4.5 Stars

 

Walk Off is the first book in the Ground Rule Series by Bree Kraemer. Gah!! I love Bree Kraemer’s stories so much!! She always manages to pack so much heart, soul, and emotion into her book-s and her characters are just sublime.
This second chance contemporary romance pulled me in right from the beginning and had me completely invested in the characters and their story. I couldn’t put it down and devoured it all in one sitting.
A wedding is the last place Kyle expected to see Celia. Even after eight years, everything comes rushing back. What happens when secrets are revealed?
With plenty of sizzle, secrets, lies, heartache, pain, unresolved emotions, drama, angst, chemistry, forgiveness, and hope- Kyle and Celia’s story had me burning the midnight oil so I wouldn’t go to sleep without knowing how things played out in the end.
Can’t wait to continue this fantastic new series!
Happy reading.

Thank you, Bree Kraemer!

Someone to Watch Over Me (Wounded Hearts Series Book #3) by Debbie Cromack – Review by Angela Hayes

Someone to Watch Over Me (Wounded Hearts, #3)Someone to Watch Over Me by Debbie Cromack
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

 

4.5 Stars

 

Someone to Watch Over Me is the third book in the Wounded Hearts series by Debbie Cromack. I have to be honest here, this book was a bit of a bitter-sweet read for me knowing that this was the last book in the series, but also needing more of Ms. Cromack’s slow-burn, angsty, and emotional deliciousness that I have become addicted to.
Before diving into this story, I highly suggest reading the previous two books before starting on this one, as not only are they fantastic books in their own right, but I discovered that there is a lovely connection between the first two books and this third instalment.
As expected, this is such a wonderfully angsty and emotional read that tugged on my heartstrings in a major way. Ms. Cromack simmers her plot so beautifully, cooking up a slow burning, but sexy read. She doesn’t shy away from some tougher topics, which adds to the emotional punch of her story.
Angelo and Lucia have been the best of friends since childhood so there is already love and connection between them, but they’d never crossed the ‘friendship’ line. But fate might just have a different plan in mind- throwing these two out of their comfort zone. What happens made for an entirely memorable read. Finding out that Angelo is Nicco and Destiny’s son (from Someone Exactly Like Me- Book #1) and Lucia is Candi and Enzo’s daughter (from Kiss Away Your Pain Book #2) was like getting extra icing on the cake for me.
I was so excited to see that Ms. Cromack has a new series in the works- and I am itching to get my hands on her Broken Billionaire series! Bring on Book One- I can’t wait!!!
Happy Reading!

Thank you, Debbie Cromack!

People Safari by Feather Chelle – Review by Elizabeth Sanchez

PROOF: People SafariPROOF: People Safari by Feather Chelle
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

People Safari was an adorable book, for all ages. It is geared toward little kids, but I think older would enjoy as well. The characters are cute (I love that they used a deer family with names Doe, Buck and Fawn) and the pictures are colorful and fun. This story is told in the perspective of animals, visiting and describing the human world. There is a lot of cute descriptions, that I would never have thought of. For example, how they think kids getting on a school bus is a monster eating the littlest of humans. It reminded me of movies like Over the Hedge and Open Season- where it is focused on a reverse perspective. Makes you re-think and giggle about the silly things us humans do. My 7 year old was laughing a couple times, saying it was the ANIMALS who were silly for not understanding. He loved it, thanks for a fun book!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Twisted Bond was alright. I would give it a 3.5 out of 5. I really liked the concept that brought the story to life. I felt there could’ve been more substance to the story though. Time jumped quite a bit. Not like drastic time jumps, but ones where there could’ve been substance that would’ve added to the story itself.
Bond by fate, enemies by greed. The greed being of power vs money. Prince Titan and Rose are worlds apart yet together as one. His kingdom thrives off the drained power of her people. Which should make her hate him. But she doesn’t. She’s pulled to the prince in ways she can’t explain.
Will it get in the way of her completing her task?
Will she find the moonstone and free her people?
All the answers are within the pages. Be patient with the author though. Where I saw things as frustrating while reading you may enjoy. The story concept is definitely good, I personally just wanted more out of it.

Truly Unfortunate (Welcome to Knollville Book 1) by C.A. King – Review by Ayla Phipps

Truly Unfortunate (Welcome To Knollville #1)Truly Unfortunate by C.A. King
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

“Accidents”. While this is not the first book, I have read by the amazing C.A. King it is the first book of this kind, previously read Grave Digger Academy books one and two. The mystery that seeps off the pages fills you up until you can’t take it, reading as quickly as you can to discover the next twist and how it will all end. Told mostly from the perspectives of Truly and Jeff the mystery that is fortune telling is a dangerous one to follow, especially in Knollville.
Truly is currently twenty-four years old and working three jobs to afford the psychiatrist that is trying to help her recover her memories from age nine. Jeff also twenty-four years old is a detective in Knollville, and according to his partner Miranda they get all the weird calls because of his crazy ideas. Only one day the crazy call ends up triggering a memory, which gets stranger when it happens a second time in as many days. Two men on their phones walk into oncoming traffic and killed, both after getting a “fortune” that told of their demise. Jeff thinking back to when he was nine years old remembers an identical “accident” of the class bully Priscilla. Her favorite target was Truly. Knowing she is involved he gets his partner on his side and the captain agrees to get them a meeting with the detective from fifteen years ago that covered Priscillas case and the case of Truly’s mother and her boyfriends’ death. All three separate events but all three tied to Truly when she was only nine years old. Docter Stevenson (her psychiatrist) and Doctor Sven (hypnosis specialist) begin a hypnosis study on Truly for a book. The memories they are trying to uncover are from the time frame of the accidents when she was a little girl. Damionion, a magician that Truly states meeting when she was nine told her that he would handle all her troubles all she had to do was read their fortune. Several years later and she is hearing and seeing him again.
Is Truly really handing out her enemies’ demises or is she another victim of Damionion? Can Jeff solve the “murders” with his job intact? Who is Damionion and is he a real person? One of my favorite things about this author is their attention to detail even down to the more unappealing things such as the yellow sweat stains on Bernard’s shirt. She makes sure you get an entire picture, one that you can nearly smell sometimes. I can’t wait to the next book in the series, Serendipity’s Debt and see where Jeff’s career goes next when his gut tells him something is wrong in Knollville.

Obedience (Ties That Bind Book 1) by Liza Snow – Review by Robin Rankin

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Obedience: A Dark Student Teacher Romantic Suspense (Ties That Bind Book 1)

Chandler and Cassandra have a very interesting and complicated relationship. They are teacher/student and both aerialists. But there is intense attraction and a little bit of self loathing and a lot of hot and cold feelings from Chandler. That frustrated me some especially since neither one of them is a young adult in their late teens or early twenties.

I found myself getting very caught up in the second shibari scene and also never thought about how erotic aerial artistry could be until now.

Cassandra has an amazing friend in Alex, everyone needs an Alex in their life. She also finds Henry and Dana along the way.

Chandler is a mess, he has too many demons he is dealing with and gets stuck in his head way too often, though I understand how easy that can be at times.

As frustrated as I would get at times I did enjoy the book and definitely found myself getting lost in the pages. The description of the ropes work was enthralling and I definitely want more.

Looking forward to reading the next book by Ms. Snow and hopefully get a happy ending.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Toby Dorr has written such a raw, real, emotional, and inspirational piece of art. She has admitted and shown that in life, decisions and choices that we make, have consequences. Yet because of one bad choice, there can come good. She tells a story most heard, but never from the inside. This is an incredible story that was a page turner and attention grabber from the beginning. Self growth and healing are possible.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I was intrigued by the cover and description of this audiobook and decided to dive in… and my goodness …. this story was raw and emotional….and I was rooting for Talks Like Thunder all the way. This is the first book in the series and I will definitely be checking out the rest of the books and I am intrigued where the story goes from here.

Talks Like Thunder loses her parents at an early age and she is taken by her grandfather so he may protect her. She learns quickly how to be a warrior… but constantly thrown in different paths but tries to find a way to fight and protect her people.

This story was so good, drama and heartbreaking moments… but I love Talks Like Thunder and her focus and determination to help her people when they need her most.

And here I thought I’d never hear the inner thoughts of Ian Troy again!
This Novella was a perfect addition to the series… there is enough detail where it could stand alone without the series but I do feel I had a better understanding of the characters having read the other books.
Peace has been achieved. Ian and his magic are no longer needed….or is it?
Ian and Jarryd head to the wandering isles thinking they’d be deserted but come to find that is definitely not the case and what they will have to endure is so much more than they knew.
Another well crafted tale by this author who continues to impress.

Travis wants to be famous for his music, while at a concert he meets a woman (Ella) who will change his life. Ella’s brother is a famous musician and writes her own music as well. When Travis is invited to tour with Ella and her brother things change for Travis. I was pulled right in from the author’s writing. My emotions were all over the place. You get so much in this story, I was done before I knew it. I do suggest reading from book 1, but you can read as a stand alone. I look forward to reading more from this series and author. 1-click and get started today.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Fireflies by A.R Hadley is a Steamy and Engrossing M/M/F Poly Romance. This book is very much an insight into a lifestyle that many do not see on a regular basis. This unconventional coupling has all the grit, drama, and sexiness. Dane and Mike are two Bi Men that have been in an open relationship for 7 years. They had previously had a Woman in their relationship but she left and broke their hearts. After that they had not really had a woman in the mix. But Dane wants to get that back as they want to start a family with someone, they are serious with. This story is all about them learning more about each other while trying to find someone. Little did they know that two women would enter their lives and change it forever. This book definitely has some darker elements and is pretty spicy. 4 out of 5 Stars.

This author is new to me and when I read the snyposis and saw the beautiful cover, I decided to dive into this MMF Poly story. Overall I enjoyed this spicy story with definite ups and downs between Mike and Dane as they navigate bringing in a woman to their relationship, both wanting “more” as in family and a true relationship beyond. The overall of two women though….would be interesting. As Mike and Dane figure out what is best for their future, will they make the right decision between Vanessa or Vy or even both?

This story is a bit of a roller coaster of emotions between all characters, spicy scenes, love and definite fireflies. Enjoyable story, but I was not a fan of Vy’s character at all…..the back and forth really got to me and her indecisiveness.

/0 Comments/in /by

Talks Like Thunder is the first Novella in the Red With Native Blood series. This is a wonderfully written story of Dessert Flower and her journey to become Talks like Thunder. The first word that comes to mind is Beautiful, even though there is a lot of sadness in this story that will bring tears to your eyes in many parts, it is sadly the realistic truth of the of what happened to the native people. Being native myself I felt this book was written so well and truthful in so many ways, with great detail to the ways of the people, and all things that are important to us. I highly recommend this book. I can’t wait for the next. The narrator Aubriana Harshfield did an amazing job.

It’s very well-written and captivating. I’m beginning to enjoy historical fiction and this book just proves that I must dive more into this genre. It’s very entertaining and has tons of action.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

What an interesting read!!! I am pretty sure I either watched the Lifetime movie “Jailbreak Lovers” or saw a featured story on Dateline as this did sound familiar to me.

In this memoir, Toby Dorr tells of her life as the “Dog Lady”…her volunteer program at the Lansing Correctional Center running an inmate dog training program. She meets many inmates but one really captured her attention. His name is John Manard and he escaped prison with Toby’s help. They spent 12 days out on the run before they were found and arrested. Toby became an overnight celebrity and had to learn to deal with the media through her various court appearances. She did a couple of years in prison for her antics and in this book, she tells about her time on the inside.

It was very enlightening to read about life on the inside of prison and even more so, how difficult it is to live outside of prison after being there awhile. Toby went through some very challenging times while incarcerated and lost of lot of family along the way for her decisions. This book is very difficult to read in terms of things that were experienced, both by Toby and by people she met along the way. It is also inspiring to see how she turned things around in some of the deepest, darkest moments of her life.

Editors kill fee by GG Collins is a great mystery It has a unique story.

Editor Kill Fee’s first chapter triggered those emotions and recollections. You get the impression that you are there after reading the descriptions of the Pecos Triangle and the Santa Fe region. Outstanding research. I gained a lot more knowledge about the stunning and occasionally risky region. A poor turn is made by the president of the Santa Fe Wine and Crime book group. She is horrified to discover that she is on one of the region’s worst routes. Nobody knows what happened to her and she misses her rendezvous.

Every page was exciting and I couldn’t wait to see what would happen. It is a very unique story with even thrilling characters. The story really transports you into their world. I couldn’t put the book down

While this book may not have been for me, it wasn’t a bad book. I didn’t care for the way the characters treated each other. It didn’t sit well with me and it was really hard for me to finish this book. The story was well written. The characters all have their own issues and personalities. The author works hard and does a great job at building a world for them. Dane and Mikes dynamic made it really hard for me to read. I will admit this is only the 2nd book I’ve read involving the poly lifestyle, but I didn’t find the other one portraying the relationships as toxic… I’m not sure if this is just something that was between Dane and Mike. It didn’t sit well with me and took me away from the story.

The Boys of Alpha Block by Nancy Nau Sullivan
4 Stars

Alpha Block is a boys correctional facility. The boys are in for misdemeanours, murder and everything in between. Life is not easy and being caged in is even worse. The boys are planning to escape and everyone has a roll to play. Caroline McBride teaches them and truly believes in the rehabilitation of these youths. Her intuition is telling her that something is brewing but she can’t figure out what. She believes in these boys and wants to help them choose a better way of life. Unfortunately she keeps getting railroaded by the deputies. There are rules for a reason.

This book was really stepping out of the box for me. It was not my usual genre but it sounded interesting so I took a chance. The story was well written. I’m not sure how I feel about it though. It made me sad. I felt bad for the boys and the lives that they lived. The way the deputies treated them got me angry. One thing that I did struggle with (I know it sounds silly) was the font size. It was so small that I got annoyed reading the book. It’s probably just me being crazy so don’t let it deter you from reading this story.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

In the present day, Truly has no memories of her childhood. She starts undergoing treatment to try to recover those memories all while life around her keeps getting worse and worse. She’s working 3 jobs and she still is having trouble making ends meet. When her psychiatrist suggests working with another doctor who specializes in hypnosis and zero cost, she jumps on it. Weird visions start happening to her and Truly isn’t sure if she is going crazy or if they are memories.

Meanwhile people who have been making Trulys life harder are victims of unfortunate accidents. Jeff, the detective for the recent victims, thinks there is more to it than accidents but he can’t figure out how. He witnessed a young girl in his class die from a similar ‘accident’ and he thinks that it’s the same killer from back then. The only question is how are these accidents going to be proved otherwise?

I honestly love this author. Their writing style is so unique and this is another masterpiece. I was hooked as soon as I started reading it. The premise was dark and mysterious but also thrilling. You can’t help but feel sorry for Truly since nothing seems to go her way. The author wrote Truly very well. I could see everything vividly. The plot itself is so different from anything I have read and I was truly (haha) surprised with the plot twist near the end.

Someone to Watch Over Me is the third book and another fantastic read in this wonderful Wounded Hearts series. Make sure to read the books in order. I mean you don’t have to, but I recommend it. This beautiful best friends to lovers contemporary romance tale will have you believing in the song of true love. I have loved all the books, but this is my favourite so far.
Debbie’s beautiful characters are realistic with flaws, are emotionally raw and so easy to fall in love with and to become invested in their story.
This angsty emotional slow burn story has heartache and heartbreak. You may want to have the tissues nearby because you may become teary eyed. BUT don’t worry because there is also humour.
She is trying to move on from a bad decision and needs the one person she didn’t listen to.
I look forward to more of this compelling series.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The Passion of 3 is the intriguing second book in The Perfect Number series and is an erotic romance MMF tale. This is a spin-off from The Rule of 3 and is spicy second-chance story. You don’t have to read them in order as they are standalone stories, but I would read them in order anyway. You never know what you are missing out on if you don’t.
They were once rock stars, best friends, lovers, confidants and their everything. That was until a misunderstanding tore them apart. Now after a decade they have a chance to put it right. Have they matured enough to leave the past behind and once again come together to build what they always hoped they could be?
The Passion of 3 an interesting read and has great characters. There are sizzling connections as well as the passion that the Ariella brought to create a vivid and lively atmosphere of a horse race at the Kentucky Derby.
With pain and sorrow, fear and worry, hope and want, love and lust, as well as kidnapping and a bit of suspense and mystery. There is also a surprise at the end of the story.
All in all, The Passion of 3 is a good read so make sure you check it out.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I love historical fiction, and this one did not disappoint. This book is part of a series, but it works well as a standalone. I have not read the others in the series and had no problem reading this one alone. The main character, Helen, is impetuous and runs away to marry Rory O’Neill. She doesn’t realize that she will be leaving behind luxury, plentiful food, and even regular bathing. Helen works hard to make a home for her, Rory, and later their little girl, Maeve. When Rory is unexpectedly killed, Helen must leave behind the home she has made, but she is thankfully able to go home to her family. Her brother sends Conway Griffith to escort her home. Conway becomes smitten with Helen and with little Maeve. Helen struggles to believe that love can be safe and that she can be free to love again. This was a sweet love story with no language and no explicit scenes. I loved it and highly recommend it!

This is the second book in the series which I didn’t initially realise as it can be read as a standalone. I’ve read some other books by the author, so I was really looking forward to reading this one. It did not disappoint.

As usual I enjoyed the writing style used, it added to my enjoyment in reading. The story had me hooked, now I’m not usually one to go for love triangles as I feel they’re a bit over-done, but it was done well and, in the plot, it worked.

There’s darkness, suspense and mystery which I thrive on when reading so this was a great book for me. I’ll be going back to read the first in the series and impatiently wait for another!

Stalked by the DevilStalked by the Devil by Stacy-Deanne
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Stalked by the Devil is part of the To Kiss a Stalker Series. It is a fast-paced romantic suspense that centers around the story of Melody, her sister Sahara, and Sahara’s billionaire boyfriend Keith. Melody is unemployed and living with her successful, supermodel sister Sahara. Sahara is dating billionaire Keith and is hopelessly in love with him, but Melody hates him and is convinced there is something sinister lurking under Keith’s charming exterior. Melody is determined to find out the truth behind Keith’s charming façade and prove that he is not a good person and is not the man her sister thinks that he is. Danger lurks in the shadows as Melody tries to prove who Keith really is and neither of the sisters may be safe when Sahara gets a stalker.

This was a fast-paced, intense, and captivating storyline with characters that are instantly relatable and engaging. Melody has the best interests of her sister at heart even though it is hard for Sahara to see. There is a history between them that involves meddling in past relationships, so this plays a factor in how Sahara treats Melody when Melody tells her that she does not like or trust Keith. Keith is someone that you instantly dislike because he comes across as slimy, manipulative, condescending, and arrogant. The author did a great job of building the suspense and mystery in this book as we learn who we can or cannot trust. The twists and turns that will grab your attention and keep you reading to find out what happens next. This book had romance, action, danger, mystery, stalking, and obsession.
