Mr. Nice Guy (Pierce Brothers Book 1) by Belinda Williams – Review by Bobbi Wagner

Mr. Nice Guy (Pierce Brothers, #1)Mr. Nice Guy by Belinda Williams
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I enjoyed this romance story. This is an author I have enjoyed from the first book I picked up of hers. I was pulled into the story by the characters with ease. They made the story engaging and fast paced. They made the story pop off the pages and gave the story a realistic feel. This is a well written story about Tom and Chelsea. They are housemates and Tom has just offered to show her that nice guys really do exist. He is not necessarily a nice guy but he is about to prove otherwise to Chelsea. What happens next with these two I highly recommend reading to find out. I enjoyed their chemistry and watching them grow throughout the story. A great romance story that you don’t want to miss.

I never hesitate to pick up this author’s books. They are exciting, fun and entertaining to read. They are well written and have a realistic feel. This book is no different. This is a romance story where the characters pop off the pages. I enjoyed watching their growth and seeing their chemistry throughout the story. This is Setter and Casey’s story.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is an author I have enjoyed from the first book I picked up from her and I never hesitate to pick up her books. They are well written, fun, entertaining stories that pull me in from the first page. This book is no different. This is a paranormal story that I couldn’t put down until the end. This is a story about Makayla and her last chance to go to an academy. The first couple turned her down but the one that gives her the opportunity she doesn’t want to go to. The curriculum at this place is as it says, gravediggers are just that they dig graves. The problem is that the dead don’t stay buried and they refuse to cooperate. This is an action filled story that I just loved reading. The characters are entertaining and made the story fun and thrilling to read. I highly recommend this book and this author.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I enjoyed this suspenseful thriller. This is a new author for me and I look forward to seeing more from them in the future. This is a well written story about a murderer and having her story being told. Allison has been picked to write this murderers story but she doesn’t realize that the details are closer to her than what she ever thought. This was such a great story that I had a hard time putting it down. The characters brought the story to life on each page and just made the story entertaining to read. The twists and turns had me sitting on the edge of my seat. Great growth and I highly recommend reading this book.

Deliciously Sinful Liaisons AUDIO BOOK by L.M. Mountford – Review by Bobbi Wagner

 This is my first audio by this author which I loved from the beginning to end.  The narrator made it fun and entertaining to listen too.  Using different tones of voice I was pulled into the story from the beginning.  . This is a collection of seven stories that are full of steam, hot men and women.  The characters make the stories feel real, as if you are right there with them.   I also loved how the narrator brought the story to life with each character.  This is a really great audio to listen to and I highly recommend it.

Set In Stone (The Stone Series Volume 3) AUDIO BOOK by Dakota Willink – Review by Bobbi Wagner

This is the third book and my third audio by this author.  I couldn’t wait to listen to it.  I loved the previous two audiobooks which I would highly suggest before this one to help enhance your enjoyment of this series.  I loved being pulled into the story of Alexander and Krystina by the narrator’s voice from the beginning.  This is their conclusion to their story which I will miss but I can’t wait to see what this author has for us next.  Their story is one of heart, secrets and an attraction like no other.  Krystina is faced with a decision that will either make Alexander’s life come tumbling down or save his life.  What will she do?  I highly recommend this audio and this series.  You don’t want to miss Alexander and Krystina’s story.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I enjoyed this paranormal fantasy story. This is the first book in this series and what a great start it is. This is a well written story that has characters that bring the story to life on each page. They are relatable and made the story engaging. This is a faster paced story about Cassie and a spell she casted forty-five years ago which by the way is the last thing she remembers. Nick is the only other witch in this small town Cassie finds herself in. The problem comes in that when they are together passion flares and it could be their undoing. Will they find the coven? What will fate have in store for them? There is alot going on in this shorter story but it keeps you turning pages and it certainly is entertaining. They have great chemistry and just made great characters. I highly recommend this book.

Beneath the Surface (A Gray Ghost Novel, book 3) AUDIO BOOK by Amy McKinley – Review by Bobbi Wagner

This is the third audiobook in this series that I have listened to and enjoyed.  I highly suggest listening to the entire series to help you get the feeling of this series but it is not necessary.   I enjoyed how the narrator brought the story to life with their tone of voice.  It kept me listening because I wanted to know what was going to happen next.   In this audio we get to listen to Hannah and Jack’s story. Their story is one of learning to trust and second chances. What will happen when Hannah is accused of being a traitor and will Jack be willing to risk it all to save her?  This was a great story to listen to on my way to work.  It was entertaining and the characters just popped.  I highly recommend this audiobook.

Now she finds herself in a duty to save the said child and humanity. This is a faster paced story that really has a lot going on but the author does a great job of writing where it is easily read. This is a great story that I would highly recommend. It is worth the pick and the journey Leslie takes you on.

This is the second part to the book Blue Summer which is just as great as the first book. I highly suggest reading the first book before this one to help your enjoyment of this series. This is a well written story that is a continuation of the first book. The characters are even better in this book and made the story pop. This is a shorter story that really packs the action. With Lillie being kidnapped a second time the sorcerer is out for more power than ever. Thinking that she knows more than what she is saying, will this put her in more danger and will she be able to save herself this time? This was a fun and entertaining book to read.

This is a great adventure story that takes on a thriller aspect as well as just a great story. I highly recommend this book.
