My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I enjoy Mafia romances! This was my first taste of Russian Mafia romance. Hit on You was good. I enjoyed it enough that I didn’t want to put it down. I’ve read this author before and she did not disappoint with this one. This author is creative and thorough so you know everything that’s going on. Not one to confuse because info is overlooked. She sucks the reader in. gets you invested in her characters. Which is what makes her good at her craft.
Luke and Nikolai are two people from different walks of life who happen to cross paths. However that path now has them forever connected, even if Luke isn’t aware. She runs away from Nikolai a year earlier when he uses the “L” word. Little did she know he knew where she was and kept tabs on her ever since. And when she becomes a witness to an unexpected incident gives him the opportunity to swoop back in.
Nikolai is a made man in his Seattle family. Doing everything his uncle asks of him, while his cousin does what he wants. But despite all that his wants for the one who got away never cease. It’s when protection is needed, does he jump on the opportunity to come back into her life. Protection that he may need to give against someone of his very own. He just doesn’t know who.
Who would be that careless? And is it connected to his sister’s death? Those are the questions he needs to answer.
Love, lust, anger, stubbornness, happiness, sadness, devastation this book has it all. I wanted to read more about these characters, I didn’t want it to end.

Handle With Care (Chase Care Book 1)

I was surprised by how much happened in this book. Life in New Orleans would be interesting enough, but then Selma heads to Africa to help out with medical care and there isn’t a dull moment for her. Definitely kept my nose in the book to find out what happens.

Hunter and Selma have known each other for a long time. Started as co-workers and that grew to a very close and deep friendship and somewhere along the way it shifted again.

I really liked being able to relate age wise to both Hunter and Selma. Life is so different when you’re close to 50 than what it was at 25 and I’m sure falling in love with someone is even more different.

I think this is going to be a great series to keep up with and I’m looking forward to see what happens next.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The Muffin Shop Murder: A Delilah Crumbworthy Mystery is the first book in The Delilah Crumbworthy Mystery Series. This is a cozy mystery set in the small town of Snowflake Valley. Delilah is new to town and has always dreamed of moving to Snowflake Valley, a picturesque small town. When she opens her muffin shop, she hears stories about the bakery that used to be where her shop is located. Are the rumors true?
Delilah is smart and savvy with a heart of gold. She wants to fit in and make a place for herself in her new community. So, with her new friend and employee, she discovers the story of the previous business and some other odd happenings centered around her new shop.
I enjoyed this light read. It read quickly and filled a cold afternoon. There are a lot of quirky characters in this small town, and it will be interesting to see how they become more involved in future books. I’m glad I picked this book up and will keep an eye out for more from this author.

This book pulled me in right from the get go and I couldn’t put it down even once. Luke is a character I think a lot of people can relate with and she definitely is a character people will remember. Nikolai is a wonderful match for Luke and they definitely have a chemistry that leaps off the pages. There’s romance, suspense and much more to love about this story. I found myself trying to read slower just to make it last longer but unfortunately I was too excited to read the next page. It’s well written and has great characters. Five stars all the way and highly recommended.

This story was fun, I had my two nieces take turns reading it out loud. They each thought it was a fun and educational. They both found it easy to read their ages are 10 and 8. Reading this together made them both want to learn about different kinds of bees so it truly turned into a wonderful learning adventure also. My favorite part is the activity in the back it elevated the learning and I love getting to have fun and teach my nieces new things. Five stars all the way and highly recommend.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is my first book from Susan Specht Oram, but it definitely won’t be my last! I was blown away by this psychological thriller and couldn’t keep myself from the edge of my seat. I caught myself with a gaping mouth at different points in the story. Jacklyn lost her husband and is trying to deal with her grief but some of it is (understandably) getting over on her. She starts losing focus with her business and her kids nudge her in the direction of a short retreat. Jacklyn hopes that the vacation will help her through her multitude of feelings, but later finds out that this isn’t a temporary absence at all…it’s a psychiatric facility! There are so many emotions throughout this book, and I can’t sing praises enough to this author. I highly recommend picking up Shore Lodge and giving it a whirl. I am very excited to get started on the next book by Susan to get more of her brilliant storytelling!

The author did a great job creating interesting characters and weaving their story together in a way that was funny and unpredictable. I enjoyed how it spoke to the reader at some points.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is my first read by this author but the synopsis of the book had me interested in picking it up. Was not disappointed at all! The book delivered everything it suggested. I was sucked into the experience and unable to put the book down. I devoured this read in one setting. I will absolutely be picking up more books written by Glenn Maynard.

A basis in this story focuses on the idea that a killer gene can be passed down through the generations. It follows our main character Troy who loses control and sets on a path to do unto others as they have done to him. His ex-girlfriend, Veronica, is pregnant. She learns about this killer gene found in his family history and makes it a priority to protect their baby. These characters are well written making it easy to connect with them throughout the story. How will the story end for Troy, Veronica, and their baby?

Talisman (The Talisman, #1)Talisman by Tam DeRudder Jackson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Rowan has a lot on his plate: security firm by day (truly a cover) but under it all a Warrior fighting against a curse that was placed against his family by the Morrigan.
If Rowan can’t find his Talisman (also known as a protector) by his 28th birthday he’s left either becoming a slave to the Morrigan or a rogue warrior fighting for his life… and his 28th birthday is quickly approaching.
Alyssa is an overwhelmed graduate student trying to get through her dissertation on Celtic history. She’s recently had multiple losses including her fiancée just walking out on her and she’s at her wits end, only to come across footprints around her house suggesting she has a intended burgler or stalker. Knowing she needs a security firm she reaches out to Rowans firm but gets so much more than she bargains for… it turns out these two are the answers to one another’s needs and they didn’t even know it.
Rowan discovers secrets hidden from Alyssa and he also discovers who Alyssa is to him. Can Alyssa take on the role necessary to help break the curse of the Morrigan?

This story is full of adult themes and is spicy 50 shades meets Paranormal themes. There is a ton of dialog in some sections but if you can be patient it absolutely enriches the story but can go on in excess at times. This series will be intense and I’m intrigued for more.

3.5 star read

I really tried to get into this book, the premise was good and I felt like it had a lot of potential but it me it just kind of fell flat. I didn’t enjoy the multiple point of views and the time hopping. Or or felt like time hopping to me. To me the events felt disjointed, and it was hard for me to connect with the story and stay interested. I really wanted to like this one because it sounded so interesting but I just couldn’t. The writing was well done though, I enjoyed the writing and when I wasn’t confused with the time hopping I was easily immersed.

Shore Lodge: A high-stakes psychological thriller (The Millersville series)Shore Lodge: A high-stakes psychological thriller by Susan Specht Oram
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This was a hard book to read….but it was so incredibly well written!!

Jacklyn Stone has recently lost her husband. Of course, she’s absolutely heartbroken and things are happening that shouldn’t. The bank accounts aren’t exactly up to par, she’s had a fender bender, misplaced her keys….all these things could be due to grief, or is it something more?

Dusty Stone is a contractor and the son of Jacklyn. He’s recently convinced his mom to give him power of attorney over her health and finances. He’s concerned that she’s really losing it and needs help beyond what he or his sister Rose could provide.

Rose Stone is a hard-working single mother doing everything she can to provide for her son. She’s not been the most attentive to her mother but agrees with Dusty’s assessment to have their mom go to Shore Lodge for a short period of time to get some rest.

The situations that take place once Jacklyn becomes a resident of Shore Lodge are disturbing at best and horrifying at their worst. I really felt for Jacklyn in her grief and could see through several of these situations and why she reacted the way that she did.

This is my first experience reading a book by Susan Specht Oram but hopefully not my last. I’ll be looking for more books as I found this one very intriguing and well written!

This was a fun romantic sports story. Peyton and Ryan end up fake dating and unfortunately their first impression of each other is not a good one. Even though these two didn’t start off well there is no denying the chemistry between them. The more time they have to spend together they realize their first impressions aren’t who they really are. Will they end up dating for real? This was an enjoyable read with great characters.

Loretta lives with her parents and helps out around the house, one of her chores is to collect firewood from the woodpile and take it inside to heat their home during the cold, winter months, but one day while she is doing this, she finds a strange tube when it falls out of her armful of wood. She asked what it was and found out that it was a nest for leafcutter bees, so she returned it to the woodpile and checked on it when the weather warmed up.

As she watches the nest, she sees round holes appearing, she knows that it is the bees leaving the nest, but she cannot find the bees anywhere, she also notices more holes in the leaves of her families rose plants, but there is still no sign of the bees, where could they all be?

This is a charming tale which talks about the importance of leafcutter bees and how to attract them to your own garden, just like Loretta is trying to do.

This was definitely a page turner! While being a great story it also angered me to no end! The story is told from Jacklyn and her two adult childrens perspective. After her husband passes Jacklyn has a hard time recovering from the loss which is understandable. When she isn’t bouncing back as her kids think she should they try to help by sending her to Shore Lodge. But is Shore Lodge really what she needs? Do Dusty and Rose have her best interest at heart? This thriller will take you on a roller coaster of emotions. The strength that Jacklyn has is astounding and I love her character. I really enjoyed this thriller and the ride it took me on!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Dominic was a kid from the wrong side of the tracks but when he fell for Juliana Rutherford all his stars aligned and thought he had found the person who loved him for him but one night, one fight and he lost her forever.

Whitney is a marketing executive with a gift, but when you have someone continually chatting in your head she feels like she needs to answer the burning question, Who is Juliana Rutherford and why do I need to find Dominic Price?

After losing Juliana and being accused of her murder Dominic is out for revenge but when a woman walks into his life which looks like his past, can he really put the past behind him.

This is not the first book I have read by this author and won’t be the last, I loved the premise of the book and the twists and turns in the book were brilliant. At first I really could not relate to Dominic’s character as he was so angry and with the first encounters where cruel to the extreme but as there relationship develops through the story you understand the reasons and the heart and compassion that is within him.

This was a well written story with a brilliant storyline which is hard not to put down. I can’t wait to read more.

I am so glad for being warned as without it I would’ve been so confused. Though even with it it didn’t give anything away. The surprises were non stop throughout the book. Dominic and Juliana’s love story starts out slow and rises to a higher level. The writing was very arousing in all the right parts. This plot was a lot different than my normal reads, I would definitely read again and even look into other books.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

What can I say about this book other than I absolutely loved it! I couldn’t put it down at all, I enjoyed it from beginning to end, I can’t think of a single thing I disliked even in the slightest.

The writing itself flowed extremely well making it easy to read and the beautifully descriptive language made the world feel so real to me allowing me to fall into the pages as if I were there myself.
The historical aspects included, for example the politics of Wales at the time and marital ages, were included wonderfully and worked into the story amazingly well. This is something I often find can hinder the story, but this cannot be further from the truth here. I honestly cannot rave about this book enough!

The characters were perfect! They each had their own personalities, and I absolutely loved the main character, Rhia. I felt the way she was portrayed, her thoughts, emotions and actions really reflected how a 16-year-old may respond in her situation. She felt so real to me, and her growth was great to see the way it occurred. Rhia was amusing and sarcastic and I could not get enough of her.

The plot was well thought out, flowed perfectly and was not rushed in any way. I was gripped throughout and did not lose interest at any point.
This is a book I would definitely recommend, and an author I will be keeping an eye out for in future.

Talisman is the beginning of a series of books that involve warriors, talismans, Celtic folklore, and powerful paranormal powers and a bit of steamy sex! How could this get any better? Rowan is a warrior and as such must find his talisman before his 28th birthday and with only a few months to go, the hope is looking dim. But then a woman walks into his business seeking protection and a sense of security at her house and that’s where our story begins of how Rowan found his talisman in Alyssa and how they prepared for the goddesses return. Poor Alyssa had no idea of the protection spells, charms, and amulets that kept her safe and she definitely did not know who or what she was. Along comes Rowan and turns her world upside down. Does she have what it takes to be a talisman for her warrior? Such a great diverse cast of characters with very strong personalities and the sex scenes were steamy! I absolutely loved this book and the Celtic lore and legend written into the story is fantastic! I want to find my warrior now!!!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This was a great read. I really loved Jacklyn character. Even after everything she is going through when push comes to shove her fighting spirit and strength really come out as she fights for her freedom and her sanity. I really didn’t like Dusty’s character, I felt like he was always just looking out for himself and what he could get. His sister on the other hand i do believe she was doing what she thought would help her mother and was conned by Dusty just as much as Jacklyn was.

Jacklyn Stone is going through a traumatic time. After losing her husband suddenly and uncovering secrets he kept from her it’s no wonder she’s a bit all over the place and struggling with things. She needs time to grieve and to make sense of everything she is finding out.
However her children don’t see that and think she need medical intervention. Especially Dusty. He has power of attorney over his mum and decides he knows best. And that is to put her into a mental instution.
Packaging it up as a retreat to give his mum some peace and time to recover they persuade Jacklyn to to to Shore Lodge.
What happens next is Jacklyn’s fight to escape a institution she doesn’t belong in while trying to keep her sanity and come to terms with the deception and her sons part in it.
Can Jacklyn fight her way out and escape a place which wants to keep her stuck and “mentally impaired”. Does she really need to be at Shore Lodge after all?

It’s a gripping read that you won’t be able to put down.

From the very beginning, Susan pulls you into the story and you are in the setting of it all. The vivid image of loss is shown throughout the story. Jackyln is, as the kids these days say ‘a baddie’, and it shows from chapter one to chapter 56. Susan writes a witty, yet suspenseful tale of the ultimate betrayal. I would definitely recommend this book and even read it several more times.

He is a nomad who was recently called to come home by his Prez when he came across the book. Little did he know the dangers it would involve. Sheri finds herself in extreme danger and is surprised when Storyteller shows up to help her. Will he be able to help Sheri? Overall I really enjoyed this read we get some steamy moments from these two along with a great story. The author pulls you right in with her writing. I can’t wait to read more from this series. 1-click and get started today.
