This series just keeps getting better and better. Oh my! Phoenix and Aspen’s story just rips the heck out you. The emotions will be on a roller coaster. Phoenix starts off as a bit of a jerk but he kind of has to grow up one life throws consequences at him and Aspen. An unexpected pregnancy has them having relook at look at life. Phoenix is also having to wonder about his twin. There is a lot going on in this story. You can find mean girls, sibling drama, family issues and more. Some old faces peek into the story. The author does leave you with a cliffhanger for the next book. I am eagerly awaiting Cruel Love and what it may bring.

Fortune’s Favorite (Soulbound Journeys Book 2) by C. L. Schneider. This is not my favorite genre but I have quickly begun to love this author. This book was so fast paced and felt like I was really there. I would recommend picking up book 1 before this one to better understand the characters and story. This is the continuing journey of Ian and Jarryd and they are needing supplies. They both have different ideas about which port to enter. When they decide on Maldarehm Ian is not sold on and has very strong feelings of unease about it. Jarryd is not concerned in the least so he gets to gambling like he has no cares in the world. Ian on the other hand is searching for clues and while on this journey finds people he didn’t know existed and decides he needs to learn from them only to find them done with Ian and sending him off on his way. Will Ian find the clues he’s looking for and will Jarryd get them all in trouble with his gambling. Read this fast paced read to find out!

This is my favorite couple in The Elite series. I absolutely love the story of Aspen and Phoenix. I also absolutely hate the cliffhanger and cannot wait for the new book to be released! If you haven’t read Cruel Love don’t read this one because you will be behind. A great series to read.

I enjoyed reading this second chance romance story. This is still a new author for me which I enjoyed and look forward to seeing what is next for them. This is a well written story about life, starting over and getting a second chance at love. The problem is that the one you love has finance and will stop at nothing to keep what is hers. This is a story you don’t want to miss. A story where the characters are creative and pull you into their world with ease. They kept my attention to the end. I enjoyed watching their growth and what they brought to the story. A fast paced, hard to put down story that is easy and entertaining to read. I really enjoyed this book and I highly recommend it.
I have enjoyed reading this series from the first book. This installment is just as great if not even better than the previous books. I highly suggest that you read the previous books before this one to help you see where the characters have been and going currently. I found this book to be well written and hard to put down. A story that is a little dark and a little bit of everything in it. I enjoyed how the characters pulled me into their world with ease and kept me engaged to the end. They are relatable characters that are strong and made the story for me. I enjoyed watching their growth as well as their chemistry throughout the story. This is a fast paced story that you don’t want to miss. I highly recommend this book and this series.

This is the 5th book in the series and when I say these books just keep getting better and better. I truly mean that. Let’s start with the series, you will want to read these books in order. It will help you understand the characters and the situations that are presented in each book. Now, when I say that these books just keep getting better and better with everyone, I truly mean that. The complex characters and plot twists that are presented seem to be more and more captivating with each book. In this book, the plot has some twists and turns that I didn’t see coming and it also has deep character growth. The angst that is expressed in this book is not for the weak of heart. The situationship that is being had between he main characters is something that can be relatable to some people. The growth and development of the situation and the characters will have you turning pages almost as fast as you can because it is that good. This book was a super quick read and kept me glued to the pages. You won’t want to stop reading to do anything else until you are finished with this book. Speaking of finishing this book, there is a cliffhanger but I wasn’t mad at it. Yes, I normally hate cliffhangers but this one I feel really made the whole book. You will have emotions that you don’t know what to do with. This book will sit with you for a few days after you finish reading it and it will leave you craving more because let’s be real, you really, really want to know what happens.

Omg omg. This series is literally ripping my heart out and stealing my breath. This is the 5th book in the Hidden Valley Elite Series and you most definately need to read every book in order. Trust me you won’t regret it.
Well where to start with this book. We are back with Aspen and Phoenix. Things for this couple was never going to be easy. When a one night stand turns into Aspen falling pregnant the couple have a lot of stuff to deal with. Add to that dysfunctional families on both sides, starting a new college, Phoenix’s dreams of joining the NFL and Aspen’s dreams and goals. Neither of them wanted to add a kid into the mix but that’s what’s going to happen. The chemistry and sexual attraction between them is off the charts however Phoenix is hiding secrets which means that the sexual chemistry turns into rage and anger towards each other. How are they going to cope raising a child when everytime they are together they argue and fight. There is no denying the connection and attraction they feel for each other if only they would stop being so stubborn and just admit it. This story is full of drama and angst and conflict and OMG the cliff hanger at the end. I literally am holding my breath for the next installment of this series.

This is the first book in the McIntire County Series and wow what a start. I was gripped right from the beginning. This is a gripping Suspense read full of twists and turns that keeps you on the edge of your seat. I wasn’t able to work out the ending which to me makes a good story when you can’t tell what is coming next. The author does an amazing job with out lead character Nic. Nic was a military sniper. After leaving she is now a sheriffs deputy however things aren’t straight forward. Nic suffers really badly with PTSD as a result of her time as a military sniper and even though she has left she still suffers. It was a really eye opening look at how PTSD effects not only the person suffering but everyone around them. In this story there are several suicides which Nic needs to investigate. Were these a sad case of suicide or is something more sinister happening. Could Nic be walking into the trap of a killer? With Con O’Halon assigned to help her they need to work together to solve this even though Nic pushes back against his assistance at every turn. As Nic finds it increasingly hard to control her demons from the past will Con be strong enough to pull her back from the brink of despair? This is a story full of heartbreak and secrets and as the secrets become revealed the fight that Nic has to fight becomes harder. It is a story of a constant battle that Nic has to go through against PTSD and how hard it is for her to keep her life on track. When a killer is out there as well trying everything in his power to bring her down Nic has a lot of things to deal with. Can she allow Con in and trust him to help her or will she continue to spiral out of control.

That ending is just cruel! Love, love, love this whole series. Please read the books in order or at least read Cruel Start before this one. Phoenix and Aspen had me tangled in knots. Aspen’s character is amazing and is exactly what Phoenix needs. The angst is off-the-charts in such a good way. Just prepare yourself for the ending – ugh – how I despise cliffhangers. Now the waiting game begins for Cruel Love. Highly recommend!!

Touching multilayered story What a wonderfully touching story. From the first page, this book draws you in and holds you there right through until the end. Julie is a strong FMC and tells a very real story. The roller coaster of emotions is raw and confronting at times. The way the author draws all the threads together is commendable. Highly recommend.

This is the first book that I have read from this author and now I’m a fan. I thought this was going to be another rock romance but it was beyond that. I could now put this book down. The characters made me laugh and cry. I was hooked on the first chapter and I could not stop. It only took me a few hours to devour this amazing story.
Adrian Johnson has been in a rock band ever since he could remember. He was on top of the world and then fame to him. Adrian left the business for a while. He is now back on tour and he is having a hard time writing new songs. Adrian is in his bus and he is shocked to see a girl hiding. He is very curious as to why this girl is hiding. Adrian sends Hastings home but he later finds out she has no home. They get to know each other very well. His past was very rough it can this teen runaway help him out or will it be too hard to forget?

Enemies to lovers – another popular story reimagined and done oh so well! The passion and anger makes for an epic story. The chemistry and heat between these two characters are just as great if not better than in the first book! Another book I could not put down. The twists, turns, lies and secrets keeps you up until the sun pops up and you realize you forgot to sleep!

I threw caution to the wind and my v-card at the one man I can’t stand. What did that get me? Pregnant.
Now, we’re both screwed. Mr. Superstar wants the punt bunnies off his back. I want my parents off mine. To do that, he proposes a fake relationship. But I know the truth… Spending time with him can only lead to trouble.
After all, neither of us has an answer to the biggest problem of all.
How fake can it stay when he’s the father of the child I’m carrying?
Cruel Hate is an enemies-to-lovers, fake relationship, new adult, sports romance with pregnancy and plenty of angst. This book contains mature content that some readers may find disturbing. It is not a standalone and does end in a cliffhanger that continues with a ton of heat and a HEA in Cruel Love.

You know the story. Girl meets prince, doesn’t know he’s a prince. They fall for each other. Complications happen. Although this book can be described that way, it is so much more. Although that probably sounds boring to most people. Unless you are one of those that love those type of stories. (me) But this story is well written, fast paced, and you must keep on reading to find out what happens next. There’s drama, romance, spice and everything you want from a book like this. I couldn’t wait to read the next in this series.

As Though You Were Mine by J. Marrie Rundquist is a heartachingly good story- but in saying that, I highly recommend that you have plenty of tissues on hand before diving in- trust me, you are going to need them! Ms. Rundquist threw me into an emotional pinball machine, bouncing my emotions all over the place like crazy. This is a superb women’s fiction story packed full of emotion, love, loss, grief, unexpected responsibility, challenges, doubts, heartache, family, twists, drama, heartwarming developments, and hope, Julie Mercer never expected that donating her eggs so that her brother and his wife could start their family would change her life in a such an unexpected way only four short years later. A tragic accident leaves Julie with the responsibility of raising four-year-old twins, something she feels completely unprepared for. Through self-doubt, an adjustment period, challenges, heartache, angst, and a few curveballs we follow along for all the highs and lows…. and can’t help but connect and invest in everything along the way. This is my first read from Ms. Rundquist, but it definitely won’t be my last. Happy Reading…

The Hand of God: From Oppenheimer to Hypersonics is A Crash Course on Nuclear Weapons and Humankind’s Most Dangerous Game by Paul McCarthy. This is more than just a history lesson on the development of Nuclear weapons- it gives us an insight into the science behind the development, the types of nuclear weapons, the various delivery systems, the dangers, some of the near misses that have only just avoided complete annihilation, politics, and more. I found this to be quite informative and insightful. We all know the destruction that nuclear weapons can cause- but this really opened my eyes to something I probably should have thought more about, before reading this book. It certainly made think- especially in this day and age. Quite sobering really. Well worth the read…

Xenia Navarro and the Magic Ants is not what I expected. I have read a lot by this author and they are usually light hearted fun children’s picture books. This book was a little more intense topic and for older ages. It would be a good beginner chapter book for 5th-7th grade or so. The topics are a bit intense and the average young child wouldn’t understand. The book focuses on a mother being picked up by ICE and risking deportation for being in the country illegally. I have 3 kids and none have heard anyone talk about that before. But then again they aren’t in a Hispanic neighborhood or school. Maybe that is the point… to introduce kids to this in a controlled setting. In true fashion, the author used her amazing imagination on the ant man. Very different from Marvel character, but just as exciting. A shape shifting ant man that smells like cucumbers. I don’t know where she comes up with this stuff, but I loved the book.

Julie never wanted to be a mom but she technically became a biological mom when she donated her eggs to her brother and his wife. Sadly, Brian and Esther were killed in a car accident when their twins, Lucy and Mikey, were just four years old. Brian and Esther left guardianship of these precious souls to Aunt Julie.
Julie’s whole family questions her ability to raise these children from day 1. They offer unsolicited advice and some even go so far as to flat out tell her she has no business doing this. A knock on her door could change everything for this new little family.
Brian and Esther also used a sperm donor to create these children. Grant is the knock at the door and Julie can’t be sure of his immediate motives. Is he her to fight her for custody or is he sincere in what he says about “doing his part” with Lucy and Mikey?
I found this book a bit difficult to get into. As the story went on, it did pick up a bit but by then I was losing so much of the real story that it fell kinda flat for me. I was hoping for so much more based on the synopsis. For a good bit, it just felt like the same thing was being repeated, especially in regards to the behavior of the kids. I understand that a buildup had to occur, but this felt a little dragged out. I did appreciate the overall story, I just wish it would have picked up faster.

Ashleigh has loved their music and dreamt of the lead singer Blu in Balefire for quite some time. I think most girls have had that dream including me (Mark Slaughter was going to be my husband) as teenagers and young adults, but most know there is no chance we will ever get to meet them let alone fall in love.
I found myself getting lost in their story intertwined with memories and dreams from way too many years ago. I absolutely loved Blu and Ashleigh together. She didn’t cave to him and his ego which I think made him realize she was worth the work he had to do to get her.
I hated having to put this book down, so much so I may have dropped my kindle on my face which I hadn’t done in a while. I kept fighting sleep to get a little further into the book. I already have the next book on my TBR list and I cannot wait to get started.

Wow, what a story….captured me right from the beginning. Gutted feelings, sadness at parts, drama, anger, love, healing and the sense of family and nurturing. I highly recommend this book…it takes you on a roller coaster of emotional highs and lows.
Julie Mercer is trying to pick up the pieces after her brother and sister in law pass away due to an accident and is now the guardian of four year old twins, Mikey and Lucy. Julie never really wanted to be a mother, but life threw her a wrench and now she is figuring everything out between balancing her job and the twins, questioning herself can she do this. Lucy throwing tantrums if things are not done “right” in her eyes and Mikey not talking at all…the trauma that these children endured has been difficult. When Grant, who is Julie’s sister in laws brother, makes an unexpected visit, Julie is not sure if there is more why he suddenly shows up.
As Julie and Grant navigate the death of her brother and his sister, they find that being there for Mikey and Lucy and for each other can be something special.
This is a great story and I highly recommend this read.

Wow. Talk about gut punches galore Batman. I started reading and I immediately had to grab some tissues. Julie does a selfless thing and donates her eggs for her brother and sister-in-law, who suffer from infertility issues. Tragedy strikes and now she has custody of these two wonderful twins. But it’s not easy going as she’s trying to get through her own grief, but also has to navigate four year olds going through their own grief. She is questioning her skills as a guardian, when another wrench is thrown into the mix. When their uncle shows up offering to help, she’s leery of him. I loved reading this story. I wanted to take Julie and just hug her the entire time, and protect her from the author, and everyone in the book. But, her growth throughout the story is impeccable.

This was a great 5 star read. You get pulled in right from the beginning and you can’t wait to see what’s coming next. It was great seeing the characters from the first book. Lev and Daphne were great characters and I really enjoyed their story. The chemistry and banter between them was great. There are several twists and turns and the secret at the end, did not see that coming. This is my favorite couple so far in this series. All of the characters added a great element to the story. Once again these authors knocked it out of the park with their writing. Can’t wait for the next book. If you’re looking for a great enemies to lovers book this is it. 1-click and get started today.

This was a great 5 star read. I was excited to finally get to read this book and I wasn’t disappointed. Bridget and Fyn were great characters and they gave us a great, steamy story that I didn’t want to put down until I was done. After she discovers her fiance is cheating on her, Bridget decides to still go on her honeymoon. Where she has a hot and steamy evening with Fyn. You could feel their connection coming off the pages. Time passes and she returns to discover who he really is and she decides to stay with him. Let’s just say things get very interesting for them. We get a heck of a story with several great characters that added a great element to the story. My emotions were all over the place. The authors did a great job with their writing and I look forward to reading more from them. If you’re looking for a great read. 1-click and get started today.

This is book three of the Protector Wolf Shifter Series and I think it may have become my new favorite. I’ve truly enjoyed reading the first three titles of this series and have remained hooked from the very first page.
Book three finds Tamasca and Kodiak dealing with an insane scenario. Tamasca is determined to complete the change to a wolf shifter so she can have a new level of protection against the never ending hunt by the vampires. She is aware of the possibility of a dangerous and lethal result. Whereas, Kodiak is not a fan of anything that may end her life or put her in danger. His love and need to protect her at all cost is strong and puts them at odds due their inability to come to a compromise. As their terrible luck continues, Kodiak finds himself captured by the vile vampires, leaving Tamasca to look for new options to help her complete the change and get back her mate. Danger seems to be attracted to both of these characters, so you know going into book three you’re going to experience a lot of drama, action, politics, and suspense.
I feel as if Tamasca is a bit of a bad ass in the making. Her character also showed a lot of growth as she found herself without her mate and still extremely vulnerable. Kodiak on the hand is your typical alpha with a bit of a teddy bear underneath. Hopefully the author will expand a bit more on that in the future storyline.
If you enjoy fantasy supernatural romance reads, you will find that here and more. Please read books one and two before jumping into this one so you’ll understand the backstory and details surrounding the main characters. They truly have endured a lot and come a long way in their character growth.
I’m looking forward to book number four and so on. Enjoy reading this incredible series.

When I started this book, I had no idea this was the second book in the series. itnhad great description ls of each character, and it was very easy to learn and feel their emotions. The story was intriguing and a little unique; at times, the storyline seemed a little far-fetched. The narration did sound forced which made it hard to focus on the story but I was able to get used to it as the story progressed. Overall, if you’re looking for a cute romance, this will definitely fill that need.

I absolutely loved this book! It shouldn’t surprise me because I thoroughly enjoy this author’s work, but I was caught off guard by just how much I adored it. I like rock star romances in general, but this one felt a bit different in a refreshing way. I found myself quite invested in Ashleigh and Blu right from the get-go. Blu is naturally a ladies’ man who doesn’t have to ask twice to find company. Ashleigh is the girl next door who seems very hard-working and down to earth. I really loved that she doesn’t care how famous he is, she’s going to give him a piece of her mind. Will there be a spark between these two, or do opposites really not attract? I highly recommend picking up this book (and series) to enjoy this wonderful romantic adventure.

C. L. Schneider has delivered another amazing book in the second installment of the Spellbound Journeys series, Fortune’s Favorite. While I think it can be read as a standalone, reading it following Book 1 allows for a stronger connection with the characters and their journey. Ian Troy and Jarryd Kane return as the main characters and are just as realistic and flawed as ever. The connection between these two very contrasting individuals is heartfelt and enviable. They embark on separate journeys once docked in Maldarehm, but the ultimate test finds them joined once again. There are so many layers in this story, along with some mind-bending twists that I found it hard to stop reading. I wanted to find out what would happen next. As with all of the books I’ve read by C. L. Schneider, the vivid descriptions and imaginative writing made me feel as if I was right in the midst of the action. I am anxiously awaiting more by this author!

L. Schneider – Review by Mandy Ott
This book had me hook, line, and sinker from the first sentence. It’s a book full of healing, coping, determination, with a sprinkle of love and a huge helping of pure tenacity from the main character. Julie really did face a lot of odds in this book, and I think what I loved about it so much was how raw and real the writing felt. It’s a book with the perfect fall aesthetic, and i just know I’m going to be re-reading it again. Highly recommend!

Sing For Me (The Balefire Series Book 2) by Tam DeRudder Jackson is great contemporary romance
The groupies and superstars who typically command all of his attention are nothing like Ashleigh Baker. She spends her days making a blossoming showpiece out of her rental yard while wearing a lovely floppy hat and having her knees covered in dirt. Even though she is the most beautiful lady he has ever seen, she acts as like she doesn’t care a bit about him. But she has been the only thing on his mind since he first set eyes on her.
Every page had you hanging on every sentence and I couldn’t wait to see what would happen. It is a very unique story with even compelling people. The story really transports you into this world. I couldn’t put the book down.
