Key To His HeartKey To His Heart by Kristina Beck
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I am a sucker for romance, and this book delivered. The author tells Katrina and TJ’s story in such a way that you feel it down to your soul. This idea that there is some sort of mystical connection, that fate could play such a crucial role in bringing two souls together is what all romantics swoon over. Experiencing this book was a heart wrenching journey that I would gladly experience again. The romance was slow, and there was much that needed to be overcome along the way, leaving it a story you just didn’t want to put down. This is my first book by this author and I am looking forward to more.

Sword of Darkness (Vigilant, #3.5)Sword of Darkness by L.M. Preston
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

An easy to read YA fantasy! The book kept me invested from the start. I will admit, I had not realized that this was book 3.5 in a series, but I followed the plot with no problem. I think I would have felt more for the characters had I read the other books, so I intend to go back and do that now to fill in the gaps. Though it was quick, it was interesting enough that I want more. The story seems more complex, this seems like only a small part. I am excited to see where else the story goes!

Murder Creek (Audio Book) by Jane Suen – Review by Ashleyann Sanabria

An intriguing murder mystery with a few twists along the way. Being in the head of a journalist on a mission was interesting and made you feel like you were doing the investigating. I would have liked the mystery to be a bit higher stakes and make it more exciting to follow, but it was interesting none the less. The ending was so heartfelt and concluded the mystery in a great way. I will definitely be looking for more from this author.

A great follow up to Power Play, Body Checked takes it to the next level! I was so excited for this book, since I already enjoyed the little of Bridger and Tia from the first book in the series. I was not expecting to like it more then the first, but here we are! Bridger and Tia’s dynamic is great to follow. I think this book is spicier than the first, and I found myself hanging on to every page! Definitely recommend picking this series up if you are looking for quick and exciting reads with sports, spice and everything nice!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This story really hit home. My pets are my family. I love them like children, and the author does an incredible job of bringing that love to life. A cancer diagnosis would be heart breaking for anyone to go through with anyone they care about. Reading Kingsley’s journey showed me how different the last years could have been had I known that cancer was taking my pet before it was too late. I loved the funny stories of Kingsley in his youth, and then the heartbreak a family goes through trying to make the best decision for your pet. Wonderfully written, and almost painful to read, definitely pick this up if you are looking for a true story to tug your heartstrings.

The Vardoger Boy (Forerunner Series)The Vardoger Boy by Jay Veloso Batista
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Holy Viking adventure! This book really immerses you in the time period by delving into the surroundings and the way people lived. It was hard to connect to the characters, but I think that is because I did not realize this was a second in series when I picked up, so it was pretty clear that I am missing some background. None the less, the adventure was still easy enough to follow and there was plenty going on in the story to keep you interested. While not my typical read (very much a historical fantasy), I enjoyed the book and will be picking up the first one to see what I missed. Perhaps I will even continue with the series! If you are a fan of Vikings, historical reads, and adventure, definitely give this book a shot!

The Lie That BindsThe Lie That Binds by Amy Argent
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

High school, full of bullies, cliques, and doing your very best to fit in. The book starts with Holly who just started out at a new high school. She wants to get in with the cool kids, like any girl her age would, but she quickly finds out that teenagers can be cruel. Nathan is a jerk, but there is so much more than meets the eye. Intriguing from the start, you find out about what Nathan is really hiding. His secrets lead to more between him and Holly, and the story that evolves is one that will keep the pages turning almost of their own volition. The story had its slow parts, but in general, it was compelling enough to keep you invested. At the start, I thought it was going to be more focused on the bullying and I wasn’t sure how to feel about it. As the story moves forward, there is more to it. Takes you back to that young age where what your friends thought about you felt like the most important thing in the world. I recommend this book if you enjoy a clique high school dynamic, a web of secrets, and characters that have more depth to them then they let on!

Distant Memories: A Nurse Morgan Series: Book TwoDistant Memories: A Nurse Morgan Series: Book Two by Kate MacInnis
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

In the sequel to Distant Heart Sounds, the story picks right back up where the first ended. Morgan is now living in peace with her ghostly roommates, and she even has a steady romance. All seems picture perfect, but of course, it cannot remain. There is still much activity at work, many more mysteries to solve, and a newer visitor at home that is less then cooperative. Will Morgan find balance, solve mysteries, and stay in her romance honey-moon phase?

The book, like the first, is easy to follow and intriguing. There is still much going on in all aspects of the MCs life, so once again it can be a little difficult to keep track. There will most certainly be some laughs along the way, and some parts that are creepy! In general, the characters are well developed and the story is fun. I recommend picking this one up if you are looking for mystery, paranormal, and an overall fun read, but read the first book first! Will definitely be looking for more from this author!

This book was cute, spooky, and intriguing. My first book by this author, and I am already looking forward to the next. The story follows Morgan, and emergency center nurse who after a near death experience, has the ability to see ghosts. Couple that with a new doctor at the emergency center and you have a whirlwind of murder mystery, romance, spooky situations, and the comradery that comes with working in a high stress environment. So much was going on in the book that sometimes I had to double back. Parts were funny, parts were cute, and parts were spooky. In general, I did enjoy this book as a nice and relatively low stress read. Now on to the next!

Squid (Moto X Book 5)Squid by Brooke May
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Right from the start, the story drew me in. Levi is a party boy that has a lot more going on in his head and heart than meets the eye. His antics at the start are entertaining to witness along side him. It also helps that the story is written in second person and even has moments where the MC engages with the reader to make you feel like you are being told a story from a friend. Once Levi starts putting an effort into putting his life on track, his world view totally changes, and he is put in a position where he is trying to reach a future, and trying not to let his past hinder him. The romance is quite sweet as well. Initially unrequited feelings that slowly start to turn into more. Also, Kindle is such an awesome and powerful female MC. The story is short, but didn’t leave me wanting. The romance seems quick, but was still satisfying. In general, this is a quick, fun, and spicy read that will be entertaining until the very end. This is book five in the series, and admittedly I did not read the others, but I had no trouble following along with the story. I do have the sense that there are many background stories with side characters that I am missing information on, so I definitely intend to go back and read the other books.

Saving Marvel (Satan's Devils MC Second Generation Book 4)Saving Marvel by Manda Mellett
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Another great Satan’s Devils read! I really loved this one. I loved bizarre and life threatening circumstances bring two people together from totally different worlds. I loved the familiar betrayal and pain shared by absolute strangers. Most of all, I loved the second chance at finding romance! Like every other book in this series, within these pages you will find rough bikers, soft hearts, tenacious loyalty, found family, unexpected romance, and non stop action. Unlike every other book in this series, you will find older MCs, deep seeded betrayal, and a new prospect from a highly unlikely introduction! This author has once again managed to spin a story that is both comforting in its familiarity as well as new and exciting. It is awesome to be reading the Satan’s Devils next generation and seeing a whole new group of MCs at the frontline, some familiar but in diapers in the other books, and still have your old favorite MCs in the background. At this point, its truly reading about family. There are references made here from other books in the series. If you have not read a Satan’s Devils MC book before this, you will most certainly be able to follow the story, but will be missing references and little Easter eggs throughout that you would have had to read the other books to pick up on. My suggestion to get the most out of the stories it to start at the beginning with Turning Wheels. Cannot wait to keep going in this amazing MC world!

Given how much I love this author’s Satan’s Devils MC series, I was excited to give this book a shot. I loved how different it was! A similar brotherhood to what I am use to with the Satan’s Devils MC, but the paranormal aspect to the story was intriguing. I was trying to puzzle out the mystery the whole time, and eventually I figured it out, but not for a while there, keeping me hanging on to the story. Dwarf’s insecurities were very relatable. Raven’s past was very tragic. Putting them together, I think they complimented each other quite well. I was a little frustrated with how back and forth Raven was, but it does make sense with her character. I am definitely going to be looking out for more in this series! If you like MC Romances, found family, overcoming tragedy, and overcoming insecurities, then give this book a shot!

Heart Broken: Satan’s Devils MC, Volume 5 Audio Book by Manda Mellett

Rating: 5 of 5 starts

I was so excited to get Heart’s story! After what he had been through in previous books, I was rooting for him from the very start. The book starts right where the one before left off, and Heart has basically been sent to roam on his own after some serious mis-steps on his part. Marc becomes his unlikely friend and the rest of the book is a whirlwind of grief, tragedy, violence, and learning to love. Top all that off with a brotherhood that keeps me coming back for more after every book I read, and you have got a great novel! This author always manages to find a new way to tackle an MC love story, making each story familiar, yet brand new. I love the way the author deals with very real, serious and tragic backstories, and shows how each character overcomes them and is still able to find love and grow. Looking forward to the next, as usual! Take note that this book is number 5 in the series. I would say that they can be understood and followed separately, but there are backstories, and other connections that you would miss if you do not read them in order so I highly recommend starting with Turning Wheels.

Luca and Salvatore are twin “hybrids” that have been searching for her for a long time. Angelina has been having dream with two beautiful men that she cannot move past, but when these two men are no longer just dreams, her world is tilted on its axis. I loved the introduction of the twins into Angelina’s world and how they saved her. The plot is well developed, the romance is well done, the book is spicy and in general, I could not put it down. The detail in the writing makes it easy to fall in love with the characters. If you like paranormal, spice, and adventure, definitely give this book a shot.

A second chance mafia romance? Yes please. This is the 6th book in this series, and I highly recommend reading the others. First because they are great, and second because there will be background information that will make your enjoyment of this book that much better. If you read this one without the others, you will still be able to keep up with the story though. Trey is an interesting main character to see, love having a mafia man who is a surgeon and seeing that dynamic play out. Hailey was a bit hesitant at first, but the situations in the book pushed the romance in the right direction and it was absolutely enthralling watching it all play out. Typical for a book from this author to hook you and not let go. Will be looking out for the next.

At the start, I really enjoyed the story. It was mysterious, steamy and complex. The spice catches you off guard at times, and these characters are BOLD! I didn’t want to put it down! As the story progressed, the plot intensified, and stakes were raised. Once the plot ramps up, the resolution happens so fast. The story that initially had me refusing to set the book down was resolved too quickly, leaving me slightly disappointed and wanting more. I would have liked to have more time exploring the tension in the romance, and the interactions between the characters to really feel intimately connected to their struggles and drama. The epilogue also was tied up with a pretty bow. It was a great story, if too short. This is the first I read in this series, but it was easy to keep up with, which leaves me to think that it could be read as a stand alone. There is definitely some background information in the other books as far as some of the side characters and their history with the main character. I will definitely be looking up the previous books to see what that history is about. If you are looking for something steamy, action packed, and high stakes, give this one a try.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I was not expecting this book to ring so true! The tale of what happens when human greed, misinformation, and ignorance all compile together to bring humanity to the brink of starvation and poverty! Or, is it a story of what our realities will become soon if we don’t focus on the larger picture? DUN DUN DUNNNN. In all seriousness, it is a creative take on a far fetched future based on realistic issues. Brought on by a theory that certain foods were to blame for causing damage to the globe, the over indulgency of another food has turned the world desolate. As it goes, large corporations took a once lucrative past time and monopolized it. Small time farmers make a discovery that has the potential to change this, or will it? Evil Sushi keeps you guessing. An enjoyable read that really makes you reflect on the state of our current world. It is at once entertaining, and a little sad. I am definitely intrigued to see where the story goes next.

Very fast pace book! I will admit, sometimes it took some concentration to follow. I loved the non-binary representation. Right from the prologue, it is clear that someone or something is working against the MC and that there is more to the issue than meets the eye. The book did not slow down from there. Ruarnon was pushed to lead earlier than they were expecting and it was great to see how their character not only overcomes adversity, but navigates with less than trust worthy people in their midst. Initially, Lihn’s storyline felt totally unrelated, but they blend together nicely. If you are looking for a fantasy book with non-binary rep, and non stop action from the start, give this one a try!

I don’t think there is a single book in this series that I haven’t liked so far! I appreciate that the author took on the issues of race and body shaming in this book. There were parts that were a bit upsetting, but the book overcomes both these issues fairly well. The story was filled with heartache and adversity. Alex is shy and traumatized. Her story is tragic and heartfelt. Seeing how she changes and grows into herself was great, especially since her body was described similarly to my own. Dart was just another member, but his growth in this book was great to see too. In general, this book has everything you will come to love and expect about a Satan’s Devil’s MC novel: found family, love, tenacity, tragedy, violence, to get to her you have to go through me, and a brotherhood so strong it can overcome all odds. Despite being wonderfully familiar, the author manages to still surprise and enthrall the reader with plot twists and turns you never expect. A perfect balance of exciting and familiar that guarantees I keep picking up her books! Give the Satan’s Devils MC a try. Note that the story has many books, and there is overlap even if the book is based in a difference chapter of the MC. I recommend reading in publication order but pick these up!

Another great installment in this series! I enjoyed the dynamic of introducing new characters that don’t share the same origins as the ones I have grown to know and love in the other books. I would have liked more tension in the romance. It felt as though the romance when from uncertain to star crossed a little too quickly. Even so, the story was well written, and the mystery was intriguing. Though the backstories of the main characters in this series is different then I have seen in the other books, it is still heart wrenching. It helps make the characters fit seamlessly into the mafia families I have come to know and love. The found family aspects of the book were well down, and I LOVE strong women, which not only this book, but this whole series is full of. If you are knew to this series, I definitely recommend reading in order. Each book centers around different characters, but there are larger plot points and connections that you will miss if you do not start from the first book!

This story was as beautiful as it was relatable. Looking at this world through Mercy’s eyes was an experience. Mercy is such an incredibly resilient character. From a young age, she consistently fought against a fate that she grew up seeing as almost unavoidable. It was the bond she shared with her best friend that pushed her forward, and later the rage and sorrow that kept her going. I loved the use of La Llorona in the story. I also love how overtime, you see the world around her change. The story ends on such a hopeful tone, really inspiring that dreams are achievable.
