Full Glasses and Burju Shoes by Blake Blessing

5-stars

This was an amazing read. Emil and Perrin were amazing characters that I couldn’t help but fall in love with. They both had their own flaws but did their best to help each other through them. I loved that the author tied so much detail into Emil’s flashbacks. As much as I hated to see his character have to deal with that, I felt that it was very realistic and helped me understand his PTSD better. Perrin had her own issues with things after the loss of her parents but she did great in helping Emil through his episodes. I loved this novel!

Stone Sober (Hawke Family #3)Stone Sober by Gwyn McNamee
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Stone Sober: (A Hawke Family Novel) (The Hawke Family Book 3) Gwyn McNamee was not what I expected, it was better. Gwyn is a great story teller and this is one of my favourite series. I have loved the other two books in the series but this is my favourite so far, they just keep getting better and better, if that is even a possibility. Gwyn weaves lots of twists and turns that will have your heart pumping and emotions running all over the place. There are laughter and tears, sorrow and doubt, confusion and heartache, love and heartbreak and that is just naming a few. It is a little dark as well and that just adds to the excitement, drama and thrills.

Stone is the baby of the family and has just returned home but he is not so sure that is a good thing. He has a secret that only one other person knows, a secret that has led him down the wrong path, a secret that he uses vices to try to escape from. Now he has found a new vice and knows he needs to stay away or ruin a beautiful thing.

Nora is smart and sexy and turned away from a brilliant career to strip but no one knows her reasons and no one understands but it is the perfect job, it is freeing and that is just what she needs for now. But when she finally finds out who hides in the corner, in the shadows her life will forever be changed.

Trust me this is an amazing story and you will not want to put it down. It is hot and dark and forbidden and oh so good.

Perilous Confessions (The Possession Chronicles Book 1)Perilous Confessions by Carrie Dalby
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Perilous Confessions by Carrie Dalby is the first book in The Possession Chronicles. This is a story set in the Edwardian Era and tells the story of Lucy Easton. She is wanting to be a writer and has some difficult choices to make. She also meets Alexander Melling who has an interesting past. Can the two of them look past the difficulties?
This is a well-written book that I was engrossed in from beginning to end. I really enjoy historical fiction and this was really enjoyable. I liked the characters and the storyline. I am looking forward to where this story goes in future books. There was a lot of attention to detail which added to the story.

Tortured Skye (Hawke Family, #2)Tortured Skye by Gwyn McNamee
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Tortured Skye (Hawke Family Novels) is the second book in the series by Gwyn McNamee and is an erotic contemporary romance that will set you on fire. I love anything Gwyn writes and the Hawke Family series is fast becoming one of my favourites. The emotions that Gwyn instills in her stories has the ability to grab you from the very first page and keeps you titillated right until the very last word.

Skye Hawke has lost one half of herself and is still trying to comes to terms with it by hiding her pain behind her stubborn and hot headedness and down right rudeness. She also has a secret, a secret she has had since she was sixteen years old.

Gabe Anderson doesn’t do commitment, but now that he has noticed his best friends little sister is no longer little, he has more to lose which ever way he turns. Love the woman and lose the best friend or keep the best friend and lose the woman.

Gwyn McNamee is a must on everyone’s to READ list. I can’t wait to demolish her next book.

Full Glasses and Burju ShoesFull Glasses and Burju Shoes by Blake Blessing
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Full Glasses and Burju Shoes is a heart-breaking story by Blake Blessing. It was my first read by this writer and I know it will not be last. The story put us on the front seat of pulling us into what it means to come back into the civilian life after having been in military, what it means to the families and loved ones …
Full Glasses and Burju Shoes is the story of Perrin Michaels and Emiliano “Emil” Espocito. Perrin is young and living her life with glasses full so that she can try to leave her demons behind … Emil is a war veteran suffering from PTSD and finding it hard to adjust to civilian life and finding purpose … They seem so different and it becomes real clear later into the story how young Perrin really is compared to Emil. On the surface they should not work, they should not be able to find anything common but when you dig deeper and the more the story unfolds you actually realize that they balance each other out … the differences actually are the ones pulling them together …
The writer has given us a story that will haunt us for a while … it is a story that shows us that we can find light in the darkness when you lean on each other … she makes us cry and laugh and rage and hate and love and look at our lives and reminds us to be grateful for what we have!

The Shape of Trust (Stand By Me, #5)The Shape of Trust by Brinda Berry
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Brinda Berry’s Fifth Book In The Stand By Me Series, The Shape Of Trust has been another incredible captivating read from the get go.
This is my second read from this author and even with this being book 5 they can be read as stand-alone and be enjoyed and loved just as much as if read in sequence. I was totally captivated with this read from the moment I started it. I absolutely loved the realness of this story and the plot and issues that are in this book, they are believable and relatable, and most definitely made a change to read about a single dad. I was surprised at how quickly I loved both Webb’s character and Lily’s.
These two have an instant attraction and connection that is undeniable, but is it something both of them can resist? Or will they get their HEA? With emotions running high through this book, it was a book nobody will put down and most certainly pick up and read again! It’s the perfect romance novel for all.

After reading this book I most definitely need to read all the ones I have missed. I can’t wait to see what else Brinda Berry does with this series, if it’s anything like this one you will not be disappointed!

This is book 4 of the Hawke Family series. I have read all the other stories in this series, and this story definitely didn’t disappoint. This story was very well done. I was hooked from the first page until the very end. I really cannot wait to see what Gwyn McNamee has in store for us for future stories in this series.

In the other stories, we really didn’t get to know Storm very well. However, Storm experienced such trauma and change in such a short period of time that it would have been impossible for her to be the same. Storm is finding herself again. She stubborn, fierce, and stronger than she realizes. Now for Landon, he is extremely patient and understanding. I feel that Gwyn really wrote someone special for Storm!

a great read about temptation. Evangeline is happy with her life until she meets Landon Kelly at an art gallery showcasing a friends work. Upon meeting him, she is instantly drawn into a world od fire and temptation without even knowing his name. She tries her best to resist the call, but her heart betrays her. As events unfold, will this temptation make her happy or ruin everything?
A great read. Well developed plot with twists and turns that i just couldnt put down. Well developed characters like Evangeline trying to put herself first but still vulnerable or Jesse as kind and caring. Great cast of supporting characters like the control freak June or the calm Mira.
i loved the visual detail throughout the novel with the sense of art bright and colorful in vivid colours of pinkd and oranges as something more and to tell a story. i also loved the imzgery of destruction with the shipwreks and fire as conduming but emotive. Or the house by the lake as one serene moment in all of life with the sunrise and the cool waters. Or the busy sense of the cafe bars and Evangelines work fill of life and people all conveyed through verse was wonderfully written. Or the use of the sense throughout with smell and touch and taste as ifyou were actuslly there.
Setting the novel in free verse was a brillaint idea to display Evangelines thoughts and feelings. The lack of punctuation in short stanzas was a brilliant addition, for a fast paced feel that even pulled the reader into the spiral of events and was also easy to follow. Overall, a great read and i would give it five stars.

Less You Know by Rowena Holloway is the second book in the Ashes to Ashes series. This book is an enthralling as the first one. Centred around two best friends it explores the fact that we never really know people as well as we think we do.
This book absolutely grabbed my attention. I had to know what was going to happen; where had Allie gone? What secrets had she been hiding? Could Charlotte find her? Would Charlotte disappear next. I could feel my heart thumping at times as I was reading this book. It truly was edge of your seat type reading.
Rowena Holloway has such a gripping writing style. I am glad that I have discovered her work!

Wow this is my first read by Ms. Anders and I could not put it down it was hot hot hot… Tapped is written by Ms. Anders so I guess this is the third in this series so now I have to go back and read them. The characters are well written and get along so well with their different personalities and quirks.
Do you believe in second chances? How about new beginnings and commitment?

Janae and Kai where high school sweet-hearts and hasn’t seen him in over ten years. She hasn’t dated anyone since Kai and hasn’t had any desire to either. She manages the bar at the hottest co-ed revue in Las Vegas and the last person she expects to walk in, is now standing at her bar with her boss.
Kai leaves his life on the road to settle back home. He doesn’t expect to see his ex-girlfriend, the one woman that no one can compare to in his new place of employment. The one woman who left him without a real explanation, who broke his heart.
Kai and Janae give their romance a second chance, but Kai’s best friend from his road life comes to visit and it’s unclear if he has ulterior motives. Will Kai’s friend tear them apart or is their love solid?

Building Storm: (A Hawke Family Novel) (The Hawke Family Book 4) Gwyn McNamee just blew me out of the water. I thought Stone was my favourite and now Building Storm has surpassed my expectations. Gwyn is an amazing writer and and I always know I am in safe hands when I read one of her books. This story I devoured in one sitting, even though I had to get up for work the next day I absolutely could not set it aside. I was so wrapped up in the story time was gone before I even came up for air. Gwyn knows just the right ingredients to weave together to give you an experience you will not forget. Your heart will be pumping and jumping out of your chest and your emotions running all over the place. I felt as though I was the one in the story as I felt it all. I laughed, I cried and sobbed, my sorrow and love was real, my heart broke and at times I could not breathe.It is as beautiful as it is dark, it is as wonderful as it is sad and it is raw and powerful. The complexity of the characters and their lives and the plot is a work of art.

There will be no spoilers on this review as the story speaks for itself. There are a multiple of other books I can see from some of the other characters in this series and I really, really can not wait to see where Gwyn may take us.

This is the most amazing story that no one should miss. It is brilliant.

Perilous Confessions is book one in the Possession Chronicles by Carrie Dalby. I haven’t read anything by this author, so reading this book was a new and exciting experience.

Lucy and Alexander fall love and it is a tale for the ages. I love reading the whole romance process from many years ago. From the courtship, to the marriage, to the rest of their lives together, and all the trials and hurdles along the way. Alexander had his demons to slay, and Lucy had to decide if he was worth the extra effort it may take to build that forever with him.

Carrie Dalby has a style that captivates and dazzles the audience. Attention grabbing intensity and drama male this story hard to put down. 4 stars.

Nothing But Trouble (Irresistible Billionaires #1)Nothing But Trouble by Ashley Bostock
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

 

Nothing But Trouble is the first book in the Irresistible Billionaire Series by the wonderfully talented Ashley Bostock. It is such a fantastic, steamy contemporary/billionaire romance with a ‘fake-engagement’, and a bit of a modern ‘Cinderella’ story feel to the whole thing- which I really loved. It is an incredibly sexy and erotic story with scorching details that sizzled right off the pages.
Michael Vilander is the thirty-three year old self-made billionaire, founder and CEO of the largest and most successful matchmaking website, TOGETHER.com. He desperately needs a date for a Gala he is obliged to attend, and because of his ‘two-date’ policy he is having trouble finding someone suitable. He decides to create a ‘fake profile’ on his own site to see if he has any luck. When one particular ‘match’ catches his eye, he contacts her, and they spend a fun night chatting back and forth. He asks her if she would attend the gala with him, and she agrees- and so starts this captivating story. But what he doesn’t know is that Sophia has a pretty big secret, one that could change everything- so what happens when he finds out what it is? Then add a nasty, conniving ex into the mix- and the story really gets interesting!
The story is fantastic, and I loved following Michael and Sophia through the story. They are wonderful characters who were really well developed, complex and very endearing)- which made the journey even more addictive.
The story is told from a duel POV; it has a great pace and flows smoothly. It was very easy to read, and I flew through it in one sitting.
Now I can’t wait to read more of this series!

Thank you, Ms. Bostock!

Building Storm by Gwyn McNamee is a five star novel. This novel is the fourth installment to the Hawke Family series. First off, I was drawn to these novels because of their amazingly hot covers. I love the black and white images and how the titles have everything to do with the character the author has centered that book around. This author has a masterful way of drawing the reader into her story and making you feel like you could be a part of this family as well. There is so much drama and heat between the characters that you will find you cannot put it down. When Storm realizes she is on her own, she is next to done for. She has no idea how she is going to keep on living and raise their daughter. She also knows what it was like growing up with her mom and promises that somehow, she will figure this out so that her daughter doesn’t have to grow up with a mother who had that look about her all the time also. It might take a while, but she will find herself again. I cannot wait to continue with the fifth and final book in this series!

I can’t imagine living someone but not going after them. To fear that your relationship would end friendships. So many different emotions you have to process just o find your happiness. Skye has lost someone close to her heart and cures herself with liquor. Gabe is running from nightmare and doesn’t want to ruin lives. But this feeling he has won’t go away even when he gets what he wants. This story captures you by giving you that guy who will do anything for the girl. The story as capture you by telling you about the girl who just needs something more to get out of the dark.

A Christmas Wish by Engy Neville was a sweet story with real life moments thrown in just to hook you a little more.

Amy was a little too hippie for me. What kind of person willing gives up coffee? Someone obviously not in their right mind. But seriously, Amy moves across the country and fully embraced the out with the old, in with the new mentality which I applaud except for the coffee. The new includes a new job (her dream job), new friends and a man. She is totally in love with her New York life including the winters (again questioning her sanity) and all that comes with them.

This is the first time I’ve read anything by Ms. Neville and I did enjoy it. I will keep my eye out for her in the future.

Tapped by Tarrah Anders is definitely a 5 star read for me. I have read a few books by this author and have loved all of them.

Janae is about to get the shock of her life one night while she is working. Kai….her Kai from
10 years ago is standing in front of her. As soon as they see each other, the feelings are brought back.

Lao has never forgotten Janae. He has always measured people up to her and no one ever came
close. He was traveling on tour as a back up dancer but now he wants to find a place to stay in. He’s tired of different hotel rooms and sleeping on tour busses. He never thought when he applied for this job, he was going to find the one woman who owned his heart.

Kai and Janae start off as friends again but, Kai knew from the beginning, he wanted more. It took a lot of convincing but, Janae finally gave him a shot. Kai started as a rookie but quickly turned into one of the best erotic dancers at the club. Janae never watches the shows but now she finds herself watching him every time he comes out.

When one is Kai’s best friends come to visit, Janae finds herself in a crazy situation.

This was a great book and had lots of heat. I loved how Kai and Janae were able to have a second chance in life. I also loved the ending. AMAZING!!!

From page one I knew I wasn’t getting any sleep until I finished Janae and Kai’s story. The characters are complex and relatable with such a hot and sweet story to tell. The author does a wonderful job of of creating a story you just crawl inside and never want to leave. The chemistry between the characters if off the charts and it was fun watching them interact with one another. If you love a great second chances kind of book this ones for you.

A Christmas Wish by Engy Neville is the second book in the Manhattan Dream series. The story is about Amy McKinsey and her life in New York. She has moved from LA to start a new job, has met a dreamy guy, and is enjoying life. The story reminded me of a Hallmark movie because everything was very upbeat and happy to the point of being a bit unrealistic. As I got further in things started to not be so perfect and happy. Amy is dealt with some problems and has to decide how to handle them. She grows as a woman and a character. I was glad to see her progress as a person and come into herself. Overall this was an enjoyable read and I will keep an eye out for more from this author in the future.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Engy Neville is a new author to me and I could not have picked a better story than A Christmas Wish. Neville has written characters like they could really be the people in my town. The story line is a great make me feel good story. She keeps it moving and shows that wishes just may come true. I have always wished upon the first star I see every night. This story just gave me more reasons to wish upon a star and to remember that I can make my own little magic myself if I just believe.

A Christmas Wish (A Manhattan Dream) by Engy Neville – Review by Maura Harper

A Christmas WishA Christmas Wish by Engy Neville
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

A CHRISTMAS WISH is (obviously) a holiday story filled with dreams and wishes.

The story starts at The Hamptons with a fun-filled vacation and ends in the cold Manhattan winter. The times in between Summer and Winter allowed for the characters to work out some stuff and have a few “adventures” along the way.

I always feel bad when a book just isn’t my cup of tea and this is one of them. I never connected with any of the characters and felt like situations were written to make what could have been a lovely short story into a full length novel. There were so many cliches that I found myself wanting to roll my eyes often.

Here is what I did like about the book:

The meet cute – I enjoyed the fact that the female protagonist could experience such joy
Friendships – Every female should have a friend who always has her back
Amy’s love of her job – I wish everyone got as much joy out of their job as she did at the beginning of the story
Closed door sexy times – It was refreshing not to have a front row seat for every encounter

I always appreciate the fact that an author works so hard to bring their words to the page. Just because this book wasn’t for me, doesn’t mean it’s not the perfect book for you.
