The Finder of the Lucky Devil (The Lucky Devil Series) AUDIO by Megan Mackie – Review by Jennifer Wolbeck

The Finder of the Lucky Devil (Lucky Devil Series Book 1)The Finder of the Lucky Devil by Megan Mackie
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I read this as an audiobook and found it enjoyable overall. This is my first adult urban fantasy/cyberpunk read, and I liked the combination between magic and technology. The strongest point of this novel is its world building. There’s so many details and lore, from the collapse of the fairy court to the house of the lucky devil himself. The magic system and concept of second sight was also exciting, and I appreciated that they had a definite class system describing the level of magic a person could use.

However, this book wasn’t without its faults. Megan Mackie and Frank Sjodin did a great job narrating, but I didn’t care for how they chose to divvy up the reading parts. I would have preferred if Megan Mackie read everything, and Frank Sjodin only read St. Benedicts lines and chapters. Sometimes they would go by thoughts or narration and it sounded off. I also didn’t care for some of Mackie’s writing choices. Some details, paragraphs and conversation could have been trimmed for the sake of pacing. For example, the beginning of the book could have introduced Rune and St. Benedict faster.

The characterizations were also very hit or miss. I didn’t care for St. Benedict for most of the book, but I loved Rune, Allie the girl dog and Taki the mermaid. The title of the book was also a cute play on words. When I first picked up The Finder of the Luck Devil, I thought it was about a girl looking for a hot guy, a “lucky devil”, but it was literally Rune using her magical talent as a finder and her title being the heir of the Magdalene and the owner of The Lucky Devil bar.

Five Stars

The Rest of Forever is a paranormal story by Carrie Pulkinen. She is a new to me author, but I enjoyed this story so much I’m looking forward to reading to more books by Carrie. April and Damian are great characters. The book had me laughing out loud, and that to me makes a book GREAT. This is a special take on guardian angels. I couldn’t put his book down, and read it in one sitting.

Curt Bonnem is the narrator ’of this book. He really brought the characters to life. This is the first book by curt that I listened to by Curt. He is going on my favorite narrator list. This is definitely a five star listen!

Fake Fiancé (A Second Chance Office Romance) by Amy McKinley – Review by Jennifer Wolbeck

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

This is my first book from this author and I have absolutely fallen in love with Amy McKinley’s writing. I was expecting a short and sweet office romance between an assistant and her boss. Instead, I became heavily invested in Adeline and Stone within the first chapter of each respective character. McKinley did a fantastic job of giving Adeline and Stone more than just their appearances or wealth. They felt like individuals with their own personalities and dreams, and I would have enjoyed getting to know them and follow their stories whether there was a romance plot or not. It takes a lot of talent, attention to details, and good pacing to be able to pull off a novel like this, and Fake Fiancé: A Second Chance Office Romance has me thoroughly impressed.

Wildfire (The Broken Bow Book 2)Wildfire by Ashley A Quinn
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Wildfire (The Broken Bow Book 2) by Ashley A. Quinn and is a contemporary romance with suspense thrown into the mix. It is an engaging and well written story with strong characters. It is an emotional read that is both intriguing and gripping and I found myself fully immersed and lost in the story. All she wants is to put down roots and leave the past behind but just when things seem on the up the ugly past comes crashing back to the fore. He is trying to forget his past and start a fresh and he may have just found the one person to help him on his way.

This was an engaging and emotional romantic suspense which had me gripped from the first page. Main character Tara Miller is home again after years away travelling the world and she’s determined to put her painful past behind her but she’s being stalked. With the distraction of her family and a new restaurant Tara finally feels she is healing. Then, she meets Jace Travers and the more Tara try’s to avoid him the harder it gets. Jace moved to Silver Gap, Colorado to become the Chief Deputy in order to avoid the memories of his wife and daughter. However, Jace is instantly intrigued by the sister of his Sheriff, Tara and her attempts at trying to avoid him just make him even keener to learn more about her. But when Tara’s past comes back to haunt her things turn deadly for them both.
I found myself immersed in this story and felt engaged with the characters all of whom were well defined, and I found the fiery and strong Tara who is a real survivor particularly likeable and relatable. I enjoyed the romance elements of the storyline and the chemistry between Tara and Jace did come across in the narrative. Quinn really made the characters and the setting come alive with her descriptive writing and the suspenseful plot moved the story along at a fast pace. I found that I could not put this book down and read late into the night, always a sign of a good book. I look forward to reading the previous book in ‘The Broken Bow’ series and any future ones.

5 out of 5 stars

Second Chance eX-mas is the first I’ve read by N.D. Jackson but it most certainly will not be the last. I don’t read very many second chance romance novels because I often feel the plots to be too corny or redundant but this one certainly surpasses all expectations. I was drawn into the story line right away and something about the author’s writing style was intriguing and familiar. I was drawn to Ally and her interaction with Cindy right away.
I love when books are written in multiple point of views and with the plot of this book, I thought it was great to see things from Archer’s perspective. Overall, I can’t say enough about this book and highly recommend it. Especially if you like a sweet romance during the holidays.

Run To The Sea is the first book in K.G. Fletcher’s Reigning Hearts series. A fantastic start to the Reigning Hearts series. This novel is based in a sleepy Florida seaside town. I enjoyed from beginning to end. She has a writing style that is easy to read and her stories flow really well. I. G. FLETCHER had created some amazing characters and Thomas and Emeline were no exceptions. I love a second chance romance how these two absolutely interact with each other. You root for these two.

Revel by Alden Elway
4 Stars!!!!

I have yet again found a new author and a new series to read. I thoroughly enjoyed the story. I like
how there is drama and some intrigue mixed in with a little romance. I like that this book had a little complexity to the plot and a bit of drama. The characters really jumped off of the pages and I felt as though I was right there in the thick of the action.

I really like how the main character Revel comes to her Alpha not just for the pack but in a ways for
herself as well. I like how there is an underlying unknown and that the author brings it out. I could feel the complexity of Revel’s emotions as she goes through the events. I really look forward to reading more from this author and this series.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is a non-fiction book that talks about the rescue of 124 dogs and how their fate was changed by a few animal lovers. This was a difficult book for me to read because of the content. What the book does is bring awareness to a problem that I think is more common than others realize. This book talks about what happens in a small town and the process that happened with the rescued dogs. This was an emotional story for me but I am happy that there is a positive ending.

I enjoyed this fantasy book. This is my first book by this author which I look forward to seeing what is next for them. This is a well written story that is full of ancient secrets, pasts and a darkness that could either bring ruin or salvation. The characters bring the story to fantasy to life and a journey that will keep you turning pages to the end. Sabiya has been living in a town all her life where women are treated as if they are worth little and can be replaced at any time. This is where she starts her journey but before she can really get started she is kidnapped, rescued and brought back to the very city she is escaping. You will need to read this book to find out what happens next which I highly recommend doing. The characters made this story for me. I felt for this young girl she struggled through her journey but she is strong. This made for a great afternoon read.

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

Not the first book I’ve read by Fletcher, but a must read like this brought me back. She knows how to capture her readers attention and keep it.

Lauren doesn’t expect to fall in love within a couple of days, but it happens. She is living her life doing what she loves doing. When she meets the supermodel things change drastically. The quote I chose for Lauren is: “I’m just really happy in this moment with you and I don’t want it to end.”

David is used to his career being the only thing in his life. On a Friday night he meets someone who turns his world upside down. In a good way. The quote I chose for David is: “It’s chemistry. It’s adoration. It’s unexplainable, really. All I know is I want more. I don’t know what that looks like entirely, but if we stick together, I believe the two of us can explore something truly special.”

Highly recommended for contemporary romance lovers.

Rick is a Marine and gay. No one knows and will never know. Six years go by and he’s heartbroken. He meets his brother’s new co-worker and falls hard and fast. The quote I chose for Rick is: “It’s none of your business.”

The quote I chose for Brent is: “I get it, but I hope you understand now. I’m not going back to Houston. Even if things don’t work out with Rick, I’m going to stay in Willowbrook.

This is the first book I’ve read by Jackson, but it won’t be my last. This book gives every second chance lover what they’re looking for. Christmas and exes coming together.

Ally is a single mom to a six year old she loves with everything in her. Lately her daughter is wanting to meet her dad and Ally isn’t sure if that’ll happen. When she learns that her ex is coming back to town things change. The quote I chose for Ally is: “Me too. My biggest worry all these years was that I didn’t have enough family to give Glory all the love and attention she deserves, but today, watching the way she lit up so easily with Finn and Stephen, I felt like crying.”

Archer walked away from the love of his life and never looked back. When he comes home he finds that things have changed. He’s got a kid He doesn’t know. The quote I chose for Archer is: “Yes, that’s how ice skating works. I’ll be right there with her. Holding her hand and cushioning her fall. This is something I can teach her, Ally.”

Revel (The Howl Series, #1)Revel by Alden Elway
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This paranormal wolf shifter romance has plenty of action, drama, mystery and suspense which had me hooked from start to finish. Revel Finley is a female wolf shifter and as a female her pack has certain expectations of her and although she is loved she is also controlled. The forest is her sanctuary and the place she can be and feel free. One rule is not to be spotted by humans, so Revel is concerned when she is spotted by conservation officer Jaime but then she breaks another rule when she realises that Jaime is her mate. Shifters are forbidden from having a human mate but secrets are hard to keep within the pack especially when a new wolf the arrogant and annoyingly good looking Daniel seems to be following her around. However, when hikers start to go missing in her forest and then bodies are found with injuries that look like an animal attack things become dangerous for the whole pack. Wolves have been spotted too close to town and the locals have started rumours and Revel and the pack worry that the humans will learn about them, the wolf shifters. Revel also has to face the truth about who she really is.
This is a fast paced and action packed novel with a wolf shifter storyline but with a twist. The mystery elements of the plot kept me guessing until the end and I was gripped by the whole story. The narrative flows well making it an easy and enjoyable read and I felt engaged with the characters who really come alive, as does the setting due to the descriptive writing. I liked the main character, Revel as she was both likeable and relatable and I enjoyed the forbidden romance element between her and Jaime, who’s chemistry really came across in the story. I look forward to future books in this series.

Will she find the one thing she seeks or will her life become something she doesn’t recognise? I did have some issues with the story but in general it was an interesting read.

This was a very enjoyable read for me. As soon as I started reading this book I couldn’t put it down. I found this story to be original in many ways. This book has secrets, romance, danger, suspense, great characters and so much more. Revel is a strong, independent character that I grew to like and I found myself at the edge of my seat wanting to know what was going to happen with her. Revel is very close to her family and there are certain expectations for a female wolf, she can’t help but feel different and want more. What happens when all her secrets come out? There are other great characters in this story that you don’t want to miss out on. This is the first book I have read by this author and I am glad I did, this author wrote with such vivid detail that I felt like I was right there in it. I can’t wait to read what’s next.

Now Archer is determined to get to know his daughter and, hopefully, get to know her mother. Ally isn’t going to make it easy for Archer…but sometimes old flames don’t completely die out.
I enjoyed this story from beginning to end. Ally is a strong, independent woman and I love how she handled Archer coming back into her life. I can understand where her feelings were coming from and I enjoyed watching their relationship grow and evolve since they are adults and not the children they when they last saw each other. This was a cute story of reigniting old flames while coming to terms with the changes life has thrown their way.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I loved this sweet and steamy Christmas romance which had me hooked from page one. Although a fairly short book it was packed full of, romance, emotions, family dramas and wonderful characters. Set in a small town called Blissful, childhood sweethearts Ally and Archer get a second chance at love when Archer returns to his hometown after leaving the military. Archer is determined to win back the women who he left behind but has always loved but Ally can still not get over the heartbreak she suffered when he left her. Archer gets a big surprise when he meets Ally’s daughter Glory and realises that when he left Ally she was pregnant. Although Ally is happy for Archer to spend time with and get to know his daughter she is less keen to spend time with him herself, despite his best efforts and that of his Mum who is a doting Grandmother to Glory.

When a steamy kiss leads to an even steamier night together they both recognise that the chemistry they shared is still definitely there and as they spend time together as family leading up to Christmas Ally realises that she has always loved Archer and still does. Archer has a Christmas Eve gift for Ally that he hopes will ensure that they can both let go of the past and have a happy future together that lasts beyond Christmas Day.

Full of Christmas magic and the festive spirit this is a lovely lighthearted and heartwarming novella. I loved all the characters and they all added to the overall story. The chemistry between Archer and Ally sizzled off the page. The author made both the characters and the setting of Blissful at Christmas time really come alive. The narrative flowed well and I felt immersed in the story. An enjoyable and engaging Christmas romance with a real feel good factor.
