THE DEVOTED FANTHE DEVOTED FAN by Pamela DuMond
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I give THE DEVOTED FAN (21st Century Courtesan Book 5) by P.S. Dumond, 4 stars.

This is a great conclusion to an incredible series. Each book has shown the evolution of these characters and this one shows us just how far they have come. To me, this book is more about the suspense angle of things, but there is definitely romance going on too. For the most part, we know what is going on, but the characters don’t. This leads to wanting to shout at the characters and tell them, No! This adds to the suspense. But that is not all, here are some twists happening that even surprise the reader.

In my opinion, the previous books should be read first so you have an understanding of everything. If you are a fan of spicy romance with suspense, this book and series are for you.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Honestly I love everything this author writes! But with this one, well its different in a way that shes never written a story. It had the mystery to it and I had a hunch and dismissed it quickly and I shouldnt have, that takes a good author to steer you so close then away to keep you on your toes.
I love this town and the characters. I mean with a name like Sunshine, you won’t forget her, and I can tell we will get some great books from this already!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I really have no coherent words for this book to accurately describe this book. I am at a loss for words as I have never had a book, where I had it all figured out, throw me a 1,2 punch like that.
As this is my first book by this author, I really didnt know what to expect but i was hooked from the first page and my gosh.
While this had one of my big story turn offs, being a thriller type book, I let it go as I wanted to see where it went and how things played out and I am so so glad I did.
Alicia has it all, great husband who is also pretty nice to look ar according to character descriptions, 2 great daughters and a best friend.
But everyone has secrets and some, well some result in this story!

Cursed Sight (Broderick Coven Series Book 2) by AJ Renee – Review by Shannon Fowler

Cursed Sight (Broderick Coven, #2)Cursed Sight by A.J. Renee
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The main characters of Cursed Sight are witches, Ethan and Serena. There are other magical characters in this story such as shifters and demons. Oh my!

While I did not read book 1, I really liked this story. And now I know I need to read the first book in this series, obviously Brandy and Ryan’s story is something that I need to know.

Cursed Sight is about Ethan finding his powers and learning what he sees and how to prevent his visions from becoming a reality. His story looks like it begins in book 1 so all the more reason to read it! Serena is the coven high priestess. Her powers surpass almost everyone’s, but she too, has lessons to learn, like who might be trying to get rid of her. Helping Ethan with his powers may protect her as well.

Ready for book 3…wondering if it will be Peter’s turn or maybe Max? or one of the other brothers?

Cursed Whispers (Broderick Coven, #3)Cursed Whispers by A.J. Renee
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Each story is getting better and better. Loved these characters. Loved their protectiveness, their devotion, and their energy! Renee writes about a magical world I can imagine being a part of, a world that I want to be a part of.

Many stories build up to the climax and rush the ending causing a letdown feeling, but not Renee. The buildup is intense and well written. The climax was paced just right in this story, I did not feel any disappointment at the “ending”.

Every time I read another shifter story by Renee; I remember just how much I love them! While this is the third in the Broderick Coven Series, it could possibly read as a stand alone if you didn’t already have the first two. (FYI the others as just as good! You will want them too!) The main characters for each book is a different couple but from the Broderick family. Cursed Whispers is about Max Broderick, the veterinarian. The veterinarian that can talk to animals. He finds an injured wolf who turns out to be Claudia, a wolf shifter in need of more than just a doctor’s help. Luckily, Max is special. And ready to fight, protect and love.

Ready to read the next brother’s adventure!

Blue Summer
Part One
By Everly Taylor
☆☆☆☆☆
Paranormal Romance with suspense is what this book holds for you. Full length and ready to be read. What a fun story to read.

Lillie life is turning a corner of falsehood. Everything she had been told growing up, the fears she carried were so very different as an adult. Good thing Lillie has an open mind, because she has stumbled into quite a mess. First her purse is taken off her shoulder, at which point she takes her heels off and in pursuit of the creep. Did I mention Zayed (The Blue Men)?She is much stronger than even she knows. Her strong will will either be her demise or saving grace. You must read the book for there will be no spoilers here.

I have not read anything from Everly Taylor in years. I am so pleased I took a chance with this story. As always she does not disappoint. You can’t help but fall in love with the blue men. In fact you can’t help falling In love with all of the characters. I love where this book goes and look forward to getting back to reading more from Everly Taylor. Job well done Everly Taylor! Well Done! Bring on Book Two.

Blood Mug (Red Farlow Mysteries: #4)Blood Mug by W.F. Ranew
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

One of my favorite genres is crime/mystery, and this book delivers. This is the fourth book in the series. I highly recommend the first three books as well. W. F. Ranew is a mastermind whose plotline is engaging and the characters really have brought this book to life. There were several twists and turns that kept me turning the pages. His characters are fully developed and complex in nature. Pt. Farlow is back and has found more than he had bargained. He went to a meeting and the chairman was there but he had a knife stuck in his bag. He knew he needed to act fast to find out what happened. That is when it led to more than he had realized. Will Pt. Farlow solve these murders? What else did he find out what was happening? I highly recommend reading this book to see how Pt. Farlow investigation finishes.

This is the first book I have read from these two authors. I love a good mafia romance but they exceeded all my expectations. These two authors did an amazing job with their writing. I could not tell that there were two authors to this book. This is the first book of the sons of Sindicato series and wow what a perfect way to start a series. I could not put this book down until the end. It only took me a few hours to devour this addictive book.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The Devoted Fan by Pamela DuMond writing as P.S. DuMond is the fifth book in the 21st Century Courtesan book series. I will start by recommending that you should read the books in order. The series builds throughout the books and with this being the last book you need the context. The story helps conclude the series that includes twists, turns, suspense, and romance. I have enjoyed seeing the character Evie has evolved throughout the series. There is a lot going on but I am not going to spoil the story for you. Just know that if you doubt that karma exists you will not after reading this book. I have enjoyed this series and will be looking for other books by this author to read soon.

Cat Anderson, an unlikely 14 year old, has the adventure of a lifetime on the day before school starts. Having grown up with a mom who doesn’t cook, she tries a new homemade good and meets a new boy. This story will take on a funny tale through the adventures of family drama, teen angst, and delicious recipes. Cat, Robyn and their friends may have you rolling in the aisles as you read this funny tale. It makes you think back to your junior high days of cafeteria lunches and changing classes. It was nice to see the multicultural feel to it and I look forward to trying the recipes.

It was almost ironic to read a book about a world during a deadly virus outbreak whilst we are currently in the grip of a global pandemic due to a deadly virus outbreak. When a water borne virus begins to kill people in the thousands all across the world, Cam is one of 300 hundred people chosen to live in a dome covered colony on an island in the hope to preserve human life on the planet. I saw many similarities in this book such as sustainability, community living. etc that are buzzwords at the moment of how we can have a more secure future on earth. I found this book interesting and the premise is good. The characters were well thought out. However, I did find the lengthy descriptions hard to keep up with at times and almost got a bit lost with the actual plot.

Blue Summer Part One by Everly Taylor is a fast paced story and exciting. I found it to be a pretty quick read because I got straight into it. I read it all in one sitting because I had to know what was going to happen.
I enjoyed the overall storyline of the book. The idea was good and well thought out. The characters really added to this – especially Lillie. I found her to be engaging and likeable right from the start.
This book does end on a cliffhanger so I will definitely be looking to read book two. But it is well worth your time and thoroughly enjoyable.

Delilah is a demon, running a bar and hunting at night. Life in the city gets too much for her so she decides to book a cabin in the woods and treat herself to a vacation. That is until three witches summon her to do their bidding to avenge their long gone ancestors. Then on top of that there’s a handsome Sheriff in the mix who also happens to be in a poly amorous relationship with a Nix.
This novel was fun and whimsical, Delilah is kick ass and funny and easily likable. I really enjoyed this book and found it easy to follow. I would definitely read more in the series.

I enjoyed listening to this audio.  The narrator’s voice made the story easy to listen too.  They brought life to the story and I could easily see the characters.   I enjoyed them, I found myself easily connecting to them. In this story Crimson’s spells always go bad. When the high priestess threatens to bind her powers, her reaction is to challenge her to a battle that she doesn’t have a chance to win. What will happen when a demon named Mike makes a deal that could change everything for Crimson?  The characters had great chemistry and I enjoyed them.  I highly recommend this audio, it is worth the listen too.

Blue Summer was the first book I’ve read by this author but it certainly won’t be my last! I had no idea what to expect when I dove into this one but this storyline far exceeded anything I could have hoped for. It’s so detailed, entertaining, intense and oh so steamy! I was captivated right from the get go and ended up reading this book in one sitting as I couldn’t bring myself to stop reading.

This author took me on such a beautifully described journey, one that I wouldn’t mind living in. The story is written with so much detail that I could easily picture everything playing out in my mind, which kept me highly entertained. I cannot wait to continue reading this storyline with Part Two.

If you are looking for a one of a kind read look no futher, this is the book for you!

What a rollercoster ride of an ending. I just could not put this book down as it is the fifth book in this series I have read. Man I just love how the author was able to mix the drama and story. I sure was on the edge of my seat to see how it would all end.

I definitely was not disappointed and I felt as though I was right in the thick of the drama. I like how the plot twisted. I could definitely feel the main character’s emotions and was sad to see that this is the last. I would definitely read more from this author.

This is the 1st book in the Walker Family Series. It is a lovely story about love and overcoming difficulties. The author does a great job at making the characters likeable and relatable.

Susan has moved to Georgia for a fresh start. She has big plans t open her new restaurant. She had plans and goals. What she doesn’t expect is Eric to come in a mess them all up.

Eric is a bit of a longer. Happy with his own company. After finding out he was going to lose his home because of a bet his uncle lost, Eric doesn’t know where to turn or what to do…

There is an instant connection between Erica and Susan but with them both having problems in their life’s can they over come them together or will secrets from their posts stop them from having a future.

I’ve never read Danielle Jacks until this book and I feel like have been missing out. I am a fan of my brother’s best friend tropes. This one though it was slightly different with the brother and best friend on the outs and their relationship started out as revenge for Damien and a cover for Zoe. The chemistry between the two is *insert me doing a chef’s kiss* perfection. How will everything play out you ask? You will need to grab your own copy of this book.

I have never read a book by this author previously, but I found it to be very intriguing once I got into the first few chapters. I thought that her way of developing the characters was different but in a positive way. There was a lot of mystery, secrets and lies. No one could be trusted and just when you thought you knew what was about to happen a curve in the road lie ahead to throw you off course. It was a mystery. A puzzle that you had to put together and the last piece wouldn’t be put into place until she was ready. I really didn’t feel a huge connection with any of the characters but could sympathize with them with their dark pasts. If you love books that will keep you on the edge of your seat right up until the end, then this is the right book for you.

Walker Pride is the first book in the Walker Family Series by Bernadette Marie. I had only previously read 1 book by this author but I had really enjoyed it and was looking forward to reading the start of a new series.
I really enjoyed this first book. This could end up being a very long series as the Walkers are one very big family and I’m sure all will have great stories to tell. AS the book continued more and more siblings, cousins etc were added to the clan.
In this book we get the story of the Eldest brother Eric. At risk of losing everything he has worked for due to a bet made by his Uncle, he’s determined to do everything possible to save his house and livelihood. He doesn’t have room for distractions but can’t help be extremely distracted by the beautiful Susan Hayes, the caterer at his Grandfather’s funeral.
I adored Eric and Susan’s story. There is so much more than just a romance story in this book. There is danger, drama and intrigue as well as feuding families. Susan and Eric are both great characters to read and I could have read about the two of them for hours and hours. This story was highly entertaining and keeps you gripped to the storyline to see what happens next.
Definitely recommend.

Blue men with no women of their kind. Mushroom houses. An evil sorcerer.
Meeting the Zayed changes Lillie’s life forever. An accidental encounter causes her to be kidnapped by the evil sorcerer. He thinks she knows more than she does. I love Lillie, she is a strong, independent woman who knows how to take care of herself. She isn’t a woman that needs to be rescued. Where does she fit in with the Zayed community? Why does she feel as if she belongs when she hasn’t felt as if she belonged anywhere her entire life.
I really enjoyed the characters and the relationships she developed. The book is during a 48 hour period so everything happens very quickly. Heath, Clay, Brian, and Chief are very well developed and I felt connected. The book ends on a total cliffhanger, but I was totally engrossed. I had to know what happened and immediately bought book two and finished it right after book one.
