Waiting For Aegina (The Gift Saga Book #2) by Effie Kammenou – Review by Angela Hayes

Waiting for Aegina (The Gift Saga, #2)Waiting for Aegina by Effie Kammenou
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

 

Waiting for Aegina is the second book in The Gift Saga by Effie Kammenou.
We pick up right where the Evanthia’s Gift finished off. And again, we are treated to a beautiful story that tugged on my heartstrings. The author writes beautifully, painting vivid images with her words. The details and descriptions transported me into the story and I followed along as the story transpired. This journey of friendship, connections, and love is a fitting sequel to the first book. I loved catching up with characters from the first book, as well as meeting some new ones. The characters really make this story special.
I think this book is a little more complex and dramatic than the first one. But every bit as enjoyable. The Greek culture and heritage depicted in the story adds an honest, fascinating and enlightening element to the book.
The story has a great pace, a smooth flow and is easy to read. I am looking forward to reading the next book in this awesome saga.

Thank you, Ms. Kammenou!

Siren Call (Eastern Shore Swingers Series Book #3) by Phoebe Alexander – Review by Angela Hayes

Siren CallSiren Call by Phoebe Alexander
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

 

Siren Call is the third book in the Eastern Shore Swingers Series by Phoebe Alexander. This story could be read as a standalone, without feeling like you are missing anything. Having said that though, the other books are well worth the read, they are great stories on their own, but also introduce other characters who appear in this story too. This is an erotic F/F romance with some drama and mystery.
This book is nothing like I thought it would be. I wasn’t sure about the F/F aspect to the story, not that I don’t like it, so much as it’s hard to find a good one with a story that has some substance, as well as some spice. I shouldn’t have doubted it though, because I know Ms. Alexander is such a talented author and always produces a memorable and entertaining read. She writes beautifully and has a relaxed, detailed and descriptive style that embraces you and guides you into the heart of her story.
Jessie Martinez is a Police Officer doing a favour for some friends. They ask her to look out for one of their club members. It’s not really such a bother, because the club member in question has caught Jessie’s attention, and she’s more than attracted and intrigued. There is definitely more to the situation than meets the eye and Jessie is determined to discover what it is.
Sirena joined the club as a way to escape. A distraction and diversion from her painful memories and the heartache she’s endured. She wasn’t going to ‘crack’ so easily. But the more she gets to know Jessie the weaker her defences were becoming. What is she hiding? What happens when her secrets are revealed? What does fate have in store for them? You really must read the story and find out all the incredible details, because I don’t want to give away any spoilers her.
I love these characters, they are so lovingly crafted- fully developed individuals who are realistic and totally believable.
The story is passionate, erotic, emotional, interesting and entertaining. I loved how Ms. Alexander was able to bring the whole story to life and give it energy, heart and soul. I also appreciate sex-positive and body-positive messages that Ms. Alexander promotes through her storylines. This book is definitely a real showcase for/of the authors writing skills.
I can’t wait to read the next book and find out what happens.

Thank you, Ms. Alexander!

The Complete Hidden Scars Series (Hidden Scars Series Books #1-3 Box Set) by A.M. Myers – Review by Angela Hayes

The Complete Hidden Scars Series (Hidden Scars, #1-3)The Complete Hidden Scars Series by A.M. Myers
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

 

Hidden Scars Box Set contains the three books in the captivating Hidden Scars series by A.M Myers. If you have not yet read any of Ms. Myers work, this is a fantastic introduction. I have read several of her books now, and she always delivers a great read. I like how all her stories are focused on a particular couple, but there is an inter-connectedness throughout the books/series- as theses three books each focus on one of three siblings, Emma, Tucker and Trace Harrington- and I really love the connections to/with the spin-off series, ‘Bayou Devils’ as well.

Hidden Scars is the first book in the series and focuses on Emma Harrington who is struggling to reclaim her life after ‘him’. Moving forward isn’t easy though. She has lost a lot (of herself) and is determined to find herself again. So, when a very sexy tattooist enters the picture, her journey gets a lot more interesting.
Nix isn’t about to let her reluctance deter him. He is determined to break down her barriers and get her to open up. But what happens when the past catches up with her? Will she finally find herself again and be able to reclaim her life? What happens when the fear she has been running from catches up with her? Will Nix be able to help her?

Collateral Damage is book two in the series where Tucker Harrington and Daisy Connors get their story. These two have know each other for years, as Daisy is the best friend of Tucker’s younger sister, Emma. Daisy had a crush on Tucker since she was a young girl, but he never showed any romantic interest. Daisy has tried to move on but hasn’t been successful in erasing him from her heart. Then, a late-night visit and a fleeting kiss changes everything.

Evading Fate is the third and final instalment in the series. Trey has had a hard past that has shaped him into the man he is today. Addy has secrets, fate has been cruel, and she has had to deal with something that has been very hard to bear. These two are drawn together, their chemistry is electric- but can they put all their fears and issues aside, in order to embrace a brighter future, together?

I really enjoyed this series. The characters are wonderful, and I couldn’t help investing in each one of them and their stories. There was a lot of emotional content that really pulled me into the story and had me cheering each couple on throughout each book.
I really recommend this series, and particularly the spin-off series from this- Bayou Devils MC. I recommend reading the books in the correct sequence, to get all the relevant character and background information- which will enhance your overall reading experience.

Thank you, Ms. Myers!

Winter’s Mage (The Outcast Mage Series Book #2) by Miriam Greystone – Review by Angela Hayes

Winter's Mage (The Outcast Mage, #2)Winter’s Mage by Miriam Greystone
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

 

Winter’s Mage is the second book in The Outcast Mage Series by Miriam Greystone. It is an epic Urban Fantasy that’s packed full of action, adventure, mystery, magic, danger, mages, and mythical creatures.
We met Amy (Asa) in the first book, Truthsight. She is a Doctor, but also a very powerful Mage, with the gift of Truthsight. She had been unable to use her gift, because in doing so she would be discovered and then executed (I won’t go into more detail because I don’t want to spoil it for you if you haven’t read it yet). But when a patient’s life hangs in the balance, Amy has no choice but to use her powers. She doesn’t regret saving the mother and newborn, even though doing so gets her captured. But before she can be executed, she is saved by Rowan, who had his own agenda at the time. But, situations arise which sees them setting off on an adventure and has them joining forces with mythological creatures, to fight the forces pitted against them.
This story picks up a while after the events of book one. Amy is still recovering from her ordeal, but life is beginning to return to ‘normal’. Until she tries helping a cursed creature and ends up afflicted herself. Now it’s a race against time to find a cure.
As expected, Ms. Greystone wove her magic throughout this spellbinding story, it exceeded all my expectations, and then some. I loved the first book so much, and this one is every bit as good.
Ms. Greystone has created a complex, vividly detailed and exciting storyline- seamlessly blending the human world with that of the mythical/supernatural realms. She bought it all to life- using the power of her words alone. The characters are all fantastic- fully developed with their own personalities, quirks and flaws. I love them all. It was great to find out more about Jason, too.
The story is fast paced, and action packed. It’s addictive reading that I couldn’t put down till the very last word! I read it in one sitting.
A fantastic second instalment to an excellent series!
I can’t wait for more from this talented author.

Thank you, Ms. Greystone!

After All These Years (A Cedarville Novel Book #7) by Bree Kraemer – Review by Angela Hayes

After All These Years (A Cedarville Novel Book 7)After All These Years by Bree Kraemer
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

 

After all These Years is the seventh book in the Cedarville Novel Series by Bree Kraemer.
We meet Julia and Wes, who have a shared history. But situations occurred that drove them apart. Now, after more than a decade they both are back in Cedarville. With unfinished business- one is looking for some closure. What happens now they’re both back on home turf? Will the sparks they once shared be reignited? Or will the unfinished business of what happened all those years ago drive a deeper wedge between them, and close the door on ‘them’ once and for all?
This book is well written, with wonderful characters, who are complex, likeable and interesting. The story line is intense, emotional, and intense in places. It flows well and is a quick and easy read. There are quite a few sizzling moments- but overall, it is a superb romance that really stirred up my emotions.

Thank you, Ms. Kraemer!

Jungle Eyes: An Action Adventure Romance (Stranded in Paradise, #1) by Lindsay Marie Miller – Review by Jenni Bishop

Jungle Eyes: An Action Adventure Romance (Stranded in Paradise, #1)Jungle Eyes: An Action Adventure Romance by Lindsay Marie Miller
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Jungle Eyes is the first book in the Stranded in Paradise trilogy by Lindsay Marie Miller. It is an action adventure/ historical romance. The story starts off a bit slow but builds up as we are faced with danger and fear, drama and twists and turns as there is shipwrecks and pirates, murder and mystery.There are moments where you find yourself laughing or sighing when something touched you and moments when your heart breaks. The relationship between our main characters is frustrating at times and was a little frustrating to follow but it is a slow burning love story on a tropical paradise, or is it?

Lindsay is good at setting a scene. I wonder where the next book takes us.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Truthsight (Outcast Mage Book 1) by Miriam Greystone is the first book in the series and is great. ​Miriam’s magical world is a unique take on paranormal romance. The creatures are different and wondrous, from mythical creatures such as Centaurs and Leshies, Pixies and Gnomes to Mages and magical powers. Dr. Amy, who is a magical healer and who has the power of Truthsight, helps save the creatures who come for help. But the evil is let loose and she is being hunted. Will she be able to keep all those she cares about safe or will they fall prey to the evil? This book was hard to put down and had me enthralled from start to finish. It is a refreshing change on from the norm of paranormal. Miriam has weaved an amazing tale of fantasy, paranormal and romance..

I am looking forward to the next book in this world.

Winter’s Mage (Outcast Mage Book 2) by Miriam Greystone is the second book in the series and is great series. ​Miriam’s writing is spot on and everything is a wonder to read, from the characters, to the magical world and creatures she has created. The fighting, the wonder, the betrayal, the truth, the lies make this book hard to put down. Just when you start to think you know where the story is going, then BAM you are twisted around and off on another route. Miriam’s words just flow from the page and brings to it, it’s to life, she is truly master of her craft.

Coastal Spirit (Stranded in Paradise Series Book #3) by Lindsay Marie Miller – Review by Angela Hayes

Coastal Spirit: An Action Adventure Romance (Stranded in Paradise, #3)Coastal Spirit: An Action Adventure Romance by Lindsay Marie Miller
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

 

“How many lives did they have left? How many more times could they cheat death? How many days remained on the island for them to survive?”

 

Coastal Spirit is the third and final book in the Stranded in Paradise trilogy by Lindsay Marie Miller. It’s a great action adventure- with an historical timeline and elements, and suspense, danger, drama, tension, romance and angst. While I have loved this series, as a whole, I did have a couple of minor issues with this book that kept pulling me out of the story and disrupting the flow- which in turn kept me from loving it quite as much as the first two. But I still enjoyed it, and found out how the series concluded!
We jump in pretty much where Island Smile left off. Where the climactic ending left us on tenterhooks wondering how the characters were going to survive the crisis. Henry, Elaine, and Louisa are trying to survive – pitting themselves against the jungle, mother nature, and sinister foes. They have cheated death so many times already, and none of them are sure that their luck would hold out or whether they would finally succumb to all the dangers lurking on the island. We catch up with familiar characters, as well as meeting new ones. Henry, Elaine and Louisa have to try to figure out who they can trust, as well as finding a way off the island, and getting home.
There is quite a lot going on in this story that had me on the edge of my seat. There were some very emotional times, and then there were moments of tenderness, humour, and sheer anger. Some of the push/pull, stubborn pride, and angst, was sooooo frustrating. There were more than a few times where I wanted to shake some sense into them all!
Ms. Miller will continue to be one of my go to authors and I look forward to reading her next book.

Thank you, Ms Miller!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Going Places by Kathryn Berla ​is a story of a young man who finds his first love but is that love reciprocated? It is also about finding friends in unlikely places and where age is no barrier. The book is told in the main character, Hudson’s, point of view, which you don’t see too often.

The story is well thought out and well written and gives us a look at a young man who is navigating his way between being a teenager and becoming a man and knowing what he wants but coming to the realisation that we don’t always get what we want.

Going Places by Kathryn Berla is a great YA novel with a coming of age/teenage angst, love, loss, living up to expectation, responsibility, believing in yourself, friendship, and also touches on some sensitive issues in a caring, but realistic way.
We follow Hudson, who really is a lot smarter and capable than I think he gave himself credit for. I enjoyed watching him develop and grow as the story progressed. He was a better, more confident version of himself by the end.
I have read several of Ms. Berla’s books now and liked them all, and this is one of my favourites of the them all, so far! I really appreciate how Ms. Berla writes such realistic and believable characters, and stories. With each book, she takes us on a journey of discovery, not only for her characters, but also for us, the readers.
As I have come to expect from Ms. Berla, the story is well written, with a great pace, a smooth flow, and is very easy to read. I thought the story was quite touching, and I loved how it focused on the relationships between the characters, and the complexities within them. The characters really make this story. There were parts of the story that were also quite thought provoking, insightful and poignant.
A really lovely story!

Thank you, Ms. Berla!

A Single Girl’s Guide to Paris by Raven Gale – Review by Angela Hayes

A Single Girl's Guide to ParisA Single Girl’s Guide to Paris by Raven Gale
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

 

A Single Girl’s Guide to Paris is the first book in the Single girl series by Raven Gale (S. Lawrence). It is an erotic romance, with a little adventure to keep things interesting. The story is sexy, fun, and entertaining. I love the synopsis of the story- a single girl’s traveling adventures, which she then uses to write her travel blog, who meets Mr. tall, tattooed and hunky with a dark/dangerous vibe. He has his own reasons for traveling, which we also get to follow over the course of the story. This book essentially has two storylines which blend together into a great read.
I do wish the book was a just a little bit longer, as some of the paragraphs were a little rushed, and at times felt cut short. I still really enjoyed the story and am really looking forward to reading the rest of the series- but I did feel that this story may have suffered just a little in the author’s attempt to confine it to a novella.
The characters are so likeable and interesting. They drew me in immediately and had me clamoring for more. Their chemistry was nothing short of electric and they certainly had the ‘sizzle ‘factor! I loved Ember, and Carter is just drool-worthy. It is such a great premise, and with just a little tweaking, this story could be soar to a red hot 10 star read!
I am intrigued with what the author has coming up next, as we follow Ember to Venice! Bring on Book #2!

Thank you, Ms. Gale!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Eye of the Storm is A Gray Ghost Novel book 2. It can be read as a standalone but there are a couple of characters from book one. This is also my second book by McKinley and it will not be my last.
This story is quite the adventure. While fighting the jungles of Columbia, the Ramirez cartel, and the guerrillas looking for blood, how is a girl supposed to find romance and love!? The very first page starts us on our adventure with a man stuck in a tree, upside down with no memories. Is he the good guy? The enemy? Our hero?

Enters Mari. She’s running. Running from the jungle, the cartel, the guerrillas and even her past. We feel a bond and a sense of urgency that Mari needs to get to safety. Enters Hannah. She seems to be a know it all tough fighter of a woman. But McKinley doesn’t let us love or hate her just yet. We, the readers, are left wondering if we can really even trust her. Enters the mysterious unconscious man, who was stuck in the tree, named Chris. Why can’t he remember anything? Can anyone be trusted?

McKinley writes a story of intrigue and mystery. Confusion and courage, trust and understanding. Good story line. I look forward to reading more from McKinley.

Siren CallSiren Call by Phoebe Alexander
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Wow! Hot and sexy. I’m not sure who my girl crush is on more: Phoebe Alexander or Jessie.

This story is a female/female romance. Not your everyday boy meets girl with rainbows and unicorns. No this story has swingers, lesbians, bi-sexuals and maybe if you’re looking, you might find a straight lover. It has mean girls and a mystery that makes this story a page turner.

Jessie is our main character and is a hot girl cop who meets our other main character, Siren, who is a hot mess of a mystery. The other characters are Paisley, Cap, Alvin and Leah who are all from the first two books, but each story can be a standalone. My opinion though is to start with the first book, Fisher of Men, because the Eastern Shore Swingers Series is worth starting at the beginning.

Phoebe Alexander has written another great body-positive story with sex-positive characters. While the reader may not be a swinger or even open about their own sexuality, Alexander leads the reader to believe that all people deserve happiness and love.

Really good story line that makes me want to keep reading anything Phoebe Alexander puts out!

Must Love Fashion (Darling Cove #1)Must Love Fashion by Deborah Garland
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

 

Must Love Fashion is the captivating debut novel and first book in the Darling Cove series by Deborah Garland. It is a contemporary romance, with second chances and new beginnings. Set in the fashion world, with wonderful characters and a beautifully detailed and descriptive story- Ms. Garland’s debut has certainly made me sit up and take notice. A fantastic start to what I can only imagine will be a superb series!
The story begins when Gwendolyn Mallory answers a ‘Must Love Fashion’ ad. She hasn’t had the best of times lately, with a divorce hanging over her head and some financial issues, she desperately needs to take the next step in her career in the fashion industry- to her dream job. She was excited to land the job, and when she meets the drop-dead-gorgeous, sexy man she would be sharing an office with, her world is turned upside down and her life gets very interesting.
Andrew Morgan is an ex-model turned fashion executive. He works incredibly hard, pouring himself into his job so he doesn’t have to think about his painful past. Andrew is ready for to start his life over but isn’t sure how to go about it. He is a little lost, and his memories kept him locked in the past. He’s been in Milan on business and returns to find he has a new office-mate. To say he isn’t impressed would be a bit of an understatement, but there is definitely something about her that fascinates him and gets under his skin.
As they work closely together, sparks fly and passions are ignited. But this story isn’t quite so smooth sailing, there are some serious obstacles that need to be traversed if they have any chance at making their blossoming relationship work. With twists and surprises, this story kept me avidly reading from the first page, right through till the end. I loved everything about this story and I am really looking forward to seeing what Ms. Garland has in store for us in the next book.

Thank you, Ms. Garland!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

 

That Unexpected Kiss is the second book in the Kissed by Fate series by Tamara Ferguson. I realised soon after starting this story, that I had already read it as part of the Hunks to the Rescue Anthology. I really loved it the first time and can honestly say that it was just as enjoyable the second time around.
Ms. Ferguson takes us back to picturesque Dragonfly Point and Crystal Rock, where we get to meet our two main characters who have had a little history- an attraction that never seemed to mesh at the right time. But when their fates finally align we discover that FBI Agent Dylan Nash is undercover investigating a trafficking ring, as well as searching for his father’s killer. He is incredibly drawn to Julie Thompson who is a special education teacher. She has recently moved back to town and has her own mystery to solve, as her mother disappeared when she was young and Julie has always wondered what became of her. Will Dylan be able to help solve her mystery, as well as solving his own his investigations? What has fate got in store for these two?
I loved this wonderful romantic story, it has mystery, suspense, and a little drama. The characters are very endearing and were beautifully crafted and fully developed by Ms. Ferguson. I always love visiting Crystal Rock and Dragonfly Pointe and this story was no exception.
This is a fast paced, quick, and easy read. The author packed a lot into the book and as expected, has produced an excellent story.

Thank you, Ms. Ferguson!

This is my second book by this author, and I can say she has joined the list of my favorites. I loved this book, everything about it even when I was sitting here bawling, like ugly nose blowing take my breath away bawling.

I love MC books, but this one has a completely different feel to it, it doesn’t concentrate so much on the club but more on the members and I really really like that now as well.

What Carly went through in her life was so awful and I completely understand her mindset and why she felt the way she did about no strings relationships, and then her torment just seems to multiply right about the time she thinks she could possibly have it all, the decisions she had to make had me totally falling apart. Thank God for Chance, I loved loved loved him. He was everything you want in your book heros.

The Monster That Ate My Mommy by Jessica Aiken-Hall is an emotional stirring memoir that moved me in ways literature has never done before. Following Jessica’s and her harrowing journey through life, with all its highs and many lows. This book was so beautifully written and emotionally raw, that I couldn’t put it down and read most of it in a single sitting. I feel blessed to have read such a book and thank Jessica for being so brave and sharing her story with the world. To tell her story about growing up in a violent household, to being sexually harassed and raped as young child, to battling against mental illness and severe depression, and coming out of it stronger than ever. Her story is evocative and emotional, and I recommend that everyone read this book and open their eyes up to the dangers many abused kids are dealing with, and speak up.
5/5 stars. Thank you Jessie
