I cannot say enough good things about not only this book but this series! It is impossible to lose interest over time and bonus, they can all be read stand alone! In this one the narration fits the story and keeps readers attention. Its like Sons of Anarchy without all the violence and easier on the stomach! I cannot wait for more of not only this series but this author as well!

Ashes of Sin and Stardust is your traditional Romance, BDSM book! The characters were great and it was a pleasure to read. The story is a lesson in not all good things are what you think or are expecting.

Alice shes sassy and has trust issues. Can they make it work?!?

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I absolutely loved every page of this book! I have read books before that I could not put down but this one comes out on top!
The characters are real, raw and relatable. Each character’s emotions flows off the pages and readers can feel the pain, heartache and suffering along with the happiness and joy each character finds! At no point is it one sided each character is developed so well throughout the entire book!
I cannot wait for the next installment of this series!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I have enjoyed every single installment of this series! While yes this series is geared towards the teenage crowd even as an adult its a feel good, sit down and continue to flip the pages type read!

I do highly recommend the books be read in order! As you read the series the characters come to life. Cat is a fun loving, free spirit who embraces her gift and readers get to live the journey with her! Throughout the series I like that because these books were geared towards a certain audience, lessons could be learned in each book!

This second chance at love story was very well written story that captured readers attention from the beginning. It was easy to read and keep flipping the pages as readers just want to know what’s coming next. The characters were well developed and the story line was engaging enough to keep readers attention that it didn’t feel like a story we have read one hundred times already.

Be prepared for this book to hit you in the feels. I personally wasn’t prepared for a book that so much related what I was going through and I try to stay away from those kind of books however this one was good.

I enjoyed this quick read from an author I hadn’t found before. The female lead is strong and the writing is good!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Once again this series delivers! There is not a bad book, story line or character in this series. I love that while each book flows together, every single one can be read individually.

Amy has a way of writing each character so well that readers feel like they know them. Each character plays an intricate role in the story and is a needed piece of the puzzle! Nico and Mia win hearts over, and family members and readers can’t get enough!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This was the perfect follow up to the first installment and while it is great in sequence this one can be read by itself! Its the perfect book for any age but its definitely geared towards the middle school girl! Lessons like teamwork, and hardworking are taught in a way in which kids are not getting lectured and the characters are just as amazing!

I absolutely enjoyed reading this book! The author did an excellent job portraying all the characters and finding just the right hook for the readers. Its almost the perfect read for teens as well. Serious issues are discussed in a way that isn’t too heavy, there’s a tad bit of drama and there’s some paranormal to make sure the story doesn’t get too serious! I look forward to reading more from this author!

Mr. Nice Guy (Pierce Brothers, #1)Mr. Nice Guy by Belinda Williams
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This was a fantastic read! I haven’t read Belinda Williams before but this was a great series to start with!
Belinda allows readers to feel like they are living the story with the characters. The characters are well written and relate to someone we all know! Its easy to get attached, pick sides and live vicariously through each character.
Chelsea is that girl we all know. Bad boys are her style and she doesn’t understand why each one is worse than the last.
Tom is the nice guy that everyone is friends with but never really sees. He’s the genuine nice guy.
So what happens when a friends suggests the nice guy show Chelsea what she’s missing?!? Belinda takes us through every step of the story and leaves us wanting more!

One In A Billion (Pierce Brothers, #3)One In A Billion by Belinda Williams
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Belinda Williams has truly developed a lovable series with the Pierce Brothers!
Each brother is different and each lead female is 100% relatable.

In this book we meet Seth who we know a little about from previous installments but we truly get to know the real Seth in this book!
Then we have Victoria who has a deadline, professionally, and hardlines, personally! Can the two mix?

I love how easy to read these books are but they still keep the readers attention from start to finish! Each character is well developed and relatable!
