My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I really enjoyed this crime thriller. It is the first book in the Logan Mckenna series. The story takes a bit of time to get into with all the different characters and how the plot jumps from one place and time to another but it is definately worth sticking with it as the story is a real gripping tale.

Logan has lost everything, since her husband death she moves and closes down their business. She is helping out her friends Thomas and Lisa on their booth at a festival when she notices the glassblowers. The festival runs smoothly until a dead body turns up and the question is who has done it.

When her friend Thomas is suspected she has to work hard to find out who the killer is and if they are planning to strike again.

Its full of twists and turns that keep you guessing right to the end.

By Kinney Scott
5 out of 5 stars

I loved reading the book Better Than Goodbye (Venture Book 1) by Kinney Scott. It is a story that is romantic and had me hooked from the start. I loved reading about the characters of Amanda and Kent. Amanda is a woman who by taking a dream job in California lost the one man that had stolen her heart. When situations align and they are one more together in the same town will they find themselves in each other’s arms again or will they end up saying goodbye for a second time? Read this book to find out. This is a story that had my emotions going up and down the entire time I was reading it. I grew to care about what happens to Amanda and Kent with each chapter that I read. I wanted them to find happiness. The story has romantic moments that heat the pages. The author does a wonderful job of making both the storyline and the characters come alive. There are additional characters that I also enjoyed reading about such as Amanda’s roommate. Don’t miss out on a story that will have you believing in second chances and true love. It is a book that you won’t want to put down until you have read the final page. I highly recommend it.

When you have failed at everything you have been given, can moving half way around the world to manage a NHL team with no knowledge of sports manager or anything amount hockey this could be a recipe for disaster.

Emma is part of a big conglomerate fashion company, but project she has been put in charge of has basically failed miserably. So she is determined to make this a success, people look at her and see the rich kid from a wealthy family but she has a secret she is not prepared to share with anyone.

Matt is a highly trained athlete who wants to do well for his team, but when an italian bombshell walks into the arena will he be able to focus on his career or will love prevail, but once Emma reveals her secret will he be able to forgive her.

I loved this story, the characters chemistry jumped off the page and the story flowed and ebbed into a beautiful story. I loved Emma’s character although at first I thought that she may of had a spoilt brat complex but the way he insurities and emotion came through and I felt like a friend. I was drawn to Matt also after his disastrous love life and you heart just sinks until he meets the beautiful blonde woman for a night of passion as you feel the chemistry between them and for him to get his happily ever after is brilliant.

This is the first book I have read by this author and although this is classed as the second book in the Ice Tigers you can read this as a stand alone book. I would recommend this book and if you’re looking for a great happily ever after story this is it, great holiday read also.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

You cannot help but get divulged in a book like this. The whole thing has your heart racing chapter after chapter! I’m sorry to get so excited but this doctor is a true heroine! She is that one you get caught up in and knows she’s the “it” (excuse my French) and for a great cause but this book goes deeper!
As the doctor means well to save the girls, she’s caught up in a trap of manipulation at every turn: She knows better with all her fancy education but lust keeps screaming her name and her body is betraying her mind. The truth is behind the savagery she has to go through for answers. Is she really ready to risk it all? The choice is up to the doctor and her quest for answers.
This book is filled with everything I love: A mystery, sexual chemistry, lust, desire, and suspense. I was all in reading this one! I couldn’t help it — I highly recommend it as India Kells is quickly becoming one of my favorite authors. Anything I see with her name, I can’t put down and this book was absolutely no exception. So, pick up your copy and you won’t be disappointed.

This book is one of the grittiest I’ve read in awhile. I didn’t enjoy how graphic Kristina’s life was prior to meeting Trey but at least she kept a decent head on her shoulders to move away from all of the pain she endured. I love the way they not only loved one another but sought out to heal one another’s wounds after a worse past that could’ve taken the both of them down but in different ways. This is a sweet book about resilience, determination and the sweetest love that one can experience. We have to remember the characters are also human but as we all are, they are also flawed but in the best ways possible.

This is the first book I’ve read by this author and while this had some things I didn’t care for, in looking forward to the rest of the series.
Im a details person, I like to know a bit about where aa character is in a book but I felt, personally, there was a bit too much detail in this book. And I’m not a huge fan of back and forth in time, but again personal preference.
Otherwise I enjoyed this story, and it does pick up after a bit. I will say the details I enjoyed was we knew our characters, and pretty well too. Logan felt like a real, normal person and I love that when I can feel that with a character.
So in all, a good book, with a mystery woven into it.

Trey: European Redemption (Russian Mob Chronicles Book 7) by Shandi Boyes was a great 5 star read. I love a good read and this story pulled me right in, the author pushes the boundaries on the topic and grittiness.

This is Trey and Kristina’s (Duchess) story. Trey works for Nikolai who we met in a previous book. Trey is very protective and when he meets Kristina he’s pulled right in by her. There was something about her eyes, something familiar. Kristina was forced into sex-trafficking the last six years and I would consider her a survivor. Trey also has some things from his past that have made him the man he is today.

Can these two put each other back together again?

Overall I really enjoyed this read. My emotions were all over the place, we get so much in one book. I really liked these two characters and the secondary characters added a great element to the story. I will warn that some things in this book may cause triggers for some. I look forward to reading more from this series and author. I love an author who isn’t afraid to give you dark, gritty and so much more. If you like a good series with no holds bar than 1-click and get started today.

Shattered: Logan Book 1 (The Logan McKenna Series)Shattered: Logan Book 1 by Valerie Davisson
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Shattered is the first book in Valerie Davisson’s Logan McKenna series that introduces us to … well… Logan McKenna who has to rebuild her life after a tragedy that threw everything she knew about herself and her life up in the air. I think at times she feels like there is nothing there for her to fall back onto, she has to not only get a new place to live but also a new career. It was my first read by the writer and as I like a good thriller like most of us and I have been curious about Native Americans and their art then I decided to pick up a copy. The writer’s style as such was very reader friendly and it was surprising that the story didn’t pull me in as I would have expected. At times I did struggle with what time we were in and whether it was a flashback or present or … also I found it challenging to connect with Logan and the other characters. I also felt at times that the story slowed down too much and then got a jump on and rushed.
This IS the first book of the series and I am open to give it another try and go and read the second book as I liked that Logan was different from other ‘investigators’ I have met. She is not young or naïve, she has learnt from the challenges the life has thrown at her and she has had to step outside of her sheltered past.
I also wonder whether it was my expectations that got the best of me and I should have simply breathed in and the breathed out and gone with the flow …

This one is a struggle for me. The story has too much filler and background information. Which made it seem slow. I kept waiting and waiting for something to happen and it didn’t until about half way through the story. Logan seems like a good character but she doesn’t seem like a person who would try to solve this murder. It was interesting learning about the glassblowing and knife making.

This has some Flashbacks which I am not a fan of. Too much back and forth causes the reader(me) to become displaced and can lose interest. Sadly this story just didn’t work for me.

4 Stars!!!!

I will admit that this isn’t my go to genre but I do like to try out new types of books. I have to admit that I did find this book quite enjoyable. The author does a great job with handling the subject matter within the book. I found that I was quite drawn into this book as the drama unfolded in it. I found that hearing the audio book added even more. The narrator really has a great amount of enthusiasm and makes a great addition.

The emotions that Tessa went through and the drama I felt as though I was going through it vicariously through the character. I found that I started to route for Locke the more the book progressed. Sometimes the bad boy isn’t such a bad boy at all and they are the ones that save the damsel in distress. I really found the author’s writing style and will definitely read more from her in the future.

Center of Gravity (Ice Tigers #2)Center of Gravity by Isabella Cassazza
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Center of Gravity is an excellent stand alone sports romance. Emilia is stereotyped as being the Italian princess, but she has been ruled by her grandfather for most of her adult life. Matt is a focused and determined hockey player with no room for distractions in his life. When Emilia’s grandfather buys Matt’s beloved hockey team and puts her in charge it is quickly apparent that they two of them have some unfinished business together (don’t want to say too much as it may spoil the story line.)
I really enjoyed this book, I liked the dynamic between the two main characters and the fact that they were (mostly) always honest with each other. I also liked the supporting characters, which makes me want to go back and read the first book in the series. Highly recommend to fans of the sports romance genre.

I loved reading the book Flicker to Fire (Crimson Sash Book 3) by Amanda Marin. It is a story that pulled me in from the beginning and I was hooked. I have loved reading this series since the first book. I love the characters of Neve Hall and Micah Ward. They are both brave, strong, and have a fierce determination that the Nation’s human rights abuses do not go unpunished. Neve and Micah are characters that you can’t help but root for them to succeed against the Nation. They stand up for those who seek freedom and escape. They also have a love for one another that is undeniable. What does the future hold for Neve, Micah, and the New Republic? Read this book to find out. This is a story that had me turning pages wondering what was going to happen next. It has both heartbreaking and heartwarming moments. I found my emotions going up and down the entire time that I was reading the book. I enjoyed reading about the additional characters that each have their part to play in the story. The author does a wonderful job of making both the storyline and the characters come alive. I felt like I was right there with them. Don’t miss out on an exciting and entertaining story that I didn’t want to put down until I had read the final page. I highly recommend reading it. It is the third book in a series and to fully understand all that transpires it is best to read the stories in order.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Her Blackened Soul is the first book in the Blackened series.

I will be honest; I struggled a bit with this book. I LOVE the premise of the story. It has a lot of potential. I gave the book four starts for creativity and originality. What I had a difficult time with were the parts of it that were slow-moving. I felt like the book didn’t have a steady flow to it.

Her Blackened Soul is written in fairytale tale style, but from the villain’s angle. I am a fan of dark fantasy so I enjoyed that aspect of the story. Overall, I feel like this book could be fabulous with a little bit of added depth and removal of some of the more repetitive parts (i.e. the constant reminder of Isra’s evilness).

Even though I had a challenge with this book, I’ll probably check out book two to see if the writing has progressed. It may be that this book, because it is the first in the series, is a little bit rougher and things will polish up as it goes forward.

Flicker to Fire (Crimson Sash, #3)Flicker to Fire by Amanda Marin
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

 

Flicker to Fire is the third book in the Crimson Sash series by Amanda Marin. It is an original futuristic, dystopian, YA fantasy- with sci-fi elements, action, adventure, drama, intrigue, friendship, romance, politics, violence, social justice messages, human rights issues, emotion, and lots more.
This book follows on from the first two, with a bridging storyline and many recurring characters- so I really recommend reading the first two books before starting on this one, to get the best possible reading experience of this story.
I have followed the series from the beginning and have been eagerly awaiting the release of this book to continue the adventure. So much has happened along the course of these three books- so I couldn’t help but get caught up in everything that transpired here and what the characters were going through. Amanda Marin certainly knows how to spin a riveting tale and held me enthralled the whole way through.
I don’t want to reveal any of the plot, past or present- just in case you haven’t read any of the books yet, as I really don’t want to give anything away that may spoil the story for you- except to say that if you love dystopian, YA, or future fantasy- then you probably won’t want to miss out on reading this book/series.
I wonder what Ms. Marin has planned for us next?

Thank you, Amanda Marin!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Center of Gravity is the 2nd of 3 books in the Ice Tigers Hockey Romance series by Isabella Cassazza. It is the first I have read, but it can be enjoyed as a stand alone novel. I really loved it, and plan to go back and read book 1 next, then the 3rd book. The story is a romance, but it is clean, with only a couple scenes approaching the pg 13 range. The characters were wonderful, even though they both annoyed me at times. It is mostly told from Emilia’s point of view, but Matt had some chapters as well. I like books written so we can understand the feelings of both main characters. Both Matt and Emilia were overly stubborn, but I loved that they put their differences aside and quickly decided to co-parent. Emilia is a strong female lead character, and while Matt is stubborn as can be, he is also a really great guy. There are a lot of supporting characters that I bet will get their own stories, and I look forward to that. I recommend this book and will definitely read more.

The Abduction of Sarah Tarbell by Stuart Ledwith is a compelling read that will stay with you long after you have read it. Be sure to have tissues at hand because it will wreck you emotionally. It is fast paced and a short read, but it definitely packs a punch. The story is about a young woman who has a harrowing and gruelling time after her abduction in the early 1700’s and captivity by Indians. She was also sold on and lived to tell her tale of a life she never dreamed about. The way Stuart tells her story you can feel everything that she goes through as if you were the one experiencing it.

It is just like the saying, sometimes “the truth is stranger than fiction”. Not a story to be missed.

The Slaughter of Leith Hall by Lexie Conyngham is an interesting historical murder mystery set in early Scotland and I love Scotland and its history having visited there several times. And I can still remember the feel of Culloden and the resting place of many and this brought it all back. Historical fiction is not always my thing, but I occasionally don’t mind reading them. The story was a bit slow to start with and I found it hard at times to settle in but once I did finally did, I enjoyed the mystery and suspense that the story brings. Lexie is very detailed in her writing, so it was easy to imagine the world she has created. If you love a good mystery and a bit of history, then The Slaughter of Leith Hall is one to grab and read.

My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Her Blackened Soul (The Blackened) by Isra Sravenheart is about a villainess who is a witch and very, very dark witch at that. It is a dark fairytaleish type story even as dark as the Grimm brothers. Not that this bothers me, I like dark and twisted sometimes but only if it is done right. For me the characters didn’t quite have the depth and growth I would have liked, and I found the constant reminder that our villainess was bad and had a dark soul a bit too much. I also found the story to be slow and found myself wandering whilst trying to stay focused. Just because it didn’t live up to my expectations, I have high standards, does not mean it will not for others, so please give it a go as it is an original concept.
