The Wolf’s Shadow (The Lycanthropy Files Book 1) by Cecilia Dominic – Review by Julie Johnson

The Wolf's Shadow (The Lycanthropy Files #1)The Wolf’s Shadow by Cecilia Dominic
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Joanie Fisher has just watched her life’s work go up in flames, along with her relationship. One of those, she shouldn’t have been involved in while the other is even questionable! Not long after the devastating losses, she learns that she’s inherited her grandfather’s estate…which means she’s suffered yet another loss. Does death just follow this girl?!?!

Joanie soon finds out there is more to this manor than she ever expected. Lots of strange things start happening. And the people? Are they people? The clues left in the manor bring even more questions as she tries to figure out why she’s inherited this work of art.

I found this book to be entertaining. It kept my attention as I was trying to figure out the situation in my mind as I was reading. I loved the details given about the manor. I’d love to see something like that in person! There was a lot of romantic entanglement that I thought got in the way of parts of the story but wasn’t a complete distraction for me. I also didn’t realize that a certain element included in this story wasn’t inspired by a recent event, as this book was written a few years ago. That was probably my most favorite part of this book but in trying to keep from any spoilers, you’ll have to read the book to find out what I’m talking about.

I’m looking forward to reading the next book in this series.

Blood & Ravens (The Casket Girls Series Book 1) by A.D. Brazeau – Review by Shelly Kittell

Blood & Ravens: A dark, paranormal romance (The Casket Girls Book 1)Blood & Ravens: A dark, paranormal romance by A.D. Brazeau
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This was a fascinating story. The last thing Greer remembers was being on the streets of Paris. When she wakes, she’s on a filthy boat with lots of girls heading for a convent in New Orleans to get married off. At least that’s what they think. Theron and the others come in the night while they are sleeping. The others barely remember anything but Greer, somehow, remembers Theron visits. Greer tries to get to the bottom of this mystery as Sister Francis is having the girls meet the men they will be marrying. Nothing is as it seems. There are secrets everywhere. Plot twists will get you when you aren’t looking. This is a story that will get you when you aren’t expecting it. Vampires, Demons, and a few other surprises just make this POP! One of the best paranormal stories I’ve read in a bit. The characters aren’t all sugar coated and agreeing with everything. There are several characters like Sylvie that show their strength as they story goes along. Greer shows how much courage, resilience, and power she has. She is totally putting together a rebellion. Theron shows his love for Greer. The story was very good. The plot twists were in there so well that you didn’t see them coming. BAM, plot twist! These girls are butt kickers and survivors. The whole tone of the story is surviving. I highly recommend this series. This is book 1. I can’t wait to get book 2.

Everwood Plantation by Stacy-Deanne – Review by Jess Dimmock

Everwood County PlantationEverwood County Plantation by Stacy-Deanne
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

A tough female lead, enemies to lovers, clash of history romance. Zenni is our female lead who is fighting for her family’s history through a slave plantation in our little Georgia town of Everwood. Colton, our male lead and trying to destroy the plantation to “break the chains” of history holding back the town.
This is our conflict and throughout the book we get attraction that builds into something more. Yet held back by the single conflict that is the basis of the tie that binds our characters together.
There is a lot to like about this book. The characters are strong, and the history of the plantation comes through beautifully. There is heartbreak in the past that shapes our characters that feels a little flat, but it still feels close. The scenery and setting could use a bit more fleshing out, but not so much that you don’t feel like you can almost recognize the town from an old memory.
While not a “rip your heart out” love story, this one will definitely keep you rooting for our leading lady!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book is my type of book. It drew me in from the beginning and I just loved it. There is just so many twists and turns. You wouldn’t expect it to end the way it did. I love reading books where you can’t predict the end and this story does an amazing job of that. Josie the main character was my absolute favorite. She goes through things that are related to real life and that’s what made me love her and made her my favorite.

The True Purpose of Vines (The Winemakers Book 1) by Giovanna Siniscalchi – Review by Shelly Kittell

The True Purpose of VinesThe True Purpose of Vines by Giovanna Siniscalchi
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is a 5 star read. A beautiful location that blossoms with vines full of grapes and flowers. Unfortunately, there is a plague going around among the grapes (which is a fear). Julia is trying so hard to keep and improve her her vineyards. It is her legacy for her son (a Portuguese tradition). Griffin is an Englishman sent to snoop and make sure she is running things right. Sparks ignite but can they overcome culture differences? I loved this book because it was so well written. The descriptions made you feel like you were there in the vineyard or on the casa with them. The people, oh my, they were characters of their own. Aunt Rosie feels like a bossie drama queen but Julia didn’t want to hurt her feelings. Julie has such a caring and compassionate heart. Griffin felt like he could be good but it took a while for it to show. I felt the story really showed how things kind of intertwine. Can the culture intertwine? That’s the big issue. This is a beautiful historical romance that leaves you feeling good. I highly recommend it.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I just had to give this book a read when I glanced over the summary. Upon reading it, just like the characters, I had strong opinions about the plantation and the story itself until it unraveled in front of my very eyes through the lens of the characters. I surprised not only myself but the author captured different opinions with the way the characters expressed their opinions and stories but I haven’t always been a fan of BWWM and with books like these, I’ve surprisingly grown to love them. They’ve taught me lessons I can’t believe I’m still learning in life through reading about them. This book will have you questioning yourself in not just the story but in the very way everything unravels which makes this just the read to delve into during your downtime like I did.

5/5 Stars

The Wolf’s Shadow: An Urban Fantasy Thriller (Lycanthropy Files #1) by Cecilia Dominic

This is the first book I’ve read by the author. The Wolf’s Shadow is a great read that will have you hooked from the beginning. It’s the first book in the Lycanthropy Files Series and a must read!

Joanie finds out that her grandfather is dead and has left everything he owns to her. She also learns that he’s been keeping an eye on her and her career from afar. Now she’s learning the family secret and might be able to help. The quote I chose for Joanie is: “That you’ll be there with me. I know sometimes I’m going to want to kill you, especially when your animal brain is taking over, but I need you here.”

Leo may be new to town, but he’s there for a good reason. Dr. Fischer just might be the answer to the CLS. Now he might just have his chance of being with someone who understands him. The quote I chose for Leo is: “After I met you, and you were so feisty with Kyra, I couldn’t help but fall for you. And then you never let my wild moods intimidate you. It was like you saw beyond all the CLS stuff. You could say I was your greatest admirer. Still am.”

Highly recommended for Werewolf Thriller lovers

This book had a great premise. With my love of all things medical and supernatural, it was a well blended story that kept my attention from beginning to end. Joanie, the main female lead in the story, is strong beyond words although she thinks of herself the opposite way. This book is a mystery from the beginning. I recommend not rushing through it as it is jammed with clues you can not miss. I was guessing until the very end. The suspense will keep you reading the mystery will keep you wondering who is lying and who can be trusted. I thoroughly enjoyed this book.

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

Another new author for me, I read this story because I had two friends that insisted I must read it. They told me I would love that it took place during WWII, and they know I love books with history. They were not wrong. This was a phenomenal read. I honestly did not want to put it down. The author has an amazing way of describing all the feelings and attachments going on with and around the main character. She had all my emotions going. I laughed, cried, felt angry, and struggled along with her choices and decisions. And her description of the war going on while the character was falling in love was beautiful. If war can be beautiful, this was it. And that’s hard to do with all the sadness and anger going on around you. I highly suggest you pick this book up. It’s not one to pass by.

The Cruiser (The Hustlers Trilogy, #1)The Cruiser by Rowan Rossler
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The Cruiser is a steamy romance that takes us to Monaco and the life of luxury. Vandana is a PR agent who is hired to maintain Morgan, a yacht designer who needs to extinguish his playboy ways in order to obtain a Saudi Prince as his client. The first meeting of these two sets the tone for the entire story; extravagance and desire. I did enjoy the story and that the author added details to each character throughout the story. Vandana has some fantastic friends and Morgan’s family is so charming and lovely. Looking forward to the next in this series.

The Cruiser (The Hustlers Trilogy, #1)The Cruiser by Rowan Rossler
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

This book was decent and had some good spice but I couldn’t get myself to care enough about the Yacht talk and PR drama. It all just went right over my head so those parts bored me but the drama, spice, and romance kept me going. I really enjoyed the dual POV because the male perspective in romance books is always better IMO. Morgan was definitely a sexy successful player bad boy while Vandana was the has-it-all-together perfect seeming woman and I loved watching them break down each other’s walls and seeing the struggles each of them face yet they still admired and adored each other despite their flaws. I absolutely was a sucker for every time Morgan defended or protected Vandana because how could you not love a sexy ‘I don’t care about anyone’ type of man who shows you he cares about you by punching a guy right in the face for you in the middle of a business event. And don’t even get me started on his speech at the end because I absolutely cried at the sweetness of it all. I only gave 3 stars because I was personally bored with the theme of boats and PR but besides that, this was a great story.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I really enjoyed this historical romance. The author does an amazing job with the writing to actually transport you to Portugal. You feel like you are there seeing the sights and smelling and tasting the wonders it offers.

I love our leading lady Julia. She is a very strong lady who has had to overcome a lot to keep hold of her port wine business in a world that only sees men as capable for the job. Julia’s determination and passion comes through in this story as she fights to prove she is just as good as any man and save her sons legacy.

Griffin has been sent to visit Julia to see about money that was lent to expand the business. He goes there with one purpose and the thought of finding someone who would steal his heart isn’t that purpose.
However the heart wants what it wants and Griddin and Julia’s story proves to be just as passionate as Julia is about her wine. However things are plain sailing and when secrets come to light and decisions made is the couple’s love going to be strong enough for them to survive or will it tear them apart.

The Fighter (An Underground Bad Boys Romance, #3)The Fighter by India Kells

This final installment in the series was exactly what I was hoping for. To be honest, the end of the epilogue really brought tears to my eyes. I wasn’t expecting to become as connected with some of the characters as I did, and to see it all sewn up in the sweetest way was brilliant and not once do I feel that this author lacked in her writing style, character building, nor the ability to make everything come ( I’d spell it differently, but that would be a little much for an online review,) and I haven’t felt this level of loss at the end of a series in a bit.

Juliet and Jonathan’s story is heart-warming, and proved that chivalry truly isn’t dead, even in situations where it’s doubted that it could be alive and well. Juliet cares deeply for her best friend, Ten, and has been in love with him for as long as she can remember. Ten very much feels the same way, but it isn’t until Gage enters their lives and brings a whole new world to the surface, allowing for truths to be found and told, and for all three of them to experience a first in life experiences, together and separately. Ultimately, I think this one was my favorite, as I’ve been rooting for Gage this whole series, knowing that beneath that beastly exterior, there had to be something softer there. Give this finale a read, you certainly won’t be disappointed. Highly recommend!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is the second installment in this series, and I can honestly say, I am so hooked. I thought I would be dipping my toes in with these novels, but honestly, it’s as though I ran the length of the dock and jumped right into the cold water. At least, that’s what these novels make me feel I need to do, to really cool down. Just when I thought things couldn’t get any hotter, the words seem to sizzle off the pages of the story revolving around Josie and Knox. I can relate to Josie and her story, her fear of her ex and unsure as to how to feel about herself as she runs herself ragged trying to keep up her end of the bargain and trying to eject herself completely from her husband Kenneth and his hold on her.

Along comes Knox, who is enchanted by Josie from the start, and refers to her as his lady of the lake. Having moved from the city and his life after getting out of the underground, to the small town of Landston, he has made several life changes and prefers his solitude over companionship, though it’s apparent to the reader that that won’t be enough for long. It’s an intriguing plot line, and I encourage anyone who has yet to read this authors work, to do so! I especially enjoyed hearing more about the world from which these lads rose from, in this installment, and look forward to finally hearing the story of Gage next. Another loud praise from this reader!

For this mechanic, anything is fair game.

Snapper Rodriguez never met a woman or a racer he didn’t like, until Gina Morales shows up. She’s butting her head under every hood, moving his tools and plain annoying. He’d rather fall down a mine shaft and lose his other limb than put up with her any longer.

Gina Morales is still trying to figure out what it means to be human, and as the first AI with a body in existence, she’s eager to find her maker. A racing garage like Full Throttle seems like a great place to start, though the head mechanic is an ass and she can’t help but get involved when their latest racing engine fails.

When Snapper and Gina are forced to work together to create a new engine and steal parts from competing racing gangs, the thrill of the job and the close quarters bring unwanted attraction. Too bad Snapper still wants her gone and will do anything to make that happen, even promise her tastes of human connection that she’s never experienced before. As things heat up, the threat to Gina’s synthetic heart grows, along with her confusion. They’ll have to decide if love is worth the risk or if this is a finish line they can’t cross.

A god fighting his fate. A prince burdened with secrets. And a romance that could end in flames.

Apollo is a deity… almost. Half mortal and refusing to take his position as god of the sun, he spends his nights drowning out haunting memories and his days avoiding responsibilities.

Until his father forces him into an ultimatum:

Ascend immediately.

Or spend the year mentoring under the obnoxious Prince Hyacinth.

Forced together, Apollo and Hyacinth grapple with their mutual disdain for each other.

But what starts as a kindling of irritation begins to burn into something new. A spark that, if it turns to flame, could incinerate everything theyve always protected.

A reimagining of the Greek myth of Apollo and Prince Hyacinth, this NA, enemies-to-lovers fantasy series is a whirlwind journey full of romance, intrigue, and enthralling characters.

The Debt Collector (An Underground Bad Boys Romance)The Debt Collector by India Kells
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This was a new one to me, the idea of reading a sexually charged novel always piques my interest, but this was a different sort of charge all together. I can tell you that I made the mistake of trying to read some of this novel in the backseat while my in-laws were driving, and I turned several shades of red, but couldn’t stop. This author allows the reader to completely (or mostly) let go of the inhibitions and go on this erotic ride with what must be some of the sexiest characters that exist in the literary world. Locke is a stubborn man, as would be expected, and the connection/friendship he shares with Gage is to die for, chosen family and more.

The ability to have us get to know the characters in their own worlds, and their personality traits and issues before getting the sexual adventures underway was a well thought out method to draw the reader in and allowing us to feel like we aren’t peeping into a strangers fantasies. One of my favorite tidbits is that the women portrayed in the writing aren’t the fit, thin, super confident women we usually read about in romance novels, rather, they are average (albeit beautiful) women that have self-esteem issues or their own discomforts/self-doubts. Being one of these women, it allowed me to really connect with Tessa, who seemingly has her head screwed on straight, her professional life being the best it can be, yet, missing something in her personal life. Amazing! Currently reading the rest of the series, and very much looking forward to all the good goosebumps to come, highly recommend!

We met Gage back in book one, and he has played an important role in each book- but always seemed to ‘miss out’ on having a HEA. I am so happy that we finally get his story!!
This book could be read as a standalone, but as there are recurring characters and other important details contained in the previous two books, I highly recommend reading those books before starting on this sizzling instalment.
This is a superb romantic suspense- and as with the other two books, this has a ménage/threesome aspect to the story too. The story is wonderfully written, with more sizzlingly HOT encounters- and being set in the world of cage fighting means there is plenty of danger, drama, pleasure, pain, heartache, intrigue, suspense, and gritty tension. As with the other books, there is more to this story than just lust and the ménage- there is also a ‘deeper’ story, with beautifully flawed characters fighting their demons, discovering more about themselves, while finding love unexpectedly. I had to know how Gage’s story would play out, so I ended up devouring the book in only a couple of hours. I loved every minute and really didn’t want the book, or series, to end.
I really can’t wait to see what Ms. Kells does next!
Happy Reading!

Thank you, India Kells!

The final installment to this amazing dystopian vanpire sereis.Let me just start by saying that if you haven’t read the rest of this series, you need to find them and binge read them all immediately. This author created a world betond our imaginations and thrust us straight into it in the very beginning.The storyline was amaing, the characters were good fantastic, and the front cover is breathtaking.But i will say that this book shocked me plenty of times in the middle,with an ongoing war, and plenty of action nake sure you go grab this today.

The Cruiser (The Hustlers Trilogy Book 1) by Rowan Rossler – Review by Angela Shirley

The Cruiser (The Hustlers Trilogy, #1)The Cruiser by Rowan Rossler
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Vandana’s life is on a bit of a downhill curve now, although to say her work life is great but her personal life has taken a hint. Her husband has just announced that he has had an affair and wants a divorce thus sending her into a spin. So, she falls back on work to relieve her from her disastrous life but that when life starts to get interesting.

Morgan is what some people describe as a Playboy of sorts, he has a successful Yacht Businesses in the one of the most exclusive countries in the world, what more does he need? A good reputation if he is to win over a big, big contract. So, one of his advisors puts forward a company and within one meeting Morgan’s life changes forever.

This is the first book I have read by this author, and I have to say it was a brilliant, well written story. The characters were brilliantly suited with the Sassy and forthright of Vandana’s personality was a great mirror to the slightly arrogant demeaner at the beginning with Morgan, but as the story flowed along you saw the true character of Morgan and fell just a little with him in the end. I also love when the authors include the destinations in the story, and you feel part of the glamourous world of Monaco, Italy, and LA with each word which describes them.

I really enjoyed the story and loved the secondary characters with Vandana’s friends and Morgan’s family and his friends. The twist in the story is brilliantly but there is a back story that needs to be told, all in all I really enjoyed the book and can’t wait to read the next book and books to come.

This Night Has Ended is the fifth and final instalment in the Vampire State series by Alexander Charalambides. This series has been one heck of an adventure, that’s for sure. From the first book, and every new instalment since, each addition to the series just got better and better- keeping me hooked and anticipating what would happen next. As I have mentioned before, this series takes vampire lore and really shakes it up- producing a very original and intriguing vampire tale.
We have learned so much and gone through so much with Rowena over the course of the series, but there is no resting just yet. Rowena’s biggest challenge lies ahead, and she will need to dig deep if she is to endure. Her secret is weighing heavily on her shoulders, as does her sense of responsibility. She is determined to see things through, no matter the cost or consequence. What happens made for an exciting read.
There is so much going on, and the story took me on quite an unexpected journey. There were moments where the tension was quite palpable. So needless to say that I read most of the story with bated breath. This final instalment was so much more than I had anticipated. With vampires, action, adventure, danger, drama, surprising developments, politics, challenges, secrets, the paranormal, romance, discord, tension, and a bit of a dark dystopian feel- which made for quite an exciting read.
I am impressed with the way Mr. Charalambides ended his series, if not a little sad to see it all come to the end. Now I will be eagerly waiting to see what he has in store for us next.
Happy Reading!

Thank you, Alexander Charalambides!

Targeting Dart (Satan’s Devils MC #4) Audio Book by Manda Mellett – Review by M Policicchio

I don’t know how this author keeps finding ways to make these books better and better.  If I haven’t said I love this series before, let me say it now.  I LOVE THIS SERIES.  The characters are strong but gentle, loveable but deadly, make me laugh out loud but serious.  If it wouldn’t mean giving up my adoring husband and adapting a completely new lifestyle, I think I would find a way to become an old lady of one of the Satan’s Devils!! 

 

Dart, a known hit’em and quit’em kinda of guy, falls hard for a woman that is not his type and might even cause a stir in the club.  Alex is running from her abusive, cop soon-to-be-ex-husband.  She is doing everything she can think of to stay off anyone’s radar.  She even takes a cash job for the Satan’s Devils.  Dart seems to be able to resist the pull towards Alex until he meets her son, Tyler.  When Alex’s soon-to-be-ex kidnaps both Alex and her son, Dart and the brothers seek to get her back.  It works until Dart, Mouse, and Slick discover that brothers in a different chapter are plotting against them and are working with a dirty cop.  The suspense in this one kept my earbuds hot!!
