Must Be Crazy (Darling Cove Book 3) by Deborah Garland

5 Stars

I love this series, everything about it, the people, the town, the family, the friends, the writing and the way everything just flows. It is completely awesome!!

Now with all that said I can concentrate on just this book…I’m not sure how to put into words what I loved most about this story. The storyline for me was completely unexpected..It did not go the way I thought it would. Miss Garland never gave in on the good guy maybe being in the wrong, and Skye being put right in the middle of everything and standing by what was right even when her heart was telling her not to. That’s still not explaining it the way it should be explained so you will have to read the book to understand.

I wasn’t crazy about Skye in earlier books but I always had a feeling there was more to her and I was right. Her story was so sad and her not wanting to burden her family with it about broke my heart. There were scenes in this book that I felt deep, some made me cry and others just took my breath away. I think I felt every emotion that was written or implied in this story and then some that weren’t so I was a mess throughout most of it.

I can’t recommend this story enough, but do not just read this book, truly and honestly to get the full effect of this family and these people you have to read them all in order.

Loved loved loved it and can not wait to read the next which is already open on my kindle.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

 

And so we have the final book in the trilogy of the prequel series to The Brothers of Camelot series and what a final book it is! I have loved this trilogy – I’ve never read a prequel trilogy before and I thought it was such a fantastic idea by the author. Not only do I feel like I know the characters inside out but I am totally ready to carry on with the next part! I love this author’s writing style; she has totally captured my attention with her beautiful writing. Her characters are well thought out and progress so well over the story – especially Aless, I feel like I have grown up with her from the very beginning. I have seen her progress from a child to an almost warrior princess! She is a fantastic character and I love her!
The story is full of action and turn the pages fast enough! I highly recommend this book and the series needs to be read in order!!
I am looking forward to more to come from this author again in the future.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The First Backwards Christmas written by Brooke Williams. This story is a short quick read, and is about giving a town hope at a second chance. The storyline was a bit odd with the handstands but the rest of it was cute. Jack and Joy make a cute couple who are willing to try anything to save the town they love. Even if it means having a backwards Christmas.

I loved this book! I love how this author has the ability to pull me into the story with ease and hold my attention until the end. The twists and turns left me sitting on the edge of my seat just waiting to see what will happen next. The characters are creative and made me feel part of the story. Jess is a great character that at times I wondered what she was thinking and other times yes! Raffaele makes the best book boy-friend, hot, sexy! I highly recommend reading this book, what could be better then hot, steamy immortals!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Shoot Me: A Lie To Me Novel
By Lynda Filler
This is the second book in the Lie to me series and it is my suggestion that you read the first one because this one picks up right where the first one leaves off. Layla is heading to Guadalajara for a change of scenery after Mateo left her with nothing but a letter, and to continue with her her writing. Not to worry though, Layla meets some new hot men that you will want to read more about. The author did a wonderful job pulling me in from the beginning with her very descriptive and detailed words. I read the first book in this series and truly enjoyed it and I’m glad that this one had the same level of energy and passion. I loved reading this emotionally charged story, with its twists, danger, steamy moments, and heart tugging at times. I was glad to see some returning characters and meet the new ones in this book. There are wonderful characters in this story that you won’t want to miss. I highly recommend this book it was a great read.

F*cking Frank (Smirk Series Book 1)F*cking Frank by Jen Luerssen
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

OMG! This book was a riot! From the moment I read the blurb and laughed out loud to the very last page this was hilarious and a great escape. I have not had the the pleasure of reading anything from Jen Luerssen before picking up F*cking Frank but I have to tell you I will be stalking, er I mean following faithfully lol, her from now on! I hate to seem a bit too repetitive but if you happen to not read the little blurbs before you read the reviews or not at all I just have to include it in the review. This was what sold me on this book, and I loved it!
*************************************************************************************************************
I’m F*cking Frank (yeah there’s an asterisk, worked for that kids book, didn’t it?) and this book is about me and Mikey. You’d probably rather be in Mikey’s head since she’s not as much of an asshole, but unfortunately, the author finds me more interesting.
Mikey and I were literally separated at birth, and when we get back together, it’s pretty great. She could do way better, but who am I to set her standards? I make music, she makes wine. Together we mostly argue and f*ck (jeez, even here an asterisk?), so you know, we’re perfect for each other. At least I think we are, she wants to keep it casual and like a jerk I fell in love.

She and I f*ck a lot, hopefully it’s enough for you pervs. I mean, Myself? I like a good paranormal with maybe two or three powerful demigods or shifters going at it, but you do you.

Where was I? Yeah, so buy this book if you like my abs and that vee thing Mikey swoons over. You could get the ebook version or you could buy the paperback and show my abs off like nature intended.

“Hey Carol, what are you reading?” I ask.

“Um, War and Peace,” you say and I know you are lying your face off, Carol. You like romance, own that shit!

So go ahead, buy this book, read it in three hours, and move on to the next one that will be undervalued by snobs with no joy in their life.

*********************************************************************
And.. This book is just that. A direct POV novel told by Frank. He is one blunt and sarcastic man, and I loved the way he caught me off guard even when I thought that I had gotten used to him as a character. This book is also really interactive and directly refers to the you the reader often, which was a fun and new twist, one I have rarely seen in novels. I loved the steam level and the underlying lesson that came from the romance part. Overall this book was the perfect rom-com, mostly steamy comedy to spend the afternoon laughing with. I can’t wait to get my hands on the next one in the series, and other books by Hen Luerssen! Thanks for a great read and lots of laughs!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Truly Unfortunate (Welcome to Knollville Series) by C.A King
5 Stars

Ms. King is an excellent author who truly has a wild imagination. I have read several of her books and each one is completely unique. This is another well written original storyline. It is a twisted tale that blurs the lines of reality. It is the first book in the Knollville series and I think it’s off to a great start. It is a paranormal story with a dark fantasy flavour to it.

Truly is a woman whose childhood is a complete blank to her. She has no memories at all. She has been to several doctors who all say the same thing, that she has blocked traumatic experiences. The only luck she seems to have is bad and as memories slowly start resurfacing, death seems to be following her. Jeff is a detective whose current cases all seem to point to Truly. To uncover the truth, he needs to open his mind and think outside the box.

This story has many twists and turns that it’s addictive. It is definitely not black and white, there are many shades of grey. You will not be able to put it down. I highly recommend that you read it. This has to be my favourite book from this author.

Mouse Trapped
Satan’s Devils MC
Book 9
By Manda Mellett
☆☆☆☆☆

This is a full length novel containing a little bit of suspense, a love story and a whole lot of trouble. I would love to give it more than 5 stars, that is how good it is. The 9th book in this series continues with the lives of the Satan’s Devils. This book features Mouse and how he works around being different. How he saves Mariana from more than just the bear and monsters. How he finds himself and who his real friends are.

Manda Mellett has done it again. This book is fast paced and easy to follow. Her characters are strong and never back down. I have to tell you. I have loved everyone of her characters, as well as their stories. Everyone carries different traits, that shows their strength. They are always there when needed. Love, Love, Love this series! Way to go Manda Mellett!

Distant Memory (Solum series Book 3) by Colleen S. Myers – Review by Emily Walsh

Distant MemoryDistant Memory
By: Colleen S. Myers
My Rating: 4 of 5 stars

Distant Memory (Solum series Book 3) by Colleen S. Myers was a emotionally raw, race against the time, science fiction thriller, that had me on the edge of my seat.

The third book in the Solum Series, it picks up right were the last leaves off. A little warning, this is a connecting series and the timeline is continuous. Each book pretty much picks up were the last leaves off, so I highly suggest starting from book one. If not,you’re going to be confused that and, there is a lot of background and other plot points that will not make sense if you skip. Plus as always, you run the risk of spoilers.

I don’t want to give anything away at the risk of somehow spoiling this amazing read. Just know that this book is on par with the others but, has the added affect of, a little bit of aftermath from the last book, and the race against time element. This book has a lot of raw emotions and it pushes our MC to her limits. I have to say I was a little worried towards the end. There is a split second where you’re sitting there like… no the author didn’t. Gaw, my heart can’t take it when they pull stuff like that.

As for the ending, it was closed out, but not. As in, I’m sure there is more to come, because there are still so many unanswered questions and some uncertain faiths of other beloved characters.

Overall this book, as I said, is on par with the others. For me it lack some of that steller detail that made the first two books shine, but I can see why some of that was left out. When you’re on the clock, stopping and smelling the carnivorous plants isn’t a option. With that said I hope you take my super high recommendation and my stamp of approval, that this series, this book, is a must read, and you will not be able to put it down.

Happy Reading.

Gabe (Glass City Hearts Book One)Gabe by Desiree Lafawn
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Gabe is the first book in Desiree Lafawn’s Glass City Hearts series. I read the third book first and then felt compelled to pick up the first and the second books of the series. I absolutely love Desiree Lafawn’s writing, there is something magical about it … it pulls you in and doesn’t let you go … she makes the characters so real that you feel as if you are experiencing their lives along with them! I recommend to start with the first book and then continue with the next ones as you will meet some of the characters in previous books and knowing their stories you will get so much more out of the story you are reading!
Gabe is the story of Gabe Anderson, an ex-Special Forces, bodyguard, investigator … the hero of every warm blooded woman, and Angel Jax, the girl next door who writes smutty romantic comedies and moonlights as a singer for living … what do they have in common? They were the best friends when growing up and then … something happened … and they have not seen or spoken for fifteen years! And now, Angel is at Gabe’s door as he is the only one who could help her out of the sticky situation she has ended up in …
It is a masterfully written story of past secrets and present filled with danger … openings for second chances and … well, everything one would want from a story that takes us away …

Dino (Glass City Hearts Book Two)Dino by Desiree Lafawn
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Dino is the second book in Desiree Lafawn’s Glass City Hearts series. I started with book three of the series and simply had to go and also read books one and two! Desiree’s writing makes the stories so real that you feel so close to the characters and you simply want more … more glimpses into their lives, more of the people in their lives … simply more!
Dino is the story of Dino, a man of so many identities that at times he himself no longer knows who he truly is, and of Jeanette, a broken woman who has finally stopped running … having found a place (and people) to call home … These two have SOOOOO many secrets between them that at times it is hard to breathe … my goodness, this story … the journey Jeanette has been on … the suffering … and Dino … the loyalty … the family … Jeanette … and using the alternating points of views, she makes us part of the story …
The writer takes us to the pits of despair and to the heights of hope … she makes us cry and she makes us hope and she leaves us breathless and wishing for more … there is never enough …

Cowboy: Claimed Box Set by Various Authors – Review by Heather Bahm

Cowboy: ClaimedCowboy: Claimed by Melissa Keir
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Cowboy: Claimed is a box set featuring six stories:
Rescue Love by Melissa Keir
Snow Bird Springs: TROY by Cheryl Gorman
Upstaging the Cowboy by Leslie P. Garcia
Cowboy Kind of Forgiveness by Becca Turner
Reverence by Lyssa Layne
Cowboy Proud by D’Ann Lindun

Each of these stories are standalone, but go perfectly together within this set. Any lover of cowboy romances should step up to read these. I’ve previously read novels by a couple of these authors, but one of the things I enjoy about anthologies/sets is that it introduces me to authors that I may not have previously read. A myriad of of emotions, antics, opportunities and more are abound in this box set. You cannot resist a good written romance, but with six of them, what are you waiting for?

Hope's Decree (The Fated #1)Hope’s Decree by Angela McPherson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Angela McPherson’s Hope’s Decree is the first book of The Fated. This paranormal/fantasy romance was vivid in the details, from the character descriptions to the events that transpired within the novel. The story line was executed perfectly. I was pulled into the book within the first chapter. Noting that Trinity is still in high school, the author pulled those type of relationships and dynamics into the story and the interactions between characters. The story was well paced. As new characters are introduced in the story, you get a foreboding of something more to come. I like the suspense that is there making me anticipate what could come next around the corner. Angela McPherson is a fantastic author and I am enjoying this paranormal twist in this latest series.

Shoot Me: A Lie To Me Novel by Lynda Filler
4 out of 5 stars

This second installment in the Lie to Me Series is just as hot and fast as the first. This book is a continuation of the first one, so the first book is a must read. Layla is in Mexico, trying to drown the loss of Mateo leaving her in wine, coffee and pot, but nothing seems to want to drown him out. What is that old saying? The fastest way to get over one man is to get under another one? Layla does just that, she catches the eye of a very young (in his early 20’s to her 40’s) photographer, and then another young man finds his way into her path…and then another…and then an old friend shows back up who is looking pretty good as well.

The series of events the lead to Layla healing what is left of her heart, the friendships she forges, and the people she loves and who love her back makes for one very fantastic story. Once I met all of the young men in the book, I was pulling for one more than the other, but I won’t tell you why because it will give away some major details of the book, but I thing you will find yourself rooting for one over the other as well. I adore this book and series. This author is on my to be read list!

Isabella's Painting (Karina Cardinal Mystery #1)Isabella’s Painting by Ellen Butler
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Isabella’s Painting is a magnificent mystery/thriller book by Ellen Butler. Butler has done her research when it comes to the underground black market of stolen items. This story gripped me from the very first paragraph until the last word. Butler has twists and turns that made me turn the page quickly and then there were ones that I was hesitant to turn. Butler has fully developed characters that I felt like I could be there in the story with them. This story is about Karina and what she sees and hears by accident. There was a heist of paintings from the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum. Karina believes she has seen one and overhears about the painting as well. She is not sure who she can trust. Will Karina get help with what she saw or will she turn the other way? Does she understand what she has gotten herself into?

Nathaniel, Dragon Hearts #1, by Carole Mortimer is a fantasy romance featuring dragon shifters. One inquisitive woman versus a determined man to keep his distance and her away, what could possibly happen? The author quickly sets the stage for this story, along with a colorful cast of characters. I liked Nathaniel’s personality in this story was breathtaking. He may be standoffish at parts, but in the entire scheme of things – he was quite magnetic. Chloe was absolutely the best to set against this alpha male. She is persistent and holds her own. Add them together in this creative story line and it was a worthwhile read that I thoroughly enjoyed!

The Changeup (A Resort Romance Novel Book 6) By Mary Billiter. While this is book 6 it can definitely be read as a standalone without any questions or confusion, but do yourself a favor and read the others because they are great also. I loved this story and how the author makes each one unique, this one had suspense which I love in stories. I love a book that has me trying to figure everything out. This story is in both main characters point of view and I’m a fan of that because it makes for a well rounded storyline. The characters are easy to connect with even when I wanted to smack them a bit. It’s well written and paced nicely although a bit rushed in the ending but still a great read. I’m giving this book a four star review and recommend it to everyone. Excited to see where the author takes readers next.

5 out of 5 stars

Degrees of Control is the third installment of Via Mari’s Prestian Series and all I can really say is wow. So many series start to fizzle out by the third book but somehow this one is still hot!
I would recommend starting the series from the very beginning if you haven’t already because each story builds upon the last, picking up where the others left off. Not to mention, you wouldn’t want to miss a single plot twist.
I would have to say Degrees of Control is my favorite installment of the series thus far. Intrigue, edge of your seat suspense and even a few tears shed all while keeping up with the steamy factor of the last two books.
Once again Chase and Katarina prove to be enjoyable characters with obstacles to overcome within and outside of their relationship and to say I’m invested is an understatement. Once again Via Mari hit it out of the park and left me craving more.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Isabella’s Painting: A Notorious Art Heist Mystery by Ellen Butler is the first book in the Karina Cardinal Mystery series. This is one well written mystery that has humor, DC political scene, romance, and mystery. I was first intrigued as an art history student because the Gardner Heist still has so many unanswered questions. Ms. Butler did a great job of a “what if” scenario that is well thought out and logical. I loved the main character Karina Cardinal and how she went about trying to weave her way through the twists and turns. I also appreciated that the mystery was interesting and had lots of different characters to wonder about their intentions. I will be definitely looking for more from this author in the future and look forward to more of the Karina Cardinal series.

My Free Life: Prequel to the Brothers of Camelot is book 3 in My Life series by Necie Navone. In each thought provoking part to this series, the suspense becomes more palpable. Will our leading lady get what she most desires? It truly is riveting reading.

The danger and adventurous actions of these extremely lethal characters is skillfully addictive. This series, once you start reading, is impossible to put down. Every book I have read in one sitting. The content is powerful, stimulating and energetic. There is also mischievous engagement, trickery, violence and passion. A thirst for all romantic activities, this story offers something different. The Life series is a tale of triumph over chauvinism, arrogance and shallowness. A tale of self worth and fighting for your dreams.

My Free Life was a compelling conclusion to this amazing series. I am sad it is the end of the journey, but excited to discover more. 5 stars.

The Killmores (Killmore #2)The Killmores by Martha Sweeney
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The Killmores by Martha Sweeney is the second book in her Killmore series, thrilling her readers with more mystery and who dunit catchiness. The continuation will keep you enthralled from page one and keep you on the edge of your seat until well after the last page. Continuing the story of Laurie and Aiden, they are beyond larger than life in this story. Laurie is definitely a stubborn woman who is also very sarcastic, both of these traits are offset by her paranoia, but it is understandable. Having lived through the terror of book one has given her right to be paranoid that something like that will happen again. Aiden on the other hand, only wants to help Laurie cope with all the demons that haunt her past. Aiden is quite protective of her, wanting to give her all of his love. But as the nightmares take over her life, will Aiden and his love be enough to save her? The chemistry between Laurie and Aiden is palpable from across the room, between making each other laugh as much as cry and smile really made this story come to life. Sweeney is a newer to me author, having only found her works with the Killmore series. But I am so happy that I picked this one up. I highly recommend reading book one first, otherwise many of the interactions and characters that were present in book two will not make as much sense. I can’t wait to see what Sweeney will bring to her readers next!

Alessandra is the Capo Donna of the Canzano family and has been planning her escape for years. She has been through so much growing up, she was trained by her uncle from a young age to fight and lets just say this girl can definitely take care of herself.

Those three words…my free life…bring me a feeling of peace. When I leave, it’ll be forever.

She is finally so close to her goal and there has also been one man on her mind, Grayson. Will she finally be able to connect with him? Will everything fall in place for her?

There are so many edge of your seat moments, along with action, loss, several emotional moments, drama, and so much more. We even get a little hot and steamy time as well, which was a surprise twist. I really enjoyed this whole series, reading about Alessandra and her struggles through the years and the great friends and family that she had. All of the secondary characters were great and I would love to see more from all of them. Her father on the other hand was not my favorite and I hope he gets his in the end. Necie Navone has done a great job of pulling me right in with her writing, I loved it. I’m looking forward to the next book in the Brothers of Camelot series.

Dangerous Ground: Tina and Chase’s Story by Alice Rachel – Review by Jana Teppih

Dangerous Ground: Tina and Chase's StoryDangerous Ground: Tina and Chase’s Story by Alice Rachel
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Dangerous Ground: Tina and Chase’s Story by Alice Rachel is the seventh instalment in her Under Ground series ( know it is a bit difficult to get it straight what story comes when and you really should check out the Recommended Reading Order to get it right). It is NOT a standalone and the author states it as well so be warned, you will be so incredible lost if you do try to start with this one … I feel for you …
This story AND the whole series, it is scary how much our reality reflects the fiction or is it actually vice versa? “Numbers clearly show that the lower class as a whole consumes fewer resources in year than the upper class in five months.” Doesn’t is sound familiar? And there is so much more in this story where you suddenly find yourself thinking, what is reality and what is fiction …
This story has so many layers, it tells as the story of many, it gives us context to many events in the lives of the characters we have met before … I have always struggled really hard when reading this series … especially now when seeing how the world around us is growing darker and darker … at times I think that I cannot continue reading, it is too much but … I go back, again and again, every time a new instalment comes out … Thank you Alice Rachel for putting our anguish into words and giving us an illusion of that it is only fiction, giving us hope that if there are the ones fighting for others in her stories that there are also the ones out here … I am a bit apprehensive while waiting for Breaking Ground … what does the writer have in store for us?

The First Backwards ChristmasThe First Backwards Christmas by Brooke Williams
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The First Backwards Christmas by Brooke Williams was a cute short book that can be read on a cold afternoon when you have some time to just relax with a book and a cup of coffee.

Jack Furst had been living In South Pole, Alaska watching families one by one leave the town. Not much is left and before he knows it, the mayor is leaving too. Jack is dating a woman by the name of Joyce Nicholson who is a pilot and has been helping other towns by bringing supplies to them. What happens when Joyce is moved to be stationed somewhere else?

When the new Mayor gets the bright idea to hang Christmas trees upside down and do everything backwards, no one knew if it would help. Before long, the news of how South Pole, Alaska is celebrating Christmas becomes known all over and more and more families and relatives come to experience it.
I thought the book was well written and was a perfect read for me when I was stuck home one afternoon.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

A Must for Christmas was the perfect Christmas novella for the Darling Cove series by Deborah Garland. I love quick novellas that give you updates on series that you fell in love with. Faith is 30 days from her due date for the twins and the Mallory family is getting ready for Christmas. Can Faith and Greg get a Christmas miracle? What an emotional roller-coaster this book was; I missed these characters and didn’t want this book to end. I want more from this series and this author.

The First Backwards ChristmasThe First Backwards Christmas by Brooke Williams
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The First Backwards Christmas by Brooke Williams is a sweet, holiday story. This is a short story that tells the origins of Backwards Christmas in South Pole, Alaska. The story of hometown man Jack and the pilot Joyce. Jack is worried that his town is going to fade away as people are moving away to more prosperous cities. After Joy urges people to vote for Jack in the mayoral race Jack has to solve the problem of the city. Not only does Jack need to solve the city’s problem he must also figure it out so Joyce can stay based in the town.
This a very quick fun holiday read. I like the characters. Jack is sweet and has a bit of a silly side. Joyce is caring and smart. The two are a fun couple who genuinely care for people and each other. I recommend this if you need to get in the Christmas spirit. I look forward to reading more about South Pole, Alaska in the future.
