Hail MaryHail Mary by Hope Anika
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Hail Mary by Hope Anika is an entertaining and fast paced story with some fantastic characters to go along with it.
Beau and Wynn are those type of characters that absolutely compliment each other. The chemistry between them combined with the back and forth is done so well. I laughed with them, I was on the edge of my seat with them. They are characters you cannot help but connect with.
The story was action packed and fast paced. It definitely keeps you the in the pages!! This is one of only a few books I have read by this author but it definitely cements the fact that I can’t wait to read more of her work.

License to Bite: A Paranormal Romantic Comedy (New Orleans Nocturnes Book 1) by Carrie Pulkinen – Review by Kerry Baker

License to Bite (New Orleans Nocturnes, #1)License to Bite by Carrie Pulkinen
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

License To Bite: A Paranormal Romantic Comedy by Carrie Pulkinen is the first book in the New Orleans Nocturnes series. This is a fun and highly entertaining book and a great new way of telling a vampire story.
What a brilliant way to start a new series! Carrie Pulkinen has definitely set the bag high for this series. This book was so entertaining and absolutely hilarious. I loved how feisty and loud Jane turns out to be, and how completely surprised Ethan is by this.
What ensues between them is just out and out good story telling. The author weaves her words in such a way that it creates a unique and interesting book. If this is only the first in the series then I cannot wait to see what else she has in store for us.

Of Magic & Scales by Natalina Reis – Review by Kerry Baker

Of Magic and ScalesOf Magic and Scales by Natalina Reis
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Of Magic and Scales by Natalina Reis is a sweet, heart warming story that is a mixture of romance and magic. This is a M/M romance with two lovely characters that you will definitely get behind.
Natalina Reis is one of those authors that has a way of creating a lasting story. They always draw you in and keep you reading, right the way through to the last page. The characters in this book are what made it for me. They were so likeable, relatable. Even with the fantasy element. They were such interesting and diverse characters.
The story was also well written. It was developed well and kept moving along nicely. The author’s writing style is soft and engaging and creates a story you won’t want to put down. This is well wroth reading and is one I would suggest you try today!

A Moore Affair by Michele Sims is the fourth book in the Moore Family Saga. Personally I would recommend reading this series in order to fully understand all the build up, although it is not strictly necessary.

High Fae Academy - Year One: Fae Paranormal RomanceHigh Fae Academy – Year One: Fae Paranormal Romance by Kaylin Peyerk
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

High Fae Academy – Year One: Fae Paranormal Romance by Kaylin Peyerk is an exciting start to a new series. You are drawn into this book immediately and will find yourself flying through it.
This is a new author to me so I was looking forward to starting the book. I did feel at times like the story was a little rushed, or lacked a bit of depth to it. However the characters in the book more than made up for it. What a journey they will take you on. I was as torn as the MC in this book as to who I was more drawn to. I connected with all of them and really enjoyed getting to know them all.
This book was a great way to learn about this author and I am looking forward to what comes next in the series.

SerenadeSerenade by T.K. Lawyer
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Serenade by T.K. Lawyer is a brilliant example of a shifter story. Kingsley and Eva are clearly just right for each other no matter how much they may want to resist.
I really found myself sinking into their story and their character development. I found them to be quite and intense couple. The story itself was well written. As the reader you are drawn in and it was hard to put down. If this is the genre that you enjoyed reading then I would definitely say to give this one a go.

I enjoyed reading about the main character. She was frustrating and imperfect which made her so much better to read about! It felt like she was more real because of this which meant that she was more relatable.
The overall story line was good. It kept you engaged throughout and definitely makes you want to read the next in the series. This was a great introduction to this author and it is a book I’ve thoroughly enjoyed.

A Gentleman's Stipulation (The Scarlet Salon, #4)A Gentleman’s Stipulation by Jean Wilde
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

A Gentleman’s Stipulation by Jean Wilde is the fourth book in the Scarlet Salon series. This is steamy romance set in the regency era. It has all the hallmarks of a great regency book, including sassy heroine and dark brooding hero.
I really enjoyed this enemies to lovers romance. The chemistry between the two main characters was electric, you could feel it ok each page.
The story was interesting. The author developed it well, setting the scene then building it throughout. It was easy to lose yourself in the pages of this book for a while. This is a new author to me but I enjoyed her work. I will definitely read more in the future.

Music Man (Romance in Rehoboth Book 1)Music Man by K.L. Montgomery
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Music Man by K.L. Montgomery is the first book in the Romance in Rehoboth series. This is a fun and charming series with highly relatable and amusing characters.
I always love picking up a book in this series as they always feel so real and engaging. You can easily picture these characters as though they were people you would see every day. Reading about them is always so entertaining – you will laugh, you will cry, you will rage and you will fall in love.
This book had it all and then some. I was hooked by the time I finished the first few pages. K.L. Montgomery is one of those authors that has a unique writing style. She seems to be able to turn her hand to anything she tries. She has easily become one of my favourite authors and I cannot recommend her work highly enough.

P.A.W.S. (The P.A.W.S. Saga, Book 1) by Debbie Manber Kupfer – Review by Kerry Baker

P.A.W.S.P.A.W.S. by Debbie Manber Kupfer
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

P.A.W.S. by Debbie Manber Kupfer is the first book in the The P.A.W.S. Saga. This is an entertaining book with interesting characters.
So I would definitely say this book is ideal for younger readers. I do enjoy reading young adult stories although I did find this one was probably my limit on how far I would go down. That being said for anytime that likes this genre it is definitely a book worth reading.
The story was interesting and varied. I liked that different lore was combined in the book to create an in-depth world. The characters were fun to read about – the bad and the good. The range of personalities, and their links to their animal shapes, was done well.
This is was a great book and one I enjoyed.

Age of Secrets (The Druid’s Brooch Series Book 8) by Christy Nicholas – Review by Kerry Baker

Age of Secrets (Druid's Brooch: #8)Age of Secrets by Christy Nicholas
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Age of Secrets by Christy Nicholas is the eighth book in the Druid’s Brooch series. This book is as original and enticing as the other books in the series.
Not many authors are skilled enough to carry a series though a few books, let alone 8 of them. And yet with each book this author produces the series just gets better.
This book is everything I have come to expect – it is creative and detailed. The author has a writing style that makes it so easy to imagine the world she is envisioning. The characters have such a depth to them that it is almost like you are there with them, experiencing everything they do.
I have to say this series is nothing at all like I expected when I picked up the first book. I was hesitant, sure that I wouldn’t like it and now I can’t wait to see what might be next. This is a great book and a fantastic addition to the Druids Brooch series.

From the moment I read the blurb if this book I was intrigued. I had to know what was going on immediately. The book held up to the expectations I had too. There was clearly so much more going on than you would initially expect.
The book was full of twists and turns; the author really knows how to keep you on your toes – and the edge of your seat! It is an edgy story with some compelling characters. I would highly recommend trying this book!

Cade by A.S. Roberts is the third book in the Default Distraction series. Each of these books can be read as standalones although personally I think they are best read in order as you learn about the characters from the start.

I am really enjoying this series. Each book seems to be better than the last, even when I can’t believe the author could make it any better. The stories and gripping and the characters are varied and interesting. I find they are all capturing my attention but all for completely different reasons. This is an extremely good series and one I would recommend.

Mountains Series Boxed Set: (Books 1-3)Mountains Series Boxed Set: by Phoebe Alexander
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The Mountains Series by Phoebe Alexander is an amazing series that I cannot recommend highly enough. It is a series that does need to be read in order as it follows the same characters the whole way through.
The author has done a fantastic job of creating such lasting and strong characters. I found myself thinking of them even when I was not reading the books. I was behind them the whole way, even when it isn’t clear if they will find their way or not.
The books are so well written. The continuation of the story is done with absolute ease. It never felt like it was drawn out or that the story was getting “old”. The author keeps it fresh and engaging through all 3 books.
Phoebe Alexander has to be one of my favourite authors. I will happily read anything she writes. This series is no different and I would strongly advise you read it immediately.
