The Touch of Snow (Glacial Blood #1)The Touch of Snow by Anna Edwards
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The Touch of Snow (The Glacial Blood Book 1) by Anna Edwards is a paranormal romance that will leave you wanting more. This book has a little bit of everything in it, anything from laughter, to compassion to of course hot steamy romance. This is the second book I have read by this author and I can’t wait to get my hands on more, she just blows my imagination away. One of the things that I love most about this author is her creativity with her characters. They just find a way to pull you into their world and make you feel like you are right there with them. Another thing that I love about this author is her ability to keep me engaged and the way she pulls me into her stories from the first word. This story has a few twists and turns that you won’t want to miss but will keep you on the edge of your seat and the hot steamy romance will leave you wanting a cold bath. Find out what happens to these characters as they start a journey that will change their lives forever.

Selene Harper is a woman who doesn’t know really a lot about herself, honestly you could say nothing. She is not sure who or what she is. When she touches you, she can her your thoughts. This is not a good thing when you are new to town and looking to make new friends and go on dates. What will happen when she is thrown into a world of shape shifting bear, wolves and wild cats?

Brayden Dillion is a shape shifting snow leopard. His role is the lead assassin for the Glacial Blood Pack but he has already been told when he will mate and when he will be made a sentinel. His problem has been that he can’t find his life mate. What he doesn’t realize is that when he goes to visit is his mother, how his life will change.

Selene and Brayden’s relationship has been one where they seem to have a connection from the first time they meet. He is this alpha male and she is confused about what she is. She is afraid of everything because of her gift that she doesn’t understand. She just want to be like everyone else and most of all not hear everyone’s thoughts that she touches. Their story is really a discovery of finding out why they are what they are. Will she learn what family really means? In my opinion they are both really strong characters. Once Selene comes into her own, watch out. She appears to be this quiet little female but is she really? Brayden is strong, gorgeous, tall and just wants to make her his. Keeping her safe is his priority. The secondary characters in this book will make you laugh and also at times make you angry. You will love some and hate some all at the same time. I can’t wait to see what book 2 will bring with the next two characters. You will just fall in love with all these characters. Find out what happens with Selene and Brayden as they face struggles together. Will they find out why they are the way they are? Will they find a way to be together and have their HEA? You will have to read to find out!

This is my second book by Anna Edwards and there is no doubt I will be going back for more. Anna lives with her husband, two children and two cats. She spends most of her time writing although she still does some accounting which she has done in the past. She enjoys making and eat cake and taking photographs. This is a fast paced story that you will not be able to put down. I couldn’t put it down, I needed to see what was going to happen with these two characters. I highly suggest this book as I know you will want to see what happens on Selene and Brayden’s journey to discovering what and why they are.

Terrence: A Short Story (UNDER GROUND #0.9)Terrence: A Short Story by Alice Rachel
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Terrance: A Short Story (Under Ground #.8) by Alice Rachel is part of the the Under Ground series. I would recommend reading the previous books in this series so that you have some background knowledge of some of the characters. This story is about Terrance which we seen a little bit of in Aiko story. One thing that I enjoy about this author is that we get to see some of the characters from the other books in this series. She also have great character development and her attention to details makes you feel like you are right there. The other thing that I enjoy the most with this authors book is her ability to pull me into the story from the first word. You will enjoy the connect these characters have and they are true to life. Find out what Terrance’s story is.

Terrance Young is no stranger to being bullied, the teasing and harassment is a constant in his life. His family is less understanding of him. They think he choose to become gay just to complicate their lives. The sting is deep from the little rejections that they show him. Just when he thought things couldn’t get worse for him, they passed the Deviance Law. He could be put to death with just one little touch, kiss, or a mere look. He tries to hide his orientation until one night when things seemed to change everything for him. This is when he meets him. He is strong, gorgeous, kind hearted and Terrance feels and instant attraction to him.

Chase Martinez is a rebel from the Under Ground. He is kind hearted and gorgeous. Terrance knows that loving Chase is dangerous but is he worth the chance? He is done hiding and letting people tell him what to do. He wants to be the one to dictate his own life not someone else. He is tired of living in fear. Will he be able to stop himself from falling for Chase?

Terrance is a strong character that has been through so much. The loss of a mother he never knew, having to hide who he really is as a person. I give him a lot of credit for just deciding that he has had enough and starts to fight back. Chase is just as strong but honestly, he just wants to protect what is his even though he won’t acknowledge Terrance as anything. He has his own demons that he is hiding and trying to control. Together these two really make the story flow and the secondary characters just add to the story. You never know which characters you will see in the next book. Find out what will happen between these two, are they meant to be together or will fate have other ideas for them.

I enjoy each and every book in this series by Alice Rachel. I can’t wait to see what comes next. Alice loves spending time with her husband and guinea pigs. When she is not writing, she teaches French, reading and drawing. Once again, this author has created a story that you will totally lose yourself in. You will lose track of time and things going on around you. It is a fast story that you will not want to put down until you see the end. This story will keep you engaged until the end and you won’t want to miss the end! I highly recommend this story and all the rest of this series. You need to see what happens with all these characters!

Controlling Darkness (Control #4) by Anna Edwards – Review by Bobbi Wagner

Controlling Darkness (Control #4)Controlling Darkness by Anna Edwards
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Controlling Darkness (The Control Series Book 4) by Anna Edwards is the fourth book in her series, The Control. This is the first book I have read of hers and in this series and I can’t wait to go back and read the others. This story can be read as a standalone but if the others are as great as this one then I recommend reading the entire series. This story is about two people who has painful pasts but that pain can become love. This story is full of action, suspense and of course, hot, steamy romance. One of the things I love about this author is her attention to detail and her development of these characters. These characters will take you on a roller coaster ride of various emotions that will keep you engaged until the end. This story will pull you in from the first word and keep you wanting more from these characters. Find out what happens to these two people as they learn trust and let themselves heal.

Sonia Anderson has just taken a new job as a bodyguard and one that will change her life forever. She is assigned to the role of guarding Amy North, girlfriend of a billionaire, James North. The psychological evaluations don’t show anything about the secrets she holds when she was growing up. Her scars represent a world that is out of her control.

Matthew Carter is sharp, a master at his trade and long time standing bodyguard for James North. His past involves being responsible for the death of a colleague, not just any colleague, his wife. The revelations of the misguided control are explored here in Controlling Darkness.

Sonia and Matthew’s relationship is one that I believe there was attraction from the beginning. They both have pasts that have left scars and demons that need to be dealt with. Will they heal one another? Will they learn to forgive? When they are faced with danger, what will happen to them? Together these two are sweet and strong. She is independent and stubborn. She is strong and can be a little feisty at times. He is strong and dominant. He just wants to keep her safe and help her gain self confidence back that she lost as a child. You will love them together and they really do make this story flow. They complement each other and have a way of pushing the other to deal with things they don’t think they are ready for. The secondary characters are just as awesome. I hope we get to see more from them in the future. They complete the story and help keep it engaging. Find out what happens to this couple as they are faced with their demons, are they safe? Will they find their HEA or will fate have other things in store for them?

This is my first story by Anna Edwards and I know it will not be the last. I can’t wait to go back and read the rest of this series and can’t wait to see what the next installment of this series will bring. Anna lives with her husband, two children and two cats. She spends most of her time writing although she still does some accounting which she has done in the past. She enjoys making and eat cake and taking photographs. You will love how this story just pulls you into their world. You will find yourself getting lost in their world and hoping for them to get their HEA. You will find yourself getting mad at certain times but also needing ice water to cool off in other parts. This story is fast paced and I couldn’t put it down until the end. There are some twists and turns that you won’t want to miss or see coming. I highly recommend this story as I know you will love this story as much as I do.

This is my third story by Alice Rachel and I know it won’t be the last. I can’t wait to see what happens with these characters next. I enjoy each of her books more with each one I read next. Alice loves spending time with her husband and guinea pigs. When she is not writing, she teaches French, reading and drawing. This author has created a story that you will read in one sitting. She created a story that has so many twists and turns and have you sitting on the edge of your seat on minute and needing Kleenex the next. This is a real page turner that you will lose yourself in and just lose track of time. You will need to see what happens with these two. I highly suggest this story as I know you will want to take the journey with Thai and watch her grow through each story.

Akio: A Short Story (UNDER GROUND #0.5)Akio: A Short Story by Alice Rachel
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Akio: A Short Story (Under Ground #.5) by Rachel Alice is part of the Under Ground series. If you haven’t started reading this series yet, I recommend you start. Although this is part of the Under Ground series, it can be read as a stand alone as in this story we get introduced to a new character. This book is a little different than the others in this series but you will enjoy the characters introduced. One of the things I enjoy about this author is her ability to write about so many different characters with so many different views. You will enjoy these characters as they take you on a roller coaster ride of various emotions that include compassion, anger and hope. Find out what happens to these characters as they start their journey of life and its struggles.

What will happen when his father throws him out for being a devrient? Sometimes fate works in mysterious ways and fate may have other plans. What will his fate be? Will he ever trust again?

Akio is a strong character that really comes into his own by the end of the book. He feels that he will never recover and be with anyone again. He has had to grow up the hard way but I think that he is a better person for it. He has supporting characters that really add to this story. They make the story flow to what it is and it is what helps keeps you engaged in this story. Find out what happens to Akio as he starts a journey he never expected to take. What does fate have in store for him?

I enjoyed meeting a new character in this series by Alice Rachel. In every installment of this series, she never seems to surprise me more until I get into the story and she throws a twist to it. Alice loves spending time with her husband and guinea pigs. When she is not writing, she teaches French, reading and drawing. Once again she has created a story that is fast paced and will keep you reading until the end. You will want to see what happens with these characters. You will read this story in one sitting and you won’t put it down until you are done.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Chi: A Short Story 1 (Under Ground #0.1) by Alice Rachel is part of her Under Ground series. It is highly recommended that you read the previous books before this one, they will give you information on characters and help you understand where things are at. This story is told in the POV of Chi and it starts before he meets Thai. If you have read any of this series then you will understand when I say, that it was great seeing Chi’s version before he met Thai. We have heard from a few other characters before this point. But you will enjoy his version of what was happening. This is a short story but it keeps you engaged. Find out what Chi’s version of things.

Chi is a twin, he was never asked to be born into a family that is only allowed one child. He has never wanted to be a burden on his family but now they are gone. Are they dead? Are they safe? He has no idea. He has spent his life hiding and running. He is determined not to hide anymore. What will happen to him? Is he safe? How will he survive?

I am not sure how many of Alice Rachel books I have read now but each one has a piece of the puzzle. Just when I think I know what is happening before and after, there is another version in someone else’s POV. Alice loves spending time with her husband and guinea pigs. When she is not writing, she teaches French, reading and drawing. This is a fast reading short story that will have you reading until the end. I read it in one sitting and I think you will too. You will enjoy Chi’s version of things and will want to see what happens next. I highly suggest this installment of this series as I know you will want to see what happens next in this series.

I highly recommend that you read the books in this series as it will give you background information on the characters that you will find helpful. This story is in the point of view of Willow. It is great to see another installment in the point of view of another character. This is another short story by this author but it will keep you engaged until the end.

Willow is a young girl who also is an Unwanted. Like Chi she has to remain hidden because she has an older sister. Her problem becomes when she falls in love with Stephen. She knows they can never be together. What will happen when Chi shows up at her door step? Will she betray the one person that she loves the most? What happens will be surprising but it can’t be undone. What will she do? She is not as strong of a character as some of the other characters in this series. She feels like she has no control over anything. She has control over one thing but will she keep that control?

You will enjoy seeing Willow’s point of view. She will pull at your heart strings. She just wants to love who she wants and not be told who she can love. I completely lose myself in this series with everyone book I read. Alice Rachel writes with feeling and her characters really show it. Alice loves spending time with her husband and guinea pigs. When she is not writing, she teaches French, reading and drawing. This is a short story that you will find yourself reading in one sitting and it will keep you wanting more.

William: A Short Story (UNDER GROUND #0.2)William: A Short Story by Alice Rachel
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

William: A Short Story (Under Ground #0.2) by Alice Rachel is part of the Under Ground Series. I highly recommend reading the previous books in this series before this one as it will give you more information on the characters and where they are at. This installment is about William’s point of view and his perception of how things are. This author once again has created a character that is strong and controlling See another perception of another character really brings a lot to this series. Find out how William views things.

William is the type that when he sees something he wants, he just takes it. He doesn’t think he needs permission and he was raised to not accept rejection. But what will happen when his chosen finance doesn’t want him and even goes as far as betrayal? He is obsessed with her to the point it is not healthy. He is determined to make her his, she is mine! How far will his obsession go? Will it put him in danger? Will he get his revenge on the person who stole her from him? William is a character that you may hate because he isn’t very nice and is very disrespectful. He just wants everything even if they don’t want him. Find out if obsession will put everyone in danger.

The one thing that I enjoy with Alice Rachel’s stories is that she never lets me down with the creation of her characters. Even though I didn’t necessary enjoy William’s character, he really does make the story flow and give it a twist. Alice loves spending time with her husband and guinea pigs. When she is not writing, she teaches French, reading and drawing. This is a fast story that will keep you engaged until the end. I will say that, it may make you angry at times as it did me. You will enjoy the twist it brings to the story. I highly recommend this story as I know you will want to find out what William’s perception of things.

Holding Ground: A Stephen Richards Novella 2 (Under Ground #2.5)Holding Ground: A Stephen Richards Novella 2 by Alice Rachel
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Holding Ground: A Stephen Richards Novella 2 (Under Ground #2.5) by Alice Rachel is the fourth book in the Under Ground series. This is a continuation of Stephen’s story and the previous should be read before this one in order for you to get a full picture of what is going on in the story. This story is told by Stephen and it will give you a different view or opinion of him at least for me it did. Like the previous stories in this series, it will pull you into the characters world and life. You will enjoy how these characters connect and really just make the story flow. As always, this author’s stories pulls me in from the first word and this one is no different. Find out what happens next with these characters as we continue on their journey with them.

This story picks up where Stephen has been captured and imprisoned in a cell. It doesn’t take long to figure out why he is here, there is only one reason, of course. He has a lot of self loathing and feels guilty for things that are out of his control. His childhood has not been all that good as you will find out more in this story. Will he ever be able to learn to trust again? Why does he protect his brother when he can’t stand him? His family has not been there for him, in fact, I couldn’t stand his parents before in the previous stories. In this story, I know I don’t like them, they have done nothing to help or protect him. You will question why she hasn’t been a mother to him or why she hates him so much. In this story you will get to see more of Stephen and how he really is as a person. You will get an incite on him that may change your mind on how you feel about him. Find out Stephen’s side of things and then you can make a decision on where or not he is a strong character or the type of character he is.

I think that this is the best one in this series yet by Alice Rachel. This series just keeps getting better and better in each next book of this series. Alice loves spending time with her husband and guinea pigs. When she is not writing, she teaches French, reading and drawing. Once again, she has created a story that I couldn’t put down and I read in one sitting. This story is a fast paced story that will have you turning page after page. You will need to see how Stephen’s story ends. The twists and turns will keep you engaged in this story until the end. I highly suggest this story as you want to see what happens next with this family’s journey.

Missing (Lyn Kramer Mystery, #1)Missing by Ann Jones
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Missing (Lyn Kramer Mystery, #1) by Ann Jones is her debut book that is totally AWESOME! I fully loved her writing style and her creation of characters. Her writing will pull you in from the first word and keep you engaged until the last word. This story is about a woman who just disappears and now the police department is left to find her (I don’t want to say to much as it will give away so many things and you really need to read this story to find out). This story is full of action and suspense. There are some twists and turns that will leave you sitting on the edge of your seat. The characters are connectable, true to life, and they just pop off the pages and into your life. They will pull you into their world from the first word until the very last. Lyn was my favorite character in this story. She is kind of sassy but she is tough considering her childhood. She knows what she wants and how to get it. She is not afraid to push limits when necessary to get what she wants. The secondary characters are supportive of her and add to the story flow. They will take you on a journey of various emotions that at one point, I wanted to yell, what were you thinking and then other times complete compassion. You will not regret reading this book. I highly recommend this book, you won’t see what is coming for these characters. I can’t wait for Ann Jones next book and what she will have for us next!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Losing Ground: A Stephen Richards Novella 1 (Under Ground #1.5) by Alice Rachel is the second story in the Under Ground series. This story is a continuation of Under Ground but in this story it is told by Stephen and his point of view of things that happened before we meet him in Under Ground. This story will help you understand Stephen’s character and why he feels the way he does. You will love how the author has given his point of view that will pull at your heart strings and make you feel what he is feeling. This story will make you feel a variety of things from anger, to sadness to compassion. Find out Stephen’s side of things!

Stephen Richards is the twin brother of Chi. Because Chi was not suppose to live, he has been hidden. Not only has he been hidden from the world but also the truth of what their parents really are, monsters. Stephen is determined to hide the truth about his family from his brother. He is afraid if he found out it would destroy him. He can’t stand his brother, he is weak, naive and just too gentle. Find out what happens when decisions are made about their future.

This is my second story by Alice Rachel and I know it won’t be the last, I can’t wait to see what will happen to Stephen and Chi. Alice loves spending time with her husband and guinea pigs. When she is not writing, she teaches French, reading and drawing. I love that this author has the proceeds from this book going to a great cause, anti-sexual violence association. This is a one sitting read that will leave you wanting more. This story will take you on a roller coaster ride of emotions that will leave you feeling what the heck and other times feeling the love of the characters. I highly recommend this story as I know you will find it to be a fast page turner like I did and you will lose yourself in this story.

Under Ground (Under Ground #1)Under Ground by Alice Rachel
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Under Ground by Alice Rachel is a dystopain romance that is haunting and suspenseful This story is about living in a society that is not what would be acceptable in today’s world, fighting for what you believe in could cost you everything. This story is full of suspense, excitement and a touch of romance. The author created characters that will pull at your heart strings and characters that you would rather just knock on the head. It has been awhile since I have read a dystopain story that holds your attention from the first page. The characters will take you on a journey that will cause you to feel a various emotions but it is a journey you will want to take.

Thai Clay is a seventeen year old that was born in a society where women have not rights and no chance for a bright future. Her parents has sold her into a marriage to a man she doesn’t know, doesn’t love and has caused her to be depressed. What kind of person is he? Will she like him? Will he marry her? What will happen when she meets another man? Will he change things for her?

Chi Richards was born illegally and has been forced to hide from authorities most of his life. He is part of the under ground rebellious group that planning to overthrow the government. His only goal right now is to save his parents from the prison camps. What will happen when he meets her? She wasn’t part of his plan, what will he do now? He never expected to have feelings for her, how will this effect his plans?

Thai and Chi’s relationship is one that is forbidden and could mean a death sentence. Will they risk everything to be together? How will she react when his secrets are revealed? If she relies on instinct to make a choice, will it save her or will it destroy her? You will love how the author has made these two characters connect. Their feelings for each other are dangerous and taboo, how far are they willing to go to be together?

This is my first story by Alice Rachel and it certainly won’t be the last. Alice loves spending time with her husband and guinea pigs. When she is not writing, she teaches French, reading and drawing. This author has created a story that you will read in one sitting. This story is a page turner and will leave you wanting to see what will happen on the next page. You will totally lose time while reading this story. These characters will make you feel what they are feeling, you may even want to have a box of Kleenex sitting next to you. I highly suggest this story as I know you will love to read what happens on every page of this story and will enjoy reading it as much as I have.
