Exiled South by Harriet Cannon – Review by La Toya Lewis

Exiled SouthExiled South by Harriet Cannon
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Exiled South by Harriet Cannon is a story about Lizbeth Gordon, a high school counselor that loses her husband in an accident and decides to take a trip to find out what happened to her long-lost family members as a way of distracting herself. The story has a great setting in South Carolina where Lizbeth is originally from. I loved all the mentions of southern cuisine and locations. The book really excels during the second part that takes place in the past. I could read an entire book just about the civil war era Gordan family; especially Laurette. Like Lizabeth, I really bonded with her. I liked the strong bond between Lizabeth and Charlotte. It would have been good to see some character development with Lizabeth. I was left feeling like she didn’t really learn anything and there was plenty for her to learn. I also loved all the historical information. All in all an engaging story.

Whisper Creek (A Logan McKenna Mystery Book 7)Whisper Creek by Valerie Davisson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book was amazing!
Yes it is far into a series but I didn’t feel that it effected my understanding of the plot and characters.
I have really become addicted to female leads and this author is spot on in drawing you into the suspense.
I had no idea how this was going to go.
I love talent shows but now I am iffy.
Finding a dead body is where the author got me.
This is mystery and suspense hyped up too 1000%
When I tell you this had me so entertained I feel like a detective now.
I became part of this world in Oregon I cried and laughed and lost a few breathes.
I can’t wait to read more from this author.

ConQuest: The Art of Selling at Cons by Megan Mackie – Review by Kayla Kearney

ConQuest: The Art of Selling At ConsConQuest: The Art of Selling At Cons by Megan Mackie
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

As a writer myself, when I saw this book I knew I had to read it, and I wasn’t disappointed one bit! The book wasn’t what I was expecting at all. I went into thinking it was geared for writers that wanted to sell at ComicCon. I was pleased to see that she wrote it so that writers could go to all kinds of Cons and be successful, as that is what initially appealed to me when choosing the book to read. There were definitely many points in the novel that might be common sense to established authors that were of great help to me, so I was very thankful that she wrote it to benefit all sorts of authors, whether they are just starting out in the publishing world or have been on the top of the New York Times Bestseller List.

Seed on Fire (Moore Family Saga Book 1) by Michele Sims-Review by Elena Tobar

Act I: Seed On Fire (Moore Family Saga, #1)Act I: Seed On Fire by Michele Sims
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is a sweet love story with a twist. This book is full of action and suspense and pulled me right into the world of Cade and Lecia. This book really shows how much the dynamic between a married couple can change once a child is soon to enter the picture. The love between Cade and Lecia is so tender and sweet and it’s obvious how much Cade loves her even though they go through a rough patch or two. This book took a terrifying turn that had me on the edge of my seat eager to see what would happen next. I really enjoyed the scenes with the extended family in it and seeing the traditions and closeness that each of the families has. The ending was great and definitely left me eager to know more. I can’t wait to see what happens in the next book this series.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Finding the Dream is another great book by Joanne Patterson. In this second book of the Rebecca Steele series we once again get to fall in love with Becky. It has romance, drama, humor and to top it off we get to enjoy some horses too. Chance is sweet, strong and sexy and I loved reading
as Becky and him grow closer. This book is fast paced and good for readers who want something on the shorter side and easy to read. The characters are all easy to fall in love with and they will have you hooked on this series by the end of the book, leaving you anxious to grab the next in the series.

Swipe Right to Bite (New Orleans Nocturnes, #6)Swipe Right to Bite by Carrie Pulkinen
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

A succubus and and incubus who both want their freedom from Satan accidentally fall in love. Katrina runs a successful dating app helping her fellow supernatural beings have no strings attached relationships. Gabe is making his rounds as a motivational speaker of sorts by teaching people to connect on an emotional level rather than just physical. They both have their reasons for wanting their freedom, but is the cost of the deals made worth it? Can they coexist in the same city? I have read other books in this series and have enjoyed every single one of them. Once again the author does not disappoint and keeps the quick wit and quirky sayings coming. This book, like the others, can be read in one sitting as you will find yourself not wanting to put this down.

Ride with the Moonlight (Thunder On The Moor, #2)Ride with the Moonlight by Andrea Matthews
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Ride with the Moonlight picks up right where the first book left off. This book pulled me in and held me tight till the end. I couldn’t put it down! Maggie and Will’s story is one that pulls on your heartstrings, hard. I love the use of the dialect to really bring you into 16th century Scotland. I can’t wait to read the third book.

Slick Running (Satan’s Devils MC #3) AUDIO BOOK by Manda Mellett – Review by Kerry Baker

A book by this author never fails to completely grab my attention from start to finish, and it seems the audio books are just the same. Although I have read most of these books this is only the second audio book I have listened to. It took no time at all for me to be completely immersed in the story. I found myself making excuses to plug my headphones in so I could jump straight back in. The story translates so well into the audio version, losing none of the excitement you get from the actual book. It was so easy to imagine the characters and the events of the book. This is a fantastic book that I would highly recommend to everyone.

King of Pain (Interstellar Rescue Series Book 5)King of Pain by Donna S. Frelick
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This was a really interesting read. The world building is unique and interesting and so was the storyline and plot. However, I don’t think this is meant to be a standalone, and I haven’t read any of the previous books in this series. The storyline felt like a standalone but I think all thr world building has been done in previous installments and I just feel like if I would have read them first I would have enjoyed this book more. This is a Sci-Fi novel, and one that is unique in my opinion just because I haven’t read another book like it before. Overall I did enjoy this book I just think I would have understood it better and enjoyed it more if I had read the first novels in the series before hand.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is the fifth book in the series but I was able to pick it up and read it as a standalone. I’m sure I would have gotten even more impact if I’d read the previous books, as I understand some characters from those appear in this book. However, I didn’t feel like I was missing anything.
Superb tension throughout the story. This book had more suspense in it than an entire eight book series I just read that was specifically supposed to be suspense. You don’t want to stop turning the pages, that’s for sure.
I enjoyed that there was depth to the story outside of the romance as they are dealing with some serious subject matter.
Good action. Great flow to the story. Excellent read.

King of Pain (Interstellar Rescue Series Book 5) by Donna S. Frelick

King of Pain is the fifth book in the Interstellar Rescue Series . This is a wonderfully written Sci-Fi/ Romance that will pull you in from the beginning and kept me turning the pages till the end. I pretty much tuned everything around me out and focused solely on this book and all the things that were happening. I’m a huge fan of this author and she’s one of the reasons I got turned on to this genre. I used to not like to read Scifi but I liked watching certain Sci-Fi shows on television. I would recommend reading this series in order as it will help with what’s been going on but can be read as standalone. Grab yourself a drink and get ready for quite the ride with fast paced action packed Enemies to lovers and more. I highly recommend reading this book to find out what happens next. I can’t wait to read more from this Author.

Once again C.R. Robertson delivered an amazing book! I stayed up again way too late to finish. I got some of my questions answered but I still need more! I really hope we have a spin-off for some of the other characters. She’s done an amazing job at world building and I am excited to see where she takes us. Levi and Tasha are the main story line but my boys Dominic and Spencer stole the show! This series is a must read. You will not be disappointed.

This is a delightful story. We have previously met Katrina and I really didn’t care for her. But that attitude she has…worked its benefits and she is actively trying to reign in her magic and get herself released from Satan. I really enjoyed her thought process. She is matter of fact and doesn’t understand emotions at all. Her learning and growing made me change my mind and I ended up liking her character.

We do get to see a bit of previous characters..which us always fun. They really band together in here for Katrina even though they are not fans of hers which shows how great they are.

This is the sixth book in the series but can easily be read as a stand alone. I really enjoy this series/book. They have humor, personal growth, fun times and super characters.

Theodore's RingTheodore’s Ring by Stacy-Deanne

Initially starting the book I was not sure what to expect. I am a fan of this author, and as always I was not disappointed at all. There were a few twists and turns I did not see, but the suspense and action of the novel are what tied it all together. Lydia was a strong and fierce heroine. The question of what would you do or how far would you go to save someone you love who was in danger was answered the moment she began this journey to save Cam.
When Lydia learns Cam was taken and to get him back she needed to deliver the artifact Theodore’s Ring she is all in with no hesitation. Upon this immediate declaration she also discovers that she will not be going alone, and her ex Sullivan will be with her. The pressures to find the artifact, deal with her ex, and bring home her boyfriend make for an interesting journey, and a tale you will not believe.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

3.5 stars

A historical romance but not your typical historical romance as it is steeped in paranormal. I have said it before, but this series reminds me of Outlander in so many ways. This time travel tale is full of passion and interesting facts. As with the first two books there is plenty of action and danger, murder, and mayhem, angst, and suspense. Make sure to read the books in order so as not to miss out the background and history of our characters and how they have gotten where they are.
Just when we thought things were settling down for our couple Maggie and Will find themselves once again in trouble. Maggie is once again on the run to another century with the help of Dylan, but Will is left behind. Will they find a way back to each other or are they doomed to be a part forever?

Unlikely to Stay (A Parker Lake Novel Book 3)Unlikely to Stay by Ashlie Knapp
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Unlikely to stay was such a cute, fun read. CC has always been responsible, even as a child. She was always the one taking care of her hippy, free spirited mother not the other way around. Now that she’s an adult she is still a responsible, cautious person. CC is not willing to take risks, especially on the handsome Brant. Brant is the only medical provider is the small town and is only supposed to be there for three years to fulfill a duty. Brant has six months left to go when he meets CC. I love both of these characters and I feel like you get to know them more as the book progresses. My favorite part are the secondary characters. Oh my gosh they are so HILARIOUS! I won’t spoil it for you but if you are looking for a cute love story with just enough spice and a LOT of laughs you have come to the right place. This book is it. I really enjoyed reading and I think you will too!

This is the first book I have read from this author and she now has a new fan. I love sports romance but she exceeded all my expectations. I was hooked on the very first page and I could not put it down until the end. These characters drew me into the story and had my full attention. I love that you get to read both characters’ points of view so you get a better understanding of why they act the way they do. It only took me a little over a day to devour this amazing story.

Kirsa and Brock have been best friends since they were four years old. They grew to be inseparable until they met Victoria. Then they became a group of three. When a misunderstanding comes out Kirsa is left alone. She is now in high school and all she wants to do is graduate and start over again. Her best friends are now her enemies. Kirsa keeps to herself and gets good grades so she can go to the college she wants and get out of this town. She is shocked when a new guy comes along and starts to talk to her.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The title is a completely accurate description of this book. Trigger warning for all you who share the high school emotional trauma caused by rumors as this novel will bring back some of those unpleasant memories. With that said I absolutely loved this tale. Enemies to Lovers is not really my thing but this author made this story an absolute stand out in this genre. Imagine your worst day in high school and multiply it by ten and that is what almost all of Kirsa’s career has been. Brought on by rumors that she started rumors Kirsa is betrayed by her best friends and tormented over the next three years. Brock is the typical good looking jock, but one who has a heart. He thinks Kirsa has betrayed him and spends his time getting revenge. Still with all the rumors, negative feelings and vengeful actions sparks fly between them. Overall a great HEA with a very good story line.
