Thief (Popov Bratva #4)Thief by Leslie Georgeson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

What is better than a bad boy romance? Nothing but adding in the mafia, makes it even more better. The main characters in this book are amazing. The lead female is a sassy, bright, intelligent, and beautiful. The lead male in this book is your classic tall, dark and handsome with an edge. He gives bad boy vibes and she is there for it. The way the meet is actual funny and involves pepper spray….Yep, that good. However, that fluke of a meeting is the best thing that could have happened to either one of them. They both have secrets and need each other to overcome them. What looks like two people from two different worlds might just not be the case. This book had me on the edge of my seat the whole time. It was either from wanting to know what would happen next, to laughing, to just being that darn good. I’ve read a lot of mafia books before and I have to say that this one is right up there with my favorites. I will certainly be going back and reading the rest of the series. Between, the page turning suspense, the drama between the characters, the steam, and the final outcome, this book has it all. I highly recommend reading it if you have an afternoon free.

Rivals (Mafia Elite, #7)Rivals by Amy McKinley
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is an amazing book that has the steam, action, and suspense. What happens to the characters will take you on twists and turns that you didn’t see coming. The secrets and lies that are revealed in this book will have you thinking about what happens next. The immense need to know more will have you constantly turning the pages and not putting the book down. I finished this book in a day because I had to know what happens next. If you have read the previous books in the series, you won’t be disappointed with this one. I feel like each book gets better and better. If this is the first one that you have read. You must go back and read the rest of the series. The growth with the characters is amazing and I love how the author gives us glimpses of the previous characters. It makes me feel like I have become their friends and I am living in their world. One of the best books of the summer that I have read.

Fairly Royal (Fair, #4)Fairly Royal by Grace Grahme
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book was a complete slow burn with a few twists that I didn’t see coming. It was wonderfully written and the characters all had growth throughout the book. Anna has set terms to this “fake” relationship that leave Phillip unsure of how to act or behave. Everything is going swimmingly with these two and their relationship until something happens and Phillip seems to think he knows what is best for all parties involved. These characters are relatable and the dialect that is used throughout the book really makes you feel as if you are in Scotland. I highly enjoyed this book and would recommend it to anyone who loves a sassy female lead. This book is a quick read because it is a constant page turner. You will find yourself wanting to know what feisty Anna is going to do or say next, or you’re waiting to see if the shell that Phillip surrounds himself by will come crashing down. By far one of my favorite reads of the month.

Saved by Love (Bellevue Bullies #7)Saved by Love by Toni Aleo
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book had a bit of everything and didn’t disappoint. I haven’t read the rest of the series before jumping into this book but I will be reading every book in it now. The book tackles serious issues but with a sense of dignity and class that is not always given in your typical sport romance books. It is based around hockey and the leading male character shows huge growth throughout the story. The leading female character seems to be the perfect match for the main man. She has a job that requires her to pay attention to non-verbal ques from others. This sets the tone for some serious topics which are eye opening and allows you to fully connect to the characters in the book. This was a good quick read but not one that you read and completely forget within a few days. It makes you become fully immersed into the book and the details allow you to feel like you’ve been reading it forever when you haven’t. I don’t mean that in a bad way but when you don’t want a book to end because it is so good, you get that feeing with this one but don’t feel like the books ends out of no where. I can’t wait to go back read the rest of this series. I highly recommend if y’all have a day to devote to reading, this should be the book y’all pick up.

Insatiable Darkness (Vigilant, #0.5)Insatiable Darkness by L.M. Preston
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book is in the YA genre and I feel that anyone would appreciate this book if they like supernatural stories. This book is a very quick read and can be finished in a day. The characters in this story have great depth and feel real emotions that any teen would feel in this type of situation. Moving to a new town can cause anyone some anxiety but throw in missing kids and it just hits different emotions. This is also a prequel to the series and I am hoping it will give some more background into the characters as the series continues. I felt a little disconnect with them during this story but not enough to make a huge difference. The mysteries in the book keep you hooked throughout and turning the pages to see what happens. I am looking forward to reading the rest of the series to continue to build on these characters and to continue the mysteries. I highly recommend this series to anyone who likes a quick read with lots of mystery.

To be honest I didn’t know what to expect when I began reading this. This book has a target demographic of young teen but let me tell you it is such a cute quick read that I, a grown woman, loved. It has the typical teen drama like gossip, not liking the younger students, and the normal growing pains. This book has an amazing storyline and great characters that everyone can relate to, whether that is a teen or an adult reliving their childhood. The whitty ghost really makes this a page turner. I wanted to know what would happen next. There are great life lessons in this book that I wasn’t expecting. I would highly recommend this book to any one. I would especially recommend it to any teen that is starting to have a love for reading. They will relate to it and feel accomplished since it is an easy read. If they pick up on the life lessons in the book that is just an added benefit.

Victoriously Yours (Titans Of Manhattan #4)Victoriously Yours by Anise Storm
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The Titans of Manhattan series does not disappoint with this 4th installment. This book is an easy read and a page turner. It takes you on a roller coaster of emotions. The main characters met in high school and a bet led to a series of events that unfolded both good and bad. 10 years later, they see each other again with a job on the line. Can they overcome what happened in high school that changed the trajectory of events for them? Can the hurt ever go away? When the female lead thought she had overcome everything that had transpired just to see the male lead and realize she wasn’t as over things as she thought. This book is really well written and the angst, family issues, torture, secrets and love will have you reading all the way through the night. You want to see what will happen and you become physically and emotionally involved in the progress of the characters. Don’t get me wrong there will be times that you are mad like spitting nails mad but it doesn’t last that long.

This is the third book in this series and I feel like each one gets better and better. This book takes you on an adventure. What happens when you have a ballerina take to pole dancing? You get one of the biggest guys in New York to take notice. What happens from there……a bunch of things. There is steam in this book!! What happens when that beautiful dancing girl is the girl you happen to have a one night stand with? Guys, this book is amazing!! It is a very easy read. You will find that you are constantly turning pages just to see what happens next. I got embarrassed when the characters did. I got angry, sad, flustered. It was awesome. It also has some triggering sequences in it but I feel the author has been respectful of the situations and did their best to portray a difficult situation for anyone to go through. I highly recommend reading this book and the whole series.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

First thing first, I did not read the previous books in this series. That being said, this book can be read as a stand alone. You do not need to read the previous books in order to understand what is going on in this book. However, after reading this book you will want to go back and read the other two in the series. That is what I am currently doing. Now, let’s get into the meat and potatoes of this book. It is a really fast read!!! You will fall in love with the characters because of how the author us able to put feelings and actions to words written. I am a strong believer that, “If a book can make you feel what the characters are, it was written amazingly.” This book did not disappoint on that level. This book not only has all the steam you could ever possibly want but it also has mystery. You not only get to experience the quick whit of the female lead but you also get to see the strength of the male lead. Together they are an unstoppable team. You will keep turning the pages to see what is going to happen next or to even just feel the chemistry the two main characters have. It is definitely a book that will make you not quit reading until it is done. So, if you have a day where you can sit on the beach or next to the pool or even just on the couch and read, I highly recommend this book.

This is the second book in the series but can be read as a stand alone. That is what I did. This book has tons of steam and is a very quick easy read. I got sucked into story right away with how the female lead (Kendall) behaves. She is upfront with all the feelings. The book gives a back story so you can see the growth. I love that Kendall isn’t a push over or a needy female that can tend to happen in some sport romance books. The leading male (Pete) is a perfect example of your typical boy next door. He is kind and follows the bro code of not dating your best friends sister. This book was fast paced and I wish there was a little bit more to the romance of them falling together. I loved that the characters were able to grow throughout the story. The journey that they take feels genuine just a little lacking in verbiage. It really is an amazing book and a very simple read. I feel like I am just being picky with wanting more romance between the two of them. The steam is there and it is a “fan yourself kind of heat.” I do recommend this book for a quick little beach read, I mean if you’re already red from the sun – no one is gonna notice the lush you get while reading some of the scenes in this book.

This is the 6th book in the series and it did not disappoint. There wasn’t as much action as in pervious books in the series but don’t let that sway you from reading it because the twists and turns are there. This book is like walking through a haunted maze in the middle of the night with only the light on your phone. I was constantly sitting in the edge of my seat. I couldn’t get to the end of each page fast enough or turn to the next page even faster. The push and pull between the two characters in the book is a vibe in itself. I don’t normally go for the back and forth with characters. However, with this book I couldn’t get enough of it. I needed more banter and more jabs. It is so, so good. The friendship that builds between them makes it even better when they fall. This book is an easy to read, page turning, won’t want to put down, can’t sleep till it’s finished, and will leave you wanting more. Do yourself a favor and get a great escape into the world of mafia love in its finest.

This book is not in my normal wheel house, so I was a little apprehensive to start it. I was completely blown away with this book. The way it is written gives you all the feelings that you could ever dream of. It shows a very strong determined female lead. She goes through many trials and tribulations throughout this book trying to make sure that she actually does something with her life. This is completely unheard of during the WWII time frame and gives my inner feminist a pep rally so to speak. Knowing that this story is inspired by true events makes it even better. It is like a birds eye view as to how women were treated during the 1920’s. It will make you realized how far women’s rights have come and yet how far they need to go. The constant ups and downs that the main character goes through is gut wrenching and inspiring. I felt raw and vulnerable while reading this and I didn’t want it to end. It was an amazing escape from my normal genre and I am so glad that I took the adventure. I highly recommend this book to anyone who just wants to see a woman thrive through what most would consider huge life decisions and tragedies.

This book is really good. I was not able to put this book down. It is a quick read but it packs a punch. There is steam, the connections that the characters have is off the charts and almost instantly. This book is very fast paced. There is never a dull moment. It really speaks volumes as to what the next books in the series will be like. I highly suggest reading this. The location the book takes pace is almost magical for the characters. It makes me want to take a vacation. The characters in this are both powerful and successful in their own ways. They have their own drama and issues that they need to work through to make it work between them. I love how the lead female character is strong. She doesn’t make me mad. Sometimes a female lead has me yelling at my book for her to do something different. This author, was literally reading my mind throughout this whole book. It was amazing. This has been one of the best sizzling romance, fast paced, though provoking, and well-rounded books I have read in a while.

First thing first, this is the 5th book in the series and if you haven’t read the others in the series; you will be a little lost. I am not saying that you can’t read this one and figure things out but it would be easier to understand if you read the whole series. This book reads beautifully. The words that are written seem to jump off the pages. This book has a little something for everyone. It has action, vampires, humans, danger, adventure, a huge political tone, tension, romance, and dystopia. You will be hooked after the first chapter. This book will take you on so many twists and turns that you won’t want to stop reading. This book is not your typical vampire book either, which was a huge surprise to me. I felt while reading this that I haven’t read anything quite like it before. It was a rush to be able to not know what was going to happen. After having read certain genres of books, I almost feel like at times I can somewhat predict what is going to happen or I have a few ideas as to what might happen. Well, whatever I thought was going to happen didn’t. It was amazing and such a fresh look into a concept that I hadn’t even dreamed of with paranormal writing. The growth of the characters throughout the book is sensational. Rowena one of the main characters goes through some difficult revelations but comes out better on the other side. I highly recommend this book to anyone. Especially, if you are looking for a different perspective in paranormal stories.

These are the characters that will have you feel every emotion the author is trying to portray. I’ve always said that an amazing writer is one that will convey everything they are feeling while writing their books to you through their words. I was not disappointed at all. This book reads very easily and the character growth and development is amazing. You will be trying to figure out what will happen next but at the same time you will be caught up in the sizzling steamy scenes that happen between the characters. This book is what I consider an easy read because I was constantly turning the pages to see what was going to happen next. Sit back, relax, and enjoy the ride this book takes you on.

This book was hands down one of the steamiest, hottest, most melting books I have read so far this year. If you don’t have any triggers and don’t mind a little MM and MMF, you are in for a real treat. This books has scenes that burn the pages up and the of course will make you read it faster and not be able to put it down. There is character development throughout the story but I felt it needed just a little more than what I was given. Complete personal choice, it is there just didn’t hit the sweet spot for me. You will definitely fall for the characters and by the end of the book, you won’t be able to choose your favorite. The darkness that they all experienced in their lives is what brings them all together. If you have a few hours to tuck yourself away to read, this must be the book. When I say tuck yourself away, I mean it. You will be blushing from the things that you will be reading. Enter at your own risk but you won’t be disappointed.

What could go wrong with a one night stand? I am sure Summer was thinking nothing would happen if she allowed herself to just break free and have a moment for herself. She wasn’t expecting Luc. Luc was bound and determined to make Summer his. This book has the twists and turns that you got in the previous books. It has all the steam that you could possibly want and the amazing love that these characters all share. I found this book to be an easy read and I love everything mafia, so that makes it even easier to read. Just when I think I know what is going to happen there is a turn that I didn’t see coming. That kept me more engaged and even gave me a bit of a withdrawal after finishing it. If mafia, action, love, steam, bad a$$ females, alpha males, and HEA’s are your thing you will love this book. Just be prepared to have your heart ripped out and shoved back together by the end. So so so good.

This book has everything I could ever hope for. It is a really quick read and transports your away from your own reality. This book is about a Prince and a human-turned werewolf servant. There are some triggers that need to be addressed before reading this book. The first trigger is rape, the book doesn’t go into detail about it but it is heavily discussed and the trauma is there for the character. The other trigger is abuse, again this isn’t highly described but it is present and there is a heavy undertone to some of the characters. I fell in love with the main characters right away. I love a sassy female that learns to stand up for herself. The Prince is whole heartily what any true book boyfriend should be: caring, loving, devoted, and protective. This book does leave you on a cliff-hanger so be aware. However, it is so good that it won’t really bother you because you just get a feeling that whatever is coming is so gonna be worth it.

The crazy dynamic between the two main characters and their shenanigans to keep their inappropriate relationship a secret is highly entertaining. It is a very fast paced book that I couldn’t put down. The growth of the characters is appropriate for the pace of the book. I just wish there was more.

What happens when you meet the love of your life but your life isn’t where it needs to be? That is what happens with the main characters of this book. They are amazing and their lives are going where they want them to but is that enough? Does what they’re doing now affect what they want in the future? Can they work things out to get what they are wanting? These are the questions that I was constantly asking myself during this book. The characters have growth that you won’t see coming. There are is many bumps and bruises that they get along the way. This book had me crying, cursing, ranting, and swooning. I feel like I went on an emotional roller coaster. I wanted it to end then didn’t want it to end. I feel like I got whiplash with how things were constantly changing in this story. It almost gave me a book hangover. Not a lot of books can do that but this one did and the makes it a 5 star read. It is a witty, fun, romantic, steamy, soul crushing adventurous book. It constantly makes you wonder, is love enough. I highly recommend this book to anyone who is looking to be emotionally abused. Just kidding, kind of. It is a great read and you want be disappointed while reading it.

This book is not in my normal go to wheel house. I have read horror before and enjoy a good mystery, so I thought, why not give this book a try. I was not disappointed. This book flows from the first page to the last page. It is incredibly well written and the characters have growth. The thing that gets me though is that the main character is having to deal with seeing dead people and crazy clowns all while attending high school and trying to have a normal life. She sets out to save those she cares about from the crazy clowns, which I pictured in my head to look a little like Killer Clowns From Outer Space but darker. The action sequence in this book is a huge page turner. The ending I feel could have lasted a little longer. Maybe had more of an epic engine scene but it was still really good the way it is. I guess I just didn’t want the book to end. If you are looking for a book that will completely transport you into the story, this is that book.

They are finding their place together when someone from one of their pasts shows up. This pushes them to decide where they are going and what they are doing together. This book has a HEA and is a quick read. I highly recommend getting lost in the Outback of Australia where all the doctors seem to be hot and there is no lack of steam.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This book is an amazing quick, witty, and steamy read. I gave this book 4 stars because I felt like the ending was rushed. The book has amazing flow throughout but the last two chapters seemed rushed. The story line is amazing. I felt like there could have been a little more elaboration as to where, why, and how in the last couple chapters. I am not giving away any spoilers and I do recommend this book to anyone needing a quick escape. The characters are amazing and funny. They have certain hang ups that they have to overcome by the end of the book, which does happen. This book did give me all the feels with Dr. D’s whole persona. He learned from the past and moved forward but it also gave a look as to what it means and how it feels when you let the people you love down. Emily is a fun loving and good hearted girl. She is very cautious and tends to hover in the realm of being safe. She does learn to let go a little and live. This is a humorous and quick read. I highly recommend it to anyone who has a couple hours of free time.

Savage Secrets (Mafia Elite, book 4) by Amy McKinley – Review by Barbara Bohls

Savage Secrets (Mafia Elite, #4)Savage Secrets by Amy McKinley
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Starting at the beginning, the love/hate relationship that Elena and Marco have is amazing!!!!! It is one that will make your blood boil for so many reason. One of those reasons is the steam between the two. It is so steamy I felt like I lost some weight reading this book by sweating it out. The tension that surrounds them in everything they do has them constantly feelings things they think they shouldn’t be. Can Elena survive the changes that have happened in The Family since she has been gone? Will the constant barbs taken at each other come to an end if they can just admit their feelings. These are the questions that I asked myself during this book. It was so well written and I am a sucker for character development during a book and this one did not let me down. This book has everything that I have come to love in this authors books. The steam, the action, the suspense, the steam, the love, the romance, the steam, and did I mention the steam. This books makes me wish I was in the mafia. The twists and turns this series has taken so far some are answered in this book and it will make you so happy to find things out. However, you will constantly be asking yourself if these characters did in fact do what you just read. It is just that good.

This book has so much steam from the very beginning, that you can’t help but blush while reading it. The story itself is a little all over the place. I’m not meaning poorly written, it has a great story line to it and amazing characters. What made it all over the place for me was the added point of view. It isn’t horrible, I just didn’t care to have a third persons point of view as to what was going on. Purely my own opinion. I love the two main characters giving their view of what is going on. Adding the third person to it just kinda lost the feel of the story for me. I love a strong female character but don’t necessarily care for a female character that is so set in her ways that it is a liability to herself. Most people don’t do what the main female in the story did. I love that she has a passion for what she does. I love that the main man is supportive of her dreams and is willing to make sure that she can accomplish everything safely. It is a swoony romance and you are captivated by not only all the steamy scenes but also the reactions of the characters when things happen. It is not your typical firefighter romance book. If you go in with an open mind and about 2 hours of time you can finish this book with a slight coloring of your cheeks and a new appreciation for female firefighters.
