My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Girl Trap is the third book in Cynthia Hamilton’s Girl Trap series and another 4 star read. Much like the first two books in the series, Girl Trap provided enough twists and turns in it’s storyline to keep me interested from start to finish. The books flow well and honestly, I continue to enjoy Madeline and the character growth and progression she’s shown throughout the series and I truly look forward to seeing what else Madeline (and Cynthia Hamilton) has in store for us.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I thought this was a really good book! This isn’t my first book by this author and it won’t be my last because she keeps putting out great books and I end up liking every one of them. This was a paranormal story that the author brought to life with her charcters and her attention to details. I love all of the witches and shifters and the story had some parts that I didn’t see coming which was awesome. I can’t wait to read more by this author and more in this same series! I would recommend to anyone that loves paranormal, this one is a great one to spend a day reading on!
Go get it!
Happy Reading!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Wow. This relationship filled story left my heart shattered in the best possible way. So many emotions! Going in to this I expected to enjoy the storyline but I was unprepared for the multiple layers to the story that added such a fantastic depth to each page. Lost love, lost family, reignited passion, going home – so many wonderful layers. Archer does a beautiful job with this book. It stands alone easily (for which I’m thankful not having yet read the first in the series). But I will definitely look to add more from this series and author to my library ASAP.

Girl Trap (The Madeline Dawkins Series Book 3)Girl Trap by Cynthia Hamilton
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Madeline is back again in this third installment in the series. This book is interesting as it has two plot lines happening…and I found myself intrigued to find out what would happen with both of them. Mike and Madeline are still running their party planning business and their PI firm. Mike, the crazy ex, makes himself known again in this story. However, this time we are left with an unknown conclusion to the story…so I am thinking there is going to (hopefully) be another book that will let us know what happened!

I enjoyed this book. It was fun to read and kept me guessing what was going to happen next. You don’t necessarily have to have already read the other stories in the series to understand what is happening (but it adds to their back story). Another good book in this series!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Blind Magic (The Sanctuary Chronicles #2) by India Kells was a great 5 star read.
I was pulled in right from the beginning if you like paranormal romance you will love this book.

Sera is a witch who is gradually losing her sight. She is curious and likes to learn about things and she isn’t shy about asking people questions. I loved the scene where she asked Ian to turn for her so she could see how it was done.

We move forward with a great story with mystery and twist and turns. The author does a great job of pulling you in with her writing. I really liked Sera’s strength and fierceness in protecting her loved ones. The connection between Sera and Ian was great, you could feel it coming off the pages. I look forward to reading the next book in the series. 1-click and get started today.

Blind Magic: The Sanctuary Chronicles Book 2

I loved this book. This isn’t the first book I have read by this author so I knew it would be good going in because she is a very talented author. It turned out to be great.This story is full of magic, suspense, romance, amazing characters and more. I could not get enough of Ian, he is very protective of Sera and is drawn to her. His past shattered his heart but when he’s with Sera he feels better. Sera is intelligent, independent and fiercely loyal. There are also other characters in this book that would do anything for each other. This book kept me on the edge of my seat. I was completely enthralled in this unique and wonderful story. I was hooked from the beginning and I couldn’t put it down until I found out what was gonna happen. I highly recommend this awesome book.

Another Yesterday (Seashells and Second Chances Collection Book 2) by Angela Christina Archer was very enjoyable. I loved this second chance romance novel. It had a great storyline and interesting characters. I loved Maggie and Rachel and the back and forth between time. It was interesting to read things that happened with her mom. I hated Rachel’s ex hubby Paul after what happened. It broke my heart. Overall I really enjoyed this book and would recommend it.

5 stars!

I love paranormal and this book was unlike any paranormal I’ve read before, it’s refreshing. This book can be read as a stand alone but, I would recommend reading the first book. The story is wonderful, my heart was breaking for Sera, not because she is blind, because she can handle her own even with her disability, but because she couldn’t be with the one her heart loves the most. I was nervous for her and Ian, her werewolf lover, with Ian’s struggle to come to terms with his wife and daughter that have passed as well as the rules against inter species dating. The clever part to me in this book is finding out that Sera is not only a witch, and it’s a surprise at who her father really is, and the lengths she goes to find out how to stop the shadow people from coming after her and killing her. The loyalty of her friends and the shifter community is beautiful, they all rally to keep Sera safe and help wherever possible. I can’t wait to read Finn’s story which I am hoping comes next!

Another Yesterday by Angela Christina Archer is the second book in the Seashells and Second Chances Collection. The books can be read as standalone which was fantastic since this was my first read by this author. This book is full of family, love, and second chances. We get the story of Maggie, who needs to start her life over for herself and her baby girl in a small town. Thirty years later we get the story of Rachel who thought she had everything she ever wanted to lose it all and have to start over. This story is emotional and full of learning about the past in order to move on and have a better future. Will Rachel be able to find the light at the end of her path? I really enjoyed this story and how multifaceted it was. Truly between Maggie and Rachel you get two stories in one. I will be checking out other books in this series soon.

I enjoyed this book. This is a new author for me and I will be looking for more from her for sure. This is a story written with lots of heart and soul. It is like two stories in one. Two women both strong and both facing second chances despite what life has thrown at them. I had no problem connecting with the characters. They took me on a roller coaster ride that kept me turning pages. First you have Maggie who finds herself a single parent running from everything she knew. She finds a small town and runs an inn. Now you have Rachel who finds her husband cheating and she loses her mother at the same time. She suddenly finds herself the new owner of the inn. Will she find love in her high school boyfriend again? Will she find herself? There is much going on in this book and it was written well so you don’t get lost. This was a great rainy day read and I highly recommend it.

This is the second book in the Seashells and Second Chances series, but you don’t have to read the first installment to understand this book. Or at least, I didn’t and I haven’t read the first one. This novel had me laughing and crying, and this is a book I would love to read sitting on the beach, by the ocean. I thoroughly enjoyed this novel, and I highly recommend it!

Dares & Dice (Spicetopia Book 5)Dares & Dice by Phoebe Alexander
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Dares & Dice is the fifth novel in the Spicetopia series from Phoebe Alexander. I never feel like I have the right words to describe how much I love Phoebe’s work when I go to sit down to review it. I always feel as if I know the characters that I have read about and that is something I love finding in novels. I want to connect to the characters and love them and find myself cheering for the happily ever after that everyone wants. This one, Dares & Dice is no exception to the rule.

We get to meet Ty and Makenna in this one. Makenna is at Spicetopia for the bachelorette party of her dreams. Mind you Spicetopia is an adult theme amusement park, so there are a lot of opportunities for some wild and crazy fun as you would expect. The steam flows right through the kindle screen as you read these two and I could not get enough. See Ty is not her fiance… will he be the one last fun time situation that Makenna thinks is all she needs? These two are a story that you don’t want to miss. I enjoyed the way they played off each other and I found myself hoping for the poor fiance to be left in the dust long before the book was over. I can only hope we get more Spicetopia novels in the future because this is an amusement park I want to come back to over and over again.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I am all over the Seasons of Magic series from Sarah Biglow. This book and the first as well was fabulous and something I just could not put down until I had soaked up every page of the book. This is the second book like I said and we find Ezri, our main gal, sorta finding her footing now in the world as both a cop and the Savior of the Magical Community. She is getting just a tad confident when girls in her community start to go missing. The case gets awfully close to home as she struggles to find the perp and put an end to things with everyone she holds dear, and herself, safe and alive. I especially enjoyed the pairing of Ezri with FBI Agent Cartwright. These two have a wonderful chemistry that makes the story flow and feel all the more realistic. I can’t say enough good things about this book and really recommend that you start with the first in the series before diving into this one. You won’t be sad that you did! I can’t wait for the next one!!

Another Yesterday (Seashells and Second Chances Collection Book 2)Another Yesterday by Angela Christina Archer
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I enjoyed this novel and like the other stories in the series it is about strong independent woman who overcome hardships and find their second chances. The story is a sweet and sensual contemporary romance, which took me on an emotional rollercoaster whilst reading it. Each book in the series can be read as a standalone story. “Two lives. Two stories. One fateful afternoon family secrets are uncovered from the hidden depths of the past.” In 1966, nineteen year old Maggie finds herself alone with a baby having left the city, her friends, family and the baby’s father behind. Maggie ends up in a tiny town in Maine, Shadow Brook at a beautiful inn, a place where she can forget her past and start a fresh with her daughter. In 1996, Rachel finds herself at her mothers run down inn in Maine. Having loved her life and career in busy hectic New York she’s not happy to return to her childhood home. However after her mother passed away and she then finds her husband in bed with another woman, Rachel finds herself back in Shadow Brook. Finding herself face to face with Luke, her high school boyfriend complicates matters further. Whilst clearing out her mother’s things from the attic, she comes across an old box of letters and journals and secrets from her mother’s past suddenly come to light.
I found this novel to be wonderfully written with a storyline that really captured me and kept me turning the pages well into the night. I loved the characters, both Maggie and Rachel are likeable and realistic and the problems that they overcome made them very relatable. I especially enjoyed the similarities and differences between the mother and daughters lives and how they both ended up in Shadow Brook for their own second chances. I definitely recommend this novel, and I look forward to reading other books by this author.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Girl Trap (The Madeline Dawkins Series Book 3) by Cynthia Hamilton is a riveting read. As with the other two books in the series, Maddie is a powerful female lead. However, in this book, Mike, her partner, also gets to come into his own. When Madeline is tasked with tracking down a missing person, who hasn’t been seen in 10 years. Mike is off on a mission of his own, to track down his cousins missing girlfriend and her sister. I really liked how this book had two completely different mysteries to solve and this gave the characters a chance to shine individually. I also love the twists in the tale, I didn’t expect that ending! Really enjoyable read and as always I eagerly anticipate the next edition of the series.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The Labyrinthine Journey by Luciana Cavallaro is jam packed with so many of my favorite things that I don’t know where to start. Certain historical fiction definitely pulls me in but throw in the heavy hand of Greek Mythology and I am plum in heaven. This book follows Evan as he makes his way in a whole new world of ancient Greece. When I found out his father was Zeus I may have been a tad jealous. Evan is on a mission to find lost relics and help keep the mystical creatures and powers of the world he is in alive and strong. I loved the adventures we followed him on as he would battle through anything with such fervor that you could feel his emotions come off the screen of the kindle as you read I am very much looking forward to seeing what else may be available by Luciana Cavallaro, and to get my hands on the next book in this series!

Winter’s Wolf is the first book in The Cursed series.

I wasn’t sure what to expect when I got this book, but it turned out to be pretty good. The story concept is interesting and I enjoyed the characters. The author does a good job of building suspense so it keeps you reading. There are a few places where the story breaks down a bit, but I think this series has promise.

One of the things that caught me in this book are the names of the characters. I don’t know why it stood out, but the names really fit this book well.

Overall, a good read!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I have never had the pleasure until now to read anything penned by JD Spero, and I am so glad that I have. Boy on Hold is a very raw and realistic look into the lives of a boy, Hen Trout and his family’s battle with addiction, mental illness, and shocking murder. This family sees it all and the author does a very good job at keeping things authentic and realistic. Everything comes off as raw and real as you read that you can’t help but feel the same emotions that the characters are struggling with. I loved how this kept you on the edge of your seat and had a slow build throughout the story. It was impossible for me to put this book down until I reached that last page. I not only had to know how things would come to be for the family but even more wanted to keep reading because it was just that good. I felt transported right there and I can’t wait to see what else JD Spero has to get lost in soon! This is one you don’t want to miss!

4 Stars!!!!

Yet another great adventure in Spicetopia. I have read this whole series so far and yet again I was lost in the Spicetopia world with yet another great couple and a bit of drama thrown in to boot. I really could not put this book down and really could not wait to see how things would end up. The author has a really good way of luring the reader in and once hooked keeping your attention.

I really thought that the story of Makenna and Ty was kind of sweet. The whole situation is sort of complex from the beginning and the author has quite the way to spin the complexity. I could really feel the pain of Makenna as she is confronted with the betrayal and also could feel the rush of excitement when venturing into the unknown. I also really like how Ty didn’t let his family stand in the way of what he wants to do. I really enjoyed this book and I cannot wait to read more from this author and hopefully this series in the future.

Girl Trap (Madeline Dawkins #3)Girl Trap by Cynthia Hamilton
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Girl Trap is the 3rd book in the Madeline Dawkins Series by Cynthia Hamilton. This is a fast paced, thrilling detective series with gripping storylines and great characters. Each book in this series can be read as a stand-alone but I think you’d get a better understanding of Madeline and Mike’s characters and their background.
In Girl Trap, Madeline and Mike are both working on different missing women cases so we get the added bonus of 2 great stories at the same time.
Madeline is looking a Hannah, who has been missing for 10 years. Her mother is dying and wants to reconcile with her estranged daughter before she dies. Well, that’s the story she tells Madeline. What unfolds is a completely different story that has a very unexpected ending that you will not see coming.
At the same time Mike is looking for his cousin Jesse’s missing girlfriend and her sister. I have to say that this particular story had me more gripped than the story Maddie was working on. This storyline leads you into the dark and murky world of woman trafficking.
This book took me a little longer than the first 2 in the series to get gripped by, but once I did, it gripped me hard and I could not put this book down. Cynthia Hamilton sure knows how to write a well thought out thriller that will really have you invested in the story and the characters. The more I read of Madeline and Mike, the ore I come to love and admire that people that they have become. Both have overcome some serious adversity in the years preceding these stories. I can’t wait to see what Cynthia Hamilton has in store next for Maddie and Mike.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I can’t even put into words all of the emotions this story has put me through. Love, frustration, loss, sorrow, heartbreak, surprise and the sparkle of first love, even second love. At first I struggled with this. But at about 30% it really started coming together. There are plenty of date/year switches but as the story goes on I can see a reason for each and every one of them.

The writing in here is wonderful. The author made me care about the characters. Feel their joy and cry tears with them. There are certain parts in here that just really pulled on those old heartstrings. This is a definite journey that I went on that spans over time. Sometimes I felt it was a bit wordy and some areas could have been cut down but for the most part I really liked it.

The characters really just pulled me into their life. I felt the second love of James and Maggie as well as all the emotions of her first love, Charles. Then there is Rachel and her life with Paul and her regrets with Luke. This has secrets that are played out over the course of this story. Everyone has secrets but how damaging are they?

This becomes a mystery or a who did it. We meet other players and learn more and more about Tyler and Hen. Hen only wants to catch a hedgehog and keep the love and trust of his big brother. Tyler is just trying to get through each day. The author did a good job portraying these boys and this family. I came to came about them an hope against hope that they are all in the clear. I did wondered where the title came from when I picked this up. After reading it makes more sense.

The story moves along and easily kept my interest. I loved the characters and they story weaves together nicely.

“One dead father. One lying mother”. Twelve year old Rocky overheard his Mum admit that the story she had told him of his fathers death was a lie. Rocky does not know how he can trust her following that revelation. Then soon after his fathers funeral a ‘For-Sale’ sign appears in front of their house, a house full of memories of his dad.  Having moved house and having to start at a new school, Rocky suddenly hears the voice of his father, who is insisting that he return to his old town for answers, but can you take advice from a dead person? Rocky then makes a new friend in Olive who offers to be Rocky’s assistant sleuth and help him discover the truth. Rocky and Olive then go on a journey of risks, eavesdropping and snooping all to discover the truth about his father and find out why his mother lied. This is a contemporary mystery with an interesting storyline and great characters in Rocky and Olive. Both of the main characters were likeable and relatable and I loved how their relationship developed throughout the book. It had me hooked from the start and I found it an emotional story, and one I felt fully immersed in whilst reading.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Girl Trap is the third novel in the Madeline Dawkins series by Cynthia Hamilton, it follows, ‘Spouse Trap’ and ‘A High Price to Pay’. Event coordinator and private investigator Madeline Dawkins adventures continue in this story. Both Madeline and partner Mike are busy with two cases which at first glance look like simple missing person cases, however it doesn’t take long to discover that the disappearance of two sisters from Minnesota and an estranged heiress who has never touched her eight-figure fortune are not simple cases at all. Mike heads off to search for his cousin’s missing girlfriend and her sister whilst Madeline’s investigation leads her to a Catholic boarding school. Both investigations lead them into danger and soon several lives are hanging in the balance. Mike and Madeline are then faced with both daunting odds and ruthless criminals.
Having been gripped by the first two books in this series I was looking forward to this third instalment and I was definitely not disappointed. I was hooked from page one with this fast paced mystery, adventure, thriller. I love Madeline as the main character and heroine of this series and I’m always cheering her on to a good outcome. I found this a great read and was fully immersed in Madeline Dawkins world once again.
