I enjoyed this Book alot. This is my first book by this author but it will now be my last. The authors writing style is good and I was sucked in and kept turning page after page. The main characters are what made this story great, they were relatable and enjoyable. Life is fixing to become very complicated for them and I was right there with them through the ups and downs. I am looking forward to reading more by this author and I would recommend this to a friend.
Happy Reading!

Five Stars

Temptation at its finest. Never dangle a fruit in front of a starving man. I enjoyed every page if this book. I’ve never watched hockey but I can understand the thrill. Rhett and Eden are amazing characters. I felt their fun and loving natures through the pages. You could feel the energy and excitement coming from this story in waves. I liked how confident and open Rhett was. I couldn’t get enough! The author did amazing with this story. Every character had a reason and flowed together nicely. I like the attention to detail and the depth the characters had. I love stories that get you to the point. Stories that give you the right amount of background but doesn’t let it crowd the present. This was sweet and to the point. Great job!

Five Stars

I’m so irritated. Why do I constantly do this to myself? This author definitely knows how to wrap you in the emotions of her characters. To make you feel how they felt. Through the whole story I was slacked jawed with how much you got to know these characters. By how you learn to understand and live their life. I’m not sure if I could be as brave and amazing as Sarah. She is herself 100% of the time. There is no shyness no timid voice. I loved how she gave 100% of herself and communicated what she needed and wanted. That level of honesty is amazing. It just sucks that she doesn’t get it in return. I know millions of people out there that possibly feel the same. But it truly amazed me that the author made these characters so real. Yeah this one is definitely a must read.

Four Stars

I love a good story about fae. You have so many different directions you could go in. I felt the possibilities that could come from a story like this. The authors had a great structure for this story. Though it missed the mark on some parts. The characters were good but you had so much information repeated and changed that it was a little hard to follow. I wasn’t sure if the characters names where changing or if there were new ones being introduced. It was a good story and you could see the direction the authors were wanting to go it just didn’t quite get there. Cassandra is a great character and that’s why I did four stars. She is really lovable. It’s like she is an angel. Through the whole story I felt her and all she was. So kind, intelligent and beautiful. I think I’m going to stick with this series. I feel like it’s only going to get better.

Scoring Chance is a novella in the Mile High Miners series by Lane Martin. This is my first novella by this author.

This novella focuses on Rhett Crawford who is the goalie for the Mile High Miners Hockey Team. His life is pretty simple until he meets Eden Snow who is a live in Nanny for the team. But sparks fly between the two even though Rhett is warned to stay away from her.

I really enjoyed it and look forward to reading more by this author.

It’s really short but it has a lot of detail and keeps you interested.

The Rewind series is probably my favorite series I have read recently. I absolutely LOVE Rowan Shaw’s writing and each story is unique! Each story focuses on a unique relationship that will completely hook you from the very beginning! I love how each story teaches you that it’s OK to just be you and that love is love. I loved the unique bond each of these characters had and I haven’t read that in a book ever! Rowan Shaw and this series should be on everyone One-Click List!

If you want a read that will captivate you each time with incredibly vivid and real characters, real and raw storylines, then this is box set that you need.
The REWIND Series from Rowan Shaw effortlessly captivates you with each read, you are transported to France in which you follow the journeys of characters that you can’t help but thoroughly enjoy reading about. You will definitely be taken on an emotional rollercoaster with these characters and storylines but nonetheless, you will want to continue reading to find out more about their relationships, connections and journeys they take. While this read isn’t usually my type of genre being M/M but I’m so glad that I picked them all up and gave them the chance they so rightly deserve. This is a box set that shouldn’t be missed, this is an author that shouldn’t be missed!

King & Hunt: A Lust / Hate StoryKing & Hunt: A Lust / Hate Story by Brienne Dubh
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

King and Hunt: A Lust/Hate story by Brienne Dubh is a quick paced novella that is a brilliant way to pass an afternoon.
Brienne Dubh is a new author to me and I have to say this was a great way to discover her work. Although it is a short story – roughly 100 pages or so – it is a complete story with great, interesting characters and a steamy story. I found myself highly entertained throughout the book and loved the way Christian and Gabrielle interacted with each other.
I’m not a huge fan of novellas as I tend to find I go through them too quickly however it never felt like I was missing out on anything with this book. The author has a good writing style about her and the whole book had the perfect pace. I am already looking forward to reading more by this author.

The Flame And The Blade by Meredith Hart
4 Stars!!!!

Another great new find by yet another great new author. I just love finding new series and authors to read. This book was a breath of fresh air. I found that the author had a very unique world that she has created. The characters just jump off of the page and one feels as though they are in the thick of it with them.

Vethe and Lyria have two very contrasting characteristics but just really click together. I found the book to be perfectly balanced with just the right amount of drama and just the slightest undercurrent of romance beginning. I could feel the chemistry between these two and found that the author really was able to spin an addictive tale. I really like supernatural based stories and I like how the story unwinds and the author ends this one with the opening for the next. I really cannot wait to be able to continue Vethe and Lyria’s adventure and see how all will unfold. I can sense that there is much more to this tale that needs to be spun and told and I for one cannot wait. I really highly recommend this author .

In Other Words. Pamela Q. Fernandes really sets the scene, her attention to detail is amazing. I was drawn to Trish and her struggles in life, I felt her pain, especially young Trish, it was truly heartbreaking reading through her first 11 years of life. When Trish grows up and meets Micheal I think he was exactly what she needed to start to build herself esteem. Without giving away to much away, I will say this is a must read. The characters are brilliantly written and will draw you in from the start. I look forward to the next book in this series.

Mountains Climbed (Mountains Series Book 2)

by Phoebe Alexander

Wow this book took me on an emotional rollercoaster.  After reading the first book there were so many things that I wanted to happen for James and Sarah, and it took me awhile to get over the fact that James got engaged to Maggie. In this book we got to get more about how James is feeling and boy is he going through a lot.  My heart goes out to him. Let’s not forget all the feelings that jump off the pages from what Sarah is experiencing. We also get to meet Garrett in this story and that to say the least is very interesting. There is so much more that goes on in this story than what I have mentioned but I don’t want to give anything away so I’m just going to say this is a must read and I need the next book now!!! I highly recommend this book, I also recommend reading the first book before this one.

Forget Nico: Falling for the Wrong Italian (The Italian Saga #3)Forget Nico: Falling for the Wrong Italian by Gaia B. Amman
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

 

Forget Nico: Falling for the Wrong Italian (Italian Teens novel 1, The Italian Saga) by Gaia B. Amman is a young adult/teen romance- full of all the teenage angst, drama, emotions, banter, antics, and discovery you would expect in a YA story. The series is a fictionalized memoir of the author’s younger years, set against the backdrop of Italy in the 1990’s. I have enjoyed this series and this story was no exception to the rule- although the teenage drama really frustrated me at times.
Leda is a great character- a bit of a tomboy, and her life is set to get a little more complicated. Add Alex and Nico into the mix and things get interesting.
Looking forward to the next book!

Thank you, Ms. Amman!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

King & Hunt: A Lust/Hate Story by Brienne Dubh is a fast lusty read. This story clocks in at just over 100 pages and devoured in one sitting. I was drawn in by the title and stayed for the characters, Christian and Gabriella. The two of them have hated each other as long as they can remember but also are drawn to each other. This story is filled with funny quips between them and goes from hate to love. Can the two survive their truce or deepest feelings for one another? The characters are well done and realistic to the reader. This is a YA but I recommend 18+ because it gets a bit steamy in the pages. I overall enjoyed the story and look forward to reading more from this author in the future.

Mountains Climbed (Mountains, #2)Mountains Climbed by Phoebe Alexander
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Mountains Climbed is the 2nd book in the Mountains Series by Phoebe Alexander. This series has 8 books in it. Sarah and James’ story is contained in books 1-3 and the author recommends that these are read in order. The remainder are stand-alones and can be read in any order. I had already read book 1 and was excited to read the next part in Sarah and James’ story.
At the end of book 1 Mountains Wanted, James has been deployed for 9 months and has proposed to his childhood sweetheart Maggie, leaving Sarah devastated. If I thought that book 1 was the most angsty thing I’d read by Alexander then this one was even more so. Added to the angst from Sarah we saw in book 1, now James is even more confused and conflicted. He loves Maggie and wants to marry her, but he realises that he’s also in love with Sarah too.
Trying to get over James, Sarah embarks on a new relationship with Garrett. As much as she enjoys spending time with Garrett, particularly in bed, she just can’t let James go.
This book gripped me just as much as book 1. There is so much emotion on display from both Sarah and James. You really can’t help but be sucked into their relationship. I have to admit to not liking Maggie but ask myself is it just because she’s keeping James away from Sarah? Would I like her otherwise? I’m pretty sure the answer is no. In my mind she’s just not the woman for him.
I really can’t wait to read the 3rd book, Mountains Loved, to find out what Alexander has in store for James and Sarah. I’m sure it’ll be another emotional, angst filled read that will have me captivated as this book has.

Scoring Chance is a Mile High Miners Novella. I haven’t read any other books by this author so this was a new reading experience for me.

The characters draw you into the story right away. There are so many emotions pack into this book that it feels like a full-length novel. One of the great things about this story is that there isn’t a bunch of extraneous detail to sift through. The story moves quickly and keeps the focus where it needs to be. It is a quick, easy, and entertaining read.

Scoring Chance: A Mile High Miners Novella by Lane Martin tells of the slow building romance between Eden, a college student who has had a tough upbringing and Rhett, an Ice Hockey player who has faced a great deal of loss. They get off to a shaky start after a chance encounter at the home of one of Rhett’s teammates.

I really enjoyed this novella, I loved how the author slowly reveals secrets from the characters pasts and it doesn’t feel too rushed as some novellas can. The relationships had time to grow organically and they had to work for their HEA. I also liked learning about the supporting characters, and I am looking forward to reading Niko’s story next.

The Flame and The Blade by Meredith Hart has the perfect combination of love, adventure and monsters. I couldn’t put this book down. I really loved it. I think the characters were really well written, I can’t wait to find out more about them. Lyria is a strong, independent woman, she doesn’t let anyone walk all over her and that is clear from the beginning, she has been training her whole life to lead others and is very protective. Vethe is a wildmage, he has had a tough time of it, but I think there is more to learn about his past and hope that this comes out in the next instalment. This is an excellent introduction to this world.

In Other Words is the first book in the Boothbay Harbor Series by Pamela Q Fernandes. It is a story of overcoming betrayal, looking for where you belong, self discovery, looking for love, facing your issues, family, romance, and more.
Trish Holt may be a talented pianist, but she has some serious abandonment issues. Being adopted when she was young, she has struggled with who she is, and ‘fitting’ in. She’s looking for love, but so far has been unlucky in love. What happens when she meets Michael, a talented chef, who has his own issues? It’s a case of opposites attract- but will these two get out of their own way long enough to let love grow? You really should read the story and discover for yourself how everything plays out….

Thank you, Pamela Q. Fernandes!

First of all- you will definitely need a box of tissues and glass(es) of wine as you embark on this journey. It is full of heart-aching and heartbreaking details, which really flung my emotions all over the place.
Out of the Shadows by Theresa Sederholt is definitely not what I was expecting- it caught me by surprise, then hit me with a few emotional punches. It is a powerful story full of secrets, heartache, emotion, and dramatic developments that had me flipping the pages and reading along through tear soaked eyes, becoming completely invested in the story.
The story takes an unexpected look at a sensitive subject- giving an original and unusual perspective on the subject- in a very honest, yet sensitive way. But be prepared to have your emotions wrung out- because Ms. Sederholt doesn’t hold back.
This may not be what I was expecting- in a good way- it has definitely touched me and left its mark.
Well done!

Thank you, Ms. Sederholt!

Chasing Starlight: Cassandra’s Story was a sweet, romantic, and adventurous read. Cassandra recently moved home to begin working as a teacher when she runs into her old flame Michael. Things are going well but she is being hunted during her other task she is bound to. She is to travel to peoples dreams every night to collect a special dust. While there her fellow dream weavers are disappearing. Given an ultimatum by her father, can she fight against the odds to keep her true love and stop who ever is causing the disappearances?

This book was a quick and easy read. It was organized well and had an easy flow. I loved the characters and their different abilities and even those that didn’t have them. I thought Michael’s ability was awesome and I would love to be able to have it. I also loved how the authors ended this novel. I was not expecting that. Great read!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Chasing Starlight: Cassandra’s Story is a romantic fantasy story in The Daughters of Night Chronicles by Matilda Reyes and Jennifer Siddoway. Cassandra is a new 3rd grade teacher by day and a Dream Weaver by night. Just as Cassandra is starting to figure out her new day to day life as a teacher, her Dream Weaver duty of collecting the dust of dreamers starts to get dangerous. There are other Dream Weavers that are disappearing which brings much alarm to those around Cassandra, including her father, the Lord of Night. Cassandra must do everything in her power to remain safe, for herself, her students, her family, and her latest love interest. Cassandra feels torn as everyone is telling her not to return to the Realm of Dreams because she is in danger, but she also knows the importance of maintaining the illusion between the two worlds.

I will say it was refreshing to read a story where the main character dealt with anxiety. As someone who also suffers from anxiety, it was almost as if I was Cassandra as the authors described her panic attacks. The authors were very thorough and detailed which really helped paint the picture of the fantasy side of this story, such as the Realm of Dreams. I do feel that there could have been a bit more detail given when dealing with the main conflict. There was so much build up to it and it seemed to be over in a single chapter. Other than that I thought it was a very well put together story.

Out of the Shadows by Theresa Sederholt was a painful book to read. I have to tell you though, I read it from first page to last in one sitting. It woke up memories in me from my own past. Dane’s experience is not something that anyone that has been through domestic violence wants to share openly. It’s not like having a conversation about the laundry or your son’s little league game. It’s an experience of shame, regret, and fear. And if you have managed to physically and mentally survive it you spend the rest of your life trying to keep that door shut. Out of the Shadows is a book everyone should read. Someone you know is going through this, and they think they are alone. I did.

Scoring Chance is a Mile High Miners novella by Lane Martin. I have to admit I am not a big sports romance lover but this fast-paced enjoyable read had me wanting more. Rhett Crawford and Eden Snow both have a past that you will have you turning the pages and their instant connection was sizzling. Plus when a teammate tells you that someone is “forbidden fruit” you know that is just going to make you what that person a little bit more.
Lane Martin’s writing was great just the right amount of details to get you hooked but not too many to draw things out. I have to know more about the other characters in this world; please let there be more books.

Out Of The Shadows by Theresa Sederholt was an emotional story that was so heartfelt that it broke my heart. It is a story of pain and violence and being broken by what happens to those suffering through it. I applaud Theresa who has done a wonderful job on the writing of this subject and she has done such a great job of painting the picture which stands out and is so vivid. It is a very touching and thought-provoking story that you can’t help but want to reach out and help. Even though the story is fiction, as Theresa writes there is very little for those in the world who go through this and being too scared to own up to being less than what they perceive as being. It is a real-world problem and hopefully stories like these will help. Even after reading it I am still thinking about the story. Well done Theresa.
