Rivals is the last book in the Mafia Elite series, and I found by the end of the book I wanted the story to keep going. At the eginning of the book there is a breakdown of who’s who in each Mafia family, which is great if you’re not familiar with this type of crime drama, or haven’t read the provide books in the series. Rivals can be read as a stand alone novel.
The chapters written from the two main characters, Mia and Nico, point of view written in first person. This makes the story interesting as The reader can see how the story unfolds from each person. I found this technique pulled me into the plot and wondered what was going to happen next. The story is a fast paced romantic suspense novel with just the right amount of romance thrown in the action. I will be going back to read the other books in the series!
Blood Sector: A Standalone Shifter Omegaverse Romance (V-Clan Book 1) by Lexi C. Foss 5 out of 5 Stars
Lexi Foss is one of my more favorite authors and when I learned of this new series, I had to jump right on it and it did not disappoint. Quinn and Kieran are striking together. Quinn is not the typical Omega when you think Omega. She has been running and hiding from her mate, Kieran, and alpha, for one hundred years, and if you are follower of Foss and series that she has written, you will know that Kieran has found Quinn, and he is not happy. Kieran is angry at Quinn for being gone for so long, but his anger is quiet. Quinn is used to the alphas who rage, scream and yell as they consider themselves to be entitled, but Kieran, is quiet in his rage, and that scares Quinn all the more.
The twists and turns this book takes, along with the white hot flames of passion and anger that blaze between Quinn and Kieran will keep you turning the pages faster than your fingers can keep up. Don’t be fooled by what you think will happen, because you won’t see what’s coming.

Foss – Review by Krystal Gregory
If mafia romances are your thing, you need to grab not only this book, but the entire series to read. You could read this a a stand alone if wanted but if you want to be able to relate to the characters, you need to read the other books in the series, this is book seven. As usual the author reels you in quickly the suspense and then with a bit of romance mixed in between. This book didn’t disappoint and I can’t wait to see what’s in store for the next mafia family

Mafia romance at its finest! I have not read any of the previous books in this series, and though I’m sure it would have added to the storyline I did not feel like I was missing any information! I loved the relationship between Mia and Nico, this author did a great job making you feel like you know the characters. I was drawn in from page one and could not put it down. I definitely feel the need to start back at the beginning and read the rest of these books! Review by @darianamee21
This is the first book I’ve read by the author. The Blood Prince is a fantastic read. I absolutely loved every minute of the book. Leo is the only one I chose a quote for because it seems hes the main character in this book.
Leo is the oldest of his siblings with his brother-in-arms being the same age. He’s had to watch his parents, sister, and brother die. Only for the next oldest brother to get another brother killed. Now they are trying to figure out what to do next. The quote I chose for Leo is: “Come on, Cael. Please, my brother -in-arms, my very best friend, would you have mercy on me and give me something to ease the pain of these excruciating wounds?”

Rivals: An Enemies to Lovers Mafia Romance (Mafia Elite #7) by Amy McKinley
This isn’t the first book I’ve read by the author. So far every single book is amazing in its own way. This book tops them all though. This is the seventh book in the Mafia Elite Series. I really can’t choose my favorite book.
Mia comes from a different side of the mafia. She isn’t sure where to fit in only to find her love in the La Rosa family. She finds that her father isn’t really her father. The quote I chose for Mia is: “I’ve only been here, Chicago, and Grand Cayman. I’m not sure where I would want to go. Maybe Italy? It’s hard to believe I’ve never been there, being Mafia and all.”
Nico was engaged and then stuff happened. Now he’s trying to figure out where to go from here. He meets Mia and knows that he’s got to have her. Then stuff went down and now they’re putting their lives on hold. The quote I chose for Nico is: “My sister urged me to purchase property here even if I wasn’t ready to build. That’s ours. We can build a house whenever you want.”
Together We Stand Vol. 2: A Charity Anthology for Ukraine is a collection of 18+ stories by various authors. Some are USA Today Bestsellers while others are new authors. I picked this up because I saw several authors I have read before and it has the added bonus of giving to charity to help those in Ukraine. I have only just started in on this book but have gotten a couple of the stories read. Each I have read is a wonderful story and I enjoy that each story is unique. The first story I read is Clara’s Story by C.A. King. I have enjoyed many of her books and looked forward to digging into this story. The story is a quick read but definitely throws an emotional punch. How does a family, and especially the mother move on after a tragic accident? The characters were relatable which helped make this story so emotional. The second story I read was Hidden Treasures by M.A. Abraham. This story is completely different from King’s. The story follows the Drakaina girls, protected by the Drakes. Every summer they go to private schooling that prepares them for living successfully in a world of humans and dragons. I really enjoyed the fantastical elements of this story and how the Drakes were explained. There was a lot of information for a shorter story but didn’t feel bogged down. I also enjoyed all of the characters and their interactions. This was a new author to me but I will look for more to read by them.

Leo has had a rough life with what he is. He doesn’t regret it though as he watches and protects his family. What he doesn’t realize is his younger brother ends up being like him. Now his family is on the run from demons who want to use his family. So much happens in this book, and it’s so great how smoothly it goes. Can’t wait for the next book if there is one!

This story is such a beautiful one. Max and Skylar come across each other in this town due to Maddie, Skylar’s daughter. Maddie. She will crack you up. She is a very inquisitive 8 year old. She is precious and precocious. Mom needs a male companion, according to her (not a boyfriend or a husband). The story is both serious and funny. I found the story and the characters relatable. The small town and it’s gossip chain is just like the town I grew up in. Before you can blink, everyone knows your business. The struggles that Max and Skylar go through in trying to build their relationship is nuts but they do stick with it and come out stronger. This is a couple I want to grow up and be like. The narrator felt a little old voice wise but he did a nice job. I do wish there had been a woman doing the female parts. That would be my only suggestion. It was a wonderful audio story.

This charity anthology is not only for a good cause, but it’s full of wonderful stories, all of which are well worth a read. I literally ‘binge read’ this book and thoroughly enjoyed each story, although, the anthology as a whole definitely took me on an emotional rollercoaster. Each story is by a different author and each one is a different genre, so there is a story for everyone! The authors have written tales covering everything from horror and persecution, to loss, and unfair struggles, which all lead to either new lives, new perspectives, or new romances.
Having read all of the entertaining, enjoyable and engaging stories, it’s hard to pick out just one or two. However, C.A. King’s, story ‘ Clara’s Story’, did stand out, following a tragic accident, a mother has to come to terms with the aftermath, and the life changing effects it’s had on her daughter. The mother also gets a second chance at love. The plot had me hooked from the start and I felt engaged with the characters, and immersed in their world. I found the storyline both heartwarming and at times heartbreaking, and although it’s a fairly short story the characters stayed with me. ‘A Wife from the Homefront’, by, Jordan Leger, also stood out for me, the story focuses on a husband and wife, separated when the husband is deployed. In this story the wife is having to manage at home with their young daughter. The storyline is about having a spouse in the military and the sense of loss and loneliness that they can feel, and of course worry for the one deployed. The plot also shows how the other spouses all support one another, and how with a bit of imagination the couples can still have intimate moments even when they are apart, which does lead to some steamy scenes.
The underlying theme in this anthology for Ukraine, is survival and survivors. Each story has a very well deserved HEA, and I was left with a sense of hope, inspiration and positivity for the future at the end of the anthology.

Mia has decided it is time to leave and betray her mafia family. Nico has been feeling like a real relationship is not in the cards for home. However Mia has other plans, she feels Nico is her only way to stay safe from her family and the other New York Mafia families. Nico has decided to go ahead and marry Mia and take down her family in the process. Mia also knows that if she betrays the Chicago mafia in anyway the only way she will come out is dead. Will they be able to take down her family and keep her safe in the process?
This book was such an emotional rollercoaster, in a way I really didn’t expect. I expected just a typical, second chance romance type story but this book was so much more. The complexity of it really drew me in. I loved the development between Josh and Mavis, I found myself rooting for them the whole way through. And yet, I couldn’t quite decide how I thought things might turn out. I loved the writing style in this book. Everything was so well developed, from the story to the characters. The author seemed to get every part of it right and has left me excited for what is to come next. I can’t wait to read the next instalment of this trilogy.
This is most definitely for those over the age of 18.
In this instalment of the Mafia Elite series, it is the turn of the quiet brother, he may not be one of the loudest in the family, but he is just as deadly as his other brothers, he is able to blend into the background, which is useful when he needs to glean information and he is extremely observant, because of this, he is underestimated, but not by Mia Tucci.

Mia’s attraction is mirrored, with violet eyes and midnight coloured hair, she is beautiful as well as dangerous, but as the two get to know each other their walls start to come down and it becomes harder to keep things on a slow path for the two.

I knew just from reading the description of this book that the heat and the chemistry between the main characters would be intense. I didn’t realise just how much! Sparks absolutely flew from the page each time they were together. The connection between them completely consumes you and you just get lost in them. This is one of those books where the storyline almost doesn’t matter because they characters are so captivating but the author has created a brilliant book to match. I loved reading what was going on and really felt like I was part of the journey. This is a hot and steamy story that just blew me away.

Scandalously Yours by Anise Storm is the fifth book in the Titans of Manhattan series. Much like the other fabulous contemporary romance books in this series, Scandalously Yours takes you on an emotional roller coaster ride with many amazing ups and some heart-wrenching downs. It takes a phenomenal writer to evoke extreme emotions in the reader, and Anise Storm does this with ease.
There are a few things in this book that could be considered triggers such as: toxic relationships, blackmail, manipulation, and even using children against the other party. That being said I would still recommend this book, because it is a great read with interesting characters.
Dr. Kristopher Simon had it all, but then his world was ripped apart as he was dragged through a very harsh public divorce. In walks Alessia fresh from her residency and ready to take the world by storm. Kristopher and Alessia have a night of passion that confuses both their professional lives and their feelings. Will what was supposed to be one night turn into more, or will the thought of another scandal end the chance for romance before it begins? Find out in this final installment of the Titans of Manhattan series.

An erotic novel with a great plot. This book will do more then keep you sated. This book in the series follows Noah and Callie.

Love’s Mulligan (Stroke of Love Book 1) by CA Miconi. I loved this second chance romance. Its the story of Harrison who’s image really needs a reboot so he’s getting married. His team has found the perfect bride who happens to be famous herself, a model. When he arrives at the venue, a hotel, where the wedding is taking place he meets the event planner who happens to be his high school love. Kelly was heart broken when Harrison left her and their hometown to explore his golfing possibilities. Harrison wants to make Kelly understand he never stopped loving her and that it should be her he’s marrying. He also doesn’t want to make Kelly look bad at her job so he knows a wedding has to take place for her sake. Will Kelly try to trust him again and fill in for the bride to be or will she not risk the heartache? This book was so good and I can’t wait to read the next one in the series.

This book was an amazing read that had a lot of unsuspected twists and turns. This is a love story that deals with love through different periods of life and some deception.
This book follows the story of Josh and Mavis. Years apart allows for a lot to change and many new secrets to hide. After 10 years apart what will happen when old memories and questions make staying away impossible? Especially leaving after spending the majority of your life with a group of people wanting to get answers from you and why you left.
Josh is a doctor that is going through a hard time with his home life and knowing what he needs to do next. Born and raised in California with his twin brother Austin. Austin is a witty and smart lawyer that works hard and loves hard. Mavis is the one that got away with dreams of being a writer and a lot of skeletons in her closet.
Want to discover what has been hidden for ten years? You will have to buy this book and get drawn into the world of this love story.
I don’t think I have ever read a book like this one and it’s going to be very difficult to do a review without giving away spoilers. The character build up in this book and the thought that this actually does happen in real life is just so relatable. I grew so attached to the characters especially Mav, Josh and Austin. There is a group of them but those three are the main ones that are in the triangle. The love, passion, suspense and all the things in this book. You don’t expect the ending and I can tell you my heart was racing and my cheeks were flushed and warm during reading this. Josh is so sweet and loving and patient and his calmness is sexy. Austin is the one who is more free but I also think he is a butthole, you will see why. Mav, well what happens is really hard to understand her and why she did what she did but goodness tell me how you’d have handled that situation. This book is realistic and relatable to me so I may be a bit biased but it’s one of the best books I think I have ready in a very, very long time. I felt like i knew these people. I really hope that my review helps you to give this book a chance and you love it and the characters as much as I do. Also, the epologue, there has to be another coming!

I can hardly put into words the impact this story had on me. I have long been intrigued by stories from WWII, but have never read anything prior to now from the perspective of occupied France. The story of Michelle Naget and her family is harrowing, powerful, and breathtaking.
The author did a wonderful job writing this story from the perspective of Michelle Naget in a memoir-type style. It is evident that the author took tremendous care of her story and was well-versed and researched creating an authentic account and story that is so impactful on the reader. Though this was a poignant story, it was also powerful story full of endurance, hope, and faith.
This will be a story that sticks with me forever and has truly made a lasting impact on me!

This is my first book I have read by Amy McKinley and all I can say is WOW! There is a reason I read this in one day. I could not put it down and I kept telling myself, one more chapter! Is it 3AM and I need to be up in 2 hours? Yes! Do I care? No, because I am almost done! Thanks to my caffeine addiction and Amy’s wonderful writing I didn’t get any sleep. But hey, it’s okay, because now I get to binge read this entire series!
I was a bit confused by all the different characters, let me tell you, there were a lot. Thankfully at the beginning of the book there is a list of who is who, and who married who, etc. But I am more of a picture person, so a big family tree of everyone would have helped me more. It’s okay though, because I got through. This was labeled as a standalone book in a series, and yes it was, Amy did an excellent job explaining the past to help you as the reader, and Mia as the main character catch up and know what is going on. I feel that I would have been a bit more interested in the beginning if I had read the first 6 books of this series.
I will admit, I was a bit jealous that Nico had such a big family and how every character had each other’s back. That made me wish I had something like that! Just another thing I get to daydream about. Alas, I still have to remember that there is a real world outside of Amy McKinley’s wonderful books.
Nico, oh Nico! He is the man of every woman’s dreams. When Nico and Mia made eye contact for the first time, you knew it was meant to be! I love their story, the character growth, how they would do anything for each other. Let’s be honest, Nico is just a big Teddy Bear with a tough outer shell. Mia’s father and step brother? They deserved everything that happened to them, and then some.
Do not mind me, while I buy every physical copy of this series, and all of the other books by Amy because she is such a good author and this book is so well written, descriptive, funny, full of adventure, and of course romance! Thanks Amy!!!
I was asked to review two stories from this wonderful anthology.
Hidden Treasures by M.A. Abraham: A hidden treasure in this anthology, I found this story to be intriguing. Female Drakaina have been shipped to a secluded island for most of their young life to be trained in how to hide among the general population. Nonie, the main teacher, is an elderly Drakaina, wise and astute. She has several centuries of wisdom to share. I found the characters to be perfect role models of strong women. The 3 leading girls, daughters of Trank and Titiana Livingston, are strong and courageous, courtesy of their grandmother, Nonnie. They, along with the other girls, spend many years training, questioning and coming up with methods to help solve their own challenges on protecting other females from Drakes and Dragon Hunters. This is a fantastic story: strength, courage, overcoming adversity.
Clara’s Story by CA King: This story is both a heartbreaking and beautiful story of survival. Clara experiences something no parent should ever experience. Her daughter is in a devastating accident and is the only survivor. The injuries will change Clara’s life and marriage forever. The story is well-written and developed because you can feel the powerful emotions in the story. Clara, her husband, and the doctor are all characters that are very relatable to. The plot line of the story goes with a glitch. The only thing I would fix is to have part 1. I did feel like I was missing the beginning of the story. However, as Part 2, this story will both rip your heart out and make you smile with happy tears. It’s beautiful and the author did a fantastic job.

I cannot say anything but amazing things about these assortment of stories! Each one had its own way of being what it was, and each was mesmerizing in its own shape or form. I enjoyed reading these, and the feeling that came with me as I read!
I especially felt triumphant with reading C.A King’s story in this assortment of stories! I loved the feelings I read as I read. It was deep and emotional, but the triumph it had, was very uplifting. It makes you feel hope, as we do in life even when life is at its darkest. This story really spoke to me for all that it possessed. A well wroth read! It was one that stuck with me!
The others were amazing as well. I read them all, each one though different, had a magical spell about them on what they possessed. Beautiful in every which way! Loved these stories! Amazing collection of stories! Very much a well worth reading! Highly recommend this must read!

Secrets never stay hidden and they have a way of revealing themselves and this so true as to the events in this book and look let’s be honest love isn’t always easy and often it’s a messy thing and it hurts but rather love and lost than not love at all ….
Mavis and Josh were high school sweethearts and when she discovers she’s pregnant she leaves town and while she thinks she’s doing the right thing she’s actually not and then she tell his twin brother well what’s that all about !? I know I sound all judgy and I hear her heart but making such big decisions on behalf of another is selfish but as I said I saw her heart , I had to stop reading for a bit as my emotions were all over the place I felt angry , sad , empathy , frustration …..
So I picked up where I left off and soon enough the past catches up to Mavis and there’s Josh who wants her back and Austin that won’t let go and things look a right mess but stick around ….
Mavis , Josh and Austin , thank for allowing me to a part of this journey to be a part of your lives and for sharing yourselves with me , love you guys ❣️📕

This is a great young adult fantasy read! I really love the plot of this story. I’ve never read a story with this character type. Its got plenty of action and really pulls you in and keeps you wanting more. As the family is trying to stay alive, secrets are revealed that put them in more danger than before. The siblings go through so many hardships and just want to find a home after so much tragedy. Will the Blood Prince be strong enough to protect them all? I cannot wait to read book 2 to see what happens!

I enjoy books that make me question the author’s intentions. I think the extended title, “A Dark Comedy Or Not,” kind of answers this. I read this book during a time that I was going through some intense personal struggle, and it definitely helped me escape my reality. There is a diverse cast of characters in The Cool Thing. Many of them have baggage, and that helps to make them relatable and highlights the humor in the story. Mr. Rife did a fantastic job in creating this comedy that included monsters and aliens. It is a good start to the series.

Or Not. by Robert Rife – Review by Barbie England
This is a book by an author that is new to me. I was pleasantly surprised by this awesome YA fantasy book. It was well written with amazing world building. The author did a great job writing the book so perspectives from different characters are shared. The characters were easy to relate to and you could feel how they were feeling. I would recommend this book to anyone that loves reading fantasy. I am looking forward to future books from this author in this series and hopefully other stand alone books.

This was my first book by this author and I really enjoyed it! I haven’t read any historical fiction books about WWII that don’t take place in Germany. It was refreshing to hear about how France was also impacted. The thing I loved about this book is how the details are so clear, but the book isn’t overwhelming traumatizing like previous WWII books I have read. This is a great read if you want another perspective of how the Nazis impacted another country outside of Germany.
