This book had a hold on me from the start to finish and peaked my interest just by the summary alone. Once you delve into it, you won’t be able to put it down. Social worker, Valerie Williamson, is about to come a whole lot closer to understanding her clients. She’s compelled to start a support group and the death of 19-year-old Carmen Davidson. Carmen’s death has pushed her to throw all of her principles out the window and the group members’ stories push her to ignite the fire from her past. Pushing the boundaries in her career and in her life, she has to fight for what’s right. I thoroughly enjoyed every single thing about this book and was quite surprised at how much I loved Valerie who is like a superhero and a personal inspiration to me as I’m attempting to do the same thing in my life with my career. This is one of my favorite books to date. Great book and it will not disappoint!

Satan’s Devils MC Boxset Books 1-5 (Satan’s Devils MC Series) by Manda Mellett had so much to offer! I loved the variety of the stories and enjoyed the individual growth. Having all five books in one box set was great! I jumped right into the next one when I finished.
Turning Wheels Turning Wheels was the first book in the series. I loved Sophie and my heart hurt for her. Seeing her go from depressed to strong and confident was empowering. There were so many emotions I came back to this book multiple times. I loved the story and kept coming back until it was all done.
Drummer’s Beat Drummer’s Beat was an intense read! So much action and steam! I loved Sam’s strength and confidence. She is a woman on a mission. This is definitely a heavy read and did also take me some time to get through but like Turning Wheels was definitely a book I enjoyed going back to.
Slick Running Slick Running had me in tears! So much heaviness and tough subject matter. This was the heaviest and hardest read. I love the writing and the plot, Ella and Slick go through the ringer.
Targeting Dart Targeting Dart was a great read! I loved Alex, curvy and sassy. She was one of my favorite read in the set. There was still a lot of heavy subject matter. There was a lot of steamy parts while reading. I loved all the twists and turns and details.
Heart Broken Heart Broken was another emotional read. So much heaviness and emotions to work through. I struggled with Heart but I think he changed enough and grew on me. I loved the writing and the plot.

When your book store becomes the hub for murder will Becky be able to solve the crime without getting to deep.
Becky and her grandmother, Miss Alice own a quiet book store near the beach front every so often they host a book reading/signings from the most popular author this month, but when they become entangled with a murder they will have to put all there deductive skills to use to find out whodunit.
I enjoyed this story greatly the characters where warm and welcoming and had you engrossed in the story from the first chapter. I especially love Miss Alice, Becky and Lizzy’s grandmother she was a typical sassy, independent woman who knows her mind. With the twists and turns in this book it will have you reading long into the night to work with them to try and solve the crime.
Although I had worked out who the murderer was the story guided you brilliantly to the conclusion with out making it too obvious which is always great in a story, making the read work for the answer.
This is the first book I have read by this author and I thoroughly enjoyed it and recommend to anyone looking for a escape. I will be looking at reading more by this author in the future.

Girl Trap is the third book in the Madeline Dawkins series by Cynthia Hamilton. WOW- Cynthia Hamilton certainly puts Madeline and Mike through their paces (and the wringer) in this book and has once again produced a clever and engrossing mystery for us to enjoy. Cynthia Hamilton and the Madeline Dawkins series have quickly become my go-to reads as I can always count on her to deliver an exciting story. The Madeline Dawkins books would make a fantastic television series, and in fact, they remind me a lot of the old Moonlighting series with Cybill Shepherd and Bruce Willis- but with more danger, excitement, and a more modern ‘feel’. This story takes place three months after the ending of the previous book. Madeline and Mike take on two missing person cases that turn out to be anything but simple. They split the cases and begin their investigation, being drawn out of Santa Barbara in the process. For Madeline, a simple inquiry in an old missing persons case quickly turns deadly. Things are definitely not as they seem. Mike’s missing persons case quickly turns into a very dangerous sex/human trafficking investigation. With missing women, suspicious circumstances, a spate of murders, two investigations, challenges, riddles, danger, sinister adversaries, and plenty of action- this story really took off. I found it to be a little more intense than the previous two, with more emotion and depth than I had expected. I was on the edge of my seat, with bated breath for parts of the book, while in other parts my heart ached for what the character/s were going through. Ms. Hamilton certainly didn’t hold back, putting her characters (and me) through the wringer. Poor Madeline can’t seem to catch a break, and I was left wondering how much more she can take. But she is one tough, and resilient cookie- who always finds her way through these difficult situations. She’s classy, sexy, intelligent, determined, and skilful- a perfect character for this series. This is another cleverly crafted story in the Madeline Dawkins series. I have already read book four as I could not wait to find out what Maddie and Mike would get up to next- especially after the way this book ended! So, bring on Book #5!!! I cannot wait!!! Wonderfully gripping reading!!!!

Saint Code: The Lost is the first book in the Saint Code series and the fourth book in The Lucky Devil Series by Megan Mackie. I absolutely adore this brilliant series! I developed my addiction to Megan Mackie’s stories back in the first book in The Lucky Devil series and have been eagerly anticipating each new release. I am kicking myself that this book slipped under my radar, and it has taken me so long to notice and read it. This story doesn’t continue the thread that began in ‘Finder of the Lucky Devil’, but seems to predate it. Instead we follow St. Augustina the cyber-spy as she (along with St. Benedict) takes on a new job after being hired by the very mysterious Orange Lady for what seems to be a routine, if not dangerous, case. But Augustina quickly discovers that this is anything but typical. Things get complicated, and deadly. There seems to be a target on her back- so who is out to get her? Get set for an exciting adventure to find out all the riveting details. The storyline is spellbinding and full of all the intricate details and incredible world building I have come to expect from Ms. Mackie. This is a fantastic urban fantasy with cyberpunk/neon-dystopia and paranormal elements. We are cast into a world where magic and technology combine with fascinating results. The story is full of action, adventure, suspense, some mystery, drama, tension, intrigue, danger, secrets, emotion, and so much more. Ms. Mackie has delivered a rich, vibrant and vividly detailed story set in a cleverly constructed and interesting world. Her world building on a masterful level. The characters are truly brilliant- so well-crafted and wonderfully developed. I loved that we get a different perspective into this fascinating ‘world’. Giving us a lot of backstory and also a better understanding of how the Saints are ‘made’. Can not wait for more! Brilliant!!!

Eat Me: Mayim Merman Book One by Amber Dark Five Stars
Eat Me is the first book in the Mayim Merman series by Amber Dark. This is the first book I have read by Ms. Dark, but definitely won’t be the last. This is a short, extremely HOT read. I love that Mayim picks up women, solely for the purpose of giving them pleasure. This book may not be everyone, but if you Love Hot, Steamy, Explicit Sex scenes, then this is the book for you. I’m looking forward to reading the next book in this series.

5 Star Satan’s Devils MC Boxset Books 1-5 (Satans Devils MC Series) by Manda Mellett
Manda Mellett is a woman after my own heart. I absolutely love MC stories .She has quickly become one of my favorite authors. I love everything from the hot alpha male/bad boy image to the drama that comes along with a MC . With that being said this is the first five books in the Satan’s Devils series, each book follows a different couple and can be read as standalone but I will tell you that once you start reading you won’t want to put it down. Each of them have their own set of issues they have to figure out and their end goal is to get the girl. Get ready to be taken on quite the ride. I can promise you won’t be disappointed with this set of books. As always I can’t wait to read more from this Author.

5-Stars
Boundaries (Scope of Practice Book 1) by Jessica Aiken-Hall was way more than I expected. Holy cow! Wow! This book was exciting, heartbreaking, and oh so emotional. It was thrilling and the crimes were calculating. The main character Val was my favorite and I was shocked at the trauma she went through. The ending of this book was not what I expected. I can’t wait to see what happens next. Excellent read!

Eat Me (Mayim Merman Book 1) by Amber Dark 4 Stars
This is a hot, titillating Book meant for adult audiences. Summer has been moping about since her break up with her boyfriend. Six months of crying and eating ice cream. It’s been a long dry spell until she meets Mayim. He’s her first one night stand and it’s a night that she’ll never forget.
I’m not sure what his being a merman has to do with anything but this book was sexy. This one night of passion will leave you hot and bothered, wishing you can be with Mayim too.

This a fast-paced story that I devoured in one sitting. Valerie is a social worker that has past dram in her life that has prevented her from opening up to those around her. However, when she is asked to start a trauma support group, she finds the stories of those around her inspiring and have her wanting to delve into her own past. As she is also working on a murder case, she finds herself opening up to a detective that she has pushed away previously. The boundaries that she has set for herself are becoming blurred and you will have to read the story to see how it all works out.
I enjoyed this book and read it all the way through. There were a lot of ups and downs, emotionally, and there are definitely some triggers that could affect some readers. I found myself okay with them and able to read through the story. This isn’t a genre I usually gravitate to…but this story kept my interest and I may check out other books from this author.

Forgotten Chance is the third book in the forgotten series by Virginia Wine. It is the final instalment in Bryer and Nathan’s story. I enjoyed this series but, in this book, I got so frustrated with Bryer! I just wanted to give her a shake and tell her that Cash was up to no good (I really disliked him). A book that can provoke that kind of emotional reaction in the reader is worth the read. I really enjoyed the way that this story build and the different relationships between the characters. I would recommend this book to fans of the genre.

Love Gaia: The Diary Directive By TL Clark 5 out of 5 stars
I loved reading the book Love Gaia: The Diary Directive by TL Clark. It is a story that pulled me in from the very beginning and didn’t let me go until the final page. It is a story that had my emotions going up and down the entire time I was reading it. The book is written in such a way that I found myself lost in the storyline and the characters. I loved reading about the characters of Aroha, her classmates, and Dr. Rachel. Aroha and her classmates are learning lessons from the past so they do not repeat the same mistakes. As they learn how Dr. Rachel and those around her know they grew to understand how they survived and how they tried to have hope. Will Aroha and her classmates understand the choices that those so long ago had to make? Will they see them in a different light? Read this book to find out. This is a story that is both heartbreaking and heartwarming. I found myself wishing I could read faster as I just had to know how it all turned out. This is a thrilling tale and I found myself thinking about the characters and the story even after I had finished the book. I would highly recommend reading it.

Boundaries (Scope of Practice Book 1) By Jessica Aiken-Hall 5 out of 5 stars
I enjoyed reading the book Boundaries (Scope of Practice Book 1) by Jessica Aiken-Hall. It is a story that pulled me in from the beginning and didn’t let me go until the final page. It is a book that had me turning pages at times wondering what was going to happen next. I liked the character of Valerie Williamson. She is a woman who has kept herself closed off from others except for her cat, Gabriel. She could not have realized the changes that were coming when she was forced to start a trauma support group. She doesn’t feel comfortable comforting others with what she has had to deal with in the past. How will the support group turn out? Valerie also is looking into the death of a young woman as well as letting a detective who she has always pushed away, get closer to her. With all the changes in her life will her boundaries become blurred? What does the future hold for Valerie? Read this book to find out. This story is a bit dark at times and does include a discussion of subjects that may be sensitive to read about. I couldn’t help but care about what happened to Valerie and want her to be happy. I also enjoyed reading about the romance that begins for her. There are other additional characters that Valerie interacts with and each has their part to play in the story. This is a book that had my emotions going up and down the entire time I was reading it. Don’t miss out on this intriguing story.

Boundaries (Scope of Practice Book 1) by Jessica Aiken-Hall
5 Stars
You talk about feelings and thoughts being all knotted up after reading a story…This one definitely had me all confused about how I felt after reading the last page.
Not sure how to review this book, do not want to give anything away but know that I really enjoyed it, there were times I couldn’t read it fast enough. I love how the story weaved around with a few different moving parts. I love how there were times it was a bit dark and then there were times I actually smiled. I loved the character development and wasn’t too sure about Valerie at first, as it didn’t really seem she was too sure about herself, but as her story came out and relationships started forming, I found myself completely connected to her and weirdly understanding all that happened in this book.
I really love this author and how she is able to make me feel what the characters are feeling and getting so wrapt up in my reading that nothing outside the book really registers till I’m done.
Awesome and I can not wait for more from this author!

The author has created an exciting story with plenty of twists and turns to keep that pace going. This was backed up with strong characters that were engaging. This is a strong start to a series and I am definitely looking forward to what is next.

This was an amazing adventure containing two of my favourite things, murders and paranormal.
Erzi is a newly appointed detective who’s job become a lot harder when she is faced with people being murdered. There seems to be no connection between the victims but Erzi can sense dark magic and feels that is the connection. However she can’t voice this to her colleagues as magic and being able to do magic is unheard of by normal humans.
But Ezri isn’t a normal human. She is a witch and the last in the bloodline of Harrow witches. Not only does she have to deal with her job, she also has the pressure of knowing that she is the saviour who needs to defeat the dark magic that is rising.
Add all this stress her need to find out the truth of what happened and why her mum was murdered and this story is gripping and compelling.
Can she stay strong enough to find out who is committing these murders? Can she defeat the dark forces? And who can she trust? Her magical family who deceived her over her mother’s death or her police family who don’t know her secrets.

This is the first book I have read from this author and she now has a new fan. I absolutely love a good slow burn romance but this author exceeded all my expectations. This is the third book of The Calderone Family series. It can be read as a stand alone but there are previous characters in this story as well. You can not help but to fall in love with these characters right from the beginning. I was hooked to the story line so much I devoured this amazing book in a few hours.
Caroline Winters is a very well known architect and she loves her job. Her number one rule is No Relationships. Caroline is so excited that she gets a job from the well known Calderone family. She is hired to design a brand new office building. Caroline’s rule is put to the test when she finds out that she has to work with the owner’s handsome son Charles.

I’m a big fan of India Kells’s books. She writes such gripping novels that will hook you from the very beginning and not let you up until the very end!
Night Justice is the first book in her Chicago Vigilantes series and I’m completely enthralled with it. In this book we follow Orla who is a reporter who is set on her mission on stopping the drug trade that is running rampant through Chicago as well as the Vigilante who has his own version to justice served. Miss Kells has a way of writing such deep and meaningful story that hands you many twists and turns to the plot that keep you on the edge of your seat guessing what will happen next. I cannot wait for the next installment!

Being my first read by this author I wasn’t sure what to expect but this a was an amazing fantasy read that was full of action from start to finish. This was a mentally visual read that I couldn’t put down, it followed effortlessly from chapter to chapter and along with it made me connect to the characters and really enjoy following their journey. This book has you on the edge of your seat and keeps you guessing. This is a great book that shouldn’t be missed!

What an amazing set of books! From the beginning of book 1 until the end of book 5 I was completely captivated! I absolutely adore this author – her MC books are by far the best I’ve ever read. They are always different and the characters have their own issues/troubles to overcome but they are always characters who you fall in love with! The 5 books included in this box set are Turning Wheels, Drummer’s Beat, Slick Running, Targeting Dart and Heart Broken.
Turning Wheels I loved this book so much! Sophie and Wraith’s story was so heart-breaking at times. Wraith was everything I love in an alpha male! Hot, protective, demanding! Oohhh I loved him from the start! I really liked Sophie also, I thought that she was really selfless and I felt for her at times. The chemistry was definitely there between these two as well!! The story was really well written and had a great pace to it! Definitely 5 stars for this one!!
Drummer’s Beat The second book in this series and it definitely did not disappoint! Drummer and Sam’s story is probably one of my favourites by this author! I was swept up in it straight away and I was really disappointed when it finished! I love the family feel of these MC stories – they are so important to each other and the bond they have is great! They really do protect each other and when you become a lady of an MC Brother you know you are theirs for life! Sam and Drummer may have had their troubles being together but in my opinion they were the perfect match!!
Slick Running If I could I would totally insert the crying emoji first for this book! What a way to start the third book in this series! Talk about emotional!! Slick is one of those characters that when you start reading about him you really question him and his personality but he’s been hurt and I can kind of understand him but it really didn’t take long for me to fall in love with him just as I have with the other brothers in this MC. Once he realised what had happened to Ella that MC protectiveness took over! The story is really cleverly written as the storyline kind of begins in book 1 (so I highly recommend these are read in order) but the writing is so smooth and seamless that it’s really easy to read.
Targeting Dart I’m going to be honest that although I absolutely give this 5 stars because the writing is great and the storyline it’s probably my least favourite of all the stories and I can’t really put my finger on why. Maybe I didn’t connect with the characters as much as I wanted or something I’m really not sure but what I do know is as usual the story is excellently written with a great pace and flow. The characters were a little harder to get to know but they were really well developed and I liked to see other characters from previous stories pop up as well. I did like the connection that Dart and Alex had – I just wish that Alex knew how special she was regardless of how she thought she looked!
Heart Broken This book is aptly named – ‘heartbroken’ – this was definitely me at some point over this story! The story is so beautifully written that it has to be my favourite now! So much pain and grief in this story yet so much hope and love too. Heart and Marc, they shouldn’t even talk to each other let alone help each other out but the connection between them was undeniable! I could feel every emotion that Heart was feeling, the grief and the pain from losing his wife. This story was a real emotional rollercoaster and I absolutely loved it!

Bottomed Out by Brooke May a thrilling five-star read. This is number four in the Moto X series, but they can be read as stand-alone as this is my first read in the series and my first by this author and I don’t feel lost in the story. Jax Hunt will make you warm to him, no matter how much he doesn’t want to accept it. I started this late the other night and then couldn’t put it down until I had finished the story, it just wrapped me up in the pages. It also started a great reading curve, that I am loving as it started a great curve of amazing reads. Jax and Lennox have such chemistry they light up the page, but as with all chemistry you need to make sure you do everything correctly or it can be explosive and that’s where Lennox brother steps in, and the secondary characters in this story make the story, it’s the little chats that happen that start with no consequence but give you the greatest insight. I will be going back to check more from this author especially as I just discovered two on my TBR pile!!!

Forgotten Chance by Virginia Wine a five-star read you won’t forget. This is number three and the final piece of the Forgotten Trilogy and in my eyes it was the best part, it feels like this was a culmination of all of the blood, sweat and tears the characters went through in the first two, and just as you think they have made it, boom bottom falls out and you are left reeling. That being said Bryer and Nathan have a will like no other and they are so strong, but will strength be enough, aahhh you need to read this trilogy to understand their story the highs, the lows and all of the drama in between, if you don’t like steam there is another version which I just think is the coolest idea, as I find a great read, but cant share it with my bestie as she is a prude, so this was ideal for us, I can only hope for more.

Deleted by Ruth Mitchell a four-star read you won’t want to delete from your collection. This was a thrilling ride of a read, the take is fascinating and will keep you hooked as there is so much going on it could be too overpowering but the author has a great way of keeping it all together and making it all make sense. This was a great story that will make you care and make you worry about technology and its part in or lives. What I enjoyed most though was the fact that I thought I knew where the story was going then boom, plot twist and the rug was pulled, it just makes a rich and complex story. I am only bumping it to four-stars as there were a couple of messy quips, but I am sure they will only get better the more this author writes.

I enjoyed this book. It is a mystery, suspenseful story that is engaging and fast paced. It is a well written story that has characters that I had no issues connecting with. They made the story realistic. They are strong and supportive to each other. The twists and turns kept me turning pages to the end. This story is about Valarie. She is a social worker that has had trauma in her past. She is more comfortable with the dead than the living. What will happen when she is asked to run a trauma support group? Her boundaries are tested, will she find herself letting down walls she has built up? I enjoyed watching her grow throughout the story. I highly recommend this book.

I enjoyed this dystopian war-romance story. This is not my first book by this author but it is one of my favorites by her. It is a well written story that has details that make the story pop off the pages. I had no problems connecting with the characters. They are engaging and made the story enjoyable to read. This is a story of hope and survival. In this story Aroha and her friends will learn that to not make the same mistake twice, harsh lessons need to be learned. This book could be a trigger but if you can get past that it really is an enjoyable story that will keep you turning pages. When everything rides on Aroha and her friends what will happen? I highly recommend this book to find out what happens next in this thrilling tale.

Valerie Williamson is known as the Anti-social Social Worker by her colleagues at Lawrenceville Regional Hospital. After a traumatic event, she closed off her world sixteen years ago to everyone, except her cat, Gabriel. She is more comfortable with the dead than the living and her job as a deceased patient coordinator keeps her content.
Everything changes when she is forced to start a trauma support group. How can she comfort people with trauma, when she can’t even talk about her past? And then, the death of 19-year-old Carmen Davidson leaves questions that eat away at her every thought. With her walls down, she let the detective she’s been pushing away get close to her. With all of this, can Valerie keep her boundaries from blurring?
