Caine (Men of Syn Book 2) by Anise Storm – Review by Amber Day

Caine (Men of Syn, #2)Caine by Anise Storm
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

When I read the blurb I was salivating to read this book. It didn’t disappoint. I started this series with this book and will definitely be going back to read the first. Even though I didn’t start with the first book, it was easy to catch up and only made me want to backtrack and read Hawke. I fell for Caine hard and Emery is a perfect match for him. I will definitely be reading more from Storm in the immediate future. Thank you for a wonderful read.

My Soul to Give (A Demon’s Love Book 1) by M. A. Fréchette – Review by Krista Vaughan

Has there ever been a story you were reading that consumed all of your thoughts and made you want to read cover to cover in one sitting? Whether your answer is yes or no, you should REALLY read this novel! My obsession with Kai and Celina’s story was all consuming taking over my thoughts throughout my days. M.A. Fréchette has created a dangerous, sexy and unapologetic demon and a strong, sassy and passionate heroine. It starts out with a deal for revenge of her husband’s killers. The more she finds out about his life away from her the angrier she gets. The more time she spends with Kai the deeper her attraction and feelings for him grow. The more I read the more I wanted to read. I 100% recommend this book to 18+ with no triggers and a love for all things demon!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The Men Of Syn Series might just be one of my all time favorite series. The second book Caine – is definitely a 5 star, if not higher. This book not only has the dark romance aspect I LIVE for. Caine and Emerys chemistry and relationship overall was AMAZING. I can’t wait to read the next books. The Men of Syn and then Syn club – constantly stay at the forefront of my mind. This book I do feel had a more thrilling aspect then the first book did – but nonetheless it added a fantastic element to the story.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book was beautifully well written. The first chapter is what drew me in. You could see from her eyes the progress of what her little river was like before humans came and mucked everything up and then the sad decline and the after affects of us leaving. That chapter alone makes you stop and think about real life. We are cutting trees down at an alarming rate, are we destined to have a future like that of the book? It gets your mind going and thinking, and then it introduces the main characters of the book and takes you along for the story. Every small town is not what it seems. I loved this story so much, it’s being added to my bookshelf.

Caine (Men of Syn Book 2) by Anise Storm – Review by Alexandra Leith

Caine (Men of Syn Book 2)Caine by Anise Storm
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Caine is book two of the Men of Syn Series. It can be read as a standalone but I suggest reading Hawke (book one) first because it is amazing and it would help explain some things that could be a little confusing from book two if the reader hadn’t read book one yet.

I was so excited to read Caine because I loved Hawke and it did not disappoint! It is a romantic suspense just like book one but the storyline of the suspense is different. Caine is on the run from Washington DC because he has been accused of murdering his father and Emery loses her princess lifestyle that was provided by her father because he got caught up in a scandal. Both are just trying to survive and they end up finding eachother.

I was the most intrigued with seeing Emery grow into herself. She was pretty shallow and in some ways sheltered from the “real world” because her dad never let her want for anything. However, when the real world came barging into her life and ripped everything away from her she was able to grow into an amazing lead character.

The only downside is that for a book revolving around a BDSM club there isn’t many BDSM scenes. There is steam for sure but not really as much as you’d expect.

Romancing the Tropics (A Tropical Cocktail Romance Boxset) by L.M. Mountford – Review by Lorralei Hoerner

Romancing the Tropics : A Holiday Romance Boxset (A Tropical Cocktail Romance)Romancing the Tropics : A Holiday Romance Boxset by L.M. Mountford
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Romancing the Tropics is a steamy short read with 2 stories. The 1st story “Tequila Sunset” is a older man, younger woman steamy fling. Cassie is getting over a breakup with her boyfriend and spending time with her best friend at her dad’s house. Things get very steamy quickly when both Cassie and David (Cassie’s best friends dad) get some alone time. The 2nd story “Beneath The Sheets” is about Alex and Sarah, whom are best friends. When Alex breaks up with his girlfriend, he decides to hop on a plane to Australia to see Sarah, whom he loved since high school. Alex and Sarah rekindle their romance when they see each other again. Both stories were very good, and I really enjoyed them.

Romancing the Tropics : A Holiday Romance Boxset (A Tropical Cocktail Romance)Romancing the Tropics : A Holiday Romance Boxset by L.M. Mountford
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

These two stories were quick reads.

The first story, Tequila Sunset, is a best-friend’s dad story. Cassandra is enjoying a getaway off the Spanish coast after her latest boyfriend dumped her for being “boring”. Her best friend booked the tickets as soon as she heard what happened. The only other person at the house is her best friend’s dad, David. Cassandra has always thought David was hot…but she couldn’t possibly act on it…right?

David is enjoying his vacation home while he tries to overcome the writer’s block that seems to have taken up residence in his mind. His daughter and her friend are also at the house. He finds himself spending some extra time staring at how beautiful Cassandra has grown up to be. When his daughter goes out shopping, and he finds himself alone with Cassandra, it’s the perfect time to see if what he is feeling is mutual. When sparks fly between these two…there is no stopping them!

The second story, Beneath the Sheets, is a rekindling story. Alex is returning home to visit his friend Sarah after she reaches out to him after over 5 years of nothing. He doesn’t know why she upped and disappeared years ago…but he is determined to find out! However, the shy and baggy-clothed Sarah he knew from the past is gone. In her place is a beautiful and confident woman who he finds extremely attractive.

Sarah reaches out to David on a drunken whim (encouraged by a friend, of course). When David shows up not too long after…she knows she needs to tell him the truth. There is more to it than her just walking away after Prom. But, now that David’s back, so are her feelings that she has harbored for years. What happens if they act on their mutual attraction?

Both stories were good and I enjoyed them. They are definitely on the erotic side…so if that’s not your jam then be forewarned. I would definitely read books by this author again!

My Soul to Give (A Demon's Love #1)My Soul to Give by Magali A. Fréchette
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Let me start off by saying what a twist! M Night Shyamalan must have wrote this book. There were so many twists and turns that this author kept me on my edge of my seat to find out what would happen next! I thought I knew what was going to happen then BOOM! something entirely different happens instead.

My Soul to Give was about a woman named Celina whose husband was murdered in front of her. She is offered a deal to get revenge for her life and soul from a demon named Kai. I loved both these characters. Celina was very head strong and questioned just about everything Kai did and said which resulted in Kai being sassy and annoyed. It was very amusing to read these two interact with each other. Kai spoke and acted just as I would expect from a demon.

M.A. Frechette is an amazing writer. Everything just flowed and tied together nicely. My soul to give was everything. Romance, sex, drama, murder, mystery and even demons. I highly recommend this book to any adult who enjoys those things.

My Soul to Give (A Demon’s Love Book 1) by M. A. Fréchette is a perfect dark, paranormal romance. I was obsessed with the cover of this book as well as the synopsis and just knew that I had to read it and I was not disappointed. With a few religious undertones, romance, suspense, and so much more you’ll be hooked from chapter one and won’t be able to put it down until you’ve finished. This book has so many twists and turns that no reader could possibly guess what’s going to happen next and that just added to this books perfection. All I can really say about this book is wow, the characters are fantastic, the plot is flawless, and the overall story is fantastic. So if your like me and you need a great paranormal romance to read then I highly recommend My Soul to Give (A Demon’s Love Book 1) by M. A. Fréchette.

5/5 Stars

Caine (Men of Syn #2) by Anise Storm

This is the second book I’ve read by Storm. It’s also the second book in the Men of Syn Series. You’ll meet Emery and Caine.

Emery has always relied on her dad to support her. When he is arrested everything she has is now gone. She goes to Syn looking for a place to stay, but finds her Dom. The quote I chose for Emery is: “It wasn’t too bad. Chad and I made a ton of tips.”

Caine has left D.C. because he is wanted for murdering his father. He didn’t do it although he had evidence of him threatening his father. When he meets Emery he tries not falling for her, but he does. The quote I chose for Caine is: “Keep them right here and I’ll show you exactly how glad I am.”

Highly recommended for Erotica Romance lovers.

Dystopian Sci-Fi
This was a very interesting story. I have recently been a big fan of dystopian books, as we’re at a point in this world where everything feels so unsure. Add in some Sci-Fi, Stargate-ish stuff and you’ve got me hooked.
I enjoyed the different aspects of the multiverse used in this book. I felt the characters were well written, though I would have liked to know more about some of the secondary characters. The story was mostly fast paced, a little wordy at unnecessary times.
I hadn’t realized this was a spin-off series, but I will be checking out that series. I hope this series will be continued, as I feel the future of these characters could be interesting to read.

No Way Out (Mafia Elite, book 1) by Amy McKinley – Review by Francis O’Sullivan

No Way Out (Mafia Elite, #1)No Way Out by Amy McKinley
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

No Way Out is the first book in Amy McKinley’s Mafia Elite series. I’ve really enjoyed reading some of McKinley’s other books – the action romance series Gray Ghost and the romantic Moonlit Destination series – so was excited about a new series to get into!
No Way Out is an action-packed page-turner from the word go. Max has been set a dangerous mission, and one that speaks to his own troubled past. He has to maintain his new identity to get close to his target, and avoid attracting too much attention. McKinley treats us to plenty of details along the way, whilst keeping some twists to drop later in the book.
As usual in McKinley’s writing, we have a fantastic heroine in Liliana. Although often in need of a bit of rescuing, McKinley’s heroines always hold their own and bring something unique to the table. Liliana has much to come to terms with about her family and Max is well placed to help her if she can trust him, but understandably she is very careful about where she places her trust.
I’ve not read much mafia fiction previously, so this was a great insight into the world. If you’ve enjoyed McKinley’s other action romances, or are a fan of mafia romance, this is definitely worth a read!
This book gets five stars from me. I can’t wait to read more of the series when they come out.

Amazing.

I thought I loved Hawke, but goodness Caine takes it to another level! I adored this story so much. It had everything you would want in a suspenseful romance. Emery, a girl high on her throne, gets knocked down because of scandal. Though, she is bound and determined to clear her father’s name. In turn putting her life back in order. Caine walks into her life bringing his own baggage into her chaos or should I say storm. Their love shines through in every aspect. I love the connection and just their interaction with each other. An alpha man and the woman he loves. You could not ask for more! I can not recommend this series more!

Code Name: Vulture: Dark Vampire Romance (The Order of the Condor Series Book 1)Code Name: Vulture: Dark Vampire Romance by Maya Daniels
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Code Name: Vulture is the first book in a new series about a woman, Danielle, who is a curator of a museum. The story starts at an auction where she is “guaranteed” to obtain an ancient artifact that holds many secrets. What she doesn’t realize is she is not the only one after this particular artifact. After being outbid, she obsesses about losing the artifact to some stranger. What she doesn’t know is that he will not be a stranger for long, but her mate. I really enjoyed this first book. As someone who loves dark vampire romances, it did not disappoint. While I did think that it started a little slow and confusing, I was able to catch up pretty quickly. Once I was a couple chapters in, I was hooked. Now, there are a lot of these types of novels, so I am always looking for a different point of view. I think the author did really well with bringing a new aspect to the stories we have heard in so many different ways. I look forward to the rest of the series.

Fight For It is a great novella by Amy L Gale. This was the first time that I had read any of this author’s work but I’m sure I will read more as I really enjoyed Fight For It.
Although this book is only 108 pages the author manages to pack a great deal of content into this short book. I devoured this book in one sitting, not wanting to put it down until I got to the end.
I really loved Ray and Alyssa’s story. I thought at first that this was going to be the typical best friend’s little sister story but it was far from it and that made it all the more enjoyable.
As much as I loved both of Ray and Alyssa’s characters there were times that I really wanted to smack Ray on the head an knock some sense into him.
If you want a quick read that will keep you engaged then Fight For It is the book for you.

Caine (Men of Syn, #2)Caine by Anise Storm
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Caine is the 2nd book in the Men of Syn series by Anise Storm. It is a great opposites attract contemporary romance novel. I had thoroughly enjoyed ‘Hawke’, the first book in the series and was looking forward to reading more of the men of syn. I can say that I enjoyed this book even more than the first one.
Caine is on the run, suspected of murdering his father. What he doesn’t expect is Emery Wilder, a spoiled princess who has everything given to her by daddy.
When Emery’s world crashes in on her, it is Caine who comes to the rescue, showing a very different character from the one he likes to portray.
I really enjoyed reading Emery and Caine’s story. You couldn’t get two people who are more different, yet they just make sense together.
This story had me gripped from the very beginning and kept me entertained and engaged throughout the whole book. The story is well written and flows very well and you just want to keep on reading more about this couple.
100% recommend.

No Way Out (Mafia Elite, #1)No Way Out by Amy McKinley
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is a great start to the series. I love Mafia romances and this one is definately a great one. The story was easy to read. Some Mafia stories can get confusing with the different families  but the author makes the families easy to follow. Liliana is an amazing character. I love her fighting spirit and how strong and determined she is to save herself. Max is your typical alpha who is out to regain what was taken away from him by destroying the people in his way and protecting the people he loves.

Liliana is the daughter of the Mafia boss Benito. Even though she looks and acts like a proper Mafia princess the reality is much different. All she is to her father is a possession, something he can use to get what he wants out of life. Liliana  is desperate to leave and get out from under her father’s rule but her only hope is to change one guilded  cage for another by marrying someone her father chooses.

Max has been sent in undercover by Liliana’s grandfather. His mission is to get Liliana away from her father and keep her safe. Hopefully taking down her dad’s drug business in the process so that he can regain what should be rightfully his. What Max didn’t expect was to fall for the Mafia princess. Now he had a problem can he keep his cool and stop himself from showing his feelings while at the same time protecting her from danger? Or will his cover be blown resulting in putting himself and Lilian in danger.

After reading and loving book one, I had high expectations for this book. I was not disappointed. This book is HOT! It will take you on a thrilling ride that will leave you breathless. This is Caine and Emery’s story. Emery is a high maintenance socialite and Caine is from the wrong side of the tracks. Under normal circumstances, their paths would never have crossed. Fate had a different idea. He’s on the run fir a crime he didn’t commit. Tragedy strikes and leaves Emery penniless. A chance meeting during a thunderstorm starts something that will change them both. When secrets are revealed, as they usually are, can these two forgive to have their happily ever after?

Danger, intrigue and serious erotica. This story is exciting and will have you flipping the pages in record time. I think I loved this book better than the first. Hopefully the author will write book three.

Oh my, is it HOT in here or is this a good book? Book 2 of the Syn series has Caine coming to Colorado to help out at Hawke’s club. He’s in trouble for his father’s death, which he didn’t do. He crosses paths with Emery, Charlotte’s best friend. Her father is in prison for drug trafficking. There’s a whole lot of drama going on, with a lot of action, a few twists and turns, and some spicy moments (18+ please). The author has an excellent way of engaging so that you just can’t put the book down. The characters actually sound like the people you might run into downtown when you go to Denver. It’s been a treat to read this series. I definitely recommend you get out and pick this one up. You’ll like it too.

We’re still with Tyler in this third installment of a series I’ve grown to love. As an advocate for mental illness in real life (outside of being a reader), I was heartbroken at how they stigmatized Tyler. My heart also goes out to Hen as he’s dealing with a lot on his own as well: This book is what I call refreshingly honest. From that perspective, I dove right in and was gripped with all of this story and never looked back. I love this book so much I keep re-reading. Pick it up and enjoy!

This book gripped me in so many ways as a mother I could never imagine a time like these. As both of my kids are out of wedlock and coming from a religiously strict family, this hit home as I choose to live as a mother who is single (by choice) and it’s weird to travel back in this book. I could only imagine how Betty feels as she’s left to an unruly world after her baby is given away and no idea where the child’s father is and what this means for them. Then, decades later we follow that child to discover her truth of adoption: I won’t give anything away but I loved how and where this story ended because it was meant to be written the way Ms. Angela Archer orchestrated it. Great read!

Swindler’s Revenge
The Karina Cardinal Mysteries
Book 5
By Ellen Butler
☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆
This is another story in the Karina Cardinal Mysteries. While this series could be read as standalones I recommend you read this series in order.
Karina Cardinal is at it again. This time it’s her ex boyfriend that is in trouble with the FBI. So she sets out to find the answers as well as the truth. Although jumping with both feet is never a good idea. She goes for it. Ex meaning she and Mike broke up months ago. That does not mean she does not care. Something is not right, she knows Mike would never take the money and disappear like this. So will Karina again save the day? Is Mike really who they say he is?

Ellen Butler has once again knocked the ball out of the park. This story is well written and a true laugh out loud mystery. But you know it has some of those heart stopping moments. I love the characters all with their own challenges. Karina makes this story run, but nothing better than helping an ex in trouble. I could not put this one down, I just had to finish as it was that captivating. Ellen Butler, you have once again given us the right feels! Well Done Ellen Butler! Well Done! !

An unexpected intriguing story. There are a wide variety of characters and range of adventures. There is a lot for sci-fi fans to enjoy.

Overall a very good read packed with a gambit of emotions and even some romance that kept my interest until the end.
