Climbing The Walls (Hart & Cole Book 1)Climbing The Walls by Sacha T. Y. Fortuné
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

“‘Climbing The Wall’ explores the fibres that hold a marriage together – love, trust, forgiveness… and of course, the earth-shattering sex that will not be denied.” Sacha T.Y. Fortune

Climbing the Walls by Sacha T.Y. Fortune is her debut book. This story is a woman’s fiction story which deals with marriage and self-awareness, and everything in between. Sacha T.Y. Fortune did an amazing job with her characters in the story. The emotional roller coaster that you ride from Ms. Fortune with the character of Nicole keeps you turning the pages to see what else Nicole will have to overcome. This is what kept me reading. You will have to read to see how Nicole deals with her life. Make sure you have Kleenex and adequate time to read in one sitting. I cannot wait to see what happens in the next chapter.

Mouse Trapped: Satan's Devils MC #9Mouse Trapped: Satan’s Devils MC #9 by Manda Mellett
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Mouse Trapped is the ninth book in the Satan’s Devils series. This is the second book I have read by this author and it was just as wonderful as the first. I love the detail she puts into the characters and story line. It makes the story feel real. Mouse Trapped, even though it is a romance, also deals with some heavy, real-life issues. Reading it, you will feel a wide range of emotions, I know I did. There were a few parts where I even teared up. There were times in the book that I wonder how in the world people can go through this kind of struggle EVERY DAY. It puts your thinking cap on for sure.

I enjoyed Mouse’s character. His cultural background gives him interesting dimension. The author has done a great job of showing the contrast of cultures when you are of mixed heritage, that feeling of not belonging to either world. I particularly loved the way that the more spiritual side of his Native American ancestry is woven in.

Overall, a superb read!

Eastern Shore Swingers Books 1-3 (Boxed Set)Eastern Shore Swingers Books 1-3 by Phoebe Alexander
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The Eastern Shore Swingers box set is made up of 3 really great books. Fisher Of Men, The Catch and Siren Call.
Each book is about people from a Swingers Group which at some point will end up opening a swingers club called the factory. Many of the same characters appear in each book.

You get a little of everything in this box set. There’s definitely lots of steam, lots of emotion and you even get a little suspense. You will definitely want to ass this box set to your library. Phoebe Alexander knocked it out of the park with these books. Loved each and every one of them.

Once Upon a Romance (A Dream Come True, #1)Once Upon a Romance by Alex Bailey
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Once upon a romance by Alex Bailey was a great feel good book. This is the first book Ive read by this author and was pleasantly surprised with how easy it was to read and how much I enjoyed it. Sophie grew up with an older sister and parents who were all obsessed with Disney World. Sophie never really understood why she didn’t enjoy going as much but it makes sense to her later in the book why.

Sophie should be visiting her boyfriend Darren’s family for Christmas this year until she finds out her niece Ariel asked Santa for one thing this year….to go to Disney. Ariel’s mom passed away a few months prior and it has been very rough on her. Sophie knows, she has to do what’s right and bring Ariel to WDW even if she has no desire to go. While in Disney she meets a man named Ray who also runs a Facebook page and is known as Professor Disney. Ray seems a little off to Sophie but, Ariel really enjoys his company so Sophie lets him tag along with them since he knows everything about Disney. Add a little pixie dist and a toothless Santa and anything can happen. How will Darren feel when he comes to Disney on Christmas Eve and finds out all about Ray.
I thought this was a well written book and it kept my attention.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Once Upon a Romance by Alex Bailey was just the little bit of “magic” I miss at Christmas time. I lived in Florida most of my life and a “Disney Christmas” was a favorite of mine for years; nobody does Christmas better than Disney. This book brought back so many amazing memories for me. This author was detailed in everything that you will see, that I felt like I was on the Magical Disney trip right alongside Sophie and Ariel. Everyone needs to experience the “Magic” of Disney once in their life no matter how old you are.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Isabella’s Painting is the first book I’ve read by Ellen Butler. This book had all the things I love: mystery, romance, the mob and a strong female. This book had me from the beginning and once I started reading, I really couldn’t stop. Karina is a lawyer/lobbyist in DC. Her boyfriend Patrick comes from a wealthy family. Spending time with his family leads Karina into something that she never saw coming! What can she do? How should she handle it? The way she handles it is brilliant! Such a great book! I cannot wait for the next Karina mystery!

Climbing The Walls (Hart & Cole Book 1)Climbing The Walls by Sacha T. Y. Fortuné
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Climbing the Walls by Sacha T.Y. Fortune a four-star read you will need to get over. This is the first novel in the Hart and Cole series and I ant wait for the rest. I think the best thing about this was showing us how hard married life can be, usually all you get to see in this type of book is the run up and then the wedding, all show and romance, not the day to day drudgery that we face in married life. Don’t get me wrong its not all doom and gloom, there is some good times as well and that’s what I liked about this, we see both sides of the relationship and how each decision affects people. That being said there is some love and passion that will burn your fingers, but there is a passion as well that you will love.

Isabella’a Painting
A Notorious Art Heist Mystery
Karina Cardinal Mystery
Book 1
By Ellen Butler
☆☆☆☆☆
Let’s just say this is an intense suspense novel. Filled with romance, trust issues, a 28 year old art heist and the mafia?

Karina Cardinal is a strong woman who knows what she wants, and what she does not. Trust for her is a must. When she sees something she should not. She steps up and runs right into danger. But does that stop her? Fighting with her mind, boyfriend and his father, things are about to get intense. Remember it’s not over until THE END!

Patrick Dunne is of money. He also has been hurt many times because of it. Hiding his fortune he is out to find his true love. But his trust issues get in the way. He loves Karina, and pushes her too far. Will he keep the girl?

Ellen Butler has done her homework with this story. Not only does she bring a true case into her story. She has history to back up her story. I love this story! She drew me in and suckered punch me half way through the story. Just as I thought I knew what happened, I was wrong. This book is a real page turner. I could not put it down. Job Well Done Ellen Butler!

Hope's Decree (The Fated #1)Hope’s Decree
By: Angela McPherson
My Rating: 3 of 5 stars

Hope’s Decree (The Fated #1) by Angela McPherson was a okay entertaining read, with an unique plot that keeps you reading.

I have to say, I got some mixed feels about this book. Being my first read by this author I went in as I always do with an open mind. The writing is good, the flow was nice, but there are some repeats. The best way to say this would be, like the same scene was done twice but at different locations. It made the story feel a like unfocused and choppy. I also has some trouble with the MC. She was very Mary-sue like, and not in a good way. Overpowered, non-flawed characters can work when done right, but sadly to say, I wasn’t feelin that with this one. There is also a unneeded love triangle. It felt forced and just, I have to repeat myself, unneeded.

Not all is lost though, because this story has quite the plot and the actual story telling is engaging and hooking. The Greek mythology is interesting and adds an otherworldly element. Morpheus is a great character, and in truth if it wasn’t for him I don’t know if I would have enjoyed this story as much as I did. I also loved the fight scenes, they were choreographed stunningly. I found myself on the edge of my seat and holding my breath. Detailed with a steady flow, I felt like i was watching a movie. And the twist and turns this story takes, really puts a new spin on the normal greek mythology.

Overall this story, though had me mixed, I did very much enjoy myself. The ending was open ended, leaving room for this story to continue, and I will being reading the next book. So yes I do give this book my high recommendation and my stamp of approval.

Happy Reading

Mouse Trapped: Satan's Devils MC #9Mouse Trapped: Satan’s Devils MC #9 by Manda Mellett
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Mouse Trapped is the ninth book in Manda Mellett’s Satan’s Devils MC series! It is my first encounter with the writer and it means also that I have not read the first eight books and even though it is totally fine to read this book as a standalone, I felt that I probably missed out on some things not having read the series in the order as I did not the background and stories of people who were playing important roles in Mouse’s MC life.
Mouse Trapped is the story of Tse ‘Mouse’ who is a man living in two worlds – half Native American and half Anglo … he has found a place in the world by finding it in the Satan’s Devils MC as their computer nerd, a guy who puts together puzzles … a guy who feels that he is still missing something … Mouse Trapped is also the story of Mariana ‘Ma’ who is not really an illegal but who needs to walk straight and narrow as she is DACA holder – she came to the US illegally when she was four years old when her mother escaped her father … she is the sole caretaker of her younger brother who is a citizen as he was born in the US … Things happen, things that are not under Mariana’s control and she is left floundering without help until her brother calls Mouse …
I loved the story, I loved how real it was, the writer touched upon issues that are in the limelight right now – DACA holders, ICE, the detention centers, the attitude of many people … I still remember how Mouse thought to himself, wondering how the world would look like if they (Native Americans) were in charge …
I could not put the book down, I cried and I laughed and … I will need to go back and read the first eight books now! I love discovering new writers and finding new series! What a blessing!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

A Must for Christmas is a sweet holiday novella in Deborah Garlands’ Darling Cove series. I loved meeting Greg and Faith again (we met them in Must Have Faith) and it was also great to get an update on the other Mallory siblings as well!
Greg and Faith are at the final stages of expecting their twins to arrive and both of them are struggling with how they see themselves once the kids arrive – Greg would love Faith to be a stay-at-home-mom and Faith cannot really imagine doing it … having kids is a very emotional time for anyone and having the first kids after having been separated for such a long time … it is even more!
It is a perfect holiday addition to the Darling Cove series and just a friendly reminder, the series should be read in the order the writer meant it!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Climbing The Walls ( Hart & Cole Book 1) by Sacha T.Y. Fortune. This book was very good. It was told by the husband and wife’s perspectives which I loved. Its the story of Kris a loving husband and father who wants nothing more than a happily ever after with Nicole. Nicole is a power hungry business woman and sex fiend. Throw in her crazy boss Darren and his marriage that’s falling apart and you get a big fat mess. Nicole loves her kids and Kris and she wants nothing more than to be a great mom and even better wife but she’s so driven by her work she can’t seem to control herself. Darren uses that to his advantage. Nicole needs to decide if she can help Darren and keep her job all without getting a divorce of her own. This is a fast paced read, once you start you won’t put it down. I really enjoyed it.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

A great read about doing the right thing. Karina Cardinal is a lawyer in love with her boyfriend Patrick. His family invite her to their Christmas Party and she has a great time. But odd events happen in Martin’s library that fuel fire to her curiosity. When she discovers the secret, she is dragged into an uncertain world of art and smoke and shadows and perhaps she shouldn’t have looked after all.
A great read. Well developed plot with twists and turns that I just couldn’t put down. Well developed characters like Karina loving and kind but also standing up for herself or the eccentric Molly or mysterious Martin. I loved the use of suspense drawn out to perfection that kept you reading to find out with Karina. I loved the use of setting with the large house and tunnel rooms and hidden places for that sense of mysery but the colourful art contrasting with beautifully. Or the visual detail of shops and coffee places for a busy vibrant city. High stakes and fast paced action made for a captivating read with a love of art throughout for a lovely touch.Overall, a great read and I would give it five stars.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I give Climbing The Walls (Hart & Cole Book 1) by Sacha T. Y. Fortuné, 4 stars.

Nicole is a sexy, self professed b*tch who who puts all her time into her job. This doesn’t leave much time for her kids or her husband, Kris. Sure Kris is high up the food chain at his own, but he finds time for his kids. He knows his wife is driven by her jobs, but it’s always been like that. Not to mention Nicole is drop-down gorgeous and amazing in bed. But can it last like this?

This book is about two damaged people in a marriage, who love each other but still have issues. It is quite a long book and quite detailed. I admit, this couple drove me quite crazy for a bit. But that is the point. I never read a book like this before. It is definitely not something I will forget any time soon. There is so much going on and it feels so real. These are not two people that have little issues, then all is magically well by then end of the book. They fight, they love, they struggle. They love each other immensely. Add in a very intelligent toddler. This is a book that will stay with you.

If you like a book that is real and not some glossy love story, this book is for you.

Once Upon a Romance (A Dream Come True, #1)Once Upon a Romance by Alex Bailey
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Once Upon a Romance is the first book in Alex Bailey’s a Dream Come True series. All books will be set in Walt Disney World, and follow different couples as they find love in the most magical place on earth. Once Upon a Romance focuses on Sophie and her adorable niece, Ariel, as they make their way to Disney World for Christmas, as per Ariel’s Christmas wish. Except it is all sunshine and rainbows for Sophie. After losing her sister to breast cancer, the last place she wants to be is the Magic Kingdom, reliving her childhood, without her sister. But as fate would have it, she meets Professor Disney, that vows to help her make sure Ariel has the most magical Christmas she could ever dream of.
I really enjoyed this fluffy Christmas romance. It may or may have not made me plan my next holiday to Disney World. I absolutely adore all things Disney and romance, and could not turn down a book that ticks all the boxes. I fell in love with Ray, and his extensive knowledge of Disney and all things nerdy. I’ll take two of him any day. I also really enjoyed the building chemistry between Ray and Sophie, and how they interacted with Ariel. I also loved the level of description Bailey went into when describing the park, and all the rides; it felt as though I was right there next to them. Which only made me even more desperate to get to the nearest Disney Land, which happens to be on the other side of the world (the joys of living in Australia). I do wish there was more of an ending and I got to see a bit more of the characters, but it still ended very cute and fluffy.
I gave Once Upon a Romance 5/5 stars

Rhapsody and Rebellion (Enduring Legacy #7)Rhapsody and Rebellion by Aubrey Wynne
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Rhapsody and Rebellion: (Once Upon a Widow) by Aubrey Wynne is the seventh book in the Enduring Legacy series. Alisabeth and Gideon are the main/featured characters in this historical/regency romance. The author lays the necessary ground work to hold true to the theme/style of the story with the historical time vibe from years past. Once I began reading this story, I did find it’s certainly not your standard historical romance novel- and there’s not one thing wrong with that. I think it gave this novel a bit something different giving it some additional allure. Emotional pulls are evident as you continue through the chapters, adding some additional depth to the story. The little details that Aubrey Wynne wrote it really made this story more fulfilling to read.

Hope's Decree (The Fated #1)Hope’s Decree by Angela McPherson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Hope’s Decree is Book 1 in The Fated Series, which is a new series from author Angela McPherson. This author has well and truly captured me into this world, which is full of action, adventure, suspense,mystery, romance and fantasy. Weaved throughout is Greek mythology that I felt as though I was learning new things along with the characters, I got so caught up in the flow of this book and it’s incredible story line and characters, I was gutted when it ended, I was completely captivated with this read from the very beginning right up until the last page.
The book was filled with twists and turns throughout that had me on the edge of my seat, along with feeling all the heightened emotions, Trinity’s story is one all should follow, especially when Blain comes into her life.

Angela McPherson has made this read mentally visual, and I felt as though I was there along side the characters living out the story myself.

This is an incredible fantasy read, that should not be missed! I highly recommend you read this story and dive into the new world that Angela has created! Don’t miss this read – you’ll be eagerly awaiting the next one in the series, just the same as me!

The second book in the Fated series, by Angela McPherson, is Hope’s Deceit. This paranormal/fantasy romance continues with the vivid details that the author shared in the first novel of this series. Hope’s Deceit continues Trinity’s story with lots of drama, suspense, action, and of course, romance. While some mysteries are answered from questions that were created from the first novel, new ones are awakened. Angela McPherson shines in this genre, her writing ability is above par along with character and story creation.

I really love it when I find new authors and new series. This book is a great start to this series. I really like paranormal books and with the added drama in this it makes it really grabbing. There was constant want to not put the book down.

I found Trinity to be quite relatable. The way the author brings the emotions and how a normal teen struggles with feeling normal. I was drawn to the characters in this book as the story began to unfold. The chemistry between Trinity and Blain just really adds to the story. As Trinity begins her journey that is destine for her and battles the evil I was so drawn in and the added bonus of the romance between her and Blain really hooks the reader in. I find that I really cannot wait to find out what happens next and look forward to reading the next book in the series. I I am glad to add this author to my top favorite authors.

Truly has no memory of her childhood. Life is pretty bad for her now, so what could her brain possibly consider so bad that her memories refuse to come forward? Jeff is a detective who is seeing deeply disturbing patterns in deaths and will stop at nothing to find the connections between them. Each of them will need to decide which is the lesser of two evils.
This paranormal thriller kept me on the edge of my seat and up at night. I absolutely agree with the warning that is for mature audiences but that could be because I have a pretty over active imagination especially in the worst case scenario department.
C.A. King is a fantastic writer and if you enjoy this book, you should read The Portal Prophecies and The Four Horseman series.

5 Stars

I have read other books from this author and have never been disappointed so it was an easy choice for me to pick up and read. I love this book! When I finished reading it, I knew that I had found another series that I would love. I can’t wait to read the other two books.

I enjoy when authors are able to intertwine mythology into their storyline. This one was phenomenal! It was an original take on Pandora’s box. Trinity is a descendant of Pandora and she must learn how to wield her powers and save mankind. It’s a little much for Trinity to accept seeing as she’s just trying to get through her senior year of high school. I liked Trinity a lot. She was strong yet weak, brave and insecure. She didn’t want to cause trouble but she stood her ground and didn’t let people walk all over her. Being only seventeen, her emotions were all over the place and she was constantly changing her mind about being with Blain. It was a little frustrating.

Blain is a drop dead gorgeous guy who happens to be Trinity’s guardian. He is her protector and he has to teach her how to use her powers. You can see that he really loves her too but Blain is just as stubborn as her. Indecision between doing his duty and wanting to be with Trinity as more than her guardian. He doesn’t want her with anyone else either. This leads to some interesting scenes.

Morpheus has to be my favourite character even though he’s a bad guy. He has the dark looks that I like and he’s sarcastic and funny. There are many layers to him which I love.

This story has many twists and turns which constantly kept me on my toes. The fight scenes added fast paced action which felt like I was watching a movie. The characters were down to earth and relatable which had me cheering them on. The book was creative and kept me captivated until the very end. It doesn’t end in a cliffhanger but it is an open ending which will lead into book two. I’m very excited to read the next one in the series.

What an epic drama this story is. From the first page to the last, this story is full of emotion and life. CLIMBING THE WALLS at times was too realistic and I found myself with deep sadness that I had to explore when I was done reading.

The precocious daughter brought an unexpected later to the story that made me smile every time she opened her mouth.

While the time framework takes place in a short amount of time it is chock full of events that can change the course of a life.

The author is very detailed in the writing and at times I found may skipping though some of it to find out what happens next.

It was an enjoyable read that is a departure from my”normal” one sit reads.

The story Venganza: The Fuentes Legacy by Greta Cribbs is a thrilling book that I enjoyed reading. It had me turning pages to find out what was going to happen next. It is a story that drew me in from the beginning and didn’t let me go until I had read the final page. It is a story about a family’s legacy and the love that two people have for each other. The Fuentes family is one that has secrets. Magic and a legacy that they are willing to kill to protect. Leo Fuentes left the family and does everything in his power to make sure that his father never finds his son, Damian. Even with his best efforts Damian is found, kidnapped and tortured. Leo is a father that feels guilt for not being able to be a part of his son’s life and now that pain is further compounded by what has happened to Damian. Damian is a man that has feelings of abandonment by his father. He has a wonderful relationship with the one he loves, Jenn. Will his kidnapping and the aftermath change that relationship, or will Damian’s and Jenn’s bond prove to be unshakeable? Read this story to see what happens when Damian is kidnapped and how it all turns out for him and Jenn. This story is a prequel. It gives a look into the raw emotions that the characters of Damian and Jenn feel. You can’t help but be moved by what they go through. They are two characters that I loved in the story before this one and this prequel made me love them even more. The way that the story is written I felt like I was right there with the characters. There were times that were suspenseful, and I had to remind myself to breathe. You also get to read about how Leo Fuentes feels about his son and his family. There are additional characters that are introduced in the story and I enjoyed reading about the part that they play and their interactions with Damian and Jenn. There are scenes in this story that are very intense and others that warmed my heart. This is a story that I would recommend reading.

The Debt Collector (An Underground Bad Boys Romance)The Debt Collector by India Kells
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I loved this book. This story as a little bit of everything from romance, to suspense, to hot steamy erotica. Tess is a doctor that has been helping girls that have been enslaved by the Underground Cage fighting. What will happen when she is captured and then rescued by a debt collector? How much is she willing to risk? The characters are connectable and hot, sexy that pull you into their world of twists and turns that I couldn’t put down until the end. This is a must read book!

5 out of 5 stars

The Eastern Shore Swingers Books 1-3 (Boxed Set) are wonderful stories to read. They are books that I loved and have amazing characters. One thing I liked is that the characters from the previous stories appear in the next book. They are all like a large family and I love how when one of them is in trouble or needs help the others lend their support. Romance is in the air with the characters in these books. Sometimes the characters feelings/emotions are conflicted, and then other times obstacles arise that must be overcome. The women in these stories are beautiful, smart, independent and sassy. The men are handsome and charming. There are plenty of steamy scenes included in this box set and will have the temperature in the room rising. Once I started each story, I found that I couldn’t put it down for long as I wanted to know what happened next and if there was a happy ending. Besides the main characters there are many additional characters that you are introduced to in the stories and I enjoyed reading about the part that each one played and their interactions with the main characters. Don’t miss out on this box set which had me turning pages. The stories do introduce you to an alternative lifestyle that is lived. It does bring attention to the fact that not all are so accepting of this lifestyle and the club the Factory along with those who go there try to keep a low profile. The set is intended for mature audiences.

The story The Debt Collector: An Underground Bad Boys Romance by India Kells is a book that I loved reading. It is a story with steamy scenes that will make the temperature in the room rise and you will be reaching for a cold glass of water. I loved reading about the characters of Dr. Tessa Freeman and Locke. Tessa is a woman who is caring and has a large heart. When a patient comes in and needs help she will provide it, even if it means that she may be in danger. Tessa has found herself taken by a slave ring after she helps some girls in the ER where she works. Locke is the man that rescues Tessa. He also is both mysterious and distant. He has offered Tessa a deal to keep her safe from the slave ring. The terms of that deal are not what Tessa would have ever expected. These two are both attracted to each other. There is electricity when they are together and the lust they feel for each other is very evident. Add in Locke’s best friend Gage, and there is enough heat to burn the building they are in down to the ground. Is lust all that Tessa feels? Will she find out the secrets that Locke keeps? What does the future hold? Will Tessa finally no longer have to worry about the slave ring? Read this book to find out what happens. I was intrigued by Locke’s friend Gage. He is an underground cage fighter and their friendship includes a strong bond of friendship and sometimes a lot more goes on when they are together. I love that Tessa is a strong and independent woman. She is a character that I loved from the start of the book. This is a book that is wonderful to read and one that I would recommend.
