Obedience (Ties That Bind Book 1) by Liza Snow

Obedience is the first book in the Ties That Bind Series and is a Romance Suspense that will have you turning the pages till the end. This is a new author to me and I’m definitely going to check out what other books they have written. I wasn’t real sure what to expect going in but what a ride. This authors style of writing pulls you in from the beginning and doesn’t let go till the end. Her characters are fully developed, real and make the story come to life. This is a story about a Teacher- student relationship that turns into way more than that. I truly enjoyed reading this fast paced story that is packed with drama, suspense, romance and so much more. What will happen when the past comes back t? I highly recommend reading this book to find out what happens next . I look forward to reading more from this Author.

My review are for two stories, the first one is Dark Thief by Melissa Riddell and the second one is The Alien & The Crime Boss by Naomi Valkyrie. Both stores we’re absolutely amazing. The world building and characters was well thought out. There is a lot of action, suspense, drama, and romance. The stories was a page turner for me. I was on the edge of my seat wanting to know what happened next. I highly recommend this Sci fi romance.

Talk about a whirlwind. Fast paced at neck breaking speeds I couldn’t keep up with the turmoil. My heart aches for Kyle. I want to scream at Lyle !

Abuse is a consistent theme thorough out the book mentions of SA, PA and mental.

The going really got good when the marriage of convenience came into play. I really want to know the backstory on that.

Healing Kiss by Amanda Uhl – Review by Maikalani alexander

Healing KissHealing Kiss by Amanda Uhl
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Mysteriously vague at just the right amount.

Healing kiss is a slow burning romance that unravels the past the open a future. Lilian, left home under the guise and new identify of zoey. Rushing home to save her sister she meets a Tristan. Strong dependable, loyal and madly in love with her everything she dreamt of but she can’t have him. Zoey pushes Tristan away protecting him in fear of her discovery. Zoey inadvertently brings the risk of death by association. She desperately wants a normal life. But is that something even possible for zoey Lilian ?

This book is slow paced, the world building is good but leaves me wanting to know how things happened in her past to connect the dots at a faster pace with more understanding. The plot unfolds based on the main characters realization and situations. There is a spicy scene and does end in a happy ending with an epilogue hinting at a potential future book. I’m excited to see if the author continues a sequel based on Lilian’s sister Hannah

No sacrifice is too big.

No secret too small.

I’m out to win, and I don’t even know the game.

My opponents? They’re the Academy’s football stars, gods among their peers, and I want nothing to do with them.

But I’m stuck on a mission to help out a friend, and keeping my distance shouldn’t be too hard.

That’s when Damon Savage walks in, looking like he stepped out of a magazine, and worse—my friend wants him… and I’m the one who has to play matchmaker.

I’m tangled in a web of lies, and only I can set myself free.

There’s only one problem with my plan… Damon’s determination to bend me to his will and my dark desires to let him.

Brutal Days is an enemies-to-lovers, new adult, high school bully romance with 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 Brutal Nights.

Fireflies (The Physical Collection Series Book #3) by A.R. Hadley – Review by

Fireflies (The Physical Collection)Fireflies by A.R. Hadley
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

 

3 Stars

 

Fireflies: An Erotic Poly MMF Novel is the third book in The Physical Collection series by A.R. Hadley. This is the first book that I have read by Ms. Hadley, so I really wasn’t sure of what I could expect from her storytelling. But the Title and cover intrigued me enough to want to find out.
This is a MMF polyamorous relationship story- a bit of a character piece whose characters are portrayed, warts and all. Even though I can see that Ms. Hadley put a lot of time, effort, heart, and soul into developing her characters, I really struggled to connect with Mike and Dane. They frustrated me no end, right from the beginning…… Their 7-year relationship had its ups and downs, but Dane felt like something was missing and wanted to bring a female into their mix and perhaps ‘settle down’ and start a family- if they can find the right woman. And so the ‘adventures begin.
The story definitely sizzles off the pages in parts, and the characters play believable parts- but as I mentioned I just couldn’t connect with them and because of that I didn’t invest in them and the outcome of their story the way I would have liked.
But perhaps this was just me having an ‘off’ reading day, so don’t let me put you off grabbing a copy and making up your own mind.
Happy Reading…

Thank you, A.R. Hadley!

“He woke him with a kiss. That was just the beginning.”

Sleeping Love by Natalina Reis is another interesting paranormal MM romance with shifters, magic, action, adventure, danger, friendship, family, curses, forbidden love, friends-to-lovers, fate, angst, drama, agendas, and high stakes.
This had definite Sleeping Beauty vibes with a bit of a twist, as well as Eastern cultural influences, and shifters mingled in. Thes Asian influences definitely added an extra element of interest to the story, for me. This isn’t your ‘regular’ romance, though- but still tugs on the heart strings.
Happy Reading…

Thank you, Natalina Reis!

This is my first time reading a book from the author Amanda Uhl. I really really enjoyed reading it. Although it doesn’t have the usual supernatural beings you’re used to in these types of books, but it was just as good. And the power they do have is super interesting and unique. The authors did an amazing job pulling you into the intriguing world she has built. Also the attraction between Lillian/Zoey and Tristan is just the chef’s kiss. I would highly recommend this book to everyone, just make sure you have free time lmao you’re not gonna want to put this book down.

Based on a true story, the author has drawn us into his life and is showing us a venerable side of himself. This book brings us into his relationships with three different women who are more flawed than he thinks he is. The author does a good job of building the story and drawing you into these relationships so that you as the reader are experiencing these moments right along with him. You will definitely follow through the highs and lows, the happy, sad and anger filled moments. You will experience all of this and more.

Where do I even begin……this story…my emotions are all over the place and I am trying to keep them in check. I am totally in love with this book but the gut punch of just raw, pure emotions really has me wanting more. This is my first book by this author and wow………I am just amazed.

This MM Romance is dark, and you are on a complete journey with Lyle and Kyle. They both grew up poor and in dire straits with their families that involved abuse and neglect. Their vow is to be there for each other like “brothers”, Kyle always protecting Lyle at all costs..the trauma and emotional roller coaster they go through until they are separated by despair and lies. When Lyle and Kyle reconnect….their love for each other never wavered….more so than just being brothers in their eyes. What happens when jealousy, lies and the need to pretend start to crack between Lyle and Kyle?

This story really has me on edge, just thinking about both Kyle and Lyle….my heart is just breaking……if you like dark MM Romance this story is definitely for you, but be warned there are triggers that may not be for everyone. I am looking forward to book 2 already! The author left me wanting more!!

Middle school is a huge challenge all by itself but Silas Fitzpatrick has a bigger challenge because of his growth harmony disorder . But Silas maintains a positive attitude and tries to face the adversity bravely . Bullying is a constant threat and Silas is a victim of uncomfortable treatment both from the teachers and students . Silas is an inspiration for each one of us reminding us that we have to improvise constantly and be a little better version of oneself than what we were yesterday. It is a well written book which conveys a beautiful message to stand up against adversities in a positive spirit .

This is my first book by this author, and I didn’t find myself disappointed with this book! To me this was a fast paced read and was filled with tons of emotions. This was based on a true story, and was overall a well written story. I enjoyed the amount of detail each character had and how the author brought the story to life with the turn of each page. We are introduced to a man named Leo who is trying to find love after his divorce. He finds that trying to balance life with 3 children and looking for love might not be all it’s been cracked up to be! He finds himself being surrounded after one disastrous woman after another! But the month of November rolls around, and Leo finds that he is introduced to 3 different women who might have the capability to alter his life for good! I enjoyed the emotion, laughter and overall world that has been brought to us by the author. This book was a great read that was hard to put down once I started it!

I almost passed this book up as it didn’t seem like it was in my normal wheelhouse, but I’m glad I decided to take a chance on it. Jim Shomos takes us through this timeline of what feels like “right person, wrong time” over and over again. Some may find it a little immature to try finding love repeatedly if you have unresolved issues, but I think it’s heartwarming to see someone who takes chances for true love. It is a rollercoaster of emotions as you are invested in Leo and his pursuit of happiness. You feel a stab each time something doesn’t work out, and relentless hope for just one stroke of serendipity. I really enjoyed reading this and taking the journey alongside Leo.

Sleeping Love is a beautiful friends to lovers M/M stand-alone paranormal romance tale. This story has a different twist and is not your normal romantic story. It is beautiful, intriguing and charming that is a quick and easy read.
This compelling Sleeping Beauty fairy-tale retelling is filled with adventure, action, magic, princes, an evil king, banishment and curses.
Natalina’s world building is well thought out and the characters are wonderfully written and well fleshed out. The cast of secondary characters are engaging and made me laugh. There is lots of sass, fun banter, love, angst, sadness, and friendship.
I enjoy Natalina’s stories as they are engaging and creative. This lovely story will touch your heart and make you believe in a love.

4.5 stars
Fireflies is exactly what its title infers a provocative erotic poly MMF tale. It is a part of The Physical Collection which is a series of sexy evocative standalones. It is a twisty and beautiful story of love but not in the conventional sense for some.
A.R. Hadley is a new author to be but if this book is any indication of her writing, then I will certainly be seeking out more of her work. Her narrative is simplistic in its telling but absolutely enticing and engrossing.
It is a sensually erotic tale and I love that it has some dark and gritty elements that gives just that little bit more. There are complicated entanglements, lots of steam, emotions, drama and passion.
Dane and Mike’s relationship is not perfect, but it works for them until now. They have depth, imperfections and flaws. They have desires, wants and needs. Is their relationship strong enough to allow others in?

Like the vocabulary- from the idiom “faint of heart” to “homo sapiens” to settlement to cluster to monstrosity, which is refreshing for a book I would target towards preschoolers and younger. The book would be a joy to read to a young audience because it is told through different animal voices.

The story reminded me of Just So Stories, telling who humans stand and have hands. As an adult, I appreciated both the cuteness of the book as well as the funny regurgitated children from the school bus scene.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Foxy Tails by Natalina Reis is a story full of love and adventure that makes it that more interesting.

A really original fantasy romance, Foxy Tails combined elements of fairy tales with a quest involving magic, shifters, and a regal realm. I adored how unique this narrative and its surroundings were. In order to keep the reader interested in the characters’ adventures, the author makes several references to the culture and mythologies of ancient China. These references are both educational and fascinating.Huli and Xiao Ying, in my opinion, constituted a good pairing that was well-balanced. There was a clear connection between these two, and I enjoyed watching them grow closer even though their romance didn’t feel like the story’s primary focus.

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

The conclusion to Savage Lies is Savage Truth and it is a good story. High-schoolers facing very adult situations about life, love and death.

Even though young adult stories aren’t my favorites, this duet is a really good story. This author makes this genre easy to read; this story exciting and easy to follow.

The First Sin (South of Eden) Audiobook by Lisa Beth Darling – Review by Rebeca Elliott Figueiras

I will preface this review with the advice of if you do not enjoy religious interpretations or texts to be altered or stray from the original form, this book is not for you, and I would advise you not to read this. It’s a work of fiction and is to be read with that in mind for enjoyment.
I was raised Catholic and absolutely loved this paranormal romance!

I love the way that the author has brought together the Christian elements and the Olympian elements in a way that makes sense. I enjoyed the way the story was told, occasionally jumping back to provide glimpses into the past.
I also enjoyed the way the narrator voiced the characters with emotion – it brought the author’s descriptive writing and characters to life.

The characters were constructed very well, each of them given their own distinct personalities which suited their roles.
I thought making the Olympian Gods and Christian God siblings was creative and created many humorous and interesting dynamics which were made believable.

I absolutely hated Adam, the author did well to create that feeling through the viewpoint of Lucifer so quickly.

I loved Eve’s sass when facing God and her strength in everything she faced however there were parts in which she frustrated me (her indecisiveness when it came to her romantic relationships for example).

Ares I have mixed feelings about, he’s caring (at times to the point of irritation) but also stubborn yet desperate? That’s the only word that comes to mind there. But I think I’m mostly annoyed by him because of my love for another character.

God a.k.a Chuck was written in a way that fits so well with the story of sibling rivalry – it made sense to me that it was written this way and although I was annoyed by some of what He did, I could see how His personality and family history led to it. The story would not be the same or as good if He had been changed in even the tiniest way – I am in awe of how well the author tied everything together through Chuck.

My absolute favourite character from beginning to end was Lucifer. Made out to be evil but cared for humanity, was fair and just and was punished for it. If I was Eve, there would be no question who my heart would go whole-heartedly to. I can’t give away too many reasons I love Lucifer in this book without revealing spoilers, just know he is caring, smart and fair. He deserves better.

I could rave for days about so many more characters and ways the author wove together an incredible story with surprises, manipulation and complexity, but revealing any more will give away spoilers and you really must experience this for yourself.

I loved it and I will be seeking out more by this author. Extremely talented!

This book is the third book in the author’s series, The Physical Collection. While this is my first read by this author I have to say I do not think you will have any problems following along if you read the titles out of order.

Mike and Dane are in an open relationship together. They have been with each other for years and love one another. This book begins with Dane suggesting they search for the addition of a woman to join their relationship that will eventually grow into a full time polyamorist relationship and family.

Like any relationship, there are complications, mixed emotions, and drama. Overall, the magnitude of the characters dynamics together are fiercely HOT!

I think the author does a great job describing the complexity of different personalities and desires clashing and meshing together. I wish more details had been shared regarding the females within the story, as I was left wanting to know more about what made them tick.

I enjoyed this book and cannot wait to read the other titles in this collection.
