Conveniently Yours (Titans Of Manhattan BOOK 1) by Anise Storm – Review by Tracy Wilkin

Conveniently Yours (Titans Of Manhattan #1)Conveniently Yours by Anise Storm
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This story was very intense as well as sometimes frustrating. A classic tale of an arrogant alpha male that doesn’t want to be tied down, while wanting all the benefits that come with a marriage. I am always intrigued how they come to fall in love when their relationship begins as a convenience. Caspian and Paisley were a delight to read about. Immersing myself in this story was effortless and a real eye opener. Original and dramatic, their path to happiness was not all romance and roses. It was hard fought. As the best ones are. This was no exception. The emotional pull was alluring and arousing. A clever and masterful tale that will be hard to forget. 5 stars.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Like books or movies of this sort, you’re unsure if you can believe what these characters are asking of one another. Upon further reading, you realize that they’re in over their head or exactly what the other needs. I enjoyed the book but feel like there should have been more effort in Caspian making up with Paisley. This book was an enjoyable read nonetheless.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

While I have read a couple of stories by this author previously the synopsis on this novel had me incredibly intrigued before even reading the first page. Full of a billionaire romance, a marriage of convenience, emotions, drama, and so much more this book really had me on the edge of my seat. Not only does this author give us an incredible plot, but she gives us fantastic characters with interesting back stories. Caspian is a handsome billionaire that needs to find a wife, whole Paisley is a beautiful girl who is down on her luck and running out of options. What happens when their paths cross? What happens when emotions become involved? You’ll have to read this novel to find out for yourself.

Broken Chains by Karina Kantas.

When I read the blurb for this book I didn’t hesitate to grab a copy to dive into. It teased me with all the ingredients I look for in a dark romance. As dark romance is one of my favourite (sub) genres to read I am always on the look-out for more, and I have devoured more than my fair share of them. So, I was excited to find a new (to me) author to add to my collection. Not having read any of her work before, I wasn’t sure what to expect from one of her stories, but like I said, the story held the promise of being dark and delicious, so I lept into the story.
While I did like the story, I will be honest and say that unfortunately it didn’t live up to my expectations and didn’t quite deliver on the promise held in the synopsis, either, for me.
The beginning was slow to get going and then later when the pace did pick up, there were parts that still lagged/dragged. Then there were parts where the writing felt choppy or stilted, and some of the transitions from scene to scene, or character POV’s were quite abrupt. Again, this is just how I felt while reading it. I seem to be an exception to the rule, as I notice most other reader reviews for this story are quite glowing. But for me there were a few too many issues that pulled me out of the story and, quite frankly, left me a little disappointed. But maybe it is just me.
This is a dark romance with espionage, mafia, action, violence, brutality, dramatic moments, tension, and suspense. There are scenes that may trigger some readers, so be warned…

Happy reading!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This delightful, feel-good book was just what I needed to put me into the holiday spirit. The quick banter of the characters, from the very beginning made me smile. The author invoked the spirit of a good Hallmark movie onto the pages of this deliciously magical story. But don’t be confused this story line has some truly, steamy moments. The book made me smile and I kept reading to find out if things were too good to be true.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Strong start to a mafia series! Suspense, politics, a large cast of characters (both likeable and ones you love to hate), assasins, mafia princesses, arranged marriages, bodyguards…this book has so many aspects that keep you enthralled, and it’s put together beautifully by an author who knows how to keep you involved in her world. Lil is an excellent female protaganist, Max is a dominant alpha male, and this story is an enthralling trip through their relationship as it grows and changes. I’ll be reading more books by this author!

Blood Oath (Mafia Elite, book 2) by Amy McKinley – Review by Shea Gilkerson

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Book 2 keeps a great pace in the series. This time around the story centers on Enzo and Sofia…best friends, love interests, willing to stay away from each other to protect the other. This is it’s own stand alone novel, but I think it’s better if you read book 1, as there are a few familiar characters and connections that improve the overall experience.

This author offers characters with nice development, a robust backstory, plenty of intrigue and romance to keep you following. These books make for a pretty quick read, as they are hard to put down! Check out the series!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This story has started off with a bang!
Marriage of convenience is one of my favorite tropes, and this was another one of those amazing stories.
Caspian and Paisley were a sweet couple, and it took time for them to get that HEA, but they got there. Caspian is devoted to his work and in order to secure his CEO position must find a wife. In comes his childhood friend Paisley. What starts of light soon becomes pure fire, and they are quite the couple. Paisley becomes exactly what he needed and vice versa. This was a great book and great start to this series.

The series has come to and end and its very bittersweet. I feel so invested in all the characters and the journey until this point. Such a beautiful story and such an epic end to it all. If you have not read the first 3 then you must!!
Vanessa and her 3 Gods finally found their HEA, and it was dramatic, steamy, and worth every obstacle along the way. This has to be my favorite book of all.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This book strongly impacted me. Trigger warning for readers, there is kidnapping and torture along with sex. Knowing this, I still wanted to jump into the story. It is very dark, but I love Elizabeth Finley. She is a strong woman who gets back up every time she gets knocked down. She suffers through so much and giving up is just not in her.
I have come to really enjoy dark Mafia stories, reading about the stuff we know happens but stays hidden in the shadows. It amazes me some of the strong people that rise above the hardships that are encountered. It makes me want to be a stronger person.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Like the previous three books in this series this book was a perfect Greek mythology book to read this weekend. This final book to the series was packed with so much emotion, drama, steamy scenes and of course all of our favorite characters. While I was reading through this final novel I found myself thinking that there was no way that Vanessa and all of her friends stories could get wrapped up but boy was I wrong. The ending to this series is possibly one of the most perfectly ended stories I have ever read. But will Vanessa be able to aquire the box without the help of her three Gods? Will her God’s finally face their mothers? If they do will there be consequences for them and for Vanessa? You’ll have to read the book to find out for yourself.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I have been trying to branch out lately and read books that are very different than my typical go to genre of psychological thrillers. I am not a religious or particularly spiritual person, so I went into this book with very minimal background knowledge. Reading this book for me was purely out of interest, not necessarily to follow the practices. That all said it was very enjoyable! It’s fun to look into a different way of life and I assume those more knowledgeable than myself would find it to be a great read as well.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Caspian is given an ultimatum that threatens to take away everything he has worked for. Paisley is struggling and just can’t get ahead. The outcome is a story that I just couldn’t put down! At the start of this book, I thought this was going to be low plot, high smut, which has its time and place so I would not have been upset. I didn’t expect to feel so much for the main characters or their struggles. The story took a turn and tugged on some heart strings along the way. Definitely still a spicy book, but the love story makes it that much better! Will be keeping my eyes open for more from this author, no doubt.

Nikki is a nanny who is going thru some stuff Also. Everyone has a past but, not everyone can’t leave that stuff behind and start fresh.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Starting out, this book got me with the synapsis. I started reading and it drew me in even more. Getting to read about the Italian magic was interesting. Seeing the female lead going through struggles to what she thought was mental illness and turned out not to be was thrilling and amazing. I’m glad I gave this book a chance. The writing was done beautifully, and I could see the book playing in my mind. The story progressed at a well pace, it wasn’t too fast or too slow. The characters were relatable and I could connect with them. I suggest reading this book and giving it a chance! You won’t regret it!

Wow! This is my first book by this author and I loved it! If I could give it ten stars I would! She really knows how to build a world that makes you see every stunning detail in your mind’s eye. This story is told in first person POV but the intricacies of every character are well fleshed out. I read this book not once but twice, back to back because I wanted to absorb absolutely every single detail. Dahlia Nite is such a strong character and brings not only her world, but our world to life in a way not only leaves you wanting more but leaves you wanting to read it again just to take it all in. Full of fantasy, fun, wit, violence and intrigue you won’t regret giving yourself over to this urban fantasy tale!

I really enjoy books of this genre. Caspian is one of those alpha males that you love to hate. Usually, the alpha redeems his behavior but that didn’t really happen with this book. That is something different and I’m not completely sure how I feel about it. Especially since I loved Paisley so much. I would definitely read more by this author and would love to see where other storylines fall in this series.

Caspian and Paisley have known eachother since they were kids. Neither grew up in the best of ways, but Paisley always seemed to get along a tad better than Caspian until he was saved by his Uncle Preston. Fast forward many years later and Caspian is now a multimillionaire and Paisley is an up and coming artist who’s mother was in an accident and is now in a coma. A chance meeting and a stipulation in a will bring these two back together again in a marriage of convenience. Will it end in true love or is it destined to fail from the beginning?

Character angst can go either way for me but this was just so well written.
