Lela’s Choice by Jennifer Raines – Review by Heidi Sturgess

Lela's ChoiceLela’s Choice by Jennifer Raines
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

How much fun does this cover give off ?!

Lela is a nurturer and sometimes it felt like she was putting herself second to get father and her niece , look don’t get me wrong she has a heart of gold and is loyal and dedicated to those she loves and I can’t fault her for that but to fill the needs of others you need to fill your own right !?

Anyhoo , Lela has been planning to live her life as soon as Sophie turns 18 but then she ups and runs off with her boyfriend and that leaves a massive spanner in the works Lela because now she’ll have to put her plans on hold so she can hunt Sophie and lover boy down in Malta !

Ok so maybe it’s not all bad because in her search for Sophie Lela had to work with Hamish who in torn works for her dad so I get her reservations but there’s an u deniable pull between them I mean you have to be blind not to pick up on it !

The past often affects the present and future especially where emotions are involved and both Hamish and Lela have baggage but they work through it and their story is a beautiful one to watch unfold ….

I think another reason I loved this book is because of Malta , my mom ( who has passed ) loved Malta so to a degree or felt like she was with me 🥰

Thank you Lela, Hamish , friends and family 🥰

Delayed Redemption (The DAG Team Series) by Kel O’Connor – Review by Jennifer Gordon

Delayed Redemption: DAG Team Series: Book 3 of 4 Special Ops Romantic SuspenseDelayed Redemption: DAG Team Series: Book 3 of 4 Special Ops Romantic Suspense by Kel O’Connor
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I found this romantic suspense story to be a real page turner. Mateo is determined to escape his former life of crime and has one last undercover assignment for DAG and then he’s free. The assignment will also result in putting a major drug dealer out of business. When things don’t go to plan Mateo has to choose between his op and the only person who has ever believed in him. Having escaped an abusive home Janey is now living a much safer and better life. She is then kidnapped by a gang who want to get at her brother, and suddenly she’s thrust back into her old dangerous world. Janey is devastated when she comes face to face with Mateo, believing that he is still a member of the gang. She wants to trust him, after all he was her teenage crush. Meanwhile, there is a mole who is endangering ops and personnel at DAG, and the team are working hard to discover who it is before anyone else gets hurt. Janey and Mateo work together to find the last piece of the puzzle that Mateo needs to be free. They also can’t help but give into their feelings as secrets on both sides are shared. This was a fast-paced story with great characters and plenty of drama and suspense which kept me hooked throughout. I loved the character’s, especially Mateo and Janey and their chemistry sizzled off the page and led to some steamy scenes. An enjoyable and engaging read.

Excellent story. I loved the artwork, and the lesson learned here about being courageous enough to ask for help when it is needed. You will always have friends willing to lend a hand in your troubling situations. It was also sweet to see Cray and Hay making new friends along the way to meet with Hay’s mom for her birthday.

CUTTER (Devils’ Spawn Daddies Series) by Victoria Saccenti – Review by Brandy Rymer

Cutter: Devils' Spawn DaddiesCutter: Devils’ Spawn Daddies by Victoria Saccenti
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

What a great romantic suspense read, that spins a whole new light on the reputation of MCs and that they are not all bad. I loved that the author took a different spin on the reputation of the MCs instead of portraying them as troublemakers. Instead, she took the angle of them reforming their group to have an honest role in the community, and any members who didn’t want to live within the law could leave the group and seek a new group that had no respect for what was right and wrong. This book does introduce a lot of adult content, including situations that may be triggers for some audiences. I enjoyed that there were situations that were addressed that were hard to take, but that are things that need to be made aware of for anyone who wanders the club scenes, both young and old. The storyline of the book was easy to follow along with, and the characters were great, I loved the explanations given in detail about what each type of relationship entailed, especially since this was a new type of book for me. It was eye-opening to a new dynamic of relationships that some people enjoy in this modern age. I look forward to seeing what the next book is, and whose story it covers, hopefully sticking with the same characters from the Devils’ Spawn MC group.

3 Stars

 

Treasure Hunt is the fourth book in the Grandma’s Closet’ series by Lois Wickstrom. It is an interesting, illustrated children’s storybook- with a bit of adventure, a touch of drama, a little whimsy, and plenty of imagination.
We continue Carrie’s adventures with the things she has discovered in Grandma’s Closet. Grandma has some interesting things stored in the closet and this time it is Dowsing Rods that take her on a bit of an adventure. What happens makes for another cute read.
As I have mentioned with the other book in the series- I love the cover illustration, but was really disappointed to find that the interior illustrations are not of the same type/style. The inner illustrations, although quite whimsical in a naïve style- weren’t quite as ‘interesting’ or appealing to me- and I don’t feel that they draw or hold your attention like the cover picture does. The cover picture made me want to find out what happens and captured my imagination- but the inside pictures were a bit lacking- in my opinion. Still a cute story though…
Grandma’s Closet series consists of (so far):
-Carries Flight (Book #1)
-The Round Box (Book #2)
-Magic Wanda (Book #3)
-Treasure Hunt (Book #4)
Happy reading!

CUTTER (Devils’ Spawn Daddies Series) by Victoria Saccenti – Review by Kristan Anderson

Cutter: Devils' Spawn DaddiesCutter: Devils’ Spawn Daddies by Victoria Saccenti
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Cutter: Devil Spawn Daddies by Victoria Saccenti is a daddy/middle dynamic meaning there is an age play storyline. I urge those going to read this to keep an open mind if this isn’t the typical story that they read. Emily is a the new detective at the station and she is looking to make a name for herself and gain the respect of her peers. Though she’s had a tough go at life, she doesn’t let it get in her way. Cutter is sergeant at arms for the Devils Spawn MC and takes his brotherhood seriously. The pair have met before, when she had the misfortune of arresting him for something he didn’t even do several years ago. Now it’s his help that she needs. I will say I found Emily’s character sort of a disrespectful brat. She didn’t seem as if she cared what the others at the precinct thought because she was constantly stepping out of line. And what good detective goes almost out of their way to do things to put them IN harms way. Maybe that was the point of the story to drive her further into the age play with Cutter but it didn’t make her the most likable. While I’m pretty open with kink, I found many parts of this story that I’d be grimacing. I believe because Emily was just so easy to fall and into play it was as if she forgot she was an officer. That said I overall enjoyed the book and thought the story was good.

Fuller Sight by John Stone – Review by Angela Hayes

Fuller SightFuller Sight by John Stone
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

 

3 Stars

 

Fuller Sight by John Stone is a thought-provoking, emotional, and Karmic story that left me pondering life, death, and the universe. It is a unique and original metaphysical story woven with karmic lessons, emotion, life, death, love, loss, the universe, metaphysical/new-age spiritual ideals, family, history, adventure, past-life regression, lessons, time, space, insights, and much more.
There is a LOT of information to digest, and a LOT going on here that makes it really hard to put everything into words, without risking spoiling it for you. So all I will say is, if you love metaphysical stories that make you think, and take you on a bit of an original Karmic adventure, then you will probably want to dive into this book asap.
Happy Reading…

Thank you, John Stone!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

 

3.5 Stars

 

Dirty Heartbreaker is the third instalment of the Hamilton Steelhawks series by A.C. Sheppard. This is the first book that I have read by this author and didn’t realise that it was the third book in a series when I started. Luckily it can be read as a standalone, as the series follows the Hamilton Steelhawks ice hockey team, where each book focuses on a different team member. So having read this, it has made me curious about the other team members, and so I will be going back to read the first two books to ‘meet’ those characters, before continuing on with any new instalments.
Colby and Gabriella’s story is a slow burn enemies to lover’s sports romance, where opposites attract, snarky banter abounds, and chemistry simmers- adding intrigue, spice, sparks, steam, drama, angst, and emotion.
The series is made up of (so far):
-Dirty Charmer (Book #1) — Max and Addie’s story.
-Dirty Lover (Book #2) — Jayden and Cait’s story.
-Dirty Heartbreaker (Book #3) — Colby and Gabriella’s story.
Now I am looking forward to ‘meeting’ the rest of the team!
Happy Reading…

Thank you, A.C. Sheppard!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

 

4 Stars

 

Perfect Office Pact (Perfect Romance Series) by Maria Jane is a sweet opposites attract office romance. This is another fun romance, with just enough drama to keep things interesting.
With another simple and cute cover, it drew me, and it really suits the style of the story.
Having enjoyed Maria Jane’s other work, I happily grabbed a copy of this when I saw that it had released- and spent a couple of hours of light, entertaining reading.
Perfect Office Pact proved to be a light-hearted, interesting, and touching read. It is a enemies-to-friends-to-lovers story where opposites attract, and find love unexpectedly. Declan and Mira’s story is told from a duel POV, while providing plenty of emotion, humour, sweet and tender scenes, and starring great characters. I enjoyed the way the story was woven, even if it was a little predictable at times.
When Declan finds himself in a compromising situation, he will do anything to make things right. What happens makes for a sweet read.
I must admit that I didn’t like Mira to begin with, so I was a little worried that I would be disappointed – but Maria Jane wove her magic and Mira won me over in the end.
Looking forward to seeing what Maria Jane has in store for us next!
Happy Reading!

Thank you, Maria Jane!

Years later, Emily has worked hard to become a detective and needs a man like Cutter to help with a case. Can she convince Cutter to help bring down The Sons of Chaos?

A Miracle in Muffin: A True Story by Darlene Duemo which tells the author’s true story about the time her cat went missing and the faith that gave her strength during her search.
This is an illustrated children’s story book, and has a Christian, faith-based story about the power of prayer. As it is aimed at younger readers, I think children from ages 6 to 13 would probably like this story. It reminds me of ones we used to read in Sunday School.
The story is accompanied by lovely illustrations which help the story ‘come to life’.
A sweet little book for the family bookshelf.

Thank you, Darlene Duemo!

What an explosive start to the series! I’m a huge fan of the romantic suspense genre but add in the MC with the DDLG/BDSM dynamic and I found myself hooked instantly. The main characters, Cutter and Emily, are well-developed and relatable. I was invested in them quite quickly and needed to know what was going to happen next. The chemistry between them jumps off the pages in the first chapter, and it only gets better from there. The amount of action, angst, drama, and chemistry throughout this book was absolutely astounding! I read this in one sitting because I couldn’t pull away from it. I can’t wait to continue the series and get more from this author.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

4.5 Stars

 

Hay Goes Home is the fourth book in The Adventures of Cray series by G Pa Rhymes. I know I have said this a few times before, but this is such a great series of book. I have really enjoyed reading the charming books with my young grandchildren- Cray, Hay, Gray, Fay, and Ray have such fun adventures, and always learn something along the way.
This story sees Cray the crab and Hay the fox set off to attend a special birthday party for Hay’s mother. Their journey doesn’t go quite as planned, and Cray and Hay have to overcome a few challenges to make it to the party in time. With the help of a few new friends they find their way just in time. This teaches that it is ok to ask for help, to admit that you need help, and accepting help when it is offered. It also imparts the idea of building courage, trying new things, getting out of your comfort zone because great things can happen, being brave, friendship/making friends, being helpful, being kind, and team work. A sweet, fun little read with some great lessons to impart.
Again, this great story is accompanied by lots of lovely, bright, colourful, interesting, and captivating illustrations — which help to bring the whole story to life.
G. Pa Rhymes tells another really cute tale – which is told in a rhyming/rapping verse which adds an extra element of interest to the whole story.
Easy to read. Educational. Fun. Interesting. A cast of animal friends. Wonderful illustrations. Cute story. Well worth the read.
The series contains (so far)…
-A New Day for Cray (Book #1)
-Cray Saves the Day (Book #2)
-Beach Ball Blunder (Book #3)
-Hay Goes Home (Book #4)
Looking forward to more adventuress with Cray.

This is the sixth book in the Relics Hunters series, and I am so sad to see it end! This has been one of my favorite series I’ve read in such a long time. The author has a brilliant way of creating a flawless story flow and just pulls you right in from the start. I absolutely recommend reading these in order as there are five books worth of backstory, character development, and crucial plot twists that you’ll need to appreciate fully. As always, I love the multiple points of view as you get to experience the story from different perspectives. The author creates such vivid imagery with their words, I can’t recommend picking this series up enough! Even though YA is a genre I tend to lean to, I believe this would be a great fit for anyone looking for thrilling adventures as this group goes treasure hunting with quite a bit of mystery and intrigue involved. As sad as I am to see this series end, I will be recommending to everyone I can!

I enjoy her writing style as well as her attention to details that make her stories feel realistic. This book is no different. This is a well written romance story that has a twist of humor with characters that are full of heart. What will happen when Lachlan and Molly work on a project together. One doesn’t date and the other has an accent but their chemistry is off the chart. I enjoyed watching their growth and what they added to the story made it easy to read. They are connectable and have great attraction. This is a fast paced, engaging and hard to put down story that you don’t want to miss. I really enjoyed this story and the laughs that come with it.

Detective Emily longs to be understood and appreciated, not only at home in her love life but also at work. Learning to keep the two separate is a full time job and one that Emily does not succeed at very well. While learning to accept herself, Emily must decide if being with Cutter is more rewarding than bringing down the Sons of Chaos and their crime ring. Choices are made and punishment will be served. The only question now is will Emily and Cutter survive?

Not my first DDLG story and not my first book by this author. Looking forward to the next Daddy story.

I was a little surprised by this book, mostly because I didn’t read the synopsis before clicking on it. Don’t usually let book covers pull me in without reading the synopsis and wasn’t disappointed.

This is a new genre to me and had no expectations, was pleasantly surprised on what I found between the cover.

Emily and Cutter met before under very different circumstances and they left impressions on that first encounter. When they meet up again after a few years the dynamic between them is quite different.

I don’t know much about the Daddy/sub (middle) relationship so I have no idea if this is what a relationship is truly like, but it lead to an interesting book. If you keep your mind open then I think you could end up enjoying it.

Mateo always cared about Janey unlike her brother. The two guys have gone down some dark roads and done some very dark things. Janey took the conventional road, college, not that it was super easy but she did it. Her brother Scott decides to go rogue and steals some information from the gang that they don’t want him to have so they end up kidnapping Janey to get back at him thinking he will turn over the stolen info. Janey is hoping against all hope that Mateo still cares about her and will help her get back home. Lots of mysteries and surprises in the fun, fast paced romance.

The brothers have to band together with the Atlanteans to defeat a common enemy while also finding out what actually happened to their father.

I really enjoyed this conclusion of the series, it was fast paced and full of information. Greek mythology mixed with modern times made it much more exciting to read about. Martin Ferguson did an amazing job with this series!

The Other Side of Together by Emily Cox and Nicole Allen. This is a great young adult romance but its not all rainbows and butterflies so be prepared. Marcus has a bet with his dad that he will leave girls alone until he graduates so he can concentrate on soccer. If he holds up his end of the deal he will get a motorcycle when he graduates high school. Mei Li involved with Nick a adult who is helping her with her Chef dreams and also helping her family make a go in the US. When Marcus meets Mei Li at the bus stop and then when Marcus and his father dine in the restaurant Mei Li works. Marcus is interested and starts sending her secret messages. Nick is not my favorite character and I felt he really used Mei Li and her family to his advantage. Marcus is smitten with Mei Li and will do anything to make her his. This is more than just a young adult romance as it deals with some sticky topics so be aware. Such a good book though!
