My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is my first time reading a book from this author and I’m so glad I took the chance! The author pens a story that is original, captivating, and addictive! I wish I had more time to read it all at once! Harlow is going through her own trauma from missing her parents, and refusing to follow in their footsteps. She decides to make her own way, which leads to her own level of trouble. This magic sword she steals chooses her and takes her captive, and then brings a world of hurt to her life. Harlow fights hard for her life and ends up on the run. With every turn of the page I was on the edge of my seat as this amazing a story developed! Now on to book 2!

Born in Darkness (Mafia Elite, #3)Born in Darkness by Amy McKinley
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Have you read Books 1 and 2? You dont have to, because this is a good standalone but the backstories of everyone blend well into each other if you have already read one and two.
This was action packed and I don’t want to give away spoilers but I will say there are dramatic moments and we all want to see if Em and Stefano wind up together because they have been in love since forever but there’s always arranged marriages in the Mafia family and there is talk of human trafficking so readers beware. There are dope women though who can kick some ass and that’s what we are here for. There is major empowerment in these books. Hard to put down and I am ready for more.

This was a truly intriguing book that caught my attention with the conversation between Liz and Dan. It built from there. The story was well-written. The topic was interesting and well-researched. The characters felt like they could have been pulled right out of the community, very relatable. Intense, intriguing and a very goood read. I enjoyed this book.

Unlikely to Stay (A Parker Lake Novel Book 3)Unlikely to Stay by Ashlie Knapp
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is book three of the series and can be read as a standalone. I highly recommend reading the whole series because each book is fantastic!

Colleen is Parker’s only hairstylist. She’s not had much stability in her life and lacks confidence so she really tries to steer clear of many people. Brant has never had any ties accept for his adoptive mother. If he can stay in Parker for three years, his school loans are free and clear. He’s sure he will walk away after three years no problem. Best laid plans and all that. Brant and CC meet after an auction date is purchased for CC. Both of them have baggage that weighs them down. Will these two work passed the demons of their past or will it all be too much?

I really enjoyed this book, much like the others in the series. I couldn’t put it down! CC struggles with confidence but works to help everyone else feel great about themselves. She’s so selfless. I really enjoyed both CC and Brant as characters. I highly recommend!

Dark Bastard (Dark Sparrow, #5)Dark Bastard by India Kells
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The heat between Sam and Ellie is smoldering but there’s a much deeper connection between them, just longing to be explored. Fate had Sam dial Ellie’s number that night when they were each so close to ending it all. They found a lifeline in each other and the evil monster that is his father brought them even closer together. When I read what that monster did to Sam when he was a young boy my heart absolutely broke for him. No child should have to go through that. Ellie is just the gentle soul that he needed to begin to heal his wounds and allow him to feel his heart again and give him a reason to live. There is so much action and danger in this story and so much heartbreak, until the very amazing ending that took my breath away. This story is incredible and absolutely one not to be missed!

States of Grace (Grace Locke Mystery Series) by Mandy Miller

4 out of 5 Stars

Grace Locke is a mystery. Grace was a highly successful prosecutor with an Ivy League education. Now she is defending court-appointed clients in order to regain her bar certificate. Grace joined the military out of a sense of duty. She is now a vet with PTSD and missing a leg. Grace used to live in the richest neighborhood in Miami. She now lives in a rundown motel owned by an ex-ganster that she wrongfully convicted but got out. Grace’s life is a study in contradictions.

When Zoe Slim is accused of murdering her guidance counselor, Grace believes that this high profile case that could put her back on top or closer to the top. Grace convinces her soon-to-be-ex-husband to convince Zoe’s mom, Gretchen, to hire Grace. Grace artfully uses the unique characters that now share her life to solve this crime. Could Zoe actually be innocent? Who would want to frame her?

The suspense is wonderfully tense. The characters are delightfully flawed. The legal procedures are masterful. I want to be in the gallery the next time Grace defends her clients. This series has a permanent space in my book case!

This is such a great crime read. I love Graces character and her motivation to prove Zoe’s innocence. Trying to move on and heal from her own personal stuff Grace has to push through to save Zoe. The race to find the truth keeps you wanting more. I loved the authors writing. The words and story line just really flow and make for a great read. I definitely would not be opposed to reading more about Grace!

Tally and her angel, Jophiel, are back for another adventure. This time they will face a mystery and evil forces in Canada. This is a great read for young readers. It’s exciting with plenty of action throughout. Another thing I loved about this book is that Tally learns about bravery and sacrifice. At the same time she also learns how people survive in the Yukon in Canada.

Unlikely to Stay (Parker Lake) by Olivia Sherwood

4 out of 5 Stars

Colleen “CC” Chandler is a hairstylist in small-town Oklahoma. CC has lived there most of her life. She doesn’t plan on going anywhere. CC owns the salon and another building that she has plans for, if she can ever get the money.

Brant Billings is in the same smalltown but not because he wants to be. Brant has found a way to get his student loans forgiven, spend 3 years in rural America where there is limited access to health care. He is two and half years in. Brant noticed the extremely attractive hairstylist shortly after getting to town but she, CC, seems to avoid him.

Brant agrees to partake in a bachelor auction that the town is holding to raise funds to help CC make her dream for her extra building come true. This is just the start of CC and Brant being in the same place at the same time. As their mutual attraction grows, so does their friendship. Will this be the beginning of something special? When his time is up, is Brant gone?

This endearing tale of love and finding more than what you expect is cleverly written. The colorful cast of characters grab you from the start. The townsfolk keep the excitement and the laughs coming. Be prepared to laugh out loud, like milk (or water, in my case) coming out of the nose laughing! I am just jumping into this series but I plan to make a u-turn and find out what I missed. Great read with a little steam!!!

It’s impossible to go wrong with this author or this series. I’m thrilled to be brought back into the Consulate and meet another Master. While each of these books could be read as a standalone, I love that we learn a bit more with each installment and get a peek back into our beloved past characters. This author truly is a master of her own right with creating otherworldly delicious characters and sucking the reader into another world of her own making. If you like your male characters to be dark, dominant, sexy, and passionate, read this entire series now!

This book read like a movie. Captured my interest from page one. It’s action packed, full of mystery and murder and nothing or no one is what it appears to be. Grace is quite the character. She’s tough but has a soft side for the truth. I thought the plot was clever. From character names to the story details. Definitely recommend.

Oh, how I loved this book! Such a great story of judging a book by it’s supposed cover! The story of CC and Brant is fantastic read! The characters are well developed, and it gives more back story into previous characters mentioned. The friendships are very easy to relate to and the women building each other up is lovely to read and visualize. I want to be friends with these people and live in their town! The old people humor cracks me up and makes me think that I haven’t been around enough of them, LOL This was a fun book to end my year reading! Looking forward to reading more books from the Parker Lake area soon!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is a phenomenal story. Crime is a genre that I don’t pick up very often, but this one had such an awesome story and wholly believable characters that I couldn’t put it down. Grace is an intelligent, flawed, sometimes self-doubting, relatable character that keeps fighting even when the chips are down. I loved her vulnerability, and willingness to keep pushing forward even the face of strong adversity, and especially even in the face of her own self-doubt. She has to re-learn how to lawyer, how to walk, how to adult, and how to be an authentic version of this person she has become. The mystery of the whodunnit had me wrapped in circles trying to untangle it, and I still wasn’t able to do it in time at the end of the novel. So many great side characters, including the retired mob man with a heart of gold Vinny, and the big black badass ASA Marcus who is Grace’s loving friend and confidante. The motley crew of people that helped hold Grace together become a family of sorts, and the way she is able to find love and confidence in those that truly have her back made me so happy.

Born in Darkness (Mafia Elite #3) by Amy McKinley

Not the first book I’ve read by the author. The author has many great books, but this is by far my favorite series. Born in Darkness is the third book in the Mafia Elite Series. Each book is amazing on its own.

Stefano is planning on taking over as the others already have. He has had feelings for Emiliana for a while now, but he wants to keep it a secret. That’s until something happens to her. The quote I chose for Stefano is: “Is she in Italy? The trafficking ring was dismantled over four years ago.”

Emiliana is the younger sister of Enzo. Therefore she’s very well protected and not just by her brother. All their friends protect her as well. Stefano being the most important one. The quote I chose for Emiliana is: “I’m not fragile. I wanted that and more. Stop acting like I’ll break. If I don’t want you to do something, I’ll tell you.”

Highly recommended for Romantic Suspense lovers.

Like the first 2 instalments in this series, this book is equally as emotionally invested yet humorous. I love this writing style and just wish it wouldn’t finish. Brant and Colleen have great chemistry and had me right there with them as their story unfolded- laughing, crying and everything in-between. This series could be read as stand alones but I would definitely recommend starting at book one, its worth it.

This debut novel by Mandy Miller had me from the beginning. I instantly fell in love with the main character, Grace Locke and truly felt connected to her on so many levels. Grace has a past that seems to be haunting her while working on the first big case since turning her own life around. Things aren’t always what they seem, especially when you know how the world turns, from your own experience. This book is a must read and most definitely deserves a full five star rating!

This story introduces us to Katrina the Succubus and Gabe the Incubus. Katrina is doing all she can to be free from Hell and escape Satan by denying her Succubus ways and being abstinent. Gabe was freed from Hell by Satan, but has now become more peace and love than sex. A very unlikely pair with a humorous rivalry, but fierce attraction.

This thriller is one of the slower-paced books I’ve read, with the plot slowly unfurling the more you read. The further you delve into the story of Grace Locke and her case as she fights for her client’s innocence, the more twists and turns, and the more the author pulls you in. While at the beginning it was a little harder for me to get as invested, but the more I read, the harder I found to put it down. I’m excited to follow the stories of Grace Locke as this author continues with this series!

Five Stars don’t seem like near enough stars for this captivating yet very heartbreaking read. I’m a bit speechless as I set here trying to find the right words to give this story the praise it deserves. This story touches on how many women were treated in the sixties especially the unwed pregnant women. Women were treated in a sense like garbage. These three ladies all end up at a home where they are expected to give their babies away. Each one a different circumstance but these women all had secrets. Oh my gosh you guys this book will take you on quite the emotional rollercoaster ride. My heart hurt for them. I highly recommend reading this book to find out what happens next. Its one thousand percent worth the read. I look forward to reading more from this Author.
