The Innovator (WaterFyre Rising Book 3) by Nadia Han – Review by Candice Estes

The Innovator (WaterFyre Rising, #3)The Innovator by Nadia Han
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Natalie Chapelle is more than she appears. Natalie is working for the city of Providence, trying to learn information about a building that her father left to her when he passed away, though she is not sure why he would have done so. What Natalie hopes nobody figures out is that the background that got her the job is all a lie, and she is really the heir and designer for a major fashion label in Europe, a family owned company called LaRue. When Natalie first meets Grayson Wu, an architect that is helping the city with a new project, sparks fly as the battle of wills and tempers begins nearly immediately. Both are attracted to one another, but it’s not until they are parent trapped into spending time alone together in a secluded location that they finally allow themselves to give into the lust they feel. Both of them are dealing with a lot of stress and pressure outside of the project they are working together on for the city, but they start a relationship that helps them to both feel more grounded and happy than they have in a long time. When Grayson’s outside business becomes more dangerous, he pushes her away to try and protect her, going as far as sending her back to Paris and her family (with some help) to try and protect her. Once the danger has passed, Grayson hopes to be able to convince Natalie to forgive him. This is a good quick read. It is part of a series, but can be read as a standalone, with plenty of sex and intrigue to keep you reading.

Your Trainer Says Hi! (Vengeful Vixens Book 2) by Indie Sparks – Review by Kerry Carr

Your Trainer Says Hi!Your Trainer Says Hi! by Indie Sparks
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This was a great story of lust and revenge. It is a romcom and I really loved the characters of Nadine and Wick. Both of these characters are bad ass in their own way and it’s this confidence and arrogance that makes the sparks fly between them.

The story starts with Nadine realising that her now ex boyfriend took money from their joint business to fund a new venture(which is a scam). Furious that he has risked her dream and also the betrayal of just taking the money she ends the relationship and takes revenge but taking his personal trainer.

When Nadine and Wick met they clash. Wick is an arragone ass and he winds Nadine up constantly but it doesn’t take long for that hate to turn into sexual tension and when Nadine gets a glimpse of the dominant side of Wick she can’t help but want more.
But things won’t be plain sailing as Nadine and Wick still have to endure her ex getting involved in their lives.
This is a great steamy romcom. There are laughs and the banter between the characters really brought the story to life.
One thing I really liked is how Nadine sets out to get revenge by sleeping with the trainer her ex idolises but what she ends up with is more than she could ever imagine.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I have read all the books to this series and not one has disappointed me yet. It is a little heart wrenching that this will be the last book of the trilogy but im so glad that I read them. this book was very well written that once again I felt like I was right there in the story, from loving the characters to hating them all in one. This book was filled with magic and fantasy, lots of action. This book like the others kept me turning pages and I couldn’t get enough, the twists and turns had me guessing the whole time and really devouring this story. Im a little sad that the story ended but so glad some ends are toed up, there were a few things in the story I wish that there was more details on it, but for the way this book if written it made up for it. if you decide to read this book, I would suggest stating at the beginning.

Thunder On The Moor (Thunder On The Moor Book 4) by Andrea Matthews – Review by Sheri Schrader

Thunder On The Moor (Thunder On The Moor, #1)Thunder On The Moor by Andrea Matthews
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Thunder On The Moor: A Time Travel Romance is the first book in the Thunder on the Moor series. This series is ongoing, and I highly recommend reading it in order. I started with the second book and was so glad to go back and read this one. The story is a fun adventure in time, with 20th-century and 16th-century characters merging into one story. I like the main character Maggie. She is from the 20th century and was raised as an independent spirit with adventure in her heart. When she is taken into the past by her father she discovers that the past is just as exciting as her father had told her.
I really enjoy the glimpse into the past and how many of the same conflicts echo what we see in the current day. I look forward to seeing what adventures Maggie takes us on in the future books in the series.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Shake Loose the Border is the third book in the Thunder On the Moor series. I recommend reading these books in order because it is an ongoing series. This kept me on the edge of my toes, with lots of action and suspense in the story. Set primarily in the sixteenth century, tensions arise as Will and Maggie’s wedding approaches. Maggie is sent back to the twentieth century for safety purposes. Will Maggie and Will be reunited?
As I mentioned, this is packed with action, suspense, and adventure. I couldn’t put it down because I wanted to know how it would end. I already had the fourth book so I knew the story would continue but I had to get some resolution. I look forward to reading the fourth book to see how their story continues.

This is a prequel to the Hidden Valley series and boy does it do its job. We meet the main characters Riley and Cole and gain a bit of background knowledge on them both. We also are privy to their introduction and sparks immediately fly; however, there are complications. I really liked this prequel because it’s a quick, easy read and it provides great information and it definitely leaves you wanting more! *Ends on a cliffhanger*

I’m a sucker for short stories and then you tell me they’re scary stories?! I’m in! Kelly Covic did an absolutely terrifyingly amazing job with these stories. The title of this book is spot on because some of these stories definitely crept their way into my dreams and kept me awake. I couldn’t choose a favorite they are all so well-written. The way Covic is able to twist her words around your brain until you can’t tell reality from fiction is fantastically ghastly. If you love a good scare and want a sleepless night, grab your copy right now!

With Fire and Sword: A Time Travel Romance is the fourth book in the Thunder On the Moor series. I recommend reading the books for the most enjoyment. This time Will and Maggie are getting settled into the 20th century when things start to unravel. After an urgent call for help from the past, can Will and Maggie repair what is torn?
I have enjoyed this series, and this installment didn’t disappoint me. I enjoy the time travel aspects and learning more about how all the characters fit into the story. The author must have tons of notes to keep track of the time travel and what each character is aware of. This is a fun read full of adventure and romance. I look forward to reading more from this author.

I didn’t fully know what to expect when picking up this book of poems as it isn’t my usual read. The bright and interesting cover caught my attention. I am glad I picked it up! This was a unique experience. Each poem explores a different deeper issue, but is done tastefully. I admit I did have to reread some of the poems a fews times to gain the depth of the meaning. But isn’t that the mark of a good poem? One that is read and reread with each session a new experience. An experience that is different between readers and prompts discussion behind it.

This is the third book in this series which I enjoyed just as much as the previous three. I highly suggest reading the previous book in this series as it will help with your enjoyment of this series. I found this book to be well developed and full of romance. I enjoyed how the characters pulled me into the story from the beginning. They are strong, supportive, engaging and added too much to the enjoyment of this series. A story where you feel hate and love for someone at the same time, if that is possible. The attraction and chemistry between the characters is great. I enjoyed watching their growth throughout which added to the entertainment of the story. You don’t want to miss what happens with these characters. I highly recommend this book.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

 

4.5 Stars

 

‘The Innovator’ is the third book in the fantastic ‘WaterFyre Rising’ series by Nadia Han. I love the way this series is building on itself. Even though each book has its own story and couple, all the books combined help to build a much bigger picture, giving us more morsels of information on the characters, backstories, arching storyline, and Waterfyre. The whole Waterfyre element is what really hooked me into the series in the first place, then add in some really intriguing characters and exciting storylines makes this series stands out from the crowd.
Since diving into book one and developing a taste for Nadia Hans work, I look forward to each new release to find out what she has in store for us (and the characters). Each new instalment slightly eclipses the previous one, which is proof, in my eyes, of a talented author.
This instalment is a bit of an enemies-to-lovers contemporary romantic suspense. A billionaire romance with drama, angst, tension, chemistry, sizzle, secrets, forced proximity, and contains sensitive topics/potential triggers for some readers (swearing, violence, the mention of suicide, grief, abuse, and eating disorders).
The story was a little slow to build momentum – but as the story progressed and the pace picked up- especially with all the added angst, sizzle, drama, and suspense unfolding, definitely grabbed my attention and held it right through till the end.
Looking forward to The Inquisitor’ (Book #4), it’s set to be even better yet…
Happy Reading!

Thank you, Nadia Han!

The Innovator (WaterFyre Rising, #3)The Innovator by Nadia Han
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Natalie and Grayson know of eachother because Natalie’s new besties are Grayson’s sister and her friends.

Natalie has come to the US for answers. She doesn’t need to work. She’s a very wealthy woman but she’s doing this under the radar to find out answers. Her fathers plane went down and she found out her father purchased a building for her. The building just so happens to be one Grayson is trying to buy for his latest project.

Natalie and Grayson have been in contact thru email / phone calls and Grayson has been giving her the brush off.
These two have ridiculous chemistry and they both know it. When they realize it, they make a deal. Whomever loses, steps back from what they want with the project. When they end up in a retreat with just the two of them, Natalie has a plan….will it work or will Grayson Wu be stronger then she thinks.

There’s alot of suspense and danger looming ahead. Are they ready for what secrets are exposed or what danger is about to come?

Great addition to the series.

Wow just Wow!! This amazing author never fails to entertain her readers with wonderful characters and creative, interesting storylines that keep you enthralled from start to finish. This book was yet again another fantastic read and continued this series in style. Natalie and Grayson are always chipping at each other whenever they are together but you just know there is so much passion fuelling that fire that once they realise that, you know the flames will be higher than ever. They build a strong bond even when danger is all around them. This is the third book in the WaterFyre Rising series but I feel it can be read and enjoyed without having read the previous two books. I do highly recommend reading them though simply because they are amazing and shouldn’t be missed.

The story of Grayson and Natalie is an intense one. You can feel the intensity build right from the start. He is set in his ways. She’s not too fond of him because he’s denying her. I loved the chemistry of these two throughout the book. I loved seeing familiar faces among the storyline. The book had me right from the beginning. I couldn’t put it down. Quite frankly, I can’t wait for book 4. I wan to see where this goes with the destruction of the Elite’s and how the guys get WaterFyre rising out. There’s so much to be answered and yet still so many secrets out there.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

4.5 Stars

 

Operation Escape is the second book in the Space Force Rejects series by Landra Graf. It is a fantastically immersive sci-fi romance- a real rollicking space adventure with plenty of action, danger, drama, intrigue, suspense, mystery, alien races, forced proximity/bonds, chemistry, connection, science experiments, tension, choices, challenges, agendas, politics, violence, fated mates, and an escape mission.
When it comes to sci-fi romance, Landra Graf is definitely one of my go-to authors as she always delivers a riveting reading experience, crafting her stories with incredible world-building, intriguing storylines, and quirky interesting characters.
What happens when you throw a pansexual ex-military modified MC together with a greenhorn nerdy heroine who is on a desperate quest to track down her missing uncle. The supposedly simple mission goes awry when they find themselves ambushed and trapped on a penal planet, with a very large target on their back. Yep, you guessed it- things are going to get a little intense. They are going to have to come up with a new plan, and think on their feet, if they have any chance of making it out alive. Let the adventures begin…
Another great read- Bring on Book #3!
Happy Reading…

Thank you, Landra Graf!

Amy’s Rebellion is book one in the Gemstone Massacre series by Julia Goldhirsh. It is a dark urban fantasy, with an enemies-to-lovers romance, magic, danger, drama, assassins, shifters, the paranormal, action, adventure, violence, elementals, LGBTQ+/gender fluid characters, agendas, sinister intentions, friendship, corruption, gemstones, myth/legends, armies, rebellion, good vs evil, originality, and intriguing world-building.
This is the first book that I have read by Julia Goldhirsh, so I really wasn’t sure of what to expect from her storytelling. But I love anything fantasy, plus the cover and blurb quirked my interest, so I took a chance and plunged in for the adventure.
I really wish I had realised that there was a prequel to this before embarking on the adventure, as I think that would have given me a better understanding and appreciation of this book- so I will definitely be going back to read the prequel before continuing on with more of the series.
Happy Reading…

Obedience (Ties That Bind Book #1) by Liza Snow – Review by Angela Hayes

ObedienceObedience by Liza Snow
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

 

3 Stars

 

Obedience is the first book in the Ties That Bind series by Liza Snow. It is a romantic suspense with an age gap, forbidden, dark, teacher/student trope, tension, slow-burn, chemistry, circus theme, mystery, steam, areal performers, Shibari binding, opposites attract, drama, and angst.
This is a story of longing, obsession, and obedience. A childhood outing to the circus sets off a yearning that soon borders on obsession. Turning from fan to protégé, past to present, darkness into danger- all while fulfilling fantasies. There are plenty of ingredients to make this a captivating read. But it is quite a slow-burn, which at times was very frustrating. Along with the fact that some of the transitions were quite abrupt, which invariably ‘pulled me out of the story’ every time it happened- making for a bit of a turbulent read. I also felt like the last third of the story was really drawn out and I found it hard to ‘stay immersed in the story’ and keep my mind from wandering. This book also ends on a cliffhanger- so everything is set to continue in the next instalment.
I did find the premise and characters intriguing, so I will need to read the next book to see where we go from here…
Happy Reading…

Thank you, Liza Snow!

I was surprised by how fast I was able to read the entire Trilogy. I had anticipated it taking more time. Some of it was due the length of each of the books, then there was also the fact that I found it hard to put down.

There isn’t the character development you would see in normal length books but that didn’t take away from the books and the steam.

Richard has experiences that a lot men have at the very least fantasized about and a some have experienced. He made some mistakes that lead to more problems for him.

I would definitely try reading this if you have a quiet weekend at home with no pressing commitments so you don’t have to put the books down.

Operation Escape (Space Force Rejects Book 2)Operation Escape by Landra Graf
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is the second book I have read by the talented Landra Graf, the first being Operation Pinpoint which is the first book in the Space Force Rejects series. At first, I was slightly disappointed that this book didn’t pick up where the first one left off as it was a cliffhanger, but I quickly swallowed those words as the world became more complex. Told from two perspectives once again you get a bigger understanding of the original plot of book one and learn more about the Space Force and how terrible they are. Book one does not have to be read to understand this book.
Sera is the daughter of the head of the Space Force, but she was deemed a failure by him due to her small size and he ordered her the termination of her. Uncle Garsett (Dr. Garsett in the first book) is the person who saved her and raised her. He was the only person to believe in her and now three months after his disappearance she finally can search for him herself. Markus Engle, once Captain in the Space Force Special Ops, and a talented pilot is the only person that she can trust now. While raising her, her uncle told her repeatedly that in case of an emergency to find Captain Markus Engle he can help and will protect you. Blindsiding him, Markus is obligated to help her, if he refuses the bond her uncle forced on him will cause him physical pain. During their mission, they both constantly fight the bond that he knows about, but she is clueless as to what is happening to her and why she has such an intense magnetic pull to this man she has just met. Quickly her carefully planned mission is flipped on its head when her informant steals their ship and leaves her and Markus stranded on Earth, the prison planet with no way to escape. With the help of Paavo (Hirudian), Cy (Levian) and Haylee (splice, human robot hybrid), Markus has no choice but to try and give trust before it is earned to ensure that Sera survives and makes it off the prison planet alive.
How can Sera be such a menace and yet so innocent and naïve? Can all five of them trust each other to make it off the planet alive? Is this bond truly pheromones only or is it deeper, is it more? The world the author created in the first book is filled in more with this book, leading to more adventures and deeper bonds formed over time. Nothing is given, everything must be earned. Reading about the characters overcoming the obstacles placed in their way while growing closer makes you route for them from start to finish. I cannot wait for book three to learn more about this amazing world and characters.

This is a collection of 3 short stories surrounding the same plot.

I definitely understand why the author is called the lord of lust, because these books are definitely full of it.

Richard is a man who ends up tempted by not one, but two women in the series and falls to their temptation. The book is marketed as a “Why Choose?” polyamorous relationship style erotica; but I’ll be honest, the book just wasn’t it for me. I really despised Richard and also Alice throughout the books, because even though everything was right in the end, the way they got there just wasn’t it. It could be your cup of tea, but the plot and story writing just wasn’t mine.

This is an amazingly compelling, emotional memoir recounting the authors experiences as a teenager living in Sarajevo during the Bosnian war in the 90s. I was captivated by her story. The writing style, in her voice, is relatable and easy to read. I was shocked by how relatable she was though from a completely different background from me and the experience of war she recounted; however, this relatability made the story come to life even more and better illustrated the shock of the events that changed her life forever. The story comes to life through the pages and the reader is transported to that time and can’t help but imagine and feel like it is happening to them. This is a riveting coming of age story in unimaginable circumstances. I’m not generally a huge fan of memoirs, but this one is well worth the read!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

In this 8th book of the Madeline Dawkins Series, the team is taking on 3 new cases that keep them busy – a missing teen, a divorce case, and a senior living facility receiving threatening letters. The team must work their magic to help out with these cases. Although these cases are pulling the team in different directions, they continue to touch base with each other.

Like the previous books in this series, the author does a wonderful job world building, the characters are well written, work together like a well oiled machine, and overall make the story very enjoyable. I think it helps to read the series in order to really get a feel for the characters and how they come to be part of the MDPI team. If one didn’t have a chance to start at the beginning, they can be read as standalone books.
