Happily Ever After: Don’t Worry, I Still Hate You By Marie Skye

I really really enjoyed this book, it was so different to what I expected when I read the synopsis. I was expecting a “cutesy” romance tale of two roommates accidentally falling in love and facing the world together – and although I did get this – I was NOT expecting the amount of steam that Skye graced us with in this story. The sexual energy between these two characters was evident from the moment we meet them both. I was fascinated by both Ash and Perrie for different reasons. I enjoyed Perrie’s “take no prisoners” attitude and the way that Skye portrayed her as a strong, independent woman while also dipping into her intimate, timid, feminine side. The contrast and the way Skye teased vulnerability in Perrie’s character was particularly captivating. I wish there was more of this book, is the only bad thing I have to say about it. I wish the book was longer and we could spend more time getting to know these two characters and their backgrounds and the reasons they behave the way they do. I would have liked to learn more about Ash’s friends and the way he interacts with them, and I would have LOVED to know even just a tiny bit more about what happened after the ending. I think Skye did an amazing job of leaving you wanting more and I am excited to see what else she has to offer, I really enjoy her writing style.

The Longest Run: a Ski Patrol Rescue Romance (Lawson Family #4) by Tracey Cramer-Kelly – Review by Karyn Taylor

The Longest RunThe Longest Run by Tracey Cramer-Kelly
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The Longest Run is the 4th book in the Lawson Family Series by Tracey Cramer-Kelly. Each book concentrates on the story of one of the Lawson siblings and can be read as a standalone but as I’ve read and loved all 4 books, I recommend that you read them all. I’m sure you won’t regret it.
In this book we finally get the story of the 1 female Lawson sibling. Poor Carly has been overshadowed by her brothers and any prospective boyfriend is treated to the over protective brothers routine. I love Carly as a character. She’s loving her job, loving life and definitely not looking for a long term romance. Just someone to keep her bed warm during the winter ski season and then move on. Until she met Chris Markham.
Chris Markham was an Olympic potential skier until he suffered a serious accident that left him a paraplegic. Being a strong and resilient man, Chris is still determined to continue skiing and join the Paralympic team. Chris is probably one of my favourite male characters that I’ve read in a long time. I applaud Tracey Carmer-Kelly for having the leading man in her book as a wheelchair user. It’s very rare to read a romance novel with one of the main characters in a wheelchair. In fact I think this is only the 2nd book I have read like this and I’ve read a LOT of books. Chris is an amazing character and I loved reading his and Carly’s story.
I’d definitely categorise this book as a MUST read!

Jordan's Justice: A New Adult Sport Romance (Tessa and Jordan Book 2)Jordan’s Justice: A New Adult Sport Romance by T. Christensen
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the 2nd book in the Tessa and Jordan series and is just as enjoyable as the first. I would highly recommend reading the first book as this is the continuing of the character stories. This books is filled with so much emotion that the author takes you on a rollercoaster from start to finish and your not sure where you are going to end up.

Jordan and Tessa’s relationship ended in a bad way. With Tessa pregnant and getting am abortion so Jordan was told by his mother.
However that isn’t the case.

3 years later Jordan and Tessa meet again and he is filled with anger at Tessa for aborting their baby. So imagine his shock and his intensified angry when he finds out the baby lives and he knew nothing about it.
With Jordan being angry and hurt he holds all the cards to make or break Tessa’s life if she doesn’t do as he says.

Can Jordan ever forgive Tessa? Will he always believe his mums story? Will Jordan and Tessa be able to rebuild what they once had? Or has too many lies and too much hurt past for that to even be an option?

The Buccaneers of St. Frederick IslandThe Buccaneers of St. Frederick Island by Linda Maria Frank
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

 

“….one night last summer at our club house which is just a shack on the beach, we decided to form our own little PI group, that’s Private Investigator. We voted on and accepted our official title, Buccaneers of St.Besillius. Look. You can’t beat our creativity in naming the group. We even researched St. BS. She’s the patron saint of mimes.
As we gathered around the fire, we wrote up a charter including the following:

✔ Each member is sworn to secrecy, under pain of… what? Oh, I don’t know.
✔ All clues are to be shared by everyone.
✔ All communications would be done using our code names. Mine is Sprocket.
✔ Our meeting place would be the old fishing shack on the beach.
We made a list of our code names.
Lily code name Sprocket, all around smarty, leader, that’s me.
Ryan: code name Bletch, general genius.
Frank: code name Wingnut, mechanical genius, and a bit dippy.
Leon: code name Snap Shackle, math genius, can put two and two together.
Amalie: code name Ratchet, electronic surveillance, or just plain snoop, meaning she can use a camera.

And so, the story begins.”

 

The Buccaneer’s of St. Frederick’s Island by Linda Maria Frank is a book aimed at younger readers- and is a bit of a swashbuckling kids adventure story. There is crime, friendship, history, Catholic school, nuns, priests, drama, danger, mystery, and fun.
We join the young private-eyes as they endeavour to track down who stole the money from the church, that was meant to go to charity. Add some humour, banter, and just a little mayhem- and you get a fun read.

Thank you, Linda Maria Frank!

Askew Ever After: A Limited Edition Romance Collection Anthology – Review by Angela Hayes

Askew Ever AfterAskew Ever After by Aubrey Wynne
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

 

Askew Ever After: A Limited Edition Romance Collection brought together some wonderfully talented storytellers, each creating their own unique and individual story to add to this wonderful anthology. There are quite a few hours of pleasurable reading to be had here, with something to suit all romantics.
I have read a few of these author’s work before and love what they do. But most of the authors were new-to-me, so I really enjoyed exploring their work, getting a feel for what they do, and having more authors and books to add to my TBR. All the stories are really great- so do yourself a favour and grab a copy and start exploring the numerous enticing stories this anthology has to offer.

Authors included in this collection are:

-Twin Crucibles By: Dusty Grein
-Heart of Stone (An Amaryllis Outcasts Romance) By: Mandy Melanson & Elle Ryan
-Entanglement (A Godcode Novel) By: Adam Johnson
-Chasing Kadence By: Summer Davis
-Paper Love (A Chicago Christmas #2) By: Aubrey Wynne
-Sink Or Swim By: SD Dalessandro
-The Incubus Incursion By: Kyrii Rayne
-Under The Covers (A Friends to Lovers Novella) By: Krista Ames
-Turn the Page By: Rebecca Lovell
-Skin Deep (A Contemporary RomCom) By: A.J Mullican
-Blue Jeans and Bubble Baths (Lone Tree Ranch Romance) By: Dawn Luedecke
-Jupiter’s Curse By: Angelique Jordonna
-Second Chance (the conclusion of the “Flowers In December” trilogy) By: Jane Suen
-‘Twas the Night Before Murder By: Angela Scavone
-Her Generous Duke (Clean Regency Romance) By: Arietta Richmond
-Paint It Black By: Desire Luna
-Tomorrow May Be Too Late By: Jotham Austin, II
-Psychic (The Company of Spies Book #1) By: Tienna Wilde
-Love At First Strike By: S.M Nicholas
-Echoes of Yesterday By: Daniel Craig Roche
-Hunter (Billionaire Brothers Book One) By: Love Hadley
-Shattered Moon By: ShennonDoah Helms
-A Peek Into Forever (the opening to “One Night Forever’) By: Amy C. Beckinsale

There is a wide variety of stories (and elements) such as contemporary romance, second chances, sister’s bestfriend, friends to lovers, romcom, holiday/Christmas, billionaire, historical/regency, drama, chemistry, finding love unexpectedly, emotion, suspense, interesting and likeable characters- and so much more.
Just to mention a couple of my favourites-
Paper Love (A Chicago Christmas Book #2) by Aubrey Wynne was such a cute and sweet holiday romance. I really enjoyed meeting Joss and Ben- they really were perfect together. I was immediately intrigued by this story because I also grew up in Papua New Guinea- spending the first 12 years of my life there, so the fact that Joss had grown up there built an immediate connection with her- then add Ben into the mix and the story really ‘sang’. I loved the pigeon and origami elements- they added another element of interest to the storyline.
Second Chance is the conclusion to the Flowers In December trilogy by Jane Suen. This sweet story is all about second chances- with a very realistic and believable storyline. Ms. Suen definitely saved the best till last, as this is my favourite of the three books, for sure.
I am happy to recommend this Anthology! It is worth every cent of the purchase price- 23 books for the price of one…. Now that’s what I call a fantastic deal!
Happy Reading!

Thank you to all the contributing authors!

A Paranormal Romantic Comedy 

New Orleans Nocturnes 

Book 1

AUDIO BOOK

By Carrie Pulkinen 

☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ 

This is a full length audible romantic novel. Let’s step into the paranormal vampire teacher vs student vs romance. The romantic comedy we are looking for.

 

Jane is the Governor’s daughter who gets what she wants, when she wants. Visiting New Orleans she falls to her demise, waking up dead. Struggling to accommodate her new Death/life. Finding blood is the last thing she wants to do. Oh lets not forget she passes out at the sight of blood. Ethan had his heart broken when he lost his true love. Jane however reminds him of her. Thinking she is reincarnated, he must get to know Jane. Although shortly after marking her, he realizes his mistake. Now he must do what he can to keep them both from getting staked.

 

Carrie Pulkinen has done it again. This story captivated my interest on page one. The characters Jane and Ethan both keep this comedy going. I have to say this story kept me laughing. As well as cheering for them both. This well written romance was fun to read. I can’t wait to see where the story will take us next. Well done Carrie Pulkinen! Well Done!

Echoes: Lucifer and the Dark Goddess by Nikki Broadwell – Review by Kendra Aubry

/0 Comments/in /by

EchoesEchoes by Nikki Broadwell
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Echoes: Lucifer and the Dark Goddess is the first in Nikki Broadwell’s new dystopian series.
Feirin wakes up with no memories of her past, her powers, or her mission in this time and place. Racism and classism are rampant in the cities, and the desert beyond the concrete wall is desolate and uninhabitable. Feirin is tasked with helping the people find their humanity again and reintroduce the gods to this place.

This is a well written dystopian novel that stands apart from the crowd- an adult take on the usual post-apocalypse world. Imagine if you will, Mad Max with a bit of magic thrown in. The characters are well developed, with relatable strengths and flaws, and they face off with a truly formidable enemy. Broadwell has created a universe that is well established for future sequels.

Crave: An Instant Attraction Romantic Comedy (Clark Family Series) by Evelyn Sola is a contemporary romance story. There are a lot of relationships, family dynamics (what a mess they are), drama and angst, betrayal and emotion in this book. There is also some banter that is fun and made me smile.

Jacob and Sandy have a unique connection and lots of passion after a slow burn.

I wonder where Evelyn will take us next.

Athalie (Sacrificial Chronicles Book 1)Athalie by Jordan Elizabeth
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

 

Athalie is the first book in the Sacrificial Chronicles by Jordan Elizabeth. This is a YA fantasy with action, adventure, discovery, danger, drama, challenges, paranormal elements, Gods, and high stakes, with the fate of the world under threat.
Athalie has a lot of responsibility on her shoulders- the fate of the world to be exact. After being chosen for her people’s yearly sacrifice, she is resurrected by the Gods and given a quest in order to save the world. A weapon ha fallen into the hands of the Emperor who has plans to use it against the enemy- but he doesn’t realise that unleashing that power will actually annihilate their world. Athalie will need to track down the talismans needed to negate the power of the weapon. And so the adventure begins.
I loved the beautiful cover, and the synopsis was quite original and interesting, so I one-clicked a copy and immediately started the adventure. This story sets the Sacrificial Chronicles off to a bit of an epic start, with fascinating details and wonderful character/s.
This is the second book of Jordan Elizabeth’s that I have read- and is my favourite of the two, by far. I am so glad that I took the chance on this book- I will definitely be reading the rest of the series as I need to know where we go from here.
Bring on Book #2!!

Thank you, Jordan Elizabeth!

Ride with the Moonlight (Thunder On The Moor Book 2) by Andrea Matthews is a historical romance but not your typical historical romance. It is a time travel tale where Maggie and her family travel back in time. Andrea is passionate her history and it that passion that makes this unique story an interesting read. Being set in Scotland makes for a beautiful background. As with the first book there is plenty of action and danger and interesting facts to be learnt, as we Andrea provides narrative of life of a Border Reiver on the run.

Maggie finds a man and they are on the run. Will Maggie be able to keep him safe?

The Longest RunThe Longest Run by Tracey Cramer-Kelly
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

 

The Longest Run: A Ski Patrol Rescue Romance is the fourth book in the Lawson Family series by Tracey Cramer-Kelly. It is a sweet and emotive sports romance that covers guilt, disability, drama, secrets, forgiveness, skiing, family, hope, and Love.
I have loved reading the Lawson Family series and meeting the family. Each book can be read as a standalone if you wanted- but there is a lot to be had by reading all four books.
This is Carly’s turn, and she has been carrying the burden of guilt for so long now- it is holding her back in many ways. On the surface she seems to have an enviable life, working as a rafting guide in the Summer months, and on the ski patrol during winter. She has no plans on settling down, enjoying her bachelorhood- or so she thought.
Chris has been through so much, but he hasn’t let it beat him- working harder than ever to achieve his Olympic dreams. He is focused and determined, nothing can distract him- until Carly comes along. Being drawn to someone was the last thing he expected. But will they come to terms with the past, open up, and take a chance on love? You’ll have to read the story to find out.
This was such a well written story, with fully developed and endearing characters. I am looking forward to the next book, Connor’s story.

Thank you, Ms. Cramer-Kelly!

Matching Miriam by Mya O’Malley

I have read several books by Ms. O’Malley and throughly enjoyed each one of them and how several are connected and this one was no different. I’m not a big fan of ghosts or the paranormal but I find myself making sure I read Ms. O’Malley’s books when I see she has a new one.  Each of these can be read as a standalone but they are connected to other books and they are referenced.

Miriam is as tough as nails as they come, but when you are a female in a male dominated profession like being a Police Detective she has no choice, but we learn there is so much more to her.  She’s hunting a killer and I was floored by the ending.  Last person I expected it to be which made me like this book that much more.  I hate predictable storyline and this was anything but.

I of course loved seeing Zelda (the cat) and meeting the two kittens. Animals tend to be my favorite characters regardless,  but when their personalities are as apparent as they are in this it makes me love them more.

I want to know what happens with a few people and I’m hoping to see their story eventually, hopefully sooner than later.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Dance of Hearts: A Cinderella Regency Romance Retelling by Byrd Nash is a wonderful retelling of the Cinderella story. The story takes place in 1816 England. We first meet Melinda Wychwood when her father’s ailing health keeps her at home to spend the precious time left to him and also to manage the estate. After his death, her father’s estate passed to a distant cousin and Melinda basically turns onto a servant in the very home she grew up in.
This story is well written and I was hooked right away. The characters are lovely other than the cousin’s family who anyone can tell are not kind to Miss Mychwood.
You can’t go wrong with a story like Cinderella – this retelling takes it to the next level. It’s a novella so it doesn’t take long to read it but you will adore it.

Crave (Clark Family #1) by Evelyn Sola was a great 5 star read.
I was pulled right in and couldn’t put it down.

Sandra is getting ready for a girls night when her mom talks her into delivering a cake for her. What she didn’t expect was to be invited to stay and meet a hot as heck man.

Jacob wasn’t thrilled about going to his mother’s birthday party but meeting Sandra made it a little easier. These two had an instant attraction and I loved how he really tried to impress her with charm. Then all heck breaks loose and Sandra sees a side of him that she doesn’t want to be a part of and she leaves the party.

He finds her a few days later, will he be able to convince her to go out with him? Are they destined for a HEA?

Overall I really enjoyed this read. We get twists and turns and I loved their chemistry.
I really felt for Jacob and the issues he was having with his brother, pure betrayal. These two were perfect for each other and I couldn’t get enough of them. It was an opposites attract type of read for me. I can’t wait to read more from this author and series. If you’re looking for a read with great characters, 1-click and get started today.

This is not my first book by Mya O’Malley and it will not be my last book by her. Matching Miriam is a suspenseful crime book with a romance mixed into the plotline. The characters are relatable and I could feel myself within their circle of friends. This book kept me on my toes. There were twists and turns in the book, some I saw and some I did not see. I will say once you start reading this book you are not going to want to stop. In other words, make sure you are all set to read this book in one sitting. We have met Miriam in the Maggie series. I love when authors carry characters from other books because it is a great feeling to know that you have a little inside knowledge of the character. Miriam is a strong, tough, and a bad mama jammer. She does not back down from anything. She has landed a one of a kind case that she is focusing on, the serial killer case Decade Killer. Not only is she having this tough case but a heartthrob of her past comes back and she is trying to juggle her life. Will Miriam be able to keep her focus with all the distractions? Will she solve the Decade Killer case? Will her heartthrob throw a wrench into her investigation? I highly recommend this book.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

When you have to give up the man of your dreams, then four years later your life is getting there and you are coming to terms with the decisions you made. A blast from the past comes blowing in and when he’s angry with you, can you both get past the betrayal.

Tessa has a new life and four years on her life is starting to get back on track, she still thinks about the boy she left behind but she had no choice. While getting on with life in walks a major part of her life that she thought she would never see again, Jordan.

Jordan is still hurt and angry after Tessa left and although four years has gone he still feels angry at her disappearance, until one day he walks in a spots her again. Will he be able to forgot or will his anger and betrayal be too much.

First of all, although this a great story in its own right you may need to read the first book as it sets up the story before and although this does have some detail you may need to follow. The story is brilliant, its great to see the two of them four years after Tessa left and with the emotions running high for both of them it makes a great read.

Although I understood Jordan’s reaction to the information he finds out he does not proceed in a sensible way although he is willing to listen I think he still acts like an a$$ and his family was even worst. I did feel sorry for Tessa and that she was trying to get her life together but while she is trying to live her complicated life in walks Jordan and throws everything into turmoil.

The book is well written and the characters are brilliantly created and interact, I loved the second book in this series and can’t wait to read the next book for this great author.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I was so excited to see my preorder finally arrive in my kindle and couldn’t wait to dive in. This is a fantastic collection of stories that are quick and easy reads. If you enjoy romance stories that cover quite a bit of ground, this collection is one you will enjoy. One stand out for me was “Paper Love” by Aubrey Wynne. I immediately connected with Joss and loved reading about her and Ben. It was an emotional story that connected to the heart. Loved this story and the entire collection. Recommended for all romance lovers.

I can’t help it, I am truly a sucker for romance! Paper love by Aubrey Wynne is one out of a small collection, and definitely one that stands out! This is my first book from this author, but i assure you, after this wonderful read, it will not be the last. The story of Joss and Ben is slow, but beautiful. I didn’t like Ben at first, but by the end i had fallen almost as in love with him as Joss! This is just an overall very sweet story, as well as incredibly well written. I loved reading along with their story, but at the same time, i loved seeing the work and detail the author put into this one of a kind romance story. I definitely not only recommend this book, but this talented author!

5 Stars

I love this series, I love Eve and how she cant help but get involved when she feels needed, whether anyone likes it or not LOL

This one twisted around enough to have me all confused and even truly scared a few times at what the outcome was going to be and the who that they were looking for. The who had me questioning everything throughout the book.

I loved the friendship between Eve, Cassie, and Bob and although I was suspicious of him through much of my reading I also really liked Jake and truly hope there is more coming in the future with that friendship…

I love ANYTHING Jane Suen writes, she is one of my top one clicks, her books always make you sit and think when you finish, there is always much to sort out. She has a way of twisting things so quick you don’t even realize what’s happening.

A very quick read because when you get started you have to finish in one sitting!

I Love it, as usual and can not wait for more!!
