Ryan’s Bed by Tijan – Review by Ashley Mandell

Ryan's BedRyan’s Bed by Tijan
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Ryan’s Bed was so good that I finished it in one day. I’ve never read a book more relatable. This book invoked so many emotions from me. Mac’s story, especially the ending, is thought provoking and engaging. The plot twist at the end was a surprise. Tijan wrote this so well and put so much care into the storyline. She was considerate of how she chose to write about the main topic and did an excellent job at portraying the emotions surrounding it.

Repair (Rescue Me #1; The Everyday Heroes World)Repair by Trish Williford
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Repair: An Everyday Heroes World Novel is part of the The Everyday Heroes World and is written by Trish Williford. This author is like fine wine, each story just gets better. I loved the style, the context the words were written in, and the complexities of the characters. Each character was a little flawed, more than a little difficult and a lot passionate. Their attraction burned hot through many years before they got their act together. Their dance toward bliss was seductive, messy and tumultuous. It was a drawing addiction that had me mesmirised by every paragraph. I was under their spell. What a clever and insightful author Trish Williford is, who can captivate an audience and unveil a heated and emotional story that will amaze, stun and impress. 4 stars.

The Girl and the Gargoyle (The Girl and the Raven Book 2) by Pauline Gruber – Review by Jenni Bishop

The Girl and the Gargoyle (The Girl and the Raven, #2)The Girl and the Gargoyle by Pauline Gruber
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The Girl and the Gargoyle is a YA paranormal romance and the second book in The Girl and the Raven by Pauline Gruber. Before starting this book, you should read the first book The Girl and The Raven and in quick succession as there is a lot of layers. It is a quick read, and I definitely enjoyed it. It is original and different to other paranormal romance stories. The characters are also a little different to your straightforward usual paranormal critters. There are demons and witches and gargoyles and an evil father on the hunt. As I said with the first book there are secrets and lies, magic and a wealth of unusual. YA’s will love this book.

Repair: An Everyday Heroes World Novel (The Everyday Heroes World) by Trish Williford is a contemporary brother’s best friend second chance romance story. I have read a few stories from The Everyday Heroes World which are different stories by different authors. This sweet love story by Trish is a bit emotive as two people cross paths again and hopefully put their past behind them. One awkward night lies and secrets and a lot of heartache and water under the bridge that needs to be repaired to move forward. It is a quick and entertaining read.

Master Descallia (Masters of the Consulate Book 1) by Sylvia Black – Review by Alexandria Richard

Descallia: Dark Vampire Romance (Masters of the Consulate Book 1)Descallia: Dark Vampire Romance by Sylvia Black
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I really enjoyed this paranormal mystery romance. This def took some turns I was not expecting! A quicker read than I was expecting too as it kept me so riveted!

I’m not sure I fall for the insta-lust between Luce and Salvatore, but I did enjoy the attraction to one another and mystical the connection they had. I enjoyed that it was more of a slow burn romance with sexual tension building. I also enjoyed the twist on who Luce could be and why she hates the nickname Lucy.

Some BDSM or Dom/Sub vibes but not overtly BDSM.

I really liked Luce’s growing friendship and working relationship with Clay, Terrence, Silver, and Lucas. I also enjoyed scenes with Embry and the levity she brings to a fairly dark story.

Trigger warning for abduction and attempted trafficking of women.

The Singer and Her Song (Empire at Twilight Book 2) by N.L. Holmes – Review by Charlene Yates

The Singer and Her Song (Empire at Twilight #2)The Singer and Her Song by N.L. Holmes
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book was awesome. I love how the writer adds in the PTSD and anger problems which indicated mental health problems which are not at all easy to manage. This causes Uqnitum’s sons to run away as her mental health and anger takes a major toll on the family. I don’t want to get into it too much and give away spoilers but I think the author Holmes is really able to tune into history and studies up on a subject and culture before trying to write a novel which is really commendable. The novel is extremely well written with high vocabulary usage, and heart wrenching stories all intertwined in one. This isn’t a standalone novel, as it is the second in the series. I love the history in this novel and I think people can misinterpret it to be boring if they don’t allow the scene to be set up for them so you get a glance at what the 13th/14th century looked like, and can actually see the book happening while you read it. Don’t lead others mislead you before you try and read the book with an open mind and a willingness to be taught as it is historical fiction, but not taught forcibly.

I end up under the protection of the Satan’s Devils, an outlaw motorcycle club in Arizona. The woman I was would have been in her element among a group of handsome, rugged bikers; the disabled woman I am now feels scared and vulnerable, and soon I find this isn’t the safest place to hide.
But with a contract out on me, there’s nowhere else for me to go, and maybe one reason to stay. Wraith, the VP.

She doesn’t fit into our world. Hell, even if she wasn’t in that damn wheelchair she’d be out of her depth. But as soon as I saw her something attracted me to her.
From the start I wanted her, but she thinks she’s undesirable and is scared of taking a man to her bed as though her disability defines who she is. I’m going to need to teach her she’s wrong.
But before I can take my chance everything goes to shit. She’s under our protection, but we fail to protect her from one of our own.

Sign Steal Deliver (Gods of Thunder MC) by Carrie Pulkinen – Review by Char Wahtomy-Alba

This was another great read by this author. I have come to enjoy her books quite a bit. It was a different twist on how one views the God’s of Olympus. Kathryn Gataki has stolen the heart of Hermes as well as his caduceus staff. It’s harmless though right? It’s all in good fun so he thinks, until he finds out who is truly behind the theft. All those years ago what he thought was a harmless trick on the God of the Wild has seriously come back to bite him in the butt. Will he be able to get his caduceus back from Pan in order for Kat’s life to be spared?

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I’m going to start by saying that this book was a lot of fun. However, it was also very sweet. Repair: An Everyday Heroes World Novel is by Trish Williford. This is the first book that I have read from her and was pleasantly surprised. This story follows Charlotte “Charlie” Hawkins. Charlie was living the life that she chose as a Nurse in Denver. She had what she thought was a perfect life. That is until her fiancé’s mistress comes forward with the fact that she is now pregnant with his baby! So with that being said, she goes back home where is she is faced with her brother’s best-friend Tank, who just happens to be someone that she has been in love with for a very long time.
I just enjoyed the banter between her, her brother and Tank. You can tell they are all really close. It was great to see the development of each of the characters. It was adorable seeing how much Tank really cares for Charlie. I was really engulfed in this book and how I felt like I was a part of their little crew and the story itself. I would really recommend this book to anyone who loves books that are sweet and sexy. I cannot wait to read more from this author and look forward to more sweetness and sexiness.

The Third NannyThe Third Nanny by Michele Pariza Wacek
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The Third Nanny
Whoa! Hold up a minute. What just happened? Those statements and questions were exactly what I was saying throughout the book. Talk about a thriller, “thriller” puts it mildly in the aspect of keeping you on your edge if you’re a guesser so to speak. As a reader I like to guess the actions and the ending plot of books but Wacek kept me twisting in my chair so to speak. It isn’t a horror book, or terribly scary. It does have a creeper factor that raises hair on your neck when reading parts of “The Third Nanny”. This book called to me and called to me and didn’t lose my focus which is always a good sign of a good writer that knows how and when to capture it’s readers. I didn’t like the ending but that’s to everyone’s taste honestly, I mean if we didn’t like it then phooey on us, because it isn’t like we wrote the book its preference. The ending is great I just wanted more, I wanted to be left with more I crave more. I will be reading more from this author!

Charlotte grew up in Sunnyville, CA. For the last eight years, she has been a trauma nurse in Denver, CO. But she’s moving home. Yes, Sunnyville General is not a Level One trauma center like where she works in Denver, but nothing is holding her in Denver.

Trent, Tank, Easton has been best friends with Jude, Charlotte’s brother since his family moved to town. He almost messed that up eight years ago when he had a one night stand with his sister. Tank is convinced that Charlotte is the girl for him. Hopefully, he will be able to convince her that she saved his life then and made him a better person. He hopes to convince her that their love is the forever kind of love.

Repair is that wonderful kind of romance where past hurts can be left there and a future is found. Join Charlotte and Trent as they try to start over from the past.

Wow! I stayed up into the wee hours of the night because I couldn’t put it down! Literally from the time I started the book to the last page, I didn’t put it down. I loved Hawke. A tragic and tortured hero with an awful childhood will break your heart and make you scream. At the same time, you will totally understand his issues. I didn’t connect as much to Charlotte, but loved her insistence. It isn’t a light read, but I felt the author handled dark subjects very well. The plot and romance were believable. I look forward very much to the next book with Caine’s story.

Whew, I’d love to see this one on the big screen. Serious movie material right here. I want to see Salvatore’s eyes go from black to red!! Anyone else? I really love the characters and the action in this novel. Luce is my kind of heroine – from her choice of coffee to her instinct to protect and serve. She felt like someone I could walk into a precinct and meet. Salvatore is your Mr. Tall, Dark and Powerful, but is taken down by some green crystalline eyes. He has got that vampire sexiness down. The action started right off with women coming up missing. It’s a great read with a great mix of several elements.

Flirting with the Enemy was a sweet story. I did have a lot of questions as I was reading since it really jumped in right at the start. I was glad that they were able to be answered as the story went on. I loved Zane’s character! Elle was a good character but I had difficulty at times connecting with her. She frustrated me because her train of thinking was all over the place at times and I just had a hard time with her. I did connect with her on a personal level when she was taking care of Joyce. It resonated with me regarding things going on in my life right now. Overall, it was a good story. The epilogue had me confused at first but then it made sense at the end. I would read more books by this author.

I absolutely loved this book. The second chance love story always gets my attention and this one definitely did not disappoint. I feel like the characters were well developed and their stories weren’t overdrawn in detail. Charlie and Trent were very sweet and I loved the she was his redemption. There was the right amount of heat and sweet in this love story as well as reliability. I liked the dynamic of Charlie’s siblings as well as the other people in their lives. Also, the drama wasn’t drawn out and what was included fit well within the plot. It wasn’t forced or drawn out taking away from the main intent. This small town, second chance for love story really hit its mark.

(There was also an allusion to Dorothy from The Wizard of Oz and that there is no place like home. That earned some bonus points from me!)
