My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Divine Vintage is absolutely amazing. Much like Trey, I was a skeptic due to this being my first book that deals with spirits. After only a few paragraphs, I was a believer like Tess. I definitely put this one down as one of my favorite books of the year. The story of Trey is sweet and romantic. The story of Phoebe and Edward is tragic and romantic. Put these two together and it is simply mesmerizing. Well written, multi-layered characters and a well-formed plot make this book insanely difficult to put down. This story invokes so many emotions. I adored Tess and rooted for happiness and well-being all the way through. I kinda hated Brett and had a very visceral reaction to him. Nevertheless, there was no black and white here and it was easy to see the motivations of the characters and empathize with them, even if I didn’t agree. I can’t wait to recommend this book to everyone I know.

So Right (Love Grows, Book 5)So Right by Renee Regent
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

So Right is a sweet reverse age gap romance story. I thoroughly enjoyed reading about Amara and Petro. These two are so oblivious at first but it is wonderful reading about them coming together and seeing they are what the other needs. I laughed at how on the money their thoughts of each other were. It was wonderful reading about a protagonist in my age range that I could easily relate to. I am so happy that these two found each other. This was a nice, easy romantic read.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

As far as I am aware this was my first book by Mrs. Luana. This book is a standalone novel and was rather interesting. It combined the flare of fantasy that has become popular with just the right amount of mystery that keeps the reader interested. The characters are easy to love and you find yourself rooting for Andrijana. You can’t help yourself from wanting to see her win.

Tomb for an Eagle (Orkneyinga Murders #1)Tomb for an Eagle by Lexie Conyngham
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Tomb for an Eagle is a wonderful and interesting historical mystery. I have read quite a few historical fiction but no historical mysteries. This book did not disappoint. This is a well-written, well-developed book with interesting characters. I enjoyed going along for the ride with Ketil and Sigrid. I got hooked on these characters from the start and could not put the book down. It is absolutely a page-turner. This was a different kind of mystery experience that I definitely enjoyed. I recommend this for anyone looking for unconventional historical fiction.

The Bear at Midnight (Orkneyinga Murders #4)The Bear at Midnight by Lexie Conyngham
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The Bear at Midnight is the fourth book in the Orkneinga Murder Books. I was so excited to read this book after reading book 1, Tomb of an Eagle. I was so excited to see Thorafinn, who I read about in book 1. Also like book 1, it is set in Scotland in the Viking era. This is not a time period that I would have thought I enjoyed reading about but just like book 1 the magnificent storytelling and details draw you in. Once again Lexie Conyngham keeps you guessing while enjoying this tale. I highly recommend this book and this series for an intriguing story that keeps you on your toes.

The Mesmerist: A Young Adult Fantasy Mystery by Claire Luana

This is not the first book I’ve read by the author. The author keeps me coming back and so far each book I’ve read is amazing. The Mesmerist is a great book.

Adrijana can see people’s feelings and she isn’t sure why. When her childhood friend invites her to the Palace she must go. Her father doesn’t want her there, but he can’t stop her. The quote I chose for Adrijana is: “It doesn’t sit well that you questioned Spirodon without me. I wanted to be there. I needed to be there. To put my own questions to rest.”

Dragan is the Para-Mesmerist and he can sense Jana the second she steps into the ballroom. He gets close to her and finds himself falling for her. The quote I chose for Dragan is: “I don’t see how it’s possible. But if it makes you feel better, when I get a chance, I’ll consult the Mesmer library and see what I can find.”

Highly recommended for Fantasy Crime lovers.

Doctor D’s Orderly Affair (Doctors of Eastport General #1) by C.A. King

This isn’t the first book I’ve read by the author. The author knows how to keep readers entertained. Doctor D’s Orderly Affair is the first book in a brand new series. Doctors of Eastport General is amazing so far.

Desmond is a pediatrician and his nephew’s life is on the line. The other doctors invite him out for a night out and he takes them up on their offer. He meets a woman who he doesn’t expect to fall in love with. The quote I chose for Desmond is: “After the funeral, I was lost. I took a leave of absence, spent some time wallowing, and fell into a deep depression. When I started piecing my life together again, you were already gone and I didn’t know where to. I had no idea we’d meet up like this, but I’m glad we did. It gives me a second chance to make things right. Can we start over again?”

Emily is a nurse who is finishing up school. She doesn’t have time for dating or a life outside of work and school. The nurses finally talk her into joining them and one thing leads to another. Can she forget about Doctor D? The quote I chose for Emily is: “Oops! I dropped them. I don’t usually have a problem opening the door. This is so-o-o weird.”

Highly recommended for Contemporary Romance lovers.

The Billionaire’s Slave by Stacy-Deanne – Review by Kerry Carr

The Billionaire's Slave by Stacy-DeanneThe Billionaire’s Slave by Stacy-Deanne by Stacy-Deanne
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The was a really lovely romance about two people who shouldnt be together by law but who defy all laws and opinions to be happy. Its set in a era when slave Labour was allowed. When white men owned black slaves. White men could sleep with their slaves but fall in love with them was a huge no.
That was until Penny and Leon met. Penny was a black slave for the Conrad family and when Mr Conrad had a debt to pay back to Leon , Leon chose to take payment in the form of Penny.

In his mind Penny would be easy to train to become his next bed partner but what he doesn’t expect is that she will make the rules and eventually steal his heart.

There are several twists and turns in this story which keeps the reader guessing if they will ever get their happy ever after. It also shines a light on life at that time and how hard it was for black people to have a free life. When you can’t love the person you want to because of legal and dire consequences it makes for a challenging and sometimes heartbreaking story.

A Bride for Noah (Brides of Broken Arrow #1)A Bride for Noah by Cheryl Wright
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

How sweet is this book?! A Bride For Noah is a wonderful, quick read. You can’t help but smile while reading this heart-warming tale of two people that enter into a marriage of convenience and end up finding much more. I absolutely adore romance books set in this time period. I love the simpler times although they definitely worked harder then. If you love pure, wholesome romance then this is your book. Cheryl Wright proves that you can write an engaging romance without the sexual innuendo. I loved the interaction between Noah and Mary and found myself drawn in and experiencing their frustration at their miscommunications. It was wonderful watching these two find all that they deserved with each other. The clean, happy ending left me happy and satisfied.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I love paranormal stories to begin with and this one did not disappoint. I love when authors come up with different ways of how they interrupt the paranormal, its so refreshing and really makes me think about it. Aranha is an amazing character and the love she has for helping and making everything good. I always enjoy back stories to a character and this one didn’t disappoint, it really makes you understand the character more, and what they have been thou. I loved how creative the characters are in this book. This book was very well written and captivating, it kept me entertained the whole time.
