My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is book nine of this series. It can be read as a stand alone but I highly suggest reading all of the previous books in this series. It will help you with your enjoyment of this series as well as this author’s writing skills. I have enjoyed reading this series from the beginning. Each one keeps getting better and better. This book is no different. It is a well written story about what happens when a vision leads to villains and not only villains but destiny steps in to put two people together. Are they mates and what does destiny have in store for these two. This is a dark romance story with vampires and steamy characters. I enjoyed how the characters pulled me into their world. They kept me turning pages fast and had me engaged to the end. They are strong, relatable characters that have great chemistry and attraction is off the charts. Their story is fast paced and hard to put down. I really enjoy reading this series and this book is one of my favorites. I highly recommend this book.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I enjoyed reading this suspenseful story. This is a newer author for me which I enjoy her attention to details to make her twists and turns pop. Her writing skills are such that her story has a realistic feel that makes the story easy to read. This is a well written story about Margo. A drug gets put in her drink that makes her blackout but she wakes up to thousands of dollars in damages. She ends up at an estate where she hopes that she can earn some money to pay for the damages but she gets more than what she bargained for. What she finds is secrets and lies and no way out. What happens to Margo is something you don’t want to miss. She is a great character that is strong and determined. She is my favorite of the story and made the story for me. I really enjoyed this fast paced, hard to put down, engaging story. I highly recommend this story.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Oooh, how I love this series! Here is book3 and it’s so intense. It’s mystery, suspense, romance, drama and a bit more of anything else dark. There are two stories within the book. They are fabulous. Each story contains the coupling of a power couple basically. The woman turns out to be a strong, resilient woman that falls for the gorgeous, slightly rich guy. I’m not telling you anymore because you have to experience this deliciously sinful and exciting book for yourself. It’s hot, spicy and a must-read. Go for it, you know you want to..

Master Botosoni (Masters of the Consulate #9)Master Botosoni by Sylvia Black
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This has been a fascinating series. This is book 9 of the series. It is definitely “read in order.” Master Botosoni is on a mission with the others to stop the rogue vampires, shifters and witches. With the help of Catina and her gift of sight and her role in everything, some major changes are made. There are some twists that I couldn’t see coming. I love following this series. It’s also fun because as the books go on, most of the team comes back to help with the war. I do think at times there are some spots that get a little dry but that’s where the author throws in a twist. Considering the big twist at the end, I’m looking forward to the next book. I can’t wait for book 10 to come out and see where the next Master leads us.

This is a 7-BOOK COLLECTION (get it now!) of intertwined, yet standalone stories about the Rocklyn family. There is really something for everyone in these stories from forced proximity to grumpy-sunshine to forbidden love and everything in-between. I really enjoyed Street’s style of writing, her plot lines and they way they are driven, and her character development. I think she does a fantastic job of making her characters realistic and relatable. I also love that I didn’t have to wait for the next book to come out AND I didn’t even have to go hunt the next book down because they are all wrapped up nicely in this spicy little bundle. These books are fast-paced reads that you won’t want to put down.

Betrayal of the Gods (Relic Hunters Book 5)Betrayal of the Gods by Martin Ferguson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The Hunter brothers are back and this time they are on their own, the team that they have been with is torn apart as the brothers find out some information which they have been seeking all their lives, and more on top of that. The betrayal is something they didn’t expect and ends up with them walking out and beginning a hunt of their own.

This means that for the first time, the Hunter brothers are lacking in equipment, supplies, information or support, but they do have their smarts, skills and tricks to be able to get the help they need. The journey starts out at home where they are shown something both close to their hearts and miles away at the same time, however, it just solidifies their determination to find out the answers they long for.

As usual, nothing is simple and straightforward, however, they do find someone else who can give them their first waypoint and so the chase begins. They realise that although they know a lot about mythology, this chase is going to lead them on an epic journey of discovery where myth and reality collide and with both their friends and enemies hot on their trail, will the two brothers be able to uncover all the information they need, or will this journey be their last one?

This is a cross country race against time as the hunters become the hunted in this dangerous and life altering journey in the footsteps of history.

3/5 Stars
This was my first read of the series. This was a quick read for me and it was able to be read as a standalone. I will say reading the previous books would have given me more details, but it’s not necessary. I thought this was going to be a clean, Christmas romance, but it’s not. It has some spice which caught me off guard.

Shifter Shorts by TK Lawyer – Review by Lorralei Hoerner

Shifter ShortsShifter Shorts by T.K. Lawyer
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

4 Stars 🌟🌟🌟🌟

Shifter Shorts is 6 “short” stories that I truly found quite enjoyable. If you love paranormal/fantasy stories with some alphas, sizzle, drama and fated mates, this is a really good read. I love the uniqueness of these stories as the shifters are gargoyles, dragon/vampire, hellhounds, cats, wolves and shark. As each story has its own blend of shifter and mate, each couple is trying to navigate feelings while trying to figure out next steps and survive dangers with an HEA, which I love.

While I enjoyed all 6 stories, my favorite story was “Gargoyle Mine”. I loved the gargoyle shifter and found it very different and quite enjoyable.

Each story left me wanting a bit more, so I am looking forward to more stories like these from this author.

Good Enough is the first installment of The Deadman’s Tribe series. Nicole Craig writes with such passion for her character’s. The story line was full of romance and suspense. The story of Kai and Water’s had me hooked from the very beginning, keeping me on the edge of my seat until the very end. There were some very intense scenes that some may find disturbing however, overall, Craig did an amazing job with this military style genre. I highly recommend this novel to all romance lovers. I can’t wait to see what Craig brings next in this series.

Each story is well written and you get easily wrapped up in the stories. The fact that the characters are well-developed and grow as you read about them in such a short while makes this a good book.

This book also has a good amount of spice to it that will get you going. Read this book to read the journey of a few different shifters and how they handle each of their unique situations.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Sweet Dreams by Claire by Nanette Littlestone is a sweet, charming romance that I enjoyed from the beginning until I finished the last page.

Claire has worked in her family’s bakery since she was a child, learning from her mother the joy of baking. Now, she has ideas and recipes of her own that she would like to try, but her mother has no interest in trying something new. She squelches any idea that Claire brings to her.

One day a chance encounter completely upends Claire’s life. She is told by her mother to take some desserts to the Cleary’s resort for a taste testing for an upcoming wedding. On her way, she literally collides with the bride’s brother, Finn. When she arrives, the desserts are ruined, but an opportunity presents itself. She is given permission from the chef to use his kitchen, and she uses this chance to make her own creation which is a HIT!!!

Her mundane life is now anything but that. She is embroiled in the bride, Brigid’s, wedding and forms a fast friendship with her. In addition, she finds herself in a possible relationship with Finn. He encourages her to go for her dreams and brings her out of her shell. However, an accident that happened many years ago may be standing in between this new relationship with Finn.

Not only is this a romance, but it’s a story about family, forgiveness, new opportunities, and dreams! Plus, it takes place in Ireland and involves baking…what could be any better than that!!!! If you are in the mood to read a sweet tale that leaves you with a warm feeling in your heart, you can’t beat this magical little book!

In a world where slavery and death are on the line, Lannahi is going to have to fight for her kingdom and her freedom. She is the youngest sibling of 3, and her siblings are, well to put it mildly, jerks. They don’t really care about her outcome. She thinks she’s in love with this guy until his true colors come to light and he enchants her, to the point that if she does not comply, death will be her outcome. To get out from under his spell, she must participate in the Moon Games. These games are held monthly and there are strict rules. Not everyone plays by the rules though. Lannahi is going to need some help from an ally, but who can really be trusted?

This was an interesting and fun read. There is lots of adventure, fantasy, some romance, and power grabs. I love the time and attention the author took to developing the characters. While it did slow down the pace of the book a bit, it was much needed and appreciated!

A Heart So Savage (The Savage Duet Book 2) by April Moran – Review by Jessica Stone

I’m not going to lie I am so happy that I read the first book to this one basically back to back, I don’t know how long I could have waited to find out what was going to happen to King and Ava.

This book picks up right after the events of the first book, so if you haven’t read book one, stop what you’re doing go back and read it first and then come back, honestly you’d miss out on a ton of you tried to read this.

So I’m super into the forced proximity, reluctant relationship these two have. King is DEEP in his feelings for Ava and after everything they’ve been through it’s only fitting that Ava spend the majority of this book questioning basically her sanity for feeling the things she does for him, and loving the way he makes her feel. And let’s be honest, we all want to feel like kinky sex goddesses sometimes. King and his resolute feelings for Ava break me a bit, he’s gone through a lot, and though we knew he was “intrigued” with Ava, fascinated I guess to see him fall into love with Ava was heart melting.

I love the twists this book throws in with its characters, some from the first book and some new players! But please definitely watch out for trigger warnings going into this book, it gets down to the nitty gritty, lays it all bare but I think that’s what makes the story so intriguing. The author isn’t afraid to tell the story, and sometimes things can get ugly, but that makes the resolutions so much sweeter.

UHMM! Oliver what??? If you’ve read the first book, as you should, you’ll know what I’m talking about! I was blown away by that wildcard! Super hope we get a book about him and his redemption! I would love to read more like this from the author, dark mafia romance done right. Secretly hoping I can find my own Kingston one day. 🤞🏻

Lannahi is a princess that takes her fate into her own hands. She feels her only escape is to take over a kingdom due to a curse placed upon her. Will she be able to defend herself and her new kingdom from harm?

I enjoyed Lannahi as the main character. She is a strong and fair ruler but questions her actions. The citizens of her kingdom don’t automatically accept her, and she captures the old queen as her slave. There are a lot of names in this book and sometimes I was confused with the number of side characters. The world building was good, but I feel like it could have used more details to bring it to life. The story is original, and the ending was unexpected.

Portrait of Deception is the second gripping book in the Southwest Suspense series. I really enjoyed reading the first book and looked forward to reading more from this author and I wasn’t disappointed.
As with the first book this women’s fiction tale will have your heart pumping with just the right amount of darkness, danger, high drama, suspense and tension palpable enough to keep you on the edge of your seat and glued to the pages.
The story is fast-paced, full of action and the engrossing storylines have mystery and lots of grit and sometimes disturbing events. There are dictators, hidden agendas, betrayals, grudges, questionable behaviours and so much more. It is full of violence, dangerous thugs and thrilling twists and turns that kept me guessing.
The characters are complex, well developed and well written. Let me tell you there are characters that you will love to hate in this book.
Margo finds herself on a twisted trail right into the hands of the shady, dark and dangerous world where she can hopefully remain alive. Being a photographer has never been this deadly.
This twist tale was hard to put down because I had to know what was going to happen next.
I eagerly look forward to reading more from this author.

I enjoyed reading this collection of romance stories. This is an author that I enjoy reading. Her stories are full of romance and easy to read. They are well written stories with each book having their own unique characters. They are engaging, fast paced stories that will keep you reading until the end. One of the things that I enjoy most with a boxset is that you don’t have to wait for the next book to be published. This box set has seven romance stories and a guarantee to find a favorite among them. My favorite is Never Lovers. Patrice has escaped to her cousin’s ski house after panicking about seeing herself in her wedding dress. What she doesn’t realize is that her past and present are about to crash into each other and shake things up. What happens you will need to read about. I enjoyed reading these seven great romance stories which I highly recommend.

Deja Brew All Over Again: A Runaway Bride Romance (Love on Tap Book 3)Deja Brew All Over Again: A Runaway Bride Romance by Sylvie Stewart
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

What a great addition to a great series. I loved getting to read all about Miller and his crazy self. Miller pretty much does what he wants and doesnt really care about much. When he has to go to court,!he’s sitting in his car when a woman jumps in the passenger seat
Of his car asking him to drive. She isn’t just any woman, she’s a woman in a wedding dress running from her wedding. Miller does as she asks and drives her where she needs to
Go. That definitely is the end of the woman in the wedding dress. Maisy ends up being Millers new obsession which is odd because Miller doesn’t obsess over anyone.
This book had a lot going on. There was Millers best friend seeming to be in trouble, the mess with Driscoll, Maisy stressing over her mom wanting to take Bear away, along with some other stuff. Looking forward to Lynn’s book. That should be amazing once her brothers catch wind of what she’s up to 🙂

Savage Start (Hidden Valley Elite #0.5)Savage Start by Isla Vaughn
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I did things kind of backwards and read the entire Hidden Valley Elite Series before I read Savage Start, the prequel to them all. However, knowing the rest of the stories did not take away from the excitement and thrills of this one. Isla Vaughn starts this series off right with the introduction of some amazing characters. From the first page, the characters come to life; their struggles, emotions, and passion capture the reader’s attention. The world building of Isla Vaughn is spectacular! The reader is transported through the pages into the world of the Elite; the California coastline, beachside mansions, and parties at those mansions all come to life with her words! This book definitely gave me more insight into the timeline and background of Cole and Riley’s tumultuous relationship. Overall, another great read by Isla Vaughn! I can’t recommend this series enough, but definitely start with this one before moving on to the rest.
