Furbidden Attraction: A Cursed Romance (Raven Falls Cursed Romances Book 1) by R. O’Leary
5-Stars

Furbidden Attraction is romantic and funny. This fast paced, easy to read novel, was delightful. I could not put this novel down. Louisa and Jack were creative and fun main characters. There were several instances where the two had me literally laughing out loud. The author did a magnificent job with those two and also a wonderful job on the supporting characters . The different settings were easy to visualize and I loved the variety of animal shifters. This is the first book of this series and I highly recommend it. I can’t wait to read more from this author with this series.

    Moves by John Michael is a book I honestly wasn’t sure about ,I had some hesitation about reading but I’m glad I picked it up. Once I started reading I found myself lost in the pages and at times was on the edge of my seat trying to figure out what happens next. This a wonderfully written Book that has very well developed characters, they are relatable. Robert Jake is a man who deals with depression and has some anger because of the 18 soldiers lost under his command. Robert is also a well known radio personality and a single parent to a young girl whom he loves deeply. The murders of two innocent women and the Dallas District Attorney seem to be connected to him. Who is behind these murders? Will they be caught? Find out what happens next. I highly recommend reading this Book.View all my reviewsp

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Squall Line (The Inland Seas Series Book One) by Gwyn McNamee is a contemporary romantic suspense with a current day twist to piracy. The author opens this series with a bang setting a high speed pace that works for this novel! Grace and War are amazing characters and seeing their depth and development is amazing. This is the perfect pair to kick off this series as supporting characters are also introduced. Gwyn McNamee is a genius in her story lines and The Inland Seas series is no exception! After reading through the suspense, drama, chemistry and just desirable attributes that came forth in this initial book of the series, I can only imagine what will be delivered next!!

Hidden Magic: A Sanctuary Chronicles Novella by India Kells is a paranormal romance story that fits in perfectly within this series. I enjoyed how the author just dove in head first with this particularly story bringing forth a series of events that were energetic, high intensity but intimate and well written. Kat and Brant were magically intertwined here in the most amazing ways that created a powerful and entertaining story. Each piece that India Kells adds into this series is remarkably done and in tune with each of the individual characters and the overall theme of the series.

☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆
Lawyers, Cults, College and missing girls. The suspense just keeps coming, as well as the romance that is hot and steamy. Not for those under 18. But the rest of us can look forward to this story.

Please take the time to read book 1 and 2. You will find that all 3 books twist nicely together. The female characters in this book are strong as well as Feisty. The rollercoaster you are about to take, will keep you on the edge of your seat. No Spoilers here!!!!

Seelie Kay has written this fast paced, suspenseful romance. The book is well written and full of action. She knows the law and has used her knowledge to write her stories. I can tell she loves writing the books, as it shows in her books. I’m looking forward to reading more from this author. Way to write it Seelie Kay!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Shattered by Via Mari
Four Stars

Shattered is the first book in the Torzial Affair series by Via Mari. The Torzial Affair is a spin of the Prestian Series. I highly recommend you read The Prestian Series first because it will give you the background on all of the characters featured in this book. Shattered had me hooked from the very first page and I couldn’t put it down until I read the last. This is Jenny and Brian’s story. It is full of action and the chemistry they have is off the charts. The story flowand I couldn’t believe I came to the end as soon as I did. I can’t wait to read the next book in this series. If you like Billionaire book this is the perfect book to read.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Shattered is the opening to Via Mari’s Torzial Affair series that is a spinoff of her Prestian series. I suggest you read that series before you immerse yourself into the Torzial Affair series! I know, you could read it as a standalone but you will get so much more out of it if you have read the Prestian series prior. There is some overlap at the end of the first series timewise but Torzial Affair is a totally different story!
Torzian Affair is the story of Jenny and Brian and Shattered is the beginning of it. We have two wounded hearts that have built walls around themselves, for different reasons but still … Via Mari gives us a very intense and steamy romance that touches on some very sensitive and touchy topics – rape, domination and submission …
I loved the opening and I cannot wait for the next step in their relationship!

The Embers We Seek (A Rebel Princess Serial, #1)The Embers We Seek
By: Acacia K. Parker
My Rating: 5 of 5 stars

The Embers We Seek (A Rebel Princess Serial, #1) by Acacia K. Parker was a gripping read that had me hooked from start to finish.

My first read from this author I was drawn to this book by its beautiful cover, fairy tale retelling status, and the raving reviews. I was not disappointed in the least, this book delivered what it entailed, and I had this short powerful book read in one sitting.

Coming in at a whopping 58 pages, this book maybe low on the word count, but it is powerful. To the point, no fluff, no filler this book has everything you want and more in an epic fairy tale retelling. There is one point where I’m so engrossed that I forgot that this book is full length, the battler is under way, and the hellhounds are burning the place down, and our MC Wren learns is a heart breaking way that magic comes with a price. I loved that bittersweet ending, and the promise of more to come.

Overall this book is a must read, and it will be told it 10 parts, and according to the author a new serial will be released the last full week of every month, the next one coming on June 27th. I’m definitely going to be keeping a look out for the next instalment, because I believe this series if going to be something special.

So with all that said, please take my super high recommendation and my stamp of approval, that you will love this epic dark fairy tale retelling, and you will not be able to look at Cinderella the same way again.

Happy Reading

4 Stars

This is a short novella that is part of the Sanctuary Chronicles. The love between Brant and Kat is strong but seeing as he is a werelynx and Kat a human, it is forbidden by the High Council. They have kept their relationship secret until Kat is kidnapped. Brant is forced to come clean because he needs help from his friends at the Sanctuary. Will they be able to save Kat in time before Brant loses the other half of his soul?

Though it’s a short book, it is packed with action and intrigue. There is a really cool battle scene and the author throws in quite a few surprises. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book and look forward to reading more stories about our friends at the Sanctuary.

Moves by John Michaels is a gripping story that will have you hooked from the word go. This book kept me on the edge of my seat and desperate to know how it was going to end – which was brilliant!
As a new author to me I didn’t know what to expect going into this book but what I found was strong character development, intricate storylines and a book I just could not put down. This was one of those book that I would read “just a few chapters of” and before I knew it I had finished it.
I was really taken by the main character Robert Jake. I though the author did an amazing job at building the connection between me and the author and him as the character. I was invested in him and his story. I wanted him to find his version of a happy ending. I wanted him to be able to put the past behind him.
This was a very well written and intriguing book. I cannot wait to read more by this author in the future.

Behind Blue Eyes (Stockholm Murders Book 1) by CS Duffy. Holy Moly! I’ve never read this author before but I’m so excited to have found her. All I can say is when you start this book, you better sit down and hold on, its a wild ride! Its the story of Investigative Reporter Ellie who has packed up her life in London to move to Sweden to be with the man of her dreams Johan. She thinks she knows everything about Johan and that he’s the man for her. When she moves to Sweden she thinks her life is perfect until she stumbles over a decomposing body and gets thrown into the middle of a murder mystery in a Country where she knows no one and doesn’t even speak the language. She finds out that Johan and his friends may have a lot more information about the dead body than they are letting on. Will Ellie find out Johan and his friends are terrible people or will the truth of Johan’s past come out and set the record straight? This book reminded me of Gone Girl (which I loved) and I’m so excited its a series!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Obsessed by J. Collins is the first book in the Lila Casey Series. I found this book to be a quick an easy read but enjoyable nonetheless.
Although I find this type of story to be a little over saturated nowadays I though this author did really well to keep it fresh and interesting. Although it was, in one way, a typical vampire story, it didn’t feel like I was reading something I had read a million times. It has a good story line and great characters.
There were times when Lila got on my nerves a little but the more the story went on the more I warmed to her. Her character was really developed well as the book progressed. This was a new author to me and I enjoyed the way they put together the overall arc of the book. This is someone I will definitely be reading more of in the future, starting with the next in this series.

I am just hooked. This is the third book by this author I have read and I just couldn’t put it down. The author has really got such a refreshing style. The characters just jump right off the pages. I felt as though I was right in the action as the drama unfolds.

I really find that I am drawn to Dahlia’s character. The way that the book unfolds just draws you deeper and deeper into the story. I really like that it is a supernatural mystery. The mix of human and supernatural beings just adds to the story. The partnership of Dahlia and Creed really adds to the drama. Evens being a human and coping in the Supernatural world is just another added bonus. I really like how the author draws out the drama and the mystery . I will definitely be reading more from this author and I hope this series in the future.

Saint Code: Lost by Megan Mackie is the fourth book in the Lucky Devil Series. This book can be read as a standalone although I would highly recommend you giving this whole series a try!
This series honestly just gets better. While the previous book wasn’t my absolute favourite this one, for me, is definitely on top form. The whole universe this author has created is so captivating. I always find it so easy to slip right back into the series. St Augustine was brilliant. I really felt like I connected with her from the moment I was introduced to her character. This story just enhances that whole connection.
For me this whole series has been completely unique and interesting. I love the combination of themes and how well it has been done. Each book is well paced, with a strong storyline that carries throughout. Megan Mackie is an author who has quickly become a must read for me. I would urge everyone to pick up her books.

Steele Resolve: A Hawke Family Novel by Gwyn McNamee is the sixth book in the Hawke Family series. This is a series that will have you hooked immediately and each book just seems to get better.
When I read this book I didn’t both t read the blurb or look at the cover at all so was initially shocked to realise it was the M/M book that I had been dying to read. These characters have had their story bubbling away in the background for ages and I was so excited to finally get my hands on it.
I absolutely loved the two of them together. I honestly couldn’t say which one of them I preferred. They were perfectly compatible together in a way that just sucked me right in. The story was not disappointing either. This is one author I have come to expect high quality work from because time and time again she delivers, which is exactly what happened again this time.
This was a brilliant way to end this series, although I am sad there won’t be more to come. I can’t wait to see what Gwyn McNamee does next.

We’ve been through so much from the very beginning and while I had my reservations about Luca, this story did him justice. I cant imagine how hard it is to keep your worlds separated and make everyone happy.
And Byron, oh the turmoil he was in for the situation.

This, like all the books in this series, grabs you from the get go and doesn’t let up until the end. If you haven’t read this series yet, start at the beginning or everything will not make sense and also spoil alot!

Salty Sebastian (Smirk Series Book 3)Salty Sebastian by Jen Luerssen
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Salty Sebastian is the 3rd book in the Smirk Series by Jen Luerssen. I had never previously read any books by this author before this and wasn’t aware when I started that there were 2 books that came before it. Each book in the series can be read as a stand-alone although the same group of friends appear in each book. I certainly didn’t feel like I was missing any important information when reading this one, although I’m now intrigued as to what went on before. Although I’d like to read the previous book, I’m sure they are going to have a hard job living up to Sebastian and Kit as I loved their story.
Salty Sebastian is a contemporary romance that will have you in fits of laughter in many parts. I absolutely adored the interaction with Kit and her 2 dads Peyton and Sig. They really have no filter and are quite happy to discuss their own sex life and that of their daughter, much to the horror of Kit many times.
A bit of background to the story – Kit and Sebastian meet and have a wild passionate night in Vegas but don’t as much as exchange their names with each other. Fast forward 2 years and Kit is hired as an intern in Sebastian’s wine business. Let’s just say that their night 2 years previously has never left either of their minds and has changed both their lives in many ways.
Can Sebastian and Kit take up where they left off, considering that Sebastian is now her boss? Is Sebastian willing to let a woman get close to him after he has sworn off relationships when he discovered his long term girlfriend with another guy?

I could literally read India Kells writing all day every day. Every book I read by her reels me in even further.

This was a short quick read and still felt like a full length novel because of the content. I fell in love with these characters and love the whole vibe with everyone at the Sanctuary. Kat’s story had me on the edge of my seat because it was so different and I loved how Brant was determined to take care of her and his realization of what she meant to him was written beautifully.

I highly recommend reading all of these books in order so you have all of the characters stories up to this point, it just adds to this one that much more.

I have never read anything by Via Mari prior to reading Shattered and OMG I have to go read all of her works!

This is about Jenny and Brian. I will say it could be a trigger from some but the author wrote it so beautifully (best way I can describe it) and not in a brutal way. She has literally been through so much that you would think it would just break her but she is the owner of her own consulting company. Brian is an heir to the Carrington Steel company. He feels that women only want him for one thing she he guards his heart. Their two very different worlds are about to come together and take you on one heck of a rollercoaster ride!

This book grabbed me from the very beginning and it still hasn’t let me go. I’m so excited to read more!

By: Gwyn McNamee
5 out of 5 stars

The story Steele Resolve (The Hawke Family Book 6) by Gwyn McNamee is an M/M romantic suspense book. It is a story that hooked me in from the beginning and didn’t let me go until I had finished the last page. I loved reading about the characters of Luca “Steele” Abello and Byron Harris. Luca is a man who wants to make his own way in life. He is starting over his way. Then he meets Byron. Byron is a man who is intelligent, determined, and loyal. He is also feeling guilt over the man he can’t stop thinking about after he learns of his true identity. There is an attraction between Luca and Byron. Will they take a chance and perhaps find something more together? Or is their situation too complicated to work? What does the future hold for Luca and Byron? Read this book to find out. This story is both intense and emotional. There are romantic moments as well as times when I wondered what was going to happen next. I grew to care about Byron and Luca with each chapter that I read and you can’t help but want them to be happy. I enjoyed that some of the characters from the previous books made an appearance in this one. This is a series that should be read in order to understand situations and also enjoy the characters. I have to say that the author has created a book, series, and characters that are awesome and amazing. The characters come to feel like family and I really cared about what happened to them. The stories had me hooked and I got lost in the pages. This is a book and series that I would highly recommend reading.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I am a huge fan of vampire stories. So picking this up was a no-brainer for me. I loved the quick romance of the two main characters. The story has its ups and downs. Parts I struggled with…others I didn’t want to put it down. I did read it fairly quickly. The characters were annoying, secretive and silly. I even chuckled and snickered a few times (Thanks Shane and Tatum!)

I liked where this is going but the inner dialogue of Lila got old after a while. She almost sounded like a teenager with some of the things rambling through her brain. Not counting what came out of her mouth. Now with that being said on the second half of the book…it’s like she grew and became not so annoying. While Adam is her guy I enjoyed her interactions with Tatum the best.

Easily the second half of the book was much more enjoyable. Once the other vampires started showing up and there were more interactions. It became fabulous! I loved all of them with their quirks and eagerly look forward to more stories with all the secondary characters. Even Nick!

Enemies of the DesertEnemies of the Desert by Lisette Kristensen
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This picks up about a month after the last book. In this story we get to hang out with old friends and meet some new ones. With that being said I would recommend reading the previous books in the series to see how Blackbird became a Mossad and how she is moving forward. This one isn’t as full of action as the last book. It seems to be showing a softer side of Blackbird and Even Halo. Which is nice but when business time arrives everyone switches gears. There is a baddie that shows up again in this book. We have met her previously and I really don’t like her. She is Evil incarnate.

This is another good book for this series. I could see Blackbird struggle a bit in this one with a few different things. Trust is a hard commodity to come by in her new world as it was in her old world. I am always impressed at her ingenuity when different situations arise.
