Deadly Alliance: A Fortis/Purgatory Crossover NovelDeadly Alliance: A Fortis/Purgatory Crossover Novel by Maddie Wade
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Deadly Alliance is a crossover novel between India Kells Purgatory series and Maddie Wade’s Fortis series. It is a prequel novel bringing together these 2 amazing group to form a new alliance. I am a huge fan of both India Kells’ Purgatory series and Maddie Wade’s Fortis series, so when I discovered that they were working together to create a crossover, to say I was excited, is a bit of an understatement. There is no way that anything they would work on together would be anything less than amazing and I was so right. I loved this book so much and can’t wait to read more of this series.
In this book, the 2 teams have got together to find a serial killer who has been killing female members of the military in both the US and UK. One of those killed was the sister of former Navy SEAL Shane Rhodes’ best friend. Now working for Purgatory, Shane is determined to catch the killer. The plan is to work undercover with Emme Wallace, a Fortis agent, pretending to be a married couple to bring the killer out. Needless to say Shane and Emme didn’t see eye to eye on anything, which only got worse as both started to fight growing feelings towards each other.
This book is very fast paced, has fantastic characters and an amazing storyline that grabs you straight away and takes you on a roller coaster journey filled with mystery, suspense, danger and heart break. I was pulled right into the story and couldn’t put it down, devouring the whole book in one sitting. If this prequel is anything to go by then this is going to be an epic series which I will read over and over.

Hope (Feisty Lawyers Series Book 4) by Seelie Kay

5 Stars

I love this series so so much, and since they are all quick short reads I can’t wait to go back and read them all back to back.

This author’s stories just flow so smooth and are always full of content without the wordy fluff thrown in. I can always expect action and edge of my seat reading and I love that.

Hope was simply awesome. She was tough as nails in a small package and was living her dream of being part of the agency, a group of lawyers that were all about setting things right in the world even if it meant making it happen when the law couldn’t. Hope was a genuine Bada** and seemed to beat any challenge sent her way, until her past creeps up on her and her first real assignment doesn’t go as planned.

I love how all the characters weave in and out of these stories and this one left me more than curious about what is to come.

Loved it, I would recommend reading them all in order just to get the full benefit of all of who you are reading about.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I enjoyed this romance suspense story that had me turning pages fast. This is my first book by this author and I enjoyed how she was able to pull me in right from the beginning. This story had twists and turns that left me sitting on the edge of my seat waiting to see what would happen next. Can two partners work together and still have a relationship? Lily and Dillion will show how easy it is or not as they work an assignment where they could lose it all. I highly recommend this book.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Hope is the fourth book in the Feisty Lawyers series. There are characters and situations from the previous books mentioned in this story, so it would be a good idea to read the other books first.

Out of all of the books I’ve read in this series, this one is my favorite in regard to writing style. It flowed nicely and it kept a consistent pace for the most part. The first part of the book focuses more on Hope’s development as an agent, whereas the latter part of the book focuses on her in the field. I think the one part that I didn’t care for so much was the catty way the women came across in the Epilogue. The way the story is left it seems like the series might be taking on a new dimension. It will be interesting to see how it develops.

Hope by Seelie Kay a five-star read that will drag you into the drama. This is number four in the Feisty Lawyer series and I would recommend you read them in order as they all build a great story and add to the overall suspense of the world. Hope Ali has a story that will suck you in and not let you go until the last page so be warned don’t start this unless you have time to finish it. This was a great story proving just because you are called Hope doesn’t mean you always have it. But it doesn’t mean you wont ever find it.

Hope (Feisty Lawyers Series Book 4) by Seelie Kay. I have loved this series. I suggest you read them from Book 1 just to get a basis for the stories. I love Seelie Kay so when I see her name I usually can’t wait to read it. This book was no exception. Once you start this book you won’t want to put it down. Its the story of Hope Ali who with her father came to the US seeking Asylum. They settled down in a small Wisconsin town hiding from those after them. She excelled in school and finished Law school by the time she was 21. After college she joined the Agency which is an elite group of attorneys who go undercover to right wrongs the law won’t take care of. Its a dangerous job but its Ali’s dream job. The only problem with this dream job is someone wants her to lose hope and they will stop at nothing to succeed. This book will keep you in the edge of your seat.

Chicken Scratch (The Sisters, Texas #1)Chicken Scratch by Becki Willis
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Chicken Scratch is the first book in Becki Willis’ mystery suspense series The Sisters, Texas! The writer makes you sit up straight and take notice from Chapter One when the heroine of the story finds a body in a chicken house! Just try NOT to picture and smell it in your head! It was my first read by the writer and I can promise you that you will want to go back to The Sisters again and again after finishing this mystery story about a dead chicken farmer!
The story takes place in Texas so the writer could have given us loads of stereotypes but instead she gives us a bunch of delightful characters that you will want to go back to and spend more time with! Madison, her spunky grandmother Bert, best friend Genesis, her former crush aka chief of police Brash, her two kids and let’s not forget about the fireman Cutter! I can just imagine what the writer might come up with; she has given herself a bottomless cast of characters and we’d be lucky to read any of their story!

That first kiss??? The way she described what she was feeling to what he was doing? Wowzer! That. Is. Awesome. I really enjoyed this book. He is the ultimate BadA**. He is a SEAL, strong, sexy and protective….also a bit possessive! This is my type of guy! Lizzy is a fun gal. She seems to be strong and is confident. Who else can walk into a bar/dance area alone and not be confident in their self.

I wasn’t a fan of the quick ending. I wish there was a bit more closure. Overall I liked the story. It has a nice flow to it and It was fun and sexy. Plus there is Brody ?

From The Ashes (Ashes to Ashes, #3)From The Ashes by Rowena Holloway
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

From The Ashes – a gripping psychological thriller (Ashes to Ashes Book 3) by Rowena Holloway is an enthralling and engrossing read. I enjoyed the other two books in this series but I really loved this one. Just when you thought you had it all worked out, BAM Rowena sent us careening down a different route. This cleverly woven tale lives up to it being a gripping psychological thriller in every way.

Charlotte has lost it all and has decided to take a job that is so far out of her range of skills but is also rewarding. But it is also fraught with lies and secrets, love and loss, danger and murder. It is a veritable of whodunit. Ever the journalist inside, she sets about and uncovers secrets of Blaxon Hall.

This is a quick but good read and before you know it, it has ended but not before you try to puzzle out the thrills and spills. This is a must read. I look forward as always to more from Rowena.

A Cowboy Under the MistletoeA Cowboy Under the Mistletoe by Susan Fisher Davis
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

A Cowboy Under the Mistletoe Anthology by is a collection of Christmas Cowboy stories by 6 great and talented authors: Susan Fisher Davis, Leslie P. Garcia, Melissa Keir, Debbie Desmarteau, Stephanie Berget and D’Ann Lindun.

A Cowboy for Christmas is a sad yet heart-warming tale where Reid returns home after being away for a few years and finds himself face to face with the one person who woman who hates him and blamed him for the death of his best friend. What he finds is that opposite of what he was expecting and something that will change all their lives. It is beautifully written and will make you believe in love.

The Cowboy’s Christmas Hand is a lovely romance with a little suspense where we see a Ty returning to her childhood home, but everything has changed. The hardest thing she has ever done is come face to face with the man she once loved, a man that broke her heart. Church Trenton never knew why the love of his life walked away from everything they were to each other. Now that she has returned will he ever learn the truth that is if they can keep everything, they love safe?

Tempting the Cowboy is a story of addiction and pain and how you are only ever one step away from stepping back in to the life of an alcoholic but also one step away from stepping out when you receive a little flirtation. Both Johnson and his wife Debra know what it is to be an alcoholic, but Johnson has just lost his friend and sponsor which sends him in to self-doubt.

A Different Kind of Gift is a heart wrenching but beautiful story where Destiny has come to town to take over her grandmother’s shop as she is very sick. When a stranger enters the shop one day little does she know that he may make all her dreams come true. That is until Nickolas’s ex comes back to town, with a surprise hell bent on reclaiming what she sees as hers, with a surprise in tow.

Saving a Cowboy’s Christmas is a story that will cause a little heartache and where Drew’s life has been turned on its head by the woman he has loved forever, but is now really showing her claws. He is home trying to mend his broken heart when he comes across an old friend, who needs his help but it too proud to ask. Gina doesn’t need a man and certainly not the man who has decided to step in to her life.

Noah’s Christmas Faith is the story of Faith who avoids relationships like the plague. She does not want to get hurt so avoiding them is the best way. However, that doesn’t seem to work out so well when Noah seems to be working his way into her heart. Now all he has to do is prove he is trustworthy.

I love Christmas stories, and a box of six stories containing Christmas cheer and sexy Cowboys is right up my alley.

Sweet and Quick

They say don’t judge a book by its cover, but I think this book is the exception. The story is exactly as the cover conveys. It is a sweet story about a dog and her purpose. Oh sure, that’s not how the book is actually written but I just know that this is Maxine’s story. Fine, Fine, Fine… June and Graham have a meet cute and blah blah blah. Can we talk about the dog now?? Great Danes truly are magical and Maxine is one of dreams. Oh, so June and Graham … Hahaha I’m joking

I really enjoyed this quick read. It is a sweet romance about not judging a book by its cover. In this case, though, it is a person named June. June is much more than her dowdy look would lead on. She is strong and brave and beautiful.

The story is sort of a modern day fairy tale and I absolutely recommend it. It is a good read for young and old alike.

Lost in CarmelLost in Carmel by Terri Lee
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Lost in Carmel by Terri Lee is a raw and realist look into the life of a Hollywood star. It is engaging and brings to the surface many demons that I have fought in my own life. There are certainly a few tears to be shed as the story was very powerful for me. The life of a Hollywood film star looks glamourous from the outside but that is after we have seen the polished version in the magazines or films. Have you ever wondered what lurks beneath the surface of that smile, what their life is really truly like? Well Terri gives a look at what that is like and does not sugar coat it, all the dirty laundry is out there for all to see. I love the main characters and especially the best friend, he cracked me up each and every time. It is also a very passionate read that grabs you in the heart.
Natalie Hampton a Hollywood it girl and America’s Darling, has been in the business since she was a young girl. She has seen it all, she has done it all and the world is her oyster. That is until it’s not. That is until it takes her to a dark, dark place. That place in the world where you wonder just who exactly you are. A place where you look at yourself in the mirror and go “who are you?” A place in the world where you have fallen in the dark hole and cannot see a way out. It is also a place that you start from to find the real you that has been so long forgotten. A place where you can learn to re-love yourself, to find your self-worth. A place from where you can find real love.

Rome is a beautiful and relaxing metropolis and I could picture vividly the words and world that Terri created for this wonderful story that left me captivated and reminiscing.

Matt’s Swirly World: Children’s Book by Madeleine Matthews. This book does have a great idea behind it. I found it easy to follow and enjoyed it. The illustrations were engaging and my nephew liked them, he also followed along nicely and liked the story. I’m glad I picked this book up for my nephew, we had fun reading it together and he took something away from it I believe. If you’re looking for a story that’s got a great lesson behind it also I definitely recommend this book. I’ll definitely be sharing this story with more of the children in my life.

The Crown of Stones: Magic-Price by C. L. Schneider – Review by Angela Hayes

Magic-Price (The Crown of Stones, #1)Magic-Price by C.L. Schneider
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

 

Magic Price is the first book in The Crown of Stone Series by C.L Schneider. It is a really well thought out and intricately woven, action-packed high fantasy- with sword fighting, magic, adventure, intensity, drama, originality, brilliant world building, surprising developments, intrigue, suspense, and so much more. I loved Ms. Schneider’s Nite Fire Series, and I am a sucker for epic fantasy, so it was a no brainer when I discovered this series- grabbing a copy and immediately diving in. The story is darker than I had initially expected, with a raw grittiness that really gave this story an extra element of interest. It is also a very imaginative and original take on epic fantasy- especially with the lore of magic being so unique to this book/series.
Ms. Schneider brilliant world building skills are really highlighted here- as the world is ‘alive’ and entirely realistic and believable- so richly painted with attention to detail to all the different races, histories, and culture/s.
Ian Troy is a bounty hunter living a life of self-imposed exile. Living with the ghosts of the past which haunt his days and invade his nights. He single-handedly ended a war- but has been paying the price ever since. But when the past returns with a new threat against him, the land, and his people- Ian has no choice but to wield magic again. There is much at stake- but what will the price be this time?
This is a fantastic story/series- really is epic, intriguing, unique and very creative. Ms. Schneider proves her storytelling prowess with this book and series.
I really recommend this book/series to anyone who loves an epic, action-packed fantasy!

Thank you, Ms. Schneider!

This was just a real good feel good story. In Hang on To Your Shirt Tails, C.A. King gives us a family story. Brodie and Tails are just trying to raise a family. And what teenager doesn’t think they know everything. There are so many things going on in this story you just must keep turning the page. From rebellious teenager, a son that is having massive changes going on in his life, and a desperate desire to start new life, this story mixes it all up and then stirs it with the stick of shadows of the past. Shadows without mercy or compassion. Quite a bit of suspense and several surprises. A laid back tale to enjoy.

“Just because there are no walls doesn’t mean it isn’t jail.”

CA King is a one click author for me based on name alone.

HANG ON TO YOUR SHIRT TAILS is Book 2 in the “Chasing Tails” series. Book 1 lays the groundwork and I think it is important to read this series in order.

This story is about racism, a caste system, “genocide”, family of choice, acceptance, love and solution based problem solving. This has fantastic action, surprises and was a great read.

“I didn’t get to where I am by trusting people.” I totally trust this author to take me on a journey in every book.

This is a quick read that I absolutely recommend.

☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆
I recommend this book to all who love action and romance within the same book. Please read the first 3 books in this series. They flow so nicely together.

Hope Ali and her father came to the U.S. seeking asylum, at the young age of 16. She was determined to get an education as well as college done. By the age of 21 she had completed school and had joined the Agency. Training was tough, but she completed it. I found her to be so incredibly strong. Hope is amazingly smart and can hold her calm, when faced with danger.This all I will tell you. You need to read it to believe it.

Seelie Kay has done it again. This her 4th book in the series, was absolutely packed with action. Her book will suck you in on page one, and keep you there until you turn the last page.Her characters will have you dawned into her story. I like to read the series all at once. Seelie Kay has written one of those series you will want to read over and over again. Nicely done Seelie Kay. I look forward to seeing what you write next.

Deliciously Sinful Liaisons by L.M Mountford
4 out of 5 stars
This book collection is one hot and sizzling collection. Each book is just as hot as the last and each one will leave you wanting more from L.M Mountford.
Each of the seven stories in this collection are different that the last and the variety of the stories is a breath of fresh air as you are immersed into a new story each time with new and complex characters that bring life to each of the short stories. The story line, plot, and characters are very well developed. The paragraphs and sentence structures are full and flows from one to the next. The pace was neither hurried nor too slow. The author kept pace with each one while seamlessly transition from one story to the next. Highly recommended for lovers of romance and binge readers!

PigsPigs by Daniel James
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Pigs by Daniel James is a great thriller. He has created a great plot line for his characters. James also created complex-complicated characters. He shares his characters back stories and builds from there. This story is a page turner/roller coaster ride. Just when I thought things were going to the right, it takes a sharp left and back to the right again.In this story is about Isaac Reid who has served time because of a robbery of a family who was left for dead. All Reid wants is to get back to his wife and young child. Reid just wants to be a normal family but that my friends is where the plot thickens. Will he have is happy reunion or will there be revenge in his future? You will have to read the story to get the answer to that question.

Draigon Weather (The Legacies of Arnan, #1)Draigon Weather by Paige L. Christie
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Draigon Weather is the first book in The Legacies of Arnan series by Paige L Christie. This story took my mind to a different plane. This story is about Leiel and Cleod. Leiel is a marked woman and according to the town she is a tainted woman. She will be marked when Draigon Weather returns. Cleod is a friend of Leiel. Cleod is in a higher class and was able to join the Ehlewer Enclave. Cleod and Leiel are from different paths of society. Cleod vowed to avenge Leiel’s mother but will he be able to keep is vow to Leiel and the Ehlewer Enclave? Leiel is seeking knowledge that could have killed her mother. Will Leiel share the same fate?

Paige Christie is a mastermind story teller. This story is a coming of age story which fits in with the YA genre. The plot is magical and keeps going in directions that threw around a bend I did not see coming. This story is also told in two different POVs. Christie does this effortlessly and was able to follow along with the characters and their stories. I highly recommend this story to anyone who loves fantasy stories. I cannot wait to read more from this author.

Diamonds & Deception (Karina Cardinal Mystery Book 3) by Ellen Butler – Review by Angelina Frazzini

Diamonds & Deception (Karina Cardinal Mystery, #3)Diamonds & Deception by Ellen Butler
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Diamonds and Deception by Ellen Butler is book three of the Karina Cardinal Mystery series. This book has a little bit of everything. It’s got danger, mystery, suspense and so much more. This book can be read as a standalone but for the full experience – recurring character introductions and backstories – I encourage you to read the first two books.

Karina is fiercely independent and recently her friend Mike has taken their relationship from friendship to relationship and they seem to have hit a rough patch. Karina is determined not to call Mike for help however she seems to attract trouble. When her sister calls her to help a friend, this time doesn’t seem to be any different. Karina and Jillian find themselves deep in a mystery that leaves them with a lot of questions. Will Karina call Mike for help when trouble inevitably strikes?

This book was enjoyable to read. It has a pretty quick pace and let you wondering what was gong to happen. I recommend it!
