The first couple of pages had piqued my curiosity about the story. So much so, that I didn’t notice my grandson attempting to steal my cup of hot coffee. This paranormal romantic suspense story feels like it would be almost any book lover fan’s dream- to be able to spend time with your favorite author over the summer as their caregiving companion. I know it would be mine!
The creative tapestry this text is woven with a part of the paranormal narrative one wouldn’t expect to see in this genre, but it works exponentially. Love across time and space, memories that feel like dreams, and love that feels like home. Enchanted in Time will draw you into the energy of the characters and the paths taken to find love and forgiveness.

You cannot help but get divulged in a book like this. The whole thing has your heart racing chapter after chapter! I’m sorry to get so excited but this doctor is a true heroine! She is that one you get caught up in and knows she’s the “it” (excuse my French) and for a great cause but this book goes deeper! As the doctor means well to save the girls, she’s caught up in a trap of manipulation at every turn: She knows better with all her fancy education but lust keeps screaming her name and her body is betraying her mind. The truth is behind the savagery she has to go through for answers. Is she really ready to risk it all? The choice is up to the doctor and her quest for answers. This book is filled with everything I love: A mystery, sexual chemistry, lust, desire, and suspense. I was all in reading this one! I couldn’t help it — I highly recommend it as India Kells is quickly becoming one of my favorite authors. Anything I see with her name, I can’t put down and this book was absolutely no exception. So, pick up your copy and you won’t be disappointed.

What an adventure this story was! It took a moment for me to become accustomed to the language used but then I had fun looking up Scottish terms and it was like learning another language! The characters were superbly developed and quickly fell into categories of love them or hate them. Although, it must be said that some characters kept you guessing about their true motives through multiple twists and turns. Highly recommended!

The Widow: A Dark Romantic Fantasy by Naomi Valkyrie and Rebecca E. McEwen was a great 5 star read. I was pulled right in by the author’s writing. The further I got into the story the quicker the pages were turning so I could see what was coming next.
Vashti has lived alone since her husband passed away. Looking for companionship she decides to invite Absalom to stay with her. It works out great for the two of them, however when one of his friends shows up things take an interesting twist. Will they be able to keep their friendship intact or will Simeon interfere?
Overall I really enjoyed this read. I really loved the characters, they added so much to the story. We get mystery, dark elements, surprises and so much more that will pull you right in. The two authors did such a great job writing this story, I would love to read more from them. If you’re looking for a great read, I highly recommend this one. 1-click and get started today.

Loved this story! I love a good sports based romance and this didn’t disappoint. I loved the characters of Emilia and Matt and really enjoyed their character development. This author did a beautiful job crafting the storyline and developing very relatable characters. I loved every page and am excited to find this is part of a series. This will be a series I will most definitely read every book.

I enjoyed reading the book Bird in a Snare (The Lord Hani Mysteries Book 1) by N.L. Holmes. This is a book that has mystery, murder, danger, and is intriguing. This book was written in ancient Egypt and the detail the author added not only to the description of life, but the characters was amazing and off the charts. It truly brought the book to life and made it more enjoyable to read. Hani is sent to investigate a murder and bring back proof to his superiors, so justice is served. But who can he believe and trust? Will he be able to bring back the proof? I recommend reading this book and can’t wait for more.

Center Of Gravity by Isabella Cassazza was a wonderful read! This is the first novel I’ve read from this author, and and I’ve never read a book from the Ice Tigers Hockey series before, but this standalone was great, and I wasn’t confused in the least. Everything that needed to be explained got explained fairly quickly, and there was no confusion in past events. I was instantly enthralled in this entertaining romance novel the moment I started reading. It was touching, and fulfilling, and extremely satisfying to read. I thoroughly enjoyed this novel and can’t wait to read more from this author in the future!

Rebecca Steele Finding the Dream by Joanne Patterson is the second book in the Rebecca Steele series and my first book by this author. I am a sucker for a book that takes place in any part of my home state. That might have drawn me to the book but Joanne’s writing and great characters are what had me flipping the pages.
Great storyline, really like the little twist. As this is standalone, I can’t wait to go back and read the first book just to get to know Rebecca Steele a little better. Can’t wait to see what Rebecca’s next adventure going to be.

This is my first book by N.L. Holmes. I love a good murder mystery, and this book delivered. I couldn’t get enough of the writing style and the story itself. It does have a historical aspect that I’m not used to enjoying, but did! Our main character is Lord Hani, an Egyptian detective. He is sent to investigate a murder and what he discovers is a plot that takes him on a dark and dangerous journey. I can’t wait for more!

I give The Widow: A Dark Romantic Fantasy by Naomi Valkryie & Rebecca E. McEwen, 5 stars.
If I could write a one word review it would be: WOW.
This book is just incredible. I didn’t really know where the book was going, but I loved the journey it took me on and was pleasantly surprised each time something unexpected happened. I loved Vashti. Simeon and Absalom are also very good characters and great additions. I found the story so compelling and could not put it down. I was eager to see what happened next, but I could not rush through the book. I devoured this book — something I have not done in a long time. The fact that the story is so different from most romantic fantasies made me love this book even more. I reall h tsee kore of this world in the future.
If you are a fan of dark romantic fantasies, this book is for you.

The Widow: A Dark Romantic Fantasy by Naomi Valkyrie & Rebecca E. McEwen is a great read. I first was drawn to the beautiful and intriguing cover and title and the authors did not let me down. This book reads quickly but packs a lot into it. The characters and story revolving around Absalom and Vashti are fantastic. I really enjoyed the development of the story and their problem. I will not say anything concerning the plot because I do not want to wreck the story for anyone else. I tore through this book quickly and did not want to put it down. I look forward to reading more books by Naomi Valkyrie and Rebecca E. McEwen in the future.

McEwen – Review by Sheri Schrader
This is a wonderfully written historical fiction novel which took me back to Scotland twenty years after the Battle of Culloden, when there remained strong feelings amongst the Jacobites. The narrative is written in the Scottish dialect of the era which I found hard going to start with but I soon got used to the language and the list of less common words at the end of the book also helped. The list of characters at the start of the book was extremely useful as there are many characters to keep track off. The main character and our hero of the story is Charlie Rob, and until John Leith of Leith Hall takes him under his wing Charlie had not been away from his home in Aberdeenshire and had certainly never been political in his thinking. However the quiet and steady Charlie soon finds himself in the middle of a murder mystery and having to cope with conspiracies in his journey to get justice. Charlie Rob is a very likeable and realistic character and he really made the story for me. The storyline moved along at a good pace and had plenty of twists and turns that kept me guessing and happily turning the pages. The author really made the Scottish era come alive with her detailed descriptions of both time and place. Her obvious knowledge of the historical background of the era also comes through in her writing and I found the historical note by the author at the end fascinating. I was gripped by the story and although this is the first novel by this author I have read, I was pleased to see she has others that I can also now read and I’m pleased to have discovered a new historical fiction writer.

This was a great story about a woman who’s loss of her partner ruled her life. Vashti’s life seems to be on hold since her partner Anton has passed but that all changed when she met Absalom.
Absalom is in college and falls on hard times when his girlfriend kicks him out. To help him Vashti offers him a place to stay but with certain conditions.
When his friend Simeon finds himself also homeless his friend offers him a home but could this be one person to many. Can Vashti’s secret remain secret or will one of her lodgers let it sleep.
This was a gripping story with a huge twist at the end that I didn’t see coming.

The Widow was a surprising book for me, but a very good surprise. I always love it when an author, or in this case authors, manages to take me by surprise.
Vashti lost her husband a year ago and is still carrying the weight of his death. She feels trapped and alone, but one day forces herself to make a change. She leaves her home to venture into the nearby town, and that’s where the story really begins. Vashti meets Absalom when he rescues her from a run in with an angry man she accidentally knocks into. In turn Vashti rescues Absalom too, he ends up staying with her when things in his life change and his well made plans are ruined. As the pair become closer things take a romantic turn, Vashti feels happiness after feeling empty for so long. When Absalom’s friend from college turns up, their new found peace is put at risk.
What drew me into this book was the beautiful, in depth descriptions at the start. I could feel Vashti’s pain and loneliness through the words in the book, and I was hooked. The story has some unexpected twists and turns, and you really feel as though you are taken on a journey with the characters. This is a short story that will leave you wanting more. Great if you want a story to read in one sitting.

McEwen – Review by Lianne Probert
A kaleidoscope is a cylinder full of broken pieces, yet everyone still stares at it in awe. Who’s to say the same can’t be said for women?
Before being thrust in the violent and terrifying sex-trafficking industry, Kristina Svoboda lived in a tiny hamlet in her home country of Czechia. She had an unfulfilling yet peaceful life before she drew the eye of a royal-blooded aristocrat who took what he wanted and lived his life without consequences.
For six years, she’s been beaten, tortured, and exploited, yet her shoulders don’t carry the weight of her abuse. Her heart does, which is exactly what Trey Corbyn plays on when he spots her from afar seconds after she’s released from captivity.
He sees past the frail skin, hollow eyes, and waif-thin exterior.
He sees a survivor.
A woman.
Someone just as broken as him.
With his instincts no longer in existence and his possessiveness dangerous, can a broken man fix a fragilely timid woman? Or will his insecurities worsen her cracks until they reach a point they’ll be unfixable?
Trey: European Redemption is a gritty story about finding love in the darkest of places. It’s raw, intimidating, and shows even when you’ve been beaten to believe otherwise, sometimes dreams do come true. This book has violent scenes that may be distressing to some readers. Caution is advised. It is book seven in the Russian Mob Chronicles, however, it can be read as a standalone.

The Widow: A Dark Romantic Fantasy by Naomi Valkyrie and Rebecca E. McEwen is quite a surprising little package- a dark and mysterious fantasy that is so much more than it first appears. I really don’t want to go into any detail as I don’t want to give away the clever and surprising twist that really gave this book an added element of intrigue. The characters are really well developed with their own personalities, quirks and flaws. The scene setting and storytelling is quite rich, imaginative, and vividly descriptive. The authors have woven a lot into a relatively small amount of space, choreographing all the elements into quite an enthralling read. They also manage to infuse quite a lot of emotion into the storyline, making it easy to connect with the characters and invest in them and the outcome of their story. Well Done! Looking forward to more!

I enjoyed this suspense-thriller book. This is my first book by this author and I look forward to reading more from this author. This is the first book in this series and I can’t wait to read the next one. This is a well written story that has characters that are well rounded and made the story easy to read. The twists and turns had me turning pages fast just waiting to see what was lurking around the corner. This is Logan’s story. She has lost everything and just when she thinks she is starting again her best friend is accused of murder. She now needs to find the murderer but the more she digs the more secrets reveal themselves. Will she find the murderer before they strike again? This is a great story that I read in one afternoon. It kept me wanting to see what happened next. I highly recommended this book.

I enjoyed this fantasy-romance book. This is my first book by this author and I look forward to reading more from them. This is a well developed story that has witches, magic and other mythical creatures. The characters are creative and made the story for me. They are easily connectable and made the story easy to read. Lady Isra is a dark witch that is about to go a little darker. She also meets a cute raven that will take her to a place she isn’t sure about. But she follows him anyway and this is the start of an adventure that kept me turning pages to the end. If you are looking for a fantasy book that is full of romance and magic this is great for you. I highly recommend reading this book to find out what happens with the witch and the raven.

I enjoyed this book. This is a shorter romance story that is engaging and kept me turning pages to the end. This is not my first book by this author but it is one of my favorites of her yet. I had no issues connecting with the characters as they brought the story to life. They made the story easy to read. This is a story about Kelly and Tate. Kelly has not had the best relationships in the past and now she is being forced to work with the town’s player. Will she give him a chance? Will she see who he really is? I enjoyed watching these two grow throughout the book and their chemistry mixes well. I highly recommend this book. It is a great story to heat up anyone’s day.

This was the first book that I have read by this author and I enjoyed it and I am looking forward to reading more. This was a fun book to get into and it was a pretty quick read for me. I fell in love with the idea of Kelly and Tate from page one. Kelly has been cheated on in the past, which makes her very skeptical. Tate has never been one to be monogamous. So when they come together to plan a festival, they can really get to know each other. I loved the flow of this book and I can not was to see what happens next in Sweet Ridge.

Bird In A Snareis the first book in The Lord Hani Mysteries by N.L Holmes. This is an historical mystery set in ancient Egypt, which the author does an excellent job of recreating and bringing to life. I could feel the authors passion for the period shine through in her writing, which added to the whole atmosphere of the story. Hani is a fantastic character, who along with the rest of the cast, help to bring this story alive. He is a loving father, husband, and a respected diplomat. This mystery begins when he is sent to far away Syria, uncovering a murder which could bring a great political backlash. Add in more dead bodies, corruption, politics, hidden agendas, and simmering tension- and this story really takes off. Looking forward to seeing what Hani gets up to in the next book!

Holmes – Review by Angela Hayes
Some books take several pages to get me hooked, this one got me right away. The way Gaia B Amman writes this romance/mythical/suspenseful tale makes you realize that it’s getting better as you read it. The characters are wonderful, smart, independent, and complex all at the same time. Tasha and Josh’s relationship is very relatable which gets you to connect to the story even more. Ms. Amman is a new author I will be adding to my list to follow. Can’t wait to read some of her other books soon.

The Widow: A Dark Romantic Fantasy by Naomi Valkyrie and Rebecca E. McEwen Five Stars
The Widow: A Dark Romantic Fantasy by Naomi Valkyrie and Rebecca E McEwen is a really great story that will grab you on the very first page and won’t let you go until the end. The two authors’ writing styles blend together and make this book flow smoothly. Vashti, Absalom and Simeon are great characters and the story kept me wondering what could possibly come next. I really like these two authors and I’m going to put them both on my TBR list.

McEwen – Review by Sunday Barnaby
The Widow by Naomi Valkyrie and Rebecca E. McEwen was not at all what I expected. When I first started reading this story, I was immediately drawn in by the emotion portrayed by the main character, Vashti. The authors do a great job at getting the reader invested in her struggles and desires. Once you’re invested, the story takes a dark and mysterious turn. I really enjoyed reading this, and highly recommend it!

McEwen – Review by Connie Cranston
Bird in a Snare is the first book in N.L. Holmes’ Lord Hani Mysteries that takes us into the 13th century Egypt. This is my first read by this writer but if I am anything to go by what I just finished reading, this will be not the last of what I will have read by her! If you are a history buff and love historical fiction (and not just historical romance) then congratulations, you have a great opportunity to discover a new writer that will knock your socks off. The writer is giving us a brilliant historical detective, Lord Hani, who is a king’s envoy. He is sent to investigate a murder and what he discovers is a deadly and treacherous plot that takes him on a dark and dangerous journey. The vivid descriptions of Egypt of that era pulls you in, simply close your eyes time to time and you will feel as if you are there, with him as you feel how passionate the writer is about the ancient history. Once you finish the story, you walk away knowing much more than who was behind the murder and the plot, you will walk away knowing much more about the Egyptian history. When I heard that the writer is an archaeologist and university profession by trade, I understood how she had managed to paint such a detailed and real picture. I will need to go and pick up the second Hani mystery now!

Holmes – Review by Jana Teppih
Bird in a Snare (The Lord Hani Mysteries Book 1) by N.L. Holmes. I loved this book. It is such a fast paced thriller that you are sucked in. This book was so detailed I felt like I was in Egypt. Its the story of Hani a Royal Scribe who is on a mission to find a murderer. Hani is admired and loved by many except for his renegade son. During his journey in finding the people responsible for murder he develops a surrogate father/son relationship with Maya. They will be met with political unrest, betrayal, and non stop drama. Hani loves his family very much and they are struggling to stay afloat while he is gone. He also has a love of birds. Will Hani find who is responsible for the murders and devastation before its too late? Will his wife still be there when he returns. Will his son ever come back to him. This and more will be answered when you read Bird In A Snare. Its a wonderful story full of love, intrigue and mystery. You will feel as if you have been to ancient Egypt when you are done!

Bird in a Snare (The Lord Hani Mysteries Book 1) by N.L. Holmes. Ok so firstly this story is way outside my comfort zone but I was intrigued by the description and boy am I glad I decided to give it a try. This is also a new author to me and I was definitely pleasantly surprised and impressed with the attention to even the smallest of details. The characters draw you in and take readers on an incredible journey. I found myself on the edge of my seat more than once and lost within the pages happily for hours. It’s a well thought out storyline and paced nicely. I’m excited to see what else this author has to offer. Four stars and highly recommended!

In the Arms of Morpheus: A Speculative Romance (Antiheroes Book 2) by Gaia B. Amman. Once again this author has a way with words that hooks me from beginning to end. This story was no less amazing than all the rest I’ve read. The characters pull you into their world and you can easily feel the connection to them and their story. This may be on the shorter side of a story but that didn’t hinder and of the importance of the impact I felt from it. The author writes in a way that you feel everything the characters are. It’s a well developed storyline and I loved every minute I spent lost in the pages. Four stars and highly recommended!
