Love Rinkside (The Playmakers Series) Audiobook by G. K. Brady – Review by Micalah Weatherholtz

/0 Comments/in /by

Although it was a quick listen, Love Rinkside was a laugh out loud funny, well written, hockey romance. Although the guy plays hockey and it’s important to him it wasn’t the center point of the novel. The first chapter had me laughing out loud. I loved the relationship between the MMC and the FMC, and it started out pretty intense for them both. I think both voices were a perfect fit for the characters and really brought them to life! I am definitely interested in reading/listening to more of the novels in this series.

Red (Modern-Day Fairy Tale, #2)Red by M.K. Harkins
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Merilee had messed up on her mission. She had been sent to Earth to help Ashley Adams find her soulmate, Harry James, who was a famous singer. Posing as Laura Vanetta, Merilee had become best friends with Ashley, keeping her safe from her stepmother, who had attempted to kill her. She had spent time with Harry’s best friend, George Sparks. George had fallen in love with Merilee. Ashley’s Guardian Angel, Zuriel, was furious because he now had to work with Merilee and Fannetta to keep Ashley safe from her stepmother and help George be open to love again. Merilee and Zuriel are not happy about working together.

George’s new roommate, Hunter, was desperate to get George out of his depression. Now at the University of California, George still wasn’t over, not knowing why Laura was just gone. After convincing him to attend a party, George spiraled further into depression by drinking every day and missing his classes for two weeks. Hunter warned him that he was on academic probation and was risking his dream of being a veterinarian. Hunter convinced him to talk to a counselor. Meadow was going to help him move forward with life.

Lily was staying at an Airbnb and worried she was going to fail with her plans. Her mother had wanted her to stay nearby and go to medical school. However, Lily didn’t want to be a doctor for people. She wanted to work with animals and decided to leave Washington to take the veterinary program at UCLA. While at Target, Ashley overhears Lily talking to the cashier. She offers Lily a room in her house.

During Ashley and Harry’s first anniversary, George meets Lily. They had so many things in common and agreed to meet at a coffee house for a date. The date goes well and extends all day. At the end of the date, they kiss passionately. Suddenly, George stops the kiss and tells her he has to leave and can’t see her again. Lily is hurt.

Red is full of suspense that is filled with tension on every page. Merilee and Zuriel seem to have a love-hate relationship that grows the longer they try to intervene in George’s downward spiral and refusal to admit his feelings for Lily. The emotional turmoil is easy to understand. There are some darker themes; however, the romance is appropriate for high school-age readers. This is a five star novel capable of being a standalone, despite being the second in the series.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Now, I feel that I’ll give a little warning: This is a graphic horror. If you aren’t into that type of book, you might want to pass. If you like this type of genre, here we go. I love it. Reminded me of the days when Stephen King had more gore in his stories. I found these stories good. I came in expecting horror and thrills; I got them in spades. Excellent read with lots of action, descriptions. I found the writing to be well-done. It’s one of the better horror novels I’ve read in a long time.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Raccoon Reunion was the bedtime book of choice and I will admit, it did not disappoint. It was the perfect length for bedtime routine. My daughter’s favorite part of the book was when the raccoons enjoyed a game of Marco Polo as she enjoyed reading “Marco, Polo, Polo” she explained to me. I thought the story and illustrations were really cute. I am someone that makes plans or dreads social settings only to realize it was exactly what I needed… I think that Rocky learned this as well. Raccoon Reunion was a really fun children’s book.

The Handshake Agreement: An Age Gap, Second Chance Romance

I overall enjoyed the book. Still confused about the timeline of the story and Anne’s reaction to something that happened.

Declan is an insufferable Alpha in every way but under that armor he wears is a guy with a huge heart and loves fiercely when it happens.

Anne has had her heart broken more times than most people could handle and I think those are what caused her to react the way she did to some of the situations.

Looking forward to see what Ms. Akinosho has in store for us.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This Time Around is a story about returning to your past and the potential to make changes. Josie is a 47-year-old woman, a mother, a business owner, and in the process of divorce. She is relatable as she deals with all the challenges life brings her way. After she has a panic attack, she awakens in her teenage bedroom, about to start her senior year of high school. Is this a time to change the “what ifs” or to repeat the past? Josie’s character draws you into her adult and teen life because she is realistic and understandable. Most of us have those experiences in high school that we know we could have handled differently now that we have the insight of living in the adult world. She handles everything carefully, trying not to give herself away to her friends and classmates that she is 47 in a teen’s body. With the opportunity to make changes in her past, does Josie change her future? If you enjoy a bit of time traveling with women’s fiction, this is a great read that explores the “what ifs” of life.
I look forward to reading more from this author in the future.

So sweet, I guess these are now called meet cute romances. Oh, so adorable that I felt a cavity form. I loved these two together. An adventure that brought them together for a sweet romance. The chemistry was fun and playful. I found myself giggling out loud. My grandson kept asking what’s funny. I can’t tell a 10 yr old boy why I’m laughing at a romance. It’s a quick read that’s very entertaining. Great writing and wonderful characters.

Red (Modern-Day Fairy Tale, #2)Red by M.K. Harkins
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

An engaging modern take on the ‘Little Red Riding Hood’ story.
Lily is happy to head off to college, leaving the confines of her over-protective mum’s house. George is a handsome college student, nursing a broken heart and unable to move on from Laura. Sparks fly when these two meet, but will George ever be able to stop pining for his lost love in time to see Lily as his soulmate?
Add in a couple of fairy godmothers-in-training and an arrogant, annoying Guardian angel, trying to fix the mess that they made in the first book, whilst keeping everyone safe from a vengeful person from George’s past.
This book continues straight on from the first book in the series, Ashes, and whilst it is a stand-alone book, the background of the characters’ situations from Ashes would help to understand where they are today.

I enjoyed reading this romance story. This is a newer author for me which I enjoy their writing style as well as their creative characters that are written with a lot of heart. I enjoyed the author’s use of details to bring the characters to life as well. This is a shorter story but it sure packs a punch in the romance department. It is a well written story where the characters pull you into their world from the start. Drew and Katie are great characters. They have one night of fun that gets cut short by a dog attack. Now Drew wants a second chance to make it up to Katie. Problem is she is done with guys, will she give him another chance? I enjoyed watching their growth and their chemistry. It made the story easy to read and entertaining as well. This is a fast paced, engaging story that you don’t want to miss. A story that is hard to put down and one I really enjoyed reading. I highly recommend this book.

This is the first time I have read anything from this author. I really like the cover of the book, however I did have a hard time getting into the story itself. This is definitely a fantasy book with some romance. I honestly just really wasn’t into it at all. I think the only part that I liked really was when I first started reading it and it mentioned that Enkidu was to be raised by wolves and so I was getting into it but then I started reading about King Gilgamesh and how he wanted to be remembered. I feel like I need to restart the book and try to go to the end of the book. Hopefully, I can edit this review later with a completed reread of the book.

George has had his heart broken, but little did he know it was by a matchmaking fairy godmother Merilee. Now George is in a rut and can’t seem to heal from the girl he loved. Merilee is ordered to head back to earth and fix the mess she created.

Lily is anxious about college in a sense, she can handle the education but she finds herself in limbo with where to stay. Fate has a way of giving her an opportunity she can’t refuse and little does she know it will bring George into her life. The chemistry between them feels right but can she trust it?

This was a delightful read. I thought the emotions for each of the characters translated really well in the story. I like how the characters from the first book and this one are a big part of the story. Can’t wait for Hunter’s story.

Finding Love (Clumsy Little Hearts Trilogy Book 2)Finding Love by Julie Navickas
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Finding Love is the second book in the Clumsy Little Hearts series by Julie Navickas. This is a nice romance story and was an easy read, I have not read the first book yet and this did not take away from the enjoyment of the book. The story follows Real Estate Agent Rachel, who is recently single after her boyfriend breaks up with her, and restaurant owner Miguel, who is struggling to make his vision of his new business a reality. When the two have a chance meeting at Miguel’s restaurant, the sparks fly, and the romance blossoms between them. However, there are aspects of both of their pasts that are getting in the way and might mean that they struggle to get their happy ever after. I liked this book, I found the characters to be endearing and I enjoyed the dynamic between Rachel and her siblings. This book hinted at what was going to happen in the next installment and I am looking forward to seeing how Rose’s story plays out. I would recommend this book to readers who enjoy a nice romance.

My first book to read from this author, and it is the fifth in a series, but if they all read like this one it is easy to read them all as standalones. I will read more to find out if this is the case.<br />An intriguing read where we meet Storm and her 2 best friends cousins Marcus and Barrington, as children they sent lots of time together as adulthood arrives, the cousins are expected to do their family duty, marry and produce heirs to continue the family line and look after their money, Storm does not fit into the family, from the view of the older family members. But the cousins have other ideas. This is thrown sideways when Storm is taken hostage whilst on a DEA job.<br />Can the cousins get their girl back to how she was before, can they secure her heart, can she cope with the type of relationship they need. <br />Family, stalking, PTSD, MFM, DsD dynamic relationship. <br />A hot and steamy edge to a book that touches on the slightly darker side of human nature. <br />

This is book 5 in the Central Florida Stories. These books are very good reads with just amount of danger, steamy romance and twists and turns that keep you gripped from beginning to end. There is an element of BDSM and the Dom/Sub relationship in this book as well which adds an extra element to the story.
Storm, Marcus and Barrington were friends all their life and their bond grew stronger with both men developing feelings for her..however their families harsh words put an end to any hopes they had of exploring things together further as Storm runs away to her dream job.
However the dream wasn’t exactly what she expected and when a mission to take down a Columbian Drug Lord goes wrong Storm is left with more than just physical scars.
When Marcus and Barrington find out she has returned they now what to claim her as their sub and finally protect her from any harm and danger.
But when the past returns and threatens to drag Storm back into the life she has before will Marcus and Barrington be able to protect her.
This is a second chance romance where the happily ever after isn’t smooth sailing and the 3 of them have a load of obstacles to overcome if they want to be together. This book is definately another page turner in the great series.

While this is the fourth book in a series, it also can be read as a standalone. For fans of the Percy Jackson books, this one is similar and you’ll find yourself drawn into it and enjoying the storyline like I did. I’ll definitely be reading the other books in this series. It’s a great YA read for middle schoolers. Tally and her dad are vacationing in Greece. Tally makes a couple new friends and has an interesting adventure. There were some surprising twists I never thought to imagine! Definitely recommend this book.

When I first started this this book, it seemed meh. Then I got really into it and made me think, what I would do if I was transported back to my senior year in high school? Would I make changes to affect my future self? This was a great story. I couldn’t wait to see what would happen. The story line was well written and thought out. Even though Josie made some slight adjustments that affected the future, it righted itself out in the end. She wasn’t the hormonal teenager who wasn’t thinking about anything but what she had going on in her life. She used that 40-something year old to thoughtfully make decisions. While she was dearly missing her children, you could definitely tell the shift in the book when she wasn’t as fretful over getting back to them and focused on the last couple of months of her senior year. She has the same Aubrey and Ben. Maybe even the happier ever after part. I cannot wait to see what may come next after this book. Definitely going to keep an eye out on future books.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Sometimes you can pick up a book in a series out of order and still be able to connect in quickly. This is not one of those. I highly suggest reading book one before you start this one. I did not and it took several chapters for me to get a feel for what was going on.

In addition to that, where this story begins is after a major event, so you should have feelings about what is happening to the characters, but without knowing what they’ve gone through previously and having that build-up, it’s difficult to connect with the characters right away. And that’s not a writing problem, it’s just a reading experience problem because I didn’t read them in order.

There is a lot going on in this story, so you have to pay attention. Although, the world-building is good. The action, drama, and suspense keep things interesting.

If you start with the first book, as I should have done, this will make a great reading adventure for those who love Urban Fantasy with a twist.

Red (Modern-Day Fairy Tale, #2)Red by M.K. Harkins
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

“Red” is an enchanting and engaging read that weaves together elements of fairy tales, romance, and self-discovery. The story is full of lovable characters, witty dialogue, and exciting plot twists. The blending of fairy tales and modern-day settings is innovative and captivating. The idea of a fairy godmother and guardian angel working together adds a fresh spin to traditional mythological elements.

Lily and George are relatable and likable protagonists. Their chemistry is undeniable, and their personalities shine through in their interactions. The banter between characters is witty and amusing, adding a lighthearted touch to the story. (For example: “Some people think I go overboard. Especially the time when I drove sixty miles to rescue a squirrel,” or “George is like a dysfunctional hypothalamus. A hypo what?”

The playlist at the beginning of the novel is a nice added touch.

“This Time Around” is a captivating and emotional read that explores the complexities of second chances, self-discovery, and the power of love. Kimberly Packard has woven a thought-provoking narrative that delves into the intricacies of Josie’s past and present, making it difficult to put the book down.

Josie’s relatable struggles and inner turmoil make her a well-developed and endearing protagonist. Her character growth throughout the story is impressive, as she learns to confront her past mistakes and prioritize her relationships.

The book has an engaging plot- the time-travel element adds a unique twist to the story, keeping the reader invested in Josie’s journey as she navigates her past to fix her mistakes.

Even with the cliched elements of the “high school sweetheart trope,” this book is still a really fun read. I also really connected with Josie’s life in the past, growing up in the 90’s (Choose Your Own Adventure books, Back to the Future, etc.).

I was locked into the story from the first sentence. Like many others I’ve never read The Epics of Gilgamesh so I didn’t know what to expect. However, it was an amazing adventure. This is definitely a story for adults. There are trigger warmers in the beginning of the book so definitely take a look at that before you embark on this journey.
The author did a wonderful job with this retelling. You really get to understand the heart and soul of Gilgamesh and Enkidu. I appreciated the politics and the the tactics it took to rule. If you enjoy mythology, fantasy, and epic tales of history you’ll definitely enjoy this one.

An enjoyable and engaging contemporary romance set within the ‘Club Shattered Embrace’ world. The storyline revolves around a steamy love triangle involving Justine, Jordan and Derek. Derek Ingram is an ex Navy SEAL, who having joined Ingram Enterprises is now a billionaire corporate mogul. Whilst playing at the BDSM club he finds himself attracted to two very different but independent women. Justine is using the club to help her with her doctoral in authenticity, as Club Shattered Embrace is perfect for people-watching. She never expected to get involved with the emotionally distant playboy Derek. He teaches a class on power dynamics but the lines between academic and personal get blurred.

Meanwhile event planner Jordan loves going to the club to experience adventure, passion and pleasure, with multiple partners. One of those is Derek but she starts to want more than a casual relationship with him. Derek thought he had left danger behind him, but then the head of a powerful family, Lucian targets his brother Zachary and his sub. Derek needs to take Lucian down whilst keeping those he loves safe, including Justine and Jordan. As usual the BDSM Club Shattered Embrace is brought to life through the descriptive narrative. The characters are likeable and relatable. The romance between those in the love triangle came across in the story. Whilst their chemistry sizzled off the page and led to some steamy scenes. This is an entertaining series.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

King Gilgamesh is the leader of the great city of Uruk, he is God touched and almost invincible and has grand dreams for his future, he wants to rule all the lands between the waters and have his name remembered for all time for his deeds, however, this does mean that he has to create a carefully crafted image and maintain it. Enkidu is a man with no past who wakes up in the wilds and learns its lessons and all it has to teach him, until one day when he is given food by a woman and has to leave and fulfil his duty to the Gods.

King Gilgamesh has more than proven his might and ability to build and maintain the jewel of the land and his home city alongside his beautiful and fierce Queen, but she feels that he is not living in the present enough and works with the Gods to bring balance to King Gilgamesh and this is where he meets Enkidu, although their first meeting does not go quite as planned. As the days pass and King Gilgamesh has to deal with disruptive Kings, skirmishes on the borders and the lingering threats from Gods and Goddesses alike, he is also both frustrated and intrigued by the new addition to his household while also striving to preserve that which he has built both physically and metaphorically.

Behind the scenes though, a Goddess feels spurned and that her plans are not coming to fruition, and this will not do, but will it be the Goddess, King Gilgamesh, or another player in the game who will succeed and gain everything their hearts desire? This is a retelling of a famous legend where court intrigue can both help and hinder lives, while also twisting them in this epic with hints of romance within.

Guess you will just have to read Storm, Marcus and Barrington story to find out ?
