Beth “Wildfire” Martin is a young woman with a bright future after a traumatic past which has left her reeling and hiding behind a protective wall of her own making so that her heart can remain safe. Scott Franks is the trainer that brought his best friend up the ranks in the boxing ring and now he has a new trainee and she is more than he bargained for.
As the two hit the road for Beth’s inaugural tour in the boxing leagues, they train hard and fight harder, especially when the places they stay sometimes mess up the reservations and Scott cannot stop himself from trying his hardest to win her over as she burrows deeper into his skin and soul. However, when they have downtime, Beth opens up to her best friend about her past, she is still desperately trying to deny her attraction to Scott, so she is equally frustrated and appreciative of him, especially when she decides to change her appearance after meeting a fan.
Will Beth ever be able to let her guard down and let her broken heart heal, or will she push Scott away like she has everyone else before he has the chance to hurt her too? This is a sporting romance where hope, healing and hurt all combine to attempt to create beauty after the wildfire burns through.

I was in love with this book from the beginning. Gaelan and Caitrin were intriguing. Enter Anne and a whole new amazing character is revealed! The final plot twist, I did not see coming! I cannot wait for another book by Barbara Barnett.
Like any amazing story it all starts with a book. Andrea finds in it the library and it sparks her desire to find Atlantis. She never knew what she would find there but a trip through a doorway at the bottom of the ocean brings her to new friends, her mates, and a tournament she just has to win. This book is so unique and so fun with the perfect amount of steaminess. I knew right away that I would have to read the other books in this series. I love the relationships between the characters, they are so well written. Andrea is a great female lead as is written with so much strength. I really enjoyed this story.

This one is not what I expected out of an MC. Yes it has all the clubhouse raunchiness, attitude and they deal in pretty much anything. There are only four guys plus the prez so not a lot of different people to remember. They have the family attitude and it was a bit weird to see/watch Sam and Lucifer. I was surprised she would volunteer to be in the wet T-shirt contest (just seems out of character for the club mom).
As for the story I liked the idea of it. The female MC has struggles and shows she will do anything to survive. At times she has sass and while I get she was a bit miffed at her brother the way she blew up on him from the beginning made me wonder if his attitude towards her reflected that. I did like her story because she never quits.
Overall this is a good story with a lot of action and drama. On a personal level I really do not understand that Frankie. Good thing we did not see him being nice so we only know him as a monster.

“Jessica thought she had left her adrenaline-fueled past behind, but when a disturbing confession from a teenager reveals a dark secret about her youth pastor, she can’t resist the call to take down a sadistic criminal hiding behind a pious façade. As she delves deeper into this shadowy world, her own demons resurface, threatening to consume her. Trapped in a twisted game of cat-and-mouse, Jessica must use all her skills as an amateur detective to track down her vindictive nemesis in the unforgiving desert. But with innocent lives at stake, she must also confront her darkest instincts in order to defeat the monster before it devours her.” Will she take down the criminal? Will have to read the book to find out. This is the 2nd book in the series, can be read as a standalone. Great storyline, great characters, fast paced that keeps you intrigued the whole time. Love reading books from this author. Cannot wait to read the next book. I give this book 4 stars.

I first picked up this book because the cover caught my eye. I kept reading this book because once I started, I couldn’t put it down. This story is absolutely fantastic, right from the word go. I was pulled in straight away and drawn to the characters. I thought they both went through so much character development. You could see their world expanding with each page and that just made me connect with them even more. I thought the story really did them both justice too. It was exciting and really well written. I was hooked from the start and could not wait to see how it would end. I am so excited to read the next book in the series and I hope it is just as good as this one!

This is a fun and engaging booked about a child’s first day at school. Joe is desperate to learn how to read and this book is all about the adventure he goes on to try and satisfy this need. Both my kids are big readers so they found it fascinating to watch Joe on his mission. For me, the illustrations in this book are what make it as good as it is. They really bring the story to life and make it feel like you are on the adventure with Joe, not just reading about him. I always enjoy a book my kids connect with, and this is definitely one of those. A fantastic story and I am sure it will be a household favourite.

This is the second book in The Apothecary’s Curse series. I have not read the first book, but it did not hinder my enjoyment of this one! I loved the historical mystery. The author’s way of telling the story is magical and so interesting that I did not want to put the book down. I will absolutely be reading the first one and then possibly this one again to get the full effect. That’s how good it is. Gaelen is a compelling character, and I had no trouble whatsoever getting wrapped up in his story and adventures. Trust me, you won’t want to miss this one!

These stories are on the darker side, action-packed, gritty, and will keep you on the edge of your seat. I was hooked from the start. I loved the way magic is portrayed as both a weakness and a strength. It adds a lot of layers and depth to the stories and characters. The world building and attention to detail is superb. You feel like you are living the adventure right alongside the characters. This trilogy is a must read!

L. Schneider – Review by Naomi McDonald
Wrecked is the first book in a new MC series and the first book that I have read by this author. I was intrigued by the description of the story and couldn’t wait to discover the characters. This is a book that is full of angst and tension. The characters each come with their own type of baggage and need to figure out a way to try and make things work between them. I thought the story was well written. Not only is it exciting to read but it sets the scene for the rest of the series really well. I already know this is a series I am going to enjoy the whole way through. I liked the authors writing style. It seems really suited to this type of book. I am looking forward to seeing what else she has to offer.

May continues to amaze me with her continuation of the Predator series. This is Noah’s story and tragedy has struck his life. Bijou is a small town widow struggling to keep the youth center she and her late husband dreamed of running and providing for their small town. When fate intervenes and pushes these two together, sparks fly and wounds are opened and healed. I really loved this story and though it did take a little bit of time to get into, I really loved seeing Bijou’s story and struggles with not only losing her husband very early on in their marriage, but now having to raise a tween girl on her own. I also loved seeing her relationship with her bestie, Mara. Again, May has outdone herself and I can’t wait to get my hands on her next book!

Claire and Alexis lost their mom unexpectedly. Now Claire is taking care of Alexis. Upon a routine visit to the orthodontist for Alexis, Claire meets Dr Clark. This book definitely shows the trials and tribulations one goes through when they like another but is afraid to give things a try. The way this story is written is beautiful and shows just how real life people and relationships go.

I absolutely loved this little novella about Scott and Beth’s story. It’s way more heartbreaking than you could have ever imagined but the redemption at the end for Beth is *chef’s kiss* and the way Scott fights for her is swoon worthy. I was so exciting to finally get to read their story and May did not disappoint with the spice or the drama. I’ve loved Beth’s character from the beginning of the series and to finally get her story was awesome. You don’t necessarily need to read the beginning of the series to understand this book but it will definitely help if you read Predator Parts 1 & 2. I cannot sing enough praises for this series! This was a super quick read too. Reviewed by @meggs1717

This is the fourth book of the Predator series and yet again I can say this talented author hit it out of the park! It is a wonderfully crafted storyline filled with beautiful characters that will keep you turning page after page. All the books of this series are technically standalones but I recommend reading them all because 1. they are all that good that you will simply want too and 2. there are characters mentioned/who visit the story that you will want to know more about who had their own books.

The third book in the Predator series does not disappoint. I have NOT read the first 2 books but this book is Scott and Beth’s story. Beth’s past has not been easy by any means, and Scott is just waiting patiently on her to open up to him about all that she has gone through and had to deal with. While training her as a boxer, Scott develops deep deep feelings for her and just hopes that she will open up and give him a chance.

The Human Mating Site Complete Series is a fun box set that contains the entire collection of The Human Mating Site series by B.L. Wilde. This is a spicy romp- 13 novella-length books that take us through all the highs and lows of plunging back into the dating pool after being married for 12 years. Bella is now in her thirties and dating again after so long is quite a daunting thought- we watch as she grapples with the challenges that come from loss of confidence, to rediscovering herself again, her sexy ‘reawakening’/exploration, and all the humourous ‘adventures’ that make for fun reading. Bella has been blindsided by a cheating husband (Mr. Wimp)- with twelve years of marriage down the drain. She’s ‘back on the market’ but feels quite lost – so she sets out on a journey to re-discover (find) the ‘woman’ she was before, who was lost and overlooked during her years of marriage. Things get a little messy, angsty, spicy, and fun- in the dating pool as Bella enjoys quite a few Mr. Right Now’s. Will she find her Mr. Perfect? The Series Contains: -Mr. Wimp (Book #1) -Mr. Smooth (Book #2) -Mr. Player (Book #3) -Mr. Kinky (Book #4) -Mr. Heartless (Book #5) -Mr. Rich (Book #6) -Mr. Boring (Book #7) -Mr. Nice (Book #8) -Mr. Unavailable (Book #9) -Mr. Rockstar (Book #10) -Mr. Pushy (Book #11) -Mr. B.S.

Wilde – Review by Angela Hayes
‘ I needed to think about how to proceed. A murderer might be in our midst. ’
First let’s take a moment to appreciate this gorgeous cover….. my favourite of the series, so far! Murder In Prospect is the fifth intriguing instalment in the Eve Sawyer Mystery Series by Jane Suen. This series just gets better and better with each new instalment, and I really enjoy following Eve along as she unravels some puzzling little mysteries. We join Eve Sawyer, who sets off to support her friend, Bob, who has recently lost his beloved uncle. Things don’t quite add up – and Eve becomes suspicious about the events leading up to the Uncle’s death. And as we’ve come to expect, murder and plenty of trouble seem to follow Eve wherever she goes. What happens makes for an engrossing read. Murder In Prospect is another great little cozy mystery – well woven with clever little touches that kept me guessing. A story of crime and investigation, friendship, amateur detective/s, a whodunit feel, agendas, a plot for revenge, suspense, drama, danger, interesting characters, secrets, lies/deception, tension, and a small-town setting. This story could be read as a standalone. But, I highly recommend reading the previous books, as there are some spoilers for other book/s contained here – while the other books also provide some great little mysteries to untangle with character details, development, and other relevant information which will certainly enhance your appreciation and enjoyment of this book (as well as the series as a whole). Can’t wait to see what Eve gets up to next. Bring on Book #6! Happy Reading…

Magic-Price C. L. Scheider outdid herself in this magical book of perseverance and tough life decisions. It reminds the reader to think before you act. There are consequences to every wish we make in life. I love that this story takes us through Ian Troy’s life, showing us where he was before he found the Crown of Stones and how he feels about being a magic user. Then allows us to see the consequences his wish has caused to himself and everyone. Fast forward ten years later, when all Ian wants to do is forget that he’s ever been a magic user, causing his mind to remain in a fog with his drinking habits, when everything he had been running from has caught up to him. What will Ian do, will he go back to his old ways and use his magical abilities, or will he remain constantly on the run? Read this first book to find out…I am so excited to start book #2!
Magic-Scars Ian Troy is back in this second installment of The Crown of Stones series, Magic-Scars. I was so excited to jump right into this book to follow the fate that Ian had befallen after his tragic mistakes had come about from wishing with the Crown of Stones. Now that Ian’s finally freed from his captivity, he enters a world full of people being unsettled and fearful for their lives. Ian’s old enemy Draken of Langor has taken control of Mirra’kelan and is a terrifying king who rules with an iron fist. Ian finds himself amongst a group of rebels who are seeking a way out of their situation. As Ian tries to find and put back together the Crown of Stones, he is faced with odd marks appearing across his skin, that continue to multiply in number as his search continues. What is the meaning of these magical scars that are appearing, do they have anything to do with the Crown of Stones? Will he be able to help the group of rebels to find their freedom, and regain his use of magic without overloading his addictions? You will not want to set this book down as you follow Ian Troy’s latest adventure.
Magic-Borne In this final tale of The Crown of Stones series, we are excited to find out what the fate of Ian Troy will be. The rebellion has been destroyed, and so many have passed due to the violence. Mirra’kelan is now under new rule with another self-appointed emperor, the people are even more fearful for their lives. Ian Troy will have to come out of hiding to help save his friends and family. Will he be able to continue to utilize his magic and not fully give over to the beast inside of him or will he be able to hold onto his humanity? Will Ian’s premonitions come to pass, or will his trip to the ancient past bring about peace and serenity for his people? This book series just continues to grow in suspense and the thrill of watching Ian Troy strive to undo everything he had brought to pass from his first run-in with the Crown of Stones. This book has amazing characters that you will be so in-depth that you may lose yourself in the pages as you ride along this exciting journey of war, love, and the drive to never give up.

This is the first book of the series. I highly recommend it. I couldn’t put it down. Ian is a magical and sword fighting man. He has women constantly trying to be with him. He was in the war 10 years ago that he trying to forget. But someone returns and makes him relive some of the moments he has been trying to forget. I cannot wait until book two.
The second book just keeps getting better. Like the first I highly recommend it. Ian has everything taken away from him, after he captured. He has to fight to keep alive and learn who to trust. Can he do or does he give up? Ready for book three.
This is the last book of series. It was just as great as the other two. Ian has to time travel to fix past mistakes. He needs to try to save himself before he can save everyone else. Is he able to do it?

I am a huge fan of Brooke May’s books, especially The Predator series. I was so happy that this book is all about Noah’s story and that we get to know his character on a deeper level. This story starts immediately with a tragedy, which had me in tears from the first page. After reading the Prologue and learning of the tragic occurrence that befell Noah, you get to read all about our new characters including a widower, Bijou, and her daughter Claire, who run a community center in their small town in Georgia. After the tragedy Noah experienced, he moved his family to this small town in Georgia, where he went to heal. What a beautiful story that unfolds as Noah and Bijou meet and work together to improve the quality of the community center. I was so excited when some special characters made an appearance from the past Predator series, no spoilers on who, but know that the storylines do continue with some little hints as the storyline goes along following Noah’s new life. Happy reading as you continue this newest installment of The Predator series. @Brandy Rymer 08/2024

After reading books 1-3 in this series I was excited to start the fourth. Back in the Ring was a well written, easy flowing, spicy, fitting addition to The Predator series. Bijou and Noah are both single parents who after losing their significant others have continued on raising their little ones, but when they meet each other will it all work out for good, or not? I enjoyed reading their story very much.

This author is one that I never pass up because they write marvelous and engaging stories! This is the third book in The Predator series, and it has been absolutely incredible so far. I highly recommend reading the first two books in the series before jumping right into this one. There is plenty of background you’ll want to learn about to truly experience this one. Not to mention that you’ll be extremely addicted after the first few pages. Just like the previous two, I couldn’t find it in myself to stop reading for even a moment which may have led me to walking straight into a wall at one point. Other than the bruise from that, I have zero bad things to say about this book! It may be a quick read, but I promise the author does an amazing job providing all the details of a much longer read. The spicy chemistry is magnificent, and I fell in love with the characters all over again. If you’re looking for an unforgettable contemporary romance to get lost in for the day, look no further!

Alchemy of Glass is the second book in the Apothecary Series. It follows Gaelan in the aftermath of book 1, The Apothecary’s Curse. He’s left facing the consequences of his actions while immortal. His only hope is Anne Shaw. Despite their past will she help him change the future?
This was a fantastical story that weaves through time. The author has done a great job of mixing genres to create this world. Even if you haven’t read the first book you’ll still enjoy this story. But as always I do recommend reading them in order, it will help with some details.

This was the first book I had picked up by this author, but the cover alone was incredibly intriguing. Once I read the synopsis, I knew I was in for quite a ride. I dove right in and lost myself in this gripping story that is packed with suspense! Harper is an incredible main character, and the chemistry between her and Caleb is magnificent. The author has created characters that you root for and feel their experiences as your own. Just when I thought I figured out what was happening, another twist was waiting around the corner! I couldn’t find one slow moment to put this book down, so I ended up reading the entire thing in a day. I don’t regret it, and I’d do it again! With this being the first book I had read by this author, it blew me away and set the bar pretty high for the next. I’m excited to see what they have in store for us next! If you enjoy the romantic suspense genre, don’t pass this up!
“Back in the Ring” by Brooke May is the fourth installment in The Predator Series, but it stands well on its own. The story follows Bijou Augustine, a young widow struggling to keep her late husband’s dream alive while raising her daughter in a small Georgia town. The arrival of Noah, a mysterious mountain man with his past traumas, brings new challenges and unexpected hope into Bijou’s life.
May’s writing is engaging, and she skillfully balances themes of grief, resilience, and new beginnings. The characters are well-developed, making it easy to connect with their journeys. This book is a heartfelt exploration of healing and finding strength in adversity.

Dark is the Wood is a young adult fantasy. This mix of Little Red Riding Hood and Beauty and the Beast meets dragons takes us on a well-written adventure. Gillian finds herself going to the Shadowlands to save her brother when she ends up caught by the son of The Great Dragon. This book has it all. The world-building is detailed and intriguing. The characters are all very interesting. I can easily see myself reading a story about any one of them. The main character Gillian is easy to relate to. The reactions and decisions she had/made were very understandable. The book pulls you in right from the beginning. The romance was good and not overwhelming. This was an easy-to-read and fun YA Fantasy.

Malice (Demented Souls Book) by Melissa Steven. This is the 10th book in the Demented Souls Series and it can be read as a standalone but I always recommend reading them in order. This is the story of Malice who has just become a fully patched member into the Demented Souls Motorcycle Club. He also works on a ranch and on a errand into town he sees a woman that is clearly being bothered by a man so he steps in to help her. Bonnie is the woman’s name and her ex will not take no for an answer so Malice gives her his number in case she needs his help again. Her ex ends up making her so uncomfortable she calls Malice and stays with him at the Ranch to hide out. As they spend time together they begin to have feelings for one another but can she trust a man again. Will Bonnie go back to her ex just to get him to leave her alone? This is such a good book full of mystery, danger, romance and terror. I have loved this series and can’t wait for the next one!
Wrecked: The Merciless Few by S. Courtney. I love a good Motorcycle club series and this book was a great fit. Its the first book in the Merciless Few series and I’m so ready to read the next.

Master Romano (Book Four in the Masters of the Consulate Series) By Sylvia Black
First to Sylvia after reading five of your books you have well and truly extended my reading genre into Vampire stories. Book four is just as beautifully written as the other books in this series. I like the writing style it makes the books so easy to read and enjoyable. In this book we follow Romano and Raven. Before you read their story, I hope you have read the series from the beginning as like I have said previously its good to get some background information. So, we have Romano who as the story suggests has a dark soul, but does he? Raven said to be smart and somewhat playful and would have no problems standing up to Romano. Out of all the Vampires and their mates, I think Romano and Raven could possibly be the best together, but this is just a personal opinion. Romano finds himself in a spot of trouble as a loyal confidant has gone wayward and as a result he is being investigated to see if he has anything to do with it, now he needs to prove his innocence. Romano says he can not trust any witches, Raven has always been afraid Vampires solely because of the stories behind them. Raven is saved by Romano which brings some sort of understanding between them and due to this they get close, and the start of their romance begins. Now these two need to be able to work together not only to hopefully save her family but also to prove the other vampires that he can be trusted. Can this be achieved? You will need to read the book to find out.
