Give and Take (The Thorne Brothers, #2)Give and Take by Lee Kilraine
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Give & Take is book two in The Thorne Brothers series by Lee Kilraine. My first read by this author. It’s just the beginning of something beautiful. I was impressed beyond my wildest dreams. Elation at finding yet another epically talented author was an emotion that I became very familiar with. I don’t know where they get all this talent. My talent can fit into my pinky nail. I am forever thankful for the time, effort and heart that goes into these stories. I just can’t get enough of them.

Now about this mind blowing cast of colourful characters the endlessly entertain with this hilarious antics, amusing idiosyncrasies, and never ending awkwardness, attractiveness and sensuality. I was constantly laughing, but this story was so much deeper than what I could ever have imagined from the beginning, and gave me so much more than I could have possibly dreamed of. Wyatt was a deep and tender hearted man that shouldered doubt and insecurities. His family was his support and Rhia the very one he never knew he needed. Rhia had her own set of troubles, but was so seriously entertaining, I could read about her for years. On paper, they were polar opposites. In reality, there could not be a more perfectly imperfect couple. Give & Take was pleasure personified, and The Thorne Brother series is a must have addition to my library. 5 stars.

Who (Stalker, #1)Who by Megan Mitcham
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Who: A Stalker Series Novel by Megan Mitcham​ is a story that is as powerful as it is explosive, as it is thrilling, as it is enticing, as it is sexy. This psychological thriller will keep you enthralled and intrigued and Megan did a fantastic job of layering each plot and mystery and revealing it slowly like something to be savoured. As if being a woman in a business world where you have to fight twice as hard to prove yourself wasn’t hard enough. But to be taunted and stalked is enough to break even the toughest of us but our heroine was able to kick arse both physically and verbally. And lets not forget her trusty friends and sidekicks, who had me laughing out loud and reminding us of what friends are for. Megan’s writing style is superb and the characters are strong and well written with emotions you can feel. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and can not and I mean can not wait to read the next one.

THE PLOT
By: Melinda De Ross
5 out of 5 stars

The story THE PLOT by Melinda De Ross is a wonderful romantic suspense book. It is a story I loved reading. It had me hooked from the very beginning and I didn’t want to put it down until I had read the last page. It is a story about a woman’s need for revenge but also about healing. I loved reading about the characters of Yoko Hirano and Mark Chandler. Yoko is a woman who was made part of a human trafficking organization. She escapes and then begins her plans for revenge against the organization and the man behind it. She is beautiful, determined, strong, and smart. Yoko is a woman who doesn’t always see herself in the best light. She doesn’t believe that anyone would want to fall in love with her after they find out about her past. She doesn’t believe in love, romance, or happy endings. Then she meets Mark. Mark Chandler owns his own antique business and is a man with secrets of his own. When he meets Yoko, he is very attracted to her and finds her foremost on his mind. Both Mark and Yoko are feeling emotions that they never have with anyone else and that puts them into uncharted waters. Where will their feelings lead them? Will Yoko find Mark to be the one that starts the healing process for her? Are these two soulmates? Will Yoko finally get the revenge against the organization and the man behind what she was made to endure? Read this book to find out. This is a story has moments that are sad and make you feel angry at what happened to Yoko. There are also heartwarming times and you can really feel the love and tenderness that Mark feels for her. There are also moments that are suspenseful and had me wondering what was going to happen next. There are scenes of passion and desire between Mark and Yoko included in this book. This is a wonderfully written story and one I would recommend reading.

The Fifth Knight: An Arthurian Legend Reverse Harem Romance (The Knights of Caerleon series Book 1)
By: Jesikah Sundin and Claire Luana
5 out of 5 stars

The story The Fifth Knight: An Arthurian Legend Reverse Harem Romance (The Knights of Caerleon series Book 1) by Jesikah Sundin and Claire Luana is a medieval/fantasy book. It is a story that hooks you in from the very beginning and I didn’t want to put it down until I had read the final page. I love fantasy books as they spark my imagination and I find myself lost in the pages of the story. I loved reading about the character of Fionna. She is a fierce and talented warrior. She is also independent and stubborn. She is forced into a course of action to save her father and sister. That action will have her stealing a faerie sword from a king. She is unprepared for what happens next. I also enjoyed reading about Arthur Pendragon and his sword brothers Lancelot, Galahad, and Percival. These four have a strong bond between them and I loved hearing them playfully banter back and forth with each other. Lancelot is one that has feelings for guilt and also a secret that he keeps. Arthur is a man of honor and believes that all that is happening in the Kingdom of Caerleon is his burden to bear. These brothers are all shocked and surprised when the fifth knight that Merlin has spoken of turns out to be Fionna. That the brothers and she are attracted to each other is undeniable. Their thoughts frequently turn toward each other. Is Fionna as the fifth knight the key to breaking the curse on the Kingdom of Caerleon? Fionna feels conflicted as she has to choose between betraying the king and knights that she has feelings for and saving her family. What will she do? Read this book to find out. This is a story that does have passion and romance included. There is also magic, enchantments, and danger. There is one that has their own selfish plans and will do anything to achieve them. The story is told from the POV of several of the characters. This is a wonderfully written story that had me turning pages to find out what happens next as well as rooting for the success of Fionna, Arthur, and the knights. This is the first book in a series and I look forward to reading further stories.

The description of this book immediately drew my attention. I was unsure what to expect from a reverse harem Arthurian fantasy. But it did not disappoint in the slightest. I love historical fantasies and this take on the Arthurian legend was refreshing, captivating, and dynamic. The book is full of rich detail, relatable characters, and a well-paced plot. This author collaboration is stellar and cohesive. I cannot wait to read more in this series. I will wholeheartedly recommend this book the others.

Romance in Rehoboth Boxed Set (Books 1-3)Romance in Rehoboth Boxed Set by K.L. Montgomery
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I give Romance in Rehoboth Boxed Set (Books 1-3) by K.L. Montgomery, 5 stars.

This set all revolves around the area around Rehoboth Beach, Delaware. Book One is about Claire, a woman whom is freshly divorced, forced to live with her parents again, and forty is looming right around the corner. Not to mention that she has always been the fat girl. The one good thing — her job as a blogger. She decides she wants to change befor she hits that ominous number. Her plan — to lose some weight, and be happy again. Will she be able to find happiness and romance again?

Book Two finds two childhood enemies reunited after the death of Aunt Penny. She willed them both her house, and now they are forced to work together to update the house and make it able to flip. A few weeks together renovating a house and then they’ll never have to deal with each other again. That is doable, isn’t it? Or is Aunt Penny still manipulating things from her grave?

In Book Three, Lindy has always considered herself to be the fat friend. But she loves her two best friends and when they keep bugging her, she finally joins them in auditioning for a musical a new local theater group is putting together. It can’t be too bad right?She can just stand in the background and sing, if she even makes it. Plus there is some great eye candy. Meric has been burned by his ex-wife. He is a geeky accountant by day, but he finally feels the pull again of the theater. Will this musical, and maybe the gorgeous Lindy, make him feel again?

This was my first introduction to this author and I won’t lie, I mainly started this series because I live near Rehoboth Beach. I enjoy a good romance, but it is not my favorite genre. These books and this author have completely changed my ideas and mind about romance! They are fun, the characters are sarcastic and so loveable. Each book has a different story too, not just the same story with different leads. Plus they all interconnect, characters from previous books make an appearance in the newer ones. Not only that, but each book can be read as a standalone if you prefer to read them out of order. (I admit, I was a bad girl and read book two first!).

If you like fun romance with great, crazy characters, this set is for you!

This was a quick read full of suspense and action. It’s told in 3rd person and it is a wonderful meshing of two fantastic series. I’ve read most of each series and it is my opinion that you can read this crossover even if you have not.

Even though this is a collaboration between two authors, it is written seamlessly. Had I not know I would not have guessed there are two different narrators to the story.

I appreciate that there are strong alpha females who are equal partners to their male counterparts.

I absolutely recommend this story.

I give ALTERATIONS TRILOGY: Alterations, Game Changer, Primal Will by Jane Suen, 5 stars.

This is a great collection! I would call it science fiction, but it could very easy become reality. It tells the story of Dr. Kite and a microchip that he invented that has mind control capabilities. But it is not approved yet and he needs test subjects. He gets those subjects, sometimes not in the most ethical ways. Three women have the implant inserted, all for different reasons. This trilogy is how their lives are affected by the implants. Remember the old saying, be careful what you wish for? Is this true or will they find happily ever after? And what about Dr. Kite? Will he become famous or will his invention come back to haunt him?

This was such an enjoyable series. It was like nothing I have ever read before and I enjoyed seeing just what each woman and the doctor himself went through throughout the course of this trilogy. Each book is about a different stage of their lives, and therefore makes each one different, yet still part of the whole picture. Very well written, the characters seem quite real, this could happen to someone you know. That’s probably the scariest thing! The story gets you right away and I could not put it down until I was done.

I highly recommend this trilogy to those who like science fiction and just what happens when you try to bend the laws of nature.

Who: A Stalker Series Novel by Meghan Mitcham

Four Stars
I love stories where the lead females are so strong. I also liked that the author didn’t make the female lead hard. She made it to were women reading this story can realize they can run a company without a man at their side and still be soft and feminine. It sucks that men still think that women can’t do anything without them. That men in high positions don’t consider women for jobs they deserve because they are not men. Larkin was a boss but she also had issues. Family can build you up but they can also be the reason that you’re broken inside. The writing style was jumpy at first. I didn’t know who was speaking or thinking but it cleared up after a while. Overall I enjoyed this story though it creeped me out with some of the stalker moments lol. Beckett is scared in more ways then one and it takes it’s toll on their relationship. Though you can’t really call it that when there are so many secrets between them. Larkin is very emotionally unstable and I didn’t trust anyone around her.

The Boss (Fire's Edge, #1)The Boss by Abigail Owen
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The Boss was a great 5 star read and book 1 in the Fire’s Edge series.

Finn is the leader of a group of dragon shifters. We get a glimpse into a very heartbreaking scene with Finn that shows us why he’s against finding a new mate. But when he meets Delaney there is something that draws him in, the need to protect her.

Delaney has tried to flee her stalker and unexplained fires by moving across country. When another fire starts at the winery she is working on, she is terrified. There is something about Finn that she feels like she can finally open up to someone without feeling like she’s crazy.
Will Finn and the team understand? Can they help her?

When they find out who/what is really after Finn things take a twist.
There is so much more to this great read. Finn and Delaney end up giving into their attraction and it’s very steamy or should I say fire starting. There is danger, suspense, mystery, and so much more. I loved Delaney’s sassiness and strength. All of the secondary characters were great and the dragons sounded really hot and were just like a huge family. I can’t wait to read more from this series and I wouldn’t mind some more from Finn and Delaney as well.

This is my first read from Abigail Owen and I was pleasantly surprised. I was pulled right in and didn’t want to stop until I was done.

The Only One (Brothers of Camelot, #1)The Only One by Necie Navone
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The Only One is a great start to a new series by Necie Navone. I cannot wait to read more about the Camelot Brothers. It is an unexpectedly sweet romance, mixed with a lot of foul language. I loved that about it though, because it made it real and set the tone for the brother’s personalities. It was a wonderful story on its own, while introducing us to other characters that I’m sure will have their own books to follow. This is the story of Drake, aka Fitz and Isabella, aka Bella. They have a wonderful history, meeting when they were just 4 and 6 years old, and becoming instant friends. While they always seemed to love each other, they were torn apart as teens, before they had the chance to discover what could have been. Drake became a womanizer, and adopted the motto “one and done” while Isabella’s track record wasn’t much more stable, never lasting more than 3 months in a relationship. Is it fate that brings them back together? Can Isabella finally change Drake’s ways, and make him committed so they can earn a happily ever after?

Romance in Rehoboth Boxed Set (Books 1-3)Romance in Rehoboth Boxed Set by K.L. Montgomery
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The Romance in Rehoboth boxed set has the first three books in the series. I love this series for so many different reasons, but I think the biggest is the way I was able to connect and understand how the women felt, especially Lindy in the third book. There is so much positive body image and girl power for a lack of a better way to describe it. I felt better about myself and a bit empowered after reading.

The first book in the series is Fat Girl. This is the story that starts it all. Claire and Jack’s story was very realistic and refreshing. Claire starting over after a divorce and learning how to navigate the dating world which is incredibly different from the last time she dated.

The second book is The Flip and this is where we get to know Sonnet and Andrew. Sonnet is very brainy beautiful woman who gets reunited with her high school nemesis Andrew. They are forced to work together without killing one another.

The third and final book in this box set is Plot Twist. We meet Lindy and Meric while they are in a local theater production. Lindy is very self conscious and tries to hide in the background. She was the one I could relate with the most and think had the strongest feelings towards her. She was amazing! Meric is a great guy and exactly what Lindy needed.

I cannot recommend this set enough. Ms. Montgomery is on to something here and I am so glad I found her early on.

The CatchThe Catch by Phoebe Alexander
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This author never ceases to amaze. This second book in the Eastern Shore Swingers series is just a sizzling as the first. This book can be read as a standalone, however, I do highly recommend you read Book One at some point, because it is fantastic in its own right.
Paisley is a strong independent woman who don’t need to man, or at least she doesn’t need a relationship. The physical aspect of the man, she can get jiggy with, the emotional side of it, she can deal without. She is a flawed character and I loved that Ms Alexander wrote a character that has curves for days. Paisley is not the typical flat tummy, long legged runner who you would normally see in the Ocean City landscape around Maryland and when she is hired as a manager at a hotel, her first priority is to hire someone to design the hotel’s website.

Enter Calvin…the not so geeky..but I am a tall drink of water..Calvin. He challenges everything she knows. He pushes her boundaries and her comfort levels. When the steam starts to rise between them, the sheets start to smoke. When a blast from Paisley’s past come barreling back and threatens her, Calvin risks his own well-being to protect her and she starts to believe that he just maybe the very thing that she has been waiting for.

This book is super hot. 18+ audience for super mature theme and some steamy between the sheets scenes. Smooth easy read with passages and paragraphs flow from one thought to the next. As a reader you do not feel rushed through the story and the story line progresses at a pace that is both relevant and applicable to the story.

The attention to details is wonderful and makes for a more rounded story. It’s paced nicely never feeling rushed or lacking anything.

The Catch (The Eastern Shore Swingers #2) by Phoebe Alexander was a fun, light heart read that had me hooked from start to finish.

Not my first read by this author or in this series. Just so you know, these book read as standalones, so no worries about reading out of order, like, I have been doing..haha.. Anyways, like the other books in this series, its full of fun, sassy witty humor, some kick in the feels drama and of course, hot sexy smut, it’s like she got her inspiration from the Fantastic selection of smut straight from m-porn.xxx.

In this book we follow Paisley, and her journey to self acceptance, learning it’s okay to love and be loved and dealing with a past she rather forget. I have to tell you that, I really like Paisley as the lead MC. She’s a mature woman that has some immature tendencies. Strong, smart and not seeing the great storm that she is, we get to witness her ups, downs, and of course, putting a, to her, a shameful past to rest. Calvin was the perfect match for her. Age is but a number, (over 18 that is), I get her worrying about the age difference, but sometimes, it isn’t the age that’s the problem, and Calvin was out to prove that to Paisley. I loved them, and they got all the good feels going, and then there was the… smut.. fan please!

Overall this book was a great read and, like the other is this series, the writing was smooth, transitions were clean and, the story flowed in a easy cohesive way. I highly recommend you get your hands on not only on this book, but this, fan-freaking-tastic series.

Happy Reading

The Jack (The Immortal Series Book 2) By MK Harkins. This story had me completely hooked from page one. I had a little trouble in book one but those troubles are way in the past. I highly recommend reading these in order to really enjoy this world the author has brought readers. This fantasy story is much more than just that, it has romance, suspense and action. While we watch Archer and Sadie’s book unfold be ready for an incredible journey and adventure. The author writes a story that completely comes to life before you eyes with great attention to details and characters that are just as flawed and relatable as anyone living on earth. There was definitely times where I had to remind myself I was reading a story and not living it. It’s an amazingly written story that can’t be truly compared to any other storyline. It’s well thought out and paced nicely. The characters drag you into their world and I had a hard time leaving when all was said and done. I’m giving this book a five star review and highly recommend this book.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is the first book I have read from this author and she blew me away. I love a good friends to lovers romance but this story exceeded all my expectations. This is the first book to a new series called The Brothers of Camelot. I could not put this book down. I fell in love with these characters right from the beginning. It only took me a day to devour this amazing story.

Drake is a one and done kind of guy. He had a very tragic life when he was a boy. Drake was having a hard time adjusting to his new life until a cute little girl came into his life. Isabella and Drake were inseparable until the sad day that one of them had to leave the other. Drake is now in his mid twenties and he can’t stop thinking about his Bella. They made a vow that they will never forget eachother. When Isabella comes back into his life he doesn’t want to let her go. The only thing is they are not little anymore. They now have pasts which could lead them into danger. Will Drake and Isabella live happily ever after or will they destroy each other with their pasts?

This books was the perfect way to start a new series. The storyline has it all romance, suspense, and mystery. You will fall in love with these characters. I absolutely love Drake. He is very controlling but the way he treats Isabella will make you swoon. He would do anything to see her smile. Isabella is a beautiful woman that has a heart of gold. She wants to find the ever lasting love but she puts some walls up. You can feel the love poor out of these pages. These characters have some steamy scenes that will make your temperature rise. This talented author will keep you at the edge of your seat until the end. I can’t wait to see who this author writes about next. This is going to be a favorite series of mine. I can feel it.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The Catch by Phoebe Alexander is book 2 in The Eastern Shore Swingers series. From what I can tell so far, the books can be read as standalones.

The Catch has a few characters in it from book 1 and was just as good as book 1 of not better. The characters that The Catch focuses on is Paisley Parker and Calvin Mitchell.

Paisley has been alone for many years. She has no family and everyone in her past knows her by a different name. Calvin is about 10 years younger then Paisley and has a loving family. When Calvin and Paisley meet it’s because she hires him to design a website for The Factory. Not only is Paisley being groomed to be the manager but, she’s 100% in the lifestyle. When Calvin makes it known that he is interested in a relationship, she says no because she is not a relationship kind of person.

When Paisley gets an email from the website demanding money and calling her by her old name, she knows her past has caught up to her. She’s afraid The Factory will be found out if she doesn’t adhere to the demands. Things get much worse as time goes on. Their website is hacked and Paisley has no choice but to have Calvin take the website down. Paisley never cared much about anyone but now when her new friends business is threatened, she needs to deter whoever is after her.

I thought this was a great addition to the series. You will never guess who is after Paisley and why? At seventeen years old she fled to NY for a better life never expecting to face her past. This is a book you won’t want to pass on.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Jane Suen’s Alterations Trilogy includes: Alterations, Game Changer and Primal Will. This is a science fiction/fantasy/psychological series. I found this trilogy unique and quite enjoyed how Jane Suen tied this series together. There is a lot for three characters, each with their own stories, to be compiled into this short stories. We get a glimpse into their stories, but there was the potential for much more to be added and/or expanded into with each of the individual women.

Alterations:
This is a story that will push your concept of what is possible and real versus what could be possible beyond our imaginations. This is about three women who are seeking change, but what they are seeking may not ultimately be what they receive. This was the first written work that I had read by Jane Suen and I was absolutely intrigued after reading the synopsis for this story.

Game Changer:
This story pushes your concept of what is possible and real versus what could be possible beyond our imaginations. These women are seeking change and building new lives.

Primal Will:
The author did an fine job in bringing a conclusion to this trilogy edging the line on what to expect and what could possible be forthcoming. Overall, I thought this was a solid story to delve into a unique story line with women from different walks of life each looking for a change that will make their lives better.

The Jack, The Immortal Series Book Two, by M.K. Harkins is a contemporary fantasy novel. I highly recommend reading the series in order so that you learn back history on several of the characters that are paramount, front and center in The Jack. The Jack is the follow-up story to The Reader. In The Jack, Asher takes the stage either to surpass all expectations or to fall into the depths everyone believes he belongs within. I thought I knew Asher’s character after reading the first book of the series, but M.K. Harkins quickly strips that away adding additional depth and dimension to his character. We continue on unimaginable journeys these characters are forced to embark upon in the chance of finding their happiness and something to strive for. The dynamic between the characters, whether friends, enemies or a mix of both, was well laid out. I felt transported into this story as the series of events occurs from scene to scene. The emotional attachment, the longing, the hope, it was all spectacularly written to the final chapters. M.K. Harkins is showcasing her writing genius in this series, it’s something to behold!!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The Only One by Necie Navone is an easy read. It was easy to get lost in the pages of the book. Once I started this story, it was an instant hit to me. I am finding that I really do love the romance stories, BUT I need to have a little more to the story like mystery or adventure. Navone does an amazing job in creating believable characters that could be the “neighbor next store”. It was like I was right there in the background of the story watching from above the scene. There was a “brotherhood” of guys who had a hard life and really bonded to one another. Once brother, Drake (aka, Fritz) was dealt a bad hand with regards to family. He one day meets the girl next door, Isabella. They were always together until a situation ripped them apart. Isabella tried to prove that she doesn’t need a man or her mother. Drake has become this male god and really thinks highly of himself. What happens when Drake meets Isabelle will the spark that they had years before come back?

Conviction (Ash Park, #2)Conviction
By: Meghan O’Flynn
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Conviction (Ash Park #2) by Meghan O’Flynn was just as, no, it was more dark and thrilling then the last book. I didn’t think it was possible, but this series is fast becoming an obsession.

The second book in the Ash Park series, we are once again tossed into the dark underbelly of Ash Park, this time following Shannon Taylor, Ash Park district attorney. We met he in the last book, and I didn’t know too much about her, only that I liked her and having this story centered around her was quite a thriller treat.

Shannon is a fierce character, she is the attorney you want on your side, and would do anything to never be on her bad side. She’s a strong character, and one that I believe was written in a real, complex way that made you connect with her. She isn’t perfect, and is trying to do her best to put the baddies away, while wondering if she made a life changing mistake years ago.

I will tell you that this book, was wow. The mystery, the clues and the plot twist. I didn’t see it coming, and I was shocked. Again Meghen played with our hearts, twisted our emotions and lead us/me astray. Nothing was wasted, even the subplots. Having such multi-layered writing, added to the complexity of this story and, it made for such a big polt bomb, that I had to put the book down just to process.

This series is just everything I didn’t know I wanted, and I can’t stop reading. As I said, I’m a little obsessed, and I think my dreams are going to be a little nightmarish for a few nights. So yes, I give this book my super high recommendation and my stamp of approval.

Happy Reading

Famished (Ash Park, #1)Famished
By: Meghan O’Flynn
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Famished (Ash Park #1) by Meghan O’Flynn was dark, gritty, and apart from having my heart in a vice, it had me hooked from start to finish.

My first read by this author I didn’t know what to expect. I just thought I was in for your normal, thriller mystery, like a CSI/Criminal Minds mix… No, no, no.. It was more on the darker side of Criminal Minds. Not only did I get attached to Hannah, I felt for her, somehow connected to her, and, I don’t even know what to say or think anymore.

Hannah was a good character, like I said I connect with her, and every minute of her hellish life I wish I could have been there to give her a hug, and just, put her in a bubble. Strong in her own right, Hannah was that MC you root for, hope for and just want all the good things for.

Damn Meghan O’Flynn, you managed to not only rip out my heart, but just when I thought things were looking up, you ripped it out again and stomped on it. Thanks….Sometimes there are no happy endings, and this book shows us, will for me I felt, it showed the real look at what goes on when trying to catch a killer. The grunt work, the long hours, and the constant feelings of guilt and grief that, you weren’t fast, or strong enough.

This book will push your emotions, will make you think it will end like your normal TV drama. Be prepared for some gut punching feels, and a good slap to the face. And that my friend is where I leave you, but yes, before I go, I give this book my super high recommendation and my stamp of approval.

I will now dive into the next book.

What is wrong with me? Good writing that’s what

Happy Reading

The Only One (Brothers of Camelot, #1)The Only One by Necie Navone
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Necie Navone is a new to me author! I am so glad I took a chance on this author! This story had me laughing out loud, turning pages as fast as I could read the words and sighing with the sweet sexiness of it all. And now I’m patiently waiting for the next in this Brothers of Camelot series.

The story line is good. The writing is good. The characters are awesome! The main characters are Drake and Isabella. They were friends, actually, the best of friends until they were teenagers. Then time got away from them and life happened. It didn’t help that there were meddling families involved as well. They lost track of each other, each longing for the other to find them. When they get back together though, wow! And then, then this story takes a little twist that I didn’t think was going to happen. I mean the story line had the potential to go this dark way, but it wasn’t written like it was going to. So, I was taken by surprise!

Luckily both Bella and Drake have a great support system, the other Brothers of Camelot! Who doesn’t “need a little help from their friends?”

I can not wait to read the rest of this series!

The Catch (Eastern Shore Swingers Series Book 2) by Phoebe Alexander – Review by Ashleigh Harrington

The CatchThe Catch by Phoebe Alexander
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

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

The Boss (Fire’s Edge, #1) by Abigail Owen – Review by Nicole Noble

The Boss (Fire's Edge, #1)The Boss by Abigail Owen
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The Boss
By Abigail Owen
4 Stars

I know I’ve mentioned before that I love paranormal romances. Something about them just always sucks me in. But I have to say books about dragon shifters are high on my love to read list. The Boss by Abigail Owen totally fits that bill!

Finn Conleth is an enforcer dragon shifter. He has an iron set of rules that he lives by. He thought he had found his destined mate and when tragedy struck, Finn decided that his life as an enforcer would be enough and his team would be his family. He would never risk his heart again after it breaking before.

Delaney Hamilton’s life has been plagued. Where ever she lands destruction seems to follow and this latest tragedy is the last straw. Turning to a group of mysterious men who show up to help her she never expects to find someone who understands her pain. But Finn has vowed to never risk his heart again. Will he be able to keep that vow when someone else sets their sights on Delaney? Will Delaney be able to not only break through Finn’s shell but survive the process that will make her his mate?

Abigail Owen spins an enjoyable tale with the first book in this series. Finn and Delaney are both well-developed characters and the potential of the sub characters was great. Though the book was a bit choppy with some details, there was enough information for the reader to follow on. Hopefully, as the series progresses Ms. Owen will do a bit more world building. I enjoyed this book and felt that it kept a good pace and was easy to read. I am looking forward to more from Ms. Owen with this series. Can’t wait to see what comes next!

ALTERATIONS TRILOGY: Alterations, Game Changer, Primal Will by Jane Suen

5 Stars

I have now read every one of this authors books and I will also read every book she comes out with. She is one of those authors that you never know what might be instore for you when you open one of her books, she is never predictable and I sit afterwards always pondering what I just read. She has a talent that has her in a class of her own and I just can’t say enough about how much I love her. This trilogy is simply awesome..totally different than anything I have every read and each one of them had me totally breaking from real life and I was totally invested in these characters…

Alterations – This is about three women, each with a different issue in life. This is also about one man, “Dr.” Kite, who set out on a mission to help these three women with their life issues by offering them an answer using an implant that can control their minds. Although short, the author fit in enough backstory for each character that I was able to understand and fall in love with each one. It brought up questions in my own mind, if I could pick the one issue in life I struggle with would I take the same risks these three women took? Especially knowing that when something seems too good to be true, it could be just that..too good to be true….

Game Changer – This story carried on from the first, the 3 ladies that Dr. Kite “helped” have now started moving on with their lives, and each one dealing with their own good and bad. Dr. Kite is again up to something, and I loved reading his parts of this story.. I don’t know why he fascinates me so much but he does…Would I trust him if he showed up at my door? Ehhh, maybe to an extent.

Primal Will – This last installment had me reading so fast I caught myself tripping over the words and making myself slow down so that I could savor every second of it. What an amazing storyline from start to finish, so creative and addictive and I can not wait to go back and read the whole series all over again. Not going to go into anymore detail because it will take away from all 3 books..

Ok Miss Jane Suen, I’ve read all of your books, and I want more…You are an amazing story teller and I can not wait to see where you take us next!! But rest assured I’ll be one of the first in line to find out!

Brilliant!!

The Only One (The Brothers of Camelot Book 1) by Necie Navone

5 Stars

Oh my goodness, I loved this book and I loved the characters, and I love the whole storyline and I am so happy that there are many to follow this, telling me all of our brothers hopefully will be getting their own book.

My heart broke for Drake, his story was not something you would ever expect but if there was a silver lining it was Mom, and oh how I loved Mom, and then of course there was the brothers..I enjoyed every second of this book and when Bella literally popped back into their lives she was a sassy breath of fresh air, I loved her rants and how she pretty much had everyone scared of her..I laughed out loud more than once with all of the interaction between all of the characters.

Not sure how this author has gotten by me up until now, but I promise I will be reading all of this series and then anything else she comes out with. I’m already totally intrigued with what is to come for Grayson and Aless and why all the mystery. I think the story Im looking forward to the most is Hawkins, I already love him and just know there’s going to be tears when I get to him and that’s ok.

I read this in 2 sittings, although I wanted to read it straight through but this thing called life got in the way…I highly recommend this book, the author was able to add in just enough mystery, laugh out loud moments, a few tears, danger, and a glimpse into the lives of all of the players in this, The Brothers of Camelot series and I can not wait for more!!

The Catch (Eastern Shore Swingers #2) by Phoebe Alexander
4 Stars

Yet another journey into the lives of the swingers! I have to say that I wasn’t disappointed. I quite admire the way that the author deals with her subject matter. The characters are very relateable. I find her writing style to be very refreshing.

The chemistry between Paisley and Calvin is very unique. I could feel the turmoil Paisley felt as she battled her doubts if she was good enough for him or not. I quite like how I could relate to some of the emotions and feelings that she had even though my experiences have been different. The author has really brought an alternative lifestyle to life in her books and in a manner that even though it isn’t your lifestyle choice you can still enjoy reading about the characters that portray it. I will definitely read more by this author in the future.
