So many things going on in the lives of Donovan Trait and his family! A war with the Vampire Coalition, trying to keep their family alive, and at the same time keeping the humans from finding out. What a great book! The story grips you even if you haven’t read the other books in the series, which I plan to read in the very near future. I really felt that I connected with and understood what they were going through. I have read other books by this author and enjoyed them a lot. Love how she adds some humor to the stories. Can’t wait to read more of her books!

This was such an amazing book. It is educational for kids, learning about adoption but also learning about how to work through their overwhelming emotions. It is also a heartwarming story. It shows how they are not alone in their feelings and situations. I love reading children’s stories so I can recommend them to my family and friends who have kids, this will definitely be one of them.

I enjoyed the first two books of this series immensely. This one is written so differently than the previous two but once again is a masterpiece.
Julia and her relationship with the Ka-tet is shattered after she betrayed them in the previous book. Especially her relationship with Matthew. She is basically disowned by him. Matthew has moved away from the others and started a new life on his own. When Julia’s leader disappears suddenly, she seeks out Matthew to help.
The author once again built an amazing world and the people within. Even though this book was significantly different, it still had me in a vice and I had to finish it! I enjoyed ‘watching’ Julia deal with the consequences and her feelings towards everything that has happened.

Ciarán Donnelly is back and he is settling into his new life with his wife and unborn twins a bit more each day and is feeling like the hold his past had on him is not as strong as it was, but now his life is in upheaval yet again when he starts having vivid dreams again. This time though, they are visions of his children being kidnapped by the long dead priest who entombed him for his past misdeeds, Ruadhán, but Ciarán knows that this can’t be true, but he is still very unnerved by them. However, the anxiety which these dreams cause Ciarán are affecting his relationship with Caitlin and she is feeling the stress as well, which is no good for her while pregnant with the twins, but Ciarán as usual bottles everything up inside until it becomes too much and he explodes with the pent up emotion and this helps their situation even less.
As Ciarán is learning to deal with his anxieties, the dreams are repeating and are now affecting his ability to both sleep and keep his emotions in check, but when he does finally speak to those around him, they put forward the valid points that it may just be he fears around being a parent coming to he fore and that because Ruadhán was devoted to his goddess, there is little chance that he could have had the same punishment as Ciarán and Aodhán, his brother and Aodhán is keen to support this theory as well. Meanwhile, tensions still rise as the twins near their due date and with everything else going on, Ciarán knows he needs to be there for Caitlin more than ever.
Meanwhile Aodhán is working with the archaeology team again and decides to go and see the tombs in the Hills of ár Sinsear for himself so that he can put Ciarán’s mind at rest about Ruadhán, however, what he finds there just makes their anxieties worse, an unoccupied tomb which has all the calling cards of use, despite being empty. While Aodhán spends more time with his almost adopted family, a surprising piece of history is unearthed and leads to another interpretation of what Ciarán’s dreams could mean and opens a whole host of new complications to an already stressful scenario. Could Ruadhán have survived the fifteen hundred years and come back to haunt the two brothers, if so, what is his plan and can Ciarán and Aodhán stop it before their loved ones are hurt? This is another whirlwind ride in this historical fiction meets modern day romance, in this time travel fantasy which keeps you enthralled as the other books while spinning a yarn you will want to speed through, yet savour at the same time.

A multiple-POV masterpiece that encases everything that a fantasy reader hopes to encounter: raging battles, the fight for a crown, and a love that defies all odds. The Draco Sang series has been one of beauty, strength, tears, and perseverance. Suza and Ferth, Jade and Tobin, and all of the characters that warmed this book with their witty banter and sharp skills. They have earned a place as much loved characters, and it is a shame that this appears to be the last of the installment as I would have loved to see their development further.
This story pick up in the heat of battle and follows each of these characters as they face hardships that most do not even imagine. Their decisions and quick wit leads them on periodically intertwining paths that encourages the story along in a fast-paced read without feeling rushed. It leads the reader through the multiple lives and personalities to match as the story continues. This book was a lovely refresher because most fantasy tends to hint at similar themes and occurrences. But this? A work of art that is both a palate cleanse and a lovely book to get a reader out of a slump. The characters were easily loved and my emotions always seemed to match alongside their ever changing ones.

Bound by grace is the prequel to Caging Grace by Carsen Lane. This is a small novella that can be read in a quick sitting. It sets up the beginning of Graces’ story by showing the love that Liam and Aggie had. You are given a lot of backstory for each main character and it gives a little more insight to what you will read in Caging Grace. I love the introduction to Liam, Aggie, Carl, and Mason. The only downside is I wish it was a full novel so we really got even more of Liam and Aggie but that’s just my selfishness lol. You can easily read Caging Grace without reading this one but why would you:)

Mimi Mioyo is the star of this dark fantasy story set in the late Victorian age. As an abused woman, she had sought safety with Seree, the woman who provided shelter for women under the guise of a gentleman’s club. They had dubbed Mimi the Queen of Hearts. She would play a card game, with a night in her bedroom as the prize. She would purposely lose, and when the man arrived in her bedroom, she would offer him some wine laced with poison. Only, she didn’t kill the men. She hit them below the belt, literally, as the poison would render them unable to achieve an erection permanently.
Mimi needed more herbs to make her poison, but becomes alarmed when her normal supplier doesn’t arrive. Jacques “Jac” Tourville tells her he had bad luck and that Jac would be her supplier. Much to her dismay, Jac shows up at the gentleman’s club and plays the card game. He wins and follows her to her room. However, Jac has no intention of drinking anything, nor is he wanting to have sex with her. Instead, he offers her something much more sinister.
This is a short story of revenge on vile men who cheat and abuse women. Mimi was a type of vigilante, but there are always holes in every plan. Jac turns out to be the hole in her plan. I recommend readers who like strong female characters who also are not innocent to read this book.
It was so easy to fall in love with the characters in this book. Ellawyn had gone through so much, and she really had to stop and figure out how to take care of herself, at the same time she was learning how to let people back in. Beckett was such a gentlemen throughout the whole story, he never once pushed Ellie, but always made sure he was there for her. And of course we cant forget about Benji. He might have been my favorite. He took Ellie in when she first arrived to town, and of course introduced his grandson Beckett to her.
TW: domestic abuse, stalking
I think the recovery one has to go through when they are a victim of abuse is very difficult to understand let alone write about and i think that Shannon did a great job. She was able to showcase Ellie’s fear in a way that was understandable to someone who has never experienced abuse in their life. How to can be hard to move forward, but even when you do you might still have a set back from time to time. Its just one more thing to work through.
Will definitely be reading more from the author and I cant wait for Quimby Grove #2.

Body Checked by CJ Cartwright is book two in the Astoria Bay Thunder hockey series. Though part of a series, it can be read as a stand alone but I PROMISE you that you’ll want to read the first!! This story follows Tia and Bridger. Let me tell you, this book was hot and delicious. Tia had some rough teen years that are coming around to bite her at every good thing that happens. Bridger is a playboy famous hockey star who needs to clean up his act. After what should have been just one spicy weekend together, the pair cannot deny their attraction and it turns into a give and take game of should we, shouldn’t we. Let me help, THEY SHOULD. Hands down an awesome pair to read about, so fun and flirty with relatable attitude. I’m itching for a book 3 to find out who will be next. Send some thunder my way!

All Krystina wants to do is travel the world and be a famous blogger but when her Loukas her childhood nemesis decides to go along with her, as she goes through, she has no breathing room as he is constantly with her all the time. When they discover challenges long the way the most unlikely person helps her through Loukas.
So, when Krystina takes on the challenge to find her grandfather will they uncover the secrets of the past and locate the lost family member or will they be dragged into problems they never envisioned.
This is the third book in the series and follows the third sister Krystina, although this can be read as a standalone story it would be good to have some of the crossover from the first two books as back story but is not necessary. As always, the story is well written and with the twists and turns in the story will keep you turning the pages to the end.
I loved the character of Krystina in the other stories, and I think Loukas is the right character to compliment Krystina although at first, she does not think so. The emotion and the turmoil in the story follow brilliantly and you feel the journey as if you are there with the character along the way. It is lovely how the relationship is a slow burn and that the reaction of finally realising that they are destined for each other is lovely to read.
I can’t wait to read the next book.

I loved the first two books in the series, and this one was certainly no different. I loved the story development as well as the character development between the first two books and this one! As always the author crafted together a wonderful engaging story, with everything I love about their writing!
Donovan and Shirley are facing the dilemma at hand, and at the same time raising their kids and giving them the best life possible. What would that consist of in a perfect world? Perhaps living free, and not fearing of a law broken for well, living your life! A decision for war was made, and Donovan and his wife knew what was on the line, meaning they may not make it. I found this character development very commendable. Despite what they could lose, they cared more on what they could gain! This book brought on a lot of feelings, a lot of action, hardship, and of course suspense. I was not sure what would turn out as I turned the pages. The author is very gifted at all that they do! I was engaged and wanting to know more, the author doesn’t give away what could happen, they keep you in suspense and to keep reading. I seriously love this series and the writing of this very amazing and gifted author!
I loved the first two books and I highly recommend reading those two then reading this one for a good story development . I loved this one truly as I do this author. I highly recommend this series, this book, and this author! All are must reads. For sure, not ones to be passed up! Truly a remarkable read!

Love this author and all the writings and books that they create! I loved the first book in the series and now this is the second one. I could not help but fall head over in love. I swear this book truly scored a touch down with my heart! There was so much to this book, it was absolutely amazing from start to finish!
I loved watching things progress and what they were between Tia and Bridger. I loved how it was not smooth sailing at first glance There were things between them, that went well, quite deep actually. I really felt for them at different times. I felt emotions, happiness, anger, all at the same time on various occasions. I loved the sports aspect to this book as well. I love when romance mixes with sports, it brings to realism out and helps the story play out! I loved the writing, and the descriptive use on the words the author had used! This book was impossible not to love. I am so glad I got to enjoy it! Loved it!
Amazing book that everyone should experience in my humble opinion! I could not get enough of this book. I seriously am squealing with delight as I type this! A must read book! Highly recommend!

This is the 3rd book in the War Of Destiny Series and I loved it. The author does such a good job with the story and the characters. The story had me totally gripped and spellbound through it all. This book deal with some dark emotions such as guilt, regret, despair and at times complete helplessness.
Julie is back. After her actions from the last book we find her being shunned by her vampire family. If that wasn’t bad enough she also has to deal with the guilt for the loss of some of their people due to her actions. She sees no way through this and when she starts to see and hear people who aren’t there things get progressively worse. While she is dealing with theses feelings and the fear she is going mad, Samuel goes missing.
He is devasted by what has happened and when he disappears Julia knows she needs to find him and fast. Will he accept her presence? Will she get to him before its too late?
Add to this the dangers of the Hunters that have arrived and when one of the Hunters looks familiar to Julie this raises more questions. Once you start this series you won’t be able to put it down and this one just adds to the already amazing series

I was so excited when I saw that this book was coming out so soon and I am not afraid to admit that I read this book in one day! I loved the first book in the series, and I loved this book just as much! This book revolved around Bridger who is the known as a bachelor and Tia, who can hold her own with anyone and is a spit fire. The sparks fly for both of them when they meet the weekend doing the calendar photoshoot for the players and it just snowballs from there. The way the author writes makes me feel as though I am right there in the action and not just reading the book! I cannot wait to read more GREAT books by this author!

This book is heavy, and may have intense trigger warnings for those that suffer from PTSD. That being said, this was a book that I could not put down. No Pistol Tastes the Same is about PTSD, a very real and very intense illness that many of our war vets come home with. The synopsis of the book reads “Sergeant JP Grimm didn’t pull the trigger. Now his Marine brothers are dead…” The intended target of that bullet? A child. A child in a suicide vest that eerily reminds him of his very own son. A moment of hesitation, and the bomb goes off, leaving his entire team deceased around him. After the split second that cost him everything, JP must go home, and pretend war never happened. He tries to bond with his son, who he keeps seeing in that young boy so very far away. JP struggles with his own thoughts, denial, and grief, and you (the reader) will be taken on an emotional rollercoaster.

This is book three of the series. What a fantastical ride it is. Julia must work with her ka-tet to help her, even with them lacking faith due to her working with Valentino in the last book. Julie and Matthew must save Simon, battle apparitions, and help a rogue vampire. There is a lot going on in the story. This is why it is so good. I was pulled in from the beginning and just couldn’t put it down. I had to continue to know how things were going for Julia. Her loyalies are being tested every time she turns around. She’s seeing things. The plot has a couple of choppy spots but you can get through ok because it still goes together fairly smooth. I loved how the author tied the characters together but life wasn’t perfect; there were still problems. Fun book that I recommend.

What a great addition to the series! Plenty of suspense, mystery, hidden identities, and a bit of sensualness thrown in! With the focus on family, old and new, the stakes are higher now that Ciarán and Caitlin have children, reopening old wounds from Ciarán’s past. The power of the goddess is shown to those who know what is going on, but the group of people who know about Ciarán and Aodhán is growing and that can be dangerous. I enjoy reading about the strong bond between Ciarán and Aodhán and, just when I thought we were done with them, there will be more! I really enjoyed this book and can’t wait for the next one!

Romance with a thrilling twist This was brilliantly written. Remi and Audri are amazingly characters – well developed and with underlying flaws that made them so real and relatable. The story is multilayered with suspense and drama that kept me vested right until the end. Starts as a best friend’s sister romance but moves in to so much more. A strong first book in the series (can be read as a stand-alone) and I can’t wait to read more about the Waterfyre Men.

This is the third book of the Donovan Trait series and it is just as good as the first two. Still in hiding Donovan and Shirley are raising their twins while trying to protect them and themselves for the coalition that wants to take away their children. Born behind the coalition’s back, the council did not take too lightly to it. The birth of the twins showed the other vampires that someone has been lying for years now they are covering their tracks.
Donovan and his family have declared war on the coalition. If they are going down, everyone is going down with them. The coalition retorted with genocide of any vampire who is not of pure blood. Everything seems to be working against the Trait family.
This book was by far the most action filled of the three. I was rooting for the Trait family from the very beginning. I love Donovan and Shirleys relationship. They are a power couple so in love. The twins are loved by all and have complete opposite personalities. They are an adorable family.

I loved Bridger and Tia’s story! I had a feeling that I would when they were introduced in the first book. The fire between them was palpable, and they couldn’t stay away from each other. She was damaged, and he was trying to change his image. They were so good together no matter what they had to go through to get to each other. It was supposed to be just one weekend of fun, but will their no strings weekend be enough for this steamy duo?

Their parents have arranged the marriage. But, when Isabel discovers who her intended is, it becomes apparent that he’s on the wrong side of the Wars of the Roses.
As a knight with honour, surely her father would not sacrifice their family to the House of Lancaster. Yet, to her horror, he insists upon the union with Sir William.
15th century England is perilous – betrayal and ruin are only ever a heartbeat away. And death hides behind every door. Can Isabel survive and be a good wife, even when she’s married to the enemy?
Adventure through Medieval England in this intriguing story of love battling against all odds.
This is a stand-alone historical romance which contains an abundance of marital bedchamber antics.
The fictitious tale of a knight’s daughter, living life as it very well may have been.

Out of options, the pair must form an alliance if they hope to survive. Amid the battle for their lives, they find the bond of fated mates growing between them. In the face of growing odds, can their love survive? Or will the bond between them be the weakness that gets them killed?

The Mastermind : A Brother’s Best Friend Romance (WaterFyre Rising Book 1)
I am once again amazed by a first time author and their debut. I was hooked from the very beginning and had a hard time putting it down. I dropped my kindle on my face a few times because I had to keep going.
This book had a little bit of everything and several twists that I didn’t come close to expecting which may have made me enjoy it that much more since so often books can be predictable.
Remington and Audri are more than perfect together. They had a lot to deal with, more than the normal couple to get to their moment.
The sparks were flying from my kindle as I read the beginning of Grayson’s house warming party, the description of the car was perfectly detailed and just wow.
There is so much more I could say but won’t since most of it pertains to certain pivotal moments. What I will say is be ready to be surprised, there is nothing typical about this book.
This is an author I will be looking forward to reading again in the future.

WOW! I think I think I have found the next author I need to follow. This was my first book by Nadia Han and I am hooked for sure! Nadia has brought the characters in life and the book isn’t what is seems by the title! She has found a new way to bring us the brother’s best friend romance type book! The characters come to life off the pages and are so well paired that the reader can’t help but wanting to continue to turn the page and read more! I will be looking out for the next books in the series!

This book primarily focuses on issues faced when a child is adopted. The child always tends to think that if he/she were with their real parents things “could” have been better. Oliver lives with his adoptive parents, and one day, after getting scolded by his dad on a silly mistake, he goes into his room and sulks if things would have been better if he was with his real parents. Would they have scolded him? Or would they have loved him better. But then he comes downstairs with his parents baking cookies and being very loving to him. They are very understanding and tell him that the emotions he is going through are normal and they have to work out a solution with love. This is a book which will sensitize children on the topic of adoption. It is tackled in a subtle and gentle way. I quite liked the book.

This was my first book by this author and I wasn’t disappointed. It was a romance staring Bridger and Tia. I liked them both and you could see the sparks flying from miles away. They were completely different but sometimes those are the best couples together even if they fight it. And the banter between them was great! I am definitely going to go back and read the first book in this series. I didn’t feel like I was missing anything because this book can be read as a standalone but i liked this book enough that I want to check out this authors other books! I would recommend this to anyone looking for a romance read! Happy reading!

A powerful and heartfelt narrative about the life, love, and death of Kingsley. For the author to share a portion of her life for those who may also be grieving the loss of a pet, I am truly thankful. The story shows the nuances of illness when it happens to our animals. It was a beautiful detailing of his life and is so special for those who need the validation of the experience. A useful story for those in similar situations

I absolutely love this author and her ability to make one want to feel the love that vibrates off these pages. I have enjoyed getting to know the Titans of Manhattan thus far, and I have to say, the fact that Mason has made it his life’s goal to provide the women that work for him safe and protected in their lifestyle is incredibly inspiring and though it’s a work of fiction, the way that he does so makes me so happy. I know that in real life it’s still quite difficult to find a spot where you are well taken care of in that line of work and not have to worry about one’s personal safety.
I also love that Rhyann proves that just because women elect to work in that line of work doesn’t mean that they don’t have a side story and that being a dancer is hard, in all aspects of the job/lifestyle/career. What really made me smile was the way in which Rhyann and Mason come together and show their vulnerable side, at first with difficulty, and then the way it just comes naturally. Read to find out how naturally it comes! I very much look forward to the rest of this series, as these stories just seem to get better and better. Well done!
