Rafferty (Default Distraction #2) by A.S. Roberts – Review by Kerry Baker

Rafferty (Default Distraction #2)Rafferty by A.S. Roberts
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Rafferty by A.S. Roberts is the second book in the Default Distraction series. This book can be read as a stand-alone however, usual from most books, this one does recover scenes from book one but from a different perspective. For this reason I would recommend reading them in order.
I enjoyed every bit about this book – from the character, to the story to the depth of the emotions you can feel in each page. Books about a band aren’t normally my favourite as I find them to be quite predictable and one dimensional but that is definitely not the case with this series. The author has done a great job of creating a story so heartwarming and emotional that you can’t stop reading. I was rooting for Rafferty and Lauren all the way through.
I am very excited to see what else is to come from this series.

Reset to One (Paranormal Talent Agency, #2)Reset to One by Heather Silvio
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Reset To One by Heather Silvio is the second book on the Paranormal Talent Agency series. While these books can be read as stand-alone’s you do get characters recurring throughout, so reading throughout will help give you the full experience.
This book is a fun and entertaining read. The kind of book you start reading a few pages of to suddenly realise a few hours have passed and you have finished 6£3 book. It is entertaining and amusing with great characters and a great plot. The added bonus of the paranormal angle only serves to makes this book more enjoyable.
This series is the first I have read by this author and so far I am thoroughly enjoying her work. I cannot wait to read more.

Gamble on a CowboyGamble on a Cowboy by Melissa Keir
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Gamble on a Cowboy by Melissa Keir & D’Ann Lindun is a combination of 2 great books by 2 amazing authors.
These books were a great way introduce me to two new series. It gave a great insight into what they would be like. They were both lighthearted and easy to read, a great snapshot of what else is to come. The characters were all interesting and easy to connect with. Although short the stories had depth and held my interest well.
I have read Melissa Keir before so knew I would enjoy her work however D’Ann was new to me and I liked the way she had pace and the book had a good flow about it. I will be checking out more from both of these authors in the future for sure.

Flirty Dancing: A Spicy Romantic Comedy About the Afterlife (The Green Room Chronicles Book 3) by J.D. Frettier – Review by Kerry Baker

Flirty DancingFlirty Dancing by J.D. Frettier
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Flirty Dancing: A Spicy Romantic Comedy About the Afterlife by JD Frettier is the third book in the Green Room Chronicles. This book can be read as a stand-alone although it are introduced to the Green Room from book one.
As with the previous two books this story is highly entertaining. This time it is Kitty who ends up in this delightfully new version of purgatory and is left to navigate her way through this new world. Clearly there are antics and hilarity as she begins her whole new journey.
As usual the authors writing style did its job in grabbing my attention and holding on tight. I always find myself chuckling about something that happened in the book a couple of days later. They are light hearted and fun and are the perfect books to turn to when you need to unwind and switch off from “reality”. I am looking forward to seeing what might be next.

Pandora's Price (Hart & Cole Book 3)Pandora’s Price by Sacha T. Y. Fortuné
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Pandora’s Price by Sacha Y. Fortune is the third book in the Hart and Cole series. You do need to read this series in order as each one builds on the story the author has created and reading them out of order would diminish your understanding and enjoyment of them.
This book is just as good and intriguing as the other ones have been. I found myself turning the pages quick as I had to find out what would happen. I connected with the characters easily and really became invested in their story.
This is a very well written and complex book and one I would definitely recommend.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Everyday Enchantments: Musings on Ordinary Magic and Daily Conjurings by Maria DeBlassie is a book designed to get you thinking in a different way.
This book is one that was written in a different style to that which I am used to reading and I found that refreshing. I loved that the book was almost in nice little bite sized chunks for you. For myself, running around after a one year old, it made it so much easier to read. I could pick it up and put it down easily, falling straight back into the authors rhythm every time I did. It really helps you to reflect on your everyday life and news ways of thinking about things.
This is honestly the type of book that I never thought I would read but I am so glad I did. Brilliant from start to finish I would highly recommend everyone give this book a go!

Me and Cinderella by Kelly Mooney is the second book in the Dirty Rooster series. This book can be read as a stand-alone although trust me when I say you also want to read book one.

This was a fantastic book and one I highly recommend.

/0 Comments/in /by

Home is Where the Heart is: The Wilder SistersHome is Where the Heart is: The Wilder Sisters by Melissa Keir
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Home is Where the Heart is: The Wilder Sisters by Melissa Keir is a series about 5 sisters and their journey to find love. Each sister has their own novella length story and each story is warm and lighthearted.
I really enjoyed that all five of these books had their own distinctive stories and yet they all had the same feel about them. For me it helped lend to the fact that it was sisters I was reading about.
This is the type of book that is perfect for rainy afternoon. You can get yourself lost in the stories, in the romance and sweetness. You don’t have to think too hard about the books you simply find yourself immersed in them.
This isn’t my first read by this author and it certainly won’t be the last.

Linked: Can Empathy Save the United Terrestrial Democracy by Gaia B. Amman is an incredible dystopian romance story. The author creates a world that is so thrilling to read about and characters that you become so connected with. Everything about this book drew me in and I just had to find out what it was about. And then I had to find out more about the characters and their journey.
The author handles all the different components of the book with ease. I really felt like I was taken along the journey with the characters. The story was original and well crafted. This is a well deserved 5*!

Brody (Default Distraction Book 1) by A. S. Roberts – Review by Kerry Baker

/0 Comments/in /by

Brody (Default Distraction #1)Brody by A.S. Roberts
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Brody by A.S. Roberts is the first book in the Default Distraction series. If you like all things music and rock and roll then this is definitely a book for you.
Surely if you have everything anyone could dream of then you must be happy, right? Wrong. At least it is for Brody Daniels, lead singer of the chart topping US rock band Default Distraction. He is bored of the lifestyle, of the cars, the money, the women. But more than anything he is bored of the pretence. Of convincing everyone that he is happy all the time. He wants something more from his life. Something more than he can get from the music and the fame.
Amy Harper on the other hand definitely has something more. She has more debt than he will ever have. She has more struggles with her business than he will ever have. And she has definitely had more than enough of it all.
So what happens when the two of them meet? What happens when their worlds collide? Can they go back to their realities? Or can they push for something more, together?
This book has everything you could possible want. Hot rock star? Check. Strong woman? Check. Of the charts chemistry? Double check! I absolutely loved Brody and Amy together. I felt their connection and their chemistry from the instant they met. I found myself being swept away by their attraction. And this book wasn’t all about the connection. The story was such a good one because it was so relatable – we have all at one point or another wanted something more than we had. Even if we should have been happy with what we had. The writing keeps pace with this story beautifully and really holds your attention. Anyone who wants to be swept away needs to buy this book immediately.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Taming the Troublemaker by Kadie Scott is the third book in the Hills of Texas series. Each of these books can be read as a stand-alone.
Having read another in this series I knew what to expect when I picked up this book. However I didn’t expect to connect with this characters as much as what I did. I loved reading about Beth and Autry. They have such strong emotions for each other and I believed everything about them.
On top of that this was a great romantic story that was really heartwarming. The author creates a lovely journey for the two characters that is so easy to read. This is definitely s book worth reading.

This author is one that really knows how to tell a story and to get you, as the author, fully engaged. As always this was a great book and clearly the start of a great series.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Lights, Camera, Action by Heather Silvio is the first book in the Paranormal Talent Agency series. This book is a fun, fast paced story that is easy to lose yourself in.
For me I loved that this book was overly complicated. It was a great simple “who-dunnit” story. It felt like recently all I have read are books with complex stories so it was brilliantly refreshing to be able to pick this book up and lose myself for a few hours in these characters and the story.
This is a new author to me and I very much enjoyed how she writes. I am looking forward to reading the rest of this series.

North to Nara by Amanda Marin is the first book in the Crimson Sash series. This is a unique and interesting YA novel that everyone should try.
This story isn’t like one I have read before. The idea of having our emotions taken away to enable us to continue is intriguing if a little scary. The author does a great job of creating this world where everything appears to be perfect and yet hidden away are plenty of dark secrets.
This was a new author for me and I really enjoyed her writing style. It was engaging and knew how to keep the story going. This was a brilliant book and one I would recommend.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Seraphina’s Revolution by Sheena Hutchinson is the fourth book in the Seraphina series. This series does need to be read in order as it follows the same characters and each book is a continuation of the story.
This series honestly just gets better and better. Normally once I get a few books in I start to get bored of reading about the same characters but that hasn’t been the case with this series. Each book is exciting and fast paced. I love jumping back into Sera’s character each and every time. I feel like you really get to connect with her emotions and her journey.
Considering at first this was a series I wasn’t sure if I would enjoy it is how one I would highly recommend!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Knights Who Won My Heart by Sonya Jesus is the fourth book in the Knights series. This series, in my opinion, cannot be read as a standalone, you do need to read them all in order.
This whole series has been so well written. Even now when I know more about the characters I still find myself intrigued by each new book. I really like how the blurb just seems to add to the mystery each time. It makes it almost like you are starting fresh with each book, relearning all about the characters.
As with the previous ones this book has a great story that is interesting and varied. I found it to be fast paced and intense. The characters were well developed and just as engaging as they were in book one. An overall well written book and series.

Age of Saints by Christy Nicholas is the seventh book in the Druids Brooch series. Although this series follows the same family each book can be read as a stand-alone.
Having read a few books in this series it is clear that this author knows how to write deep and complex characters that will engage you as a reader every time you pick up the book. She also creates an elaborate story full of history and fantasy. The two elements combined in this way work so well.
For me this book has got to be my favourite of the series so far. I really enjoyed reading about Lainn. She is a character I connected with instantly and enjoyed reading about from start to finish. This was another good addition to a great series.

  1. WTF God: Understanding God in the Midst of Transition by Michelle N. Onuorah is a book that is designed to get you thinking. While the author uses her platform to evaluate her relationship with God everything she talks about can be applied to every life.
    The book is deep and thought provoking and really helps you to assess how you approach things that are happening.
    This is a new author to me and I was surprised by how much I enjoyed her writing style. It is refreshing to read an author who is so upfront and honest about their own experiences. This was on overall good book and one I would recommend.View all my reviews

Dancing Queen by Charlotte Roth is a heartwarming example of a story that takes body image issues and flips hem on their head.
This boo has everything. Not only does it tackle an issues that is so prevalent in today’s society but it does so with wit and humour. So many times I found myself chuckling at what was going on with the characters and the story.
But at the same time it gracefully handles an issue that most people, not just females, go through. It highlights body weight concerns and the author shows exactly why they should not hold you back.
This was, for me, a surprisingly refreshing read and one I enjoyed more than I expected.

Blades Edge by Manda Mellett is the 10th book in the Satan’s Devil’s MC series. Each of these books can be read as a stand-alone although I personally think you would be missing out on a great series if you didn’t read them all.
This book was such a good book. I loved how much depth the characters had to them, how much more there was to know about them than other books had indicated. I was intrigued to see how you could turn Blade’s character into something that resembled a “good” character. The author sure delivered.
As usual this book was fast paced and full of action and it is one I have very much enjoyed.

You are taken along the journey with the characters. I loved the fact there was a small child involved, I think it added a different dynamic to the story.
As a new author to me I didn’t know what to expect from Nina however I enjoyed her writing style and the detail in the book. She is someone I will definitely look to in the future.
