Delicious Death (Madame Chalamet Ghost Mysteries Book 2) by Byrd Nash – Review by Karen Pearman

Delicious Death (Madame Chalamet Ghost Mysteries #2)Delicious Death by Byrd Nash
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is book number two in the wonderful Chalamet Ghost Mysteries series and after reading the first book I could not wait to get my hands on this one. Oh, my goodness, IT WAS BETTER THAN THE FIRST BOOK! I could not believe it. I loved that the location changed and that the author managed to develop the main character even more in this story. I could not put this book down. I read this book until the wee hours of the morning because I had to get to the ending. And it was perfect. Please, please, please do yourself a favor and pick up this book to read.

The Taste of Light (The Winemakers Book 2) by Giovanna Siniscalchi – Review by Jennifer Gordon

The Taste of Light (The Winemakers, #2)The Taste of Light by Giovanna Siniscalchi
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Having read and enjoyed the first book in this series I was looking forward to this novel, and I was not disappointed. It can be read as a standalone story, however, I do recommend reading the previous book as it’s so good! Set in Portugal, during 1872, and Pedro Daun is an aristocrat haunted by his sins and his murky past in Mozambique. Pedro shuts himself in his winemaking property, drowning himself in port, having lost his bride to an Englishman. Anne Maxwell moves to the Douro to help her new sister-in-law, but she dreams of finding the perfect man who will love her unconditionally. When Anne and Pedro meet Anne can see that Pedro yearns for love, and Pedro craves her touch, but he does not want her soiled by his past sins and so dose not act like the perfect prince from her dreams.
Things take a dangerous turn when a conspiracy is revealed and a false accusation is made against Pedro, turning the couple into fugitives. As Anne and Pedro try to hide from a treacherous enemy, they also try to prove that Pedro is innocent. The more time the couple spend together, the closer they get and their passion grows. However, for them to have a future, Pedro must forgive himself for his past and let Anne in, and Anne needs to understand that love isn’t like it is in fairy tales. This is a wonderful historical romance with likeable and relatable characters, an amazing setting and an intriguing storyline, all of which kept me hooked throughout. The descriptive narrative brings the stunning scenery vividly to life and the added historical details made me feel immersed in the era. I was taken on an emotional rollercoaster as I followed Anne and Pedro’s epic love story, and I was left thinking about them long after I had finished the last page. An enjoyable and engaging read, which I highly recommend.

This couple meets unexpectedly when Danika walks into her brilliant sister’s strip club owner’s office to protest him tainting her life! Little did she know, he would devastate her with his good looks-and blow her natural mind! Savage holds a secret that will blow Danika’s mind just as much as yours, as the reader, but of course it doesn’t end there. The layers in the first book in this series are enough to fill you up for the full series! Get ready to read a steamy but FULL story about these two!

The Hawke Family Complete Collection by Gwyn McNamee – Review by Barbie England

The Hawke Family Complete CollectionThe Hawke Family Complete Collection by Gwyn McNamee
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is a collection of the six books in The Hawke Family series. Each of them have a unique, but still interconnected story. They need to be read in order. The Hawke family is made up of biological siblings with their partners; also it has members who are adopted in the sense of a found family. They are fiercely loyal to each other, and always focused on the best interests of each individual. Sometimes this leads to angst within the characters who struggle with knowing the choice they want to make might not be what the family members want them to choose. Ms. McNamee does an excellent job of not only building suspense into each book, but also creating a consistent world within. By the time I reached the end of each story, all the questions I had were answered. There is good representation of a person with different abilities. Contained within book 3 are some BDSM descriptions. Of course all of the storyline is awesome, but Ms. McNamee also gets an A+ rating for the spicy parts. The explicit descriptions were just perfection!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This beautiful and twisted story takes place in Portugal in 1780. It is an intoxicatingly slow burn romance with so very many twists and turns.
Julia Costa, a Portuguese Vinter Widow, was left with a huge debt from he late husband, and now she is fighting with everything she has to save her vineyard.
Griffin Maxwell is your typical Victorian English businessman.. A man who feels he is entitled to everything in his path, even a fighting widow’s heart.
I don’t want to give away any spoilers, but I highly suggest you take the time to read this gorgeous story!!

5 Stars! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

This historical romance was fantastic……..this is book 2 in this series and I would recommend reading book 1 first. I can say that while I did enjoy book 1, I loved this book, being 2nd in the series with my every being.

Can I say……I was not happy with Pedro in book 1….not what so ever and never ever in a million years I would end up liking him so much in book 2…..I know get it…..and my heart…. Pedro is haunted by his past and wants love. Pedro truly believe he once had love, but choice in the matter…it did not happen. A chance encounter and ending up on the run, he meets Anne.

Anne… I loved Anne so much and just her being so kind….she is helping her brother and also travels to help the other neighbors understand and learn how to take care of their vines..and an encounter she meets Pedro…and Pedro at first did not take to kind to Anne…and both end up on the run. Why are they running?

Will Pedro and Anne connect and Pedro find what he is looking for?

Chemistry, banter, intensity for sure…..I Loved Pedro and Anne in this story so much!

Well Done!!

Journeys Through Collection: Volumes 1-3 by James Talisman – Review by Erin DeRoma

Journeys Through Collection: Volume 1-3Journeys Through Collection: Volume 1-3 by James Talisman
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I think this is my first multi-verse read ever! I mean I guess I have read books before that touched upon and mentioned multi-verses but never one that I was actively reading throughout multi-verses. This was so up my daughter’s alley, and I couldn’t wait for her to join in on the adventure.

Now Mr. James Talisman, I just need to state this right here and right now, My husband is NOT a reader, we have been together for 20 years and the most I have ever seen him read is captions on video games, I have never seen him pick up a book or even a comic. I started reading this to him and he said for the first time EVER he could envision what was being read to him. So guess what I found him doing one day, reading on my kindle! Happiest day of this readers life! I’m not a writer but if I was I would think this would be the highest compliment.

All 3 books brought a new adventure. I love reading series, I love that there is always a book to grab when you finish the one before, but I often find I really dislike at least one book out of the series. The Journeys through Collection was completely different I thoroughly enjoyed each one.
I hope to read more from James Talisman soon (and I hope to see my husband reading too).

Things are Shaking (Invisible Magic Wand Series) by Lois Wickstrom – Review by Jamie

Things are Shaking is the second book in the Invisible Magic Wand series by Lois Wickstrom. I have always enjoyed reading and how it opens a world of imagination for children. Even as an adult, I wish I could have a magic time-controlling wand to slow down time. When I am enjoying something, it always seems time speeds by at triple speed so, I would love to be able to slow it down some. I can only imagine all the adventures this book can spark for children who use their imagination and pretend that they have magic wands just like in the book.

This book is about how Caspin can use his magic wand to control time. He shows his cousin, Belinda how he can use his wand and she demands a wand. Grandpa gives her one just as an earthquake begins shaking the house. Can Caspin, Belinda, and Grandpa use the wands to get to safety? Find out by reading the book, Things are Shaking!

Throwing the CurveThrowing the Curve by Lauren Fraser
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is sports romance. It is the 2nd book in the Playing For Keeps series. It’s is an enjoyable read. I felt so sorry for Peyton. She starts the story finding out the guy she is dating is a married man and to keep this secret she is forced to pretend she is dating another member of the team Ryan.

Ryan has some preconceived ideas about who he things Peyton is. Namely just a women who threw herself at a famous baseball player just to make herself look good and hes not scared to tell her that.
Even though they hate each other they need to put on a good show to convince everyone they are a happy couple.
But what happens when pretending turns real. When anger and hate turned to attraction and want. Will Ryan see how wrong his impressions of Peyton are or will they continue to fight and push away from each other denying their attraction.

This is a story full of angst, friendship, and finding love when you least expect it.

I must admit this book did not go in the direction I thought it would – the storyline is definitely original and kept me guessing throughout! So really it had a twist of mystery behind it as the characters were gradually built and little tidbits about them were revealed throughout. Jasmine and James have a unique story and one that I enjoyed reading – would recommend!

Delicious Death (Madame Chalamet Ghost Mysteries #2)Delicious Death by Byrd Nash
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I really enjoyed this book. I haven’t read the first one so I did feel like I was missing out on a little bit of the backstory, but it didn’t hinder the story at all. The characters were well developed and there was enough going on to add to the list of suspects in the mystery. I did not have it figured out until the culprit was revealed and was surprised. I enjoyed the spunkiness of Elizabeth and also like her commitment to her independence, especially in that era. I also like that her ability to see and communicate with ghosts wasn’t the only way she could solve a crime. It was an enjoyable read and I look forward to reading the next one (and the first one!). The pacing was good and I really didn’t feel that it bogged down anywhere. I really enjoyed it!

Handle With Care (Chase Care Book 1)Handle With Care by R.L. Dunn
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Dr Hunter Montgomery is heart broken and lost, losing a partner is always hard so when he is promoted in Chase Care to Chief Medical Office, he throws all he has at it, it becomes his life until one night in she comes throwing him off balance and re-evaluating his priorities.

Dr Selma Bryant sees him across the room, the guy who she has loved for years but the timing could not be the worst. Selma has agreed to take an assignment in Africa with Doctors without borders to help the current pandemic which is in full swing there but can she help reduce the virus without anything happening to her.

As things get hairy and Hunter and the team make there way to Africa to help, can they save the camp and Dr Bryant?

I love this author and her brilliant writing and character development. This is a spin off series from Chase Security and although this can be read as a stand-alone series, some characters and history maybe useful from reading the Chase Security but not essential.

I loved that the first book is Hunter’s stories, the way the story develops and unwinds is brilliant to read and will have you turning the pages to see what happens next in this thrilling book. Selma is a perfect Ying to Hunter’s character, and they compliment each other brilliantly, also with their back story you fell like you are in the story and following as a friend rather than a reader.

The twist and turns in this well written story will have you up wanting to read the next chapter and before you know it you are at the end of the book and in a huge emotional wreak. Thank you for adding this series to the Chase family and can’t wait to read more in the future.

Filled with wonderful characters, plenty of heart and some steamy moments this is a book you don’t want to miss. It is the second book in this particular series and can be read on its own and enjoyed but why do that when you could read more from this talented, creative author.
Peyton and Ryan really do not like each other when they first meet but they are then forced into faking a relationship that all too soon starts to feel very real. Neither of them actually wants a relationship which is why it is so much fun seeing them totally fall for each other. No path to true love runs smooth of course and the storyline created in this book is such fun to explore. Some of the side characters really had me wanting to kick their butt! I can’t wait for the next book in this fantastic series.

This book is enchanting! Beautiful title, wonderful writing style, delightful descriptions, unique plot, & charming characters. I especially adored all the entirely lovely comparisons to flowers! There’s just enough suspense to keep you curious & still be a welcome respite from the intensity other suspenseful stories tend to carry. This is the perfect kind of book to bring outside & read on a soft blanket laid out on grass soaked in springtime sunshine. I can’t wait for more of Jessa’s adventures!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I must be honest, I did not read the first book in this series. But trust me, I’m going back and reading it just so I can read “The Taste of Light” all over again!

Pedro is the classic dark, brooding, broken, antihero in the beginning of the story. You don’t know whether or not he will have the ability to get his stuff together. It’s pretty marginal. Anne, on the other hand, is everything light! Pedro spends a considerable amount of time trying to convince her that he is unredeemable. This leads to the most tender, heartbreaking, curse shouting, lovers angst you could imagine! As the reader, I couldn’t decide if I wanted Anne to kiss that man senseless or smother him in his sleep! Sometimes both at the same time, (but in which order???)

The story is amazing and the magnetism the two have is otherworldly. (insert swoon here) Happy Reading! Expect to stay up all night!

This book has several popular tropes rolled into one. Enemies to lovers, second chances, to name a few. Lots of interesting twists and turns and you realize all is not what it seems as you follow Jasmine’s story. She is a hard worker who is giving her business everything she has. There is not time for her own happiness, as her company demands so much from her physically and mentally. Que her “best friend/business partner” who you just can’t help but dislike. She is inconsiderate to Jasmine’s feelings and all about herself. So when Jasmine realizes that the only man to spark a fire inside of her, a complete stranger at the time, is engaged to her bff she is stunned. Then she gets the “honor” of organizing both the engagement party and wedding! Sheesh! Jasmine can’t catch a break, yet, she doesn’t really put her foot down either. What is a girl to do?

Elinor is a strong main character that appears witty and charming. She’s also quite intelligent which comes through quite clearly throughout the story.

My rating: 3 of 5 stars

 

3 Stars

 

Throwing the Curve is the third book in the Playing for Keeps series by Lauren Fraser. It is a contemporary sports romance (baseball) with a bit of an enemies to lovers element, fake dating, finding love unexpectedly, opposites attract, friendship, team dynamics, drama, chemistry, and angst.
This is Ryan and Peyton’s story, and although I liked the premise of the story, it didn’t ‘blow me away’ like I had hoped it would. And as with the last instalment, I thought it was an ok read- again, this just missed the mark or me.
I really had trouble connecting with the characters, and so that prevented me from fully immersing in the story and/or investing in the characters and the outcome of their tale. I have also read similar stories in the past, which made this quite predictable.
But, having said that, if you are looking for a quick and easy sports romance that has just enough angsty drama to keep things moving, then this might be the book for you.
The series contains:
-Too Far (Book #1)
-Everything to Me (Book #2)
-Throwing the Curve (Book #3)
-Sliding Home (Book #4)  (releasing in July 2023)

Happy Reading…

Thank you, Lauren Fraser.

The Taste of Light (The Winemakers, #2)The Taste of Light by Giovanna Siniscalchi
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

After reading the first book in the Winemakers series, The True Purpose of Vines, I was hooked on Giovanna Siniscalchi’s amazing work. This book like the first has a dual perspective, Anne Maxwell, the younger sister of Griffin from book one, and Pedro Daun, who was also first introduced in the first book.
Anne is a kind, sweet and naïve girl in the beginning, looking for her happily ever after. Pedro is in part a villain in the beginning of the book, running from a past that has haunted him for more than a decade. When first meeting Anne knew nothing of who Pedro was but could see something in his eyes that said she found her person. Pedro did the only thing he could do; he took her with him to protect her from the guilt of his past. A wild journey across the country, each fighting their own battles within them while running for their lives. Over the course of this beautifully written book the author immerses the reader in the story, leading the characters to not only enter your heart but to steal it away. Anne shows an unimaginable amount of kindness and an unwavering determination to break down Pedro’s walls and show him love. The way she deals with the violence and takes everything in turn never altering who she is, is admirable. In turn Pedro finds that he not only craves her touch but that she has became his very breath giving him life. When the sins of his past threatens to soil the pureness of her soul.
Will Pedro allow Anne into his heart? How will Anne deal with the truth of his past? Is love truly strong enough to overcome all? Once again, the author builds not only an amazing world, but her characters leap off the page filling your heart with their story. I couldn’t help but route for Pedro and Anne, not only for him to overcome the sins of his past but for Anne to be at his side the entire way. I am officially hooked on Giovanna Siniscalchi, I went too long without her beautiful work. The third book in the Winemakers series, The Truth about Myths comes out September 20th, 2023, and I already have a countdown to see where this world goes next.

The Hawke Family Complete Collection by Gwyn McNamee – Review by Nicole Thompson

I was fortunate enough to experience The Hawke Family Complete Collection by Gwen McNamee, comprising Savage Collision, Tortured Skye, Stone Sober, Building Storm, Tainted Saint, and Steele Resolve. These stories progressed even more impressively as I continued to read. It was a riveting series that had me absolutely hooked, with family drama, intricate relationships, and unexpected twists at every turn. To gain a full appreciation of the intertwined plot line, it is essential to have read all of the preceding volumes in the series.

For those curious, a brief synopsis of each book is provided here:

Savage Collision – Not the usual type of romance, this book offers a thrilling combination of suspense and danger which, coupled with an astounding plot twist, demonstrates the meaning of genuine affection and understanding. But I won’t spoil it here – read it to find out more!

Tortured Skye – With love, drama, laughs, tears, and of course some truly captivating sex scenes, this book was one I simply couldn’t put down. From the moment I opened it, the dynamic between Gabe and Skye had me glued to the pages, waiting in anticipation to see what was coming next. If you haven’t yet read Savage Collision, I highly recommend it so you can properly experience this fascinating story.

Stone Sober – A stunning five-star read, the saga of Stone Hawke’s private challenges. Neither of them can avoid the enchantment they feel for each other, no matter how hard they try. There’s even more that takes place. This book is immensely captivating, brimmed with thrilling actions, and enigmas that can break apart relationships. It was extraordinarily gripping! Gwyn possesses the remarkable power of pulling her readers into the story. She brings you into their world and family in such a vivid manner that it’s almost like being a witness to the events firsthand.

Building Storm – I am endlessly astonished by the remarkable ability of authors to continually create stories of such exquisite quality and complexity, repeatedly. An indomitable attraction binds the characters to one another, but their relationship is nothing more than a mental and emotional connection. I’m enthralled by the way they attempt to deceive us. Even though they deny it, they will ultimately discover the contentment they both seek. I will never allow it to be any other way! The more they resist, the more inescapable the outcome.

Tainted Saint – This love story is so engrossing, it’s almost as if I can feel the heat coming off the page while reading the exchanges between the characters! I am utterly captivated by this family’s tale and the way it concluded has left me yearning for more. As with the prior novels, there are some highly sensual moments and an unwavering emotional core.

Steele Resolve – It would be an immense mistake to not read these stories in sequence; they are simply that outstanding! It’s like a flower, the individual petals being captivating and compelling, but together creating something majestic. This tale is a profoundly affecting romance between two men, but its impact transcends physical attraction; its message lingers long after the final page has been turned. It’s an adventure that will keep you entertained and enriched.

Married Blind (Kings of Screen, #2)Married Blind by Morgana Bevan
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Abi is pretty deep in debt due to her sister’s cancer diagnosis. Unsure of how to pay all these bills, a friend suggests to Abi to apply for the Married Blind television show. Abi thinks about and decides she really has nothing to lose. For 3 months she is going to hang out with a complete stranger who she’ll be married too. However, should she choose, she can walk away at the end and still get paid.

Finn is a television celebrity who’s had his share of scandal and controversy. The solution to repairing his reputation, according to his agent, is to secretly join the show Married Blind and get married. They’ll keep things on the down low while the show is taping and then once they’ve had time to get to know each other somewhat, they can go public. Finn’s not the least bit thrilled with this idea but knows he needs to do something to save his career.

Is it love at first sight? The attraction is there but not sure one could say it was love. Join Finn and Abi as they learn to be husband and wife while just meeting for the first time at the alter. Bonus feature is that Finn is Irish and his friends are all European. The author is also British and uses language from that part of the world. I learned a few new terms! This book is spicy and full of a story of love and redemption.
