Falling Down (The Rockstar Series Book #1) by Anne Mercier – Review by Angela Hayes

Falling Down (Rockstar, #1)Falling Down by Anne Mercier
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

 

2.5 – 3 Stars

 

Falling Down is the first book in the Rockstar series by new-to-me author Anne Mercier. It is a contemporary, New Adult, rockstar romance- with chemistry, sizzle, drama, and banter.
When this popped up as a recommended book, I snapped up a copy with the hope of losing myself in a great story. But, unfortunately, I just couldn’t find my ‘groove’ with this book. I really wanted to love Jesse and Lucy and get completely wrapped up in them and their story- BUT I just couldn’t connect.
The dialogue felt forced to me, and somewhat awkward- so that put me off right away. I just felt like this story could have been so much MORE- I felt like there was something missing- and while it was quite steamy, it seemed to me to be lacking the emotion, angst, drama, and development that I was looking for.
But this is just my opinion, so if you love rockstar romance with plenty of sizzle- then maybe you should grab yourself a copy and decide for yourself- as plenty of others have absolutely loved this book.
There are 18+ books in the Rockstar series, so I am hoping that if I continue with the series that things will finally ‘click’ for me.
Happy Reading…

Thank you, Anne Mercier!

NICOLE
I’ve always been the perfect daughter, sister, and friend.
After all, my father and brother are Titans. We’re high society, so I have an image to uphold.
Costa Rica was supposed to be just a last summer hurrah before the new semester began.
It ended up being the night when the good girl did something bad.
A one-time indiscretion. Or so I thought … until I walked into class the first day of school.
My one-night stand turned out to be my professor, and it looks like he still has other lessons to teach me.
CALLUM
It was a fling with a hot girl on vacation.
Only, she is now my student and off limits to me.
But I’m a Titan—I get what I want. And I want her.
She’s unable to resist me any more than I can resist her.
Our stolen moments quickly turn into a forbidden liaison we need to hide from the world.
Yet the thing about secrets is… Nothing stays buried forever.
When someone who wants to ruin my career also develops an obsession with Nicole, I realize money and power mean nothing. Because he just might have what it takes to finally bring a Titan to his knees.

Wild King (King Brothers #2)Wild King by K.M. Scott
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The second book in the King Brothers series but this is my first read in the series. I was not at all lost as to what was going on and would totally call this a stand alone. Kellen is all business but when it comes to pleasure he is all about the fun with absolutely no strings attached. He wants nothing serious and makes it known. But will his fun come back around to bite him?
Well written and this story makes you really feel how deeply wronged Kellen was. I love Kellen and Salem as people and even more as a couple. I adore their initial meet and the end of the book.

Blood and Ravens: A dark, paranormal romance (The Casket Girls)Blood and Ravens: A dark, paranormal romance by A.D. Brazeau
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Love, love, love this series already. This was my introduction to the outstanding A.D. Brazeau’s work, and I cannot wait to read more. The dual perspectives of Greer and Theron, Blood & Ravens transports you into history with a twist.
Greer was an orphan but was told her mother was in Paris. At age twenty to finally took her fate into her own hands, leaving England for Paris to find her mother and finding her place in the world. She has “dreams” about a dark knight and the need to unravel the mystery of who he is and what he looks like. Until the night that changed everything, and she woke up on a ship in the middle of the ocean headed for another continent. Theron once was a prince in the underworld until Persephone’s flirting got him banished by Hades. While he is different from the creatures he is forced to work for and with his bosses’ big plans it’s time to leave France and go to America. Greer finds herself in the hull of a ship with at least forty girls but unlike them she and a handful of others did not volunteer they were taken. In the terrible situation she finds a group with four others, one of which is just like her, taken and forced to be in this new place, their fates taken from them. Having made land Theron must continue with the next phase of the plans and feels with his boss Rook half a world away it is his place to take the lead in the transition to New Orleans. He has moments, he’s getting too invested into his “little rabbit” until the unimaginable in his life he finds softness, warmth and love risking everything to help her and her friends. Given no choice Greer risks everything to make a deal with Hades himself to help Theron and her friends.
What will happen to Greer? Does she succeed in saving those she cares about? While the world may not be completely based in reality, the interjection of historical information mixed with the paranormal makes this book golden. Having seen the Old Ursuline Convent in person when I finally went to New Orleans this book captured it perfectly. The twists of not only Theron’s being and origin but that of vampyrs in general in this world were a refreshing twist. I truly cannot wait to jump into book two, Blood & Vengeance to see Desiree’s story and see what happens next with Greer and Theron.

Wow, what a good romantic suspense read. Tessa, who started a bakery that has done so much better than she originally thought, until she starts being stalked of course, and James, a private investigator that she is hoping will be able to put an end to it. What they didn’t foresee coming, and are not particularly thrilled about, was their attraction to each other. This is book two of the London Detective Agency Series, I haven’t read book one, but I was still able to enjoy this book. Be My Little Baby had great flow, and I loved the twists, turns, and suspense throughout the novel, and I really liked the well developed, lifelike characters.

Her Sapphire Blade (Guardians of Camelot)Her Sapphire Blade by Sarah Biglow
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the first delightful book in the Guardians of Camelot series by Sarah Biglow. It is a well-developed and imaginative paranormal romance tale with witches, warriors, fae, dragons, royalty, portals, and more.
“Her Sapphire Blade” is the story of Morgan, an urban fantasy mixed with Arthurian myth—a legendary figure Arthur and Camelot to be exact. Morgan is anything but a typical woman. Amongst all the madness, Morgan has strength, smarts, and hope but little magic. Anything and everything she does can and will go wrong. She must learn who she is and how to wield her magic. She is a very entertaining character, and I enjoyed seeing her come into her own.

An exciting and intriguing journey is what you will find between these pages as Morgan returns to a place that she has known as only legend, to a realm she once belonged. There are many perils along the way in this action-packed adventure—betrayal, deception, threats, danger, secrets, lies, drama, but there is also love, mischief, and a little mayhem.
Sarah has done a fantastic job weaving this wonderful tale and drawing readers into this magical world.
This was a great start to the series. I look forward to seeing what this talented author does next. Beware: there is a cliffhanger.

Offsides: Game Time SeriesOffsides: Game Time Series by Tam DeRudder Jackson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

4.5 stars
This is another exciting contemporary romance book in the contemporary romance book in the NA Game Time college sports series, featuring the Wildcats college football team. Having read many of Tam’s books, I have thoroughly enjoyed each and every one. Tam excels in the sports romance genre, particularly in providing multiple points of view, which offers insight into characters not often explored in other books.
“Offsides” encompasses the usual mix of emotions – angst, drama, and humour, while also exuding sensuality, passion, and heat. The electric chemistry between the characters is palpable, infusing the romance with wit and intensity, mirroring the dynamics of new relationships and high-pressure games. This delightful story of Finn and Chessly is a must-read and my favourite in the series thus far. Everyone wants to win at something.
I’m eagerly anticipating the next book in the series, as always.
As always, I look forward to what comes next.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

4.5 stars
Soul Sacrifice is a fantastic dystopian romance tale that is packed full of goodies for the most discerning connoisseurs of this genre. The story is another well-woven tale from the very talented Courtney Davis. I have read a few of Courtney’s books, and she soon became one of my go-to authors. I am drawn to her writing skills and the fact that she comes up with new and entertaining ideas and new and exciting worlds.
Ebony wants what anyone else in her world wants – her soulmate. But to get there, she must do the one thing she doesn’t want to do. Things take a turn when she hires Lark to find her half-soul, but maybe she is not the one that she must seek out. Maybe all she needs is standing right in front of her.
I enjoyed getting an in-depth look at these complex and compelling characters. This book kept me engrossed until the end with the webs of deception, soul battles, and curses.
Be prepared for an intriguing adventure – you won’t be disappointed!

Malice (Demented Souls #10)Malice by Melissa Stevens
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

4.5 stars
I haven’t read any books by this author, but because I love MC stories, I decided to give it a try. It was only halfway through that I realized there were many more books before in the series. This is Malice’s story in the Demented Souls MC series, where alpha males are tough and take no-nonsense, but underneath it all, they are like brothers and big teddy bears. I love their bonds and banter with each other.
Bonnie was in an abusive relationship but try telling that to her aggressive ex who won’t leave her alone. Fortunately, when he attempts to kidnap her, it is thwarted by one scary-looking man. Unfortunately, his attempts at getting to her escalate, and she now needs the help of the man who came to her rescue.
Malice is newly patched in and still finding his place, but he likes his space to keep himself in check. Luckily, he was in the right place at the right time to stop a woman from being kidnapped, and their chemistry is amazing. Unfortunately, they both soon find themselves in a fight for their lives.
I am definitely going back to read them all. I think I have fallen in love. Melissa is a girl after my own heart with this series.

Wrecked (The Merciless Few MC)Wrecked by S. Courtney
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

3.5 – 4 stars
I recently came across this book about a motorcycle club (MC) and was intrigued by the story. The book delves into the lives of a brotherhood of alpha males who always support each other, even though they are not related by blood. The Merciless Few MC is a tight-knit family.
The main character, Reaper, has been through a lot, hence the fitting title “Wrecked”. He has faced betrayal, been in a devastating accident, and lost his beloved bike. Now, he needs all the help he can get to get his life back on track.
Avi, another important character, was promised something that never materialized. Desperate for freedom, she runs away in search of a better life. However, the person she once knew is not the same anymore. She finds herself in need of safety from someone else. Their first encounter doesn’t go well, but as they say, there’s a fine line between love and hate.
The book, “Wrecked”, is full of suspense with plenty of unexpected twists and turns. The complex characters, and the sweet Tater Tot and the unpleasant Frankie, are well-written, showcasing the author’s talent. I found myself feeling uneasy after reading about Frankie, but it goes to show how skillfully S. Courtney crafts her characters.
Has Avi escaped one terrifying situation only to find herself in another? The only way to find out is to read the book.

Alchemy of Glass Barbara Barnett
4 – 4.5 stars
I recently finished reading The Apothecary’s Curse and thoroughly enjoyed it, so I decided to read Alchemy of Glass. Barbara weaves a narrative that spans multiple periods, including the 1800s, the present, and the future. The book combines romance, historical fiction, fantasy, mythology, and sci-fi, all driven by well-developed and intriguing characters into one exciting tale.
The story follows Gaelen’s journey as he discovers a piece of glass that leads him on a quest across different time periods to save humanity. This intricate tale skilfully balances light and darkness. Despite all he has done to her, can Gaelen get Dr. Anne Shaw to help him on his quest? If you enjoy mystery, history, sci-fi, and the supernatural, Alchemy of Glass is a perfect fit.
In summary, Alchemy of Glass intertwines cutting-edge science and ancient Celtic mythology, merging fairy lore with the challenging choices faced by Gaelen as he strives to prevent a catastrophic future.

Falling Down is a captivating young adult/new adult contemporary rockstar romance, filled with lively language, humour, wit, and banter among the characters, especially the band members.

She has been infatuated with him ever since, and six years later, they cross paths once again, rekindling the chemistry they shared years ago. Jesse vividly remembers the girl he met at the airport years earlier and often thought of her. Now, she is set to appear in his video, but he desires her for more than just that. He wants her in his life, and now he must convince her that she wants the same. The story is entertaining, but I craved more – more angst, more emotions, just something a bit more.

This book is all about chemistry! There is the chemistry of baking and then there is the chemistry between Tessa and James!

Tessa is hoping that her little bakery will bring about a lot of business, as she’s new to the area and wanting to do well. She never expected for things to progress as quickly as they have, and on top of that, there are some very threatening photographs and letters that could damage her business and reputation. That’s where James steps in. He’s a private investigator that is easy on the eyes. He won’t date a client though but could Tessa find a way to his heart through her baking?

This is the second book in a series. This can be read as a standalone but why not go back and pick up the first one?! You’ll see some characters from the previous book make an appearance in this one.

This was a fun book with romance, famous people, and a lot of music. I liked the playlist at the end! Lucy runs into her school girl crush at the airport when she is 17. She is moving to LA from Chicago to become an actress. Her cousin Sera has been like a sister since her parents were killed when she was young. I thought the book would go into some of the mafia backstory but it only focused on the present. Sera talks for Lucy as she is stunned at meeting the lead man for the band Falling Down, Jesse Kingston. He is on the same flight so he walks them to the gate. He has a moment with Lucy who finally is able to talk a little. Fast forward six years, Lucy is an Academy Award winning actress and Sera is a well known model. They are working on a set for a music video but they don’t know which band. Lucy and Sera were in a band in high school so they decided to jam to pass time, when suddenly a guitar and singer joined them. Low and behold, it is Falling Down and Jesse Kingston, and he remembers her! The sparks fly and he invites her to stay the weekend, but she is not sure if she can handle saying goodbye. The story was great, the characters were fun, there was a ton of banter with all the band mates, and I laughed a lot. This was a fun read and it looks like there are 20 more books in this series that I now need to look into adding to my Kindle.

They have great chemistry and their attraction is steamy. I enjoyed watching their growth throughout which just adds to their story.

Their family squabbles always keep my turning pages as I never know what will truly happen, especially in the Game Room. In here we meet Salem who is a fixer and Boy does Kellen need to get fixed! I love how the author brings out his deep resentment of a few other characters which help cause him to need Salem. He is argumentative, smart and suave but he has met his match in her. These two together are hot and yet sweet. They have undeniable chemistry and she will not put up with any of his shenanigans! So sparks fly!

I am enjoying this series so far as this is the second. The story moves along at a nice pace and has a good flow. We get a sneak peek of the next and now I can not wait!

This is the Part One of the Planet Amazon series. This was an enjoyable sci-fi adventure with danger, action, secrets, mysteries and romance. The romance element feels a little like fated mates which made it unique in this type of story. The authors world building was great and I really felt I was seeing the actual places that were being described to me.
I will admit that I did find it a little hard to get into the story at first however I’m glad I didn’t give up.
This is a story about a researcher from Earth called Andrea. When she finds a door that takes her to another plant she realises that she may never been able to return to Earth. As she learns the ways of her new live she finds her mates and finally feels she belongs.
This is a story that was interesting and with the war between the planets there was always danger. Andrea trains to become a great warrior like the Amazon’s in the myths which makes it feel even more like fate that she arrives there.
This is a interesting start to the series and I look forward to reading more.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Barbara Barnett’s Alchemy of Glass is an enchanting blend of fantasy, science, and myth, intricately crafted to captivate readers who revel in imaginative storytelling. Set against the backdrop of the mystical Eildon Hills, Barnett draws readers into a world where the boundaries between reality and fantasy are intriguingly blurred.

Barnett’s narrative seamlessly weaves Celtic mythology with elements of modern science, creating a tapestry of intrigue and wonder. The notion of glass as both a physical and metaphorical conduit between worlds adds a unique and compelling dimension to the story. Gaelan’s quest to navigate this surreal journey while confronting his own past and future is both poignant and thrilling.

The pacing of the novel keeps readers engaged, with its richly detailed world-building and well-developed characters. Gaelan’s internal struggles and the external challenges he faces are portrayed with depth, making his journey both a personal and universal exploration of destiny and choice.
