The Explorer (Mountains Series Book 6) by Phoebe Alexander gives us Abby’s story and the ups and downs of a young woman trying to find her place in the world, college, friends and sexuality. There is a lot of emotion in this story and Phoebe doesn’t shy away from the different, unusual or anything in between. She explores it all and has given something for young and older age brackets something to read and connect with and hopefully give them the confidence to open up and be able to discuss the tough topics and bring them a voice.

The Player (Men of WarHawks Book 2) by Jacquie Biggar, is the story of Roy who made a bad decision in the female department and now it is affecting his game when this stalker won’t leave him alone. Patience who is a PR person and is hired to make Roy look good after a crazy ex tries to get him back but destroying his game in the process. What neither of them expect is the lengths she will go to and what they find with each other. I really enjoyed this story and would have loved more.

Summer Princess (Dark Fae Book 1) by Sloane Murphy is a dark paranormal fantasy book. Annnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnndddddd the ending, DID NOT SEE THAT COMING! Absolute total surprise and colour me Gobsmacked, very clever Sloane, very clever. The plot is very well thought out and cleverly orchestrated. There are some pretty barbaric and gruesome ways of the people of the world in which Sloane has created but you are unable to put it down.
They were all friends as children until a cruel and vicious execution of one of their own tore them apart. It seems what they have seen in front of them is certainly all a lie.
This is the first book I have read by this author and I will certainly be following up on other works.
Prophecy Girl (Camille Bishop Book 1) by Ravin Tija Maurice is a murder mystery paranormal urban fantasy story that has a little of everything to draw you in. There are a lot of characters in this book and Ravin did a good job of setting the scene and writing them as people and bringing them to life. It is a story full of emotions but the unpredictable makes it hard to put down.
The world in which Camille lives is anything but normal as she soon discovers as she ventures into her role as a PI. She learns that life is not as black and white as she believed and those she can trust are few in numbers. Not only that but she has to come to terms with who she is and what those around her want with her new powers.
Prophecy Girl has set the scene for what is to come from this author.

Anne by Zarina Macha, is a YA coming of age story that shows the usual issues that teenagers have to face and come to terms with. Zarina writes about issues such as bullying and drugs, alcohol and suicide, sense of sexuallity and who you are, gender and many others.
Anne has to live in an abusive environment as her alcoholic father abuses her mother. When her mother up and disappears her father tells her she just walked away and sends her away to live with an Aunt which turns out to be the best for her.
Her writing style is easy to follow and easily captures the essence of being a teenager that would make this story a great read for them.

Serenade by T.K. Lawyer is an interesting read and a little different from the usual paranormal shifter stories. T.K. is a new author to me and I enjoyed the story of a witch and a wolf shifter and a slow burn romance.
Kingsley wants nothing more in life than to find his mate but telling her the truth of what he is needs to be done carefully or he could lose her forever and that is not an option. Now he has found his mate he is not willing to let her go but getting her proves harder than he imagined.
Eva has powers she is afraid of and her trust in men is non existent but she can’t help but want the strange sexy man she just met. If only she could trust him and not hurt him with her powers in return. He seems too good to be true and she soon finds out he may just be.
Red Riding Hood (Down the Rabbit Hole) Anthology is a collection of unique very short stories that is their adult adaptation of Little Red Riding Hood with a little twist by 12 very talented authors:
Ruby by Autumn Sand is sensual and romantic and temptation at its finest. Autumn knows her stuff as usual.
Finding Red by Natalie-Nicole Bates is a little bit of a thriller where one girl tries to hide her identity but is always found by the bad step father and evil mother. Can she finally find a safe haven.
Cloaked by Lia Fairchild is part romance and part thriller, and will keep you on your toes.
The Wolves Den by Laci Page is hot and takes you into the world of BDSM. Ooooh la la.
Falling For The Hood: A Fairy Tale Retold by Amy Allen where the hot and sexy enemy is more than he seems and turns out to be so much more.
Redd’s Wolves by D.A. Stein is a reverse harem with one innocent girl living with her Granny and three sexy wolf shifters.
Little Red’s: A Red Riding Hood Short Story by Darlene Tallman is where a girl finds out her sexy new boss is a wolf shifter and mates are for life.
River Runs Red by Kay Elle Parker is steamy and mysterious as she learns that she has been duped by her mother and must learn who she is all over again. It ended before I was ready.
Magic of Merlot by Lorah Jaiyn is a thriller where karma decides to take those who mean harm and along the way two souls find each other.
Redbourne by Natalia Schellhaas is a bit of a sad tale as falsehoods and lies and prejudices cause death and trouble.
Brother Wolfe by Ceecee Elaine is a bit on the dark side as a sister becomes her brother’s latest victim.
Waking Red by Jess Bagnall is thriller and again a bit on the sad side.
Each one is cleverly written and shaped by their imagination to give each a modern twist that will leave you wanting more as they include paranormal and fantasy, erotica and romance, BDSM and reverse harem, and so much more. Trust me the pages will keep turning as you get a taste for these sexy, stimulating and tempting snacks. I have found myself some new authors, I liked their stories so much.
Marked for Death (A Gray Ghost Novel Book 6) by Amy McKinley is another great addition to this series and another prime example of why Amy is such a good writer. While this can be read as a standalone, I strongly suggest that you start reading from the beginning, that way you get all the backstories and get to know the characters and the family of the Gray Ghost team. This new gripping instalment starts with the action, suspense and thrills right from the start and continues throughout. Marked for Death is a romantic suspense story that is full of drama and violence, mystery and intrigue, danger and twists and plenty of palpable emotions that pop off the page. I was on the edge of my seat the whole time whilst devouring page after page just to know what was happening.
You can never go wrong when getting a book written by Amy, so get started today.

Hail Mary by Hope Anika is an enthralling read and the storyline is exciting and the plot is done well. It is a mystery romance story with lots of emotions, where there are both moments of hilarity and others are sad and tragic but it keeps you on your toes as you traverse the web Hope has weaved together. It is a tale where you feel like you are walking the walk right along with them as you set out to catch a killer. The characters are well developed and lovable.
Beau Greystone is a former DEA agent and now a sheriff who is haunted by the past and the murder of his wife. Who is now on the hunt for a killer.

A Study in Spirits: A College Fae magic series #2 by Byrd Nash is a YA story that is fun and full of adventure as the gang from the first book return. There is more to the worlds and magical creatures in this story that have never been seen before. Byrd’s imagination takes us on a journey where something has come from a place that few know about and they must race against time before old teachings and knowledge are gone for good and hope that they too do not get lost for good.

Lowe is a YA paranormal/supernatural story with shifters and witches, suspense and drama, angst and danger, love and friendship, and find out exactly who you are and that there is more in life than on can comprehend.

Lisa was prepared to go to college and have her best friend by her side. However, she soon finds out that who she is and what she is something out of a fantasy book. Her whole view of the world has been turned upside down, but will she be able to live with what it entails.

Imposter: An Ash Park Novel (Volume 7) by Meghan O’Flynn is a suspense thriller at it’s finest. Wow what a tangled web Meghan has given us with this book in the series. Dare I say it is the best yet. You never know where the story will go and being able to put the book down is not an option because you need to know. You need to know what is hiding in the shadows, what sort of madness will be encountered, just how dark are the monsters. Well if you want to know as well get your copy now.

Cade (Default Distraction #3) by A.S. Roberts is an emotionally raw read and will tug hard on the heartstrings. I love this series and Cade & Winters story is one I have been waiting for. I loved the fact that AS has intertwined all three stories around the same time. So when you are reading it you get a snippet and remember the other two couples and their own heartaches and joys.
Winter is still trying to keep it together after being discarded by her first real love and the life she soon found herself in that nearly destroyed her. The last thing she needs is to see the one man who broke her heart, however in order to get back what was stolen, she needs this job and will have to harden her heart once again.
Cades was brought up by a monster, one who destroyed his life. Little did he know it had far more reaching consequences than he knew and destroyed something infinitely more precious.
This story and series is a must to each and everyone’s TBR list.
My Pretty (Mischief Matchmakers Book 1) by Madeline Fay is an erotic tale loosely adapted from the Wizard of Oz. Madeline has totally turned this tale upside down, inside out and twisted around. I have not cried laughing all the way through like I did for a long time. It is a unique and twisted tale that is absolutely hilarious. I must say I love Madeleine’s crazy and look forward to getting my hands on more of her work.
Devil’s Spawn: Satan’s Devils MC Colorado Chapter #6 by Manda Mellett is a great unique story. I have loved every book I have read by Manda but this one tops them all. It is a very emotional read and tells the story of two of the MC members at the same time. The MC brothers are people I would want in my life and that is because Manda writes them like they are real people who pop off the page. These are alpha men who love deeply and protect what is theirs fiercely.
Lizard has everything he has always wanted, great brothers, freedom to do as he pleases and a job he loves, plus his choice of club women as he wants. However, a twist of fate shows what he has been truly missing and leaves him broken for what he has done.
Mace can’t help his protective nature when a broken and battered woman and child comes into the limelight. What he never wanted is right in front of him. Not only that but is he losing his best friend? What he and the club come to find is that things are not always as they seem and helping could cost them everything when try to help one of their own battle his demons after his mind is broken.
I know one day this series will end but I am not ready for it. I truly love this series and the associated series.

Mountains Loved (Mountains Series Book 3) by Phoebe Alexander is a story that is full of many, many raw emotions. There were many times when I wanted to grab hold of James and strangle him, I just couldn’t believe him, but I should have known better after the first two books. This is not a book of rainbows and unicorns as we would have believed after the last book. This book gives us a look at a relationship that is real and lacking in communication, sometimes love is not enough. It also gives a look at how dangerous it is if you allow others into your relationship.
Sarah, gets put through the wringer with this book and she does it all selflessly for the man she loves. Unfortunately, she has to do a lot of it on her own and she doesn’t know where she will end up. My heart broke in half for her as Phoebe gave us an honest and raw story.
James wants his cake and eat it too and expects that Sarah will just go along with it. He is selfish and can’t see her side of things even though many show him, but it is hard to take a good long look at yourself sometimes. I’m not sure if he can redeem himself with me…….
I can’t wait to see where Phoebe takes us next. I am assuming we will get more of a look at Abby, but you never know.

The Mountains Trilogy (Mountains #1-3) by Phoebe Alexander is a story that focuses on love and sexual freedom/self-discovery. All three books are together which is a bonus because you don’t have to wait for the next book.
Mountains Wanted (Mountains Series Book 1) by Phoebe Alexander is an erotic tale where the female lead is sexual liberal and polyamorous, and our unsuspecting military man is younger and conservative. It is an unlikely pairing but somehow it works, and he is introduced to a lifestyle he never knew existed. Sarah knows what she wants but the traditionalist catholic boy James wants his cake and eat it too. Sometimes I wanted to sit Sarah down and give her a good talking to and hug James due to his confusion and uncertainty and I absolutely cracked up laughing at Sarah’s best friend and her antics. It is a very emotive story and touches on subjects that others may find taboo, but Phoebe is as always very respectful in the genre that she writes.
Mountains Climbed (Mountains Series Book 2) by Phoebe Alexander is the continuing erotic tale where there is much angst and longing, heartache and pain. You need to read Mountains Wanted first because it continues on from it. Phoebe has once again given us a thought-provoking story of one’s sexual journey and of what some will see as taboo. It is a great story, but it is such an emotive story that you feel everything the characters are feeling. Phoebe has once again given us a story that is beautifully written and an erotic contemporary romance that you will love from start to finish. I was so drawn within the story that I read it in one sitting. Sarah has to learn to live without the love of her life which is heart-breaking within itself, but she also has to learn that she must adjust her way of thinking when it comes to the needs of her children. Even though she tried to move on, she could not help what her heart wanted but there is only so much she can take before she finally gives up. James is on an overseas deployment and can’t help but think of the one woman who opened his eyes, he knows he should only focus on his fiancée, but Sarah holds a place in his heart and needs her in his life. Unfortunately, it is too little too late, and he may have lost the greatest thing to ever happen to him. I can’t wait to read the next book to see if my suppositions are founded.

Blood Rebellion (Supernatural Intelligence Agency Book 1) by Nadine Travers is a short paranormal story that gives us a female Heroine and she is kicking b*tt. Nadine has written a story that I would have liked to be longer as some things felt a little rushed but it is well written and fast paced but I would have liked more background on the characters and their relationships but it kept me interested and engaged. There are a lot of varieties with the supernatural, magic and something for everyone.
Casey and others are on the hunt for a vampire in hiding who is causing trouble. However, there is more going on that they are just learning about and if they don’t get to the bottom of it, it will mean war and more deaths. Whilst on the hunt she stumbles upon the one thing she didn’t know even existed for her but finds she likes it.
I liked the characters and I enjoyed the story and look forward to reading more from Nadine.
Rockin’ It Home: a Lawson Family Novel by Tracey Cramer-Kelly is a story immersed in emotion and is a beautifully written tale. I’ve been waiting for Ben’s story, the characters are complex and deep yet they are loveable with their flaws and all. Tracey gives us a look into the life of a rock star and addiction, second chances and new beginnings, love and family.
Ben is a rocker and wants nothing more than to have his baby girl in his life. Unfortunately his life is not all candy and roses. When his new PA comes into the picture she deals with everything, but sometimes that is not enough but knowing what you want and what you need and that they are right in front of you even if you can’t see it is something else.
Tracey took us on a beautiful journey and I loved that we got to catch up with the characters from the previous books. I look forward to Carly’s book next!

Two Hearts Unlikely Heroes (Two Hearts Wounded Warrior Romance Book 9) by Tamara Ferguson is another amazing story in the Wounded Warrior Romance series and her characters are written to be loved. I always find myself getting lost in the heroes and heroines and each leaves a lasting impression and steal your heart. If it is a story that Tamara has written I know I am always in safe hands and will absolutely love the story because she is a great storyteller.
Samantha has served her country and is now coming to terms and peace with the injury she endured to the point she is ready for more but what she didn’t know was that a certain Captain Ben Nash would be part of that more.
Ben is undercover and waiting for the full details to come to light but in the process, he finds the one person he has been looking for and will stop at nothing to her protector.
As always, I look forward to what Tamara gives us next.
A Kiss Beneath A Strawberry Moon (Daydreams & Dragonflies Rock ‘N Sweet Romance #3) by Tamara Ferguson is another wonderful and sweet romance. Tamara’s books are the gift that keeps on giving. It gives you all the good feels. Young love that stands the test of time and to believe in that love, when otherwise seems to be true. Tamara writes with a style that is easy and welcoming and always makes it seem as though Crystal Rock and the characters are real and inviting. I have never read a book by Tamara that I have not liked.
Marielle is a talented singer and is on her way to becoming a star. She has met her true love at a young age but is drawn apart from him not knowing why.
Drew is a skilled composer, but his plans change due to deception to join the military. He is learning to live with an injury and has closed himself off from the one person who can help him fully heal.

IRRESISTIBLE VALENTINE (Irresistible Romance Book 3) is an anthology of valentine romance stories by nine top authors Tamara Ferguson, Natalie Ann, Suzanne Jenkins, Cynthia Cooke, Alicia Street, Jacquie Biggar, Stacy Eaton, Susan Jean Ricci and Patrice Wilton. Each story is about unsuspecting couples that meet and fall in love some in the most unlikeliest circumstances.
Two Hearts’ Reconnaissance: Tamara Ferguson, is a wonderful story where teenagers Eve and Harry meet at Crystal Rock and grow up together but when they follow their hearts passions, they end up losing each other. Will the magic continue in the place they met? Tamara never lets me down with her stories and this one is just as good as all the others.
Cupid’s Quest: Natalie Ann, is the tale of two damaged souls from their pasts that come together through a common goal. Ruby has walls around her heart and doesn’t let anyone in easily. Josh is looking for a home he can make for his family, now he just has to convince her that they can be together. This is a captivating story and one of my favourites in this anthology.
A Little Change of Plans: Suzanne Jenkins, is a great story where Geri is new to the fire station and is driven for a career and will not let anyone stand in her way. All it took is one look and Jake was in love, now he needs to prove it to her.
All Night Long: Cynthia Cooke, is fun and had me laughing as I read about these wonderful characters. Phoebe wants to make her own way as a wedding planner and Beau just wants to keep the bar and hotel in the valley and make it his own. If only he could convince her to stay. A great story to get lost in.
Never Lovers: Alicia Street, is an emotional tale of two people torn apart by a tragedy. Now after many years apart they are forced to share accomodation when wanting to get away from their day to day life. Will true love find its way back to them? A good read.
The Player: Jacquie Biggar, is the story of Roy who made a bad decision in the female department and now it is affecting his game when this stalker won’t leave him alone. Patience who is a PR person and is hired to make Roy look good after a crazy ex tries to get him back but destroying his game in the process. What neither of them expect is the lengths she will go to and what they find with each other. I really enjoyed this story and would have loved more.
Unexpected Packages: Stacy Eaton, Lexi is mortified when a package is delivered to the wrong address and is then brought to her. What was once total annoyance turns into something more than they ever thought possible. All the feel goods came out with this one. I would actually like to see more of this couple.
First Class Flirtation: Susan Jean Ricci, Melissa is looking forward to the extra room she booked on her flight but an altercation changes things and now she is stuck with a grumpy stranger. However these two unlikely people soon learn they cannot live without each other but they may not get their happy ever after when tragedy strikes.
Serendipity Falls: Patrice Wilton, There is something in the water at this unsuspecting town in the snow, Devon doesn’t believe it and he loves his life being a one and done kind of guy but when Tara comes to town he finds she has something he can’t seem to stay away from. Cupid does love love now if only he could find it too. This is a nice and easy enjoyable read.
Black Cat Security by Katerina Ross is a little quirky and unusual and definitely original. It is a quick read, but it is full on and Katerina keeps you guessing as to what is coming. It didn’t quite hit the mark with me as I felt it was lacking something, but it was still an interesting read.
Dragomir is a beaten down man and is filled with rage he cannot contain. Being cursed and kicked out of a brotherhood that was everything means he keeps to himself and illegal fighting is all he can do to find some semblance of normal. When he meets the strange witch, he wants nothing to do with her but she may hold the key to unravel him.

FLOWERS IN DECEMBER TRILOGY: Flowers in December, Coming Home, Second Chance by Jane Suen is an emotional series that focuses on grief and self-discovery. Having all three books is a bonus because you don’t have to wait for the next book to be available, they are all right there ready and waiting to go.
Flowers in December is the first book in the series and is a very short tale and is a touching story of one person’s grief. It is a very emotional time for our main character, which sees him going through a myriad of emotions on this journey which also leads to self-discovery. The writing style is easy to follow, but I did find it hard to hold my attention at times, with the overly polite conversations taking place, but Jane did a nice job of dealing with the sensitive issue death. This book will remind you not to take others for granted in your life and suddenly finding your place in the world even through loss.
Coming Home: the sequel to Flowers in December is a story of one man who after the death of his mother is learning to deal with his grief. In order to pull himself out of his funk he has decided to leave his old life behind and start anew where he grew up. With old friends and new he celebrates the season of his first Christmas without his mother. It is a very quick but emotional read. Jane is a master at never doing what you think should be and always leaves me a little frustrated. But having said that she always writes from the heart and that is infused within her words in her stories. Read and enjoy but you need to read the first book Flowers in December first.
Second Chance: The Conclusion of the Flowers in December Trilogy is an emotional journey where my emotions were all over the place. This is a second chance romance story that I read in one sitting. The characters of Mary Ann and Connor Norton are likeable and well developed. There was some going back in time with Mary Ann’s history some helped but Jane is a master at never doing what you think should be and always leaves me a little frustrated. But having said that she always writes from the heart. Connor’s withdrawal from the world after his mother’s death left Mary Ann wondering what was going on. When he recovers enough, he decides that he needs her but is she still there and waiting?

2AM Secrets by M. Piper is a first for me by this author and I enjoyed the story very much. This intriguing story had all the right ingredients for a hot and steamy romance, there is the hot best friend of the hot but moody brother, love and loss, heartbreak and heartache, secrets and lies, laughter and hot and sizzling sexy time. I absolutely fell in love with the characters and Ms Piper did a great job on them and with the telling of her story.
Archer has loved her for so long he can’t imagine not having her in his life, but he wants more. Unfortunately, there is one thing standing in his way, his best friend. But doesn’t he deserve to have what he wants?
Sadie is always dancing around the man she has loved her whole life, but it can never be, all because he is her brother’s best friend and that is a definite no go no matter what her heart wants.

Forget Nico: Falling for the Wrong Italian (The Italian Saga #3) by Gaia B. Amman is a YA romance story of angst and drama, love and confusion, teenage trouble and bad boys. It is a story with all the emotions for young love. The earlier books in this series focused on a young woman and her work and relationships including Nico. This book focuses on her younger years as a child/teenager, being in school and forming true friendships/relationships but also on trying to figure out herself and her place of where she fits in. It was interesting to see where it all started.

Scoring Chance: A Mile High Miners Novella by Lane Martin is a contemporary sports romance that is entertaining and is a quick read that is easy to get lost in. Lane’s writing is on point and does not fill a story with unnecessary words. This little gem of a story takes us on a journey of hardship and unexpected understanding. It made me laugh and was full of emotions. It is also full of swoon worthy men and loveable women and I loved the pay it forward idea. Eden is forbidden fruit but Rhett is sure of one thing and that is she will be his but to get there he must travel a long and winding road.
This is my first book I have read by Lane Martin and I look forward to reading more about the Mile High Miners Hockey team.

Around Midnight by Zarina Macha, is a YA romance story that shows the raw feelings of first time love and the uncaring side of a boy who thinks nothing but himself. It is full of angst and betrayal, love and hurt, confusion and loss. It is a quick read but complex read that packs all the emotions for young love. It is easy to forget how wounding a fist love can sometimes be. I found myself loving Vince and Megan but that soon turned to hate for a boy who is toxic and manipulated and pressured and shown he was a nasty, nasty piece of work and for Zarina to inflect those sorts of emotions to the reader means she did a good job at writing him and the story.
Out Of The Shadows by Theresa Sederholt was an emotional story that was so heartfelt that it broke my heart. It is a story of pain and violence and being broken by what happens to those suffering through it. I applaud Theresa who has done a wonderful job on the writing of this subject and she has done such a great job of painting the picture which stands out and is so vivid. It is a very touching and thought-provoking story that you can’t help but want to reach out and help. Even though the story is fiction, as Theresa writes there is very little for those in the world who go through this and being too scared to own up to being less than what they perceive as being. It is a real-world problem and hopefully stories like these will help. Even after reading it I am still thinking about the story. Well done Theresa.
