The Immortal Desires Anthology includes stories by an amazing collaboration of authors, to include: Melanie James, Lia Davis, A.K Michaels, Madison Sevier, Heather Hildenbrand, Rebecca Rivard, Bella Roccaforte, Monica La Porta, Jennifer Theriot, Susan Griscom, N.L. Hoffmann, Nicole Garcia, S. J. Pierce, CJ Hartnett, Casey Hagen, D.J. Bryce, Cora A. Murray, Christina Escue, Elaine Barris. Some of my favorite paranormal themed stories in this collection are:
His Dream Mate by Madison Sevier; this story was fun, dramatic, entertaining and the characters were off the charts.
Flirty Dancing (The Green Room Chronicles Book #3) by Jennifer Theriot (J.D Frettier); this story was heartfelt with humor intertwined.
Each of the stories in this set are uniquely different, but come together perfectly within this series. I read several books from authors I had not previously had the pleasure to enjoy and look forward to reading more from them. Highly recommend the Immortal Desires anthology.
The Wicked Earl’s Widow, by Aubrey Wynne, is that second book in the Once Upon a Widow series. This historical romance was a dramatic read set to the Victorian era. These type of novels were my first reads into the romance realm and they still hold a place in my heart when it comes to this genre. Aubrey Wynne is a talented author and creates fabulous characters that stand apart and shine within their story. In this particular book, I immediately admired Eliza’s character. She’s strong despite the circumstances in her life and has morals that our outstanding to hold. Unfortunately, there is drama, suspense and intrigue within this story. Enter Nick who is about to shift Eliza’s world. The chemistry is apparent and perfectly blended into the story. The Wicked Earl’s Widow is a great read and I highly recommend.

Seraphina’s Revolution is the fourth book in the Seraphina’s series. You will want to read books one through three because those books lead up to this one. It is always bitter sweet when you read the last book in a series because you feel the journey is over but you are also satisfied because the characters have played out their role in the book. This book is about Seraphina and her quest to get her normal life and not such a chaotic journey. Seraphina has been through hell and back in order to get this normal life, only to have Lucifer take it away to evoke the evil that dwells within her soul. There needs to be one last battle to end all the battles, but will it take more than Seraphina can handle? Will Nate be with Seraphina or will Lucifer take him away from her? Thank you again Ms. Hutchinson I cannot wait to see your next series.

An Appointment (Summer in New York Book 4) by Lindsay Marie Miller 4 stars
While this is book 4, it can be read as a standalone. Savannah isn’t looking for love, she has her hands full with her son, the only man she will ever need. Preston has always wanted a family, but his divorce has left him feeling that’ll never happen now. Can these two fight their attraction or will the pull be too strong? I really enjoyed this book and all the characters in the story, it held my attention and had me turning pages to see what happened next. I cant wait for more from this author!

Captivated by the Millionaire by Nina Singh give us a storyline that I adore. The odd couple that no one thinks will work and when they do, the sparks fly and the attraction is through the roof. This book has everything that a romance reader will love. The sweetness, the drama, and the angst that we all love. A lot of the drama following the two leads in this story stemmed from miscommunications and misunderstandings that got to me but I still found myself unable to put the book down and was drawn into the storyline. I am new to this author and would for sure read more from her in the future.
Jessalyn, a free spirit artist who has had her fair share of heartache so she throws her compassionate loving self into the work at the Children’s Centre. She is a free spirit and she loves that about herself. Jordon, a millionaire from New York, has his life turned upside down when he becomes the guardian of his little sister Sonya. He doesn’t have the time to raise a child, he doesn’t have the time to give a home, and he certainly does not have the faith in ladies to give Sonya an environment that she needs. A encounter with Jessalyn, he finds himself unable to stop thinking about her. No matter what happens, these two always seem to be running in to each other. What happens when two people not looking for love, are drawn to eachother!!

An Appointment is the fourth book in Lindsay Marie Miller’s Summer in New York series. I have read EVERY SINGLE one of them! The stories can be read as a standalone but it is great to read them in the order as they are connected through the characters! Our Savannah Taylor, the divorced mother of a young boy is the daughter of Austin and Amy from book #2 (and niece of Claire and Benjamin from book #1). Savannah is not doing too well, the divorce has left her hurt and she feels like life is serving a curveball after curveball and she is barely managing to hold on … enters Dr Preston Cole, a paediatrician who is taking over from his father and who is treating Savannah’s son Trey. He has his own turbulent past, his wife left him for a surgeon and while doing it, broke his heart and his bank account … Both of them have sworn not to love again, not to marry again … and their paths collide … An Appointment is a contemporary romance filled with drama, angst, frustration, loads of misunderstandings, mystery, emotions … and second chances! At times all of the angst and drama became too much … I get that Savannah was drowning in stress but her jumping into conclusions … well … who knows … I suggest you pick up the whole series and spend hours and hours with characters that don’t leave you cold!

Knights Who Won My Heart by Sonya Jesus is the fourth and final book in the Knights series. I was on the edge of my seat from about half way through until the very end. Cannot say enough good things about this book and series.
Holy cow a lot happens in this final installment with Lia and everyone else. Lots of twists and turns all the way through and the end will left me speechless and trying to just wrap my mind around it all.
This is not a book that can be read as a standalone, you have to read the first three and I don’t think you will regret that decision. I know I don’t. Ms. Jesus was a new to me author when I found this series but I know for certain I will be keeping an eye out for other books and series by her.

I have not read the other books in this series and was able to enjoy it without missing a beat. The way this author weaves a tale is wonderful. It’s one of those stories that I was able to immediately visualize in my head. Majik and warriors and lots of other things (there is a unicorn) in the amazing world the author has created.
This is one of those stories that has all of the elements similar to the writers who go by initials JR, (G) RR, CS and even JK. It’s epic and full and adventurous while moving the story forward with every word and character. While at times it is incredibly descriptive, it was never overly so. There were times that I absolutely skimmed because I just had to find out what was going on, but I don’t feel like anything was used as filler to up a word count.
I will be going back and reading the first 2 stories in the series and I will also be keeping an eye out for any books this author writes in the future.

Kadie Scott has once again shown me what an incredible author she is. Taming the Troublemaker is Book 3 in The Hills of Texas Series, this is my second book from her and as I said before I will definitely be going back and reading book 1. Out of the two, I have read, this one is definitely my favourite out of the two.
This book was everything and more! It had romance, passion, humour two amazing characters that are real, relatable and honestly the most lovable characters. Everything about them is brilliant. I love them both individually, but together they are even better, and it is just a shame it takes so long for both of them to realise, as they both prolong their HEA. What they have is something you can tell will be epic and forever, they have great banter together as well as passion that I don’t know how they went so long denying it and to make their connection even better was the feelings they had towards one little boy! I loved that this book was written in dual POV’s it really made me connect even more with Autry & Beth, I loved knowing what they were really thinking and feeling beyond what they actually said!
I cannot rate this book enough, I can’t wait to see what else Kadie Scott brings to this series and where Autry & Beth’s story goes, I hope this isn’t the last we get of their story. I highly recommend this read, don’t miss it!

S. Roberts – Review by Krystal Gaston
This is the conclusion to the Knight Series. Lia’s happily ever after right!? Hold that thought!
I love this book and this series. Sonya Jesus has continued her easy writing style with this story. The first three books were getting to know all the players while this book focused on The King and The Queen.
If you have read this series from the beginning, and you should, then you will already know that Hawk is a psycho! But if for some reason you were on the fence about him, read this:
“I can already feel Amelia’s tears moisturizing my skin when he passes. Until then, prolonging his death is the best punishment. Hope will slowly dissipate and leave her with nothing, until he finally dies and fills her with loss.”
Each surprise in this story had me shaking my head in disbelief and in wonder! The cliff hanger from Book 3 continues into this book and adds to the devastation, shock and down right heart break!
I loved every part of this book but the ending, absolute perfection! I can not wait to read more from Sonya Jesus!

I have read a couple of books from this talented author but she continues to blow my mind. This is the first book to Default Distraction series and wow what a great start. I absolutely love rock star romance but this author exceeded all my expectations. I was hooked to this story right from the beginning. It only took me a day to devour this incredible book.
Brody Daniels had a very hard childhood but now he is the lead singer of a huge rock band. He has it all money, women, and fast cars but he feels like something is missing. Brody wants something real. He knows that all his fame can be taken away. Brody is out for a walk to clear his head and he comes across this cute shop. He can’t help but to go inside. Brody meets the beautiful Amy Harper. He is shocked at how he feels for her. Brody can’t get enough of Amy. They get to know each other and they quickly realize they might have found the one. Will Amy be able to be in the spotlight like Brody or will it be too much for this small town girl? Will Brody convince Amy to take a chance with him or will his past try to destroy it all?
I absolutely loved this book. The storyline has it all romance, doubts, forgiveness, and love. You can’t help but to fall in love with these characters. Brody is a hot rockstar but deep down he wants the simple life. He loves what he does and he doesn’t take it for granted. The way he treats Amy will make your heart melt. Amy is a sweetheart. She loves her shop that she shares with her grandma but she wants something more. These characters have some steamy scenes that will make your temperature rise. This talented author will have you at the edge of your seat until the end. I can’t wait to read more about this incredible band. Review by @heatherbass View all my reviews

Hazed by Brittany Butler is book one in the Hazed series. Taylor is on her own for the first time, and she wants to enjoy making mistakes and making her own choices. And then she meets Hayze and her life really begins, her first love and heartbreak. You feel for both the main characters, at times they are hard to connect with, but you want to finish the story and see it through. Hazed is full on drama, firsts and regret.
If the Shoe Fits(The Liberty Lawrence Series Book 3) by Bea Stevens 4 Stars!!!!
I have to admit that once again I wasn’t disappointed. This is the third book in the series and I was just as glued to the pages as I was the previous two. The author keeps the drama flowing and brings the characters to life.
I really liked how the author is able to incorporate the drama into the book along with a very subtle romance undertone between Libby and James. There is just enough twists and turns in this book to keep the reader on their toes and keep them interested. I really found the intrigue in this book kept the flow of the story. The author has a very refreshing writing style and really brings the reader to route for Libby as the drama unfolds around her. I will definitely be reading more from this author in the future.

Seraphina’s Revolution by Sheena Hutchinson 5 Stars!!!!!
This is just the book I had been waiting for in this series. I have read the other previous books and was so eager for this one. I was not disappointed. The author has such a unique style and brings her characters to life.
I really enjoyed the chemistry that still was very present between Seraphina and Nate. The way that the author brings the story about really draws the reader in. Seraphina’s character really has the reader routing for her. The battle between good and evil really plays out in this book and I was glued to the book till the very end. I definitely will be reading more from this author in the future.

Brody (Default Distraction Book 1) by A.S. Roberts
5-stars
Brody was an amazing steamy romance. Amy and Brody both came from broken families and a messed up past. They each have their own methods in protecting themselves from heartache. When they meet though, the chemistry is unbelievable. I loved reading about each of their characters and history as the storyline progressed. Speaking of the storyline, I found it easy to follow and difficult to put down. It really seemed to flow from one scene to the next. I look forward to reading more in this series.

Seraphina’s Revolution is the fourth book in Sheena Hutchinson’s exciting Seraphina series. It continues the story of angels and demons, of prophecies and battles. As the book begins, Seraphina’s been getting a handle on the immense power she yields. She’s able to balance and control it, more or less. But it’s not long before she’s thrown off balance and is again struggling to keep herself from using her powers for the wrong thing. Dreams are used a lot, in different ways. I like the dream scenes as they break up the story and give us glimpses into the story ahead and the characters’ mindsets. They’re vividly described, as is the rest of the book! As well as continuing the story chronologically, Seraphina’s Revolution fills in gaps and information about the past. It’s very satisfying to read! For me, this is a five star book. I like this series a lot, and would recommend starting at the beginning. It’s great if you like action-packed fantasy – I think it would particularly appeal to fans of Buffy the Vampire slayer with its vivid action and training scenes and “chosen one” story arc.

Brody by A.S. Roberts is the first book in the Default Distraction series. If you like all things music and rock and roll then this is definitely a book for you. Surely if you have everything anyone could dream of then you must be happy, right? Wrong. At least it is for Brody Daniels, lead singer of the chart topping US rock band Default Distraction. He is bored of the lifestyle, of the cars, the money, the women. But more than anything he is bored of the pretence. Of convincing everyone that he is happy all the time. He wants something more from his life. Something more than he can get from the music and the fame. Amy Harper on the other hand definitely has something more. She has more debt than he will ever have. She has more struggles with her business than he will ever have. And she has definitely had more than enough of it all. So what happens when the two of them meet? What happens when their worlds collide? Can they go back to their realities? Or can they push for something more, together? This book has everything you could possible want. Hot rock star? Check. Strong woman? Check. Of the charts chemistry? Double check! I absolutely loved Brody and Amy together. I felt their connection and their chemistry from the instant they met. I found myself being swept away by their attraction. And this book wasn’t all about the connection. The story was such a good one because it was so relatable – we have all at one point or another wanted something more than we had. Even if we should have been happy with what we had. The writing keeps pace with this story beautifully and really holds your attention. Anyone who wants to be swept away needs to buy this book immediately.

Taming the Troublemaker by Kadie Scott is the third book in the Hills of Texas series. Each of these books can be read as a stand-alone. Having read another in this series I knew what to expect when I picked up this book. However I didn’t expect to connect with this characters as much as what I did. I loved reading about Beth and Autry. They have such strong emotions for each other and I believed everything about them. On top of that this was a great romantic story that was really heartwarming. The author creates a lovely journey for the two characters that is so easy to read. This is definitely s book worth reading.

Do yourself a favor and read The Seraphina Series in order. It’s really important to know the how and who of what is going on. (Prior to reading book 4, I skimmed back over the first 3 because I remember being a little lost when I started the third book and I wanted to have full knowledge of the characters.)
This whole series has been amazing from beginning to end. Now that it’s over, I will be going back to read the entire series back to back. It will be a little bit easier doing it a second time because I won’t be holding my breath waiting to see what happens.
If you had to ask me to pick a favorite scene from the series, I really could not. I could quote a hundred different moments (please don’t ask me when I don’t have my highlighted kindle in my hand) and convince you to love this series as much as I did. Yes I did enjoy some of the stories better than others – but each had a depth and complexity to it that moved the series along in such a way that I had a hard time waiting for the next story.
As the series continued, it got a little darker and more “adult”. As the character grew, so did the story (does that make sense). I really hope the author writes a future series that crosses over a bit – that is, after all, how we first met Seraphina.
I really enjoyed and recommend this entire series.

Captivated By The Millionaire by Nina Singh is a book in the Mills and Boon True Love series. It is the first time I have read a book by this author and also the first time I have ever read anything Mills and Boon. It is certainly not what I expected from a Mills and Boon novel. This book has a fantastic storyline and I was drawn into the story from the very first page. The characters are very well written and the author gives them great depth and you can’t help but get behind them and hope they get their HEA. The book has many of the factors which make for a great romance novel – angst, sizzling chemistry, broken characters and very much an opposites attract story. Jess is an artist who teaches at the children’s centre in Martha’s Vineyard. She’s been hurt badly in the past and a romance is definitely not on the cards for her. While painting a mural on a child’s bedroom she has her first meeting with brooding, gorgeous millionaire Jordan Paydan. Let’s just say their first meeting doesn’t go very well, or their second for that matter. Jordan has uprooted his to take care of his 6 year old sister Sonya who has been left in his care after the death of his father. Jordan’s priority is Sonya and he definitely does not have time in his life for a woman. So why can’t he stop thinking about the beautiful artist Jess? Neither of them are looking for love but they are drawn closer and closer together due to Sonya (who I must add, is the most adorable little girl). Will they give into the sizzling chemistry between them and admit their growing feelings for each other? I would thoroughly recommend you read this book to find out.

A great read about hope. Matt and Mikeala have found happiness in each other but it is always followed by a shadow of illness. Matt continues his battle with cancer, hoping that a potential bone marrow transplant from a sister he only just discovered can save the day. Together, Matt and Mikeala battle through it all, balancing moments of sorrow with ones of joy. But can they hope for a bright future when so much is at stake? A great read. Well developed plot with twists and turns that I just couldn’t put down. Well developed characters like Matt struggling to stay hopeful or Mikeala trying to be strong for Matt and still follow her passions. Great cast of supporting characters like Daniel as a fun friend or Kate stubborn and brave. I loved the sense of a large family in the novel full of love and support for one another. However, at times all the drama with his sister got confusing and perhaps could be simplified for the reader. I loved the use of contrasts in the novel with the whites of the hospital and the colourful decorations later on. Also with the moments of sadness and joy making the characters and their struggles more relatable and emotive. Or the bright hopes and dreams contrasting with the reality of illness perfectly written. I also liked the use of dates in the novel to give an indication of time progressing quickly for Matt which was a great addition. The mix of the science of hospitals and cancer with the romance of love and marriage combined perfectly to make a captivating read. Overall, a great read and I would give it five stars.

Matt continues his battle with cancer, hoping that a potential bone marrow transplant from a sister he only just discovered can save the day. Together, Matt and Mikeala battle through it all, balancing moments of sorrow with ones of joy. But can they hope for a bright future when so much is at stake? A great read. Well developed plot with twists and turns that I just couldn’t put down. Well developed characters like Matt struggling to stay hopeful or Mikeala trying to be strong for Matt and still follow her passions. Great cast of supporting characters like Daniel as a fun friend or Kate stubborn and brave. I loved the sense of a large family in the novel full of love and support for one another. However, at times all the drama with his sister got confusing and perhaps could be simplified for the reader. I loved the use of contrasts in the novel with the whites of the hospital and the colourful decorations later on. Also with the moments of sadness and joy making the characters and their struggles more relatable and emotive. Or the bright hopes and dreams contrasting with the reality of illness perfectly written. I also liked the use of dates in the novel to give an indication of time progressing quickly for Matt which was a great addition. The mix of the science of hospitals and cancer with the romance of love and marriage combined perfectly to make a captivating read. Overall, a great read and I would give it five stars.

I do have a soft spot for these kinds of stories (millionaires/billionaires – I think I just secretly want to find one!!) and have read quite a few however this is the first book that I have read by this author and I really enjoyed it! It was everything I love about a contemporary romance read. I loved the characters, Jess and Jordan. They really were opposites but as they say opposites attract! They did have an amazing chemistry that felt real and genuine. The first interaction between them was really sweet and melted my heart a little. I thought that the story was well written and had a great pace to it. I like the plot to the story and it definitely flowed really well. Overall a really lovely story that was well written and one that I highly recommend!

Turning The Tide ( Eastern Shores Swingers Book 5) By Phoebe Alexander. This is the 5th book in the Eastern Shores Swingers Series and it does not disappoint. Its the story of Luke Cannon who feels like he’s never going to feel intimate or love ever again. I fell in love with Luke and I would have gladly loved him. He’s had a hard life and he’s about to give up. Then he meets Connie who is independent, caring and compassionate. Sparks fly and he thinks maybe just maybe he can have love and happiness again. This book is full of sexy swinger stuff and I have loved this entire series. There is a swingers club in Ocean City, Maryland where love is free and sex is fun. Read Turning the Tide to see if the Tide really will Turn for Luke!

I give Knights Who Won My Heart: Knights Series Book 4 by Sonya Jesus, 4 stars. *This review may contain spoilers from previous books in the series.
Tragedy strikes close to Amelia again. But she she can’t lose him, he means everything to her. She just didn’t realize it until now. Move on, they say. But can she? Does she even want to? What is really going on at this campus? Will Amelia and her friends ever get the answers?
This is the fourth book in this series and by now you know all the main characters. But that doesn’t mean the author can’t keep throwing surprises at you that you won’t see coming. There is so much happening in this book. I literally could not put it down until I got to the end. In my opinion, this is the best book yet. The story is compelling, the characters continue to grow, and it makes you feel like you are right there with them.
I recommend this book and series for lovers of young adult books with romance and suspense.

Oh my goodness..What did I just read?? This is my 3rd book by this author and I will say that I have to break this review into 2 parts..first the story and characters themselves…I’ve never read a book and finished it where I was sad and angry through 80% of it, Van and Valencia’s little sister who was the absolute star in more ways than one in this story was probably the strongest most pitiful person I have ever read about. Her resolve with the way her life was was both heartbreaking and sort of inspiring..this still confuses me so I can’t explain what I mean by that, but I’ll just say this, I absolutely loved her. Then there’s Adrian, I think I’m still a bit confused on him, I feel like I need more, maybe from his POV…I was left thinking positive about him because that’s the way I wanted to end that part of the story, for me..
I really can’t say much more about the actual story itself, so now I have to move into the writing of this story. AMAZING!! When I got done reading I sat for like 30 minutes with question marks over my head blinking in bright neon, trying to digest everything that happened, then thinking back wondering if I missed something…I actually picked it back up and read the last few pages over again, praying there was more, wishing there was more and absolutely needing more. This was yesterday and I’m still struggling with how to write this review…I’ve finally decided it’s just like one of those movies you get done watching and are like wth, it can’t end like that…I’ve finished this story in my head and made each aspect end the way I wanted it to end and I’m happy with that 🙂 This was a brilliant read, I’ve read some of the reviews where so many were confused and I don’t understand that because I followed every word and every thought and I was literally consumed with the writing of this book. I have to say that this has already been placed on one of my favorites so far this year and I know that it will stay with me for a long time and I also know that I will reread this book, maybe many times in the future.
I would not be heartbroken if there was more of this story to come in the future, I would be the first in line if this happened and I can’t wait for more from this author.
I 100% loved this book, I 100% recommend anyone that wants to read quality crafted writing to sit down and tune out everything around them and read this story!!
The Reason Why By: Izzibella Beau 5 out of 5 stars
The story The Reason Why by Izzibella Beau is a wonderful book that I loved reading. It is a story that hooked me in from the beginning and I didn’t want to put down until I had read the final page. I loved reading about the characters of Alabama, Joshua, and Hunter. Alabama is a young girl whose life, because of her mother’s actions, has been upended. She is being sent to live with her mom’s best friend from high school. She didn’t realize that she would also be living with Joshua and Hunter. Joshua is like a best friend to Alabama. He makes her feel welcome and at home. Hunter however is moody and mostly ignores her. She is appreciative of the kindness she is shown and does her best to fit in. Living with them is at times filled with tension. What happens when feelings start to occur? What does the future hold for Hunter, Joshua, and Alabama? Read this book to find out. This is a story that had my feelings going up and down the entire time I was reading it. I came to care about Alabama, Joshua, and Hunter with each chapter that I read. I wanted them to all find happiness. There are sad moments that tear at your heart and other times that are heartwarming. The characters are well-developed and the story is engaging. It is one that I would highly recommend reading.
The story Cinderfella is a fantasy book that I loved reading. It is a story that is sweet, romantic, and hooked me in from the very beginning. The story is wonderful, the characters are well-developed, and I couldn’t help but care about the farm boy and the girl who is on the run. They are characters that I was rooting for to find happiness. The farm boy is handsome, hardworking, and cares about others. The girl has all the luxuries in life. What happens when there two worlds collide? Read this book to find out. There are moments that make you laugh, smile, and are heartwarming. I enjoyed the bantering that goes back and forth. Add in a bit of magic and you have the perfect tale that you won’t want to put down until you have read the last page. This is a wonderful telling of a story. I highly recommend reading it.

I’d always been sure of three things… I’d never move back to Sugar Creek. I’d never end up like my deadbeat parents. And no matter how much I loved her, I’d never touch Remington Ashby.
I left Sugar Creek in the dust years ago. But when my father was being released from prison, I had to head home. My little brother needed me.
I didn’t need to see her. Gorgeous, frightened… Still wearing a wedding dress and sitting on my bed instead of walking down the aisle.
I can’t want her. My little sister’s best friend is pure. Off-limits. A rich girl from the other side of the tracks. The right side.
But now that I have her again, this time I’m not letting her go.
