Taming Brooklyn (The Club Kings Series Book 1) by Charlotte St. Pierre – Review by Ashley Johnson

Taming Brooklyn (The Club Kings Series Book 1)Taming Brooklyn by Charlotte St. Pierre
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This book was sooo good! I couldn’t put it down, I read it in one sitting. It has everything you want and need in a reverse harem. I love that is has multiple POV, I don’t like to read books without them now. You get the full story this way. I love how Brooklyn’s past trauma only makes the guys care and love her more. The cliffy at the end almost gave me a heart attack but on to book two!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I have not read the other books in this series so I was little confused with some of the plot and characters but it was so good. I will definitely go back and read the rest of the series. The mythology and magic mixture is everything, throw in some vampires and elves and I am HOOKED. I’m also a sucker for star-crossed lovers!

My Pearl HeartMy Pearl Heart by J.N. Sheats
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I just want to start out by saying that the best friend in this book will infuriate you until the end! With that being said, this book started out with a kiss to knock all kisses out of the water! After that steamy kiss the conversation and situation gets thrown way out into left field. This story puts you through all the emotions and fixes you by the end.

This was a really quick and fun read. It’s the prequel to a series that I am excited to read. The world building was good and the mysteries surround the main part of the story was really interesting. I hope Jessa steps out of her shell more as the story goes on. Ready for more.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is my first book that I have read by this author and it will not be the last! I did not read the first book but I don’t think I needed too. It caught us up pretty quickly. This whole story was action packed and had many twists and turns. I honestly stayed on the edge of my seat the whole time reading it. I hope that we get another book in this world.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This was a fun book to read! I love anything that’s based in an school/academy situation. Makayla doesn’t get accepted into the three schools she really wants to attend, so she gets stuck with the Grave Digger academy. No-one wants to go to that academy. She soon learns that there is more going on than the was led to believe. I am excited to read the rest of the series!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This book had me hooked from the first page. This book is full of action, suspense that keeps you on the edge of your seat. The characters are amazing and the hardships they have to endure are stressful. This book did have me stressed but it was all worth it in the end.

This was my first book by this author and it will not be my last. I will definitely go back and read the first two books of this series. How the story is set up is pretty neat. It’s a story within a story. Gary and Deb have a weird/great relationship. I will be reading more from this author.

My rating: 3 of 5 stars

This was a quick read. Julie is stubborn and set in her ways. Jim is a “good ol boy” trying to be more refined. This story has a few different tropes age-gape, student/teacher and second chance. If you are looking for a quick entertaining read then give this a try.

This book was real. Many parents find themselves struggling when their kids leave home. Your kids are your reason for doing everything. This book is about finding yourself and the struggles that come with it. The growth Peggy goes through is inspirational and shows how strong women are.

Defying EllaDefying Ella by Morgana Bevan
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I don’t think I have ever wanted to shake a person as hard as I wanted to shake Jared. He infuriated me to no end. Towards the end he did redeem himself but it was a struggle to get there. Ella has the patience of a saint to deal with him. Their story is a good one, it just takes a minute to get to the good stuff. I’m going to read the rest of the series to get to know the other couples better.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I love a good second chance romance. After being apart for years Damien and Evelyn are brought back together. Broken hearts and feelings are still there when they come face to face again after all that time. Their story is emotional and stressful. This story is dark twisted and good.

Rock Bottom (Satan’s Devils MC Book #7) Audiobook by Manda Mellett – Review by Ashley Johnson

This was definitely a story of redemption. Rock is trying to find his place in the world now that everything has happened. Becca is just trying to survive. The narrators did an amazing job bringing this story to life. I’m definitely going to read the rest of the books in this series.

This book sucked me in from the first sentence. I loved the multiple point of views to understand how the events effect everyone involved. It also brings to light the difference between good and bad from cops to high ranking officials. I am excited to read more from this author.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I really liked this book! I finished it in one setting. The characters were amazing and the villains were exceptionally villainous. I loved that yes, it was a Cinderella retelling but it was original. The fairy Godmother story was my favorite part. I need more of that. I’m excited for the next book!

I am all for second chance romances and true love winning out but I didn’t want that with this book. I am Team Princess. I loved Josh and Mavis together when they were younger but I didn’t want them together now. The book was really good and well written. I will definitely read more books from this author.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This was a very dark book. Please read trigger warnings before starting. This was a very heavy book. It throws you into the BDSM world and is tastefully done. The romance that blossoms between Rueben and Alice is nothing short of amazing. Mental health matters in all aspects of relationships and life.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This book was a good quick read. The chemistry between Nico and Mia is off the charts. Mia is a Mafia princess but she’s not a weak damsel. Nico is tall, dark, handsome and arrogant. They work together despite being from rival family’s. Will definitely be reading the rest of the books from this world.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

If this book doesn’t do something to your heart, there is something wrong. This is a love story, this is a story of finding yourself. It is a GOOD story. The love that some of us hope to find one day and who doesn’t love a good slow burn.

First of all..WOW ! Second of all that was one of the best books I’ve read all year. Third… Kage! Holy Kage. This book had so many twists and turns I didn’t know which way was up. I couldn’t put it down which is why I closed myself in my office to finish it. The story was original and revenge is the name of the game. This was so GOOD!

I’m usually not a Historical Romance fan but this one left me wanting more. I can’t imagine having to be forced to marry your enemy and actually find happiness. Sir William and Isabel’s banter and relationship truly warmed my heart.
