Let It Be Love (A Mustang Prairie Romance Book 5) by N.D. Jackson – Review by Michelle G

Let It Be Love (A Mustang Prairie Romance)Let It Be Love by N.D. Jackson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Loved this read! Nice, easy afternoon curled up in front of fire. I haven’t read anything by N D Jackson previously and i really enjoyed this book. On further investigation this is the 5th book in the series. Having said that it is a stand alone story of Kiki and Eric.

The storyline is well written and I loved the small town setting. I’d love to say Kiki was relatable but I’m no pop star. I loved the strong character development throughout the book. I couldn’t relate to Kiki’s famousness; however I felt I could relate to her wanting a normal life. The chance to experience falling in love like everyday, non-famous people!

Loved this read and highly recommend it.

Fairly Royal (The Fair Series Book 4) by Grace Grahme – Review by Jules Herbert

Fairly Royal (Fair, #4)Fairly Royal by Grace Grahme
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The two lead characters in this book are well written and develop beautifully throughout the story. I guess you would say Anna has a real zest for life and I found her to be a truly wonderful character to follow through this fun story and one that I fell for straight away. Phillip is an Earl who takes all that involves and his sense of duty very seriously and I’ll be honest at the start I thought to myself OMG he is so damn stuffy! Getting to know him more through the book I loved him just as much as Anna. With such creative writing, fun humorous moments and a HEA that makes you just feel good this is a book not to missed and this fabulous author definitely has a new fan in me. As this is my first book by this author and book 4 I will be going back to read the others in this series for sure!

I really enjoyed this story. It connects so much to real life and I loved, being able to put myself in that situation without feeling impossible. I also enjoyed how the author lets the story build up instead of throwing you into action. In a way, I could see myself as Roxanne because I enjoy writing stories, and maybe who knows I could find an author and join.

Fairly Royal (The Fair Series Book 4) by Grace Grahme – Review by Jenni Bishop

Fairly Royal (Fair, #4)Fairly Royal by Grace Grahme
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Fairly Royal is an opposites attract contemporary romance This was the first time I have read anything by this author and I was pleasantly surprised. Grace had me at Scotland, so reading anything about Scotland brings back vivid memories of my time spent there. I love Scotland. Add in a steamy romance and I’m hooked.

This slow burn brother’s best friend romance will have you hoping that there is the perfect man out there and just waiting for you. If only. Any how this is the fourth book in this series but I didn’t discover this until I was more than half way through so now I will go back and read the others.

I loved the humour that Grace infused throughout the story making it feel that more realistic. There is sweet and sexy, steam and drama, a fake relationship that may or may not develop into more and characters that you will enjoy. The story is very well-written and well-developed.

If you love contemporary romances, you will love this book.

The Secret Cure: A Gripping Psychological Thriller with a Twist by JD Spero – Review by Angela Hayes

The Secret CureThe Secret Cure by J.D. Spero
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

 

4.5 Stars

 

The Secret Cure by J.D Spero is a tense psychological thriller that kept me intrigued right till the very end. Ms. Spero has woven a wonderfully twisted tale of love, betrayal, jealousy, lies, secrets, deceit, revenge, and unexpected developments. It is also told from several points of view- which gave me a really well-rounded perspective of what was happening and added extra depth and intrigue to the overall story.
I don’t want to reveal too much here and ruin the suspenseful twistiness that comes with this read. I suggest going in blind and letting the author, characters, and story, surprise you!
My favourite read from Ms. Spero to date…. And I can’t wait to see what she does next!
Happy reading!

Thank you, J.D Spero!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I was enraptured by The Girl Who Escaped. The author kept you on the edge of your seat the whole time. I have love/hate relationships with crime dramas. I either love them or hate them, no in between. This one I loved! I couldn’t put it down. Keeping me interested even when not feeling well, reading it cover to cover in one go.
Angie, a victim who has been convicted of a crime she didn’t commit. Ends up arrested and in a psychiatric facility due to her traumas. She feels she let her bestfriends down when she ran for her life, because it meant the end of theirs. Now it’s time to prove her innocence. With the help of FBI agent Brenda as well as Jake and his dog Cody, she’s on a mission of redemption and closure.
Zarin is after her. She injured him greatly and got away. He can’t let her live to see another day. Unfortunately the Prince wants her for himself. So now he’s on the mission to get her back and bring her to him.
The author weaves a wonderful story of a girl’s redemption and survival. While also shedding light on one thing a lot of young women fear. Kidnapped for trafficking. This book was well written and keeps you interested the whole way through. If you like crime dramas, give this author a shot! I know I will look into other books by this author in the future, I’m definitely a fan!

Love in the Roses (Love Through the Ages Book 1) by TL Clark – Review by Julie Johnson

Love in the RosesLove in the Roses by T.L. Clark
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Set in the 15th century England, Isabel is learning the ways of being a wife as she learns that her parents have chosen her suitor. Sir William is her betrothed and they meet at the altar. Their wedding brings about much pomp and circumstance and it’s obvious that the author put a lot of time researching the customs and language of the times. The rest of the book focuses on the relationship that they have with each other and those around them.

I found this to be a very enjoyable read! I appreciate the historical accuracy woven within this story. I look forward to more stories by this author!

This book was amazingly written, packed full of action, drama and redemption. I loved how well this flowed and gripped you from the first page. This author puts a lot of thought and background into this novel, that is bulletproof. I would recommend this book to all the “Criminal Mind’s” fans out there.

Love in the Roses (Love Through the Ages Book 1) by TL Clark – Review by Skylar Daniels

Love in the RosesLove in the Roses by T.L. Clark
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is one of the first books that I have read from this author and I fell in love with it within the first few pages. The author has such a way with words that I was able to visualize everything the characters were seeing and feel everything they were in that moment.
Love in the Roses is the fictitious tale of a knight’s daughter, living life as it very well may have been in 1484. This stand-alone historical romance contains an abundance of marital bedchamber antics.
Isabel has never met her husband…
Their parents have arranged the marriage. But, when Isabel discovers who her intended is, it becomes apparent that he’s on the wrong side of the Wars of the Roses.
As a knight with honour, surely her father would not sacrifice their family to the House of Lancaster. Yet, to her horror, he insists upon the union with Sir William.
15th century England is perilous – betrayal and ruin are only ever a heartbeat away. And death hides behind every door.
Adventure through Medieval England in this intriguing story of love battling against all odds.
Love Through The Ages is TL Clark’s collection of historical romance books, exploring how love differs through the centuries.
I’m excited to see and read other books from this author. I highly recommend this author to anyone who loves historical romances. I was never a fan of them but this book changed my mind.

Fairly Royal (Fair, #4)Fairly Royal by Grace Grahme
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Phillip and Anna, an Earl and his brother’s best friend, is a romance that I truly enjoyed. A romance that makes you smile because he just can’t realize that she is in love with him. He is afraid to put anyone through the mess that comes with loving a royal. He asks Anna to help him with a fake romance. These two commence with a pretend relationship complete with drama. I loved it all. The story had romance, steam, drama and characters that just make the story. I’ve always loved these type of stories because of the rags to riches type of theme. In this case, it was you girl next door romance. How can Phillip make this work when her brother is his best friend? The plot is fantastic. It was very well-written and well-developed. This is a terrific romance that you just get sucked into. You should read this one. You’ll be intrigued and learning the meaning of the language will be fun too.

This book was really good. Gabriel’s journey was so intense and there was lots of drama. The family dynamic between Gabriel and his mother Juana played for me true to reality, most mothers want their sons to love them the most, even over any wife they might have, they just don’t usually turn to the dark arts to control them. I found the religious aspect or rather the distortion of religion interesting. I enjoyed this novel and would enjoy reading more from this author.

Paige and the Reluctant Artist by Darci Garcia

This is the first book I’ve read by the author. Paige and the Reluctant Artist is a fantastic read. I loved how Paige was taken with Mark right from the beginning. Storm Cloud also helped and made my love for horses deeper.

Paige is an art curator and loves her job. Life hasn’t always been so kind, but she made it to the top. Seeing a painting she wants to get to know the artist behind it. When she does meet the artist she becomes completely attracted to him. Will she get her happily ever after? The quote I chose for Paige is: “I just became lost, spinning in circles, completely unraveling, until I met Mark. He doesn’t see my career, or my designer clothes, or my oh-so-chic uptown apartment. He sees me. The me that’s been buried inside, the me that somehow convinced myself that my worth was in what I did, what I wore, where I lived, instead of the me that could care less about all of it. The me that would willingly live under a bridge with the most incredible man in the world and still know that I hit the jackpot. He opened his heart, left himself vulnerable, for me. So you see, I am still unraveling, but tenderly, wholly, and with all of my heart.”

Mark loves to paint in his downtime and he loves to rescue horses. Storm Cloud being the first and many to follow after. Storm Cloud is also what led Paige to him. Well, a painting of Storm Cloud. Mark has to overcome some challenges, but will he be able to do it? The quote I chose for Mark is: “I love you, Paige. I think I fell in love with you that first day we met. I don’t know if it was when your shoe got stuck in the mud, or when I heard you curse like a sailor under your breath or the moment I first looked into your incredible eyes and in their depths, recognized a friend. I felt like I just had a gut punch and it hasn’t changed with time. I want you to know that your suitcase is over by my closet, because this room is ours. I want you in my bed, our bed, from now on.”

Highly recommended for Contemporary Romance lovers.

The Girl Who EscapedThe Girl Who Escaped by Mark Nolan
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I was gripped from start to finish by this crime, mystery thriller and found this story to be a real page turner. Angie Taylor was the only one of four college girls who were abducted to escape and survive, the other three were brutally murdered. One month later and the traumatised Angie is yet to speak, it’s believed the shock has caused her to become speechless. Angie is unable to talk about her experience and has been unable to speak to describe to a police sketch artist the murderers face. Police are starting to think that she killed her friends and then had a mental breakdown, even her psychiatrist believes that Angie has an emotionally unstable personality disorder. With everyone in the city not sure what to believe, but fearing the worst, that there is a killer on the loose, the FBI send in someone to hopefully get some answers.
FBI Special Agent Brenda Reynolds, of the VSRT has been assigned the case, and she must investigate whether, Angie, the silent girl is in fact a killer, has gone insane, or is she actually a victim. If she is a victim then she could still be in danger from a killer who wants to finish what he started. The storyline had me hooked from page one and the plot twists kept me guessing. The story was full of drama and suspense and I felt immersed in the novel. The main characters all bring something different to the overall story. I really felt for Angie, and found that her traumatised state came across in the narrative. Brenda is definitely a ‘no nonsense’ Special Agent and I felt she brought the story together. I loved the interactions between her and retired Marine, Jake Wolfe and of course Cody, his military dog. This was an entertaining read and one which I recommend.

Omg this was an amazing Thriller. I have loved the books by this author from the first one I’ve read and this one is so good. The author does an amazing job of creating a story that is suspenseful and keeps the reader really gripped. The twists and turns keep you on the edge of your seat not wanting to stop reading until you find out the ending.

In this story we are with Angie. What started out as a holiday with her friends turns into a nightmare when they are kidnapped. Angie manages to escape but that’s where things go from bad to worse. After returning to the car with police her 3 friends are found dead and Angie is the number 1 suspect.
Angie trys to explain about the kidnapper but with no evidence of anyone else being involved the police don’t believe her.
All this trauma causes Angie’s body to shut down and she loses the ability to talk and tell her side of the story.

When FBI Agent Brenda Reynolds comes to see her she realises the only way to get this kidnapper is to get Angie to talk but that is no simple task.

Now it’s a race against time as the kidnapper/killer is still out there and has his eye on Angie. He won’t settle until he gets the girl that got away. Will Angie find her voice before its too late? Will she be able to give a description of the kidnapper or will the trauma she suffered be too great for her to remember anything? And will the kidnapper succeed in his tasks of getting his revenge on Angie?

I enjoyed reading the changes that each of the main characters go through allowing them to not only grow as a person but also allow themselves to go after what they truly want. I would recommend this book; it is worth the read.

What can I say but I really enjoyed reading this book. I love romances in general and this was just a really good read. I like how there is the sense of confliction and it was not predictable. The author does a good job of writing in enough drama to help balance out the romance and keep the reader glued. I certainly didn’t want to put it down.

The characters have a great chemistry and it helps to enrich the book. The totally different personas of the main characters makes it more down to earth and easy to relate to. I will certainly be reading more from this author .

Kiss a Thief by Marina Hanna – Review by Christie Mitchum

KISS A THIEFKISS A THIEF by Marina Hanna
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Kiss a Thief is a fast-paced contemporary romance with some mystery and angst thrown in! Once you begin the first few pages, buckle up because it is going to be a fast, bumpy, but thoroughly enjoyable ride!

Our story opens up in an art gallery where Mia works for the boss from hell. She is just paying her dues, hoping one day to open her own gallery. In walks the sexy billionaire Dylan Knight who captures her attention when she sees him admiring a piece of art. What begins as a sexy flirtation turns to lust and then much more! Yet, their road to happiness will be full of bumps, and I found myself rooting so hard for this couple, hoping they would get their HEA.

I was expecting a steamy romance, but what I wasn’t expecting was the great suspense and adventure which just added more layers to the book. Without spoiling anything, that little twist added trust issues for both characters, and that, in turn, added more layers and made the characters multi-faceted and complex. If you are looking for a quick, sexy read with some suspense, give Kiss a Thief a try!

This story takes off on page one. The girls are out enjoying the evening when they are kidnapped. Angie is the designated driver, and the other girls are about to pass out. Angie being on her guard knew something was up. But she did not expect what would happen. Or the outcome she is faced with. Her only hope is VSRT Agent Brenda Reynolds and retired Marine Jake and his K-9 companion Cody. I am sure you have read stories with Jake and Cody. Anyway, the girl is in trouble and too scared to speak of the incident. This author once again did not disappoint. His story is fast paced and will have you on the edge of your seat. The writing is clear and bone chilling. The characters are likable and your heart will go out for Angie. This is a must read suspenseful story you can’t miss out on. I recommend you read this as well as the other books from this author.
