My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The Only One (The Brothers of Camelot Book 1) by Necie Navone. I loved this book. Its the story of Drake aka Fitz who has a horrible start at life but is accepted into a family that Doctor aka Mom loves him unconditionally, his father not so much. Fitz is the product of a love affair and his mom was not the most pristine. She eventually dies and Fitz is thrown into this new family.

Bella is from a wealthy family who goes out on her own and builds a business for herself all on her own, a daycare! She moves back to her hometown and meets Fitz again. Will they continue their love story or will Bella’s ex mess things up for them. This is the sweetest story and I read it in one sitting! Can’t wait to read the rest of the series!

The Jack (The Immortal Series Book Two)The Jack
By: M.K. Harkins
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The Jack (The Immortal Series Book Two) by M.K. Harkins was a entertaining engaging read that had me hooked.

Not my first read by this author or in this series, and though this book takes place two years after The Reader ends, this is still a continuation series so I suggest reading the first book before this one, as it will give you much needed info on the character’s backstory and, the even that takes place before The Jack.

I have to say, that this book was a tad bit better than the first, there were still some scenes that felt rushed, like the first book, but the overall plot was a bit more polished and being told in duel POV really added something special to this read. Again this book has the same picturesque writing as the first and expands on that original story and tale that M.K. Harkins created.

I like Archer in the first book, he really got the short end of the stick. But I’m glad this story follows him and his journey to redemption and finally getting those shadows lifted. Sadie was a okay character, for someone that’s live for two millina, she sure was nice. I don’t know, if that was me, I don’t think I would be that kind, or sane.

Overall this book was the perfect addition to this unique tale. I was drawn in from the start, and though there some pacing issues, the plot was gitty, the characters well-rounded and connecting. I give this book my super high recommendation and my stamp of approval.

Happy Reading

Running from DemonsRunning from Demons by M.K. Theodoratus
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Running from Demons by M.K. Theodoratus is a young adult paranormal fantasy book.  There is magic and demons and creatures. M.K. paints a picture with her description of  the characters and places within their world and the attention to detail makes it easy to  read. I found it hard to get into it was a but slow for me to start and took me a while to  settle in to it. There is plenty of action, a little romance and coming of age. There is  danger and a sense of longing, of wanting to belong but always being different even in  a world that is of difference.

Must Remember: dead or alive they want her back: the Solum series by Colleen Myers is  a young adult fantasy romance with a twist of aliens. It is an interesting story that is  engaging and quick read. There are a lot of unique elements that help you to imagine  the characters and the worlds and creatures that Colleen has created. Throw in some  action and mayhem, magic and aliens, fear and longing and a love triangle. Waking up  on a mysterious world with no memory of how you got there or where you have been, is  where our protagonist finds herself. There is much more to this story to come.

Must Remember (Solum, #1)Must Remember by Colleen S. Myers
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Must remember is Book one in the Solum series from author Colleen S. Myers.
This book has literally held me captivated since the first page and held me there until the very end. I was not expecting to be drawn into the action, suspense and mystery quite so early on in this read but it made everything more heightened while reading it.

Elizabeth ‘Beta’ is introduced straight away and we are thrown into her world – one that not only becomes a mystery to her, but to us as well. We follow her on the journey of ups & downs. The mystery surrounding her own existence on this unknown planet. She becomes a mystery to everyone – and they try anything to figure out why and how she got there and of course the biggest suspense of them all why she was wearing enemies clothing.

This author has created an incredibly vivid, mentally visual read. I couldn’t help but picture the whole planet in my mind while reading it, the look and descriptions of each individual character that Beta comes into contact with. All of it makes for an incredible sci-fi, alien romance novel filled with action, adventure, mystery, suspense, romance and most important an incredible plot.

Each character that Beta interacts with, comes across to you as the reader in different ways. Each of them making their own impressions on Beta and the way acts around them, but you can’t help but love Finn & Marin and of course Ute, but each of these characters has their own story to be told and I loved reading their interactions, feelings and ideas of why Beta is there. Along with the brilliant connections, we cannot forget the magic that is weaved through the story and the history of it.
I loved that we were learning all things along with Beta, it made everything seem more real, and as though we were there living out the story ourselves.

Overall this was an incredible read that I loved that I got the chance to read, and cannot wait to delve into this world again in Book 2 – to see what continues with Beta’s story.

Running From Demons by M.K. Theodoratus
4 Stars!!!!

I have to admit that I like to find new series and new authors. This book definitely was a good find.
The author has a rather unique writing style along with a very original take on demons and witches. I found myself getting lost in this world the author created and didn’t want to put the book down.

The whole story unfolds bit by bit in this book which is quite great and grabs the reader in. Pillar’s
character grabs you by the heart strings from the get go and I really routed for her. As the story
unfolds you do get a sense that there are not just two factions pitted against one another but
that one of them is divided so in fact really there are three. I like the fact that there is really
a shadow over the divided group as even though two groups are pitted against the third you know that you really cannot trust the second group.

I found the chemistry between Pillar and Nate to be enticing. I found myself getting drawn into the book the more they began to interact. I really look forward to reading more from this author. I know that this is the second book so I have once again began a series out of order. I en devour to read the first and the last.

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

Embrace the Passion (Pets in Space 3) by Various Authors
5 Stars!!!!!

I ask you what more could one ask for but cute pets and space? This is the third collective and I
have to say I wasn’t disappointed. I like how a collective of authors can all bring such life
to space and add a touch or romance with the pets as an added bonus.

This collection is very vast and I really enjoyed them all but my absolute favorite was The Bajo Cats
of AnterosXII by E.D. Walker. I am a crazy cat lady at heart and the whole story was quite interesting
to me. I like how the author had the alien cats have a defense mechanism that when young they cant
control. I like how Zandro and Aliette work things out and how there is just enough drama in this
short story to really get the reader engrossed in it and not able to put the book down till then end.
The author has a real interesting take on how different pets in space can be and also tackles real
life issues with the conservation efforts of Zandro. I really would like to read more from this author
in future.

I have a close second to my favorite and that is Quashi: (A Mandrake Company Story) by Ruby
Lionsdrake. This story reminded me so much of the Star Trek episode The Trouble with Tribbles.
I like how the author’s unique writing style brings this different creature to life.

The whole sort of chemistry between Chanda and Kor is quite refreshing. This short story has a lot
of drama that works around the blossoming romance of the two. The mystery that evolves during the
story helps to bring them together and also helps Chanda really achieve her original purpose. This
author does a great job in such a short expanse and grips the reader from page one. I would like to
read more from his author in the future.

I finally have one more favorite and that is Starway by Alexis Glynn Latner. This was full of adventure
this one. I have to admit that I was quite impressed the amount the author was able to get in such a short
story. I really do like these anthologies of short stories as they highlight such talent.

I really found myself routing for Nikka through this book but I have to admit at first I didn’t expect
her and Danyel to end up. I find that the author has a very refreshing writing style that grabs you
and brings you into the book and gets straight to the point. There was quite a bit of drama that
played out in this short story and I look forward to reading more from this author.

When I read an anthology I am always drawn to at least one story. The rest are the added bonus and I find
that this collection is full of the stories that I like to read and I know I will find myself reading
this collection over and over.

Must Remember (Solum #1)
By Colleen S. Myers
Rated 4 stars

This is an interesting story. The plot was good and I struggled to put it down and read it fairly quickly. The characters caused me to worry and wonder about them. Who is telling the truth? What will happen if they get caught? This story starts by introducing Elizabeth or Beta. She wakes up on the ground and she doesn’t remember where or why or how she got there. The Fost are instantly suspicious because she is dressed like their enemy. While they try to get answers from her, Beta comes into contact with an assortment of characters. Some are very hard to figure out. Others show their true colors very quickly. The magic that is displayed throughout the story was very cool. I don’t want to say much but….lucky her!

The author did an amazing job describing the background and letting the characters fill us in on their background. Neither were boring or dull but kept me interested in this different world. What happened to Beta slowly comes out through the story. So that is a huge draw to keep me going in the mystery/alien romance. So this is my first book with aliens in it. I think because they were somewhat like humans it seemed a smooth transition.

I have read other books by this author. She seems to deliver a smooth storyline with interesting characters. This one is no exception.

The Catch (Eastern Shore Swingers Book 2) by Phoebe Alexander

5+++ Stars

First, What can I say about this author that I haven’t already said or that hasn’t already been said about her to stress just how much I appreciate her and absolutely love reading her words? She is amazing, awesome, brilliant, and every other positive descriptive word there is and one of the reasons for this is…this series deals with a lifestyle and lifestyles that I truly have no interest in knowing more about, I have no problem with any of them it’s just not for me and some of the subjects that Phoebe writes about normally do not keep my interest and I find my mind wandering instead of focussing on the reading..So with that said, in answer to what can I say about this author it is simple…She’s a flipping genius because I open these book full of these stories and i’m lost in her world till the very last word is read. How she does this I have no clue but my appreciation for her goes way way beyond words..

So now on to this story…I loved and completely understood and could relate with Paisley in this book to a point. I wish in my past I could have had half her strength and just a touch of her self esteem…She is awesome and has become one of my favorite leading ladies. Then there’s Calvin, sigh…… Again…another reason I loved this and most of this authors books is because you could actually see yourself being friends with the characters she writes because they are so so real, with real emotions and real struggles and I love this.

I loved the mystery and suspense in this story and some scenes were off the charts holy moly give me a bucket of ice water stat moments and I loved seeing Leah and Cap and check in on their continuing story…

I have so completely read these books out of order and that’s something I just have to work on but it in no way got in the way of each individual book…I love them all but I think down deep this one might just be my favorite of this series so far.

Thank you once again Miss Alexander 🙂

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

The Catch by Phoebe Alexander is the 2nd book in The Eastern Shore Swingers Series. It follows on from Fisher of Men but can be read as a stand-alone. Fisher of Men totally blew me away as it was nothing like anything I’d ever read before and The Catch is no different. Set around a swinger club you would expect a lot of sex in the book, but the sex scenes are totally of the charts HOT. My eyes have been totally opened by this series of books. There is so much more to the swinger lifestyle than I even knew possible.
This story centres around Assistant Manager of the club (The Factory) Paisley Parker and Calvin Mitchell who she hires to design a website for the club. Paisley is a larger than life character in many ways. She is a larger lady who is so comfortable in her own body. I have to say that I admire Paisley so much for her attitude towards her larger body. She’s very much ‘if you’ve got it, flaunt it’. Paisley has a troubled past and has moved away from home and changed her name to start her life afresh.
Calvin is very much the opposite to Paisley. Son of an African American father and white mother, Calvin had a fantastic childhood, brought up in a loving family. Calvin is very much a gentleman with impeccable manners and has no interest in being involved in the lifestyle.
When someone from Paisley’s past contacts her to blackmail her through the website that Calvin created, the 2 are forced together. Both are attracted to each other but whereas Calvin is looking for a monogamous relationship, Paisley doesn’t do relationships and is actively involved in the lifestyle and enjoys having several sexual partners with no strings attached.
This is an amazing story filled with drama and intrigue as they try to get to the bottom of who is blackmailing Paisley and threatening the club. The growing relationship between Paisley and Calvin is filled with so much angst. Although they are so different you can’t help but pray that they can resolve their differences and have a happily ever after.
I loved this book as much as the first book in the series and I’m now looking forward to diving into book 3, Siren Call.

Touchdown: A Steamy Football Romance: The Big Apple Series Book One by Alexa Summers. This was what I would consider, the perfect sports/romance book. Hot and steamy all wrapped into a great read.

Which meant seeing them in all of their glory, hot, sweaty, fresh off the field and close to naked. When during one of her interviews, she and the entire country, see Brett Brocks impressive package. When he demands an apology, Lexi knows that is not going to happen because she doesn’t think she did anything wrong.

The story The Jack (The Immortal Series Book 2) by M.K. Harkins is a fantasy book that I loved reading. It is a book that hooked me in from the very beginning and I found myself not wanting to put it down until I had finished the last page. It is a story that has action, mystery, and danger. I loved reading about the characters of Archer and Sadie. Sadie is a girl who is conflicted about the way that she feels about Archer. She has a choice that she must make regarding him and it is one that has huge consequences. You could say it could be life or death. Sadie is kindhearted and a lovable character. Archer is a half-breed and also an outcast. The Readers don’t trust him however it seems that they have a situation that requires them to join forces. Archer is attracted to Sadie. When they touch it is electric and there are sparks between them. These two can’t stop thinking about each other. Where will their feelings lead them? There are evil forces making and executing plans. Will Archer, Sadie, and the Readers be able to stop the evil at work? Read this book to find out. This story had me on the edge of my seat wondering what was going to happen next. It is addictive and a page-turner. The story also includes some romance. I enjoyed reading about the other characters that interact with Archer, Sadie, and each other. This is a wonderfully written book that I would highly recommend reading. It is the second book in a series and that I believe should be read in order.

The story Credence Woods by Alexandria Sure is a romantic comedy book. It is a story that I loved reading. It hooked me in from the very beginning and I didn’t want to put it down until I had read the final page. I loved reading about the character of Kennedy Hewson. Kennedy is a woman who has undergone a transformation with her weight and is also a workaholic. Her life is one of control and she has an amazing assistant who helps her. What happens when Kennedy meets someone and finds out that not all things in life have a control button, like the way that she feels when she meets someone unexpectedly? I found myself identifying with Kennedy about the way she feels about herself after she has lost weight. Is it possible that she may have substituted one set of insecurities for another? Kennedy’s story is also one that is at times humorous and I had a smile on my face. She and the unexpected one that she meets banter back and forth and I loved reading about their interactions with each other and those that they call friends. Read this book to find what happens between Kennedy and the one she unexpectedly meets and feels at home with. This is a wonderfully written story that I highly recommend reading. It is a story about confidence, insecurities, closure, and friendships that you will love reading.

The story BECKONED, Part 5: Adrift in Costa Rica by Aviva Vaughn is a contemporary romance book. It is a story that I loved reading.

He finds himself in a fishing village in Costa Rica. All the money in the world can’t help him out of his heartache. Then he meets Elena. Elena used to be a professional surfer. She is living in Costa Rica which has always been her home. She is a woman that is beautiful, strong, and independent. She is also a woman who guards her heart. While she finds Soren very attractive she knows that she should keep to her rule of not getting involved with the tourists. You never know when they will up and leave. Soren finds himself letting Elena in bit by bit and is finding himself to be a very different man than the one that first came to the island. Will Elena let Soren into her heart? Will the past have a way of coming between Elena and Soren? Read this story to find out. Soren and Elena’s story is one that includes passion and desire. There are sparks between them and the tension in the room is high when they are together. There are some steamy scenes included in this book. Events with good food, drinks, companionship, and comradery this story has it all. I love how no matter what the scene is the author is so descriptive that you feel like you are right there with the characters. This is a wonderfully written story that I would highly recommend reading. It is part of a series that I also would highly recommend.

Must Remember: Solum Series book one written by Colleen S. Myers was a pleasantly addicting read. This isn’t my usual genre though I will read a book or two occasionally. I’m glad I picked this one and I look forward to the next book in the Solum Series: Can’t Forget. The main character is quick witted and even when she’s stressed out and freaked out she responds with sarcasm and quick humor…even if they don’t quite understand what she’s saying by using human slang and features she knows and that’s what matters. As the story progresses you watch her grow as a character and get more bold with the other characters. Beta is adapting to her surroundings and situation as much as she can with Finn and Marin there to help along with the guidance of Ute and his books what could go wrong….

The Sound of Love (The Sound series #1)The Sound of Love by Maria Watts
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I absolutely adored this book! The Sound of Love by Maria Watts takes you on a journey back to being a teenager at the height of boy bands. It was so reminiscent of when I was that age and going to boy band concerts. However, this story is one that any girl would have loved to have experienced. Nina, a 16 year old girl from Southampton, England is absolutely infatuated with “The Funky Guys.” Nina is utterly in love with Chris, one of the guys in the band. Somehow Nina was able to get ahold of Chris via the phone and they end up talking every day for hours leading up to Nina’s first pop concert ever! Once she and Chris meet it was magical. That is until Nina gets a taste of what it is like for Chris and the world he lives in. Somehow she gets sucked into going on tour with the guys. So for three weeks she sees what it’s really like living as a pop star and how relationships actually work. This is such a great coming of age book. The story seemed so real, like if were actually a factual story. There is a bit of the spicy sexy stuff but again, this is a coming of age book. However, the author did a really good job with all the writing and the descriptions of things. I truly loved all the characters and they worked so well together. I do wish there was an epilogue unless the author is going to make this book into a series, which I really hope that she does!

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

I am generally a fan of anthologies as the provide a wonderful varsities of writing styles and characters. This collection has a wonderful collection of authors to be enjoyed by the reader. I was unsure how a sci-fi anthology would resonate. But I was pleasantly surprised. The stories flowed well. I was entertained and found the works to fit nicely together. Recommended. Very enjoyable.

Painting Kuwait Violet by Pamela Q. Fernandes – Review by Angela Hayes

Painting Kuwait VioletPainting Kuwait Violet by Pamela Q. Fernandes
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

 

Painting Kuwait Violet is an intriguing women’s fiction story by Pamela Q. Fernandes. This is my first read by Ms. Fernandes so I was curious to see where the story would lead.
Violet Baretto is a young, ambitious, intelligent and well-educated woman who takes a position as a maid in Kuwait, working for a wealthy woman, Sabah Dashti, to help her family pay their debts. But things are not quite that simple, and what ensues was an eye-opening look into the Patriarchal society, and a glimpse at the cultural and class divides, the social issues, racism, and more. This is a story that has some mystery, suspense, danger, and drama- as we discover when a woman-hating killer is thrown into the mix.
This book felt like two stories rolled into one- the story of Violet and Sabah’s developing friendship and their quest for success, and the mystery that unravels disappearances, abuse, cover-ups, murder, and injustice.
Although this book has an interesting premise and is well written, I would have loved more depth to the storyline. Over-all, it’s a good read.

Thank you, Ms. Fernandes!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Aviva Vaughn has done it again. I enjoyed the rest of the series so much I was unsure how this installment would even be able to keep up. But I’m so happy to report that it did. It’s is quick and well-developed, witty and captivating. I had difficulty walking away from it until I had finished the last page. A page turner, an emotionally charged romance, a wonderful addition to my book shelf. Simply loved it.

Running from Demons by M. K. Theodoratus

Four Stars

Not knowing what you are and having no place to belong to is so scary. I felt bad for Pillar through this whole book. It sucks that people are judged by their appearance. This story was very interesting and different. I would’ve liked to know more about what Pillar is and the way that the magic works. The story was long and it was a good read. I am looking forward to reading the next book by this author. I liked that Pillar had some kind of guiding voice inside her. The author does a really good job of creating the twist and turns that the story takes. This story also dives into how inconsiderate and mean people can be. Pillar seemed to be a soft, quiet and fragile young girl. You kind of see her come into her own. But I definitely see room for growth. At some moments she reminded me of myself. When I need to be I can be present and dominate but all other times I keep to myself and just keep it moving. The demon aspect of the story was crazy. I couldn’t figure out if the demon Lord was a man or a woman because they kept saying my Lord lol. Overall I really liked how different this story was. It gave me a few laughs and I also got to dive into a new world.

Marks of the Mazza:Reversed Harem (Mazza Series Book 1) by Blake Blessing

This story wasn’t what I expected. This is both a good and bad thing. I thought the story was going to have more meaning and be about a girl coming into who she was meant to be. Instead you get a girl trying to navigate 4 relationships and possibly help stop a crazy villain. The story was bad it just lacked a goal. I didn’t really get the point of it. On another note I liked the start of Sage’s and Isolde. He was so standoffish and weary. She disliked him but was draw to him. He came from a troubled past and she did as well. I felt that once they get past that awkward moment they would be perfect. I don’t understand why people need multiple partners. On a good day I can hardly handle one. But to each their own. This is my first book by this author. Though I wasn’t overly impressed I will be reading the next story because you never know how it will change. Plus I need to know what happens with Sage. I also liked Rand because he kept it real with her from day one.
