Again, another intriguing tale of mystery. A German U-Boat is found and they are on a mission to protect it and bring it back. Oh the adventures they have. They take many risks. I am enjoying this series. These kids are pretty gutsy. It really is wonderful writing an the characters are so well done and feel like they are kids from your neighborhood.

Between the characters and the world described it is very difficult to put the book down, <br />Two books in one, honestly what more can you ask for.<br />In book 1 Wayward: we follow Jay and Sasha in their story, protector and princess, high chemistry and angst, a fantastic read on its own when Sasha finds herself in trouble can Jay both keep her alive and safe and keep his job. <br />In book2 we continue with Marenah and Matt in Undercover. Marenah is sister to Sasha in Wayward, in book 2 almost everyone has secrets and it weaves a web of deceit, but is deceit for the good of the many enough to complete a mission. <br />I really enjoyed both books <br/><br/> <a href=”https://www.goodreads.com/review/list/34425105-tracy”>View all my reviews</a>

What a fun adventure series. This is a team of young people that are tasked with saving historical pieces. They have adventures that one can only imagine and go through some danger and mystery. This was a story that I couldn’t put down. I found my self fascinated right from the start. I’m looking forward to reading more of this series.

Adam and his friends are out again trying to help save relics. This time they are in Egypt during a severe sandstorm. They face danger and many risks as they go about their mission. I love the writing and the characters in these stories. Though geared for young adult, they are very easy for adults to get into also. I couldn’t put it down. A fascinating tale.

This is the second book in this series. I highly suggest reading the first book before this one to help your enhancement of this series as well as the characters. In this book Leo and his siblings find their new home. What will happen when the past comes to the present and they are after blood. They are now in a game of fight for survival. Who will win and who will lose is up to you to read and find out. You don’t want to miss out for sure. It was great seeing the characters again and what situation they found themselves in. My favorite is Leo and his determination is great. I enjoyed watching the growth of the characters and the plot throughout the story. This is a fast paced story that is hard to put down and engaging. A story that will keep you coming back for more until the end. I really enjoyed this book and this series. I highly recommend this book.

This is the first book of a two book series which was entertaining to read. What a great start to a new series and I look forward to picking up book two. I found this book to be well written and hard to put down. I enjoyed the author’s writing skills that brought the story to life. Her attention to details brought reality to the story. This is a story about two brothers who have a magical power. They find themselves in a situation where they are forced to leave a life they have always known to find another. It becomes a game of survival, one of which you do not want to miss. I enjoyed these characters and how relatable they are. They are strong characters that add so much to the story. This is a fast paced, engaging story that had me turning pages fast just to find out what happened next. I really enjoyed reading this book. I highly recommend this book.

The Uncrowned King (The Blood Prince Series) by Ayla Marie. This is the second book in the Blood Prince series and its so good. I do recommend reading the first book to better understand characters and timelines. Its about Leo who is supposed to be the next King but he doesn’t want that. He doesn’t want the power he just wants to use the position to make a place for him and his loved ones. When he is first presented with the crown he automatically says no but he and his family decide they can use that position for their betterment. Will Leo succeed in finding a place for his family and friends to thrive and feel safe in? There is murder, intrigue, loyalty and more in this family tale that is a young adult read but I really enjoyed it and I think others will too. Its a fast paced read that will have you reading until you finish. Do yourself a favor and read this fun young adult fantasy, you won’t be disappointed!

Right from the start I found myself chuckling with the story. Miller was hiding his case from his family the best the could. We see when he gets back to the restaurant how that turns out. Maisy is running away from a marriage that she doesn’t really want. She’s doing her best to protect her brother, Bear, from her mother. Between the two of them, there are some issues that are deep and need to be resolved. I do find that these two are like a bit of a healing salve for each other. Miller, a former playboy, doesn’t want any other girl now. Maisy is attracted to Miller and is finding that he makes her happy. Bear has a role to play with everyone. He’s a terrific kid that brings a smile to everyone. He’s my favorite character in the story. He’s so good and innocent. This is a terrific book that has romance, comedy, and drama. When Maisy drops into Miller’s front seat, you can feel the Runaway Bride vibes. It’s a fun story that will have you smiling. There is great chemistry. There are familiar faces that appear in the story from previous books. It can be read as a standalone or in order in the series.

Having enjoyed the previous book in this series I was looking forward to this second novel which is two stories in one, great for binge reading! First is Damian and Bryanna’s story, not only is he connected with the mafia he’s also a wealthy bodyguard. His assignment should have been easy, find Bryanna who had been kidnapped by a global trafficking ring and take her home to her family, but Bryanna has offer plans. Bryanna has secrets and the trafficking ring have a hold over her which makes her fight Damian and even escape from him. However, as soon as he saw Bryanna, he knew she was going to be his and he will do anything to protect her. Dereck and Layla also meet whilst he’s on an assignment, she’s an exotic dancer who has links to the criminal underworld. When Layla is in danger, Dereck calls upon his mafia alliances to help keep her safe, as all it took was one look and she was going to be his. I was captivated by these two dark romantic suspense stories, and although the storylines have me on the edge of my seat, I like knowing that the couple will get a HEA. The chemistry between both couples is fiery and I love how their relationships develop throughout the story. An enjoyable and engaging duet and I look forward to book 3.

The Uncrowned King is sequel of The Blood Prince. I would recommend reading that one first before diving into this next part of the story! The Uncrowned King picks up right at the height of the action with Leo and his siblings surrounded by the court of IIlena. Are they any safer in this new place? Leo must make some tuff decisions to keep his family safe. Will all hope be lost? The book has three main perspectives (Leo, Elena, and Cael). I like the change of narrator because we get more insight into the other characters. I recommend reading book these books by Ayla Marie, she is talented writer! There is a minor cliffhanger at the end of the story so I am anxiously awaiting the next book.

This historical / thriller / fantasy series (seriously, it’s all those genres put together) is back for its third and final installment and I’m a little sad to see it end. I love the fast pace, the suspense, the adventure of it all. There’s so much detail in the world and the characters are compelling, which makes the reader kind of fall into the story themselves. This book had me hooked, as did the rest of the series. Highly recommend!

Oh my ! I’m drowning in this cover art ! It’s just so beautiful ! Much like what is in between the pages 😉
Also warn friends and family you’ll be unavailable to do anything as you immerse yourself into your book bubble , take snacks and drinks ( you know to survive ) and you’ll face reality when you get there 🤣
What is more delightful than getting 2 books on 1 !? I know my greedy little heart was soooooo happy 🤣🥰📚these women are fearless and will do anything for their men , to love and protect them 🥰 rest assured they get their HEA and there will be times where it looks impossible but take heart ❤️
Wayward
Sasha is just beautiful and such a graceful dancer but she’s also Jay’s kryptonite… she’s broken and feels used up but Jay is something else and I felt sorry to a degree for Sasha because she thinks she’s not worthy of love and affection and Jay is so patient with her and is determined to prove her otherwise …
Jay has his hands full because he’s also trying to protect Sasha from an outside threat but I like how despite their struggles there’s time for spice and fun 🔥
Sasha and Jay sure kept me on my toes , enjoy them 🥰😉
Undercover
We’ve met Jay and Sasha now it’s time to make new friends , Matt and Marenah ….
Matt lives life on the risky side and when he goes undercover and joins the mafia to gain confidences and intel my blood runs cold and I can feel my heart beating on my throat , then the Russians get their hands on him and I actually feel sick because I know what is going to happen , we’ll my mind runs wild and gory 🙈
Marenah is the granddaughter to the Russian mafia and she wants answers but she’s being hunted by the Russians and those in Chicago and she walks into the lions den when she goes looking for answers about her grandpa , now she’s captive with Matt ….
Matt and Marenah are wanted people and they’re in for the fight of their lives and I was on the edge of my seat for most of this read but again I can breathe at the end and my blood pressure returns to normal with a HEA 😉

5 Stars Good Enough (The Deadman’s Tribe Series Book 1) by Nicole Craig
Good Enough is the first book in The Deadman’s Tribe Series and is a Romance Suspense that will have you turning the pages till the end. This is also this authors debut novel. The cover absolutely intrigued me so much I had to know what the story was. I’m a sucker for any kind of Military Romance and this one definitely checks all the boxes. The characters are developed and engaging and they made the story come to life. The twists and turns had me turning the pages trying to figure out what was going to happen next. Kai and Waters oh my these two have the sizzling chemistry between them and both are fighting it. Kai is a Hollywood director who enlists the helpfrom Tribe for the upcoming movies she is working on . It focuses on Navy Seal and she wants it to be as close to real life as possible. So with the help of Waters who will help in that area. There’s some danger lurking around can Waters keep Kai safe? I don’t want to give to much away so I highly recommend reading this book to find out what happens next. Im eagerly waiting for the next book in this series.

Another crazy hot duet from this author. I am a sucker for a dark mafia romance. This gives me two for one. There are twists, so much drama, some steamy steam, and lots of brave men and women fighting the blight of human trafficking.
This story picks up where we left the last duet. The agency’s men are on a rescue mission to find and return Jenny’s niece, Bryanna. Damian feels an unusual pull to protect this green eyed beauty. He can’t fight it. Damian’s protector drives kick into high gear whenever he is near her. Bryanna is in serious danger but fights Damian at every turn, even running back to the people that took her.
Damian figures out part of the truth that keeps Bryanna running back. When he is able to tell her that he is protecting those most important to her, Bryanna stops running long enough to help Damian get the bad guys that took her from her family.
Bryanna was able to find one person during her ordeal that protected her and helped her, Layla. When Layla exchanges information to help Bryanna, she puts herself in peril. Dereck, Damian’s teammate, steps up to protect Layla from the trouble they caused her by using her to help Bryanna. Dereck learns fast that there is more to Layla than meets the eye.
Dereck and Layla can each feel the magnetic pull towards each other. Dereck thinks it is because he can feel Layla’s latent submissive side whenever they are together but it just makes Layla fight and pull against Dereck even more. Dereck continues to earn Layla’s trust by showing up whenever she puts herself into more and more dangerous situations trying to solve a mystery.
The teams come together to help figure out who is behind the trafficking ring and prevent new “shipments” from leaving. It is never as easy as they plan and face new difficulties even as they bring several key players in the rings down. Fantastic stories!!! I hope that there are truly people out there fighting the bad guys that ‘gather’ for traffickers and the sickos that are the reasons for them.

Trouble has always had a way of finding me, but even I never expected to be carjacked by a pretty girl in a wedding dress.
As the official family screw-up, not many people count on me for anything but a good time. But Maisy Romero and her little brother need a knight in shining armor, and they need him yesterday.
Clearly, I’m not that guy, especially since I’ve already got serious trouble chasing me down—the kind that just landed me in jail. The last thing this runaway bride needs is to tangle herself up with me and my mess.
But Maisy sees something greater in me that nobody else ever has—well, almost nobody—and she’s determined to get me to see it too.
I should push her away for her own good. After all, there’s a reason people don’t count on me. But somehow I still find myself asking: Could I possibly be that knight after all—even if my armor is tarnished and dented?
Deja Brew All Over Again is a small-town rom-com that’s part of a series but can also be enjoyed as a standalone steamy romance.
USA Today bestselling author Sylvie Stewart loves bad jokes, dirty rom-coms, country music, and baby skunks—preferably all at the same time.

When her laptop closes, Sylvie is a sucker for hugs from her twin boys and a good laugh with her hot-nerd hubby. If you love smart Southern gals, hot blue-collar guys, and snort-laughing with characters who feel like your best friends, Sylvie’s your gal.

Margo McAllister is mere hours from her dream. In Italy to compete for a prestigious award, the young photographer turns down a corrupt politician who offers her an insane sum to polish his reputation with a clever portrait. But her plans shatter when she’s slipped a blackout drug, awakens to $40,000 in damages to her hotel room, and is expelled from the contest.
Suddenly a beggar with no options, Margo travels to the despot’s personal estate to earn enough money to cover her debts and get her life back on track.

Portrait of Deception is the dark and gritty thriller in the Southwest Suspense Series. If you like tough females, relentless action, and hints of steam, then you’ll love Kathryn Dodson’s twisted adventure.
After reading the Whispered Surrender two books and immediately loving them I couldn’t wait to get my hands on this one. This is the second book in the Sinful Duets Series. In these two stories we follow Bryanna and Damian then Layla and Derek. In both of these stories you’ll not want to put them done, I mean like at all. The suspense and action will keep you reading non stop. You also will feel some strong emotion when reading, maybe even tear up at some parts. I know i did lol but nonetheless omg these reads are freaking awesome.I think the is brilliant writing the stories Like this and putting them In one book that way we can read them all at once 🤣🥰 I truly cannot wait for the next books.
This is a must read series!! But I definitely recommend starting with the first one of the series.

Running here after finishing the first book. I couldn’t wait to read this one, so I could see what happens with our beloved family. Ayla Marie has done it again, sucking me into this amazing world she’s built, making me read this in one day lol. The storytelling has me feeling all the emotions they felt and more. The danger, action, and crazy twist and turn she again has left me hanging on to her every word. I still love all the different POVs. and I also still love Leo lmao. Omg i can’t believe I have to wait to read the next and final book of this series. 😣

This book was my first read by this author and this book is unlike any book I have ever read to be honest but in a good way. This author built an amazing imaginative world filled with great details. This book is mostly told by Leo but part two is about his adopted brother Cael. I really enjoyed this read, it will definitely keep you on the edge of your seat, with all the action and drama you gotta love it. I also love Leo, with his determination and loyalty to his family to keep them safe. What’s not to love? I’m heading to read the second one right now!

Details, details, details. This is the first time I have heard of this incredible author, R.C. Reigh, and honestly paragraph one had me hooked. Her writing style, the number of details and everything just pull you in and lock you in the upright position for the world and adventures she is about to take you on. Told from multiple perspectives we get a full scope of the story, and every detail from different sides along the way. Prince Dane of Carpathia is a wolf shifter and through an early alliance of his kingdom to Avonlee he is betrothed to Princess Amelia. Not only do we see the story unfold from both of their perspectives, but we get several others, Cora, Kessara, and Roarke just to name a few. Each having their own parts in the plot that keep the story moving at a steady pace. Amelia enters Bastion with one goal to convince Dane to release her from their arrangement that was made while they were just babes. But what follows is no less than heart pounding twists and turns as the characters learn more than they ever expected at Bastion Academy. I cannot wait to read book two, Dragons, and continue to see how this incredible world continues to be revealed.

Good Enough — The Deadman’s Tribe Book 1: A Protector Romance / Romantic Suspense
I fall fast for books fairly often, but rarely in the first chapter and even more rare is when I happens in the first page or two. This one is a especially rare book. I fell hard and fast and my love only grew over the course of the book.
Kai dealt with exactly no garbage from anyone especially from executive producer who does everything possible to make crazy and she refuses to take the bait. She is a strong woman in a male dominated business and I think that bothered a lot of the Men in charge.
Waters is definitely the strong silent type who sees everything even when you think he doesn’t. He is a true military man and takes his mission seriously no matter what it is and even if he isn’t sure exactly what the mission is.
When I realized this was Ms. Craig’s debut I was shocked. She definitely writes like a more experienced author. I’m anxious to see how she develops as an author and the characters.
The guys in the Tribe are going to be a lot of fun to follow. I look forward to seeing all of them in the future.

Damian and Bryanna – Damian is a force to be reckoned with – a member of an elite team of bodyguards and with connections to mafia men. He is given an assignment to rescue a woman from a sex trafficking ring safely return her to her family. His capability is astounded and his reliability to complete his job is strong. However, Bryanna seems determined to fight him every step of the way – even fleeing Damian and returning to those who sold her into sex trafficking in the first place! Bryanna is keeping secrets of her own, is traumatized from her experiences, is very confused of who is good and who is bad…and is painfully attracted to Damian, who desires her like he has never desired someone this way before.
Lots of danger and drama, hot scenes and desires, and a fight for love…will Damian and Bryanna be able to come out the other side together?
Dereck and Layla Dereck is a bodyguard involved in a sex trafficking case. Being involved in this case, he meets Layla. Layla is a spicy and sassy exotic dancer who is virtually fearless and is capable of taking care of herself. She holds a secret close to her chest while on her mission. Without giving things away, there are many twists and turns in this book. They both have trouble trusting others. They both have secrets to protect. They both strive to protect others. In the midst of the sizzle from the chemistry, the danger from the traffickers Dereck is trying to bring down, the hunt Layla is on for the man who represents danger to her…will they be able to grow and open themselves to one another and see which explosive place their relationship may lead them? Will they continue to protect themselves and guard their secrets, or will they give each other the space to learn about one another and grow?
As with all previous Via Mari books I’ve read, these are such enjoyable reads. There’s heat, but it doesn’t overwhelm the story. There’s danger and drama, but it amps up passions as much as it amps up their heartbeats. There’s trauma, but it’s presented in a straightforward way that isn’t disrespectful of the indignities victims suffer. Each of the books I’ve read are fast paced and balances storylines nicely, without leaving things feeling undone. Prose is beautiful, descriptions are clear and easy to picture. The heat builds in each and the tension is palpable. As always, I’ll continue to follow Mari!

This is the perfect taste of the Series to get me hooked and excited about the whole series. Honestly why more authors don’t do this is beyond me. It was a quick read that truly got me hooked and wanting more in the best way.
Despite being short and quick the character development in this prequel was fantastic.
If you are into Bully Romances this one is for you.

Jay is the head of security for a very rich man, and made it to that position by being extremely good at his job and highly focused on safety and protection. He’s a red blooded male, so of course he spends time with beautiful women, but he’s never met one that could draw his focus – until he met Sasha. Originally, Jay met the beautiful Russian ballerina when she was warming his bosses bed. He feels drawn to her in a way he can’t explain, and finds his attention continually drawn her way, especially once his boss moves on and Sasha is still clamoring for his attention.
Sasha is an illegitimate Russian beauty who just wants to feel loved. However, no matter how many men she gives all of herself to she continues to be left behind while they find the women they want futures with. First, her (terrible) father refuses to claim her, and she has a string of men who didn’t want to keep her, either. She feels her looks and body are only good for men to want her for a short time.
Upon making contact with one another, the chemistry and attraction are palpable. Despite what her instincts tell her, she knows Jay wants her – he even calls her his “Angel” and wants to make her his own. In the midst of discovering their relationship and where it could go, many things comes to the fore. Jay is trying to locate his friend and teammate Matt, who had to go undercover to catch the bad guys and has stopped responding. Sasha calls her father as a last ditch effort and it appears he has sent men after her to solve his little problem of having a child he doesn’t wanna claim.
Will Jay and Sasha be able to protect one another in the middle of all of the danger and chaos? Will they both allow each other to let go and have the most explosive relationship they’ve ever known? Will they save Matt? Or Sasha’s sister? So many plays being made…will they be able to make it through together?
Matt and Marenah – Mentioned in book 1, Matt is on an undercover assignment and meets Marenah, Sasha’s twin sister. Like Jay, he is absolutely overwhelmed with the woman’s beauty and sure that none of her secrets are anything he would find shocking. However, Marenah is a mafia princess and there are many things she keeps close to her heart to protect herself. This story is about Matt’s past and what he has experienced as well as Marenah and what her undercover infiltration is for! Matt and Marenah spend this story circling one another and feeling each other out. Will they be able to get out alive? Will they live to celebrate their unions with Jay and Sasha?

I’m loving this series! This mystery is set in Los Angeles in the 1930s. The main character is this scrappy little orphan who has been living on the streets. It is told in the first person, from her point of view. Although she now has a safe place to sleep and regular meals, she struggles to leave behind her life on the streets. She struggles with making good choices, which is something we can all relate to.

The Uncrowned King is the second book in The Blood Prince YA fantasy series. Leo is the rightful heir to the throne but doesn’t want to be King, he just hopes to use his connection to the crown to secure a safe place for him and those he loves.
This is an exciting book full of action and intrigue. Every decision Leo and his family make is watched by those around them and could impact their safety, positively or negatively. They must choose who to trust, which rules to bend, when to insist on doing things their way.
The story gets quite dark at times, and emotional at others (and of course dark and emotional!). There were times when I had to put it down for a moment just to absorb what had happened and have a break from the intensity! But other times I couldn’t put it down because I needed to know what happened next.
The Uncrowned King gets five stars from me! I’d recommend it to fans of fantasy series with maps in the front and unconventional families with tight bonds.

This book is such a great read. It’s full of suspense, gritting, love, sex, mystery, between Kai and Waters. It kept me on the edge of my seat and I had a hard time putting the book down. I can’t wait to read the next book in the series! I highly recommend this book!!!

This series picks up really quickly and sucks you right in. Our FMC is a young business owner who has developed a bad temper in the last several months. While this temper has gotten her out of a jam or two, it is causing some tension in her other relationships. After meeting a new person her life is quickly taking a different turn that she saw for herself. I really enjoyed this series, there were a few parts that seemed to be a bit of filler and I struggled to stay engaged, but overall it was really good.
