Nite Fire: Flash Point by C. L. Schneider – Review by Carla Clemmons

Flash Point (Nite Fire, #1)Flash Point by C.L. Schneider
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is a great fantasy read that is fast paced from the start! I always enjoy a good shifter story and this one definitely keeps you interested. Dahlia is the strong character you root for to find that peace she seeks. I really enjoy the relationship between Dahlia and Creed. The descriptions in the story really help you see the different scenes in the story from the characters to the crime scenes. I am definitely reading book 2!

Unlikely to Fit ( Parker Lake ) by Olivia Sherwood – Review by Carla Clemmons

Unlikely to Fit (A Parker Lake Novel Book 2)Unlikely to Fit by Olivia Sherwood
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

How to describe this sweet romance? For starters meemaw is awesome and you will fall in love with her for sure! Breckin is so sweet and not in a bad way. I adore her character and her strength for all she’s been through. And then there’s Griff. Mmm Griff in my mind is close to every girls dream guy. The one who makes you feel safe and beautiful. With everything that they have both been through its not surprising they are not interested in starting anything. But who knows what can happen if there’s chemistry? Is chemistry enough when your heart is broken?

Caught in Midnight Shadows (Caught series, #4)Caught in Midnight Shadows by Sharleen Scott
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I was not expecting to fall in love with this book and it’s characters! Brant is such a strong loving man with a soft heart. Aubrey is a strong independent woman who doesn’t realize how much her and Brant really need each other! The plot made me not want to put this book down. I wanted to know where the story was going and if Aubrey would see what a great man Brant is. The needing to know who the stalker was kept me guessing and wanting more. This is one of those books you want to finish but don’t really want the story to end. I will definitely be going back and reading the first 3!

A Sweet Christmas: A Sweet Confections Novella by Nicole Richards – Review by Carla Clemmons

A Sweet ChristmasA Sweet Christmas by Nicole Richard
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This sweet romance read is like a Hallmark Christmas movie with a little spice! I love that there is no real drama in this story. Its refreshing to read a book that has no serious drama in it, mostly sweetness all the way through. I love reading from Thea’s point of view and her thought process on everything that happens. Nothing seemed too far fetched making the story realistic in my opinion. Not wanting to give anything away I enjoyed the surprise for the last chapter! I wouldn’t mind reading more about Jules! Maybe a second book is in the future!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Oh what a sweet romance! This story brought such joy to my heart. I absolutely love CC and Reese. In chapter 5 when Reese talks about the pond it reminded me so much of my husband and how he renewed my faith in love. This is one of the feel good reads you can’t help but enjoy! Its a great book to curl up with a chilly day with your favorite fuzzy blanket. Its even sweeter to read about hearts being repaired and trust being built! This truly is the perfect sweet romantic read! I did not want to put this book down!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I don’t normally read M/M romance but I love this author and paranormal romance. And I am so glad I did. The only thing I would want to change is more! Just me being greedy! This story is a really great quick read. I love how Errapel is so patient and understanding with Acheron. To do what Acheron does takes a strong heart, but will it be strong enough to fight?

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is a great dystopian read! You don’t have to read book 1 but I highly recommend you do! This book follows Derek and Julia a few months after he carries her out of the prison she was being held in. He’s drawn to her and only wants to protect her. She’s known so much pain and suffered so much betrayal. There’s so much they need to focus on besides what’s budding between them. Can they work through all Julia’s pain and still fight against the UNR? I am not so patiently waiting for book 3 to come out!

Oh my sweet romance! I fell in love with this book from the start. I read it in one sitting it was so good! Liberty and Sawyer are such great characters and I adore their compassion. I love how the conversations flow so well in this book. From the family get togethers to the intimate conversations it’s as if the author experienced them herself. I didn’t even realize this was book 4 in a series and will definitely be reading all of the others! I’m a huge fan of Christmas romances and this one did not disappoint!

Such an adventurous sweet read! I love Zoe and how she’s not your damsel in distress. Her magic is such an interesting concept to me. I am also partial to YA fantasy books!

I can’t wait to read book 2 to see where the story leads!

Wow just wow! This book was amazing and is a real page turner! I drank a cup of coffee at 9 at night just to keep reading to see what happened next. This story is so intense and the writing is on point. Shelby is amazing and has such amazing resilience. Honestly I love all the Cooper’s. I don’t want to give any spoilers but I will say this story will keep you guessing and when you think you have it figured out, think again. I’ve read one other book by this author and will be reading all the others she has written! I cannot speak highly enough about this author or book!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Born to Fight is such a great read! It was fast paced and full of action and steamy love scenes! Hunter is a soldier and that’s all he’s ever known is to fight. Rain has been alone for 2 years and is happy to stay that way. Then something happens and their worlds collide! With secrets and war all around them things get heated. Then when secrets emerge things fall apart. I highly recommend this series and am so excited for book 2 to come out!

What a great read by Seelie Kay! I really enjoy the way she writes! Her books are always easy to follow and keep you wanting more. Donovan is a super likable character! He’s handsome, successful and a gentleman! So why would someone want him dead? Even though it may better to keep his secret if he could die. After 2 attempts something has to be done. Trying to find the person responsible is like looking for a needle in a haystack! I have already started book 2!

How is it possible book 2 kept me on the edge of my seat just as much if not more than book 1! You don’t have to read book 1 first but I highly recommend it to get a better background. I still really like Donovan’s character and really take a liking to Marilyn. This story took a few turns I was not expecting. I was so eager to read book 2 I started it and finished it in the same day! I had to know what happened with the Vampire Coalition. I will definitely be looking at more of Seelie Kay’s books!

Wow! This story grabbed me from the beginning. It also really hit home for me. The realness and raw emotion in this book is amazing. I can’t tell tell you how many times I clasped my hand over my mouth and cried while reading this book. The love and thoughts that go through Tara’s mind are very relatable and so real. Reading about Branson gives such an understanding about mental illness that most people never see. I so recommend this book! I cannot wait to read the next one and will devour all books by this author!

This is the first series I have read in a long time! It is now one of my favorites! I cannot say enough good things about Naomi Valkyrie and her writing style. I so love all of the characters in this series and could never choose just one! I really loved reading about Jezebel and Hadassah though. This story shows why it is always good to look at something from someone else’s perspective. You never know what someone has seen or been through in their life. I have to say book five and book one are my favourites! I’m definitely adding more of her books to my library!

This is a very intense psychological thriller! You are kept on your toes until the very end. I definitely did not expect what played out and actually gasped at the end! The characters in this book are ones you hurt for and get angry at all at the same time. At times you may even be disgusted by some of them. This book definitely takes you down a dark path with some great plot twist!
