No Rest for the Wicked (Life is Hell #1)No Rest for the Wicked by Naomi Valkyrie
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

No Rest for the Wicked by Naomi Valkyrie is the first book in the Life is Hell series and was an amazing read! I was fully immersed in this book from the first few pages. It was also a shirt novel, so it’s very quick to read. Delilah, the main female character, was such a blast to read, she had me laughing throughout the whole thing, I immediately fell in love with her character! All the rest of the characters were amazing too, of course, but Delilah was the one who had me laughing and became my favorite. This was such a good book, I can’t wait to read the next installment in this series!

Scepter of FlintScepter of Flint by N.L. Holmes
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

‘Scepter of Flint’ is the third book in, ‘The Lord Hani Mysteries’ series and having read the previous two books in the series I was particularly looking forward to this latest instalment and was definitely not disappointed. It can be read as a standalone story, however I feel that the reader will enjoy the novels more if they are read in order. I was pleased to be back with Lord Hani, an Egyptian Diplomat and his assistant Maya. This story was set during the Great Jubilee of the Aten, and Hani is sent to investigate when a mysterious series of tomb robberies occur and any witnesses to the robberies die. A dreadful plague is also ravaging the country and the palace where Hani’s physician daughter is. Hani has to make sense of what is happening between the tomb raids, the plague and Egypt’s ally, Naharin now being in the hands of a usurper. Hani also realises that he has an enemy, but who is it.
The author really brings ancient Egypt to life with her wonderfully descriptive narrative and world building and this really sets the scene for this novel. The authors knowledge and research shines through in her writing and I found the list of characters at the beginning of the book very helpful as there are a lot of characters to keep up with. Again Hani makes a great main character as he is well defined and relatable as well as likeable and he really brings the plot together along with Maya, who is another fascinating character. The storyline flows well and the plot is fast paced and full of action, drama and mystery which had me gripped from start to finish. I look forward to future books in this enjoyable and engaging series.

The Last Playlist: A Sonic Epitaph
By P.A. Kane
5 out of 5 stars

I enjoyed reading the book The Last Playlist: A Sonic Epitaph by P.A. Kane. I found it to be an intriguing story and I enjoyed the way that the author put together his last playlist while telling about what the songs are about and what they meant to him. I also enjoyed the personal experiences that are given. Some moments are heartbreaking, sad, heartwarming, as well as humorous. Some experiences must have been hard to write about. This is a story that had me thinking about it even after I had finished the final page. The author has a love of creating playlists that can’t be denied. I know a few of the songs on the playlist and by the end of the book, I found myself wanting to go to my favorite music site to listen to the ones that I didn’t. Don’t miss out on a story that has you taking a journey that is both musical and personal. I highly recommend reading it.

City Without A Sun (Vampire State, #2)City Without A Sun by Alexander Charalambides
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I was so ready to get my hands on this second book in the Vampire State Series from Alexander Charlambides. I do recommend that you read the first book before diving into City Without A Sun, but if Paranormal Vampire Romance is your thing this is the series for you. This book is action packed and keeps you engrossed so much that you feel as if you are right there with the characters in the midst of this war. I loved the world building and how I was sucked in so much that I read well into the night late to find out what would happen with Rowena this time. I won’t give too much more away that the synopsis already does but I can assure you this is one you do not want to miss. I am anxious to get my hands on the next book!

The Devil's Day (The Lucky Devil Book 3)The Devil’s Day by Megan Mackie
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Megan Mackie has outdone herself with this latest installment in The Lucky Devil Series! I have to say this has to be my fav yet, and I do have to say you should read the first two books in the series before diving into this one for the max effect of everything. Once again I just could not put this book down and read it well past my bedtime to see how things would turn out for these fab characters I have so grown to love.

In The Devil’s Day we find Rune and St. Benedict finding love within each other. Rune must find a way to stake claim to the House of Magdaline for good but the Devil has his own plans as usual. He will come back to claim what he says is his. I love Rune and her sassy self as much as the rest of the characters but she shines the brightest in this one. I cannot wait to get my hands on the next one!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is not my first book by this author but it is my favorite yet. I enjoyed this romance story. I was pulled in right from the beginning by the characters. They made the story engaging and entertaining. This is a fast paced story that kept me turning pages just to find out what happened with them next. This is a story about enemies that become lovers. Callie finds herself in a position to do one thing she has always wanted, to go to Europe. As she takes a fashion internship she never expects to have the ego studded boss she has. Gianluca just wants one thing and that is to be recognized for his talent, he is about to get his chance. Problem is that he is stuck with Callie who has no fashion experience but what happens is never expected for them. I enjoyed both their characters and how easy they made the story to read. They really just made the story for me. Their chemistry is off the charts and I found myself hoping they would get together. I highly recommend reading their story to find out what happens to them.

Murder Makes Waves (Jack and Frances mysteries, #3)Murder Makes Waves by Carmen Radtke
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

‘Murder Makes Waves’ is a cozy crime mystery which is the third book in Radtke’s ‘Jack and Frances Mysteries’ series which are set in the early 1930s. Although part of a series this novel can be read as a standalone story. Main characters Frances Palmer, her fiancé Jack Sullivan, and Frances Uncle Sal, aka “Salvatore the Magnificent” are on the “Empress of the Sea”, on a voyage from Australia to England. It’s a dream come true for Frances and she’s looking forward to the glamour of the voyage and the mimosas and masquerades, however she wasn’t expecting a murder. Having been hired to entertain the passengers with their daring stunts and magic tricks they soon realise that the cheerful atmosphere does not continue below deck, which is full of larceny and jealousy. Following a costume ball a passenger is found dead and one of Frances’s new friends is accused of their murder. Convinced her friend is innocent Frances and Jack decide to investigate the case for themselves. The pair find themselves up against a cunning murderer and along with their new friends they must discover the truth among all the deception.
This was an enjoyable and engaging story set during the charm of the ‘Golden Age’ and the glamour of a voyage from Australia to England. The storyline is fast paced and the plot is full of twists which had me both hooked and kept me guessing until the end. The characters are all wonderfully defined and all add something different to the overall story. Thanks to the authors detailed descriptive narrative I felt fully immersed in the novel and look forward to reading the previous books in the series to catch up with Jack and Frances.

Scepter of FlintScepter of Flint by N.L. Holmes
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Scepter of Flint is the third book in N.L. Holmes’ Lord Hani Mysteries series. Drawing on Holmes’ knowledge of history and archaeology, this series is set in a vivid Ancient Egyptian world.
Lord Hani is called upon to investigate a series of tomb robberies, in the hopes that he can do so discretely and get the embarrassing matter wrapped up before it threatens to undermine Egypt’s standing on an international stage. But from the start things are complicated, and Hani learns not only that there are few people he can trust, but also that he must be very careful to earn the trust of others.
The mystery alone makes this a real page-turner, but what I really loved about this book was how much detail there is. There are moments where perhaps it feels like we are getting a bit too much information at once (although that might be my fault for jumping in at book three…) but mostly it adds to the story rather than feeling like a history lesson.
For me, this is a five-star book. I really enjoyed it and am keen to get on to the next book (and then go back and fill in the gaps for myself with the first two…). I would recommend it to anyone who had an Ancient Egypt phase growing up (so that’s pretty much everyone, right?) and who enjoys puzzling through a good mystery!

At Last (Adams Brothers, #1)At Last by Mindy McKinley
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

At Last is the first book in the Adams Brothers Series by Mindy McKinley. This was the first time that I had read any work by this author and judging by how much I really enjoyed At Last, it certainly won’t be the last time. At Last is a really great contemporary romance.
Lula Stanley and Dominic Adams have been colleagues for three years, both of them teachers at the same high school. Whereas Dominic has never taken any notice of the quiet literature teacher, Lula and everyone with a set of working eyes have noticed the gorgeous Dominic Adams. When Dominic goes to a jazz bar with his brother and sees Lula perform he sees a whole different side to her and boy, is he smitten.
I really enjoyed this book, it has you engaged from the very opening paragraph and keeps you engaged with a great storyline throughout the whole book.
One thing I also loved about this book is the way that both Lula and Dominic embraced their jobs as teachers. To them it was far more than just a job, it was a true vocation. Their love for teaching and their pupils shone through.
As well as loving both Lula and Dominic, I also loved the additional characters in this book. The camaraderie between Dominic and his brothers is great to read and I can’t wait to get more of this when we get the stories of his brothers.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is an okay read. I really wanted to love it as I enjoy all things Christmas….especially the books. This just seems to hit me wrong on a couple different areas. Luke seemed like an over eager puppy instead of a playboy or more mature. Maybe some insight to his thoughts in the beginning would have helped me with that. I really didn’t really *feel* anything for the characters.

Overall the story rolls along nicely. His grand gesture is simply wonderful. The cute romance story is a different Christmas idea. Julietta is a sassy character with a great family history and a little problem with mistletoe.

What a way to start off the Holiday season but with this adorable little book about love and friendship. . I loved the fact that it’s about the birth of Christ and 2 girls who become friends but drift apart because of the wise mans daughter thought the shepard’s daughter was beneath her because she’s poor. The message is this . Love one another no matter what your background is. Treat people the way you want to be treated. My two and a half loved this story and asked me several times to read “Christmas “ to him . I think this is a wonderful book to read no matter your age. I highly recommend reading this I know we truly enjoyed and look forward to reading more from this Author.

The Devil’s Day by Megan Mackie is the third book in the Lucky Devil’s series. Personally I would recommend reading this series in order as it follows the same characters and is a continuation of their story.
This series honestly just keeps getting better and better! Each book I read instantly becomes me favourite one until I pick up the next. It takes no effort at all to fall back into the story and the characters that you come to love so much.
This book is exciting and fast paced. It feels like there is something happening on every single page and I just couldn’t read it fast enough. I hadn’t heard of this author before this series but now she easily falls into one of my favourites. If I see a book with her name on it I wouldn’t hesitate to one click immediately. This is a fantastic book that you should read today!

Five Stars

I am not disappointed in purchasing this book. I am extremely happy. The author gives you a little bit of everything. We have demons and witches. Delilah is a demon who is tired of the hunt. So she takes a step back and moves to a small town. What she wasn’t expecting is for small town life to have so much drama. When she gets summoned she is thrown into a revenge plot. I loved how she had some morals. Like yes I am a demon but I don’t just hunt just anyone. I like that she felt remorse and even tried to help victims. I enjoyed the open relationship and understanding the characters had. The author wrote the story well. I enjoyed Sheridan’s character. She was herself unapologetically. Definitely will read more by this author.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Shift Happens: A Paranormal Romantic Comedy is the 2nd book in the New Orleans Nocturnes series by Carrie Pulkinen. This is not your average paranormal series. These books are hilarious and light hearted. While you don’t HAVE to read the books in order, the story line does continue and characters and timeline overlap. And they are great, so do yourself a favor and read them all. I am already working on book 3. This book is the story of Sophie and Trace. Sophie is the best friend of Jane (from book 1). Sophie moved to New Orleans to follow her bff, and to follow a fortune teller prophesy. She believes she is a witch, since her grandmother was a witch. She wants to hook up with a werewolf, but that wish came with a little too much baggage attached. A were bites her by mistake, and it is the start of a whole series of problems. But its not all bad, it does bring her teamed up with Trace- smokin hot cop by day, werewolf by night. The banter between these two is hilarious and had me hooked from the start. There is so much sarcasm in these pages, you will be in tears from laughter.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is the second book in the Satan Devils MC San Diego series.
What makes this book different is the romance is between a older couple which is nice as it shows no matter what age you are you can still find love. This book is a great read but does contain some triggers. However it doesn’t take anything away from the story which was really gripping and enjoyable.

Grumbler  is a member of the Satan Devils San Diego chapter. He has never had a need for a woman in his life. His only true love is his bike. When he gets approached one day by a photographer who wants to use his bike he decides to give it a shot. After all its a way to make some cash.

At the shoot he meets Mary. Single mum to the female model. Mary’s daughter is head strong and hard work.

After not receiving payment for the pictures taken of his bike Grumbler  sets off to find the photographer and get his money. What he uncovers is a lot darker and dangerous. This journey also brings him to cross paths with Mary. Can he help protect Mary’s daughter? Can he actually have another love in his life apart from his ride?

Grumbler’s Ride (Satan’s Devils MC San Diego #2) by Manda Mellett was a great 5 star read.

Grumbler is approached about his bike being used for a photo shoot with some models. He agrees and at the photo shoot he meets Mary and her daughter Alicia, who is one of the models. We jump ahead a few weeks when Grumbler finds out that a photo was sold and he didn’t get his money. When he gets in touch with Mary and Alicia he finds that they haven’t been paid yet either. So he is determined to find the photographer and get what’s due to them. There is a scary twist and Alicia finds herself in a not so great situation and she goes to Grumber for help. From here things get more interesting.

As Grumbler spends more time with Mary there is a chemistry between them. Will Grumbler and his MC be able to find the photographer? Will he and Mary have a HEA?
All of the secondary characters added a great element to the story. I really liked how great Grumbler was with Alicia and how comfortable she was going to him for help.
If you’re looking for a great MC read this is the one for you, 1-click and get started today.

This book took me on a ride that I wasn’t expecting…and I enjoyed it.
Mia is working at the bar one night when a man gets too handsy. Another patron, who happens to be a police office, steps in. This sets off a chain of events that leads to Mia and Ethan getting married a year later. On the night of their wedding, Mia meets a stranger while taking a few minutes to herself outside her reception. This is also the night Mia gets her first glimpse into the man her husband truly is. Years later, when she makes her escape, Mia finds herself face-to-face with the stranger from her wedding.
Derek knows that Mia is hiding something, but her is determined to take things slow because he feels Mia is the one for him. When her secrets finally come to light, Mia and Derek’s lives are both in danger. This brings about the conclusion of the book that I could not put down. I am not even sure I was breathing as I devoured each page to see what would happen!
I enjoyed this book and the characters…well, most of them. There were twists and turns that I never saw coming and it kept me turning the pages! Overall, a really good book!

I am not usually a Paranormal reader but the story line in the description of this book really intrigued me. I picked it up and read it all in one evening. It kept me well entertained and involved. Meeting the different characters and how they all blended and melded into the story line. Yes there is a romance blossoming in this, however that was not the focus of the story. You will meet a couple demons, a few witches a fallen angel or 2. Some kind of water creature and a shape shifter just to name a few. Very good story and I would love to read more from Ms. Valkyrie.

Clare Johnson’s tale of Jesus’ birth is beautifully illustrated. The book is a poetry in motion book. In the abstract of the story, there is a separate message of acceptance, social diversity, and love of your neighbors. This story is about a shepherd girl who loves someone above her social status. The lessons told throughout the story can be life lessons for the young and the young at heart. I enjoyed this tale of The First Noel and I recommend it for all ages.

I enjoyed reading the book The Sound of Silence by Dakota Willink. It is a powerful story that I couldn’t stop reading once I started. I loved the characters of Gianna and Derek. Gianna is an intelligent and strong woman. She considers herself broken however she keeps putting one foot in front of another and is surviving. She also is very attracted to Derek. Derek is handsome, charming, a good business owner, and is attracted to Gianna. There is chemistry and sparks when they are near each other. She is on the run. What does the future hold for Gianna and Derek? Read this book to find out. This is an emotional story that had me angry and sad at the same time. Gianna is a character that I couldn’t help but have empathy for and grew to care about what happens to her. I wanted her to find happiness. This book does a wonderful job of dealing with a sensitive subject. It gives the reader a look into a situation that many unfortunately have to live with every day. The author makes the story and the characters come alive and I felt like I was right there with them. I got lost in the story. Don’t miss out on a book that you will not want to put down until the final page. I highly recommend reading it.

Then there is Mary. She is a mother of a seventeen year old daughter. That is enough said about that lifestyle. Grumbler and Mary meet and that is when everything starts to get interesting. There are some dark places that may trigger some emotions. I found that this story is a bit slower moving but I still thoroughly enjoyed it. I recommend this series to everyone.

I loved reading the book Gianluca (Marini Family Romance Book 1) by Isabella Cassazza. It is a story that had me hooked from the very beginning. I loved the characters of Callie James and Gianluca Marini. Callie is a young woman who is excited to get a fashion internship in Rome. Then she meets her boss, Gianluca. Gianluca is a man who is driven to be the best that he can be and have his talent recognized. He is confident and has a very large ego. He knows that he wants and is determined to succeed in what he sets out to do. He doesn’t need the frustration of an inexperienced intern assisting him. When he meets Callie, he believes that she doesn’t fit in however he feels an attraction to her. What does the future hold for Callie and Gianluca? Will they take a chance on the chemistry between them? Read this book to find out. I grew to care about the characters of Callie and Gianluca with every chapter that I read. I wanted them to find happiness. In the beginning, they seemed to be like oil and water. There are times when you could feel Gianluca and Callie’s frustration with each other. There are other times when you could feel the attraction that they have for one another. I also enjoyed reading about the secondary characters and how they interacted with Gianluca and Callie. The author does an amazing job of making the storyline and the characters come to life. I felt like I was right there with them. Don’t miss out on an awesome story that you won’t want to put down until the final page. I highly recommend reading it.

Gianluca: A Standalone Enemies-to-Lovers Office Romance (Marini Family Romance #1) by Isabella Cassazza

Not my first read by the author, but a new series. Cassazza has outdone herself in this book. I will be looking for more.

Gianluca isn’t thrilled when he learns that his new intern is taking over for his assistant while on vacation. He doesn’t want an inexperienced young woman from the States. The quote I chose for Gianluca is: “The intern. I know who you are. I’m Gianluca Marini. Your boss. That’s all you need to know about me.”

Callie is heading to Italy for an internship, but doesn’t have an easy time after she lands. She doesn’t think her boss likes her. She quickly learns that isn’t exactly the case. The quote I chose for Callie is: “I owe you. Actually, I owe you my life. If there’s anything I can do for you… just tell me.”

Highly recommended for contemporary romance lovers.

I really enjoy all the political twists and turns and the historical element of the story. I have read other books in the same region but not during the time.

It is dark, emotional and because of this it has you emotionally invested in the characters Grumbler & Alicia. I absolutely loved this read and couldn’t put it down until the very end! I highly recommend this read, this epic series & incredible author! Don’t miss this read!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The First Noel: A Tale of Friendship by Clare Johnson is a heartwarming and beautiful story agony friendship in the face of adversity. It is a lovely retelling and comes with some stunning pictures to illustrate the words the author has penned. This felt like such a lovely family story, one that I would happily read to my daughter and is one that I picture reading each year around Christmas as a new tradition.
I Think having the pictures there really helped to keep my little one interested as well – she kept pointing out different things and commenting as we went along. Reading it for myself I found it to be sweet story that I could really get behind. This is a well written book and it is certainly worth your time.
