Together We Stand, Vol. 2Together We Stand, Vol. 2 by C.A. King
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This was a unique collaboration by 19 authors, some of which were new to me. The stories were unique and yet complimented each other perfectly. There was something in this anthology for everyone including romance, second chances, danger, thrills, fantasy, mystery, heartache, hope, paranormal, drama and tension. It was a true rollercoaster of emotions from start to finish. My favourites were After the Rein By J.A. Lafrance, Rock Star Lawyer (An Oliver Boys Rockstar Romance) By Rose Bak and Headliner (Sometimes #1) By A.L. Morrow.

This was the first Mark Nolan book I have read and it will not be the last. This was a fast-paced, thriller, with an amazing plot and great character building. I would highly recommend this thriller and cannot wait to make my way through this authors back catalogue.

Ashes (Modern-Day Fairy Tale, #1)Ashes by M.K. Harkins
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The main character, Ashley, gives off strong Veronica Mars vibes (the character, not the show).
I like the way that the narration flips between whomever is the subject of the chapter. It’s always nice to get an inside look into the workings of their minds.
I saw some of the twists coming, but they were still so enjoyable! The ones that I didn’t see coming were much darker and more sad than expected, but helped flesh out the story. Think Ever After’s (the Drew Barrymore movie) envisioning of Cinderella, but made for today’s audience in a darker, 10 Things I Hate About You sort of way. The story flowed nicely. All of the main characters endeared themselves to me. I am invested in all of their storylines and I *need* the next book in the series. Haha!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This young adult read has it all! There’s romance, drama and a few plot twist that I was not expecting at all! I really enjoyed the characters in this book especially Ashley and Laura. I definitely was not expecting to finish this book as fast as I did. I didn’t want to stop reading because I wanted to know what would happen next and if Ashley would win. Her stepmother and step sisters definitely have it out for her and her trust. They will stop at nothing to get what they want. This is a great start to the series and I can’t wait to read more!

Murder and mayhem are old hat to Tam Paradiso. Time travel? That’s a new one.

On May 30, 1593, playwright and monster hunter Christopher Marlowe is destined to meet his demise amid a nest of spies and criminals. No one can change that, not even his love, Tam Paradiso, a homicide detective in present-day Philadelphia.

But something has gone wrong. The final days of Marlowe’s life have deviated from their destined course, corrupting the proper flow of time. Aided by visions from her sister, Isabelle, Tam travels back to 1593 to rescue Marlowe from the infamous Tower of London. She takes banished fae warrior Theo North, her former lover, as supernatural back-up.

To fix the timeline, they must plot Marlowe’s escape from the impenetrable White Tower, unravel the political conspiracy against him, and battle a vicious shifter with a role to play in his death. But even should they succeed, Tam will have no choice but to abandon Marlowe to his predestined tragic end, or risk destroying the future.

Hollywood talent scout Jules ends up in the small, ranch town of San Sity, Florida to scout talent for an upcoming reality dating show to be filmed in the town. While the town’s quirky relatives all think they have what it takes to be a star, there’s one man who stands above all the rest: Mitchel Scott.

Mesmerized by the hunky cowboy at first glance, Jules sets off to convince Mitchel he’s the spark the show needs to become a hit, but the tough-talking, no-nonsense rancher wants nothing to do with Jules or her show and would be happy if he never heard from her again.

Or so he claims.

Jules and Mitchel fight each other at every turn, but neither of them is prepared when their growing animosity turns into love.

Hester, a farmer’s daughter, yearns for more than feeding lambs by the kitchen fire. She envies the freedom of the river nymphs and listens to Sabrina’s whispers: Be wise, be strong.

When Hester meets Aaron, a man powerful in herbal lore, she decides the healing wisdom of fields and forest is what Sabrina seeks of her. But her mother scorns her ambitions as witchery and decrees her daughter must have a husband to settle her. Hester flees to Aaron, only to discover he too, insists she should marry and be ‘ordinary’ folk.

While a desperate Hester battles for her dream, Aaron must reconcile his past to accept the future. Will the river help, or hinder?

I love poetry….and this collection was intriguing, interesting and really spoke to me. The poems come from emotion, feelings, music and current social issues. I loved as I turned each page and not only to read the poetic story that the author was telling me but the use of different colors..some light colors and some black and gray…and sometimes pictures were included as well.

My favorite poems were “Divided in Two” , “Water Replaced Displaced in Space” and “Imagine Dread, in Hell It’s Dead Without a Skull or Brain Instead”.

Very well done!!

This book was wonderful, more current of age fairytale story. Ashley Adams was more of an outcast at school…… being a high school senior and having to help work at her family business at a funeral home. When pop star Harry James has to attend the same high school as Ashley…all the girls are starstruck….except for Ashley at first. Harry must stay out of trouble due to his past and keep a clean nose….while his life is controlled…..Ashley is controlled by her evil stepmother and stepsisters….everyone is trying to keep Ashley and Harry apart ….and evil lurks and will stop at nothing from the couple to be together. Deceit, lies, mean girls, social media, danger around every corner. This story is wonderful….and a twist at the end I didn’t see coming! Looking forward to more to this series!

Hard Lover (Houston After Dark #2)Hard Lover by Deborah Garland
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Hard Lover is a spicy romance I couldn’t put down! A best friend’s little sister romance. A forbidden fruit romance. The author wrote a story about Noah and Callie Rose that has so many roller coasters you don’t want to get off one to get on the next. The dynamic and chemistry between the two characters is off the charts.
So what’s the problem?
What’s keeping them at arm’s length?
Someone’s out for revenge and unfortunately for Noah that person is closer than he realizes. He wants Callie Rose with every fiber of his being, but he’s holding back. And for good reason. He’s willing to take the blow back that would result from his best friend, Callie’s old brother, finding out unfortunately that’s not the real reason he’s holding back. It’s to protect her. If he gives in now he puts her in danger. But have their slips already done that?
Callie Rose has been crushing on Noah for a long time. Showing up at the sex club he works at intentionally. She wanted him to know. She wanted to prove a point. It worked but to what extent. Noah is still holding back and keeping her at a distance and she doesn’t understand why.
Will he tell her?
Does she find out before it’s too late?
Join me in line and we can ride on one of these many roller coasters together. I know I love the thrill, but do you?

Wicked Treasure: An Urban Fantasy Mystery (The Charm Collector #2) by Melissa Erin Jackson

Another fantastic read by the author. Wicked Treasure is the second book in The Charm Collector Series and hot dang. This book is amazing and I couldn’t put it down.

Kayda is Harlow’s best friend and is worried sick about her friend. She isn’t sure what Harlow has gotten herself into, but she’s not a rat. She won’t give her friend up even if it costs her everything. The quote I chose for Kayda is: “You want me to rat out my best friend and anyone she might know to … you?”

Harlow is still with her friend and still has the sword. Things are going to get interesting and she isn’t sure what to make of all of it. She isn’t sure what is going to happen to her and now she isn’t sure if she’ll see her loved ones again. The quote I chose for Harlow is: “Probably. But, honestly, Kay. I know it was shitty of me to ghost you. You’re my favorite person on the planet. I couldn’t let anything happen to you. And then … it sounds like trouble found you anyway. Someone broke into your apartment?”

Highly recommended for Fantasy lovers.

The Girl Who EscapedThe Girl Who Escaped by Mark Nolan
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I think the thing that makes this book so frightening (but very good) is that it is extremely realistic. You can imagine this really happens with tourists in a packed spring break town. The author clearly knows his way around the landscape of the story. Each detail makes it seem like this could be a newspaper expose rather than a novel. The characters are well built and I learned some things too – particularly about the VSRT!

I love a story that has a strong woman lead – this has two. FBI Special Agent Brenda Reynolds is fierce, caring, and loyal to her ethical code. Angie, the sole survivor of an attack, is the other main lead and she has some very strong instincts as well. The even better character than these two is the Golden Retriever, Cody. I love animals and have had some amazingly smart dogs in my life. Seeing them as a focal point in a novel is the perfect security for the thrill ride of the murder mystery. The tension between Brenda and Jake is palpable too and I can’t wait to read more about their budding partnership in future installments!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Logan McKenna is back! She recently moved to Oregon after marrying Ben, her equally intriguing and intelligent husband. She is handling the Fractals remotely and spending time writing and recording new music. There’s new friends and acquaintances, a new volunteer job at the Raptor Center, and a new dead body.

Evka, the raptor vet at the center, is found by Logan when she brings in a friend for a tour – along with the red tailed hawk they’d been treating. Something is off, Logan can feel it. Luckily, her friends are equally as invested in solving the mystery.

Will they discover the killer before they are in danger, themselves? As usual, a very smart, witty, engaging story with wonderful female leads and a mystery til the end. Beautiful world building. Another win.

This is the first book I’ve read by the author. Diabolical Sword is a great introduction to The Charm Collector Series. I will be looking forward to the next book in the series.

Harlow is a Charm Collector and she makes a killing off a dragon sword. When she finds that she can control the sword she finds that life is becoming difficult. The quote I chose for Harlow is: “Uh …sword? Mr. Sword. Are you going to kill me? My nerves are shot and if there’s no chance of escape, I’d like to know. I could polish off the last of the vodka in my freezer so I won’t feel it when you slaughter me.”

This is book 8 in the series but reads as a stand alone novel. Love how this is set on the Oregon coast, places I’m familiar with and miss. I liked reading the point of view of the antagonist in parts, it gives increased tension to the story, and an insight on how he feels entitled to Evka. The plot keeps you turning the page guessing at who the killer is and what will happen next! I enjoyed this novel and will likely read more of this mystery series!

A adorably cute second chance at love story. Something unexpected and traumatizing happens that breaks up our favorite couple. By fate or destiny years later they cross each other’s paths. However everything isn’t what it seems, even if chemistry is off the charts. Our couple has to figure out the many many puzzle pieces of the jumbled mess of the past, if they want to move forward!

This is the first book I’ve read by the author. Ashes is a great story and left me wanting more. Ashes is a modern day Cinderella story and I loved every minute of it. This is the first book in the Modern-Day Fairy Tale Series.

Ashley is the modern day Cinderella and lives with her step-mother and step-sisters. She is told to stay away from the new boy at school as he’s meant for her step-sisters. Then she meets him and finds that they have more in common than she thought. The quote I chose for Ashley is: “No need to be sorry. I don’t know why that popped out. I must trust you or something.”

Harry is the popular boy and the new person at school. He finds that the new school only comes with complications. One of them being Ashley’s step-sisters. Can he and Ashley make it? The quote I chose for Harry is: “No one’s asked me that question before. I’d like to believe once I redeem myself by going back and finishing high school in a more normal way, they’ll let me start living my life the way I want to.”

Highly recommended for YA Romance lovers.

This story certainly had me going with all of it’s steamy scenes and storyline. I am very particular with my smut, but this was absolutely a fantastic read to get my hands on! It certainly was a rollercoaster ride for between all of the things that were going on. The only thing that made me sad, was Noah thinking he was “wrong” for involving himself in the kink community. This had so much potential to do good, but it fell a little flat, but other than that the writing, storyline, curveballs, the set up were all done beautifully! I loved reading this book and I’m certainly going to go back and read book one!

Hard Lover: A New Adult Romantic Suspense (Houston After Dark Book 2)

I have had the pleasure of reading this author before and I’m unsure how I missed the first book in the series but so glad I was able get the chance to read this one.

Callie had a tough childhood, thankful she was too young to remember most of it.  She has a pretty good life thanks to her brother Grant.

Noah is Grant’s best friend and co-worker. Had a pretty good life except for one incident in college which changed his life.

Noah and Callie are so hot together. The sparks between them from when they see each other a club up until the end don’t let up though the do evolve during that time.  I thought the time away from everyone was the best of those moments.

This book was not ideal for my sleepless nights. I read the first third of the book in one evening because I was unable to put it down.  Now that this series is on my radar I will be keeping my eye out for the next book.

I gave this 3 stars because this reminded me of Cinderalla getting picked at by her evil stepmom and her step sisters. The only difference here is a girl named Ashley trying to live a normal at High School without drawing too much attention to herself who later ends up helping prince charming Harry, who has to go to this school to get his life straight but ends up needing help to hide who he is and from people telling what to do. Both Ashely and Harry change their whole life around, is love worth it for them, or do they have to be told what to do?
Other than that it has some twisted parts and an interesting point of view of how Ashley shows her strong side in life.

This book seemed a little immature if you will, for a lack of a better word. It could just be her writing style, that’s why I will give her another chance. I’m on the fence on this book, but there is potential.

This is the first short story I have read from this author. I was hooked by the very first page. The woman in the beginning is describing a dead man across from her at a dinner table. Why? How? When? Did she do it? As you continue to read you find out all these answers. The story is based on humans and hungries and what has made this phenomenon happen. The woman is lonely and trying to come to terms with the eventuality of her life. I love that she has an odd relationship with a cat across the way. Never give up hope.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I have not had the privilege of reading any books by Mark Nolan before this one. I say that because I could not put this book down. The characters are amazing, the chemistry is off the charts, the plot is mesmerizing and all of that just makes for the best kind of book to lose yourself in.

Angie and her three friends plan a vacation trip for spring break but that all turns deadly when they are kidnapped and her three friends wind up dead. Angie barely escapes alive but is so traumatized that she is mute. In comes Brenda, an FBI agent who is part of an elite unit. It is her job to solve this heinous crime with some help from Jake and his dog Cody, unfortunately Brenda and Jake do not have the best relationship. Can they put their past run ins behind them to get to the bottom of this gruesome murder? Is Angie a victim or something more sinister like perpatrator of the murders?

There are more twists and turns to this book than a roller coaster. The characters are brilliantly thought out and leave you wanting to read the whole book in one sitting. If you like murder, mystery, thriller books then this is the book for you but definitely watch out not to read to late or you may find yourself losing out on sleep just to finish.
