The Hunted (Vampire Navy SEAL: Sam & Layla #1) by S.B. Alexander – Review by Angela Hayes

The Hunted (Vampire Navy SEAL: Sam & Layla, #1)The Hunted by S.B. Alexander
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

 

4.5 stars

 

OK, now I need the next book STAT!
The Hunted is the first book in the Vampire Navy SEAL series by S.B. Alexander. This is a riveting enemies to lovers paranormal romance, with a military element, vampires, shifters, action, suspense, drama, intrigue, chemistry, and sizzle. This is the first book that I have read by Ms. Alexander, and I am kicking myself that I had not discovered her before now, because this book was fantastic- which means I have been missing out. I am excited to see that she has a lot of other books published and I can’t wait to start exploring them all. #bookwormheaven
This book is everything that you could want from a great paranormal romance- especially if you love vampires, with a military twist. Though I will admit that the author had me at vampires. I was intrigued and invested right from the beginning and devoured the book in a few short hours.
I might have cursed just a little- ok, a lot- when I got to the cliffhanger ending…. I am desperate to get my hands on Book #2 and have already preordered it, April can’t get here quick enough!
Highly recommended!
Happy reading!

Thank you, S.B. Alexander!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Mermaid and the Rainbow is part of the Mermaid Science books. I read this book to my 5 year old son, who enjoyed it. The art work is bright and colorful, and works wonderfully with the story. The tricks are cool, and we want to try the rainbow one, since it was new to us. I like that the story explained how the tricks worked, as well as showed them in the illustrations. Overall, a cute and educational book, appropriate for younger elementary kiddos.

Class ClownClass Clown by Allan Evans
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This was definitely a psychological thriller.
This gave me serious ghost whisperer vibes.
Dead clowns are at the new high school, and friends have gone missing.
The main character has unique abilities that could help, but they also could be the reason for the clown apocalypse.
Cause highschool isn’t hard enough.
I recommend this to all my horror fans.
As a person petrified of clowns, this will not get you over yikes fear.
It’s a bit disturbing but interesting and it keeps you engaged.
Do I recommend? Yes it is good overall once I got half way through, so entertaining.

The Wounded Cowboy Billionaire (Billionaire Hearts Ranch Book 1) by Edith MacKenzie – Review by Mandy Ott

The Wounded Cowboy Billionaire (Billionaire Hearts Ranch, #1)The Wounded Cowboy Billionaire by Edith Mackenzie
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The Wounded Cowboy Billionaire hit me right in all the emotions. I was not ready for the amount of sadness the beginning of this book would throw at me! There is so much loss in Colt’s life, but he still has friends looking out for him, despite him pushing them away. This is the first book I’ve read by Edith MacKenzie and I was not disappointed. She delivers with great, realistic, lovable, frustrating characters and wonderful world building. The Wounded Cowboy Billionaire takes the reader on a roller coaster of ups and downs and everything in between. But, will have you smiling by the end. I cannot wait to read more by Edith MacKenzie.

I enjoyed this quick read. The author did a fantastic job pulling me into the story and connecting me with the characters. I didn’t want this story to end. Bullet, who is a prospect, is dealing with a lot, guilt, nightmares, and anger. He wants to do his best for his brothers but he feels like he’s letting them down. Clementine is an independent woman who isn’t afraid to speak her mind. When these two meet the chemistry is evident. When you read this book you will find out where his nightmares are coming from. I can’t wait to read more of this series. This is a must read if you want to find out what happens between these two. I highly recommend this book.

Nite Fire: Slash & Burn (Book 4) by C.L. Schneider – Review by Erica Shoebridge

Slash & Burn (Nite Fire, #4)Slash & Burn by C.L. Schneider
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The latest book in this fantastic series is full of battles, darkness, and action. The blight that Dahlia has chased since book 1 is gaining in strength and threatening the stability of all worlds, including Earth. She struggles to focus her strengths and new powers, but her progress seems to be frustratingly slower than the increase of the deadly blight. When her friends are injured, she is forced to rely on shadowy contacts that she isn’t sure how much she should trust.
This novel is back-to-back battles and excitement. Dahlia uncovers a lot of the mysteries at play in Sentinel City and Drimera, and these fuel her ability to fight against the end of civilization. Book 4 is a great continuation of this series, never a dull moment!

Dare I say I enjoyed this book even more than the first? This is such a great series, and I can’t get enough of it. The characters, like Bullet, have such well-written personalities. It’s like you know them personally and feel for them through their rollercoaster of a ride. This is a quick read that sucks you in from the first page, which is just this author’s amazing writing style. This book is full of action, trauma, healing, passion, and is a perfect second installment to the Grimm Wolves MC series. I couldn’t be happier!

I was completely invested in this story from the first chapter. Definitely one of those books that draws you in immediately, rather than having to force yourself to keep reading for it to get interesting. Leave it to this author to create such intriguing characters. Francis had such a heartbreaking childhood, but manages to overcome his trauma and make the best of his “abilities”. I couldn’t help but have the feeling that there were more undisclosed parts to his gift, but I’m hoping that we learn more in other books in the series. I’m definitely sticking around to find out! Nevertheless, I loved seeing him get his happily ever after, after so many challenges along the way. A must read!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This was an emotional 5 star read. Once I started I didn’t want to put it down. This was a great ending to this series.

After a conversation with her husband Michael, Yolanda has decided to return to her hometown with her daughter for a break. Michael follows Yolanda, determined to work things out and get his family back where they belong. I do have to say that I had a love/hate relationship with these two. I had moments where I wanted to shake them. We also find that they both have secrets, what will happen when they come out? Can they make their marriage work?

Overall this was a great read. This story hits on several things that affect marriages everyday and shows just how difficult things can be. It was great seeing characters from the other books. This can be read as a stand alone but I suggest reading from book one so you can meet the rest of the family. The author has done a great job with her writing and I look forward to reading more from her. Kudos on a great ending to this series. 1-click and get started today.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This book is an interracial romance with a happily ever after standalone.

Layla Bennett, a Blerdy (Black + Nerdy) fanatic, is looking forward to meeting her favorite comic book creator. She’s excited to collect his autograph, shake his hand, and pose for a photo with him while dressed as in costume. At least, that’s how she felt until meeting him and melting beneath his seductive blue eyes. Vic Williams, a comic book writer and New York Times best-selling novelist, is as seductive as the superheroes he portrays. Layla is under his spell, at least until the end of the weekend, thanks to his genial charisma.

Layla walks home with a great narrative about seeing her idol after their convention meets up, knowing that nothing would come from her fangirl blubbering. Vic and Layla meet online and immediately develop a long-distance romance, replete with anime, ramen, and excursions to the comic book store with a comic book writer. Layla is captivated with her real-life superhero, but things aren’t always as they appear, just as in comic books. Hidden realities rise to the surface under the bright lights of the comic con floor. Can Layla and Vic find their way back together despite the harsh realities of the fandom world?

I loved this story. I loved every page of it. Every chapter was exciting. This is my first book from this author and I can’t wait to read more from this author.

This is not my first book by this author but it is one of my favorites. This is the first book in this series and what a great start it is. This is an author that I have enjoyed reading from the first book I picked up by this author. I enjoy this author’s writing style as well as their attention to detail to make the story pop. I was pulled into this story from the beginning. A story of a forbidden love where fate steps in and you never know what might happen with these two, Kally and Clark. I enjoyed watching them grow throughout the story along with their great chemistry. They are strong, well rounded characters that really made the story come to life. They are supportive of each other which is great to see. A well written story that is full of action and romance. It is a hard to put down story that even has some twists and turns that you won’t see coming. I really enjoyed this story and the growth of the plot made the story easy and entertaining to read. I highly recommend this book.

Fifteen years later they reconnect by chance … but will Kayden learn to forgive and let Liam love her again?

I loved this story, it flowed so easily and I can totally relate to the characters. Second chance clean romance full of love, sweet moments and learning about forgiveness.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

All three books in one box set, means I didn’t have to wait to read books two and three. This was a very enjoyable read. Maddie, is starting her second year at Thunderbird Academy. There are many new kids at school this year due to the Ancients threatening their world again; her father is missing; and there is very little to no contact with home. Aiden is a shifter who is thrown into being Maddie’s defense trainer. The chemistry between these two is smoking hot: the shared looks, the taunting, the energy. Can Aiden and Maddie become more and learn from each other?
There were small glimpses into the events that happened before this series started. I was happy to find that there are books before this. I can’t wait to get my hands on them to learn where this story really started.

This is book 5 in the Mafia Elite series, and it can be read as a standalone, but I recommend reading the first 4 books as well to get the most out of it. This whole series is great. This is Luc and Summer’s story.
Luc was the missing heir to the Brambilla family. One of the Chicago mafia bosses goes to collect and take him to fulfill his destiny as a mob boss.
Summer’s friend got her into some trouble with a different mafia family and is on the run. They have a one night stand and the next morning she realizes she slept with her new boss.
Luc won’t go to Chicago without Summer, because he believes she’s a spy for the former boss. The attraction is still there between them, but can they overcome their obstacles and be together?

Ah, Cassie and Diego are back, but this time we get to see things through the eyes of Diego. We get too see a bit more into what he was going though with his marriage, divorce, and ultimately giving into his feelings for his student. This book can be read as a standalone, but I feel like you will have more insight from reading the first book. Being able to see things from his perspective gave me more of an understanding as a reader about some of the things said and done in Professor Valentine. A big thing for me is that the author did a POV all in one book instead of jumping around from person to person. Overall I enjoyed this quick read and will most likely read the next book in the series.

Vanessa “Van” is at it again on another mission. This time though she has a whole slew of regular life stuff to deal with on top of the games and the mission. But like the true hero she is she wings her way through it with a delightful outcome. I don’t know about you all but I did not see that coming!!!

This part of the story becomes very intense and will leave you wondering if you would have handled quite as well as Vanessa at the same age. Mystery, Intrigue, Deceit, Trials, and the ultimate question to follow your heart or your head. I loved, yes LOVED, this second installment in this series. I was very much looking forward to it and it did NOT disappoint! This is next level fantasy at its absolute best!!! So excited for book three!!

Action, adventure, twists and turns and most of all well developed characters. The fantasy world is super involved and so well detailed you can actually feel like you have been there. The author truly wants the readers to be satisfied that their favorite characters are handled with care and given a full experience. I laughed, I cried and yes I even yelled at the book a time or too. I am looking forward to a continuing journey in book two!

Full transparency- it took me until I was halfway through this book before I really loved it. Once pieces started to fall into place and both characters met, the storyline really picked up for me. I have to say, I love that while this is a casual, romantic comedy, it was a storyline that I felt had a lot of meaning.
I loved Shamrock and appreciated the growth of his character in just a short time.
There was one point in the book where I literally gasped- drawing attention from my whole family. I would definitely recommend this book to others and I LOVE the cover!
