The True Garza (Red Cage Book 3) by S. Ann Cole – Review by Shea Gilkerson

The True Garza (Red Cage, #3)The True Garza by S. Ann Cole
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

My first time to read by this author but will be back for more! This book offers romance and longing, mystery, hot scenes, dangerous action, great relationship building and offers us flawed, real humans as characters to get in to.

London is one tough woman who can hold her own, but after a series of tragedies in Denver, hiding out in a cabin to give herself a chance to heal, a very hot week with a stranger who gave a fake name and an intervention of sorts from her family – she’s back in LA. As a highly trained and extremely competitive woman in a “man’s world”, London has learned she has to work harder, smarter, and take more risks to prove she is ahead of the game. As she comes back to join her Uncle Walter and brother in the special FBI unit, she finds she is assisting another, even more exclusive, agency in the business of protection. Red Cage is full of giant, imposing, very well trained men and now London is embedded in their business. As she learns about the job she is supposed to be doing, she finds HIM – the man who saved her from herself an entire year ago, while she was in isolation, and whom she hasn’t stopped dreaming about since.

True is “the nice brother” in Red Cage and works with several of his brothers to run the agency. He loves action in the field and women, but he also never forgot the hot stranger he spent a week with 1 year ago. We find that True has ADHD and it both makes him great at what he does, and struggle with relationships. He has spent so long being chased and pursued by any number of women that he doesn’t know how to have a relationship, or how to care about someone beyond his family – but he can’t get London out of his mind.

London and True get under each others skin, so obsessed with one another that they can’t stop what’s happening between them – no matter how hard they both try. I especially love that this book has flawed humans who then find healthy ways to heal and be strong together. While this is book 3 in the series, it was a nice standalone and I didn’t feel lost. Running off for book 1 in this series now!

The Vardoger Boy (The Forerunner Saga Book 2) by Jay Veloso Batista – Review by Shelly Kittell

The Vardoger Boy (Forerunner Series)The Vardoger Boy by Jay Veloso Batista
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Book 2 in the trilogy. Finn and his family are on adventures again. Agne and Cub are at the battle of Wessex. This is a large and hard fight. Many are lost, including family, and many are taken for ransom. Finn and Raga are out with Uncle Karl and the crew to help them. On the way, a troll on the boat traps Finn in between realms to perform a task for him. What an adventure this is. Most of the time the crew do not know what is going on. Kara and the rest of Finn’s family have been left at home and are dealing with blood feuds, being driven from their home and other misadventures. This is another excellent book in the journey of Thorafinn. The plot is adventurous. The excitement is on every page. There are three plotlines going and the author does a great job of intertwining them together so that they do connect. I enjoyed the storyline of the womenfolk That was my favorite because they overcame big odds. The characters are really written well. Martine is a sneaky character that I would love to see more of so I hope she is written in more in Book 3. That cliffhanger grabbed me. I can’t wait to read the next book. I recommend this trilogy to fantasy lovers.

This book is absolutely brilliant. It has such a strong storyline to it and it had me hooked right from the word go. I was pulled into this world and could not stop reading.
A large part of that was because of the characters. For me they made this book. Their connection was so intense and captivating. I couldn’t seem to take my eyes off them. This is an incredible story and I would urge every one to read it immediately.

The True Garza (Red Cage, #3)The True Garza by S. Ann Cole
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

THIS story is ALWAYS on my Mind!! I can’t stop thinking about it when on those rare occasions I am not reading it. It is a simply captivating storyline to me. My favorite thing is the banter and strength of the characters. I can not get enough of True and Lonny in or out of the bedroom. They are electric! I also want to smack them both upside the head more than once for their actions or reactions but they did keep me on my toes!

The characters are spicy and ON FIRE to near combustible when together! I love Lonny (her name included)! She has the best attitude and she is smart, strong, salty and sassy enough to compete with the alpha males! Her once weakness is True. True lives a lifestyle that I am not sure I understand. There might be more info in previous stories but he seems very different. The more I learn the more I love him.

Secondary characters make me more than curious about the other couple books I have missed. They all seem to have interesting lives and situations and how they mix together. I look forward to reading their stories. Tripp and Tillie I really didn’t identify with too much but we will see. Guy..now there is a man of mystery. Then there is the Castillo twins..wow! I was very interested in Lorenzo and Brook and will look for their story.

Overall this is a smart, snappy and simply fascinating story! The growth and work these characters put in makes it a joy to read. The last few chapters plus the epilogue with True are very eye opening. I do not understand how this author is not once I have read before! The way the story is written is exceptionally well. It starts off on fire and really it only gets hotter as the story rolls along.

I would love this on audio!

As the story develops Kindle is introduced and our party boy starts to find his way and live his life differently. Kindle and Levi together are quite the pair and the connection and dynamic between them both will make it difficult for you to put this book down.

I am new to the Mermaid Science Series by Lois Wickstrom. I read this book with my little girl, who is obsessed with all things mermaid! The storyline is sweet and endearing and I love how the author mixes fiction and science so perfectly. Maia and Fig are sweet little friends who inspired us to plan our own picnic. If only we could meet a mermaid on our adventures!!!

My daughter and I really enjoyed this book. I was a great bed time read and we plan to read the other books in the series soon.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

First thing first, I did not read the previous books in this series. That being said, this book can be read as a stand alone. You do not need to read the previous books in order to understand what is going on in this book. However, after reading this book you will want to go back and read the other two in the series. That is what I am currently doing. Now, let’s get into the meat and potatoes of this book. It is a really fast read!!! You will fall in love with the characters because of how the author us able to put feelings and actions to words written. I am a strong believer that, “If a book can make you feel what the characters are, it was written amazingly.” This book did not disappoint on that level. This book not only has all the steam you could ever possibly want but it also has mystery. You not only get to experience the quick whit of the female lead but you also get to see the strength of the male lead. Together they are an unstoppable team. You will keep turning the pages to see what is going to happen next or to even just feel the chemistry the two main characters have. It is definitely a book that will make you not quit reading until it is done. So, if you have a day where you can sit on the beach or next to the pool or even just on the couch and read, I highly recommend this book.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the second book I’ve read from this author, but she has blown my mind yet again. This is the fifth book in the Moto X series. This can be read as a standalone but there are previous characters in this story as well. I recommend reading the first four books before reading this one so you can get a better understanding with everything. I was so excited when I got this book, I stopped everything, and I started to read this book immediately. I was hooked on these characters right from the beginning. It only took me a day to read this awesome book. I highly recommend this book for any and everyone who is interested in reading. You will not be disappointed.
Levi Crowe us known as the party boy. He has everything that he could ever need at his disposal and a body and skill that all women drool over. He has the time of his life every weekend and legendary black outs that are a good source of laughter for everyone but him. But the truth is, he is worn out. Nothing changes until he’s rejected several times by the same woman that he can’t get out of his head. A series of events leads him to getting his life on a better track and here enters Kindle James, his rejector. Now, he must prove himself to more than just her because both of their careers are at stake.
Kindle may just prove how much of a squid he truly is at being a functioning adult.
Will everything work out?

Saving Marvel (Satan’s Devils MC Second Generation #4) by Manda Mellett – Review by Ashleyann Sanabria

Saving Marvel (Satan's Devils MC Second Generation Book 4)Saving Marvel by Manda Mellett
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Another great Satan’s Devils read! I really loved this one. I loved bizarre and life threatening circumstances bring two people together from totally different worlds. I loved the familiar betrayal and pain shared by absolute strangers. Most of all, I loved the second chance at finding romance! Like every other book in this series, within these pages you will find rough bikers, soft hearts, tenacious loyalty, found family, unexpected romance, and non stop action. Unlike every other book in this series, you will find older MCs, deep seeded betrayal, and a new prospect from a highly unlikely introduction! This author has once again managed to spin a story that is both comforting in its familiarity as well as new and exciting. It is awesome to be reading the Satan’s Devils next generation and seeing a whole new group of MCs at the frontline, some familiar but in diapers in the other books, and still have your old favorite MCs in the background. At this point, its truly reading about family. There are references made here from other books in the series. If you have not read a Satan’s Devils MC book before this, you will most certainly be able to follow the story, but will be missing references and little Easter eggs throughout that you would have had to read the other books to pick up on. My suggestion to get the most out of the stories it to start at the beginning with Turning Wheels. Cannot wait to keep going in this amazing MC world!

This is the fourth book in the Moto X series, and this is the first book that I have read from the author. This is a really good book and i was not disappointed. This can be read as a standalone, but I recommend reading the first 3 books before you start on this one.

Romance Under AquariusRomance Under Aquarius by Danielle Jacks
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

What a fun romantic adventure this book is! Kasper and Maris remind me of an adult Little Mermaid (not quite so wholesome). Kasper is trying to find a way that will heal his brother’s cancer and comes across Maris, a mermaid. The two of them continue the search for the healing jug with a few misadventures. Maris’ friends try to help her but end up messing up and causing their own ruckus. This book is laugh out loud funny! My family wanted to know what I was I was giggling at. The chemistry between Kasper and Maris was so well-done. It felt so natural. Her flirting with Owen and making Kasper jealous was awesome. The sibling rivalry fun was a nice touch. Pasha and Ryn’s betrayal of Maris and further misadventures seemed just right. I didn’t see that plot twist coming. Perfect! It fit in so smooth. I would have loved to see more of Pasha’s mom’s backstory. It was so intriguing that I had to keep going and couldn’t put it down. I had to know what was coming next. An engaging read that will have you waiting eagerly for the next book in the series. A quick and entertaining read that I recommend for romance lovers.

This is a very well-written book about adoption and the feelings that kids may have. Not only does it cover how an adopted child may feel but it also talks about how children may feel when they are mad at their parents and might wish they want a different life. I appreciate how the author approached the topic and made it a fun story that is entertaining yet covers real and important topics. This is a story that I will be sharing with my grandson. We have custody of him and it will help us explain some of how he feels is normal. Big feelings are okay. Great book that I recommend.

Flame and Crystal Thorns (Fae and Crystal Thorns Book 1) by Kay L. Moody – Review by Whisper Hymer

Flame and Crystal Thorns (Fae and Crystal Thorns)Flame and Crystal Thorns by Kay L. Moody
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Flame and Crystal Thorns begins a new series by Kay L. Moody. It is the story of Chloe who appears to have been a minor character from an earlier series. I am not certain as I’ve never read another book by this author. The book can, however, be read, understood, and enjoyed as a stand-alone read – though it did have a slow feeling start without prior knowledge of the characters and mystical world Ms. Moody has created.

Ms. Moody did a lovely job of explaining character motivation and interactions found in her previous work. Her writing is flowing and filled with descriptive language to help the reader immerse in the story. I found the story enchanting with a creative use of magic and its magical boundaries. The main character, Chloe, feels real as she struggles through doubt and fear. In a refreshing twist, we follow a reluctant hero with abilities but also heart and crippling fears. The intwined love story gave the book an intriguing companion for Chloe and added some interesting twists. All in all, I think I will need to get my hands on more works by Ms. Moody soon!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Chloe has made a life for herself back in the mortal world as the town’s apothecary. As a human, she’s content living this way and is adamant that she will never go back to Faerie, but sometimes things change.

When a fae shows up begging for her help in saving Faerie, she repeatedly says no until it’s apparent she cannot keep refusing. Her sister is in danger and she must go help fight the angry humans poisoning Faerie with iron.

She packs a bag to make the trip, but when making their way into Faerie things take a turn when the humans are stronger than anticipated. Now armed with a new magic, Chloe has to save all of Faerie before it’s too late.

Flame and Crystal Thorns was a fun, suspenseful read with wonderful world building. If you’re a fan of Sarah J. Maas you will absolutely love this story! It pulls you in from the first page and doesn’t willingly let you go until you’re craving more.

I adored Chloe and Quintus, and I’m excited to check out book 2 in this series. I’m 100% hooked and ready for more time in Faerie with this crew!

I throughly enjoy this Authors writing, it is so vivid and engaging, even when describing bandaging a wound. We are given a wonderful plot and very loveable characters. I look forward to reading previous books and new ones to come.

It really kept me in anticipation and on the edge of my seat wanting to know what was going to happen next with Chloe. Chloe is an amazing well put together character, her sass and determination and growth in the book made it hard not to enjoy her character. Chloe’s leadership and the was she was dealing with tasks make you know that she will be an amazing person and character. The visuals that were placed in the book about the Faerie world made you think you were right there and able to reach out and touch everything. This story did not disappoint me at all.

Chloe has acclimated back into the human world after being in Fairy for a while. She is the village apothecary and does her utmost to heal all who are injured or sick. When some of the villagers come down with an illness that she can’t cure without using Fairy elements, she becomes very concerned. Then a Fae from her past, Quintus, shows up asking for her help to save other Fae from humans who are poisoning Fairy with iron. They quickly figure out that the illness in the village is connected to the poisoning of Fairy. Can they work together to save Fairy and thus the villagers in time?

I enjoy this author’s books because they write Fae characters well. I haven’t read the series that this spins off from, but I will. Chloe seemed a little on the frail side of being able to deal with conflict. I appreciated reading about how she deals with it and finding out why she responds in the way she does. I look forward to finding out more in the next books!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This was my first book by Kay L Moody and let me say I was not disappointed. Chloe, a mortal, is happy living her life in the mortal realm as an apothecary, helping people. You might say this is her passion. Her quite life is interrupted when a familiar Fae, Quintus, shows up asking for her help is saving the Fae land, Faerie, from the mortals. Chloe only agrees because her older sister is a Fae living in Faerie and she wants to make sure she is OK.
Chloe is not the normal hero is in the story and at first, she is afraid and timid, because Chloe is not a fighter. Chloe has to discover her self-worth and so she knows what to bring to the table to help Faerie. This book ends on a cliff hanger and hopefully book 2 will be out soon!

This is the first-time reading Kay L. Moody and I have to say it was not what I was expecting. Flame and Crystal Thorns was one of the first Fae books that I have read. The world of Fae hasn’t been a world I’m that familiar with. After reading this book I found out that this a spin off from The Fae of Bitter Thorn series, that gives more background to the characters in this novel. Even though you can read this book without reading the other series I think I would have understood the book better. Chole isn’t the normal main character I am used to which was a change for me that’s for sure. This book left a great cliff hanger that leaves me wanting more. I am ready to read what come next for these characters.

Enjoyable paranormal romance story with auras, ghosts, mystery and romance. Morgan Cutler is an ER nurse with many years experience……and going through a near death experience of her own she now has the psychic ability to see spirits of deceased people. There were moments that I chuckled with all the dialogue with Morgan and the “spirits”. I love that Morgan was also opening up herself to something new and throw in a handsome ER Doctor…what can truly happen if Morgan does see evil or are things better left unseen??

Morgan has had a brain aneurism rupture, and a few weeks after surgery she starts to see, hear and smell things that shouldn’t be possible. One night she wakes up to a party in her living room that she can see, hear and even smell, though the people aren’t really there, and they don’t seem to be able to see or hear her. Eventually, she learns that she can see auras as well as spirits from the other side. As an ER nurse, this can sometimes be frustrating for Morgan, as she is overwhelmed with recently passed people who want or need her help, or just want someone to talk to. Eventually, Morgan learns that she’s not the only one in her friends group who has these abilities, and her friends are eager and willing to help her learn how to work her powers and navigate the new world she’s found herself in. Now, if she could just get the male ghost in her house to behave appropriately, she’d be in a much better position.

This was my first book by this author, although I see that he has other series that have a similar vibe so I am definitely going to check those out. One of the things that I loved about this book was the strong female character. I love reading about female detectives that get the job done and the mysteries solved, which comes all the way from my childhood reading Nancy Drew books. I think it is so important for authors to write independent, capable female characters across all genres. I definitely recommend this book to anyone that enjoys mystery series. It kept me interested from the beginning to the end and made me want to go to the beach!

Collateral Damage (Mafia Elite Series Book 6) by Amy McKinley – Review by Jessica Stone

This is the first book I’ve read from this author or in this series, there are multiple books that come before this one but you do not have to have previously read those to understand this story. This story, Collateral damage, follows Hayley and Trey.

Trey still reeling from the death of his previous girlfriend meets Hayley prior to this book but chooses to walk away having not healed from his loss.
Months later Hayley gets kidnapped, and Trey is asked by Hayley’s step father Allen,(who sits on the board of the hospital Trey works at and Hayley’s mom owns)to find and save Hayley from whatever fate awaits her, Trey will do anything to get Hayley back.

After some crazy twist and turns Hayley and Trey end up in a twisted web of lies and secrets that just might tear them apart or worse one of them could wind up dead.

A very slow burn, friends to lovers, mafia romance, with just the right amount of action. I can’t wait to read more in this series. It introduces you to many faces who have their own books in the series and if they are as good as this one I’ll be on the edge of my seat the entire time.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Loved reading this tale about Grace, a young woman who learned to fight as a means for survival, and then fighting in an underground circuit as a way to make money to help support her mother and sister after her father dies. The struggle of facing starvation and threat of losing her family due to her mother’s schizophrenia and their impoverished living conditions is all Grace can focus on in her small little world in the Bronx.
But, when she gets offered a deal to fight legitimately while representing a freshly launched athletic clothing brand, it affords her an opportunity to finally think beyond how she’s going to pay for medications and care for her mother and when her next meal will be. Weighed by promises and ghosts from the past, Grace has to figure out how to overcome her emotions and fears and decide if fighting professionally is something she wants.
With a cast full of colorful and diverse characters, the author did a great job weaving a story about overcoming hardships, facing fears, finding yourself, healing from the past, dedication and perseverance, and building community with those around you. I’m excited to read the next book in the series!

Lois has taken so many science classes that she believes science is the solution to almost every problem, including the dilemmas in fairy tales. She has invented what she calls Science Folktales. In each science-based tale, the protagonist achieves a better ending than the original because of learning scientific principles. She has turned some of these tales into plays for children.

She has also created a series of Mermaid Science stories, which make use of water science.

Lois is married to the love of her life. She has two children and four grandchildren, and a dog. She gardens, rides her bike, and tries to save the planet.
