Forever: A Diamond Doms Novel by Ivy Nelson

Forever: A Diamond Doms Novel is actually book nine in this series by Ivy Nelson. Going in I honestly had no idea so with that being said I will definitely going back to the beginning to see what has happened. I’m a fan of Dark Romance mixed with Erotica this one definitely fit the bill. There are plenty of hot and steamy BDSM scenes that will leave you needing to cool down. Russell has one job and that is to keep Holly and her friend Gemma safe . Holy Cow these two together is pretty intense. Can he keep Gemma safe? Will he break the rules? I fell in love with both Gemma and Russell’s characters and will be going as quickly as I can to grab this whole series from the beginning. I must know where and how everything started. I highly recommend reading this book to find out what happens next. I look forward to reading more from this Author.

Love’s Refrain (The Stardust Duet, Book 1) by K.G. Fletcher – Review by Jeannie Anderson

Love’s Refrain takes the reader on a mesmerizing and breathtaking journey. It is truly an epic love story. The love between Katherine and Philip is genuine and sweet. I adore that the book is told from both Katherine and Philip’s perspective. The story is flawless and flows easily between the present and 1947. Each character is so richly developed that you can almost hear Katherine singing or Phillip playing the piano. This was truly delightful to  read. I cannot wait to devour the rest of Katherine and Philip’s love story in Love’s Reverie.

What an intriguing book! What is reality? Which is the dream? Gavin is a very interesting character. A cop with heart and a very interesting personality. Lou, Gavin’s new partner, is an intriguing woman that excites Gavin in more ways that one, is smart and shows how she can go with the big guys. I literally could not stop reading once I started. I was pulled into the story and wanted to figure out if this was a dream or reality. The plot was exciting, with its twists and turns. These a bit of spice spattered throughout to heat up the action. For 18+. Strongly recommend.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

If you like mythology, you will love this book. This author has an amazing descriptive writing talent. I could see the words painting a picture in my mind. The characters are complex, complicated, and easy to relate to their personalities. In this story, there are ups and downs, ins and outs, twists and turns that kept me on the edge of my seat. Kallen has pledged his sword to the Titanian. Talaith is a Titanian warrior that is a beauty. When they are attacked their passion comes seeping into play they are a force to be reckoned with. Can they become passionate with one another like they are passionate about fighting against the daemons? I highly recommend this book to find out for yourself. Just have enough time to finish the entire book in one sitting.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is the seventh book in the Logan McKenna series by Valerie Davisson. I love a good crime story and this book has it all. Not only is there murder, crime, and suspense, but also drama danger, and tension. Logan has been through a lot in the previous books, but this one is a bit much even for her. Logan has a small problem because those around her are becoming suspects. Can Logan figure out who is the real murderer or will she be a little too late? I highly recommend this book to everyone who loves a great crime story.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Why We Don’t Die in Dreams was a wild journey from start to finish. I honestly could not put it down. So many twists and turns that it got me hooked first thing.

The main character, Gavin, is having these strange dreams about a woman who always says something along the lines of “he killed her, don’t let him kill me.” Gavin thinks they are strange but thinks nothing of them at first. As time goes on, a woman is found dead in a dumpster. Gavin realizes that maybe his dreams are more than that. You then follow Gavin all over the place to find out what is real and what is not.

The author, Debbie Zello, did an amazing job with this book. With so many twists and turns you would think she had trouble keeping track but it was flawless. The transitions were really smooth. I loved the way Debbie wrote Gavin. Handsome, fit, witty, sarcastic but still a flawed gentleman. I fell in love with him instantly.

The only thing I did not enjoy was the book ending. I must read more!!

Love’s Refrain (The Stardust Duet – Book 1)
By: KG Fletcher
Pages:267
Genre: Romance

I have never read a book so fast!
If you love love and time travel this is for you.
A tale of love, time and death, is time enough?
A true story that love conquers all.
What would you do if you were transported back in time.
In 1947 the female lead goes on a journey that will have you wanting to skip to the end, I almost read the last chapters first because I was captive after the first page.
KG Fletcher has a way with words describing the story in a ay that makes you feel as if you are a character right there on the page living scene to scene.
Five stars and I cannot wait until book two. I hope I get time to read this again soon.

This book was a fantastic continuation of Titanian’s Phoenix, the beautiful and complex lore and magic in the first book is added onto beautifully. This book follows Kallian and Tallarith and the rest of the group as they continue in their fight against the evil threatening to overthrow them and their continued fight to protect all other magic, supernatural creatures, and humans from the evil conspiring against them. I absolutely loved these books, magic is found on every page. Highly recommend this book!

Why We Don’t Die in Dreams by Debbie Zello is a page turner that keeps you guessing every step of the way. Just when I thought I figured something out, it twisted and I was wrong! I was quickly sucked into it, and I was kept that way the entire time. I love books that make it hard to figure things out, it can be really hard to do. But Debbie Zello does an excellent job of keeping your guessing and guessing wrong. I think everyone would enjoy this book! I can’t wait to read the next part!

This book was absolutely spellbinding! The complex world and magic was perfect and the characters were so well written and I just loved every page. It is very fast paced and hard to put down. I loved the lore surrounding Soren and Maya and reading their story as the plot developed was thrilling. There is plenty of steamy romance and plenty of action also. The story revolves around Maya and Soren and their inner circle as they fight for all of the good with magic, supernatural creatures and humans against the evil determined to turn the tide in their favor. The other characters in their inner circle all have complexities and I hope to read more about them. All in all I am in awe of the magical world and lore built in this story and can’t wait to read the next book! Highly recommend this book!

Goddess of Everything: A Blood-Curdling Tale of Truth, Freedom, and Love by Paul DeBlassie III – Review by Elizabeth Sanchez

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

Goddess of Everything is the only book I have read by Paul DeBlassie III. It was very dark and twisted psychological thriller. It wasn’t scary in the sense I couldn’t sleep, but more, when you think about it, the characters and story is pretty messed up. It is a story mainly focused on Mother Juana, a religious superior in Aztlan del Norte. This city has history of the supernatural, and events that cannot be explained any other way. Mother Juana runs an orphanage, and her son grows up to be a counselor of those children. He loves his mother and is blind to her cruel nature and the disappearances of children from her Orphanage. Gabriel (mother Juana’s son) tries to see the good in everything, but his wife, Consuela, has her doubts. When Consuela and their son disappear, and are believed to be murdered, Gabriel is the primary suspect. He expects his position, and that of his mother, will be his saving grace. Instead, things take a 180 and Gabriel is left to make some hard decisions about his life and his dedication to his mother. This story will mess with your head. The writing is very descriptive and provides great imagery. You can envision the events as they happen, and develop strong feelings toward the characters.

The Last Danann by Victoria Saccenti is the third book in the Titania Chronicles. This is a brilliant story that really pulls you in. As soon as I started reading this book I found it hard to put down. I wanted know how the story would develop, how everything would turn out. I really enjoyed the two main characters and their journey. They go through so much during the course of this book and for me it just makes them stronger and more interesting.
This isn’t the first book that I have read by this author but I think it is definitely one of my favourites so far. I am looking forward to seeing what is next from her.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The story of Russell and Gemma is a steamy one. They are perfect…Russell being the sadist DOM who only had subs until he meets Gemma who at the time is married so he of course doesn’t do married women after his past.

Gemma is his match in every way, the way they talk to each other just oozes chemistry. Her kinks and what she likes matches his. Gemma wants him from the start but her in name only marriage stops it from happening. At least for a little bit. He can’t resist her. This book is so good I want to read it again and again and again.

The Bastard Prince (It's Raining Royals, #2)The Bastard Prince by Alix Nichols
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Alix has done it again. This story involves Sasha, who has kidney disease and refuses to allow it to run her life. She is the next key to the key and has no idea what kind of adventure she is in for. Arnaud, the good-looking plastic surgeon who knows nothing about his family line or where he really comes from is in for quite an awakening when he is approached by people from Mount Evor. This romance appeared to progress a bit quicker than in the last book, but everything about it felt right. I love that Alix can continue bringing her characters to life with every chapter that I read. I am still absolutely in love with this storyline and cannot wait to see what the future books bring. I am hoping for more of the men to find their true loves and discovering what is to become of Kurt and Mount Evor. Seriously, if you haven’t picked up one of these books yet, it’s time!

To be a Fae Queen (Realm Chronicles #1)To be a Fae Queen by Tricia Copeland
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book truly captured my heart right from the start, I love anything regarding Fae and the cover was so beautifully illustrated I could not say no to starting this series! The beauty of the world of the Fae came out alive, and the characters were so real and wonderful, especially Titania she is someone who had so much growth at the beginning of the novel and seemed to only grow as I read through!

Titania was more than just a remarkable character. She had lost a lot, and gained as ruler of her kingdom. With a heavy heart she was putting the kingdom’s land best interest first. The path that is destined is not always seemed easiest even with the most light though. She had many options on how to ho about things, but was really was that her true fate and perhaps her stories she knew of within the deep of her land? Would a marriage be her downfall? She was very strong willed and I found she really put her heart in all she did! The book had me hooked as I said right from the start, as I read though, I was more and more under its spell. A lot of things happen, and seriously it made the book so captivating in many ways and I had to keep reading to see what Titania would have to face and endure!

The book was so well written. The characters and as well as the visual aspects of the novel itself, of Titania’s world really came to life for me as a reader. I honestly felt I was in their world as well. I loved it and it was amazing, it was a remarkable book with a story that does not come along often. I for sure will be reading more in the series. This one hooked me and did not let me go. I really think a lot of people would enjoy this amazing author as well as be captivated by this novel as much as I was!

Noémie’s Journey AUDIO BOOK by Victoria Saccenti – Review by Bobbi Wagner

This is my first audio book by this author which I enjoyed from beginning to end.  I enjoyed being pulled into the story by the narrator’s tone of voice.  I also enjoyed how they kept it engaging for me.  The characters are not only connectable but the narrator also did a great job of bringing them to life.  This is a story about Noemie and Richard.  They are opposites, one running from the past and the other trying to make a future.  What will fate have in store for these two?  Can love find a way or will it be nothing but heartbreak?  I really liked both of these characters and their chemistry together.  It is a great romance story that I highly recommend.  It is not only worth listening to but it will keep you listening to the end.

Love’s Refrain is the first book I’ve read by K.G. Fletcher and it was just a decent read for me. The story was nice but I got a bit bored with the descriptions of everything. Just too long winded for what I typically enjoy reading so I felt it could have been a more concise story. I was hoping to get absorbed into the story based on all the positive reviews, but I personally struggled to continue reading but I persevered to finished it. I just did not get all the feelings the other reviewers alluded to. With this mentioned, the overall story line was good, with an unconventional love story that goes from past to present.

The Bow (Her Three Immortals, #3)The Bow by Hazel Storm
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Hazel Storm has done it again!! With so many stories to figure out and so many past occurrences coming back to people, it is like a mind field… in a good way though. Which I think is the perfect statement to describe this book based on where Vanessa spends time in this story. The Bow made me emotional and a book hasn’t done that in a long time. Even though the part I got emotional at was just a short little couple of chapters, the lead up to the event, especially if you have read the first two books, just makes the scene so strong and you just want to hug everyone involved. There are still so many questions that aren’t answered and I just want to know!! From the first page I was sucked into the story. We learn more about the characters and we see so many more of the backstories of the brothers. This book added a lot of context to the story and now I am more invested than I was before. I can’t wait to see what happens next!

This book is not for the faint hearted and tackles some very controversial subjects but I would not shy away from the book. Great suspenseful read.

There are details in this story, that will shock some, and had me stopping at times, but it’s so very good that you do keep going and going until the last page where you are left wondering.

This story was honestly such an amazing read. It was beautifully written and I was completely captivated from the very first page. The author transported me back in time to 1947 and even with the switching of time period I wasn’t confused at all. The planning that clearly went in to this story shone through as it was seamlessly written. I loved the characters Kat and Phillip – their story was so sweet and I just loved reading about them. Their story wasn’t all plain sailing and I was so invested in what I was reading about them that I was rooting for them the whole way through.

I don’t think 5 stars is enough for this story, it truly was an amazing read and I cannot recommend it enough to other readers. Love’s refrain is a fantastic story with brilliant characters and was a truly wonderful read! I cannot wait for book 2!
