Key West Dead (Jake Wolfe Book 6) by Mark Nolan – Review by Shannon Fowler

Key West DeadKey West Dead by Mark Nolan
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Key West Dead is book 6 of the Jake Wolfe Novels. I love the characters that Nolan has created in this series. Sarah, Cody, Jake and even the Florida police officers working the case of Orion, the boat bomber. This story is action packed with adventure. And the description of the Key West area is realistic. Always a good mystery story when Nolan’s writing it. His stories are always believable and fun.
Looking forward to reading what Jake and Cody get into next. Definitely recommend this author.

Fake Fiancé (A Second Chance Office Romance) AUDIO BOOK by Amy McKinley – Review by Tracy Gutierrez

First time really listening to a book, instead of actually reading, and I must say I really enjoyed it. Adeline and Stone’s story is very intriguing. She starts working for Stone as his assistant while his regular assistant is on maternity leave. She just seems to crash into Stone and from there the flashbacks begin. They feel as if they’d met before kind of a déjà vu. Then he asks her to be his fake fiancé and they start to hit it off. Both begin to have feelings for each other. I truly enjoyed listening to this book. I think I’ll try it again with another of this author’s books.

Fake Fiancé: A Second Chance Office Romance. Adeline has spunk and attitude which she needs all that with this job.
She got this wonderful job opportunity and won’t let anyone stand in her way. This book was well written this is the first book I have read from this author but it won’t be the last. This book was one that I couldn’t stop till the end.

This was a really great story. There was plenty of emotion, intrigue, and spice to keep you wanting more. You have to pay attention in the beginning, so you are clear on when they are going back to Christiano and Francesca. Stone sounded like a real catch and I loved how smart and strong Adeline was. It makes me want to visit Italy even more than I did before I read this book (which was a lot). This is definitely a must read and a story you will totally enjoy! 10 out of 10!

Sure As Hell (Life is Hell #4)Sure As Hell by Naomi Valkyrie
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is the 4th book in the Life Is Hell Series. I can’t express how much I love these books. Each book is so unique but the characters are so good you are instantly drawn to them. I love the character of Jaru.

He’s such a sweet hearted character. In this story we see him struggling to become independent and being able to function on his own. Through his struggle we learn that with the support he has anything is possible. It is a really good insight into the thoughts of someone who is dealing with the same thing as Jaru is.

Add to this his blooming relationship with Lark, danger and surprises around every turn this books is definately a great addition to the series and I can’t wait for more.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I had high hopes for this book and was really in need of a pick me up with some light hearted flirting, a little bit of stream and humour. This series was completely jam packed with all of those things and I LOVED it! I loved all the characters in this series, I think they were beautifully developed in such a short space of time and you could really relate to a lot of them. I loved how curvy women were represented, as so often we see beautiful women described as being thin and athletic. I though it was lovely to have curvy women celebrated in such a positive way. I really do not have a bad word to say about any of the stories in this series. I thoroughly enjoyed every moment of reading these books and look forward to reading more just like this.

The Husband was an incredibly addicting read! I was highly intrigued by this series and I’m so glad I started it; this was my first book of the series but I cannot wait to start the series from the beginning to find out how everything started.

I was able to easily piece things together that I missed from not having read the first three books. Even with not having read the series in order I still highly enjoyed this book. I loved how complex and intense the storyline was, with the many characters each with their own connections to Evie. I was able to easily connect with Evie which made this book even more enjoyable.

I can’t wait to see where this author takes this series! And I look forward to reading the first three books asap!

Oh my goodness; this book is HOT and had my attention from start to finish! This is the first book in the Relentless Trilogy and the first book I have read by Vivian Fiano, but you can bet it won’t be the last; I NEED to know what happens next as this book ends on a cliffhanger!

The Good: The characters are so wonderful. I love how Jordan goes from delicate dancer to badass chick after her training and the way her character develops. Grant is a gem and struggles with real life career issues and struggles that are relevant with current life today. Fiano does such a great job making her characters believable and relatable.

The Great: The plot is spot on brilliance. Fiano weaves a web of suspense, romance, and intrigue that you will have you devouring this book quickly and eager for more. She keeps me on my toes and drops just enough hints and tricks to keep me guessing what comes next!

The Steamy: As I previously mentioned, some scenes in this book are HOT HOT HOT. Fiano didn’t skimp out on the details but walked the line perfectly to keep it classy.

This is a great read; I can’t wait to find out what happens next in Graceful Abduction!

Exhale and Move On AUDIO BOOK by K.L. Shandwick – Review by Bobbi Wagner

I loved listening to this audio.  It is a fun, entertaining story that the narrator brings to life with each word of the story.  The tone of voice used made me want to keep listening.  I also enjoyed how the narrator’s voice changed with each character.  This is a story about Rick who is a playboy and is about to have his past come crashing into his present.  He is a rockstar but behind closed doors you find a different type of person.  This was such a great story to listen to.  I am happy I picked it up and I highly recommend this audio.

This is a well written story that the author’s attention to details made the twists and turns exciting and the feeling of wanting to know what will happen next. Alicia thinks she has the perfect marriage until she finds some emails between her husband and another woman that he never sent. Who is she and why did he never send them? Someone knows the truth but sometimes things come at a cost. This had me sitting on the edge of my seat just waiting to see what would happen next. This is a great thriller that I would highly recommend.

Murder At Honeybee Lake by Jessica Aiken-Hall is the second book in the Shadow of a Doubt series. This book can be read as a stand-alone although personally I think it would be best read in order for a full enjoyment.
I thought this book was a great addition to the series. It was gripping and kept me guessing the whole way through. I just had to find out what was going on.
I thought the characters were what made this book. I really connected with them throughout and they are what really held my attention. I got behind them early on and stayed that way from start to finish. This is such a well written and intriguing book that I would highly recommend.

Everything, Somewhere by David Kummer is a coming of age story that follows three friends on their journey from high school to adulthood. I believe young adults will easily relate to the struggles the characters face, and be hooked before the first chapter is over. Mental Health is a controversial subject, and I think David did a wonderful job portraying that. There are some dark moments, so I would make sure you are prepared.

This was a darker book than I normally read, but so relatable. Kids going into their senior year of high school, dealing with divorced parents, drinking, smoking, depression, and what do they want their futures to look like. I could really relate to Willow; she is driven and wants to make her life better than what she has in this small town. Hudson finds an unusual connection with a famous man, Bruce. Bruce doesn’t come across as an unapproachable celebrity. We all know a Mason, the rich kid who throws great parties.
This story brought up so many emotions as I lived through the summer with them.

Keep in mind – I haven’t read the first book in this series when I happened upon the second one. Thankfully, the book itself is easy to follow, and the universe is easy to jump into. Unfortunately, there are some pretty significant editing errors throughout the book, which I found to be problematic and distracting from the actual reading process and kept me from really feeling like I was involved in the story. However, I really enjoyed the universe the author created and how in-depth the research went in ensuring that there was a unique, interesting story to be told. Overall, it’s definitely a great story, once you make it past some of the flaws in the writing.

Tapestry of Worlds is Part two of Hadley Thorne’s Running and Gunning post-apocalyptic shifter series. It is a supernatural Sci fi fantasy tale that will have you intrigued. The premise of this tale is original with a bit of everything that will draw the readers in, with magic and a Black Queen cyberterrorist, adventure and action, elite paramilitary shifters and corruption. If you didn’t start with Part one The White Raven Awakens you will want to go back to where it all started.

I really enjoyed the character development in this book. Hudson, Mason, and Willow were wonderfully developed characters, and felt very real to me. The authour’s ability to inhabit these different personalities was wise and insightful. The plot and storyline were immersive, and I was entertained the whole way through. I really enjoyed seeing how Hudson related with Bruce Michaels, as well as how he was able to see their similarities, and where he was committed to being a different type of man. The themes of mental health, class, and adolescent rebellion were handled well and were relatable. All in all, I thought that this was a well-written novel by an authour I will definitely read again in the future.

Love by design is book 2 in the series and I absolutely loved reading this book. This is an enemies to lovers sort of read and the characters were so real and so likable. There were times where I wanted to yell at the characters or one in particular but, aside from that I loved reading this story. The author did a great job with the writing and kept her readers interested from page 1.
I thought it was odd how Nicholas just shows up at Mia’s family home like he does but, her family seemed to welcome him in each time.
Mia and Nicholas are working together on a magazine and from the moment Mia had seen him at a gala ( before being transferred to his magazine ) she thought he was the hottest thing on two feet. When she finds out she will be working side by side with him she doesn’t know how she’s going to be able to do her job. It doesn’t help that they bring out the worst bin eachother and he’s always snapping at her. Thank goodness for Penelope ( the older sister of Nicholas ) she keeps him in line most of the time.
Then the author throws us for a loop when we find out that Mia and Nicholas had both met many years ago….WHAT??? absolutely loved this read. Grab your copy today!

My rating: 3 of 5 stars

3.5 stars

Everything, Somewhere by David Duane Kummer is a YA story where coming of age story that is sometimes dark in its subject matter which could be disturbing for some readers. David is a young writer who started writing at a young age and is passionate about telling his stories. There is a lot going on and at times it was hard to keep track on who was who. I would have liked to see a little more character development but was still able to get a sense for what they should be.

In this book we follow three main characters who are teenagers learning their place in the world and pushing those limits. Not everything is sunshine and roses as they start trying to figure out who they are and how they fit in the world and they also look towards their futures. There are some life altering changes in store for them.

This is a thought-provoking story that I am sure a lot of YA’s will be able to relate to.
