My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Snatching Dianna is book one in the Feisty Lawyers series by Seelie Kay. This author intrigued me with the storyline. I have not read any of Seelie Kay’s work, and I was delighted to find it was amazingly good. The writing style was really engaging for a reader, had excitement and thrilling suspenseful moments, and the characters blended effortlessly and provided a plethora of articulate actions and dramatic displays.

I love a good what happened drama and Snatching Dianna was an excellent example of a top quality suspense. I will definitely be reading more from this author and this series will be on my must read list. 5 stars.

Written in the Stars (Fallen Eagles MC Series Book 2)
By: T. Birmingham
5 out of 5 stars

The story Written in the Stars (Fallen Eagles MC Series Book 2) by T. Birmingham is a book with both suspense and romance. I loved reading it just as much as I did the first one. It is a story that draws you in and I found myself lost in the book until I had finished. There are page-turning moments which had me wondering what was going to happen next. There is a mystery that must be solved which will keep you guessing. This is also a story about romance and a connection that is felt by two of the characters. I loved reading about the characters of Davis “Eagle” Landon and Winter Markham. Eagle is a businessman. He is also the President of the Fallen Eagles MC. He gives a lot back to the community, especially veterans. He also is very attracted to Winter. Winter is a woman who owns her own business and has wonderful friends and family. Winter can feel lonely and like she is separate/apart. She also feels an attraction to Eagle. What does the future hold for Eagle and Winter? Will the sparks fly, and a serious relationship start? The Fallen Eagles have taken on a case involving a serial murderer. Those that are being murdered fit Winter’s description. How much danger is she in? Read this book to find out. I enjoyed reading about the additional characters that are in this story. Many of them were introduced in the first book in the series. There are plenty of interactions and bantering that goes on. I like the feeling of family and home that the story gives you as well as the close friendships that you read about. My emotions went up and down along with the characters and I found myself caring about what happens to them. This is a wonderful second book in the series and I look forward to reading the next one.

The Mother-in-Law
By: Judy Moore
5 out of 5 stars

The story The Mother-in-Law by Judy Moore is a book that I loved reading. It is suspenseful and had times when I was turning pages to find out what was going to happen next. I got hooked into the story early on and didn’t want to put it down until I had finished reading it. I enjoyed reading about the main character and how she is so happy when she marries. She is looking forward to the future. Then she meets her mother-in-law. From there she goes through many different emotions as she works to adapt and start her new life. This character is one that I could have empathy for as she starts to become overwhelmed and she begins to uncover secrets about her new family. She has doubts and suspicions. The mother-in-law in this story is harsh with her speech and makes life uncomfortable for those around her. This is a story that had me on the edge of my seat. There is intense dialogue and situations. If you are looking for a thrilling book to read, look no further.

Beats of the Heart by Charli B. Rose
5 out of 5 stars

This story ends in a cliffhanger and also contains friends-to-lovers with second chances, heartbreak, loss, friendship, stardom, heart-ache, emotion, drama, mystery, and more.
Beats of the Heart is the first book in Dawson and Izzy’s story written by Charli B. Rose and it’s the first book that I have read by this author. The characters are amazing and realistic and I loved their quirky ways. The plot was great and the descriptions of the places this author wrote about brought the story more realistic.
You could see pretty quickly Dawson love and his devotion. Izzy was a good heroine, trying to be supportive of her man’s career and dream while still solidifying her own identity. (Even when the insecurities would come out)…. What happened to Lizzie? Why did Dawson flake on Lizzie?

I would write more but I really don’t want to give anything away… I highly recommend this book and can’t wait to read book two…

Guilty Pleasures Volume 2 by Joyce McCarthy is a collection of short stories of the erotica genre that are guaranteed to stoke your fires from beginning to end. Filled with stories exploring lust, chance encounters, dark fantasies, and more this book is more than able to get every readers’ dark side ready to party.

From older woman/younger to quickies in bar bathrooms this book will rev your engine while still keeping your interest with the story underneath the steam.

When she comes home five years later she isn’t sure what to expect but it sure wasn’t the hostility from Leroy.

Eastern Shore Swingers Box Set (Fisher of Men, The Catch, Siren Call) by Phoebe Alexander – Review by Ashleigh Harrington

Eastern Shore Swingers Books 1-3 (Boxed Set)Eastern Shore Swingers Books 1-3 by Phoebe Alexander
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Eastern Shore Swingers Series by Phoebe Alexander is an erotic romance collection and is suggested for readers 18 and above. It is a series of suspense, erotic romance and mystery, and one that will keep you blushing from head to toe while being on the edge of your seat. I highly suggest that this series be read in order, even though each book can stand alone, start reading with Fisher of Men, The Catch and finally Siren Call. Each book is incredibly unique, but they all build on each other. If you are looking for a great series, as well as a fantastic author, this is a series that you need to jump on now.

Fisher of Men

Fisher of Men is part of a new series by Phoebe Alexander called East Shore Swingers, and I was initially drawn to this story because the heroine, Leah, comes from Nebraska which is close to my hometown. The religious background of Leah comes to blows with the lifestyle of our hero Cap, who leads a life full of parties and good times. Leah wants a life with Cap, having put her trust and heart with him, but their lifestyles will have to find a way to mesh to give them both the happy ending they want. I really wanted to like this book more, and I hope that the other books in this series will be better, but I just couldn’t get passed the character Leah and how childish she was about certain things. This is the first book that I have read by Alexander, and I will definitely pick up books of hers in the future but this one just wasn’t a great fit for me

The Catch

The Catch by Phoebe Alexander is the second book in her Eastern Shore Swingers Series and it just keeps getting better and better. Following the story of the secret club for those who like a taste of darkness with their nightlife, and this is where we find our main characters Paisley Parker and Calvin Mitchell. Paisley is new to Ocean City and loves working for the club, but didn’t realize just how much the club awakes something inside of her. There is a confidence booster that comes when she walks into the club, and the stares that she gets from the male patrons just makes her feel even sexier. When Paisley meets a man that is going to want everything from her, her heart and her history, will she be able to resist the temptation to lean on someone other than herself? Calvin is an all-around good guy, business owner, smart and hot as all get out. When he starts to pursue Paisley he isn’t shy about his intensions or about his ability to win over her body to get to her heart. The more that Paisley attempts to push him away the more that he stays with her, determined to get the girl that took his breathe away. When Paisley’s past comes back to get to her, she finds that he turns to Calvin for help and he is willing to risk it all to keep her safe. Is there a future in the cards for these two wounded lovers? Will Calvin be able to prove to Paisley that he is in this for the long haul? Can she trust him enough to fall for him? Alexander really knows how to pack a punch with this book! Her characters and storyline will pull you in from the very beginning and you will find yourself unable to get over these two long after the book ends. While this book can be read as a standalone I totally recommend reading the book in series order, as characters from other books do make cameo appearances. Plus you can never have too many books! I can’t wait to see how this series continues to grow!

Siren Call

Siren Call by Phoebe Alexander is the third book in her Eastern Shore Swingers series and let me just say this series just keeps getting better and better. Following the story of Jessie Martinez and Sirena Home, we are reintroduced to The Factory and all the characters from both Fisher of Men and The Catch (books 1 & 2 of this series) all make appearances. Jessie is a police officer, with a deep love and appreciation for all the uniform stands for. When her friends ask her to keep an eye on the newest swinger to the club, Sirena, Jessie sees no problem with it. But the problem is, the more time that Jessie spends around Sirena the more that she is attracted to her. When passions run high, Jessie and Sirena could be burned up by the flames. Each book in this series were so well written, including deep understanding of each person’s psyche and what drives them in the lifestyle that they are in. Alexander obviously did her research on swingers, made sure to give great details on her characters, the storyline and everything in between. Seeing a FF romance was a great twist, as there aren’t many out there that are this well written. I have had the pleasure of reading this entire series, and I can’t wait to see with Alexander takes this series in the future. If you are looking for a great FF romance, a story about love or even just a story outside of your normal reading this is one that you need to pick up

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I give Claiming Her Mates: Book One: (A paranormal shifter romance series) by Dia Cole, 4 stars.

Havana is just surviving. She never thought she would be stripping for a living, but it’s what she knows and she’s good at it. When a possible epidemic breaks out, she doesn’t know what to make of it. Then to make matters worse, three men who are hot enough to melt the North Pole walk into the club looking for her. They want to take her away, to safety they claim. Then they say they are doing this at her ex’s request. Should she really go with them? Is it really that bad? What does her lying creep of an ex want with her? And why is it she wants all three of the men who came for her? What happened to her resolve?

This is a great beginning to a series. It features many things that promise to be a hot and exciting series. I really like Havana. Down on her luck and no one to celebrate the holidays with, she is disheartened. But the men arrive, bringing excitement and possibilities with them. The men are great too. Each one is different but all appealing in their own way. Even if you are not big on multiple partners, you can understand where Havana is coming from. Although there is the constant struggle of each of the characters and their feelings, there is also the action of what is happening to those with virus. Plus the men having to obey both their alpha male and the sadistic Alpha female.

A hot paranormal romance with multiple partners, I highly recommend this book to those not afraid to read something different.

A Frothy Christmas Kiss by Allyson R. Abbott – Review by Emily Walsh

A Frothy Christmas KissA Frothy Christmas Kiss
ByAllyson R. Abbott
My Rating: 4 of 5 stars

A Frothy Christmas Kiss by Allyson R. Abbott is a sweet light hearted read, that shows how one misunderstanding, and lack of communication can derail an otherwise pretty straightforward situation.

The fourth book in the Christmas Kiss series we follow a new set of MC’s, and their journey towards that cheesy Christmas love we’ve all come to know and love. I will say that as much as I did enjoy this read, it was a little slow moving at the start, and that misunderstanding lasted way longer than it needed to. If i was in that situation I would have asked, right away what Dan situation was. I wasn’t digging the whole childhood best friend thing and his inability to take no for a answer. There are some just bridges not worth saving, just let it burn to the ground.

Outside of that, this story matches the rest and has the same detailed and polished writing from the other books. The characters were pretty okay, a little too dreamed up on the looks department, but otherwise they had pretty solid personalities and in the long run felt real to me. I love the steady progress between Kat and Dan, even if I wanted to slap both of them more then once. Believe me when you read this… and you will..you are going to want to slap them as well.

Overall this book gets my super high recommendation and my stamp of approval. It’s a light hearted, super cheesy read that will get all those good feels and, warms fuzzies turning.

Happy Reading

I have read plenty of books were the male is lead. But this is a teenage boy. There thought process is so weird and dangerous. They bond over the craziest moments. Jackson was low key nerdy. He was also adorable. I felt he learned and grew a lot throughout the story. Everyone that came and left his life had a purpose in being there. This was a good story that shows a kid going through life and making all the mistakes we make as kids. This was my first book by this author and definitely not my last.

As I have already reviewed these books separately, I’m going to give you a highlight from each.

Fisher of Men
“Man oh man, this book is, wow. I mean, you need to go into this series with a open mind, but this book. Wow. I’m kicking myself for not reading it sooner. Oh why am I all up in arms about this book.. well my friends, I’m not going to tell you cause there is just so much that needs to be experance for the first time, that telling you anything will ruin that delightful experience. ”

Siren Call
“This story was unique, but still no different then reading a romance with F/M romance. We all fall in love the same way, and this book not only showcases that but elevates it. I think it was because there was none of the super alpha male thing going one, and there was less stupid decisions that lead to misunderstanding. (You all know what I’m talking about). It was refreshing. ”

The Catch
“I have to tell you that, I really like Paisley as the lead MC. She’s a mature woman that has some immature tendencies. Strong, smart and not seeing the great storm that she is, we get to witness her ups, downs, and of course, putting a, to her, a shameful past to rest.”

As the a whole this collection is worth your time and energy, there are more books to this series, but these three is where it all starts and as I said, a must read. So please take my super high recommendation and my stamp of approval, that you will get sucked into this fantastical world.

Happy Reading

It is an emotional rollercoaster ride and I am left with mixed feelings as I feel somethings were left unanswered with the way it ended. What it the mystery that now surrounds Izzy?

How incredibly sad. To lose so much and then learn that your life is a lie. I hope to never experience what Eden does. Theo was a jerk at first he was real and didn’t lead females on but man he was a douche. I’ve never felt survivors guilt or the pain of losing a parent. From the authors words alone I felt their pain. This story was well written. The characters were developed greatly and were relatable. I happen to prefer older men so I understand Eden’s attraction to Theo. I think the author balanced the light moment and the sadder moments really well. This story is definitely worth the time it took to read.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

 

Hope’s Defeat is the thrilling conclusion (third book) to The Fated series by Angela McPherson. This book (and series) is in my top reads for this year and definitely one of my all-time favourites, ever! I adore this spellbinding fantasy- it has everything you could want in a riveting read, and if you love your fantasy/paranormal- then you are in for a real treat. The book has incredible paranormal elements, a bit of a twist on Greek Mythology, a Curse, Immortals, Gods & Goddesses, Light and dark, good vs evil, mystery, drama, destiny, action, adventure, suspense, danger, intrigue, magic, and romance- it will also keep you on the edge of your seat and leave you guessing the whole way through. This incredible story is woven around the legend of Pandora’s Box and it’s a wonderfully original and exciting read! As I said in my review of the first 2 books, this story/series definitely has a ‘Percy Jackson’ feel to it, and would definitely make a wonderful and exciting television series.
This story picks up 3 weeks after the intense events of the previous book. Trinity feels an enormous amount of guilt over what happened and blames herself. She feels like she’s let everyone down, especially Blain, as she wasn’t able to prevent what happened. But when events unfold, and Trinity is given the chance to be normal, will she take it- or embrace her fate?
GAH!!! I sooooo love this book/series soooo much. I really don’t want it to end!!! This book, being the conclusion, was the most intense and had some intense suspense and gripping action! It was also steamier than the other two books, as Trinity and Blain’s relationship matures and evolves.
The characters are really superb- so well developed and brought to ‘life’ by Ms. McPherson- they are fully realized individuals with their own personalities, quirks and flaws. They were so believable, and continued to mature, grow and develop as the story unfolded.
I really hope that this won’t be the last that we’ll see of these wonderful characters, and that we will get to revisit them again in the future!!!
As I’ve said before- Pure perfection!!!!
I CAN NOT WAIT to see what Ms. McPherson does next!

Thank You, Ms. McPherson!!

Guilty Pleasures Volume 2 by Joyce McCarthy – Review by Shannon Fowler

Guilty Pleasures Volume 2Guilty Pleasures Volume 2 by Joyce McCarthy
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

If you are looking to read about someone’s sexual adventures, you need to read this book. Brad is our main character and he likes women. In fact, he likes having sex with women. This book gives us five escapades with Brad and other women. They are quick reads. They are steamy reads. Some are even taboo. These stories had no real plot other than Brad’s bed post notches. I can recommend this book to those readers that need a quick and sexy read.

Claiming Her Mates (Claiming Her Mates Book 1) by Dia Cole – Review by Jessica Leombruno

Claiming Her Mates (Claiming Her Mates #1)Claiming Her Mates by Dia Cole
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Paranormal Romances are something that I haven’t read in quite some time but, Claiming Her Mates by Dia Cole has reminded me of why I use to read these books. This wolf shifter romance story kept me entertained with the suspense and mystery – I’m not crazy about the zombie part, that’s just me. (So I am not holding that against my review.) But the characters were so likable and swoon-worthy, that I want more.
The Romance Reader in me loved the chemistry between Havana and her men (Mason, Gabriel, and Liam). And don’t get me started on the steamy sexy moments – so yummy! This might have been my first book by Dia and I can’t wait to see what is going to happen next.

Claiming Her Mates: Book One: ( A paranormal shifter romance series ) by Dia Cole – Review by Heather Bass

Claiming Her Mates (Claiming Her Mates #1)Claiming Her Mates by Dia Cole
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is the first book I have read from this author and she blew my mind. I absolutely love Paranormal Romance but this author exceeded all my expectations. This is the first book of a new series and I can’t wait to see what happens next. You can’t help but to fall in love with all of these characters. I was drawn into this story on page one. The story takes you on a journey like no other. It only took me a few hours to devour this incredible book.

Havana is ready for the holidays but her friends are telling her that they can’t go to her party. She is sad but more turkey for her. Havana is finishing up her night at work but then three very hot men come looking for her. She is afraid that they are cops so she runs but she runs into danger. Havana has discovered that the new flu vaccine is turning all the humans into some type of monsters. She came very close to becoming a meal but one of the men saves her life. Havana now has to depend on Gabriel, Liam, and Mason with her life. She notices that something is off about them but what? Havana gets to know these men and she starts to develop feelings for them. Who will Havana choose and will they find a cure for this epidemic?

I absolutely loved this book. The story line has it all; hot romance, suspense, and mystery. You will fall in love with these characters right from the beginning. Havana is a very strong woman and she knows what she wants. She is not afraid of speaking her mind. The men in this book will make you swoon. They have their own personalities and you will fall in love with all of them. Gabriel is moody and dark but he treats Havana like a princess. Liam is beautiful and very humorous. Mason is a sweetheart that would do anything to make Havana smile. These characters have some steamy scenes that will make your toes curl. This talented author will have you at the edge of your seat until the end. I can’t wait to see what will happen to these unforgettable characters next.

The Debt Collector: An Underground Bad Boys Romance by India Kells – Review by Heather Bahm

The Debt Collector (An Underground Bad Boys Romance)The Debt Collector by India Kells
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The Debt Collector, an Underground Bad Boys Romance, by India Kells is a story rife with chemistry, mystery, allure and more. India Kells delivers a cast of characters that are detailed original with heart-stopping qualities. The Debt Collector touches on topics that some wish to avoid, but the way the author handled them within this story was well thought out and not overly done to cause distaste within the story. Truly a great story by an author that can deliver again and again.
