I am always up for a random erotic read, this is a different level. This was a great underlining plot the romance was very intoxicating. This author created character development and a very enjoyable read. I look forward to reading more of this author. This is a quick, hot romance. We have all heard of the boy next door, and now we get a steamy girl next door with a past. It didn’t pick up for me right away however, when it got started I finished before I could blink. This author is very creative with the erotic scenery. I give this four stars. This was a new trope for me. BDSM. Like the song goes, sticks and stones may break my bones but chains and whips excite me.

This is by far the best Christmas story I’ve ever read! It addresses the infamous question of “Is Santa real?” but in a way that doesn’t come right out and say no. This is a heartwarming story story about the magic of Christmas and keeping the magic alive for those around us. I will definitely be reading this to all the kids in my life every year. This is a perfect story for those young kids wanting to know if Santa is real; it explains it perfectly!

Okay let me start out by saying this book BLEW ME AWAY. The moment we were introduced to Dahlia aka Dahl, I immediately knew this book was going to be a favorite.
It is incredibly well written and the way all the characters are described you can perfectly envision them. Right down to their scale colors and changing. Whether it be blue scales or in Dahlia’s case red.
I couldn’t set it down from the minute I picked it up. As she and Detective Creed are going through the murders in Sentinel City, I could see the crime scenes so vividly.
This is a perfect mashup of a murder mystery and fantasy. I cannot wait to grab the next!

I can honestly say I didn’t know what to expect walking into this, though the synopsis gives a fairly good idea as to what I was getting myself into. Mary Beth spoke to me in different ways, as she truly wants to help those around her, Elgin (Hud) in particular. Though she has the education backing her to utilize her abilities in more of a mainstream fashion, she feels more comfortable and true to herself by doing so via her “Mistress” persona. Hud is very much what one would see as an Alpha, though this does not apply in the bedroom. He has his demons and ghosts, and I very much enjoyed how these two melded together to make a very addictive story.
All in all, not necessarily my cup of tea, but I very much enjoyed this authors writing style and the story within the story. Well done!

Book 4 in a 4 part series. I have also read book 3 these two seem to be written in roughly the same time period but focused on a different couple, so there are eastereggs from and about the other book(s).
In this book we get to read about Luke and his adorable daughter, Brielle aka Brie, and how they are both looking for a fun loving nanny to join them. I love how much of an adoring father Luke is. While he is still a rocker at heart, he has put his daughter first and focuses on her needs. He knows what it is like to have no parental figure as he was abandoned as a baby. Of course being a good dad, Luke asks what Brie wants in a nanny and she states she wants someone fun, pretty, and who can dance.
Enter Nikki, a specially trained nanny who is looking for a new placement, and who is a HUGE Default Distraction fan, specifically Luke’s. I love that Nikki is not the stereotypical nanny. She has a few tattoo’s, is on the younger side, and has her tongue pierced. She’s also a trained ballet dancer, which Brie loves. While I really enjoy Nikki personally, I love her family, and how big her/their heart is for others. I also appreciate that we have a character with a major disability that is not talked about in passing, or that is just brushed aside.
The romance that builds between Luke and Nikki feels organic and well thought out. It is not rushed, and in fact there’s many instances that had me laughing out loud at the antics of the characters. I love how the band members are all also rooting for one another to find happiness instead of whining and complaining about it, which seems to be popular among musician romance books.
Having read book 3 and 4, I certainly need to go back and read 1 and 2 because I have questions, darn it! But I would also love to see more of Brielle and Flint in future books or novellas to see where they end up. Ah, the life of a rockstar child.

S. Roberts – Review by Alexandria Richard
I felt like it was destiny for me to pick this book up to read because it’s about a half dragon, half human, red-headed woman… and I just so happen to be a red headed woman with the maiden name of “Dragon”! 🙂
Dahlia, the dragon half-breed, has to leave her world when she is slated for execution after hesitating to kill a child witnessing her assassinate a mark. That hesitation sets her on a course to the human realm, running from retrievers and keeping humans safe from creatures of other realms for almost a hundred years. She goes back to the city of Sentinel, where she first came out of her realm, and tries to start over, again. While she is there a string of hideous murders happen and don’t show signs of stopping anytime soon. Dahlia teams up with the police to steer their investigation away from what she knows is attacks by her own. As she battles within herself with what she was raised to know, to what she now knows, she is torn. Can she come to terms with the two halves of herself in time to protect dragons and humans? Can she learn to trust others, even as she finds out the truth behind her escape and exile?
I really enjoyed this read! It kept me turning the pages to find out what happened next. I rooted for Dahlia to figure out what was happening as I suspected that some of her friends were not truly her friends. All the characters were likable and well developed, in my opinion. I loved the ones I was supposed to and highly disliked the bad guys. The world building was fantastic! I felt like I was experiencing other realms in my mind.
As a first book goes, it was intriguing and gut-wrenching at times. It set up a world that I want to know more about and can’t wait to continue reading the series. My hope is that as it continues, more information is given about the dragon world, the Guild, and their “exits” to other worlds! Looking forward to reading more!

WTH did I just read?! How can a single book make you feel all the feels and leave you reeling like that?! 4.5 Rounded up
I didn’t know where to start with this review, so I’m breaking it down as follows:
The good: – Strong female MC. How much crap can one person go through and still be okay?! Liz’s character is thrown curveball after curveball, and still is willing to get up and fight the fight, and when she’s not, she has people around her who help build her back up. – Mafia espionage. There’s so much political angst, from governmental agencies, both secret and “aboveboard” are touched on here, as well as mafia (in)fighting. There’s the Italian, Russian, and Greek mafia galore here. Who is fighting whom?
The “eh”: – The romance aspect. I am reluctant to call this a romance novel. I would call this a mafia thriller with some romance thrown in. Even then, I personally didn’t feel the “romance” between Marco and Liz. Sure there’s sexual tension, but I didn’t fall for the couple. – Everyone wants Liz. We get it, she’s the FMC, but no single person is wanted, politically or desired, the amount that she is. Everyone just seems to yearn for her in some way.
While there is a decent amount of “eh” to this novel, I still am going with my 4.5 star rating. This book will stick with me, even among the numerous dark romances that I enjoy. Something about this book is so different that it stands out.

New favorite fantasy series!!! I can’t wait to read the next. I typically don’t go for books with a cover of a human on the front, but after reading all of the reviews for this one, I’m really glad I took the chance.
Without spoiling anything, the author does an incredible job of character development, as well as world development. I found myself genuinely placed with impossible decisions along with Dahlia Nite. I felt like her moments of having to make choices alone, and with others questioning her motives is super relatable to how a lot of us as readers can feel sometimes, I know it’s true for me.
I seriously can’t wait to read the next book in the series, I’m in for the ride!!! If you’re debating picking this one up, make the leap and you won’t be able to put it down.

L. Schneider – Review by Taylor Stephenson
Wow this book is definately not for the faint hearted. It is quite a brutal read and has scenes that some readers may feel is a trigger. However if you aren’t affected then this books is an amazing read. It has everything, murder, mystery, lies and deceit, Mafia families and romance. I don’t want to go into the story because it will give it away but it is such a good read that I couldn’t put it down and read it in one sitting.
I loved our leading lady Liz. She is such an amazing strong character and even after all the trauma and abuse she goes through she still can love and trust which is amazing to read.
Moving to a new country with his daughter, rockstar Luke, is trying to do right by his little girl. But his attraction to the nanny could spell trouble.
Nikki has had her eye on Luke for some time and she is living with him as his daughters nanny. When there’s a possibility that he might felt the same, will she risk her job?
I have not read any of the previous novels but I really enjoyed this. I don’t read rockstar novels often but I’m glad I picked this up.
It was a quick read, with great lovable characters but I could not put it down.
Nikki’s personality I just loved and Luke talking about his past just broke my heart.
I plan on reading the other books in the series to know more about the characters and their stories.

What can I say!! Seeing as I have not read the first, this one is the second book but holds its own! This book is about heartbreak, second chances and deserving to find happiness and love. There are many emotions in this book and you feel them all as you read along. Breckin and Griff are so deserving of love and everyone is rotting for it to happen. Definitely a must read and can’t wait for more!!!

Cade is the third book in the Default Distraction series. Cade is the drummer of a popular U.S. rock band called Default Distraction. He is a bad boy that’s used to getting what he wants and has never been scared to go after anything in his life. As the drummer of a popular rock band, he is used to women falling all over him and being able to pick and choose whoever he wants. Then suddenly everything changes when the lead guitarist’s little sister re-enters his life. Cade falls hard for her and wants her, but she wants nothing to do with him; or so she says.
Cade is so used to having women fawn all over him that he finds it hard to take no for an answer from Winter who is not easily impressed by his rock band popularity. Winter turns him down at every turn, but Cade won’t take no for an answer. He doesn’t know what it is about her, but he is drawn to her like a moth to a flame. As hard as he pushes her to fall for him, she continuously turns him down and pushes him away. What Cade doesn’t realize, and Winter won’t admit, is that she finds it harder and harder to resist him. The chemistry and sexual tension between Cade and Winter is intense. Cade will stop at nothing to make Winter his girl. He knows what they have is real but it’s going to take a lot of convincing. Winter is hardheaded and comes across as being cold-hearted. She refuses to let her guard down and is purely focused on running her business and making a success of herself. She can’t let any man gets in her way and stop her.
This book was intense and hard to put down! I became completely absorbed into the story and the lives of Cade and Winter. The relationship between them appeared hostile yet the sexual tension between them was undeniable and mind blowing. I had to keep reading to find out if either was ever going to let their guard down and let the other one in. Both have their own heartbreaking backstories and fear getting hurt. They both come across as tough but deep down it is because they’ve put a wall around their hearts so that they don’t get hurt. The story was one that I could not put down until I had finished reading the final page to see if there was going to be a happy ever after between Cade and Winter.

From the very beginning this book has your attention and questioning what in the world is going on and what happened?! I really enjoyed this book. Lauren’s character is so real and entertaining to read what she goes through throughout the chapters. Each chapter keeps you guessing and thinking hard about the situation. Keeps you on your toes until the very end! I definitely recommend this read and can’t wait to read more.
The author did a great job with character development, and the book gets pretty steamy and graphically detailed during BDSM scenes. I kind of feel like there could be some spin-offs of this novel giving more of a backstory to both of the main characters, Hud and Mary Beth, or there could have been more revealed in this novel leading up to their meeting.
The short amount of time (less than a week, really) that Mary Beth was Hud’s Mistress seems like a super tight timeline for the two of them to make the progress they made in their relationship, and made it feel less realistic to me, even if some of the scenes got intense. The book was unpredictable in how it progressed and ended, though, and the epilogue kind of helped tie up the story nicely.

Wow. This was incredibly written. It was one of my first m/m fantasy reads and it did not disappoint at all. Everything was so detailed and pieced together so beautifully. From the cultural perspective of Archeron , an outcast shifter typer, because of his calling to usher the dead. Errapel is so wonderful and I just fell in love with them both so much. They came from two separate worlds but their hearts called them to each other despite what the laws and people said. Oh my word this was amazing and definitely needed more.
This is a detailed and rich story that takes you on journey right from the first page. I found the whole story to be so interesting. It is completely different to what I would expect from this author but it was a great story nonetheless. It was easy to imagine what the author was describing. The settings, the characters were all vivid and real. The author really does pull you into the story and it feels like you are experiencing it with the main character. I thought this was a well written book that is certainly worth your time.

5 Stars Practically Pagan – An Alternative Guide to Magical Living by Maria DeBlassie
I absolutely loved this book. Going in I wasn’t really sure what to expect. As with any book I’ve read by this author I’m simply amazed by her style of writing and her attention to detail. She’s also really good at giving you what you didn’t realize you needed. That’s exactly what I got with this book. From the beginning to end I was hooked and had a hard time putting it down. Sometimes we need to add a little magic into our lives and this book will show you how. I highly recommend reading this book. It helped to lighten my mood and put a smile on my face. I can’t wait to read more from this Author.

If I thought I needed the tissues for the first book in this duet then I was wrong because I needed a bucket load more for this book. Oh my gosh what an emotional roller-coaster I have been on with Tori and Will. I think the author did an absolutely amazing job with this story, to take something that has an impact on so many people and to write about it so beautifully, so raw and truthful is really something special. I felt like I was right there with Tori and Will from the very beginning until the very last word of this book. I laughed with them, I cried with them and I felt every single emotion that they did. Both books have been a pleasure to read and I will definitely be looking forward to more from this author again in the future.
This book is a brilliant dark mafia romance. It is definitely for over 18’s and can be a trigger for some due to the graphic violence and non-consensual sex scenes. I had never previously read any of this author’s work but I do love a good dark mafia romance and was very intrigued by the blurb of this book so decided to give it a try. I’m very glad that I took the chance on this book because I really loved it. Elizabeth (Liz) certainly has a load to deal with. It’s not every person that has 3 mafia bosses all after them, yet that’s what Liz is dealing with. This book is not for the faint hearted or anyone who is squeamish. There is a great deal of very brutal violence dealt out, most of it to Liz and she is the recipient of a great deal of non-consensual sex. If you can handle the violence, there is a fantastic storyline that goes along with it. As well as the non-consensual sex, there are some very steamy consensual sex scenes that get the pulse racing. I was really gripped to this story from the very beginning. The story is fast paced and takes you on an emotional journey with much danger, violence and intrigue along the way. Definitely worth 5 stars and would recommend to those with a stronger stomach.

I am a huge fan of this series. Listening to the book has added such a level of excitement tha tyou just can’t get with reading. The team narrating does a wonderful job. They add the right touch of attitude to the characters. The author dies a fantastic job with the plot. She ties up the plots so they intertwine smoothly.. The plot twists are surprising and a surprise that you don’t see coming. The characters are just that, very much personalities unto themselves. They all somehow get along fairly wall to make a cohesive “family.” She is one of my favorite authors. I can’t wait to check out more of her books on audio. These are really nice for a road trip (as long as the kids aren’t in the car.) I would recommend for the over 18 age group. It is a little steamy.

Elizabeth “Liz” Finely loves the tv show Spooks. Liz loves it so much that she decides to find out if MI5 operates the same way as it does in the show. Liz scopes out the headquarters and starts observing the goings on there. She gets caught. This sends Liz’s life spiraling in new directions.
Marco Lucianno is the Don of the Italian Mafia. Marco decides that he needs to own Liz. Not only because she is valuable in his world but because she seems to have stolen his heart. When Liz’s past brings war to Marco’s doorstep, Marco must make some difficult choices.
This fast-paced twisted tale of Liz’s past, present and future that come crashing together explode in brutal fashion. Liz is devastatingly thrown into the underworld. Three families battle over Liz for reasons that she will soon learn. Liz will find that she is stronger and more resilient than she ever thought she could be after the suffering at the hands of all the families. As Marco and Liz’s futures become further entwined, the future becomes more of a question than ever before.
I was hooked from the moment Liz was busted for reconning the MI5 Headquarters. This quick moving story has many twists and turns. The ending is surprising. I couldn’t believe that one woman could cause so much trouble for so many different crime families. Liz is amazing. Her resolution is truly remarkable.

Luke is the fourth book in the Default Distraction series. From the first page this book hooked me, and I was eager to learn more about who Luke was. Luke is a man that knows little about his past or where he came from. His early life is quite tragic, and because of that he feels like there’s a piece of himself that’s missing. Luke’s rock band, Default Distraction, is highly successful but no amount of money, fame, fortune, or fans can replace the piece of Luke that is missing. Despite his early beginnings, he is determined to become a better person and to give his young daughter the life that he never had. Luke is determined to be there for his little girl and always protect her and wants his daughter to know the sense of having family and belonging.
Nikki has had a quite different upbringing than Luke and comes from a very close-knit family. Suddenly tragedy strikes and her world is turned upside down. Nikki is now broke, jobless, and no longer feels as though she knows who she is. To provide for herself and her family Nikki takes on the job as nanny for Luke and his young daughter.
What nobody expects is for the sparks to fly between Nikki and Luke. Nikki doesn’t want to risk losing her job or losing the little girl that she has come to love so she tries to deny her attraction to Luke. The chemistry is something that Luke also feels but tries to deny because he does not want to risk losing the woman that his daughter has come to love. The risks are too great for both Nikki and Luke and there is too much at stake for them both to lose. Yet, it is hard to deny the chemistry and attraction between the two of them. Will they risk losing everything to be together?
Luke had great characters in it, and I loved learning more about the backstory of the character of Luke. It is very well written and is a story unlike most others. Although it could be a standalone book and read on its own, I would recommend reading the other three books in the series first.

Dahlia Nite is a shape shifter who is stuck on Earth after disobeying orders. I thought this book was interesting. The dragon shape shifter part was cool. The characters were well thought out. Dahlia Nite was a fun character to read about. The book did a good job holding my attention.

Broken Chains is a dark romance centering around the mafia and has tons of trigger warnings. Brutality and extremely graphic scenes of sex and violence, secrets and lies…it all fills the pages. If you can look past that, it is actually a great book and awesome storyline. I found this author to be unique in her ability to draw you in, and hold you there, as if you are a bystander watching the scenes unfold. The characters are convincing and not overly done, but also engaging and you find yourself loving and hating each one individually. I will definitely say, Broken Chains is probably NOT for everyone, for the reasons I have already stated, and I did not think it would entice me as much as it did. I really do not want to get into much more, or drop hints into the plot or the twists that come with it, but I will say this book was well written and I will be seeking out others from Karina Kantas immediately. Bravo – 5 stars.
This story gets ☆☆☆☆☆ stars! It is one of the cutest stories to answer that age long question. Is Santa Claus real? I love how this story leaves hope for the children. This author has taken what determines a child’s feelings, and allowed them to help others believe. In all my teaching I have always said “Santa is in the hearts of all people.” As this is what I grew up hearing. These characters are as real as you can get when it comes to school peers. What an awesome way to keep Santa in our hearts. Beautiful pictures bring this story to life. I recommend this book to all parents of young children.

This book is NOT for the faint of heart and this is your trigger warning. It is a very dark Mafia romance that is full of intense suspense.
Elizabeth is a young woman who left singing and writing behind to join the M15 after meeting a man named Alex. Things are going great in her new career until she receives a coded message. Elizabeth soon finds herself being hunted down by 3 mafias and she has to fight for her life. She faces things that would break most people’s minds and likely never survive.
I love Elizabeth. She is a strong, intelligent and caring woman who has been forced to experience unspeakable things and yet she rises up to each challenge and fights.
I highly recommend this book to anyone who isn’t afraid to face the ugly head on and see the beauty that flourishes from it. Trust me Elizabeth’s journey is worth it!

While, this was not exactly as I was expecting, this was a great read. It reads more as a self-help book, rather than a beginners version of pagan magic. I thoroughly enjoyed this book once I really understood the areas being covered/written about. I love how this book covers really good reminders for the work-life balance. There are areas in this book that cover juggling a career along side with family obligations. Also really good reminders and pointers on becoming the best version of yourself.
