My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Moonlit Mirage: A Cook Islands Romance (Moonlit Destination Series) by Amy McKinley. I love how so much was packed into this novella but it was still a smooth read. Characters are complex and well developed, you can’t help but feel a connection to them. I’m always in awe of this author because I love the well written storyline and characters that you keep thinking about well after you’ve finished reading. I love a book that takes me on a journey that keeps me on my toes and this one did just that. This may be a short read but it holds no punches and is one of my top reads for the year so far. Five stars all the way and highly recommended. I can’t wait to see where the author takes readers next.

Before the Second Show by Thia Finn – Review by Sara Oxton

Before the Second ShowBefore the Second Show by Thia Finn
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Before the Second Show by Thia Finn a five-star read that will rock you. Rockstar romance are a hard one to get right, so I usually avoid them unless I know the author and enjoy their style already, but I took a chance on this one and I am so glad I did as this was brilliant. This was such a fast paced read for one that spans such a great length of time, but it was so well done as you get to see Emmy go from wide eyes 16 year old, to a woman in her own right, but as we all know that first major crush has a lot of miles to it, especially when the guy your with isn’t all he thinks he is. This is a stand-alone, but there are so many great characters I would love to hear more from, I will be eagerly watching this author to see if this becomes a series as I will be reading them if they do.

Dane Johnson was like every other man in his thirties except for one very big secret. One that, for him, was so horrific, he was determined to keep it hidden. He thought it would never see the light of day—that is until today. His fragile world has crumbled around him. The past exposed for the world to see. Now the boy he tried so hard to keep safe might be gone forever.

This is a journey into one man’s hell, with the hope that it will help others find the strength to be able to say, “I need help.”

Theresa Sederholt was born and raised in Brooklyn New York. She is a graduate of Campbell University in North Carolina, with a degree in Criminal Justice. Theresa now resides in the mountains of North Carolina with her husband – a professional chef – and her two adorable dogs.

Experiencing life first-hand is what she does best. Believing she can do anything has put her in some crazy situations; babysitting a pig farm and cutting the top off a mini truck. Her list is A-to-Z and full of endless possibilities.

As a flight attendant (there’s that list again), she would make up stories about all of her passengers as they came and went. It seemed only natural to put pen-to-paper and see where these characters would take her.

A story that started as a single woman having a cup of coffee – while trying to make it through life – quickly grew into a complex world of romance, mystery, and murder. The Unraveled Trilogy was born.

This trilogy may have had humble beginnings, but in 2015 it gained prestigious recognition. Shattered Lies (book three in the trilogy) won Inks & Scratches Book Of The Year along with Cover Of The Year. BTS (Book Trailer Showcase) Book Reviews gave Shattered Lies The Red Carpet Book Award for Honorable Mention Rising Star Readers Choice. Theresa can humbly claim herself as an Award Winning Author.

Theresa’s beliefs are pretty simple:

There isn’t a luggage rack on the hearse.

Give a girl some Nutella and an espresso, then watch her change the world.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

  • This is the second book in this series and it was just as good as the first! I would recommend reading these books in order because the reading experience is so much better that way! This book was good! Which I have come to expect when I pick up a book by this author I know I’m in for an awesome story. This book was well written and the creativeness and attention to detail was great. Plus the main characters are interesting and the author made me interested in seeing how their stories would play out. This book kept me on the edge of my seat with a few twists and turns and some drama thrown in. I am looking forward to reading more by this author soon and I would recommend this to anyone that likes romance!

The Flame and The Blade (Flame and Blade Series) by Meredith Hart – Review by Angela Hayes

The Flame and The Blade (Flame and Blade #1)The Flame and The Blade by Meredith Hart
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

 

The Flame and the Blade is the first book in the Flame and Blade series by Meredith Hart. It is a wonderful romantic fantasy- with plenty of action, adventure, magic, swords and sorcery, mages, paranormal elements, and fantastic world building.
Ms. Hart has a rich, detailed and descriptive style to her writing- which brought her world and all the characters to life. I was pulled into the story, experiencing all the action right alongside the characters. It was easy to get lost in the story (in a great way) and I didn’t want to leave until I had read every word.
Lyria and Verthe are so well developed, with their own individual personalities, quirks and flaws- the book definitely wouldn’t be the same without them.
This is a captivating start to a new series, and if this book is anything to go by- the rest of the series is set to be fantastic! Can’t wait to get my hands on the second book, “IN THE SHADOWS OF THE CITADEL”.
Well worth the read!

Thank you, Meredith Hart!

I loved Cassandra. I loved going on the ups and downs with her. Cassandra doesn’t give up! This story is fantasy with mystery and romance thrown in the mix. Though I do feel there were a few spots where the story didn’t flow well, I did enjoy reading Cassandra’s story, and look forward to future stories in this series!

I absolutely loved reading Chasing Starlight by Jennifer Siddoway and Matilda Reyes! The book took only a couple of chapters before it drew me in, and after that I was hooked! I’ve read several fae books before, but none like this. This one was very unique in its content and fae abilities. I loved the romance and slight suspense I felt. I was very anxious to see what happened with the Shadow Demon and was not disappointed! Also, in non-spoiler fashion, I absolutely loved the lion wanting to be called King of the Murder Kitties! I died laughing. I enjoyed this book so much and I highly recommend it!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Eden has goals in mind, and those goals include working hard and doing everything possible to make her life a better one than she’s been dealt with. Having been through a lot as a kid, her world turned upside down she wants to pay it forward and do good in the world. She has a plan, but all that changes when she’s summoned to meet someone about a job. What she doesn’t expect as her world changes again are to meet Rhett.

Rhett lives and breathes hockey. The sport saved him when his world fell apart. He had the one person he could count on ripped from him and he had to learn how to live again. He was angry at the world and no longer understood things. He’s living his dream and nothing can stop him. What he doesn’t expect is to meet Eden and have everything changed all over again for him.

In the end, they have a lot of ups and downs. I loved their love story! it was sweet, chaotic, hot, and one of a kind. Its a love story about compassion and understanding and growing. A fabulous read that makes you swoon!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

King & Hunt: A Lust / Hate Story by Brienne Dubh certainly lives up to its title of lust/love/hate. I really enjoyed this story and it had me wanting more. It is a novella that is quick and steamy, sexy and hot and is perfect with a drink for a few hours to escape. It is a fun story that will capture your heart and leave you anticipating what comes next. It’s like they say there is a fine line between love and hate. A really good read and I hope we get more from Brienne.

My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Chasing Starlight: Cassandra’s Story (The Daughters of Night Chronicles) by Matilda Reyes & Jennifer Siddoway is a short fantasy romance and an interesting tale to add to the series. It does take time for the story to get going though. It seems that being Fae is not everything it is cracked up to be when you have to live the life. Whilst I did like the story the premise was not quite there and there were somethings that detracted from me getting lost in the words and it becoming a great story. There were lots of mistakes with editing & words and that made me have to stop and read through that part again, so there was not that easy flow. There was also a bit of repetition in parts that didn’t need to be told again as it did not add anything more to the story. I liked the characters, but they did not draw me in they seemed to be a little lacking. Having said that if you can overlook these things, I am sure you will like the story. I look forward to seeing what the ladies have next.

3.5 stars.

Well, Thank you Brienne Dubh!

For one thing, I love the simplicity of the cover yet it draws you in! I absolutely loved this read, from beginning to end. This read had humour, romance, steaminess , it had me laughing out loud and had me grinning from ear to ear. For this being a quick read it didn’t lack in anything it was fast-paced, easy to read and brilliant from start to finish.
This author has created an epic storyline two incredible characters that I couldn’t help but love everything about it, I loved their chemistry and banter even when they were enemies.
This made for the perfect read to just sit and lose myself in in one sitting! I can’t wait to read more from this author, I will definitely be on the lookout for more from her.

Will they figure out what needs to be done? Will there be a future for Emmy and Alex? You will have to read the story to find out.

Sarah is trying hard to move on in her life but sometimes fate just won’t let our heads do the deciding. The characters are complex and well developed, they each play well off one another. Each having a story worth reading. The storyline is well paced and well thought out. I was completely hooked from start to finish.

The story takes place in Austin, Texas which I kind of liked having as a background. Plot and storyline was great, great characters with some funny aspects.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

How do you have a love story when the main characters are wholly committed to not falling for anybody, anytime. In Other Words (Boothbay Harbor Book 1) by Pamela Q. Fernandes is a book that shows us just how that happens. This is just such a sweet story. I felt like it was a window into the way many of us behave. We don’t say what we think or feel. Sometimes we do it out of fear, or courtesy, and then sometimes we don’t say it because we love. And because we love we are not going to cross the line that we think may or may not be there. Sometimes we lose. We lose opportunities, adventures, and sometimes we lose a love that legends are made of. Will Trish and Michael find that legend? Romance is not a genre that I read a lot but this one was well worth the read.

This was a fast paced, information packed book. I loved following Rhett and Eden. We get to see two people on opposite sides of the emotion spectrum, both crave love but one denies it and thinks they aren’t good enough and the other uses it express all feelings in one.
Eden didnt have the best life and is given a fresh start as a surprise.
Rhett gets an odd injury and needs to sleep at his captains house until he is better. Fireworks ezplode between these 2 and it was a ride to the end but so worth it. Cant wait for more in this series .

In Other Words is the first book in the Boothbay Harbor Series by Pamela Q Fernandes. I had previously read Bowled by this author and loved it so was happy to read this book also. I have to say that I really loved this book. It’s very different from Bowled but both are excellent reads.
Trish Holt is a pianist who has serious abandonment issues. She was adopted at a young age and was treated badly by her adoptive parents, more so when they had a biological child of her own. All Trish wants is to be loved. She has recently been dumped by her boyfriend of 3 years who has been having a relationship with her manager.
Michael Quentin is a top class chef. His sister is recently widowed and he is helping bring up his niece Hannah. He loves women but is a once and done kinda guy, certainly not relationship material. So when he lets Trish move into his sister’s house and gives her a gig at his restaurant playing piano, why can’t he get her out of his head.
Trish and Michael couldn’t be any more opposite if they tried. She’s desperate for someone to love her for the rest of her life. Michael doesn’t believe in love.
This is an amazing story depicting the conflict going through Michael’s head and the desperation faced by Trish. The interactions between the 2 of them are amazing to read, the sexual chemistry is off the chart and their sexual encounters are particularly steamy.
Will Michael realise that Trish is the best thing to happen to him or will he push her away? This book is definitely well worth a read.

Mountains Wanted is definitely quite the read! It is fun and steamy and you don’t want to put it down right from page one. I literally caught myself chuckling with the main character, Sarah after the first sentence of the book. Obviously I HAD to see where the author took it from there! I could tell you all about the story, but if you read the book, you will get the plot. To me, the most important part is how this book made me feel! It made me feel angry, it made me laugh, it definitely made me appreciate the steamy moments!

Sarah and James create a story that you are left wanting so much more of! Thankfully there is a sequel because I know that I definitely can NOT wait to read it! As always, Pheobe Alexander did an amazing job at truly making the reader want to keep reading, a true sign of a wonderful author. A 5 star read for sure!
