Hang On To Your Shirt Tails (Chasing Tails Book 2)Hang On To Your Shirt Tails by C.A. King
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Hang On To Your Shirt Tails (Chasing Tails Book 2) by C.A. King is a paranormal story that had me glued to the seat and devouring it in one sitting. The story is easy and an extremely quick read. I really enjoy CA’s stories and this one is no different. I love the main characters and what they are trying to do.

Tails and Brodie who are hiding to keep themselves and the children safe by living in isolation. They have to give up all they have built to keep one safe from coming into his power and another that causes a chase that leads to the enemy, which may also lead them to a haven.

I am anxiously awaiting the next book

This collection of four novellas is a quick read for romance lovers. I wasn’t sure what to expect other than something a bit unexpected. The situations were unique and the characters were intriguing.

From The Ashes: a gripping psychological thriller (Ashes to Ashes Book 3) by Rowena Holloway – Review by Angela Hayes

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

 

OMG Charlotte has been through quite a lot since we first met her back in book one. This series has taken me on quite the journey, and have all led to this point. I have loved each book, but I definitely think Ms. Holloway has left the best till last.
From the Ashes is the third, and final book in the Ashes to Ashes series by Rowena Holloway. It is an intense psychological thriller that will tie you up in knots with the tightly woven and twisty plot. I was on the edge of my seat for most of the story- scrambling to read as quickly as I could so I could unravel the mystery, and put all the pieces together, before the final reveal. But, I had so many scenarios running through my head- Ms. Holloway twisted and turned the plot so well that I was left guessing right till the end.
I loved the gripping suspense, psychological ploys, clever mystery, dramatic developments, heightened tension, and intense danger which Ms. Holloway managed to imbue her story with. She definitely knows how to weave a great tale, and keep her readers glued to the pages.
I was both excited, and a little sad to get my hands on this book- as I really wanted to continue Charlotte’s journey, but at the same time I knew that this would be the concluding chapter. So, it has been a bit of a bittersweet experience.
Charlotte Ashe is the main character , whom we have met in the previous book/s- and she enters this story having her life turned upside down. She’s been through so much- at the cost of her career, reputation, credibility, friendships, and even to a degree, her self-respect. She has one ‘play’ left- and she throws herself into it headfirst. Her continuing obsession with Tyrone Gardner leads her to Blaxon Hall, a private ‘clinic’, where her journalistic senses recognise the threads of a story. She needs this story to pan out, because she’s got a lot riding on the outcome. Charlotte uncovers some mystery surrounding the recent deaths at the hall- and this is where the story really ramps up in intensity and interest. Charlotte couldn’t possibly predict the ensuing events- placing herself in incredible danger along the way. What will she sacrifice in order to get to the bottom of this investigation? Because when a fire breaks out at the hall, Charlotte is one of the missing people, What happened, you ask? Well, I don’t want to spoil it for you- so I really recommend grabbing yourself a copy of this fantastic thriller, and discover all the gripping developments for yourself.
WOW… this story is definitely a clever, edge of your seat read- and as I expected, is another great story from Rowena Holloway. I really can’t wait to see what she does next!

Thank you, Ms. Holloway!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Supernatural Love Stories in the Absurd: Four Book Collection by D.P. Payne was certainly some unique little tales. Very easy to read, and each one a very different story. Romance and really weird happenings is the common thread here. My favorites were Spirited and Loched. In Spirited the enchanting Margot has been haunting her last place of employment for more than a hundred years. When Blake buys the house to renovate it, he gets a lot more than he bargained for. There is some sexual situations that some may find offensive, but all these little stories are quite unique with new little twists on some old legends.

I enjoyed these four stories. They are a collection of supernatural stories that have some steam and adventure. There is something for everyone in this set.

Supernatural Love Stories in the Absurd: Four Book Collection by Gwyn McNamee writing as D.P. Payne was an excellent collection of various types of romantic supernatural love stories. These different stories were addictive and I was hooked at the start of each one. Each one had magnificent characters and fun settings. The author’s creativity really shines through with these stories.

My favorite story was the one titled Loched. It features the Lochness monster and had amazing scenery. The characters Bryce, Ainsley, and Ewan were wonderful. It definitely featured a whirlwind Romance tied into an event from long ago that brought on a curse.

I absolutely loved this group of books. I feel it would appeal to a varied audience. I highly recommend it!

Stalking the Stalker (Valley View Mysteries Book 2) by Laura Hawks is engaging and mysterious. The story is well written and nicely paced. There are a lot of characters and any one of them could have done it. It is a whodunnit detective story with lots of lies and deceit, secrets and drama, stalker and murder. One woman’s crazy and lies that could be true and one murderer that you didn’t see coming.

If you want something to read that will keep you glued to the pages, then give this story a read.

Hope (Feisty Lawyers Series Book 4) by Seelie Kay was an excellent action packed romance. There is so much wrapped up in this short book that it was hard to put down. It can easily be read in one setting. Although the story has a strong focus on Hope, there are a lot of things in the previous books of the series that lead up to a lot of detail with this story. Hope has grown up a lot since she was originally intr6and is training for special ops herself. Someone from her long ago past surfaces and a lot of crazy things happen. I loved how strong willed she was and determined her character was. It was definitely a fun read following Hope and I believe this is my new favorite book in this series. I highly recommend it!

There are four different stories in this book and each one less expected than than the last. The consistency in the tone and steam factor definitely keep you turning pages.

“The first thing you need to understand is there are powers and forces in this world most humans don’t know about or or believe in.”

This is a terrific set of stories. Each story is about the size of a novella and features a different set of main characters. The common thread that ties them together – supernatural love and super hot sex.

I was able to all four books in one night.

I absolutely recommend this boxed set.

I completely enjoyed this set of stories! Supernatural books are one one of my favorite genres and this did not disappoint.
I am thoroughly intrigued by the use of less common supernaturals such as the wending and a pharaoh, but surprised and pleased with how they worked into the story nicely. Cursed, the story of pharaoh Wyre was probably my favorite because I am always interested in ancient Egypt and mummies. I also really enjoyed Loched, because who would have thought the Lochness monster could turn into a hunky man?
All four stories are equally as nice, all are very sexy and have a wonderful story behind each curse or legend. I would highly recommend this for any supernatural romance lover. Very nicely done!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I give Hang On To Your Shirt Tails (Chasing Tails Book 2) by C.A. King, 4 stars.
**This review contains spoilers from book one. **

Tails and Brodie are now living peacefully in the middle of nowhere, away from everyone to keep their adopted children safe. They are happy, but they know this peacefulness cannot last forever. When issues and discontent arise with their children, they are put back into the path of danger. Their goal is to keep their children safe — at all costs. They will do whatever it takes, but little do they know just how dire the situation is. With some help from unexpected places, can they escape? What is the price they have to pay?

I really enjoyed book one and was interested to see where this book would go. It went in a different direction than I was expecting, focusing more on a couple of the children than just Tails and Brodie. I liked this idea, it showed me things from a different perspective. Of course, the parents still play major roles too, so you don’t feel like it is a completely new series. I like the growth shown in the characters, especially the one child (I don’t want to give anything away, so I am withholding names). The story itself has action almost from the beginning so you are pulled in right away and kept in suspense until the end of the book.

Not a very long book, it shouldn’t take you long to read it. There is so many possibilities with future books, I anxiously await the next one. If you are a fan of urban fantasy, I highly recommend this book and series.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This collection of stories is a good way to pass a couple of hours. The first three felt more like short stories, but the last one is a bit longer. I like the use of a wendigo as a character because you don’t see that very often. The spin on the mummy’s curse is a bit different as well.

The title is apt, because you will have to suspend belief for some of it, lol. But, since I read it during Halloween season, it seems right in the spirit of things. Also know that there are plenty of steamy scenes. ? The only thing I had a difficult time with was the collection that Chastity had. The bottles…Gag! That does not belong in the refrigerator beside the food. LOL!

Overall, I’d say this collection is a fun little reading jaunt to spice up your Halloween…or any day, really.

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

Rowena Holloway has quickly become an author I can’t get enough of. I have been devouring her books a lot lately and the latest for me, From The Ashes, has to be one of my top favorites of hers. Holloway knows how to write some psychological and twisty suspense. I often feel as if my emotions are put through the ringer each time I embark on a journey with her books. I was on edge from the very beginning until that last bittersweet chapter. I can’t say enough good about the world building and attention to detail that is ever present in all of Rowena Holloway’s novels.

From The Ashes is book three of the Ashes to Ashes series, but they can be read as stand alone novels. I highly recommend that you read them all anyways! We get the story of Charlotte and she has a trippy road to take in this novel. Charlotte is a journalist seeking the truth about some questionable deaths at the Hall. As she starts to find things out and the closer she gets to the truth the crazier things seem. Just as they build to a head a fire leaves Charlotte among a group of missing people. I can assure you this one will have you reading just one more page, or till I figure this out, well past your bedtime! I know I was up well into the night because I just had to know what would come next. I can’t wait to see what will come next from the ever talented Rowena Holloway!

A wendigo. An ancient cursed pharaoh. A haunted brothel. And the Loch Ness monster.

There’s something for every paranormal romance lover in each of the four books in the Supernatural Love Stories in the Absurd series.

If you want to laugh, cry, and need to change your panties, check out these unique paranormal love stories.

PARCHED (book one)

A wendigo controlled by a curse. An insatiable mystery woman. One sexy, crazy ride.

Greed. For the last 4,000 years, it’s been my curse.

Every day, I live with the repercussions of the terrible choices I made.

I thought I’d seen it all…then a black aura crosses my path.

The beautiful woman it belongs to sends my world into a tailspin.

She gets under my skin, hypnotizing me with her adventurous and kinky nature. I almost forget I know nothing about her.

Thinking with the wrong head can certainly get a man in trouble, but in this case, it could mean an end worse than my curse.

CURSED (book two)

A cursed pharaoh. A determined archeologist. Three days to find true love.

The dank depths of the Egyptian ruins reveal something I’ve been searching for my entire adult life—the tomb of the mysterious pharaoh, Nebtawyre Mentuhotep IV.

And somehow, the sexy king steps from his sarcophagus very much alive.

Lust soon overpowers reason as I fall down the rabbit hole with Wyre.

He claims me completely—my mind, body, and soul.

We only have three days to break a 4,000-year-old curse placed on him by his crazy ex.

If we don’t, he’ll return to his tomb and take my heart with him.

SPIRITED (Book three)

A haunted mansion. A sexy ghost. A contractor determined to fix both.

Buying and renovating the old plantation house seems like a great idea. The fact that it’s supposedly haunted by the spirit of a murdered prostitute is a minor oversight.

I don’t believe in that crap anyway.

But after a late-night rendezvous with a sexy spirit elicits a very real nocturnal emission from me, I have to rethink my belief in poltergeists…and love.

The intoxicating woman who has been trapped here for over a century casts a spell over me with her humor, courage, and passion.

I have to do something to free her from her ethereal prison.

But will my actions break her metaphysical chains, or will they release something darker into my new home?

LOCHED (book four)

A legend under the surface. A woman obsessed. A destined love.

Returning to Loch Ness means coming home in more ways than one.

The monster exists. I’ve seen him. Visions of the beast haunt my dreams and waking hours.

I need to get back to the loch. To him.

When he rises from the water again, I watch him shift into a sexy Highlander right before my eyes, and everything I think I know evaporates.

He’s so much more than I imagined.

A magical attraction between us leads down a path of ancient curses, family lore, and to an unmistakable love.

But will it be enough to keep him human, or will he return to the murky depths with my heart?

Hang On To Your Shirt Tails (Chasing Tails Book 2) by C.A. King – Review by Angela Hayes

Hang On To Your Shirt Tails (Chasing Tails Book 2)Hang On To Your Shirt Tails by C.A. King
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

 

Hang On to Your Shirt Tails is the second book in the Chasing Tails Series by C.A. King. This is a fantastic paranormal fantasy- with adventure, action, danger, shifters, good vs evil, romance, family, loyalty, determination, survival, hidden agendas, drama, and mystery. It is a very well written, intriguing, and engaging story- as I have come to expect from Ms. King. The characters are quite complex, fully developed individuals with their own unique personalities, quirks and flaws- and written so well that they were entirely realistic and believable.
I really recommend reading Book One before beginning ‘Hang On to Your Shirt Tails’- as this story continues from the first book, and a lot of world building, character introductions, backstory, and other important information is contained there- which I think you should know to fully understand and appreciate this story.
This is a short story with a fast pace- which makes it a quick and easy read. I was drawn into the story right from the start- and was fully invested in the characters and the outcome of their story.
After the events in book one, Brodie and Tails found themselves with an insta-family, and so retreated to an isolated area, for the safety if afforded them. It has been a steep learning curve for all of them- and being so isolated has created issues of its own. Soon their safety is threatened, and they are forced to flee. But as we discovered in book one, shifters aren’t given a warm welcome in this world. They are going to have to become quite strategic and form some alliances if they are to survive the days ahead. But who can they really trust?
Such a great read, and I can’t wait for book three to continue the adventure!

Thank you, Ms. King!

When I first read the synopsis of this book it didn’t really resonate with me. So, I passed it by on one or two occasions. One day when I just didn’t have anything else going on, I picked this book. And WOW I am glad I did. I have to say I am well and truly hooked into this series. In Beneath the Fallen City: The Omni Towers Series, Book 1 Jamie A. Waters has given us a world that is so well described you come away feeling like you are as familiar with that culture as you are your own. The two cultures in this book are meticulously described and so well fashioned. Kayla is tough, tough, tough and stubborn to boot. Right away you are sucked into wondering what could produce a young woman so hard-headed, and you just keep reading cause, you gotta know……right? Carl our hero of this story……or wait……maybe it’s Alec you just won’t know until you pick this one up and immerse yourself into the ruins and the Omnitower.

Run from Love: A Bowser Belles Sweet Contemporary RomanceRun from Love: A Bowser Belles Sweet Contemporary Romance by Teddy Cat Hester
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book is about Scarlett and Nick. Scarlett has a 6 month rule. It’s long enough to have some fun but, not long enough to have to meet each others coworkers and family. Nick is really into Scarlett and knows his 6 month expiration date is on the horizon. When Nick is required to attend a dinner date with the partners of his firm, he knows he has to show up. Nick is up for a promotion to become partner and is told to bring his girlfriend. He’s afraid to ask Scarlett because he knows she is just looking for an excuse to end their relationship. When he convinces Scarlett to go, everything goes great. Nick couldn’t have asked for a better outcome.
Scarlett also ends up meeting Nick’s son. She tries hard to distance herself from Noah but finds it impossible. Especially when her two dogs Daffy and Dilly love him so much.
Will Nick be able to convince Scarlett to throw her 6 month rule out the window and just be happy with him and their relationship? I thought this book was such a sweet read. I enjoyed reading this book and was glad it kept me interested from the beginning till the end.

Duke and Patience were amazing. From best friends to lovers. I absolutely loved it. They both had some huge struggles a long the way but were able to find their own happy ending. Patience had a lot of things happen in her life while Duke was absent. She stayed strong even though things were bleak. I highly recommend this novel and look forward to reading what is next in this series.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

A great read about trouble. Karina Cardinal is trying to stay out of trouble after a row with her boyfriend. But life has other ideas when Sadira, a friend of her sisters, is accused of stealing a lot of diamonds from the jewellery sshe works at. Events unravel and Karina finds herself ina search for the truth. Can she uncover the truth?
A great read. Well developed plot with twists and turns. Well developed characters like Karina cautious but still wanting to help or Jillian as loyal and determined. Great cast of supporting characters like the austere Bernard or the supportive Jessica.
I loved the visual detail throughout the novel like with the fashion catwalk at the start with bright and colourful dresses with sights and sounds as vivid it’s as if you’re actually there. Or the big house later on with the fairy lights and trees and flowers and the wide stairs for a sense of elegance and luxury and beauty. Wonderfully written.
I liked the use of suspense with Sadira and the diamonds with details revealed slowly to make you keep reading to find out the truth with Karina. Fast paced action and high stakes made for a captivating read. Overall, a great read and I would give it five stars.

Hope (Feisty Lawyers Series Book 4) by Seelie Kay – Review by Erica Fish

HopeHope by Seelie Kay
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Seelie Kay is an author that I highly recommend if you like suspense stories. Hope is the fourth book in the Feisty Lawyers series. If you have not read the first three books, I would recommend you read them to get the most enjoyment out of Hope. One thing that Seelie Kay that I love is I am head over heels before the end of the first paragraph. She grabs me and I cannot stop reading until the end of the book. For that reason, I highly suggest you leave enough time so that you can read the book in one sitting. The characters are fully developed and the plot keeps you going because you want to know what is going to happen next. It is said that only those who have been broken and hit rock bottom knows the strength that it takes to pull themselves out. Hope is that person. She wanted to join “the Agency” which is the organization of her dreams. “The Agency” is an elite group of attorneys who will go undercover to “right wrongs” the law can’t. There is one problem with her becoming apart of “the Agency” someone wants her to lose hope. Will Hope lose hope or will Hope rise above all? Will her past come to get her? I highly recommend reading if you want the answers to this mystery.
