How (Stalker Series, 3)How by Megan Mitcham
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

When a crime scene photo breaks the Internet, an admirer turns pursuer, but how far will one FBI proxy go to rescue her loved ones.
FBI Special Agent Libby Irish seeks validation by outsmarting her male counterparts on the job. After unraveling a weapons ring, she finally believes she’s gonna get her due. That is until a revealing picture of her in front of the arsenal goes viral and she’s under the media’s radar but puts her as a joke to her fellow coworkers. If that’s not enough, Libby is receiving random letters from a secret admirer, an untamed cat attacked her plus someone has been sneaking into her house repositioning everything in there. That’s enough to make any girl go insane.
All the while speculates her gorgeous but lunatic of a next door neighbor. When devastation hits his home, he lends a helping hand to help the agent find her pursuer but she winds up seeing there’s more to her neighbor than meets the eye. Once the stalker becomes more audacious, the two must work diligently to destroy him before it takes a dangerous turn.
This book will most definitely keep you on your toes with the twists, turns and unexpected plus romance along the way. This is the third of this standalone series that will keep you hooked on this mysterious collection. I say collection because none of these books leave you without wanting more. Great reads, every single one because you can’t pick up one without starting another.

How is the third book in the Stalker Series by Megan Mitcham. Libby Irish is an FBI Special Agent that kicks ass. She knows she works in a male dominated profession but she is determined to not let her sex be a weakness. There was a case that a fellow agent was not able to crack but she did, which lead to the downfall of a huge weapon ring.

She suspects it might be her mysteriously handsome neighbor but he experiences a tragedy of his own. This leads to Libby seeing a different side of him, and they are determined to figure out who her stalker is. Megan Mitcham has not failed in this third story. She portrays yet another strong female lead in Libby. This story is full of suspense, thrill and romance, I just couldn’t put it down.

4 Stars!!!!

I adore finding new authors. This was just right up my alley although not my usual genre but I love anything with the middle eastern theme. I found this book to be a breath of fresh air. The book is just rightly balanced with drama and just the slightest hint of romance.

I really loved that it was full of wonder and had a djinn after all what middle eastern theme wouldn’t be complete without it. I loved the steampunk theme as well. The way that it brings the old with the new and entwines the British and Arabian cultures as well just brings so much to the book. I loved all the characters and was just glued to the book. I will definitely read more from
the authors in the future.

Be Brave With Me (Finding Love In Green Springs Book 1)Be Brave With Me by J.B. Havens
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Be Brave With Me by C.A. Miconi is the first book in the Finding Love in Green Springs series. This is such an emotional story that will have you cheering on the characters all the way through.
This is a completely new author to me so I didn’t know what to expect when going in to it. I figured it would be another sweet, small town romance with the usual happy ever after.
Instead what I got was a book so packed with emotion that I found myself laughing in one moment and then crying my eyes out the next. The characters are what draw you into this book – they are both so broken and yet both so close to something new.
This is a brilliant book that I would highly recommend as well as a brilliant new author to explore!

TorchTorch by Tricia Copeland
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Torch by Tricia Copeland is the second book in the Lovelock series I would recommend reading this series in order as it continues on from book one, with the same characters and story line.
This book is a fantastic follow up to book one. I was transported back into Jema’s world so quickly and easily. This book was as exciting and fast paced as the first one. I couldn’t wait to find out what was going to happen.
If you are a fan of this genre then I would definitely recommend you try this series. It is well written, exciting and have characters that are so easy to get behind. I am enjoying this very much and can’t wait to see what else might be to come.

By Tricia Copeland
5 out of 5 stars

I loved reading the book Perfect by Tricia Copeland. It is a romance story that pulled me in from the beginning and didn’t let me go until I read the last page. I loved reading about the character of Chloe. She is a young woman who is driven to succeed in the fashion industry. She is intelligent and independent. She also finds love and romance knocking at her door. Will she find her happy ending? I liked reading about Chloe and felt that the author does a wonderful job in developing and making her a character that I grew to care about and wanted her to be happy. The story is told from her POV. There are lighthearted moments that made me smile. This is a story about life and romance that you will not soon forget. I also enjoyed reading about the additional characters in the book that Chloe interacts with. This is a story that you will not want to put down once you have started it. I highly recommend reading it.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Both Sarah Biglow and Molly Zenk were new author’s for me. I do like this genre quite a bit and I wasn’t disappointed in this book at all. Great plot and characters. This story has us meet Zuri who is Lucifer’s daughter and Miryam who is the daughter of Archangel Michael. I fell hard for Zuri, she’s strong, independent and smart. These two get together to help get back a stolen relic. Throughout the telling of this adventure you meet other archangels, as well as other creatures. The difference between Lucifer, Satan and beelzebub. It gives a unique spin on the Fallen and the Archangels. I can’t wait for the next installment.

This book was action packed and full of love, betrayal, death, treasure and magic. It’s a good story and I will take this book as a lesson to read things I normally wouldn’t from now on.

SPOUSE TRAP: Madeline Dawkins Mysteries (The Madeline Dawkins Series Book 1) by Cynthia Hamilton – Review by Lianne Probert

Spouse Trap (Madeline Dawkins, #1)Spouse Trap by Cynthia Hamilton
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The Spouse Trap is the first book in the Madeline Dawkins series, and I think the author got off to a flying start.
The story starts with Madeline in a hotel room, unable to remember how or why she is there. After photographs surface Madelines world begins to crumble, she not only doubts herself but she can no longer trust anyone. Determined to find out the truth Madeline searches for answers.
You really feel for Madeline, especially at the start when there is so much hurt and confusion. The book is packed with emotion throughout and you are really rooting for Madeline that she gets the outcome she deserves.
I really enjoyed this book, the author let’s you know from the beginning where the story is leading, but there are plenty of twists throughout to keep you hooked. I really enjoyed the pace of the writing. Books with lots of action can often leave me behind, but the author packs in lots of description and scene setting which I love.
I would recommend this book, I haven’t read anything by Cynthia Hamilton before, but I’m looking forward to the next book in the series.

If angsty YA themes with romance thrown in are books you enjoy, this one is definitely for you. I cannot say that I expected the twists throughout the book but I will say Christensen did a great job generating a storyline with well developed characters and a plot that everyone can at least in part relate to. I found this to be an engaging read and a book I easily finished in one sitting. Recommended.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Finding Leda by Gaia B. Amman a four-star read that you will find easy to read. This is number five in the Italian Saga and number one in the Italian Teen series, but I will be honest I haven’t read them in any real order and I have enjoyed it like that as its like dipping in and out of someone’s life at different times, so its great when I feel like reliving my younger self I can dip in here and see it through someone else’s eyes and almost see where I went wrong and right. In some ways these novel feel like growing up with a friend, and reading them is like chatting about old times, and like some friends they tell a good story at the start and the end but in the middle they get a little wanderlust and drift a bit but manage to pull it back in to get it all back again.

The characters are well defined and easy to relate to. Siri and Miry makes great foil to one another, which is why the story works. This is a great YA Paranormal read, and I highly recommend it.

5 Stars

Another amazing addition to this series. I have come to love this author and the writing style I’ve experienced in these books. This one had me paying attention with every word I read. It included everything I love in a story and took me through all sorts of emotions.

I think this might be my favorite of the three, the suspense had me on the edge of my seat and the twists, totally out of left field, I did have suspicions and thought I had a couple things figured out pretty quickly but the ride to the end I could have never predicted. I also love how there is just enough romance, just enough LOL moments and even a few that had me wiping my eyes.

I seriously loved this book and can not wait to revisit all 3 in this series and read them all over again back to back!

Grab it, heck grab them all, you will not be sorry!

Zuri is one of a kind, I like how she sees her farther and I like how it shows us a different side of Lucifer one never portrayed. There is a lot of action to this story and drama to keep you hooked, but most of all it has Zuri at the heart and she plays a great role in this story. There are great secondary characters that bring the story to life like Miryam and some that will frustrate and surprise you. This is a great start to the series and I cant wait for more.

Torch by Tricia Copeland a four-star read that will shine a light for you. This is the second story in the Lovelock YA Dystopian science fiction series and it picks up after the first so its likely best you read them in order I have and I enjoyed them both that way. This was startling real at the moment as the first story revels a world after a flu wipes out most of the population and now its back, this story is about how the powerful few control how they cope with this second wave and how power controls. Jema is a great character and she will take you on a rollercoaster of a ride that will have you clinging to the story by you fingertips.

How by Megan Mitcham a five-star read that will have you questioning how this author can ever beat this story. This is number three in the Stalker series and in my eyes it’s the best of the three and I loved number one and two, it could easily be read as stand-alone, but I have loved them as a series as I have loved the world building, it really has encapsulated me totally. Libby Irish is a fiercely independent and she reminded me of myself in some ways, the independence and the fact I could have shaken her a couple of times, the joys of hindsight I suppose. But overall, she was just a great character that I couldn’t get enough off, and I am not the only one. This had elements of something else in it, Libby’s story in places sounded familiar but the overall story blew me away and kept me hooked.

Charli has given us a story that has a little bit of everything for you to fall in love and hope beyond hope that they get their HEA. It’s a bumpy road they travel but what is true love if there isn’t twist and turns.

I loved this story. Even though it was a quick read it had plenty of emotion. Crystal, who just received news from her doctor, decided she’s going to have the time of her life at her best friend’s destination wedding. Crystal is a very independent woman and she is not looking for a relationship right now because she knows she’s going to have to deal with her medical issues when she gets home. Spencer who has always been seen as the nerdy friend has had a crush on Crystal for quite some time and she’s about to find out. This book had me laughing and tearing up, and of course swooning over Spencer. I became completely invested in these two wonderful characters, there are also wonderful supporting characters in this story. The author wrote this book in such a way that it touched my heart.
