4 stars The story was engaging and easy to get drawn into. I liked the characters but felt that both Eva and Kingsley were super obnoxious at times. It was annoying that Kingsley would never come out and just say what he was to Eva, leaving her guessing at everything in their relationship. Eva is a strong woman but I can understand her hesitance to get too involved with Kingsley, being brokenhearted before, and not understanding anything that was going on between them. I was expecting something to happen with Kingsley’s friend Hazel, but was surprised to see it was Eva’s “friend” Crimson who started all the drama. Overall it was a great romance between the two main characters and again, a great story line.
I would really be interested to see a story about Marianna and Claire, Eva’s witch friends, and maybe even Kingsley’s brother.
Beautiful book, sweet, sexy, painful and heartbreaking all in one. The characters and storyline are perfect. I love stories about falling in love with brother’s best friend, and this one was great because of all the background issues. My heart ached for Sam and Sadie in regards to their grandmother. I can’t decide who I felt more loss for, Sam, with the way he and his life spiraled out of control or Sadie, who seemed conflicted due to her brother’s actions and words as well as dealing with her relationship and feelings for Archer. Archer was a total prince, in that he was always there for Sadie, and always wanted to be around her to help her with anything. I could see how much love he had for her. The ending was rough, it left me hoping for a second book, maybe to see how Sam changes his life. I was thinking maybe he may end up getting involved with Sadie’s friend Rory, but being introduced to Archer’s cousin Lyssa at the end gets me wondering if maybe her and Sam…. I would highly recommend this book.

4 Stars Nice short read, although I think this could have been longer and made into a novel, I see this story could have really taken off but I am pleased with what I got. I was sad for Dragomir having to deal with his PTSD and curse and all the rage he had built up inside. Meeting Ida I think saves his life. She is a feisty one, I like her style. She helps Dragomir with all his anger and by having him be submissive, and to his surprise it works. Again, sadly it is a shorter story, but definitely worth the read, I would recommend giving this book a try.

Jane Suen has a unique writing style that always pulls me deep into her books. I really enjoyed this trilogy and I liked the way the different struggles were written in, such as, dealing with grief, loss and second chances at love. Reading through Connor and Mary Ann’s story is frustrating, heartbreaking and beautiful and I would highly recommend this great set of books.

Love love love werewolf romance and this one met all my expectations. This story was not your typical werewolf story line, in that only the men were werewolves. There is romance, some drama and little heartbreak, and cane together quite nicely. Mason and Rylie are wonderful together and the development of their relationship is fun to watch. I really liked how it again, wasn’t your standard werewolf novel and Mason had a child that Rylie came to love. I wish there was more drama around Mason’s ex Cat or even Rylie’s co-worker Pete but overall still a book worth reading. I can’t wait to read the next book which is hopefully about Mason’s brother Miles and Rylie’s best friend Alexis! 10 out of 10 would recommend this book!

Scoring Chance: A Mile High Miners Novella by Lane Martin 5 stars!
What a beautiful story! Sports themed romances are always a hit. Rhett and Eden both have their own issues they are going through and pasts they are dealing with. Eden is a strong woman although she thinks otherwise and will never bring herself to ask for help. Because of her past is wary to trust or get involved with anyone, until Rhett breaks down all her walls. Rhett is a wonderful man and although he has his own demons, he will not give up on making Eden his. He is very patient with her and loving, so I fell for him right away.
The secondary characters in Eden’s life such as Robin, Adelaide and Cassie, help shape Eden into the woman she is today and help her in opening up and depending more on others. The work they are doing for other kids in the system like Eden and Adelaide is so meaningful and made the story that much more beautiful. I can’t wait to read about the next couple in the series!

Great book by Thia Finn. I really enjoyed the aspect of the characters being in a band. It always makes for a fun read, with some twists and turns because of the lifestyle those characters lead. Alex being the lead guitarist in the band Trace has all of the temptations of someone in the spotlight and famous, so how he would remember one girl, one kiss, one night after a show is beyond me. Emmy, bless her heart, thinks after her first kiss, and with a rock star, she is in love makes me cringe. When they meet years later and he doesn’t remember her, of course my heart breaks for her, but I also am thinking how naive she is and is pleased to see her grow into a stronger woman. The storyline is wonderful. I loved following along with Emmy and Alex to see where their story would end, if it would end with them together or just in heartbreak and mess. The secondary characters were awesome. Adam, Alex’s brother and Rylee, Emmy’s best friend are nicely written in, and wouldn’t mind seeing a story about each of them. Overall would 10 out of 10 recommend this book, it is filled with drama, romance and music making for a wild journey.

This is a fantastic set of books. I can’t sing enough praises to Rowan Shaw for this excellent set of stories. The characters in each book are all so wonderful and I am immediately drawn into knowing more about each relationship. The trials the characters had to face are very real in the gay community and are explained and handled so nicely. It makes my heart hurt for anyone facing these situations knowing that their end may not be had happy as that in these books but I am extremely pleased with how everything comes to a close. I hope, pray and wish for more books like this from Rowan Shaw, re reading the series won’t be enough for me!

Such a sweet, sexy, and drama filled story! I really enjoyed reading the drama that came along with Jax, his new found daughter Lola and his ex Darcy. I was nervous that Darcy was going to be and even bigger witch than she already was, and I was disappointed I didn’t get to see a real resolution to the character of Mitch. It seems like Jax and Arianna do this dance with each other around their feelings and level of attraction to each other until finally it happens. Then some hearts break, and I can fully understand why, but communication is always the best policy! The secondary characters that make up a part of the group Ari and Jax hang out with, were fun to read about and brought some comedy into the mix. I would definitely recommend giving this book a read!

Oh Rowan Shaw! Her writing is off the charts, and I have yet to read any book by her I don’t like or can’t get in to. Noah’s story is everything I hoped it would be and more. I wasn’t sure how I would feel about Noah being with a female after such a long relationship with his previous boyfriend because I was already in love with all the gay characters and their relationships. Rowan Shaw definitely changed my mind and I was very pleased and excited to watch Noah and his new polyamorous relationship. My heart was truly broken when his relationship of 10 years ended but he picked himself up and found his happiness. I really love when character from the other books cross over.
This book can be read as a stand-alone but it is 100 times better if you read the series in order. I can’t wait to see what she will bring us next!
This book is so cute! It has romance and drama, sweet moments and heartbreaking dialogue. The story of Zane and Shannon is beautiful. When Shannon meets Zane on a flight to San Francisco, I was wondering where and how this would lead them to being involved. The events leading up to them meeting again and their time spent together is all very intriguing to read and I had a feeling Shannon would be the woman to change Zane’s mind about serious relationships and move his heart. At one point I thought they were moving a little too quickly but given Zane’s age and the love he seemed to have for Shannon, I figured why not. Of course it can never be that easy and some heartbreak is involved, enough to make me question if this would ever work between them.
I would recommend this book to any romance lover, it’s a nice, quick read that I think will leave you satisfied. I really do hope there are more books to the series, more specifically centered around Shannon’s 3 brothers.

This book can be read as a stand alone but, I would recommend reading the complete series so that you can get some of the back story on what the other characters are referencing. I read this as a stand alone and yes I could keep up, and knew what was happening at all times but there was always that little niggle in my mind that made me want to know what they were talking about in some areas. It is definitely worth the read.
Beth is an awesome woman. Although she is actually shy, timid, and sometimes self conscious because of her height, she takes care of anything and everything by herself, she doesn’t feel the need to ask anyone for help. I thought I was going to hate Ink right away but he quickly proved that he was a good man, and good enough for Beth. He didn’t have too rough of a past that most bikers in these stories do, but their story alone made up for that fact. When all the drama around the drugs starts to unfold and Beth is caught up in it all, my heart started to break because it looked as though Satan’s Devils were going to abandon her and Ink could do nothing but be helpless. Then when her dad showed his true colors everything blew up and started happening so fast, but all the truths come out.
I would highly recommend this book, it is a perfect mixture of romance, bikers, drama, and action. I read this in one day and could not put it down. The secondary characters were all interesting as well, which will make we want to rewind and go back to their books. Now I can’t wait for the next book in the series and hope it is about Ink’s best friend Mace.

This is not my usual genre but sometimes I really just love a good sci-fi read. This 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. I would definitely recommend giving this book a read, I don’t think you would be disappointed in the slightest.

I have loved every book I have read by Jane Suen. They are not my usual genre but for some reason I get pulled right in. This was such a sweet book watching Mary Ann and Connor find their way back to each other. I enjoyed reading the character of Mary Ann, she is a strong yet because of a rough past with her stepdad she doesn’t trust very easily. Connor kind of irked me at some points, and I had trouble deciding if I really wanted Mary Ann to be with him again. I love a good second chance romance, so this story was great for me, and I would highly recommend this book, and every book by Jane Suen really. This book can be read as a standalone but I would recommend reading the others in the series.

Loved it! I love books revolving around motorcycle clubs, and this one did not disappoint me. Any book that can make my heart skip a beat is a good one by me!
I did not get to read the first series, so I came in blind, but I could easily get into the story and follow along. Bless Amy’s heart, I would be torn up too if I had seen the man I was in love with in a compromising situation. Now years later, I think she is brave and has mass courage to come back to the MC for Christmas, knowing she will most likely run into Wizard. You can tell these two belong together but so much is standing in their way it seems like they will never be able to get around it and finally move on. On top of that there is Amy’s secret, and club business, it seems like everyone is in for a mess of drama. I really enjoyed this book and will definitely be checking out the other books from this series.

The fourth book in the Spicetopia series is just like the others, nothing short of wonderful. In this installment we get to meet 2 new faces to the Spicetopia family, Micah and Natalie. This was the best story to me, out of the three previous books. I really enjoyed watching Micah and Natalie’s relationship slowly progress and witness the attraction between them as well as the drama that unfolds. This couple is definitely top two in my book, I still can’t let go of the couple that started it all, Cy and Jolie. I am completely in love with this series and it seems to get better and better with each book. I don’t mind if this series continues to grow, I will eagerly be awaiting for the next installment.
This series was remarkable. The storyline was perfect and the characters, very well developed. I love that the first 2 books are told from Taylor’s point of view and the 3rd book is from Hayze’s point of view. Having 2 different viewpoints always makes for a more interesting story. It’s also nice to see what each character is feeling in different moments. Hayze is a typical bad boy, he has a lot of baggage and tries to bury it all by sleeping around, drugs and alcohol, he just doesn’t care. Then he meets the one girl that makes life seem worth it and he starts to get scared that his secrets will all be revealed. He spends time lying to Taylor and hurting her many times, but everyone has their own problems to work through. It is very frustrating wanting Hayze to share his secrets with Taylor, I knew in my mind she would accept him through it all. These books are filled with so many ups and downs, addiction, obsession, lies, drama, it all came together for a perfect series. My heart ached so many times, but I love when a book can completely crush me. I could not put these books down and I highly recommend them to any romance lover.

Fire & Ice (Spicetopia Book 3) by Phoebe Alexander My rating: 5 out of 5 stars
What a great 3rd book to this series. Spicetopia is finally coming to life and things are getting more and more exciting.
In this story we meet Neve and Enya. This couple are complete night and day to each other, but I think the best relationships can come from such differences. The drama and suspense that accompany these 2 characters is, exciting, sometimes unexpected and takes you on a crazy ride. I was nervous at some point wondering if Neve would ever be able to open his heart to Enya, and on top of their budding relationship someone tries to sabotage the park which in turn puts forces both of them together to figure out this mess.
Enya is a delightful character, funny and strong, especially when faced with real danger, so her personality I feel matched very nicely with Neve, who was cold and unfriendly. I am very pleased with where this series is heading so far. These books can be read as stand alones but I would highly recommend the full series, you will not regret it.
Revive (Rewind Book 3) by Rowan Shaw My rating 5 out of 5 stars
To say I’m obsessed and completely in love with Rowan Shaw books is an understatement. Both of the first 2 books in the Rewind series as well as this one have completely blown me away. I love the characters, the story line, the drama, everything. I really appreciate getting to see characters from the previous books appear in this book, it is nice to remember their stories while reading about Brandon and Patrick
Oh Brandon and Patrick, great couple. The way they both meet at a club and then the next day find out they are client and therapist is so dramatic, and I love it! I was wondering how it would work out between them due to this relationship but I was in for a nice little journey. Patrick having a phobia against bi people is actually pretty easy to understand when we find out what he went through in his life to warrant this disdain. Brandon seems like such a sweetheart and then when we get to see what his past was like, it’s easy to understand him as well. Both men you can tell are in love with each other but take their time explaining things and putting their love out in the open for each other. I was very nervous about how this was going to end with the little twist at the end but I had a feeling it was going to end well and I was not disappointed.
Rowan Shaw is an amazing MM writer and I have thoroughly enjoyed all of the books in this series so far. I highly recommend these books and they can be read as stand alones but, I would recommend the full series because the characters overlap and its nice to have that background. Well done another fantastic book, I can’t wait to see what is in store next.
Ricochet by Kathryn Berla My rating 4 out of 4 stars
This sci fi fantasy is an interesting and confusing read. I did have fun with this book but with the stories all being from four different point of views, I did get lost faster. The mystery that surrounds Tati and her ancestry search opens up a confusing, exciting, mysterious and fun world. I really enjoyed how thought out the characters were and how they fit into the storyline. This story is nothing like I have read before so that, elevated this book so much more for me. The amount of detail, and thought that went into this book and the different stories really shows, and really impressed me. I would highly recommend this read!
Matt’s Swirly World: Children’s Book by Madeleine Matthews My rating 5 out of 5 stars
This is a sweet book and the pictures are wonderfully made. The lesson is this story is that we shouldn’t let our disappointments build up into anger. The mom teaches her son that anger and disappointment don’t last and helps her son find an easy way to help rid himself of the negative feelings. Great story, great lesson, perfect to teach children and I thought adding the story of the dragon and fairy were a perfect touch to show a similar situation to the kid.
Supernatural Love Stories in the Absurd: Four Book Collection by Gwyn McNamee writing as D.P. Payne My rating 4 out of 4 stars I completely enjoyed this set of stories! Supernatural books are one one of my favorite genres and this did not disappoint. I am thoroughly intrigued by the use of less common supernaturals such as the wending and a pharaoh, but surprised and pleased with how they worked into the story nicely. Cursed, the story of pharaoh Wyre was probably my favorite because I am always interested in ancient Egypt and mummies. I also really enjoyed Loched, because who would have thought the Lochness monster could turn into a hunky man? All four stories are equally as nice, all are very sexy and have a wonderful story behind each curse or legend. I would highly recommend this for any supernatural romance lover. Very nicely done!

Beneath the Fallen City (The Omni Towers Series Book 1) By Jamie A. Waters My rating 5 out of 5 stars
I love post-apocalyptic stories and this book definitely did not disappoint me. There is action, romance and drama, all tying together to make for an excellent read. The characters were very well developed and the story sucked me in right away. Kayla is one of our main characters. She is strong and independent and can stand on her own. She works as ruin rat, finding artifacts to trade. Carl is handsome, and works as a trader for Omni Lab, who acquires the artifacts requested from kayla. There is an immediate attraction between the two, but they also both despise each other because of their different backgrounds. Carl ends up wanting to recruit Kayla to be on his team and at the same time Kayla is being hunted. This book is again, so excellent and well worth the read. I do hope we get to see more of Veridian and read more of his story as well but either way I can’t wait to see what happens next!

A Dark Sparrow Box Set by India Kells My rating: 5 out of 5 stars
Such a great set of books. The story in each book is filled with steamy romance, drama and action making for an excellent read, and this is only the first 3 of the six brothers!
In these books Lazarus King recruits Beatrice, his friend and the woman in charge of sending people out on dangerous rescue missions. Lazarus’ mission? To save all his bastard brothers from their father, Jamieson Finch.
The first books is about Aleksei and Deva. Deva is such a strong woman. The way she pick up the pieces of her life after getting out of her father’s grip is admirable. When she chooses to help with wounded soldier’s rehab because of her brother, my heart melted, she is an amazing woman. When she meets Aleksei, it is no walk in the park. He pisses her off with almost everything he says but she still can’t deny the attraction they have.
The second book is about Zoe and Archer. I just love Zoe. She is such a strong, independent, beautiful woman yet she is fragile and slightly self conscious. I am super impressed with her skills as a translator. The chemistry between her and her new boss Archer is off the charts. My heart breaks for Zoe, as sometimes she feels like she is not good enough for a man like him and then other times I want to scream at them both to just communicate better! The drama that unfolds with Archer’s new business buy out and Zoe’s brother is super exciting and along with all the action, fighting and plotting, really gave the book that extra edge. The secondary characters are very lovable and just as interesting to get to know. I would highly recommend this book and I personally can not wait to read Kai and Izzy’s story.
The third book is Izzy and Kai. Kai’s father is a douche and Kai will stop at nothing to bring his father’s company down while also dealing with his feelings for Izzy. Izzy was brought in to help bring Kai’s father’s business down but at the same time her past secrets are revealed. Izzy is a strong woman, and her personality had me loving her from the very beginning.
These books can all be read as stand alones but they are MUCH better read in order, because they are all as equally amazing as the next one.

Virtue & Vice (Spicetopia Book 2) by Phoebe Alexander My Rating 5 out of 5 stars
This book is steamy, and a perfect follow up to the first book Sugar & Spice. The change in point of view was a surprise to me, but not an unwelcome one.
In this book we read from Moon & Katja’s point of view. Cy and Jolie met this couple while vacationing in Greece. Jolie jokes about making and adult theme park, Moon and Katja are kind of hesitant at first but jump on board. The couple has their own secrets and problems to sort out, and watching their friendship with Cy and Jolie while working on this new venture is beautiful. The steamy scenes are perfect, but not over the top, we still get so much story and its a perfect balance.
I would highly recommend this book, but I definitely suggest you read the first book, Sugar & Spice, not only is it worth the read, but it gives more story behind this book as well. Phoebe Alexander is an amazing author, I really can’t wait to see what she has in store next!
Sugar & Spice by Phoebe Alexander My rating: 5 out of 5 stars
This book was so sweet and also very spicy at the same time. The story line was perfect and the characters are very well written.
Cy and Jolie’s relationship happens pretty quickly, but I do think that Cy falls in love pretty hard and realizes the way he had been living his life until this point needed to change. Jolie is a strong, independent, beautiful, hard working and devoted mother. The fact that she is doing everything she can to make sure her kids have a good life and her youngest son has the medical help he needs is admirable. Jolie being the amazing person she is, rubs off on Cy, which causes the turn around in his outlook.
Cy’s family is a real piece of work! His father, mother and two brothers are extremely greedy, and the way they view the world and what the world owes to them had my mouth hanging open! Their characters were a great added element to this story.
I would highly recommend this book to any romance lover, the story is touching, beautiful and sexy. I can’t wait to see what becomes of Cy and Jolie in the next book!
Battling Beckett By T. Christensen My rating: 5 out of 5 stars!
This is such a wonderful book. The story line is great, and really pulled at my heart many times. The characters were very nicely written as well.
Beckett, of course I think is a real piece of work, and I dislike him through most of the beginning of the book. Greer, I immediately love her. She is strong and independent and is good at sticking up for herself.
When all of the gossip and trouble follow her around, Greer will let it roll off and try to ignore it the best she can, and that feat in itself is amazing enough, I know I couldn’t. When her and Beckett start to get close, I did become more excited for their relationship, but it seemed there were just a lot of misunderstandings on her part, and I can understand why and sympathized with her. When she is traumatized by something that happens at her school dance it may change her relationships for good.
The secondary characters such as Beckett’s dad David and Greer’s mom Vivian, as well as her best friend Lexi and new friend Pepper are an excellent addition to the story. I would really enjoy seeing a book on Pepper and Mark’s relationship and Lexi and Jason’s relationship. I would highly recommend this book, I had literal tears, anger, sadness, and joy many times throughout the book and it is well worth the read.

Not Fade Away: Interstellar Rescue Series Book 4 by Donna S. Frelick My rating: 4 out of 5 stars.
This is the 4th book in the Interstellar Rescue Series. Again, and again the books in this series keep getting better and better to me. This story is full of romance, action, suspense and danger, which all nicely fit together to make for a wonderful book.
Charlie is a compassionate and loving woman with a rough history in the love department. She is assigned to a man called Del with dementia, when she meets his son Rafe. She falls in love at first sight but will continuously push him away.
Rafe is a Interstellar Rescue agent and he brings his father to earth to get care as, they are being targeted by assassins. Rafe also falls in love with Charlie at first sight but, wants to stay away in order to protect their secrets. Charlie starts digging a little too deep into their lives and soon discovers what they have been hiding. When danger reaches them it is up to Rafe to protect his father and the woman he loves.
I am fully invested at this point with this series. Each book sucks me into the story every time. Each book can be read as a standalone but I would recommend the full series.

Rebel Jewel (The Jewel Chronicles Book 3) by Natalina Reis My rating 5 out of 5 stars
This is the 3rd book in The Jewel Chronicles series. I would recommend reading the first 2 books in the series first as it will give you all the details and information on characters that you need. It is totally worth reading all 3 books!!
In this installment we see Milenda with her husband Jaali readying themselves for a revolution. All they both wanted was to live a simple peaceful life, but duty calls and Milenda has to save her people.
Both Milenda and Jaali have been through a lot, and I wanted them to be able to relax as well. Milenda is an amazing and strong woman and it’s beautiful to watch her grow throughout the series. The fantasy land of Natale will really pull you in. It felt as though I was there myself observing and that is what I love the most in a book.
I would highly recommend this series and I cant stress enough that the best option is to read all 3 books!

Truck Stopped: Satan’s Devils MC #11 by Manda Mellett My rating 5 out of 5 stars
This is a wonderful final book to the Satan’s Devils MC series. I did not have the pleasure of reading the rest of the series but, I am 100% sure I will be going to read the rest of the series. The characters we meet in this book, have me super interested to read their stories. THis book can be read as a stand-alone but like I just mentioned it was so good that I would recommend reading the whole series.
Allie is a strong woman, the way she handles everything that life throws at her is amazing. Being a sweet butt she falls in love with then prospect, Truck. When Truck goes through a pretty physically and mentally damaging trauma, Allie takes on the roll of trying to be the one to pull him back to the club. The things he says to Allie throughout really hurt my heart but their romance ends up beautiful.
Truck, after his trauma, wants nothing to do with his old MC and doesn’t want to be around anybody. When Allie shows up he assumes it is just his President’s way of giving him some booty and hoping he will come back…. It works. He realizes he has stronger feelings for Allie than he originally thought.
When Allie is plagued with a life threatening condition, Truck becomes angry all the time and feels helpless to do anything for her. When they are separated from each other for a year my heart couldn’t handle it anymore and thought the worse would happen to them and their fresh relationship.
Again, this book is amazing, and I could go on and on about it but will just leave you with… READ IT!
