He’s searching for absolution. She wants her happily ever after.

Solomon Clarke goes by Saint, though he’s anything but. After lusting for him from afar, the masquerade party affords me the anonymity to pursue that attraction without worrying about the fall-out of hooking-up with the bouncer from the Hawkeye Club. From the second he lays his eyes and hands on me, I’m helpless to resist him. Even burying myself in a dangerous investigation can’t erase the memory of our combustible connection and one night together. The only problem… he has no idea who I am.

Caroline Brooks thinks I don’t see her watching me, the way her eyes rake over me with appreciation. But I’ve noticed, and the party is the perfect opportunity to unleash the desire I’ve kept reined in for so damn long. It also sets off a series of events no one sees coming. Events that leave those I love hurting because of my failures. While the guilt eats away at my soul, Caroline continues to weigh on my heart. That woman may be the death of me, but oh, what a way to go.

Life isn’t always clean, and sometimes, it takes a saint to do the dirty work.

***Tainted Saint is the first novella in The Hawke Family Series, but it is a continuation of the same story in the main series. While it is a complete story, it is NOT meant to be read as a standalone. The story of the Hawke siblings and the secondary characters featured in Tainted Saint starts in Savage Collision and continues in book two, Tortured Skye, book three, Stone Sober, and book four, Building Storm. These stories all build on one another and are intertwined. They need to be read in order to fully enjoy and understand the plots and characters. ***

Archer Blackwood is the epitome of the ruthless businessman: cold, and filthy rich. The handsome Brit controls everything and everyone, no exceptions. Ever.

When Zoe is asked to go undercover at Blackwood Corporation, on the lookout for possible threats against the infuriating and sexy billionaire, she finds the mission amusing at the beginning. That was until the menace turns darker and her attraction to Archer becomes overwhelming.

Zoe is right in the middle of a bloody family war, but her mind and logic are blurred by lust. Archer turns into an unexpected protector, suddenly wanting even more from her if they ever survive this deadly game. Could her unstoppable emotions for the Brit be the end of her?

It’s not easy being the worst vampire ever.

Tandi may have been killed by ghouls, but now she’s a brand new vampire. And she’s determined to be the best.

But determination can’t take her very far when she won’t even kill a deer for its blood. Not to mention she’s not as subservient to her master—the Prince of Vampires—as she should be. Despite him being a dead hot guy, and powerful enough to have broken free of the Queen’s influence.

Little does she know that the Queen of Vampires wants her Prince back, and Tandi’s about to get caught in the middle. Just as well the Prince is unusually protective of her, even if she is trying to hide her developing feelings for him. Because when they’re invited to a wedding, and the Queen will plan Tandi’s death there. And the crown-wearing vamp has several ways to do it.

But Tandi is full of surprises herself.

When a disreputable cat turns up promising to help, together with the gorgeous Prince they hatch a plan. It’s dangerous. Maybe even deadly. But if everything goes just right, they might just have a chance.

Of course, when does anything go just right? Maybe being killed by ghouls wasn’t such a bad thing after all.

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

While this is Book 2 of “Wheel of Crowns” series, i believe THE QUEEN OF WITCHES can be read as a stand alone and still be enjoyed as much as if it’s read in order.

This is a quick and fantastic read that I ripped through between dinner and bedtime. Any review i write will not do this story justice. It has best friends and big brothers, cute boys and new powers and a dude named “Sammy”.

Action packed, this story is full of character and charm (and demons of course) and then pages practically turn themselves.

I absolutely recommend this story!!

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

The Werewolf Queen by Brandi Elledge is the first book in the Wheel of Crowns series. Sadie is turning 18 and it isn’t the typical 18th birthday. There are werewolves, vampires, and witches. Not your average birthday at least for a mere mortal. This is a fun start to a series and really enjoyable to read. Sadie is smart, funny, and tough.
I enjoyed the story and the characters. There was a nice flow to the story and I was not sure where the story would ultimately go. I really look forward to reading more from this series in the near future.

Mayhem (A Twisted Hearts Love Story, #2)Mayhem by Autumn Sand
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Mayhem by Autumn Sand is the second book in the Twisted Hearts Love Story series and I think it’s safe to say I enjoyed it more than the first book. And I really really enjoyed the first one.

Tick is the right hand man to mob boss Tony who we meet in Bedlam, Book 1, and is emotionally stunted due to a tragic event that happened in his younger years. But that all changes when he has an unexplainable reaction to Cyma, who he meets in a sudden, violent, and unexpected way and she vanishes just as quickly as he meets her. A few days later he sees her again, in again the most unexpected place, and vows this time to get to know her better. He is persuasive, and sexy as can be!! And he doesn’t take no for an answer! Cyma has her reasons for saying no, but has a hard time meaning it
This story has humor, tragedy, danger, action, twists, vulgar language and steamy sex scenes in spades! This book is not for people who are adverse to violence, or cancer, and is definitely not for young eyes!! 5 stars from me and I cannot wait to read book 3!

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 Lily Ryan’s Baker’s Bunch Book. It is a young adult story of the pain of growing up … it is a hot mess overloaded with emotions and knee jerk reactions and it is not surprising, it is for young adults so if you are of my age and you found yourself reading it, tone down your criticism and look at it through the eyes of the young ones. Growing up is not a party though at times it seems so to us who are on the fringes and we look at the popular crowd!
Hate to Love You is a forbidden love story of Samantha ‘Sam’ Stone and Cole Andrews. Cole is Sam’s brother’s best friend so you can imagine why it is a forbidden love story! Things happen and both give in to their feelings for one night … what happens then? The writer gives us the story from both Sam’s and Cole’s point of view so we have the front row seat to their angst, I mean their feelings … it is a rollercoaster ride and most of us can relate to it for sure! As it is the first book in the series, I wonder who the next one is …

SHORTCUTS (Singularities) by Amy Bearce – Review by Kerry Baker

ShortcutsShortcuts by Amy Bearce
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Shortcuts (Singularities) by Amy Bearce is a brilliant YA novel that is clever and unique and such an interesting read. This is not only perfect for the age range it is clearly aimed at but also has that something about it that captures the attention of all age ranges.
The characters were all great to read about. The dynamics of their group worked really well and was believable of kids their age. That is something I think a lot of authors struggle to get right.
The story was varied and nicely paced – quick enough to hold the attention of a YA but also detailed enough provide an interesting story.
I have to say that I loved the cover of this book. It is eye catching and instantly draws your attention to it. It is what caught by interest in the first place.
I really enjoyed everything about this book and wouldn’t hesitate to read more by this author.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Things We Lost (Loving Locksley Book 1) By Shae Banks. I’m a sucker for a second chance type stories and this one didn’t disappoint but it was a bit predictable but I truly enjoyed Nathalie and Jason’s story. Each of them having their own crosses to bare and stories to tell. This is my first read by this author but I’ll definitely be looking for more, the author does a wonderful job of writing a sweet story with characters I really connected with. It’s well written and paced nicely. It’s on the shorter side but that doesn’t hold it back any. I’m glad to give this story a four star review and recommend it. I’m excited to see where the author takes readers next.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

After Hurricane Nina, Rand’s Resolution (Hot Hunks-Steamy Romance Collection) By Tamara Ferguson. This author always grabs my attention and this time was no different. From start to finish I was rooted to my seat. I love an author that can take a not especially long story and give readers every they could want and things we don’t even know we want. There’s plenty of twists I didn’t see coming and I loved it. It’s well written and paced nicely never feeling rushed or lacking anything. Characters are complex and relatable. It’s told in dual POV which is kind of a favorite of mine because we get a much fuller picture of all things happening. If you’re looking for a great story that keeps you glued to your chair this is it! Five stars all the way and I highly recommend it.

Hawke (Men of Syn Book 1) Anise Storm – Review by Sarah Oakes

/0 Comments/in /by

Hawke (Men of Syn, #1)Hawke by Anise Storm
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

A great read about the past. Hawke is trying to get a his new nightclub set up in the local area. To make sure it has the best and biggest opening night, he hires a party planner company to help him out. But it comes with a face from his past with Charlotte Maxwell. Can he overcome his past or will it overshadow his future?
A great read. Well developed plot. Well developed characters like Hawke trying to build his business despite his feelings or Charlotte standing up for herself but vulnerable underneath.
I loved the visual detail throughout the novel like in Hawke’s office with the desk and chair all organised and a sense of control. Or the weather with its snow and slush and ice cold wild and untamable for a wonderful sense of contrast.
The switch of perspectives worked well to display both sides of the story and was easy to follow with names in the chapter titles. The flashbacks and or memories were written well and didn’t disrupt with the narrative of the present.The only issue I would raise is that there were lots of long sentences making it hard to read and causing repetition in a lot of places. If this was reduced, it would make for an excellent read. Overall, a great read and I would give it four stars.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

A great read about change. Sam’s brother has overdosed on drugs, but all she can think about is kissing his best friend, Cole Andrews. That night changes everything as she gets her hearts desire. But her brother always gets in the middle of things and Cole doesn’t want to risk Tyler finding out. Can their forbidden love blossom or is it doomed from the start?
A great read. Well developed plot with twists and turns. Well developed characters like Cole trying to be a good friend but also follow his heart or Sam try to do what makes her happy despite what others think.
I loved the visual detail throughout the novel like with the storm with the thunder and lightning in beauty and colour grabbing the readers attention from the start and a wonderful use of foreshadowing. Or the vivid colours used with the greens and blues of the eyes wonderfully written. Or the coffee shop with its homely feel and comfy booths for a sense of peace from the storm.
The switch of perspectives worked well to display both sides of the story and was easy to follow with names as chapter titles. The only issue I would raise is that the conflict of Tyler not finding out felt as if it was a bigger problem than it seemed. Perhaps if this was explained, this would br more relatable. Also the reminiscences into the past felt unnecessary and often repeated things. Overall, a great read and I would give it four stars

Taming the Troublemaker (The Hills of Texas Book 3) by Kadie Scott – Review by Karyn Taylor

Taming the Troublemaker (Hills of Texas, #3)Taming the Troublemaker by Kadie Scott
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Taming The Troublemaker is the 3rd book in the Hills Of Texas series by Kadie Scott. This series centres around the Hill family and each sibling has their own book. Although the characters are recurring, each book can be read as a stand-alone. I had not read the first 2 books in this series before reading this one and didn’t feel that I was missing any important information. I would, however, now like to go back and see how the first 2 couples got together.
I adored the 2 main characters in this story. Beth is the local school teacher and feels plain and unattractive in comparison to her 2 stunning sisters. She is quite insecure and feels like guys don’t want to know her anymore once they get sight of her sisters.
Autry Hill is a playboy and charmer who is forever getting into mischief until her is given a challenge by his father. No woman for 6 months and he can have the family ranch house. Autry expected this to be easy as he was starting to tire of his reputation. Little did he know that Beth Cooper was going to blow his world.
Beth and Autry’s story was a very enjoyable read. You really got to see a side of Autry that you didn’t expect, especially given his reputation around town. Beth also has a few tricks up her sleeve that you wouldn’t expect from her either. Special mention has to be made for the scene stealer Dylan. Dylan is a young boy in Beth’s class who plays a major role in this book and you can’t help but want to mother this broken little boy.
With there being more Hill siblings who haven’t had their own book yet, I’m hoping that this series is going to continue and I look forward to see what this mad family gets up to next.

This book had me completely intrigued from the synopsis alone and the story itself sucked me in. This is the first book I’ve read from this author and she has totally made it on my one-click list!

I love a good paranormal story. The storyline is something I’ve never read. I love original ideas and this one was perfection! Its one of those books that you have to physically slow down while reading it so you can prolong your enjoyment!

The story was action-packed, fast paced, romantic, and everything you would want in a book. There aren’t enough words to even give this book justice. I’m very excited to dive into book 2!

Taming the Troublemaker is the third book in the Hills of Texas series, and can be read as a standalone.
Autry is the town playboy and Beth is known as the good girl.
This is a romance that brings these two together to help one of her students. Beth promises herself she won’t fall for him but it doesn’t take her long to see Autry as the compassionate and determined man he truly is. Autry finds that he can’t get the caring, strong, and beautiful Beth out of his mind! But is good girl Beth enough for playboy Autry!!

I adored this book and never read any other in this series, but will say I will be reading them soon. I adored the characters, the chemistry, and the fun banter these two had. I give this book 5 stars!

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

 

It’s been a while since I read a story with a hot and sexy dominant as the main character but I definitely got it in Hawke!! I was captivated by this book from the very beginning until the end. The storyline was extremely well thought out and flowed beautifully. I loved Charlotte and Hawke and the depth that their relationship grew to, I loved everything about them. There were some good twists and turns in the story and I really felt like I knew the characters well. The BDSM part of the story is pretty hard core and whilst personally I’m not one for this lifestyle it is only a story at the end of the day and the author did do an amazing job when writing the scenes. There are also some other more sensitive topics and triggers in the story and I have to say I only have praise for the author and the way in which this book is written. I think it is probably one of the best books that I have read so far this year.
This is the first book that I have read by this author and I absolutely will be reading more from her – I was hooked from the moment I read the blurb and I cannot recommend it enough to other readers!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

 

This is the third book that I have enjoyed by this author, I always find it so easy to get into the stories that she writes and the characters are always enjoyable to read about. Second chance romance stories are always one I like to read about, I love to see people who have a genuine connection find each other again and then throw in the ‘forbidden relationship’ part to it too and I am in book heaven! Hate to Love You was exactly what I wanted from a story in this genre! I love Cole and Sam and I was rooting for them the whole way through. There were some quite emotional parts to this book that the author really wrote about well and I felt like I knew these characters really well by the end of the story.
I really did enjoy this story and would highly recommend it to other readers. I will also be looking forward to reading more from Ms Ryan again in the future!!

Drawing Bloodlines (The Princeton Allegiant Series Book 1) by Deborah Garland

5 Stars

So I fell in love with this author while reading her Darling Cove Series and I couldn’t wait to see what she would do with a paranormal story involving vampires. I’m not normally a fan of paranormal but because it’s a new series and its this author I had to try it.

I Loved It!! I already can’t wait for more. This one was the whole package tied up with the most beautiful bow. The flow, the characters, the twists and turns, which are my favorite because I love the unpredictable.

I can’t quite figure out which way she will go with this series especially with how this book ended, which totally threw me because i truly thought it would end up going a different way. Although it doesn’t matter because I will have whatever this author writes.

Highly recommend this, and recommend even higher reading anything by this author.

Loved Loved Loved it!!!

Playing Fate (Endgame Series Book 1) by Leigh Ann Lunsford

5+++++++++++ Stars

The rating system is not high enough for this book, nor this author. I worked my ever loving tailbone off reading this story, I felt every emotion ten fold and I literally read this in one sitting. These people in the book had me totally messed up, one minute I was smiling, then I was laughing, then I was ready to kick something and then I’d end up crying. There was one statement in this book that caught me so off guard I swear I spit the water I just drank through my nose….took me 15 minutes to be able to breathe again and set back in to reading.

I want to be adopted into Deacons family, they have to be one of my favorite book families ever and that is also one of my favorite parts of any book is when there is a family feel to the story. Then there’s the bonds of friendship that this author took to a whole new level for me. I loved Saylor, don’t get me wrong but she had me wanting to scream many times in this story but her scenes with Mason redeemed her in my eyes every time, omg they cracked me up.

I could get into the actual storyline but I’m not going to…if you have not read this book trust me when I say this will hit everything you love about reading and I don’t know what to say about this author except that I have many favorites, but when someone asks who my favorite is one always comes to mind first and I’ve read all her books at least twice, well without sounding cheesy I can honestly say that this author will now be at the top, I’ve read many of her books and I know I will read everyone of them again and again.

I could go on and on but I’ll stop here because Brody and Emberlee are waiting for me to start their story…

Drawing Bloodlines (The Princeton Allegiant #1)
By Deborah Garland
Rated 5 stars!!

Holy Guacamole! Talk about H-O-T! The beginning is so so ….I can’t even think!! These two! I love them together! So cute!
Omg I can’t believe this story. My emotions can’t take much more of this. Here I get all happy and excited then….BAM! I am on edge and saddened then furious. All I want to do is read faster to find out what happens. But then I don’t want this amazing story over so I try to slow down and take everything in. This is why I LOVE vampire books. Vamps are alphas on steroids. They are so possessive and determined and Alexander is no different. He is a sexy beast! Phew! I can’t believe I made it in one piece to this glorious ending!

These characters are so lovable and dare I say “real” that they are a joy to read. I loved meeting the main characters as well as the secondary ones. Julianna is a wild card and i would love to learn more about her and Loren in future stories. The story is one for the ages! The writing was superb! The story flowed so easily and kept me completely engrossed. My only minor, minor criticism would be to suggest the author add the characters name at the beginning of each section when we started reading their POV. It was a bit confusing at times when switches were made.

I can’t wait for more in this series!

Things We Lost (Loving Locksley Book 1) by Shae Banks – Review by Shannon Fowler

Things We Lost (Loving Locksley Book 1)Things We Lost by Shae Banks
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is my first book by Shae Banks. And luckily for me it won’t be my last. The main characters are Nathalie and Jason who knew each other from childhood. They lost touch after high school when Jason left for college, never to return.

This story seems to prove the theory of “it’s a small world”. Some of the events surrounding Nathalie seem to be fate but how do we really know that Jason didn’t have his hands in it. The coincidences seem a little too easy.

Nathalie has a new job and new boss but along comes an old love. The mix seems to be more than Nathalie can handle.

Jason has a point to prove, not only to himself but to his family and to Nathalie. The past is just that, in the past. Things have changed and Jason wants Nat to see that he has changed too.

I am looking forward to reading more from Banks and hopefully this series as well.

Misfortune of Vision (Druid’s Brooch Series Book 4)
By: Christy Nicholas
5 out of 5 stars

The story Misfortune of Vision (Druid’s Brooch Series Book 4) by Christy Nicholas is a wonderful book that I loved reading. It drew me in from the beginning and I found myself lost in its pages. I enjoyed reading about the character of Orlah. She is a Seer. This story takes her on a journey in which she is looking for a worthy heir to inherit her magical brooch. She finds herself in all sorts of other situations in which she must use her wits and gift. The book is very detailed and I felt like I was right there with the characters. I also enjoyed reading about the additional characters that are introduced. They are well-developed and I came to care about many of them with each chapter that I read. The story is both interesting and intriguing. The book has an atmosphere that pulls you in and doesn’t let you go until you have read the final page. It is an exciting read that you don’t want to miss out on. I have read several of the books in this series and I have found that the author does an amazing job in creating stories that are enjoyable. I would highly recommend reading this book.

Love & Ghosts (Crescent City Ghost Tours Book 1)
By: Carrie Pulkinen
5 out of 5 stars

The story Love & Ghosts (Crescent City Ghost Tours Book 1) by Carrie Pulkinen is a paranormal romance book that I loved reading. It pulled me in from the very beginning and didn’t let me go until I had read the final page. It is a story that has a wonderful storyline and amazing characters. I loved reading about the characters of Emily Rollins and Sean LeBlanc. Emily is a woman who is strong and independent. She doesn’t believe in the supernatural or ghosts. She is someone who is trying to start over and move on with her life. Then she meets Sean. Sean LeBlanc is a medium. He owns his own haunted tour company. Since he first kissed Emily he can’t stop thinking about her. There is a chemistry and attraction between them. If only he can get Emily to accept the existence of ghosts. What does the future hold for Emily and Sean? When Emily receives a strange box can Sean convince her of the danger? Read this book to find out what happens. I love that this story takes place in New Orleans. I also loved that the story has an atmosphere that is both romantic and sultry. There is bantering that goes back and forth between Sean and Emily and scenes that are swoon worthy. Steamy scenes included in this book. There are additional characters that I enjoyed reading about their part in the story and their interactions with Sean and Emily. This is a wonderful story that you won’t be able to put down. Highly recommended.

The Werewolf Queen (Wheel of Crowns Book 1) by Brandi Elledge – Review by Jenni Bishop

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

The Werewolf Queen (Wheel of Crowns Book 1) by Brandi Elledge is a great supernatural paranormal fantasy story that kept me so engrossed and immersed in her carefully woven world. The story is so magical it had me on the edge of my seat through to the end. Brandi has very cleverly written something that completely throws you off track just when you think you have got it worked out. The suspense will keep you on alert and intrigued without letting go. This is a brilliant start to the series that is action packed with werewolves and witches, warlocks and vampires, psychics and demons and so much more. The story is thrilling and fast paced and also has romance and humour, I loved Granny, the best friend and the fairy who each had me howling in laughter.

Sadie comes from a long line of witches, but she has no powers. Whilst getting ready for her 18th birthday, everything changes and her life is turned upside down. It seems everyone either wants her or wants her dead.

This is one brilliant and masterful tale that will keep you on the edge of your seat and your heart rate pulsing. This has to be one of the best if not the best stories I have read this year and Brandi is now one of my favourite authors.
