Brink of Denial (Sons of Sindicato #1)Brink of Denial by Cam Johns
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Brink of Denial By Cam Johns and Sonya Jesus had me totally hooked from start to finish. I have never given my family so many death stares for interrupting me while I was reading!!

This story brings us Dane Giordano, a very strong, intense man, with a wounded heart who is being shaped into the next boss for the Sindicato. Years ago he thought he had everything all planned out. He had Milana Lombardi, his very own Mafia princess that he planned to marry and together they would have it all! She had other plans though. Milana leaves to find her own life in the world of modelling and becomes Mila Blanc. She trades independence from mafia ties for the constraints put on her by her career. During all this though she never truly gets over Dane and has always believed that when she is done with her current contract she will return and once again have him for her very own.

Can Dane truly allow his VERY wounded heart to heal enough to accept her back into his life forever? Can Milana fully accept what being back in the Sindicato will mean?? With others conspiring against them both in different ways can they once and for all find true happiness in this intense world? You absolutely have to read this book…you need to know these wonderful characters and this thrilling story.

Ms Johns and Ms Jesus are truly amazing authors creating characters with so much depth and heart that with every step of their journey you are right there with them. I wanted to jump into these pages and protect them all!

Bound by Secrets (Deadly Isles Special Ops, #2)Bound by Secrets by Amy McKinley
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Bound by Secrets is the second book in the Deadly Isles Special Ops series by Amy McKinley and it is another fantastic book from this wonderful Author. I highly recommend reading this series in order as there are elements to the story line that need the grounding start of the first book.

This time we follow Jaxon Hale, an ex navy seal who is helping out with the police department after leaving the navy and Kayla Kane, a book reviewer and freelance writer on the run from an abusive ex-boyfriend. Jaxon and Kayla were once friends and lovers as teens but heartbreak came their way completely changing everything for them. They still care very deeply for each other but the big question is Can they work past their shared heartbreak and come together even better than before while danger builds around them?

Jaxon and Kayla are wonderful characters full of heart. I hope you enjoy their story as much as I did. I can’t wait to read the next book in this amazing action packed, heartfelt series!

Courage of UsCourage of Us by Brooke May
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Courage of Us is the story of Patience and Duke, teenage best friends, who both want to be more but as most teenagers do, they don’t communicate that to each other and life takes them on different paths.
Fast forward a few years, Duke returns to town after years away in the Marines and is trying to find his way in civilian life again. He is determined that Patience is going to be a big part of that. He wants her back in his life! Patience however, is also trying to find her way in the world after a bad and emotionally abusive marriage. So the big question becomes can they find their way to each other and finally be together they way they should have been all these years??? or is the pain of the past too much for both of them to make it possible.

Courage of Us by Brooke May is a wonderful read by a very talented and creative author. Her characters have heart and depth. I am really hoping that there will be more books to follow and soon. Please tell me Ms May that Chase, Holt, Decker and Ryder are going to get stories too?

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

OMG please give me more!

Twisted Secrets (Deadly Isles Special Ops #1) By Amy McKinley is a brilliant read from start to finish. I was captivated and held on the edge of my seat the whole time. I had my suspicions about one particular character but the amazing Ms McKinley had me double guessing myself the whole time. Nothing in this suspense filled, drama packed novel is what you will expect.

In Twisted Secrets we meet the beautiful but tormented Riley and super gorgeous Navy Seal Xander. You will instantly fall in love with these wonderful characters who are full of heart and depth. You will become engrossed in their story and won’t want to put the book down.

Ms McKinley and her Deadly Isles Special Ops series definitely has a new fan in me. do yourself a huge favour and read it!

Sons of Sindicato (Sons of Sindicato #0)Sons of Sindicato by Cam Johns
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Sons of Sindicato by Cam Johns and Sonya Jesus brings us into an intense world filled with wonderful, strong characters and creates an interesting foundation for what I think is going to be an amazing series.
In this peak into the mafia world of the Sindicato we meet Seth, the son of the head of the Sindicato, and Braelynn (also known as Shaw), a young strong lawyer who after defending Seth has fallen for the powerfully intense and of course extremely hot man.
After months of seeing each other secretly events bring their relationship out into the open and force them to face up to weather they are a couple meant to last or if pressures around them will be too much to bear.
This is definitely a very exciting first step into this series and i personally can’t wait to read more!!! please keep them coming!!!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Can i go to SASY please?? After reading this super fun book I so wish I had supernatural powers and went to Southland Academy.

Southland Academy for Supernatural Youth by Sandra Tentler and Brooke Tentler is such a fun read with sweet, Charismatic characters. The story follows a group of young supernatural students who become great friends while learning about themselves and their supernatural abilities.
The story is full of heart and shows us that acceptance and being true to our “real” selves is achievable. The authors have done this in a light hearted fun filled way that doesn’t dampen the readers spirit. I say bring on more Southland Academy adventures.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

WOW WOW WOW!!! I am so hooked on this series!!

Relentless by the wonderful Via Mari had me hooked from the very start and kept me captivated until the very last word. I was literally on the edge of my seat towards the conclusion of the book. Part of the story does run along side the previous book in the series so I found it very beneficial that I had read the previous book. My recommendation would be to start this series from the very beginning not just because the characters story lines will flow better for you but because its so AWESOME and you don’t want to miss anything!!

Relentless Brings us the story of Layla, a very strong willed determined woman, hiding a genuine soft tender side, who is looking for her sister and the man who killed her cousin. Along comes the Super hot, determined and VERY dominant Dereck. He wants to protect her and be with her but knows she is hiding things from him. Lies is one thing he does not tolerate but at the same time he knows trust must be earnt, he just hopes he can earn her trust before its too late.

Do yourself a huge favour and grab a copy of Relentless today!! you wont be disappointed

On Viking Seas (Forerunner Series)On Viking Seas by Jay Veloso Batista
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

On Viking Seas from the Forerunner series By Jay Veloso Batista is a vivid, creative and well written novel by a truly talented Author. Every step of the story that the Author takes us on is carefully crafted to make us feel like we are truly IN the story with the characters. The story is told from various characters points of view which I think adds to the readers connectivity with the story.

I do feel however, that my experience would have definitely been further enhanced had I read the previous books in the series. So I suggest if you love well written characters and an action packed story told and therefore experienced from multiple points of view then this wonderful novel and series is definitely for you! Do yourself a favour and start at the beginning!

Alpha Bet Guys Boxed Set by Phoebe Alexander – Review by Jules Herbert

Alpha Bet Guys Boxed SetAlpha Bet Guys Boxed Set by Phoebe Alexander
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The Alpha Bet guys Boxed set by Phoebe Alexander, well what can i say but you really have to read this fantastic collection of Fun, witty and heart warming stories. I mean who doesn’t like reading about gorgeous Alpha males and the women they meet who show them they might be alpha but love wins out in the end. Each story contains a bet between the group of five friends. i know, Men right? they will bet on anything and i mean anything.

A Hole…. funny guy Ace connects with beautiful bank teller Ella, who at the beginning thinks she just might help his friends to win their bet against him. With a some fun twists and turns along the way I wonder who really wins this bet.

The Big O…. Nerdy (and probably my fav, I mean who doesn’t love a sexy Nerd) Ozzy falls for equally Nerdy Hazel. Sweet Ozzy vows to help gorgeous Hazel with something very special but can he do that and keep his friends off his back about the bet they made with him.

Need the D…. Dante and Julia… this felt like an Alpha meets Alpha story to me at first but then we are shown the true softer sides of both Dante and Julia… this story takes a very unexpected turn for our leading man Dante, who gets a little mixed up about his bet…or is it a bet at all? you will have to read this fab story to find out!!

Hard F….. Fox and Jenna….Oh this was the story i was waiting for… Fox is most often the one to start all the bets so to see him finally get a bet put before him was a treat! Is Fox capable of learning more about what “real” life is about? I must admit though I started this story wanting to see him get his butt kicked but it didn’t take long for Ms Alexander to have me totally on team Fox for the win! I fell for Fox and His Sweet Jenna… i wanted their story to have a happy ending. To me that is one of the signs of a good writer when you can change someones opinion of a character.

Ride the C…. Cruz and Mia…the world of fashion and models can be so superficial and in this heart warming story you get to see the untold side of this so called glamorous lifestyle through the eyes and hearts of two characters who are at a point in their journeys where they need to make decisions…can they make them together though is the big question?

The SEAL's Temptation (Wounded Hearts #7)The SEAL’s Temptation by Jacquie Biggar
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The SEAL’S Temptation …Wounded Hearts book #7 was filled with emotion, drama, action, loyalty and heart. While i think my experience with the book was hampered a little by the fact I started the series on book #7…how silly am i?…i really think you would love the series if you start from the very beginning and have all the background on the characters. I have learnt my lesson and that’s what i will be doing now!
Ms Biggar gave us great characters and i loved their bond and connection. You doesn’t love some gorgeous navy seals with a strong depth of character, huge hearts and loyalty no one can break.

The Executive's Decision (Keller Family, #1)The Executive’s Decision by Bernadette Marie
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The Executive’s Decision By Bernadette Marie had me captivated from the very first paragraph.
You just knew that someone having that bad a start to their day had to have more interesting things coming her way.
The leading lady of this novel is Regan, a young beautiful woman who has gone through hell and survived, who now just wants a fresh start and a chance at a happy life. First step, New job but with that new job comes her Boss Zachary Benson. A “Hottie” according to his former assistant and a man who soon knows what he wants…Regan!
She has VERY good reason for NOT wanting to Date her Boss so the question in your mind quickly becomes ..can Zach convince her he is not anything like her past and that he truly loves her no matter what! No path to true love is ever smooth and they have obstacles to pass. I was on Zachs side the whole way wishing Regan could see his genuine love for her and let go of the demons from her past to be with him.
Not only do you fall for Zach and Regan, reading as quickly as you can to see what will happen, but the other characters around them also draw you in and i personally can not wait for more in this series!
Thank you Bernadette Marie for these wonderful heartfelt characters and all the sleepless nights i see in my future continuing to read the rest of this series…i just can’t wait!

Auctioned (Billionaire Bodyguards, #3)Auctioned by Via Mari
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

WOW What a fantastic read…i was on the edge of my seat the whole time and just could not put it down!

The leading lady of this story , Bryanna, is dragged into a dangerous and volatile situation in order to protect her family who she cares very deeply about. Along comes seriously dominant and deadly gorgeous Damian to find and rescue her. This is so not in her plans when she has her family to protect. Immediately Damian is not only wanting to protect Bryanna for the sake of his job but also because of his instant attraction to her. Bryannas very obvious submissive side calls to her brave protector.

i think the fact that there were times when i wanted to bop the main characters Damian and Bryanna up side the head for not just talking to each other, shows how creatively the wonderful Author Via Mari formed her characters to make us care about them. They have heart and depth that just makes you want to keep reading. The book presents both characters sides of the story all the way through giving us much better insight into the various situations that come along.

you will walk away from this book with a happy, full heart and begging for more.

Daisy's Darkness (Wheels & Hogs #6)Daisy’s Darkness by D.M. Earl
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Daisy’s Darkness By D.M Earl is book #6 in the Wheels and Hogs Series. This Story pulled at my heart strings from the very start. I have two daughters who have struggled with anxiety and depression so this book really hit home for me.
It brings valuable awareness to topics which are often felt to be difficult to discuss…Eating Disorders, Bullying and cutting which effect many world wide. I applaud the Author for presenting these topics in a meaningful and heartfelt way.
It is mostly written from Daisys point of view with some parts from characters such as Jagger, Daisys big brother and Griffin a friend who may just end up being more some day and many more important people in Daisys life.
This is a must read
