The Blood Prince by Ayla Marie – Review by Karen Pearman

The Blood PrinceThe Blood Prince by Ayla Marie
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This was a new author for me but was recommended by a close friend’s daughter. She knows I love young adult books and thought I would enjoy this one as well. She was correct. I highly enjoyed it. Let me first say that I loved the wonderful world building that she created. It was perfect and had me fantasizing it was an actual real place to visit. I found the characters to be relatable especially as a child that helped raise my siblings with frugal means. There were a few spots in the story that I though were missing details that were needed to be told, but once I got to the end of the story I realized that unless she changes her mind there will be a follow up book that should answer any questions I had left. I hope that this is the case. Really good book and I highly recommend it.

I really enjoyed this love story between Josh and Mavis. Love is really complicated sometimes and feelings get messy. Trying to sort out the feelings from the past for her navigate the present was very challenging for her. Knowing what to let go of and what to hold onto. I also liked Josh and thought his character was well done. I look forward to the next installment!

I was so drawn into the book right from the start. Azreya is a compelling and compassionate character that shows strength and bravery. She is dedicated to the Aztec people and would do anything in her power to ensure they succeed and flourish. Her path is unique and full of unexpected challenges. Wonderful all around.

Thief (Popov Bratva Book 4) by Leslie Georgeson – Review by Angelina Frazzini

Thief (Popov Bratva #4)Thief by Leslie Georgeson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This book is book four in the series and can be read as a standalone. I’d recommend a reading age of 18+ as there are some adult situations and lots of steam. This is the first book I’ve read by this author. I have some catching up to do.

Dominik just has to do a job, which has never been an issue before, but now Leah steps in to prevent him from stealing a car and now everything is upside down. This interaction causes a rollercoaster of emotions and lots of drama. Leah has secrets and Dominik is learning that some rules should be broken.

I really enjoyed reading this book. The chemistry is off the charts and I couldn’t wait to see what the next page would bring. It was not hard to dive into this story until the end!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This book is book two of the series. It can be read as a standalone. This is the first book I’ve read by this author but I don’t feel like I’ve lost any of the story for reading book two first.

Things get pretty steamy between Noah and Callie. He can’t promise her forever but he can promise her a week. At least at the beginning. Callie has Noah questioning everything. Unfortunately, now his past is coming back to haunt him and it’s putting Callie in danger. Will the truth set them free or will Callie set Noah free?

I really enjoyed this book. Not my typical type with the exhibitionist theme but I enjoyed it nonetheless. There’s just enough suspense to keep you on the edge of your seat and more than enough spice. Definitely recommend!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is book 1 in the Trading Heartbeats Trilogy. It is such a beautiful romance that captivates the reader from the beginning. This story is full of so much heartbreak and upset but also feelings of great love and forgiveness. This is a story about a couple who were deeply in love and how their past mistakes and decisions lead then to where they are today.

This is Josh and Mavis story. They were in love as teenagers but a serious of events and decisions tore them apart. Mavis took the decision to leave to save Josh from the hurt of a secret she carries but was that the right decision?

Can true love last the span of time to be rekindled? Will the secrets that were buried in the past come back to haunt them? Or will it be too little too late? Can forgiveness ever be giving without knowing the horrible truth of what you are forgiving someone for? Will this me Josh and Mavis’s second chance at a happily every after?

This book is full of anger and pain, secrets and upset but underneath it all is the constant feeling of deep love between the characters that time has not diminished.

Jester by Brielle D. Porter – Review by Donya Pedigo

JesterJester by Brielle D. Porter
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Jester by Brielle D. Porter is a fun read that takes you to Oasis, a city similar to Las Vegas with its gambling, street shows, and majestic atmosphere. This is a YA book, but be advised it does have a few more mature topics like showgirl costumes, and being groped just to name a few. That being said I would recommend this book for a more mature teen.

I really enjoyed this book which is filled with action, competition, magic, enemies, romance, and so much more. We get to see Lisette (Mirage) tell her story and experience things through her eyes. She is left on her own after her father is executed for murdering the king. Despite not having magic to rely on she uses her quick wit and determination to thrive to become a contestant in the deadly competition to be chosen as the highest-ranked magician in the world, the Queen’s Jester. Her biggest rival is Luc, a guy who processes real magic. Their rivalry is one for the ages.

I’m so amazed that Jester is Brielle D. Porters’ debut novel, because it is a wonderfully written tale for the ages. She is definitely a author to watch out for.

5 stars!

I really enjoyed this book. I love books based on mythology and legends from different countries. It is sad that Azreya had to go through what she does with her family, especially her parents. Being so advanced due to her being “cursed” with the demon Tepeyollotl, she can understand everything that is said and done around her from an early age. She knows she has to leave her parents and she knows there is a possibility that the demon will overtake her and destroy, but it seemed to me her parents and unfortunately Nukpana teach her how to tame the best inside. Nukpana, wow, I despise him so much, his thoughts and actions are evil, I don’t like to hope for anything bad to happen to anyone, but this fictional character, I did. When her glimpses of the future come to fruition, I sat reading with my lips pursed in a “take that” and “you should have listened” form. I hoped that every king and person Azreya encountered, that she shared her reading of the future with, were looking back and wishing they would have listened. I was happy with the ending. Azreya did lose her family but gained a new one, and it seems like and I hope she is happy.

Logan is on a new journey. She moved to Oregon and has married Ben. With her eyes wide open, she has a better outlook on her life. Cascades Raptors her fascination with Birds, owls, eagles and hawks just to name a few. Logan volunteers at the wildlife center. This is where the story takes off. You’ll find yourself wondering who did it. This author has a real knack for pulling you into her stories. This the 8th in the series, for me is my new favorite. I was hooked before I finished page one. The author makes you feel as though you are right in the middle of her series. You can’t help but to fall in love with her characters. Be prepared for this thrilling crime story, as you won’t be able to put it down once you open it.

Excellent and quick romance. Harrison and Kellie’s story is so sweet and steamy. At first I wanted Kellie to stand her ground and keep pushing Harrison away, but quickly realized that Harrison’s feelings for Kellie are unshakeable and unchangeable. I hate that he felt he had to get married to keep up a certain image, and it really made me angry that he kept defending it. I am really pleased with how the story progressed and how it ended. The characters were very well written because I developed and strong dislike for a couple of them, even though they weren’t the main focus. It is always amazing to see a biracial romance and I can’t wait to see more from this author.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This book certainly has a lot of drama and misunderstandings. I certainly don’t agree with all of the choices made by, well, any of the characters. Then again, who ever truly agrees with all of the life choices of the people around them, in the real world, anyway? I am hoping the Epilogue means that there will be a second book, perhaps with fewer complications.

Mavis walked away from her high school sweetheart and the love of her life, without a word or explanation, when she found out she was pregnant, to protect him and his dreams of becoming a doctor. Many years later, unexpectedly, she finds out that her ex, Josh, is now looking to find her because he realizes he has always loved her, even without contact or knowing where she has been all these years. Josh has just gotten divorced, and wants to find the one woman he’s ever actually loved. When he discovers that his twin brother, Austin, knows where to find her and has for years, he is finally able to reconnect and learn what really happened when Mavis just disappeared without a word. Can love really forgive all past acts? Mavis and Josh are about to find out, one way or another.

While I do enjoy a good, spicy book, I wanted more than just sexual chemistry between the two main characters. Yes, they have a history of friendship but I felt that we were only given snippets of this part of their relationship and the author focused only on the sexual chemistry of Callie and Noah. I just wanted to know them better because they are both great characters, although Noah frustrated me with his male ego at times. I found myself skimming the juicy scenes because I was too involved in the dangers that follow the couple and how it would all play out. Good plot and characters but I just was not fully invested as I wanted to be.

The path to true love never runs smooth, isn’t that what they say? For the wonderful characters in this book, Mavis and Joshua, that is so very true! I was completely hooked on both the characters and storyline from the minute I started reading and they kept me turning page after page. Filled with drama, secrets and a steamy love triangle this is an emotional read full of heart and I personally can’t wait for more from this very talented author and in particular this trilogy.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Kellie felt abandoned by the man she loved, and so she left her small town to start over, cutting contact with both her friends and her family. Harrison wanted to have a head start before he moved forward with his high school sweetheart, but was too proud to tell her. Over a decade later, Kellie is an Event planner at a high end hotel in Vegas, while Harrison has succeeded and become a pro golfer. His PR team is pushing for a huge publicity stunt, causing Harrison to end up at the very hotel his first love works at. Upon their first glance of each other, they each know that they never stopped caring, and that the passion still exists. This story is their second chance, and it is full of twists and turns around every corner. I really enjoyed CA Miconi’s portrayal of her characters, because they feel like real people in a crazy romance. This is a beautiful love story of second chances, and never giving up on what’s most important to you.

Oh my, this is a beautiful love story! Josh & Mavis fell in love as teens. A bad decision brought about a chain reaction that affected their lives. This story is written so well that you feel all the emotions as you read. You feel the pain, anger, love, and joy. The characters are very relatable. We have all made mistakes in relationships. To read about Josh & Mavis’s relationship challenges shows a bit of a redemption that helps show love can be great even in second chances. They show love is worth the fight. Tess, however, is a character that I just wasn’t fond of. What a great job writing an antagonist that annoys so well. It’s a terrific debut novel. I hope we’ll see more from this author.

I found this story to be very interesting and quite intriguing. Azreya is a mythological story of a priestess who grows up to watch over her people. She leads an amazing life and has many challenges. The facts included by the author help to understand the story. It feels like South American folklore/mythology. The writing keeps you wanting more because you find yourself waning to know what’s going to happen next as Azreya undergoes tests. The illustrations fit well into the story. This author is one of my favorites as she tries many new things. I hope she does more this way. I will be using this book as reading with my kiddo’s schooling as he gets older. Well done, loved it!

Scandalously Yours is the fifth book in the Titans of Manhattan Series and I absolutely loved reading it. This is a Contemporary Romance/second chance romance that will leave you wanting more. I’m a huge fan of not only this author but this series is my favorite and this latest tops the list for me. If you haven’t already started this series I highly recommend reading this from the beginning. You get the back story of all these hot and sexy men, the women who capture their hearts and its just a wonderful series. This one I’ve been patiently waiting for and man oh man it didn’t disappoint. This is Kris and Ale’s story. These two both have a couple of things in common, their focus is on family and careers. Kristopher thinks he has it all until it all comes tumbling down and he finds himself in the midst of a nasty divorce. Aleesia has just finished her Residency and is going to be working at a local hospitals ER. These two paths cross at a Retreat in the Bahamas where he meets the newest physician for his hospital. Holy cow the chemistry between these two is out of this world. After one night of sizzling passion he wants more ,but reality has a different idea. Things get a bit messy and there’s a couple twists that had me turning the pages trying to figure out what was going to happen next. I highly recommend reading this book to find out what happens next. I’m a bit sad this series is done but I can’t wait to read more from this Author.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This was a truly captivating read! I really enjoyed this take on Cinderella. Reading different interpretations of fairy tales is always fun, seeing how the author decides to change it up or make it more modern. From the prologue to the epilogue, Ashley’s story is one that we’ve read or seen more than once, in various retellings of Cinderella, but it is by no means the exact same. The bones of the story were recognizable, but the rest of the body of the story was truly unique and beautiful. Ashley and Harry’s relationship was tested for sure, but isn’t everyone’s? If you enjoy reading modern fairy tales, this is definitely a must read!

Mavis is a woman who fell in love as a teen and suddenly disappeared without a trace. The book takes us on a journey, and ultimately, she must choose between brothers. I would be lying if I said it was easy to choose who to root for!
I loved the writing style and story told from character points of view, and it all blended together seamlessly. Would definitely recommend.

Everyone loves a good mystery, and this book is one of those. I am coming in late but excited about playing catch-up. Logan was an exciting and delightful character. Finding a calling by volunteering at the bird sanctuary she appears to be acclimating to her new life, and marriage. When she stumbled upon a murder, she becomes her own detective and starts a hunt for the killer. The further she investigates is when things pick up as she herself becomes a target. There is drama, danger, humor, and an all-around lovable story.

This is book two and honestly, I couldn’t have enjoyed it anymore then the first one. It starts off right away with not even remembering what was going on. And when troy finally starts to remember, he try’s very hard to put it all together. The author wrote this incredible book of kings, fighters, magic, betrayal, war, evil, and so much more that I could not put it down and just had to read to know what was going to happen to our wonderful characters. Magic users in this book use to be the ones that ruled, but people got scared and so they feared the Shinree and tried to do anything to control them, including drugging them. This book kept me reading and, on my seat, the whole time. But so did the first book in this amazing trilogy. Can’t wait to read book three to know what will happen. Great book, recommend.

Logan McKenna is a badass character that everyone will fall in love with within the first few chapters. She’s married to her soulmate, Ben who seems to be her perfect match. If you’ve read any of the previous books in this series, you’ll recognize this book continues with their story. As per usual, suspense and mystery seems to follow them everywhere.

As a fan of crime mysteries, I felt this book was an impeccable addition to this genre. I also enjoyed the details regarding the beautiful winged friends described within the storyline.

I felt as if this story had a perfect amount of plot twists that will keep the reader intrigued and second guessing themselves when trying to figure out what comes next. This is anything but predictable.

The author did a fantastic job and fans of this series will be overjoyed with the new addition. For those new to this series, I think they will enjoy this book and want to grab another from the series or start at the very beginning.

This book had great imagery, a beautifully designed plot and fantastic characters.

This book can be read as a stand-alone in the Titans of Manhattan series. This was also the first book I read in this series.

Kris is going though a nasty divorce process, the only thing he is worrying about is his career and his kids. He meets Alessia at a medical conference. They are completely smitten for each other from the start.

The story follows Kris dealing with his current legal separation, which is finding to be much more of a problem that anticipates since his ex is causing such a major problem. All the while Alessia is dealing with wanting to be with Kris but having to hide their relationship because his life so public.

There are many things I enjoyed about this book but the fact that Kris and Alessia were having a secret relationship while he was still going through a divorce really bothered me. Defiantly not the trope for me.

Trigger warnings: verbal abuse, divorce, threats of violence, suicide(past and present).

Fairly Royal (Fair, #4)Fairly Royal by Grace Grahme
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This book combines a few tropes into one great story. It is a best-friend’s-sister, fake relationship, and royal romance all rolled into one. Philip is the Earl of Arburne, and while he does not want a real relationship, giving the tabloids a romance to talk about could help take some pressure off him to find someone. His best-friend’s little sister, Anna, agrees to help him out, with a few rules in place.

Anna is confident, but has a hint of vulnerability that helps her feel real. Philip is a bit stuffy as a royal. Watching each of them learn to interact and move through the other’s typical territory is amusing and adds more to their dynamic. This truly is a fun modern fairy tale.
