In Plain Sight (The Broken Bow Book 3)In Plain Sight by Ashley A. Quinn
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Ashley A. Quinn’s In Plain Sights is the third book in The Broken Bow series and is a suspenseful contemporary second chance romance. This engaging and emotional read gives us lots of intrigue and danger, drama, and angst that you soon find yourself immersed in and page after page turning. Ashley writes strong characters, vivid and descriptive gripping, and deadly tales.

I won’t give anything away as Ashley’s writing should be experienced firsthand.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Savage: An Ash Park Novel (Volume 10) by Meghan O’Flynn is my favourite book of this series and that is saying something.

Petrosky is messed up but even for him his world is shaken to its core.

This psychological thriller is dark and gut-wrenching. It leaves you thinking about it long after you have finished it. I am surprised I didn’t have a heart attack as we watched Petrosky turn himself inside out for those he loves. I swear I lost 5 kilos’ just reading this book and my emotions were on high alert jumping at each sound.

Maggie Adams’s Jinxed (Hell on Heels, #2) is a rom com that is a unique short and fun read. This hot steamy romance has magic and mystery, a little bit of action.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

3.5 stars – Wow, trigger warnings.

Spiteful Punks: dolls and douchebags part one by Madeline Fay is a dark tale that reveals bullying, harassment, and torture. It is an emotional and angst-ridden ride. It is dark and twisted and some will find it hard to read but I love dark and twisted if it is done well. Having said that this story was good but had the potential for something more to take it to the next level which was just out of my reach.

It’s a good start to the duet and I look forward to seeing what comes in book 2.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Electric Temptation is the fifth book in The Protectors Series by Toya Richardson is a great paranormal romance story. It is full of magic and shifters, witches and elementals and has a little bit of everything you want in a good paranormal story. I’ve said it before, but Toya always gives us that little bit of something more, that makes her worlds and characters charming and makes you feel a part of it.

Mason knows the stakes are high this time and he won’t let her down. Now he just has to find her and keep her safe from those who seek to take away the very essence of who and what she is.

If you love paranormal worlds with a bit of everything then Toya is a must one click for any reader.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

4.5 stars

The SEAL’s Temptation: Wounded Hearts- Book 7 by Jacquie Biggar is a military romantic suspense story. There are several sub plots going on in this book, but Jacquie does a great job in tying them altogether giving us an action packed read. Her development of the characters is complex I love the fact that SEAL’s are never really civilians, they are a brotherhood and a family. Her writings of Maggie and her PTSD is believable and acutely palpable. This vivid page turner had my heart pounding in my chest and at attention as I was transported into the intrigue and drama, action and the journey and part of the team. The story is well written, and the words flowed easily. I didn’t realise it was book 7 in the series until after I had started reading so now, I need to go back and start at the beginning to where it all started and get everyone’s back story.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Twisted Throttle: Satan’s Devils MC Second Generation #3 by Manda Mellett is where the kids of the original MC members have grown up and taken over roles in the club. This thrilling ride is action packed and full of suspense, with danger and twists and turns that keep you on the edge of your seat. But what I love is the humour and brotherhood, the love and family that Manda gives us amongst the crazy and the intrigue. I am always so engrossed with Manda’s tales that they are over long before I am ready. I love that we got to see what is happening in the lives of old friends in this series.

Throttle is entranced by this knock out of a woman. But one night brings him into a game of cat and mouse of a deadly nature.

Scorching Hot Mess by Brooke May is a rom com and flowed well from start to end. Brooke brings her loveable, quirky, and realistic characters to life. They are believable and you become invested in them. This story has a little bit of everything in it, from drama and fun, sarcasm and drunken nights, to holly hotness and lazy boyfriends, to frustration and love and of devil besties. Brooke is really good at writing rom com and always makes me laugh out loud and getting funny looks on the bus.

Willow Everett is definitely a hot mess. She is also sassy and bold, funny, and feisty and after one drunken night her life is about to change.

I enjoy Brooke’s writing and haven’t read anything I have not liked from her. I mean who doesn’t like a blind racoon as a pet?

Two Hearts, One Stone (Boots and Babies) by Leslie Scott is a contemporary cowboy romance. Leslie’s writing style is easy and enjoyable and entertaining. Her narrative gave us a story that is fun and witty, romantic, and heart-warming, amusing and yet at times saddening. This is a very quick read. It is written in dual POV which I love because you get a well-rounded picture of what is going on.

Sexy cowboy Stone Dempsey is a manwhore and completely shameless. He is about to have his life turned upside down. One thing he knows and knows well is women and horses but definitely not the one thing that will bring him to his knees.

Emmersyn doesn’t want a relationship and especially not one with the manhoe in front of her.

Jordan’s Shadow by T.R. Cupak is a dark and twisted and disturbing read that is so good. It is heart wrenching and heartfelt all at the same time with so many emotions taking place. You will need the tissues when you read this and enter a world where love and loss, revenge and betrayal, lies and secrets, pain and fear will envelope you like a dark cloud on a winters day. There are also lighthearted moments that will make you laugh but trust me when I say this story is not for the feint of heart and does have things that may cause triggers, so BEWARE! This story is heart shattering and yet beautiful. You can’t help but fall in love with all the characters. T.R is one heck of a great writer.

This city boy meets country girl story was told from Alex’s POV and I found his sarcastic inner voice funny even when I had to do a couple of double takes. The story felt like it was written for a younger audience as well. The premise is good but I found it to be missing something to take it to the next level. It’s refreshing to see a story that is not about the norm.
