REBECCA STEELE FINDING A DREAM by Joanne Patterson is the second book in the Rebecca Steele series. Rebecca, or Becky Steele, has been living her best life with her friend, Emily, there for the ride. She has changed the direction of her life and little does she know but there are more changes to come. Does she take this new opportunity or continue the life she is enjoying? I hadn’t read the first book in the series but really enjoyed the characters and story in this book. Becky is a strong but sweet individual who can inspire someone to follow their dreams. I read this story quickly and enjoyed there were a few twists to keep me on my toes. I also enjoyed that the story doesn’t get saccharine sweet as some inspirational stories do. The characters are well rounded and interesting. I look forward to grabbing more books in the future by this author.

Love Comes in the Mourning by Erin Bevan. I loved this book from the beginning. I pulled at my heartstrings. Sometimes things turn out the opposite of how we want and expect them too. Loss is not easy to overcome but when 2 people suffer losses, maybe they can help each other heal their hearts. That is exactly what I loved about this book. I loved the relationship that Leslie and John built and I was cheering them on as I read. This is definitely a book that I will be recommending to friends!!

Be One with Me (Finding Love in Green Springs Book 2) by CA Miconi
I really loved the first book in this series, Be Brave With Me so I was very excited to read this one. I am happy to say that I wasn’t disappointed. I loved this sweet romantic story. My emotions were all over the place, there is laughter, love, tears, family, and friendship. I loved getting to know Sally and Nolan. Sally is an independent, business owner, city girl who’s life changes when her mom passes away from cancer. Nolan is a business owner and small town kind of guy, who has lost his wife to cancer. These two are opposites in many ways and when they meet for the first time the chemistry is there between them. Sally has a hard time letting people in, can she let down her walls enough to see if there’s anything that can grow between them. Nolan hasn’t wanted to try to date since his wife passed away because he feels like there was only one woman for him, but Sally has him feeling something he didn’t think he would feel again. What will happen between these two? There are also some other wonderful characters in this story that you won’t want to miss out on. I can’t wait to read the next book in this series. I highly recommend this book.

Being Lost is the first book in Manda Mellett’s Satan’s Devils MC San Diego series. We have been waiting for it for a while now! I love that Manda is venturing out with all those spin- offs! I think the one we are still missing is the Las Vegas Chapter! What it also means, is that there will be so much more goodness coming our way! In general we are so used to seeing all those young buff guys as the heroes in the MC series, dark and gloomy … it is not very often that we meet someone of Lost’s calibre and age and add to it Patsy and women of mature age will gleefully sit back and loose away some hours in their company! I also love how the writer creates these tangible connections between the mother chapter and the other chapters! Patsy’s daughter is Bethany, Ink’s Old Lady who we met in Ink’s Devil, book #5 in the Colorado Chapter series! Also, I absolutely love the brotherhood and loyalty and standing with all your brothers in the time of need and it also gives us an opportunity to get snippets from the lives of brothers we have met in the other books. Lost is the prez of the San Diego chapter and his journey to this position has not been a light one … it is so often that he feels like he has been lost for a while now … Patsy has left his old life behind to keep her daughter and son safe and she thinks she is safe in San Diego but one’s past has a tendency of popping up when one does not want or need it and so happens also here … in ride the Satan’s Devils to save the day and off we go! You would think that it would be a fast paced, guns blazing kind of a story but you could not be further from the reality … it flows like a river on a warm summer day, leaving you feel just right! Dear Manda, thank you for finally giving us San Diego chapter and please keep them’ coming!

Be One with Me (Finding Love in Green Springs Book 2) by CA Miconi. This is a great romance and it could be read as a standalone but I think its so much better having read the first one. Its the story of Sally who has seems to have it all together. She is super successful with her own business, a upscale condo and plenty of money in the bank but in reality life seems pretty messed up to Sally. Her mom has just died from cancer and on her deathbed told Sally to find he real father, that he is not dead as she had always believed. On top of that she gets mugged and is scared to death. That causes her to move to Green Springs, Mississippi a super small town where crime is low and people are friendly. She meets Nolan after moving there who appears to have it all together, he has his own business, loves his life and has plenty of money in the bank. The only thing the two of them have in common is Nolan has just lost his wife to cancer. Can they make this relationship work? Read Be One with Me to find out.

Rebecca Steele Finding The Dream By Joanna Patterson is the second book in the Rebecca Steele series. This book can be read as a stand-alone although I would recommend reading book 1 first as it follows the same characters. This is definitely an entertaining book and one that is easy to get into, even without having read the first book. The characters were fun and engaging, Becky seemed like she would be a great person to meet. The story itself was fairly lighthearted and easy to read. I found myself reading it quickly as I got lost in the story. This was a great book to read and I am looking forward to what might be next.

I love boxsets, especially when they contain some of my favorite reads. Rowena Holloway has done just that with having all three of the Ashes to Ashes novels in one convenient place for me to devour again and again, or even to gift. This happens to be one of my favorite series from Rowena Holloway and has a bit of something for everyone in each of the novels. I have included my individual review for each novel below for some insight into what you will be getting with these books. Enjoy!
Bad Things Happen (Ashes to Ashes, #1) I have really had a fantastic streak of luck with finding some wonderful new authors this new year! Rowena Holloway just made this list with Bad Things Happen: Gripping Psychological Suspense (Ashes to Ashes #1). I had no idea what to expect going into this but I knew I would love it once I saw the cover and read the excerpt. It had me just with that. What I found inside was quite the story and I felt like I took a little getaway to London for the afternoon! It was a great escape for the snowy day.
Charlotte Ashe is sick of being the weather girl. She wants so much more and dreams of covering the big stories one day. An opportunity blows her way in the name of Joey Baptiste, and it may not be the golden story she bargained for all along. In fact it could actually put her and his life in danger! The twists and turns were hard to predict, something I enjoy when it comes to these types of novels. I thought it was quirky which helped with the one part that I did find a bit off, which is the jumps in the timelines. It made the story flow well in the long run. Overall, a great read and I can’t wait to get my hands on the next one in the series!
Less You Know (Ashes to Ashes #2) I was not so sure when I picked up the first book in the Ashes to Ashes, Bad Things Happen, but once I finished it I knew I would be back for the rest of the books in the series. I was so excited when I saw the cover of Less You Know pop up on my new reads list that I dived in first and asked questions later… who am I kidding, the only question I asked is why did that end and when is the next one coming!?!? Rowena Holloway stuns us once again with a fantastic and true to title gripping suspenseful read. I felt as if I was on an up down ride of emotions that I couldn’t make much sense of from one moment to the next. Of course, this is a good thing when you go to get lost in a suspenseful thrilling book. Once again, Charlotte and her friend are the center of this story and we see them much as we did in the first book. Only this time we learn much more about their secrets and all that people tend to be hiding. Even when we think we know them the best. I absolutely loved it and I can’t wait to get my hands on the next book! Thanks for the great read Ms. Holloway!
From The Ashes (Ashes to Ashes, #3) Rowena Holloway has quickly become an author I can’t get enough of. I have been devouring her books a lot lately and the latest for me, From The Ashes, has to be one of my top favorites of hers. Holloway knows how to write some psychological and twisty suspense. I often feel as if my emotions are put through the ringer each time I embark on a journey with her books. I was on edge from the very beginning until that last bittersweet chapter. I can’t say enough good about the world building and attention to detail that is ever present in all of Rowena Holloway’s novels.
From The Ashes is book three of the Ashes to Ashes series, but they can be read as stand alone novels. I highly recommend that you read them all anyways! We get the story of Charlotte and she has a trippy road to take in this novel. Charlotte is a journalist seeking the truth about some questionable deaths at the Hall. As she starts to find things out and the closer she gets to the truth the crazier things seem. Just as they build to a head a fire leaves Charlotte among a group of missing people. I can assure you this one will have you reading just one more page, or till I figure this out, well past your bedtime! I know I was up well into the night because I just had to know what would come next. I can’t wait to see what will come next from the ever talented Rowena Holloway!
I am kind of a sucker for small town romances. Something about the feel they give me as I am reading, almost as if I am transformed to the place it takes place in and visiting while meeting a new set of friends that I have come to love and care for. Be One with Me by CA Miconi did just that for me. I was instantly taken to Green Springs, Mississippi and tiptoeing through the countryside as I watched Nolan and Sally navigate the new relationship they find themselves in.
I love how these two are literally polar opposites. Nolan is a country boy through and through. He is also recovering from the loss of his wife due to cancer. Sally is very much a city girl who has a lot going for her in her life. Except loss visits her life too and she starts to question what will really make her life a happy one worth living. When these two meet they know the differences but feel the connection. Will they be able to find a way to overcome the differences and heal the one thing they have in common? These two were so sweet and I loved reading all about them. I do think now I will go back and check out book one in the Finding Love in Green Springs series since I fell in love with this one so much. I can’t wait to see what book three will have in store for us as well.

I was so stoked to get my hands on this book, Dead Magic, the third in The Sanctuary Chronicles from India Kells. This has to be one of my favorite series of hers and they are jammed full with action, adventure, magic, mystery, lore, and steamy fun to balance it all out. I could not wait to get the story of Violet and Finn with this one and they did not disappoint. Another side note about this series is the covers, like they literally grab you without even saying a word. I wouldn’t even need a title on these to know they have to be full of some amazing story lines. This one may be my fav because of the purple undertones but it is drool worthy and definitely worth mentioning. I would highly recommend also that you read the first two books before this one. While it can be read as a stand alone novel I feel that these are better read in order so you get that slow and inevitable build up of excitement with each new one you read. This one has my favorite pairing, a sexy vampire, and a fierce witch. These two don’t want what fate is throwing their way. Will they be able to find the common ground and manage a relationship? That is about all I felt safe sharing the rest is only good when read by your own eyes. I can’t wait to see what will come next!

Description : Beck O’Rourke and her grandmother own Beach Reads bookstore and coffee shop, a gathering place for locals and tourists, a block off the ocean in Manatee Beach, Florida.They live above the bookstore with Beck’s feisty younger sister, Lizzie, a lifeguard. Beck is excited to host the country’s best selling cozy mystery writer for a book signing event until a member of the audience turns up dead later that night. Afterward, Beck decides to pursue her lifelong dream of being a detective to try to catch the killer. The amateur sleuth finds a slew of suspects, but the murderer isn’t happy about her interference. Neither is the town’s handsome new police detective who has a history with Beck. Review : This is my second book by Judy Moore. She is an amazing writer. She did a great job of bringing the small town of Manatee Beach, Florida and all of the characters to life. The first book was Somebody In The Neighborhood. Both books are set in the same small Florida town of Manatee Beach. They are not in the same series and have different main characters, there are some secondary characters who show up in both. Highly recommended!

I was really excited when I found out the third book in the Black Blade Series from Alexander Charalambides would have Megan in it as the star of the show. We got to see glimpses of her in the past two books and I really enjoyed her character. I was very excited to get to see her shine in Golden Void. Megan has been newly adopted and also is taking on the task of the second quest. She will face magic, wizards, and more fabulous swords, as she finds her way to the end. Will she succeed or will she get lost in trying to figure out who she is rather than the quest. I loved this concept and that the magic and folklore that I enjoyed in the other two novels was present here once again. I will be interested to see who will shine in the next book!

My heart is still racing from the adrenal rush from this story. One of my favorite topics is Mythology. I love the gods, demi-gods, and the history around them. Luciana Cavallaro is a mastermind. She has created worlds for her characters to come to life. The absorbent amount of details paint a vivid picture that one can see. There is everything you would expect in a historical fantasy story: adventure, action, gods, mythology, drama, prophecy and relics. Her characters fly off the page which makes the story all around awesome. Evan is in the 21st Century world. He was taken to Ancient Greece. He needs to complete some tasks for his father Zeus. That is how he will return to the 21st Century. Will Evan complete his tasks? Will he survive the journey? I highly recommend reading this heart pumping story to find out the answers to these questions and many more adventures that are within the pages of this book.

Erin Bevan really hit the nail on the head with this latest novel that I read by her, Love Comes in The Mourning. I must say this is quite the emotional roller coaster of a read that will keep you on the verge of tears, if not ugly crying, throughout most of the book. The couple we meet, Lesley and John both have pasts that would make anyone wanna give up on love but together they will get a chance to rekindle love and try to find happiness once again. Will it be with each other? Can they heal enough from the pasts they have to be able to love again? These two were so relatable and realistic that I often felt as if I was reading a memoir. I loved how they both had a strong anchor in the book and rather than fighting for the limelight they both shined just as equally as the other. I cannot wait to see what we will get next from Erin Bevan. I know for sure I will be right there ready to soak it all up!

The Irresistible Weddings Anthology contains the following novels/novellas: TWO HEARTS’ ALLIANCE: Tamara Ferguson, USA Today bestselling author ETERNAL: Natalie Ann, USA Today bestselling author WEDDING AT FIREHOUSE RANCH: Suzanne Jenkins, USA Today bestselling author ALL MY LOVING: Cynthia Cooke, USA Today bestselling author MAKE ME BURN: Alicia Street, USA Today bestselling author PLAYING WITH THE BRIDESMAID: Stephanie Queen, USA Today bestselling author BETWEEN BABIES AND GIRLFRIENDS: Mona Risk, New York Times and USA Today bestselling author THE RIGHT GROOM: Jen Talty, USA Today bestselling author WEDDING KNOT: Patrice Wilton, New York Times and USA Today bestselling author I was particularly excited to discover that this anthology contains another of the Wounded Warrior Series by Tamara Ferguson as I’ve recently become a huge fan of this series. This is a series of books with a military theme and contains military servicemen and women who have been wounded in the line of duty. In Two Hearts Alliance we are introduced to Captains Jeremy and Christine who first work together while Christine is still married. Jeremy can’t help is attraction to her. He is even more enamoured when she saves his life during a dangerous mission. Both meet again after Christine is divorced and they are unable to deny the attraction they have to one another. This is a beautiful romance story filled with so much angst and drama. I was gripped by this story from the very beginning and the author didn’t let me go as she took me through this rollercoaster of emotions. Christine and Jeremy are wonderful characters who I adored. I also loved that I got to see favourite characters from previous books and get a sneak peak at their futures. 100% recommend this anthology and the Wounded Warriors series by Tamara Ferguson.
This was such a lovely read; I was completely captivated by the whole book from beginning to end. The characters Lesley and John were wonderful; I especially fell in love with John straight away. I had my fingers crossed for Lesley the whole way through – I wanted her to find the man that she deserved someone who would love her like she loves. I could feel the emotions coming from John during the story; the author was able to get them across so well. The authors writing was slow to develop but it was absolutely perfect for this story, there is no way a fast paced read would have suited these characters and their story. I would absolute recommend Love Comes in the Mourning and this author and I look forward to reading more from Ms Bevan again in the future.

We first meet Becky Steele in ‘Rebecca Steele Chasing a Dream’, but although this is the second book in the ‘Rebecca Steele Series’ it can be read as a standalone story. I read it having not read the previous book and I thoroughly enjoyed it and then had to read the first book as well having fallen in love with Becky. Becky now rides horses and lives on a ranch outside Nashville, her life is definitely different to when she was flying on airplanes. Becky is not only making her name for herself within her country music career but she is also taking the Tennessee rodeo circuit by storm. Best friend Emily is by her side sharing Becky’s new adventure with her. Just as Becky decides that she is happier than she’s ever been and is determined to enjoy her new life, out of the blue she is thrown a curve, a big one. Knowing that the decisions she makes will not only effect her life but those closest to her Becky need to decide whether she will take a chance. I love Becky as a character as she has such a friendly, loving personality and is also independent and courageous and she is not afraid to go for what she wants in life. I found her relatable as a character and like that she shows her vulnerability at times, especially when she has to face her fears. Emily is a great best friend and I love the dialogue between the two of them. The storyline had plenty to keep me turning the pages, drama, suspense, romance and intrigue along with enough twists and turns that kept me guessing. I was cheering Becky on throughout this story as she worked toward attaining and living her dreams.

A very neat cozy mystery book which I enjoyed reading thoroughly. It has all the elements of a good book in it, a solid plot, good characters, a murder and a hint of romance. Sometimes you pick up a book not knowing much about the author or the book itself and read it with an open mind, with minimal expectations, it is a very pleasurable feeling when the book starts growing on the reader as you flip it page by page. This is precisely the effect this book had on me.
Beck O’Rourke co-owns Beach Reads bookstore and coffee shop with her grandmother. They live in an apartment along with Beck’s sister above the bookstore. They have book signing events which happen very frequently where they get small time and relatively well-to-do authors to speak and then sign the books bought in their store. On one such book signing event, they invite a Cozy mystery author, Marcia Graybill to their bookstore. As people love her mysteries, they get an audience of over 50 that day and the event turn out to be very successful.
Shortly after, in the night, there is a dead body found behind the jewelry store, which is adjacent to the book shop. The police department, headed by a handsome police detective Devon, arrive on the scene of the crime and make their own conclusions, which Becky does not concur with. She heads off to investigate the murder on her own. The murderer does not like this intrusion and neither does the police department. Now Becky’s life is in danger and she has to go all out to crack this case by herself. It is a brilliant plot and a very edgy read; I could not guess the murderer till the very end. There are times however when I did feel Becky was taking too much liberty and it was amusing that people did not mind her intrusions or her queries. She is not a hired detective after all. It was like reading one of Ms. Marple’s mysteries of Agatha Christie, but Ms. Marple would take an effort to acquaint herself with her suspects personally before extracting information from them. Becky goes a fast forward route and with one visit or one phone call, her suspects seem to disclose quite a lot to her, which I found slightly amusing. I was also expecting a slightly longer romantic liaison between the main leads, but considering it a cozy mystery, it is understandable that the inferences have to be subtle.
Otherwise I loved every bit of it, the characters were adorable. And as I said earlier, I read this book with a very open mind and as a reader, reaped the rewards. A very fine book and looking forward to read more from this author!

Dead Magic is the third book in the Sanctuary Chronicles series. It can be read as a standalone, but I highly recommend the previous books because they are awesome!
This book grabbed a hold of me in the first chapter and didn’t let go. The action starts almost right away and it leads you on a journey with Finn to find Violet and save her.
I love the characters in this book. Who doesn’t love a brooding vampire and witches, right??? Especially when they are drawn together but don’t want to be. You connect to the characters right away, which keeps you invested in their story and the outcome.
Superb read! Get this book! You will not be disappointed.

Fall is the second book in The Ragnarök Prophesies by A.K. Morgen. It is a fantastic blend of paranormal fantasy, Norse mythology, the prophecy of Ragnarök, destiny, wolves, danger, and intrigue- all wrapped up in a captivating story. The characters are interesting and fully developed individuals- I found that this book is definitely more character driven, as the characters work through a lot of ‘inner’ issues, emotions, trying to figure out everything that has happened previously, as well as what they’re going through in this book. The need for communication, trust, and decision is paramount- but things aren’t quite going to plan. They will need to work it out and deal with their issues, before it’s too late! There’s a lot at stake! Bring on Book #3!!!

Dare Me: A Paranormal Demon Romance but Felicity Brandon is the first book in the Demonology series. This book is a dark book that will have you utterly captivated from the start. I loved the connection between Raif and Sara, you could feel it in every page. It was such an intense relationship that you were instantly drawn into it. I found myself glued to the pages, reading quicker and quicker as I tried to find out what was going to happen. This is first book that I have read by this author and I really loved the intense and gritty feel to it. It isn’t something I expected which made it all the more exciting. The book was really well developed and I loved the way the author created the story. This is was fantastic book and one I would highly recommend.

Golden Void is the third book in Black Blade series by Alexander Charalambides. This Ya/Fantasy can be read as a stand alone,but I recommend you read the series in order because you will miss a lot of the backstory. They are all great books packed with action and adventure. Megan is finally settling in as an adopted teen when she is thrown into a quest. The characters in this series are amazing and the story flows from beginning to end. I really enjoy Mr. Charalambides work and look forward to reading more from him.

Love Comes in the Mourning by Erin Bevan a sweet and powerful four-star read. This is one of those stories that will surprise you as just when you think you know where the characters are going they take a turn and change things up, but in a great way, this is one of those stories that show us how we each deal with things differently and how that’s okay. Lesley was a great character and one that you will feel and support from the first page, she is such a compelling character. I enjoyed the slow burn element of the story, but It did go off the boil at times and I wondered what was happening but then it started to warm and it warmed my heart no end.

Irresistible Weddings plenty of reads worth celebrating. This has some great authors telling us some fantastic stories, of the eight authors I didn’t find one that I didn’t enjoy. I enjoyed that they all had a different twist, sometimes in an anthology you get a couple that may be similar, but I didn’t find that here, it was refreshing and fun to read. I must say a special mention to Tamara Ferguson as I adored her previous work so this was just like a cherry on top for me. Jen Talty with The Right Groom and Stephanie Queen with Playing with the Bridesmaid also rated highly with me, but there wasn’t a story I didn’t enjoy.
Martimus by Seelie Kay a five-star read that will keep you hooked. This is number five in the Feisty Lawyers series and I would say you can read this one as stand-alone, but the whole series is sublime, they all just keep you on the edge of your seat. This one has plenty of romance, but also plenty of drama and suspense, and the best thing is it just wraps everything up into this amazing story that will hook you in. I enjoyed how you are sucked so deeply into the story you will feel like you are part of the investigation, you will be wondering what is going on with these women, you will feel like you are one of the amazing characters unfolding this dramatic story. If you haven’t picked up this author before do it, as you wont be disappointed.

This is the 3rd book in the Black Blade series and this follows Megan.
Megan is a young girl who was adopted by Kendrick. When Megan follows Kendrick one night too make sure she comes to no harm she is entangled in the going on of magic one again and sent on another quest.
There is a killer on the loose and they are targeting the one who has the sword. Megan is sent on this quest with Tyson, who is a cocky athletic kid. Megan’s main job is to keep him and his attitude under control until they reach their destination. Also along this journey Megan is again left wondering who if anyone she can trust.
I really enjoyed this fantasy adventure. It contains a great deal of mystery as well as legend and murder. The author builds the character really well that you feel as if you are actually on the journey with them. It keeps you gripped and guessing from beginning to end.

This is an amazing collection of short stories which feature feisty women as then main character. They cover all generes of romance such as Paranormal, Contemporary, Fantasy, and Historical.
All the stories are good reads but one of my favourites is by Maggie Adams and is called Good Bones. It is a story written very well and even though it is a short story you get the full complete story so you don’t feel like anything is missing out of it because of the length.

Casey plans to change the home back into a b&b but this plan is stopped thanks to Griffin’s interference.

5 Star The Labyrinthine Journey (Servant of the Gods Book 2) by Luciana Cavallaro is a Historical Fantasy that I absolutely loved reading. One of my favorite genres is historical and I’m a sucker for anything mythology so this book was a must read This my first read by this Author but I’m definitely going to go back and read the first book in this series. This story is about Evan and he’s searching for some sacred relics for his father to take him back to the present. While on his journey he goes to battle with mythical creatures . Can he find his way back or will he be lost in history? Find out what happens next in this epic story. I highly recommend.

Kay does an incredible job weaving a tale of intrigue and suspense that leaves the reader glued to their seats. I’ve loved this series and this latest installment did not disappoint. The main characters this round were fun to read and watch develop in their relationships. It was equal parts crime, intrigue, and amazing romantic chemistry. Loved every page and will absolutely one click Seelie Kay every time!

While this is the second book in the series, you do not have to have read the first book prior to this one. There are some overlapping characters, but nothing that would keep a reader from understanding this story. This book focuses on Sally and Nolan. Sally is a successful city girl that finds herself in the country when she needs to escape the city and her feelings of loneliness. Her mother has passed away and she has just survived a violent attack. She is determined to find out about her long lost father after her mother provides information when she is on her death bed. Nolan is a successful country boy that can’t ever see himself leaving this town. He has lost his wife to cancer and also finds himself alone. These two come from two different worlds, so can they put their differences aside to pursue the attraction between them? Can they both let their guard down to let each other in? This is a slow burn book…which is necessary given their situations. I laughed…cried…and enjoyed every minute.
