Sons of SindicatoSons of Sindicato by Sonya Jesus & Cam Johns
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Sons of Sindicato is a dark romance between a lawyer and a high profile member of a crime family. It was written by Sonya Jesus and Cam Johns. A fascinating literary combination. Murder, mystery and mayhem follow this pair from the beginning. This is not a long story, but it lacks nothing. It has intensity, attraction, distrust, prejudice, uncertainty and accusation. The main characters had this incredible and charismatic connection. By all accounts, their love was not meant to be. Loyalty was questioned. Self reflection was ever present. But while everything seemed against them, they made it work. Braelynn and Seth were a formidable couple that had a lot of hurdles to overcome before they could enjoy their happy ever after. A fantastic short story that was electric and alluring. 4 stars.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The Istanbul Heist by Lynda Filler is the eighth book in the Code Raven series. This is a great addition to the series and has really continued the story well. There is a lot going on in this book which creates a tension and suspense about it. I was never quite sure which way the story might play out. It feels like you go on quite an adventure with the characters as they try to navigate a difficult situation. It isn’t very often that you find a series like this that can sustain so many books but this author has done it so well. Eight books in and I am still excited to see what is going to happen next.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Forged by Secrets by Amy McKinley is the third book in the Deadly Isles Special Ops series. This author has yet again produced an amazing book with some brilliant characters right at the centre of it. Malina and Tyler have to be my favourite couple of this series so far. They are one those couples that just fit together in such an effortless way and are so exciting to read about. They have a true connection that adds a whole new level to the story.
As with the other stories they are fast paced and action packed from beginning to end. This author really knows how to create a gripping story and just keeps the pages turning. This is another 5* read and I would highly suggest everyone reads this series.

The Ocean's LightThe Ocean’s Light by Mina Chara
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The Ocean’s Light is the first book in Mina Chara’s new Blood of the Pirate series where fantasy meets folklore. Mina’s stories are always fun and full of adventure and if you like Pirates of the Caribbean, Indiana Jones or even the Library you are gonna love this new series. The action and adventure will have you thinking like and hearing yourself speaking in your mind like a pirate. Yeah, yeah, I know crazy town, hubby can verify that. Any who, it was easy to become lost and immersed in the story as it was so entertaining. The one thing that let it down was that there are some editing issues that stopped the natural flow. Besides that, I cannot wait for the next book.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Loyalty & Lies (Spicetopia Book 6) by Phoebe Alexander is another hot and spicey read to this fab series. Phoebe always delves into things people see as taboo or a little different when it comes to sex, but she does it so well and I say live a little and delve in. I am sure some readers will live vicariously through this author. Spicetopia is the place to try new things. It is a place to give pleasure and increase your sexuality and sensuality. It was also great to see some old friends from another series Calvin and Paisley.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I’m thoroughly impressed with this book and especially this series. Forged By Secrets is the third book in the Deadly Isles Special Ops Series by Amy McKinley. In this book, we meet Malina Johansson who is an analyst for the Navy Seals. Tyler is her high school crush and in one night in Vegas with a whole lot of liquor things definitely changed. However, once they are back home, she becomes guarded and then she gets accused of Treason. Because of this, Tyler comes to her rescue to help fight her current demons and he will not stop until she is proven innocent. Not to mention if either one has a shot at happiness. This book was excellent and something I couldn’t put down. It was definitely a page turner! This is the third book in the series and like I always say…start the series from the beginning. However, you can read this book as a standalone. This author always makes her books easy to read and knows how to keep you on the edge of your seat. I absolutely love this book and this series! You will not be disappointed! I can’t wait for the next book from this author!

Four stars

When it comes to writing what most deem controversial Phoebe Alexander excels at it. I enjoyed this story a lot. Calvin and Paisley her celebrating marriage and a baby. What better way to than an adult only resort! I really liked Paisley’s personality. She was so happy and spunky through most of the book. I loved that she could be who she truly was with her husband. That she was comfortable with their openness. But is it too smooth? Is Calvin taking to the life too well? I would definitely be questioning my man if he was just okay to it and took too it fast without some type of reserve. I overall enjoyed this story and wish the couple many happy years and more babies.

I give Loyalty & Lies (Spicetopia Book 6) by Phoebe Alexander, 5 stars.

If you have been following the Eastern Shore Swingers series by this author, you will recognize Calvin and Paisley. The story of how they first met is very good and I highly recommend it, but this book can easily be read without it. It is a story that works great as a standalone, and takes place after they have been married a few years.

This is the first time I remember the author revisiting the same couple from a previous book. I wasn’t sure how I would like it, but I did appreciate that it was yet again a different angle from one we have seen before. I don’t know why I worried, this author continuously amazes my by her precise and imaginative writing. As usual, I was pulled in from the very beginning and it just kept getting better and better. Being set in an adult amusement park, there is of course plenty of heat in his book but it is so, so much more. There are angles going on the the characters are not aware of. There is suspense and tension, both in the story and in their relationship.

Overall, this is a wonderful modern romance book with lots of heat but also a story that takes you for a roller coaster ride. I could not put it down and highly recommend it. As previously stated, it can be read by itself, but I also recommend the rest of this series as well as the Eastern Shore Singers series.

Granted: Curse of the Emerald Jinn by Rachel Huffmire was a really good read! I thoroughly enjoyed reading this novel, and it was a tale unlike any I’ve read before. I won’t lie though. It took me several chapters before I fully became enthralled in this novel. I was pretty confused at the beginning, what with the colors and the random events that happened (not so random in the long scheme of things) and it felt like it wasn’t really explained well. But it did all get explained later. I enjoyed this novel a lot more than I expected to, which was pretty surprising considering I didn’t like it very much at the beginning. This was a very interesting read and I can’t wait to read more from the author in the future!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Ty had a crush on Malina in high school but never acted on it because he knew his future was in the service. Malina had a crush on him too…so imagine her surprise when she finds herself working with him on a current project for the SEALs. That crush is still there, but she won’t act on it because she knows Ty is not the settling down with one woman type. However, one night in Vegas (with some alcohol involved) changed that.

Once she returns home, she is determined to keep her mind off of Ty. However, when she is accused of Treason, Ty is the person she turns to for help. Ty is determined to do whatever he can to keep her safe. However, when both of them open up about the truth of what really happened in Vegas…will Ty still want to help Malina clear her name?

I have enjoyed this series since the first book. It is one of those books that keeps you up all night to finish because you have to know what happens. It is action packed and there are twists that you didn’t necessarily see coming. Overall, a good book!

/0 Comments/in /by

Twisted Throttle (Satan's Devils MC Second Generation #3)Twisted Throttle by Manda Mellett
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I love this series….and I love it even more after reading Throttle’s story.

Throttle is the enforced for Satan’s Devils MC…and a manwhore. He knows it…the club knows it…even his parents know it. But, he is young and definitely not looking to settle down. To be fair, the women that he hooks up with know the score. He’s a one-time thing with no return performances. When a one-night stand keeps showing up and telling him how great they will be together, he needs to find a way to make her see the truth.

Gwen is back in town after graduating from college and working at a local bar when she sees a face from her past…Noah. Noah (or Throttle as his club calls him) has grown up and is still as hot as ever. Her teenage crush is still there, but she won’t act on it. However, when she is attacked at work (a bar owned by SD), Noah and the rest of the club are there to make sure she stays safe.

With attacks on Gwen and a stalker sending gifts to Noah….could they be related? And when the one-night stand shows up at the compound with news that could shake Throttle to core…all hell breaks loose. Gwen’s attacks become more violent and the club is determined to find out who is behind everything. Little do they know, the truth is even crazier than anyone could imagine.

Again, I have loved this series from the beginning. Manda Mellett has a way of pulling me into the SD world and I enjoy every second of it. This book was no exception. I loved Noah and Gwen’s story. To watch Gwen take control of her life and stand her ground was amazing! Hope to see more of them in future books!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Forged by Secrets (Deadly Isles Special Ops Book 3) by Amy McKinley is a story full of adventure and suspense. It even has more than a dash of romance. It makes the story that much more enticing.

Malina Johansson is a Navy SEAL analyst who works with Tyler, her high school crush. All it takes is one night of drinking in Vegas for her to let down her guard and fall into his arms. She avoids office contacts with Tyler at home, where her walls are firmly in place to shield her spirit. Before she is charged with treason. Now that she’s on the run, she turns to Tyler, the man she knows will keep her safe but who she swears she’ll never trust again. Navy SEAL Tyler Hale returns to Pearl Harbor after a rescue and recovery operation, only to discover that the woman he’s never been able to get out of his system is in danger. He’ll go to whatever length to clear Malina’s name and hold her by his side now that she’s been accused of a crime and gone missing. But no one is innocent, and if he wants a future with the woman of his dreams, he needs to be honest with himself. Ty drops a bomb from their night in Vegas in a world where secrets are the currency, but Malina has one as well.

This is the third book of the series, and it just as good as the two other books. I enjoyed every bit of this story. I loved every page of this book.

5 Stars

 

Loyalty & Lies is the sixth book in the Spicetopia series by Phoebe Alexander. This is a superb contemporary romance series that takes place at “Spicetopia”, the exclusive, adults only themed resort located in the Bahamas. If you have read the previous books, then you will know that ‘spice’ is the operative word when it comes to describing the activities on the island. But, you do not need to read the rest of the series to enjoy this book- only, I really recommend that you do, as they help set the tone and mood for the series as a whole -as well as being fantastic in their own right. But be prepared to develop a Phoebe Alexander addiction- as one book will definitely ignite your desire for more.
I loved catching up with Calvin and Paisley again- they are a favourite couple of mine. Initially I didn’t realise ‘who’ the MC’s in this story would be because I didn’t read the blurb as Phoebe Alexander is on my ‘must read’ author list and her books are always an automatic ‘one-click, no questions asked’. So, I was thrilled to begin and realise that this book is a bit of a cross-over from the Eastern Shore Swingers series. I met Calvin and Paisley in “The Catch” (Eastern Shore Swingers Book #2), and they have been one of my favourites of that series, and of Phoebe Alexander’s characters, ever since.
Calvin and Paisley arrive a Spicetopia for some spicy fun, and belated honeymoon, before the arrival of their baby. They are ready to inject a little more ‘heat’ into their relationship, with some kinky adult encounters with some new ‘friends’. Things seem to be going fantastically well, but soon Paisley is left reeling- but is it just pregnancy hormones causing strife, or is there something hinky going on? Of course, I should have expected that Phoebe Alexander would keep me on tenterhooks by throwing in some unexpected drama, angst, and emotion- which had me hoping that things would work out.
Another feather in the cap for Phoebe Alexander!
Happy Reading!

Thank you, Phoebe Alexander!

Her stories are full of action and her attention to details made me feel as if I was right there with the characters. The characters are relatable and bring the story to life with their action. I enjoyed being pulled into the story by them. They kept the story engaging and fast paced. In this book, Luke is back in another mission, this one is a secret. Because of Luke’s actions things really start heating up. This is where the action really picks up and is hard to put down. You will want to see what happens to Luke by reading this book. He is a great character that I enjoyed from the beginning. I highly recommend this book.

Daisy’s Darkness by D.M. Earl is the sixth book in the Wheels and Hogs series. This is such an emotional and difficult book but it is one of those books that everyone who help read. The author dives right into tackling such difficult and heart wrenching subjects and yet they are ones that are so prevalent in today’s world. The author has done such a good job of writing this book that you feel everything right alongside Daisy – her pain, her anguish, her isolation. It really does feel like there is just no way forward for her. And yet the author shows how it is possible to turn things around, no matter how hard or impossible it seems to be at first. This is a story that I knew I would enjoy but never quite expected to be drawn into it the way I was.
This book really is one that needs to be read by everyone!

This is the 3rd book in the Natural Forces series and wow what a book. It grips you and drives you right into the action from the first page so you really need to read them in order to understand the story.

The main character is Mielitta the Queen of the warrior bees. With her future in the forest protecting her bees she seems content until things start to change.

Her man inside the Citadel Kermon is at risk for being exposed as the traitor he is. When two of his students go through the wall and get lost he has to find them but things aren’t that straight forward. With evil forces working within the walls could this be a mission no one can win.

Also when Mielitta’s husband and friend also disappear through the wall she ends up on her own quest to save them returning the the Citadel.

Can everyone make it out of this story alive? Will we now learn the full story of Mielitta’s birth? And can Mielitta save her friends, her bees and teach the people of Citadel that perfection  isn’t the only way of living?

I was drawn into the story from the first page until the last page. The characters are fun and unique. This story is about Liam. Liam is special because he can see colors. The colors are present when people and or things are messing with him. He has gotten himself in a little bit of trouble with a jock who is now his enemy. Kenna has helped Liam but is there more. What are the colors telling him? I highly recommend reading this book to find out about Liam, the colors, the enemy, and Kenna.

Daisy’s Darkness (Wheels & Hogs Book 6) by D.M. Earl. I LOVED this book. Its a young adult story that is very dark at times. Its the story of Daisy who doesn’t seem to fit in with the cool kids rather she hangs out with her group called “the Queenies”. They have always been very open with each other and are always there for one another. When Daisy starts to get in her own head and pulls away from the group her big brother Jagger see it and brings the problem to the attention of their family. Daisy being bullied and dealing with all the teenage angst along with that just piles more on her than she can handle. When Griffin who has noticed Daisy for a while now but was waiting for her to mature a bit sees she is struggling he jumps in to try to help her. This book is a coming of age story that deals with the very real problems of today. Bullying, social media, hormones and all the other fun stuff of growing up.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I really enjoyed this edition of the mercenaries series by Nadine Travers! It definitely contained just the right level of suspense to keep you turning the pages wanting to know what is going to happen. The author did a really good job of giving some background information on the characters without going off on a tangent and then having to settle back into the main story for which I was really grateful. You really find yourself rooting for them and wanting Hacker and Marie to win. There were totally times where I found myself yelling at Marie in my head. The romance/sexual aspect is complete without being all-consuming to the story. It’s a great book for someone who likes romance AND mystery/suspense. Hacker was undoubtedly a guy I could see myself being into. I will admit by the end I also wanted Sensei and Mika to develop a relationship. Perhaps the next chapter?

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Can Dreams Come True? is the first book in the Cecily Taylor series by Krysten Lindsay Hager. Before reading this I had not read any of this author’s work but I was attracted by the blurb and decided to give the book a go. I’m glad that I did as I enjoyed this book.
Cecily is the typical girl nest door. She’s sweet, hardworking and loyal to her friends. She also adores her boyfriend Zach. She does however have a major crush on pop star Andrew Holiday. So when her friend gets an audition for Andrew’s next video, Cecily goes along to give her support. Only Cecily is exactly what the video makers are looking for.
I really loved reading about Cecily and Andrew. Both are great characters that I could easily identify with. I really enjoyed their interactions with one another, seeing their friendship develop as they both just ‘get’ each other.
I have to admit that I was not a fan of Cecily’s friend who she went to the audition with or Cecily’s boyfriend Zach. Andrew understood her better in the space of a few minutes than 2 of her best ‘friends’ ever would.
I really enjoyed this book. The main characters are great and the story flows along well, keeping you entertained. I’m looking forward to reading more and Cecily and Andrew’s story.

This is a charming friends to lovers story. I found the book to be quite entertaining. The romance between Alex and Penny was believable with just the right amounts of attraction and nervousness. The comedy relief was enjoyable. Alex is a true city boy who’s never been in the woods. Being an author, he needs to do research for his next book. Luke and Penny decide to drag him camping in the wilderness for ten days. What ensues is quite hilarious. Aside from Alex and Penny falling in love, Luke had to come to terms with his feelings about the situation; seeing as he is best friends with both of them.

The book is informative pertaining to surviving in the wild. I appreciated that because I learned a lot. It is also written from Alex’s perspective which I enjoyed. It is not often that you will find a romance novel written from the male’s viewpoint. It showed how insecure men feel as well. I found it quite refreshing. This is a really good book that I think you will enjoy.

Forged by Secrets by Amy McKinley is the 3rd book in the Deadly Isles Special Ops series. I loved how each book focused on a different brother from the same family. This last book in the series focuses on Ty and Melina, the woman he’s felt a connection with for a long time. They’ve known each other since high school but Ty didn’t make any moves towards her because he knew he’d be enlisting. What a surprise it was to reconnect later when Ty is now a Navy Seal and Melina is one of the computer operators working with his team. This whole series is a wonderful read you can’t help but get sucked in. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

This is the third book in this series. The story holds true to the other two. I would recommend reading them to follow along more easily in here. The characters are lively and there seems to be a lot of movement between the Citadel and the Forest.
I did struggle with this one a bit. There is a lot of looking into the scenes and not a lot of dialogue. That is the type of story I am not a huge fan of. I enjoyed the discussions the characters had as the story unfolded. I got their meanings and felt their feelings. Panic, fear, loyalty and friendship.
Overall while the story is good it’s not my favorite of the series.
