I give On Viking Seas (Forerunner Series Book 3) by Jay Veloso Batista, 5 stars.
This was such a great epic fantasy book! It put me in mind of A Song of Ice and Fire series. Set in a time when the old gods were still strong and Christianity was still trying to gain a foothold, this is such a wonderful time period to read about. The settings are incredible, as are the characters. We are constantly going back and forth between different storylines and this keeps it quite interesting. You really want to now what happens next, then bam! We are left hanging on the edge of our seat. Then it happens all over again with the next main character. And don’t forget the story itself. There are so many things going on and the author makes every single one of them so engrossing. I could not put this book down. I did not want to stop even to make dinner. There is such detail and emotion in this book, it’s absolutely incredible.
If you are a fan of epic fantasy, I highly recommend this book.

This is the first book in The Relentless Trilogy series. This is a Romantic Military Suspense novel and is 255 pages. This story is meant for 18+. This story follows Grant, a LEO in Boston, and Jordan who is in the Army National Guard. These two meet when there is a crime committed at Jordan’s job and Grant shows up. Que the lightening bolts! There is instant attraction and sparks fly but they are being watched. Multiple threats to Jordan lead Grant racing to find out who is behind this. I cannot say enough about this thrilling romantic read!
Brandy Nacole is a new author to me and she did not disappoint with this book. I Will Bury You is a psychological thriller. The attention to detail is amazing. The plotline is engaging and realistic. The characters are well written, complex, and fully developed. I found myself turning the pages because I need to know what was going to happen next. I will caution you that you do not want to move too fast because you may just miss a clue to what is going to happen. In this book, the main character is a young lady who is really having coping issues. She is lost and losing herself. Those around her are being killed. She needs to get into survival mode because she doesn’t know what is coming up next. I do not want to give too much information. So I highly recommend this book to see if you can find out what is going to happen in the end.

Queen Of My Heart by Nikki Lynn Barrett is the first book in the Life Won’t Wait series. This is a sweet contemporary romance which some lovely characters right at the heart of it. This whole story has a great feel to it. It is emotional and heartwarming. I found myself wanting to keep reading to discover more of the journey that the characters were going on. I thought the author did a great job of developing the story at the right pace. Nothing felt rushed or forced, everything felt like it happened naturally. This is a really well written book which such a great pace about it. As the first book of a new series it is a strong start and has me excited about what else is to come.

This is the 3rd book in the series. Claudia and Henry are very cute . This was an enjoyable and engaging read with a friends to lovers storyline set in Hawaii in 1968. I was swept away by this descriptive Hawaiian Retro romance which featured great characters in Claudia and Henry. I found this a easy and nice book to read.

I enjoyed this young adult adventure story. This is a great story for any young adult who is looking for adventure and they will find it in this book. This is the second book in this series which I highly suggest reading the first book before this one to help get to know the characters better but can be read as a stand alone. This is a well developed story that took me on an entertaining, fun adventure and fantasy. The characters bring the story to life and make it engaging. I enjoyed how they were not only paranormal but also creatures. This is a fast paced story that pulls you into a magical world of friends and enemies. I am happy I picked up this book and I think you will too. I highly recommend this book.

This book is only suitable for those over 18 as it contains adult themes and content which could trigger some readers.
Lexi is a woman who has been to Hell and back again, but the things she experienced there have broken her in more ways than one and she is mired in darkness, but she is also afraid of her own shadow, afraid that she will be dragged back to Hell and she is terrified of what will happen if she is. At night when she sleeps, she has nightmares where she relives everything she has been through, she is closed off and anxious about everything and uses her medication and therapy to try and just survive her everyday life, but when Lucca walks into her life out of the blue, things will never be the same again.
Lexi is preparing for a girls holiday away with her best friend, but before she can get home to pack, she has to finish unpacking the moving boxes in her new physiotherapy office in a leisure centre, the lease has just been agreed and she needs to prepare everything for her business partner when he opens up while she is away. She is also trying to field messages and phone calls from her other friends and family, but she hasn’t got the time or energy to deal with all that drama as well as everything else, however when she does acknowledge them, it leads her into a panic attack and just as she is going full pelt into it there is a knock at the door. She jumps up in shock and turns her back on the Italian voice she hears, but he ignores the request to give her a moment and comes straight over, lifting her chin up to look at him and asks again if she is ok. As she slowly raises her eyes, she cannot help but admire his physique, he is tall, muscly, domineering and very masculine, but the moment that their eyes meet she cannot look away, he is gorgeous and has a warm aura, but the intensity is off the charts, never mind the sex appeal.
After he introduces himself as Lucca, it turns out that he is there for a consultation as his back is hurting him, but she is finding it so hard to concentrate, as she hasn’t been affected in this way by anyone in this way before, however, she manages to get through the consultation, despite trying to ignore the fact that he is most definitely aroused and that it is affecting her in the same way and it terrifies her, especially when he asks her to dinner, but she refuses and just about maintains her professionalism until he leaves. When she eventually finishes work and she goes home and discusses it with her girls, they are all happy that this has happened and help her to get to grips with the feelings, she also deals with her family and the news they have for her, then she focuses on her girls night in and preparing for her holiday the next day.
The next day dawns early and she finialises her preparation, she is looking forward to the three weeks away she has planned, when she does set off on the journey, she is nervous, but excited, especially when they are traveling through the countryside and see the hotel for the first time. They are warmly welcomed with food and drinks and given time to freshen up before heading down for dinner with the other people who are staying there, however, when she entered the room and sees Lucca, her brain goes into panic mode, fight or flight sets in and she does what she always does and runs away. She feels like she is being stalked and just wants to go straight home, however she finds out that it is an accident and that it is actually the hotel owner’s grandson. It turns out that he wants to see her and apologise for the shock, she reluctantly agrees and is happy when her friend supports her with the decision, but when she finds that she finds comfort in his touch and is not acting in her usual way she is shocked, but when she starts to open up and agrees to spend some time with him to get to know him because he is persistent in his requests and this is the start of something neither of them is prepared for.
Will Lexi be able to spend time with Lucca and feel comfortable doing it, will she spurn his advances or will she let her walls down and allow him to see her and everything which she is holding behind those walls and will Lucca be able to accept her as she is, baggage and all, or will this just be something to break out of her shell? This is a story of trauma, emotions, love, acceptance and finding light in the darkness which will pull you into their lives and keep you there as you go on their journey with them.
Revelations is Book one in the Separate Worlds Series. it is an amazing start too, I might add. I absolutely loved it, once started! I legit could not set the book aside until I read it all. I love a good YA paranormal, shifter, romance book. This book has it all, shifters, suspense, high school drama and romance, and of course secrets. Really enjoyed the characters, they’re easy to get to know and understand and they are very connectable. The story-line was amazing and had its share of twists and turns, the more you read. Be warned, this book does end on a cliffhanger. But it is just the beginning in its series, so more is to come I’m sure! I will definitely be reading Book two when it is released. I NEED to know what happens next in the shifter world for sure.

Alpha Bet Guys Box Set by Phoebe Alexander is a light hearted and entertaining set of spicy novellas with each focused on a different guy who meets their girl. The five books were easy to read and were different enough to keep me interested. The bets between the guys are hilarious and each guys has their own time in the spotlight. A very well put together collection full of steamy, witty and flirtatious fun.

Love by Design (The Meraki Series Book 2) by Effie Kammenou is an enemy to lovers romance. With her rich and vivid descriptions, you are transported to picturesque Greece and Italy. I enjoyed the banter between the MC’s which made the story more fun. This book isn’t just a love story, it is also about family and the mystery they uncover.
Our MC’s are both broken & have traumas from their pasts that elicits trust issues. If they can get past that they may just have something good.
Effie once again slips in recipes which make your mouth water in anticipation. Reviewed by @jennadb

The Earl and the Peahen is Jean Wilde’s fifth book in the The Scarlet Salon series. It is a historical romance set in Regency times. I enjoyed the banter between the main characters which made it fun to read. The storyline is refreshing and original and had me laughing.
Jane is not like the rest of her family. She is not a beauty but rather plain. All she wants is a marriage of love. The Earl of Norwich wants a wife. Easy huh! Well you would have thought so.

I loved the complex character of Ann. She’s smart, real, and haunted by a darkness she can barely see the edges of. This story moved at a great pace, and revealed the mysteries bit by bit which kept me engaged throughout. This would have been a great read for a teen (which I am not) but is also interesting for adult readers of YA. Definitely recommend, give it a try!

Safe Harbor (A Logan McKenna Mystery Book 5) by Valerie Davisson is a crime novel that I got sucked into right away. I love finding a great mystery full of suspense and intrigue. First of all, Logan McKenna’s mother shows up at Logan’s home out of nowhere with no explanation. Soon after her mother showing up, Logan heads out on a much needed vacation with her family to Oregon’s Pacific coast. All of a sudden this vacation to relax and enjoy time with family turns into Logan finding herself as one of the suspects of a murder investigation. How could this have happened, Logan is just visiting the town. What could she do to find out who the murderer is?
Mary Ann Jacobs narrated this audio book. Her voice is easy to listen to and I appreciated her use of slightly different tone of voice for different characters. I would be happy to listen to a book that Mary Ann Jacobs narrates in the future.

This is a collection of 3 books that follows the story if Lexi and Lucca. It is a dark romance that keeps you gripped from the first book. The characters are so well written that you can help feeling like your going through every emotion with them. Parts of the story are hard to read due to Lexi’s abusive past but really well written.
Lexi has had a terrible past which has now made her an adult that is untrusted, suffers bad with anxiety and she can’t see any way she will let another man near her.
That is until Lucca comes into her life. The attraction is instant but she is so scared of what could happen between them.
Can Lucca be her light out of the darkness she has been living in? Can Lucca help her overcome her past and open herself to love? Or will Lexi push him away and not give him the chance to prove he can be trusted?
This is a Crime novel and is 156 pages. This is an epic crime read! I am pretty sure I was on the edge of my seat the whole time I was reading this one. You seriously cannot put this down. The way this author wrote the book had your imagination running wild. I found myself having to slow down so I could take it all in. The family lies and secrets would be enough to push anyone over the edge.

I enjoyed this romance story. It is the second book in this series which I enjoyed just as much and highly suggest reading the first book as well. This is a well developed story that has characters that bring life to the story. I had no problems relating to them and they made the story fun and entertaining to read. This is a story about healing from the past and learning to trust in romance. MIa has just landed her dream job except she now has to work with Nicholas, who she has had a crush on. They find themselves on a beautiful adventure of the new publication. They each have a past that they need healing of. Can they find the healing they need in themselves? What will fate have in store for them? I enjoyed them and what they brought to the story. I also enjoyed the mystery part where Mia tries finding out what happened to her grandfather which brought the story to another level. Their growth is great as well as their chemistry. I highly recommend picking up this book.

I enjoyed this book. This the second book in this series which I highly suggest reading the previous book to help your enrichment of this series. This is a well written story that kept me turning pages to the end. This is an engaging story that has characters that brought the story to life on every page. This is about Randy, an author who is ready to take his relationship to another level while he is at Honeybee Lake. What will happen when murder throws a curve ball into his plans? Will he be able to find answers to his questions before it is too late? This is a really great story. The characters really made the story for me and Randy is my favorite. I am happy I picked up this book and so will you be. I highly recommend this book.

I loved this book. This is an author that I have loved and read every book by her and they just keep getting better and better. This one is no different. It is the fourth book in this series which I highly suggest reading the previous books before this one to help your enjoyment of this series. This is a well written story that pulled me in right from the beginning. This is a fast paced story that is engaging and kept me turning pages to the end. In this book we get to see Dereck’s story. He is assigned a task of one of the men he is bodyguard for. What he gets himself into is trafficking which is where he meets Layla. Now he is faced with losing his heart to her and they both find themselves in a situation that could be deadly. I loved these characters and what they bring to the story. Their growth in the story makes it feel realistic. They made the story entertaining to read and I highly recommend it.

This is a promising start for a cozy, young adult adventure on the high seas. You get the classic elements of pirates and treasure maps, while also having the benefit of seeing the story unfold from the young orphan heroine, Evie Waters’s, point of view. It was fun reading about this kind of story from a girl’s perspective, but her overall characterization felt rough at times. She’s stubborn, strong willed and very nerdy, but it would have been more compelling to have a heroine with more dimensions to her personality. My favorite part of the novel was the world building, which we cleverly get to explore more in depth because Evie is an aspiring cartographer and must compensate for her lack of experience with her vast book-learned knowledge.

I would give this book a 3.5 if I could. The cliché characters and predictable plot push this novel towards 3 stars, but the great quality and well roundedness of the writing style is enough to merit a 4 star rating. If you enjoy office romances, especially one that’s dripping with all the stereotypes and tropes that come with the genre, then you’ll get exactly what you’re looking for. However, if you were wishing to get something that offered something different or more, look elsewhere. Regan is definitely a polarizing character. You either love her and enjoy the tension that her personal baggage brings to the romance, or you’ll find yourself pulling your hair out over her issues. I recommend Executive’s Decision to anyone who’s just looking for an easy read.

I usually avoid reading horror/suspense, but I’m so glad I stepped out of my comfort zone for Evil Sushi. Not only is it a creative story full of mystery, suspense and the paranormal, but it’s also an interesting way of socially commenting on the state of the world and marine life conservation. The story is definitely weird, but well written and engaging. I recommend this for anyone who’s looking for something different and thought provoking to read.

King – Review by Jennifer Wolbeck
I love this book! The story completely drew me in from the beginning, and I fell in love with all the characters. Jacob was super annoying, I was getting really mad for poor Madison, and the fact that he goes against pack law not once but twice is also slightly concerning. Zach and Emily are the sweetest together, but the way Zach treats Emily towards the end when the big bomb was dropped had me angry. I can understand why he would be upset but it is always better to talk things out instead of walking away and avoiding it. It also seem as the end he gets all up in his feelings and might make the worst decision he could regarding his and Emily’s future relationship. I was more invested in Jacob and Madison’s relationship than the others but still want to know what will happen. I can not wait until the next book comes out, I need to know what happens!
This was the perfect sequel to the most adorable novel. This book made my heart happy. I loved watching Cecily grow into an amazing person. The ups and downs, the emotions running rampant, oh my goodness I loved this book. This is the perfect introductory young adult romance novel. 7/10 would recommend!

Sure As Hell by Naomi Valkyrie is the fourth book in the Life Is Hell series. This is an absolutely brilliant series and this book is just another fantastic addition. I was instantly hooker when I started reading this book and felt like I connected with the characters straight away. By the end of this book I definitely think it had become my favourite one so far. I love the way this author creates her stories. I find them to be so compelling and really imaginative. Each book has been exciting. Whenever I get a new book by this author I have to read it straight away. I thought this book was amazing and so well written and I am already so excited for whatever comes next.

This was a great book!! I was super disappointed when it ended, and with a cliffhanger at that! I enjoy books about the supernatural world and this one was not a disappointment.
The characters were lovable and struggled with not only normal high school issues, but learning how to deal with their legacies. I think puberty is hard enough without having to deal with if you are a wolf, witch, or dealing with vampire enemies.
I am definitely looking for the next installment of this series!!
