My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book is a super cute quick read. It has everything that you are looking for in a romance book. It has the misjudgments at the first meeting to the growing of feelings throughout the book. Barbara went to Frank to help her with something that has Frank, who is dealing with some of his own issues, look at things a little differently. This leads to them having a horrible first meeting and yet something blossoms out of that meeting and they can’t seem to stay away from each other.
Reading this book you will get caught up in the building of he characters and their backstories. You will figure out what is bothering Frank and why Barbara needs a plastic surgeon. These two things are key to how they develop their love story. If you have a couple hours that you can sit down and get lost in the small town feel of this book, you wont be disappointed. Also, it never hurts to read about a hot doctor.

Echoing Hearts (Book 1 of The Echo Series)Echoing Hearts by C.R. Alam
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This books is book one of the series. This is the first book I’ve read by this author but I wasn’t disappointed. This was such a good book I couldn’t put it down!

Rae has decided, after seeing what it did to her mom, that love is just not for her. She is independent. She gets to travel and see the world. Why would she need to be tied to a man? Dean doesn’t let anything get him down. To make sure of that, he’s swearing off women. Neither one of them expect that one weekend can change everything. Why would they? They are happy with how their lives are.

These characters are so well developed. Rae and Dean are both stubborn. Rae is patient but also knows not to take any crap. Their chemistry just about jumps off the page. You couldn’t help but root for them! This book has some ups and downs and so much heart and emotion. It’s truly well written and I can’t wait to dive into book two. I definitely recommend this book!

Cry Baby (Pierce Brothers, #4)Cry Baby by Belinda Williams
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This book is book four of the series but can be read as a standalone. I didn’t read the first three books but didn’t feel like I lost anything. It might be a good idea to read them first to be introduced to other characters.

Noah is lost and in over his head as he finds himself the guardian of a baby. He does what anyone would do, calls his brother for help. Luckily his brother knows Amy and Amy happens to be good with kids. At first glance Amy can tell Noah is overwhelmed. She wants nothing more than to help. So she finds herself hired as Amelia’s nanny. Amy is sunshine and rainbows and Noah is definitely not. Can these two get passed their differences? There is so much more to their story but you should really read it yourself.

This was a really good read. The characters have depth and are a tad complicated. There’s secrets and a lot of emotion. This book is well written and I’m glad I picked it up!

I really enjoyed this one! This was a wonderfully written slow burn romance that was a blast to read. I enjoyed Rae and Deans chemistry. The storyline kept me hooked and I read this in practically one sitting. The secondary characters were fleshed out and had some of the best dialogue in the book. I think the author did a fantastic job making the reader feel the vast amount of emotions the MCs experienced. If you’re a fan of slow burn romance- you’ll love this book! I’m looking forward to reading the next in the series. (:

With her parents and brother missing and presumed dead, Grand Duchess Olga Romanova must keep her younger sisters safe. The Bolsheviks are determined to eliminate any remaining holdovers from the tsarist regime, hunting down the last Romanovs and putting them to death. Now living in England, the Romanov sisters remain hidden to protect their identities, even as isolation strains their relationships.

But they can’t distance themselves from the world forever.

Olga learns that a peer of the realm has accused the late Empress Alexandra of betraying Russia and her allies during the Great War. Under the spell of the scheming Grigori Rasputin, Alexandra disclosed military secrets to the enemy. If this rumor becomes a part of the historical record, it will destroy her mother’s reputation and her sisters’ futures.

Disguised as “Olivia,” a wartime nurse turned maid, Olga accepts a position in Lord Hammond’s household. There, she works to discover the truth about her mother. When Olga meets his lordship’s heir—an alluring but enigmatic veteran—her situation grows even more precarious. The more she learns about the tragedies of his past, the more complicated and dangerous their connection, and her own family’s legacy, turns out to be.

Doctor Frank Enstein spent years becoming a sought-after cosmetic surgeon and not for the same reason as others in his field. For him, it wasn’t about tits and it certainly had nothing to do with ass. His motives were deeper, purer; something only someone with a similar tragic past would understand.

He merely put up with long lines of superficial women demanding exuberant changes to perfectly fine bodies. It was a means to an end, and finally it was all paying off.

His assignment with a new burn unit at Eastport General Hospital was the job he wanted—a place where he could really make a difference.

When a busty barmaid tries to start up a conversation, she threatens to drag him back into the practice he left behind. No matter how attractive she is, that couldn’t happen.

Taking a step backward isn’t part of the plan, but maybe it should be.

About C.A. King, USA Today Bestselling Author I was diagnosed with clinical depression after the loss of my mother, father and husband within three years of each other; all to cancer. 24/7 in-home care, coupled with the loss I felt, left its mark on my psyche. Depression takes up a lot of my life. Reading and writing are the only things I have found that help (in connection with regular medication), even if only for a short time. To escape to a different world can make a big difference in my mood in real time. To put things in perspective, when I was at my lowest point, I couldn’t open mail, talk on the phone, or even drive to the store. Walls of sadness surrounded me. As they closed in, tears would fall. There didn’t need to be a reason or trigger. People ask me why I started writing. My answer is simple: I wanted to create a world into which other people with similar problems could escape. I wanted to share the one place that had helped me for many years. I have always said that as long as one person finds a little bit of happiness out of my books, I am, in my opinion, an accomplished author. The same is true for every writer out there. Please don’t ever let anyone tell you different. I read books as well as write them and have visited the worlds many different authors have created. Those worlds not only make me feel better, but give me the strength to face real life again. I want to thank everyone who writes – I want them to know they are making a difference. Fast forward to today… I am an award-winning & USA Today Bestselling Author with over 50 books available across multiple fantasy sub-genres.

Emissary: An MM Forbidden Romance (Star-Crossed Celestials Duet)Emissary: An MM Forbidden Romance by A.L. Morrow
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is an interesting take on the world of demons and angels. Kai is an angel of death and he has been trained from birth to kill. He has been taught that demons are evil and do not have emotions but that all changes when he meets Byron. The young demon shows Kai how wrong everything he has been taught is. When Kai is assigned to kill Byron, he begins to question things and lies begin to unravel as Kai and Byron fight to survive.
I enjoyed meeting Kai and Byron. The two are good together and their story pulled me in right from the start. The two quickly endeared themselves to this reader. Kai has gone through a lot in his life and he is surviving but the pain has left its mark. Byron is a young man who sees the good in Kai and trusts him to keep them safe. It was nice to watch their relationship take shape as the two work to figure out why Byron has been targeted. I also enjoyed seeing the relationship and interactions of Byron and his family. Their story moves at a good pace and I was immersed in the world and characters that the author has created.

4.5 Stars

 

His Forever Muse is the second book in The Echo series by C.R. Alam. This is a captivating second-chance contemporary romance- a friends to lovers rockstar romance with a best friends sister element threaded through.
Brandon is the front man for rock band ‘Canis Major’. His whole life revolves around his creativity and artistic expression- music, art, and tattoos. So, when he loses his inspiration and his creativity begins to suffer, Brandon’s quest is to find something, well anything really, that will reignite his creative passion. This is where he encounters a blast from the past, in the form of Calliope Chen-Bisset…. will she become “His Forever Muse”? This is well worth the read to find out….
There’s plenty of emotion, chemistry, friendship, suspense, and overcoming past pain to take a chance on love. My favourite of the series, so far.
Bring on Book #3!
Happy Reading…

Thank you, C.R. Alam!

His Forever Muse is a romantic suspense friends to lover’s second chance story. It is the second book in The Echo series. I enjoyed the first book Echoing Hearts so I was looking forward to seeing the secondary characters from the first book get their own story and what this book brought to the series. I fell in love with this book even more.
Although this story has some domestic violence themes, which may cause some triggers the author did a good job of not writing it graphically.
This heartfelt tale will make your heartache along the way as we watch our female lead find herself in a safe and loving environment that helps her to find herself and her strength once again. There is pain and suffering, angst and fear, tension and suspense and a couple of twists and an unpleasant ex from the past.
I look forward to seeing where C.R. Alam takes us next.

Manipulator's War (Ruarnon Trilogy, #1)Manipulator’s War by Elise Carlson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This book starts with action right from the very beginning, even during the Prologue you are introduced to Ruarnon, one of our main characters in the book. If you make it a habit of jumping right into the chapters and skipping this section of the book, you will miss so much information! I love how we start out getting to see the point of view of Ruarnon in his time and place, and then into the lives of our other main characters Linh, Fiona, Troy, and Michael in their modern times and home. What a fascinating idea that during a school field trip, the four kids are sent into a different time and place as if by magic to enter Ruarnon’s land and time, right when they are most needed. This book is an amazing fantasy book full of surprising twists and turns and some greatly developed fighting scenes. You will laugh, cry and cheer on our heroes and heroines as they seek to find a passage back to their homes while crossing the path of Ruarnon, the man leading his people to victory.

Cry Baby: A Grump Sunshine Slow Burn Romantic Comedy (Pierce Brothers Book 4)

Crying is what I feel like doing knowing I have to say bye to the brothers. I have fallen a little in love with each of them for totally different reasons.

Noah was so hard for me to get any vibes on in the previous books but now I know why. It’s crazy how the brothers were all raised basically the same way but the loss of their Mom impacted them into their adult lives and Noah’s way was to retreat.

Amy is trust into Noah’s life when he desperately needed help. She was there to save the day amongst other things.

I loved seeing Noah progress and evolve throughout the book. He was finally able to move forward after so many years.

I have had the pleasure of reading several books by Ms. Williams and enjoyed every single one. Looking forward to reading more by her in the future. Maybe a spinoff from this series so we can catch up with the boys and their lives???

The Summer I Went Crazy by Laura Koerber – Review by Angela Hayes

The Summer I Went CrazyThe Summer I Went Crazy by Laura Koerber
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

 

3.5 Stars

 

The Summer I Went Crazy by Laura Koerber is another intriguing story with plenty of thought-provoking content. As always, Ms. Koerber brings realism and complete believability to her story- making you feel like this actually happened.
One Summer that will never be forgotten, for many reasons. Forty years later and it still is plays on the mind and soul. Now, can a phone call change everything?
The story does have an emotive quality about it, and definitely made me ‘feel’ quite a lot as everything unravelled- it does centre around a crazy summer, and does contain sensitive subject matters, as in rape, which is central to the whole story – but this is ultimately a coming-of-age story- with dubious decisions, drama, angst, guilt, turmoil, emotion, and a first-person POV.
This story is a rewrite of Ms. Koerber’s Coyote Summer, but without the fantasy and magical realism. This version is a ‘straight’ up fiction/women’s fiction story- which works really well. It is a bit of a character study too- with the whole coming of age woven through it all.
Looking forward to seeing what Ms. Koerber does next.

Thank you, Laura Koerber!

Have you considered whether a war is going on during your book, a pandemic, or possibly wherever the automobile has been invented yet? The author talks you through your background information on the book so that once you get in the writing groove, you don’t have to keep stopping.

This is an amazing read!! There is a prequel to this book that I suggest you read but you don’t have to in order to dive into this one. Jack and Isaac have off the charts chemistry. It’s been five years since they last saw each other and there is so much they have to say. I was ecstatic when I found out that the author was writing a second generation series. I have loved reading about the Hawkes since the beginning. Jack and Isaac have a lot of feelings and outside problems that they have to work through. This story has action, romance, danger, steamy moments and so much more. Once I started reading I couldn’t put it down until I got to the end. This is a must read you don’t want to miss out on.

Right off the bat, this book had my full attention. I loved seeing an LGBT+ main character for the series, especially one so well written! Honestly what really captivated me was the wit of Ruarnon’s personality. There’s a lot of world building in the first chunk of this book, which is to be expected with it being a fantasy trilogy. This is my first book by this author, and I’m really impressed with it! The writing style is very detailed, and reminds me almost of Tolkien’s work. It did take me some time to get through it all, but I really enjoyed it and I do recommend it!

Destiny of Light (Quirk of Destiny, #3)Destiny of Light by Catherine Greenall
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

 

4 Stars

 

Destiny of Light is the third and final book in the Quirk of Destiny Trilogy by Catherine Greenall. As with the rest of the trilogy, this is a gripping dystopian post-apocalyptic thriller with sci-fi elements, action, danger, agendas, good vs evil, GM messages, sinister foes, twists, and plenty of dramatic developments.
As I said with the other instalments, Ms. Greenall cleverly weaves a dynamic, detailed, and incredibly descriptive saga, managing to pack so much tension, intrigue, and thrilling detail into the story. Each book builds onto what has come before- painting a ‘bigger’, more dramatic and yet truly believable picture. As I have said before, I can definitely see this trilogy making a great dystopian movie or TV series.
As each book builds on from the previous, I really recommend reading the first two books before starting on this final instalment, as there is a lot of important plot information, character details, and backstory there that you should know in order to fully understand and appreciate this book.
If you love intense, post-apocalyptic stories with a highly original plot, environmental messages, believability, danger, and plenty of action- then this is definitely the book/series for you.
Looking forward to seeing what Ms. Greenall does next.
Happy Reading…

Thank you, Catherine Greenall!

Shameless Love (The Bennetts of Langston Falls, #2)Shameless Love by K.G. Fletcher
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Shameless Love is the 2nd book in the Bennetts of Langston Falls series. I did not read the first book, and still enjoyed this, however, I felt like I was missing quite a bit of backstory. The focus of the story is on Elyse and Walt, and their story is a stand alone. However, there is a lot of background family drama at the start and end of the book, that I felt lost regarding. I assume Teddy and Glen’s drama unfolded in book 1. This book did not go the direction I was expecting. The story starts out talking about Walt buying a house, in a questionable way, with some background drama. And then shifts to his sister Becky, and being approached by a cable network Cooking show. Walt offers to chaperone her, and up to this point, is portrayed as a southern country gentleman. However, things turn around at the New Years Eve party, and the book turns to a bit of smut. The focus for the bulk of the book is their building relationship, which was a good story. But, I feel like the beginning and the end, with Walt’s home, and Glen, is a whole other story, that didn’t seem to flow well. It was a little more steamy than I expected, but the author did warn us of that! Overall, not bad, and I would read the others in the story or by the author. I like the close family dynamic the author created.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Emissary was interesting. I liked it but I’ll be honest I didn’t love it. But I won’t take anything away from the author. What the author presented was well written. If you enjoy MM romance with some protective action, this is a book you should definitely check out.
Kai has been assigned to rid the world of demons and watchers. Unfortunately to those above him “the angel of death” cannot justify ridding the world of one demon on his hit list. Byron may be a demon but he has a pure soul. He needs to understand why before going through with his orders. Especially since the stars are telling him otherwise, “that it’s not his time.” It also doesn’t help that he’s attracted to the innocent man.
Byron doesn’t understand why the Emissary spared his life. He has one job and that’s to kill his kind. So why him? He can’t deny that this angel is stunning. He wants him despite him being extremely dangerous.
Kai, taken aback by how Byron sees him, plans to protect him at all costs. They set out on an adventure to answer the question of, why? While being on the run.
I wasn’t a fan of the brutality but I enjoyed the romance and adventure. You may feel differently and this book could be everything you’re looking for. So check it out, because I’m sure no matter what you will find a new potentially favorite author.

Exposed (Descendants Series Book 3)Exposed by Lea Cherry
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Amy’s whole life has been turned upside down and she feels lost. Her friends have abandoned her and everything she thought she knew about herself, and her family turns out to be untrue. Not only does she discover who she “really” is, but she learns who her father is and that the mother she thought was dead is not actually dead. Problem is that her mom’s soul is trapped in an ethereal state and needs to be reattached to her body. Amy sets out to rescue her mom but needs someone of Pure-blood to power-share to bring her mom back. The only one with this ability is the enemy and Amy must make a deal with him if she wants to save her mother. Will the risk be worth it?

This book is the third book in the Descendants Series and jumps right into Amy’s story. Admittedly, I have not read the first two books, but it was easy to follow along without feeling like I missed anything. The characters are well written, and the scenes are written superbly. Amy is stronger than she thinks when faced with adversity and betrayal. Rather than give up after her whole world was turned topsy-turvy, she chose to stand up and face the challenges head-on.

A Stranger in Disguise (A Commissario Scala Mystery in Rome) by P.J. Mann – Review by Nicole Thompson

/0 Comments/in /by

If you’re looking for a mystery thriller that will keep you on the edge of your seat until the very end, P.J. Mann’s A Stranger in Disguise is a must-read. The book is written in English but is set in Italy, and the author’s use of language hints that they may be more familiar with a different language, but this does not take away from the book’s readability. The story follows Detective Maurizio Scala as he investigates the murder of a costume maker for a foreign acting group in Rome, Italy. At first, it seems like a straightforward case, but soon reveals itself to be more complicated than it first appeared. Detective Scala finds himself embroiled in a web of lies, deceit, drugs, and murder, as he discovers the victim’s ties to a bank robbery and the Romania mafia. If you’re a fan of thrillers, you won’t want to miss out on A Stranger in Disguise!
