My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Fatal Legislation is the second book in Ellen Butler’s Karina Cardinal Mystery series! She opened the series with a bang and set a bar so high that one had to ask oneself if she would be able to deliver again AND SHE DID! She gave us a smashing political mystery thriller that doesn’t leave anyone cold!
The writer gives us danger, intrigue, suspense, action, FBI investigation … and also a dash of romance (oh yeah, go Mike Finnegan!!!). Karina becomes a ‘person of interest’ in the death of a senator she was arguing with when he dropped dead at her feet and off she goes … Karina cannot leave the investigation for the FBI (remember what happened the last time!!!) so off she goes in the midst of her budding relationship with the FBI agent Mike Finnegan playing politics and following the money trail …
The writer has a way of pulling us into the story so that you cannot put the book down and she pulls from what is happening around us and what we struggle with/are unhappy with (Big Pharma and politics surrounding it). And as a present to all of us strong women, she has given us a one strong female heroine who doesn’t take any prisoners!

The Moon in Her Eyes: A Witch’s Tale (Witch Series) by Nikki Broadwell- Review by Emma Morreale

The Moon in Her Eyes: a witch's taleThe Moon in Her Eyes: a witch’s tale by Nikki Broadwell
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

First off, this is the second book in the series and I read this one first. I don’t feel like I was missing out on any information that was super important to the plot of this book but I normally suggest reading a series in order.
The first chapter threw me for a loop because you are thrown right into some sort of ritual and the chapter ends abruptly with the next one starting by letting you know what specific year it is. I spent a minute trying to figure out if that had any bearing on what I had just read and why that wasn’t also put at the beginning of the book. Dialogue got a bit messy and confusing in chapter two and usually this would be enough to turn me off of a book but I could already tell this was my kind of story.
The main character, Emeline, is a time traveling witch. She is living in 1694 when she gets a surprising visit from her sister, Jean, who lives in the modern age. Jean tries to convince Emeline to come back with her but little bits of what she is saying don’t match up with her sister’s memories. I think about this kind of ramification of time travel all the time so I IMMEDIATELY latched on to this, ready for anything.
There were one or two bits that I couldn’t suspend my disbelief for (like a 16 year old living through the 2010’s and having no idea what sex is) but for the most part I really enjoyed reading this book and will absolutely be picking up the first book in the series.

The Confectioner’s Coup, Book 2 in the Confectioner Chronicles Series by Claire Luana
4 out of 5 Stars
What a great book! This fantasy novel is a continuation from the first Confectioner Chronicles. We are following again with Wren. Wren, for lack of a better word….is bored. She is always so busy, and after the events of the first book. Who could blame her? But be careful what you wish for.
A hostile army begins to appear outside of the city and people are starting to worry that they will take seize of the city. Members of the Guild begin to go missing. Wren has her own suspicion of who is behind the disappearances of the Guild members. Wren enlists the help of her boyfriend and close friends to help her find the missing Guild members.
This story was an emotional heart wrencher. If you are tender hearted, this book may not be for you, but if you are steeled for a good cry and love a good mystery. This is the book for you.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The Moon in her eyes is the first book I have read by Nikki Broadwell, but it is the second in the series. I was a little lost at the beginning as I didn’t know the character or the situation, however that lost feeling quickly went away as I joined Emeline on an incredible adventure through time. Reading about a time traveling witch, is something new to me, but something I certainly enjoyed reading.

This was an easy to read book with some characters that were helpful to Emeline and some that I wished she had used her magic on. I enjoyed reading this story so much that I plan to get book one, A Witch in Time Saves Nine. There are references to that story in The Moon so I have a good idea what happens there, but since the writing style and story line is so intriguing I can’t wait to read more! I recommend reading this series in order.

Souls Collide (Collide Series #3)Souls Collide by Kristina Beck
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Souls Collide is a great read and I will admit I will be going to read the other books in the series as this is the first book I read. Kristina Beck is a new author to me and I would have to admit that I had not read her books before. She has developed characters, very descriptive scenery, and gives just enough details on the page to make you want to turn the page to see what happens next. The story is about Alexa and Kent. At first you get introduce to Alexa who you believe has everything going for her, but when she meets Kent she melts because now she wants him. Kent is the police officer with some bad happenings with relationships. Will Alexa get close to Kent to tear walls down or will Kent keep the walls up? Will Kent’s protective nature kick in when Alexa seems to have attracted a stalker? You will have to read to find out the answers to these questions.

The Confectioner’s Coup is the second book in the Confectioner Chronicles series by Claire Luana. If you enjoyed the first book, then this book will not disappoint you at all. Get yourself ready to meet new characters which you will either like or dislike, but they help make this book enjoyable. I will say this book contains so much sadness and may take you on a roller coaster of emotions. But on saying that it has a few twists and turns that you want to keep turning the page. Book one is my favorite so far in this series, but I am looking forward to book three and a nicer ending.

5 Stars!!!!!

I am once again not let down. This is the second book in this series and the third book including the prequel to the series that I have read. The author really has such a great way of grabbing the reader and keeping you at the edge of your seat. I really found myself getting lost in this magical confectioner’s world she has created.

I have to say that the more I read about Wren’s life the more I really find I am drawn to her character. She has gone through so much in her short time in the Guild and then to have to endure more. She is a very strong leading character and the author does such a great job of developing her character around the drama that unfolds. I really felt all the emotions vicariously as Wren went through them and in this book she has a roller coaster of them. She winds up losing so much and yet she still has Lucas. I really felt my heart in my throat as the book came to the ending and once again to have the book on a cliff hanger of sorts really has me anxious for the next book in the series. I will definitely be reading more from this author and the series.

A Second Chance (The Powder River Pack #1) by Brooke May – Review By Chantelle Smith

A Second Chance (The Powder River Pack #1)A Second Chance by Brooke May
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

A Second Chance is Book One in the Powder River Pack Series from author Brooke May. This is my first read from this author and boy oh boy has she made a brilliant introduction.
I knew I would love this read immediately from just reading the synopsis. It had everything I love from a paranormal romance read, but I must say I loved this read even more now that I have read it. I cannot wait to read the others in this series, to see if Annabelle & Derek’s story continues or we get some of the amazing secondary characters stories. This was a brilliant second chance, romance read with the twist of paranormal weaved through. I loved this take on werewolves, that even though it followed some things we are used to reading about them, Brooke May also made them more mysterious and intriguing compared to normal werewolves. This didn’t at all take away the impact of the story, in fact, it made it that much more compelling as I wanted to find out more about Derek’s heritage.
Anna & Derek’s relationship was one all anyone could wish for in the beginning, but I also couldn’t imagine the pain these two went through! These two definitely went through some ups and downs in this read, but there was something about them that made them relatable, real and loveable from the get-go that you couldn’t help but root for them to get their HEA, especially when truths are revealed and twists are thrown into the mix to make this read even more captivating.

This was a brilliant read made even better by the fact it was written in dual POV’s it gave us more insight into our characters – what they were really thinking and feeling and gave greater depth and realness to our main characters.
I can’t wait to see what else this author bring to this series, I’ll be eagerly awaiting Book 2. Do not miss this read!

What another lovely Christmas read from Ms Abbott! I really do adore her writing and always find myself completely absorbed in her stories from the very beginning. I love Christmas stories and this is probably one of my favourites, I just felt so warm and fuzzy on the inside whilst reading it. It is definitely one of those stories that could totally be turned into a Christmas film! I know I would watch it! I loved Kat and Dan so much! They were so, so perfect together! They had this connection over coffee of all things but it was something that brought them together! As always the author threw in a couple of curve balls to the story line but I was absolutely rooting for Kat and Dan the whole way through!
A fantastic Christmas read that I highly recommend! I can’t wait to read more from this author again in the future!

The Crazy YatesThe Crazy Yates by Kimberly Packard
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

 

The Crazy Yates is a delightful Christmas story by Kimberly Packard. This is a novella length book, which makes it a very quick and easy read. I really enjoyed meeting Laila and her quirky and somewhat dysfunctional family. This story was really well written and captures some of the wonder and magic of Christmas, while also giving us a glimpse at what being a ‘family’ really means. There was quite a lot going on in a very small space, but the story never felt rushed or like it may have been lacking in anyway. Ms. Packard choreographed all the elements beautifully and had me smiling quite a lot through the story, and there were places where the story was quite emotive too, which made my heart ache for them.
Laila is a really great character, who took on an enormous amount of responsibility at a very young age. Now at 22, her burden has become even harder to carry when she discovers the business she works for will be closing down, and come the new year, she will no longer have a job. Living in a small town, there are not many jobs available- so all the stress and fear of wondering what to do, is taking a toll on her. What will she do? What will her family do when they discover that she’s lost her job? Will luck be on her side, finally??
This is a lovely, sweet, small town Christmas story! It’s well worth the read!

Thank you, Ms. Packard!

Guilty Pleasures Volume 2 is a short exhilarating read. At just under 50 pages it really does pack a punch for its size. I have read the first book in the collection, but I would say it isn’t necessary to enjoy this one. This is a foray into the adventures of Brad and his sexual explorations. I really won’t go into the juicy details because well, it’s a 50 page book so you should get those goodies for yourself but, this is one you don’t want to miss. Whether you are looking for that short reprieve from your long grueling work day, or just need to unwind from the crazy and exhausting day of motherhood, this is the book you will want to slip into your routine to break it up. I look forward to seeing what will come next from Joyce McCarthy, and thank you so much for the little escape Ms. McCarthy!

I have always enjoyed paranormal, fantasy, magic, thriller, and mystery books. Dia Cole Claming Her Mates is a great story. Ms. Cole has developed characters that kept my interest the entire time. I am not a huge fan of romance stories, but I do like the paranormal romance stories. Another thing I like about the paranormal stories is the only limitation is the reader’s imagination. I love all the twists, turns, bends, good, and the bad things that come with the territory of paranormal stories. This story is about Havana and three protectors. There is a problem on the horizon, and will Havana stay safe? Read on to find out.

I loved this collection so so much. I have read books by a couple of these authors and loved them, what I really like is that now I have a few more authors to follow. Every story in this anthology was a 5 star read for me, a few of them I didn’t want to end and wish they could have been longer. Each one had a common thread with the hero part of the storyline, and this was shared by each author in a different way.

I don’t normally like reading anthologies and the only reason I took a chance on this one was a couple of the authors I have already experienced and the Christmas theme because I love anything Christmas. This one had everything I want in my books and I’m so very glad I picked it up.

I highly recommend reading this and I also can not wait to read it again next Christmas.

Many thanks to these extremely talented authors.

This was a quick, easy to read, amazingly awesome story. I have grown to love this author so so much and this short but jam packed full of awesomeness just strengthened that so much more.

I felt every emotion in this story that was meant to be felt. I’ve read a lot of Christmas Stories but this one hit the mark. It was probably as real as it gets and on one hand so so sad, yet on the other so emotionally inspiring. I loved Callie and I felt for her as she was so strong and forced to take on the world’s problems for her family at such a young age.

I hated for this story to end, I loved reading about this family and wish there was more about Callie and her future. I loved loved loved and adored the end of this amazing story!

I give Beachcomber Gone: Beachcomber Investigations Book 9: a Romantic Detective Series by Stephanie Queen, 5 stars.
*This review contains spoilers from previous books in the series*

Dane and Shana have finally decided to get married. But before they do, Shana wants to take him to Australia to meet her family. But it isn’t the vacation they hoped. Before they even touch down, they are warned of trouble. She has enemies who know of her trip and are waiting for her. The only people besides her family that know of her trip are her former coworkers from the police force. Could one of them have betrayed her? What exactly will they do if they get her? Can Dane keep her safe?

This book has all the action you would expect if you have read any of the books in this series. But this time they are in a different country. It fits right in with the other books in the series, yet it is different so you won’t feel like you’ve read it before. Plus Dane and Shana are a great main couple. Not to mention that we meet more new characters. I would really love to see more of Shana’s mother in future books.

I highly recommend this book if you like your action with a side of romance. I for one could not put it down once I started.

The Reckless Anthology is a fabulous read from beginning until end. This anthology consists of 4 incredible novellas by 4 phenomenal authors. Layla’s Chance by Mika Jolie, Dirty Martinis by P.M. Carson, Into the Deep by Kylie Stewart and finally The Spy Who Kissed Me by Sharla Lovelace. All these books are well worth the read, however, two of them really stood out to me!

Layla’s Chance by Mika Jolie is such an amazing novella that hooked me right from the get-go. It’s steamy, sexy, romantic and oh so hot! The story flowed really well given the length and I really enjoyed this authors writing style, she was able to connect me to these characters in just a handful of chapters.

Dirty Martinis by P.M. Carson is the best novella I’ve ever read! It’s non-stop go, steamy, romantic and incredibly emotional. This novella ended much too soon for my liking as I could have continued reading about these characters for hours. I can’t wait to read more from this author in the future as I enjoyed this story so very much.

Honestly, I have no complaints about this anthology. It was phenomenal from beginning until end and I’m so happy that I dove right in. I would absolutely recommend this book to anyone looking for their next romance reads!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the second book in the Confectioner Chronicles Series and I suggest reading Book 1 first as this picks up only a short time after the first story ends.

As with book 1, THE CONFECTIONER’S COUP is full of well developed / well defined characters. There were a few times I was getting characters from the first book confused but there are simple explanations as to who is who which did not bog down the story.

This story has a bit more twists and turns and isn’t as shiny and bright as one would expect. I think it’s a perfect combination of dark and light – well balanced. There are characters I do not care for and that’s what makes it interesting for me. I was anxious to see if the story would go “my way” so I kept turning the pages.

I think this book would be appropriate for middle school and higher for those that like to read fantasy stories (not THOSE kinds of fantasies).

This book gets 4 solid stars from me.

Fatal Legislation a Karina Cardinal Mystery is the second and brilliant book in the series by Ellen Butler. I enjoyed the first book but loved this one. Ellen has come up with a story that is full of danger and mystery, drama and suspense, intrigue and politics and has done a wonderful job of weaving it all together and making it into a gripping read. Throw in the FBI, an assassin, secret operatives and Karina Cardinal and you have a compelling murder mystery and an unpredictable story that you cannot put down. So much so I read it in one sitting. It has a fast pace read but it flows smoothly and is so, so, easy to read and get lost in. Karina Cardinal cracks me up. The situations she finds herself in sometimes boggles the mind. Her trusty side kick had me laughing out loud and I hope he continues in further stories. Karina is smart and hardworking, sassy and independent and once she is on to something she won’t let go and her boyfriend is determined she is going to give him a heart attack. Ellen is a great storyteller, leaving us hanging on every word and guessing the whole way through to the end. Trust me Ellen is one author that everyone should put on their read list. I cannot wait for the next Karina installment.

While some bonds break, fate built theirs to last forever.

Winning the battle against Melia was supposed to give Trinity and Blain a chance to live a normal life. The problem is another evil has taken the Rogue’s place, shattering any promise of a future Trinity hoped to have with her sworn guardian.

Darkness now controls Blain.

Freeing his soul is a challenge Trinity gladly accepts, but rescuing the love of her life comes with one major complication. To save him she must go through Cronus, the ancient god who holds Blain’s light hostage.

Every Watcher Trinity enlisted failed.

Nothing is too extreme if it releases Blain. Summoning a forgotten god is dangerous, but for help in the fight against Cronus it’s worth the risk. In the end, she’ll even gamble her own soul to set Blain’s free.

Protecting humankind isn’t just a destiny Trinity was born to uphold—it’s her rite of passage. One that may cost her life.

Reckless: A Steamy Contemporary Romance Anthology by Various Authors – Review by Anastasia Dodson

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

5 Stars

This is composed of four awesome novellas by four authors. All of them are new to me but after reading this I will for sure be reading more by all of them. The novellas are titled Layla’s Chance, Dirty Martinis. Into the Depp and The Spy Who Kissed Me. All of them had fantastic characters (some were freakin hilarious!!) and I just wanted to be their friends and go have a coffee date with them. Each of the four women had something big in their lives change suddenly and none of them were prepared to deal with it. It was interesting to see how they navigated through their problems and at some points I wasn’t sure if they’d make it out on the other side. Each story is amazing in its own way and I highly recommend reading this anthology!

I jumped into this book quickly. What a fantastic new world the author has created. Complex and detailed, this dystopian fantasy felt realistic and relatable. The author gives the main character a great voice. The universe created for these characters is one I look forward to visiting again very soon.

This is the first 3 books in the series and I absolutely loved all three of them! Each one of them is a different couple and their stories as they strive for something better. One word to describe these couples is CHEMISTRY! And a lot of it. These stories were hot and steamy and I couldn’t get enough of each of them. I am looking forward to reading more by this author and I would recommend this to a friend.
