Happy to stumble upon this gem. As soon as I read de description of the book I was hooked. This is book 4 of the series but it could be read as a standalone. I was happy to see how the romance developed. Once you get a taste of the story you will be unable to put it down. This book is definitely worth your time.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The first full novel for the second generation did not disappoint. The number of twists and turns made this a fast-paced exciting book. I do recommend reading the prequel to this book first as it makes each revelation all the more shocking. I loved how action-packed this book was while maintaining an air of sexiness. I also enjoyed seeing how the first generation grew up and continued to work together, all while still embracing those that are blood and those that are not. Proof that even the mob can not keep this family from keeping each other safe. I’m ready for the next book, especially with the final sentence

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I had never read anything by this author before I picked up Chatroom with a View so I wasn’t sure what I was getting myself into but the synopsis really drew me in. As a fan of psychological thrillers, this book really piqued and kept my interest. Chatroom with a view was a dark rollercoaster ride with a strong storyline. The characters had depth and the feelings you have toward them shifts throughout the book. I felt like this was one of those novels that has you second guessing your thoughts and feelings and while entertaining, the book really did play into my emotions. I would definitely recommend this book and will be looking into more books by this author.

Extremely short but existing book. I wish it was a little longer and that’s why it gets 4 stars. As always this member of the Hawke Family will take you on a rollercoaster of emotions.

This was a good 5 star read. I was excited to read this rockstar romance. You could feel the chemistry between Adam and Cristy coming off the pages. When Cristy goes on tour with Adam and his band things get very interesting. As he gets to know her more, Adam feels himself falling for her. They connect on some deep levels with their history. We get several twists and turns, my emotions were all over the place. Will these two get a HEA? The author does a great job with her writing and pulls you right in. I look forward to reading more from this author and series. 1-click and get started today.

Shameless Love (The Bennetts of Langston Falls, #2)Shameless Love by K.G. Fletcher
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This was my first book from this author, but I am absolutely looking forward to reading her previous and future works. Overall I found this to be a very sweet and sexy romance novel with some suspense twisted within the story. Elyse and Walt were electric from the start and their chemistry was palatable from the moment they saw each other. I loved the secondary story line regarding his sister Becky’s online cooking show which helped bring them together. I thought Becky was a wonderful character and absolutely enhanced the story. The Bennetts of Langston Falls is definitely a wonderful series and I can’t wait to see what happens to the rest of the family. It’s an easy read that kept me reading straight through until the final page.

Savage Start is a short prequel (55 pages) to the Hidden Valley Elite series. You are introduced to Riley and Cole, our FMC and MMC. Riley comes from a grifter/con artist life and, while she wants to have a calm, stay in one place lifestyle, she is always ready and waiting to do what needs to be done to survive. Cole comes from a wealthy background where all that glitters is definitely not gold. These two meet at a party and sparks fly leaving them and the reader on a cliffhanger that makes you want to jump straight into the first full length novel. March 30th cannot come soon enough.

I have come to really enjoy reading about the Hawke’s. The Hawke’s have always been about protecting their family, their legacy and this book was no different. Isaac is no different when it comes to being a protector, but when a blast from the past shows up with a child in tow that could only mean one thing. He knows from the moment he looks into her eyes that she is his and he will do whatever ot takes to keep her safe. But why has Jack shown up out of the blue after all these years? If you want to find out whether there is a happily ever after for these two you will have to read the book to find out. You won’t be disappointed.

What was meant to be a one night stand has turned into something much more. When they get trapped together during a snowstorm they are learning more about one another and falling in love in the process. While Walt is a country boy, Elyse is a girl who can’t be torn from the concrete jungle. Will their lifestyle choices be too much for them to over look and give a relationship a shot? I enjoyed this book just as much as the first one. Although this is part of a series you can read it as a standalone.

Ruthless Hawke (The Hawke Family Second Generation Book 1)Ruthless Hawke by Gwyn McNamee
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

First of all, let me say that I absolutely loved Night Hawke, which was the prequel to Ruthless Hawke. It definitely starts the series off on the right (steamy) page, so if you haven’t read that one yet, pick it up! I love the entire Hawke family and this one is no different. Gwyn McNamee has such an extraordinary way of grabbing your attention, making you speed through the book without realizing it. The amount of natural chemistry pulls you in and feels more like being a part of the story instead of just looking from the outside in. I HIGHLY recommend this book as well as anything else Gwyn writes because her talent is just incredibly powerful. They have never disappointed me yet!

I found this book to be incredibly relatable and felt like I was walking along Emily through the story. She’s an introvert who feels awkward, never finding her place to fit into. I think we have all been at the place in our life where we don’t answer “How are you” with a genuine answer, but a smile and avoid any real emotion. Emily feels like she doesn’t fit in and has been on a long road to self-love. I’ve never read anything by this author before, but I’m so glad I picked this one up. I recommend it highly and am looking forward to other adventures from Christine Bernard!

I was very excited for this book, so I ended up reading it not realizing it was so far into the series. I didn’t really feel lost which was helpful for me, but after getting sucked into it now I am definitely grabbing the first three books in The Balefire series! This is steamy, mysterious, entertaining and did I say steamy? Adam and Cristy have chemistry that jumps right off the page, but will it build into something more or just stay a spark? After all the truths are revealed, you’ll have to read to find out. I won’t give anything away, but I highly recommend picking Hot For Me up (as well as the rest of the series!) I’m picking up books 1-3 now and will be following this author closely to see what else they have in store!

I love rockstar romance, and this book delivers. Adam is the bassist for the rock band Balefire. Christy is the pop star who joins their tour. Adam and Christy have immediate chemistry and flirt up a storm. There are things from the past that appear and how each handles it will determine their future. I really liked Adam and Christy and enjoyed their story a lot.

I just knew it had to be amazing and it in no way disappointed! I was completely hooked from the very first sentence until the very last word and I stayed up half the night to finish it because I simply could not Put it down. The chemistry between Issac and Mina (Jack) is indescribable and right from the start you want everything to work out for them. There are some great twists in the storyline that will keep you turning page after page and all the characters will tunnel into your heart.

The Exchange: A NovelThe Exchange: A Novel by Nadija Mujagic
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Haunting. Bizarre. Suspenseful. Twisted. Tormenting. Sad. Hollow.

These are a few words to describe this novel as well as how it left me feeling at the end. This one will grip you from the first page and leave you possibly doing a happy dance and throwing a victory fist in the end.

Samantha “Sam” has had enough of her mother and living in New Mexico. Her sights are set on the big lights of California and the dream of becoming a well-known actress. Once she gets confirmation of an audition, Sam sets the wheels in motion to find an apartment and get herself out to California. When the audition doesn’t go as planned, Sam looks for work and has to look no further than a local coffee shop. She’s given a warning the first day of work to never be late and has no intentions of doing so. Her co-worker Michael is giving her some weird vibes and her boss…well he’s a bit of a creep but he’s given her an opportunity to work while looking for her big break.

Then Corey enters her life. He has a nice car, a huge house with a pool, and seems to be on the right track in life. Afterall, he has a friend who is going to introduce Sam to the right people and get her the auditions she’s been after. Corey isn’t around much though. He’s flying important people all around the world.

Things start to get weird for Sam and she finds out she’s pregnant, although she doesn’t remember doing anything that would cause that for her. That’s when Corey drops the bomb on her that she’s to exchange her baby for her acting career. Sam starts to find out that she really can’t trust anyone she knows and something isn’t sure she should trust herself.

This book isn’t going to be for everyone. There are several issues that could be triggers for certain people. I did find this book enjoyable though and was a bit intrigued as to how it all happened right up until the very end. There were parts of the story that did seem to drag some but overall, a recommended read.

This is the second book in the Langston Falls series and we follow Walt! This was such a great second book in the series. I do recommend reading the books in order so you can know the back story to the characters. Walt is still young and has a lot to learn but when he meets Elyse he is instantly attracted to her. Elyse being attracted to him finds ways to spend more time with him. Of course what would any romance be without bumps in the road. This book leads so seamlessly into the third book.

Shameless Love: A Small Town Opposites Attract Romance is the second book in The Bennetts of Langston Falls series. Walt is the brother who is fierce and will do anything to take care of those he loves. Elyse is a television producer who is helping his sister Becky find more success. This is a definite opposites attract story with sultry flames attached. I was excited to learn more about Walt after his introduction in the first book of the series and was not disappointed. Also, this can easily be read as a standalone book (but read the first one). I enjoyed the character of Elyse and how she became involved with the Bennett family. The tension between Walt and her was great. I look forward to the next book in this series and getting to know the Bennett’s a bit more.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Straight for the Kill is the third book in the Benoit and Dayne Mystery series. This can easily be read without having read the first two books in the series. The author gives enough background, so I did not feel lost with the different characters or the situations that arose. I enjoyed reading about Sheriff Elizabeth Benoit and Deputy Detective Lila Dayne. This was an interesting mystery because it not only contained a case from 25 years in the past for the characters but also a current case. I liked how the cases were personal for Benoit and how smart and well-thought-out they worked the different cases. This book kept me reading, and I look forward to catching up in this series to learn more about Benoit and Dayne. If you like a good mystery and topical topics such as corruption in your mystery, this is a great book to grab.

So you are not good with graphics or the marketing part, there is a group of different companies you can contact. She gives contact information and breaks down what services each company can offer.

This book is a great mix of historical romance and fantasy. It is a fairly exciting story and I found myself drawn to it. It is a pretty fast paced story, and once I had started reading it I found it hard to stop. I thought the characters were brilliant. Anna was such a strong character. For me, she carried so much of the book and it was her that kept me reading.
This is a pretty new author to me and I am still getting used to her writing style. I loved that she combined these two genres and she did it so well. There was some strong development throughout the story and it just made the book even better. I am very much looking for book two.

Creatures of the NightCreatures of the Night by C.A. King
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Beware of the darkness, of the mist, of the creatures of the night!
C.A King’s Creatures of the Night is another unique dystopian urban fantasy with paranormal and sci-fi elements. Something for everyone even a little romance. C.L. is an eclectic writer whose stories are original and set your imagination into overdrive. I love dark stories where you heart is pumping and the fear is palpable best and C.L. does that with her well written and richly vivid stories and extraordinary characters/creatures. It will show you that there are things that go bump in the night in her world.
Zoe is well used to danger fighting alongside with family to rid the world of the threat of creatures of the night, of monsters, of demons and of the black mist. But what happens when she stumbles on something that may just change the path she can take and have her believing that not all monsters are the same.
With action and adventure, witches and hunters, magic and danger, angst and drama this story is for everyone who love dark paranormal and thrilling tales.
I look forward to seeing what else goes on in the darkness.
