The Husbands by Naomi Valkyrie – Review by Rosanna Ingram

The HusbandsThe Husbands by Naomi Valkyrie
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Dorian and Augustine are both in Hawaii for their respective jobs when their paths cross. As they are dealing with aftermath of the mistake that has brought them together, they are forced to face their growing feelings for each other. With each of them being married, they decide to part ways.

Years later, after both have moved for their original states, their wives become friends. As they are keeping their feelings hidden while their wives become close, it is only a matter of time before their secrets start to come out. And as they do, there is not telling who will end up hurt. Is there a way for it all to work out?

This was a quick read that I found to be quite interesting. It really focused on the feelings between Dorian and Augustine…and there are a lot. Love, fear, angst, guilt…all those feelings are there. But, once they are all acted upon, will they be hurting others around them? Or continue hurting themselves by keeping them hidden? I found myself emotionally attached to their situation and felt the pain as all the secrets started to unravel. Overall, a good story that I enjoyed reading!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This collection was absolutely amazing, that I couldn’t put them down I read all of them in a row. The depth this author wrote the story, and the characters was just phenomenal that I thought I was right there in the story and know the characters on a personal level. All these books were compelling and intriguing, filled with suspense, steamy romance and action-packed not only is there friendship, love and the way the family comes together when needed. Highly recommend these, you might not sleep until you’ve read them all, but its worth it.

A Dowry of Snails and Mud by Brittany Tucker – Review by Amanda Haller-Doris

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This was such a fun and unique book to read. I wasn’t sure what to expect with a title including snails and mud, but I was pleasantly surprised to read such a sweet and entertaining story. I loved how unique Rhiannon is and how her character continues to develop and grow as the story continued. Prince Emerys is seen as a delicate fellow, but he definitely blossoms during his marriage to Rhi and we start to see the strength in his character. I am always a sucker for a good enemies to lovers story and this one did not disappoint. It was a quick read, but definitely a well written one. I am excited to see more stories from the author.

I can’t stand snails, so, of course the title captured my imagination. An arranged marriage, and a vengeful, petty bride. The heroine (for that is what the bride grows into) reminds me of my own pettiness. Themes explored include twinship and kinship, along with kindness and solidarity. The author has quite skillfully trapped me within the web of her creation.

WOW!!! This book is an action-packed, romantic, easy-to-read Mafia-based story. It’s about the war between two families, and the love of Dom and Emilia. There is always something happening that keeps the story going and on your toes for what will happen next. I highly recommend this book!

The Husbands
By: Naomi Valkyrie

This book was not my usual fare. It delved into topics that I don’t necessarily avoid, but that I don’t go out of my way to seek out. Lately, I have been expanding what I am trying to read and boy am I glad that I did. This book is such a great blend of genres – it touches on the job of assassins, then it goes deep into romance and then touches into polyamory. I truly enjoyed this book because I definitely didn’t know what to expect so I had an empty mind. I truly enjoyed how this book really explored how one untruth can cause a massive ripple effect. This wasn’t the main focus of the book, but I saw how it really resonated throughout. Because of Dorian’s original lie the entire book had many twists and turns and many others were impacted. I love how there was a real reaction to the men and their indiscretion – if you can even call that it. It wasn’t a blow up, but rather it is what I would view as a real reaction – a request for space and time. I definitely recommend this book, especially for those who want a change of pace and a book that is guaranteed not to disappoint.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I really love finding new authors and also series. This is the first book I have read in this series although I know it is the second one by this author. I really like how the storyline is not predictable and keeps you on your toes. The interaction between the characters is great and how the story builds. I find it has a good mix of drama and romance. The sort of unexpected love mood really gives the edge to the book. I look forward to reading more from this author and the series.

The HusbandsThe Husbands by Naomi Valkyrie
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This was an enjoyable and engaging MM romance which had me hooked from start to finish. The intriguing storyline and wonderful characters, in this fairly short read, made this a book that I had trouble putting down. Dorian and Augustine are brought together one night by an assassin who made a terrible mistake. As the men struggle in the aftermath, they begin to develop feelings for each other, however, they are both happily married and so decide to stay away from one another. Although they are both broken hearted they are determined to move on with their lives, after all they will never see each other again.
Wrong, three years later and Dorian and Augustine are shocked when their wives become friends and the men are introduced. Of course they can’t acknowledge what they mean to each other, but they also can’t deny their feelings and now that they are in each other’s lives again, thanks to their wives, it’s even more difficult to ignore their connection. The descriptive narrative brought both the setting and characters vividly to life, and made me feel immersed in the story. I was kept happily turning the pages wondering how it was going to end, no spoilers, but I definitely recommend reading this page turner of a book.

It felt like it had been far too long since I had read a new book by this author so I was beyond excited to get my hands on this one. I knew from experience to set aside enough time to read this book in one sitting because I wouldn’t be able to put it down, which is exactly what happened! I loved the characters in this book. Dorian and Augustine were absolutely perfect together. They made the book so interesting.
The overall premise of the book was fantastic as well. It was well written, exciting and just what I was looking for when I picked up this book. This author really has become one of my favourites and I cannot wait to read even more of her work.

On the other hand, Max has been missing Ginny and doing all he can to put his love for her into the diner.

Whispers in the Waters (Blood of the Fae) by Sarah Chilson – Review by Desiree Ottinger

Whispers in the WatersWhispers in the Waters by Sarah Chislon
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Jessa is the youngest daughter of a widowed father, who has his sister filling the void of mother for his daughters. Growing up, Jessa is inexplicably drawn to plants and flowers. They seem to want to sing to her, but her father has strictly forbidden her from pursuing such thoughts as it could lead to being “fae-touched”. People who are “fae-touched” are turned over to the Vigil, who in turn take them away to some unknown place. When her aunt is summoned to help a friend in a border town, Jessa jumps at the chance to leave their quiet town for the opportunity to sketch other plants and protect her aunt. However, she finds it harder and harder to block out the whispers as she is drawn into a mystery that must be solved before the wrong person is blamed. Can she keep the whispers at bay? Or will she find that she must embrace the whispers to solve the issue at hand?

I really enjoyed reading this book. The characters were well written, and the story moved along at a good pace. It was interesting to read how Jessa worked through her struggles and found herself in the process of solving the mystery. There is more to her story then the author let the reader in on and several questions left unanswered in regard to her family. I am looking forward to reading more about Jessa’s story!

Madame Chalamet converses with the dead. She is a professional ghost talker, one who belongs to a society of repute in the ghost talking business, and consults regularly with the gendarme, officers of the law. She does not partake in the dog and pony show by which fraudulent Ghost Talkers swindle the wealthy.
It is by her police consulting that Elinor Chalamet finds herself under house arrest with the Duke de Archembeau while dead man is identified as a relative of the Crown and items of political importance are discovered missing

This novel was absolutely riveting- various storylines interwoven with commonalities turned the pages quickly. I look forward to many more Madame Chalamet Ghost Mysteries!

The Husbands by Naomi Valkyrie – Review by Karyn Taylor

The HusbandsThe Husbands by Naomi Valkyrie
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is a really good contemporary romance from an author who is new to me. This author usually writes paranormal romance so this was a first for them too, a new genre/trope. For a first go at writing something new and different, I can honestly say that the author has done a really good job and would do well to write more in this genre in addition to their usual.
Dorian and Augustine are brought together as a result of an assassination attempt gone wrong. While helping Augustine to recover, a strong attachment is forged between the two men, however, both men are happily married to beautiful wives that they adore. So what do they do with the growing attraction they have to each other?
To answer that question here would result in giving spoilers which I am not going to do. I wouldn’t want to spoil this story for another reader. I would encourage them to give this book a try and find the answer for themselves. In doing so you will find a well written story that flows well and keeps you engaged throughout.
I would recommend this book.

What a wonderful story! The writing is smooth and moves along at a great pace. I was easily drawn into the story and characters. I eagerly looked forward to picking this up every night and diving back in to Jasmine’s life wondering what was going to happen next. All the characters are well done. I liked some and others I could hardly stand. Which is as it should be.

A fun, comical Young Adult read. This YA opposites attract (historical-ish) romance will not disappoint. I really appreciated the characters and their dynamics. I currently read an enemies into lovers adult read and I truly appreciate this one quite a bit more. This was a quick easy read and one I certainly will share with my daughter. This is my first read by Tucker, and makes sense since this is her first book, but I will certainly be looking out for more from Tucker, hopefully in the near future.

This book is the prequel to the series. I could not put this book down and can’t wait to read more of the series. I don’t often read novellas because I feel like it ends just as I get into it but I’m glad I made an exception!

One night, no names. Should be an easy agreement, until it’s not. This book did not disappoint with the hotness. The characters are well written, it’s steamy, what more could you want. I am really looking forward to reading more.

This book is book two of the series. This book can be read as a standalone. I didn’t read any other books in the series before diving into this one and didn’t feel like I missed too much. I will be going back though because it was just that good.

Abi is working three jobs and is barely above water at this point. She doesn’t have time for anything let alone to find the man of her dreams. The reality tv ad might seem a little crazy but what does she have to lose at this point. Finn needs to clean up his image. What a better way then to show the world a dedicated husband. Finn isn’t happy about it but he doesn’t have much of a choice. That is until he meets Abi. Did they have to find the perfect girl for him? However, these two need to drop their walls or they may lose everything.

I really enjoyed this book. It was well written. The characters are great. The banter is funny. I definitely recommend!

This is a well written read and I really enjoyed this book.

I love a great short read. This had my attention from the very start! James has a secret, an arrangement. Jasmine thinks he’s full of crap. What she doesn’t know is that James will be someone she never thought he was capable of. This book has drama and betrayal but it also has romance and forgiveness. The characters are loveable but there’s characters that will irritate your soul. All characters can’t be great right? That’s what makes an amazing story! This book had me feeling all kinds of emotions while reading…love, laughter, anger, frustration. I felt it all. And that’s what I look for in a book..I want to feel it all! I highly recommend this!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This was an enjoyable steamy romance read. I loved the characters. Each of them have a story which was interesting to uncover . I especially love Stella. She is a strong and feisty woman who won’t let anyone stop her dreams of being a fashion designer and she is prepared to do anything to make that happen.
Even if it means becoming a nanny for her handsome stepbrother. Despite the attraction she feels she knows this is her one chance to make her dreams to come true. Besides it’s only for a month what could go wrong?

This is a story full of passion and attraction. Not only between Stella and her stepbrother Charles but also his 2 friends Alex and Jordan. But what happens when the month is over and reality hits. They can all go back to their normal lives right? Boy how wrong they all are.

Sharing his nanny was a good read. I admit I’m not one who reads m/m books. I love books with heat and thought I’d give this book a shot. Charles, Alex and Jordan have been best friends for years. They always spend 1 month a year at the beach house where anything goes. This year, Charles finds out he has a 4 month old daughter and Stella is hired to be her nanny. While Stella cares for Gia, she is spending time with Jordan and Alex. Both really
Seem to care for Stella. She has been dealt
A horrible Hand and has been having a string of bad luck. Between her ex James, stuff with her dad and her step-monster but between Charles, Jordan and Alex they vow to make everything better. Will the 4 of them defy the odds. Will they be able to overcome everything getting in the way? I have to admit being a nanny myself, I couldn’t resist this steamy deliciously scandalous read!

This story kind of kind of felt like a modern Cinderella. We had the wicked stepmother and not only 1 prince, but 3. Stella is just trying to make her life work. It falls apart but she does falls into a dreamy situation. I found this to be an okay story. It’s very steamy. The story was good. I do love it when bad boys get their comeuppance and the good girl wins her dreams. Her struggle is real and the story does a wonderful job of showing it. It’s a good romance for those that love reverse harem romances.

The only thing that kept this from getting five solid stars was the fact that it ended way too soon. There is a LOT of steamy hot sex in this book, but I was definitely drawn to the internal monologue that was being had by both of the Main Characters. I am truly intrigued as to WHO “Jack” really is. The things divulged in this Novella are both intriguing and leave you wanting to know oh so much more. I cannot wait for this spinoff from McNamee’s original series.

I’m a big believer in 2nd chances (if deserved). I really liked the lost love and finding it again aspect of the story. Ginny & Max are very lovable characters.

Sharing His Nanny (Forever Our Girl Book 2) by Tori Chase
Genre – BBW, Erotica, Romance
Page Count – 340
Cover Designer – Bookin’ It Designs

A billionaire, a lawyer, and a personal trainer walk into a Malibu beach house with a four-month-old baby…and no idea what to do. Sounds like a story you’ve heard before, right?

Add a curvy nanny they can’t keep their hands off and a summer vacation goes from sunny to scorching.

Stella:

I’m an up-and-coming plus-sized designer who gets strong-armed into playing nanny for a month so I’ll have enough money to put my fashion line into production. Sounds like an easy plan.

Only, the dad of that baby is my first crush. The star of my late-night fantasies beneath the sheets. The guy who never noticed I was alive.

Charles Harlow. Older. Rich as sin. Sex on a stick. And my step-brother.

I can handle this. One month caring for an adorable baby and my money troubles will be solved.

It’s living with three chiseled alphas that might be my downfall. Especially when innocent flirting with Jordan and Alex turns into nights of pleasure at their rough hands.

All while my employer…my step-brother…watches us with the look of a predator. He’s hungry for me too, but keeps his distance.

I’m the nanny. The hired help. The forbidden little sister. The longer Charles resists, the more explosive it will be when we give into our taboo desires.

One month… I’ll have my money to launch my fashion line and we’ll all go back to our lives as if none of this ever happened, right?
