My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Bella is a young woman who is finally free to live, love and make mistakes along the way to meeting Mr Right and in these short novellas, you can follow along with her.

Mr Wimp is her soon to be ex-husband, after twelve years of marriage, one day he ups and leaves with no explanation, apart from that the spark has gone, but Bella is not convinced it is just that. So, she decides to get her life back, although she didn’t realise quite how much of herself, she had lost and how different the dating game now is.

Mr Smooth is the next on the list when bar man Liam enters the picture and she can see how the men in the romance novels she likes to read can exist. Liam could be just the man to live some of them out with, he is a smooth talker with a lot of experience.

Mr Player is the next in the firing line, after getting some advice and tutelage with Liam, she decides to enter the world of internet dating and this handsome one is next. The only thing about him is that everyone else seems to think he is a player, including Liam, but surely, she can make up her own mind, so she gives him a try.

Mr Kinky appears on a girl’s weekend away in the country, the perfect getaway after her confrontation with Mr Player, she has sworn off of men, as have her girlfriends but that isn’t as easy as it looks when a god level gorgeous man just happens to match with her online and also owns the local pub promising treats galore.

Mr Heartless is a little understated and slow moving compared to the other men she has met, but he seems safe enough after all the excitement, they enjoy the same things and spending time with him is easy, but is he too good to be true?

What will Bella do with her newfound freedom and with whom in this fun filled novella collection?

My rating: <a href=”https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/6185112685″>5 of 5 stars</a><br /><br />
I really enjoyed this read, from the title and blurb I felt it would be a quick read but I found it to be a longer read, but by no means is this negative. I found this book well written with character development and world building continuing throughout. The humour and warmth keeps you smiling whilst the added angst of dysfunctional family and families who are true units brings an emotion to the book that others may lack.<br />After reading it I discovered that it is the third book in a series and although reading them in order may provide background on some characters this book and I’m sure the others (if they are written in a similar way to this) would be just as easy to read as a stand alone.<br />The unexpected appearance of a bride in a froo froo dress in the car as he leaves court introduces Miller to Maisy, both of them have an intriguing past, they dance around each other, and the forced proximity of allowing Maisy to move in with his family gives this story another added layer.<br />

The Human Mating Site Box Set 1 : A Steamy, Dating Humour Novella's 1-4The Human Mating Site Box Set 1 : A Steamy, Dating Humour Novella’s 1-4 by B.L. Wilde
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is books 1- 4 in The Human Mating Site. All these books are linked so you do need to read them in order to fully appreciate the journey that Bella goes on as she struggles to find herself and navigate the new world of dating.

Book 1- Mr Wimp
In this part of the story we meet Bella and Joel who have been together and married for years. Even though there is no passion or spark they have carried on after all after so many years together not having a spark is normal right?
They carry on like this until the day Joel throws a bomb into the relationship and tells Bella he wants to end their marriage.
Bella is heartbroken and as things begin to come to light that pain and heartbreak turns to anger.
When she is free she realises how much of herself she lost by being with Joel, over the years he has brought her down and made her lose sight of who she is.
Is this story is called Mr Wimp and omg Joel is definately that. At points I was screaming at him to grow and pair and tell the truth but his refusal to do that only showed Bella even more how much of a favour he was doing her by ending things.
I loved Bella’s character and her growth in this first story was unreal and inspiring as with the help of her friends she slowly starts to find herself again.
I can’t wait to read about the next stages in Bella’s life.

Book 2- Mr Smooth
This the second book and we are back with Bella as she tries to put her life back together. Each book focuses on a different guy and this one focuses on Liam.
Liam and Bellas connection is hot and steamy. Liam has a reputation as a man whore and has made his intentions with Bella clear. He doesn’t date or do relationships this is purely friends with benefits. The way he is with Bella and the way he rebuilds her confidence in her herself is amazing to watch. But then he goes cold on her. Is that it? Is that the end of Bella and Liam? I’m not so sure I feel there is more between them under the surface.

Book 3- Mr Player
This was the 3rd man that Bella encountered and even though he seemed good on paper and said all the right things her friends and Liam tried to warn her off him. Liam told her he was a player but why would that matter she was only after some fun. But what happens when this so called player turns out to be even worse in the sack than her ex husband?

Book 4- Mr Kinky
This is the next man who appears in Bella’s life and opens her world to a whole new experience and teaches her more about her needs and body that she ever knew possible.

These book are quick read and I have loved them all. So far I am loving Liam the best and I’m praying for a HEA for him and Bella. I just need to read the rest of the stories to see if I get my wish. I can’t wait.

The Marcy Series Box Set: Books 1-3The Marcy Series Box Set: Books 1-3 by Linda Burson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Marcy is a successful business owner who seems to have it all – until she starts having nightmares and develops uncharacteristic anger issues. With her sudden turn in behavior, her closest friends and boyfriend become concerned, though Marcy brushes off her own reactions to others and certain situations. It’s not until she is confronted with her own actions and the threatened loss of her boyfriend, Brad, that Marcy realizes she has a problem and needs help. However, Marcy is soon confronted by another victim of rage, Liam, and the course of her recovery and life seems to become shaky. This was an interesting series to read, I enjoyed the love triangle and psychological tidbits thrown in that kept me engaged and reading from page one to the last.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is a box set of four enjoyable novellas following Bella’s dating journey. Avid steamy romance reader Bella is looking for Mr Right, or at least Mr Right Now. Having split from her husband (Mr Wimp) of twelve years, Bella finds herself back on the dating scene. Bella realises how much of herself she lost whilst in her relationship with Mr Wimp, and the once sunny, happy Bella wants her confidence back. The ‘Human Mating Site’ lets her experience online dating, meet some men, have fun, (and sexy fun) and regain her confidence. Bella is also keen to act out some of the spicy scenes she has read about! This is a fun, funny, engaging set of novellas with an extremely likeable and relatable main character in Bella. Each novella is like a different Rom-Com, and we meet a variety of different men, grumpy ones, sexy ones, alpha men, and witty men. Full of romance, humour and emotion I ‘binge read’ this boxset and look forward to the rest of the series, and finding out if Bella eventually finds her Mr Right!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This intriguing and engaging dark romantic suspense story had me captivated throughout. I loved the fact that as all three books are in this set I could ‘binge read’ the whole series! In Rage, we are introduced to Marcy, Brad, and Liam. Marcy has anger issues, and we follow her journey in finding out why. In Confusion, Marcy is learning how to navigate her conflicted emotions. We also get to learn more about her and her relationships with both Brad and Liam. Agony and Ecstasy sees decisions being made whilst emotions run deep. The twists and turns continue in this third story, and there are lots more surprises for both Marcy, and us, the reader! It took me a few chapters to really get into the storyline and get to know the characters, but having done so I was then fully immersed in the story. Overall this was a real page turner of a read, and I recommend ‘binge reading’ the series, like I did!

I was hooked from start to finish with this fast paced and action-packed story. Margo, a photographer on the brink of fame is in Italy competing for a prestigious award. She is approached by a corrupt politician who wants her to devise a clever portrait to improve his reputation, but despite the large sum of money offered she refuses.

Left with no choice Margo is forced to go to the despot’s personal estate and ask for his help. Her plan is to earn enough money to cover her debts and then get back to her life. However, whilst at his remote castle in the mountains she discovers many of his secrets and lies, but increasingly fears the oligarch’s creepy propositions and demands will put her in further danger. I was gripped by this gritty thriller, and I literally could not put the book down. The plot twists and turns kept me guessing as to the outcome of the story. The descriptive narrative brought the setting vividly to life, making me feel immersed in the storyline. I loved Margo as the main character, likeable and relatable as well as being a tough, independent women.

This is book nine of this series. It can be read as a stand alone but I highly suggest reading all of the previous books in this series. It will help you with your enjoyment of this series as well as this author’s writing skills. I have enjoyed reading this series from the beginning. Each one keeps getting better and better. This book is no different. It is a well written story about what happens when a vision leads to villains and not only villains but destiny steps in to put two people together. Are they mates and what does destiny have in store for these two. This is a dark romance story with vampires and steamy characters. I enjoyed how the characters pulled me into their world. They kept me turning pages fast and had me engaged to the end. They are strong, relatable characters that have great chemistry and attraction is off the charts. Their story is fast paced and hard to put down. I really enjoy reading this series and this book is one of my favorites. I highly recommend this book.

I enjoyed reading this suspenseful story. This is a newer author for me which I enjoy her attention to details to make her twists and turns pop. Her writing skills are such that her story has a realistic feel that makes the story easy to read. This is a well written story about Margo. A drug gets put in her drink that makes her blackout but she wakes up to thousands of dollars in damages. She ends up at an estate where she hopes that she can earn some money to pay for the damages but she gets more than what she bargained for. What she finds is secrets and lies and no way out. What happens to Margo is something you don’t want to miss. She is a great character that is strong and determined. She is my favorite of the story and made the story for me. I really enjoyed this fast paced, hard to put down, engaging story. I highly recommend this story.

Oooh, how I love this series! Here is book3 and it’s so intense. It’s mystery, suspense, romance, drama and a bit more of anything else dark. There are two stories within the book. They are fabulous. Each story contains the coupling of a power couple basically. The woman turns out to be a strong, resilient woman that falls for the gorgeous, slightly rich guy. I’m not telling you anymore because you have to experience this deliciously sinful and exciting book for yourself. It’s hot, spicy and a must-read. Go for it, you know you want to..

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This has been a fascinating series. This is book 9 of the series. It is definitely “read in order.” Master Botosoni is on a mission with the others to stop the rogue vampires, shifters and witches. With the help of Catina and her gift of sight and her role in everything, some major changes are made. There are some twists that I couldn’t see coming. I love following this series. It’s also fun because as the books go on, most of the team comes back to help with the war. I do think at times there are some spots that get a little dry but that’s where the author throws in a twist. Considering the big twist at the end, I’m looking forward to the next book. I can’t wait for book 10 to come out and see where the next Master leads us.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is a 7-BOOK COLLECTION (get it now!) of intertwined, yet standalone stories about the Rocklyn family. There is really something for everyone in these stories from forced proximity to grumpy-sunshine to forbidden love and everything in-between. I really enjoyed Street’s style of writing, her plot lines and they way they are driven, and her character development. I think she does a fantastic job of making her characters realistic and relatable. I also love that I didn’t have to wait for the next book to come out AND I didn’t even have to go hunt the next book down because they are all wrapped up nicely in this spicy little bundle. These books are fast-paced reads that you won’t want to put down.

Betrayal of the Gods (Relic Hunters Book 5)Betrayal of the Gods by Martin Ferguson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The Hunter brothers are back and this time they are on their own, the team that they have been with is torn apart as the brothers find out some information which they have been seeking all their lives, and more on top of that. The betrayal is something they didn’t expect and ends up with them walking out and beginning a hunt of their own.

This means that for the first time, the Hunter brothers are lacking in equipment, supplies, information or support, but they do have their smarts, skills and tricks to be able to get the help they need. The journey starts out at home where they are shown something both close to their hearts and miles away at the same time, however, it just solidifies their determination to find out the answers they long for.

As usual, nothing is simple and straightforward, however, they do find someone else who can give them their first waypoint and so the chase begins. They realise that although they know a lot about mythology, this chase is going to lead them on an epic journey of discovery where myth and reality collide and with both their friends and enemies hot on their trail, will the two brothers be able to uncover all the information they need, or will this journey be their last one?

This is a cross country race against time as the hunters become the hunted in this dangerous and life altering journey in the footsteps of history.

This was my first read of the series. This was a quick read for me and it was able to be read as a standalone. I will say reading the previous books would have given me more details, but it’s not necessary. I thought this was going to be a clean, Christmas romance, but it’s not. It has some spice which caught me off guard.

Shifter ShortsShifter Shorts by T.K. Lawyer
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

4 Stars 🌟🌟🌟🌟

Shifter Shorts is 6 “short” stories that I truly found quite enjoyable. If you love paranormal/fantasy stories with some alphas, sizzle, drama and fated mates, this is a really good read. I love the uniqueness of these stories as the shifters are gargoyles, dragon/vampire, hellhounds, cats, wolves and shark. As each story has its own blend of shifter and mate, each couple is trying to navigate feelings while trying to figure out next steps and survive dangers with an HEA, which I love.

While I enjoyed all 6 stories, my favorite story was “Gargoyle Mine”. I loved the gargoyle shifter and found it very different and quite enjoyable.

Each story left me wanting a bit more, so I am looking forward to more stories like these from this author.

The story of Kai and Water’s had me hooked from the very beginning, keeping me on the edge of my seat until the very end. There were some very intense scenes that some may find disturbing however, overall, Craig did an amazing job with this military style genre. I highly recommend this novel to all romance lovers.

This was an interesting read. I have never been the biggest fan of short stories but this book is well written. It was nice to be able to complete a story fast and know the ending,

Each story is well written and you get easily wrapped up in the stories. The fact that the characters are well-developed and grow as you read about them in such a short while makes this a good book.

This book also has a good amount of spice to it that will get you going. Read this book to read the journey of a few different shifters and how they handle each of their unique situations.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

In a world where slavery and death are on the line, Lannahi is going to have to fight for her kingdom and her freedom. She is the youngest sibling of 3, and her siblings are, well to put it mildly, jerks. They don’t really care about her outcome. She thinks she’s in love with this guy until his true colors come to light and he enchants her, to the point that if she does not comply, death will be her outcome. To get out from under his spell, she must participate in the Moon Games. These games are held monthly and there are strict rules. Not everyone plays by the rules though. Lannahi is going to need some help from an ally, but who can really be trusted?

This was an interesting and fun read. There is lots of adventure, fantasy, some romance, and power grabs. I love the time and attention the author took to developing the characters. While it did slow down the pace of the book a bit, it was much needed and appreciated!

A Heart So Savage (The Savage Duet Book 2) by April Moran – Review by Jessica Stone

I’m not going to lie I am so happy that I read the first book to this one basically back to back, I don’t know how long I could have waited to find out what was going to happen to King and Ava.

This book picks up right after the events of the first book, so if you haven’t read book one, stop what you’re doing go back and read it first and then come back, honestly you’d miss out on a ton of you tried to read this.

So I’m super into the forced proximity, reluctant relationship these two have. King is DEEP in his feelings for Ava and after everything they’ve been through it’s only fitting that Ava spend the majority of this book questioning basically her sanity for feeling the things she does for him, and loving the way he makes her feel. And let’s be honest, we all want to feel like kinky sex goddesses sometimes. King and his resolute feelings for Ava break me a bit, he’s gone through a lot, and though we knew he was “intrigued” with Ava, fascinated I guess to see him fall into love with Ava was heart melting.

I love the twists this book throws in with its characters, some from the first book and some new players! But please definitely watch out for trigger warnings going into this book, it gets down to the nitty gritty, lays it all bare but I think that’s what makes the story so intriguing. The author isn’t afraid to tell the story, and sometimes things can get ugly, but that makes the resolutions so much sweeter.

UHMM! Oliver what??? If you’ve read the first book, as you should, you’ll know what I’m talking about! I was blown away by that wildcard! Super hope we get a book about him and his redemption! I would love to read more like this from the author, dark mafia romance done right. Secretly hoping I can find my own Kingston one day. 🤞🏻

This was an interesting read. This book is the first in this series. It’s a young adult fantasy romance. It’s got a little bit of something for everyone. This author did a great job with world building, multiple pov, and character development. I’m looking forward to the rest of this series.

Lannahi is a princess that takes her fate into her own hands. She feels her only escape is to take over a kingdom due to a curse placed upon her. Will she be able to defend herself and her new kingdom from harm?

I enjoyed Lannahi as the main character. She is a strong and fair ruler but questions her actions. The citizens of her kingdom don’t automatically accept her, and she captures the old queen as her slave. There are a lot of names in this book and sometimes I was confused with the number of side characters. The world building was good, but I feel like it could have used more details to bring it to life. The story is original, and the ending was unexpected.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I absolutely loved this collection of romance stories. This author is one that I only became familiar with within the last year but her work has become one that I look forward to reading every time. I thought each one of these books was a fantastic story in its own right and I loved that they all had a different feel to them.
This is a collection I would struggle to pick my favourite from. I enjoyed each book for a completely different reason and I thought all of the characters were fantastic. This author was already one I knew I enjoyed but this series has solidified them in my mind as one to always turn to. This is a fantastic collection that I would highly recommend.

This book is a brilliant follow up to the first in the series and I was pulled in right from the start. This is a fast paced story that really captures your attention. So much seems to be going on and there are so many twists and turns that I never quite knew how the story would turn out.
I loved getting to know the characters in this book. Each seemed to have their part to play and I wanted to know more about how they would impact storyline. This author has the perfect writing style for this kind of book and It drew me in with ease. This is a great book and I am looking forward to the next in the series.
