A Way Out (Rock Star Book 2)A Way Out by Tami Lund
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I enjoyed reading this romance story. I found this book to be well written and hard to put down. A story where several offers turn into something that neither character saw coming. What will fate have in store for Oz and Maria? They are really great characters and their chemistry is great to watch. They pull you into their world and keep me engaged to the end. I enjoyed watching their growth that made the story easy to read. A fast paced romance story, you don’t want to miss. It is entertaining to read and hard to put down. I really enjoyed this story and I highly recommend it.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is my first book by this author which I enjoyed reading. This is a great young adult story that is engaging to the end. A well written story where two girls find more in common than they realize. A story of friendship and the things they cannot control. These are great characters that bring inspiration to friendship. They have great growth throughout and add so much to the entertaining value of the story. This is a great young adult story that anyone would enjoy, especially young adults. I enjoyed this book and I think you will as well. I highly recommend this book.

The Hussar's Duty (The Winged Warrior #3)The Hussar’s Duty by Griffin Brady
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Like book’s one and two this is a standalone book, and the others are not needed to be read to read this book. In this book you meet Jacek and his wife Oliwia and their family. Jacek is growing restless, being involved in war for so long, he is unsure how to keep himself busy. His wife tries to curb this by sending him on errands that take him a while to do. But when war comes again, and he is asked to join, he is unsure what he will decide. Will he join his comrades, or will he say with his family? Oliwia knows that her country needs her husband, so she cooks up a plan to join him, but will that work or will it spell disaster for her family? I loved reading this historical fiction and the way that this author has written his characters. It was nice reading about another story set in this world that the author has created for us!

This is the first book in The Vine Valley series. It’s a fun quick second chance romance, with the main characters being Phoebe and Laurent. They have great chemistry together and a pact to marry when they are forty. All the characters are very well written and will keep you turning the pages. If you love a good romance book, then you’re in for a treat.

Ghosts of Alda (The Obscured Throne Trilogy Book 2)Ghosts of Alda by Russell Archey
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This second book was incredibly riveting for me. I kept reading page after page and I just couldn’t stop. In this gothic fantasy, it continues where book 1 left off, so if you haven’t read that one yet, I highly suggest going back and reading it first, or you will find yourself thoroughly confused as to what is going on. The stage is set and the characters have their places, and ready to give you their story, which the author does wonderfully. He pulls you in swiftly and forcefully and keeps you there with each word written on the page. The Fifth Magic is continually sustaining the inhabitants of Alda, but with the Black Gnarl is also growing in power, and its Obscure Throne’s Eldritch inheritors have their own plot and schemes going on as well. I can’t wait to see what happens in book 3, and the conclusion to this story!

I really enjoyed the first book from the Ground Rule series so I figured this one would have to be a great one as well. It did not disappoint. It can be read as a stand alone but I do recommend reading the first book so you know a bit of back story about some of characters. Noah has never forgotten Zara, not that she could be forgotten after their experience together. This is a super fun romantic sports story.

I had so much fun reading House of Arsceneaux by Caterina Novelliere! This is my absolute favorite genre and I cannot pass up a good Vampire romance, but what I got was so much more! Novelliere beautifully weaves in Creole and Celtic cultures in a realistic and well researched way. She also expertly connects all aspects of this book, from past to future and from vampire to fae! House of Arsceneaux is attention grabbing and addicting, Caitlin and Gage’s journey was so much fun to go on! I loved reliving their pasts! I’ve never read anything from this amazing author before but I can’t wait to read another one of her books! She absolutely nailed it in my opinion and reminded me why I want to be an author! Thank you so much Caterina Novelliere!

The Master of DemiseThe Master of Demise by Nadija Mujagic
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

This is a weird story. Not what I was expecting at all. I was looking for a psychological thriller and this just seemed to be a story of a guys life in the span of 5 weeks. It started out great but once chapter two hit I thought I was in a different story all together. This is also told in the first person and while most chapters are told by the MC a few are not and it is confusing since the chapter isn’t labeled as another character. The end arrives and all the twists and changes are told to the reader. This just seemed boring throughout and I kept wondering why I was getting this guys story especially after chapter one is so intriguing. This is a first time author for me. I give these stories a try since this genre usually entertains me. This is not a favorite but its not horrible either.

This was a very emotionally charged story. There were a lot of ups and downs in this book and I was taken on a rollercoaster of emotions. This book isn’t only about Ben’s struggle with self love and mental anguish, it is also about abuse and expectations of others. This book dives into some sensitive subjects that may trigger some people. This story flowed well and pulled me right in. There is great character growth and I had such a hard time putting this book down. This is the first book I have read by this author and I look forward to reading more.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This series is nothing but amazing. I loved the first book and wasn’t sure I’d enjoy this one as much. Boy was I wrong. Zara and Noah made an appearance in the first book and they finally have their shot to tell their story. Zara is probably one of the strongest female characters I’ve been able to stand reading. I loved her from the beginning. She is the type of girl who isn’t looking for love. She wants to get what she needs and move on. She met Noah many years ago in college and thought he didn’t remember who she was. Boy was she wrong. There was a reason why he left her standing there after the fire the way he did. He wanted nothing more than to get to know her but, everyone has some baggage / stressful things they can’t bare. When Noah and Zara finally have to be in the same room without any buffers the sparks will fly. Zara tries to push Noah away at every turn but, Noah is a lot stronger and a lot more patient then she thinks. This was such a great 5+ star read. Cannot wait to read the next book.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Stalked by the Devil by Stacey-DeAnne is available now!
⭐️⭐️⭐⭐ Book Review

Stalked by the Devil is part of the “To Kiss a Stalker” series but can easily be read as a standalone. I personally have not read any other novels written by this author and had no troubles making it through this one. Stacey-DeAnne is known to bring versatile stories full of passion, thrills, emotion, and intriguing characters to the table. You never know what you are going to get. Stalked by the Devil was nothing less. This fast paced, suspenseful love triangle was full of intensity. Just when I thought I knew who the stalker was, another twist happened and once again I found myself wrong. The story was so well written, you couldn’t figure out who to trust and who to blame. The characters were realistic. The females in the story were bold and packed a punch. Keith was arrogant and I was not a fan, but doesn’t every novel have one of those? Although this was not my typical genre, I thoroughly enjoyed this novel and would recommend it to any friend looking for a quick unpredictable thriller.

I loved Caitlin and Gage’s story—fast-paced super natural romance. Caitlin is a modern woman who sets off on a job assignment only to find herself drawn to Gage, who unbeknownst to her, is her husband from her previous life. The author did a fabulous job with her world-building. I can not wait to read more by this author.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is the second in the Ground Rule series, a lovely addition to the series. Each book can be read as a standalone as each book focuses on a different couple. Characters from the first book do pop up so I would recommend reading the first to get a clearer picture of who everyone is.

I love a good ‘enemies to lovers’ trope so I knew I’d enjoy this book. The plot was enjoyable and flowed well, as did the author’s writing style making more an easy read. Although it isn’t exactly enemies to lovers, it was still a fun story to get lost in.

I loved the characters of Zara and Noel and am so happy with the conclusion of their story.

I can’t wait to get my hands on the third book!

This is a brilliant second chance romance that has so many of the things I like in a book. I was pulled into this story really easily and found I lost the afternoon reading this book. I enjoyed the characters and their development. Their connection was obvious, even after so many years apart. I wanted to see how things would turn out for them and hoped for their happy ending.
I thought the writing style of this book was easy going and a great read. It is the kind of book you can pass an afternoon reading. As the second book in the series, it could easily be read as a standalone, however I know I will be reading them all.

This is the first book in the Ground Rule series and, for me, served as a great introduction to the author.

I enjoyed the writing style the author used, that alongside the plot flowed well and make for an easy read. The characters were lovable and well-written, their chemistry almost tangible. I really enjoyed Celia and Kyle as a couple and was rooting for them throughout.

The story was sweet, and I can see why the characters made the decisions they did out of love. I was emotionally invested in Celia and Kyle’s journey and am happy with how their story ends.

This was the first book I read by the author and I’m now a fan, I look forward to reading the rest of the series.

A Toast for Laurent is the first book in the Vine Valley series and is a Contemporary Romance/Second Chance Romance that you won’t want to put down once you start reading. This is a new author to me but I’m definitely going to be checking out what other books they have written. This is a second chance romance packed with, drama, family drama, secrets, regret and so much more. This authors style of writing and attention to detail along with fully developed characters make for a wonderful story. Phoebe and Laurent have a past that he wonders what happened to her and why she ran. Fast forward two decades and he’s finally getting his answers to many questions or does he? These two have serious chemistry and you can tell love is both sided but one of them is to scared to realize what was infront of them all those years ago and even now. Can they have their happy ending? I highly recommend reading this book to find out what happens next. I can’t wait to read more from this Author.

Acting Counsel (Kings of Screen, #3)Acting Counsel by Morgana Bevan
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the 3rd book in the Kings Of Screen series. All of these books can be read as standalone but I loved them all. The author has a amazing way of bringing the character to life. Making them relatable and real, describe emotions and feelings that the reader can relate to and giving the characters personalities which endear them to the reader and makes the reader invest in their story.
This is a romance which has got a push pull feel from the beginning. The characters chemistry jumps off the page and their flirtatious behaviour on the part of Nathan and the fight that Catrina puts up to make sure she keeps things strictly business is great entertainment.
When Nathen and Catrina met it was a one night stand. An amazing time granted but that’s all it was.
Catrina goes to work the next day ready to take on a big case of someone buying a studio only to discover that the person she’s representing is none other than the guy she thought she would never see again.
Now despite the attraction and chemistry she needs to keep things professional because failing to do so could lose her everything she has worked so hard for.

Nathan has it all, money, a good career, everything except a woman to share it with. When he realises that Catrina is his attorney he realises this is his chance to capture the one thing he’s missing. But she isn’t that easy and when she tries to keep things professional he tries even harder to make her cross the line.

Both Nathan and Catrine have things they risk losing but what if losing the things they have could mean they gain something much more. Will they be prepared to take the risks to find happiness? Can they keep their attraction and history a secret?

I loved this story and the importance of not only helping others but also taking time to help yourself in self-care and I believe young and old can learn and enjoy this story and also learn an important, valuable lesson.

What a great book and beautiful illustrations to go along with the story.

A business arrangement with an unorthodox payment was a great plot! Ethan starts out bent on revenge and his plan includes Siena. This book kept me up until 4:30 am so yeah, it is definitely engaging. Several things I loved but here are a few – how two characters saw Ethan’s character completely different, how the author kept us in suspense, and the way our hero started feeling about Siena. It was eye opening, exciting, and well-written. Looking forward to more from this author!

Lap Baby by Amy Q Barker – Review by Jessie Hopkins

I was very invested in the book from the start because it draws you in immediately. I also felt connected since I am personally familiar with the area in which Paige lives. I smiled with how accurate the description of Paige’s hometown and job and past times and how they resonated with me also growing up in a small town.

This book has some amazing lessons and really shows the ways different individuals deal with trauma and showed the separate perspectives and struggles after the plane crash.
It is a nice reminder that what you believe is important may not hold the same value to someone else and that people process things uniquely. Grief and loss from different ages and points of view is both heart breaking and thought provoking.
How life does (or doesn’t) move on after loss is a real thing that should be discussed more openly.
There is no one-size-fits-all reaction to trauma or loss.

I began this series in book two and was lost, so to really enjoy and understand I had to leave this book and start with the first. I am so glad I did because this is one of my new favorite series and will give all of Russel Archey’s works a chance, hoping he dazzles me like he did with this series.
It began in book one with a tear in the sky that allowed a much darker world to leak into Alda. Book two is a continuation of the chronicling of the dying world told from all different characters. There is so much dread and adventure in this series that you can’t shake it from your mind just because it is finished. I only wish I had book three out because I keep reliving my favorite tales and impatiently waiting for more.
This is one of my new favorite authors in my already favorite genre – a rare find!

Nadija Mujagic, you are my favorite in this type of Psychology game mixed in with Thrills and mystery. I love it from the beginning to the end. Love how Mitch thought that he can control his past and buried his memories down but there is a trigger that will bring forth who one can be.
The author had me at first but then there was to think about, like my study in psychology, there is more than one point of view in every thought of a killer never estimate who the victim or the killer can be.
