Beneath the Surface (A Gray Ghost Novel Book 3) by Amy McKinley – Review by Elizabeth Sanchez

Beneath the Surface (Gray Ghost #3)Beneath the Surface by Amy McKinley
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Beneath the Surface, is book 3 in A Gray Ghost Novel by Amy McKinley, and it is just as good as the first 2 in the series. It has a perfect balance of romance, and suspense, with a mixture of mystery. I was a little confused at first, since I read book 2 months ago, but once I caught on to where this story picks up on the story line, I didn’t want to put it down. It takes place along the same timeline as Eye of the Storm, but that didn’t dawn on me until a good way into the story. The characters are wonderful, and I love that it has a strong lead female, and not someone to be swept off her feet. Hannah is tough and intense and I loved reading/watching the relationship between her and Jack. They both have quite the struggle between work and pleasure. I highly recommend this book, but you must read the others in the series first to understand what is going on.

This is the second book in this series and Climbing the Walls, book 1, is a must read before diving into this book. You will need that story to completely understand this book.

I thought I couldn’t feel any more deeply than I did with book 1 but this one proved me wrong. Darren and Lisa, where do I start. These two were spinning me in circles and im still a little lost.
I wanted to see the other children more than i did but otherwise this was a page turner, i had to know what came next and then it was over and I’m desperate to dive into book 3 to see where this goes!

Salvation: An Ash Park Prequel Novella (Ash Park, #0.5)Salvation: An Ash Park Prequel Novella by Meghan O’Flynn
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I shouldn’t be surprised that I enjoyed reading Salvation by Meghan O’Flynn. I have fallen in love with every single on of the books in this series, every character that has been introduced and every single plot line and twist. So, to say that I was excited to see Petrosky’s story, and how he came to be – is putting it mildly. I love that like with the other books, I couldn’t help but feeling the thrill in reading this book, or having to sit on the edge of my seat. I love that I wasn’t disappointed with this book, and am glad to say that like with the others – it’s a 5 Star book as well!!

The Shape of Trust (a Stand By Me novel Book 5) by Brinda Berry – Review by Elizabeth Sanchez

The Shape of Trust (Stand By Me, #5)The Shape of Trust by Brinda Berry
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The Shape of Trust is the 5th book in the Stand by Me Novel series by Brinda Berry, but it is the first of her books I have read. That being said, it can be read as a stand alone novel. I didn’t read the prior books, and I still thoroughly enjoyed it. The story is about a rich business owner, Webb, who suddenly discovers he has a daughter. Not only did he discover this when she was 5, but she was basically dropped off on his door step and he is left to figure things out. He know nothing about parenting, but quickly feels the parental bond and the need to protect her. An employee he has been crushing on, Lily, offers to help him. She quickly turns from bookstore employee to nanny and makes the transition seamlessly. She is great with kids, having taken care of her siblings, but also uses the opportunity to her advantage. Webb is forced to spend time with her, and she pushes their relationship to the next level. The characters have good chemistry, but the book is definitely more than just romance. It touches on feelings of love, trust, and friendship. I was hooked and will read more from this author moving forward.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Salvation:An Ash Park Prequel Novella was a great 5 star read.

Ed is a patrol officer who meets Heather during a prostitution sting. There was something about her that tugged at his heart strings and he ended up falling in love with her.

While out on patrol one night Ed’s whole world gets turned upside down. They come across some men covered in blood, when they search for a victim Ed is shocked at who they find, Heather. Her lifeless body brings Ed to his knees, my heart just broke for him at that moment.

Ed has so many unanswered questions and when another body shows up with some similar connections to Heather things get interesting. Will Ed risk his career to find the killer(s)? Will he get justice for the victims?

Overall this was a great edge of your seat thrilling read. My emotions were all over the place and my heart went out to Ed and the emotions he went through. I had so many thoughts on who the killer could be, I love books that keep you guessing at every turn. All the secondary characters were great. Meghan O’Flynn does a great job of pulling you in with her writing, I look forward to reading more from her.

A Suitable Affair (The Macalisters Book 1) by Erica Taylor – Review by Emma Morreale

A Suitable Affair (The Macalisters, #1)A Suitable Affair by Erica Taylor
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The story of Susanna and Ian is filled with intrigue, passion, and bold decisions. Some of those decisions, however bold they may be, made me want to scream “How can someone so smart be so dense?!” But that makes for better reading.
Susanna is being courted by a man called Riverton and he has the personality of wet paper. The first time he shows a genuine emotion is when Susanna almost gets trampled by a horse. The flash of pure hatred at the rider, but oddly not the situation, is on his face for such a brief moment that Susanna thinks she imagined it.
Ian, the ill tempered lord riding the horse, hold Riverton responsible for the death of his sister and makes a quick judgement about the woman currently being courted by the man he hates.
I am always fascinated by the absurdity of social rules and norms in the 1800’s or so and I’m excited to start the next book and read more about the plethora of great characters Erica Taylor has created.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The Future Memoir of Anne Jones: A Time Travel Romance with a Splash of Magic by Alex Bailey is a very unique story. Close your eyes and picture Stepford Wives in the world of Premonition (I hope you have seen both movies so you get an inclination of what I mean!). I loved both movies so it is not a far stretch that I also liked this story.
This unique story is written in a letter form – Alex is sending a letter to her sister telling her the story of her friend Ann Jones who had a vision of her husband dying … it feels like a dream at times (imagine yourself being fed up with your life and then imagining what your life would be like if …). It is a fun story, I have never read anything remotely similar to it and it entertains the heck out of you! It has a bunch of intriguing characters that keep you guessing and thinking what will happen next.
I did feel that the story was a bit slow to take off but after couple of chapters you get sucked in and will be let out only when you get to the end so put aside some time when you pick up the story as the ‘future is waiting for you!”

Pandora's Poison (Hart & Cole Book 2)Pandora’s Poison by Sacha T. Y. Fortuné
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

PANDORA’S POISON is book 2 in the Hart & Cole Series and I strongly recommend reading the first before diving into this story. I don’t recommend this as a stand-alone. I went into this series blind, based on the cover image alone and it has not been what I thought it would be.

This is such a complex story. It is multi-dimensional and complex, just like life, and as we see both sides of the story (it’s told in dual pov) it gave me insight as to what made them tick and be who they are.

This is not a light and fluffy series. It’s detailed and dark as well as refreshing that it’s not the same old “meet-cute, first kiss, HEA” kind of story. This series doesn’t necessarily follow a formula which makes it interesting. I wasn’t sure what to expect and I’m glad I didn’t have any preconceived notions.

I recommend this story, this series and this author.

Not So Broken (Love Grows Series, # 1)Not So Broken by Renee Regent
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Not So Broken by Renee Regent is book one in the Love Grows Series. This is a story about getting a second chance at life and love, it revolves around Gibson and Sacha. This story has a bit of it all sadness, loss, mourning mixed with acceptance, love and moving on when you get a second chance. I liked Gibson he was down to earth and realistic in his behavior and reactions. Sacha I both liked and didn’t, I didn’t agree with all of her decisions but I understood her reasoning. Not So Broken is told in alternating point of view through Gibson and Sacha so you get both sides of the story as it’s happening.

Nothing But Trouble (Irresistible Billionaires #1)Nothing But Trouble by Ashley Bostock
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I have enjoyed all of this author’s stories and this was no exception. NOTHING BUT TROUBLE was quick and witty and the relationship between the H and his grandmother made me smile. “Yes, Mr. Vilander?” Michael smiled. “You don’t have to call me that. I know you mean well, but it still sounds weird coming from you.”… When he offered to hire his grandmother, she had agreed only on the condition of professionalism – down to her calling him Mr. Vilander and he calling her Regina. It didn’t make it any less weird, still.

This story is a classic romance; super sweet moments, moments that pack a little heat, redemption, revenge (light hearted, of course) and swoon worthy romantic moments. There are also feelings – oh the feels. There are so many things I have highlighted as good quotes for a review, but I now realize that I would just be telling you the whole story, and that’s NOT the point of a review.

I recommend this book and I very much enjoyed listening to the playlist. I always enjoy books come with a playlist – it’s a great way to revisit favorites or find new music.

I look forward to reading more in this series in the future.

Content warning: Contains adult content, language, and scenes that may not be suitable for all audiences.

Hard as Steel is the book four in the Surviving Series by Virginia Wine and this book is not a read alone story as the characters do carry from the previous books. I love the way Ms. Wine writes her characters as if they are my friends in real life. I was pulled into this story from the first paragraph until the last word. Hard as Steel has some adult content that may not be for everyone and I found myself having some trouble getting through a couple of scenes but I am glad I did not give up. On the other hand there is some good times as well, there is mystery, love, comedy, suspense and romance. I recommend reading this story especially if you have read the other books.

This is the prequel to the Ash Park series and I have to say that I enjoyed the chance to get to see the
beginning of Petrosky’s story. This book really helps set up the series. I found that the author has a unique style and brings the characters to life. I couldn’t put this book down.

I really like the opportunity to see what helped to mold Petrosky into the detective and man he became. I found this book to be a real good addition to the series and helps to really put things in perspective. I really found myself going through the emotions as Petrosky does experiences them. I found that the twists in this book really add to the intrigue and drama. I would definitely read more from this author in the future.

I loved the main characters and I loved how obviously compatible they were. You could feel the chemistry between them.

Nothing But Trouble by Ashley Bostock is the first book in the Irresistible Billionaire series. The story follows Michael Vilander who has created a matchmaking website. When he needs a date he resorts to making a fake profile. Sophia Baldwin responds to the profile. I liked the story and where this matchmaking led Michael and Sophia. The story was good overall but a few places dragged. I was not taken in by the characters at the beginning but grew to want to know their story and where it was going. Overall, this was a good story and kept me entertained. I look forward to reading more in this series.

Deepest Midnight: Book 1 of the Immortal Kindred Series
By Clara Winter
Rated 4 stars

This is a story of vampires or immortals. I was glad to pick this up because it’s been a bit since I was able to indulge myself. I was a bit shocked over this story. It was not what I expected it to be. It starts off at a nice pace as we are Introduced to the characters. We meet a few humans and then everything goes haywire. Half way through there is A lot of memory sharing and inner thinking. I got a bit bored at that point. Millicent is Way overthinking the situation (I know she is a different vampire but still) It picks back up near the end for a smashing conclusion.

Vampires are my second fav paranormal story. So I have read a lot. I felt this had a some holes in it. With them being together for 240 years I would think they would know a lot more about vampires than what was led to believe. I enjoyed the story of how Alexandre enticed Millicent to him. The relationship with the human and between the 3 vampires were lovely adds to the story. Overall this is a short look into the current life of a few vamps with some flashbacks to help explain a few things. I enjoyed the explanation of the title. Very interesting and perfect! I liked this…yes i had a few issues but it is a good story and held my interest. I read it fairly quickly and the story did move along nicely. This is my first time reading this author. I am giving her second book in the series a read.

“The Future Memoir of Ann Jones” is a wildly imaginative story by Alex Bailey. It may take you a minute to get into the book, but do not give up! This creative story will keep you turning the pages and guessing until the very end! This was one of those stories you don’t want to put down simply because the story is so inventive and you just want to know what happens next! Ann is a wonderfully complex character who just moved to a new town that makes her question everyone and everything. I thoroughly enjoyed reading about her adventure, even if it did leave me with a few questions of my own! There were a few points that I was hoping would get explained in more detail but didn’t, but that didn’t stop me from enjoying this book. So, I give “The Future Memoir of Ann Jones” four stars!

Pandora’s Poison is book two in Hart and Cole series by Sacha Fortune. This series is amazing and is a must read. I was so excited to read the book and was not disappointed. Book 2 you get to learn more about Darren and Luisa. I was really surprised how much I ended up liking Darren. His Charter is really great. Him and his wife Luisa are having a ruff relationship with some issues and he is being wonderful and trying to work things out although he’s far from perfect I feel Luisa is lucky to have him. Luisa has been a stay at home mom for a few years and Darren is a workaholic so she was taking care of 3 kids on her own and dealing with some issues herself and not having her husband around played a big role in the way things played. This amazing series will keep you engrossed and you wont be able to stop reading!! I can not wait to read book 3!!!! So many amazing people in her books I don’t want this Series to end she could write 12 books in this series and no one would be tired of reading about them. The only issue with Pandora’s Poison ending is having to wait for book 3 to come out 🙂

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I give Deepest Midnight: Book One of the Immortal Kindred Series by Clara Winter, 4 stars.

Millicent is a vampire that has been around for over two centuries. And she has been grieving the whole time. In fact, she has not been happy since she was mortal and was truly in love. But that ended up being short lived. Now she has met man who reminds her so much of him. But is it this man the one she loves or just the memory of her lost love? Plus he is human. If she wants a long relationship, she must tell him. Will it ever work?

This a paranormal romance with some suspense thrown in. There are flashbacks to tell you more of Millicent’s mortal life plus much going on in modern day. There at the relationships with her immortal family, as well as interacting with humans. She struggles daily. This book was okay to start with, but it gets quite good with the twists and turns you won’t see coming. Plus an angle that I won’t give away that I have not seen in vampire stories before.

I was intrigued with this book and I highly recommend it to those who love vampires and interesting stories.

The Future Memoir of Ann Jones was a really refreshing read. When I first read the blurb I wasn’t quite sure it would be a book I would enjoy but I decided to give it a go and it is exactly a described – a time travel romance with a splash of magic! It really was great to read. I found myself captivated by the story straight away, I liked that I wasn’t sure what was going to happen and as Alex Bailey is a new to me author I wasn’t sure how the book would be written. The author had a really great engaging and very imaginative writing style which suited the story perfectly. It did take me a little time to understand what was going on but that just added to the intrigue of this book. The characters in the story were really great and there were definitely some great humorous moments that were very entertaining.
I definitely recommend this book and would love to read more from this author again in the future.

Once again, this author has left me at a loss for words! Pandora’s Poison is the second book in the Hart & Cole series, a series that absolutely must be read in order, this book cannot be read as a standalone.

Just like the first book this one is captivating, addicting, raw, emotional, heart-wrenching, soul-sucking and just unbelievably phenomenal! I’ve never had a book affect me in quite the way that this one has, I have felt so invested in these characters from the beginning as the story is written with so much detail that it feels like I’m right with there with them every step of the way.

This author has quickly made her way to the top of my list of favorites so quickly and I honestly couldn’t recommend this series enough! It’s one of the best I’ve EVER read, I cannot wait to dive into book 3 as soon as possible to find out how everything will play out!

My first read by this author and Holy Moly what a read…I’m not a deeply religious person as far as the different religions, but I’m a sincere Christian and I completely appreciated this author sharing this story. It had me asking myself a lot of questions, some I really didn’t have answers to and others I felt like I was on the same page as this author.

I read this in about an hour and spent a bit of time after with many thoughts going through my head. As far as the writing style this author has, I loved it…Every word flowed perfectly and smoothly and I’m really looking forward to looking into her other books especially Jane…I really must read that book.

Thank you Miss Onuorah for sharing this story, I can not imagine it was easy to write but I am so thankful I was able to read it!

I enjoyed how the author told things that way they are and didn’t beat around the bush or try to minimize things. I found myself looking at my faith and relationship with Him in a different way. I enjoyed the personal experiences that the author gave and how she reacted to the good and bad times. It is a story that held my interest from the start to the ending page.

The story What She Lost and Found by M.L. Garcia is a wonderful book that I loved reading. It is a story that hooked me in from the beginning and didn’t let go until the ending page. It is an emotional journey that I found both heartbreaking and heartwarming. I loved reading about the character of Daniela Franco. She is someone who because of the past doesn’t trust easily and is careful who she lets into her life. Her journey has her taking chances of building trust and includes the possibility of finding love. Reading about how Daniela feels is at times sad however there are other times that have her experiencing happiness. How will Daniela cope when secrets from the past begin to resurface? Read this book to find out. This story includes emotional dialogue. My emotions went up and down the entire time I read the story. I found myself angry and sad about some situations that happen. There are other times where you can’t help but feel the good emotions and hope that Daniela has. The story has additional characters that are introduced and I enjoyed reading about the part they play in Daniela’s life and their interactions with her. The story flows smoothly and was a joy to read. This is a book that touches the heart and has amazing characters. Don’t miss out on reading it. I would highly recommend it.

The story Trouble’s Wedding Caper (Familiar Legacy Book 8) by Jen Talty is a wonderful book that I loved reading. It has both mystery and romance. It hooked me in right from the beginning and I didn’t want to put it down until I had read the final page. I loved reading about the characters of Annabel Wilder and Sheriff Ethan Farris. Annabel is a woman who is beautiful and independent. She is a treasure hunter and has found wonderful things when she bids and wins a storage unit. She soon finds herself caught up in an investigation headed by Ethan. Ethan shows himself to be protective of Annabel. Danger follows the investigation into a rash of wedding burglaries. Will Ethan be able to solve the burglaries? How much danger is Annabel in? Will Trouble, the black cat, help Ethan with his investigation? There is an attraction between Annabel and Ethan. Will they act on their feelings for each other? Read this book to find out. This is a story that at times had me wondering what was going to happen next. I felt like I was putting together a puzzle in order to find out the guilty one. I felt a connection with both Annabel and Ethan and grew to care about them with each chapter that I read. I wanted them to find happiness. I also loved the character of Trouble. His quick thinking and wit brought a smile to my face. Don’t miss out on a wonderful story that has amazing characters. I would highly recommend reading it.

Rainy Day Lovers (The Rocklyns Book 3) by Alicia Street – Review by Karyn Taylor

Rainy Day Lovers (The Rocklyns Book 3)Rainy Day Lovers by Alicia Street
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Rainy Day Lovers is the 3rd book in the Rocklyns series by Alicia Street. Each book in the series can be read as a stand-alone. This is the first book I have read by this author and if this book is anything to go by, I’ll be reading more.
Rainy Day Lovers is a short read (120 pages) but there’s so much packed into those 120 pages. It’s a heart-warming story which shows that if someone really believes in you and encourages you, you can achieve great things.
Raina (Rainy) Rocklyn has a heart of gold and will do anything to help others. One such act of kindness totally changed the life of homeless teenager Robbie Malako when she saved him from a brutal attack. Robbie had been badly burned in a fire and was badly disfigured which lead him to be the subject of abuse and attack.
Years later Raina meets handsome plastic surgeon Roman Blake at a family wedding. There is an instant attraction between them but Roman brushes her off and acts very coldly towards her. Life has other plans and the 2 are forced to spend time together. Unknown to Rainy, Roman is actually Robbie. Not long after the incident with Rainy he was adopted by a plastic surgeon who totally transformed his life.
This is a beautiful story with 2 characters that I adored. If you are looking for a quick read that will make you all warm and fuzzy inside then Rainy Day Lovers is the book for you.
