Aliens on EarthAliens on Earth by Mandy Melanson
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Quite the interesting anthology of romantic stories of aliens and humans in romance here on earth. I read Alice’s Illusions by Maya Banks and The Alien & The Crime Boss by Naomi Valkyrie.

Alice’s Illusions is like a psychotic stalker/thriller. I wished there was a little more alien to the story then just haunted stalker feel. Overall, it’s a good thriller story that you might want to have a light on while you read because it’s a little spooky with your romance. Alice ind Hal feel like a bad trip from the rabbit hole. Try out the story anyway because Alice is full of surprises and she shows them as the story goes on.

The Alien & Crime Boss was a surprising story. A M/M romance that has the alien busting out his warrior to protect the crime boss. Can’t give away to much but it’s a story full of drama, adventure and some out-of-this world romance.. Watching this story develop gave insight to seeing two new cultures come together. It was a good story.

Oh my goodness, this story is so good. I found the plot of the story to be so incredibly creepy. i love the psychological suspense/thrill to the story. The characters and how they intertwine just sucks you right into the story. Truly’s beginning story had me from the start. I couldn’t put the story down. This author has a way of writing that just grabs you by the arm and drags you in. This is right up there with her other stories I’ve read. I can’t wait to read more in this series. This is a must read.

Loved it
Romantic alpha and strong sassy female, this is Ace and Ivy’s story. It is a multilayered story of two tortured souls who are facing life changing situations. Ivy is struggling with her ranch and Ace is struggling to life outside of the military. Their story has a bit of everything: drama, romance, insecurities, faking a relationship and self-discovery. It was great to see characters from the previous books in the Bluestone Series. Looking forward to the next book. Recommend.

5 Star’s
Small Fry by Stephenie Wilson Peterson

Small Fry is a children’s chapter book aimed for middle school aged children between eight to twelve years old. I started to read to my five year old and decided to see what it’s about first then read to him. This author has a way of grabbing your attention and will keep you turning the pages till the end. Her characters are relatable and fully developed. Some of them made me sad and others were simply not nice. There is a very important message in this book and I think every middle school aged kid should read it. Let’s face it kids are mean and bullying is not ok. Silas is in sixth-grade and he is shorter than everyone else in sixth grade by a lot. He has a medical issue that’s makes it hard for him to grow. Good thing he meets some new friends who don’t care about his size and silas bonds with them in band practice and then there’s big bully chad. He decides to make them his new target. Silas over hears chad is running for class president so he decides to run as well to stand up to chad . What happens when a disaster strikes? I highly recommend reading this book to find out what happens next.

Absolute cutest story ever! Lois Wickstrom is amazing with every children’s story she creates. My girls loved this book the best by far and I’m with them!
The message was love yourself, love your siblings, and embrace your differences. Even with Meg being blind her sister, still treated her like any other sibling would. Trying to scare her, but also show her the importance of utilizing all your senses, especially when you’re lacking one. This book is such a great read encompassing valuable lessons. I recommended for all.

(The Alien & The Crime Boss)

KASPER KINGSTON

With my plan to weaken the two major crime families set in motion, I retreat to a remote cabin to wait out the destruction and plan my takeover. None of my plans included a man claiming to be from another planet.

Believing he’s been sent to kill me, his ridiculous claim a distraction meant to throw me off, I hold him prisoner. But then he goes and saves my life. Maybe there’s something to this alien thing after all. One thing is certain, my pathway to power just got a whole lot easier with him on my side.

All I have to do now is stay focused on the mission and not get distracted by the allure of my otherworldly hero.

LEILPHUN

After fleeing the authorities on my home planet to avoid the punishment of the fighting arena, I awake on Earth only to find I’ve exchanged one prison for another. The difference is, I can tell the wary human holding me captive won’t harm me. He might be reluctant to believe I’m not human, but deep-down he knows I’m not a threat.

Despite his suspicion, he treats me well and even initiates the betrothal ritual. Which is why when people show up in the middle of the night intending to kill him, I call upon my warrior spirit to defend him; the very warrior spirit I’d sworn never to use, because I fear losing myself to my primal nature.

Now, Kasper has made me a part of his mission to rise to the top; but how can I be certain it’s me he truly wants? What if I’m just a pawn in his struggle for power – only good for my talents, but not worthy of his love?

4 Stars

 

Stars Like Gasoline by Jessika Grewe Glover is the first book that I have read by this author, so I really didn’t know what to expect going in. It turned out to be a very intriguing and well-woven paranormal mystery with suspense, slow-burn romance, layers, ghosts, a haunted house, love, loss, drama, danger, secrets, agendas, family, friendship, humour, banter, wit, and much more.
Celia is thrust into quite an unexpected mystery involving art heists, a haunted house, a stalker, and buried secrets. Her ability to see ghosts adds an extra element of interest to the story, as does all the clever interconnected details.
This story wouldn’t have had the same impact if it weren’t for the stellar cast of characters- all of which were so fully developed. The complex, layered storyline was quite engrossing- and had me following along avidly to find out how things would play out in the end.
Well worth the read!
Happy Reading…

Thank you, Jessika Grewe Glover!

Another great read by C.R Alam. I had started the series on his forever muse, so I went back and read this and was not disappointed, It was just as good as the second one. Although the relationship between Rae and Dean was slow burning,it was not lacking any chemistry. The story was a real page turner, with their on/ off statues leaves you dying to know what happens. I’m so happy they got their happily ever after. Reading this one after his forever muse makes me love Brandon even more than before. Im off to read the next book. I highly recommend reading.

Undying LightUndying Light by Aurora Wildey
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Undying Light is the first book in the new paranormal fantasy series entitled The Stella Maris Series by Aurora Wildey. Within its pages you find magic, adventure, danger, intrigue, and a whole lot of suspense as characters try to keep secrets hidden.

There are three primary characters, Kaela, Terran, and Seth, who have a bit of a love triangle as the two men both try to protect Kaela. You get to see more of all of their thoughts and actions as the book is written with different povs. Each chapter is marked with whose POV we are in at that moment. Books written in this format can be a little confusing at times, but the author handles it well.

Kaela would probably be dead had Terran not swooped in and saved her, but he was seriously injured in the process, causing Kaela to reveal her guarded secret that she has healing powers. Terran, a werewolf, also hides his true nature, because they would be killed if anyone knew about them. While she uses her powers, Seth senses her as she is one of his kind and he hunts her down. When her life is threatened a 2nd time, both Seth and Terran want to protect her and try to block one another, as neither trusts the other. This leaves Kaela more confused than ever, because who is she supposed to trust and why does anyone want her dead? Did they find out about her abilities? Is that really reason enough to try and kill her? Will the two alpha males team up to protect her instead of competing for her? Will Kaela ever truly be safe again? Find out this and more within the pages of this fast read.

The third book in the Echo series which I think was the best of the three books in the series. This book brought together family connected by blood and by truth filled friendships. Rowan Kelly is working on bringing the the family Inn back to its glory as a promise to her father. Her brother has managed to create a working farm on their land on a quaint Maine island. When Chris Sullens appears on the island to meet Rowan and her brother to help mediate to bring together meeting his friend, things take a turn no one expected. What could go wrong when Chris offers to help with the preparations for a wedding in 2 weeks?

The author has done it again! Her writing is not just about romance but about the whole dynamic of the main characters Chris and Rowan but all the new and interesting friends that come along to create a world the reader can imagine being in. I sure hope that the author has a few more books in the works for the Echo series!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I thoroughly enjoyed reading Undying Light, which is the first book in The Stella Maris Series. I hadn’t read anything by this author yet, but I can tell they are definitely making it on my “Authors to Watch” list! Aurora Wildey had me hooked from the beginning and kept me engrossed until the very end. I really love books that have multiple POVs so this was right up my alley. You immediately feel the drama from a horrible attack that nearly killed Kaela, but a magnificent stranger named Terran saved her. Kaela felt somewhat indebted to Terran for this powerfully kind act which leads her to use her powers to heal him. The two do their best to hide and keep each other safe, but a new individual named Seth enters the picture. He feels Kaela’s presence and gives her the option to work near him while also teaching her who she really is. Seth and Terran don’t really see eye to eye, but Kaela must make an impossible decision. Will she stay with Terran since he has proven he will protect her, or will she feel pulled towards Seth? I can’t wait to see what else this author has in store for us. I highly recommend picking this up especially if you enjoy the fantasy and paranormal genre!

I enjoy reading refreshing and original concepts by C.A and that you never know where she will take you. C.A. King is one of my favourite authors.
The story and plot is well thought out and comes at your thick and fast and you will find yourself cursing because it will be over far too fast. I liked that the story was unpredictable and I love a good guessing game when it comes to books.
This imaginative, creative, unique and well written story has mystery, suspense, action, drama, and psychological elements that will keep you on your toes.
I don’t want to give anything away as you need to discover this tale all on your own. Prepare to be surprised.
I am looking forward to reading the other books in what promises to be dark and intriguing stories in this series.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Punk is the sixth gripping book in the Popov Bratva series. It is a steamy Mafia age gap older woman/younger man tale. I am addicted to Leslie Georgeson stories and this genre she does so well. They are dark and twisted with compelling and complex characters.
The Popov Bratva series has everything you could want and then some. There is intrigue, suspense, passion, angst, lies, deceit, secrets, betrayal, kidnapping, cheating, steam, turmoil, revenge, action, danger and violence.
What a rollercoaster ride Punk is. It is a twisted and dark Mafia story that will have you are on the edge of your seat.
Efrem finally gets his story. He is a tortured soul with dark secrets. He lives in the dark earning his signature name PUNK. Hoping to make up for his dark and sordid past.
She is suffering through a divorce and wants nothing but a good life for her daughter. There is one thing she wants just as much and that is to find the man, she believes destroyed her family.
The chemistry is off the charts between these two, and there is an instant connection, but she has reservations due to the 10-year age gap. All he must do is convince her they are right for each other regardless of a number.
Make sure you read these epic books in order you will not be disappointed.
