This was such a cute feel good story! I adore Olivia and Jace so much! Just what I needed for the Christmas season! Olivia was escaping as quickly as she could from her family and a cruise was exactly what she needed. Add in a dose of Santa magic and the handsome US navel officer Jace you have a story that will have you smiling from beginning to end! I can not wait to continue with the rest of the series!!

A Sweet Christmas : A Sweet Confections Novella by Nicole Richard is a cute little romance that will warm your heart and titillate your senses. This story may not have been long, and it started out a a nice sedate pace. But whoa it didn’t stay that way. It increased in intensity and attraction. You could feel the pheromones flying around. This was my first time reading anything by Nicole Richard. What a storyteller. The chemistry between Thea and Ben was arousing and engaging. I was in heaven. Loved all that was this story. Loved the dialogue between the characters and the playful banter was delightfully entertaining. I encourage all to wrap themselves up in this festive and cavity inducing sweet romance. I could not think of a better way to get into the festive spirit. A jolly 5 stars.
Manda Mellet has done it again, she creates amazing stories and I do love my MCs. I loved the characters. I loved seeing Red and his relationship with Cheryl. As always we are left with a cliffhanger.

Red has been through so much in his 25 years. His mother walked out on him and his dad and Red was left tending to his paralyzed father. Now he is out on the open road looking for his place if that is even a thing. I truly enjoyed Red and his plight. This story is largely character driven and does have a great story line. It starts of good and gets better. The only thing I would say if missing is more details. I like when I can actually picture what the author is describing. However that small detail will not be stopping me from reading book two.

The Mating Call (Long Claw Pride Book 1) by Brooke May – Review by Krista Vaughan
The mating call pulls you to your mate and makes everything so easy. What if you didn’t want that? How do you fight it? Cheyenne moved away. Even her stubbornness couldn’t deny the pull back to the Long Claw Pride to meet her mate. Lane felt the pull, too. He is ALL IN. He will do anything to show her that he is with her for life. Who doesn’t want a mate that is unwavering in their devotion and love for you? They have many obstacles but the forces pulling them together seen to have gotten it right. At least in my opinion! Such a great romance! Highly recommended!

The Elements of the Crown is book 1 of The Elements of Kamdaria by Kay L. Moody. This first book has a collection of 4 novellas. This was a really good read. I enjoyed the characters and the world it’s set in. In this story we meet Talise, a 7 year old girl, trying to escape the outer ring with the help of her mother. She joins the Elite Academy for Shaper with a single goal in mind, to become a Master Shaper. She made a promise and she will do everything to keep it. Tragedy strikes and after 10 years of training Talise could lose everything. Aaden also has a goal… and it so happens that his is just as important as Talise’s. How far will he go to get what he wants?

Moody – Review by Jessica Phillips
Love’s Reverie was a great sequel! I really enjoyed coming back to Kat and Phillip’s story and seeing it to the end. This was another heart wrenching tale of love, and having to find each other again. I still think I enjoyed the first book more than this one but this was amazing too. I absolutely love how well the story flows and how heartbreaking Fletcher manages to write this story. This had the perfect ending and I loved it, but I also hate that I don’t get to see their story unfolf anymore. This is definitely a story for the ages!

‘The Elements of the Crown’ by Kay L. Moody is the first book of ‘The Elements of Kamdaria’ series. It follows the journey of Talise as she strives to gain the title of ‘Master Shaper’ who has the honour of working directly with Kamdaria’s Emperor and is Talise’s last and only chance to rise out of generations of poverty and prejudice. A major highlight of the story is Moody’s worldbuilding- Kamdaria comes across as a living and breathing place with its class structures, beliefs, politics and institutions described in full and elaborate detail. Kamdaria’s lore isn’t explored in a way that’s ham-fisted or entirely expository- readers learn about this world through Talise and the other characters, their actions and the narrative itself. It also helped that Kamdaria was just so interesting- its inhabitants have the ability to ‘shape’ or control the elements of water, earth, fire and wind and it was a delight to discover how this society was modelled after this power afforded to most of its citizens and how it would affect its functioning.
A story is only as good as its characters and ‘‘The Elements of the Crown’ doesn’t disappoint. Talise is such a fleshed out and compelling protagonist and Moody allows for readers to sympathise with her easily- her bravery and determination is truly inspiring given her dire situation and background. At times, I found myself rooting for her, gasping at the sudden obstacles in her way or crying for her. The secondary characters are just as interesting and deep as Talise- Aaden Sato, for instance, is more than he appears and, despite his situation being so much different than Talise’s, their similarities are startling and its fascinating to see how Kamdaria’s governing laws can both disadvantage the weak and the strong and the poor and the rich in equal measure. Another notable character is the elusive Emperor of Kamdaria himself, Emperor Flarius, who’s machinations and schemes are delicious to untangle and discover.
In conclusion, if you’re in the market for a book with a rich storyline and characters, then picking up ‘The Elements of the Crown’ is a must. It is an excellent first entry and I cannot wait to read more.

Moody – Review by Hansini Wasalamudalige
Talise claws her way up from the bottom, as she lives in a world of outcasts, shunned from society, full of poverty, crimes of necessity and neglected misunderstood families. She is an innocent young girl that manages to find a way out and is given an opportunity to join rejoin society once again. She’s blessed with incredible magical powers that are unheard of. Along the way she meets a boy who is first her rival but soon comes to mean so very much more to her. I really enjoyed watching her incredible journey as she grows as a person and develops and hones her powers. This book is packed with magic, action, romance, heartbreak and loss, along with some plot twists that have left me eager to read the next book in the series. The author has done an amazing job of creating a magical world that you quickly get drawn into from the very first page.

A well developed tale of a young girl faced with a difficult future, Talise can bend (or manipulate) the elements. I truly enjoyed the Easter eggs the author added to the story and details such as the map really help the reader see what the author intended. I found out this was written as novellas after I read it and I couldn’t tell. I genuinely thought I was reading a well thought out and put together novel. I couldn’t put this book down until I finished it. I can’t wait to start on book 2 in the Elements of Kamdaria series!

This is the second Parker Lake story, but the first one I have read. From the opening scene where Breckin gets out of her car to help the sheriff move a donkey out of the middle of the road, I was hooked. I lived in a small town where livestock and wildlife could delay your travel time to work. This story did a great job of showing how quaint small-town life can be. Everyone knows everyone, knows everyone’s business, and knows all the town gossip. I enjoyed the comedy relief that Olivia Sherwood put in her story. Breckin and Griffin have their friends rooting for them to get together, they both deserve a happy ending after the heartache they have both been through.

Amazing. Debra Parmley has not disappointed me yet. I read the first book in this series and the second one was just as good. Leann seems to draw drama to her. Her sister Betsy is happily engaged to her man, and Leann is looking to settle down too. But can she find happiness with a police officer? Read this book if you like romance, suspense, and unpredictable story plots. I will be reading this again.

This book is one of my favorites, Red’s story. After Red’s father passes away, he decides to pack it up and move on where nothing is holding him back any longer. Red’s story is truly a journey. He meets a wonderful woman, Cheryl, and becomes instantly attached to her. Cheryl wanted nothing more to go with Red and have a journey herself but then decides it is not for her and ends up going back home. The journey takes Red first to Tucson where he joins the Satan’s Devils MC and eventually ends up in Vegas chapter and eventually becoming the Vegas chapter President.
The more I read Manda Mellett’s books, the more I just love each character. I really get drawn in to her storytelling and this story was hard to put down. I am so looking forward to book 2!!!

Book 2 of the Bobbins Sisters series, and I enjoyed it. It had a great flow to it, and Leann was a sweet girl. First book gave her kind of a wild feel, and this book we really get to see her in another light. The book reflects Leann starting a new job at a bank, and coincidently dating a gorgeous police officer. She tends to be more in tune to her surroundings, and her new bf is attentive and checks in consistently. When a robbery takes place at her new job things really become intense and we get to see all Leann has learned and get a glimpse of her man in blue in action. This book was light and fun, but still had the drama and suspense.

This started out slow for more me but as I got more involved, it really picked up for me. I enjoyed the elemental magic as well as the competition and strategy. There were several plot twists which really helped keep the hook that initially piqued my interest. This book felt like others I have read in this genre but with its own unique twist. I read this with the mindset of the target audience and I think that is what helped me feel connected when reading it. Overall worth the read.

What a great fantasy book! Talise, the main character has the ability to shape the four elements. She finds herself going to the academy to help shapers hone in their abilities. There was so much to this book that I really enjoyed. Especially the development of the main character at the end of the story. I love how the character really came together and tied down the story.

Blood Oath, the 2nd book in Amy McKinley’s Mafia Elite series had me hooked. I love all of McKinley’s books, but the Mafia ones are my favorite. There are a LOT of characters, which makes the first part of the book intense, but once I get a feel for who is dating who, and related to who, it all falls into place. This book could be read without reading the first, as they focus on different characters, but there are a lot of connecting story lines and details. They are all wonderful, so just do yourself a favor and read both. This book focuses on Enzo and Sofia, the younger generation of the Chicago Mafia families. They have been friends for life, and both share feelings for each other. However, Enzo is promised to another, in a marriage contract, which has had them fighting their feelings for years. When danger strikes, these two are thrown together and despite a deadly situation, it is exactly what they both need. I love that Sofia (and all the Mafia Princesses) are not delicate flowers. They are bada$$ women who are trained from a young age to fight, withstand torture, and shoot a gun. Their family bonds are wonderful too, with siblings sharing close bonds. I cant wait to read the next book in the series.

Rock Me to the Top: A Gracefall Rock Star Romance by Victoria Zak is a contemporary romance. This new adult romance is everything.
He fell for the deception. Joe Grace, the uber-sexy drummer, has it all except his closest friend Melody, with whom he wishes to share everything. When he hires Mel to organize his band’s tour, scorching summer evenings ignite a fresh desire that neither of them can deny, but their passion also rekindles the darkness that lurks under long-buried secrets and lies. Unless he bares his soul and puts it all on the line, he might lose the lady he loves. She was taken in by the fantasy. Melody Sterling has a long history with rock & roll. She had a front-row experience of the devastation that lifestyle had on her parents’ relationship as the daughter of a famed rocker. After that calamity, you’re dating a rock star? It’s not going to happen! Until one of her closest friends does. She joins Joe on their Gracefall summer tour, down on her luck—and presumably out of her mind—and quickly falls for the dream of his wild world. She must now decide whether her own aspirations are worth fighting for, even if it means losing the guy she loves.
I loved this story and the concept of it as well. 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.

Red’s Peril Part 1: The making of an MC Prez (Satan’s Devils MC Vegas Chapter) by Manda Mellett is one of the best Satan’s Devils Books I have personally read. If you have read Ms. Melletts previous books then the name Red will sound familiar. Full of wonderful writing, terrific main character, and great supporting characters Ms. Mellett did not disappoint with giving Red his own story. Red’s Peril Part 1 is filled with drama, emotional scenes, steamy scenes, and of course plenty of suspense. The only thing I was disappointed by is I was hoping for a happy ending for our Red and instead I got a cliffhanger, so I am eagerly awaiting part 2. So if your looking for a great new biker book then I highly recommend Red’s Peril Part 1: The making of an MC Prez (Satan’s Devils MC Vegas Chapter) by Manda Mellett.

The Elements of the Crown (The Elements of Kamdaria Book 1) By: Kay L Moody Genre: Fantasy & Young Adult Pages: 409
Finally I have found my new favorite series! This is all the way around Vampire Academy vibes. Female protagonist with magic and adventure. I just learned about different tropes and I can tell you this is a fan favorite. This is book one of the new best series out there I can sense it I am so excited for book two. Moody is the new Mead, I did not put this book down it is just adventure adventure adventure. Fantasy doesn’t even cut it you are transported to an entirely new world with characters that you will fall in love with. This is so fun, Moody knows how to build characters and have you turning every page and then in five hours your done. Five stars even though this deserves ten.

Moody – Review by Angela Renee Diaz
This book is only for those over 18 due to the graphic content within.
Red’s story starts with a death, after living in a regimented home life and working hard the rest of the time, Red is desperate for a change and when the opportunity arises, he gives his two weeks notice in and says goodbye to the man who gave him a chance and a place to both learn a skill and keep his sanity. He leaves after a small sending off gathering which reminds him of what he is leaving behind, and for a moment or two wonders if he is doing the right thing, but soon he is all packed and ready to head south to escape to a warmer climate on his refurbished bike.
A couple of days pass in a haze of riding, stopping at diners and motels, as well as a bit of sightseeing dotted in for good measure, that is until he arrives in a small town and is captivated by the woman working in the local diner, there is just something about her that intrigues him and so he decides to stay in the town and see what happens. As he spends a bit more time with the lovely lady, he ends up inviting her to stay the night, which shows how compatible in bed they are, as well as being kindred spirits at heart and in the morning, she asks to tag along for the ride and Red agrees. Things aren’t all good though when after only a couple of days, she decides that the life isn’t for her and she wants to go home, Red isn’t impressed with the sudden change of heart and leaves her on the side of the road at another small town diner to make her own way back.
He regrets this almost immediately and wishes he knew how to make sure that she got home ok, but as the miles pass and he travels around and gets talking to a couple of old bikers, he takes some of their friendly advice and finally decides on a destination to travel to, however, when he finds that he only employment he can get is with an MC club, he is initially reluctant. As he sees and hears more about the MC and that they are on the straight and narrow, he decides to give the club a change and agrees to prospect for them and as time passes he becomes more comfortable with the idea and starts to enjoy this new stage in his life, but now and again, he still thinks of the woman he left behind, but will his future lie with the MC, even after the novelty of it has worn off and he realises .exactly what he has let himself in for, or will he decide that the MC isn’t for him after all? This is a story about finding where you belong and how sometimes it isn’t where you would expect it to be, as well as how the plans you start out in life don’t always end up being how you finish them with lots of action and entertainment throughout.

Talise is only a child living in the empire of Kamdaria, but she is also one of the lowest caste of people who live there, she lives in the third ring known as Storm, it is a brutal place where the only people who survive there are criminals and there is no way out, once you are sent there, every generation which follows remains. Talise however, has something which the others around her don’t and because of this, the only other member of her family takes her to the middle ring of the empire, known as the Gate, it has taken years to get her there, but now they have arrived, they will not take no for an answer to their demands.
The reason Talise has come to the Gate region is so that she can be tested to see whether she can earn a place at the Academy where those with a talent for shaping the elements of Earth, Air, Fire and Water are tutored and taught all they need to become Shapers. Nobody from Storm has ever been a Shaper and so when they turn up at the end of the day, they are automatically dismissed as vermin and treated like scum, however, when her family is about to be assaulted, Talise shows exactly what she can do and earns herself a place in the Academy.

Red’s Peril Part 1: The making of an MC Prez (Satan’s Devils MC Las Vegas Chapter By: Manda Mellett Genre: Romance Pages: 393
I thought I loved Jax Teller but Red s giving true SOA vibes. This is a true journey as you read it is a whirlwind of emotion. Are you a fan of motorcycles? Now this isn’t the best book I have read but it is worth it and I am excited for book two Amazing cover art. This story is a romantic adventure of love quickly lost, a path that is unknown. Can dreams come true. Mellett has created a very original plot and theme. Where can you go wrong with love and motorcycles? Red is red hot in my mind and I am guessing in book two he will sizzle.

This book captured my attention from the very beginning. The magic system was interesting and the characters were well thought out. The main character has many terrible cards dealt to her, and experiencing her tackle each obstacle put in her way made this book such an enjoyable read. I also enjoyed the many plot twists. Talise is a character to route for from the start, but even as she rises up to each challenge, I liked that they didn’t all go her way. The story has action, magic, heartbreak, plot twists, and a touch of romance. I will definitely be looking into other works by Kay L Moody!

Moody – Review by Ashleyann Sanabria
As the start for the first book it odes start off a little rocky, and feels like you were thrown in the middle of something, but it does explain during the even what caused this to happen briefly. Could’ve used a little more background to the story, but being the first book of a series it was to be expected. Im hoping for more in the future! Dalhia is a good strong character. She battles adversary when it’s thrown her way with a little oops here and there. The murder mystery/fantasy is a good combination that we don’t see enough of. I hope it continues onto the other books this way, or if it will swing one way or another. The writing starts off a little clunky and not as smooth, but it does get better later in the book! I enjoyed reading it and cant wait to read the other books in this series!

Amy McKinley has done it again! This book is absolutely fabulous! This is book 2 of the Mafia Elite Series, but can be read as a standalone. I recommend reading the first book because it’s great and gives you more perspective. This book focuses on Sophia and Enzo. They have obstacles to overcome, but their love is strong. I love this series so far and cannot wait for book 3!

If you are looking for a fast suspenseful read, look no further, Check-In by Debra Parmley is a great suspenseful read. The details are amazing for this short story. The characters are created in the story rather quickly. It seems you start reading the book and the next minute you are done with it. Leann has a new job at a bank. Just her luck, the bank is being robbed. She hides and tries to call her boyfriend, the police officer. Will he be able to save her and the others in the bank? I recommend this book as it is a quick fun read.
