Going to start off by saying its 4 stars because I didn’t realize this was a series when I chose to read it. Also, I haven’t been into the whole world of BDSM even though I like spice sometimes. I will say it’s an awesome book, great story and very very informative lol. This book had some good twist, and the characters are just as good! I have added the first two books of the series to my TBR list and will buy them on my next book haul. I am looking forward to reading more of Alyndra Quinn Books especially the first two to this series.
This Time Around by Kimberly Packard is a second chance romance in the vein of 17 Again or 13 going on 30 (well opposite on that one). It follows Josie – middle-aged anxiety-riddled divorcee and mother of two. Her life is in shambles, mental health a mess, and her heart still hasn’t gotten over the one that got away. When the pressure becomes too much, Josie wakes up from a panic attack to find herself back in her teens getting ready to start senior year of high school. Josie is determined to right the wrongs of the past and armed with love of children as yet unborn. This is one second-chance romance you don’t want to miss.

The Handshake Agreement by A. Akinosho follows the story of Annie and Declan. Though he has promised his father, through a handshake agreement, that he will marry the woman of his fathers choosing, all that changes when Declan meets Annie. Annie is a friend of Delcans younger sister and he will stop at nothing to make her his. This book contains many themes including a possessive, alpha male; stalking; and an age gap. I’d say this is a good book if you enjoy those themes. There’s definitely some major twists.

I really enjoyed reading the second book in the series. It gave me a chance to reconnect with some of the characters in the first book.
This could be read as a stand alone book or the series can be read in order. If I were you, I would get the first book and read them in order because I enjoyed them both so much.
Someone was killing off the book club members and Lexie and her friend Joy were trying to help find out who it was. Check out the book I think you will enjoy it.

This is the thrilling fourth adventure novel in the Tally and the Angel series. There is enough back story woven throughout so that’s this book stands alone well. The adventure and drama in the story is appropriate for the 8-14 she group. The Greek mythology in this story is entertaining and relatable for kids!

I’m discovering this author for the first time. My oldest little one and I read this book together. It took us a couple days because we had to take breaks, but not because we wanted to. Lol we didn’t want to stop. It was such a good read. I personally love Greek mythology so now I can share that with my little one with a fun age appropriate book🥰. We enjoyed this action filled adventure that Tally went on. He said since we started on the fourth book he wanted to go back and read the others and I agree. They will be going into our tbr pile.i highly recommend reading this, especially if you enjoy reading books like Percy Jackson.

Unexpected Heroes is a MM second chance romance, By Naomi Valkyrie. I have read books by this author and was excited to get this one and definitely was not disappointed. It is extremely well written and keeps you wanting more. This book brings you so many emotions and the characters are fantastic. The main characters are strong yet broken. I became very invested and read it in one day. You won’t regret this book one bit.

Each book in this series has been wonderful, and somehow they have been refreshingly new while still being interconnected. While it is possible to read each of these as a standalone and not be completely lost, I highly recommend reading each one in the series for the full experience. After reading just one you will end up going back to pick up the rest anyways because it is so addictive! In this book we get to know Bistrita and Chara a little deeper. A war within the vampires is bound to be destructive but revenge is a strong force. Without giving anything away, I will tell you that the drama and suspense is heavier in this one more than the previous. This would be a perfect book if you enjoy intense paranormal books. Don’t forget to pick up the other books in the series as well to feed your addiction!

This is the second book in the Golden Age of Mystery Bookclub. After reading the first book, I knew that I needed to pick this one up! This author has a way of keeping you on your toes. I love a good mystery and especially love when I cannot figure out who it was. I have never read any books from Josephine Tey, but I think that is about to change. I could not put this book down! If you’re looking for a fast but exciting mystery, this is the book for you.

This is the fourth book in the Masters of the Consulates series, and what a ride it has been so far! Master Romano is in quite the predicament in this book. If you haven’t read any of the previous books in the series, you may be a little lost. It is possible to read them as standalones, but there is a lot of backstory that is continued from the previous stories. I will read paranormal anything, but this book has checked off so many boxes in my must-read list. Vampires and witches aren’t the best of friends, but when a witch named Raven is around Romano, a vampire, things are a little different. I don’t want to give anything away but know that the plot is absolutely amazing with the ‘we shouldn’t energy between these two. If you are looking for an incredible vampire romance with dramatic suspense, look no further. Give this book a chance and you will definitely be running back to pick up the first few books in the series!

This may just be my favorite by this author so far! The Masters of the Consulate series has been absolutely phenomenal only three books in. I definitely recommend reading these in the correct order as they do build upon each other. There are details in the previous two books that are important for this storyline as well although I’m sure it isn’t impossible to read them as a standalone if you’d like. The character development in such a short amount of time is unbelievable. Angel and Trentino have a very interesting relationship. Angel ends up between a rock and a hard place with the decisions that must be made. The plot is solid and unfolds at a quick but natural pace. If you are looking for a dark, fated mates vampire romance, don’t pass this one up!

What an incredible second installment of the Masters of the Consulate series! This was a wonderfully steamy read with the plot continuing from the first book. I do highly recommend reading these books in order as you may find yourself quite lost without the previous explanations. Delilah and Christian have an unexplainably strong chemistry that you can feel jumping right off the pages! Delilah is quite a strong FMC and I found her relatable. Christian wants to protect her and when push comes to shove, will he do the only thing he can to save her? I am truly excited to see where this series is going as I absolutely love the tropes and characters so far. If you’re looking for a paranormal romance that you can read in an afternoon, definitely pick this up! Don’t forget to get the first book in the series as well to get the full experience.

I have read a few of the later books in this series, and I loved them so much that I knew I had to start from the beginning. This author is definitely one of my favorites with the way they are able to craft such a compelling and intriguing story. I love everything paranormal, so this was definitely up my alley. It was really cool to go back to the beginning of this series to see where it all began. I wasn’t sure if I would enjoy it as much since I have read so many of the later ones, so I was really surprised to find that it was still amazing! It is fast paced quick read that is full of steamy chemistry with incredible characters. If you enjoy the paranormal world with vampires then please do yourself a favor and pick up this book. It only gets better as you move forward through the series!

Lost Hollow: A Small Town Science Fiction Romance (Alienville Series Book 1) by Donna S. Frelick. This is the first book in this series and I can’t wait for the 2nd book. This book kept me busy flipping pages until the very last page! I loved it! Its the story of Moria whose twin sister Claire has gone missing on her way to visit. She has vanished without a trace. Moria is left empty handed at every turn and everyone in town is helping her. The cute Chief of police is also helping, Seth Call is the chief and he has a pretty good idea of what happened to her sister. Its the same weird things that happen in this town but its very hard to explain to someone not from there. The chemistry between Moria & Seth is sizzling and throw in a little Sci Fi and you have got a Romantic Suspense that will keep you on the edge of your seat. Do yourself a favor and read this amazing book and get hooked just like I did!

The Predator was a great contemporary romance by Brooke May, who has a wonderful skill at her craft. What an amazing talent she has for developing characters that are so realistic and placing them into storylines that you can’t help but get invested in. This story starts in the present tense but not long into the story you go into the past and spend almost the entire story in the past, as our main character tells her best friend her life story. By the time you are about finished with the story, you get to come back to the present, and boy are there some unexpected huge surprises waiting for you! I was hooked from the moment I opened this book; I could not put it down I read this in one sitting and couldn’t help myself to jump right into the next book in the series. The author stands true to her writing style in that she works hard to create such dimensional characters that will have you laughing and crying right alongside them as you follow through their heartbreak and the battles that they go through. Every good romance must have some contention to bring you to the big finish, well this book brings you right to a cliffhanger, so be prepared! This is a perfect read, especially for these hot summer nights. @Brandy Rymer 07/2024

This was the first book I had picked up by this author, but the cover looked really cute, so I gave it a chance. I’m so glad that I did because it was such a wonderful experience! I’m from a small town, and the author seemed to have captured the feel of it perfectly. The very beginning grabbed my attention and refused to let go as I read about this second chance romance. Cameron and Jessie are fantastic characters that encounter some very dramatic situations that will fill you with suspense. I have enjoyed this writing style very much and will continue to look for more books by this author. I highly recommend picking it up if you enjoy romantic suspense novels about second-chance romances!

The Music That Ties Us (Love Ties Us Series) by Nicolette Terry – Review by Jessica Stone
Wow, my goodness to say I throughly enjoyed this book is a understatement. This book grabbed me and didn’t let go right from the start. This author did a wonderful job of making this book interesting and easy to relate to, for anyone who’s ever been in a bad relationship or even to anyone who is just starting to develop feelings for someone.
Cadence is so relatable at points in this book it’s like looking in a mirror, the ups and downs this girl faces with juggling her friendships long distance to trying to maintain her relationship is nothing else if not entertaining. I find myself eager to see her get riled up and angry because watching the explosions is fun. She’s witty, and funny, and quirky, while managing to have a softer vulnerable side that she doesn’t show often but when she does it’s a real treat.
Damien is on the outside, the epitome of a up and coming rockstar. But underneath his friendly, outgoing facade he’s full of emotions that he doesn’t share with anyone. He’s got a lot going on in his life and doesn’t quite know how to handle it all, which in turn just kind of shuts him down more. But thankfully throughout this book he really opens up once he meets cadence and they hit it off.
So here’s the run down, girl goes to concert with sister to see new band she loves,girls finance stays home because he’s to good for that sort of thing, girl meets hot moody rocker, guy and girl do not hit it off, but have weird attraction to one another nonetheless. Girl and guy end up seeing each other more and more, start to develop a friendship that’s sexually charged from the get go, unfortunately girl still has fiancé, whom treats her less than great a lot of the time. Girl starts to realize she deserves better and she’s unhappy and thus the story unfolds.
Though it’s definitely not as cut and dry as that, the relationships maintained and made in this book are nothing if not whole heartedly relatable. Between her and her sister and her long time home town friends to her strained relationship with her fiancé and her new budding friendship with her rockstar, I devoured every word this book had to offer. I cannot wait to read more from this author!

This is Book 3 of the series. I will tell you that this book kept my attention. I literally read it in a day and half. Sparky is at again, this time she was part of the murder but I don’t think she was suppose to be. The characters in this book are a little kooky. Tootsie is up for an audition and that means all the “important helpers are there”. However you need to read in between the lines to find some people and there reasoning for being there, at least in my opinion. I honestly can’t wait for the next book. Sparky is an amazing kid and isn’t so sure of herself. She tends to get into a lot of trouble with any and everything she does. She has two wonderful adults “looking” after her. She has a few friends, lets be real, her only friend is Bobby. But there is a new comer, Cornelius and he might just give Bobby a run for his money when it comes to Sparky.

This is a series that I have enjoyed reading from the first book I picked up. This is the eleventh book in this series. I highly suggest reading the previous books as well. They are just as great as this one. I enjoy how the author is able to pull me into the character’s world from the start. I also enjoy the attention to details that this author puts into her book to make them come to life. This book is no different. This is a well written story that is full of steam, vampires and has a dark twist to it. The characters are creative and connectable. They add so much to the story which makes it easy and entertaining to read. I enjoyed the growth throughout the story which also made it hard to put down. I really enjoyed this book and look forward to the next book in this series.

I cannot recommend this book enough! I was hooked from the beginning and had an extremely hard time putting it down when I had to do adult things and stuff. I laughed, I cried, I was heartbroken, I was fixed…I went through so many emotions while reading this book and I want you to experience them too! I’m a huge sucker for good character development and let me just say…Terry has outdone herself with her characters. Both MC’s are relatable but Cadence really spoke to my heart on so many levels. I cannot wait to get my hands on another of Terry’s books. PICK THIS UP NOW!! Reviewed by @meggs1717

This is the fourth book in the Tally and the Angel series. These books are written for middle school aged children and are great adventures which are entertaining for children of all ages. I love the authors attention to detail and I’m this book we focus on Greek Mythology. We are back with Tally and her angel who we meet in book one and since then we have been on several adventures and this one is no exception. Tally’s angel is there to guide and protect her from danger and is a sense of comfort to Tally since the passing of her mum. Tally has always listened to her angels warnings and cautions however things maybe changing. As Tally is getting older she starts to notice boys and when she is visiting the greek islands with her father one boy called Theo catches her eye. However things aren’t what they seem and what unfolds is an adventure that has danger, excitement, mythological beings and an important decision which could change the relationship between Tally and her angel for good. I do highly recommend these books and my son loves me reading them to him. I would recommend reading them in order so you can get a complete understanding of Tally and her angel and how they came to be together and the adventures they have already been on together.

The next installment in the series and it did not disappoint! I love the homage Levinson is paying to different murder-mystery legends throughout this series. Lexie is a favorite character of mine. I love her grit and determination to find out whodunit. There are so many twists and turns in this novel that I got whiplash! I love Levinson’s writing style and the way she develops her characters. She also keeps her plot line on point and moving. I will say that I found this plot to be a little complex, but I loved it. If you are looking for something that will make you sit down and think while you’re reading, then pick up this one! Reviewed by @meggs1717

It was another engaging story of tally and her little guardian angle that helps her along the way. tally is a very strong-willed girl that kind of does her own thing and seem to always get in a little trouble but ends up winning in the end. And once again this story did the same. This book was very well written and developed with the characters that it making you really feel like you know them personally. This one sweeps us off to Greece and learning about today’s culture, but also, it has a little Greek Mythology twisted into this story. this book was very intriguing, and I couldn’t put it down like the other ones, highly recommend thou you start at the beginning.

I really enjoyed this ‘what if’, second chance story and it kept me captivated throughout. Josie is given the chance for a ‘do-over’ of her teenage years, but whether she makes the same mistakes again is up to her. Josie’s life revolves around her children and her career, and is going through a divorce. When her husband threatens to take the children and then with her business at risk of failing, she suffers a panic attack. She then finds herself waking up thirty years in the past, in her teenage bedroom. She then has to relive her senior year at high school, which she found emotionally devastating the first time round. That year she cut her father out of her life, turned away the boy she loved and caused her best friend to sever ties. Josie is determined to get back to her own time and to her children. She tries to fix the mistakes she made, hoping that righting those wrongs will send her back to the present. But then she’s tempted by her high school crush to take a second chance at love. However, this may result in her losing everything she has in her future. The likeable and relatable Josie has a dilemma and I felt invested in her story. This is an enjoyable and engaging read which kept me happily turning the pages.

I may have found my favorite in this series. Master Bistrita and Chara’s story is one of fiesty independence, spitfire, and who’s in control. Alas, book 11 of the series, this means we are close to the end of the series. I have followed this since book 1. The best way to read this series is in order so that you can understand what’s going on. I do like how the characters start to tie things together. As the story has gone along, all the Masters and their mates have followed into the next story and made an appearance. This story is fast-paced, lots of paranormal action. There’s even some steamy romance. There are lots of twists mixed in the story. I can’t wait for the final book. This is a must read if you like dark vampire reads.

This is the third book of the series. It is a MMF romance. It is set in the 1800’s Los Angeles. Matty goes to live with Nico after Matty’s father beats him again, things start to heat up between them two. The two boys get separated, and after sometime Nico meets Eden. The two decide to marry, and that’s when they run into Matty.
Having read and enjoyed the first book in this series I was looking forward to being back with amateur sleuth Professor Lexie Driscoll, and I was not disappointed. Once again I wished I could be a member of her ‘Golden Age of Mystery Bookclub’! This time they are discussing Josephine Tey’s (a favourite author of mine) books. However, Lexie gets a surprise when her sister Gayle turns up and is terrified for her life. Gayle was a witness to her boyfriend’s murder and now fears his killers could come for her. When a man’s body is found in Lexie’s backyard, Gayle runs. Lexie decides to investigate and is determined to discover the truth. She soon learns that the bookclub members have secrets. Lexie has to contend with more murders and unexpected revelations as she investigates. I was once again drawn into Lexie’s world, along with quirky characters and an intriguing whodunnit. The descriptive narrative brings both the characters and the setting to life, making me feel immersed in the story. The plot of Josephine Tey’s novels are cleverly weaved into the storyline and help Lexie in her investigations. The plot kept me guessing due to the numerous red herrings, which I enjoy. An enjoyable and engaging cozy mystery and I look forward to being back with the bookclub soon.
