My rating: 5 of 5 stars

With this book being written by so many authors I wasn’t sure what to expect (I have read collaborations like this before and was so disappointed) BUT I have to say to put it very simply I LOVED this book and I can’t wait for more!!! I mean how could I not love a steamy supernatural fantasy that captivates and holds your heart right from the very start. Callum and Aeris truly had me hooked as soon as I met each of them on the page. This truly is a fantastic start to what I know is going to be an amazing series.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This book is truly filled with so many emotions! Jamie and Laramee are wonderful characters that you will be drawn too and you will be hoping to see them have a happy ending. I know I was hoping for it with every page I turned. They have a difficult road ahead of them though as both have things from their past to deal with and people from their past getting in the way as well. This is a wonderfully written story that I know you will enjoy.

Stars in the CityStars in the City by Krysten Lindsay Hager
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is a great YA Romance with relatable characters even though their daily life is very different to that of most of the books readers. It shows young actors trying to navigate work, life and love while also showing the pitfalls of being famous and how things truly aren’t always as they seem. I look forward to reading more of this series. I really want to see what is in store for some of the other characters.

Finders Keepers, Cowboy (Match Made in Montana Series) by Rachelle Paige Campbell Review by Jules Herbert

Finders Keepers, Cowboy (Match Made in Montana #1)Finders Keepers, Cowboy by Rachelle Paige Campbell
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

I must admit that it took me a little while to get into this book because the animosity, I think that is the word I am looking for, that Ryan had towards Meg confused me a bit. Of course the further I got into the book and the more I learned about both characters the more I settled into the possibility for a relationship between them and found myself hoping for exactly that! However Hank, I definitely had a soft spot for straight away. This author is a very talented writer and presents her readers with a great wholesome romance that should be read and enjoyed especially if you love cowboys and western/small town themes.

Wow talk about hooked! I just couldn’t put this one down. Dallas and June are fiery characters that draw you straight into the story right from the very start.

This is the third book in the series but you could absolutely read it as a standalone if you really wanted too. I have to say though that I did love the other books of the series to so give them a go too!

Managing Mischief (Shattered Embrace #2)Managing Mischief by Alyndra Quinn
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Zachary and Ashton are back in this 2nd book of the Shattered Embrace Series and I am loving it. It brings you further into their exploration of their developing relationship and the world of D/s. I have truly come to love these characters so I really enjoyed reading more about them. During this book we also learn more about Zachery. Now, yes you could just start here with this book and I think you’d still follow the storyline ok BUT I highly recommend starting the series at the beginning with Book 1 to fully enjoy all that happens and these wonderful characters. You will not regret even for a second reading as much as you can by this very talented author.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Jinx and Logan have had an attraction and connection for many years that neither acted upon especially when years ago Logan became off limits, as far as her family is concerned. When they meet again at a wedding that pull of their connection draws them in like never before. I truly loved these characters and the storyline that flowed effortlessly through this wonderful book. I was captivated from start to finish!
While this is book 9 in this series, you can absolutely 100% read it and thoroughly enjoy it even if you haven’t read any of the others. I do recommend checking out the others though because it really is a great series by a talented author.

Where do I start! This was such a fun read, filled with wonderful characters, interesting storylines and just enough twists and turns to keep you completely hooked and turning page after page.

The Complete Echo Series (Echo #1-4)The Complete Echo Series by C.R. Alam
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

What a fantastic book by a truly wonderfully talented author. I really enjoyed following Rae and Dean as these two remarkably strong willed and determined characters fell for each other while fighting against past hurts that they believed not only formed them but also protected them. This book is a really great read with wonderful characters, both main and side characters are well developed, vivid writing that enables you to completely envision the world they live in and a creative storyline to keep you reading page after page! It’s a fantastic start to what I am sure will be a fabulous series! Bring on the next book I say!!

The story of Callie and Brandon had me hooked right from the start and I simply couldn’t put it down until the end. This truly talented author created amazing characters full of heart and weaved a captivating, relatable storyline that the reader can fully visualise while reading. Important issues were addressed with such great care. I totally fell for Brandon in the first book of this series and this book just cemented that even further.

This very talented author creates such amazing characters and storylines filled with so much heart! I was instantly in love and was completely invested in the story of Rowan and Chris right from the start. Having met Chris a little in the previous books in this wonderful series I knew his story was going to be a great read and it definitely was that and so much more! Now if you haven’t read the previous books you will still follow the storyline and enjoy it wholeheartedly but I HIGHLY recommend reading the entire series simply because the people and places created in these pages will burrow into your heart to stay and you don’t want to miss out on that.

Book 4 brings us the story of Lina and Curtis and I just know you will be hooked from start to finish just like I was. We also get to touch base with characters from previous books which I really think adds depth to a series. There is always something happening with steamy moments thrown in so if Romantic suspense is your favourite read then this book is for you.

I truly Love the Echo Series and found myself getting more and more hooked with every book I read. This talented author always brings to life her characters in such compelling and relatable ways that you just won’t be able to put the books down!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Having read the first book in this series and being unable to put it down, I knew as soon as I saw this I just had to read it. My excitement was completely justified because this was yet another extremely well written and creative storyline that I truly could not put down unless I was forced too. Damn my family insisting on eating LOL. Filled with so much drama, danger, mystery, murder and lies just to name a few things, this really is a book you don’t want to miss. I know I have said this about this authors writing before but this story truly comes to life in your minds eye as you read it, thanks to such vivid descriptions, that truly make you feel like you are really there.

I absolutely Love this series and I’m kind of sad we are at the end.

This is a great first book and series start. Ashton is shy in her personal life ( I find her quite strong when it comes to her job) with a hidden sassy side while Zachary is dominant, possessive and completely wants her! Quite opposite in many ways their attraction and relationship slowly comes together for them and will keep you the reader captivated. Filled with great characters this is a great read and I can’t wait to see what is next for them both.

At its core I really feel this book is about finding love and acceptance to be exactly who you are and living the life you want to live. Who doesn’t want that right? My favourite characters were definitely Lachlan and Molly, who were wonderful characters that I enjoyed getting to know all while learning a little bit about Polycules which was a new term for me. Proving “families” come in all forms this was a good read.
