Savage Start
By: Isla Vaughn

This is the start to a new series. I really enjoyed this story. It is the first book in a new series that I have enjoyed this much in a long time. I really enjoyed the characters and thought that they were multidimensional. I also liked that this was a little dark and really was reminiscent of high school in many ways – especially the stereotypical high schools that were found in TV dramas. It reminds me of many of my favorite tv shows which means that I am really looking forward to more in this series. I definitely recommend this!!

Ruthless Hawke
By: Gwyn McNamee

As always, this is a Hawke family book that does not disappoint. This is the first book in the Hawke Family Second Generation series. However, it does contain some of the characters in the original series. This book also has a prequel, it is not necessary to read it to understand this book, it just demonstrates the amount of chemistry between MIna and Isaac. This chemistry was absolutely undeniable and continues in this book. Isaac is a man who will do anything to protect his family but in this book the danger is so close. I definitely recommend this book, just as much as I have recommended every other book by Gwyn McNamee.

Wild Lavender (Heart & Hand, #1)Wild Lavender by Nicole E. Kelleher
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

An enjoyable and engaging fantasy romance with an epic storyline spanning realms, mystical prophecy’s and royal intrigue. Healer and warrior Lady Aubrianne protects those she loves, so when she discovers that her frequently absent husband Lord Roger, maybe caught up in treason she must avoid them all being implicated. Meanwhile, Royal Guard of Aurelia and known rake, Larkin is investigating the increasingly wealthy Lord Roger, and what his dealings are with a rival realm. Craving adventure Larkin sets off, but is shocked to find the women who’s haunted his dreams ever since they met years before, Anna (Lady Aubrianne). Unfortunately the punishment for treason is death to all those involved, meaning that if Lord Roger is found guilty, so will his wife, unless Anna can prove her innocence. This is an exciting fantasy epic with a story full of ambition, drama, murder and sizzling romance, which had me hooked throughout. The characters and settings were brought vividly to life through the wonderfully detailed descriptive narrative, making me feel immersed in the story. I look forward to the next book in this series.

Evan (Billionaire Blind Dates #2)Evan by Toni Denise
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Let me start out by saying that this is the second installment of this amazing series, and I highly suggest you take the time to read Jake!
This book focuses on Evan, who we meet in the first book of the series. Evan is a silent backer of a dating business called “Blind Date”, which is owned by Kayla, a wonderful woman we also met in the first installment. Kayla and Evan have a good friendship, but that seems to be all, at least on the surface. Evan’s friends talk him into trying out the Blind Date, just as he had talked his friend Jake into doing. The rules stayed the same, four women would be chosen, one by each of Evan’s friends, and he would go on a blind date with all of them. Evan has a terrible experience with the first two dates, but the third seems so right to him, that he feels almost comfortable, almost familiar.
This is an amazing short and beautiful read, and I highly recommend that you take the time to read the first installment and keep your eyes open for the third book! I’ll be impatiently awaiting its release! <3

Chatroom With A ViewChatroom With A View by Glenn Maynard
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Chatroom With a View is a very dark and at times disturbing read. The book begins with Troy finding his mother dead in her own pool of spreading blood and he has beat the crap out of his father to the point of his father being immobilized and helpless! What a way to kick off this dark book! Troy, who is the main character of the story is not the nicest guy nor the brightest color in the crayon box, but he knows how to play dirty! Troy’s life is going okay between work and tending to his immobilized father until Veronica, a few night stand that he met through a chatroom and met up for some fun a few times, has contacted him and told him she is pregnant with his child! What a major upheaval in his already jacked up life. The waitresses that he works with are basic run of the mill bitches who like to play games with those in the chatroom so Troy decides to dish out his own sweet revenge for him and all the other guys that the waitresses have screwed over and played with. Very dark story but entertaining if you enjoy suspense and thrillers and being inside the mind of twisted people! The characters are very well written and definitely a very original book which is quite refreshing since most stories seem to be rewritten or updated versions! I must say that this was a very good read and I cannot give enough praise for such an original book! BRAVO!!!

One day an impatient piggy asks when she can go to big pirate school, but every time, she is told that she has to wait, it is the same everyday when she asks if she can stop doing something when she gets the chance to sail away there.

This little piggy is wishing her life away, that is until the day comes when she no longer has to wait, but what happens then, will she get cold hooves and decide she doesn’t mind waiting after all, or will she find that the treasure is beckoning and the call is too much to resist?

This is a charming story with an important message, which is brightly illustrated and fun for all the family to enjoy.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

When a young woman tries to sneak back into her family’s quarters undetected, she’s caught by a man in the shadows. Alone in the darkness, they lips are about to touch, but he is not a “ravager of maidens.” He asks for her name, before fleeing; leaving her. She also flees as to not be reported to her mother.
Wild Lavender is an engaging novel full of suspense, romance, heart break and love. The characters are wonderfully written, especially our strong heroine, Lady Aubrianne. This book was a page-turner from beginning to end; I’m looking forward to reading more in this series.

Wild Lavender is the 1st book in an epic romantic fantasy trilogy and she’s a hefty one. I really enjoyed this read. This is not a genre I’m usually drawn to; however, Kelleher pulls you in right away and doesn’t let you go. There is danger and intrigue, twists and turns, love and hate…I could go on. It’s all there. She does an great job at building these worlds and making the reader feel like they are a part of them as well. I connected with the characters and can’t wait to see where they go. The love scenes were well done and perfectly sprinkled throughout the novel. I really enjoyed this author and this book and can’t wait to sit down with the next installment.

This is a very unique MFM paranormal romance. It’s a very short, fast read; however, it did take me awhile to get into it. I really liked the premise of the book and the concept of them all meeting in their dreams. There is danger, twists and turns, and spice and the author does a great job of flushing out the character development and plot lines. Again this is a quick read and a great palate cleanser between longer, heavier reads.

The Man in Black by L.R. Liverpool. I really enjoyed this Western Novel. It is a bit long so be prepared for that but the story is very good. Its the story of Fenimore who is leaving the life he’s always known behind to go and be an outlaw. He thinks its going to be like the books but what he finds is not that. He ends up joining the Red Evans Gang and becomes Simon Shaw. As members of the gang begin getting murdered he’s not to sure he made the right decision and debates going back home. He also discovers while he’s on the trail with the gang that he has feelings for one of his fellow members leaving him confused and frustrated. This book is very emotional and will rip your heart out in spots. Trying to find out who is trying to kill all the gang members and dealing with Simon’s feelings it gets to you in spots. This is a very good Western Romance with murder and mystery along with romance.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the first book in the Heart & Hand Series. I really enjoyed being transported in time with this read. The author writing was captivating and really enveloped the reader in the world they had created.
This is a historical fantasy romance but it is full of action and adventure as well which make its different from a typical historical romance. There is danger, secrets and betrayal as well as a romance between 2 people who meet by accident but never forgot each other.
Anna has been married to Roger. However her marriage isn’t what she was expecting and when Roger goes missing for long periods of time she enjoys the peace. But things arent what Roger leads her to believe. He has a plan, a plan that would make him and everyone associated with him a traitor including Anna.
Larkin has been made aware of a traitor in their mists so he sets out to find and rid the kingdom of this traitor and their supporters. So imagine his surprise that when on his search he finds the woman that has never left his mind. Can it be true that she is part of this and being a traitor also or is she just an innocent pawn in a much bigger game her husband is playing.
Can Anna prove her innocence? Would Larkin believe her? And what happens the pair are reunited after all that time?

This is a very enjoyable read and i can’t wait to see what the author has next for us.

This book takes the advice from 100 different published authors, and shares with those it is meant to help…people who wish to be writers. As someone who has been working off and on to write my own book over the past few years, as I have time to do so, this book had some great tips and advice. I liked that the advice was laid out by different topics, and then by individual authors as well. This book is easy to pick up, read a few things rather it be just to get out of your own head, to learn something new, or to learn from those who have come before you on a specific topic. I would definitely recommend this to new authors or anyone who just wants to hear the advice of others.

This BOOK you guys! Absolutely amazing. The characters, flow, and the SMUT were all perfect. I loved reading about the tension between Vaughn and Xena. Especially in the beginning!

They had this undeniable chemistry but neither of them know what to do with it. They both know what they WANT, but they aren’t sure what the other does, and for Xena, it seems out of the question. Why would a sexy billionaire want to end up with her, even just for a night? Meanwhile, Vaughn can think about hardly anything else after their first spur of the moment meeting in his office.

I definitely recommend this book if you need a hot, easy read!

Bully Romance is one of my absolute favorite tropes. This short and sweet read explores the toxicity, angst, betrayal, drama and additional outlying subjects that bring the store together. Cole and Riley each tell a story that binds them together but the road that links them is tainted to start. While, this book is just a preview, it does have the desire of effect inducing excitement for what is to come.

Shameless Love is the second book in The Bennetts of Langston Falls Series by K.G Fletcher. I have read and LOVED all her books- and she is on my automatic one-click, no questions asked author list- so it was a given that I would snap up a copy of this latest release and I was really excited to dive in and immerse myself in the story.
As expected from Ms. Fletcher, the story and characters were fantastic and comes with an emotional wallop that I’ve come to expect from her. She has a knack for making my heart ache and go pitter-pat all at the same time.
It’s a wonderful, contemporary opposites attract romance with plenty of emotion, small town, chemistry, sizzle, forced proximity, family, finding love unexpectedly, and more.
Can’t wait for the next instalment!
Happy Reading!

Thank you, K.G. Fletcher!

Ruthless Hawke is the first book in the new Hawke Family Second Generation series by Gwyn McNamee. It follows on from Night Hawke (the prequel) and is every bit as brilliant as I thought it would be, and then some. But we are talking Gwyn McNamee here- and she sets the bar incredibly high, so this book/series was always going to be stellar! But even knowing and expecting greatness, she still blew me away!!
As I mentioned in my review for Night Hawke, which is where we first meet Isaac and Jack, I am a HUGE fan of the original Hawke series….. so I was really excited when I discovered Ms. McNamee had plans for this second-generation series. I absolutely FLOVE the original Hawkes with such a fiery passion, but this new series- starting with Isaac and Jack- OMG #newobsession #addicted #needmoreSTAT- this book is EVERYTHING!!!! And finding the family tree at the beginning- made my heart so happy- and I am beyond excited for the (potential)l books to come!!!!
Seriously, I cannot recommend this book/series/author highly enough! You NEED this book in your life.
Bring on Reticent Hawke (Book #2)
Happy Reading…

Thank you, Gwyn McNamee!

The first full novel for the second generation did not disappoint. The number of twists and turns made this a fast-paced exciting book. I do recommend reading the prequel to this book first as it makes each revelation all the more shocking. I loved how action-packed this book was while maintaining an air of sexiness. I also enjoyed seeing how the first generation grew up and continued to work together, all while still embracing those that are blood and those that are not. Proof that even the mob can not keep this family from keeping each other safe. I’m ready for the next book, especially with the final sentence

I had never read anything by this author before I picked up Chatroom with a View so I wasn’t sure what I was getting myself into but the synopsis really drew me in. As a fan of psychological thrillers, this book really piqued and kept my interest. Chatroom with a view was a dark rollercoaster ride with a strong storyline. The characters had depth and the feelings you have toward them shifts throughout the book. I felt like this was one of those novels that has you second guessing your thoughts and feelings and while entertaining, the book really did play into my emotions. I would definitely recommend this book and will be looking into more books by this author.

This was my first book from this author, but I am absolutely looking forward to reading her previous and future works. Overall I found this to be a very sweet and sexy romance novel with some suspense twisted within the story. Elyse and Walt were electric from the start and their chemistry was palatable from the moment they saw each other. I loved the secondary story line regarding his sister Becky’s online cooking show which helped bring them together. I thought Becky was a wonderful character and absolutely enhanced the story. The Bennetts of Langston Falls is definitely a wonderful series and I can’t wait to see what happens to the rest of the family. It’s an easy read that kept me reading straight through until the final page.
