The Boss Prince (It’s Raining Royals) by Alix Nichols – Review by Kerry Carr

The Boss Prince (It's Raining Royals, #1)The Boss Prince by Alix Nichols
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I really loved this romance story. The author does an amazing job of mixing a romance and making it so funny at parts I actually laughed out loud. The author does a great job with her characters. I love Lucie. She is a funny straight talking woman and it’s her personality and attitude which adds the comedy to this book.

The story of Max and Lucie working together to find a key in a fan to save Max’s Royal family is a unique story. The attraction between them is immediate but with Max’s secret about being a prince and the job they have actually hired Lucie to do, could their relationship survive.
Will Lucie carry on with this job and not realise her real purpose or will she figure out that Max and his family are just using her in their quest to find a key.

Gone Country (Cousins Gone #1)Gone Country by Katrina Marie
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I really enjoyed this romance. It was very sweet and I loved the mixture of city girl and country boy. The character of Stella is great. And her personality as well as Johnny’s playfulness just jumps out of the pages

Deadly Words (Born Bad Book 1) by Meghan O’Flynn – Review by Kerry Carr

Deadly Words (Born Bad, #1)Deadly Words by Meghan O’Flynn
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is the first book in the Born Bad series and wow what a start. I loved it. This book is very dark and I love how the author gets into the mind of our lead character Poppy. She is able to give us an insight into the mind of someone who grew up with her father who was a psychopath. How has his action affected her? And she constantly worries about the question that plagues many criminal psychologists. Are psychopaths born evil? And if they are does Poppy have the same tendencies as her father? Is she a bad person?

With her father in jail for the murder of Poppy’s boyfriend and Poppy now an adult she is trying to move on with her life and recover from her past. However all this could be destroyed when a stranger who is writing a book about her dad turns up and says someone is watching him and he thinks it’s her dad.
Will Poppy believe him or will she think he is as paranoid as she is?
We are the dragged through a story full of twists and turns as we try to find out who is lurking in the shadows and we learn more secrets that Poppy has kept hidden all her life.
The reader will be throughly gripped and this book will get your mind thinking over the same question. Are people born evil?

Forever Valentine: A Sequel to Professor Valentine (Kirk University Series, Book 6) by Diana Vale – Review by Kerry Carr

Forever Valentine (Kirk University, #6)Forever Valentine by Diana Vale
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is  the sequal to Professor Valentine. It is an easy short read and follows on from the first book perfectly. This is a romance between a student and her professor(ex professor now) because of this the story is mainly based around the age gap and all the problems and concerns that arise from that.

We are back with Cassie and Diego 12 months after the last book ended. Cassie and Diego are  now living together and are facing challenges that their relationship brings such as people who approve of their relationship and those that don’t. They face challenges such as Cassie trying to complete her degree and Diego dealing with his divorce from his cocaine addicted ex wife. All this puts more pressure on the couple who are still finding their way together. Can they overcome all these additional pressures and views about their relationship or will it be too much for their young relationship.

A Natural Passion by Tammy Mannersly -Review by Kerry Carr

A Natural PassionA Natural Passion by Tammy Mannersly
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I really enjoyed reading this romance. Even though it’s a short story it is a complete one in the sense it all flows and makes sense.
I also loved the characters and the twist at the end I didn’t see coming.

Kyra is kinda caught between 2 men. Jake who’s a heart throb and ladies man, who claims to share her passion for nature and preserving wildlife and Dylan who is her mentor, who’s life is based around saving the turtles and preserving their life. Her attraction to both men is intense but she is unsure where her heart truelly lies.
Add to this story a mystery over who is poaching the turtles eggs and its an adventure which will leave you shocked when the person behind the thefts is revealed.

Stuck with the god of lust she waits for one of her other lovers to come rescue her. But she maybe waiting a while. How can she be saved when no one knows where she is?

My Soul to Give (A Demon's Love #1)My Soul to Give by Magali A. Fréchette
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I really enjoyed this book. It had everything I look for in  a book, murder, Paranormal and romance.

Swindler’s Revenge (Karina Cardinal Mysteries Book 5) by Ellen Butler – Review by Kerry Carr

Swindler's RevengeSwindler’s Revenge by Ellen Butler
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Swindler’s Revenge by Ellen Butler is the fifth book in the Karina Cardinal Mysteries series and the first one that I have read. Even though I was able to read this as a standalone I feel you would get a better understanding for the characters if the series was read in order.
This book is a book that love that grips you from the beginning and doesn’t let go. There are so many twists and turns in here that you can never predict what will happen next and I couldn’t put it down.

When Karina’s Saturday was disturbed by agents looking for her ex boyfriend she is shocked to discover he is wanted in connection of taking $1.2 million from his work. Now he’s gone missing.

Karina doesn’t believe it was him as its so out of character so she is now on a mission to find him before the agents do and unravel this case. Who is trying to set him up? Is he being set up or blackmailed? And what secrets and dangers will Karina find herself caught in trying to solve this case.

Slow Burn (Breathing Hearts, #2)Slow Burn by A.K. MacBride
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is a beautiful love story. The author does an amazing job of making the characters believable and relatable. The story itself will take you on a rollercoaster of emotions from feeling high and on top of the world to then plunging down into the darkest depths.

No Way Out (Mafia Elite, book 1) by Amy McKinley – Review by Kerry Carr

No Way Out (Mafia Elite, #1)No Way Out by Amy McKinley
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is a great start to the series. I love Mafia romances and this one is definately a great one. The story was easy to read. Some Mafia stories can get confusing with the different families  but the author makes the families easy to follow. Liliana is an amazing character. I love her fighting spirit and how strong and determined she is to save herself. Max is your typical alpha who is out to regain what was taken away from him by destroying the people in his way and protecting the people he loves.

Liliana is the daughter of the Mafia boss Benito. Even though she looks and acts like a proper Mafia princess the reality is much different. All she is to her father is a possession, something he can use to get what he wants out of life. Liliana  is desperate to leave and get out from under her father’s rule but her only hope is to change one guilded  cage for another by marrying someone her father chooses.

Max has been sent in undercover by Liliana’s grandfather. His mission is to get Liliana away from her father and keep her safe. Hopefully taking down her dad’s drug business in the process so that he can regain what should be rightfully his. What Max didn’t expect was to fall for the Mafia princess. Now he had a problem can he keep his cool and stop himself from showing his feelings while at the same time protecting her from danger? Or will his cover be blown resulting in putting himself and Lilian in danger.

Scarlet Princess (Lochlann Feuds Book 1) by Robin D. Mahle and Elle Madison – Review by Kerry Carr

Scarlet Princess (The Lochlann Feuds, #1)Scarlet Princess by Robin D. Mahle
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I really enjoyed this story. It was exciting and captivating from the first page to the last. I loved the romance element. How two people fall in love when they really shouldn’t. The author does an amazing job bring the characters to life. Princess Rowan is a great character. I like her because she is headstrong and very strong willed. She has a great sense of humour which comes through the pages.

Princess Rowan is a risk taker and when she takes a risk, her and her cousin end up getting captured by a rival clan. Now facing the realisation that she may lose her life she plans to enjoy the time she has left. What she doesn’t expect is to fall on love with a man from this rival clan.

Unable to deny their feelings they have some problems to cover come. Namely will this clan ever accept Rowan as one of their own or will the union between the couple start off another war between both sides  or could it finally be the things to bring the sides together and for peace?

Return to Alpha by Wesley Britton – Review by Kerry Carr

Return To Alpha: A new saga beginsReturn To Alpha: A new saga begins by Wesley Britton
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is a really good Sci fi adventure. The author does an amazing job of making the story seem so realistic that you could imagine it actually happening. This is the first book I have read by this author and I really enjoyed it. I love how the author mixed a scifi story with current events happening in the world. It makes the story more realistic and relatable.

Plant earth is slowly  being destroyed with terrorists, disease and global warming. Things on Earth are going from bad to worse.
So when a group of 6 aliens land on the shore of Jamaica how are the people of Earth going to react. Are we going to embrace the new arrivals or is fear going to get the best of us and we end up destroying them as well. The aliens now have to learn to live in a world that is strange to them all the while protecting themselves from being hunted by the people that they had come to learn from and help.

This books is really good as it is so relevant and uses things that are happening currently such as pandemics and global warming. It also plays on people’s theories and fears  and makes us ask the question how would we react if we knew for certain we weren’t the only living beings. That other living beings lived on other planets.

Raven Woman's TavernRaven Woman’s Tavern by Laura Koerber
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This was a really interesting story. It will keep you gripped from beginning to end and is full of twists and turns. I like how at the beginning of the story we get introduced to each individual character and find out how they work and fit into this town.

Warrentown  is a small place with very few residents left. The ones that are left are getting old and are struggling to live each day and survive in their town. The town is watched over by Rachel the owner of Raven’s Tavern.
However Racheal isn’t what she appears to be and when a group of people from the local militia come into the town the residents start to panic. Some of them aren’t exactly doing things that are legal and some of them aren’t even human residents.

You are taken on a story through a dying town and the struggles of it residents. You also learn about community and connection when they are faced with an enemy which threatens their way of life.
This book is a good supernatural story which touches on elements of our life today.

This is the 2nd book in the DAG series. It is  a story filled with danger and suspense but also a romance element which works well and keeps the reader hooked.

Romancing the Tropics (A Tropical Cocktail Romance Boxset) by L.M. Mountford – Review by Kerry Carr

Romancing the TropicsRomancing the Tropics by L.M. Mountford
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book contains 2 stories and  both if them are steamy romances. The author does an amazing job at bringing the chemistry and passion between the couples alive through these pages.

The first book is about a young woman who had her heart broken by her ex. Trying to rediscover who she is, she acts on her attraction to her best friends dad. She has been attracted to him for years and now she wants to see if the reality matches her dreams. The chemistry and attraction between them is very hot and the passion makes for a very steamy encounter.

The second story is about a couple who had a night together at prom. The next day Sarah left. Years later after an abusive relationship Alex decides he’s going to find his first love. This story is different from the first story because both Sarah and Alex even though their feelings for each other are the same both are scared they will be rejected by the other. So their passion  is slower to build but just as special and magical when it happens.

Potager Plot (A Backyard Farming Series, #5)Potager Plot by Vikki Walton
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the 5th book in A Backyard Farming Mystery Series and the first book I have read. Even though I was able to still read and enjoy the book as a standalone I feel if I had read the others it would have given me a better understanding of the characters in this story.

Anne is now taking on the job of helping people plot and design their gardens. She meets with a gardening club to share her ideas.
The club president Billie is very poorly with cancer and when she dies no one thinks anything is wrong. However Anne isn’t so sure that Billie’s death was natural. With secrets, lies and deceit in the small town could Billie’s death actually be a murder and if so who could have done it?

This is a really light hearted cosy mystery which is enjoyable to read but has enough twists and turns to keep you guessing and hooked till the end. The main question is will Anne be able to untangle all these webs and finally discover the truth?

Notebook Mysteries ~ Decisions and PossibilitiesNotebook Mysteries ~ Decisions and Possibilities by Kimberly Mullins
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the second book in the series. These can be read on their own however I think if I had read the first one it would have made the character and their back story easier to understand. This didn’t take anything away from the book and I still really enjoyed it.
Our heroine Emma is now 18 years old and has grown into a strong independent woman. She is very determined and will stop at nothing to solve her case. Even when her safety is in danger Emma still pushes on until her case is closed.

Now Emma is older she also has to deal with matters of the heart and romance which all adds up to make the story interesting and makes the read wanting to read more.
I am looking forward to reading more about Emma and her family and friends and also the next adventure and Mysteries she will solve.

This is a beautiful and emotional story. As a parent it really tugs at my heart to imagine the pain that Betty goes through and also the pain and confusion Marlena goes through.

THE MARCY SERIES BOXSET: BOOKS 1-3 by Linda J. Burson – Review by Kerry Carr

The Marcy Series Box Set: Books 1-3The Marcy Series Box Set: Books 1-3 by Linda Burson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

These was a great boxset. I really enjoyed all these books and how they are a progression following our main character Marcy.

Book one is Rage. This was a whirlwind story following Marcy as she deals with the uncontrollable rage she suffers with the world. Why does she feel this way? What has turned her into this angry person?  With her rage overtaking her life and her risking losing her friends and her boyfriend she knows she needs to get help. Through her rage she comes to the attention of Liam. Liam sees something in Marcy and believes she is what he needs for his mission to get revenge on his families killers. This connection between them takes them on a journey neither expect.

Book 2 is Confusion. This is the perfect title for this book as Marcy is in a constant state of confusion over who she should be with. So she had relationships with both Brad and Liam. Both men love her in different ways but how long will they be willing to share her. And when that time comes can she choose between them.
Add to this the secrets and revelations that keep showing up about Marcy’s past. She knows if she shares her past she can start to heal. But she is unsure whether or not to do that.
Brad and Liam both have their own problems and confusion as well with keeps this story gripping and keeps the reader turning pages.

Book 3 is Agony and Ecstay. This book follows on from book 2 pretty much straight away which means the story flows seamlessly.
We are back with Marcy. Still torn between Bard and Liam, she is now engaged to Liam. However she can’t deny her feelings for Brad. When will the crunch time come for her to make a decision once and for all about who she will be with. I can’t really say much without giving the story away. What I will say is that the truth behind Marcys nightmares comes to light, revenge is finally met and secrets are revealed which could blow Liam and Marcy’s relationshop apart and send her running back to Brad.

This book set has been an enjoyable journey from the start and I can’t wait to read the rest of the books in the series to fully complete the journey.

TAINTED by Marsha R. West – Review by Kerry Carr

TAINTEDTAINTED by Marsha R. West
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I really enjoyed this story. The author does an amazing job of keeping the reader gripped by making the story engaging and eventful. The main character Liz and her daughter have gone through a lot but the author makes their bond and how close they are shine throughout the story.

After Liz ex husband Gerry is arrested for money laundering it turns Liz’s life upside down. Now being tarred with the same brush as him she can’t go anywhere without people stopping and staring. So she decides to get away for a while and with her daughter then head to Red River.
This is where Liz’s story really starts when she finds out her old boyfriend is the Marshall of the town.
The old flame reignites  between them but with Liz’s past bringing danger to the quiet town can they survive it.
The romance in this story gets steamy to a point then stops which keeps you wanting more. I would love to see how Liz and Matt story progresses.

Dangerous Curves Boxed Set #1 (Dangerous Curves Books 1-3) by K.L. Montgomery – Review by Kerry Carr

Dangerous Curves Boxed Set 1: 3 Cozy Christian MysteriesDangerous Curves Boxed Set 1: 3 Cozy Christian Mysteries by K.L. Montgomery
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I really enjoyed these cosy Mysteries. They are easy to read and out librarian turned investigator Sunshine really brings them stories to live with her sweet but inquisitive nature once she has the bit between her teeth she doesn’t let go until the mystery is solved.
There are 3 books in this  boxset and each one is unique. All of the books can be read as a standalone however if you read them in order you get a better sense of the characters. Mainly our leading lady Sunshine.

All 3 mysteries  are cosy mysteries  which mean they are easy to read and don’t contain anything in them that could be offensive to readers. So if you like mysteries then they are ideal. These books are full of twists and turns and secrets that will be revealed.

Through the series we see Sunshine grown and become more confident in her ability as an investigator and its nice to see her confidence grow as she figures out and solves each case. I’m looking forward to reading more from this series.

Caine (Men of Syn Book 2) by Anise Storm – Review by Kerry Carr

Caine (Men of Syn, #2)Caine by Anise Storm
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the 2nd  book in the Men of Syn series. I really love these  books. I love the dark gripping side along with the romance which catches you by surprise. The characters are really well written and your opinion of them changes as the book progresses.

Caine is running away from his life in D.C. After his father is found murdered and he becomes prime suspect. He runs to his mate Hawke who gives him somewhere to work and lay low while he tries to solve the murder of his father.
While he’s there he meets Emery. Emery is a princess who lives off her daddy. She thinks she’s above people and her attitude stinks. Emery thinks she has her life sorted until her dad is arrested for drug trafficking charges and all his assets frozen. Now Emery is homeless and broke and the person she turns to is Caine.
What starts out as a way to distract herself and give her a bed for the night becomes so much more as the couple get to know one another and their relationship grows.

However things aren’t that straight forward and when Caine realises the connection between his fathers murder and Emery’s father’s incarceration they need to work together to solve the cases.

This story is gripping and a real page turner. You want the couple to be together and happy however sometimes the skeletons that are coming out could be to much for the couple to bear.

Dire’s Club by Kimberly Packard – Review by Kerry Carr

Dire's ClubDire’s Club by Kimberly Packard
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Well where to start with this book. This book has had me in tears of sadness and tears of joy. It is a moving story about a group of people who are brought together because they are dying and are living their one final wish. The characters range from old to young and they each have a story to tell.
One of the characters Charlotte isn’t dying at least not from a illness like the rest of them. Charlotte has an illness that is not talked about much and often goes unseen behind smiles and great acting. After losing the love of her life Charlotte has suffered with depression  and has found no way to get herself out of its grips.

This story is really eye opening in the sense that although it is a story about people who are dying it is also a story about life and how you should live everyday like your last so when your time comes you have no regrets.

Every person including the man running the show Jimmy Dire, all have secrets that get reveled throughout this story. Its definately a book you won’t be able to put down as you take these journeys with each character.

HER DARK LOVE (DARK SPELL SERIES Book 4) by ISRA SRAVENHEART – Review by Kerry Carr

Her Dark Love (Dark Spell #4)Her Dark Love by Isra Sravenheart
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the 4th book in the Dark Spells series. I have enjoyed all these books but this one is really special.

This book is proof that people aren’t always what they seem and that some life event makes them the way they are.

This book goes back to when Isra goes to Wingdom’s Academy to learn all about her gifts as a witch. This is a side of Isra we haven’t seen before when she is sweet, innocent and good. Isra is only has good in her heart and even though she’s not very social she makes friends with Everilda.

However the friendship turns nasty when Irsa finds herself involved in a love triangle with Everilda and Johnathan. Everilda  knows about Isra’s feelings for Johnathan but she still pursues him.
Feeling hurt and betrayed by the 2 people she cares for and trusts this is the turning point where Isra goes from good to dark.

Meanwhile Isra is being watched as she is part of a prophecy. Does Isra need to remain good or is that the main reason for her turning to the dark side.

This book is full of adventure and betrayal. It also answers a lot of questions about what made Isra the way she is
