Breaking Traditions: The Shifter And The Mage By Madilynn Dale 5 out of 5 stars
I loved reading the book Breaking Traditions: The Shifter And The Mage by Madilynn Dale. It is a story that pulled me in from the beginning and I was hooked. I loved reading about the characters of Natalie and Alex. Natalie is a young woman who is a shifter and dreams of operating a bakery. She is intelligent, independent, and kind. She also comes from a family that follows traditions even if what they want is the opposite of what Natalie wants. Alex is a mage who falls for Natalie from the first time that they meet. He finds himself with an unusual bond to her. Will Alex and Natalie be able to break traditions to be together? It seems that there is a lot stacked against them. What does the future hold for Natalie and Alex? Read this book to find out. I love paranormal stories and this book is a good example of the reason why. The author makes the characters come alive. When reading the book, I felt like I was right there with them. There are other additional characters that I loved reading about who are friendly and helpful to both Alex and Natalie. The story has heartwarming moments as well as romantic ones as well. Don’t miss out on an entertaining story that you won’t want to put down until the ending page. I highly recommend reading it.

Wrapped Up in You by Erin Bevan is such a sweet holiday romance- a wonderfully original and charming story, with endearing characters, set in the North Pole- then Ms. Bevan added a dash of drama and the result is a winning recipe for a delightfully romantic and interesting story. I loved the premise of the story. Santa’s daughter, Jenny, must choose a husband who will become the future Santa. She only has three short weeks to do it. On the night of her Courtship Gala an aeroplane crashes into the toy factory- bringing a stranger into the mix. Logan, the pilot, wakes up in the ‘North Pole” with memory loss- and now the fate of Christmas, as well as his and Jenny’s hearts, hang in the balance. Erin Bevan has such a wonderfully descriptive, warm and inviting style to her writing. Her stories always draw me in and have me hanging on every word. Her books are so easy to read and are always very captivating- and this story was no different. I can’t wait to see what she does next!

Dead Magic: The Sanctuary Chronicles by India Kells
This book drew me in from the beginning and kept me intrigued and engaged throughout. I loved reading about Finn and Violet, the way they push each other’s buttons and their attraction is off the charts no matter how forbidden it is. This book is full of action, magic, witches,vampires,friendships, danger, love, and so much more. I was on the edge of my seat through so much of this story, I just couldn’t put it down until I found out what was going to happen. Of course our favorite characters from the previous books are still with us in this one. You will absolutely want to read this awesome book. I highly recommend it. You will not be disappointed.

Wrapped Up In You by Erin Bevan was a cute romantic read! It would be a great novel for Christmas time. It read so much like a Christi fairytale, I didn’t want to put this book down when I started reading it. This novel was unique to me, in the way the Christmas and Santa aspect of the novel was different from most Christmas novels I’ve read. The unique aspect of that is what really drew me in when I started reading. This was super weird to read in the summer, but I can’t wait to read it again at Christmas time!

Wrapped Up in You by Erin Bevan is a magical Christmas romance and this one is as cheesy as you can get. Add to this that you might be reading it in the height of a hot July month and you will be wishing for Christmas as well! I hope that you will keep an open mind and pick up the story and stop thinking about Hallmark Christmas movies …well …. Sort of … in some ways I would say that this story is not really about Christmas, it is about so much more! Wrapped Up in You gives you Santa Claus’ daughter Jenny and Logan who crashes his plane into the toy factory on the North Pole during the gala where Jenny is supposed to choose her husband! There is chemistry and there is memory loss and there is duty and there is love … you start cheering for these two from the beginning and I have to admit that I had to go and read the ending as I could not take the stress of not knowing what Logan’s past was! I spent great couple of hours with Jenny and Logan and the rest of the great characters that the writer gives us and I hope you will enjoy it as much as I did!

I give Dare Me: A Paranormal Demon Romance (The Demonology Series Book 1) by Felicity Brandon, 4 stars.
This is a paranormal erotic story involving a down on her luck artist. She can’t seem to pull herself out of the misery she is in. This is perfect fodder for a demon who thrives on misery. But there is something else about this mortal that he just can’t give up.
This story has a lot of sex and steamy scenes. It also tends to lean heavily on the slave/master type of sex. If that is not your thing, this may not be for you. However, if you enjoy this, you will definitely enjoy this book. Selling your soul to the devil to become famous has been around for as long as there have been forms of entertainment. That is what the author uses as her basis, and spins her on tale from there.
If you are a fan of dominant demons and submissive mortals in a dance of love and sex, this book may just be for you.

Wrapped Up In You by Erin Bevan is a sweet, magical holiday romance. Princess Jenny Claus (yes, as in related to Santa) has to pick a husband and soon. Logan Moss, crash lands and has amnesia. Will the two of them find themselves a match? I was afraid this would become an overly sweet, saccharine story but turned out to be a pleasant, magical read. This has fun characters with distinct personalities. I enjoyed the magical, seasonal story during this time of lockdown. It allowed me to get away from the day to day and relax. The story also allowed me to imagine a cold, winter night and gave me relief from the heat. Overall, this is a fun story with characters with a heart. I recommend this for a getaway and look forward to reading more from this author in the future.

This is an exciting read as we follow Becky on the road to fame doing the rodeo circuit. With her best friend, Emily in tow, Becky lives at a horse ranch where she’s content until powers higher than herself force her to put a lot in perspective for her new life. I loved reading the morals this story leads up to from love lessons to lessons on life. I love characters that can brave a lot of storms and come out on top. This was a beautiful read.

This is a great holiday story that will warm your heart and bring the heat too. It is written with a lot of heart and soul. That is one of my favorite things about this author is her writing skills and that she writes from the heart. This is one of my favorites of her yet. This is a holiday story that takes place in Bali and ends up in Crystal Rock. Nick and Emma meet each other in Bali and are instantly attracted to each other. They share a heat filled kiss and Nick knows he wants more of her. What happens after Nick finds himself in Crystal Rock is where you need to pick up this book to read. I will say that Nick has a secret and some family tragedy that needs some healing. Could Emma be the one to help with that healing? This story is filled with Christmas wishes and even some Santa kisses too. I highly recommend this book and this author. It will heat up your Summer night. Loved it!
Foxxy has never had a perfect life until one fateful night. With Robin Hood as her partner, Foxxy is an equalizer who is out for blood after being assaulted by her pimp, Eddie. Trying to save money to move away and start fresh, Foxxy is out to settle the score after all the horrors her ex-pimp put her through. At a ballroom party, a stranger catches her eye but connects them both in one another’s lives. Robin couldn’t let her go as she knew without a shadow of a doubt that she was the one for him. Foxxy is out to get revenge for every woman Eddie has ever tortured with the help of Robin. As she steps into who she’s out to be as an equalizer, Foxxy realizes that this is who she’s supposed to be. This book took me by surprise at how good it was but also multilayered. There’s a great sense of action from characters out to seek vengeance even in a completely fictional way.

Abbott – Review by Faith Jackson
I enjoyed this hot romance story. This author continues to impress me with her attention to details that make her stories pop and her imagination to create great stories. This book ranks right up there as one of my favorites by her. This story is no different. It is a well written story that kept me engaged to the end. The plot pulled me in right from the first page. This is a story about love at first site and taking a chance. Cassie and Harry meet one night at a bar. Harry is the bartender that listens to Cassie and her troubles. There are a few problems. Cassie is engaged to a man who doesn’t deserve her. Harry is known as a player but is he willing to stop his ways for Cassie? Is he good enough for her? Will she take a chance on him? This is a great romance story that has a lot going on yet not so much that it becomes confusing. These are great characters that I had no problem connecting with and they really did make the story for me. I highly recommend reading this book and this author.

Calamity under the Chandelier (A Sleuthing Starlet Mystery Book 1) By Camilla Blythe 5 out of 5 stars
I loved reading the book Calamity under the Chandelier (A Sleuthing Starlet Mystery Book 1) by Camilla Blythe. It is a mystery novel that hooked me in from the beginning. I loved reading about the character of Cora Clarke. She follows her best friend and fellow actress to England and ends up in the middle of a mystery. When someone is killed and her friend becomes a suspect, Cora becomes determined to find out who the murderer is. Read this book to find out the full story and if Cora is successful in her search. This is a book that had me guessing all the way through. There are twists that I didn’t see coming. I found myself turning pages wondering what was going to happen next. The tension is high, and the suspicions run deep. The body count rises. Don’t miss out on an entertaining story that will have you reading far into the night. I would highly recommend reading this book.

This is a story for those over the age of 18 only, there are many scenes of violence and an adult nature.
The story begins in the demon realm of Purgatory where the four dark prince’s Ezekiel, Valek, Raegel and Lycidas in a meeting room on neutral ground with the Blood Queen Ophelia where their fathers have agreed a truce, but unknown to them, Ophelia intends to curse the four princes. As her devious plan comes to fruition, as the princes try to fight the curse settling in, they lose and come under her thrall.
Next we are 200 years later and with Ilana, a vampire-human hybrid who is fighting in a battle for the Vampire Prince, and after she returns, showers and gets dresses, she finds that she has to attend a feast with everyone else, including her best friend Mia, she has a bag of blood before going as she can’t partake of the festivities like any normal vampire would. However, she hadn’t realised that the four dark princes including the Incubus Prince Ezekiel would be there as well and as their eyes meet as she tries to sneak out of the feast unnoticed, she immediately feels something strong and unknown. When Ezekiel sees that Ilana isn’t feeding like everyone else, he is intrigued as to why and when their eyes meet, he realises that there is more to this vampire than meets the eye.
The next day, the reason that Ezekiel and the other princes are there is revealed and it is to see how all the four realms can work together as a team to defeat the Blood Queen. Each demon type goes through a series of trials and this involves training combat with each of the other demon kinds. Ilana shows enough talent and mysterious abilities, however, she feels that she hasn’t done well and a certain ability shows itself when her life was in semi-danger during the training. When everyone finds out which teams they are in, Ilana is shocked and amazed to find that she has been picked by Ezekiel.
This is where their paths begin to intertwine and the mysteries in their past present and future seek to both tie them together, yet at the same time rip them apart. As they find out more about each other, the curse and the realms around them, how the future will turn out is unknown as every step of the way as there are barriers to break down, hurdles to cross and new experiences to have.
This has to be read to the end to be fully understood and experienced, it is a tale of passion, seduction, realisation and determination which will take you on a whirlwind ride in more ways than one!

The Divided Twin (The Divided Series Book 2). I highly recommend reading these in order to start off. Now for my view on this book, I really appreciate the way this author tells a story. The entire story draws you in and I couldn’t put it down until I reached the end. The characters are complex and well written. From beginning to end I was completely hooked. I’ve seen this book be described as raw and I think that’s a great way of thinking about it. It’s a bit of a difficult subject but you can feel the authors emotions behind each page. It’s well written and paced nicely never feeling rushed or lacking anything. It may have some triggers for some but I truly appreciate the words written. Four stars and highly recommended!

Wrapped Up In You By Erin Bevan ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ Christmas in July! I enjoyed this Holiday story. 100 degrees here at home, reading about snow and Santa. Jenny soon to be Queen has many choices to make. She is about to turn 21! She must also marry. As her husband must take over for Santa. But as we know nothing is that easy. 30 suiters, 21 days and the pilot that crashed and burned the toy factor 1 month to get it all done. Make toys for children all over the world. Help the pilot get his memory back. Meet and marry Santa. Easy? Nope!
Erin Bevan wrote this fun romance story. It’s not just about Christmas. She has made a great group of characters. Loved that there was enough going on, in this romantic story, to keep my interest. She will get yours too. This may be a quick read, but believe me when I say “You won’t be able to put it down”. Every chapter gets you deeper into this story. Great Job Erin Bevan!!

Two Hearts Unspoken Targets by Tamara Ferguson is the 11th book in the Two Hearts Wounded Warrior Romance series. This is another fantastic addition to an already great series. As with the previous books in this series the author really knows how to take you in a journey. You are right there with the characters through all of it, experiencing exactly what they are. You really do become so connected with the characters. The story had everything I have come to expect from a Tamara Ferguson story – action, suspense, romance. It was yet another book by her that once I had started I had to finished it all in one sitting. This whole series is fantastic and I would definitely recommend anyone read them.
Blessed: Academy of the Seraph by Brandi Elledge is a well written and exciting book, with a fairly unique take on quite a well done genre. From the moment I started reading this book I knew I was going to enjoy it. I was hooked on the characters and the whole premise of the book immediately. This is the first book that I have read by this author and I love the way she was created this world and made it so real. At times it really felt like you were there alongside them. I absolutely flew through this book, reaching the end before I knew it, wishing I hadn’t because I had enjoyed it so much and wanted more. This is an amazing book and one I would highly recommend. I cannot wait to read book 2!

Love Comes in the Mourning by Erin Bevan. This is a new to me author and I’ve got to say I’m very excited to read more. I love a story about finding love when you’re not even looking. Each of the main characters have past hurts and stories to be told that will have you all in your feelings. The chemistry they share is so well written you forget it’s on pages instead of on a screen before you. The storyline is well written and paced nicely never feeling rushed or lacking anything. It’s a sweet story that I was so happy to get lost in for a while. You can easily connect with the characters and it was sad when I reached the end because I wasn’t wanting to leave them. So excited to see where this author takes me next! Four stars and highly recommended!

I enjoyed this cute romance story. This is not my first book by this author but it is my favorite so far yet. This is a well developed story that kept me turning pages to the end. The characters are engaging and connectable. This is a story about the present and past and which one will prevail? Chloe had it all until she dated the wrong man at work and now lost it all, on top of that she is branded a thief. Then we have Sebastain who took over an animal clinic. He sees Chloe at a wedding and is instantly attracted to her and best of all his two dogs love her. What could be better right? What happens when his past comes crashing into the present? There are secrets that can be hurtful or they can be helpful, which are these? This is a romance story that was written with heart and feeling. You won’t regret picking up this book, I don’t. I highly recommend this book.

This is the second book in this series, I loved it just as much as the first. I highly suggest that you read book one before to help you get more information on where the characters have been and who they are. I loved being pulled into this book right from the beginning. It is engaging and the twists and turns kept me turning pages right to the end. It had me guessing on who did it right along with the characters. Valarie just wants to have a normal life. Her past still haunts her. What will happen when a serial killer pops up? There are coincidences linking the murders but could it be more than just a coincidence? Will they figure out who the serial killer is before they strike again? Valarie has been one of my favorite characters. She is so strong but yet has been through so much. I loved watching her grow throughout this story. I highly recommend this book and this author.

Finn is one of the oldest vampires to walk the earth. Violet is a witch whose parents have been killed by vampires. You would think Violet would stay away from FInn but nope she is connected to him by blood. Can their blood bond keep them safe from what is going on in the world? Will the dark magic overpower Violet and Finn? This book is the third book in the The Sanctuary Chronicles and I believe it is the best book of the series. India Kells will amaze you with the vivid scenery and character development. The story keeps you turning the pages because you want to know what is coming next. I felt like I was on a roller coaster ride of emotions. I highly recommend this series to see if love wins.

In Manda Mellett’s Being Lost, we are introduced to the San Diego chapter of her Satan’s Devils MC. Other chapters of the MC – Colorado and Arizona – are already well established in Mellett’s books and San Diego has been mentioned before so it is exciting to get to know it properly! Lost has made mistakes and trusted the wrong people, and suffered for it. He is still suffering, and worried about what the future could hold for him and the San Diego chapter. But this fear feeds a determination to do the right thing, and a carefulness about where he places his trust. He’s got a good team around him and is willing to work hard. This story has plenty of tension and action in it. It’s a real page turner! But this doesn’t take away from the romantic story. It’s great to have an older couple as romantic leads, particularly with both of them dealing with the pain they have suffered in the past. You can absolutely jump in at this story if you haven’t read the others. Mellett gives the reader all the backstory they need to understand what’s going on. That said, the story leads on from the events of Ink’s Devil, the 5th book in the Colorado Chapter series. And if you’re going to read that, you might want the backstory in Devil’s Dilemma at which point you may as well read the whole Colorado Chapter series, and the original Satan’s Devils series, because why not? They’re great books. For me, this is a five star book. A great addition to a great series – I’m looking forward to reading more from the San Diego chapter!

This dark romantic fantasy is a short read at only seventy eight pages but it’s a complete story and is a gripping read. Vashti has grown weary of the grief and loneliness that has plagued her since her husbands death a year before and for the first time she leaves the sanctuary of her mansion to venture into town. Meanwhile Absalom is left homeless having learnt that his girlfriend has cheated on him. When the two meet Vashti feels compelled to offer Absalom a room in her mansion. Vashti is looking for companionship and Absalom is keen to except the offer even if it does come with a strangely specific contract. Things are going well for both Vashti and Absalom until Simeon, Absalom’s friend appears and brings with him unwanted drama. Vashti has always longed for privacy and has worked hard to protect it and suddenly this is endangered. Absalom can see everything that he’s built with Vashti beginning to crumble. When lives are threatened Vashti comes up with a solution but this will change both their lives forever. I found myself hooked from the beginning of this story, Vashti and Absalom are great characters and their emotions really came through in the narrative. The whole story had a dark atmospheric feel to it and I could not put it down.

Boy On Hold by JD Spero is an absolutely amazing book! This book will keep you on the edge of your seat, so much so that I was up late into the night reading, wanting to see what happened next! This being my first book from this author, i wasn’t sure what to expect, but I was absolutely blown away. This book is amazing all around, the characters, imagery, and the plot just add to all the twist and turns, creating an incredible book! I highly recommend it and will definitely be reading more from this author!

Dead Magic (The Sanctuary Chronicles, Book 3) by India Kells
5 Stars
Before I go any further I must comment on this cover..Holy Moly how beautiful is this?? Even if this wasn’t already one of my favorite authors EVER, I would have read this book because of the cover.
So now that that’s out of the way.. I loved this book, not surprising because I love all of India’s books. The Sanctuary Chronicles series sits up as one of my favorite series and I couldn’t wait to get Finn’s story. Who doesn’t love a Vampire / Witch story, especially when filled with every emotion possible. I sat down with this on a break and that break lasted till I was reading the last word.
You could, I suppose read this as a stand alone, but don’t do that, the characters throughout the series come in and out and I’m so thankful I have the others already in my head. I can not wait for book 4 and have also decided to read all of these again before the next comes out.

Finn and Violet! Now this book can be read as a standalone but I would highly recommend you read the other two books in the series, to meet the other characters and to see how Finn and Violet have grown since then. Finn is an extremely old vampire and Violet a powerful witch. It was sad to see how Finn wanted to give up and end his life, but of course I love that Violet is what makes him feel again, and makes him want to keep going, she is his light. It was a nice twist to see that Violet did not trust and was leery of vampires because they killed her parents. And just like in the previous book, a vampire and witch can’t be together, the laws that govern the supernatural will not allow it, but of course they overcome those obstacles and it is exciting, dangerous and fun to watch their relationship move along. There are so many more crazy things that happen with this couple, you do not want to miss out. I have been in love with this series and I can’t wait to see what India Kells will come out with next!
