Mr. Nice Guy (Pierce Brothers, #1)Mr. Nice Guy by Belinda Williams
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Mr Nice Guy is the first book in the Pierce Brothers Series by Belinda Williams. It is a great contemporary romance. I became a fan of Belinda Williams after reading the Freshwater series and was looking forward to a new series. I can safely say that this series has got off to a fantastic start. I really loved Mr Nice Guy which is a great example of a friends-to -lovers romance.
When Tom gets sick of his flatmate Chelsea complaining about her endless stream of loser boyfriends he offers her a proposition – give him seven days and seven nights to show her how good a nice guy can be.
I absolutely loved Tom and Chelsea. Tom is totally devoted to his job as a paramedic and Chelsea loves her job in childcare but is unsure of her future. Together they make such an amazing couple and there are many funny exchanges as Tom shows Chelsea how much better life can be when you are with a nice guy.
We do get a brief peek at some of the other Pierce brothers whom I assume we will get to know very well throughout this series and I’m intrigued to learn more about them.
100% recommend this book and look forward to the rest of the series.

Lake of Flowers (The Lord Hani Mysteries, book 5) by N.L. Holmes – Review by Angela Hayes

Lake of Flowers (Lord Hani #5)Lake of Flowers by N.L. Holmes
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

 

Lake of Flowers is the fifth book in The Lord Hani Mysteries by N.L Holmes. As with the other books in this series, this is a mystery set in ancient Egypt- a story full of historical details that give it a rich and vibrant feel with plenty intrigue, drama, hidden agendas, politics, secrets, danger, duty, family, interesting characters, and more.
I have followed the series right from the beginning and have developed quite a soft spot for Hani, our MC in the series. He is a great character and I enjoy following him on his ‘adventures’. But this story isn’t about to let him ease up any- as there is a theft to investigate which leads to sinister agendas. Hani’s loyalty, duty, ideals, and diplomatic skills will be tested as he becomes caught in a battle between two warring forces. What transpires makes for a really great read.
As expected- this story once again showcases the authors passion for history- and especially this time period- her in-depth knowledge and familiarity with the historical aspects of the era really does enrich the whole story/series.
Looking forward to seeing what Hani gets up to next…
Happy Reading!!

Thank you, N.L Holmes!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the 4th book in the Antipodes series and it was just as enjoyable as the first 3. I would really recommend reading these books in order so you get the whole story. The author does an amazing job at creating the scenes and also creating characters you connect with. This book is another adventure from beginning to end with twists and turns you don’t see coming.

In this book we are back with Cam and Freyja. Finally together and settled in a blissful life their world seems complete. Until two old friends/enemy’s turn up with news and theories to rock their world.

I loved this book! It’s a feel good book about a boy and a girl who meet each other in an unconventional way. Boy likes girl, girl knows better. The characters are very relatable and really make you feel like you are in the book. The writing style is easy to read and addicting to get lost in. It makes you miss your college days and really remember to cherish those close to you. Read this book if you like witty banter, romantic build up, and a relatable coming of age story.

Holy Wow, what did I just read! Yes, a fantastic book for sure. This story just sucks you in right from the beginning. The story of Samantha Wycoff, whom just endures every mother’s nightmare, her son was beaten and passes. The plot of revenge against Thomas’ girlfriend, Velvet Flores, should be sinister. We have then Micah come into the picture, Thomas’ friend, help Samantha grieve but then plot the revenge on Velvet. There were some twists and turns to get to an end result, but will the revenge on Thomas’ death be a reality or fail? You definitely have to read this book, it is fantastic.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Jameson, 16 year old loner living with his single mom, longs for a relationship with his father. When he finds an old notebook in the attic that describes proper way to be an arsonist, Jameson decides to follow in his father’s footsteps in the hopes that it will catch his father’s attention and he will come back home.

Pete is the victim of an arsonist, losing his young son in a fire. Hell bent on revenge, Pete will stop at nothing to make the arsonist pay. He quickly becomes consumed with finding his version of justice for his son.

Wow…The Arsonist’s Handbook is a great read. The characters are likeable, relatable, and real. The emotions from Pete are heart wrenching, and the desire of Jameson to have a relationship with his father is as well. Told from alternating points of view, as well as including chapters from the notebook Jameson finds, this book kept me on the edge of my seat until the last page. I highly recommend this novel to anyone who enjoys a good psychological thriller! The ending was completely unexpected! I can’t wait to read more from L.A. Detwiler!

The Divine Devils by R. Weir is the first book I’ve read by this author. First of all, from the beginning of the first chapter it caught my attention. The description of the daily routine for the children and the men protecting and guarding them got my interest. Then learning about Hunter Divine a bit and the reason why he takes a job when a former girlfriend reaches out for help. The next thing that I appreciated was getting the back story on the characters working with Hunter Divine and how each of them met him. What kept me reading to the end was the intrigue, suspense, and wondering who and why these kids are being targeted. I would recommend this book to friends and family in a heartbeat.

I have to admit that the book cover grabbed my attention and I knew I had to read it. I am not familiar with Laurencia Hoffman but I will be seeking out her other stories. The plotline is amazing. There was a darkness lurking about with a side of M/M romance for flavor. There are many emotional highs and lows. I was turning the pages faster and faster because I needed to know what was coming up. Her characters are fully developed and complex in nature. Shane has some deep secrets that could be deadly. He puts up a tough front until Callan pushes through the walls. To find out what happens to Callan and Shane you will have to read the book. Believe me, it is worth the read. I cannot wait to read Remember His Name book 2.

I also love stories that are written in dual POV’s. The story is very short, and it was over before it really got started so it would have been nice if it were longer.

This book is packed full of such amazing writing. I was thoroughly impressed with this first book in the series. It managed to balance introducing quite a few side characters and giving them depth and backstory while not overwhelming the reader with too much to keep track of. The main characters in particular are written with so much intricacy that you immediately feel connected to them and invested in their story.

Deva, our main heroine has been hiding from a past that she is terrified of returning to but an obligation to pay off a debt pushes her to confront her past and in doing so she meets Aleksei, a fighter with an story of his own full of twists and turns. He has a sexy alpha personality but is there more to his story than meets the eye? And will Deva let herself fall for someone who reminds her so much of the past she left behind?

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is a wonderful dive into Ancient Egypt, and all of the wonderful colours, sights, sounds, and possible intrigues. There are lots of characters and motives going on here, with interesting subplots that add depth to the story. It is rich with imagery of food, scenery, and costume; it is easy to picture yourself amongst the orchards or lush palaces. I have to admit that this was the only book I’ve read in the series, and so I found some of the character and governmental names to be challenging to recall and keep straight. However, there is a glossary of names and terms at the beginning which helped to reference things. All in all, this is a very well written work, that fans of Ancient Egypt will devour.

This book only adds to that. I would strongly recommend reading this series in order as it follows the same character throughout.
With this book we are taken on yet another intriguing journey with Lord Hani as he tries to figure our another mystery. It is always so easy to fall back in with this character, almost like you have never left him in the first place.
As with the rest of the series it is great that the authors obvious passion for history comes through. I think it adds to the whole experience. This is a great addition to the series and I am looking forward to whatever is next.

This is another fantastic read by N.L Holmes. The Lord Hani Mysteries is a series I highly recommend. Each book keeps getting better and better.

Hani is once again put in the middle of something that doesn’t involve him. The Queen needs his help, but then he’s put in a dangerous spot. His daughter is also put in the middle of the same mess. The quote I chose Hani is: “I don’t know. There’ll almost certainly be an uprising as soon as the king dies. That may be the moment this whole bizarre experiment falls apart. I can’t imagine there are many real believers. Most people, like our Aha, are committed only to please the king and advance their careers.”

Highly recommended for Historical Mystery lovers.
