My rating: 4 of 5 stars

A lovely, engaging read! The author does a wonderful job bringing this story to life with wonderful descriptions, leading to vivid imagery. It is evident the author was well researched to bring this historical romance to life.

The author also does a wonderful job in her creation of the characters. Griffin and Julia are each enjoyable in their own way and you truly get a sense of who they are and find yourself rooting for them throughout the book. The author also does a wonderful job creating tension and chemistry within their relationship.

Pick this one up if you’re looking for an enjoyable enemies-to-lovers with a beau frigio historical setting!

The Curse of a FaebloodThe Curse of a Faeblood by M.K. Lorber
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I have found that the world of Fae is not only magical, it also some romance mixed in. I enjoyed the way the world was described and how it was introduced. The author did a good job of describing the world and the characters within it. The story has a way of pulling you in slowly and keeping your attention until the end. It is the perfect blend of fantasy, romance, mystery, and action. Ember and Gravyn, the story’s main characters had a connection from the beginning and it starts off rocky, but then quickly turns into a different kind of relationship. There were many different plot twists, but that just enhances where the story goes.

Collateral Damage: A Second Chance Mafia Romance (Mafia Elite Book 6)Collateral Damage: A Second Chance Mafia Romance by Amy McKinley
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I have been following this series since the beginning, and while I am dreading that we are running out of mafia men. I know it will be coming to an end soon, and this saddens me! While I have my “favorite” characters there has not been one bad book in this series, I have loved every single one of them. This book follows the story of Trey La Rosa and Hailey Carmichael. I have wanted to read Trey’s story from the beginning, and I was not disappointed. Hailey comes from an affluent family and feels used by most people because of it. She has also had a hard time after losing her father and sister in a car accident years earlier. Trey is an amazing surgeon who tries to maintain the mafia life and gets experience working in surgery so that he is ready if his family ever needs him. You won’t want to miss this book, especially if you have been following this series.

Phoenix's Ascent (Hera Force: #2)Phoenix’s Ascent by Winter Austin

This book is action packed from the get go! Every page has me wanting more! The main character, Nadia, is a fireball and I just love her personality! She really is a “Phoenix” as they call her. Her Hera Force team is also an interesting bunch! They each are different in their own way but the group fits together so well.
The book starts off in Cancun, Mexico, where Mitch Edwards, an ex-SAS operative is hiding out and not wanting to see anyone from his past. When in walks Nadia, her beautiful and cunning self. It doesn’t take long for the two to interact with one another. Mitch could never forget this woman, but Nadia is certain she has never met this man before.
Join this team and their wild journey to end this mission to find out: Will they find the traitor before it’s all over or will the traitor get the best of the team?

Heart Broken: Satan’s Devils Book 5 by Manda Mellett

Narrated by Sierra Kline and Logan McAllister

Five Stars

 

This book is officially my new favorite, but I tend to say that a lot about this author. She is one of my go to authors because her writing never fails to amaze me. The storylines are heartfelt and often gut wrenching. Heart and Marc make a great couple. Even though the emotions run deep, the action is a non-stop roller coaster ride. Can’t wait to see what this author has up next for us. 

Sierra Kline and Logan McAllister are awesome narrators. Their voices blend well. They bring all of the characters to life.  Awesome 5+ star listen.

Oh my! The author always writes such heart wrenching and heartwarming books. This is another winner in the audio files. The narrators again do a terrific job of presenting Hear and Marc’s story. I was on the edge of my seat at time’s. Heart did such a good job staying straight edged when she gave her updates and surprised when he found that Drummer paved the way for him to get through the time on the road. Heart really was going through a very tough time. Marc tried to help him and to also solve this murder. The whole dang department seemed on the take. She gets an A from me for perseverance.. They had challenges to face and face them they did.. These two sure seemed meant to be. Strong emotions, heart felt pain made this story so raw and vulnerable. The narrators brought it out and I give it a bit 5 stars.

Heart Broken is the fifth book in the Satan’s Devils Series This is a MC Romance that once you start listening you won’t want to stop. I highly recommend listening to the other’s in this series if you haven’t already.  They are just as good as this one and the narrator does a wonderful job of bringing the characters and story to life. I could listen to  him all day long. Just when I thought this Series couldn’t get any better then this one comes along. Get ready  to be taken on quite the emotional rollercoaster ride.  This is a story about Heart, he’s on the road of destruction after losing the  love of his life his wife. He’s very broken. Then comes along the guy  who is investigating his wives murder . Can these two be friends? This a fast paced story that had my emotions all  over the place.I highly recommend listening to this fast paced story to find  out what happens next ? I can’t  wait to listen to more books by this author.

Definitely not what I was expecting but a quick read nonetheless! I’ve really been enjoying the Fae story genre lately so this was an easy book to read, but I definitely loved the twist the author put on it by having the main character being mortal and by having her being the person tasked with saving the day for magical creatures.

From the very beginning the author illustrated beautifully the differences between the mortal world and the fae world, making it easy to imagine being whisked away to a beautiful land full of magic and beauty. She draws you in with cliffhangers and surprises at the turn of every page, leaving the reader no choice but to finish the book rather quickly. To say it was easy to read this book in a day is an understatement! Can’t wait to read the next book in the series.

Collateral Damage: A Second Chance Mafia Romance (Mafia Elite Book 6)Collateral Damage: A Second Chance Mafia Romance by Amy McKinley
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I absolutely love this series by Amy McKinley and (I know I’ve said it before) but this was the best yet! I love the intertwining of all of the characters and their lives and how we never really “lose” any characters once their book is done because they will always show up in another one, one way or another. I love McKinley’s character building and her plot development. She really takes her time building and sculpting her characters, individually and as a couple. The way McKinley moves her plot throughout the novel is just *chef’s kiss*. I don’t feel like the plot is ever stagnant or that McKinley rushes anything. It’s really a perfect pace.
Trey has to be my favorite of the Mafia guys. He’s just so sweet and wholesome (not my typical type) and has a really good heart. While he doesn’t play a full-time role in the Five Families, his role as physician/surgeon is just as integral. He also doesn’t flaunt his connections around, but uses them wisely and discretely. He is still grieving the loss of his girlfriend from a few years ago and has push Hailey away previously. But when she’s in trouble and Trey is asked to help, he can’t help feeling drawn to her once again.
Hailey is no stranger to tragedy and grief. She lost her sister and her father in a tragic accident. Hailey’s mother has remarried and pushed Hailey to the side leaving Hailey to deal with everything on her own. Hailey has been pining after Trey ever since they first met at a gala and they danced the night away. She’s friends with Sofia, Trey’s sister, but has never had the courage to ask her to set them up.
Once Hailey and Trey meet again (cue second chance) the passion and sparks fly. The sexual tension is there; however, it’s pretty PG throughout the book…but hey…we can use our imaginations, right? There are twists and turns you won’t see coming and your heart may break a time or two, but it’s definitely worth it.
I cannot wait for the next (and final?) book in this series to come out. While you can read each one as a standalone, I really recommend reading in order to get the most out of it. You really get a sense of the characters and the family dynamics. But either way…JUST READ THEM!!

Everything to Me (Playing for Keeps Book 2)Everything to Me by Lauren Fraser
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Everything to Me by Lauren Fraser is book 2 in the Playing for Keeps Series. I haven’t read the first book, and fortunately, it can be read as a complete standalone!

It is one of my favorite genres, a best friend’s sister sports romance. Their chemistry gave me butterflies, and their romance gave me all the feels. One thing that was quite different to me, but in a very good way, was that Fraser wasted no time in these two acting on their feelings for one another, of course, more lust in the beginning but it doesn’t take long for the feelings to develop.

I loved both Kendall and Pete. Kendall wasn’t just beautiful, but she was also independent and intelligent. She knows what she wants both professionally and personally. However, there was a softer side to her. She was very vulnerable in love for Pete, and Fraser did a great job of showing that.

While Pete had the typical reputation with the ladies, he really was a softie. He used his talent and wealth to help others in any way he could. He valued his friendships, especially with Kendall’s brother, and it was so much fun watching him fall in love with Kendall.

While this is a genre that can be overdone, Fraser made it fresh and witty. For instance, there was steam and spice, but that wasn’t the gist of the story. She focused more on the emotional attachment between Kendall and Pete rather than it just being about the sex. It was a perfect combination of the two. I’m so glad I had the opportunity to discover this new author. I’m looking forward to reading more from her.

Book 6 and still going strong
Mafia mayhem continues with book 6 of the Mafia Elite series. I absolutely adore this series. With strong alpha males and equally strong females, this whole series has gripped me from the start. In this book we get Trey’s story. We have met him in book 2 as Sophia’s brother. He has been mentioned a few other times and along with his brother Marco. This family, being mafia, has several people gunning for them. Trey has his hands full but once he meets Hailey, all bets are off. The author brings a brilliant twist to this second chance romance. A must read – but please read from book 1, you won’t regret it.

Fate brought them back together, but can they stay together?

Trey is a surgeon and in the mafia. Naturally, he’s the guy for the job when Hailey gets abducted. As they twist and turn through a botched abduction turned vengeance scheme they must decide how much they’re willing to risk for each other.

Collateral Damage was a great continuation of the La Rosa family series. Less action than others, but great character development. It’s easy to fall in love with Trey. He may be bad bay mafia, but he’s a good guy at the core. Hailey needs something to go right in her life. Now is their time to shine.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

First of all – I would just like Amy McKinley to put a new book out every week. I LOVE her books!! I cannot say enough good things about this series and I was so excited to see it continue after Ruthless Heir.

This installment centers on the family surgeon – Trey and he is every bit the juicy character we have seen snippets of in previous stories. More about his past is revealed that explains his protective nature – and you cannot help but love him the more for it. Hailey is a great character herself too. She is smart and methodical with a healthy dose of obstinance.

I love that the book still goes back to the family at its core – as a critical aspect of the Italian Mafia theme. The book is steamy in all the best ways, hard to put down, and really gives an example of how the author creates multi-facets for her characters. I will keep immersing myself in this world as long as she is willing to share it with us!!

I jumped for joy when I saw this next book in the Mafia Elite series and made sure to snatch it up immediately. Amy is one of my fav authors and there are not many books of hers that I have not read. I love her writing and she never lets me down. It is dark and gripping, intense and enthralling, suspenseful and thrilling, steamy and exciting. I really enjoy the unpredictability of not knowing what comes next, of always being on my toes and it is never what I expect.

Still reeling from a loss so deep Trey was not in a good place when they crossed paths. Now she is in danger. He knows he can’t leave her there; he has to help her but in doing so puts him in danger to.

Make sure you start this series from the beginning now: you won’t be disappointed.

I was really looking forward to reading this book and as of right now, I would call it my favorite in the series. I was really looking forward to read more about Trey, I feel like he is such a multidimensional character with all he’s been through and I have a soft spot for him. I feel like the medical/surgeon aspect has not been done in many (or at least any I’ve read) Mafia novels. As a nurse myself, I’m always drawn to plots or characters involving the medical field. As much as I loved Trey, I feel that Hailey is just as strong and relatable as a character. The book (or series) is a must read. Never short of excitement, strong characters and a stronger plot. I’d strongly recommend this novel.

Captivated (Hybrid Lovers, #1)Captivated by Toya Richardson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This was a sexy as sin book that I couldn’t put down. The physical scenes were extremely descriptive and downright naughty but in the best way imaginable. It kind of makes other books look tame.

Angelina, a pretty successful artist, is leading her life in the most normal way possible when she is kidnapped at night walking home to her apartment. This is the start of a very long tailspin for her as she comes to the realization that demons are real and her erotic dreams may border reality more than she could envision. Luca and Salvatore, hybrid angels and vampires, never expect to find their mate let alone save her from a demon. As the attraction between them grows and Angelina is thrust more into this world of good vs. evil she faces challenges that seem too big for her to handle. Can they form a powerful trio to stop the one demon hellbent on destroying them? Or will Amgelina have to face the very real death of not only herself but the two mates that she is deeply in love with?

This book had me going through all the feels as I envisioned the scenes playing out like a movie in my head. I cried, literal tears, was angry, and even laughed at the antics of Luca, Salvatorre, and Angelina. If you like super descriptive, heady, adult themed content books with a fantasy aspect and menage tre thrown in then this is a must read book. I will wait with baited breath for a possible sequel to come out to figure out what happens next for this trio and hopefully some cliffhangers get resolved!

I really enjoyed this story. This is book 2 in the series however it can be read as a standalone and is still really enjoyable. This book is definately one of favourite so far this year. It had a mixed of all the elements I love in a story. It is action packed with action, danger, a little romance, Paranormal and twists and turns you dont see coming. No one is who they seem and that is what keeps the reader guessing.
Both our main character have secrets that need to come our in the open if they are to be saved. There are foces working against them that they dont realise and when Avery’s life is in danger she needs to work with her neighbour Luys to solve the danger. Can they stop this killer before its too late? What secrets is Luys hiding and will they put Avery’s life in even more danger then it already started off in?

This is a fascinating paranormal romance that really had me gripped from the very beginning and was hard to put down. I had not read any work by this author before so was unsure what to expect from this book, but I can say that I will definitely read their work again in future.
When Avery wakes up after a night out and discovers that she’s naked and that her chest has been cut open and sewn shut again, she has no idea what has happened. She has no recollection of anything after going to bed after a few drinks with friends.
This opening to the book sure pulls you into the story straight away. You just want to keep reading to find out what happened to her. Add into the mix her hot neighbour who is hiding some secrets of his own and you are in for a fantastic read.
The story is medium to fast paced and flows very well, keeping the reader engaged and entertained.
I really loved the characters of Avery and hot neighbour Luys. Both are very intriguing and you want to keep reading to find out more about them. What secrets are they hiding?
I would 100% recommend this book.

The True Purpose of Vines: An intoxicating historical romance about wine and love. (The Winemakers Book 1)The True Purpose of Vines: An intoxicating historical romance about wine and love. by Giovanna Siniscalchi
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The True Purpose of Vines is the first book to the Winemakers series by Giovanna Siniscalchi. As I read the first chapter, I was not too sure where the book was going to take me. But as I continued on, I realized it was going to take me to a far more beautiful place than I imagined. In 1870 Portugal, during a timeframe when it was not considered normal for a woman to work so hard and be the household provider, there lived a headstrong widow, mother and passionate winemaker named Julia Costa-Ferreira. Julia has taken over her late husband’s business and does not need help or directions from any man. But here comes the handsome Griffon Maxwell, a pretentious Englishman who agrees to travel to Portugal initially to chase a debt with hopes of striking a deal. He didn’t realize he’d be chasing after the debtor’s heart as well. But can her independent ways and his conservative mindset find a way?

I loved the slow buildup of romance between these two characters, the descriptions, the setting. The author clearly took her time to do a lot of in-depth research to be able to take her readers to a historical period with elaborate, accurate detail. This was a beautiful story, and I look forward to the next one. I’d also like to mention how vibrant and gorgeous the cover is. A perfect representation for this tale. If you love a good historical romance and wine, this is the perfect story to find yourself lost in.

This is quite the integrated story! I was intrigued by the storyline and the characters. This kept me on my toes as I along with the characters try to figure out the who, why and when of this one. There is a lot of background medicalish information that I did not so much care for. It is the research side..it is good for the story but I just skimmed some of it. I was surprised on more than one occasion with the actions of the characters.

There are a ton of characters in here. That is what helps make the story so diverse. We follow along with Joanie as she meets and greets them all.

Overall this is a good story that easily held my interest. This is a new author for me and I am glad I gave her a chance. It helps that I am a lover of shifter stories.

Thorfinn and the Witch's Curse (The Forerunner Series #1)Thorfinn and the Witch’s Curse by Jay Veloso Batista
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I love all things involving historical tales and worlds that seem so long ago from what we know today. The author does a brilliant job of depicting the scenery in the villages so much so I can envision walking amongst them myself.

This book starts out with Finn, a boy who does what he should and enjoys listening to the stories and legends of old. His father is preparing an apprenticeship for him and planning a wedding. Everything changes when a relative who has been exiled shows up and seemingly sets off a witch’s curse leaving Finn a normal boy during the day but a ghost at night. This leaves Finn on uneven ground having to deal with his enemies including the witch that cursed him and his fellow clansman who in their fear strike murder plots against him. While also figuring out how to manage his new existence and where he goes from here. Will Finn make it out of this ghastly existence mostly intact? Can Finn find a way to cope with his new existence?

This is a riveting tale that will draw you in right from the start and refuse to let you go. Now that I know there are more books in this series I will definitely hunt them down to find out what happens next. These characters are so engaging and the story keeps you engaged so you want to devour this book in one setting. If you like fantasy mixed with action, adventure, and history then definitely give this book a try. It was one heck of a ride from start to finish!
