Blood Oath (Mafia Elite, #2)Blood Oath by Amy McKinley
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I love Amy McKinley’s romance novels, but these Mafia Elite books from her are absolutely amazing and have quickly become one of my favorite series by her. I really love the way she has built suspense and drama with the romance and intrigue of the mafia world in a way that makes you crave it. That is truly the best way to describe it. I literally wait for these novels to hit my kindle like I am waiting for a fix and I love every moment that I get with the characters.

In Blood Oath we get the thrilling second story and the story of Enzo and Sofia. These two light up your kindle with passion and suspense.They have been stalking the line of danger and love since childhood and the story really is one you don’t want to miss. I loved every single second. I cannot wait to see what the next book will bring us!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Quote: “I will not fight fair on this. Things need to change, and this is how it begins.”

Review: This was a super fast read. Probably the shortest book I’ve ever read. It falls under the forbidden love trope. The 3 main characters are super likable. I liked the storyline- it was creative. There was a few twists in the story that I didn’t see coming (I’ll spare you spoilers for this quick read)! I would definitely read sequels.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The Groomsman by Marina Hanna is a brilliant contemporary romance. This book is all about the characters and the off the charts chemistry between them. You can feel it on every single page and it is unbelievably hot. The connection between Lauren and Mark is one of the strongest I have read about in a long time.
The book itself is quite a quick read and is one that you get really engrossed in. It is fun and romantic and everything you want in this type of story. This is a brilliant book that I would highly recommend.

Practically Pagan - An Alternative Guide to Magical LivingPractically Pagan – An Alternative Guide to Magical Living by Maria DeBlassie
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I can not express how happy and how much joy I felt as I read this book. I do choose to walk the path of being Pagan, and this book had wonderful excerpts of spells and magical things I could add to my way of life, so that was beautiful to me, and I found there was a lot of good neat things for me!

I find more than ever we need to find that spark or that magic in our daily lives. Before the pandemic I did and am Pagan. A book as this with ideas how to find those moments of magic were very enlightening to me, I am going to have to get a paper book copy of this to high light and mark pages for myself, as there was a lot of beneficial things in this beautiful book with a magical cover!

Besides the ideas and spells which I really wanna try them all out, I loved the author wrote her experiences to her way of life, living magical, and magically in life to the fullest each day. always found it interesting and breathtaking how people choose their path! Besides all that, I also enjoyed how its empathized (as I always try to live with my mind set) to live well within yourself! You matter and the earth and the elements are all around you, but no matter what kind of life you live, keeping yourself as well as your soul well is vital especially in todays world! This was a calming fulfilling book to read for me!

Again I am someone who walks the path of being magical. Sometimes life happens though and my energy is literally brought down, this book gave me wonderful reminders to why I walk my path, and extra and new ideas and such I can do to add to my days to make the magic bright and shiny as well. If your someone curious on magical living, or even like me who walks the path, I suggest you read this book! You may learn new things, and find these things are the sun you never knew you needed!

Check In by Debra Parmley begins with the reader meeting Len, an officer who was recently injured. He goes to a friend’s barbecue where he sees LeAnn, and the two fall head over heels for eachother. It is love at first sight for the two. Their relationship is easy going yet loving.
I liked watching these two characters develop. It was easy to relate with them. I think pretty much everyone can relate to some aspect of the characters or their lives. It is a quick read with a great storyline.

Luke (Default Distraction #4)Luke by A.S. Roberts
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I was extremely excited to see this arrive! I love all the others in the series. So I dug right in. I am glad the author saved Luke for last because his story was out (in previous books) and I was curious how she would spin it. I was and wasn’t disappointed. The bad first…It starts off slow until about Chapter 10. There are a lot of details that seemed more filler. Questions asked in conversation then two pages later an answer. In all honesty, I did skim over that stuff and went right to the answer.
I loved a lot about this story! The author does a great job recreating scenes in previous books but this time give us Luke’s perspective (That scene where they play in the hotel-is great). I enjoyed seeing more of Flint and Brie and the fun they have. The band members are also in here and I loved seeing their fun sides as well as their professional sides.

Overall I enjoyed Luke’s story, especially the Epilogue and the ending after that! A perfect ending to the series.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Valkyrie provides a short, but fully intriguing MM paranormal romance. This was my first introduction to the author and I am excited to read other novels by them! The story, while brief, is intertwined with beautiful details throughout. If it was fleshed out a bit more, I know I would have been re-reading it over and over. That said, I wasn’t able to put the book down and felt various emotions in connection to the characters, the setting, and the tension between what the society in this story deems “normal” or not. A beautiful connection at the end has made this a book I will remember!

A Spell of RowansA Spell of Rowans by Byrd Nash
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Wow! This book was amazing from start to finish, the writing was so easy to get hooked on and basically spending your time reading, not realizing all the time you are lost in this wonderful book. I was more than impressed with this book, the story was very captivating and a wicked good read! A must read!

I don’t even know where to start. When reading this I am sure you will fine the plots that all mesh into each other (eventually) will blow your mind. There were many different characters, but they were all connected. Each character was made differently and I found they all had their own sense of purpose. For what reasons they were, they had to find out on their own! The story immersed my body and soul, and the twists and turns really kept the interest high and strong! I was amaze throughout my entire reading!

For me the family drama, was very real and I found the toll at times emotional as real as it was. I felt I was right there with the kids, after what happened with their dear mother, they had things to figure out and things with in themselves. It was beautifully haunting the way it was written as well as things unfold and things come to light. I was sad when it ended, as I wanted to read more, and see what what else come come up or happen. The feels I had when reading were vivid and real, truly amazing read!

I had never read anything by this gifted author as of yet, and needless to say i am hooked for sure! The writing was more than fantastic, and there are no words that alone that can describe how impacting the story and all the corks and screws were within this novel. Experience this book and read it, and see the magic it will pour onto you. It is a book that is a must read, highly recommend with all my soul!

A children’s story of a pod of whales. Some of the whales are suffering from sickness, and as they are traveling to a new feeding area, they are attacked by a mob of sharks. The sharks push them into the shallows, where one by one, the whales beach themselves. Word of the beached pod of whales reaches the secret Isle of Cetacea. Here live the immortal children that had each been lost and rescued at sea by a special dolphin. The children all had their very own special powers and had the task of caring for the creatures of the sea. This book is filled with factual information interspersed with the story. I highly recommend this book for children.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I actually really enjoyed this, and I’m intrigued enough to want to pick up the next part of the series. This book is amazing! I didn’t even notice that it is 4 novellas in one, the story flows seamlessly and all together. This young fantasy reads quickly. It contains everything from, mild romance, a female lead, magic, an exciting story and it has multiple conflicts which keeps you reading. This is a story with a strong female lead. We follow Talise as she grows from a young 7-year-old child all the way to becoming a 17-year-old young woman. Talise comes from an area called The Storm, which is like the dower class. But she is determined to win the coveted title of Master Shaper so that she can escape poverty for good. Her powers are to shape the elements – Earth, Air, Fire, and Water. Aaden, another new student, is just as equal to her abilities, and so they are tested together for the right to stay in The Crown. These two gave the story life and it was fun and easy to read. Lots of twists and turns in this book that pulled me in and kept me hooked till the end. You don’t want to miss what happens in this story and to these amazing characters. This is a great story to pick up and I highly recommend it.

I loved this book so much. The story was so realistic and so very easy to dive into. Loved the plot as well as the characters, it was hooked, and certain pages certainly kept me nose dived into the book haha! I finished this book and could not get over how good it was, it was for sure a must read!

Is the rule of thumb not what happens at weddings stays at weddings? I think this was the plan for Lauren and Mark had, after a wedding they attended, and chemistry was sizzling and they had a heated night (trust me it was a good night for them) and were suppose to part ways, but when you get a taste of something that good how do you really walk away and never look back? I found through out this book and their times of steamy moments together, things keep coming up to push them away, but yet bring them back together. Lauren and Mark were so realistic, and even their personalities were as much!

I loved the plot how things start out as real as things can get, and two people who were vivid humans who keep going back for the one thing they said they did not want, and that was a relationship. As the story develops more, I found more things came to light between them both, and I seriously needed a good bowl of popcorn beside me for the anticipation! Seriously freaking loved this book, and the writing!

This was a first time author read for me, and I freaking loved how the author went about for the development of the story, it was more than well done, and it was amazing in every which way. I was blown away as well as immersed in the story and writing! Defiantly a high recommendation from me!

I loved the character and world-building in this book. The descriptions and feelings within the characters encountering any number of terrors and horrific otherworldly creatures were simply fascinating. Although slightly jarring to jump from story to story from different characters in different times and places in the world, the way they all piece together takes the reader on a journey not unlike the one the characters trying to decipher the Dread Praises find themselves on. It took me a bit longer to truly get hooked into the book than I would normally experience, but I also felt far more invested in the story by the time I finished. I’m truly looking forward to where the series leads next.

Caught in Midnight Shadows (Caught series, #4)Caught in Midnight Shadows by Sharleen Scott
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Caught in the Midnight Shadows is a great romantic suspense about Brant and Aubrey. Upon her mysterious death, Brant’s mom left him with her final words of “find him and make it right”. This sets Brant on his goal to find a mysterious drifter on the Oregon coast. Here is where he meets Aubrey and is immediately swept into her life. Aubrey has just lost her aunt and is set on leaving Oregon on a motorcycle ride not sure if she will ever return. These two are drawn to each other although they both know that this will be a temporary love affair. As they get closer, a stalker surfaces in Oregon that may be a part of the troubles from Brant’s Wyoming home.
This is a very fast read that pulls you in with the wonderful characters and well-crafted suspense. I was absorbed in the multiple layers that Sharleen Scott was able to weave into the plot. The family relationships in this book were also well portrayed and I really admire Ms. Scotts delivery in portraying this type of character. Highly recommend!

My rating: 3 of 5 stars

I usually love fantasy but am not really into horror so I was interested to see how the author added that to the genre. I think that darker aspect was done really well. However, this is more of a series of short stories related to a single event called the ‘Rupture’, which I didn’t realise going in and was very confused. Although I like short story collections, I found it difficult to connect with the characters and there wasn’t really enough about the Rupture itself to really learn any details about it. I also found the world-building almost too descriptive and I would have preferred much more dialogue and action. Having said all that, I did enjoy the writing and that seems promising for the rest of the trilogy. Overall, a unique dark fantasy read.

If only one of these young, hot, wealthy dominant males needed a mortgage and happened to have me as their loan processor.  But since that will never happen I will live vicariously by reading this series instead.  Now we have six of the guys who have found love and I hope we have several more.

I loved the back and forth between Nick and Allie and how they fought the attraction, well she more so than he.  Thankfully love won.

I cannot wait to see which one of the guys falls next and meet the woman who brings him to his knees.

Please, please, please let there be a next generation of this series.   I love these guys and I’m so not ready to say goodbye to Default Distraction.

I loved all of the guys but I think Luke may be my favorite.   Was it his back story?   Maybe  that has something to do with it but there was something about him that made me love him just a bit more than thenother guys.

Nikki is almost as amazing as Luke but for totally different reasons.   She had a who cares what people think attitude and it was a perfect fit with Luke and the boys.

I don’t know if I could gave enjoyed this book or series more than I did and I will keep my eye out for the kids stories one day. 🤞🤞🤞

I really enjoyed this short story. This author is definately one of my favourites and this book is brilliant. These stories are paranormal romances involved shifters. In this book it is a MM romance and they shift into vulture and jackel. The characters are really well written that you feel connected to their story from the beginning.

This is a really moving story and it takes the subject of death and deals with it in a respectful and beautiful manner. It is also a story about finding your mate when you least expect it and defending your love against all the odds.

This was a truly enjoyable romance. The story of CC and Reese requires some compassion and understanding because both have been hurt in the past. It makes them a little skittish when it comes to the possibility of another relationship. Starting right off with the accident that makes CC basically a “snow covered salt lick,” these two are testing each other out and seeing if they want to give in. CC loves Christmas. Reese has his reasons for feeling the way he does. But eventually, the two come together stronger. There adventures leave you chuckling and tearing up a bit. Come along and check this quick and easy Christmas read out. You’ll enjoy it as much as I did. Highly recommend.

• Luke is the fourth book in Default Distraction by A.S. Roberts and Holy Cow just when I didn’t think this series could get any better then Boom Luke’s story. I wish I could give this way more than five stars because this author definitely deserves it. I’m a huge fan of Rock Star Romances and this one definitely takes the cake. The characters are well developed and easy to fall in love with. I love them all and the way they all stand up for each other made my heart happy. This is Luke and Nikki’s story. She comes from a tight nit family and would do anything for them. She’s a Nanny who finds herself in need of a new job and finds herself in a interview with Luke who she’s had a major crush on since she was a teenager. She of course takes the job and finds that even though she is not a teenager she’s definitely attracted to him probably more than ever. Luke pretty much came from nothing and climbed his way up to the top. He really had issues with acceptance and letting go. He has it all ,a band with some pretty amazing men a beautiful daughter who is his everything and then in walks Nikki. Luke feels something with her he hasn’t in a long time but he feels a bit guilty in ways. Both of them are attracted to the other. Can these two have a relationship? Will she be enough to keep him and the job? I highly recommend reading this book to find out what happens next. I can’t wait to see what this author brings us next.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The action continues with Scott and Zelda in book 3 of the series. If you thought the first two were full of twists and turns, buckle up because this book has you in for a bumpy ride! I would highly recommend reading the first two books before attempting this one, as there is a lot of backstory that will add to the emotion of this one. Overall a very good addition to the series, though definitely not for the emotionally faint of heart!

If you enjoyed book 1, you will definitely enjoy this one as well! It continues with our favorite characters from Peaceful Slumber, Scott and Zelda, but follows new characters this time around. While you don’t have to read the first book to follow this one, it definitely adds to it. Like the first, there are many twists and turns that you won’t see coming! It’s another enjoyable read that I would highly recommend!

This book uses a somewhat common theme – the ability to communicate with and see the dead. However, it spins this theme into an unexpected romance, and it works better than you would think! I enjoyed this easy read, especially how the two characters, Scott and Zelda, developed throughout the books. Both had satisfying stories and character growth, and there were twists that I definitely didn’t expect! There were times that I thought the book was over and questions were being left unanswered, but all the loose ends were tied up by the end! I would definitely recommend this book!

I truly enjoyed Check Out by Debra Parmley. It felt like I was treating myself to read it.

Nash is an injured veteran suffering from PTSD from his time in the military – he is new in town, jaded, and mysterious. They are interested in one another, but Betsy thinks it is best to wait to get to know each other better while she awaits a visit from her younger sister, Leeann. Once her sister shows up with news she may have a stalker, we find the catalyst that draws Nash and Betsy to one another.

I’d like to see where the relationship between Nash and Betsy goes, as the book ends pretty abruptly. That being said, this was a good read with characters that drew me in and kept me interested. It is pretty quick to get through, and the author has a 2nd book in the series that extends into a story with Leeann after this ends. I will continue to read Debra Parmley!

Check InCheck In by Debra Parmley
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Check In offers suspense, romance, camaraderie, a POV of someone with some past trauma due to being in the military and the things he saw, and great pointers on what you need to pay attention to in the case of a crime being committed around you. The characters are likeable and relatable. I didn’t care for the implication that the robbers were not sober, but it wasn’t overtly stated.

Len and Leann offered a lot of input via their inner voices, which was a nice way to explain a lot of backstory and former trauma, why they react the way that they do, as well as show the ways they complement each other. This is a quick, easy read – can definitely put it away in one sitting. I enjoy Debra Parmley’s use of detail to draw you in, and am looking forward to seeing more from this author.

The Elements of the Crown (The Elements of Kamdaria, #1)The Elements of the Crown by Kay L. Moody
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

So at the beginning of the book I got Shadow and bone similarities. Which peaked my interest early on. The twist and turns in this book was great a few I kinda pieced together and some took me by surprise. It definitely dwent a bit differently than what I expected. I honestly thought the book was going to be about her mastering the elements becoming the best Master ever and that was it. Honestly it was so much better than that. The trials of war, family, courage, love, and wisdom in this book was astounding. I hope the rest of the series builds upon that. If you love fantasy books I highly recommend this series. You won’t be disappointed.
