My rating: 5 of 5 stars

After reading Dance of Hearts by Byrd Nash, I didn’t think I could love a book more. Well, I was wrong. Price of a Rose is spellbinding and pulled me in to the point that I felt I was the main character. I was living the life of Rose and I didn’t want it to end. I truly couldn’t put this book down. I was up almost all night to finish reading it. And that’s something I don’t really do anymore considering I have to be at work at 8 AM. But it was SO WORTH THE LACK OF SLEEP!!! I must admit, Beauty and the Beast is my favorite Disney fairytale of all time, but this put such a spin on the story that I think I love it more than the original. And that’s me being 100% honest and something I never imagined I would say. There is love and a happily ever after to this story, but with so many twists and turns I never could have seen this ending coming. Byrd once again sends us back into the 1800’s with a third person retelling that is reminiscent of the 1991 animated film. It’s a very short story but the attention to details and the characters keep you entranced and feeling like it’s you. I CANNOT RECOMMEND THIS BOOK ENOUGH! Please, please, please give this book a read.

How did my life become such a battle just to breathe? When did I start to hate everything that is me? Along the way where did I lose my family, the Horde, and their support I have always relied on? Why did I push them away? What’s going on with me? Who am I anymore? Why do I even care when it seems no one else does?

As the emptiness of my very existence threatens my sanity, I search for ways to make myself just feel. The problem is each time I find a new way to feel it’s not only causing me pain but also bodily harm.
Will I be able to focus on the light amongst all the pain and darkness my mind sees? Will the people fighting to bring me back win or will the emptiness of my soul finally pull me down to nothingness? I don’t have a clue.

The next day, Lily and Rose go to see the owner of the mansion and while Lily goes in to see the beast himself, she agrees to be his housekeeper in the time between then and when she leaves to be married, reluctantly the beastly man agrees, but without knowing that he is a Parker, as she goes to introduce herself to the household and take a look around the enchanting of not deteriorating interior, the master goes outside and finds Rose in the garden. Rose is obsessed with the outdoors and sees beauty and intrigue in the dilapidated gardens, so when she is approached by the master of the house, she introduces herself and her agreement with him ends up being that she shall work in the garden to restore it to its previous beauty which is no laughing matter as it is in as bad of a state as the house.

As time goes on and the two sisters get on with their jobs in the house, their youngest sister Poppy makes the acquaintance of the master and when caught in his library and seeing that he is having troubles writing his letters, Poppy ends up being his secretary, but she is using that as a front purely to read his books, especially the ones to do with magic to try and remove the curse. The house contains many secrets and as the sisters continue to stay around the estate, experiencing them first hand in some cases, can they work out how to break the curse, or will an unexpected visitor derail all their attempts at restoring happiness to the grand estate and it’s master? This is a sweet retelling of beauty and the beast full of romance, magic and mystery.

Witness: An Ash Park Novel (Volume 9) by Meghan O’Flynn is another wonderful dark thriller in this series. It will have you so twisted around and turned inside out that you won’t know which way is up or down. Such is Meghan’s writing that it becomes all-encompassing and there are a lot of moving parts. Meghan is a master at writing psychological thrillers as evidenced by this series and the sinister plot webs she weaves so intricately and skillfully.

This dark tale sees us taking a look into the darker and deeper side of Petrosky as he once again is on the case of a killer or killers.

It was one of those stories that had me on the edge of my seat, eager to see what would happen next. The charcters are great in this one but I think I loved Tessa the most. She was awesome. The suspense and mystery are what what made this story a great one and I cannot wait to get my hands on more by this author.

Hacker (The Mercenaries Series) by Nadine Travers writing as Raven White- Review by Angela Hayes

/0 Comments/in /by

Hacker (The Mercenaries, #2)Hacker by Raven White
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

 

Hacker is the second book in The Mercenaries series by Nadine Travers who is writing under the pseudonym of Raven White. This is another romantic suspense- with an alpha male, the mafia, drama, danger, action, complex characters, banter, camaraderie, suspense, and sizzling chemistry. This is definitely my favourite of the series, so far.
I don’t want to give too much away and spoil it for you, plus the blurb does a better job of whetting your appetite than I ever could- but I recommend going in a bit blind and letting the author, characters, and story surprise you.
If you like romantic suspense with sizzling chemistry, alpha males, action, and danger- then this is the book for you!

Thank you, Raven White (Nadine Travers)!

The Executive's Decision (Keller Family, #1)The Executive’s Decision by Bernadette Marie
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

3 Stars

The Executive’s Decision is the first book in the Keller Family series by Bernadette Marie. It is a contemporary office romance- with drama, family, banter, humour, betrayal, love, and some spice.
I really wanted to love this book, as office romance is normally my jam. But unfortunately I didn’t connect with the characters, they just succeeded in frustrating me so badly that I wanted to shake them- and because of that I found it extremely difficult to invest in them and the outcome of their story.
There were elements of the story that I did enjoy- such as the banter and family dynamics, but overall, this fell a little short for me. But please don’t let my opinion put you off, as I have been on a bit of a dark romance/fiction binge of late, which may have impacted my opinion of this book. I have decided to reread this book in a few weeks to see if I till feel the same way.

Thank you, Bernadette Marie!

The Liminal Space is the second book in the Antipodes series by T.S Simons. It is a YA, post-apocalyptic, dystopian story; with some science fiction elements, drama, and tension.
All in all, an intriguing and thought-provoking read.
Having read the first book, I was curious to see what would happen in this book- so grabbed a copy and dove in. Again, as with he first book, there is quite a lot going on, but I seemed to ‘settle’ into this story easier than the first book- which made for a more enjoyable read. That’s not to say that I didn’t have a few issues with the story/developments- but thankfully they didn’t detract too much from my overall enjoyment of the story.

Thank you, T.S. Simons!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Victorian romance novels are not my thing but I will give almost any spin of a fairytale retelling a try…
I recently read Byrd Nash’s Dance of Hearts and enjoyed the Cinderella tale, I couldn’t pass up a retelling of Beauty and the Beast. Price of a Rose did not disappoint! There is so much to be loved about this novella. For a tale as old as time, it’s hard to see it retold with a unique spin but Byrd Nash hit this one out of the park. I love that the story involves three sisters, each with something different to offer. It doesn’t hurt that Rose is the middle daughter, much like yours truly…
I love the fairy element as well.
I would definitely recommend this 4 star story to anyone that enjoys light hearted, fun, clean romance. Added points if you adore historical romances.

I have been reading books by Meghan O’Flynn for a while now and can honestly say I’m still creeped out. Every story crawls under my skin and lives there. I can’t seem to stop reading the stories either. The details laid out perfectly. The plot full of twist, dips, dives and corners you lose what way is up and what way is down. One moment you feel you have an understanding and something happens to change the game. I got chills just thinking about this story. This is book 9 and not once has the author disappointed. Detective Petrosky’s character has been through the ringer and yet he is still fighting. He has faced so many tragedies I am honestly surprised he is still fighting. This story brings his dead partner back onto the sense and it’s a big mess. I was scared and excited for this story. I can’t get enough even though it freaks me out.

Learning to Live: An Enemy to Lovers Ugly Cry (The Infinite Love Series, Book 1)Learning to Live: An Enemy to Lovers Ugly Cry by Kira Adams
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I read Learning to Live in two days, and I’m not an uncommonly fast reader. I just couldn’t put the book down. I’m also the type that prefers going into a book completely blind. I really hate spoilers, so most of the time I’ll only go into it with only the title, author, cover art and genre. When I picked up Learning to Live, I knew that it was a romance novel, so I assumed it was about a woman “learning to live” after escaping an abusive relationship. Instead, the story I got was a wildly different YA, coming of age. I loved every moment of it and spent the last 30% of the novel holding back tears. There’s a quote from the main character, Ciera, that’s very fitting: “I love how romance authors can make you feel every emotion in their books, and you feel invested in the characters. By the end of the story, you feel as if you know them on some kind of personal level, and you mourn the loss of them when it’s over.” In this way, Kira Adams gets everything right. I highly recommend this book to anyone looking for a rich, compelling story about learning to live and how to love. My only nitpick is that there should have been a warning for graphic bullying, nudity and for being sexually explicit. I do not believe that any of these elements were gratuitous or unnecessary to the plot, but it’s important to respect the boundaries and expectations of readers. There is a disclaimer in the online synopsis, but not in the book itself.
