Blood & Ravens (The Casket Girls Series Book 1) by A.D. Brazeau – Review by Crystal Jimmo

Blood & Ravens: A dark, paranormal romance (The Casket Girls Book 1)Blood & Ravens: A dark, paranormal romance by A.D. Brazeau
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

In the 17th century of New Orleans, nothing is as it seems. Greek Gods, and vampires oh my! Greer was used to living her life in Paris, until something happens and she finds herself as a casket girl, and drawn towards the mysterious Theron. She is very drawn to him and she doesn’t know why. Enter Hades. Lord of the underworld, and a very wrathful person. This author knows what they’re doing in this series. The writing is captivating, and the little bit of historical facts littered throughout the books, is amazing. I couldn’t simply put it down and found myself reading into the wee hours of the morning. I can’t wait to see what happens next!

I personally have limited knowledge if Greek mythology, and in saying that, I found this book a nice read! I enjoyed the story and like the characters a lot! It was easy to read, was easy to follow and definitely sparked an interest in Greek mythology for me! I enjoyed not knowing anything because I could enjoy the book for what it was and found it intriguing, exciting and a good romance all around!

5 out of 5 stars amazing paranormal romance. Never thought that Greer will fall for Theron. She knew something was wrong but no one believed her. She only wanted to save her friends but she had to sacrifice herself for them. Theron knew what lay ahead of him but he was tired of everything. Both never knew that love can exist in them.
The other did an amazing job here. It gave me chills in each part of their stories, going from one character to another.

Entertaining and enjoyable read. I have never read a M/M romance before and I got to say I loved the Greek Mythology written. I enjoyed getting to know Apollo and Hyacinth’s characters and “see” their romance blossom from hatred. The story is addictive and I look forward to reading the next installment.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I can’t get enough of this book! I am honestly so in love with everything I just read! Even though I was unable to put this book down, I didn’t want it to be over!

A Veil of Gods and Kings follows Apollo and Hyacinth as they are forced to learn how to live together. Due to Apollo’s stubbornness, he has found himself stuck with Hyacinth for the next year of his life. While the thought is grueling, he finds himself being mentored by him. Anything is better than descending right? As the story unfolds, we find ourselves on an emotional journey hoping for a love story that will leave us breathless.

When I saw a mythological retelling I knew I had to read it. I will be completely honest, I don’t know the original of this story. I am drawn to mythology retellings though. This one didn’t fail to disappoint me! This author was able to bring out every emotion while I read through this masterpiece. The story kept my interest the whole way. My only complaint about the book is that it’s over!

I absolutely recommend this book!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Apollo is the son of Zeus, destined to ascend to Mt. Olympus to become a god himself. But he isn’t ready to give up his mortal life just yet. When Zeus gives him an ultimatum to ascend right away or spend a year mentoring with Prince Hyacinth, which he chooses so he can stay on Earth longer.

I enjoyed the writing style of this book and the characters were well developed. The story line did seem a bit narrow and I think there could have been more to the story than the blossoming romance between Apollo and Hyacinth. That being said, I do think this was an entertaining read and would recommend it.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book is so beautifully written! The descriptions were so vibrantly authored that it made me think of Tolkien’s illustrative language. I really enjoyed the way the point of view alternated which let me as reader understand more characters. I also adored the realistic and genuine relationships and the way the characters interacted with each other. Learning the backstory of characters is so interesting to me, seeing why they react to different situations the way they do, because I have an understanding of who they are. This book is just fabulous and I highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys some modern fantasy!

This book was nothing like I expected. I went in blind because I did not want to make judgements, and I ended up loving this book! The author did the Gods and the multitude of drama plenty of justice and more.
Apollo and Prince Hyacinth were interesting together. Powerful men each trying to navigate what was thrown there way as well as adjusting to the mentee and mentor relationship. The way they were able to work together and the transition from enemies to lovers played out well. This story was a fun read, and I would read this author again.

A re-telling of the story about Apollo the Greek God and his lover Hyacinth. Greek God, or oh my God? This book was ok, but not really a steamy read. I so wish it had more in the romance department. It didn’t wow me, but it wasn’t all bad. You should give it a chance and see for yourself if you like it or not.

The True Purpose of Vines (The Winemakers #1) by Giovanna Siniscalchi

This is the first book I’ve read by the author. The True Purpose of Vines is a great read. If you like historical romance you’ll love this book. This is the first book in The Winemakers Series.

Griffin is there to buy the vineyard. He doesn’t expect a headstrong woman to deny him. Can they work together and make something come between them? The quote I chose for Griffin is: “A few weeks. I’m going to the high Douro. My late uncle’s Quinta is leaking more money than a drainpipe, and I will set it to rights.”

Julia is a headstrong woman. She doesn’t want to sell and she isn’t going to go down easily. Meeting Griffin throws a wrench in her plans. The quote I chose for Julia is: “Vesuvio wine is different. To compare it with the other Quintas is unfair, if not insulting. Some of our neighbors add elderberries to improve color. Some don’t even prune their grapevines. It’s all quantity for them.”

Highly recommended for Historical Romance lovers.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

You definitely have to have a general understanding of Greek Mythology and the God’s before you read this novel (otherwise I do not know that I would have understood it as well as I did). I feel like the author did a great job incorporating the characters and really getting into their personality in a relatively short book and I applaud the author for that. The detail was immaculate from the characters to the plot and the world building.

The reason I gave this four stars instead of five was because I struggled to dive into this book like I have with other Greek Mythology books in the past. Otherwise this novel would have definitely been a five star read for me. I also loved that it was a different take on Apollo; before he ascends. I do give the author creativity points for thinking outside of the box with this different point of view. I would recommend this novel to any romance and/or Mythology reader.

The Scent of GardeniasThe Scent of Gardenias by Lorraine Haas
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Margaret, a poor girl from the South has big dreams of becoming someone besides a replica of her mother laden down with children and being nothing but a wife and mother. She wants to experience life away from becoming what is expected of her and breaking the pattern. Can she, do it? What would you do in order to leave your parent’s house and become your own person? What sacrifices would you make for your family and children?
Such a wonderful character in Margaret. What a strong individual that endured so much and sacrificed just as much in order to succeed! The characters in this story are well written and easy to identify with. It was so easy to see me standing in the place of Margaret and living through the tough times that she did. The story was easy to read and just as fun. I was taken through a gambit of emotions and at the end felt very fulfilled with the choices and decisions made by the characters. I even felt a bit sorry for the father in the book. Great read. Pick up a copy and enjoy a break from your life by living through Margaret’s.

Shanghaied and depleted of vital lifeforce and dumped into a room with others like you who are awaiting the day of their wedding to men who paid for a wife, Greer is fuming but determined to make something out of her life besides living someone else’s script. The boat ride that she barely survived but remembers the dark shadow that came to her often. Is it love or is it lust? Is he real or just a figment of her dream state?
What a great read! The book had my attention from page one, and I could not put it down. The characters were so well developed and easily relatable to whether you agreed with their choices or not. The story just kept moving right along and now I am anxious for the next book in the series. What will happen to Greer and The Casket Girls next? I cannot wait to find out but first read this book!

I did not know what I was getting into when I choose this book. All I saw in the description is a world event that turned everything into chaos. Unlike other books where it’s about zombies or natural disasters destroying the world. It’s about the current time when COVID happened. At first, I felt indifferent because it is still going on and after a while, it becomes old news. Though this book brought a twist to the present which interested me and keep me reading.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Wow.. I do love when an author takes on the task of writing a “fractured Fairytale” or any new twist on a “known tale”. This is an amazing take on Apollo and the Greek Pantheon.
This is a re-telling that humanizes the Gods and paints them a bit differently than I’ve seen before. Apollo is the future Sun God, one he ascends, and we get to see him in a mortal form. He has serious parent issues, as you can imagine any child of Zeus would, and he’s jaded about life. We also meet his mortal sister Temi, who is a total Bad@$$!
Due to what Zeus perceives as Apollo’s many failings, he forces him to make a choice, ascend immediately or spend a year being mentored by the Prince Hyacinth. Since Apollo isn’t ready to give up his humanity yet he goes to stay with the Prince, and Temi goes with since she isn’t letting her brother give up or go alone.
We meet Prince Hyacinth in depth and his beautiful sister Princess Epiphany. Both of which aren’t what you expect. You also briefly meet their other brother. Our characters are a brilliant balance of strength and vulnerability. They jump off the pages and crawl into your heart.
With a beautifully written cast and world that feels like you can reach out and touch it, this story positively gleams with creativity. The imagery evoked is breathtaking and I can’t wait to read the next book.

The Wish-Eater by Claire Luana – Review by Jennifer Gordon

The Wish-EaterThe Wish-Eater by Claire Luana
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This fantasy romance had a fairytale feel to it, which held me captivated from start to finish. I liked the added folklore elements to the storyline, and I felt immersed in the world the author has created, due to the descriptive narrative. The suspense really built as the story went on, and the journey to find the mythical, wish-granting creature, which is shrouded in myth continued. I liked the main characters, Elodie and Sebastian, and really felt for them, especially Elodie and her wish to have a child and become a mother. Elodie’s desperation for a baby really came across in the story, and I felt as though I was there with her and Sebastian when they embarked on their dangerous quest to find the ‘Wish-Eater’. This was a heartwarming and at times heartbreaking story which dealt with a sensitive issue, in Elodie’s wish for a baby. An engaging read, which I recommend.

This book was so good. It was a fitting end for the series. Rowena’s journey had so many different paths it could have taken but I really like the path the author chose. I love the fact that at the end the reader finds that Rowena and Vincenzo do get a happy ending, although not in the way the reader might have anticipated. This author developed a dynamic world and story, I look forward to reading more from her.

Wow what an ending! I have really enjoyed this series and I am a bit sad to see it end but what an end. I like how the author was able to keep the action up and keep the reader’s attention. I really love vampire books and this was just what the doctor ordered. I really like how this book flowed from the previous and kept up the drama and story going. I just could not put this book down.

I love how the characters enhance one another and the chemistry keeps up from book 1 to book 5. I really like how it is character driven and how the ending really is an ending not really any loose ends or what ifs. I look forward to reading more from this author.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

When epidemiologist Joanie Fisher’s life is thrown into a rather terrifying knot of confusion, the last thing she expects is to come into an inheritance from her recently deceased grandfather. What’s even more unexpected is the streak of missing children that, oddly enough, is happening in the same town in which her grandfather just mysteriously died in. To make matters even worse, it seems what’s happening in the town may just be tied to research she had been doing before her lab burned down. When too many coincidences begin making more sense, Joanie must come to terms with a surprising truth… I enjoyed the more medical-based perspective on lycanthropy that showed in this book and found the premise of this series intriguing.

The title really says it all!: “A totally gripping thriller full of twists” and boy was it!! First of all- I loved the characters, they were so fleshed out, with Josie being my favorite. The story really was twisty and kept throwing me through a loop. I’m a big fan of mysteries, especially ones that I can’t figure out before the end, and this one did that for me! Being able to read Josie’s journal and seeing her inner thoughts through that medium made me feel more immersed and interested in the storyline. I HAD to finish this in one reading! I really enjoyed it and I can’t wait to read more by this author! One of my favorite reads this month for sure- if you love mysteries give this one a chance!!! (Also- having this take place during COVID just adds another element where you really feel involved- or at least I did!)

She’s just trying to figure out what it means to be human all while working in a garage with Snapper. He’s the kind of person who likes everyone or it was until he met her..

I really enjoyed this fantasy romance story. The author does a great job of mixing romance with fantasy. I really related to the part of the story of Elodie’s struggle to become a mother after going through this myself. The author handled this situation in a delicate moving way and Elodie’s story really connected with me.

Everyone wants things in their life that they can’t have. All Elodie wants is to become a mother, her marriage is an unlovable one and she feels a baby will help reconnect her and her husband but every year the baby doesn’t appear.

Sebastian also has a wish he wants and thats the love of Elodie. Obviously due to her circumstances that wish can’t be fulfilled.
However, when Elodie hears a story about a mythical creature called a Wish Eater Sebastian decides to join her on the quest to find it so that her wish to be a mother can come true.

As the pair go on their adventure of a creature that may not even exist they realise that the love they were trying to find could have been in front of them all along.

Lets just say this is a romance, cruising through rough waters. We never know what to expect in our day to day life. Vandana will experience something she never would have happened between her and her husband. With life crashing down on her. Vandana is offered a job of a lifetime. One that could change her journey as well as land a HEA. Morgan is a well known Yacht designer and knows what he wants and what he does not need. He has asked Vandana to go with him to Monaco and Genoa to help promote his yachts. That is all I am going to say about these two strong characters. This new to me author has really set the bar high with this romance. The story is fast paced and will keep you reading to the end. I loved this story and the adventure it unfolded. While this story is a romance, you will find it to be steamy as well as suspenseful. I Loved It!

This is the first book I’ve read by the author. A Veil of Gods and Kings is an amazing read. If you don’t like M/M Romance then this isn’t for you. This is the first book in the Apollo Ascending Series.

Apollo is a God who enjoys sex. It doesn’t matter if it’s with a male or female. When his father finds out he wants to prove a point with Apollo. Can Apollo find true love or will he be what his father wants? The quote I chose for Apollo is: “How generous of Zeus that he has the law that anyone can choose fruit that has fallen?”

Hyacinth has fallen for a God. He wants all of Apollo and isn’t sure how to get it. Can he survive the changes coming? The quote I chose for Hyacinth is: “I love you, just as you are, too. All of you. Let me see.”

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Phenomenal story line, captivating characters & explosive sex….doesn’t get any better than this!!

Bad boy Spencer Knox, escaped a violent past that he isn’t proud of & decided to setup shop in a small, Colorado town where everyone knows everyone. Each morning, Knox would see this beautiful girl, walking by the lake outside his secluded cabin, despite the freezing temperatures. Didn’t take Knox long to learn that his mysterious beauty was Josie Baird, a sweet, haunted, young girl who according to his busybody secretary Georgia, is in the middle of an ugly divorce. Josie is exhausted & destitute—working three jobs and living in a run down shack close to Knox by the lake, void of electricity or running water, using every penny she earns to pay her no good husband off so that he will sign the divorce papers and finally allow Josie to be free! When a family celebration takes Knox’s secretary out of town for a few weeks, Georgia decides to take matters into her own hands and offers Josie her position until she is able to return. The attraction between Knox & Josie is immediate and intense, however neither is in a position for an entanglement….BUT the sexual chemistry is just too much to ignore and before long they are enjoying and abusing each other’s bodies. Knox’s old pal Gage, from his previous life, shows up in town and is seeking a job. Knox hires Gage on at the shop, as well as takes him in as a house guest. When Knox realizes that Josie is living in a condemned shack, he also insists that she too come & stay at his place. Sparks sizzle between the three of them until they all give into their most wicked desires. It’s all promiscuous fun, until feelings develop and jealousy rages.

With a few twists and turns along the way, the relationship between Knox, Josie, & Gage sets the pages on fire. I was completely glued to my sit, unable to flip the pages fast enough, anxious to learn of the outcome. So captivated I was able to finish reading in just a few hours! I thought book one in the series was terrific. Hard to believe that author India Kells was able to surpass the excellence of the first book, but she did! Can not wait to dive into book 3 of the series, certain that Ms. Kells will be saving the best for last!

The Cruiser: A Millionaire Romance (The Hustlers Trilogy #1) by Rowan Rossler

This is the first book I’ve read by the author. The Cruiser is an amazing read. It’s the first book in The Hustlers Trilogy Series. The author is amazing.

Vandana is married, well she was until she found out that her husband was cheating on her. Now she’s picking up the pieces and is doing her PR job. Can a millionaire help her out? The quote I chose for Vandana is: “Because you’re brilliant in ways I’m not. Because together, we’re better. Go. And don’t you dare call me next week. I’ll handle Mr. de Rohan -Chabot all on my own.”

Morgan has millions and can’t find love. He doesn’t want someone who is after his money. He wants someone that can make their own, but still rely on him. The quote I chose for Morgan is: “Yes, I’d like your opinion. I’m thinking there might be more she can offer than PR. She’s an excellent people person. Curious about design. Perhaps she can assist in growing that division.”

Highly recommended for Contemporary Romance lovers.
