My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Paladins Hell by Manda Mellett is the first book in the Satan’s Devil Mc Colorado Chapter. This book is a spin-off of her previous series.
Everything about this book for me was all about the emotions. I was sucked in from the start and could not let go of these characters. They fully took me on their journey from the moment I read the blurb. I knew that I wanted them to work and that I wanted them to find a way.
This author is one I am growing to love with every book I read. I cannot recommend this author enough!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Surviving Jordan by Virginia Wine is the third book in the Surviving Series. This book can be read as a stand-alone but it would be advisable to read them in order to get the full level of detail.
For me this has been the best book of the series so far. It was interesting – full of secrets and intrigue. The author captured your attention effortlessly and immediately and keeps you immersed in the story all the way through.
I love how she develops her characters and the story, in both this book and the series. This is a brilliant series and one I would truly recommend.

  1. The Crazy Yates by Kimberly Packard is a heartwarming short story. This book will draw you into the characters and have you invested in them in no time at all.
    Callie is a girl who just needs a break. But will she be able to find one?
    Not only Callie but her whole family is one that you cannot help but fall in love with. The authors managed to pack so much into this little book but it doesn’t at any point seem rushed. This is a great short story to lose yourself in easily.View all my reviews

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The Progeny Assassin: A Tarnished Lands story by P.A. Wikoff is the second book in the Forgotten Lands series. This book can be read separate to the first although in my opinion you will be missing out.
It had been a while since I have read book 1 and I loved jumping back into the Tarnished Lands world. This author has a way of painting a picture so that it is so easy to imagine the characters and what is happening.
This particular book is fast paced and intense. It feels like you are taken on a wild journey, right alongside Lara. It is adventurous and exciting and an all round enjoyable read.
I would definitely recommend not just this book and series but also this author.

Surviving the Storm by Virginia Wine is the second book in the Surviving Series. This book can be read as a stand-alone.
For me this whole book was about the characters. I could feel the chemistry between them from their first meeting and felt it throughout the book.
The author knows how to develop the story and keeps you hooked from the start. I loved the first book but this book was easily even better than the first. Although you do not need to read the first book I would highly recommend you do as it is a great series to read. I can’t wait to see what else is to come.

For The Love of Laura Beth by Aubrey Wynne is the fourth book in the A Chicago Christmas series. This book is highly emotional and do everything it can to tug at your heat strings.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Beats of the Heart Charli B. Rose is the first book in the Lyric Odyssey Rockstars series. This book is part one of two, the second book will continue the story of Izzy and Dawson.
This book is a great rockstar romance. It has everything you could want – best friends, lovers, angst. I love the fact that the author knew enough about these characters to see their story couldn’t be told in just one book. It ensures that nothing about this story felt rushed. It was paced it well with great flow.
And the characters are such interesting ones to read about. Izzy and Dawson honestly left my head spinning.
I absolutely cannot wait to see what cook two holds in store for them.

Leaving Jackson WolfLeaving Jackson Wolf by P.A. Kane
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Leaving Jackson Wolf by P.A. Kane is a brilliant coming of age novel. This if the first book I have read by this author and I am blown away by how amazing it was. It is a unique story of two young boys, friends to only each other, on the outskirts of the teenage society. This novel really explores what their life is like and true troubles they have to face in a daily basis.
Everything about this book is the two characters. It is entirely their story being told. The author really goes into them in great depth, without really any distractions from the story or other characters.
He really knows how to grab your attention as well. The blurb is purposely vague and doesn’t really give away what to expect. It does nothing to prepare you for how deeply you will get sucked into this novel. A brilliant story, one I will be thinking about for a long time.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Souls Collide by Kristina Beck is the third book in the Collide series. This book utterly blew me away from start to finish. Alexa and Kent are simply just wow. The way they worked together is incredible. You can feel the connection between the two of them; you can feel the conflict they feel and how that progresses into so much more.
This book is full of suspense and it will keep you on the edge of your seat right through to the very end.
I also have to point out the cover on this book and how incredible it looks. It is eye catching and pulls you in before you even read a single word. It fits the book to a tee and has to be one of my favourite covers of all.
Everything about this book is amazing. Do yourself a favour and start reading today!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Forgetting Ophelia : A Novel by Julie C. Gardner is a story that highlights how everything is not always as it seems, even to those who think everything is perfect.
This is an entirely new author to me and I was sucked in straight away with how well the story seemed to flow. The story development felt natural and easy and the characters all had a great depth to them.
I expected that this book would have a lot of emotional aspects however I didn’t expect to feel quite as emotional as I did. I really felt like you connected with Lia in this story, and the more you read the more invested in her future you become.
I thought this book was a great introduction to this author and has certainly whet my appetite for more of her work.

Surviving Eden (Surviving Series Book 1)Surviving Eden by Virginia Wine
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Surviving Eden by Virginia Wine is the first book in the Surviving series. This book is one that centres around a taboo subject so might not be for everyone. However this book is definitely worth reading if you give it a go.
I was unsure as to how I would feel about this bill at first but when I got into I enjoyed the story. Although it is based around an older man/younger woman romance to me it almost had the same feel as a best friends sibling type story – forbidden fruit that you just can’t help but sample.
The author writes so well that you are drawn into the story gently and she quietly gets you hooked. Having read other books by this author I knew this would be enjoyable but I was surprised by just how much I liked it. It is a well developed plot with well developed characters. I would definitely recommend giving this book a try.

When a debtor drops dead at her feet Karina quickly becomes a person of interest. In a bid to help herself she begins her own investigation. But can she work out who is responsible before she is blamed?
This book is just as good as the first. It is well written and captivated you immediately. It is faced paced and will keep you on the edge of your seat. As much as o tries to guess who was responsible the author did such a good job at misdirection that I never could figure it out. A brilliant book.

The Confectioners Truth by Claire Luana is the third book in the Confectioner Chronicles. This book is the epic conclusion to an amazing series. I would highly recommend reading these in order as they won’t make much sense if you don’t.
Wren and her allies are on the run and facing a new a greater enemy. Will they be able to triumph?
This series has honestly got better and better with each book. I could never wait to see what would happen next. I loved jumping back into Wren’s adventure with each new story in the series.
As always with this author the book was well written and utterly captivating. The way she draws you in and keeps you engaged so effortlessly through the whole series is addictive. Whenever I pick up a book of hers I know to set aside a chunk of time as I won’t be able to put it down. I cannot recommend this book and series enough.

Snatching Dianna by Seelie Kay is the first book in the Fiesty Lawyers series. This is a fast paced and intriguing tale of a young girl who may have been taken as part of a Slavs trafficking cartel and one law professors race against time to try and save her/m.
This is an entirely new author for me and I found her writing style to be gripping. I wasn’t overly sure from the blurb that I would be able to get into this book however I found myself hooked quickly.
The author easily juggles the dark side of this book with the fun and entertaining side she brings to it.
From what I can gather you are introduced to these characters in a different story however I never felt like I was missing out from having not read it. A great book I thoroughly enjoyed.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The Moon in Her Eyes: A Witches Tale by Nikki Broadwell is a unique and interesting story of a witch whole travels through time and the consequences she faces from doing so.
This book is part of a series although the books do not have to be read in order. But it is a bit unclear from the titles that this is the case.
This book is absolutely incredible. I knew from the description that I would be taken on such a journey but I could not have imagined just what that journey would consist of. The story was rich and detailed, making it so easy to envisage what was happening. The characters were creative and relatable, which is impressive when the author is writing about a witch from the 1600’s!!
This author thoroughly grabs your attention and holds you captive all the way through the book. She sets the pace well and develops the story with ease. This is a brilliant book and one I would highly recommend.

  1. Untrainable by Jamie Schlosser is a fun and easy read that will keep you entertained from page 1.
    Hadley and Theo are probably two of my favourite characters that I have read about recently. I really found myself just getting lost in their story – Theo the disgraced reality star as Hadley with the budding show biz career.
    The whole premise of the story was fun and engaging. I couldn’t wait to see what happened to them when they starred in the show together.

Claiming Her Mates by Dia Cole is the first book in the paranormal shifter series. This book is a hot and steamy tale of Havana and her three protectors.
This book is a very strange mix of paranormal and yet somehow it works. Shifters and zombies is not something I have seen together before, probably die a good reason, and get this author has created a story that combines these elements in a way that is believable.
At times I felt the story could have used a bit more detail to it however it was exiting and an intriguing read. I am interested to see how the rest of this series develops.

This whole series has been great to read, enjoyable, entertaining and amusing. I would definitely recommend reading this series.

Degrees of Power by Via Mari is the fourth book in the Prestian series. This series does need to be read in order as it follows one couple throughout their journey, each book picking up where the last one left off.
The author really knows how to keep a story going. Four books in and I still enjoyed reading every second of Kate and Chase’s story. I really like how all the way through the book, as with the series, I just never knew which way it might turn. I never knew quite what to expect from the author and her story.
As with the others this book flowed well. It was fast paced and gripping while also knowing when to take a step back. The characters were as interesting as they always are. I can’t wait to see if there will be more to follow.

Beachcomber Gone by Stephanie Queen is the ninth book in the Beachcomber Investigations series. This book can be read as a stand-alone although we are introduced to these characters in previous books. For this reason I would recommend reading in order although it isn’t necessary.
This book has a little bit of everything. It has the romance. It has the action. It has emotions. It has a well written and thought it story. And most importantly it has main characters that you want to read about. The author pulls you into their story from the moment you start reading them, be it in this book or previous books. The story developed suits them and the way they are makes it more exciting to read.
The book is fast paced and takes you, as the reading, an exciting journey. This is a great book and a brilliant series.

I loved the detail the author goes into with the book and the complexity of the story. It adds a depth to the book in a way that I’ve not read for a while. An overall great book.

A Pink Christmas Kiss by Allyson R Abbott is the third book in her Christmas Kiss series. Each of these books can be read as a stand-alone and they are all as good as each other.
For me this has to have been the sweetest story out of them all so far. Small town romance gone wrong. It had everything you could want out of this type of book. Billie and Leroy are exactly how I imagine small town characters to be.
Like the others, this book was an easy read, that was perfect to just get lost in for a few hours. Another enjoyable story.

Only This Tuesday: A Copper Mills novella by Melissa Keir is a quick and easy read.
A Mayor and a Taco Truck owner, there shouldn’t be any problems there. However throw in a bit of controversy and a lot of small town gossip and things won’t be quite so plain sailing.
This was a completely new author for me and I have to say I enjoyed the easy, flowing style that her writing showcased. The characters were enjoyable and relatable and the story was a fun and interesting one. This was a relatively quick read but it never felt like I was missing anything from the story. This was a great book and I am looking forward to seeing more of Melissa’s work.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Rhapsody and Rebellion (Once Upon a Widow) by Aubrey Wynne is the seventh book in the Enduring Legacy series. This book can be read as a stand-alone.
This is a great example of historical romance. I sometimes find these books hard to get into as they aren’t set in our time but there was no issue at all with this book. You are drawn into the characters and the story straight away.
My other issue with historical romance is that I find the stories tend to be quite boring but that it also not the case with this book. I found the story to be quite exciting. I loved the political edge to the book and how the characters were caught up in the intrigue of it all.
And the two main characters were so easy to read about. Right away I knew I wanted a happy ending for them because they were engaging characters.
Overall this is a great book and one I am pleased to have discovered.

This book is fast paced, intense and was so enthralling it had me on the edge of my seat. There were times when I could feel my heart beating so hard that I couldn’t turn the pages fast enough. I absolutely had to know what was going to happen next.
It really felt like you were there with the characters, fighting alongside them every step of the way.
While this book can be read as a stand-alone – it is the first book I have read by this author – I can see how it would be beneficial to read the previous books in this series. I know I will be going straight back to read them! This was a brilliant book and one I can say I highly recommend.

A Tangy Christmas Kiss by Allyson R. Abbott is the second book in the Christmas Kiss series. This book can be read as a stand-alone.
This book is a fun and lovable holiday romance about a woman trying to help out her family. It isn’t as straight forward as it should be and hilarity soon follows.
I really enjoyed this book because it was one of those stories that you could easily just lose yourself in for a few hours. You can turn off reality and just enjoy a well written and entertaining story.
The main character Mel was delightful to read about. She takes everything in her stride – even though everything is going wrong. I liked how, despite it being an odd request, she still helps out her family.
This was a great book and a good addition to the series.
