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. This is a cute friends to lovers Romance with Elliot and Fe who begin as best friends and room mates. Fe being the shy, nervous girl who loves to read decides to help nerdy, “nice guy”Elliot become the ultimate alpha male character to get the girl he thinks he wants. Can they pull this off? Better question can they pull It off without realizing they might feel things more than friendship for each other. The story was cute, with funny moments, it flowed well and kept you entertained. I liked the characters each had their own issues which made them seem more real.

An Italian Adventure (The Italian Saga Book 1) by Gaia B. Amman – Review by Tracy Wilkin

An Italian Adventure (The Italian Saga, #1)An Italian Adventure by Gaia B. Amman
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

An Italian Adventure is book one in The Italian Saga series  by Gaia B. Amman. I was really excited to uncover what this author writes, as I have not read this author’s work before. I5 is always a rush to find new talent. The blurb for this title tweaked my interest instantly. It sounded hilarious. I was a little unsure if I would get into a story that was based on pre teens, but it was a definite entertainer, and many avid readers would love to escape into this breath of fresh and innocent air.

Leda is a girl growing up in Italy. Her and her friends enjoy being young and carefree amongst the streets of Italy, facing trials most young girls face, discovering the pleasure of youth, while remaining innocent and eager to learn and discover new things. There are situations that are painful and hard to deal with, but the author sets out the characters in a way that is endearing and real. A tale that brought many childhood memories floating to the surface, An italian Adventure was a delight to read. 4 stars.

Salvation: An Ash Park Prequel Novella by Meghan O’Flynn – Review by Kerry Baker

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 by Meghan O’Flynn is a Prequel in the Ash Park series. This series has become one of my absolute favourite ones that I have read in a long time. Every single book in this series has a great story line and brilliant characters. I always find myself on the edge of my seat, desperate to find out what is going to happen.
This book was no exception. Meghan O’Flynn has such a skill at creating lasting and edgy stories. The twist and turns keep you fully engaged all the way through. I always know I am in for a good ride whenever I pick up one of her books. This was another good hit.

Having read some of the others books in this series and then Salvation I have to say it absolutely sets the story! I didn’t mind that I read this book after the others because it really was a brilliant read. The author has a really great engaging writing style that pulls you in straight away. I loved finding out a little bit more about Ed too and I think it helped me appreciate him more when thinking about him in the other books in the series. If you have read any of the books in this series then this is a must read and if you haven’t then absolutely start with this book first – the author sets a suspenseful scene with Salvation! It is only a short read but it is jammed packed full of action, suspense and mystery. I thoroughly enjoyed reading it and recommend it 100%!!

Finding Juniper (Smoke Series Book 3) by Sadia Ash – Review by Erica Fish

Finding JuniperFinding Juniper by Sadia Ash
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Finding Juniper is the third book in the Smoke Series by Sadia Ash. This is not a stand-alone book and you will benefit from reading the first two books. Ms. Ash does an amazing job keeping the characters real and as close to normal friends as possible. Juniper is a real book friend that I can relate with her situation. She has lost her trust and hope in relationships. Kyle has broken Juniper’s trust, hope, and heart. Will Juniper be able to forgive Kyle? This emotional roller coaster of a ride will tug on your heart strings. I found myself asking questions of Juniper like she was sitting next to me or across from me. I had a box of tissues and a nice cozy spot to read Finding Juniper. Make sure you can read the story in its entirety and keep that box of tissues close.

Beneath the Surface (Gray Ghost #3)Beneath the Surface by Amy McKinley
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I have to admit when I started reading the Gray Ghost Novel set, I knew I was going to just love it. Amy McKinley has an amazing gift to write mystery, suspense, and romance all roll up into one. When I am reading her story, I do not feel like the focus is romance. In this story we learn about Hannah and Jack. These characters feel like good friends. Hannah is a strong character, but she has a past that she has kept secret. Jack is a member of the Gray Ghost team which is a Navy Seal team. Hannah is traveling with a secret weapon that was hijacked and Jack was deployed to recover the weapon. There is a mystery involving this weapon. Will Jack be able to complete his mission or will he have heartache over the truth of what is going on? Will Hannah open up to Jack and tell him the secrets of her past? This is one story you will have to read to find out what is going to happen to Jack, Hannah, and the secret weapon.

Caught in the Spin by Sharleen Scott a four- star read that will put you in a spin. This is the second novel in the Caught series, you could read them as stand-alone but there are spoilers due to recurring characters, so if you fancy the series do yourself a favour and read them in order. This was a great story, Tallie will be someone you warm to and understand, you will care for her as the story develops, she isn’t someone you grow to like, her story will warm you to her and its very well done. There is a lot to grip you in this story and you will enjoy this very much.

Pandora’s Poison by Sacha T.Y. Fortune a five-star read that will turn you. This is the second novel in the Hart and Cole series, and I would advise you read them in order to get the most of the story as they do follow on, and understand there is a number three coming and I know I will be eagerly anticipating it as I know its going to be a great story like this one. This is a compelling series and very gritty and shows us the true side of love and relationships the darker side that most novels won’t cover. Darren and Luisa are characters that you will get so deep with that you hear them tell their story, you don’t just read something on the page. Be warned you may not always like their story, but you will be gripped it and you will love this novel.

Best Foot Forward (The Liberty Lawrence Series #1)by Bea Stevens – Review Lisa Helmick

Best Foot ForwardBest Foot Forward by Bea Stevens
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Rated 4 stars

This is a good mystery. The story flows nicely and the characters are colorful. Liberty and Cassie, who are roomies and BFF’s, get into so much trouble together…or separately. Their antics amuse me. Liberty or Libby is the main character of the story. She is very observant as a junior manager should be. She has fun and worries about the patrons of the hotel. She really shines as she tries to figure out the case. Sergeant James Harper has repeated frustration at Liberty for taking the law into her own hands. His worry that she could endanger herself is a pretty valid reason. She seems to have a nose for clues as well as is accident prone. If only he didn’t fancy her so much his job might be easier Working and living in a hotel would be different. The crew feels like family but they are not and jealousy and friendship are all around. Everyone’s lives seem to intertwined. The bartender, the front desk, the chef, waitresses and more.

This isn’t my first Book by this author. I enjoy how she tells the story. The characters are flavorful and abundant. It’s a good read for some mystery, a little romance and a some fun.

5-stars

It’s books like this one that have me wishing I could rate more than 5-stars and completely fueling my reading addiction. Caught in the Spin is a phenomenal romance read that I thoroughly enjoyed! Somehow, I loved this book more than the first one and that’s saying something since I LOVED that one! Tallie and Tom’s story was completely addicting, I quickly forgot about the real world as I got captivated in this thrilling romance read! There were many twists and turns and I couldn’t wait to figure everything out.

Sharlene Scott is a new to me author and I can honestly say that she’s quickly made her way on my list of favorites. Her writing is incredible, the stories flow seamlessly and there’s so much detail that it’s almost impossible not to connect with the characters.

I would absolutely recommend this series and book to anyone looking for their next romance read!

Not So Broken (Love Grows Series Book #1) by Renee Regent – Review by Angela Hayes

Not So Broken (Love Grows Series, # 1)Not So Broken by Renee Regent
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

 

Not So Broken is the first book in the Love Grows series by Renee Regent. This story was a surprising experience, because even though I knew from the blurb that I would enjoy it, I just didn’t expect for it to creep its way under my skin and into my heart quite the way it did. Yes, the storyline was a little bit predictable, but it was so well written, and the characters were so wonderfully complex, that the predictability didn’t matter. I was invested and along for the ride, no matter what.
Gibson Colebank is the heir to the Colebank fortune, and a wealthy man in his own right- so why would he be living in a small country town and working as a handyman? Well, a tragedy shattered his world a year earlier, and Gib ‘checked out’ of his life- he found his way to Tilly, Georgia- and has lived a simple life ever since. He can’t face the life he lived before, guilt weighs too heavily on his shoulders. He has no interest in relationships and pretty much keeps to himself, in his simple cabin in the picturesque hills. He thinks he’s better off alone, as he really has nothing to offer anyone, anyway. But an out of character night out, changes everything- and turns his simple life upside down.
Sacha Rowan is a Rep in Liquor Sales. Her Job takes her all over the country, clocking up thousands of miles every year. Her hard work and dedication has seen her rise to the top of her field, now with a new promotion in sight. But she’s not getting any younger- her biological clock is ticking very loudly and the window to motherhood is closing, she has pretty much given up on having a child of her own. She has goals and is on a mission to fulfill her dreams- and failure isn’t an option. She is focused on her plans, her work, and success- her plans don’t include a man, especially after a bitter divorce left her reeling- she now has no interest in a relationship, ever. Stopping in town on business, a night out at the local bar will bring about a surprising development, which may just change everything.
This billionaire/contemporary romance was really well done- with secrets, baggage, angst, push-pull, some drama, trust issues, wonderful characters, a great storyline, sexy scenes, hot and steamy moments, and plenty of emotion. I was definitely invested in the outcome from very early on in the story. It was a little predictable, but I non-the-less enjoyed the journey that the author and characters took me on. There were times where Sacha really annoyed and frustrated me with her stubborn and argumentative nature. Her Ice Queen routine wore a bit thin at times, and some of the push-pull was quite maddening. But through it all, the story coaxed me on. The emotional quality to the story really surprised me, and yes, I shed a few tears. I particularly loved Marvil, one of the secondary characters, and he really stole a lot of the scenes he was in- while adding an extra element to the overall storyline.
I can’t wait for “Not So Wrong” (Book #2) to be released, because if this first story is anything to go by, book #2 is set to be fantastic!

Thank you, Ms. Regent!

Shattered Love (Forever Us Series Book #1) by Nivia Borell – Review by Angela Hayes

Shattered LoveShattered Love by Nivia Borell
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

3 ½ Stars

Shattered Love is the first book in the Forever Us series and the debut novel by Nivia Borell. It has a bit of a ‘star-crossed-lovers’ feel to the story, with secrets, drama, a conniving and jealous 3rd party, romance, and lots of push-pull/angst.
Bria du Mont and Damien du Sky had been neighbours and best friends since childhood. Their plans for the future always include each other- they really thought that their love would last forever. But when Damien finds Bria in bed with another man, their once ‘perfect’ love shatters. Pain and heartache follow them both. Bria has no recollection of the incident, but her world splinters apart, leaving her with ‘broken heart syndrome’, emotionally bereft, and with no closure in sight. Damien self medicates through his pain, using alcohol and women to ease his pain. He carves himself a reputation as a bit of a playboy, but because of his experience with Bria, the now ruthless CEO won’t ever let himself love again. Neither have truly moved on, still stuck in the past. Still unable to really stay away. So, what happens when secrets about that fateful night are revealed? Will it change everything?
The author has a bit of a lyrical/poetic style to her writing which was easy to read. The story does jump around time wise- past to present and back again. The transitions aren’t always as smooth as they could be, which did disrupt the flow of the story just a little bit.
The story is told from several perspectives, which gives an extra element of interest. The characters were well developed, but I didn’t connect to them and their story quite the way I had hoped I would. I don’t know why, maybe I was having an ‘off’ day. The story is set to continue in the next book… and I am intrigued to read book #2!

Thank you, Ms. Borell!

Nite Fire: Chain Reaction by C.L. Schneider – Review by Melissa Agena

Chain Reaction (Nite Fire, Book 2)Chain Reaction by C.L. Schneider
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Just as good second time around! Nite Fire: Chain Reaction is Book 2 in the series by C.L. Schneider. A continuation of the first book, which means that you really need to read the first one, Dahlia goes on a mission that could save an entire city. She has a new human partner named Creed and is a consultant now for the police department helping out with the “non-human” profiling. This time a mutating drug named Chrysalis has shown up into the city and its Dahlia’s job to find the source and stop it before it takes over everyone in the city. While working on the case, she continuously learns human behavior and is having a hard time with all the secrets that are being unleashed. Once again, I have to say that I don’t love Sci-Fi books but this one, I have to say I really do like and cannot wait to read the next book in the series. The author has a way with words and knows how to draw you in and keep you interested. There are so many twists and turns that you don’t expect, which to me makes for a really good and interesting read. If you are into sci-fi, dragons, the paranormal, and kick ass chicks…this is the series for you! If you don’t believe me, the read it yourself! You really will not be disappointed!

I loved being able to dive into Chain Reaction by C.L. Schneider without a problem. I love that it follows Flash Point, in the Nite Fire Series.

Caught in the Spin (the Caught Series Book 2) By Sharleen Scott. I love a good book with romance and suspense in it and this one check those boxes completely. While you could read this as a standalone I’d recommend doing them in order because past characters show up in this one also. Tallie and Tom are definitely characters I won’t be forgetting anytime soon. Tallie’s character is one of my favorite female characters I’ve read in a while. Their story is an adventure you can’t miss. It’s well written and and had me guessing in parts, paced nicely with great characters readers can connect with.

Pandora’s Poison was a great 5 star read and book two in the Hart & Cole series.
I was so excited to get my hands on this book and I wasn’t disappointed.

We continue the story from book one, which I highly suggest you read first.
Darren and Luisa are working on some serious problems. Darren is trying to keep his family together but Luisa just isn’t convinced they can make it work. She has to make some choices that could help her in the long run but will they be the right ones?

Can they make things work or will they end up in divorce?

We get different POV’s which brings you into the story even more, you feel the emotions that they are each having. We see a lot more of Luisa in this book and we get some answers to her actions that caused their problems. Is Darren really the victim?

I really liked both characters although Darren at times rubbed me the wrong way, especially with the way he would talk to Luisa. My emotions were all over the place once again. Sacha T. Y. Fortuné pulled me right in and now I can’t wait for the next book in the series. Overall this is a great series that I highly suggest.

Jenny is the owner of Torzial and Kate’s best friend. She has fought for everything she has. Having just left an abusive relationship, she must pick up the pieces and carry on. Romance and dating is no longer for her.
Brian the owner of Carrington Steel, as well as best friend to Chase. Women only want to know him for his name and money. Therefore women will never get close to him. He will bed them and walk them to the door. Nobody stays at his home or gets a call back. So why is Jenny under his skin?

If you read Kate and Chase’s Story, The Prestian Series, well welcome to Jenny and Brian’s story, The Torzial Series. Written by the same great author,Via Mari. This book is just as intense. Fast paced and non stop action. I love that she continued with the characters from the first series. They are just as intriguing and just as strong. And just as hot in the romance department. I am looking forward to see where this series goes. Well Done Via Mari!!!

This book was so sweet and really good. Everything was evenly paced until we got to about 90% and then it seemed like a race to the finish. The characters, Gibson and Sacha, acted like they just realized the credits were going to roll and they needed to get everything in before the end. The ending was everything I hoped it would be and I enjoyed the overall story!

The main male character, Gibson, oh he is manly, strong, smart and when understands and cherishes Sacha’s strong and independent character, he is even more dreamy!

“She was a beautiful, strong woman who didn’t need a man. Yet here she was, leaving me in control of her pleasure.”

The main female character, Sacha, is smart, independent, bold and beautiful. She knows what she wants.

While this was my first book by this author I am trying to patiently wait for the next story.

Please do not be put out by the free verse, give yourself a moment and you will not regret slowing down and digging into the story.

Pandora’s Poison (Hart & Cole Book 2) by Sacha T.Y. Fortune. This is a contemporary romance and it’s soooo good. I knew the minute I read the first book I was going to love Ms. Fortune’s writing and I’m hooked. This is the story of Darren & Luisa who you meet in the first book. This is the story of a marriage and all the things that can tear a marriage apart; lies, betrayal, ego. It’s also about trying to mend the marriage once all of these things take place. Darren thought he had forgiven Luisa until Gianni comes back into the picture wanting a relationship with the daughter Darren has raised. Darren has every right to wonder if that’s all he’s really back for. Darren doesn’t know if he’s strong enough to go thru all of this again. He’s had his heart broken before and doesn’t want to go down that road again. Darren is a workaholic but he loves his family. Trust me, don’t start this book until you’ve read book one so you will have more of a back story on Darren & Luisa. I can’t wait to read book 3!

I loved how I felt I was inside the story right there with Detective Edward Petrosky and rode the emotional roller coaster he is on. This story is where it all begins. So I highly recommend reading this book first. I learned about the characters in this story which gave great insight for the Detective Edward in the other books. I am afraid if I keep talking I will give spoilers and that would not be good for anyone. So sit down, grab your most comfortable blanket, get tissue, and settle in to start with Salvation: An Ash Park Prequel.
