My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is book 1 in the Deadman’s Tribe series and also the author’s debut novel. This was a amazing read. I was gripped from the beginning and it didn’t let me go. The author does an amazing job with the story, the twists and turns really made this a story I couldn’t stop reading and the characters were so well developed I couldn’t help but be dragged into their story.
The main characters were well matched. Our leading male was everything I love in a leading man, strong, protective, determined to protect no matter the cost and what I also loved is that our leading lady is just as determined and can take care of herself. She is certainly not someone who will wait for a man to come and save her which only makes her more appealing to our leading man.

Kai Serrano is a Hollywood director who needs the assistance of a Navy SEAL for her film to make it as real as possible. When she meets Waters the spark between them starts from the first meeting but she is too busy to be distracted by a man even one that takes her breath away.

Waters feels the connection too but he isn’t pleased when he is put forward as the candidate to assist her but something isn’t right and Waters and his boss both sense it.
When filming starts things start to happen. Accidents on set happen more than they should, things go missing and to top it all Kai’s brother gets kidnapped.
Waters feels that Kai is in danger but from what or who is the problem. Now he has to use all his expertise to protect her even though she can’t see the danger around her. Can they work together to solve the mystery of who wants her and why without losing themselves to the chemistry and fire between them?

This is a fast paced, action packed suspense romance that I couldn’t put down. I am really looking forward to seeing what the author has in store for us next.

Kingdom of 7 Sovereigns: WolfKingdom of 7 Sovereigns: Wolf by R.C. Reigh
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is the first book in the Kingdom of 7 Sovereigns series. The fact that the blurb describes this as a mix between GOT, LOTR and Pride and Prejudice had me wanting to read this immediately. Some of my top favourites combined, I had very high hopes! This book did not disappoint.
There were great characters and a plot I thoroughly enjoyed. The pairing of Amelia and Dane was great, their interactions and concept behind their relationship was interesting and engaging. Other character, Cora for example, were also brilliant and I hope to see more of all of them throughout the series! The world building was creative and in depth. I enjoyed the setting of the magical academy and how it was set up nicely for future novels.
I loved this world, the plot, the author’s writing style and the characters. I can’t wait to get my hands on the next book in the series!

Hope For a New World (The Hope Series Book 1)Hope For a New World by Renee W. Peek
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

I love the concept, I love that Gaia is speaking to them and that her speaking to them isn’t a new thing, it’s something that’s been going on (for some) for years. The author gives a character list at the beginning of the book which is great to be able to go back to check out but it did bother me a tad that there were so many. I feel it’s just harder to connect with a character when there’s so many POVs to keep up on.
I love how these people connect and work so well with each other, it was amazing when they saved the ship and I really liked the part of them needing to be outside with Adelphi for healing. With the bad blood between them and the military it was nice to see them be civil with each other. It was a nice spiritual community book.

The Blood Prince by Ayla Marie is the first book of two. The first half of the book is told from Leo’s perspective. He is a mercenary and extremely dangerous. His parents are past and he does everything he can to protect his siblings. When one of his siblings turns out to have the same powers that make him so dangerous, they must flee to live. This story is so immersive and incredible. Their story is all about persevering through difficult times. I highly recommend this story and look forward to seeing what else this author does in the future. 4 out of 5 stars.

Spunky movie director, Kai Serrano, seeks out a Navy SEAL consultant from The Tribe. Even from their initial meeting, sparks fly with Kai and ex-SEAL Waters. When she becomes a target, Waters goes from consultant to protector. This was a fast-paced romance story and I immediately fell in love with Kai and Waters! The story is wonderful, as are the characters

I enjoyed reading this suspenseful story. This is not my first book by this author and this is a series that I enjoy reading. This is the sixth book in the series which is just as great as the previous books. I highly suggest reading the previous books as well, it will help your enhancement of this author’s writing skills and the characters. I found this book to be well written and hard to put down. I enjoyed how the author used details to pull me into the character’s lives. They are connectable and keep the story engaging. There is great growth throughout the story which just adds to the story’s entertainment. The twist and turns had me turning pages fast just to see what would happen next. This is a fast paced story that you don’t want to miss. I highly recommend this book and this series.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

What a fun book! This is part of the Grandma’s Closet series. Carrie is looking for something fun to do and can’t find anyone to do it with. She remembers the boxes that Grandma left. It’s amazing what a round box marked with Fascinator can do for your imagination. I find the way that the author highlights the action words to point out the movements. Carrie is having fun just looking for fun. The way the author also points out the adjectives like different and unusual shows that using your imagination is okay. Being creative is a good thing. This is a wonderful book and my family always looks forward to new ones from this author. Reading and fun go together so well.

My rating: 3 of 5 stars

3.5 Stars

 

The Round Box is the second book in the Grandma’s Closet’ series by Lois Wickstrom. It is an interesting, illustrated children’s storybook- with a bit of adventure, a touch of drama, a little whimsy, and plenty of imagination.
Grandma has some interesting things stored in the closet. What does Carrie find this time? Carrie opens the FASCINATOR box- and finds a special hat that looks like a boat. What happens makes for a cute read.
As with the first book in the series- I loved the cover illustration, but was disappointed to find that the interior illustrations are not of the same type/style. The inner illustrations, although quite whimsical in a naïve style- weren’t quite as ‘interesting’ or appealing to me- and I don’t feel that they draw or hold your attention like the cover picture does. The cover picture made me want to find out what happens and captured my imagination- but the inside pictures were a bit lacking- in my opinion. Still a cute story though…
Grandma’s Closet series consists of (so far):
-Carries Flight (Book #1)
-The Round Box (Book #2)
-Magic Wanda (Book #3)
-Treasure Hunt (Book #4)
Happy reading!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

 

4 – 4.5 Stars

 

Good Enough is the first book in The Deadman’s Tribe and debut novel by Nicole Craig. I was immediately hooked by the blurb of this book, not realising that it was the author’s debut novel. I had already let my ‘one-click’ finger loose and snapped up a copy before I realised that this was the author’s first book. That made me even more curious to see what she could do. So I found a comfy spot, coffee in hand, and set off on the ’adventure’.
I have to say that I was pleasantly surprised by what I found- engrossed in the story right from the get-go, I wasn’t even halfway through when I decided that I would definitely be keeping a close eye on Ms. Craig and will pounce on anything else she releases.
This proved to be a cleverly woven story with a multilayered storyline. Ms. Craig crafted a superb romantic suspense with a protective alpha-type MC, a strong & sassy FMC, a security/military element, with plenty of dramatic developments, twists & turns, chemistry, sparks, connection, danger, violence, tension, intrigue, intensity, mystery, secrets, action, humour, emotion, and more. I loved how well-developed the characters were, and how they were masterfully constructed into fully-realised individuals with their own unique personalities, quirks, and flaws. I loved the cheeky, funny banter, quips, and the team/character’s camaraderie. Getting an alternating, duel POV added depth and intrigue to the story, and I loved being privy to the characters inner dialogue- it really added an extra element of interest to the whole story.
This first book has definitely given me a taste for more, and I can’t wait to find out more about the tribe as the series progresses.
If you love protective alpha-types, a military/security team vibe, romantic suspense with an engrossing storyline, chemistry, and sparks- then you will definitely want to grab a copy of this to explore…
Bring on ‘Bad Enough’ (Book #2 – which is TB’s story).
Happy Reading…

Thank you, Nicole Craig!

My rating: 3 of 5 stars

I have to be up front and say I am not usually a short story reader, for some reason I often have trouble connecting properly in a short storyline so I sometimes wonder if that impacts my reading experience. This author however, presents the reader with a real mix of stories with hot shifter alphas and fated mates that I did enjoy. None are what you might typically expect and I love that. Don’t go into reading this with any preconceived ideas, simply start reading and enjoy this fun and unusual collection of stories.

Lets start this off by saying, if you’re starting this series without reading the 1st book, you’re missing SO MUCH. You should stop now and go back. You need the 1st book. It’s go SO MUCH story line. Book 2 we see how much Ava has fallen for King (and how much King is trying to be in denial about his love for Ava). Anyway. This book wraps everything up really well. I was super pleased with the way this story played out. I can’t wait to see what else April Moran has for me to read!!

This series is starting out to be everything I was hoping it would be, and so much more. It’s rough, it’s dark, is full of adoration, anger, controlling, loyalty and backstabbing family. All the things I love in a great story. I can’t wait to read the 2nd book. Kingston and Ava have so much story left to tell. I can’t wait to see how April Moran ties it all in. I’m excited.
If you love a dark romance with a some romance, I definitely recommend starting this series!!

A Heart So Savage (The Savage Duet #2)A Heart So Savage by April Moran
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

In this book we get to find out the answers to so many questions. Will Oliver truly betray his brother? Will Carson ever get what he really deserves? Will Ava and King figure out they are meant to be together? I am not going to tell you the answers to all those questions, but I will let you find out for yourself as you read.

Here is what I will tell you, Ava realizes that she needs Kingston more than she thought and she wants him. This causes all kinds of internal turmoil for Ava until she believes that he can’t live without her either. When she finally learns to trust Kingston, Ava discovers that other side of him that he doesn’t show anyone. Together, they can be happy.

Kingston keeps his promise to find out who killed Ava’s parents. When Kingston tells Ava the truth, she is devastated. Carson managed to take much more than she thought. When Carson’s current plan to sell Ava and have her declared or found dead so that he can take her part of the inheritance money, Ava plots her revenge.

When Ava escapes Kingston’s security to enact her revenge on Carson, things go a little sideways. Ava didn’t account for the fact that Carson wasn’t alone. Even though she got in a killer stab wound, Carson and his buddies were able to capture Ava. A giant, unexpected monkey-wrench is thrown into the works when Oliver shows up and takes control of the situation. How will Kingston react?

A thrilling conclusion to the duet.

Kai Serrano, Hollywood director, needs a Navy SEAL to be a consultant on her next film. What she neither needs, nor wants, is to be distracted by him, even if he is every woman’s ideal military action hero.

Waters is a man with no identity. Even if someone knew his real name, it would only lead them to a dead man. He cannot afford to get distracted by an attractive, sassy director. Relationships are not allowed, even if he wanted one.

Kai and Waters work well together, but there’s trouble brewing on the set. Items are going missing, accidents are on the rise, and Kai’s office and living space have been broken into. To top it all off, now her brother is missing, but it’s unclear if he’s been kidnapped or hiding out.

It’s clear Kai is in danger, but from whom? Is it her executive producer who attempts to belittle her at every turn? Is she leverage in her brother’s disappearance? Or does she unknowingly have something she shouldn’t?

With the stakes this high, are Kai and Waters good enough to figure out what’s going on without falling for each other in the process?

Trigger Warning: This book contains a violent assault. Content throughout is for mature readers.

Virgin? Check

New Identity? Double Check.

Grifter? Triple Check. 

Look, it’s not like I have a choice about being born into a family of conmen, or women- technically. A girl’s got to survive, and by the looks of the new town I’m forced into, it’s time to step up my game.  

It doesn’t take long to survey my prey, steal a souvenir, and get stopped by a panty-melting local who steals a kiss.  

That kiss is poison. Not really, but the emotional kind that forces me to face the fact. 

If I give up my precious v-card to a guy, he’s the kind who would take it. Dangerous. Sexy as hell and just as deadly. Distracting enough that I somehow managed to get caught… but will I escape?

Savage Start is an enemies-to-lovers, new adult bully romance with plenty of angst, and the prequel to Riley and Cole’s duet Savage Lies and Savage Truth. 

This book contains mature content that some readers may find disturbing. It is not a standalone and does end in a cliffhanger that continues with Savage Lies.

Hope For a New World (The Hope Series Book 1)Hope For a New World by Renee W. Peek
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the first book that I have read by Renee W. Peek and color me impressed. First off going by the cover I thought this was going to be a peaceful style read, like a self discovery book but man after reading the description then the book it was a total 180. This book was filled with dystopian, end-of-the-world action, hope, tension, and top notch drama. As the book went on the more I loved it. I also loved the characters (most lol) and the amazing worlds the author has built (with great in depth details)really made the story pop off the page, playing like a movie. I really enjoyed that some characters can speak to gaia, I thought that was interesting. The multiple POV was awesome too, I often find myself wondering how the other characters were feeling and thinking this helps. I HIGHLY recommend reading this story.. I’m already on the way to read the next book of this series. I can’t wait to see what happens next.

A Heart So Savage (The Savage Duet #2)A Heart So Savage by April Moran
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

A Heart So Savage is the duet that goes with A King So Savage, the question is where did we leave off? I actually liked this book better than the first one. Both are very dark but have breaks of light in them. This one definitely has a bit more light. The author pretty much picks up where the previous book left off.
Ava’s brother has decided not to pay, sealing her fate. She now belongs to Kingston completely, mind, body, and soul. Which doesn’t sit well with her. He’s a monster that flirts with pleasure and pain. Yet she is confused because she enjoys it.
Will she stay or find a way out?
Kingston makes it his mission to keep Ava safe. And even though he’s not safe, she’s safest with him. Now that he has his prize, he knows that his brother as well as Ava’s will stop at nothing to destroy him. They don’t care that Ava will be a casualty in their wake. One problem he needs to remain the vicious beast of his reputation, but Ava’s changing him.
Will his attraction and affection for her be his downfall?
As stated at the beginning this is book 2 of a duet. You need to read book 1 first, you will be sorely disappointed if you don’t.
I don’t usually like books that have these types of dark themes but these two were pretty good. The author made sure of that.

This was definitely a unique way of having a book set up. It’s been a while since I’ve read a book that’s purposely set up to have two books inside of it that weren’t originally published on their own. (Unless they were, and I missed the memo on it). That being said, I highly enjoyed the(se) book(s), and I absolutely adored the chemistry between the characters that. I love this author’s works, and every time I see a new release for their books, I always make sure to snatch it up and recommend it to everyone.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Sweet Dreams by Claire: A Small Town Feel-Good Delicious Irish Romance (Capture the Light, Book 2)

This was a sweet and enjoyable introduction to Ms. Littlestone and her writing. I got lost in the story and had to be reminded to put it down.

Claire made the Mama in me want to hold and encourage her to follow all of her dreams. She has such an amazing talent in the kitchen and I hated to see her talents stiffled. Thankfully she has her Grandmother there for support and love and to guide her where she needs to be.

Finn is in a similar situation as Claire with having his dreams dismissed by his parent. He meets Claire while there for his sister’s wedding.

They have fun, get in trouble and fall for one another. He is so good for her, he grounds her and helps her let loose and heal.

This can be read as a standalone, but there is information and details in the first book that would be helpful to know. I will go back to read the first one and keep and eye out any new books.

Auctioned Surrender (Sinful Duets Book 2) by Via Mari – Review by Candida Hopper

Auctioned Surrender (Sinful Duets #2)Auctioned Surrender by Via Mari
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Both of these books kept me glued to the pages and I had a hard time putting them down. This author never fails to amaze me with her writing style and ability to pull me into the stories.
Bryanna and Damien’s story. Damien works for an elite security team and he is tasked to find Bryanna. Damien had no idea that he would feel so strongly toward her when he found her. Bryanna would do anything to keep her family safe. She wants to trust Damien but doesn’t know if she can. This is a must read to find out what happens.
Dereck and Layla’s story. When Dereck was asked to do a favor he definitely wasn’t prepared to encounter a feisty woman. Layla doesn’t trust anyone and she will do anything to save her sister and friend. The chemistry between these is undeniable. I don’t want to give anything away so I’m just going to say this is a must read. Both of these stories have great characters, suspense, romance, danger and more. I highly recommend reading this.

The Uncrowned King (The Blood Prince Series) by Ayla Marie – Review by Mandy Ott

The Uncrowned King (The Blood Prince, #2)The Uncrowned King by Ayla Marie
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The Uncrowned King is the second book in The Blood Prince Series by Ayla Marie and it is just as exciting and emotional as the first! This book continues where the first left off and finds Leo and his family in Arkezo, the home of his father and other blood relatives. Leo, Cael, and the others are trying to navigate a new city, lots of new information regarding Leo’s lineage and the history between the different people, as well as dealing with more loss. At times, I almost felt overwhelmed with emotion myself. There are just as many twists and turns in this story as the first and it kept me on the edge of my seat the entire book! Ayla Marie’s world building is spectacular! The sights, sounds, and smells of the city permeate off the page to transport the reader into the story. Not to give too much away, but it seems as though Leo’s story will continue and I am anxiously awaiting when it does!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

5/5 stars
This is book 2 in this series and it’s a great continuation of the series. Just as detailed and action packed as the first one. Where some series fall off after the first book, I can tell this series will just keep getting better.
