Three Made In Heaven (Made In Heaven #1) by Elena Kincaid – Review by Emma Samways

Three Made in Heaven (Made in Heaven, #1)Three Made in Heaven by Elena Kincaid
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Wow I loved this one! It had everything! Humour, romance, hot sex, a definite page turner.
This follows Charlie, Cole and Maddie as they meet in their dreams. Over the years and the continued dreams they come to form a very close bond. Each thinks they are just dreaming and that the other 2 aren’t real but they are all real people in separate parts of the country. But once they find each other then the real fun begins! It’s so good and I couldn’t put this down. Highly recommend it!

Shadow (Devil’s Handmaidens MC: Timber-Ghost, Montana Chapter Book 2) by D.M. Earl – Review by Kirsten Berkebile

Shadow (Devil's Handmaidens MC-Book Two)Shadow by D.M. Earl
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Zoey “ Shadow” Jeffries is the main character in this dramatic series. She is the enforcer for an all-female MC. This is book 2 of 5. I will tell you that this book had my attention from the beginning. Zoey, “Shadow” was sold into slavery as a child. She is determined to not let it happen to any other girls. So she and her bestie (Goldilocks) create an all females MC to help bring those who intentionally cause harm to little girls. She meets a Navajo horse rancher who determined to help protect trafficked victims just like their group Devil’s Handmaidens MC. There is so much more to Shadow that meets the eye. You will realize that as you read her story and you may feel a connection to her while learning more about her, I know that I did. It’s romantic, drama, tragic, and filled with women who know how to kick butt when it is necessary. This is a series that I really want to continue to read and in fact I am going to read book 1 “Tink” soon. D. M. Earl clearly has a way with getting my attention with this MC books.

In the midst of all the madness Fenimore, or Simon, finds himself falling in love with a fellow Red Evans member. Will a relationship happen?

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Ella has just lost her sister, Chrissy, to cancer and is now caring for her 2-year-old niece, Tessa. Life is challenging but Ella would not have it any other way, treating Tessa like her own. Ella receives a summons, in Chrissy’s name, to Taylor Law from a stranger claiming paternity and potential custody of Tessa. Chrissy never revealed who Tessa’s father was so Ella is worried they will take the little girl that her family cling to in loving memory of her sister.
Meanwhile, Jake is just protecting his family from being taken advantage of after receiving a letter claiming his cousin is the father. This story follows Ella and Jake as they work it out and their mutual attraction grows between them.

Jennifer Raines is now an author I will automatically read! This was a great read. Such depth and heart. Ella is strong and sassy, and I loved the banter between Jake and Ella. The Australian setting was fantastic. The story was so well thought out with a twist you don’t see coming and cleverly crafted characters – some with big hearts and others that I despised – a clear indication the Jennifer is amazing at this whole author thing! I definitely recommend!

This was most definitely a page turner from the start. I felt so bad for Jacklyn, first to lose her husband and then be stuck at the “retreat.” I knew it had to be a creepy place when her young grandson even said he wouldn’t like it. There are twists and turns in this well written psychological thriller. I didn’t realize it was part of a series, so I will be continuing on with it, and recommending it to others!

Shadow Wolf brings you into the tale of a human and a shifter, with the human as always being naive. This story keeps you reading by being on the brink of finding out what is so important about Tamaska. A good story with good r rated scenes. The cliffhanger at the end begs you to get the next book to keep reading the series, which is what I plan to do.

Wow. This book was such a god read. I rode the rollercoaster of emotions with this one. The twists and turns and budding love got me hard. Grace has the weight of the world on her shoulders and doesn’t think she can accept help especially from Ryan. It isn’t what she envisioned for her farm. The character growth is *chefs Kiss* and I probably cried more than I care to admit. It was sweet, exciting, and in a sense relatable!
Loved this one!!!

My rating: 3 of 5 stars

After returning home, forty year old Dusty finds a younger looking woman hiding in his stable.

Jo is running from the law after being accused of killing her boss, though she is innocent.

With the money for turning her in, Dusty could fix his ranch but turning her in doesn’t seem right.

Dusty comes off grouchy and mean but is really a good guy deep down.

Dusty and Jo’s first meeting didn’t start things on the right foot and there is an age gap between the two but I thought the story was well written.

I generally don’t read western type novels but I was in the mood to read something out of my normal.

I would like to read the next novel in the series.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I’m a big fan of thrillers- and psychological ones could be my favorite. This one was pretty great. The idea behind this story isn’t a new one- kinda reminded me of the story of Rumpelstiltskin (if that’s how you spell it). But i love that it’s a modern day telling and I ended up really into the storyline. I wasn’t sure how I would feel about it at first- but I ended up really enjoying it! I saw a reviewer describe it as bizarre and I think that’s the perfect word to sum up this book. Bizarre isn’t bad- it just means the book is different!! This was my first read by the author- and I’m eager to try more. This was a solid 4 stars for me!

This story starts with dreams overlapping and deep friendships developing. Maddie, Cole and Charlie are “soulmates” their intertwined dreams lead them to each other frequently throughout the years. Then when a shared nightmare causes panic, Cole and Charlie decide to go find Maddie. Walking out of the dreams and into a real life love affair. This book is wonderful. From the dream scenes to the real-life relationship. The three of them find their lives changed forever. Steamy sexual scenes and the suspense filled drama that lies waiting for Maddie.

My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Maddie is nine years old when she first meets Cole and Charlie. Unfortunately she only sees them in her dreams at different places. Over the years they become really close friends although romantic feelings start to grow.

Maddie starts having a refuting nightmare of someone in a hoodie pointing a gun at one of the guys.

I am a sucker for dream meetings where the people are actually in real and the two meet outside of dreams.

The reason behind them meeting in their dreams is stated but I don’t think it was ever clear who the person with the hun was and why the were targeting Maddie.

I generally stay away from ménage à trois MFM romances but I could turn away a premise like this.

It was short but a cute read.

My rating: <a href=”https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/5381449341″>5 of 5 stars</a><br /><br />
Yet another great book in the series. It’s fast paced with action and some steamy scenes. Master Calabrea is content to not have a mate and have non-committed relationships. That is until he meets Tansia. It’s been told in the Vade Mecum, the book that the Vampires value as a set of rules, that a woman who resembles Tansia in looks will save their race. She will partner with a fierce and noble vampire leader who could possible be Calabrea and have the power of site. How much of it is true? Calabrea is if course attracted to her physically but finds that he is becoming enamored with her for her feisty personality. Soon things between these two heat up in the bedroom but end up getting a bit messy when a former lover of Calabrea gets jealous. In the midst of these two trying to figure out how to make a relationship work between a Vampire and a human they are also helping Overmaster Descallia hunt down Isala. She is still out there building an army to take them down, but will she be successful? Or will they find her before any more damage is done? This books, as well as the others, can be read as a stand alone however there are some parts that make more sense when reading them in order. You won’t get lost if you don’t read the other stories, but you can get a better sense of what is happening instead of being thrown to the wolves so to speak and having to play catch up.

This was a good 4 star read. I really liked Maddie, Cole and Charlie. For years Maddie would dream about two men, little did she know that her dream would become a reality.

Deadly Intentions by Anise Storm – Review by Angela Hayes

Deadly IntentionsDeadly Intentions by Anise Storm
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

 

3 Stars

 

Deadly Intentions by Anise Storm is a dark romantic suspense with a quest for revenge, mafia ties, drama, secrets, violence, danger, intrigue, agendas, angst, intensity, steam, emotion, chemistry, sizzle, and suspense.
A quest for revenge turns out to be far more complicated than Viviana had planned, especially when feelings get in the way. What happens makes for a tense read.
I really wanted to love this story so much more than I did, as Ms. Anise normally delivers a captivating read… and for a while there I thought I might love this. But along the way I fell out of ‘like’ with our MC, and he left me feeling conflicted- not in a good way. Then there were the flashbacks and re-recaps that rehashed details that we already knew, pulling me out of the story and breaking the flow, which frustrated me to death.
Maybe I have just had an ‘off’ reading experience here- and I certainly won’t hold this against the author, as she has written some great stories. I am curious to see what she does next…
Happy Reading…

Thank you, Anise Storm!

A slow start but good read that surrounds two heart warming characters whom being at odds with one another. Being on completely different sides of the narrative while sharing a joint loss brings them together and closer than they thought possible. It deals with grief, love, and drama, and overall a good read. This book focused on development of both characters and story more than excitement and drive, so it was a hard start but good finish.

Master Calabrea: Dark Vampire Romance (Masters of the Consulate Book 6)Master Calabrea: Dark Vampire Romance by Sylvia Black
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is the first book I have read by the talented Sylvia Black, and I was hooked before I read the first page. Growing up I was always drawn to vampires, shifters and magic and this book has it all. From the dual perspectives of Master Calabrea and Tansia this book is an adventure to prevent a war within the factions, to protect the civilized world the vampires have created.
Master Calabrea is one of twelve consulate masters, each running their own region of the world where vampire history is entrenched the most. Calabrea’s region is the southernmost tip of Italy. A traitor, Isala is turning others from all factions against the current order, and ruler Overmaster Descallia. The world knows about vampires openly but there is order, no attacks on humans for feeding all factions cohabitate the world together. Isala is against this order and misses the old ways. Tansia is a human from the states and after a nasty breakup is finally taking charge of her life with the help of her cousin Embry. New place, new start. Moving to Italy her cousin has already found her a job at one of the Descallia Clubs as a server. Only she didn’t find her one job but two, the Overmaster has a mission to hunt down Isala and bring her in alive to question but finding her requires a special ops team. Tansia is very skilled in several languages and thus recruited as a translator for Calabrea’s team, she agrees but quickly questions herself on what she has just agreed to. With unexplainable desire between Master Calabrea and Tansia this adventure as a steamy undertone from the beginning, and with both of their pasts you wish them all the happiness they can find. After visiting a witch Tansia is informed that she has the power of sight, that it runs in her family and quickly learns that its true. Giving into their passion Calabrea and Tansia feel an undeniable connection that helps fuel their need to protect each other.
What does Tansia’s powers mean? Are they truly the duo the Vade Mecum speaks of? Will they find their happily ever after, together? The beautiful world the author creates pulls you in with every word. I felt emersed in the story feeling for the characters and hoping for a happy ending. The characters a well-rounded with different sides and realistic responses to the trails of their mission. I can’t wait to go back and read the rest of the Masters of the Consulate series and including the next book Master Campania out July 28th.
