This isn’t the first book I’ve read by the author. Captivated is the first book in the Hybrid Lovers Series. The author has outdone themselves by writing this book.
Angelina finds that going on a blind date can end well. She not only gets one true love, but two true loves. They’re not exactly human like she is. The quote I chose for Angelina is: “You might be right, but I’m not going to settle for any guy just so I can say I’m in a relationship.”
Salvatore is Luca’s twin brother. He’s not human and he isn’t exactly one part of something. He’s part-vampire part-Angel and he’s a hybrid. He has been waiting for his mate for a long time. The quote I chose for Salvatore is: “This is it, Luca. It’s our woman. It’s far too compelling to be anything else but her.”
Luca is the twin brother to Salvatore. He is also a hybrid. He is excited that he and his brother are getting their mate. The quote I chose for Luca is: “Maybe it’s different because there are now three in this relationship, Sal. We are the only twins in vampire or angel history, at least for a very long time. The last twins were killed many centuries ago.”
I was enthralled with the uniqueness of the creation of half vampire and half angel. Angelina was dreaming about her soulmates Luca and Salvatore before she even met them. Once mated Angelina grows beautiful wings the color of her hair. Even before she is fully mated she starts developing powers. Though her biggest sacrifice is losing her best friend Cassie tragically by a demon who was after Angelina.

This is such an inspirational book. Jax got hurt in an accident and has been struggling with his self confidence especially when it comes to the ladies. He wants to be seen for the person that he is and not for his disability. Lennox crosses his path and the attraction is immediate and intense. Jax decides that he isn’t going to let his disability keep him from happiness any longer but it’s going to be an uphill struggle to try to make things work. This was such a great book you’re definitely not going to want to miss. It’s inspirational and has you look at life from a different perspective, and realize that circumstances aren’t insurmountable if you want something badly enough.

I really enjoyed this Trilogy of stories. The author does an amazing job of taking mythical stories and retelling them in a way that makes them more relatable. Each story is unique it’s it own way but it what I really loved is that the stories are seen and told from a female perspective. This really brings the stories to life as you get to feel every emotion felt. I understood the feelings of Demeter as a mother myself. I felt her need to protect her daughter and her grief at her loss. But at the same time i understood Persephone’s need to grow and make her own way.
These books are mythical story’s full of angst, gods, emotions, adventure and a insight into the relationships from a deeper point of view. Amazingly written I was captivated with them all and I know have a new love for Greek Mythology.
I really enjoyed this trilogy of stories based on timeless tales from Mythology, but retold with a new perspective. Each story is told from the females point of view, giving a voice to the women who made the stories, such as, “Homeric Hymn to Demeter, the Odyssey, and the Epic of Gilgamesh”, so memorable. By retelling these tales of myth and adventure, both the ancient world and the world of gods, monsters, and the otherworldly, are made relevant to todays readers. I was hooked from start to finish and I felt completely immersed in the stories, due to the wonderful descriptive narrative, the fascinating historical details, and the relatable characters. An enjoyable and engaging read.

A lovely retelling of three well-known installments, but from the feminine point of view. These retellings are a fresh new perspectives on stories that have been twisted and turned many times throughout their lifetime. It is lovely to see the different thoughts from a new perspective that had been caged and stifled for far too long. The majority of retellings require a basic knowledge of what the actual story is beforehand, but with the reads like these, you don’t need to have a decent foundation built to understand it. The character list was greatly helpful in identifying characters and added to the help of refreshing the reader’s mind beforehand.
It would be amazing to see work such as these included in the literature regimen that has their source material mandated to allow readers and students to have numerous perspectives that aren’t just from the masculine point of view.
Overall, a good read and a refresher from most retellings. It was easy to love the characters in these new lights and offer even more insight into already well-known and loved stories. I would read again.

If you love Greek myth retellings with fresh perspectives and romance, this novel is for you.
A Veil Of God’s and Kings by Nicole Bailey is the retelling of the rare myth about Apollo and Hyacinth. The reimagining is a fun , modern take on the myth.
Told in 3 perspectives: Apollo, Hyacinth and Epiphany, you get a broad view and range of emotions with great characterization, especially that of Apollo. His character has depth showing his raw emotional side paired with his fun, charismatic and sometime self depreciating side.
This was a great start to the series and I am sure so many will dive right into this immersive world and not want to leave it.

Ancient Reflections: A Mythic Trilogy by Tamara Agha-Jaffar. This trilogy was amazing. Its the stories of ancient myths but told in a woman’s view. Its such a beautifully written story that it will capture you and not let you go until its over. I was up flipping pages late in the night. Its a modern take on old tales. The first story is A Pomegranate and the Maiden the story of Persephone and Demeter. The second is Unsung Odysseys the retelling of the “Odyssey’ whish tells the tale of Odysseus’ adventures on his journey home from Troy. And last but not least is the third story “Gilgamesh of Uruk”- is the retelling of the “Epic of Gilgamesh” an epic tale of the legendary Mesopotamian. They are all so wonderfully told that you can see exactly where these characters are and how beautiful the places are. If you enjoyed the originals of these stories then do yourself a favor and read this modern uptake of them. You won’t be disappointed!
Brilliant Suspense paranormal This is my first book by this author and the second book in the series. Though I didn’t feel like I was missing anything, I must go back and read the first. I was totally gripped from start to finish, the characters, world building and story line were well executed. The book has a dark, edgy feel with twists and turns that was very appealing. Recommend.

What an interesting take on this fabulous and gripping paranormal romance!! This book is the 2nd in a series but I do not feel as though I’ve missed any aspects regarding the storyline by not reading the first book. Rest assured, it’s on my list now and I’ve found another author that I enjoy reading!
Avery goes out with some friends to a local bar but finds herself waking up naked in her apartment covered only by a sheet. She hadn’t been drinking. How did she get here? She does remember someone over in the bushes…but who? How long has she been unaware of her surroundings?
Luys lives in the same condo building as Avery and when he sees her stumbling around aimlessly, he can’t help but step in to see what he can do. He knows better than to get attached though…his past could put both of their lives in danger. He can’t just let her wander around or worse yet, get in a car and have an accident.
Mayor is a rather interesting character. I am intrigued by her entrances and exits. It reminds me of someone rather green with envy. 😉 She’s a character that I wanted to hate but couldn’t. I found her very intriguing!
The paranormal aspects are unlike anything I’ve read before. I found the ties to Aztec history to be very interesting!! I appreciate that there is still a bit of mystery to the paranormal aspect as well and the book isn’t heavy on the paranormal until things really heat up. Even then, I found myself almost forgetting that I was reading a paranormal book. Very nice touch!
I had a hard time putting this one down, as the author really keeps the reader engaged with appropriate bits of action and some romance. There was a beautiful blend of all aspects throughout the book without any super heavy overtones that are seen in some more common works. This was an extremely enjoyable read!!

This was a different kind of book than I normally read so I wasn’t really sure what to expect. This book is fast paced enough that it kept me engaged. It was full of suspense that kept my wondering what was going on the whole time! A Long Kiss Goodbye had a twist and turn around every corner.
This is the second book in the series and now I will be going back to read the first!

My kids loved it! I was a little worried that it wouldn’t keep their attention, but that was not an issue! They loved it so much they started acting out scenes while I was reading. It was hilarious to watch. This book took my kids on a fun adventure, and they loved every minute of it. Now they want me to read it every day. So, I would say this is a success and so much fun!

I love this series! Every book just hooks me some more. As the series goes on, I find it harder to pick a favorite. But this just might be my favorite so far. The chemistry between Trey and Hailey was amazing! So much heat and fire! I think Trey might be my favorite character so far. He seems so sweet and intelligent, even though he’s part of the mafia family I can’t help but love him. I can’t wait to see what happens in the next book when we get Nico’s story.

I loved this book. It was a great story, and my emotions were all over the place! I have not read the previous books in the series. I didn’t feel lost, but I can’t wait to go back and read them! I really like the Motorcycle Club and Cop becoming friends, especially because it’s “forbidden” in the motorcycle club world. I can’t wait to see what happens next, but first I have to catch up on the books before this one. Give it a listen or read, you won’t be disappointed! The narrators did a great job telling this story. It was told in such a way that kept me hooked the entire time!

Life in Parker, Oklahoma, is quiet for school teacher Karen Posey. Simple. Uncomplicated. Even though Karen’s innate beauty has turned the head of every man in Parker at least once, anyone who has been in the small town for any amount of time knows one thing: Karen Posey is completely, irrevocably unavailable.
Once the shy, nerdy kid in school completely uncomfortable in his own skin, Brody Cooper’s years away from home have allowed him to reinvent himself into a successful, sexy, confident alpha male. A cruel twist of fate has left Brody’s hard-built career in jeopardy, leaving Brody only one choice: return to his hometown of Parker, Oklahoma, until he figures out what his future holds.
A chance meeting with the aloof Karen in the town’s grocery store piques Brody’s interest. Will his self-confident charm be enough to break down the wall of defense Karen has solidified around her heart or will Karen be destined to be alone forever with only her secrets to keep her company?
Olivia Sherwood writes feel-good, happy-ever-after romances she hopes elicit smiles and laughs from all her readers. Her first novel, “Why Giraffes Have Long Necks” won the fifth grade creative writing award; that’s when her love for writing bloomed. Her mother still has the original copy in the bottom drawer of her dresser.
Olivia was born and raised in Oklahoma but her heart belongs to the ocean. When she’s not traveling to the beach as much as she can, she spends her time hiking the small mountains of southern Oklahoma with her two kids and goofy rescue dog, planting flowers in her garden, or doing yoga in her living room. She may also be found curled up on the couch, her two cats in the crook of her legs, reading a good book.

Elena and Marco are back again in book 4 of the Mafia Elite series. They had that amazing instant connection that makes every woman jealous. Again, this is book 4 in the Mafia Elite Series and Ms. Amy McKinley did not disappoint. The characters are amazing and very well written. The storyline is phenomenal as always. The author has a way with her words that causes the story to come to life right before my eyes, I read the entire book in one sitting, only stopping when necessary. I’m excited to read the next book in the series.
This is book 5 of the Mafia Elite series. I highly recommend reading the other books in the series first as you would be confused if the books were read out of orders and some things would also be spoiled. This book focuses on the relationship between Luc and Summer. I enjoyed summer’s strength and her ability to stand on her own two feet despite life throws many curb balls at her. I also enjoyed Luc’s character arc and seeing him grow from self-made businessman into a mafia heir who has a family and is one of five families who run the Chicago mob scene. I’m excited to see what the author has in store for this storyline in the near future.
Another absolute amazing piece of written work. Every book in this series has given a different view into the lives of the different characters. Each time the author never fails to deliver that connection to the characters leaving you wanting more. It makes putting the book down hard when you are presented with the need to know what will happen next. Absolutely loved this book.

This is book 6 to the mafia elite series and I was not disappointed yet again. Just when you think the author has all the characters written into their own story, she writes more character stories that will leave you breathless and itching for more. Her writing is so dynamic and engaging that I’m not able to sit still and I’m always on the edge of my sitting waiting for more. This is Trey De La Rosa’s story, who lives 2 lives as a doctor and mafia surgeon for the five mafia families. This duality leads very little time for any personal life, not that Trey wants one after what happened. That’s until he is approached by Allen in a frantic state telling him that someone has kidnapped Hailey for a ransom. As more secrets unfold, more threats arise from those within and outside of the mafia.

A Veil of Gods and Kings was nothing less than riveting. From the enemies to lovers, the romance, the mythology, and the yearning to relate to the characters; it was truly magical. This book puts a spin on the commonly known versions of mythology and allows your imagination and visualization to run wild with the imagery and emotion pull that is written. This is definitely a 10 out of 10 recommended!

Elena grew up as a princess to the Chicago Mafia, a member of the Five Families. She was adopted by Nicole Caruso, wife of the head of the Caruso family after her mother was murdered by the Bratva, and another attempt was made as she grew, leading to the death of another one of the Five Families kids. As an adopted kid, she always felt a little…less than the rest of them, despite her strong relationship with her mama and friendships with the other daughters. As the families grew older, she was promised to marry Enzo. After another attempt on her life Elena decided to run and remove the target from her family and friends, leaving behind everything she knew. In an effort to keep them protected, she didn’t even search for information about them online, changed her name, continued to change her appearance and keep her skills sharp.
After she was located by the Bratva, Elena was lucky enough to get a warning and grabbed her go bag to run – just to find her childhood crush, Marco La Rosa at her door. Elena and Marco grew up together, but as they got older he began to distance himself from her and then thought she was dead when she disappeared and covered her tracks. He received word she was alive and came to bring her home himself, and was in time to save her life.
On the way back to Chicago, Elena learned she had a new brother running the family, some of the members of the families had been murdered, and that her new brother Max Caruso is the new head of the family and arranged a marriage for her to Marco. While she spent much of her life with feelings for Marco, she has no clue of his feelings for her or that this is anything other than a marriage of covenience. What she finds out is that he has loved her for a long time, drew away due to her arranged marriage to another of the families, and thought he had lost her once. Marco refuses to let her out of his sight or into danger again without him by her side.
This book has lots of action, and I love how much the women are included in decisions and how tough and capable they are! Elena thought she not only didn’t fit in exactly, but that everyone would hate her for lying to them and running away, but after 5 years away she has found how much she missed everyone and how much they’ve missed her. Being back in Chicago, she is able to spend time with Nicole again, learn about why the Bratva is so determined to find her, learn about the relationships amongst the new heads of the families and find her relationship with Marco. Neither wants a marriage with no love involved and make an effort to be open and honest with one another. After so much time lost, Marco and Elena are a real force to be reckoned with and have lost time to make up for.
As with the rest of the Mafia Elite series, I love the relationship and world building in this book. The passion is obvious, the action is exciting, the mystery is intriguing, there is lots of twists and turns. While these books are all great standalone stories, they’re even better when you read them all.
Every one of these books that I have read has been my favorite. It all depends on which one I’m reading at the moment as to which one is my current favorite. The Five Families all have stunningly gorgeous and deadly members who would lay down their lives for one another. While all of this series is perfectly great as a standalone book, they’re even better if you read them together and better understand the relationships amongst them.
This book focuses on Trey, who up until now has played a pretty minimal but extremely important role as both a young genius ER doctor with residency as well as the doctor to the Five Families. He has been mysterious thanks to the lower profile he played in the previous 5 stories.
Trey has been working with almost no breaks, between his love of his job and his love of his family. Last time he tried to date, a hit on him gone wrong ended up getting his girlfriend killed. He was restless, grieving, and not willing to go through that again – until he met Hailey at a fundraiser. For a while, Hailey made him forget about Theresa and his pain. When a conversation reminded him of her, he fled and left Hailey daydreaming about him and feeling abandoned…again.
When Hailey is kidnapped, her stepfather Allen reaches out to Trey to help find her. As the story unfolds he tracks her down and they hatch a plan together, attempting to deny their attraction to one another. Each of his family members, mafia and otherwise, take notice of Trey and his reactions to Hailey, as well as hers to him. While Trey keeps Hailey under his protection, will they be able to resist each other? Will they be able to walk away once the plan has been completed? Trey proves to be a much more passionate character than we have seen in previous books, and has both a savior and a sinner in him. Hailey has a past that has left her unsure and mostly alone, and she hasn’t stopped dreaming about Trey since the dances they shared at the fundraising event. They prove to be very complimentary of one another and Hailey finds a sense of belonging within the family that she hasn’t had in a very long time.
There are so many layers to each of these characters, their relationships, their fears, their loyalties, their pasts – the world building and relationship building is excellent in all of them. There’s romance, there’s danger, there’s friendships and betrayals. I recommend starting at book 1, but each is as wonderful as the last.

Wow I think I have found my new obsession. This is the first book inthe series and first book by this author that i have read. I am really hooked. I love supernatural romances and boy this really filled that empty space that I have had.
The author has taken two very hot supernatural beings and put them into hybrid form and boy has that really hit the spot. I really like how there is just enough drama and adventure to balance the romance. I really love fated mates story lines. The author has really brought the characters to life and I felt as though I was there in the midst of it all. I cannot wait to read more from this author and series.
This book is book one of a series. It’s also the first book I’ve read by this author but I have to say I enjoyed it!
Grace is a fighter, in more than one sense of the word. Grace is determined and she’s doing everything she can for her family. Grace is fierce and independent and when she gets the chance to go pro she puts everything she has in it. Grace has to do everything she can to take care of her family. This story is about life and everything that comes with that.
I really enjoyed this story. I couldn’t get enough of it. I also liked that Grace, as the main character, is a fighter. You don’t see enough strong women doing something that is typically male dominated. I couldn’t put this down and can’t wait to see where the series goes next.

What a fun story to read to the children. Aidan and Sophia are at the library when the stinky aliens arrive. While the other children run to find a safe place to hide. Sophia and Aidan stay to help Mrs. Booker, the librarian. Lets not forget the hot dog sludge in the cafeteria. This is a nice opening to visiting the library. It also introduces Sci Fi adventures to the children. This book opens the door to many exciting adventures. The story is fast paced and easy to read. The pictures are fun to look at and tell the story as well. This author has a great view of what children like to read. I hope you take a chance with this author and her fun adventures.

I have read and listened to many books by this author and this one was heart wrenching and really made me rout for the main character. I really like how the author brings the character’s pasts into the story and is able to enrich it. I really have grown to really enjoy mC romances.
The characters are very realistic and grab the reader’s attention from the very beginning. I really like how there is a good mix of drama along with romance. I also like how there is not a straightforward road for that romance makes it more realistic. The drama is a perfect bit to the storyline. I look forward to reading more from this series and author
This is the first book in the Nora Sommer Caribbean Suspense series. We were introduced to Nora in the author’s previous books. I haven’t read though but it didn’t take away from my enjoyment of this story. This story is fast paced and full of twists and turns that keeps the reader guessing. I loved the plot and how Nora has to complete 4 stages to try and find the kidnapper. This additional challenge adds to the suspense of the story as there is no guarantee that Nora will succeed. There is so much at stake on Nora succeeding and finding this kidnapper. Nora has troubles and failures in her past which threaten to come to light during this already stressful time. With everyone watching her and the life of someone else on the line, can Nora rise to the challenge and bring her home safely or will the pressure get to much for her and jepodise her career and the life of the kidnappers victim.

Nora is a pretty strong and courageous woman. She had just moved to the Cayman Islands and started working with the PD. She got sucked into a bad case involving a vengeful husband that couldn’t handle his wife’s death. This book pulled me in right from the beginning with the action. I absolutely loved the feeling of suspense with it beginning with the professor’s death. That was breath holding, edge of the seat thrill. The action never stopped. It kept building throughout the whole story. Suspense, thrills and mystery made the book an absolute winner. The characters just made it feel even more real. A lot of badass in this book. I love a book with cops with attitude. Weak cops kill the story. The plot was perfect and didn’t have any choppiness. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this one. This was a new author to me and I’ll have to read more of his work.

I’m a huge fan of anything related to Vikings, so I was thrilled to start this book, which is the start of The Forerunner Saga. Finn, the main character is very young, but is quickly thrown into a different way of life once the Witch’s Curse is revealed. Honestly I’m not sure how he managed to grasp the idea of what was changing in his life, let alone live through it. He is a strong young man, full of courage, curiosity and obviously resilient.
This book engages the reader and I think young adults will enjoy it. You will find a lot of historical details mixed with a bit of fantasy. The author did a fantastic job with the writing and apparent research into Viking/Norse mythology. I cannot wait to read book number 2.

True and Lonny first cross paths in a bar and it’s meant to be a hot, no strings attached fling. Even though she can’t get him out of her mind, she never expects to see him again. A year later, Lonny ends up working for him and the chemistry is just as intense. Neither one of them is looking for a relationship but they keep finding themselves drawn to each other. They’re both going to have to face their demons if they want to make a relationship together work. I just couldn’t set this book down once I started reading it. I just had to find out what happened next. This book is full of heat, romance, and action and it definitely made me ready to go back and read the other books in this series!
