Unwrapping NoelUnwrapping Noel by Jennifer Theriot
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This audio book had me laughing within the first chapter. Noel is hilarious and real I can feel myself in her. She’s a true inner womens dialogue. A women scron is not one to be messed with.
Dave what a dickhead. He is what you call a despicable human been. If your ears are delicate you may need an adjustment. Leon is amazing I love his character. The narrative who does this book both female and male do. It very well.
I have throughly enjoy all the voices who have done this audio book. I listen to this book in one sitting it is brilliant and I would highly recommend it to someone who wants a realistic romance story with the real world aspects.

Eye of Death (Vampire State Book 3) by Alexander Charalambides – Review by Sunday Barnaby

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Eye of Death: A Paranormal Romance by Alexander Charalambides
Four Stars

Eye of Death is the third book in the Vampire State series by Alexander Charalambides. This series should be read in order, if you haven’t read the first two books, I highly recommend you go back and read them first. All of the books are excellent, but you need the backstory from the first two to really understand all of the nuances of this book. Rowena is back and trying to figure out which path she needs to take. This book hooked me from the first page and I just couldn’t put it down until I finished the last.Alexander Charalambides has a very interesting take on vampires that makes the story not like other vampire romance. If you love Paranormal Vampire Books, I highly recommend this one.

Fighting for Us (Love is Worth Fighting For Book 1) by Bella Emy – Review by Rosanna Ingram

Fighting for Us (Love is Worth Fighting For #1)Fighting for Us by Bella Emy
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This story will pull you in from the beginning!

Both Lorenzo and Carissa are broken characters. Lorenzo had a wife and his beautiful baby daughter, until his wife was taken away from him and he was left as a widowed father. Carissa was engaged to the man she was planning on spending forever with. However, when her fiancé runs off, she stops believing that happily ever after actually exists. However, a night out sets them on a course that will have them questioning if love is worth fighting for.

I enjoyed both of these characters…and the secondary characters were wonderful as well. Lorenzo’s family and Carissa’s support system are awesome! Lorenzo and Carissa both have pasts that have jaded them against love and relationships…but there is something some magnetic about their chemistry that they keep getting pulled back together. They both have issues to overcome and the author does a great job of working through them. This was a pretty quick read that I devoured in one sitting.

This is one of the first books that I have read by Bella Emy…but it won’t be the last!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I enjoyed this romance story. It is a shorter story that packs a real punch for romance. I was pulled into the story right from the beginning and it certainly kept me turning pages to the end. This is an engaging story about Fiona and Connor. She is asked to tutor a football player but what she doesn’t realize is that she is about to face someone from her past. The problem is that he left her all that time ago, will he make amends with her? Connor is determined to have her back and show her he isn’t leaving this time. What happens next you will need to read this book. They are such great characters and really made the story easy to read for me. Their chemistry is awesome and couldn’t wait to see if they get their HEA. I highly recommend reading their story and this author

I enjoyed this fantasy story. It is a story that is full of magic, fun characters and even some romance. This is a well developed story that has great details that make the story realistic.

Rick: Ingram Brothers #3 by Roz Lee – Review by Karyn Taylor

Rick (Ingram Brothers #3)Rick by Roz Lee
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Rick is the 3rd book in the Ingram Brothers series by Roz Lee. This book can be read as a standalone. I had not read any of the previous two books and did not feel that I was missing any necessary information. Although now having met all 3 brothers in this book, I’d like to go back and get the stories of the others two brothers Jake and Will.
Unlike Jake and Will’s stories, Rick is an M/M romance. I don’t read a lot of M/M romance but do usually enjoy them when I do and I really enjoyed this book very much as there was so much going on that just the M/M sex scenes although I must point out that they were HOT!
I really enjoyed Rick and Brent’s story. Rick is ex-military and has kept his sexuality hidden. He is well and truly still in the closet. Thanks to his brother he now has Brent as his roommate but the attraction between the 2 is off the charts and they soon can’t keep their hands off each other.
I was really rooting for Rick to come out to his brothers but I’m sure he never expected them to find out the way they did. That was one of my favourite scenes and I won’t spoil it by saying what happened but it’s definitely worth a read for this scene alone.

The Last Christmas by Seelie Kay – Review by Bobbi Wagner

The Last ChristmasThe Last Christmas by Seelie Kay
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I loved this Christmas book. It is full of Christmas spirit, magic and of course, it would not be Christmas without Santa. This is a well written story that brings hope to a difficult topic for some. The characters bring the story to life and bring lots of emotions. This is a shorter story that I found to be engaging and fast paced. This is a story about a family whose father is dying of cancer. Santa steps in and tells his wife that she must keep him alive. She wonders how when she has no medical training or skills. Will she and the rest of the family learn the true meaning of a miracle? This is such a great story and the characters are amazing. It will show you the true meaning of Christmas. I highly recommend this book and this author.

The Rest of Forever (Audio Tour) by Carrie Pulkinen – Review by Meg Tyrrell

This is my first book by Carrie Pulkinen. It was a great story idea with humans and angels. I loved this story. It is a love story between two guardians – as in guardian angels. It gives the idea of how the angels become guardians and extremely detailed. These two characters have some baggage to work through, but it is a great read. The narrators were fantastic. They helped get me into this story easily. I recommend it! Can’t wait to see what this author has coming up next.

The Nearness of You: A British celebrity, standalone love-at-first-sight romance by K.G. Fletcher – Review by Kerry Carr

The Nearness of YouThe Nearness of You by K.G. Fletcher
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is a very sweet romance. It was an enjoyable read with characters that were well written and you can’t help but fall in love with them. This book gives you all the feelings from excitement and love, to tears and sadness. There are also twist and turns which keep you guessing which I liked as its not a straight forward boy meets girl and falls in love.

Lauren is an aspiring singer on the local bars. She wonders if she will ever get her big break. What she doesn’t expect is to bump into a famous model during one of her shows.

David is in town for his sisters wedding when he hears Lauren sing and instantly falls for her. After spending time together he realises he needs to be with her so asked her to come with him for his big launch.

But not everyone is happy for David and Lauren. Will their spark grow into a fire? Will Lauren be too much of a distraction for David? Will their careers suffer for their romance or will they make it work?

Five-Alarm Christmas is a fun short and extremely hot novella by Melinda Valentine. This book takes less than fifteen minutes to read, but it really packs a spicy punch. It is a one night stand that may last forever. Melinda Valentine is a new author to me, but I look forward to reading more books by her. I really want to know what happens to Finley and Garrett.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Second Chance eX-mas by N.D. Jackson so much packed into so few pages in this Glorious five-star read. Ally has everything how she wants it, she is working hard, but doing good work. But there is always the one who got away, would you ever be able to extinguish that old tiny flame? As it may be tiny, but its ultimately very strong. Then you have Archer, who is strong and tuff and has been fighting but now he may need to fight harder than ever. This was a great story, short and spicy and filled with festive spirit.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Bake Believe by Cori Cooper a cute and imaginative five-star read. I simply adored this story, it was so charming, sweet and funny, not what I have come to expect from a typical teenage story, it was so much better. But this is so much more than just a story, its also got some great recipes as well, so you feel like you are part of the magic of the story. Cat and her bestie/cousin Robyn will make you wish you had friends like them at their age.

5 stars!

I always love a good holiday themed read, and this one did it for me. Although short and sweet, it had everything I needed to fall in love with this book. The characters were well developed and I was quickly turning the pages to find out what happens with Archer and Ally and of course Glory. Their story is sweet, beautiful and their second chance at love and a life together had me excited. The drama involved with Archer being in the military and him leaving everything by behind gave the story that little extra kick. I really look forward to reading more from this author.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is the first book by author Bella Emy that I’ve read. I really loved the relationship between Lorenzo and Carissa, how they were drawn together from the moment they met. Similar to most couples, the two have their ups and downs which helped me relate to them. Its great to see that both Lorenzo and Carissa have strong support, which in my experience means a lot. I really am happy that I picked up this book and found these characters to be genuine. I will definitely be looking for more books by this author!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Cemetery Tour: A Walk Through the Old Yard by Stuart Ledwith was a great read! I enjoyed reading this novel more than his past that I’ve read, maybe because it felt more like fiction, and telling tales than just being a non-fiction book. I enjoyed reading every story that was told from the ghosts. Whether they were real or not, and whether these were just made up or actually told, they were very enjoyable to read, and went by really quickly. I’m glad I picked this book up to read. Definitely a page turner.

Another trip through history with some drama and action. This is the second book I have read from this author and I once again was taken back in history and even though fiction thouroughly enjoyed this book. The characters really just jump off of the pages for me and I found myself just lost in the book.

I really like how the author is able to bring the chracters to life and draw out the story. I like that
there is a balance of action and drama. The twists and turns in the book keep the reader glued to the pages. The author just brings everything together well and has the reader wanting more. I will definitely read more from this author in the future.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book was really interesting. It follows the authors through his walks through the cemetery. I have read several books by this author and I love the way he retells people’s stories. In this book he tells the stories of the some of the people who are buried there. The good and bad. The loves and losses. And what made them special even if they didn’t realise it in life.

Each person he talks to and retells their story is an interesting person. All with different paths in life and different stories to tell.

The author tells the stories with compassion, never adding facts to make it more dramatic. The stories are genuine written by genuine people who just want to get their lives remembered and known. With the help of the compassionate author they were able to do that.

This is my first book by Amy Michelle Carpenter. I normally don’t read too many books that involve aliens. That being said, this was an excellent book! I loved all of the characters. Carter is our human main character, he’s a sweet boy who is very helpful. Kokab is a foxian (alien) and wants to be perfect on her planet. She’s chosen to go to Earth and see if it’s a good place for her planet to come visit. Ags is from a different planet that produces guardians to keep other planets safe. Ags is the guardian of Earth and will do anything to protect it. It’s a great read and one I couldn’t put down.

Be Brave with Me (Finding Love in Green Springs Book 1) AUDIO BOOK by CA Miconi – Review by Jenique Bornman

J.B Havens & CA Miconi joined forces in this heartwrenching romance.
Meg & Drew are both broken, they have both lost someone close to them.
Meg is on the run from her heartbreak and ends up in the small town Green Springs. There she runs into Drew, also heartbroken.
They keep on running into each other….. will these to people begin to heal….. you’ll have to read it to find out.

Both these MC’s are amazing and well written but I must say that I was drawn more towards Meg with her foul mouth and cheeky attitude.

Tyler and Tara also did and absolutely superb job with the narration of this book. I’m definitely checking to find more books narrated by them.

The Nearness of You: A British celebrity, standalone love-at-first-sight romance by KG Fletcher. This author has truly stolen many pieces of my heart with other books so I knew getting this one was a no brained for me. And of course once again I lost a couple more pieces! Each character brings something unique to the storyline and they had me so completely drawn into their world I definitely lost all track of time and I loved every minute of it. The storyline has a nice steady flow that gives readers exactly what they need. The characters are complex and relatable, each one written in the greatest details. The author put in every feeling she wanted felt and I felt them all from beginning to end. Can’t wait to see where the author takes readers next. Five stars all the way and highly recommended!

Four Stars

I enjoy a good paranormal story. Especially one done right. This definitely wasn’t typical. You have Revel a female shifter trying to discover who she is and what she is meant to do in life. Living what seems to be in the 1920’s where women are loved but controlled. I liked that the forest was her place of peace. That in all the crazy there was a place for her to breathe and just be. Until there wasn’t. That place became a crime scene. I really liked Jamie. Daniel was too full of himself for me. Overall the story was very interesting. I liked how Revel came into her own. Found her self worth and stood up for what she believed. There is a lot of action and it is very intense. The forbidden fruit of having a human mate isn’t new but was a nice bonus to the story.

Revel (The Howl Series, #1) by Alden Elway was a good 4 star read.
It took me a bit to get pulled fully into the story but once I got past a certain point I couldn’t put it down.

Revel is a female pack member who is trying to find herself. She breaks one of the biggest cardinal rules of the pack, don’t be seen by humans. When she goes to tell her brother what happened, she sees the man walking out with her brother. The man happens to be a conservation officer. There is something about him that pulls Revel in, but another rule is the wolves can’t have a human for a mate. But she can’t help herself, she starts to see him on the sly.

Things take another twist and the pack members find body parts. It appears that the attacks may be animal related. What will happen when the pack finds out the truth? What will happen with Jamie?

Overall this was a great thrilling read. All of the characters added a great element to the story. I really liked Revel, I felt bad for her at times because all she wanted was to be loved and not controlled by her family. If you like this paranormal romance you will enjoy this one. 1-click and get started today.
