An Italian Adventure (The Italian Saga, #1) by Gaia B. Amman – Review by Francis O’Sullivan

/0 Comments/in /by

An Italian Adventure (The Italian Saga, #1)An Italian Adventure by Gaia B. Amman
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

An Italian Adventure is the first book in Gaia B Amman’s Italian Saga. It is told from the perspective of Lee, an adventurous and imaginative child in Italy in the 1980s. It has everything you could want in a book about childhood – long, warm summer days full of seemingly endless possibilities, secrets, confusing adults, monsters, tears…
Lee is absolutely charming. She’s tough and always ready to stand up for herself, but also sensitive and loyal. Pretty much all of her friends are boys, and a big theme in the book is her (and them) figuring out if they see her as a person or a girl. I really like how her relationship with Viola, her older sister, develops over the course of the book. Where Lee is on the brink of teenagerhood, Viola is approaching adulthood with the stress of final exams looming over her.
It’s a very enjoyable book. I felt a lot of nostalgia for my childhood reading it, and it made me think a lot about my own experiences. I also learned a lot about childhood in Italy (and a few Italian swear words…) which was interesting!
For me, this is a five star book. It’s the first in a long series, so I’m looking forward to following Lee’s adventures as she grows up. I really enjoyed reading this, and getting to know the characters.

Pandora's Poison (Hart & Cole Book 2)Pandora’s Poison by Sacha T. Y. Fortuné
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Pandora’s Poison is the second book in Sacha T.Y. Fortune’s Hart & Cole series. I waited for it impatiently as we were introduced to the mains of this book already in the first one and it wetted my appetite! You absolutely must read the series in order as you will not know the background if you just go willy-nilly to the second book, or gosh forbid you start with the third when you chance picking up the series when the third one is out! Listen to the reason and start from the beginning!
Pandora’s Poison is the story of Luisa and Darren, they reached a breaking point at the end of the first book and now it will all be laid bare in front of us … the way the writer pulls us into this intricate web of relationships … the emotions you will be drowning in … the heartbreak you will feel …. The writer has given us a glimpse into the darker side of a relationship. As she says herself in the synopsis “A marriage is not a happy ending; it’s a beginning of so much more to come”, she is giving us that more … the infidelity, the insecurity, the doubt …
We might not like Luisa and Darren’s story at times but it is real and I cannot wait to see how it ends! The third book, cannot wait!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the second book in this series, my favorite yet. I was pulled in right from the beginning and didn’t put it down until the last page. I enjoyed seeing characters from the first book in this one and can say they are still my favorite. What will happen when this group of characters find themselves in desperate need to find a plane that is lost in a cornfield? The twists and turns left me turning pages and sitting on the edge of my seat action. I highly recommend this book.

Second book in this series, I highly recommend reading the first book before this one to help enhance your enjoyment and keep up with the characters in this series. I loved this book as much as the first. Evie’s story continues as she takes on movie star, Jake as a client. Will he prove to be a challenge and is her stalker getting closer? The characters are well developed and creative, they truly make the story especially Evie. No regrets picking up this book, a must read!

I loved this book! It is my favorite by this author yet! It is fast paced, creative and pulled me in right from the start. I loved how the creative characters made me feel as if I was right there in the story. This is a story of finding who you are, family and love. Elaina is a storm chaser and Seth is a meteorologist. What happens when they meet starts a twister of a journey that I couldn’t put down. I loved their chemistry and they made the story into what it is. A must read!

Infamy (Feisty Lawyers, #2)Infamy by Seelie Kay
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

 

Infamy is the brilliant second installment in the Feisty Lawyers Series by Seelie Kay. It can be read as a standalone, but I recommend reading the first book to gather all the pertinent particulars, background information, and character details- so you are able to fully appreciate and immerse yourself in this book.
This is a short story, which makes for a very quick and easy read. There is lots of intrigue, suspense, humour, action, adventure, danger, terrorism, drama, some romance, and a bit of spice. The book had me on the edge of my seat in suspense most of the time, reading along to discover how the story would play out.
I loved the first book, but this one blew me away, and is definitely my favourite, so far! Because this is such a short story, I won’t go into too much detail, as I wouldn’t want to spoil it for you, plus the blurb gives a better rundown of the plot than I could, anyway.
This is quite a clever, complex, multi-faceted storyline- with a lot packed into a small package! But in true Seelie Kay fashion, it packs quite a punch!
I really enjoyed this clever suspense. I love the characters, old and new- I enjoyed their chemistry, personalities, funny banter, quips and antics. It made them more realistic and quite endearing.
I still maintain that this series would make a great Television show.
I can’t wait to see what new adventures and investigations await in the future installments!

Thank you, Ms. Kay!

A Talent for Trouble (Bad Boys of Space, #1)A Talent for Trouble by Landra Graf
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

 

A Talent for Trouble was a great read. It is the first book that I have read by this author and it didn’t take me long at all to get into the story. I really liked the space adventure part of the story I thought it was really interesting to read about. I thought that the characters were well thought out. For me, I liked how I wasn’t so keen on Emilio at the very beginning but I warmed to him as the story progressed. I loved Antonia from the start, she was feisty and sassy – she also had such great relationship with her crew, they all respected each other and were like family. I enjoyed watching Antonia and Emilio’s relationship blossom, the chemistry was there from the beginning but it was nice to watch it grow into something else as their story evolved.
I really liked the author’s detailed writing, she really brought the story to life through her words. The story was unpredictable and I loved that about it. I am definitely looking forward to the next book in the series and reading more from this author again!

Best Foot Forward (The Liberty Lawrence Series Book 1) by Bea Stevens

5 Stars

I read the second book first in this series and when I was finished all I could think of is I have to read the first. I love love love Libby in these books…I can relate to her because Im nothing like her, well not completely but she is someone I would love to be friends with.

I knew going in that I was going to love this book. I was so happy to be able to read about how her and Jack came to be or not to be as the case may be sometimes lol. This story made me laugh out loud on a few occasions but I smiled literally all the way through. I loved Mrs Merrington-Smythe..Next to Libby she was my favorite part of this book well and of course Popsie 🙂

I can seriously see these books being made into a movie and I know I would absolutely love that, they are so much fun and full of fun little twists and turns. I read this one in one sitting and now want to go read the second one again and wait not so patiently for the next.

Loved It!!

Climbing The Walls by Sacha T.Y. Fortuné
Hart & Cole Book 1
My rating: 5 out of 5 stars

WOW!! This book has me at a loss for words. I won’t lie, it did take me a little while to get into the story line, but stick it out and I promise you will not regret it. I have so many mixed emotions for each character, I want to take Kris’ side most of the time but then I want to be on Nicole’s side and my head is just a mess.

Nicole is, as the description says, a piece of work. I want to hate her, I want to smack her and knock some sense into her. I understand her boss is demanding, but at some point I would think she would just say no. No to all the late night and very early phone calls, no to staying at work late A LOT. I want her to say yes to spending time with her family, especially her kids. These wishes, I did not get. Nicole did in fact work late, and took her boss’ phone calls even at the most inconvenient times, and I could feel Kris’ patience with her and their marriage waning.

Kris is a good father, a good husband and sometimes will go out of his way to try and plan something for them as a family, like a technology free weekend. Well you can guess how that turned out from my description of Nicole. I know he loves his wife, but the way she acts and the way she treats him and the kids is weighing on him heavily. I don’t blame him for some of the things he does, his wife’s actions would probably make anyone snap, but I think maybe he did take things a little too far at the end. I thought he had more self restraint.

This review may be vague and I do apologize. I don’t want to give anything away or spoil any of the plot because, I truly want anyone who reads this book to get all of the surprises like I did. This book had me shaking my head, talking to myself and asking questions to nobody. This is a book I normally wouldn’t pick up and read, but the summary had me wanting to give it a try and I am so glad I did. I do recommend this book, and will say again please stick it out because the story is fantastic and totally worth the late night reading sessions to finish.

Salvation: An Ash Park Prequel Novella (Ash Park, #0.5)Salvation: An Ash Park Prequel Novella by Meghan O’Flynn
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

So thrilling that I can’t wait to read more! Salvation is the Prequel novella to the Ash Park Series by Meghan O’Flynn. Now, I read the series prior to reading this novella and it explains so much! This prequel is based on Edward Petrosky. Petrosky is the lead detective in the Ash Park serial killings, only this time it’s about him. His wife is found dead and he is on the one who finds her. We also learn about his reasoning’s for joining the police force. Being former military, it can be difficult to unsee things. We learn quite a bit about Detective Petrosky throughout the series but this really sums him up and at the same time sets up the series. This novella give us a basis for why he is the way he is and why he fights so hard to find out who the Ash Park Serial Killer is.

Less You Know (Ashes to Ashes #2)Less You Know by Rowena Holloway
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Allie and Charlotte are close friends.
When Allie is abducted, Charlotte makes it her business to find out who took her and why.

The story jumps narrative from chapter to chapter changing the POV from Allie to Charlotte back to Allie. Not only that, but it also changes time frames. From weeks ago, to the present, to weeks ago.

In terms of suspense, at no point was I able to pinpoint what was actually happening until it happened. I felt like the end was too close to the climax, otherwise this was a great read! 4 stars!

Rainy Day Lovers (The Rocklyns Book 3)Rainy Day Lovers by Alicia Street
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

 

Rainy Day Lovers is the third book in The Rocklyns series by Alicia Street. This is my first read from Ms. Street, so I didn’t really know what to expect going in. But the blurb sounded promising, and the cover is lovely, so in I went.  What I found was a wonderful, well-written, contemporary romance- with characters who drew me into their story and kept me turning the pages to follow them while their story unfolded. Roman and of Raina- what can I say, I absolutely loved them. They are so well developed and complicated individuals- but written in such a way that they were entirely realistic, relatable and believable. I was invested in them and their lovely story. I felt for them too, especially Roman! Even though there were times I wanted to shake them, both!
And even the secondary characters added to the whole storyline. They have intrigued me enough to want to go back and read the rest of the series, before any new installments come out.
I read the book in a little over an hour, and found it have a great pace, and is a smooth and easy read.
A lovely romance, and I can’t wait to explore the rest of the series!

Thank you, Ms. Street!

Shattered (The Torzial Affair Book 1)Shattered by Via Mari
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

 

Shattered is the first book in the Torzial series by Via Mari. It is a romantic suspense that’s full of action, danger, secrets, hidden agendas, humour, mystery, sexual exploration & awakening, some light bondage, a little spanking, plenty of sizzle, the mafia, and so much more. I have loved reading this book, as I really enjoyed the Prestian series, I knew I had to read this one too. But Ms. Mari certainly upped her game with this book/series- blowing past the Prestian books easily. I had been wondering how Via Mari would navigate this storyline/series after everything that happened in the Prestian novels- I admit that I had fairly high expectations, and after reading this I am delighted to say that she surpassed all my expectations, and then some! All the minor issues I had with the Prestian series, seem to have been well and truly resolved in this book/series. I feel Via Mari has hit her stride now, totally comfortable and at ease with her craft- and it really shows in this well written and polished book!
The story/series is separate to the Prestian series, but has recurring characters, situations, and some timeline cross-overs- and as such, I would really recommend reading the Prestian series before embarking on this one- as all the information contained in those books will enhance your reading experience of this book/series.
This is primarily a suspense- with a great erotic romance woven through it. I love how Via Mari is able to build such intense tension, chemistry, and intrigue- but manages to balance it all with emotion and humour.
I loved meeting Jenny and Brian in the Prestian series, but in this book/series, I really ‘got to know them’ so much better! They really are fantastic characters, so beautifully created, with complex personalities that really brought them to life. I was completely immersed in their story- strung out on all the detail, reading anxiously to discover what happens. The story does continue into the next book, but I didn’t miss a beat, diving in and reading the entire series back to back!
Superb!! My favourite of Via Mari’s so far!!

Thank you, Via Mari!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

 

The Monster’s Lover is the first book in the Fenris series by Samantha MacLeod. This is a great fantasy, with paranormal elements, and based on the Norse Myth of Fenrir- the monstrous wolf. This story has plenty of drama, action, adventure, and romance. There is so much to like about this complex, well developed storyline. It is a captivating read right from the very first page- and I loved the author’s spin on mythology.
As with all her other books, Ms. MacLeod spins a wonderfully complex, tight, descriptive and detailed story- which held my attention from beginning to end. It may be on the shorter side, but the contents are anything but lacking. It is a quick and easy read- with a lot happening in a small space. But as usual Ms. MacLeod choreographs the whole thing superbly. And, what’s not to love about this gorgeous cover!
A great start to what looks set to be a fantastic new series.

Thank you, Ms. MacLeod!

The Future Memoir of Ann Jones: A Time Travel Romance with a Splash of MagicThe Future Memoir of Ann Jones: A Time Travel Romance with a Splash of Magic by Alex Bailey
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

 

The Future Memoir of Ann Jones: A Time Travel Romance with a Splash of Magic by Alex Bailey was a fun and mysterious read that told a cleverly woven tale- full of humour, mystery, a drop of darkness, some suspense, a light sprinkle of magic, and plenty of intrigue. I had really enjoyed the other works of Ms. Bailey’s that I have read, so I was certain I would enjoy this story as well. The premise certainly drew my attention, as did the attractive cover. Ms. Bailey spins a wonderfully imaginative tale that was a humorous cross between the ‘Stepford Wives’ and a not so dark ‘Premonition’.
Alex tells the story through a letter to her sister, which was an interesting way to capture the story. She tells of her friend Ann Jones who is a happily married mother of two, settled on the West Coast with a tight-knit circle of family and friends- and whose ‘vision’ is the subject of the letter/story. In her vision, Ann loses her husband in a basement/box accident- leaving her a widow. So, with her teenage twins in college, she decides to leave everything behind- takes her dog, and moves to the East Coast
But the story gets more complex when she joins a Knitting Club in her new area. There are strange rules, and very friendly, but quirky members, who have all lost a husband- usually in a bizarre way. Ann’s ‘new life ‘includes a great new job, as well as a new man. Things certainly seem to be falling into place. But there is an underlying danger that is the basis of the story.
The story revolves around this ‘future’ existence and Ann seeking Alex’s advice on what to do about what she’d ‘seen’, because it was only a ‘vision’ after all…..wasn’t it?
This was a fun, witty, original, engaging and entertaining story. It was a tad slow to get going, but after a few chapters the story took off. There are a few points where the story did ‘lag’ a little- but not enough to detract from my overall enjoyment of it.

Thank you, Ms. Bailey!

A Tendency Dark and Dangerous by Emmalyn Danvers is a love story with a difference. It is told in verse. It is twisted, sexy, thrilling and dark. I was instantly intrigued with what went in to a story that is written in free verse. Having never quite developed a love for poetry, I just felt I needed to experience all that is new to me and this exciting author had to offer. I was immediately glad I got to read this.

Evangeline coasts along in life, going with the flow. Landon changes all that. A hunger is awakened that she didn’t know existed. Career orientated, she embarks on an addictive, sensual journey of discovery. An emotional journey. Landon is sexy domination. Drawn to him like no other, he introduces her to lustful addiction. A gripping and intriguing story that has highs, lows, and everything in between. A mesmerising story. A beautiful story. And unlike anything I have previously read. 5 stars.

Libby’s new job as a reporter for the Daily Chronicle is proving quite challenging for the following reasons:
Number 1: Her mentor, Dave Chandler, likes to run everywhere which means she has to do the same. Her Karen Millens are already ruined and her new Kurt Geigers are heading the same way. Everyone else gets to take taxis or the Tube. Surely that counts as discrimination or something?
Number 2: None of the girls in the news room seem to like her—even though they’ve never even met her! It’s just plain rude—and very hurtful!
And Number 3: Dave Chandler is a bit odd—and that’s without the running thing. He’s very proud of all his trophies and awards but won’t help Libby get any. He won’t divulge who his contacts are—although some of them sound a bit iffy—and he keeps sneaking off without her despite the fact she’s supposed to be shadowing him.

Cassie Beaumont, her bestie and flatmate, is doing really well in her new job, which only makes Libby feel worse about her own. Cassie and Rob are also really close, which is how Libby wants to be with James Harper—she fancies the pants off him— but he seems very distracted.

She realises it’s time for sorting out her life and stepping it up—in more ways than one!

Infamy. An evil or wicked act. Terrorists bent on revenge have found a way to make planes disappear from the sky, without a trace. And when one winds up buried in a Wisconsin cornfield, it’s a race against time to rescue the passengers from certain death.

When international law attorney Sheikh Harun Ali is lured to the Amazon and warned of a frightening plot against the United States, he and his wife, Marianne Benson, enlist the assistance of their neighbors, covert agent Cade Matthews and his wife, Constitutional Law Professor Janet MacLachlan. Ultimately, these feisty lawyers are pushed to the wall, desperate to find a plane that has been buried in an unknown cornfield, the passengers still on board. The terrorists’ hatred for the Alis is absolute—the Alis once left their organization bankrupt and broken—but they hate America more. And their fiendish games are just beginning. They are seeking a much bigger prize, one that could destroy a nation and possibly the world. An act that will live in infamy.

Pandora's Poison (Hart & Cole Book 2)Pandora’s Poison by Sacha T. Y. Fortuné
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

5 Stars

Pandora’s Poison is the second book in the Hart & Cole series and I think these books should be read in order to get the best reading experience. I was excited to read this book because I did enjoy book 1, and let me tell you… this book did not disappoint! We continue right where book 1 ended and get to see a more into the story of Darren and Luisa.
I love these characters and even though I was mad at them sometimes, I was excited to see what direction their lives were headed. I am looking forward to reading book 3 and I would recommend this to a friend!
Happy Reading!

5 Star
The Future Memoir of Ann Jones: A Time Travel Romance with a Splash of Magic by Alex Bailey is a fun and intriguing book that had me hooked from the beginning until the end. There are situations that had me turning the pages trying to figure out what happens next. The character, Ann, is at times a stubborn woman. She has joined a knitting club which sounds like a typical club but it’s not. I thought it flowed nicely and was very creative I truly enjoyed reading this book and I highly recommend it. I look forward to reading more from this author.

Eight Steps to Alpha (Nerdy by Nature, #1)Eight Steps to Alpha by Taylor Sullivan
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Eight Steps: A friends to lovers romance by Taylor Sullivan is a fun read. The story is about Elliot and Fe who are roommates and friends. Elliot asks Fe to help him get the girl because he is the nice guy often overlooked. What will happen when they complete their experiment? I enjoyed the characters and the nerdiness of Elliot and Fe. The banter was fun and realistic. The two show that friendship is important between men and women. This was a cute story and made me laugh at times. I overall enjoyed this book and recommend it if you are looking for a light, fun read.

Finding Juniper (Smoke Series Book 3) by Sadia Ash – Review by Michelle Austin

Finding JuniperFinding Juniper by Sadia Ash
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Finding Juniper was a great 5 star read and book three in the Smoke series.
We start where Juniper Smoke leaves off. I was so excited to finish Kyle and Junipers story and get some answers to questions.

Look away. Those eyes were my personal kryptonite. -Juniper

We see these two go through so many levels of emotions. Kyle does some maturing and he pulled me in even more. He has a lot of things going on in his life that added a great element to the story. Juniper at times frustrated me with her choices.

Overall I loved their story. It’s definitely not an easy journey, my emotions were all over the place. The secondary characters were great and we get several twists and turns. Sadia Ash has completely drawn me in with her writing and I can’t wait to read more from her. There was so many ways that this story could go, I couldn’t even begin to guess how it was going to end, which I love. I love reading a book that challenges me and keeps me thinking. This is a must read series.

Snatching Dianna (Feisty Lawyers Book 1) by Seelie Kay – Review by Robin Rankin

Snatching Dianna (Feisty Lawyers, #1)Snatching Dianna by Seelie Kay
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Snatching Dianna by Seelie Kay is the first book in the Feisty Lawyers series. This is the first book I have had the pleasure reading by Ms. Kay so I wasn’t sure what to expect with her style and how she builds her characters and was anxious to see what I would be getting with this story. Let me tell you what I got.

I got a story about love, romance, “alone time” and there was the whole missing law student thing which brought in the hot alpha Federal Agents and local Police Officers.

I was a little confused by the focal point in the beginning but as the story progressed it was clear to me where this series will be going. My confusion didn’t cause me enough distraction to take away from the book.

I have book two in my kindle and looking forward to getting it read.

Snatching Dianna, Feisty Lawyers Series, by Seelie Kay

4-Stars

Snatching Dianna was an interesting and action packed novel. The storyline was easy to follow and moved quickly. It was fitting, too, how important it was to locate a missing person in a certain amount of time. The individuals that made up the primary characters of the novel consisted of an interesting mix including lawyers, law students, special agents, and police. I loved how strong Dianna remained in the face of danger and handled being taken. She never gave up hope. There was also a hint of steamy romance mixed in. I look forward to reading more in this series.

Salvation: An Ash Park Prequel Novella by Meghan O’Flynn – Review by Emily Walsh

Salvation: An Ash Park Prequel Novella (Ash Park, #0.5)Salvation: An Ash Park Prequel Novella
By: Meghan O’Flynn
My Rating: 5 of 5 stars

Salvation: An Ash Park Prequel Novella (Ash Park 0.5) by Meghan O’Flynn was a nail biting, suspenseful, heart pounding thriller that, had me on the edge of my seat.

Not my first read from this author or in this series. In truth I have read every book in this series, so needless to say when I saw this one I snached it up in a heartbeat. This book takes place well before the main series, so I do suggest reading this first as it will give you a better understand of the lead MC, Petrosky.

Like the others book in this series, Salvation was well written, detailed and emotional. I got to know Petrosky’s character very well from the main series, and it was exciting to read about the before. Before he was broken, and before he lost his child that led to his spiral into self hate, alcohol and depression. This book paints that before, as well as the beginning of this multi layered character’s downfall.

Overall this book was everything I was hoping it to be and more. Meghan O’Flynn is truly talented at making your skin crawl and smashing your heart into a million pieces. So please take my super high recommendation and my stamp of approval that you will be holding your breath as well as, holding onto your shattering heart.

Happy Reading

Less You Know (Ashes to Ashes, #2) by Rowena Holloway – Review by Erin Wolf

Less You Know (Ashes to Ashes #2)Less You Know by Rowena Holloway
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I give Less You Know: gripping suspense (Ashes to Ashes Book 2) by Rowena Holloway, 4 stars.
*This review may contain spoilers from book one of the series.*

Charlotte is still feeling the loss of her mentor and the murder of the man that could have broken a story wide open for her. But she has gained a really good friend and things are going well with her boyfriend. That is until she decides to change her plans over Christmas. She goes off with her boyfriend and blows off the dinner she was supposed to attend at Allie’s. Biggest mistake of her life. After not hearing from Allie for a few days afterwards, she goes to her place, only to find it ransacked and Allie missing. Is this all tied to the man she had been investigating? Or is there more to Allie than what appears? Is Charlotte in over her head?

This is a great book full of suspense. Charlotte has grown since book one, and it is great to see her come into herself more. Plus we learn more about who she really is and her past. Plus we learn so much more about Allie. She was introduced to us in book one, but this book is all about her. As fitting for the series, there is so much going on, you won’t get all of the angles until the very end. It keeps you in the edge of your seat. It is not necessary really to read book one, but you will understand more if you do.

If you are a fan of suspense and strong female characters, this book is for you.

Best Foot Forward (The Liberty Lawrence Series Book 1) by Bea Stevens – Review by Maura Harper

Best Foot Forward (The Liberty Lawrence Series #1)Best Foot Forward by Bea Stevens
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I read book 2 before book 1 and even knowing how delightfully quirky Liberty is, it was like reading her for the first time. There is just something about her that makes me want to be her friend.

BEST FOOT FORWARD is a quick and funny read with a bit of mystery, a bit of delusional thinking and a lot of humor. The characters are fully developed, the settings are well described and the story flows smoothly from beginning to end.

I’m struggling with not giving this book 5 stars, but there is just something about it. Maybe it’s that my new bestie is so quirky that I want to dig a bit deeper into what makes her tick. I’m not sure. (It could also be the mood I’m in today)

I will absolutely continue to read this series.
