Critical Care (Chase Care Series Book 6) by R.L. Dunn – Review by Angela Shirley

Critical Care (Chase Care Book 6)Critical Care by R.L. Dunn
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Tim Holland was assigned to look after his colleagues daughter but he was not accepting to met a sassy nurse, once he returns back to DC he wants to keep the relationship going but it is always hard with a long distance relationship.

Willow has finally finished her travelling nurses contract and back in DC and after the conversations with Tim the relationship seems to be moving fast, although they are still busy they find time for each other. When an opportunity comes up for Willow to go to San Diego Tim encourages her to take it as part of her career advancement.

Tim discovers as part of his job a mystery with patients dying unexpectantly and as he and the rest of Chase investigate lives become threatened and a major illness seems like it will derail Chase care and Security.

This is the sixth book in this series and omg it is just as thrilling as the other books I have read in this series. Tim has cropped up in the other books and have always wondered his story and voila he it is. Willow is a great character for Tim as she is full of sass and is not to afraid to give her opinion which a refreshing avenue in the story.

The story opens up the pharmaceutical industry as what could happen with short stock and supply and demand which is just as riveting as the story itself. The twists and turns in the story had me gripped and reading well into the night to finish it.

I enjoyed the interaction as always of the secondary characters who are becoming like fiends as I read more of the stories related to Critical Care. Can’t wait to read the next book in this series.

Hood of Sedna (Stevie Capot Chronicles) by Mina Skye – Review by Deborah Joseph

Hood of Sedna (Stevie Capot Chronicles Book 1)Hood of Sedna by Mina Skye
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

This is a multi POV story between Stevie, the cousins Sebastian and Gabriel, Shaw, and Jamison (only short POV for him) Some chapters have multi POV but are clearly labeled whose POV it is.)

Hood of Sedna by Mina Skye is the first book from this author that I have read. It has magic, shifters, fae, and more…. All the fun fantasy stuff one could ask for rolled up into one book. On top of the fantasy, there is also love, drama, and betrayal.

Stevie is a reincarnation of a beloved princess named Stephanie who was murdered. When she was reborn she didn’t remember anything at all from her past, not even her name, and moved around a lot due to the fact she never aged. The first family that brought her in when she was reborn is who gives her a name and also teaches her how to steal.

Sebastian and Gabriel both love Stephanie. Sebastian’s love for her was so strong that after she died he had his memory of her erased, this has caused some trouble for the two cousins since and many deaths.

Rowan Shaw is a bounty hunter who was tasked by the prince to find Stevie and keep her safe, but he is not who people think he is.

Jamison- a marshall who wants Stevie behind bars for theft.

There are a lot of twists throughout and it ends in a cliffhanger. Some parts of this story left me a bit confused and there were a bit too many POVs in some chapters but was an easy, quick, read.

~This is not my typical type of book I read so while I give it 3 stars others may enjoy it more and give it 5~

The Reluctant Spy by Lois Wickstrom – Review by Manda Kelly

Reluctant SpyReluctant Spy by Lois June Wickstrom
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Lois Wickstrom has once again taken me back to being a young person. I so very much enjoyed this very adorable chapter book. It was full of amazing characters, a little mystery, friendship, loyalty, acceptance, and all the things that being a kid encompass. Lois has written the story so beautifully that illustrations aren’t necessary. If you’ve got a young person, ages 7-10 (or any age, really, if they’re interested, of course) I highly recommend this book (like allllll her other books) be added to your library. She is an amazing author.

I just wanted to lick the cover and make it mine 😱🔥🤣🤷‍♀️🙈

Naseer and Jade are a couple you’ll either love , hate or love to hate 🤣😉🙈I know there were times that they irritated me a little but their strong points outshone those weak moments 🥰

Naseer is a a grumpy , miserable but delectable speciMAN and it would seem he had a weak spot where Jade is concerned because let’s face it how does one resist this kind , loving and beautiful girl ?

Both have been through a lot and have scars but they’re each others healing balm and darn it they kept me on my toes 🤣 but they’ve got a special place in my heart 😉

Knight In Peril (A Jorja Knight Private Investigator Mystery #6)Knight In Peril by Alice Bienia
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I just love when I read a book and it actually feels like I’m right there in that very location with the characters ! It’s like I just want to grab my passport , pack my bags and go 😉

Jorja arrives at Istanbul airport and her best friend isn’t there to meet her and when she arrives at the hotel all her things are there and nobody can reach her and nobody has heard from her in a few days 🤷‍♀️😱 has Gabriella been abducted !?

The hunt is on for Gabriella but Jorja has her hands full with a foreign country , foreign language , strange culture and customs , bribery , corruption , greed , lies and dangerous characters .

Despite the feelings of anxiousness , fear , suspense and everything else there was a strong sense of the value of friendship and friends are the family we choose , our family not by blood and Jorja went all out for hers , she’s someone I’d want in my tribe 😉

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I love Lois Wickstrom books. I haven’t read one I didn’t love. She has a way of telling stories that just draw you in. As an adult, I find that an amazing quality in an author. My nephew is 4 and he adores her stories, we look at the pictures and talk about what the story means, and even though he is usually not 100% clear on whats going on, he still enjoys them. I absolutely suggest this book should
be in any classroom library.

Hidden Mischief (Shattered Embrace #1)Hidden Mischief by Alyndra Quinn
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

If you enjoy a Dom/sub read with a little bit of a mystery, and some sizzling scenes, you’re absolutely going to want to read this book! You get some BDSM, Dom/sub dynamic, steamy romance. Alpha male mentality, humor, lots of banter, strong and independent but submissive Female lead. Lots of spicy encounters, and some slow burn romance. Definitely an intriguing mix of characters with lots of different elements. It makes for an engrossing read. I for one cannot wait for the second book. Definitely suggest it, if you’re into the spicier side of things.

Isla Vaughn is an amazing author, and has quickly become one of my favorites. The Hidden Valley Elite series is one of the best series I’ve read in a long time. I love the characters, the world building, the storytelling is amazing. I truly feel like I’m in high school again when I’m reading. I love Riley and Cole’s story. I loved the animosity and the buildup and the everything about it. If you love the drama, the heat, the everything, you’ll love this story. I absolutely suggest this book (and all the others) for you to read! You wont be disappointed!!!

Fearless Love (The Bennetts of Langston Falls, #5)Fearless Love by K.G. Fletcher
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

What a sweet romance! This is the second one in the series I’ve read, and as always the dad is my favorite. This one definitely tugged at my hearstrings a little bit, and I loved how the FMC was an absolute spitfire who took no one’s BS. The MMC was a sweetheart, even if a little dense sometimes. Pretty much fade to black/closed door for spice levels, but sometimes that can be a bit refreshing. Still recommend, as well as the other books in the series.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

When I saw this I couldn’t help but scream “ SIGN ME Up“ I’m like the HIG queen 😉🤗 and hello it was released on HUG DAY 😉🤗

So I got more than I bargained for and that’s not a bad thing especially if you like MMF 😉

Weston has had a rough time of late and he’s basically left with the roof over his head but desperate times call for desperate measures and he needs to find himself some housemates to keep said roof over his head …..

Interviews start and there’s 2 promising candidates and it would seem more boxes are being ticked than just housemates 🔥😉

Petra and her 4 legged family member are licking their wounds after walking away from a relationship and they need a roof over their head and space to breathe ,heal and do her writing

Callum can cook so I’d take him in on that alone 🤣he’s looking to make his way on life and in his career and I don’t think he was bargaining on the distraction of his housemates ……

These 3 special peeps and their canines kept me well entertained 🤣😉❣️📚

I know it’s still early in the year I know but this is going to be one of my favourite reads of the year !

Just a fair warning warning don’t read this on an empty stomach or when you have a craving for a sweet treat because this read is filled with delectable and delicious temptation 🥰😉

I loved being Ireland and being in the bakery with Claire and her family and she’s been working there since a wee one and it’s only natural for her to want to try new things and I get her mums reservations and watching them at loggerheads made me sad to a degree but their story and relationship was also real and endearing …..

The bakery is catering for a wedding and they did their trusted cupcakes but there wax an accident along the way and said cupcakes are no more so there’s our Claire in a flat spin but her knight that caused the accident comes to her rescue and provided a kitchen so she can bake a batch if delicious goodness ! Everyone falls in love with her delectable creations but mom is not on board , until she is ….

I laughed hard , I cried hard and o thoroughly enjoyed this read and these are book peeps that become family and live in your heart forever 🥰

Elusive Surrender (Sinful Duets #3)Elusive Surrender by Via Mari
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Oh man it’s been a treat to read these duets and while I’m on the edge of my seat to sink ny teeth into the last one I’m also hesitant because I don’t want it to end 😉

This duet has ELUSIVE which is about Alexis and Sheldon while TENACIOUS is about Nick and Allie .

ELUSIVE

Sheldon and Alexi’s cross paths quite by chance when Alexis finds herself in quite the predicament, let’s just say wrong place ,wrong time , wrong person lucky for her Sheldon is called upon for protection ….

Sheldon and Alexi bring out the unknown hunger in craving in each other for each other and guess what we’re the fortunate souls ( sone would say depraved ) we are to bear witness to this 😉🔥

These 2 kept me on my toes and they were in some tight and dangerous situations , my heart was beating harder than it should at times and it wasn’t just because of the suspense and danger 😉be prepared !

TENACIOUS

I can’t believe it’s coming to an end 😪

So my journey ends with Nick and Allie 😍

Nick is one of those delectable men that always gets what he wants and Allie is the first to say no to him and not fall at his feet and succumb to his charms but girl you’re not going to be able to fight it for to long have you looked into those eyes 👀🔥🥰

Allie is fiercely independent and has walls around her heart , self preservation and all and with her being a nurse she sees a lot and needs to be able to distance herself emotionally but I don’t think she’s ready for what’s coming get way when her path crosses with Nick’s ….

Nick and Allie are on the same team but fighting different aspects of it , Nick is fighting the traffickers while Allie works with the after effects and they’re in a war of evil and epic proportions which sickens me to the pit of my stomach.

Other than Nick and Allie’s relationship I loved the friendship between Allie and Lexi she’s a real good friend, she’s loyal , honest and supportive, a real keeper !

I just loved this duets and these people have become my tribe ❣️📚

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I’ve enjoyed the previous books in this series so when Fade Into the Night became available I scooped it up. This book delivered as the previous books did and I enjoyed reading Noah and Sadie’s story. Each of the books can be read as a standalone, which is nice if you happen to start in the middle, and are edge of your seat, suspenseful, romances.

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

I’m still in love with these covers they’re simply beautiful and that match the content within ❣️📚

In this edition we get spoilt with Auctioned which is the story of Damian and Bryanna and Relentless which follows the lives of Derick and Layla 🥰

AUCTIONED

Damian is part of an elite team of bodyguards that protect billionaires and when the niece of one of these prominent families goes missing it’s Damian that is sent to rescue her from a human trafficking ring !

It seems like it’s a cut case , go in , grab the girl and get out bit this delectable speciMAN is about get more than her bargained … he’s trying to rescue someone who doesn’t want to be rescued but unknown to him the enemy has a bargain chip to hold over Bryanna so don’t get to frustrated with her …..

Don’t read Bryanna wrong she comes forth as a bit of a damsel but she’s strong and fiercely protective of her loved ones and yes like me she has a weakness when it comes to Damian 😱🔥

Also if I was Bryanna I wouldn’t fight Damian for just let him have his way 🤣 he’s an alpha and know what he wants and despite his frustration he’s still patient in the teaching of “ his ways”🥰🔥

I liked that I got different perspectives from different characters it feel like you have a better idea of the characters and what makes them who they are , they climbed into my dark heart 😉

RELENTLESS

These books are like aging red wine , each one gets better with time 😉

This time round I got uk spend time with Layla and Derick and let me tell you what Layla is a force to be reckoned with 😉

So Derick is also part of the elite team that protects people but he’s responsible for 2 of the most powerful mafia kings in the world 😱 and they ask him to look after Layla and boy does he have his full she’s full is sass , she’s feisty and fearless and he has to call in all sorts of favours to keep her safe.

I know the word word Maui’s scares people and yes sone of them are bad but there are those that have hard nos’s when it comes to trafficking so you guys are my heroes ! Anyhoo Layla is a woman on a mission she needs to find and save her sister and friend before it’s too late and I get why she’s kitting about who she can trust but Dereck is on her side and gosh it takes her a while to realise but when she dies they’re a formidable team 🔥

My kindle was a n fire , blood pressure sky high and I broke out into a sweat on more than occasion !
This was a read with with drama ,suspense ,angst , tension , spicy steamy romance ,tension , action and so much more !

Fair warning if you’re a sensitive reader rather avoid this series but if you like reading on the dark side …. Welcome you out world !

Fade Into the Night (Philly Heat series, #5)Fade Into the Night by Becky Flade
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I have been following this series closely, waiting for the next book, so once I saw it I grabbed it up immediately! After cancelling my day, I got lost in the Philly Heat series world. You can read this as a standalone, but you will end up getting the rest of the series because it’s remarkable! We get to follow Noah and Sadie through this story, and they may be my favorites in all of the books. I was fully invested from the first page as the author expertly crafts another suspenseful tale to keep us on the edge of our seats. Just when I thought I had everything pinned down, they threw another twist at you, then a turn right after that. I loved every moment of it! The multiple points of view is something I also enjoy in a book as it helps you get into each character’s mindset and experience the story a little deeper. The chemistry between Sadie and Noah feels natural, and the flow of the story is flawless. If you’re looking for a suspenseful read with a bit of romance thrown in, this is the one for you because there are plenty of scary things throughout this book! I can’t wait to see what this author has up their sleeve next because I am SO ready for it!

As this was my first time picking up a story by this author Becky Flade I didn’t know what to expect while reading, but hot dang this author is gifted. Fade into the Night was well written with crazy twists and turns, and . When I tell you I can’t really read thrillers I’m not lying but not for the reason you would think. When reading them I always either know who did it or skip to the end to see what happens 🤣 but not with this book. Well kinda I did want to know but I made myself stop it was so hard because the author had me sooo enthralled that I was on the edge of my sit the WHOLE time omg! It took all my willpower not to skip😭. I love that it was told from different POVs, letting you know what’s going on in their mine. Giving this was the fifth book of the Philly Heat Series. Whoops. I definitely going to go back and start from the beginning and read the rest of the books in the series 🥰

Dark Sky at Dawn is the first book in the Free Men and Dreamers series. This story follows Jed Pearson and Hannah Stansbury during the days of the War of 1812. This historical fiction gives a lot of historical facts intertwined with a lot of intriguing fiction. The plot was well-crafted and made me feel as if I were watching a movie. There is so much detail and knowledge poured into the story. The characters are complex. The author navigates our nation’s complicated history very well. This story was very informative and engaging.

Thorfinn and the Witch’s Curse Audio Book (The Forerunner Series, Book 1) by Jay Veloso Batista – Review by Cindy Mayberry

Thorfinn is a young boy of 9 years and coming of age under the historical Viking lore. Along with magic, ghost’s, witches and paranormal events. He may be young, but his knowledge is powerful. Now he needs to grow long before he is ready. This is a very interesting story. I don’t care to read historical novels, this one caught my interest. The story is well written and pretty easy to follow. As well as educational if you are interested in this genre. You can tell the author is knowledgeable in Viking history and paranormal characters, as is clear in this story. This audible story is fun to listen to. This would make for long driving trips.  As the story builds, so does your heartbeat. This is a great story all together. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. I look forward to the next book in this series.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

It was very clever to do so in instalments because you’re left hanging and wondering who , what and why 😱😉

Bella girl loves her romance novels but real life isn’t the same as where we loose ourselves , being single in your 30’s and trying online dating can be both fun and intimidating and we get to join Bella on her journey and I tell you what it’s been entertaining to say the least 😉

MR WIMP

After 12 years of marriage Bella’s husband decides he wants to move on and it would seem a third party is involved but I’ve my doubts but that’s a story for later , she’s now going to enter the scary world of 30 something dating and I say scary but it’s actually quite amusing and liberating and it may it may not boost your confidence a little ….

Joel I just want to tell you that you’re a chop for cheating on Bella and then you still have the cheek to make her feel like you walking away was her fault 🤮 shame on you !

Bella you go on as many dates as you need girl , have fun and find your knight in shining armour 🥰😉

MR STEAMY

Bella girl is still out having fun and when hunky Batman Liam crosses her path I cheered from the sides 🤣😉 he’s like a walking fantasy 🤣🔥

Liam is a love them and leave them kind of man and I must say I had a little chuckle when Liam offers himself up as the “sacrificial lamb “to help Bella out with “training and research “

Bella then meets Jack online and where does she meet up with !? At the bar ! I’m like hello girl you’ve got your hands full now what 🤷‍♀️

MR PLAYER

So Bella has left Liam eating her dating dust bubbles and now is getting a taste of Jack 😱😉

The jury is out on Jack on whether or not he’s a Casanova or not but let’s not get to excited because Bella decides to take a breather and I can’t say I blame her , she has been busy but while deciding to take a sabbatical delectable Jensen messaged her …,

What’s a better distraction than a girls weekend away !? Jensen is a delectable soeciMAN and I hope he stays around a little …..

MR KINKY

This one is my favourite by far 😉

Let’s just say Jensen added ALOT of fun , games and spice 🔥

I had fun with these guys but not as much as Bella did 🤣😉🔥

Murder At Music Hall (True North Murder Mystery Book 1) by A. J. Ullman – Review by Jessie Hopkins

From page 1, I was hooked. The book jumps right in and I was there for it. As True utilizes his prior detective knowledge as well as the knowledge he has from working with the individuals that first investigated this murder, there is some awesome backstory. it is easy to take notice that True was a great asset to the police department but is an even better PI as now he doesn’t have to answer to anyone in particular.
I enjoyed this book and am looking forward to reading more of the True North Murder Mystery series.

OMG!! I couldn’t put this book down and I hated when I had to because of work. Just like her other books, she knows what her readers want to read. The love story of Harper Grimes and Gabriel Blake was written for those who believe in soul mates. I am one of those people even though I haven’t found mine yet. This isn’t just about love, hurt, and passion but you do see a lot of that in this story. It helps create a realistic picture of what’s ahead. I promise you that you will not be able to put this book down until you have read it completely. Anise Storm is an author I wish that I could be someday. You will find yourself mad at some of the characters including Harper and Gabe at some point and that is okay. Continue to read and you will find that the anger helps you understand these characters so much better.
