My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This one started out slow for me and took me a minute to get into. Once you do get into the suspenseful action twist you just can’t wait to see what happens next. Cade and Lecia are dealing with many dynamics throughout their young married life. Family, jealousy, EX’s, love, hate, and a baby on the way pave a rough path for these two as they try to start their new lives. When a few events happen that threaten their unborn child they must lean on their strong family bonds and work through the emotional roller coaster of sacrifices, forgiveness, jealousy, and faith. Will Cade and Lecia work through their many problems and come together to save their child? Will jealousy and hatred rip them apart before they can even start their family? This author builds the characters so well and has them work through some things that many couples in real life must face. Can’t wait to see what happens in the rest of the saga!!

Oh well this was refreshing.
This was an easy read so entertaining.
I loved the plot to this story the suspense and romance was amazingly written.
I loved the character development that it’s a future story.
This should be a standalone because even though it had the same story line and characters as the rest of the series this seemed more like a past story then six weeks later.
This wasn’t as good as book four or three but this author has a way with words.
It’s great to know that the story goes on with the main character.
I really enjoyed this overall.

A Hundred Wishes (Band of Sisters)A Hundred Wishes by Marianne Rice
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Even though this book was a part of a series, it was written in a manner that it was a stand alone! In my opinion, this helps in making it such a good read! It was a light hearted romance with a young single life vibe! I really enjoyed how Gina’s history reflect what some of our veterans have experienced, this is what makes it easy to relate to. Gina has trust issues, rightfully so, therefore it takes a lot for her to open up to Bryce. As far Bryce, he seems like he can’t get enough of Gina or learning about her past. Can Bryce get in Gina’s heart and learn of her dark issues that cause her not to trust? Can Bryce show Gina a world she never knew existed? I suggest reading this wonderfully written book to find out!

Exiled South by Harriet Cannon

This is the first book I’ve read by the author. Exiled South is a great book and I can’t wait for more. This story will leave you hanging on the edge of your seat.

Lizbeth is worried when her hisband doesnt answer his cell and he’s late. She thinks he’s been acting strange lately. When the bank calls things change and she’s not sure how much she can take. The quote I chose for Lizbeth is: “I just got off the phone with Dan’s parents. They want to come immediately to ‘help plan’ the funeral. Meaning, they want to take over. Control freaks!”

Highly recommended for Women’s Historical Fiction lovers.

A Hundred Wishes (Band of Sister) tells the story of former Army Sergeant Gina Fisher and Arson Investigator Bryce Cambridge. I enjoyed this story of a new chance at romance and finding out if someone can love you with all your scars. Gina is a great character who is really relatable despite her having gone through extraordinary circumstances. Bryce is a gentleman who has to show Gina that she deserves all the love in the world. The characters are interesting and likable. The story was good and kept me drawn into the book. I look forward to reading more from this author soon.

This contemporary military romance story is the third book in this series. It is set in a small town and is the story of four women who are more than friends they are sisters but not by blood. It is full of witty banter, emotions, insecurities, and drama. This story is about Gina and Bryce, but can she overcome her fears and learn to trust again? The author has created something where the world building is described in detail, and the interesting characters are well developed. It has sizzling chemistry and sparks that burn hot that will have you needing a cool cold drink. I found myself frustrated with Gina at times, but it is an intriguing story that pulled me in.

Bryce is the all around perfect book boyfriend, and he stole my heart as much as he did Gina’s. Gina was a lovable character who had a brave façade, but so much inner turmoil due to what she saw physically and remembered mentally. The bombing took away a large part of her, and Bryce is that that person to help her see herself and get it back. Her and Bryce had misunderstandings, drama, and much self doubt to each overcome to obtain their HEA.
This was such a beautiful story, and it was more than just the typical romance of boy gets the girl. The amount of emotional depth and self acceptance in this book spoke volumes.

Dahlia is a Lyrriken, half human half dragon. She was raised to be an assassin for the Guild. When she is sentenced to death for a mistake, she runs, escaping through an exit portal. After more than 100 years of constantly being on the move to avoid detection, Dahlia returns to Sentinel City. There she works as a fire investigator on contract to the city on an unexplained murder case involving fire. Turns out its not unexplained. It just is not a human crime. As she works to solve the case while also hiding the truth from from the human authorities more murders pile up. The more Dahlia learns the more she questions if she is making the right choices. But she is determined to make a difference. Will it be enough?
This is the first book by C.L. Schneider I have read, but I will definitely be reading more. This book had a lot of different dimensions, building up both the characters and the worlds themselves. I found it very easy to imagination. There were a few places I feel like there could have been more description given; however, I have a feeling that will come as the series continues. I can not wait to see what comes next in this series. I would suggest reading this book.

A good start with this first book in the series that is a second-chance contemporary hockey romance tale. I enjoyed the wit and antics from his teammates who offered an ongoing supply of commentary and had me laughing. There are characters that you will fall in love with and others you just want to strangle. A kid from the wrong side of the track who falls in love but finds her again after many years of heartbreak. Insecurities, heartache, and doubts, not to mention walls built to protect and it is a hard road to rekindle a fated love, or is it? Sizzling chemistry and the back-and-forth banter with these two leads to an interesting tale that had me immersed in their world.

I love a book that you are new to the author and you fall in love with the first book you read and are already hooked! This story has different elements….. family, suspense, mystery, fame, family but with a twist of paranormal wrapped in. Bella and Miles run a Music business and are very successful along with raising their family. Love is tested in this story…and we learn Miles also has a “gift” that is also passed down to their children. Can Miles and Bella’s love survive? Definitely read to find out.

I know I definitely want to go back now and read the series from the beginning. What a great book!

Continuing to love each and every book that I have read by this author! The latest in the Mafia Elite series, this book has you hooked from the first page. I started it the moment I had it in my Kindle library, it may have taken me awhile to finish it but that was only because of my busy work schedule! This book can easily be devoured in a weekend, maybe even a day if you are a dedicated reader with time on your hands.

Elena Caruso is no stranger to anyone who has read the previous books in the series, so when I found out that Savage Secrets was about her story with Marco, I knew it wouldn’t take much for me to get hooked! I’ve always loved the enemies to lovers, arranged marriage genre of romance fiction, and this book proved to me just how much I do! It amazes me how the author continues to impress me time and time again, I know that I will never be disappointed when I get the chance to read one of her stories!

This isn’t the first book I’ve read by the author. This is actually the second book I’ve read in the Moore Family Saga. Face the Fire is the fifth book in the Moore Family Saga.

Miles is the head of AriMusic and the father to twins. He’s got a special condition that he’s passed down to his kids. When he learns how far The Network is in his life it bugs him. The quote I chose for Miles is: “Our business is a family business and I need to be there. Bradley, I need to see for myself what trouble Pharaoh has gotten himself into.”

Bella is Chief of Marketing for AriMusic and the wife of Miles. She is scared when she learns that the twins have his special condition. Then she is scared that her and her mother are falling apart. The quote I chose for Bella is: “I’m sorry I slapped you. I came to remind you about your interview later today with WCAL. They’ve given your song a lot of airtime, and we need to make sure they know how much we appreciate their role in making the song a success.”

Highly recommended for Romantic Suspense lovers.

I have to admit after reading a few books by this wonderful author that just seeing her name on the book will make me want to pick it up and read it. Both her main and side characters are always so well written and she draws you into their world so expertly that you feel every step of their story.

This book is no exception! I was hooked from the very start when Gina and Bryce meet under a misunderstanding. I knew straight up Gina was going to be highly spirited and that I was going to love her. This book is filled with wonderful characters and a rocky emotion filled road to love. It is a book not to be missed. I will definitely be buying and reading the rest of the series as soon as possible.

This is by far one of my favourite series by her! She has become a new favourite of mine and her books are a guaranteed read no matter what the storyline is! The mafia storyline connected with the other books in this series has been amazing and this book with Marco and Elena was no different! It only took me a few days to read it just like the others and it did not disappoint in any way!
If you are looking for an amazing book series with the mafia, suspense, twists, and turns I highly recommend this book and the others in the series! You will not be disappointed!

Goddess of EverythingGoddess of Everything by Paul DeBlassie III
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Wow. All I have to say is that I was unable to read this novel when I was home alone, which is what I was hoping to do! The way this author weaves this blood-curdling tale is phenomenal, I honestly cannot say that I have ever read anything like this before, and though it certainly gave me goosebumps in the worst way, I could see myself reading other works by him. Written works such as these aren’t easy to read, but that’s all part of the fun, and horror. Growing up in a religious household and reading this work of art really had me gripping the edge of my seat.

The internal and external struggles had by the characters, namely Gabriel, brings tears to my eyes, as nothing is truly ever black and white. There is evil in this world, and there aren’t many novels that cover the dark side of people, religion, or people’s feelings/thoughts/opinions. The way that this author describes the struggles, the connection between the nuns and Mother Juana, Gabriel, and Consuela, and the bumps along the way, you can just tell that he poured his all into these pages. I look forward to reading this again once I have the mindset to really dig deep and will be back to edit this review once I do so. Well done!

This was a fun one to get lost in and devour! I have never had the chance to experience this author before but I can tell you it won’t be my last that is for sure! I just loved this steamy and sassy read and I had no idea what I was going to get when I picked it up. Normally I love sports romances and the cover and blurbs with a few teasers sold me when they crossed my timeline. I knew I had to see what the outcome would be after Brynn smacks Levi in the nuts lol. I was not disappointed at all. This book really dove so much more into matters of the heart. I found myself laughing out loud, oohing and ahhing at the sweetness at times, finding it smexy hot and smoldering, and downright angst at others. It had all the pieces I needed for the perfect romance and really it kept me up way past my bedtime because I just needed to know how these two would play out and if they would get the happily ever after. I am excited that this will be the beginning of a series so there will be more to come from Astoria Bay Thunder. I will for sure be back for more!
