Doctor D’s Orderly Affair (Doctors of Eastport General) by C.A. King – Review by Jacque Flynn

Doctor D's Orderly AffairDoctor D’s Orderly Affair by C.A. King
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Dr. Desmond Danielson gets a naughty reputation as a one-night stand kind of man and the gossip is non-stop about Dr. D at the hospital where he works. Emily works as an orderly at the same hospital while attending school for nursing. The chapters skip between the two perspectives, and we get to know and like the characters well, even though they don’t spend a lot of time interacting with each other. While the setting is at a hospital, there isn’t any medical terminology, just lots of gossip and some coffee jargon. I would have enjoyed reading more, especially some more interaction between Dr. D and Emily, but this was a quick read with a happily ever after.

Road Rage (OUTLAW, #4)Road Rage by Karina Kantas
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Motorcycle clubs are a tough life choice for women apparently. I know nothing about motorcycles, but the bikes described sounded extreme. Gemma made bad choices and had a lot of bad things happen to her. Yet, she’s still kind hearted, has a strong will and is protective of her loved ones. I’m so happy she was able to finally find someone to help her get through it and give her a happy ending.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Aranha, a webmaker, spends 200 hundred years running and hiding just trying to survive. She rescues Jonah, a werewolf, and becomes a mother. She meets Dag, a daywalker, and the temperature gets turned way up. This book was original and had an interesting spin on the paranormal with the Garden of Eden being the beginning of all things. Aranha is strong and kind despite being a natural predator. I really enjoyed this book and couldn’t put it down from start to finish.

A Hundred Wishes (Band of Sisters)A Hundred Wishes by Marianne Rice
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

A heartfelt and steamy coming together between a fire investigator and an injured soldier. With many obstacles to overcome, Gina and Bryce, tackle them together with more time spent in lust than in conversation. Everyone seems to work as hard as they play, and the group of friends coming together would be a fun group to spend time with anywhere. This book is so touching because we know that Gina is not alone, and terrible things happen. She has a great group of friends to help her through her trials and Bryce is worth helping him figure out his stuff as well.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Opposites do more than attract in this steamy romance, they explode in heat! Despite her tiny size, it’s a good thing Leslie is a firefighter. Reading what she goes through makes me want to fight for women’s rights. Trevor is more than a football player, he’s a man among men. Supportive, sexy, and three times the size of Leslie. Whether he’s sacking a quarterback or dancing in ballet tights, he’s a man all women would like to spend time with. I don’t know football, but I had no problem following the plot in this sizzler.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Elena rejoins her Mafia family; Marco claims her and immediately has his hands full. Elena was trained since birth to survive and four years of independence isn’t going to end with a Mafia wedding. While each book can be read individually, reading the series has been a pleasure and I enjoy each one more than the last one. Just when I thought Elena and the ladies had taken care of business and we were at “happily ever after” a surprise twist leaves my mouth hanging open and my fingers anxiously turning pages. The Mafia men are strong and sexy, but it’s the women that really make this an enjoyable read. Every book has me looking for a glass of wine to join the gals and this one is no exception!

The next step is bringing Elena back into the fold and I can’t wait to find out what it is about her that’s so special and why she’s been a target for so long. Bring on the next book in this awesome series!

No Way Out (Mafia Elite, #1)No Way Out by Amy McKinley
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Five mafia families making up and ruling the city. Friends, family, and enemies all collide in this book. Lil and Max, who hid his identity from the Mafia, as Matt for much of the book, are a great couple with some crappy dads and a complicated past. I love Lil and her friends, also members of the Mafia family. Just them getting dressed is fun to read as you figure out how many weapons the girls can hide in how many pieces of clothing and accessories. Some steamy scenes between Lil and Max and some Mafia mayhem made this book impossible to put down.

Sinful Vow (Dark Mafia Sins, #0.5)Sinful Vow by Emily Bowie
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Aly meets Luca when she is 16 years old, and he is already a killer in the Italian Mafia. Romeo and Juliet are referenced and it’s accurate in saying that their two families hate each other, and blood will be spilt. We get to see Aly grow up and make choices that no woman should ever have to make. Family or Love? She’s not the only one that has to make that choice by the time the book is finished. A few twists of fate, bad decisions and some unpredictable moments had me turning pages eagerly to see what comes next.

Theodore's RingTheodore’s Ring by Stacy-Deanne
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Not the triangle romance I was expecting, I went through the book wanting to slap every single man including Lydia’s boyfriend Cam. After Cam gets kidnapped, it’s Lydia that has to come to the rescue. Trekking through the jungle and searching for a hidden ring, I’m not sure what’s more dangerous: the perils of the jungle or the men in the jungle. She is a strong woman, and despite a few errors in judgment, she’s a woman men want and women want to be. An interesting plot keeps the pages turning and an incident with a snake will be keeping me out of any and all jungles.

Blindsided: A Contemporary Sports RomanceBlindsided: A Contemporary Sports Romance by T. Christensen
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Kirsa spends three years the victim of brutal abuse from her peers with no support from her parents or the school. While her relationship with Rylan is what starts her healing, her relationship with Brock is a myriad of emotions. Whether you like Brock or not, the author writes with such strong language that you can’t help but feel those strong emotions. I spent the entire book wanting to scream at the lack of support system for Kirsa and I kept wondering how the poor girl will heal without years of therapy. She used football to keep her sane and there are many football references throughout the book, though the majority of the book is the relationship between Brock and Kirsa.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

My favorite book in the series so far and I couldn’t put it down! I love Angel with all her spunk and attitude. I laughed as I could see her drinking and dancing with her new friends much to the Masters’ dismay. Trentino is another hot Master bent on saving the vampire race from traitors as well as protecting his newfound mate. Not only is this one a page turner, but the surprise traitor will throw you for a loop! I look forward to seeing how the characters develop in their relationships both with their mates but also with their friends in the next book.

Master Tuscano: Dark Vampire Romance (Masters of the Consulate Book 2)Master Tuscano: Dark Vampire Romance by Sylvia Black
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I have never read a book that started in the middle of the relationship. It was such a fresh and exciting perspective. We get to see how Christian and Delilah figure out how to deal with their love against all odds. They have a past, and we get a chance to watch them work through issues while dealing with vampire opposition and a battle for power between species. Another domineering and sexy vampire master, the book begins right where the first one left off and changes perspective. I’m glad I read the first book before starting this one, so I had more background of what was happening. Start with the first book and you won’t want to stop!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Master Descallia is domineering, sexy, and a shoulder full of responsibility. Meeting Officer Luce and watching their relationship develop had me eagerly turning pages. On top of which, they’re trying to save a group of human women and navigate a hostile relationship between vampire and human worlds. I wouldn’t want to wear the Master’s rings if I read where they went correctly, but it was holy hot to read and I’m totally ready to dive into Book 2 to see what else develops for the Consulate Masters.

King of Pain (Interstellar Rescue Series Book 5)King of Pain by Donna S. Frelick
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The fifth Interstellar Rescue Book in a series, this is the first book I’ve read by this author. She has characters battling conditions, both mental and physical, while defending people against genocide. Constantly surprised in my predictions of what I thought would happen, this book left me feeling pleasantly surprised. Frelick using other-word language had me wishing for a Thrane dictionary to figure out which endearment was actually being used. She also had me feeling cold with such descriptive scenes of blizzard conditions. I would recommend reading this book with a cup of hot cocoa or in the tub, but it’s definitely worth it.
