Three Made in Heaven by Elena Kincaid
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
All I can say is Wow! Definitely needed to read this now. Spicy but more than just a cheesy romance book. The characters were very relatable and it had a very good story line. Can’t wait to read book 2! If you’ve ever had a fantasy about 2 men loving you, pick this up!
Lucky Stars by Fantasia Yu
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
I don’t read sci-fi romances very often but I did really enjoy this one! The author was fantastic at painting the picture in every scene, I could picture myself being a part of the adventure with Princess Mora and Darin, an unlikely couple that I found myself rooting for from the moment they met each other. The story kept me hooked with all the secrets, self-discovery, humor and the ultimate challenge: following your head or your heart. The book ended on a cliffhanger that I wasn’t expecting, which makes me eager for me to read more of the story. I also can’t wait to read more by the author.
Handle With Care by R.L. Dunn
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
This is a well written story with many twists and turns. It makes you want to keep reading the next chapter that you are at the end of the book before you know it. If you like medical outbreak stories added with a touch of romance, this is the book for you.
Hunter and Selma have known each other for years and have been in different relationships until 20 years later when they can finally be with each other. However, they take their careers first.
Selma has volunteered to go overseas to help Doctors without Borders when after she arrives, an outbreak happens. Hunters and a team of doctors end up going over to Africa after her to try to help with the sick and to get their friends out of the country and safe back home. Everyone debates whether or not the outbreak was an intentional threat or not.
The author does a great job in displaying knowledge and understanding of the events in the story.
Shore Lodge: A high-stakes psychological thriller by Susan Specht Oram
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
This book had me on the edge of my seat from the very start! I was definitely impressed at how seamlessly the transitions from character to character were, with most chapters changing the point of view of the story one after the other. The story focuses on the story of Jacklyn after suddenly losing her husband at the beginning of the story, from what her experience is to what others around her can observe. Upon moving into Shore Lodge at the behest of her children, her life is thrown through a loophole, and I enjoyed watching her reactions to the events around her as she also learned to manage her own issues. I can’t wait to read more by this author!
Three Made in Heaven by Elena Kincaid
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
This was a fantastic and well written romance that had some paranormal moments and brought the steamy factor to 11. The author did a great job of keeping me engaged in the story and wanting to keep reading until the end. The dynamics between Mattie, Charlie and Cole were sweet and extremely spicy and the characters were well rounded and developed. The story had several twists and turns that kept me guessing how things would end. It was a somewhat shorter book, but none the less enjoyable. I look forward to reading the next book in the series!
The Authorpreneur Yellowpages by Winnifred Tataw
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Being a writer myself, it was a no-brainer for me to check out this book when I came across it. What I didn’t know is how helpful it would be! The only complaint I have is that it doesn’t format the best on Kindle all the time, particularly if you are using a phone, but that was a minor inconvenience when looking at all the valuable information this gave to me! Reading this book was like talking to a seasoned author, full of valuable information and things I never would have thought about. Reading this book has definitely helped me prepare for publishing a book, which is something I hope to do in the near future. Definitely recommend all beginning authors to read this book!
Grace Under Fire by Jennifer Raines
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
This is an okay read. I liked the idea of the story but the execution was a struggle for me at times. Sometimes it ran smoothly and others it was very choppy and cryptic. When a character asked “What do you mean?” To another..I was wondering the same thing but what they said did not make sense. Ear the end this seemed to get worse.
I liked the characters but my favorite is Bluey when it shouldn’t be. He is a secondary. The main female had a lot of issues to work through (personal and job). I see the author was touching on a couple touchy subjects. The family farm is a rough one and I can see the responsibility and pressure one could feel.
Overall its an okay story. The cover is cute and thats what pulled me to it. The blurb sounded intruiging. It fell a little flat for me.

Three Made In Heaven
By: Elena Kincaid
I’m not gonna lie, it took me a while to get into this one. But one I did I could not put it down. I truly enjoyed the dynamic between Maddie, Cole and Charlie. I thought it was odd at first that they only met in dreams, however, as they tried to figure out what was real and what was dreams, I really enjoyed the twists and turns. It was spicy for sure and I definitely enjoyed it in the end. I will say give this one a try because it really is a unique concept that I want to read more about!

Operation Blackbird
By: Ellen Butler
This is the second book in the Brass Compass Series. I will say that I think that this definitely stands alone and would make sense if you had not read the first book. This is due to it being a connection to the first one rather than a follow up. I love that this book focuses on the cold war. I truly didn’t know too much about it before, but I really learned more and enjoyed that this focused on espionage. I felt as if I was transported to the 1950s and I was truly invested. I love this book and hope to read more by Ellen Butler soon!

The Brass Compass
By: Ellen Butler
This is the first book in the brass compass series. And boy is it a good one. I cannot wait to read more in this series. I have started dipping my toes into the water with Historical Fiction and this is a book that has really sealed the deal with me continuing with historical fiction. This was well written and grounded in facts. I love that this book has a female heroine who has gone as a spy in the U.S. who is sent into Germany during WWII. It follows her and her mission, but also her as she falls in love. I definitely recommend this book! It is amazing.
The 45th Parallel by T.S. Simons
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
This series honestly keeps getting better and better. When I picked up the first book I never imagined this series would be able to sustain this longevity or that I would enjoy it as much as I do and yet that is exactly what has happened. Each book just adds so much to the series overall and, like this one, is a brilliant story in its own right.
I loved getting back into these characters and their lives. It took no effort for this book to draw me back into their world and have me engrossed from start to finish. I am reluctant to say that this was my favourite so far simply because they have all been so good. At the very least it is on par with the rest. This is a fantastic series and a brilliant book. I cannot wait for more!
My Inner Critic by Christine Bernard
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Anyone with anxiety, self esteem issues and self love issues needs to read this book! From the very beginning I was thinking to myself, do I have a stalker? This book was spot on for so many of my anxieties and self love issues, to a point that it was somewhat therapeutic for me to read. As an author myself, I’ve always wondered what it would be like to write about my life, but after reading this, I no longer have to wonder! This is the first book I’ve read by this author but it certainly won’t be the last!
Three Made in Heaven by Elena Kincaid
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Three Made In Heaven is the first magical book in the Made In Heaven series. There are many tropes to this book with ménage à trois, romance, MFM, erotica, paranormal and new adult.
Wow this is one beautifully written book. It stayed with me long after I finished it. I loved everything about it from the amazing characters to the world that Elena created. It is sexy and steamy, titillating and hot, scorching with flying sparks. If you get too close you will be incinerated.
She can feel them all the way down to her soul. Her soulmates. BUT Her dreams are just that dreams. Or are they?
Not wanting her to choose they visit only in dreams but with fate involved that is impossible.
I look forward to more but I encourage you to get this book.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars
I enjoyed Three Made in Heaven quite a bit. It was definitely a different approach to romance than I’ve read before. The author gives an interesting take on a MMF relationship. If you’ve ever wanted your dreams/fantasies to become a reality, this book gives you that and more.
Maddie, Charlie, and Cole became friends one night in their dreams in Disney and they never realized it would change their lives. The 3 of them would constantly meet up and hang out in dreams. Their dreams become what they wished for as their reality, but when one lives in NY, one in San Fran, and the last in Washington State, how could that ever be possible? It wasn’t till Maddie started to pull back and Cole received a dire warning that he knew he needed to take action.
The adventures these 3 end up on through their dreams and reality keep you intrigued. Make you want more. The premise kept me interested and I think it could keep too! Check it out!!!
I look forward to what this author does next, especially since this is book 1!
Straight for the Kill by Winter Austin
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
This is book 3 in the Benoit and Dayne Mystery series. Lila Dayne must, once again, face her past demons and nightmares, as more bodies are showing up. This time things are a little different, with Elizabeth Benoit incapacitated from a recent surgery. Now the two women have to race time to figure out who is behind the murders and finally solve the case. As they get closer to the answer, they start to realize the murderer may be closer than they think. This is a fast paced, edge of your seat read and I flew through the pages easily. There are so many twists and turns and I can not imagine this being the end to Benoit and Dayne, so I look forward to the next one!

Hush, My Darling by Winter Austin
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
This is book 2 in the Benoit and Dayne Mystery series. Hush My Darling is easily read as a stand-alone and you do not need to read book 1 to follow the story. Since I have not read book 1, I can not say if it directly follows the last book, but in this one, Lila Dayne comes face to face with her nightmare. She is in a new town and starting over from her past, where a serial killer was after her. With a new body now on her hands, she believes her past has come back to haunt her. The story, and especially the characters, was engaging and likeable. The author makes setting up the scenes seem so easy, and you can picture yourself in the story. I will definitely be picking up the 3rd book in the set (and going back to read the 1st one as well!)

Lucky Stars by Fantasia Yu
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Lucky Stars is a fun sci-fi romance. It’s great if you’re looking for some fast-paced adventure alongside the romance! I was attracted by the “Roman Holiday in space” description and it definitely delivers on that, so if you’re a fan of Roman Holiday and also space you’re in for a treat!
I really like the dynamic between Princesses Pola and Mora at the start, which establishes the difference in expectations for Mora as the eldest, but also emphasises her youth and independence.
I also love the descriptions of places and cultures – there’s a lot of worldbuilding gone into this! It’s a great book if you enjoy exploring fantastic worlds.
This book gets five stars from me. It’s the first I’ve read by this author, and I look forward to reading more!
Lucky Stars by Fantasia Yu
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Mora is a Princess and she’s bored. She’s fated to marry a prince from another moon and in only 10 days.
She travels to her betrothed planet but during some tours of her new home she comes across Darin , a simple tour guide (or so he says). The chemistry is instant and Mora doesn’t resist the call of it.
But how can this work? A tour guide and apparent past criminal who hardly squeaks by and Mora who is royalty.
A fast paced story of Star crossed lovers and a cliffhanger making me want more.
Saving the Bellydancer by Debra Parmley
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Saving the Bellydancer is Book Three of The Green Brotherhood: SEAL Team XII series, but Debra Parmley gives enough information that they could be read separately. Navy SEAL Cutter is not one much for love. Two of his team are in serious relationships and he is still looking for fun, until one night he meets bellydancer Zarifah. Zarifah showed up to work one day with a bruise down her face. Her now ex-fiancé had struck her in a rage. She left him and tried to make her life return to normal.

With Zarifah’s ex-fiancé still free, will she be able to enter a healthy relationship with Cutter or does her ex get ahold of her once and for all? Find out in Saving the Bellydancer.
This book is full of relatable characters and feelings. It is a quick read, full of romance and thrill. I did not want to out this book down.
If you want a fast paced, sultry romance, look no further!

Book One of The Green Brotherhood: SEAL Team XII series, follows Navy SEAL Diesel and Pippa. Pippa had narrowly escaped from her abusive ex-husband with her life and relocates.

Finding Bryce is full of relatable characters and feelings. It is a quick read with action, erotica, and romance. I did not want to put the book down.

The Man In Black by L.R. Liverpool
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
The Man in Black is by L.R. Liverpool, and I would describe it as a gritty thriller with some drama, action, adventure, MM romance, mystery, history, and more. It did take me a few chapters to really get into the storyline, but once I continued reading on, I found that I was able to get into the storyline. It was interesting to find that it had a bit of a documentary/memoir-esque plotline, which made it more interesting. In the storyline, we follow as Fenimore (Simon) leaves home on his journey to become a famous outlaw. Fenimore’s adventures begin and not too long after that is when the story starts to take off. Of course, as you will find in any good action book, there’s a lot of suspense and mystery, but the biggest mystery of all is The Man in Black that Fenimore can’t stop thinking about. Fenimore quickly discovers that these romantic feelings are quickly brining complications to the situation. But he can’t help but wonder where does the Man in Black fit into it all? There are so many details that are in the book, that you will have to find out on your own by reading The Man in Black. Happy Reading!

I don’t know many people who haven’t fantasized about having two men in love with them at once, so if you have and it was like a secret fantasy, don’t worry we won’t tell on you for reading this book! Elena Kincaid opened up about all the fantasies in this book. It had a real time storyline with all the fun additives. You’ll be worried for Maddie, Charlie, and Cole and reeling at the problems they face. Definitely a rated r book not super kinky but not vanilla either. A great love story to fulfill any dirty thoughts.

This is still a newer author for me. I enjoyed her writing style as well as her attention to details that bring life to her stories. They have a realistic feel to them which makes them entertaining and easy to read. I enjoyed reading this steamy romance story. The characters pulled me into the story from the start. They added so much to the story which made the story hard to put down. They are connectable, strong, and keep the story engaging. This is a story that not only has romance in it but some suspense added to it. What starts out as friendship just may turn into something no one expects. I enjoyed the growth and chemistry of the characters throughout the story. I really enjoyed reading this story and I highly recommend it.

I enjoyed reading this steamy romance story. This is an author that I never hesitate to pick up. This is my favorite book by her. One of the things I enjoy about this author is her writing skills and her ability to bring her stories to life. They are fast paced and hard to put down. This book is no different. I found this book to be fast paced and engaging. The characters are relatable and added so much to the story. This is a story where a couple of bad dates turn into something that was never expected. Will these partners find more than just a partnership? I enjoyed watching their growth and chemistry. This is an easy and entertaining story to read. I really enjoyed it and I highly recommend it.

Chatroom with a View by Glenn Maynard

What happens when you come home one day to discover your very worst fears? This story starts with a nightmare, and the rest of the book unravels from there. After Troy thinks his life is basically over, he discovers even more troubling news, and he just continues to crumble. I wasn’t sure what to expect, but I just had to read it. Troy’s story took me through a full range of emotions. The book was well written, the characters relatable, very dark and twisted. I know I will be reading more of Maynard in the future.

Sweet, romantic and erotic, that’s how I’d call this one. It’s a quick read about Cole, Charlie and Maddie. They came together in their dreams. So much in the story that I just can’t give away, you have to try the book. The chemistry with these three is sparking. The fact that they came together in dreams and met in real life is out of this world. The story is intriguing. I found the characters well-written. I was pulled into the story from the very beginning. I’ll be reading more from this author. I will be looking forward to more in the series.
Vaughn’s Xena by M.I. Rosegold
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
Vaughan has had his fair share of disappointments and his family environment is not the greatest, although money was no object, Love seems to be the biggest hole in his life. As the oldest child he sheltered his sister Veronica from the arguments and actions of his parents but as he grows older the more he wants that special person, until one night he sees her, and she then becomes his obsession.
Xena is living life, at college and sharing a apartment with her best friend who has been a god send to her, although Ronnie can be a little needy Xena looks after her like a sister, but as Xena goes through college she is plagued by the image of her dreams, the man she fantasies about but she knows there would be no way she would even be in his league let alone even try and instigate anything as he is Ronnie’s brother, until one night at the club and all her dreams are fulfilled but there is only one problem, he is her best friends brother.
This is the first book I have read by this author and the story has the faint feel of other stories which does not deflect from this at all. I must admit though I was ready to give up on the story about 60% in but carry on and as I read on the story got more interesting, I understand that it follows on in book 2 but I was missing some of the facts around Xena’s sister behind her motives and just background on the Ronnie and Xena’s relationship, like the reason behind their nicknames etc, but maybe that will be addressed in book 2.
Although the first half was slow and little wordy in places, I really enjoyed the book and the story was well written, the characters had chemistry on the page and some scenes where hot, hot, hot. I enjoyed the interactions between Xena and Zippy and there wacky relationship. I need to read the next one to see what the outcome is as this book leaves you with a huge cliff hanger and I want to know if anything happens with Finn and Zippy.
