Hard as Steel: Book four (Hard as Steel: Book four by Virginia Wine
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Hard as Steel is the fourth book in Virginia Wine’s Surviving series. This is my first encounter with the writer and I have to confess that I fell for her, hook, line, and sinker from page 1! The way she pulls you in … the way she paints the picture in your head … I had chills going down my arms! I know I should have read the first books before picking up this one but heck, I can do it now (they are all on KU so I will be utilizing it to its fullest this month!)!
This is the story of Steel Archer, an ex-military who is working with PI Securities, and Nicole Lancaster who is an experienced FBI Agent committed to her career and climbing the ladder with another promotion in sight … And then they pick up a case – a broken young woman, who walked out of the shadows … she pulls them both in and the journey through ever present danger commences!
This story … it is so multi layered … and luckily there were plenty of flashbacks that helped the story along … these flashbacks … the way the writer paints the picture … you can just close your eyes and you are there … feeling …
I loved how the writer used different point of views to tell the story, it made it so real and intimate … pick up a copy and I promise, you will want to go back like me and read the first three as well! AND I cannot wait for the continuation of the story of that young broken girl I met on page one!

My Tragic Life: Brothers of Camelot Prequel (My Life Series Book 2)My Tragic Life: Brothers of Camelot Prequel by Necie Navone
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

My Tragic Life is the second book in the Brothers of Camelot by Necie Navone. I would highly recommend reading the first book as you will enjoy this book even more. Necie is an amazing author that keeps the story moving and sometimes throws a curve ball in the action. It is an addicting read so make sure you have time to read it in one sitting. The story is about the Alessandra and her role as the princess of the Italian Mob family. There was an incident when she was 6 and that is when her life changed. Her father became more neurotic and started to get Alessandra trained. She had started to train at the age of 8 by her uncle. She keeps training for the simple reason of becoming a bad ass. In public she is a Princess, but om reality she is a fierce bad ass getting ready to become the Queen of the Italian Family. I cannot wait to see what the future has in store for Alessandra.

Can’t Forget (Solum Series) by Colleen S. Myers – Review by Sarah Oakes

Can't ForgetCan’t Forget by Colleen S. Myers
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

A great read about remembering. Elizabeth was abducted by aliens called the E’mani and taken to a far away planet but she fled from them to another race called the Forst. A few months later she finds her happy ever after in marriage and a baby. But the E’mani are not far behind and the threat of war looms. Will the Forst be able to stop the E’mani and war before it’s too late?
A great read. Well developed plot with twists and turns. Well developed characters like Marin protecting everyone but kind underneath or Elizabeth standing up for herself but loving underneath. Great cast of supporting characters like the kind old mentor Ute or the fun friend Hana. A spinechilling villain.
I loved the visual detail throughout the novel like with the sci fi nature of the place with glistening lakes and icy world of two suns with blue and green shadows for a futuristic yet beautiful sense of nature.
And the sense of detail in the world with the layout and clan tents and greenhouses clearly thought out and described as if you were exploring it too.
I also loved the use of foreboding over the whole wedding scenes which was beautifully done. The use of flashbacks memories was done well and didn’t distract from the narrative of the present and added to the mystery. The only issue I would raise is that there was some repetition in places which if resolved would be five stars. Overall, a great read and I would give it four stars.

This is the third book in this series, I highly suggest reading the previous books before this to help your enrichment of this series. In this book Ellizabeth is determined to get Finn back from E’manis. I enjoyed how we get to see her learning more about who she is. She is a strong character, we get to see how strong she is as she sets out on revenge. This book is action from start to finish and left me sitting on the edge just waiting to see what happens next. I highly recommend this book.

Player by Pamela DuMond is the first book in the 21st Century Courtesan series. This book is full of mystery and intrigue and it will keep you reading through to the end.
Evie has a rather unusual second job. Hired as an escort to the wealthiest around due to her empathetic abilities she is able to earn enough money to support her family.

This is the third book in this series, it can be read as a standalone but I highly suggest reading the previous books as they are just as enjoyable. This is a friends to lovers story that I had a hard time putting down. I enjoyed Bailey and Carter’s chemistry together both as friends and the hot, steamy part of their relationship. They are both looking for something and I found myself hoping they would find each other. I highly recommend reading their story, will they find their HEA?

Once Upon a Romance (A Dream Come True Book 1)
By: Alex Bailey
5 out of 5 stars

The story Once Upon a Romance (A Dream Come True Book 1) by Alex Bailey is a book that I absolutely loved reading. The story caught my interest from the moment that I read that it involved a famous theme park. It hooked me in from the very beginning of the book and the “magic” of both the theme park and the holidays took over so I couldn’t put it down until I had read the final page. I loved reading about the characters of Sophie and her niece Ariel. From the moment that Sophie learns of Ariel’s wish to honor her mother’s memory by going to the one place that her mother loved so much, she knew that she must make that wish come true. Even if it meant reliving past, sometimes painful, memories. She says she will find a way to get through it for Ariel. Ariel is a young girl who although has lost her mother she is loved and supported by family. I found Ariel to be someone who takes notice of details in life and seems to be able to understand things beyond her years. When they run into a kind, friendly, and charming stranger who offers his knowledge about the theme park Sophie feels relief. Could her attitude regarding the vacation to the theme park be changing? Sophie has a boyfriend who is reliable and stable. Her heart belongs to him, doesn’t it? What does the future hold for Sophie? Will she find herself guided by the magic all around her? Will that “magic” help the charming stranger win over Sophie’s heart? Read this book to find out. This is a heartwarming story that I found myself thinking about even after I had finished the book. I love the attention to detail that the author gives. I felt like I was right there with Sophie and Ariel seeing what they did. It is also a book that had my emotions going up and down all throughout. This is a wonderfully written story that I would highly recommend reading.

Embrace the Passion (Pets in Space Anthologies, #3)Embrace the Passion by S.E. Smith
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

 

Another fantastic collection of stories from this brilliant series of anthologies. All eleven stories were great to read and enjoyed all of them. Some of these authors I have read before but some were new to me and it was really great to find new authors to love! There isn’t one particular story that I enjoyed the most but there are a couple that have stuck in mind because of their uniqueness one being ‘Operation Ark by Pauline Baird Jones’. I really enjoyed everything about it, the authors writing was rich and detailed and I felt like I was there in the story with the characters.
I’m not usually a fan of alien stories but ‘Desert Hunter by Anna Hackett’ certainly changed my mind about that! From the very first page I was completely captivated by the storyline, the characters and the authors writing.
Overall a great anthology full of exciting stories of which I am sure there is something for everyone!

Getting the Goods by Elizabeth Perry is a brilliant and funny book that will have you laughing out loud while speed reading to find out what will happen next.
From the moment I read the blurb I knew this was a book I had to read. I wanted to know immediately why the sperm needed stealing. I wanted to know how it goes wrong. I wanted to know what the reaction was to then meeting her new boss.
This book definitely did not disappoint in any way at all. It was entertaining and funny and such an enjoyable read. This was an entirely new author for me and I just loved her way of telling this story. I cannot wait to read more of her work.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Bound by Blood by Carrie Pulkinen is the third book in her Crescent City Wolf Pack series. This book can be read as a stand-alone however I fully believe that you should read this whole series as it is that good.
The author has yet again weaved another tale that will hook you in from the start and keep you reading. I couldn’t wait to find out how Bryce would discover Alexis’s secret. The two characters worked really well together. They were both strong and could help themselves, however it was nice to see them be help to the other as well.
This series has been interesting so far and this book has been a great addition to it. The author really knows how to tell a great story and to keep you invested, not just in the book but in the whole series. I can’t wait to see what else is to come.

Hard as Steel: Book four (Hard as Steel: Book four by Virginia Wine
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Hard as Steel is Book 4 in the Surviving Series from author Virginia Wine. This book has romance, suspense and mystery from the start. I was captivated and thoroughly enjoyed this read from the start.
Even though these reads can be read as a stand-alone personally I did find that I felt I was missing bits of information that I could have got if I had read the previous three in this series, but nevertheless this book has given me a brilliant introduction into Virginia Wine’s writing style, plots and captivating characters.

You cannot dispute how intense this read is whether that’s from the twists and turns that are thrown our way throughout, the steamy scenes or the guessing game you play in which you keep losing because the author always has to keep you guessing with new clues.
Steel and Nicole our two main characters have an amazing chemistry, but is what these two develop enough to break the wall that Nicole has built so high? Or keep the calmness that Steel needs in his life?
I love that this book was told from various POV’s it gives us the opportunity to really understand each character, their thoughts and feelings and also their actions, it definitely brings you closer to each character.

Overall this is a brilliant book that has opened up the chance to experience a new author her work, and the rest of the books in this series! With the rest of the secondary characters within this read, I can’t wait for them to get their own story to tell!
Don’t miss this read!

Getting the Goods
By: Elizabeth Perry
5 out of 5 stars

The story Getting the Goods by Elizabeth Perry is a new adult/romantic comedy book. This is a story that hooked me in from the first chapter and I didn’t want to put it down until I had read the final page. It is a book that had me with a smile on my face more times than not and almost falling off the couch laughing. Not only is the story hilarious it also has two main characters that I loved reading about. She has a plan: find a hot man, get a hotel room, and go from there. What she doesn’t plan on is getting caught as a thief and the situations that happen after. He is a man that doesn’t believe that he will ever be in a relationship. She is a strong, stubborn, and determined woman. While the two of them are attracted to each other when these two are together they annoy each other most of the time. This story includes the main characters bantering back and forth with each other and sarcasm can be found in many of these conversations. Will she finally get what she was seeking from him in the first place? What does the future hold for them? Read this book to find out. There are some steamy scenes in this story that will make the temperature in the room rise. This story also has additional characters that you are introduced to. I enjoyed reading about the part that they played in the story and their interactions with the main characters. If you are looking for a book that will tickle your funny bone this is one I highly recommend reading.

An Agreement by Lindsay Marie Miller is the third book in her Summer in New York series. This book is a fantastic friends to lovers story that will have you so invested in the characters you won’t want to stop reading.
This author in an author who really knows how to write a good story. As with her other books this one flowed well, had great paced and was interesting. I have always loved a friends to lovers story and for me Lindsay did this so well. I absolutely fell in love with the characters. They were so relatable and engaging. I really believed how strong the feelings Carter had for Bailey were.
All the way through this book the author had me captivated. I hadn’t read any in this series previously and that is something I will be changing immediately.

Distant Memory (The Solum Series Book 3)
By Colleen S. Myers
Rated 5 stars

I am so glad to be reading this third book. I can not even explain my feelings after finishing. Happy, Sad, frustrated? Well a bit of all three. The story picks up where the last one left off. Finn has been taken and Beta (Elizabeth) is determined to find him. Her relationship with Marin is still a bit rocky and they each are dealing with trust issues.

This story is full of action! Pretty much from the beginning. It’s also full of twists and turns. Sometimes I wasn’t sure which way I wanted to story to go. I can only imagine poor Elizabeth (Beta) having to make these decisions. I easily became involved in the characters and the story. I had a hard time putting this down. Reading this felt like coming home.

There are a ton a characters. We met many of the new ones in the last book. We are able to revisit with many of them here. While they are all actively involved they don’t Steal the story away from the main characters. I enjoyed all of these characters immensely
(Even Xade). Getting to know them and basically becoming involved in their lives I will miss hanging out with them. Wondering what adventure Beta (Elizabeth) is going to go on next. So rereading is what will be on board for this series.

I kinda felt at loose ends when finishing. So I’m not sure if there will be another in the series or not. I am very glad I found this series and highly recommend it to any science fiction readers with a side of romance.

Getting the Goods
By Elizabeth Perry
Rated 5 stars!!

OMG! This story! It’s so freaking good! I could NOT put this book down! Whether its from the shocking things that come out of Gabrielle’s mouth or the sexy sweet Conner. I really never know what is going to happen next. I enjoyed the love, friendship, fun times and desperation that filled this book. I really want to share scenes but I don’t want to give anything away! Just read it!

Conner and Gabrielle were the best main characters. Conner is arrogant and sexy and my favorite. Gabrielle is snarky and accident prone, on a mission and my favorite. Be prepared to laugh and be in shock with your mouth hanging open when around these two or just Gabriella. Now I am not usually a fan of men calling women “baby or babe,” but coming out of Conners mouth it doesn’t sound degrading at all. He uses it as a definite term of endearment. When he says “Babes”….I just get a mushy inside.

Gabriella and her best friend, Maria are completely over the top sometimes but it all fits together perfectly. They made me laugh and *snort* a few times. They have a back and forth banter that i couldn’t stop smiling over. They are friends til the end and all the times in between.

Conner in the Epilogue….OMG! This is why I love this man! He is strong, sexy and confident…except over one thing. He just melts my heart! That is one of the best epilogues I have read in a while!

This is my first book by this author. I am impressed and will be watching for future books by her. The story…..unpredictable. The characters….unpredictable. See a theme here? This is an amazing book that will be re-read for years to come! Thank you it’s Outstanding!

The story Distant Memory: She remembered everything (Solum Series Book 3) by Colleen S. Myers is a fantasy/science fiction book. It is one that I have been looking forward to reading. This is a series that I have enjoyed since the first book. I didn’t want to put this story down until I had read the final page. I loved reading about Elizabeth “Beta” Camden. Beta is a character that you only grow to love with each chapter of each book that you read. She is strong, independent, and stubborn. She is also smart and resourceful. This is a story that I went into having a lot of questions and wondering if all of them would be answered. It is a book that had me turning pages in order to find out what happens next and if everyone is standing in the end. There is action and danger around every corner and I was always wondering who can really be trusted. The story has truths that are revealed and plans put into motion. Most of the additional characters are ones brought forward from the first two books along with some new ones. I enjoyed reading about everyone’s part that they play and their interactions with Beta. This is a wonderfully written story and series. Highly recommended reading.

This is the first book that I have read by this author so obviously I read this as a standalone – I definitely think I would have benefited from reading the previous books in the series however I quickly read through the reviews so I kind of had an idea of what had happened previously. I enjoyed the story, I thought the characters were complex which meant I had to work a little harder to understand them, so it wasn’t a particularly easy read but I kind of liked that about the book. There were some good plot twists that definitely meant that I was constantly guessing what was going to happen next. The author’s writing was rich and detailed and I could really feel those emotional times coming across well. Whilst I didn’t connect with the characters, Steel and Nicole, as much as I thought I would or wanted to I did enjoy reading their story. I would definitely like to read more from this author and this series again in the future.

It is also a murder mystery that is action packed and well paced. I felt that the characters needed a little more developing but the plot is interesting and keeps you entertained as this mystery unfolds.

Wren is accused of murder by cupcake and has a month to find out who framed her and who the actual murderer is and clear her name.

This is a read for those who enjoy fantasy and magic and an unusual murder mystery.

Once Upon a Romance(A Dream Come True Book 1)
By Alex Bailey
Rated 5 stars!

First off I LOVE the cover! Very holiday and Disney-ish. A Perfect Mesh! It drew me to this and after reading the synopsis I grabbed it. The story just appealed to me. A WDW fan and the love of family. Both are Win-Wins for me. One of my favorite things is how the magic of Christmas mixes with the magic of Disney.

The characters were well thought out and grew over the story. I enjoyed how grumpy and grouchy Sophie was at the beginning. She off-set Ariel’s nice attitude. Ariel was a sweetheart and a little matchmaker. The families and that one “special guy” were full of fun and happiness as well. Even the crazy characters they run across on their trip were lots of fun. They were all a great addition to the story.

I loved all the Disney themed comments, actions and fun. The rides and the lines as well as their days planned throughout each park. I really felt like I took this adventure along with them. So Fun!

This book will appeal to Disney fans and all of those who believe in a little magic. A wonderful story of learning to get over loss while opening yourself up to new possibilities. There are so many reasons to love this book.

P.S.
I enjoyed reading the acknowledgments and was surprised at all the different Disney websites that were listed. I plan to keep them for reference for my next trip.
Thanks!

The story Degrees of Control (A Prestian Series Book 3) by Via Mari is a contemporary romance book. It is a story that hooks you in from the very beginning and I didn’t want to put down until I had read the final page. I have loved this series since reading the first book. One of the reasons is the amazing characters of Chase Prestian and Katarina Mellers. In this story, Katarina deals with her issues of trust and of information regarding actions that have been taken in which she doesn’t feel right about. After turning down Chase’s marriage proposal she soon finds herself having to pretend that she has accepted in order to draw out the man who has put her and others in danger. You can feel the conflict that Katarina has as she knows that she still loves Chase, however, doesn’t know how to reconcile that with her personal convictions of right and wrong. Chase is always looking out for Katarina and her safety. He is still fiercely protective of her. He is also not willing to give up on the feelings of love that he has for Katarina. Both Chase and Katarina still feel the passion and desire that has always been part of their relationship. Will they be able to navigate the rough waters that they find themselves in and come out together on the other side? Will the one that has put their lives in an upheaval be caught? How much danger are they really in? Read this story to find out. With each story that I read, I only grow to love Chase and Katarina more. They are a couple that I believe are meant for each other. Their steamy romance makes the temperature in the room rise. Don’t miss out on this next part of their story. Highly recommended book and series.

The anthology Cowboy: Claimed is a wonderful set of stories that include cowboys and romance. I found myself not able to put them down for long once I started. I just had to know how they ended. They had my emotions going up and down as I read about how the main characters of each story interact with each other. Most find themselves thrown together by circumstance while others reconnect. They find that they have a desire to be with each other and their attraction to each other is undeniable. Will their feelings for each other lead to them getting an HEA? Read these stories to find out. There is heartbreaking moments in the stories as well as heartwarming ones. Sometimes forgiveness is needed to move on and other times just the main characters meeting is enough to start them down their path. I also loved reading about the additional characters that are introduced in each story. I love to read anthologies as I always get to discover new authors. All of these authors have created amazing and wonderful reads that I will not soon forget. I have only recently started reading more in the western genre and I find that it is quickly becoming a favorite of mine. Don’t miss out on this anthology. Highly recommended.

It is a story that hooked me in from the beginning and I didn’t want to put it down until I had read the final page. It is part of a series that I have loved since reading the first book. I loved reading about the characters of Bailey and Carter. Bailey is a woman who has her own clothing boutique and also sometimes designs her own clothes. She is talented, hard-working, and successful. She is also looking for Mr. Right. Could Carter be him? Carter believes he is a broken man. Although he thinks about her constantly, he tells himself that he is not good for her. These two enter into an agreement in which Carter will help Bailey understand men. These two are attracted to each other. Bailey does have insecurities and doesn’t believe that someone like Carter would want someone like her. Friends are all these two will ever be, right? There is a chemistry between them. What does the future hold for Bailey and Carter? Will they finally get out of the friend zone and find happiness together? Will they get an HEA? Read this book to find out. Bailey and Carter are two characters that I grew to love with each chapter that I read. They are characters that I could empathize with and also root for. I also enjoyed the additional characters that are in the story. Many of them have been brought forward from other books in the series. Others are new. I enjoyed reading about the parts that they play in the book and their interactions with Bailey and Carter. This story is also one that had my emotions going up and down the entire time that I read it. There are times that are heartbreaking and also times that are heartwarming. A wonderfully written story with amazing characters. Highly recommended book and series.

Savannah's Saviors (Cowboys of Cavern County, #5)Savannah’s Saviors by Bella Settarra
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Savannah’s Saviors by Bella Settarra is the fifth book in The Cowboys of Cavern County. This book can be read as a standalone. It is a story about second chances, trust and having faith. This is the story of Savannah, who was found on a dark road, perhaps suffering from hypothermia. She was found by two handsome cowboys, Tom and Greg. After finding out about Savannah’s life on their own, they knew what and who they wanted.

In a Savannah Saviors, you will be taken on an emotional roller coaster ride that has many unexpected twists and turns. The writing draws you in and keeps you engaged to the last page. I definitely recommend this book.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is the second book in this series, it’s not a standalone and reading the first book is a must. Loved both of these books! Laurie continues to hide from her past, knowing that one day it may catch up to her. What will happen when it does? I loved the emotional ride this book gave me as well as the sitting on the edge of my seat suspense. Laurie and Aiden are great together even though she is fighting her feelings for him. Find out what happens when the Devil comes calling! A must read!

Hard as Steel: Book four (Hard as Steel: Book four by Virginia Wine
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Hard as Steel is book four in the Surviving Series by Virginia Wine. This is the first book O have read by this author and would have benefited by reading the other books in the series, just to get a better handle on the characters. The way this author writes a story is well thought out, detailed and emotional.

Steel’s job as a private investigator keeps him too busy for a relationship. But that comes to an abrupt end when he meets an unforgettable woman. It is a delicate battle of wills and denial. An extremely entertaining battle, amd only with one outcome.

I really liked Hard as Steel and struggled to put it down. It was an action packed adventure. 4 stars.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

  • Bound By Blood Crescent City Wolf Pack Series by Carrie Pulkinen

5-Stars

Alexis is a rogue and has always kept to herself. She has never let herself stay in one place and has always managed to get by. She hasn’t ever wanted to stay in one place, not even for her sister, until she gets to know her sister’s former partner Bryce. Attractive, sculpted, and confident, Bryce is promoted to a new position. He is attracted to Alexis but afraid to share his sensitive side. She has her own secrets but as they spend more time together following a near death experience for Alexis they fall for each other. Alexis struggles to accept fate and let him in and does not want to get him mixed up in why she nearly died.

This was such a great addition to this series. It can be read as a standalone novel but I highly recommend reading the other books as well. The characters are developed well and grow as the storyline easily flows from one event to the other. It’s easy to get lost in this novel and lose track of time. There are a few sexual scenes they may be difficult for some but I felt that it gave the romance developing between the main characters some spice. Such a great read!
