Cruel Hate is the 5th book in the Hidden Valley Elite series by Isla Vaughn and the 2nd book in Aspen and Phoenix’s story, talk about a cliffhanger!! I need to know what is going to happen next! Aspen is coming to terms with being pregnant by the campus hero and Phoenix is struggling with every aspect of college life, keeping up with school, football, family and now becoming a father. When it all gets a bit too much Phoenix makes some life-changing decisions. I have loved this series so far, I cannot wait for the next installment to find out what happens.

Cruel King by K.M Scott is a wonderful second chance romance. Ava has been best friends with Theo King for her whole life. Living on the family estate as her dad is employed by the Kings she has been around the family for as along as she can remember, when she unexpectedly finds a connection with the eldest King brother over a snowed in weekend she thinks things are finally changing. That is until she is ripped away from all she knows. When she returns 5 years later everything has changed, most notably her relationship with her best friend but more so with his eldest brother, who is not as happy to see her return. I really enjoyed this story, it was enraged at times as the main characters were misled by those around them but in a good way. I felt that some parts felt a bit rushed but overall found this to be a very enjoyable read.

Guarding the crease by G.K Brady is the 9th book in the Playmakers series, this is the first book I have read in this series but I will be going back to read the others as I really enjoyed this one. The story follows notorious hockey playboy Wyatt as he tries to make a comeback into his old team, and Serena, a PR professional who was previously responsible for cleaning up Wyatt’s messes. When Wyatt helps her out of a sticky situation and asks for a favour in return, the two end up developing an odd friendship. I really liked this book, I found the two main characters to be likable and felt myself wanting them to have a happy ending, I also hated a few of the supporting characters (in a good way) such as Wyatts mum and Serena’s slimy assistant that I found myself getting really engrossed into their predicaments. I hope that there are further books in this series so I can see them get their comeuppance.

Heavy Shot is the seventh book in the Nashville Assassins series by Toni Aleo. I had actually never heard of this series before, and this is the first book I have read by this author. I really enjoyed this story, I read it in one sitting and found it thoroughly entertaining. The story follows Austen, a young woman with a tragic past who is currently trying to learn all she can about hockey to take over her grandfather’s new business, and Dimitri, the Russian stallion. When the two unexpectedly get pushed into the others personal space they both help each other see that there is more to life than what they have had so far. I loved these characters; they are so genuine. I started getting the rage at Austens grandfather though. I love it when a book makes me emotional. I would recommend this book to romance lovers. The only thing I would ask/change is for there to be a breakdown somewhere of who everyone is related to and how. As a newcomer to the series there was a lot of names all at once and it took a bit of time to work out how each person fitted in, however, in saying that I will be going back to the start to read this series.

Tequila Midnight is the first book in the Southwest Suspense series by Kathryn Dodson. I really enjoyed this book, it has a lot of what I look for in a good read, there was a mystery, suspense and a good romance (I want to find myself an Angus!). The story follows the main character Jessica as she gets roped into working for a Mexican criminal to find his missing daughter, however it seems like it may be more difficult than she thought. Throughout this, she is also trying to deal with her own issues, reeling from her parents abandoning her, Jessica tries to use her own kind of therapy to cope with her pain. I found this book engaging and didn’t want to put it down. I think this is a positive start to what will be a great series and I want to read more.

This is a little gem of a series, Cruel Start is the next book in the Hidden Valley Elite series by Isla Vaughn. This book is the start of Phoenix and Aspens story. When they accidentally bump into each other after new girl in town, Aspen, is cliff diving at a local party spot, the two have instant chemistry. However, despite their attraction, Phoenix has a strict one night only policy which means he pushes Aspen away. When their one night together leads to an unexpected surprise, time will tell if they can get over their issues and work it out. I am really enjoying this series and each books is better than the last. I am looking forward to reading the next book in the series to see how the couple’s story pans out.

Brutal Nights is the next book in the Hidden Valley Elite series by Isla Vaughn, this book carries on from Brutal Days, which needs to be read first or it will make no sense. At the end of the last book Damon and Skylar’s relationship was discovered by her mum and best friend. This instalment follows the two characters in the aftermath of this, trying to work out what their next steps are while also navigating the complexity of high school friendships (and mean girls) while also dealing with an unwanted visitor from the past. I am really enjoying this series, looking forward to the next book already!

Someone to watch over me, is the third book in the Wounded Hearts Series by Debbie Cormack. This is the first book I have read in this series and it can be read as a standalone. This story focuses on best friends Angelo and Lucia, brough up together since they were little, Angelo is very protective of Lucia. She thinks it is because he sees her as a little sister, however that is very far from the truth. Angelo and Lucia are both in love with each other however neither seems ready to admit it to the other. After Angelo leaves college there is a period of absence which does not dampen their feelings, and when an unexpected event brings them back to gather it is fingers crossed that they can work it out. I liked this book, I wanted to knock their heads together a few times and wanted Lucia to be more selfish but this is testament to how well written it was. I will definitely be going back to read the other books in the series.

Brutal Days is the third book in the Hidden Valley Elite series by Isla Vaughn, this story follows on from the previous books in the series but focuses on Damon and Skylar. Skylar makes a deal with the devil (or Demon) to help her best friend achieve her senior year goals, this ends up putting her on Damon’s radar and she can’t seem to stay away from him, not matter how hard she tries. I really liked this book, I was very disappointed that I have to wait a couple of weeks until the next one comes out! I need to know what is going to happen right now, it is definitely on my wish list. I knew from the start that the ending, or something similar, was going to happen but I really need to know how it is going to play out. I really liked the characters in this book, Damon showing his softer side and Sky calling him out on his behaviour, I am keeping my fingers cross that they can get a happy ending in the next book. I am really enjoying this series.

Cecily in the City is the third book in the Cecily Taylor series by Krysten Lindsay Hager. This story follows Cecily as she continues to try and pursue her career as an actress and navigate her relationship with her famous boyfriend however this time, after a series of unexpected events, she finds herself navigating the complexity of show biz life in New York City. I really enjoyed this book however there were times when it made me so frustrated, I really wanted to knock the characters heads together, however this is a sign of good writing as it made me so emotional. Cecily is a lovable character however I am so pleased to see her growing as an adult. I found that I really wanted to know more when I got to the end of this book, especially the comeuppance of a certain character. I would recommend this to readers who are looking for a sweet young adult story with likable main characters and wonderful supporting ones. Looking forward to the next instalment.

Savage Truth is the 2nd book in the Hidden Valley Elite series by Isla Vaughn. I am really enjoying this series so far. This story carries on from book one, where Riley and her mum have moved in with Cole and his family. The tension between Cole and Riley is palpable, they are struggling to stay away from each other but hating each other at the same time. I really enjoyed the tension between the two main characters while they were in public but the truce in the quiet hours which leads them to get to know each other better. I also really enjoyed the suspense of what Riley and her mum are hiding from. I think this was a great enemies to lovers romance. Looking forward to the next book in the series.

Breach of Trust is the 8th book in the Madeline Dawkins series by Cynthia Hamilton and it does not disappoint. I have really enjoyed all the books in this series so far, the author consistently comes up with engaging and enjoyable stories. In this book the team at MDPI have 3 cases on the go; a messy divorce with an abusive husband, who reminds Madeline a lot of her own experiences; a missing daughter who had left to join a cult; and a poison pen who is terrorising the residents of the facility where Madeline’s father, Mack, has moved into. I love how the suspense builds throughout the book and that each story gets its fair share of attention. A definite page turner.

Doctor Frank Enstein by C.A. King is part of the Doctors of Eastport General collaboration series. I found this to be a really fun short read. When Frank decides to change his career path from cosmetic surgery to leading the burn clinic at Eastport General, he makes the decision to be dedicated to his path with no distractions. When he is accidentally rude to barmaid Barbara, he begins to rethink his choices. This was a very enjoyable book, I wish it was longer as there are so many other interesting characters and relationships within the hospital staff, this has definitely encouraged me to read some of the other titles in the series.

Exposed is the third book in The Descendants series by Lea Cherry. I would highly recommend reading the other books in the series first as it does not work as a standalone. Amy is struggling with the recent events that have uprooted her life. Her mother, who she thought was dead is back but she is unable to wake her. She is also struggling to come to terms with who she is and that everything she thought before was untrue. This books has a great cast of characters and the story keeps you hooked. This is a good paranormal fantasy series, this is the first series I have read by this author and I am looking forward to reading her other works.

Ale’s Fair in Love and War by Sylvie Stewart is a really fun enemies to lovers romance. Ever since opening her dog grooming salon next door to his brewery and tap house, Cash and Hollis have been at each others throats. They are constantly trying to one up each other and carry out more elaborate pranks. When a misunderstanding causes Cash’s livelihood to become endangered, Hollis feels guilty and is determined to help him resolve it. It is only a matter of time before the thin line between love and hate is crossed. I really enjoyed this book, I love Cash’s family (especially his mum and Mango) I think this is a really strong start to the series and I am looking forward to finding out more about the other siblings.

Savage Start is the prequel to the Hidden Valley Elite series by Isla Vaughn. This was a great short read to introduce the main characters and give a background to what I think will be a really interesting series (which is now on my to be read list!). The story introduces Riley, a young girl who has had an unusual upbringing moving around the country running cons with her mother, and Cole, one of the Elites of his school who has a tough time at home. When Riley and Cole bump into each other at a party sparks fly and they are unable to forget each other. This was a perfect intro to the new series.

I have read a few books by Anise Storm in the past so was really looking forward to this book and wasn’t disappointed. Her collaboration with Taylor L Ray was a success! The story follows Dominic, a successful self-made man, who is living in the shadows of his past after the disappearance of his girlfriend Juliana, and Whitney who apart from having an uncanny resemblance to Juliana, also has some hidden paranormal talents that she finds impacting on her life. This book was really enjoyable, there was a good mix of tension, mystery and steamy moments. I would highly recommend to lovers of a good romance.

Fear Inc: Volume 3 is a fantastic book by Melinda Valentine. This second chance /brother best friend romance follows Kasper and Krysta as the try to work out their feelings towards each other after a disastrous break up years previously while also trying to stay safe from external threats that are out to interfere. I found this to be a very enjoyable read, it had a likable group of characters, some very steamy moments and some suspense and excitement. My only complaint is I finished it too quickly! This is the first book of this series I have read however I will be going back to read the first 2 volumes in the series.
Handle with Care is the first book in the Chase Care series by R.L Dunn. I have read all of the previous series and loved them. I was not disappointed by this book. Hunter and Selma are deeply in love after getting a second chance with each other later in life. When Selma has a sudden surprise she flees to Africa as part of a relief effort but she is not aware of the danger she will be in. This is a fantastic book, fast paced, exciting and full of intrigue. I thoroughly enjoyed it and cannot wait until book 2 comes out. I recommend to fans of romantic suspense.

Love Tools is the first book in the Bluestone series by Isobel Reed. This is a lovely heart-warming romance that kind of makes you want to give up everything and go and live in a tiny town and open a shop! When Lily finds out that she has inherited her late father’s estate, that is exactly what she does. With nothing keeping her in London she takes over her father’s little hardware shop and tries to find out more about the man who abandoned her as a child. When Lily meets local rancher Jake, it is hardly love at first sight but when he sets his mind on things it is hard to put him off. This was a lovely romance, looking forward to book 2.

Degrees of Innocence is the first book in the Cruel Deceptions series by Via Mari, I found it a little confusing as it was described as a “dark mafia” romance and there is only one small mention of the mafia at the very end of the book, the content didn’t really match the description. However, it did have a good premise and I am assuming that the mafia connection is more prominent in the later books in the series. When Kate is sent to Aruba to head a week long planning retreat for her company she is not expecting to meet a charismatic stranger who makes her feel things she has never felt before. When it turns out that this stranger is also the CEO of the company she is there to meet she is torn between love and her career. When she then becomes the victim of a series of attempts on her life she is confused as to whether the attacks are random or something more sinister. I thought this book was ok, it didn’t have the mafia romance element I was looking for, but it did have a strong female lead and a domineering sexy billionaire.

Knight in the Museum (Jorja Knight Private Investigator Mystery Series Book) by Alice Bienia was a fun, fast paced mystery that was full of surprises. When private investigator Jorja Knight is asked by her old friend to look into the death of his old colleague, what initially seems like an open and shut suicide is quickly determined to be a lot more than it seemed. The more she digs into the mystery the more questions it brings up and the more dangerous the investigation becomes. This is a well written and enjoyable mystery with a cast of likable characters. This is the first book I have read in this series, but I will be going back and reading the other books by this author.

Defiant Princess is a prequel to the Mafia Elite series by Amy McKinley, it follows the sisters of the families prior to the events of the books in the main series. I really liked this story, even the sad parts. It was quite short though and I would have liked it to be longer (as I always do with this series as I am never ready for them to finish and want to know more!). It was really interesting to learn more about the events that are mentioned in the future books and I was screaming in my head to warn them about the traitor among them! I think this is a must read for fans of this series.

Petty’s Crime is the third book in the Satan’s Devils MC Las Vegas series. I really have enjoyed this series. This book does however touch on themes of domestic violence which may trigger some readers. The story follows Petty, who so far has been known for his brash nature in the MC. This book delves into his past as his (ex) wife Britney makes an unexpected return to his life. It also tells the story of RoseLyn, a Vegas singer who is being stalked by her abusive ex and needs the help of the MC. I loved how this story explores the theme of female against male DV, which is something that is rarely found especially in the masculine world of an MC. Highly recommend.

The Warrior is the third book in the Freemasons series by Nicole Flockton. Sienna has feelings for Jude however he is reluctant to open up to her as he has dedicated his life to looking for his sister Renee. When a sighting of Renee leads him to start looking for her in another country, Jude and his fellow ex-military friends need Sienna’s help to infiltrate the organisation that has her. This is a good read, the chemistry between the two main characters is there and you can feel the pain and panic while Sienna is undercover. It is quite fast paced which is nice and the story is intriguing. I would recommend.

This is a brilliant series and I highly recommend:
Savage Secrets is the 4th book of the series, I have read all the books in this series so far and have nothing but praise for them. In this book we finally meet the elusive Elena, who has been presumed dead for a number of years. When the threat that made her leave initially finds out that she is still alive, boss Marco is sent to retrieve her. When reunited the pair get to know each other again, without a pesky arranged marriage in the way. I really like how strong the female characters are in this series, Elena especially has her own very valuable skill set that she can use to protect those she loves.
Ruthless Heir – I think this was one of my favourites in the series so far. Each book in the series follows a member of one of the main 5 Chicago Mafia families and the nice difference in this book is that Luc doesn’t know he is part of the elite, through the mother he never knew he is the rightful heir to one of the 5 families. A successful businessman in his own right, he is surprised when he is forced to go to Chicago to discover his true heritage, taking his reluctant assistant Summer along with him. Summer is on the run from her past and doesn’t want to get involved with anything to do with the mafia but finds protection in the strangest of situations. I really liked this book, there is lots of action, strong female characters and interesting storylines.
Collateral Damage – In this book Dr Trey La Rosa is tasked with finding the kidnapped stepdaughter of a colleague, but it is not as straight forward as it may seem at first. Trey and Hailey need to work together to find out her stepfathers true intentions. I liked this book but feel it was a bit short, I would have loved more!
Rivals – This book is the story of Nico and Mia. Mia, after escaping from the clutches of her twisted family tracks down Nico for help and in return she will give him the information that he needs to take down her family. I really enjoyed this book, I loved the dynamic between the two main characters but the main thing I really like is how the men in these stories treat the women as equals, fighting side by side rather than being left at home while the guys do all the fighting. The female characters really make this series for me. Cannot wait to get my hands on the next book!

Grave Digger Academy year 2 is the continuation of this fun new series by C.A King. The story follows Makayla as she begins her second year at her new school, after the drama of the previous term she is hoping for a quiet year however that is not to be. The Inter Academy Games are about to start, and Makayla and her friends become reluctant participants but there is a gate crasher that is determined to change the rules. I liked this book, it is a fun concept and I really liked finding out more about the other characters such as Frankie and Makayla’s brothers, you also learn a little more about some of the other academies which was a good way of expanding this new magical world. I just wish this book had been longer, I got so engrossed in it, I wasn’t prepared for it to end. Looking forward to the next instalment.

King – Review by Juls Dick
Grave Digger Academy is the first book in this series by C.A. King, the story followed Makayla, the youngest child of a very successful magical lineage who is ready to start her first day at the magical academies. Makayla is not the same as her brothers, who are all very accomplished in their areas, and she ends up at the Grave Digger Academy, the least respected of the magical schools. Not everything is as it seems at her new school however, the teaching staff refuse to talk about certain subjects, and she feels that there is something sinister lurking in the shadows. This was a fun novel and did well at introducing the different characters in the new magical world. I enjoyed it, would recommend to younger readers who like the paranormal genre.

A Love Restrained by Becky Flade is a romantic suspense thriller that is hard to put down. Jayson and Kylee should have been high school sweethearts but Jayson’s family situation stopped that from happening. Fast forward a few years and the pair apparently find themselves on opposite sides of the legal system but unable to stay away. When a threat tears them apart, it is a shock for both of them when they meet again and things are not the same as they were. This was a fast paced book, split into three distinct parts. I was a bit skeptical when I first started it but quickly found that I really liked the characters and the storyline was fast paced and an engaging read. I really enjoyed this story.

Ritual Obsession by RL Dunn is the first book in the Blood Obsession series and what a way to start a series. This book was hard to put down and I actually got annoyed I finished it too quickly. The story follows Bobbi, a detective in the NYPD. Bobbi is not your typical police officer as she comes from a wealthy background and was a debutante. When she is sent to a new precinct it is not easy to fit in however she proves her worth to her tough partner Rose. I don’t want to spoil the story, but this book has you feeling all sorts of things! There are some trigger warnings as it does touch on some very sensitive subjects but if you want a thrilling, gritty crime novel with a hint of romance. I have read a few books by this author and loved them, this book did not disappoint.
