Dream me is a story about a girl called Babe who dreams at night of a boy called Zat, but each dream she has feels like they are becoming real.
Babe is a girl who is constantly the new girl, he father is a golf pro and travels around the country finding jobs in Country Clubs to support his family. Babe has never real seen the outside world other that through the eyes of the Country Clubs she has been a part of. She is a strong character and makes friends easily.
Zat is none is his world as a dreamer, instead of wanting to space travel like the majority of people on his planet, he has always been fascinated with the world of time travel. His Uncle with his family are all set to space travel but Zat is awaiting his date.
This story is written in quite a few per of the main characters which sometimes becomes a bit confusing. You will have a chapter where Babe is writing her blog, then you get a point of view of them together in the dream state, then you get Zat’s point of view. I really like the idea of the time traveller and him being attracted to Babe and her experiences but I thought it did not gel together very well. Although this was a distraction from the book I enjoyed the premise of the book and that the idea was intriguing which made me read on through the book.

Hart Broken by Annie Arcane is a beautiful and emotional story. I read this book from start to finish in one go because I couldn’t put it down. Annie’s writing is creative and expressive and draws you in with these wonderful characters. She cleverly entwines the first person narrative with the third person narrative and with the angst and pain, the shyness and unsurety these characters feel makes for an explosive story.
The story revolves around Mickey Hart who is a wonderfully sweet yet damaged soul, which she hide well, who was not looking for love and Cale Windermere who is filled with self doubt but is one special man. After his accident he doesn’t see himself as a whole man. The characters have real struggles and flaws and things to overcome and you can feel their pain, their joys and their love but is love enough? Can they get over their issues to be with one another? Will they open up enough to let the other in? Is self preservation worth more than love?
I really enjoyed this read because of the characters that are beautifully written. I am a fan of Mickey and Cale and am waiting to read the next installment to the series and follow them on their wonderful journey, hopefully together. I also loved the teasing way and the love Cales family have for one another it brought more depth to the story. I encourage you to read the book and enjoy the heart touching emotional ride when you read this contemporary romance love story with a little twist.
Controlling Heritage (The Control Series Book 5) by Anna Edwards is the fifth book in her The Control series. This story can be read as a stand alone. This is the first book I have read in this series and I know that I will be going back to read the previous four books. One of my favorite things I love about this author is her writing style and her attention to details. I know that when I open one of her books that I am going on a journey that I will not want to put down. I know exactly what I am getting with her books and this one didn’t disappoint either. This story is full of hot, steamy romance and BDSM. This story has some suspense that will leave you sitting on the edge of your seat. You will fall in love with these characters as they pop off the page and right into your life. Find out what happens to these characters as they start a journey of romance and things they never expected to find.
Sophie North is a young woman who has had some emotional situations that haunt her in a way. She is the sister of James North who had been beaten because of his BDSM life style which you can gain some perspective on from websites similar to www.fuckedgay.xxx. This has left her scarred and now she hides her real self behind her career of personal assistant. What she really wants is for someone to own her. What will happen when she meets him?
Grayson Moore is a Native American movie star that has a slutty reputation. He likes his alcohol, fast cars and women who are just as fast. But is he now looking for something more? When he fires his PA, he hires her. He never expected to fall for her. Will he give up his ways for her?
Sophie and Grayson are so great together. They were attracted to each other from the second they set eyes on each other. I loved that she was speechless when she looked at him. They are both such strong characters that it was hard to pick a favorite character. He is just so controlling, handsome and so giving to her. She just wants to be controlled by him although she can be sassy when she wants to be. The suspense these characters bring to this story is mind blowing and you won’t want to miss it. The secondary characters are just as great and really do make the story complete. They are supportive towards Sophie and Grayson. This story is really about being true to yourself and accepting who you are. I found is awesome that Sophie grows so much in this story and just plain learns to accept things for what they are. You will have to read this story to see what I am talking about.
This is my third story by Anna Edwards and I totally am in love with her books and her characters. Her story is engaging and will keep you reading until the last word. I totally lost track of time in this story and couldn’t put it down. You will love how it is fast paced. I would have a glass of ice water sitting next to you because you will need it with this couple. I highly recommend this story as I know you will want to see what happen when a movie star and his PA get together!

She has been requested to help him in the investigation but first she needs to collect him from the airport. As she is awaiting his flight she sees the man in all his hunky glory and has an instant attraction to him. He is all southern gentleman and seems like a real ladies man but although he seems like this character you learn throughout the story in the end he only has eyes for Sam and this is sometime new to him he feels he has finally found love.
Raleigh has been ordered to investigate the theft of military stock and as he arrives and meet his liaison he is floored how beautiful she is but there in one problem there are rules that they cannot start anything or they will both be in trouble. But as the investigation goes on the attraction between the two is on fire and can the feeling that they both feel be enough to defy the rules. But as they investigate some shocking truths come out which shatter Raleigh’s world apart and who he thought he could trust his brother in arms becomes the enemy he and his fellow men are trying to stop.
This is the first book I have read by this author and really enjoyed the thrilling twist and turn of the story. The sizzling attraction between these two people, also factor in the rules they have to enforce by the military it was a great story. There is hard truths that Raleigh and Sam uncover regarding his past and I love the way that they have the same spunk in them to bring the case to a close. I can’t wait to read the next instalment in this series.
The Alpha’s Pride is the first book in the Blood Bonded series by Deidre Huesmann. It is a very, very quick read but it kept me interested. I certainly would have liked to read more about these characters and would have liked it to be a full book story rather than the short one it is. It was well written and straight to the point.
Val finds herself at the mercy of a shifter but what will she choose? She soon finds herself in a game of life and death with a shifter who likes to play games. Will he stalk her and let her go if she wins or will she lose and face the consequences? Death!
Riker is enjoying his game, he loves the hunt, the thrill of chasing his prey. Will he let her live or will he kill her? What he does know is that she is different than any of the others he has faced, she is a fighter. Perhaps he will not kill her, perhaps she could end up more than he ever thought possible. Could she be what he has longed for?
If you are looking for a quick read and a taste of shifters then this is a book for you.

Hart Broken: A wounded hero Romance by Annie Arcane is a love story following the relationship of Cale and Mickey, showing the ups and downs of their love story.
Mickey is a strong independent woman but she finds herself waking up one day in a strange room, a strange bed and finding a rather handsome stranger the scary thing is she does not remember how she got there. As she slowly gets to know this man and she trusts he is not a serial killer, she is unprepared how to deal with the instant chemistry between the two of them. But will her past be too much for her to get over and deal with this alpha male.
Cale has always been a man of honour but there is one thing which is holding him back, he had an injury which has left him paralysed from the waist down. He has his demons from his past which also will impact on his future but from the first time he spotted Mickey he knew he had to have her as his own.
As the story continues you get to understand that these two characters have been hurt in the past and are reluctant to give their hearts over to be broken again, but as they get to know each other on a deeper level they are prepared to put their heart on the line. I loved the vulnerability of the characters although they have strong opinions to show this vulnerable side is refreshing.
This is the first book I have read by Annie Arcane and I enjoyed the style and fast pace of the story, I am looking forward to reading more books in this series and by this author.
The Alpha’s Pride by Deidre Huesmann 5 out of 5 stars This is the first book that I have read by Ms. Huesmann it was a short cute story that contains shifters and I love reading about shifters/paranormal.
This is a story where humans and shifters live in fringe societies, Val is taking a risk camping in the woods on shifter territory. Her overconfidence lands her in a game of life and death. This shifter is out for amusement, and doesn’t care if she wants to play. The game is set, and she must participate. He offers her a deal: if she wounds him, she wins. If he catches her, she dies. Riker has every intention of killing her. Or did, before her scent hinted she is a potential blood bonded. Intrigued by the possibility, he pursues her in a hunt that will change their lives… and forever alter shifter and human societies. Will Riker’s pride accept Val as his blood bonded or will they kill her? Can they overcome their shifter/human differences? Will their blood bond change the world between the shifters and humans? You really need to read this short story in order to find out the answers to my questions. I highly recommend this short story and can’t wait to see what the author has in-stored for us next in this series… By Tracy

Lukas by F.G. Adams is the fourth and final book in the This is Our Life series. This can be read as a standalone book and enjoyed. I have read the other books in the series and have enjoyed watching the characters featured in their own stories but also as well as background characters in the other stories. This book follows the story of Lukas Rogers and Sage Blackwood. The two met many years ago, when Sage was in the Peace Corps and Lukas was serving in the military. The two lose touch after his unit is ambushed but later come across each other while he is working for Trident Security. He has always felt a connection to Sage not counting the sexual tension between the two of them. Sage does not want to have to rely on anyone and does not want to face her feelings for Lukas. She wants to believe that he is only good as a friend with benefits. I enjoyed this book as much as the others in the series. Each has focused on a different couple that must conquer their personal demons as well as something that is occurring in their lives. In this book, we see Sage’s background coming back to haunt her. Her time in Dubai with the Peace Corps is brought back into her life with some threats that are coming through. Lukas wants to be hers in every sense of the world. He will do anything to protect the woman he loves. Even though this series is completed I will be look for more from F.G. Adams to read in the future.

Frozen Over by Tarrah Anders is the first book in the Melted Series. The book is about Tyson Maddox and Allison Stafford. Tyson is the heir to and CEO of Mad Designs, a fashion company. Allison is the new face of the summer campaign for Mad Designs. Tyson is a playboy until he meets the irresistible and beautiful Allison. His intentions to fall in love is “when hell is frozen over”. She is not your typical model. She eats donuts and is taken by surprise when Tyson starts to pursue her. The two are a fun and interesting pair. But will their pasts catch up to them? This was more than a model/tycoon story. The characters are well written and interesting. What was great was that there was a lot of emotion involved in the story. The backgrounds of both Tyson and Allison made for interesting challenges and tension. I was on the edge of my seat hoping for them to find peace and love with each other. The realistic part was that life is never easy and we always have challenges. The best part comes once we conquer our pasts and move on either alone or with someone who truly cares for all parts of us. I enjoy books that have a good character and story to match. We all need a little escape from the everyday world and this book was a great escape. I am looking forward to the next book in the series and will be looking for more from Tarrah Anders in the future. @sherimichelle1

Beautiful Masterpiece is the first book in the Thin Red Lines series by Gen Ryan. The story is very deep and dark, twisted and disturbing, terrifying and truly intense. Gen Ryan gives you a look into the twisted minds and souls of those who have been lost to the darkness. It is a psychological thriller that captures you and you can’t let go, much like a horror that you watch behind you fingers but can’t turn it off. Gen writes in different points of view which helps you find the deeper meaning behind each character, it definitely helps the story flow and melds it together nicely.
Maddison is a haunted young woman who had a horrific childhood that she is trying to run away from and lead a normal. But what is normal? Normal is not the serial killer father who killed her mother and got caught just shy of murdering her too. Normal is not looking over your shoulder and experiencing fear from a man who has escaped jail and is now playing with her.
Liam is a haunted young man who had a horrible childhood that he is trying to run away from and lead a normal life. But what is normal? Normal is not the dark thoughts he has. Normal is not acting on those dark thoughts and the voices he can’t keep at bay. His past haunts him but he has just found the one thing that may save him.
Scott is a knight in shining armour, he has not stopped thinking about the little girl who lived next door, the little girl he saved from certain death. Now he is face to face with the past and his job is to protect her at all costs, even if it is from herself.
My emotions were all over the place as I read this story and you find yourself getting attached with these characters. I enjoyed the whole thrill of the chase game throughout the story. There is a lot of dark and terrible things happen in this book that could be triggers for some people so tread carefully but if you like something dark and twisted then this is the book is for you.

Pipe dreams: spanked by her dirty plumber by Haley Monroe is a book regarding two people whose circumstances are worlds apart but can Holden recuse Poppy from the awkward life at home.
Poppy’s life has not always as great as it is now, he father was abusive and when he finally got sent to prison so when Poppy’s mom found her step father everything changed. He was a doctor and was rich so poppy and her mother went from nothing to an affluent lifestyle.
But unfortunately although her step father shows her how a really man looks after his family she has some reserves about his son, her so called step brother who decides to over step that boundary and start having feeling for her. Although Poppy does not reciprocate them, but he will not take no for an answer so Poppy has to get a little economical with the truth and say that she has a boyfriend who is a plumber. This is then made more real as she has called a plumber to try and recuse her “toys” from the dishwasher. Now if you’ve lost your “toys” in the dishwasher, let’s not pretend it hasn’t happened, you might want to view service areas of nearby plumbers and see if they can help you – although I’m afraid it’ll just be with retrieval we can’t guarantee other “services”.
Holden is trying to keep the family plumbing business going, his father is a drunk and has nearly bankrupt the business but Holden is trying to hold on. So when he receives a phone call from Poppy he is not too happy that it’s another rich girl demanding his time. Holden can’t help but try to help Poppy especially when he finds her uncomfortable regarding her step brother’s advances. So he agrees to play along with Poppy and become her pretend boyfriend.
This story flows and is a quick pace read, this is the second book I have read by Haley and she never disappoints. The BDSM theme running through the story is a great page turner and the relationship which flames between the two of them is great, you are willing and cheering these two characters along. I recommend this short read as a summer holiday book and you will be downloading the other books Haley has written.

Silverglen by EA Burnett takes you to a magic world where wizards and shifters will hold you captivated. EA has written a story that is full of wonder, suspense, sorrow and fear. Her writing and your imagination lend for a powerful fantasy world of characters that you feel all the emotions and turmoil they go through. You find yourself wanting to join the fight and see justice for those who are different to what the perceived normal should be.
Ember was born into a world where wizards live and shifters only exist. Being who she is, is not an option. Keeping her secret is the only option if she wants to live. No one knows her secret except for her mother. She is after all the daughter of a powerful man, a wizard Lord Arundel, head of the council, man who has a hatred of shifters that goes beyond normal. His equally mad assistant, Fletch is a man driven to such horrors that you can only imagine. But does this man know Ember’s secret? Does he know just what she is? Does he know just what her mother has done? When Ember’s secret is discovered she is forced to flee the only home she has ever know. She has always held out hope, that one day she could meet more of her kind. When Ember discovers that Fletch is on her trail she must decide which is the lesser of the two evils, Fletch or her father. Ember decides she must save those like herself and refuses to let the threat harm everyone she has come to love but in doing so she risks her identity, her life and her family. Will the lies soon be discovered? Will Ember finally have the freedom she desires? Will Ember risk all and everything she has learned for the sake of others? Will Ember be brought down by the evil that follows her?
If you like fantasy, wizards and shifters then this is a book for you.
Life’s Gateway to Happiness is the second book in the Show Me Series by Anne Stone. This book continues with the Alvarez and Samuels families. I would read the first book of the series, Life’s Second Chances first as you will get a fuller picture of the world these characters live in. The story will grab you from the beginning and you will find yourself feeling so many emotions when you read it. It is well written with loads of drama that will keep you guessing until the very end. The plot is not revealed all at once but is fed to you bit by bit to keep you hooked. Anne’s characters are loveable and easy to relate to. The are a family that is so genuine that you soon find yourself wanting to get involved in their lives.
Kelly Samuels loves her job as a tester for a software company but her dreams have just come crashing down. She needs to get out of there, she needs to be safe and the only place she can do that is with family. Kelly is home but has not revealed everything that has happened to her family, she is not the girl they have all known and loved. She feels like a failure and does not want to face all that has happened to her. Her family know there is something going on but find themselves running into roadblocks every time they confront her. What has Kelly running scared? Will she reveal the truth behind all that has happened? Will she trust enough to let others help her? Will she ever be whole again? Alec Alvarez is a confirmed bachelor, he is happy with his busy life as a doctor and loves his family something fierce but there is more to this beautiful woman and something about her that calls out to his protective nature. Alec can see there is much, much more to the story than is being told but he doesn’t want to push. He wants to be there and help her through whatever has her running, whatever has her scared. Whatever the secret she is hiding it is eating her up from the inside out and he feels helpless. When they finally learn the truth will it be too late to save her? Will hearts be broken before they really begin? Will he be the one to save her? All in all though this is a sweet romance and the men are the sort you only dream about and want to take home to mum. It is sad to see such a strong beautiful woman become a shell of herself but come through it with the love of her family and her sexy, strong and supporting man.

Inevitably yours is a story of Augusta and John, will their friendship develop into more or will the fact Augusta is pregnant with another man’s child will this stop John from pursuing her.
Augusta is a woman with a heart of gold, so when she offers to become a surrogate for her friends who were finding it hard to find someone will this decision threaten her relationship with her best friend. So as the pregnancy goes on she becomes more agitated that she has to give up her beloved coffee and that she is now unable to see her feet.
John has always had feelings for his best friend Gus, now that she pregnant it brings back memories for John who has tried to bury his past. He has carefully built up walls around his heart but will his attraction win out.
As the story goes through you get to meet the rest of the characters in the story who you feel the emotion that they are all a family and are loyal to each other. Augusta is a great character and I would her to be in my corner, she is so kind hearted and is not at all privileged. John is the alpha but get to see his softer side when it comes to Augusta and the attraction he has for her, although he is not bothered with the age gap but his history may be the blocker.
I enjoyed the story of these two people and I loved the family feel of the book. This is the first book I have read by this author and I loved the story telling and the characters are rich and full of life. I would recommend this book to others and although it’s the fourth book in a series I read this book as a stand-alone.
Summer Solstice is a story of Carmen a witch who needs to get away and Aiden is shocked when he becomes bonded to the woman he is supposed to protect.
Carmen is looking for a reason to leave her current coven so when an opportunity comes to supervise a new coven on the south she jumps at the chance to leave. So as she gets involved in the new coven she tries to convince them that she should be become a permanent of the new coven.
Aiden is a free spirited wolf, until one day he runs into a woman who he imprints on, the only thing she is a witch and he needs to bond with this woman soon or he loses his power to become a wolf. Although Aiden tries to convince Carman that this is fate she is still not happy this has happened to her. Carmen is against bonding with the wolf and especially when she is within a new coven, so she tries to push Aiden away.
As the story continues the story becomes steamy and the sexual scenes are quite hot and had to cool down my e-reader. You get to see the interaction between these two characters and when Carmen is kidnapped, will Aiden be able to recuse her.
This is the first book I have read from this author and enjoyed it greatly. I loved the way the two characters interacted and that the story had its twists and turns, I will definitely be reading more books by this author in the future.

Lukas is the fourth book in the This is Our Life series by FG Adams and it is just as good as the others. It can be read as stand alone but I encourage you to read them in order to feel the relationships of these wonderful Alpha military men, who will set your heart pumping, with their loyalty and love for their family. FG writes a great tale and this story, just the same as the others has twists and turns that will keep you on the edge of your seat but you will be swept away with want for these wonderful characters of the Trident Security and you will be just as affected by Grandma Matilda. With her in your corner, the sky’s the limits.
Lukas Rogers has left the military life but is down and out on his luck, he is a broken man with nowhere to go but further down, or so he thinks. Masking his feelings has become his game but all he needs is one person and that person likes to run and hide. It’s time to get his head in the game, sort himself out and get the woman to come to her senses. Lukas is a member of Trident Security where he works with his brothers at arms, his family and they will let nothing come between them and the ones they love.
Sage Blackwood is a sassy, independent and one stubborn woman. She was in Afghanistan but had to return home where she thought she was safe but little by little something or someone is out to cause her pain. Why? she doesn’t know. Who? She doesn’t know. Will she survive the threats? Will she break down her walls and let help in? Will she break down her walls and let love in? With being face to face with danger will she learns just what is important?
Do yourselves a favour and grab a copy of this series. I guarantee you will not be disappointed.

The Caretaker is the second book in The Sin Bin series by Dahlia Donovan. It can be read as a standalone but is best read in order so you can enjoy the building of the previous characters. It is just as good as the Wanderer and is another sweet romance story. I enjoy Dahlia’s writing, she breathes life into her characters that has you feeling like one of the gang.
This wonderful story is about Freddie Whittle and Taine Afoa. Both come from completely different backgrounds, Freddie, has a heart of gold and is a nurse working with cancer patients but losing them can be heart breaking and wearing on the soul, but he loves it. His busy life doesn’t leave much room for a relationship but when he meets a tall dark and handsome he starts to wonder what could be. Is he ready for a relationship? Could this man be interested in him?
Taine Afoa is a retired rugby player and not looking for love. He enjoys relationships but enjoys his time by himself but when he meets a caring, cute young man he interest is peaked. He finds himself thinking about the young man but is he too old and is he ready for a relationship? Can Taine get over the age difference? Is he ready to settle down?
This book captured my heart as did the first book. It is a beautiful story of love and acceptance. There are moments of sadness and joy and the characters will have you laughing with their comradery and their antics.

I have not read the other three books in this series and I followed the story in this book as a stand-alone. As this is the first book I have read by this author I will definitely read the others in this series.

Disaster in Love is the first book in The Disaster series by Liz Bower. Disaster in Love is a romance story with a little mystery, a little intrigue and a lot hope and dreams. You will not be able to put it down until you have read it all, trying to work out the twists and turns.
Kimberly Hardwick is on a mission to unravel a mystery that only her parents shared but in order to unravel this mystery she has to jump on a plane. As she sits on the plane she is trying to talk herself out of disaster but her worst fears are confirmed when things don’t go according to plan. But all is not lost with the handsome stranger sitting next to her. Never did she know that her first ever flight would lead to more than she ever thought. Kimberley has dreams but those dreams take money and that leads her to the temp job and the uncomfortable situation she now finds herself in. Never in a million years would she have dreamed that her mystery man be here staring her in the face and being introduced as her new boss. When Kimberly discovers a discrepancy she quickly learns that things are certainly what they seem.
The relationship between the two main characters will leave you a little confused at times. You will find that you have to keep reading because you just want to know what is going to happen next and where the story will lead. There were times when I thought the main male character needed to get his act together but you have a sense there is more and all will be revealed in the end. I enjoyed the story and am sure if you like a mystery with romance and intrigue you will too.

Summer Solstice is the fourth book in the Legend series by McKayla Schutt and can be read as a standalone but reading the others would give you a better understanding of the characters and the world in which they live. This book is just as good as the others and it is another great read. It is a fast paced story that is well written and will definitely satisfy the paranormal seeking within you. Once again McKayla has created a great combination and a great group of characters, with hot sexy Alpha’s who will do anything for the loves of their lives, their mates, who happen to be witches and their pact.

One touch and she is his, one imprint says she is his mate. A mate that is a witch, a witch that doesn’t want him, now he just has to prove that they are one and should complete the bonding to make them one or he will lose his wolf forever.
When Carmen is kidnapped by a Hunter hell bent on destroying witches and shifters a like, will Aiden find her in time or will he be too late? Will one bite take away all he has dreamed about? Will one bite change the one thing he can’t live without?

All Tyed Up is a standalone by Julia Harlow and it is the first book I have read by this writer and I have to say that I really enjoyed it. I gave it four stars and let me tell you why. All Tyed Up is a story of Isabel Beachwood and Tyberius Ty Griffin. Isabel is an enigmatic 25-year old app designer and Ty is a ruthless businessman and a CEO of Grandin Financial, the company taking over the company that Isabel is working for and therefore also responsible for Isabel losing her job. It is very unfortunate how they decide based on seniority and not based on the performance and that is something that Ty has actually issues with. I loved how Julia had Isabel and Ty to meet first outside their workplace – as Isabel was losing her job, she had to give up her rental apartment and she had to get rid some of her furniture and Ty came for the table that Isabel so loved. Isabel is described as a plus size but at the same time the way it was expressed it seemed that she was most likely a curvy girl, I can see how her perception of herself was of a plus size woman due to the mental and emotional abuse she suffered in the hands of her stepfather. Something that bothered me and why I am giving 4 stars is the dropping of brand names, for me, it took something away from the story and did not let the story flow as it could have. Otherwise I think Julia has created a fun story that you can easily spend a great evening with AND let’s not forget about all the great minor characters … I wonder if Julia will have a follow up for this story, I would totally be in the line for reading it!

Unloved is by K.D. Wood and is the second book in the Unwilling series. This book is best enjoyed after reading the first book. It picks up close to where the first book left off. The story continues after Neely returns from New Zealand. She is trying to figure out what happened to her still and pick up the pieces of her life. Hayden wants to move on and advance his relationship with Neely. The problem is that she has received a communication from Andrew that is bringing Neely back into his reaches as well as his mother’s. To make things worse the Tribal guard has come from New Zealand and Andrew’s mother is making demands of Neely threatening the people she loves. There is much going on and I will not go into more detail. I do not want to wreck the book for anyone else. Like the first book there are twists and turns. When you think, you know exactly where the story is going there is a twist. The characters are well written and the story is a great progression. This is not the typical romance book. There are some supernatural forces at work again and some fantasy. Neely is somewhat frustrating to me. I understand all the decisions she is making, some forced are difficult, but her reasoning at times drives me over the edge. I know some was to add tension to the story and also, she is young and inexperienced. Overall I really enjoyed the story and I am looking forward to third book in the series.
Salvage Him is the first book in the Highland Park Chronicles by Sydney Aaliyah Michelle. Salvage him is a BDSM erotica romance and is one steamy story. You will be hooked from the very beginning. I loved the main characters, Harrison and Brooklyn, who have one sizzling connection but they find themselves in a very complicated situation. You will also enjoy the rest of the motley crew and find yourself often laughing along with them.
Brooklyn left one relationship for another but was it the right move? She is married to Paul, an older man, but she knows in her heart that something is missing, she no longer feels love for her husband. Brooklyn thought she was happy with her life, done with the lifestyle she ran away from but when she meets others from the lifestyle she once led, she realises that her husband can no longer fulfill her needs. Brooklyn is unable to control the connection she feels when she meets Harrison. He and his friends are building her new house and each of them are hot, sexy alpha males.
Harrison has never felt the connection he has felt, with the beautiful and sexy woman he is helping to build the house for. He can’t seem to control himself when she is around and wants to punch that so called husband of hers, but she is married to him and it is sorely testing his nerves. He doesn’t just want her, he needs her and he knows that she needs him too.
Will Harrison be able to save her? Will Brooklyn be able to walk away from her loveless marriage? Will her husband let her walk away from their marriage?
Sydney Aaliyah Michelle has written a gripping and twisting tale that will see you wanting to eat up each had every word and your emotions will definitely run high throughout this book. I look forward to reading the second book of the Highland Park Chronicles.

Only is the third book in the Alex Connor chronicles and follows on from book two where Alex was kidnapped by the Fae King. Can Alex escape the clutches of the King and not given in to the demands he has forced on her or will she not have a choice?
Alex is a newly discovered Hybrid Earthen Protector who is just trying to process the new powers she has, but before she knows what has happened to her she is kidnapped and slung in a cage in the Fae kingdom. While Alex is locked up the Fae king wants something from Alex but she is determined to hold out and not give in. But it is becoming harder for her to keep her resolve as each time she is give the drug concoction she is losing her memories of her loyal friends and her life as she knows it.
As time goes on the dream world starts to become the reality and that the Fae king is slowly wearing her down until Alex sees some of her friends who give her an incentive to carry on and resist the king and his advances. As the story continues poor Alex is put into various situations where she sees new and old friends fight to risk their lives to help.
I will echo the other reviews you really can’t read this as a stand-alone book as the other two books give a lot of the back story and brings you into the world of Avalon and Alex’s struggle so far. Parker Sinclair has brought us back into the world of fantasy and it is also a pleasure reading the adventures of this strong, loving young woman. All her characters including the secondary characters has guts and fire and you feel part of the story as you read. I can’t wait for the next book in this series.
The Caretaker is a love story following the lives of Freddie and Tiane, with the ups and downs that their relationship has over the cause of the story.

As Freddie gets out of his car he is bombard by these hunky man who are causing regarding the state of the car and wondering if Freddie has reported the shameful words plastered on the side of it.
Freddie assures the guys that he has reported it to the police and that he will get the repairs done when he gets back to Cardiff, while Freddie is looking after BC’s partner Graham he feels eyes following him and when he turns around Tiane is starring at him with lust in his eyes.
Tiane has always be Bio curious and has enjoyed relationships with both sexes, but he has never had such draw to one person so Freddie is special to him and he does not want to scare him off. Although Tiane feels these feelings his is fully aware of the age difference, so he treads carefully.

Tiane is a little worried about the age difference but he has never let what other people think put him off getting what he wants. So when he decides to follow Freddie on holiday there whole world turns upside down.
This is the second book in the Sin Bin series and also the second book I have read by this author, I enjoy the way the author creates great characters who you can relate too. I enjoy the way she writes these macho alpha men who have these soft loving side. I can not wait to read more stories in this series and more books by this author.
