My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Piece by Piece: A Modern Retelling of Jack and the Beanstalk (Modern Erotic Fairy Tales Book 1) by Brandy Ayers is a contemporary romantic erotica book. I have read several of Brandy’s books and she always creates stories with solid sexy characters that keep you intrigued and not wanting put down and ​keeps​ you coming back for more.

Harper is a strong woman who is sacrificing herself to do a job she hates, for the love and needs of the one she loves more than life itself. She selflessly gave up the life she wanted when just one night changed her life forever.

Jax is on a mission to bring down those who have caused so much pain. What he didn’t realise that this case would change his life forever. Just one look and he couldn’t turn away. Just one taste and he couldn’t leave it alone. Just one night and he would keep her safe. Just one night and he would make her his.

WOW the bedroom, the hotness, the sexiness and the heat factor in this book are toe curling. With a fairy tale that has a lot of danger, a major twist and a sizzling romance what more could you ask for!

Show Me Something (Something, #5) by Aubrey Bondurant – Review by Jenni Bishop

Show Me Something (Something, #5)Show Me Something by Aubrey Bondurant
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Show ​Me​ ​Something​ ​is​ ​the​ ​fifth ​book​ ​in​ ​the​ ​Something​ ​series​ ​by​ ​Aubrey​ ​Bondurant​ ​and sadly the last book in the series. It​ ​is​ ​a​ fantastic read, there is so much depth in this book even better than all the others but not by much. I loved all the other books in this series ​by​ ​Aubrey,​ because​ ​her​ writing style just flows​ beautifully giving you a seamless read. The story lines Aubrey comes up with ​keep​ you coming back for more and the characters that I adore keep me​ ​hooked. ​ ​​​As with all her books the secondary​ ​characters​ ​are​ ​just​ ​as​ ​entertaining​ ​as our main characters and​ ​I feel every emotion and every step of the way with them.

In this story our​ ​main​ ​characters​ Juliette​ ​&​ ​Mark​ ​are​ ​complete strangers​ ​​and they​ ​have​ ​both​ ​had​ ​more​ ​than​ ​their​ ​share​ ​of​ ​issues,​ ​problems​ ​and​ ​heartbreak. Juliette is a force to be reckoned with, she is a whirlwind, that you can’t help but love, she also has no filter and blurts thing out.

Mark on the other hand is the complete opposite in that he is quiet and has been struggling with a loss so profound he doesn’t know how to move forward..

I love this series and I am sad that it has come to an end but Aubrey has left us with a high for the ending with this beautiful story that once again has it has it all. So much emotion from laughter to sadness to heartache that will leave your heart breaking for them. Even though this series has ended I​ ​look​ ​forward​ ​to​ ​all​ ​future​ ​reads​ ​from​ ​this very ​talented​ ​author.

Ask Me Something (Something, #2)Ask Me Something by Aubrey Bondurant
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Ask ​Me​ ​Something​ ​is​ ​the​ ​second ​book​ ​in​ ​the​ ​Something​ ​series​ ​by​ ​Aubrey​ ​Bondurant​ ​and​ ​is​ ​a​ ​​great read, even better than the first and that is saying something as I loved the first one!​ ​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​ ​wanting​ ​to​ ​know​ ​more​ ​about​ ​the​ ​made​ ​for​ ​each​ ​other​ ​couples that I so adore.​ ​As with all her books the secondary​ ​characters​ ​are​ ​just​ ​as​ ​entertaining​ ​as our main characters and​ ​I am always ​laughing​ ​and​ ​crying​ ​right​ ​along​ ​with them.

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.

​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​ is one ​talented​ ​author.

I​ ​give​ ​this​ ​book​ ​5​ ​stars.

Best of my LoveBest of my Love by N.D. Jackson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Best Of My Love: (Love in Emerald Creek) by N.D. Jackson is the first book I have read by this author and is a lovely contemporary romance story. This story draws you in and with the characters being well written it had me hooked me from the very beginning. So much so I didn’t want to put down. The author did a great job making me feel exactly what the characters were going through, so much so that my emotions all over the place. You will find yourself laughing, feeling sad and frustrated right along with them.

Our main character in this story is Dre who is a sassy but successful woman who takes no prisoners and says things without a filter making you crack up with laughter. Dre was hurt and has vowed it will never happen again. But when she comes face to face with her old flame will she give him another chance or will old wound run too deep? Will they get a second chance at love?

Grab a copy and settle in for a good read.

This is a 4 star read

Witch Hunter (Rise To Power) by Dawn Doyle – Review by Jenni Bishop

Witch Hunter (Rise To Power)Witch Hunter by Dawn Doyle
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Witch Hunter: The Rise to Power by Dawn Doyle is a wonderful fantasy story that sees you getting lost in a world where there is a myriad of mystical and magical characters. I have a passion for fantasy books where you get drawn into different worlds full of witches and magic and Dawn has done a great job doing just that.

Diana is just an ordinary girl living in an ordinary world or so she thinks, that is until one night when finds her world turning upside down. Everything she thought she knew and everything she thought she had known changed in the blink of an eye.

Dante has his mission and if not followed certainly means death. Prophecies as revelations mean the end of his world and would mean the end of all he has worked towards. Being a hunter means bringing about the end to all those who could destroy it all.

Dawns imagination has cleverly crafted a story that has you turning page after page to find out what happens with these magical creatures and hoping against hope that good can triumph over evil. When friends turn into foes and foes into friends who can you trust?

This is the first book that I have read by this author and and it certainly won’t be the last as I look forward to reading more of her stories full of witches, magic, and love.

This is a five star read.

Rhapsody in RedRhapsody in Red by Mila Waters
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Rhapsody in Red by Mila Waters is a very short story but it is a good paranormal romance story that is full of longing, grief and passion. Mila Waters has crafted a tale that intrigues and compels and has you enjoying every word. It would be good to see this story grow into a full book.

Calix has known loss so great that he is unable to move on with his life. He also holds a secret that none know except for those within his close circle. Vivienne knows that she has what it takes to get close to the elusive CEO and his mysterious company but when they meet sparks fly and they both get more than they bargained for.

Even though this is a great quick read it is well worth it. This story will have you engaged and captivated. I look forward to read more of Mila’s stuff.

Sunburner (Moonburner Cycle, #2)Sunburner by Claire Luana
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Sunburner is the second book in the Moonburner Cycle by Claire Luana and the story continues on where we see the return of our favorite characters and new ones to boot. In this mythical fantasy book there is a bit of everything you could want, a lot of action, danger and mystery with a little romance thrown in as well.

Claire has woven great fantasy and created characters that are well developed and you feel as though you are going on this gripping journey with them in this magical world. The story is fast paced but you will not be able to read it fast enough because you keep wanting to know what will happen next.

Just when they thought they were free of war, they learn that there is more than meets the eye when it comes to the hell that has been unleashed in their world. Will Moonburners and Sunburners be able to come together to fight the evil that is literally destroying their world? Will they find the key to saving everything and everyone they hold dear? Our heroine and her hero will do anything to save their people.

I enjoyed these books and highly recommend the Moonburner Cycle novels that will keep you engaged right the way through.

Bet Me Something (Something, #3)Bet Me Something by Aubrey Bondurant
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Bet Me Something is the third book in the Something Series by Aubrey Bondurant and it is every bit as good if not better than the others. Aubrey’s writing style finds you fully invested in and hooked with each and every book. Having read the other books in this series I was up to date on the back stories of the characters which I have come to love as if my own friends and family.
It is a fast, light and easy read that will have you hooked from the very first page and lost in the world that Aubrey has written.

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 two beautifully smart, witty and intelligent people who you envy their easy going relationship, if only it could be more!

There are so many wonderful characters that we have learnt 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.

This is a 5 star read.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Silent Innocence is the second book in the Fitz Series by Theresa Sederholt and I must say it is definitely one of the best books I have read this year. I have not read the first book, Uniquely Mine, and in no way shape or form did it make any difference when reading this book.

Theresa Sederholt has written an amazing story that is full of mystery and intrigue and is so captivating that it will keep you on your toes trying to guess what is going to happen next and you will not want to put it down. This book has everything you could want in a good book, crime and passion, love and heartbreak, danger and fear, sadness and redemption. So many emotions will flow through you in the blink of an eye leaving you wondering if you can cope with anything more but not wanting to stop.

The story is written in different points of view which I love and gives the story and the characters more depth. The characters are well written and I felt I was walking with them every step of the way on this journey, helping them to put this mystery together.

Theresa Sederholt is definitely one author that is a stand out in the writing profession. I suggest you take the time to read her works. I for one will ensure I read all she has to offer.

This is most definitely a 5 star read.

The LeftoverThe Leftover by Brooke Williams
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The Leftover by Brooke Williams is a stand alone book and a great quick read that kept me entertained right throughout the story. The characters were unique and engaging and as we got to know each of them, we find some definitely more entertaining than others and they will have you laughing out loud, whilst finding yourself wanting to slap some of the others. The concept is different from other reads which adds to its appeal. I mean who doesn’t love a sweet romantic comedy with a twist of revenge!

Our main character, Megan finds herself in a situation, thanks to her sister, that she would never have thought possible and it is something she thought would ever happen to her. But what turns out to be the hardest thing and definitely a challenge, in more than one way, turns out to be exactly what she needs. Is Megan able to endure what is set out before her? Will she learn more about herself has she ever has before? Will she be able to keep her head in the game? I loved watching Megan grow and become more confidant in herself and found myself on the edge of the seat rooting for her.

Overall I thought this story was fun, sweet and refreshing and very well written and I enjoyed every minute of it.

A Ghoul's Kiss (Ghoul Kisses, #1)A Ghoul’s Kiss by J.M. Stoneback
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

A Ghoul’s Kiss is the first book in the Ghouls Kisses series by J.M. Stonebeck which is an
Urban Fantasy, Romance, Paranormal story. Ghouls Kisses is a quick read that gave us a look at JM’s unique and refreshing take on a world full of Ghouls, Vampires and other paranormal beings. Even though this story is a quick read it was well written and had everything needed to make it a good read. It is action packed and fast paced, along with gripping suspense and danger lurking just around the corner plus it is seductive to boot and is one of the best supernatural reads I have come across in a while.
A Ghouls Kiss follows our main character Sarah Clemons who is just about to embark on a new beginning but finds herself thrown into a world she never knew existed. When a blind date goes from bad to worse Sarah finds herself at the mercy of the hot and sexy alpha, Eric, who is far more than he seems. When Eric stumbles across a Human in need of help, little does he know that she holds the key that may help him to not only destroy his enemy but may be the one to his heart.
I thoroughly enjoyed the witty banter of the characters and all the twists and turns that came their way. I recommend this book to all those that love a good alpha romance with a paranormal and urban fantasy twist. I thoroughly look forward to the next book.
This book is a 5 star read.

Fractured Past (Talnarin #1)Fractured Past by D.E. Chapman
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Fractured Past is the first book in the A Talnarin Novel Series by D.E. Chapman and her debut novel. It is a new adult, fantasy, science fiction book that had me a little unsure in the very beginning but once I settled into the story it captured my attention and held it till the very end.

The main character Alanna, is fighting for her life, where we see a lot of flashbacks as she tells us her very painful and horrific story. Alanna doesn’t seem to know just who she is any more, what she is capable of nor what she can and can’t do with a power she didn’t ask for and can not control. She is a very determined, capable and strong young woman even after all her mistreatment. She no longer knows who she can trust but finds herself in need of help. Alana finds herself in a world where everyone is capable of doing things she never dreamed of or knew existed. But just as she finds some sort of “normalcy” she finds that her very existence is seen as a threat and she must prove that she is not the enemy and that she knows more about the enemy that could help those who hold her captive. If only they would listen to her. If only she can survive long enough to reach her ultimate goal.

This story is well written and full of action, mystery and lots of suspense and I can’t wait to see what DE has in store for us in the next book..

This book is a 4 star read.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Beachcomber Investigations: 4 Book Set a Romantic Detective Series by Stephanie Queen is the first four books in the Beachcomber Investigations Series. This is my first time reading books from the talented author and it won’t be the last. I really enjoyed this box set as there was plenty of everything you could want in a story, from action and suspense, mystery and intrigue, romance and witty banter that will have you laughing out loud. Leave yourself plenty of time to read it because once you start, you won’t want to stop, until you have absorbed every last word, as you become entertained and lost in the world of these loveable heroes.

There are many lovable characters in these books but Dane and Shana are our main focus and the sexual tension is sizzling, with their love hate relationship and their own issues holding them back. Dane is ex special ops and a legend and certainly not looking for a partner. Shana is an Aussie surfer chick and ex-Scotland Yard detective. When their worlds collide sparks come flying and tortuous games begin as they go from case to case to catch the bad guys.

You won’t just fall in love with and be captivated by Dane and Shana, you will be just as drawn to the rest of their unruly gang of players as well. I am looking forward to getting my hands on the next books in the series.

The Right BrotherThe Right Brother by Tammy Mannersly
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The Right Brother is the first book I have read by this author, Tammy Mannersly. It is a quick read short story of mystery and drama, some humor and love. The story is told in dual points of view, which I love, as we get to find out what is happening with the characters as the story unfolds. There are many twists and turns and major manipulations in this story as we uncover the truths behind what one powerful man truly plans.

Gwen has decided to accept the invitation from a student’s father, David, to spend Christmas with them. However, when Gwen is greeted at the door by Blake, she finds not all is as it seemed it would be. Now she knows should she stay or leave? Is there more at play here or should she give the benefit of the doubt? Gwen has been warned of true intentions but she fails to heed the warnings. Now the one thing Gwen loves the most in this world, is the one thing being held for ransom, if she does not go along with his plan.

Which brother is the right brother? Will Gwen be able to discover in time what the plan is? Will they be able to beat the master at his own game? Will Gwen be able to get out of his clutches? What does he really want? Does games, power and money really mean more than love?

I look forward to reading more from this author!

Breaking the Girl by M.C. Webb – Review by Jenni Bishop

Breaking the GirlBreaking the Girl by M.C. Webb
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Breaking the Girl by M.C. Webb is an unconventional dark romance and definitely not your usual romance story, as it shows the very real, very seedy and very dark side of the adult film industry world. Nothing is sugarcoated, what the women who enter into this kind of life are subjected to, how truly bad the industry is towards them and what happens to the women themselves, is all laid bare. It was actually refreshing to read a romance with something a little different but hard on your emotions.

This story is centered around Payton and Axel who come from very different lives but yet have so much in common. When their worlds collide, nothing good can come from it, can it?

Axel has given up on the industry that has made him into a soulless and empty shell of himself. He is tired of the life he has lived. So tired of the drugs, booze and the meaningless sex. Tired of the manipulation of the people he works for. Train them and hand them over, they know what they are getting into. Train them and hand them over, I get my money. Train them and hand them over, show no emotions, emotions are a thing of the past. Rules are never broken.

Payton is homeless and desperate. So desperate that when she is approached by a stranger with a proposition she can’t turn down, she decides to take him up on his offer. An offer to be trained by the best in the adult film industry, so she can get the money she so desperately needs. But is selling your soul worth more than your need for the money?

I love M.C. Webb’s writing style and the picture she paints of the characters and their world. I recommend this book to anyone who loves dark romance. I will be reading other books by this author.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Simply Crazy is the first book in the Jaded Series by Jenn Hype and I loved it! It is brilliant! I loved the sarcasm and wit of Jenn’s writing. The story is written in the first person point of view of the two main characters, which I enjoy. You will laugh till you cry and hold your breath whilst trying not to snort (ok, so maybe that’s just me) with all the goings on in this wonderful world Jenn has created. She writes strong, sassy women, who take no prisoners and strong sexy alpha men that will leave you wanting them as your book boyfriends. This is one romantic, sarcastic and hilariously funny comedy that you will not put down until the very end.

Our main characters Blake and CJ both have flaws but the chemistry is sizzling. Blake is definitely crazy and says the first thing that pops into her head but she is the most loveable, loyal and friendly person anyone could want to be friends with. This story is full of action and drama with a lot of crazy. CJ is complex and needs to find his way out of the hole he has put himself in since his tour overseas. The rest of the gang crack me up and I can’t wait to read future books in this series to see where Jenn takes them. This may be the first book I have read by this author but it will most certainly not be the last.

This is a must 5 star read.

Tell Me Something is the first book in the Something series by Aubrey Bondurant and is a great read! This is the second book I have read by Aubrey and her style of writing flows easily and the storyline kept me hooked and wanting to know more about this made for each other couple. The secondary characters were just as entertaining and had me laughing and crying right along with them.

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 loses her forever?

There are many, many emotional twists and turns and insecurities that will have you biting your nails and hoping for the best. I also loved all the witty remarks and the easy banter between all the characters. I look forward to all future reads from Aubrey as I find her a talented author.

Forbidden Bonds (Immortal Curse #2)Forbidden Bonds by Lexi C. Foss
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Forbidden Bonds is the second book in the Immortal Curse Series by Lexi C Foss. I would recommend you read Blood Laws the first book in the series to understand the backstory of the characters and the world in which Lexi has weaved for us. This book picks up where the first one left off and is a paranormal romance about two people whose world collides and enemies become friends or maybe something more.

This story is about Tom and Amelia, we previously saw then in the first book, where Tom finds himself babysitting Amelia, which is the last thing he wants, he wants revenge and she is messing with his plans. You will find yourself disliking Tom, he is working for the enemy, he is not a nice guy but as you start to see the real Tom, you will find yourself surprisingly changing your opinion of him.

Amelia won’t allow herself and she can’t afford to get comfortable, she has been tortured by the hands of the enemy for too long. What she needs is to get stronger and then plan her escape. She will learn all he has to teach her, strive to be the best she can. Will the lies between them become too much? What happens when the bond between you is something it should not be? Can you find love with an enemy?

I enjoyed reading this book and loved the captivating supernatural world and characters that we faced in this series. It is a fast paced and action packed read that you should not miss.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Educate Him is the second book in the Highland Park Chronicles by Sydney Aaliyah Michelle and is as good as the first book Salvage Him. This book will have you hooked from the beginning and you won’t be able to put it down. You can read it as a standalone but I would definitely read the first book in the series to give you some background information on the series as a whole. You will find yourself lost in the world that Sydney has created where there is laughter and tears, frustration and hope. Trust me these men will curl your toes and leave you begging for more!

This story is centered around Davis and Julia. Julia has always been drawn to Davis, to her he has always been more than a family friend, more than her fathers best friend, more than the man who gave her comfort when her father passed away. Davis has a secret only those close to him know about, something that Julia knows nothing about. After years away she is back, Davis is now one of her professors but what he has to teach her can not be learned in a classroom.

Is Davis willing to teach her? Is Julia willing to learn Davis’s secret? Can they take the step where things may never be the same? Will Julia walk away when she knows? Will Davis let her go?

This series takes you for a look into the world of BDSM, where the men are alpha’s and hot and sexy but it is also a beautiful romance story, where age and lifestyles have no meaning when it comes to love. I can’t wait to see what Sydney has in store for us next.

World Tree Girl (Shadow Valley Manor #2)World Tree Girl by Kerry Schafer
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

World Tree Girl is the second book of The Shadow Valley Manor Series by Kerry Schafer. World Tree Girl continues from where the first book finished so I suggest you read Dead Before Dying first to understand to get the backstory of the characters. I really enjoy reading Kerry’s books she has just the right amount of intrigue, mystery and paranormal.

Maureen is an ex FBI investigator getting on with her life after being shot. And is trying to adjust to being the new owner of Shadow Valley Manor. When the local Sheriff brings a new case to Maureens door, she can’t help but jump at the chance to show that a local death is more than it seems. Along with the usual troops from the first book, you have a paranormal front seat along with the team as they unearth things you can only imagine. Will the team be in more danger than they realise? Will the team survive to find the truth.

Kerry has written a complex yet compelling plot that you don’t want to miss. This story is well written with lots of twists and turns and surprises. If you like crime, mystery and paranormal and the X files then you will enjoy this series.

The Case of the Invisible Souls (Jarvis Mann Detective #5) by R. Weir – Review by Jenni Bishop

The Case of the Invisible Souls (Jarvis Mann Detective #5)The Case of the Invisible Souls by R. Weir
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The Case of the Invisible Souls is the latest book in the Jarvis Mann short stories by R. Weir. This is a very short story about a Private Detective, Jarvis Mann, who has been asked to help a homeless vet find missing friends. What Jarvis finds is bigger than anyone thought possible but with Jarvis on the case no stone goes unturned. Weir focuses this story on the troubles, plights and lives of the homeless and in particular those of homeless vets. This short story definitely pack the punch when it highlights the poorly treated and often forgotten men and women who have fought for their country and have been left without the help they so desperately need. I would like to see Jarvis in a full length book but with this PI on the case together with his wit and charm, makes for a good read.

Breaking Away (Rocking Racers, #3)Breaking Away by Megan Lowe
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Breaking Away is the third book in the Rocking Racers series by Megan Lowe and it is every bit as good as the first two, if not better. You could read this book as a standalone but I recommend reading the previous books so you get the back stories of these characters. I love this series and the world of the gorgeous Ryan’s that Megan has created. Megan manages to captivate you from the beginning and holds you ensured as you go along for the ride with these hot and steamy rocking racers!

Mav Ryan feels like he is missing something in his life, despite being successful and on top of his game on the FMX circuits. He has followed in the footsteps of his family for so long he needs to do something for him but how does he tell his family without disappointing them? Will they understand his need for something more or will they turn their backs on him? Will he find the one thing he is looking for?

Aubrey James has been burned in the past and has decided not to let anyone close but when her brothers new best friend shows up, she starts to find it difficult to stay away. But will her brothers mistakes cause problems with the one thing she can no longer live without?

Megan’s characters are full of life and love, personality and fire, friends and family, fun and laughter. You will fall in love with these characters and the twists and turns she has delivered in the book will leave you wanting more. Megan has written a uniquely beautiful romance story that is a must read. I can not wait for the next installment of the Ryan clan.

Wild (Love in Lone Star #2) by Ashley Bostock – Review by Jenni Bishop

Wild (Love in Lone Star #2)Wild by Ashley Bostock
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Wild: A Small Town Romance is the second book in the Love in Lone Star by Ashley Bostock. I enjoyed the story but had mixed emotions about the main character, Thatcher. On one hand I wanted to smack some sense into the man for leaving a woman when she is pregnant with his child but on the other I understood that he had his issues and he thought he was doing the right thing. So aside from that Ashley writes well as evidenced by my emotions and it was nice to see Thatcher grow whilst discovering what a family could be and watching him build a relationship with his son. I stated in my review of Wet, the first book in this series, that I love stories that are written in the characters point of view, I find it adds depth and feeling to the characters and this one doesn’t disappoint.

This story is full of heartache and love, loneliness and sadness, anger and passion and most of all second chances. It is a story of letting go of the past and not being afraid of stepping into the future. It is a story about grabbing hold of what you want and not letting go. It is a fast paced story that will ensure you are engaged right until the end.

Virtue and Honor (Earthbound Angels #3) by Randi Perrin – Review by Jenni Bishop

Virtue and Honor (Earthbound Angels #3)Virtue and Honor by Randi Perrin
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Virtue and Honor is the third and sadly the last book in the Earthbound Angels series by this talented writer Randi Perrin. I am sad that the series is coming to an end, as I have thoroughly enjoyed reading about these wonderful earthbound angels in all three books. You must read each book in order or you will not understand the relationships between the characters. All the characters from the previous books are written into this one, although they do not have big parts but I love them just as much as I did when I read the first two books. Randi introduced us to two new characters, who were just as enjoyable to read about as they fight evil for a love that conquers all. Randi has a way of writing that draws you into this magical world she has created for us to enjoy.

In this book we see Angela who is destined for big things to come. She is an angel who must fight an evil that is set to destroy everything she knows. When she meets Mason, who is a sweet southern boy, she learns that family and true love, in the end, is all you need.

There will be laughter, love and a little sadness in this story but if you are looking for a good and fun read about angels then Virtue and Honor and this series is just what you need.

Angel Series Books #1-5Angel Series Books #1-5 by Tracy Lorraine
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The Angel Series is the first of four books by Tracy Lorraine in her Angel series. I liked the fact that they each flowed on from one another with the characters each interwoven throughout. I enjoyed Tracy’s writing style and the complexities and depth of the stories and the characters. I fell in love, laughed and cried with each and everyone of these characters as they took on a life of their own and walked with them through their heartbreaks and loss, love and acceptance. The range of emotions they feel you will feel right along with them and the twists and turns will have you glued to the end and then leave you wanting more. The Angel series is focused around four women, Molly, Abbi, Emma and Connie and their struggles, their losses and their loves. What they find is the one thing they each need but getting there is not always as easy as it should be or could be. What they need could be right in front of their faces. What they need could be their perfect fit. What they could have is their happily ever after.

Molly – When tragedy strikes best friends are found, what happens when feeling change and you find yourself falling in love with your best friend?

Abbi – When you have finally put the past behind and turned your life around, what happens when you come face to face with your hearts desires?

Emma – When you are still grieving from a loss so profound and insecurities, what happens when you find someone who thinks you are perfect?

Connie – When you have hidden your feelings your whole life, what happens when you make something so amazing?

Lilly (Angel, #3)Lilly by Tracy Lorraine
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Lilly is the third book in The Angel Series by Tracy Lorraine in her Angel series. Just like the other books in this series, I liked the fact that they each flowed on from one another with each of the other main characters interwoven throughout. I laughed and cried, feared and loved right along with Lilly, our main character in this book, as she suffered through so much, her heartbreak and loss hit hard. What she finds is the one thing she needs but getting there is not always as easy as it should be or could be. What she needs could be right in front of her face. What she needs could be her perfect fit. What she could have is her happily ever after. What happens when your Boss is not what he seems? What happens when the one you love rips your heart out? What happens when demons of the past haunt you? Can demons be left behind? What happens when love is all you need?

I really enjoy Tracy’s writing style and the beautiful and wonderful characters she creates and the amazing world that she brings to life. Make sure you read the other books in the series before this one. You will not be disappointed in this new book in the Angel series, so sit back, relax and enjoy. I can’t wait to see what Tracy has in store for us with future books.

The Cowboy’s Socialite by Carmen Falcone – Review by Jenni Bishop

The Cowboy's SocialiteThe Cowboy’s Socialite by Carmen Falcone
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The Cowboy’s Socialite by Carmen Falcone is a standalone book and the first book I have read by this author. This story is a romance about having a second chance with the one you love. There is a lot of off the charts chemistry between the characters that starts with regrets and hatred and ends with love and laughter. The world in which Carmen has created is easily believable and you can picture these two as more than just a story. I love the way they relate to one another but both have pretty big egos that neither can put aside.

When tragedy strikes there is not enough there to keep them together, they are torn apart. Now Lola is back and both must face old wounds. Get ready for an explosive battle of wills and find out who will be left standing for the battle of Red Oak Ranch. Grab a cool drink and settle in because when these two collide the fireworks go off and things are set to sizzle.

It is snarky and steamy, funny and sexy with a little sadnessness, but one good read.

Crashed (Casper’s Ghost) by Kerri Ann – Review by Jenni Bishop

Crashed (Casper's Ghost)Crashed by Kerri Ann
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Crashed is the first book in the Casper’s Ghost series by Kerri Ann. This is my first book by Kerri Ann and I can’t wait to read the next book in this series. This book is fast paced and will have you hooked. It is riveting and is full of so much drama that it will keep you turning pages. I found myself tensing up more and more as I got into the story and found connections with the characters as my heart went out to them as they were all struggling with the roles they found within their family dynamics. There are tears and tantrums and heart stopping moments that Kerri has written beautifully.

The Crown family are a famous sporting family. Wyatt races bikes for a living and finds himself struggling with his dark and twisted ways of his life on a daily basis. He loves his family but his Mother is a real piece of work. What he comes to realise is that his Mother and himself are more alike than either one of them want to admit. The interaction between the family with their Mother is certainly explosive and volatile. You will feel yourself cringing whenever they have to deal with her.

Circe works in the world of television and when she meets Wyatt the sparks certainly fly in more than one way. What she finds with this man is more than either of them thought possible.

There are definitely hot, sexy and explosive scenes that will have your heart racing. I cannot wait to read the second book in the series.
