My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I really enjoyed this book. It follows the journey of Vee. A young girl who had a troubled start to life and winds up with a partner who plans to kill her.

She escapes her partner and with the help of her friend gets a job which leads her to become a famous spokesperson for a coffee company. Along with the fame and the travelling it also brings with it people who are set on ruining her and taking her life.

The first suspect is the x partner, along with her mothers x partner but the true culprit will surprise you. I was totally surprised and i didnt see it coming.

Its full of highs on her adventures and also lows as you relive her past, the loss of her parents and as she finds a way to live and survive on her own.

Don't Let Me (The Simplicit Duet #1)Don’t Let Me by Marie Skye
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I would like to find Ms. Skye and just maybe gently smack her. This is the first book I have read by this author and W-O-W! I loved her writing style and her frequent use of my favorite word the F word lol. The storyline flowed smoothly, and I found myself torn for each of the three main characters at one point or another. Damien, Jaxson, and Olivia, each have something that draws you in and makes you not only root for them but be conflicted. There was suspense, surprises, mouth dropping moments, and some dang hot steamy scenes. This author’s work kept me engaged from the first page to the last page and I can’t wait to read other books by her, but most of all I can not wait for the continuation of this story because I have so many thoughts on what might be coming next. Don’t Let Me by Marie Skye is one of my fave books so far this year.

Little Miss Eyes of BlueLittle Miss Eyes of Blue by Holly Tierney-Bedord
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The author thankfully has given us a glimpse into the backstory of a beloved character from a previous work in these pages. Veloura (Vee) takes on a journey of her childhood and past and provides us with context for the adult we love from “The Woman America Loves a Latte”. The author kept me guessing which sometimes can be difficult when a prequel is given to the reader following a book. I really enjoyed these pages and found myself reading it in one sitting without realizing it. Very well written and very enjoyable.

What an unexpectedly fantastic romp through the afterlife/green room/purgatory. Seriously, this was worthy of so much snorting laughter. You know you’ve found a keeper when a book touches your heart, and funny bone, and induces you toward an audible response to the pages you’ve read. Overall, this book does stand well on its own but the cleverness and originality are truly embraced and evidenced when the series is read in total. Loved it.

Flesh and Bone (Blood of Kaos Book 3) by Nesa Miller

Four Stars

Flesh and Bone was so thrilling to read. So many bonds and pain shared between people. The love and bond between Dar and Etain. They have something magical that us mere mortals can’t even dream of. Like most books I read I always find something that I want to change. Etain is a strong woman and I loved how the author made her dominant but soft. I wish I could change her blind loyalty. No matter who a person is they can do wrong. She needs to accept that people change and become someone we don’t recognize anymore. I wish to see more of Dar in action because the other characters made him seem fearless and ruthless. Overall I enjoyed the story. It was different and the world the author created addicting.

Book 2
By Heather Silvio
☆☆☆☆☆
Paranormal romance and suspense are what you will find in this story.

Evie Jones is a vampire with the desire to live her life as an immortal actress? She was once married so she learned to trust nobody. But then the night comes where she has to follow her heart. Even if they are human. She starts the investigation to find the person murdering women. And clear the name of an innocent man. Who is struggling with the death of his beloved.

I really enjoyed reading Heather Silvio’s paranormal story. So much suspense and so well written. I loved Evie and Ryan as they search for their happily ever after. Trust plays a big part of their romance, as well as trusting others. This series has become one of my favorites. I look forward the next book.

Temptation and Seduction by L.M. Mountford – Review by Maura Harper

Temptation and SeductionTemptation and Seduction by L.M. Mountford
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

3.5 stars

e•rot•i•ca
/əˈrädəkə/
noun
Literature or art intended to arouse sexual desire.

This is the first time I’ve ever read anything by this author and I’m not 100% sure it was the best way to be introduced. These were 5 excerpts from what are longer stories or full length novels. What initially drew me to the collection was that the author describes himself as the “Lord of Lust”. I was hoping for some of that humor to be written into the story, but the stories were simple glimpses into the “Lord’s” writing talent.

Each of the “stories” contained in this collection are very similar. A little bit of a set-up of the characters to get to know who they are and why they are in the story, then a very open door – descriptive “erotic” scene between two characters and then the end.

This is classified as erotica but I found it to be more slurpy and sloppy than erotic. To me, it seemed like director notes for a raunchy sex scene in porn.

While this collection of erotic is not my cup of tea, I always appreciate when a human opens themselves to the world of publishing to share their talent.

How this author expects me to complete full thoughts and sentences after this book, is beyond me right now!
This series MUST be read in order, all books pick up where the last left off.

Pandora’s Price follows the POV of Darren and Luisa again, and the continuation of the deal Darren made. The emotions packed into this book, made me feel like I was dealing with pregnancy hormones with the ups and downs and shocking moments.
I cannot express how much of a must read this series is, it’s something to experience for sure. And I can’t wait for the next book and getting to know those characters now.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Me and Cinderella (The Dirty Rooster Book 2) by Kelly Mooney is an excellent contemporary romance. Life has a way of setting individuals on a particular path regardless of how they may wish their lives would go. As we all know, the past cannot always remain there; sometimes it comes back for a reason that is worthwhile, yet in other ways it’s one we need to overcome and conquer. Remy and Eli are magnetic characters and it’s seen throughout their interactions despite the events that have occurred. Their story was brilliantly written and I could not get enough. The drama that was an unpleasant undertone in the story added additional depth and development to some of the characters that was well done. Another amazing story by Kelly Mooney!!

5 out of 5 Stars
I rarely give 5 star reviews and this one was worthy of all five stars. This suspenseful, comedy, romance novel checks all the boxes that you want in a book. Veloura, or Vee, has had a rough go at life. It seems that life is just determined to smack her around and when she is black and blue, it smacks her around some more.
When her fiancés terrible decision making has her looking for greener pastures, she lands (kind of haphazardly) into her dream job. The problem? She has no idea what she is doing. Tierney-Bedford is a master story writer and this book is no exception. The quirky characters, suspenseful plot and drama and comedy has me turning these pages as fast as my little fingers will flick. I highly recommend this book for readers of all genres!

The Reason Why, by Izzibella Beau, was an emotionally drawing story. Alabama is a female who hasn’t had an easy life, one full of effort, struggle and questions of self worth. Circumstances shake up her life and set her a path that could be a change that is desperately needed. My heart broke for Alabama in this story at the misfortune that has been evident in her life. Yet, I yearned for the change that was about to come and learning where she went from there. Adding Joshua and Hunter into the dynamics of this story and it shakes it up in some of the best ways. Truly a beautifully written story and I loved how the author brought all the characters together.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

A Person Could Disappear Here by Terri George is an amazing read. This story had me on the edge of my seat at points and trying to figure out all the puzzles. The story is told from two points of views. First, is Abbey, who has traveled to meet a man she met online. The second is from the view of Cristina. She is Abbey’s friend and is set to find Abbey when she doesn’t return from meeting the man. I will not say more about the plot specifically. Just know that this is an emotional read and the author put research in to get to the heart of the subject. I was kept wondering how everything would play out in the end. The subject is tough but I believe it was handled well and kept realistic. I am going to be on the lookout for more from this author in the future.

A Person Could Disappear HereA Person Could Disappear Here by Terri George
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Terri George is a new to me author and A Person Could Disappear Here was an okay read. This book had an amazing plot, however in my opinion was missing some very key elements. I found the author could have spent a few more minutes character building before jumping into the story with both feet first. I wasn’t as empathetic to the characters and their quest to find their missing British friend In the US as I could have been because I didn’t really know them or connect with them before their adventure. I also found it to be lacking any real action, and when you think kidnapping, you associate action with it. There was some action, but it was lacking excitement until closer to the end of the book. However there is definitely an element of suspense . What I did find awesome was the cross between British Dialect and American Dialect. Usually when I read a book like this, I have a hard time because I don’t know the meaning of all the words, and the grammar is funny. This didn’t happen this time. I was able to read cover to cover without Google Assistant. I really enjoyed that this book educated me a bit. It was evident in their search for their friend that the laws mentioned were researched and not fabricated. The twist at the end was unforeseen and probably the best part of the story! 4 out of 5 stars!

Cinderfella by Kristy Brown is a brilliant retelling of the classic Cinderella story. It is a reimagining that I have not read anything like before.
This whole story was written in a way to capture your heart. The characters were complex and interesting and yet had a sweet side to them. With every page I found myself becoming more invested in them.
The story I found to be unique and well written. I have read plenty of retellings of Cinderella and yet none before have been with the characters in reverse. For me this made the whole reading experience more exciting.
This was a thoroughly enjoyable book and one I would highly recommend.

Turning the Tides is book 5 in the Eastern Shore Swingers Series by author Phoebe Alexander. These books can be read as a standalone, as each book follows a new set of characters. Phoebe Alexander continues to wow me with her writing style, incredible plot/storylines and even better characters. Each time she writes another book I continually get captivated and drawn into each read and don’t want to put it down.

Turning the Tides tells us Luke & Connie’s story. This book has sexiness, its steamy theres action and of course an amazing connection between the two characters that you cant help but wish they get the HEA they both deserve. Both of these characters are relatable and lovable and when you are reading their journey, you feel as though you are there right alongside them living the story yourself.

This was another addicting read to this series and one that shouldn’t be missed! I can’t wait to read what else comes from this series and this author.

Just to warn you, the series MUST be read in order, none of this I-will-read-a-bit-here-and-there!

Sheila’s brother has her going on treasure hunts. These hunts are not always safe and there is concern for her. Hawk is there to keep Stella safe, but there are those out to get Stella. Will Hawk be able to keep Stella safe? Will Stella and her brother find the treasure? Will there be more secrets coming out of the closet?

Me And Cinderella is the 2nd book in the Dirty Rooster series by Kelly Mooney. Although characters from the first book Dirty Rooster return, these books can be read as a stand-alone. I had thoroughly enjoyed the first book and was looking forward to reading this one. It didn’t disappoint.
This is a lovely contemporary romance that draws you in from the very beginning and you won’t want to put it down. The characters in this book are so well written, you can’t help but feel every emotion they are going through.
Eli Young has returned to a home that he vowed never to return to. His dad is getting out of prison and Eli goes home to make sure that his younger siblings are ok, particularly 17 year old Brandon who is only weeks away from getting away too to start life at college.
What Eli didn’t expect to return to is that his little sister’s roommate is none other than the beautiful Remington (Remy), the one girl that Eli has never really got over. What’s worse is that the story starts on Remy’s wedding day.
This story will drag you through ever emotion possible. I’m sincerely hoping that there is more to come from the Dirty Rooster series as the first 2 books have been fantastic. Both definitely worth 5 stars from me.

He’s always had a thing for Remy but never acted on it until now. She’s always been considered off limits until now….

This is a book that has five stories that include plenty of steamy scenes that will make the temperature in the room rise. There is dirty talking, passion, desire, and lust.

As you read you are introduced to different characters who when together heat up the pages and make you reach for a glass of cold water. The stories are just the right length for the seduction and temptation that occurs. The stories are interesting, intriguing, and entertaining. Don’t miss out reading this book which will make you swoon and have you glued to its pages until you have read the last one. This book does have adult situations and content.
