Fate, Frankincense & FuneralsFate, Frankincense & Funerals by Naomi Valkyrie
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This book was a very unique read about fated mates and the path that they had to take to be together. What a wonderful story of a woman’s passing, and the final act of kindness that she was able to bring about as her dying wish. The fact that this story contains jackals, vultures, and other shapeshifters was so cool, I really enjoyed reading this short story. This had such a great moral to the story that no matter how different people may be, what truly matters is that we stand up for what we believe in, be a part of the change for good, and follow our hearts wherever they may lead us. If you like to read paranormal romances, I highly recommend reading this short story by the amazing Naomi Valkyrie. She never disappoints with her unique style of writing intriguing stories that interest you right up to the last page. Happy reading my friends, until next time!

Unmasking a Cowgirl (Match Made in Montana Series) by Rachelle Paige Campbell – Review by Brandy Rymer

Unmasking A Cowgirl (Match Made in Montana Book 3)Unmasking A Cowgirl by Rachelle Paige Campbell
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is the third book in the Match Made in Montana series. It is a wonderful romance series based in a small-town country setting that is so beautifully portrayed. Each of our main character’s stories continues throughout each of the books, as well as focusing on a new set of couples. Each of the new couples needs to work through whatever situation is causing contention between the two before finding they have such a deep connection and shows how true love knows no bounds. What a great series this is, so old-fashioned in the morals of the people, it’s such a refreshing, feel-good read. I hope that you all enjoy reading this series as much as I did, I cannot wait to read more from Rachelle Paige Campbell, who has such a magical writing style that combines old-fashioned beliefs with romance that gives you hope for a brighter future. Happy book hunting my friends, until next time!

Miss Georgiana Darcy’s Quest For Love: A Pride And Prejudice Variation Novelette (Love Through The Ages; stand-alone historical books by TL Clark)Miss Georgiana Darcy’s Quest For Love: A Pride And Prejudice Variation Novelette by T.L. Clark
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I am a huge fan of Pride and Prejudice, and I love reading variation books, especially when they follow along with the original storyline. In this book, we get to follow Miss Georgiana as she seeks to find a potential mate so she may start her own family. What a wonderful short read this was. If you are a fan of the original characters then you will want to read this book, because we get to read about how many of the past characters are doing and learn of their fates. T. L. Clark did a great job matching the writing style and being true to the period from the setting to the speaking patterns of the character. I highly recommend this book to anyone looking for a short and sweet romance.

My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Lapidus By Matthew Runals is a good book for dystopian readers it also has action scenes. It takes place around war and shows how the world can be tragic. The school has many secrets and some fantasy scenes while it teaches them how they are fighting for their country. The kids also have to fight monsters, and they are in a war. This book is a great read for children and adults. It is also for people who like dystopian and fantasy stories.

My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Miss Georgiana Darcy’s Quest for Love by T.L. Clark is a good book for people who love old-fashioned romance, Slow Reads, and people who like the original story Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austin. This book was a good short story, and it didn’t take that long to read. The book also has an extra that is for the people who love steamy romance, and it is optional to read it. If you are a fan of the Darcy family, then this book is for you. This book can also be read as a standalone novel, but I do recommend the original. I hope you guys enjoy this Short Story.

Midnight Falls by John Evans – Review by Brandy Rymer

Midnight FallsMidnight Falls by John (ronin) Evans
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This was one of the most intense books I have read in quite a while. It had me on the edge of my seat and cringing in bed at night, I had no clue what could happen next. The setting primarily takes place in one of those spooky old towns where everyone knows everyone else, and if you are an outsider, you are not welcome. The neighbors are all real creepy like they are all out to drive out any who are not a part of some big secret that only those from town know. The things that happened to our main character, Josh, had me looking over my shoulder at night, I was so jumpy at every little noise. I love finding a book that can have such an intense powerful reading experience. John Evans did an amazing job in writing Midnight Falls; I must say I cannot wait to read more of his books. I hope if you are into intense thrillers or horrors then you will give this book a read, I don’t think you’ll be disappointed if you do. Happy book hunting my friends, I’m on to my next search for another great read!

Driving into the NightDriving into the Night by Amanda Kay
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Driving into the Night by Amanda Kay is a short read. This book is a great fantasy and is an original tale about 2 guys. One is a hunter and the other is a demon angel that needs to be killed. I love how the romance doesn’t overlap the story but also ties into it. I love how Amanda Kay wrote the characters and how likable they are. Off the bat, you can tell who the villain is. I also love how the story completes itself in 1 book. This book is for people who love fast-paced fantasy books with romance.

Driving into the NightDriving into the Night by Amanda Kay
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

What a great M/M fantasy romance that was completely original. I love the angle that Amanda Kay took in developing this awesome storyline around good versus evil and having the ring be the protagonist in the story. The ring represents the world’s evil and tries to influence the hunter to kill the demon angel despite the attraction they feel for one another. This made for a great fantasy romance as we see our two main characters fight against all that they have been taught as their responsibility and follow along as they choose where their destinies will take them. This book was not a long read, but every page will have you on edge rooting for a happily ever after that may or may not be possible. You won’t want to miss this fast-paced adventure as the two main characters work against time to seek out the answers they need…will the past be able to help them save their future? Find out by reading Driving into the Night by the amazing author Amanda Kay who has a skill like no other! Until next time my friends, I’m off to find another great read!

Mr. Lucky (Trentbridge Crime Series Book 1) by Lee Wood – Review by Brandy Rymer

Mr Lucky (Trentbridge Tales #1)Mr Lucky by Lee Wood
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Mr. Lucky is a realistic tale of a man’s journey through life as he suffers highs, and lows, and works to give back to those who made his life a little easier after he hit his lowest point. This book has everything you could want in a crime thriller. From drug crime bosses, the Russian mob, detectives, and a winning lottery ticket. Lee Wood uses an excellent format of writing this book through multiple character’s points of view, allowing the reader to have a very diverse perspective. It is amazing how you get to follow James’ life from the view of multiple characters, he is someone that you will feel invested in, and hope that he can persevere through everything that keeps happening to him. Will James be able to survive all the hardships, or will he give in to the depression that is weighing heavily upon him? I was so excited to see that this is a book series, where we get to continue to follow the lives of the other characters that we’ve met. Stay tuned for more reviews to come as I continue the Trentbridge Tale series. Until next time my friends, happy reading!

Mr Lucky (Trentbridge Tales #1)Mr Lucky by Lee Wood
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This book is a great page-turner. The book switches between characters in every chapter and focuses on the main character James. I loved how the book was action, and you got to know the emotions the characters felt. James is very lucky but also not very lucky because someone is after him due to a lottery ticket. Dave is also a person who tries to win the lottery but doesn’t get lucky. Dave is also a drug dealer. The book is also about how one person could be so lucky and win at life but can also come back to hurt them. I recommend this book to people who like other points of view and one huge plot line with many plot twists. Who will win? Find out in Mr. Lucky by Lee Wood.

Forbiddenly Yours (Titans of Chicago Series) by Anise Storm – Review by Brandy Rymer

Forbiddenly Yours (Titans of Chicago Book 2)Forbiddenly Yours by Anise Storm
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Anise Storm has done it again with this second book in the Titans of Chicago series! Not only does she bring the heat of romance, but she also has intrigue and suspense to accompany the plot. I love that she takes the time to develop the characters into such realistic, well-rounded people and puts them into situations that could happen in reality. The descriptions of college life on campus, and the interactions between fellow college students and the teachers are spot on. This book will grab your attention the moment the two main characters meet on a vacation retreat. I love that this series doesn’t just focus on the lead male roles of the Titans, but it showcases how strong the women are in the family as well. This book has so many crazy surprises that will have you gritting your teeth as you progress through the story. Read on to find out if Callum and Nicole can make their student/teacher romance work or if they are doomed to fail right from the start. Happy reading everyone, until next time my friends! I’m on the hunt to find my next great read!

The Human Mating Site, Complete Series : A Steamy, Dating Humour RomanceThe Human Mating Site, Complete Series : A Steamy, Dating Humour Romance by B.L. Wilde
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Warning, this book is definitely not for young readers. There are a lot of adult content and triggers that may be uncomfortable for some readers. This book is an amazing experience of what it must be like to enter the dating world post-divorce. B. L. Wilde is such an amazing author. She has spun a tale so realistic, that you feel as if you are watching Bella navigate the dating world. This book follows Bella through her journey of rebuilding herself after living with self-doubt and low self-esteem developed during her marriage to Joel, her soon-to-be ex-husband who was caught cheating on her. As Bella enters the world of online dating, as encouraged by her best friends, she realizes that not all are who they seem. This poor woman experiences highs and lows as she regains confidence in herself that she is a beautiful woman inside and out and deserves to be treated as such. I highly recommend reading this book if you are looking for a romance that has some great dating humor but also covers the dark side of dating as well. This book was so good, that I want to go back and re-read it again and keep the ending in mind as I follow along with Bella’s dating experiences. There is so much I hadn’t realized until the very end when Bella finally finds her “almost perfect” Mr. Right. Happy reading everyone, until next time!

Made to Love Her: Romantic Suspense Novella (Moore Family Saga)Made to Love Her: Romantic Suspense Novella by Michele Sims
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Made to Love Her was a short read, but let me tell you, Michele Sims packed every page full of suspense and thrills! I could not put the book down from the very first page, it starts right out with what seems to be a normal day for a happy couple, but boy were they wrong. This makes me fear elevators more than ever, oh my goodness it was scary hearing their tale. I have not read any of the Moore Family Saga books, but after reading this suspense novella, I want more of Cade and Lecia’s story! I am a huge fan after reading this book, the situations are so real and thrilling to read. If you want a book that will have you on the edge of your seat, with a little bit of spicy romance between husband and wife, then this is a great book to delve into. Happy reading everyone, until next time!
