Distant Memories (Nurse Morgan Series Book 2) by Kate MacInnis – Review by Jenni Bishop

Distant Memories: A Nurse Morgan Series: Book TwoDistant Memories: A Nurse Morgan Series: Book Two by Kate MacInnis
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Distant Memories is the second spooky book in the series and is a fun and original paranormal romance. They say laughter is the best medicine and Kate gives us that in spades with not only this book but with this series thus far. There is a little bit of something for everyone drama and humour, ghosts and spooky moments and so much more in this entertaining read. As with the first book this is a quirky short tale and a real little gem. I absolutely love the characters Kate has breathed life into.

Morgan is back and is still adjusting to her strange new psychic world and has made peace with those in her domain. With rules of course. But that peace is threatened when one wily ghostly seductress decides she wants what Morgan has. How far is she ready to go?

I can’t wait for more.

Burned by Fire (Firehouse 13 Book 4) by Danielle Jacks – Review by Jenni Bishop

Burned by Fire (Firehouse 13, #4)Burned by Fire by Danielle Jacks
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Firehouse 13 is a 12-part series with each book written by one of 12 amazing authors. Set in a small town called Armstrong and centred around the firehouse sparks fly and temperatures burn in more than one way.

Danielle’s Burned by Fire is the fourth book in the series. It is one story where things are highly emotional and full of drama, angst, pain, stubbornness, and sacrifice. There is hard earned romance and it kept the pages turning but it was over too soon.

Sol is a bitter, bitter man and can’t see where is place in the world is anymore. He has lost the one thing he loves. Now he is looking for answers in the bottom of a bottle but could one beautiful woman change things?

Ember maybe doing what she loves but now something or someone is missing. Could the one thing she wants now be a reality?

I look forward to reading more of this series.

One in A Billion (Pierce Brothers Book 3) by Belinda Williams – Review by Jenni Bishop

One In A Billion (Pierce Brothers, #3)One In A Billion by Belinda Williams
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This fun and sassy romantic comedy is the third book in the Pierce Brothers series. Each book just gets better and better. I really enjoy stories that are told in dual POV and that’s what we get with this series. Belinda gives us everything we need to keep the pages turning. There is friendship and romance, passion and sass, tension and humour. This steamy but sweet tale will have you laughing at the wit and banter. I love the characters and enjoyed going on this journey with them.

Seth maybe a billionaire but that is not who he is. He is an Aussie who has been lucky. He certainly doesn’t shy away from what he wants though. What he wants he gets and he wants the sassy woman who sauntered right through his door.

Victoria is on a timetable of her making and she won’t deviate from the plan that is until one panty dropping man smiled in her direction.

One in A Billion is a quick and easy read and one that will delight the senses as sparks fly. So, kick back with a drink and a few hours of quiet time and enjoy the story.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Steamy and sassy frenemies to lovers’ sports romance is what Body Checked is about. The hot Astoria Bay Thunder hockey team are characters that you will fall in love with, well mostly. The battle of wills, the wit and their antics and back-and-forth banter make a fun read. I found myself laughing out loud. I really enjoyed the first book and this one was no different. I read it within a day. Sizzling chemistry, stubbornness, obsession, trust issues and of course hockey games had me turning page after page in this feel-good interesting tale that had me immersed in their world.

Between Darkness & Light is the third book in the War of Destiny series. This dark vampiric paranormal, fantasy story is unique and engaging. Theresa is great at storytelling and invites the reader in with cleverly woven threads. I said it before but I will say it again the characters are well written and have depth and meaning. Her world building is exceptionally crafted and cleverly built. The vivid narrative allows you to enjoy every facet of her storytelling. War of Destiny is a multi-layered and exciting series that I will be sad to see it go as I want more and more. Lots of action, intrigue, imagination and twist and turns will keep you glued to the pages.

Vive la ResistanceVive la Resistance by Seelie Kay
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Seeing a new book from Seelie I could not wait to grab it and get reacquainted with old friends.

Donovan Trait is back in this original twisted paranormal Vampire romantic suspense tale. It is the third book in the series and a it only gets better. This is one series that you want to read the books in order to ensure you get the whole story. Not everything is doom and gloom. Seelie ensures to inject her humour throughout as only Seelie can.

Just to recap;

In book 1 – Donovan Trait is a lawyer who loves the lime light and a vampire. He loves a human and now they have a killer on their hands.

In book 2 – Donovan Trait and his bride are pregnant on the run when ancient Vampire law let them down.

Vampires, Donovan Trait and his wife are still on the run from the Vampire Coalition and the despots who don’t want half-blood babies to taint their true blood world. What they don’t count on is the other half bloods are coming out of the woodwork to claim their place in the Vampire Nation.

What ensues is a bloody, bloody war, or does it? You will have to grab this series/book and find out. You will not be disappointed.

Seelie said “Things are gonna get messy…” and they certainly do.

Isabella Bride of Ohio: American Mail Order Bride by Debra Parmley – Review by Jenni Bishop

Isabella, Bride of Ohio (American Mail-Order Brides Series)Isabella, Bride of Ohio by Debra Parmley
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

3.5 stars

Debra’s story is one of many in the American Mail Order Bride series. Isabella Bride of Ohio is not your typical mail order bride romance. It is an historical romance suspense story with a twist. There is drama and angst, mystery and intrigue, fear and danger and assault. This quick read gives us insight into the choices or should I say non choices that a lot of single women had to face back in the late 1800s. It also details historical facts for that time which was interesting. The characters are likeable, well most of them as there where a few I wanted to do physical bodily harm to but I needed something more. I did feel that the chemistry could have been fleshed out a bit more but all in all it was an interesting read.

She has gone from being taken and abused to an arranged marriage with a man who shows his true colours to be an abusive man. Will she get her HEA?

If you like historical romance give this one a go.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Caring for Kingsley is an emotional journey that anyone with pets can relate to. The hope the fear and everything in between set the scene from first fears throughout the diagnosis and hearing the dreaded C word. The overwhelming choices in front of you to make a decision. The available treatments both conventional medicine and alternative therapies and the costs and all the while wondering if you are doing the right thing. But as anyone can attest to, an animal is as precious as any human family member and you want to do everything anything to make them better.

Alli gives us a raw, heartbreaking and real narrative of facts and feelings of what her and her family has been through when their beloved Kingsley became sick.

It was all the more devastating to me as we recently lost a feline family member. Tissues are needed.

The Second Alpha Heir is CL’s first self-published book and a great tale. It is a shifter paranormal fantasy romance story and one that I thoroughly enjoyed. The world building, the plot and the characterisation that CL has created is a little different than the norm and it makes for a refreshing read. I found myself fully immersed in this new world because of her storytelling. With action and magic, fear and danger, hope and longing the story will keep you on your toes.

Nolen wasn’t meant to be more than he was but circumstances see to it that he must now take on more than he imagined at his young age. Now he must find the courage and a new found faith in himself to pull this off. With his new friendships his must fight for what is his.

WOW, I received this book and devoured it in just a few hours. I have been waiting for Jonas’s story. I am hooked on this delicious series. Anise did not disappoint in fact she went beyond my expectations in this amazing heartbreaking fourth book in the Titans of Manhattan series. Anise certainly puts her readers and characters through their paces but in this one boy she went all out.

Jonas is arrogant he is powerful and he is a playboy what he wants he gets. He works hard and plays harder, one-night stands, no strings. But in this story, we get to see a much different side of him when his past is staring him in the face.

Mackenzie wants this, no she needs this but at what cost? When she walks through that door all the painful secret’s that destroyed her, scarred her, left her devastated, lost and defeated all come rushing back.

Pilot Who Knows the Waters is the sixth book in the Lord Hani historical cosy mystery series. I have followed this series from the beginning and enjoy NL’s passion of the history of that time which is set in Ancient Egypt. The historical information coupled with the vivid imagery and descriptions and striking details in which the story is told enhances the journey. I suggest you start at the beginning of the series and work your way up to this one. There is lots to learn about Lord Hani and the other characters that bring the story to life.

Lord Hani is once again thrown into the unknown when he is given the task of secretly obtaining a Hittite bridegroom for the Queen Meryet-amen. Unfortunately, there are those that think that the rightful person should be the one and will stop at nothing to see that happen. War is imminent.

This is an enjoyable read where murder and mystery coupled with ancient Egypt history. If you love a good murder mystery, then this book and series is for you.

Heels, Rhymes, & Nursery Crimes is a 27-book series and each book is written by many different talented authors. Queen of Hearts by Natalina Reis is just one of them.

Queen of Hearts with its deliciously dark and twisty themes are what you get in this fantasy romance book. Natalina never fails to give the reader something in the realm of unusual and that is what I love about her work.

A quirky look at a nursery rhyme with crimes that is full of thrills and intrigue, suspense and mayhem. This is a short little novella and a great quick read that is definitely entertaining.

She loves to take on anything in lipstick and high heels. You’d better stay out of her way or you could be next. But you will never see her coming, or will you?

I look forward to reading each and every book in this quirky series.

The Prospect of Death is an historical, cosy mystery set in 1862 Run’s End British Columbia. This is the time of the gold rush when one and all sought to find wealth through gold. I realised once finished that this is actually book 2 in the series but it can easily be read as a standalone. I will go back and read the first book though to get the whole picture.

The story is well written and the historical information was fascinating and well researched. The characters are well-developed and likeable. I was pleasantly surprised with the vividness the narrative invoked. It is an easy and enjoyable to read as we learn about the time and the new lives of these women who find themselves in a strange new world and full of hope and intrigue at meeting prospective husbands.

Alyssa has her own agenda but a brutal murder and a smallpox epidemic find her stuck in the small town with lots of potential suspects trying to find a killer. Carmen takes the reader through false trails and red herrings.

No Pistol Tastes the SameNo Pistol Tastes the Same by Jacob Paul Patchen
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Jacob has done extremely well in delivering an emotional Military thriller story that shows the effects of a cold hard war not only on the outside but deep within the mind that has been scared. A fight that continues long after the war has ended. But the lack of support for these men and women who sacrifice and often get nothing in return blows my mind.

The story of Sergeant Grimm coming home after witnessing the atrocities of war is insightful and well executed and the plot is well thought out. Trying to fit in in a world that is no longer familiar a world that no longer fits him.

PTSD is a psychological war within itself and once locked in it is hard to escape. I have battled this disease for many years. So, this story hit home a lot. It is a disease that affects not only the sufferer but everyone around them. But what is sad that if the disease is not visible like a broken arm, then many do not understand the fight within.

You need to grab a copy and dig in to a story that is anything but flowers and sparkly things it is.
