Finn McCarthy needed to do the reality show to salvage his professional image. Abigail Johnson was working three jobs to help pay for her sister’s medical bills. What could possibly go wrong with marrying a complete stranger and the next three months together being filmed for the world to watch? An entertaining read that I highly recommend.

This was a really great medieval tale! The female lead is strong without tragedy, and the male lead doesn’t have that “Prince Charming” attitude where you want to reach into the novel and slap him. Through the novel we get to see so much character growth without it being shoved in your face and lots of characters that aren’t what they seem. The world building is beautifully done and the adversity of the situation is done so well without bogging down the story in a constant feeling of depression! This is just an all-around tale written so well I put it on par with the likes of Tamorah Pierce. I think this one should be that book people will talk about and recommend to all their friends with teens and pre-teens, or even adults just looking for a feel-good read!

Six books in this amazing collection, and every book was better than the last. Needless to say after reading the first book in this collection I was thrilled that I had five more to read. Full of the mob, romance, suspense and of course murder I just simply couldn’t put this collection of books down. While each book is completely different from the previous one, the characters all play strong roles in the whole collection. I will state that when I first picked up this collection it was because of the breath taking front cover. But upon reading the first chapter I knew right away I was in for an amazing ride. So if you’re looking for your next read make sure you pick this one up today.
I could see this book as a movie. It was so good that I honestly could not put it down and read it in a day! I just had to know what happened next!
Angie and 3 of her friends are celebrating spring break when it turns deadly. Angie is the only survivor and is running for her life! With the help of the FBI and a therapy dog she finds her voice again and they are able to find the kidnapper/killer and discover so much more.
With the help of the therapy dog and of course Angie’s determination to survive they uncover dozens of girls who have been taken.
This book reminds you to teach your loved ones some safety techniques and not just women. Angie’s father was smart in giving her some actual tools to keep handy if she needed them for her car but to also remind her that they could be used for other things as well. This very well saved her life!
Grab this book and read it for the rest of the story and be prepared to stay on your toes while reading it!

This the first novella I have read by Sara Chislon. I was not disappointed with this one. In this novella the world building and character building was well written. You will get to see what Jessa has started and what is to come in the upcoming story. This novella takes you back to another world with the Victoriana times wording but not so much you can’t understand it. I can’t wait gto see where this author goes with this story.

Have you ever had a crush on someone for quite awhile from afar? Saint was at the BDSM club masquerade party the same night that Caroline dragged Storm to go with her. Saint knew Caroline when he saw her even with a mask on. Saint finally gets the nerve to do something about this crush and takes Caroline to a private room in the club. Caroline is carefree and willing to have a great time with the illusion that Saint has no idea who she is and that it will never happen again.
Caroline is bored getting fluff pieces to write about at work and decides she is going to investigate the new crime boss in the city. She wants to ensure the Hawkes’ safety and advance at work.
When Saint finds out, all heck breaks loose. This is a shorter story but will keep your attention from beginning to end.

This is book 2 and continues with the Larussio family going up against the De Rosa family. This book picks up where book 1 ended. Even giving a glimpse into book 1 in the first few pages.
This time the story is primarily about Dominic and Emelia. Which they are from opposite families that are enemies. So the first few chapters kind of give that Romeo and Juliet vibe. I love how Emelia is shown to be stronger than thought to be!
Emelia and Dominic cross a line that can never be un-crossed and no matter what one of them would have to give up their family lineage if they wanted to be together. Emelia shows just how strong she is and Dominic shows her how far he will go to protect her.
I can’t wait to follow more of this family and see how this all plays out. I’m glad that each one is centered around a particular person.

I’m not sure why I picked this book because the cover art was of a chess board and I don’t really follow chess. I knew it had to have some kind of clowns in it from the title. I was intrigued by this one. I couldn’t put it down once I started. I had to keep reading to see what this girl was going to intel. Abbey goes to extensive ends to give you all you hope for in a book. If you scare easy by clowns I wouldn’t read this one.
I absolutely loved this collection. The collection includes all 6 books of the Hawke Family. The author gives just enough detail about each character that gives you the feeling that you are a close personal friend but not so much in depth that you get bored with the words. There is a lot of heat and spice throughout the entire series but also each book has an in-depth plot.
Savage Collision: This is the first book in the collection and focuses on the eldest son of the Hawke family, Savage. We are also introduced to the entire family in this book and get a good glimpse at different character personalities. I absolutely love Savages character development throughout this book, it is shown through each chapter how much he has grown. The romance is between Savage and his employee’s older sister Danika. Savage owns not only clubs, and restaurants but also a gentleman’s club, which makes Dani call him a “pussy peddler”. Dani is a journalist and is working on a big story that deals with the Mob and Mayor. Savage is a control freak who has lost a good bit of control in his life, which makes him even harder to deal with. Dani is also hardheaded and is definitely not looking for love. Will these two be able to even stand in the same room without going completely insane? This book is full of steam, suspense, and action, in addition to the romance.
Tortured Skye: This is the second book in the collection and focuses on Skye, the youngest daughter of the Hawke family. The romance with Skye also involves her brother’s best friend, Gabe. I absolutely loved Skye in the first book, and I fell in love with her even more in this book. While Skye is a little bitchy and hot headed, I feel she is really more misunderstood than anything. She lost her twin sister and that alone would give anyone major issues. Both of the fight their love and attraction for the longest time, but once they give in, the flood gates are open, and it gets hot and heavy quickly. Gabe is still quite reluctant to be in a relationship given it is a semi betrayal to his best friend Savage. The author shows us in this book that there is always something more going on with a person that what is shown on the outside. The journey Skye and Gabe take is a long winding road.
Stone Sober: This is the third book in the collection and focuses on Stone, the youngest Hawke in the family. This what absolutely nothing I expected it to be, but it was much better. This is my favorite story of the entire collection. There is a ton of twists and turns in this book that will have your heart racing and fist clenching. The storyline is a little darker than the others which I loved. Stone has just returned home and is on edge, he has a secret that he has been keeping that only one other person knows about. This secret could set him completely down the wrong path, moreso than it already has done. Nora, is an amazing smart young woman who is also an employee of his brother Savage’s gentlemen’s club. Absolutely no one knows her reasoning for giving up her doctor career to become a stripper, besides that it is more freeing. This story is hot, dark and full of secrets.
Building Storm: This is the fourth book in the collection and follows the oldest sister, Storm. I ended up so wrapped up in this story that I read it completely in one sitting. In this story, you will definitely feel every emotion possible. The author has written it perfectly for you to feel all of the sorrow, the anger and the lust. There were parts where I felt like my heart actually broke from the way Storm was feeling. From the other books we know that Storm has a daughter and was married, but now we get to see how Storm is putting her life back together. She definitely wasn’t looking for love, but it found her anyway. Landon is from Chicago and ends up in New Orleans after trying to run from his problems. They are both broken, but in different ways and they hope to heal each other. Do you think Storm is ready for a happy ending, or are they both two broken to be fixed?
Tainted Saint: This is the fifth book in the collection and focuses on Caroline and Saint. Caroline, we met back in book one, she is Danika’s best friend, and a friend of the Hawke women. She is fun, feisty, and adventurous. She has her eyes set on a new bouncer of one of the clubs, Saint. This story is smoking hot with so many different twists. One of my favorite aspects of this book is that Caroline is not the type of woman that takes orders very well, like Saint is used to. I felt there was not a lot of the same depth in this story but loved it, nonetheless.
Steele Resolve This is book six in the collection and is a M/M romance that follows Byron and Steele. We met Byron in the first book, he is the manager of the gentlemen’s club that Savage Hawke owns. This is a forbidden romance, and enemies to lover’s trope. You can’t help but to love Byron, he is sweet, funny, and loyal. This book is full of high-strung emotion. Steele is Mr. Right but also oh so wrong for Byron. Steele is the enemy, and how is Byron going to choose between his heart and his family?

I loved this book! A light and feel-good story. Ginny returns to her small home town of Buckeye Falls, OH, after living in New York City for 2 years. Even though she came home to take care of her father who was having hip surgery, Ginny agrees to work with her ex-husband, Max, to plan the town’s holiday Jubilee. The characters in this story feel genuine to me – they go to work, they need hip replacements, they grocery shop – all things that make them more relatable. I enjoyed the characters’ interactions with one another. Just as the characters feel genuine, so do their interactions. I couldn’t wait to keep reading until the end!

What a great historical romance story! Typically books written in the old english language can be hard to follow sometimes but this one isn’t so over bearing with it.
Laurel convinces her aunt to let her marry Lord Laningham. They wed quickly and head to his estate. Where his twin is quickly against and does nothing to hide it. Laurel is left alone while her husband is away at war and let to defend herself against his sister and her antics.
Those early years of marriage are hard, but Laurel’s is made even harder and with every step forward you see Rhonda kicking her two steps back. The biggest question is will Laurel and Robert be able to survive and will their marriage last?
This book was a quick read but I wish there was more. Some of the story line felt a little empty, like it was missing some of the story. But you imagine yourself on the estate with Laurel as she is going through taking over the house.

This book is like a habanero pepper: short and full of spice. This was the first book I’ve read by this author, and as a novella, I liked it. It’s a quick read- I was getting my car fixed this morning and I had it done by the time they finished working on my tire. I’ll be looking forward to the actual first book in the series, and I can’t wait to see what’s in store for Jack and Hawke! The author does a fantastic job at pulling the reader in instantaneously, I do recommend!!

This book is a great feel-good way to bring magic into your everyday life. It’s also a guide to simply find your way to bring yourself back to taking care of yourself in this world that has a tendency to suck the life right out of you. It isn’t a super hocus pocus flashy book about casting spells and cursing people. This is a book that is more about finding the magic that is all around us in the world and that anyone can harness. As a pagan myself I found it to be a beautiful reminder to slow down and really embrace the beautiful and magical world we live in.

Gwyn Mcnamee created Night Hawke: A Second Generation Hawke Family Prequel as a taste of what is coming in this series. The book features Issac and the beguiling redhead who uses the name “Jack.” When Issac approaches the woman she gives him the name Jack so he uses the name Nolan. She isn’t worried about this, because both of them seem interested in a one night stand. Issac takes her to a fancy hotel called the Palmer House. Neither of them try to divulge anything about their lives. Issac is leaving Chicago to join his father in a family business, while Jack doesn’t say anything beyond that she grew up in Chicago. The cliffhanger ending left me eager to start this series. The mystery that started when the two met continues into Ruthless Hawke, and I know I am going to pick up a copy to dive into the story.

I absolutely loved this book. One hundred percent, I recommend this to anyone trying to find their way back to internal happiness and internal peace. The tone of the book to me feels like a patient mother or teaching showing her daughters how to push back societal expectations of women to learn how to find what benefits happiness and peace. She talks about finding your inner Divine Feminine, as well as taking pleasure in simple things in the world, and decluttering your soul as well as your life. I don’t think I’ve highlighted a book so much. I know I’ll be getting a physical copy soon and re reading it over and over again, and trying my best to pull from it to let go of the things that hold me down. Every one should read this, even if you don’t believe in Paganism. There’s not a lot of theology or ideology in the book, it’s simply said, about living the best life you can in a world that doesn’t prioritize the individual or individual happiness.

What a good dark, mysterious, crime and passion filled story!
Adrianna had come to work for the Larussio family under seemingly false pretenses. Keeping secrets of her own until a horrific incident occurred that required her to be closer than ever to the family.
Mafia secrets come out and the path of Salvatore changed the minute he met Adrianna. When her own secrets come out he is faced with choices, on top of the decisions he’s making for the family already.
This book did not disappoint in the anticipation of what was going to happen next. A few twists and that was just what was needed to keep you guessing! I’ve read a few other books by this author and yet again not a disappointment in this story.

I’ve been a huge fan of Greek mythology since I was a kid, and I’ve read a lot of fantasy books based around the myths. Finding mythos/fantasy books as an adult can be pretty hard.
I liked this book. I read it as a stand alone, but it is part of a series. I thought it was interesting how they took a modern day man back to the time of the ancients. It’s an interesting story, and I find the plot almost a little strange, but not bad.
One thing I did have a slight issue with though as someone who has studied history and religion, is how some of the Argonauts used the phrases Baal and Molech as curse terms, which by the time ancient Greek society would have come around, wouldn’t have been the mainstream gods worshipped, especially because those gods were worshipped in another region of the world. (Ancient Babylon, specifically)
It was nice to take a break from romance novels and jump into an action novel. I did like the book, and if you’re into mythology and action, this is the book for you!
