Stormy’s Thunder by Manda Mellett
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Stormy’s Thunder is the 2nd book in the Utah series of the Satan’s Devils MC. Stormy is first introduced in previous series but most notably in the first Utah chapter book, Road Tripped. Stormy is an ex-SEAL with an attitude. Having left his club in bad standing he has a lot to prove in order to show himself worthy of his cut. As part of this, he finds himself meeting Cat, an unwilling victim of an old foe of the club. Stormy finds himself and determined to have a fresh start with his club and his woman when an old face comes back into the picture. This book is riveting from start to finish, I love Stormy and the progression his character makes from the first book. I can’t wait to see what happens next in this series.

Road Tripped by Manda Mellett
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Road Tripped is the first book in the Utah Chapter of the Satan’s Devils MC series. The book follows Road (who is introduced in the Tucson chapter’s books) as he tries to find himself after being in a horrific crash that ruins his dreams of being a professional racer. Tasked with finding out more about the elusive Utah chapter he finds that all isn’t what it seems. While there, Road is partnered up with Swift a “brother” with exceptional qualifications but a major difference. When Swift’s life is endangered Road is determined to find them and ensure that the perpetrators are found. Road Tripped introduces a range of new characters to the Satan’s Devils MC and is a brilliant start to a new series.

Don’t Worry, I Still Hate You by Marie Skye – Review by Karyn Taylor

Happily Ever After by Piper Rayne
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Don’t Worry, I Still Hate You is a quirky romance by Marie Skye. This was my first time reading an of this author’s work so I was unsure what to expect from this book.
I will admit that it took me a bit to get into this book. I was quite confused at the beginning and not exactly sure what was going on. I wondered if there had been a previous book that I should have read first. Once I got into the story and got a grip of what was happening I did enjoy the book.
I usually fall head over heels for the main characters in a book but I really didn’t take to Ash or Perrie at the beginning, probably due to the fact that I was unsure what was going on. Once I got to grips with the storyline, I began to like these characters more and more.
Overall, I did enjoy the book and would still recommend it to others. If you find it a bit hard going in the beginning then persevere with it because it is worth it in the end.

Murder at Lolly Beach (Eve Sawyer mystery series Book 2) by Jane Suen – Review by Sheri Schrader

Murder at Lolly Beach by Jane Suen
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Murder at Lolly Beach by Jane Suen is the second book in An Eve Sawyer Mystery series. This can be read and completely enjoyed as a standalone story. This is a fairly quick read that I did not want to put down. Eve thinks she is getting away from all the craziness of school but in turn, finds herself in the middle of a murder mystery while on her break. I enjoy the character of Eve and how she wants to help and get to the bottom of what is happening to the people at the beach. There are some twists and turns to keep the reader’s attention as well as a bit of a bubbling romance. I enjoyed the story and the characters. I look forward to more from this series and the author in the future.

The Longest Run by Tracy Cramer-Kelly
Four Stars

The Longest Run: A Ski Patrol Rescue Romance is the fourth book in the Lawson Family series by Tracy Cramer-Kelly. This is a sweet romance, but it also packs a punch with some significant issues discussed. This book can definitely be read as a standalone, but I recommend you read the whole series as they are all really good reads. In this book, Carly and Chris take center stage. Right from the beginning there is hot, hot, hot chemistry between the to of them. The banter is witty and they have some scorching intimate times. This book kept me reading long into the night, but it was definitely well worth the loss of sleep. I highly recommend this book, series and author.

This is a romance boxed set by an outstanding array of authors. My favorite one was Don’t Worry, I Still Hate You by Marie Skye. This particular story follows Perrie and Ash. They knew each other years ago and end up meeting up in Las Vegas. Perrie is looking for a roommate and she never thought for one second it would be Ash responding. As Perrie and Ash maneuver through their relationship as friends and then beyond, there are moments you will be really mad and other times you will laugh so hard.

Happily Ever After by Piper Rayne
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Don’t Worry, I Still Hate You by Marie Skye is part of the Happily Ever After Contemporary Romance box set.

The beginning of this particular story in the box set definitely grabbed my attention. I laughed almost immediately so I had to see where the story was going. Perrie and Ash had a fling many years ago and now coincidentally or maybe not so, they run into each other in Las Vegas and Ash ends up responding to Perrie’s roommate ad. Perrie can’t really be picky at this point so she sucks it up and does the best she can to navigate being roommates with Ash. She hates him but figures she can make this work. Eventually their relationship transforms. The book is so well written you can’t wait to see how things will play out with Perrie and Ash.

This book was such a good read. I enjoyed the dynamics between Perrie and Ash and watching them grow and change throughout the story.

Crave (Clark Family Series) by Evelyn Sola – Review by Samantha Jayne Grubey

Crave by Evelyn Sola
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

I have really mixed feelings where this book is concerned. I really like Jake and Sandy but I felt like Tracy had a bit too much focus on in this book. It felt like some scenes dragged to the point where they could have been left out in the book. At times Sandy felt way too judgemental that did at times make me want to punch her. At times I felt the secondary characters were more the main characters which probably shouldn’t have happened.

The story was full of angst, family drama, some humour, and sizzle. Overall it was an okay read for me. I didn’t love it but I didn’t hate it either. Loved some of the story the characters were okay.

Stormy’s Thunder (Satan’s Devils MC Utah #2) by Manda Mellett

5 ++++++ Stars

This author has done it again, and even more so for me. I absolutely do not like a flashback story and when this gave me the first one all I could think of was there is finally a book in all of this authors series I’m not going to be fond of. Well, that lasted about a minute and I realized I needed all those flashbacks to get past how I felt about Stormy in the first Utah book and getting his background was crucial for my understanding. My emotions were a complete mess through this whole book!!

Swift playing the part she did in this book was brilliant, and my favorite all time in this whole combination of series, Drummer was as Drummer always is, amazing!

I knew there had to be more to Stormy, I just wasn’t sure there was a way to get past my dislike of him, well I did…and it all started with a huge bang. I’m not giving away any of this storyline, I will say the first Utah chapter book really needs to be read before this one, I actually think every book in every series that involves the Satan’s Devils needs to be read to get the whole impact of each of these stories.

I loved this book, I love this author and I love that no matter how many books she writes involving these people I just can’t get enough and as always can’t wait for the next!!

Not enough stars to rate this author properly!!

This is my first read from this author and what a brilliant introduction I have had with this book. This read pulled me in from the very beginning and held me captivate the entire time. This read had everything and more, we are given ups and downs, drama, action, high emotions and most importantly twists and turns. Jacob and Sandra’s story was a whirlwind from the very beginning, they immediately have a connection and their chemistry was off the charts. This read had you on the edge of your seat, wanting to know more and more answers, and it left you reeling. I can’t wait to see what comes of this series and what other characters stories we get next! Until then I highly recommend this read, it’s not to be missed!

I love Cinderella so when I saw this I had to grab a copy. This is a historical romance/fantasy/ fairytale short story that once you start reading you won’t want to put it down till you finish. Plus this is a retelling set in Regency England in 1816. Melinda has managed the family estate until after the passing of her father, the estate is left to a cousin who treats her like a servant. After some friends come back yo town they come a plan that has secrets and twists. Will there plan work or will she be a servant forever? I highly recommend reading this and I can’t wait to read more from this Author.

Unbroken Vow by Bree M. Lewandowski – Review by Kendra Aubry

Unbroken Vow by Bree M. Lewandowski
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Unbroken Vow, the newest book from Bree M. Lewandowski, combines fantasy with futuristic qualities, all while providing a unique twist on the classic tale of a knight rescuing the feisty young woman.

Glaive Leal is a Paladin in the kingdom of Ardara- the highest rank a knight can achieve, one that reflects loyalty to his brothers-in-arms, his vow, and his king. When Glaive’s closest friend confesses a secret while he lay dying, Glaive is charged with saving a young woman from the countryside. Ada Vidhava is the secret bride of a Paladin, waiting until she and her husband can be together rather than hiding a marriage that violates the vow he took when becoming a knight; Glaive is not the man she expected to take her away from her parent’s home. Together, they have to maneuver through palace intrigues and politics, trying to honor the vows they each made to the man they knew and loved, while also being honest to their hearts.

Unbroken Vow is a unique world in which to be dropped as the basis of a romance novel. Its blending of a classic kingdom-style fantasy world with modern and futuristic technologies can be a bit difficult to follow at times, but it is also refreshing in that it fails to become predictable. The characters grow and change as their world shifts around them; outside forces create unforeseen obstacles in the plans to keep Ada safely hidden until she can be returned to her home, pushing them to adapt and overcome. As a fan of both fantasy and romance, I enjoyed seeing Lewandowski take a different approach in blending of the two genres.

First off this is an amazing set of authors, some new, some ive read and enjoyed before. All are great reads and there’s a little of something for everyone in this set.

This will focus on Paper Love by Aubrey Wynne.

I absolutely loved this story. Even though its a fast read. I felt I got to know what I needed to know about the characters to feel connected. Joss isn’t looking for anyone, she is trying to make some life decisions and thanks to a friend and her sister, she’s taken to a social party and meets her best friends brother for the first time.
Ben wasn’t what I thought he would be like once you got to know him a bit.

Great read. Will be reading the rest of these over the next few weeks!

Heartbeats and Roses: A Small Town Valentine’s Day Romance by Jae Dawson
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Heartbeats and Roses: A Small Town Valentine’s Day Romance (A Hartwood Holiday Romance) by Jae Dawson is a contemporary romance. I went in with hope but once again I was unable to fully connect with the characters and with the romance, I didn’t feel the passion I felt more friendship than that burn of passion. The old-fashioned wording used for the romance was off putting. I like the premise is full of promise, but the story just didn’t flow for me.

I liked the idea of the secret Valentines and what Rose wanted to do for the town. I also liked that she is confident and is happy where she is at in her.

I am still open to see what the next book will be like. I am not giving up yet!

Mythical Alliance: Phoenix Team: The Complete Season by Claire Luana is a boxed set of 6 urban fantasy paranormal goodies. Claire has found a winner with this original fantasy series that is fast paced. The world building is carefully crafted as are the characters who are well developed and interesting. It is full of every kind of mythical creature and action and suspense. I enjoy Claire’s writing and she is becoming one of my go to authors. It is a boxed set of short stories, but it does not take away anything from the stories and the plots are solid, in fact it leaves you wanting more.

The series starts with our heroine who has just discovered that everything she thought she knew has been turned on its head with the death of her father and a strange new world. And so, the journey begins.

Dance of Hearts: a Cinderella Regency Romance Retelling (Historical Fantasy Fairytale Retellings Book 1) by Byrd Nash is a fantasy romance story. This intriguing tale is set in Regency England, 1816 and is an entertaining short story that is an easy read. It is not a classical tale as such, but it does have the same feel and reminds me of regency romances done by the famous Jane Austin. It is a charming and sweet romance with a little drama and deception as you would expect. Byrd’s Cinderella retelling is heart-warming with a little magic and Fae and has witty humour.

Athalie (Sacrificial Chronicles Book 1) by Jordan Elizabeth is a YA fantasy story. This story is unique and engaging and the jam-packed plot is well done.

There are many twists and turns as we adventure along with Athalie that certainly keeps us on our toes.

Dance of Hearts: a Cinderella Regency Romance Retelling by Byrd Nash
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Dance of Hearts was a sweet and fast paced read with all the nods to one of my favorite old school fairy tales, Cinderella, and was written in a way that brought the magic of Jane Ausent novels that so captured my mind growing up. I was hesitant because historical dramas do not tend to be something I personally choose to pick up anymore. I do love the classics so they are often held to standards that are high in my personal opinion and I more often than not find things are a bit lacking for me in modern day historical reads. This one kept things light and fun and yet made you feel as if you traveled back to a much simpler and magical time.

Melinda Wynchwood is our main character and she is quite the character at that. While her latest predicament is not the best she keeps her spirits in a way we could all take a lesson from. I enjoyed the way she was written and the way this story had unique parts to it that are not quite what you would expect. I am eager to see what else Byrd Nash has in this particular genre.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Don’t Worry, I Still Hate You by Marie Skye is the only book I got to read out of the Happily Ever After anthology, by various authors. It was a really good read! And it was hilarious too. I was rolling from laughing so much. The main character Perrie felt so relatable, it was like hearing a tale from your best friend. The only downside to this novel I had however, was that it felt like a continuation of another story. It was hard for me to get completely lost in this, because I felt like I was missing something. It started up like it was a sequel. Again, I’m not sure if it was or not, but of it wasn’t the author could have been more clear on past events to make what is happening easier for the reader to understand. Overall though I really enjoyed this novel! And I can’t wait to read more from the author in the future.

Don’t Worry, I Still Hate You by Marie Skye. I loved this book. I love Marie Skye so I was super excited to read it and it did not disappoint other than the fact it was a little short. We meet Perrie & Ash who have met in University and even dated some and had a one night stand in Las Vegas. Now Ash needs a roommate and she has advertised for one. She’s not picky just a few things like no smoking or being all up in her business she just needs the money. When she gets one super fast she is shocked and happy until she realizes its none other than Perrie. While she still enjoys looking at Perrie she’s not so sure her heart can take this arrangement. When it comes to the wire though Perrie is there for her and that may be the best part of all.

The Longest Run by Tracey Cramer-Kelly an emotional five-star read.

Both main characters have a past and have been broken but have put the pieces back together, but they haven’t ever been who again, hopefully now they meet they can start to become whole again, but it’s not an easy slope to climb, and sometimes you have to fall to make it to the top.

Stormy’s Thunder by Manda Mellett a thrilling five-star read. This is number two in the Satan’s Devils MC Utah series and it could be read as stand-alone, but honestly its better if you read the Utah series in order as you would miss the build up to Stormy’s story. I feel like I have done an about turn on this main character, as I really wasn’t keen on him previously, but as we have gotten to know the man behind the cut, we understand the real him, I am so taken by him in ways I never imagined. This story has so much going on it could get confused but Manda Mellett has done a great job of keeping the story unfolding and on track.

This is a well-written YA fantasy, with plenty of magic, adventure and suspense. The plot has lots of twists and turns and the world-building is so deftly woven. The main characters, Roana and Iniko, have an incredible journey of self-discovery and coming of age that doesn’t feel cliche or forced, and the characters are strong while also given space to grow and develop over the course of the novel. Even if you’re not a fan of fantasy, somehow this seems to transcend the genre.
