Raven Woman’s Tavern by Laura Koerber – Review by Allyson Ware
Very easy read and the detail is immaculate. The way everything is described from the main picture down to the minor itty bitty details that not many people think of. Definitely a book you have to pay attention to or you will miss a very important piece of the puzzle.
This book will have you considering who the bad guy is; a moral dilemma of sorts. When Baylor goes through what I would consider his “trials and tribulations,” you start to feel bad and want to help him through it. An overall interesting read.

Excellent second book! Picked up right where it left off. It’s honestly so well written and will grab your attention whether you think Scifi is for you or not! I really enjoyed this despite this genre not being my number one fave! The characters are amazing and it wasn’t a book that dragged and dragged. The author has done an amazing job and im so grateful I got my hands on it! I couldn’t put it down and when I was forced to I was constantly thinking about the book and wondering what would happen next! Definately worth a read!!!

Boy Released by J.D. Spero is the second book to Boy On Hold. This book takes place ten years after the murder that Tyler, then a little boy, witnessed. He is released from a psychiatric institution and reunited with his brother, Hen, and their family. Boy Released takes on mental illness and is full of suspense and thrills. This book, like the one before it, is HARD to put down. I recommend reading the first book before this one, but even if read on its own, this book would be enjoyable. The characters are so well-written, and climbing inside Tyler’s schizophrenic mind is intriguing and this family’s story will hook you until the very end. I was swept away and came to love this family from the first book, and it was no different with this one.

While I wouldn’t say this book was my favorite I will say it was well written and I feel like clearly I should have started at the beginning maybe. Read the whole series!

This was an exciting read; it is indeed suspenseful, and it has you looking forward to finish reading it. Tainted has a strong motivated protagonist that goes on a journey to find a fresh start, or is it? With just a lick of crime this is an adventurous read that deserves four stars. This read has you reminiscing of your high school love and the what if. Tainted will motivate you to find strength at your weakest moments and to look toward the light in the dark. This book takes you on a romantic ride to find the direction that fits a second chance. Marsha West has a way with words that sucks you into the story and makes you excited to read until the end. True page turner with a very intriguing love story.

If I wasn’t already a lustful person, this little holiday romance boxset really would have set those wheels in motion! I decided to pick up these stories one night when my partner was stuck at work overnight, hoping it would give me something very exciting to fall asleep to, and boy, was I right.
Tequila Sunset is a quirky little quick read, that is definitely a must read for those out there that have a thing for ‘silver foxes’ and attaining the unattainable. As someone that has always felt average, I could relate to Cass’s character, as well as having her little sex kitten side well hidden behind her normal persona. It was quick, sexy, and had some kinky thoughts running through my mind. It left me flustered, flushed, and very turned on.
Beneath the Sheets is a second chance romance quickie, where our main character Alex is travelling to visit his estranged best friend, Sarah Snow. His life had become complicated back home, and the exchange of emails led to him making the quick decision to fly to visit her. After not seeing her for so long, he finds that all those feelings he had before hadn’t gone away, in fact, they’d grown stronger, and he knew that they were meant to be. It was a nice change up from the wham bam thank you ma’am of the first story, including a brief background, and some nice build up to the bedroom scene. It gave my heart all the feels, and I found myself congratulating these two sweethearts on their HEA.
Overall, these quick reads were fantastic, and exactly what I was after. L.M Mountford has a special talent for writing these short erotica stories. Well done, consider me impressed. Will be back for more!

Slow Burn: An Enemies to Lovers Romance by A.K. MacBride is the second book in the Breathing Hearts series. This book can be read as a stand-alone. This book completely caught me by surprise. I was expecting a typical romance story like most within this genre. Instead I thought this book was so full of emotion that I couldn’t help but be drawn in. It really does take you on a journey of feelings. I loved each of these characters and the way they seemed to fit with other just right. They were each what the other person needed and neither of them were “perfect”. This is a new author to me and I loved this introduction to her work. I thought the book was absolutely fantastic and I am looking forward to reading more.

I thoroughly enjoyed this engaging novel, the first one I have read by this author but it definitely will not be the last. This romantic suspense story was a real page turner and had me hooked from page one. When socialite and philanthropist Elizabeth’s husband is arrested for money laundering she looses the trust of those in her hometown of Fort Worth. Having divorced her husband she takes her teenage daughter and their dog and drives to Red River, New Mexico to her family’s cabin to spend the summer. Liz was hoping for a peaceful holiday away from the suspicious looks and the FBI who still suspect her of knowing about her husbands crime, however danger seems to have followed her.
When Liz asks local law enforcement for help she’s surprised to find that the town’s marshal is her old high school sweetheart Matt. Matt had moved to Red River to escape the Dallas murders that took his partner’s life. Matt is determined to keep Liz and daughter Lauran safe. The more time Liz and Matt spend together the more they try to fight their attraction for one another but maybe they can both have a second chance at love. The setting really comes alive due to the descriptive narrative which made me feel immersed in the story. The characters are all likeable and relatable which helped me feel engaged with them. The storyline flowed well and the plot had plenty of drama, suspense and romance to keep me happily turning the pages. A great read and one which I recommend.

Caught by Him by Tammy Mannersly is a sweet romantic story about an unexpected meeting bringing love. The characters are so easy to connect with. This is quite a quick, easy read that takes no getting into. You just engage with the story straight away. I always enjoy the writing style of this author. I find it to be well paced with some great character development. As with all of her stories I thought this book was thoroughly enjoyable and an overall great book.

4.5 out of 5. A cute “why choose” romance that takes Greek Mythology and turns it on its head.
I typically find the second book in a series harder to get through than the first but this book had me reading through to see what happened next.
The God picks up where The Don leaves off, with Vanessa transported to the Underworld, Grey’s domain. She is concerned about her brother and mother, but knows what she did was the right choice. Now if only she can have the three guys circling her the way she wants, but Aroz can only partially appear, Grey has left her alone in his home, and Raef can’t travel to the Underworld. What’s a girl to do?
I enjoyed the further exploration of the relationships Vanessa has with each of the men. Grey takes front and center of this book, leaving me to assume one of the other men will do so for book 3.
Grey certainly lives up to the “asshole” category Vanessa has for men, basically ignoring her and running from her anytime she gets close to him. In the end though she literally turns everything Grey knows on its head and confronts his way of thinking. I enjoyed finally getting to see a softer side of him, as well as what goes on behind the scenes of Elysium.
I really enjoyed the addition of the new side characters. Gorgonita, Medusa’s daughter, whose essence has been housed in a handheld mirror, is integral to the storyline and acts as a bit of side-kick to Vanessa on her escapades throughout Elysium. I loved the addition of PK and her calls for food.
Can’t wait to read book 3 to see what’s in store for Vanessa and her men, uh I mean Gods.

Trigger warning of mental illnesses. I can relate to Branson with depression and ptsd. I also relate to Brandon’s mom, Tara because she just wants her child to be better and that’s my dad. I understand Branson not wanting to taint his twin Aaron with Branson’s demons. M. Billiter wrote this book expertly.

Tainted is a fantastic romantic suspense novel by Marsha R. West. I had not read any of this author’s work before reading Tainted so was unsure what to expect from this book. What I can say is it’s one of the best books that I have read in a while. I was really gripped by this book and did not want to put it down. I absolutely loved thew two main characters Matt and Liz. Both are very relatable characters and you really become invested in their story. Along with these two, Liz’s daughter Lauran and Matt’s daughter Sarah also play very large roles in the book. I really loved the relationship between Liz and Lauran. There is such a close bond between the mother and daughter and both would do anything for the other. There is a lot of drama and suspense in this book, related to Liz’s ex husband who is in prison for money laundering. He’s determined to get Liz back and causes mayhem for her, even from his prison hospital. Tainted is well written and the storyline flows really well keeping you entertained and gripped from the very beginning right up to the very end. 100% recommend this book.

Wow, this is an emotional and insightful story looking at mental illness from two perspectives, the person suffering with it and their family. Branson Kovac is a high school senior when he starts hearing voices in his head and then realises that his friend isn’t really there. Scared and confused Branson turns to his mother, Tara for help. Tara is a mother of four, and when one of her twin sons admits to her that he is hearing voices it is the start of her very worrying and harrowing journey into mental illness. This book really took me on an emotional rollercoaster whilst reading it, the storyline focuses on Branson and the people around him as he is diagnosed and treated with a form of schizophrenia. Told from two points of view that of Branson’s and Tara, his mother, this is a raw and honest story of mental illness and how it not only effects the one diagnosed but their family. A very difficult subject has been written about sensitively and honestly by the author. Although at times this was a difficult and upsetting book to read, I felt engaged with the main characters instantly and was completely immersed in their story.

Forbidden Mates takes us back into the world of Vampire Tasha and Lycan Levi. Having helped form a very rocky peace agreement between their two species, Tasha and Levi are still fighting to keep both their relationship and their species in tact. They are facing danger from not only outside sources like hellspawn, but friction within their groups as well.
These books are so great. Tasha and Levi are a formidable force together, and I enjoyed seeing their relationship grow and become stronger in this second novel. The enemies are becoming stronger and more clever, which I enjoyed. I am really looking forward to the third book in the series….except that is the end of their journey! I could read 100 more novels about this couple and never get tired of it! 5/5 Stars! Highly recommend!

Written in the Stars tells the story of two women-Elizabeth, 17 years old, pregnant, and alone in 1950. Her parents are ashamed of her decisions and take her to the Dartmouth house to have her baby. Marlena, successful nurse, just at the beginning of building her life with her fiance, Jack. But when Marlena’s dad becomes ill, she discovers a family secret that has been hidden her entire life. Determined to find her birth mother, Marlena sets out on a journey that changes not only her life, but those around her.
Oh my goodness, what an amazing story! This one I couldn’t put down. My heart broke for both Elizabeth and Marlena, and their stories kept me engaged for the entire novel. The heartbreak, tears, and joy are made so real for the reader, and I was rooting for the characters from page 1. I can’t wait to read more by the author!

It was a short, quick read. I thought Willa and Brody were sweet together. Overall, the plot was very light and things moved along. The conflict with Hayden and Carmody made sense to the story. I would have wished for just a little bit more depth overall. In the end though, it was a cute story.

Have you ever been so frustrated, overtired and filled with so much RAGE that only one little thing will push you over the edge….. Well this is where Marcy finds herself. One nightmare has driven her to the brink of uncomfortable RAGE. She’s alienated everyone close to her. And now to make matters worse the man she loves has given her an ultimatum, she has to get help or it’s over (what an ass). Just when she thinks life can’t get any worse she gets held at gunpoint…. that’s when it happens, that’s the point where her RAGE gets pushed over the edge of no return. But as luck will have it, that’s when she meets the one person that might just be able to get her back from the brink of disaster.
This is a, on the edge of your seat, nail bitting, page turning kind of book. Linda Burson knows how to hook you into a book coma. Marcy is a very well thought out character. The storyline definitely leaves you wondering. Don’t blink or you will miss something and believe me you will not want to miss anything. Great start to a great series.
And what makes this even better is you het the first 3 books in 1!!!! That’s a bonus because believe my you’re not gonna want to stop after the first book

5 Stars
I’ve got many things going on in my life right now that are super emotional. I have trouble sometimes letting those emotions out and although I can not relate to the exact subject of this book, except for the love a mother feels for her child, I can absolutely relate to the emotions it brought to the surface. This was one of the most beautiful, heartfelt, heartbreaking stories I have ever read. The writing had such a perfect flow that before I knew it, I was done with tears pretty much all the way through.
I did not read the first book in this series but it didn’t seem like I absolutely had to to understand and fall right into this book. Now I am sorry I didn’t read the first one but will as soon as possible and have also added this author to my watch list.
This is my first book ever by this author but will absolutely not be the last! I can not wait for the next book in this series.

The suspense in this book kept you on your toes, you are so into the characters that all of sudden something happens and you are shocked. When you think it couldn’t possibly get worst or that nothing else could happen to our amazing strong independent heroine you are wrong! The ending threw me for a loop, I thought all was peaceful and calm and the book took a different turn! I love the relationship she has with her daughter, it is nice to see her daughter support her through the hurricaine that was their father. There isnt much info on the son but that seems typical after the ordeal and the mess he had to pick up now managing all the stores by himself.

This is a beautiful and emotional story. As a parent it really tugs at my heart to imagine the pain that Betty goes through and also the pain and confusion Marlena goes through.
Betty and her boyfriend are madly in love and are planning to get married. However when Betty finds out she is pregnant her parents put into action a plan which will change all there lives for ever. This is the 1950’s and a child out of wedlock and at a young age is frowned upon. So against Betty’s wishes she is placed in a school for naughty girls and when her baby is born she gives her up for adoption.
No fast forward to 1980s and Marlena is living her life. She has it all. A loving partner who she plans on marrying, a job she loves as a midwife and loving parents.
When her father is taken ill and needs a kidney transplant Marlena doesn’t hesitate to volunteer to be tested. That’s when her parents drop the bomb shell and destroy her world. Her parents are her adoptive parents not her biological ones. Now Marlena is on a mission to find her real parents and learn their story. Will Marlena be able to find them or will she be too late to get the answers she is looking for.

Well-written tale of a divorced mom getting a second chance. She runs to her moms holiday home in New Mexico and there is her high school sweetheart. Toss in an ex in prison yet still harassing’s her and you have an exciting suspense novel that has some romance and a happy ending that will satisfy everyone. It’s nice to see women in med0life get a second chance.

I was a little skeptical of this book at first. Some sci-fi books tend to have the same themes. But this book was quite surprising. It was planned out very well in regards to the story line. I love the accept of it being no so in the distant future. The society and how it functions in this book are all but too real! Fantastic.
