Taming of the Few (Guardians of the PHAE Book 1) by Rowan Dillon – Review by La Toya Lewis

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Wow! That’s all I can say about this book: fantastic world-building, well-written plot, and great characters. While there are a lot of characters it is not difficult to keep track. The plot has a lot of relevance to our real world and it’s easy to see where the author drew references. I absolutely adored the Byrne family. They were a soothing balm for every character; especially little Fiona. I was amazed at how Ms. Dillon pulled off such an intricate yet easy-to-understand plot. I found myself to be very unwilling to put this book down. I can’t wait to read book 2 for a continuation of the cliffhanger that we were left on.

Levi is known for being a playboy who no woman has been able to resist. A series of events forces him to have to finally grow up and he ends up working with Kindle. She’s his supervisor and the one woman that seems immune to his charms. Their chemistry is undeniable but he is going to have his work cut out for him if he wants to change her mind about him. This was such a great book! Levi changes so much throughout the story, he really matures and becomes a much better person. I was pulled in from the very first page and couldn’t wait to see what would happen next. If you’re a romance fan, this is one book you’re definitely not going to want to miss!

This was a great 5 star read. Levi (Squid) is quite the player, after he got his heart broken he has no plans to commit. He picks up women at the bars, has his time with them and leaves. After one encounter he finds that those choices can come back to bite you. He also gets some news from his father, he has been cut off. He is a very smart man and is now being told he has to work, no more playboying around. Levi has had several encounters with a woman he can’t get out of his mind, fate steps in and he sees her again. Kindle has been very adamant about keeping him at arm’s length, will she be able to continue to resist him?

Overall I really enjoyed this read. I liked seeing all the characters from the previous books and had some LOL moments. I was pulled in right from the beginning with all that was going on and didn’t want to put it down. I really enjoyed Levi and Kindles story. This can be read as a stand alone but I suggest reading the other books in the Moto X series, all of the characters are great. 1-click and get started today.

IllegalIllegal by K.J. Gillenwater
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This romantic suspense novel was a real page turner and I was hooked from page one. Selena Hernandez discovers that she was brought to the United States illegally as a child, and in order to become a legal immigrant, she must return to Mexico, a country she does not know. Selena meets Wyatt Demko, an embassy employee whilst at the US Embassy asking for help with a visa. Wyatt is happy to help Selena, but the more they discover about her past which includes connections to a notorious and dangerous drug cartel, Wyatt’s own carefully planned life is upended. Having escaped a hard upbringing in a Wisconsin trailer park, Wyatt has worked hard for his stable career with the State Department. However, he also wants to keep Selena safe, and maybe win her heart at the same time.
As Selena fights to be allowed to return home to the US, her complicated situation becomes an international affair, whilst she’s stuck in a unknown land. Wyatt and Selena only have a few days to attempt the impossible, including hiding from the brutal drug cartel and the corrupt law enforcement, to make a daring getaway. This novel kept me gripped from start to finish with its fast paced and action packed storyline, and plot twists that kept me guessing. The characters were likeable and relatable and I felt engaged with them, and the settings from the streets of Mexico City to the sandy beaches of the Yucatan Peninsula were brought vividly to life by the descriptive narrative. The chemistry between Selena and Wyatt really came across in the writing and I liked how their relationship developed. This was an enjoyable and exciting read, full of drama, suspense, and plenty of romance.

Heart Broken: Satan’s Devils MC, Volume 5 Audio Book by Manda Mellett

Rating: 5 of 5 starts

I was so excited to get Heart’s story! After what he had been through in previous books, I was rooting for him from the very start. The book starts right where the one before left off, and Heart has basically been sent to roam on his own after some serious mis-steps on his part. Marc becomes his unlikely friend and the rest of the book is a whirlwind of grief, tragedy, violence, and learning to love. Top all that off with a brotherhood that keeps me coming back for more after every book I read, and you have got a great novel! This author always manages to find a new way to tackle an MC love story, making each story familiar, yet brand new. I love the way the author deals with very real, serious and tragic backstories, and shows how each character overcomes them and is still able to find love and grow. Looking forward to the next, as usual! Take note that this book is number 5 in the series. I would say that they can be understood and followed separately, but there are backstories, and other connections that you would miss if you do not read them in order so I highly recommend starting with Turning Wheels.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Flame and Crystal Thorns is the first book in the Fae and Crystal Thorns series. This is an off-shoot series based on an earlier series by the author. I had not read that series but had no issues following and enjoying this book. The story is a young adult series but with a new type of hero. Chloe is not a warrior but a healer and does not live in her homeland of Faerie. She goes back against her will when her sister is in danger. I enjoyed the story and liked Chloe. She is intelligent and caring. I like that she isn’t your typical hero but still succeeds at helping others. I look forward to reading more from this series and seeing where Chloe’s story leads.

Flame and Crystal Thorns (Fae and Crystal Thorns, #1)Flame and Crystal Thorns by Kay L. Moody
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Chloe is an apothecary in the mortal realm. She is the one the townspeople come to for help. However, when a fae from her past shows up unexpectedly, telling her she must return to Faerie to help save it, her instinct is to deny his request. Her last time there she was forced into a war and betrayed….so she does not want to be put in that situation again. When he tells her that her sister is in danger, she knows that she must return to keep her safe.

From the moment they arrive in Faerie, Chloe and Quintus are finding danger every turn they make. Chloe’s selflessness, and need to protect others before herself, just might be her downfall. Can she save her sister, and the rest of the fae, before it’s too late? What does her newfound magic, and bond to Quintus, really mean?

This book leaves on quite a cliffhanger…so I will be looking forward to the next book to see what happens. I enjoyed the characters and the action just never seems to stop. Chloe never gets a moment of peace…it seems as though she is always in danger (sometimes from herself). I was engaged with the story from beginning to end.

Flame and Crystal Thorns (Fae and Crystal Thorns, #1)Flame and Crystal Thorns by Kay L. Moody
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This book follows the story of Chloe, a strong headed and strong even stronger opinionated apothecary who quite literally runs herself ragged trying to place the needs of others before herself. As her mysterious background is revealed, the reader is shown that although she has direct relation to the fae, her thoughts and desires regarding Faerie are quite the opposite. Having quite literally vowed to never return, it is not until a mysterious illness begin sparking up in mortal realm that threatens more than just the people,that Her past comes barging in. Quite literally.

Que Quinton, a brooding fae male who is more mysterious and closed off than Chloe herself. The reader follows along as Chloe desperately grasps for a cure and finds herself back in the one place she never wish to be, doing something she never thought that she’d be doing. The witty banter, storyline, and overall flow of this book makes it very difficult for the reader to put it down. Having finished it in a day, and then being struck by a cliffhanger, it makes for a wicked anticipation lying in wait for the next installment of the series.

As a lover of both fantasy and the fae, this is an easy read that leans toward more traditional lore, and it is lovely seeing the side of apothecary as well and the strain that being a caretaker can have on an individual. Very well written indeed.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This was another fun fae read! The main character, Chloe, is a mortal and town apothecary and is asked to return to the faerie realm so that she can help save the fae who are being attacked by the mortals. She doesn’t want to leave all of the people that she helps, but since her sister became a fae and is living in the other realm she goes back to help save her. Quintus is the fae who comes to ask for help and there is tension from the moment he arrives. The relationship between Chloe and Quintus is interesting throughout the book and I want to know more about their past. I really liked the world building and the descriptions of the faerie realm. Chloe freezes when in danger and she has to work through many things to be able to help anyone. I didn’t know that this was a spinoff from another series so I will need to go back and read them. I felt like there was so much history about the sister and the backstory between Chloe and Quintus that I needed to know more about!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I really enjoyed reading about this female lead. Typically, the heroine is there kicking down doors ad sprigging into action when there’s a conflict – or at least that’s been my experience – but Chloe is a healer at heart and not one to go running towards danger. The premise of the story felt very well-rounded to me and I was able to picture things in a more realistic way – even if the time the book is set in doesn’t reflect the current period. I’m not normally one for books about the fae, sometimes it just gets too complicated and convoluted for me, but the way this story was written made it easier for me to read through without feeling like I was drowning in information. I was able to read this book without having read the series that originally introduced the characters, but now I kind of want to go back and read Chole and Quintus’s back story for more information. Can’t wait to read the next book in the series and see where the author takes the story from here!

Great beginning for this series! Very good writing and character building. Chloe isn’t your typical strong, go get em type of main character but I really felt a connection with her. She was very relatable. I’m definitely loving Quintus and his whole being. Books about fae are my favorite and this one didn’t disappoint. Great YA book if you love all things fae! It does end with quite the cliffhanger so be prepared to purchase the next book!

Deadly Sommer (Nora Sommer #1)Deadly Sommer by Nicholas Harvey
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is a new author to me and I love all things murder mystery but this one was over the top. The storyline is amazing, it’s kind of like a game show that no one wants to be on. The characters are super relatable and at first you hate them but by the end the ones you started out hate you don’t hate quite as much.

Nora, who has not had an easy life up to this point, is persuaded to join the Cayman Island Police force. Just less than a month into the job Nora and her partner stumble across a kidnapping where unbeknownst to Nora the kidnapper has chosen her to participate in his story. Now with a girl’s life on the line Nora has to complete four separate challenges or the Kidnapped victim will face the consequences. As the story unfolds it seems that though they thought they had all the pieces figured out it turns out that they don’t know the full story. Can Nora complete the challenges in time to avoid consequences to the victim? Will the truth about the past ever fully be uncovered?

This is a story as old as time where the past doesn’t always stay in the past and until all the secrets have come to life the whole story cannot be uncovered. This book takes a while for the reader to start putting the pieces together. It is a compelling read that I could not put down. I myself am excited to dive into the other books in this series to see what this author has up his sleeve next for Nora. I will be recommending this book to everyone, definitely give it a try you won’t be disappointed!

I thoroughly enjoyed this action packed crime thriller, which had me hooked from page one. Nora Sommer’s is new to the Royal Cayman Islands Police Service, and her first case is definitely not one she will forget. Nora is first on the scene when the daughter of a wealthy businessman goes missing, she is then ‘chosen’ by the kidnapper to complete four treacherous challenges. The crime is then live-streamed on the internet for everyone to watch as Nora faces the dangerous challenges, whilst the kidnapped girl’s life depends on her success. However, it’s not just the girls life on the line as Nora undertakes this difficult case. The storyline is full of drama and suspense, whilst the plot twists kept me guessing. Nora is a strong main character, who is likeable and relatable and I felt engaged with her throughout the story. I literally could not put this book down, it’s a real page turner.

Picture this: The Cayman Islands, a deadly game of cat and mouse, murder and mayhem, kidnapping, a psychotic killer and so much more. This is what Nicholas gives us in 64 pages with this intense psychological thriller new series. It is intriguing, suspenseful, and mysterious. Detective Sommer is a sassy, strong and let’s not forget feisty female lead character. Non-stop action from start to finish.

It is a race against the clock to find the hostage and ultimately the kidnapper.

It will be good to see what Nicholas has in store next for her next.

Nora Sommer is only a few weeks into her new career as a police officer on the normally pretty quiet Cayman Islands. Her first case is definitely one for the books. A young woman named Skylar, daughter of a rich businessman, is kidnapped. Nora is the first on the scene. Once getting there, a video pops up of a man congratulating Nora for being chosen to compete in 4 challenges to potentially save Skylar’s life. If Nora beats all 4 challenges, both women will be set free. If Nora fails said challenges, Skylar has a chance of being killed.

I really enjoyed this book. It kept me on my toes trying to guess what is going to happen next. Everything was so unpredictable. I also really liked how the author wrote the antagonist, he had a reason for everything which made him much more relatable and I could sympathize with him.

Meanwhile Nora is amazing. She had a hard life already in her 19 years of life and she is just trying to make the best of it. She is witty and sarcastic. Although she didn’t know Skylar, she was still willing to throw her life away to save this young girl.

Coyote's Road TripCoyote’s Road Trip by Laura Koerber
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Set in a dystopian future this book seemed interesting so I decided to give it a fair try. There are a lot of characters in this story so keeping up on who’s who can be challenging. While this story is about a road trip that is exactly how it feels as we read through the thoughts of Coyote. The description feels like you are right there with the characters and can see the trip playing out like a movie in your mind. I found myself reminiscing about road trips taken in the past.

The main character of our book is a coyote shapeshifter named Jim who takes this trip with no destination in mind. After recalling the numerous deaths around him including his beloved planet he needs a new start somewhere to call home. On this road trip he comes across a cast of characters, some good and some not as good but definitely lost and need help to find a good path in life again. Along the way he realizes that what he is searching for may not be a place at all but a purpose for being alive. Can Coyote Jim find a new place to call home? Will he find his purpose in life and is he courageous enough to step into it?

Overall, this was a very quick read. You definitely have to pay close attention because if your mind wanders or gets distracted it is hard to keep up. Especially with the amount of characters in this book and their interaction with Coyote Jim. It is a new take on ancestral spirits and a dystopian world. This book definitely takes you on a trip both figuratively and literally, definitely worth a read if you are looking for something new and a bit different!

Even though he is still a member of a ruthless and powerful mafia family he is also kind and compassionate and a doctor. It was easy to get behind Hailey’s cause and want to see them take down her traitorous stepfather, and find love in the middle of it all.

Hailey staged her own kidnapping in order to extort money out of her stepfather. When Trey was enlisted to help find her, he realized what her plan was and decided to help her. Together they work to get the money from her stepfather all the while trying not to fall in love with each other. When things start happening beyond their control, they must lean on each other to survive.
Opinion
Of all of the books in this series, this one ends in the biggest twist that I’ve seen in a book in quite a while. It is well worth the read just to see what that twist is. The back and for dance between Trey and Hailey is cute and almost innocent. With Trey being the doctor of the family, there was not enough action for me in a mafia book.

Collateral Damage: A Second Chance Mafia Romance (Mafia Elite #6) by Amy McKinley

Another fantastic read by the author. Collateral Damage is the sixth book in the Mafia Elite Series. This time it’s Trey’s turn. Only this time she might not die.

Trey might just be getting his second chance at love. Hailey has done nothing wrong and she tugs at his heart. Will Trey be able to save her in time? The quote I chose for Trey is: “Be careful how you talk to me, Allen. You won’t like the repercussions. Make it happen with the board, and I’ll see what I can do about your daughter.”

Hailey goes to meet her dad, only she doesn’t call Allen her dad. She falls for Trey but can’t let it be known as she doesn’t want to get her heart broken. The quote I chose for Hayley is: “So you took on his crisis rather than tell him to shove it? He could have gone to the cops. I don’t understand why you got involved. It seems like this is more of a headache for you.”

Highly recommended for Mafia Romance lovers.

I was captured from the beginning. Angelina is an artist who has made a living for herself with a studio that she poured her heart and soul into. Luca and Salvatore are twin “hybrids” that have been searching for her for a long time. Angelina has been having dream with two beautiful men that she cannot move past, but when these two men are no longer just dreams, her world is tilted on its axis. I loved the introduction of the twins into Angelina’s world and how they saved her. The plot is well developed, the romance is well done, the book is spicy and in general, I could not put it down. The detail in the writing makes it easy to fall in love with the characters. If you like paranormal, spice, and adventure, definitely give this book a shot.

Captivating is the best way to describe Captivated! an interesting ménage romance with a deadly twist. Well at least it seems that way…
Salvatore and Luca have finally found their mate. Unfortunately they need to get to her before Viktor does. If Viktor were to succeed in killing her it would in time lead to their demise as well. How you wonder? Well you are going to have to jump in and read the story the author weaves for them.
Angelina, unlucky in love. Constantly being set up on blind dates by her best friend, refuses to settle for less than she deserves. Little does she know that she’s not only going to be on the receiving end of one man’s love but two. And it’s going to change her life forever.
This is the 2nd book I’ve read by this author and they are definitely different. The author weaves unexpected stories within supernatural/paranormal elements with grace. I look forward to jumping into more books in the future! Possibly even this series since it is book 1 after all.

4.5 Stars

 

Captivated is the first book in the Hybrid Lovers series by Toya Richardson. I have read many of Ms. Richardson’s books now, and I can honestly say that this is my favourite (so far). It is a fantastic paranormal romance, with angel/vampire hybrids, demons, danger, magic, emotion, chemistry, sizzle, fated mates, suspense, mystery, high stakes, good vs evil, the fate of humankind in the balance, action, and dynamic world-creation.
This is very original and a little different from other books of Ms. Richardson’s that I have read-she has developed a winning recipe here, for sure. I can’t wait to get my hands on book #2 to see where we go from here.
If you love paranormal romance, with sexy twins, a ménage, plenty of sizzle, and an exciting story- then you will definitely want this book in your life!
Bring on Book #2!
Happy Reading!

Thank you, Toya Richardson!

Captivated is the first book in the Hybrid Lovers Series and my new favorite book by this author. This is a Paranormal Romance that is packed with action, suspense drama romance, magic, mystery and so much more. I’m a huge fan of this author and I’ve read several of her books but this one definitely tops the list. This is one of those books that will pull you in from the beginning and doesn’t let go till the end. I was simply captivated by the characters and the storyline flowed so well that I got lost in the pages . This is a story about Angelina and the twins Sal and Luca. She’s been having very vivid dreams of two hot guys every night. Then there’s the super hot twins who have searching for their mate. They finally catch her scent the same time they save her life. These three bond grows stronger as each day goes by even when danger is thrown their way. Will Angelina be strong enough to help take down the Enemy or will the three of them be condemned to death? I highly recommend reading this book to find out what happens next.. I look forward to reading more from this Author.
