Elemental Fire (The Hidden Realms #1) by E.G. Manetti
This is the first book I’ve read by the author. Elemental Fire is the first book in The Hidden Realms Series. The book was such a fascinating story. Fairy tales come to life in this book.
Rad is a fire elemental and interested in Sin. Being an Enforcer is hard work, but worth it in the end. Sin helps him in a crisis and he can’t help but repay her. He is intrigued by her the more he gets to know her. The quote I chose for Rad is: “Sin, you fascinate me. Beguile me. But that is not why. You trusted us over your own kind. On nothing but our word. Within the hidden realms, we owe you an act of similar courage or trust. The monetary reward must equate to the value of the debt.”
Sin is a human who can see the Hidden for who they truly are. She is a PI which is how she meets an Imp she later helps break out of jail. She finds Rad interesting and can’t seem to keep him off her mind. The quote I chose for Sin is: “Whoever is sourcing the dark-b knows it’s illegal beyond the veil. Otherwise, they’d be working with you or another warden. If they are caught, under the treaty, they get handed over to the Elders’Council for trial and judgment. The few criminals who have returned after the Elders’Council justice, aged decades in days. I would want a lot more than a fat bank account to risk a big piece of my life.”

He meets her through his cousin when his wife was harmed. The quote I chose for Salvatore is: “Anything and anyone remotely connected to the family or our organization is my business. Running the urgent care and being the only physician on call for the entire casino and resort— it’s too much for one person.”
Adrianna is the doctor at the resort where Salvatore and his family reside. Cousins, Uncles, brothers, and whatever else you want to call them.

The time thing confuses me. How did they come back so soon?”

Alessia knows there are vampires out there. She also has the same power as her grandmother. When her Grandmother tells her that they are coming she understands. What she isn’t expecting is to find her mate. The quote I chose for Alessia is: “You don’t half to explain anything to me, Gramma. I’m sorry I questioned you. I’m just shocked. Why on earth would the vampires want to start a war now? They’re sitting at the top of the hierarchy in terms of power. They have the respect of almost everyone in the underworld. While I’m sure all the factions would love nothing more than to take that power, most people grudgingly respect the vampires for the way they’ve been able to assimilate into the modern world and their ability to work alongside even the Syndicate.”

Yesterday’s Over: Philly Heat Series #3 by Becky Flade
This isn’t the first book I’ve read by the author. Yesterday’s Over is the third book in the Philly Heat Series. The book had me hanging by a thread. The book contains two of my favorite things. Crime and medical people.
Trudy is the corner for the police department. When a building blew up they found bones. She has to call in for help and there she finds Ben. She finds herself in some trouble as they figure out what happened to the people. The quote I chose for Trudy is: “Thank you. Bistro Romano was a good choice. They’ve an excellent wine cellar. That painting? It’s local artist S.S. Welling; an amazing talent. She paints watercolor still lifes so vibrantly they look like photos. I have a smaller, less expensive print in my loft. It was the first thing I ever bought myself that wasn’t second hand and cost slightly less than my car.”
Ben is a professor and loves what he does. When he gets the call about the police finding bones he jumps on it. He finds that Trudy, the medical examiner, is hard to keep off his mind. He wants to see if they have more in common. The quote I chose for Ben is: “I’ve watched you perform autopsies, teach interns, and work with me while juggling administrative issues with aplomb and grace. I’d assumed you were already the Chief Medical Examiner.”

Link thought he was the only Fae alive. Sure there’s supposed to be another one, but he hasn’t met her. When she walks into the hotel all things go out the window. He breaks her into their world and sees what they can do together. The quote I chose for Link is: “She may already have a room.”
Ommily is the other Fae that exists. She comes to the hotel with her human fiance. She’s not sure if this will be a dead end like the others. Then she meets Link and finds that she’s falling for him. Then his ex comes into the picture. The quote I chose for Ommily is: “I may have a few ideas about that.”

The Victor: A Second Chance Romance (The Freemasons #1) by Nicole Flockton
This isn’t the first book I’ve read by the author. The author knows how to keep me coming back. So far I’ve read several books by the author and I really can’t choose my favorite. So far The Freemasons Series is good. The Victor is the first book in The Freemasons Series.
Cole is trying to move on with his life. He buried his father without his wife by his side. In fact, they haven’t been in the same house in six months. So when she wants a divorce he says on one condition. The quote I chose for Cole is: “I mean, the time to come and see me would’ve been when I needed to have my wife by my side. The day I buried my father.”
Ava is going to ask Cole for a divorce, but she isn’t expecting him to say no. She knows it’s time to move on, but what if she doesn’t really want to let go. It seems that might be the case with them. The quote I chose for Ava is: “What do you mean? I want a divorce, Cole. Don’t you think it would be best for the both of us if we ended our marriage?”
Highly recommended for Contemporary Romance lovers.

This isn’t the first book I’ve read by the author. The author knows how to keep me entertained with her historical novels. Each is better than the last. Divided Lives is the first book I’ve read by the author that doesn’t have anything to do with Notebook Mysteries.
Lottie is a lawyer by day and would hate for her private life to become public. When her on and off girlfriend goes missing she starts being blackmailed. Things start going sideways when Frank becomes involved. The quote I chose for Lottie is: “Why? I don’t know. After all the drama with Rose, Joseph seemed so sweet. He didn’t play games. If he said he was going to be somewhere, then that’s where he would be.”
Mafia Elite Series Box Set: Volume Two by Amy McKinley
This isn’t the first box set I’ve read by the author. The author knows how to keep readers entertained and keep coming back. Every book in this box set is amazing and I can’t wait for you to enjoy them.
Savage Secrets: An Arranged Marriage Mafia Romance (Mafia Elite #4)
This isn’t the first book I’ve read by the author. It’s also not the first book in the series that I’ve read. Each Mafia Elite book gets better and better. Max and Lil, Enzo and Sofia, Stephano and Em, and now Marco and Elena.
Marco is the Mafia boss for his family. He’s also the one who is sent to get Elena. He wants her to be his, but she doesn’t know of his feelings for her. Things happen that bring them closer together. The quote I chose for Marco is: “Going somewhere? Chloe James? Don’t think for one second I don’t know you’re Elena. I’d recognize you anywhere, in any disguise. This freckle, the shape of your eyes, the pout of your lips, even the smell of your skin. You can’t hide from me. It doesn’t matter what alias you use. I’ll always find you.”
Elena has been dead for the last four years in order to protect everyone she cares about. So when Marco shows up she runs because she doesn’t know if he wants her dead as well. He takes her back home and she finds that she’s getting married. The quote I chose for Elena is: “I’m not thrilled about it. Who would be? I found out I’m half Russian and related to a Bratva boss. Not exactly my dream evening.”
Ruthless Heir: An Enemies to Lovers Mafia Romance (Mafia Elite #5)
This is not the first read by the author. This is number five in the Mafia Elite Series. Each gets better and better. You never know what you’re going to get or what to expect.
Summer comes home from work to find her roommate and best friend dead. She knows what she has to do and she runs. She knows her friend’s ex is after her. The quote I chose for Summer is: “Stop bringing that up. It was a mistake and the first time I’d ever been to that bar. I wish I’d never gone.”
Luc is about to get the shock of his life. He’s got a half sister that he doesn’t know about. Will he be able to do what they want him to do? The quote I chose for Luc is: “Get John on the phone and make sure the interior designer starts updating this floor first. I want those cubicles gone. And find out more about the executive assistant I have. I discovered early this morning that they didn’t disclose Edward’s assistant was on maternity leave and a temp has been working here for three weeks.”
Collateral Damage: A Second Chance Mafia Romance (Mafia Elite #6)
Another fantastic read by the author. Collateral Damage is the sixth book in the Mafia Elite Series. This time it’s Trey’s turn. Only this time she might not die.
Trey might just be getting his second chance at love. Hailey has done nothing wrong and she tugs at his heart. Will Trey be able to save her in time? The quote I chose for Trey is: “Be careful how you talk to me, Allen. You won’t like the repercussions. Make it happen with the board, and I’ll see what I can do about your daughter.”
Hailey goes to meet her dad, only she doesn’t call Allen her dad. She falls for Trey but can’t let it be known as she doesn’t want to get her heart broken. The quote I chose for Hayley is: “So you took on his crisis rather than tell him to shove it? He could have gone to the cops. I don’t understand why you got involved. It seems like this is more of a headache for you.”
Rivals: An Enemies to Lovers Mafia Romance (Mafia Elite #7)
This isn’t the first book I’ve read by the author. So far every single book is amazing in its own way. This book tops them all though. This is the seventh book in the Mafia Elite Series. I really can’t choose my favorite book.
Mia comes from a different side of the mafia. She isn’t sure where to fit in only to find her love in the La Rosa family. She finds that her father isn’t really her father. The quote I chose for Mia is: “I’ve only been here, Chicago, and Grand Cayman. I’m not sure where I would want to go. Maybe Italy? It’s hard to believe I’ve never been there, being Mafia and all.”
Nico was engaged and then stuff happened. Now he’s trying to figure out where to go from here. He meets Mia and knows that he’s got to have her. Then stuff went down and now they’re putting their lives on hold. The quote I chose for Nico is: “My sister urged me to purchase property here even if I wasn’t ready to build. That’s ours. We can build a house whenever you want.”

LAB SPILL: A Dark Comedy. Maybe. (THE COOL THING SERIES #2) by Robert Rife
This isn’t the first book I’ve read by the author. Lab Spill: A Dark Comedy. Maybe. Is a great read. This is the second book in The Cool Thing Series. It was a great read and I had a hard time putting it down.
There were once again so many characters to choose from. The one character that stuck out the most was Darren. Yes, he is in the first part of the book. He seems to be a hard-headed person that wants things done right. The quote I chose for Darren is: “The entry point has been fired; we’re going in. I’m taking a crew of three.”

An Inheritance To Die For (Cozy Mysteries To Die For #4) by Judy Moore
This is the first book I’ve read by the author. An Inheritance To Die For is a great book and had me hooked from the beginning. This is the fourth book in the Cozy Mysteries To Die For Series.
Beck is called by an old roommate and she needs help. Beck isn’t exactly sure what she’s getting herself into. When she gets down there she finds that it could be any of them that murdered her friends father. The quote I chose for Beck is: “It wasn’t just about the new will, was it, Elliott? It was also about the old will. You were the executor. You knew what it said. You wanted Oliver to hear those horrible last words his father had for him. Words that his son would never forget. Words that would forever turn him against his father and cement his relationship with you.”

This is another fantastic read by the author. Grave Digger Academy II is the second book in the Grave Digger Academy Series. This series keeps getting better and better.
Makayla is back for her second year at Grave Digger Academy. This year she is participating in the school games and will be going up against her brothers. This year is difficult and perhaps may be her last. The quote I chose for Makayla is: “Please do. Woolly frightens me. He’s stronger than last year and more desperate. I’m lucky to be alive.”

Just One More Egg: A Science Folktale (Science Folktales) by Lois Wickstrom
Another fantastic read by the author. My daughter absolutely loves the author and loves me reading them to her. The author knows how to keep readers coming back.
A Cuckoo bird lays her egg in another bird’s nest. The bird doesn’t mind and keeps it. The neighbor bird says to get rid of it. I couldn’t really choose a quote for the bird.

Operation Pinpoint (Space Force Rejects #1) by Landra Graf
This is the first book I’ve read by the author. Operation Pinpoint is the first book in the Space Force Rejects Series. This book is a great read and I loved every minute of it.
Ravenna is a Space Force employee. Her friend and lover goes missing along with the ship. She wants in on the mission to find said ship and she gets her way. Only problem is when they find the ship, her lover is dead. The quote I chose for Ravenna is: “You’d do better to keep me as your friend versus making me an enemy. My method is the only approach for this trip, especially if you want your freedom.”
Dravos isn’t exactly human. He’s a different species and he finds his mate in Ravenna. He doesn’t trust anyone. When he finds that maybe he can trust them they betray him and his mate. The quote I chose for Dravos is: “Answering you doesn’t ascertain my trustworthiness. If anything, someone willing to openly run their mouth should be considered more dangerous. They will weave tales like a druff spider, spinning their webs in the hopes of mesmerizing you enough to stay still before they strike.”
