Auctioned (Billionaire Bodyguards Book 3) by Via Mari – Review by Dawn Brown

Auctioned (Billionaire Bodyguards Book 3)Auctioned by Via Mari
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Bryanna is in a bit of a predicament. She wants her safety but her captors are holding something dear over her head. Thankfully, her aunt is aware she has been taken and has the best searching for her. Damian is the best but he didn’t expect these feelings for Bryanna. He especially didn’t expect Bryanna to run back to her captors to keep what is over her head safe. His job is to get her and what she holds dear to safety and to put her captors where they belong.
Opinion
This is an excellent book. Damian is a total alpha male and Bryanna is new to submission. There is not a lot of sex in it but you get to see a dom introduce his sub to his likes. Damian does explain the difference between what she’s read on the internet and what he likes and that they are not always the same.
The story itself is also good. Knowing what she is trying to keep safe, the reader can empathize with her and see why she kept running back.
This book is part of a series and I have not read any other parts of it. I was able to wade through perfectly fine. I think, though, that I would have enjoyed it more had I read the series up to this point.

This new to me author is definitely a great discovery!
A book where the main character swears off men is always a good recipe for drama. It is the perfect chick-lit book to kick back, relax and enjoy a good book. I can totally relate to her wanting to swear sweats and write books. If only life was that easy.
I will definitely be reading more by this author

Red’s Untangled Tale is a fantastic story about Little Red Riding Hood. Rosalee or Rose has a hard life in her village. She takes good care of her Gran and many of the villagers. The story takes a fun turn when Red meets Rapunzel. Suzanna Lynn does another masterful job of bringing in elements of several children’s stories. I enjoyed this retelling and cannot wait to read the next story in the series.

Sigh what I wouldn’t give to date Heath……
This was such a sweet Romance, the last couple of books I’ve read were a bit on the heavy side, so this was a nice change of pace.
I could really relate with Marlowe’s character and the sweet dynamic between Marlow and Heath was super awesome read. The secondary characters brought something extra to the storyline that to it to a whole new level.

Hook’s Little Mermaid is a fun retelling of the story of Captain Hook. The story had many characters and elements of several children’s stories.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Loved it!!!!!! This book was absolutely adorable, I love the feel of innocence to it as it follows two of the main characters and their developing love story. The book follows a girl who doesn’t believe in love or that good men truly exist, until she meets the one man that changes her perspective, even better its one of the most unlikely of guys. Mixed with a little bit of comedy this Rom Com is definitely chick lit ( lol chick flick but book style).

Twisted Throttle (Satan's Devils MC Second Generation #3)Twisted Throttle by Manda Mellett
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Twisted Throttle by Manda Mellett a five-star read that will twist you in all the right ways. This is number three in the Satan’s Devils MC second generation series and it can be read as stand-alone, but I have read them all and love the world building, the little hints you pick up on and the backstories. Throttle was not what I was expecting, I really didn’t like him at first but soon I started to change my tune. Gwen was such a strong character, and this story will hook you. I really enjoyed the spin of the story; it wasn’t the way you normally see it and that was so well done. As always great writing from this author and I am so excited to see where we will go next.

The SEAL's Temptation (Wounded Hearts #7)The SEAL’s Temptation by Jacquie Biggar
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is an author that I have enjoyed from the first book I picked up of hers. I enjoyed this military romance story. It is a well developed story that has characters that not only bring the story to life but also brings the action. The characters are relatable and kept the story engaging. I enjoyed the suspense they brought to the story. It is fast paced, easy to read and entertaining. This is the story of Maggie, Adam and Frank. All three have their differences but will they be able to put things aside? Not only that Maggie is left to decide where her heart lies. What will fate have in store for these three and will someone die before it is all figured out? This is a great story that I had a hard time putting down. I highly recommend this book and this author.

Scorching Hot Mess by Brooke May a fun five-star read. This author always makes me smile as I read their work, and this was no different. I so enjoyed this story, Willow reminded me so much of someone I know, and she knows I think she is a hot mess. Watching her as she goes on her journey made me laugh so hard at times I snorted. There are so many great characters but Willow was the one for me.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is a dark romance box set that I enjoyed. This is a collection of three stories about Lexi and her journey from dark to light. Each book is well written, engaging and page turners. Lexi is a character that is connectable but also she brought the stories to life for me. The story was an emotional roller coaster but that just added to the stories. Lucca is everything she thinks she needs and wants but is he really that good for her? I highly recommend this box set. I am glad I picked it up and so will anyone who enjoys dark romance stories.

This is a dark story that I loved. This is a story that could cause triggers for some but if you can get past that, this is a really great story. This is a well developed story that pulled me in from the beginning and kept me engaged. It is a page turner that I had a hard time putting down. The characters are relatable and made the story feel realistic. The MC has had nothing but pain in his life and he has tried to run from it. Now there is a chance that his life could change. I really enjoyed this story and what the characters brought to the story. What happens when life hands you lemons? I highly recommend this book, it is worth the pick up hands down.

Shift Happens (New Orleans Nocturnes Book Two) AUDIO BOOK by Carrie Pulkinen – Review by Sabrina St Jacques

I listened to this book and from the get go i was chuckling. It was a good read. I would recommend this one if you like shifters and witches.

This is my first book from this author and i will be looking into her others.

She has a way of making humour come out evenly throughout the book without it going over board. The story kept you interested. A good hook to see to the end.

Even though i haven’t read much in the way of shifter’s with witches it was interesting mix for green eyes.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Electric Temptation by Toya Richardson a thrilling four-star read. This is number five in the Protectors series, and its best to read them in order as they do read best that way. Delilah and Mason will leave you breathless, they have a second chance, but will they get chance to get it. This has magical chemistry and just a great magic overall. Take a journey with Delilah and you won’t be disappointed. I really enjoyed how the story pulled together, I gave it four-stars as it seemed to jump a couple of times, and that detracted from the story. I am sure that it will not bother many, but it did me. I will say this series is just keeps its strength up all the way.

Scorching Hot MessScorching Hot Mess by Brooke May
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Scorching Hot Mess was without a doubt one of the funniest stories I have read in a long time. Brooke May just captured the very essence of a thrilling and captivating read. I was enamoured by Willow and Gun. She was absolutely hilarious and her match was meat with Gun. The charismatic and enigmatic personalities were impossible to ignore, and was totally invested in them pursuing their happily ever after. Excitement was always at the turn of the page. Drama was never far behind. All that a reader could ever want at the tips of all page turning fingers. Willow and Gun were a couple that were meant to be. And the thrills and spills along the way just made their story that much more entertaining. Alcohol and raging hormones are never a good combination, but the level of passion and compatibility was electric. 4 stars

Vengeance (The Journals Trilogy Book Two) Audio Book

By D.M. Earl

4 stars

 

After listening to the first book in the series I was really looking forward to settling down with Vengeance and it didn’t disappoint. Once again the narration was really easy to listen to and I was easily engaged in what I was listening to. I liked that the read time was quite short; I listened to it in 2 sittings. There were some triggers in the story that made it difficult to listen to at times especially as it’s spoken it really does feel like you are listening to someone’s real life. Quinn’s story is quite powerful to listen to and is definitely thought provoking! I admire her strength of character and I am looking forward to seeing where her story goes in the next instalment of this series!

I was excited to read the second in the Untold Stories series as I really enjoyed the first one and this one did not disappoint. After briefly meeting Red in the first book, I was excited to delve into her story and find out her Untold Story. Living in the land of Timbergard, fifteen-year-old Red hunts the woods in the night taking down the deadly super wolves that haunt the forest. After going on a quest with a returned Captain James Hook, nee Shaw, to the ash fields, she encounters a pack of wolves and must run for her life. She stumbles upon a mysterious tower that leads her to question all that she knows about the wolves in the wood. I really enjoy Flynn’s retellings of the classic fairytales. Her world building is brilliant, and the story envelops me. A really enjoyable read.

Forged by Secrets (Deadly Isles Special Ops Book 3)Forged by Secrets by Amy McKinley
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Amy McKinley just amazes me with how well she integrates every book in the Deadly Isles Special Ops series. Forged by Secrets is the third book and involves a plot crossing continents and espionage. Gabriela was a grief-stricken teen that had fled Venezuela after her parents and fiancé died. After changing her name to Malina, she does her best to not allow anyone to get emotionally close. Tyler Hale insisted on breaking through her coldness, and she ended up in a hotel room in Vegas. When she woke, she ran from committing to a relationship. Several weeks later Malina arrives at work only to be intercepted by her coworker, Anna. Upon Anna’s advice and seeing international agents at her work station, Malina runs. Uncertain of where to go, she remembers that Tyler had a house on a family-owned island. Tyler was still not back from a mission in Venezuela, but Malina decided to gamble on hiding in hopes that he would return.

I liked the way McKinley kept the intensity of Malina’s emotions realistic. If I was running and facing the obstacles that she encountered, I would be just as nervous. I know the Navy SEAL retains the appearance of being calm, and Tyler’s demeanor matched this. McKinley added the emotional distress he was concealing, and I wondered if the poor guy was going to end up with an ulcer at the end. The end of the book is open-ended just like the prequels, and I am hoping to continue reading any future sequels. I am confidently rating this a solid 5 stars.

Twisted Throttle (Satan's Devils MC Second Generation #3)Twisted Throttle by Manda Mellett
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Twisted Throttle: Satan’s Devils MC Second Generation #3 by Manda Mellett is where the kids of the original MC members have grown up and taken over roles in the club. This thrilling ride is action packed and full of suspense, with danger and twists and turns that keep you on the edge of your seat. But what I love is the humour and brotherhood, the love and family that Manda gives us amongst the crazy and the intrigue. I am always so engrossed with Manda’s tales that they are over long before I am ready. I love that we got to see what is happening in the lives of old friends in this series.

Throttle is entranced by this knock out of a woman. But one night brings him into a game of cat and mouse of a deadly nature.

Five Stars

Have you ever had that feeling that the nothingness was bliss? That you can’t understand why you’re here? That all consuming feeling that things would be better if you were gone? That’s the emotions this books brings me. I remember being a teen and feeling like I shouldn’t exist. Feeling like I’m just that random character in a story that passes everyone like a ghost on a ship. Even as an adult there are times when life is too much. This story was amazing for the simple fact that we all can relate. Even the most joyful person you know has felt that darkness. As a mom with a soon to be teen daughter I understand and feel the fear. The thought that my daughter could feel this way hurts. Knowing that all you can do is let them know you are here. Man the feels this book brought out is just ugh. If you’re ready to step into your teenage shoes again and get a glimpse of what today’s youth are feeling read this book.
