Misfortune of Vision (Druid’s Brooch Series Book 4) by Christy Nicholas – Review by Bobbi Wagner

Misfortune of Vision (Druid's Brooch #4)Misfortune of Vision by Christy Nicholas
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is my favorite in the series yet. This book is creative, well written, engaging and pulled me in from the first page. The characters bring the story to life and kept me turning pages. I enjoyed watching them grow throughout the story. Orlagh takes you on a journey or quest of finding an heir for her magic brooch. It has magic, page turning action and you have to find out if she succeeds but it is worth the read. I highly recommend this book.

Death and the Crone: Book Three of the Lucky Devil Series by Megan Mackie – Review by Chantelle Smith

Death and the Crone: Book Three of the Lucky Devil SeriesDeath and the Crone: Book Three of the Lucky Devil Series by Megan Mackie
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Death and the Crone is Book 3 in The Lucky Devil Series. After reading the previous two books in the series I was more than happy to get the follow on book, but this one intrigued me even more as the storyline and the characters are not something that you would usually put together in a supernatural/fantasy read.
But nonetheless, this book was just as interesting, captivating and packed full to the brim. The storyline was easy to follow, the characters are well developed and it was an enjoyable book from start to finish.

This author definitely has a creative writing style that’s captivating and enjoyable in every way, and I continue to enjoy her reads every time. I highly recommend this read and look forward to what else is to come from this series.

Tainted Saint (Hawke Family #5)Tainted Saint by Gwyn McNamee
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Tainted Saint is the fifth novel in the Hawke Family series by Gwyn McNamee. This is my eighth novel by this author.

I am always excited when I hear that this author has a new book coming out. Especially when it comes to this series that I love so much.

Saint knows what he wants and he wants Caroline. Will she finally act on her feelings or will she run before anything can become on it?

I love the suspense and progression as the story continues.

I really enjoyed the the connection between Saint and Caroline.

With that ending, I am so excited for the next novel!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Get ready to laugh til you cry and pee your pants! This book is not only hysterically funny, it is sad and a little bit dark too. But it is very sexy as well. Until Fools Find Gold: Happily Ever Alpha World is Book 1 in the Providence Gold Series by Mary B. Moore. I haven’t read any books by this author and after reading this book, I am now hooked! This book was definitely a page turner! I couldn’t put it down. In this story we follow Luna, she running from her father who abducted her from Vegas and wants to sell her to pay his debts. We also follow Noah, who is Luna’s best-friend’s brother. Apparently, they have been in love with each other for quite some time. His brother aka Luna’s best friend has repeatedly told him to stay away from him but since Luna returned back, he is definitely not listening. But since Luna went missing Noah is making it his life’s mission to get her back. This was a great story and I cannot wait to read the next book in the series!

Blinded by Betrayal with Spin Drift is the first book that I have read by this author and I am pleasantly surprised at how much I liked this book. It is a Mafia type book and that alone had me intrigued.
The main character is named Sloane and she just so happens to be the daughter of a Mafia Boss. She has lived a life of privilege but soon learns that life can change in the blink of an eye and she will have difficult times ahead of her.
I enjoyed this book and I liked that I was pulled in from the very first page. I am looking forward to reading more by this author and I would recommend this to a friend!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Until Fools Find Gold is the first book I have read by Mary B Moore. It is the first book in the Providence Gold Series, and overlaps with her Until Series. I loved this book and I cant wait to read more, as the couples in this book are all great. The story starts out pretty intense, with us not knowing what exactly happened to Luna. But, that makes sense because the Townsends don’t know what happened to her either. She has been best friends with Levi for years, and her family took her in as one of their own, until one night she disappeared in the middle of the night. She had a crush on Levi’s older brother Noah since she was 6 years old, but was never able to act on it. Until now. After returning home, she soon realizes Noah feels the same way, and before too long, they end up getting drunk and married. To make matters worse, they both wake up hung over and are no longer together. But don’t fret, it all turns out okay in the end! Highly recommend this book and am glad to have found a new series or two to read!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Perfectly Played by Holly Kerr had so many things I love to read about.

First, there is a dog Cappie and I’m a firm believer that every book should have a dog and/or a cat. Second, a hot guy with a beard, you can’t go wrong there and as an added bonus he’s a baseball player which is one of my favorite things about summer. Finally you have a sweet story about how fate brought two people together so far from home.

Dean and Flora’s story is just adorable and really not too far fetched which I enjoyed. After they both have their previous relationship end on what should have been their wedding day they literally run into each other and the games began immediately.

I loved Flora and her relationships with M.K., Ruthie and Patrick. Though two were family they were amazing and I fell in love with Patrick.

This story drew me in front the start and I hated having to put it down. I throughly enjoyed this book.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Demon’s Angel: Satan’s Devils MC was a great 5 star read and book two in the Colorado Chapter.

Watch the devil and feel the demon

Demon is the president for Satan’s Devils MC. While looking at some new locations for tattoo shops, Demon sees a woman walk by he hasn’t seen in years, someone he had promised to watch over and had failed, Violet. Violet is the sister of Demon’s best friend, through the years he has lost touch with her. When did she come back? And when did she have a baby?

Demon had a feeling that Violet was hiding something, but what?

Violet needs to protect her baby. She doesn’t feel like she has an option in the choices she made to protect him. And life has dealt her a terrible hand with her family, she has lost her brother, dad and her mom is deteriorating with dementia. Will she be able to keep her son safe? Will she open up to Demon and allow his MC to help her?

There is so much more to this great read. Violet was such a strong woman and Demon was great also, he was very protective of his family. All of the secondary characters were great. I can’t wait to read more from this series. If you’re looking for a great thrilling read, 1-click and get started on this series.

Blinded by Betrayal with Spin Drift by Lisette Kristensen is the first book in the Silent Secrets series. This is a short, powerful read that had me enjoying the story from beginning to end.

How in the world i’ve never heard of this author before but man oh man am I glad it showed up as a recommended read!
I love, love, love best friend brother romances and this had a twist to it ive not read before. It had very serious sibject matter but it was broken up with humor as well. It made you appreciate the story as a whole a little more in my opinion.
I don’t want to give anything away but these two were great, knew what they wanted and didn’t let anything stand in their way.
Cannot wait for more from this series, if the epilogue is anything to go by od what we’re in store for, it’s going to be a hilarious yet bumpy ride.

What will brew between the two of them? This was a quick, fun romantic read. I really enjoyed the story and the characters. Flora is funny and cute. Dean is sweet and chivalrous. Both challenge the other but in a good way. The two go through and start fast but later become friends and more. I really wanted them to have their happily ever after.

Perfectly Played by Holly Kerr was a sweet light heart read that hooked me right from that wicket opening.

I have to say, as far as book openings go, this one has probably been the best, for me, this year. Straight to the point, with a punch of excitement, ending with the fated meetcue, and you have a start that hooks you in seconds. I loved the plot, the characters, all of them not just the MC’s. Though I fell hard for Flora, what ever she saw in her ex is a mystery, cause that girl is fun, nerdy, and someone I would be friends with. Dean was also wonderful, my fave scene was when he got some well deserved advice from a “queen”.

Man this book, is one of those light reads that just makes you feel off the good feels, with just a touch of drama to keep you guessing and interested. So to end this book gets my super high recommendation and my stamp of approval.

Happy Reading

The Queen of Witches (Wheel of Crowns #2) by Brandi Elledge was a fast pace, action packed, intriguing read, that had me hooked form start to finish.

The second book in the Wheel of Crowns series, and just like the first I could not put this book down. Something to know about this series, it can be read as a standalone, so if you haven’t read the first book, no worries, cause you can just jump in right here. But I do suggest reading the first book cause, it’s just as outstanding as this one. The attention to detail, the plot, the characters, everything was on point, engaging, pulling, and man at one point I forgot I was reading I was so absorbed in this amazing fantasy world that Brandi Elledge has created. This book, this series, is a must read from me, and it’s probably one of the best I have read so far this year!

So if you haven’t guessed, this book gets my super high recommendation and my stamp of approval.

Tainted Saint (Hawke Family #5)Tainted Saint by Gwyn McNamee
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I really liked reading this story. The Hawke family is probably one of my favorite families to read about.

I love how the main characters, Caroline and Saint, have been watching each other, both thinking the other is out of their league and unattainable. I love when they finally realize their feelings. But of course, their story isn’t just as simple as that. There has to be a “bad guy” who tries to mess everything up.

McNamee’s stories never fail when it comes to making the characters ache and yearn for each other. Her stories never fail at making the reader sigh or want to continue reading.

“She promised she was done running, so it’s up to me to make sure she stays.” – Saint

This story is meant to be read in order, as every member of the Hawke family is intertwined with each other through-out the five books.

Misfortune of Vision (Druid’s Brooch #4) by Christy Nicholas – Review by Francis O’Sullivan

Misfortune of Vision (Druid's Brooch #4)Misfortune of Vision by Christy Nicholas
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Misfortune of Vision is the fourth book in Christy Nicholas’ Druid’s Brooch series. The series follows a brooch as it is passed through the generations, giving powers to whoever is in possession of it. Each book is set at a different point in history, mainly in Ireland.
At the time when Misfortune of Vision is sent, Christianity has become the main religion in Ireland. Orlagh, whose visions and medical knowledge have been helping her community for decades, is being treated with suspicion by a church that is desperate to assert its dominance.
It’s nice having a protagonist who is quite old. Orlagh knows her time is running out and wants to ensure that she passes her knowledge and the brooch on to someone suitable. We see her struggling with tasks, relying on others for help, and being drained by the work that she must do. We also see her thinking about how her body is changing as she ages and mourning the friends and family who she has outlived.
I also like that Declan, another major character, is a musician. His knowledge of songs from a variety of traditions adds some extra interest to the book!
For me, this is another five-star book. Nicholas paints a vivid picture of the times and places in which her books are set, and yet again I feel like I’ve been transported back in time. It’s so informative and well researched, with an exciting fantasy side that fits in to the setting. I would definitely recommend it to fans of historical fantasy, especially if you’re interested in Celtic history and traditions!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Drawing Bloodlines (The Princeton Allegiant Series Book 1) by Deborah Garland is a paranormal/vampire romance. This story/series is unique compared against some of the other paranormal novels out there. I found the imagery, character interaction and story line refreshing, adventurous and suspenseful, as well as, quite intriguing. Elizabeth is a strong, steady in her convictions and how she perceives life. Alexander is amazingly strong, but yet, at the same time vulnerable which makes him irresistible. Something about this pairing and the sequences that unfold are hypnotizing in their development and intensity. By the time the story closes across the final chapters, everything shifts and comes to an unbelievable climatic ending. Holy batman, this story rocked and was a heck of a kick off for what potential there is for the remainder of the series.

This is a slow story that took a bit to get moving. Once I got to about half way it picked up. I’m not sure the problem but it just couldn’t keep my interest until the story started getting better.

I was so crushed when Dean took off as soon as he heard his ex fiancée showed up looking for him. I mean they have history sure but was he hoping to still marry her? Dang! Typical guy move. Dean was kinda disappointing to me throughout the story. I didn’t really care for his thoughts or actions. He seemed more into his past and not looking for a different future.
Flora (great name) has relationship baggage. She also has a wonderful flower shop. I loved that about her. Her wonderful friend MK works conveniently close and has a coffee shop. They have been besties forever so they had some nice conversations.

While this is a nice story it just didn’t do anything for me. It has perks but overall I just couldn’t get over the short period of time from the Incident to the final. Maybe a six or nine months later chapter would have been better. We could have missed the whining and moping and I would have felt better about the relationship as a whole. Sorry.

Perfectly Played by Holly Kerr is a fun and entertaining book. I loved the play on the whole runaway bride story with both of them not getting married that day.
Holly Kerr is a new author to me and I enjoyed her writing style. It was easy to read and refreshing in the way she created her characters.
My only contention with this book is that I wish the gap between the characters meeting was a little smaller. There isn’t any reason I could put my finger on I just felt like it would have been nice for them to meet sooner than they did.
However this was a great read and I enjoyed the authors work. I will definitely be reading more by her in the future.

The story was fast paced, it was gripping and is another great continuation of this series. I very much enjoyed it.

This is a lovely story that i enjoyed more and more with every page i turned. This did make me sad at the beginning. But more than made up for it later. The story was good and I loved the characters.

Miranda was goofy at times and I wondered what she is thinking. Other times she just had me shaking my head. But overall she gave me hope. Hope that even though someone Is older…she can still have that life she fantasized about living. Sometimes Act Two can be better than the first.

Thank goodness for her girlfriends. While they add nicely to the story they didn’t take anything away from Miranda. I did LOVE the name they gave her ex. It cracked me up! This is a shorter story but It really doesn’t seem that way. I felt like this was a full book with all the love, silliness and irritation that would accompany it. The ending rounded the book out perfectly! I loved it!
