Hate to Love You (Baker’s Bunch Book 1) by Lily Ryan – Review by Jessica Leombruno

Hate to Love You (Baker's Bunch Book 1)Hate to Love You by Lily Ryan
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Hate to Love You by Lily Ryan was a good introduction to this author for me. This new adult forbidden best friend’s little sister romance, kept me turning the paper to find out what was going to happen next. Cole and Samantha have been in each other’s life for about 8 years, but the day Samantha’s brother over-dozed is when things changed for them. It’s the unforgettable question of will they or won’t they start a relationship? Are they going to hide or tell the brother?

Young love can be so confusing and insecurities can make you do some stupid things. Cole and Samantha had a lot of ups and downs throughout this book that can make your head spin but once things were out in the open, things came together in a good way. I would love to see some of the secondary characters get a book and get updates on Cole and Samantha. This could be a good start to a college romance series.

Love & Ghosts (Crescent City Ghost Tours Book 1) by Carrie Pulkinen – Review by Lyndsey Fairley

Love & GhostsLove & Ghosts by Carrie Pulkinen
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Love & Ghosts (Crescent City Ghost Tours Book 1) by Carrie Pulkinen
4 stars

What a great book. I was hooked from the beginning, and not knowing what the book was about as i went in blind (have you seen the cover!), I could only assume what some of the story would be about.
Sean is a medium and runs a ghost tour company. When he meets Emily at a masquerade, he’s never felt that pull before but she isn’t looking for more than fulfilling her dare to kiss a man that evening.
As the story goes on, things start to progress but big hurdles must be overcome to continue. I didn’t see some of the things happening in this coming so it was refreshing to not be predictable.
I recommend this read and will be waiting for more in this series.

Hate to Love You (Baker's Bunch Book 1)Hate to Love You by Lily Ryan
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Hate to Love You is the first book in the Bakers Bunch Series by author Lily Ryan. Samantha Stone has had a thing for her big brother’s best friend, Cole Andrews, since she was a pre-teen. After an incident forces the two together for one night, they decide they want each other but don’t know how their relationship would affect those around them. Do they take a chance or go back to the place they have always held in each other’s lives?
This was a pretty good story; I did definitely prefer Cole’s character over Samantha’s though. Samantha was definitely a young, naïve and at times highly annoying. Fortunately for the story she does redeem herself. This was my first book by Ms. Ryan but it probably won’t be my last.

The Werewolf Queen (Wheel of Crowns #1) by Brandi Elledge

5 out of 5 stars

The Werewolf Queen is the first boo in the Wheel of Crowns series written by Brandi Elledge and it’s the first book that I have read by this author. I loved this book it was amazing especially if you like to read supernatural stories. The characters are well written and the plot was amazing the secondary characters and their quirkiness made the story more enjoyable. I couldn’t even put the book down that’s how intrigued I was.

Sadi is a dud or so she thought until her 18th birthday she comes into her powers and she doesn’t know what is wrong with herself. And then throw in the werewolves, vampires, and demons all turn up to spoil her party, the weirdness really ramps up.

Now she has to leave the people she loves and cares about or they will be in danger so now she has to find somewhere safe. Now the king of the werewolves offer’s her somewhere to hide while she’s learning about her new powers. Now she not only has to worry about demons trying to kill her she has to worry about his psycho witch fiancée from finding new ways to try and kill her and she only escalates when she realizes the king is attractive to sadi.
With all of this she still has to find the key and learn how to use her powers. Can Sadi handle all this change? Can she win this war or is she in over her head? What will happen if and when she finds the key? You will need to read this great book to find out.
I highly recommend this book and as soon as im done writing this review I’m going to start The Queen of Witches…

HEELS OF FORTUNE: PJ Santini Series: Book Two by Lynne Russell – Review by Kerry Baker

Heels Of Fortune (PJ Santini Series Book 2)Heels Of Fortune by Lynne Russell
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Heels Of Fortune by Lynne Russell is the second book in the PJ Santini series. Personally I think you do need to read this series in order to fully appreciate how amazing it is. I also think you that these books are incredible enough for you to want to read them both.
Is it is possible this book is even better than the first one. The MC just gets more entertaining and more interesting with each and every page. It is so easy to get such a good sense of what she is like, it is really almost like she is a real person. And boy is she someone I would want to meet and talk to!!!
The author does such a great job at creating a story that has enough action to make it fast paced and intense while also knowing when to hold back and slow it down.
This whole series has been amazing so far and I really cannot wait to see what comes next. This author has been firmly added to my must read list.

Lies Come True (Avery Hart Trilogy, #1)Lies Come True by Emerald O’Brien
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Lies Come True by Emerald O’Brien is the first book in the Avery Hart series and a book that I could NOT put down!! This page turner was filled with such suspense and mystery that it grabbed me at the beginning and held my interest in the two sittings that it took me to finish. This is a trilogy and you will be left with a cliff hanger, and I know I will be reading all book as I want to know more about what happens to the character’s and what happens with the story line.
Avery escaped a horrible attack ten years ago, and there seems to be a connection to current attacks and the cops are worried there is a killer on the loose. Noah, a new investigator is drawn to this case as his attraction to Avery intensifies. Now Noah must find out the truth!
This book will make you think and think hard and it what will draw you more into the story and make you want to dive right into the next two books! I give this book 4 stars and look forward to reading the next two books.

Hate to Love You (Baker's Bunch Book 1)Hate to Love You by Lily Ryan
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Hate To Love You is the first book in the Baker’s Bunch series by Lily Ryan. It was the first time I had read any work from this author so I was unsure what to expect. What I got was a well written ‘forbidden love’ story that I really enjoyed.
Samantha (also Sam or Sammie) Stone has been in love with her brother Tyler’s best friend Cole Andrews for as long as she can remember.
Cole Andrews has been secretly fighting his attraction to his best friend Tyler’s little sister Sammie for a long time. Tyler has never hidden the fact that he would be ‘extremely upset’ if Cole ever went anywhere near Sammie.
When tragedy almost strikes and Tyler has a very narrow escape from the grim reaper, Cole and Sammie, in comforting each other, take their friendship to a whole new level.
In trying to keep things from Tyler, Cole ends up deeply hurting Sammie and what ensues is an excellent storyline between Sammie, Cole, Tyler and a few other secondary characters who are a great addition to the story. What I did have to remind myself on many occasions was just how young Sammie’s character was, as so many times I wanted to scream “grow up” at her.
I really enjoyed this first book in the Barker’s Bunch series and as there were some really great secondary characters, I look forward to seeing what the author has in store in future books in the series

One of my favourite reads is a second chance romance and this one was no different it had me hooked from page one. Cole and Sam have always had chemistry and feelings for one another while they were growing up but at the time a relationship just wasn’t going to happen it was a big fat NO so they just kept how they were truly feeling to themselves which isn’t easy. Year’s later thing’s change they kiss will they finally get their happy ever after and be together and true to themselves. Such a brilliant read i enjoyed every second!

The Vampire Queen (Wheel of Crowns Book 3) by Brandi Elledge
5 Stars

This is the third book in the Wheel of Crowns series. I love this series! The men are hot and the female leads are strong. This is Tandi’s story and she’s hilarious. Recently turned into a vampire, Tandi struggles somewhat when she realizes that she sucks at it ( pun intended). She can’t bring herself to kill Bambi or Thumper. Oh my god, those scenes will have you crying from laughter. The only perk is that her master who is the Prince of Vampires is hotter than hell. The attraction grows between the two but unfortunately the Queen wants her Prince backhand has no qualms in killing Tandi to get what she wants.

This is another story filled with action, drama and quirky characters. Tracker the cat and Tandi’s southern attitude will have you laughing out loud. There are some surprises in this book as well. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and hope there will be more to come. Perhaps a book about Death and the Zombie Princess?

Hate to Love You (Baker’s Bunch Book 1) By Lily Ryan. I loved everything about this book, the author writes a story that had me completely hooked from start to finish. The emotions and chemistry Cole and Samantha have jumped off the pages and took me on quite the journey. I’m a sucker for a “forbidden “ love story and while they can get predictable not once did I feel that feeling reading this story. It’s well written and paced nicely never feeling rushed or lacking anything. The characters are complex and relatable and I truly won’t forget their story any time soon. I can’t wait to see where the author takes readers next. I’m giving this story a five star review and highly recommend it.

The Queen of Witches (Wheel of Crowns Book 2)The Queen of Witches by Brandi Elledge
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Where to start is an understatement to say the least. Ms. Brandi Elledge wrote an exciting book 2 The Queen of Witches. Charlie, the main female character, in my opinion is an amazing. She lives believing that werewolves do not exist. She is having a hard time because there are things going on around her and she does not fully understand what is happening to her. But reality hits her when she is kidnapped and forced to wed a warlock because she is a witch. The story progresses from this point with excitement and romance. Will Charlie get away from those who want her to marry the warlock? Will the werewolf find her? Will Charlie get the hang being a witch? I cannot wait to read the third book to see what happens to Charlie next.

The Werewolf Queen (Wheel of Crowns Book 1)The Werewolf Queen by Brandi Elledge
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

What an incredible start to what I can only imagine being an incredible suspenseful, fantasy, magical, romantic and sexy read.

I absolutely loved this read from start to finish, it was creative, engaging, thrilling and a story I thoroughly enjoyed. I loved the characters each of them held their own and their stories were told and I enjoyed following their journey in this read. Sadie was a brilliant sassy, feisty, independent woman who knows what she wants. CG was not what you expected as a king, but he made this story even better, I really enjoyed these two characters together.

This was a mentally, visual read that with the descriptive writing I could picture this read in my mind while reading it, I loved this take on the supernatural world and can’t wait to see where the rest of this series takes us. My only issue with this read is, I would have liked a bit more action, but other than that, I loved it!

I can’t wait to see what else is to come from this series, it’s fast-paced and captivating and highly recommend it. I’ll be eagerly awaiting Book 2! But until then do not miss this read.

This is the third book in this series, I enjoyed it just as much as the previous two. This is a story that is well written, creative and engaging. The characters are connectable and bring the story to life for me. In this book Tandi seems to find herself caught in the middle of a fight between the Queen and the Prince. When a plan is made, they just may find themselves in danger but just when they thought it will be okay, boom, nothing seems to be right. I highly recommend this book.

I loved this book. It is not a stand alone, I highly suggest reading this series in order, you won’t regret it. I loved that we get to see the characters from the previous books in this one as well. This is Saint and Caroline’s story. One chance meeting at a party and fate playing a part, you get a growing relationship. They are great characters that are strong and have great chemistry. They are well written and really pop off the pages. Twists and turns you won’t see coming. A must read!

Tainted Saint by Gwyn McNamee a five-star read that will have you on your knees. This is number five in the Hawke Family saga and it’s the first novella and it was sublime. The length felt enough that you didn’t miss any details, it’s the first main character that isn’t a Hawke family member well not by blood anyhow, but Saint is something to everyone in the family. It was so nice to hear his story, see him come out of the shadows and get to see what makes Caroline tick.

The Werewolf Queen is the first book in what is shaping up to be my new favorite series. This book has everything I Iove, paranormal adventure with a lot of danger and just the right amount of softness. I don’t know which character I liked more, Sadie, Lil, or the others that I don’t want to spoil. I was instantly enthralled, so much so that I literally could not put it down. I think I read it in four or five hours and I instantly picked up the next one. I laughed, I bit my nails and all because I am so in love with this series that I honestly can’t stop reading them. This book will take you on a thrill ride like no other and all I can say is be prepared for a nonstop read-a-thon.

Run to the Sea (Reigning Hearts, #1)Run to the Sea by K.G. Fletcher
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

 

Run to the Sea was a wonderful read by K G Fletcher and one that I thoroughly enjoyed from beginning to end. I really love this author and all of the books that I have read by her so far have all been wonderful reads. She has a writing style that is easy to read and her stories flow really well. She creates some amazing characters and Thomas and Emeline were no exceptions! I love a second chance romance and I absolutely adored watching these two characters come back together again and I was rooting for them to fall in love from the start! There were a few obstacles in their way but their story really had me hooked and I really grew to love then over their journey together. There were also some good supporting characters and I am really looking forward to reading more about them in the next book in the series!
Run to the Sea was a beautifully written story and one that I highly recommend!

Next Door Knight was an enjoyable read and the first that I have read by this author. It didn’t take me long to get into the story and my interest was kept throughout. It took me a little time to connect with the characters but by the end I had found the connection that I was looking for. I definitely could feel the emotions coming from the characters especially Caleb, the author did a really good job in making sure that I had empathy as a reader for the things that Caleb had experienced in his life and the way he was feeling now. I really admired Kerry, she was a strong person who was also caring and compassionate and her family is very important to her. I love reading stories about therapy dogs I think they are so amazing and I am in awe of the things they can do and the help that they can give people, I adore them!
Overall a good read that I would definitely recommend and I am looking forward to reading more from this author again in the future.

My rating: 5 out of 5 stars

This book was a rough ride. The story is wonderful, the characters are fantastic and the issues Sam and Tyler’s family face are very real. The drama with Sam and her brother’s best friend Cole is over the top. I say that because everything can always be worked out by communication, but Sam seemed to have the most trouble doing that. Throughout the whole book it seemed Sam and Cole just couldn’t stop breaking each other’s hearts over and over. At one point Cole has had enough and Sam realizes she could lose him forever if she doesn’t get her issues together. Their relationship is beautiful though, and I really pulled for them the whole way.

This book had me on edge the whole way through and I could not put it down. There are some great steamy scenes and an awesome story line. I would highly recommend this to any romance lover.

I DID NOT WANT THIS BOOK TO END!! Seriously, I loved the first book and if it’s possible I loved this one even more. I think being inside of P.J.’s mind is one of the most fascinating and completely hilarious places to be. Her thought process cracked me up in most cases and I want to be her friend and I also want to order one Tango Daly please…***sigh***

This book was awesome, had everything I love in a book all tied up in one complete package, twists and turns from every direction and if there is one negative I can mention its that there isn’t another one waiting for me to jump into yet! 🙁 Stalking has already begun and I will be first in line when she continues this story.

I love that she throws in just enough of a flashback here and there and doesn’t spend too much time on it, its enough to give me what I crave and then transports me back to the present and I didn’t forget where I was..Not sure if that made sense but its awesome.

The family aspect of this story is also a favorite of mine in any book and OMG Nonna…loved loved loved her! I also hope Vicky is even more involved in coming books, she added another layer to the story that was simply spot on!

I can’t recommend reading this enough…I suppose you could read this as a stand alone although I can’t imagine not having read the first before sinking into this one. This author has become an absolute must read for me and this series will remain a favorite and I already can’t wait to reread. 🙂

The Werewolf Queen (Wheel of Crowns#1)
By Brandi Elledge
Rated 5 stars

I have read some previous reviews and I don’t get it. For me this book ROCKED! I loved it all. I talked about it to all my friends. They were shocked that everything i told them happened in one book.

The characters (Even Sadie who is only 18 and i felt acted her age), the story and the humor were all a good fit. Let’s tackle the characters. CG is old (Immortal) and Sadie is barely out of her teenage years. CG has had many years to acclimate and be prepared. Sadie, who thought she was a DUD (meaning a no powers witch) , just came Into her powers and had never met any other creatures before other than witches.Sadie has heart along with her immaturity. She is trying to balance everything that has been heaped upon her in a short amount of time. She has crazy friends and family. That’s to be expected in any family. I loved all the different types of characters we met. From the sexy Vampire to the funny fairy to the lovely new large friend she acquires. Even the Evil characters held true to their form.

The story is different which is good. No cookie cutter stuff here. It’s also full of action for only a 250 page book. There is barely time for these characters to breathe. I literally devoured this book and I don’t really care for “witch” stories. Usually they are too “sneaky” for me. Witches that is. But I do love werewolf stories so I took a chance on this one. I was unprepared to how fast moving and smooth this story was. Were there glitches? Yes. But the more you read the better they are understood. (Again my reason not to like witches). The humor was cute and I felt added to the story. She is a teenager! Aren’t they all snarky? My only issue was the mating ceremony but this isn’t a cookie cutter story so it can be different.

I can really see the author setting up future books. Looks like there might be seven in our future. There is so much intertwining between characters and stories i would recommend starting with this one and going from there. I look forward to reading the next but can’t wait for the Stephens.

Until Fools Find Gold: A Providence Gold Series and Until Series Crossover by Mary B. Moore. OMG. Brilliant just brilliant. Even though the underlying story of abuse and horrible acts with is heartbreaking but this is the funniest thing I have read in a long time. Mary B. Moore I salute you, you have written something so unique and original that you have created a masterpiece. I read this story in one go as there was no way I wanted to put it down as I was so ​engrossed and immersed in this wonderfully woven world. The story is so magical it had me on the edge of my seat through to the end and I was howling with laughter out loud so much that I was crying and my husband checked on me several times to make sure I was ok. Mary B has very cleverly written something that completely throws you as you never know what to expect.

Luna had been dealt a sh*t hand in a father that treats her less than human but she has a family who loves her, if only she can get back to them. When her best friend receives a call the family do everything in their power to get there before the evil can take her away again.

This is a brilliant start to the series ​that is so much more. This without a doubt is the best book I have read this year and Mary B is now up on a pedestal of great authors. I absolutely will be making sure I can get everything she has written or will write.

HAWKE (MEN OF SYN BOOK 1) – REVIEW BY MELISSA AGENA

Hawke (Men of Syn, #1)Hawke by Anise Storm
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

What a refreshing book! I haven’t read a story like this in a long time and I very much welcomed it. Hawke is the first book in the Men of Syn series by Anise Storm. Syn is a new BDSM club that has opened up and Nathaniel “Hawke” Hawkins is the owner. Charlotte is the party planner that is going to be throwing the Masquerade party for the Grand Opening. The moment she meets Hawke she is very drawn to him in the sense that there is something very familiar about him. Until she realizes what why that is, which is a complete shock to her and mostly to him! This book is mostly about both of them trying to stay away from each other but there is a pull that they can’t seem to fight. Hawke has a past that stops him at every turn. There is so much depth in this book but so much sexiness too. I truly loved the authors writing style and I truly can’t wait for the next book to come out!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Even better the second time around! Mayhem is the second book in the Twisted Hearts Love Story Series by Autumn Sand. Although we are not following Tony and Anaya in this book, they do have cameos. In this book we follow Tick and Cyma. Tick is Tony’s right hand man, former Marine and of course a serious ladies man. Cyma is a mom of a very young daughter who is just trying to get by through any means that she can. Tick’s background is the reason he is a player, but the moment he meets Cyma, that all ends. However, for Cyma she feels the pull toward him but her background keeps telling her to stay away. Tick had other plans. This book is so well written that it’s almost like you aren’t reading but you are a part of the story. I love the characters and the twists and turns that are incorporated within. This truly is a great book and a great series. I can’t wait for the next book!
