The Sweet Temptations Trilogy (Sinful Delights) by L.M. Mountford – Review by Michelle Austin

The Sweet Temptations Trilogy: A why choose Age Gap Romance (Sinful Delights)The Sweet Temptations Trilogy: A why choose Age Gap Romance by L.M. Mountford
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This trilogy is a 5 star read. I was pulled into each story and didn’t want to stop reading until I was done. All of the characters added a great element to the stories. We do get some very mature and steamy moments. We get steaminess, cheating, age gap and so much more.
Sweet Temptations was the age gap babysitter read. Temptation was high in this one.
The Boss’s Daughter this one has black mail, when Richard is caught cheating on his wife. Will the Boss’s daughter keep his secret?
Menage a Trois, this one opens up a whole bunch of secrets. Richard finds out some desires that his wife has had. And it quickly takes a spin when the babysitter gets involved.
This series is definitely for 18+ and if you don’t like cheating this isn’t for you. The author does a great job with her writing and I can’t wait to read more from her. 1-click and get started today.

Your Trainer Says Hi! (Vengeful Vixens Book 2) by Indie Sparks – Review by Amanda Haller-Doris

Your Trainer Says Hi!Your Trainer Says Hi! by Indie Sparks
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I had not read the first book in the series, but I will be remedying this immediately as book two was amazing. The author did a great job of sharing details from the first book, but not so much that I feel the story was spoiled. Nadine was an amazing heroine and her chemistry with Wicks was electric and the steamy factor was off the charts. He was such an amazing lead male who was sweet and sexy. He was such a supportive and caring guy which threw me, because I was expecting such a cocky guy, but he was just such a sweetheart. Nadine had such a rough go with her now ex and seeing her get such a fabulous guy, made it such an amazing story. I loved the title of the book, it cracked me up. I can’t wait to read the other books in the series and by the author.

I’ve heard and read a lot of different Hansel and Gretel stories, but this one was fantastic. I found it really cool how Gretel drew pictures of the animals and landscape along the way. The whole alteration of the original story was interesting to see unfold, especially when accountability was shown. Fantastic job ❤️

The ThievesThe Thieves by Susan Specht Oram
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

A fun, easy read. I enjoyed this one in a different way than the first book in the series. The writer creates an easy flow with the story, told from alternating view points of the female characters from opposing pairs. The premise of the book is fun and you feel the emotion driving them, especially Jas in trying to help
Her dad. They are likable despite their chosen paths throughout the story. The storyline is unique and I haven’t read anything quite like it and enjoyed the way it was presented.

This book can be read as a standalone and is a quick, action-packed read. I continue to find this author’s work to be engaging and entertaining!

Rogue (The Talisman Series Book 6)Rogue by Tam DeRudder Jackson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

In only 2 books, Tam DeRudder Jackson has become one of my favorite authors. Her writing style, descriptions, & creativity make her entirely phenomenal. I fell in love with this series with Talisman, & even as out of order as I’ve now read Rogue, I feel like I haven’t missed anything. Each individual character is so different from the others, in thought processes & opinions & mannerisms – truly an amazing accomplishment! With steamy sexy scenes, exciting battles, adventurous vibes, & a little magic going a long way, I’ll thoroughly enjoy devouring every single word in every single book just as much as I did this one!

Jasmine, determined to get her father the treatment he desperately needs as hes quickly running out of time decides to pull off a criminal and questionable stunt on her sleazy boss to make a quick payday, however someone else is also looking for a quick payday and the story evolves from there without giving too much away.
This story is fast paced, characters are well developed and have a “real” quality to them, and can be comical, witty and do ridiculously dumb things all in the same chapter. This is a multi pov story which also kept my attention.
Well done 2nd story in this series that kept my attention as well as the first

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is the second book in The Millersville series, and Susan continues her marvelous way of creating an unforgettable story. Jasmine will do anything in the world for her father, including stealing the money he so desperately needs for treatment. She thinks she has the perfect plan because her boss is a terrible human being. Jasmine has the money when suddenly two “cops” steal it back from her. Does she have what it takes to pull off another crime…stealing this money again? She refuses to give up on her father, but she may be over her head here. I can’t wait until the third book in this series is released next month! I highly recommend picking this one up (as well as the first!) especially if you enjoy psychological thrillers.

How To Write A Historical Novel And Love It by TL Clark – Review by Jennifer Ramos

How To Write A Historical Novel And Love ItHow To Write A Historical Novel And Love It by T.L. Clark
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

What a useful tool and helpful guide to those inspired to write a historical novel. Our imagination and inventive words only take us so far as writers can go but to write a novel within the grasp of a historical novel takes work and focus to bring our stories to life. Clark, a historical novelist, has used her previous works as not only examples but also using the works of many historical novels in bringing understanding to different aspects the writers need to be aware of when bringing historical components to their own novel. Old sayings and languages as well as place setting with events were some pinpoints she would describe its significance. Also having our story and characters and placing them into the historical setting and adding detail only the way with concepts of clothing, education, etc. Such a great read and definitely keeping this one as a future reference!

What an emotional read but so very well written. Usually with emotional reads I need to take several breaks, so it can take days to weeks to read from beginning until end, fortunately this was very much unlike the rest. I was very engaged from beginning till end.
Although this was a nonfiction novel, it felt so real, as if I was reading her story. The writing truly was captivating.

This is the 2nd book to the Millersville Series, and while the books can be read as a standlone I so highly recommend both books so much! This book was fast paced crime thriller from a gem of an author and so happy to discover. This story was gripping, had me at the edge of my seat, heart racing, jaw dropping moments with all kinds of twists and tangles.

Believing the plan would work and take money from her employer, who is shady as heck, in turn backfires. When Jasmine and her friend, Phil, are robbed of their own money they stole by other criminals, the pursuit is on to take back money they stole in turn.

Along the way tow drive get involved in mix to help Jasmine and his mother trying to track down Bets and Zerk, whom are the criminals whom stole the money from Jasmine and Philip.

This is book three of the Madame Chalamet series and is just as good as its predecessors. Elinor and Tristan are on the hunt to find out who and why someone has kidnapped the daughter of a nobleman. The nobleman thinks the Society, a group that Elinor works for, is behind it. Will she be able to remain impartial and do some good investigating? What will the fate of Elinor be when she comes up missing herself? How will she dig herself out of this mess? These books are pleasant reads and can be read in one sitting. I felt like the chapters were a bit short but they still packed in a lot of information that kept the story moving forward. While I can recommend this book on its own I strongly feel that one should read books one and two to get a better understanding and feel for the characters.

Braving Lily (True Platinum Series Book 7) by Morgana Bevan – Review by Dr. Anya Schultz

Braving Lily (True Platinum, #5)Braving Lily by Morgana Bevan
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Braving Lily was a great rock star romance. Lily is a famous rock star who auctioned off a date for charity. When she went to meet the date, she was stood up. For some reason, she cannot get over the fact that she was stood up and decided to confront the man. The man is Rhys, a divorced man who isn’t ready to date but is constantly being set up by his mother. After they do meet for the first time, both of them are intrigued with each other and decide to try a real date. While the two didn’t start on a great footing, they quickly start to really enjoy each other’s company. Lily is giving him feelings he hasn’t felt in quite some time, he finds himself trusting her very easily. He provides a private life and a non-caring about her fame mentality that makes her quickly fall for him. However, the problem both face is she is leaving for a year long tour so they try to keep it casual, but that is hard to do when feelings get involved. Can they both get over their past and present livelihoods to let this love story bloom?
I liked this story a lot. I liked how it started with a girl going after what she “wants”, but the guy not wanting her just because she is famous. They advance quickly in their dynamics and I love how there was no bull in the story. The author kept it straightforward, always moving, with one issue, and a solution. I feel that while they experienced miscommunication, she kept that part short and sweet so I didn’t get pissed at the characters. I thought the characters were great. Lily was a strong, but vulnerable girl who goes after what she wants and doesn’t apologize for it. However, she is also caring and honest about her life. Rhys was also a strong, caring, honest character. He was upfront about his expectations, and while he had insecurities, his confidence was sexier. I will also mention that the sex scenes were just spicy enough for a nice romance-type story.

As someone who has often debated and wanted to write a history text TL Clark lays out the fundamentals in a clear and concise way anyone can follow. One of the best parts of this book is that it serves as a blueprint for how to write a historic novel while giving examples from their own writings. The author even gives tips and tricks for after you have finished writing your novel on how to navigate the tricky world of marketing and getting your novel published. I would highly recommend this book to anyone that would want to get their feet wet and dabble in the field of writing their own novel whether it be a historic novel or any other genre.

Ale’s Fair in Love and War: An Enemies-to-Lovers Romance is the first book in Love on Tap series.

The snark between them and the pranks they pull are great. You can feel the sparks growing between them. When they join forces to save Cash’s business, they are a power to be reckoned with. I enjoyed the characters and the back-and-forth between them. This is an entertaining romantic read with a HEA. I look forward to grabbing the next book in this series. With this author, I’m always guaranteed a good book.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

A dress to remember by K.L. Small is a story full of magic and love. The magical experience of it being a children’s story made it all that more enjoyable.

Strong-willed For her birthday in two weeks, Princess Zarina desires a unique outfit for the Royal Promotion Ceremony. She bargains with an enigmatic dressmaker for a ball gown that will be remembered by all. For her, the dressmaker fashioned a stunning black gown. Zarina had not anticipated this clothing, though. Even more so when fire fairies twirl over the skirt.

Zarina becomes stuck within the enchanted dress after the arrangement with the dressmaker goes awry. She is on her own to make it back to the castle. But, attackers overrun the country and slay the King and Queen. Zarina the Princess must avoid being taken.

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 kind characters. The story really transports you into their world. I couldn’t put the book down.

As a member of the Morpheus Society, an elite, highly trained group of Mediums, Madame Chalamet is required to provide mentorship to an aspiring Medium at least once every ten years. Not a job she much enjoys, Madam Chalamet is even more disgruntled to have been saddled with a know-it-all of an apprentice who touts natural talent ahead of book smarts. When the Duke de Archembeau appears with a nobleman friend who’s daughter has recently disappeared, she displays her own natural talents of Ghost Talking to discover what has happened to the missing daughter and her attractive maid.
This thoroughly enjoyable series continues to entertain, moving through new mysteries and tales of love, while simultaneously furthering the heroine’s personal motives of learning the identify of her father’s killer.
Anxiously awaiting Book 4!

This series is so fun to read! Madame Chalamet can communicate with the dead. She is intelligent, independent and daring. She also helps the Gendarme in solving murders which usually puts her in precarious situations. This story is no different. Although each book in the series is connected, it can be read as a stand-alone. You won’t have too much trouble following the underlying story.

In this book, Madame Chalamet is saddled with an apprentice, Twyla. Twyla is an eager student who unfortunately speaks before thinking. It ends up for some awkward situations. Not having seen the Duke de Archambeau for a few months, he enters Madame’s life with the disappearance of a Baron’s daughter. Nothing is simple in this ghost talker’s life. The disappearance of the young lady is linked to someone in Madame Chalamet’s past. Once again in danger, can Chalamet make it through this as et alive?

I found this novel to be an entertaining page turner, with a gripping storyline, quirky characters and plenty of drama and action. It’s a fast paced crime thriller that had me hooked from page one, and the twists and turns kept me guessing, and turning the pages! Jasmine Bucker only turns to crime in order to provide her father with the cash needed to save him from a rare lung disease. Her plan is to steal the money from her shady boor of a boss, but things don’t go to plan when sirens are heard during the getaway. Jasmine soon discovers that the cops are bogus and have stolen the money from her. Although she’s stranded and broke, she’s determined to get the life saving money back, and so must outwit the more professional crooks, and pull off a high stakes recovery mission. This was an enjoyable and engaging read, with an action packed plot and wonderful characters, whether they were good guys or bad ones. I felt completely immersed in the storyline and felt invested in the outcome along with Jasmine.

Dunn knows exactly how to pull the reader in from the very 1st page. The adventure, love, heartache, all the emotions are rolled into this book and you feel like you are standing right there in the room with them, very few books make me feel that way.

Spirit Guide (Madame Chalamet Ghost Mysteries #3)Spirit Guide by Byrd Nash
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is the third instalment of the Madame Chalamet Ghost Mysteries. I would recommend reading the first 2 books as they give more information on the background and relationships between the characters.

I found this book to be slightly more serious than the others but is still as entertaining and gripping as the first two. I enjoyed the progression of the underlying story running through each book – things are starting to come together for Elinor’s personal mystery.

There continues to be character development in this instalment which I enjoy, particularly seeing a more vulnerable side to Elinor in the new challenges and dangers she faces on her way to completing her ‘mission’. She remains a strong character as we learn more about her when catching glimpses beneath the armour as her limits are tested.
I wasn’t expecting the introduction of the new character, Twyla, to be so significant. She presents as such a contrast to Elinor as she seems to fumble about, trying to get her bearings and making mistakes which require rectifying, that it creates a new and interesting dynamic to the group leading me to question the impact moving forward.

Another aspect I particularly enjoyed, was the continuing build in attraction between Elinor and Tristan Fontaine and the development of their relationship. I love their back and forth and I find myself rooting for the growing relationship – I often smile when reading their interactions.

Once again while this is a fairly short novella, there’s so much packed into it that you don’t miss a thing. While I wish the stories were longer, they are written in a way that that although short doesn’t take away from the great story line or negatively impact the plot.
It’s paced well to suit its length and once again I am left anxiously awaiting the next book in the series!

Abby turned 40. And as most females know the older you get the louder that biological clock ticks. And this is where this story really starts. Abby’s clock is ticking so loudly and all she wants is to have a baby. She’s done waiting for Mr. Right. She can do this on her own, can’t she? When her best friend finds out, Nate insists that he help. However he has only one rule. That they do this the old fashioned way. That really wont complicate their friendship, right? It only takes one time. But will once be enough? Or will the each want more?
This book was amazing!!! Abby and Nate were amazing characters and I really think that this was a really relatable story. I think that most women have a guy friend that they think would make an amazing father. But what would happen if they make that friend the father of their child? This really looks at this question in depth. I also think it was written so realistically. How they didn’t answer all the questions that they should have and how their decisions are affecting their friendship. I truly loved this story!

You have Jas and Phil who are trying to get money to take care of Jas’ dad when their plans are foiled by Becs and Zerk. This then sends you on a journey where you meet additional outlandish folks, and you can only hope that it all works out in the end.

This is a cute story that easily kept my interest. There is a lot of action and suspense. I really wanted to know what could possibly happen next. At first I really disliked the main character, Zarina. She annoyed me with her spoiled bratty selfishness. As the story moved along and she started making changes 8 actually became invested in her, her dress and her story.

Overall this is a delightful fantasy story. I would recommend for a younger audience (tween). This is a first time author for me. The story has nice flow and easily engages the reader.
