Black Dog Rising by Kat Caulberg is a paranormal fantasy story. This dark tale is full of secrets and mystery. Kat has given us a plot that is enticing and is enriched with fae lore. She has cleverly woven in all the elements to give the reader an experience and not just a read.
Emma has fled her home and hopes to find refuge in England from a vindictive ghost. Only there is more at stake here where fairies are whispers and a hellhound is prevalent. Not only that but there is a four hundred year old curse and sees Emma in more trouble than ever.
Throw in some chemistry that is palpable when Emma is drawn to Toby who has as much baggage if not more than she. He is a lot mysterious, strangely detached and a little protective.

Askew Ever After: A Limited Edition Romance Collection is an anthology and a veritable variety of different, unique and delightful romance stories brought to us by some wonderful authors;

Beckinsale
I enjoyed them all but some of the stories I will mention are:
Entanglement (A Godcode Novel) by Adam Johnson is a little bit fantasyish and a lot Sci Fi. But an interesting tale.
Paper Love (A Chicago Christmas #2) by Aubrey Wynne is a sweet contemporary historical romance story. It is an endearing and entertaining read. Joss isn’t looking for romance but the more she ignores the man the more he sees this as a challenge he can’t refuse.
Sink Or Swim by SD Dalessandro is a tale where friends are broken apart but when the truth is finally shared will Vanessa understand or will the heartache be too much? Second Chance (the conclusion of the “Flowers In December” trilogy) by Jane Suen is an emotional journey. Connor’s withdrawal from the world after his mother’s death left Mary Ann wondering. When he recovers enough, he decides that he needs her but is she still there and waiting?
Her Generous Duke (Clean Regency Romance) by Arietta Richmond is a beautiful regency romance. Misunderstandings and two people who have to marry makes for an interesting read. If you are a regency lover then you’ll love this one.
Tomorrow May Be Too Late by Jotham Austin, II is a rom com that is a fun and interesting read and I enjoy reading romance from a male POV.
At Once: Adams Brothers: Book 2 by Mindy McKinley is a contemporary romance story that is another great read from this author. I said to sign me up for more of the Adams brothers and I was not disappointed. This is Mindy’s second book and she did a great job as she did with the first one. The story flows nicely and easily through her writing style. The characters and the story are a believable and enjoyable, relatable and did I mention steamy tale. I loved their witty banter and their toing and froing as they fell in love.
A divorce, a new business venture with the bestie, no relationships and life is ok. That is until one Mr Midas touch aka Mason Adams comes into her life.
One look and that was all it took for a certain non-confident yet fiery red haired beauty to come into his life and he was a goner. Unfortunately the road to love is never easy.

Hot Navy Seals? I’m in! Twisted Secrets is the first book in the Deadly Isles Special Ops series by Amy McKinley. Lust at first sight is what pulls Riley Evans in but is totally skeptical. Riley typically attracts me who are completely wrong for her. That is until she meets Navy Seal Xander Hale. The attraction is clearly undeniable. However, Riley doesn’t automatically give in to her attraction. However, Xander keeps pursuing her and she eventually gives in. Then things get a little hanky and needs Xander’s help to keep her safe and alive. There were so many twists and turns that made this book completely unpredictable, which was so awesome. The chemistry between them slowly smolders until it begins to flame. When it does it is hot and steamy! It was definitely a page-turner that I absolutely did not want to put down. I loved this book and cannot wait for the next book in the series! This series is going to be awesome!

Psychic medium Erica Miller is struggling to make her haunted community theater a success. She’s never had a problem with ghosts before, but when black-outs, confusion, and headaches plague her rehearsals, she’ll need the help of a certain paranormal investigator to find the culprit.

166 Pages of funny, emotional, sexy and so much more….. 2 people skittish of relationships (for different reasons) come crashing together with chemistry out of this world. With some bantering and steamy no strings attached fun what can go wrong…… What indeed….. Mindy McKinley did an AMAZING job with this second installment in the Adams Brothers series. My only regret in this book is that we didn’t get enough of the back stories but that doesn’t take away to much from the book. You need to one click this book AT ONCEView all my reviews

Do you love murder mysteries involving serial killers? This is the one to read! Capturing Fate is written by Abbie Roads and it is completely enthralling. Dolan Watts is an FBI agent that has a boat load of demons that he is battling. Not to mention the number of enemies that he has obtained over the years as an agent. To help him he meets Psychologist Daughter Dawson. Just like Dolan, Daughter is battling her own set of demons. When she unlocks those demons, things start to happen and a serial killer emerges. The chemistry between these two is pretty electric. It was super exciting to see these two battle their demons together. This was definitely a page turner! So full of suspense and psychological twists and turns that had me on the edge of my seat. I was so glad to see that this turned out to be a HEA. I don’t think that I would have been happy if it wasn’t. I was super impressed with this read and I can’t wait to read more from this author!
“Sometimes I wonder how I lived most of my life without really knowing that the paranormal world exists right along side the human one. Even though things appear normal for this tiny town, I can’t help but wonder how many paranormal things have gone on here, unnoticed. How many times have I come close to the world of magic and monsters and not known it?” (Oren)
Hell In A Handbasket is the third exciting instalment in the Life is Hell seriesby Naomi Valkyrie. I adore this series so much!!! From the moment I read the blurb on the first book, I was hooked- and I can honestly say that this series only gets better with each new instalment. This is a captivating fantasy with demons, banter, drama, mystery, sizzling chemistry, danger, discovery, more than a few surprises, and twists- as well as a heartwarming m/m romance. A seemingly picture perfect little town. Such a beautiful setting that hides a whole lot of paranormal beings and a lot of supernatural activity which goes on there- and the ordinary folk aren’t even aware of what’s happening right under their noses. But as we have come to learn in the previous books, there is so much more to Juniper Lake than first meets the eye. This is Oren and Teivel’s story, whom we met in the previous books as secondary characters. Oren has intrigued me right from the beginning, with the discovery of his Hunter heritage. But not having any training or any other Hunters he can call on for guidance or advice, leaves Oren feeling a little vulnerable. He really is still coming to terms with being a Hunter and what that means for him going forward. Trying to figure it out on his own is draining. Add a sexy demon to the mix and things really heat up. But he’s a Hunter and Teivel’s a demon- and a bit of a prickly one at that, so they shouldn’t work- but their chemistry says otherwise. Then bring a little surprise package into the mix- and this story really takes off!!! I really couldn’t read this story quick enough, flipping the pages to discover what happens next- and all the while dreading racing through the story, as I really didn’t want it to end. As I have mentioned a few times now, but it is worth repeating- Naomi Valkyrie is a talented storyteller- weaving such wonderfully original and completely captivating fantasies. Her work is always very creative, rich and dynamic- with plenty of texture and imaginative touches which enable her story and characters to come to life- pulling me into their world and whisking me along for the ride. I really can’t wait to read book #4 and see where we go from here!

The characters are fun and the tale is fascinating. This adventure builds on itself and truly does a beautiful job appealing to all ages. Really enjoyed it as a family read. Looking forward to more from this author.

A very fast paced read revolving around a murder mystery, Murder at Lolly Beach is about Eve Sawyer, a journalist student who is invited to a vacation to a beach by her close friend. Eve goes to the beach without any hesitation to have some peace time, but instead finds herself in the middle of a murder when the truck of her chef friend meets with an accident and her friend goes into a coma. The local reporter, Jake, invites Eve to investigate the case along with him. And then starts the cat and mouse chase to find the murderer, who seems to be always one step ahead of them and keeps wiping off all the clues and the witnesses.
Tension mounts as the plot goes through a lot of twists and turns till the murderer is revealed. A gripping plot, pleasant characters and an easy read, I liked this book. I am thinking of going back and reading book 1, which I haven’t yet.

Stormy’s Thunder: Satan’s Devils MC Utah by Manda Mellett
My first thought was when are people going to realize you don’t mess with the Satan’s Devils? I guess it just goes to show how stupid criminals are.
Stormy is a hot mess, but we learn why. Some of his problems are his own fault, but not all of them. I hated Stormy in the previous Utah book but as I learned more about him and his past my feelings changed significantly. Especially when he was with her.
I love how everyone is connected in this stories no matter how distant that connection is. We have the other chapters popping up and people being connected to characters in previous stories or connection to one of the Devils.
I enjoyed this book as much, and maybe a bit more because of how complicated Stormy was. I can’t wait to see who falls next.

Fletcher has proven herself to be a one click author with contemporary romance. But she has also proven herself to be an extremely captivating narrator as well. I have always connected with her written words and felt them to my core. Hearing the author bring her characters to life just added a depth to the whole story that was heartfelt and riveting. It’s a beautiful book, beautiful series, and beautiful performance.

Twisted Secrets is the first book in Amy Mckinley’s Deadly Isles Special Ops series and once I got into it (which didn’t take too long) I could not put the book down. I was first introduced to Amy McKinley’s writing from her Gray Ghost series and when I noticed she had another series with attractive military men and likeable female characters, I couldn’t resist. As I’ve come to expect from this author, I was not disappointed. I enjoyed that the writing style showed the storyline from both Xander and Riley’s perspective and that each character had a lot of background details that didn’t just surround their relationship. Both characters were really likeable and I wanted them to have happiness. I don’t read many romance novels because I am more drawn to thrillers or suspense novels so to find a book that has a little bit of everything is awesome. Especially knowing there is more to be read in a series. Another great book from Amy McKinley, 5 star recommendation from me.

Titanian’s Phoenix: Titanian Chronicles By Victoria Saccenti
This book took me on a great adventure. I was drawn in from the beginning and I couldn’t put it down. This story is rich in detail with great world building. There is action, danger, magic, romance and wonderful characters. I enjoyed watching Maya learn and grow into her powers. The moment Maya and Soren meet you can feel the connection between these two and their connection grows and gets stronger as the story goes. This book also has a lot of other characters that I grew very fond of. I cannot wait to read what comes next. I can’t say enough good things about this book. I highly recommend reading it.
Murder At Lolly Beach: An Eve Sawyer Mystery by Jane Suen was a really good read. I wasn’t sure exactly what to expect going into this novel, this is the first I’ve read from this author, and I wasn’t disappointed. It was a really good read, but also just kind of bland to me. It didn’t grab my attention and hold me that I expected it would. I’m not sure why, because I was expecting a little bit more. It felt not rushed exactly, but a little hurried. It was a very quick read and an easy read. Th characters were interesting as well as the plot. It did have a twist to it. I thought it was pretty predictable up till the end. All in all this was a solid read and I would definitely read more from this author in the future.

Daddy’s Girl (Freshwater Book 3) by Belinda Williams was a wonderful quick romance. I love the attention to detail and the development. Em was my absolute favorite, I adore a feisty female lead. I did enjoy Joel as well and his back story was really well done. I would definitely recommend it for anyone who needs a good romance fix.

Right of the bat, this novel grabbed by attention. I couldn’t put it down. AJ Renee is by far one of the most talented paranormal authors that I have had the pleasure of reading. Ethan and Serena are the main characters in this novel and they both fight to save Serena from almost certain death. While this novel is book two in the series it can be read as a standalone novel. I would recommend that you read book one first as the supporting characters are in book one. This novel is filled with amazing scenes that will make your imagination spin. AJ Renee has done an excellent job with this novel an I can’t wait to read more in this series.

‘Daddy’s Girl’ is an enjoyable and entertaining contemporary romance set in beachside Sydney. This is a lighthearted, fun romantic comedy with wonderful characters and I felt totally immersed in the storyline. Em Georgiou is not ready to settle down as she has her PhD to finish and a career to start. Joel Scott is completely focused on his architecture business to worry about relationships. Joel does not have high hopes when a client suggests he ‘gets to know’ his daughter, as he’s expecting a spoiled daddy’s girl. However as soon as Joel meets Em he is determined to convince her that he’s not just seeing her to impress her father. This book took me on an emotional rollercoaster whilst reading it as it has some really funny, laugh out loud moments and then some more emotional moments. Although book three in a series it can be read as a standalone story, however I have also enjoyed the previous two books in the ‘Freshwater’ series. An easy and engaging read which I recommend if your looking for some escapism with a good book.

Daddy’s Girl is a fun-loving romance story that will have you laughing and relating to the characters within the book. The plotline is simple but effective. Two people not looking for love realize that they need each other. The story goes at a good clip. I know I had to hold on because I was plowing through the story. This story is Joel and Em’s story. Em is a “daddy’s girl” who has a Ph.D. who is not ready to be with one man. Her daddy had other plans for her. Joel is focusing on his business to date anyone. Then there was his client who was trying to set up his daughter with Joel. Will this be a disaster in the making? Does Joel develop feelings for Em? Is Em ready for a single man relationship? I highly recommend this book to find out the answers to these questions and more.

If you love fantasy and paranormal books, look no further because Titanian’s Phoenix is the book for you. Victoria Saccenti did an amazing job building this world for us to visit. Her descriptive writing style can be seen from the first page until the last. I felt like I was on a roller coaster ride and I did not want to get off until I was finished with the book. The characters are fully developed with multiple layers so you can bond with them. Maya is unsure of the fantasy world and magic. Maya’s godmother, Anna, and herself are kidnapped by elves. Maya and Anna get freed by this unknown power. Now Maya is learning about everything. Maya finds Soren and the rest is exciting. There is a bond between Soren and Maya that makes Soren protective over Maya and Maya learning more about her role in the fantasy world. I highly recommend this book to see what happens between Maya and Soren.

This book is a romance novel that travels well throughout the realms. The magic and supernatural element makes it such a special read. “Titanian’s Phoenix” is written with such intense experiences in mind, the words are made to flow together beautifully. The main characters grow together and make each other better. Their relationship is the relationship everybody wants: intuitive towards each other’s wants and needs, unconditional love under any circumstances, and complete and total trust in the shared commitment. Read this book if you enjoy romance, lust, bravery, cool fight scenes, supernatural magic, and a whole new world to lose yourself in. The author makes the reader feel safe, loved, adventurous, and adored, simply by experiencing the characters feelings for one another and heir societal obligations.
This author does it again! She WOWed me and I became obsessed with this book! I couldn’t believe what was happening…with just about every swipe of the page! Envision….eyes bugging out of head and mouth dropped open! I kept repeating what…the WHAT?
Shocking and surprising are the two words I would say describe this story. I couldn’t stop the expressions flitting across my face or the stuttering of words coming out of my mouth. (See above 😉)
This book is closely intertwined with the first book in the series. A lot of the same characters with the two main ones telling a story of their own. I have no words to say about them other than devotion and stunned! Figure that out!
While the story might be crazy, fascinating and MIND BLOWING it ends on a happy note with me ginning my face off. (A great epilogue always does me in!)
If you have read this far….just one click already!

You are hooked to Zaryia from the start. The world building in this arrows is phenomenal and all the characters are very well written and crafted to be relatedablee. Zaryira is looking for her the reason for her dad’s death. Kiki is her friend. Konstantin is well who is he. Wow this book is amazing action packed from the start. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys supernatural and Shifters. You want action packed adventure with crime thrown in you’ve come to the right book. This is a truly excellent series for anyone who loves fantasy. These books are fast paced and you want to read fast to know what happening next. Once I started I couldn’t put this book down 5 out of 5.

So nothing rains on a normal parade than being kidnapped by a bunch of elves along with your godmother, the same godmother that has told you all your life that you are absolutely normal. To be honest, I would get suspicious by such an assertion made so many times, but Maya doesn’t notice how shady this is till she is knee-deep in pointy-eared problems and gets out of it by some mysterious power that she had been assured all her life was not a thing. Not long after these massive bombshells exploded in her lap and blew any chance of normality out of the water, her godmother (name of Anna by the way) tells her to go and find the owner of a magical bar by the name of Soren. I have to say, I quite liked the name Soren for a male lead, was obscure but not to the point that you got the impression the author had pored through a book of weird baby names that no one ever thought of. When Maya and Soren meet, sparks fly, stars align and they connect, with Soren realising that, even though it had never been in the scrolls for him, that she is his mate and will literally do anything to protect her. I really liked this, especially the fantasy elements. I especially liked the moments in the bar, wished it were somewhere that actually existed where I could just pop off to for drink, but alas with the way things are that is a fantasy. I think that Saccenti has created something really interesting here and look forward to reading more of her work.
Is This Me? by Tricia Copeland is the first book in the Being Me series. For me this book is all about the main character – Amanda – and the emotional journey that she goes through. I thought the author did a great job of portraying the turmoil that the character was going through, so much so that I was drawn into the story and really felt like I was taking the journey with her. The overall story has a great pace to it. The author has clearly taken the time to develop the characters and give them the extra depth that makes them so enjoyable. She really knew how to engage my interest in the book which I think it why I read this so quickly. This a great, clean, coming of age story that I would certainly recommend you try today.

This started off pretty interesting, thought the idea of The Vigilante had an echo of batman to it which piqued my interest. Don’t really know how I felt about the romance aspect of it as I thought it was a tad unbelievable, it moved far too fast for me, getting hot and heavy before either character had really had time to land. I mean I had some pretty awesome impressions of Orla when first introduced; strong-willed, savvy, and smart, but then she very quickly makes some decisions that had me baffled. I will say that I am not keen on these types of stories but for those that do like the steamy stories this is for you, with the added spice of the danger and the thrill of a mystery. The narration is pretty good too and kept me interested. I find that sometimes if the narration isn’t that good, I will switch off and struggle to take in the tale, but there was no issue with this, Price was engaging and a great storyteller. With all those things said I will say that Kells has penned a really interesting tale, I just wish there had been more of the aspects that interested me. Anyone that likes a good smoldering romance with all the beats and action of a thriller will love this.

Askew Ever After: A Limited Edition Romance Collection (Paper Love by Aubrey Wynne)
This is the first book I’ve read by Wynne. It definitely won’t be my last. Wynne is an amazing author and I can’t wait for the next one.
Joss is wanting to go back to her village. She feels like she’s alone in the world. Losing her mother made her lose herself. She made sure her father and sister were fine. The quote I chose for Joss is: “Spoken like a true father. Get back to work so you can continue to spoil us rotten.”
Ben is back in town and he needs to mingle. Holding monthly singles get togethers and there he meets the one. He has to convince not only her, but himself that he’s ready. The quote I chose for Ben is: “There’s something about that girl, sis. I felt it the first time our eyes met. It’s not a feeling I’ve ever had before. It’s more than physical, I long for her. When I’m doing something, I wonder what her opinion might be. And her opinion matters to me for some reason.”
