Wild Poppy is book four in the Wildflower series by Vivian Winslow and is a story not to be missed. This is one story that the whole series practically started with. In earlier books she is the matriarch of her world but in this story we follow her and the sad life she started with. Poppy is alone and heartbroken and left with no choice other than one and it is that one she will regret her whole life. Vivian has done a wonderful job on Poppy’s story and it is very moving. It was empowering to see her come from someone so broken to coming alive once again.
As with the other books in the series Vivian has done a great job and Wild Poppy should not be missed.
Forbidden Rose by Vivian Winslow is the second book in the Wildflower series and is well written and the storyline is one you readily immerse yourself in. It is a romance story where there is passion abound and of the charts chemistry between characters. I enjoy a story where there is drama and angst on the road to romance it spices things up. Vivian takes on a journey where there are secrets and love, beauty and sweet sweet raunchiness that will leave you breathless.
Vivian has written story that will have you begging for more. I am off to start the next in the series.
Blossoming Flower is the first book in the Wildflower series by Vivian Winslow and an enjoyable romance story and a good start to the series. But nothing is ever easy in the path to romance and the burning desire and wanting between our characters was a slow slow burn. The sexual tension is almost palpable but they both had things in their paths that they needed to face and deal with before coming together. The story is well written and Vivian sets the scene with her rich and vivid attention to detail and there were times I wanted to smack some sense into some of the characters.
I am off to read the next in the series and hope it is just as good as the first.
Bob by Tegon Maus is my first book by this author. This book is a quick read and has an open ending.

The Hallowed is the second book in The Scrying Trilogy by Jaci Miller. As this continues the story from book one, I really recommend reading The Scrying before starting this one, so you have all the information you need to enjoy this book to the fullest. This is a paranormal story with supernatural elements, action, mystery, drama, magic, prophecy, destiny, ancient evil, bonds, and romance. The story picks up pretty much where book one left off. Dane and Rafe have undergone a binding that has given them a much deeper connection. Their destiny is now tied together. I loved them in the first book, but because of everything that happened in the first book and the development and growth these two have been through, I am absolutely invested in them now, and the outcome of their story. The secondary characters certainly added a little extra something to the story and I enjoyed the ones we met in the first book, as well as getting to meet new ones. The story has intrigue, suspense, spice, dramatic events, surprising developments, humour, witty dialogue… and so much more… to make this a truly captivating read. This is definitely my favourite of the two so far. As I discovered with the first book, Ms. Miller writes a riveting story, but it’s her world building which really made the most impression on me- it’s really incredible. She easily transported me into the story, where I experienced everything so vividly, following right alongside the characters as the story played out. Her words, and attention to detail brought everything to life, making the ‘world’ and everything that happened, seem so realistic and believable. Brilliant! I really can’t wait to dive into book three!

The Harrowed Half-Breed by P.A. Wikoff is a unique dark fantasy story set in a dismal world. There are strange creatures who are at war with humans and are quite a violent race even amongst themselves. It was quite gruesome at times but P.A. has done a great job of building and weaving the written word to fully explore all sides of the characters and the world in which they live. But it was not all doom and gloom, there are moments in time where there was things that will make you laugh.
As a fantasy lover I would recommend this book to anyone who likes things a little bit darker
Without Regret (Without Series Book 2) by Aubrey Bondurant is another fantastic read. Aubrey knows how to write a great contemporary romance. The storyline is captivating, steamy and interesting and the connection between the characters makes them come to life. They are fun, lovable and real and you get invested with them and their world. Beware there will be tears and your emotions will be all over the place as you learn about Emma and her life. But there is just as many laughs to be had and moments when you want to smack some characters in the head or worse. Don’t mess with my girl Emma!!
I highly recommend reading the Without series and I really really hope there is more to come.

I was not sure what to expect when I started this book and I didnt really care because hey, its Phoebe Alexander so if her name is on it..I read it 🙂
I will say that I was blown away..a storyline like I’ve never read, it wasn’t all wine roses and cupcakes and the characters weren’t rich and perfect. I fell in right at the beginning and was hooked, so much so that real life and adulting didn’t enter my mind while reading. I’ll be honest I don’t normally read anything m/m, f/f, or much m/m/f but the way this author handled it all in this story just felt natural, like nothing was at all different, feelings are feelings and I walked away from this book in awe!
There was a lot going on, and my feelings towards Nav completely confused me at first…I kept asking myself, Is this a good guy or am I going to totally hate the main character of this book…Well as it turned out I absolutely loved him, he is probably the most broken main character I’ve ever read about and my heart hurt for him, and some of the decisions he made were not the best and I had a few SMH moments with him. Then there was Anjuli, again when I first met her I was thinking hmmm..am I going to like her, well yes I also fell in love with her and although not quite as broken as Nav she still had issues she dealt with as well.
As I said, there is alot going on in this story, but I got so invested in it so early on that I never lost track, I couldn’t put it down and the addition of some of the players that came into the story just added that much more for me. I’m not going to go into anything about this storyline..it needs to be gone into blindly like I did it…
This author is an auto one click for me, she is beyond amazing and this might just be my favorite by her so far, I highly recommend for anyone over 18 and also highly recommend you have a fan blowing on you at all times because there are some scenes where you will need that blowing on extra high!! 🙂

Georgia On My Mind is the second book in the Southern Promises series and it was so good. Gia and Hart are two broken people who find each other just at the right time and boy do the sparks fly. Hart and Gia might be a little sexier then Clay and Katie. Again I loved everything about this book, KG’s writing is so enjoyable that you don’t want to see her books ended.
If you love a good southern boy who just wants to take care of his woman, then you need to read this book. Heck, read this series because the blurb for the next book sounds so good – Single Mom of 4 girls and the Gardener, SOLD!!!

The Harrowed Half Breed is A Tarnished Lands Story and the first book in the Forgotten Woods Series By P.A Wikoff. This is my first read by Mr. Wikoff, so I wasn’t sure what I would find when I began reading. The story is an interesting and original fantasy that has lots of action, adventure, drama, unique creatures/beings, magic, and some violence. The story has a dark tone to it and feels a lot like a D & D story/game. But mostly it is a story of self-discovery and a ‘coming of age’. In the story we meet many characters, all of which play a part in making this story interesting- Barne, Valara, Kip, Nanis, Hogar, Neff, Seyu, and many others, help to bring the story alive. We explore the Tarnished Lands and meet the feathered folk- and discover a lot about their history and struggles.
“The feathered-folk had resided in the wildwoods for greater than a thousand years. They lived off nature’s gifts while never upsetting the symbiosis. It was a sacred way of life passed down from each generation. Soon the humans found value in the forest’s wood and sought to cut down the very lands that provided for the folk. Human greed was a flaw that flowed deeply within their blood; they couldn’t help it any more than they could help breathing or blinking. While the humans pilfered more than necessary, the trees bled dark sap, showing their displeasure. As the self-appointed wardens of the forest, the feathered-folk raged war against the humans. Peace was in their nature, though you wouldn’t know it as of late. There hadn’t always been conflict between the two bloodlines, although as of the last couple years, it was a daily struggle. With each fallen warrior, contention spoiled their kind nature and poisoned their disposition.”
This is a very short and easy read, I read it in one sitting. Mr. Wikoff has a descriptive and detailed style, which gave the story a rich texture and feel. If you love swords and sorcery, D & D, original and interesting fantasy, and quirky/unique characters- then this book should be part of your collection. There is a link at the end of the book to a D & D Module called “Breaking the Peace”- which is set before The Harrowed Half Breed. Looking forward to “The Progeny Assassin!”, Book #2 in the series.

Not Fade Away is the fourth book in the Interstellar Rescue Series by Donna S. Frelick. Ms. Frelick is a new-to-me author and I found this book was a great introduction to her style and has given me some new books to add to my TBR. Even though this is the fourth book in the series, it can be read as a standalone without feeling like you are missing part of the story. There are other recurring characters in this story who really intrigued me, and I definitely want to go back and read the other three books and catch up on their stories, too. This is a bit of a racy space adventure- so it’s a science fiction full of aliens, assassins, danger, action, adventure, mystery, secrets, intrigue, and a hot romance. Rafe Gordon is a Rescue Agent and soldier who has been fighting Alien Slavers since he was old enough to carry a weapon. His father is a bit of a legend among the Interstellar Rescue, but is now a shell of the man he once was, now confined to a wheelchair, while dementia ravages his mind. Rafe is honouring his father’s wishes by bringing him ‘home’ to earth- a place he hasn’t seen in 60 years. But soon find they have been targeted by an assassin, who is hunting them through the galaxy. Charlie McIntyre is a Home Health Therapist and registered Nurse who works with dementia patients and their families. Her world is turned upside down when a new client moves to town. There is something different about the old man and his sexy son- and she has a strange feeling about them and the case. She’s not interested in any kind of romantic relationship because she had a bad past experience that still haunts her, plus she doesn’t get involved with clients. But the chemistry that bubbles between Rafe and her, is becoming harder to resist. What happens when they give in to their desire? When secrets are exposed, and danger comes calling, will their blossoming romance be strong enough to survive? Can Rafe keep them all safe? This was a great story, even though I initially had trouble ‘getting into’ it. I can’t quite put my finger on it, but something about the flow of the story was a little off for me and I struggled with it for about a quarter of the book. Then things change, the flow got much better- and I was hooked. The story weaves from past to present and back again many times through out the story- unravelling a lot of the backstory and ‘motive’ for the situation they find themselves in. Ms. Frelick cleverly wove the past and present together into a smooth and intriguing read. The book has a lot of characters to keep track of, and the story is told from multiple POV’s- giving it a lot of added information and interest. Ms. Frelick orchestrates all the characters and perspectives very well and blends them into the story without any kind of confusion. There is definitely more to this story than first meets the eye, and I will certainly be reading more of Ms. Frelicks work, for sure.

Not Fade Away: Interstellar Rescue Series Book 4 by Donna S. Frelick is a science fiction romance story. I am not much of a sci fi reader but I enjoyed this one. There is action and danger, romance and other worlds and beings. This is the fourth book in a series and it was easy to follow and the story is well written. I found it enjoyable as we got to know and love the wonderful and engaging characters. The unique plots and humour kept me turning the pages and hanging on to every word. I now have to go back and read the other books in this series.

Georgia Clay is the first book in the Southern Promises series by KG Fletcher and what a story. I am glad I got to read this sweet and spicy contemporary romance that is swoon worthy. The story is told in dual points of view, which I love. Georgia Clay is a feel good story and it is beautifully written. These wonderful characters found their way into my heart and I will be looking up other books by KG. The story is an easy read and it flowed well and an excellent start to the series. Hands down Clay is my new book boyfriend!! I really enjoyed this story and I can’t wait to read the next book in the series!
Dragon Ascendants (Luminess Legends Book 1) by Paul E. Vaughn is a paranormal fantasy. It is full of mystery and danger, dragons and dwarfs, magic and more. Paul has created a world where you can immerse yourself and it feels like you are taking the adventure right along with the characters. His word building transported me to a place where anything is possible and the magic is a rich as the characters. There are surprising developments and unpredictable twists and turns that keep you drawn in ad the drama unfolds. This is the first book I have read by Paul and it is one that I enjoyed reading and that says a lot as I am fussy with my fantasy reads.

Georgia on my Mind (Southern Promises #2) by KG Fletcher is the second book in the Southern Promises series and is one intensely passionate read. KG writes her characters with so much feeling that it makes them feel so real. I enjoyed reading this story as the plot unveiled itself with a few twists and turns along the way. My emotions were all over the place as the layers were peeled back to expose these raw and wonderful characters and to read about Gia’s early life was heartbreaking. KG keeps you captivated till the very end whilst making you feel a part of their lives.
Grab your copy now you will not be disappointed. I look forward to reading more from KG.

Georgia Clay is my first book by KG Fletcher and I am hooked. Katie and Clay’s story was sexy funny and swoon-worthy. I loved the fact that this book was half set in Nashville because I love Nashville and felt like I was there with how KG described of the city.
How many of us all wish we could go to our high school reunion and just hit it off with our crush 10 years later? Well, that is how Katie and Clay’s romance started. Katie and Clay both had very demanding jobs but found a way to make long-distance relationship work, didn’t hurt that they were only a 4-hour car ride away.
I loved everything about this book, from Clay’s southern charm to the other characters in the book. Oh, my Goodness, the song Clay wrote for Katie was amazing.
If you’re looking for a book to get lost in while sitting on a back porch drinking Iced Tea, this is the book for you!
The Portal Prophecies Series by C.A King is a Y.A fantasy/paranormal adventure that is full of action, magic, self-discovery and drama. The author tells tales full of mystical wonder; the book incorporates her re-imagining of many of our myths, legends, tall-tales and unexplained phenomena- which is incredibly original and clever.
This volume contains the first three books in the series: *A Keeper’s Destiny Book #1 *A Halloween’s Curse Book #2 *Frost Bitten Book #3
Willow is an orphan who has grown up in a magical place, not knowing what really happened to her parents, and doesn’t really understand the world she lives in. Everyone in her world has ‘abilities’, powers that they gained as they matured. Most people gain their powers/magical ability by the time they reach their sixteenth cycle. No one ever really knew what their ability would be, some abilities were incredibly useful or entertaining; while others were pretty much useless. Willow hasn’t got hers yet, she really hopes when she does, that they would make her special or would help better her position within the society. When her world comes under threat, Willow and a group of her friends set out on a quest to save all of existence. She discovers more than she could ever have imagined; not just about herself, but about her world and that of all existence. We learn along with her of the ancients, the guardians, the portals, the different realms, an evil king, a whole lot of different races and beings- and all the predictions contained in a book called The Portal Prophecies that can help them in their quest. The prophecies are the key to their success and survival; which they will need to decipher before it’s too late. Each book has its own prophecy to figure out, which results in a new and exciting adventure. This story is quite fast paced, very detailed and descriptive- with a very complex and multi-layered plot. A lot was going on, especially in book one, where to begin with I had a little trouble ‘getting into the story’ because there was so much to keep track of while the foundations to the book and series were laid out. But after a while, I settled into the story more and began to really enjoy it. I liked the characters and enjoyed watching them develop and grow in confidence as the story progressed. I did like seeing that Willow grew a lot throughout the series. She really was on a journey of discovery- not just about the quest and prophecies, but about herself and her own strengths and limitations. She also has an increase in her confidence, as her powers and abilities manifest and increase- she also discovers that she is capable of so much more than she ever imagined. All the characters were really well thought out, beautifully crafted, and are unique and memorable. If you enjoy young adult fantasy, action and adventure- with quirky characters that you can’t help but root for, love real value for money (3 books in one purchase price), and a captivating storyline….. then you really should grab this book and dive in, you’ll be entertained for hours!

City of Kings by Bree M. Lewandowski is a dystopian romance and a quick read, it is also a standalone but would be good to make into a series. Bree’s writing is simplistic and flows naturally without all the pomp and fuss of a lot of details overwhelming you. With strong and endearing characters Bree has written a story that crosses several genres and makes it work well. Her writing style is unique and builds a future world that is full of conflict and unrest but where a second chance at love can prevail.

Covert Identities by Amabel Daniels is the third book in the series and a romantic, mystery, suspense story that is a great story and not one to be missed. Covert Identities will keep you guessing as to what is around the corner and what is going to happen to our characters next. Mayhem and madness, chaos and secrets, lies and sadness are the name of the game in this book that Amabel has woven so well. What secrets can one house hold? Will uncovering one lead to more questions? Will they be able to put all the secrets together before one of them falls? Amabel certainly kept the surprises coming and kept you firmly engaged as you try and put all the pieces together. I really good read.
The Saint of Liars is the second book in The Lucky Devil Series by Megan Mackie. I am absolutely loving this brilliant series! After falling in love with the first book, I couldn’t wait to get my hands on this second instalment. I dove right in and devoured it in a day. It is definitely every bit as good as the first book, and there is no way that I could pick a favourite out of the two. The overarching storyline is spellbinding and full of intricate details and incredible world building. This is an urban fantasy with cyberpunk/neon-dystopia and paranormal elements. There is magic, action adventure, suspense, some mystery, drama, tension, chemistry, intrigue, danger, secrets, different realms….as well as a slew of mystical and mythical creatures. We are back with Rune Leveau at the Luck Devil Bar. We Met Rune in Book one when she had inherited the bar from her Aunt who had recently passed away. There is a lot more to Rune than meets the eye, even she isn’t fully aware of what she is capable of. She had traumatic past event that had forced her into changing her identity and keeping a low profile. But when a mysterious and sexy stranger turns up at the bar, her past catches up with her and her adventure begins. Saint Benedict is a corporate spy who is on the hunt for a programmer and some missing files. Little does he know that Rune has a much closer connection to the case than he could ever imagine. Circumstances throw these two together where they needed to work together to figure everything out, all the while trying to stay one step ahead of the sinister forces hell bent of getting their hands on the information first. This puts them in impossibly difficult and dangerous situations that will test them both- and put her life, and the fate of the Lucky Devil Bar, on the line. This story picks up two months after the events in book one. Rune is still coming to grips with everything that happened and hasn’t seen or heard from Saint Benedict since her revelation. But when assassins target her, Saint Benedict turns up and another new adventure begins- as they try stay out of the clutches of their evil foe, elude the assassins, and continue their search for the missing Masterson Files. Which results in some incredible, action paced reading. Ms. Mackie has delivered a rich, vibrant and vividly detailed story set in a cleverly constructed and interesting world. This is world building on a masterful level. The characters are truly brilliant- so well crafted and fully developed. There are a lot of characters to keep track of, but the story is so well written that I didn’t have any trouble keeping up. I loved how the characters grow and evolve as the story progresses. One of the better things to come out of the whole experience for Rune was that she ‘found’ herself and continues to discover new facets about herself and about her ‘abilities’. I couldn’t help but think how much of Tatiana’s story mirrored Runes. I love the chemistry between Rune and Saint Benedict, I really hope something comes from that. I have been guessing as to how their story will play out and I can’t wait to find out if I am right, or wrong. The only thing I felt was not as on point as the first book, and became a little confusing at times, was when one characters POV flowed right into another characters POV, without any lead in. But this minor issue didn’t detract from my overall enjoyment of the story. The story twists and turns, with lots of surprises and unexpected developments that had me on the edge of my seat in expectation. I really can’t wait to continue this story/series…. I sooooo hope there is a book three!!!!!!!! I can’t recommend this story and author highly enough. You really should read it for yourself, you won’t be disappointed!!!

The Portal Prophecies Volume I by C.A King is action packed, emotional, intense and the stakes are high. C.A. has written a unique story that is full of magic and friends but there is also danger lurking in the shadows. Just who can trust who? I enjoyed the different characters and watched them grow as they trek through each adventure. The books in this series should be read in order to put the whole story in perspective.
I recommend this to anyone who enjoys reading anything paranormal, supernatural and fantasy

The Scrying by Jaci Miller is the first book in the series and a debut for this author. It is a paranormal fantasy romance story that is well thought out and is engaging and draws you into the magical world. The story is a bit slow to start with but the pace picks up as we start to see the world from Jaci’s imagination. However ,I am sure it will pick up in the books to come as we face more of the destiny’s and prophecies, magic and witches and other magical beings and hidden realms where evil and darkness battle for dominance. A captivating and entertaining story has me anticipating book two. Let the games begin!

Arctic Fire Fortis Security Book 6 (Fortis Security #6) by Maddie Wade and another great book to this series I have come to love and regard as family. There is non stop action in this thriller that starts right from word go and does not stop. Roz and K have had dark pasts that we have only had glimpses of throughout the series. I knew that their story would be that much darker than the rest but Maddie has does a great job in telling them. These dangerous and brooding Alpha men and deadly women bring their skills to finally chase down a down an evil the world can live without. But in doing so means that some will need to confront and face terrors of the past and that may not be as easy as it seems.
Maddie Wade’s Fortis Security series gets better and better with every book and I always feel saddened when they come to an end because they are so enjoyable. I am eagerly awaiting the next book.
BOB by Tegon Maus is a quirky, different and unusual Sci fi read but I really really enjoyed it. I wasn’t sure what to expect from this book but I was pleasantly surprised. The characters are unique and charismatic and Bob will keep you laughing. He is a very colourful character that really makes this story come alive. The whole story is full of silly situations and out of this world moments but this is what makes this story work. The storyline is complex but surprisingly also simplistic in it’s execution. This is a quick pleasant and entertaining read and a winner.
If you love something quirky grab a copy and give it a go.
Game Changer: Book 2 of the Alterations Trilogy by Jane Suen
5 Stars
I LOVED this book, but that’s not a surprise because I love every one of this authors books. I’ve read them all and can not wait for the next.
I wasn’t even aware that there was another book coming after Alterations and when I saw it and then saw that its a trilogy??? This author writes in a way that when you pick her books up you have no idea what you may be in for. Every one of them are different and this to me is awesome!!
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.
Bring on the 3rd!! I can’t wait…This author has a style all her own and she is an immediate one click for me.

Dragon’s Pursuit a Red Slaves Novella by Tonya Cannariato takes us further in to the future where one’s learning and teachings brings danger closer than he knew. The safety of his type is still in peril and as the mystery and drama unfold we find that the life he hopes to bridge may never happen. What he does find is the one thing he is not looking for and how is he to trust when she is the enemy, nut could she be more than she seems. This paranormal story continues with the magic and mayhem and dragons and should not be missed.
Unsteady by Elizabeth York is a wonderful second chances/contemporary romance. It is well written, with depth to the storyline, and lots of emotion. I could feel and ‘see’ the heart and soul that Ms. York has infused into this story, which made the experience all the more memorable. The characters are complex, but beautifully developed ‘people’ who took me on a journey that I didn’t want to leave. There were times that they frustrated me, and I really wanted to shake some sense into them in those moments- but that’s only because I had emotionally connected to them and their story. London and Logan have a history, with shared experiences and memories, but they also contain painful reminders of broken hearts. What happens when lies and trust issues get in the way of finding happiness? How could they have gone from being so close, to years later having lived apart for so long. What happened to break them apart? What happens when they meet again after all that time? Can they overcome the secrets and lies? What does the future hold for them? Trying to condense this story into a short and concise review really can’t convey how great this story really is. If you love second chances, romance, emotion, endearing characters, and a story that will tear your heart out and then stitch it back together again- then this is definitely the book for you. I wonder what Ms. York has in store for us next?

Peddling Doomsday by Petra Jacob is a great psychological drama with prophecies, cults/secret organisations, rituals, conditioning, cover ups, lies, hidden agendas, control, suspense, and intrigue. Ms. Jacob is a new-to-me author whose work I have enjoyed exploring with this book. The story was very intriguing and suspenseful- Ms. Jacob certainly turned up the dial on the tension and anticipation to HIGH. The story is complex, with a lot more going on between the covers than I was initially expecting. Things are definitely not what they seem. Parallels can be drawn between this storyline and our society today, as well as the inner workings of a cult, and the many and varied conspiracy theories that abound on the subject of ‘media distraction’. The story gives us a front row seat to all of this and more, while drawing on mankind’s search for some meaning in our lives- and how many are looking to belong, for fulfillment, and a ‘better’ way of life. The characters were really well thought out, and were many and varied, they all had their own quirks, traits and personalities- The characters really drove this story and made it more interesting. I was rooting for Deirdre, and others, the whole way through. I look forward to reading more of Ms. Jacobs work.

The Scrying is the first book in The Scrying Trilogy and debut novel by Jaci Miller. This was a fantastic story and a superb debut! I was engrossed in the story right from the beginning. Let’s face it- she had me at modern witch and ancient warrior. I couldn’t get my hands on the book fast enough, and spent the night locked in this spellbinding tale. I didn’t want to put it down till I had read every last word. The story is dark and romantic- full of self-sacrifice, destiny/fate, secrets, ancient evil, prophecy, magic…. And much more. Dane and Rafe are really brilliant characters who captivated me and had me completely invested in them and the story, the whole way through… and still am! I can’t wait to dive into the next book ASAP! Ms. Miller writes a riveting story, but her world building is what really made the most impression on me- it is incredible. I was transported into the story, experiencing it in vivid colour right alongside the characters. Her words, and attention to detail brought everything to life, making the ‘world’ and everything that happened, so realistic and believable. Bring on book #2!

Dragon’s Pursuit is a novella in the Red Slaves Series by Tonya Cannariato. It has dragons, romance, battle scenes, action, adventure, some politics, different realms, a corrupt regime, paranormal beings/creatures, and more- all set in futuristic Russia. This is Maxim Krempenski’s story- he is a political science student and dragon shifter. He’s working on his thesis and not too far away from earning his PhD- which he hopes to use as another means for his shifter family to survive. But his plans get waylaid, as he ends up at the Hotel Paranormal- which is where this story gets really interesting. Add a sexy undercover KGB agent into the mix and the sparks fly. Will Yuliya follow her orders and ultimately betray Max, or will her heart overrule her head? This is a very short story, with a fast pace that made it really easy to read. Even though you could read this as a standalone, I recommend reading the other books in the series first, as you will have much more information to draw on- which will only improve your enjoyment of this story! I hope there are more books/novellas yet to come.
