Give Us Bad Boys & Billionaires by L.M. Mountford is a compilation of many spicy short stories that cater to all types of kinks and sinful desires. If you enjoy in-depth sexy adventures with well-developed characters and plots, this book just might tickle your fantasies. Despite being short, each story is descriptive with believable characters and scenarios. Although not every story particularly appealed to me personally, I still found an aspect in each story that I found enjoyable that keep the pages turning!

It Comes From Within, by Naomi Valkyrie, is the second book to the House Valdis series. I highly recommend reading the first book prior to beginning this story, along with the short prequel House of Valdis Origins: Xenobia, as it gives you a comprehensive look into Xenobia’s former life. The author struck gold again with It Comes From Within. I felt like this story held up very strong alongside the previous book, which I also very much enjoyed. The creativity put into crafting this world of Xenobia and her friends held me captive from beginning to end. There are a lot of elements weaved into the story, which surely can appeal to many types with genre preferences. I highly recommend to anyone who enjoys a book full of fantasy and adventure showcasing an exciting storyline with well-developed characters. I will be keeping an eye out for another installment!

The Rise of House Valdis is my second time reading work from author Naomi Valkyrie. I started with the prequel to this story, House Valdis Origins: Xenobia. While not ‘necessary’ to read the prequel to this book, it was a quick read and I think worth it to really get to know the background of the main character, Xenobia.
I loved the way this story came together. With the descriptions, character developments and getting different points of view of the characters involved, it was so easy to feel the same feelings with them. The pages didn’t stop turning. This story seemed to have a little bit of everything! The author is incredibly imaginative and keeps you locked in until the end. I highly recommend to book lovers who love a strong female lead, where supernatural fantasy meets with sci-fi. It works!

House of Valdis Origins: Xenobia by Naomi Valkyrie is a short prequel to The Rise of House Valdis and gives the reader a close look at the reality Xenobia faces as a slave. Held captive under many rules, the slaves have to be extremely careful what they do or say, otherwise they face severe punishments. Xenobia does not trust anyone or being close to people, except for her roommate, Urd. When they are sold to a new master, things really take a turn for them both and not in the best of ways.
Although a very fast read, this story was well-written and packed with a lot of details to give a good look into Xenobia’s earlier life. If you like tension and adventure, I highly recommend taking time to read this quick prequel!
Deja Brew All Over Again by Sylvie Stewart is the third book to the Love On Tap series, and possibly my favorite! I am undecided but I loved them all to be honest. This story gives us a good look at the youngest Brooks brother, Miller (the little rascal!), and Maisy. Poor Miller is constantly trying to do the right thing throughout all the books, and he just can’t seem to find much luck. Then he is nominated as Maisy’s runaway car from her would-be wedding and a fun rollercoaster unfolds from there. This story had me laughing a lot. I loved the antics, the evident chemistry, but also the story had a realness to it. Bear, Maisy’s brother was a highlight as well! The characters have their share of flaws, but there is so much more depth to them. I definitely recommend reading all the books to the series. You could read as a standalone, but I personally feel it’s worth reading them as a series!

Smooth Hoperator by Sylvie Stewart is the second installment to the Love on Tap series. This story circles barkeeper Carter and Sunny the librarian whose personality clearly matches her namesake. Their characters were very well fleshed out as complete opposites, but they jive in a way that kept me wanting more. The chemistry between these two really had me turning the pages. They both want changes in their lives and agree to help one another, but little did they know where it would take them. I adored this story, and the writing. It was a great addition to the series and I loved getting a peek into another Brooks brother’s life. I am highly anticipating the next book!

Ale’s fair in Love and War by Sylvie Stewart, is a deliciously steamy romantic comedy that centers around a bar owner named Cash and his business neighbor, Hollis, who runs a dog groomer shop next door. And while he cannot get enough of teasing her and making her miserable at times, he also can’t seem to get her off his mind. And the feeling is mutual. But when the bar is suddenly under the radar of a health inspector and Hollis comes to his aid, Cash cannot help but think it’s her guilty conscience fueling her desire to help when things get very deep for Cash and his family business.
I loved the antics between these two. The character flaws and insights to their thoughts and feelings really helped to tie this story up very well for me. It had me laughing and wanting to smack them upside the head at the same time. Great writing, great storyline. Definitely recommend if you enjoy a good, spicy rom-com.

The Befallen, by Cambria Williams is a thrilling fantasy story. Sloane, who just wishes to not be invisible, embarks on a journey alone that her father would normally accompany her on. However, he cannot come this time and she has to be strong and go by herself. Sloane is disabled from a birth defect, but she doesn’t want to be special, just seen as a person. When she returns, things are not how she expected them to be. Tolvar has not had it easy but upon crossing paths with Sloane, he acquires to be better.
I absolutely loved Sloane and her strength. I felt the characters were well written and the depth of the development had me turning pages until the very end. I highly recommend and although this was my first book by Cambria Williams, I would not hesitate to pick up another story by this author!

A Journey for Dorothy by P. Creeden is the 8th book to The Reluctant Wagon Train Bride series. Dorothy is a volunteer nurse after 25 years of working in the nursing field. Her husband has passed away several years prior and her only companion has been her faithful dog, Scout, whom she enjoys roaming the land with. An opportunity arises for her to move westward on the wagon train heading to Oregon, and she wants to go. But the thing she has been avoiding since the loss of her husband is her only ticket to make this new life possible.
Reverend Elias Stone’s faith calls him to travel from Tennessee to the west to bring aid to lost souls. Dangers along the way lead him to Dorothy and the two of them entwining in what they plan to be a short-lived relationship of sorts. But is that really want destiny has in store for them?
I really adored the strength both characters displayed and trusting in their faith to guide them on their adventure to a new life. Beautifully descriptive, characters were well developed and yet seemed to continue their growth on their journey. For a feel-good, sweet adventure, this story was very enjoyable to read and would recommend to anyone who enjoys historical, clean romance.

Auctioned Surrender by Via Mari is the second book to the Sinful Duets series and is a combined book hosting both Auctioned and Relentless.
Auctioned is centered around Bryanna, Jenny Torzial’s young niece and Damian, a bodyguard who is on a mission to extract Bryanna safely from the clutches of sex trafficking world. But an even darker threat is lurking if Bryanna isn’t extracted soon. There is an enormous amount of attraction between the two of them, but things are very complicated. Damien clearly wants her, but she feels compelled to protect her family.
I loved the characters in this story. The world Bryanna lives in is terrifying, but the author did such a beautiful job with keeping everything realistic, yet sensitive.
Relentless follows the story of Dereck and Layla. Dereck is an undercover bodyguard who is put on an assignment that requires him to seek information from Layla. When he accidentally puts her into a potentially dangerous situation, it becomes his mission to help keep her safe. It doesn’t take long before Dereck is completely enamored by this beautiful woman and while he ultimately wants to protect her, he has a lot of desires to dominate this beauty.
If you enjoy lots of suspense, steamy dom/sub romance with fantastic characters, I definitely recommend! I suggest you start from the beginning. While you could technically read these as standalones, the stories to tie in with many repeat characters.

Whispered Surrender by author Via Mari is the first book of Sinful Duets, which is a combination of Wayward and Undercover. Two books in one? Yes please!
Wayward captures the story of Jay, the lead of a billionaire’s advanced security team, and Sasha, a ballet dancer who finds herself in some dark predicaments that Jay tries his best to protect her from. Although Jay is instantly attracted to her beauty and feels a deep connection to her, Sasha has incredibly low self-esteem and struggles with believing anyone could really truly care about her the way she wants to be. Jay’s dominating personality makes it hard for her to decipher his true feelings but I think as a reader, you know he is really is falling for her. She keeps trying to push him away as there are more secrets hiding in the dark.
While I did not feel much relatability to either character here in the beginning, I still appreciated the story and kept the pages turning. Eventually I did enjoy these characters more as the story continued to unfold. I think the jumping back and forth between their points of view and experiencing the scenarios from both of their view really helped me to understand the characters more. It really added extra depth to the story. And of course, I loved the steamy bits!
Undercover follows Matt, an undercover bodyguard and Marenah, Sasha’s Russian twin sister. She is caught by the Chicago mafia, who are notorious for brutally torturing women who cross them. Matt and Marenah meet under these harsh circumstances and from that moment, they are both immediately infatuated with one another. Matt makes it his mission to keep Marenah safe but Marenah is keeping dangerous secrets that make his efforts more difficult.
The chemistry between these two characters is delicious and caused me to devour every page without pause. I really admired Marenah’s resilience. She didn’t come off as a scared little mouse who needed protecting. She seldom allowed anyone to be close to her, but I loved how Matt was able to help her break down some of the walls she had built up to protect herself, and allowed herself to experience not only being with a man, but being appreciated and treated well by one.
If you enjoy a good mafia war story that leans heavy on the romance aspect, I highly recommend! Loved these books!

Shadowed Agenda by Mavery Ellscott is the second book to the Shadow Defense Security series. Full of suspense, romantic tension, and lots of plot twists, this is a strong story for a second book and definitely left me ready for more! I loved the characters. Regan and Pavlo are strong character leads and I adored them both. Regan is very headstrong but also a loving single mother that is willing to do whatever she thinks she has to to keep her daughter safe. Pavlo is a former Navy Seal and a member of the secretive group known as Shadow Defense Security. They are both authors on a book tour and due to some history between them, they try to keep their distance. But when the book tour takes a terrifying turn for Regan, Pavlo steps up and tries to help keep Regan safe as well as get to the bottom of threats and attacks being made against her. The tension between them grows as they spend more time together. But Regan doesn’t want Pavlo involved in this growing threat, and Pavlo doesn’t think he can be more than an occasional one night stand. The story had me hooked and turning the pages as quickly as I could, devouring every word until the end! I highly recommend for romantic suspense lovers. I look forward to more from this author.
Hope for a New World, by Renee W Peek, is the first installment to The Hope Series, and is a beautiful blend of science-fiction and space, with a side of metaphysical and so much more. I enjoyed the distinctly different personality types among the main characters. I felt they were all very well-developed, interesting and I felt a connection with each of them in some way. The strength of these women uniting for a cause they all believe in was very inspiring! The descriptions and intriguing storyline made it very easy to submerge myself into this story, without feeling like anything was repetitive or long-winded. The author really brought to life what I believe to be a very strong first book to this series. All in all, I would definitely suggest to anyone who loves science-fiction, although it goes much further beyond the sci-fi genre. I look forward to the next installment!

The Podcast Chronicles tells the story of Sue Cleary, wife and mother who is really trying to find herself a new purpose as her children are all reaching adulthood and her husband is often away on business. When Sue learns that a developer has come to their town of Durango with plans to construct a resort near her home. She springs to action, with a fiery passion, to keep this development from taking place. But can she convince others to see her view of how harmful the resort would be? I loved Sue’s character very much and admired her strength and courage to fight for what she truly believed was right for her community. The story was beautifully written, characters were well-developed and by the end, I wanted more! And I will be looking for more. Such a delightful read. Thank you, Kathryn Dodson.
Unclutter: A Survivor’s Story, by Winnie D Pagora, is a story that will make you really be inside all of your emotions. The novel centers around an eighteen year old girl, Tina, who is navigating life as best she can with deep-seated trauma. Many traumatic themes play a role here, but I didn’t feel like it was over-the-top or unbelievable. These subject matters addressed are things that really happen to people and my heart broke so many times. The author writes beautifully, perfect pacing and characters were very well developed. It made it easy to really connect with them. Despite the sad topics, this is an absolutely beautiful story and I am so thankful that I read it. I recommend to anyone. These topics deserve more spotlight.

The Moon That Fell From Heaven by N.L. Holmes is a story about an emperor’s daughter named Ehli-nikkalu. She is married to King Niqmaddu, and it is quite evident from the start that their relationship is not one crafted of love or respect for one another. When Ehli-nikkalu discovers a secret the King has been plotting, it sets her forth in motion to try to do the right thing and warn her father of the King’s deceit, along with the evidence. However, things do not go as well as she had hoped. More twists and turns take the reader on a bumpy road with Ehli-nikkalu. With elements of history, suspense and mystery, I feel the author did marvelous work crafting this adventurous tale. The story is well-written with lots of detail to really make your own imagination come alive as you read along.

The Hand of God by Paul McCarthy is a fascinating and equally concerning look into the dangerous world of Nuclear Weaponry. The impact that this could have on the human race and our world as we know it is terrifying, and to think we don’t hardly bat an eyelash anymore at the mention of nuclear war is just frightening to me personally. ‘Why are there not more people paying closer attention’, is a thought that frequented my mind as I read along. There is a lot to unpack here and I mean is that we all should really be doing our due diligence as a human race to protect ourselves from this madness. Well written, well researched. I appreciate everything the author did here and I look forward to future writings.

Russian and Royally Complicated, written by authors Gwyn McNamee and Christy Anderson, is a well written story spiced up with heavy doses of hate, desire, suspense and so much more. Daphne and Lev seperately face their two best friends marrying each other and these two rivals are both feeling abandoned, alone with no good outlet. Their personality quirks and attitudes have gotten under one anothers skin since they met years prior. But despite their feelings of contempt for one another, and being complete opposites, they are absolutely magnetized by one another and share. Neither one of them want to return to their lives after the wedding. Their friends run off on their honeymoon, and in an unlikely set of events, these two wind up in one another’s company begrudgingly. From there, unpredictable events take place and it kept me from being able to put this book down once I started. I was hooked from the beginning but I was so curious about secrets being kept, I am amazed at how fast I devoured the story. I absolutely do recommend if you like a good enemies to lovers with lots of heat!

Conversations with Tarot: Bewitching Meditations on Reading the Cards by Maria DeBlassie is my third experience reading from this amazing author and she never disappoints me, no matter the topic!
In this particular book, Maria takes us into the mystic world of using tarot, but shows us that there is so much more to tarot than simply understanding the meaning of each card. To really use the cards, you need to have a deeper communication built with each one and in this book we are guided by the author on how she does exactly that. DeBlassie knows how to turn all of her writing into a magical experience for her reader, but in a way that can be easily understood by any person new to the practice. I highly recommend for anyone interested in a different sort of guide to the depths of tarot, but also to experience this author I have come to adore.

Shadowed Obsession by Mavery Ellscott is the first book in the Shadow Defense Security series. I felt like this book had a perfect pace as the story of Keira O’Ryan unfolded. She is a PR representative with a bit of a past she’d rather forget, and a stalker who is trying to work their way into literally every nook and cranny of her life to spy on her. She has a neighbor who happens to be a very attractive ex-Navy SEAL and owns his own security company. Cade tries to help keep Keira safe and get to this stalker before harm comes to her. Tension, thrill, and wonderful writing accentuate these well-fleshed characters and plot. I absolutely recommend if you are interested in a fast-paced, but well written thriller. I look forward to see what is next for the Shadow Defense Security series!

Twisted Oath, by A.S. Roberts, is the first book of the series Bound by Blood and my first experience with the author. This darker style of romance had me drawn in from the very beginning. I really felt like all the story element boxes for a good, suspenseful and interesting read were checked off. The characters and plot were so brilliantly fleshed out. Serafina and Salvatore brought an intense but believable amount of chemistry and emotion to the storyline that made this very difficult to put down. If you love the mafia romance genre, this one is absolutely worth checking out. I am excited to see what comes next!

Ladies of the Links #2 is the second book to this series by Haley Rhoades. While I did not read book 1, it was still easy to dive into this story and enjoy the storyline between Christy and Ryan. It was obvious from the intensity of the beginning that this story would be filled of passion and regret, and it only grew stronger as the story progressed. I absolutely enjoyed it. Christy was a joy for me from the beginning as a favorite character. I loved the writing and absolutely recommend. Perhaps would be even better if reading book 1 first. But either way, definitely worth it! Writing and plot was spot on!!

Breathless Love by KG Fletcher is the third installment to the Bennetts of Langston Falls, however I read this as a standalone and really enjoyed it! I am very intrigued to pick up the others due to how much I enjoyed this story- which is more than I thought I would! I really enjoyed Hank a lot and the connection between him and Ella Mae was really enjoyable, and it wasn’t really over-the-top as it unfolded. I felt like this was an enjoyable read, great writing and would recommend to others who enjoy a really sweet romance that is believable and easy to follow along with.

Truly Unfortunate by C.A. King is the first book to the Welcome to Knollville paranormal series. The story begins with Truly as a child, and one can quickly conclude that she is being brought up in an extremely toxic and abusive environment. As the story continues and Truly has become a young adult, it is evident that some sort of event has caused her to lock out the memories of her past. She has been working to try to regain the memories, but she could find that the memories were better off left suppressed. I quite enjoyed the writing and felt the paranormal aspects and plot were very fresh and exciting enough to keep the pages turning. I would certainly be interested in reading the next book.

Ten Thousand Shells & Counting by Nadija Mujagic is a true story recounting the experiences of a young teenage girl in Sarajevo during wartime in the 90s. I could hardly put this book down once I started reading. This story invoked so many emotions for me. My heart ached so much for all the grief and pain Nadija endured during this time while still just trying to live life as normally as possible. As time goes on, she turns to acting out and taking to adult habits as her morale struggles to shatter under the weight of these confusing and saddening times. If memoirs on war interest you at all, I highly recommend taking this journey with Nadjia.

Savage Truth by Isla Vaughn is the third book to the Hidden Valley Elite series. This book picks directly up where Savage Lies ends. Raelyn, Riley’s mom, is now involved with Cole’s dad and are all living under the same roof. The tension between Cole and Riley seems to heighten at every turn of the page and is dangerously close to reaching its peak. Will these two push each other to the very edge of their limits with their antics of blackmail or will they finally be able to realize that they are not the reason each others worlds have been turned upside down, and give into their deeply seeded feelings for one another? You’ll just have to read and find out!

Insomnia was my first experience with author Kelly Covic and I really enjoyed this more than I thought I would. Insomnia includes quite a few short, spooky stories – some that leave you questioning and some that are abundant with twists and turns, leading you down a path you did not expect to wander down. If you love a chilling, quick read then I highly recommend giving this new author’s book a chance. You may be as surprised as I was with how enjoyable it is and creeped out you may feel with only a handful of pages per story.

The Silent Road is the first book I’ve read from author S.N. McKibben. This story takes the reader on a journey with Dan, a divorced father and truck driver who cannot seem to catch a break in any aspect of his life. He feels like a failure of a husband because he loved the road as a truck driver more than he enjoyed time with his family. He feels like a failure of a father because of the turmoil of a somewhat absent father. Now he is having to be trained to drive a truck, although he has been doing it since he was a child. He is racing to get to Texas while apprenticing under a gay man named Jake so that he can help his daughter with moving into her dorm and to pay for her first semester of college. It is evident he feels passionately about being there for his baby girl, and might seek some redemption from the past. Dan has considered himself to be a “bigot” but still respectful enough to not wish harm upon anyone who is different or thinks differently from him. However, this trip with Jake seems to opening his eyes to thoughts and feelings he’s never thought or felt before.
This story was very well written and I loved seeing how this story grew and how Dan grew as a person as well. Sometimes it’s the things and situations we detest and refuse to accept, that we actually need to open ourselves up to to be okay with or even find our true happiness, whatever that may be. Overall, I do recommend giving this story a try if it sounds interesting to you!
