Killer Lawyer (Jake Wolfe Book 3)
By: Mark Nolan
5 out of 5 stars

The story Killer Lawyer (Jake Wolfe Book 3) by Mark Nolan is the next amazing book in a series that is thrilling and page-turning. It took me on a ride that hooked me in from the very beginning and didn’t let me go until the final page. I loved reading about the character of Jake Wolfe. He is a man who is tough and intelligent. He believes in consequences for those who commit wrongs. He is also someone who will help those in need. This story has Jake searching for a serial killer who is spreading fear by shooting random victims. Jake is a man that is protective of those he cares about and has a strong sense of justice. When hunting this killer, he uses his skills and contacts. Jake is very resourceful and determined. Will Jake be able to stop the killer before anyone that he cares about or even himself becomes the next victim? Read this story to find out. The other character that I enjoyed reading about is Jake’s very intelligent war dog, Cody. These two are a team and have a bond so strong that either of them would give their life for the other. This story has intriguing interactions/dialogue between the characters. The way that the story is written I felt like I was right there with Jake and Cody. If you love your stories with plenty of action and adventure this is the book for you. It is a story I would highly recommend reading.

Bad Things Happen: Gripping Psychological Suspense (Ashes to Ashes Book 1)
By: Rowena Holloway
5 out of 5 stars

The story Bad Things Happen: Gripping Psychological Suspense (Ashes to Ashes Book 1) by Rowena Holloway is a mystery/thriller that I loved reading. There are suspenseful moments that had me wondering what would happen next. It hooked me in from the beginning and at times had me holding my breath. I loved reading about the character of Charlotte Ashe. She is a woman who is looking to become more than just the “weather girl.” She wants a story that will get her noticed. When presented with a scoop that is just too good to pass up, she soon finds herself in an investigation that has many questions to answer and trying to find out the truth behind the death of Joey Baptiste, the man who had come to her with the scoop, to begin with. She is determined to push forward in the search for answers. She also has to ask herself just who she can trust and is she herself now in danger? Will Charlotte find out the whole truth? Read this book to find out. Charlotte is a character that is resourceful and not one to give up easily. I loved how the story is told in such a way that I felt like I was right there with Charlotte in her investigation. There are secondary characters that are introduced in the story. Trying to put together what part some of them play was like putting together a puzzle. This is a book that had me turning pages. If you love mystery and suspense this a perfect story for you. Highly recommended.

The Crazy Yates by Kimberly Packard
5 out of 5 stars
The Crazy Yates is written by Kimberly Packard and it’s the first book that I have read by this author. The characters are amazing, the storyline is great and the description is awesome.
This is a short Christmas story about a family down on their luck but they have each other.
Callie Yates loved her family unconditionally, how she simply stepped up to the plate and did what had to be done for her family. She soon realizes how she also had lost herself and how she needed to be reminded of what a true family is and let them in.
I’m not going to say anything else because I don’t want to give anything away.
I really enjoyed this book and author and will be reading more by her.

Surviving Jordan (Surviving Series Book 3)Surviving Jordan by Virginia Wine
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I have absolutely fallen in love with this series. Virginia Wine as a way of weaving an intricate web and pulls you right from the get go!

This is the story of Ben and Jordan. Ben’s feelings for Jordan were so real and genuine but he always felt that she was forbidden for him to pursue. Jordan just wanted someone to care and love in life and when Ben starts to pull away, she starts questioning it all. This book has a whole lot of suspense and drama with all the feels mixed in between.

This has been an amazing series to read and I highly recommend this series for anyone who’s ready to get sucked in an unputdownable series!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Heart of a Hunk is a collection of hunks you need to check out!! I am giving this a five-star rating even though not all of them are five-star reads as there were a couple of standout reads that just meant I couldn’t rate any lesser than a five. It should be confusing as there are 25 authors each telling a different story and including different characters, the hunks are just sublime and there is something for everyone, no matter the genre you read you will find one. Tamara Ferguson and her story Kiss under a Blue Moon, will steal your heart and may never let you have it back. It will warm even the coldest of hearts, especially when it makes you think of Christmas and a love you may have let go of. The other stand out for me was Allyson R Abbott whom I have read before and enjoyed but this time Foxxy’s Christmas blew me away, the best read by this author I’ve read, the chemistry that was written between these pages creates a thermonuclear reaction is so powerful.

This was such an enjoyable read. I have to say I really loved the cover, it’s really unusual. I have read books by this author before and know she has a really nice writing style so I was looking forward to reading her new release. I loved the setting and storyline for this story and have to admit it’s the first of its kind that I have read – I have read stories with characters from different ethnicities before but this is the first Bollywood story that I have read and it was really good. The author’s use of descriptive language enabled me to get that beautiful, colourful vividness in my imagination that I know Bollywood is famous for. I loved reading Vir and Soumya’s story; I loved the connection they had even if they did deny it! The author’s attention to detail meant that the story flowed really well and I read it in one sitting. I would absolutely recommend this book – it is a very entertaining read that will keep your interest throughout.

This was my first book by this author, but it certainly won’t be my last. I can honestly say that I was easily able to follow along with this book having not read the first one. Ellen writes with so much detail that made it easy for me to be swept up in the storyline and completely forgetting about the outside world. Karina leads a truly one of a kind life that makes for a highly entertaining read.

THE MOTHER-IN-LAW is a super quick read and I was able to speed right through it. It is a little predictable, but I assumed that going into it. I read the blurb before picking up the book so knew what the story was about. Therre were no surprises as the book developed.

This is my third book by this author and I loved it, this might have been my favorite so far. I think because this one touched me in a more personal way. I actually found myself crying through many parts of this story, and it was written so beautifully and felt so very real. There was 2 or even maybe 3 stories going on in this one book in my opinion and they were all Elena’s. I love how the author weaved them all into one and I’ll be honest I didn’t want the book to end. I can’t really explain it without going into too much detail and ruining it for someone else. I’m not normally a fan of flashing back in time but the way this was done in this book was spot on and very much needed to get the full impact of where Elena was in her life and how she got there, and then there was West! I could gush about him for the rest of this review but I’m not going to…

I can’t recommend this story enough, I can see this story touching different people in different ways but I know how it touched me and it is a definite reread for me somewhere in the near future.

I absolutely Loved it!!!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Surviving the Storm by Virginia Wine is book two of the Surviving Series. Due to content and language this book is suggested for readers 18+. It is suggested that you read book one first so you get the whole story.

Aww has strived not to follow his father’s footsteps however, being a lawyer doesn’t stack up for his father. Alex doesn’t mind though, he’s glad to be out of his father’s shadow. His line of work is how he meets Madison. There is instant chemistry but Alex doesn’t find out until it’s too late that Madison is unavailable. Alex has never had feelings so strong but will there be a future for him and Madison?

What I enjoyed about this book is while the main focus was Alex and Madison, the book also picked up the story line from the main characters of book one. It’s nice that they didn’t instantly just go to the background. I enjoyed reading the interactions between all the characters. This book takes you on an emotional rollercoaster but it is so worth it! I can’t wait to read book three.

Wish Upon a Bollywood Star by Pamela Q. Fernandes is one surprising read. I wasn’t too keen to take up this book but once I started I must admit I really enjoyed it. ​It is a very original story that is interesting and engaging and did make me laugh but I did want to smack both the main characters at times, because if they both just sat down and talked so much could be avoided but hey that’s why stories are written. The story is fast paced and drama filled but kept you glued to the pages to find out how it all ends.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Surviving Jordan (Surviving Series Book 3) by Virginia Wine​ is one incredible storyline that I loved. With romance and mystery, thrills and spills, danger and suspense, action and intrigue, it has it all and let’s not forget evil. It is an amazing journey and the wonderful characters from the other books in this series star right along with them. The chemistry sizzles and is sweet and sexy that heats up the pages. It is a definite page turner.

Ben has been in love with her since the day he first saw her but what he learns turns his life upside down. It can’t be true, can it? Now he has to know or lose her forever.

Jordan doesn’t know what changed but her heart is being ripped in two. Why now? What made it change? When someone new walked into her life she believed she could move on. But even that was thrown away from her.

Steel had to walk away and in walking away he finally believed he had met his match.

I thoroughly enjoyed this series and I so hope that we get to read more of Steel. He is my man.

Brienne Dubh is a new author to me, and I have to say that I will be following her. Her book Awakening Of A Soul Keeper: Prequel To The Soul Keeper Series is a very intriguing story. Brienne has done an amazing job of character building. For each character, I feel that I really know and understand what each character is all about. I was pulled into the story relating to Theodora. It is a fast-moving story which helped keep my attention in the story and not in my surroundings. The story is about Theodora who is put into a world of vampires, lies, violence, and has found out that she is the keeper of her husband’s boss’ soul. This proves to be interesting because she is caught in situations that she cannot help to a point.

Wish Upon a Bollywood Star by Pamela Q. Fernandes – Review by Tracy Wilkin

Wish Upon a Bollywood StarWish Upon a Bollywood Star by Pamela Q. Fernandes
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Wish Upon a Bollywood Star by Pamela Q. Fernandes is a quirky, entertaining little romance that was totally unexpected. I had no idea what to expect going into this story, and while at times it was extremely frustrating, it shocked me a little just how much I enjoyed it.

This story was not written in a clinical way. It was written in a highly emotional context. Both main characters were highly driven, highly strung, and highly likeable. Engagement between these two was hilarious and never, ever boring or stilted. Always sexually aggressive were they. Without them even knowing it. The constant battles were riveting and courageous. I love going into a story not knowing what to expect, then having my mind blissfully blown. Tentatively on the edge of my seat witnessing the drama that was endless between Vir and Soumya, it was a pleasure to read of romance in a country that fascinates me. Different world location, same dance to love. No matter where you reside, the dance is always the same. And that is what makes these types of stories unforgettable. 5 stars.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Surviving Jordan by Virginia Wine is the third and final book in her Surviving series and I could not get enough of this book. Falling under the romantic suspense genre, this book easily pulls you under it’s spell and doesn’t let go from beginning to end. Following the story of Benjamin Stone and Jordan Mitchell, the passion that brought these two together was palpable through my e-reader and made from some very steamy scenes. Benjamin, even though he can feel the pull to Jordan, he had to keep himself distanced from her. His emotions run too hard and fast for a women who he knows that he can’t have. Jordan on the other hand wants to cross every line to get to Benjamin, and be damn the rules. She can’t keep her mind or her hands off of him, and is willing to do anything to get him to break for her. Can these two find a way to get their happiness or will they have to be separated by those around them? Wine is a newer to me author, having only found her from this series and boy am I happy that I found her! If you are looking for a great author that will pull you into her writing style and in depth characters than this is an author, and series, that you need to pick up straight away. This book is a must read for all of my friends!

What an adorable book! Untrainable is a romantic comedy written by Jamie Schlosser. I’ve ready Jamie’s other series, which were awesome! This book is just as good as those other ones. This one is even more adorable! This book follows Theodore “Theo” Legend. He is famous because is family had a reality tv series and he was considered the “Black Sheep” of the family. Then his parents were killed in a car accident. Hadley Holiday is famous because she was on a talent show on tv with her dog Matilda and made it to third place. Theo is now broke and the laughing stock of the press. He needs to get on the good side of the public. But he also wants Hadley too. So what does he do? He comes up with a realty show comedy where Hadley “trains” him to be a decent human being in public! She isn’t so sure of the idea but goes along with it because she was banking on winning the competition. I love the chemistry between these two! They are so different but it works for them. It doesn’t hurt that the both of them are pretty gorgeous and they both are attracted to each other. This book really is pretty funny and so sweet! I love Jaime’s writing style. It sucks you in and makes you think you are in a rom-com movie! I absolutely adore this book and I would definitely recommend a good book. You will not be sorry you bought this book!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Player was a great 5 star read and book one in the 21st Century Courtesan series. I was pulled right in from the beginning with a childhood memory that was heartbreaking for Evie. I actually finished this book in one sitting, I couldn’t put it down.

I am not a rickety shed. Will I survive the storm that blows through? -Evie

Evie is a teacher trying to take care of her mother and sister and is barely paying off her student loans. A friend offers her an opportunity to make some good money, at first she turns it down but quickly changes her mind.

She is now a very popular escort in Chicago with Ma Maison. There are several people interested in Evie. Evie is considered a problem solver and can help people. She was just about to take a 30 day leave to spend time with her family but she was personally requested by someone who needed her badly. Dylan is desperate for her help, she goes with him to a high-stakes poker party and things progressed from there. Things take an interesting twist for Evie with her family, and an unexpected stalker.

I really liked Evie’s story. There is something about her that drew me right in. All of the secondary characters added a great element to the story. We get past and present POV’s which added to the story as well. This is my first read from Pamela and I loved it, she pulls you right in with her writing. The ending isn’t what I expected and now I’m anxiously awaiting the next book to see what happens. If you’re looking for a different type of read with danger, sex, love and so much more I highly recommend this book.

A Kiss Under a Blue Christmas Moon is the 4th book in the Daydreams and Dragonflies Sweet romance series and it’s also my first book of the series. I was able to follow along easily having not read the first three books of the series. I really enjoyed this book from start to end, which is not surprising as I always enjoy this authors work!

I would recommend this anthology to anyone looking for a new romance read based on these two books alone.

The Lies We Tell by Brittany Butler – Review by Emily Walsh

The Lies We TellThe Lies We Tell
ByBrittany Butler
My Rating: 4 of 5 stars

The Lies We Tell by Brittany Butler was a okay read that was intriguing engaging, that showed how lies can build up and before you know it, you’re trapped and suffocating in them.

My first read by this author, I went in with a open mine and let myself get sucked into this original read. A look into the life of our MC, a self proclaimed liar, we are tossed from past to present, jumping around her life in pieces, a bit here and there, all told from her POV. A fairly quick read, you’re finished before you know it, with a surprising ending that makes you wonder.

To be honest, I did have some mixed feels about this read. Why? It was the jumping between past and the present and back again. I didn’t find the transitions all that smooth, and at times I was a little confused as to what year I was in. I do get why the author did this, I just think, for me, it wasn’t a smooth as it could have been.

Other then that, I very much enjoyed this relatable and relevant read. It really puts a spot of what today’s generation is like, and frankly, most of the MC’s problems could have been solved with a conversation rather than pushing it all down, lying and running. But with today’s quick gratifications, it easier to just pretend everything is good rather than deal with it. Especially failure, and you’ll find out how fast our MC can’t deal with that life lesson.

Overall, though I do have some mixed feelings about this book, the good out weight the bad, and I give it my high recommendation and my stamp of approval.

Happy Reading
