A new and refreshing story telling of a series of tales. The different stories tell you about the magic within the life of the characters; some make you feel intense desperation and angst, while others make your heartbeat a little bit faster and stronger. A unique and fantastic way to read, this book makes you feel like a child again, in bed waiting for your moms voice to relate a good night’s book.

Love Bites More is part of The Darkness and Light Duology, and the Love Bites World. Although it is part of a series it can easily be read as a standalone. It is a M/M/M Paranormal romance story about fated mates that centers around the characters of Arwyn, Elan, and Hassan. Elan and Arwyn have been friends for a lifetime but have never taken their attraction for one another to the next level. Not until Hassan enters the picture and becomes attracted to Elan. Before long the passion and chemistry between the three men becomes undeniable and they are in a sizzling hot, threesome. This book was well written, had wonderful characters, and was entertaining. I loved that the author did not feel the need to hold back with the cuss words throughout which added an extra element to the book for me. This book had sizzling hot chemistry, passion, friends to lovers, fantasy, romance, paranormal, adventure, action, and magic.

Emma is back with another edge-of-your-seat, intelligent mystery. This time, she is offered a trip to Paris, no charge; however, something seems suspicious to her. Set during the Paris Exposition of 1889, the French landscape comes alive, as well as marvelous inventions of the time. As with all the Notebook Mysteries installments, I am pleased with where this story took me. It is a well-researched, intricate series that will whisk you away to Emma’s world, as if you are trying to solve the mysteries right along with her. Emma remains one of my favorite heroines and this author has become one of my favorite authors of historical fiction. This sixth book in the series can be read as a stand-alone, but I highly recommend checking out the entire series. I will be eagerly anticipating more installments!

Mann – Review by Tausha Treadway
I love it when authors do prequels to their next full story – it’s a great introduction to the characters and for me gives me a deeper understanding of them and also makes you want to read their full story because you need to know what is going to happen and I am so excited to read Aspen and Phoenix’s full story. This was a brilliant read and having met Phoenix in previous books I was already highly anticipating his story and this taster has made me want it even more. I really loved meeting Aspen in this book, she is a nice character who is dealing with lots of stuff at home. I thought her and Phoenix had this genuine connection and I am looking forward to seeing how this relationship develops over the next two books!
Goldilocks and the Six Simple Machines is a fun remake of a classic story! It is a great way to introduce the science of simple machines to younger children or even in a middle school classroom. It would be a great introduction to the unit. It really is a fun story with a more responsible Goldilocks! Kids are drawn in by the fun pictures and finding ways to solve the problems encountered.

This book brought forth a range of emotions, some were not so pleasant. I believe this author has a great deal of writing potential as she grows her following. The storyline deals with dark subjects that can be very sensitive to readers but I feel it is respectfully written. The Finding has it’s fair share of twists and turns as the main character’s reunite years after Victoria’s stepdad sold her to a cartel. All in all, the plot was great.

M. Porto – Review by Elisha Johnson
Oh man, the drama! This book is about Phoenix and I’m so excited about it. This is a short prequel but my goodness SO much happened and it’s blowing my mind lol. I can’t wait for the next book to know what happens with everything! Highly encourage you to read the other books before this one! Because they’re all so damn good! I can’t get enough of them.
This is the first book in the Discoveries of Julia Xero series which was a great start to a potentially amazing series. I thought the premise of this book was interesting and that’s what initially drew me in. The world-building was great and the character’s job, was very interesting to see incorporated into the book. I enjoyed the characters, even the ones I couldn’t stand (because of their personalities/actions, not because they were written poorly because they weren’t), they fit the story well.
I look forward to reading book 2 and finding out what happens next.

Love Is What It Is by Marina Hanna. This is a fun holiday romance. Its the story of Toni who is currently seeing Clive. Clive is ok but Toni is not convinced he’s the one. When they decide to go on a vacation together she is thinking it will be ok. Good food, great sex and fun together couldn’t be that bad.

Toni meet Mickey(the eye locker) and they have a steamy fun time. Clive ends up showing up at the new Hotel and he and Mickey talk and Clive leaves.

Will they just say goodbye at the end of the vacation or will Toni make Mickey see they can make it work?

This is the first book in the The Discoveries of Julia Xero series. This was a really interesting read. I loved the twists and turns and the mixture of mystery and magic. The author does a great job of writing a story that is unique and that twists and turns so you never know what is coming and what to expect. I couldn’t put it down. I loved Julia’s character. She has had a hard life being brought up in the care system until she was deemed old enough to be on her own, and after losing the friend she considered her own family she is fighting to carry on. Now she is a dead end job that she hates and wants a change so she applies for a job cleaning up crime scenes. Julia is surprised when she gets offered the job but she soon becomes aware that isn’t not just a straight forward job. As secrets start to be revealed and non human creatures start to emerge Julia starts to have her eyes open to alien beings when her employers show their true colours and have a unique way of insuring Julia’s silence and co-operation. All through the story you can feel Julia’s struggle as she tries desperately to survive in a role that becomes more dangerous than she originally thought. What happens when her ideal job turns into a job that could take her life? Can she survive the assassin that is on the lose? With Mysteries to uncover, secrets to be revealed and dangers that come from a unknown source this is one book that is sure to grip you. I can’t wait to see what the author has in store for the next book in the series.

This is the 2nd book in the Commissario Scala Mystery in Rome series. I haven’t read the first book but was still able to follow the story and main character without detriment however I will be going back to read to first as I feel I’d have a better understanding of Detective Scala.
The author’s writing was descriptive and clear, painting a clear picture of the scenes and characters throughout and I enjoyed the storyline, trying to solve the mystery alongside Scala.
Scala seems to be a reliable and determined detective and with high stakes building the suspense, this is the kind of detective you need on the case. He’s also a father who loves his daughter and this adds another layer to his character that helps to make him relatable.
I’ll be going back to read the first, but I also look forward to reading the rest of the series.

Mann – Review by Rebeca Elliott Figueiras
This is the second book in this series. They can be read as a standalone but I highly suggest reading the previous book as it is just as great as this one. It will help your enhancement of Detective Scala’s character as well. Scala is back in another suspenseful mystery with the same determination we have seen before. I enjoy his character and what he brings to the story. He is connectable, supportive and has a determination like no other. He pulls you into his world with ease and keeps you there until the end. I enjoyed watching the growth of this story which made it hard to put down. This is a great story and I look forward to seeing it next for Scala. I highly recommend this book.

This is an author that I never hesitate to pick up. I have enjoyed this author’s writing style and how they bring the story to life with details. I found this book to be well written and hard to put down. A story that is engaging, creative that has adventure and romance together. A story about an oath that was made long ago, friendships, and destiny that can change relationships forever. This is a fast paced story that you don’t want to miss. It can be read as a stand alone but I highly suggest reading previous books by this author. It will help your enhancement with the characters as well as this author. There is great growth and chemistry with these characters which made the story easy to read and entertaining. I enjoyed reading this story and I highly recommend it.

My second Inspector Scala book, and I enjoyed it. The plot was a little easy to figure out (I read a lot of mysteries) but the book was still very interesting due to the consistent antics of the main character- from the love of his daughter to the love of his sandwiches to his love of work.
The best part of the mystery was the poetry left by the killer that helped the Commissario solve the mystery, as well as his daughter helping catch the culprit. The beautiful setting descriptions and day in the life of a police officer continues in this book of the series. I can’t wait to read another one.

Mann – Review by Jennifer Crain
Scala is one detective that I would want on my case if I needed one. He’s trying to protect his family from a possible psycho but seems to be losing it a little. Romizi is just trying to help him but ends up with a few mishaps like a pop in the nose but as friends, he forgives him. He understands. I find these books so interesting because Scala is a no-nonsense cop good at the dettails. He lets a little slip in this one because its his family and that affects him.Like a dog with a bone, he is relentless and he won’t let this go, he will figure out who’s trying to hurt his family and who’s killing the others. I love how the author just leads into the next books at the end. Such great writing and wonderful characters. Even with the story based in Italy, it is still easy to understand for us here in the US. A must for mystery lovers.

I found this book to be entertaining. Ending up at a crime cleaning service which isn’t quite what it says it is. Learning that not everything is as it is is kind of the lesson of the book. For the first in the series, I find the author set up the book in a perfect way. I was drawn in by the characters right from the start. I am a fan of urban fantasy. This is one of my favorite genres becasue it can go in a few different ways. The story is quite fascinating. I can’twait for the next book to come out.

If you are following along, you will know that this book is a prequel and a CRUEL START to the story of Phoenix and Aspen! It is also part of the Hidden Valley Elite, which started following this group of people when they were in high school. Several have now moved onto college but their situations, drama and angst have followed them there.
These two characters have lived in the shadows of their siblings and even their neglectful parents. Phoenix and Aspen are risk takers and care little about the damage they may cause to themselves. However, a little surprise addition begins to change things, but we really don’t know just how much as this story does end on a cliffhanger!
Looking forward to more of their story in Cruel Hate.
5 Stars Sliding into Home (Playing for Keeps Book 3) by Lauren Fraser
Sliding into Home is the third book in the Playing for Keeps Series. This is a Sports Romance that once I started reading I couldn’t put it down till I finished. Although this can be read as a standalone I do suggest reading this series in order as some of characters crossover plus they are just as good as this one. This is Kia and Jeff’s story, he’s a professional baseball player and he lives and breathes the game. She is a single mom who is a tattoo artist barely scrapping by. Things are going ok until she comes face to face with her one night stand from several years back. These two have attraction and there is definitely chemistry between them. Kia has a secret that is fixing to change Jeff’s life . I highly recommend reading this book to find out what happens next. I look forward to reading more from this Author.

Strong characters and intriguing plot This is book 3 of the Astoria Royals series and it packed a punch. There is so much to enjoy – from drama, steam and romance to forced marriages, politics, high stakes danger and possessive alpha males. I really need to go back and read books 1 & 2 now. Really well written and highly recommend.

This was the first book I’ve read by Bella Faust, and I must say that I am going to be looking up other books that she’s written! This is by far the best psychological thriller that I’ve ever read! I could not put this book down from the moment I started reading it I was intrigued by the back story of our main characters, Lily and Venom, and what had happened with Alex, because it was horrendous. The characters are created so realistically that they sound like my relatives, a bunch of bikers who look out for one another, it’s the family code. I must say, this book is not for the faint of heart or anyone who may suffer from triggers due to sexual, physical, or psychological assault, if you fall into any of these categories, the author does warn you to be aware before reading. The twists and turns that this book made had my head spinning, I must say expect the unexpected because anything goes when you have a war of at least two separate gangs, add in young love and you are in for some real trouble…we all make mistakes, but are Lily’s ever going to be repaired, or will they cost her the life of those she loves as well as her own? This story is truly a work of art, that is so mind-blowing, and so realistic, beware you will get attached and pick a side fairly quickly, but watch out, there are so many secrets being kept, and plans being made behind the backs of those you thought you could trust. Once you pick up this book, you are going to be craving more, luckily, I heard there’s a pre-qual that you can only get from the author, as well as a part 2 that you won’t want to miss! As for me, Bella Faust is joining my favorite author’s list, I intend on following her so I don’t miss out on any new books coming out. @Brandy Rymer 07/2023

Dark, love triangle with warnings What a brilliantly executed book. This has everything from psychological thriller aspects (including a psychopathic character) to an enduring love and romance. I didn’t realise there was a prequel, which I am going to have to rectify immediately. This is book 1 in the Duplicity Trilogy and with the way this finished I am hoping that book 2 is not too far away. With well developed characters and an intense and engaging narrative this book draws out all the emotions. Highly Recommend. *Trigger warnings for real**

3.5 stars Short cozy mystery This entertaining quick read was engaging as it was quirky. With fun characters, interesting plot and intriguing mystery it was a brilliant way to spend a lazy afternoon. The humour has a sharp edge at times, which I appreciated and also adds that extra layer. Recommend.

Sleeping With the Enemy is the third book in the Astoria Royals Series by Deborah Garland. This story is every bit as wonderful as I had expected from Ms. Garland, as she certainly knows how to weave a riveting story. It is a gripping contemporary Mafia romance with a second chances element, forced marriage, action, violence, chemistry, steam, danger, drama, tension, mafia politics, intensity, emotion, and suspense. Also keep in mind that there are sensitive subject matters contained in the story (abuse, sexual assault etc) so if you have triggers make sure to read the TW before diving in. OMG- I can’t believe that this is the third book in a series, and I have only just discovered it and am yet to read the other two books. I have read and adored many of Ms. Garland’s previous books, so I will definitely be going back to devour the other two books asap before continuing the rest of the series. The story certainly starts off on a very intriguing note that hooked me right from the outset. I was soon engrossed in all the developments, glued to the pages as I followed along to see how everything would play out in the end. I have always said that one of the things that Ms. Garland does really well is that she’s able to get her reader to completely invest in her characters and their story, whilst also crafting her story with palpable tension, as well as plenty of emotion.. I can’t wait to explore the rest of the series now. Highly recommend this gripping story, especially if you love a great Mafia romance. Happy reading…

Tempting Fate is the first Book in the Black Shamrocks MC: Australia series by Bella Faust. OMG- this series!!! It’s quite edgy, raw, dark, intense, and twisted! I seriously recommend reading ‘Craving Control’ first before starting on this book, as “Craving Control’ is a prequel to this book/series and sets the groundwork and lays out the backstory that sets everything here in motion. I won’t go into the story here, as I really don’t want to give anything away that will spoil it for you. But I will say that there are a lot of potential triggers in this book/series, things do get quite dark at times- and the story/series isn’t for the faint of heart, that’s for sure… so if you are looking for a light-hearted read, hearts and flowers, have triggers, or don’t like having your emotions toyed with- then this probably isn’t the book for you. For everyone else, strap yourself in because you’re in for a bit of a wild ride as Ms. Faust takes a dark turn, with shocking details that will strips you bare, then toy with your emotions, unbalance you, and twist your mind- all with an evil grin on her face and a sinister cackle echoing around her as she unleashes the tsunami of angst that’s brewing for her readers. Ms. Faust certainly proves her writing prowess with this dark tale. Bring on Book #2!!! Addictive Reading…

Flowers of Evil is the first book in the Hani’s Daughter Mysteries series by N.L Holmes. It is an intriguing new series which is a direct spin-off from The Lord Hani Mystery series that I love, so it was a given that I would be diving into this as soon as it hit my Kindle. It is a cozy historical mystery, set in ancient Egypt- with plenty of vivid detailing and descriptions which brought everything to life. There is a definite ‘crime and investigation’ aspect to the story, a bit of a murder mystery that has all the ingredients that kept me avidly reading to find out whodunnit. As I have come to expect from Ms. Holmes, the story is woven with wonderfully rich historical details, texture, depth, interesting characters, intrigue, suspense, dramatic developments, and emotion—- which made for an engrossing read. This first instalment certainly sets this new series off to a really great start, and if it is anything to go by, Hani has some stiff competition. Looking forward to seeing what adventures await in the next instalment… Happy Reading…

TW; abuse mental and physical, rape, abduction, etc
HIGHLY RECOMMEND !! This book keeps you intrigued and highly motivated to finish. Cheering on cherub to overcome her battles the 2nd book ends on a cliff hanger that has me HOOKED. I cannot wait for the third book to arrive. I am prepared to find out what happens to venom, cherub and slash. Will it in polyamorous relationship? Will it stay monogamous.
Cherub has been apart of the gang since before she was born raised around the club she lives breathes and emulates SHAMROCK. But what happens when her life has been twisting into an evil journey. Will the shamrocks protect her?! Who’s behind all of this treachery.

Definitely a good read! A perfectly Told tale that twists pasts with the future; unfolding perfectly. The plot is moderately paced with a good burn.
He was the love of her life and she was the one that got away. Forced together in the most auspicious of times a wrench is thrown in when it’s revealed she’s an agent for the FBI and he’s running the family MOB.
Steamy scenes, hilarity, mystery and intrigue. This is a quick jaunt in the park that leaves you excited for more.
