Wow! Karina has some jacked-up things going on in her life. Good thing she has friends like Rick at Silverthorne to help her. After having the FBI roust her apt and, tada, plant bugs after thinking her ex would contact her after “stealing 1.2 million dollars,” she starts on a big mystery to figure out what is going on. She unravels threads which lead her in this direction to that direction to some of the big deals in D.C. and the walls come down…over what? Can’t tell ya. You’ll have to read the book. I promise you won’t be disappointed. This was a ‘suck me in from the start’ and ‘I couldn’t put it down until the end’ book. So much action and characters that you really enjoy because they feel 3D and like they are part of the action. The whole story is so well done that it just flows smoothly together. That is so rare nowadays that it is a treat to get a story that runs like that. I highly recommend this one.

WOW, what a great book. I truly wasn’t expecting to enjoy this book quite like I did. In fact, initially when seeing the book cover I thought that it was going to be a kid’s story. It’s not at all. What I found was a very romantic cozy mystery with laughs galore. It turns out that this is the fifth book in a series, and I haven’t read any of the previous books. Let me just add that I do plan on it. However, I don’t think it would be a must to read them in order. This was a great book on its own and I was able to dig right into the characters and the story. It was a quick read for me as I finished it in one night. Then again, I couldn’t put it down so that could explain why. If you want laughs, romance, and suspense please pick this book up to read.

His mind is whirling as he thinks about this momentous news, he has seen Ted around the house a lot, with his eyebrows which are constantly on the move, a beard that looks more like it should be on the devil himself and black beady eyes which scream suspicious behaviour, but he thought it was just work related and as if that isn’t enough, she announces that he is coming to watch Rocky’s football game that day too. Rocky is stunned and upset by this turn of events and believes that one big life change is enough for one kid and he has already had that, so why has he got to have another one?

This is another fast paced mystery for all ages where suspicions are raised and secrets are all around, as events play out and things are uncertain for everyone involved.

What a fun read! Kind of a romantic comedy mixed with international heist. The chemistry between Max and Lucie is combustible. They do crack me up. I mean Max’s family needs to take a chill pill. Prophecy, schnophecy, pshaw, haha, what will that do, says Max. Lucie just goes along with what she thinks she is supposed to do and they have the adventure of a lifetime. They also have some steamy times on their adventures. As I mentioned, this is a quick read that is quite entertaining and a bit steamy in spots. You won’t be disappointed. It’s well-written and laid out. I’m looking forward to seeing how things are laid out for Max’s brothers. i’m hoping for more fun adventures down the road.

Royalty, Romance and Retribution. Wow! What a roller coaster of a ride. This book took awhile to build momentum and even then it dipped in spots. Now that the world, characters and premise is established I am looking forward to seeing where the story goes in book 2. I really liked Rowan and I know that she is going to be a force to be reckoned with after that cliffy.

Mahle and Elle Madison – Review by Rayne East
Book Reveiw: A Natural Passion Author: Tammy Mannersly Four Stars This story is slow to start. The main female character is torn between really liking two male characters. Kyra Shine is an intern at the Mon Repos Turtle Center. Dylan is her direct supervisor and mentor, he has lots of interest in Kyra and is trying to fight it. Several years her senior, he cannont get her off his mind. Jake Merchant is the son of the owner and founder of the Merchant Marine Science Center. The story is centered around the poaching of eggs from turtle nests. And Kyra being attracted to and pursued by both Dylan and Jake. This is a quick read, but real slow to start. KLH
The first thing that drew my attention was the cover. It’s beautiful and creepy at the same time. I hadn’t read a ghost story in a while so I decided to pick up this book. The concept of the story was interesting enough. Did I get creeped out or scared? No. Luci inherits Stormwood estate after her aunt dies. Her and her fiancé, Beckett, decide to head out there after signing the papers. Strange things happen. There is more to the estate then they both realized.
For the main characters, I liked Beckett but Luci got on my nerves. She was all over the place; hot, cold, happy and angry. It’s like I couldn’t keep up with her emotions. I feel like the story had a predetermined page limit. The author had an idea and rushed through the main points to fit it all in. I think that if the story had been longer, the author could have had a more intense build up which would have made the story scarier. There was no real climax because there was no build up. The story is good if you are looking for a fast read.

A Natural Passion By: Tammy Mannersly Genre:Romance Pages: 90
This book was not for me…. I did enjoy it though. If you are into marine life and turtles then great. Romance yes. A bit of an adventure within the story. I am big on series and this is a stand alone. It could use more depth but to be honest it is a quick and easy read. Light and entertaining. The story is catchy and enticing so I give it four stars. There is a bit of a sizzle in parts. If your trope is student and teacher then go for it! It is a quick and easy read that keeps you entertained.
Almost a year after waking to find himself in twentieth-century New York, fifth-century Celt Ciarán Donnelly has finally returned to his childhood home, but Ireland is nothing like he remembers it. The realization is overwhelming and taking a toll on his relationship with archaeologist Caitlin O’Connell as well. Keeping his secret from her has been no easy task. Due to some quick thinking on the part of her Uncle Mike, however, Ciarán has managed to conceal the fact that he and the Celt that mysteriously disappeared from a local museum the previous year are one in the same.
Ciarán intends on keeping it that way, at least for the time being. Right now, there is another more pressing issue. He longs to locate the grave of his fifth-century wife. Her only crime was daring to love him, a guardian of the goddess, and for that he can never forgive himself. Even more urgent, he needs to figure out a way to wake his brother, Aodhán, and free him from the Dublin museum, where he continues to exist in the same centuries’ long sleep Ciarán had. At least, Ciarán hopes he does.
Of course, things never go according to plan. When a serial killer starts stalking the countryside, Ciarán may be the only one who can stop him. To do so, however, he’ll need to risk his own life, as well as that of his brother, thus revealing his secret and exposing the truth. But can he even defeat such a ruthless monster? Only the Book of Carraig hold the answer, but first, Ciarán needs to find it.

She roams the waterways looking for the next generation of girls to baptize, filling them with more tears than any woman should have to hold. And there’s not much they can do about the Weeping Woman except to avoid walking along the riverbank at night and to try to keep their sadness in check. That’s what attracts her to them: the pain and heartache that gets passed down from one generation of women to the next. Mercy knows this, probably better than anyone. She lost her best friend to La Llorona and almost found a watery grave herself. But she survived. Only she didn’t come back quite right and she knows La Llorona won’t be satisfied until she drags the one soul that got away back to the bottom of the river. In a battle for her life, Mercy fights to break the chains of generational trauma and reclaim her soul free from ancestral hauntings by turning to the only things that she knows can save her: plant medicine, pulp books, and the promise of a love so strong not even La Llorona can stop it from happening. What unfolds is a stunning tale of one woman’s journey into magic, healing, and rebirth. CW: assault, domestic violence, racism, colorism

This book truly tugs at the heartstrings. How is it even possible that Book 3 in this series is even more amazing than the other 2??? Hazel Storm really outdid herself with part 3 of this series and has quickly become one of my very favorite authors. This book is both heart wrenching and absolutely heart-warmingly, hauntingly beautiful at the same time. My emotions were on a roller coaster the entire time and was one ride I did not want to get off of for even one second. Time absolutely flew when I started reading this book. There is a twist the likes of which I didn’t see coming and I absolutely adore! This book will stick with me for a very long time to come and I am absolutely counting the days down until the final part of this series is released. This one absolutely blew my mind and I cannot wait to see what the author has in store for the next one.

This book was so interesting! It was an amazing cross between Suspense and romance and it pulled me into the story and didn’t let me go until the very end. I enjoyed the main characters and the mysterious element that the story had. This was my first book by this author but it won’t be my last! I would definitely recommend this to anyone that likes a good mysterious suspenseful Romance! Happy Reading!

This book was a lot of fun! The amount of mystery, suspense, and romance rounded everything out perfectly. I have read a few of Ms. Burson’s books already, and her talent at captivating her readers and drawing them is amazing. In the story we meet Camille, and she’s just trying to take a brief time away from her hectic life. When she goes to her brothers summer home in Connecticut she gets more than she bargained for on what should be her brief hiatus. As a private investigator when a case comes around it’s hard to ignore and not jump in, and that’s what happens with Camille. When a woman goes missing her and her brother Zachary who is a cop team up and start their search. The brother and sister make quite a team with their skills as well as humorous banter. This book has many moments that are unpredictable, and the plot consistently twists and turns to keep you guessing. I can say my true favorite part of this book is Camille and Grant however. Who doesn’t love a little love and a mystery?

I cannot say enough good things about this book!!! How is it possible that Hazel Storm made this book even more amazing than the first in the series? She absolutely blew my mind with this one. It has a very Alice In Wonderland quality to it which I absolutely love and was not expecting at all! PK and Gargonita are both amazing new characters that are introduced and the heat between Vanessa and Grey is out of this world. There is so much symbolism woven throughout this book that just added to my enjoyment of it. Much like the first book in this series, this one pulls at all of the heartstrings, and all of the emotions and had me absolutely glued to it from page one! I am so ready to start the next book in this series and see what else the amazing author has in store for Vanessa.

What an amazing novel!! It captures your mind from the very beginning and keeps you in its grasp all the way through and for many hours afterwards. I was unaware this was a series so when I tried turning the page, on what looked like a new chapter on kindle, I was shocked, dismayed and instantly went looking for book 2. It’s not out yet so I have added it to my must have list. Rowan, Theo, and the rest of the characters have transformed the way romance stories usually happen. I loved all the plot twists and turns. The Princess’s plight at the end will leave you twiddling your thumbs and obsessed with watching the calendar until the next book is due out. Happy reading!!

After reading Professor Valentine by Diana Vale, I couldn’t wait to jump into her sequel (book 6 in the series) Forever Valentine. The continuation of Diego and Cassie’s story. I love what Diana Vale has done with their love affair. Starting out as advisor and student, to a story about twin flames/love. The way Diana Vale develops her characters is done beautifully. The digging deeper into Diego and Cassie’s love is memorizing. With a wonderful supporting cast of minor characters throughout, Diego and Cassie have the love everyone wants. the undying and unyielding kind. I also the way the characters were able to persevere with all the obstacles presented to them, to test their love to the ultimate limit. I look forward to reading other books written by Diana Vale in the future!

Gone Country by Katrina Marie is a cute and sweet small town love story. I do enjoy how Katrina brought her characters to life. Stella, a workaholic, has been given the opportunity to go to the small town of Asheville TX to get the new company distribution center up and running. I enjoy Stella’s independence when it comes to her job, but outside of work her codependency on her cousins Audrey and Tiffany is disappointing. As the story moves on we witness her growth in independence outside the workplace. As someone who is all about one’s independence it brought a smile to my face reading through her journey. Then there’s Johnny, a tall dark and small town man handsome. He not only helps Stella in her disaster on arrival, but he has his own demons to deal with when it comes to intimate relationships. Being scorned by his high school sweetheart he reminded me of a lot of people in this world who have insecurity issues but want to put that behind them and move on. Though never an easy task. I loved the sweetness of this story as well as the growth of Stella and Johnny, not only individually but also together. The way Katrina Marie presents her character development, I will definitely be looking into more of her books in the near future!

This was the first novel I’ve read by Linda Burson, but it certainly won’t be the last! I love the way she writes. The characters are all so well fleshed out and I enjoyed getting to know all of them. Typically I’m not a fan of much romance, but she made it work very well. I will definitely be reading more of her work!

This book was literally captivating. A serial killer also known as a psychopath dad passed on to his daughter. It questions whether she grew up this way because what she witnessed or how she was raised. Or the combination of the two.

The Bow was a great read! This book was interesting, entertaining and enthralling. It felt like a really quick read as well. There were so many steamy scenes, that is definitely an 18+ read. I still can’t tell which book so far has been my favorite, but I enjoyed this one much more than the second one so far. I absolutely love the world and characters that Hazel Storm has created in this series. I can’t wait to read the next installment!

Wow! Stormwood is hauntingly scary, and I couldn’t put it down! Such character building and story telling all rolled into a neat, almost sorrowfully short, book. Luna Mayfield uses romance to spice up this paranormal tale, but the haunting elements remain the focal point. Mayfield also includes a little familial history along the way. Intriguing and original, I recommend Stormwood to those brave enough to weather the chills and goosebumps. I can’t wait to see what other tales Luna Mayfield spins.

Easy-going, lighthearted read! Gone Country by Katrina Marie is a sweet, east read romance!
Stella is a city girl who picks up and loves to the country for a job and meets country boy Johnny! Though they are from two different worlds, the collision of their worlds into this romance was sweet and fun —and funny! I found myself laughing out loud during parts and enjoyed getting to know the characters.
Katrina Marie has a comfortable, easy-to-read writing style and this book entertained me and was a pretty fast read! I’ll look out for more by this author.

Stormwood by Luna Mayfield is a great paranormal romance, but it will give you a definitely creepy vibe, and maybe even some goose bumps. There are so many twists and turns you can’t even begin to predict what will happen next. The characters are wonderful, the plot intriguing, and the over all story left me looking for my by Ms. Mayfield. The characters are very relatable and help draw the reader in from the very beginning, but much like the main character in this story once your drawn in will you be able to get out? You’ll have to read Stormwood by Luna Mayfield to find out for yourself.

Sweet contemporary romance with a little bit of mystery that I definitely enjoyed reading. The romance in the story involves 2 men that vie for Kyra’s affections. Dylan is a marine biologist and also I love how he was devoted to preserving the turtle nests at the beach and more mature. Jake, whom is the son of Dylan’s boss, is a bit more irresponsible. At first, Kyra’s attraction to Jake was undeniable, but she also feels more sparks with Dylan. The bit of mystery that happens is whom is raiding the turtle nests at the beach and taking the eggs for their own greed. I really loved this story and how it flowed all together. I loved this sweet romance.
