The Bullet Theory (Dr. Nolan Mills Book 1) by Sonya Jesus – Review by Angela Hayes

The Bullet Theory (Dr. Nolan Mills, #1)The Bullet Theory by Sonya Jesus
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

 

The Bullet Theory is the first book in the Dr. Nolan Mills series by Sonya Jesus. It is such an intriguing and exciting start to her new series and something a little different from the other books of hers that I have read.
I love the original and clever premise to the story- and love that Sonya Jesus had me wondering how things would play out for most of the way through the book. It definitely captured my attention, as well as my imagination- I couldn’t put it down for fear of missing something. So, I ended up reading it in one thrilling session- and came away wanting more (in a good way).
This book is a fully contained story, so there is not major cliffhanger as such- but it does leave room for more instalments- sooooo, I really can’t wait to get my hands on the next book to find out where we go from here. I neeeeed book two- STAT!!!! I volunteer to do all of Sonya Jesus’s housework, cooking, cleaning, and any other chores- just so she can concentrate on getting the next book done ASAP 😊.
As with her other books, this story was a wonderfully detailed and descriptive- and Sonja Jesus created quite a lot of intensity, intrigue, and tension- making me think- wondering where the story was leading and pretty much kept me guessing the whole way through.
This is a gripping story told from several POV’s- which really gave a great perspective of what was going on- while creating enough intrigue and suspense to keep me completely invested in the outcome.
As I have mentioned in the past, Ms. Jesus is quite skilled when it comes to character her development. Creating characters who are fully realised individuals, with interesting and complex personalities, quirk, and flaws. They really were so interesting- and the story was all the more exciting for their involvement.
With murder, mystery, suspense, jealousy, betrayal, revenge, dirty deals, flashbacks, tension, emotion, and romance- this book is a must read. Seriously, go grab a copy and dive in- you will be happy you did!
There is absolutely no doubt that I will be reading the next book! I need it like, yesterday!!!

Thank you, Sonya Jesus!

High Heels And MistletoeHigh Heels And Mistletoe by C.A. King
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

It’s a good Christmas themed romance by C.A. King. I really enjoyed her Wendigo Forest so was excited to start this. I really liked the characters in the book and you can’t help but root for Julietta when she begins to learn the joy of Christmas and Luke thinking he’s found what’s been missing in his life.
A curveball is thrown and I loved watching this two dance around each other, building their relationship and them growing together. It was so cute and sweet and I loved it!
Like its everything you want in a Christmas story, romance and magic you can’t help but love.
This is another great Christmas read and is really getting me in the mood for Christmas!

The North Wind Descends (The Lord Hani Mysteries Book 4) by N.L. Holmes – Review by Francis O’Sullivan

/0 Comments/in /by

The North Wind DescendsThe North Wind Descends by N.L. Holmes
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The North Wind Descends is the fourth book in N.L. Holmes’ fascinating Lord Hani Mysteries series. Like the previous books, it is an enticing mystery with a vivid historical setting in Ancient Egypt. Holmes draws on a strong academic background to build a setting that is full of detail and accuracy of everyday and court life.
The main duo, Hani and Maya, are something of an Egyptian Sherlock Holmes and John Watson (Holmes’ nom de plume leaves readers in no doubt of this influence!). Maya, Hani’s son-in-law, is more than happy to assist the newly decorated Master of the King’s Stable, as he is always excited to go home and tell the stories of their adventures.
As the series has progressed, Hani’s children are getting older and more established, and so add more layers to the story. Hani’s son Pa-kiki, who is working as a scribe, joins his father on his parts of his adventure. Hani’s daughter Neferet’s work as a healer has given her access to, and opinions about, the royal family which may well get her into danger.
My favourite thing about this series is how real the world feels. Holmes gives us plenty of details, such as what food is eaten and even what smells there are, without drawing away from the pacing of the story. The book really transports readers to a different time and place.
For me, this is a five-star read. I’d recommend it to mystery fans wanting something a bit different, as well as anyone who needs a change of scenery without leaving their homes!

Dreaming of ChristmasDreaming of Christmas by Joanne Dannon
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Dreaming of Christmas: 5 complete, sweet holiday romances by Joanne Dannon is a great collection of holiday romances that are sure to get you in the festive spirit. These are all sweet, heartwarming stories that will have you believe in the magic of Christmas for sure. They are nice easy reads meaning they are easy to pass away an afternoon or two getting lost in the great characters.
These are the first books that I have read by this author I enjoyed the pacing of the books. They were well developed and all had a different enough storyline that you couldn’t get them mixed up. I enjoyed each of the characters as well – they all seemed to work so well together and I definitely found myself invested in each of the couples. This was a really good collection and I would recommend it for sure.

The Sound of Silence by Dakota Willink – Review by Angela Hayes

The Sound of SilenceThe Sound of Silence by Dakota Willink
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

 

The Sound of Silence (Leave me Breathless World) by Dakota Willink has a bit of a “Sleeping With the Enemy” feel to it. It is a romantic suspense with some dark undertones that made for a compelling read.
Please note that the story could be considered a trigger for some readers- with domestic violence and abuse playing a part in the story.
Gianna and Ethan seem to be the perfect couple from the outside looking in. But appearances can be so deceiving. Life is anything but perfect- shattering Gianna’s happily ever after dream. Ethan, seems to be the perfect husband. A policeman would keep her safe- right? But who can she turn to when her husband, the cop, is her abuser? She has no choice but to escape and start over. But the past has a way of popping up when you least expect it- making for a gripping read.
Confronting. Intense. Gripping. Emotive. Sensitive topic. Dark themes. Dramatic developments. Honest. Raw. Realistic and believable. Suspenseful. Recommended reading.
Looking forward to more from Ms. Willink!

Thank you, Dakota Willink!

My rating: 3 of 5 stars

3 Stars

Unwrapped is a sexy holiday story by Evelyn Sola. As this is my first read by Ms. Sola, I really didn’t know what to expect going in- but as you know by now, I do love a good Christmas/holiday story, so I was only too happy to dive in.
Unfortunately, this didn’t quite hit the mark for me. It was quite slow to get going, and I really had trouble connecting with the characters, or their story- the whole thing leaving me wanting. Nick rubbed me up the wrong way right from the beginning, and I just didn’t connect with Miranda at all, no matter how hard I tried. It’s an ok story, but I really did want to love this book so much more than I did.
I’ll revisit this book again in a few weeks to see if I still feel the same way, or if maybe I was just having an ‘off’ reading day.
I would be interested in exploring more of Ms. Sola’s work to see what else she can do.

Thank you, Evelyn Sola!

So he heads to the beach for some alone time, never expecting to find a half-naked, dark-haired beauty in his rental.
With a storm raging outside, Raven and Jack end up sharing more than just the house. A scorching night turns into a red-hot weekend that reveals how much they have in common—including Raven’s ex-company. That revelation threatens everything they’ve found unless they fight to build something new…together.

The first, The Lust Boat, was born of an idea acquired while on a Caribbean cruise with her family and soon blossomed into a five-book series originally published by Red Sage.

Roz has been married to her best friend, and high school sweetheart, for nearly four decades. Roz and her husband have two grown daughters, a son-in-law, and are the proud grandparents to the cutest little boy ever. Roz and her husband live in the wilds of New Jersey with their Labrador Retriever, Bud which is code for Big Unruly Dog.

Even though Roz has lived on both coasts, her heart lies in between, in Texas. A Texan by birth, she can trace her family back to the Republic of Texas. With roots that deep, she says, “You can’t ever really leave.”

When Roz isn’t writing, she’s reading, or traipsing around the country on one adventure or another. No trip is too small, no tourist trap too cheesy, and no road unworthy of travel.
