Kingdom of WarKingdom of War by Tricia Copeland
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is a young adult paranormal story that is full of action, vampires, magic and a few others that I had a hard time putting down. I enjoyed this creative, engaging story with characters that bring the story to life. It is told in the POV of Hunter who is a great character that took me on a roller coaster of emotions. He is a leader who struggles with himself on his powers. His journey is full of twists and turns that you don’t want to miss. I highly recommend this book.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is an interesting book about a girl and bees. I was pulled in from the beginning and it held my attention until the last page. I enjoyed the character development as they are creative and supportive. Mielitta is a young girl who has been bullied and tries to find refuge in the forbidden forest. As she explores the forest, she comes across some bees. As they make her one of their own, this is where her journey begins. I didn’t regret picking this book up, I highly recommend reading it.

This story is creative, engaging and is serious in parts but also has a humorous side to it too. The characters are relatable and had me sitting on the edge of my seat a few times waiting to see what they would do next. It is foretold that Henry will suffer a cruel death but a spark of hope that he will find happiness. I enjoyed watching his journey from a distance. I found myself hoping he would have a successful life but you have to read this book to find out. I highly recommend this book.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is my first book by this author, I enjoyed it from beginning to end. I enjoyed being pulled into the story right from the start. It is a well developed story that has a supernatural element to it. A hotel looks normal but the problem is, it has secrets like supernatural battles. Link and Ommily have a connection from the time they meet. One engaged, the other has a crazy ex. Their journey is one of romance and action, you won’t regret picking it up. I highly recommend their story.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Dread by Jeff Wade is a short psychological, horror story. This story starts with Frank wakes up and feels like he is in a coffin but what is really going on? I really liked the level of description and the depth of the story especially considering the length of the story. The story has twists and turns to keep me on the edge of my seat while I was reading. This was a good read and I read it in one sitting. I look forward to picking up more from this author in the future.

Saint Code: Lost: Book Four of the Lucky Devil Series
by Megan Mackie

This book is definitely an action packed, suspenseful all around great read. This book can be read as a standalone but it is my opinion that you read them all in order. St. Augustina is a character that I couldn’t get enough of. She’s tough, smart and savvy. This book took me where I never expected to go, you will have to read it to find out what I mean by that. As soon as I started reading this story I was hooked, I was brought into a world that I couldn’t get out of till I reached the end. This was exceptionally well written and had plenty going on throughout the entire read, there was never a dull moment that’s for sure. There are also some really great secondary characters in this read. I can’t wait to read what’s next. I highly recommend this book.

Never Let Me Go (Bayou Devils MC Book 6) by A.M Myers
4 Stars

This is book six in the Bayou Devils MC series. This series keeps getting better and better. This story can be read as a stand-alone but I highly suggest that you read the others as well. I loved every single one of them. A.M Myers has become one of my favourite authors. I love her style of writing. She knows how to pull you in and keep you hooked until the very end. Her characters are lovable and relatable. This book is no different.

Juliette was in a serious accident that took the life of her father and her memory of the last five years. Imagine waking up and not even recognizing your fiancé! As much as she tried, she felt too alone. Juliette decided to go back to the Bayou; back to a place she could remember that she called home. Her friend sent Sawyer to pick her up and the connection is instant.

Sawyer is another sexy, alpha biker with a heart of gold. He meets Juliette and the chemistry blows him away. Though he’s been through a slew of bad relationships, he knows Juliette is different. He also knows that she’s hiding something. After a few attempts on her life, Juliette is forced to come clean. To put it lightly, Sawyer was not impressed.

The story is filled with twists and turns, suspense and romance. I loved this book and believe you will too.

RETURN (Rewind Book 2) by Rowan Shaw – Review by Kerry Baker

Return (Rewind #2)Return by Rowan Shaw
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Return by Rowan Shaw is the second book in the Rewind series. This book can be read as a standalone. Although it is clear from the blurb I want to point out this is a M/M book so if this isn’t your kind of thing you should be cautious, although I would still recommend giving it a go.
I really enjoyed reading about Adrien and Raphaël. They were the type of characters that, initially, I wasn’t sure if I felt the connection between them. Then, suddenly, you read a single page and BAM everything slots into place. After that I found I could not stop reading about them.
Their story was enjoyable and very relatable, which is nice in this type of book. Too often I find that an author tries too hard to create “real” characters in a M/M romance and falls short. But in this book it was easy to see them as real people.
Overall this was a very enjoyable book with great characters and good development. I would definitely recommend you give this a go.

The Brass Compass: A Novel by Ellen Butler – Review by Elizabeth Sanchez

The Brass CompassThe Brass Compass by Ellen Butler
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The Brass Compass by Ellen Butler was AMAZING! It is a historical fiction book inspired by real characters and events, but adapted into a fictional story. By the end I was fully invested in the characters and their futures. The imagery used to describe the horrific events and scenes of WWII Germany were wonderfully written. I could envision the scenes unfolding before me as I continued through the chapters.
The book follows Lily St. James, an American spy from her teens into her early twenties. Shortly after leaving Finishing School, she wants to do her part to help the war effort. She finds herself joining the OSS, to become a spy. She is sent to Germany to infiltrate a ranking officer’s house and collect Intel. After things go badly, and her cover may be compromised, she must go on the run. We follow her throughout Germany and Switzerland as she try to escape the Nazi and SS troops, in order to get her vital information to the Allies. She makes friends along the way, and they continue to resurface as the story continues and she is sent on more missions. Will she make it back home to America safely, to reunite with her father? Read and find out. Highly recommend this book!

Saint Code: Lost is the fourth book in the Lucky Devil Series by Megan Mackie. Although this book is the fourth in the series it set before the other books in the series, so it can be read as a stand alone. I highly recommend you read the whole series because they are all fabulous. This is not my usual genre, but the writing, and world building just sucked me right in. St. Augustine is such a strong character, I fell in love with her right from the start. The action and adventure was non stop throughout the whole story, and I couldn’t believe that the end came so soon. I highly recommend this story to everyone, even if this is not a genre that you would normally read, because it is very entertaining and well worth your time. I can’t wait to see where Ms. Mackie takes us next.

Rewind by Rowan Shaw – Review by Heather Bass

Rewind (Rewind #1)Rewind by Rowan Shaw
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is the first book I have read from this author and now she has a new fan. I have never read an m/m book before and I’m glad I did. I fell in love with these men right from the beginning. This is the first book of the Rewind Deut. I could not put this book down for anything. It only took me a couple of hours to devour this amazing book.

Enzo’s life changed the day he lost his hearing. He had to start his life all over. Enzo has to fight for everything that he wants and needs. He doesn’t let anyone or anything tear him down except the man that broke his heart long ago. Enzo now has a new life and man that doesn’t treat him right. He is in complete shock when he runs into Florian. Enzo feels that chemistry from all those years ago. Florian has a great business. He has the best life but things start to crash down around him. Florian is also shocked when he sees Enzo but their history is not good. Deep down Florian feels something for Enzo but is it too late?

I absolutely loved this book. The storyline has it all romance, suspense, and forgiveness. You can’t help but to fall in love with these characters. Enzo is a good man that has some difficult times in his life. He has walls up that is from his past. Florian is very handsome with a good head on his shoulders. He knows what he wants but is it right for him. These characters have some steamy scenes that might not be for some readers. This talented author brought up some strong issues but she wrote them in a very tasteful manner. I can’t wait to see what is next for these unforgettable characters.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Return is the second book in the Rewind series. It can be read as a standalone.

Oh, my heart! I think I loved this book more than the first one, and the first one was really good. I knew Raphael’s story was going to be spectacular and this book did not disappoint. I absolutely loved the Adrien character and the dynamic that develops between him and Raphael. I was so into this book that I read it in one day. Just fair warning, parts of it will wreck you a bit on the way to the end of the story.

I don’t know what is planned for this series, how many books there might be ultimately, but I hope at some point to have a story about Noah. He caught my attention in this book, and even though he’s in a relationship, it seems like there could be more of a story there. I want more of him!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Hidden Magic by India Kells a five-star read that you won’t want to hide form. This is a novella in the Sanctuary Chronicles series, this could be read as stand-alone but the whole series is worth reading. Be warned you will not want to put this down once you start it, so don’t plan on reading a few pages before bed as you will not be sleeping in half and hour. You get gripped by this story from the first page, the characters will suck you in Kat and Brant will surprise you with how quickly you care for them, how quickly your stomach is dropping and sinking with anxiety when things go wrong. I’m not going to spoil the story, as it’s so worth reading.

The Brass CompassThe Brass Compass by Ellen Butler
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

A great read about espionage. Lily St James is a World War Two spy passing information about German colonels to members in the Resistance. But when her informant is taken hostage by he SS, she is forced to go on the run. With the SS at her heels, she keeps going across Germany. Whilst on the run, she does her bit for the war effort and discovers friends and foes alike on the way. Can she survive long enough to make a difference?
A great read. Well developed plot with twists and turns.. Well developed characters like Lily doing what she feels is right but vulnerable underneath. Great cast of supporting characters like te sweet Magda or
I loved the visual detail throughout the novel like with the moon on the forest with its trees in the snow, magical and a safe space for Lily. Or Fraudenstadt with its sense of a small town with its cobbled streets and small shops with the townhouse and everyone knows each other, for a sense of comfort and danger wonderfully written.
The use of the first person worked well to display Lilys journey and siaply her thoughts and feelings. The use of dates and locations was a great addition to give the reader a clear sense of the time period and geography. The glossary was a nice touch, helping the reader understand terms but may have been more useful at the start of the book. I also liked the use of languages in the novel giving it a sense of culture
The use of memories also helped to display how times had changed for Lily and the simplesafety of life in the past contrasting with the danger of the present, wonderfully written. However, it sometimes had abrupt switches from the past and present and hard to follow.
The only issue I would raise is that there were a lot of long sentences that were hard to read and could have been resolved with a variety of sentence lengths to captivate the reader into the action. Overall, a great read and I would give it four stars.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Steele Resolve by Gwyn McNamee a five-star read that will tempt your resolve. This is number six in the Hawke Family series and it really is best to read them in order as you would kick yourself if you don’t, it’s that good a series, they are each like a petal of a flower, beautiful an powerful in their own right, but together a thing of beauty. Luca ‘Steele’ does the impossible and makes you fall in love with him even though he really is a man to be hated. I would recommend this novel to people who don’t read M/M as even though it’s a story about two men fighting for more than what happens between the sheets, it’s also a powerful love story that happens to feature two men falling in love, the rest of the story is so much more than what happens between the sheets. This is a deep and emotional story and one that you will enjoy for long after you finish the story.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I give An Unexpected Sequel (Paranormal Talent Agency Book 4) by Heather Silvio, 4 stars.

Robin is a minion for a low level demon in Las Vegas. The demon got her out of a bad time in her life and she is grateful for that. Most in the supernatural community know who she works for and avoids her. But she has accepted her fate. Until the demon asks something of her that she cannot do — kill someone named Jackson. After she meets him, she is even more sure that she cannot do it. But what will be the cost of refusing? And this attraction between Robin and Jackson — is it real? Does he feel the same?

This is the fourth book in the series, and if you have read any of the books before, you will remember Robin. I admit, I didn’t really have an interest in knowing more about her. However, once I started reading this book, I could not stop! There is much more to Robin than what I previously thought. But this is not just about her. There is plenty of action also going on, not to mention Jackson is an interesting character himself.

This book fits in wonderfully with the series. It can be read as a standalone, but you will understand so much more if you read books 1-3 first. I highly recommend this book is you like fun paranormal romance with some action thrown in.

RETURN (Rewind Book 2) by Rowan Shaw – Review by Lisa Helmick

Return (Rewind #2)Return by Rowan Shaw
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

While i ended up loving this book at first I really was feeling very little to no connection to either character while I was reading. Raphaël was living in his own world with little to no interaction with Adrien. Adrien was so closed off and gave minimal information about himself. Little bits and pieces were fed to us along the way but once Adrien opened up to Raphaël all things changed. I was *FLOORED* over what came out of his mouth. When he freaked out on Raphaël with his verbal diarrhea…the pieces finally made sense. The friendship started from there with undercurrents of something else. From that point on i was easily hooked on these two characters.

This is the second book in this series and by this author for me. I liked getting to know Raphaël more and meeting Adrien. Adrien’s life..I can’t even imagine… but i think he is happy with it to an extent. There are some things missing from his life and once Raphaël shows up things start to change inside him.

All of the secondary characters were good. They fit in perfectly with the story and held their places. I loved seeing Raphaël’s parents again. They are truly wondrous!

My only issue with the book was I did have a few moments when I had to google to figure out what a few items and terms were. So maybe the author could have included an explanation when it was first mentioned to help any confusion to any reader.

I see Parker’s story is next! I can’t imagine what is in store for him!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I really enjoyed this story. Its a heartwarming tale about love between to guys and all the trouble and horrible attitudes they have to face just for falling for someone of the same sex.

Florian and Enzo were lovers in high school but because of the attitudes of their family and peers they kept their relationship secret until an attack on Enzo changed both their lives forever.

Years passed and they meet again in a bar and both find out that the past was what neither of them believed it to be.

After all this time their love was still strong and and they were stronger to face anything that was thrown at them because of their sexuality.

We finally get this story! I will not be naming any names in this review, as it is not given away in the synopsis and also at the authors request in the book itself, as not to spoil the surprise of who this is about.

I will say this is hands down, one of my favorites of this whole MC series, including the Tucson Chapter books.
This started off in such a way I wasn’t expecting and my goodness the punches just kept coming. I was so glad to see some of my favorites in this book, as in previous books of the Colorado Chapter.
Ive not read a book with a female main character quite like this one and I was so glad she was a strong and independent woman.

If you take anything away from this mostly vague review, its to read the book. You won’t be disappointed. Another great one by this amazing author!

The Last DanceThe Last Dance by Lonna Enox
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The Last Dance (The Sorrel Janes Mysteries) by Lonna Enox is a compelling and chilling story that is also a sweet romance. This is my first read by this author and let me tell you I was very impressed by the way Lonna wrote, the way the story flowed and the way the plot pulled it all together. From the very beginning I was drawn in to the mystery and the chilling murders it is thrilling. I was pumped and my mind was racing and I was often on the edge of my seat. To say I sat and read every detail in one sitting is not entirely true because I was often up and pacing whilst reading. But let’s not forget there were some fun times as well.

Sorrel thought starting over in a new town would be easy and she never expected to be embroiled in murders and find someone who may just make her happy.

It was very cleverly done and I can not recommend it enough to you all.

You don’t have to read the other books first but ​I recommend that you do because the characters are seen in the other books. The world that Megan has created is a complicated web and it took me a while to sort it all in my head and had to re-read some parts to get it straight it is still a story that I could not put down.

St. Augustine is one character that is sassy and a take no prisoners woman and the detail is vivid and draws you in. I won’t reveal any more because you need to read it for yourself.

It is a well written, action-packed read that will have you on the edge of your seat the entire time with the twists and turns that continuously have you turning the pages for more. This is a psychological thriller that at times is so believable that you think you are experiencing what the characters are at the same time, as though you are really there.
This is a quick read but is defiantly not lacking in action, imaginative descriptions and real emotions. I’m surprised I enjoyed this book as much as I did as I don’t normally read a lot of this genre, but boy oh boy do I recommend this read! You will not want to miss it.

Sasha is a Russian ballerina who has ties to the mafia; she also thinks she’s unlovable. Can Jay make her see that he will do anything for her and love her the way she is meant to be? If you haven’t read Via’s other series, that’s okay each series can be read as standalone. But I recommend that you go read them.

Wayward is the first of Via Mari’s newest series, the Billionaire Bodyguards. If you haven’t had the pleasure of reading anything from Ms. Mari, a little note, this is the spin-off series to her previously released Prestien Series and has some of the fabulous characters that came from them present. I don’t think its necessarily necessary to read those novels first, but I truly think that it enhanced my enjoyment and just made me even more of a fan of these fab people. I don’t think you would be disappointed one bit if you started from the beginning.

Now in this book we get the hot and steamy back stories of Jay and Sasha. I really grew to adore Sasha. Admittedly, I was skeptical that I could like her just based off of her character portrayal in previous novels, but man did Via Mari turned my opinion around right away. I truly love each of the backdrops and the way that Via makes you feel as if you are right there with the characters and enjoying each lavish scene around them right at the same time. Her writing is still strong, detailed, and gripping, only growing stronger with each book. I can’t wait to see what will come next for these fabulous characters that I have grown to love so much!

A High Price to Pay (The Madeline Dawkins Series Book 2) by Cynthia Hamilton is a four star novel. Madeline is an event planner and also now a private investigator. Even though this is the second book of the series, I didn’t think it was necessary to have to read the first one first. The first one would give you extra insight into the characters of the novel, but isn’t necessary to understand what is going on. I loved how the author is able to give you just enough information that the characters are being developed and it isn’t redundant from the first novel. First jewels are stolen while a big wedding is being prepared, then a character is being released from prison early, then things progress from there. I loved how it just progresses from one thing onto the next to the next. There is never a dull moment in this novel.

Steele Resolve (The Hawke Family Book 6) by Gwyn McNamee is a five star novel. I have loved every minute of reading the Hawke Family series and am so sad that it is now over! Please read the first books of this series before you read this one because the character development done in the first part of the series is crucial to really being able to enjoy this book in all of its gloriousness. Steele is part of the wrong side according to the Hawke’s but when one of their men fall in love with him, they know that something is about to change. Byron has been a part of the Hawke Family for years, taking care of them like he was born to do it. They have accepted him until his new secret is about to come out. He is t sure the Hawke’s are going to take it well and hopes that he will still have a job when he discloses this new information about himself. The biggest hurdle is that the man he fell in love with will be hard to be accepted by the Hawke’s because of their bad blood in the past.
