Scorching Hot MessScorching Hot Mess by Brooke May
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Scorching Hot Mess by Brooke May is an entertaining story about a woman on a mission to find her match. This whole book has such a fun feel to it and I thought that Willow was such an entertaining character. Her and her friend combined really made me chuckle. I enjoyed reading about her and Gun. They seemed to have such a connection from the start that just felt real and engaging. It made you want to read more about them. This isn’t the first book that I have read by this author and I like the fact that I always know I am going to get a well written story when I read one of her books. This was a great read and one I thoroughly enjoyed.

Electric Temptation (The Protectors, #5)Electric Temptation by Toya Richardson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Electric Temptation by Toya Richardson is the fifth book in the Protectors series. This is a great paranormal romance series that has a little bit of everything you could want. This book is a second chance romance to that for me very much had a will they/won’t they feel to it. I couldn’t wait to see how Delilah and Mason would work things out while also evading the danger around them. I found this book to be action packed and quite quick paced. The story kept moving at all times and it really kept the whole plot line engaging. This has been an exciting series so far and I think this is a brilliant addition to the series. I am looking forward to whatever comes next from this author.

Shift Happens (New Orleans Nocturnes Book Two) AUDIO BOOK by Carrie Pulkinen – Review by Kerry Baker

/0 Comments/in /by

Shift Happens: New Orleans Nocturnes, Book 2 Audiobook by Carrie Pulkinen is a fantastic audio version is an incredible book. Having already read this I knew I really enjoyed the book but I wasn’t expecting the narration to bring the book to life so much. It made it so easy to picture the characters and the adventure that was awaiting for them. I loved being able to visualise every aspect of the book. And the person they got to narrate this was the absolute perfect choice. Her voice drew me in completely and I loved the fact that the accent matched the story so well. It really made for a much more immersive experience and couldn’t not have been done any better. I have a read a lot of books by this author, who has easily become one of my favourites, and from now on I will definitely be listening to more.

Two Hearts, One Stone (Boots and Babies) by Leslie Scott is a well written romance story. This is a new author for me and I enjoyed the way the characters were portrayed in the book. I felt the chemistry between them right from the word go. The sparks just seemed to fly between them. I thought their story was an enjoyable. They aren’t really as different from each other as I initially thought. I thought this was a great short story and the perfect way to be introduced to this author. I am looking forward to discovering more of her work in the future.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

To Be A Fae Queen by Tricia Copeland is the first book in the Realm Chronicles series. This is a YA fantasy book that has such a heartwarming and engaging character right at its centre. Although you are reading about a young girl I found that it was really easy to picture what she was going through. She has such a difficult and tumultuous journey and yet she faces it all with such a strength.
I thought the book was really well written. The author has created an interesting fantastic world that really does pull you in from the start. As the first book in the series I thought it was a strong start and I am looking forward to what comes next.

Twisted Throttle (Satan's Devils MC Second Generation #3)Twisted Throttle by Manda Mellett
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Twisted Throttle by Manda Mellett is the third book in the Satan’s Devils MC Second Generation series. This book is as exciting and fast paced as the other books in the series and is easily just as good. The more this whole series expands the more I become immersed in it. I always think I have found my favourite book until I read the next one the author brings out. She has such a way of creating strong and interesting characters that really pull you in. This book is no exception. I instantly fell in love with them and couldn’t put the book down until I had read their story. It is full of twists and turn and I couldn’t put the book down at all. I cannot recommend this series enough and would urge everyone to read them today.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Love Between The Lines: A Contemporary Romance Sprinkled with Chick-Lit and Rom-Com by A.D. Brazeau is the first book in the Page Turner Series. I found this to be quite a sweet story with relatable characters. It is a pretty quick read and I found myself being carried along with the story. This is an entertaining read as I was quite surprised to find it quite amusing. The main characters were engaging from start to finish. I found myself rooting for them to find their happy ending. I thought the secondary characters were well written and helped to create more of a depth to the story as a whole.
This is a pretty new author to me but so far I am enjoying what I have read and I will definitely be reading more in the future.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Red’s Tangled Tale: Captain Hook and Red Riding Hood discover the Big Bad Wolf, and Rapunzel to! By Suzanne Lynn is the second book in the Untold Stories series. This is another unique and interesting twist on some classic tales. I thought this book was even better than the first and I loved getting back into the character of Captain Hook. His journey is taking him through new lands where he meets some new characters – Red being the one we really get to know. I thought the whole story was well written and really added to the series as a whole. It is hard to add such an original twist on such well known stories and yet this author has managed to go just that. I am looking forward to seeing what is to come next.

ANGUISH (THE JOURNALS TRILOGY BOOK ONE) AUDIO BOOK by D.M. EARL – Review by Kerry Baker

/0 Comments/in /by

Anguish: The Journals Trilogy Book 1 Audiobook by D.M. Earl is a dark and twisted story that certainly leaves you wanting more. I wasn’t sure how this book would be properly portrayed as an audiobook and I was really surprised by how well it transferred. The emotion and the mystery all came through so well and I was hooked on the story almost as soon as it started. There was quite a slow and methodical tone to the way it was told which made it really easy to picture everything going on, only for all of the emotion to burst out with the dialogue. When it got to certain scenes in the book I found my heart breaking for Quinn as I imagined everything she must have gone through. My only gripe about this book is that every now and again the narration felt a little robotic however it doesn’t really detract from it being a great story. I thoroughly enjoyed listening to this book and I can wait for the next one.

Loyalty & LiesLoyalty & Lies by Phoebe Alexander
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Loyalty and Lies by Phoebe Alexander is the sixth book in the Spicetopia series. This series just honestly keeps on getting better and better, with each new book becoming my favourite. I loved the intrigue to Calvin and Paisley’s story – I wanted to find out the truth just as mush as she did. I also enjoyed the fact that we actually met this couple in and earlier book. It made it that much easier to connect with them.
Phoebe Alexander always seems to know how to write a story that will completely capture your attention. There is a bit of everything that you could possibly want in each and every book. They are always so well written and this book is no exception. I would highly recommend this series.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The Istanbul Heist by Lynda Filler is the eighth book in the Code Raven series. This is a great addition to the series and has really continued the story well. There is a lot going on in this book which creates a tension and suspense about it. I was never quite sure which way the story might play out. It feels like you go on quite an adventure with the characters as they try to navigate a difficult situation. It isn’t very often that you find a series like this that can sustain so many books but this author has done it so well. Eight books in and I am still excited to see what is going to happen next.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Forged by Secrets by Amy McKinley is the third book in the Deadly Isles Special Ops series. This author has yet again produced an amazing book with some brilliant characters right at the centre of it. Malina and Tyler have to be my favourite couple of this series so far. They are one those couples that just fit together in such an effortless way and are so exciting to read about. They have a true connection that adds a whole new level to the story.
As with the other stories they are fast paced and action packed from beginning to end. This author really knows how to create a gripping story and just keeps the pages turning. This is another 5* read and I would highly suggest everyone reads this series.

Daisy's Darkness (Wheels & Hogs #6)Daisy’s Darkness by D.M. Earl
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Daisy’s Darkness by D.M. Earl is the sixth book in the Wheels and Hogs series. This is such an emotional and difficult book but it is one of those books that everyone who help read. The author dives right into tackling such difficult and heart wrenching subjects and yet they are ones that are so prevalent in today’s world. The author has done such a good job of writing this book that you feel everything right alongside Daisy – her pain, her anguish, her isolation. It really does feel like there is just no way forward for her. And yet the author shows how it is possible to turn things around, no matter how hard or impossible it seems to be at first. This is a story that I knew I would enjoy but never quite expected to be drawn into it the way I was.
This book really is one that needs to be read by everyone!

City of Whispers by Katt Powers is the is the first book in the Imperial Assassin series. This is an action packed book from start to finish and I wasn’t at all sure how it was going to turn out.

The book I thought was well written. It was well paced and a pretty exciting story. It caught my attention easily and I became engaged with what was happening. As this first book I have read by this author it was a great introduction and I am looking forward to reading more.

The Ocean’s Light by Mina Chara is the first book in the Blood of the Pirate series. This is a well written young adult book that is full of adventure on every page. I loved that the way the author had written the blurb as it felt like I was going in blind to the book. Because of that it was like I was experiencing everything right there along with the characters. This was an exciting and fast paced story that will really appeal to someone of the genre it is written for. The book was so easy to read and was so enjoyable. I am looking forward to seeing what is next in the series.

Hooks Little Mermaid: Captain Hook crosses paths with an enchanting mermaid, as he seeks revenge against Peter Pan by Suzanna Lynn is the first book in the Untold Stories series. This is a unique retelling of a well known story and the author has done a good job of taking the story and creating something new. The author manages to create a vivid picture of everything going on so it really felt like you were there. It would have been nice to see a little more of the dark Captain Hook that you are use to but it was good to see him in a whole new perspective. This was a front start to a new series and I am looking forward to reading the next.

Granted: Curse of the Emerald Jinn by Rachel Huffmire is a brilliant YA book that is full of twists and turns the whole way through. I thought this book was an exciting read and I was drawn into it instantly. Part of the reason for this I think is because this is the first time I have read a book of this genre told from a male POV. This was a refreshing change and really made it feel like an overall better story.
I really found the characters engaging and so easy to connect with. The journey was not only exciting to read about but easy to imagine. This was a great book and one that I throughly enjoyed.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Kissing the Kavalier by Annette Nauraine is a well written historical romance that completely drew me in. I loved the characters in this book and the romance that builds between them. The way it comes about is so heartwarming and really made me connect with the two of them. You could feel the chemistry from the moment you started reading.
The book felt accurate for the time period it was written in and I liked that it was set in Austria. Most books in this genre I have read are set in England so this was a refreshing change. This is a new author to me and I enjoyed how she approached the book. The writing style had a great flow about it and she did a great job of building up the story and the characters. I really enjoyed this book and I will certainly be looking to read more from her in the future.

The Sun At Twilight by N.L. Holmes is the fourth book in the Empire at Twilight series. This is another well written and detailed story by an author who really knows how to create a vivid story. I was pulled right into this story simply from the way the author created it. It felt like it was right there with Tudhaliya and could feel his anguish and conflict. I was interested the whole way through as to what he would do. This book is really all about the characters. They are at the absolute heart of it all and really make this book what it is. I would definitely say, even if this is something you wouldn’t normally read, this series is definitely worth it.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The Executive’s Decision by Bernadette Marie is the first book in the Keller Family series. This is a sweet book with relatable characters in it. I think there were certain parts to the book where the story could have used a little more detail – the idea was there but the execution was a little off. However, as the book went on the author clearly found her stride and it felt more cohesive and became much more enjoyable.
This is the first book that I have read by this author and although the story felt a bit predictable I thought the writing was good and well paced. It feels like the story was a great way to set up the start of a new series and introduce characters that we will read about later. This is an overall enjoyable story and I am looking forward to reading more in the series.

It felt like it was a new way to go about it instead of the same thing that has been read time and again. The writing had a great flow to it and the story held my interest. This book was a great introduction to this author and I am looking forward to discovering more from her in the future.

This is the first book that I have read by this author and I certainly found it to be enjoyable. I liked the fact that it was an easy read and something that I didn’t have to think too much about. The story was well written and had some pretty steamy scenes. I was quite as taken with the characters like I hoped I would be. I didn’t quite connect with them throughout the book. However that being said it didn’t really take away from my enjoyment and I would be willing to read more from this author in the future. Overall this is an entertaining book worth reading.

Full credit has to be given to this author as not many people can successfully keep a series going for this number of books and yet Meghan seems to do it with ease.
This book is yet another brilliant addition to such a strong series. I love getting back into the lives of the main characters and seeing what else is going to happen.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Seconds by Cam Johns is a brilliant second chance romance with an amazing main character right at its centre. This is the first book that I have read from this author on her own – previous books have been co-written with other authors – and I really loved it. I was pulled in straight away and became absolutely hooked reading about Braxton. Although it is quite a short book the story is jam packed and so engaging. I really wanted to find out if Braxton would find his second chance or if what had happened in his past would prevent that.
I also have to say that this book has one of the most striking covers I have seen in a long time. It caught my eye immediately and I would have one clicked this book off the cover alone. This was a great book that I thoroughly enjoyed and it is one I would highly recommend.
