Flirty DancingFlirty Dancing by J.D. Frettier
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Flirty Dancing: A Spicy Romantic Comedy about the Afterlife is the 3rd book in the Green Room Chronicles series by JD Frettier. While it can be read as a stand alone book, they series complement each other and have overlapping characters. They are all short and easy to read, and are funny and entertaining. The series focuses on what happens in the afterlife, with this book specifically focused on Kitty. Kitty is a young mom, recently remarried to the love of her life.She is finally at a good place, owns her own business, when she dies on her stripper pole. She finds herself in the Green Room, purgatory, and is taken under the wing of the main characters from book 1 and 2, Bonnie, Dee and Linda, along with some new characters. With their help, she returns to earth to plan the birthday present of a lifetime to her husband Sam. I recommend this series to anyone who is not easily offended. It is hilariously entertaining.

Little Miss Eyes of Blue by Holly Tierney-Bedord – Review by Heidi Eich Woodring

Little Miss Eyes of BlueLittle Miss Eyes of Blue by Holly Tierney-Bedord
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Little Miss Eyes of Blue by Holly Tierney-Bedord is a prequel to the stand alone book called The Woman America Loves a Latte. Veloura’s parents are Paul and Marla and the story starts out with how they met and married. Paul’s family was not fond of her and never showed to the wedding. Paul wants to make it in the country music scene and fails until he writes a song about his daughter called “Little Miss Eyes of Blue” The family goes on vacation to celebrate and this is where Marla finds drugs and starts the downfall of this little family. Paul finds and falls in love with a younger woman, and disappears. Marla doesn’t raise her daughter well and has a trail of loser men around Veloura. She learns her father died and finally her mother gets help for her addiction but Veloura still finds herself judged for the mistakes of her parents. As her life can’t seem to get worse she learns that her mother died from an overdose. As the book comes to an end we see that Veloura also will make the same mistakes as he mother when it comes to her love life.
The book was hard to read as the life that Veloura was handed was a rough one for a child. She was not given a life that would show her to be a decent person and didn’t bring anyone into her life to show her the right path. My heart broke for her and I wanted to get inside this book and smack her parents. I read the book The Woman who America loves Latte and I am glad that is how I read it. I enjoyed reading this book and highly recommend it!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The Woman who America loves Latte by Holly Tierney-Bedord is a FUN read to get lost in. Veloura hasn’t always had an easy live and has followed her into adulthood. She was settling so much less then she deserves. Almost accidently, Veloura lands a job that allows her to be a spokesperson for a coffee chain and allowing her to travel around the country. Her future could be so lively but her dark past seems to follow her no matter where she goes.
Holly has given us an amazing story with amazing characters. Each character introduced whether big or small was complex and always made the story that much interesting. The book gives you drama, suspense, and intrigue that really draws you in which as A READER I find very important in any good book. I give this book 5 stars and so look forward to reading more from this amazing author!!

Autry and Beth’s story is sweet, romantic, emotional and perfectly steamy! I loved everything about their story, and I loved the flow, there was always something going on that kept me highly entertained.

I can’t wait to read more from this author, and I would absolutely recommend this series to anyone looking for their next romance read!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Drawing Bloodlines is Book 1 in The Princeton Allegiant Series a new series by author Deborah Garland. This is my first read from this author and after experiencing this read, it most certainly will not be my last. I would love to read more from this author whether that’s other books or more from this series, I can’t wait to see where she takes it!

Its been a while since I read a vampire read, and boy this didn’t disappoint. It has elements of what you already have read or know about vampires, but it also has its own spin and take on the Vampire world. To me, this book was a mentally visual read! I loved the characters, the storyline and even the twists that are thrown at you along the way. This book was captivating, thrilling and entrancing from the beginning until the very end. I absolutely loved Alexander – he was everything and more, I could totally understand the impact he was having on Elizabeth as he made an impact on me. This book has elements of danger, action, romance, steaminess and pure passion. This was an excellent read from start to finish, it flowed effortlessly from chapter to chapter and from each being in dual POV’s. I loved that we got to experience what our main characters were really thinking and feeling, it made you understand them more and then, in turn, love them even more.
I’m so glad I got to experience this read, and enjoy following Elizabeth & Alexander’s journey to what I hope will be the Happily Ever After they both deserve.

I can’t wait to see what else this author bring to this series, but until then do not miss this read!

Heart of Stone: Emery & Jackson (Heart of Stone Series Book 1) by Chiquita Dennie – Review by Angela Hayes

(Heart of Stone Series Book #1) Emery&Jackson(Heart of Stone Series Book #1) Emery&Jackson by Chiquita Dennie
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

3 ½ Stars

Heart of Stone: Book #1: Emery & Jackson is the first book in the Heart of Stone Series by Chiquita Dennie. Ms. Dennie is a ‘new-to-me’ author, so I was looking forward to reading her story and seeing what it was like. It is a contemporary romance that had drama, funny moments, chemistry, and passion.
Emery caught her (ex) boyfriend in bed with her best friend. Double betrayal! She’s very hurt. But she also wants to put it all behind her, as she has a ‘secret’ that she needs to deal with. She’s definitely not interested in relationships- no-strings hook-ups will suit her just fine. But, will a persuasive, sexy, wealthy, alpha-type male be able to change her stone cold opinion, get her to let down her defences, and to take a chance on love again? You really need to read this book to discover all the sexy details for yourself.
Good character development, interesting characters with quirky personalities. I loved Granny! Jackson is alpha-male swooniness!! Emery is all woman, and is perfect for Jackson. Minor issue- some of the sex scenes were a little awkward for me, the descriptive words seemed a little old fashioned, or out of place. (eg: …”her juices bury(?) my c**k as we slowly rock back and forth….”). Maybe it’s just me?
Looking forward to seeing what’s in store for Jordan & Damon in Book #2.

Thank you, Ms. Dennie!

Vantage Point (A Gray Ghost Novel Book #4) by Amy McKinley – Review by Angela Hayes

Vantage Point (Gray Ghost #4)Vantage Point by Amy McKinley
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

 

Vantage Point is the fourth book in the Gray Ghosts series by Amy McKinley. It is Hawk Ares and Stella Klein’s story- and is a fantastic, adrenaline fueled, action packed romantic suspense. It has drama, violence, gunfights, showdowns, grudge matches, hidden agendas, suspense, mystery, twists, intrigue, danger, gripping situations, thrills, and plenty of emotion. I was on the edge of my seat the whole way through, devouring the pages to discover what was happening, holding my breath, and being catapulted from one intense moment right into another. I won’t go into detail, because I really don’t want to spoil it for you. I recommend going in ‘blind’ and getting swept up by all the excitement.
I was hooked from the beginning- caught up in all the action, thrills and danger- right there with the character’s experiencing everything alongside them. I adore this series, everything about it- Ms. McKinley out does herself every time, with each new release even better than the one before it.
This could be read as a standalone, but I recommend reading the rest of the series to get all the backstories, character information, and other pertinent details. As well as the other books being fantastic stories in their own rights! You can’t go wrong with Ms. McKinley at the wheel!
Can’t wait to read the next book!!!!

Thank you, Ms. McKinley!

Broken Pieces by Judith B. Pinkard – Review by Angela Hayes

Broken PiecesBroken Pieces by Judith B. Pinkard
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

 

“I have a story to tell. It is unbelievable, yet true. A story that can make people rethink their belief system. It is a story that needs to be told—a tragic, yet redeeming story. I’ll start my book tomorrow. It comes to me that my beginning started like this storm. Even from conception, it wasn’t planned—one of those decisions or choices that shapes lives. It happened somewhere, sometime in February 1950.”

Broken Pieces is the debut novel by Judith B. Pinkard. It is a somewhat harrowing biography- and was thought-provoking, heartbreaking, and entirely memorable. There were parts that were quite emotional- my heart broke for her. The authors account covers her life’s journey- from her miraculous beginnings, through her unsettled childhood, dysfunctional family environment, abandonment, insecurities, turmoil, pain, mental illness, hope, faith, second chances, choices, and much more.

“Choices. Life is all about choices. Some are other people’s, and some yours, but a choice is always involved. The wrong choice can change the course of your life forever. Like tornadoes, the wrong choice may occur unexpectedly and be devastating.”

I wasn’t sure if I would ‘like’ this book when I picked it up, I thought it would be far too sad and depressing- and don’t get me wrong, there are parts of the story that ARE very sad, and quite depressing- but it was the thread of faith and hope that really ‘lifts’ this story- giving it a redeeming and inspirational quality.

“And once the storm is over, you won’t remember how you made it through, how you managed to survive. You won’t even be sure, whether the storm is really over. But one thing is certain. When you come out of the storm, you won’t be the same person who walked in. That’s what this storm’s all about.”—Haruki Murakami

The quotes at the beginning of each chapter helped to set the tone for the chapter, and added to the overall storyline. There were gory details, heart-stopping and quite shocking moments- but these moments helped to set the scene and the ‘miracle’ that happened amongst the devastation. The photos at the end certainly cemented the whole story.

“Sometimes the brightest people fight with the ugliest demons.”

I appreciate the author’s candour and applaud her bravery in sharing her journey.

Thank you, Ms. Pinkard!

Things We Lost (Loving Locksley Series Book 1) by Shae Banks – Review by Angela Hayes

Things We Lost (Loving Locksley Book 1)Things We Lost by Shae Banks
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

3 ½ Stars

Things We Lost is the first book in the Loving Locksley Series by Shae Banks. This is my first book by Ms. Banks, so I really didn’t know what to expect when I started the story. The book had shown up on my recommended book feed, and I thought the synopsis sounded interesting, so I one-clicked and jumped in. This is a contemporary/second chance romance- and is a quick and easy read.
Nathalie Johnson is on a ‘girls-night-out’ with her friend, when she encounters the man who left without so much as a backward glance and a broken heart 13 years ago- Jason Locksley. Much has happened in that time, but it still stings a little and she’s still wary of him. There are unresolved issues between them. But he’s nothing but persistent and manages to convince her to have coffee with him anyway. But persistence and determination win out and as you have probably guessed by now, he gets his second chance. But do they really have a chance of making things work after all this time? Will some misunderstandings tear them apart again?
This was a sweet story. Ms. Banks used a tried and tested formula for her story, and wrote quite well- I just found it to be a little predictable- and it didn’t really WOW me like I was hoping for.
I am looking forward to exploring some of Ms. Banks other works to see what else she can do.

Thank you, Ms. Banks!

Flirty DancingFlirty Dancing by J.D. Frettier
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Flirty Dancing: A Spicy Romantic Comedy About the Afterlife by JD Frettier is the third book in the Green Room Chronicles. This book can be read as a stand-alone although it are introduced to the Green Room from book one.
As with the previous two books this story is highly entertaining. This time it is Kitty who ends up in this delightfully new version of purgatory and is left to navigate her way through this new world. Clearly there are antics and hilarity as she begins her whole new journey.
As usual the authors writing style did its job in grabbing my attention and holding on tight. I always find myself chuckling about something that happened in the book a couple of days later. They are light hearted and fun and are the perfect books to turn to when you need to unwind and switch off from “reality”. I am looking forward to seeing what might be next.

Flirty Dancing : A Spicy Romantic Comedy About the Afterlife (The Green Room Chronicles Book 3) ​by J.D Frettier is a paranormal fantasy that is original and quirky. With plenty of tongue in cheek laugher along the way ensuring it is a magical read. It is witty and funny, and oh so entertaining, just as the first two where. J.D. has certainly written something that is a brilliant concept and made it work so so well. It is as wonderful and clever as it is endearing and the women are just hysterical and had me laughing out loud from start to finish.

Kitty is in the prime of her life with two children and a wonderful husband but all her hope and dreams are no longer a reality. She is now an official member of the Green Room, where she meets the delightful ladies, Dee, Bonnie and Linda, that show her, her new way of life and the fun begins.

This is a fun and quirky look at the afterlife and one brilliant series.

Vantage Point by Amy McKinley a four-star read that will point you in the right direction. This is the forth novel in the Gray Ghost series and I have read them in order and enjoyed them as such as they each show a different side of the story. This time its Hawk who is the team member we focus on, and he has more sides in this story that a cube, he is quiet but has so many different ways about him. Each of the Gray Ghost men are amazing, but hawk just seems to be deeper than the others, Stella is a great woman and deserving of a great man.

This is the second in the series and we follow Evie. She’s a vampire actress who we met in the last book. She works with Catherine on getting jobs. There she met Ryan…a human. They hit it off and the rest is history…or is it?

I enjoyed this story. I liked Evie in the first book so I was glad to see her get her own story. Not only that but we get to learn a bit about her and her past. The writing is nice and flows along. The mystery really kept me hooked. This easily kept me interested and before I knew it The story was over. This is my second book by this author and in this series. I see the next one is out…I wonder what’s going to happen in that one.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Devil’s Backbone is the fifth book in the Wild Beasts series by T. Birmingham. This story can be a stand alone story but it is recommended that you read the other books in order. This will give you more insight to the characters and give meaning to what is going on in this particular story. Devil’s Backbone is a paranormal fantasy romance with some mystery mixed into the fold. Tess and Ben are the main characters who are fated mates. Tess has been having some weird scents around here. It is as if she is smelling body parts that is showing up out of nowhere. In the meantime Ben is coming around as well. Ben needs to get Tess to look at him in a different way and not as a bad guy. Another thing about T. Birmingham I love is the way she lays roots that intervenes with the characters which makes me feel closer to Jess and Ben. Will Jess and Ben figure everything out or will it push them apart? Only the book will tell you. .

Will a second chance lead them to happiness? Read this book to find out. I enjoyed the bantering that goes back and forth between Nathalie and Jason.

Gamble on a Cowboy was a fabulous read! I have read stories by Melissa Keir previously and I knew I loved her writing but I was also really looking forward to reading work by D’Ann Lindun – a new to me author! Well I think I can definitely add her to my new list of authors to love! I have a soft spot for western romance stories and both of these definitely hit the spot!! Both of these novella’s would have been equally as amazing as full length novels – I was impressed with how the authors managed to cram so much into their short stories, I wasn’t left wanting more, well I was only because they were brilliant reads and not because I felt like I was missing anything. I really liked all of the characters, I thought that they were all really likeable and I connected with them all.
I would absolutely recommend these two wonderful short, sweet romance reads, I don’t think you will be disappointed!

Oh my…I loved this story, and this author transported me right into the story and I could clearly picture everything in my mind. I sincerely want to go live and work on this ranch.

I loved the storyline and how that progressed and was handled, I literally read this book in one sitting because I could not put it down once I started. It flowed perfectly and made me smile on more than one occasion. It also hurt my heart in other occasions and I couldn’t imagine how Maggie was able to function as she had, especially when someone from her past walks in the room..Wolf, the main she believes is completely responsible for her sadness in life.

I loved Wolf and thought what he had been through in life was awful as well, even if for different reasons.

This story was so awesome and had a sort of perfect sweetness to it that never felt over the top. I was really sad when it was all over, and the ending was simply spot on. I also can not wait to read many more books by this author, I truly loved her style of writing.

Highly Recommend!

UGH!! This author!! When I finished this book and proceeded to pick my kindle up from where I threw it I could only imagine her sitting there when she finished this book with one of the most evil laughs thinking “Yes..this will do nicely” LOL Marie Skye always has a way of making every book I read by her a favorite. I love her no nonsense approach to writing and the way she never adds in any unneeded fluff, you know every word you read is important to the storyline in one way or the other.

For the record this author is among my favorites of all time and I will always read whatever she comes up with…Im just kind of hoping she comes up with the next book in this duet like maybe Today? OMG!!

I loved this story, I loved the writing and the uniqueness of the storyline and the time hops were done in a way that allowed me to never get confused, they actually always came right when I needed them. I read this in one sitting and since it has been awhile since I’ve read one of this authors books it made me want to jump back in to all of them and reread.

It goes without saying I can not wait for the next in this series and will be the first in line the second it is released.

LOVED IT!!

The Woman America Loves a LatteThe Woman America Loves a Latte by Holly Tierney-Bedord
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

A great read about reinvention. Veloura is a young woman from a troubled past and an angry ex fiancé. When her friend gtes her a chance at a job for a coffee shop, she umps at the chance. Claiming to be Vienna Merriweather, she gets the job without any clue to what the role is. Going for it, she finds herself on a wonderful adventure of new opportunities. But when the past rears its head, it threatens this new life. Can you ever escape your past?
A great read. Well developed plot with twists and turns. Well developed characters like Veloura ambitious but not believing in herself or Suzie as a fun friend but also kind and loving. Great acst of supporting characters like the supportive boss Dwight or the over helpful Tommy or the kind Caprice. A great villainous figure in Thunder as vindictive but his petty complaints and strange plans made him across a little melodramatic which could be toned down to make a great character,
I loved the visual detail throughout the novel like with the interview in the large room with the desk and Velouras black tap shoes and colourful clothes contrasting with the pale room perfectly and a realistic and funny depiction of an interview. Or the TV show later on with its bright lights full of life and people and excitement. Or the landscape around her with its rolling hills and wide roads with the little red coffee cup car for a sense of adventure wonderfully written.
I also liked the use of dates and times in chapter titles for the sense of a fast paced novel.
Veloura’s reminiscences about her mother were written well and emotive and didn’t dsitarct from the narrative of the present. The switch of perspectives worked well to display the different points of view and was easy to follow with names in chapter titles to make it clear who had the narrative. However, it felt like there were too many of these to keep track of. Perhaps if this was reduced to ust four like Thunder, Vee, Eugene and perhaps Suzie this would keep the reader engaged. Overall, a great read and I would give it four stars.

Devil’s Backbone (Wild Beasts Series Book 5)
By T. Birmingham

Devil’s Backbone is the fifth book in the Wild Beasts series by T. Birmingham. Ok so far this has been an awesome series, but on saying that I don’t think this book is as good as what the others have been. Probably needed a little more interaction with the characters of the book. However, I did like the main characters in this book. So, this book centres around Ben and Tess.
Ben:
Is the strong one that sees it as his thing to keep everyone together. But what is going on that he now starts to feel rather unsettled? There are missing people and their cases are popping up constantly.
Tess:
Has been hiding from other people for as long as she can remember, these people were meant to be the ones that loved her. So, because of the life she has led she turns to books for comfort.
As with the other books in this series there is a lot action, but like I mentioned before with more interaction between the characters, I feel the storyline would have been better. However, you would be crazy if you miss this series.

Flirty Dancing: A Spicy Romantic Comedy About the Afterlife (The Green Room Chronicles Book 3)
By: JD Frettier
5 out of 5 stars

The story Flirty Dancing: A Spicy Romantic Comedy About the Afterlife (The Green Room Chronicles Book 3) by JD Frettier is a book that I loved reading. Once I started I couldn’t put it down. The dialogue and interactions are at times emotional and had me laughing out loud. I loved reading about Kitty Eatin. She is a woman who is strong and independent. She has found herself in The Green Room. It is here that she has new experiences and finds friendship. She also has a wish, to reconnect with the love of her life. Will Kitty succeed? Read this book to find out. Kitty is a character that I found myself rooting for. I enjoyed that some of the characters from the previous stories also make an appearance. Don’t miss out on a book that had me trying not to fall off the couch laughing and also had moments that warmed my heart. Highly recommended reading.

5 out of 5 stars

The story Reset to One (Paranormal Talent Agency Book 2) by Heather Silvio is a book that I loved reading. It has romance, the paranormal, and mystery. It was a fun story to read. I loved reading about the characters of Evie Jones and Ryan Walter. He is insistent that his best friend is being framed for murder. She has agreed to help him investigate. The appearance of her ex-husband is an unexpected complication. Will Ryan and Evie solve the murders? There is an attraction that is growing between Evie and Ryan. What does the future hold for them? Read this book to find out. This story is suspenseful and had me wondering what was going to happen next. It has characters that are brought forward from the first book. Evie and Ryan are characters that I found myself rooting for and wanted them to succeed in their investigation. I also couldn’t help but want them to find happiness. I enjoyed how the book combines both the paranormal and human world. Don’t miss out on a story that you won’t be able to put down until you finish the last page. Highly recommended.
