Journeys Through is a wonderful series of metaphysical fiction books. With interconnected stories set in an array of vibrantly described worlds, it really is a treat for readers looking for something a bit different that will fuel their imaginations. I particularly enjoy how this book sits across multiple genres, with different storylines fitting more into, say, space opera or urban fantasy. Common themes, and the author’s writing style, provide consistency through these different worlds in the MultiVerse. These three books all get five stars from me, and it’s so handy that they’re all collected together in one volume! I would definitely recommend getting this version if you haven’t already read the first couple of books, so you can move seamlessly between them rather than having to wait until you have an opportunity to get the next book!

Journeys Through Collection; Volumes 1-3 by James Talisman 4 Stars
Journeys Through Collection is unlike any boxset you have read. It is classified as science fiction/ fantasy but it also has spirituality woven throughout. Each book is truly original. The stories take place on different planets at different times. Many reminding me of different eras on Earth; Egyptians, Japanese warriors, gladiators and present day. There are many characters and multiple points of view which are constantly changing. I suggest that you pay attention, I got a little list sometimes.
I’m happy that this is a boxset. You need to read these books in order to understand exactly what’s going on. The plot thickens and follows through each book. I don’t usually read this genre but decided to step out of my comfort zone. It was well written and well thought out. If you are a Star Trek fan then you will love these books.

This boxset has amazing characters. You get to follow their stories through the whole series. You get a great glimpse into many different utopian universes. I won’t lie in the beginning I had a hard time following all the different things going on, but once I got sucked in I couldn’t put the book down. This is a great read.

Who doesn’t love a box set? Here we get 3 full length novels, almost 1,000 pages of awesomeness (is that a real word?) Having not read sci-fi/fantasy since my teens I was a bit wary before starting this series but it came highly recommended so I plunged straight in and…I was hooked. The first book in this series is the author’s debut novel and I’m totally blown away by just how amazing and detailed his writing is. He must have one amazing imagination to dream these characters and the different universes up. I really am astounded by the way that you can imagine yourself in the various different universes of the MultiVerse as the author has done such a great job of describing them and setting the scene. There are a lot of characters in these books and, during the first book, I did have a little difficulty in remembering who was who, who were the good guys and who were the bad guys but I soon got to know the characters better and especially loved reading about Matt, Julia and Dan. They were my favourites to read about but I did enjoy reading about all the characters. The books are very entertaining and keep you on the edge of your seat, wondering what is going to happen next. The 3rd book does leave you in a way that, if he chooses to, the author can continue this series and I really hope he does.

The Journeys Through Series hooked me right from the first book in the Series, Journeys Through Space Time. Now it is in a boxed set! This series intrigued me from the very beginning, and I found it difficult to put the books down. I quickly became wrapped up in the lives of the characters and was fascinated by the concept of multiple worlds. The multiple characters, storylines and points of view were beautifully written, and the story was immensely entertaining.
Even more intriguing to me was that the voice of a mysterious being could be heard in the minds of inhabitants across both time and space. This powerful and wise voice spoke to each inhabitant and gave each one of them advice or words of warning. The only thing linking the inhabitants of all these different worlds was the mysterious voice that each one of them heard. Those that heard the mysterious voice must now combine forces and use their knowledge and newly acquired skills to fight the forces of evil. The fate of the Multiverse is up to them.
I found it truly fascinating to explore the concept of multiple worlds and the vast Multiverse of space and time. The concept of multiple planets each with their own inhabitants had me really thinking about the possibility of life on other planets. The thought of a wise and powerful being that could get into our minds and control our thoughts intrigued me.
The story picks up more in Book Two and really intensifies in Book Three when an ancient prophecy has predicted that an intelligent and powerful being plans to use the powers contained in the Dokkaebi-of-all-Creation to destroy various universes that make up the Multiverse. Once again, our heroes must come from their different universes to save the Multiverse from being destroyed. However, each of our heroes must first come to the realization that their universe is not the only one that exists. They must train hard and prepare for this battle or risk the Multiverse disappearing forever. It becomes a confrontation between the Gods and the Mortals as they fight to save all creation. Who will win this battle?
This series gave me plenty to think about with the concept of multiple realities taking place simultaneously on multiple planets. The author has done an amazing job of creating lovable characters along with some not so lovable ones. You find yourself rooting for good to win over evil. Each Universe is described so vividly along with each character that you feel like you are right there with them. This is an amazing series that I highly recommend reading!

Journeys Through Collection: Volumes 1-3 group together the debut novels of James Talisman. This is a fantastic way to get the series all in one place. I recommend reading these books in order to fully enjoy this wonderful series. This is a series filled with science fiction, fantasy, time travel, and multiple universes. The first book drew me in with a well-thought-out and interesting story that kept me reading and engaged. The characters are interesting and those from some of the other worlds harken back to mythology and our ancient history. I really liked the storytelling and the development of different locations. All of the books in this collection bring different aspects to light in this new universe and I am glad to have them all in one place. I look forward to what this author writes in the future.

The Journeys boxset is a journey of a five-star read. I have been known to get into many a debate about the multiverse theory and usually avoid stories about it as they all follow the same type and we just get the one line, but I am glad I took the chance on this one as it had a great fresh perspective and made me start a whole debate about ideas from this story. Normally I cannot do that as I read a lot of romance and science nerds do not enjoy debating that, but this was great we started on one point and I brought in so many more. Much like the story it was deep and complex, and I found myself arguing over people just to get my point across, I explained it in different ways as the characters were so complex, they gave you strength from reading them. After we had our discussion we sat and talked and they all asked what book I had read as it must have been good to get me so impassioned, I explained that it was one I took a chance on and I hope many more people will. Journeys through TimeSpace has once again brought us along on a jam packed journey, one that has you guessing and thinking at every turn, it is a busy story and there is a lot going on, but the author manages to keep it all together and as long as you aren’t easily distracted when reading you are able to keep up well (even if you are do try as I am a flicker on the tv while I read and I managed to keep up with it okay). This has a great sucking power as I will be thinking of something while I’m at work, and then all of a sudden, I will be thinking about who will win the battle and who I’m invested in. The only other thing to add is what an imagination this author must have, it always surprises me when I read sci-fi and fantasy as I figure the authors minds must never stop to be filled with such amazing landscapes and this author is no exception.

Book 1: This is a sci-fi/fantasy in which there are multiple storylines following different characters in different universes, realities and timelines. Each is very different and draws on various ancient mythologies which I really enjoyed. Although confusing to follow, I appreciated having to engage more with the story. I also liked the world-building, which was extremely complex, although it was at times more descriptive and wordy than immersive. The ending was definitely action-packed, and the weaving of the story becomes clear in the way the end is tied up but leaves you wanting more.
Book 2: Having read the first book in this series, I really enjoyed this second one. There’s so much action and it’s a really interesting take on consciousness and time and Multiverse, and I love how time travel is connected with reincarnation. I definitely found this book easier to get into than the first one, because the characters were already set up so the time/space conundrum was less confusing. The relationships between some of the characters could have been developed more, or more conflict added. An original, transportive story.

Are you looking for a box set that is scifi fantasy and full of adventure? Say no more, definitely check out this box set!! The covers of these books are beautiful too and really catch my eye. Sci Fi is not my normal genre to read, but I decided to branch out and give this a try and I am very thankful and happy that I did!
First off I really just commend the author for adding a Character List at the beginning of the book as this was very helpful in book 1 of Journeys Through Spacetime. There are many characters with different POVs and so much detail, this really made me think I wanted to be part of this story in the book. I love the action, adventure, mixed with betrayal all wrapped into this book. The author did such a fantastic job on details and having different worlds revolving around all the characters.
For book 2 I definitely recommend reading book 1 first before reading this book, but the story is truly fantastic. Book 2 picks up where book 1 leaves. You really get more in detail the stories of the characters and their agendas. I feel like I was along side with Matt, Julia and Dan as they embark on quite a journey. Truly Wonderful story and i enjoyed the adventure and mystery.
The author has really done a fantastic job with just layers of characters and story-line for this epic adventure. I would definitely recommend reading the books in order and just cozy up tremendous read! Highly recommended

Book 1 Cleverly written sci-fi adventure This was an exceptional piece of writing. So many layers that one could easily become lost in the intricate web of the multi-verse. The author was very good at providing moments of grounding within each chapter that really helped the reader to connect and gather their understanding. There is a lot within these pages but it all needs to be appreciated as a whole package – so reading on is a must as it all ties in together. As I finished the book it I felt like I had been on an epic journey – just as the title says.
Book 2 Sci-fi fantasy with punch! Wow – this goes from strength to strength. The book takes off right where book 1 finished and does not stop. I devoured each of the words and just wanted to keep going. The intricate layers are excellently interwoven and lead to an ultimate climax. The characters I had really connected with in the first book really come unto their own as things start to align. Building on my understanding of the multiverse from book 1, I found this easier to follow. There is a cheeky little cliffhanger at the end which leaves the door open for more to come – Excellent!
Book 3 Creative, clever and cosmic The 3rd book in a brilliant series. Set in the multiverse the trials and ventures from the previous books comes to a magnificent climax and satisfying but open ended conclusion. This author is extremely talented at weaving a multi-layered universe that is intriguing and easy to navigate. From page one it is all systems go. This is a must-read from beginning to end. I really hope there is more to come.

The Journeys Through Collection is the first series from James Talisman and I definitely think it will be the first of many from this talented author. I am not usually a Sci/Fi reader but after reading this amazing boxset with such vivid worlds and creatively written characters I might just be starting to become a fan. To get this old girl to try something new is no small feat so thanks Mr Talisman for showing me old dogs can in fact learn new tricks. I will say I struggled at first with the amount of changes from one place/ set of characters to another…I guess I should actually call that the Multiverse… but that is totally on me. I kept with it and found my flow with the story and I am so glad I did. If this kind of story telling is a challenge for you also, I strongly suggest sticking with it as you will be rewarded with an action packed, imaginative and phenomenally well crafted story. Having the boxset is definitely the way to go so that you can can just keep reading. You won’t want to wait between books! All I can say is get reading now!

The Journeys Through collection was such a fantastic read! The box set contains three full length novels. I was instantly pulled into the stories through the author’s imaginative ad creative writing style. The storyline is complex but I really found that I was able to become fully absorbed into what I was reading. I’m not usually a fan of sci-fi stories but I did actually really enjoy this one and I am definitely looking forward to reading more! The characters in the story were really interesting to read about, and being told from multiple points of view enabled me to begin to understand the role each of them played in the story. The story as whole was beautifully detailed and I could definitely tell how much work the author had out into the story.
All three books were great to read and you could see the difference in the writing over the three books, not that the writing was bad in anyway but each book was better than the one before in my opinion. The authors creativity really shone through in his writing and all three books were really enjoyable to read.

‘Journeys Through Collection: Volumes 1-3′ contains all three books in the Journeys Through series by James Talisman. I love a boxed set, getting multiple books at a time- that’s always a winner in my eyes. Mr. Talisman has crafted a wonderful sci-fi adventure story full of imagination and creative touches. His world building is quite original- and gives his stories an extra element of intrigue. The adventures are well-woven and thought provoking- easily pulling me in to become part of all the action. But along with the action and adventure, Mr. Talisman also explores themes of consciousness, relativity, spirituality, ancient wisdoms, time travel, reality, the multiverse, connection, and more. Three stories in one- now that’s a great deal! Just to give you a taste of what to expect, here is my individual review for Book One: ‘Journeys Through SpaceTime’ is the debut novel, and first instalment in the ‘Journeys Through’ series by James Talisman. This sci-fi/fantasy story has so much going on in it and quite a lot of characters to keep track of. The storyline is multi-layered and complex, with multiple worlds and time-lines. The weaving of the story takes us on an action-packed adventure- where good vs evil, danger abounds, hidden agendas come to light, and a bit of ‘political’ manoeuvring takes place. As this story spans space, and time- and introduces various principles/concepts to do with consciousness, universal energy and wisdom- it begins to build and explain the dynamics of this MultiVerse. The story is told from multiple points of view- which gives the reader a fully immersive reading experience whilst helping us to better understand the dynamics of each ‘layer’ of the storyline. There’s definitely a mysteriousness to the storyline, which adds to the overall intrigue. It’s very interesting, if not a little wordy in places. All the ‘action’ in the various ‘worlds’, and with so many characters playing their part in this epic story; as well as all the switching back and forth between worlds and POV’s- made things a little confusing for me in the beginning. But as I got more of a handle on the story, characters, and flow- I really enjoyed the journey. There are factors of the story which had a ‘Roman Legion’ feel, while other parts felt more Egyptian- with space and technological components, some Japanese Samurai like elements; as well as delving into some spirituality and consciousness concepts, & then the space and time factors, and conspiracies/plots/hidden agendas thrown in for good measure- and this story really took off. It will both captivate you, while making you think. There is plenty of suspenseful moments which had me flipping the pages to discover how everything would play out. I loved that while a few of the threads were tied up at the end- we are left knowing that there is more to come- and plenty more to discover and unravel in the following instalment/s.
Looking forward to seeing where we go from here. Happy Reading!

Journeys Through Collection (volumes 1-3) By James Talisman Review by Susan Ratchford 5 stars
Book 1: Six very different people from vastly different multiverses (including but not limited to, a sword masters son Hirisho, a reptilian humanoid scientist Tysson, a Co-councilor for a Utopian world Rashella, and an ordinary college student named Matt) all hear the same mysterious voice inside their head. Godlike mentors appear to each of them and all must embark on separate quests and use their newly acquired wisdom of all creation and reality to fight for and protect the sanctity of all of their worlds. This book was enthralling, a must read! James Talisman truly transports you through different worlds with his vivid imagery and thought provoking characters. Each one so different but expertly brought to life through his imaginative writing. This fast paced novel had me captivated from the first page with twists and turns I never saw coming. His blend of ancient ideals and futuristic concepts bring a delightful duality to the genre. I can’t wait to read the next book in such a creative series! Book 2: With the final battle approaching, Matt and his two friends must learn to travel throughout time to obtain powerful artifacts needed to defend their world from an oncoming attack. The reptilian humanoid leader and his followers are planning total destruction. Traversing through many famous and dangerous eras of Earth’s past, and even its future, Matt and friends try to collect what is needed for a secret organization’s plan to save the planet. I absolutely loved this book! James Talisman has a way with detail and imagery in a series with such vastness, that he makes it so easy to picture everything! I could really feel the bond between the characters! The time travel segments to different eras had me reading as fast as I could just to find out what would happen next! The incorporation of mythology and Atlantis as well as the way that the ending reveals itself is as unexpected as it is satisfying. It really makes you think! Book 3: The multiverse is in danger, entire universes are to be erased from existence. Ancient twins Matt and Rashella must journey through vast worlds, universes, and even their own spiritual consciousness to stop an ancient prophecy and rescue their mentors from a grand illusion. Tensions rise as the pair prepare for their biggest battle yet. Will the power of unity triumph over the former celestial ruler, the devil who believes that only the truly supreme shall rule? Or will universes collapse, crumble under the weight of the crimson “god’s” greed? What a wonderful read! I love this series so much and as always I was hooked from page one!!!! Such an engaging story makes you feel like anything is possible!! I really liked seeing where the characters are and how they have grown throughout. I felt really connected to them through James Talisman’s writing. He builds beautiful and vast worlds with such striking characters. My favorite part was how the Spirit Servitors were described! Just a fantastical book that blends the Ancient with the Futuristic in a fun and unique way. It’s both an epic and satisfying read!!!! I cannot say enough about this book, I highly recommend it!!!!

A lot of thought went into the creation of these books. Having them all in a collection is great because you can binge read all the way through! There are many layers to the story so it gives you an immersive experience. Interesting characters, great worldbuilding. Loved the spiritual aspects woven through. You’ll definitely want to read through the series several times to soak up all there is to be absorbed. Subsequent readings will have you noticing things you didn’t before, and give you a deeper understanding of the story. An epic reading adventure!

Journeys Through SpaceTime is the first novel in the Journeys Through series. At first it was a little bit confusing when trying to keep track on who is who. The author introduced too many different people all at once. As time went on and more things were written, it got easier.
The book is about a multiverse with several different peoples point of view. They were all written so differently that it held on to my interest even in the initial confusion. As time went on, I fell in love with most of the characters.
I have heard about multiverse before, especially through The Flash from DC but this novel took it to a whole new level in a good way! It took the classic good vs evil and threw in different species, different types of environments all mixed together in this universe.
I am not a sci-fi fan when it comes to space or things of a similar genre so when a few characters were from Earth, it made it more enjoyable for me. If you are a huge fan of sci-fi then this is the book for you! Even if you are not a sci-fi fan, I still recommend this novel.
Journeys Through TimeSpace is the second book in the Journeys Through series. The book is split across multiple worlds in a Multiverse, just like the first book in the series. I have to say I enjoyed this book much more than the first one. I found the first one a bit confusing to keep track of all the characters and places. In the second one, there are less characters to keep track of which made it easier for me to connect to the characters.
My favorite characters were the three friends from college. Their friendship was strong and could hold up to any challenge thrown their way. Matt and Julia’s relationship as a couple was very cute and romantic. When the third friend was around, he was not treated as a third wheel, they were all just close friends.
This book once again had everything you look for in a sci-fi genre, space, adventure, multiverse, time travel. The author’s writing is very descriptive and it makes you feel like you could be there. I would recommend this book to any sci-fi lover.

This is not my usual genre but sometimes I really just love a good sci-fi read. There are rare times when an author can keep me entertained and interested and this series does just that.
This first book is so complex with many different characters and worlds intermingling, but it all works, and comes together nicely while still being able to follow along easily. The storyline was gripping and very fun to get into, and I love a book that makes me feel as if I am living in the same time, or space etc. The action, suspense and adventure kept me enthralled waiting to see what would happen next to each individual character. I really enjoyed the beginning that had a layout of all the different worlds, the characters we would meet from those different worlds and how they were connected to the other characters. It helped me put a lot together in my own mind. I was impressed with how easy it was to follow along with each journey because at the start of a new story, the world in which we were being transported to was announced.
Time travel is always a fun topic and I became very immersed in the story of 3 friends, Matt, Julia and Dan, on a treasure hunt you could say. The different cities, places and worlds they travel to, are nicely written and it feels as if I were along for the ride myself. The story is just so interesting and packed full, I was sometimes confused but was easily able to jump right back in. I love how each location is mentioned before going into the next part of the story, it really helped me keep up with what was happening, and the list in the beginning showing all the characters and what world they are from was really nice.

I have been a loyal fan of this gifted author, since book 1. I was hooked, and fell in love with this series with no hesitation at all! The story is a treat for the mind, along with a visual experience for the eyes, that is so amazing saying extraordinary is an understatement!
The series has adventure, science, space, and of course characters you truly love, and some you truly hate. I love that each book is a different adventure, but the relations to each book in the series are undeniable. I enjoyed each one differently. Each one was impossible not to love. Each one took myself on a journey of its own that was a self discovery. To what it would be, well I did not know until my adventure started as I read the book! I love that the author has created such a series that is so captivating and mesmerizing as this one!

This is a truly wonderful series. You’ll find it fascinating, original and unique. You’ll embark on a journey that will take you through the multiverse as the good guys battle to save the universe from evil. I was sucked into book 1 and it got better the farther into the series I went. There were twists and turns where you didn’t expect them. The characters were so well-written that you could swear you knew some of them. It is a very engaging series which is why I would give it more than a 5 if I could. Well worth the purchase. Highly recommend.

This is a great box set of three great books by an awesome author. Each book is well written and keeps you engaged throughout. They take you on an adventure through a journey of a MultiVerse that is a stake. I enjoyed each of these books and how the characters took me on an adventure that kept me coming back for more. The author brought each story to life with his writing style and his attention to details. They are realistic stories that are full of action and fast paced. There is alot going on in each story but the author did a great job of keeping my attention. They are entertaining and hard to put down. This is an author that I never hesitate to pick up because I know what I am getting when I pick up his books. I highly recommend this boxset to find out who wins this war.

This is an amazing boxset filled with fantasy and adventure. The stories keep you gripped and author does an amazing job at character and world building. I got completely lost in this Sci fi adventure.
Journey through spacetime
This is an amazing adventure story. The multiverse has several worlds, all with their own stories and battles.
On every world there is a battle between good and evil, however what they dont realise is that they are all connected to each other, and they need to work together in order to win this battle. Will good win over evil this time or is the evil force too strong to be beaten.
I really enjoyed this story once i got into it and kept track of the characters and how they are all linked. Its a really well written story and the characters are captivating.
Journey through Time Space
This is the 2nd book in the series and what an adventure. Like the first book it is a multi-level story so you need to keep on the ball as the different stories happen and twist together.
There are 2 different treasure hunts happening both with different outcomes.
The reptilian humanoids are searching for something to make their new weapon work. And the 3 college students, Matt, Dan and Julie are set out to learn ancient skills all centred about unity and the belief anything is possible if you are a united front.
Matt is the Ancient One and his role in all this is to safe earth. Will he and his friends learn the skills they need in time or will the other treasure hunters reach their goal first.
Its a great adventure full of twists and turns. Really well written and gripping from the first page.
Journey through allcreation
This is the 3rd book in the Journeys through series and they just keep getting better and better. I highly recommend reading all these books in order so that you understand the full story and also don’t get overwhelmed by the amount of characters. The author does an amazing job making each character unique and giving them all a purpose and identity which means the reader can easily tell them apart. This is a great adventure from the beginning. It’s fast paced and a story or good vs evil in a fight to save planet earth and all the other planets in the Multi Verse. There is a prophecy that needs to be understood to figure out how to save them all but with the forces of evil getting more powerful and 2 of the important people trapped this leaves the fate of everything in the hands of Matt and his other friends from across the Multiverse. The connection between the characters is also really unique such as Matt and Rashella being twins in a different time and seeing how that connection plays out even though now they are from 2 separate worlds.
This is definately a book for someone who loves a story that will grab a hold of you and not let go. You find yourself getting lose in the journey through time and space and fighting to save your world from a threat you didn’t even know existed.

Journeys Through SpaceTime by James Talisman is the first book in the Journeys Through series. This is my first book by Talisman and I can already see that I will be looking to read more books by him in the future. The characters and scenery are beautifully descriptive and easily seen in your mind’s eye. This is definitely a work of passion for Talisman. The story plotline is that of a sci-fi story. It has all the good characteristics with time travel and multiple worlds all rolled up inside. There are some teaching moments within the story to set the story up to the next level as well. There are some twists and turns which keep the story moving and interesting. There were moments when I needed to revisit something I just read because I moved too quickly to get to the next page. So my warning is to really focus on what is happening because it is that amazing of a story. I cannot wait to see what Talisman has in store for us next.
James Talisman hit another home run with this Journeys Through TimeSpace. I highly recommend reading book one so you have some back story and introduction to the characters. This is a Sci-Fi story but there is a lot more than that going on. There are many different layers to the story you are about to read. It is packed full of action and you find yourself turning the pages faster to see what is coming down the line at you. The characters are complex and engaging. I felt at home with them. I was on an adventure with them. I highly recommend this journey and hope you enjoy this story as much as I have.

Eastern Shore Swingers (Boxset Books 1 to 3) By Phoebe Alexander
Fisher of Men (Book 1) After some bad relationships and with Will breaking her heart in such a way that she didn’t know how she was going to recover, Leah decided that she was going to let God guide the man to her that she should be with. She also knew this wouldn’t happen until God knew she was ready for it. Leah works at the Pearl Resort as she describes her work role as keeping guests and staff happy. One of Leah’s main roles is to help guests organize their functions and to ensure that all guests can have a room booked for that night. She also ensures that the guests have everything they ask for to make sure their functions go off without a hitch. Leah gets a call from her boss Barry to say they are a bar tender down for tonight’s function and asks if she can help. Having never attended bar before she has a few nervous moments. Little does Leah know that tonight’s function is a group of swingers who raise money for charities in the area. As the function starts Leah serves what she thinks is a handsome man with a gorgeous smile. It’s this handsome man that tells Leah that everyone at this function are swingers. During their conversation she finds out this man’s name is Chris, but he goes by the name of Cap by his friends. Leah asks why Cap and he tells her it’s because he is a captain of a fishing boat. Leah can’t get Cap out of her mind and questions if God is sending her a swinger as her ideal partner. Walking her dog Glory on the beach Leah bumps into Cap while he is walking his dog Keeper. Cap asks Leah if she would like to go for a coffee, but she makes the excuse that she must go back to work. After all what future could she have with a swinger? And as fisherman and swinger what is it that he could possibly offer her?
The Catch (Book 2) The Catch is book two in the Eastern Shore Swingers series by Phoebe Alexander. The catch can be read as a standalone quite easily. Keeping in mind this series is not suited for younger readers. As with book one book will also keep you wanting to turn the page to see what the main characters are getting up to. The Catch is centered around Paisley and Calvin. I loved their story and how they protective of each other. You will be surprised just how much depth the characters have considering the subject of the book. Paisley avoids relationships, and this is why I loved how Calvin and Paisley had such a good connection. Is there room in her life to love Calvin? Calvin needs to show Paisley that they do have a future, but how is he going to do this with her need to avoid relationships?
Siren Call (Book 3) Siren Call is the third instalment in the Eastern Shore Swingers series by Phoebe. Luckily this book can be read as a standalone and the storyline is very easy to follow. I wasn’t real sure about this book as I have never read a female/female romance before. But let me tell you I was pleasantly surprised and really enjoyed the story. There are quite a lot of sex scenes in this book but in true Phoebe style she has written the parts very well. As you can guess this is not your normal romance story, and by normal, I mean male/female. The book also has swingers, lesbian and bi sexual storylines, so if you aren’t into this type of reading don’t read the book, but I can tell you if you don’t read it you are going to miss out on a wonderfully written book. It an absolute hot read, so go get the series and I hope you enjoy it as I have. Thank you Phoebe for such a wonderful series.

“There’s a secret club in Ocean City, Maryland, where swingers from all over the mid-Atlantic converge every weekend to frolic and play in its many themed rooms. Welcome to the Factory, where in the midst of all the fun, there’s always a romance blossoming, sometimes where you least expect it.”
This contains the first three books in the Eastern Shore Swingers Series by Phoebe Alexander. The stories are set in and around a swinger’s club and gives us a glimpse into that ‘lifestyle’. To many, this story may seem way out of your comfort zone, but I encourage you to keep an open mind and dive in, because you will be pleasantly surprised by what you find between the covers of these beautiful stories. Yes, this collection/series does have the swinging element to it, and while that is an important part of the plot, there is so much more to them all. I love how Ms. Alexander weaves the swinging lifestyle into some wonderful romantic stories- while also infusing them with emotion, struggles, drama, acceptance, passion, and steamy moments. She’s a superb storyteller who writes fantastic, well balanced, sex-positive, realistic, and memorable stories! There’s never a dull moment to be found inside one of Ms. Alexander’s books, that’s for sure!
Fisher of Men (Book #1)
Fisher of Men is the first book in the Eastern Shore Swingers Series by Phoebe Alexander. This book is a wonderful, interesting and informative contemporary romance that explores the world of swinging- and what happens when a minister’s daughter meets a sexy swinger. Leah Miller, who works as an Assistant Manager at The Pearl hotel in Ocean City, Maryland. She’s the daughter of a small town country Minister and has grown up with strict Christian values. It was always assumed that Leah would follow in her parents’ footsteps and join them in their ecclesiastical duties. But Leah had her own ideas and wanted to pave her own path, so she goes against their wishes and takes a scholarship to Cornell, getting a degree in Hotel Management. Little does she know that this decision will change her life forever. Meeting Captain “Cap” Chris Sheldon at a private party in the hotel where she’s working will be the first step on her new path, because it’s here that she discovers the private party Cap is attending is a swingers’ party….. and he is a swinger. This only the beginning of her journey where she will learn a lot about herself, her faith, and life. This book is nothing like I thought it would be, and was deeper, sweeter and more meaningful than I had expected.
The Catch (Book #2)
The Catch is the second book in The Eastern Shore Swingers Series by Phoebe Alexander. This book is a wonderful contemporary romance that takes us on a journey into the world of swinging, so if you don’t like sexy, steamy, and erotic- then this probably isn’t the book for you! But, having said that, don’t let the ‘swinging’ part of the story put you off reading this really great story, because if you go into it with an open mind you will be surprised by what you’ll find under the cover of this superb story, there is much more to the story than the erotic elements. There is depth and substance. Paisley Parker is new to town and has been hired as a manager for the Factory (Private Swingers Club). She’s the definition of sex-bomb: a curvy burlesque dancer from New York. She doesn’t do relationships, only indulging in casual hook-ups. But is there more to her story? Is her confidence masking a deeper vulnerability? In an effort to develop a website for the Factory, Paisley hires someone with the expertise to get the job done right. Enter Calvin Mitchell. He’s immediately drawn to her and would like to see where their mutual attraction may lead. So, what happens when this one-woman-man meets this wild and sexy woman? What happens when he learns about the club and the ‘lifestyle’? What about their age difference? And what happens when the past returns to haunt her? This story is really well written, DUH- it’s Phoebe Alexander! There’s drama, emotion, passion, erotica, some suspense, surprises, friendship, connections, and lots of steam. The characters were wonderful and went through some development and growth over the course of the story. Once again Ms. Alexander has produced a enticing and sex-positive story, that drew me in right from the get-go.
Siren Call (Book #3)
Siren Call is the third book in the Eastern Shore Swingers Series by Phoebe Alexander. This is an erotic F/F romance with some drama and mystery. This book is nothing like I thought it would be. I wasn’t sure about the F/F aspect to the story, not that I don’t like it, so much as it’s hard to find a good one with a story that has some substance, as well as some spice. I shouldn’t have doubted it though, because I know Ms. Alexander is such a talented author and always produces a memorable and entertaining read. She writes beautifully and has a relaxed, detailed and descriptive style that embraces you and guides you into the heart of her story. Jessie Martinez is a Police Officer doing a favour for some friends. They ask her to look out for one of their club members. It’s not really such a bother, because the club member in question has caught Jessie’s attention, and she’s more than attracted and intrigued. There is definitely more to the situation than meets the eye and Jessie is determined to discover what it is. Sirena joined the club as a way to escape. A distraction and diversion from her painful memories and the heartache she’s endured. She wasn’t going to ‘crack’ so easily. But the more she gets to know Jessie the weaker her defences were becoming. What is she hiding? What happens when her secrets are revealed? What does fate have in store for them? You really must read the story and find out all the incredible details, because I don’t want to give away any spoilers her. I love these characters, they are so lovingly crafted- fully developed individuals who are realistic and totally believable. The story is passionate, erotic, emotional, interesting and entertaining. I loved how Ms. Alexander was able to bring the whole story to life and give it energy, heart and soul. I also appreciate sex-positive and body-positive messages that Ms. Alexander promotes through her storylines. This book is definitely a real showcase for/of the authors writing skills……
So, as you can see there is a variety of storylines here to explore. All are beautifully written, detailed and descriptive- nothing but the best from Ms. Alexander. Well worth the read- take a leap into the Eastern Shore series today- you’ll be pleasantly surprised by what you find here!

This series is not for someone lacking an open mind. These books challenge socially accepted norms regarding sex. Each book is well written and stands on its own easily. However once you dive in and become introduced to these characters and this club and this town, you will want to read them all. I’ve become a huge fan of Phoebe Alexander and look forward to reading more from her.
That Voodoo That You Do (Chateau Rouge Book 1) by Jolie St. Amant
5 Stars
This was an awesome collection of 3 short stories that I absolutely loved and enjoyed. One of my favorite parts is that they are all based in New Orleans at The Chateau Rouge. Now after reading all 3 of these, all I could think of is I want to go there, I would probably be scared out of my mind half the time but I don’t care, all of the characters in these stories were written and portrayed perfectly. This author has a way of taking very few pages and adding in so much content and not in a way that it feels like it has all been jam packed in there, there are also mini twists and turns throughout, not those kind that are earth shattering or major story changing but those kind that are placed perfectly and you never see them coming.
I have said this before and now I’ll say it again, I could read 100 books all in a row that take place at The Chateau Rouge, and I highly recommend this as it was just plain fun to read and I do see me reading all of these again in the future.

Chains is book one and introduces us to Cleo, Marcus and Master Chains. I instantly fell in love with these characters. As I did with Boyes characters from the Enigma and Perception series. The ending though…I just want to shake this author! Boyes writing style pulls the reader right into the story where nothing else matters.
Links is book two and continues Cleo and Marcus’ adventure. However, my heart is breaking for Cleo because I know that there is evil at work here. I can feel something big is about to happen!
“Because it isn’t what we have in value that defines us; it is how well we rise after falling that shows our true spirit.”
I am also beginning to see a pattern for this author…she really likes a cliff hanger where the reader is screaming NOOOOO!!! Right up to the last word!
Bound is book three in this series and starts off right where Links leaves us! This adventure is “A true rollercoaster ride.” Exactly the way Cleo’s emotions are through-out the entire book! This book has been by far my favorite. The action both in the bedroom…er….playroom and out leaves me a little breathless. So looking forward to reading more about Marcus before Cleo kills him!
Restrained is the fourth book and the exciting conclusion that will rip you open and put you back together again. This book is faster paced than the rest of the series. It is exactly how a conclusion should be…except that there are a few characters that go MIA so does that mean there will be more?!? As far as Cleo and Marcus’ story they truly have “The best of both worlds”. This story was worth every penny spent and every tear shed.
I highly recommend this series!
“Call me a coward or any other derogative word you like. I won’t put up a protest. Until you have been through what I’ve been through, you can’t judge my actions.”

Beneath: Two Book Boxset by Shandi Boyes is a beautiful gift to all of her readers – you get both books in one go and do not need to come up for air when drowning in this smashing contemporary romance. I have read quite a few books by Shandi Boyes and though you can read these two books as standalones, they are actually in some ways part of the bigger series (Enigma). I am sure once you finish these two, you will feel compelled to go looking for more! Beneath is the story of Hugo and Ava. They are meant for each other but of course nothing is that simple when it comes to life! It is a story about love, family; friendships that go beyond the mundane, sacrifice, guilt … you just name it! Hugo is battling demons and at times they win, Ava has her own baggage that brings along its own challenges … nothing is straight forward here! There are 5 YEARS between the first and second book!!! After these five years Hugo returns to face the music, to try to make amends and pray that Ava’s heart is big enough to give him another chance … I cried and I laughed and mostly I cried … The story will take you hostage, play with your emotions and at times you are not sure where is up and where is down, it is such a rollercoaster, such emotions … and it is not just women who feel here, it is also those strong alpha males! I could not put the story down … Do yourself a favor and read it! You will not regret it!

The Perception of Reality – Dual Boxset: Tragic Rockstar Romance by Shandi Boyes
5 Stars
I think there should be another star rating for books and authors that simply move past the 5 and put them in a class all of their own, Shandi Boyes is one of these authors (even if I may or may not have called her evil, and other horrendous names while reading these books).
Do yourself a favor and first off, do not read these books out of order, second…You will need tissues, or heavy cotton towels or old tshirts or something because massive ugly crying will be involved.
I’ll be on google today looking for words that might come close to describing some of the feelings and emotions I had while reading this series. I’m convinced I felt things that don’t have official words to adequately describe them. This author is so freaking amazing, she has a talent with putting words together to form an impossible story and this talent is unmatched in my opinion. I have never in all my years of reading cried so hard while reading 2 books back to back.
Without going into too much detail I will say that this, the first part of Emily and Noah’s story was amazing, the flow of this story was awesome because it didn’t stay put if that makes sense. It moves along quickly and smoothly yet allows these two to form a bond like no other, and you actually feel it strengthening as you read. Noah’s history makes it hard to form any kind of relationship and my heart broke for him. Emily had been done wrong in her past and this still haunts her daily. When these two meet you can truly feel the connection and I loved that. Emily is going to school to fulfill her dreams of becoming a teacher, and Noah is the lead singer of his band Rise Up and we get to watch when his band gets their big break. As time moves forward it becomes harder and harder for Noah and Emily to find the time to spend together, yet their love and commitment to each other never wavers.
The second part of their story…There are no words….
If you are reading this hoping I will go into some of the details of the rest of book 1 and then book 2 you might want to move on because I’m not saying one thing about what happened….You have to read this and get the full impact as I did. The twists and turns need to grab a hold and hang on just as they did while I was reading them. Noah and Emily’s story will stay with me forever, and when I finish every one of this authors books, something Im already close to doing I will look forward to reading them all over again!!
Read this series!! Holy book hangover batman!! Loved it!! Love Her!!

Enigma: The Mystery Unmasked Book 3 Author Shandi Boyes
Wow has this book had me on an emotional roller coaster. Isaac and Izzy are not only in a fight for her freedom on murder charges but they are also in for a fight of their life for their relationship. With the evidence against Izzy looking more like planted evidence Regan is now sure she can get Izzy off the murder charges but that will have to wait until it goes to court for the judge to decide. Until he judge makes his ruling there is nothing Isaac and Izzy can do but wait. However with the one single indiscretion Isaac has had since he and Izzy became a couple hanging over his head he is in a mess and everything is worthless to him if he doesn’t have Izzy in his life. The night that he was arrested and his home trashed by the FBI Isaac got himself drunk, He got Hugo to take him to his apartment forgetting Clara was there. When he awoke the next morning he was distressed to see Clara in the same bed as him. Being so drunk he could not remember if anything had happened between the both of them. His first rational thoughts were of Izzy even though she had spent the last few months seeing him while the FBI were investigating him and she was an FBI agent. When Clara spitefully tells Izzy that she and Isaac slept together, she decides to bring the matter up with Isaac, instead of listening to what he might have to say she storms out of their hotel room telling him it’s over. On a Sunday morning run with Hugo he begs Izzy to forgive Isaac telling her that love is worth fighting for. She however tells Hugo she feels it’s not worth the fight. Hugo says nothing is fixed by running and instead of listening to what he is saying she gets nasty with Hugo and throws the fact that he ran from his life to. Sensing that she hurt him she wishes she could take the words back. Hugo trying to get Izzy to forgive Isaac tells her that Isaac does love her but she’s not listening. She tells Hugo that she wants all of him not half as she feels half of him still belongs to Ophelia. Hugo the darling man tells her no one knows what would have happened with him and Ophelia had she not died. He also says just like her relationship with Isaac no one knows and that it could fizzle out in months. Izzy is being too stubborn to listen to what Hugo is saying and thinks what she is thinking is right for her. Just like Isaac every inch of her body aches for him, he has her heart and her soul but she is not willing to get over what may or may not have happened with Clara. Both Isaac can Izzy have caused each other pain, his pain when he found out she was a FBI agent and the Clara episode was her pain. She must now also think what she is going to do if she is let off the murder charges, as a few weeks ago before she was arrested she was going to live with Isaac and leave the FBI.
