Book Review: Strings Attached: A Braebeach Rock Romance
Author: Loriana Cappello
FIVE STARS
This is a NA second chance, emerging rockstar romance. Loriana Cappello is a new to me author and I took a chance on this book which is the first in the Braebeach Rock Romance series. I am not disappointed that I took this chance.
I found Ashton and Calla to be very well developed characters and their story will definatly draw you in. It was very hard for me to put this down. Their witty back and forth banter will really keep you entertained and you will love the HEA.

Professor Valentine: A Student-Teacher Contemporary Romance Novella (Kirk University Series Book 1) by Diana Vale – Review by Gail Guerrero

Five Star

Professor Valentine is a story I needed. That forbidden love affair that shouldn’t be allowed but we can’t help that fall. That chemistry that is undeniably addictive. Cassie has a drive to get her through life but even she had to sit back when she went from wanting to just be a student to fighting love. We can’t help who we love or when our hearts tells us we are ready. I do but don’t understand why this type of relationship is forbidden. On one hand you have the potential to ruin a persons career. The other hand you have a young person with their whole life still ahead of them. The amount of power one holds over the other is a big factor as well. But they’re also consenting adults and unless one is forced into it I think it’s okay. I seriously enjoyed the story and need more. This is my first story by this author and I was impressed and intrigued by the plot.

Strings Attached: A Braebeach Rock Romance by Loriana Cappello

This is the first book I’ve read by Cappello and I must say this is a great introduction to a new author to me. She had me hanging on the edge of my seat the entire time. It really felt like I was sitting right there watching it all happen.

Calla thought Ash didn’t notice her, but she never thought that an accident could cause them to become close. After sitting there and listening to him play she realizes he’s the one. The quote I chose for Calla is: “Jesus, I didn’t have a clue. Like I said, one minute we were good friends, at least, I thought we were. The next he…Well, let’s just say I will never understand boys for as long as I live. The stupid s**t you lot do is just strange. I swear you’re all aliens.”

Ashton is the rockstar who has his eye on someone from school. When he catches her eye then he knows he can’t let her go. She’s the one who would stick through all the tough times with him. Ash loves her and isn’t afraid to show her. The quote I chose for Ashton is: “I wanted our calls to be happy ones, not depressing, and I want this visit to be the same, so let’s move on.”

Highly recommended for Contemporary Romance lovers.

Witness (Ash Park Series Book 9) by Meghan O’Flynn – Review by Michelle Austin

Witness: An Ash Park Novel (Volume 9)Witness: An Ash Park Novel by Meghan O’Flynn
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Witness: An Ash Park Novel (Volume 9) by Meghan O’Flynn was a thrilling 5 star read.

You get pulled right in from the beginning at a crime scene. When Petrosky learns who’s home they are at, things seem a little off with his story. This is a dangerous man that Petrosky has dealt with previously. As they start to investigate further we get so many twists and turns you feel like your one of the detectives.

Will they solve the mystery? Was someone killed at the home?

Overall this was a great read. I really like all of the characters, they add a great element to the story. The author does a great job with her writing and you feel like you are right there with the characters. This can be read as a stand alone but I suggest reading the series so that you can get to know the character better. I really enjoy books that keep you guessing until the end and this one didn’t disappoint. If you’re looking for a great thrilling, suspenseful full read 1-click and get started today.

Witness (Volume 9 in the Ash Park novels) by Meghan O’Flynn was a really good read! This book was crime filled, exciting, suspenseful and thrilling! I’m not sure if each installment gets better or not, but each that I’ve read so far has been amazing. This installment was no different and all. It was completely enthralling, and I was captured from the first chapter. Petralsky never seems to change through each novel, and it just makes the books that much better. I thoroughly enjoyed this read and can’t wait for the next one!

By Meghan O’Flynn

Another great book to an already great series. I knew once I picked up this book I would not be able to put it down. I was on the edge of my seat through most of this story wondering what was going to happen next. This book can be read as a standalone but I suggest that you read this series in order for more background information and a better overall experience. This author writes with such detail that you feel like you’re in it. If you enjoy psychological thrillers then this is a must read. There are twists and turns and just when you think you know what’s going to happen next the author takes you a different direction. I can’t say enough great things about this book. I highly recommend this book.

☆☆☆☆☆
This is a full length thrilling crime story. I wish I could give more than 5 stars, it is that good.Not for those under 18 due to the adult theme. While this is a standalone, I recommend you read the others in order.
Detective Petrosky is back and with him comes a story of epic twist and turns. As a detective he has seen more than his share of awful crimes. To date after 9 books I have to say this is by far the most tense of them all. Family secrets can come back at you, and most times it is not what you expected. Spoilers here, I can’t give anything away.

Meghan O’Flynn has done it again. I was on the edge of my seat with this story. Her writing skills are impeccable. So clear and to the point. It is scary to think the thought she has put into words. I love this story, it was non stop action. The characters follow each book, that is why it is good to read books before this one. Meghan O’Flynn thank you for another exciting rollercoaster ride. Well Done!

My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Best of My Love by N.D. Jackson, started slow for me but then sent me on a roller coaster of emotions. Dre and Erik had been through a lot with their years together and apart but can they give it a second chance at love. Yes, Erik did a horrible thing to Dre years ago, but he was a young, stupid kid who did learn from his mistakes but I don’t think I could forgive something like that. The author’s writing of these characters was strong and powerful but there are just some unforgivable things. I also felt that the ending was missing something.

The World Beyond the Walls: epic dystopian eco-fantasy (Natural Forces Book 3) by Jean Gill. This is an amazing series and this is the final book in the series which makes me sad because I want more. I recommend reading all the books but it can be read as a standalone. Its the continuation of Mielitta who is still Queen of the Warrior Bees and an even larger group of followers and they are working against the Perfection. We find Mage struggling to remain true to Mielitta in the war between the Citadel and the Forest. Mielitta has always tried to take care of Mage but if it means losing everything what will she choose. Mielitta will find out that friends to your face aren’t always friends behind your back. I read this book in one sitting because it was so good. Each page had me wanting to flip to the next. This series has been incredible and I highly recommend it!

The Sun at Twilight (Empire at Twilight #4)The Sun at Twilight by N.L. Holmes
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The Sun at Twilight is the fourth book and I have enjoyed it just as much as the first three books. The Empire at Twilight series is a great series to read. I highly recommend reading the first three books to get the full background of this book. I love the historical time frame that this is written in. Attention to detail is so important. I was able to paint a picture in my mind’s eye and be drawn into this book with these wonderful characters. The characters are fully developed and complex in nature. This book is about Tudhaliya IV and him taking the throne. There is another, Kurunta has a claim to the throne. How will family, friendship and sacrifice play out in this story? It is a ride of emotions with twists and turns. I highly recommend this book to see what happens within this empire.

Hook's Little Mermaid (The Untold Stories #1)Hook’s Little Mermaid by Suzanna Lynn
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I had not read a book by this author prior to reading this book. I have always loved the stories of Peter Pan & The Little Mermaid, so I was intrigued by the title of this. I was surprised to realize that this is a new twist on Captain Hook and his story. And I LOVED IT! I truly had a new outlook on the villain of Peter Pan and could really start to sympathize and understand why Hook was as evil as he was. I was very impressed with this book and found it to be a very fast read. In fact, I read the entire book in less than 24 hours because I was reading it so quickly. I was quite shocked with the writing and the characters. I was expecting the Captain Hook I have grown used to but was surprised to find out that wasn’t the case at all. I believe that this story is geared towards young adult readers but thought that the author did a fabulous job immersing me into their world. The characters resonated with me and I was able to visually see and feel the images around me. I can honestly say that I felt as though I were an actress in this movie. I didn’t want it to end. If you are a fan of Disney then I believe that you will love this book. I am excited to read the next installment in Lynn’s series.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is one ride I didn’t want to get it off. The story is one of this authors most twisted. It filled me with sadness but it’s quite a mystery/thriller. We follow Ed Petrosky as he navigates a kidnapping gone wrong. It quickly turns into murders and cults. We get to see Shannon again but not really in the capacity I expected. A case from their past (both Ed and Shannon) can bring them together to tear them apart.

The epilogue was something I didn’t expect. I think I read it a couple times to understand it. I feel like we will be going back again to the past.

Strings Attached: A Braebeach Rock Romance by Loriana Cappello is a great second chance, new adult romance. This is a sweet romance with some brilliant characters. I really enjoyed the connection the characters which I think was made stronger by the fact that they had a history. It felt effortless for them to strike up a friendship again.
This is the first book that I have read by this author and I enjoyed the way she came at quite a popular story premise. It felt like it was a new way to go about it instead of the same thing that has been read time and again. The writing had a great flow to it and the story held my interest. This book was a great introduction to this author and I am looking forward to discovering more from her in the future.

My rating: 3 of 5 stars

This beginning of this book was great! I enjoyed the inner dialogue of Alex and his stress of going camping. I was really getting to *feel* for the characters. Then something happened. It just stopped…well maybe dwindled away. The story became hyper focused on teaching him camping and the discovery of love. The ending picked back up and became the fun loving story. The dynamic between the three was good. Problem was half the time I couldn’t remember they are older characters because their antics seemed like teenagers. I liked the insight into Penny’s character.

Overall this started with a huge promise of a wonderful story. It lost its way but found it again in the end.

I feel like this book had so much potential but somewhere along the way it got a bit lost. I normally love a second chance romance but there was just something missing, I wouldn’t say i loved this book but it is a good book. I really could not connect with Dre, although her sassiness did have me chuckling at parts. Erik drawed me in straight away even though I wanted to hate him I just found I couldn’t especially the way he is with his daughter. Orchid is amazing and she really makes the story.

Professor Valentine: A Student-Teacher Contemporary Romance Novella (Kirk University, #1)Professor Valentine: A Student-Teacher Contemporary Romance Novella by Diana Vale
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Professor Valentine: A Student-Teacher Contemporary Romance Novella is the first book in the Kirk University series by Diana Vale. I had not previously read any of this author’s work so was unsure what to expect from this novella but I did enjoy it and devoured it all in one sitting.
For a long time I have been a huge sucker for a teacher/student romance. It’s a trope that I do enjoy and this book didn’t let me down. My one moan is that even though I knew it was a novella, I felt that it was all over too quickly. I’d really like to have gotten to know Cassie and Diego a lot more.
I did enjoy reading about Cassie and Diego’s growing relationship but I do feel that for a long time I felt that Cassie was much more invested in the relationship than Diego was. I may be wrong but that’s the feeling that I had for much of the book. It felt as though Cassie was practically begging Diego to have a relationship with her.
I did however enjoy reading the book and would definitely read more of this author’s work.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

 

The Sun at Twilight is the fourth book in the Empire at Twilight series by N.L Holmes. As with the rest of the series, this is an historical crime story- full of rich and descriptive details which bring the story to life.
As I have discovered from reading most of Ms. Holmes’ other works, is that historical fiction is what she does best- her extensive knowledge of her subject adds realism and interest to her stories. And the authors obvious passion for history is not only evident in her work- but also added to my enjoyment of the book.
Ms. Holmes’ stories are a wonderful and fascinating blend of fiction and historical fact, which are woven into intriguing tales with plenty of mystery and drama to keep things interesting.

Thank you, N.L Holmes!

Professor Valentine is a great romance read, one that I thoroughly enjoyed from start to finish, I found it surprisingly easy to connect with the characters given that it’s a novella, there was plenty of detail and backstory that helped the characters feel real and had me invested from the beginning.

I really enjoyed how well rounded this story was and while I don’t usually like the push and pull aspects of relationships, I ended up really liking it in this story, it seemed to add so much for me and really added to the story making it feel all the more raw and real.

Overall, I loved everything about this novella and I look forward to reading more from this new to me author in the near future.

Jean Gill has certainly given herself a lot of work to do in this last volume. There are, for example, a lot of characters to deal with. Some good, some bad, most intriguing and realistic combinations of both. Jean Gill’s character development is a powerful feature throughout the trilogy and creates real engagement with the main players.

This is a forbidden romance with an age gap. Teacher student.
This is the first book I have written by Ms. Vale and I enjoyed it. It was well written and captured the boldness of Cassandra really well. Cassandra being a strong young woman in her freshman year at university is embarking on a world of unknowns but she does know she has a thing for professor Valentine.
Diego Valentine is going through a messy divorce. He has never had anything untoward any student, but there is just something about Cassie.
Will they be able to ignore their feelings?
This book is not very long and will be worth the read.

I really enjoyed this story. The pain we bury deep inside and let effect every relationship we have. Dre has really bad trust issues. She is straight to the point no bs. I really liked her personality but the pain she held was breaking her and keeping her from being truly happy. She doesn’t need a man to be happy but forgiving and loving on would’ve made her life easier. I really liked how she dealt with Shay’s drama. She knew she couldn’t change her opinion on what to do with JT but stayed for the kids. I would’ve liked a better description of how she looked so my visual of her going off on Annie was better lol. I definitely will read more from this author. A well written story about a woman doing what she does best and being a boss at it.

Wow, this novella starts extreme and does not stop. I absolutely love that this was set in London. I love any books set there; they bring a certain magic to the page. Probably because it’s different than what I am used to. Cassie is 18-year-old freshmen in university that has a crush on her hot new lecturer, Diego. It is definitely a forbidden romance; I mean it’s there in the title. I was apprehensive about starting this novella, but by the end I was okay with how most things went and ended. I like how Diana Vale wrote her two main characters. Cassie wanting to be seen as an adult, grown up now that she is in University, just like most people her age. Diego struggling with life choices and feelings, the past as well. like most people in the world.

Witness: An Ash Park Novel (Volume 9)Witness: An Ash Park Novel by Meghan O’Flynn
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Witness is another psychological thriller in the Ash Park series by Meghan O’Flynn. This book is like a Law and Order SVU episode. If you like criminal mystery books, this is the series for you. There is SO MUCH going on, its like they fell into a rabbit hole. Each level of the case that unfolds, grows deeper and deeper. It is action packed and keeps the reader hooked and wanting to know how it ends. It is written with so much vivid detail, that we can envision the characters and the story. I think this book could be read without reading the rest of the series. I have only read a couple, but I enjoy them. There is enough detail given on Petrosky’s past so we know the gist of what is going on. I was disappointed to see how much of a mess he is in this book, and to be honest, it got kind of old to hear about how much he wanted the next drink. But I guess it goes to show us how affected he is by his job and the pain from his past.
