This is my first book I have read by CR Robertson. It is not my usual genre and it took me a little while to get into the book but I am glad I stuck with it because it turned out to be a great book. My favorite parts were the action kicking butt scenes. Also it is a good mix with the sexy romance between Levi and Sasha. They are truly a forbidden mix of lovers. Long lost family is reunited and its nice to see everyone back together.

I was excited to read this book and continue reading the second story in this series. I wasn’t disappointed! I honestly didn’t know if he could take me into a space story any more than he already had, but gosh was I wrong! I think I loved this book even more than the first one. I am so glad that he continued using the same characters and delved into their stories more. It was so nice to see how they were all connected not just in the now, but in the past as well. Once again, I felt like I was on this journey myself. A part of their group. He even threw some loops at me in this book and WHOA! I wasn’t prepared for some of the surprises I received. This could be read as a stand-alone story, but in my opinion, you truly do need to read the first book to really enjoy how well he writes and describes these characters and their world around them. Fans of sci-fi books will not be disappointed, and I highly encourage them to read it. However, even if you aren’t a fan of sci-fi I think you will still appreciate and love the journey that the author takes you on.

This is definitely a good sci-fi read! I love the futurist tone that it sets. Everyone in the world is forced to wear a chip, which records every aspect of the characters’ lives. Without one, the characters are not able to have a job, bank account , or medical insurance. One day Dr. Cole Westbay wakes up, only to discover that his chip has been removed.
I really did enjoy how the action and adventure unfolded in front you so effortlessly and I found myself lost in this futurist, fantasy world. I would have loved to see a little more depth to the characters, but in this plot and story-line it served this book wonderfully.
First of all, let me say that this book was so refreshing! I was at the edge of my seat and it was getting so good I did NOT want to put it down! The imagery of the author, the style of writing from the POV of the character, and the way that the story still haunts me after it is over are all breathtaking! I’m looking forward to the rest of this series. I think the best thing about the book is me forgetting the initial synopsis, and simply walking through the story with Branson and his entire family. This is one book that does not disappoint and shines a bright light on the state of mental health in this world.

Billiter – Review by Ashley McMillon
As a first time reader of a Kimberly Packard book, I am completely in awe of this book and the story line. I knew from the moment that I read the description of the book that I absolutely had to read it. And Kimberly Packard did not disappoint.
Jimmy Dire is able to give individuals with terminal illnesses who know they will die an opportunity to live out a dream, or a bucket list wish. As sinister and depressing as this may sound at first, how intriguing would it be to live out a bucket list action or dream that you always wanted to fulfill?
The characters are deep and rich, showing you emotions at a whole new level. The book is full of emotions, secrets and adventures. And I could not put this down.

YA Fantasy is not my usual pic, however I am glad I took a chance on this book. I love reading about villains and this book does not disappoint. Along with the self discovery of the main character. I recommend this book. It will be worth it.

This was a short opposites attractive insta-love story. Brody is a Hollywood actor trying to take a break before his next role. Willa is a free spirit house sitting her grandfather’s place next door. From the moment they meet there is an instant attraction and Brody starts to realise that he’s been missing something in his life. Willa has an ex that won’t take no for an answer but finds that Brody could be the first guy she might want to settle down with. These two were so sweet with each other, both finding an instant attraction to the other. I did not like meddling Carmody, and I’m not sure why she was allowed to stick around for so long. Hayden, the ex, was kind of likeable but also an idiot. Even though this story was short, you got to know the characters as they got to know each other.

Charlotte Claybrooke is a woman with a career as a life coach, but she feels like she is drowning in the all consuming grief resulting from a tragedy ten years in her past which she still has not gotten over, she feels like an imposter in her own life and that the lies she feeds to those around her and those who look to her for advice and counsel are starting to pile up around her and all she wants to do is escape, so she fills in the forms and packs, ready to go on an adventure with the Dire’s Club. Jimmy Dire is the founder of the Dire’s Club, it is a place where the terminally ill and dying can have a last adventure before their light leaves the world, it is a passion and Jimmy knows it is also the right thing to do, it is something that can make the biggest difference to someone and help them to remember that they are more than just a diagnosis, but like all things it is expensive.
As he is preparing for his latest group of Diers, he pushes all that to the back of his mind and greets the group after his assistant has introduced him and let them all get settled, it is a mixed bag of an ageing Rockstar, a young genius, an older mother figure, an actress and telenovela star and last to arrive is Charlotte, the group generate mixed feelings in Jimmy, but all he sees are five people ready for the last big adventure in their lives. They have all chosen their last wish and he has created an itinerary which will take them on a three week tour round the world to accomplish it, as the group gets to know each other and the last of the paperwork is filled in and filed, they are all sent to get some rest before the first adventure starts. There is a mix of excitement, trepidation, worry and happiness as the travellers support each other and band together as they share the experiences organised for them, it is in the midst of this that things take an unexpected turn and they all have to band together to solve a problem, that is until tragedy strikes and the foundations they have built together start to crumble and fall apart.
A few days later, one of the group lands themselves in hot water and despite best efforts, things take another turn for the worse and it looks like there is only way that this can end and the Diers have to try and band together again to help, but can they all get past their differences and help, or will lies and fraud rip them further apart? This is an emotional rollercoaster which will whisk you away on a beautiful adventure and keeps you absorbed in the story and feeling everything the characters are feeling, all while making you ask yourself all the hard questions which occur to you while reading.

This one starts out with a premise we’ve seen before – for one reason or another, a woman finds herself in a bind due to a little white lie that snowballs quickly. Ivory, matchmaker by trade, tells a reporter doing a feature on her business that she has a boyfriend, and now needs to find one PDQ! Enter sexy young intern Li Qiang, who volunteers to fill the role and save her skin, and hilarious hijinks ensue. Ivory is a tad on the clueless side, and seems to be unable to assess the information in front of her as to whether or not her burgeoning real feelings for the intelligent faux beau are reciprocated or not. Putting that aside, this story does actually go to some interesting places emotionally, adding some depth and shadow to the pairing that is pretty interesting. The book is romantic, whimsical, and sultry with some nuance to the characters I found entertaining. A good read.

Lil and Gage have that special something that most grown women dream of, wish for, and deem ‘relationship goals.’ Despite their previous relationships that ended in tragedy, and the initial need to fight that zing that they both feel, they cautiously explore a friendship, and recognize the potential that could have them be so much more. I felt as though Vi Summers did an amazing job introducing the reader on The North Shore Crew members, their different connections, and the lifelong friendships that they’ve shared. They are each other’s chosen family, and the drama and growth that each of them goes through and their support system leaves the reader wanting and appreciating their friendships as well. I absolutely adore the connection that Lil and her brother Josh ‘Mickey’ share, how we see how the two main characters deal with their own grief and losses, and encourage the reader to be stronger, and to appreciate the little things.
The only thing was that I felt as though the book was a wee bit long. The first half does tend to drag a bit, only because it’s a lot of build up to Lil and Gage’s HEA. Once you hit the 50% mark, things start to really pick up, and the reader is drawn in, if anything like me, and finishing the remainder of the book in one sitting. There are a lot of raw emotions, some graphic events, lots of love, care, and sincerity. A++ from this avid reader, very much looking forward to indulging in more by this author, specifically Break for Me, where we’ll get to dive into Mace and Jess’s adventure!

Power packed with emotion! This book gets you from the start. Gage and Lil both come into the story with history. Written with amazingly well -written characters, the plot keeps you engaged with the main and supporting characters. They will go through good times, rough times and very challenging times. What makes the relationship is that they come through it together. They are there to support each other and get through it. The crew is all there for each other. This is one heck of book. I can’t wait to get out and get the rest of the series. Ms. Summers can write books that keep you locked in. Highly recommend.

Forbidden Mate (The Shadow Chronicles Book 2) by CR Robertson 5 Star!!!!!
I absolutely love Sherrilyn Kenyon and Cassandra Clare so of course I fell for this book series. I could not put this book down. I love how the forbidden love plays a part in it and that there is just as much adventure as romance comes to play in this book. The characters are well written. The author brings a fresh outlook to witches, lycans and vampires.
Tasha and Levi have the forbidden love that brings the reader in and the story draws you in deeper and deeper. I found that there was just enough action and drama that keeps the reader glued to your seat and not want to stop reading. I like how there is just enough of a carrot dangled to keep the reader wanting more and I for one cannot wait for the next book. Reviewed by @caraleeloonat

A Surprising story! It wasn’t what I expected at all. Sure there is sadness but there is overwhelming honesty, joy and relief. The story flowed along as I became entangled in these strangers lives. The characters are all easy to enjoy. Did I have a favorite? Probably Levi. He seems so happy go lucky and the friendship he and Charlotte grew was undeniable. Lourdes came in a close second. She is an honest woman with incredible strength.
The friendships this group made are probably the most joyful and honest since their diagnosis. This is a thought provoking and heartfelt story. I am thankful the author wrote this interesting take on life and death.

This story is good although not one of my favorites by this author. The story moves along at a nice pace and the characters are very down to earth. I just really struggled to feel the connection between these two characters. At times it would show up with his character but hers it just never came. She is a successful owner of her own company who has a lot of inner turmoil and hidden issues. I was just surprised someone who built their own company would act the way this character does.
I really enjoyed his family and her friend they were all good secondary characters. The younger brother added some comic relief to the story.
Overall I enjoyed the characters and the issues that were brought up are very true to form. It moves along and has a nice flow.

A fun and quick read to enjoy on a weekend. Well worth the purchase. This author was new to me. i enjoyed her style of writing as the main character is shy and you can see it in the writing. The plot is very entertaining. Who doesn’t enjoy reading about a developer who makes a dating app yet doesn’t have an SO? I always love these stories as the scramble is on to find one. Her assistant is both smart and hot? Bingo. Their interactions were well-developed and realistic, funny too. For a book nerd like me (yes, I admit it!), this book hits all the right spots. Run out and get it, go order or do whatever you do to read it. Highly recommend you read it.

Ride For Me is the first book in the North Shore Crew series by Vi Summers. The North Shore Crew are a group of best friends who have been friends since childhood and still best of friends. I had never read any of this author’s work before but I was intrigued by the blurb of this book and decided it was worth giving it a try. I’m so glad that I decided to take a chance on this book as I thoroughly enjoyed it. This first book gives us the story of Lil. Lil is the life and soul of the party and is recovering from a very bad break up. Gage comes to stay with his cousin who is one of the crew. He has heartbreak in his past and it trying to move on with his life and he’s shocked by the reaction that he has to meeting Lil. This is not some cheesy romance story, there is so much more going on in this book. It has danger and mystery and intrigue to add to the romance and I was really gripped by the storyline of this book. The thing I loved most about this book is the friendship, love and camaraderie that the crew all have for each other. This is such a tight knit group and I loved reading about them and can’t wait to read more from this series.

Written In The Stars was a great read! I actually forgotten I had read the first book in this series, and when I started reading this one all the same emotions came back. This was the best emotional story I have read in a while. I laughed, I cried, I got mad, this book had me enthralled with everything from beginning to end. If you enjoy an emotional read with all the feelings this is definitely the book for you. I can’t wait to read the next installment!

If you have never read anything by Linda Burson, do yourself a favor and start with this boxed set. I can promise you, you will not even be finished with book one (Rage) before you are craving more of this series. This book series has a little bit of everything and stirs up just about every human emotion. Some characters are lovable, some you love to hate but the coolest part is seeing the evolvement as the series progresses. I have lost track of how many times the characters frustrated me beyond belief. What blows my mind the most about this series is that each book is even better than the last. I can’t stress enough how much I recommend this series, or Linda Burson’s writing in general.

Burson – Review by Felicia Bates
I loved this short and sweet whirlwind romance between Brody and Willa. A story of 2 strangers that meet in the night, through a strange mishap, that instantly have a connection. The best part about this book was the banter and playfulness that the characters had. As a girl who loves a good romance novel, for as much banter as the two had, I was wishing for a little more detail in the sex department. The most endearing part, for me however, was the fact that Brody handled himself, as to what I believe, a true man should. He was kind, supportive, patient, caring, sexy, playful, down to earth, but also driven. Lets just say Willa wasn’t the only girl falling in love with him!!

I have seen countless reviews for this book claiming that five stars simply aren’t enough to explain how amazing it is.. and I am in 100% agreement with all of these reviewers! A.K. did such an amazing job with this story and I am looking forward to going through everything she has to offer and absorbing every word. Adam and Maddie’s story is something incredible. He has a tough history and is hard to approach, grumpier than a normal 30-something-year-old man, and has forgotten all the potential good he has to offer. Maddie has been struggling with her family about her life choices for as long as she can remember and feels as though she cannot please them while staying true to herself. It is in the peace they find watching each other and getting to know each other that they are able to slowly put themselves back together and push past those hard things to create better futures for themselves. Slow burn is an adequate description of this story, but it is ABSOLUTELY worth the wait.

These was a great boxset. I really enjoyed all these books and how they are a progression following our main character Marcy.
Book one is Rage. This was a whirlwind story following Marcy as she deals with the uncontrollable rage she suffers with the world. Why does she feel this way? What has turned her into this angry person? With her rage overtaking her life and her risking losing her friends and her boyfriend she knows she needs to get help. Through her rage she comes to the attention of Liam. Liam sees something in Marcy and believes she is what he needs for his mission to get revenge on his families killers. This connection between them takes them on a journey neither expect.
Book 2 is Confusion. This is the perfect title for this book as Marcy is in a constant state of confusion over who she should be with. So she had relationships with both Brad and Liam. Both men love her in different ways but how long will they be willing to share her. And when that time comes can she choose between them. Add to this the secrets and revelations that keep showing up about Marcy’s past. She knows if she shares her past she can start to heal. But she is unsure whether or not to do that. Brad and Liam both have their own problems and confusion as well with keeps this story gripping and keeps the reader turning pages.
Book 3 is Agony and Ecstay. This book follows on from book 2 pretty much straight away which means the story flows seamlessly. We are back with Marcy. Still torn between Bard and Liam, she is now engaged to Liam. However she can’t deny her feelings for Brad. When will the crunch time come for her to make a decision once and for all about who she will be with. I can’t really say much without giving the story away. What I will say is that the truth behind Marcys nightmares comes to light, revenge is finally met and secrets are revealed which could blow Liam and Marcy’s relationshop apart and send her running back to Brad.
This book set has been an enjoyable journey from the start and I can’t wait to read the rest of the books in the series to fully complete the journey.

In book 1, Forbidden Wolf, you fell in love with the two main characters, Levi and Tasha. In this second book, you fell in love with their story and the strength that love can provide. Levi and Tasha once again are trying to win this war against the hellspawn (and those that oppose their connection). At every turn, the couple is dealing with diversity, and when things start to look up, something else gets in their path. But the bond and strength and uniqueness of being mated helps conquer even the most turmoil of situations. One thing I just love about paranormal romances is the way authors talk about bonds, love, soul mates, etc. It is done in such a way that you yearn for those feelings. CR Robertson writes in a fashion where I can physically feel what these characters are feeling just by reading the words – that’s talent.

This was my first book by Natalina Reis, as well as an age gap where the woman is older. I assumed this book would be very cheesy from reading the description but found out during the first few pages it’s very natural. Ivory Tower’s skepticism with love is very relatable and doesn’t seem forced or cliche. While reading the book at first I did think it was a little weird that the author repeated the character’s full name like “Li Quang” and “Amber Lee” consistently, but I found it helped the characters stick in my head. I loved this book and am looking forward to reading more by this author.

This box set includes the first three books from this series (which at the time of this review, the series has thirteen books total). An important thing you have to know going into this is that our subconscious mind operates behind the scenes 24/7 and exerts influence over every aspect of our daily life. When you read these books with that understanding, you can truly grasp what is happening with Marcy. From the context of understanding how our brain influences us without us consciously being aware of it, you can see how behavior is actually communication. I think this is the key concept in getting the most out of these stories. I enjoyed reading these books. They evoke a lot of emotional response and worm their way into your head so you find yourself thinking about them even when you’re not reading.

Burson – Review by Naomi McDonald
As someone who lives with mental illness everyday I really liked that Billiter had the story in two points of view and then in three. Showing the story from the mother, Tara’s point of view and the son, Branson’s point of view, who actually has the mental illness. Then they throw in Trevor’s point of view which I think adds a lot more dimension to the story! Reading what Branson is going through and how tough it is on his mom really shows that when someone has mental illness they aren’t the only ones that it effects. Even though it might effect them the most it has an effect on everyone they love. As the story goes on it’s interesting to see how Branson’s mental illness develops and how he’s been dealing with it for so long. Also, the ending kind of reminded me of the movie Split, it was just the ending though the rest of the story was all it’s own it even talks about a different mental illness than Split. I think it’s important that more people are aware of mental illnesses, how many there actually are, and how it really effects the person and the people around them. I think this book is perfect for people to kind of know how it might effect peoples lives even though it’s fiction it’s a perfect book to kind of get an idea and kind of a stepping stone if you want to learn more.

Adam moved to hideout and live with his grief and guilt. Both of them have their own demons to work through but they are certainly drawn together. After all Maddie does say “Your broken parts were made to fit mine”. Adam has made a lot of progress after a few weeks but when Maddie invites him to her mom’s birthday party things go off the rails.

I really enjoyed this book. The characters were great. They held so much emotion you couldn’t help but feel it for them. I highly recommend this book!
