Grumbler’s Ride (Satan’s Devils MC San Diego #2) by Manda Mellett – Review by Stephanie Nicole

Grumbler's Ride (Satan's Devils MC San Diego #2)Grumbler’s Ride by Manda Mellett
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Grumbler’s Ride is the second chapter in the Satan’s Devils MC San Diego series, personally I enjoyed this second chapter even more then I enjoyed the first. I love that Ms. Mellett is writing more mature characters. The fact that she writes more mature characters gives the story a different take then if her characters where in their mid thirties. While this series has some scenes that could trigger some people it is still well worth the read. Ms. Mellett is slowly becoming one of my favorite authors she always seems to tackle sensitive subjects and handles them with immense care. The care she provides in her writing makes her books flow well and her series come together beautifully.

Chatroom With A View by Glenn Maynard – Review by Chrissy Spulak

Chatroom With A ViewChatroom With A View by Glenn Maynard
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Chatroom with a View is the first book I’ve picked up by author Glenn Maynard. It is a mile-a-minute read that will instantly intrigue any true crime fans. I grew up fascinated with the story of Lizzie Borden, and it hooked me from the start. I did not need much time to finish this book because I really could not bear to put it down. I’m really into psychology and the reasons behind why people do the things they do; reading about each character, their thoughts, and their actions was so interesting to me because they’re all unique and really complex. The author’s writing is so twisty and turny that it almost makes you dizzy (but in a GOOD way). No spoilers, but the ending fell just a little flat for me – I walked away feeling just a tad underwhelmed, but overall, I have to give this book 4 stars and my recommendation.

Beginnings and Endings: A Selection of Short Stories by Jane Suen – Review by Erica Shoebridge

Beginnings and Endings: A Selection of Short StoriesBeginnings and Endings: A Selection of Short Stories by Jane Suen
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Suen’s short stories of beginnings and endings is an interesting little collection. I really liked the characters, especially in the first two, and felt that she gave them a lot of depth and intrigue in the few pages they had. Emotionally, they were powerful as well: the characters each being on the precipice of a major event in their lives. I could feel the shape of their hearts, if that makes sense. There was a quality of the unfinished for me in these however; they seemed like a well-written first chapter to a novel I’d love to read. The effect left me hanging, wondering if that was really the end. The third story used the setting and plot to a much greater degree than the first two. There are more description of vistas and more happenings in general in this last one. I found this one most powerful as a result. It was well-crafted and poignant. All in all, these are worth a read, and I think Suen turned them out well.

Being Lost (Satan’s Devils MC San Diego #1) by Manda Mellett – Review by Stephanie nicole

Being Lost (Satan's Devils MC San Diego #1)Being Lost by Manda Mellett
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I have read a few of Manda Mellett’s series but I have to say that the San Diego chapters are some of the best by far. Being Lost was such a good start, I couldn’t put it down. It was such any easy read for me kind of like pulling out my favorite jean jacket in the fall, or watching a rain storm in the fall, it was calming and relaxing with just the right amount of edge. As usual Ms. Mellett’s characters are wonderful, her scenery descriptive, and her story line intriguing. So if your looking for a great series to read I highly recommend Ms. Mellett’s San Diego chapters.

The Myder Bird Tattoo by Julia Colbourn – Review by Roxsanne Lesieur.

The Myder Bird TattooThe Myder Bird Tattoo by Julia Colbourn
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The Ellisians are a race who value the females in their society, they have a matriarchal hierarchy and the boys are rushed away from their mothers immediately after birth as they have no value to them and grow up to serve in the military as Brethren, even the baby girls are nursed by the Cadian’s. The Cadians are another race whom the Ellisians believe are beneath them, they live in clans outside the palace walls and only the females are brought within to do the menial tasks the Ellisians believe are below them. Both of the races have their own values to society, the Cadians are broad shouldered and hard workers, but they are subdued by a force the Ellisians control called the Negaforce, it is an innate ability which is more prevalent in the females than males which is another reason they are discarded to the sidelines.

Within the royal line, there are many females within the palace walls, although a new queen can only be selected upon the birth of another female to one of the royal line, however, these children can be as different as any normal family, but one is more different than the rest. The youngest daughter of the queen is unlike her siblings, she prefers the outdoors, has a quiet temperament and keeps to herself, while her elder sister is paranoid and full of cruelty and malice. One day the youngest daughter is sent on a trip to visit a neighbouring town where she spends time when not studying in the palace, on her way back, she is attacked and this starts a chain of events in this young Ellisian’s life. She escapes from one danger into another, where she is rescued and learns things about herself she never suspected, but what she finds out later is that the Queen, her mother is dead and her sister barely escaped her own demise, but this has meant that she is now in charge and is a leader with more bloodlust than even those before her.

As this young Ellisian learns about her past, present and future, she makes a decision which will affect not only her life, but that of those around her, but will the decisions she makes be for the good of all, or will she be unable to conquer her fears and lead those who need it to make the realm a better place? This is a fast paced adventure in a fantasy land where secrets abound and nothing is as it seems in a small realm with big problems which pulls you along the current of the unfolding events until their conclusion.

Georgia Clay (Southern Promises Book 1) by KG Fletcher – Review by Jennifer Gordon

Georgia Clay (Southern Promises, #1)Georgia Clay by K.G. Fletcher
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I thoroughly enjoyed this entertaining and engaging second chance at love romance and thought it was a great first book in a new series, ‘Southern Promises’. Georgia Clay an award winning songwriter is well known in Nashville and meets up with his high school crush, workaholic Southern beauty Katie Parker at their ten year high school reunion. Old feelings resurface and the couple spend until the early hours talking in Clay’s pickup truck. The pair then start a long distance relationship but Clay has never admitted to Katie that he fell in love with her years ago. Clay has never stepped into the spotlight himself despite his incredible talent as he’s worried that his debilitating childhood secret will be revealed. Meanwhile, Katie is a cut throat workaholic who is skilled in the insurance business.

When the musician and the career woman meet again their chemistry sizzles off the page leading to some steamy moments. Hopefully Katie’s love will ensure that Clay takes a chance both on love and on his career. The main characters were very likeable and relatable and the secondary characters were intriguing so I’m hoping they will get stories of their own. The setting was bought to life by the descriptive narrative and the storyline flowed well making it an easy read. The plot kept me happily turning the pages and I was hooked from page one. I look forward to reading further books in this series.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Ah yes, Grumbler, so set in his ways. I loved his character in this book, even if he is a little rough around the edges. We meet Grumbler when he meets a photographer whom wants to take pictures of his bike, and a monetary deal is made. Needless to say, that photographer is not what he seems to be, conning Grumbler of what is due. Mary and Alicia come into the picture and my heart! Mary lost her husband and trying to raise a 17 year old daughter on her own. Alicia is in a situation and Mary tries to be there for her daughter, something is not right and Mary senses it. Grumbler is there for both Mary and Alicia. Some twists and turns in this book (don’t want to give away to much), but at the end there is love between Grumbler and Mary. I love them together.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Least Likely Suspect: Revenge Cooper McKenzie is a fantastic and unique story. When I first picked up this book I really didn’t know what to expect. I found this book to be suspenseful, thrilling and emotional from start to finish. I never really felt like I had a handle on where the story was going which made it all the more interesting to read. I couldn’t help but feel completely invested in the main character and her journey. It was so heartbreaking and so strong.
This is the first book that I have read by this author and it was a brilliant introduction. I am looking forward to reading the next book by this author.

Lines by Leon is a wonderful collection of poems, stories, and pictures. Some of the works that spoke to me include “Smile”, “Life”, “Book Cover”, “Addiction”, “Moments”, and “The Bookstore”. These speak to me at this time in my life as they are about books, living alone, moments that have passed, and how addiction affects a person.

Here is a sample of “Time and Time Again”:
Time passes
Only when you impose a starting point
Removing that restriction
Allows for things to just…

Take time out of your novels and read a poem or a short story. You will be amazed as I was at how these short works will grab your heart.

Fairies, motorcycles, MC clubs, what do you get? An action packed story that is one of a kind and the best story in the fantasy realm I’ve read. I love fae and MC stories. Lance is half-human, half-fae and the head of Wild Hunt MC club. The adventures are wild and crazy starting with his old lady, Suzanne, disappearing to assassination attempts by family members. The emotions will flow all over the chart as you read the story. Wonderfully written characters that are not all tutu and wands. The struggles are real. Watch out for the road gremlins as you’re reading….

The Halfling’s Court by Danielle Ackley-McPhail is the first book in the A Bad-Ass Faerie series. This is an interesting mix of Fae and MC genres, in a way that I don’t think I have seen done before. The author has taken the best elements in each and combined them into a great and exciting story. It is an action packed story the whole way through.
The author has created relatable and engaging characters inside a world that feels new. Each book this author seems to write is completely different from her last and you never know what you are going to get. For me this makes not just the books exciting but the author as well. I though this was a strong start to a new series and I am looking forward to the next book.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is a new author for me, but I can’t wait to read what other stories that she has. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book. In fact, I will be recommending this book to my friends and even gifting it to family for the holidays this year because I believe this should be read and enjoyed by everyone. I love how she wrote the book from the perspectives of the individuals from each generation represented. This was something I don’t believe I have ever read before, but it was PHENOMENAL! This book was not quite what I expected it to be, but I was captivated from the beginning and couldn’t put it down. I didn’t want to put it down. In fact, I didn’t want it to end. I loved how she provided a history lesson through the eyes of these characters. Please pick this book up and read it. I promise you will not be disappointed in it.

Manifested Dreams by Dr. Yvonne Johnson. I have never read anything by this author but this was a very interesting read. It’s a very emotional read and it will keep you turning pages until you are done. Its written almost in a journal form but it really keeps your interest. Its basically the story of a family’s journey from slavery to freedom and more. Its during the Post Civil War, Martin Luther King and even to seeing Obama become the 1st African American President. It tells of how the South even to this day still has racism, not nearly as bad but it is still there. The story also tells us that it isn’t just in the South that there is racism but everywhere in all walks of life! This is a super short read but it holds a lot of information and its very emotional as well. Do yourself a favor and read this awesome book.

This is a very quick read as the stories are short. You could probably sit down and finish this book within 30 minutes. Maybe less depending on how fast of a reader you are. I enjoyed reading each one of them however there were a couple that kind of left me thinking that there needed to be more. A couple of them were fantastic and I would have loved for the author to have continued them. Out of all the short stories, “The End of Summer” was my favorite of them all and I wasn’t quite expecting it to turn out as it did. It really choked me up and brought tears to my eyes. I was concerned when I realized how few pages there were in the book but was thoroughly pleased with the stories.

I can’t believe this one also ended in a cliffhanger!!!!! The book is well written and I enjoyed learning about Wren’s life. I just wanted to wrap him in a hug!

The Myder Bird TattooThe Myder Bird Tattoo by Julia Colbourn
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

 

 

 

The Myder Bird Tattoo by Julia Colbourn is a fantastic fantasy- an engrossing story that has a bit of a dystopian feel, with inter-racial tensions, politics, power plays, discrimination, assassination, drama, dark elements, tension, and lots more.
This is such an original story that really leaps off the page- Julia Colbourn’s world building really brought everything to life. I liked that there was more to the story, and characters, than I first expected. It’s great when a story can take me places I wasn’t expecting.
This isn’t a light and fluffy fantasy by any means- there is a deeper, darker current flowing through which gives the story a raw and gritty feel in places, which in turn added to the overall feel of the book.
This may have been my first book by Julia Colbourn, but it definitely won’t be my last. I will definitely be on the lookout for more of her stories in the future.

Thank you, Julia Colbourn!

Lake of Flowers (Lord Hani #5)Lake of Flowers by N.L. Holmes
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is the 5th book in The Lord Hani Mysteries Series. I’ve loved these book from the very first one. Each one is captivating and the author does an amazing job of transporting you back to Ancient Egyptian times. The author’s knowledge of Ancient Egypt, the relationships between the people and their gods and how they all link together is what really makes this story come alive for me. I love anything to do with Ancient Egypt and the detail and how accurate the author is really makes these books stand out for me.

Lord Hani is back and things are changing fast. Lord Hani is hired to find out who is behind the thefts  that are happening in from the Royal household. However these aren’t normal thefts and could be connected to an attempt on the King’s life.

At the same time there are revolutionaries who are looking to restore things to the way they were. As they grow in number Hani finds himself draw towards them and treads a fine line between serving his King and plotting against him.

It is a step back into a complicated time where things aren’t always what they seem and there are always more secrets and lies than first expected.

Such a charming story about a young woman finding her way in love and her career. The main character, Chelsea, is endearing but self deprecating and needs to be reminded of her value. We all need that in life once in a while. Her lack of self esteem leads her to pick men that are not ideal. Her roommate and brother’s best mate offers to show her what a relationship with a nice guy looks like. A great read that will keep you enchanted for the duration. Loved it!

Unlikely in Love (A Parker Lake Novel Book 1)Unlikely in Love by Olivia Sherwood
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Unlikely In Love (A Parker Lake Novel Book 1) by Olivia Sherwood is a sweet romance that is about two people meeting and maybe finding love where it was never expected. This is not my first book by this author but I know what I am getting when I pick up one of her books. I know that I am getting an adventure that I won’t be able to put down. I love her writing style and her creation of characters. Her characters are true to life and connectable. They will pull you into their world and make you feel like you are right there with them. You will get pulled in from the first word until the last. Find out what happens to these characters as they form a bond and friendship that may last a lifetime.

Annabelle Cleaver finds herself sitting in a lawyers office listening to the last will and testament of the only relative she ever really loved. She has been stuck in a small town in Oklahoma and is confused as to what comes next. What will happen when her high school crush moves back to town? On top of coming back, he asks for a job on her farm. How complicated will her simple life get?

Wyatt Holloway is returning from three tours overseas a broken man. He has demons that haunt him night and day. What will happen when he realizes that the girl from high school needs help on her farm? He does the only thing he can think of, asks for a job. He seems to be drawn to her but she has always held his interest.

Annabelle and Wyatt’s relationship is one that starts out as employee-employer but turns into something more. They know each other from high school but the funny thing is that neither one know each others feelings for each other back then. Now, will they figure it out? Will they find love despite the odds going against them? You will fall in love with these characters. They really do complement each other, they are just so good together. You will find yourself hoping that they will figure out how to get their HEA. He is just so broken, will she heal him? He is sweet, charming, smart and independent despite how broken inside he is. She is sweet, smart and compassionate and saddened by the death of her beloved grandmother. Their banter back and forth is funny, funny and keeps the story flowing. There were parts in this story that I just wanted to say, wake up and see what is right in front of you. Will they realize just how deep their feelings really go? You will need to read this story to get the whole feeling of just how sweet this story is. Find out what happens with Annabelle and Wyatt, will they find their HEA?

I loved Olivia Sherwood’s last series and I love the start of this one. I can’t wait to read more from this series. Ashlie is a small town mom who lives in Oklahoma and loves to write. She love to buy books knowing that it will leave her smiling at the end. When she is not writing you can find her watching the Food Network, Netflix or HGTV. She also loves to spend time with her daughter and son. Once again, she has brought her characters to life on this page and make them pop right off the page. I read this book in one sitting and totally lost track of time while reading this book. I highly recommend this story as I know you will want to see the start of this author’s new series and also what happens to Annabelle and Wyatt.

Caim (Antipodes #4)Caim by T.S. Simons
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Book 4 in the Antipodes series just might be my favorite so far. Finally settling into a peaceful life, Cam and Freyja vow to never leave the sanctuary of the dome again. But when people from their past bring devastating news, Frey just can’t resist venturing out one more time in search of answers.
This series dives deep into the fact that no matter what, even in what is supposed to be an almost perfect world, people still struggle. Loss, tragedy, heartbreak, all affect those on Lewis.
Caim is a fantastic novel. This book takes the reader down a darker turn than the previous books and I loved it. The characters are amazing, and their joy, heartache, and love are felt by the reader through and through. The final twist at the end of the book left me wanting more. I can hardly wait to read book 5.

Cadence is quiet and Fitz is a bad boy she shouldn’t have fallen for.  What will fate have in store for these two?  I highly recommend listening to this audible to find out.  You don’t want to miss this first story in this series.

They are stories of an African American family and will show you that racism is real and it happens all over the world and not just in your area. The characters will pull at your heart strings and felt as if you were right there with them. They are connectable and strong to go through what some of them have. I really enjoyed this book and how it brought the issue of racism to life. I highly recommend this book.

Captured by the ViscountCaptured by the Viscount by Wareeze Woodson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Captured by the Viscount by Wareeze Woodson captured my attention from the moment I was introduced to the main characters, Isabel and Matt. Isabel is a sweet woman who was trying to set things right and escape a terrible situation in her life, but was interrupted in doing so due to Matt pointing a gun at her heart. Isabel is given a choice to either marry Matt for stealing or goal.
From that moment on, the author makes us question what will happen next. I kept thinking I knew what would happen next, but was thrown for a loop! I felt the characters’ fears, love, sadness and anger. I was unable to stop reading because I wanted to find out what would happen next.
The only thing I disliked about this book was the fact that some scenes in the book didn’t give enough detail for me to clearly feel like I was in the book witnessing it. All in all, I would read this book again.

Unlikely in Love is the first book in the series A Parker Lake Novel by Olivia Sherwood. This is the fifth book I have read by Olivia and she never disappoints. I absolutely love Olivia’s writing style, it is a beautiful and easy read that you will love from the first word to the last. The chemistry between the characters was wonderful and honest and I found myself laughing out loud at their easy and sweet banter and when times were tough I found myself tearing up. Olivia has the knack to keep you engaged from the start and you will find yourself at the end before you are willing to let go.

Annabelle Cleaver is dealing with the loss of the one person who loved her, when her high school crush walks into her life. With her besties by her side Annabelle is sure to never go under. Wyatt Holloway has come home a broken man who is trying to find himself again after serving three tours with the army. When he sees the beautiful girl from his past she may just be the one thing he needs.

The friendship between Annabelle and her besties had me laughing out loud and found it totally relatable. I truly can’t wait to read the next book in the series. Olivia is one author you need to add to your reading list.
