Wow! Loving this one! It flows so nicely! I really sped right along and before I knew it I was half way through. I see how the author wrote the story so it goes along with the title but it does seem to slow down a bit as the female lead can’t seem to get past the lies. I did get a little tired of her actions during that time period she almost seemed mean towards him.
There are some good secondary characters that add some insight to these two main personalities. Very helpful to them and I liked the advice!
Overall this is a cute, fun story. I did enjoy many different things about this one. The job that she has is something that interests me. Bringing joy and completion to many people. Anyway I like the flow and how the author grabbed me and kept me entertained.

I enjoyed this book. The story had so many twists and turns that it kept me on the edge of my seat the whole time. Frank and Jon’s story is interesting and I found myself really excited to see how it would turn out. This author has created a vibrant and colorful world which I think many readers will enjoy. This is part of a series and I look forward to reading the next book.

E. Padgett – Review by Cindy Rushin
Fun & relatable rom-com This was an absolutely delight to read. Bella was so easy to connect with and don’t get me started on Joel – urgh! This the first I have read from this author and the writing is brilliantly executed as it draws the reader in and you just feel like you are right there. I am so happy to know that there is so much more to come and can’t wait to continue this series. Highly recommend!

Shadow is the Enforcer for the Devil’s Handmaidens MC and she is as badass as they come, but as a child, Zoey went through more suffering, abuse and pain than any child should and that is what brought her to where she is now, thanks to Maggie and her family taking her in and showing her what safety and family should look like, but all those experiences also made her into the icy hearted woman she is today. Panther is a Navajo Indian with look as dark as sin and muscles to boot, he is also a horse rancher and from the minute he saw Shadow, he knew he needed to know more about her, including why she was getting a full skull tattooed onto her face and looking like it was nothing, but fate would lead them apart for a while, but when they reconnect it is more business than pleasure.
To the outside, she has no fear and instead puts the fear of God into anyone who gets on her bad side, including the members of the MC which she founded with the Prez, the sisters who she now protects and their families with fierce passion, but when she sees Panther again, she is not ready for the emotions which would come along with it. It turns out that he has a similar mission to them and when the opportunity arises for her to help save some innocents from experiencing what she did, she is all in, however, what she doesn’t expects is how close to her past the mission really is, that is until it comes back around and the danger lurks around every corner.
As they work more closely together, Shadow cannot help but be drawn to Panther and his mysterious past which has created his present, it both calms, enrages, frustrates and illicit emotions she tried to bury to keep herself safe, but he is persistent and passionate, but more understanding that she believes she deserves and when things go south trying to help these innocent youths, she knows that she cannot hide any longer, but will she be able to take that leap of faith and find something good in the evil surrounding them, or will she be drawn into a darkness which she won’t be able to escape from? This is another great MC romance with one hell of a bite where lines blur and past, present and future collide to bring a journey which will leave your heart racing and stopping all at once as this actin packed, emotional rollercoaster plays out in front of you.

M. Earl- Review by Roxsanne Lesieur.
Maggie, or “Tink” as she is known is the President of the Devil’s Handmaidens MC and she takes pride in her position, but it isn’t easy trying to run an all female MC as well as legitimate businesses so that she can follow her passion and help those in need on the side, but she is not alone in her endeavours, she has the rest of the members and prospects at her side, as well as her parents and all the members of her fathers MC as well. Ellington is an ex Navy SEAL with a lot of baggage in his past, but he takes the opportunity to start afresh in the middle of nowhere in Montana where he helps a friend to set up a ranch, but what he doesn’t realise is that a feisty woman is about to enter his life and it will throw him off his game.
Maggie and Ellington have run into each other a few times and after a not so subtle push from her best friend, she gives him her phone number and they decide to see where it takes them and it soon becomes a little hot and heavy between them, but with all her responsibilities, Maggie is a little reluctant to let him in, but soon she doesn’t have a choice when she welcomes the latest group she is helping to her ranch settle in. One day, the firecracker that is Maggie rides into his life asking for some help, as security has been breached and trouble has come calling, so Ellington lets the others know and speeds to her and help, but what he finds when he gets there makes him realise just what Maggie does and he will do anything to help.
Maggie is shocked at what she finds and now has to deal with even more being piled on her plate and this time it is personal, ghosts from her past are coming back to haunt her and her family and she doesn’t know what to do, so she calls in for some help from her family and sisters in the MC and they all agree, even if they don’t know the whole story, but she knows she has to get it all out and the truth in some ways sets her free and in others brings everyone else into danger with her. What she doesn’t expect is Ellington being with her every step of the way and helping her sort out the mess from her past, but can he keep her sanity from unravelling and away from harm, or will he lose out on the one thing which is helping him with his demons as well? This is a fabulous MC romance full of spicy action, profanity and action, as well as badass women and how the bonds which go deeper than blood come together in this whirlwind of a suspenseful race against time.

M. Earl – Review by Roxsanne Lesieur.
Princess Isabel is the sister of the King of Portugal, they have been close throughout their lives while facing whatever came their families way, but the way they coped with all of that was complete opposites on the spectrum. The King became a lad about town, with a group of friends who were the scourge of the men folk on their area of the world, while Isabel went the way of modesty, fidelity and duty and tried to promote these values in her ladies in waiting as well. One day, she is summoned to see her brother where he tells her that he has received an invitation for Isabel to visit a relative in Spain for the summer and as much as she loved her cousin, she does not relish the idea of the company she keeps, so she politely declines, that is until her brother insists that it is more a diplomatic mission than a holiday and this is where duty wins out and Isabel reluctantly agrees.
Meanwhile, one of the Kings group of friends, Henrique, the Viscount of Panafiel, a scientist is about to embark on a journey to England to take a position at one of their top universities, but at the last minute, he is called upon to escort the Princess to Spain and watch over her and albeit he really does not want to go, he is won over by being the only one the King entrusts with the role, so he also reluctantly agrees. When the two meet at the carriages they are to travel in, the two realise that they have been misled by their nearest and dearest as to whom they will be accompanying and this just makes the journey even more unpredictable and in some ways uncomfortable for them both.
As the journey to Spain goes on, the two find themselves drawn to each other and opening up in ways they thought impossible and even though their personalities clash, they enjoy tormenting the other with sharp tongues and sharper wit, but as soon as they reach their hosts, thinks begin to heat up and each finds new experiences and challenges in the other. This however, was not to last when Prince Alfonso of Spain enters the picture and comes in between the two opinionated young aristocrats and this is where things become messy as it appears that the Princesses ideals and sense of duty are used in such a manner that anything which was blooming between her and her escort are threatened and Henrique will do anything to save his Princess and his country, but will he lose everything he is trying to save in the process? This is a historical fiction set in the Mediterranean where emotions run high and politics reign, in this royal romance where appearances can be deceiving and sifting the truth and the lies is almost impossible as you wonder who will triumph in the end.

Another Incredible book in this series, I am absolutely loving everything about these books. this book has it all, suspense, action, vengeance, love and so much more. This story had me on the edge of me seat wondering what was going to happen next, I felt like i wasn’t reading it fast enough. When Vixens past comes back in full force when everything comes around in a circle. This story was amazingly written and so filled with so much emotion that it was hard to not have feelings throughout this book. This book was incredible, and I highly recommend it. you can read these series in any order you want but once you read one you will want to read them all.
Bella and Joel have been married for twelve years. A marriage of comfort. Although the marriage was lacking in a few departments, Bella was in it for the long run. Joel had other ideas. He decided the spark was gone and went looking for it elsewhere.
At first Bella was devastated, 12 years wasted. As time goes on, Bella realizes she lost herself somewhere along the way. She changed who she was to appease the man she was with. Bella decides to find herself again. She starts hanging out with friends more, eating healthier and even practices flirting. Soon she will be ready to enter the dating scene once again.
This book is the beginning of Bella’s journey of finding Mr. Right. I decided to read it as something different from my usual choice and I am happy I did. It was like the author wrote about my life with my ex. There were quite a few parallels between my life and Bellas. I’m still trying to find myself again and that relationship ended years ago. I really enjoyed reading about Bella’s character growth and I love that she has a strong support system. I can’t wait to continue Bella’s journey in book number two coming out in October! By the way things ended in this book, I am expecting some steam in the next installment!

Wilde – Review by Santana Hicks
This is the third in the Winemakers series, this time following the story of Princess Isabel and Viscount Henrique. You don’t necessarily need to read this series to understand the individual stories, but I would certainly recommend reading all of them. I enjoy the writing style of the author, it flows nicely making for easy reading, but is also descriptive enough to allow you to step into the story living it alongside the characters. The era was clearly researched adding to the realism and enjoyment of the story. I enjoyed the characters; well written and believable I was rooting for their success at every turn, especially given the pair’s increasing chemistry. Isabel is a ‘proper’ young princess with a strong moral compass determined to do her duty. She is determined to do what’s right. She came out of her sheltered upbringing quickly and coped with the challenges she faced with strength and determination which I admired. There was something about Henrique which I found particularly charming, and I thoroughly enjoyed that there was more to him than meets the eye. I look forward to discovering more from this author!

This is the first book in the Winemakers series. It’s a historical romance which is one of my favourite genres and I was not disappointed. I enjoyed the way the author wrote this; it was descriptive enough to transport you to Portugal of the past and easy to follow. Research into the era and backdrop of the story was evident but did not feel like I was reading a research paper, it added realism to the story presented. The characters were great – believable and engaging I was rooting for them beginning to end. Julia and Griffin’s interactions were entertaining from their first meeting and the chemistry grew from there. Julia was written as a strong, capable and independent woman. Her determination and love for her family and her craft is clear as day and I admired her drive and resilience. I can’t wait to read the rest of the series!

This is a fantastic addition to an already incredible series. This book is dark and intense and gripping, just like the previous ones in the series. I was hooked the instant I started reading and could not put the book down until I had finished it. I loved the characters in this book. Their connection, their history. They made the book even more captivating than it was. This author is one that has so quickly become a favourite. Every single book I have read has been incredible and I don’t hesitate to pick up something with their name attached. This is a fantastic book and I am already looking forward to when I can get my hands on the next one.
What a fun and unique this series this is going to be, especially if the rest of the series is as good as this book. It is the first in a new series of novellas about a woman who is discovering herself after getting a divorce. The premise of this book hit really close to home for me and I think because of that I connected with the character even more. You can tell, even from this first book, that her journey is going to be entertaining and enlightening. I cannot wait to see how things play out for her. This book is the first that I have read by this author and I can already tell I am going to be a fan. The writing style made the book come alive and I was pulled into it so easily. I enjoyed this book from start to finish and cannot wait to read the next book.

I had not read the first in series but I wish I had. The book is well written and will captivate all audiences though it is aimed towards 9-12 year olds. This story has so much imagination and the words will bring you so much imagery that you feel like you are in the story. I plan to go back and read the first one and then this one again. Great story!

E. Padgett – Review by Tonya Merritt
Vixen is Book Four in The Devil’s Handmaidens MC: Timber-Ghost Montana Chapter series. Each book in the series builds on the one prior to it while introducing new characters and telling their story. The characters overlap in each book, so I do recommend reading the previous books in the series first. Plus, the series is amazing so I feel they are a must read. This book centers around the character of Mira, or Vixen as she is now called, who has received a call from a girl from her past asking for her help. The girl was left behind after Vixen managed to free herself from a human trafficking ring years ago. Vixen was one of many women who was viciously abused, exploited, and assaulted by a man named Juice. Juice is vicious, cruel, and will take what he wants. When the women in his trafficking ring became pregnant, he took their babies and sold them. Mira/Vixen is one of many women who has no idea where her baby is at or what happened. Vixen now must decide what to do and how to protect herself and her friend while freeing her from Juice’s sex trafficking ring. Her Devil’s Handmaidens have her back, and so do some unlikely others, one of which she never thought she would see again.
Enter Lucas, or Ironside, as he is referred to, who is an undercover FBI Agent. He helped to free Vixen from Juice’s trafficking ring. Ironside and Vixen had a brief relationship until he suddenly ghosted her and broke her heart. Now he has reentered her world and Vixen is uncertain if she can trust him. She must decide if she can forgive him and accept his help. Ironside has his reasons for disappearing and did so to protect Vixen, but he must try to get her to understand that. He is back now and is determined to protect the woman he loves at all costs. Vixen soon learns that there is far more to the story than she ever imagined. Now it is up to them and their friends to save all the women in Juice’s sex trafficking ring.
This is yet another amazing book by this talented author. I love this series and all the strong, fierce, kick-butt women in the Devil’s Handmaidens. Each woman has overcome a traumatic past and risen from the ashes to become a force to be reckoned with. Mira/Vixen is no exception to that. She was swept off her feet by Juice as he lured her into his world. When he tried making her do things, she did not want to do he viciously assaulted her until she obeyed him. Having freed herself from that part of her past she thought that she could leave it behind. She now must prove how strong she really is as her life comes full circle and she comes face-to-face with her past. This book had action, drama, suspense, danger, lust, passion, and chemistry. It also contains things that may be triggers for some with the sensitive topics of abuse, assault, and human trafficking. I highly recommend this book!

Mr. Wimp is the first novella in The Human Mating Site Series. The story centers around the character of Bella who suddenly finds herself single after a twelve-year relationship with her husband. As she comes to terms with her newfound freedom, she soon realizes that she lost a lot of herself in the relationship. With the help of a few close friends Bella starts to enjoy the single life and learns a lot about who she is and what she wants. She realizes that her sex life was less than enthusiastic and sets out to explore her sexuality. This is the beginning of her journey and I anxiously await the next novella to see what Bella is up to next.
I enjoyed this novella and found it to be a quick read with an interesting storyline that I felt many women could relate to. I felt an immediate connection to the character of Bella because she was smart, strong, and feisty but at the same time had low self-esteem. She held back on a lot of things because she lacked the confidence to come out of her own shell. I look forward to seeing Bella grow as a character in her farther adventures. I loved that the book was not all serious and emotional, but that Bella and her friends approached the topic of being single with a sense of grace and humor. I felt the novella had a bit of a personal diary type of a feel which made it feel more personal to read from her POV. The only thing that I would think might possibly add to the story would be divisions between events, not like a chapter but perhaps as a diary entry with a date as the chapter heading. Each entry in Bella’s ‘diary’ would give the reader insight into her journey as though reading from her ‘diary’. I am not sure if that makes sense and is only my personal opinion. Bring on novella number two!

Wilde – Review by Tanya Wall, September 2023
What a great start to a series that I know I will enjoy. This is book 1 a novella to get you started and there will be much more to come. Bella’s marriage is over after 12 years. After getting over the heartbreak she soon discovers what she was missing. I was so pleased she did not carry on with The Woe Is Me pity party. Instead she called her true friends and they were able to help her work through this. Can Bella move past this? Will she get back herself and move on? Mr. Wimp is forever gone and Hello Mr. Right. I love that Bella is independent and doesn’t not need a man to carry her. She can do just fine, after all she has some great friends. The story does not stop there. The author made this a fun story to read. It was quick and a true page turner. It did not drag on and on about the failing marriage. The women are strong and independent and can move on. Not to say it was easy, but it happened just the same. I am looking forward to book 2 as I know the series will just get more interesting as the stories continue.

I’ve read Magic-Price and The Crown of Stones series, but I wanted to listen to it because I love this series! The audio book did not disappoint. The narrator for Ian Troy brought Magic-Price into a whole new light. I loved getting to re-meet all my favorite characters.
I highly recommend reading Magic-Price if you love epic high fantasy. The main character is not perfect and is trying to atone for his prior sins. There is magic, love, friendship, and forgiveness.

L. Schneider – Review by Callie Luna
For some reason, I have been on a real “piratey” kick lately (so much so that the little one has decided, on her own, to be a pirate for Halloween). Suffice it to say that this young adult, swashbuckling tale hit the spot! Having read this author before, I knew that I was destined to love the vibrant characters and immersing details and definitely was not disappointed! Camden and Annie take turns telling their story, and it did not take long for me to sink right into both of their worlds. There is so much action, adventure, twists, and turns that anyone can appreciate this book. You don’t have to be a young adult or even much into pirates to enjoy yourself with this. After you inhale this book, you are definitely going to want to go check out the author’s other work – I guarantee it.

So, after reading both books in this series Cruel, I learned how it is hard to be a teenager in high school and all you want to do is be free. But Isla Vaughn made The High School into a spicy novella that I love so much how each character goes through a lot to be part of something but then falls in love with their enemies. In these two books, Cruel Start and Hate these two main characters make a huge change in their lives just to have others off their backs. Starting with a girl Phoenix who puts her past behind her and carries on with her pregnancy to find out that she sees her past in front of her. While Aspen a football player has to make a hard choice in life just for his teams to lay off of him. Crazy moments for both of them.
Ever since I read the first book from Isla Vaughn, I fell in love with her series. Each series has a different story and each character has a life struggle that leads to love or enemies. In this story, they have to fake their relationship just because both sides have people who keep on insisting that they be together. But in the end was a crazy moment for both of them. They end up liking each other and things don’t become any better for them. The Hidden Valley Series is a must to read. I have a series of books on my wishlist. I love all the books.

Mr Wimp: A Steamy, Dating Humour Novella is the first novella in The Human Mating Site. This will be a series of 13 novellas with stories from The Human Mating Site. Bella is divorcing after 12 years of marriage and diving back into the dating pool. The story is a quick, enjoyable read. It is relatable, funny, and more. Dating is difficult, especially after a long break, and Bella’s story deals with this difficulty. There are some steamy bits intermingled with the humor. This is a fast read, but completely worth the time. I really enjoyed the story and the break from reality. I look forward to grabbing more in this series. I think this will be a fun series to read.

Wilde – Review by Sheri Schrader
What a cute book. I loved reading the start of Bella’s story. This was totally entertaining. Joel is what some of us call a “putz.” She’s definitely better off without him. It’s gonna hurt but she’s seeing that she is better without him. I really can’t wait to read more in the story. It’s a short read and quite enjoyable. Absolutely found the writing to be engaging and had you feeling that she could be one of your friends. Bella is character very easy to relate to to. Can’t wait for the next installment.

This is the 4th book in the Devil’s Handmaidens MC, Timber-Ghost Montana chapter and OMG this author knows how to write a story that grips you and doesn’t let go. These books can be read as a standalone however once you read one you will want to read more. All these MC romance stories focus on beautiful but broken women and while the steamy scenes are hot and intimate it is the author’s writing and development of the women that really bring these stories to life and make them captivating. The sister this book focuses on is Vixen. Vixen has had a really traumatic start to life. She was part of the trafficking ring where she was used and abused. She found herself becoming an addict and being used for prostitution, but it gets worse when she falls pregnant, her baby is taken away from her and she doesnt know what has happened to it There is not a day that goes by when she doesn’t think about her baby.While she was in that situation she meets Lucas ‘Ironsides’ Dombranski. As she starts to trust him and believes he is her way to safety he leaves her without a word.
Fast forward 5 years later and Vixen is now part of the MC, a friend from her past contacts her needing help and a way out. Vixen knows what she is going through and wants to help but will she be able to cope with going back into a situation that almost killed her before? To make matters worse the MC calls the one person Vixen doesn’t want to see in to help her. When Lucas walks back into her life, after he abandoned Vixen she doesn’t know if she can trust him and all the hurt she buried comes to the surface, however there was a reason for his disappearance that Vixen wasn’t aware of. I can completely understand her feelings of betrayal and hurt when Lucas leaves her to the mercy of her abusive captors.
Now they need to work together to rescue the women who need help. But with the danger of Vixen’s captor lurking in the background wanting to destroy her once and for all, Lucas puts himself forward to protect the woman he loved. What happens as they work together to save the other women? Can the bridges be rebuild between them? Can Vixen ever forgive him for abandoning her all those years ago?
This story is a dark, gripping and extremely emotional read which is just what i expect from this author. The romance is steamy and intense which is a perfect fit for these women, they love as hard as they fight to protect. There are definately triggers in this book for some readers which they need to be aware of. I have to say Vixen is definately one of my favourite characters. Even after everything she has gone through and how destroyed she was, the fact that she has come back and build herself stronger and the fact she is ready to put herself back into the situation that nearly destroyed her to save others really made me love her all the more. This is another great addition to this series. This author never fails to impress me and leaves me wanting more.
This is the first book in The Human Mating Site series where we follow Bella. It was a quick read and I loved it. In this part of the story we meet Bella and Joel who have been together and married for years. Even though there is no passion or spark they have carried on after all after so many years together not having a spark is normal right? They carry on like this until the day Joel throws a bomb into the relationship and tells Bella he wants to end their marriage. Bella is heartbroken and as things begin to come to light that pain and heartbreak turns to anger. When she is free she realises how much of herself she lost by being with Joel, over the years he has brought her down and made her lose sight of who she is. Is this story is called Mr Wimp and omg Joel is definately that. At points I was screaming at him to grow and pair and tell the truth but his refusal to do that only showed Bella even more how much of a favour he was doing her by ending things. I loved Bella’s character and her growth in this first story was unreal and inspiring as with the help of her friends she slowly starts to find herself again. I can’t wait to read about the next stages in Bella’s life.

After reading the Mother’s Threat all i can say is wow. Susan did a great job writing this book. I truly can’t wait to read more of her work. The details in the book was amazing. I loved the cover photo. The characters and world building was on point. The Mother’s Threat had a lot of twists in it. I didn’t know what to expect next.
It’s that hot guy meets girl next door story. But it comes with plot twists. This book was fun to read and I look forward to reading the next one! Can’t wait to hear what happens next!
