My rating: 4 of 5 stars

 

4 Stars

 

Kingdom of 7 Sovereigns – Wolf is the first book in the Kingdom of 7 Sovereigns series by R.C. Reigh. This is the first book that I have read by this author, so I really didn’t know what to expect from their work- but I adore a great fantasy, and the cover and blurb promised great things- so I took a chance and dove right in.
I discovered a fantastic YA fantasy story woven with adventure, action, magic, romance, mystery, suspense, drama, angst, a quest, fate/destiny, shifters (wolves), Fae, dragons, tension, friendship, family, high stakes, agendas, plots/ploys, nothing is as it seems, betrayal, and lots of intriguing developments.
This is Dane and Amelia’s story primarily- which sets the foundations of the series, but also gives us multiple POVs of the other ‘main’ cast- which gives us a broader perspective and more to ponder as the story unfolds. There is definitely more at play here, and there is more going on than first meets the eye — so I can’t wait to see what the rest of the series holds.
Kingdom of 7 Sovereigns – Dragon (Book #2 – Dax’s story) is next – and things are set to be great.
Happy Reading…

Thank you, R.C. Reigh!

Auctioned Surrender (Sinful Duets Book 2) by Via Mari – Review by Beverly Finnie

Auctioned Surrender (Sinful Duets #2)Auctioned Surrender by Via Mari
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Another set of books by this author that didn’t disappoint! The Sinful Duets books suck you in and your hook. Auctioned Surrender is made up of Books Auctioned and Relentless. I read the first duet in this series and just like that one these books overlap. Stories being told simultaneously while also being connected to one another.
Auctioned is Damian and Bryanna’s story. Damian’s been tasked to track down a client’s kidnapped niece. And when he finds her he realizes there’s a bigger war at hand. Which leads them both to battle sex trafficking in New Orleans. Which will Keep Bryanna’s family safe.
Can Damian stay professional?
Can Bryanna actually keep her family safe?
Well those questions and so many more come to mind while reading the first book in the duet. More so once you start book 2.
Relentless finds the reader following Layla and Dereck’s story. Dereck was asked a favor to help protect Bryanna. He wasn’t expecting Layla to get under his skin. Layla is hesitant and worried, Dereck is a little too close for comfort and he could ruin everything. At the same time she would like to do everything she can to help her friend!
In regard to Layla, how deep is too deep?
Can Dereck hold his attraction to Layla as bay, while they end up battling sex trafficking at home in Chicago?
You can’t read one without the other. You’ll be missing so much. Which could leave confusion. I know each book’s main focus is a different set of characters but the way this is written the chara are so intertwined that you can’t read one without the other.
Despite the heavy topics it’s definitely worth the read. So what are you waiting for time to go check it out!

The Ocean in His Veins (The Ocean Series)The Ocean in His Veins by A.R. Hadley
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Having met Cal before . I was keen to learn more about who Cal is and what made him who he is …

Again I’d hives you a heads up on your Kleenex and chocolate supply but if you could have this as a beach read you’ll have hit the vibe 😉

Death changes people and when Cal’s grandpa passes there a change in him and he sees life differently…..

He’s trying to find peace the tranquility of the ocean and her crashing waves but peace just seems one wave away ,just like the waves are the woman in his life sone made a mark and sone didn’t but it would seem Annie may just be his peace and his calm 🥰

I’ll be honest I would’ve read this first before Ocean meets sky purely because I’d understand cal better but my heart had a special place for him from the start anyhow but he’s good at hiding his true self and I’m grateful I got the opportunity to learn more of him 🤗

As much as I love Cal there were times I wanted to clip him around the ear 🤣 but I was an emotional mess so I didn’t want to ice this battle 🤣🥰

Cal , you’re real special to me and you deserve happiness ❣️

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Master of the Abyss (Painted Souls Series Book 3) by Rob Samborn. This is the final book in the Painted Souls series and wow its packed full of goodies. I do believe you will better enjoy it if you read the previous books. Its the continuation of Julia trying to get her husband out of purgatory along with others. Julia and her friends are trying with everything they have to stop Salvatore della Porta from reigning supreme over all. They are tracking a very old journal across Europe, to Asia then back again to Venice and all the while they have Salvatore’s men on their tale. Their end goal is find the relic that will destroy the “sun crystal”. Not only Nick needs to be freed but thousands of others are captured. With time against them, Juila and her team will try everything in their power to destroy Salvatore before he takes over and destroys them all. This is a fast paced, sit down and buckle up, historical thriller. I loved every minute of it and hate for it to end!

This is the first book I’m reading by this author. I was worried about starting a series in book 6. However, it didn’t take long before I was following each of the characters sharing their side of what happened to understand the situation. Tom Grant had retired but gets sucked back into help a young woman held in a human trafficking situation. The story is fast paced, action, and so much more. I’m sad that I am reading the last book in the series. I’d love to be able to read the whole series from the beginning. Great world and character building by this talented author.

I just couldn’t put it down. It is written in first person point of view and I think that was perfect for this book. I really enjoyed how we got to know each character better as the book went on, just like in real life. If you want a book that’s going to suck you in then this is it!

Shifter ShortsShifter Shorts by T.K. Lawyer
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

This is a collection of short stories featuring shifters. I liked the premise of most of the collection and could see that there was potential had some of them been more developed but I felt that the shortness minimised the impact they could have had.
There is one that gets quick dark, I’m not opposed to dark or triggering content, but this may not be for everyone so if that is the case, this may not be the right book for you.
Some of the shorts appear rushed and end abruptly and the characters aren’t as developed as I usually prefer but this being said I still enjoyed reading this collection.
I can certainly see the potential and the directions these could take with a little more fleshing out and the plots themselves are interesting.
Overall an interesting collection, with great potential.

This is the second book of the series. Sadly it’s also the last of the series. Kingston Winter is a savage beast who can not control his obsessiveness over a young Ava Blue. Ava is still trying to figure out why she feels the way she does with Kingston. In this book she is giving some freedom and some of it is taken away because she also struggles with letting someone have control over her. Can Kingston break her or Does Ava break Kingston?  I will tell you that Kingston is down right creep throughout the entire series, there are parts that make him less creepy but it doesn’t change too much. I loved the book, I hate having a job that requires me to put my book down otherwise it would have been finished sooner. I can not wait read another series from April.

This is the 6th book in the Tom Grant Series. This book was enjoyable as a standalone however I feel if I read them from the beginning I would get even more enjoyment out of the characters and the story.
This is a crime thriller. Filled with dangers, twists and turns, hidden agendas and a feeling of not knowing who you can trust.
After leaving his position in the agency Tom is dragged back against his will when his ex partner has 2 woman turn up on his door. Both of them are victims of the human trafficking ring and there is a 3rd woman who holds information on the human trafficking ring that is in danger.
Now it is a race against time to save the other woman and stop the boss of the human trafficking ring before she can harm anyone else.

This is a fast paced gripping story that I couldn’t put down. I am looking forward to going back in the series and reading from the beginning as this type of series is definately what I enjoy reading.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I’ve been on a wolf kick lately so the title alone piqued my interest. Then I noticed the stunning artwork on the book cover and I was sold.

The author is new to me so I was excited to start this fantasy series. Especially since it revolves around different paranormal shifter groups in addition to humans: dragons, werewolves, and fae.

We watch the different groups converge upon the illustrious Bastion Academy. When different strong willed groups are placed in close quarters with each other, the expected chaos ensues. So you find just about every aspect popping up throughout the storyline which makes for a very addictive reading experience. All the drama, adventure, romance and bit of camaraderie sprinkled through this book.

I loved how the author built up the drama and suspense between the different characters, as well as developing a brilliant new world that readers will learn more about throughout this book series. I cannot wait to read the next book. I believe readers across all genres and generations can find themselves enjoying this book.

The Human Mating Site Box Set 1 is novella’s 1-4 in this 13 novella series and quite fun to read. If you like sizzling romance, drama, supportive friendships, flirting and a woman on a journey on self discovery and each novella builds on that journey for Bella.

When Bella is looking for more experience on her own, she meets “Mr. Player” aka Jack, but learns why she dubbed him as such. Bella learns hard when he is all about himself not much else. As we are winding down, Bella is out with her friends and meets “Mr. Kinky” aka Jenson….as Jenson would like to teach Bella a new lifestyle….Bella is open to new experiences, but quickly learns that this is not for her….

As Bella keeps learning from you share of experiences and men…will Bella be able to ever find Mr. Right? I cannot wait to continue this series of novella’s….I am very curious what will happen next and who Bella will meet…

The Uncrowned King was SOO INCREDIBLE! I finished the Blood Prince and immediately dove into the Uncrowned King, and it only got better. I could not stop reading. The world building is just as great in the 2nd as the first, the characters are just as loveable or hateable. The hateable ones? Yeah. REALLY hate them. So much passion and emotion in this book, I was literally in tears at the end. I cannot wait for the next one! Great job by Ayla Marie! Will definitely be on the lookout for more from her!

The very first chapter hooks you in and is a page turner. The world building is great and the characters pull you in. I dove into the second book literally as soon as I finished the first. Cannot wait for the next! 10/10, would definitely recommend and will be reading it again!

This story introduces readers to a world where the convergence of royal heirs at Bastion Academy promises more than just academic challenges. As the characters navigate through their education, the intricate game of power and manipulation unfolds, creating a backdrop for the darker end goals.
R.C. Reigh has crafted a captivating story that balances suspense, fantasy, and the challenges of adolescence. As the characters evolve and the plot thickens, readers will find themselves eagerly turning the pages, drawn into a world where the stakes are high, and nothing is as it seems.

I had previous read Mr. Wimp, but was more than happy to re read it all over again in order in the box set for the first 4 books. I can’t which I liked best so far, it might be Mr. Heartless at the end. I can’t figure out what Bella and Liam are thinking, the chemistry between them is so off the charts, they would be so good together. But, I like that Bella is out there finding herself again after her marriage to Joel. Of course you have to kiss a few toads first, and Bella is put through it with some of these men. The ending of this set has me dying for the next book! I can’t wait to see where Bella’s journey leads her or rather who her journey leads her to. I think I’m still going to hold out for her and Liam working out permanently but, then again, who is this Nathan character that seems familiar?

I honestly didn’t know what to expect going in but I was intrigued by the cover and the blurb caught my attention. I had a hard time connecting with the characters and just felt like it bounced around to much. I really wanted to like this story but just didn’t. I’m hoping the next book will capture for me what this on one lacked. I will say I found this book to be very interesting and some of the information was new to me. This author is fairly new to me and even though this book didn’t make the cut im still looking forward to what the rest of this series turns out to be. If you like Sci-Fi Fantasy then id recommend reading this book.

I love the playlist at the beginning of the book. I also love that each chapter has a quote at theme beginning. Book 2 was even more entertaining than the first. There’s always the fear that King will go back on his word but seeing how much he really does care about her and does his best to protect her is endearing. He’s changing for the better. The cruelty of Kings brothers was intense and I felt Ava’s fear. So trigger warning to anyone who has trauma around violence.

My rating: 3 of 5 stars

 

3 Stars

 

Shifter Shorts by T.K. Lawyer is a bit of a nibble platter of bite-sized morsels of tempting tasty treats. Having read and enjoyed several of Ms. Lawyer’s stories in the past few years, I thought I knew what to expect… but she surprised me (in a good way).
This is a collection of six short paranormal romance stories bundled into one. The collection of stories are all shifter romance and range from friends to lovers, to darker more dangerous tones, sprinkled with some sweetness, a little sexiness, some spice, a touch of creepy tension, intriguing developments, gargoyles, wolves, cats, sharks, and hellhounds- just to name a few.
‘Gargoyle Mine’ was definitely my favourite- but I was surprised by the shark shifter story- ‘Haven’ as I had not read another shark-shifter story before, and wasn’t sure I would like it- but Ms. Lawyer has given me a taste for something new.
While I did enjoy the collection, I felt like I wanted more. There were times I felt like the story was rushed, or abrupt. I think these stories are ones I would like to read longer, meatier versions of- as there are a lot of intriguing possibilities here.
Looking forward to seeing what Ms. Lawyer does next.
Happy reading…

Thank you, T.K. Lawyer!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I really enjoy the Winemakers Series and this short additional story is no different. The Scent of Snow brings one of my favorite characters in this series back to front and center. I love the storyline and the stories this author tells. The character development is wonderful to behold.
Pedro is back and unfortunately he still feels broken. Having redeemed himself in some light, he still feels broken and unworthy in other light. Which is killing him because it means he’s disappointing his wife Anne.
All Anne desires is her husband’s child, however he refuses to grant her that wish. But he won’t tell her why, just keeps telling her she’s young and they have plenty of time.
It’s Christmas and Pedro and Anne are hosting her family and close friend. As well as Cris, Pedro’s brother, should be returning home as well.
Will Pedro ever feel healed/whole?
Will Anne ever get the child she desires?
It’s hard not to keep writing but I don’t want to spoil everything. Like I said this book is significantly shorter than the others. So there’s only so much one can say without spoiling it.
I will say this, you can read this story on its own; however I suggest you at least read Pedro and Anne’s story first. This is just an addition to that original story.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The conclusion of this series comes to us in the form of this novella. Pedro and Anne have been married for a couple of years now and it’s coming upon the Christmas season. Anne’s family is coming to visit and Pedro is just overjoyed at their arrival (insert mass sarcasm here). Things have been going well for Anne and Pedro except for one thing….Pedro is refusing to give Anne the one thing she wants most. As the family starts to arrive, Pedro receives some unexpected news that will cause a shift in his demeanor and have Anne wondering what could possibly be up with him. Can Christmas be saved and the bridge that is gulfing this couple be mended?

It’s another great historical read and one that still has me a little leery of Pedro. He’s been growing on me since first meeting him in The True Purpose of Vines but I’m still not completely won over by him yet. I’m hoping his and Anne’s story is not done yet and that they will make cameo appearances in future books.

This book can be read as a standalone. I would encourage you to read the entire series in order though so you have a good history of Pedro!
