My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This was a great read. This is a new author to me and I am so glad I took a chance on it. This story is full of action, suspense, romance, great characters and so much more. There were some twists and turns. I was kept glued to the pages throughout the entire book. The chemistry between Kai and Waters was off the charts and you can feel it jumping off the pages. Kai is a movie director and Waters is a navy seal. Neither one of these characters do relationships because of their jobs but the attraction is undeniable. There are also other really great characters in this story and one in particular that I wanted to punch in the face. I don’t want to give anything away so I will just say this is a must read! I can’t wait to read the next book in this series.

This is such a great entrance to fantasy for YA readers. The world building is excellent. The author gives great details for the story. At first I wasn’t thrilled when I saw the multi POV, but it’s done very well in this book. This is a great first read of the series and I know the 2nd book will be just as good.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

T. K. Lawyer is a first time author for me so I was excited to read something new. I loved the fact there were 6 very different short shifter stories; it wasn’t just normal shifter stories. There is a big cat, a gargoyle, a Hellhound, a dragon/vampire hybrid, a wolf, and a great white shifter. All very different, and several I’ve never even thought of or seen in other stories. The characters were a little underdeveloped, but that could just be because they were all sort sorry stories. The world building was pretty good, even with the shortened length. The reader is transported into forests, cities, the ocean, and even the underworld itself all through the storytelling of T. K. Lawyer. Some of the stories I would love to see as full length books and a couple are definitely better left as short stories. Overall, a quick, interesting read by an author I wouldn’t mind checking out more from.

Portrait of Deception (A Southwest Suspense Novel)Portrait of Deception by Kathryn Dodson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Portrait of Deception ended up being far better than I expected. I didn’t really know what it was about when I started reading it, I was just drawn in from the cover art. The book kept me engaged until the very end, and was filled with suspense. Margo’s entire life crumbles in one night. Then the little that remains is torn away from a bad decision. However, going through all the drama that results, she changes her view of life and what is important to her. I was happy with the ending of the book, and look forward to reading more by the author. It looks like this may become a series, so I’m excited to see what is to come next.

This is my first audio book by this author which I enjoyed listening to.  I look forward to picking up another by this author.   It is a story that is full of mystery, action and even a little romance.   I enjoyed how the narrator  brought the story to life with the different tones for characters.  They made it easy to listen to and I wanted to keep listening.  This is Nash and Betsy’s story.  Neither one was expecting the other but what destiny has in store for them you don’t want to miss.  I enjoyed this audio and I think you will too.  I highly recommend this audiobook.

Deja Brew All Over Again: A Runaway Bride Romance (Love on Tap Series) by Sylvie Stewart. I have loved this series and I was so excited to finally get to read Miller’s story. Miller has always had a laid back attitude but has always been kind of the black sheep. I really enjoyed how we can see Miller’s maturity in this book. Maisy is trying to save her little brother but she’s beginning to have second thoughts about marrying someone just to do that. When she bails the wedding and jumps into someone’s truck, she wasn’t expecting someone as cute as Miller. Miller is stunned when Maisy jumps in his truck but is not complaining. Miller is a bad boy and Maisy does not need that if she is going to protect her brother. The chemistry is so hot between these two and Maisy’s brother Bear is hilarious! Will Maisy be able to convince Miller he’s worthy of love and a family or will he screw this chance at happiness up? Read this awesome romance to find out!

Group Hug by Ariella Talix was a well written MMF romance that kept my attention from start to finish. Despite being a spicy read, it was cute with likable characters. I found myself smirking throughout. I enjoyed that the story was written in the perspective of all three main characters, Weston, Callum and Petra with a good grasp on their thoughts and feelings as the storyline progressed. Overall, I had fun reading this book and would be open to reading more from this author in the future.

Sasha Smart: Short Stories for GirlsSasha Smart: Short Stories for Girls by Shermaine Perry-Knights
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Sasha Smart by Shermaine Perry-Knights. This is an amazing collection of short stories for girls aged 8-12 that are inspiring, uplifting and so full of self love. I so wish I had this book when I was young. The biggest focus of this book is self acceptance and self love, which is so important for young kids especially young girls today. Each story is a different problem young girls might go thru and they really focus on communication with their parents. The stories are about bravery, peer pressure, loving yourself and being positive. We all have bad things in our lives but how we react to them are 1/2 the battle. I think these stories would be great for teachers and parents alike. Every girl in this age group should get this book. I’m buying all the girls in my family one! This set of stories would make the prefect gift!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Having recently finished “Portrait of Deception,” the second installment in the Southwest Suspense series, I found the tale of Margo McAllister engaging. In Italy to pursue her photographic aspirations, Margo faces unexpected challenges after rejecting a dubious offer from a corrupt politician. The narrative, though initially stretching the bounds of believability, gradually grew on me. Margo’s journey, marred by a blackout drug and unanticipated consequences, drew me in. Despite some contrived twists, the overall suspenseful atmosphere and Margo’s predicaments managed to capture my interest. While not without flaws, the book ultimately succeeded in holding my attention and curiosity.

This book is part of a series that can be read as a standalone which I intended on doing, but now that I’ve read it, I want to go back and read the first two books of the series to get to know the MMC more because of the character development that seems to take place throughout the books. While this book does have romantic undertones between the two main characters, that is not what carries the book which I enjoyed and the other characters do not get lost along the way where you feel like you don’t know them very well by the end of it. It was a fun and at times sad but lighthearted read that I would recommend if you love a bad boy with a soft heart for those he cares about.

The Rocklyns Collection: Contemporary Romance Boxed Set (Books 1-7)The Rocklyns Collection: Contemporary Romance Boxed Set by Alicia Street
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

An enjoyable and engaging collection of contemporary romance novels all in one boxed set, making it easy to ‘binge read’ the whole series. Each novel is a standalone story focusing on different members of the Rocklyn family, however the characters do overlap. The Rocklyn winery, set up by Matt Rocklyn Sr. is part of the burgeoning “Napa of the East Coast”, set on Long Island’s North Fork. The author does a wonderful job of bringing this setting to life through the descriptive narrative. The vineyard is the home of a new generation of Rocklyn’s, a big family of brothers and sisters as well as cousins.

Each member faces challenges and goes on a journey to find love. I was hooked from book one and fell in love with the Rocklyn family, all the characters are likeable and relatable. I was captivated by each one of the heartwarming storylines, which included, forbidden love, secret identities, secret babies, second chances at love, and opposites attract relationships. The chemistry between each main couple sizzled off the page and led to some rather steamy scenes. I loved how each relationship was different and developed throughout the story. Having read and enjoyed all seven stories I can guarantee that once you start reading you won’t be able to stop!

National Hug Day seems to be the perfect time for a book called Group Hug although this is more than just a hug it is a spicy MMF tale. You will need a long cool drink just to get through it.
There are three main characters in this steamy ménage à trois. Looking for a roommate or two? Look no further. They say threes a crowd but not in this book. Three is just the right number.
The story is sweet and spicy and has a few twists I never saw coming. There is a bit of angst, a few struggles, a tad of sadness, a lot of fun, some easy banter and let’s not forget the super sexy times that will draw you in.
I love that the story is told in multiple POV it just made me love these characters more. Petra, Weston, and Callum are well-written and likable. The chemistry between this throuple works well Ariella did a great job with them. I just wanted to hug and squeeze them. But don’t forget the dogs they are just as adorable.
There is so much more I could say but I don’t want to give away spoilers. Nope this is one treasure where you need to explore all on your lonesome.
Download the book, you never know what you are missing out on if you don’t.

Shifter ShortsShifter Shorts by T.K. Lawyer
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Shifter Shorts is a collection of six short paranormal romance stories, each featuring a human woman and a male shifter. Most of the stories are independent of each other, but A Mate for Draco picks up at the end of Release the Hellhounds and resolves what would otherwise not quite be the HEA we’re promised.

My favourite is Gargoyle Mine. The idea of a gargoyle shifter watching the world from the side of a building is cool, and something I hadn’t come across before. This story is also less dark than some of the others which I appreciated. It hints at broader aspects of the characters’ lives, leaving spaces for the reader’s imaginations to elaborate on the short story.

I also enjoyed Haven. Again, this isn’t as dark as the others and the nautical setting makes a nice change!

This collection gets three stars from me. I think it has quite a specific target audience as the stories have a lot of similarities including the women often ending up in dangerous, sometimes quite violent, situations they need rescuing from and the men having the end goal of mating for life. If this appeals to you, here are six stories you’ll love!

Deja Brew All Over Again: A Runaway Bride Romance is the third book in the Love on Tap series by Sylvie Stewart. The story starts with black sheep of the family Miller, who is a magnet for trouble, rescuing runaway bride Maisy as she does a runner from her own nuptials. The couple both have a lot of baggage but have an undeniable pull towards each other. I really enjoyed this book, it kept a good pace and had lots of different co-occurring storylines. I love Maisy’s little brother Bear, his one liners are hilarious and I just spent the whole book wanting him to be safe. I am looking forward to the final book in the series to see how the boys cope with baby sister Lynn finding love. Would recommend to lovers of a good rom-com.

Group Hug is a spicy MMF Romance that hooked me from page 1. Told in multi POV, with plenty of spice, drama, discovery, little bit of angst and circumstances. I loved this story that brought together Weston, Callum and Petra.

When Weston places an ad in a local column for a roommate to help alleviate finances with the house that he owns. Weston never imagine the quick responses of others whom are looking take up Weston’s offer….that not only brings one potential roommate, but two. Callum, whom is a chef , also looking to advance his career more in culinary arts and Petra, whom is a writer. Never imagining after all three meeting together the sparks fly pretty instantaneous.

With different opportunities and drama come into play….will Weston, Callum and Petra be able to overcome any obstacle that comes their way as they also navigate a throuple relationship?

This is a great read and I really loved this story. Definitely read and find out what happens!!

My rating: 3 of 5 stars

This is a MMF, intertwined, connected romance. Overall, I liked it. I really enjoyed the multiple POVs from each main character so we could see what they were thinking/experiencing throughout the book. And the spice…mmmmm…it’s definitely there and it’s explicit. The forced proximity aspect was well done and the character development was OK. Like I said, overall, I liked the book but I don’t think it’s one I would be telling people to read (but I wouldn’t be like don’t read that…if that makes sense). I think the biggest thing I’m stuck on is the fact that I really felt like a lot of the plot was rushed throughout the book and all of a sudden things were happening or like for a few chapters it was a progression of hours or days and then all of a sudden weeks or months went by. So it was really hard to figure out time sometimes in the book and that threw me off quite a bit. And while I liked the spice of the book, I think there was a bit of “shock value” to some of it because I didn’t feel like it needed to be that explicit…it didn’t necessarily fit the vibe of the book as a whole. Should you read this book? Well, if you are looking for something that is quick with some very spicy MMF scenes and you don’t mind a rushed plot, then yes go ahead. If you are looking for something more developed with a slow burn or not so in your face spice, then no, I wouldn’t recommend picking this up.

What an intoxicating read from the very beginning. Readers will find plenty of emotional moments, intriguing drama and lots of sexy steamy moments.

Each of the main characters, Petra, Weston & Callum bring a bit of baggage to the table but I think that brings a healthy dose of real life relatability. Insecurities are immediately apparent and I liked how each of then eventually realize speaking about it together is healthy for a relationship, no matter how many are involved.

I enjoyed the chemistry between the characters, the adorable interactions with the side characters (the sweet dogs) and drama that ensues.

I think fellow readers that enjoy MMF romance plots will like this little spicy nugget that has plenty of heat and heart.

Master Botosoni (Masters of the Consulate #9)Master Botosoni by Sylvia Black
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

 

5 Stars

 

Master Botosoni is the ninth book in the Masters of the Consulate series by Sylvia Black. It is a captivating dark paranormal romance with an underworld society/vampire mafia, enemies to lovers, rogue vampire faction, shifters, witches, psychics, pure bloods, politics, magic, agendas, fated mates, age gap, danger, drama, high stakes, chemistry, sizzle, emotion, action, loyalty, bonds, mysteriousness, intrigue, tension, emotion, and a centuries-old feud/war. The story is told from a duel POV- which gave me a much richer perspective and added extra depth and interest to my reading experience.
This is Master Botosoni and Catina’s story- which grabbed me right from the beginning and held my attention the entire way through. There was no putting the book down, with all the ingredients of a dark, tense romantic suspense- I really had to know what would happen, so I ended up staying up well past my bedtime and read it all in one sitting. #sleepisoverratedright
This could be read as a standalone as each book in the series focuses on its own separate character/s, but I highly recommend reading the other books in the series before beginning this one, as there are many interconnected details and recurring characters that span the series- including a bridging background story that’s being built/expanded with each new addition- so I really recommend reading from the beginning, so you know what’s happened right from the start.
The best part about this series is that there are 12 books planned…. 9 down, 3 still to come —– which means more sexy vampires on the way!
Bring on Book #10 — “Master Oradea” — I can’t wait!!!
Happy Reading…

Thank you, Sylvia Black!

With this hat Carrie imagines all kinds of adventures and feels even closer to her Grandma. All of these books are so fun and so full of adventure.
