Surviving Wrath (The Deadliest Sin Series Book 3) by Gwyn McNamee was fast pace, intriguing read, that packs a mean punch.
This book was everything you wanted in concluding a series. As I said it was fast pace, but moved in a steady way as to keep the reader engaged. There wasn’t a dull moment, as the detail kept your mind there, and the suspense kept you on the edge of your seat. This book at times will get you in the feels, with its well written characters, plot, and storytelling. The author did a wonderful job at making this book feel like a full leant novel. It’s always amazed me when Authors can do that. This book is part of a series, so make sure you read the other books before this one. As it has a building continuous plot, and you won’t get the full impact if you skip them, like this book they aren’t long reads.
Overall this book is more then worth your time an energy, and it gets my super high recommendation and my stamp of approval.

Out Bad is the opening chapter to Janice M Whiteaker’s Sinners or Saints series. What an opening it was! I cannot wait to see what comes next and I absolutely love how it also connects to her Lost Boys MC series! I have read EVERY SINGLE BOOK she has written and I can only say that she gets better with every book and every series she releases and when she finishes a series I feel grief as I do not want to let go! Out Bad is the story of Joe and Gwen. Both of them carry heavy heavy burdens and their demons seem at times too strong to be conquered! Joe hopes to redeem himself with every single act, he hopes that he will meet a woman that he has something to offer to and he will be able to build a life and family he can be proud of. Gwen I a stubborn workaholic who believes that any chance for her own family is gone and she only role she will every play is the auntie to her sister’s daughters … The writer gives us an emotional and suspenseful story that keeps you biting your nails and I feel that I got so much more out of it because I had read the Lost Boys MC stories before I picked up Out Bad! I cannot wait to see what direction the writer will take this series!

This book was awesome !! I devoured this book in one settling because I couldn’t put it down! This authors writing has a way of pulling you in, and the attention to detail is great without it being overdone. Josie and Spencer are our main characters and they were great.. They keep getting thrown together even though they think they aren’t right for each other! Will they keep fighting fate or give in and see where the universe takes them? This author for me is a must read and I cannot wait until I can get my hands on more of her stuff. I would recommend this book to a friend! Happy Reading!

The Traitor by India Kells is the second book in the Underground Bad Boys Romance series. This book can be read as a stand-alone. India Kells has definitely done it again. This book is full of brilliant characters with amazing chemistry. I enjoyed the first book in this series however I think this one was definitely better. It felt like there was s much stronger connection with the characters and the overall story. This author is one of those that seems to do everything effortlessly. It is never hard to get into one of her books or to enjoy it. I have yet to read one of her books that hasn’t been amazing. If you aren’t familiar with her work you need to change that immediately – and I would recommend starting with this series.

Trouble in Mind is the second book in Donna S. Frelick’s Interstellar Rescue Series. As the name suggests, it is an action-packed science fiction series. There’s plenty of mystery and excitement, as well as romance along the way. The Interstellar Rescue Series juxtaposes a rich extra-terrestrial sci fi setting (one can see the influence of Star Trek, amongst others) with modern day earth. As with the previous book, Unchained Memory, we see people trying to come up with mundane explanations for crimes that turn out to be part of something much bigger. Frelick tells the story from a number of different perspectives at once, showing us how connected events are unfolding. It is always clear where and who we are reading about, so it is easy to follow and the changes in perspective help build suspense. I enjoyed this book a lot – it gets five stars from me! I’d definitely recommend starting with the first book to get some background. This is a great series if you like sci fi with plenty of aliens, and also like Earth-based detective and mystery stories. It’s very much a page-turner, with some great characters!

Monty and The Monster by Rhonda Smiley is such an appealing story that everyone will enjoy reading this book. Although it is clearly aimed slightly older children my daughter loved me reading this book to her. I can already tell that this will be a book we come back to time and time again. The characters were brilliant. They were loveable and easy for a young child to connect with. The author has done an amazing job at writing in a way that will appeal to children who can read on their own but also appealing to people like myself, who are reading to their children. Although it is a children’s book I thoroughly enjoyed it. The author touched on some relatable topics and handled them in a fun and imaginative way. This is a great book for children that I would recommend!

September Breeze by Nikki Lynn Barrett is the second book in the Cinnamon Bay Romance series. This book can be read as a stand-alone. I found this book to be such a heartwarming and sweet story. Tess, Brian and the girls were great to read about. From the first meeting you just know that you want them to find their happy ending. The book had a great pace to it as well. The whole story flowed easily and had great development. For me this was the perfect book to lose myself in for a few hours on a lazy afternoon. It is a very good read.

The Arrangement Duet Box Set by Madison Quinn. This is a new to me author and i am so glad that i found her!!!! This book definitely had me wanting and needing the next page from the beginning. This was possibly one of the best contemporary romances books that I have read!!! Both Nicholas and Kenzie have their own separate issues but together they are epic. Their characters have so much chemistry that you will not want to put this book down until you get to the end!!!

Trouble in Mind (Interstellar Rescue Series Book 2) by Donna S. Frelick is a well written novel about interstellar romance and battles. The character descriptions in this book are excellent. Alana is a beautiful and highly intelligent FBI agent working on a kidnapping case. A family friend, Gabriel, is asked to help find the missing mother and son. There is instant attraction between the two, however, Alana is not willing to risk losing her job by letting an insider in to help her. As the plot develops she sees how Gabriel is truly helping the case, but also sees the path ahead of them getting darker. This story is a wonderful sequel to the first book in the series (Unchained Memory). This book has it all… romance, battles, and some really hot sex scenes. It will keep you up late past your bed time on the edge of your seat wondering what will happen next. I adored the passion between the characters and the way the story flowed together. I felt the heartbreak of the kidnapped victims family and friends, as well as the pain both Alana and Gabriel had endured throughout their life. I can’t wait to get my hands on the next book in the series and see what happens next!

Frelick – Review by Cassi Rogers
September Breeze is book 2 in the Cinnamon Bay Romance series by Nikki Lynn Barrett. It is a sweet contemporary romance- a nanny/single father love story full of funny banter, mystery, family, small town magic, some drama, breaking down barriers, finding where you belong, emotion, troubled girls, secrets, past pain, worry, obstacles, ‘special’ brownies, crazy antics, adventure, forgiveness, and quirky characters. Tess Dixon is a successful songwriter who has just arrived in town to work on the musical score for a movie being filmed in the area. But a SNAFU with her accommodation arrangements means she’s got no where to go- that is until some well-meaning locals give her an ad looking for help. It sparks her curiosity, and soon after she’s accepting a job as nanny for two troubled girls and their widowed father. She isn’t planning on staying long- just for the couple of months while the movie is being filmed- then she’s off again. She never stays in one place for long, and she doesn’t do attachments. But this little family really needs some help- and her ‘rules’ are soon tested as she begins falling for both the girls and their handsome father. What happens when secrets are revealed? What happens when life altering news is delivered? When feelings become involved, will she finally drop her defences and take a chance on love- or will her past become an obstacle too difficult to cross? Will walls finally crumble and hearts heal? This is a great story- beautifully written and easy to read. The characters were well developed and endearing- quirky personalities and all. Even the secondary characters added to the over all feel and depth of the story, especially Tatum, Alice, Hattie, Birdie, and Trixie- the story just wouldn’t be the same without them. Ms. Barrett certainly put her characters through the wringer though. I really felt for them. Not only did they have their past pain to deal with, then relationship issues, the two troubled girls to look out for, the meddling locals, her fears, his diagnosis, and adjustments- it got to the point where I was muttering “Oh! What now?! I don’t think the story need quite so much drama and angst- but, even with all that, I still enjoyed reading it. I am looking forward to seeing what Ms. Barrett does next.

Two young boys, Zeke and Jack, see a body dumped into a sinkhole in Lake City, Florida in the summer of 1930. Thus starts the book Al Capone at the Blanche Hotel by author Linda Bennett Pennell. Liz Reams is a teacher, writer and researcher, in 2011, with a penchant for bad boys, especially depression era gangsters like Al Capone. When she transfers to Gainesville, Florida to follow her boyfriend she stumbles upon the fact that Al Capone spent some time in Lake City in 1930 so she decides to do a little research and find out why old “Scarface” was in the area for an unusual amount of time. Liz gets drawn into the small town’s history and begins to unravel decades of hidden secrets centered on a violent summer where the KKK, lynching’s, prohibition, and deceit are in excess and where innocence is lost too soon. This was an excellent book, which for all intents and purposes, is made up of two separate stories: the story of Jack and Zeke and the world they inhabit in the 1930’s South as well as Liz’s story centered in 2011 where her interest in the bad boy leads her to question just how she has been living her life. The author does a great job tying the two stories together and coming to a satisfying conclusion. My only issue is that it wasn’t longer. Thank you Ms. Pennell for a great story!

Tails Always Wins (Chasing Tails Book 1) by C.A. King
5 Stars
I don’t normally read this genre and was a bit worried going in but I was pleasantly surprised.
First I have to say..This cover is absolutely amazing.
This was a paranormal shifter story that hit so close to real life today. Its sad that some of what was going on in this book still to this day is a problem in real life for many.
I found myself hooked on Brodie right from the start and his story went haywire pretty quick. Then he meets Tails and as the title says Tails Always Wins. She wasn’t too sure at first but found herself questioning everything including her own feelings. Working together they became a force and I found myself laughing out loud a few times.
This was an awesome book and not my first by this author. I can not wait to see what she comes up with next.

Dangerously Close to Extinction is the first book in the Knollville Legends series by C.A. King. I have read all of Ms. Kings books now and have loved exploring all her work. She is definitely one of my ‘no questions asked, just one-click it, authors’. Her stories never disappoint, so I didn’t even read the blurb for this story- I just snatched up a copy as fast as I could. So, I really had no idea of what to expect going into the story. I didn’t even know it was the first book in a new series. I saw the beautiful, intriguing, and elegant cover- and Ms. King’s name, and I was sold. This book turned out to be a completely wonderful surprise, in all the right ways. A paranormal/shifter story with an original spin- full of secrets, history, rifts, feuds, mystery, drama, kidnap, missing persons, discoveries, and so much more. Tawny’s father is missing- and there are ‘people’ hell-bent on finding him. She’s a little afraid, especially when she sees some eyes looking into her home one night. She’s heard stories of large animals in the area, so that’s a little disturbing, too. Then she’s pretty much kidnapped… What exactly is going on? What do these ‘people really want? What is so important? And how does her father fit into the picture? What happens when secrets are revealed, and Tawny learns the truth? Will she trust her instincts, and if she does will they lead her astray? WOW… What a great way to start a new series! Colour me impressed! Ms. King certainly knows how to tell a great story- I was hooked right from word go. I will definitely be reading the rest of this series, that’s for sure!!! I wonder what she has in store for us.

Out Bad (Sinners or Saints Book 1) by Janice M. Whiteaker
5 Stars
This was not my first read by this author and I loved it as much as any other I have read. I loved Joe and Gwen. Both had pasts that made them who they are today and their inner demons caused them to question a lot at the beginning of this story, but the more I read the more I fell for them completely. Then once again like so many other books I’ve read I found myself screaming at them…Just open up, it will make your life so much easier!! Of course they don’t..Noone ever listens to me! LOL
I loved how this book flowed, I read it in one sitting and was shocked that I had finished so quickly. The twists were placed perfectly and Gwen became my hero towards the end, She actually cracked me up with her inner dialogue and her reaction to it all directly afterwards LOL
I can not wait to get the next in this series in my hands and I also can’t wait for the next in the Lost Boys MC series, I loved that that was mentioned at the end of this one.

The Traitor (An Underground Bad Boys Romance Book 2) by India Kells 4 Stars
This book is hot, hot , hot! You’ll need some water to cool yourself off while reading this book. Although it’s book two in the series, it can be read as a stand-alone. Characters from part one make a reappearance but this is a separate story. I suggest that you read part one because it’s excellent as well.
This story revolves around Spencer Knox. After managing to get out from the Underworld, he decides to start over in a small town in the middle of nowhere where he meets the woman of his dreams. There are too many reasons why he shouldn’t get involved yet when a friend shows up in town, they end up having a threesome.
The Traitor is filled with tantalizing sex that will leave you wanting more. There is also action and danger which will keep you riveted until the end. This is another winning book by India Kells.

Tails Always Win by C.A. King is a new paranormal romance book that I COULD NOT PUT DOWN! The book shows what the world would be like if the Shifters and Humans were against each other. Brodie, who has always wanted to remain hidden because of his animal nature, is given a choice, Death or get involved with the fight. His once peaceful life is thrown into turmoil. Then enters Tails, who has led an not easy life and has Brodie smitten. Together, they both find a world that doesn’t accept who they are and want to exploit them, can these two work together and make the changes the world needs? You must read to find out. I loved this book and I love how the author gave us such a strong storyline. The characters are intriguing and I Loved reading how these two learned from the hardness of life to become better people. I was engaged from beginning to end and was hooked from page one. I highly recommend this 5 star read! I look forward to reading more in this series.
SHATTERED is the first book in the “Shattered Hearts Duet”. It is a fast N/A story about friends and family. There are moments that change everyone’s lives and finding a new normal can sometimes be difficult to navigate.
I really liked the way the story was told in many different POVs, there is even a chapter told from “Angel’s father’s” point of view. I think it made an extremely intriguing way to read. The chapters are short yet full if dialog and details. I never felt bogged down by too much descriptive writing. There wasn’t any filler.
The character development is good, the story moves at a good pace and I am definitely grabbing the second book of the duet to follow their journey further. The suspense was perfect.
I would recommend this for my older younger cousins as there are a few open door sex scenes.

Finding Ruth: A Daughter’s Quest to Discover Her Mother’s Past By Cynthia Hamilton. Let me start by saying I think this author did a wonderful job on writing about a subject that’s hard. We all know that growing old can come with unwanted problems. This book takes you on a wonderful journey of a daughter trying to find out just who her mother was in the past. I love reading this story it completely had me so full of emotions. If you’re looking for a story that will reach you heart I highly recommend this one. I’m giving this story a five star review and truly had a pleasure reading it.

What an incredible read Shattered was. This is my first read by Nicole Banks and what an introduction it was. I was totally and utterly captivated with this read from start till the end. This book faces some emotional and hard topics but this author has dealt with them with compassion and wrote them in a way that really makes people think. This is an emotional read but one where you get a brilliant understanding and connection to each of the characters and the journey they have through this read!
I can’t wait to delve into the rest of the series to see what else this author can bring us, I can’t wait to delve into Book 2.

Ms. King YOU ARE THE BOMB!!! Every time I pick up one of your books I am not disappointed. I love this series Chasing Tails. I have read book 1, Tails Always Wins and I am still in awe of what I just read. First things first, if for whatever reason you have not read any of Ms. King’s books I highly recommend all of them. Her stories are ALWAYS engaging, well-written, action packed, and always hides a little nugget of a message that she lets you find on your own. Tails Always Wins is a shifter story that has a little thriller going on with her characters, and is a fast read. This story is about Brodie. Now Brodie is a shifter who cannot afford to let everyone know he is a shifter. Now it is even harder because the laws of his world, he can be put to death because he is a shifter. He is the quiet type and now he has to decide what to do should he stand up for himself and other shifters or should he stand back on the side lines? In comes Tails that could switch up everything. How is Brodie going to react to Tails? Will Tails be Brodie’s undoing or will she help save him? I cannot wait to see what lies ahead for this new series.

This story has a little bit of everything in it including sitting on the edge of my seat suspense. I loved the characters, they made the story feel as if I was right there. Cutter and Valentina has great chemistry with a slow burn. One hard and the other beautiful, together they bring heat and a love hate relationship. Will they find common ground? Their story is a must read!

Rogue Wave (The Inland Seas Series Book 2) By: Gwyn McNamee 5 out of 5 stars
The story Rogue Wave (The Inland Seas Series Book 2) by Gwyn McNamee is a romantic suspense book. It is a story that once I started, I didn’t want to stop reading until the final page. I loved reading about the characters of Cutter and Valentina. Valentina is a strong, intelligent, and independent woman. She finds herself being saved by Cutter. He doesn’t hide his anger or suspicion of her. She is finding herself drawn to him. Cutter is a man that is deadly and dangerous. He is good at planning missions and carrying them out. What he doesn’t expect is how his plans and objectives are compromised by thoughts of her. What does the future hold for Valentina and Cutter? Read this book to find out. This story has moments of suspense that will have you wondering what is going to happen next. I enjoyed reading about the interactions between the other characters that are in the book. Don’t miss out on a story that will have you glued to the pages until the very end. I highly recommend reading it.

Shattered is the first book in the Shattered Hearts series by Nicole Banks. This is a contemporary friends to lovers romance with some drama, pain, guilt, abuse, and emotion. This story reaches deep and tugs at your heartstrings- full of the highs and lows that life can bring- with laughter, tears, obstacles, angst and heartache. I really felt for the characters right from the beginning and was rooting for them the whole way through- even when they were frustrating me to death. Angel was in the Marines, returning with some demons that haunt him. Jasmin has been through her own hell and has been trying to get her life back on track but hasn’t been able to shake her past. These two have a history, they were childhood friends, now reuniting after many years. What happens when feelings and desire begin to surface? Will they have what the other needs in order to heal? Will they help mend the shattered pieces of their hearts, or are they far too broken to ever put back together? The story continues in the next book- but don’t worry, it is available to read right now, so no waiting between books! The story was a little slow in places, but this didn’t detract to much from my overall enjoyment of the story.

Gwyn McNamee is an attorney, writer, wife, and mother (to one human baby and two fur babies). Originally from the Midwest, Gwyn relocated to her husband’s home town of Las Vegas in 2015 and is enjoying her respite from the cold and snow.Gwyn has been writing down her crazy stories and ideas for years and finally decided to share them with the world.She loves to write stories with a bit of suspense and action mingled with romance and heat.
When she isn’t either writing or voraciously devouring any books she can get her hands on, Gwyn is busy adding to her tattoo collection, golfing, and stirring up trouble with her perfect mix of sweetness and sarcasm (usually while wearing heels).

I am not new to Nicole Banks but this new series was a delightful surprise from her. Shattered is the first book in the Shattered Heart Series and I see promise of fabulous characters and romantic trysts to to come, much like this one was.
In Shattered we get to find out all about Angel and Jasmine and see how they handle life and the many obstacles that can plague a newly home serviceman. Angel returns from the Marines with some guilt and past demons that just won’t let up on him. When he meets Jasmine everything seems a bit easier to handle for him and he finally sees the light at the end of the tunnel so to speak. Jasmine also has her past and emotional standoffs that will come into play. I love how Nicole Banks shared their story from multiple points of views. It kept the story flowing quickly and made it multidimensional. These two were not my absolute favorite couple of all time but the story was rich enough that I wasn’t left wanting anything. I look forward to seeing what else will come in the next few books. Thanks for the fabulous read Ms. Banks!

This is a collection of short stories (around 20 pages or so each) that follow the sexual encounters of Brad. In this volume he has experiences with several people, including his boss and a woman on a train. These stories are not deep with story line and are designed for a quick read. Great for when you don’t have a lot of time but need a reading fix. I prefer much more story development, so this was a little less entertaining for me. But if you are just looking for the steamy bits, this would be a great read for you.
Tails always wins is a new one for me in the sense that I never really go for these type of genre. It’s a well written story that brings up a lot of controversial topics. Brodie is a shifter but keeps that side of himself hidden, but as each day that passes it becomes harder to hide. Tails has had a crappy start to her life but she all she really wants is equality. Tails character portrays a strong and intelligent woman. She basically has to get Brodie to go along with her to be a part of “movement”. Brodie is then faced with knowing that he is now to be used as a means to rid the world of his species. This story felt to be one of injustices, discrimination and letting history repeat itself. Will Tails and Brodie be able to see past their animosity and work together to overcome evil?

Guilty Pleasures volume 3 is a collection of some of the most taboo, steamiest short reads you will ever read. There is a something in this collection for everyone. On a scale of 1-10 this gets a 12 for the heat factor. This may be to taboo for some readers but if you enjoy reading something that will only take you about 20 minutes or so then you may want to read one or two of these stories at a time. Brad doesn’t discriminate. He doesn’t seem to have a type. As long as they are outgoing, willing and women he will have a shot at them.
The Traitor (An Underground Bad Boys Romance Book 2) by India Kells
5-Starsp
The Traitor (An Underground Bad Boys Romance Book 2) by India Kells was an excellent 5-star read . I loved how easily I was pulled into the storyline and also how easy it was to follow. This is definitely not a book for young readers due to sexual scenes. It made for a very steamy romantic novel though. I also really enjoyed the character development and various scenery. This was such an excellent read!

Undercover (Billionaire Bodyguards Book 2) Via Mari 4 out of 5 stars
How I could go from never reading a particular Author to becoming hooked on multiple series at once is beyond me, but Via Mari has me completely hooked. With likable characters and intense passion, each book I read by this author impresses me through and through. I had a preconceived notion that steamy romances meant the storyline wouldn’t have depth or substance. Via Mari has shown me this couldn’t be further from the truth. Undercover has twists and turns that kept me interested from start to finish. Looking forward to reading more from Via Mari, as usual.
