His Protector is a wonderful, romance full of suspense, courage, and strength. Jack Amborn has lost everything he loves. Ginger Carver has taken an oath to protect, Jack. The characters are well-written and the tension between the two is palpable. While I won’t give away any details of the story, I will say that it is a must read, and kept me hooked from the first sentence to the last. I’m looking forward to reading more by Sara Vinduska.

This book is great! I was hooked reading from the first chapter. The roles are reversed in this book, which I really liked. President Jack Amborn has recently lost everything, when there is a threat on his life. S.S. agent Ginger has to protect the president before he gets taken out. Along the way she falls for him. This books spans across a few years. It shows their ups/downs and their relationship blooming. Can she save him while keeping her feelings from getting in the way?

First of all, let me start by saying this is not usually the type of genre that I am into, with that being said, I will say that this book was an interesting read. It had a weird vibe to it, but like weird in a good way. I found the story had a fun vibe to it in regard to the storyline of June and Sarge going on missions to help the aliens. I mean…come on…it has aliens, what’s not interesting about aliens! It was nice to see that June’s kids, Cora and Liv were involved in the story and weren’t just introduced and then not really mentioned again. The girls both seemed like great girls, who were very intelligent, especially when it came to the work Liv was doing to help her dad. I did find that the relationship June had was odd and did find myself thinking it was weird that she was with Sarge, they came off as having more than just a partner relationship and friendship. All in all, I found that it was a fun story with adventures they all have, the research that was done, and the unique characters that are introduced along the way.

This is an author that I really enjoy reading and this book is one of my favorites yet. Her books are creative and engaging. This book is no different. This is a well written, fast paced story that is hard to put down. The characters are steamy and made the story easy to read. They are connectable and pull you into their world. They have great growth and chemistry as well. A story where going backwards is not always a bad thing. What happens with Doctor Frank you don’t want to miss for sure. What will he do when he is faced with a choice of going back to something he said he never would? This is a romance story you don’t want to miss for sure. I highly recommend this book and this author.

King – Review by Bobbi Wagner
Doctor Frank Enstein (Doctors of Eastport General) by C.A. King is Ms. King’s second contribution to this medical romance series: the Doctors of Eastport General collection is a collaboration by several different authors, each releasing their own story set in Eastport General Hospital. This is another by Ms. King, a spicy, short, and sexy read that will keep you in its grasp right through to the end. Let’s face it, I already love Ms. King’s stories, so it was a given that I would be reading this book as soon as it hit my Kindle. And who doesn’t love a sexy Doctor? I know I sure do… This novella is a contemporary romance- and although it might be smaller in page numbers, it has the feel and delivery of a much larger novel. We meet plastic surgeon, Doctor Frank Enstein, who has a passion to help disfigured patients by repairing their damaged flesh and helping them regain some of their lost confidence. He wants to use his position to truly make a difference in the world. When he meets Barbara, their chemistry certainly sizzles, but he might get the wrong impression at first…Barbara, on the other hand, just wants to be feel ‘normal’ and pain free and is desperate for help- she meets Doctor Frank and finally has hope. But has she placed her hope in the wrong hands? Can and will he help her? What starts off as pretty casual, turns out to be so much more than either of them ever expected. What happens makes for a sweet and engaging read. Looking forward to seeing what Ms. King has in store for us next. Happy Reading…

King – Review by Angela Hayes
This was a good book. I would be interested to read Coyote Summer to see what the story is like with magical elements. This kind of book is one that makes you uncomfortable and tense because it is a topic that is so real. I found myself getting angry at the situation because of the real life aspect of it and I couldn’t imagine this happening to me or people I knew in my youth. I thought the characters were relatable and you could feel the pressure and angst they were feeling. It definitely fits in the genre of its kind.

A wonderful mix of fantasy This is the first book in the Ruarnon Trilogy and is a well written YA fantasy that has portals, battles and plenty of adventure. The author delivers an overall strong first book with only a few parts that were not as smooth as the rest of the book. Having said that I love the strong Australian undertone and the storyline. There are multiple POVs but it’s Ruarnon who dominates the story. I am keen to see where the story goes from here in book 2.

A botched attempt on his life kills his wife and unborn child leaving him alone and heartbroken.

The head of his SS detail Ginger and Jack become very close over the years and have both gotten Feelings for eachother but, Ginger takes a step back knowing, she cannot keep him safe and protect him while in a relationship with Him. I thought the book was well written and the characters were well liked but, I felt like it took way to long to get anything between Jack and Ginger.

This is a cute romance for those that thought it couldn’t happen. Barbara has been dealing with a health issue that has left her feeling less confident and in pain. Along comes Dr. Frank. He has never felt this way about any woman. They have a lovely chemistry. A wonderfully quick read that I wish had just a bit more story to it. I loved it anyway and found it quite romantic.

King – Review by Shelly Kittell
This book is a super cute quick read. It has everything that you are looking for in a romance book. It has the misjudgments at the first meeting to the growing of feelings throughout the book. Barbara went to Frank to help her with something that has Frank, who is dealing with some of his own issues, look at things a little differently. This leads to them having a horrible first meeting and yet something blossoms out of that meeting and they can’t seem to stay away from each other. Reading this book you will get caught up in the building of he characters and their backstories. You will figure out what is bothering Frank and why Barbara needs a plastic surgeon. These two things are key to how they develop their love story. If you have a couple hours that you can sit down and get lost in the small town feel of this book, you wont be disappointed. Also, it never hurts to read about a hot doctor.

King – Review by Barbara Bohls
This books is book one of the series. This is the first book I’ve read by this author but I wasn’t disappointed. This was such a good book I couldn’t put it down!
Rae has decided, after seeing what it did to her mom, that love is just not for her. She is independent. She gets to travel and see the world. Why would she need to be tied to a man? Dean doesn’t let anything get him down. To make sure of that, he’s swearing off women. Neither one of them expect that one weekend can change everything. Why would they? They are happy with how their lives are.
These characters are so well developed. Rae and Dean are both stubborn. Rae is patient but also knows not to take any crap. Their chemistry just about jumps off the page. You couldn’t help but root for them! This book has some ups and downs and so much heart and emotion. It’s truly well written and I can’t wait to dive into book two. I definitely recommend this book!

Alam – Review by Angelina Frazzini
This book is book four of the series but can be read as a standalone. I didn’t read the first three books but didn’t feel like I lost anything. It might be a good idea to read them first to be introduced to other characters.
Noah is lost and in over his head as he finds himself the guardian of a baby. He does what anyone would do, calls his brother for help. Luckily his brother knows Amy and Amy happens to be good with kids. At first glance Amy can tell Noah is overwhelmed. She wants nothing more than to help. So she finds herself hired as Amelia’s nanny. Amy is sunshine and rainbows and Noah is definitely not. Can these two get passed their differences? There is so much more to their story but you should really read it yourself.
This was a really good read. The characters have depth and are a tad complicated. There’s secrets and a lot of emotion. This book is well written and I’m glad I picked it up!

I really enjoyed this one! This was a wonderfully written slow burn romance that was a blast to read. I enjoyed Rae and Deans chemistry. The storyline kept me hooked and I read this in practically one sitting. The secondary characters were fleshed out and had some of the best dialogue in the book. I think the author did a fantastic job making the reader feel the vast amount of emotions the MCs experienced. If you’re a fan of slow burn romance- you’ll love this book! I’m looking forward to reading the next in the series. (:

With her parents and brother missing and presumed dead, Grand Duchess Olga Romanova must keep her younger sisters safe. The Bolsheviks are determined to eliminate any remaining holdovers from the tsarist regime, hunting down the last Romanovs and putting them to death. Now living in England, the Romanov sisters remain hidden to protect their identities, even as isolation strains their relationships.
But they can’t distance themselves from the world forever.
Olga learns that a peer of the realm has accused the late Empress Alexandra of betraying Russia and her allies during the Great War. Under the spell of the scheming Grigori Rasputin, Alexandra disclosed military secrets to the enemy. If this rumor becomes a part of the historical record, it will destroy her mother’s reputation and her sisters’ futures.
Disguised as “Olivia,” a wartime nurse turned maid, Olga accepts a position in Lord Hammond’s household. There, she works to discover the truth about her mother. When Olga meets his lordship’s heir—an alluring but enigmatic veteran—her situation grows even more precarious. The more she learns about the tragedies of his past, the more complicated and dangerous their connection, and her own family’s legacy, turns out to be.
Doctor Frank Enstein spent years becoming a sought-after cosmetic surgeon and not for the same reason as others in his field. For him, it wasn’t about tits and it certainly had nothing to do with ass. His motives were deeper, purer; something only someone with a similar tragic past would understand.
He merely put up with long lines of superficial women demanding exuberant changes to perfectly fine bodies. It was a means to an end, and finally it was all paying off.
His assignment with a new burn unit at Eastport General Hospital was the job he wanted—a place where he could really make a difference.
When a busty barmaid tries to start up a conversation, she threatens to drag him back into the practice he left behind. No matter how attractive she is, that couldn’t happen.
Taking a step backward isn’t part of the plan, but maybe it should be.
About C.A. King, USA Today Bestselling Author I was diagnosed with clinical depression after the loss of my mother, father and husband within three years of each other; all to cancer. 24/7 in-home care, coupled with the loss I felt, left its mark on my psyche. Depression takes up a lot of my life. Reading and writing are the only things I have found that help (in connection with regular medication), even if only for a short time. To escape to a different world can make a big difference in my mood in real time. To put things in perspective, when I was at my lowest point, I couldn’t open mail, talk on the phone, or even drive to the store. Walls of sadness surrounded me. As they closed in, tears would fall. There didn’t need to be a reason or trigger. People ask me why I started writing. My answer is simple: I wanted to create a world into which other people with similar problems could escape. I wanted to share the one place that had helped me for many years. I have always said that as long as one person finds a little bit of happiness out of my books, I am, in my opinion, an accomplished author. The same is true for every writer out there. Please don’t ever let anyone tell you different. I read books as well as write them and have visited the worlds many different authors have created. Those worlds not only make me feel better, but give me the strength to face real life again. I want to thank everyone who writes – I want them to know they are making a difference. Fast forward to today… I am an award-winning & USA Today Bestselling Author with over 50 books available across multiple fantasy sub-genres.

This is an interesting take on the world of demons and angels. Kai is an angel of death and he has been trained from birth to kill. He has been taught that demons are evil and do not have emotions but that all changes when he meets Byron. The young demon shows Kai how wrong everything he has been taught is. When Kai is assigned to kill Byron, he begins to question things and lies begin to unravel as Kai and Byron fight to survive. I enjoyed meeting Kai and Byron. The two are good together and their story pulled me in right from the start. The two quickly endeared themselves to this reader. Kai has gone through a lot in his life and he is surviving but the pain has left its mark. Byron is a young man who sees the good in Kai and trusts him to keep them safe. It was nice to watch their relationship take shape as the two work to figure out why Byron has been targeted. I also enjoyed seeing the relationship and interactions of Byron and his family. Their story moves at a good pace and I was immersed in the world and characters that the author has created.
Whew the chemistry in this story is off the charts! I love a second chance plot and this one comes with a little more danger. Isaac and Mina will grab you from the very beginning. They have a past but no one else knows. Great story, great plot, and our favorite Hawke characters!

His Forever Muse is the second book in The Echo series by C.R. Alam. This is a captivating second-chance contemporary romance- a friends to lovers rockstar romance with a best friends sister element threaded through. Brandon is the front man for rock band ‘Canis Major’. His whole life revolves around his creativity and artistic expression- music, art, and tattoos. So, when he loses his inspiration and his creativity begins to suffer, Brandon’s quest is to find something, well anything really, that will reignite his creative passion. This is where he encounters a blast from the past, in the form of Calliope Chen-Bisset…. will she become “His Forever Muse”? This is well worth the read to find out…. There’s plenty of emotion, chemistry, friendship, suspense, and overcoming past pain to take a chance on love. My favourite of the series, so far. Bring on Book #3! Happy Reading…

Alam – Review by Angela Hayes
4.5 stars His Forever Muse is a romantic suspense friends to lover’s second chance story. It is the second book in The Echo series. I enjoyed the first book Echoing Hearts so I was looking forward to seeing the secondary characters from the first book get their own story and what this book brought to the series. I fell in love with this book even more. Although this story has some domestic violence themes, which may cause some triggers the author did a good job of not writing it graphically. This heartfelt tale will make your heartache along the way as we watch our female lead find herself in a safe and loving environment that helps her to find herself and her strength once again. There is pain and suffering, angst and fear, tension and suspense and a couple of twists and an unpleasant ex from the past. I look forward to seeing where C.R. Alam takes us next.

This book starts with action right from the very beginning, even during the Prologue you are introduced to Ruarnon, one of our main characters in the book. If you make it a habit of jumping right into the chapters and skipping this section of the book, you will miss so much information! I love how we start out getting to see the point of view of Ruarnon in his time and place, and then into the lives of our other main characters Linh, Fiona, Troy, and Michael in their modern times and home. What a fascinating idea that during a school field trip, the four kids are sent into a different time and place as if by magic to enter Ruarnon’s land and time, right when they are most needed. This book is an amazing fantasy book full of surprising twists and turns and some greatly developed fighting scenes. You will laugh, cry and cheer on our heroes and heroines as they seek to find a passage back to their homes while crossing the path of Ruarnon, the man leading his people to victory.

Klaus and Frost!! This book was good! I appreciate a good family fued mixed in with some romance. The secrets, magic, mystery, and drama, all is just put into one good storyline. However, the jumping around did kind of get me. Nonetheless, I really did enjoy this book. Can’t wait until the next one comes out.

Cry Baby: A Grump Sunshine Slow Burn Romantic Comedy (Pierce Brothers Book 4)
Crying is what I feel like doing knowing I have to say bye to the brothers. I have fallen a little in love with each of them for totally different reasons.
Noah was so hard for me to get any vibes on in the previous books but now I know why. It’s crazy how the brothers were all raised basically the same way but the loss of their Mom impacted them into their adult lives and Noah’s way was to retreat.
Amy is trust into Noah’s life when he desperately needed help. She was there to save the day amongst other things.
I loved seeing Noah progress and evolve throughout the book. He was finally able to move forward after so many years.
I have had the pleasure of reading several books by Ms. Williams and enjoyed every single one. Looking forward to reading more by her in the future. Maybe a spinoff from this series so we can catch up with the boys and their lives???

The Summer I Went Crazy by Laura Koerber is another intriguing story with plenty of thought-provoking content. As always, Ms. Koerber brings realism and complete believability to her story- making you feel like this actually happened. One Summer that will never be forgotten, for many reasons. Forty years later and it still is plays on the mind and soul. Now, can a phone call change everything? The story does have an emotive quality about it, and definitely made me ‘feel’ quite a lot as everything unravelled- it does centre around a crazy summer, and does contain sensitive subject matters, as in rape, which is central to the whole story – but this is ultimately a coming-of-age story- with dubious decisions, drama, angst, guilt, turmoil, emotion, and a first-person POV. This story is a rewrite of Ms. Koerber’s Coyote Summer, but without the fantasy and magical realism. This version is a ‘straight’ up fiction/women’s fiction story- which works really well. It is a bit of a character study too- with the whole coming of age woven through it all. Looking forward to seeing what Ms. Koerber does next.

A great guide to review before you start your rough draft of your book. The author brings up many great points to consider such as timeframe, settings, and styles. Have you considered whether a war is going on during your book, a pandemic, or possibly wherever the automobile has been invented yet? The author talks you through your background information on the book so that once you get in the writing groove, you don’t have to keep stopping. A great resource for a new author or one needing to review basics!

This is an amazing read!! There is a prequel to this book that I suggest you read but you don’t have to in order to dive into this one. Jack and Isaac have off the charts chemistry. It’s been five years since they last saw each other and there is so much they have to say. I was ecstatic when I found out that the author was writing a second generation series. I have loved reading about the Hawkes since the beginning. Jack and Isaac have a lot of feelings and outside problems that they have to work through. This story has action, romance, danger, steamy moments and so much more. Once I started reading I couldn’t put it down until I got to the end. This is a must read you don’t want to miss out on.

I am a sucker for a second chance romance always, and this one did not disappoint. I loved Brandon and Callie’s story. Their feelings go way back to their childhood, but they went their separate ways. Will they ultimately find their way back to each other one day? If fate has anything to do with it they certainly will, never without a few bumps in the road of course.

Right off the bat, this book had my full attention. I loved seeing an LGBT+ main character for the series, especially one so well written! Honestly what really captivated me was the wit of Ruarnon’s personality. There’s a lot of world building in the first chunk of this book, which is to be expected with it being a fantasy trilogy. This is my first book by this author, and I’m really impressed with it! The writing style is very detailed, and reminds me almost of Tolkien’s work. It did take me some time to get through it all, but I really enjoyed it and I do recommend it!

4.5/5 stars This was my first read by this author and it is a good one! Not only is it well written, it’s entertaining as well. It’s a very easy read and perfect for young readers. It touches on many life lessons that a younger reader could learn. Such a fun book!
