The Confectioner’s Truth (Confectioner Chronicles Book 3) By: Claire Luana 5 out of 5 stars
The story The Confectioner’s Truth (Confectioner Chronicles Book 3) by Claire Luana is a thrilling/fantasy/romance book. It is the final story in the Confectioner’s Chronicles and is one that I loved reading. It is a page-turning book that had me wondering what was going to happen next, who was going to be victorious, and would all the characters survive? There is action, adventure, and danger. It had me hooked until I had read the final page. Wren has been the one character that I really loved reading about in this series. She is strong, independent, and loyal. The beginning of this story finds her feeling guilt, heartbroken and wondering what to do next. She feels the sting of betrayal and the loss of others. Will Wren be able to pull together an alliance that can defeat the new enemy that now rules Alesia? Will they be successful or will those who now rule Alesia be too strong to defeat? Can Wren’s shattered heart be pieced back together? Read this book to find out. The story is fast-paced. I enjoyed reading about the additional characters, many of which have already been introduced in the first two stories. I have grown to love many of them and wanted them to be successful. There are also new characters introduced. There are times when questions are raised by actions that are taken. Evil plans are in motion and must be stopped. The book had my heart beating a little faster with each chapter that I read. Awesome read and one I highly recommend.

This book is all about the Christmas spirit! A Prickly Christmas Kiss by Allyson R. Abbott is the first book in the Christmas Kiss series. Emma or as her friend Carla calls her ELF due to her initials goes to a small town called Polerton, which oddly resembles the North Pole. She was supposed to go with Carla but Carla couldn’t make it. When she gets there she meets Mr. & Mrs. C, who seems to be just like Mr. & Mrs. Clause. When she finally gets to the cabin she learns quickly that living up in the woods isn’t as easy as it looks. Then there comes Sue. Sue is what ELF named this stray cat that found her. Sue is curiously smart and always knows what ELF needs. Sue’s name in the end was actually Santa’s Little Helper! For a few days ELF and Sue get into all kinds of mischief when she meets the local veterinarian/part-time police officer Rudi. Coincidentally, Rudi has a bright red nose when she meets him. Rudi is instantly attracted to ELF. This story is so cute that I couldn’t put this book down. Now, this book is definitely a romantic type of book rather than an erotic one due to the lack of sexy scenes. But I think that if the story were to have any sex scenes it would ruin it. I love it just as it is. I also love when animals are added to the storyline and especially when they have a comedic role just as Sue did. I truly enjoyed this book a lot and I cannot wait to read the next in the series!

ABBOTT – REVIEW BY MELISSA AGENA
Luana does it again! This second installment in the series definitely does not disappoint. The world building, character development, storytelling … all are spellbinding and right on point. I can’t say enough good things about this author and series and certainly cannot wait to read more. Loved it!
Guilty Pleasures Volume 2: Guilty Pleasures by Joyce McCarthy
4 Stars
This was a quick short read, only 48 pages and full of steamy content. It was hard getting into a lot of it because everything moved so fast and consisted mainly of hot steamy sex scenes while travelling through Brads fantasies. Come to think of it, the sexual content would make this book a prime candidate for a film adaptation on a website such as fuckvideos.xxx. I would definitely be intrigued to see how the storyline would pan out in a movie. As you can probably guess, I definitely would not recommend this book for anyone under 18.
This is my 3rd book by this author and I do think I enjoyed the first Guilty Pleasures a bit more than this one, but in saying that it was kind of nice not having a heavy plot going on and I could just read, which is why I guess I wish each fantasy had a bit more to it.
Would recommend this to anyone looking for a quick read full of erotica without much plot, I will say this author writes this genre very well.
It Ends Tonight (Bayou Devils MC Book 4) By A.M. Myers
This book gripped me from the beginning and held on to me throughout the entire story. I fell in love with this series since I read the first book and each story just gets better and better. This book can be read as a standalone but I would recommend reading all of them because they are all awesome stories and if your like me you will want to know all of the characters better. Lucas and Quinn’s story took through the emotional ringer and I loved every minute of it!! This is a must read to find out if they get their HEA. They are both very strong characters because they had to be and they have both been through so much that I found myself rooting for them. I highly recommend this book it is a truly wonderful book.

A Tangy Christmas Kiss by Allyson R. Abbott Four Stars
A Tangy Christmas Kiss is the second book in the Christmas Kiss Series by Allyson R. Abbott. This book can definitely be read as a standalone. This is a very fun, laugh out loud holiday story. It had me hooked from the very first page and I couldn’t put it down until the last. Mel is going to Spain to help her aunt at her mother’s request. What she thought would be a vacation at the beach, turns into a whole lot more. This story proves if something can go wrong, it will. From the beginning thing went from bad to worse. Delayed layovers, bad news, language barrier are just a few of the difficulties that Mel encounters. When she reaches her destination, she realizes she is way over her head. If you are looking for a super sweet, heartwarming holiday book, this is a perfect book to choose. Allyson R. Abbott is one of my favorite go to authors, especially when I’m looking for a good laugh. Her books always pick me up and I love how she jumps around in her genres. I highly recommend this book and author.

Abbott – Review by Sunday Barnaby
If any day calls for a soothing glass of wine, it’s today.
One moment, Capitol Hill lobbyist Karina Cardinal is having a heated discussion with Senator Harper, who just torpedoed her latest health care legislation initiative. The next, after a cryptic remark, the senator is dead at her feet. Hours later, she’s still so rattled she wakes to a freezing apartment because she forgot to close her back door. Or did she?
When her boyfriend, FBI cybercrimes expert Mike Finnegan, is suddenly reassigned to work a new case, he’s got bad news and worse news. The bad: the senator’s death was no heart attack—it was assassination by a hacker disabling his pacemaker. Worse: Karina’s a “person of interest.”
Certain that status could change to “suspect” at any moment, Karina begins her own back-channel investigation into who could have wanted the senator dead. Of course, in Washington, that means playing politics and following the money trail. A trail that leads to more murders…and possibly leaving the door open for a killer to change her status to “dead.”
Ellen Butler is a bestselling author writing critically acclaimed suspense and award-winning historical fiction. Her experiences working at a medical association in Washington, D.C. inspired the Karina Cardinal series. She is a member of Sister’s in Crime, International Thriller Writers, and the Office of Strategic Services Society.

Healing Danger was a great 5 star read and book one in the Fortis Security series. Once you start you will not want to put it down until your done.
Lauren and Dane had some not so great pasts that caused them both to be leary about opening their hearts up to each other. Their stories will tug at your heartstrings and you will understand the “why’ behind their issues. They were made for each other. Of course their journey isn’t an easy one, they do have their challenges.
There are unexpected twist and turns and the secondary characters added a great element to the story as well. This is a great book with suspense, romance, and so much more. I was pulled right in with Maddie’s writing. I can’t wait to read the rest of the series. If you’re looking for a great series and a great group of characters 1-click and get started today on the Security series.
Healing Danger : A Fortis Security Novel Book 1 (Fortis Security Series)
By Maddie Wade
5 +++++++++++ Stars
LOVE LOVE LOVE!! I’ve read the majority of this series and although they can be read as standalones I am so happy I finally went back and read book 1. This is absolutely one of my favorite series ever, and this author is in my top 10 all time favorites.
Dane and Lauren have been one of my favorite couples in this series and I’m so glad to finally have their story. I love how all of this came together and she also has a way of leaving me normally with cliffhangers that make me want to scream but in this series she doesn’t do that…What she DOES do is give you little snippets of what is to come all wound up in the ending of these books and just when you think YES no cliffhanger…BOOM she knocks you in the head with needing the next book like right now. Sorry i know that’s all a bit dramatic but its fact! LOL
Fortis Security and all that are involved with it are simply amazing, i finally got to read about all of the characters I have grown to love and see how this all began. It was kind of fun reading them out of order but now that I’ve read book 1, I will continue and reread every one of them again.
If you have not read anything by Maddie Wade first What are you waiting for? And Second start right here you will fall in love!!
A Pink Christmas Kiss is a cute romance novel by Allyson R. Abbott. It is book 3 in her Sweet Holiday/Christmas Romance series, and one of my favorites. It drew me right in and kept me hooked until the end. I was rooting for a happily ever after, and was not disappointed. The characters were very real and relate able and I loved seeing both sides of their disagreements. Billie and Leroy were high school sweethearts, that ended abruptly when Billie moved away to New York City, expecting Leroy to follow. Leroy stayed home, expecting Billie to come back home to him. The lack of communication built walls and feelings of disappointment and hurt. When Billie returns home 5 years later to take over her dad’s business, she is hoping to rekindle the relationship. But, is it too late?

A Prickly Christmas Kiss by Allyson R. Abbott is a five star novel. This is the first novel in the Christmas Kiss series. I am excited to continue reading this series. The puns in this book are awesome. I love how every character and place had its’ name for a reason and are all holiday themed. Emma Louise Fallon is the main character and goes by the name of Elf. She cannot believe her friend has bailed on her for their Christmas time apart from family drama. Her new man is no longer because of his lying and cheating ways. She needs this time with her girlfriend to regenerate her love for life otherwise she just might explode. But when she finds herself in this secluded cabin, alone, she isn’t sure if she is going to survive. Then a man shows up and tries to be her Prince Charming. Will she allow him into her life or will she continue to push everyone away?

The Moon in Her Eyes Book Two A Witch’s Tale by Nikki Broadwell
Four Stars
This story was a little confusing. I got lost a lot and had to go back and reread some parts. I did enjoy the story. It was a different direction than most books take. Usually the lead has all this power and stops the bad guy. In this story Em has some powers but doesn’t know how to use them. She isn’t really on board to defeat the bad guy until her man gets involved. I am still not too sure about Helga. She doesn’t vibe right to me. The plot isn’t explained at all doing the book. I’m still trying to figure out what lead to Lourie being this way and why is she after Em. It’s an interesting read with the time traveling and magic.

5-Stars
This was such a sweet Christmas romance between Elf and Rudi. I felt like I was able to connect with Elf more while reading since the storyline focused more on her. I also loved Sue the cat. He was precious and played a key role in this novel. The storyline was easy to follow and kept my attention preventing me from putting this book down. I cant wait to read more in the Christmas Kiss series .

Four romances by four different authors all in one! Each was unique and addictive in it’s own way. Reckless decisions that led to a whirlwind of events. I loved all the stories but my favorite was definitely Dirty Martinis. The main characters in each story were developed well. I felt like the story line in Dirty Martinis hit me more emotionally than the others with Rachel’s mom battling cancer. I highly recommend this anthology. You won’t be disappointed!

Healing Danger A Fortis Security Novel Book 1 Fortis Security Series By Maddie Wade ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ This is a suspenseful paranormal romance story. Filled with plenty of suspense.
Maddie Wade has really set this book up well. There will be no spoilers here, as you just need to read this fast paced story. Her characters, both good and evil, will keep you turning the pages. I love all the angst that is between the small family, that make up the Fortis Security team. I also love the angle this story has taken, and look forward to reading the series as it comes available. Never before have I read a story so full and yet so complete. Job well done Maddie Wade!
I read Primogénito first and was pretty confused by it. I finally got the prequel I desperately needed! This book shed so much light on everything that happens in Primogénito that I may actually read that one again. Fans of Stephen King will enjoy these book just for the sheer creepiness of the Fuentes family. It almost would be less terrifying if these books were set in a fantasy world. Damian’s father, Leo, is the first to try an escape the life of ritual and torture that has been his family’s legacy for centuries. Renato will not tolerate this act of betrayal by his son and kidnaps his grandson to continue the family traditions. Damian suffers more than any child should have to bear for the sins Renato says Leo has committed. Jenn is Damian saving grace and even though I’m doing my absolute best to distance what I know about Primogénito so I don’t spoil anything, I still think Jenn is the only one with even a shred of common sense even though she loves a man who has gone through worse than Hell and will carry it with him forever. If you like King levels of dark and twisted, read this first and then Primogénito.

This is hands down one of my all time favorite series. Each story will take you on a whirlwind of emotions but they lead you to the perfect ending.
Eastern Shore Swinger’s Club is the most popular swingers club in the mid Atlantic. If you are part of the lifestyle, this is the club you want to be in!
The one thing I loved about this series is how REAL the conflicts and emotions are. Yes, there are definite sexy times in the books but its so much more. The emotions and issues the characters face is something we all all face with our own relationships. I loved seeing how the characters faced their problems and coming out into their own in the swinging community.
Miss Alexander’s writing is superb! The stories she weaves are nothing less than perfect. Once you read book 1 you’ll be dying to start 2 and 3 right away!

Claiming Her Mates from author Dia Cole is Book 1 in the Claiming Her Mates Series. This was an incredible introduction to this author and I cannot wait to read the others in this series. This has got to be one of the best reads that I have read in a while. I love this take on a apocalyptic world where a flu epidemic is about to wipe out the entire human species by turning them into zombies – what more could you ask for, oh I know 3 extremely hot, sexy alpha males who all happen to be Lykos shifters(werewolves) sworn to protect a beautiful female.
This book was filled with passion, sexiness, action, drama, mystery, & fear. I was captivating and compelled while reading this book. This author has created an incredible imaginative read, full of twists, incredibly lovable and amazing characters and a read that will last with me for quite some time I love it so much I read it in one sitting. Each of these characters brought something brilliant to this story, whether it was how Mason, Gabriel or Liam’s different personalities impacted how they were with Havana, how each of their sizzling, intense and immediate connections with Havana brought an extra depth to this read that I loved.
Another great thing with this book is that it was written in dual POV’s. I love reading it from the characters POV’s as we get to really see their thoughts and feeling from them rather than the other person. I also think it helps connect with a character as you get to understand some of their reasons of their actions!
This read was everything I thought it would be and more! I loved it and now will be eagerly awaiting Book 2 in this series.

A Tangy Christmas Kiss By Allyson R. Abbott Rated 4 stars
Mel is a city girl who has been temporarily transplanted to a farm. She has quite the time trying to learn the ins and outs. Thankfully she has the next door neighbor to help her out. As well as a handsome stranger she met at the airport. I did much chuckling at the antics this poor girl got herself into. I will also say I will never think of lemons the same way again after reading this!
This is a sweet little Christmas story. The characters are fun and interesting. The story dragged for me a bit but the sped up and it got more engaging. I do recommend this if you are looking for a fun, flirty Christmas story.

Abbott – Review by Erica Fish
The Confectioners Coup by Claire Luana is the second book in the Confectioner Chronicles. This series ideally needs to be read in order as it follows the same character on her journey. This author effortlessly pulls you back into Wrens story and the troubles she is facing. With new enemies and a dangerous mission ahead of her Wren has to put her wits and courage to the test once more. This series for me keeps getting better. Each book is a new turn in the road and it is making this a very exciting journey. I found this book to be fast paced and intriguing. I cannot wait to see what book 3 has in store!
Reckless: A Steamy Contemporary Romance Anthology by Mika Jolie , Kylie Stewart, P.M. Carson, Sharla Lovelace. This is an amazing set of stories. My absolute favorite was Mika Jolie’s Layla’s Chance. Its about Layla a high powered attorney who always followed the straight and narrow. On her 40th birthday she is passed over for a promotion that she was sure to get. Fed up with the everything she takes off to Martha’s Vineyard for the weekend and meets a guy named Chance. They have automatic chemistry and she lets loose for the weekend.

They helped to set the tone and mood of the book. Sweet and adorable!

Christmas With the Millionaire Cowboy By: Joann Baker & Patricia Mason. “Ryan left the house as fast as his cowboy shod feet allowed.

He was tired of pretending. He wanted to drag her beneath the Christmas tree and see just how naughty he could be.” A steamy stepbrother romance that has a touch of holiday magic- which makes for very entertaining reading!
I went into this book not really knowing what to expect but have now come out the other side totally impressed. All the stories are really quite wonderful and engrossing, with fantastic plots, varied characters who are complex and fully developed- and each story was really well written. There are some very suspenseful, mind blowing twists and surprises; some funny, light-hearted and touching moments; some hot and spicy times, and some tender romance. But come the end of the book you will reflect back with a smile on your face! I really recommend this Anthology- you won’t regret buying it! It is worth every cent of the purchase price- 23 books for the price of one! Now that’s a bargain!

Venganza: The Fuentes Legacy by Greta Cribbs is the prequel to Primogénito and tells Damian’s story. It is a compelling, quick and easy read. There is suspense, drama and intrigue- with were gut-wrenching and heart breaking moments that kept me glued to the pages. I couldn’t look them away because I really needed to know what happened. I devoured it in one sitting! Ms. Cribbs really did a fantastic job with this story. The plot had so much happening in it- but she coordinated it all into an exciting and captivating read. She has such a great eye for detail and a fabulous imagination. I really don’t want to say too much more, because I don’t want to give away any spoilers. I recommend reading all the captivating details for yourself.

Ok, first of all, pink is my favorite color! And second chance romances are right up there. And Christmas romances? They are my jam. So this is just everything. Poor Billie had set down a path that wasn’t for her, and due to stubbornness and misunderstandings, stuck with it. When she runs into her ex, they just can’t seem to communicate- it’s a mess! I love the car, though. And I feel like it was just as much about her finding her place as it was about the love.

A great read about trying again. When her father starts to become seriously ill, Billie leaves her career in New York to look after him and his mechanic company. Whilst there back at home, she starts to look at her life differently. When chance bumps her into old flame Leroy, can she follow her heart and do what is right? A great read. Well developed plot with twists and turns. Well developed characters like Billie figuring out what she wants in life I loved the sense of a small town with little shops and cobbled streets and sense of community everyone knowing each other. I also loved the contrasts like city and town or office and mechanic or city streets and the garden which was beautifully written. The only issue I would raise is that there were a lot of long sentences which could be resolved with a variety of sentence lengths to grab the reader at the start. Overall, a great read and I would give it four stars.

Healing Danger is the amazing first book in the Fortis Security series by Maddie Wade. All books in this series can be read as a stand-alone although there is a continuing story running throughout and the series centres around the same group of characters. I however, would recommend that you read the whole series, purely because it is a fantastic series with truly outstanding characters. I first discovered this series by reading books 6 and 7 in the series. I loved these so much that I just had to go back to the beginning and see where it all began. Healing Danger is our first insight into the world of Fortis Security. The Fortis team is made up of ex SAS and Black Ops soldiers with amazing talents. This team is much more than just your ordinary security company though. This book centres around Fortis employee Dane Bennet and school teacher Lauren Cassidy. Lauren’s best friend Claire, who is the wife of Fortis employee Daniel has recently been murdered. In trying to find Claire’s killer, Lauren’s life is in danger as all suspicions lead to Lauren’s evil father who Lauren and her mother had escaped from when Lauren was a child. Lauren has a gift and her father wants her back to be part of his plan to rid the world of all the weak people and start a new world. Lauren and Dane have both secretly had feeling for each other for years and now that Dane is trying to protect her their relationship moves to a whole new level, especially when Lauren is kidnapped. This book is full of mystery and suspense that will keep you gripped from the beginning to the very end and also the added element of romance which makes this book a fantastic read. Thoroughly recommend.
