Degrees of Power by Via Mari – Review by Kerry Baker

Degrees of Power (Prestian Series, #4)Degrees of Power by Via Mari
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

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.

The Confectioner's Coup (Confectioner Chronicles, #2)The Confectioner’s Coup by Claire Luana
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The Confectioners Coup by Claire Luana is the second book in the Confectioner Chronicles. This series ideally needs to be read in order as it follows the same character on her journey.
This author effortlessly pulls you back into Wrens story and the troubles she is facing. With new enemies and a dangerous mission ahead of her Wren has to put her wits and courage to the test once more.
This series for me keeps getting better. Each book is a new turn in the road and it is making this a very exciting journey. I found this book to be fast paced and intriguing. I cannot wait to see what book 3 has in store!

Beachcomber GoneBeachcomber Gone by Stephanie Queen
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

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.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Venganza: The Fuentes Legacy by Greta Cribbs is a dark and twisted story of how you can’t always escape your family ties, no matter how hard you try.
The authors pulls you deep into this book and has you captivated from the word go. As a prequel to the Fuentes Legacy series this book tells the story of Damien and Jenn. 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 KissA Pink Christmas Kiss by Allyson R. Abbott
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

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 NovellaOnly This Tuesday: A Copper Mills Novella by Melissa Keir
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

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.

Rhapsody and Rebellion (Enduring Legacy #7)Rhapsody and Rebellion by Aubrey Wynne
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.

Alive (Sundown Series Book 3)Alive by Courtney Konstantin
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Alive by Courtney Konstantin is the third book in the Sundown Series. This book can be read as a stand-alone.
Everything about this book intrigued me from the moment I read the blurb. It sounded exactly like the kind of book I enjoy and I have to say it certainly did not disappoint in entertaining.
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 KissA Tangy Christmas Kiss by Allyson R. Abbott
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

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.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Burning Night: where the ashes of the past awaken the future by Nikki Broadwell is a book that took me by surprise and became a story I wasn’t expecting.
The book is highly detailed and very emotional right from the work go. The author takes you on a journey, one that you might not expect, and keeps you fascinated.
The characters were so interesting to read about. You could feel the depth to them and you could believe everything they were going through and experiencing.
This book is well written, captivating and one I definitely think you should read.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Once Upon a Romance by Alex Bailey is the first book in A Dream Come True series. This book has everything you could want – romance, Disney magic and Christmas magic.
It is an emotional book about a little girl who has lost her mum and her aunts determination to make the first Christmas without her special. The author tells the story so well it is easy to imagine what the characters are going through.
Christmas story’s are not my favourite ones by any stretch but there was something about this book that just drew me in. It is easy to read but difficult to put down once you’ve started. A great book and one I thoroughly enjoyed.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Dangerous Ground: Tina and Chase’s story by Alice Rachel is the fifth book in the Under Ground series. This series really must be in read in order to understand the story line.
As I have come to expect from this author this book hooked me in right from the start. I always live delving back into this world as the characters as interesting, the story line is interesting and each book just seems to get better and better. With each book I feel even more as if I am part of the world. The writing style just makes you feel like you are there with the characters experiencing that they do.
The story was just as good riveting as the rest of the series. I cannot wait to read the next book.

A Second Chance (The Powder River Pack #1)A Second Chance by Brooke May
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

A Second Chance by Brooke May is the first book in the Powder River Pack series. It is a great story about fighting for what you want or learning to live with the hole it leaves behind.
This is a new author to me and I was excited to get into this book. The blurb promised an angsty tale and that is definitely what you get. I was drawn into Derek so easily. It was so easy to feel what he was going through. And it was easy to understands Annabelle’s decision over her new life and her old.
The story had good pace that flowed from start to end. There was never a point where my attention wandered or I thought there was too much going on. An enjoyable book, I am looking forward to the rest of the series.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Distant Memory: She Remembered Everything by Colleen S. Myers is the third book in the Solum series. This is a series that ideally needs to be read in order as it follows the same characters and the same story all the way through.
We are taken back into Beta’s world where she finally learns everything she had once forgotten. The book is as gripping and fast paced as the previous two have been. The author takes you on the journey with the characters. The whole way through I felt so invested in what was happening to them.
I really hope this isn’t the last of this series because it really has been a fantastic read.

F*cking Frank by Jen Luerssen is the first book in the Smirk series. This book will have you laughing all the way through. Even the blurb had me chuckling to myself so I knew I would enjoy the book.
I loved the fact that it was told from Frank’s POV. I have only ever read one other book like that in the romantic comedy genre and it is sub a refreshing take. I think that is why I also found it so funny – I can just imagine so many guys thinking the way Frank does.
This was a fantastic book and one I can highly recommend.

Degrees of Control by Via Mari is the third book in The Prestian series. This series must be read in order as it is a continuation that follows the same characters.
This is a strong series that really takes you in a ride. We are once again taken back into the lives of Kat and Chase. Lives that are as tumultuous as ever.
Each book successfully develops the characters and the story more, making sure you can’t get bored of reading about these two. This was as well written and fast paced as the previous two books. I am looking forward to the next.

A Must For Christmas by Deborah Garland is a novella in her Darling Cove series. This book can be read as a stand-alone although if you read the previous books first you will get all the characters build up.
This book makes a great addition to this series. It showcases the same great writing style that we have seen throughout all of the books. Although shorter than the others, as expected, it didn’t feel rushed and I was still as engaged with the characters as I was with the others.
An enjoyable book and one I would recommend reading.

Embattled Hearts (Lost and Found, #1)Embattled Hearts by J.M. Madden
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Embattled Hearts by J.M. Madden is the first book in the Lost and Found series. This is clearly the start of what will be a great series.
I do love reading a good military romance, especially when the H is injured in some way. So right from the start this book ticked a couple of boxes for me. Then throw in some interesting characters who worked well together. You could feel the attraction between them. Top it off with a well written and well thought out story line and you know you are in for a trolling ride.
I have read books by this author previously but this one is the one that probably caught my interest the easiest. It was full of action and kept the plot interesting from start to finish. A great book and I can’t wait to see what else is to come from this series.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

My Free Life: Prequel to The Brothers of Camelot by Necie Navone is the third book in her My Life series.
This series does just get stronger and stronger. It is fast paced, intense and thrilling to read. I was never quite sure which way the book would turn and that just made it all the more exciting. Would she get a free life? Would she forever be tied to her family?
This author has a strong and distinct writing style that fits this book, and series, perfectly. Although they are strong characters it feels like she has control of them and the story at all times. The author has a way of keeping your interest not just across one book but across them all. A brilliant series and I cannot wait to read more by this author.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Degrees of Acceptance by Via Mari is the second book in her A Prestian series. This series really does need to be read in order as this book picks up at the end of the last book.
This was a great continuation of Chase and Kate’s story. As it picked up where book one left off it was really easy to fall straight back into these characters and their story. It was fast paced and knew how to keep you, as the reader, hooked until the end.
The author does well to keep developing the characters so that you aren’t just reading the same thing. You can really see their journey and how it moves along.
I am looking forward to seeing what else the author does in book 3!

Never Let Me Fall by Abbie Roads is the third book in the fatal dreams series. This book can be read as a stand-alone although I will personally be going back to catch up on what I have missed!
This book caught my attention from the moment I read the blurb. I was intrigued by Thomas and his “inability” to see colour. I wanted to see how this would shape his work and his life.
And when Helena is introduced it really adds more definition to the whole story. This is a new author for me and I loved how easily she captured my interest and also how easily she held it throughout the whole book. This was an interesting and unique story that I throughly enjoyed.

Nathaniel by Carole Mortimer is the first book in the Dragon Hearts series. This book perfectly sets up what is clearly going to be a very enjoyable series.
Chloe never expects to find a story in the middle of her holiday to Wales. But once she realises there is one surrounding the cattle and it’s inhabitants then she knows she can’t leave until she has all the details.
Although a shorter story than I expected this book sure knows how to grab your attention. The chemistry between the two main characters was absolutely sizzling hot. I thought the author did very well to get so much detail into this book and it clearly really sets the premise for the rest of the series. I am looking forward to seeing what is next.

The Killmores by Martha Sweeney is the second part of this story. In order to fully understand the story they should be read in order.
As with the first book this one is fast paced and intense. I found myself constantly on the edge of my seat. I knew it was only a matter of time before everything caught up with Laurie, and although I was clearly rooting for a happy outcome, I also couldn’t wait to see what would happen when it did.
This book is full of twists and turns. The author knows how to grab your attention and she definitely knows how to not let go once she has it. This was a brilliant follow up to book one. I can highly recommend this series.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Say When by Bree Kraemer is the ninth book in her Cedarville series. This is such a strong series. Each book can be read as a stand-alone but I dare you to try and stop yourself from falling in love with this whole series.
Dani and Patrick have got to be my favourites so far. I found Dani to be so relatable. Which made it so easy to become very invested in her character and her story. I was desperate for the two of them to find a way to make things work, to learn how to communicate with each other.
And to make it even better it was a book about a best friends sister. They are always one of my favourite books and this was no exception.
As always with this series I found this book to be heartwarming and well written. My favourite so far and it has made me even more excited to read what else is to come.

Savannah’s Saviours by Bella Settarra is the fifth book in her Cowboys of County Cavern series.
Savannah has a dark past, one that is determined not to let her go, not to let her move on. But when she meets Tom and Greg she begins to think she can have a future.
However when it becomes clear the two of them have secrets Savannah doubts whether or not she will ever be free from her past.
This book is highly emotional and will have you hooked from start to finish. Savannah has had such a tough past and has fought to try and over come it. I felt it was so easy to become engaged with her character and her story. This is the first book I have read by this author and I was impressed with the way it flowed and how she developed the storyline. This was a book I thoroughly enjoyed.

The characters work really well together. I could feel the alpha male vibe coming from Steel from the moment I read the blurb. This book was very enjoyable and I will certainly be going back to look at the rest on the series.

Edward has wanted Skye for a long time. And when opportunity comes knocking he isn’t one to pass it up.
But will the secret Skye is keeping be too much for them? Will it break up any hope of a relationship? Or will they find a way past it?

I loved reading about Skye and Edward. They are such a great couple together. The way each of them has been written perfectly compliments the other. There is a great story to this book but the characters were it for me. I have enjoyed the other books in this series but so far this one has to be my favourite. A brilliant read.

This book definitely did not disappoint in any way at all. It was entertaining and funny and such an enjoyable read. This was an entirely new author for me and I just loved her way of telling this story. I cannot wait to read more of her work.

Bound by Blood by Carrie Pulkinen is the third book in her Crescent City Wolf Pack series. This book can be read as a stand-alone however I fully believe that you should read this whole series as it is that good.
The author has yet again weaved another tale that will hook you in from the start and keep you reading. I couldn’t wait to find out how Bryce would discover Alexis’s secret. The two characters worked really well together. They were both strong and could help themselves, however it was nice to see them be help to the other as well.
This series has been interesting so far and this book has been a great addition to it. The author really knows how to tell a great story and to keep you invested, not just in the book but in the whole series. I can’t wait to see what else is to come.
