My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Tightrope by Maddie Wade was rollercoaster of a first book for me. This book will leave you screaming at your kindle because you can’t believe the way it ended and are in need of the next book. There were so many twists that I had to re-read a few chapters just to make sure I was reading things right. Your emotions will be all over the place; you will feel sorry for someone then by the end you will want to punch that person. I am not going to give anything away; I will just say that I couldn’t put this book down If you’re looking for a book that will suck you in and have you begging for more; highly recommend that you read this book.

5x a million stars

Oh. Em. Gee.

I’m going to start by saying this book is officially in my top 3 favorite books so far this year..and no doubt in my top 10 of all time. This whole story shattered me and the ending…There aren’t words.

Im sitting here blank staring at my screen trying to figure out how to put into words how much I loved this book. Everything..The writing style, the storyline, the pace, the shock factor, the twists and turns, the screwed up way I fell in Love/Hate with Gavin and still feel that way even after finishing, the main characters, the secondary characters..The only negative I can come up with is that I don’t have the 2nd book in my hands yet…Yet being the key word.

Why have I not ever heard of this series is all I keep asking myself, I should already be saying I’m on my 4th reread, because I already know without reading the rest that I will be rereading, and more than once.

This story had me experiencing all the feels, if it can be felt I promise I felt it and anyone that loves reading or even kind of likes to read needs to have this book and this series and this author in their collection

I’m just in awe and I’m sorry I didn’t go into any of the storyline, this needs to be experienced head on…Trust me!!

Brilliant!!!

Honey Gold (Murder in Savannah, #2)Honey Gold by Lindsay Marie Miller
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Honey Gold (Murder in Savannah Book 2) by Lindsay Marie Miller continues on from book 1 Emerald Green. Here we find some answers left over from book 1 and we are thrown right into the ​danger and action, murder and mystery, thrills and spills. There are a lot of heart stopping moments that keeps you engaged from beginning to end. The plots just keep throwing up more drama and twists that keep you guessing. There is a lot happening and everything is not as it seems. The betrayal and secrets and lies, just keeps on coming as we learn more and more about these characters. The story continues at a fast pace that has you wondering what’s going to happen next and who will survive.

It will be interesting to see what happens in the next book.

Pearl White (Murder in Savannah Book 3) by Lindsay Marie Miller continues on from book 2 Honey Gold. ​It is a Young Adult story crime and​ ​danger, action and mystery, thrills and spills and lets not forget the romance. This story was a little slower to get started, and I found Addie frustrated me a lot more in this book with her attitude and her insecurities. There is more drama and twists that keep you guessing even when you thought things would be different. There are more betrayals, secrets and lies that leave you guessing and then we are left with a huge cliffhanger that will leave you frustrated.

Now I have to wait for the next book with bated breath.

Donut Be Shy (Men of Lakeview) by F.G. Adams ​is one sweet and tasty romance novella and a very quick read that can be read in one go. I really enjoyed these characters and would love to have it as a longer story. The characters are well written and made me laugh and I fell in love with Amy and Tanner and the explosive chemistry between them. If only they could own up to what they both want and realise that not everything is as it seems. I enjoy reading F.G’s work it is always quirky and fun.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

5 Stars

Lie to Me: An Expose on Sex for Money by Lynda Filler is a surprising read. There was a lot more between the covers than I had imagined. I was expecting an expose on sex for money, a journalistic hard facts and investigative piece- but what I got was so much more- it’s a woman’s fiction/ romance, wrapped around real-life situations which gives it a believable and relatable quality, which helped to deliver a deeper and more complex story than the book first appears. This is my first read from Ms. Filler and after reading this book, it definitely won’t be my last. The author did a wonderful job in infusing her story with emotion, I was quickly invested in these wonderful characters and their story. The story is brought to life with vivid and descriptive imagery. I felt like I was right there along with the characters.
A sexy, engaging, interesting and thought provoking read that tugged at my heart-strings.
Bravo!

Thank you, Ms. Filler!

Donut Be Shy is a Men of Lakeview story by F.G Adams. It is a sweet, sexy, fun, light-hearted novella- and is a super quick, funny and spicy story that you could easily finish before bed. Ms. Adams is on my ‘must read’ list and I was interested to see something a little different from her. I loved Tanner and Amy, they are great characters and very easy to like and root for. Tanner is sexy and strong- he’s determined to win Amy over and I admire how persistent he was, especially since Amy wasn’t making things easy for him. I think Amy and I would be great friends.
I recommend this delightful book to anyone wanting a quick, sweet, romantic and sexy read. It won’t disappoint!

Tightrope by Maddie Wade is a brilliant story that had me hooked right from the beginning. This is one of those books that has so much more happening in it than you expect. This is a clever, complex story that has surprising developments that you don’t see coming, but will keep you flipping the pages to find out what is going on. I have loved Ms. Wade’s Fortis Security series, so I was excited to find that this new story was out, and I had a lot of expectation for what I would find when I began reading. This is a story that I recommend going into ‘blind’- and let the author take you on a surprising and captivating journey. The story does end in a cliff-hanger and is set to continue in the next book- which I can’t wait to get my hands on!
Well done!

Donut Be Shy (Men of Lakeview)Donut Be Shy by F.G. Adams
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Donut Be Shy by F.G. Adams is a novella in her Men of Lakeview series AND it has been written for the Donut Collection (indeed). I have read every single book and novella in the series as I got hooked on it from the first book on! It goes a bit weird (with the order) but never mind as it is so good that you do not care and simply crave for the next one! The only ‘complaint’ I have is that I wish it had been a full length novel as I would have liked more but I always want more….
So Donut Be Shy is gives us Amy Young and Tanner “Moose” Mason’s story! They both are part of the Lakeview gang – Tanner is part of the Trident Security and brother in arms to all the guys that are married to the Blackwood women! I mean they meet on the beach of Keagan and Jo’s beach house (the ones who have read the series know what I mean!)!
It is the story of how lack of communication can really mess up a potential relationship and how our insecurities (women, listen up!!) can hinder us to find love! It is also a story of friendship and encouragement and persistence and hope! And of course, let’s not forget about the delicious desserts – I wish I could have a bakery…yeah…make yourself a cup of tea and pick up a pastry and enjoy couple of hours with Amy and Tanner and I promise you, you will want to read the other stories in the Lakeview series as well!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

 

Wild Poppy is another wonderful addition to the Wildflowers series by Vivian Winslow. I am really enjoying this series so far, the characters are so beautifully crafted, complex and fully realised individuals who bring these fantastic stories to life. This story is captivating, sexy, steamy and intriguing- although Ms. Winslow really put her character/s through the wringer in this book. I love Poppy, she’s beautiful, strong and determined. A lot of people in her situation may have given up, but her strength of character gave her the drive/determination to overcome her difficulties.
I enjoy the surprises and unpredictability of Ms. Winslow’s stories and the way she is able to easily coax me further and further into her story- making me not want to miss a minute of it, and needing to know what happens.
This story is set to continue in the next book- and I can’t wait to find out what happens!
Sublime!

Donut Be Shy by F.G. Adams is a fun, flirty romance. I thought the title was intriguing and cute and was pleasantly surprised to find that I also have enjoyed other books by the author. Her Men of Lakeview series has been a getaway from life series that I have been enjoying off and on. This is the story of Amy and Tanner. The two characters have great chemistry but have a bit of a miscommunication problem. The problem is relatable and the two banter back and forth in a playful manner. This can be read as a standalone but does have appearances of characters from other books. I really like Amy and Tanner aka Moose. The book is a quick, fun read to get away from everyday life. I will be on the lookout for more from F.G. Adams in the future.

The Jilted: A Novel by Meghan O’Flynn is a haunting tale set in New Orleans. The story is haunting and kept me reading to find out what was going on. The main character Chloe has people who have gone missing in her life. Is it something temporary or is something more sinister at play? There is a great atmosphere in the city and a plantation that guides the story and helps to form the characters. At times I was caught off guard because I thought the story was going one way and then found out I was wrong. This is my first book by this author and I was impressed. She wrote characters that carried the story and made me care about what was going on. I am glad I picked up this book and will be looking out for more of her books to read.

There Will Always Be Us (Fitz Series Book #3) by Theresa Sederholt – Review by Angela Hayes

It Will Always Be UsIt Will Always Be Us by Theresa Sederholt
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

 

It Will Always Be Us is the third book in the Fitz Series from the supreme storyteller Theresa Sederholt. It is a clever and thrilling suspense that has some drama, mystery danger, secrets, betrayal, action…. and so many more intriguing elements, that I was completely engrossed in the story by the end of the first chapter. This story could be read as a standalone- but, I really do recommend reading the first two books before embarking on this one, as they lay down some of the framework for the series, as well as introducing all the recurring characters- all of which really sets you up to get the best out of your reading experience, not just of this book but the overall series.
As I have come to expect from Ms. Sederholt, the story is quite complex, where we get multiple points of view, as well as some twists and surprising developments- making it feel like we’re getting a whole lot more story than first meets the eye. Ms. Sederholt masterfully choreographs all the elements into a fast paced, thrilling, and seamless read. Having read the first two books and loving them as much as I have, I really had some high expectations for this story- so, I am really happy to say that Ms. Sederholt didn’t disappoint, delivering everything I could have hoped for, and then some. It’s really hard to pick my favourite from the three books so far, because they really are so fantastic, but I think this one has managed to get ahead of the other two, just. There is a brilliant puzzle to unravel in this story, with epic tension and intense suspense, I spent most of the time on the edge of my seat, holding my breath as the story played out. As with the other books, this really is an emotionally charged and gripping read- and a very worthy addition to this first-rate series.
Fitz, who we met in the previous books, has been called in to help a widowed mother of three, to figure out the puzzle that her husband’s death has created. Things just don’t add up, and Fitz has a bad feeling that things aren’t going to end well. Danger is a lot closer than they realise and lives are on the line. What did her husband get himself into? Can Fitz figure it out before it’s too late?
Once again Ms. Sederholt kept me completely spellbound with this gripping tale. I loved following along with Fitz on this investigation, putting all the pieces of the puzzle together and trying to figure out what was going on. I also loved catching up with all the characters from the first book- his loving, close-knit and supportive family (although somewhat quirky) and work colleagues, really are such wonderful characters. I am in awe of Ms. Sederholt’s creative abilities, and how she manages to produce such incredibly well written stories, every time, and making it seem effortless. This is one of my all-time favourite series, from an author on my must-read list. Now I really can’t wait to get my hands on her next book. It can’t come soon enough!

Thank you, Ms. Sederholt!

‘The Dead of Winter’ is the second book in the Seasons of Jefferson Series by Julie Solano and Tracy Justice. This book continues on from the events in ‘When Fall Breaks’ (Book #1) and really needs to be read after the first book to really get all the relevant details, character information and an understanding of the storyline, so you can have the best possible reading experience of this book. The story has drama, heartache, intrigue, difficult circumstances, tested relationship/s, and more. I enjoyed the first book and dived right into this one as soon as I had finished it. I had some expectations for this story and I am pleased to say that this book is every bit as good as the first.
This story takes a look at true to life characters dealing with real issues and situations- which makes the story realistic, believable and entirely relatable. This is definitely not a fluffy, hearts and flowers read- this story is raw and intense in parts. These characters were all really well developed and interesting. There was edge of my seat moments, emotional scenes, highs and lows, twists and surprising developments. It is told from several points of view, which added an extra element of interest for me. The story has a great pace and is a smooth and easy read. A great second instalment in the series- now for book #3.

Blood to Fire is the second book in the Red Slaves Series by Tonya Cannariato. This is a fantastic paranormal/fantasy- with action, danger, drama, magic, dragons, KGB, romance, and intrigue. Being the second book in the series, and having a continuing storyline, I really recommend reading the first story before jumping into this one. As with the first book, this story had so much going on in it. I loved the authors descriptive style and her attention to detail. She is a superb storyteller, with a flare for unique and memorable storylines.
This book picks up after the events in the previous book. Anne and Ivan are still coming to terms with what happened and are still learning about/how to control their powerful abilities. I really loved these characters, although Anne did frustrate me at times with her though processes and denial. This story had more surprises in store too, which made for captivating reading. This is a dragon lore/Dragon story lover’s dream- with a difference that will keep you hooked till the end!

Where There’s Hope is the second book in the Well Paired Series by Marianne Rice. This is a contemporary romance- about second chances, forgiveness, redemption, responsibility, and finding love. This is my first book by Ms. Rice, but it certainly won’t be my last. This book can be read as a standalone, which is what I did, but I will definitely be going back to read the first book now, too.
Hope Windward has managed to make a comfortable life for herself and her daughter. She is a strong, independent single parent who has done a wonderful job raising her daughter on her own after tragedy struck. Now the man responsible for upending their lives is back in town, which makes her angry- she’s not happy to have him there.
Cameron Smithfield has spent 10 years in prison paying for what he did. Now he wants to atone for what happened by becoming the best uncle he can for his niece. He holds a lot of pain and grief over the event that shattered so many lives. He hopes that he will get a chance to prove himself. But what happens when feelings develop? Will she ever be able to forgive him for what happened? Will she admit her own feelings? When the time comes, and doubts arise, will she trust in him?
This is a very enjoyable, steamy story that I am happy to recommend as a great feelgood story with a few surprises.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Crime Lord’s Captive by Mia Knight is the first book in her Crime Lord series. This is my first encounter with this writer and I am not sure how to describe it. This book is intense and insane, in a good way as it is as brutal as you can imagine when you think of organized crime and mob war and anti-hero and a heroine on the run and …. Man, what a twisted story the writer has spun and it does end with a cliff hanger though do not worry, the whole series is out (I am just late to the Vegas party) so you can just jump into the next book in the series and eventually get your closure and I will be along on the ride!
So, Crime Lord’s Captive is the story of Lyla (the Captive) and Gavin Pyre (the Crime Lord) and man, isn’t that one messed up relationship! Gavin is intense, brutal, cold, rich and once you see beyond the surface, I do not think you’d dare to picture a relationship with him unless you are willing to give up who you are … and obviously Lyla was not up to it so she is on the run, living a ‘normal’ life that does not include designer clothes and jewels and … well, but in this first book her life is blown out of the water as Gavin finds her and blackmails her to return … and please do not forget that there is a mob war brewing in the side lines so be ready, the first book ends with a cliff hanger! I am looking forward to finding out what’s next and if there is any redemption for Gavin …

White Horse Slave is the stunning debut novel by Rett Tyler. I was incredibly intrigued by the cover and blurb of this book and decided that I really had to read it- I am really happy that I took the plunge. This story really has so much going on in it but is so wonderfully woven that all the elements blend together into a smooth and addictive read. Ms. Tyler has a bold and powerful style to her writing that grabs you and holds you in the story from beginning to end. I couldn’t put this book down- I was so invested in the character/s and the story that I HAD to find out what happens. I ended up devouring it in an evening and came away with my mind blown. This book has all the intrigue, suspense, drama and mystery you could every want in a story- and the psychological aspect to this story is incredibly well done. Although the subject matter could be considered disturbing and heavy- the author hasn’t sensationalized or glorified it in any way, but has given a raw and honest look at a shocking situation. This is emotional, funny, heartbreaking, shocking, and riveting- all rolled into a superb story.
The characters are complicated, really well developed and somewhat quirky individuals who really bring this story alive. I was so invested in Rhiannon/Trinity’s story and was rooting for her the whole way thorough. She did frustrate me at times with her very negative view of herself, and the finality to some of her thoughts. But, I could understand why she was like that, after everything she had been through. Her inner dialogue was quite heartbreaking at times, and her disturbing little rhymes really gave another perspective to her mental state. I loved Ethan, he is divine. But I think there is a whole lot more to him than we have been shown here.
The ending had my jaw on the ground….. OMG!!! I NEED the next book NOW!!! I really have to know what happens- I hope there isn’t too long to wait.

Thank you, Ms. Tyler!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

 

Holding on to Hurt by Charlotte Roth is a page turning drama. This emotional tear jerker was full of tragedy, anger, grief, hope, belief, unconditional love, determination, sacrifice, gripping details, unsettling revelations, strength, and hope. Again, Ms. Roth showcases what a versatile and talented author she is in this captivating read.
Irene Hurt gets the news that every parent dreads hearing, that her son has been injured and is in a coma. Her once perfect world is shattered in an instant and we follow as she and her husband both deal with their son’s situation quite differently. Right from the start, Irene remains hopeful- she stays be his side talking to him, telling stories, and hoping that on some level he is aware of what’s going on. But her husbands perspective isn’t so positive, and this puts a strain on their relationship.
Dealing with the shock, grief, anger and stress of the situation is further complicated with new discoveries and unsettling revelations. What ensues made for a very engrossing, heart wrenching, thought provoking and unforgettable read!
A word of warning though- have tissues on hand, you WILL need them!
Brilliant!

The Front Range Butcher (Jarvis Mann Detective #6)The Front Range Butcher by R. Weir
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The Front Range Butcher: A Jarvis Mann Private Detective HardBoiled Mystery Novel is by R. Weir. This is the seventh book in the Jarvis Mann series but can be read and enjoyed as a standalone book. Jarvis is a sarcastic but hardworking private detective who has gotten busier and more involved in his cases since the series began. His reputation as solving the mystery has made him highly wanted. This time he is involved in a case with a serial killer that dropped off many years ago. The writing and story are great and kept me on the edge of my seat at times. I like the character of Jarvis, he has a tendency to say what is on his mind and not always making fans of what he says. I had read another book in the series and enjoyed the progression of the character. It is possible to read and enjoy the book without having read the entire series first. I will be checking out more from R. Weir in the future.

Every Breath You Take (Bayou Devils MC Book 3) by A.M. Myers

5 Stars

Wow!! Another grand slam from this amazing author. I can’t even figure out what words to use to explain how much i loved this book. No I take that back..This whole series…I already want to start all over and read them all again. I’ve said this in previous reviews but it’s worth repeating…I love MC books but this series paints this MC club in a different way that I just can’t explain. It’s more like a complete family and I love every single thing about it.

This book..sigh…might be my favorite of the three and I’m thinking if I went back and read them I would say that about each one. This author takes chances with her stories, you always think you know what’s coming, I know I do anyway and I read and wait for it realizing that what I’m thinking is going to happen doesn’t and in the meantime something really dramatic has happened. You would have to read this book to understand what I mean by that. I held my breath a few times and cried a few times and I have to say I laughed out loud a few times. The chemistry between these two characters was spot on and I still laugh when I think of a few things that happened between them.

The only thing that upset me was the last page, I kept swiping looking for who the next book might be about, there’s a few I’d love to read about, and reading about our book 1 and book 2 characters took me right back to their stories. This author has an amazing talent and this series will be a favorite of mine from here on. While I wait for the next in this series I think it’s time I look at what else there is available.

Loved it and it deserves way more than the 5 stars max.
