Blood & Ravens: A dark, paranormal romance (The Casket Girls Book 1)Blood & Ravens: A dark, paranormal romance by A.D. Brazeau
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is a really good read. It is a paranormal romance with other elements that make this book unique and different from other paranormal romances. The author does an amazing job of telling of a story that is dark and confusing at times but also gripping enough to keep the reader engaged and wanting to see what happens.

When Greer is kidnapped from her life in Paris she finds herself transported to a convent, set to marry a man she doesn’t know or want to marry. Unwilling to submit to her fate she wants to escape and help her other Casket girls as well. She knows she needs to fight but what she is fighting against comes as a surprise even to her.

Theron has been cursed and kicked out of the underworld. He is sent to live his live as a vampire. He knows there is a plan in place for these Casket girls and the he should involve himself. However when he picks Greer as his meal he realises he’s not the cold hearted monster he has been sentenced to be. He actually cares for this girl and he can’t explain why.

Now together they are on a mission to save the casket girls from their fate. Theron’s main aim is to save Greer from her fate. But with hell, demons, and the underworld to contend with will the force of Greer and Theron be strong enough to over come the obstacles against them?

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Oh man I am in heaven. This book incompasses three of my favorite things; Portugal, History and Romance. I was just hooked and loved reading this book. I enjoyed how there was just as much drama and romance to balance out the book. I like how the characters were not simple but had depth and that the story was set in a historic setting. Historic romances are one of my favorite genres to read.

The chemistry and interaction of the characters makes the book flow. The storyline was rich and brought the characters to life. I really felt as though I was back in historic Portugal and could smell the vineyards. I really enjoyed this book and look forward to reading more from this author.

Targeting Dart ( Satan’s Devils MC #4) Audio Book by Manda Mellett- Review by Lauren West

/0 Comments/in , /by

To start the narrators of this story were amazing. The voices fit the characters to the T! The story itself was full of action, suspense, romance, and of course an amazing HEA. Dart was a man who just lived his life with not much thought on up or down or more or less. He was a simple man who came across Alex who was a complex woman. Alex was strong, loyal, fierce, and a complete bad a**. Together they were everything and had a connection that no one else could rival. This author has rocked the MC world as usual and given us a great story that is not easily forgotten. Loved this book and loved the audio even more.

The Curse of a Faeblood (The Faeblood Series #1) by MK Lorber

This is the first book I’ve read by the author. The Curse of a Faeblood is an amazing read. It’s the first book in The Faeblood Series. I can’t wait for the next book in the series.

Gavyn is a fighter and has had a rough childhood. When a thief is caught he can’t help but want her to be taken in. The quote I chose for Gavyn is: “Jade, you can’t keep feeding every person who wanders to your cart. You know the rules. No more drifters. This one will rob you blind like the rest.”

Ember is part faeblood and has the powers. Only problem is she can’t be caught. When she decides to stick around things become problematic. The quote I chose for Ember is: “Okay. I can stay for one more night. To help you out.”

Highly recommended for Fae Romance lovers.

The Cruiser ( The Hustlers Trilogy, #1) by Rowan Rossler, wrote a book that delivered 100%!! The Cruiser is a book that I found myself reading at every opportunity I could find during the day! Morgan and Vandana have a rocky beginning, but bring the fire by the end of the book! Morgan comes off as a pretentious, rich boy and Vandana is successful in her own way and her world is about to be turned upside down. There are so many details and situations that happen in the book, that it is so hard not to spoil the book! This is a must read if you like a good, steamy romance with some twists and turns. I’m looking forward to reading the rest of the books in this trilogy! Great job Rowan Rossler!

All the things you crave in a paranormal romance this book has. Well developed characters you get attached to, check. A world built so real with words you feel like you are there, check. Unsuspected plot twists, check. A blossoming yet slow burn romance, check. There isn’t anything missing from what makes a good paranormal romance in my opinion. This a book that keeps you turning the pages wanting more. I cannot wait to read the next book in the series to see what happens after the conclusion of this seires.

Greer is suddenly taken from her life in Paris and thrust into a convent as a casket girl. Meant to marry another that she has never met. She isn’t the only girl brought into this convent. Dark and unknown secrets lay in wait within the walls of her new life and the lives of the other casket girls. Will they accept their new fate or fight against the supernatural world to change it?

Theron is cursed by the God of the Underworld to live his life as a blood sucking vampire. Does this curse mean he is a cold hearted monster or is there more to him? There must be as he finds himself falling for Greer and fighting with her to save all the casket girls, especially her. Vampires, demons, Hades, and hell itself stand in their path.

I loved this book truly! From the start of the book to the end, I could not get enough of the captivating story or the the characters I certainly loved and grew with! The story had a lot to offer the reader, and I found the story developed at a very good pace. The book was hauntingly beautiful and a wonderful read!

Something I loved about this book and the way the author created and flowed the story, was that nothing was what it seems. And I can am speaking really from any point! I found with answers to certain events more questions arose. The author used amazing descriptive skills that really brought out the beauty in the story. The paranormal side of the story at hand, was wondaful and well done to say the least. The characters were very connectable. I had trouble stopping this one. I would stop and go back as I wanted to see what would happen next. It was a book that was well worth reading! Loved it truly!

Amazing read! A book that holds you close and certainly does not let go, even when you reach the final page with the final words and you finish the book. I shall anxiously await book 2, I loved this one as I have made clear, and I know the next one will be just as amazing! Highly recommend this must read book!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This novel was just a great, simple and enjoyable read. As up and coming young journalist, Angelina Jameson, gets herself situated at her literary magazine, a blast from the past comes to her head-on. Her former love is now her new boss, Blade Spencer, which takes Angelina through a whirlwind of emotions and contemplations. Now she is left with the decision of whether she wants to confront her past or continue her focused mindset career instead.

Not only are many of the themes of this story related to many individuals nowadays but De Ross does a great job and revisiting how the past can still challenge you. Angelina encounters many of the scenarios she has dealt with in the past but her new, older self gives readers a maturing nature of the character as she contemplates these issues.

I enjoyed this romance story. This is a well written story about two people who fight for a cure and for a relationship. I enjoyed the author’s writing style and attention to details that added so much to the story. This is a fast paced story that is engaging and a page turner. This is a story that is written with a lot of emotion and it certainly took me on an emotional roller coaster. I enjoyed how the characters were able to pull me into the story. I had no problem relating to the characters as they are connectable, strong and supportive of each other. Julia and Griffin are great characters that have great chemistry. Their struggle to find a cure and keep their relationship together is left in the hands of fate. This story has great world building and growth throughout. There is alot going on in this story but I enjoyed how the author was able to keep me engaged. I really enjoyed this book and what the characters brought to the story. I highly recommend this book.

Blood & Ravens: A dark, paranormal romance (The Casket Girls Book 1)Blood & Ravens: A dark, paranormal romance by A.D. Brazeau
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This was certainly a change of pace from the contemporary romance and mafia focused novels I have been reading as of late. It’s always nice to incorporate the ways of life back before I was even a thought in my Mom’s mind into a mix of love, suspense, and paranormal beings, and by doing so, keeping the reader on their toes and unsure as to what is next to come. The world-building was very well done, in fact, I could just about smell the stank of the Casket girls as they made their way to their destination of New Orleans. The descriptiveness of the girls and how they are worse for wear made me feel for not only Greer, but the rest of the crew, despite their backstories differentiating, and grow fond of the connections that they make with each other and their want to make their lives the best they can be.

Life is full of struggles, which both Greer and Theron are more than familiar with. Though through their own choices and choices thrust upon them, their lives have been full dark clouds, with the occasional glimpse of sunshine, and getting to know them both, I desperately wanted more for them, and whispered encouraging words for their love to blossom. I enjoyed the novel and really want to get back into their world to see how they grow and what becomes of the deal that Greer has made, as the twists and turns haven’t yet come to a full stop! If you are looking for a swirl of different emotions and to have your heartstrings tugged at, then this is your next read!

Paranormal romance with twists and turns
After a slow start, this story comes unto its own. Greer and Theron, each have their past struggles to contend with if they have any hope of a future. The story line has a unique twist and the mix of mythology, romance and the paranormal is well done. The romance starts off slow and heats up to a burn. Each of the characters were developed and the world building on point. A worthy read.

Historical romance is not really my thing but I was pleasantly surprise by this compelling story and the authors narrative.

This enemies-to-lovers story is Giovanna’s debut novel and as a first book she has done very well. It is an historical romance story set in the 1870’s in the Douro region. It vividly showcases Portugals rich history, culture and lore’s and traditions and winemaking mixed in with a dash of romance. Giovanna’s beautifully written tale will not only capture your heart but will leave you wanting more.

With cultural differences and prejudices and a plague can one headstrong woman and one man who believes himself above others come together and find true love?

Julia is the best winemaker in the region. She has everything she loves and will defend it to the bitter end but it is all threatened by her late husbands’ debt.

Griffin is an arrogant Englishman. He doesn’t want to be where he is but trade dictates the need. However, he may just have met his match.

This is such a fascinating book! It puts a whole different spin on werewolves and how they come to be. This book has it all, romance, mystery and the paranormal. It pulled me in from the very first page and I just couldn’t put it down. Joanie is going through a really rough period of loss in her life and she inherits a massive property from her grandfather. However, it comes along with a lot of baggage that she wasn’t expecting. That’s when she realizes that werewolves exist and as she becomes involved she finds herself in danger while also being attracted to someone she never thought she would be. On her way to find a cure, she realizes what she really wants from life and who she wants it with but will she get the chance to make her dreams come true? This is one paranormal book you aren’t going to want to miss and I can’t wait to read the next books in this series.

Secondly the suspense nearly killed me. I constantly shifted on who the bad person was. I had to stop myself multiple time from skipping to the end to reveal what happens 😭.I’m not a big fan of the best friend but Imma read the next one (her story) hopefully she’s better in that one but truly this was a great read im glad I read it.🥰

This is the second book in a YA mystery series in which a young woman living in the 19th century works to solve mysteries with the help of her friends.

I recommend this book and series to teens looking for a mix of historical fiction and mystery.

When I was younger, I really enjoyed reading books that had a young female detective that would solve mysteries. This new YA series reminds me of my love for that type of book mixed with historical fiction. This book is the 3rd in this series, and although it can be read as a stand-alone book, I do recommend reading the others first for small background details that help bring the story to life. I loved that the main character is bright, curious, and intelligent and goes against the norms for a female during that time period. I recommend this story for teens that are looking for a mix of a few genres and an enjoyable, easy-to-read story.

This was the first book I have read by this author, but I am so glad that this is part of a series so that I can continue in the world that she created. The characters are multi-dimensional and kept me guessing, as well as the relationships and interactions between the characters. The world created was mysterious and intriguing, which made this book easy to read and hard to put down. I liked the combination of Sci-Fi, supernatural, and crime-solving thriller elements. I also really like it when the main character is a strong, educated female that is able to hold her own with a group of alpha males. I look forward to picking up the next book!

The Fighter (An Underground Bad Boys Romance #3) by India Kells

Another great read by the author. The Fighter is Gage’s story and he finally gets his chance. This is the third book in the An Underground Boys Romance Series.

Gage is finally moving on. He’s moved closer to the beach and is now lost on what to do. He finds himself with two people, but can he be let down again? The quote I chose for Gage is: “I’m bisexual. Always have been. But I haven’t always been at peace with it either, so I don’t know what advice to give you. Listen. You’d better go now. I’m too tired to play shrink right now. You look like a great guy, but to be honest, apart from a good f***, I’d rather steer clear of complicated relationships, male or female. And I’m guessing you’re not ready for a quick romp. So good luck and good night.”

Ten is conflicted about what he wants. His best friend or the guy who is teaching him to fight. He isn’t sure what to do and he wants them both. Can he have them both? The quote I chose for Ten is: “No, no. It’s just that’s the first time a guy has done that to me. Seeing you on your knees, doing all those things, just made everything so intense. It shook me to the core. But I want to do it again. I want to do it to you.”

Juliet has always been attracted to Ten. He’s always been there for her. Then you throw in Gage and now she’s confused. What will she do? The quote I chose for Juliet is: “I’ve been attracted to you for a long time. I know you’re exploring things with Gage, but I thought it would be a good idea to give you a comparison, so to speak.”

Highly recommended for Erotica Romance lovers.

Another fantastic read by the author. She’s done it once again and leaves me wanting more. The Traitor is the second book in the An Underground Boys Series.

Spencer aka Knox is the oldest of the friends. We met Locke and now it’s Knox’s turn. He moves away to get away from his past, but it doesn’t stay behind him for long. The quote I chose for Knox is: “I said I wouldn’t touch you. Well, unless you want me to. You have my word. That’s not what my offer is about. That kiss was a mistake. You’re way too young, and it was way too inappropriate.”

Josie is working hard to pay off her ex husband’s debt. She’s working more than one job and it’s taking a toll on her. When she’s offered something so great she can’t turn it down. The quote I chose for Josie is: “Josie Baird. Thank you for offering me this chance. You and Georgia . I won’t let you down. I can assure you I’m an honest and hard worker.”

Highly recommended for Erotica Romance Lovers.

Enjoyable rom/com but with some seriousness as well in the story.

What can truly happen when your past love comes back into your life? This is what happens to Angelina when the new editor in chief takes over the magazine, “Unabridged”. The new editor in chief is none other than her ex, Blade. There were reasons why Angelina left Blade years ago, doubting that she was ever good enough for Blade. Quickly, things fall back into place and their love for each other picks up right where it left off. Will Blade and Angelina find their HEA?

This book is pretty fast paced, for me a bit to fast, I would have more of a slow burn on this. I love the story line overall with the romance and a little bit of drama that I did not see coming. Overall very good book!

Are you ready to fall in love with Stacy-Deanne’s characters? How about ready to dive into some deep south history and hurts? If you are, then you’re in for a treat. Meet Zenni, a strong woman who stands up for her beliefs, and meet Colton a man who knows what he wants.

‘“Or change it,” a male’s voice boomed with authority, but also had a soft edge that pulled you out of the lush surroundings and made you feel at home. “That’s what I’d do.” Colton Sage came into view, those frost-blue eyes immediately hitting Zenni’s soul. “Well, you must be Zenni Parker.” His graze caressed her curves.’

You may be able to guess what their motives are both romantically and with the plantation. But better you keep your suspicions to yourself and enjoy this well written book.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

What a great introduction to Portugal – the people, the wine, and the land! The main character, Julia, is a widow who is running a vineyard during a time when it was done only by men. It is 1870 and she is looked down upon for running the vineyard and speaking up to other men doing the same. She is independent, tough, headstrong, and willing to do anything to keep her vineyard going. When Griffin Maxwell comes to town to check in on his own vineyard, there is an instant connection. Julia teaches him about the culture, the stories, the food, and the grapes. Griffin is helping her find a cure to the plague spreading through vineyards, teaching her son how to ride a horse, and opening her up to new love. The setting is beautiful and the characters are very relatable. This was a page turner and I had to keep reading to see what decisions would be made and what obstacles they would have to overcome. All you need is a perfect glass of wine or Julia’s favorite, port!

PHENOMENAL book….the characters were sizzling off the pages, the chemistry between them was so hot! First read by Rowan Rossler, but it definitely will not be my last! Steamy, hot, romance that I could not put down until the last page was turned! I can’t wait for the next book in the series.

PR guru for the swanky, rich, LA crowd, Vandanna had it all. Successful business, movie star husband, great house and amazing friends….Until one day her husband dropped a bomb that shattered her world. Vandanna didn’t think she would ever be the same….that is until she met Morgan, the sexy, captivating, Moroccan billionaire whose playboy ways was a PR nightmare. Vandanna was looking forward to the distraction in working with Morgan; far, far away from LA and her soon to be ex-husband, however she definitely got more than she bargained for during her ten days in the Mediterranean.

I didn’t know what I was getting into when I picked this book up but what a ride!! I feel like the author has created his own genre of must-reads and I am now picking up all his other books. I couldn’t thumb through it fast enough yet I wanted more when it was over. This book is a thriller at its core and I did NOT see some of the twists and turns. This story being told in the age of COVID-19 made it even more relatable since everyone has had some sort of experience with it. The family secrets always tugging at the story along with crazy Eddie keep you wondering what’s really happening.

Josie is painted in different colors throughout the story and it’s interesting to see each shade of her. Of course, her being a mama bear pulls on my heartstrings because that’s such a strong connection. Will she do anything for her kids no matter the cost?
Highly recommend this psychological thriller, you won’t regret it!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

K.G. Fletcher is a new author for me and I found her to be genuine who writes emotion so well you feel like your experiencing the emotions that the book characters are.
#1 Run to the Sea- Emmeline and Thomas were BFFs but Thomas takes off. This is two people reconciling trying to find out who they are and where they belong after a lot of years.
#2 Stars all from the sky- Ginger, and Jonathan, this book has tons of emotion which can lead to a book hangover. and chance love but who needs whom more?
#3 A sun so bright – big feelings, Fiona is the typical poor little rich girl, but is she Chris sees the real Fiona and helps her bring it out.
#4 I’ll see you again- this is opposites attract, a lot of laughing and crying happy tears from laughing with
this book. I even thought at one, because I got so mad, about stopping reading but I just love all the emotional twists you take. Nicky needs a little help from a friend and Mac is the charming hot rocker who is the one she wants.
#5 A Cold Creek Christmas- a single dad, and a person who doesn’t care about Christmas what could go wrong? Amber has a rough go at it but can Gio help her through it?
