Who: A Stalker Series novel is the first book in a new series by Megan Mitcham. It is a fantastic psychological thriller that will grip you hard from the very beginning and keep you on the edge of your seat as it takes you through every emotion possible and throw so many twists and turns at you that you won’t know which way to look. Megan Mitcham is a new author to me and I really wish I had found her before as if this book is any guide as to the quality of her writing then I really can’t wait to read more of her work. I love a good psychological thriller and as this series is concerning stalkers then this is going to be one hell of a good series. This particular book is about Larkin Ashford, a billionaire business woman considering making her business public when she starts to receive threats…very serious threats. It’s kind of hard to write about the plot of this book without giving spoilers, so I’m not going to go into the plot of the story. What I can say is that it’s a fantastic story. It has many humerous parts too as well as the intrigue and suspense. When Larkin and her girlfriends get together some of their conversation will make you laugh. No subject is off the table, these ladies will discuss anything! There is also a romantic element to the story too, with the elusive Calder Beckett coming into Larkin’s life. Not going to say too much about him except he’s the first man in a long time to get into Larkin’s head (and possibly heart). This is a must read novel and I really can’t wait to read more in this series. Worth more than 5 stars.

Music Man is the first book in the Romance in Rehoboth series by K.L. Montgomery. This is a series of stand-alone romance novels set in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware. Montgomery is an author I have read before, in fact I have read one of the other books in this series. I have thoroughly enjoyed the other books I have read by her and had high hopes for this one. I was not disappointed. This book is slightly different from many romance novels in that that our hero and heroine, Jack and Claire are already a couple. This book explores some of the difficulties that couples can face when one tries to follow their dream. Jack is a music teacher and enters a music competition (urged by Claire to do so) and is stunned when he wins. This leads to further competitions and then to him going on tour with some of the other contestants. This is what he’s always wanted to do. It’s his dream…or is it? Jack soon discovers that being away from his beloved girlfriend Claire and his adorable daughter is much harder then he though. Added to that, those running the tour are trying to make it look as if he’s having a relationship with one of the other artists. This puts a massive strain on his relationship. I really enjoyed reading this story. It flows really well and the characters are great. It has the addition of some really great secondary characters that add so much to the story. I enjoyed reading as Jack participated in the competitions, his excitement and nerves. All in all, this is a really sweet romance story with great characters that provides a very enjoyable read.

Hail Mary is a fantastic romantic thriller by Hope Anika. I had never read any of this author’s work before this book and I’m so glad that I chose to read it as it’s worth more than 5 stars in my humble opinion. The 2 main characters are absolutely brilliant. Wynn has had a rough upbringing and now runs a farm and a rundown boarding house. She’s one feisty woman I’d definitely not want to get on the wrong side of. She takes no prisoners and will fight to the death for those she loves. Beau is the new sheriff in town. A job he didn’t really want but was pushed into by his aunt. Beau is ex-military and DEA and has a lot of baggage from his past. He was badly injured and his wife was killed by someone Beau was investigating while working at the DEA. He’s moody, arrogant and a woman is the last thing on his mind. That is until a bank robbery leads him to Wynn’s boarding house and then a serial killer from the past comes back. So much for an easy job being a sheriff in a small town! The interaction between Wynn and Beau are actually hilarious. She does nothing to hide her distrust for the law and he gives back as good as he gets. What is fantastic about this book is the plot. The suspense and intrigue grabs you and does not let you go. At times you hold your breath and have to remind yourself to breathe again. Just when you start to think you might have it sussed out, the story twists and you find it going in a different direction. I have to say that I would never have sussed out who was the killer. You really have to give this book a try. It will not disappoint.

A Gentleman’s Stipulation is the 4th book in the Scarlet Salon Series by Jean Wilde. Each book in this series can be read as a standalone. I had not previously read any of the other books in this series before this one. In fact this was my first book by this author. I did not feel as if I was missing any necessary information to enjoy the book although I’d like to read some of the others now since I enjoyed this one very much. A Gentleman’s Stipulation is a regency romance novel with a good bit more steam than many other regency romances I’ve ever read. I though the author did a great job of setting the scene in regency England and I was drawn into the story from the very beginning. The story involves Lady Victoria Gilbert who is looking for a husband before she gets any older and is considered too old to marry and Blake Hall who is not looking for a bride yet. When a situation brings the 2 of them together Blake does the gentlemanly thing and announces Victoria as his fiancé. There are a few major problems: One, she doesn’t like him and two, he has a few stipulations to add to the deal. Can Victoria and Blake put aside the fact that Victoria doesn’t like or trust him? Can Victoria agree to the stipulations that Blake has added? I suggest you read this great book and find out for yourself. I guarantee that you won’t be disappointed. It’s a really great read.

Forbidden Desires: Taken by her Son’s Best Friend (Confessions of a Trophy Wife Book 1) By L.M. Mountford 5 out of 5 stars
The story Forbidden Desires: Taken by her Son’s Best Friend (Confessions of a Trophy Wife Book 1) by L.M. Mountford is a steamy older woman/younger man story. It has plenty of passion and desire. In the story, you are introduced to Elizabeth Clarke who seems to have a perfect life. Looks however can be deceiving. She feels trapped. She also finds herself interested in Hugh Becket. High is Elizabeth’s sons’ best friend, forbidden. Read this book to find out what happens. The story kept my interest all the way through. It is a short tale that pulled me in, and I found myself reading it all in one sitting. I loved the characters of Elizabeth and Hugh. I found myself wanting to know more about them. I would recommend reading this book.

Romance in Rehoboth Boxed Set (Books 4-6): A Small Town Romantic Comedy Series By K.L. Montgomery 5 out of 5 stars
The stories in Romance in Rehoboth Boxed Set (Books 4-6): A Small Town Romantic Comedy Series by K.L. Montgomery are books that I loved reading. They have amazing storylines and characters that come alive as you are reading. I love the back and forth banter that occurs between the main characters as well as their interactions between the other characters in the stories. These books are romantic and had my emotions going up and down. I felt like I was right there with the characters and I found myself caring about what happens to them, always hoping that they find happiness. Will Chris and Brynne, Jason and Hannah, as well as Larissa and Mateo all find their happy ever after? Read these books to find out. There are times when reading that I would be laughing out loud at what happens and there are also heartwarming moments. I was always wondering what was going to happen next. Don’t miss out on three amazing stories in this incredible series. I highly recommend them.

This is not my first book by this author but it is my favorite. This author is fast becoming one of my go to author’s when I am looking for something steamy. This is a well written story that has characters that brought the story to life. They bring forbidden romance and steam. Elizabeth had it all except for a cheating husband. Just when she thought she would never get rid of her caged up feeling her son’s best friend comes back to town. Problem is that he is forbidden but will she be able to stay away from this hot, steamy, sexy guy? This is a shorter story that will heat up any night. It is a fast paced, engaging story that I couldn’t put down and read it in one sitting. I highly recommend this book and this author.

In this book, we find Lady Victoria Gilbert who is battling her heart and mind, her needs and her desires, but which will she choose? She’s not gonna settle for the detestable Mr. Blake Hall nonetheless. Heir to a million dollar throne, doesn’t have a desire to settle down. After being turned down, he’s given up on trying to impress the likes of the debutantes in London’s high society. Lady Victoria is a spitfire for Mr. Blake Hall who seems smitten with all she has to offer. The two are thrown together by unexpected circumstances as their unlikely union shapes and throws them together. Embark on this cynical and steamy that will definitely be a page-turner! You won’t regret it.

Gilmore – Review by Faith Jackson
The intrigue and mystery of this one will catch you by your bootstraps and keep you hooked from the beginning. Miri’s grandma has passed but she died with a secret. After such a heartbreaking blow, she’s left alone and isolated in a boarding school in a new state. Miri discovers she’s special in a very magical way when bullied at school that her grandma’s secret didn’t die with her after all. Miri is caught between the balance of her powers: Does she save herself and can she save her family as well? The more she learns about these strange, magical powers by a few select others, the family’s history comes alive. This opens up the world to a completely different type of danger. In the first of this series, we meet and go into the adventures of the Partnership for Animagi, Werewolves and Shapeshifters, better known as P.A.W.S. of St. Louis. Twisted, this book is, but in the best way: Almost like a guilty pleasure. Page-turner cause you’ll be craving for a new chapter after chapter. Wonderful characters who you can’t help but love from the way they’re special powers are connected to their stories is exciting to bring you more into the book. The world-building is incredible in this one! Easy read because you’ll be craving for more of the adventures these guys take us on.

Adorable character, Kally Andarakis sweeps us off our feet as she’s heavily indebted in her cafe business, The Coffee Klatch. Kally never believed she deserved love or the happiness it brings. That is until she meets an addictive stranger who is above her means but he comes with challenges. Kally is heartbroken and ill-trusting after some secrets are revealed during a misadventure. Eight years down line, we find Kally living the life as it is as perfect as she’s always dreamed of.

Kally is also trying to solve the mystery of what happened to her grandfather while balancing Max is a whole other story. In this book we find out if Kally is to take another risk (all for love) or shut it down as she’s done in the past. I enjoyed reading this one. So many unexpected and unpredictable turns. Kally’s life is as unpredictable as ours is in reality. Juicy read. Another page-turner. I may have to re-read it!

I found myself fascinated with the first book of this series so I decided to read Book 2 of the Dylan Hart series. Now, I’m officially addicted. The mysteries that this guy has will keep you on the edge of your seat as you read cover to cover. A former associate invites Dylan to New Orleans. Dylan makes a new enemy. New details emerge as she’s in for the conflict of her life is only starting. I love the mystery in which this author keeps you hooked. The first book was a classic and this one will leave you believing this one is a masterpiece. Chapter after chapter, you’re in for the ride of your life! You won’t be sorry you picked up this series.

What I love about this book is it teaches us something we should all carry with us no matter who or what we are. I love books that hold values and morals as a storyline. Cheesy, I know but I love it. Alex Charalambides does this perfectly in this tale which is one for the ages. The book draws you in with Excalibur, who is always on a search, has one question for the universe, “When Fate calls, will you answer?” but calls across the eras for a notable hand until a distrustful American student is selected. Lance, a prideful young man, is ready to assume his destiny and step out on faith. Lance is on for a wild ride into the supernatural world below modern London, his sword begins to speak as the inner champion roars deeper. Caught in a battle within mystical families, Lance faces the conclusive question of: Does he rule the sword or is it the other way around? This book is an instant classic with the storytelling technique that Alex Charalambides writes this story. Grab this one and you won’t regret it!

I’ve enjoyed this young adult genre more than most teens I know or young adults. In this futuristic mystery, we go into the world of Icon City, a haven for one percenters. You instantly fall in love with the characters, especially the main character who has a powerful personality which is set to inspire the readers. She’s fully aware of her personality which brings her great strengths in a lot of ways plus she’s aware of her surroundings and how it affects her. In this fantasy, she used to be a “normal” 17-year-old girl until her dad found out she had superpowers and shipped her off to a famous school for powered people of the world — Hero High. At Hero High, she lives in the SuperStructure where cameras follow her every move. People with powers have just as many expectations on them as humans do with the pressures they succumb themselves to. Through this she’s making money for the family and she’s starting to see the place for what it is. She is us as we’re along for the ride with her as she takes on the role of hero as she attempts to discover the identity of an unknown villain and their intentions with the school. She’s a selfless hero in for the ride no matter the consequences. Great adventure with mysteries. Fun read full of action-packed pages full of unpredictable twists and turns. Very fun to get through.

I have read quite a few books by this author now and what always has me coming back to her is her beautifully detailed writing. Her stories have such a lovely flow to them that are a real pleasure to read. I didn’t even bother reading the blurb when I decided to read this book; the title caught my eye straight away. Love is What You Bake of it was a wonderful romance read. I loved the characters Kally and Max (aka Officer Hot Buns) they were great to read about and both really relatable. The book kind of reminded me of one of my favourite films with the Greek family parts – there were some very entertaining secondary characters. There were some very funny moments in this story and I absolutely loved every minute of it. I think this is definitely my favourite book by this author so far! I look forward to more from her again in the future!!

I do sometimes read YA novels but they are usually of the romance type so when I saw the blurb for this one I was intrigued, it sounded like it might be a different kind of read and it absolutely was. It was such a powerful read and the author explored so many different situations/topics that can affect young adults and coming of age. I was really impressed by the authors writing, the flow of the story was really good and my interest was kept from beginning to end. I really felt for Anne, she had so much to overcome in her life, there were moments when my heart broke for her. There was a danger the author could have fallen into a stereotypical story with some of the things the character went through but I felt she really planned and thought about the path in which her characters would take. Anne was in my opinion a well written, powerful and emotional read and one that I would highly recommend!
This was a fantastic read! I love a good romantic suspense story and I have read books by this author before so when I saw this one I knew I had to grab it! Once I started the first page I knew it was going to be a good read and I was not wrong – I was hooked from the very first page until the end. I loved Beau and Wynn – they were both fantastic characters. I really felt for Beau and the author did a great job with his character, he was miserable and grumpy on the outside but underneath was something different. Wynn was great to read about – she was headstrong and full of sass! She was so entertaining. The tension between the two characters was so much fun to read about and it made me want them to end up together all the more! Along with Beau and Wynn there were some amazing secondary characters that really added something extra to the story. I 100% recommend Hail Mary and I look forward to reading more from this author again in the future!

Music Man was yet again another wonderful read from this author! I always fall in love with her stories so easily because they just feel so real. The characters are easy to connect with and Ms Montgomery writes about them in such a way that they do come alive on the page. I loved the characters Jack and Claire, they were relatable and I was really rooting for them the whole way through. I love reading about older characters, it definitely makes them more relatable to me as a reader. I really loved Claire! I thought she was an awesome character; one of those that you really wish was real because you just know they would make an awesome friend! The inner dialogue really made me feel like I knew her personally! Music Man was a fantastic read and I 100% recommend it! I cannot wait to read more from this series!

Yet again another wonderfully detailed and creative book from this author! I have really enjoyed the series so far so was looking forward to the newest instalment and I wasn’t disappointed at all. Fingin’s story was really fun and interesting to read – I thought I knew what was going to happen but there were some nice twists in the story which kept me hooked from beginning to end. I loved the adventure and magic in the story I was easily lost in what I was reading. The authors writing never fails to transport me in to the world in which she is writing about – fantastic world and character building! Lovers of fantasy reads will not go wrong by reading this book and the series! I highly recommend this vividly detailed read to everybody!

Oohhhh I love a good sports romance so when I noticed this book by an author whose work I really enjoy I couldn’t wait to get started and I wasn’t disappointed at all! It was full of sass, romance and lot of spiciness!! This story definitely had me laughing my way through it! The banter between Roy and Patience certainly kept me entertained from beginning to end; they definitely knew how to rub each other up the wrong way!! Right from the very beginning they just didn’t get on but it didn’t take long to see that there was going to be something there between them – I know I was rooting for them the whole way through! I am really looking forward to reading more from this author in the future – she has a wonderful writing style that makes her books a real pleasure to read! I definitely recommend The Player!!

Fantasy isn’t a genre I typically read but the blurb kind of jumped out at me so I decided to give the book a go and I really enjoyed it. It was nice to go into a story without any real expectations, I didn’t know whether it would enjoy it or not – but I am glad that I decided to read it. I really enjoyed the authors writing, I found I was easily drawn in to what I was reading – the world building I found to be particularly good! Detailed and vivid! The characters were so different to what I usually read and I really enjoyed their uniqueness – I could tell the author had spent a lot of time planning their development and how they would evolve over the story! I would definitely recommend this book and I am definitely looking forward to reading more from the author again in the future!

This is the second book that I have read by this author and again it was another great read. The genre of this story isn’t one of my favourites but I love finding new authors and I enjoyed the first book in the series so thought I would give the second one a try. I can see an improvement in the authors writing as well (not that his debut novel was bad it definitely wasn’t) but as with most authors the more they write improvements are noticed! I loved the detailed writing of the setting of the story it really enabled me to imagine what was happening in the story. The characters were really well developed and I really liked the relationship that they had between them, they were all really relatable in my opinion. The rich and complex storyline kept my interest throughout! Overall I thought that this was a wonderful read and a great addition to the series! I will definitely be looking out for more from this author in the future!

I think I probably say it every time that I read a new book by this author but this is definitely my favourite by her so far! I was hooked from beginning to end and I honestly could not turn the pages fast enough! The action starts straight away in this fantastic romantic suspense story! I loved the characters Keegan and Kara! The sparks between these two as well as the danger and action unfolding in their surroundings of Venezuela made for one very exciting read! Marked for Death could be read as a standalone but I absolutely would recommend reading the series in order just to fully understand the dynamics of the secondary characters. Apart from the amazing characters this author creates I just totally love her writing, it’s exciting and captivates me from the first word. I would 100% recommend Marked for Death and anything written by this wonderful author!

I find books by this author so difficult to review now because I always write the same thing but that’s because every single one of her stories is just so wonderful to read. They are always different, they explore different things and I always feel like I have learnt and take something away with me from her stories once I have finished reading them. I loved the blurb for this book it was so vague that it really felt like I was going into this story blind but as usual what I got from Ms Alexander was a wonderful main character in Abby and getting to read about her life as she navigates coming of age. I loved reading about Abby in previous stories so to now get her own book was really special, I feel like I really know her as a person. This book could be read as a standalone but I would highly recommend the Mountains series from the beginning!

Wow – just wow! I’m honestly not quite sure where to even begin with this review – this has to be hands down – the best read of 2020 and in fact one of my favourite reads ever. I don’t think I can even find the words to do this book justice! I have read all of the books this author has written and she is one of my all-time favourite authors so I already knew I was going to love it – I’m not sure that I was prepared for just how amazing it was going to be. My emotions were all over the place with this book (I’m not even sure I can blame post pregnancy hormones now seeing’s as the baby is almost 5 months old!) I laughed and I cried, I didn’t know how I would feel from one [age to the next. The characters Cade and Winter were amazing! Cade – yep totally in love with him and I may even have a woman crush on Winter! I loved the two of them together – electric and passion galore! Cade is a raw emotional read and one that will stay with me for a while – in fact it’s one I cannot wait to read all over again! I 100% recommend you one click this story today!!
This is quite an adventure. Filled with wizards, Magic and Excalibur is a retelling of a classic. While the story drew me in I struggled with the timeline of the characters. It is confusing to me and makes the story not flow very smoothly. Causing me to lose interest at times. I plugged on and the story does pick up near the end. The main character held my interest and wondering what would happen to him and the sword. There are few secondary characters who I liked and others not so much.

I give P.A.W.S. (The P.A.W.S. Saga Book 1) by Debbie Manber Kupfer, 5 stars.
I will admit, I was recommended this book by the author a couple years ago as something I may like in an event, purchased it, then unfortunately forgot about. My TBR list is huge and I can stop buying. Anyway, I finally got the opportunity to read it and I can’t believe I waited so long. I would say this is a teen book, but as an adult, I enjoyed it immensely. As a cat lover, this is what drew me in and I really like Miri as a main character. She feels alone and not quite understood, but she learns more about herself and steps up when she needs to. It does have a feel of being inspired by the Harry Potter books, but the author makes it her own in the types of characters and the world she creates. There are so many other characters I am dying to learn more of as the series goes on. Then there is the story itself. Miri feels like an outcast and all alone. Most people, especially teenagers, can relate to this. She is finally able to find a place she feels more comfortable, but events happen that do not make it as easy as it seems.
If you like a world of magic and fantastic creatures and people in a young adult/teenage age group, this book is for you.

“…I refuse to be roped into a marriage of convenience. I want a passionate woman in my bed, not some cold fish who’ll only tolerate my presence out of a sense of duty and to beget me sons.” She wondered if he was aware that he’d just described how most marriages of the ton worked. Love matches were a rare occurrence in high society, as was fidelity. …Victoria, however, couldn’t imagine accepting such a fate. For once, she and Mr. Hall were in agreement. As unfashionable and middle-class as it was, Victoria wanted a love match. And while beggars couldn’t be choosers, surely she could find a man who shared her views. Present company excluded, of course. Just because she wanted to kiss the man didn’t mean she wanted to be married to him. She didn’t relish the thought of trading barbs and arguing with him for longer than his planned visit.”
A Gentleman’s Stipulation is the fourth book in The Scarlet Salon seriesby Jean Wilde. This is my first read by Ms. Wilde, and as you have probably noticed, I have come into this series a little backwards, starting on book #4 first. When this book caught my eye, I immediately read the blurb and was quite intrigued by what the story could hold. It has been a while since I have read a regency romance, so I thought this would make a great change of pace from what I had been reading of late. I hadn’t noticed it was the fourth book in the series, but as I discovered, it can definitely be read as a standalone. Having said that though, I really enjoyed the story and will certainly be going back to read the other books in this series, too- as well as exploring Ms. Wilde’s other work/s. This is a really great historical/regency romance- it’s an enemies to lovers tale, full of drama, banter, spice, intrigue, chemistry, tension, and romance. Ms. Wilde may be a new-to-me author, but I am more than happy to have just discovered her work- as she certainly knows how to tell a cleverly woven and captivating story. Lady Victoria Gilbert is 24 and has gotten to the point where she will soon be considered as an ‘old maid’. She really needs a husband and dreams of having a home and family of her own. But she has a bit of a barbed tongue, a mind of her own, and a stubborn independent streak- which hasn’t stood in her favour. Her chances of finding a suitor are becoming slimmer by the day. Blake Hall is the wealthy son of a Mill tycoon- he has material wealth, but no title- which has set him apart from London’s High Society. He can’t stand the simpering young debutantes, he would rather a woman who would challenge him. So, you would think that when he meets Lady Victoria, it would be love at first sight. But instead, they completely rub each other the wrong way. Although I think they secretly enjoyed the verbal sparring. But what happens when they are caught in a compromising situation? All the answers you need are waiting to be discovered between the covers of “A Gentleman’s Stipulation”. Ms. Wilde has crafted her story really well- adding rich, vibrant, and authentic historical details. Her storytelling really draws you into her ‘world’ and she easily captures her readers attention. I was immersed in the story, staying engaged right through to the end. The characters are really well developed with their own unique personalities. And even though they both annoyed/frustrated me at times throughout the story- I couldn’t help but like them and was rooting for them right from the beginning. I am looking forward to exploring the rest of the series now!

A Gentleman’s Stipulation (The Scarlet Salon, #4) by Jean Wilde was a good 4 star read. I was pulled in right from the beginning. This is Lady Victoria and Blake’s story.
Victoria is 24 and really wants a husband and family, at her age she is considered a spinster. Then she meets Blake at a party, he’s the son of a tycoon and let’s just say there wasn’t any love lost between them. This is a good love and hate story but you could feel the attraction between them. While at another party something happens that unexpectedly brings them together and they have to marry.
Can these two put their hate aside and actually find love? Will they make it to the altar?
Overall I enjoyed this book. I really liked Victoria, she is a strong character who isn’t afraid to say what’s on her mind. Blake has been hurt in the past and is very cautious. The bantering between these two was great. I look forward to reading more from this author and series. 1-click and get started today.
