Cry Baby (Pierce Brothers Book 4) by Belinda Williams – Review by Enisha Reaves

Cry Baby (Pierce Brothers, #4)Cry Baby by Belinda Williams
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

If you are looking for a book that will give you all the feels, leave you crying, smiling, and wanting to keep turning the pages, then this book is for you!

Cry Baby by Belinda Williams continues the story of the lovable Pierce brothers. Although it’s the 4th book in the series, it can easily be read as a standalone and thoroughly enjoyed.

This book touches on some difficult topics but does it in a relatable and heartfelt way. I loved the fact that the characters seemed real, flawed, and nuanced but still kept the fun of a romance. I can’t wait to pick up other novels by this author.

Happy Reading!

This author has quite the play on words. This was a Sexy and romantic story. There was such a deep connection that could be felt with our characters as they found their way back to one another. Brandon and Calliope had a hard road. Every ounce of the story was heartfelt and definitely a must read.

Oh forbidden love tell me thy ways. I enjoyed the paranormal aspects but for me the whole forbidden love thing was quite trite. It seems as if it’s the same story just in another paranormal setting. I would have loved more details that made this story unique and persuasive. Our heroine needed a more detailed backstory and more tenacity when choosing between things.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This was a great 5 star read. I was pulled in right from the beginning. This was a fun opposites attract read, city girl and country boy. Their lives couldn’t be more different but boy when the sparks flew it was game on. I really liked all of the characters, they added a great element to the story. My emotions were all over the place. Can these two make it work? I was on the edge of my seat waiting to see what happened. I was very happy with the ending. The author does a great job of pulling you into her story and you are done before you know it. This can be read as a stand alone but I suggest reading from the beginning. I look forward to reading more from this author and series. 1-click and get started today.

Sexy, Spicy, and Sweet. This is the second in this series and really brings out the best of the family. Being witness (even in reading a book) to a couple finding true lasting love and a little bit of sexy sass to go with it is an incredible experience. I thoroughly enjoyed this and while I didn’t read book one I am going back a reading book one and book two again in succession. If your looking for a sweet and steamy romance this one is for you.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I’ve been anxiously waiting to get my hands on this book after reading the first book in this series! This book, while the second in a series, can be easily read as a stand alone.

Brandon Rossi is the front man for a rock band, Canis Major and his best friends are his band mates. He’s restless as the band has just come off a huge international tour and his artwork is slowing down a bit. He’s ready to get out and find what it is that he’s missing. Rae, one of his dearest friends, encourages him to travel and continue doing some artwork while he’s seeing sights. Brandon decides to go to Morocco to visit his friend Chris, and while there, he meets up with an art gallerist.

Calliope Chen-Bisset is that art gallerist and once she lays eyes on Brandon, a lot of great childhood memories come flooding back to both her and Brandon. Callie is the sister of one of Brandon’s bandmates and while they never hooked up while growing up, there has always been some sort of attraction there. Brandon helped Callie get through some difficult points in her life but not the most difficult ones.

Sparks start to fly between Callie and Brandon as soon as they lay eyes on each other but it’s been 15 years since they last saw each other. Callie’s family hasn’t mentioned her in years and, truth be told, there has been a bit of a rift between them too. Callie has experienced things that no woman…no person ever should experience but now that Philippe is a part of her life, she will always be looking over her shoulder. He’s the crazy ex-lover who just won’t let go.

Can Brandon keep his reputation in tact while learning to love Callie and her scars?

I loved this book and already can’t wait for the next one! There are some difficult topics covered and the author does issue a warning at the beginning of this book. I was not personally triggered by any of the scenes as they were handled quite delicately with enough information to let the reader know what happened without being overly graphic. This is a second chance romance of sort, but more importantly, a phoenix rising from the ashes story.

Emissary (A Star-Crossed Celestials Story)Emissary by A.L. Morrow
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Emissary is a standalone novel, or it could be used as a prequel to the Star Crossed Celestials series. Emissary follows Kai, an emissary of death. An error on his part caused his love to perish which pushes Kai to want to redeem himself by taking on a task. The target he was tasked to find is Byron Black who has fought for his life for as long as he can remember. Kai unexpectedly falls in love with Byron and together they search for who is trying to end Byron’s life. Is Kai able to push his task aside in order to save the one he loves? Find out in Emissary.
Emissary is full of twists, turns, and loveable characters with relatable feelings. I could not put this book down. It grabbed me from the beginning. The scenery depicted makes you feel like you are living the story with Kai and Byron.
Full of action, mystery, and romance, Emissary is a must read. It is a great prequel to the Star Crossed Celestials series, or even as its own novel. I cannot wait to read more from this author.

This book pulls on your heartstrings with a cute child and a (cuter?) male love interest. As soon as I read that he could sing, I swooned. I loved this story, even though I haven’t read the other books, I was still invested and might have already added the other installments to my TBR. Very cute romantic grumpy x sunshine, highly recommend for a feel-good read that’ll make you sigh in contentment when you’re done.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is an adorable story about a kid who receives a magical unbirthday present. The illustrations are engaging and the story line keeps you wondering what trick Caspian is going to try next with his gift.

I enjoyed how much the author left the gifts to the imagination- things that may be possible, but haven’t been invented yet, which stretches mine (and any young reader)’s imagination.

From a social emotional stand point, the book offers readers a chance to discuss delayed gratification and disappointment at an age-appropriate level. The story line is realistic with a touch of magic.

The Summer I Went CrazyThe Summer I Went Crazy by Laura Koerber
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

It all starts in high school, the last year of high school to be exact and the unforgettable summer which came along with it. The first thing you need to know is that I liked to party, get drunk, get high and forget the trials and tribulations which went along with a prep school education, summers in Europe, hobnobbing with the elite, a future in an IVY league college and following in your families footsteps, being a high flyer and successful.

One party in particular that summer stands out, well two in all honesty, the first where I got way too wasted and witnessed a rape, albeit at the time, I wasn’t sure that it even was, the second was where I was abandoned by a friend in the middle of nowhere, at night and off my head, but those two parties changed everything and not in the same ways.

They both led me to girls, the first one I wanted to help and protect and the second led me to a girl I fell head over heels in love with, we broke laws, spent time in nature and she taught me why I needed to change my direction in life, it began with a phone call and it ended in a promise, now, the time has come to make another a phone call, a phone call to someone I haven’t spoken to in years and who were close, but now are strangers, but will they answer and listen to what I have to say, only time will tell? This is a story of summer love, transition, responsibility and growth, which is told through the eyes of a teenager whose expectations do not equal reality, but told with a supernatural tint which engages you with the story even more.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Kai is an emissary and this means that he is quite literally an Angel of Death, but instead of a scythe and a cloak, he has black feathered wings and a celestial steel sword, plus the ability to see when it is someone’s time to die, but none of that matters when it is the person you love who died and you who was responsible for it, or at least that is how Kai feels. When he is afforded a chance for redemption, he takes it, he is given the opportunity to rid the mortals of the demons plaguing them, so he takes a chance and goes to work with a Messenger, another who deals out death, but in many ways, is completely the opposite of Kai.

Byron Black is a demon and has fought to survive his whole life, but being the Demonic Martial Arts expert that he is, at least now he can use these skills to do it to support his family at the same time, it has not been an easy road, hiding from those trying to wipe his kind out, but at least for now, he has a roof over his head and his latest winnings can put some food on the table. That is until all hell breaks and his home becomes one of the latest victims of the Messengers feud against demons, he has to run and protect his family again at all costs, so when he gets the chance to give his life for theirs, he does it willingly.

Unbeknownst to either Kai or Byron, they are about to meet in an encounter which will change both their lives forever when Kai save Byron from what he feels will be his demise, but it is not yet his time and Kai will not see another innocent slaughtered of he can help it. As Byron flees, Kai believes that it will be the last time he will see the beautiful Demon, however, fate has other plans and the two meet again under similar circumstances, but will Kai be able to find out why this particular demon is such a high priority target and overcome his own demons in order to save the one he is now fighting for, or will his angelic family rip them part before they have a chance to begin? This is a steamy MM romance with a supernatural element as the battle between angels and demons rages, while love tries to find a way to being secrets out of the dark and turn darkness into light, in this high octane story which will hook you in from the very start and leave you wanting more.

Emissary gripped me from the very first page and never let go. Kai is an angel of death and from the moment we begin learning about him, I couldn’t get enough. He despises demons until he meets Byron. Kai couldn’t believe his eyes when he saw what he thought to be an innocent demon…because those don’t exist in his dark life. Byron has had a hard enough life, so to be spared by death was a miracle all in itself. They find an unusual match in each other, and the chemistry comes to life in this beautiful story. The author did an amazing job weaving suspense, forbidden love, and adventure all into one. I highly recommend it especially if you love MM paranormal romance! I can’t wait to see what this author has in store for us next!

Let me start out by stating that this book contains a trigger warning as it contains and focuses on rape. I have to say that this is a very well written book and it tackles the subject of guilt very well. This book definitely made me feel so many emotions, to the point where I was crying at various points throughout. This is something that I think is a very well written mark. I think it took a good look at how the choices we make can live with us for years past when we make the choice. I definitely recommend this, especially for those who love books that feature growth in their characters!

As a Grey’s Anatomy Fan, I truly had high expectations for this novella. As I do with just about every contemporary romance I read that takes place in the medical field. This one definitely rose to that expectation. In this book we meet Dr. Enstein who wants to use his abilities in plastic surgery to help the world. He wants to help those who are disfigured build their confidence. When Dr. Enstein meets Barbara he gets way more than he was expecting. Their chemistry sizzles for sure and they have a banter between them that is definitely unmatched. I definitely recommend this!

Falling for You (Buckeye Falls Book 2) by Libby Kay – Review by Tori Werkheiser

This is the second book in the Buckeye Falls Series and it was just as good as the first one! After reading the first book I was definitely intrigued by the chemistry between Cece and Evan so I was stoked to find out about this book. This book follows Evan, a few years younger than Cece, try to prove that he is worth dating and not the kid everyone treats him like. This was a nice age gap in the sense that it was not creepy and both partners discussed the way it made them feel…eventually. I think it was about 5 years and he is in his mid 20s so her turning 30 that year was not too much of a gape for it to be gross. Evan was a sweet little golden retriever and Cece was fierce and i loved it. I adored the small town setting and diner vibes. The tight knit community in Buckeye Falls is really charming in this book. I am falling for the entire town. This book is fun and light and falling for these characters was so easy. I liked the setting and the communication that went on between the two. It was pretty realistic i think to how this would play out in real life and I am glad Eric got what he deserved and Dale had his behind handed to him too. Yay for men being put in their place! I hope if there is a third book it is about Natalie.

How To Write A Historical Novel And Love It by TL Clark – Review by Sheri Schrader

How To Write A Historical Novel And Love ItHow To Write A Historical Novel And Love It by T.L. Clark
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

How to Write a Historical Novel and Love It: A Beginner’s Guide to Researching, Writing, and Publishing a Historical Book is a well-rounded how-to book. I have read several novels by this author and always enjoy attention to detail. Here all of the pieces are broken down into easy to understand bits. Clark asks questions the author should’ve thought about before delving too far into writing their novel. The different parts include thinking about what period, location, weather, clothing, who is in power, and more. On top of giving sections to think about before moving too far into the writing process, Clark also gives examples for the writer to think about. This is written in a conversational form and allows one to read quickly. Also, because of the setup, it would be easy to go back and reference specific sections while writing. I thought this is a well-thought out handy book to keep if I ever start to write my historical novel.

Doctor Frank Enstein by CA King is one of 13 new contemporary romance books in the second season of Doctors of Eastport General Series where each book is written by different authors. They are all standalones books but you may see some characters from some of your old favourites from the first season.
Dip your toes into the happenings of the Eastport General Rhode Island where a veritable smorgasbord of HOT new naughty ER Physicians, Surgeons, Specialists, Residents, and patients shenanigans. The characters are passionate about their jobs and fun loving and full of charm.
Doctor Frank Enstein got into his job to make a difference but will he be derailed by one busty woman? Want a story that is sexy and full of desire? A story that is entertaining, flirty, and where sparks fly? Let’s not forget it also comes with a little drama, some steam and fun.
I recommend you settle in for some me time and read this short story to find out what happens.
As I said before think McDreamy and McSteamy from Grey’s Anatomy…… This is one series I intend to devour. I am off to see what the other books have to offer.
