Repair (Rescue Me Book 1) by Trish Williford
Until a year ago, my life in Denver was nearly picture perfect; I had my dream job as a nurse in a level one trauma center, my handsome trauma surgeon fiancé and I were blissfully happy, and we had built our forever home we planned to spend forever in. Just weeks before our wedding, the ideal life I knew took an unexpected turn when my fiancé’s mistress came forward with her pregnancy.
Being newly single at thirty-one, the last thing I had envisioned for myself was to return to my hometown of Sunnyville, California. Until now, I have successfully avoided this town for the last eight years, thanks to Tank Easton. Broody, sexy, lying, beautiful, selfish jerk.
Who just happens to be my brother’s best friend.
Knowing there is no way to avoid Tank, I plan to put our one-night stand behind us and start anew. Be cordial. Possibly become friends eventually, for my brother’s sake. Life is too short to hold grudges. Forgive and forget, right?
Harder said than done.

Fury of Conviction (Dragonfury Series Book 2) by Coreene Callahan – Review by Lauren West

Fury of Conviction (Dragonfury Short Story Collection, #2)Fury of Conviction by Coreene Callahan
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the second book in the series, and it was a very good read. Its a first for me by this author and I truly enjoyed it. Book 1 will be next for me.
Hamersveld and Natalie were such a cute and unexpected couple. Hamersveld was a warrior and a leader and when he came across Natalie he became torn between his duty and his need for her. Natalie is beautiful, strong and immensely determined and independent. Her will to survive is what has driven her even after being taken away to be a breeder. Together we watch as their uncertain future plays out from kidnapped, to rescued, to the next unknown. Its a very good and short read.

I am a huge fan of supernatural books, and am so glad I found this series. I absolutely loved the first three books and was very excited to read the fourth. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and series. A.J. Renee does a great job at storytelling and really captivates her audience. The characters are also very relatable. I loved Renee’s writing style and her word choices. Cursed Touch was a very easy read and a wonderful story. Renee most definitely deserves 5 stars on this book and series!

BOY RELEASED (BOY SERIES BOOK 2) by JD Spero – Review by Elizabeth Sanchez

Boy ReleasedBoy Released by J.D. Spero
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Boy Released is the follow-up to J.D Spero’s Boy on Hold (and likely will not make sense if you didn’t read book 1). The story takes place 10 years later, when Tyler is released from psychiatric rehab. I had a hard time understanding the purpose of the book for the first half, then it all came together as to how it relates to the first book. Similar to the first book, I don’t feel like Hen acts his age- supposed to be 17 but is horrified by normal teen boy behavior. Perhaps what he went through as a child stunted his maturity… I’m not sure. But its not enough of an issue to withhold enjoyment in reading this story. While the book is told from the perspective of Marcella and Hen Trout, the story really is more of Tyler’s story. His actions and mental health are the reason for the story to be told. I loved the ending, and think it was perfect. If you enjoyed Boy on Hold, you should read Boy Released- it finishes the story and gives us, as the reader, resolution.

Bared. (A Green St. Girls Romance) by N.D. Jackson – Review by Jaclyn DeTullio

Bared. (Green St. Girls #1)Bared. by N.D. Jackson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The beginning of this story was heartbreaking, but because of it I was emotionally invested from the get go. I wanted to see how Athena would live. For herself, for Charlie. The Green St. Girls were such a pleasure to get to know, and I loved the dynamic they had. Chosen family, or sisters of the soul.

Athena was independent, sassy but struggling with such a huge loss. Then there was Tru. The banter with Tru was my favorite, their chemistry and how he broke through her barriers to get to the wonderful heart beneath. I loved this book, and I can’t wait for the next!

Hawke (Men of Syn, #1)Hawke by Anise Storm
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

What a rollercoaster that was. I feel like I loved and hated Charlotte and Hawke both, but somehow in the most enjoyable way. Most of the time I wanted to throttle Charlotte because she just kept crawling back for more. But…. I loooooooved it! And stayed up much too late devouring this story. Hawke is dark, with scars so deep he thinks there is no hope for him. Charlotte is impulsive, and even though she drove me nuts at times, she did what Ryder told her. She fought for him, even when she probably shouldn’t have. This is steamy, and will make you hate and love and blush, a wicked convocation. Read it!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Book 1 of the Masters of the Consulate series, Master Descallia, truly captivated my interest in this new author. Her writing is beautifully done, with wonderful character development. It’s always impressive when you really get a feel for the unique personalities of multiple characters in such a short book (I want to read more about Embry!). The beginning wasn’t too drawn out and the action started immediately after a brief opening. Master Descallia is a strong and domineering character and I can certainly see why Luce is so drawn to him! Must read!

An Enduring Love by Wareeze Woodson – Review by Betsy Melano

An Enduring LoveAn Enduring Love by Wareeze Woodson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

An Enduring Love by Wareeze Woodson is a historical romance of how time away from the one you love can change how you feel. Rebecca and Rhys met and married in Latvia when Rhys was there as a British diplomat. Soon after the wedding, Rhys travelled back to London because his father was very ill. Rebecca’s mother happened to be sick and Rebecca stayed in Latvia with the plan to join Rhys in a month. Unfortunately, Rebecca was being held in Latvia and did not make it to England. About this time Rhys was notified that Rebecca and her mother had passed away. What a horrible situation for both of them. Four years later, Rebecca gets a chance to leave Latvia with the help of her maid’s brother. When she finally reaches England and shows up at the door, Rhys is shocked and acts as though he is unhappy Rebecca is alive. This becomes very apparent to Rebecca and she feels like all the pain and trouble she had to go through to get to England was a complete waste.

Although this historical romance wasn’t exactly what I usually expect from Ms. Woodson, I did get sucked into Rebecca’s experience in Latvia and her troubled travels to get away. I was sad about Rhys’ reaction but can also understand that he thought Rebecca was dead and had grieved for her already. I’m not sure How I would feel in his place.

Dark Bastard (Dark Sparrow, #5)Dark Bastard by India Kells
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Dark Bastard is the fifth book in the Dark Sparrow series by India Kells. I have read this series from the first book to this book, each one better than the one before it. The storyline deals with a dark subject. The characters are fully developed and complicated. One thing I love about India Kells is her attention to detail. She paints a vivid picture with her details. This book talks about the darkest secret of human emotions. Sam is struggling and has resolved what he feels he must do. He feels his mission is over on New Year’s Eve. He reached out to his brother, or so he thought it was going to be his brother. He, in fact, found someone else that he wants to help. He needs to deal with some darkness to be able to help Ellie. Will he be able to save Ellie and himself from the darkness? I highly recommend this book and the other book in this series.

Sign Steal Deliver (Gods of Thunder MC) by Carrie Pulkinen
4 Stars

The thing I love most about this author’s books is that they are lighthearted romantic comedies with a paranormal twist. I adored the fact that this book included Greek deities. I love Greek mythology! The Fates picked a perfect match when they chose Hermes and Kat; the god of thieves and a cat burglar. Things are definitely not smooth sailing especially after Kat steals from him. This leads them both on a wild escapade of godly proportions.

The story will capture your attention and the characters will capture your heart. I truly hope Ms. Pulkinen decides to write more adventures with the other gods. This is a definite must read!

Bared. (A Green St. Girls Romance) by N.D. Jackson – Review by Karen Marsh

Bared. (Green St. Girls #1)Bared. by N.D. Jackson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This was my first book with N.D. Jackson, and I can easily say this is one of the best romance books I have read in a while. Bared was an amazing read from start to finish! The easy feeling of the authors descriptions (especially of emotions and eyes) makes the reading fly by so fast. The book focuses on Athena from the Green St. Girls, who are her closest friends, and the love that she didn’t want but truly needed.

Athena is rich, strong, and independent. She is also not quick to use the word love for anyone except her girls. When Tru walks into the scene, that doesn’t change that fact. The quirky moments between the girls and between Athena and Tru, brings the characters to life! I very much look forward to reading more about the Green St. Girls!

This was my first time reading Sylvia Black. I think the author did a wonderful job developing the history and story line of the vampire consulate going up against a Big Bad that threatens their existence. Eventually, all the Masters are going to have to fight back against the Big Bad, as they fall in love and find their mates. This was the first of the Masters to fall in love and find his mate. I felt like all the characters were believable (as much as any vampire book!) and look forward to reading more about how the other Masters will fall in love and find their mates.

Please note that this book is definitely for adults; as there are adult elements that are described.

The God (Her Three Immortals, #2)The God by Hazel Storm
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

We start off this book right where we ended book one – which is HUGE for me as a reader. There is no backtracking or second-guessing a scene that we may have missed. Vanessa is acclimating to the afterlife and being stuck in Grey’s top-floor penthouse. She meets Gorgonita who is her ticket to keeping track of her family and how they are doing after her death. She meets PK, who could LITERALLY eat anyone out of house and home, but seems so adorable I don’t think that I would mind. Add in the surprise elements of Aroz, a long-lost soul, and some family reunions, and this book was EVERYTHING I didn’t know that I needed. I cannot wait for Hazel’s next installment for this series.

Journeys Through SpaceTimeJourneys Through SpaceTime by James Talisman
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I’ll be honest Journeys Through SpaceTime by James Talisman is not something I usually read; I normally stick with thriller books. However, I do not regret branching out and trying something new. Many things are happening, a lot of action, some danger, and mystery also. I wasn’t quick to figure what would happen. I thought I could guess; usually, I am pretty good at it, but Journeys Through SpaceTime kept me guessing the whole time. There are many characters, but it’s not so many that it is overwhelming because James Talisman provided a character list at the beginning of the book that really helps to understand who everyone is. The amount of detail written about the characters and what they’re facing/dealing with is so good. I felt like I was there with them like I have known these characters for a long time. It’s worth the read, and I don’t think anyone would be disappointed by taking the time to read it. I would encourage everyone to read it, even if it were a genre you would normally read. Leap and try it out!

Master Tuscano is the second book in the Masters of the Consulate series by Sylvia Black. This is a delicious paranormal romance- with a bit of a dark tone, vampires, shifters, witches, revenge, an underworld society, politics, supernatural elements, drama, danger, agendas, action, adventure, emotion, tension, chemistry, and sizzling hot details.
After reading the first book and loving what I discovered, I really couldn’t wait to dive into this book. I jumped right in and devoured every word in my lunch break. Sylvia Black has definitely gained a stalker, um, I mean a fan, yes, a fan who has developed a bit of an addiction to her fantastic stories! I need another fix, STAT- so I am really excited to find that there are 12 books planned for this series! Colour me happy!
Bring on book #3!!!

An Enduring Love by Wareeze Woodson is an historical romance packed full of so much drama and angst it gave me a headache reading it. I have to be honest here, this book frustrated me to death. It had so much potential. But Rhys ruined it lol…. I hated Rhys with a passion and just wanted to throttle home the whole way through the book. He was just such a jerk, so cruel to Rebecca- and quite unnecessarily so!! The push-pull gave me whiplash, and there was so much manufactured drama and contradictions that I really did have to force myself to keep reading.
I have enjoyed the other books of Ms. Woodson’s that I have read previously, so I was hoping the whole way through the story that Rhys would redeem himself- but in the end he didn’t, and the little he did do was too little too late.
I found the story hard to get into and couldn’t connect with the characters at all. I did feel sorry for Rebecca and all she went through- but I thought she could have done so much better than Rhys!
On to Wareeze Woodson’s next book. Stay tuned.

Thank you, Wareeze Woodson!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I really enjoyed this fantasy adventure. It is the first book in the Rise of The Celtic God’s and I can’t wait to read more. I love the way the author has mixed modern surroundings with mystical story’s and folk tales.
As well as the adventure there is also a romance between Smithy and Saoirse.

It starts off with Saoirse losing her job and finding out her father has died in an accident. But things start twisting and turning when Saoirse biological granny finds her and explains that she was adopted. So now Saoirse had questions about who her parents are.

While staying with her granny she meets Smithy. They are drawn together through their love of music but is there something more powerful bringing them together. Are they together to go up against a greater power which they can only defeat together?

It’s a beautiful story full of adventure, mythical folklore and a mixture of Irish music. There is something for everyone.

HOLD ME FOREVER (HERON HARBOR Book 3) by LEA NOLAN – Review by Angela Hayes

Hold Me ForeverHold Me Forever by Lea Nolan
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

 

5 Stars

 

Hold Me Forever is the third book in the Heron Harbor series by Lea Nolan. This series took me by surprise back in book one- I really wasn’t expecting to love it as much as I did. Considering that we met the MC’s in this book in the previous book/s (where they were supporting characters), and the fact that I really loved the first two instalments meant that I had high expectations for this book. So, after devouring it in one sitting, I am happy to say that it was even better than I had hoped for.
It is a contemporary, small-town, second chance romance, with plenty of sizzling chemistry, steamy scenes, drama, angst, and some wonderfully quirky, interesting and endearing characters.
Even though this could be read as a standalone, as each instalment focuses on one particular couple, I really recommend reading the first two books before starting on this one- as having a cast of recurring characters who appear in each instalment, means there are plenty of interesting details contained in the previous instalments which are really worth knowing, as I feel that would enhance your reading experience of this book.
I had already loved Hunter from the previous books, and I was quite intrigued by Lark and wanted to know so much more about her as I found her a little mysterious (in previous books). So it was really great to finally get to know her better, and also see what these two had in store for themselves. Lark and Hunter have a bit of a complicated past- and have been apart for 6 years. But the spark between them still burns- and it doesn’t take much to rekindle it into a fiery blaze. What happens between the local town sheriff and the quirky, free spirited artist? This is definitely worth the read to discover all the wonderful details for yourself.
I really hope this isn’t the last we will see of Heron Harbor.
Looking forward to seeing what Ms. Nolan does next.

Thank you, Lea Nolan!

Master Descallia : Dark Vampire Romance (Masters of the Consulate Book 1) by Sylvia Black

This is the first book I’ve read by Black. Although it won’t be my last. This is the first book in the Masters of Consulate Series. It follows Luce and Salvatore through their story.

Lucianna works on the police force and has powers. Dealing with missing women is what she is working on. Then something happens to her and she is forced to resign. The quote I chose for Lucianna is: “I have to go. They were both dueling with too many powers, Salvatore. They needed time to recharge before they went after Embry, and we don’t know that it’s not a trap. Nothing has been as it seems. I have to go. She needs me.”

Salvatore isn’t looking for a mate because he lost his mate a long time ago. When Lucianna comes into his life she turns it upside down. Dealing with missing women and dealing with Luce turns out to be a trip. The quote I chose for Salvatore is: “Look at me! This is not on you but the piece of human trash who hates us because we’re different. Hates us because we have rules and don’t condone the mistreatment and slavery of women, even humans. He has been at odds with us since we put controls on the syndicate business. You were caught in the middle because Morgan told you and he knew you were coming to work for me. He wanted you taken out before you had a chance to learn any more, or work with me.”

Highly recommended forVampire Paranormal lovers.
