My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Mina and Wes, the two protagonists, have different backgrounds but grow and mature together at a prestigious high school. Like most teenagers, you either want to slap them or love on them throughout the story.

One thing I liked about the book was the problems Mina and Wes encounter, for the most part, typical of teenagers. with the exception of Wes being in foster care. I liked this because it is more relatable to both adult readers and teens alike.

One thing I didn’t like about the novel was the middle kind of dragged on- the book had a strong beginning, weak middle, and decent end. I would definitely try to read more books by either author.

Sleeping with the Enemy (Astoria Royals Book 3) by Deborah Garland – Review by Kerry Carr

Sleeping with the Enemy (Astoria Royals, #3)Sleeping with the Enemy by Deborah Garland
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I really enjoyed this book. My 2 favourite things are Mafia danger and dangerous passionate romance and this book has it in spade. It is book 3 in the Astoria Royals series and even though it can be read as a standalone I will definately be going back to read the first 2 books in the series.
As you would expect with a Mafia Romance there is danger, enemies, forced marriage, with a possessive dominant male. There are a couple of themes which some readers may get triggered by so it is definately for a mature reader.
Riordan is an underboss who has worked hard to keep his reputation. He is feared by many people and enemy of many more. Years ago a girl he had feelings for was attacked by 3 members of the Russian Mafia. He took care of the men but lost the women he had feelings for. She left and he didn’t know what had happened to her.
Fast forward and they meet again when she is a sub to the Russian Mafia. The same group of people that harmed her all those years before. Riordan is immediately attracted to her and when she warns him and takes a bullet to protect him he wonders what game is she playing. She is an enemy so how can she be trusted.
When he realises who she is exactly Riordan is determined not to lose her again and do whatever it takes to protect her.
Priscilla however isn’t the same women he knew all those years ago and when secrets are reveled about how she actually is now Riordan becomes only too aware of how much of an enemy she is to the family. But as the saying goes. Keep your friends close but your enemies closer and that is exactly what Riordan plans to do.
This plan is great in theory but what happens when he true feelings for Priscilla comes to light and he starts to fall for her. After all this time is the girl that fell for him years before still there or is the strong determined woman going to end up destroying herself and him on her path for revenge.
This was an amazing read. I loved that it was told from the view of both main characters as it gave the story more depth. If you like Mafia romances that keeps the pages turning then i definately recommend this book.

Cruel King by K.M. Scott – Review by Lisa Helmick

Cruel KingCruel King by K.M. Scott
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

MAN this guy is tough to take! He is exactly what the title says….Cruel! He made me so mad sometimes with his actions but mostly his words. He surely has a lot of room to grow. The female lead is a kind and forgiving soul..until she is pushed one time too far by him. Then we see another side of both of them.

Was I shocked a time or two in here? Yes but mostly to the extreme someone would go to to push another away.

Did I love the characters? Not a lot. The author does a good job of making these characters extreme and sometimes you can love them and others they are hard to like. I did feel sorry for the male lead a teacher me or two as he tries to figure out his life.

I look forward to seeing where this author can go from here with this family.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Leaving No Traces (A Commissario Scala Mystery in Rome) by P.J. Mann. I love this series and this book was no exception. Its a wonderful, exciting crime drama. Its the continuing story of Jack Scala who is investigating a woman having a affair with 2 different men. Simona has been warned to end the relationship and she was trying but apparently they warned her to end the wrong one. She ends up getting kidnapped. When her car turns up there are lies upon lies discovered. This book goes to show you, you never really know someone even when you are married to them. When there is not one but two murders Scala knows he must step up his investigation and find Simona so he can find out what is really going on before more bodies stack up. You can read this as a standalone but I have loved every book in this series.

The first book in The Crowned Heart series and it is a forbidden romance with mysteries to solve and lots of chemistry. Fyn and Bridget make a great couple and the author writes the story in such a way that had me vested in their success. A fantastic story that will appeal to a wide audience. Highly recommend.

Leaving No Traces (Commissario Scala #5)Leaving No Traces by P. J. Mann
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

While Leaving No Traces is book five in the Commissario Scala Mystery in Rome series, it is a stand alone book and you do not need to read the previous books to understand the story. I do recommend reading them, to follow character development and better understand the history of Detective Scala (but again, that is not needed). This time around, Detective Scala is investigating a woman who was having an affair with a married man (while she was also married) and has gone missing. The woman was last seen buying cigarettes at a gas station and all that was left behind was her blood stained car. As the detective digs into the case, he soon realizes there was more to the woman than he originally thought, and more suspects began to surface. Was she trapped in a bad marriage and escaping into another relationship, or did the husband have something to do with it all? Where did she go, and who is to blame? Leave it all to Detective Scala to solve the mystery, but not without many twists and turns along the way!

It took some time for me to into the story line, to be honest. I felt very lost which is weird because it’s a murder mystery and it shouldn’t be making me feel that way. While I enjoyed characters like Commissionari Scalia, Esposito, and Milani, I think there needs to be new detectives maybe. Don’t get me wrong, the current line up is good I think we could have more, maybe more forensics as well. Overall, the book was good read but left me hanging.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

More than just a paranormal romance
The third book in the Protector Wolf Shifter series has Tamaska fending for herself as Kodiak has been captured by the vamps. To survive, Tamaska need to face her fears and risk possible death. There is so much within this book to love but it is better enjoyed as a part of the series as there is a continuing storyline. If you love shifters, vamps, suspense, fantasy, romance and action, this series will not disappoint. Looking forward to book 4. Highly recommend.

The Guardsman (The Olympic Peninsula series Book 2)The Guardsman by Cat Treadgold
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The Guardsman is the second book and heartfelt tale in the The Olympic Peninsula series by Cat. This book follows on from the Woodsman where we met Ali and JJ. Just as the first book was it is an interesting story that will have you falling in love with our MC’s.
Cat’s vivid storytelling brings to life the story of a man whose world literally blown apart. Liam Ryan has been lost and is broken but he is trying to put his life back together again with the help of his sister.
He struggles with his new world and hopes to find what it is that may make him whole again. It certainly isn’t the society princess that he comes face to face with.
With frustrations, sometimes hopelessness, hopes and passion sparks fly in this romantic tale.
Teresa has had her fair share of troubles and isn’t what everyone thinks she is. Looking for a place to lay low she finds more than she was bargaining for.

This well-written romance tale should be a must on your reading list.

I cannot wait to see what Cat brings next in the series.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

3.5 stars
A Forever Kind of Thing by Carrie Thomas & Melinda Harris is a YA, NA romance tale. This is the first book that I have read by either of these authors and I wasn’t sure it was something that I wanted to read. It took me a bit to get into the story. High school stories do that, but I wanted to give this story a go.
Being from the wrong side of the tracks she was the target of bullies, intimidation, cruelty that many find themselves in at school. Now she is the one others envy but behind it all is a broken girl with hidden secrets. That is until he walks back into the picture.
There is sadness, betrayal, pain, hurt, angst, tension, heartbreak, heartache, hope, shame and a whole other rollercoaster of emotions that our MC goes through in this story.
It was hard not to feel for our MC and the tumultuous life that she endured. Kids can and are cruel at times. There were times that I just wanted to hug her and later on there were times when I wanted to smack some sense into her.
If you love a rocky road to love YA/NA story, then you will like A Forever Kind of Thing.

My entire life is my music—and all the trappings that come with it. Sex, booze, and rock ’n’ roll is all I ever wanted. Touring the world as the lead singer of Balefire, I have it all. Until on hiatus, I meet the girl next door.

Ashleigh Baker is nothing like the groupies and celebrities who usually have all my attention. In her cute floppy hat with her knees stained with dirt, she spends her days creating a flowering show piece from her rented yard. She’s the most gorgeous woman I’ve ever met, and she acts like she doesn’t want a damn thing to do with me. But from the moment I laid eyes on her, she’s all I can think about.

Ashleigh

Growing up the only child of an Air Force Colonel, all I wanted was to stay in one place for more than a minute. When I score a pretty little house with a long-term lease, I just want to grow my flowers and my freelancing gig as a music reviewer. Then a loud Harley wakes me from a sound sleep and I discover my neighbor is Blu Connolly. Yeah, that Blu Connolly, lead singer for my favorite band Balefire. With his killer good looks and panty-melting voice, he’s a walking temptation to sin. Though I do my best to avoid him, it seems Blu has other ideas. He’s on a mission to wear me down, let him in, but what happens when he stops wanting to sing for me?

Growing up on the proverbial “wrong side of the tracks” gave me a long list of bullies and a short list of friends. I spent most of my childhood days thinking of creative ways to escape the dirty pit that was Palmer, Georgia, until a new kid showed up on the first day of fifth grade and gave me every reason to stay.

But as my rotten luck would have it, he disappeared two years later without a word, leaving me with a million unanswered questions and an irreparable hole in my thirteen year-old heart.

Fast forward to five years post-betrayal, and I’ve gone from Palmer trailer park to Atlanta mansion, secondhand clothes to straight off the runway, and bullies now kiss the ground beneath my Gucci-covered feet.

Reigning supreme at my new prestigious high school, I was counting down the days until graduation when the keeper of all my secrets walked back into my life and threatened to knock this queen right off her throne. What he doesn’t know is that I’ll gladly retire my crown. All he has to do is promise me forever.

Rogue Wolf (Protector Wolf Shifter Series Book 3)Rogue Wolf by Lilliana Rose
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

 

4.5 Stars

 

Rogue Wolf is the third instalment in the Protector Wolf Shifter Series by Lilliana Rose It is a wonderfully woven protector turned lover urban fantasy with paranormal romance, shifters (wolves), vampires, action, adventure, danger, dramatic developments, chemistry, tension, mystery, emotion, politics, high stakes, agendas, suspense, the supernatural, threats, abduction, and much more.

Each book in this series follows on from one another, so I highly recommend reading the first two books before starting on this instalment so you have all the important details on board that will help you fully appreciate this book, as well as the series as a whole.
Kodiak has sworn to protect Tamaska at all cost, but what happens to her if he’s not there to do so? Now Tamaska is on a mission to rescue Kodiak who has been captured by the vampires. But to do so means she will need to take drastic action- and will need to find someone willing to ‘turn’ her- but there is no guarantee she will survive the transformation. Yelp, you guessed it- things are about to get dangerously complicated. Buckle up for an intriguing read.
Excitedly awaiting ‘Cursed Wolf’ (Book #4)!
Happy Reading…

Thank you, Lilliana Rose!

Royally Complicated (The Crowned Hearts Series Book #1) by Gwyn McNamee and Christy Anderson – Review by Angela Hayes

Royally ComplicatedRoyally Complicated by Gwyn McNamee
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

OMG these two have done it again!!! I absolutely love these two authors individually- but put them together and magic happens!!!
With the upcoming release of the second book in this series, I thought I would do a re-read of this one in anticipation of Book #2. I adored this book the first time around and love it just as much this time.
Royally Complicated is the first book in The Crowned Hearts series by the talented duo of Gwyn McNamee and Christy Anderson. It is a sublime forbidden romance with a secret identity, a bad boy prince, a holiday fling, electric chemistry, plenty of hot sizzling encounters, a little suspense, a splash of angst, emotion, and more.
This is Fyn and Bridget’s story- she’s on a holiday with her best friend, a holiday that should have been her honeymoon, that’s if she hadn’t found her fiancé cheated. A holiday fling is just what she needs to get her ex out of her system. He’s the sexy surfer that snares her attention. But there’s more to him than first meets the eye. What happens when secrets are revealed? You really should read all the entertaining details for yourself- you are bound to love their as much as I have.
At this rate, I am going to have to add another wing to my fantasy book boyfriend mansion as I keep having to add more ‘residents’ to it, especially considering every one of Ms. McNamee and Ms. Anderson’s heroes (both individually and collaboratively) have been moved into my BBF Mansion, all because they are so delicious that I can’t help but want to ‘keep’ Every. Single. One. Of. them.
Now I can’t wait to devour Russian and Royally Complicated (Book #2)- the countdown has started, a couple more sleeps and it will be here!!!!
Happy Reading…

Thank you, Gwyn McNamee and Christy Anderson!

Marked Wolf (Protector Wolf Shifter Series Book 2)Marked Wolf by Lilliana Rose
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Marked Wolf by Lilliana Rose is the second book in her Protector Wolf Shifter Series. It is the continuation of the love story between Tamaska and Kodiak. This book starts EXACTLY where the last book stops and, I must say, I love that. No flashback or skimpy version – just keeps going!

The odds are greater and the way more muddled for our main characters. This book answers some of the lingering questions of the first book left. I expect it will wrap up in the last book nicely. Definitely needs to be read in order and still includes some steam. If you like an urban based supernatural book then it will be a hit!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Nyman had me hooked from the very first chapter! I flew through this book trying to figure out what was going to happen with this adorable little guy, Harry. Taking on the challenge of not only trying to raise a child, but also become her own mother’s guardian while also trying to make it through the final year of school to make sure that her brother is safe and loved is the most pure form of love. I was shocked when I finally got to learn a little more about Harry’s father: it was such a surprising twist!

Softest TouchSoftest Touch by Adina D. Grey
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This was a great 5 star read. If you like billionaire romance/forbidden romance you will enjoy this one. Melinda and Dereks story pulled me right in. Melinda is hired as Derek’s assistant, at first he isn’t quite sure she will work and she is not thrilled to be working for him. As they work together and get to know each other sparks start to fly. Of course life throws them a few curveballs to add a great element to the story. All of the characters also added a great element to the story. Will these two get a HEA? The author does a great job with her writing and I can’t wait to read more from her. 1-click and get started today.

Back to the 80s by S.E. Reichert and Kerrie Flanagan – Review by Lorralei Hoerner

Back to the 80'sBack to the 80’s by S.E. Reichert
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

5 Stars 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

I LOVED every page of this book. I grew up in the 80’s and can I say I love how the authors brought me back to simpler times of neon colors, aquanet, Journey and brat pack movies. This is a very enjoyable a bit of enemies to lovers rom-com with some drama, laugh out loud moments and so much nostalgia. I very highly recommend this book, espeically to anyone who loved growing up in the 80s.

Blaine Reynolds wants to keep her mother’s legacy and honor her by having her shop “Back to the 80s” remain open, even when the threat of tearing down the mall where the shop is located at to build a new brewery and behind it all is Morales Construction. Blaine fights hard to keep her shop afloat, but with the likes of Eric Morales, hoping that a bet of 30 days, he may change his mind. What Blaine did not expect was the more she got to know Eric personally, her walls came down and saw so much more to him than just his need to tear down the mall for a new business.

Eric Morales wants to make his father proud and make partner at his family Morales Construction Company by closing a deal to tear down a local mall to make a new business venture. What Eric does not expect is to lose to a bet with Blaine to try and fight and keep her nostalgic shop. Eric is all work and no play, but once he gets to know Blaine on a deeper level…..feelings come into play, his attraction to Blaine becomes undeniable.

Will Eric and Blaine be able to see eye to eye on a decision that may impact them both on different levels?

I loved this story so much and this was such a fun book book to read. I felt like I was back in time growing up and reminiscing the good times that the 80s brought.

Fortune’s Favorite (Soulbound Journeys Book 2) by C. L. Schneider – Review by Lucy Machard

Fortune's Favorite (Soulbound Journeys #2)Fortune’s Favorite by C.L. Schneider
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book had me on the edge of my seat for a majority of it. A good writer’s tip I’ve heard is “Make the leader learn something new every paragraph.” This author is a PRO at it feeling like there’s something new at almost every single sentence. The book flows so well, and the plot is amazing. I’m definitely going to be reading the rest of their books. From other reviews and researching I’ve done on the author and their books, I do believe the reading order is to start with Cursed Stones, and then move on to this series. Another great book, and a recommendation I’ll be passing on to my friends and family!
