My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Riley and Cole share ONE kiss, but it is enough for both of them to know they want more. This is a high school bully romance starter. It shows you the dynamics of Riley and her mom as well as with Cole, his brother and their parents. It shows that no matter what background you come from, all families have issues. This prequel has drawn me in and I will be reading the series.

I love this series so much! This was such a great addition and we get Millers story this time. This can be read as a standalone but you’ll want to go back if you start with this one as you’ll fall in love with everyone. I have so much to say but I also don’t want to ruin the story in anyway so I will just say this is a must read book!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I am completely hooked on this series. It just keeps getting better and better. I can’t believe we are 9 books in and there is still one more to go!! Bring it on I say!! If you haven’t read the other books of the series you could still read this book and I am sure you would love it BUT the experience is definitely enhanced by having the background knowledge from the other books of the series so just do yourself a huge favour and dive into the series right from the start. I don’t want to give too much away in terms of the storyline so I will just say that Catinas powerful visions will end up being key in helping Master Botosoni and the other masters track down the rouges and shifters etc and make steps towards finally bringing them down. I really loved Master B and Catina….Now bring on book 10!

This collection of stories is a fun and entertaining read. As Bella deals with the pain of her breakup she soon finds that she has a decision to make, will she let the pain and heartache consume her or will she take her future into her own hands? Each new man gives Bella a new adventure. It was nice to see Bella begin to grow and find herself as she goes through each relationship. I like that Bella is a strong woman who is trying to take back her life. Bella goes through a lot of different emotions with these men as she returns to the dating scene. These novellas move at a good pace and I was pulled into each new journey that Bella takes. The author does a nice jo of giving Bella new experience with each new man and I wonder what will find Bella next.

This is my first time reading this author’s work and I was not disappointed. The storyline draws you in but all of the twists and turns make this book hard to put down.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

You had me at Faelands! I love reading fantasy fiction books. I found this one is part of a series, Faelands Series, and was immediately on board. I am new to the author and after finishing this fantastic book, I am a fan!

First off, the cover art is eye-catching and I think it works perfectly for this story. Secondly, the main character is a female named Lannahi who grows into her own and I feel is a real badass, so this checked off another item found on my favorite things to see in a fantasy fiction book.

I really enjoyed how the story began with a bit of drama leading up to the day Lannahi was dreading. I seriously felt as if her character has a good steady head on her shoulders, even if her lack of experience in most things has caused her to be a bit naive, which is understandable and relatable.

The author also did a fabulous job working on some of the other characters, including those that only played a small part. I felt as if you were getting to know them as real individuals, which helped you determine on your own if you liked or disliked them. I always love to see if an author can write such good deep content that you honestly hate some of the situations and characters in a story, just like in this book.

Overall, I think this book was well written, had a good pace and left things in a way that could continue this series for the long haul. I cannot wait to read more from this gifted author. I give this 4 out of 5 stars.

This box set was so fun to read! The way the book was organized was really interesting! Each new book is basically a new chapter, and each chapter has breaks between different days and events. I loved how the main character’s story starts off with her getting betrayed, as many women understand, and then continues with her exploring the world of “dating” without commitment. Dating for fun. The book titles are hilarious too and really fit each man’s ego and personality. This is definitely a fun read and I would recommend it to anybody out there who loves a comeback story, romance, and spicy scenes.

Loved this story! Fantastic setup of the world! The book actually starts with a list of the rules this society goes by. In the rules, they talk about how to conquer land and the consequences if you fail in your attempt. Of course, in a perfect society, all of the rules are followed without any shenanigans. However, that’s not always how things turn out. A beautiful world created for an amazing main character to fight the norms and make herself and her way known to all. Read this book if you love strong women who fight for the right to be equal with everyone else. She’s strong, she’s determined, and she’s only trusting when she needs to be.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

 

4.5 Stars

 

Portrait of Deception is the second book in the Southwest Suspense series by Kathryn Dodson. It is another suspenseful thriller with mystery, tension, danger, secrets & lies, agendas, well-developed interesting characters, action, adventure, and gripping developments.
Margo’s world comes crashing down, and her dreams crumble after she is drugged while in Italy. Her hopes of winning a life-changing competition are completely crushed when she wakes to find her hotel room has been trashed, leaving her with a reparation bill in the many tens-of-thousands- money she just doesn’t have…… AND she’s been ousted from the competition, with nowhere to go. She’s left with no choice but to take on a job she really didn’t want to even consider- one that will see her in close-quarters with a dangerous dictator.
So get set- things are about to take a dangerous turn. Will Margo manage to survive her ordeal? What secrets will she uncover? This story is well-worth the read to find out.
This is definitely my favourite of Ms. Dodson’s books, so far- and I can’t wait to see what she does next.
Happy Reading!

Thank you, Kathryn Dodson!

There are 10 chapters in this novel and is part of the Hidden Valley series. The heat that starts between Riley and Cole is an interesting prequel. Even though there’s 10 chapters, each one is packed with backstory and heat for an enemies to lovers romance novella. This prequel introduces and makes you fully understand the anger in the first official book in this series. It started with a kiss. This was an exciting look into what makes the bully in the series!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The next book in one of my favorite series is here. One can’t go wrong with The Masters of the Consulate Series. But be warned if you haven’t started with book 1, Master njDescallia you really need to start there to work your way to this one. Master Botosoni is the next master to drop in the series. Meaning to find his mate, when he wasn’t looking for her.
This book is a dark romance along with the continuing battle that has stretched across all books. The rogues want the Masters disbanded, and even more so Master Descallia and his mate Lucianna gone. Now that the rogues have crossed into Master Botosoni’s territory, it’s time for him to get involved as well as take point on the mission to stop them. However in the quest it takes him into a coffee shop to a psychic who is destined to change his life.
Catina is trying to get by, despite how her family views and treats her. Never is her wildest dreams did she expect to catch the eye of Master Botosoni. Unfortunately it could ruin everything for her with her family, especially now that her psychic ability has thrown her in the middle of an upcoming war.
Will they last?
How are things looking with the war coming?
So many questions and answers, that I don’t know if they would be enough to satisfy you or not. I’m satisfied though since it ended. However for me I love it all and can’t wait for the next book to come out.
What are you waiting for? Check it out!!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Song of Earth and Claws did start a little slow, it took me a short while to get the gist of what it was about, but the build-up of information was key to understanding the story. As I continued to read along, the book started picking up the pace, and by the time I was a quarter of the way in, I couldn’t stop reading. I needed to continue to read on, I was so invested in the characters and what was going to happen to them. Lannahi was an amazing choice for the heroine of this book, and the romance between her and Ashared was something I had been hoping for right from their first meeting! I felt so bad for Lannahi in the way that everyone treated her throughout the story, she had to fight for everything in life, being looked past as weak due to her love of singing and the arts. Boy, was I impressed by the end of the book, she turns out to be everything that I had hoped for and more. I loved the thrill of this read so much, the different types of characters in the book were a refreshing take on mythical creatures. The dramatic battles and the rules of the kingdoms were a lot to learn in the beginning, but once I got into the book, I completely understood the need for all the logistics to follow along with the storyline. I am so glad that I kept on reading because otherwise, I would have missed out on a fantastic book. I hope that there will be more books with these characters, I am so invested in hearing more adventures with them all, and I want more!

Pursuit into Darkness (War of Destiny #2)Pursuit into Darkness by Theresa Van Spankeren
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Impending devastation and death. Book two in the War of Destiny series starts off roughly eighty years after the events of book one. Some positives are that Julia has Adam at her side and somewhere over time she has just stopped existing and started too truly live again.
1582, back in London and enjoying a peaceful life when one dream, to meet Queen Elizabeth, comes true but everything changes in the same night. Events set into motion that can’t be undone or deterred. A strange dream, a ten-year-old girl and “tarot” cards tells Julia her future, one filled with loss, evil, death, sacrifice, and betrayal. Unsure of what the meaning is more strange things begin starting with a nap.
Can Julia decipher the strange future she was told in time? Betrayal is coming but from who? While this is the second book, I understand how it could be a standalone if starting with this book. That said I feel that it would be like starting a movie forty-five minutes in without context or background on what led to the events or the significance of the situations. Such as Julia finally having Adam at her side or who Marie was to Julia. The continued growth of Julia in discovering herself more and evolving with everything she faces and overcomes. I cannot wait to start book three, Between Darkness and Light. I devoured the first two books in just a few days, once I started, I couldn’t stop.

Bella is on a journey to find herself and to do that she has to start loving herself again. She decides to go on a quest to liberate herself with the help of Mr. Right(Now) and I am happy to be a part of her journey. These books are steamy, witty, and sassy. I love Bella as a main character and I hope she eventually finds Mr. Right. As of right now, I am rooting for Liam but that may change as more characters enter the scene.

Mr. Wimp – 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.

Mr. Smooth – Bella is ready to get back out there after the end of her 12 year relationship. The bartender, Liam, is there to be her first conquest. He is not the relationship type so this is perfect for what she wants right now, to get laid. Liam being the player he is has the experience to make Bella come out of her shell. Her ex-husband did a number on her. Bella’s self confidence is down and she doesn’t believe she is pretty enough to be comfortable in the bedroom. Liam is there to change that. As her sex coach, he will prepare her for the dating world as it is today. A lot of one night stands and players in the online world.

Mr. Player – After Bella’s brief sexual encounter with Liam, she is feeling sexy and ready for her next boy toy. She meets Jack on a dating website. He is gorgeous and they seem to have a lot in common. Bella is excited to have met someone she likes so fast and on her first match! All of her friends seem to be against her jumping into this guys bed so fast, even Liam tries to sway her from her decision. They go on a date and seem to hit it off, too bad he’s no good in the bedroom department.

Mr. Kinky – After a bad encounter with Jack, Bella decides to take a break from the dating sites for a bit. Her and her friends go away on a girls weekend where she meets Jenson. He messages her and she instantly thinks she is being catfished. No way can a guy that gorgeous be real and be interested in her, she thinks. When the girls go to the local pub and guess who the owner is? That’s right! It’s Jenson! He invites Bella for drinks after the bar closes and she finds out that he is into BDSM. Having never tried it, Bella is intrigued. Can she trust Jenson fully to become his sub?

This was a very interesting fantasy read. I am all about fantasy/fae books and was drawn in by the cover of this book. I loved how complex this book was and that it has an appendix to aid in that. This story had it all with betrayal and romance all rolled in. Lannahi has to fight back when her and her family are threatened. She then takes matters into her own hands to take control of her fate. The plot thickens and there are plenty of twists to keep you on the edge of your seat. This story was so much better than I even anticipated. I definitely recommend giving this author a try!

This is the fifth book in the Relic Hunters series, and it absolutely blows my mind that each and every one of them has been incredible! I knew from previous books in the series that I wasn’t going to be able to put it down, so I made sure to find a quiet, comfortable place to devour this entire thing. I recommend reading this series in order as the characters have been in each one, and their dynamic changes a bit throughout. This book closely follows Adam and Matt as they are in quite the predicament. I sat on the edge of my seat the entire way through as the author really dialed up the suspense and danger in this one. I won’t give anything away except the fact that you will need to clear a few hours of your day to devour this book. I highly recommend picking it up (and the series) because it’s phenomenal! I’ll be following this author closely so I can enjoy more of their expertly crafted tales.

What an incredible addition to an already amazing series! This is the fourth book in the Relic Hunters series, and I think this may be my favorite so far. The author shows they have no shortage of ideas and expertly crafts another fast-paced history mixed with legend and fiction read. Adam and his group are in Romania responding to a plea for help, but is it all a trap? They find that they are being hunted and danger, mystery, and suspense ensue. Will they be able to make it through unharmed or is this their last adventure-filled journey together? The one and only thing I could possibly utter a complaint about is that my real-life responsibilities are suffering as I can’t put this book down! Once I pick it up, I am in a trance until I reach the end. Though this is aimed for a YA audience, I thoroughly enjoy each one and am looking forward to the next! I highly recommend this book (and the series) to anyone who enjoys history, myths, legends, and adventures!

Themes are of fae, romantasy, heroine, battle for the kingdom dominate this novel and intended for mature readers as there are stronger scenarios. Lannahi has been betrayed by a former love and now her family is entangled in danger. She needs to make her own plan to protect her family. Although she’s grown up as reserved and sheltered, her character emerges as such a strong female force. What emerges from the timid Lannahi is the challenge to go up against the Queen to take over the land. Besides the usual challenge, Lannahi is also conflicted with learning who to trust, betrayal and loyalty. To get a better view of the storyline and Lannahi’s character, you must read this novel.

This series somehow gets better with each installment! This is the third book in the Relic Hunters series, and I absolutely loved it! The author is an expert at creating such engaging stories that I’ve read in one sitting each time I pick one up. The flow of the book is very natural, and the action, adventure, and danger are a recurring theme throughout! Somehow this author fits our history in so flawlessly with fiction that it’s hard to tell where one ends and another begins. Adam and his group are such a great team, and it was great to see more of the characters and their relationships.

This is the second book in the Relic Hunters series, and it is even more incredible than the first! There is more action, danger, and adventure with Adam and his team. I do recommend reading the first book as it is good to have the background. The author does attempt to give a little introduction to him in the beginning, but there are pieces I would’ve missed without reading the first book prior to this one. I know this is aimed at a younger crowd, but I am pleased to say I was entertained the entire way through. I read it all in one sitting because I couldn’t put it down! I had to know what happened next and wasn’t going to wait to find out! Adam and his group are in Egypt for this adventure when a sandstorm hits. What is surprising is that a forgotten pyramid is found after these sandstorms, and they want to know what’s going on with it. I highly recommend picking this up because it is just too good to miss!

It was a very intense book and kept me on the edge of my seat the whole time, I really couldn’t read it fast enough. At first, I was wondering if the story that was being told by Marcy was real or if she was living it, or maybe all in their head. The dreams that pledge her with so much she can’t tell them apart. This was filled with so much from suspense, action, thrill, emotion, and so much more. This series was amazing I really enjoyed them. there were well put together but you do need to spend some time paying attention, I did find I had to go back once or twice. But this book really showed a different side of what someone could be going thou in their minds. These books were thoroughly thought out and just incredible to read.

I found myself using every excuse to get away from the real world and pick this book back up. If you find yourself interested in myths, legends, and treasure hunters, this book is one you will not want to pass up. Adam and his buddies are all in high school, but he comes home one day and finds that his older brother is missing. The world that he enters is one he never thought could be real. The author did a phenomenal job creating a story with history and fantasy which is a feat in itself.

I hadn’t read anything by this author before, so I hesitated to jump in with an entire box set first thing. Something about the one-word titles named after emotions really pulled me in. You definitely want to read these books in order though as each installment picks up where the previous has left off. We start off with our main character, Marcy, in the first book Rage and the author wastes no time jumping straight into it. I was captivated by the very first chapter and it never let go. I am very glad I got the box set because I immediately jumped into the next one straight away. With the second book, Confusion, Marcy feels stuck and her emotions are clashing. Once we hit the last in this box set, Agony & Ecstasy, I was convinced I was on the most unpredictable rollercoaster I’ve encountered. I won’t give any spoilers, but the author did an amazing job with all of these, and I can’t wait to pick up more from them.
