Forgotten Truth Trilogy: Book One (The Forgotten Trilogy 1)
By Virginia Wine
5 out of 5 stars

I loved reading the story Forgotten Truth Trilogy: Book One (The Forgotten Trilogy 1) by Virginia Wine. It is a story that pulled me in right from the beginning and I was hooked. I loved reading about the characters of Nathaniel James Jr and Bryer Reid. Bryer is a woman who had been betrayed in the past. She is strong and independent however she also finds it hard to trust. She also has a strong attraction to Nathaniel. Nathaniel is a man who doesn’t do relationships. There has been no one that has made him want more than something casual. He finds himself deeply attracted to Bryer. There is both chemistry and wild attraction between Nathaniel and Bryer. They both believe that their feelings are telling them that they belong together. Secrets are being revealed. Will those secrets break Nathaniel or set him free? Will Bryer give Nathaniel her trust? Read this book to find out. This is a story that is at times emotional. It has heartbreaking moments. There are also times of suspense that had me wondering what was going to happen next. There are romantic scenes included. I enjoyed reading about the bantering that goes back and forth between Nathaniel and Bryer. I also enjoyed reading about how the additional characters interacted with Nathaniel and Bryer. Some are good friends and give them advice and support when needed. Don’t miss out on a book that you will not be able to put down until you have read the final page. I highly recommend it.

Kat’s Conundrum (Raven and Hummingbird Book 3) by Nikki Broadwell – Review by Erin Wolf

Kat's Conundrum (Raven and Hummingbird Book 3)Kat’s Conundrum by Nikki Broadwell
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I give Kat’s Conundrum (Raven and Hummingbird Book 3) by Nikki Broadwell, 4 stars.

This book is a good continuation of the story. Throughout the book, Kat mostly feels lost, not remembering who she is or what her destiny is. However, trying to discover these things is not as easy as you would think. Obstacles of all sorts are constantly thrown in her path, and she must decide on her own what to do. Will she do the right thing?

This is book three in the series and you really have to read the first two to fully follow this book. There are a lot of good characters in here. Some you dislike, some need an attitude adjustment, but others you embrace. There are a few whom I really hope to see quite a bit more of in the future. There are many secondary characters in this book and they really are what make this such a wonderful read. The story itself is quite good and interesting too. There are many places Kat travels to, and many things she encounters. Something new is always happening, there is not a moment of boredom. You quite often wonder just what is going on or what will happen next. I cannot wait to read the next book in the series.

If you are a fan modern fantasy, this book and series is for you.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Whoa! So I finished this book yesterday, and i still cant think of the right words to thoroughly express how amazing this story is. Its no surprise that I just am not a big fan of timeline swaps but after a bit I was ok with it as for this story you absolutely need it.
Ok so how do you put into words a review for this, because I want to say it all but then it may ruin it for someone else as they’d feel I told the story here. And I don’t want to be vague and just say “go pick up this book” but for real go get this book, lock yourself away for a day and read it! The characters, the stories, and the feelings! I haven’t been this invested then wrong in a book as many times as i was in this. Twists, turns, secrets and discovery. Its all here. Amazing and I’ll be on the lookout for more from this author!

Bargaining (Hero High Book 3) by Mina Chara – Review by Sheri Schrader

Bargaining (Hero High, #3)Bargaining by Mina Chara
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Bargaining by Mina Chara is the third book in the Hero High series. Friday’s story continues in another fast paced story. Her life is changing rapidly, and she is trying to figure out who is actually on her side. She finds out people have ulterior motives, and she has to figure out what she wants to fight for. Will she make the right decisions?
I have enjoyed these books. They are quick, action packed reads about a young lady who just wants to find her place in the world. Be it she has super powers, but she is still relatable. I really enjoy the characters and the story line. I look forward to reading more in the future from this author.

Enemies of DovesEnemies of Doves by Shanessa Gluhm
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book had me excited from the moment I read the synopsis. I knew it was going to be a good read and I wasn’t let down. I’ve never read a book by Shanessa Gluhm, and I’m so glad I gave this one a go. It was well worded, great plots and even more amazing characters. IF I could give this more than 5 stars I would hands down. In this tale we meet Joel, Clancey, Lorraine, Garrison and Molly. There are other important characters you’ll meet, but these are basically our mains. Part of the effect this book had on me was because it’s set in two different time frames. Joel, Clancey and Lorraine are whose lives we are in when the time setting is 1940’s. Then we jump to the 1990’s with Garrison and Molly. This book has it all- Love, loss, bad guys, plots to keep you interested and so much in between.

This is a nice short story. We follow Lilandra and her attempts to get the Seal of Solomon. We run across humans, vampires, werewolf’s and half-giants.

The deeper she gets in her investigation the more dangerous it becomes but she is close to finding the killer. Will she survive long enough to find them? The action will keep you turning pages and the vampire will heat them up. I highly recommend this book and this author.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Sex-O-S: The Tragicomic Adventure of an Italian Surviving the First Time
(The Italian Saga #4) by Gaia B. Amman was a great 5 star read.

We start where we left off in the previous book. This is Leda’s story told in her POV about her first time and the emotions that she deals with, among other things. Nico is Leda’s best friend and the man she has feelings for. Problem is he’s not always nice to Leda. Can she get past the trust issues?

There is so much more to this great read. Leda grows up to be a beautiful young woman and we get a great final book in the series. We get all the teen issues, eating disorders and so much more. My emotions were all over the place, I was laughing and crying at times. We get lots of great characters that added a great element to the story. If you’re looking for a great coming of age series with wonderful characters this is the one for you. 1-click and get started today.

Amman is a very gifted storyteller which is further evidenced in this installment in her Italian Saga. I anticipated a very interesting exploration of a poignant time for most and I was certainly not disappointed. I love the added layer of a foreign (to me) culture and upbringing. Very richly detailed and some great characters. Recommend reading this in series order for best understanding.

I have enjoyed the Raven and Hummingbird books. I’m pretty sure Kat’s Conundrum, Raven and Hummingbird book 3 by Nikki Broadwell, is my favorite so far. Kat and Bran are quite interesting characters, and in this third book MS. Broadwell paints even more character into their personalities. Not only theirs but even the supporting players in this little tale. The new characters she introduces are no less interesting. Wonderful, rich worldbuilding, and not just one, the many dimensions that Kat has access to are well described and artfully crafted. I love this book and the ending was so perfect. This is a story you won’t want to miss.

Satan’s Devils are back again and better then ever. Hawk and Olivia have known each other since they were babies. They were close then became involved. There was distance and now they are together. I love the characters in this story. I love reading about them. The book kept me entertained and found myself reading one more chapter to see what happens.
It’s an emotionally challenging read. A lot happens and you will find yourself dying to see what will happen next.
I thought this book was a great read and look forward to more in this series. You definitely want to read this and once you do, I think you will enjoy this book as much as I did. What will happen when Hawk makes a big decision? Will Hawk and Liv be able to be happy or will something get in the way? Such a great read!

If you are a fan of stories about Motorcycle Clubs, Hawk’s Cry, Satan’s Devils MC – Next Generation Book #2, by Manda Mellet will not disappoint. There is of course, what you would expect from a motorcycle club, adult language, rough men, tough women, and detailed action. But, the deeper story here is the most compelling thing about this book. It’s a story about losing yourself and how slowly that sneaks up on you, until you’re so deep in the hole you can’t get out. As quietly as it sneaks up on you, sometimes even the ones we love don’t see it coming either. Eli is so lost he doesn’t have the slightest clue how to find himself. Don’t just surface read this one, this book deserves more than that.

At first I wasn’t sure I’d like this book but it didn’t take long before I was engrossed in the story. Families can can have secrets that entangle them for life.

As Garrison Stark starts researching where his grandfather came from and what happened, he meets his grandfather’s brother Joel. Joel is in jail for murder and Garrison has a feeling Joel is hiding something important.

The back and forth between 1932 and 1991 can be tricky but Ms Gluhm does a wonderful job of it. I would recommend this book to friends!

The books in Carrie Pulkinen’s New Orleans Nocturnes series get better each book. Life’s a Witch is the third book in this series and even though it can be read alone I recommend reading it in order. Crimson is a witch, but she cannot do spells correctly they constantly backfire. SO, when she is threatened, what else do you do but challenge the person doing it. Unfortunately, this is someone who she cannot beat and ends up making a deal with Mike the demon. What will happen after she makes this deal? The way this author brings to life her stories and characters is amazing. I couldn’t help but fall in love with both Crimson and Mike and rooting for a hopefully HEA. I could not put this book down it was such an addictive read.

So since joining the gold team the producers of the show seem to like her more but she knows she’s still being watched. Friday feels like the weight of the world is on her shoulders, things with Jonathan are rocky and she’s a bit overwhelmed with it all.

Lucifer's Emblem (Celestial Academy, #1)Lucifer’s Emblem by Sarah Biglow
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

5 stars!
Lucifer’s Emblem is a fun read. I really enjoyed the storyline and how Lucifer has a daughter, Zuri. The friendship between Zuri and Damian is beautiful, he would sacrifice not only his future but himself to save her. He also has her back when it comes to lying to her father, but it is funny that he really can’t keep any secrets from the king of hell. Zuri and Miryam’s relationship is weird for me. I can understand why Miryam is so sheltered and annoying and I also understand why Zuri would be frustrated with her. It was nice that they both formed a sort of bond and friendship and by the end, Miryam was willing to sacrifice herself to save her new friend. By the end the group of friends defeated Beelzebub and saved the world from the apocalypse, but there is some tension with Miryam and her boyfriend Chris and Zuri. It seems Zuri may have developed feelings for Miryam and I am hoping in the second book we get to see their relationship grow more romantic, because I agree with what Damian says, in that they have something special.
Definitely a great read, I would recommend to paranormal lovers and romantic lovers alike, and can’t wait for the next book.

This is an amazing story full of twists and turns that keeps you guessing and I unable to put the book down.

This story follows two lifes. One of two brothers Joel and Clancy. The other follows Garrison who believes he is the grandson of Clancy.

Garrison is on the hunt to find Clancy to find out of he is really his grandad however things arent straight forward as Clancy has disappeared from the face of the earth. So he starts going back trying to trace Clancy. He starts by learning about Joel who is currently in prison for murder. But did he do it?

Clancy and Joel have always been close and Joel has always been there to get Clancy out of bother. When something happens that leaves Joel scarred for life neither boy talks to explain what has happened. What are they hiding or covering up.

Fast forward and their dad is found murdered. Joel is arrested and charged and Clancy vanishes. Are the brothers still keeping secrets? Is Joel still looking out for Clancy? Is Joel the one who murdered there dad?

Its a rollercoaster journey from the first page. I loved it.

I remember when I first read book 1 in the series I wasn’t sure I was going to like it – a book about bees – but I was pleasantly surprised so when I saw book 2 I wanted to see where the author was taking the story and again I enjoyed it. It’s still not the type of book I would normally read but I really like the author’s detailed writing, it is very vivid and descriptive. I actually think I enjoyed this story a little more than the first, the characters were great to read about and follow their adventure and the story had quite a few layers to it which I enjoyed. It tied in well to book 1 and definitely answered some of the questions that I had in my head after I had finished it!
A great read that I highly recommend! Book 1 needs to be read first.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Sex-O-S: The Tragicomic Adventure of an Italian Surviving the First Time is the next book in the Italian Teens series by Gaia B Amman. It should be read following Forget Nico, in order to get the backstory. The whole series follows Leda, an Italian teenager in a coming of age story. Leda is a teenager now and has experienced her first heartbreak and big breakup. Now she is on to her first long term, serious relationship. She is torn between being a “good girl” and experiencing sex like her friends. She struggles with acceptance and love, and many aspects of her relationship. She is dating an older boy, and with that, comes it own struggles. I love that it is based on a true story, and is brutally honest, relevant to the age of the characters. It deals with real issues girls this age have. Including crushes, love, loosing virginity, pregnancy, and eating disorders. Despite the heavy topics, it is done in a tasteful way that keeps the reader interested but not upset. There are a lot of emotions felt throughout this book, from the characters to the reader. I highly recommend the series and have been thoroughly enjoying it.

Seriously Carrie Pulkinen has done it again, with another brilliant addition to the New Orleans Nocturnes Series.

This time we follow Crimson’s story, just like the other two reads in this series, it’s fast-paced, captivating, funny and addictive to read. Carrie Pulkinen has a way with words and a way of connecting you to the characters. Connecting to these characters make you totally invested in their story and you can’t help but feel as though you are on their journey with them.

What I didn’t expect from this read was how brilliant the connection and chemistry was between Crimson & Mike. I love watching their connection grow and see them working together.
Another thing I loved was that we still got our main characters from the previous two books to make an appearance as secondary characters in this one, I love having follow-ups of them!

For this being a short read you are never lacking in the storyline, I absolutely loved this read and I love this series.

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

Satan’s Devils MC Boxed Set Books 1-5, by Manda Mellett. These are the first 5 books in one of the BEST MC Series that I have read.

Turning Wheels
We first meet the MC when they take in Sophie who is on the run from a very dangerous man who caused her to lose part of her leg in a hit and run. Thinking that she isn’t a whole woman and no one would ever see her in a sexual manner, Wraith most definitely ends those thoughts. The entire MC comes through and makes her feel safe and protected. This story was full of emotion, suspense and hot, sexy alpha males. Definitely one of my favorites.

Drummer’s Beat
Finding a stranded motorcyclist on the road to the clubhouse, Drummer isn’t sure what to expect. Being the President of the club, he has to take all the precautions he can to protect his men and their families. Drummer doesn’t ever see himself settling down, then Sam comes to the club, looking for her father. Will he be able to protect her from the evil that is trying to take her from him? This book was definitely filled with emotions and suspense. Another amazing book!!!

Slick Running

Targeting Dart
Alex is in Tucson, living with her sister, after fleeing an abusive husband. With no job and no way to make money, she auditions to be a dancer at Satan’s Angels, the strip club owned by the MC. She isn’t the typical type of woman that usually dances at the club. When Dart finds himself wanting and needing to help Alex out, he isn’t sure if he can be more then her friend. He knows he has feelings for her but he vowed to never settle down. When her ex finds her, Dart knows then that he can not and will not let anything happen to her or her son.

Heart Broken
Wow. This was definitely an extremely emotional one….. Heart has not only lost his wife but he lost his way. He isn’t sure what he wants anymore. He is mad, an emotional wreck and just needs to get away….. I don’t want to give much away but is it possible for an outlaw MC member and a law enforcement officer to come together and can they make it work??? Will they end up saving each other?

This entire series is one my ABSOLUTE favorites. My go to rereads!!!!!! I love Ms. Mellett and I look forward to much much more from her!!!!

The Seal of Solomon – Lilandra’s Reeves Adventure (Supernatural Intelligence Agency Book 2) by Nadine Travers – Review by Jenni Bishop

The Seal of Solomon: A Lilandra Reeves Adventure (Supernatural Intelligence Agency: World Book 2)The Seal of Solomon: A Lilandra Reeves Adventure by Nadine Travers
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The Seal of Solomon: A Lilandra Reeves Adventure (Supernatural Intelligence Agency Book 2) by Nadine Travers is a paranormal story and is a very quick read. I was confused in the beginning because I was sure I had read it before but what I quickly realised is that the first book in the series started the same way just told by a different character. Once I realised that I settled into the story and the action and danger, lies and deceit, hope and emotions. Nadine has created a world where shifters and witches, and a whole lot of different magical beings’ dwell but each must live in their own sections. Some are fighting to keep the magical items away from those who seek to use for harm and others are fighting for a cause that is full of lies and deceit. I enjoyed the story but wish it was longer.

3 ½ Stars

The Seal of Solomon: A Lilandra Reeves Adventure (Supernatural Intelligence Agency: World, Book 2)) is by Nadine Travers. After reading Blood Rebellion (Book One), as well as getting a snippet for this book at the end of that story, I was really anticipating reading this book.
Let me start by saying that I absolutely love the cover- even if I hadn’t read Book One, I would have snapped up this story just on that cover alone.
As with the previous book- this is an urban fantasy- with supernatural elements, action, adventure, suspense, drama, danger, intrigue, and mystery. It is fast paced short story, which makes for quick and easy reading. Like book one, I really wish this book had been longer- as I would have loved to have been able to immerse myself in the story more. This is a super quick and easy read- but I felt the story may have had more of an impact if it had been able to fully ‘develop’ with more length to the plot.
I did enjoy this story, and feel it is the pick of the series, so far.
Looking forward to reading Juniper’s stories!

Thank you, Nadine Travers.
