I’ll Love You Tomorrow (Trading Heartbeats Trilogy Book #3) by Julie Navickas – Review by Angela Hayes

I'll Love You Tomorrow (The Trading Heartbeats Trilogy, Book #3)I’ll Love You Tomorrow by Julie Navickas
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

 

5 Stars

 

I’ll Love You Tomorrow is the third book in the Trading Heartbeats Trilogy by Julie Navickas. OK, sooooo after reading the first two books in this trilogy I wasn’t sure Ms. Navickas would be able to keep the momentum going and match the impact of her first two wonderful books…. but I should never have doubted her because this was every bit as good as I could have hoped for, and more.
This is Mitch and Lauren’s story- and what a story they have. Past history connects them – lives entwining since they were children. But that’s not to say that it was all smooth sailing- as rough seas seem to hit them when Mitch begins to withdraw. This causes hurt and confusion. Adding pressure to their relationship. When a fire destroys Lauren’s restaurant that she had poured her energy, heart, and soul into- she feels like her life in crumbling before her eyes. But she’s not ready to raise the white flag just yet- and has one last ditch gamble – So…. Ready. Set. Vegas! What ensues makes for a captivating read!
Again, Ms. Navickas hit me with an emotional walloping. Her characters are so well developed, with their own unique personalities, quirks, and flaws. They are so ‘real’ and believable. It was easy to relate to them- I was connected and invested in them and their story.
This was a bit of a bittersweet read for me as on one hand I was excited to get my hands on the next instalment of this fab series, but on the other I was a little sad as this is the final book in the Trading Heartbeats Trilogy and I wasn’t ready to say goodbye yet, or maybe ever…… But I am excited to see what Ms. Navickas might have in store for us next!
Happy Reading…

Thank you, Julie Navickas!

The Silent RoadThe Silent Road by S.N. McKibben
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is a great story of family, friendship, and finding love in the most unsuspecting of places. This is a MM romance. It has a very Brokeback Mountain feel to it. I loved getting to know Dan and Jake and seeing their relationship develop. And Mimi, the dog, had my heart from the first time we meet her. This is a great read with a few *spicy* scenes and I would highly recommend. I can’t wait to see if McKibben is going to come out with a sequel.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Blood & Ravens is the first book in The Casket Girls series. I love it so much. Greer is so strong and determined. She has a way about her that just seems to draw you in. Theron is not all that he seems at first look. He is acting out of character and he is not sure why. He is being pulled towards Greer. This world that the author has built is wonderful. New Orleans and all of its charm. A variety of characters that are well thought out and interesting. I definitely can’t wait for the next book in this series!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Manipulator’s War ( Ruarnon Trilogy Book 1) by Elise Carlson is confusing and yet entertaining at the same time. I feel dragged into two different worlds but yet feel like I belong in both. It’s the first book that I have ever come across with a main character that is nonbinary. Not sure how or why the character became nonbinary but it does play a role in my opinion. You start off in one world and wind up another, you really feel like you are in the story as well at times.

The Scent of GardeniasThe Scent of Gardenias by Lorraine Haas
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I found this an enthralling read; A new author to me I was not sure how I would settle to it. I must say that I found it a brilliant read and the author paints emotional pictures of the world as it was, with all the ups and downs that life brings.
Starting off in small town America in the early 1940s, the author has us following Margaret Rose; as she grows from a teenager and matures. Following her hopes and dreams. The difficulties and joy that come with large families living in uncertain times, it is not a positive spin on a these times, touching on many hard points, death, marriages of convenience and certainly the lifestyle of the time where life is run from a man’s point of view.
Young love, which quickly comes to an early and unfortunate end, sees young Margie a single mother and war widow, but life must go on and Margaret moves forward, leaving her hard earnt job.
A second unhappy marriage ends when her husband asks for divorce, 2 youngsters and Maggie trying to handle the hardships of low income through war and post war America.
Finally on her feet we find Margaret moving up in the world with her new husband, who is maybe not what he seems. The Italian family show their true colours. Margaret is whisked away to salvation, she returns to her home town.
More trials are thrown her way as she tries to live with her young family on very meagre resources. With children being involved nothing is easy.
Family, strength and lies, hardship, sorrow and joy weave together in this endearing and emotional story.

Toby: The (Mostly) True Story of a Former Bad DogToby: The (Mostly) True Story of a Former Bad Dog by Stephenie Wilson Peterson
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

A cute story about a dog that gets a visit from a mischievous cat. Each new visit brings a new adventure. These new adventures always seem to end badly for Toby, but this does not deter him from having a new one each time the cat tempts him.

This is an easy chapter read for kids. It is easy to follow and entertaining. The story moves along quickly, and each new chapter is a new adventure. The dog is a cute character, and it was enjoyable to see his emotions and thoughts. Although this is an entraining story, I feel that the character of the cat was a bit too nasty, especially when you have young minds that soak everything up.

This is book two in the trilogy and all I can say is she definitely keeps the embers burning in this one because it is hot!!! The m/m/f action had me tearing through this story fast. You don’t have to read the first in the trilogy to enjoy this book although I would recommend it to get the full experience. The characters are rich and complex, and the story delivers beyond just the erotic scenes. India Kell’s delivers once again.

This is the first book in the trilogy and oh boy what a start. It’s erotic and has all the m/m/f action I didn’t realize I was even looking for. Locke and Gage are drool worthy in every way and the honorable/bad boy thing they have going is hot as hell. This will most certainly be a reread for me and a recommendation to others looking for a steamy book with a great plot to boot.

Mafia Elite Series BoxSet: Volume One (Mafia Elite Series Books #1 – 3) by Amy McKinley – Review by Angela Hayes

Mafia Elite Series Box Set: Volume One Kindle EditionMafia Elite Series Box Set: Volume One Kindle Edition by Amy McKinley
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

 

5 Stars

 

This fantastic boxset contains the first three books in the Mafia Elite series by Amy McKinley. Ms. McKinley is one of my favourite authors, and this series is a testament to her talents. This boxset is a wonderful introduction to the Mafia Elite series- with three books in one, hello- #winning.
But trust me when I say that you are bound to develop an addiction to her books and go searching for more. So, you will be happy to know that there are not only more books in this series, but also an extensive back-catalogue of the authors other books too- which are also excellent reading in their own rights.
This Boxset contains No Way Out (Book #1), Blood Oath (Book #2), and Born In Darkness (Book #3). Below are my individual reviews for these books to give you a little taste of what to expect…..

 

NO WAY OUT (Mafia Elite Book #1):
5 Stars
ALL THE FREAKING STARS!!!! OMG!!! Amy McKinley has outdone herself, AGAIN!!!!
No Way Out is the incredible first instalment in the Mafia Elite series by the supremely talented Amy McKinley. I know I keep saying this with every new release of hers, but this is definitely a new favourite for me.
It is a fantastic mafia romance/romantic suspense, with plenty of action, violence, danger, drama, mafia politics, intrigue, tension, chemistry, sizzle, secrets, revenge, and emotion.
I fell for Max and Liliana right from the beginning- they were such great characters- quite complex, fully developed individuals with depth and their own unique quirks and flaws.
I really don’t want to give too much away and spoil the story for you… But will leave you with this little tidbit. Max has an agenda that has taken a lot of time and planning to finetune before he can now, finally, let it all unfold. He has been tasked with protecting his mentor’s granddaughter, on top of his own plans to exact a little revenge and right past wrongs. He never expected that he would be so drawn to the young woman he was sent to protect. Having more in common with her than he first thought. But she is no defenceless flower, as he soon discovers- she’s one kick-butt mafia princess. But with secrets, agendas, politics, and sinister intentions- it’s not long before they are neck deep in a dangerous situation. It definitely made for an intense, suspenseful, edge of my seat read!!! Another gem to add to Ms. McKinley’s crown!

 

BLOOD OATH (Mafia Elite Book #2):
5 Stars

Second book into this amazing series and Ms. McKinley has hit it out of the park again!!! Blood Oath is the second fantastic book in the Mafia Elite series by Amy McKinley. As with the first book, this is a brilliant mafia romance- a romantic suspense story with an action-packed plot, secrets, dramatic developments, mafia politics, intrigue, tension, chemistry, steamy encounters, emotion, and more…
This book continues what we started in book one, but this is Sofia and Enzo’s story (whom we met in book one as supporting characters). I loved all the interconnected details and intriguing threads that Ms. McKinley is weaving through her stories, and series. It makes for riveting reading. I have a new addiction and I can’t wait for my next fix!!!

 

BORN IN DARKNESS (Mafia Elite Book #3):
5 Stars

So, after finishing this and having read most, if not all of Ms. McKinley’s books now, I have come to the conclusion that she could write the phone book and make it addictive reading! Seriously!!! If you have yet to pick up one of her many books, what are you waiting for? You will kick yourself for missing out this long.
Born in Darkness is another gem in Ms. McKinley’s crown- a stellar mafia romance, it is the third book in the Mafia Elite series by Amy McKinley. A masterfully woven romantic suspense story with action, violence, mafia politics, second chances, family dynamics, friendship, chemistry, sizzle, secrets, drama, intrigue, tension, and edge of your seat developments.
This book is Stefano and Emiliana’s story, I was so excited to dive in- and now I can honestly say Ms. McKinley doesn’t rest on her laurels here, she ups the ante yet again, grabbing me right from the get-go and had me flipping the pages to find out what happens, all while proving once again that this series just gets better and better with each new release.
If you haven’t read the previous two books, I highly recommend that you do, as not only are they fantastic stories in their own rights, they also contain important information that will help you better appreciate this story, as well as building a bigger picture.
I love this series and the wonderfully complex characters that take centre stage here. I have a serious addiction to Ms. McKinley’s stories and need my next fix STAT!

Take my word for it- if you love mafia romance, romantic suspense, wonderfully developed characters, depth, and addictive reading- then you definitely won’t want to miss this exciting BoxSet, or series!!!
Happy reading!

Thank you, Amy McKinley!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I love when I start a new series and I start with the first book (I always start with the second or later somehow???)- and, sadly for me (because I NEED more!), there’s only one book in the series so far. This was a fast paced romance and I was HOOKED from beginning to end. Both of the main characters were independent and strong people and thoroughly fleshed out. I love their interactions with each other and the side characters too- it made for a more immersive experience. The story taking place in Italy?? Love it. I am obsessed with Morgan and Vandana- their chemistry is explosive. I felt ALL the emotions reading this! If you need a new romance series: check this one out ya’ll!!!

The Fighter (An Underground Bad Boys Romance, #3)The Fighter by India Kells
My rating: 2 of 5 stars

Juliet and Ten are in a bind and when Ten decides to take a chance at underground fighting their paths cross with Gage. One split decision from Gage turns their lives upside down. Soon the three have the wrong men interested in them. Can Gage find a way to help Juliet and Ten or will the bad guys get to them first?

While I found the storyline of this book an interesting one, I did not fall for the characters. Their story pulls you in at the start, but I quickly found the character development lacking for me. The characters are continually confused which I understand is a major part of the storyline, but it soon becomes annoying. The story keeps changing the direction of the romance and I did not like the build up of the story being a threesome and also highlighting the chemistry between the two men only to go in a completely different direction. In the end I was confused at the direction the romance went after the big buildup and attention paid earlier in the book to the connections between certain characters. The plot moves along at a good pace but ends abruptly and surprisingly for me.

Reigning Hearts: The Complete Series (Books 1-5)Reigning Hearts: The Complete Series by K.G. Fletcher
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

K.G. Fletcher is quickly becoming a favorite author of mine. I read this book set and I have fallen in love with her real-life characters and situations.

This box set contains four full length stories and one novella.

Run to the Sea is a friends to lovers romance. Emmeline and Thomas were childhood best friends then he moved away. After being gone for years now he is back.

Stars Fall From the Sky is a small town second chance romance. Ginger and Jonathon can the let go of the past and over come to make things work? This book has all the emotions.

Sun So Bright is a billionaire heiress/enemies to lovers romance. Fiona has lost herself through the years, can Chris help her find herself?

I’ll See You Again is a Rock star/opposites attract romance. This story is about Nicky and Mac. This will have you running the highest of highs as far as laugh out loud funny but it will also have you mad as a wet hen. This is a great story

A Cold Creek Christmas is a Single dad holiday romance. This is a novella and in my opinion as a humble reader it was too short. I want more of Amber and Gio

Historical fiction is not my go-to genre but I needed a “break book” in between my usual psychological thrillers. I’m so glad I chose this one! The author does such an amazing job with the story, setting, and depth of characters. Margaret Rose is a strong and likable female lead but so many other female characters in this book are strong as well. As the novel progresses, you can even see the true strength of her mother, even though Margaret wants to live a life different from how she was raised. I truly loved this story and recommend it to anyone who normally reads historical fiction or if you’re looking for a break from your usual genre.

This book is fascinating. It’s all about what happens when you have wishes that haven’t been realized and the lengths that a person will go to have them come true. There are so many fascinating characters that drew me right into this story from the very first page. Elodie and Sebastian are craving a better life and they think they have finally found the perfect way to get it. They embark on a journey to find a mythical creature to bring their wishes to life. Will they get what they are searching for or will they find out the meaning behind the saying be careful what you wish for because you just might get it and it might not turn out the way that you hoped and expected that it would. I really enjoyed the way that this story incorporates fantasy, romance, and monsters all in one incredible book.

This book is an amazing illustration of life not just for women but for the country after Pearl Harbor is hit. Historical fiction is one of my favorite genres and this one did not disappoint. It was a very emotional story as the main character is put through tragic event after event. It was also based on the author’s own family history which helped to add to the realism of the story. I did wish to see a little more details in some of the time jumps but it didn’t take away from the story. Highly recommend this to anyone who enjoys historical fiction.

What a ride this book took me on! I found myself experiencing an array of emotions. I was irritated with the main character, Josie. I couldn’t stand her ex husband, Eddie. I was suspicious of the new man Josie was dating, Travis. This book tells us the story of Josie at the start of the pandemic then through it. She is dealing with a crazy ex while trying to raise 2 kids. Then in the midst of all that, she finds out a secret her parents have kept from her. I have a little bit of pandemic fatigue, so I struggled with that part of the book. But let me tell you – I didn’t have anything figured out. I thought I knew who the bad guy was. I had no idea the scope of the end of the story. It is well worth the time to read!

Wow. This story has so many levels to unwrap. First, it was well written. I was immediately drawn to Josie. Her complex character had me feeling sympathetic and questioning her sanity. I can honestly say I was still on the fence about her innocence until the last few chapters. When I began this book
I wasn’t sure how much I’d enjoy reading about a pandemic we are still living in. Although it played a role it was not the focus of this book. This story is filled with secrets, lies, greed and half-truths. At the center of all this is family. I did not expect a few of the twist. I had suspicions of a few people but the depth the betrayal goes is mind blowing. This was a creative yet thrilling way to bring awareness to something that affects all of us (no it’s not the virus) you’ll have to read to find out what it is though. I won’t ruin that for you. 😉

This book had me thinking and making prediction after prediction until the very end. What started out as relatable with recent events quickly turned into a nightmare I would never want to live through. The author did a great job building the characters and diving deep enough to make those twists extremely shocking. While the plot is out there, in todays world, it really makes you think if it’s really that far fetched.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The Last Cabin Girl follows Josie as she is in the process of filing for divorce from her abusive husband. She has secluded herself in a cabin with enough bad energy to keep her husband away from her and her children. While she fights for the end of her marriage, she watches as the coronavirus works its way across the ocean to America. That won’t be the only thing that fills her with terror once a body is discovered on her property. Every single bit of evidence points to Josie being the murderer.

This book is different from anything I have read before. It had action, betrayal, confusion, and twists that left my gaping. Josie is a very strong female character that works hard throughout the book for everything she wants in her life. She isn’t very likable but I’m not sure she was meant to be. She is someone I would avoid being friends with but that’s what makes her the perfect suspect.

My only drawback with the story was that it felt as though there was too much going on. I feel as though there was so much packed into the plot that at times the plots got completely lost. While the author did a fabulous job of tying up all the loose strings at the end, it felt as though there were too many strings. Personally, I didn’t feel as though it was realistic. With all that being said, I did enjoy it when I knew what was going on.

Overall it was a pretty easy read that took me on a rollercoaster. As far as being a thriller, it hit the mark completely!

I have read a few books from this author and she always blows my mind with her writing. This is the third book of the underground bad boys series. You can read this book as a stand alone but there are some previous characters in this story as well. I was excited for this book. I stopped everything and started to read it immediately. I could not put this book until the very end. I can’t wait to see who she writes about next.

Juliet has been fighting since her parents left her. She is now staying with her best friend Ten to survive. Juliet finds herself in the underground because her friend needs to make some money or they are going to lose their apartment. She is shocked when a gorgeous man helps her friend and wins the fight. Juliet is too late and now she is living with the new fighter. She is scared now because her friend has to train for a bigger fight that might take his life. Juliet starts to have feelings for Gage but is he a guy that will settle down for her?

All I can say is OH. MY. This book will knock your socks off and leave you wanting more. This is the ending to the trilogy and while you could get by with reading it as a standalone novel it is a thousand times better reading all 3. This book has M/M/F action and is hot as sin. I’ve read a lot of this type of steamy erotic, but this is one of my favorites. Not only is it good in the layout of those scenes but the story itself is riveting as well. Oftentimes authors will skimp on the plot to pack it full of just the sexual parts, but India Kells has written a book well worth reading even if you wanted to skim over the sexual parts. (Who would want to?!). This will definitely be a reread for me in the future and I cannot wait to see what else she puts out.

The Cruiser (The Hustlers Trilogy, #1)The Cruiser by Rowan Rossler

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The Cruiser by Rowan Rossler is the first book in the Hustler Trilogy. It is a strong start to what promises to be a wonderful series!

This is the story of Vandana and Morgan. Vandana is half of a successful PR company, and Morgan is a wealthy and talented yacht designer from Monaco. He is in desperate need of some positive PR if he wants to land a very lucrative deal with a Saudi Prince.

Vandana appears to have it all–talent, money, and a marriage made in heaven. As they say, not all things are as they appear, even if you are a PR guru. Not many people know, but her life has just imploded, leaving her heart shattered. The job with Morgan seems to come at just the perfect time. She needs this not just for professional reasons but very personal ones as well. She is a survivor, and I loved that about her, yet Rossler also showed us her vulnerable side as well.

Morgan is a woman’s dream of a man, but he does have a playboy reputation, leaving a trail of broken hearts in his wake. However, something about Vandana intrigues him, and spending time with her makes him yearn for more than just a fling. As with Vandana, Morgan is so much more than his good looks and wealth.

The synopsis of the book just scratches the surface. There is so much more than a romance going on between the pages of this sexy romance–many, many secrets that kept me turning the pages! One of my favorite things was the changes and growth of the characters. Ironically, the name of Morgan’s own yacht is Liberte which means “freedom.” In the end, not only do Vandana and Morgan find their own individual freedoms, but some of the secondary characters do as well.

The Cruiser was a fantastic, intelligent romance with great characters and a great setting. I’m looking forward to the other two in the trilogy.
