The Traveler: Chimera Revolution by Shannon Nemechek
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The Traveler: Chimera Revolution by Shannon Nemecheck is the second book in the Book of Eleanor series. This book does really need to be read in order as this one follows straight on from book 1.
It was great to be able to follow up with these characters and the journey they are on. This book was just as well written and exciting as the first book. I wanted to see where this next instalment was going to take them and see what was going to happen.
The characters were just as interesting as I found them in the first book. It was really easy to connect with them again. I have definitely enjoyed this series so far and I can’t wait to see what else this author has in store.

The Divided Twin by M. Billiter

The Divided Twin by Mary Billiter is the second book in the Divided Series. This is the follow up book to The Divided Mind and personally I think these need to be read in order.
I am so glad to see a follow up to book one. It was great to be able to get back into these characters and their minds. I thought this book was even better than the first one.

TWO HEARTS UNSPOKEN TARGETS by Tamara Ferguson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Two Hearts Unspoken Targets by Tamara Ferguson is the 11th book in the Two Hearts Wounded Warrior Romance series. This is another fantastic addition to an already great series.
As with the previous books in this series the author really knows how to take you in a journey. You are right there with the characters through all of it, experiencing exactly what they are. You really do become so connected with the characters.
The story had everything I have come to expect from a Tamara Ferguson story – action, suspense, romance. It was yet another book by her that once I had started I had to finished it all in one sitting. This whole series is fantastic and I would definitely recommend anyone read them.

The Equalizer: Foxxy’s Tipping Point by Allyson R. Abbott
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The Equlizer: Foxxy’s Tipping Point by Allyson Abbott is a story all about one woman set of revenge. Nothing about Foxxy’s life has been straight forward so when she decides on revenge it gives her such a purpose.
This book was well written and certainly catches your attention. It was a fairly quick but interesting read. You find yourself wanting Foxxy to achieve her mission. You are drawn to her and everything she is going through. Will she ever be able to get her own happy ending?? I enjoyed this book and would definitely recommend reading it.

Fall by A.K. Morgen
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Fall: The Ragnarok Prophecies: #2 by A.K. Morgen is the follow up story to Fade. I would recommend reading these books in order as I felt like I was obviously missing a lot by not having done so myself. The overall story was well written, although it felt like it was a little slow progression wise in places. But this author has created a world that was vivid and easy to imagine. The characters have a lot going on as well. Even without having read book one you can feel their connection and what they have been through. I will definitely be going back and reading book one and I am very much looking forward to seeing what else is to come.

Love Comes in the Mourning by Erin Bevan
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Love Comes in the Mourning by Erin Bevan is an emotional story that will draw you in and keep a tight hold right until the last page. The characters have such a complexity about them that you cannot resist being pulled into their lives. I loved that they came across as flawed, and not perfect people.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Tompkin’s School: For The Extraordinarily Talented by Tabi Slick is the first book in the A Supernatural Academy Trilogy. I found this to be a pretty unique story with an interesting plot.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Being Lost by Manda Mellett is the first book in the Satan’s Devils MC San Diego series. This is yet again the start of an amazing series by a brilliant author.
Every time I pick up a book by this author I know I am going to absolutely love it. This book has everything I have come to expect from her books – strong and engaging characters with an interesting story line to back them up.
The thing I liked the most about this book is that the author created such relatable characters who were also older.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Heart of Malice by Lisa Edmonds is the first book in the Alice Worth series. It is an action packed book that will keep you on your toes.
This is my first book by this author so I wasn’t sure what to expect going into the book. What I found was a well written story that was certainly interesting. I liked the whole escape from her past whole still using her powers.
I did at times struggle with the character a little – I wish she could have been a little more tough and hold her own a bit better. However I do think she had a great depth and intrigue about her that kept my interest. This was an overall good book and I am looking forward to seeing whah the rest of the series holds.

Rebecca Steele Finding The Dream
By Joanna Patterson is the second book in the Rebecca Steele series. This book can be read as a stand-alone although I would recommend reading book 1 first as it follows the same characters.
This is definitely an entertaining book and one that is easy to get into, even without having read the first book. The characters were fun and engaging, Becky seemed like she would be a great person to meet.
The story itself was fairly lighthearted and easy to read. I found myself reading it quickly as I got lost in the story. This was a great book to read and I am looking forward to what might be next.

Feisty Heroines: Romance Collection of Shorts by D.F. Jones
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Feisty Heroines Romance Collection of Shorts: Paranormal-Contemporary Fantast-Historical Anthology is a great collection of stories by a variety of different authors. Each story is different from the rest and there is a great selection to suit all tastes.
A lot of these authors were new authors to me and I thought that this was a great way in which to discover them. As they were short stories it gave a glimpse into their writing style and really helped to whet your appetite for more.
As indicated in the title the characters in these books were all strong and independent. They knew exactly how to look out for themselves. Throw in the engaging stories and the additional characters to bulk it out and you are really in for a joyful ride when you read these books. They were the perfect length to be able to read one quickly when you had time, or a few if you had an afternoon to enjoy a bit of reading. This was a great collection and one I enjoyed immensely.

IRRESISTIBLE WEDDINGS by Tamara Ferguson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Irresistible Weddings is a collection of stories by a multitude of brilliant authors. With a mix of different styles each book is unique and interesting.
I read this book over the course of week, each day intending just to read a bit and each day ending up reading at least one of the books. I was drawn to all of them and loved how they were all so different from each other.
The characters we also varied and I don’t think I could honestly pick any one of them over the others. The book was a great read, so easy to get lost in. I have become pretty familiar with all of these authors over the past year or so and I always enjoy their work. This is definitely a collection worth reading.

I was instantly sucked into the pages of this book and especially into the story of Ty and Mckenna. I loved these two characters immediately and knew that I was in for a ride straight away.
The book has all the characteristics that I have come to love from this author. It is well written, exciting, full of strong characters with a great story line.
