Everything To Me (Playing for Keeps Book 2) by Lauren Fraser – Review by Mandy Ott

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

Lauren Fraser is a first time author for me and I was impressed. The main content of Everything To Me started quickly without a whole lot of fluff to distract the reader. I love the sports element included in this book, and the fact the main character, Kendall, is a fan of baseball creates a very complex character. There wasn’t a whole lot of delving into the lives of the secondary characters, but the two main characters were well developed and realistic. I want to be friends with a couple like Kendall and Pete! Lauren Fraser did a great job keeping the “brother’s best friend” genre from being too overplayed by focusing more on the connection and emotions between Pete and Kendall. Both of the main characters, but especially Pete, went through a lot of emotional changes and growth throughout the book. Fraser does a wonderful job of creating a quick, witty, emotional read while allowing the reader to still connect with the characters. I can’t wait to read more books by Lauren Fraser.

this is a mix of genres, off limits, best friends little sister, childhood crush, sports romance. This
Story hits all the highs and a few lows. The “friends with benefits” thing they try is classic in a hope noone finds out kind of way. They are an adorable couple and the steamy moments are truly STEAMY. this is a great read.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I loved Kendall and Pete’s story! Their transition from old friends to lovers was steamy. I found myself laughing out loud several times with this book, and I truly appreciate that. I don’t find that too often with steamy romance novels. Each of the main characters was so well written, I felt like I was watching everything play out right before my eyes. From the awkward preteen/teen years of lust to grown adults indulging and falling for each other. I need more well written books like this in my life! I will definitely be reading more from this author!

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

Book six of the Mafia Elite series is just as amazing as the previous five stories! In this edition, Trey La Rosa’s Mafia background comes into play when Allen Mitchell’s stepdaughter, Hailey, is abducted in the hospital parking lot. After watching the security tape, Trey recognizes Hailey from a charity event a year ago. After sending a copy of the security tape to Nico, less than an hour later, Trey is setting up a retrieval of Hailey. Upon finding Hailey’s location, Trey was curious about how friendly she was with her kidnapper. Trey decided to turn the tables and snatches Hailey from her best friend, Justin. After finding out why Hailey had staged her abduction, Trey decides to help her with her plan to blackmail Allen for the money he has exhorted from the hospital.

The multiple twists and burning tension between Trey and Hailey makes this story one that cannot be put down. I guarantee the entire series is well worth reading, and every book will have you eagerly looking for more.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Usually after the first few in a series the freshness is lost. Not so with the Mafia Elite series. This is book 6 and is just as wonderful as the first 5. I just can’t seem to get enough of these books, these amazing characters, and the world that has been created for our enjoyment. Trey, the doctor they call on when any one is hurt, has been hurt in the past. He lost the woman he cared for. Hailey had been used and burned. She didn’t trust easily. The first time Trey and Hailey met there was definitely something there. When they meet again under very different circumstances what will happen? Can either of them get around the walls that have been built by the other? This book was full of twists and turns and defiant surprises along the way.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Collateral Damage is the 6th book in the Mafia Elite series by Amy McKinley. I am really enjoying this series and have read all the books so far. I do recommend reading them in order as you get to know each of the characters individually and it will make the continuing storylines make more sense. In this book, Dr Trey La Rosa is tasked with finding the kidnapped stepdaughter of a colleague, but it is not as straightforward as it may seem at first. Trey and Hailey need to work together to find out her stepfather’s true intentions. I liked this book but feel it was a bit short, I would have loved more! I have so many unanswered questions but hopefully, some of these will be answered in Nico’s story. If you like a mafia romance with overbearing males but equally powerful females this is a series for you.

We meet Trey in some of the other books in this series but we finally get to really know him and his story- and it was worth the wait!

Dr. Trey La Rosa works as a surgeon at a hospital but he is also available to his mafia family anytime he is needed. Trey has lots of female “fans” but he’s very guarded because he lost his true love. Enter Hailey- she’s in trouble and needs help. Can Trey save her? Can he keep his guard up or will she steal his heart in the process? This book has it all- action, adventure, suspense, intrigue, romance, twists and turns. Another great read from this amazing author.

Trey La Rosa, hard working Dr. Plenty of looks to keep the woman’s heads turning. He is also a member of the family mafia. While he keeps his job seperate from the family, he has no interest in finding a love interest. He had one but she had died, so he has buried his head in his work. Until….. Hailey Carmichael, never wanted anything but to belong. She lost her sister and father in a car accident, and her mother has turned her back on Hailey. Therefore Hailey is on her own. Until the day she is kidnapped…… That’s all you get from me. No Spoilers! This is one of my favorite authors. You know the kind, where you drop everything to read the next book in the series. She did not disappoint with this one. This story is fast paced and high energy. Just when I thought the worst was over, I was wrong. I fell head over heels in love with this family and their wives. The female characters are strong and independant and the men are hot and steamy, oh and deadly. This is a must read!

Collateral Damage: A Second Chance Mafia Romance (Mafia Elite Book 6)

Once again this author delivered a book I throughly enjoyed and had a hard time putting down.  She definitely one of the authors that I will read blindly without reading the synopsis to make sure it will be something I enjoy.

Trey and Hailey have an interesting story, they met but he walked away for several reasons and some of them were even admirable but the heart wants what it wants and you can only hold it off for so long.

There were some seriously interesting twists and I loved every single second.  I can’t wait for the next installment.

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

Trey La Rosa has no time for finding a woman, with his busy Hospital life and then additional family commitments he has no time to sleep but when he attends a charity function and spots her, he can not take his eyes of the beautiful women in front of him.

Hailey Carmichael is from a privileged background, family money and a image to uphold is exhausting when you aren’t really right for the world but when she discovers a secret within her own family she decides to take things into her own hands, but when she meets the dangerously good looking surgeon all bets are off.

While Trey is dragged into trying to help Hailey his feelings grow more and more but with his family and enemies losing another woman to the family feud is not on the cards, but can he stay away and protect Hailey or is it better to keep her close.

OMG OMG, this author can do no wrong, this series is one of the best series I have read and am always anticipate the new release with zealous and this book does not disappoint. I feel although Trey in the other books have flown some what under the radar you always got the feeling there was so much more to him. As the doctor of the family as well as the hospital you get to see the strain within his life and the heartbreak that has been hinted in the other stories.

I am so glad that he found a strong woman within Hailey and that although she has, he issues with her family too they seem to really spark when they come together and really dig under the skin of each other to find the drive and determination they both need to succeed in the world they live in. The story twists and weaves through to bring you a brilliant story which as always is well written and draws you in from the first work. The characters are as familiar as my own family, and it is great to see them bringing Hailey instantly into the fold of the Five Families and like all of them are extremely protective of her from the start.

I really can’t wait for the next story, but they are many left to delve into.

Captivated (Hybrid Lovers Series Book 1) by Toya Richardson – Review by Stephanie Robb

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

This is the first book in the Hybrid Lovers series. This was not my first Toya Richardson book as I previously read Wild Desires. The story focuses on the human Angelina and her fated mates Luca and Salvatore who are anything but human. They are a hybrid of angels and vampires combined which I didn’t think would be a combination that would work. This reverse harem paranormal romance was captivating, immersive and so so hot. I read this in one sitting and could not put this down as I devoured each page. Toya’s world building and character development are second to none and gave me a new fantasy I never know could exist!! HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND GO AND READ IT NOW!!!

Angelina’s life changes in one moment. When Salvatore and Luca come into her life Angelina must decide where her future will take her. Not only does her life depend on it but all human life does.

This is an interesting take on the vampire world. It brings vampires and angels together. As the hybrids fight against demons they also search for their mate. Now that Salvatore and Lucas have found Angelina, they work to show her what they could have and what it means. While I thought the plot of this book was an interesting one, I did not connect with the characters. Although this book is not a favorite of mine the story moves at a good pace and has some interesting supporting characters.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The throuple I didn’t know I needed in my life!
Angelina Squires is a normal artist with some strange, exotic dreams of two men pleasing her in ways she has never been pleased before. When she sees these two men in real life, her life changes forever…
Salvatore and Luca de Laurentis, a pair of hybrid twins between angels and vampires have been waiting to meet their mate for centuries. When they get the scent of Angelina, they know she is the one they have been waiting for and arrive just in time to save her from the demon Viktor whose main goal (like all demons) is to take over the world. Now that Viktor has discovered their mate Angelina, they only have so long to convince her to take on the role and responsibilities that entails.
I enjoyed this book! If it wasn’t for life and adulting, I could have finished this book in a couple of hours. It’s not often that the first book in a series can bring me to tears; and yet, the emotions were so well written that that’s exactly what happened. There were moments within the book that I did want more plot than adoration, but I was still captivated to the page.

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

I had yet to read anything by this author, and I absolutely love refreshing new takes on how to write novels, as different writing styles, the world building and character developments seem to vastly differ depending on preference. I loved the way this author owned that skill, and not only were we whisked away from the first page, but the connection I felt with Luca, Salvatore, and Angelina was instant and my need to read was over the top. There was a clear story here, though different challenges are introduced along the way, but never leaving any question unanswered, until the end, of course!

I have always thought that the connection between lovers was important, and although earthbound folks such as myself don’t have the ability to read minds, the abilities shared between the brothers and their mate was so creative, entertaining, and intense. It was thrilling to be able to get all three of their opinions/thoughts throughout the novel due to this, and I applaud the author for the introduction of this method of sharing. I so look forward to the rest of the series, as I was left on the edge of my seat. Well done, highly recommend!

This book focuses on Stephano and Em the third couple on this crazy drive. I absolutely love how this book focuses on toxic families and how you can choose your family. As these books progress more of the storyline makes sense and you get glimpses of the entire picture so I highly recommend reading in order.

This story focuses on Sofia and Enzo, however, our favorite characters from book one are all present. I absolutely loved how strong of a character Sofia while still keeping her femininity. They face many trials in this book and even with a HEA there is still many problems ahead of these characters leaving you with a cliffhanger that you can’t be mad at. The more Amy writes the better her books are and I can’t wait to see where this series goes.

In book 2, we again catch up with Cat, Robyn, Tobey, and friends. In this round, Cat has managed to talk her parents into going to meet her GG and aunt Jojo, and learn about why her cooking magic works the way that it does.

Cat learns so much about her family history, but all of it seems to just make things more confusing instead of answering any questions. To make it worse, her being in Arizona, haing to get up at 5 AM to practice baking with GG, and listening to everyone fight all the time keeps her away from Tobey. Can her family heal? Can Cat learn why her cooking works the way that it does? Will her mom and Jojo ever get along again?

This series is imaginative, magical, endearing, and a lot of fun – plus it offers tasty recipes!

This book was cute, fun, has recipes included, and offers a glimpse of life through a teenagers eyes. Imaginative, fun, and not another dystopian-like-all-the-others YA novel.

All Cat wants is for her last day of summer to be the most epically awesome day EVER. This means getting to the pool early with her best friend/cousin, get the perfect amount of blond in her hair, thanks to lemon juice and sunshine, and boys to flirt with. Everything is going great, and she even meets a NEW cute boy and tries the best soft pretzel she has ever had in her life!

Why can’t Cat get this pretzel out of her head? Now that she thinks about it…why does her mom hate cooking so much? Why don’t they ever have anything that isn’t carry out or delivery? Cat is about to set out on a very interesting journey in learning about magic and her family secret.

A Veil of Gods and Kings: Apollo Ascending Book 1
By: Nicole Bailey
Review By: Susan Ratchford
5 stars

Half-Mortal and Half-God, Apollo has always refused his ascension to Olympus to become the god of the sun, preferring the company of mortals and the mortal realm. Summoned by his Father Zeus he is given a choice, take his position as a god on Olympus immediately, or mentor under Prince Hyacinth for a year before his inevitable ascension. To protect the people and village he cares about from Zeus’s wrath, Apollo agrees and is sent to Hyacinth. Together for a year, their relationship changes from a mutual hatred to one that might just destroy everything they love.
I’m definitely looking for the next book ASAP! Nicole Bailey creates a fabulous ancient world full of vivid and beautiful imagery that pulled me right into Apollo and Hyacinth’s story. Her twist on this Greek myth was fresh, engaging, and romantic with plenty of tension and buildup. I could not put it down! The sibling relationship between Apollo and Temi was so endearing and realistically portrayed I couldn’t help but think about my own brothers and sisters. I highly recommend this series to anyone who loves a wonderful enemies-to-lovers romance full of captivating characters, Greek Gods, and ancient secrets.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This was my first book by this author, and I loved it. It’s a bit of a slower book, since she’s building her own lore around the original myth, but she does a fantastically eloquent job with it. I love how in the beginning of the book she had put a content warning for those who might struggle with certain types of subject matter. This is the first author I’ve ever seen do that, and I adored that she had the consideration for her readers to put it there. I love books that put new spins on old myths (e.i. Riordan’s series, Circe, Song of Achilles, etc.), and this was so well done. I’m ready for book two!

This book was amazing! I’ve always enjoyed Greek mythology, and have read a lot of books that use it as part of their premise, as well as just reading the myths themselves. I’ve never read a book quite like this one though. I was enthralled. The different characters and their individual perspectives, even as they struggled with similar dilemmas was beautifully written. The growth of the characters as well as their relationship building was wonderfully done. Temi and Pip are these fabulously fierce friends pushing gender norms in a place where that would be looked down upon while Cyn and Apollo were just hiding their true selves like so many of us do. Watching them open up and understand each other was beautiful. Their story is definitely far from over, but oh what a magical beginning!

Then the killings start, is there a serial killer and does this relate to what happened to Avery? I do not want to say much more as I want you to go on the same amazing rollercoaster I did.

Flame and Crystal Thorns is a young adult fantasy romance, the first book in the Fae and Crystal Thorns series. This is a very accessible easy read, and you do not need to be an epic fantasy reader to enjoy it. This is a very immersive and well-written book. I loved Chloe and the cross-over between the Fae and ‘real world’. My favourite relationship between the characters was that of Chloe and Quintus. I cannot wait to see where their relationship goes as the series develops. The world-building and character development were the best parts of this book. This was the most immersive and captivating part of the book.
