Orion’s Kiss by Claire Luana
4 Stars

I truly love this author. I have read several of her novels and have never been disappointed. This is another beautifully written story. It is based on Orion and the Pleiades sisters. I’ve always loved greek mythology and I enjoy when authors incorporate it into their stories.

Meriah is actually one of the Pleiades sisters, Merope. She has been stuck in a loop of constantly being reincarnated to watch her sisters die by Orion’s hands. In each lifetime, she has tried to stop their deaths to no avail. She decides that this lifetime will be different. If she gets rid of Orion then he can’t harm her sisters. Realizing she can’t kill someone in cold blood, Meriah has to come up with plan b.

It was a light read with a dark edge to it. The story was well written with solid characters. I enjoyed the book and look forward to reading more from this author.

Proper Irish (Jaded Lily #1)Proper Irish by Zeia Jameson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

A great read about culture. Stella is a party planner trying to organise a St Patrick’s Day Ball. She tries her best to arrange it despite the customers picky pacularities. But on meeting her stepson in the garden, Stella is infused with new ideas that go against everything her boss and customer wants. But at the end of the day is honour better than coin?
A great read. Well developed plot with twists and turns that I just couldn’t put down. Well developed characters like Stella standing up for herself but kind underneath or Padraig tough on the outside but caring on the inside. Great cast of supporting characters like the sweet and motherly Moira or the fun friend Kerry. A great antagonist in Rachel, perfectly done and not too much.
I loved the visual detail throughout the novel like the sense of the town with cobbled streets and small shops and everyone knowing each other. Or the garden with its green grass and the sunlight and pretty magnolia flowers. Or the scenes with the fountain with its relaxing water for a sense of calm wonderfully written. Or the scenes in moiras House with the use of the senses with taste and smell so strong its as if you’re actually there loved the sense of the novel starting straight in with the action, captivating the reader from the start. I also loved the use of Irish culture, with its food and traditions given the respext and love they deserve. Over a, a great read and I would give it five stars

Happily Ever After – Brothers of Camelot Style
By: Necie Navone
5 out of 5 stars

The story Happily Ever After – Brothers of Camelot Style by Necie Navone is an amazing book to read. It hooked me from the very beginning and didn’t let me go until the final page. I love reading about the characters of Fitz and Bella. They are a couple whose love is meant to be. They were separated for a while however with help from his Brothers they have been brought back together. I love reading about the bantering that goes back and forth between Fitz and Bella. They are about to get their Happy Ever After. I enjoyed reading about the interactions that the couple had with the Brothers and family. The story will keep your interest all the way through and is exciting to read. I have loved this series since the first book. I highly recommend both the series and this story. You will not be disappointed.

Orion's KissOrion’s Kiss by Claire Luana
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Orion’s Kiss by Claire Luana is an interesting and is a quick read. It is a YA paranormal story that is a twist on Greek mythology tales. Claire has a knack for writing unique stories and this one is no different. It is full of everything needed to make this read enjoyable, mystery and suspense, action and drama, danger and romance. There is also gods and seers and reincarnation. For me I would have like to see the story made in multiple POV’s, that is my preferred mode of a story being told but I do think it would have made the story that much stronger.

Revenge on her mind but when she actually comes face to face with her nemesis she realises that she has been looking at it all wrong.Orion’s perspective too.

Enjoy.

The Trouble with Paradise (Madeline Dawkins #4) by Cynthia Hamilton is another great mystery in this series. I have thoroughly enjoyed this series and this book is no different. Cynthia’s writing always engages the reader and takes them on a journey with wonderful and lovable characters. I love suspense and trying to work out where the story is going and as always there are some twists that surprise you.

I adore both Madeline and Mike and how connected they are and how they will do anything for each other. But I love they way the think and solve their mysteries. In this book they are helping two women who have been accused of murder. Will they be able to solve the cases before time runs out.

I highly recommend this book and this series .

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This book was loosely written around beauty and the beast but it was reversed. The H/Beau is the “sometimes” caring/sweet one that you couldn’t help but like when he finally make up his mind. The h/Bett is the one that is rough around the edges and has a lot of faults. I have to be honest and say it took a while for me to warm up to Bett. She was a hard character to like but once you squeezed past that rough exterior it was easier to like her. I liked watching these guys and seeing where their story was headed. The banter between the two was the best part of the story. Overall it was a nice story and I enjoyed it. I am looking forward to reading more books by this author and seeing what stories she puts out into the world.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Proper Irish (Jaded Lily Book 1) by Zeia Jameson is a five star novel. This novel will have you wrapped around the author’s little finger. I loved every minute of it. When we are introduced to Stella, she is almost maniacally busy and off kilter. I feel like that is my life sometimes so I love reading about other people whose lives rare more crazy than mine. When she meets Padraig, he is the worst person ever and is very offensive. As she continues to try to find him, she runs into him and continues to have unkind words with him, that is until they are finally able to get on common ground and let down their barriers. As she plans an event for the mayor’s wife, Padraig tells her she needs to have more of a true Irish flair. As they start to plan together, both are happy and excited to see where this leads.

My Rating: 5 of 5 stars

Blackbird’s Deliverance (Silent Secrets Series #4) by Lisette Kristensen was an action packed thrill ride that had me hooked from start to finish.

This series just keeps getting better and better. Short, detailed, and well written this wonder packs a punch. I loved the progression, the mystery, the action, and the everything. This book is probably my favourite so far, and I really hope it continues. This series is a connecting one, so I do highly suggest reading all the books in order. As there is background and action that if missed will lessen the impact of this book. And, they aren’t long, so you can get through them pretty easy.

Just know that this book, this series is worth your time and energy, it will have you biting your nails, flipping the pages, increase you blood pressure the have you screaming for more.

What else more can I say, that won’t spoil this read, short books like these are hard to review because just one small thing can ruin it. So yes this book gets my super high recommend and my stamp of approval.

Happy Reading

By: Kathryn Berla
My Rating: 4 of 5 stars

Beau and Bett by Kathy Berla was a sweet, cute retelling, that was both intriguing and fun.

My first read from this author I went in opened minded, as fairytale retellings are my favourite thing to read. I have to say for a fairly short read this book was well written, smooth and it delivered what it set out to. But I don’t quite know if it’s a retailing, as most of the elements I loved about Beauty and The Beast, weren’t there. I mean it took place on weekends, there wasn’t a lot of time to truly connect, and the romance, though sweet and realistic, did feel rushed.

The gender swap was neat and original, and brought a new element to the story. Beau was a fun MC, and I liked his voice and narrative. Bett was, okay, we get to know her and why she is the why she is, and all that jazz, but I felt like due to her grandmother being a nasty, you-know-what, and it took away from Bett being, you know, The Beast. For me there was no true redemption, and I think there was a little missed opportunity there.

Overall this book was a fun little read that had me hooked, and I look forward to more from this author. To end this book gets my super high recommedantion and my stamp of approval.

Happy Reading

5-Stars

Blackbird’s Deliverance (Silent Secrets Series Book 4) by Lisette Kristensen was an exciting , emotional, and action packed read. Once again Blackbird is on a mission but this time it involves her family. Her mother has been kidnapped. There is more going on than meets the eye though. I loved Blackbird in this novel and that the author allowed more emotion to show through with her operatives. There was a hint of romance in this novel as seen in the other books of the series but not enough to deter from all the action. This book was an easy read and I read it in one sitting. I highly recommend reading in in order from book one. This series is to die for and it is definitely one of my favorites.

Proper Irish is Book One in the Jaded Lily Series and my second book by this author. I did read these books out of order but I didn’t feel like I missed out on anything, I just gained more from it this way!

This author has a brilliant writing style that is descriptive, flowing and writes a brilliant storyline with some even better characters. I was totally captivated with this read, I couldn’t wait to see whether our two main characters Padraig & Stella get a HEA, but even if not I just loved following their journey in this read! I loved their connection and the interactions they had throughout.

I loved this book and cant wait to see what else will happen with this series. I highly recommend this read and everything else Zeia Jameson brings, you won’t be disappointed.

Bound by Via Mari is the second book in the Torzial Affair series. You really do need to read this series in order as it does follow the same characters.
Out of all the books I have read by this author for me this one has been the most emotional so far. I could really feel Jenny’s pain and the struggle that she is going through each day. I enjoyed her character on the first book but there was something in this book that just made me connect with her even more.
The story was really intense. I was sucked completely in to it and devoured the book in one sitting. I am excited to see what else is to come from this series.

This is the first book I have read from this author and now she has a new fan. I love a good enemy to lovers story but this talented author exceeded my expectations. This is the first book in the Jaded Lily series. I could not put this book down for anything. These characters drew me in right from the beginning. It only took me a few hours to devour this amazing book.

Stella is a well known event planner. She loves her job so much that is all she thinks about. Stella has to plan a party that can make or break her. She has to plan the St. Patrick’s Day ball for the mayor. Stella has no time for distractions until she runs into a handsome but rude stranger. She feels a connection to this man but she doesn’t understand why. Stella gets to know Padraig and she falls head over heels but they are totally different. She knows that this man is not right for her but what if he is? Will Stella take a chance on this bad boy or will she stay away from him like she should?

I absolutely loved this book. The storyline has it all romance, drama, and healing. You will fall in love with these characters right from the beginning. Stella is a very independent woman that wants a great career. She doesn’t want to be tied down to a man. Padraig is a broody Irishman that loves his mom. He doesn’t like the wealthy due to his past. Padraig is a jerk in the beginning but once you see his heart you will fall in love with him. These characters have some steamy scenes that will make your temperature rise. This talented author will have you at the edge of your seat until the end. I can’t wait to see what this author will write for us next.

Gumshoe And The Mysterious Mushrooms (Gumshoe Mysteries Book 1)Gumshoe And The Mysterious Mushrooms by Laura Hawks
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

 

Gumshoe and the Mysterious Mushrooms is the first book in the Gumshoe Mysteries series by Laura Hawks. I was taken with this book the moment I laid eyes on the beautiful cover- and as I had read several of Ms. Hawks’ books before, and had really enjoyed them, getting this one was a no-brainer.
It is a YA mystery, with is a paranormal elements, action, adventure, humour, fun, and a bit of whimsy. The story was intriguing, even though it was a little predictable in parts, and even though it is targeted towards younger readers- I still really enjoyed it.
The characters are well developed, fully realised, quirky, and entirely interesting. This is a very original, fun, quick, and easy read- it has a pretty fast pace and a smooth flow- which enabled me to devour the book very quickly.
Ms. Hawks has always intrigued me with her clever storylines, and this story was no different. I loved meeting Mia, but particularly Gumshoe- who really stole the show.
My favourite of Ms. Hawks’ books, so far!

Thank you, Ms. Hawks!

The Fire God Tour (Moore Family Saga Book 3) By Michele Sims. Again I found myself completely drawn into the world this author has created. The characters are complex and highly entertaining. The story pulls readers in from page one, I knew I was in for a great read and that I’d be up way past my bedtime because I couldn’t put it down. Ari and Bella just have a special place in my heart now each of them apart are great characters but put them together and magic happens in word form. It’s well written and paced nicely.

Two Hearts Under Fire is the eighth book in the Two Hearts Wounded Warrior Romance series. It can be read as a standalone.

This story starts off at a quick pace and doesn’t slow down. It is full of suspense and mystery as Russ and Claire try to stay one step ahead of the people pursuing them. I enjoyed the way the Claire character was written. Even though she is on the run from an abusive ex, she is strong, resourceful, and can hold her own pretty well.

Two Hearts Under Fire is an entertaining read that will keep you hooked from the beginning.

A great read about crime. Johnny is an ex cop who still helps people out in bad situations. When an attractive young woman walks in with a strsnge demand and a large prize money, he can’t resist the job. But he soon realises that it is full of enemies and danger. Can he solve the mystery without getting hurt?
A great read. Well developed plot with twists and turns 33. Well developed characters like Johnny helping people and staying kind or Claire as mysterious but vulnerable underneath. Great cast of supporting characters like the feisty Katie or the supportive Mike.
I loved the visual detail throughout the novel like with the view over the city with its tall buildings beautiful under the sky Or the parking lot scene full of life and colour and people wonderfully written. Or the ocean palms and its room with a beach feel with greens and blues with comfortable furniture so vivid its as if you’re actually there.
The use of suspense was done well, with a mystery and details revolved slowly to keep you reading to find out what happened.
The main issue I would raise is that there were many long sentences at the start. These made it hard to get into the novel and which could have been resolved by a variety of sentence lengths to keep the reader engaged. High stakes and fast paced action made for a captivating read. Overall, a great read and I would give it four stars.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is loosely set along the Beauty and the Beast storyline. Although the roles are reversed here. I really didn’t see the Beast come out via dialogue or actions. Bett was a surprise to me. I expected her to be snotty, uptight and ungracious. She is none of those things. Beau was a nice guy and he was always looking at the good side.

I wish there waS more on his family that we are introduced to in the beginning. They all seemed so interesting. The chapters were very short and I felt the story moving along quickly that way. There did seem like a bit much of the second by second on some things. I wonder if it could have been glossed over to move the storyline along. This will be a good read for teens.

THE FIRE GOD TOUR is the third book in the “Moore Family Saga” series and while it can be read as a stand-alone, I think it would be a richer reading experience to read them in order. There is an overall arch to this series that carries important details.

This was my favorite book of the series. Watching how Miles/Ari is able to grow and mature (or catch up with his maturity) and see how he handles it all was a pleasure to read.

This is a series that is written pretty seamlessly. Introduction of new characters are timely and held my attention, the way the story ebbs and flows carries its own melody and overall is just an enjoyable series to read.

5 ++++ Stars

I wish I could explain why I love this authors writing so much but I can’t find the words…For the record I do not usually read books like this but this author has converted me and I just can’t get enough. This like all the others was a super fast read and no matter how slow I try to take it I literally can not put down the constant action and connection I have with these characters.

I felt deep within all of the feelings our Blackbird was feeling throughout this story and I want so much more…At the end of this one I literally yelled out loud NOOOO not yet, but it left me with hope that there will be more, it wasn’t a cliff hanger per say but when you have read all of these and get to this point it feels like one nonetheless.

I don’t know if this was my favorite so far because I’ve loved each one equally and can not wait to stick them all back to back and read them all over again!

Please please give us more of Blackbird and I still want more of Halo as well…**fingers crossed**

Loved it and can’t recommend reading this series enough…Read them in order…You wont get this book in the way you need to if you don’t know the whole story!

The story Captivity: A Paranormal Romance Novella (Captivity Book 1) by Sarah Biglow and Molly Zenk is a wonderful paranormal book. It pulls you in right from the beginning and I found myself not wanting to put it down until I had finished the last page. I liked the world-building that is done and also reading about the magical creatures that are introduced. I loved reading about Lorelei and Aiden. Lorelei is a siren who has been searching for the man that she loves. He was abducted. She finds him when on a mission to find an escaped phoenix. Aiden is free however has no memory of Lorelei and the time they were together. A deadly poison flows through his veins. What will the future hold for Aiden and Lorelei? Will they be able to restart their relationship? Will they get the cure for the poison? Read this book to find out what happens. I loved the characters of Lorelei and Aiden with each chapter that I read. Lorelei is a woman who has conflicted emotions and doesn’t get close to those around her. There is interesting and intriguing dialogue and the story makes me want to know more about all of the characters. Don’t miss out on a book that you won’t be able to put down. I highly recommend reading it.

This book is one of the best I’ve read in a long time. You get sucked into the characters lives and immediately fall in love. The Beauty and the Beast premise is normally tired and overdone, but this was written to perfection. The story clipped along at a good pace with enough hurry up and wait that you could REALLY feel Beaus plight. So many little side stories incorporated without a flaw. I am so hoping there’s a sequel coming! I can’t wait to read more about these characters and see their development. Well done. 5 stars.

The Girls across the Bay by Emerald O’Brien was an excellent mystery novel. I loved the two sisters Grace and Madigan. They were both very strong and determined females. The author did a magnificent job with their development and I loved the background she provided on them. I hate that they were separated for a time while in foster care while they were young but I felt it really helped play into their strength. I also really enjoyed the flow of this novel and descriptive scenery. I found it easy to place myself in the characters shoes to visualize what was happening. This novel is definitely worth the 5-stars and I highly recommend. I look forward to reading more from this author as well as from this series.

The Trouble With Paradise (A Madeline Dawkins Mystery Book 4) by Cynthia Hamilton was a hooking addicting read that had me flipping the pages.

In this fourth book we are given a new mystery, new twist, turns, and thrilling details. I was impressed with this latest book, it topped the last book, and I’m glad I stuck with this series. I loved the double murder mystery, the new and old characters, the way the story flowed, builded, and just fully engulfed you. Our MC, for me, was much more put together in this book. I did have some misgivings about her in the last book, but this one, she was everything I wanted and more. Overall this book, this series is worth the read. It’s full of hidden mysteries, new and old, and I love how it all ties back to that first book, making it realistic and fully engaging.

So please take my super high recommendation and my stamp of approval, that you need this book in your life.

Happy Reading
