My Free Life: Prequel to The Brothers of Camelot (My Life Series Book 3)My Free Life: Prequel to The Brothers of Camelot by Necie Navone
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

 

My Free Life is a Brothers of Camelot prequel and the third book in the My Life series by Necie Navone. OMG!!! I keep saying this over and over, but I can’t help it- I love this series so much!!!!! This book (along with the rest of the series) is such a riveting read. There is so much going on between the covers that both thrilled and captivated me. I have a huge girl crush on Aless- she is the total package… girl power personified. Gorgeous. Smart. Strong. Loving. Kind. A warrior princess in every sense of the word. I have followed alongside as she grew from a sweet six-year-old girl, into the formidable woman she has become. I watched, captivated, through all her stages, ages, highs and lows- rooting for her the entire time! There were times I so badly wanted to wrap my arms around her and steal her away from all that she had to endure, times I wanted to step in and slap her stupid father silly. Other times I wanted to join in on all the fun and laughter. But not once did she not impress me. Not once has my loyalty and admiration wavered. She’s sassy, relatable (on an emotional level, not on the warrior princess level- I wish lol) and so endearing. I would be proud to call her my daughter, or my friend. Yes, I am emotionally invested in an imaginary character. But I don’t care. I want to believe she’s real, because she rocks!!!
There is so much to this story- interconnected details, as well as huge revelations, twists/surprises. Things that made me sit up and take notice. Holding my breath, in anticipation of what would happen next. I think I may have held my breath for almost all of the final few chapters, on the edge of my seat, praying. And I loved every moment!
There’s action, friendship, grief, loss, camaraderie, longing, suspense, emotion, playful teasing, funny banter, danger, battles, violence, human trafficking, Russian Mafia, Italian Mafia, complicated family dynamics, power struggles, secrets, lies, and a lot of drama. The series still really reminds me of “La Femme Nikita” and I still think it would make a brilliant television series or telemovie!!
As I’ve said before, Ms. Navone is a wonderful wordsmith, weaving superb stories that plucked at my heart strings. I have become a Necie Navone addict. Hooked for life- and loving it!
I am zinging with anticipation for the continuation of her, AND GREYSON’s story (finally!!!!….. SWOON!!!!) in “My One Love” Book #2 in the Brothers of Camelot Series!!!! OMG I cannot wait!!!
Bravissimo!!!

Thank you, Ms Navone!

Courage (The Sisterhood Series #2)Courage by Chelsi Arnold
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Courage is book two in the series so the first thing I want to say is go back and read Brave first if you haven’t. Okay, so, the girls are just as fierce as ever. War is going strong, and these ladies do the most secret, dangerous stuff. Fighting for a country that’s fighting itself and the world, there are so many layers to this and it’s disturbing, action-packed, and a definite page turner. I was on the edge of my seat for most of the book, but in tears for a good portion of it, too. It’s a really impactful story.

Hope’s Decree (The Fated Series Book #1) by Angela McPherson – Review by Angela Hayes

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

 

Hopes Decree is the first book in The Fated series by Angela McPherson. WOW, what a fantastic start to this new series. I was completely captivated by the story and stayed glued to the pages until I’d read every word. I can’t convey just how great this story is, I am finding it hard to do it the justice that it deserves. With fantasy, to the paranormal, this book swept me up on an adventure I won’t soon forget. This incredible story is woven around Greek Mythology, in particular, Pandora’s Box- so let’s face it, Ms. McPherson had me at the mere mention of Greek Mythology- I love everything about it!! This book definitely has a ‘Percy Jackson’ feel to it, with action, adventure, mystery, good vs evil, dark vs light, suspense, intrigue, danger, survival, other realms, romance, angst, drama, hope……. and so much more!!
Trinity Whitebone thought she was a normal girl, attending her final year in high school. Sure, she didn’t exactly ‘fit in’, but she was doing well at school, had a few good friends, and loving parents. But when she begins to experience frightening nightmares and actually ‘feel’ other people’s emotions she began to wonder how ‘normal’ she actually was. Then a sexy new student enrols at her school and a whole new world is revealed to her.
She discovers that she has a crucial part to play in saving humanity. That being related to Pandora makes her uniquely qualified for the task, and there is a lot riding on her success. The sexy new guy turns out to be a ‘Watcher’, her Guardian who’s tasked with training her and getting her ready for the battles ahead. But neither she or Blaine expected to have such a powerful connection- which adds to the drama of the story. With sinister plots against them, and large targets on their backs- what will become of them. Can they defeat the evil that is set on destroying humanity? Can they unravel it all before it’s too late?
I love Ms. McPherson’s books, but this one is my favourite of them all, so far!! From the incredible world building, to the wonderful mythology that was woven through the story- this book really gave me an exciting reading experience that I didn’t want to end. The characters are really superb- so well developed and given ‘life’ by Ms. McPherson- and were crafted into fully realised individuals with their own personalities, quirks and flaws.
Ms. McPherson is so imaginative and clever, adding lots of small intricate and inter-connected details that built the mystery, suspense and tension of the story brilliantly. I spent a lot of the time on the edge of my seat, wondering what was going to happen and trying to put all the pieces together. The twists and turns also added an exciting element to the story and had my mind reeling with possible scenarios!
The story was a little slow to get going in the beginning, but after a few chapters the story really took off. So, don’t be put off at the beginning, stick with it while Ms. McPherson is setting the foundations of the story- this book is well worth your time!!!!
The story is set to continue in the next book, and I can not wait to dive in!!
Spellbinding!!!!

Thank You, Ms. McPherson!!

Everyday Enchantments: Musings on Ordinary Magic & Daily Conjurings by Maria F. DeBlassie
4 out of 5 stars

This book is a grown up version of the chicken noodle soup series. Too often do we just skip over the joy of the small things in life, but this author has written a collection of essays that takes part in those joys. This book was an invitation to sit back, read and relax. Many times I am rushing to get to the conclusion of the book, but this one, it was such an smooth, easy read that you felt wrapped inside the book and within the stories. You get a real understanding of this author, Her feelings, her emotions, wants and desires. She doesn’t impart her opinion on you, nor does she try to pass judgment. She just is, and she lets things be, and other times, with a bit of sage, she does some mass cleaning. I loved this book. This is not my normal genre, but I think I have found a new favorite.

Nathaniel (Dragon Hearts #1)Nathaniel
By: Carole Mortimer
My Rating: 5 of 5 stars

Nathaniel (Dragon Hearts #1) by Carole Mortimer was a hot, fan worthy, hooking story about the alpha of alpha-est male dragon and his soon to be mate.

My first read from this author I didn’t know what I was getting into, as this author has written many, many books, and me being like, why is this the first time I’m hearing about this? Went in with fresh eyes and a open mind. And, first impressions, I like.. I like a lot.

I am a dragon lover, and ten to collect dragon books. Seeing this I couldn’t pass it up, and I was not disappointed in the least. This quik, hot steamy read doesn’t leave room for filler, or for any real world building or character development. But, that wasn’t a bad thing, because, the focus of the story was, more about the couple, and setting the stage for the series to come. We get some back story on the brothers, we get introduced to many characters that I’m assuming will be important in later books, and we get hot insta/lust-love.

I know insta love/lust. But, the writing is so good, and engaging, that, it didn’t bother me at all. I was sucked into this story, unable to put it down. I very much enjoyed reading about Nathaniel and Chloe. As mighty alpha as he is, Chloe give it back just as hard. (In more ways than one…) They have such a fun, entertaining dynamic that, it stole the show and made you forget that, there are some elements missing. And again, even though I picked up on that, I didn’t care as much, because their story is just so good. These characters carried the story and man, that type of talent is rare.

So please take my super high recommendation and my stamp of approval, that you will get swept up in Nathaniel’s and Chloe’s crazy whirlwind love story.

Happy Reading

Nathaniel (Dragon Hearts #1)Nathaniel by Carole Mortimer
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I give Nathaniel (Dragon Hearts 1) by Carole Mortimer, 4 stars.

Chloe is a journalist who is on vacation in Wales. When she comes across a castle that is not on any map or vacation guide, she is instantly intrigued. Even the villagers cannot tell her too much. So she decides to have a look for herself. What and who she finds there astounds her. But these men, while drop dead gorgeous, must be up to something illegal. Why else all the secrecy? But the big question is, what has she really gotten herself into?

Nathaniel is one of the men living in the castle. He tries to ignore the hot woman getting too close to their home, but the second time she shows up, he know he must stop her. But she is persistent. Not to mention that a part of him doesn’t want to say no to her. But this cannot be, he does not need a woman in his life. Or does he?

This paranormal romance at its finest. Well written, the story and the characters are great. The setting is of course outstanding, giving it a more gothic feel. Well, an updated gothic feel at least. The men are sexy and the romance is quite heated. But there is more going on. If you are a fan or paranormal romance or just like fantasy and something different, this book will appeal to you. I cannot wait to read more of the books in the series and learn more about the other men.

I highly recommend then wonderful paranormal romance to adults you enjoy a fun, sexy read with lots of hot men.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Jen Luerssen’s F*cking Frank (Smirk Series Book 1) is ripping roar of a romantic comedy. From the start, the author will have you laughing until your sides are about ready to split and still continue on. Frank is a no filter kind of guy, but can anything set him off kilter? Watching how Frank moves this this story was amusing, touching and also extremely entertaining. The story includes a full cast of characters that work well together even though some of their personalities are off the chart. Jen Luerssen makes this story work in all the right ways!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

My Free Life: Prequel to The Brothers of Camelot, by Necie Navone, is the third book in the My Life Series. This coming of age thrilling suspense continues from My Hidden Life, the second book of the series. The author has taken this series/book into a side we don’t typically see, a strong woman carrying a role we often see/read that are held by men. Alessandra is an epic character and I enjoyed seeing her grow further in this book between the choices she continues to make and the paths she attempts to maneuver through. Necie Navone is a strong and creative author, her writing style continues to improve with her fascinating and intriguing tales that she weaves with unforgettable characters.

Degrees of Acceptance is the next instalment in Via Mari’s Prestian series where we continue to follow along Katarina’s journey of discovery – emotional, personal … sexual … Chase keeps being relentless and (over)protective and yes, we finally get to know Katarina’s father … You absolutely need to read the first book as this is not a standalone, Degrees of Acceptance picks up where Degrees of Innocence leaves off!
The writer fulfils our expectations (that I had after finishing the first book) and we get plenty of action, suspense, humour, mystery and oh so steamy romance! I love how the writer uses the ‘degrees’ and yes, this story is very much about how much do we accept in our lives, to what degree are we able to accept when it comes to our friends, family and lovers … I cannot wait to see what ‘degree’ we are going to encounter in the third book!

Distant MemoryDistant Memory by Colleen S. Myers
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

A great read about changes. After the events of the previous novel, Elizabeth and her friends are desperate to rescue their friend Finn from the torturous ways of the E’mani. But when they meet a mysterious stranger called Selmay, they discover there may be more to the story. Searching for Finn, they find dangers in store and face new enemies closer to heart. Can they make it through it all and save their friend or will it be too late?
A great read. Well developed plot. The sense of uneasy quiet after the war while having villains still at large was brilliantly done full of tensions and suspense to keep you reading. New characters like Selmay were well developed seeking revenge but kind underneath or Texxak as mysterious and ambitious or Roger given more of a story with his past. I also liked how this trilogy continues to stick to Elizabeths perspective in the narrative as we follow her journey and is easy to follow in the first person.
I als0 loved the use of lab settings throughout the novel with the sense of claustrophobia and small spaces/ corridors for unease. In particular with the red lighting and dangerous walls in one lab later on which was excellently done. And then the contrast with open spaces and forests of outside which was a great combination. I also liked the sense of fantasy of winged creatures but the realism of science and computer hacking. And in this the feel of finding a family in the Remains and working together to stop horrible things from happening The only issue I would raise is that there was repetition at tunes at the beginning with long sentences which were hard to read. It also seemed slow paced and this could be resolved with a few more action scenes or conflicts to help keep the reader engaged. Overall, a great read and I would give it four stars.

Courage (The Sisterhood Series #2)Courage
By: Chelsi Arnold
My Rating: 5 of 5 stars

Courage (The Sisterhood Series #2) by Chelsi Arnold was a action packed, feels kicking read that, not only had me hooked it may have, made me shears some tears…. may have.

This second instalment picks up where the last book left off, jumping right back into that heart squeezing moment. It sets the stage, that this book is going to be more of a gut puncher then the first. I have to warn you this is a continuation series, so the first book is a must, before jumping into this one. Plus that book sets the groundwork for this one, you will not get the same impact or the same connection, if you skip that first amazing instalment.

This book is multi layered, complex and hits you right in the heart and home. The things that are being described, the way things fall apart it a little bit, scary, only because you can draw some comparison to things that are currently happening in the world today. Again like the last book the writing is smooth and easy to follow. There is a dark, desperate tone that hovers throughout the pages. It puts you on edge, and really drives home all that is happening.

This book, this series is a must read and I can’t wait for the next installment. Greer and her sisters are put to the test, and the lengths that they will go through, is nothing less then courageous. But at what cost? The only way to know is to take my super high recommendation and my stamp of approval, that you will power through this book in order to find out how far these women will go.

Happy Reading

☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆
This is a full novel in the Sisterhood Series. A story of female Navy Seals, and their acts of courage and bravery.

Chelsi Arnold has taken this series to a higher level. In my opinion. Female Navy Seals is something I had not read in a book. I had always read about our boys in uniform. This is definitely a nice change. Women having strength, courage and bravery. Working beside the men, as equals. I love this series!!! Her story is believable and her characters are amazing. I will not give you any spoilers! As I have grand respect for this author and her sisters. It is just a story you will have to read, as I have. All the feels are there, laughter, crying and anger are just a few I had experienced. Well worth the read for sure. I am so ready for the next one in this series. Job well done Chelsi Arnold!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Elegantly Denim: An Elegant Prelude by Tee Smith is the prequel to her new Elegant Series and what a great start to this series. This is a shorter story, novella length, which made this a quickie read for a rainy day. Following the story of Denim Gargliano, you get a taste of the man behind the family. He is definitely an enigma, but the more that you get to read into his story the more that his façade is all for the reputation and not a true depiction of the man himself. While this was just a taste of a story I can’t wait to read more of Denim. Smith is a new to me author, but I am glad that I picked this story up. I can’t wait to see where this series goes in the future as this story really wet my appetite for more of her writing style.

This the back story of Denim. Of how he became who he is today. The family and things in his life that made him. He is powerful, in a business all about money and power. But above all, he has a heart. He has to trust it and his instincts.

This is the first book I have read in this series, so I had nothing to base this book off of. It seemed like there was a lot going on in this short story, but I assume it will make more sense after I read more of the series. Do not get me wrong though, this seemed like a great way to introduce us to Denim and see how he became who he is. He is not untouchable, and this book reflects this perfectly. It is well written and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Denim seemed like an interesting character and I cannot wait to see more of him in the next book. There is plenty going on in this book, you will not be able to put it down and be disappointed when you come to the the end too quickly.

I highly recommend this book!

Across From YouAcross From You by Amabel Daniels
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Across from You by Amabel Daniels is a standalone romantic comedy that I fell in love with from the first page. Following Lexi Regan and Jack O’Connor, you will find yourself smiling and feeling your heart strings being tugged. Lexi is a woman that has been publicly shamed, more than once, and is attempting to hid from the world while she licks her wounds. While she has sworn off men, there is something about Jack that keeps her coming back for him. Jack is at the point in his life where he is looking for love, and willing to do whatever it takes to make Lexi see how good they are together. From the first moment that he met her, he knew that she was the one for him. The banter back and forth between Jack and Lexi really was quite refreshing, making me laugh out loud more than once. The chemistry and shenanigans that these two found themselves in made this story such a treat to read. After everything that happened to Lexi in her past it is going to take Jack everything that he has to get Lexi to trust in his feelings for her. Will he succeed? Will Lexi be willing to trust another man with her heart when she was hurt so badly in the past? Daniels is a newer to me author, having only read one other book of hers in the past, but I am so glad that I picked this one up. If you are looking for a great romance novel that will take your breath away and keep you roped in from beginning to end than this is one that you need to add to your TBR now! I can’t wait to see what is next for Daniels’ readers, cause I am sure it will be great!

Denim is the oldest son in his family and owns businesses but still feels he’s missing something from his life.
We see snippets of things happening that show he is a good person and doesn’t like the alterations he finds himself in as the boss.

Embattled Hearts (Lost and Found #1)
By J.M. Madden
Rated 5 stars

This is a romantic suspense story. I loved all these guys! Who doesn’t have a soft spot for military men??? These are men who have been damaged physically as well as mentally. They are now just trying to get by and survive day by day. So opening Lost N Found Investigative has helped them all.

John was an amazing character even though he was grumpy and hates people. I loved being inside his head and seeing all the angst and turmoil boiling through his veins. I could easily understand his feelings. His childhood to his adulthood…he is one who slipped through and came out blazing on the other side.

Shannon is a wonder herself. She has a soft heart and loves to cook for those men. She is a woman with a past. It’s been under wraps but now it’s coming back to haunt her. She was so so good for John. Shannon is very confident and that is what John needs.

There were side stories which include one with Duncan and one with Chad, Zeke and a few others. They were all interesting but I think Chad, Zeke and crew were great and What a fun way to get to know them. I am seeing possible future stories here.

This is a first time author for me. The story flowed nicely and the characters were strong. I am loving this crew so I can’t wait to read the next one….preview in the back so I got a Sneak Peak!!!!

/0 Comments/in /by

Can't Forget (Solum, #2)Can’t Forget by Colleen S. Myers
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Can’t Forget is the second installment in Colleen S. Myers’ Solum Series, that takes off right where the first one ends. Elizabeth (Beta) Camden is struggling to understand her memories of the time she was with the E’mani. She’d thought that she had repressed them and lost them for good, until they begin creeoing their way back into her head. Unable to understand then and what the E’mani did to her while she was captive, sends her on the path of revenge to take down the E’mani’s stronghold in the dead of night. If Beta can’t forget her past, she won’t have a future.
It took me awhile to get into this series and enjoy the books, as all the new information is thrown rapidly at the reader, and it takes a minute to orientate yourself. Which can sometimes be an effective writing device, but other times it can feel a bit rushed and things get lost in translation. I found this to be the case for the start, and had to go back and forth to make sure I understood everything clearly and correctly. After I settled in and got the hang of everything I really started to enjoy the series and this book in particular. Marin and Beta’s chemistry together was fantastic and will leave you feeling flushed and giddy. Their tension was very well written and almost had me wanting more. I also enjoyed the creativity that went into writing this series and combination of magic and technology. I thought it was done very well, as it’s not a combination that you see often, or that works well together. But the author definitely proved that wrong.
Overall I gave Can’t Forget 3/5 stars.

Born to Fight (Can't Resist You, #1)Born to Fight by Brittany Anne
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Born to Fight is Book 1 in The Can’t Resist You Series from author Brittany Anne, this is my first read from this author and after being introduced to her writing style and incredibly captivating read – I cannot wait to see what else she brings to Book 2 and anything else she writes.

The synopsis of this read definitely intrigued me just for the pure fact that it’s a dystopian read but this read felt so much more real and deeper than normal dystopian reads, it left me wanting more and Brittany Anne did not disappoint. She has created two amazing characters that you can’t help but love and want to discover more of their story and the journey they take.
This read is fast paced, action packed and full of suspense. I love how Rain and Hunter are thrown together and immediately they have a connection, both of these develop a connection that is right for the both of them! They are both strong, independent characters that are trying to carry on surviving in this world, is it something they can do together?

This read was mentally visual – I could imagine everything while reading it which made me even more connected to the read and the characters. Another great thing with this read was the secondary characters, they helped tell this story to an even bigger level as well as impacting Hunter & Rain’s journey.

This was an incredible read that I couldn’t put down and read in one sitting – it was completely compelling and addictive and I can’t wait for Book 2. I highly recommend this read! Don’t miss this amazing start to what I believe will be an incredibly action-packed, thrilling series!

AMAZING!!!! I love Maddie Wade and I love India Kells but together these two were phenomenal! When I saw these two had joined together to collaborate on a story I couldn’t wait to start it and I will admit I did have high expectations and they were met above and beyond what I thought. I loved every single minute of it. The two authors writing melded together perfectly, the storyline was fantastic and the characters were amongst some of the best I have read about so far this year. I couldn’t turn the pages quick enough as I was so captivated by everything that I was reading. There was suspense at every turn, it was action packed and so incredibly well written. There were plenty of twists and turns that kept me guessing about what was going to happen until the end.
Deadly Alliance is an incredible story written by two very talented authors who I really hope will team up again in the future!!

Across From YouAcross From You by Amabel Daniels
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Across From You by Amabel Daniels is a fun, romantic read. The story alternates between between Lexi and Jake. Lexi is recovering from a breakup that went viral and has decided she needs a break from relationships. Jake is looking for the right woman despite having a reputation as a Casanova. The two see each other at an art class while Jake is a nude model. Several days later they meet again at a wedding.
The two characters are fun and realistic. I like that both have a good dialogue. Also, who can resist a good looking, intelligent man and a spunky female. This was a fun read that kept me laughing. I will be looking for more from Amabel Daniels in the future.

Courage (The Sisterhood Series) by Chelsi Arnold – Review by Katie Matthews

Courage (The Sisterhood Series #2)Courage by Chelsi Arnold
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

 

After reading and loving book 1 in this series I was really looking forward to starting this one and I wasn’t disappointed at all. I really love this authors writing and whilst it is set in the (not too distant) future she is able to make you feel like I right there in the story by giving her characters a realistic feel. I love the women in this series, they are so strong, independent and I love the way they are with each other, it’s really refreshing to read about women in the military and I think that is why I am loving this series as much as I am. The detail the author uses is rich and I couldn’t turn the pages quick enough to find out what was going to happen to Greer and her Navy SEAL sisters.
A fabulous book in a wonderful series and I cannot wait to read more from this author in the future. I highly recommend this series!

Courage (The Sisterhood Series)
By Chelsi Arnold

Courage is the second book in the Sisterhood series by Chelsi Arnold. I had the pleasure of reading and reviewing Brave book one in the series and I am happy to say Courage is just as good as Brave, so good I can’t pick a favorite between them both. I do suggest that you start with Brave for background history. This book continues on with the wonderful sisterhood we had in book one and the story line will have you hooked right from the start, in some places the storyline will hit you in the heart and will also in some places will have you sitting on the edge of your seat just waiting to see what is going to happen on the next page. Its great to read another book that features brilliant brave and strong women. This group of women are like family and there is nothing they wouldn’t do for each other. Ms. Arnold has put such depth into the story I am sure like me you will feel part of the storyline. What more could you want to enjoy a book? I recommend that this series is read so please add it to your to read list and enjoy.

Courage by Chelsi Arnold

5- stars

Courage by Chelsi Arnold is a phenomenal story, if I could rate this more than a 5 star I certainly would. This story follows a group of incredibly brave SEAL’s as they continue to fight for freedom, this is the second book in The Sisterhood Series, having said that I would strongly suggest starting with book one as this book follows where the first book left off.

I loved this book from start to finish, I ended up reading it in one sitting as I couldn’t bring myself to stop reading, I was completely captivated by this storyline! Just like the first book Chelsi Arnold took me on an emotional roller coaster ride, this story is dark, detailed, action-packed, heart-wrenching, shocking and aggravating all while being uplifting at the same time.

This is a book I could reread time and time again and I would absolutely recommend it to others, it’s a story that should not be missed.

My Free Life: Prequel to The Brothers of Camelot (My Life Series Book 3)
By: Necie Navone
5 out of 5 stars

The story My Free Life: Prequel to The Brothers of Camelot (My Life Series Book 3) by Necie Navone is a coming of age book. It is a story that hooked me in from the very beginning and I didn’t want to put down until I had finished the last page. It has action, suspense, and danger. It is a book that had me on the edge of my seat wondering what was going to happen next. It is the continuing story of the girl who is now the Capo Donna. She is in charge of Family business and does her job well. She has been trained in self-defense in the Family since she was a little girl and has proven herself time and again. This story finds the Capo Donna closer to the dream of a “free life.” She is a beautiful, strong, and independent woman. She is someone who doesn’t shy away from saying what she means and telling the truth when she needs to. Will she finally make good her escape and start to live a normal and “free” life? Read this book to find out. Many of the characters that are in this book have been brought forward from the first two. I loved how the Capo Donna has so many that are loyal to her and would do anything to help her. She has a family by blood who she loves dearly, and they love her as well. There are also those who are introduced in this story that have their own agenda and who have evil intentions. What will happen when these men go up against the Capo Donna and the Family? There are heartbreaking times and heartwarming times in this story. One of the things I love about the book is that it is very detailed, and I felt like I was right there with the characters facing what they did. Wonderfully written with amazing characters this is a story that I would highly recommend reading. This is a series of books that should be read in order.

A Must for Christmas: A Darling Cove Novella
By: Deborah Garland
5 out of 5 stars

The novella A Must for Christmas by Deborah Garland is a holiday romance book. It is a wonderful story and I couldn’t put it down until I had finished the last page. You reunite with Faith and Greg Mallory of the Darling Cove series. It is the Christmas season and they are about to become parents. A few dark clouds have appeared. Stress causes early labor and complications. Greg is right there with Faith, however, fear and worry can be overwhelming when waiting for word from the doctors. What does this Christmas season hold for Greg and Faith? Read this book to find out. I enjoyed reading about Faith and Greg once again. I also enjoyed reading about the additional characters that are from the series and are friends/family to this couple. This story has heartwarming/touching scenes and others when you wonder what is going to happen next. The book is written in such as way that you can feel the characters emotions and mine went up and down with them all the way through. This is a perfect story to add to the Darling Cove series and one that you will not want to miss out on. Highly recommended reading. I personally would read this novella after all of the other books in the series. It helps to do this in order to understand some of the situations that are described and who all the players/characters are.
