The Perfect Duchess (The Macalisters, #2)The Perfect Duchess by Erica Taylor
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The Perfect Duchess (The Macalisters Book 2) by Erica Taylor. This book pulled me in from page one. This book has different draws for me from romance to mystery. Historical romance isn’t my favorite but I’ve grown to liking them from this author. The attention to details is great and the characters are complex and believable. There’s plenty of romance but it’s balanced well with action and mystery. It’s paced nicely, never feeling rushed or lacking anything. Absolutely loved these characters’ storyline. There’s a few twists and turns that left me reading as fast as possible to see what happens next. I’m giving this book a five star review and highly recommend it to everyone.

Movie Star (21st Century Courtesan Book 2) by Pamela DuMond – Review by Michelle Austin

Movie Star (21st Century Courtesan, #2)Movie Star by Pamela DuMond
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Movie Star was a great 5 star read and book two in the 21st Century Courtesan series.

Evie is empathic, men hire her to help them heal. She is heading to LA to help Jake Keller, a very hot troubled movie star. The night before she leaves she discovers her house has been broken into. And she has gotten another letter. Has her stalker returned?

Healing broken men is filthy, grueling work, which is why it’s ironic that on the outside I look immaculate.

Jake has some secrets that someone wants to keep buried. Will Evie be able to help Jake or will his secret stay buried?

As they spend time together Evie and Jake get close, and lets just say they had some very steamy scenes. There is also an unexpected twist, someone that Evie hadn’t seen in a couple of years shows up.

Be prepared for so much more in this story. I love Evie, she had me lol at times with things she would say or think. The secondary characters were great. Once I started I couldn’t put it down, I finished it pretty quickly. Pamela DuMond will have your head spinning with the things going on. I suggest reading book one first. I look forward to reading more in this series.

The Perfect Duchess (The Macalisters, #2)The Perfect Duchess by Erica Taylor
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The Perfect Duchess was a good 4 star read.
This is Andrew and Clara’s story.

We start out at Andrew’s birthday party where he sees Lady Clara, she has been the only one that has gotten his attention in the past few years. When he searches her out for a dance he finds her being insulted by one of his guests, so he quickly rescues her.

Lady Clara knew she was taking a chance by going to the party. People believe she was involved in her sister leaving Andrew at the altar. The insults that she took were terrible, but she held her own and gave it right back.

If they think they can chase me away, they are severely mistaken -Lady Clara

When Andrew starts to court Lady Clara, things get even more interesting. When Clara finds out that she is in danger from her own brother, Andrew offers her a solution. Will she take it?

All of the secondary characters were great. There are some twists and turns and secrets revealed. We do get a HEA but it was definitely not an easy journey. If you’re looking for a good historical read you will like this one. Erica Taylor does a great job of pulling you in with her writing.

The Perfect Duchess (The Macalisters Book 2)The Perfect Duchess
By: Erica Taylor
My Rating: 4 of 5 stars

The Perfect Duchess (The Macalisters #2) by Erica Taylor was an engaging, hooking historical fiction that keeps you flipping the pages.

Not my first read by this author, but in truth, the first book of this series actually takes place before this one. So in saying that, I highly suggest reading this book first, then go back and read book one. If I myself knew that these books were written out of chronological order, I would have done that; because the first book is full of spoilers for book one. So though I still enjoyed this story, I felt I knew it well before reading it.

Outside of this book taking place before the first, I very much adored this read. That opening scene was, for me, what dreams are made of. There’s just something about two people locking eyes across a crowded room that just makes me all mushy on the inside. From that moment I was hooked not only on this book, but this future couple. This book doesn’t just focus on the romance, there’s a spotlight on Andrew’s close relationship with his siblings, and the hunting dark tone around Clara’s brother and his disdain for her.

Told in dule POV we get inside both their heads, and that adds a little something extra, rounding out an already endearing story. So please take my super high recommendation and my stamp of approval, that you will fall hard for this unconventional romance, set in a time when social standards were everything. Things have to be handled with care, and the Duke has to be a bit cunning to get what he wants.

Happy Reading

Black BulletBlack Bullet by L.D. Rose
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Black Bullet by L.D. Rose is the second book in The Order of the Senary series. This book focuses on Jonathan Kerr. He is now a vampire but was a Marine and FBI agent in his former life. Lawan Knight is a hybrid and she has come to trust no one. The two end up working together and learning to trust one another. This book has supernatural, suspense, action, and romance all in one. The story and writing are well done. The pace of the story kept me reading and not wanting to put it down. I enjoyed the characters and story and look forward to more from this series. It reminded me of some current action films but had a better story and characters. I have enjoyed this book and will be reading more from L.D. Rose.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The Perfect Duchess is the second book in the Macalisters series by Erica Taylor. With having read the first book in the series, I was excited to read this installment. Ms. Taylor has a great ability to intertwine stories but keep them separate in the same breath. This story is about Andrew and Claire and we learned about them in A Suitable Affair. I was excited because I really like the love story between Andrew and Claire. This story has romance, danger, drama, and suspense. The emotions in this book go up and down, twists and turns, happy and sad all in book. I was taken back several times and I had to go and read the section again because I wanted to know why I thought it was supposed to be in my mind’s eye and not the author’s eye.

Crime Lord’s Captive by Mia Knight is the first book in her series Crime Lord Series. This story was an interesting dark undertones story. I was comfortable reading the story, but I could see where it could have made me wiggle a little bit. The characters are fully developed and could feel them as friends. I would set enough time to be able to read this book in one sitting. You will not be sorry. This is the story of Layla and Gavin. Layla left her life in the past in Las Vegas and really wanted to start anew. Gavin is the man that Layla wanted to leave in her past, but he came looking for her. This is the story of how love can be dark if one is not able to speak up. I cannot wait to read the next book in the series.

Movie Star by Pamela DuMond a five-star read that will shine through. This is the second novel in the 21st Century Courtesan series and I would recommend you read them in order as they do tell the whole story. There is lots going on in this one again like the first, but Pamela DuMond has a great way for keeping it clear and making it easy for you to keep up. The darkness in the story is well done and will keep you gripped, the suspense level is thrilling. Jake was a character who surprised me his story was great, and he will grow on you till you adore him as much as you adore the amazing Evie.

Infamy (Feisty Lawyers) by Seelie Kay
4 Stars

This is book two in the Feisty Lawyers series. In this story, along with the main characters Cade and Janet, we meet two more lawyers Marianne Benson and her husband Sheikh Harun Ali. The terrorists in this book are smart. They have managed to find a way to make planes disappear from the skies. While they are after the Americans, they also have a vendetta against the Alis. They decide to take care of both at the same time. Not only do Cade and Janet need to find the missing planes but they need to save their friends as well.

This is another action packed book filled with espionage, mystery and drama. The danger and intrigue make this an interesting story. I liked the new characters that were introduced in this book. Honestly I enjoyed this book better than the first. I find all the high tech espionage entertaining and adore the banter between the characters. There are so many different scenarios that can happen in this series so I’m looking forward to the next book.

Hard as Steel (Surviving Series Book 4) by Virginia Wine

5-stars

Hard as Steel is a truly phenomenal read! It’s the fourth book in the Surviving Series by Virginia Wine and my favorite of the series so far. I would suggest reading this series in order and not as a standalone. Form the very beginning Steel was my favorite, he was mysterious, powerful, successful and always brooding and I couldn’t wait to dive into his story!

Steel’s story is intense, action-packed, twisted, emotional and heart wrenching. I read it in one sitting as I couldn’t bring myself to put it down. I was so intrigued by Grace’s case and I couldn’t wait to find out what happened, and not once did I see that ending coming, which made it so entertaining!
I would absolutely recommend this series to others!

The connection between Mark and Angelia won’t go away even though they live states apart! Will they be able to overcome the tragedies they have endured to make a long distance relationship work or will they be too scared to take the risk. This is a very emotional book dealing with child loss and school shootings but the writer handles it so well. Its a beautiful story.

I loved that we get to see the characters from the previous book, and how their commitment helps unravel the wrong doings within this book. This book was full of suspense, one that left you sitting on the edge of your seat, wondering if they were going to be able to complete their mission and save the day. I definitely enjoyed this book and it’s characters, and look forward to reading more!

The Perfect Duchess (The Macalisters, #2)The Perfect Duchess by Erica Taylor
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The Perfect Duchess is book two in The Macalisters series by Erica Taylor. I love a good historical romance, as they don’t often tweak my curiosity. Thinking I had read all the good ones, they are not something I keep a lookout for. That has changed since discovering this author.

A different, an era of duchesses and dukes. The regal aristocracy at its finest. I love everything about this story. Everything is expressed in an exquisitely proper manner, a refreshing insight into an era that was more innocent and less tainted, and in my opinion, harsher and more uncertain. Breathtaking in its simplistic abandonment. Andrew and Clara were polar opposites, with chemistry that sizzled, doubt that pulsed and passion that erupted. 4 stars.

The Monster's LoverThe Monster’s Lover by Samantha MacLeod
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the first book in the Fenris series and is an interesting fast paced read.
When Sol’s father dies in a logging accident in the woods, her family is left with HUGE financial troubles. With no way of meeting the king’s lumber quota, Sol is offered to the king as payment for the family’s debt.
With only weeks left of freedom, Sol tries to make the best of her time left and helps around her family’s land as best as she can. In the woods not too far from her house she meets a mystery man called Fenris, who she is instantly enamored with. She is promised to the king, but how can she agree to go with him when she can’t get Fenris out of her mind.
This story was a tough one for me. I had trouble connecting to the characters and the instant catch fire love the MC’s had was hard for me to get behind…. BUT the author has a really great writing style and managed to get a whole lot of detail into a relatively short story. I am looking forward to seeing how the author continues this story and seeing where Sol and Fenris end up.
I would recommend this to a friend.
Happy Reading!

Luke (Dark Water Security #1)Luke by Madison Quinn
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This was quite the introduction to a new author for me. I love a good dark romance. Often if it will hint at it in the blurb I won’t even read the whole synopsis I will just dive in and find out how it was later. I just have a thing for a tragic story with a glimmer of love shining through. Now, Luke was a bit of a different array. I will say it had a lot of the things that I would want and do look for in a dark and twisty read, it just so very often they fell short. The thing is the storyline was catchy and unique, it had you on the edge of your seat having to know what was going to happen regardless of how non climatic it got. Thus I found myself needing to finish the book and would be back to find out what will come next in the series. I do think there is room to grow in the writing as well so I look forward to seeing if that is present as well.

The catch that had me is this was like reading an episode of 20/20. Luke was abducted and tortured as young boy. What fans of this genre here want are merely teased I believe which is where this book fell short, but then he is later in life met again with the girl he was was held captive with comes into his life as and adult again. Things are of course set for some intense drama and storylines. Like I said I look forward to seeing what will come in the next book that should be out here shortly actually, March of 2019. I think I will even go give this one a re-read and see if I missed a thing or two before then!

Crime Lord's Captive (Crime Lord, #1)Crime Lord’s Captive by Mia Knight
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I have to say I am kicking myself majorly for not finding the very talented Mia Knight sooner than just now. Crime Lord’s Captive is my first time reading anything of hers but I can tell you since I have finished the last pages I have added all of her other works available to my TBR list and purchased everything for this series! (MEGA bonus for this novel’s cliffhanger! It’ll take a tiny bit of that sting out of the pain 😉 ) Now, just a small heads up this does tackle some sensitive subjects of abuse and if that isn’t your thing or it is a easy trigger point maybe don’t read this, but I can tell you that Mia does a fantastic job of writing about the subject with class and couth. Everything had a place and a reason, never written strictly for that shock value and I loved that, So maybe that will help you in making your final decision about whether you could handle the subject matter. To me this was completely worth it!

This seems to cover a lot in one book, but not enough in the same time, hence why there is more and a cliffhanger warning lol. I love how we are completely given the entire picture here of the dynamic from an outside point of view. We see how Gavin is the ultimate Alpha male and stalker, obsessed with his love and determined to have her no matter the cost or danger (even to her) but we also see how it affects and plays on Lyla’s life and where she is. I love that in these type of psychological twisty novels. This is a master cat and mouse game between Gavin and Lyla, and I freaking loved every single deep dark and twisted moment of it. I can’t wait to get my claws into the next one and find out how that cliffy turns out! Thank you for this fantastic read Ms. Knight!

How much would you be willing to give up for someone who doesn’t know you? Nate has been given a task. This task is like a demotion to him but the most important task to the world. Sera is awakening into a part of the world she never knew existed. I really enjoyed this story. It gave me a break in between the hot sexy billionaire stories. I liked the unique twist the author put on this story. It made it more interesting. Nate made a choice without knowing how Sera would chose in the end. I’m also excited that you get both characters POV. I love books that come in a series. You get a lot more about it and the time you get learning about the characters. You definitely see more growth and comprehension in books that have series.

Seelie Kay is back at it with another saucy short and sweet installment in her Feisty Lawyers series. I loved the first one, Snatching Diana, and even though it is said these could be read as stand alones I would highly recommend that you read them in order and completely. They are short enough and fantastic so why not? Once again I felt as if I was in one of my favorite primetime crime shows, swept into the daring and dangerous drama that comes up with fighting terrorists and more. I won’t divulge much more than that because it would spoil all the good parts, so for that you will have to one-click this gem and devour it yourself! You won’t be disappointed that you did! I can’t wait to find out what will come next in the Feisty Lawyers series. Thanks for another great read Ms. Seelie!

I loved following Seraphina as she begins to experience such drastic changes. I also loved Nate’s character and how he is introduced. There were also many excellent supporting characters such as Amanda, Seraphina’s best friend, and Jack, the coffee store owner. They each allowed me to see different parts of Seraphina’s characters and how much she cares for her friends. I sincerely look forward to reading more in this series!

The Light at DawnThe Light at Dawn by K.L. Montgomery
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The Light at Dawn was a heart wrenching and emotional 5+ star read.

I was pulled right in from the beginning. Angelia and her family go through a tragedy that no family ever wants to experience (Ugly cry moments started instantly). We watch her world come crumbling down around her. We jump ahead five years Angelia is now a single mom who is traveling around and speaking on gun violence.

Mark see’s Angelia at a bar and quickly gets pulled in by her. They end up having drinks and they discover they are both on opposite sides of the right to bare arms. Angelia quickly leaves but can’t get Mark out of her mind. A little time passes and things take a tragic turn for Mark and once again my ugly cry came out. Angelia reaches out to Mark about the tragedy she doesn’t realize it had affected his family directly, her message came at the right time for Mark.

Can these two help heal each other? Can they have a HEA?

There is so much more to this very emotional read. There are things that make you really think about your views on this serious subject and see both sides of the spectrum. These two came together in an unexpected way and helped each other through. I loved the ending, it couldn’t have been more perfect. Be prepared for some twists and turns, K. L. Montgomery does a great job of throwing some very unexpected things in to make the book even better. All of the secondary characters were great, I actually would love to see more from this couple and extended family. A MUST read for sure, have the kleenex handy.

The Perfect Duchess by Erica Taylor is the second book in the Macalister’s series. This can be read as a standalone easily but some of the characters carry over from the first book. This story set in the Regency period and tells the story of Andrew Macalister and Lady Clara Masson. The two have a complicated past but have known each other since childhood. Lady Clara has been away from the social scene and comes back to horrible gossip while Andrew is recovering from her twin sister had stood him up at the altar in the past.
I like both characters but especially Clara. She has a great strength to her and she is determined to right the wrongs that have taken place. I also enjoy historical fiction and especially this period. The story is interesting and kept me reading to see what would happen to the characters. I look forward to book 3 in this series.

A great read about the past.Jace Colton returns to Angel Beach after five years to try and rebuild .the life he lost. While there’s he meets the bubbly Samantha and is attached to her even though he won’t be staying for long. He falls for her but his past rears its ugly head. Can he put the past behind him for a new future?
A great read. Well developed plot. Well developed characters like Jace cold and harsh but kind underneath or Samantha trying to keep positive despite being unlucky in love.
I loved the visual detail throughout the novel in the sense of a small town with the beach and the bakery and small streets for a homely feel. Or in Emily’s house with the starfish and shells for a sense of the seaside and a conforting feel to the place.
The use of suspense was well written and drawn out to perfection to make you keep reading to find out what happened in the past..I also liked the use of blog entries into the story to portray Jaces thoughts and struggles for the journalistic feel which was a lovely touch. Overall, a great read and I would give it four stars

Sol’s father was killed during the course of his work and now the rest of her family has nothing to offer the king as payment for their land……except her. King Nøkkyn has a harem and no one really hears good things about it.
When he comes to inspect Sol to see if she’s good enough to be payment, Sol can immediately tell that he is cruel. She wants no part of him or his harem but without her as payment, her family will not survive the winter.
She escapes into the woods and comes across a strange man who is so unbelievably beautiful, she can only assume he is a demon. Fenris seems to take a liking to her but with Sol only has a short amount of time before the king comes to take her away.

I love almost everything to do with Norse mythology and this immediately caught my interest. I’ve already suggested it to several friends and will be reading the second book. The world building is fantastic and I need more

Hard as Steel: Book four (Hard as Steel: Book four by Virginia Wine
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Hard as Steel by Virginia Wine is book four of the Surviving series. This series should be read in order to get the full story. Many of the characters are ongoing and overlap from previous books. This book is intended for readers 18+ due to some content. This book has quite a bit of suspense, I found myself reading quicker just to see what would happen.

Steel Archer is like the ultimate alpha. He protects what matters to him and those he cares for. He’s the strong, silent, independent type. Steel has walls around his heart but he may have met his match in Nicole Lancaster. That is until he works a job that has him helping Grace. Grace is a lost soul and romance may not be in the picture for her in the near future. Who will be Steel’s match?

There is so much emotion in this book. It is written so well you can’t help but feel what the characters feel. I can’t wait to see what the rest of this series holds.

The Light at DawnThe Light at Dawn by K.L. Montgomery
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The Light at Dawn by K.L. Montgomery. I have read many many books by this author and I can honestly say that I have loved every single one of them. This book was the total opposite of her previous books but it is definitely a must read. This book was heartbreaking and you will go through at least a box and a half of tissues. How do you overcome the loss of a child???? You don’t, you just hope and pray to be able to survive. Hoping to find someone or something to get you through an extremely dark time. When you dive into this book……. be prepared for the tears to come and not stop. Definitely worth reading!!!!
