Mesmerised (Hybrid Lovers Book 2) by Toya Richardson – Review by Alisa Boomer

Mesmerised (Hybrid Lovers #2)Mesmerised by Toya Richardson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I enjoyed the first book in this series but I liked this one even more! Fast-paced and action-packed, the main leads are quite unique in this story. Even more so, while at first glance it is good vs evil, the hybrids themselves aren’t pure angel wings either. The heroine in this novel is very relatable and it is fun to watch her relationship grow with your mate. Definitely worth the read!

Love Bites More (The Darkness & Light Duology, and the Love Bites World) by TL Clark – Review by Alisa Boomer

Love Bites MoreLove Bites More by T.L. Clark
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is a fantastic tale! I have read love stories involving three people and it can be difficult to find a balance. This book handles the different emotions and tensions very well! Rather than cause drama for drama’s sake, the emotions of these characters are raw, genuine, and they all have fantastic depth. I personally love the theme of fated mates and this author has such a unique take on it! Absolutely wonderful read!

House of Arsceneaux (Servants of Morrigan: Immortal Creatures) by Caterina Novelliere – Review by Alisa Boomer

House of ArsceneauxHouse of Arsceneaux by Caterina Novelliere
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This was a clever tale! I love dark paranormal romances as a genre but I Iove it even more when they blend myths into the package! This book begins with a glossary that in and of itself was daunting. So many cultures! However, as you read, this author spins a tale over years and years, but manages to keep it interesting! The female protagonist is clever and strong. The male protagonist has actual depth, not just a hunk with a dark side. Definitely worth the read!

Twisted Bond by Danielle Jacks – Review by Alisa Boomer

Twisted BondTwisted Bond by Danielle Jacks
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The Bond was an exciting story! I always love a good enemies to lovers novel and this one is werewolf flavored! The main heroine is on a journey to save her pack while the main hero is forces to find a wife, a task he begrudges. Lines get blurred when undeniable chemistry flares and makes them both question their resolve. If you love werewolves & heat-laced friction, this is a must read!

Twisted Proposal (Central Florida Stories Book 3) by Victoria Saccenti – Review by Alisa Boomer

Twisted Proposal: Central Florida StoriesTwisted Proposal: Central Florida Stories by Victoria Saccenti
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I have read a few books by this author and yet again I was surprised by how quickly you fall into her stories! She has an unbelievable knack for taking heroes who think/act like they have fallen, throwing in a wonderful heroine, and seeing what excitement unfolds. We all know that a good woman can really shake things up but wow! These two absolutely have spark but now, who will win the battle of the wills? And who is willing to pay the price for what they truly want? This is a must read!!

Undeniable (Central Florida Stories Book 2) by Victoria Saccenti – Review by Alisa Boomer

Undeniable (Central Florida Stories, #2)Undeniable by Victoria Saccenti
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Undeniable is such a thrilling story! It is frustrating in a fantastic way and keeps you on the edge of your seat! Military PTSD is a tragedy that leaves our main hero certain he is just the wrong man while the heroine sees him as anything but the wrong one. Add in danger, twists you absolutely cannot predict, and a spicier BDSM side, and this story had me hooked! Not for the faint of heart, this book will have you staying up late to read the next chapter!

Deception by Victoria Saccenti – Review by Alisa Boomer

Deception (Central Florida Stories, #1)Deception by Victoria Saccenti
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I wasn’t sure how Deception would play out but I was wonderfully surprised! Our hero has his eyes set on revenge to satisfy the anger and hatred in gis heart. Unfortunately, it is directed at our heroine! Rather than gloss over the warring emotions and complication of this tale, Saccenti takes the bull by the horns! She deftly navigates complex characters and a narrative that develops quite organically. And rather than focus on only the intense physical chemistry between the main characters, she pays the soul connection its due most beautifully!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I am officially a Courtney Davis fan!! This story was captivating, action-packed, and magical the entire way through! The heroine’s entire life is turned upside down & she is faced with an entire new set of rules. Add in a ruthless, sassy demon and it is oil versus fire. Who will win?

Fiddle and Fire: A Steamy Historical MMF Romance (Hearts of Gold Book 2)Fiddle and Fire: A Steamy Historical MMF Romance by Ariella Talix
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Fiddle and Fire is an absolute MUST READ for fans of historical romance! Make sure to read the reviews carefully, because it does contain a non-traditional take on a love story, but it is beautiful. It has such a dichotomy of male interests that are each unique and swoon-worthy! And in a rake of a brother and an old nemesis, and the lovebirds seem to be at odds with fate! Will they be able to fight for their love amidst the fires and drama of San Francisco?

Freedom Rings: Book Three of The CircleFreedom Rings: Book Three of The Circle by Brenda Hardwick
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I really enjoyed this book! Not only is it a classic example of good vs evil, but it addresses racial issues from an understanding point of view. Full of magic & action, the main character is such a strong person who always stops to do the right thing. Reading the first two books is necessary because the characters develop throughout the adventure and knowing their backstories is key. I will absolutely be reading this author from now on!

Amaleigha Loves a Good Story by Janice Pratt – Review by Alisa Boomer

Amaleigha Loves a Good StoryAmaleigha Loves a Good Story by Janice Pratt
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

The core idea of this story is really sweet! I love that Amaleighia has such a big heart, sees a need, & wants to help! Thinking about helping the bilingual families in her community is wonderful! However, it was very wordy and did not necessarily flow very well. I do love how everyone came together in the end!

Raine Down (The Shadow Guardians Book 1) by CB Samet – Review by Alisa Boomer

Raine Down (The Shadow Guardians, #1)Raine Down by C.B. Samet
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This story is such a unique twist on Norse Mythology! Rather than there be one side trying to cause Ragnarok and the other prevent it, this tale begins after it has already happened. It presents Norse mythology in an all-inclusive way, encompassing all the detail. You don’t need to have any previous knowledge to enjoy the book! The author also works the mythology into the real world quite seamlessly! I didn’t know what to expect but I was very pleased. A good read for sure!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I really liked this book! The chemistry between The main characters was HOT! Stuck in what seems like an impossible situation, will it bring them closer than ever? The main guy can be quite mean, which was a bit of a turn off for me. Once everything is out in the air, it makes total sense. Great sexual tension and emotional drama!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Ashes of Sin and Stardust is probably the best book I have read in a long, long time. Yes, it sinfully steamy and yummy in ALL the right ways…. but, it is more than that. It just opens the dark side of life with mental illness. The characters are just so real and just make you fall in love with them, flaws and all. TRIGGER WARNING: This book is dark and honest! But it so completely worth the read! Bravo!!

I have never been a fan of Romeo and Juliet. Forbidden love is sexy but for it to end in tragedy? Not my cup of tea. But this novel was FANTASTIC! Forbidden love and enemies-to-lovers all in one package! Banter, wit, fun, high stakes, and did I mention the sexy men with celestial powers that fall in love?! You HAVE to read this one!

Truth or Kill speaks to that little corner of your mind that binge watches serial killer documentaries and adds some steam just for kicks! It is a little dark, pretty twisted, and a pretty killer read. I can honestly say that I have NEVER read a book like this before! It is the ultimate version of a “Come to the Dark Side” romance. Absolutely worth it!

I will definitely follow Kells for her future masterpieces!

She has strong responsibilities that keep her away from our strong, wounded cop, but all she does is ignite his protective instincts! And the epilogue?! I just can’t wait for the next one!
