Elle has had enough! Life had to be better somewhere else. Her past 6 years had been horrible for Elle. Now is the time to take her life back. Blake has had his share of heartbreak. His answer was the bottle, so he thought. Both Elle and Blake must take back their lives. Will these two broken people be able to get out from under their secrets and move on? The author has set up a story some of us have lived through. It was hard in the beginning, the emotions were raw, but the end brought forth a new message. I enjoy reading a strong willed woman, and a stronger male character who can fight their way out, and build back their independence. While this was a hard story for me to read, in the beginning. It soon became a must read book, sending out a whole new outlook. The emotions are raw and the events are real. I look forward to reading the next book in this series.

A fantastic collection by some amazing authors. I really enjoyed this collection of romances, especially with the sci-fi touch. There is something for everyone here, M/F, M/M, Reverse Harem and many more. Here are a couple of the stories that stood out to me personally:
The Alien and The Crime Boss by Naomi Valkyrie I am so in love with mm romance and this story really interested me. The concept of Leilphun being a “warrior” and he kind of grows into this being to help defend and protect Kasper. I love the attachment Kasper forms for Leilphun and the drama that unfolds while Kasper tries to merge the two empires.
Chastity Unchained by Ashley Amy I did not want this to end! I need more of Harker, Zaron and Chan! First the fact they Harker is a plus size beauty drew me in immediately, and then 2 hot aliens want her, cherry on top. They seem to only need Chastity to procreate for their own species, together, but I sense by the end both of them want more from her. I absolutely loved how strong Harker is and how she talks back to both men with no fear.
Taken by the Asian by Elizabeth Dunlap I loved this story so much! Raza and Lux are so perfect together. This M/M relationship was steamy, nerve wracking, heartbreaking at one point, and everything I could want. It was nice to see Lux finding someone that could satisfy him and that he felt a connection with after not finding what the was looking for, for so long. Raza, he’s got secrets, and when Lux finds out what they are it sparks a beautiful fire in their relationship.

I’m am so happy Tam Derudder Jackson decided to give Garrett his happy ending. This is the fifth book in this series but can be read as a standalone.
In this book you get to see a side of Garrett you haven’t seen in the previous books. Now… if you have read the previous book, the urge to give him a good whack still happens, ha, but you really start to understand him in a different way.
Olivia is trying to get her production company off the ground after an amazing Grammy show. When Balefire wanted to do a music video with her, she is forced to see Garrett for the first time in a decade. This second chance romance is hot, steamy and full of drama!

This book is a refreshing take on the fae and how they interact with the mundane of the world. Such an original story. I love the characters and interactions as well as the plot line. I will definitely be reading more Sinister Styx!
Aliens On Earth is a fantastic collection of short sci-fi romance stories from some incredibly talented authors. This book contains 36 captivating stories- so there are many hours of engrossing reading to be had and there’s definitely something here to suit all sci-fi romance lovers. There are a huge variety of stories here with a plethora of interesting human and alien characters who are all so diverse and wonderfully crafted into unique individuals who you will find so easy to connect with. So, get comfortable and settle in for some wonderful reading set to captivate you through every page. I really enjoyed a few hours exploring this wonderful anthology, and I am sure that you will love this collection just as much as I have! I won’t review every book, even though I enjoyed them all, as that would take forever for you to read- so I will choose just a few of the ones that stood out for me to give you a bit of an idea of what you might find between these covers.
The Collection Contains:
–Alice’s Illusions By: Maya Black
–The Chosen By: Tori Kellett
–The Alien and the Crime Boss By: Naomi Valkyrie This is a well-woven sci-fi mafia MM romance with aliens, action, adventure, danger, high stakes, suspense, agendas, fated mates, and much more. Leilphun escapes his home world and arrives on earth and into a situation he never anticipated. Kasper Kingston has a plan and can’t afford any distractions or mistakes- but fate has its own agenda. I loved this story so much. Loved the characters, the world-building, and other clever touches, and although this is a short story, it has the impact of a much longer novel. Definitely one of my favourites of this collection. Can always count on Ms. Valkyrie for an original and captivating read.
–Dark Thief By: Melissa Riddell
–Mated to the Serpent Prince By: J.C. Brown & Lena Lane
–Exiled By: Aurora Hunter -Her Alien Rock Star (Her Alien Hero Series Book #1) By: Elle Ryan This is the shortest story in the collection, but never-the-less left quite an impression on me. AJ is out with friends when a surprising blast form the past brining unresolved emotions bubbling to the surface. Ceol is the sexy intergalactic superstar that left AJ to go on tour with his band and never came back. She was always on his mind, and he always hoped that they would reconnect. Now they have a second chance- can he convince her that they belong together? A sweet, hot and steamy second chance alien romance. I will definitely be keeping my eye out for the rest of this story/series. *Special mention to the ‘special appendage/s’
–Taken By the Asani By: Elizabeth Dunlap This is a cute, sweet, sexy, and very steamy MM sci-fi romance with an arranged marriage aspect that gave this story an extra element of interest with lots more to keep you engrossed the whole way through. Lux and Raza were so perfect for each other. I was rooting for them right from the get-go. This is also a first for me- with the MPreg element, as I had never read one before and wasn’t sure I would ‘like’ that element in a story, but after this story I might just be a convert now. Another stand-out in this collection.
–Xalan Claimed By: A.J. Mullican I really enjoyed this sexy story. It is a sci-fi romance with plenty of humour, banter, steam, and a touch of destiny. Amber’s been burned by love- so after she caught her husband cheating, she filed for divorce and moved into a cabin on a lake and proceeded to make a comfortable, although lonely, life for herself. What happens when a sexy alien literally crashes his ship into the lake right off her pier? Well get set for things to take a sizzling turn. The language barrier definitely added humour to the whole encounter. And his special appendages certainly grabbed Amber’s (and my) attention. The story is set to continue in the full novel set to release in Fall, as this was an enticing teaser. I will definitely be grabbing a copy when it releases to continue Amber and Q’on’s story.
–Nova Lost By: Kerry Keller & Kira Roman
–Haven On Earth By: K. Rose
–Her Secret Alien By: Susanna Eastman
–A Ruthless Bargain (Alien Enforcers Book #1) By: Zadie Fox
–A Mate For Haax (Mated to the Grekarian Series Book #2) By: Evie Burks
–Rebel Mate By: K.O. Newman & Miri Stone
–Prometheus Bound By: Mariah Thayer
–Chastity Unchained By: Ashley Amy This turned out to be quite an intriguing sci-fi story- with so much potential for a bigger impact- so I really hope this is just a taste of a longer story/series that will be releasing in the future, because I was completely invested in the story and the characters, but felt it ended a little abruptly. Harker is an exotic dancer who arrives at a club to catch up with her best friends after enduring a day from hell as first she catches her boyfriend cheating, and then one of her clients drops dead. But her night is about to take a turn for the worse when she and her friends are abducted by aliens who need some humans to breed with. What happens makes for a sexy read. Looking forward to more, hopefully.
–Her Virgin Alien- A Steamy Sci-Fi Time Travel Alien Romance By: Mariyam Hasnain
–My Boss is An Alien By: Ashlyn Hawkes
–Lovin the Alien Exile By: K.N Fray
–Representing the Alien Bride Lottery By: Margo Bond Collins What happens when a group of terrorists attack the Annual Holiday Ball at the Khanavain Earth Embassy and hold everyone hostage? Join Aarek and Vivian as they try to save the day. This was such a great story- full of action, danger, drama, tension, chemistry, and spice. I will definitely be exploring more of the Alien Bride Lottery series- I can feel a book-binge coming on.
-Just a Space Fling By: Nyx Black & Lor Nicole
–Cookie For the Space Man By: Star Wing
–The Trouble With Aliens By: Tricia Schneider
–Red Stars Crossed (Dragonfire Soul Mates Book #1) By: London Kemaker
–Alien Prince By: Daniel Jacks I always enjoy Ms. Jack’s stories, and this one was no exception. Naomi and Zenith drew me into their story and held me captive right through to the end. Woven with drama, danger, chemistry, and the fate of the world at stake, these two took me on quite the adventure. Looking forward to more from Ms. Jacks.
I jumped into this book not really knowing what to expect except that they were all sci-fi/alien romances. But I soon discovered that all the stories are really quite wonderful and engrossing, with fantastic plots, varied characters who are complex and fully developed- and each story was really well crafted. Not only did I get to read work from some favourite authors- I also got to explore the work of many new to me authors and found a slew of new books to add to my TBR, so colour me one happy little bookworm. There are some intriguing storylines, interesting characters, very suspenseful moment and surprising developments; some funny, light-hearted and touching moments; as well as some hot, steamy, and spicy times. Not to mention more than a few ‘interesting’ appendages to add extra ‘zing’ to the collection. I highly recommend this anthology. You won’t regret buying this collection, it is worth every cent of the purchase price- 36 books for the price of one! Now that’s a real bargain! Happy Reading…

Fortune favors no one! At least in this book. It was interesting to say the least. A lot of moving parts that come together nicely. Truly Unfortunate I would recommend to anyone that likes anything to do with psychological thrillers. It makes you think, it gives you that kind of what’s really going on aspect. I’ve read this author before and I feel like I’m hit or miss if I enjoy the book or not. This was one of those hit moments. Which is why I keep picking books up. Truly finds herself in a pickle. Her memories are suppressed due to traumatic events from her past. Unfortunately those types of events start to follow her again. When an old childhood friend, it seemed, came up I thought he would be on her side. Knowing her troubled childhood. Never did I expect him to be out to bring her down. To pin the unexpected on her. Even convinces her doctors to turn against her. All in the name of money. What will she do? Does she truly not know what’s going on? Does the old friend prove his case? Those questions and many more are what keep the reader ingrained within the pages. I will always recommend this author if I enjoy the book or not. This time I’ll definitely recommend the book as well. The book is not overly long and you’ll want to finish it once you start. So what are you waiting for? While you start this one, I’ll look forward to the next book in the series.

King – Review by Beverly Finnie
This was a great 5 star read. It took me a bit to get pulled in but once I was I didn’t want to put it down. I really liked Natalie and Grayson, they were great characters and I enjoyed their story, even though they started out not so great. They were both very strong and had some things they were dealing with. As you read their story you get drama, action, steamy moments and so much more. We do also get some twists and turns that put Natalie in danger. Will Grayson be able to keep her safe? Overall this was a great story. The author did a great job with her writing. I look forward to reading more from this author and series. 1-click and get started today.

This is the first book that i have read by this author and I enjoyed it more than I expected too. The summary of the story sounded interesting and nothing like what I have read about before so i was quick to get it downloaded and read it on my free evening. There was a lot that happened in this story but it didn’t feel rushed. It had elements of romance with a little bit of the supernatural thrown in and that made the story even more interesting. I enjoyed the main characters and the author’s writing style.. so I am looking forward to reading more by this author in the future! Happy Reading!

Another great book written by Lois Wickstrom. This book was about a grandma who bought her granddaughter a orange tree. The granddaughter got to learn how to care for the tree. She also had to learn about insects and how they eat. This was such a cute book. The illustration was good in it also.
The Serpent and the Firefly is my first book by this author. We meet Jade, who does not know or understand the power she possesses. Baal, the first king of Hell and a serpent shapeshifter, is there to stop Jade before the prophecy is fulfilled. The characters are interesting and help guide the story through the paranormal world. I like Jade and her interesting backstory. When Baal enters the picture, it adds another dimension to her story. I enjoyed the tension between the two characters and how after meeting Jade, it challenges Baal’s plans. If you enjoy paranormal fantasy stories with a lot of action, I recommend this book. After reading it, I will be searching out more to read by this author.

5 Star’s I’ll Love You Tomorrow (Trading Heartbeats Trilogy Book 3) by Julie Navickas
I’ll Love You Tomorrow is the third book in the Trading Heartbeats Trilogy. I absolutely loved this book and had a hard time putting it down until I finished. I read the previous two books and definitely recommend reading them as some of the characters we meet in previous books. This one is by far my favorite yet. Her characters are well developed and very relatable and real. You could feel the heartache through her words my emotions were all over the place. This is Lauren and Mitch’s story. These two have known each other since she was six years old and have been married for the last six years. She has a restaurant named Pier Ninety-Two that she has put her everything into. And Mitch is pulling away becoming distant. Neither one wants the divorce but he doesn’t seem to want to fix it either. When her restaurant burns down she’s heartbroken over it. Can these fix their marriage before its to late? I highly recommend reading this book to find out what happens next. I can’t wait to see what she brings us next.

This is the second book that I have read that Susan has written. I absolutely loved this book. It was intense and yet relaxing at the same time. I felt connected with Miranda Diggs ( main character) when it comes to feeling guilty about certain things in life. There is something about the cabin that just reminds me of camping but yet being comfortable. So many things happen throughout the story, except Miranda. She remains stuck in her own head for most of the story. I know that I get that way sometimes and the only way to get out that mindset is to make a change. You know, get out of your comfort zone. Miranda is forced to do that in this book. I think that a lot of people should be forced out of the comfort zone, myself included. I think that everyone should read this book, I feel that it pulls you in to really understand the characters and what they are going through.

Brave kids was such an amazing book. There was short stories in it by several different authors. The little stories definitely teach kids how they can be brave. My daughter is 9 and I read the book to her. She absolutely loved the book. If you are wanting to teach your kids how to be brave, I recommend this book to read!

This is such a fun small town mystery. I definitely enjoyed every second of reading it. In this mystery Darcy must work to clear her good name. She has been falsely accused of the murder of a famous musician. I loved all the music references found throughout the book. I definitely recommend reading this one as it was definitely enjoyable!

Kenney – Review by Christine Baranek
This is a based-on-a-true-story of the author’s quest to find love. He’s a divorced dad of boys who lives in Austrailia and he’s ready to move on with his life.
He first meets Zoya, who is a super ambitious business woman. She’s a bit crazy though and has bouts of anger and lashes out at the weirdest of times. Zoya and Leo have good chemistry, until everything blows up and Zoya admits a huge goal that does not interest Leo.
Next is Aysha. She’s a therapist and there is an ethical dilemma with them forming a relationship. However, after the pre-determined time passes, they are free to do whatever they wish.
Last is Jade. She’s still trying to recover from a failed marriage and treading a new pathway for herself. Her kids need to come first and then there’s the semi-ex-husband, who seems to keep popping up.
This book just wasn’t for me. I felt this was really superficial and almost like a bad high school play. I think Leo’s only redeeming grace in this story is his love for music and poetry. He seems like a real romantic but it had a feel to it that just didn’t attract me to this story at all.

This is the newest book in the Popov Boys Series. Once again I have no complaints about this book other than I wasn’t ready for it to be over. I love this series and I truly love how well written these characters are and how detailed the plot lines get into the mafia life. Efrem’s goes out as Punk at night and hunts criminals to turn them over to the police. Miranda is definitely a strong female character. She has gone through so much. The last thing she expects is to fall for PUNK, but here she is. Can they get past their age differences to make things work? Once again this is a fantastic book in the series. I definitely have enjoyed each and every one and recommend reading them!

Andrik is such an amazing character. He has definitely been dealt a hard hand and he is very judged by his looks. He has lived a very hard life and has not had anything handed to him. He joined the Popov Bravata and works his way very hard to earn his way up the ranks. In the earns himself a very special assignment, guarding the boss’ daughter. Who also happens to be the girl he has had a crush on in nearly forever. Annika is not a normal Bravata princess, she loves her piano more than people and is confined to a wheelchair. The two develop feelings for each other, however, Andrik fails at his duty to protect her. This turns their lives on their heads again. Once again this mafia story is fantastic. I cannot recommend this series enough. It is filled with steam, suspense and twists and turns!

This is the first book of the Popov Boys series that I have read. But I can definitely promise you it will not be the last. I will be reading each and every one to learn more of each of the boys. This book goes between the perspectives of Dominick and Leah. Sometimes I can find this dual perspective storytelling to be jarring. However, if it is done well, it can be one of the most enjoyable forms of storytelling. In this case, this is what I enjoyed about this story. Dominick is part of the famed Popov family and he has always prided himself on never getting attached to anyone. Leah is a country music star. Their paths cross and from there the book becomes impossible to put down. I definitely recommend reading this story and I will be reading all the rest of the Popov Boys Series in the future!

Another sweet story by this author. However, it does not start out sweet. In fact it reeks of divorce and sadness. This story is a little heartbreaking but so very true showing us the trials of married life and letting “life” just pass on by.
Mitch and Lauren have been together for YEARS. And their story shows how those closest to us can be the first ones to be neglected. Relationships take work, marriages take work. Mitch said “But I don’t think either of us can deny that we’ve been together for so long, we’ve lost ourselves along the way.”
This story tears Mitch and Lauren down and then builds them right back up. It’s not easy. But man is it so worth it. “People grow and people change. But in the end, our soulmates are the ones who help us find our own souls.”
This is the third story in this trilogy and should be read in order as each story refers to characters from the other books.
Looking forward to what else this author gives us!

Consigliere’s Revenge (Sicilian Gods Book 3) by Via Mari 5 Stars
This series is amazing! This is book three and although it can be read as a stand-alone, I suggest reading them all. Not only will you get a better understanding of the back story but they are so good.
This book centres on Lorenzo and Isabella. She is a head strong, driven journalist who through her stories hopes to bring down the family. Yet she is a reporter with integrity, only wanting to reveal the truth. With some personal issues behind what she does, she walks courageously into dangerous situations.
Lorenzo, being the consigliere, is always watching to protect the family. Getting rid of this nosy reporter is top on his list. She already knows too much and is smart enough to uncover more. Although he knows he should bury her, he can’t fight the attraction.
This is another book filled with danger, secrets, action and passion. It will keep you on the edge of your seat. The chemistry between the two main characters is off the charts. I loved them both. This is a fantastic addition to the series that I highly recommend.

This was an easy to read, short romance which focused on Tristan the firefighter and Riley the private detective.
I thought the characters were well-written, especially as the story is told from both perspectives, and felt that the tougher subjects in the plot were approached respectfully; however, I felt that there were parts which appeared to be a little underdeveloped.
I enjoyed the plot, it was a unique idea and considering the length of the book and the events which take place, the author did a great job. I strongly believe that had the story been a little longer, the author would have been able to provide the depth necessary to take this from a good read, to an incredible one.
I absolutely loved the characters. Tristan’s strength and protectiveness whilst also being sensitive and unafraid to display emotions won me over. I also loved Riley’s strength and independence, but mostly I loved that her career was one that is usually reserved for the men in these types of books. The chemistry between the pair kept me rooting for the couple in the face of the dangers they faced. That paired with the steam, great!
Overall, I enjoyed reading this and would consider reading it again in future, but I feel that an increase in length would have allowed for further development which would have made all the difference.

This book is the continuation of great series and I was excited to pick up this latest instalment. I wanted to see how things would turn out for the characters and become involved in their adventures again. This book was just as exciting as the others and I reconnected with the characters without issue. I was pulled along on their journey. As the final book in the trilogy it was a great way to end it all. Although I can definitely say I hope the author will produce more within this series as it really was so good.

Lyall – Review by Kerry Baker
I love finding new authors and new sort of twists on old tales. This was exactly the audiobook I needed. I love how the author is able to twist the tale of creation. The author brings the characters to life and brings the twist and turns along for the ride. I really could not stop listening to this book. The narrator brought so much to the characters and story. I really love how the story unfolds. Just when you thought you knew how creation started this book really adds a spice and flavour to the story bringing the listener along for the ride. I thoroughly got lost in this audiobook and cannot wait to hear more from this author.

When I first started reading this book I thought it was going to be a fairy light hearted and feel good story of a young boy overcoming challenges and “defeating” a bully. This book was so much more than that, and so much more emotional than I thought it would be. It was the relationship between Silas and his grandfather that stood out to me the most. It was beautiful and heart breaking at the same time and I loved everything about it. I have only read a few books by this author so far but this one is definitely my favourite. I am hard pushed to see how another will beat this. I would urge everyone to read this book.

I think it’s safe to say that this story definitely lives up to its title! This might have been a short read but it was jam packed full of action from the very first page. Riley and Tristan had so much chemistry and I loved Riley so much! She was a brilliant female lead. Tristan had the sexy firefighter vibe going on so I was swooning over him from the moment I met him! Both characters had their past issues – some a little crazier than others. I would definitely have loved this book to have been longer, the characters were great and the potential for their story to be longer and a bit more detailed was definitely there. I am really looking forward to reading more from this author in the future!

It has been a while since I’ve poetry, but the experience that I had with this collection was entertaining. The journey the author gives of their experiences( the good, tragic, and kaleidoscopic) is definitely present, and I literally felt the journey inside my soul. The biography poem that he wrote certainly had me grabbing a dictionary to try and experience the poem as he worded it! I always love discovering new words. As I encountered his first round of poems I definitely connected with the different ties of within ourselves and not that all is good and grand. The flow had me up and down, as well as reflecting on my own things that hide in the shadow, or that I have divided into more than myself. The graphics within the books do the poems justice and allow for you to peek in the author’s headspace a little more, but also allowed me to see myself in the pieces, or possibly could see. Some of my favorite pieces are the Beatle’s Connections! I don’t particularly like the Beatles, but you can see how it brings out the best in the author! The happy and uplifting tones and descriptions, along with the bright colors and graphics REALLY allow the reader to enjoy them! Read the collection and allow yourself to have an open mind!

This was such a sweet read, even though it’s a children’s book I loved it so much. Silas was such an adorable character and I just loved his attitude towards everything. I can see how passionate the author was about this book when she wrote it, it shines through on every single page and through the characters. I loved the email part to the story between Silas and his Grandfather, for some reason it felt so personal and made everything seem so much more relatable. I love how many talking points this book has for children. This really was a lovely read and I would highly recommend it.

I love a Western Romance read and I’m so glad I stumbled across this one! It was a great read and I thoroughly enjoyed it. The emotions of the characters just poured off the pages and I could really feel what they were feeling at times. Elle was such an inspirational character to read about, I really feel like the author took her time when planning and writing about Elle, she took a very sensitive and triggering issue and really wrote about it well and with respect. Elle wasn’t the only character with past demons that she had to face we also had Blake as well with everything he was dealing with. Both characters had an inner strength and I loved seeing how they supported each other throughout the story. This really was a wonderful, yet hard to read at times, story however the author did an amazing job with handling everything sensitively and I would absolutely recommend this book to other readers.
