My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Wow where do I find the right words to review this book! I know that no matter what I say I won’t do it or the author the justice they truly deserve! I made the mistake of starting with book 2 so I will be going back to the beginning and starting again. Don’t get me wrong if like me you started with this book your enjoyment will in no way be hindered by that but let’s face it when something is so amazing why wouldn’t you make sure to read everything possible to truly enhance the experience.
The Authors creative storyline with plenty of twists and turns, descriptive detailed writing, wonderful characters and intriguing combination of Ancient History, Mythology and Fantasy 100% keeps you captivated from start to finish. Personally I simply can’t wait for more. I need more Evan!!!!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Sleep is over rated right?? At least that’s what I am telling myself after basically staying up pretty much all night, well until 4.30am, reading this incredible book because I just couldn’t put it down. I kept telling myself just a bit more then I’ll finish it tommorrow but the more I read the more hooked I became and I just couldn’t do it. This is the very first book by this amazing author that I have read and I can tell you right now it definitely won’t be my last! The descriptive text and the imagery it created in my mind truly goes to show what a talented writer the author truly is.
I loved the characters Raine and Will….I mean who wouldn’t love such a total kick arse character as Raine…the chemistry or connection may be a better word between the two ( I am not sure exactly how to put it) and watching it develop is just one of so many elements that kept me reading. You absolutely 100% need to start this series now!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I was hooked on every word right from the very start and I didn’t want to put the book down! I loved the characters who drew into my heart right from the very start. Reading all that both Adrik and Annika had been through was very emotional but also showed us that you can persevere through anything and come out stronger. In some ways both characters see themselves defined by what they see as their flaws but at the same time try help each other to realise that to be untrue. When danger comes after Annika yet again Adrik is the only one who can save her and he will do absolutely anything to do just that!
This is the 5th book in this series and the first one that I have read. I had no problem reading it and fully enjoying it as it does read easily as a stand alone however I will now be going back and reading all the previous books for the series as I am completely intrigued now to find out the full stories for all the other characters mentioned in this book. I just know they will be great too!

This book is a wonderfully written very descriptive story by an obviously talented author. It will keep you captivated from start to finish and is filled with such vivid imagery you truly will feel as if you are there seeing and experiencing everything right along with the characters. Speaking of characters, Emma is such a strong young woman and although she is a fictitious character she may well inspire you with her strength. This is the first book I have read by this fantastic author and I know it definitely will not be the last.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Immediately on starting this book my heart went out to Carina and stayed fully engaged until the very last word. She suffers so much loss and hardship, including battling Covid herself, in such a short period of time. After coming through all that she is a little lost and unsure of her place in this new world of ours filled with Covid and face masks and she worries constantly about her family. Carina is such a wonderfully written and totally relatable character. I love her friendship with Max, a young man she strikes up a friendship with that she meets in a grief group who has lost his wife to cancer. This book will bring out so many emotions and keep you captivated from start to finish all while reminding you of the very needed joy of the Christmas spirit. It’s an absolutely wonderful holiday read.

Within the very first few pages this wonderful book had me hooked and Teddy had my heart engaged. After being given a very harsh sentence and jailed for something he didn’t do Teddy is finally home and trying to gain his life back. He just wants to serve his probationary period and get on with his life but of course not everyone feels that way so the path doesn’t run smoothly. Then of course there is Robyn the girl he left behind but has never ever forgotten ..can they truly have a second chance at love?
I just love everything about this book, the Bennett’s are a wonderful family, the setting perfect and this author is so talented and writes such creative storylines you won’t want to put this book down. Oh and there is just enough steam to make life interesting LOL! I loved the start to this series and can’t wait for more.

Wow just WOW!! This is the first book I have read by this wonderful author but I know it definitely will not be my last. I started with the 3rd book of this series and I thoroughly enjoyed it BUT I will be back tracking to read the first 2 books and then reading this again because apart from the enjoyment of reading them all I am sure it will further enhance the series for me. I mean a Great Mystery and Ancient Egypt who could resist that!
This book truly has it all happening, tomb raids and a plague just to name a couple things. With loads of twists and turns along the way creating an intriguing storyline, this is a page turner from start to finish that you simply do not want to miss! I loved the characters, the storyline and the way this amazing author had my imagination firing with every word.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Wow what an amazing heartfelt read. I truly was captivated by the storyline and the characters right from the very start and it held me that way right until the very last word. Austin and Casey (especially Austin) immediately found a place in my heart and will stay there for a very long time. They are completely relatable characters and you feel every emotion they do. I loved their cute text message banter at the start. I know it’s a small thing to remember and point out about a book but it really had me hoping they would find their way to each other right from the start.
This is the second book I have read by this very talented author and I can honestly say she has a fan for life in me! I can’t wait for book 3 of this amazing trilogy!!

Juliet is a woman very passionate about her job as a teacher who while teaching a class about Romeo and Juliet meets an older student James (Jim) who is as good looking as he is infuriating! He is extremely attracted to her and is determined to break down the walls surrounding her heart to prove he can be the man for her. I will be completely honest with you and say that when I first starting reading this book I wasn’t sure 100% sure about these characters especially Jim and it took me a little while to connect with them but I am very happy that I kept reading! As I read more and more, the characters and storyline developed and so did my enjoyment of this book!

What a fun read! Emily and Max are such fun and quirky characters who you fall for straight away. Emily convinces her best friend Ruby to go on the cruise she had booked for her honeymoon after Ruby is left at the altar. They meet Max, a fill in cruise photographer and the fun begins. I loved how the author had the male character show an insecure side as well as Emily. I also thought Emily’s knack for getting lost in her thoughts and spacing out from time to time was super cute. All the characters were completely relatable and this wonderful, talented author weaved a funny, creative story for us all to enjoy.

This super talented author just keeps weaving completely captivating stories time after time. The 3rd book in this fantastic series sees Jude and Sienna come to together during very emotional and action packed times. There is a very important part to the storyline that has been building during the first two books of the series that comes to a very happy conclusion but I don’t want to say too much as it will give too many spoilers away. All I can really say is please do yourself a favour and get reading this amazing series!!! I can’t wait to read the next book, actually I am off to start it now!! LOL

What could possibly go wrong when a journalist on the verge of losing her job who needs a big story to save her career meets a super hot MMA fighter with a secret he wants kept under wraps. You need to read this great book to find out! Kendall and Chad have a connection right from the start, even if neither of them want to admit it, that only gets harder to resist the more they get to know each other. With Chad wanting his true identity kept secret, Kendall’s job definitely throws a spanner in the works but this creative author weaves a fabulous story for us all as we follow these wonderful characters through some very interesting times.

It can be read as a stand alone but I recommend reading the series from the start simply because it is that damn good! You really don’t want to miss a thing. This book brings Dominic, the Master of the Lodge and Gemma, a journalist, together and to say it is fiery is an understatement! Their chemistry is off the charts!! They are both Alphas really and that makes for interesting reading for sure! As I have said before, there is a very fascinating storyline threaded through this book that I believe threads through the entire series and I can’t wait to see where it will take us.

The main character in this wonderful book, Olivia, is a prime example that when times are tough you should never give up! So, so much happens in the life of this talented chef ( I am not going to say too much and give it all away…you need to read the book!) but with the support of her best friend Taylor and some other amazing people she meets along the way, she makes it through to forge a brand new life. Of course no path in life ever runs completely smooth now does it? Her manipulating Ex and her Mother who at first I really couldn’t stand but later came to realise truly loves her daughter, definitely try hard to complicate her life.
