My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is the first in the Shadow Defense Security series, this instalment focuses on Keira and Cade. This Romantic Suspense story hooks you from the beginning and surprises you with twists and turns. Just when you think you’ve figured it out, another twist is thrown in.

I loved the characters in this book, Keira was a strong independent professional woman who was able to be open and Cade was strong, protective without being overbearing and skilled. The increasing danger to Keira increases the tension as Cade tries to save her before it’s too late but also increases the chemistry between the pair.

I couldn’t put this book down and can’t wait for the next in the series!

Murder in a Gated CommunityMurder in a Gated Community by Laura Koerber
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I wasn’t entirely sure what to expect before reading this, but I thoroughly enjoyed it. It had me hooked from the start and the premise was brilliant, leading you one way before revealing its true nature.

I loved the humour sprinkled in, it had me smiling like an idiot while reading thankfully my only audience consisted of a cat and dog.
The scenes and characters were well-written and made believable. The issues they each face made it truly feel like a small community, each with their own contributions and life stories.

I enjoyed the story the author told and look forward to reading more from this author.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the first book in the Shadow Defense series and I can’t wait for more. The author does an amazing job with this story, I was gripped from the beginning and I couldn’t put it down. It has everything i love in a story, a dangerous situation, a strong protective man and a woman who is independent but not afraid to be vulnerable.
Keria O’ Ryan is a successful PR person. Everything is going great for her. That is until she realises she has a stalker. This stalker is following and watching her every move and when she starts to receive worrying messages and the threat takes a dangerous turn.
Cade is Keria’s neighbour. As a former SEAL and now a member of a private security team he knows how to protect someone from danger and after hearing Keria’s stalker issue he can’t help but want to protect her.
Using the team around him he tries to figure out and stop this stalker and protect Keria before it’s too late. But how do you stop someone who always seems to be one step ahead of you.

This is a suspenseful read which will keep you on the edge of your seat. The twists and turns meant I couldn’t put it down and as the spark grows between Keira and Cade it just added an extra element of danger as the risk of him losing the women he has feelings for makes the threat even more dangerous.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Murder in a Gated Community by Laura Koerber. This is such a fun romp. I thought it might be kind of dull being about older people but it is such a fun read. These people are like overgrown teenagers. Its a community of older individuals that are able to take care of themselves. Its called Oaken Acres community and the people all have drama and problems. One woman is mad because the dog is barking across the street, one is plotting to kill someone just because she doesn’t like them and one has major drama with her ex husband who is abusive. Some have animals, some have family and there are a lot of lies, betrayal, politics and friendships. I caught myself laughing out loud several times. This is a short fun read that is more than a cozy mystery!

The Book of Hours (Coin/Hours Duology Book 2) Audiobook by Maria Elena Alonso-Sierra – Review by Maikalani Alexander

/0 Comments/in /by

The book of hours is definitely an action packed story, twists and turns navigate the semblance of her life. Touching on her pain her heart feels stuck in a loveless marriage, rejected by the love of her life. Gabriella thrust herself into being her own heroine.

However, she can’t do it on her own. A blast from the past and love of her life Richard shows up once again securing her life and maybe her love?

If you like mystery, action, romance, thrillers, and unlocking secrets this is the book for you.

My only drawback was the reader. Sometimes it was hard to feel the emotion, follow along, and differentiate between the characters as who was speaking.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is an author that I never hesitate to pick up. I enjoy reading this author’s books and they never let me down. This is one of my favorites by this author yet. This is a well written story that will show you what happens when you mess with a woman’s family. A story where a woman is the hero and one you don’t want to mess with. I enjoyed how I was pulled into the story from the start by the author’s use of details. The author’s writing style brings life to the story as well as the great characters. I enjoyed watching the growth of the characters as well as the plot as it made it an easy story to read. This is a fast paced story that is hard to put down. Once you start you don’t want it to stop. You don’t want to miss this must read story for sure. I highly suggest reading the previous books in this series as well. I highly recommend this book and this author.

Forbidden Blood (The Shadow Chronicles Book 4)Forbidden Blood by C.R. Robertson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I was sooo happy to see this book come out! I love the world this author has created and missed these wonderful characters. It is full of danger, suspense and paranormals. The first half was a little slow for me. I liked the insight into the male lead but got bored. The second half is all fire and brimstone and action filled and I could not read it fast enough!

I got to see some new characters and hang out with old friends. Dominic is stll a treat to watch and when he hangs with the gang he becomes feisty, crazy and curious. His dialogue made me laugh so many times but he also shows his serious old soul a time or two. I really saw Kimber grow in here. She went from a whiney loner to a strong woman. I could really *feel* it near the end just rolling off the letters.

Overall a great addition to the series! I loved so much about this one. One of my favorite scenes involved his house. Its alive! It shifts, rejects or welcomes people. I liked it a lot. I can’t wait for more as I am hoping more elemental sorceress will be found (hopefully for Dominic haha).

I enjoyed reading this suspenseful story. This is still a newer author for me which I enjoy reading and look forward to seeing what is next. I found this book to be well written and has twists and turns that will keep you guessing to the end. I enjoyed how the author used details to pull you into the story from the start. The characters made the story realistic and I had no problems picturing myself right along with them. They are strong, connectable characters where the female is not only the hero but also has her own demons to deal with. I enjoyed watching the growth of this story which made it easy to read. It is fast paced, engaging and hard to put down. I really enjoyed reading this book. I highly recommend this book.

Guarding the Crease (The Playmakers #9)Guarding the Crease by G.K. Brady
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Wyatt Tompkins is in a slump, using his status as a NHL Goalie just a little too much so when his antics are no longer fun and hindering his career he spirals into a slump. With no team anymore and not knowing what he can do to bring him back into the NHL he decides to go out and have a drink with his cousin, Noah. That night changes his life forever.

Serena Lambert has her career on the incline, PR Director of one of the top NHL teams wanting her savvy skills to take her higher until one night she is thrown into the path of the most infamous hockey player she has ever met but as she gets to know him, he starts to work his way into her heart.

When Wyatt asks Serena to help him improve his image, she is reluctant at first but over time the chemistry and attraction is too much to ignore but when two personalities are that different can they find the line in the sand to be together.

I loved this story and another great addition to the series, although this is part of the series you can easily read this as a standalone book.

I must admit when you first meet Wyatt you do think what a complete waste of space, he has caused this on himself and he needs to grow up, but as they story moves along you understand and get to see the real person inside and grow to love him, I know but you do. Serena is a brilliant sassy, independent strong woman, who takes no nonsense from him and calls him on his behaviour which is brilliant to read.

The story was well written, and the main characters really drive the story along which enhanced the reading experience and I was frantically diving in to finish and see what happens in the end. I can’t wait to read more in this series and by this author.

Kiera O’Ryan is smart, successful and is good at her job, but there is one thing that has her searching the dark corners and causing her to question her sanity she has a stalker. Although she has requested help from the Montana Police they can’t seem to find or locate who the person is. They always feel one step ahead, until she recruits her neighbour to help.

Cade Hartford is ex-forces and working for a Private Military contractor but when his neighbour comes to him to help with her stalker problem, he jumps straight in to help, the only problem is this stalker is always ahead of them and it feels very much like a game of cat and mouse.

Can Cade help Kiera find the culprit and recuse Kiera?

This is the first book I have read from this author and will not be the last, the twists and turns in this book have you at the edge of your seat with anticipation.

The story is well written, and the main characters are well balanced and suit each other brilliantly, the chemistry between them jumps off the page and adds to the flow of the story as the drama builds. The character of Cade is a great alpha male and as I say I love a flawed character and he has his hang-ups along the way, although with the strong female character of Kiera and her strong will and sassy nature this makes a brilliant combination.

As this book can be read as a standalone, I can’t wait for the next book in this series and I believe Mavery Ellscott has just become another author in my very long TBR list.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

 

3.5 Stars

 

Shadowed Obsession is the first book in the Shadow Defense Security series and debut novel by Mavery Ellscott. It is an engrossing romantic suspense with a dangerous and obsessed stalker, a deadly game of cat and mouse, sinister intent, slow-burn romance, thrills, action, tension, intrigue, suspense, chemistry, humour, creepiness, and more.
Keira O’Ryan is a hardworking P.R. specialist whose life has taken a bit of a sinister turn when an obsessed stalker begins following her every move, sending creepy messages that destroy her peace of mind. Cade Hartford is a former Navy SEAL turned private security operative who is recovering from an injury sustained during a previous mission gone wrong. He has just moved in next door to Keira and can’t help but be drawn into her stalker ordeal. When the stalking takes an even more dangerous turn, Cade and his team are determined to uncover the stalker before it’s too late. But this sinister foe seems to always be one step ahead of them- so the story takes a bit of an intense turn, bringing plenty of thrills along the way….
While I did enjoy the story, there were some issues that kept pulling me out of the story and interrupting the flow of the storyline. There was quite a lot of repeated information, thoughts/inner dialogue- as well as a lot of contradictions/conflicting information and details that I felt detracted from the otherwise stellar story. It has left me with mixed feelings as to what rating I should give this book because if there were not so many little issues, this would definitely be a five-star read for me… but as things stand the issues have detracted from my overall enjoyment of the story, so I feel that I can’t justify awarding it more than 3.5 stars, as things stand. I feel that these issues should have been caught in the beta reading stage, but definitely should have been picked up during the editing process. I feel for the author because these things should have been noted/corrected, which would make her book not only a superb story, but a professionally polished piece of work too. But, looking at the other reviews, I seem to be the only one who has noticed or feels this way, so maybe you should read the book for yourself and make up your own mind.
I will be following this series and look forward to seeing what happens in Book #2.
Happy Reading…

Thank you, Mavery Ellscott!

My rating: 3 of 5 stars

 

3 Stars

 

Murder in a Gated Community by Laura Koerber is a fun cozy mystery set in a retirement community. This is something a little different from Ms. Koerber, but I enjoyed following along on this entertaining read.
This is a short story, so it makes for a very quick and easy read. I easily read it during my lunch break.
I enjoyed Ms. Koerber’s dark humour which added an extra element of interest to the overall story. The idea of this gated community and the neighborhood ‘politics’, a cast of quirky characters, drama, friendships, and all their dynamics made this a really fun read.
I did feel that there were a few loose threads at the end that I would have liked to have seen ‘tied’ up- but perhaps Ms. Koerber is leaving things a bit ‘open’ to allow for more stories set in this retirement community. I will have to wait and see…
Anyway, Happy Reading…

Thank you, Laura Koerber!

High school senior Claire Jackson’s life shatters after an unplanned pregnancy.

Not hers, her mother’s.

With no father named on baby Harry’s birth certificate and their mother sinking into despair, Claire finds herself knee deep in diapers, streams of baby barf, and mountains of laundry. Not only does Harry rob Claire of her freedom, but also her future when her mother uses her college funds for day care.

Claire’s uncle offers to replenish the funds on the condition Harry is given up for adoption. With a troubled and unstable mother, Claire must take control and choose: trade Harry for money and return to her former life, or fight for him.

The stakes run high when a baby is involved, and the choices are complicated.

The Book of Hours (Coin/Hours Duology Book 2) Audiobook by Maria Elena Alonso-Sierra – Review by Charlisa Wahtomy-Alba

/0 Comments/in /by

Gabriela Martinez is a well known author that is about to put her book up for auction. People are willing to do anything to get their hand on her book. At least one person is willing to take her life. There are plenty of twists to keep you listening, or turning the pages if you are reading the book. A few times I felt like I was getting lost when things from the previous book were referenced, but I was able to piece things together without any issues. This was the first book I have ever picked up by this author. I will be going to read book one and I will definitely be checking out her other works.

3.5 Stars

 

The Silent Woodsman is the first book in The Olympic Peninsula series by Cat Treadgold. This appears to be Ms. Treadgold’s debut novel, so I will be keeping an eye out for more of her work in the future.
This is a sweet contemporary romance with a secret identity element, grief, loss, a wilderness rainforest, a might storm, a cozy cabin in the woods, chemistry, connection, and two truly unforgettable days.
Ms. Treadgold has crafted a touching story woven with plenty of emotion and enough angst and drama to keep things interesting. I did feel that the story was a little slow to get going and while the pace did pick up a bit it still tended to lag a bit in places, but then the ‘ending’ seemed to be rushed. I put this down to being a debut novel and it didn’t detract too much from my overall enjoyment of the story.
I am interested in seeing what the author has in store for us in ‘The Guardsman” (Book #2)- which is Ali’s twin brother Liam’s story.
Happy Reading…

Thank you, Cat Treadgold!

A Toast for Laurent is about a couple of kids (22 y/o) making a pact to marry each other if no neither of them are married by age 40.
Fast forward 20 years and sure enough Laurent is not married but he never expected Phoebe to waltz in and hold him to their silly pact.
This was a great story. Both have had their hearts broken in the past and as a result, are afraid to trust in the new love blooming. I would definitely recommend giving it a try.

4.5 Stars

 

Oathbreakers Anonymous by Scott Warren is a zany, madcap romp that had me hooked right from the beginning. It felt like a bit of a Terry Pratchett or Douglas Adams epic fantasy adventure with a D & D flavour.
This highly humorous and unique story highlights Mr. Warren’s superb storytelling abilities, as he deftly weaves a fantastical action-packed adventure that takes us on a quest for redemption with a motley crew of quirky characters. What happens makes for a very entertaining read that left me wanting more of this world (and characters), in the best possible way. I hope Mr. Warren has plans for more works set in this ‘world’. Looking forward to more from this talented author!
Happy Reading!

Thank you, Scott Warren!

Parisian IntrigueParisian Intrigue by Kimberly Mullins
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

When Emma, Jeremy, Dora and Tim receive a mysterious invitation to an all-expenses-paid FIVE WEEK trip to Paris during the 1889 Paris Exposition, what do they do? While Emma is definitely suspicious, they go for it! Who could resist such an opportunity, after all? They’ve had plenty of adventures, so far.

Along the way, everyone is busy with mysteries and drama. The world building, as always, is rich and beautiful. Fashion of the time is easily visualized and appreciated. The characters have continued to grow and blossom throughout the series, and the ways they’re influencing one another is natural and charming. Romance, (multiple) mysteries, adventures and innovation.

Keira is a PR representative with an obsessed stalker. She has reached out to the Montana police to protect her, but her predatory stalker outwits everyone. She needs help – both for protection and survival, as well as her state of mind.

Cade is a former Navy SEAL and current securities specialist, and luckily for Keira – he’s her new neighbor. Can he protect her while he hunts her stalker? Can he protect her while he wrestles their insane attraction for one another?

This mystery-from-the-start thriller offers chemistry, tension, humor, danger, passion, intrigue and action. Would never have guessed this was a new author – excellent!

This is an absolutely suspenseful romance that is 100% worth the read! I couldn’t put it down and read it in one sitting. The beginning is a little bit slow, but the overall flow of the story is still magnificent. Don’t let the slow start fool you as it will have you turning pages as quickly as you can shortly after. The love story of Gabriela and Richard is intense, passionate, and full of surprises! I don’t want to give an inkling of anything away (you’ll thank me later) therefore I will just give a strong recommendation to give this book a chance so you can fall in love with it too!

Goldilocks and the Six Simple Machines (Science Folktales #3)Goldilocks and the Six Simple Machines by Lois Wickstrom
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

To sum up simply I would say that this book is such a fun take on the story of Goldilocks and the 3 bears with added STEM elements. I love the creative way this wonderful author adds learning into her stories so that the readers take in valuable information but it doesn’t really feel like it at the time if that makes sense.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Ladies of the Links Book #2, was a good happy ending love story. it can be a read alone book. The love story between Christy and Ryan is a good story of a rekindling love and a happy ending after. Every page leaves you wanting more of the story. Highly recommend!
