The story Master’s Rise: Book One (Phoenix Series) by L. Ann Marie is a book that I enjoyed reading. It pulled me in from the beginning and didn’t let me go until the final page. I just couldn’t put it down. I loved reading about the characters of Cort and Seren. Cort is a man that had been lied to. He now finds himself dealing with what has happened in the past and also with the present. He also finds himself with a deep attraction to Seren. Seren is an intelligent, strong, independent, and beautiful woman. She is often underestimated and those who try to mess with her learn how strong she really is. She also has an attraction to Cort. They have chemistry. What does the future hold for Cort and Seren? The past haunts Cort. Will he be able to bring the Brotherhood back together? Read this book to find out. Seren and Cort are characters that I found myself rooting for. This book does have some romantic moments that make the temperature in the room rise. There are many additional characters that are introduced that I enjoyed reading about. This is the first book in a series, and I believe that the author has done an amazing job with both the storyline and the characters. I can’t wait for the next book.

The story Renegade (The Mercenaries Series Book 1) by Raven White is a wonderful book to read. I loved the storyline and the characters. It is a book that has both suspense and romance.

Renegade is a man that takes his job seriously and has a comradery with those he works with. He also finds himself very attracted to Eliza. He, however, knows that she is off-limits. Eliza also feels the attraction to Renegade. Will they act on their attraction for each other? Will the one that attacked Eliza be caught? What does the future hold for Eliza and Renegade? Read this book to find out. This is a story that has romantic moments that make the temperature in the room rise. The story also had me wondering what was going to happen next and if the attacker was going to be caught. I also enjoyed reading about Sparrow. He is protective of Eliza and will do anything to keep her safe. This is the first book in a series, and I can’t wait to read the next story.

5 out of 5 stars

The story The Traveler: Chimera Rebellion (The Book of Eleanor Book 1) by Shannon Nemechek is a time travel/romance book. It is a story that had me hooked from the beginning and I didn’t want to put it down. I loved reading about the characters of Katie Butler and Colm O’Donnell. Katie is a strong, independent woman who finds herself transported back in time. Colm is attracted to Katie and is determined to find out the truth about her. What does the future hold for Katie and Colm? Read this book to find out. The author gives wonderful attention to detail and I felt like I was right there with the characters. I grew to care about Katie and Colm with every chapter that I read. Katie finds herself at a time in history where the country that she finds herself in is at war with itself. I have not read a lot of time travel/romance books however this one has me wanting to read more of them. Don’t miss out on a wonderful story and find out if Katie and Colm have a future together. I recommend reading this book.

The story Singles and Other Singularities (The woman Scientist Trilogy 2- The Italian Saga Book 8) by Gaia B Amman is a book that is amazing and one that I loved reading.

She is a scientist who is driven to succeed in her work. What does the future hold for Leda? Read this book to find out. This story has emotional moments and my emotions went up and down with Leda’s. She is a character that I want to find happiness. There are other graduate students that Leda interacts with. Some are helpful and good friends with Leda. Then there other characters who are selfish and only look out for themselves. There are moments that are sad and others that are heartwarming. Don’t miss out on the continuing story of Leda.

The story Somebody in the Neighborhood by Judy Moore is a thrilling/mystery book. It is a story that pulled me in and had me on the edge of my seat wondering what was going to happen next. The author creates an atmosphere of suspense that will stay with you the entire story. I enjoyed both the storyline and reading about the character of Dawn Anderson. She is a young woman who has come to live at Manatee Beach after her aunt is murdered. She is looking to be out on her own. Dawn is an intelligent and kind person. She soon begins to socialize with those who live in the neighborhood. Who could have murdered her aunt? Is that person part of the neighborhood? Is Dawn also in danger? Read this book to find out. This is the second book that I have read by the author and I have found her to have the gift of crafting an amazing story. She kept me guessing until the end. Besides Dawn, there are several other characters that are introduced. Some of them are very kind and welcoming to Dawn and others I found myself wondering about. Don’t miss out on a mystery that you will not want to put down until the final page. I highly recommend reading it.

By T.K. Toppin
5 out of 5 stars

The story Jax Marlin – To Catch A Marlin is an amazing book to read. The story has action, danger, and a game of cat and mouse that is being played between the two main characters. I loved reading about Jax Marlin. She is called a vigilante; however, she sees herself as someone who finds and stops criminals her own way. She is intelligent, independent, strong, and beautiful. Special Agent Michael Pedroni is the one that has vowed to bring Jax in. As a Special Agent, he believes that her methods can be dangerous for those who are around when she strikes. However, Michael is questioning the difference in her justice and his. Will Michael be successful in apprehending Jax? What does the future hold for Jax and Michael? Read this book to find out. This is a story that does get emotional at times and I really felt for both Michael and Jax. I grew to care about both of them each chapter that I read. The story does have some steamy moments and moments that I was on the edge of my seat wondering what was going to happen next. Some of the additional characters only care about themselves and their plans. Will they succeed? Don’t miss out on a story that is an adventure that doesn’t stop until the last page. I highly recommend reading it.

Spicetopia Boxed Set (Books 1-4)
By Phoebe Alexander
5 out of 5 stars

The Boxed Set of Spicetopia has 4 stories that I fell in love with. The stories include steamy scenes, wonderful storylines, and amazing characters. I enjoyed that the characters from the previous story were found in the next book. The author does a wonderful job of making them come alive and I grew to care about them with each chapter that I read. Their interactions and relationships pulled me in, and each story had me hooked from the beginning. It all starts with how Cy Sweet and Jolie Cox meet. Then there is Moon and Katja, Neve Romano and Enya Moore, and Micah Greene. These are four stories that pull you in and doesn’t let you go until the end of each one. I am hoping that there is a fifth book in the series. Don’t miss out on the romance, steam, and characters in this boxed set. I highly recommend reading them.
