Emissary is a standalone novel read as a prequel or companion story to the Star-Crossed Celestials Duet. It is a forbidden romance paranormal tale. In a perilous dark world where angels and demons are pitted against each other it is forbidden to fall in love with the enemy. Kai is an Emissary of Death and knows what’s at stake but for the first time in his existence he finds something that changes his mind. Byron is a demon so just by birth means he is the enemy even though he isn’t like the others. His job is to fight against angels but when he finds one he can’t go up against what will he do? This a must for supernatural lovers. It is a MM love story that is sexy along with plenty of rough action, a bounty full of danger, and a little slow burn steam.
This the second book in the Green Brotherhood: SEAL Team XII series. I have loved these stories and thus was was no different. It is a military romance so it is full of danger and action as well as having a romance that is passionate and captivating. I love how the protectiveness of Reed spills over not only in his professional life but also around the woman he cares about. Their meeting was dangerous and unexpected but you could feel the attraction straight away between them. Reed is definately a movie action hero in real life. I can’t wait to see if other members of the Green Brotherhood find their HEAs.

Hands down one of the best psychological thrillers I have read in a long time. If you enjoy hanging on by the seat of your pants this one’s for you. The grieving widow, the deception and greed from a child. All rolled into a nice, neat package. A can’t put down thriller for the ages.

This book sounded interesting per the synopsis so I dove right in. It wasn’t exactly what I expected which was a good thing as it kept me guessing for a bit.
We start off with a bang and then pretty quickly we are thrown on a crazy ride that I hope and pray ever ever happens to me nor anyone I know where family is concerned. I won’t spoil the book as it’s best read to understand and get the whole story.

5 Stars Straight for the Kill (Benoit and Dayne Mystery Book 3) by Winter Austin
Straight for the Kill is a gripping mystery/Thriller that will have you turning the pages trying to figure out what is going on to happen next. The twists and turns had me on the edge of my seat throughout the whole story. This is a fast paced story that once you start reading there’s no stopping until you finish. When a body is found Sheriff Benoit feels a bit deja vu as it reminds her of a case that went unsolved. And there are several similarities between them. I highly recommend reading this book to find out what happens next. I don’t want to give to much away. I look forward to reading more from this Author.

This was the only book I have read in this series. However, it was a great read, and I couldn’t put the book down. The main characters come to life in the story, and you can’t help but want what’s best for everyone involved. I wasn’t to happy with the way the book ended, but I think the author did an amazing job of pulling it all together. This book makes me want to read the whole series!

This is a chilling yet suspenseful read that kept me on the edge of my seat. I love murder mysteries, suspense, thrillers and all things true crime. As a suspense fan of all, this one kept me on my toes! I love that it added a much needed mental health esthetic to it as well because this conversation has to be held. So, overall pretty great read from all aspects.

Wow! I haven’t read a thriller that kept me this on edge in a long time! It definitely had my heart pounding, had me second guessing everything, and made me feel so distrustful of everyone – everything I love in a book. I highly recommend this to fans of psychological thrillers; you won’t be disappointed!

I know this isn’t on the author but I’d like to warn other readers. On my phone, the formate is an eyesore. There’s no space between the chapter number and the paragraph, making it look like it was part of the sentence. However, on my kindle the pages were normal and better to read. I will admit I judged this book on its cover, even after reading it the photograph doesn’t match the characters to me. At least not for Rae, but I really loved the story. I swooned over Dean. When he wanted to spend the day with her to just get her out of his system and then telling her that he’d be thinking about her all day if they didn’t, I was like even thinking, ‘I would spend the day with this man.’ I loved Rae’s character, she was her own person, sure, most independent women written in books have a thing against love but that wasn’t her personality. She has a going with the flow vibe, who might push away men but hasn’t signed off on them completely. Spoiler, the story does end in a happy ending. Which I wasn’t a fan of. Not that they’re happy, I’m glad they are but it felt unrealistic to me considering they just had a breakup over trust issues. Other than that I still loved the adventure these two had together.

Oh man, the drama, tension and suspense in this, the end of the series, was out of this world! Secrets revealed, betrayals, and so much more. The characters are so well-written and fit into the plot perfectly. I found the whole “desendants” storyline fascinating. That ending surprised me. A wonderful book and now I have to go back and read books 1 and 2.

This novel was well written. It was fast paced, complex, and inclusive. Although, I would have liked to see more inclusivity in this book. For a YA book, an author can really dive into the hardships, trials, and tribulations that nonbinary individuals face in today’s society. It has potential to be a great book for youth that are struggling to find themselves, but I would have liked to see more of it than the author intertwined in this story. Regardless, the author does a great job with the characters and the plot of this novel.
From the beginning, you are sucked into this story of Ruarnon and Linh. The amount of detail that the author puts into this novel is outstanding. I just wish the author would have focused more on the character building. That is my only complaint about this book. If you enjoy stories with monsters, war, and tough decision making then this book is for you. You will not want to put it down until you finish it.

Ummmmmmm WOW! I have so many words I could use to describe my feelings about this book! But the very first and foremost is disgust! Not with the book entirely, but with the character Dusty!!!!!! He is a pathetic son and disgusting human being. Who in the world doesn’t feel it is wrong to treat your very own mother the way he does his. This book was emotionally hard to read. But it was so well written I couldn’t stop! I read it in just a couple hours.

Master Calabrea is the sixth book in the Masters of the Consulate series by Sylvia Black. This series just gets better with each new instalment- and I don’t need any more enticement than sexy vampires. Again, as with the rest of the series, this is a fantastic paranormal romance series- a bit of a romantic suspense/dark romance with an underworld society, a fated mates element, chemistry, agendas, politics, magic, danger, emotion, action, dramatic developments, and plenty of steam. I highly recommend reading the other books in the series before beginning this one. Because even though you could read this as a standalone, as each book in the series focuses on its own separate character/s, and there are also some interconnected details, as well as recurring characters that span the series- so I really recommend reading from the beginning, so you know what’s happened right from the start. The best part about this series is that there are 12 books planned…. which means more sexy vampires still to come! Oh, and did I mention VAMPIRES!!!!! Bring on Book Seven!!! Can’t wait!!! Happy Reading…

Dusty is a rancher of sorts, as the money dries up due to gambling he has to sell most of his cattle and horses to pay his debts, but one day when he finds Lovely Jo in his stables his world is turned upside down.
Lovely Jo worked in the big house looking after the lady but one night everything changes, and she finds herself running for her life. After being accused of murdering the master of the house she is on the run because if they find her, she will be hung with no real trial. Dusty has always been nice and kind to her so hiding in his stables. She is relatively safe as she has always had a soft spot for the older man and he for her, can she melt Dusty’s heart and feel the way she does about him.
This was a lovely novella with a subject which was wrote with delicacy and empathy, I loved the brave courage of Lovely Jo and her sheer faith in Dusty that he would not give her up, but I also like the determination of Dusty in the end to believe her and fight for justice and what was right against the law. This is a lovely short story with a heart-warming undertone and a happily ever after.

Rae Allen has everything she wants in life, her dream job which takes her all over the world reviewing the best hotels and resorts, but when she is begged by a friend to cover a story regarding local architecture she jumps at the chance to review the house and its on her way back home.
Arriving at the house she is amazed by the sheer beauty of the surrounding area, but when she knocks the door and no one answers she investigates around the back and is stopped in her tracks by the most handsome man she has seen, but that all fades when he opens his mouth and he becomes an ass.
Dean is recovering from a heartbreak which happened three years earlier, sworn off relationships but when Rae stumbled into his life he knew she was different. When he becomes in the friends zone he tries to make he see that they could be much more, when one night sparks fly and there is no going back. Can Dean get over the past and can Rae trust he really has feelings for her, you will have to read to find out.
I loved these characters from the start of the story. The story is complex and well written with the suspension of will they, won’t they but you are so drawn to the characters that you want everything to work out. I loved the Rae character and her fierce independence which is refreshing sometimes in a romance novel but she gives as good as she gets to Dean. I loved the dynamic between Dean’s family and the way they are as a family was brilliant.
I liked the way the author always drew in the element of friends can be just as close as family and the relationship between Rae and Brandon was written brilliantly. I can’t wait to read the next book and see if Brandon gets his love and fairy-tale that he so desperately wants.

This is the first book I’ve read by this author. I struggled a little with the different view points and time hopping but overall enjoyed this book. It did keep my interest, needing to know what was going to happen next. Jacklyn is a grieving widow who’s adult children convince her to go to a grief facility. She sure does not get to relax. Plenty of twists in this read. Definitely recommend.

OMFG!! This book. Wow. It starts off a little dark then gets twisted and then adds a little crazy into the mix. I am not sure who my favorite character is. Becky/Veronica for her stalker-tendencies. Troy for just trying to survive the crap hand he was dealt and not understand card references. Pops for playing Troy for a week but helping him in the end. Stitch for just being Stitch.
After an abusive childhood that turned into an abusive adulthood, Troy accidently watches his father murder his mother. When Troy tries to save his mom, he gets a shovel upside the head for his trouble. After getting the shovel away from his father, Troy beats his father nearly to death but can’t quite swing that final blow. Troy is in panic mode and doesn’t know what to do. Sprinkle in a woman that he dated for two weeks now claiming she is pregnant with his child, Troy is having a breakdown. Troy also overhears two women that used to torment him from elementary to high school talking about catfishing men in chatrooms. Troy decides that he is going to get the women back by doing the same thing to them. This is where things really go wrong.
Despite Troy wanting to hurt the women that now work for him, he keeps having bouts of consciousness. When his plans to trick them kinda take a way wrong turn, Becky/Veronica shows up and brings her merry bag of unmedicated mental health issues with her. Troy thinks that Becky/Veronica is going to turn him in for all the bad stuff going on at his house, but she jumps right in and starts playing house like what is going on is normal. When Troy finds out that Becky/Veronica is actually Becky impersonating her sister Veronica and not pregnant with his child, Becky doesn’t take it well. Madness and mayhem ensue. Then things get crazy. Wow. The ending was not what I was expecting.
If you want something different, something out of the ordinary, This is your book. What a wild ride!!!

This is the first book I have read by Glenn Maynard. I was intrigued by the Lizzy Borden connection in the story. This book did not disappoint. I expected it to be dark and it was. The author had us jump right in to Troy’s life instead of giving a back story and I think it was the right approach. I struggled whether to feel sorry for Troy or to hate him. I would recommend this book but be warned, it is dark.

Oh my I wasn’t expecting so much of this series! I am so glad that I decided to read this post apocalyptic series even though it isn’t the norm for me. I did lose some sleep because I couldn’t wait to finish it. Quite a few times I fell asleep with the eBook in my hand, as I do most of my reading at night once my kiddos are in bed. Anyways, this series starts out with Cam. The first two books are in his point of view. The third book switches from his point of view to that of his wife’s (Freyja). Then books four and five are in her view. But book six is in Caitlin’s point of view. She is one of the children that grew up on Lewis. She and her sister Seraphine are fed up with their lives. As their lives have been calculated since before birth they long for something different. More adventure. They were created for the sole purpose of ensuring the survival of the human race. A virus in the water killed the world. The plants, the animals, and most of the humans. Scientist quickly came up with a plan to place biodomes around the world to try and save the human race (read more in book 1). There was a very lengthy test to pick candidates to live while everyone else perished. About 300 people were in each dome. Some domes connect, but that’s a whole thing (again read the rest of the series for all that craziness!) itself. Most domes were on the coast or on islands, but there were a few inland as well. Scientist resided in two of the domes, whereas the rest of the selected people were spread out in the other domes. Back to the girls. Being immune children who’s purpose is to save the human race, there is a lot of pressure on them. Ordered around and everything planned for them gets old fast. Being 21 with a special role to live up to, but what if you reject your sole purpose? You’ve been specifically designed for a reason, but you don’t care. Cait and Sera endanger not only themselves but everyone they love when they run off. Embarking on a very dangerous and yet thrilling journey, they reactivate the Nexus (read the other books for more info on that too!! Just read the set man!!) and discover new underwater worlds they never new existed. Will this journey end up killing one or both of them? What about their loved ones? Will they survive through these once again hard times. Dangerous people in a dangerous world that you know nothing about isn’t want these girls thought about, but now they must face that and more! They have opened up their home to invasion by struggling communities and they have to stay alive long enough to contact their family. Can they even get back home? What will they have to sacrifice in order to make it back? I can’t wait for the author to write more once rested! This is such a wonderful series!! If you read this set you HAVE to read it in order. You could read this one as a stand alone, BUT you get so much information in the others that you will probably kick yourself for it. Trust me, you want to read them all! I will be not so patiently waiting for more!!!

Simons – Review by Jaimie Salmon-Colburn
Have you started this set yet?? If not you need to!! Go grab them all and buckle down for a great story! This series can totally become a movie that I would watch! It is so good!! For those who haven’t read any of the books yet I will TRY not to give any spoilers from any of them, but if anything small slips in any of my reviews I apologize. It is such a great set and so much happens in ever single book! The first two books are in Cam’s point of view. The third starts in his view, but then switches to his wife’s (Freyja) point of view. Book 4 and 5 are also in her point of view. So here we go again…. After getting MORE life changing news, AGAIN! The residents of Lewis (& Roseglen) are once again thrust into the thick of things to protect their families. Drastic action is required and they are forced to see who behind this latest threat. Will life ever be normal again for this world? All they want is to be left in peace, be free, safe, and secure. Is that to much to ask in a post apocalyptic world? Discovering this newest threat and eliminating it is the only course here to keep their children protected and safe. Before it takes all their lives Freyja, some old friends, and even some new friends are forced into action. What will happen next?! I am sad that this set is coming to a close, but I can’t wait to read book 6 either! I am SO glad that I choose to read this series! As my first post apocalyptic set I am loving it more and more with each book. The author created this world, it’s characters, and all their stories so well. I can picture it all and some of it is quite scary to think about! Who knows what will come of the world! Off to read book 6 and find out!!

Simons – Review by Jaimie Salmon-Colburn
She’s falling in love with the man she swore to protect…
When a botched assassination attempt leaves President Jack Amborn grieving the death of his wife and unborn child, he finds solace in devoting himself to his Presidential duties. Despite the looming threat to his life and the assassin who’s still at large, he’s confident that his expert security detail will keep him from harm.
Secret Service agent Ginger Carver spent her life preparing for this job. Endless hours, meticulous planning, and constant vigilance are second nature to her. There’s only one thing she never could have bargained for – falling in love with the man she’s duty-bound to protect.

Simons – Review by Jaimie Salmon-Colburn
The last few months have turned Amy’s life upside down. She discovered who she really was with a life she never knew existed right under her nose. An entire world opened up to her only to be shattered by events she never wanted to experience. She lost Ryker, her friends betrayed her trust, the most powerful Tainted wanted her soul and she learned that her mother didn’t die when she was two. Did I mention that she also found out who her father was?
Amy was ready to throw it all away when her magic disappeared, but she knew that her life would never be the same even without her power. The paranormal will still be around her, and now, with her mother found, she needs to find a way to reunite her mother’s body with her soul that is trapped in the ethereal.
The only obstacle is that she needs someone of Pure-blood to power-share to bring her mother back and the only person with this ability is the enemy trying to steal her soul. Could she trust him enough to save the last remaining family she has left or would the witches she has surrounded herself with be enough?
For fans of Carolyn MacCullough, Jana Oliver and Rachel Hawkins.
Grab the final instalment of the Descendant series to find out if you can trust the enemy and if blood is thicker than water.

With her parents and brother missing and presumed dead, Grand Duchess Olga Romanova must keep her younger sisters safe. The Bolsheviks are determined to eliminate any remaining holdovers from the tsarist regime, hunting down the last Romanovs and putting them to death. Now living in England, the Romanov sisters remain hidden to protect their identities, even as isolation strains their relationships.
But they can’t distance themselves from the world forever.
Olga learns that a peer of the realm has accused the late Empress Alexandra of betraying Russia and her allies during the Great War. Under the spell of the scheming Grigori Rasputin, Alexandra disclosed military secrets to the enemy. If this rumor becomes a part of the historical record, it will destroy her mother’s reputation and her sisters’ futures.
Disguised as “Olivia,” a wartime nurse turned maid, Olga accepts a position in Lord Hammond’s household. There, she works to discover the truth about her mother. When Olga meets his lordship’s heir—an alluring but enigmatic veteran—her situation grows even more precarious. The more she learns about the tragedies of his past, the more complicated and dangerous their connection, and her own family’s legacy, turns out to be.
As an Emissary of death, darkness follows Kai like a shadow, leaving him touch-starved and lonely. Tormented by the error in judgment that killed his only love, he accepts an assignment to redeem himself: hunting down the demons destroying the mortal realm. But fate takes a turn, and Kai finds himself drawn to one of his targets instead.
Demonic martial arts expert Byron Black has struggled to survive his entire life. He has fought for every breath he’s taken and each bite he’s eaten, yet in the instant when his demise finally seems inevitable, death incarnate steps forward and spares him. Kai is as beautiful as he is terrifying, and although Byron suspects the angel’s interest in him is more than it appears, he can’t stay away.
Together, the pair search for answers regarding who wants Byron dead—and why—but uncovering the truth might destroy them both in the process. Can Kai defeat his inner demons to save the one that has crawled into his bed?
Set in the Star-Crossed Celestials universe, Emissary is a standalone novel featuring an array of creepy crypts and crematoriums, train-top sword fighting, an excessive number of buckles and buttons, and (of course) a Happily Ever After. It can be read as a prequel or companion story to the Star-Crossed Celestials Duet.
