Killer BlondeKiller Blonde by Allan Evans
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Killer Blonde by Allan Evans is a fast paced, action packed story. The author has created a book that is full is suspense but also has a lighter side to it so Tom get a bit of everything with this book.
This is the first book that I have read by this author and I have thoroughly enjoyed it. I found it really easy to connect with the main character in his search for the killer. I also enjoyed the way the author described everything – it made it so easy to visualise what was happening.
For me I felt the story slowed down in pace a little in the second half but by that point I was invested in it so it didn’t impact on my enjoyment. This is a great book full of twists and turns. I can’t wait to discover more of this author in the future.

Hungry Business: A Short StoryHungry Business: A Short Story by Maria DeBlassie
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Hungry Business: A Short Story by Maria DeBlassie is a well written and detailed story that left me intrigued from start to finish. I loved the lighthearted, conversational tone that the book has – almost like it is is someone recounting their dating experiences in general instead of the twist that is in there. I actually thought it was an amusing read, I was chucking along with some of the descriptions the author used and it is that which drew me in initially.
I enjoyed how open the ending was without it feeling unfinished. This is definitely a book I would love to see as a full length novel – the basis is all there and I think it would be excellent. In lieu of that I would highly recommend this book!

Is This Me? (Being Me #1)Is This Me? by Tricia Copeland
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Is This Me? by Tricia Copeland is the first book in the Being Me series. For me this book is all about the main character – Amanda – and the emotional journey that she goes through. I thought the author did a great job of portraying the turmoil that the character was going through, so much so that I was drawn into the story and really felt like I was taking the journey with her.
The overall story has a great pace to it. The author has clearly taken the time to develop the characters and give them the extra depth that makes them so enjoyable. She really knew how to engage my interest in the book which I think it why I read this so quickly. This a great, clean, coming of age story that I would certainly recommend you try today.

Bound By Secrets by Amy McKinley is the second book in the Deadly Isles Special Ops series. This book is just pure brilliance from a consistently amazing author. It is such an intriguing story, full of twists and turns that you just don’t see coming. What I didn’t expect was just how emotional this book is.

I enjoyed learning about the history between the 2 characters and how it all shaped their journey. For me it was this that really gave them that connection.
This book is such an amazing book I cannot stress enough how you should read it. Every book by this author is incredible and you won’t be disappointed.

Love At First Haunt: A Ghostly Paranormal Romance by Carrie Pulkinen is the first book in the Haunted Ever After series.

The book is well written and highly entertaining. As with all of this authors books I found myself laughing throughout and thoroughly enjoying every moment of it. Every needs to read this book today and I cannot wait to get my hands on book 2!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Black Dog Rising by Kat Caulberg is a great fantasy romance book that really keeps you on your toes. The whole book just keeps throwing twists and turns out – just as you think you have got something figured out the author sends the story down a different path entirely. It mad the book surprising and such a good book to read. I loved the main characters – Emma and Toby were not only worked so well together but were perfect for this particular story.
The book is exciting to read. I think I enjoyed it even more because it was set in Suffolk, England. It is always nice to read a book set in my country and I always feel a little more connected with it. I am already looking forward to more from this author.

Mythical Alliance: Phoenix Team: The Complete Season by Claire Luana is a fantastically original series by one an author that has quickly become one of my favourite fantasy authors. And rightfully so. This series is absolutely amazing from start to finish. All six episodes I found to be riveting.

The books are exciting and fast paced. I was hooked right from the word go. The author has created such an original story and you just want to know more.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Ride With The Moonlight by Andrea Matthews is the second book in the Thunder on the Moor series. This series does have to be read in order as it is a continuation of the characters story.
For me this book was even better than the first. I found it so easy to jump straight back into the story and reconnected with the characters immediately. I was excited to see where their journey was going to take them next and how they would overcome everything that seemed to be in their way.
The writing in this book was just as imaginative and detailed as it was in the first. This meant it was so easy to picture everything going on. This has been a strong series and this book really just reinforces that completely. I would highly recommend you give this series a try today!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Heartbeats and Roses: A Small Town Valentines Day Romance by Jae Dawson is a novel in the Hartwood Holiday Romance series. This book is a sweet and enjoyable story with some really great ideas. The whole premise of the book was fun and lighthearted – I liked everything Rose was trying to do and there were some great ideas there. I had such high expectations from this book after reading the first and unfortunately I didn’t find it to be quite as good. I found these characters a little harder to connect with. However the overall book was definitely enjoyable and worth reading as part of the series. I love the absolutely stunning covers this author seems to have on each of their books – they alone would draw me into the book as they are so striking. The author has a strong writing style and the book had a good pace to it. Although this was not quite what I had hoped for I am still very much looking forward to the next book in the series!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The Longest Run: A Ski Patrol Rescue Romance by Tracey Cramer-Kelly is the fourth book in the Lawson Family series. This is an emotional story, full of highs and lows. The characters are both so flawed which makes them so perfect for each other! I found that you really connect with them and it added so much to the overall story.
This book has got to be my favourite in the series so far. It is so well written that you will have no issues being drawn into the story. This is the kind of book that I really wish didn’t have to end and yet I couldn’t stop myself from reading it so quickly as I just had to see how it was all going to turn out.
I would certainly recommend this series and highly recommend this book!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The Buccaneers of St Frederick Island by Linda Maria Frank is a fun and humorous tale about a group of young, aspiring detectives who are determined to solve their mystery. This is the first book that I have read by this author and I found it to be highly entertaining. Not only did it have mystery and intrigue but I found it to be much more witty than I expected it would be. I loved the attention to detail in the book. It was things like the authors note at the start that really made this book all the more enjoyable.
As an introduction to the author this was definitely a good book to start with. I will definitely be looking into more of her work in the future!

Stormy's Thunder (Satan's Devils MC Utah #2)Stormy’s Thunder by Manda Mellett
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Stormy’s Thunder by Manda Mellett is part of the Satan’s Devils MC Utah Chapter. If this whole series isn’t something you are familiar with then I would highly recommend you rectify that immediately. This is easily one of the best series I have ever read and this book has firmly placed itself within the top, if not at the top.
I always wonder how the author is going to top what she has already done – since it has been so outstanding up to this point – and yet with this book she has proved just how good she really is. I was absolutely riveted by Stormy and his character. He is one of those characters that has so much more to him than you would initially think. He is a character that you will be familiar with if you have read the rest in the series and he is a character that you really don’t think you will like at all. However the author has done an incredible job of not only making him likeable but making it so you completely fall in love with him.
As with the rest of the books this one is so well written – it is fast paced and action packed but is also full of all the little details that make it so good. I cannot wait to see what else this author has in store for us and in the meantime I might just have to go back and read all the previous books again!

Athalie by Jordan Elizabeth is the first book in the Sacrificial Chronicles. It is a unique YA fantasy story that draws you in with a well written story and amazing characters.
I loved the feel of this book from the moment I started reading it. It felt fresh and new straight away and it made it exciting to read. I loved Athalie – she had such a journey to undertake and it felt like I was with her for all of it. The author really knows how to make you connect with her.
This author is a relatively new author to me but this book has to be my favourite one of hers so far. I am certainly looking forward to reading book 2 and if this is the standard of her work then I am looking forward to reading other books by her in the future as well.

Stone of Destiny by Nadine Travers is the first book in the Juniper Samoni Trilogy. This book is a fantastic start to a new series. It really gets you hooked right from the start and is the kind of book you can’t stop thinking about even after you have finished reading it. The author has done such an incredible job at creating this new world that it is so easy to imagine it – made even better by the fact that it is set in Scotland. The characters are so engaging. You connect with them at once and they really enhance the overall story.
This is one of the strongest starts to a new series that I have read in a while and I am so excited to see what else is to come.

Twisted Secrets by Amy McKinley is the first book in the Deadly Isles Special Ops series. This author always delivers a strong story line with some great characters and this book has all the usual hallmarks.
Riley and Xander are interesting characters. They have a depth to them that a lot of characters lack and it all adds to their story. They are the kind of characters that you can’t help but get behind from the get go.
The story itself was quite a quick read but thoroughly enjoyable. I connected with the story easily and found that I read it in no time at all. It feels like this book is setting up the rest of the series and is a great introduction to some new and familiar characters. This is a great book by an amazing author and I would definitely recommend it.

Jordan's Justice: A New Adult Sport Romance (Tessa and Jordan Book 2)Jordan’s Justice: A New Adult Sport Romance by T. Christensen
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Jordan’s Justice: A New Adult Sport Romance by T. Christensen is the second book in the Tessa and Jordan series. This is a series that does need to be read in order as it is a continuation of the story about the same characters. In my opinion reading them out of order would hinder your enjoyment of this series – and it is one that is made to be enjoyed!!!
This is an amazing follow up the first book. I really enjoyed connecting with Tessa and Jordan in book one and this book just pulled me in even deeper to their lives. I was desperate to find out how things were going to play out – there was so much history between the two of them!
This book is so emotional – I was on edge most of the way through it as I wasn’t convinced about the direction the author was going to take. I knew how I wanted the book to go but also knew I would be taken on a journey. The book was so well written and the whole series is absolutely amazing. I would definitely recommend both these books to anyone and I thoroughly enjoyed this book, probably even more than the first!
