This is a fun and engaging story with some red hot characters right in the centre. I love a good enemies to lovers story and this is a great example of that type of story. The surprise wedding and everything that stems from it builds up to be a great book. This is the sixth book in the series and can be read as a standalone. However, it is definitely worth reading all of these books. This one is well written and exciting to read. I connected with it easily and could not wait to see how things would work out. I would certainly recommend this book.

This is another brilliant addition to this intriguing series and I think it has to be my favourite in the series so far. The story is full of twists and turns and it utterly captivating. I felt like it was never a given as to which way it would all turn out, and that kept me on the edge of my seat. The characters have undeniable chemistry which draws you in all the more. Hannah and Doyle really made the book for me, adding that icing on the proverbial cake. They each seemed to have so much going on and yet came together convincingly. This is a well written and suspenseful book that is truly enjoyable.

Any book about Christmas and the holiday season and, mixed with romance, I am all for it. This book, to me, felt like a hallmark Christmas movie, small town with romance AND an inn, what more can you ask for! My heart ached to watch Holly struggle at first to meet her cheer quota, and comparing herself to her dad and the way he was always able to get the cheer needed. The interactions and romance between Ash and Holly are sweet and innocent, it wouldn’t be a Christmas theme without an immediate draw towards each other for the two main characters. This book just made me feel very warm and happy, like the Christmas season usually does for me. I look forward to what comes next in Emerald Hollow.
Daring Ceri is Book Six in the True Platinum Rock Star Romance Series. It is a second chance, rockstar romance full of love, loss, lust, betrayal, angst, and passion. The story centers around the characters of Ceri and Alex who went their separate ways years earlier. Alex’s band was on the verge of becoming famous and he broke it off with Ceris so he would not be cheating on her. Ceri was heartbroken over this but after years apart she has finally found someone and is about to become married. However, things get a bit tricky when she discovers that she is somehow legally married to Alex after a drunken wedding ceremony in Fuji years ago. Now she must find Alex and get divorce papers signed. When Alex sees Ceri he regrets breaking up with her and wants to win her back. He tells her to return to his band as their backup dancer for one tour and if she has no feelings for him, they can go their separate ways. The ensuing journey is a rough one as Alex tries to prove his love and loyalty to Ceri who is determined to not have him break her heart for a second time. No matter how hard she tries to fight it though, Ceri is inexplicably drawn to Alex. This was a steamy second chance romance that hooked me from the first pages and had me reading until the end.

A Death on Fools Lane is the fourth book in the Eve Sawyer Mystery series. I have not read the previous three books and was able to read it as a standalone without any prior knowledge of what the other books were about. I enjoyed that this was a lighter, fast read and that it is set between Christmas and New Years so you get a slightly festive feel from it as well. When Eve and her friends take up a house sitting job over the holidays, they think it will be just the get away they all need…until a body shows up in the yard. Every time I thought I had the murderer pinpointed, more details emerged so it kept me turning the pages. If you are looking for a fast holiday or stay-cation read, this is definitely something to check out. Reviewed by @zoltrixes

Another gripping crime thriller in the ‘Trentbridge Tales’ series which kept me hooked throughout. This standalone story follows Peter Winston-Moore who told rival dealers that he had discovered the genuine Picasso in a junk shop which then sold at Sotheby’s for $5.4 million. Peter then goes from being a bit of a wheeler dealer to running an exclusive art and antiquates gallery. Peter’s luck does not seem to end there though, as he keeps finding valuable items which other dealers have overlooked. Three of these dealers then become so curious about him that they follow him with disastrous consequences. Ex police detective James Sheldon is now a private investigator who’s been asked to prove the innocence of the main suspect in a murder which took place at the Albion Hotel. As James digs deeper he discovers that everyone involved has dark secrets that they want to keep. The blurb says that “The Trentbridge Crime series is as much about the location as the characters”, and the settings are definitely brought vividly to life by the descriptive narrative and added details, which add to the overall story. The characters are well developed and I felt engaged with them, as well as being fully immersed in the narrative. The storyline and plot twists kept me guessing as to the outcome of the story, making this a real page turner of a novel.

Born to die is the second book in the McIntire Series, and a followup to Atonement. This is another romantic suspense centered around a strong lead female, and touching on real life issues such as PTSD. Deputy Cassy Rivers narrowly escaped a lunatic two years prior and a string of thefts reunites her with an old flame. Enter Boyce Hunt, a fellow officer that just so happens to be her ex. Working a case with your ex has to be absolutely awkward and a struggle in itself. Can the two get along and solve the case? Will feelings of resentment deter the outcome? Maybe the old flame will be rekindled? Born to die can be a stand-alone book since it does not follow the same characters from Atonement, but there are interlinking details that pull you back to book 1, so I recommend grabbing them in order (so far). I liked this one just as much as the first book, and I can definitely see the story developing more into book three! Reviewed by @zoltrixes

Lucky Break is the second book in the Trentbridge Tales series. It is a British crime thriller full of action, suspense, mystery, murder, intrigue, deception, art, danger, secrets, and lies. Although it can easily be read as a standalone, I do recommend reading the first book because some of the characters overlap. The book brings back Detective Sheldon whom we met in the first book. James Sheldon is now working as a Private Investigator who has been asked to prove the innocence of the main suspect in a murder at the Albion Hotel. The murder involves a man who seems to have had several lucky breaks in the art world that have amassed him millions of dollars. Unfortunately, his luck ran out and he ended up dead. Now it is up to PI Sheldon to solve his murder. He is smart, feisty, and determined to solve the case. As PI Sheldon digs into the case and unravels the clues, he discovers an unlikely murder suspect who has been hiding right under his nose the whole time. The case takes some unexpected twists and turns that makes the book impossible to put down. Anxiously awaiting the next book in this amazing series!

Have you ever started a book and found you forgot everything around you?That is exactly how this book went. Vixen is so much stronger than she even realizes. As she is trying to get her life back, more from her past is brought forward. While she is scared, her friend is in need of help from her and the Devil’s Handmaidens. Is she strong enough to do this? How much of her past is going to continue to haunt her dreams? Having said that, I give no spoilers. This author is amazing! Her series is a must read. It is fast paced and you find yourself on an emotional rollercoaster. I will advise you to read this series in order. As you don’t want to miss anything. The characters are all strong, independent and a group of women that have found a family of sisters who have each other’s back. The events are so realistic and you can’t do anything to help them. Okay you can! By reading this series! I hope you enjoy Vixen’s story as much as I did and do. I am looking forward to reading book 5.
This was a fast paced second chance rockstar romance. It has all the elements of a story filled with angst, drama,tension, jealousy and misunderstandings. The author does an amazing job of allowing the reader into that world. Allowing us to see all the imperfections that go on behind the scenes and what impact it has on everyone involved. The characters of Jordan and Alexis are really well written and even though at times I wanted to bang their heads together their chemistry was off the charts. Jordan and Alexis had dated when they were younger but due to insecurities and jealousy on Jordan’s part it ended up tearing them apart. Fast forward and Jordan is the lead singer in the band and Alexis is asked to go with them on tour as a tour manager their paths cross again. As the old sparks rekindle will they fall back into their love they once knew or will the anger and jealousy that drive them apart the last time show itself and destroy this relationship a second time. Will Alexis allow her heart to be broken twice by the same man? Will Jordan finally win back the women he loved and lost. Their ride won’t be an easy one and with the added pressure of making this come back tour a success this won’t be a easy ride for either of them. The challenges will be many but can they successed together?

I absolutely loved this book! It’s an intense journey with pirates, powers, twists and turns, and so much more! This is the first book by Brittany Tucker I have read and she absolutely amazed me! She has a wonderful way with words, this book actually just came to life! Every scene was just so vivid and gripping! I laughed, I cried, I could feel every emotion she was portraying like it was my own! I really hope there is a second book in this series because I am not ready to leave Cam and Annie yet!

Mr. Barsins’ Toy Emporium is an enchanting children’s story that takes place in a world where imaginary friends are real! Four children – Lily, Jack, Audrey and Nick – are drawn to the Toy Emporium to claim their own imaginaries. Soon they, and their families, are caught up in the fantastic world of mermaids, dragons, sylphs and gnomes. But while Mr Barsin doesn’t ask for money in exchange for the imaginaries, there is still a cost he expects to be paid.
This is an engaging “be careful what you wish for” story. It explores different family dynamics as well as challenges that children face, including grief and neglect. Parents try and do what’s best for their children, and don’t always get it right. There are many times when a child and/or their parents are in danger, so for sensitive readers it may be good to read this book together to reduce anxiety.
This book gets four stars from me! I’d recommend it to kids, and grown ups, who love to play with their imaginary friends!

This set includes all three books in the trilogy: Alteration, Game Changer, and Primal Will. I liked the concept of this dystopian, sci-fi series; however, there were times where I found myself lost and having to go back and re-read. I also felt like Suen jumped around sometimes causing the reader to question themselves. But overall I enjoyed the suspense and mystery of the books and I would recommend them. I would suggest reading them in order and going ahead and getting the set because you are going to want to start the next book as soon as you finish. Reviewed by @meggs1717

This is a story by an author that I have enjoyed reading from the first book I picked up. This is one of my favorites yet. I enjoy this author’s writing skills and their attention to details that make the stories realistic. This story is no different. This is a well written story about Ehli-nikkalu. A story that will take you on a journey of discovery of love and a determination to save a kingdom. I enjoyed her character and what she brought to the story. She is a strong character that is determined and has great growth throughout. I enjoyed how I was pulled into the story from the start and was kept engaged to the end. This is a fast paced story that is easy to read and entertaining. There is great growth of the plot which added to the story as well. I enjoyed reading this book which I highly recommend.

I highly suggest reading the previous book in this series as well to help your enhancement of the characters and this author. Gumshoe is back in another great story with another mystery to solve. She is such a great character and I enjoy what she adds to the story. In this installment she finds herself trying to save a fifteen year old’s birthday party before it is ruined. A story that pulls you into the dark world of corruption. It has suspense and twists and turns you don’t want to miss. I enjoyed how I was pulled into the story from the start by the author’s use of details. There is great growth of the story throughout which makes it easy to read.

What an amazing read! If you want a phenomenal second chance rockstar romance…read this! The characters had their flaws but my goodness…I fell in love with them all. Rockstar romances is one of my favorite genres so I knew I would fall in love with this! I couldn’t put it down. The chemistry between Alexis and Jordan is so loving. She’s there for him, even through his hard times. It was a bit rocky but nothing they couldn’t work through. I was worried at the end, I couldn’t handle if this book ended with a cliffhanger lol. But the way the author ended it, was perfect! Loved every page! Highly recommend this!

Dakota is part of the most successful rock band in the world, he can have any woman he wants and does on a regular basis, but one night when she walked into the room in her tight leather skirt he had to have her. One night, but he can’t seem to get her out of his dreams and fantasies will he be able to get her out of his system.
Annabelle went to the concert not expecting anything but when Dakota’s eyes latched onto hers she was gone and then in the morning as she drove away not knowing if she could go with out seeing him again but when she discovers that she has a Management Internship with a band, to her surprise it is with Belefire and not only that she is in Dakota’s path yet again, can she keep her job strictly professional so people do not think she got the job because of him or will he wear her down and she succumbs to his charms.
This is the third book in the series and although you can read this as a stand alone story, you do get a understanding of some of the story from the other books as each book has the same timelines in the stories. The chemistry between these two characters is off the charts and watching them skip around each other is brilliant to read. The secondary characters in the book also adds to the story and you become invested in all not just the main characters.
There are brilliant parts where you just feel for both characters as they are trying to navigate the world of celebrity and also trying to see where the relationship will go and take they take you on the journey.
I can’t wait to read more about this great band and catch up with all the other characters along the way.

Morgan hires Blake and Ciara his daughter and her hit it off straight away the only problem is he also is finding the beautiful nanny charming and attractive, can he hid his feelings away or could this woman be the one he has been waiting for?
This is the first book I have read by this author and I loved every word of it. It is a short story but packs a punch. The main characters of Blake and Morgan jump off the page with the chemistry from there first meeting and it is not long that you are willing them to take the relationship further. I loved Ciara as a child of nine she is sassy and smart young lady and is a brilliant character in the book.
I loved the flow of the story and the way the story twists with the main characters was brilliantly to read. Can’t wait to read the next book and many more from this author.

The Moon That Fell from Heaven is a slow cosy read even though there is a lot going on, that transports the reader to a different time and world and way of life. It is a story where court politics, intrigue, lies, secrets, murder, danger, threating war, espionage, passion and proving oneself has been woven together to give us an exciting read and the pages turning.
This suspenseful tale sees our characters having to deal with scepticism, malice, and much much more.
Ehli-nikkalu has a kind heart and it is so easy to feel for her, but she has much to prove to those who see her has much lesser than them. She finds herself between a rock and a hard place when she learns of a secret but decide to take matters into their own hands to try to keep the kingdom from war and threats. If you like a story where fiction meets historical mystery, then give this one a shot.

Holmes – Review by Jenni Bishop
Daring Ceri is an Enemies to Lovers Rock Star Romance story and the sixth book in True Platinum series. Each book is centred on a different couple but can be read as standalones. However, I encourage you to start at the beginning. It is easy to like and become invested in Morgana’s characters and the chemistry between them is most certainly sizzling. Alex is a rock star bad boy and life of the party well he was once upon a time. He is also the one that broke her heart and crushed her spirit. Now that their paths have crossed again, he just needs to show her he has changed. It took a long time for Ceri to get over the one she thought would be forever but was the one who crushed her spirit and broke her. Now fate is messing with her by putting them in the same place at the same time. She won’t fall for that twice. Daring Ceri is also a forced proximity steamy second chance tale that is full of emotions, angst, trust issues, pain, hurt, tension, frustrations, drama and much more to keep the pages turning. I really enjoyed the push-pull between these characters and the will they won’t they. You will need to read it to find out what happens.

I loved the intensity and suspense of this story. Right from the beginning, I was pulled in. I have never read a romantic suspense that started with such an intense scene as a direct punch to the face. The female protagonists are both strong women just trying to do the right thing. The male protagonist is just trying to help. I found the writing to be perfect for a romantic suspense. I love how the author has just the right words to give you the feel of a thriller/suspense. You just feel the edge to the story as you try to figure out the creep and root for the romance. I enjoyed the story and really recommend the story/series to romantic suspense lovers out there.

4.5 stars Beautiful Dangerous is another book in the intriguing series Philly Heat. There are twists and turns that you just do not see coming in this forced proximity tale. Becky has cleverly woven yet another engaging mystery full of thrills into a tale that is compelling and engrossing. With secrets, lies, threats, danger and a stalker, just to name a few, it’s so easy to get lost in and the pages keep on turning. Add in romance, drama, fear and suspense what more do you need. Becky’s narrative is told through different POV’s which I really enjoy in a story because we learn so much more about the characters this way. The characters are fully realised, complex and you can’t help but become invested in them and feel that you are in on the journey with them. Doyle is determined that nothing will happen to her but with her unstable stalker on the lose nothing is guaranteed. Hannah just wants her life back but with someone out there lurking in the shadows her life will never be the same again. The chemistry between Hannah and Doyle is undeniable and I really, really liked them. How far would you go to save the one you love?
Beautiful Dangerous is an entertaining romantic suspense novel, that I recommend you read if you love this genre.

Gumshoe Goes to A Quinceanera is the second book in the Gumshoe Mysteries series by Laura Hawks. Having read and enjoyed several of Ms. Hawks’ books previously, there was no question that I would be passing this by when it released, as I knew it would be a fun read. It is a YA cozy mystery, with paranormal elements, humour, banter, action, adventure, whimsy, secrets, corruption, friendship, and intrigue. The story was well woven, suspenseful, and entertaining- and even though it was a little predictable in parts and is targeted towards younger readers- I still really enjoyed it. The characters are cleverly crafted into fully realised individuals with their own unique personalities, quirks, and flaws. The story is original, with a great pace and a smooth flow, making for an easy read. As I have said before, Ms. Hawks always manages to intrigue me with her clever storylines, and this story was no different. I loved meeting Mia in the first book, and especially Gumshoe- who really steals the show, every time. So I was looking forward to catching up with them again and enjoyed following them along on this second adventure. Now I am forward to seeing what they get up to next. Well worth the read! Happy Reading…
