This book has it all. It has humor, steamy scenes, character growth, and a happy ending. The author takes her characters on a journey in this series. I read all of the books leading up to this one before starting this one. I noticed that all of the authors characters go on a journey. The journey always ends up with a trip to hell. In this book, there are a few trips to hell for the characters. The main characters in this book are trying to recover from their time in hell. It is a laugh out loud book that takes you through the ores of the characters. It is a day read and you won’t want to stop until you are finished. It is a HUGE page turner. If you haven’t read the other books in the series, it is not necessary to do but will help you understand the secondary characters in the book. . I was able to completely immerse myself in the book because of the way the author writes. The descriptive writing and amazing dialogue keeps you wanting to the turn the pages. It makes you want to keep going. Add in the humor and the steamy love scenes and this book has become a contender in my top 20 books of 2021. This is a must read if you just want to clear your mind and take an escape into the crazy supernatural realm.

The Heart of a Hussar is book 1 in the Winged Warrior Series. The story centers around a young soldier named Jacek Dabrowski in 1610 Muscovy. Twenty-two-year-old Jacek has recently been promoted to Lieutenant of his cavalry, and he is hoping his new position will help him to secure the land he desires. In his journeys Jacek stumbles onto two young orphans, 15-year-old Oliwia and her young brother, and he decides to rescue them. His rescue of the two orphans sets off a chain of events that will forever change the course of Jacek’s life.
I loved this historical fiction book and became immersed in the era so completely that I felt as though I was right there with the characters. The author clearly did a lot of research about that era, and it shows in the details of her writing. The characters of both Jacek and Oliwia were wonderful and there were so many facets to who they were and their relationship with one another. I became immersed in their story and enjoyed watching them grow as characters through all the trials and tribulations that they were subjected to.
I have been researching my family tree and have managed to trace many of my ancestors back to the 1600’s so this book made me feel as though I was in that era. It helped me better understand that time and gave me a sense of what some of my ancestors’ lives may have been like and how they may have possibly lived. The historical data included in the end of the book will be a valuable tool in my farther research. Thank you so much for including it! I highly recommend this book for anyone interested in historical fiction!

Grace is a down on her luck former state prosecutor who finds herself fresh out of jail, in recovery, and just trying to get by. She finds herself on the opposite side of justice now defending criminals instead of prosecuting them. When the case that could put her back on top “seemingly” falls into her lap. This book was a non-stop read through. I could not put it down, and for someone who doesn’t delve into this specific genre, that’s saying something! I enjoyed everything about this book. The story. The characters, and the twists! I can’t wait to read more about Grace Locke.

Grace Locke is a down on her luck prosecutor and disabled army veteran who is very close to losing her law licence. Fresh out of jail, she is now living in a run-down motel room and eating ramen noodles. As much as she appreciates the second chance she is given, Grace is not at all happy that she is now forced to defend the types of criminals that she used to love sending to jail. As if that was not bad enough, Grace finds herself caught up in the dark world of drugs and addiction, the very thing that landed her in jail. One of the criminals Grace is forced to defend should be a slam dunk because, in Grace’s eyes, the teen is clearly guilty.
Grace soon makes the startling discovery that her client may be innocent, leading her to start digging for the truth. The more she digs the more Grace realizes that the dead guy was involved heavily in the criminal underworld. She is now racing against the clock to find the real killer and prove her client’s innocence.
States of Grace was fast paced and hard to put down from the first page. Grace’s character is real, raw, gritty, and believable as she struggles to remain sober while also coping with her disability. This legal thriller was full of twists and turns which lead up to a surprise ending. I won’t spoil the ending; you will have to read this book yourself to find out.

At the tender age of five years old Claire Sanchez watched in horror as her mom was brutally killed in front of her. Cowering in the bushes, young Claire watches helplessly as a figure dressed in black ends her mom’s life suddenly leaving Claire an orphan. Twenty years later Claire, is now working at the Ecclesia Dei Psychiatric Hospital as a licensed natural health therapist with a background in mental health. Claire is reluctant to follow in her mom’s footsteps as a medicine woman, preferring to refer to herself as a natural health therapist. Still haunted by the memories of that horrific night, Claire is now at the age where she is seeking answers for what happened to her mom all those years ago. As Claire delves deeper, she starts unravelling the mysteries of her past and is confronted by the true face of evil.
The dark and evil presence that took her mom’s life all those years ago is disguised in the form of the evil Archbishop Anarch. Archbishop Anarch has a thirst for power and will stop at nothing to get it. He has been lurking in the shadows waiting for the right moment to end Claire’s life as viciously as he ended her mother’s life twenty years prior. Now at the same age as her mom was when her life was taken, Claire is forced to confront the demons of her past to save her own life. Now Claire is forced to battle against the dark forces of evil and religion. Will Claire be able to face the demons of her past and gain the strength she needs to battle the forces of evil? Or will evil win?
The Unholy is a book that was impossible to put down and fast paced from the first page. There are many facets of this book as the author takes the reader on an intense ride into the darkest parts of religion. This book takes us into the world of shapeshifting, magic, and the ruthless hunt for power. The characters are ones you either love or hate, as in the cases of Claire and Archbishop Anarch. Claire is easily relatable, and one can quickly get drawn to how warm, genuine, and kind she is. You can’t help but admire her strength and hope for the best for her. Archbishop Anarch, on the other hand, is someone you instantly loathe and despise with every fiber of your being. You can’t help but hope that someone puts a stop to him and his reign of terror. This book was an intense read and did not disappoint!

Claire witnessed her mother’s death at the age of 5. her mother was a medicine woman which Claire Inherits but rejected it and clings to being a natural healer. but increasing visions and obvious medicine woman supernatural happenings are increasing with her everyday including violent dreams and visions.
Claire finds herself back in the community where it all happened as the director of psychiatric care. however all is not what it seems
the clinic is funded by dirty money extorted from wealthy religious zealots who are run much like a cult by the evil arch bishop…. the arch bishop who does not like the power that Claire has simmering just under the surface.
Claire starts asking questions when tragedy strikes and you dive head long into good versus evil struggle veiled in religion.shes threatened, stalked and it gets worse but that would be a spoiler so I’ll let you find out!
this was a good book. I wished the ending had as much care as the character building did in the beginning it felt a little rushed but overall this book was a great look into Indian folklore and religious structure and is worth the read

This is the story of three young women who find themselves in a maternity home during the late 1960s. Their unique experiences bind them for life. Sandy a runaway turned exotic dancer who falls in love with a married mobster. Becca, a white college student whose parents disapprove of her first love, a black man. Faith, who is raped by the employee of her famous Pastor father. The story follows the three women from the moment their children are conceived to the surrender of those children for adoption. Then on to where their lives continue to lead after. We also get to see where the lives of their children go as well. The book is a multiple POV and reads really easily and fluidly.

This book is completely different from what I normally read. Yes there is romance which is right up my alley but it seemed more of a mystery to me. The suspense is there but the focus seems to be on finding the person who did these acts. It is also about self discovery after loss. The characters in this book are great and have an amazing character development throughout the book. The story line is amazing and it will keep you turning the pages in order to figure out who did what and if they will actually be able to catch the person who did these things. The reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 is because even though there is a love story in the book it seems to be more about the mystery/thrill of the story, I highly recommend reading this is suspense/mystery/thrill with a side of romance is your thing.

Cora Lee Schuster is setting out on a cross country journey by train to meet her soon to be new husband. After both of her parents passed away, Cora Lee felt that she didn’t have much of a chance of a future or much in the way of prospects. When she stumbles onto a mail order bride advertisement, she figures that is her chance at a bright future. Cora Lee starts corresponding back and forth with her future husband, Jude Coleman, and then sets out by train to meet him and his family in the new town of Holiday, Oregon.
When Cora Lee arrives, her soon-to-be husband is nowhere to be found. The location of Jude is unknown, and nobody seems to want to approach the subject of where he is or what he is up to. Despite that, the Coleman’s welcome Cora Lee with open arms and she instantly feels like she’s part of the family. The more time Cora Lee spends on the ranch with the Coleman’s the more she feels like she is truly at home. This is a mutual feeling and the Coleman’s feel the same way about Cora Lee.
What Cora Lee is not anticipating happening is falling for Jude’s brother Jace. Now Cora Lee is conflicted as her feelings for Jace grows but she feels an obligation to follow through with her marriage to his brother Jude. Likewise, Jace did not expect to fall for his brother’s intended bride. Although he chooses not to say anything, he knows that Jude would not be good to Cora Lee and would not treat her right. Yet at the same time, Jace is not ready to be married. He finds himself equally conflicted as he is developing feelings for Cora Lee but does not want to admit them.
The author has done an amazing job with this period piece set in the late 1800s. She clearly did a lot of research as there is a great attention to detail throughout her writing. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book and instantly loved the character of Cora Lee. She is the epitome of the down home, honest, sweet, girl next door. I felt like I was right there with her in the kitchen baking up the homemade bread and other sweet treats. I equally loved the character of Jace and loved the fact that he was a train engineer. He is the epitome of the hard-working, down to earth, genuine, and honest man that I think every woman dreams about. After reading about a typical day running a train, I have a whole new appreciation of just how much hard work it went into running a train back in the 1800s. I now realize just how dangerous the work was and how many people it required to run trains back then. I found myself swept up in Cora Lee and Jace’s love story wondering what was going to become of the two of them. Would they ever admit their feelings for each other? Would Cora Lee marry Jude? Or would she end up with Jace?
I have always been intrigued by the idea of living a simpler life and often wondered what it would be like living back in the time that this book was written in. While reading this book I felt like I got to experience that first hand with the characters of Cora Lee and the Coleman family. Every scene is described with so much detail and the scenes are so vivid that you feel as though you were in the room with the characters watching them interact with one another. I found myself feeling as though I was part of the Coleman family living on the Elk Creek Ranch. The family had such a sense of bonding and true love for one another. It made my heart all warm and fuzzy. I highly recommend this book and can’t wait for book number two in the series, Holiday Heart.
As a wonderful bonus, the author has included a recipe as a special surprise at the end of the book. It is one of the baked goodies Cora Lee makes in the book. I am anxious to try it and will be doing so very soon. I love that the author included this as a special little surprise along with her write up about the story, and her inspiration for it. I thought that these were both amazing little personal touches that gave a bit of insight into the author.
Absolutely loved this book! Thank you Shanna Hatfield!

Rowan thought that she was invisible to the dangers outside her clan. When her risk-taking lands her on the wrong side of the tunnel, how will she and her cousin make it out alive? Rowan is a spunky, firecracker who does not really fit the traditional idea of how a princess should behave. When Rowan ends up at the mercy of Lord Theodore she never could imagine the outcome. When her risky behavior lands her in hot water it’s up to the clan leaders to decide her fate but her mouth will be the final sward in her coffin. I fell in love with this book from the very first page. The author’s ability to captivate their audience and make it feel like you are right there next to Princess Rowan and Lord Theodore. This book ended with such a cliffhanger that I can’t wait to read the next book in the series.

Mahle and Elle Madison – Review by ASHLEY LAPE
This is the first-ever book I have picked up by this author but she did such an amazing job hooking me in from the first page. I felt like she was writing this book about me LOL. I was able to relate so much to Amber and her displeasure at Christmas time. There are so many details that the author used that I felt like I was reading about my own life. Amber, living in a small river town in the Hudson Valley of New York. I grew up and still live in a small river town in the Hudson Valley region of New York. The author just did an amazing job at being relatable to all the characters. Amber is a Christmas season Grinch, who was abandoned by her parents. At the age of 18, she traveled through New York and settled in Cold Creek working in a pub. When the owner is set to retire, he sells the pub to Amber at a price she can’t turn down. After many years of being single Amber is finally accepting her single status when Giovanni enters the small town. The grandson of the beloved baker who is known as Mama to most of the town, there is an instant attraction between Amber and Gio. could this be the year Amber starts falling in love with Christmas? This is definitely a must-read book!!

In the prequel to this book, Red’s Peril: Part 1, we were introduced to the characters of Red and Cheryl. They had met completely by chance on one of Red’s stops along his journey to finding himself. Cheryl was a waitress in a diner that Red stopped at to have a bite to eat and the two of them felt an immediate attraction to each other. Acting on impulse, Cheryl left everything behind to ride off into the proverbial sunset with Red on his motorbike. When it wasn’t everything that she had hoped it to be, Cheryl became spooked and cut their journey short.
Neither saw the other again until by pure chance they ran into each other in Vegas. Even though 15 years had passed neither had stopped thinking about the other and wondering what could have been. Both Red and Cheryl have attempted to move on with their lives over the years but have regrets for leaving things the way that they did all those years ago. With no way of contacting each other through the years they had no idea of what could have been or if things could have worked between them.
Now that Red has popped back into Cheryl’s life, he’s not the man she was expecting. He’s now president of a Satan Devil’s MC and she knows that isn’t the life that she wants. She’s always been an upstanding citizen and never broken the rules and has no intention of starting now. The problem is that they have both lived with regrets for the past 15 years over what could have been. Cheryl deeply regrets the decision that she made about walking away and wonders if there’s any way that they can be together. Cheryl must decide If it’s worth it or if she should just give up all hope of him being the man that she wants him to be and just move on.
I fell in love with Red in the first book and loved everything that he stood for. Most would not find a redhead sexy but somehow Red was not only desirable but also a nice guy that would protect those that he loved at all costs. The first book left us on a cliffhanger as we wondered what was going to become of Red and Cheryl. Part 2 picked up right where the first book left off and immediately drew you back into the storyline.
I have loved everything that I have read by this author, and she never fails to disappoint. The characters are well-rounded, and you instantly fall in love with them. In book one we learned that neither Red, nor Cheryl, were perfect or flawless which makes them more believable as characters. In this book we are also introduced to Zeke who is a non-binary character. I fell in love with their character and admired their strength. The storyline is amazing and leaves you wanting to read right to the very end. This book is a must read!

Neve Keane is anxious to return to her job as Psychotherapist at the hospital after being stabbed by a patient. After weeks off work for healing and recovery both mentally and physically, she feels that she’s ready to return to work. She is unprepared when instead of a quiet office, she gets mobbed by a group of people on her first day back. She stands helpless in the hallway as they surround her chanting her name and telling her that they need her to help them stop the Apocalypse. After her recent stabbing, Neve is rattled by this turn of events and not sure how to react. She is still suffering from the side effects of the stabbing and the reaction from this group of people has her reliving the memory of her attack. She’s visibly shaken but does not want to lead on that she is frightened because her coworkers might feel that she is not ready to return to work and may try to make her go home. She does not want to go back home and finds it better to be at work where she can hopefully keep her mind busy and not be so bored.
As it turns out, the leader of the crowd turns out to be one of Neve’s patients, so she is familiar with him. He is also a patient of her friend and co-worker Con. Neither Con nor Neve have seen a violent side to the patient, and both have a good rapport with him. Neve feels it necessary to hear her patient out to get a better understanding of the situation at hand and work towards a possible solution. After explaining his visions to her, Neve agrees to help him against her better judgment. After she hears what he has to say she can’t deny that there must be something more to it. If nothing else, she intends to just find out one way or the other. What Neve does not expect to happen is to find a secret plot that involves government officials that goes all the way up to the White House. Now Neve and Con are fighting for their lives as they attempt to stop the end of the world from happening.
This book was very well written and had a storyline that kept me reading to find out what happened next. It moved at a good pace and had a story that involved crime, corruption, evil and a bit of romance all in one. I was curious how far up the chain things went and who all was involved. Was there anyone Neve and Con could trust? Would anyone believe them when they told them what deadly secrets and sinister plots they had uncovered? Would Neve and Con would be successful or would evil win out in the end?

As someone that was looking for a little bit of more magic in my daily life, I thought that this book was a must read. I was not disappointed with the insight and advice the author gives throughout the book. The book is full of practical advice on how to incorporate magic into your everyday living by doing small things. She explains to us that there is magic in the everyday things that we might overlook and tells us to seek joy and experience magic in the things that we might otherwise take for granted and consider boring. She teaches us how to connect with ourselves, practice self-care and live a life of joy. As the author says after all, true magic is in the everyday. And yes, it truly is.
I loved reading this book and how the author laid things out in such a simplistic manner. It was very easy to read and very well laid out. It was a nice reminder to not take life for granted and to just find joy in the moment. We all need to slow down and experience joy in the little things that we do, savor the moment and live life. I found it was also helpful to learn about other methods of self-care that were a little bit different than the typical ones that you hear about all the time like lighting scented candles or having a relaxing hot bath. I will be taking this advice to heart and practicing magic in the moments that each day brings. This is a must read for anyone that’s just looking for a way to slow down and bring joy back into their lives.

When Elgin Huddleston left Willowbrook fifteen years ago he never had any intention of returning. When one of his DEA missions went wrong Hud has no choice but to go “home.” He should have gone to see his grandmother before she passed away but he could not bear to see the disappointment in her eyes. Mary Beth Winters needed a fresh new start after her heart was broken. So she packs up her life, locks up her Domme/sub toys, and starts over in Willowbrook right across the street from Hud’s childhood home. When Mary Beth thinks life is finally settling down, bad boy Elgin returns to town. The two get off on the wrong foot but could Mary Beth help Elgin let go of the demons that trouble him? Mary Beth has a hunch that she will need to open that chest that she locked up five years ago when she moved into Willowbrook. I love how the author took the time to build the relationship between Elgin and Mary Beth. I also love the adult content of this book. This is a must-read if you love streamy page-turners.

This book has all the feels. It has the steam, business to lovers, childhood friends reunited, nosey family, and most of all it has character development. This book starts out steamy and it continues throughout the book. If you aren’t one for really hot scenes then this book is not for you. If you love some steam in your books, then welcome friend!!! This book is for you. The main characters were childhood friends and lost touch until literally running into each other at the hospital. They each have their reasons for joining into a contractual marriage but it isn’t long before they realize they are meant for each other. However, there are some huge obstacles for them to overcome in order to have a happily ever after. “Can they do it?,” is the question that makes you keep turning the pages and not stop reading until you have finished the book. There is just the right amount of turmoil with character growth, that you will want to keep reading even when the book ends. I can’t wait for the second book in this series.

My only complaint about this book is that……. it wasn’t long enough!! I can not wait to read part two!!! This is not your typical Cinderella book. This retelling is so different and fun and interesting and catching! It sucked me in!! I read it so fast that I was upset there wasn’t more for me to read right away. LOL. The Prince and his husband are searching for a woman to help bring an heir to their family and the realm. So what better way then to throw a huge ball and meet all the ladies in the kingdom right? Well let’s just say, things never goes as planned…. Enter in Ashling, who was brought up to fear the dark creatures beyond the arc, which boarder the house her stepmother, her stepsisters, and herself live in. Can she fight these beasts her father warned her about, before disappearing past the arc? Will she take her glass slippers to the ball or will the beasts tear her apart before she can even make it?

Scarlet princess Wow, this is a book full of surprises, we all know that enemy to lover stories are always GOOD, but I really didn’t expect it. I don’t want to spoil anything, but trust me when I tell you that you should read this book. First of all, the characters will make you melt, secondly the whole journey that you have to go through. WELL is simply incredible, and it is also everything you need in a book, it has romance, humor, adventure and a lot of action. who does not want to stop. read. I literally finish all the weight loss in two nights (because I work during the day, but I think I should finish it in one day).

Mahle and Elle Madison – Review by Diana Balderas
Murder Among Friends is an incredibly entertaining romantic mystery. Main character Cammy is incredibly smart and seems to notice every little detail. All of the character development was beautifully written and it seems each character grew as the story went on. Just when I thought it was predictable, Linda Burson (author) throws in plot twist after plot twist. I felt that the character’s names in the dialogue was overused, but that is probably because it is written in third person-present tense. It is hard to write in that tense and be able to keep up with characters if you don’t use names. That is the only reason I gave it four stars. I definitely recommend this book.

A must read! I am normally not a fan of sci-fi fantasy novels, but Journeys Through SpaceTime takes you into a multiverse that really brings you to a place of wanting every complex drop of knowledge you can wring from the story. The first little bit can be confusing (I actually read it twice) but is full of very important details that you need to really be cognizant of space time dimensions and the silky threads that bind it together. If you are reading the book and feel like giving up I urge you to keep reading. James Talisman really brings all these seemingly unrelated events to fruition. I thoroughly enjoyed the complexity of the inter dimensional threads that combined the characters. He takes you to places in such detail that you can actually see, feel and smell what he is describing. I absolutely love the details in this book. To me there is nothing better than an author who can create a picture so clear in your mind you can swear you have been there and James does exactly that! I also find the parallels between our world and the universes James creates particularly fascinating. Believe me this book is a hidden gem and I cannot wait for the next installment!

This exciting historical romance begins and ends in Bittersweep, a small town in 1890’s Texas. Elizabeth returns to Bittersweep as the new school mistress, 15 years after a horrible illness struck the town and sent her family fleeing. As Elizabeth searches for answer to questions from her childhood, she stumbles upon more mysteries than she bargained for.
This contentedly old-fashioned country romance will make you fall in love with the main characters and the surprise plot twist will keep you guessing until the very end. If you have yet to read a novel by Wareeze Woodson, this one is an excellent place to start.

Another extremely enjoyable historical romance by Wareeze Woodson. As I read more of their work, I am continually impressed by how real the characters feel. Their faults and flaws make them even more lovable and make it easy for readers to connect with the story. A fast marriage under tense circumstances leaves Lady Isabel Carlyle and Viscount Rutherford reeling to get to know one another. The mysterious deaths of the Viscount’s two prior finances and attempts to end Isabel’s life make trusting one another difficult in this fast-paced page-turner.

Oh gosh!! Meet the Alpha Bet Guys! These five buddies (Ace, Ozzy, Dante, Fox and Cruz) are in for their fair share of ups and downs during their new chapters in life. Running said lives while making crazy life changing bets with each other (Boys will be boys!) too. With each new bet AND book, you are gripped into the book just waiting to see who wins the bets and what happens to the loser(s)!!! I have to tell you that ALL the characters are wonderful! I know people who can relate to every single one of them! I can’t recommend this set of books enough! I don’t want to give to much away, but….. Steamy Alphas, crazy bets, and sexy curvy ladies are just some of what makes these books so awesome!!
