Conveniently Yours (Titans Of Manhattan BOOK 1) by Anise Storm – Review by Rayne East
Conveniently Yours by Anise Storm
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
A wonderful romantic story
A little steamy and a lot of soul-searching. Paisley and Caspian’s story was very easy to dive into and I was very vested in their relationship. Caspian was a very alpha, dominant male who has had opportunities to create a better life for himself while Paisley has had to struggle all her life. I loved the backstory and also the multiple POVs as the added depth made me feel so much more connected. A solid story for romance lovers.
Drummer’s Beat (Satan’s Devils MC #2) AUDIO BOOK by Manda Mellett – Review by Piper Foster
I am total into the world of Satan’s Devils listening to it has been a new experience. The voice and audio are great I can see each of these characters come to life more than they already are with the addition of audio. Drummer I love to begin with he’s a softy at heart but a very tough man also. Sam voice is exactly how I imagined I my head.

Synopsis –
He needs to defeat his enemy to save the one person who matters.
Like Lazarus from the bible, Lazarus King rose from the dead, chose a new name, and with the help of his bastard brothers, they’ve all but taken down their father, the monster who’s destroyed so many lives, including his own. As the oldest, he’s duty-bound to finish what they started, what should’ve been done so many years ago, and now it’s time to strike the final blow.
But how can he catch a feral animal when it can’t be found?
On the verge of cornering his father, Oz finds his plans in disarray when the one person he can’t resist walks back into his life. Until now, he’s refused to acknowledge the attraction he feels for Doctor Sasha Landry, as love only makes a person weaker. Lazarus is sure he can separate his emotions from the job he needs to do and keep Sasha safe.
The experienced operative should have known better…
When Sasha’s life is threatened by the one person Lazarus should have protected her from, he realizes that the only way to defeat the enemy is to open himself to love and put his heart and life on the line. He can only pray they all make it out alive, and none of his family will become collateral damage along the way.

Broken Chains by Karina Kantas
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
I truly love dark mafia romance, and I always have to prepare myself for how dark It can get. This author is new to me, and I enjoyed the journey she took my imagination on. The suspense, action, drama, intrigue and overall intensity of the story was great. The twists continuously took you into the unknown.
We meet Liz and everything she goes through is unexpected, and it’s quite dark. She goes from her mundane existence to meeting Alex who is an MI5 Agent and from there she begins her spiraling descent into the unthinkable. Her curiosity leads her on some uncharted and dark roads. She endures the unthinkable time and time over, but her strength never wanes. It’s a question of will she break thru or be broken.

This book may cause triggers for it has extreme violence and sexual situations. I personally loved this book, the author made you feel what she felt. The way this book was wrote it was extremely hard to put down.
Liz is working her first assignment in the field when she gets abducted and put through the worst torture of her life.
Alex is in the organization she was spying on. Will he be the one that swoops in to save her or the one that is doing the torturing?
I highly recommend this book. Amazing page turner. Again this may cause some people triggers.

I have read some of the authors works and loved them. This story was no exception. It was a little slow to start but quickly became a book I couldn’t put down. Paisley and Caspian started out as childhood friends and both went their separate ways. They meet years later both leading separate very different lives. But once together they find something special.

Broken Chains by Karina Kantas
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Imagine wanting to write a book based loosely off a favorite show. Liz was watching a building, writing notes about people who were entering and exiting, making up stories about what they could be doing. She was aware that she was looking at MI5 headquarters, which was supposedly a location where her favorite crime series show filmed. Liz was incorrect, and little did she know that she was about to embark upon several life altering events in life.
MI5 was the headquarters of the Secret Services, and they pounced upon the writer. After reviewing files and her notes, supervising agent Alex takes special notice of Liz’s attention to details. He convinces her to go through training and become an agent. Liz’s first assignment leads her to Athens, and uniting with her estranged father. When she meets her father, she feels he is not being honest with her about details important to her case. After checking into a hotel, she learns that she is now on a hit list after Alex thwarts an assassination attempt on her life.
After recovering from injuries, Liz’s assignment is security detail at a banquet hall with Alex. The banquet is ambushed and Liz becomes separated from the main group. When she gains a view of the main area, she discovers her group is surrounded. Unsure of what to do, she suddenly hears a voice calling out her name to surrender. Liz knows the voice is sinister and belongs to someone she never thought would hurt her. What does Liz do, fight or surrender? This is a fast-paced 4 star novel that will keep you turning pages in discovery.

Cade by A.S. Roberts
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
A wonderfully dark, emotional, heart felt HEA! Every character is so detailed you feel like they are your friends. The author makes you care so much for everyone of her characters.
Cade and Winter both have reasons to fight their mounting attraction but will they realize that their love can heal all? The chemistry between these two is instant and is very spicy.
This epic continuation of the DD series is well worth the read and will keep you entertained until the last page!

Still Taking Chances by Roz Lee
18 AND OLDER!!!
This is the first book I’ve read by the author. The author knows how to get a reader’s attention and keep it. Still Taking Chances is a great read.
Elgin is back in town after 15 years. When he gets to the house he hasn’t been to in several years he sees someone in the yard. He soon learns her secret and is intrigued. The quote I chose for Elgin is: “The name is Hud, and, no, Mistress, I won’t touch you without permission.”
Mary Beth is shocked when she is told to get away from the house. She doesn’t think anyone will find out what she has hidden for the last five years. She learns that maybe she can help him out. The quote I chose for Mary Beth is: “I find that hard to believe. If you were going to spend your vacation time in Willowbrook, you would have been back to see your grandmother before now.”
Highly recommended for Erotica Romance lovers.

A romance where a girl next door meets the boy next door who becomes her hero as kids and later meet again when they are all grown up. They have experienced different worlds along the way but meet by accident when they needed each other the most. I loved the connection between Caspian & Paisley from the start. Although I’m not sure I would have agreed to the marriage if I were Paisley, I totally understood why she did. There are some interesting characters in the book and the story definitely kept my attention.

This book was hard to put down. There were some unexpected secrets revealed that I didn’t see coming. This story is full of danger, lies, action, and some great characters. There are some graphic scenes in this story which may be a trigger for some people. It was hard to read about everything Liz went through but at the same time I couldn’t look away because I became completely invested in her and rooting for her. I also found myself rooting for her Liz and Alex to take the next step. If you want to find out what happens between these two then you must read this. I look forward to reading more from this author. I recommend reading this book.

If there is anything holding you up on your decision to purchase and read these novels, don’t wait, don’t stall one more moment. Get them both right now and devour this duet right now. These novels are by far my favorite two romance reads this year. Like top five reads of 2021 you guys. Phillip and Kat were everything I didn’t know I was missing in the romance department of things in romance reads. I had hit a slump and was feeling a bit bummed with my reading and these suckers really pulled me from the darkness and just made my fervor for all things love and gooeyness, yeah I don’t care if that isn’t even a word, these two make me feel it, just explode all over again. I have all the plans to buy some friends these two for the holidays because I feel like what could be a better gift. The blend of fantasy fiction and romance is flawless and the addition of music is once again a strength of this author that I will never be able to get enough of. I can’t wait to see what we will get next!

Nite Fire: Flash Point by C. L. Schneider – Review by Amy Brennan
Flash Point by C.L. Schneider
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Dahlia Nite. She is everything one would hope for in a strong, heroine role. She has a snarky sense of humour, she’s strong, fierce, independent, and smart. Her weaknesses, of course, include the fact that she is an Empath, though, many would argue that’s a positive as well. It allows for her to feel all that needs to be felt, to power her through her ‘assignments’ and see right from wrong. The connections she builds with those who cross her path, and who need her, is admirable. Our lady is considered a ‘traitor’ in her homeland, and she has spent the last several decades trying to do right by the memories that haunt her and does a kick butt job at it too.
This novel was very unlike any other that I have read as of late and was much more involved. I found myself enthralled by the plot line, the twists and turns, and the way it has the reader falling into it, as though one was watching a movie. I think each and everyone of us has problems fitting into the ‘norm,’ whatever that may be, and want to know that we have someone looking out for us. Luckily for those within this novel, they have that in her. She clearly struggles with not feeling as though she fits into either the human world, or the Lyrriken world. Incredible story, characters, and world building. I will be reading more of the Nite Fire series and following our lovely heroine in her future endeavors. Well done!

What a sexy and gripping story from the start. Paisley and Caspian were childhood friends who haven’t seen each other in a very long time. Caspian is a billionaire and in need of finding a wife or he won’t get to keep his uncle’s company. Paisley is having a rough time she is caring for her sick mum and is practically broke and has no where to live. Can they be each others life lines? And maybe even realise that they are great together.

Whatever Tomorrow Brings by Amy Argent
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
This is the second book in the Embrace Tomorrow Series and wow its just as emotionally and captivating as the first one.
In this story we are back with Will and Tori. Will is still fighting Cancer and getting worse by the day. Even with his love for Tori isn’t enough to help him.
When he is given an option of treatment to help him maybe survive and beat this cancer Will jumps at the chance.
The road that is ahead of them both is painful and heartbreaking. There are moments when you feel like Will is going to give up and moments when Tori is so heartbroken she doesn’t know how she is going to be strong enough to get him through it.
Their journey for the life they want together is going to be hard and just when you think they are winning something else brings them down but through it all the love they share is unwavering and unconditional. It’s so beautiful to read.

I knew this book would be great when I picked it. It takes your on a rollercoaster of emotions, it is very dark, there is loads of sex, violence and mystery. I could not put it down but I found it was very quick I did not want it to end. I am hoping there will be a book 2 as it was left open for the possibility of more. This book is not for the faint hearted and would only recommend for 18+ as it may have triggers.

This book is such an emotional story. After reading the first book there was no way I wasn’t going to read this one too so I could find out how this journey would end. From the moment you start reading you are pulled straight back into the characters. This book is probably even more heart breaking and emotional that the first book. The whole way through I kept convincing myself I knew how the story would end only to change my mind a few moments later. The author has created such a lasting story that I think stays with you long after the Duet ends. This is a fantastic series that I would highly recommend.

Definitely an emotional read. Tissues are a must. I loved the first book in this duo and this picks up where the first one left off. As with the first book this one has all the feels to. This sweet tale is moving and gut wrenching. Your heart will ache and break and will pull on your heart strings. I recommend reading the books in order for the back ground and getting to know how they came to be. You will be utterly exhausted by the time you finish this journey.
It is a story of a man who had nothing to live for now he has someone to fight by his side. The only problem is there is no guarantee for tomorrow, there is only now and when you have that you hang on tight to that lifeline and hope like hell. It is a beautiful love story.

Diabolical Sword by Melissa Erin Jackson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
This is an original and wonderful Paranormal Urban Fantasy mystery story. The author’s narrative was fun and entertaining yet perilous and dangerous and with the great world building it drew me in. With lots of action and intrigue, mystery and magic, deceit and lies the story will have you totally engrossed. There is a cast of interesting characters and the story is unique. I loved the Heroines sense of self and worth and sassiness and I especially loved that the sword was a character and had a fiery spirit all of its own. There is a lot going on in the story but the author has pulled it all together nicely.
I am eager to read more in this series!

Mom, Is There a Santa Claus? by Susan J. Berger
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
This beautifully written story is full of Christmas magic. The illustrations are lovingly drawn. The story is one that all parents don’t look forward to having to face. This is a delightful tale for kids who are at that age to question the magic of the man behind the suit and the reality of Christmas. The author has done a wonderful job of answering this. It is about holding on to traditions and beliefs to help others retain that childhood magic of Christmas. You are never too old to believe in a magic and the spirit of Christmas.

This is a great BDSM novel that I really enjoyed reading. I had never read any of this author’s work before but I was very intrigued by the blurb and decided to give it a go. I’m very glad that I chose to read this as it was a really great read.
I have read a fair deal of BDSM books before but never one with a female Domme and a male sub, so this was very new for me. I have to say that I really did enjoy reading from this perspective. I’m glad that the book is told from dual POV as you get to see what’s going through both Mary Beth’s and Elgin’s minds.
I was totally engrossed in reading what was going through Elgin’s head as each scene with Mary Beth played out. It was very eye-opening and thought provoking. I’d definitely like to read more BDSM books with a female Domme and male sub in future.
Mary Beth and Elgin are great characters to read. Elgin has a lot of issues and it was amazing to read how Mary Beth taught him to deal with them. Mary Beth comes across as a sweet woman but she sure changes once she gets into scene. It’s like a totally different person.
If you like a good BDSM book then I’d definitely recommend reading this.

Although not my favourite genre, I do enjoy dark mafia romances. Since I had never read a book by this author, I was excited to start reading. Unfortunately, it didn’t meet my expectations. Maybe I set the bar too high because the other dark mafia books were excellent. I don’t know, this book fell flat. The storyline was good but the characters lacked depth which prevented me from connecting to them. This is especially important with the main character. Though I felt bad for everything that she went through, that was the extent of it.
Things were inconsistent and didn’t make sense throughout the book. She joins MI5 as a spy, obviously MI5 would have done multiple background checks on her yet never found out who her parents were? Alex her mentor thought she was a spy before she became one because she was unemotional while being interrogated. She then becomes an emotional wreck trying to commit suicide after being tortured (which is understandable). She goes through worse torture and physical torment yet is mentally stable afterwards as if life is a bed of roses. Doesn’t make sense. I might be judging too harsh because obviously many people enjoyed the book. Warning: advised for 18 years and older, very graphic and violent and may be a trigger for certain readers.

This is the second book in the Embrace Tomorrow Duet series by this author. Following the first book I knew that I had to read this one and I didn’t think I could love a book anymore, but I was wrong. The first book brought me tears of joy and this one continued that pattern for me. Of course, just as the first one was therapeutic so was this one. I love the authors writing. Her description of the story and journey that these characters are traveling on is wonderful. It’s honestly a roller coaster ride of emotions. I highly recommend this book as well as the previous book be read by every single adult. They are truly wonderful books related to death and the relationships of individuals in love and dealing with dying.
A Sweet Christmas: A Sweet Confections Novella by Nicole Richards – Review by Ashleigh Sherel-Kidd
Christmas Cookies on a Cruise Ship by Parker Fairchild
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
This story would make a perfect Hallmark movie.
Olivia books a cruise for Christmas to get her mind off of her cheating fiance (who cheated with her supermodel sister). Once on board, things take a fairytale turn and she finds herself dining with Mr. and Mrs. Clause, meeting the man of her dreams, and quickly descending into a sugary sweet Christmas happily-ever-after.
This book was not my usual read and felt like it needed some more editing. I found the pacing to be really unrealistic, but it is with Hallmark as well, so I suppose it’s par for the course!
If you like light Christmas romances that are void of anything dirty, this might be the read for you!
