Paladin's Hell: Satan's Devils MC (Colorado Chapter) #1Paladin’s Hell: Satan’s Devils MC (Colorado Chapter) #1 by Manda Mellett
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

PALADIN’S HELL is part of the Satan’s Devil world written by Manda Mellett. Each story features a new M/C member while revisiting others that have had or will have their stories told. This is a new chapter of the original AZ club set in CO. Different weather, different state, different vibe. So many things to get used to.

The first story is one that began a long time ago (in the book world). Paladin and Jayden met several books ago so this is a long anticipated story. They have to relocate which is how we are introduced to the CO chapter of Satan’s Devils. In addition to Pal and Jay, we are introduced to this chapter of the club in it’s entirety. Each member and their role are described in detail so there is never any question as to who is who. It will be fun getting to know each of them as the series continues.

What I enjoyed about the story was the “mature couple”. True life situations are discussed that normally do not appear in books. Hot flashes may have been mentioned too many times, but they also happen too many times in real life 😉 The interplay between all of the characters kept the story moving along.

There are a couple of story lines to follow. The story contains a bit of suspense, budding romance, tragic backstories and long standing relationships.

I think this new series is going to be a good one and I am looking forward to reading Demon’s story next.

Rising Star by Susannah Nix
Rated 4 stars

This is a wonderful story with two characters who have heart. Alice is used to being invisible. She works in the background on a TV show. She is also working towards her PHD. In doing that she ran across an unsavory character who changed her outlook on men. Griffin is an actor and dang if I’m not impressed with him. I never realized what an actor goes through to look good on screen. When Alice eats junk food IN FRONT of him…the willpower?!?! Impressive! His reaction to dairy?? Orgasmic! When he tells Alice “I miss you more than dairy”. I couldn’t help smiling my face off.

This is my second book by Susannah Nix. I enjoyed this story and fell in love with these two characters. It seemed a bit slow at first but picked up fairly quickly. There are fun and quirky moments along with more serious ones. I did read it in one day so there is that. ….and i almost wanted to cry at the end. I’ll be keeping an eye out for her next book.

Surviving the Storm (Surviving Series Book 2)Surviving the Storm by Virginia Wine
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Surviving the Storm is the second book in Virginia Wine’s mind blowing Surviving Series. You should not read this story as a standalone as it has all the characters from the first book and you will feel at loss not knowing what had happened and how it all is linked!
Surviving the Storm gives us Alex’ story – Alex Kincaid Storm the third, who we met already in book one. A man who is NOT afraid of his feelings! A man that is the first to say that he is hurting, that he has found something that is so deep under his skin that he cannot imagine letting it go after only one night … And then we have Madison Perry, who is suffering but who still is able to recognize what it means to be truly loved and that just after one night …
The writer gives us insta love, suspense, action, drama, great chemistry, danger and secrets … so many secrets and lies … the story pulls you in and the characters won’t let you go! They bring you along on an emotional rollercoaster and there are moments when you feel that you want off and you simply do not have heart to read more as you experienced along with them what they were going through …
It is a great second book and as I have already read the fourth one (naughty me) then I know that the third one will blow us all out of water as well! Please keep on going and keep us gracing with more stories that remind us of our humanity and the power of love!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I give Hope’s Defeat (The Fated Book 3) by Angela McPherson, 4 stars.
**This review contains spoilers from previous books in the series.**

The evil darkness now took over Blain. Trinity doesn’t know what to do anymore. She promised to never stop. But so many Watchers have died trying to rescue him. So she decides to take matters into her own hands. But it’s not that easy. Melia was nothing compared to the new evil that is lurking. Cronus. An evil god who was locked away and now wants to come back and take over. But will Trinity give him what he wants just to get Blain back? If she does, then what?

I have enjoyed this series and this book is no exception. Trinity has really stepped up to take on the responsibilities required of her. But she still struggles. She is tired of everything getting worse. This makes her real and likable because she is not perfect. Her family and friends really play parts in this too. They have to accept what she really is and her role in all this. The people are what make this book and series. But the story is great too. One enemy has been defeated, but there is one even worse. A god. And the other gods cannot and will not help. This was an interesting addition to this book.

Overall, this was a great book and I highly recommend it to young adult and older lovers of fantasy and urban fantasy who also enjoy a strong female lead character.

A great read about fate. Theodora thinks she has it all happy in a new marriage with Sam. But fate deals her a hand when she feels ill and accidnelty finds her soul mate. Lyzander has a busy schedule as head boss of vampires and no time for a soul mate. But when fate deals him a hand in Theodora, will he take a chance of push her away?
A great read. Well developed plot with twists and turns. Well developed characters like Theodora standing up for herself but struggling with a new world or Lyzander harsh exterior but kind underneath. I loved how the story started straight into the action with the fight scenes. I loved the different take on vampires with their souls and soulmates adding to the vampire genre.
I loved the mix of fantasy with vampires and then realism of the business world and party scenes combined together beautifully. Overall, a great read and I would give it four stars

What an incredible start to a new series from author Manda Mellett. This read, Paladin’s Hell is book 1 in the Satan’s Devils MC Colorado Chapter and boy oh boy has it been an rollercoaster ride from start till finish. This author has an amazing writing style that pulls you in from the very beginning with the twists and turns, the danger, suspense and action throughout, You will be on the edge of your seat with the incredible plotline and amazing characters that bring passion, romance and an amazing connection.

With this being my first read from this author, I didn’t know what to expect, but I knew I would enjoy it just for the pure fact it was an MC Novel, but this author has opened my eyes to her writing and I can’t wait to see what else she does.
To make this read even better Manda Mellett, has written it in dual POV’s from various characters which make it even better to understand each character, their actions, their feelings. Jayden & Paladin’s story is real, raw, painful and a rollercoaster, but that being said they are connectable, real and strong but can their relationship and connection survive the ups & downs they are about to face?

This is a definite must read, that shouldn’t be missed! I can’t wait for the next one!

Life is definitely not better under the rule of the new emperor. Wren and her few friends are forced to flee Maradis. In her search for Lucas, she manages to gather an alliance with some new and old friends. They need to take back their city but the craziness has upped a notch putting her life at stake yet again. Will Wren be able to survive or will the evil finally win?

There were so many heart stopping moments in this book. You didn’t know who to trust. With many twists and turns, the author kept you on the edge of your seat. Like any war, there were losses and people had to make sacrifices. Some of them saddened me while others shocked me. This was an amazing conclusion to the Confectioner Chronicles. Though the ending satisfied me, I was a little upset. I enjoyed this series so much that I was sad to see it end. Thank you Ms Luana for bringing this world and these characters to life.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The Lies We Tell was a great 5 star read. I was pulled in right from the beginning and didn’t stop until I was done.

I’m Natalie Conner, and I’m a liar.

Natalie is a writer, we start in the very beginning with her as a runaway bride, leaving Jack behind. We then jump ahead to her at a party where she meets a hot british man, Collin who is also a writer and wants to be friends. We then jump ahead three years, she is now married to the brit and wondering where her life changed so much.

He doesn’t know he just fell in love with the queen of running

We continue to jump from past to present We get to see just how the relationship developed and how they got to where they were and where Natalie’s journey takes her from there. There are twists and turns and people from the past come back into Natalie’s life.

My emotions were all over the place. We get hot sex scenes, LOL moments, a huge betrayal, and so much more. My heart went out to Natalie and what she had to deal with. Up until the epilogue I wasn’t sure how this was going to end and I have to say I was surprised with where Jack, Natalie, Tabatha and Collin ended up in their lives. I was pulled right in by Brittany Butler’s writing and I look forward to reading more from her.

Surviving Jordan by Virginia Wine is the third book in the Surviving Series. This book can be read as a stand-alone but it would be advisable to read them in order to get the full level of detail.
For me this has been the best book of the series so far. It was interesting – full of secrets and intrigue. The author captured your attention effortlessly and immediately and keeps you immersed in the story all the way through.
I love how she develops her characters and the story, in both this book and the series. This is a brilliant series and one I would truly recommend.

This is the second book in the series and I have to admit that I was just as drawn in to this one as I was the first. I quite like the otherworldly tone to the book. The author has quite a unique world and style in which the reader is drawn into the world like you are there as it the drama unfolds.

I really felt drawn to Lara and her character. As the drama unfolds for her I was eager to see what would happen next. The drama unfolds in this world and I was going through all the emotions and drama as Lara went through it. I really like how the author was able to tie this book into the first and I cannot wait to be able to read more from this author and the series.

  1. The Crazy Yates by Kimberly Packard is a heartwarming short story. This book will draw you into the characters and have you invested in them in no time at all.
    Callie is a girl who just needs a break. But will she be able to find one?
    Not only Callie but her whole family is one that you cannot help but fall in love with. The authors managed to pack so much into this little book but it doesn’t at any point seem rushed. This is a great short story to lose yourself in easily.View all my reviews

A great read about growing up. Lara is a reckless and daring young girl. As a feathered folk, she seeks to protect her dying forest from invaders but never takes it seriously. When her master suddenly goes missing, Lara sets out to find her, thinking it will be like one of the great quest narratives she loves to read. But the world is full of surprises and dangers Lara never knew. existed. Can she survive it all and find her master?
A great read. Well developed plot with twists and turns that I just couldn’t put down. Well developed characters like Lara as bold and daring but vulnerable and childlike underneath or the master as the stern mentor figure.
I loved the visual detail throughout the novel with the sense of destruction with the burnt out trees and dead grass and ash with memories of what was there like the pink lake or the fresh wind for a sense of loss. And the wonderful magical sense of the mist and the moon later on for Lara as a source of unexpected happiness.
I loved the sense of the bildungsroman narrative as we watch Lara grow up and find her way through thinga. This along with the childlike nature of discovery and adventure was beautifully written. I also enjoyed the metanarratives with Lara’s vivid sense of imagination and were poignant in how reality can be harsher. Overall, a great read and I would give it five stars.

This was a great anthology with some fantastic stories – there is definitely something for everyone here in this collection. The two stories from this anthology that I am reviewing are Foxxy’s Christmas by Allyson R Abbott and A Kiss Under a Blue Christmas Moon by Tamara Ferguson.

Foxxy’s Christmas – Allyson R Abbott
This wonderful author never fails to entertain me with her wonderful writing and Christmas stories! I have read quite a few by her and I love them all. After I have finished reading them I always feel all warm and fuzzy inside and this one was no exception. The characters in the story were great and I could feel the wonderful connection that they had.

A Kiss Under a Blue Christmas Moon – Tamara Ferguson
I love a second chance romance story and one set at Christmas is always going to be a winner for me and this story was just that! I loved every second of it. I have read a few stories by this author and she never fails to drag me on into her stories straight away and she always creates characters that I instantly fall in love with.

A really great set of stories that I highly recommend!

This book stars with a bang. I love a really good mystery and this book delivers. This second installment in the Karina Cardinal series is just as good as the second. We see characters from the first novel and we are introduced to characters who are specific to this novel.
When Karina becomes the main suspect in the murder of a senator, she launches into her own Nancy Drew style of investigation to figure out who could be behind the murder of a Washington Senator and why they are trying to frame her. I won’t go into to many more details as I feel it will give away too much of the book, but if you are fans of John Grisham, and Nancy Drew/Hardy Brothers investigation, you will love this book.

I love this author so I was really excited to see that she had a new chapter of one of my favourite series coming out and it did not disappoint at all! She never fails to get my hooked into her stories within the first few pages and I know I am going to fall helplessly in love with her characters. The way the author has chosen to write this from a multiple point of view I honestly thought I was going to be confused but I wasn’t at all – it was really easy to follow and I felt like I got to understand all of the characters so much better. I got to see deeper into their friendships/relationships and feel the connections that they had. I think this definitely has to be my favourite book by this author so far and if you have read any of the Satan’s Devils stories then you will 100% love this new spin off series! I can’t wait for more!!

This was a short read about some really lovely characters. It didn’t take me long at all to get in this story and I really loved Callie. I could honestly feel that she had the weight of the world on her shoulders with everything that she had to do around the house and everything that she had been doing for her family for so many years. At times I easily forgot how young she actually was. It was pretty clear how much Callie’s family meant to her and so she did everything she could to try and support them in their time of need. I loved that the magic of Christmas shone through in this story and at a time where Callie really needed it! The ending to the story was really sweet and I would absolutely love to read more about this family again in the future.

I finished this book yesterday and had to let my mind process what I read before I wrote this review. This is my second book by this author and I think I have some of the same feelings as after finishing the first one I read. Definitely a great mystery involving some of the characters in this story and even though it had a whirlwind romance involved, the way it was written made it feel very real, not forced.

I lost my mother-in-law a few years back and our relationship was never the greatest since I took her youngest of 7 sons, it still made me wish I could hug her by the time I finished reading this story. I guess the only seriously confusing part was, why in the heck did it take Victoria so long to make the decisions she made. I wouldn’t have lasted a day!

I’m not going to go into any detail regarding this story..You have to read it to truly appreciate it, and I can absolutely see this book becoming a made for TV movie. The ending had me wanting to scream, throw my kindle, and cry all at the same time.

This author has become someone I look forward to reading. She messes with your mind and you don’t even realize it is happening while your reading. I Love That.

Can’t wait to see what she has in store for us next!

This was a one sitting read for me…Loved It!!

This book had me on the edge of my seat through most of the story. I cannot get enough of Trinity and Blain, I am so sad to see it come to an end. The author did an amazing job really connecting you to the story so that you feel invested as these characters grew and wrapped it up nicely. You really need to read the first two books in this series before this one because it all comes together as your reading. I cannot say enough wonderful things about this book and this series as a whole except to say that you must read it!!

Paladin's Hell: Satan's Devils MC (Colorado Chapter) #1Paladin’s Hell: Satan’s Devils MC (Colorado Chapter) #1 by Manda Mellett
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Paladin’s Hell is the first book in the Satan’s Devils Colorado Chapter series. Even though this story could be a standalone, I recommend reading books in the previous Satan’s Devils series to get more connected to the characters this book mentions. You’ll have a much better time understanding the club environment shift from Arizona to Colorado.

Even though this book didn’t grab me right away like other Satan’s Devils books I’ve read, it still turned out to be a pretty good read. It starts out a bit slow, but picks up the pace toward the middle and things get good. As with the other books I’ve read in the MC series, Paladin’s Hell deals with some heavy subject matter and may contain triggers for some people.

This book is kind of a bonus in that you get two stories in one. There is the main story of Paladin and Jay, but you also get to know the Colorado club president and his wife and how they ended up together. And for me, in some ways I felt like their story overshadowed Paladin and Jay’s a bit. It is so intense.

Wow Awakening of a Soul Keeper is the prequel to the Soul keeper series written by Ms. Dubh is amazing and my first read by her. I love these kind of series and this book intrigued me so I had to read this book and I was glad that I did. The characters are amazing especially since all of the crap they are going through. I love the quirks these characters have and the storyline is amazing.
Theodora is thrust into a dangerous world of powerful beings and surrounded by treachery, lies and violence, when she accidentally discovers not only is her husband’s boss a vampire, but she is also his soul keeper and fated mate.

Lyzander is the leader of all vampires the last thing needs or wants is his soul. With so much on the line he can’t afford to be anything but vengeful and Theodora’s presence jeopardizes everything he is.

Now forced to stick close to her unwanted mate, Theodora struggles to keep hold of her sanity and her marriage as she discovers who and what she really is.
This book had me hooked, and I can’t wait to dive into the rest of this series, that and… This powerhouse read ends on a powerful cliffhanger… So I need me the next book in this series.

This story does a lot of bouncing around. I was confused multiple times about which present or past we were In. The past and the present seemed to be very similar sometimes. Other than that….once I got going and Into the story it was riveting. I couldn’t stop reading or figure out which way things were going to end. I was shocked more than once over the turn of events. Certain characters had me liking them one minute…then not liking them the next.
This is a first time author for me. I am glad I picked this up and look forward to more from her. She engaged me and made me have differing opinion of the same characters. The story made me think. How long should grudges be held? They are not healthy but sometimes it’s hard to let things go. Natalie seems to do this fairly well but struggles in other areas. She tends to run away. But is that really solving the problem?

The Lies We Tell by Brittany Butler is one storyline that I did not know what to expect.  It was told in the past and the present and at times I wasn’t sure which was which but it  had me intrigued and I was unable to stop until I had devoured it all. The character  Natalie is all over the place but she had me in fits of laughter. I am not sure I wanted to  live inside her head. She’s a runner but the one thing she wants is the one thing we all  want. Many times she is forced to face her feelings when she doesn’t want to but the  ultimate betrayal maybe the best thing to happen to her.

The story The Lies We Tell by Brittany Butler is a new adult/romance book. I enjoyed reading about the character of Natalie Conner. As I read the story, she became someone that I could empathize with as issues have come forward in her life that is unexpected. I found myself caring about what happens to Natalie and wanted her to find happiness. My emotions went up and down the entire time that I read the book. I enjoyed reading the dialogue/interactions between Natalie and the other characters in the story. What does the future hold for Natalie? Read this book to find out. The story is told from Natalie’s and other character’s POV. As the book progresses, I found myself with a better understanding of each character’s feelings and views of what is happening. It is a story that is intriguing and pulled me in from the very beginning. The book has a smooth flow to it and I didn’t want to put it down until I had read the final page. It is a story I would recommend for others to read.

Hope's Defeat (The Fated #3)Hope’s Defeat by Angela McPherson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Hope’s Defeat is book three in the Fated series by Angela McPherson. It continues with Trinity, Blain and crew fighting to save the world and mankind. This story is so far from what I read on a regular basis, it makes my heart happy to read each word. The dramatic and ever present danger and violence just adds to the appeal and I always have to read this author’s work in one go.

As usual, the writing is so captivating, so ethereal, it draws a reader into this world and the experience is so unique, you are left wondering if that really happened. The lines are blurred between fantasy and reality. The escape into these stories is entire and solid. Nothing much else exists except these characters and their journey. Oh, and coffee to heighten the experience even more. Reading this story made me really happy and it is a book that is well worth a reread. 5 stars.

The Confectioner's Truth (Confectioner Chronicles Book 3)The Confectioner’s Truth by Claire Luana
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The Confectioner’s Truth is the third novel in the Confectioner Chronicles series. This is my fifth novel by this author.

Two weeks after the events of the second novel, Wren and her group are exploring new lands.

Going through a period of self-doubt, Wren has to come to terms with her previous bad decisions. She feels the weight of her loss and wonders what to do next. She has been a character that I have really enjoyed reading about. Her growth over the course of the three books has been amazing to read with me rooting for her and wondering how this story will end.

Wren has made a lot of decisions but now she has to pull herself together in order to save Alessa.

I can’t describe in words how this novel has made me feel. Feeling a maelstrom of emotions and sad to see this end but it was a satisfied ending.

For anyone looking for something new to read with an amazing premise and relatable characters, I highly recommend this.
