Trouble’s Wedding Caper (Familiar Legacy Book 8) by Jen Talty – Review by Maura Harper

Trouble's Wedding CaperTrouble’s Wedding Caper by Jen Talty
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the 8th story in the Familiar Legacy series and I read this as a stand-alone. It’s the first book I’ve read by this author.

I would classify this as a “cozy mystery” as it features a cat named Trouble who helps solve mysteries. TROUBLE is the thread that connects all of the stories in the series. He’s a special cat and it took me a few chapters to realize it was the cat’s “voice” at the beginning of each chapter. Cute cute cute.

The dialog and banter is sweet and the cat is just a amazing “He’s obviously never wrangled with an intelligent feline before, much less a master detective skilled in all tactical forms” hehehe. Oh, btw, I read the cat with an English accent.

This is a story that moves quickly from beginning to end. It held my attention and while at times it was obvious, other times I was pleasantly surprised that I was wrong.

This is the type of book I would recommend to my mother’s elderly book club.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Surviving Grace: Book Five (Surviving Series) by Virginia Wine is a contemporary romantic suspense. This story was creative and a fabulous addition to the Surviving Series. The way the characters from the previous stories were brought together in this book, along with the emotional stance this story takes makes it riveting! The journey that Grace has to embark upon in this story as she attempts to live her life while also surpassing her past were well written. I found the style of this book was a pleasant change of pace. Overall, this series was excellent with each story tying into the theme of the series.

Feathers - A NovelFeathers – A Novel by Kylie Stewart
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Feathers – A Novel, by Kylie Stewart, was an emotionally raw read. This story is not all roses and fairy tales, but faces the dark, dingy and hard world that exists that we don’t often think of. The way Kylie Stewart wove that into the story was seamless and showcases the authors talent in creating an in depth story with strong emotional draws the reader in. Charlotte’s character is amazing, despite the obstacles and struggles within her life, she finds something to hold on to. I found Charlotte to be multi-dimensional and full of opportunity in this story, to find that the author fully dove into this and outdid herself. The tug and pull in the relationship between Charlotte and Hawk has the reader sitting on the edge of their seat waiting to see the string break and the aftermath that is inevitable. This story includes a cast of characters that are amazing!

Eight Steps: A friends to lovers romance by Taylor Sullivan – Review by Heather Bahm

Eight Steps to Alpha (Nerdy by Nature, #1)Eight Steps to Alpha by Taylor Sullivan
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Eight Steps, by Taylor Sullivan, is a friends to lovers romance. This coming of age/contemporary romance is an engaging story featuring two roommates that are also best friends. The unexpected occurs in this story and their dynamic begins to change. Elliot and Fe are magnetic in their friendship and the story flows at a reasonable pace. I found Fe’s character charming and willing to go that extra step for her best friend to turn his life around. Elliot was cute, I found him to be endearing and just wanted to hug him! The characters were fun, the story line was fulfilling and you could feel the chemistry where it needed to be. Overall, this was a solid story that was great to read!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Shattered Love is the first book in the Forever Us series by Nivia Borell. I wasn’t expecting this to be a too be continued story so I was surprised the closer I got to the end of this first installment.

Overall I like the story so far. There is a lot of back and forth, hot and cold emotions especially from Damien which did confuse me a time or two since the shift happened in the same sentence. But I totally get his anger and bitterness, though I do believe he could have gone about it a bit different.

Bria, was a hard character for me to connect to and I’m not sure why. She wasn’t a horrible person, but she was very closed off. As I type this out some of the reasons and motives fall into place. Why didn’t I see it sooner?

I’m invested so I will be adding the second book to my to be read stack. I really want to know what they do next.

Bound is the second book in the Torzial Affair series by Via Mari and the suspense doesn’t let up in this book. We learn so much more about Jenny and how her time with Ty was not a good thing.

Jenny just can’t seem to catch a break, she is dealing with one thing after another. How she is able to come through without being a hot mess I have no idea. Any one of those things would have left me a blubbering pile of tears.

Brian finally grows up! He exerts his dominance over Jenny and all of the messed situations they are all going through.

I love Matt. That is all. ?

I was very excited to read this second book in the Immortal Kindred series and I can say that I wasn’t
disappointed. I found that this book was a very good follow up to the first. I really found that the author’s
writing style really keeps the reader glued to the pages and eager to see what will happen next.

I really loved the chance to get to know Annie better. I found that the backstory really helped put a few pieces in place and was just the right fit to the first. I loved getting to know Annie and how she came to be who she was and how she came to become part of the family with Millie and Alexandre. The best part was getting to see how Thayer and Annie found one another and how they were meant to be. I found it really interesting to get to know Thayer as well with part of his past. I really was quite intrigued by the sort of cliffhanger ending and look forward to the third book in this series.

Surviving Grace by Virginia Wine is the fifth book in the Surviving series. This book cannot be read as a stand-alone, it does need to be read in order.
This novella is the last one in the series and what a way to end. I absolutely loved the poetry in the book and the emotional depth that it brought to the whole story. You were instantly immersed in the characters and their story.
Grace is one of those characters you are just drawn to. I wanted to read more about her and I wanted her to find her way.
This has been such a great series overall. I have enjoyed every moment, this book being no exception. I would definitely recommend this series to anyone.

Stepping It Up is book two in the Liberty Lawrence series by Bea Stevens. Even though this is the first book I have read by this author, and I have missed book one, I have read nothing but good feedback on this series, and knew I would enjoy it regardless of what order I read the books.

Libby is a reporter with a sassy, quirky outlook on life. She feels a bit isolated in her new job, and is having trouble connecting with colleagues and superiors. This story shines a light on so many dilemmas, starting a new job, trying to make a good impression on the bosses, finding love, and so much more. I had many moments of laughter, frustration on behalf of Libby, contentment, astonishment. I was constantly impressed, speechless and out of breath. Never did the author give me a moment without something dramatic to read. A never ending plethora of pleasure. 4 stars.

There be Demons Book 1 in the Andor Demon Wars Series is my first read from author M.K Theodoratus. This author has created a brilliantly fast paced, action packed read of the journey of four teens that discover and get out into a world where demons actually exist.
These characters are individual, strong characters that are relatable and enjoyable and brings even more depth to this fantasy read.

This book was a mentally visual read that as I was reading along I could picture the whole story in my mind as if I was really there. I was left on the edge of my seat numerous times and kept turning the pages to find out more! It had a great mixture of magic, mystery, danger and so much more which made this a brilliant first read from this author.

After this read, I’m sure M.K Theodoratus will become a go to author. I can’t wait to see what else is to happen in this new series, and will look forward to more.

Surviving Grace: Book Five ( Surviving Series)Surviving Grace: Book Five by Virginia Wine
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Surviving Grace is the 5th and final installment in the Surviving series by Virginia Wine. This final installment is not a full length novel whereas the first 4 are. Also, whereas the first 4 books can be read as a stand-alone, you need to read the 4th book, Hard As Steel before reading this novella. As this is such a fantastic series, I would recommend reading all 5 books, preferably in order as characters reoccur in subsequent books. If you read them out of order there would be spoilers.
We are first introduced to Grace in Hard As Steel (Steel and Nichole’s story), where she has been the victim of a sadistic abuser. Through therapy and her love of writing, Grace is slowly coming to terms with the years of abuse that she suffered. She is however still very mentally fragile.
We are also introduced to Will in Hard as Steel. He is the vain, cocky, player, immature brother of Nichole. He is exactly the type of man who Grace should avoid, but as circumstances mean that she is living with Nichole and Will, she can hardly avoid him. However, as they spend more and more time together, Grace starts to see a different side of Will that no one has seen before. Deep down, he is a very caring, gentle man who will do anything to help Grace overcome the demons from her past.
I also loved that we got to see a little insight into each of the couples from the previous books. What I didn’t like is that this series has come to an end. This series has had me gripped from the very beginning right through to the end. It is certainly a series that I will revisit and read again.

I just finished reading Caught in Make-Believe by Sharleen Scott (book 3 in the Caught series).

Samantha Dylan and Jace Colton have so much chemistry together, right from the start!
It almost leaps out from the pages!

I previously read the first 2 books in this series and I loved both of them.

Here is something that I wrote in my review of the second book :
“Although I was fully smitten and infatuated with Clay and Harlie – I have got to say that Tallie and Tom are now my new favorite couple (at least until the next book, haha).”

Well… Here I am, admitting that this third installment in this series has again, taken me to new heights!

Samantha and Jace have indeed become my new favorite – and this book had so many moments where I was trying to guess the end but I really didn’t see or anticipate where this book ended up taking me! What a wild ride!

Each book, was better than the last! How? I honestly don’t know as I thought the first 2 books were epic!

Sharleen Scott is an author that you should definitely subscribe to and look for.

Once I started to read the story, I fell in love with the scenery all over again. Seraphina is learning about herself. Seraphina has so much going on that she is trying to understand. Nathaniel is another character that will grab your attention. Overall, the story will grab you and take you away to Seraphina and Nathaniel’s world and you will not want to leave.

This story was full of everything I love in my books, I went through every feeling and emotion while reading and can not wait to reread this whole 2 series collection.

Not going to go into any details because it could ruin something for someone that hasnt read any of them yet, just take my advice and read them all, you won’t be sorry and you will find yourself having another author that joins your list of favorites and an automatic one click.

The one thing you dont do when you read any of this authors books is go in thinking you know how everything is going to go because she will show you the meaning of what a twist and a turn means and have you sitting there at the end going ..What just happened? She shows you that a twist doesn’t have to be explosive or a throw your kindle moment, she does it in a slow crawl where you have no idea it’s even happening.

I could not wait to get my hands on this story and that’s not surprising because this author has become an absolute one click for me, no thought goes in to my choosing its just see it, get excited, then it’s on my kindle.

I loved Flowers in December and at the end knew I needed more because something was happening and being implied and then it was done and my imagination took it from there. Many Thanks to Jane Suen for seeing this, and knowing that her readers needed more and then delivering.

So much was going on in this very short story but you never feel like anything was crammed in or get confused…She touched on many emotions and feelings and I’m just not going to give anything away so you will have to pick this story up, but please don’t start here, you must read Flowers in December first, this is where you will really get to know Connor Norton, and Tom.

Trust me…I’ve read every one of this authors books, she is a master with words and brilliant with putting them together to form what seems like simple stories that are so much more complex than they seem, I would love to sit and talk to her for a day I have a feeling I would come away rethinking many things.

Loved It..Love this author!!

Black Bullet is the second book in The Order of the Senary series by L.D. Rose. This is a wonderfully original (dark) paranormal romance with plenty of action, drama, violence, danger, and adventure. The world building in this story is first-rate! This was a really well written, multi-layered plot that kept me completely engrossed from start to finish.
We met Jonathan Kerr, who is a vampire, in the first book- but get to know him really well in this book. He’s a unique, interesting, confused, and tortured soul. Lawan Knight is a hybrid who had been held and tortured by vampires and was traumatized by the experience. So, what happens when these two tortured and haunted souls’ cross paths? You really should read all the intriguing details for yourself!
You don’t need to have read the first book in the series before starting this one, but I really recommend that you do because the first book gives so much back story and character introductions- with which would enhance your reading experience of this book.
I really felt for Jon and Lawan, and what they’d been through- their burden of pain was palpable.
A fantastic addition to the series, and my favourite, so far!

Thank you, Ms. Rose!

Feathers was an emotional 5 star read.

Right from the start I was pulled right in. Charlotte was in a living nightmare, she was sold by her mother’s boyfriend and was held captive by a local gang. What they would do to her was heartbreaking. Until one day she finds herself being taken to a home, where a woman has bought her, Mrs. Ames. There might be a girl of only fourteen standing before her, but that girl’s soul was dead.

At first she isn’t sure what to expect but she starts to let her guard down as she gets to know everyone. This is where she also meets Hawk, Mrs. Ames’s grandson.

Hawk sees it all the time, girls being saved by his grandmother. Using him to show them that not all men are bad. When he saw Charlotte the first time he was pulled in by her, she was different than the others. Hawk also has been deeply hurt, wondering why he was abandoned. Would my past strangle me and prove me damaged? – Hawk

Two souls desperate to trust, willing to fall, and hopelessly entwined by a string of fate.

These two end up developing a great connection. Hawk was so good to Charlotte. There is so much more to this great read. Your heart goes out to both of them and what they went through, these two were meant for each other in so many ways. Charlotte was a strong character. All of the secondary characters were great. I liked the ending but would love to see more from these two. I look forward to reading more from Kylie, she pulls you right in with her writing.
