Finding Juniper (Smoke Series Book 3) by by Sadia Ash
4 out of 5 Stars

This book is a continuation of a series. This is not a stand alone, and as a reader, I strongly advocate to read books in series order. This book is a whirlwind of emotion. Kyle and Juniper have been on a long journey. A long, hard journey. There are times when these two are like oil and water. Never will the two mix. The seem to clash more oven than they get along. Juniper has lost her faith and trust in Kyle. She has given her heart to him and because of this she is falling to pieces.

Kyle is a lost, broken soul. He feels that Juniper will never see anything good in him again but is he willing to try to change her mind?

This story is of love, forgiveness and heartbreak. This book is an amazing finish to this series. I read this from start to finish with no stop. I loved every minute of it and it left be breathless.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The Monsters Lover by Samantha MacLeod is a fantastical and gripping story that will keep you hooked all the way through. I knew from the moment I read the blurb that I would enjoy the book.
It was an interesting story that had me intrigued from the start. I couldn’t wait to find out what would happen – would Sol find a way out for herself, who was the stranger she can across?
This was a new author to me and I was blown away but her writing style. The pace was great and the characters were so interesting and diverse. I loved how easily it was to become a part of their journey. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and cannot wait to read more by this author.

A Tendency Dark and DangerousA Tendency Dark and Dangerous by Emmalyn Danvers
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

A tendency dark and dangerous by Emmalyn Danvers is a novel written in verse. I have never read a novel written in verse before nor have a read a book by this author before. I thought the book was well written. It really wasn’t my cup of tea if you know what I’m saying but, the author did a good job describing the scenes and the feelings.

Addictions come in all shapes and forms. One could be addicted to gambling, drugs, alcohol or even a person. In this book, Evangeline finds an addiction in this book that is hard to break. She seemed to have it all. A great job, a sweet, caring boyfriend and awesome friends. Is she willing to lose it all for her addiction?

Landon Kelly is a dark and mysterious person she meets at an art gallery. Her life changes when she meets him. She is living a double life but soon that will change. Will it be a happy ending or will she lose everything?

MOVIE STAR (21st Century Courtesan Book 2)MOVIE STAR by Pamela DuMond
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

MOVIE STAR by Pamela DuMond is the second book in the 21st Century Courtesan series. The story is well written and drew me in from the beginning. I recommend reading the first book in the series before reading this book. The story is about a courtesan who is paid by high end clientele to help them because they are broken in some form. This is a roller coaster of emotions and had me hoping that Jake Keller could be helped. I really enjoyed the build up and how the story concluded. I am looking forward for more in this series to see where the story will go. The secondary characters are also good and do not feel like a way to side track from the story. Everything fits together well.

I’m not entirely sure where to start with this review; it certainly evoked a whole host of emotions from me whilst reading it. It did take me a little time to get to use to the way in which the author had written it but it actually fitted the storyline quite well. I’m not sure I really got to know the characters all that well however I did really like them. I actually really felt for Evangeline, I think I could tell that she was desperately unhappy with her life but seemed like she wanted to please people until she had the opportunity to please herself for once. I did have this thing for Landon at the beginning of the story – however that didn’t really last all that long! I have to admit the author did an amazing job with the twists in the story because it absolutely did not go the way I had predicted at the start!
I was a little gutted when the story finished so I am hoping there will be more to come from this author! Her writing style was intriguing and engaging! I can’t wait to read more from her in the future.

Less You Know: Gripping Psychological Suspense (Ashes to Ashes #2) by Rowena Holloway – Review by Naomi McDonald

Less You Know (Ashes to Ashes #2)Less You Know by Rowena Holloway
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Less You Know is the second book in the Ashes to Ashes series. It is left open for the story to continue. I recommend reading the first book to get a solid background on the characters and the events that led up to the second book.

Less You Know is all over the place, and not in a bad way. The author has written the story in such a way that it keeps you guessing. Characters coming at you from all sides and misdirection (or is it?) keeps you hooked.

If you read the first book you will understand why I say this: at one point while reading Less You Know, I wanted to smack Charlotte and ask her what she was thinking. I mean, seriously. Oi vey! But that is part of the entertainment, watching the characters do both expected and unexpected things. After the developments in this book, I find myself liking Garner a little bit more. And Piers…what an (insert a colorful expletive here). Of course, with the way these stories are written, who knows how things will play out. I might end up changing my mind about any or all of the characters.

Intense. Suspense. Drama. Unanswered questions. Must have answers! Looking forward to the next book. (There better be a next book, lol)!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

 

The Perfect Duchess is the second book that I have read by this author and again it was enjoyable historical romance read. The author provides a richly detailed story that enabled me to imagine what I was reading, something that I love in particular with historical romance stories. The flow and pace of the story was good and I thought that author’s writing again was great. The story was easy to read and my interest was kept throughout.
I really liked the main characters, Clara and Andrew. For the time period I liked that Clara was independent and feisty – she was happy to take matters in her own hands at time. I really admired her tenacity at times!
Andrew was a little bit hard to read at times but I liked that I had to work hard to get to know him and understand him better. I could feel that there was this connection between the two of them despite what had happened in their past. I, personally, thought that they made a lovely couple and was rotting for them the whole way through.
Another enjoyable read from this author and I can’t wait to read more from her again!

Less You Know: gripping suspense (Ashes to Ashes Book 2) by Rowena Holloway – Review by Maura Harper

Less You Know (Ashes to Ashes #2)Less You Know by Rowena Holloway
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

LESS YOU KNOW is book 2 in the “Ashes to Ashes” Series and I’m not really sure it should be read as a stand-alone. There are a lot of references to book 1 AND if you aren’t used to the writing style AND lost on plot points, I think it would be a less enjoyable reading experience for you – and let’s face it… the point of reading is to have the best experience possible.

This is a multi-layered story with different threads that run throughout. It’s a mystery/suspense with twists and turns along the way. It’s one of those stories that I thought I had a handle on and then *poof* oh wait, there is something I missed. The story is fluid and, like with book 1, the timeline is well defined and told from multiple POV. Several times, I had to look back at the chapter headings to figure out what time it was and whose POV I was reading.

I’ve enjoyed watching the MC grow and find her voice and I would recommend this series (read in order, of course).

A Tendency Dark and Dangerous by Emmalyn Danvers

5 Stars

Sitting here wondering what in the world I just read…… Not even sure where to start with this review.

I have never read a book that was in the free-verse format and when I read the synopsis and it stated this it had me totally curious…Can I just say Holy Mackerel I loved this…I read it in a little over an hour, that was with a break and just focussing on the style I was completely impressed. It read so easy and so smooth and there were no little details that didn’t need to be there, I loved how it moved and I hope to read many more books like this.

Now onto the story itself…Ummmm ok, that didn’t go anywhere near like I thought it would, my jaw was on the floor and i sat just staring trying to wrap my head around it. I wanted to scream at Evangeline and I wanted to completely beat another character and shake another one and then I was laughing at others, this just had me a complete hot mess, but I wanted more when I finished. This was an awesome story and had me guessing till the very end.

Don’t let the free-verse turn you away from this book, it worked in every way it was supposed to in my opinion and I have already looked to see if this author has anything else available and I don’t see anything, so I’ll keep watching and hoping that she writes more because this was completely and sincerely Amazing!

A Tendency Dark and DangerousA Tendency Dark and Dangerous by Emmalyn Danvers
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

A Tendency Dark and Dangerous by Emmalyn Danvers is a dark romance with a twist. This story is told in free verse. I’ve never read a book that was written in free verse so it took a little bit to get used to it but once I did, I couldn’t put it down.

Evangeline has everything she could want, which is hard to believe after enduring her childhood but as far as appearances go, she has the perfect life. Good friends, great boyfriend, and a job that may land her a promotion, what more could she want. When she least expects it, she meets Landon Kelly and there is something about him that draws her in. Landon is persistent, dark and commanding. Surely, it’s only a matter of time before Evangeline gives in. The question is, what will happen when she does? Perfect isn’t so perfect anymore and as the reader, we are there to witness it all.

This book is so emotional, I felt all over the place. I can only imagine how Evangeline felt. This story is not a light read but it is so worth it. I highly suggest, even if you’ve never read a book in free verse, you give this book a chance!

Salvation: An Ash Park Prequel Novella (Ash Park, #0.5)
By Meghan O’Flynn
Rated 5 stars

This is a story of Ed Petrosky before he became a detective. His life was normal and he was happy…yes happy. Hard to imagine if you have read the other Ash Park novels. Anyway we learn some about why he is the way he becomes. Straight to the point, hard and a giver of no-Sh**. I enjoyed reading the look into Ed previous life.

The writing is smooth and as usual I was drawn to the story. The characters are smart and unforgiving. I struggled to figure out this “who-dunnit” so that is always a happy surprise for me when reading her stories.
Even though it’s a Novella..the author doesn’t skimp on the mystery or suspense. This can be read as a stand alone. I have read all the Ash Park novels and still couldn’t figure out this one!

Rainy Day Lovers (The Rocklyns Book 3)Rainy Day Lovers by Alicia Street
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This was the first time I have picked up a full length novel from Alicia Street on its own. I have only read stuff from her in an anthology before. I have enjoyed her writing in those settings so when I saw the eye catching cover and who it was by I went in blind not knowing what to expect. Now this is book three in a series, The Rocklyns, but I didn’t struggle to terribly reading it as a standalone. I would like to go back and read the other two though to get a better understanding of the supporting characters etc.

I adored our main characters though and they really were the shining stars of this novel. Raina and Roman, what is there to not love about these two. They are perfect for each other too. Ugh. Anyways… This is one contemporary romance that I just couldn’t get enough of, in fact that would be m only complaint! I felt this was so short! I could have had just a tad more, but it was fantastic nonetheless. Thanks for a fantastic read Ms. Street. Off to read books one and two of The Rocklyns!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Reading the Ash Park novels throughout 2018 was the favorite times of my dark twisted little thriller heart. Each and every one was a dirty little secret desire that I devoured and enjoyed way too much. In fact, all of Megan O’ Flynn’s novels do that to me actually. I can always count on her when I need a good twisty dark read.

Now with every book Of her Ash Park series I have left a glowing review saying how flabbergasted I was this woman could top the crazy and the great that was the book before it, but she delivered time and time again, and I was heartbroken when I thought it may have come to an end for the Ash Park stories. So to say I was excited when I saw Salvation pop up on my feed would simply be an understatement. I devoured this packed full 161 page novella in just a few short hours and was left dying for a reread of the the series again! LOL! If you haven’t gone and read them yet, do so, you won’t be disappointed!!

Salvation gives us the up close and personal, the nitty gritty, on Detective Edward Petrosky. He was always a favorite of mine throughout the series but seemed to leave a lot of unanswered questions about why he was the way he was… Well no more questions yall. O’Flynn gives and gives and twists the knife ever so perfectly. Of course I am not going to give to juicy gory details, for those you will have to one-click and devour this gem for yourself. You will fall in love I am sure and find yourself hooked! Thank you for this fantastic series Ms. O’Flynn! I can’t wait to see what will come next from you!!

By: Kimberly Packard
5 out of 5 stars

The story Vortex by Kimberly Packard is a wonderful book that I enjoyed reading. The story is both emotional and takes you on a high-speed ride with storm chasers. It at times had me on the edge of my seat wondering what was going to happen next. I loved reading about the character of Elaina Adams. She is strong, independent, and has a determination to get her doctorate. A memory has been awakened when she has a close encounter in a storm. She now finds herself looking for answers while putting herself in danger with each new storm she chases. Will Elaina find the answers that she seeks? There are also two other characters that play a part in this story. One of them is Seth Maddux. He is a man who is trying to get his career back on track. He also finds himself very attracted to Elaina. Robert Tucker or “Tuck” is a man that runs a storm chasing business. Because of betrayal, Elaina is forced to pair up with him. Tuck is a man that seems to be more out for himself, so I wondered what his motives were. This story has emotional and intense dialogue. It has times that are sad and heartbreaking. There are other times when the fast pace and danger that comes with chasing storms is felt. My emotions went up and down with the characters. Elaina is a character that I grew to care for with each chapter that I read. Don’t miss out on a story that will pull you in and won’t let go until the end. I would highly recommend reading it.

The story MOVIE STAR (21st Century Courtesan Book 2) by Pamela DuMond is a new adult/romance book. It is a story that hooked me in from the very beginning and didn’t let me go until the end. It is a book that has steamy/seductive scenes. There are also moments when I wondered what was going to happen next. The story kept me turning pages. One of the main characters is a 21st-century Courtesan. She is a woman who is beautiful, strong, and independent. She is someone who helps others. She is a character whose life is intriguing and complicated. Her current assignment is Jake Keller, a movie start that could be called broken. Will she be able to find out the truth behind why Jake has shut down? Read this story to find out. This book had my emotions going up and down the entire time I read it. I found Jake to be a character that could be described as kind, good-hearted, with a heavy burden. He is a character that I grew to care about and wished for him to be happy. There are additional characters that are included some of which I enjoyed reading about and others I had to wonder as to their agenda and motives. There is emotional and intense dialogue. The story flows smoothly and I found it a joy to read. This is the second book in a series and I loved it just as much as the first one. I am looking forward to reading the next story.

Ok so Beneath the Surface is the third book in the Gray Ghost series by Amy McKinley. I have had the pleasure of reading all the books so far. I honestly have to say I have yet to be disappointed. While the books can be read as a standalone, there is no reason why you shouldn’t start at the beginning. If you start reading this series, you are not going to want to stop until you have finished. As with the other books in this series we still have the action and romance. There is no way I could pick a favourite out of this series as all three books are as good as each other. Amy has given us an awesome series, I just love her storyline plots and the way she writes the characters. So here are the books so far in this series Book one Broken Circle, book two Eye of the Storm, book three Beneath the Surface and let’s not forget Moments that Define Us (Prequel Book 0). So, either just read Beneath the Surface or do yourself a favour and read all the books.

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

Beneath the Surface is book three in the Gray Ghost Series by Amy McKinley. This series is gripping, edgy, tense dramatics that delivers 5 star quality with every title. A mesmirising and dangerous dance into the dismal oits of society. It is also a delving into the minds, bodies and souls of Hannah and Jack. They are thrown together, and as an agent, had to endure a lot. A strong willed beauty, Hannah and Jack clash when thrown together, creating sparks heat  and passion galore.

Amy McKinley has produced another tantalising tale of love filled with danger, decadence and delight. The characters were bewitching, and they intertwine effortlessly with previous characters. Always easy to get list in, and never easy to put down. Beneath the Surface is a five star read that is best enjoyed after reading the first two books in the series. The only bad thing is when you reach the end and there are no more words, which then commences the nail biting intense wait for the next instalment.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This series has taken me by surprise. From the synopsis pieces immediately resonated. But still I was unsure if I would connect to the story. My doubts were immediately erased as soon as I read the first page. Dumond has created a world in this series, and maintained in this second installment, whereby the reader immediately dives headfirst into the plot and connects unabashedly to our main character. Masterfully written, this book stands on its own well but is best appreciated to the full when read as part of the series and in series order. Dumond has a unique voice and writing style that is easily followed but not lacking in rich flavor. Wonderfully done. I cannot wait to immerse myself in these pages again.

Emilio and Toni live in a rough time and both have been hurt in different ways. Though their souls are bent, they are not yet broken. In the story, they are placed in a position that could cost them everything. These are not two perfect people. Each has flaws and traumas, and they fight (sometimes with each other and other times for each other). I love how they change during the story!

This story has so much such as spacey adventure, contains both romantic love and familial love, action, and danger! It went from action to action, which kept me on my toes! I loved getting to know Gina and the crew! These characters really added to the story, and I really hope to get to read more about this motley crew.

He had everything but it was gone in a snap. He got lost in a system that fails even today. Raina is a beautiful person. She has done so much for people without the thought of getting anything in return. When their paths crossed the first time it was a miracle the second time fate. I liked how Roman grew into a more confident person after a while. Raina is perfect lol. I will be checking out more from this author. The writing style was smooth and simple.

Nope I couldn’t do it. I would refuse to do it. I couldn’t imagine someone asking me to get close to a tornado or hurricane. I don’t understand the thrill people get from being in danger. Elaina must have had a death wish. She was too eager to go into the middle of a storm. I didn’t like the way they put Heath’s life on her. She didn’t deserve it. But people say and do a lot when they grieve. Elaina has a lot of emotional and mental baggage and it made her stronger and more stubborn. Seth did a lot of soul searching and found his calling. The author developed the characters just right and it made the ending bitter sweet.

Climbing The Walls (Hart & Cole Book 1)
by Sacha T. Y. Fortuné
5 Stars

Climbing The Walls by Sacha T.Y. Fortune is the first installment of the Hart & Cole Series and it is a contemporary romance book. This is the story of Kris and Nicole, a married couple with children and how they deal with their day to day relationship. They are total polar opposites but you know what they say, opposites attract. Kris is a patient and caring person which would do anything for his family, even if it means doing more than his share. Nicole is beautiful and very is sexy, but an can be a total bitch. She always finds a way to use her sex appeal to get her way. She is realizing with time that her children always gravitate to their father, because she is a workaholic and is never home. She wants to become a better mother but she always allows her work and her writing to get in the way. These two have so much raw chemistry that when they clash, they clash hard, but find the way to makeup and sparks fly. Since the story is written in alternating POV, you always know how Kris & Nicole are feeling at that moment, whether it is anger, jealousy or happiness. There were times in the story that I got so frustrated with both due to their volatile relationship and how they treated each other so cruelly at times, it makes you wonder if they will be able to maintain their marriage with all the obstacles put in their way. I enjoyed reading this book and found myself at times pushing myself to read past my bedtime. I recommend this book and I definitely look forward to reading the rest of the series.

The Ash Park Series had to start somewhere. The Ed Petrosky we know and love had to be shaped by something in his past. Salvation explains how Ed came to be. Salvation keeps you guessing as to where and who the evil really is.

O’Flynn is a master of storytelling. My go to genre is usually romance, however, when-ever there’s an Ash Park story I am there, ready to read. Ed Petrosky is my favorite detective character.

This story is a quick read. Action packed from the start to the finish. I highly recommend this story and this entire series.

A Tendency Dark and Dangerous by Emmalyn Danvers is a dark and raw intriguing read. It is a quick read but it is a powerful story of temptation that is not good for the soul. A temptation that leads to a place where you don’t recognise yourself and what you have become. A temptation that you crave that you feel right down to your bones. A temptation that destroys your life. It is a story that toys with your emotions and shows that addictions come in many forms.

Evangeline has it all until she doesn’t. She has been tempted by the devil himself and destroyed everything she held dear, including her soul. Will she ever be able to find her way back from the black hole she finds herself in.

It is a uniquely written story that is so intense you can not stop reading.
