Nobody Knows: A British Rock Band Romance is the first book in the Razes Hell series by Kyra Lennon. This is my first read by Ms. Lennon, so I wasn’t sure of what to expect going in- what I discovered is a wonderfully emotive friends-to-lovers contemporary romance. With drama, friendship, family dynamics, addiction, the pressures of fame, passion, and angst- this story made for un un-put-down-able read! Looking forward to more from Ms. Lennon.

I give Love at First Haunt: A Ghostly Paranormal Romance (Haunted Ever After Book 1) by Carrie Pulkinen, 5 stars.
This is the start of yet another wonderful series by this awesome author. Allison and Logan are great main characters — flawed but real with pasts they are trying to overcome. I love how this story is set around a medium, a real one who just wants to use her gifts to help people. She is so wonderful, I want her as my best friend. Logan meanwhile seems to have it all, but looks can be deceiving.
Unlike other books by this author, the whole story really revolves around these two people, but it is not all about their interest in each other. It shows how they each struggle with their past and how that is affecting them today. Plus, as the title suggests, there are of course ghosts trying to make themselves known. This makes things interesting in multiple ways.
This is a fun, interesting paranornormal romance book filled with an intriguing story and wonderful characters. I cannot wait to meet some of the secondary characters in future books. I highly recommend this book.

Hungry Business: A Short Story by Maria DeBlassie This was a very interesting and cringe worthy 4 star read. I read it in less than an hour.
We have a young woman who is lonely and dating, trying to find another human to connect with. We went on several dates with her that were very interesting. Will she find the one?
Overall this was a story that had me cringing and slightly grossed out. The author does a great job of pulling you quickly into this short story with her writing. If you’re looking for a quick read with a zombie typed theme this is the book for you. 1-click and get reading today.

Coyote Summer by Laura Koerber was an interesting read. As I saw another reviewer say in regards to this book, it held a lot of potential that just wasn’t tapped into. One thing I felt this book needed was a trigger warning. I didn’t see one at the beginning, and there is some sensitive content that some people I feel should be aware of. I felt like I was reading two separate novels, instead of one. The content was well throughout, but I feel like it would have been better split between two novels instead of putting it into one. I also felt like a lot of events went unresolved, and if not really that then that a lot went unexplained. I feel this novel could have been a lot better than what it was. I guess I was just expecting more? Or maybe just thrown off from something. But this was a novel that could grab you. It was very well written. Which is why I’m giving it 4 stars. I would definitely read more from this author in the future.

Goddess of Everything by Paul DeBlassie is an emotionally charged , magical tale of a mother’s love for her son and the son’s search for basically the meaning of his life. Although some of the character’s names I could not even pronounce, it was an enjoyable read. Goddess of Everything was incredibly well written and very descriptive. There was anxiety, drama and tension as the main character navigates his way to discovering the truth that he seeks. A plethora of exciting and spine tingling moments. A clever and intriguing tale that has you guessing right up to the end. A brilliant entertainer. 4 stars.

Hell in a Handbasket (Life is Hell Book 3) by Naomi Valkyrie 4 Stars
This is the third installment in this series and probably my favorite so far. It can be read as a stand-alone but the series is so good, you should read them all. Each book keeps getting better. We’ve met Tievel in the previous books and he was always an arse. I’m happy to see that there is more to him than just attitude. This story revolves around him and Oren. Oren really evolves quite a bit as well. By the end of the book, it was good to see how much confidence he gained.
The story is well written and there is enough action to keep you interested. I love the characters and enjoy reading about their escapades. The author does an excellent job of taking things from the first two books, which you think are unimportant, and tying them into this story. I have followed this author from her first book and her writing keeps getting better. Who would have thought that a demon and a demon hunter could fall in love?

Climbing the Walls by Sacha T. Y. Fortune is book one of the Hart and Cole series.
Kris fell in love with Nicole and he still feels that way. He’s proud of how hard she works he just wishes she put that much effort into their family. Nicole wants to be worth of Kris. She’s not sure how she managed to get him to fall for her but she wants to make sure it stays that way but it’s hard not to go running when her boss needs her. She realizes she has room to improve as a mother and she wants to do what she can to be better. Can she keep her family together before it’s too late?
This book highlights very well that marriage isn’t always sunshine and rainbows. It’s a partnership but it’s not always equal. The story was good and I found myself wanting to know what was going to happen but it felt a bit dragged out. It was very detailed but I think at times a little too detailed. I can’t wait to see how the story continues in the next book.

Seb and Mae – everything I didn’t know I was looking for. I’ve loved this series and knew I would enjoy this book. But I was unprepared for how deeply this couple connected to my heart. What an emotional and intense romance this was. The characters were beautifully flawed and the backdrop was just a perfect fit. I devoured this book and cannot wait to go back and read it again. Loved it!

Frettier writes such a fun story and I loved continuing this series in print and in audio. The narrator does a fantastic job conveying Linda’s emotion and diving into each scenario. Not meant for listening around innocent ears. But what a hilariously fun read and listen. Many laugh worthy moments!

I loved reading the book At All (The Adams Brothers Book 3) by Mindy McKinley. It is a wonderful romance story by an author whose stories and writing have never disappointed me. I loved the characters of Maelie Barre and Sebastian Adams. There is a strong attraction between them. What does their future hold? Read this book to find out. I loved the bantering back and forth between the characters. The story is well-written and kept my attention until the final page. The author makes the story and the characters come alive. This is a book that had me turning pages wondering what was going to happen next. Don’t miss out on a romantic, entertaining, and intriguing story. I highly recommend it,

Goddess Of Everything is a riveting supernatural thriller by Paul DeBlassie III. As I have come to expect from Mr. DeBlassie, this has an original concept that lept right off the pages. It’s full of vividly detailed descriptions, intriguing developments, and unique, interesting and well-developed characters. This book blends psychological and spirituality into a tightly woven tale, all of which had me turning the pages to find out what would happen next and how everything would play out in the end. This has a complex and multilayered storyline which will pull you in and grip you the whole way through. It isn’t a light and fluffy read- it takes some chewing to get through, as the darker elements take hold. The story is set in the mystical mythical Atzlan del Norte where we meet Gabriél de LaTierra, a psychiatric healer, and his wife Consuela. With children disappearing from the local orphanage, where his mother is also the Mother Superior, Gabriel finds himself thrust into mind-bogglingly twisted tale. When evil, love for your mother, loyalty, spirituality, and the truth mash, it spells for a great story- and this book is well worth the read to find out exactly what happens.

Bound by Secrets is the second novel in the Deadly Isles Special Ops series by Amy McKinley. It is an intense story, following Kayla, who is running away from an abusive ex and also offered a second chance with her childhood crush.
Kayla Kane is back in town visiting her parents after running away from her life. While visiting the local coffee shop to get her caffeine fix, she runs into her brother’s best friend and her childhood crush.
Jaxon is Xander’s brother from the first Deadly Isles Special Ops novel. He is currently trying out being a cop after being honorably discharged out of the Navy SEALS. Running into Kayla is just the opportunity he needs to revisit the past and try to win her back.
I love the characters of this series and the build up to Tyler’s story in novel three. The intensity and twist at the end were amazing! A very well written book!

First of all let me say this book is extremely descriptive and the authors power of writing like this is extremely well done. Has she seen what she thought she has is was it a vampire. As a massive vampire book fan I have got to say this book stands out above alot of others. I feel as though I have been transported to another dimension.

The Mystery of the Lost Avenger is the fourth book in Linda Maria Frank’s Annie Tillery Mystery series. Aimed at confident young readers, the series follows Annie, who in this book is getting ready to go to college, as she solves intriguing mysteries. The Mystery of the Lost Avenger takes readers back in time to 1943, to learn about the women involved in aviation during WWII. Annie’s great-grandmother, Charlotte, was a WASP, flying planes to transport them to military bases. When a note written by Charlotte is found in the remains of a crashed plane which disappeared in mysterious circumstances, the whole family gets involved in untangling the mystery of what really happened. I loved that this book focused on a part of history I didn’t know much about, and it would be a great read for mystery-loving children who are learning about WWII in school. It was also really fun learning about how Annie, as well as Charlotte back in the 1940s and the professionals at NCIS, approached solving mysteries. There are codes to crack, and forensic evidence to process. For me, this is a five-star book. It’s a really fun read and gave me lots to think about. I haven’t read any of the earlier books in the series and was able to follow the story without any issues, but now that I’ve read it I’m keen to go back and read about the other adventures Annie’s had!

Where Flowers Bloom: A Romantic, Modern To Historical, Mystery, by Nikki Vale is an interesting yet surprising story. It’s ideal if you are looking for a different take on a romance.
Kendyll is a romance writer who is desperate to find her very own happy ending. This is a story that is full of emotional and physical conflict. Kendyll is torn between her feelings and what she was brought up to believe is right. I very much enjoyed this story, I felt a little lost at times as the story floats between the past and the present, it was sometimes a little confusing. However, the story kept me hooked with the wonderful writing and the well-thought-out characters. I was intrigued to see where the book would take me, and it was not what I expected.
Where Flowers Bloom: A Romantic, Modern to Historial, Mystery by Nikki Vale is a well written story that fully caught my attention. It is a story that jumps between past and present and has you caught up so fully in what is happening that I found myself surprised a few times with the direction the author suddenly took the story. The book starts off slowly and builds up bit by bit. This for me just meant I became more invested in the story with each page I read. I thought the characters were interesting to read about. The main character came across as really strong which I enjoyed. It added so much to the overall story. As the first book that I have read by this author I thought I was a great introduction. I enjoyed the writing style and overall pace of the book and thought she has a great combination of good story telling and strong, interesting characters. I am already looking forward to reading more of her books on the future.

Where his friends really that shallow and horrible that they think they could treat people anyway they want? Sometimes privilege is not all its cracked up to be. Even though he wasn’t the one who attacked Claire he is still reeling from that night. Wonderful coming of age story but could have triggers.

At All is the 3rd book in the Adams Brothers series by Mindy McKinley. Each book in the series can be read as a standalone. As this is such a great series I would recommend that you read all 3 books, so it would make sense to then read them in order so as not to create spoilers. Each book contains the story of one of the Adams brothers. Having read the first 2, I could not wait to read Sebastian’s story as he seemed to be such a tortured soul. I absolutely adored Sebastian and Maelie’s story. Tenor saxophone player Sebastian has been thrown out of his band due to his problems with alcohol and women. He’s to spend 6 months sober and celibate before the band will allow him back in. Teaching saxophone during his 6 month sabbatical Sebastian meets fellow teacher, violinist Maelie Barre who has demons of her own to deal with. Mindy McKinley has written a very entertaining book. I loved the storyline and Sebastian and Maelie provided so many laughs and amusing situations which made this book a pleasure to read. It’s not all fun and games though and the path to true love never runs smooth and this story is not without it’s trials and tribulations for the couple. I also adored catching up with the couples from the first to books in the series and getting updates in their lives. My only issue with this series is that the boy’s mother didn’t have more than 3 sons as I’d really love to read more from this amazing family.

I enjoyed this story. This is my first book by this author and I look forward to reading more from her in the future. This is a romance to history story that is a little different but in a good way. I enjoyed how Kendyll goes from the present to the past. Wes is a contractor that is hired to bring life back into a mansion but will he fix more than just the mansion? There is an attraction that they cannot deny between them. The spirit that pulls them together is hard to fight off, will it put these two together? There is more to this mansion than what they realize. This is a great story about a spirited mansion that comes to life. The plot kept me turning pages to the end as it was fast paced. This was an entertaining spirited story that was fun to read. I highly recommend this book.
I really enjoyed this story. It is a teenager/ college romance. It tells the story of a young girl who is away from her family learning to adjust to college life and everything that goes with it.
Amanda has a plan. She knows what she wants and has the plan in place to achieve it. The last thing she wants him love.
That is until she meets Doug and he turns her world upside down. Now Amanda has choice to make and these choice have consequences on her plans. Add to this the stress of being alone without parents to guide her and things start to spiral out of control.
Can she regain control of her life again? Is Doug good for her or bad? Can she have love and also succeed in her studies?

The Traveler: Chimera Rising (The Book of Eleanor 3) by Shannon Nemechek is a time travel paranormal fantasy story. It is fast paced and takes up where the second book left off. The story is well written and keeps you immersed in the story as the characters are transported back through time to 1692 Scotland and meet up with an old foe. It is full of intrigue and danger, magic and spies, drama and suspense and let’s not forget the prophecy. Once again Shannon’s vivid narrative makes it easy to love and easily imagine her characters and the worlds she has created.
I’ve said it before but if you love Outlander, you will love this.

Hungry Business: A Short Story by Maria DeBlassie Four Stars
Hungry Business is a very short book (only 17 pages) by Maria DeBlassie. I read this book while I was waiting for a doctors appointment. At first I didn’t understand what was going on, but after a couple pages I caught on, but I thought to myself…. probably reading this book while at a hospital in the time of coronavirus was creeping me out about the undead. The overall experience was a really well written book about looking for love in all the wrong places. I’m glad I picked it.

Abbie Roads is one of my favorite authors. Capturing Fate has become one of my favorite books. The story’s plot line grabbed me from the first page until the last page. The story has an energy about it. The attention to detail creates a vivid picture in my mind’s eye. The characters are complex and complicated. The characters have been so written with such detail that they seem real. This story has everything that would make it a great story. It takes me on a roller coaster ride of emotions. I highly recommend this book.
