Evil Sushi by C.A. King My rating: 4 of 5 stars Huge fan of C. A. King so of course I’m gonna read the first in her new series. Kind of an odd start though. People get more ecofriendly but caring about methane from cows so fish becomes more popular. But because the population has […]
Virtue & Vice by Phoebe Alexander My rating: 4 of 5 stars Phoebe Alexander knows how to write romance. You want slow burn? She’s got you. But Virtue & Vice has you from the first paragraph. Moon and Katja have an undeniable passion and a great vision for Spicetopia. And who doesn’t love the idea […]
Out Bad by Janice M. Whiteaker My rating: 4 of 5 stars First off I think Gwen is way too good for Joe. He’s kind of a baby about not having ever been introduced to her before, like is his best friend’s job to introduce him to all his in-laws. Secondly, I really didn’t like […]
Ice Crown by Kay L Moody My rating: 4 of 5 stars This book isn’t super long but the world we are introduced to is absolutely fascinating so I’m hoping for a long series. There wasn’t as much detail as I would have liked in the first book of a fantasy scifi world but you […]
Tails Always Wins by C.A. King My rating: 4 of 5 stars I am a huge fan of C. A. King so when I saw this was the start of a new series, I was very excited. The first chapter was pretty metaphor heavy and got dark quickly. This book seemed to have more political […]
Eternity by Sarah Biglow My rating: 5 of 5 stars The supernatural aspects of this series are fabulous. The characters are wonderful, flawed, determined, and complex. But the most important thing about this series and this book in general is that the themes and lessons can be talked about in the context of what is […]
Sweetest Obsessions: A Contemporary Romance Boxed Set Collection by Jane Anthony My rating: 5 of 5 stars With a title like Sugar and Spice, and Phoebe Alexander as the author, I knew this would get delicious. Jolie and Cy have an instant attraction but as they work together at a family amusement park, things can […]
Sanctuary by Sarah Biglow My rating: 5 of 5 stars I’m seriously digging these characters and this world. There are some bits (like a fast growing hybrid baby) that are reminiscent of other books I’ve read, but I say that in the BEST way possible. It’s like how your favorite books make you think about […]
Legacy of Luck by Christy Nicholas My rating: 4 of 5 stars I’ve read a few of the Druid’s Brooch books and one or two others that had to do with Travelers. I was very excited to read this because I find their culture very interesting and it always adds a bit of dramatic and […]
The Girls Across The Bay by Emerald O’Brien My rating: 4 of 5 stars The pacing for this book was a bit meh. Similar aspects of detective/police/journalism seemed rushed in one part and nit picked at others. It could be one of those things where the formatting is deliberate and only becomes apparent on a […]
Captivity by Sarah Biglow My rating: 5 of 5 stars With Lorelei being a bounty hunter and Aiden having a huge chunk of his memory missing, it was very easy to get invested in this story. I can’t think of another one I’ve read where one of the characters was a phoenix so it was […]
The Trouble with Paradise by Cynthia Hamilton My rating: 5 of 5 stars With even more page turning suspense and a little extra romance for Madeline and Mike, the fourth installment of the Madeline Dawkins Mysteries is fantastic. Two different women with dead husbands need help for almost opposite reasons. One isn’t convinced of her […]
Blackbird’s Deliverance by Lisette Kristensen My rating: 4 of 5 stars For the most part I have really enjoyed this series. It has been a thrill ride from the first word and this book is no exception. The detail pulls you in without getting too wordy and the twists punch you in the gut and […]
Whom Shall I Kiss… An Earl, A Marquess, or A Duke? by Laura A. Barnes My rating: 4 of 5 stars I loved the fact that Sidney has such an analytical mind and is putting it to use in order to expose the men who ruin reputations of women for fun. It was a bit […]
Michael’s Heart by Lori Thomas Harrington My rating: 3 of 5 stars Michael’s Heart grabbed my attention from the synopsis. As an amateur musician, I’ve always associated music with emotion and often judge a piece on what emotions and how intense those emotions are. While Colbie, Lyric, and other characters are all important, it seemed […]
The Gauntlet: The Soppranaturale Series by Ashley Pagano My rating: 4 of 5 stars I really like the idea of supernatural beings living together in a hotel. It’s kind of like a mix between Altered Carbon and the adults from Harry Potter. With that those types of shenanigans bouncing around in my brain, this particular […]
Gumshoe And The Mysterious Mushrooms by Laura Hawks My rating: 5 of 5 stars This book feels like Teen fiction and cozy mystery wrapped into one. Gumshoe puts me in mind of a mix of Salem and Columbo. Mia has a whole truckload of unpleasant dumped on her for her birthday but girl doesn’t miss […]
Queen of the Warrior Bees by Jean Gill My rating: 5 of 5 stars Right off the bat there were so many things that intrigued me about this book. I absolutely adore bees so just reading the words warrior bees made me think “I need this book right now”. And I was not disappointed. Mielitta […]
Girl Trap by Cynthia Hamilton My rating: 5 of 5 stars Cynthia Hamilton really knows how to grab me from just a synopsis. How could I possibly say no to two separate, seemingly straight forward cases of missing persons? I tore through this book to get to the part where Madeline reaches the Catholic school […]
Never Let Me Go by A.M. Myers My rating: 5 of 5 stars I have read all of the books in this series and it makes me soooo happy that each new book is just as good if not better than the last. Each male main character has faults and flaws that make him realistic […]
Hidden Magic: A Sanctuary Chronicles Novella by India Kells My rating: 5 of 5 stars I love the pace of this book. You get immediate tension and the feeling something is wrong from Brant. He feels that deep down in your gut, imminent doom type of wrong and of course it’s somehow involving the love […]
A High Price to Pay by Cynthia Hamilton My rating: 5 of 5 stars I thoroughly enjoyed Spouse Trap and was so looking forward to this book. Madeline is so much more sure of herself and I loved seeing how much she had matured as a character. She’s not throwing a minor pity party anymore […]
Smoke & Mirrors by C.L. Schneider My rating: 5 of 5 stars As soon as I read the description of Smoke and Mirrors, I knew all plans were off until I finished reading. A serial killer and clues to follow that are too good to be true? Nothing gets past Dahlia for long but the […]
Smoke & Mirrors by C.L. Schneider My rating: 5 of 5 stars As soon as I read the description of Smoke and Mirrors, I knew all plans were off until I finished reading. A serial killer and clues to follow that are too good to be true? Nothing gets past Dahlia for long but the […]
Enemies of the Desert by Lisette Kristensen My rating: 5 of 5 stars Blackbird has come up against her arch enemy and as awesome as she is, Salena is no joke and a well fleshed out villain. I always think they’re the best when you find yourself saying, “I don’t like it, but they have […]
Spouse Trap by Cynthia Hamilton My rating: 5 of 5 stars I fell in love with Madeline immediately. She has the perfect life and is devoted to her husband, Steve, but one pinch of jealousy from him seems to have a cascade effect including her waking up naked with no idea what happened. Steve somehow […]
Trickster’s Hunt by Carrie Whitethorne My rating: 4 of 5 stars I am a sucker for anything related to Egypt so this book grabbed my interest immediately. I kept picturing Rhett as Ardeth Bay and it was fantastic. For the most part I really enjoyed this book and am absolutely looking forward to the other. […]
MaddJax Series, Boxed Series Set, Book One & Book Two by Deborah Ann My rating: 5 of 5 stars For sure my kind of book. It’s one that pulls you in and the next thing you know, one more chapter has become 4 AM and oh well I’m almost done so I’ll finish it now. […]
Beachcomber Enemy by Stephanie Queen My rating: 5 of 5 stars The adventures (and trouble) Dane and Shana get into will take you on a wild ride every time. At the 10th book in the series, I was kind of surprised I was looking forward to it as much as I was. Occasionally I get […]
Impact by Autumn Sand My rating: 4 of 5 stars Manny has had a difficult life and hides his pain behind a tough guy facade but when his childhood love comes back into his life, his weakness for her is on full display and that is gonna cause a lot of problems. I wasn’t super […]
