I can confidently say that this book is unique. The characters are well developed and the plot is out of this world. Well, I guess the plot is kind of in this world with sprinkles of other worlds. There is no need to read the other two in this series before reading this one, but I cannot wait to go back and read the other two. I can only hope they’re as good as this one was.
This book was everything. It was funny, mysterious, sci-fi, tense, and heartfelt. This author has a way with words and I cannot wait to read more by them. The writing was great and the story was even better. I have not read such a unique read in a long time, if ever.

Detective Sheldon is a well developed character. I know and understand (maybe better than most due to my career) that profanities are used after every word. Comparing this to reality, it is acurrate. When I read a book, however, that is not all I want to read.
As a crime thriller, I enjoyed the plot of the story. Primarily I loved the development of the main character, Detective Sheldon. There are a lot of plot twists that keep you turning the pages. If you love a good mystery, this book is for you.

This book was great. The characters, the overall plot, all great. The only downside of this book was that I felt like it could have had more detail and brought more side stories to life. I am the type of person who enjoys a good quest, but the side quests really make or break the story.
I think the author has some great characters and a storyline that is entertaining for fantasy readers. This was a quick and easy read. It was very difficult to put down once I started reading it. I would definitely recommend to all fantasy/mystery lovers.

This novel was everything I wanted; military, friends to lovers, and suspenseful. This was also very family oriented and I love a good book that is geared toward family. The main characters, Caleb and Harper, are both spunky and determined. Their personalities glow as they search for Will, Harper’s brother and Caleb’s best friend.
The only downside of this novel was I felt like there could have been more action. The plot was good, but it could have used a touch of surprise here and there. That is the only reason for 4 stars for me rather than 5. Otherwise it is a very quick read that will have you going “one more page” for hours on end.

This book was so much fun. I didn’t expect all of the banter and comradery in this story; it was a pleasant surprise. You typically get a lot of serious and/or intense plots connected to a romance but this was a lovely and unexpected twist.
I would definitely recommend to those who love the spice but are looking for something light(er). The only thing that I would change is the profanity. It is a little extra and not necessary. However, overall a great and fun read. I can’t wait to get into the second one!

This book is truly for anyone. I know there are specific people that enjoy the Sci-Fi genre, but there is a little mystery, suspense, and fantasy in this novel for any reader. As most fantasy and Sci-Fi novels begin, this had a slow start in order to gather the information you need for the rest of the book. I can assure you that you will not regret continuing to read this book if you can make it through the first couple of chapters with an open mind.
I enjoyed the back and forth between characters and time frames as well. It ties the characters and the plot together beautifully.
I am also being impatient when it comes to the second book. I cannot wait to get my hands on it! Also, have you seen the cover art? It is fabulous!

I loved everything about this book. The perspective from a third person in a “relationship” is an experience I’m not familiar with and I enjoyed it! Each character was well developed and had their own personalities that meshed in a fun way. Honestly, Jordan was probably my favorite even though she wasn’t the primary character.
I also enjoyed the plot. Again, the plot was unique and had some turns that I was not expecting. I love everything I read by this author and I cannot wait to get my hands on more!
I thoroughly enjoyed this novel. The characters were well developed and relatable. The plot was thicker than Maya. The twists and turns along the way kept me on the edge of the page wanting more.
The reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is because there were a few uncomfortable moments where Maya’s weight was mentioned more than I felt was necessary and some of the thought processes were odd for the situation. Overall, I would highly recommend. I loved the back and forth between characters and the different point of views. I loved the POV of the suspect; it gave a different vibe and insight to the story that I feel added a lot to the plot. I cannot wait to read more from this author!

Once again, this author does not fail to disappoint. The author produced yet another amazing story, not just a repeat with different characters. I am once again impressed that Helo and Chaz have their own story and spotlight. Their stories are inspiring and nothing short of realistic.
Another bright side is that you do not need to read all of these novels in order to understand the plot. However, I still highly recommend reading the rest of the novels that involve the Wretched Souls MC. I can assure you that none of them will disappoint!

I am sincerely impressed with this novel. The author did some serious research and/or has experience with PTSD and how it affects different people. I also love that the author knows about one of the fight or flight responses that many do not know about: fawn. If you are looking for a novel that intertwines knowledge of PTSD, this book is for you. I highly recommend as someone who helps those with PTSD every day and studied it.
The only reason for four stars instead of five is because the repetition became tedious. While I am reading, I do not need to be reminded of what I have already read. Otherwise, the characters and plot were well thought out and I cannot wait to dive into the next one!

This book has some great characters and plot line, but I found the pace to be a little slow. There were times I struggled to keep up with what was going on because of all the little details that were being thrown in. They were good details, but I did expect this novel to have some serious action and fast pace to it.
However, overall I enjoyed this book and the characters that the author made relatable. I do hope to see more action out of the next novel, but I also cannot wait to continue the storyline where Lea and Gabriel left off with Maddie.

This novel was well written, however, I do not get the “English” vibe from the writing. I was also bothered by the author calling Margot an “Amazon”. I am a taller/larger woman and if someone called me that, I would not be happy. Otherwise, I loved the story and the characters.
The book was easy to read and follow. The characters were relatable and I fell in love with them as soon as I read about them. The banter between the two main characters is fun and just makes them that much more real. The author does a great job keeping your attention throughout. I cannot wait to read the second in the series.

Another well written novel by these authors! Again, I found myself struggling when new characters were introduced and the plot dragged out a tad. However, the endings in this series are always worth it.
This series is great for those in the medical profession that want a novel they can read without cringing at the inaccuracies of the medical field. It is also perfect for mystery lovers! These authors should write a nonfiction novel about themselves because I am sure they have some stories to tell. I cannot wait to read more from these authors because it is obvious they put their heart and sole into these books.

This book was well written. The plot seemed to drag on a little bit because so many new characters were introduced, but ultimately the end brought everything together. It is obvious the authors know a lot about the medical profession and they tie that knowledge well into their novel. The characters are also very well developed and easy to connect with.
I got confused and a little bored when all of the characters were being introduced, which is why I gave this book 4 stars instead of 5. I definitely recommend if you enjoy a good mystery novel.

When I read the summary of this novel, I expected something different. The characters were good. I believe they were well thought out and flowed well together.
I do, however, feel like the world building could have been better for a fantasy novel. There were many times I could not picture where the characters were or what they were doing.
I was also taken aback by all of the cursing. I understand that here in the United States, many people’s language consists primarily of foul language, but there are so many other adjectives that could have been utilized in my opinion.
Overall, I was left wanting more out of this book. Perhaps I am being too harsh after just reading a different fantasy novel, but this just was not what I was hoping for. And hopefully more details come in the second book in the series! It was a relatively short novel and I feel that a little bit more detail could have gone a long way.

Berry, C.J. Pinard, Danielle Jamie, Darlene Tallman, Julie Morgan, Livell James, Machelle Hanleigh, and Melissa MacKinnon – Review by Allyson Ware
This novel has an interesting plot. I’ve never known people to invite others into their home to review it unless they are looking to sell. Kat does not want to sell, so it is peculiar to me that she wants someone to write about it. Other than that, Rae is a force to be reckoned with both professionally and personally.
Rae and Dean have this connection that is undeniable from the moment they meet. You can feel every bit of emotion from the authors writing. If you are looking for a great romance novel, this is it. I cannot wait to read the sequel!
His Forever Muse:
Where do I start? This novel is just as good as the first! The author does such an amazing job of bringing these characters to life. Brandon and Callie are best friends that lost connection and are brought together by fate. The lack of judgement that Brandon has toward Callie is outstanding and I believe he should be the standard for all men to look up to. He is not perfect by any means, but I absolutely love his character.
I cannot wait for the next book in the series. The writing is phenomenal and so easy to sink your teeth into. If the characters and plot are anything like the first two novels, then it will take me no time to read the third. Highly recommend! Super cozy novel with some action and suspense tied in.
Unexpected Entanglement:
This author knows how to create amazing, relatable characters. Even though Chris Sullens is a famous entrepreneur, he can talk to and relate to a small hometown community. From the main characters to the smallest of characters, the author puts an immense amount of personality into each of them as if you have known them for multiple series. In this case we have known Chris, but not to the extent in which we now know him in this novel.
This book is a tale of two love birds that struggle to express their opinions to each other but wear their hearts on their sleeves. The story of Rowan and Chris pulls at my heart strings and I was rooting for them every step of the way. Frustration, anger, lust, and happiness are all emotions that play major roles in this novel and I highly recommend you pick it up! There is a small amount of love scenes in this book which I appreciate because I do not enjoy complete erotica novels. It is easy enough to skip over those scenes as well. I sincerely cannot get enough of this author!
Dangerous Rhythm:
This author hits a sweet spot for me every time I read one of their novels. Each one of the Echo Series books can be read as a stand alone because there is not much information that you need to catch on to the current book. That being said, I absolutely think it is worth it to go back and read the others if this is the first one you plan on reading!
I loved Curtis and Lina. They fit together like PB&J even though Lina tried her hardest to stay away from Curtis. I also love the tidbits of information about the Chinese culture. If you like a good romance intertwined with some suspense, this is the book for you. I cannot recommend this author enough.

Alam – Review by Allyson Ware
Watching Ashton and Zachary’s relationship flourish is fun and realistic. Realistic is not an adjective I often use to describe book characters, but I believe it is an accurate word in their situation. We FINALLY get some back story on Zachary. There is a lot of learning in this novel, more about the BDSM community of course. But we also learn a lot about Zachary and his family.
I refuse to give away spoilers, so you will have to find out for yourself by reading it. I cannot wait to read more by this author!
Wow. I am thoroughly impressed by this book. The complexity of Zachary and Ashton’s relationship is intriguing and mature. This novel contains an immense amount of information about the BDSM lifestyle. Also, the amount of respect shown for those who enjoy certain things but not others, the consent, and the way the information is presented is impressive.
Honestly, I have nothing bad to say about this book except that it ended too soon!
I really quite enjoyed this book. I felt it was well written and the characters were well developed. It is not a standard novel that I would pick up, but I am glad I did. The only part I did not enjoy was the descriptions of all of the main characters past lives. I was overwhelmed and confused with all of that information and I feel that it did not add much to the story.
Overall, I would recommend this book to those who enjoy philosophical mysteries. It is not a long book and the storyline moves quickly. Definitely a fascinating, self reflective read.

The first thing I would like to say about this book is that it needs a trigger warning. There are discussions of unwanted assault that I believe needs addressed for all readers.
Other than that, the book is interesting. The characters are easy to understand and they obviously care deeply for each other. It is repeated multiple times throughout the book that they are each others first and only love. Quite tedious, actually, hearing it over and over again. It is also a little frustrating watching Harper and Gabriel go back and forth being irritated with each other. The author stimulated my emotions, so obviously they struck a cord when I read this book. I just do not know that the book is for me.
Overall, I would recommend this book to romance lovers. Perhaps this just is not the romance book for me. There are multiple scenes that are not for young adult readers. I do hope this author continues to write other novels because I enjoyed the writing style, I just hope for a less tedious plot.

This book was very well written. My only complaint is how short it is. I wish there was more time to get to know the characters. The plot was easy to follow, but again just flew by. Overall, it was a great and easy read I just wanted more substance. It is also nice that it can be read as a stand alone.
I do have to say though, the epilogue hit me in the feels. Both Miles and Alexa obviously have their own communication issues that they need to work through together, but ultimately they found their way to each other and are growing in their relationship. I definitely recommend if you are looking for a quick, easy fantasy romance read!

This book was well written. I definitely believe that you need to read the others in this series in order to fully understand what is happening and develop a true connection with the characters. One thing I found was my interest waning as the book went on. I just found myself trying to skip ahead.
However, the characters were well developed and so was the world. While I zoned out in some parts, others were great and held my attention. Overall, I would recommend this series; just make sure you read the others prior to reading this one!

I am so happy, yet so sad that this series is over. I do have to say, the author tied the ending up in two perfect bows with the epilogues (yes, you read that correctly). In this novel, we finally figure out what happened with Shane and Tracey’s breakup. We also find out who kidnapped Winter and why. We ALSO find out the truth behind Winter’s sister drowning in the lake.
Like I said, this book tied up all of the loose ends and did not leave me with questions like most of the previous books in this series. However, one question I do have is: when is this author going to write more novels? Because I am absolutely obsessed and need more from this author!!

This book was so good! I love a good trigger warning. I am not a big fan of the MM expletives, but I am not a fan of MF expletives either and I am married to a man. BUT, I cannot fault the author for that because the storyline and even the expletives are incredibly well written.
This book hit me in the feels. Benji and Milo are two amazing characters with an immense amount of personality. They both have been through a lot dealing with the loss of Kellan and their parents not being the best. However, I love a good happy ending. I cannot recommend this novel enough. I may have found one of my new favorite authors!

This was a fun read. I have never read one of the Jake Wolfe novels before, so this can be read as a stand alone. I really enjoyed Jake and Cody’s characters. The only reason for four stars instead of five is because I felt like there was a lot of filler that could have been left out. I found myself trying to skip ahead to get back to the main plot.
Overall, I enjoyed the book, the characters, and the world that they live in. I love a good happy ending, and I truly feel like this book deserved the ending it got. I highly recommend for any crime or thriller junkies!

Wow. This novel had me on the edge of my seat from the very beginning. Poor Lynn, beaten and abused by her husband, Jimmy. Not only does she have a rough home life, but she is also dying from cancer when she wins the lottery. I do not want to give away any spoilers, so I will just say that this book did not disappoint when it came to the shock and surprise of the plot.
I may have found one of my new favorite authors for the thriller genre. This was a relatively fast read and I cannot wait to get my hands on part 2!

This book is so good! Once again a wonderful dystopian novel. The only issue I had while reading was the different POV’s. They were not separated very clearly, so I had to re-read in order to figure out which character was narrating.
However, the characters were amazing and well detailed. I was frustrated with Frankie all the way up to the very end. I have to say Zac or the twins were my favorite characters. I know, they are on opposite ends of the spectrum, but they have their individual quirks that I love.
Overall I would highly recommend this novel to anyone who loves a good dystopian read. This is on a different level and includes my next favorite genre as well, which is Sci-Fi. A very fun and unique read for anyone looking for something different and quick!

This book started off hilarious. I loved knowing everything that Fenimore (Fenny or Simon if you prefer) is thinking down to his most intimate or silly thoughts. It really gives the reader a better idea of the main character, which is always great. The one thing I have to say about so much detail though, is that I wish the non important information was left out. There is so much detail that I felt like I had to weed through what information I needed for the plot and what information I did not need.
I also feel like with so much information, it could have been separated into smaller chapters. There was also confusion when the author used the first and last name interchangeably. When they were talking about Monty Parker, but instead of saying Monty, Parker was used to reference the character, I had to go back and re-read multiple times.
HOWEVER, this book has everything. It is historical fiction, mixed with LGBTQ+ romance, along with a mystery/thriller. I highly recommend to anyone looking to find a new, different book. I loved the characters, especially Simon and Monty. They are great characters with amazing personalities. Even though they are part of a gang, they are so kind and gentle as you get to know them. You will not regret picking this book up.

I cannot ever get enough of dystopian novels. YA dystopian novels always seem to have the best storyline, too. This book has a very similar feeling to Divergent or the Hunger Games, but it absolutely has its own plot and storyline which I loved. You get to know Lexi, part of the white administrative section who takes her placement test with the green garden section in mind. Her plans do not work out and she ends up in the brown trash separator section. I know, but trust me, there is never a dull moment in this book.
Reeves is the man she is assigned to marry. He seems to take his vows seriously and supports her through thick and thicker. I do not blame Lexi for wanting nothing to do with the person they assign you to, but I do not know that she would have been able to find a more perfect match for herself if she tried. She just needs to get past her stubbornness and realize it!
Also, I had goosebumps and chills galore while they were caring for Janie. All of these characters have such a personality that it is difficult not to form opinions about each one. I am not one to spoil the end of the novel, but I promise you will not be disappointed. I cannot wait to read the next in the series!
