Ale's Fair in Love and War (Love on Tap, #1)Ale’s Fair in Love and War by Sylvie Stewart
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Cash runs a bar and brewery, tries to keep his siblings in line and looks after his mom. For the most part, things are going well – until Hollis moves in with her grooming business next door. These neighbors and business owners love to hate one another – and the pranks are enough to drive each other insane, if their hot chemistry doesn’t first!

I love a good, fun, enemies to lovers story. These two drive each other wild in all sorts of ways. There are fun levels of snark, insane levels of chemistry and a fun, what could be considered realistic storyline. When things end up going too far and Cash is in a bind, Hollis feels obligated to help him since she had a hand in it. The more they spend time together and actually SEE eachother, things progress. Very lovable and interesting characters, more than enough fun and lust to keep you invested and better yet, a series to enjoy! Quick, fun read. Highly recommend.

The 45th Parallel (Antipodes Series Book 6) by T.S. Simons – Review by Jennifer Ramos

/0 Comments/in /by

The 45th Parallel (Antipodes, #6)The 45th Parallel by T.S. Simons
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I was so surprised and thrilled to hear that Simons has continued this series! This story focuses on Seraphine and Caitlin, two of the immune children against the infested waters. In the beginnings of their adulthood and feeling oppressed with how they have been living. As many of the adventures they have grown up hearing about, they are very eager to have one of their own and see what they find. They end up finding another underwater parallel that has been surviving on their own means as they also learn of other struggling communities. Through the emotional upheavals, they learn through this experience and bring them to the point of thinking whether they will be able to go back to their upbringing community or stay within this new one. To best understand the story, I highly recommend reading the previous books in the series and it will be so worth it!

My kids loved this. I don’t have a very good pirate voice, which made reading this to my kids tons of fun. My kids definitely need to learn some patience and maybe this helped them understand some of it. Only time will tell. They enjoyed every minute of reading this, and I think there was lessons to be learned. Highly recommend!

Master Calabrea: Dark Vampire Romance (Masters of the Consulate Book 6)Master Calabrea: Dark Vampire Romance by Sylvia Black
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I can’t believe we are halfway there with book 6 in this epic and explosive and deliciously dark Vampire Romance Masters of the Consulate series. And Master Calabrea what a master he is……. He can put his shoes under my bed any time he likes.
This series just keeps on getting better and better with each book. Masters of the Consulate is one of my absolute favourite epic series. I love the dark tantalising stories that Sylvia writes so well.
The stakes are high in this delectable tale in the harsh and savage underworld. Where traitorous vampires, witches, and shifters want to rid the world of purebloods. Where it is full of suspense and intensity, unbound danger but is also steaming hot when the flames are sparking. Where there is greed and revenge, secret agendas, politics and so much more.

With sexy but vicious vampires, psychics, and other paranormal beings you cannot put this book down. You need to discover this dark sensually wicked world all for yourself.

I can’t wait for book 7. Bring it on.

I highly recommend reading the first book in the series and working your way through. You are going to love them.

This book was a lot of fun and lead to a lot of conversations about bee’s and what they do for us. Those conversations lead to more research and learning about bees. Since I am allergic to bee’s we wont get a chance to make a beehive for our backyard, that this book provided instructions for, but it was great to learn how to do! I love how this author’s books always lead to better conversations for us. I would recommend!

This is the 2nd book in the Forever Our Girl series but this is the first one for me. I didn’t feel like I was missing anything but I do feel the need to go read more from this series.

She runs into a giant snag with her funding for her line and would be homeless if her older step brother didn’t take her in to help with the baby he just found out he had. Charles, along with Alex and Jordan are staying in the house for a month. Stella is someone none of them can resist. And let the spice ensue. I loved this body positive story.

After She Became a LadyAfter She Became a Lady by Wareeze Woodson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

What a great historical romance story! Typically books written in the old english language can be hard to follow sometimes but this one isn’t so over bearing with it.

Laurel convinces her aunt to let her marry Lord Laningham. They wed quickly and head to his estate. Where his twin is quickly against and does nothing to hide it. Laurel is left alone while her husband is away at war and let to defend herself against his sister and her antics.

Those early years of marriage are hard, but Laurel’s is made even harder and with every step forward you see Rhonda kicking her two steps back. The biggest question is will Laurel and Robert be able to survive and will their marriage last?

This book was a quick read but I wish there was more. Some of the story line felt a little empty, like it was missing some of the story. But you imagine yourself on the estate with Laurel as she is going through taking over the house.

Now, this is how you write a prequel. This immediately put me in a chokehold and I need to complete this series. The Spice was next level. The best I have read in a long time if not ever!! I enjoyed the chemistry between these two that seemed so genuine but also the no-name aspect brought a fun mystery side to it and I loved that as well. My jaw was on the floor when I finished this and I immediately pre-ordered the next book. I need more of this ASAP. If you are thinking of reading this, do it. You won’t regret it.

Nite Fire: Exit Strategy Audiobook by C.L. Schneider – Review by Callie Luna

/0 Comments/in /by

Nite Fire: Exit Strategy is an incredible story! This is the first book that I have read/ listened to by C. L. Schneider. From the first word, I was propelled into an incredible action scene and an apocalypse to boot. The action and suspense are present throughout the book. I did not want to stop listening for a minute!

The audiobook quality and the pacing are amazing. Dahlia’s voice is what I expected and her personality shines through. Some of the other male characters’ voices can be a little annoying but overall I thought the performance was great. During some of the intense scenes, the narrator slows down to really provide the needed impact.

Even though there were previous books that I have not read I was able to understand the story and fell in love the with characters. Dahlia is a strong female character lead. The authors’ descriptions of the places and the creatures gave me clear visuals of the world. I love how Dahlias’ shifting is described. I cannot wait to read/ listen to the rest of the series!

Night Hawke (The Hawke Family Second Generation #0.5)Night Hawke by Gwyn McNamee
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Night Hawke is the prequel and the start to The Hawke Family Second Generation Series. I was so excited to see where Gwyn had taken us. It isn’t necessary to read the first generation The Hawke Family Series. It is one of my favourite series and let me tell you that you should start at the beginning. You will definitely not be disappointed even though it is a very, very short read. Just a teasing taste of what’s to come.
Gwyn has never let me down and always produces page turners and Night Hawke is just as amazing as the others. It is intricately woven and are very well plotted out. The characters are well developed and hard not to fall in love with. The story is told in different POV’s letting you have more of an insight into these complex people.
This Mafia romance tale has plenty to offer any reader, with suspense and tension, oozing chemistry and passion, action, adventure and much, much more.
He’s a billionaire heir attorney and she is running from her life. Just one sexy and passion filled night. Or is it?
No spoilers here you need to grab a copy and find out what happens for yourself because it is that good.
Now I just have to wait anxiously for the next instalment.

I couldn’t ask for more in a romance book than including two of my favorite things. This book is set in my most favorite place to go to on holiday and also it’s a romance I really couldn’t ask for anything else. To make it even more it is a historical romance which is one of my top favorite genres. I like how the author is able to bring the back story to add to the present of the characters. I was really drawn into the drama of the book and hooked. I really didn’t want to put it down. The author is able to bring the characters to life and draw the reader into the adventure. I really felt as though I was right there in the midst of the drama and adventure as it unfolds. The author draws out the story and grabs you and I cannot wait to read more from this author.

What a good dark, mysterious, crime and passion filled story!

Adrianna had come to work for the Larussio family under seemingly false pretenses. Keeping secrets of her own until a horrific incident occurred that required her to be closer than ever to the family.

Mafia secrets come out and the path of Salvatore changed the minute he met Adrianna. When her own secrets come out he is faced with choices, on top of the decisions he’s making for the family already.

This book did not disappoint in the anticipation of what was going to happen next. A few twists and that was just what was needed to keep you guessing! I’ve read a few other books by this author and yet again not a disappointment in this story.
