A Sun So Bright (Reigning Hearts Book Three) by KG Fletcher – Review by Shani Kenny

A Sun So Bright (Reigning Hearts, #3)A Sun So Bright by K.G. Fletcher
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Fiona is a woman who has put her personal life on hold a little after so many disastrous meetings with the opposite sex. Because she’s a woman who hardly has to worry about making ends meet, it makes it harder to meet someone genuine and interested in her as a person rather than the dollar signs that follow her. It’s hard being someone in so many spotlights and be unattached. She needs a buffer for those events, someone she can lean on to get her through some of it. In reality, she needs a compatible relationship. Even if it’s a forced and fake one.

Chris works hard for what he has and isn’t afraid of the challenges that arise in his personal life. He knows that in order to get where he wants in life, he has to work hard and play less. For him, working as a bartender helps to build his dream of rehabbing his home and making it special for years to come. In a bold move, Fiona offers him an opportunity of a lifetime that will help him get closer to that goal. Be her fake fiance and help ward off the lecherous advances of others as well as keep her company.

But it’s not long before their fake relationship starts to turn into a real one and their love affair becomes a complicated one that leaves them both questioning what they’re doing. For the first time in her life, Fiona is shown what it’s like to have a real love and be on the receiving end to sincere affection. For Chris, he’s pulled back the curtain and seen beyond the persona that Fiona has built around her. For the first time in his life, he allows himself to feel a little more and give in to the pull of their emotional journey.

I love a good fake to real fiance/partner story!!! I loved this one as there were so many raw and real feelings. Oh man, the feels! Fiona may have started off for me as a meh type character but she quickly evolved into one that I loved reading about while she got her happily ever after. This was an awesome, emotional, entertaining, and steamy read.

BELOVED (21st Century Courtesan Book #3) by Pamela DuMond – Review by Jessica Leombruno

BELOVED (21st Century Courtesan, #3)BELOVED by Pamela DuMond
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Beloved is the third book in the 21st Century Courtesan series by Pamela DuMond. This series must be read in order to get a full understanding of past and present events.

Evie’s first love from when she was a teenager comes back into her life and everything might be changing. It’s more than just the first boy its also his brother who just bought the company she works for and her boyfriend who is ready for the next step in their relationship but is it for the right reasons. And let’s not forget about “The Devoted Fan” writing letters throughout the book, but the last letter has me wanting the final book ASAP.

Pamela’s writing is so good between all the “bedroom” times and the heartbreaking moments, my feelings were all over the place.

Second Chance: The Conclusion of the Flowers in December Trilogy
by Jane Suen

This was such a sweet romantic second chance book. I loved how the story went back in time at points so that we could understand Mary Ann better and even Connor’s relationship with his mother. This book took me on an emotional rollercoaster. This was the perfect end to a wonderful trilogy. I was rooting for these two the entire time, they both deserve to find happiness. I am sad to see this series come to an end, but I can’t wait to see what this author has in store for us next. I highly recommend this book.

The Fat Girl’s Guide to Loving Your Body by K.L. Montgomery

5 out of 5 stars

The Fat Girls Guide to loving your body by K.L. Montgomery is a great story that contains one-part humor, one-part journal, one-part recipe for self-love. Mix it all together, and you’ll come out the other side with a greater appreciation for both what’s on the outside AND what’s on the inside.

I have to say I was always skinny until I had my first child 29 years ago and I have had a problem with my weight ever since. I also have medical issues that seem to stop me from losing the weight especially when the doctors prescribe meds that make you gain weight So, this book really hit it dead on even if I didn’t care about body-shamers. I loved how the author talks to you as a friend and helps you with body positive knowledge that knocked it out of the ball-park.

This was a great book and I simply enjoy reading Ms. Montgomery’s work and look forward to more of her books….

Second Chance by Jane Suen a five-star read that will bring flowers to your life. This is the third and concluding novel in the Flowers in December Trilogy, they could maybe be read as stand-alone, but I have read them as a series and so enjoyed them that way, as this is like the cake topper, its so lovely on its own, but as a whole it just brings the whole thing up. The emotions you will see in this story are so strong that they are palpable, you can almost taste the emotion. This is a compelling story and shows us what a truly amazing writer Jane Suen is.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Another wonderful story by Manda Mellett! These characters are evolving with every book she writes. This one Involves Ink and we met Beth in the last book. She is friends with Mel. Beth is a shy girl who is unusually tall for a female. She has found ways to cope hence the blue hair. She knows what she wants and goes after him. Then something happens and she is not sure her relationship with Ink will ever be the same.

This is enjoyable and easily kept my interest. The story took me on a few ups and downs and is very unsuspecting. I love it when stuff surprises me and this story did it. As usual I love these stories and I can’t wait for the next one. Not sure who it will be about….maybe Lizard or Mace?

Also I want to say I love this cover! It goes perfectly with this story!

The Fat Girl’s Guide to Loving Your Body
By K.L. Montgomery. This book completely captured my heart. I’ve always had body issues and this book just felt written just for me. Now I’m a person who tends to not love myself or my body and this book really spoke some hard facts. I’d agree with some of the reviews out there, this book is for everyone no matter what your body type is or the reasons you don’t like about yourself. This book is an inspirational journey. I’m already a fan of this author and while it’s a bit different from previous works it’s just as amazing. I can see the thought put into this project and I appreciate the effort that was made because it’s truly incredible. If I could give more stars I would but I’ll give five of the biggest stars I can find.

Jake Wolfe Series Bundle Box Set (Jake Wolfe #1-3)Jake Wolfe Series Bundle Box Set by Mark Nolan
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

5 Stars

This is such a great series, really well written, clever, and completely absorbing. You can’t go wrong with a Mark Nolan novel and with this bundle you get three books for the price of one. Brilliant!

BOOK #1:
5 Stars

Dead Lawyers Don’t Lie is a riveting novel by Mark Nolan. Mr. Nolan has produced a truly gripping and action packed, suspenseful thriller. This exciting book has so much going on within its pages that I was bowled over, in a very good way! It contains drama, suspense, a bit of mystery, police investigation procedures, crime/criminal activities, military tactics/terminology and flashbacks, news and photo journalism references, secret organisations, sexy women, vile villains- and so much more.
It is quite a long book, but it is so engrossing, I was completely wrapped up in the story; only putting it down to take care of my ‘real life’ responsibilities- and even then, I couldn’t stop thinking about the story and anticipating what would happen next.
Jake Wolfe is a military veteran who is currently working as a photo journalist for a local news channel. He was following a lead on a potential story that had him ‘tailing’ a well-known lawyer, in the hope of digging up some ‘dirt’ on him. The lawyer has driven to an exclusive golf club, where Jake is witness to the lawyers’ murder, capturing the whole thing on camera and in the process he gets an image of the killer on film.
The killer who is known as ‘The Artist’ doesn’t like to leave loose ends and when he realises he has been seen, he is determined to kill Jake, “the only good witness is a dead witness”. So ensues a ‘game of cat and mouse’, the killer is hell bent on tracking down Jake and silencing him, permanently!
He has a kill list to work through- it’s made up of several lawyers who have been chosen to die. He takes pride in his work and wants to make the kills creative, artistic and memorable. The annoying journalist has just made it onto the list and is going to die very painfully.
With the help of his best friend Terrell Hayes, a plain clothes Police Inspector in the homicide division of the San Francisco Police Department- Jake investigates and reports on the killings, while also trying to stay alive. His military training, his dog Cody and a bit of Irish luck, are the only things that stand between him and the killer. But the killer is meticulous, well planned and always seems to be able to evade capture.
When you add an abusive and unhinged ex-fiancée, with a drinking problem and a penchant for snorting drugs; a sociopathic police Officer who uses their badge to bully, who can’t stand the sight of Jake and has a score to settle with him; a secret organisation with its own agenda; and an ex-military service dog with canine P.T.S.D- you find the story just ignites into an adrenaline inducing journey, full of unexpected twists and turns that had me on the edge of my seat, devouring every word with bated breath.
From the conceptualization, to the skilled execution in recounting his story, Mr. Nolan has managed to incorporate quite a lot into this book; such a lot of dynamic, individual and fully developed characters and plenty of action- and this is only a portion of what this exceptional storyteller has been able to capture on the pages. He has accomplished all this in his own, unique style- producing a story that flows smoothly and seamlessly from one page to the next and captivating you from the first paragraph.
I wouldn’t change a thing about this book; I loved it all so much! It is a truly remarkable story and I wholeheartedly recommend reading it, you won’t be disappointed.

Book #2:
5 Stars

Vigilante Assassin is the superb second addition to the Jake Wolfe series by Mark Nolan. It is a very memorable, gripping and suspenseful read. This is a multidimensional story- with lots of action, drama, intensity and danger.
We once again team up with former marine Jake Wolfe and follow his lead, as this incredible story plays out. It is set a little over a month since the last story left off. Jake is no longer working at the news channel as a photojournalist- he isn’t completely sure what he wants to do now. He has something in the pipeline, but needs to wait to see if it will pan out. He is living on his friend’s boat, with his canine companion, Cody.
Lauren Stephens wakes to discover her husband is missing- with no trace of him to be found. Jake gets hired to try to find her husband Gene- but what he and Cody discover leads them down a dangerous and complicated path, full of intensely dangerous situations, all while they try to figure it all out. Lauren may not have known her husband as well as she thought she did and now she and her children are in grave danger. Jake may be a magnet for trouble, but he is also incredibly protective, especially of women, children and animals. So, he will do everything he can to protect them and keep her and the children out of danger.
This is a fast paced and exciting read with lots of twists and surprising developments. This is such an absorbing read, I ended up reading it in one sitting because I couldn’t put it down, I really need to know how the whole story played out!
The story is told from several (third person) POV’s, which adds an extra dynamic to the whole story.
The characters are so great- they are completely developed, fully realised characters with their own quirks, flaws and unique personalities. I especially loved how detailed and developed Cody’s (the dog) personality was- it’s this attention to detail that really sets this book apart from others in the same genre!

Book #3:
5 Stars

Killer Lawyer is the latest addition to the Jake Wolfe series by Mark Nolan. It is an incredibly clever, intense, gripping and suspenseful read. This has a complex, multi-layered storyline- with lots of action, drama, intrigue, humour, danger, tension, and mystery.
We once again team up with former marine Jake Wolfe and follow his lead, as all the excitement unfolds. Jake has earned his law degree, and has also been recruited to undertake dangerous, covert assignments on behalf of the government. His constant companion- trusty, highly intelligent, and loyal ex-war dog, Cody, live on a motor yacht owned by a wealthy friend.
When a deranged killer starts killing random targets on the streets on San Francisco, Jake and Cody are determined to hunt him down and eliminate the threat. But what happens when the killer decides to target Jake, Cody and all the people they love most in the world? This book really is worth the read to find out all the exciting details for yourself.
It is a fast paced story with lots of twists and surprising developments. This is such an absorbing read, I ended up reading it in one sitting because I couldn’t put it down, I really need to know how the whole story played out!
The story is told from multiple POV’s ( even Cody the dog gets a say), which gives a well-rounded perspective of the developments, and adds an extra dynamic to the whole story.

So, if you are looking for a story with a gripping, well written, interesting, and very absorbing read- then this is definitely the series for you!
The next book/s can’t come soon enough for me!

Thank you, Mr. Nolan!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The Fat Girl’s Guide to Loving Your Body by K.L. Montgomery was an inspiring and emotional read. I did not know that I needed to read this book as much as I did. I started the book because the last few months I have been on this journey of self discovery and the next step seemed to be self care in regards to my body. I enjoyed all of the references and information embedded in the book. The humor throughout was a welcome relief, there are so many self help books that are just fluffy or don’t come across as genuine as this book does. I definitely want to spend the next year doing the journal entries. I did not do them the first time around because I could tell from the beginning that I needed to read this book and get the big picture before I started dissecting myself. This will become a welcome reread time and time again not just for the journal entries but for the reminders of the impact that our everyday lives have on our mental state.

The Fat Girl’s Guide to Loving Your Body is completely different from anything that K.L. Montgomery has written before but it’s most certainly a message that hits home. It’s also the best book I have picked up since the new year has started. This is a book to teach us to love our bodies whether we’re fat, skinny, or somewhere in-between. Women are the most self conscience about their appearance and this book tells you to embrace you and your body. I am now fully aware about what I say about myself in front of my children because they are watching. There aren’t enough words to describe how much I loved this book and the message that it gives.

Everyone needs to add this to their one-click list!

Dagda’s Daughter, Raven and Hummingbird Book Two by Nikki Broadwell is truly a story about a very dysfunctional family. Who doesn’t have one of those? This is a story about betrayal, discovery, recovery, and love. So much in this one. There are a few steamy scenes but nothing that distracts from the story line. This was a nice little story that stood alone although it is book two of a three book series. I will certainly be reading the next one too.

Kermode: Legends Series Book 2 by Maggie Adams is a rollicking little tale. Pure entertainment. If you are looking for a little light reading this is brain candy. A just reward for all those serious books. Imagine someone tells you that you are the big lottery winner, and you never bought a ticket. That’s the situation Piper Sweet finds herself in. Noah, just an innocent looking for some troublemakers walks into her shop and doesn’t even know what hit him. Reader be aware, there are some steamy situations that some may find uncomfortable. This is a nice little read that can be read as a standalone, but why miss the big picture.

I must confess, the first two books in this Maggie Trilogy was so good, that I set aside a whole block of time so that I could sit and read this third book: Lillie by Mya O’Malley. And let me tell you it was not a disappointment. Since the first two were so good I thought surely this one had to be just as good. To tell you the truth it was even better. By book three you are so invested in these characters you are spellbound. Everything that Naomi has done and achieved due to her special gift she now stands to lose. Naomi is strong and has faith. This was truly a good book.

Second Chance (The Flowers in December Trilogy, book 3) by Jane Suen – Review by Rosanna Ingram

Second Chance (Flowers in December #3)Second Chance by Jane Suen
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the third book in the Flowers in December Trilogy. However, having not read the first two, I found this book to be easy to pick up and read and get the idea of what happened in the past. That being said, I am going to pick up the first two books and read those because I want to know what exactly occurred that brought them to this book.

In this book, Connor has returned to live in the mountain community where he grew up. There, he encounters Mary Ann again. After meeting Mary Ann months prior when she arranged the flowers for his mother’s funeral, Connor thought he had lost his chance with Mary Ann when he returned to the city for work after burying his mother. Mary Ann still feels anger when she thinks about how the way things ended with Connor after he left. She tried to get over him by going out with someone else, but she soon realized that her new relationship was not what she wanted. Seeing Connor again has stirred up those feelings of hurt and anger, along with some feelings of wanting to know where they could go but being afraid to open herself up to hurt again. A storm on the mountain provides a couple of situations for Connor and Mary Ann to talk about what happened and figure out if they have a chance of moving forward.

This was a quick read for me. The chapters moved quickly, and I found myself at the conclusion of the story before I knew it. The story felt real because it was about two people conquering the problems that occur in real relationships. Like I mentioned before, I am going to go back and read the previous books in the series because I would like more of the backstory. However, this book can be read as a standalone and provides a good story to lose yourself in.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The Fat Girl’s Guide to Loving Your Body by K.L. Montgomery is an inspiring book written in hopes of making readers come to see worth and value in the body they live in. I feel as if seeing your body in a positive manner is really important. It is so easy to go down the rabbit hole of depression and self-loathing while picking apart all the things that you see wrong with yourself. I like that this book is motivational and encouraging. I found it easy to relate too because of the personal experiences throughout the whole book. I love this author’s style of writing and I found myself giggling out loud several times. I have always loved to journal, it has always been therapeutic for me. Throughout this book there is journaling assignments, they may seem silly at first, some may be hard to do… but do them. They help so much. I will say that there were parts of the book that were slow and I struggled to keep interest, but those were far and few between. At the end of the book I’m not going to say “oh yea I LOVE MY BODY” but just like Montgomery said… it is a long process, it isn’t going to happen overnight. I will continue to work on my body image and one day I’ll get to where I’m going.

After I started the book I realized I needed to read it at a slower pace so that I didn’t miss anything. I quickly became hooked on this book and I am so glad I chose to read it.

Game of FearGame of Fear by Glede Browne Kabongo
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I must admit right off the bat, I had no idea what I was going to be getting myself into with Game of Fear. I have never read anything by this author before, but I knew that I wanted to find out what this book was all about the moment I read the title and saw the cover. I was immediately hooked on the idea of a twisty psychological thriller and plunged right into the book head first.

It was a quick read with a rather predictable and typical mystery of someone is out to make our main character, Abbie Cooper, crazy when she receives a note and threat of “I know what you did.” Since the idea isn’t necessarily original I look for the book to be fantabulous in other ways like am I sitting on the edge of my seat? I was happy that for the most part this book kept me on the edge and reading right up until the end to figure things out. It was fast paced and I wasn’t bored. I am excited to see there will be more books available soon. I will be back for more to see what could come of it.

This book was a joy to read, I absolutely loved it! I love Ms Montgomery anyway she is one of my favourite authors and I have read many of her books but this one was different in that it was like delving into someone else’s life who you have never met personally and thinking about how much you actually have in common. There were things in this book that I have probably said and felt on a daily basis. I loved the way the authors amazing writing style came across even in something that is so different to her normal books – I am so glad I chose to start my 2020 reading journey with this one! There were definitely some great inspirational quotes in this book that I will use from now on!
I 100% recommend this book – it really is a brilliant read and definitely not one you will be disappointed with!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I sincerely and entirely am in love with these Fallen Eagles MC books from T. Birmingham. Everything from the gorgeous covers that we are given with each of the books, to the tragic and epic stories that lie behind the beautiful covers is absolute perfection. I have felt every emotion I can name with a word while reading these books, and frankly T. Birmingham has become one of my favorite contemporary romance authors. I have to have more and soon, these books build up an addiction that runs through your mind when you aren’t submersed in the world that has been created by Birmingham.

I absolutely cannot say enough good about this book, and won’t divulge much more details than a quick review because I can’t bear to spoil one moment of the story for future readers. I would highly recommend that you read the first two books in the series before picking up this one to get into the story of Spring. There are repeating characters, and lots of background and build up that will make the story that much more enjoyable and easy to read as you go if you do so in order.

Spring’s story is one that will make you feel the absolute despair of her depression and yet you will fall back in love with the idea of love and all that it can heal if it is with the right person. Watching her pick herself up from rock bottom and the interaction that she has and the support that she has from Casper is a beautiful thing to read and follow and I can’t wait to read it all over again someday soon. I am dying for the next book and whatever else we might get from T. Birmingham soon! Grab your tissues and happy reading!

Second Chance (Flowers in December #3)Second Chance by Jane Suen
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Jane Suen’s The Flowers in December Trilogy has been some of my favorite contemporary romance novels that I have read as of late. I enjoy how she manages to hook be deep into the story before I even finish the first few pages of a book she has penned. I loved Second Chance, the third and final book in the series, the most out of all of them. This book really closed the trilogy in a perfect and beautiful way that I just could not get enough of.

I would recommend that you read the first two novels prior to this one if you haven’t. I feel this series has evolved in both writing strength and the characters themselves. I suppose if you really wanted you could read them as stand alones though. This one brings us the conclusion of Connor’s story. He is our main character and really has changed so much from the very first book we read him in. I have probably just fallen in love with his character more and I never thought that was possible after book two. I look forward to finding out what will come next from the ever talented Jane Suen.

Jake Wolfe Series Bundle Box Set: (Books 1-2-3) Vigilante Justice Thriller Series
By Mark Nolan
5 out of 5 stars

This is an amazing boxset. It includes three books that once you start reading are very hard to put down. I enjoyed reading about the characters of Jake Wolfe and his war dog Cody. Jake is a man who is resourceful and has been well trained as an assassin. In these stories, he finds himself a target by killers and helping a woman and her children when they are targeted by criminals. I enjoyed that his war dog Cody also assists him. Cody is a dog that is very intelligent, and I loved reading about him. What does the future hold for Jake and Cody? Read these books to find out. These stories had me on the edge of my seat wondering what will happen next. There is action and danger around every corner. Jake is someone who is intelligent and when challenged or becomes a target is not hesitant about breaking the rules in order to survive. I also enjoyed reading about the characters that help and interact with Jake. The books are very detailed, and I felt like I was right there with Jake and Cody. Don’t miss out on a box set that is thrilling and addictive. Highly recommended.

The Fat Girl’s Guide to Loving Your Body by K.L. Montgomery – Review by Erica Fish

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The Fat Girl’s Guide to Loving Your Body by K.L. Montgomery is a great story. I have read K.L. Montgomery before and have enjoyed them. This book is no different. This is a humorous, self loving, and learning book about your body. If you have ever hated the way you look, this book is for you. I personally I read this book in sections. I felt that I got more out of the book that way. This book does not hold back. It is in your face about your body. I enjoyed this book and would recommend this book to anyone who is not loving their body.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

  • Journeys Through SpaceTime was a really good novel! It was a very enjoyable read, great characters and world building. It’s a science fiction fantasy novel, but there’s a lot more elements included than just those. I was instantly held in the pages as soon as I read the first chapter! I can’t wait for the next one, I would read this book again, and I can’t wait to read more from James Talisman!View all my reviews“>
