My rating: 3 of 5 stars

The cover really pulled me in and I love a good suspense book so I had high hopes but the book fell a little flat for me.
I really wanted a hook to bring me and make it so I didn’t want to put the book down and I struggled to find that moment in the book.
While I understand the premise behind the book and I’m no prude by any means this story could have been so much better without the language. Reduced by 50% the book would have had the same feel but it just seemed like overkill.
Even though I gave this book three stars I would still give this author another chance if there was a book that caught my eye.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This was a great 5 star read. I love dark romance and this did not disappoint. We start right where book 1 ended, I was on the edge of my seat reading this. I really liked both Kingston and Ava, I really like the alpha bad boys. Ava is a strong character as well and as Kingstons captive she starts to fall for him. We get some very hot and steamy moments. Overall this was a great read. We get several twists and turns. I will warn there may be some triggers for some. You really need to read book 1 before this one. If you like dark romance this would be a read for you. I look forward to reading more from this author. 1-click and get started today.

It Just Comes Natural (Powder River Pack Series) by Brooke May – Review by Brandy Rymer

It Just Comes Natural (Powder River Pack Book 3)It Just Comes Natural by Brooke May
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is the third book in the Powder River series and tells us Macy and Brandon’s story. I adored meeting Miranda’s father and reading about the story of how her parents met, fell in love, and then were separated. We get to see what a day in Macy’s life is like outside of working the bar and keeping Derek in line with his grumpy self, well until Annabelle comes back into his life in book one of the series. I love how the author takes us back in time to the beginning of each of the stories of the characters, but then brings us to the present time. Each of the books overlaps in their storylines, but each time we get to see it from our main character’s point of view. I have been loving reading through each of these character’s stories, but I especially loved reading about what a strong female character Macy is, and how Miranda got all of her energy and mischievousness from her father. This series is a must-read if you love werewolves and mythical stories with a new twist.

Call of the Alpha (Powder River Pack #2)Call of the Alpha by Brooke May
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is the second book in the Powder River series and introduces us to Mason and Riley’s story. Mason is the alpha of the pack, and meets his mate, Riley, at the very beginning of the story. This happens right after his brother Miles meets his mate, her best friend, Alexa, as they both walk into the bar together. We also get to meet Mason’s son, Archer, who he had with a woman who was not his mate but was a drug abuser. Archer’s mom signed away all of her rights as soon as she was done having him, thank goodness because Mason came and picked up his son immediately and took charge of being a single dad. Archer was Mason’s everything, he had no room for women in his life until he met his mate, who he hopes will love Archer just as much as he does. Riley is the perfect woman for Mason, but she doesn’t know anything about the existence of werewolves, will she be able to accept him for who and what he is? I was so excited to understand what Riley’s big brother’s secret was, it was a great way to introduce our next set of characters for the next book in the series as well.

A Second ChanceA Second Chance by Brooke May
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is the first book in the Powder River Pack series, where we are introduced to a group of werewolves and their mates. In this series, only males can be werewolves, but they are mated to females that are regular humans. Derek and Annabelle met while younger and dated for a few years before Annabelle was forced to move due to a bad marriage and her parents getting divorced. Annabelle’s dad seems to have a problem with people, no one seems to make him happy including his daughter and ex-wife. As we progress through the story, we find out why Annabelle’s dad hates Derek, and life in general and takes this anger out on everyone around him. He wants everyone to be miserable just as much as he is and has no problem going to extreme measures to achieve this. This was an amazing first book in this series and introduces a ton of great characters that I am so excited to get to know more in the next books.

This is book 4 of the Powder River Pack series and tells the story of Alexa and Miles. The long wait is finally over, we get to find out why Alexa was so hot and cold towards Miles, and what happened to her in the past that has caused her to be so damaged when it comes to relationships. I loved the drama that this book was filled with and the thrill of trying to figure out who was watching Alexa. The characters were amazing, it was awesome meeting and getting to know the newest characters, and I cannot wait for the next book in the series. I’m excited to see which character’s story will come next.

Savage Start (Hidden Valley Elite #0.5)Savage Start by Isla Vaughn
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is the first book I have read from this author and wow she now has a new fan. This book is the prequel to the Hidden Valley Elite series and now I’m hooked on these guys. I also love that she wrote this from both characters’ points of view because it makes me feel more emotional for them. This was a quick read for you to get ready for this epic series and I can’t wait to read it.

Riley is used to moving around so when her and her mother end up in another small town she doesn’t get attached. She wanted to have some fun first because she would be gone soon anyway. Riley sees a house party so she sneaks in and she looks around. She sees something valuable so she takes it but she wasn’t expecting to run into someone. Riley runs into the very addictive Cole. She doesn’t know what to do so she kisses him and runs. Will Riley leave and never return or will Cole find her first?

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 the next book in the Philly Street Series. Another adventure for the characters the reader has learned to love in the last few books. The author brings a story full of suspense and intrigue that gets extremely close to home.
Noah works himself to the bone never giving himself a chance at a life and being happy. He doesn’t understand what he sees happening with his friends but is happy for them nonetheless.
Unfortunately he’s about to find out in an unexpected way. Sadie was a fling a few nights he will always remember. That is till he runs into her at a coffee shop in Philly.
Sadie never thought she’d see Noah again. When that proves to be wrong, she decides to take full advantage. Convincing him of spending an evening together. Unfortunately for her it leads to her being attacked and injured badly by the current suspect in the case Noah is trying to solve.
Now he’s faced with a dilemma. Noah’s off the case because he’s too invested, but can he really stop?
Will Noah keep Sadie safe?
Will they bring the suspect to justice?
The answers to those questions is what keeps the reader invested in this story. Turning the page and wanting more! This may be a series but these books work well as standalone novels as well. Jump in and enjoy!

This was a super cute, well illustrated, easy to understand way to start early education for children about how to take care of the earth. We enjoyed reading this book and talking about all the questions and subjects that it brought up. It kind of reminded me of a tv show my kids used to watch called Wonder Pets where the animals save the day.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is the 5 th book in The Relic Hunters Series. Although each book can be read as a standalone, you have more knowledge and background of the storylines and characters if you read them in order. It’s been a while since I read the first book but it didn’t take long before I was sucked into Matt and Adam’s adventure. I especially like reading about the different locations the brothers travel to and search for the relic. The world the author created is action packed, keeps the story moving, and we get to know these characters and why they hunt for the relics.

A Heart So Savage (The Savage Duet #2)A Heart So Savage by April Moran
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

A Heart so Savage is the second book in April Moran’s Savage Duet Series. April can most certainly write a story that you will pull you in, make you invested, and be full of steam, and action. A Heart So Savage had it all along with some things that could be triggering, so you should check those out before starting book one, but they were not triggering to me. They helped me understand the characters, the way they acted, why they behaved certain ways, and make the decisions that they did. Kingston was able to redeem himself much more than in the first book and became a much more like able man. After all he did only want to protect Ava as much as she confused him and made him feel and behave in ways he just didn’t understand. This is definitely a series that needs to be read in order. I really enjoyed this duet and would be interested in reading other books by this author.

This is book five in The Philly Heat Series. Each book could easily be a standalone, but they are all so perfectly intertwined. This is Noah Danes (FBI special agent) and Sadie Potter (Forensic Facial Reconstructionist) story as they happen to meet again. Each character is wonderfully written and easily relatable. I was quickly pulled in and could not stop reading till I was done. A romantic suspense filled with drama, emotion, action, a killer, romance and more twists and turns to create a perfect book. I definitely recommend this book and well the whole series.

First the cover caught my eye then the synopsis piqued my interest. By the end of the first chapter I was fully hooked. I could not put the book down. It started as just one more chapter before bed and ended with finishing the book a few hours past when I should have been asleep. There is adventure, rivals, academy setting, and a unique cast of characters. Bonus, enemies to rivals trope. 

I am definitely a fan of this series and cannot wait to get lost in the next book in the series.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I was doing my best to patiently wait for this book, and I’m pleased to say that it is a deliciously dark romance that kept me awake for hours just so I could finish in one sitting! Without giving anything detrimental to the story away, I *highly* recommend reading the first book in the duet. The chemistry that King and Ava have is no joke, but this book doesn’t just rely on steamy scenes for a plot. There is plenty of intense danger, action, drama, and a rollercoaster of emotions throughout that will have you at the edge of your seat. Although Kingston was far from my favorite person in the first book of this duet, getting more of his background here really does a nice job humanizing him, even if it is still twisted. If you’re looking for a steamy, tantalizing dark romance to devour, look no further. This is your sign!

Weston is in need of a roommate in order to help pay the bills…and the two roommates he ends up with blossom quickly into an unexpected MMF relationship. Weston, Petra, and Callum share a chemistry that is steamy and off the charts. The dogs add a sweet and humorous element to the story.

There are some twists that I didn’t see coming and quite a range of emotions throughout this quick read. I found myself rooting for their happy ending! The author did an amazing job with this genre. And the epilogue at the end…a great way to wrap up the book!

Relic Hunters: Betrayal of the Gods (Relic Hunters Series) by Martin Ferguson . This is the 5th installment in the Relic Hunter series and it follows 2 brothers Matt and Adam. They are continuing their mission to find the lost city of Atlantis. The brothers are facing something they’ve never had to deal with in a battle and that is they have no equipment or supplies to help them fight the battle of their lives. They have to rely on their skills and smarts as they fight. The boys learn so much about Greek myths thru this story and they learn they don’t know nearly as much as they thought they did. There is a side story about Princess Alaina of Atlantis and her fight in the Trojan War as well. This is a fast paced young adult story that will keep you on the edge of your seat and you will want to finish it when you start. I highly recommend reading these in order to help you better understand the story line and characters.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

It only took me a day to read this book. I couldn’t put it down, it’s definitely my favorite of the series. (Should I say so far? Is it possible there will be more with Lynn?)
There’s an instant chemistry with Miller and Maisy. Their relationship moved fast but it worked, it felt like I was reading characters who have known each other for years. Bear is awesome, I couldn’t help myself thinking who would name their kid Bear? But his personality is great and you just can’t help falling in love with this kid. I’m glad that Miller got along with him so well too. The family gets some closure with the Doctor and their father’s death and I’m really glad they got this, they needed this. My only fault with the story is the fire and the break in. I felt those were big things and them just being a fluke doesn’t sit right with me. Also, I know “don’t judge a book by its cover.” The cover looks great, I would pick this up in a store just looking at it, but that guy just doesn’t say Miller to me.
This is just a light, feel good story, it has a little spice but not so much that it takes away from the story.

This is a good way for kids to learn how to act within a friendship and learn boundaries and the correct manner in which to act. I really would recommend this book for young kids.

Nash has a hard time dealing with headaches and it makes him a bit grumpy, so when Betsy first meets Nash, he’s not the most pleasant individual.

Then Betsy’s sister comes along and makes things difficult with her drama.

Resisting Nature is the fourth book in the Powder River Pack Series and is a wonderfully written Paranormal Romance that I absolutely loved reading. I’m a huge fan of this author and have read several books by her. I love that no matter what genre she’s writing she pulls you into their world and makes you feel apart of the story. The characters are relatable, fully developed and some are creative. This Paranormal Romance grabbed me from the first page and I literally read this in one sitting because I couldn’t put it down. This is packed with drama, secrets, action, love,alpha shifters , werewolves, pain , hope and so much more. Alexa and Miles, she’s just wanting a fresh start from the mess her life had been in and she wants to be happy so she trying to start over. Can she find the happiness she’s looking for? Miles thinks he’s found his mate until he loses her. Can he show her that they are meant for one another? I highly recommend reading this book to find out what happens next. I’m looking forward to reading more from this Author.
