Unexpected Heroes by Naomi Valkyrie – Review by Megan Rea

Unexpected HeroesUnexpected Heroes by Naomi Valkyrie
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I absolutely love Valkyrie’s writing style and she doesn’t disappoint with Unexpected Heroes. This is a MM, small-town romance filled with suspense. Valkyrie packs romance, suspense, angst, and spice into Jude and Elijah’s story and does it really well. I really like how she developed these characters, individually and together, as well as the plot line. This spice level in this is just right and you will not regret picking this story up.

Love Rinkside (The Playmakers Series) Audiobook by G. K. Brady – Review by Megan Rea

Love Rinkside (Playmakers)Love Rinkside by G.K. Brady
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I absolutely devoured this book! I love Katie and Drew’s story and it is so relatable on so many levels…the insecurities (on both sides), the wondering if your feelings are too soon, the apprehension and fear in a new relationship…just all of it! This book has everything you are looking for: romance, spicy time, laugh-out-loud moments, pain, regret, redemption (in a mascot suit no less) and so much more! Brady did a fantastic job writing characters so believable. This is one of the best hockey romances I’ve read in awhile…and there isn’t much hockey in it 😉

Discovering Desire (Shattered Embrace Series) by Alyndra Quinn – Review by Kerry Carr

Discovering Desire (Shattered Embrace #3)Discovering Desire by Alyndra Quinn
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the 3rd book in the Shattered Embrace series. This is another romance with a BDSM element as our main characters are part of that lifestyle. What I love about these books is that there is also danger and excitement as well as steamy chemistry. I do recommend reading these books in order as they do follow on from each other .
This is Derek’s story. Derek is another DOM and Zach’s brother. He has never been one to settle down but he will protect anyone he cares for.
When Justine comes into his life she makes him feel things he has never felt before. And when Justine gets injured it puts things into perspective for Derek. Could she be the girl he’s been waiting for? And in the fight against the threat to Derek’s brother will Justine have just the solution needed to protect everyone?
Added into this mix as well is Jordan. Jordan and Derek have history and as much as she enjoyed being his Sub she is starting to feel like she needs something more. Will that be with Derek or will she be moving on to something new?
This story is told from the point of view of all 3 characters which I love as I feel you get the complete story and understand everyone’s thoughts and feelings. I also like how the author takes the reader into the world of Dom/submissive relationships and opens the readers eyes to what it actually looks like.
I have found out there is another book to read called Whispers in Wonderland which will give me a better insight into Derek’s past so while I will be going back to read that, the fact I haven’t read it doesn’t change my enjoyment of the book.

The Predator Part One (The Predator Series) by Brooke May – Review by Kirsten Berkebile

This book took me by my heart and kept pulling at it from start to finish. Brooke May has grabbed my attention with Chamberlain “Predator” Lawrence (who is determined to make it as a fighter) and Katherine Carrie “K.C.” who is wanting to become a teacher. She meets Chamberlain in a local rec center where she taught little girls how to dance. They fell for each other but they live different lives. K.C. is the daughter of a Senator. Where as Chamberlain grew up without his parents and is raised by a friend’s parents. Can they make it work or does something or someone stop them? This is a big question and I hope that when you read it you will find the answer. I know that I couldn’t put this book down and I am now reading book 2 of this series. I am just as hooked to find out what happens between K.C. and Chamberlain.

Casting Vows (Hearts of Gold Series) by Ariella Talix – Review by Micalah Weatherholtz

Casting Vows (Hearts of Gold Book 3)Casting Vows by Ariella Talix
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

When you pick up an Ariella Talix Historical Romance you can expect drama, trauma, intrigue, angst, strong main characters, action, suspense, love, and steam. The only thing that differs in her novels from your average romance is they usually involve three main characters, in this book it was two MMC and one FMC, Nico, Eden, and Matty. Casting Vows was no different. This is book 3 in a series, I did read book 2, but have not had a chance to read book one. The way the characters struggle with their own experiences, emotions, and traumas I love to watch them progress and grow throughout the books. I enjoy how the characters in each book stay throughout the series to come back around and support the new characters throughout their experiences, it’s not so much that you have to read them in any particular order just an added bonus if you have read previous books.

Discovering Desire (Shattered Embrace Series) by Alyndra Quinn – Review by Angela Shirley

Discovering Desire (Shattered Embrace #3)Discovering Desire by Alyndra Quinn
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

We enter back into the world of Club Shattered Embrace and oh my what a steamy world we get to see.

Derek is coming to terms with life outside of the military and has decided to delve into the Club world but when he sees Justine he has this unbelievable urge to protect her for some reason, so when she gets in the crosshairs and gets shot he decides to take her to safety in the woods where they discover the best of each other, but he also has to make the decision if he wants to take over the family business but he needs to get rid of Lucian once and for all.

Jordan is Derek’s play partner and while they are in Sub training she sees the attraction and connection between Derek and Justine but where does Jordan stand in all of this, so she has to understand what she actually wants out of the experiences.

Justine is a grad student writing her dissertation on human nature and what better way to observe is in Club Shattered Embrace but as she goes through the classes she awakens something inside of her that she was unaware of but when she is shot and is whisked away with Derek, can she keep her feelings for him hidden while she is helping him or will the Alpha in him call to her Sub.

This is the third book in the series and although the story flows well as a stand alone it is probably better for you to get the back stories about the other characters to understand some of the interaction but it is not necessary.

The chemistry from all the characters jumps off the page and have you totally engaged into the story where the sexually component and the twists and turns mould brilliantly together to give you a gripping story and well developed characters.

I love the Alpha dominance of Derek but there is also a softer side to him which melts when he is in protector mode which is just brilliant to read. Justine’s character is full of sass and determination in the end to get what she wanted which is a brilliant progression through the story.

I can’t wait to read the next instalment and other series by this wonderful author.

Casting Vows (Hearts of Gold Series Book #3) by Ariella Talix – Review by Angela Hayes

Casting Vows (Hearts of Gold Book 3)Casting Vows by Ariella Talix
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

3 – 3.5 Stars

Casting Vows is the third book in the Hearts of Gold Series by Ariella Talix. This is another steamy historical romance, with a menage/why choose (MMF/MFM) story, set in the 1880’s Los Angeles.
We are pulled into a tale of passion, angst, drama, emotion, challenges, faith, family responsibilities and obligations vs passion and love, misunderstanding, and hope.
We follow Eden Godwin, Nicolo Stark-James (Nico), and Matty Remington as they face challenges, endure, tug on our heartstrings, and heat up the pages. And while the story is my favourite of the series, so far, and had all the ingredients that I normally love to find in a story- I still failed to fully connect with the characters and their story completely. And I’m still not sure why- it must be a ‘me’ thing.
But if you love historical details and settings, menage/why choose, emotion, angst, and steam- then you will probably want to get your hands on a copy of this book to explore.
Happy Reading…

Thank you, Ariella Talix.

This was another enjoyable book by this author. I have read one other book in this series that was also a MMF romance. This story follows two good friends Nicolo Stark-James and Matty Remington. Nicolo fell for Matty in their youth and they loterally saved Matty’s life. They nursed him back to health and then he was taken away for safety. Nicolo goes on to med school to become a doctor where he meets and falls in love with Eden Godwin who is going to school to become a nurse. They return to his home to announce their engagement to his family and end up running into Matty at the local church. He finds that he still loves Matty after all this time, but he loves Eden as well. What will he do?

Book 3 in the Hearts of Gold series, Casting Vows is a fantastic story. I have not read the first 2 books and honestly have no clue who is in them or what they are about but this story is wonderful.
Nico, Eden and Matty are amazing together and I was rooting for Matty and Nico from the beginning. But add Eden into the mix and WOW. I read this book in one day, it was so hard to put it down for work.

While I did enjoy this book I have not read the series yet. I am definitely intrigued and want to read the series so it has been added to my to be read list. Blurring the Lines follows the true beginning of what happened before the band broke up. Even though they are one of the biggest bands in the world, sell millions of records, and sell out concerts they are all barely hanging on. Callum feels like he is the only one that cares and he is tired. The touring is getting to him as well so he turns to drugs for an escape. His best friend, Maverick who is also the lead singer, is worried about the path he has chosen. Killian has his own family drama going on while Sammy tries to keep everyone together. He can only do so much though and it is inevitable that things need to end. Becca is trying to get out of Chicago and aspires to have songs written about her. She doesn’t care which rockstar it is as long as she becomes immortalized in a song. I look forward to reading the series.

Discovering Desire (Shattered Embrace #3)Discovering Desire by Alyndra Quinn
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I accidentally started with this book, book 3, but you know what? I don’t regret it. Will I run and grab the first two?? Absolutely!! But not regrets! I loved this book. I defiantly wasn’t ready for it, but man by the time you get through chapter two or three you will be hooked! You meet Derek who is in a tug-a-war with a half-brother mob boss. He will do anything to keep what’s his safe. Weather they like it or not. And most of them don’t like it!! Then you shift and meet Justine, who is a college student working on a doctoral about Club Shattered Embrace and more so research into submission. Walking around a BDSM club for years doesn’t prepare her for this life style. Watching form the sidelines just won’t cut it. She never imagined where she’d be pushed and by whom that’s for sure!! Jordan is a long time switch with Derek, but has been finding that she wants more. Not necessarily more from Derek (although that could be great!), but definitely something more. When Derek’s half brother makes a poor attempt at taking a life he’s jumps into action. Calling in everyone, putting everyone on alert, and putting security on all those he holds dear. Although many are annoyed they listen as Derek tried to take on the mob boss (his half brother). Boy oh boy is this book something else! It’s hot and steamy, yes. But the development of the characters and the twists and turns keep you on edge. I can’t wait to read the rest!! You will NOT regret this book buy and I personally have already hooked a fellow book lover into this series!

The Sins of Men: An American Revolutionary War Drama
By Danny J. Bradbury

This is the first historical fiction that I have read and the first book for me by Danny J. Bradbury. I would not normally read this type of book. How ever I did enjoy the book and I would recommend it to those who like historical drama fiction. There are 83 short chapters to this book which are easy to follow. Danny J. Bradbury developed his characters well. I feel there were a couple of areas of this book that didn’t need to be as drawn out as they were, but overall the book was well written. So this book is about a 10 year old boy who in an attempt to feed his brothers and sisters picks the wrong person to try and rob. Because of this he is caught and sent before the magistrate and is sent to prison for ninety days. From there he is then made to serve the military. As I previously said this is not a book I would normally read, but because of the story line, character development I am rating this book 4 stars

I’ve read a few books by this author, and they definitely have a unique writing style that I enjoy. The way they are able to craft their mysteries is wonderful! I love it when a book can keep me on my toes and guessing the entire way through, but I am always hard-pressed to find one. I found myself unable to figure out what was going to happen as the plot thickened with twists and turns that kept me on the edge of my seat. I blew through this entire book in one day! Are you ready for an intriguing and entertaining mystery that will have you yearning for more? Look no further because this one takes the cake! I can’t wait to see what else this author has in store for us.

Love Rinkside is part of The Playmakers Series and I absolutely loved reading it. It’s a Sports Romance that will have you turning the pages till the end. The characters are fully developed, relatable and complex, they bring the story to life. I loved how at times they had me laughing so hard it was hard to breathe. It’s a fast-paced story that is light hearted at times. Drew and Katie are great, both have life issues but one fun night and things might just be going good until a dog attack. He wants another date and she’s swore off men. Can these two have a relationship with a happy ending? I highly recommend reading this book to find out what happens next.

Love Rinkside is a fun, sweet novella thats is part of the Playmakers series and such an enjoyable book to listen to. Perfect narration, the story flowed so easily and I didn’t want it to end! Drew and Katie are not looking for love in so many ways…and nothing like a Halloween costume party to start getting to know them.

Drew is all work when it comes to his IT business…focused and not looking into find a relationship. Katie sworn off men, sick of feeling used. When Drew and Katie have an interesting night at a costume party .. they decided to take a chance on a date. One date up there another things are spicy and steamy with the connections and deniable what happens when there is a little bit of bump in the road. When that develops into feelings, blurred lines … will that deter the connection between Drew and Katie… or bring them closer then they expected in so many good ways.

I definitely recommend this book to listen to. It was a great story and I look forward to listening to more of this series.

A Vampire in Disguise (Creatures of the Midwest Book 1)A Vampire in Disguise by Ava Silvers
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

A Vampire in Disguise is an unexpected gem. Definitely unique in its telling. It has been a while since a book has surprised me. At first, I thought by the cover that it was a YA story but that is not the case. It’s like Grimm meets Midnight, Texas mashed together to make one intriguing mystery paranormal tale. Two of my favourite shows. There is a plethora of characters of all shapes, sizes, and ages, they are quirky, others plain odd, some stay and have a part in the story and others just disappear from the focus, but all are supernatural’s or magical beings.
There are a few things that frustrated me, and I am hoping that they will be explained or shared in coming books but overall, I enjoyed this tale.
Hazel follows her sister to Shadow Hollow a small town where paranormal seem to gravitate to and where they guard their secrets. It’s the place Hazel is determined to find out what happened to her sister.
There is humour and wit infused along the way that made me, laugh also with a major shiver of doom to be had as you are made aware of the bad guys.
What is hidden amongst the shadows of this small town?
