My rating: 3 of 5 stars

So this isn’t what I expected by a long shot. I was looking for romance and this doesn’t really have that. The story was difficult to read because the characters irritated me. Many times i just wanted to put the book down. These family dynamics in here are tough and I lean towards stronger characters with a little backbone. The writing was good and easily drew me in (like a car crash) and kept my interest. The characters are a nightmare. Too many times I just wanted to smack some sense into them. There isn’t one to like and Just when I thought I did find one, that person did something horrible and I am back to square one.

I have VERY strong feelings towards this book. I have a dislike/hate relationship with the characters. I almost wish Cooper was written as little stronger (overall) and maybe softer towards Bailey. That might make him more palatable. Then maybe I could root for him. I just didn’t understand his whole hate/love demeanor all the time towards Bailey.

This is kind of a soft ending. Meaning if the reader is happy with the ending. Great But if not there is more in the next book.

5-Stars

Eat Me (Mayim Merman Book 1) by Amber Dark was short and steamy. It was a great short story that I easily devoured. Mayim is a merman and also enjoys helping women in his own way. He utilizes his sexual prowess and good looks to help women find themselves again. He boosts their self love and helps them move past hang-ups from past relationships. I loved reading this story and how he helped Summer. It was easy to read in one sitting and I was hooked from the start. Easy flow and very addictive. 5-Stars.

Designing Love (The Calderone Family Romance Book 3)Designing Love by Victoria Grant
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

4 stars!
Designing Love is book 3 of the Calderone Family Series. I have not read the other 2 books, and I was able to understand and stay caught up with this book, so it can be read as a standalone.
Caroline is the maid of honor at her best friend’s wedding, Charles is the best man for his brother in that same wedding. Their relationship starts off kind of rocky but slowly comes around to something beautiful. When Caroline is chosen as the architect for the Calderone family business, I was weary that it would go very well due to the budding romance between Caroline and Charles, and I was right to feel that way. I felt as though their fights were ridiculous and that Caroline would get mad and agitated with Charles for really small and trivial things. In the end I love how Charles stuck it out with her, was there for her for all her ups and downs including, a family crisis, an award, and all her many doubts. They both said they would never get married, Charles especially after he was turned down on his first marriage proposal to his previous girlfriend, and that love wasn’t for either of them, but I guess you never know how love will affect you.

The secondary characters were also a fantastic element to the book and meeting them, I look forward to going back and reading the first 2 books of the series.

Ok so Im not that into reading super sizzling hot books and the page count kind of scared me because I thought well this will be a quick sex filled under 30 minute read with no substance in the storyline.

WRONG!! I chose this book because the whole merman idea fascinated me and the cover…well…it speaks for itself!!

This was in fact a super quick read coming in at only about 42 pages, but I am amazed that at the end of this I actually felt like there was a lesson for all contained in the few pages, a lesson that everyone that has lost all of their self esteem during an ugly break up could benefit from. This book was definitely steamy and some of Mayim’s dirty talking literally made me blush.

I really did enjoy this story and not just because of the heat factor.. I loved the ending and can not wait for more in this series.

Forgotten Chance: Book Three (Forgotten Trilogy)Forgotten Chance: Book Three by Virginia Wine
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

When the happiest day of your life turns into the worst day of your life in seconds can you recover from the ordeal and live to find happiness well for Bryer she will have to dig deep to try and recover from this disaster and still want the love of her life.

Bryer and Nathan are finally on track, organising the wedding of their dreams but will a blast from the past ruin everything they have work and strived so hard to have, when they think he has gone in rolls Cash like a bad penny.

Oh my this man is on a one way mission to ruin Bryer’s biggest day of her life. He believes he is the only one for her and no-one will have her if he can’t and he puts a lot of obstacles in the way. Cash has always been the top dog and he is not going to back down with out a final battle to the end.

Will Nathan and Bryer be able to overcome all the crap and push through and will their love prevail and win in the end, you will have to read the book to find out if they have their forever?

I loved all the characters, yes, even Cash because without him you would not see the true character of Bryer and Nathan. The story continues brilliantly from the last two stories and you feel like you are walking there footsteps with each hurdle they overcome. Although I could have drop kicked Cash I do have to throw a lifeline to Cash as he was hurting and although his actions were wrong I do feel a little bit sorry for him, I know I must need my head read lol.

This is the best out of the three stories, well written and the characters are just great I could see me being friends with Bryer and you feel while reading the story that you are with them enjoying the ups and down as you go through the story.

Well done Ms Wine these are the first books I have read from your collection and I will be reading more.

5 Star
And The River Runs Deep: The Cold Case Murder Mystery of Leah Marcus by A.J. Ullman is a intriguing true crime story that had me on the edge of my seat trying to figure out what was going to happen next. From the very beginning I was hooked and couldn’t put it down. While this is my first read by this Author I can definitely say it won’t be my last. This is about the murder of a young teenage girl named Leah , the investigation of her death ,Damon her boyfriend and how he was tried. Ten years later the crime reporter whom worked for the Cincinnati Tribune at the time of the murder decides to re-investigate . It’s one of those books that will have you thinking about even days after you finish. If you’re a true crime fan and even if you’re not I highly recommend this book. I can’t wait to dive into more books by this Author.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

What happens when your life is finally on track and then a blast from the past who you truly loved comes back into your life to threaten everything, well that’s the dilemma Audrey has when Silas comes back into her life to see if the love they had years ago still there.

Audrey has never really forgotten about her first love Silas but when he up and left she was heartbroken but when a chance meeting again threatens to stir all those emotion back up but does she want to go back and put her heart on the line to have it broken all over again.

Silas has thought about the love he lost all those years ago and going back to Atalanta seems the best option to try and re-kindle the love he felt with Audrey but will a secret from his past throw that relationship out of the water or will she be able to forgive him and have want they should have always deserved all those years ago.

I really enjoyed this story, it was full of emotion and a beautiful woven story, I have not read the other two books and felt although the book flowed I would have been better getting more information from the two stories before but that did not deflect from this book, I am greedy and wanted to know more about other characters and Silas and Audrey.

The characters were well developed, you were taken into the story and held all through. The female lead Audrey was sassy and independent, Silas was a great counter to this wonderful female character. I recommend this book and this wonderful story but I would try to read the first two books first just to give some background. I certainly will be reading them shortly.

I really enjoyed this cyber fantasy. It’s about a cyberspy called St. Augustine, who works as an agent for megacorporations, but also for hire for clients like the Orange Lady. But this job is a trap, and it gets personal. I loved figuring out St. Augustine’s backstory and the development of the character. Although the setting itself was a bit confusing in the beginning, there were so many details that really helped me imagine it better. I really enjoyed the overall plot, the side characters, and the fast pace. I’d recommend reading this series in order.

Grace’s Ghosts by Stephenie Wilson Peterson is a very well spun story. Some books you read for the history, some you read for love, and some you read just cause you like a good story. This book is that good story. I could totally identify with Grace, because I have been that odd man out. Eccentricity is rarely loved by the rest of the world. This is a great story for young people but adults will love it too. I know I did! I hope we see Grace and her friends in another story, these characters are way to good to only travel with once.

A High Price to Pay is the second installment in the Madeline Dawkins series by Cynthia Hamilton. This was an amazing book to read and I have become personally possessed with these books and author. You will find crime, murder, and suspense that will keep you on the edge of you chair while you read. In this book you follow Madeline who is doing a simple background check over missing family jewels with her partner Mike. But things took a quick turn when there is now a murder investigation. I have loved Madeline from the beginning but quickly fell in love with Mike after seeing who he was and how protective he is over her.

I have to tell you Megan Mackie has become one of my favorite authors. Saint Code: The Lost (Saint Code Book 1) was a fantastic story. Characters that we were introduced to in Finder of the Lucky Devil make an appearance in this excellent story. With the back story. And with subtle mystery that builds anticipation for more. At first it took me a minute or two to figure out what was going on with St. Augustina, but when I did the rest of the book was a page turner for me. The characters in this story are over the top with personality, and the backdrop, the world the story takes place in is wonderfully bizarre. A lot of books I just read and pass along but Megan Mackie’s books are keepers for me.

This was certainly a great book. I loved the mythology, I loved the history, I loved the idea of someone stuck outside his timeline. In The Labyrinthine Journey (Servant of the Gods Book 2) by Luciana Cavallaro, we follow Evan on a journey that to him seems unreal. All your favorite mythical creatures are here and maybe even some you’ve never heard of, with a lot of the back story on these characters. Gods and historical people alike. I love how the author intertwines some of our own cultural discord into the story. The characters are interesting and intriguing, the world is well described, you can almost taste the salt in the sea. An all-around wonderful story to cuddle up to, well worth your read. I will be reading the next one in this series for sure.

Stepbrother (Step Dilemma Series Book 1) by Stacy McWilliams was a good 4 star read.

I really enjoyed Bailey and Coopers story. They didn’t start out on the best foot but she still found him hot as heck. You could feel the hate between them coming off the pages. My emotions were all over the place for Bailey and everything this poor girl went through. Her parents divorce, she loses someone close to her and so much more. All she wanted and needed was someone to love her and treat her with respect. She had no real parents, which broke my heart.

Cooper, where to start with this one. The way he treated Bailey definitely does not lead you to think that he has feelings for her. His brother was awful as well.

Will Bailey finally find someone to love her?

Overall I enjoyed this read. All of the characters added a great element to the story, however I really do not care for Bailey’s parents or her stepmonster. I was pulled into all of the drama, be prepared to cry here and there. We do end in a cliffhanger and I can’t wait to read the next book in the series. This is my first read from this author and she draws you right in with her writing. 1-click and get started today.

I’ve loved this book from the beginning. I’ve been two books in before receiving this copy of the trilogy. I’m ecstatic as Bryer and Nathan are walking down the aisle as we’re the guests of honor.
As the reader, you’re more than beyond happy for the couple but there are evil forces working to tear them apart. This threatens their forever but will they allow this to deter them from moving forward as husband and wife?
This book is most definitely unpredictable because we all know what it’s like to be knocked off your feet not only by love but by the others that surround us as well. So, in that sense, this one is really original and realistic. As to not give away any spoilers, I’ll keep the intrigue going by not giving away spoilers. It wouldn’t do me any justice to not recommend this book. Beautiful!

Satan's Devils MC Boxset Books 1-5Satan’s Devils MC Boxset Books 1-5 by Manda Mellett
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Manda Mellett most definitely has a knack for writing the most powerful stories through each and every one of these books. These books stay true to the real world that you can hardly tell that you’re reading a book. They all grip your attention so much so that it should be a movie or few.
I love the way Manda Mellett writes because it offers different perspectives and opens your eyes to different outlooks on lives. Great work!
In “Turning Wheels,” we meet the guys of the MC and Sophie, a disabled Englishwoman battling inner insecurities and external forces to get her. Frightened, wheelchair bound, Sophie turns to the club to protect her from those out to get her. Wraith, the club’s vice president, is out to show Sophie she’s more than defined by her disability but other than protecting her, he has to help her overcome her past. This is a beautiful book.
In the second book, “Drummer’s Beat,” this action-packed book will keep you on the edge of your toes. President of Satan’s Devils, Drummer has been unlucky in love but that is until he meets Sam on the side of the road. He doesn’t believe Sam as she’s on a search to find her biological dad who happens to be a member of his very own club. It’s a race against time as Sam gets abducted into a sex trafficking ring to rescue the girl of his dreams. This one will keep you hooked as the romance is steamy and the action is packed.
In the third book, “Slick Running,” we find Ella who used to do favors for the club in her past, found love in the club with Slick but had to leave him behind. When Slick realizes he needs help, he refuses to help her because he’s not ready to forgive. The club owes her and is down to help even Slick who is eager to help as they’re all on a quest to rescue her baby sister from a child grooming ring. This book has it all and it will leave you praying and hoping for the best. I enjoy how Manda Mellett makes every story not only original but true to life.
In the fourth book, “Targeting Dart,” Dart wants to pursue a curvaceous black girl but as she’s preoccupied with her sick loved one of a kid, he can only offer his supporting friendship. Dart’s feelings are put to the test when her violent ex but Dart has to take on unexpected responsibilities with her and also within the club. This book tugs on your heart in a lot of ways as you feel for both characters. I enjoyed the tug of war it had on my emotions and was excited about this read!
In the final book, “Heart Broken,” we meet Heart who is devastated by his wife’s death as he contemplates ending his life to reunite with his wife. That is until one person reached out to save him by relating to his emotional plight but as months pass, Heart regains the strength to survive through this cop but their love is taboo as far as the club goes. This was a romantic book that makes you believe in life and love. Beautifully written.
In each and every book, Manda Mallatt manages to write with intent, such beautiful intent that she captivates her readers. I’ve enjoyed everything she’s written. Great writer! Brava!

A High Price to Pay is the second novel in the Madeline Dawkins series by Cynthia Hamilton. Madeline is pursuing two professions, event coordinator and private investigator. With her life long friend Mike, she stumbles into a murder investigation and shortly after another body is discovered. While all this is going on, Madeline gets news that Rick Yeoman, a man who abducted her three years ago, has been released from jail. With the release of Rick also brings the reappearance of Lionel Usherwood, who is seeking revenge. Yeoman’s body is found in Lake Cachuma and Madeline is Lionel’s next target.

The author did a wonderful job portraying such a thrilling mystery. The story did seem to end abruptly while other less important parts dragged on, but overall I think it was well written. I look forward to reading other stories by Hamilton.

The story Grace’s Ghosts by Stephenie Wilson Peterson is an entertaining and intriguing book to read. It is a story that I found interesting from the very beginning and didn’t want to put it down until I had finished the last page. I loved the character of Grace. She is a twelve-year-old who has the unusual ability to see ghosts. While her life may be a bit strange, Grace is happy with it. Then she is told a secret about the town of Tansy where she lives. From there she is asked to help find a way to break a curse. Will Tansy be able to help the ghosts who reside in Tansy? What will she find out about her family along the way? What will happen to the ghosts in Tansy if the curse is broken? Read this book to find out. Tansy is such a wonderful character. She is intelligent, kind, and caring. I also enjoyed reading about Midnight who is Tansy’s feline best friend. This is a story that will capture your imagination. It is a story that includes magic, magical creatures, mages, and a curse. The book is exciting to read, and you can’t help but root for Tansy to find a way to break the curse on the town. I also enjoyed reading about the additional characters that interact and help Tansy. This is an amazing story that I would recommend reading.

I loved reading the book A Book Signing To Die For: Beach Reads by Judy Moore. It is a cozy mystery that hooked me in from the beginning and I found myself not wanted to put it down until I had finished the last page. I loved the character of Beck O’Rourke. She and her grandmother own a bookstore. Beck has always wanted to be a detective so when a member of the audience at a book signing event ends up murdered, she becomes determined to investigate. Beck soon finds herself with a bunch of suspects. However, someone doesn’t want Beck to find out the truth. Will Beck solve the case before the murderer can stop her interference? There is a new police detective in town. He is both handsome and someone with whom Beck has had a history. What does the future hold for Beck? Read this book to find out. Beck is intelligent, kind, and tenacious. She is not someone who backs down. I also enjoyed reading about Beck’s younger sister Lizzie. While Beck sometimes only sees the differences between them, at times Beck finds that she and Lizzie think alike. This story has mystery, an investigation, danger, and a bit of romance. It is a story that I would highly recommend reading.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I enjoyed this book. It is not my first book by this author but it is one of my favorites. This is an engaging story that pulled me in right from the beginning. It is fast paced which made it enjoyable right along with the characters. I had no problems connecting with the characters. They are strong and supportive which kept me turning pages. This is a story about a bookstore that has an author signing where one of the attendees turns up dead. Beck and her grandmother own the bookstore and they live above it with her sister. Beck decides to turn into a detective to help solve this mystery. I don’t normally read this type of book but I am so happy I picked it up. I think you would enjoy it as well. I highly recommend this book and this author.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is a cute story that I enjoyed. This is a children’s story about Grace and her friends that happen to be ghosts. One day they tell her about a secret the town has. As she searches for answers, she finds things out that could just jeopardize her friendship with her friends. Will she break the town curse before it is too late? This story pulled me in from the beginning. It is a short story that is engaging and would be great for any child. It has some mystery and problem solving that is great. The characters are a little different but they made the story enjoyable to read. I highly recommend this book.
