Isabella's Painting (Karina Cardinal Mystery #1)Isabella’s Painting by Ellen Butler
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Isabella’s Painting: A Notorious Art Heist Mystery by Ellen Butler is book one of the Karina Cardinal Mystery series. This book has it all; a little humor, a little romance, and some mystery. This is the first book I’ve read by this author but I enjoyed it.

This book is based on a real life unsolved mystery. It prompted me to want to look more into it and I really enjoyed the authors take on the whole thing. Karina while quite self conscious is definitely resourceful and intelligent and her investigative skills get her in deep. Karina may not be fully prepared for the risks she’s taken but she can’t give up. The book was definitely suspenseful at times and I was at the edge of my seat.

The author did such a good job portraying this real life situation. I enjoyed the characters and the suspense and couldn’t wait to find out what was going to happen. I would be interested in reading the next book of this series.

The Eastern Shore Swingers written by Phoebe Alexander is a great mix or characters, experiences and situations. Each character has something to contribute to the story in one way or another. The stories all vary with the situations and character styles. This set has a little bit of it all.

Climbing The Walls (Hart & Cole Book 1) by Sacha T. Y. Fortuné – Review by Robin Rankin

Climbing The Walls (Hart & Cole Book 1)Climbing The Walls by Sacha T. Y. Fortuné
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Climbing the Walls by Sacha T. Y. Fortuné is the first book Hart & Cole Series. This book had a lot happen in it, and the author did not skimp on any of the details. It was a lot longer than I would have expected it to be since the time period in the story itself covered such a short time.

Where do I start? Kris is an amazing father, his daughter and son are his life, especially his little girl and it is obvious from the very beginning. He’s also a great husband, not perfect but a lot of women would love to have a partner who did even a quarter of what he does, this woman included. All of this after having a less than stable household as a kid.

The description of Nicole in the synopsis was dead on. I did not want to like her at all. But as we got deeper into the story and learned about her and her life, things clicked for me and I actually could relate to some of the things.

There are two paths you can take as a parent, be like your parents or not like your parents, sometimes you pick the path subconsciously.

The kids are amazing, and I think I fell a little in love with both of them. But as the mom of two daughters I think Nikita grabbed just a bit more of my heart.

Amazing read, but not one you can bang out in a few hours.

Isabellas Painting: a Notorious Art Heist Mystery (Karina Cardinal Mystery book one) written by Ellen Butler. This isn’t my normal genre but I’m glad I gave it a shot. Karina pulls you into this story right away with her witty ways and a promise of some mystery when it comes to seeing a missing painting. As the story progresses so does the mystery and depth of the characters. When it comes down to it you always have to trust your instincts.

Mouse Trapped: Satan's Devils MC #9Mouse Trapped: Satan’s Devils MC #9 by Manda Mellett
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Mouse Trapped was a great 5 star read and book nine in the Satan’s Devils MC.
Be prepared for an emotional rollercoaster, I was exhausted when I was done.

Mouse is a member of the MC who is mixed race, Native american/caucasian. He takes care of the computer needs for the club. He meets Mariana when he is out in the woods and hears her screaming. He saves her from a bear and takes her to safety. There is something about her that intrigues and calls to him.

Mariana came to the US when she was four, she has some pretty high walls up due to secrets she has. When she unexpectedly catches the attention of immigration things take a twist for her. Now she needs help, but who can she turn to? Would Mouse be willing to help her?

There is drama, suspense, action and so much more. All of the secondary characters were great. The chemistry between these two was off the charts, you could feel the heat coming off of the pages. Coming from growing up with handsome native americans, I pictured a few during my read, LOL. Manda Mellett does a great job of pulling you right in. Each book can be read as a stand alone, but I would suggest reading all of them. MC books are my favorite genre and Manda has quickly become one of my favorite authors to go to for a great read. 1-click and get started today.

This is The conclusion to the prequel series and I would highly recommend reading in order or you will be lost. This story has many layers and many details, to keep them straight you need the whole story.
Full of suspense, I couldn’t turn the pages fast enough. And it was hard to remember that Aless is only 20, so many situations she ends up in, and she handles like someone older.
I can’t say enough about this book, or series for that matter, but if I kept going id never stop and then id have written the book all over again!
This is a must read for sure.

Dangerous Ground: Tina and Chase's StoryDangerous Ground: Tina and Chase’s Story by Alice Rachel
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

In a world of uncertainty, we can be certain that Alice Rachel will bring us another story in her Under Ground series that makes us want to change our negative behavior and keep on being positive.

Chase and Tina live different lives, one is upper class while the other lower class. However, they are still people and they both care about others. This story takes us through their struggles and with Rachel’s writing style it feels like we are right there with them.

This story is a part of a series that must be read in order. I know this for a fact as I read some of this series out of order and had quite the headache, lol, trying to figure everything out. Reading in order makes so much more sense! I look forward to reading the next in this series.

Eastern Shore Swingers Books 1-3 (Boxed Set) by Phoebe Alexander

5 Stars

I loved all 3 of the books in this set. I love this author…what she does is take subjects that may not be a chosen read for me and makes me choose them. She takes subjects that I don’t choose or completely understand and makes them seem just normal.

This series revolves around a Swingers club and a group of people I have fallen absolutely in love with.

In my opinion it says a lot about an author when she has a series out that deals with something I don’t understand or want to understand as far as the swinger lifestyle yet I find myself not being able to wait for each book in that series. I love the people in this series and their stories, but what I love the most is this author’s way of telling their stories.

I am a forever fan of this author and it really doesn’t matter what she writes, if her name is on it I read it. I don’t even care what the subject is it seems that even lifestyles I don’t understand keep me coming back for more.

I can’t recommend this series or this author enough. Read them in order because then I promise you will also fall in love with these people and have favorites as I do.

Loved it!!

This is the first three books of this series and a must read. Each story is built around the Factory, a swingers club and the group that runs it. All the characters have their own story with each book but we get to see all the characters throughout. They are strong, creative and make the story flow. Each book builds off the previous one and is a great building series. I highly recommend reading each book including book four, you don’t want to miss them.

Degrees of Power (Prestian Series, #4)Degrees of Power by Via Mari
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Degrees of Power is book 4 in The Prestian Series written by Via Mari. This is a great series and I would suggest starting at book 1: Degrees of Innocence. The one thing Chase craves above all else is for Katarina to trust him and allow him control in certain aspects. Trust that he can handle Alfreita and the threat he poses along with being honest and not withholding anything. Chase and Katarina have had more issues and struggles than your average couple but will they finally be able to just be a couple with no outside interruptions. This whole series is amazing, it crosses so many issues with trust, control, faith in your self and others and forgiveness. There’s also a nice mixture of drama in the story. Degrees of Power will keep you wanting more throughout the entire story.

I loved reading this heartwarming holiday story. This book gave me all the feels I want in a great story. Even though there is heartbreak there is also a abundance of love and support in this story. The author did an amazing job with the details in this story that I felt like I was there at Disney World with them experiencing the magic of the place and the season. This truly was an emotional wonderful story that will stay with me for a long time. I know that I will revisit this story multiple times because I enjoyed reading it that much!! I highly recommend this wonderful story. I cannot wait to read what comes next!

Hope's Decree (The Fated #1)Hope’s Decree by Angela McPherson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Hope’s Decree was a good four star read and book one in the Fated series.

My whole freakish life I’d desperately wanted to shut out the surge of emotions I often felt from others.

This was an interesting read that peaked my interest in Greek mythology, this is out of my realm of genre but I was pleasantly surprised.

Trinity was a great character with a lot of drama and sassiness, she is a 17 year old in her senior year of high school. We get to know her group of friends and of course the snobby mean girls. I did have some LOL moments with some thoughts that Trinity would have.

There is so much action and conflict along with several twists and turns. All of the secondary characters added a great element to the story. It was great watching Trinity develop into a very strong person, I can’t wait to read the next book in the series to see where she goes from here.
Angela McPherson has done a great job of pulling you right in with her writing.

Hope’s Decree by Angela McPherson is book one in the Fated series. I love reading young adult books and this was no exception. This is the first book I have read by this author, but it definitely will not be the last. I really enjoy when authors leave me wanting more from page 1. This book has everything you could want, love story, trials, uncertainty and happiness. I really enjoyed the Greek mythology tie in, along with the depth of her characters and the story line. This book makes you feel like you are living right along side then living each moment. I give this book a solid 5 stars and cant wait to read the next in the series.

Five Stars

I really have enjoyed this serious. I liked this book but it was hard for me to read. It hit too close to home. I have a lot of friends who came here because of their parents when they were babies. I find it shameful that they are living in fear of being kicked out of the only place they have called home. Ok I need to focus on the store and not get too emotional. Mouse was so mysterious. He gave off that lone wolf vibe and it worked. It sucked that he fought himself. There is a way for you to have balance with multiple heritage. He just needed to find his balance. I believe that Ma is his balance. She gave him a different family and something worth fighting for. I was so scared for Marissa through this whole story. The fear and uncertainties she lived with. I didn’t like the lawyer she didn’t know anything and was kind of wrong in the way she stated that she would need more money for her legal fees. Overall this story was an emotional rollercoaster for me. I felt so many emotions and hatred was a big one. I am still in shock over how hateful people can be.

I was hooked from the beginning and couldn’t put it down unti I found out what happened. I really liked Karina, she’s intelligent and independent, even if she didn’t really understand the danger she was putting herself in.

Mouse Trapped by Manda Mellett is the ninth book in the Satan’s Devils series. This can be a stand-alone story. This story is about Tse (aka Mouse) and Mariana. I have read several of Manda Mellett’s Satan’s Deviles series and with each one I find myself inside the story just hovering above the action. The details of what is happening with the characters and the story is always fresh story. There is a great amount of talent to write these stories. In this story Ms. Mellett’s character Mouse is part Native American which I found interesting to read. Mariana is in trouble and Mouse is trying to decide if he should help or stand back. Is there more of a bond between Mouse and Mariana that Mouse wants to admit? Will Mariana be able to defend herself? You will have to read this story to get those answers.

4 out of 5 stars

Killmores is the perfect follow up to the first book in Martha Sweeney’s Killmore series. These books aren’t meant to be read as stand alone reads, if you haven’t started from beginning of this action packed rollercoaster then I highly recommend doing that now.
I wasn’t sure what to expect from Killmores with such a strong set up of book there was no way the second would be just as captivating, action packed as the first book. Of course I was pleasantly surprised to see the series continues on without a hitch with memorable, enjoyable characters both new and old.
This is the type of book you crave reading when you don’t quite have the time, the kind you take with you anywhere “just in case” you need something to do while you wait.
Martha Sweeney is a new to me author that is officially on my radar. I look forward to reading more in the future.

The story pulled me in and kept me on my toes throughout with its intense emotional story. It’s most definitely a page turner i was eager to find out what was going to happen next. I love the authors writing style you are able to get lost in the story and able to visualise and feel what’s going on. It toyed with my emotions they were up and down like a yoyo but that is what the novel even more of a brilliant one when your able to really be captivated by the word’s pouring of the pages.

“‘Climbing The Wall’ explores the fibres that hold a marriage together – love, trust, forgiveness… and of course, the earth-shattering sex that will not be denied.” Sacha T.Y. Fortune

Climbing the Walls by Sacha T.Y. Fortune is her debut book. This story is a woman’s fiction story which deals with marriage and self-awareness, and everything in between. Sacha T.Y. Fortune did an amazing job with her characters in the story. The emotional roller coaster that you ride from Ms. Fortune with the character of Nicole keeps you turning the pages to see what else Nicole will have to overcome. This is what kept me reading. You will have to read to see how Nicole deals with her life. Make sure you have Kleenex and adequate time to read in one sitting. I cannot wait to see what happens in the next chapter.

Mouse Trapped is the ninth book in the Satan’s Devils series. This is the second book I have read by this author and it was just as wonderful as the first. I love the detail she puts into the characters and story line. It makes the story feel real. Mouse Trapped, even though it is a romance, also deals with some heavy, real-life issues. Reading it, you will feel a wide range of emotions, I know I did. There were a few parts where I even teared up. There were times in the book that I wonder how in the world people can go through this kind of struggle EVERY DAY. It puts your thinking cap on for sure.

I enjoyed Mouse’s character. His cultural background gives him interesting dimension. The author has done a great job of showing the contrast of cultures when you are of mixed heritage, that feeling of not belonging to either world. I particularly loved the way that the more spiritual side of his Native American ancestry is woven in.

Overall, a superb read!

Each book is about people from a Swingers Group which at some point will end up opening a swingers club called the factory. Many of the same characters appear in each book.

You get a little of everything in this box set. There’s definitely lots of steam, lots of emotion and you even get a little suspense. You will definitely want to ass this box set to your library. Phoebe Alexander knocked it out of the park with these books. Loved each and every one of them.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Once upon a romance by Alex Bailey was a great feel good book. This is the first book Ive read by this author and was pleasantly surprised with how easy it was to read and how much I enjoyed it. Sophie grew up with an older sister and parents who were all obsessed with Disney World. Sophie never really understood why she didn’t enjoy going as much but it makes sense to her later in the book why.

Sophie should be visiting her boyfriend Darren’s family for Christmas this year until she finds out her niece Ariel asked Santa for one thing this year….to go to Disney. Ariel’s mom passed away a few months prior and it has been very rough on her. Sophie knows, she has to do what’s right and bring Ariel to WDW even if she has no desire to go. While in Disney she meets a man named Ray who also runs a Facebook page and is known as Professor Disney. Ray seems a little off to Sophie but, Ariel really enjoys his company so Sophie lets him tag along with them since he knows everything about Disney. Add a little pixie dist and a toothless Santa and anything can happen. How will Darren feel when he comes to Disney on Christmas Eve and finds out all about Ray.
I thought this was a well written book and it kept my attention.

This author was detailed in everything that you will see, that I felt like I was on the Magical Disney trip right alongside Sophie and Ariel. Everyone needs to experience the “Magic” of Disney once in their life no matter how old you are.

Climbing the Walls by Sacha T.Y. Fortune a four-star read you will need to get over. This is the first novel in the Hart and Cole series and I ant wait for the rest. I think the best thing about this was showing us how hard married life can be, usually all you get to see in this type of book is the run up and then the wedding, all show and romance, not the day to day drudgery that we face in married life. Don’t get me wrong its not all doom and gloom, there is some good times as well and that’s what I liked about this, we see both sides of the relationship and how each decision affects people. That being said there is some love and passion that will burn your fingers, but there is a passion as well that you will love.

But does that stop her? Fighting with her mind, boyfriend and his father, things are about to get intense. Remember it’s not over until THE END!

Patrick Dunne is of money. He also has been hurt many times because of it. Hiding his fortune he is out to find his true love. But his trust issues get in the way. He loves Karina, and pushes her too far. Will he keep the girl?

Ellen Butler has done her homework with this story. Not only does she bring a true case into her story. She has history to back up her story. I love this story! She drew me in and suckered punch me half way through the story. Just as I thought I knew what happened, I was wrong. This book is a real page turner. I could not put it down. Job Well Done Ellen Butler!
