Turn up the Tempo (Lyrical Odyssey Rock Star Series Book 4) by Charli B Rose – Review by Kerry Baker

Turn up the Tempo (Lyrical Odyssey Rock Star series, #4)Turn up the Tempo by Charli B. Rose
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Turn up the Tempo by Charli B. Rose is the fourth book in the Lyrical Odyssey Rock Start series. These books can be read as standalones although I do think you should read the whole series as they are that good!
Brittany has got to me one of my favourite characters that I have read for a long time. There was just that something about her that made me really connect with her. And Brooks seems to be just perfect for her – they both seemed to have the same kind of flawed about them.
The story is well written too. It has a little bit of everything in it to make it that unputdownable read. This series really does seem to get better with each book that is released. I can’t wait to see what the author does next.

Be Brave with Me (Finding Love in Green Springs Book 1) by CA Miconi – Review by Kerry Baker

Be Brave With Me (Finding Love In Green Springs Book 1)Be Brave With Me by J.B. Havens
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Be Brave With Me by C.A. Miconi is the first book in the Finding Love in Green Springs series. This is such an emotional story that will have you cheering on the characters all the way through.
This is a completely new author to me so I didn’t know what to expect when going in to it. I figured it would be another sweet, small town romance with the usual happy ever after.
Instead what I got was a book so packed with emotion that I found myself laughing in one moment and then crying my eyes out the next. The characters are what draw you into this book – they are both so broken and yet both so close to something new.
This is a brilliant book that I would highly recommend as well as a brilliant new author to explore!

TorchTorch by Tricia Copeland
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Torch by Tricia Copeland is the second book in the Lovelock series I would recommend reading this series in order as it continues on from book one, with the same characters and story line.
This book is a fantastic follow up to book one. I was transported back into Jema’s world so quickly and easily. This book was as exciting and fast paced as the first one. I couldn’t wait to find out what was going to happen.
If you are a fan of this genre then I would definitely recommend you try this series. It is well written, exciting and have characters that are so easy to get behind. I am enjoying this very much and can’t wait to see what else might be to come.

Sunshine KissesSunshine Kisses by Elaine Marie
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Sunshine Kisses by Elaine Marie is the second book in the Kisses Novella series. This book can be read as a stand-alone and is a great friends to lovers story.
This is the first book I have read by this author and I have to say I found it to be thoroughly enjoyable. The characters were interesting and easy to engage with. I really felt like I got to know them while reading this book.
The author has a really nice writing style too. Her words have a great pace about them, pushing the book where it is needed, pulling it back when it would help the story. It was easy to lose yourself in this story for a few hours.
This was a really enjoyable book and I am definitely keen to read the rest of them.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Stage Mom: A Single Mom Romantic Comedy by K.L. Montgomery is the sixth book in the Romance in Rehoboth series. These books can all be read as standalone although I think you should definitely read them all as they are that good!
I loved Larissa! She is everything I want to be in a mum – she is strong and willing to fight tooth and nail for her daughter. And yet I found that she has such a sweet side to her. She had been through so much and yet was able to find a way past all of that to see new possibilities.
It worked well between her and Mateo – they complimented each other perfectly. Their story was entertaining and very amusing! The author has such a great writing style and always knows the right pace needed for her characters.
This is a brilliant series and one I have really enjoyed. I would highly recommend reading it!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Phoenix Team One: Selected by Claire Luana is the first book in the Mythical Alliance: Phoenix Team series. This is an exciting new series from an author that knows how to create fantastic stories.
I knew this book was going to be a good one when I was intrigued from the moment I read the description. Add that to the fact it is written by Claire Luana – who in my opinion knows how to write amazing books – then it was one of those I just had to read immediately. Right from the word go I knew I wasn’t going to be disappointed.
This is such a strong start to what I am hoping will be yet another amazing series. The author has created a whole host of brilliant characters. They are varied, unusual and interesting to read about. The story itself is also well developed. It draws you in so easily and before you know it you are utterly hooked. It is fast paced and action packed. This is one of those books you just can’t put down. I am very excited to see what is next in line for this series.

Arrows Tipped With Honey by Jean Gill is the second book in the Natural Forces series. This series does need to be read in order as it is a continuation of the story.

Bargaining by Mina Chara is the third book in the Hero High series. This is a series that does need to be read in order as it follows the same characters and their journey.

As with the previous two books the story was exciting and fast paced. The author has done such a great job of developing it over the course of the series.
As a relatively new author to me Mina Chara is one I have enjoyed discovering. I am looking forward to seeing what other work she has!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Every Last Psycho: A Collection of Twi Novella’s by Zarina Macha are two stories with compelling characters and complex subject matters. Each one is completely different from the other but has the same deep feeling about them.
These books have to be some of the best young adult books I have read recently. This author has a great way of creating characters that are intriguing with a storyline to match them. I really connect with each of these girls but for entirely different reasons.
Both novellas are well written and really made me think about the subject involved.
This is a great collection and I would definitely recommend it for fans of this genre!

Enemies of Doves by Shanessa Gluhm is an intricate and in depth story of 2 brothers and the secrets they keep for a lifetime. I found this book to be unexpectedly emotional and completely captivating. Once I had started this book I simply couldn’t put it down. I devoured it all in one sitting and just wished it could have been even longer.
I have never read anything by this author before and after reading this book I cannot understand why. Her writing was so good it completely grabbed my attention. The story was well written and woven together so well that I found myself entirely immersed in the book. I was at the end of it before I knew it because I just could not stop reading at all.
The characters were what made this book really interesting. Getting to read about different ones in different timelines was brilliant. I know I will be giving this book a re-read and I will be checking out all other books by this author. You should definitely read this book!

Baba Ali and the Clockwork Djinn: A Steampunk Faerie Tale by Danielle Ackley-McPhail and Day Al-Mohamed is an inventive retelling of Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves. It is an interesting story with a great cast of characters.
These authors are both new to me so I had no idea what to expect when I started reading it. The book was definitely exciting in parts and a unique way to tell a well known story. I did find parts of the story a little slow but it picked up pace the further into the book you get. The characters were all well developed and had depth about them.
The combination of writing styles in this book complimented each other well and created a seemless story. It was a great introduction to 2 new authors and I would certainly recommend this book.

Each of these books is about different characters and has a different angle from the last book. They are all so well written, engaging and relatable that you will fall in love with them all!!!
