Fake Fiancé (A Second Chance Office Romance) by Amy McKinley – Review by Meg Tyrrell

Fake Fiancé: A Second Chance Office RomanceFake Fiancé: A Second Chance Office Romance by Amy McKinley
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This was my first book by Amy McKinley. It won’t be my last. I found another favorite author! This book stole me the second I started reading it. I couldn’t put it down. Adeline Rossi is our main female character. She’s a head strong, smart, driven female who knows what she wants in life. Is set in her way of not “ending up like her mom”, and feeling like she missed out on her goals in life. Stone Crenshaw is our main male character and he’s a business tycoon who is a workaholic. They have an interesting meeting. While pretending to be engaged, things start to boil. This is unlike any other “fake fiancé” books I’ve read. Absolutely recommend and can’t wait to find more books by Amy McKinley.

Urban Justice (A Chicago Vigilantes Novel #2) by India Kells

5-stars

Urban Justice is another phenomenal book by India Kells. This is the second book in the Chicago Vigilantes series, a series that should be read in order as this book follows the first. This author never ceases to amaze me with all of the detail, which makes it so easy to picture everything playing out in my mind, keeping me highly entertained the whole way through.

I loved Sloane and Luke’s story and being able to follow along in their action-packed journey filled with so much character development. The two headstrong characters had me on my toes the whole way through constantly guessing how it would all play out, and I couldn’t be happier with how it ended.

If you’re looking for an action packed read with never a dull moment, steamy scenes and great characters look no further this is the series for you! I promise you will not be disappointed.

I am a huge fan of Mark Nolan’s; his writing abilities are absolutely incredible. I had previously read the third book in the Jake Wolfe series and loved it so I knew I had to start the series from the beginning and I am so glad I did!

Dead Lawyers Don’t Lie is a phenomenal thriller read. From the very first chapter I was hooked! I found the characters really easy to connect with and the storyline was highly entertaining. It’s action-packed, intense, funny and incredibly detailed, a real page turner. I loved all the thought that went into this series, it’s truly one of a kind! I can’t wait to dive into the rest of this series.

Urban Justice by India Kells is the second book in the Chicago Vigilantes series. This is a fantastic follow up to the first book and was just as gripping a read! The book was intense and fast paced from start to finish. This is the type of book that you just have to read in one go because you just can’t put it down. At times it honestly felt like the pages just turned themselves.
It was great to get back to these characters and their stories. They are intriguing and work so well together. It was brilliant to see their relationship developing throughout this story.
India Kells has become one of those authors that I don’t question whether or not to get the book it is just a given that I will. She has an excellent writing style that really engages you as the reader. This is a fantastic series and one I would highly recommend.

Dead Lawyers Don’t Lie is the first book in the Jake Wolfe series.
The story line is intriguing. There is a good amount of action and suspense as you read. I love the addition of the dog as an integral part of the book. That being said, there are a few places where the story is slowed a little by some filler that could have been cut and still left a superb adventure.
Overall, a good read.

The Sound of Silence (Leave Me Breathless) by Dakota Willink

TRIGGER WARNING! This is the first book I’ve read by Willink and it won’t be my last. This book is very clear about a trigger warning and for that I am glad. This book will leave you hanging on the edge of your seat.

Gianna doesn’t know what is going to happen. She went from being happy and single to being unhappy and married. She meets a stranger on her wedding day and runs into him three years later. The quote I chose for Gianna is: “Then it’s a yes— definitely yes! This is great! Oh my gosh, I could kiss you right now!”

Derek met a beautiful girl that he calls the runaway bride. Three long years pass, but that doesn’t stop him from thinking of her. Imagine his surprise when he runs into her. The quote I chose for Derek is: “No, we’ve definitely met before. Your hair is different but I’d never forget that face. You’re the runaway bride!”

Highly recommended for Dark Romantic Suspense lovers.

So the story focuses around marital abuse and at times my heart broke when I was listening to this it was so gut-wrenching. From very early on you know exactly what it is going g to be happening in this book. I feel like the author handled it really well and respectively and sensitively too. I really like that the author tackled these topics and it was written really well.

The narrators of the audiobook did a fantastic job with this story and really brought it to life and also handled it with such care.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I loved that this book had us traveling back and forth in time. From the times of Prohibition to 2020, we’re thrown into a murder mystery that’s unlike any other. I love that the author’s personal settings happen to be thrown into these stories as well. Logan is also balancing a private life with her professional life which we know can be tough for her. This book is multilayered in numerous ways but the author definitely gets the reader to think about a lot while indulging in a murder mystery. These kinds of stories do wonders for my memory and for a new way of thinking.

Bake Believe by Cori Cooper – Review by Anantha Rusum

Bake BelieveBake Believe by Cori Cooper
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Bake Believe is a pretty cool book which reminded me of this Netflix show “Just Add Magic”. This is a book on similar lines where the main character gets a family gift she never imagined. The gift is that whatever emotion she feels as she bakes is infused in her creation. This adds more fire to her already raging teenage problems and leads to comic consequences.
I loved this book, it has a dash of magic, humor and innocent school day romance. To top it all, the detailed recipes are a huge bonus. My son is into baking and the recipes in the book are quite elaborate for him to try out.
I absolutely adored this book!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Unwrapped was the perfect addition to my Holiday reading lineup! This story is written by Evelyn Sola and this is my first time ever reading a novel by her. Immediately I found myself wrapped up in this story and unable to put it down. Within the first chapter I both felt sorry for, and laughed at Nick, whom is the boss of Mona, whom is the mom of Miranda, whom is the narrator of this story. I found this story had many laughs, lots of suspense, an excellent amount of heartache, and just enough steamy romance. This entire story is based around the Christmas Holiday, and I just adored how much tradition was packed into it. I loved that every single character was likable and obviously flawed. This story is meant to be a standalone novel, and is targeted at mature audiences. I really enjoyed it and would recommend it to anyone looking for a quick holiday romance! 4 stars!

The Sound of Silence (Leave Me Breathless) by Dakota Willink. I love a story about characters who go through some of the most horrible things and learn to live again. This was my first read by this author but it definitely won’t be my last. This book isn’t for everyone it definitely has some hard issues brought up that may be difficult for some. I love books like this which may seem weird but I love when the characters aren’t shiny and new. I love tough characters that go through heck and back and can still be ok in the end.

The Sound of Silence by Dakota Willink is an emotional reading. Be forewarned there is a trigger warning concerning domestic violence. The story deals with domestic violence and how we do not really know what goes on behind closed doors. What might appear to be a fantasy, fairy tale life might actually be a horror-filled life. The book focuses on the characters Gianna and Derek. I enjoyed getting a different POV because it tells so much more about the story. This book is well written and the story and characters are thought out and engaging. I did not want to put it down because the characters had so much at stake. This is an engrossing story and handles a difficult subject beautifully. There is so much to say just about the title which speaks to the actual story. I look forward to reading more from this author in the near future.
