Urban Justice (A Chicago Vigilantes Novel Book 2) by India Kells – Review by Faith Jackson

Urban Justice (A Chicago Vigilantes Novel #2)Urban Justice by India Kells
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I found this book just like the first very exciting, fast-paced and steamy to say the very least. The heroine takes the reader by the horns into her world where she and her gang save the city of Chicago (or attempt to) but it’s deeper than that. Sloane and Luke’s chemistry is very heated but better together through those action-packed scenes I love as well. I won’t give too much away other than that but this is well worth the read!

I really enjoyed this book. It is a collection of 5 romance stories set at Christmas time. They are so full of festive joy and the magic of christmas that it really makes you get into the spirit of the season.

The romance is sweet and very fitting to go with the Christmas time. The stories are perfect reading to curl up with in front of a warm fire with hot chocolate. The characters are so well written that you can’t help but fall in love with them and feel all the emotions that they are going through.

These books are a great example of the magic and romance that Christmas can bring.

At Last (The Adams Brothers BOOK 1) by Mindy McKinley – Review by Colleen Noyes

At Last: Adams Brothers: Book 1At Last: Adams Brothers: Book 1 by Mindy McKinley
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This book surprised me, I’ll admit it. I’ve never read anything by this author and picked it up based off of the cover. Dom and Tallulah were such a cute couple, but not in the fluffy no substance kind. What I enjoyed most about this couple is that their relationship seemed very realistic. There is romance, but the parts that got me were the tender moments, the moments that they cared about each other, the simple brush of a hand, and the best was the banter. I am a woman who loves to banter and harass my man and get it back. There is romance and some HOT intimate scenes but they don’t drive the story or the book. There was substance to the words, to the story, there were surprises and even a little twist. They dealt with real world things and this book did a great job of showing how a couple thinks about those differently, but also how they find their strength in each other. The author’s writing style is very easy to read, the words just flowed, and she made you feel connected to each person even the secondary character like Amy, Mason, and Seb. If you enjoy contemporary romance that is about more than just doing it you will want to pick up this book. I already preordered the next book this morning!

Eye of Death (Vampire State Book 3) by Alexander Charalambides – Review by Bobbi Wagner

Eye of Death (Vampire State, #3)Eye of Death by Alexander Charalambides
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the third book in this series, I enjoyed it just as much as the previous two books. This author has continued to impress me with his writing skills and his attention to details. This book is no different. The plot is creative and the characters bring the story to life. This is a fast paced story that is engaging and easy to read. Rowena is back in another action filled story. This time she has taken to the streets to report the war going on around her. As things are falling apart around her she is forced to decide which side of the war she is on. She is such a great character and really does make the story for me. I highly recommend this book and this series.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

5 Stars

Fake Fiancé: A Second Chance Office Romance is another superb read from Amy McKinley. I know I have said this before, but I really do love Ms. McKinley’s books, she never fails to draw me into her stories, getting me completely invested in her wonderful characters and the outcome of their story. Ms. McKinley is a one-click, no questions asked author for me. I don’t need to know anything about her book to know that I will love it- and this book proves that point yet again.
I loved Adeline and Stone- their chemistry was intense and palpable. But if that alone isn’t enough to entice you, the story was cleverly woven with interesting elements that had me captivated the whole way through. Add a little mysteriousness, some touching & tender moments, emotion, a little drama, lots of spice- and an extra helping of destiny- and this story became un-put-downable.
Another feather for Ms. McKinley’s cap, that’s for sure!

Thank you, Amy McKinley!

Unwrapped by Evelyn Sola. When I read the “about” part of this story I knew I had to read it. This author is new to me but after this book I’ll definitely be looking for more. The author blended steamy romance with well written storyline nicely. Sometimes it can be a bit heavy handed but I didn’t feel that in the story. In the beginning it was a little slower but once I was drawn in I didn’t want it to end. I had a easy time connecting with each character and they each really made to story. It’s well written and paced nicely. I’m definitely excited to see what else this author has to offer. Four stars and highly recommended!

The Dog Thief and Other Stories by Jill Kearney. I was pleasantly surprised by this collection of stories that definitely captured my heart. This collection of short stories will have great meaning to those who love animals and mane give some insight to those who may not feel a strong connection to animals. These stories really show a realistic view on both human world and animal world. If your looking for something light and fun I suggest maybe going elsewhere because this set of stories will speak to you in a completely different light. The author definitely captured me from beginning to end though and as an animal lover I truly appreciate the insight this author put into this book. Four stars and highly recommended!

Dreaming of Christmas: 5 complete, sweet holiday romances by Joanne Dannon. I love holiday stories. There’s just something about losing myself in some sweet stories when the world gets to be too much. Each of the stories in this set pulled at everyone of my heartstrings and I loved every minute of it. I’d say my favorite was probably Christmas kiss: but only for the Holidays. I just found myself completely hooked on that story but trust me each one is very easy to love. Each has characters you can’t help but connect with and root for. Each is well written and paced nicely never feeling rushed or lacking anything. I’m so glad I found this set of stories and could get lost in its pages for a while. Four big stars and highly recommended!

Fake Fiancé by Amy Mckinley was a really great read! While kind of predictable, this book was very enthralling in its story and characters. You kind of get two stories in one with this sweet romance, and it’s definitely a great one to read. I was instantly captures from the beginning, and it was hard to put down. The story was very well written, I got lost in the pages so often. The characters were great and I felt like I was right there in Italy with them all. This was not my first read from Mckinley, and it definitely did not disappoint. I highly recommend this novel!

HUNTED (HUNTED series Book 1) by Sarah Biglow & Molly Zenk – Review by Lisa Helmick

HuntedHunted by Sarah Biglow
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

This is a different look on vampires. Well a few of them anyway. The characters are plentiful and Edith is not a typical vampire. She lost her fiancée and has always kept an eye out for his family. Years later she gets a chance…an unbelievable chance but will she take it. It means doing something she never thought she would do. Darren has lost his parents to vampires. He dislikes them and became a Hunter. I think he was shocked meeting Edith and it left him feeling strange.

There is a lot of movement and action. But sadly there isn’t an ending. So there must be a second book in the works. It might be a soft conclusion but not a happy ever after. In fact, in the epilogue is where the title came from.

Overall it’s an okay story. It’s just not what I was expecting. I liked Edith and Darren. They are complete opposites. I just didn’t get any *feelings* from them. Or really any other characters.

This novel kicks off a new Jake Wolfe series from Mark Nolan. I loved how this book literally hits you in the face with action from the very beginning and keeps you on the edge of your seat until that very last chapter. I felt like I got so much with this novel and I am super excited that there will be more to come in the series with these characters.

This starts off with Jake Wolfe, a military vet who is working as a photojournalist in the prime of his days. At the moment he is following a hot lead on a story that will thrust him into the life of a high ranking lawyer. His goal is to simply dig up some details for his story and instead witnesses the lawyers murder! From there the ride is wild and full of twists and turns that are completely unpredictable. I can’t wait to get my hands on book two!

Unwrapped by Evelyn Sola – Review by Jenni Bishop

UnwrappedUnwrapped by Evelyn Sola
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Unwrapped by Evelyn Sola is a contemporary romance story. It is a Christmas story where there is fun and attraction, but also a bit of “taboo” as there is a bit of an age gap between Nick and Miranda and he is the boss of her mother. But none of that matters when it becomes an affair of the heart. I have mixed emotions above this tale because I felt the story was missing something, I wanted more, of what I am unsure but it could be because I didn’t gel with the characters to well. I found Nick was a bitter pill to swallow most of the time and I wanted to smack him. Miranda was tiring, childish and her indecisiveness drove me insane and I wanted to shake her and well then there is Mona who was just so plain annoying. But this is just my opinion here and at a quick look there are many more reviews who found this book exciting. So, give it a go because you just never know it may just be me.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Having read, ‘Want Me Always’ book one in Nolan’s ‘Heron Harbor’ series I was looking forward to being back in Heron Harbor and was not disappointed. This novel can be read happily as a standalone story but the setting and some of the characters do crossover books. In this engaging and enjoyable story, Raven Donovan is married to her job as Vice President of her company and is not looking for a relationship. Raven is then utterly blindsided and distraught when a corporate takeover leaves her suddenly unemployed. She goes to stay at her family’s beach house on Heron Harbor Island just to get away from it all and she intends to be alone with a bottle of tequila until a very tall, dark and handsome stranger arrives. Jack Baines is the heir to one of the largest private equity firms on the East Coast and has his latest conquest under his belt. However, instead of feeling great he is finding that having to fire people is taking a toll on him and this feeling outweighs the thrill of the hunt he used to enjoy. Jack heads off to the beach for some alone time only to find a half naked, beautiful women in his rental. Thanks to a raging storm Raven and Jack decide to share the house. Following a steamy night which leads to an even steamier weekend the pair discover how mush they actually have in common. That is until the revelation that it is Jack who has just taken over Raven’s company threatens to come between them before their relationship has a chance to develop.
This is a wonderfully written heartwarming romance which takes the reader on an emotional rollercoaster along with the two main characters. Both Raven and Jack are realistic and relatable characters which helped me feel engaged in the story. The storyline flows well and the descriptive narrative really brings both the setting of Heron Harbor and the characters to life. The plot has plenty of drama and romance in it to keep the reader happily turning the pages and I found I was hooked from start to finish. I definitely recommend this contemporary romance and I look forward to future books set in Heron Harbor.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I thoroughly enjoyed this heartwarming contemporary romance by Amy McKinley. The second chance at love, office romance storyline was both realistic and touching and I read this book in two settings as I was completely engaged with the characters and the story from start to finish. Adeline Rossi has a dream job lined up in Italy, far from her home and she has high career aspirations. However, when she arrives in the ‘city of love’, she finds that her new boss is not very welcoming and although he is hot he’s also grumpy. Meanwhile, business tycoon Stone Crenshaw is being plagued by unsettling dreams and can not wait for the renovations on his historic hotel to come to an end. Complicating things further for Stone is the fact that he feels an instant attraction to his new hire, Adeline, who seems to be somewhat accident prone. Adeline suddenly has the role of fake fiancé added to her list of responsibilities when Stone proclaims they are engaged in order to help his business. The news of their engagement is not welcomed by everyone and when obstacles threaten to split the couple up they realise that their fake relationship might not be so fake after all. Stone then has to decide whether he will cross a professional line or risk loosing Adeline for good. This is a wonderfully written romance with two very likeable and relatable main characters in Adeline and Stone. McKinley really brings the characters to life with her descriptive narrative. The story flows well and I was fully immersed in the story, so much so I was cheering Stone and Adeline on hoping they would get their happy ever after. A great read.
