Winter has come to the remote mountain village, embroiling Valentina in tragedy.

A dark energy has arisen, threatening to destroy the peace between dwarves and humans in a rash of violent chaos.

In her battle to survive, Valentina finds sanctuary in the most unlikely of places. Even so, she soon discovers she can’t outrun the secrets buried within her.

Despite being a seasoned crusader, Nisse has never encountered anything as malicious as the dark magic that ravages his canton. Driven by a desire to protect Valentina, he rushes to the chateau to warn her—only to find the estate in disrepair, and no signs of life.

Fearing for the woman he loves, Nisse seeks out the rightful Lord Winslow, who fled the canton years ago.

Will they find a way to recover the peace between dwarves and humans? Can Valentina ever claim happiness when she learns the harsh truth about what surges through her veins?

The Walls Between Us: A Borderland Love StoryThe Walls Between Us: A Borderland Love Story by Kate McGahan
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The Walls Between Us: A Borderline Love Story by Kate McGahan is a complex and well written story that will have you completely devoted to the characters. I loved that the whole story was based in historical fact as it added a whole new depth to the story. I was drawn in by everything that was happening and could so easily imagine every single scene.
This is the first book that I have read by this author but if this is an example of her work then it certainly won’t be the last. This is an amazing book and the author has done an incredible of creating such a memorable story. I loved this book from start to finish and could not recommend it more.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the first book in Valerie Davisson’s new, ‘The Logan McKenna Series’, and features recently widowed Logan McKenna. Following her husbands death, the loss of their company, and with her grown up daughter living away Logan is feeling as though her life is falling apart. Making a dramatic decision, Logan decides to moves away, ready to start life again. Logan joins friends Thomas and Lisa and helps them out on their booth at an arts festival, where she enjoys looking round all the arts and craft booths. Then one of the young glass blowers is murdered and her best friend Thomas is accused of the crime. Thomas Delgado, a Native American artist, is accused of the brutal murder and so Logan readily comes to his defence, but unhelpfully Thomas is refusing to defend himself. Logan decides to dig deeper in the hope of clearing her friends name but she soon discovers that the world of glassblowing is dangerous. Whilst still reeling with the loss and major changes in her own life, Logan discovers more and more secrets in her quest to clear Thomas name, meanwhile the real killer is still out there.
This was a page turner of a novel, a real crime, thriller, murder mystery, which had me hooked from the start. The storyline moves along at a good pace and keeps you guessing. I found the main character, Logan McKenna a very likeable and relatable, independent women who held the storyline together well. I look forward to further novels in this series.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Joanne Patterson is a new author for me and after reading this book, I will definitely be in the lookout for more of her books. While this read is Book 2 in the Rebecca Steele Series I had no trouble what so ever following this read and absolutely loved following the characters storyline, but just for the experience and this authors great writing I will definitely be going back to read book 1. This book had me captivated from the very beginning, I loved following Becky’s journey in this read and how she deals with things that get thrown her way. You will be left wondering what will happen in the read with the twists and turns that get brought your way. I can’t wait to read more from this author and to see where else this author takes the rest of this series! I highly recommend this read and this author!

Trey: European Redemption (Russian Mob Chronicles Book 7)Trey: European Redemption by Shandi Boyes
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This was a gripping story to read. It deals with human sex trafficking which can be a very sensitive subject and while some People may not like how graphic the book was i think it was needed to actually get across the pain, humiliation and despair that people go through. I really enjoyed this book and the characters are so well written you find yourself wanting the best for them and rooting for them to succeed.

Trey himself has his own demons to fight from his past which keeps him cold, distanct and a trained killer. As Nikolai’s second in command he is very protective of those he cares about and will stop at nothing to protect them.

When he first meets K she is a victim rescued from a house where they were used as sex slaves. Something inside her eyes speaks to Trey and he realises she is has broken as he is.

Can they mend each other or are their demons too big to overcome?

Shooting Star (Back Door Records Book 1)
By Xana Jordan
5 out of 5 stars

I loved reading the book Shooting Star (Back Door Records Book 1) by Xana Jordan. It is a romance story that pulls you in from the beginning and doesn’t let go until the final page. It is the story of an agent for a record label and a beautiful woman whose sultry voice sets his world on fire. The chemistry and attraction between them are off the charts. I loved reading about the bantering that goes back and forth between them. They are two people who will have you believing in true love and soulmates. There are some very romantic moments included in this story that make the temperature in the room rise. I also loved reading about the additional characters that are introduced. Their comradery and friendship shine through with each conversation that you read. The author does a wonderful job of making you feel like you are right there with the characters. There are times when I was smiling and laughing out loud. Other times had swoon-worthy scenes. Don’t miss out on a romantic story that will touch your heart. I highly recommend reading it.

By Bianca Blythe
5 out of 5 stars

I loved reading the book A Duke Never Forgets (The Duke Hunters Club Book 3) by Bianca Blythe. It is a historical romance that pulled me in from the beginning and I was hooked. I loved reading about the characters of Sebastian, the Duke of Sandridge and Genevieve. I love historical romances and this book is a wonderful example of why. It takes you to another time period and in this case throws in romance and a case of amnesia. The situations that occur are at times humorous and at others touching. The story is written in such a way that I found myself feeling like I was right there with the characters. There are secondary characters that have their part to play in the story and I enjoyed reading about them as well. Don’t miss out on a book that will have you swept up in another time and place. I didn’t want to put it down until the final page. I would highly recommend reading it.

Valerie Davisson did an amazing job with this thriller. Her plot line kept me on edge of my seat. There a couple times that I was caught off guard because I did not see it coming. The characters were complex and active throughout the book. I personally kept turning the pages faster and faster because I could not wait to see what was coming next. The one thing I really liked about this story is the main character, Logan is a woman. I enjoyed the story more because Logan was the one to try to solve this murder. Will she be successful? You will have to read the story to find out. I am ready for book 2.

This is my first book by Isra Sravenheart. This is a fantasy style book leaning to the “dark-side” of witches. It was an interesting take on a “villain’s” point of view. Our main character’s name is Lady Isra of the Dark. She is very knowledgeable in all things magical. I’ll be interested to see where the author takes this story in the second book.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This story was a tough one for me to read, because of all the emotions I had while reading. This is a story about Sarah and her abduction. Sarah tells a tail of her life. I do not think I could ever fall in love with someone who took me away from my family. Stuart Ledwith did an amazing job with his character building. I felt like I was Sarah Tarbell by the end of the story. The picture he painted, especially with his attention to detail was a vivid one. Can someone who is abducted ever feel safe? Can they feel love? Do they miss their family? I highly recommend this emotional roller coaster ride of a book. Make sure you have a kleenex box and comfy blanket because you may not be able to put the book down.

The Trouble with Paradise (Madeline Dawkins #4)The Trouble with Paradise by Cynthia Hamilton
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The Trouble With Paradise is the 4th book in the Madeline Dawkins Mystery series by Cynthia Hamilton. Each book can be read as a standalone but in my opinion I think you’d get more from the series if you read it all from the beginning and in order. This is a fantastic mystery series that will keep you on the edge of your seat.
As much as I loved the first book in this series, I think it gets better and better as it goes on and we get to spend more time in the company of Madeline Dawkins and her partner Mike Delaney. Just reading the blurb, I was already hooked and that was before I even started reading – Two dead husbands – Accident, Suicide or Murder?
Yet again Cynthia Hamilton had written an intricate storyline with so many twists and turns that you can’t put this book down. I absolutely loved this book. The two cases that Madeline and Mike are working on are full of mystery, danger and intrigue and are highly entertaining. I was totally absorbed by both cases and couldn’t wait to see how they unravelled.
Madeline and Mike are both amazing characters. I could read their exploits for hours on end. I can’t wait to read more in this series.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Who doesn’t love a romance novel involving Hockey! Center of Gravity is a standalone friends-to-lovers sports romance (An Ice Tigers Hockey Romance Book 2) written by the awesome Isabella Cassazza. In this story we meet Matt who just got acquired by the Ice Tigers. Matt is a cynic when it comes to women. He firmly believes that they don’t do anything but disappoint you. Now, we also have Emelia, who tries really hard to make everyone proud. But for some reason it just doesn’t seem to work all the time. Emelia is an Italian heiress who is sent to Boston to run her family’s newly acquired hockey team. But things decided to turn for both Matt and Emelia. This book has a lot of twists and surprises that you don’t see coming. The characters are wonderful and interact well with each other. I loved this book and can’t wait to read the others. This is one of those books that suck you in in the beginning and you cannot put it down. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who loves sports, especially hockey and of course romance.

I have read a couple of books from this author but she keeps on surprising me. I love a good friends to lovers story but this author exceeded all my expectations. This the second book to the Ice Tigers hockey romance. You can read this book as a stand alone but there are previous characters in this story as well. I was so excited when I got this book I stopped everything and started to read it immediately. I could not put this book down until the end. It only took me a full day to devour this amazing story.

Emilia’s life looks perfect but deep down it is far from it. She is the granddaughter to the Ravelli family. Emilia gets out to clear her head and she runs into a very handsome stranger. She ends up going way too far and now her life is going to change. Emilia is sent to Boston to manage The Ice Tigers and she is in complete shock that her handsome stranger is now her employee. She has a huge secret to tell him but will it ruin them both? Will Emilia find the love that she has wanted since she was a little girl or will she end up alone?

My rating: 3 of 5 stars

3 Stars

The Abduction of Sarah Tarbell: As Her Soul Remembers by Stuart Ledwith is an interesting historical chronicle focusing on the life of a puritan teenager abducted by the Mohawk Indians in the early 1700’s. We follow her emotive journey of strength and survival- learning much about her, and the time, as experienced by her.
This is an original story, told in an interesting way. Sarah had a difficult life- full of fear, danger, and the unfamiliar. But amongst it all is a story of strength and survival, of faith and hope, compassion and learning, and most of all- a story of love.
This book has a bit of a documentary feel to it- but also woven with real emotion. It is a thought-provoking read that had me appreciating the strength it took to survive under those circumstances.

Thank you, Stuart Ledwith!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is my second book by M. Billiter. I read A Divided Mind first and couldn’t put it down. This book was the same for me. However, this book had so much more emotion than the first one. I honestly had a small cry break in this book. Beautifully worded and written. In the first book you get Branson and Tara’s POV. In this book you get both twins and I am at a loss for words at how exceptional this book turned out. It is sad and heart breaking, but mental illness does not get enough explanation in the world – this book shows the truth of it. Absolute must read.

The Divided Twin (The Divided Series #2) by M. Billiter was a twisted 5 star read.
I was pulled right in from the beginning and was done before I knew it.

Aaron and Branson are identical twins, one of them has been diagnosed with schizophrenia/schizoaffective disorder. Both twins are at different colleges trying to move forward. Branson hasn’t had any issues for quite some time. When things take a sad turn the boys end up going back home. Their mom has fallen sick with breast cancer.

Things get even more twisted when another personality makes itself known and has some dark and twisted plans. There are so many unexpected twists and turns. I will warn that there are some scenes that may cause triggers for some. All of the secondary characters added a great element to the story. There is bullying, mental illness, violence and so much more. The author has done a great job with her writing and you feel like you are right there with the characters. I had chills at times and my emotions were all over the place. You can read this as a stand alone but I suggest reading book one so that you are familiar with the characters. I look forward to reading more from this author. 1-click and get started today.

The Trouble with Paradise (Madeline Dawkins #4)The Trouble with Paradise by Cynthia Hamilton
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The Trouble With Paradise is the fourth book in The Madeline Dawkins Series by Cynthia Hamilton. Madeline Dawkins is a private investigator with her partner Mike Delaney. The Santa Barbara D.A. calls up Madeline about figuring out how two men died. Unfortunately, Madeline isn’t a stranger to troubled marriages. Not only does Madeline have to worry about solving these two cases, but now her ex-husband is trying to clear the name of an inmate. I loved the way the author was able to carry out multiple storylines and how well she was able to tie them together. You’ve got two men dead, one who may have been killed by his wife and the other who may have killed himself. Then there is the storyline of Madeline’s ex-husband trying to clear Lindsay Bartholomew’s name. This is the second story I’ve read in this series and I definitely preferred Madeline in this story. I look forward to seeing what Madeline is up to in the next book.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The Debt Collector by India Kells was a good read. Or well listen, because I listened to the audiobook version. I’m giving this book 4 stars for a couple of reasons. One reason, I feel like this book should come with a trigger warning for some of the content, and it didn’t. It only came with a warning for steam, being an 18+ adult novel. The steam was great, and it was very sexual! 5 stars on that, completely! My other issue (which isn’t the author’s fault at all) was the narrator of this audio book. I found myself laughing more often than not just because his voice was so awkward with the female voices, and the sex scenes in general. Other than those, this book was great! It did not disappoint at all.

A Divided Mind by M. Billiter is the first book in The Divided Series. The story is about a teen, Branson and his struggles with the realization that his friend isn’t real. This book hits on the hard subject of mental illness but in a well handled way. The story comes from multiple POVs, including Branson, his mother, his family, and those around him. I enjoyed the way the story was handled, unlike some books I have read in the past. This is a real issue which many deal with in different ways and it was treated thoughtfully and honestly.

Madeline’s cases continue to get even more interesting as she’s attempting to solve two which seem to be at the same time, assisting two different widows in two very different scenarios. Madeline’s ex is out of prison and needs Madeline’s own partner to help clear his name. As the two cases coincide with one another, Madeline must figure out both simultaneously. I can’t help but love Mike and Madeline’s relationship even if it is a power duo saving the world but it would be better if they become official as a couple. Just me wishful thinking on where I hope their story goes because I’ve enjoyed every book’s installment so far so this one is no exception.

If you are into fantasy stories, you will like this one as well. I would classify this story as a dark fantasy romance story. The story is told from the Evil Witch. It wouldn’t be a good fantasy story without one. Lady Isra is the evil queen. She knows that she is the evilest queen in the land. She has made herself unavailable unless you were magical. Could you even imagine casting a spell so no one would take an interest in you? Along comes Astrid, a raven. He helps Lady Isra find her heart. The characters are complex and believable. I felt like I was right there with Lady Isra. Will Astrid turn Lady Isra’s heart into someone who is can be loved? Will Lady Isra let her guard down or will she punish Astrid for trying? I highly recommend this story to see what is awaiting Lady Isra.

I give Her Blackened Soul (Blackened Series Book 1) by Isra Sravenheart, 4 stars.

This reads just like a fairytale for adults. Not just the story itself since it is about a “wicked witch”, but also in the way it is written. It is a fun story with interesting characters you meet throughout the book. The story also keeps you guessing. There were a few things I did not see coming.

This was a fun, interesting supernatural/fairytale read and if you are a fan, this book is for you.
