Crime Lord’s Captive (Crime Lord Series Book 1) by Mia Knight – Review by Liz Vrchota

Crime Lord's Captive (Crime Lord, #1)Crime Lord’s Captive by Mia Knight
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I have to say I am kicking myself majorly for not finding the very talented Mia Knight sooner than just now. Crime Lord’s Captive is my first time reading anything of hers but I can tell you since I have finished the last pages I have added all of her other works available to my TBR list and purchased everything for this series! (MEGA bonus for this novel’s cliffhanger! It’ll take a tiny bit of that sting out of the pain 😉 ) Now, just a small heads up this does tackle some sensitive subjects of abuse and if that isn’t your thing or it is a easy trigger point maybe don’t read this, but I can tell you that Mia does a fantastic job of writing about the subject with class and couth. Everything had a place and a reason, never written strictly for that shock value and I loved that, So maybe that will help you in making your final decision about whether you could handle the subject matter. To me this was completely worth it!

This seems to cover a lot in one book, but not enough in the same time, hence why there is more and a cliffhanger warning lol. I love how we are completely given the entire picture here of the dynamic from an outside point of view. We see how Gavin is the ultimate Alpha male and stalker, obsessed with his love and determined to have her no matter the cost or danger (even to her) but we also see how it affects and plays on Lyla’s life and where she is. I love that in these type of psychological twisty novels. This is a master cat and mouse game between Gavin and Lyla, and I freaking loved every single deep dark and twisted moment of it. I can’t wait to get my claws into the next one and find out how that cliffy turns out! Thank you for this fantastic read Ms. Knight!

The Crime Lord’s Captive (Crime Lord Series Book 1)
By Mia Knight

This book drew me in from the beginning and kept me captivated throughout. This story was action packed, suspenseful, steamy, dark and emotional. I loved every minute of reading this book. I couldn’t put this book down until I got to the end because I needed to know what was going to happen and because I became so invested in this story line and the characters. Lyla and Gavin are characters that had my emotions going up and down the whole time I was reading. This is a great read that you will not want to miss out on! I highly recommend this book and I cannot wait to read the next one!

Rainy Day Lovers (The Rocklyns)
By Alicia Street

Rainy Day Lovers is the third book in the Rocklyn series by Alicia Street. Don’t normally read a book that’s already book three of a series as I always wonder what I have missed out on. On saying that this book is a nice quick read, with amazing characters. I liked the characters of Roman and Raina, but the secondary characters in my opinion were just as good. Alicia has given us a heart warming, contemporary love story, a story that flowed perfectly from page to page. I do recommend that this book is read and I hope you enjoy it.

Seraphina’s Awakening by Sheena Hitchinson

Five Stars

How much would you be willing to give up for someone who doesn’t know you? Nate has been given a task. This task is like a demotion to him but the most important task to the world. Sera is awakening into a part of the world she never knew existed. I really enjoyed this story. It gave me a break in between the hot sexy billionaire stories. I liked the unique twist the author put on this story. It made it more interesting. Nate made a choice without knowing how Sera would chose in the end. I’m also excited that you get both characters POV. I love books that come in a series. You get a lot more about it and the time you get learning about the characters. You definitely see more growth and comprehension in books that have series.

Infamy (Feisty Lawyers Book 2) by Seelie Kay – Review by Liz Vrchota

Infamy (Feisty Lawyers, #2)Infamy by Seelie Kay
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Seelie Kay is back at it with another saucy short and sweet installment in her Feisty Lawyers series. I loved the first one, Snatching Diana, and even though it is said these could be read as stand alones I would highly recommend that you read them in order and completely. They are short enough and fantastic so why not? Once again I felt as if I was in one of my favorite primetime crime shows, swept into the daring and dangerous drama that comes up with fighting terrorists and more. I won’t divulge much more than that because it would spoil all the good parts, so for that you will have to one-click this gem and devour it yourself! You won’t be disappointed that you did! I can’t wait to find out what will come next in the Feisty Lawyers series. Thanks for another great read Ms. Seelie!

Seraphina’s Awakening, The Seraphina Series Book One, by Sheena Hutchinson

5-Stars

Seraphina’s Awakening is the first book of the Seraphina Series. It features Angels Demons, and those who can read and sense spirits and auras. The storyline is easy to follow and moves quickly. I loved following Seraphina as she begins to experience such drastic changes. I also loved Nate’s character and how he is introduced. There were also many excellent supporting characters such as Amanda, Seraphina’s best friend, and Jack, the coffee store owner. They each allowed me to see different parts of Seraphina’s characters and how much she cares for her friends. I sincerely look forward to reading more in this series!

The Light at Dawn by K.L. Montgomery – Review by Michelle Austin

The Light at DawnThe Light at Dawn by K.L. Montgomery
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The Light at Dawn was a heart wrenching and emotional 5+ star read.

I was pulled right in from the beginning. Angelia and her family go through a tragedy that no family ever wants to experience (Ugly cry moments started instantly). We watch her world come crumbling down around her. We jump ahead five years Angelia is now a single mom who is traveling around and speaking on gun violence.

Mark see’s Angelia at a bar and quickly gets pulled in by her. They end up having drinks and they discover they are both on opposite sides of the right to bare arms. Angelia quickly leaves but can’t get Mark out of her mind. A little time passes and things take a tragic turn for Mark and once again my ugly cry came out. Angelia reaches out to Mark about the tragedy she doesn’t realize it had affected his family directly, her message came at the right time for Mark.

Can these two help heal each other? Can they have a HEA?

There is so much more to this very emotional read. There are things that make you really think about your views on this serious subject and see both sides of the spectrum. These two came together in an unexpected way and helped each other through. I loved the ending, it couldn’t have been more perfect. Be prepared for some twists and turns, K. L. Montgomery does a great job of throwing some very unexpected things in to make the book even better. All of the secondary characters were great, I actually would love to see more from this couple and extended family. A MUST read for sure, have the kleenex handy.

The Perfect Duchess (The Macalisters, #2)The Perfect Duchess by Erica Taylor
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The Perfect Duchess by Erica Taylor is the second book in the Macalister’s series. This can be read as a standalone easily but some of the characters carry over from the first book. This story set in the Regency period and tells the story of Andrew Macalister and Lady Clara Masson. The two have a complicated past but have known each other since childhood. Lady Clara has been away from the social scene and comes back to horrible gossip while Andrew is recovering from her twin sister had stood him up at the altar in the past.
I like both characters but especially Clara. She has a great strength to her and she is determined to right the wrongs that have taken place. I also enjoy historical fiction and especially this period. The story is interesting and kept me reading to see what would happen to the characters. I look forward to book 3 in this series.

I loved this book. It is a little dark in places but it is a hard to put down book that I read in one sitting. I loved how it pulled me in from the first word. It took me on an emotional roller coaster that I had to have more of. Charlotte has a dark past which has caused her to put up walls. Hawk is good at hiding his unhappiness behind his cold demerer. Will they be able to break into each other’s hearts? They are great characters with strong chemistry. Their story is a must read.

Caught in Make-Believe (The Caught Series Book 3)Caught in Make-Believe by Sharleen Scott
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

A great read about the past.Jace Colton returns to Angel Beach after five years to try and rebuild .the life he lost. While there’s he meets the bubbly Samantha and is attached to her even though he won’t be staying for long. He falls for her but his past rears its ugly head. Can he put the past behind him for a new future?
A great read. Well developed plot. Well developed characters like Jace cold and harsh but kind underneath or Samantha trying to keep positive despite being unlucky in love.
I loved the visual detail throughout the novel in the sense of a small town with the beach and the bakery and small streets for a homely feel. Or in Emily’s house with the starfish and shells for a sense of the seaside and a conforting feel to the place.
The use of suspense was well written and drawn out to perfection to make you keep reading to find out what happened in the past..I also liked the use of blog entries into the story to portray Jaces thoughts and struggles for the journalistic feel which was a lovely touch. Overall, a great read and I would give it four stars

The Monster's LoverThe Monster’s Lover by Samantha MacLeod
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Sol’s father was killed during the course of his work and now the rest of her family has nothing to offer the king as payment for their land……except her. King Nøkkyn has a harem and no one really hears good things about it.
When he comes to inspect Sol to see if she’s good enough to be payment, Sol can immediately tell that he is cruel. She wants no part of him or his harem but without her as payment, her family will not survive the winter.
She escapes into the woods and comes across a strange man who is so unbelievably beautiful, she can only assume he is a demon. Fenris seems to take a liking to her but with Sol only has a short amount of time before the king comes to take her away.

I love almost everything to do with Norse mythology and this immediately caught my interest. I’ve already suggested it to several friends and will be reading the second book. The world building is fantastic and I need more

Hard as Steel: Book Four (“Surviving Series”) by Virginia Wine – Review by Angelina Frazzini

Hard as Steel: Book four (Hard as Steel: Book four by Virginia Wine
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Hard as Steel by Virginia Wine is book four of the Surviving series. This series should be read in order to get the full story. Many of the characters are ongoing and overlap from previous books. This book is intended for readers 18+ due to some content. This book has quite a bit of suspense, I found myself reading quicker just to see what would happen.

Steel Archer is like the ultimate alpha. He protects what matters to him and those he cares for. He’s the strong, silent, independent type. Steel has walls around his heart but he may have met his match in Nicole Lancaster. That is until he works a job that has him helping Grace. Grace is a lost soul and romance may not be in the picture for her in the near future. Who will be Steel’s match?

There is so much emotion in this book. It is written so well you can’t help but feel what the characters feel. I can’t wait to see what the rest of this series holds.

The Light at Dawn by K.L. Montgomery. I have read many many books by this author and I can honestly say that I have loved every single one of them. This book was the total opposite of her previous books but it is definitely a must read. This book was heartbreaking and you will go through at least a box and a half of tissues. How do you overcome the loss of a child???? You don’t, you just hope and pray to be able to survive. Hoping to find someone or something to get you through an extremely dark time. When you dive into this book……. be prepared for the tears to come and not stop. Definitely worth reading!!!!

Movie Star by Pamela DuMond is the second book in the 21st Century Courtesan series. This series really needs to be read in order as this book picks up where the first left off.
This book was a brilliant continuation of the first. It was as intriguing and enthralling as I would have expected.
There isn’t really much I can say about the book without giving away but unloved Evie just as much as I did first time round. Each book just adds more to this series and is helping to create a fantastic escape from reality. This book is certainly worth reading.

I was in supernatural heaven. I really love books with Nordic legends. This book was quite a refreshing read. I like how the author was able to bring the characters to life. The pages just melted one right into the other and I couldn’t put this book down.

I felt that the pull between Sol and Fenris was indeed magical. I really felt myself going through the emotions with Sol. I found myself at the edge of my seat to find out what would happen to Sol. The fact that her family had such a hard choice they made. I found my heart in my throat till the very last page. I will certainly be reading more from this author and this series.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The Light at Dawn by K.L. Montgomery is a stand alone contemporary novel. This book does contain sensitive subjects and you may need tissues to make it through but this book is worth it.

I don’t want to say too much about what happened in the book because I don’t want to give any of it away. It was seriously amazing. I didn’t really know what I was getting in to but I’ve read other books by K.L so I figured I’d give it a go. I got so much more than I bargained for and in an amazing way. It touched on a very tough subject and the debate surrounding that but didn’t shine a negative light on either side of the debate and is seriously thought provoking and very emotional. This book is the epitome of an emotional roller coaster. I’m not sure I’ve ever experienced so many things while reading a book. If I had a list of books that I could pretend I didn’t read so I could go back and read it for the first time again, this book would be on the list. This book should be on everyone’s to read list!

4 Stars

Nothing But Trouble is the first book in the Irresistible Billionaires series by Ashley Bostock and the first time for me reading this author. A sweet romance with engaging characters, this first book has an easy flow that keeps the reader turning page after page.

Michael Vilander is sitting on top of the world. At least the business world. With his highly successful business of matchmaking, you would think it would be easy for Michael to get dates. Especially to the Valentine’s Day charity ball that happens every year. But with no date around and time ticking down, what’s a guy to do but use his own company to find a date??

Sophia Baldwin has put her life on hold. Caring for her ailing grandmother and dreams of attending college to get her nursing degree mean that she doesn’t have time to date the “normal way”. Color her surprised though when chatting with one of the matches on the dating website she signed up for lands her a date to one of the poshest events in Denver. She never dreams she’d meet Michael and she certainly never dreamed of what would happen next. Can these two overcome obstacles and mistakes to find their happily ever after??

Ms. Bostock writes a wonderful story that makes reading this book fun and enjoyable. With a witty writing style, good characters and some good sub-characters, Ms. Bostock turns out a sweet romance that is easy to read.

The Light at DawnThe Light at Dawn by K.L. Montgomery
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The Light at Dawn By KL Montgomery Is a book that will truly rip your heart out, tear it to shreds, stomp on it, and then slowly put it back together. This is the first book that I have read by this author and I was not prepared for all of the emotions that it would make me feel. I found myself crying, laughing, and wondering about the world around me. This book is about so much more than one story it is about grief, heartache, overcoming all of the obstacles that life may throw at you, and at the end of the day love.

This book will make you feel emotions that you didn’t know you could feel. I could not have chosen a better first book to read by this author than this one. While it does deal with sensitive issues the author does a brilliant job of making sure you have no idea where she stands on the issue itself. You can tell that the author did an immense amount of research and portrayed the differences In a very humane and compassionate way.

One of the key things that I feel the book shows that maybe it wasn’t intended Is something that I think is so needed in today’s society. This author showed that 2 people or 2 groups can be on opposite ends of an issue, but still care about each other, love each other, and continue to make the world a better place.

I could not put this book down from the time that I started it until the time that I finished it and I don’t believe that you will either. The one warning that I would give you Is to make sure that you have your box of tissues prepared.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

What can I say, I fell madly in love with this series from the get go. Liberty is one of those characters that is completely relatable and you have no choice but to love her on site.

Her new job is a reporter and unfortunately its not all cracked up to what she thought. Chandler, the guy she’s supposed to shadow runs everywhere which prove to be rough on her shoes. Not only that, but he sneaks off without her. The girls in the office don’t necessarily like her plus she crushes on doesn’t seem to notice her.

These book are seriously addicting and completely relatable. I’m impatiently tapping my foot for book 3!

Best Foot Forward is the first in the Liberty Lawrence series by Bea Stevens. This was such a light – hearted, fun, enchanting, perfect binge read for the weekend book. I was completely captivated from the get go and was so excited to jump into book 2 next.

She is the junior manager at a London hotel where her boss’s office has had a theft. She’s quite positive she knows who it is but the hot as all get out detective doesn’t really care what she has to say about it.

There was not one thing I didn’t love about this book. Miss Stevens did a beautiful job setting up the building blocks for this series and I’m dying for more!

There is a lot right with this book and nothing wrong with it.

This review may contain spoilers from book 1.

Evie is a courtesan with high dollar clients. She is empathic and uses these powers to heal broken men. Her newest client is Jake, a very popular movie star. But he is the toughest client she has had. It is so hard for her to find the root of the problem. Plus he keeps running away, making it almost impossible to do her task. Can she get to the bottom of it and heal this broken man? At what cost to her?

This is a wonderful book. Jake is a great man, but hurting so much. Evie just wants to make this great man better. I have liked Evie from the very beginning and this book shows her growing into who she wants to be. But she still has so many struggles, both from the past and the present. There is so much more going on than just Evie healing Jake. I could not put the book down and cannot wait to read the next one. I actually liked this book better than the first one.

This book can be read as a stand alone, but I do recommend reading book one to get the complete story.

Salvation: An Ash Park Prequel Novella by Meghan O’Flynn shows us just where the Ash Park series began. When Edward joined the military, he knew what he wanted and needed to calm the things around him and then one night his life comes crashing down when he finds his love, his life Heather killed. Slowly things don’t make sense about her murder and when another body is found he then knows that Heathers murder was not an isolated attack. Edward now must take decide if he ruins his career to bring justice to the one he loved and along the way finds he’s not the only one who wants justice for these killings.

This Novella was really a way to get into Edward more, and he is a character that has stayed with me since reading the Ash Park series. Being able to read what drove him and his need for justice kept me still wanting more and more. Meghan O’FLynn truly is an amazing story teller, attention to detail, and her words that drag you right into story and don’t let you go. She kept me guessing to the very end and again we learn that in Ash Park not everyone is innocent!!! Five stars again!!!

Bound (The Torzial Affair Book 2)Bound by Via Mari
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Bound is the second book in the Torzial Affair series. You should read the previous book first to get the full picture. It ends in a cliffhanger.

Where the previous book focuses more on the budding relationship between Jenny and Brian, this book focuses on the danger elements surrounding Jenny. I found this story very…busy, I guess is the best way to describe it. There is a lot going on and at times it seems like a little too much. I kept up with the story line, but it seems like there was a bunch of action crammed into a small time frame.

I also found Brian to be a bit of a jerk in this story. He talks about trust, but the way he handles some of the stuff with Jenny, well, he’s expecting a lot at certain points in the story. But it is fiction so…

Bound has plenty of action and steamy scenes. A good few hours of entertainment.

The Monster’s Lover by Samantha Macleod features the Fenris wolf from Norse mythology. He is one of the main characters as well as his lover Sol. We meet Sol at the start of the novel when she is basically sold to King Nokkyn to make up for her family’s failure to meet their quota. She is given until the reading before she will be added to the Kings harem. I hated that she would have to face this and how her mother began to coach her on things to do to keep the King happy. She meets Fenris in human form after she is attacked by a group of men from town and embraces the short amount of freedom she has left. The passion between Fenris and Sol was heartwarming and exciting. Sol seemed to come out of her shell with him and I fell in love with the two characters. I can’t wait to continue to follow their story. This was such a quick and easy read! I loved it.

Hard as Steel: Book four (Hard as Steel: Book four by Virginia Wine
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Hard As Steel is the 4th instalment in the awesome Surviving series by Virginia Wine. Each book can be read as a stand-alone. As characters from previous books make an appearance in subsequent books and the fact that this series is so damn good, I would recommend that you read all the books in the series, and in order, to get the most enjoyment from the series.
In Hard As Steel we get the story of ex-army, now member of PI Securities Steel Archer and FBI agent Nichole Lancaster. We are introduced to these 2 characters in a previous book and you always knew that if they got their own book it would be hot and fiery, and by God it certainly lived up to my expectations.
As well as the fiery budding romance between the 2, this book has so much going on. There is a very detailed and intricate plot that will keep you gripped. This book pretty much has it all, it’s a hard hitting story with a great deal of intrigue and suspense and you won’t want to put it down.
In this book we are introduced to Grace, a beautiful young woman with a harrowing story to tell. The next, and final, book in this series will concentrate more on Grace’s story and I can’t wait to read it.
