Killmore by Martha Sweeney, Killmore book 1

5 stars

This was an interesting novel. The author really catches your attention with the opening chapters. I loved following Laurie after she goes into Witness protection. The relationship that develops between her and Aiden as the story progresses was entertaining, sweet, and funny. I loved his personality and his character. It was easy to get lost in the banter back and forth between him and Laurie. Her character was my favorite. She was very strong and independent. She demonstrated that she was able to take care of herself and be prepared for the worst. I hate that she had to go through so much in the beginning with her ex-husband. I loved the small family she built for herself though. I was surprised with the way the ending went. I did not expect what happened. I look forward to reading the next book in this series.

Felicity Found (Rogue Series Book 6)
By Lara Ward Cosio
Rated 5 stars!!

Another amazing heartfelt story by Lara Ward Cosio! I absolutely loved it! This book has it all! Love, lust, drama, betrayal and love. Yes I mentioned love again because these stories are full of love of spouse, friend and family. It astounds me how drawn I get to the story that I get irritated when I have to leave the book and….oh you know…live life. So I tend to power through as fast as I can to avoid interruptions. This leads to late night or all night reading or sneaking off just to finish this book.

It’s not until I open one of these books that I realize how much I miss these characters. I am easily drawn back into their lives and fervently hope and wish for things to turn out. At the time of reading book one (Tangled Up in You) and book two (Playing at Love) of the series I was thinking GAH too much information but now I realize how those books really made me a part of their lives. I am easily able to understand and know how, why and what these characters are talking about or feeling….like they are my family.

Although Conor really put me through the ringer in this book. One minute I was pleased with him then the next frustration beyond belief! His flirting and fantasies (Grr!) but then he also has concern of his wife and love of his family. The struggle that Felicity and Conor have is real. Each had their own issues and I could relate to many things brought up in the book.

I have always loved the bond that Gavin and Conor have. It has been tested and tried through the years but has always weathered the storm. But to see them in the park in this book?? These two guys…….bring tears to my eyes they have come so far. I am so glad they were friends from way back and cultivated their friendship to being so unbreakable. Wonderful job on these two!

This is an outstanding addition to the series. It’s great to see how all the characters have grown and improved through the series. This is a favorite series of mine. So thank you to the author for bringing this crew into my life.

An Agreement ( Summer in New York #3) by Lindsay Marie Miller. I have read many books by this author and I have enjoyed them all!! This installment of the Summer in New York Series was no different. This can be read as a stand-alone but i recommend reading the previous books, mainly because they are great!!!
This book was a sexy and sweet read. I absolutely loved how the characters from past books are intertwined into the book. The chemistry and romance between Carter and Bailey is amazing. Bailey wants more but Carter, she thinks has put her in the friend-zone. While what Cater really wants is Bailey, he just thinks he is too damaged for her. I am so looking forward to more books from this author and this series!!!

Killmore (Killmore #1)Killmore by Martha Sweeney
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Killmore is the first book of the Killmore series.

I love that this story has a strong female character who doesn’t lose her edge. The premise of the story is excellent as is the overall story line. The only thing that might be a sticking point for some people is that it slows down a bit toward the middle of the book with most of the action happening at the beginning and well toward the end. That being said, the characters are well-written so that helps. I love the snarky and suggestive humor, it helps keep the book from getting overly dark.

I am looking forward to reading the next part of the story in the second book.

Nathaniel (Dragon Hearts Series) by Carole Mortimer
4 Stars

This is a paranormal story about dragons of myth and legend. I love dragons so any story involving them, I am inclined to read. I found this story very interesting. The legend of King Arthur was integrated in the book but the author did a good job keeping it as a back story and didn’t let it overtake the story. The book stayed centred on the dragon shifters, Nathaniel in particular.

Nathaniel and his brothers have been around for hundreds of years searching for their mates. Nathaniel has all but given up hope until he crosses paths with a smart mouthed, head strong journalist. His dragon is roaring and demands that he claim her. Chloe is vacationing in Wales when she comes across Pendragon Castle. A castle that isn’t on any map yet has existed for as long as anyone can remember. She instinctively knows there is a story there and knows she needs to investigate. Her life changes as she’s held captive in this exciting adventure.

The book is not long so the author had to pack a lot of information in this book. Though I would have liked a little more depth in the characters, I did like them. Chloe is quirky and doesn’t know when to shut her mouth. Nathaniel, though an alpha male, tries to do right by Chloe and treats her with respect. The story was fun to read and the author did a good job laying the foundation for the rest of the series. I’m looking forward to reading about the rest of the brothers.

Killmore (Killmore #1)Killmore by Martha Sweeney
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Killmore starts off with a BANG of action. Then it lets you get comfortable for awhile. It’s hard to get a read on Laurie, I don’t know how I totally feel about her and still feel like she has secrets. She definitely has a tough outer shell to crack but cares deeply for those in her inner circle. Aiden, Paul, who can you trust? They both seem genuine and Aiden kind of wears his heart on his sleeve, but I still have a lot of questions. I feel like Dr. Codie wasn’t a fully resolved issue, maybe all these things are cleared up in book two. I’d call this a happy for now ending, with enough suspense, intrigue, and puzzle to keep me on the hook.

Burning Night: where the ashes of the past awaken the futureBurning Night: where the ashes of the past awaken the future by Nikki Broadwell
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Burning Night was a unique story, I really enjoyed a lot of the moments you can’t explain, the events people won’t believe. There were mystical forces at play, more along the lines of spiritual happenings. That part was crazy interesting. I felt like Collie had courage to leave her husband and push forward on this adventure. I did have a bit of trouble connecting with the characters and they all had actions I didn’t totally agree with or understand. Not sure if that is just more realistic, but even Collie, I wanted to shake sometimes. She’s been through a lot in her life, though. All in all, it was an interesting story.

The Changeup (Resort Romance Series, #6) by Mary Billiter – Review by Dori Cousley

The Changeup (Resort Romance #6)The Changeup by Mary Billiter
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The Changeup by Mary Billiter is the sixth book in the Resort Romance Series. Though it is the sixth book, it can be read as a standalone. The Changeup is a whodunit mystery with romance thrown in for good measure. This is a story about a woman who trying to hide from her past and a baseball pitcher who is planning his future. Will there two worlds collide? Can it work out for the two of them?

The Changeup is another great book in the series, you will not be disappointed. I recommend reading the series because they are all so good. The twists and turns keeps you engaged, because you never know what will happen next. The characters are very believable and well developed. The secondary characters are just as good as the main ones. Looking forward to reading what comes next in the series.

The Changeup (Resort Romance #6)The Changeup by Mary Billiter
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The Changeup (A Resort Romance Novel Book 6) by Mary Billiter is another ​great read. Mary has done a fantastic job with this story and I fell in love with the characters from the very first page of the first book. ​The story is told from a duel POV which gives the story much more depth and perspective. I found myself laughing at the antics of the characters as they try to get to the bottom of who did it. ​It is a murder mystery, romance story and this is one of my favourites in this series.

Rebel is in witness protection so the last thing she needs is a murder, but to find out who did it, she finds a lot more than she bargained for.

Ryan wants nothing more than to be blue blood and is training to be a deputy sheriff but what he stumbles across in an alley is more than he ever imagined and may just place the one thing he wants most in the world in jeopardy.

There are secrets and mysteries, lies and loss that will keep you glued to each and every page.

An Agreement (Summer in New York Book 3) by Lindsay Marie Miller ​is a sweet contemporary romance story. ​Lindsay has done a fantastic job and I fell in love with the characters from the very first page of the first book. ​The story is told from a duel POV which gives the story much more depth and perspective in to who the characters are. It is a heartwarming and beautiful story that is also sad and compelling. There is so much pain and suffering, secrets and loss that will keep you glued to each and every page. The raw emotions in this captivating story broke my heart at times and I could not stop the tears.   Bailey just wants to be loved, to find that one person she is supposed to be with the rest of your life but building her business never left much room for men. So desperate times call for desperate measures and what she finds is much more than she bargained for.

Carter has been living with his own demons but when a beautiful mix up comes into his life he doesn’t know what he should do.

I am looking forward to what comes next.

4 Stars!!!!

Once again going out of my genre choice and I must admit that I was quite drawn in. There is so much that drew me in. The author does such an amazing job of creating the world in which her characters live. I like how the book is written in first person view point. The use of the past as well to help put the story together is just so refreshing.

I really enjoyed the fact that Laurie was doing the right thing and helping to bring down the bad guys. I found that although the story line was a bit drawn out that it still had the desired affect that I was pulled in and couldn’t put the book down. I really enjoyed the chemistry between Aiden and Laurie was a leading factor that kept me glued to the pages of this book. I don’t often enjoy cartel or mafia based books but I have to admit that I was pleasantly surprised with this one. I found that the author was able to be create the sexual tension between the two main characters as well as wrap the drama around them. I do like mysteries and case solving and I found that the author really put good use of this in the story. I very much look forward to reading more from this author as well as this series.

Guilty Pleasures Volume 2: Guilty Pleasures

5 out of 5 stars

The story Guilty Pleasures Volume 2: Guilty Pleasures by Joyce McCarthy is a book that has some short erotic stories that are written to make the temperature in the room rise. They center around the characters and the steamy encounters that they have. There is lust, dirty talking, teasing, and red-hot scenes. While the stories are short and quick they don’t lack in the details of what these characters are there for. This is an author who knows how to write scenes that will have you reaching for a glass of cold water. I found myself intrigued by the characters and wanted to know more about them. There is attraction and lust included in these stories. The book is well-written and makes me want to read more by the author. Recommended reading.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Degrees of Control is the third book in Via Mari’s Prestian series. Do not start with this book, you need to read the books in the order as then you really get the story, the journey … I truly think that the series gets better and better with each book … the writer’s attention to detail becomes clearer and clearer and you feel as if you are co-existing with Kate and Chase, right there … next to them! There are so many twists and turns … one moment you are slowly floating along, enjoying the ride and then suddenly you are at the edge of your seat, almost falling off!
Degrees of Control picks up after Kate has rejected Chase’s proposal for marriage. She struggles with trust and at times with what is right and what is wrong and she is so strong and at times I wish that we could also see another side of hers … on the other hand, I can so totally relate to it as when we are in control then at the end of the day there is no one else we can blame …
There are some twists here that you do not see coming so it is really good that there is at least one more book for us to enjoy the journey and I am wondering, what lesson does Kate have left to learn …

An Agreement (Summer in New York, #3)An Agreement by Lindsay Marie Miller
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

An Agreement by Lindsay Marie Miller this is the third book in this great series, this book offers the romance that we have come to love from Lindsay Marie Miller. The characters have such chemistry and the flow of the story was just great.

Bailey is a old romantic at heart and is looking for the right man to come along and sweep her off her feet, but she has been working hard to get her fashion boutique up and running so she has little romance in her life especially meeting eligible suitors. So as she is with her brother he convinces her the best way she will meet someone is to go online.

So as she goes on the first date it ends up with her having a misunderstanding and turning into a interesting date in the end. Carter is not looking for love but when he has a interaction with Bailey he can’t get her out of his head. So as the story goes you get to see the romance blossom between these two great characters.

Although this book can be read as a stand alone there is some cross over with the other two books in this great series but hey they are brilliant so I recommend you read them anyway. The book is fast paced and is well written and is a great third instalment in this series.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Felicity Found by Lara Ward Cosio is the sixth installment in her Rogue Series, which is one of the best rock star romance series that I have read in quite a while. Continuing the story of Conor and Felicity, who we first meet in book 2 – Playing at Love – this book really gets allot deeper and grittier than I would have ever imagined. These stories are not for the faint of heart, but for those who can look at the dark sides of relationships and still fall in love with the broken characters for who they truly are. I highly recommend reading the Rogue series in order, not only for the back story and getting to see each couple come together in their own unique voices but because the fullness of the story is that much better to read. I can’t wait to see what Cosio brings to her readers next, but I will definitely be first in line for whatever she does.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Getting the Goods by Elizabeth Perry is a quirky and satisfying tale that was shamelessly brilliant. It has so much on offer. Hilarity? Check. Elegant disorganisation? Check. Heart rate elevating passion? Check. Spine tingling, toe curling sesuality? Check. Battles? Check. Making up? Check. Perfection? Check, check and check!!! I loved these characters, adored how the story presented, loved the tenacious spirit of the leading lady, and swooned every time the leading man was mentioned.

I cannot remember the last time i was that invested in a romantic comedy. I didn’t know what was going on around me. I was totally under the spell of this wonderfully entertaining cast. Elizabeth Perry is an author I will be getting to know better as soon as I can. It was a hoot being able to rendezvous with this colourful collection of personalities. 5 stars.

Truly Unfortunate (Welcome To Knollville #1) by C.A. King — Review by Cynthia Ayala

Truly Unfortunate (Welcome To Knollville Book 1)Truly Unfortunate by C.A. King
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Truly Unfortunate is a quick read for a novel, a tale about the weird and unusual in one small town following Truly, a girl who works three jobs and still is unable to make ends meet with a landlord who harasses her at any given moment. It is a relatable read, following Truly on her day to day excursions as she goes from job one to the next as she struggles to make ends meet, suffering the injustices that surround her. However, the kicker in all this, what makes this story, so riveting is the fact that it goes back in time, flashing back to the memories Truly had forgotten, memories of abuse and bullying. That is the power of the novel that injustices happen, that bad people are going to do bad things but that there is some karmic justice in the world to make everything right.

Once again, it is a short read at just under 200 pages, making it a quick one, but that is not all that makes it a quick read. The fact that the novel moves so effortlessly to build the tension and the intrigue keeps the reader on their toes. Other than that, Truly is a pretty forgettable character, her history and origins are what make her stand out, but her personality, nothing about it stands out. Jeff, on the other hand, his obsession with the weird and the connections he makes to fortune telling, now his actions and reactions, that is what makes him appealing to read. His motives and the way his arc in the narrative moves and intertwines with Truly’s from the past to the present, that makes him interesting.

Overall, it is a good read, and as a starter to something bigger, it works.

Getting the Goods by Elizabeth Perry is a flawed romantic comedy that will have you swooning and laughing throughout the fables of her main characters. Following the story of Gabriella Martin, who while she is still a young’un at just 29 years old, she is convinced that if she isn’t a mother soon, she never will be. Coming up with a scheme to get knocked up, leads her on a hilarious ride and strangers who will way lay her best laid plans. Meeting the perfect stranger, tall dark and handsome, and the night is full of steamy oohs and ahhs, until the next morning when Gabie splits and doesn’t expect to see this man again having gotten everything she needed from him. But he isn’t too far behind her, because he happens to be her new boss. The ensuing story is full of awkward morning afters, steamy hook ups, and feelings that neither of them were ready for. Will these two be able to make a multiple night stand work for the long haul when a bundle of joy comes along. Perry is a new to me author, but I am so happy that I picked this one up. If you are looking for a great book that will make you laugh, cry and fall in love with each page. I can’t wait to see what else Perry brings to her readers next.

An Agreement by Lindsay Marie Miller is the third book in her Summers in New York series, and it just keeps getting better and better. Following the story of Bailey Lewis, who is Benjamin and Clarie’s daughter who you get to meet in book one. A romantic at heart, Bailey dreams of being swept off her feet by her prince charming, but her problem comes from meeting the right man. Add to that, Bailey has been spending all of her time building up her brand and proving herself in the fashion industry, but now she wants more. When her brothers talk her into online dating she goes reluctantly, and then ends up at the wrong table with a guy that is the best kind of wrong. When things start to heat up between Bailey and Carter, she has to wonder if fate had a hand to play in her getting the wrong guy at the right time? Miller is an old favorite of mine, having read several of her books in the past, as well as the first two books in this series, I couldn’t wait to read this one. I highly recommend this book to be read after books one and two, just to get the full effect of the series. This book was just great to read, and I couldn’t get into it fast enough. If you are looking for a great author Miller is one that you need to add to your collection and get this series pronto!

I have no idea how I didn’t know of Martha Sweeney’s writing prior to stumbling across Killmore. This is my first novel I’ve read by Martha Sweeney and it most certainly will not be my last (and not just because I’m dying to read the follow up book!) The very first page starts off with a bang and there are enough edge of your seat twists and turns to keep the pages turner until the very end.
When I tell you this book has everything I could ask for in a great romantic thriller, I mean it. Heart pounding suspense, danger, romance, the list goes on.
The storyline flowed very well and kept the fast pace throughout. I don’t want to spoil the story anyway but I recommend you read Killmore and see for yourself why this 5 star read made me anxious to read more of Martha Sweeney.

Player (21st Century Courtesan #1)Player by Pamela DuMond
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I was completely enthralled and blown away by this book! Player is Book 1 in this series, which is written by Pamela DuMond. There were so many highs and lows and emotional turns that it was definitely a page turner! Evelyn or Evie is empathic. She is very in tuned with others feelings. From the time that she was little she has had to learn to control her empathic surges. Not only that but she has had to deal with a bi-polar mother. Especially when her mother had caused tragedy to others that has followed Evie into adulthood. However, with having to take care of her mother and sister along with student loans, Evie needed to find a way to make more money. Her friend told her of this escort service. Evie decided to try it out and along with that comes the possibility of love and fear. Fear from potential stalkers comes into play because of this job. The potentiality of love also is a factor, which comes to into play with one of her clients. However, her empathic abilities has helped her become one of the most sought after escorts in Chicago. I absolutely loved this book! I really cannot wait for the next book because I need to find out what happens! The characters are amazing and really play well in the storyline. I loved the authors writing style. She really makes you a part of the story. The sexy scenes are severely hot and give just enough for the meat of the story. I was truly impressed with this book and this is a book I would definitely recommend!

OH MYLANTA! This book really hit me in all the feels! I have loved the Darling Cove Novels from Deborah Garland for awhile now and was so stinking excite to read the Christmas novella this holiday season. This was on the top of the list for my reads this season. I will say right now, I would not recommend that you read this novella if you haven’t read the other books in the series and read them in order.

This one gives us a peek into the lives of Faith and Greg Mallory as they are about to change drastically. See they are about to become parents. It’s a special time for them,and a special time of year, Christmastime. The faith they have that everything will work out for the positive is about to be put to the test in ways they never imagined they would have to face. The emotions you feel while reading their journey through this novella are raw to say the least. I found tears rolling down my face several times, and by the end of the book I was believing in Christmas miracles all over again. I will for sure be curled up next to the tree once again rereading this beautiful holiday tale before the holiday season is over again this year, and many years to come. Thank you Ms. Garland for the wonderful story!

The author continues to weave an amazing tale throughout this series. For the best appreciation, this should be read in series order. Each book lends itself one to the other with character development and plot points. This one definitely follows its predecessors with its engaging characters and fast moving plot. I was engaged from beginning to end. Action packed, this book will leave its readers breathless.

Caught in Make-Believe (The Caught Series Book 3) by Sharleen Scott – Review by Heather Lovelace

Caught in Make-Believe (The Caught Series Book 3)Caught in Make-Believe by Sharleen Scott
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This one has it all – romance, mystery, suspense. It can definitely be enjoyed as a stand-alone. However I believe greatest enjoyment would come from reading this series in order. This book has a steady pace, a fantastic ebb and flow. I loved the characters and how they developed throughout the story. All in all, a fantastic book and one I look forward to reading again to catch any details I missed the first time.

Rhapsody and Rebellion: Once Upon A Window (Enduring Legacy Series Book #7) by Aubrey Wynne – Review by Angela Hayes

Rhapsody and Rebellion (Enduring Legacy #7)Rhapsody and Rebellion by Aubrey Wynne
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

 

Rhapsody and Rebellion: Once Upon a Window is the seventh book in the Enduring Legacy Series by Aubrey Wynne. This was an intriguing historical romance with drama, action, humour, suspense, second chances- and where love truly does conquer all.
Gideon is the Earl of Stanfeld- he is proper, pragmatic, and controlled. But his predictable world will be turned upside down when his mother has some unsettling dreams and he agrees to take her back to her highland roots.
Alisabeth had her destiny laid out for her from birth when she was betrothed to Ian, who then became her best friend. But unfortunately, Ian was taken from her after only a year of marriage. So, what happens when an English Lord steps into her world? You really should read the book and discover all the clever details for yourself.
This story showcases Ms. Wynne’s creative storytelling talents and gives the reader a very immersive experience. There was so much happening in this book- but it was all wonderfully choreographed into a smooth and entertaining read. The way Ms. Wynne wove her story around actual historical events- then sprinkled in some folklore and legend amongst the political and social unrest, really made this book quite an interesting read. This may be my first read from Ms. Wynne, but it undoubtedly won’t be my last.
So, if you like a great regency/historical romance, with wonderful characters, and an story that will pull you in and engage you from beginning to end- then this is definitely the book for you!

Thank you, Ms. Wynne!
