I loved this romantic comedy by a favourite author of mine Belinda Williams. ‘Mr. Nice Guy’ is the first book in a new series featuring the naughty but nice Pierce Brothers. This was a lighthearted, fun read with plenty of romance and a bit of drama which had me happily turning the pages. The storyline flowed well making it an easy read and the authors descriptive narrative bought both the characters and the setting to life. The story had the right mix of laugh out loud moments, emotional moments and of course romance leading to some steamy scenes. I was hooked from page one and could not put this book down. I fell in love with the very likeable and relatable characters, especially Tom and Chelsea. Chelsea is used to dating ‘bad boys’ but her housemate Tom is fed up of her complaining about her boyfriends and says she should give a ‘nice guy’ a try, someone like him! “Give me a week. Seven days and seven nights. I’ll show you what it’s like to be with a nice guy”, the only rule is that it’s not a friends with benefits arrangement. However, It’s not long before Chelsea realises that nice guys can play dirty too. This was such an entertaining, enjoyable and engaging read which I definitely recommend.

This wonderfully written story is full of historical detail and time period social niceties all of which added to the feeling of being immersed in the era. When Lady Isabel Carlyle breaks into the Viscount Matthew Paul Rutherford’s residence she believes him to be out of town so does not expect to be faced with an angry Viscount aiming a pistol at her heart. Even though Isabel was trying to put the stolen property back and retrieve her own the Viscount Rutherford was not impressed. However, Matthew sees that this might be an unexpected solution to his current problem, of having to find a bride within the month. Having chosen two different damsels from Almack’s marriage mart who then had fatal accidents he is running out of time, and so offers Isabel a choice, marriage to him or gaol. The authors descriptive narrative bought both the characters and the setting to life. I was hooked from page one and the storyline flowed well and the plot twists kept me happily turning the pages. I recommend this enjoyable and engaging historical romance and look forward to reading future books by the author.

I was gripped by this dark psychological crime thriller by Detwiler. Sixteen year old Jameson Wills has never known his father but is keen to find out about him. However having found an old journal in the attic the things he discovers about his father are very disturbing. Reading the journal he learns that his father had a secret addiction to arson and soon Jameson begins to wonder if he also had the “desire to burn” in his blood. Meanwhile, Pete Andrews is a grief stricken businessman following the death of his infant son in a fire. When he is told by the police that the fire was arson Pete is determined to find justice for his son, but as his sinister past emerges he may go to far looking for revenge. I was hooked from start to finish by this novel and was impressed at how the author made both of the main characters, Jameson and Pete really come alive and allowed the reader to get into their minds. I felt fully immersed in the storyline which was fast paced and flowed well. An entertaining and engaging read and one which stayed with me long after I had turned the last page. Detwiler is a new author to me and I am now keen to read other books by her.

Wow, what an excellent read! This was my first read from Holmes, but it will not be my last as I have to gobble up the rest of the books in this series. Despite this being my introduction to Lord Hani and the suspense surrounding his family, it was an easy read that kept me turning pages at all hours of the night. I appreciate how detailed the characters and setting were laid out, I could really visualize everything that happened in the story. Holmes background in archaeology played a huge role in the setting, politics, and character development. I definitely learned a thing or two throughout this book despite it being fiction. If you want something that will keep you in suspense and wanting more, I highly recommend this novel!

This is the sequel to Next Door to a Star. Hadley is finally feeling like she’s fitting in, but is she? She has her group of friends, a boyfriend, and it seems like everything is falling in to place. But an overheard conversation in the ladies room has Hadley questioning her relationship with Nick. Is her best friend, Simone, after him and does Nick still have a crush on Simone? After a betrayal by Simone and Nick, who can she trust? Hadley battles through the book on who to forgive, and finds a friendship in a person she least expected to.
This book gave me all the feels and took me back to my younger days. I was an emotional mess in parts of this book. I was really feeling all the turmoil that Hadley was going through.

This is a very intense psychological thriller! You are kept on your toes until the very end. I definitely did not expect what played out and actually gasped at the end! The characters in this book are ones you hurt for and get angry at all at the same time. At times you may even be disgusted by some of them. This book definitely takes you down a dark path with some great plot twist!
This is my first time reading anything by this author. It was a cute YA story. Hadley is dealing with all the issues any teenager deals with. Her best friend moves away and even though she promises to text her, her friends has moved on. That and being bullied by two mean girls, Hadley decides to spend the summer with her grandparents. There she meets Simone, an actress, who at first is kind of giving the vibe of I’m better than you and I have better people to hang out with. And Hadley also gets bullied by Simone’s friends….. It’s happening all over, no friends and feeling left out. Hadley befriends Charlotte and they are hitting it off good. Then Hadley finds out she’s moving to the town and she is nervous to be starting a new school. Of course, things are different but as the school year gets to going, she finds out that she truly has a group and things are looking up!!

Once again this amazing, wonderful, and talented author has made such a impacting, gripping, and wonderful novel filled with so much!!!!
I have been hooked on this series since the first novel in the series was released in the Antipodes series, Each installment has left me with more and more wants, questions, and the need to know what will happen next plus with the events that happen will it impact the wonderful characters I have grown such an attachment to and what and how will this affect them?
In this one my two personal favorite characters Cam and Freyja are happy. They have gotten a wonderful little family and are living peacefully with acceptance of things they have gone thru and looking towards to a brighter future to what ever they make of it. Honesty from where they started out together and the journey to where they are both now was defiantly far from easy, or a smooth to get there. I love them personally and they are such commendable characters.
But alas a rainbow only can appear so long, before the storm may start again. This was not just any storm though. This bought on someone they knew before, and it was a shocker and unplanned really in reality to see the return of them. This threw the couple for a loop as well. I can say based on how the event happened they were not prepared for it and for sure not for what the return bought for them as well as their life together.
What happens next is a story of questions and more questions, as well as for myself and them seeking these answers but knowing what the truth is again? Or is it a truth they already know but they refuse to accept? Not only will these answers change their happy life but it will define these characters not just for the time being but forever…
Honestly this series is so unpredictable in a good way, what you think you know, is it really what you know? What you doubt, is there more under the table than you realize?
Again I’m so happy I came across this series with the first novel. This author is truly amazing and if I ever get a chance to meet them, I will truly be a happy fan full of curiosity about their writing. They truly know how to write an amazing series and keep the reader hooked, not only in the current book installment, but truly anxiously awaiting for the next novel in the series.
I for one can not wait to see what happens in the next novel. I’m pulled in every time, and I never want to leave this rabbit hole. I have questions as Cam and Freyja do and I want my answers no matter how happy or satisfied I may be with them when I go to seek them out!
Honestly, please pick up this amazing, gripping, awesome series. Its a series that I have truly fallen in love with and when the sad day comes and the series ends I will be re reading them. I truly hope this series gets made into a movie 🙂
Amazing novel and characters again . Seriously every time, every novel, I’m pulled more into the rabbit hole and no want to return to where I once was!

Ok this was a new type of novel for me I will gladly say from the start. I had started it reading oh cool a thriller. I got so much more than I bargained for in a good way, honestly, this book was almost impossible to put down I loved this novel and I feel a strong need for more. Even after completing this story it is far from leaving my mind and still is making me think and wonder…
First reading this I getting a feel for sure about the character named Jamieson He had a rough time with his father being out of the picture and his mom working quite a lot. But Jamieson had a darkness in him like I never thought would be so extreme. He loved to burn things and watch what ever it was burn and I mean really burn the more torture the better it was and enjoyable for him. He later reads an old journal which was his fathers and this just fuels his odd obsession with the love of burning things, creatures you name it. i found as I went on Jamieson I felt for at times and other times he wickedly scarred me and made me worry about these things if this is something that could go on in todays world.
Introduce Pete, whom at first seemed like a sweetheart to me, Pete goes thru something very horrid and his mind set is on revenge and nothing more. And the way he progresses and develops truly is even scarier than Jamieson I think
All in all this was a page turning book and it gripped my soul and left me wanting more. And don’t even get me started on the ending. It was so shocking for me, I didn’t have any inkling to it coming, I feel some of the things could have been for shadowed but this novel was a wild ride of questions and living on your last breath to learn what is happen to next.
Honestly a ride like no other. This body took my body and soul and asked me at the end “wanna go again?” I cant let the thoughts and impact of this novel just go. Its really a imprint made on the reader, and I highly suggest you pick it up and prepare for sleepless nights, and your sanity tested in a good way, this is a novel not to be passed up or forgotten!!
Lake of Flowers Lord Hani Mysteries Book 5 By N.L. Holmes
I like how this author includes information in the book that helps us understand the history surrounding this story. Putting things into perspective for us as the reader, things like maps and background history lessons. It helps us as readers absorb the story much easier. As with the other books in this series it is well written and an enjoyable read.

Honestly. I don’t even know what to say in my reviews sometimes. I really enjoyed this book. I’ve been on a biker kick lately and Manda Mellett delivered another great book! Grumbler has been my favorite biker so far! Being inside his head is funny and this book isn’t short on laughs (although it does have its serious side). Mary is fun to read- a character i can relate to as a mother (even though my kid is younger than Alicia!) This story is another winner in my book!

Okay. I have to be honest- this (to me) is the heaviest book I’ve read by Manda Mellett. It REALLY tore at my emotions. It was a hard read- but only because it was written so vividly. I’ve read a few of Manda Melletts books now and this one has been my favorite by far. I was interested in Nirans story since the first book and I’m so glad I didn’t have to wait TOO long to read his. Saffies character is so well written and easy to relate to- I’m getting chills just typing this. All I can say about that the story without spilling anything is that I’m ready to read part 2…. The ending had me on the EDGE of my seat! Onto the next book y’all!

This is the fifth book in this series which I have enjoyed from the first book. I highly suggest that you read the previous books as they are just as great as this one. This is an author that I have enjoyed from the first book I picked up. The author’s use of details give their story a realistic feel and I am pulled into the story from the beginning. This book is no different. This is a well written story that has characters that bring the story to life. They are relatable and truly give the story life. This is a story about thefts that are happening in the King’s house. As the story goes on Hani finds himself caught in the middle of secrets and more. He is such a great character that I just enjoy him and what he brings to the story. This was a great afternoon story that I highly recommend.

Holmes – Review by Bobbi Wagner
Anytime I have an N.L. Holmes book to read I am a happy camper. Lake of Flowers (The Lord Hani Mysteries, book 5) is one more excellent read in the series. I find that I am so in love with Lord Hani’s family. I never know what’s going to happen next. He and his family live in a dangerous time. Always on guard, always taking care around the royalty they live under. Amusingly enough I find many parallels between our culture and society today and Lord Hani’s. If you love a good mystery, this is your book. If you love history, ancient history, again this is the book for you. I tried very hard this time to take my time and savor this story. I did very well until I got to the last quarter of the book and I just lost all control. Ms. Holmes has a very descriptive writing style and I love to read it. It’s not just the story, it’s the way she strings the words together. A delight to read. My top author for the year so far.

Interesting story. It’s great to see that it comes with a little bit of history up front and a glossary. Based in ancient Egyptian times, the glossary comes in handy. The characters are well written and the descriptions make them easy to picture in your mind. The plot is outstanding. The mystery keeps you wanting to not stop reading.

Holmes – Review by Shelly Kittell
Book 5, Lake of Flowers is the last book in the series in The Lord Hani Mysteries by N.L. Holmes is set in Ancient Egypt where NL’s passion lies. This series is not just a story they are also a lesson in history. Lord Hani is once again thrust into the thick of things that always sets himself and family into trouble and worry as he sets about to discover who is behind this latest mystery. Only this time it may all prove too much and possibly divide loyalties. I have said before and it is just as true with this book and that is that NL paints a vivid narrative, and her writing invites you into the journey and brings the characters to life.

I absolutely love this author! This is the second book that I have read by her and she just absolutely brings my favourite genre to life as I’m reading. I honestly cannot recommend this book enough; I was hooked from beginning to end. The detailed writing allowed me to imagine exactly what was going on in the story and I adored the characters Isabel and Matthew – Isabel may have been a damsel in distress but she could certainly hold her own. I loved Matthew – who doesn’t love a sexy yet arrogant Viscount?!? I loved the twist in the story too! A fantastic read – I cannot wait to read more from Ms Woodson again in the future.

Mr. Nice Guy was a really great read – I thoroughly enjoyed it. I’ve read books by this author previously and was impressed with her work so I jumped at the chance when I saw this book. It was a fun romcom read with a nice storyline and great characters. I liked Chelsea and Tom, they had a great connection with each other, their time together made me laugh out and I found myself rooting for them the whole way through. They may only have been fake dating but it definitely felt real at times and certainly genuine between them. I really enjoyed this light hearted read and I am definitely looking forward to reading the next book in the series.

This is a follow up to the previous book by this author and I must say that it is another great YA read. As much as I loved the first one, I think I fell in love with the characters even more in this book. It picked up right where the previous one left off so I would highly encourage you read them in order. The characters in these books are so relatable to my own teenage angst years of high school friends and foes. It’s amazing how true to life it seems that even in a book they are trying to figure out who their real friends are and who they can and cannot trust. I think this book is great for preteens and teens. Not to mention adults that like to read young adult genre books.

This is my third audible in this series which I loved listening to. I highly suggest listening to this series in order to help your enhancement of this series. The narrator brought the story to life by using different tones of voices and made me want to listen to more. This is a story about dark pasts and a determination to survive. A story of healing and learning to trust again. The characters take suspense to a new level and a conclusion to an awesome story. I won’t say too much about the plot as I think you need to listen to this series as it is that awesome. I am very glad I picked up this audible and I was so excited to listen to it. I highly recommend this audible.

Earl – Review by Bobbi Wagner
The best psychological thriller I have read so far this year! The suspense was intense because you had three arsonists telling there story and the tales of revenge just caught you up and never let you out. The collateral damage and tragedy fit right in. The characters were so creepy and well-written as psychos. The arsonist rules sadly sounded like they could exist, and probably do. I find myself taking deep breaths because I was holding my breath reading the book. Disturbing, yet like a train wreck, you have to look!
This is my first book by this author, I got into it pretty quickly and could hardly put it down. The build up throughout had me going crazy wondering how this was all going to end. The writing style was a bit different than I’m used to but caught on pretty quick and then it flowed smoothly.
My feelings towards all the characters were a roller coaster ride. I was never sure whether I liked any of them or even understood them and what they were feeling. Then on the other hand I could find I liked them and then did understand sometimes. It was in all honesty the definition of a hot mess.
I had figured out part of what was happening before the end but the other part was shocking, and totally threw my thoughts of one of the characters totally upside down. I think I wanted more from the ending. Not sure why, I can’t explain it but I felt a little let down for some reason. I guess I wanted that jaw dropping twist that just never seemed to come for me.
In saying all of that, I truly did enjoy this story and will absolutely read more from this author!
Avenging Devil Part 1: Satan’s Devils MC San Diego by Manda Mellett is just WOW!! And one book you do not want to miss. The only downside is that it ends on a cliff hanger, but it is Part one. Part two can’t come quick enough. There are some triggers that are extremely emotionally intense so tread carefully. This gripping ride is what I have come to expect from Manda and this series, and they just keep getting better and better. This raw and heartfelt story had me on the edge of the seat and my heart broke for Saffie. My anger made me want to exact revenge on her behalf.

Competing with the Star by Krysten Lindsay Hager is the second story in the Star Series. Since this book follows right after the first story line, you should read them in order.
Krysten was once again able to capture the teenage feelings and emotions in this tale. As someone who has been out of school for a while, it can be hard to remember the issues we all faced in our younger years. It’s a crucial time in our lives and unfortunately, a time that normally gets blocked out because of how hard it is. I have a young teen daughter I wish would read this series so she knows she isn’t alone.
You can get lost in the story and feel as though you are back in school dealing with these same issues. I never once had to remind myself where I was or who I was reading about. I was caught up in the story the whole time.

This was definitely a quick read. I enjoyed the banter between Tanner and Poppy and the dual POV. Being a short story this allowed me to connect to both the characters. A bit of steam and a HEA for two people from different walks of life. A well written romance escape book.

I didn’t mind the book. It was action packed right from the get go. I found it a little young for my taste, but other than that there was great character development, lots of intriguing action and it does leave you wanting more!

I give The Divine Devils: Mystery Suspense Crime Thriller: Book 1 by R. Weir, 5 stars.
I am a huge fan of the Jarvis Mann series by this author and I could not wait to see what this new series had to offer. It is completely different from the Mann series but the author yet again has another hit series on his hands. Less PI and more “do whatever it takes to get the job done,” Hunter Devine reminds me of that certain movie character from the 70s. You know, the one that’s a bad mother- (shut your mouth!), but brought into a more modern time. I also enjoy that the characters in this book are older, they are experienced and have been molded by their pasts, both good and bad. The team Hunter has is spectacular. I really hope to see them highlighted more in future books.
The story itself is intriguing; dangerous, sad at times, shocking, and keeps you on your toes. You are constantly wondering what will happen next and will they all make it out alive. The author weaves such a wonderful world, taking us many places in the US and beyond. I anxiously await the next book to see what the next adventure is. I hope this series lasts quite a while.

Even though this book is just a selection of short stories, I so enjoyed each and every one. The first story of “Grits Girl” just totally made me smile over a girl who her grits and got a happy ending. The second story of “The Accident” was heartfelt. Adeline taking care of her after an accident. The third story of “In the end of summer” was fantastic. A young man hitch hiking a ride to Virginia and meets another man and his son. The story was heartfelt over a carnival and how Mike comes to terms to have a conversation with his son about his mother. The Bonus story of “Pick Me” totally made me smile from beginning to end and and at the end you find out what was “picked”. All these short stories were fantastic. This is an easy read and just wonderful! Well done Author Jane Suen!
