Who: A Stalker Series by Megan Mitcham – Review by Kerry Baker

Who (Stalker, #1)Who by Megan Mitcham
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Who: A Stalker Series by Megan Mitcham is an intense and gripping story of one woman and her battle with a stalker.
Larkin has fought her way to success. And she is continuing to fight her board of directors to get what she wants. But she finds herself needing to take a step back when she starts receiving threatening messages.
With her life taking a sinister turn Larkin has to work hard to keep everything from falling apart. Because if she doesn’t, she could lose not only her career but also her life.

This book was incredible. The plot was so intriguing from start to finish. The number of times o thought I had everything figured out only to then change my mind. I loved how this author kept me on my toes throughout. I also really enjoyed Larkin’s character. She is the kind of character that completes makes a book – strong but with the softer side. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this.

Credence Woods by Alexandria Sure – Review by Kerry Baker

Credence WoodsCredence Woods by Alexandria Sure
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Credence Woods by Alexandria Sure is a book that will capture all of your emotions and not let them go.
This is a book that I have been waiting for, for so long. I didn’t realise this was the follow up to In The Pursuit of Charity until I was a few chapters in but once I did nothing could have made me put this book down.
This book tore my heart to shreds more than once, and in ways I didn’t expect, only to slowly, page by page, but the pieces back together again. This book had me smiling and it had me crying. I was just as immersed in this book as I was he first even though it wasn’t the story I expected it would be.
Alexandria Sure is an incredible author whose writing grips hold and won’t let you go, even after you have finished reading. I love how she writes the story that the characters deserve, taking you as the author on a journey. This book was absolutely brilliant and I cannot recommend it more.

Joker’s Fool (Satan’s Devils MC) by Manda Mellett – Review by Kerry Baker

Joker's Fool (Satan's Devils MC #8)Joker’s Fool by Manda Mellett
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Jokers Fool by Amanda Mellett is a Satan’s Devils MC novel. Full of intrigue and tension and will be sure you draw you in.
I’m not sure what I was expecting when I read this book but I hadn’t been expecting it to be about two male main characters. However I think, for me, that just made it so much better. I didn’t see it coming so when it did it sucked me straight in.
I loved that both characters were flawed, t made them so perfect for each other. And I loved that the author didn’t just rely on it being a M/M story, that there actually a great storyline.
I have read other books by Manda Mellett but I have to say this one is definitely my favourite so far.

Self Love: A British Tale of Woe and Wit by TL Clark – Review by Kerry Baker

Self LoveSelf Love by T.L. Clark
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Self Love: A British Tale of Woe and Wit by TL Clark is an easy read an a great way to pass a few hours.
The book is about Molly, a florist who is hoping to be able to change her ways in order to find happiness. It is a story that most will be able to relate to in one way or another as there isn’t ever a person that hasn’t questioned things at one time or another.
The story to the story is a bit awkward I found. It felt a little difficult to get through and to engage with. However I am pleased I stuck with it as for the most part the story was enjoyable and it even had me laughing at times. I especially liked that the humour was very British. Being British myself I find it appealing when I come across a book that has this type of humour to it. All in all a good book.

The Boss by Abigail Owen – Review by Kerry Baker

The Boss (Fire's Edge, #1)The Boss by Abigail Owen
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The Boss by Abigail Owen is an unexpected but brilliant story.
Finn knows heartbreak. He knows the pain of loss. And he knows that it isn’t worth going through for a second time. Instead he has made his team of dragon enforces his family, that way he won’t have to risk anything again.
He definitely won’t have to risk finding his mate and putting her through the same process that killed his last mate.
But then he meets Delaney. Clueless Delaney who doesn’t understand why fires keep occurring around her. Who has had to rely on him and his team for protection. Finn is determined not to fall for her, not to put himself through the same again. But he might not have a choice in the matter when someone else steps up to claim her.

I was really excited to get stuck into this book and it certainly didn’t disappoint. I found this to be an interesting and unique story. I loved Finn. I thought it was really easy to become invested in his story and his emotions. Delaney, for me, was exactly right for him. I am hoping we get to see more from these enforcers in the future!

Give and Take (The Thorne Brothers) by Lee Kilraine – Review by Kerry Baker

Give and Take (The Thorne Brothers, #2)Give and Take by Lee Kilraine
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Give And Take (The Thorne Brothers) by Lee Kilraine is a highly entertaining book that will keep you laughing to the end.
Wyatt has always been the quiet type. Starting from when he was just a kid it has extended into adulthood. He doesn’t feel the need to talk incessantly, but he will speak when necessary.
And then Rhia moves in to the empty office space he and his brothers have. Rhia who is a whirlwind in comparison. Rhia who always wants to talk. Rhia who loves to push his buttons.
The chemistry between them is instant but they two couldn’t be more different if the tried. However, they do say opposites attract…

This book was brilliant. It is exactly what you need to just lose yourself entirely for a few hours. It was funny – the interaction between Wyatt and Rhia was just great. It was steamy – their chemistry was absolutely off the charts. And the story was all there as well. This is easily one of the most entertaining books I have read this year. A brilliant read.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Touchdown: A Steamy Football Romance by Alexa Summers is the first book in The Big Apple series. This book is everything you can want from a sports romance.

But when she takes it too far one day her current subject, Brock, demands an apology from her. And things can only go wrong when she doesn’t feel like she has anything to apologise for.

This book is fantastic. It was funny, entertaining as well as being steamy and captivating. Brock and Lexi have such great chemistry you can feel it coming off the pages as you read. This was a new author to me and I was blown away by how easily she grabbed and held my attention throughout. A brilliant book.

The Jack (The Immortal Series Book Two) by M.K. Harkins – Review by Kerry Baker

The Jack (The Immortal Series Book Two)The Jack by M.K. Harkins
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The Jack by M.K. Harkins is the second book in The Immortal series. As good as the first book this book will be sure to keep you reading to the end.

And yet the sparks between them are a bit hard to ignore. And when they are forced to work together more closely than anticipated it might be that the mission is no longer quite that simply.

This series is genuinely shaping up be to great. Another book that is just as riveting as the first was. I love the way this author fully immersed you in this world of Jacks and Readers. It is so easy to imagine yourself as part of the world they live in. I loved that you could also feel Archer’s turmoil and the difficult position he is in. This was a great book and I am looking forward to what else is to come.

Neverland by Melissa Jane – Review by Kerry Baker

NeverlandNeverland by Melissa Jane
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Neverland by Melissa Jane is a twisted yet intriguing story and one that will have you hooked.
I had no idea what to expect going into this story. It was a relatively new author for me, having only read one of her books previously, and the blurb was great at piquing my interest without really giving anything away. And the emotional impact this book gives you makes it all entirely worth it. I was on the edge of my seat throughout most of this book, heart in my throat. I finished this book in one sitting because I just had to keep reading and find out what would happen next.
This book easily had tears running down my face and yet I still couldn’t turn away. I liked how, although there is a romance story within this book, it isn’t the primary focus as such. I liked that the book had so much more about it. I also liked that this author wasn’t scared to step over that line. If you are going to write a book as dark and depraves as this then there is nothing more frustrating as a reader when the author stops short of achieving the full goal. However Melissa Jane not only passed that line but she did so successfully and tastefully. It was written so well. This is definitely one of my favourites of the year so far and I am excited to have found a new author.

Must Remember (Solum, #1)Must Remember by Colleen S. Myers
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Must Remember: dead or alive they want her back by Colleen Myers is he first book in The Solum series. It is a unique and intriguing story that will have you on the edge of your seat from start to finish.
Beta is one of the lucky ones. She survived and was rescued by the E’mani. However their rescue comes at a high cost. That cost? The torture and experiments they subject her to for years.
Having finally escaped Beta finds herself wandering their world, without any memory of her past, trying to stay alive and out of their grasp.
To make matters worse Beta starts displaying old magic. Magic that sets her apart. It becomes imperative that Beta remembers what happened to her, or she could find herself in even more trouble.

This book had me intrigued from the start. It had so many different elements that I couldn’t wait to see how it would all come together. Beta’s part in the story was interesting and only got better to read about as the book went on. I loved reading about her as a character and the way she was portrayed. And when the Fost were introduced it just got even better for me. This book was well put together and knows how to take you, as the reader, on a journey. A great start to a new series.

The Only One by Necie Navone is the fiesta book on the Brothers of Camelot series. A story of two people torn apart, desperate to find their way back to each other.

The connection between these characters is palpable and so utterly enthralling. Everything in me wanted them to be able to find a way to make things work for them. This also ha to be one of the best book covers I’ve seen for a while. It catches your eye so easily, draws you in and propels you into a great story. This book is well worth reading.

Releasing the Demons by L.D. Rose – Review by Kerry Baker

Releasing the DemonsReleasing the Demons by L.D. Rose
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Releasing The Demons (Order of the Senary) by LD Rose is a great example of a dystopian fantasy book.
Blaze and Valerie should be the last thing each of them wants. Blaze because of his past and the scars it has left him with. Valerie because the death of her sister and the mission it provides her. However these are also the very reasons why they need each other.
The same thing has destroyed their lives – vampires. Vampires if responsible for causing each of them pain. Responsible for tearing them apart. And with one of them determined to hunt down Blaze, the two of them need to work together to put an end to their nightmares.
But can each of them overcome what has happened? Can Valerie get over her distaste for the supernatural? Can Blaze overcome his trusts issues after the torture he has suffered. It might be the only chance for them both to move on.

This is the first book I have read by this author but it certainly won’t be the last. The book had me hooked right from the word go. I was so intrigued by Blaze and everything that had happened to him. And for him to be pursued yet again by his tormentors, I just couldn’t wait to see what would happen. And Valerie was the perfect fit with his character. Everything about them worked so well. I loved the authors writing style, the way the words completely painted the picture in my mind of what was happening. This was a great way to discover a new author and I am excited to read more.

Small Town Hero by Kim Koby – Review by Kerry Baker

Small Town Hero (Small Town Brides, #1)Small Town Hero by Kim Koby
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Small Town Hero by Kim Koby is the first book in her Small Town Brides series. This book will make you fall so deeply for the characters you will wish you could read about them forever.
Rebecca has everything she could possibly want. That is until she catches her fiancé in bed with her best friend. Unable to continue on with her life as it is she flees, desperate to get away.
Which is when she meets Ryan. He is broken thanks to his own troubles past. That tends to be what happens when your girlfriend walks away from you when you propose.
Drawn to each other neither one knows if they will be able to put their grief behind them and move on. But surely they have to try. And with their connection there has never been a better time.

I absolutely loved Rebecca and Ryan. There was something about both of them that just had me falling so deep into heir story. I hoped and prayed they would find a way to make things work. I kept everything crossed that they would be able to move on with each other. Their story was so convincing and easy to easy about. The authors writing style kept the story flowing so well. This isn’t an author I have read before but I will definitely be looking at in the future!
