Magic-Price (The Crown of Stones, #1)Magic-Price by C.L. Schneider
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The Crown of Stones: Magic-Price by C. L. Schneider. I love a book that takes me by surprise, and this one definitely has. This author has quickly become a one click for me. This story was amazing and I’m so glad I picked it up. From page one I knew I was in for quite the adventure with Ian and I loved every minute of it. The storyline is well written with every detail described so well it all comes alive before your eyes. Each character brings something unique to the story and have a place. I’m not always one for fantasy types but I love when I find one that changes my mind. Five stars and highly recommend, can’t wait for more!

The Hazed Series Boxed Set by Brittany Tarkington – Review by Jenni Bishop

The Hazed Series (Books 1-3)The Hazed Series by Brittany Tarkingon
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The Hazed Series (Books 1-3) by Brittany Tarkington is a college romance with a bad boy. There are three books in one and each one is very emotive. With lots of secrets and lies, pain and suffering, broken hearts and hate, love and understanding. Brittany has done a great job in the world she has created and the characters draw you to them. There is the normal YA angst but with these two characters it goes way deeper. They each have their own demons to struggle with. The first two books are told in the female POV and the third book is told in the male POV.

Taylor has never been allowed to be a normal teenager girl. Her home life has been under the rule of a “preacher”, her father. Now she is in college and out of home she vows that no one will rule her with an iron thumb ever again. When she finds a job there is one person who could threaten her sanity and her heart. All she wants is for him to let her in but sometimes love is just not enough.

Hayze is one person all the girls want, but he is one and done. He has secrets that he won’t share, he draws you in and throws you away, but that doesn’t stop him from getting what he wants. When he sets his eyes on the new girl, his entire outlook on life changes. If only he could give up his ways but he won’t give up the one thing that makes him sane but drives him mad. As much as he realises he is no good for her, he can’t keep away, she is his obsession.

I really enjoyed this series as it wasn’t your normal YA romance college story. I just wanted to wrap Hayze up and sort him out. He wasn’t a bad guy he just has so much baggage to sort through. If you like college romance stories then you will love this one.

Found in the Lost (Special Forces: Operation Alpha)(The Leonidas Corporation Book 1) by Tarina Deaton – Review by Jonell Collins

Found in the Lost (Special Forces: Operation Alpha / The Leonidas Corporation Book 1)Found in the Lost by Tarina Deaton
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Found In The Lost by Tarina Deaton is a quick little romance in the jungle. All Kinley wants to do is show the world her accomplishment. Desperate to get to an archaeological dig so she can let her light shine she gets left out when she lands at the airport. All good love stories have a hero and Shane does not disappoint. A former Navy SEAL is there to pick up her pieces. Starting out Kinley doesn’t seem to be the strong individual that she turns out to be, in short, Kinley is surprising all the way around. This is a steamy little romance with some situations that might make some people uncomfortable. But a sweet little love story none the less.

Risking Everything: A Steamy Anthology of First Responders by Kara Liane, K.L. Montgomery, Harlow Layne, Amanda Siegrist, A.K. MacBride, Jody Kaye, Syd Ryan, Alyne Hart, Kelsey Cheyenne, Larissa Gail – Review by Randy Murphy

Risking Everything: A Steamy Anthology of First RespondersRisking Everything: A Steamy Anthology of First Responders by Kara Liane
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This collection of stories about romance with first responders starts off with an EMT that is quick to jump to conclusions in “Romance on the Rig” by Kara Liane. Murf falls for Lana at first sighting, but he makes some assumptions based on observations. Rather than asking questions to verify anything, he continues acting on false assumptions and hating his own attraction to someone that he considers to be “out of bounds” for him. When they do get together, they’re fun and interesting in how they date. The author does a wonderful job of giving a lot of information that makes the characters real without bogging down the story. Murf continues to assume the worst and almost loses the girl until he learns to truly open up. This is a great story and touches some real issues of how hard it is to communicate sometimes.

Vampire State by Alexander Charalambides – Review by Erin Wolf

Vampire StateVampire State by Alexander Charalambides
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I give Vampire State by Alexander Charalambides, 4 stars.

This is quite an interesting and unique book. Sure, there have been many books about vampires. We have even read the human must decide between the vampire or the human. But this book throws in something I have never seen before — politics. Rowena is thrust into a world of Pales living richly and the humans living in squalor. She can no longer stand by and watch, she must help. In order to succeed, she must play the game of politics. While this has been done to some extent before, I can’t say I’ve seen it like this.

Then there’s Rowena herself. Not annoying in the least (as some young adult leads can be), you root for her all the way. Then there are the other characters, her family and the ones who try to help and harm her. All are completely different and add to the story. You will not love everyone, but that is the point. We also can’t forget the story itself. Yes, politics plays heavily in this story, but it is not over your head or all dry talk. The author makes it interesting and easy to understand while entertaining you at the same time.

A story of survival, making things better, politics and love with a supernatural twist, this book is so different and the story is done so well, I highly recommend it.

Love & Omens (Crescent City Ghost Tours Book 2) by Carrie Pulkinen
Stars-5

I was excited to read book 2 after reading book 1, and it was just as fantastic as the first. Carrie Pulkinen does a wonderful job on leading her readers on adventures with the characters. These adventures are exciting with highs, lows, and a great pace that completely keeps you on your toes and immersed in the storyline. I was happy that Sydney was getting her own story, and found that it isn’t always what it seems. I really enjoyed Blake. I felt that the two characters were well matched together and complemented each other wonderfully. So, if you are looking for a great series/book, look no further. This a great series! Although these can be read as a standalone, it would make the best sense when read in order.

Not a Good Death: Agents of Dart Series Book Two (Romantic Suspense)Not a Good Death: Agents of Dart Series Book Two by Naomi Bellina
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Like the best fires, this story builds slowly to make sure that it burns stable and hot. It takes a little bit to build the different characters and plot lines. But the characters and the suspense have a lot of depth. There are many twists and turns as Lily and Dillon learn to be partners in the field as well as in life. Things continue to heat up as they transition from a simple witness retrieval to catching a murderer. It also offers one of the best lines I’ve found “Agents of DART get taken down by a blow dart, we’ll never live this down.” This is a story that will draw you in and keep you intrigued.

I loved getting to see these characters again. Didn’t realize how much I missed them until I dove into this book.
While we follow Brice and Favor in their POV, we are also getting a huge secondary story of Wayne and Jana. (Can’t wait for that one, it’s going to be emotional I can just tell)
Brice and Favor are spending the summer with friends and don’t expect What all happens to happen. They’re wanting fun and bonding and they get drama and high emotions. I felt all of everything in this book, and while its quick it packs its punches well. Can’t wait to get more from this group of characters.

“IN UNITY, THERE IS STRENGTH”

RISKING EVERYTHING is an anthology of stories featuring first responders. Some are super sexy and some are super sweet. There are stories filled with angst, romance and friendship.

Each story can be read as a stand-alone, and some have threads that come from a series that I will be adding to my “want to read” list.

Reconstructed Heart by K.L. Montgomery was one of my favorites. Often times in life, things happen that have a domino effect and we don’t know why until we can look back. That is what this story is about and it was heartbreaking and fantastic all at the same time.

Love & Omens (Crescent City Ghost Tours Book 2) by Carrie Pulkinen – Review by Sheri Schrader

Love & Omens (Crescent City Ghost Tours, #2)Love & Omens by Carrie Pulkinen
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Love & Omens by Carrie Pulkinen is the second book in the Crescent City Ghost Tours series. I recommend reading the first book in the series before this one because there are some recurring characters and background which help with this one. Sydney Park works for Crescent City Ghost Tours and there are some changes coming including new tours. The new tour is ending at the Museum of the Macabre and is owned by someone from her past, Blake Beaumont.
This is a fun series set in the alluring and mysterious New Orleans. The setting adds to the story and helps to keep everything a bit spooky. I really liked Sydney in the first book and am glad she is the focus of this book. She is a strong character and knows what’s up. Blake is great and he is a nice offset from Sydney. The two work well together and I wanted everything to come together for them. I look forward to reading more from this author in the future and seeing more of the Crescent City Ghost Tours.

Hidden Obsession (An Alliance Agency Novel #2)Hidden Obsession by India Kells
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I can’t even tell you how in love with this series I am! Cleo and Mason are fantastically written and I just can’t get enough of them! Cleo is the violet haired, beautiful receptionist for the Alliance Agency and Mason Bentley is one of their sexy, smoking hot lead agents. There was an instant attraction between these two from the moment they laid eyes on each other. Cleo is adamant that she won’t get involved with anyone she works with but Mason is determined to break her down. When a stalker shows up in her life, Mason takes the lead on her case and is determined to keep her safe, but will he be able to when she isn’t telling him everything about her past? Some secrets aren’t meant to be kept and could get you killed if you don’t share them. Will Cleo be able to open up to Mason without changing his opinion of her for the worst? Is she willing to find out or should she just run?

As all of the books in this series has been… Hidden Obsession if full of action, suspense, emotion, and romance. It is superbly well written with a great plot, fantastic characters that you’ll instantly fall in love with, and a story line that will keep you on the edge of your seat. While each book can be read as a standalone, I highly recommend reading the series in order. Go ahead, start from the beginning! I’m sure you’ll love this series just as much as I do!

Risking Everything was an amazing steamy and romantic collection of stories. The stories were well written and entertaining with excellently developed characters. I had a hard time picking which one was my favorite. I did find it easier to relate to female lead character Penelope Justice in “Always Kind Of Love” by author Amanda Seigrest. This story was a second chance Romance featuring a hunky Fireman name Ethan. It was a fun read. I really enjoyed all of the stories present in this collection and I highly recommend it. It is definitely something a varied group of romance readers would enjoy.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This anthology features ten stories by ten authors who bring us stories revolving around the love lives of first responders. Each story features a couple that deals with the drama of everyday life on top of the requirements of their jobs. Each story was well written, and I found myself falling in love with the characters throughout the book. Two of my favorite stories were Reconstructed Heart by K.L. Montgomery and Romance on the Rig by Kaira Lane.

Reconstructed Heart tells the story of Trey Prince, a member of the Collision Reconstruction Unit, called to scene of an accident where he finds himself personally invested in figuring out what happens. Jenna Labato is an officer that responds to the initial scene and tries to help Trey heal as he deals with the aftermath of the accident. Jenna is a strong character that balances Trey as he is falling apart. This story shows the human side of officers that deal with horrific situations on a daily basis. I found myself fully invested in their story and rooting for them.

Romance on the Rig focuses on Lana Royce and Sean “Murf” Murphy. Lana lives with her sister and helps take care of her niece and nephew. Murf is an EMT that has been burned in the past when it comes to his love life. From the beginning, there are misconceived notions and misunderstandings between Lana and Murf that may derail this relationship before it ever starts. Lana is so giving to those around here and Murf wants to be the guy to give her everything she needs, if he could just get out of his own way.

I enjoyed reading each of the stories in this anthology and will be looking forward to reading future books from each of the authors.

I would give this book five out of five stars.This is the second book in the series, can be perfectly stand alone. I did read the first one and loved the encounters with Sydney so when I saw this was her story I got excited. Sydney is definitely a spit fire, she dances to the beat of her own drum, and I loved every second of this book. I did enjoy Blake’s character as well, he was well rounded and definitely a dreamy read. I loved the plot and twists and turns that presented themselves. There were definitely times where I wished I could jump in and tie all the pieces together for the characters. I was easily captivated and fell in love with New Orleans more than I already was. There is just a way that the city and characters are written that the city comes alive in the pages.

The story Sarah Smiles by Sean-Paul Thomas is a YA/Coming of age book. It is a story that hooked me in from the beginning and I found myself not wanting to put it down until I had finished the last page. This is a book that takes you on a journey with the characters and I couldn’t help but grow to care about many of them with each chapter that I read. I enjoyed reading about the characters of Liam and Sarah. Liam is a teenager who has just started another school. It is here that he meets Michael, the school bully. Sarah is a young girl who seems to have spellbound Liam. He finds himself calling her a friend. Liam and Sarah’s days are filled with different adventures. Many are positive, others have them confiding in each other their fears. What does the future hold for both Liam and Sarah? How long will their adventures last? Read this book to find out. This was a story that has heartbreaking moments and others when you want to cheer for Liam and Sarah. The situations that they deal with while living in an adult world will have you feeling empathy for them. There are also other characters that you are introduced to and some are helpful, while others only think about themselves. This is a book that I enjoyed reading and one that touched my heart. I highly recommend reading it.

Wynne hits it out of the park with this one. I LOVE historical romance. When you throw in a rogue and an innocent and sprinkle it with Regency… I’m done for.

Loved every page and look forward to reading it again very soon!

What a wonderful collection of winter time stories! There is definitely something for everybody in this anthology – from paranormal to sweet romance.
One of the stories I particularly enjoyed was Poinsettias for Carly by Michele Sims. I enjoy second chance romances so this one was always going to be a great story for me and throw in Christmas time and it ticks every box! Although this was a short story it wasn’t lacking in anything at all – it was well written with characters that were developed nicely. I loved Carly! I thought that she was a great character. She’s been through some tough times but she absolutely stands up for what she believes in! Even if that means standing up to the man who she shares a past with! This really was a lovely story and well worth a read from this anthology!

Risking Everything: A Steamy Anthology of First Responders is a charity anthology, with all proceeds going to the Stephen Siller Tunnel to Towers Foundation. So, not only do you get ten superb stories from ten talented authors when you purchase Risking Everything, but you will also be helping out a very worthy charity in the process.
All the stories focus on the theme of ‘first responders’ from Firefighters, to Police Officers, EMT’s to Collision Investigators, and dedicated Emergency Dispatcher- are just a few of the many first responders who play a part in this fantastic book.
We get to see these everyday heroes as ‘real people’ with real issues and emotions. We get to look behind their professional mask, to the person behind the ‘job’. I really thought the authors did a great job of showing their characters vulnerabilities, quirks, and flaws. It made them all quite ‘real’, and entirely believable. It also made for some emotive reading which tugged at my heartstrings.
There is s define spicy element to the anthology too, which will keep you warm while you are reading. So, what are you waiting for? Grab yourself a copy and dive in. I’m sure you won’t regret it.

Thank you to all the contributing authors!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Loving Jake written by Lisa Lanay is the first installment in the Almost Perfect series. I decided to read this book on a whim because it seemed like one that I would enjoy… I was correct. This was a short and sweet book that I highly liked! The writing in this book is flawless and paired with the perfect character descriptions and catchy story line, it was hard to put down. The characters in this book were likable as well as being easy to relate to. This story is more than the simple “two people meet and fall in love” because Jake and Kimberly have known each other most of their lives. Throughout this whole story I was on the back and forth of “man ya’ll need to get it together” and “no, don’t do that”. It was frustrating at times with some decisions that were being made but in all honesty I can see why things were the characters were making those awful decisions. Things finally fall in to place and IT WAS PERFECT! The ending of the book is the sweetest thing ever. I cannot wait to get my hands on the next book in the series!

The story Mommie Dearest by Christina Crawford is a biography. It tells the story of a daughter whose only wish in life is to be loved and gain the acceptance of her mother Joan Crawford. It is also a book that sheds light on the abuse that she received. The story is heartbreaking and at times had me angry with situations that occurred. It is also a story of survival and of the strength of character that Christina showed throughout her life. The book gives details about Hollywood and the different roles that Joan Crawford played as well as how alcohol was a major part of her life. I found my emotions going up and down the entire time that I was reading this story and I found Christina to be someone what I had empathy for. Even with her home life in chaos, Christina was a someone who excelled in all that she did. This is a story that kept me up far into the night as I just couldn’t put it down until I had finished the final page. This is a biography that touched me deeply. I highly recommend reading it.

The story THE HUSBANDS by T.J. Brearton is a book that I loved reading. It pulled me in right from the beginning and had me turning pages to find out what happens next. It is a heart-pounding thrill ride that just won’t let go. I loved reading about the character of Kelly Roth. She is an FBI profiler who has returned home in order to help local police find a killer.

Not a Good Death (Agents of Dart Series Book 2) by Naomi Bellina – Review by Moriah Venable

Not a Good Death: Agents of Dart Series Book Two (Romantic Suspense)Not a Good Death: Agents of Dart Series Book Two by Naomi Bellina
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Not a Good Death is a novel by by Naomi Bellina. This is my first novel by this author.

Lily Blume and Dillon Hurst are partners and working together together for an assignment. Things changed when their assignment runs off after attacking them and a girl is found dead.

With Lily in danger it’s hard to keep personal life away from work.

This was an amazing story. Lily and Dillion are more than just work partners and letting your feelings get in the way can cause someone to get hurt if the killer strikes again.

With a good mystery and storyline, I highly recommend this.
