I couldn’t wait to dive into this read! I loved experiencing new authors and to make this even better its one of my favourite genres of book – MC.
I absolutely loved this book I was captivated with the story from beginning till the end and didn’t want it to stop! As with most MC reads, this book was steamy, it had romance, it had action, adventure and drama all rolled into one brilliant fast-paced, action-packed read!
I loved Cort & Seren they have brilliant chemistry and attraction and I loved following their journey. These characters are well developed and really help make the story that more realistic. I absolutely loved this read and so glad I got the chance to read this and get a new author to look out for!
I can’t wait to see what else comes to this series and what else this author will bring us.

Ann Marie – Review by Chantelle Smith
Renegade by Raven White is the first book in the Mercenaries series. This is a well written book that will sweep you along with the story. The main characters in this story had such a great chemistry. It was brilliant to read about them together and I liked their interactions immediately. The author did a great job with the story too. It had the right amount of action and romance to make it exciting. It was a nice easy story to read. The kind of book that you can lose yourself in for few hours. For me this is the perfect lazy afternoon read, hot alpha male, feisty female to keep him on his toes. I am looking forward to reading more from this series.

Rule by Via Mari is the first book in the Larussio Legacy series. This is another fantastic book by this author. Although this is the first in the series the author has brought in characters from previous books which I do think would be worth reading first. Every time I think these characters are finished with, every time I think the author cannot possibly do any more with them, she completely proves me wrong. This book was brilliant. The characters were as strong and compelling as ever. The capture your attention with ease. And the story is just brilliant. From the moment I started reading I knew I was going to have to finish the book in one sitting. I cannot wait to read what else is to come!

Forbidden Love: Written by Lisa Jones Gentry: As Told by Their Son Joe Steele is a true story that tells a tale of love, vows, religion, race, segregation, and a long running passionate affair. This romance between a priest and a nun, produces a child who is put up for adoption. This is his story of how he discovered who his birth parents were, and how they defied the church, and society with the love they shared. This was an interesting story. Told from the perspective of Joe Steele, their son. A story of how love always finds a way, and doesn’t discriminate. Well worth the read!

Recall: An Ash Park Novel by Meghan O’Flynn is the sixth book in the Ash Park series. This story can be read as a standalone but I highly recommend reading the preceding books. Detective Petrosky is finally feeling in a good place but of course things don’t always stay the same. After a councilman’s son is murdered things start to get out of control. This story is dark and gritty but there are moments of humor to break the tension. This is so well written and kept me on the edge of my seat. I always reading books in this series despite the serious topics that are brought up. I look forward to reading more from Meghan O’Flynn in the future.

I am so glad I added this book to the many I’ve already read by this author. This was such a simple read yet full of so much to keep you thinking all the way till the end. It was a one sitting read for me because I could not make myself put it down.
This author does a great job weaving a mystery with great characters and great storylines. This one had me all messed up jumping from one scenario to another and finally figuring it all out but loving how it played out, then thinking it was all cupcakes and unicorns from there on only to have another twist thrown in that for me personally came out of left field, never even occurred to me I guess because I was so focussed on the other part of the story. Loved it!! Well Played Miss Moore!
I loved Dawn, and her reactions to things were alot like I imagine mine would have been..but I think my favorites in the book aside from her would definitely have to be Jerome and Dorothy, and of course Scratch-off, he made me smile.
If I had one negative I would have loved another epilogue that included David, but I’ll just have to let my imagination figure that one out 🙂

I loved this book. I was pulled in right from the beginning. It is an engaging story that I read in one sitting, I couldn’t put it down once I started it. The characters made the story realistic and I had no problem imagining myself with them. Callum doesn’t want a committed relationship until he meets Spring. She is a mess but he can’t seem to stay away from her. Spring has dreams but will she change them to be with him. I highly recommend reading their story and find out what happens with them.

This is the third book in this series and the conclusion. I am a little sad to see it end but I am excited to see what next this author will have for us. This is a second chance romance story that I read in one sitting, I couldn’t put it down. It pulled me in right from the beginning and kept me engaged to the end. Will Mary Ann and Connor get their second chance at love? This is an emotional roller coaster you don’t want to miss. I highly recommend this book.

I loved this book. It was completely unique and different than anything else ive read in a long time.
I stayed kind of confused the first bit trying to figure out some things but as it went on I knew why, one conversation between Charlie and her friend put it all in perspective for me. I read this in one sitting because I enjoyed every word and couldn’t put it down. I think the children in this story were my favorite part, their characters were written perfectly..Another favorite was that I felt like I could visualize every part of Charlie’s home and wanted to transport myself there and never return.
I loved the relationship that was shared by all..Family, even if it was strained in many ways and actually got worse..family was still the feeling I got while reading.
I think it was awesome how I went into this book thinking the title meant one thing and it turned out I was so off base and had so much of a deeper meaning and that ending… I had the biggest smile.

Hennessey on the Rocks is my first book by DeSimone and won’t be the last. This story has quite a few feels throughout. Lots of hurting and misunderstanding between the main characters of Johnnie and Charlie. The kids, Abie and Jace, are so super cute and funny and stuck in the middle of adult crap. However, I do like the way this author makes the kids put the adult situations right back on the adults!
This story is easy to read in that the plot is well written and flows naturally. The story itself, the heart ache of the characters, is what hurts. Good overall story and will read more from this author in the future.

Rule (The Larussio Legacy Book 1) by Via Mari. So Via Mari is most absolute favorite author! Anything that has her name on it I’m reading it. I really wish this series would be turned into a movie because it would be amazing! This is story of Katarina Larussio Preestian who is left to run her dad’s business when he is left injured from a Mob hit. Katarina is married to Chase Prestian one of the wealthiest men in the world and he wants to protect Katarina but also give her the freedom she needs to do her business. Also in the mix is Giovanni Larussio, Katarina’s cousin who is next in line to be the Don for the Italian family but he’s caught between his Italian family and other obligations. Serena Morettis is working for Giovanni who she is highly attracted to. Will she be able to resist the temptation of Giovanni. When you read a book and it stays with you, you know you’ve read something special. That’s how I feel every time I read Via Mari book. Read Rule you will not be disappointed!

Well what can I say about Forbidden Love by Lisa Jones Gentry: As Told By Their Son Joe Steele? This book is like nothing I’ve ever read and I was totally consumed by it and did not want to put it down. How dare I have to go to work and spoil my reading pleasure. Forbidden Love is the true story of Black Catholic Priest William Grau and white nun Sophie Legocki. The story is being told by their son Joe Steele. The story comes from conversations with Sophie as she lay on her hospital bed nearing the end of her life and also Joe’s own memories. This is a beautiful story of forbidden love. Forbidden in more than one way. Firstly William (or Billy as he is known) is a Catholic priest and Sophie is a nun. Secondly, their love started in the USA in the 1950’s when race relations were at their worst. A black man and a white woman together was a major taboo and Billy and Sophie faced danger many times when they were seen together. Reading this book it is obvious that Billy and Sophie were deeply in love with one another. As devoted as they both were to God, their love for each other was so deep that they could not be apart. As forbidden as their love was, even as a Catholic myself, I wanted this couple to be together, They deserved to be together. This book is wonderful. I would 100% recommend this book and I guarantee that you will be moved by this beautiful love story.

I really liked the idea of this story. This is a second chance love story. My major issue is there is just a bit too much of thinking inside their heads for me. The story otherwise was good but the back half was a quicker paced story.
I can’t write this review and not mention the children in this story. They are two of the most adorable kids. They are highly intelligent (maybe a bit too much for their age) and full of charm and wit. The animals and their craziness add some fun here as well.
The title of the story is perfect for both Hennessey’s. They each get their time on the rocks. The author did a nice job incorporating the title into the story. I love this because it works in so many planes.

I have read a few books by this author now and I know that I am going to be in for an intriguing read and Somebody in the Neighbourhood was no exception. I was engaged form the very beginning until the end. There was a great level of suspense that ran through the book and I loved guessing what was going to happen. Ms Moore always manages to keep me guessing throughout her stories with some great twists and turns. I really liked Dawn – the main character in the story – she was determined to find out what had happened to her aunt. Alongside Dawn were some great secondary characters that I felt really added something to the story – they were all really well developed. I would highly recommend Somebody in the Neighbourhood to anyone who loves a good crime story – I definitely don’t think you will be disappointed!

Jax Marlin – To Catch A Marlin by T. K. Toppin. I always love when I find a new author that makes me a fan . This book had everything I was looking for in a great read. I had moments of laughing out loud and times of being on the edge of my seat wondering what would happen next. I like the balance the author gave this story. The characters truly draw readers into the story and the storyline keeps you going deeper. Even the smallest details are well written and make you want to sit back and watch this book come alive right before you eyes. The storyline is well written and paced nicely. I’m excited to read more from this author and I’m really glad I found this book and author. Five stars all the way and highly recommended!

Publishing Company – Hell Bent Press & T. Birmingham
Rock bottom is a place Spring Markham isn’t often known to hit. The oldest of the four Markham sisters, she’s the spring, the steady tide, the calm breeze after Winter’s edge.
Not any longer.
Callum “Casper” Gordon has spent his life either creating controlled messes or cleaning up after others’ screw-ups. He doesn’t want commitment. He doesn’t need family. But Spring, for all that she’s a disaster, she’s a beautiful one he can’t stay away from. He knows she’s bound to break his heart and leave him. But he’s used to people leaving. Too bad, long ago, he decided he would be the first to leave. With Spring, he just can’t.
Torn between her past trauma and her need for something more, Spring is at a crossroads… One she’s not handling so well. Drinking to rid herself of the pain and watching every relationship she has slowly start to crumble, she has a choice to make.
Spring can cling to the starry-eyed dreams she once had, or she can set those old wishes and hopes free and ride into a new future with the man who wants nothing more than to be at her side through thick and thin.
Warning: This story has strong depictions of addiction.
T. Birmingham believes words are our greatest form of magic. And making magic is what she loves best. But when it’s time to put the words aside, T. enjoys drinking whiskey with her tribe, eating pretzels with Nutella, watching and reading as many stories as she can, especially romances, and traveling wherever the wind takes her–sometimes all at once. She also loves a sturdy (but cute) pair of cowgirl boots, is hoping to one day build a log cabin with her Man Bear, and she writes mystery and suspense in the Paranormal, Contemporary, and MC Romance genres.

Amy’s Santa: Satan’s Devils MC Second Generation #1 by Manda Mellett Stars-4
I absolutely love that Manda Mellett has written about the second generation! This book focuses on Amy and Drew. I love how they came together. Amy is incredibly strong, and Drew is willing to fight for those he loves. There are moments that may be triggers for some, but the author warns of this. I feel that this book was well done and a great start to this series. I cannot wait to see how this series plays out!

This book is amazing its an emotional rollercoaster. I didn’t read any of the first generation so i was a little confused but i loved Amy and Wizard. I thought the book was beautifully written. And i loved how it had in the beginning all the characters and who they are married to it definitely came in handy because there are a lot of characters and it did keep me from getting confused. But i love this book and i give it a 4 star review.

Somebody In the Neighborhood is a great 4 star murder mystery. I was pulled in right from the beginning.
Dawn finds out that her aunt has been murdered, curiosity got the best of her and she looked at the pictures of her aunt. Now she can’t get the image out of her mind. Dawn ends up going with her parents to Florida to take care of her aunts things. While in Florida Dawn decides she wants to stay in Florida and live in her aunt’s house and find out what happened.
As Dawn starts to meet the neighbors things get very interesting. They all seem to have secrets of some sort and so much more. Can Dawn trust any of them? Who is the murderer?
Overall I really enjoyed this book, I love it when a book has me guessing about who the killer is. There are several twists and turns. All of the characters added a great element to the story. Judy pulls you right in with her writing and you won’t want to put it down until your done. If your looking for a great murder mystery 1-click and get started today.

The second installment of this epic spiritual journey was very good. The journey continued for the different groups and the interconnectivity of their journeys was even more pronounced. I found myself vested in each person’s story and rooting for each of them at they battled their war and completed their journey. This series combines fantasy and spirituality to produce the just the right balance for me. I loved this story and I am looking forward to continuing the journey and cannot wait for the next installment.

Jones – Review by Cindy Rushin
Amy’s Santa is the first book I’ve read by this author and I enjoyed the book. I wasn’t sure exactly what was going to happen after reading about when Amy has no choice but to leave the compound and flee to Phoenix. Amy and Drew were always attached at the hip growing up. Unfortunately, there were to many years between them so they were unable to bring their relationship past friendship. As the years went on the feelings were there for both of them but that didn’t matter. When Amy walks in to catch Drew in a compromising position, she knows she need to get away…far away! She decided to go away to school and become a nurse. Now she is coming home for the holidays and brings one of her good friends home with her. Amy doesn’t know where should would be today if it weren’t for Xander. He saved her….rescued her when she needed him to. She knows by going home to spend time with her dad and the rest of the MC family is going to be hard. She is a shell of the person they know her to be. She’s carrying a secret and she is afraid if anyone finds out her secret they will blame her. Xander is cornered by Amy’s dad Heart ( Amy’s Dad ) and has no choice but to come clean and tell him what the problem with Amy is all about. Will Amy’s dad understand what happened and stand behind his little girl? What will happen when Drew and Amy see each other. Will seeing Amy light a fire under him? Will Drew finally settle down or with the club president remain single? I thought this was a good book. I’m not a fan of MC books because I can’t deal with trying to remember who is who but this book wasn’t so hard.

I have to start by saying this is my absolute favorite thriller series right now and for a long time. I have completely fallen in love with the dark and twisty world of Ash Park and the detectives that work so hard to make it safer for the inhabitants while struggling with their own deep dark demons. These books will knock your socks off and are absolute must haves. Box sets make my day for so many reasons, one being easy gifting so I can spread the goodies around, and definitely something I have already done with this. I can’t wait to see if we will get more Ash Park books in the future or whatever twisted story Meghan O’Flynn cooks us up! Below is a review for each individual books.
FAMISHED ~ Book #1: I will admit I was hesitant going into reading this novel. I ADORE thriller novels. Love the gore and scares, and by all means give me all the twisted intrigue, mystery, with a twisty plot. I want to believe this could be real so I can be scared. See, we live in a pretty scary world already. One, where just watching the daily news is enough to make me want to put three locks on my door and cameras in my home with a fully loaded gun in my nightstand. So what really confused me was when I began to really get into this novel, was all those one star reviews that had me so hesitant to pick up a thriller novel from an author that I adore. I have several points I need to make because it has been really weighing on my mind here. First, Meghan O’Flynn is a clinical therapist and a mother. Can you imagine the horrors she hears and sees on a daily basis while having to go home and live a “normal” life and be a nurturing mother? I struggle as a mother with the guilt of knowing I brought a child into this world that is slowly, each day, becoming more and more depraved to a point where I fear to go to even the grocery store. She gets a backstage pass to this stuff. So yeah it isn’t so shocking to envision the phrase so often used to describe such shocking writing…
“Thomas grinned like a fifteen year old girl with a cock in her ass.”
Umm… you apparently don’t read, watch TV, or go to the mall, etc. I have heard phrases like this be slung around, all too much, sadly in one form or another. This is supposed to be from a depraved person and depicts a state of mind. It is crucial character development.
Second, gore and sex is definitely a major role is this book. Now I know this isn’t everyone’s cup of tea. It isn’t a necessary aspect for a thriller book, but for this storyline it was necessary to have the details in order to fulfill the plot. Given that nugget of information you can decide whether you’d like to give it a try or not, but don’t rule it out completely just because it is a part of the story until you consider that. It is not done in distaste or overwritten and everything has its place. I can think of many great horror movies that were amazing because they managed to be detailed with gore and violence to a realistic point. It made the movie realistic and feel as if it happened not was a written script. Those are the ones that get you. Famished does this, and that is a difficult feat!
With that said and out of the way, and if you have decided to keep going you are in for one hell of a thrilling ride. I picked this up about 8:45 at night, it was raining (again) and I just needed something to help me unwind to get to sleep. I had no idea that I would be reading well into the night and devouring this book in one sitting. In fact I am actually typing this review very sleepily at 4 am because I awoke with a start from a disturbing dream (those darn scary bedtime stories) and had to do something to distract myself for a bit. This book is still very much on my mind and I am sure it will be for quite some time. Luckily, Conviction, the second book is available now so I am off to dive right into it after this. I think I am going to skip out on those reviews this time! Happy reading, and scary dreams! Thank you so much Meghan O’Flynn for the bloody amazing thriller! CONVICTION ~ Book #2: Conviction is the second installment in the Ash Park Novels from Meghan O’Flynn. She has quickly become my favorite thriller writer and one-click go to author for this genera. I have never been disappointed with a novel of hers and once again she has managed to top the bar she set with her last. Conviction took me on a riveting, perplexing, and hair-raising journey that I never wanted to end. I absolutely adore Meghan’s knack for making it nearly impossible to figure out the twist before it happens. I am known for being the one that figures out the movie twenty minutes in, and same for most books like this, but never with Meghan’s. I am 80% of the time wrong, and I LOVE it!
Like I said before, this is the second installment in her Ash Park novels. They could be read as standalones, but I would highly recommend that you read them in order. There are a lot of reoccurring characters that make up the team that do the investigations and so forth. I find it would be a travesty to really divulge much of anything else about the plot because I just can’t ruin this book for you. Curl up with your favorite blanket in a comfy spot. Set the mood and settle in for a dark adventure you are sure to enjoy in one sitting. Thanks Meghan O’Flynn for another outstanding thrill!
REPRESSED ~ Book #3 Holy fracking wow! Repressed is another impressive chilling thriller from Meghan O’ Flynn. I must confess, after each of the Ash Park novels that I read by the ever talented O’ Flynn, I am more enamored than I was with the previous one I just praised as the best of the series. O’ Flynn really has the knack for drawing in the reader and holding you and your thoughts hostage long after you finish the last page. Each of the books could be read as standalones, but I would read them all and in order. For one, as mentioned, they are all great, but they do build in plot and stories, as well as have characters that we do get glimpses of in each of the books, and two, why not?? It is the perfect season and they are all available to scoop up and enjoy!
Repressed gives us the story of Curt Morrison. I always knew that there was more to Curt but I had no idea what was to come from him that is for sure! (No spoilers here though!) Though, as we follow him in his new life with his wife and adorable new daughter we begin to learn about some deep and dark demons that lay ‘repressed’ in his past. The case that Morrison and Petrosky are working on also becomes an overlying factor and everything Morrison has ever cherished will come into jeopardy. Will he be able to conquer his past demons and do whatever it takes to protect the ones that he loves now? Or will the past finally come to catch up to him?
This book touches on some difficult subjects, like the others have, but it is done in a way that makes the story flow. Every piece is necessary to the novel, and tells the story that the reader needs to fully understand all that is going on. Nothing is done without care to details. You can tell these are topics close to Meghan O’ Flynn’s heart. I personally cannot wait to get my hands on the next novel, which will be right after I finish this review. I think a storm is brewing outside too, perfect weather for an Ash Park novel!! Thank you so much for another amazing novel, Meghan O’ Flynn!

Testament of Feats: Book of Sorrows Book Two by K.H. Jones just blew me away. There is so much to be said about the book, the characters, and the world. I truly enjoy this series, I find myself opening up the kindle app multiple times during my busy day and stealing time to get to the end. The characters are so well developed, I felt so connected to their story and development. The world building is phenomenaI, I did not want to leave.

Testament of Feats: Book Of Sorrows Book Two by K.H. Jones
5-Stars
Testament of Feats: Book Of Sorrows Book Two by K.H. Jones is another extravagant adventure story. I loved this book and could not put it down. From start to finish, Jones pulls readers in. I was impressed with book one of this series but this one is my new favorite. The storyline is easy to follow and descriptive. The author paints a picture with each scene so that readers can easily visualize the characters and what is happening. The characters were once again amazing. They were realistic and had unique and memorable names. They all had excellent qualities and fit the story well. This was such a fun read for me. I look forward to more from this author in the future.

Jones – Review by Madison Degraffenreid
I really appreciated reading this book for many reasons. One, being based in Buffalo and being a Buffalonian it was really cool to be able to put myself in the places these students visited. Secondly, I myself was a graduate student. I thought about going for a PhD after completing my masters and this book made me glad I did not go further with my education. The author was able to portray the stress that goes into graduate school perfectly. My older sister completed her PhD in NYC and I now have a better appreciation of what she went through. Yes, every person has a different PI or boss and different experiences, but the stress is still there. What I liked most was reading about the different cultures that formed these relationships/companionships/friendships, what ever word you want to use for them. The different cultures and personalities that came together to create such a tight knit group of people was amazing to read about. Though one of them may have felt alone, they were never truly alone. Having experienced it myself, the author does a fabulous job of demonstrating the complex relationship among competitive friends; the fine line of wanting your friend to succeed but also wanting to do better than them. I loved watching Leda’s rollercoaster of emotions and how she handled each situation with as much maturity and of sound mind as possible. As someone who suffers with anxiety and depression, it was hard to read the pain that she experienced but I loved reading her poetry/music and her emails to Andre back home. I think that every person that reads this book could walk away with some extra knowledge about life and relationships. School is not all about books and classes, it’s so much more than that.
