Beaver Blunder (A Scandalous Slip Story #3)Beaver Blunder by Gwyn McNamee
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

 

Beaver Blunder is the third book in The Slip series by Gwyn McNamee. This series has been such a refreshing and fun reading experience. This is a series of romantic comedies- where all the stories are all original, very humorous, witty, incredibly HOT and steamy. I really enjoyed the first two books in this series, so my expectations for this book were quite high. Ms. McNamee didn’t disappoint and has once again delivered a fantastic story that I devoured in one very easy sitting.
Madeline Ryan is a criminal attorney who is rushing to court one morning and slips on the wet floor. She ends up on the floor with her skirt up over her head, on the one day she isn’t wearing underwear. Embarrassing. Mortifying. This will make her the talk of the courthouse and may ruin not only her reputation, but also her career. The one person who comes to her aid is infuriatingly bossy and incredibly sexy.
Owen Grant is a civil attorney who happens to be at the courthouse when a beautiful woman takes a fall on the slippery floors. He can’t help feeling concern for her, especially under the circumstances. She comes off as abrasive and feisty. But he sees through her prickly armour and won’t let her push him away. What ensues make for wonderfully funny, romantic and very sexy reading.
Ms. McNamee and her stories are definitely on my one-click list. I cannot recommend her, or her work, highly enough!!
I really looking forward to seeing what she does next!

Thank You, Ms. McNamee!

Keep Happy (A Silvervale Second Chance Romance Series Book #1) by A.C. Bextor – Review by Angela Hayes

Keep Happy (A Silvervale Second Chance Romance, #1)Keep Happy by A.C. Bextor
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

 

Keep Happy is the first book in the Silvervale Second Chance Romance series by A.C Bextor. Once again Ms. Bextor delivers a superb story, that tugs at your heart strings and shows what a versatile and talented author she really is.
Katherine Morris met Mason Cole when she was 12 years old. They developed a firm friendship, the more time they spent together, the more their feelings developed. But circumstances forced Mason to move away, leaving them both devastated. She does her best to live her life, but its never quite the same without him. She marries and has two adorable daughters. Her marriage isn’t what she had hoped. She is unhappy, and her cheating husband only adds to her woes.
Then Mason returns to town and old feelings come rushing back. What does fate have in store for them? What about her marriage? Will they get their second chance at happiness, together?
This is a great story, with wonderful, complex and conflicted characters. My heart ached for what they had been through and I was rooting for them the whole way through.
The story has a great pace and a smooth flow. Its told from a duel POV, and the story moves seamlessly from past to present perspectives, to give us a better understanding of events.
I will definitely be reading more of Ms. Bextor’s fantastic books. I wonder what she has got for us next?

Thank you, Ms. Bextor!

Sacrificed (Ariya Adams Trilogy #3)Sacrificed by Anna Applegate
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Sacrificed (Ariya Adams Trilogy) by Anna Applegate is part of one of the best paranormal series I have read this year. This is the last book in the trilogy and boy it packs a punch. ​I love this  series and ​the ​vampires that are the main characters. The suspense and mayhem, action and twists make it hard to put down. Just who are the bad boys and who can be trusted? This engaging story holds your attention and the world Anna has created is easy to imagine. Love and friendships are those that you can relate to and you become invested in the characters. Ariya finds what she needs to hopefully rid the world of evil but in doing so she finds out the truth of just where it will leave her. Realising keeping her fate to herself is the only way to keep those she loves safe.

Don’t look any further this is the paranormal story for you.

Beaver Blunder by Gwen McNamee is the third book in the Scandalous Slip series and is  a quick, easy and funny read. This romantic comedy is scandalous and you will have a  smile on your face and laughing out loud from start to finish.     Madeline Ryan has fought hard to get where she is in a cut throat mans world, but one  spill could change all that. She knows that she has to pull up her big girl panties and  carry on as if she is not the laughing stock of the moment.     This one read that no one and I mean no one should miss.

Tears of Tess (Monsters in the Dark, #1)Tears of Tess by Pepper Winters
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 dark romance and this author exceeded all my expectations. This is the first book of the Monsters in the Dark series. You can’t help but to fall in love with these characters. I was hooked on the very first page and I could not stop until the end. It only took me a few hours to devour this unique story.

Tess Snow is a very lucky young woman. She has only one more semester until she graduates and a man that loves her to death. Tess is surprised when Brax her boyfriend tells her they are going on a mystery getaway for their two year anniversary. She is in love with Mexico the food, drinks, and beaches are like heaven. Tess is having the time of her life with the man she loves. Then their lives are turned upside down. Tess is kidnapped and brought into a very dark world. She is all alone with no one to help her but she finds the will to fight. Tess’s nightmare has come true when she is sold to a new master. She is now a possession not a human and she has to obey him. Tess hates this man they call Q but deep down she feels something that she has never thought she would ever feel, compassion. Will Tess be rescued or will she be his slave forever? Will she run back to Brax or will her new master change her forever?

I absolutely love this story. The storyline has it all dark romance,suspense, mystery, and healing. You will fall in love with these characters right from the beginning. Tess is beautiful woman that is really smart. She is a very strong woman from what she had to endure. Q is the master. He is very dark and also broken. Q is trying to heal from his past but it keeps on haunting him. This is a dark romance that have some scenes that might be a little too hard to read for some readers. This author will keep you at the edge of your seat until the very end. I can’t wait to see what will happen next to these unforgettable characters.

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

Honey Gold was intriguing 4 stars read for my first book by Lindsay Marie Miller. As this is the second book in the Murder in Savannah series; I didn’t know that this series needs to be read in order. The blurb is what had me wanting to read this book; so I might have been a little confused in the beginning.

The writing and the “What will Happen Next” feel throughout the book, is what kept me turning the pages. There are little storylines in this book besides just the main story. I definitely will be going back to read the first book to fill in some gaps. I really want to know more about Tom and Addie. I’m looking forward to reading more of Tom and Addie’s story.

Looking For Trouble: Rogue Series ExtraLooking For Trouble: Rogue Series Extra by Lara Ward Cosio
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

 

Looking for Trouble is the fifth instalment in the Rogue Series by Lara Ward Cosio. The Rogue series is one of the best Rockstar romance series that I have had the pleasure of reading. I think I’m drawn to the series not only by the authors superb writing skills- but because of the characters she has created. These are not your ‘typical’ Rockstar romance stories, there is so much more going on in each book. These are not sweet, fluffy reads, these books are much deeper, somewhat raw and gritty stories that pluck at your heart-strings and take you on a journey that will be hard to forget. If you haven’t read the rest of the series, you are seriously missing out. This book could be read as a standalone, but as this storyline plays out in the same timeframe as the previous book, Finding Rhythm- so there are references and details revealed here that occur/occurred in that book. So, if you intend to read the series, I highly suggest reading all the books in their correct sequence, before embarking on this read. The information contained in those books will set you up in a better position to fully appreciate this fantastic story.
I loved how supportive the band is towards Danny. It made for some real heart-warming moments. Although the topic of addiction could be considered quite heavy reading- but this story proves to be uplifting and inspiring. The sensitive subject/s are handled in an honest, realistic and insightful way. There were scenes that made my heart ache for what Danny had been through, and there were a few tears along the way. There were also touching moments and a few laughs as well. Having the characters from the previous books make appearances in this story was like revisiting old friends- and I loved catching up with them and seeing what’s happening in their lives, too.
Ms. Ward Cosio deserves a standing ovation for this story- she certainly exceeded all my expectations. This instalment has a different tone/mood/flavour than the other books in the series but is such a worthy and wonderful addition to the collection, and my favourite of them all!
That ending made me want to continue reading, I had tears in my eyes and while I thought how fitting that ending was for the story- at the same time I didn’t want it to end, I wanted to turn the page, go on to the next chapter/s and find out every new detail.
I am really looking forward to Ms. Ward Cosio’s next book!

Thank you, Ms. Ward Cosio!

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

 

The Front Range Butcher is book six (and the seventh instalment) in the Jarvis Mann Detective series, by R. Weir. This is a fantastic detective story, with lots of mystery, suspense, danger, a serial killer investigation, intrigue, tension, and action.
We have met Jarvis Mann in the previous books- and I just love this character and the series as a whole, so much. This book brings Jarvis his most dangerous and testing case yet. When a serial killer is back in action after a couple of decades, Jarvis is tasked with the investigation which will test him like never before, bringing lots of danger, as well as pitting him against a cold and calculating killer. In a race against time before the killer can strike again, with secrets, and hidden agendas- will Jarvis be able to bring closure to the case, once and for all?
Mr. Weir has out done himself yet again! This is such a superb story that held me in its grip from beginning to end. It is a complex and multi-layered storyline, which Mr. Weir expertly choreographed into a smooth and gripping tale. This has just taken the top spot as my favourite of the series, so far!
I can’t wait to read the next book “Mann in the Crossfire”!
Brilliant!

Thank you, Mr. Weir!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

 

Michael’s Heart by Lori Thomas Harrington is a phenomenally good story. It is such a beautiful, emotional, and moving story that left me a blubbering wreck. It broke me and then pieced me back together again. I read it a week ago and I have tears in my eyes again now as I write this review, thinking about it how much it touched me. It is a story that will stay with me for a very long time, and one I will go back and read many times over the years. I am having trouble doing this book the justice it deserves- and I don’t want to spoil it by giving too much away. I highly recommend diving in blind and let the story wash over you- you really won’t regret it…. As with Ms. Thomas Harrington’s previous book “The Point”- this is definitely one of those stories that you don’t expect to have such a connection to, or one that would have such a powerful effect on your emotions, but it will definitely leave its mark on you. I will warn you though before you start reading, to make sure you have LOTS of tissues on hand, because you WILL need them.
Ms. Thomas Harrington is an exceptional storyteller whose work I will always be happy to read. I wonder what she has in store for us next?

Thank You Ms. Thomas Harrington!

Showtime (Game Hunter, #2)Showtime by Mark Kloss
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

4 Stars

Showtime is the second book in the Game Hunter series by Mark Kloss. This Book is a zombie story with a difference. It is a Dystopian/paranormal/ Zombie story- with some action, drama, mystery, and humour. The story is very original- and entirely entertaining. It is a fun read, and really gave me the feel of ‘Hunger Games’ meets ‘The Running Man’ meets ‘Warm Bodies’.
Tremayne, Red and the team training and planning for the Game Hunter TV show. There is a lot at stake and failure will have deadly consequences. They are pitted against professional game hunters, where their chances of success seem minimal at best. Who can they trust? Will they outwit the professionals and beat them at their own game? Mr. Kloss is a new-to-me author and I am really pleased that I took a chance on this book.
This is such a great action-packed adventure- Mr. Kloss takes zombie lore and gives us his own unique spin on it and weaves a great story in the process. The characters were well developed, complex and likeable- they each had their own unique characteristics, quirks and flaws. I loved the banter between Tremayne and Red, and the camaraderie of the group.
Bring on book three!

Thank you, Mr. Kloss!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

 

The Finder of the Lucky Devil is the first book in the Lucky Devil Series by Megan Mackie. What a great find this book has turned out to be! WOW! I certainly wasn’t expecting that. This is an exceptionally good urban fantasy/cyberpunk/neon-dystopia story with paranormal elements, magic, action and a slew of mystical and mythical creatures.
I am not even going to try to give you a run down of the story, as the blurb does a far better job than I ever could- plus this is a book you really don’t want any spoilers to. Ms. Mackie has delivered a rich, vibrant and vividly detailed story set in a cleverly constructed and interesting world, and the story is quite enthralling- which is testament to Ms. Mackie’s superb writing and world building skills.
There is so much happening in this story which hooked me right from the get-go. It’s got a real noir feel to it, and lots of neon-dystopia and cyberpunk elements, too. The story twists and turns, with lots of surprises and unexpected developments that had me reading long into the night just so I could find out what happens.
I can’t recommend this story and author highly enough. I have already pre-ordered her next book. Can’t wait!
Kudos!

Thank you, Ms. Mackie!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Game Hunter by Mark Kloss is a fun read. At first I was hesitant because I thought the Zombie genre had been done to death with them being brain dead, shuffling, rotting corpses but Mark has done a good job of putting a new spin on things and his writing lets you have a laugh. Thinking and intelligent Zombies, who would have thunk it possible. This book is fast paced and there is full steam ahead non-stop action throughout most of the book and at times it was a little repetitive but it keeps you intrigued. The story is definitely an easy to read and entertaining and most of the characters are well written, others seem a little over the top. Just when you think you have everyone and everything figured out, Mark throws in another little twist.

Looking for a fun read? Grab a copy of Game Hunter.

Tears of Tess by Pepper Winters
5 Stars

This is the first book that I have read from this author and I am amazed. The story was so well written. It bit into my emotions, chewed them up and spit them out. The book is extremely intense right from the beginning until the end. There is a lot of violence making it a hard read but well worth it. It is definitely not for everyone because it will have triggers for some. I had to put the book down a couple of times in the beginning, my heart was breaking with the terror that Tess was going through.

Tess is content in her life. She knows there is something lacking in her relationship with her boyfriend so she’s hoping this vacation can ignite things once again. Unfortunately she is kidnapped, drugged and sold. She is terrified and alone, stuck in a situation that would break most women. Tess found within herself a strength she didn’t know existed. She is a fighter. Tess’s emotions are a roller coaster and she pulls you along for the ride.

The author pushes boundaries and though you may not agree with certain things, you can fully understand what Tess is feeling and going through. Only from being sold and bound to a master that Tess truly finds herself and flies free.

Shifter Mate Magic (Ice Age Shifters, #1)Shifter Mate Magic by Carol Van Natta
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

 

This book is a great twist on a shifter story. Shifter Mate Magic is the first book in the Ice Age Shifters series by Carol Van Natta. This is my first book by Ms. Van Natta, and I am happy to say that it definitely won’t be the last. It is a spellbinding paranormal romance, with an insta-love, shifters, magic, witches, fairies, elves, wizards, drama, tension, and a lot of other mystical creatures….
Jackie Breton is on the run, having escaped from a very violent shifter pack- who want her back, dead or alive. They will be tracking her down and Jackie can’t afford to get caught. She has a lot to protect, not just her life, but the life of her unborn baby. You see Jackie, is pregnant. When she runs into trouble at a truck stop, a handsome stranger comes to her rescue. He leaves an impression on her, but she can’t allow herself to be drawn to him, or to ever trust him after she realises he’s a shifter. She’s had it with shifters, they only spell trouble- so she leaves him and the truck stop behind. But not long after, he once again helps her out of a difficult situation and promises to take her to a safe haven.
Trevor Hammond has worked hard to build his independent trucking business. He’s certainly one-of-a-kind… but very lonely. He has lost hope of ever finding his mate, so he’s completely unprepared when he bumps into her at a truck stop. He can tell she was in trouble and he really wanted to help- but it was also very obvious that she didn’t like or trust shifters. When trouble strikes, he leaps in to protect her- determined to do whatever it takes to keep her safe. When he receives a warning from a trusted source, he has no choice but to whisk Jackie to the safety of the sanctuary town of Kotoyeeesinay, high in the Rocky Mountains. This becomes a race against time, as danger closes in on them. Will they reach the safe haven in time? This story really held my attention from beginning to end, as I raced through the pages to discover what would happen to Jackie and Trevor.
This is a very quick and easy read. It has a fast pace and a smooth flow. I really enjoyed the authors rich, warm and romantic style. The story is emotional, and heart-warming. Her characters are wonderful, fully developed individuals who are very endearing- I quickly became invested in them and the outcome of their story, rooting for them the whole way through. This is a superb start to what is shaping up to be a brilliant series. Now I will be exploring all the other books she’s released to date…. And I can’t wait to dive into “Shift of Destiny”, the second book in the Ice Age Shifters series.

Thank you, Ms. Van Natta!

Looking For Trouble: Rogue Series Extra by Lara Ward Cosio
5 out of 5 stars

Looking for Trouble in the Rogue Series is Book 5 written by Lara Ward Cosio is the fifth book in her Rogue series. I highly suggest reading the previous books in this series to help you enhance this series and give you some background information on the characters. We even see what our favorite couple from the first 4 books are up too. Ms. Cosio’s writing skills has the ability to pull me into her story with ease. I have enjoyed all the characters in this series and Danny Boy is no different. I loved how the characters played off of each other and their quirky ways. They all took me on an emotional roller coaster ride were one minute you could cry the next you could be laughing . This has been an enjoyable series and this story just adds to it.
His name is Danny Boy that’s all he has ever been called. No surname needed. Even though Shay Donnelly, the drummer for Rogue, is his baby brother, everyone in the whole of Dublin hell, maybe even all of Ireland knows him as Danny Boy. Danny Boy has made a total mess of his life. He has burned bridges, lied, mostly to himself and Shay, now he is finally, he is drug-free and the struggle is painfully real.
Ms. Amelia Patterson, is his therapist extraordinaire, and thinks it’s time I go back to formalities. She says it’s only right now that I’m closing in on forty years of age and am trying to improve myself. But I have no illusions over the ways in which I’ve manipulated and hurt others just to get by, but something has changed.
So, he will keep going to the sessions, both to please my brother, and because I’ll need them more than I know. Especially once she enters my life and not only tests everything I’ve fought for, but threatens Rogue by stirring up the past.
It won’t be easy my life never is but now I’ve got a dog named Roscoe, a therapist named Ms. Patterson, and an unfamiliar, but welcome, new band of brothers backing me. All I need to do is stop looking for trouble.
I highly recommend this book/series…

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

 

Uncovering Camila is the third book in the Wildflower series by Vivian Winslow. I am really enjoying this series and discovering all the wonderful characters that Ms. Winslow has cleverly crafted. I must say that this book is definitely my favourite, so far. The book is a wonderful New Adult romance that enthralled me right from the first few pages.
I adore Camila, she is strong, determined and driven- knows what she wants and is working hard to make it happen. Then she meets Marshall and begins to reconsider everything she thought she wanted. She has some choices to make and we follow all the high and lows as this story unfolds. Marshall is a fantastic character, so swoony- and he’s perfect for Camila.
The plot is really well developed, and beautifully written- with descriptions that are detailed, vivid, rich and bold, she weaves an emotional, and very sexy story. Ms. Winslow has a very inviting style that easily pulls you into her story and keeps you turning the pages to find out what’s going to happen- and always leaves you wanting to come back for more.
The best of the bunch so far!

Thank you, Ms. Winslow!

The UnholyThe Unholy by Paul DeBlassie III
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The Unholy by Paul DeBlassie is psychological thriller about good versus evil. The story is mysterious due to its Native American and Mexican lore and mystical nature. The twisted religious cult was intriguing and there is a lot of action and suspense, evil and darkness to keep me reading because I needed to know what happened.

A delusion of grandeur is a person’s belief that they are someone other than who they are, such as a supernatural figure or a celebrity and that is exactly what is the basis of this story.

If you are looking for a book that includes psychological thrills, twists and turns then grab a copy.

This is the third and final book to the Ariya Adams Trilogy. This has been my favorite paranormal romance of this year. You will have to read the first two books in order to read this one. I was hooked to this book right from the first page. This book starts right where last one stopped. You can’t help but to fall in love with these characters one last time. It only took me a few hours to devour this amazing ending to an awesome series.

Ariya Adams is on a mission with her friends to destroy the greatest evil that has ever been created, Audrey. They all travel to a place where it all began to see if they can get some answers. Ariya knows that she need to find the weapon that will destroy Audrey once and for all but where can it be? Ariya is also having problems with her heart. She is still in love with James but she doesn’t want to put him into danger so they are just friends. Ariya finally finds what they have been looking for but she has to hold on to a secret until the right time. She also doesn’t know who she can really trust. Ariya is the key to end this war once and for all no matter the cost. She will do anything to make sure that she protects the ones she loves Will Ariya destroy Audrey or will Audrey destroy everything she holds dear to her heart first?

I absolutely loved this book. I am so sad that it is the end. The storyline has it all romance, mystery, suspense, and love. You will fall in love with these characters all over again. Ariya is stronger than she has been before. She knows that she needs to end this war once and for all. Ariya is deeply in love with James still but she wants to keep him safe. James is still protecting Ariya with his life. He loves her like no other but he needs to do his job. You will also love the secondary characters as well. They bring the story to life especially Riley. He is funny but he can also be serious when he needs to be. This amazing author will keep you on the edge of your seat until the very end. The ending left me in complete shock and I can’t wait to see what this author will do next.

Shifter’s Journey (Spirit Walker Thrillers Series Book #3) by Laura Hawks – Review by Angela Hayes

Shifter's JourneyShifter’s Journey by Laura Hawks
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

 

Shifter’s Journey is the intriguing third book in the Spirit Walker Thriller series by Laura Hawks. This is a paranormal romance with mystery, suspense, drama, action, adventure, and more. Not having read any of Ms. Hawks’ books before, I wasn’t sure what lay in store for me when I opened the cover. But after a couple of chapters, I was quite intrigued by what I was reading. The story is quite complex, with several threads playing out, which the author cleverly choreographed into a great story. She has a very detailed and descriptive style, which she used to paint vivid images for us to ‘see’ the story unfolds. The book can be read as a standalone.

Sierra Hall is a reporter who normally prefers the quiet life. But, she inexplicably finds herself drawn to Colorado Springs- pulled by her gut instincts to a place she’s never been before, but somehow seems familiar. Strange feelings, unusual dreams, and an unsettling encounter with a mysterious man are just the beginning of her life changing adventure. She really feels that unknown forces are trying to ‘tell’ her something- that she really must follow as it has everything to do with her future/destiny. What do her dreams/premonitions mean? Where will her adventure take her? What happens along the way? This book is well worth the read to find out.

“She wasn’t exactly sure why, but she knew it had something to do with her destiny, her future lying in wait. When they became even more persistent, she took a last-minute vacation from her work and packed a small, rolling suitcase as she booked her flight. She rarely did anything so impulsive, but the need to get to Colorado grew increasingly imperative with each passing day. Her senses screamed at her to travel by train through the mountains and she needed to get there as soon as possible to fulfill the strong intuitions. She had no idea what it might entail, as her feelings had never been quite so distinct before, but she knew she needed to be here, for something big was about to happen. Something important that would affect her life in a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and if she missed it, she would forever be lost. A part of her would cease to exist in some significant way.”

This story took me by surprise, and I am so glad that I took a chance and brought it. I will definitely be reading more of Ms. Hawks’ work in the future.

Thank you, Ms. Hawks!

Beachcomber Danger (Beachcomber Investigations Series Book #8) by Stephanie Queen – Review by Angela Hayes

Beachcomber Danger (Beachcomber Investigations, #8)Beachcomber Danger by Stephanie Queen
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

 

Beachcomber Danger is the eighth book in the Beachcomber Investigations series by
Stephanie Queen. It is a romantic detective series with mystery, suspense, some drama, action, intrigue, and of course, romance. This story could be read as a standalone, but I recommend reading all the other books to get a better understanding of these wonderful characters, their backstories and everything they’ve been through to get them to this point. Not to mention that the other books are also really great and will enhance your overall enjoyment of this story.
Another first-rate book from Ms. Queen. There really is so much to love about this particular series, and I can’t help liking and becoming invested in Shana and Dane’s lives while following them on their investigations/adventures and trying to unravel it all as everything plays out. I never tire of Ms. Queen’s stories, and she manages to pull me in each and every time with her addictive plots and descriptive style. Her attention to detail makes the stories come to life in a very realistic and believable way. The characters are complex, a little quirky and entirely endearing. Ms. Queen always delivers, and this book is no exception!
This time the newly engaged couple are about to face danger yet again, protecting the President from an assassination plot. The stakes are higher than ever before, with so much more to lose. Will there be a price to pay?
A fantastic addition to the series, which just seems to get better and better with each new book!

Thank you, Ms. Queen!

Beachcomber Danger: Beachcomber Investigations Book 8 – A Romantic Detective Series

By Stephanie Queen

5 Stars

This is one of my favorite series, everytime a new book is added I can not wait to read it, following Dane and Shana along this journey has been so much fun, and I love the supporting characters that have been along the way..Acer being my favorite as well as Cap and how Ronnie went from being just a stringer to being so valuable has also been fun to watch.

This book had all that you would expect while reading this series..Danger, suspense, a bit of snarkiness from our leading lady and the exasperation and protectiveness from our leading man, and of course the all important romantic moments.

I could read this series forever, I love every one of them and absolutely can’t wait to see how the future plays out for all of them and hope there are many more cases to solve.

I highly recommend this book as well as the whole series but to get the whole story I recommend reading from the start, there is so much that got them to where they are today and I just know everyone would enjoy it as much as I have.

Plot Twist (Romance in Rehoboth Series Book #3) by K.L. Montgomery – Review by Angela Hayes

Plot Twist (Romance in Rehoboth #3)Plot Twist by K.L. Montgomery
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

 

Plot Twist is the third book in the ‘Romance in Rehoboth series by K.L Montgomery. It is a really fun and light-hearted romantic comedy. Romance in Rehoboth is a series of standalone stories where each book centres on its own particular character/couple. The stories may differ storyline, feel and tone- but they all are set against the backdrop of Rehoboth Beach, Delaware. And characters from the other books make appearances in this story, too. Even though you don’t have to have read the other two books in this series to be able to enjoy this one. I do recommend reading them anyway- because they are wonderful stories in their own rights and well worth the read, too!
I think Ms. Montgomery is a gifted storyteller, easily pulling her readers into her story and keeping us connected and hooked from beginning to end. I love how her story depicts characters that are realistic, believable and at the same time promotes a body positive attitude that makes her work stand out from the crowd.
As with all her other books, this is really well written, entirely captivating, and stands out from others in the same genre. I have a hard time picking one favourite from her books because they are all so great- but this one is definitely right at the top.
I can’t wait to see what she has up her sleeve for us next!

Thank you, Ms. Montgomery!

Paris Ever After by K.S.R Burns – Review by Angela Hayes

Paris Ever AfterParis Ever After by K.S.R. Burns
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

 

Paris Ever After is the first book that I have read by K.S.R Burns. It took me on an interesting journey and I met some great characters along the way. Even though this appears to be the sequel to The Paris Effect, it could be read as a standalone without feeling like you are missing a big part of the story.
The book centres around Amy Brodie who takes off to Paris on a bit of a whim. But perhaps she should have mentioned that to someone…. especially her husband. What was originally only going to be a short stay turned out to be much longer. Amy begins to build a life for herself, meeting new friends, having fun and finding some of the enjoyment she felt she had lacked in her ‘old’ life. But what happens when her husband shows up unexpectedly- does he want to reconcile or make their separation more permanent? Amy has another unexpected upheaval that adds to her stress and confusion. What should she do- as her Paris dream begins to crumble. What does fate have in store for her? Will she return to her husband and old life, or will she hold fast to life in Paris?
This story was a great introduction to K.S. R Burns work. There were some parts that I felt were a little repetitive, but not enough to keep me from enjoying the story. There are some fantastic descriptions in this book that really brought everything to life and I loved feeling part of the story at those points. The characters were good, although there were times that Amy really frustrated me, and I wanted to shake her. Some of her actions were/seemed somewhat irrational and unbelievable.
The story had a good pace and a smooth flow- with some drama and a few twists to keep things interesting.

Thank you, K.S.R Burns!

Brave (The Sisterhood Series book 1)
By Chelsi Arnold

What can I say but I am glad to have read this book. Its well worth the five-star rating I have given it. Brave is book one in Chelsi Arnolds The Sisterhood Series and I am looking forward to reading further into the series. For a change we have a book about women in the services and not it makes a lovely change. This book is written from the year 2023 when a young lady by the name of Greer gets drafted and must prove that she is as good as the men. Its also about a group of women must learn not only to be part of the team but learn what it is to be part of a sisterhood and have the other girl backs always. All the girls in the sisterhood come with their own background history but have one thing in common, and that’s to prove they are good at what they are training to be. When the Seals have been men orientated for a long time the girls have more to prove than they think, and I can tell you they aren’t going down without a fight, proving to the men they can do just as good. This book is written from a woman’s perspective which is great, and it shows us that if we really want to achieve something we can, if we put the time and effort into it. This book flowed so well and was written equally well.

Cougarlicious by Lily Ryan – Review by Jenni Bishop

CougarliciousCougarlicious by Lily Ryan
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Cougarlicious by Lily Ryan ​hit me hard right from the start and is an emotional rollercoaster ride. I sobbed and ugly cried right from the first chapter of this story. It is a second chance romance where forbidden love between an older woman and younger male makes for some nasty responses. A forbidden love that is full of love and emotions that will pull at your heart strings. I truly loved this story so much I wish that it was way longer, because I could not get enough of these characters. Lily did a great job of making the story feel real.

If you are looking for a story that takes you on an emotional journey of loss and love and second chances then this is story for you
