The Fisher Men On the X (Fisher Men Book III) by Rebel Nicks O’Dey – Review by Maura Harper

Fisher Men On the X (Book III)Fisher Men On the X by Rebel Nicks O’Dey
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

THE FISHER MEN ON THE X is book 3 in the series and is listed as a stand-alone. I really recommend reading the first two books in the series before this one. I read books 1 and 2 a bit ago and it took me until about 50% through to not feel unsettled and like I was only seeing parts of the story. Don’t get me wrong, the story in Book 3 is fantastic, it was just all the other characters and back stories that kept me on my toes. It is told in a dual POV with minimum flashbacks to set the stage. The story moves at a pretty good pace and I love that the roles are reversed and supported as much as if they were gender normative.

This is Zach Fisher’s story and as I was reading, it felt like I’d read his character before. Something about the way he tattoos with his tongue out. Well of course I’d read this before because his twin was in Book 1 and describes the motion. THAT’S I mean about how it was a little tough to piece together for a while.

The healing that takes place in this story is breathtaking. The respect given to the entire process. These are my favorite quotes in the story:

“There is value in every person who graces your life, even if it’s for the briefest of moments.”
“I survived before I could live, so this is nothing.”

This book was so movingly beautiful in certain scenes – I cried; Other times I chuckled.

Xander was book 1
Connor was book 2
Zach was book 3
Morgan is going to be book 4

I will go back and at least peruse the first 3 before I pick up book 4.

I am very glad to have found Stever and enjoyed this second book in the series as much as the first. Fast paced, action packed, and it kept me guessing. I really enjoy Stever’s writing style and character development. The plot moved quickly and I found myself zipping through the pages to figure out how everything would resolve. Very enjoyable read and one I would recommend to others.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The Men of Holmby HIlls: Chase was a good 4 star read and book one in The Holmby Hills series. This is a quick read about Chase and Carrie.

Chase is a popular actor and is known as a playboy. While on set he meets Carrie and he is drawn in by her. Carrie is a teacher and is surprised when Chase asks her out.. One date turns into more and things move forward very well for them.

The Men of Holmby Hills: Chase (The Holmby Hills Series Book 1) by Allyson Simonian – Review by Jenni Bishop

The Men of Holmby Hills: ChaseThe Men of Holmby Hills: Chase by Allyson Simonian
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

The Men of Holmby Hills: Chase (The Holmby Hills Series Book 1) by Allyson Simonian is a contemporary romance story with very short chapters making it a quick read. But I suspect because of this we were not given enough time to find the history behind these characters and their world. Whilst I liked the story, it did not grab me, and I felt the characters were not fully realised. It was hard to relate to and invest myself in the characters. The story frustrated me because the lead male was a self-absorbed womanising ahole. I believe the story would be great if it were longer in its telling and more details were given making the characters and their world more relatable.

Chase is an actor; whose childish and wanton ways threaten his job and off puts the people around him. When a new girl turns up, he finds he can’t stop thinking about her. Things move fast, he marries her but his ahole ways and lies and secrets threaten their very foundation. I really, really wanted to smack some sense into him.

Carrie is a very sweet woman who can’t believe this sexy man has any interest in her, one she has had a crush on since her teenage years. One minute she has run away from one relationship only to jump in to another one. Unfortunately, her new life is nothing like she envisioned, and all hell breaks loose.

It will be interesting to what happens in future books.

Run from Love: A Bowser Belles Sweet Contemporary RomanceRun from Love: A Bowser Belles Sweet Contemporary Romance by Teddy Cat Hester
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Run from Love: A Bowser Belles Sweet Contemporary Romance by Teddy Cat Hester is a fun and sweet romantic story that is easy to read. I really enjoyed Teddy Cat’s writing and fell in love with the characters, who are fully realised with real problems. I loved the relationship with the main characters, and they had me laughing at their banter and wanting to pull my hair out at the same time.

Scarlet has a strict 6-month deadline to her relationships, it’s better to cut and run than form attachments. Her life is her babies Daffy and Dilly and a bit of fun in between.

Nick has fallen for a certain lady and is determined to outlast the 6-month rule. But he knows he needs to tread carefully with the R word or lose her forever.

Teddy Cat has done a wonderful and fun story that is worth the read. I can’t wait to see what comes next.

Hitting The High Note (A Four Horsemen Novel Book 3) by C A King – Review by Maura Harper

Hitting The High Note (A Four Horsemen Novel Book 3)Hitting The High Note by C.A. King
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

“Humans have always required knowledge.”

CONFESSION: This author is an auto one-click for me because I enjoy all of her books. I read these books based on the author’s name alone.

Glad I got that out of the way…

HITTING THE HIGH NOTE is Book 3 of the Four Horsemen Series and it is my very strong recommendation that you read this series in order. This story is Uriel’s and he may be my favorite sibling.

I do not want to give anything away in this story so I will continue to be vague, just know that there was an ad that said… “Demons and followers seeking the key to the gates of hell…” I mean, how can a story not be a 5 star read with THOSE words written into a paragraph.

I absolutely recommend this story, this series and this author.

5 Stars

This author has snuck up on me and quickly become a favorite…I loved this book!! Might be my favorite of all three but not by much because they were all amazing.

It took me a bit when i started to shake off the confusion and figure out what was going on but once I did I was caught, hook, line, and sinker. Could not put it down and already want to go back and read them all again.

It says this can be read as a standalone…Trust me when I say you do not want to do that. All 3 of these need to be read in order to get the full and complete picture …These characters are in all of them and Nonna is still my absolute favorite of the entire bunch.

This one hit ALL the feels, I laughed, I got seriously angry, I was saddened many times and it may sound funny but I felt proud of our little Becca, what she did with her life was amazing and I had to laugh at how clueless she was on so many things yet held the strength and bravery of many men. I straight up fell in love with Zach, and learning of the history of these two characters made this story that much better. I love the family aspect of these books and when the Fisher Men get together it is LOL funny.

I can not recommend this book along with the first 2 books highly enough…One Click them all…I can not wait for the next in this series and I hope it’s not the end, there has to be a way to continue the Fisher Men story!

Loved It!!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Hitting the Hight Note is Book #3 in The Four Horseman Novel series. I definitely think these books should be read in order for the story to really flow and to get a better understanding of the Horseman. This book is just as captivating as the others, I was hooked from the first page with the brilliant writing style C.A King brings us, she writes with so much description that you can’t help but visualise the whole read, it helps create the illusion in your mind that you are really there within the story yourself.
This book isn’t short on twists and turns, it definitely leaves you wondering what could happen next and leaves you on the edge of your seat. This book has action, adventure & danger and epic characters that you can’t help but love to follow their journey.

You will never be disappointed when reading a book from C.A King you will become immersed in her worlds she creates and makes you never want to leave. I can’t wait to see what is brought next to this series, I’ll eagerly be awaiting more!

A Cowboy Under the Mistletoe Anthology by Susan Fisher Davis, Leslie Garcia, Melissa Keir, Debbie Desmarteau, Stephanie Berget, D’Ann Lindun – Review by Angela Hayes

A Cowboy Under the MistletoeA Cowboy Under the Mistletoe by Susan Fisher Davis
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

 

I love holiday stories- and this book is packed with six stories celebrating all the wonderful qualities about this time of the year. Six fantastic authors have collaborated, to bring us a holiday collection full of romance- and COWBOYS! What a great mix!
This anthology brings together some wonderfully talented storytellers, who all have different styles and approaches to writing- each creating their own unique and individual story using the same theme to inspire them all- the inspiration being, Cowboys and Christmas.
Cowboy Under the Mistletoe is such a great read. I can honestly say that all the stories were really well written and very entertaining, and there were multiple favourites for me.
I have read a few of these author’s work before and have loved their books- Melisa Keir, D’Ann Lindun, and Leslie Garcia. But the other authors were new-to-me, so I really enjoyed exploring their work and adding them to my TBR. All the stories are really great- entirely captivating with wonderful plots, well developed characters, and infused with all those great Christmas ‘feels’.

The Anthology contains:

-A Cowboy For Christmas By: Susan Fisher Davis
-The Cowboy’s Christmas Hand By: Leslie Garcia
-Tempting the Cowboy By: Melissa Keir
-A Different Kind Of Christmas By: Debbie Desmarteau
-Saving a Cowboy’s Christmas By: Stephanie Bergot
-Noah’s Christmas Faith By: D’Ann Lindun

The stories cover a wide range of topics and elements- including drama, intrigue, heartache, emotion, second chances, new beginnings, forgiveness, love, loss, guilt, romance, tenderness, action, redemption, family, friendship, temptation, relationships, obstacles, hope, faith, friends to lovers, finding love unexpectedly, and plenty of surprises.
This is a book that has something to please everyone- especially for those who love holiday romances mixed with some sexy cowboys.
I really recommend this Anthology! It is worth every cent of the purchase price- six books in one…. Now that’s what I call a fantastic deal!
Happy Reading!

Thank you to all the contributing authors!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Drawing Strength from Words by C.A. King a five-star read that turns myths on their heads. This is number two in the Four Horseman novels series and they go from strength to strength, I read number one a while ago and then read number two and three in very quick succession and now I just need number four. Out of the three I have read so far number two is my current favourite as it just takes the whole story and adds something extra to it, this whole series has been full of twists and turns and has kept me in the edge of my seat all the way though, but this one just had the extra layer. Gabriel what a character, she really does pull I out of the box, ad when you add Ryder to the mix it just creates an explosive story that will suck you in, spitting you out the other side changed.

As always, this author makes you see the story portrayed in front of you, the descriptions are so detailed its like the story comes alive as you read it. The story between Bekka and Uriel will keep you on tenterhook’s, in fact the whole story does that but between them they do keep this story great.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

 

OMG! Could this series get any better!!! Rebel Nicks O’Dey keeps upping the anti with each instalment and the details just seem to get more intriguing and more riveting! After reading the first two books, and knowing the characters- I wasn’t sure how Ms. Nicks O’Dey would pull this story off. But she definitely did- with a bang! I am so hooked on her stories- I have developed a serious addiction that I am in no hurry to cure. I can’t believe I waited so long before finally diving into her books. Lesson learned, that’s for sure!!!
The Fisher Men On the X is the third fantastic instalment in the Fisher Men Series by Rebel Nicks O’Dey. The story has been woven with plenty of suspense, a little mystery, steamy scenes, action, adventure, surprising developments, twists, secrets, drama, intrigue, tension, danger, emotion, and romance.
As I have said before, I love how this story/series focuses on an individual brother/couple- but also how there is a bridging story that plays out at the same time. There are so many intricate and interconnected details woven through the storyline- I can really appreciate how much attention to detail, planning, thought, heart, and soul that Ms. Nicks O’Dey has put into her work. Nothing has been left to chance- even the smallest detail seems to play a vital role in the course of the storyline.
In this book Zack Fisher meets his match, and secrets are revealed- as we follow along on this intense ride. Becca had escaped a cult where she was to be sold as a child bride. She’s now stronger, smarter, and tougher than the frightened girls she was. She’s a deadly, government-trained assassin determined to go through with her plan. What has she got planned? What part does Zack play in it all? Where do the Fisher Men fit into the story? Has she accounted for life, and love? You really should read the story and discover all the intriguing developments for yourself. Trust me, you won’t be disappointed!
I can not wait to continue this series! Bring on Book Four!!!
Awesome job!

Thank you, Rebel Nicks O’Dey!

The Fisher Men X My Heart is the first book in the Fisher Men Series by Rebel Nicks O’Dey. This is my first read from Ms. Nicks O’Dey, and I must confess that I really wasn’t sure I would like this book- let alone love it. I had seen it advertised a few times, but hadn’t jumped to one-click it, as I had sooooo many books on my TBR pile. But after seeing some great reviews- my curiosity was piqued, and I wanted to find out what I had been missing. So, here I am, late to the party- and kicking myself that I didn’t get on board this great series when I first saw it. I have been missing out by not having this author and her sublime books in my life much sooner than now. Because this book, series, and author- are truly fantastic!!! I am so impressed by what an incredibly talented storyteller Rebel Nicks O’Dey has proved herself to be. This book/series is one of my favourite reads for the year, for sure.
This story has so much going on in it, in a great way. From secrets, to suspense, a little mystery, plenty of steam, chemistry, drama, intrigue, tension, danger, emotion, romance, and so much more. I was pulled into the story from the very beginning and couldn’t tear myself away. I read the book in one sitting because I found it difficult to put down, even for a minute. I was so immersed in the story- so invested in the characters and the outcome of the story- that I really NEEDED to know how the story played out- so I devoured the book over the course of the afternoon/evening and loved every minute. I loved the storyline, characters, and Ms. Nicks O’Dey’s writing style so much that I read the first 3 books back-to-back! And WOW- colour me impressed! I am in love with the story- and completely enthralled by the wonderful characters. I wanted to be part of the group, hang out and banter with them, and become a part of their lives. This is how real and believable these characters and their story are- they made me want to be part of their ‘world’. And holy hotness- every single one of the Fisher Men have now joined my book boyfriend harem!!!
When Samantha Reynolds moved next door to the Fisher family as a young teenager, she didn’t fully appreciate (at the time) how important the brothers would become to her, how much she would need and appreciate each and every one. She couldn’t possible predict the traumatic event that would cement their relationship- where the Fisher Men make a pact to protect her- a pact of friendship that stood the test of time. Each one playing their part. Morgan, Connor, Xander, and Zack give her the strength to move forward and live her life. But there was always one brother who was imbedded into her heart much deeper than the rest. Now she’s an adult, just finished college- and headed back to their hometown, determined to claim her man. Has she waited too long? Will he feel the same way? What happens when pacts are tested, deals are made, and secrets are revealed? Will she win her man- or lose them all? Throw in some danger, and I’m on the edge of my seat devouring every word- caught up in the developments. I really recommend reading this fantastic story to find out all the intriguing details for yourself. Don’t be like me and turn up late to this incredible ‘party’- you’ll regret not doing it sooner!
The story is funny- with witty touches throughout the story. The banter, quips and antics had me smiling, and then laughing out loud. This helped balance the intense, emotional parts of the story which had me holding my breath, or really tugged at my heartstrings. The camaraderie between the brothers, and between them, Sam, their friends, and family, was captured so well. It was what made me want to be part of their ‘group’.
I could go on and on about this book- but I still wouldn’t be able to do it the justice it deserves. It’s one of those books you really should read yourself to find out how fantastic it really is. Rebel Nicks O’Dey has earned herself a place at my ‘favourite author’ table- and I will most definitely be devouring the rest of the series- as well as exploring every other book/series in her catalogue of work.
Brilliant!

Thank you, Rebel Nicks O’Dey!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

 

The Fisher Men X-ing lines is the second book in the Fisher Men Series by Rebel Nicks O’Dey. The story has a wonderful friends-to-lovers element to the storyline, and a bit of a rom/com feel- but with plenty of suspense, a little mystery, intense chemistry, steamy details, some adventure, hidden agendas, investigations, drama, intrigue, tension, danger, emotion, and romance.
I love how this story/series focuses on an individual brother/couple- but also how there is a bridging story that plays out at the same time. There are so many intricate and interconnected details woven through the storyline- I can really appreciate how much attention to detail, planning, thought, heart, and soul that Ms. Nicks O’Dey has put into her work. Nothing has been left to chance- even the smallest detail seems to play a vital role in the course of the storyline.
This story was so intriguing- and really held its own against the brilliant first book. My level of anticipation was quite high, especially after loving the first book as hard as I did- and I wasn’t sure this could live up to it – but I needn’t have worried, as Ms. Nicks O’Dey certainly delivered everything I could have hoped for, and much more.
Veronica Lang (Rika) is Sam’s best friend (Book #1) and an investigative journalist working on an explosive expose. She has just moved into Connor Fisher’s apartment as his new roommate. This should be an interesting experience, especially since Connor is a well known neat freak, with OCD tendencies, and definite germaphobe. He’s also incredibly good looking and a really nice guy. But Rika is inquisitive, nosey, and lacks boundaries. From the start she starts blurring the lines, pushing his boundaries, and breaking all his rules. And they haven’t even met in person yet. So, what ensues makes for some really fun reading!
As with the first book, I was pulled into the story from the very beginning and couldn’t tear myself away. I was completely immersed in the story- and had to know how what happens. There are so many great characters- and a lot of them are recurring characters- so I really recommend reading the books as part of the series, because each book helps to build a ‘bigger picture’ as well as having many interconnected details and cross-overs of timelines/storylines. Ms. Nicks O’Dey does a brilliant job of weaving this multi-layered storyline- choreographing all the details quite masterfully.
A wonderful addition to the series, and a story/series you won’t want to miss!
Brilliant!

Thank you, Rebel Nicks O’Dey!

A Dark Sparrow Box Set is the first three books in the Dark Sparrow Series by India Kells. This set contains Lost Bastard, Cold Bastard and Wild Bastard. All three stories are a wonderful reads and can be read as standalones.

Lost Bastard features Aleksie and Deva. This book is full of action, mystery, danger and romance. This book had me hooked from the first page and I couldn’t put it down. The characters development is wonderful and the situations are intense.

Cold Bastard is the second book in the Dark Sparrow series by India Kells. I love a strong willed, kickass female lead and you will get that in this book. This story had me hooked from the very first page, and I read it in one sitting. It is full of action, suspense, humor and romance. The incredible writing skills and detailed characters made this a great read.

Wild Bastard is the third book in the Dark Sparrows Series by India Kells. This book hooked from the very first page and I couldn’t put it down till the last. This is Isabel and Kai’s story. They have so much chemistry, but also a bunch of baggage from their past. My emotions were taking big swings during this book, and I loved the action. I would highly recommend this book, series and author. I’m really looking forward to seeing what Ms.Kells has in store for us next.

☆☆☆☆☆
This is a full length novel. You will find this to be a Romantic Suspense story.

Melissa and Pyro are the main characters in this book. It is their story!
Melissa is a strong independent woman. Never thought she would ever find her true mate. Let alone find him in The Satan’s Devils motorcycle club. Pyro was never going to settle down. He is (shhhh) the sweetest man ever. He takes Melissa as a friend and her protector. Life is an unexpected adventure. He soon finds himself, questioning himself. No Spoilers!

Manda Mellett has done it again. Her story picks up where she left off in chapter # 3. Please stop here if you have not read #1- #3. While you can read this as a standalone, you really should try to read the others first. You will find this book well written and fast paced. A true page turner loaded with action and a really unique romance. I truly have enjoyed Manda Mellett’s motorcycle stories. This one being my favorite, although I say that after each book. Well done Manda Mellett! I’ll be waiting for #5.

As Alessandra starts to learn things about her family she starts to question some things. Does she really want to follow through with her father’s expectations? I really like Alessandra, she was very smart, strong female. Once I started, I couldn’t stop until I was done.

My Tragic Life: Prequel to The Brothers of Camelot
We continue with Aless’s story. She is very good with her weapons and she definitely shows up her Capos men. You get pulled in right from the beginning and won’t want to stop until your done. We get lots of action, suspense, several different emotions, violence and so much more.

Her Capo is looking for the right man to be by her side, why won’t he let her choose “the one”? She has gotten him to agree to her going to University, will her plan finally work? Can she get what she needs to get out?

Boy, I really love the chemistry between Luigi and Aless. He vows that he will not touch her while she’s underage but you can sure feel the heat coming up between them. Although she has plans to find someone outside the family. Grayson, please wait for me.

All of the secondary characters were great. Necie Navone does such a great job with her writing, you feel like your right there with everyone.

My Free Life: Prequel to The Brothers of Camelot
This is the final book in this great series.
Alessandra is getting ready to graduate and she is the Cappo Doona for the family. She wants to have her freedom and fulfill her promise to her mother. But things are not that simple for her.

There is so much that is going on in this book. All of the characters added a great element to the story. My emotions were all over the place. There are several unexpected twists and turns. I really liked Alessandra, she was a very strong woman that we get to watch grow up in this series. We get lots of action, secrets, suspense and so much more in this whole series. The ending couldn’t have been more perfect.

If you’re looking for a great read, I highly suggest you 1-click and get started on this one. I look forward to reading more from this author.

Devil’s Dilemma: Satan’s Devils MC (Colorado Chapter #4) by Manda Mellett – Review by Randall Murphy
This book gives a wonderful Motorcycle Club series. If you haven’t read any of the Satan’s Devils series, you can still enjoy this book, but the other characters mentioned in the book will not be familiar to you. If you are already a fan, this is Skull and Melissa’s story. It gives some back story that occurs prior to book 3. It continues their story and allows you to see what they go through before they find their Happily Ever After. As always, the characters are wonderfully written and very real.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Journeys Through SpaceTime (Journeys Through Book 1) by James Talisman
4 stars

I’ll preface this by saying this is not a genre I read a lot, but the cover and synopsis made it to where I couldn’t pass it up. While I enjoyed the book, it was something very new to me as I had no clue what a multiverse really was until this.
Wonderful writing had me not wanting to put it down, and it painted some great pictures in my mind. I will say I had to write down who was who as I couldn’t keep names straight but that may have just been me and the distractions of my children.
All in all if this is your genre of choice, you’ll absolutely love it, and if you like great writing and storytelling this is also the book for you. I am looking forward to more from this author as if this is his debut novel, I can’t imagine what the next will be like with how well this was written. Congratulations on your debut novel!

A Dark Sparrow Box Set (Dark Sparrow Series Books 1-3) by India Kells – Review by Robin Rankin

A Dark Sparrow Box Set - Books 1-3A Dark Sparrow Box Set – Books 1-3 by India Kells
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

A Dark Sparrow Box Set – Books 1-3 (Dark Sparrow Series) by India Kells consists of the first three books and this series.

You have six men, all fathered by the same man who’s lives could be more different except for their one common bond, Daddy who is anything but father of the year material.

Of the three brothers featured in this box set I think I liked Kai the best but they are all so different I’m not sure if he was really my favorite if I picked him because he is freshest in my mind.

There is no lack in adventure, suspense and romance in all of the books. I can’t wait to see what happens next.

My Life Series: Box Set: Prequel to Brothers of Camelot by Necie Navone

5 out of 5 stars
Ms. Navone out did herself with this series. The characters are amazing and well written, and the plot was amazing. The description of the surroundings and the detail of what Alless aka Alessandra went through is just amazing.
My Hidden life book 1: Alessandra, is the Princess of the Canzano crime Family, she was introduced to the dangers of her family’s world at the young age of six when a rival family left her bleeding and scared on her birthday. Her uncle now dedicates his life to making sure she is not only protected but that Alessandra will never feel helpless again in their world. All the while, trying to keep her feeling like she is just a normal young girl. She has to be better than any man around her. She’s the Family future. Can she handle the family and all that it entails?
Let’s, watch Alessandra in Part One of My Life series as she trains to be the heir to the Canzano Family the way her Capo her father wants. A life that she must hide from even her closest friends and family.
My Tragic life Book 2: She is the Princess of the Canzano Family, a title many would think to be glamorous, amazing. Well, the glamorous part would be accurate, but that’s where it ends. She is miserable. She has been training since she was six years old to protect the Family… a side of her that she needs to keep hidden. She must always appear to be the perfectly polished Princess, a ruse and title she really despises.
She gets no choice in anything, everything is controlled for me by her father, the Capo who is a tyrant when it comes to Aless. She wishes and dreams for the freedom to be HERSELF. When a rival Family strikes causing her life to be turned upside down, she didn’t think things could get any worse and then she learns how wrong she is and now she is forced to become her worst nightmare in order to protect the Family she wants no part of.
Her life went from being bearable misery to nothing short of Tragic.
My Free like Book 3: Duty. Responsibility. Family. Three words that form the gilded cage she lived in all her life. But she wants to escape no be the princess she wants to be an ordinary woman…
Freedom. Something most of the people on this Earth enjoy and take for granted. Something she’s never had. Something she want more than anything.
When she left for University, she thought her life wouldn’t be quite so tragic…Ha! She is now the Capo Donna, in charge of the Family and its businesses located in Northern Italy. But her tyrant of a father/capo is in a power struggle and it comes to a head when some of my closest friends find themselves caught in a dangerous situation.
In order to save them, she needs switch flip, in side of her the one she hate’s, in order to be what they need her to be to save them. The monster her Papa insisted she become, the one he can no longer control. The assassin. The side of her fears she will destroy her soul if she can’t escape from the Family…
As friends and loved ones begin finding their Happily Ever After, she knows it’s time to escape. They’ll all be fine. They have their One and Only. It’s time for her to be Free… so she can find her One and only….
I highly recommend this book

Hitting The High Note (A Four Horsemen Novel Book 3) by C A King – Review by Mirela Ruiz

Hitting The High Note (A Four Horsemen Novel Book 3)Hitting The High Note by C.A. King
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Hitting The High Note (A Four Horsemen Novel Book 3) by C A King is the third book in this wonderful series! I would give this book a five out of five stars. Uriel’s story is captivating that keeps you hooked until the end. I love Uriel’s cowboy spirit, he is my favorite so far. I love Bekka’s love for music, her personality made the story so much better. Her draw to the supernatural is so relateable.

Hitting the High Note is the third book in The Four Horseman series by C.A. King. This series must be read in order to really understand the concept. This is my new favorite book by C.A. King.

My Life Series: Prequel to The Brothers of Camelot by Necie Navone – Review by Maura Harper

My Life Series: Box Set: Prequel to Brothers of CamelotMy Life Series: Box Set: Prequel to Brothers of Camelot by Necie Navone
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I originally read these stories individually and I love that they are now a box set. To be able to read from beginning to end is a pleasure.

This is actually a prequel to a series and stands on its own. There is a super strong story line with all of the important components for a good book. It has action, great dialogue, angst, humor and so much more.

I absolutely recommend this series.
