Kingdom of War (Kingdom Journals Book 4)
by Tricia Copeland

This was a great read. The author did an exceptional job bringing me into a world full of action, fantasy, danger, and so much more. This is the first book I have read in this series and I was able to follow easily. Now that I have read this one I am absolutely going to go back and read the previous books in this series. This book had me hooked from the start and I couldn’t put it down till I got to the end. I liked Hunter’s character and it was intriguing to watch him struggle with the power inside and what he believes to be evil inside him trying to take over. I really enjoyed the relationship between the characters and their banter with each other. I highly recommend this book you will not be disappointed.

Children Of The Future

This is a short, mysterious, wonderful read. The author kept me guessing what could have possibly happened to the teachers and kids all the way up till the end. There is a good message in this book and I found it to be well delivered for all ages. I liked how concerned Telly was and how involved he got in the search and the fact that he took Billy with him and let him be a big part of the search. This was definitely a unique and interesting read that I thoroughly enjoyed. I highly recommend this book.

RETURN (Rewind Book 2)
by Rowan Shaw

This is the second book in this series but it can be read as a standalone but I would suggest reading the first one because it’s awesome and also because it’s where we first met Raphael. I am so glad that this book is just as good as the first. There is a lot of raw emotion in this story. I was completely drawn into the story needing to know where the relationship was going to go between Adrian and Raphael, and I also really felt connected as I found out more about each character. I couldn’t help but want everything to work out for each of them whether they end up together or not. The chemistry and attraction between these two was evident from the beginning. There are some intimate romantic scenes in this story and I found that they were done tastefully without losing any of the heat that comes with these scenes. I loved reading this story I highly recommend it and I cannot wait to read the next one.

I found myself smiling and at times actually laughing out loud. I enjoyed this fun, romantic shapeshifter story with all it’s different characters. Considering what Jack does for his clan I’m glad that his character is kind and fun loving especially when it came to Louisa. There is also an element of mystery in this story that kept me captivated. We meet a variety of characters in this book and I thought it made it that much better. The author made this book easy to read and kept me entertained. I recommend this book, and I can’t wait to read the next one.

Never Let Me Go (Bayou Devils MC Book 6)
by A.M. Myers

This book is a must read. Juliette and Sawyer had chemistry from the beginning. Juliette is a very strong, intelligent and witty woman that I loved. Sawyer is a very protective kind of man with a heart of gold, whom I also loved. There were times when I was at the edge of my seat anticipating what was gonna happen. I enjoyed the banter between these two characters and the romantic moments were heartwarming. There are definitely some obstacles for these two, and not just the memory loss. You need to read it to find out if these two can work through those obstacles. This is the sixth book in this series and can be read as a standalone but I think you should read the entire series because you get to know some of the other guys and their story and also because they are all wonderful stories. I can’t wait to read what’s next. I highly recommend this book.

Another wonderful, suspenseful read by this talented author. As soon as I started reading this story I couldn’t put it down, I found myself turning pages quickly to find out what was going to happen next. I really liked the fact that both Mike and Madeline had their own case to work on this time but I also feel torn because I think they are better together. I have really become invested in these two characters and love reading about mysteries they solve and the trouble they find themselves in along the way. I highly recommend this book.

I couldn’t put this book down as soon as I started reading it. I was on the edge of my seat a few times while reading this story. I have come to expect great things from this author and I’m glad I have not been disappointed, this series so far has been awesome. Getting to know more of the characters from the club and their story is wonderful. I find myself anticipating the next book I’m going to read because I can’t wait to find out who I get to know next and what kind of trouble they might find themselves in and hopefully at the same time find some love along with it.

This book is definitely an action packed, suspenseful all around great read. This book can be read as a standalone but it is my opinion that you read them all in order. St. Augustina is a character that I couldn’t get enough of. She’s tough, smart and savvy. This book took me where I never expected to go, you will have to read it to find out what I mean by that. As soon as I started reading this story I was hooked, I was brought into a world that I couldn’t get out of till I reached the end. This was exceptionally well written and had plenty going on throughout the entire read, there was never a dull moment that’s for sure. There are also some really great secondary characters in this read. I can’t wait to read what’s next. I highly recommend this book.

I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book. Having read other books in this series I had high expectations and they were met with every turning page. You can read this story without having read other stories in this series, but it’s my advice to read the other books because they are exceptional. The author does an amazing job bringing you into the story with vivid detail. This story take us on a journey with Leda when she travels to America for a year and we experience obstacles that come with being an immigrant. There were things that I probably would have never thought of being a challenge had I not read this story, it definitely gave me a better understanding and new perspective that I wouldn’t have otherwise known since I haven’t traveled away from this country at any length. I loved that I got so have small moments with some of the characters from the other books and also meeting new ones. I highly recommend this book and this author.

I wasn’t sure what to expect going into this story, but I am so glad I gave it a chance. This story drew me in from the beginning and kept me turning pages. I absolutely loved the characters Chloe and Locke, they are both strong and independent people in their own ways. They each have their own reasons why they don’t do relationships, but as your reading you just know that these two belong together. The author did an excellent job making me feel like I was there and getting me invested in these characters. There are also very interesting and wonderful other characters in this story that I would love to get to know better. This book has different aspects to it besides romance and I enjoyed every minute of reading it. I highly recommend this book and I will definitely be reading more books by this author.

I was so excited when I found out that book 3 in this series came out. I read the first two books in this series and loved them, it is also my suggestion that you read these books in order so that you have more back story to all the characters that return in each book. In this story we get to meet Kitty who is a young woman who left behind her children and second husband. This story is funny, quirky, steamy and all of the wonderful attributes that the other stories had as well. This is a short read full of wonderful characters, emotion, and I found it to be very entertaining and it pulled me right in from the start. I highly recommend this book.
