Whispered Surrender (Sinful Duets Book 1) by Via Mari – Review by Hannah Porter

December 28, 2023/0 Comments/in Reviews /by Hannah porter

Whispered Surrender by Via Mari
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This author Via Mari is fastly becoming one of my favorite go to authors to read. From the book I just finished Rule:Brutal Kings to the awesome Sicilian Gods series and more. They are all super good and well written , making you wanna dive in and not come up for air until you’re done and ready for the next book. So you know I just had to pick up this one. Whispered Surrender is the first book in the Sinful Duets books, it has two books in it The Wayward and Undercover. This duet got me caught hooked line and sinker. They follow Jay and Sasha: and Matt and Marenah. The two books intertwined with the lead females being twin sisters. Both stories were, omggggg, amazing and you’ll be glad that you get the books in one package so you won’t have to wait to read the second one. I can’t wait to read more book duets.

The Magic Man by Cat Treadgold
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The Magic Man is book 3 of this Olympic Peninsula series. It follows the O’Connell siblings David, Maddie and the love triangle between them and Kilo. I was super duper excited to read this one after finishing the last two. This whole series is so well written and so well described that it makes me wanna go there for a visit 😂 I was happy Maddie ended up with who I wanted ( you’ll have to read to see lmao) . This can also be read as a standalone just like the rest but as always I highly suggest reading the whole series because they are awesome sauce. I can’t wait for more from this author

The Alien & the Crime Boss by Naomi Valkyrie

This is not my first time reading a book by Naomi Valkyrie, it’s always a pleasure picking up one of her books. This book is a M/M alien mafia romance tale following Kasper and Leilphun. Filled with danger, action, adventure and tension both regular and spicy lol . Also makes an appearance in the anthology Aliens on Earth which is a limited-edition 12 book romance collection ( which you should also pick up so many goood books including this one 🥰). She has created a great world and such well developed characters. I look forward to seeing more work from this author. 🥰

Jade: Hidden Scars: A Forbidden Age-Gap Romance (Book 1) by A. Akinosho – Review by Hannah Porter

December 26, 2023/0 Comments/in Reviews /by Hannah porter

Hidden Scars by A. Akinosho
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Reading Jade (Hidden Scars) by A. Akinosho (who im reading for the first time) I enjoyed it. The age gap ages kinda threw me at first being 16 and 26 but it turned out okay. Other than that it was good, it’s filled with drama,insecurities, healing, hope and jealousy from outside sources trying to keep them apart. It was a decent size read for me, about 350 pages. Though I read it in one day because I didn’t want to put it down at all, even though it put me through an emotional rollercoaster ride. I’m already about to go read the second one right now tbh 😂 i already got it from kindle unlimited. I can’t wait to read it, especially with the cliffhanger. I need to know what happens. I hope the next ones doesn’t also lmao 😣 😂 I need more from this awesome author.

The Befallen by Cambria Williams
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Picking Up The Befallen by Cambria Williams, I was unsure of what to expect. Reading the book’s details I saw that it was a fantasy knight style book( which is not my usual go to fantasy read but Omgggggg, I’m soooo happy I gave it a go. It was good, really Imaginative. This book sends you on an incredible journey with some amazing characters. It has a slow start but really picks up in the second half but even when slow, you will be intrigued to keep going. I know I was! 🥰 it also have some good action scenes. I really cannot wait for more from this author in the near future.

So after reading the second one, I Immediately wanted to read this one, I couldn’t wait. Although I think the second one is my favorite of the series so far.

Festive Fates: 11 Spirited Holiday Tales by Natalie Palma
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

After a couple days, I finally Finished all the stories in this anthology.
It’s Hard to pick a favorite buttttt, I think Searching for Thanksgiving by S.E Smith might be the one. I’m going to have to go read the Dragonlings of Valdier series. So I can see more of these characters. The second Choice would be 🤔 Wicked Beginnings by Stephanie Harrell.but truthfully i think there is something for everyone. I would highly recommend reading this mix of books. It won’t disappoint. You will definitely find an author you’ll like and will want to read more of their books. 🥰

Finding the End Zone (Game Time Series) by Tam DeRudder Jackson – Review by Hannah Porter

December 11, 2023/0 Comments/in Reviews /by Hannah porter

Finding the End Zone by Tam DeRudder Jackson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I have read multiple stories by this author Tam Derudder Jackson. Her writing style is amazing. Always know exactly what to write to draw you in and keep you there, and to keep you wanting more. I’m loving it. The more I read the more Tam DeRudder Jackson becomes a favorite author. Finding The End Zone follows Callahan and Jamaica’s sizzling Romance. Complete opposite but totally perfect for each other even if Jamaica didnt think so at first. She soon finds out that looks (and reputation) can be deceiving. I loved this couple. The author makes them seem really realistic, with their struggles, strong emotions and the quick batter between the two. I highly recommend reading. I 100% look forward to reading more by this author! 😀

Slay It With a Diamond by Rob Bates
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Slay It With a Diamond by Rob Bates is the third book of the Diamond District Mystery Series. This is my first time reading a story by this author. This was a very intriguing read for me. After reading the synopsis I just had to give it a try, like i had to find out of if the diamond was really cursed of if it was just a series of coincidences that led them to believe it was( i’m not gonna spoil it for you lol you gotta read it 😂). I gotta say I really enjoyed it so much so I’m gonna go back to read the previous ones. This murder mystery with the journalist that doesn’t stop no matter what, will give such an intense ride with so many twists and turns that you won’t see coming. I highly recommend you read this and I look forward to reading the rest 🥰

Wicked Ends by Isla Vaughn
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Noooo!!! What am I gonna do now that this amazing series has ended 😭😭😭 it’s sooo bittersweet. I couldn’t wait to read it but I didn’t want it to be finished. Geez this whole series has been an emotional Rollercoaster, and this one was no different. Shoot I think this one was crazier than the previous book. It really hit me in the feels 🥲😭. This author has built such an amazing world with such dark complex character, that i think i’m having a book hangover🤣.I gotta find another book to recover. The suspense in this gave me anxiety lol but getting to their HEA was everything or was it. You’ll have to read it so you can see what I’m talking about and while you’re at it, if you somehow starting on this one HIGHLY recommend that you go read all of them. By the way, I absolutely love the epilogue.

Isla Vaughn i will gladly offer my kingdom for a spin off 😏maybe 🤣 please lmao

I look forward to enjoying more of this Author’s work.
