A Tangy Christmas Kiss by Allyson R. Abbott – Review by Kerry Baker

A Tangy Christmas KissA Tangy Christmas Kiss by Allyson R. Abbott
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

A Tangy Christmas Kiss by Allyson R. Abbott is the second book in the Christmas Kiss series. This book can be read as a stand-alone.
This book is a fun and lovable holiday romance about a woman trying to help out her family. It isn’t as straight forward as it should be and hilarity soon follows.
I really enjoyed this book because it was one of those stories that you could easily just lose yourself in for a few hours. You can turn off reality and just enjoy a well written and entertaining story.
The main character Mel was delightful to read about. She takes everything in her stride – even though everything is going wrong. I liked how, despite it being an odd request, she still helps out her family.
This was a great book and a good addition to the series.

Isabella’s Painting (Karina Cardinal Mystery #1) by Ellen Butler – Review by Jana Teppih

Isabella's Painting (Karina Cardinal Mystery #1)Isabella’s Painting by Ellen Butler
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Isabella’s Painting is the opening act of Ellen Butler’s Karina Cardinal Mystery series. It is my first encounter with the writer and I am sure it will not be last. She will be one of the writers I will go back to when I need my next fix of straight up mystery.
Isabella’s Painting is the story of Karina Cardinal, lawyer turned lobbyist who happens to stumble upon a mystery and being the person she is, she cannot let it go and start investigating putting her own life and also of the other’s in danger. Luckily for her, she has an FBI connection so off she goes into danger, intrigue, action, drama, mafia, humour and some romance sprinkled in! The story is fast paced and as you get pulled in from page one, at times it feels like it goes too fast (but that is only because I would have loved to linger more) but that is ok as there will be another mystery so we will get more of the gorgeousness of Karina and co! And for you, the detailed orientated mystery buffs? Isabella’s Painting should be just down your alley!

Shoot Me: A Lie To Me Novel by Lynda Filler – Review by Karyn Taylor

Shoot Me (Lie to Me #2)Shoot Me by Lynda Filler
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Shoot Me is the second book in the Lie To Me series by Lynda Filler and it follows on straight from where the first book Lie To Me ended. Well, 3 weeks after the first book ended. You could technically read this book as a stand-alone but I’d strongly advise that you read Lie To Me first as this book will make much more sense if you have read what preceeds this story.
I struggled a bit with the first book and gave it 4 stars as it was written from many points of view. This book is written from the point of view of only a few characters and thus I found it much easier to follow and therefore enjoyed this book much more. Not saying that I didn’t enjoy the first book as I did. I just enjoyed this one more.
This book starts with Layla still mourning the end of her relationship with Mateo and struggling to move on. When she receives a call from her publisher offering her a deal to write another 2 books as they loved her first one so much, she moves to Guadalajara to research her next book. Here she gets caught up in the seedy world of cartels and often finds herself in danger. She makes many new friends, most of which are male, and continues to ‘indulge’ herself in hot young men.
I really enjoyed the journey that the author took me on in this book and hope that there will be more to come from the Lie To Me series.

Beachcomber Gone (Beachcomber Investigations Series Book #9) by Stephanie Queen – Review by Angela Hayes

Beachcomber GoneBeachcomber Gone by Stephanie Queen
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

 

Beachcomber Gone is the ninth book in the Beachcomber Investigations series by
Stephanie Queen. This is a romantic detective series with mystery, suspense, some drama, action, intrigue, danger, set-ups, and more… This story could be read as a standalone, but I would recommend reading some, if not all the other books, just to get a better understanding of these wonderful characters, their backstories and everything they’ve been through to get them to this point.
Another brilliant instalment from Ms. Queen. There really is so much to love about this series and characters, and I have become quite emotionally invested in Shana and Dane’s lives- all the while following them on their investigations/adventures and trying to unravel everything and piece it all together as it all plays out.
I never tire of Ms. Queen’s stories, and she manages to pull me in each and every time with her addictive plots and descriptive style. Her attention to detail makes the stories come to life in a very realistic and believable way. The characters are complex, a little quirky and entirely endearing. Ms. Queen always delivers, and this book is no exception!
As Dane and Shana look to take their relationship to the next level, they travel to Australia so Dane can meet Shana’s family. But with these two, danger is never very far away. So, before the first chapter has even ended, Dane and Shana find themselves thrown headfirst into a case that will test them on every level. With set-up, old cases and enemies coming back to haunt her- the action, tension, conflict and danger had me on the edge of my seat. Can they find a way out of this predicament, or will this be the case that breaks them?
Another brilliant Beachcomber novel. I love catching up with these two characters and their stories just seems to get better and better as the series progresses!

Thank you, Ms. Queen!

A Tangy Christmas Kiss (Christmas Kiss Series Book #2) by Allyson R. Abbott – Review by Angela Hayes

A Tangy Christmas KissA Tangy Christmas Kiss by Allyson R. Abbott
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

 

A Tangy Christmas Kiss is the second book in the Christmas Kiss series by Allyson R. Abbott. It is a sweet holiday romance that confirms that anything that can go wrong- will! There is hilarity, funny antics, language barriers, challenges, romance, and endearing characters. There was a lot more to this story than it may seem from first appearances. Melanie (Mel) had me intrigued right from the first page, as I followed her on her story. From the moment she gets the call from her mother asking her to look after her aunts’ home while her aunt is in hospital- everything that could go wrong certainly does. Her promise to her mother takes her on a mad-cap journey that throws her right out of her comfort zone, leaving her feeling a little lost and vulnerable. But what happens when a sexy stranger comes to her aid? Yes, there might be a serious language barrier, but he seems to want to help her non-the-less. Will she be desperate enough to let a complete stranger help her? What happens when he sees her to her destination? Mel is unprepared for everything that’s about to happen, once she arrives at her aunts. What will the future hold? All this and more can be discovered be reading this delightful story…
Ms. Abbott has such a wonderfully descriptive, warm, and inviting style to her writing. Her stories always draw me in and keep me engaged the whole way through. They are so easy to read and always leave feeling good- as this story did.
This may be a story set around Christmas and the holidays, but it is a lovely story that deserves to be read, and enjoyed, at any time of the year!

Thank you yet again, Ms. Abbott!!

Truly Unfortunate (Welcome to Knollville Book 1) By C.A. King – Review by Emily Brockschmidt

Truly Unfortunate (Welcome To Knollville Book 1)Truly Unfortunate by C.A. King
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

“Truly Unfortunate” is the first book in the Welcome to Knollville series by C.A King. C.A King’s newest fascinating character is Truly. She doesn’t remember anything from her childhood and works three jobs just to pay for her crappy apartment and the therapy she needs. Strange events start to occur in her small town of Knollville and Knoll County’s most skeptical police officer, Jeff, is on the case. I was so excited when this book got released since I am a HUGE fan of C.A King and her Portal Prophecies series. C.A King has an incredible talent of creating these other worlds and interesting characters that I wish I could visit. Every book I have read, and there have been several now, are wildly imaginative and unpredictable in every sense. C.A King is one of those authors whose brain I wish I could peer into and see how she sees life. Her imagination and creativity never cease to amaze me. I am so excited for more of this series to come out so I can continue to love them, as I know I will. Five obvious stars from me! Now to download a bunch more of her books to tide me over until more Welcome to Knollville books come out!!

Dangerous Ground: Tina And Chase’s Story by Alice Rachel, Underground Series

5-stars

This was a tragic, romantic, realistic novel. I could not put this book down. I do recommend that the reader read the other books in the series since it can be confusing at times. So much happened in this novel with both Chase and Tina. At times I was cringing while reading because of the violence taking place but I could not put it down. The scenarios in this novel seem so realistic and I could see things like this possibly trying to happen. I loved both the main characters personalities. I found both to be strong and courageous in their own ways. Chase’s character was my favorite. I couldn’t believe how much heartache he went through at the start of the book. It would have broken me but somehow, he managed to just barely hang on. I look forward to reading more from this author.

Truly Unfortunate by C.A. King a thrilling five-star read. This is the first book in the Welcome to Knollville series and what a start, I have read this author before, but this novel seemed in a league of its own. The phycological thriller aspect of the read keeps you so hooked that your heart will be in your throat and your heart will be pumping out of your chest. Then there is the world building and drama and the plot, agggghh I don’t know what to say about that as I don’t want to spoil it for when you read this amazing story. Truly has a story that you need to hear, so go read this novel to hear it.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Truly Unfortunate ( Welcome to Knollville Book 1) by C. A. King. This was such a good book. Its not my normal genre but I really enjoyed it. Truly is a damaged young lady who can’t remember her past since the age of 9. Her childhood was very traumatizing and sad. Her mom didn’t love her and she never had a real father so she was pretty much on her own. As an adult life was just as hard, working 3 jobs to try to make rent and also paying for therapy. Jeff has always wanted to be a detective. He was saddened by a classmates death at the age of 9 so he vowed he would do what he could to help others. When Truly and Jeff’s worlds collide thru a series of unfortunate accidents the fact that they share a lot more in common will emerge. This is a super fast read and leaves you with great questions. Can’t wait to read more in this series.

Dangerous Ground: Tina and Chase’s Story by Alice Rachel
5 out of 5 stars
Dangerous ground is Tina and Chase’s story written by Alice Rachel and I really enjoyed this story even if it was a little long. I simple love her work. We have read about Chase in a few other stories in this series and It was great to see him as a child and grow up to the man he is. She has this unique way of telling her story that has you stepping into her world and the characters are well developed.
Chase Martinez has a lot to fear with the Sterilization Law threatening the entire lower class. Those around him are rising and rioting for their rights, but protecting his girlfriend is Chase’s only goal.
But what can one man do against an entire government seeking to crush everyone he has ever cared about?
Tina Davie is the daughter of a state officer that comes with many advantages for. But when she crosses the path of Chase Martinez, Tina realizes how unfair the world can be. And when Chase’s life is shattered beyond repair, Tina decides to take matters into her own hands. She will infiltrate the system and tear it apart if it’s the last thing she does.
I highly recommend this story/series and you need to read them in-order to get the full effect of the series… I just simply love these characters and story line.. I can’t get enough of this series

A Second Chance (Powder River Pack Book 1) by Brooke May – Review by Erin Wolf

A Second Chance (The Powder River Pack #1)A Second Chance by Brooke May
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I give A Second Chance (Powder River Pack Book 1) by Brooke May, 4 stars.

Derek is a werewolf of the Powder River Pack. He met his mate at a young age and couldn’t imagine life without her. Until she was gone. He thought it best to let her do what she wants. But it has made him miserable. He will never be the same without her.

Annabelle has a wonderful career and she absolutely loves what she does. Plus it keeps her far away from her hometown. But it doesn’t fill the whole left in her heart. When circumstances arise, she has to go back to that very same town she grew up in. Maybe she can avoid Derek while she is there. Can she get that lucky?

This was a good paranormal romance. The story was interesting, and heart breaking at times. I really like how the author portrays the werewolves as something different than what we normally see. That made me happy to see her breaking the standard in the genre. I also liked the main characters, especially Annabelle. The only thing the got me was, this being the first book in a series, I felt a little bit thrown into it. I would have liked to have seen more about the pack itself so i understood it more. But overall, this was a great story about Derek and Annabelle and I highly recommend it.

The Killmores is book two in the Killmore series written by Martha Sweeney is a great book that finishes the story between Aiden and Laurie. The characters are well written I love their little quirkiness and banter. This is an action-packed, espionage romantic suspense thriller that will keep you on the edge of your seat and want more!
Laurie is always looking over her shoulder on the run from her past. Though Aiden and she are together, Laurie can’t escape the demons who haunt her. To Laurie, she must keep running to keep the Devil’s beasts off her scent.
Laurie’s Nightmares eventually become reality and she thrust face to face with the Devil. We have new players enter the game, people die, truths are revealed, and Laurie is forced to chose: to either fight or give up completely.
Can Aiden save the woman he loves or will he be outwitted and left with his love dead in his arms? While Laurie is entrapped by the Devil, will she fight or give in? Will these two finally have a happily ever after all the years on the run?
I highly recommend this book/series and I hope we get to see these two again…

This is the first book I’ve read by Nikki Broadwell and I’ve heard it’s very different than her typical style of writing. I’m curious to read more of Nikki Broadwell’s work to see how diverse her writing style really is. It’s definitely a sign or a great writer if they can stray from their norm and still knock out a 4- 5 star reads.
While there is romance in this novel, I really enjoyed it as the story of a woman that is finding her self esteem and overcoming obstacles after escaping an abusive relationship. Collie is a character that you root for from the beginning to the end and the course of the story is truly gripping. I would recommend this entertaining even relatable 4 star read!

Isabella’s Painting was a fun mystery story. Karina gets caught up in an old Painting Heist mystery when she stumbles upon a stolen piece at Christmas. It’s in her boyfriend’s parents’ house, so that adds a whole other element. Then she runs into an old friend and things just kind of get crazier from there. One thing I appreciate in this story is Karina’s strong personality. She’s solid, independent, has a good head on her shoulders. I found the characters interesting and the story entertaining.

This is by far my favourite story from this series! I have enjoyed the other ones but I was completely absorbed and captivated by Chase and Tina’s story. I think it is really important that you take the authors advice because this book definitely is not a standalone so much has gone on in this series that builds up to this book and I think it is needed to fully understand what is going on. There is so much going on in this story that is very frightening feeling like reality. The author has done an amazing job with this story. She created a storyline I was consumed by and characters I absolutely adored! If you have read any of the books in this series previously then you will not be disappointed in this one. Dangerous Ground is a fantastic story that I HIGHLY recommend!

Shoot Me (Lie to Me #2)Shoot Me by Lynda Filler
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Shoot Me by Lynda Filler is the second book in the Lie To Me Series. It is a steamy action packed and a fast paced story that throws you into the world of cartels and political unrest. It shows us the real Mexico and the shadier side of things and their social issues and crime. The situations that the characters see on their journey are often heartbreaking and eye opening. Lynda shows us a scenes of children without family and poverty, corruption and murder which makes this one emotional read at times as you imagine it within your mind.

It is a tale of passion and erotica where men are just waiting in line to experience the lovely American writer and her coming to grips with how her life is now and what she is shown when she turns up to a new beginning.

This is one thought provoking tale that will make you sit up and take notice as it makes your heartache, making you realise that the life you lead is not as bad as it could be.

Truly Unfortunate is book one in the Welcome to Knollville series by C.A. King. I have not read a story by this author, and it took me by surprise. I did not anticipate the high quality of the story, the depth to each character, the complex and intriguing way the characters joined
together to make a suspenseful dramatic tale. It was a brilliant paranormal saga and one I enjoyed more than I imagined I would.

Truly was a character I instantly felt bonded with. There was no getting to know you stage, I instantly felt attuned to her. She enthralled me. I just had to know her story. The author has this maddeningly clever way of giving a clue of what may happen next, without really telling you anything. It was genius. Truly Unforgettable was a one sitting read and one I truly will not forget. 5 stars.

Isabella's Painting (Karina Cardinal Mystery #1)Isabella’s Painting by Ellen Butler
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Isabella’s Painting is the first novel in the Karina Cardinal mystery series by Ellen Butler. This is my first novel by this author.

Instead of relaxing at home watching Netflix, Karina Cardinal is getting dressed to attend her boyfriend Patrick Dunne parent’s holiday party.

While there, she notices Patrick’s dad may be up to something that includes the stolen artwork that was taken from the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum years before.

The FBI was unable to solve and locate the paintings but with Karina’s new information it’s possible they may have been found.

I have not read a cozy mystery in over a year and have been wanting to. Reading this novel made me remember how much fun and entertaining they are.

While Karina is not a detective, she is really smart and is able to put clues together. And while working with a friend that is an FBI agent, sparks may fly.

The author did a great job combining an actual event within the story of this novel. I even did some research while reading and discovered more information about the heist which made it all the more to read.

I look forward to the next book in the series as well as the cover. The cover caught my eye before I read the summary.

Layla has quite the life in Mexico. She is still writing and finds herself heading from Puerto Vallarta to Guadalajara which is so different from the laid back tourist town she is use to.

She meets new friends while there and it seems like everyone is somehow connected to one another. That becomes apparent when she runs into people she already knows.

Though there were some heavy moments this didnt seem to weigh on me quiet as much as the first. I feel like the ending could go either way, this could he the end or we could see more of Layla and her case of characters. I hope the latter.

Eastern Shore Swingers Books 1-3 (Boxed Set)Eastern Shore Swingers Books 1-3 by Phoebe Alexander
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Fisher of Men book one in this box set and is a story to be read with an open mind. And maybe while you are alone. No children in sight. No distractions. This is a very sexual story, so if you like your books a little taboo then this one is for you. If you are a vanilla kind of person when it comes to sex and preferences, then you should read this book with a notepad and a pen along with that open mind mentioned before!

Book 2 is The Catch. Finally!! A story about a big girl! A happy, confident big girl! Paisley is a serious, hardworking, sexy, big girl. She really doesn’t take crap from anyone and doesn’t care what people think. If only there were more people like Paisley in the real world! Paisley would make a great BFF, she could probably even convince “vanilla” people to try other “flavors”!
And then there’s Calvin…swoon…Calvin is patient, kind, dedicated. Did I say patient? Even his “caramel-colored skin” makes Phoebe’s “girly bits” excited. His “vanilla” way of life is not the usual turn off for Paisley, so when these two
become friends anything is possible!

Siren Call is the third book in this set but definitely not the last! Wow! Hot and sexy. I’m not sure who my girl crush is on more: Phoebe Alexander or Jessie.

This story is a female/female romance. Not your everyday boy meets girl with rainbows and unicorns. No this story has swingers, lesbians, bi-sexuals and maybe if you’re looking, you might find a straight lover. It has mean girls and a mystery that makes this story a page turner.

Great stories, highly recommended.

The fact that human trafficking is real and that it’s not a fictional problem is so crazy and scary.

Snatching Dianna is just that – a fictional offering that is intriguing, multi layered, and kept me interested from the first page to the last.

It is a short book that is packed with a big punch and I do recommend this story.
