This epic conclusion to the series was everything I was hoping it would be. Such a fantastic adventure, it stands well on its own but truthfully is that much richer having read the whole series. Gill has done a beautiful job creating this world and these characters. Loved every page.

Dunn does an amazing job tackling a serious subject in the midst of a contemporary romance. This series has been good but this installment is the most riveting to date for me. Sensitive to the subject matter, realistic, emotional – a real connection point with the main characters to the reader. You cared about the relationship and the backstory and the possible hea as well as the suspense that was at the heart of the plot. Really well written.

Shift Happens….. just the title gives you an indication of how witty and hilarious Carrie Pulkinen’s writing is. She’s a master with comedy and character development. This second book in the series is just as good as the first. Hollie Jackson did an amazing job with the narration and really brought an extra layer to the characters and story
I’m excited for the next one especially the witty title

I have loved this series so far and am sticking it through to the end. Ms. N.L. Holmes knows how to make history fun and exciting. This series does just that. This book was no different but it delves deeper into relationships which I enjoyed. So, thanks for writing this as I enjoyed it so much. Brava!!

I am at a loss for words……… this story is so raw, dark, twisted and heartbreaking. This is a fantastic read, and will stay with you for a long time. I have not been so emotional over a book in a very long time until I read this book. The love of Hunter and Jordan and the emotional roller coaster toll on my heartstrings………. just a great book. The story is just so raw …….
When my son asks me if he can read a book to me I know it has to be good. Jake the Growling Dog goes to Doggy Daycare is a superbly illustrated book with a lesson to learn. We all have, to some extent, anxiety about change. Jake takes us on his journey through the perils of “his first day at school”. I read this book to my son and then the next night he asked me for the book so he could read it again for himself…… that relates to him really liking it

Vince is an undercover agent for the Special Branch and when he creates his character and backstory, he throws himself into it completely and immerses himself into the other world he is trying to infiltrate and this time, he has to become an islamic convert and infiltrate a British Jihadi group. Vince starts his journey in a local, nondescript, corner shop where he goes to buy some essentials, bottled water and cigarettes, but when he sees the woman serving on the counter, she is beautiful, he cannot deny that, but he also senses that she is different to most women and also that this would not be their only meeting. He approaches the mosque for the first time as well, it is also a beautiful place, as he enters and follow the other worshippers, he completes the rituals and spots his targets doing the same, he observes them from a distance, he knows he needs to first be noticed, then to earn their respect and after that their trust, but Vince also knows he needs to do it slowly and carefully.
As the days pass and Vince is growing closer to his first check in with his handler, he develops a routine of breakfast, visiting the corner shop to interact with the woman there, to the mosque for prayers and visiting the stalls selling literature and in the market precinct on Fridays and Saturdays, being seen to be devout and seeking of knowledge, eventually the targets come over and talk to him, this is where Vince’s work really starts. Two of them talk about the information in the leaflet he is holding all the while listening to the third man talking to passers by and hears something of interest to file for later on about a study group. Vince is about to leave when he is given another leaflet about a protest happening the day after and he agrees to go and take part, this should help to gain their trust and it is what happens, he also has the opportunity to talk to the woman at the shop who introduces herself as Ayesha, it turns out she is the sister of the targets and is very intelligent and Vince decides that to befriend her could also help him to get in with the targets.
As he is walking home a few days later, he comes across a blast from his past who it turns out is his handler for this mission, although they don’t get along, they agree on a way for them to communicate and Vince goes on his way. As time passes and he slowly starts to gain the trust of the targets and their sister, things become more complicated when he starts to develop feelings for Ayesha, he uses her intelligence and discovered love of Moorish Spain to spin yet more tales and seduce her, however, is he becoming too close and losing himself in all the tales he is spinning, or will he be able to see past them to the reality and complete his mission? This is a thrilling deep dive into the life of an undercover agent as he struggles to discern reality from the tales he spins and you are spinning through it all with him until the conclusion is reached.

This is an author you don’t want to overlook! Neil MacDonald is a genius at weaving a story and creating a welcome challenge for his reader. The Tears of Boabdil is a psychological thriller that needs concentration and focus, but is compelling and hard to put down. The unreliable narrator, Vince/Zami, is an undercover agent who is sent to infiltrate a British Jihad group. However, he finds he must choose between his mission and a love he has found along the way. The characters in this story are well-built and you will find yourself rooting for love to win. This is quite different from my usual genre, but I do not regret giving it a chance. The author is wonderful at creating a page-turner that is unpredictable and will keep the reader on their toes. I definitely recommend this book and give it 5 enthusiastic stars.

This is a refreshing read. It is set from the perspective of the lead male which is a nice change for a story about romance. The setting of a camping expedition is also something different. The characters are well written with the lead character being very witty and funny.
Alex Jones is an author. When he needs inspiration for his new book his friends Luke and Penny offer to help him out. They take him on a camping expedition to show how what it’s like to get back to nature.
However Alex is a city boy. Being in the middle of nowhere, pitching tents and building fires is not his idea of fun. The only thing making it bearable is Penny.
As the 10 days progress Alex’s feelings for Penny grows but not knowing how she feels should he take the risk or keep his feelings to himself. Also how will Luke react when his feelings are shown.

This is my 2nd book of this series and also by this author. I enjoyed the first one, but do believe this one is my pick so far. Still just a bit predictable for me, but definitely held my interest till the last page. The writing style has an easy flow making it an easy read to get lost in. I did find myself confused a few times but was able to get back on track pretty quick. I never connected strongly with Marie, I’m not sure why but something did bother me about her. I did like the humor that was spaced out throughout, and I did LOL a few times.
I did enjoy reading this and it absolutely can be read as a stand alone. I will be looking forward to the next one.
Secure Her is book four in the Chase Security series by R. L. Dunn. This author dabbles with a few delightful and attention grabbing events. It contains some BDSM, some drama, some mystery, some intrigue, some frustration, and lots and lots of chemistry and strong and vibrant personalities. An eclectic collection of characters with varied and colourful idiosyncrasies. I engaged immediately with the main characters, and was left gasping a lot of the time. The other times I felt intense contentment with the direction the story took, and the often suspenseful and dangerous road they travelled. Immensely riveting and cleverly written. Thoroughly fulfilled my raunchy cravings. 4 stars.

Dunn – Review by Tracy Wilkin
I really enjoyed this book, I was pulled right in from the beginning. Cecily has her first boyfriend and she is asked to go with her friend to possibly meet her favorite singer during an audition. While there Andrew seems to take a liking to Cecily and she also gets a part in the video. She is super excited and shares the news with her boyfriend, who doesn’t seem very excited for her. While doing the video she ends up having a nice conversation with Andrew and gets to see a different side to him.
Overall I really enjoyed this book. We continue to watch Cecily have issues with her boyfriend and his jealousy. And she starts a friendship with Andrew. Things take a twist and things get even more interesting. All of the characters were great although a couple of Cecily’s friends were so so for me and the boyfriend frustrated me on so many levels. If you’re looking for a good read 1-click and get started today. I look forward to reading more from this author and series.

The Ocean’s Light is the first book in the Blood of the Pirate series by Mina Chara. I love Ms. Chara’s Hero High series, so I was quite excited to find she had released a new book and discover that it’s also the start of a swashbuckling new series. She had me on the first page- reading The Legend of the Light introduction to the story was all I needed to see to know that I was going to love this story. And I did. This is Indiana Jones meets Pirates of the Caribbean- a wonderfully original swashbuckling pirate adventure- a treasure hunt full of action, intrigue, mystery, danger, drama, curses, and so much more. I was glued to the pages, not wanting to put the book down until I had read every last word. I am hooked on this book/series- and really can’t wait to get my hands on the next book. I am so happy that this story was so incredibly good, as there were a few editing issues (Amazon Au verified purchase Kindle copy) which pulled me out of the story and disrupted the flow. Simple things that should have been picked up in the editing/proof reading/Beta reading phase- and had they been, this book would have been all the better for it. Issues such as getting characters mixed up, referring to an MC’s as he, when they are she- or she, when they are he. Starting off in a MC’s character perspective (Slim) and then calling her Bulk (another MC). Sentences that don’t quite make sense, because of the use of wrong words, and simple typos like using ‘in’, instead of ‘at’. So, I am so very relieved that the story was so captivating, because becoming immersed in all the action and adventure did help to distract me from the editing issues- to the point where they didn’t detract (too much) from my overall enjoyment of the story. I am invested in this series now, as it has captured my imagination and got me thinking- my mind is pondering all the various scenarios of where we can go from here. I can’t wait! Bring on Book #2! Happy reading!

The Executive’s Decision (Book One of the Keller Family Series) by Bernadette Marie was a really good read! This book was full of heart in my opinion, with all sorts of feels. I was instantly immersed in this book from the first page, and once I started reading I didn’t want to stop, or leave the characters. They felt so real to me! This was a fictional novel that felt so realistic. I felt like I was right there with the characters. If I’m recalling correctly, this is the first novel by this author I’ve read before, and I can’t read to read more from her in the future! I also can’t wait to read the next installment to this series!

This series is like a fine wine; it gets better with age. This is a standalone, but best to read the others first. Detective Petrosky has lived a heck of a life as a detective. And he’s sure that this B&E will be a simple case but ends up being a complication that Detective Petrosky doesn’t need…in many ways. With the many twists and turns, this book gives you, it necessary to not give anything away while reviewing. You cannot go wrong with this series!

Zach is still coming to terms with losing an operative on a mission due to their personal relationship when he gets put onto a new case. Undercover female officers are showing up dead when as they are trying to infiltrate a human trafficking ring. Zach, who is known as Ice at the club he partially owns, must teach a new undercover to be a submissive in order to crack this case open. However, this Dom may be finding his personal feelings coming out to play with this Sub. Saoirse has been asked to come in on a new case when another undercover is found dead. One of the victims is her roommate from Quantico. When she finds herself paired up with Zach on the case, she could have never imagined how her life would change. She is not only able to discover her own desires in the bedroom, she finds herself falling for her Dom. However, personal feelings can be detrimental on a case like this. Can they keep the lines between personal and professional straight? I think the thing that made this book more interesting was the constant flashbacks and timeline from a victim’s point of view. I found myself having to set the book aside a time or two because it delves into some heavy topics. Like the other books in the series, I enjoyed the story and always find myself wanting more from the Chase Security world!

Dunn – Review by Rosanna Ingram
This book is an imaginative retelling of the evergreen children’s classic Peter Pan. The book’s central character is Captain Shaw, whom we know as the notorious Captain Hook in Neverland. This tale is about the humane side of Captain Hook and what caused him to be the notorious man he is known to be. Captain Hook was a pirate, and was an honest pirate with his heart in the right place. He cared for his crew, and the women who came into his life, even for a brief fling. He begets a son from one such fling, is kept away from him for several years till one day, he is united with him. But his son joins the Lost Boys troop of Peter Pan and gets accidentally killed in one of the pirate encounters. This causes Hook to seek vengeance against Pan. He tries different venues to get to Pan, but is incapacitated with his inability to fly. To get near Pan, he first captures Tinkerbell for fairy dust, then befriends a beautiful witch who claims to be the sister of the Sea God Neptune, and falls in love with a mermaid who is Pan’s best friend. But in his plotting and scheming, he loses his edge and falls prey instead of being a predator. Desperately in love, and now a target to an evil power, Hook tries to hold on to the humane side and for a brief time even forgets about his vengeance with Pan for the greater good. But will his good side prevail and make him a better person? Or will the cruel fate take away what he is holding dear to heart and make him an evil heartless villain? That forms the crux of this story. The language is beautiful and the book is a very easy read. But I did have some qualms on the plot. I felt it a little convoluted at few places. But I really enjoyed this imaginative retake on one of my childhood classics.

The World Beyond the Walls: epic dystopian eco-fantasy (Natural Forces Book 3) By Jean Gill
This book had me hooked from the beginning. This is my favorite one in this series. If you haven’t read the first two it is my suggestion that you go back and read them. This story is full of action, danger, magic, wonderful characters and more. The author weaves such a detailed rich story that you feel like your right there in it. I had a hard time putting this book down. I found this book to be refreshingly original. I will definitely be reading more books by this author. I recommend this book and series as a whole.

Auctioned is the third book in the Billionaire Bodyguards series by Via Mari. I have to stop being surprised by how much I love Via Mari writing. Every book I read always seems to keep me hanging on the edge till the last word. Damian and Bryanna’s story was nail-biting and super sexy that I want more from them.
Damian is hired to find Jenny’s niece, Bryanna but what he wasn’t expecting was mixing business with pleasure. And Bryanna will do anything to save her family even being auctioned off to the highest bidder.
Like every story, there were characters that I can’t wait to get a closer look at and returning ones that I needed an update on. I need more info on Bryanna’s brother (please!).

Hook’s Little Mermaid (The Untold Stories #1) by Suzanna Lynn
This is the first book I’ve read by Lynn. It won’t be my last. The Untold Stories Series is a Fairytale retelling of Captain Hook and Little Mermaid. Can be read as a stand alone.
Captain James Hook is looking to revenge the death of his son. Tinker Bell becomes his fairy friend while Red becomes his wolf buddy. Peter needs to taken care of, but will a mermaid change his mind. The quote I chose for James is: “I don’t need to trust them. I just need the dust. I believe any fairy would happily exchange some dust for its freedom.”
Elynna is a mermaid in Neverland. When she meets James she soon learns that he wants to do something horrible. When she learns the story she decides that she’s going to take into her own hands. The quote I chose for Elynna: “This is not the way to honor Owen. Be the man he was proud of.”

The World Beyond the Walls: epic dystopian eco-fantasy (Natural Forces Book 3) by Jean Gill – was an excellent third book to this series. I think there’s some wiggle room for another book. I will really hate it if this is the end. This is just a really good story however, it does give you something to contemplate and think about. What exactly is perfection? And is that something we would really want? What would the unintended consequences be? Interesting thoughts.

DeBlassie has upped the ante with this “blood curdling” story. Unlike any of his other crazy stories, Goddess of Everything is above and beyond normal craziness.
This story is about Mother Juana and her need for…blood, death, obedience and well, everything. Mother Juana’s son Gabriel is torn between his love for his wife, his mother and life in general.
These characters are well developed, enough so that you know if you met up with Mother Juana you would want to run the other way. And if you met up with Gabriel you would see the devotion and love this man has for those around him especially those less fortunate.
The plot of this story is unbelievable, disheartening, and downright disturbing. Way to go DeBlassie. If you enjoy dark stories with a touch of mystery and crazy, this may be one you put at the top of your list.

I like how this book is also dealing with some women’s wishes at a tile where alot of women feel vulnerable add sex into that and its a whole other element. Oo them girls are naughty and nothing like o expected. All I can say is I implore you to read this series.

Are you ready to Get In, Sit Down, and Read like there is no tomorrow? I still use that phrase to describe this series. I highly recommend this entire series because it is all enjoyable and because you will enjoy all the books and plot-lines more. Lynder Filler is an amazing author,in my humble opinion. She keeps you at the edge of your seat. I know there are points when my heart races because I feel as if I am right there with the characters. I will admit that Luke Raven is my book boyfriend. He does not look for trouble, BUT trouble does come looking for him. Luke has found trouble but is this kind of trouble he can recover from or will this be his last mission? I highly recommend this book and series.

This is one of my favorite psychological thrillers I have read recently. Neil MacDonald takes you on a mission that makes you think. This story made me turn the pages just looking for that small glimpse to let me know where I am. The plot-line takes you on a mission that you really need to focus on what is going on around you so you do not lose your mind. The characters are amazing, especially Vince. Vince has been asked to go undercover, which he is a master of, the only thing is he will have to make up this character. He may lose his identity because of how deep he will go undercover. Not only lose himself, but there is the question of whether he follows his heart or his mission. I highly recommend this book. Just be prepared to read it in one sitting.

This is a lovely little book for young children and toddlers. I love how colourful each page is and how the picture resonant with a young mind. It’s nice to have a story what they kids can relate to and Jake is extremely relatable. I love that Jake teaches us we are all different and need to accept each other as we are. This is a short book with a powerful message.

This is the first book in the Nite Fire series. It started out kind of slow but keep up with it, I promise it is worth it.
Dahliah Nite, a supernautal crime scene cleaner, empathic shapeshifter, fire throwing dragon hybrid; half human half dragon; as known as a Lyrriken. She is exiled from her world, it had been 97 years since she made her escape. She is hiding, or at she is trying to hide. Coming back to the small town even though she had lived there previously can be risky. She is recognized by one human, he believes her to be a vampire and she hasn’t done anything to deter his thinking, the less he knows the better. But when she is put on a case involving fire she knows it was Lyrikken involved, but she doesn’t know why and why so many lives. As she gets deeper into the cases, running to lyrikken trying to figure out who she can trust and who is here to come to cause harm. She is partnered with Officer Evans, neither are good at working together. But has these progress she has to decide who she can trust and solve the murders/fires. But saving Evans after he accidentally stumbled into another world. She has to save him but just how much of the truth can she tell him, he already had suspensions. The book is a really good read it does take time, it is a rollercoaster but I can’t wait to read book 2 to see how the story continues. And what happens with Dahliah and Evans.

Can Zach keep his feelings under wrap and help Saoirse learning the ways of a Dom/Sub relationship because if this fails, she may become the next victim in this uncover op.
Zach has always had a dominant streak from when he first discover sex and relationships, over the past couple of years he has been looking for a new submissive to play with. When his job in Chase security being critical, but a new assignment comes close to blurring the lines between professional and personal.
Saoirse is determined to bring down the human trafficking ring which has already claimed uncover police woman. When she recruits the help of Chase Security the only man who can help is Master Ice, Zach Wentworth. While they are training she becomes further and further into the lifestyle and discovers more about herself than she maybe prepared to acknowledge.
I have read the first three books and knew what I was getting with this book and it did not disappoint. This story was hard hitting and the subject matter was brilliantly weaved through and I’m glad that Zach has been given his own story. The relationship between the two of them was brilliant watching the dance that the story weave through was a thrilling read.
I loved the fact that Saoirse was an intelligent, smart person within her role in the District Attorney where she is in a relatively male dominant world so she had to be the balls to the wall woman. So when she meets Zach she starts to understand that although in her job she is in charge in her sexual life she wanted to relinquish the power and her pleasure to someone else and learning this for the role she will have to play going forward.
The way the characters develop the relationship was a brilliant read and well developed story, I enjoyed the story from the first word till the last. Although it is part of a series each book can be read as a stand alone book, I can’t wait to read the next instalment within this series.

Dunn – Review by Angela Shirley
Krysten Lindsay Hager has done an amazing job with book one in the Cecily Taylor series. For any one that has, had or will ever have a celebrity or rock star crush this is this book for you. The characters ate so relatable and the plot was amazing. I believe many people can relate to Cecily in his she feels misunderstood and kind of on the outside. If you are older the book will have you reminiscing of a time past and for the young adult reader it is a great coming of age story. Cecily will hit you right in the heart, she will have you falling for your celebrity/rockstar crush all over again. Can’t wait to see what is to come for Cecily.
