How We End Up is an interesting and thought-provoking story by Douglas Wells. Mr. Wells is a new to me author whose book was recommended in my book feed. I was intrigued to say the least, so grabbed it to see where the author/story would take me. Jackson Levee is a college instructor and an aspiring poet who saves 9-year-old twin girls from drowning. He then writes a poem about the experience which propels him on to great success. The girls grow up and life throws them various curve balls and they have struggles which are overwhelming at times. There are issues with betrayal, depression, sexuality, drugs- and more, which test them time and again. We follow along while their stories develop and experience a lot of the ups and downs along with them. Twenty-five years after the rescue, they are reunited- only to have a shocking event occur that will leave them struggling to overcome and come to terms with it all. The author examines a few sensitive topics but does so in a considerate, but realistic and informative way. Mr. Wells has a dynamic style to his writing that makes for a compelling read. I am happy I took a chance on this book and look forward to reading more from this author in the future.

Awakened is the second book in the Ariya Adams Trilogy by Anna Applegate. It is a fantastic paranormal romance- with vampires, werewolves, witches, supernatural elements, danger, kidnapping, mind games, manipulation, sinister plots, mystery, suspense, drama, secrets/twists, action… and so much more. This book is the second in the series and I highly suggest reading them in the correct sequence to get the most out of the story. I don’t recommend reading this as a standalone, as it is a continuing story that bridges from book to book. As we discovered in book one, Ariya Adams in her senior year at college. She has a great, close-knit group of friends, and is looking forward to her final year. Strange things began to happen, and she started to think that she was going crazy. What she discovers instead is a supernatural world of vampires, werewolves and witches- where she is a direct descendant of a royal bloodline, with a special ‘gift’ that has placed a target on her back. She also discovers her protectors are a lot closer than she could have ever imagined. With her world turned upside down and her feeling for James growing stronger by the minute- will he be able to keep her safe and thwart the sinister plot that has her firmly in its sights? This fast-paced, action packed story should really be read to fully appreciate what a great book/series this is. I did enjoy the first book in the series, ‘Protected’ (4 Stars), but I did have issues with the level of angst and melodrama in it. I am so happy to discover that in this book those issues have been resolved, and I really got to just immerse myself in the story and follow along as it all unfolded. This is such a great read, my favourite so far. It takes the great premise and foundations laid out in book one and takes it to another level. I couldn’t put the book down, I had to know what would happened next, and ended up devouring it all in a few hours. I got to the end and couldn’t wait to continue the story, so I dove right into book #3. This definitely isn’t your typical vampire story and I am so happy to say that it has its own identity, flavour and tone, from a lot of other books in the same genre. In the last book the content seemed more suited to Young Adults- as there was a LOT of ‘teenage Angst’ and it was very light on the romance side. But this book definitely spiced things up a lot more. Ariya and James have an incredible connection and sizzling chemistry. Thankfully the angsty push-pull that really drove me crazy in the last book is not really an issue in this book. The story was exciting, suspenseful, surprising, romantic, and entirely captivating. There are emotional moments, jaw-dropping OMG moments, touching scenes, and heart in my moth moments that had me on the edge of my seat. I loved every minute and I can’t wait to find out what happens in book #3.

Gold Digger is the second book in the Whisky’s series by R.B Hilliard. This is a great contemporary romance that had me hooked from the first chapter. A story where opposites attract, and sparks fly. I flew though this book in a couple of hours, then went back to one click the first book to read as well, because I didn’t immediately realise that this is the second book in the series. Although, you could definitely read it as a standalone if you wanted to. But, like me, you may get to the end and have to know more about the other characters in the book, too. This is a sexy, romantic, fun read. I loved the characters and enjoyed their dynamic in the story. Each character is a really well-developed individual, with their own unique personalities, traits and quirks. They were really well crafted, and I couldn’t help but invest in them and their story. Hadley Jacobs dreams of owning her own bakery. She is passionate about baking and is very close to completing her culinary degree. She thinks she has it all figured out, but gets a bit of a curve ball with a hook-up at a wedding. Things will never be the same. Blake Moreno is a successful businessman, and military veteran. He’s a sexy, controlling, alpha-type who has a reputation for being a ladies man. He doesn’t do relationships- so he isn’t expecting a hook-up to turn his life upside down. I really enjoyed Hadley and Blake’s story and I can’t wait to see what comes next.

Chain Reaction is the second book in the Nite Fire Series by C. L Schneider. The story is a paranormal, action/adventure. It has so much going for it- there’s supernatural elements, danger, shifters, mystery, suspense, drama… and so much more. I really recommend reading the first book in order to have all the important backstory details, before starting this one. We meet up with Dahlia Nite again, and as we discovered in the first book, she is a shapeshifting assassin who came to the human realm to hide out after an assignment went awry. She didn’t stay in one place for long, moving from town to town, and has devoted her time and particular ‘talents’ to protecting people who are at risk by eradicating the creatures that ‘go bump in the night’, that threaten the unsuspecting human population. She had teamed up with Detective Alex Creed and now they have had time to settle into their partnership. They may be very different in their methods, and even come from very different backgrounds, but it’s their differences that make them such a great team. But, in this book we see them investigating a spate of mutations and people who are combusting in the middle of the street. This case will test them, and their relationship/s, as they race to discover what’s happening, and why. Dahlia will need to change the way she approaches an investigation in order to get to the bottom of it all. With fear and panic at an all time high, there is a lot at stake. Will they unravel everything before it’s too late? This is a fantastic second instalment, it is such an intriguing, unique and imaginative story. Ms. Schneider has once more proved to be a very talented author. I recommend this book/series to anyone who loves a great paranormal story with supernatural elements, action and adventure. You are sure to love it as much as I do!

Without Apology is the first book in the Without series by Aubrey Bondurant. This is the first book in a new series, and because I have loved Ms. Bondurant’s “Something” series, I was excited to get my hands on this book and see what she had in store for us. This turned out to be a wonderful contemporary/forbidden/office romance, with some really funny banter, quips and antics- as well as some emotion, drama, witty dialogue, and endearing characters. Peyton Waters and Simon Granger meet in the checkout line at the supermarket. Peyton saves him from and awkward situation, and they have an instant attraction and chemistry. They agree on a date and end up having a fantastic time. He’s in town for business, so they make plans to meet up the following weekend. Only, come Monday morning they discover that she works for the company that his firm is looking at acquiring. He’s there to make the takeover happen and hasn’t earned the nickname ‘Iceman’ for nothing. Peyton and Simon will need to work closely as the weeks progress and there can be no chance of a relationship with them working together- will they be able to keep things purely professional, or will their chemistry cause them to give in to their attraction? I really love this start to the new series. Peyton and Simon are fantastic character, and I was very quickly invested in them and their story. Theirs is a relationship fraught with complication, with an expiration date from the get go, as Simon is only in town till the deal goes through. With both characters having their own ‘demons’ to battle, as well as a little added drama- this story was a great way to launch the new series. I was flipping the pages as quickly as I could to discover what would happen. The characters are really well developed- including the secondary characters- I loved Emma, Megan, Jen, Kevin and of course Cooper. The story is sexy, steaming HOT! I can’t wait to read book two, Emma’s story- “Without Regret”.

Hard Choices is the sixth book in the Blood Brothers series by Manda Mellett. Ms. Mellett has a real knack for producing a great read, and this story is no different. Even though it is the sixth book in the series, it can be read as a standalone without feeling like you might be missing anything. It is a great erotic romance, with suspense, BDSM, danger, turmoil, kidnapping, betrayal, Sheikhs, a Princess, drama, a love triangle (well, a square actually), and more. There is a unique dynamic between the main characters that you really should read for yourself. I recommend going into the story ‘blind’, to fully appreciate the great dynamics, chemistry and connection between some wonderful characters. I don’t want to give away too much and spoil the surprises. As expected from Ms. Mellett, this story is entirely riveting, and I can’t wait to read more of her superb stories!

Protected is the first book in the Ariya Adams Trilogy by Anna Applegate. It is a paranormal college romance story- with mystery, suspense, drama, angst, push-pull, secrets, supernatural elements, action… and more. This is definitely not your typical vampire story. Add in some werewolves, hidden agendas, betrayal, twists, surprising revelations, and this story takes off. We meet Ariya Adams in her senior year at college. She has a great, close-knit group of friends, and is looking forward to her final year, wanting to get as much out of it before it all ends. But strange things begin to happen, and she starts to think that maybe she is going crazy. When danger come calling, and secrets are revealed, Ariya’s world is turned upside down. With her life on the line, and her friends threatened, what will happen? What discoveries will she make? Who can she trust? And can she find a way to thwart the sinister plot, and the danger that seems to be stalking her? I did enjoy this book- even more so as the story unfolded. I did find that it was a little slow to get going as the author laid out all the framework to the story. But, I loved that this isn’t your typical vampire story and has its own identity from a lot of other book in the same genre. It comes across as an adult paranormal romance, but I found that a lot of the content was more suited to Young Adults- as there was a LOT of ‘teenage Angst’ and it was very light on the romance side. Ariya and her love interest James did have a great connection and chemistry, but the angsty push-pull really drove me crazy and I feel that it went on for a little too long. I also feel that the author missed an opportunity to take this story to the next level, by having too much melodrama and not enough ‘romance’. Don’t get me wrong, this story is very enjoyable and definitely worth the read- I just felt frustrated by so much push-pull/angst/melodrama. The story is set to continue in the next book, ‘Awakened’, and I have already jumped right in to it, to find out what will happen next.

Game Hunter is the first book in the Game Hunter series by Mark Kloss. This is an intriguing Dystopian/paranormal Zombie story- with some sci-fi elements, action, drama, and more. The story is very original- it’s definitely not your typical zombie story. It has a fun, ‘Hunger Games’ meets ‘The Running Man’ meets ‘Warm Bodies’ feel to it that quickly grabbed my attention and kept me turning the pages to find out what would happen. Mr. Kloss is a new-to-me author and I am really pleased that I took a chance on this book. The blurb was intriguing, and the story promised to take me on an action-packed adventure which lured me into purchasing it, and the author certainly delivered the goods. Mr. Kloss takes zombie lore and gives us his own spin on it. He weaves a great story, easily holding my attention from the beginning, till the end. He has crafted interesting and well-developed characters that really made this story even better. The book has a great pace and a smooth flow, although the story did seem to lag in the middle for a while, before picking up again for a strong finish. Overall, it’s a great read and I look forward to book two!

Is This Me is the first book in the Being Me series by Tricia Copeland. It is a New Adult/college/romance- about choices, fitting in, self-discovery, finding out ‘where’ you belong, being true to yourself, dealing with adulthood, being away from the family home/parents, the newfound stress of college life, expectation, and dealing with everything life seems to throw at you. Amanda is beginning her freshman year at college. She is smart, knows what she wants and has a plan. But then Doug turns it all on its head. He’s older, a senior, who has a lot to consider and a lot at stake- but who captivates her attention like nothing she was ever expecting. This leads to choices- choices have consequences- and so Amanda finds herself in a situation she could never have predicted. Things soon feel like they are spiraling out of control. Will they work it out? It’s worth the read to find out… I liked the characters, they were interesting and well developed- although it did take me a little while to warm up to Amanda, but she did grow on me and I ended up liking her a lot more than I thought I would. Doug was great, but he did frustrate me quite a lot with his push-pull and indecisiveness. But overall their portrayals were realistic and believable. The story is set to continue in, “If I Could Fly” book #2.

Arrogant Fiancé is a very sexy collaboration by T.L Smith and Melissa Jane. I am very familiar with both authors, having read Ms. Smith’s ‘Dark Intentions’ series, and Ms. Jane’s ‘Monsters’ and the ‘Bittersweet’ series. I have loved their individual worked, so I was excited by what their writing partnership would produce. To say they got their recipe right is an understatement. What they have delivered is a wonderful, seamless, cohesive and polished piece of work- a real credit to them both! All the controversy that brought about the change from the original title, and the not to be mentioned “C” word, aside, this book is really fantastic and deserves to be read. It has got some angst and drama, but the story never gets too heavy or bogged down by any unwarranted drama. This is a fun and very entertaining read. There is humour, emotion, twists/surprises and some suspense- as well as quite a lot of steam to this tale. The chemistry and tension between the two leading characters was really well portrayed. I was intrigued by their situation, then captivated by them, and quickly became invested in them and their story. This is a forbidden/office romance that kept me hooked right till the very last word! I really recommend this book to anyone looking for a sexy, spicy read that delivers everything the blurb promises, and more! I look forward to reading more collaborations from these two talented authors in the future- after all there were several single, HOT hunks/secondary characters that I would love to see get their own story. Especially Slate…. hint, hint, hint.

Unexpected Love by Vicki Green is a Juniper Court Novel. It is a sweet starting over/second chances story about overcoming hurt and betrayal- learning to trust and finding unexpected love. This is a charming single father romance that will touch your heart. The Juniper Court Series is a collaboration of seven authors who each produced a standalone story that is set on the same street. There are seven stories and each book is individual and unique to its author, the books may vary in style, content and storyline, but they all have the same inspiration- a person/couple who reside on Juniper Court. This story is Greer Markson’s turn. He is starting over after a painful divorce, building a new life for him and his adorable daughter in their new home on Juniper Court. He is focused on his work and his daughter, he’s not interested in relationships after what had happened. But a night out and a chance encounter are about to change all that. Having ‘heard’ Greer being mentioned in some of the other books in the series, it was great to finally meet him and get to know more about him. The author cleverly uses flashbacks and memories in conjunction with current events to tell us the story. Although this gave us interesting information and perspective, there were times that it disrupted the flow of the book, making it a little choppy in places. The characters were great and had wonderful chemistry. They really were made for each other. Embry, Greer’s three year old daughter, was so cute and a great addition to the story. It is a very quick read that was quite fun and not too heavy.

Dissension is the Deliverance series by Kristy Centeno. It is a fantastic paranormal story- with action, drama, thrills, excitement, edge of your seat suspense, gripping danger, supernatural elements, romance, and much more. There is so much packed in-between the covers of this book- the story pulled me in and kept me hooked right till the end. The story picks up a few months after the events in Deliverance (Book #1) and we are thrown right into the action. I have to say that it is every bit as good as the first book and I was so engrossed in it that I read it in one sitting. Although this could be read as a standalone if you wanted to, I really recommend reading the first book to get all the backstory, character information and other relevant details that will enhance your reading experience of this book. It has been 6 months since the Institute was destroyed and all the captives were liberated. Hayden has spent the time adjusting to the world outside, building a life with Kristina. He is a very quick learner, but the transition hasn’t been easy. But now they discover that Gerald Radcliff’s business associates are determined to recreate what Gerald had achieved and pick up where he had left off. They have been scouring the countryside looking for all the hybrids, recapturing them for more experimentation. His life just became even more dangerous and will set off a new chain of events that will trust them ll into a new battle. There is a lot at stake, and Hayden will discover more about his past in the process. Ms. Centeno has written such a powerful, detailed and vibrant story- she had me on the edge of my seat, following along to see what would happen. The story had twists and surprises that I didn’t see coming-all I could do was hold onto my seat and enjoy the ride. The author has done an amazing job with her character development, as I was completely under their spell from beginning to end. The characters were fully realised, with their own unique traits and personalities. There was a lot of love, skill and attention to detail put into their conception and actualization. This is a superb second instalment to the series and I look forward to more from Ms. Centeno!

Blood Heart is the third book in the Immortal Curse Series by Lexi C. Foss. This is such a breathtaking instalment in a spellbinding series, that has captured my imagination and imprinted itself on my heart and mind. I was seduced right from the beginning. It is a superb paranormal romance with action, adventure, suspense, drama, immortals, violence, danger, sexy strong women and panty melting Alpha male types, wonderful romance and very erotic encounters. But, before you dive in- be warned… this is seriously addicting reading! Be prepared to be blown away and end up going on a one-click frenzy to purchase all of the author’s other books. As this is the third book in the series, I really recommend reading both the other books in their correct sequence, before starting this story- because, even though the books are based on different characters, there is a continuing/bridging story which is laid out in the first book and continues into each of the following stories. They introduce characters, back stories and other relevant information that make this book even more enjoyable, knowing all those details first. I adored the first two books so much and was really excited to get my hands on this book. Having ‘met’ the central character in previous books, I was intrigued by them and the premise of their story. I must admit that I was a little worried that I may not like it as much as the previous books. But, Ms. Foss didn’t let me down, as this story is every bit as good as the others and is a PERFECT addition to the series. This story picks up a little after the events in ‘Forbidden Bonds’ and had me completely enthralled from the very first page. I was turning those pages as fast as I could, perched on the edge of my seat, and breathless with anticipation. There were so many twists, turns, and jaw dropping revelations that I was in awe of Ms. Foss, her creativity and talent are truly phenomenal! I was completely and utterly captivated…. I couldn’t put it down even if I had wanted to, which I didn’t, I NEEDED to know what would happen and where Ms. Foss would take us. I read it in one session. I can’t begin to do this story the justice it deserves, so I am not even going to try to give you a rundown of the synopsis. The blurb does a better job than I ever could. I think diving in and immersing yourself in the story is the best way to truly appreciate it- AFTER reading the first two books, of course. All I can say is that if you are a paranormal/fantasy/romance lover and you haven’t read this series, or are not familiar with Ms. Foss’s books, then you ARE really missing out and really should do yourself a favour by one-clicking the fudge out of her work… you are bound to love it/them just as much as I have/do! Sublime!

Beckoned: From Bath with Love is the second part of the “Beckoned” series by Aviva Vaughn. The story picks up right where book one finished, so I really recommend that you read the first book before beginning this one to get the best reading experience. This is a slow-burn, contemporary women’s fiction- that is jam packed full of vibrant and vivid descriptions of travel, adventure, food, longing, second chances, and romance. The book is a very quick and easy read, but the content certainly isn’t lacking. The author packed a lot into this book and it felt like a much longer novel, in a good way. I am really enjoying this series, following Angela and Soren on their journey. This book delves into their emotional mind sets, and we got to see a little more of their characters. There was insecurity, jealousy, push-pull, drama, and some complexity to their situation, that I thought made this story stand out a little more from the first. As with the first book, I loved Ms. Vaughn’s attention to detail, and the way she used her words to bring Bath/London to life. I felt like I was right there with them. The book has a fast pace and a smooth flow. And as with the first story, it still retains the ‘classic’ feel, much like a Jane Austin novel. The writers style is smooth, inviting and very easy to read. She made me want to find out what would happen next, I really want to know where the story will lead, so I have already dived into the next book, that review will follow very soon!

The Night Manager by Tarrah Anders is a wonderful, sexy, sweet and fun- a light-hearted story that captivated me right from the beginning. This follows on from ‘Stripped’, and although this story is focused on different characters, we do get to catch up with Mal and Becks from book one, too. I really enjoy Ms. Ander’s writing, I have read a lot of her books now and she never disappoints. I loved Stripped, and this story is a worthy companion to that book. This is Jacks (Mal from Stripped best friend and business partner) and Cam’s (Mal’s younger sister) story, and we catch up with them the morning after their drunken hook-up at Mal and Becks’ wedding. Jacks memory of the night is rather hazy to say the least, and even though he is very interested in Cam, he doesn’t want to cause any problems with his best friend Mal and would rather pretend the night never happened. So, they all head home and Becks does a great job of avoiding Cam for a couple of weeks- until she turns up on his doorstep needing somewhere to stay as she has nowhere else to go. So, he ends up with a house guest and his world will never be the same? What happens you ask? You really should read all the details for yourself- because it has so much going for it….. its playful, funny, sexy, spicy, romantic, and quite emotional at times- and I was hook right from the get-go! Looking forward to more!

The Long Road to Serenity by M.L Garcia is a friends-to-lovers story and the first book that I have read from this author. I really didn’t know what to expect going into the book and can now say that the author took me on an emotional rollercoaster ride, that had me zipping through a myriad of feelings before finally setting me back on my feet again, happier for the experience. It seemed to me that the story read like a journal in parts and I am still not sure or if I liked or dislike it. I did enjoy the story and liked the characters, even though they frustrated me at times, especially with the push-pull that happened. The story touches on several sensitive topics, which I think the author handled compassionately, while still depicting them in an informative, realistic and believable way. The characters do go through quite a lot and have some fairly intense issues and obstacles to get over. I liked how the author brought it all together in the end.

So the name of the book was changed from Take Me, and is now titled TEASE ME but isn’t updated here. I wish it showed a the cover picture, because it is very sexy! This is the second book in the Dirty Royals Series by Kaye Blue. It is a friends to lovers/contemporary romance, with just enough drama and angst to keep things interesting. This is my second book by Kaye Blue and it’s every bit as good as the first. The characters a re fantastic, fully developed, interesting and likeable. They grew and evolved as the story progressed which made for some entertaining reading. Dallas and Kristian have been friends for about 10 years. They have a great friendship, which evolves into more as the story unfolded. It really gets interesting when Dallas asks Kristian for a favour of sorts. He can’t believe it, and says no. But then when he thinks about it, he can’t stand the thought of someone else ‘helping’ her with her ‘problem’. And both their worlds get turned upside down. What happens to their friendship? Will things ever be the same between them? Will this strengthen their bond, or destroy it completely? A sweet read!

Nipslip is the second book in The Slip Series by the Gwyn McNamee. It is a hilarious romantic comedy, that is wonderfully fun and playful while still delivering all the ‘feels’. As with the first book in the series, Dickslip, this story is refreshingly original, very funny, witty, and RED HOT! I was wondering if Ms. McNamee would be able to deliver on everything the blurb and teasers were promising, but of course she did! This book is every bit as good as the first, whilst having its own flavour and feel. And as I have come to expect from her stories and characters- there was so much to like… I fell in love with the story and the characters right from the beginning and was invested in them and the outcome of their story. There was no way I was able to put the book down before I had consumed every word. The only very minor issue I had was that the ending seemed just a little rushed. But it didn’t detract from my enjoyment of the book in any way. Ms. McNamee has proven time after time, what an exceptional author she is, delivering enthralling reads every time, no matter the genre! I am always excited when I know she has a new release, because I know she will always exceed my expectations! Ms. McNamee is one of my favourite authors and her work is on my one-click, don’t-even-have-to-read-the-blurb or see the cover, or even know anything about it, list because I know what ever she writes, I am going to love. I would recommend her to be on everyone’s must read list, because her work is always on point, her imagination knows no bounds and her writing skills are exceptional. I cannot recommend her, or her work, highly enough!! I really can’t wait for “Beaver Blunder”, Book Three in The Slip Series. If the title is anything to go by, it’s set to be hilarious! A fun, light-hearted and sexy read!

Knights Who Stole My Heart by Sonya Jesus is a romantic suspense, the second instalment and continuing story of Amelia and her ‘Knights”. The book has mystery, a drama, angst, danger, violence, sinister intent, a creepy (stalker) factor in the form of one of the characters, as well as some push-pull, obsession, intrigue, romance, and much more. I enjoyed the first book and this one was just as entertaining. It picks up from the first book, but this story digs a little deeper into the character’s emotional states and inner turmoil, as well as ramping up the suspense and delivering a few unexpected developments. This was both fascinating and frustrating all at the same time. Then add a few more “knights” into the picture, with interest in Amelia, and this story gets interesting. I was #TEAMROBBINS in the last book, but now I am also a little conflicted. I am hoping that the next book will make my choices easier. As I discovered in the last book and again in this one- the author has a detailed, descriptive and strong style, she builds the intensity and tension really well, manoeuvring the plot subtly, creating lots of questions and anticipation. The author kept me guessing the whole way through. This is a gripping story of obsession of the worst kind. Ms. Jesus built the tension and suspense beautifully. I was flipping the pages, immersed in the story and trying to figure out what we would find on every page, or around each corner. Ms. Jesus is quite skilled when it comes to character development. All the characters were fully developed, interesting and complex. This is my favourite of the two books, so far. I will definitely be reading the next book!

“This is your curse until all is made right: I’ll have my revenge at the stroke of midnight. For once the moonlight touches your skin … I win.”
Horrid is the first book in the Fatal series by L.C Ireland. It is a wonderful fantasy- which is full of magic, witches, drama, and had a fairy-tale feel to it- with the authors unique spin. I loved this story and I am so glad that I took a chance on it because it exceeded any and all of my expectations. Delta and her six sisters have been cursed by an evil witch- having lost a few of her sister’s already, Delta is next. She is determined not to give up without a fight and when a deal is proposed, Delta will need to decide if she is willing to pay the price for her and her sister’s lives/souls. What ensues is a high-stakes story, with a moral dilemma, good vs evil (and more), that makes for believable, light, and fun reading. The story is really well written, with fully developed and quirky characters. There is a lot more to this story than first meets the eye, and I really enjoyed this journey. I would have liked to have read a longer and more in-depth version of this book. Don’t get me wrong, I enjoyed the story, but finished it still wanting more…. so hopefully I will get my answers in the next instalment. I am quite excited to see what Ms. Ireland has in store for us in the next book!

Open Season by Alisa Schindler is a really intriguing mystery- with a baseball/sports backdrop, drama, murder, betrayal, investigation, twists, intrigue, and romance. I had not read any of Ms. Schindler’s books before, but when this popped up on my recommended reads, I was intrigued by the blurb and the fact that the story was a little different, too. The story revolves around the murder of the Little League coach and has a bit of a “whodunit” feel to it. The author writes a great mystery and kept me guessing the whole time. I couldn’t have predicted the twists and turns, or the final conclusion. The characters really make this story, they are all individual, well developed and interesting. There was a lot happening and a lot of information, which I felt was too much at times as a lot of it wasn’t pertinent to the storyline/mystery. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who likes a good mystery, coupled with a baseball/sports aspect.

Fighting to Win is the highly anticipated fourth book in the Rocky River Fighters Series by Grace Brennan. The books can be read as standalones, but I really recommend reading them all in their correct sequence to get the full benefit of the storyline. This is a fantastic paranormal/shifter romance with drama, suspense, danger, action, and of course a wonderful romance. I have been anticipating this books release for a while now, as I have been dying to read Ian’s story since meeting him back in book one. As expected from Ms. Brennan, this book is well written, with a great plot, superb story development and scene setting. The characters are completely believable- they’re fully realised individuals with complex personalities, who are interesting and endearing. We reunite with familiar characters as well as debut character/s, as this story plays out. As usual when reading a Grace Brennan book, I was captivated from beginning to end- flipping pages to find out what would happen next. This is my favourite of the series, so far. Ian Gallagher is a single parent to his daughter Shelby. He is also the ‘leader’ and ‘pack’ leader of the Rocky River Fighters. When he goes to his daughter’s school to see her 3rd grade teacher, he is thrown by his reaction to Holly. It is extremely unexpected, especially after everything he’d been through. But Holly has endured more heartache than anyone ever should. She doesn’t want to experience anything like that ever again and won’t let anyone get close enough to cause her any pain. But he is willing to do what it takes to win her over. He just has to figure out a way to convince her that love is worth taking a risk for. But, as unusual things begin to occur, and trouble appears, Ian will do everything he can to protect his mate, daughter, and ‘pack’. This becomes a suspenseful, race against time to get to the bottom of it all and protect those that he loves. This is definitely the most suspenseful of the four books so far. And I loved the way Ms. Brennan brought all the threads together at the end. I knew Ian’s story would be fantastic… It was definitely worth the wait till book four to find out! I can’t wait to see what Ms. Brennan brings us next!

Sex, Blood, Rock ‘N’ Roll and Vampyr is the first book in the Bloodline Trilogy by K.M. McFarland. This is my first book by Ms. McFarland and I was interested to read her take on vampire lore. This is a paranormal, vampire/Rockstar story. The characters were believable- well developed and complex- with their own unique personalities, quirks and flaws. But there are a lot of characters, and a lot of POV’s, which at times just complicated the storyline unnecessarily, causing confusion and a disruption to the flow. The erotic element was present, but what was there seemed a little rushed. This just added to the confusion for me. From the blurb, I expected the story to be a little different from what was delivered. Don’t get me wrong, it is an interesting story that is well worth the read if you like a vampire story with a difference. I normally do too, but it just didn’t grab me like I was hoping. I will re-visit this book in a few weeks to see if I still feel the same way, or whether I just had an off day when I read it. As this is the first book in a trilogy, I will definitely read the other books to see where the author takes us.

Jet Desert Storm by J.E Vassar is another fast paced, action packed story that had me in its grip right off the bat. I enjoyed the first book Jet Ambushed, and really liked the character/s and wanted to see what the author had in store for them. I am happy to report that this book is even better than the first and is definitely my favourite of the two. I felt that this has more character development and depth to the story than in the first book. We get to see another side to Jet, even as the bullets fly. There are some emotional situations that crop up for Jet in this book, too- which pulled me further into the story and had me investing in the character/s and how the story would play out. This book is a short, quick and easy read. There is plenty of action, suspense, drama, intrigue, spy games, terrorists, violence, and more. There is a lot going on in a short amount of space, but Ms. Vassar choreographs all the elements into a smooth-flowing read. In this story, Jet must face off against her nemesis, Salina. There is, of course, a sinister plot, evil intent, terrorism, bullets and bodies- in this high stakes battle. As the action ramps up, the danger also intensifies and again it’s all on Jet to save the day. Will she find a way to thwart the terrorists before it’s too late? And if she does, at what cost? Another great addition to the series, and I am looking forward to more!

Bound Box Set contains the complete collection (all four books) of the Bound series by Shandi Boyes. This is a superb, spellbinding series with everything you could ever ask for from a Rockstar/contemporary romance. There is a swoony, alpha type leading man and a beautiful, intelligent and hard-working leading lady- who set the pages of my book/s on fire. The stories have suspense, intrigue, drama, danger, excitement, BDSM, electrifying chemistry, wonderful characters, erotic situations, and so much more. Each book holds its own in the series, each one worthy of a five star. Be prepared to become addicted to the books, as well as Ms. Boyes bold, sexy and captivating style. I have read all of her books now, and she blows me away every single time. Just when I think that there is just no way she will be able to top the last book, she ups the ante and produces another gem! Her imagination and creativity know no bounds. She is one of my favourite authors, and her books are a one-click, sight unseen, instant purchase- because I just know whatever it is I will absolutely LOVE. This collection is not only a great way to get a riveting read, but as it also contains the entire series, it represents fantastic value for money, as well as there having no wait between books. A real WIN-WIN if you ask me. The Bound series is such a powerful story, and one I definitely won’t forget anytime soon- it is electrifying reading and had me hooked right from the first page. I expected that these books would be fantastic, because let’s face it, all of Ms. Boyes books are- but I was surprised by just how much this series burrowed its way under my skin and into my heart. I was, and am, completely invested in these characters and their passionate and somewhat tumultuous story. I couldn’t love two characters more that I love Cleo and Marcus. They are so beautifully crafted, and quite intricately detailed- from their appearances right through to the small nuances of their personalities. At first, they may seem worlds apart, but as we (and they) get to know each other it becomes more than apparent that they are perfect for each other, if only they could get out of their own way. The last four years has been quite traumatic for Cleo Garcia on many levels- personally, professionally and financially- she has had intense personal heartache, as well as seen her career soar to a top-level position, before plunging right back down to the bottom of the ladder. When an opportunity presents itself to regain a top position with the media company she works for, as well as benefit from some added bonuses, and increase her income dramatically- Cleo jumps at the chance- even if she is a little dubious about what she is expected to do. She knows that this will be an intense investigation, but what she didn’t expect was to encounter a blast from the past, who then introduces her to a world and experiences she could never have imagined. It all has to be too good to be true, right? Follow along as this incredible story unfolds, through all the highs and lows, heartache, bliss, secrets, hidden agendas, surprises, twists and turns. The story will take you on an emotional rollercoaster ride that will leave an impression that will be hard to forget. You really need to read this series and unearth all the exquisite details for yourself, you really won’t regret it. This Box Set contains: -Chains -Links -Bound -Restrained
If this author isn’t on your ‘must-read-author’ list, then she really should be- because you are missing out on some incredible reading.
I can’t wait to see what Ms. Boyes has in store for us next!

God of Gods is the third book in the Dreams of Chaos series by Ashley Chappell. It is a Young Adult fantasy packed with action, adventure, mythology, magic, gods, mystical creatures, different realms/worlds… and so much more. Trotter is struggling with her destiny. This book sees her having to make difficult choices and managing huge responsibilities. Once again, she is caught up in life and death situations that will test her like never before. This is a high stakes adventure that will keep you turning the pages to find out what happens and there is so much going on in this book- it’s an adventure from start to finish. I thought this story was even darker and a much more of a mature read than the first two books, which I really like. Again, Ms. Chappell did a great job creating a rich and unique world(s), and building wonderful backstory, myths and in-depth lore around this imaginative tale. Her storytelling is creative, imaginative, detailed and descriptive. The character development is quite good, the story abounds with interesting, unique and quirky characters. Great addition to the series!

Honor On The Cape is the second book in the Cape Van Buren Series by MK Meredith. It is a beautiful contemporary romance that is packed full of emotion, spice and romance. Having read the first book, I was really happy to find that this book was available, and I hoped that it would grab me as much as book one did. I really enjoyed this book and it is every bit as good as the first. Blayne and James (Jay) were such great characters. I was intrigued by their situation right from the beginning and had to find out how their story would end. They have history, a painful past that has affected them both over the years. Now they find that they will be working on the same project together. Will they be able to put their pain and past aside to get the job done? Or will memories of the past be too hard to deal with? Will old feelings resurface and the spark they once shared be reignited? Will Blayne return home, or will she find a reason to stay? You really should read this wonderful story and find out all the wonderful details for yourself! You are sure to love it too! As with the previous book- I loved everything about this- from the amazing story that is so full of feeling; to the wonderful characters that stole my heart and drew me into their story; to the beautiful setting in which the author placed her story and which the author described in such detail that I was transported there alongside the characters; and then add the authors bold, vivid and sexy style and I was completely captivated and couldn’t put the book down. I will definitely be reading her next book!

Bound is the third instalment (Book #2) in the Magnus Blackwell series by Alexandrea Weis with Lucas Astor- and comes after the prequel Blackwell (Book #0.5) and Damned (Book #1). I have been riveted by this exceptional series, and have loved every single moment exploring each page. After the previous superb instalment, I couldn’t wait to continue the story, and had so much expectation and anticipation for this book. After devouring this book in an afternoon, I am excited to say that the authors didn’t let me down and met all my expectations, and then some! I really couldn’t have loved this book more. It is full of thrilling mystery, suspense, drama, the supernatural, intensity, good vs evil, light vs dark- voodoo, ghosts, and magic. This book jumps right into the story. A lot has happened since Lexie discovered the dragon cane. She is still coming to terms with the events of the last book- as well as her new position of Mambo and the doubts and responsibilities that come with that, her marriage to Will, her business, and trying to bring some balance into her life. Magnus and her have come to terms with their situation, their connection is strong and they have an appreciation for one another. Strange things begin to happen and there seems to be a shift in the universal energy- bringing a sense of foreboding of events are about to happen that threaten to disrupt all of life in New Orleans and the spiritual universe. There is a sinister force with an evil agenda that will test Lexie and Magnus like nothing they could ever imagine. The city, the people, her friends and family, and even the dead won’t be safe from this threat and Lexie will need to figure it all out before it’s too late. But with her powers vanishing she will need to explore every possibility in order to defeat the darkness. Lexie takes her job as Mambo very seriously, and there is nothing she wouldn’t do to protect the people, city and the ‘family’ that she loves so much. Will she find a way to restore the balance of the universe? And if she does, at what cost? Her relationship with Magnus will be tested too, as he deals with his past- Lexie knows he isn’t telling her everything and wonders if she can trust and rely on him still. Will their bond survive, or will the darkness destroy it too? I cannot recommend this book, series and authors enough! If you like paranormal elements in a riveting read, then this is definitely the book for you!!! This is such an exceptional tale, incredibly well written- the product of very talented storytellers. The writing is compelling, polished, descriptive and exquisitely detailed. I loved everything about this book- but you really should read it for yourself, as you are sure to love it just as much as I did. But, if you haven’t read the other two books yet, I recommend that you do, to get all the brilliant backstory, details, and character information that they contain, will really elevate your reading experience of this book. Bring on the next book! Bellissimo!

Beckoned: From Los Angeles With Love is the Third part of the “Beckoned” series by Aviva Vaughn. This instalment of the series is where it really gets interesting! The whole story/series has been fascinating and captivating- but this book takes it to a whole new level. Ms. Vaughn has upped the ante, so to speak, and produced a story that I devoured in matter of hours. I couldn’t put it down and HAD to find out what was happening. The books just seem to get better and better…. And the love triangle of sorts/the ‘threat,’ and the emotional roller coaster that this story took me on had me sooooo conflicted. I love the characters and thought I knew how their story would play out. But Ms. Vaughn brought in a bit of a twist, a surprising element, that really drew me in and held me captive the entire way! I read this book about a week ago and have been mulling over how to do it the justice that it deserves. The whole series has been a surprising find, I never expected to love it as much as I have/do. Ms. Vaughn had my emotions and allegiances all tied up in knots, And I loved every minute. A lot has happened since the first book and Barcelona. Angela and Soren have had an interesting journey. Now, their relationship will be tested like never before. Will it survive? I really don’t want to give away too much because this story is brilliant, and you really should read it and discover all the juicy details for yourself. I highly suggest reading the first two books in the series, before beginning this one- as the story is a continuation from book one and will give you a better understanding of characters, motivations, backstory, and overall storyline. This book gives a new meaning to the word sizzling! There are some no-holds-barred romps that singed my eyebrows and melted the screen on my kindle! This is definitely the best of the books, so far. It had everything you could want in a great read- it was captivating, sentimental, emotional, romantic, seductive, sexy, realistic and entirely believable. I am now really anxious about the next book, and to find out how the story will end. Another fantastic read from a great author!

A Gamer’s Wish is the first book in the Hidden Wishes series by Tao Wong. It is a GameLit urban fantasy that has a bit of an RPG feel to it- with action, adventure, magic, genies, humour, secrets and danger. The story is about what happens when Henry discovers a genie who grants him 3 wishes. What would you do with three wishes. Well, if you were Henry, who has a love of RPG games, then you might be tempted to make your fantasies a reality. We follow along as Henry sets off on his adventure. But, sometimes our fantasies aren’t always the fun and games we thought they’d be. The character/s are interesting but could use just a little more depth. The story, while being intriguing needed a bit more drama, tension or surprises to make it more compelling. This is a fun, light-hearted, quick and easy read, but was a little slow to get going as the author established the story. I would definitely read the next book to see what happens in the story. An original, and interesting concept!
