I give Snatching Dianna (Feisty Lawyers Book 1) by Seelie Kay, 4 stars.
Law student Dianna goes missing one morning after jogging. Professor and former undercover agent Janet is alerted to the problem. Some of the details sound all too familiar. It sounds like a slave trafficking racket Janet worked a while back. She thought they broke them up. The more they discover, the deeper they go. Can they rescue the missing student? Or will they be too late?
This was an interesting book. The story was intriguing and the characters were quite good. The only thing was that I felt like I was thrown into the middle of a series. I felt confused for a bit until they got into the search more. But this could have just been me. However, I really did enjoy this book and hope to see more in this series.
If you like a thriller with some hot and heavy scenes, you should pick up this book.

I give Claiming Her Mates: Book One: (A paranormal shifter romance series) by Dia Cole, 4 stars.
Havana is just surviving. She never thought she would be stripping for a living, but it’s what she knows and she’s good at it. When a possible epidemic breaks out, she doesn’t know what to make of it. Then to make matters worse, three men who are hot enough to melt the North Pole walk into the club looking for her. They want to take her away, to safety they claim. Then they say they are doing this at her ex’s request. Should she really go with them? Is it really that bad? What does her lying creep of an ex want with her? And why is it she wants all three of the men who came for her? What happened to her resolve?
This is a great beginning to a series. It features many things that promise to be a hot and exciting series. I really like Havana. Down on her luck and no one to celebrate the holidays with, she is disheartened. But the men arrive, bringing excitement and possibilities with them. The men are great too. Each one is different but all appealing in their own way. Even if you are not big on multiple partners, you can understand where Havana is coming from. Although there is the constant struggle of each of the characters and their feelings, there is also the action of what is happening to those with virus. Plus the men having to obey both their alpha male and the sadistic Alpha female.
A hot paranormal romance with multiple partners, I highly recommend this book to those not afraid to read something different.

I give Beachcomber Gone: Beachcomber Investigations Book 9: a Romantic Detective Series by Stephanie Queen, 5 stars. *This review contains spoilers from previous books in the series*
Dane and Shana have finally decided to get married. But before they do, Shana wants to take him to Australia to meet her family. But it isn’t the vacation they hoped. Before they even touch down, they are warned of trouble. She has enemies who know of her trip and are waiting for her. The only people besides her family that know of her trip are her former coworkers from the police force. Could one of them have betrayed her? What exactly will they do if they get her? Can Dane keep her safe?
This book has all the action you would expect if you have read any of the books in this series. But this time they are in a different country. It fits right in with the other books in the series, yet it is different so you won’t feel like you’ve read it before. Plus Dane and Shana are a great main couple. Not to mention that we meet more new characters. I would really love to see more of Shana’s mother in future books.
I highly recommend this book if you like your action with a side of romance. I for one could not put it down once I started.

I give The Confectioner’s Coup (Confectioner Chronicles Book 2) by Claire Luana, 5 stars. *This review may contain spoilers from previous books in the series.*
Things just keep getting worse for Wren and her friends. There is an army on their city’s doorstep. Now things are happening within the Guild. Guild members are disappearing. But who is behind it? Is it the from the army threatening to attack? Or is it their own king? What can they do to resolve all this madness? At what cost?
I love this series, I have from the first book I read. I did not think it could get any better. But this book proved me wrong. It’s absolutely incredible. This book is darker than the rest as more is happening. The story pulls you in right away. There is so much happening. The characters are changing, they are growing up quickly to keep up with what is happening. They also know what they believe in — helping those they care about. This is such an intense book and you will be unable to put it down until you reach the end. Then you will quickly reach for the next book.

I give Venganza: The Fuentes Legacy by Greta Cribb, 5 stars. *This review may contain spoilers of other books in this series.*
Leo tried to hide his son from his father and uncle. They will do anything to find him. And once they do — well he doesn’t even want imagine it. But it looks like he failed. Now they have him. Can he rescue Damian in time? What damage will they do to Damian?
This a very, very dark story. If you are a sensitive reader, you probably want to skip this book. It is the story of Damian — of what happens to him at the hands of the elder men in his family. It is also the story of recovery. Damian experiences something very traumatic, both physically and mentally. He struggles a whole lot afterwards. But this doesn’t just affect him, it affect his friends and fiance. The characters are very real. The story put you right there. You can understand what each person is going thru.
While it in an intense read, it will help you understand Damian more if you have already read other books in the series.

I give A Frothy Christmas Kiss by Allyson R. Abbott, 5 stars.
Kat’s best friend since childhood wanted to take things further than what she was ready for. She just can’t see things that way and he can’t seem to take no for an answer. So she decided to move away and start over. Now she is alone here, without even a best friend to confide in. When she comes across a coffee shop tucked in beside a bookstore, she is ecstatic. She loves all things coffee and she can’t believe her luck. This place is just perfect! And the man behind the counter is to die for too. But he’s spoken for, isn’t he? So why does it seem like he’s flirting with her. And what about her ex? Will she find happiness?
Ok, this book centers around coffee and a cat. Right there I’m sold! But really, it is such a fun book. Kat is great, the coffee shop cat is wonderful (I so want to see more of him!), and the rest of the characters are just as good. The story is entertaining and amusing. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and highly recommend it to those who like fun, Christmas romance stories that are just long enough to read in one setting.

I give Eastern Shore Swingers Books 1-3 (Boxed Set) by Phoebe Alexander, 5 stars.
This is the first three books in a series centering around a swingers club in Ocean City, Maryland. In book 1, Leah is not familiar with the swinger lifestyle, but after meeting Cap, she may change her mind. What the strong Christian believes she was raised with? Is it really so wrong? Book 2 shows us more about Paisley, a woman who fits right into the club. When she encounters Calvin, she knows a good thing when she sees it. But can she give up her lifestyle if he doesn’t agree with it? Book 3 is about Jessie, a cop who happens to help out with the club when possible. She adores the owners, so she agrees when they ask her to keep an eye on one of their members. But can she just do her job or is she falling for this beautiful woman?
I loved these books. Yes, they all revolve around the swingers club, but they are all very different from each other. If you have never read this author before, you must read these. Her writing is very fun and done so well. These are about alternative lifestyles, so please have this in mind. If you are open minded and like romance books that have so much more going on than just the romance themselves, I highly recommend this set.

I give A Pink Christmas Kiss by Allyson R. Abbott, 4 stars.
Billie left her small town in the middle of nowhere to get out into the real world of New York City. She was in love, but the big city was calling to her. Besides, if he really loves her, he’ll follow her, right? Five years later, she has barely gotten anywhere in her career and she hasn’t heard from him since she moved. When circumstances have her moving back home, she knows it is the right choice. But what about him? Is he with someone else? Will it break her heart if he is? Or is there hope?
This is something unlike what I normally see in romances. First of all, she is a mechanic. No girly girl here. I love that! Also, a book being about two people, you really don’t see too much of Leroy. He actually shows up very little. I like that because it’s different. This is totally about Billie and her struggles. But Leroy is not ignored either, we do learn his side too. The other people in this book also help to make this a great story too. Oh and the pink in the title? Well, you’ll have to read it to find out.
A fun, fairly short, clean Christmas romance, I highly recommend reading this book.

I give The Moon in Her Eyes: a witch’s tale by Nikki Broadwell, 4 stars.
Emeline is a witch that can time travel, among other things. She is happiest living in 1694 among her Indian tribe with her husband. But when circumstances arrive, she finds she must leave. Travelling make to current times, she finally meets more witches and learns more about just what she can do. But there is so much more going on than just her troubles. The timelines are being altered. Who is doing this and why? Will she be able to get back to the husband she loves?
I would describe this as a fantasy time travel book. There is much just back and forth in time and places. There is quite a bit going on in this story. There is danger every where Emeline looks. She and her friends are trying to make things right again. But there are others opposed to this. And just who can she trust? I have never read anything like this before and while it was a little difficult for me to follow at first because I am new to time travel books, I quickly fell into the story and was right there beside her. She had to make extremely difficult decisions, but it shows her humanity.
I quite enjoyed this book and happily recommend it.

I give A Second Chance (Powder River Pack Book 1) by Brooke May, 4 stars.
Derek is a werewolf of the Powder River Pack. He met his mate at a young age and couldn’t imagine life without her. Until she was gone. He thought it best to let her do what she wants. But it has made him miserable. He will never be the same without her.
Annabelle has a wonderful career and she absolutely loves what she does. Plus it keeps her far away from her hometown. But it doesn’t fill the whole left in her heart. When circumstances arise, she has to go back to that very same town she grew up in. Maybe she can avoid Derek while she is there. Can she get that lucky?
This was a good paranormal romance. The story was interesting, and heart breaking at times. I really like how the author portrays the werewolves as something different than what we normally see. That made me happy to see her breaking the standard in the genre. I also liked the main characters, especially Annabelle. The only thing the got me was, this being the first book in a series, I felt a little bit thrown into it. I would have liked to have seen more about the pack itself so i understood it more. But overall, this was a great story about Derek and Annabelle and I highly recommend it.

I give Burning Night: where the ashes of the past awaken the future by Nikki Broadwell, 5 stars.
Collie has finally had enough of her abusive husband so she flees. But at 40 years old, she doesn’t know exactly what to do or where to go. She decides to go on a journey to find who she really is. When her money is gone, she needs to find employment. There is only one thing she knows how to do — exotic dancing. But at her age? Can she survive? Will she find peace in her soul again?
This was an interesting book. Starting over from what you have known for so long is hard, and Collie does struggle at times. This book seems like it could be a biography, it is written so realistically. Collie is a great main character — flawed, but lovable too. There are many surprises you will not see coming. Collie has to endure so much. It also shows the stigma about exotic dancing. I would suggest adults only to read this since there are some events that could be disturbing.
I thoroughly enjoyed this book and highly recommend it.

I give Climbing The Walls (Hart & Cole Book 1) by Sacha T. Y. Fortuné, 4 stars.
Nicole is a sexy, self professed b*tch who who puts all her time into her job. This doesn’t leave much time for her kids or her husband, Kris. Sure Kris is high up the food chain at his own, but he finds time for his kids. He knows his wife is driven by her jobs, but it’s always been like that. Not to mention Nicole is drop-down gorgeous and amazing in bed. But can it last like this?
This book is about two damaged people in a marriage, who love each other but still have issues. It is quite a long book and quite detailed. I admit, this couple drove me quite crazy for a bit. But that is the point. I never read a book like this before. It is definitely not something I will forget any time soon. There is so much going on and it feels so real. These are not two people that have little issues, then all is magically well by then end of the book. They fight, they love, they struggle. They love each other immensely. Add in a very intelligent toddler. This is a book that will stay with you.
If you like a book that is real and not some glossy love story, this book is for you.

I give A Tangy Christmas Kiss by Allyson R. Abbott, 4stars.
Mel’s mother calls right before Christmas and talks her into a big favor — to go to Spain to help out her aunt who is having surgery. She agrees, but little does she know just what she’s in for. After too many days of travelling, and too many layovers, she misses the ride her aunt provided for her. She is alone and helpless in a country where she doesn’t know the language. Relying on the help of strangers, she finally makes it to her aunt’s. But it is nothing like she remembered as a child. She now has a lot to take care of and and she doesn’t even know where to begin. Can she do this?
This a nice, fun little Christmas romance book. Not very long, it can be read in one sitting. Mel is a good main character, trying to deal with things she has never encountered before. The story itself is new and interesting too. Being out of your element, especially at Christmas, is quite hard. But she endures because this is family. This story will make you laugh, cry, and everything in between.
If you like fun Christmas romances, this book is for you.

I give Mouse Trapped (Satan’s Devils MC #9) by Manda Mellett, 5 stars.
Mouse is part of the Satan’s Devils MC. The white half of him enjoys the computer work he does for his brothers. However, the Native American side of him needs to feel the freedom of being in the wild on a horse. It is one of these times in the wild when he hears someone screaming in terror. He comes across a woman being confronted by a bear. He helps her, then offers to bring her back to her car. It’s obvious she has never been on a horse or a motorcycle. There is something about her that makes him want to get to know her better. Well besides how sexy she is. But it is very obvious that she is hiding something.
Mariana is technically an illegal immigrant. But she arrived in the States when she was only 4 years old and her brother was born here. She has to keep her head down and not trust anyone, not only for herself, but for her brother’s sake. Then Mouse comes along. When events not under her control happen, she is put in the spotlight of the immigration authorities who want nothing more than to get rid of another illegal. The only person she know is Mouse. Will he help? Can he? What will end up happening?
There is a lot going on in this book. I have not read this series or this author before so I wasn’t sure what to expect. It definitely covers some very topical issues right now and you see them from a way you not have necessarily looked at before. But besides that there is the relationship between Mariana and Mouse. This book is part of a series about a motorcycle club. The MC romance genre is not something I read too much of. Therefore, I did not quite understand some of the terms and such associated with these book. But the fact that I was pulled into the book having not started the series from the beginning and that this is not necessarily my genre of choice says just how good this book is. I could not put it down. All of the characters were so interesting and I cannot wait to go back and learn more about them in previous books. The story itself is original and grabbed me right away. I can’t say I relate to issues either one is having, but the the author makes me feel it and I can understand it. Not to mention that she just keeps hitting you with surprise after surprise. Just when you think the action is over – BAM! – something else happens.
This is a book full of action and just what you will do for those you care for. I thoroughly enjoyed it and highly recommend it.

I give Nathaniel (Dragon Hearts 1) by Carole Mortimer, 4 stars.
Chloe is a journalist who is on vacation in Wales. When she comes across a castle that is not on any map or vacation guide, she is instantly intrigued. Even the villagers cannot tell her too much. So she decides to have a look for herself. What and who she finds there astounds her. But these men, while drop dead gorgeous, must be up to something illegal. Why else all the secrecy? But the big question is, what has she really gotten herself into?
Nathaniel is one of the men living in the castle. He tries to ignore the hot woman getting too close to their home, but the second time she shows up, he know he must stop her. But she is persistent. Not to mention that a part of him doesn’t want to say no to her. But this cannot be, he does not need a woman in his life. Or does he?
This paranormal romance at its finest. Well written, the story and the characters are great. The setting is of course outstanding, giving it a more gothic feel. Well, an updated gothic feel at least. The men are sexy and the romance is quite heated. But there is more going on. If you are a fan or paranormal romance or just like fantasy and something different, this book will appeal to you. I cannot wait to read more of the books in the series and learn more about the other men.
I highly recommend then wonderful paranormal romance to adults you enjoy a fun, sexy read with lots of hot men.

I give Elegantly Denim: An Elegant Prelude (Elegant Series- Prequel) by Tee Smith, 4 stars.
This the back story of Denim. Of how he became who he is today. The family and things in his life that made him. He is powerful, in a business all about money and power. But above all, he has a heart. He has to trust it and his instincts.
This is the first book I have read in this series, so I had nothing to base this book off of. It seemed like there was a lot going on in this short story, but I assume it will make more sense after I read more of the series. Do not get me wrong though, this seemed like a great way to introduce us to Denim and see how he became who he is. He is not untouchable, and this book reflects this perfectly. It is well written and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Denim seemed like an interesting character and I cannot wait to see more of him in the next book. There is plenty going on in this book, you will not be able to put it down and be disappointed when you come to the the end too quickly.

I give Embrace the Passion: Pets in Space 3 Anthology, 5 stars.
This is a science fiction romance anthology. The third in the series, it continues the tradition of the first two, giving you wonderful stories set in space or other planets involving animals of some kind. The diversity each book provides is outstanding. There are shifters, literal pets, animals that are in danger, you name it. There is a little bit of everything in here.
This is the second book I have read in this series and I love them. If you enjoy science fiction, animals, and romance, there is something in here for you. I am amazed at how good and how different each story is in this book. There is humor in some, tragedy in others, but always a good story. Oh, and have I mentioned there is a Caticorn? I was all over that one! Each story is so well written and I couldn’t believe how many I absolutely loved. I first picked up this collection because I love animals. In truth, science fiction stories are hit or miss for me, but this book was so good! It made me laugh and feel good at the same time.
For loves of animals, romance, and/or science fiction, I highly recommend this book.

I give Hope’s Decree (The Fated Book 1) by Angela McPherson, 4 stars.
Trinity is a senior in high school. She just wants to be a normal girl who graduates soon, and then go to college. Sure, she can feel other people’s feelings, but she hides that as best she can. She just concentrates on schoolwork, her job, and her friends. She basically has no interest in boys. Until Blain. He moved in down the street from her, plus enrolled in her school. There is something that pulls her to him. But she quickly learns that there is more to her than just her small ability. She just may be a decent of Pandora, and she has been told only she can stop the evil that threatens to overtake the humans. Can she believe any of this? And what about this feeling towards Blain? Is he even interested?
This is a young adult paranormal romance. I have to say that the overall story is something I have read before. Saying that, the characters have to be good in order to keep me interested. I really enjoyed them. Trinity is a good character, she learns as she goes. Her friends and parents are also great – I would love to see more of them in the future. The story itself is good and I quickly finished the book.
I would say this book is definitely written to the young adult age group, but as someone who is much older, I enjoyed it too and am looking forward to reading the next book.

I give Who: A Stalker Series Novel by Megan Mitcham, 4 stars.
Larkin has it all. A successful businesswoman, she is a billionaire who worked hard to earn her money. Her job and her group of girlfriends are all she needs to stay happy. Plus a man here and there to scratch the itch. But love? No thanks. She saw what it did to her parents. She is not going to turn out like them. But when she starts receiving threats, things slowly spin out of control. Then there’s the mysterious sexy man she can’t stop thinking about. He makes her have feelings she has never had before — feelings she doesn’t want. Having a man in her life will just ruin things. Right?
This is a very good romantic suspense. Larkin is a woman that thinks she has everything under control and can handle it all by herself. To be honest, I found her a little annoying in the beginning. But as you go on, you see this is all just a wall she’s created. She really does have a heart and you see more of it the more you read. Her friends are great too and I cannot wait to read more of them in books to come. The story itself is very interesting and there is so much going on. You will be entrapped from the very beginning until the last page. There are many twists and turns, although I do admit I saw some of them coming. But there were more that came out of nowhere.
I wonderful romantic suspense and the beginning of a new series, I highly recommend this book.

Tomb for an Eagle (Orkneyinga Murders Book 1) by Lexie Conyngham, 4 stars.
Ketil is searching for answers. That is what lead him to The Brough. He is searching for their leader, Thorfinn. But Thorfinn is away, so Ketil decides to wait. He pretends to be a simple trader, not knowing who he can trust. But it turns out all he gets is more questions. Oh, and the dead body they found. Who killed him and why? Not to mention that he has heard rumors that the ghost of a man he knows to be dead. But ghosts and resurrection of the dead aren’t real. Are they? Are there those that still worship the old gods? Do they possess these powers? Will he find answers or is someone really bent on keeping him from finding the truth?
This a what I would describe as a historical suspense mystery. It is set in the time of the Vikings. In my opinion, the description that comes with the book does not give this story justice. There is so much going on than just the rumors that a dead man is alive again. A dead body is found not to long after Ketil arrives. Plus there are other “accidents” that seem to happen. Plus Ketil, with the help of Sigrid, has to take on the sole of detective, trying to find out just what happened. This puts him danger and he doesn’t even know whom from. The story is quite interesting, but I admit I had trouble getting into it from the beginning. There were many words I did not know and did not quite understand where the story was going. But the more I got into, the less I could put it down. It really is imaginative and like nothing I have read before.
I highly recommend this book to others who enjoy historical suspense.

I give The Confectioner’s Guild (The Confectioner Chronicles Book 1) by Claire Luana, 5 stars.
Wren is an orphan, growing up the hard way. She gets by, but barely. She lives for her job in the bakery, making cupcakes and other sweet treats. After her cupcakes get the attention on the Confectioner’s Guild, she is whisked away to what seems like a much better life. It all seems to good to be true. And just maybe it is. No sooner does a better life seem to be within her grasp, than it looks like it will be pulled away just as quickly. She is accused of murder. All because of her cupcakes. Can she find out who did it, or is she doomed? Will she ever have a better life?
This is a young adult book set in a fantastic magical world. It put me in mind of a place JK Rowling would have created. It is something completely new to me and I absolutely loved it. The world is fascinating and the characters are great. Not only is Wren a very down to earth main character, the others in this book are just as great. There are so many that I would love to know more about. Besides the magic in it, there is the suspense of figuring out just who committed the murder and why. You will be kept guessing as you puzzle through the clues.
An overall outstanding book, I highly recommend this book to young adults and older.

I give Sailors Knot (Eastern Shore Swingers Book 4) by Phoebe Alexander, 5 stars. *This review contains spoilers from previous book in series.*
This book is about Casey Fontaine. She has been the backbone of the group of local swingers and the club they now have. But now she has cancer. She leaves Ocean City, Maryland and heads to California, where she can get help at a top hospital and stay with her sister. She has always been the black sheep of her family. Her sister was the perfect one. During her recovery time, she learns just how much family means. It also gives her time to reflect on the most interesting and best relationship of her life. But whatever became of this relationship? What will happen now?
I was so excited to see this book was going to be the next in the series. I really wanted to know more about Casey. This book definitely delivers. It is unlike any of the other books in the series, too. In my opinion, it is much darker than the rest of the books. There is a lot of sadness in the beginning of the book. This is realistic too. Happily Ever After doesn’t necessarily mean happiness all the time. It is realistic to see struggle. I really like that. Plus, it is only natural to add a relationship about two men and a woman when you talk about the swinger lifestyle. The characters you love are back, plus you meet Casey’s sister. The story is unique but very real. And hopefully it teaches us that whatever brings us happiness is the right thing for us.
I highly recommend this book to lovers of romance who aren’t afraid of reading about relationships that are steamy and a little different.

I give Isabella’s Painting: A Notorious Art Heist Mystery (Karina Cardinal Mystery Book 1) by Ellen Butler, 5 stars.
Karina has a life she loves. She works in Washington DC, her job keeps her busy, but she loves it. Her boyfriend is wonderful. He understands her love of her job and how it keeps her working log hours at times. But he is there for her. So when he parents, who happen to be very well-known in Washington society, throw their annual holiday party and she is asked to attend, she accepts. She knows this is a big deal to both her boyfriend and his parents. While attending the party at their house, she happens across a hidden painting his dad has. Her curiosity get the better of her and she decided to do some research. This looks just like a painting from an infamous museum heist! Is it real? Why does he have it? Should she tell anyone? Can she live with herself of she doesn’t?
This is the first book I have read by this author and I now have a new author to follow! I absolutely loved it! There is so much going on that you will quickly be wrapped up in the suspense and will not be able to put it down until it is done. Karina is a great main character, she is very real and quite human. She struggles with her problems just like any of us would do. That is what helps make this book so great. But let us not forget the story itself. I believe it is based off a real heist, but either way the story is is fantastic. There are so many twists and turns, you will never guess what will happen next.
If you are a fan of suspense and thrillers, with a strong female lead, this book is for you!

I give Bound by Blood (Crescent City Wolf Pack Book 3) by Carrie Pulkinen, 5 stars. *This review contains spoilers from previous books in the series.*
Alexis is a rogue werewolf and therefore she has spent her life on the run since she first shifted at 13. But things are finally coming together. She has reunited with her sister after a very long time. Plus, now that her sister is happily married, she has an open invitation to join their pack. It would be nice to settle down, but all she has known is a life on the run. Although, the more she learns of Bryce, the more she feels like maybe she wants more. But would it ever work?
Bryce is Macie’s partner on the police force. When he is introduced to Macie’s sister, Alexis, there is something about her that immediately interests him. But she keeps leaving. When it looks like she has gotten into something that she can’t handle, he feels compelled to help her. She is hiding things, but he is determined to get the bottom of it. Plus, can he make her stay?
This is a great series. The two characters were both in the previous books, but we didn’t see too much of them. It was great to see them as the leads in this book. I really liked the idea of Alexis and was strongly hoping she would be featured in an upcoming book. Not to mention that Bryce seemed like a good guy too and I was happy to learn more of him. There is more going on than just their romance too, which makes this book even better. I got drawn into it right away and could not put it down until I was finished.
If you enjoy paranormal romance and hot werewolves, this book and series is for you.

I give Truly Unfortunate (Welcome To Knollville Book 1) by C.A. King, 5 stars.
Truly has no memories of her childhood. Her doctors think she is repressing some horrible memories. All she knows is that she can’t catch a break. When people she knows starts dying, she doesn’t know what to think.
Jeff is a cop in Knoll County, a position he’s wanted since he was a child. He tends to think outside the box, which gets him in trouble with his boss. When a group of accidents happen, he is convinced there is more going on. Is it his imagination or is there really something sinister happening?
I have read and enjoyed this author before, but I wasn’t sure what to expect with this book because it seems so different than what she has done before. I absolutely loved it! The characters were great, you really feel for Truly and you can understand where Jeff is coming from too. The story is great too, there are quite a few surprises that you will never see coming. I love to be shocked just when I think i have it all figured out.
This is a suspense with a paranormal twist and I highly recommend it to every adult!

I give The Fifth Knight: An Arthurian Legend Reverse Harem Romance (The Knights of Caerleon series Book 1) by Claire Luana & Jesikah Sundin, 5 stars.
Fionna will do anything to save her family. When she is sent to Caerleon to steal Excalibur, she accepts. She is a fierce warrior, she can handle it. But she does not expect the king and his knights to be so welcoming, and so sexy. But her family comes first. Although, the more she is around these men, the more she is accepted and feels comfortable. But she has to steal the sword, doesn’t she?
This takes the legend of King Aurthur and his knights and flips it into something you have never read before. There has been a lot of taking old fairytales and stories and rewriting them lately. But this book really stands out as something new and different. It takes some of the characters you know and makes a whole new story out of them. It is written so well, the two authors do a superb job of blending their skills into making this a fun and interesting book. I really like Fionna as a lead character and cannot wait to see where the next book takes her and her fellow knights.
I highly recommend this book to those who like fantasy with some reverse harem romance.
I give Everyday Enchantments: Musings on Ordinary Magic & Daily Conjurings by Maria DeBlassie, 4 stars.
This is a book that shows you many things. It is a collection of writings by an author who finds the happiness in the small things. She makes the everyday seem like magic. There are snippets in here of just about everything. From morning to evening, there is so much that we could be reflecting on, so much to be thankful for. The author shows you how to see things differently.
This is something completely different than what I would normally read. This may fall under the category of self-help or spiritual. But the author is not telling you what to do or think. She is just reflecting on things in her life in a way so you understand. Mainly, this is a book to show you that you can see things in different way. Written in short snippets, it isn’t something you have to necessarily sit down and read in one sitting. You could pick it up for a few minutes here and there and learn something new.
If you want a new outlook on life and are interested in finding the magic and happiness in the small things, this book is for you.

I give Siren Call (Eastern Shore Swingers Book 3) by Phoebe Alexander, 5 stars. *This review may contain spoilers from previous books in the series.*
Jessie will do anything for the people of The Factory. They accepted her into this way of life, and they are like family to her. The only family she has anymore. So when they ask her to use her skills as a cop to look into one of the members, she can’t say no. Besides, the women is an alluring mystery to her too. She decides to use her sexual side to draw the woman in and learn more about her. But the further in she gets, the less she wants to get out. There is something about her. Jessie knows she will get her heart broken again, but she can’t seem to say no.
Sirena, is in fact, hiding a secret. A few actually. But she cannot let anyone know. When the lady cop swinger approaches her, she’s sure she has been found out. Especially when she starts asking too many questions. But this women is so good to her, will she be able to say walk away when the time comes to leave?
This author has read my mind. After two books of the main relationships being male/female, I was wondering if any of the books would ever deviate. This series is about a swingers club after all and their are many kinds of groups within the club in the books. Sure enough, the author delivered with the main characters being two females. And it is done so well!! Sure there is a stigma about two women, it is touched upon when they are in the club. But these are real people just like anyone else. They have their own problems, some of them reflecting their way of life. But others are ones we all deal with. As she has done before, the author writes a wonderfully sweet, funny and hot as hell book. Sirena and Jessie are great main characters and feel very real. Plus your favorites from previous books are back! Oh, and did I mention there is a dog in this one too!!! A huge animal lover, I was so happy to see that again.
A wonderful series featuring alternative lifestyles, this book (and series) is a must for those who like hot and heavy romance and don’t mind reading something different. It can be read as a standalone, but I highly recommend reading the whole series since they are all so good!

Format: Kindle Edition I give The Confectioner’s Exile: The Confectioner Chronicles Prequel Novella by Claire Luana, 4 stars.
Hale is a Member of a prominent family and has everything he could want – money, good looks, an easy life. His life isn’t perfect, but he quite likes it. But all of that is taken away in an instant. Events happen that leave him on the run with his family. Surviving and fending for himself is something has never had to do before. Part of him enjoys the adventure, but another part of him misses the easy life he had. Will he survive? What about his family? What will they do when they finally make it to safety?
I have read this author before, but this is the first book in the series that I have read. It was wonderful. I do not know yet what role Hale holds in the future books, but this novella tells his story well. It is quite interesting to see just how much Hale transforms. He was an arrogant, easy going man who loved the good life. But he is forced to change. The story itself pulls you in too. As this author does so well, it does not take too long for the action to start and does not relent until the end.
This is a young adult fantasy book, but really any age above YA would enjoy it. I highly recommend it.

I give The Jack (The Immortal Series Book 2) by M.K. Harkins, 4 stars. *This review may contain spoilers from book 1.*
Archer just exists now. His once best friends hate him. The woman of his dreams is in love with the man he considered like a brother. He cannot move on. But when a woman warns him that his friends are in danger, he cannot only not get her out of his head, he thinks she might be of a race thought to be long gone. Does he warn these people who now hate him?
Sadie is the last seer, and it has been foretold that she is to kill the last Jack. They are an evil race and must be permanently eradicated. But then she starts events that have her surrounded by Archer and the Readers. The more she gets to know Archer, the more she feels for him. Are they sure he is the last Jack? Can she go through with it?
This is such a great book. It has been a while since since I read book 1, and it took a little bit for me to get back into it, but once I did I could not put it down. There is so much going on and so many twists and turns that you will never see what happens next. Incredible writing makes this story even more interesting. Sadie is a great new character and I like how she interacts with the others while keeping her secret to herself.
I recommend reading book one first, but I highly recommend this book and series for lovers of fantasy with some suspense thrown in for good measure.
