Murder off Route 82 Audio Book (Eve Sawyer Mystery) by Jane Suen – Review by Laura Jones

/0 Comments/in /by

This was a very entertaining read! I finished it in one go, listening to it while I was working. I found it to be an enjoyable listen. This is book 3 of the Eve Sawyer series, and I’ve read the previous books. This book, however, would do fine as a standalone for anyone who hadn’t yet read the previous books. In this book, Eve and her love interest, Bob, set off to find their missing friends, Sally Rae and Drew, after Sally Rae’s mother called Eve to ask for her help in finding her daughter after she hadn’t come home for the weekend as she had planned. Drew and Sally Rae were in a relationship, but it was rumored that they had split up. However, both of them were missing with no clue as to what their whereabouts could be. Were they together? Sally Rae hadn’t been spotted by anyone since Friday afternoon, and Drew’s phone was left at home, and he was nowhere to be found. Eve and Bob do their best to track the two down, eventually receiving help from Drew’s roommate Randall. The friends are taken on a wild ride, full of twists. Another great read from Jane Suen, and I can’t wait to read more from this author!

Check Out Audiobook (The Bobbins Sisters Series) by Debra Parmley – Review by Micalah Weatherholtz

/0 Comments/in /by

I enjoyed listening to Check Out by Debra Parmley. The voice of the narrator was unique and made you feel like you were actually listening to someone straight from the south. She was original and it made for a nice change from your typical audiobook narrator. The story itself was such a fun read and I enjoyed Nash immensely, he was so sweet to Betsy, and I loved the fact that a lot of it took place in a library. The only thing I didn’t like was Betsy seemed a little immature and childish at first. Overall it was a well rounded enjoyable read that I’m glad I listened to. I will check out book number two as well to see where life takes her sister.

Deceptively Yours (Titans of Chicago Series) by Anise Storm – Review by Jessica Stone

So, this is the first book in a new series by Anise Storm about a group of Billionaire men whom call themselves titans.

Right off the bat for any sensitive readers please heed the trigger warnings, this book is spicy and has so subjects that some might be sensitive too.

So this book is about Harper and Gabriel, to friends whom have known each other all of their lives who naturally ended up deeply in love with one another until tragedy strikes and they are forced apart in the blink of an eye. To save Gabriel from heartache and even more pain Harper ends things with him and promptly disappears from Gabes life. Until 9 years later when a dangerous situation forces Harper to seek out Gabriel and thrusts them back together(rather reluctantly in gabs part)
Will he find it in his heart to forgive and move past the hurt he experience, will Harper finally open up to gabe and be honest about why she broke his heart all those years ago.

I lovedddd these characters so much, I honestly can’t decide if I like Harper or Gabe more, I love the headstrong character that Harper is, but the vulnerability that she still has. And I adore the sweet spot that Gabe still finds himself having for Harper even after all the hurt he’s felt. Their relationship is just so day one, they were made for each other. Alsoooo, the dark sexy side of Gaberial that is alpha whole, demanding, takes what he wants just does it for me. And Harper being this shy sweet girl who is actually a little naughty is what I believe all women should be able to feel and experience.

All and all I thoroughly enjoyed this book, the characters were fun and interesting without being overloaded with unnecessary information, the world building was spot on, and the story was fun and engaging with a splash of good ole smut. I can’t wait to read what the author has in store for the rest of this series.

Elusive Surrender (Sinful Duets Book 3) by Via Mari – Review by Shea Gilkerson 2/9/24

Elusive Surrender (Sinful Duets #3)Elusive Surrender by Via Mari
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The bodyguards of the wealthiest and deadliest families around are back again, finding the loves of their lives in places they never expected. I love the prose, the dominance, the chemistry, the worldbuilding in this series, and I enjoy quick reads that can make you feel like you’re not missing anything in the story.

Alexis innocently and accidentally drops her card when going for coffee. As she stoops down to pick it up, she finds a man has already done so…and he refuses to give it back to her. She keeps trying to get it back so that he doesn’t discover personal details, but he is resistant. He is pushy, domineering, and she is getting creeped out. In steps Sheldon to save the day, as he often does as a dominant man. He planned on that being the end of their interaction, but can’t seem to find himself ridding his mind of her in a lot of different ways. They work together and learn more about the creep in the cafe, Sheldon realizes he wants to protect Alexis and her family and friends forever. Will he be able to protect them all without his constant thoughts of her interrupting and causing mistakes?

Nick and Allie

Allie is family to Alexis and gets brought into the fray as Sheldon and Alexis discover and track the trafficking ring that was introduced in the last addition. Allie is a spitfire and has no idea just how dangerous the ring and it’s people can be, so she keeps trying to dodge the bodyguards and go about her life. When Nick appears to tell her he will be sticking around to keep her safe, she’s unsure if she should trust herself around him…he’s too hot, too intense, too everything. Can she resist? Nick decided to jump in when Allie proved to be too much for his fellow alpha male bodyguards. He tries to get her to understand just how dangerous this trafficking ring is and the terrible things that can happen, but he’d be lying if he claimed she hadn’t stoked a fire in him he can’t ignore. When they decide to enjoy each other’s company in the midst of tracking the trafficking ring, will either of them ever be able to go back to before? Do they even want to?

Savage Lies (Hidden Valley Elite #1)Savage Lies by Isla Vaughn
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Savage Lies is the very first book in the Hidden Valley Elite series, and what a read! It’s full to the brim with drama, emotion, and HEAT! Cole and Riley are both such addicting characters, truly a new addition in the classic, but fantastic enemies to lovers trope! I personally recommend reading the prequel Savage Start before diving into this, there are several references you may not got if not, as well as it being just as thrilling to read! Was truly enthralled with this series and could not put it down, finishing it in a day just like a did with the prequel! Definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a spicy, anger inducing, amazingly frustrating book!!

Fade Into the Night (Philly Heat series, #5)Fade Into the Night by Becky Flade
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Fade Into the Night is Book Five in the Philly Night series and could be read as a standalone, however I do recommend reading previous books in the series. Not only are there some overlapping characters, but the rest of the series is amazing. The story centers around the characters of Noah and Sadie and is told from each of their POV which enables us to experience their respective thoughts and feelings. Noah is an FBI Special Agent who has come to Philadelphia in pursuit of the Beltway Romeo where he unexpectedly runs into Sadie, a Forensic Facial Reconstructionist, at a local coffee shop. The two had a brief fling years ago after the sentencing of Sadie’s mother’s murderer and never expected to see one another again. Since their brief fling each has thought of the other constantly so seeing each other rekindles old feelings and reignites the passion between them. When Sadie is attacked by the Beltway Romeo Noah is determined to protect her at all costs and bring the killer to justice. Danger lurks at every corner for them both as the Beltway Romeo is determined to finish what he started. The author does a great job of weaving a story full of drama, suspense, mystery, intrigue, action, and danger. The suspense is palpable and hooks you from the first few pages leaving you on the edge of your seat as you wonder when and where the psychotic killer will strike next. The characters are complex, well written and relatable. It is easy to become invested in their lives and their story. I highly recommend this book!

Hidden Mischief (Shattered Embrace #1)Hidden Mischief by Alyndra Quinn
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is a well written story which is focused entirely on the two main characters. This is the first book that I have read by this author and I enjoyed getting familiar with their writing style. I didn’t necessarily connect with the story itself but I found the main characters interesting enough that it didn’t matter. I loved the connection between them. They had an undeniable chemistry that just seemed to work for them.
I thought this book was a great way to get a feel for this authors writing style. I showed what kind of work they produced and has definitely piqued my interest for further books. I am going to explore what else they have to offer, including any more in this series.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This book is a great sports romance story with a enemies-to-lovers theme. The players had an interesting history which coloured their first few interactions and set the tone for the entertaining story we got. It is quite a slow burn story but for me, that just gave us more time to get to know the characters and love them for who they are.
The book is a well written story that is a great mix of good story-telling, romance and spice. This is the first book that I had read by this author and it can definitely be read as a standalone. Having read this book however, I know I will be going back to read the others because I enjoyed this one so much. This is a great book and I am excited to read more.

The third book in the sinful duets series by Via Mari does not disappoint. Two super SUPER HOT stories full of amazing sex scenes and lots of action.

These stories all interlink with not only the previous books in this series but also the previous novels by Via Mari. Do yourself a favour and read them ALL

Jumping on mid series, I wasn’t entirely sure what I was expecting. I was pleasantly surprised to figure it could truly be read as a stand alone; however, rven with that being said I will be going back to read the previous books in the series just based solely on the little tidbits you get on the previous characters storyline throughout the book.

Suckered into helping a friend, Jackson, after he tells a lie the will majority affect both thier lives. Once Ros agrees to help keep up the ruse, things really get interesting. Will the two be able to stay just friends? Get a HEA? Or ruin a great friendship forever? Pick up the book and give it a read to find out. I would recommend it.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I have read books by this author previously and I really liked her writing style so I was looking forward to getting stated with this one. Overall I enjoyed it, I’ve read quite a few stories in this genre so nothing really surprises me although I would say that DD/LG is probably one of my least favourite to read however the story was much more than that. There was a lot of action that kept my interest throughout and the characters were great to read about. They had their own things going on. I did really like Cutter, he was a great character to read about and the chemistry between him and Emily was undeniable!
I would recommend this book and I am looking forward to reading more from this author again in the future.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Another wonderful book about Cray and his friends. In this book the author touches on the subject of dropping litter and trying to save our oceans and beaches from the rubbish that people leave behind after they have enjoyed their days out. The story again is told in a lovely rhyme that is really engaging for children. My 4 year old really enjoyed this story. For slightly older children this book would be a great introduction to the subject of dropping rubbish and how it can have an effect on our environment.

There is a great moral to the story to about lying and how it is always better to tell the truth, something that we always teach children so this story would be a great starting point to encourage discussions about the subject. Again the story was accompanied by beautiful, colourful illustrations that complement it well.

This is not the usual book that I read however I do love cats so I thought I would give it a go. The story was sweet and you could really feel how important God and faith is to the author – whom this story is based on and this really came across well in the story. I can imagine people who have a particularly strong faith would find this book lovely to read and especially for younger children who are learning about prayer and believing. The book was well written, a nice short story for young children/adults to enjoy.
Whilst it was not my kind of story I did enjoy reading it.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This paranormal romance was NOT long enough! This is an intriguing and spell-binding treat to indulge in. I started the story sympathizing with Selene and then rapidly found myself quite jealous of her! It is a steamy tale but well-written, and it left me wanting oh so much more. This is a good one to dig into when you don’t want to commit to anything lengthy, but you will definitely wish it was longer and that’s my only complaint here. I love the way this author writes and highly recommend this story.

Elusive Surrender (Sinful Duets #3)Elusive Surrender by Via Mari
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Another entertaining two book collection of dark mafia romances, with plenty of drama and suspense to keep me happily turning the pages. I love these ‘duet’ books as I can ‘binge read’ the series! Sheldon and Alexis’s story is one of being in the wrong place at the wrong time, which is what happens to Alexis. Sheldon is a bodyguard to wealthy billionaires and the Larussio Crime Family, and so recognises the danger she’s in before she does. A criminal sets his sites on Alexis and so Sheldon steps in to recue her, as she causes his protective and possessive instincts to kick in. In book two, Nick is a wealthy member of a security team which protects billionaires and Mafia men and is used to getting what he wants. Then he rescues Allie who both takes his breath away and has a sassy mouth, but she’s weary of men and keeps him at a distance. However, Nick is determined to break down her defences, and when she’s in danger from criminals he will protect what is his. These two stories are both engaging, and the storylines had me hooked throughout. The characters and settings come alive through the descriptive narrative, making me feel immersed in the stories. I love the dark romances but also love knowing that each couple will have a guaranteed happily ever after!

Me and my daughter really enjoyed this book. Each story has a different lesson behind it. Bounce back was great, learning that it’s okay to make mistakes, but if you try again you will succeed. Beautiful Differences, Sasha learns that all her friends are from all over the world. How different cultures around the world are, different foods. But there’s always something from a country that links sasha and her friends together. Just relax, Percy tells Sasha that she just needs to take a break. We learn that it’s okay not to go into overdrive and just keep going with everything, it’s okay to take a break and just relax before going to do what needs to be done.<br />Each chapter was so beautifully written. Everyone needs to read this book!

This book was an ok read for me. I thought the overall story was good but it just didn’t hit all the way for me. I liked Gabriel’s character development more than Harper but feel that Harper wasn’t as developed as a character the way I felt he was. I would have liked to see more for Harper. I also feel like the details in his development made you want to really hate him. It was a little too dark for my comfort.

Hidden Mischief (Shattered Embrace #1)Hidden Mischief by Alyndra Quinn
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Ashton is a strong, Independent woman when she is in her job is formidable but there is a secret which is buried deep down and she is nervous to let lose, her submissive side. Ashton believed she had “retired” from the scene but when she decides to give Shattered Embrace a chance but will see get what she wants and who she wants??

Zach in his day to day job is the CEO of a major company, but he has a secret where he and his brother co-own a BDSM Club. Memberships are hard to come by and have a vigorous process until one application peaks his interest, so when he discovers its the new consultant they have hired he decides to give into the obvious chemistry they have but is she really the submissive he wants and requires?

This is the first book I have read by this author and lets say it won’t be the last. I loved the character of Ashton, all strong and determined in her day job but knows what she wants and is ready to take it if needs be. When you add into the mix of Zach’s character the chemistry just explodes off the page.

The way the story weaves and slowly opens up Ashton’s story is brilliant and the at time soft approach of Zach is beautiful to read. The secondary characters also add another layer to the story and hoping that some of them get there stories in the future.

Thank you for adding another book boyfriend to my list and hope to read more of the wonderful group of people in the future.

A cute short story about how a woman’s belief in God lead to the miracle return of her cat Muffin.
