I love this book! Not only is there steamy romance there is murder and mystery. I thoroughly enjoyed watching Donovan and Shirley try to figure out who is out to kill them. I liked the twist on vampire history, it is not your standard, vampires drink blood, there is science involved that has helped vampires evolve and I found that intriguing. The ending was left open, and I can’t wait to get to the next book to see what becomes of the high society matron and to see how Donovan and Shirley’s lives progress. I am also hopeful that Donovan’s sister Marilyn has a better go in the next book.

I highly recommend these books and what better than to have them all at once in a set?
Book 2 Such a great book! The story was filled with steamy romance, drama and action making for an excellent read. 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 and kind of jealous she has such a great thing going for her with that. The chemistry between her and her new boss Archer is off the charts and I love them together. 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 loveable 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.
Book 3 A great follow up to Cold Bastard. In this book we meet Kai and Izzy. I was so hoping for their story and my dreams came true. This book is a nice mix of romance and suspense, so it will have you engrossed the whole way through. Kai’s father is a douche and Kai will stop at nothing to bring his father’s company down while also dealing with this 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. I do wish Kai and Izzy were not in so many compromising situations, or I could see them together quicker, but then we wouldn’t have a great story right? Second chance romance is one of my top favorite genres, so this book was perfect and everything I wanted for Izzy and Kai. I would recommend reading to find out if Izzy and Kai can make it through all of this drama. This book can be read as a standalone but I highly recommend you start from the beginning. This author never disappoints.
Book 4 5 stars! I love India Kells! This is the fourth book in the series and it could be read as a standalone but I would highly recommend reading the previous three, it is nice to be introduced to the brothers starting with the first book. I love how all of the brothers are half brothers and have formed bond so tight because of their one common goal, to take their father down. Liam and Catriona’s story had me hooked as much as the previous stories. The characters were nicely developed and the story was easy to follow and get lost in. I can totally understand Catriona’s choice to become a nun, but I can also see the strong attraction and pull she has to Liam, so of course I was rooting for her to ditch the sisterhood and get her man. Liam, I was happy to hear that he at least had some love growing up with his uncle, but being thrust into the world of his father, Jamison Finch, he knew nothing but violence and defiantly no love. Meeting Catriona I see him finding love in his life again, and he deserves it. This story has a lot of action, romance, drama, and suspense, it is the perfect combination. I really can’t wait to see what happens with the next brother Sam since that epilogue had me on the hook!
Book 5 I love that this series is not based solely on romance, but that there is action and drama. It sucks to see the brothers all still fighting their father, he is seriously deranged! My heart broke in the beginning to learn how Ellie and Sam were both feeling about life, but seriously awesome twist that Sam happens to call Ellie’s phone instead of his brothers and a bond forms between them. I liked watching Sam and Ellie dealing with and surviving in Jamison’s home and being basically held prisoner. The bond between the brothers, even though they haven’t known each other long is beautiful. Watching Ellie and Sam fight their inner demons and come together is sweet. At the end we get a glimpse of the next story which is involving Lazarus, fantastic name, and I have been most excited to read his story!
Book 6 Excellent ending to the Dark Sparrow series. I was happy to finally get to see what was going on with Lazarus and to see if he would get his own happily ever after. As with the first five books in the series, this author really has a way with getting you hooked. Sasha is such a strong and independent woman, and she seems like just the right type of woman that Lazarus would need by his side. The trauma she has to go through while being held captive and then fighting Jamison alongside everyone else makes her truly awesome to me. Lazarus, like all his brothers before, acts like Sasha needs protected and can’t defend herself, and I know it is all for fear of losing her, but we know she is a total baddie and could handle anything that is thrown at her. I wish the ending was a little more dramatic, but I was very satisfied especially with the epilogue.

I read this in one sitting, once I got started I couldn’t stop. Alyssa is awesome, she is caring, strong, independent, loyal and smart. All the girls under her look up to her and she is treated almost equal to Matron and the men of the town. When a death occurs and one of her girls, Rosie, gets accused, Alyssa will not stop trying to find out who the real killer is. At first I wasn’t a big fan of Rosie, when she first left I said good riddance, but she really just needs guidance, friends and love. Alyssa, seems to have two men vying for her attentions throughout the book, and honestly I would have been happy with her being with either one of them. As for the murderer, I did not see it coming. There were a couple of people I suspected but the one who is at fault, was very far down my list. I really enjoyed watching Alyssa, Mr. Kendrick, The doctor and all of the others uncovering clue after clue to find out who killed Bert Harper. I highly recommend this read!

WOW! I did not expect that ending and outcome! When I first read the description, I didn’t think I would be too interested, but I gave it a try and I am glad I did. I was hooked from the very beginning. I really like when an author’s writing can pull me in right away so I am not struggling keep my focus on the story. At first I was kind of confused about the shifting point of views, but quickly caught on to how the story was being laid out. The characters are all very easy to like and the issue with drugs and overdosing is a real problem in the world, so it is nice to see that being addressed here. Anne’s character is very strong, I can’t say I would be as strong as she is when dealing with addiction. She also has a team of friends who have her back and don’t want to see her in any pain or struggle. I highly recommend!

Such a cute story. I like that it showcases that Oliver wasn’t sad about being adopted, just like any kid who gets mad at their parents, they sometimes wish or imagine what life would have been like with someone else or somewhere else. I know I did the same when I was mad at my parents. The artwork is beautiful and all around a sweet adoption story.

This is not my first book by this author, and it won’t be my last, somehow I am always pulled right into these books. In this story we have Jim going on a journey of finding himself really, and the different people Jim meets along the way. The cast of characters are interesting but Janey and her father stuck out to me the most. The way Jim describes the scene with the two really broke my heart, but it was also sort of beautiful at the same time. Rachel also stood out to me, I like that Jim found his ending for now alongside Rachel. There were moments I found myself chuckling, such as the farting scene and just all around enjoying the journey along with Jim. I look forward to more from this brilliant author.

Great read. At first I didn’t feel the least bit sorry for Levi and how his life was going thus far. He made his own bed. I can understand losing someone you thought was the love of your life and the way he did could be heartbreaking but, some time has passed, move on, grow up. Kindle and Levi are great together, and I am really happy to see him thriving and bettering himself finally. My favorite part of the book is the character Claire, it blows my mind how much of a psycho and how full of herself she is, it had me cracking up a couple times because of the lunacy that is her.

The science that is taught and the little snippet at the end about water is wonderful. I like that we can teach kids these things even at a younger age than they would normally learn them. The artwork is beautiful and the story of making holes in the ice cubes to make a necklace for Trezzie the mermaid is fun. I know as a child I always wished there were mermaids.
What an excellent, entertaining and imaginative book! I loved it! The story is so cute, aliens invading the library and Sophia and her brother Aiden helping the school’s librarian, Mrs. Booker, stop aliens from taking over. I like that the book encourages reading and showcases Aiden as having asthma. It goes to show kids that any child, no matter what they’re dealing with in their life can do anything! I can’t wait to pass this book along to my nephews.

Obsessed with this story! This book had all the elements in my opinion that make up a great paranormal read. There is steamy romance, drama, action, and what I’m calling horror. I was so happy to see Angelina getting to finally meet the men from her dreams, and how in love they all become with each other. Sal and Luca seem like the hybrid vampire/angels we would all be looking for in a mate. Then we have the menace that is Viktor, I wish he was destroyed in the very beginning, but then that wouldn’t leave us much of a story. He is a nasty creature, and the way he destroys everything and everyone to get to Angelina is so heartbreaking, especially when it comes to her best friend Cassie and her boyfriend Jake. This book left me happy, then excited, then devastated, and then back to happy again all in the span of a couple of hours. I could not put this book down, and it was so different to any other paranormal vampire romance. I really look forward to reading more from this author and can’t wait to see what comes next.

An excellent collection from a multitude of great authors. So many different styles of writing, different takes on paranormal romance and a whole lot of fun. With Witch switch, I found this story to be a steamy, drama filled quick read! Rafe being stuck with Meredith, seems like the worst fate for him. His love for Cheyenne though, gives him all the courage he needs to go against his parents and what is expected of him to be with her. At first I thought Cheyenne was going to be a weak damsel in distress type, but she proved me wrong when it came down to fighting for her family and the man she loved. There is drama, steamy romance and magic all packed into a short story! I look forward to Reading about Justina, Cheyenne’s sister. I am also hoping we get to see what becomes of the nasty witch Meredith.

This is the second book I have read by this author, and the second story I have read with Caspian. I really love the art work and the story line. Caspian’s grandfather has all of these magical items that are given to Caspian on his unbirthdays and he gets the joy of learning in this book, what the hat and stone do for him. This is such a great story to get the imagination flowing in kids.

WOW! I’m speechless, at first I couldn’t really get into the story but not long into the book I was hooked and invested. LUKAS! I did not see that coming from him, and I couldn’t read fast enough to see what would become of Rowena and Vincenzo. The ending had me a little upset, of course it’s only because it wasn’t the ending I wanted, but it was perfect anyways. I feel like there could be and might be more of an adventure for Rowena to come and I look forward to seeing if this author will expand more. This is not your average vampire story, and that is what makes it all the more perfect. While there was so much evil against them to take over the position of emperor with no good intentions, Rowena, Vincenzo and their friends were looking to make their world peaceful, equal and kind. Definite recommendation!

I really enjoyed this book, the characters Gage, Juliet and Ten meshed so well together. I was a little disappointed with how the relationship turned out with all three of them, I felt that the way they were written together the relationship would have been solid. Gage and Ten had a beautiful connection in my eyes, Ten and Juliet were not as connected but since they started out with a solid friendship and attraction it was good, and of course Gage and Juliet were off the charts with the chemistry. In the wake of the danger they are trying to overcome, trying to get Juliet and Ten off of Mirkle’s radar, things heat up between all of them. I am happy that Gage is finding what will make him happy and satisfied for the rest of his life, but I kind of wish there was news of Ten in the end. The epilogue had me smiling, epilogues are the best.

Wow! Great story, this one had my emotions all over the place. At multiple different times I was either mad at Zenni or Colton. Colton is a real tool in the beginning and I can’t see how Zenni can stand talking to him for more than 5 minutes. Colton wants to tear down the plantation and Zenni wants to keep it up. I was back and forth between both sides fighting along with them. Their romance was steamy and sweet and it was a nice short read that really reminded me of our terrible past. I love that Zenni was so protective of her family’s history and wish more people were like that now days. I love this author and her take on BWWM romance and look forward to reading more!
What a nice book! The artwork is beautiful and the story is sweet and interesting. I feel like this book would help any kid with their imagination, because it would be so cool to have a pencil that kind of predicted your adventure for the day. The trading scenes were super cute, I think most kids would trade bananas for a worm! Easy and great read for kids, looking forward to sharing it with my nephews.
Very fun murder mystery. I kept thinking I knew who did it, but I was always proved wrong. Ruby seems like a sweet and talented woman, I am so glad she found a good friend in Nova and Sunshine. It seemed that she couldn’t catch a break with her being a witness to 2 dead bodies, and having a hard time making friends, but in this book she really blossomed from beginning to end. The story is easy to follow along with, and it was very unique and genius to me, how the characters were related and the way Ruby and Nova solve the murder without the cops. Watching them go out of their way to find their own evidence and sift through all the details is a treat to watch. The ending wrapped up nicely and I hope to see more of Rudy. This book can be read as a standalone, but I would recommend reading the prequel first, it would have been nice if I had known how Ruby met Sunshine and where she comes in. I can’t wait to see what comes next.
I was really into this book. Do I want to live on a weird alien planet with super attractive men? Yes I do. Do I care if they are green? Not at all. Vanessa and Arkon are good together, she had ended a terrible marriage, and he has trust issues with women after his last girlfriend. They are both complete opposites which makes them perfect together. I was happy to see how Arkon was willing to show Vanessa his love and patience for her, and that he would in no way be like her ex husband. Vanessa is tough, after what she went through she learned to be a fighter and when the squirmurs come she readily takes up a gun and fights. This planet is fun and I really look forward to the next book. I also really liked in the beginning, the picture of the universe and where the different planets are laid out.

PERFECT! I loved this so much!! Jason and Lilly are beautiful together, I like how Jason doesn’t care what her station in life is, he loves her and only her. There was so much happening here that made this book so interesting and hard to put down. Prince Jason’s best friend Dean, I love how loyal and protective he is, but I’m a little pissed at his feelings towards Amara, it seems like there may be something there, Jason’s sister, and who her mate is, the relationship between King Huntington and his wife, and then just King Huntington alone. He is a real piece of work, I am so mad at how he treats everyone around him especially his own flesh and blood. I look forward to his demise. This book was so interesting, a really fun take on werewolf romance. I NEED the next book now!

Great story. I was immediately hooked. Clover couldn’t seem to catch a break, it was just one thing after the next for her. The police, her grandma, her boyfriend she thought was cheating. Meeting Shamrock and finally thinking things would be different. Throw in some misunderstandings and a very long past of hook up after hook up, it didn’t look like Shamrock was ever going to find what he was looking for. This is such a sweet and super cute short story, definitely read if you want a little pick me up.
I love and hate Stella. My feelings went back and forth a couple of times throughout this short and steamy read, sometimes Stella annoyed me so much and other times I found myself on her side. At her age, being single and an adult I don’t see any problem with having fun, but it seemed like she just didn’t care. When she finally feels like she might settle down with one man it gets blown up. My heart broke for him and I was so mad at her for how she handled everything. In the end it seems like Doyle and Glazier are only willing to be with her out of obligation and Alex seems to really be in love with her. I need to know what happens with this mess!!! I can’t wait for the next book!

A fun mystery murder book! I really enjoyed following along on this adventure to find out who stole the jewelry from the Barricks and who killed JD’s cousin Betty. JD or Jenny, decides to help out her Dad’s PI business by taking on a case while he is in recovery for alcoholism, at first I honestly was thinking why did she get involved, there may not have been any deaths had she stayed out of it. But when it came down to it in the end, she made me think differently, if no-one had stolen the jewelry there wouldn’t have been any deaths either! Mrs. Forsythe, she’s a piece of work and her brother George seemed a little unstable if what his sister was saying about him was correct, that he wanted the love of Mrs. Barrick not to blackmail her. In the epilogue it seems we have another juicy but devastating mystery coming and I look forward to the next book!

Pierson Case Files) by C.H. Sessums – Review by Carrie Reed
I really enjoyed this sweet book. It really made me want to reevaluate my relationship with God and learn to trust him with any and all of my life decisions. I felt like Juliet was slightly annoying, I felt like she was more pressuring Jake at one point early on in the book, to accept God, but then realized that he had no problem with religion, it was his broken heart holding him back. I appreciate how courageous, independent and willful Juliet was, she left her home, her friends, her job and all she knew to follow God’s calling to stay in this town to help. The ending had me smiling and I was overjoyed with the epilogue. I can’t wait to check out more by this author.

Interesting read. I will be honest, I did not read the first book, I feel like there were holes that would have been filled had I read the first book, so I definitely recommend reading them in order. I really enjoyed the first part of the book the most. Reading of the life of Small Brother and the tribe. I was devastated with the way the Shaman reacted and handled things, I was fully invested in Small Brother’s life and was excited to see him bond and live with the tribe and Old Father. Reading of Stalker was interesting but not as exciting for me as the first and 4th parts. I was happy to learn that Tristan was able to see Harry again after so long but, Elena was getting on my nerves with not being readily accepting of him. Who wouldn’t want to talk to bugs?
Wonderful! This was an excellent fairytale style story, something I haven’t read before. If I were Cathal it would be hard to forgive my grandmother for the suffering growing up, but Cathal is an amazing human and could understand her reasons and still loved her and cherished her. I love Cathal and Eala as a couple, they are super sweet, kind, caring and just all around great people or magical creatures and deserve every bit of happiness, especially with how they have both lived thus far. Eala enslaved to the king for years and Cathal always getting punished in place of his evil brother. The way the story flowed so nicely and everything came together in the end, it truly read like a fairytale. I highly recommend for any romance and fairytale lover.

What a cute book! This story is perfect, it makes me feel like I’m living in a small town in a hallmark movie. All the elements in this book were excellent, and nicely thought out, the banter between the radio hosts, Tom and Jenny, and the growing attraction and romance between Lara and Graham. The age difference between Lara and Graham was sweet, I hated the waiting game with them but understood her parents point of view. Their love was a little bit spicy with a whole lot of sweet. I really enjoyed how each chapter opened up with the radio hosts setting the scene and the fact that there are dessert recipes throughout, I can’t wait to try them out. A perfect and quick read, definitely recommend!

King – Review by Carrie Reed
Well this was fun. With my attention span I did get lost a couple of times but I easily caught back up. I really enjoyed reading of Matt and Rashella out to save the world again, and to rescue their mentors, it just sucked seeing Matt have to leave his partner Julia and their young daughter Rachael. Little Rachael seems like a sweetie! I love that the author gave her the powers she has, I literally wish I had those same powers! Did not care for Sebastian, I hate that he had the power he did, it seems like he could destroy all the worlds if he wanted to with his suggestions. The whole book was one rollercoaster through the different worlds and meeting all kinds of different players. The adventure, action and journey of it all came together nicely in the end. I wouldn’t read this as a standalone so that you can get background on most of the characters and to figure out what has happened before. I would really like to see a story with Matt, Julia, Rachael, Rashella, Dan etc. but older with Rachael grown up and using her powers to help her dad. I really want to praise this author, the work, detail and complexity of this book and the whole series so far really blows my mind, and the talent it takes to make it all work and flow together is truly amazing, it definitely made for a very enjoyable read.

Wow! What a wild world, Turaset. I was so invested in Celeste’s life and world. It’s the same old thing we hear all the time, the grass is not always greener on the other side. I can understand Celeste feeling suffocated living in the countryside, she dreams of more, and I was pleased to see her get the opportunity to live in the city. It was exciting to see her find her way, meet Enzo, form a friendship with Nora and gain the knowledge she always wanted to bring back to her home. Enzo, he’s a mess, I had my fingers crossed constantly that Celeste would stop being naive and get rid of him. In the end I think she made a good decision on what she wanted to do with her life and how she wanted to be and I really hope we get to see more of Nora and Celeste and her family. This world, the things that happen and the creatures all make for an interesting read, I highly recommend!

Tavormina – Review by Carrie Reed
Great read, I was so hooked on this story! The way Mercy grew up and lived is very sad, I kept hoping things would get better for her, and hoping something would change and her friend Sherry would snap out of it. Mercy overcomes so much, all the pain from her past, the way the town picks on her and makes her an outcast, the way La Llorona keeps messing with her to remind her she is still there. Watching her preserve and make a life and a name for herself that she can be proud of is beautiful. I was heartbroken that her and Sherry could never be what they once were, but happy she was finally able to see it was not her fault, and that she could finally move on. Meeting Santos helped push her further into a life without thinking constantly of La Llorona and a life free from weeping. Excellent book, I would highly recommend.

I seriously love this author!! Loved this story!! I wish it was longer, it was so excellent. This author is so creative, bringing in the elements of romance and paranormal with some drama thrown in, and let’s not forget the bits of humor sprinkled in. The book did not seem rushed at all, everything flowed nicely. Lockwood and Rex are the cutest together, I did feel the hurt when Lockwood was deceived after all he was going through, but sweet Rex came in and made everything clear. Brixley is a good best friend and seems like a fun time, I would really like to see a book on her and Xyris! I love an epilogue and this one was sweet and perfect for and ending to Rex and Lockwood’s story. Does this book make me want to get an octopus tattoo… maybe!!
