Beats of the HeartBeats of the Heart by Charli B. Rose
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Beats of the Heart is the first book in the Lyrical Odyssey Rock Star Series by Charli B. Rose. It is an amazing start to the series and is her debut book, people, debut.. It is a romance friends to lovers story where there is friendship and love, heartbreak and loss, heartache and second chances.

Dawson and Izzy are have known each other since childhood and transcended from friends to lovers and had the world at their feet. He the Rockstar and she trying to find her way to what she loves, art. But I went from loving him to wanting to make him hurt. Charli has brought to life, two wonderful characters who wove their way into my heart and their relationship is so emotional that it pulled at my heartstrings. It is an emotional rollercoaster ride and I am left with mixed feelings as I feel somethings were left unanswered with the way it ended. What it the mystery that now surrounds Izzy? I hate cliffhangers. I need the next book. I want answers now! Look out world Charli has arrived!

Leaving Jackson Wolf by P.A. Kane – Review by Jenni Bishop

Leaving Jackson WolfLeaving Jackson Wolf by P.A. Kane
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Leaving Jackson Wolf by P.A Kane is a Young Adult coming of age story that is thought provoking and at times it was both heart wrenching and heartwarming with social  issues and strong bonds of friendships. It is about a young man trying to come to terms  with his ethnicity and where he fits both at home and in the world. It is a powerful and  emotional read and one that you won’t be able to stop until it ends. P.A. has done a good  job at writing a story that will leave you a little raw as you take the journey in to a world  that shows the best and the worst of human nature.    I look forward to reading more from Mr. Kane.

Fatal Legislation: A Novel: Karina Cardinal Mystery Book 2Fatal Legislation: A Novel: Karina Cardinal Mystery Book 2 by Ellen Butler
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Fatal Legislation a Karina Cardinal Mystery is the second and brilliant book in the series by Ellen Butler. I enjoyed the first book but loved this one. Ellen has come up with a story that is full of danger and mystery, drama and suspense, intrigue and politics and has done a wonderful job of weaving it all together and making it into a gripping read. Throw in the FBI, an assassin, secret operatives and Karina Cardinal and you have a compelling murder mystery and an unpredictable story that you cannot put down. So much so I read it in one sitting. It has a fast pace read but it flows smoothly and is so, so, easy to read and get lost in. Karina Cardinal cracks me up. The situations she finds herself in sometimes boggles the mind. Her trusty side kick had me laughing out loud and I hope he continues in further stories. Karina is smart and hardworking, sassy and independent and once she is on to something she won’t let go and her boyfriend is determined she is going to give him a heart attack. Ellen is a great storyteller, leaving us hanging on every word and guessing the whole way through to the end. Trust me Ellen is one author that everyone should put on their read list. I cannot wait for the next Karina installment.

The Something Series – Box Set Books 1-3: (Tell Me Something, Ask Me Something & Bet Me Something) by Aubrey Bondurant

Tell Me Something is the first book in the series and is a great read!

Our main characters Haylee & Josh are from completely different backgrounds and lifestyles and they have both had more than their share of challenges, problems and heartbreak. When these two meet by chance, an opportunity Haylee can’t refuse is offered and the instant attraction leads to a sizzling connection that can’t be ignored. But will their issues become too much between them? Will they realise what they want before it tears them apart? Will Halyee survive the perceived betrayal or will Josh come to his senses before he looses her forever?

Ask ​Me​ ​Something​ ​is​ ​the​ ​second ​book​ ​in​ ​the​ ​series​ ​by​ ​​and​ ​is​ ​a​ ​​great read, even better than the first and that is saying something as I loved the first one!​ ​

In this story our​ ​main​ ​characters​ ​Sasha​ ​&​ ​Brian​ ​have worked together for years in the advertising industry and are the best of friends. When a promotion comes along she takes it but it means she has to move away and makes him her boss. Sasha may be a force to be reckoned with in the business world but on the inside she is fighting a secret she has never told anyone.

Brian is the complete opposite in that he is so laid back and easy going until he is in the bedroom, then things get to sizzling with this hot and sexy alpha male.

Bet Me Something is the third book in the series and it is every bit as good if not better than the others.

Kenzie and Colby are our main characters who have always been in each other’s lives as they grew up together. Colby and Kenzie who both are dealing with their own insecurities which are holding them back from having a fulfilling life. There were a few times I was mad with how they were treated and for how others treated them and for not standing up for themselves. But overall they are two beautifully smart, witty and intelligent people who you envy their easy going relationship, if only it could be more!

The secondary characters were just as entertaining as the main characters and had me laughing and crying right along with them. I​ ​love ​reading books ​by​ ​Aubrey,​ ​as I love​ ​her​ ​style​ ​of​ ​writing​ ​as it flows​ ​easily​ ​and​ ​the story lines she comes up with ​keep​ ​me​ ​hooked​ ​and​ fully invested and ​wanting​ ​to​ ​know​ ​more​ ​about​ ​the​ ​made​ ​for​ ​each​ ​other​ ​couples that I so adore.​

There are so many wonderful characters that we have learned about in this series but there are still so many that we need to have their stories told. You will find yourself laughing and crying, holding your breath, heartbroken and jealous as you walk through the Something series world. There are many, many emotional twists and turns and insecurities that will have you biting your nails and hoping for the best. ​I​ ​absolutely ​love​ ​all​ ​the​ ​witty​ ​remarks​ ​and​ ​the​ ​easy​ ​banter​ ​between​ ​all these​ ​characters and their loyalty and friendships.​ When these men love they love hard and fast and set the sheets on fire.

​I​ ​look​ ​forward​ as always ​to​ ​all​ ​future​ ​reads​ ​from​ ​Aubrey​ ​as​ she is one ​talented​ ​author.

Untamable by Jamie Schlosser – Review by Jenni Bishop

UntamableUntamable by Jamie Schlosser
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Untamable by Jamie Schlosser is a standalone book and is a romantic comedy. I laughed and cried throughout the entire story that was highly entertaining. It was fun with lots of humour that kept you enthralled and not wanting it to stop. Jamie did a great job of writing the characters that seem so real, honest, charming and witty.

What Emery finds when he takes on his next project is nothing at all what he was expecting, in many ways. He wonders if he has bitten off more than he can chew when coming face to face with the problem.

Estelle needs help, there is no denying it and there is apparently only one man capable of taking on her problem.

Will Emery be able to assist the lovely Estelle and take care of her problem? Will he see more than the woman that needs help? Will Emery see more to this woman than meets the eye?

This is a sweet and hilarious read that you do not want to miss. Jamie is a very clever writer that has found the right mix. I look forward to her next book.

Venganza: The Fuentes Legacy by Greta Cribb – Review by Jenni Bishop

Venganza: The Fuentes LegacyVenganza: The Fuentes Legacy by Greta Cribbs
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Venganza: The Fuentes Legacy by Greta Cribbs is definitely an interesting story. One that I am not sure how I feel about it. On one hand it is a quick and compelling read, but on the other hand I was sickened by the heart wrenching turn of events but it is like watching a train wreck, you cannot stop looking. It is a very, very, emotional read and I felt all of the pain and suffering, betrayal and loss that the main character felt. Greta is good at writing very detailed scenes that you can visualise so easily and sometimes get lost in that detail. There is a lot of very, very, dark and graphic scenes to this story that many may be uncomfortable with. The Fuentes Legacy is nothing to be proud of and the dark secrets and lies they keep are atrocious and I found myself wanting to do some serious harm to them. There is lots of drama and suspense, horror and pain, guilt and suffering in this dark tale will go straight to your heart and emotions. So if you like dark and twisted stories then this is story that you will like.

Forgetting Ophelia: A Novel by Julie C. Gardner is an interesting story about a woman who is finding herself after her life is turned upside down. Trouble is, I am not entirely sure she knew what that looked like. It is a story about secrets and denial, loss and new beginnings and finding yourself. The story started out slow but gained momentum quickly. It was also an emotional read and I felt all of Lia’s pain and suffering, betrayal and loss, yes I needed tissues. As much as the story annoyed me at times it kept me engrossed and I had to know how it turned out. Lia and Jake had the perfect life, according to their plan, but was that plan what they both wanted? But secrets changed everything. Was it really ever the perfect life? Starting over was not in the plan. Rediscovering yourself is never easy. Taking stock of your life is daunting. Taking a good look at yourself is hard. Jake, well what can I say, he is an idiot, he chose a path that he regretted and I wanted to shake him up.

It is a good start for the series and oh so sexy and oh so hot, with a lot of sizzle and passion as well.

The mystery and intrigue, danger and action and thrills and spills and the elusive bad guy continues to play havoc and we find our characters in some harrowing and dramatic situations. The intrigue of the story and the drama that unfolds hold you captive as does the scorching heat between the sheets and everywhere else that was available. Don’t get me wrong I love a story that has lots of explicit sex but seriously, the man needs therapy. LOL. I think this book is the best of the series but the ending fell a little flat for me, there could have been more on the demise of the baddies.

What I do love is that through it all they are determined to fight for each other and their love of not only each other but those they consider family and friends. But let’s not forget those trusted men who are always in the background just taking care of the bad guys. I would love to see them get their own stories.

Never Let Me Fall (Fatal Dreams #3) by​ Abbie Roads is another great book in the Fatal Dreams series where the legend continues. It is a supernatural story that is full of darkness and suspense, pain and suffering, destiny and love. Each book is about couples that are bound by a legend where they are destined to be together. Where the connection together is life long and undeniable. This series is one of my favourites and is a compelling and engrossing read that you can not put down until you know how it ends. Abbie is very very good at writing something so dark but also so sweet.

Helena is living a life not of her making. Being accused of something she didn’t do but no one believes her. Freedom is not far away but can she survive long enough to get there. Thomas is damaged and lived through a horrific and tragic past by a monster that he has to live with every day.

All it takes is one look, and their lives change in a way neither of them would have ever thought. If only they can defeat the monster that won’t let go. If only they can escape from the dark.

Even though there is a lot of dark content in this story it is one that grips your heart to the point of tears and makes you hope against hope that these beautiful broken people find peace and love in their lives.

The Catch – Paisley Parker is happy in her own skin and wears it well but deep down there is more going on but will she be able to face the truth and move on? ​There are hot and steamy scenes that will curl your toes and romance and laughter. It was also nice to check in on old friends, Leah, Cap and Casey from the first book.

Siren Call – The mysterious Sirena has secrets and a past she would rather keep to herself but as we find out more about her we see a connection like no other between Sirena and Jessie.

I recommend this box set and any other works by Phoebe.

A Tangy Christmas Kiss by Allyson R. Abbott – Review by Jenni Bishop

A Tangy Christmas KissA Tangy Christmas Kiss by Allyson R. Abbott
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

A Tangy Christmas Kiss Allyson R. Abbott is a captivating christmas romance. It is a short read but it hits all the marks. It is a sweet story that was entertaining and engaging and will make you laugh. It really was a comedy of errors from start to finish.

Mel can’t say no to her mum and this is where she finds herself on a trip of a lifetime. Or is it? Tired, different countries, a different language and a menagerie, yep, she is in over her head and anything that can go wrong definitely does.

Looking for a little something to relax for a few hours then grab a copy and enjoy.
