You truly get the feel the bridesmaid and groomsmen are meant to be with this book! It had all the makings of a steamy story with that perfect lovable happily ever after attached.

Snowfall Serenade (Soul Connection, #3)Snowfall Serenade by Nikki Lynn Barrett
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The severity of the damage causes Zelda to lose the baby and end up also having a hysterectomy ending her chances for ever having another child.

From the ghosts that being to appear for Scott and their young daughter to the mental and emotional factors things become a fighting battle, and question arise can they make it to the other side together. This will be a story you don’t put down until the finish.
Snowfall Serenade was a beautifully written story that was original and heart felt. The moment I began Scott and Zelda’s story I was emotionally invested. It was very easy to connect to them on a personal level and feel as if they were a friend of your own. The story was emotionally gripping, and at times I could not hold back the tears watching them fall apart.

Sleeping Angel (Soul Connection, #2)Sleeping Angel by Nikki Lynn Barrett
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Logan and Angel are intertwined by 1 devastating death, and 1 tragic accident. When Logan’s sister is killed Angel is able to identify the accused. However his anger and grief have taken an immense toll and in Logan’s eyes her lack of intervention and then her length of silence before coming forth makes her just as guilty and puts her as a direct target for his hatred. As she is celebrating her birthday a year later she has an encounter with an angry, drunken Logan and its what causes her tragic accident, and also what becomes the start of her spiritual journey as someone else. As the story unfolds it becomes a journey of life altering experiences that show everything truly happens for a reason.
This is my first read by Ms. Barrett, and it took me by surprise. This paranormal tale was quite original and quite thought provoking. The author takes you on an emotional roller coaster with her unique cast of characters as they try to overcome guilt, grief, addiction, and forgiveness. You will become entangled within their lives in both life and death, and its a very good reminder of the importance of taking those extra moments to slow down.

Red’s Peril Part 1: The making of an MC Prez (Satan’s Devils MC Vegas Chapter) by Manda Mellett- Review by Lauren West

Red's Peril Part 1: The Making of an MC Prez (Satan's Devils MC Vegas #1)Red’s Peril Part 1: The Making of an MC Prez by Manda Mellett
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I have become a big fan of Manda Mellett and the MC worlds she continues to create. I have become invested in every story of hers I have had the pleasure of reading, and I must say that Red’s tale is by far my favorite. Every MC member has their own unique story, and of course their own unique characteristics that add to each story.
Red’s book was unexpected and intense. You get a very intimate glimpse of the gorgeous redheaded man behind the façade we have become accustomed to. His story is deep and your heart hurts for him soo much. Love, loss, and devastation are the constant swirl that fed a lot of Red’s emotions.
When he joined the Satan’s Devils MC that is when Red truly found himself and his place, but still missing that one true love that got away. This is a story is told only the way Manda Mellett can tell it, and its one that should not be missed. The end of book 1 shook me to my core, and book 2 cannot get here soon enough!

Rock Me To The Top (Gracefall: Vicious Love Tour Book One)Rock Me To The Top by Victoria Zak
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I love Rockstar romance and I love friends to lovers! Together they are the making for an amazing storyline. Victoria Zak definitely captured all of that in this book. This is my first read by her and it was one that I definitely enjoyed. Watching Joe and Mel break down those barriers and come to the realization that they can be so much more made for an awesome story.
Joe had been in love with Melody for the longest time and their friendship was everything. He had a life he loved doing what he loved but he needed the women he loved by his side. Melody being the daughter of a Rockstar saw all the good and bad first hand and was not keen on the lifestyle and the toxicity it could bring. Together they both needed to take the plunge together to get their HEA, and their story is full of obstacles for them both to get there.

Silent Gavel (Crawford Mystery #1)Silent Gavel by Merissa Racine
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Merissa Racine did an amazing job with this book!! Every chapter I read I was trying to fit pieces together to solve this small town mystery. I did not want to put this book down once I started, and I did not want to be wrong about who I believed to be the murderer after I finished it. Lol
This story was very vivid and easily imagined, and the way she told the story it felt like you could be there.
It starts of with Lauren returning home to face her past and see if she can find her way successfully in this new chapter of her life. Good friends, her own home, and decent job show her promising start. Then one day she goes to pick up the judge she works with and walks right into a murder scene. She is questioned multiple times believed to be the prime suspect, and when information comes in casting a shadow on her ex-husband as well things get even stranger. As the story unfolds there is much more to this mystery and the small town than meets the eye. I promise you wont put this book down until the end!

Tenacious (Billionaire Bodyguards # 6)Tenacious by Via Mari
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Via Mari has officially made late night reading hot again! This Billionaire Bodyguard series sits you front row center with a sexy Alpha that will make your late nights very sultry and steamy. I hate to say I’m starting a series backwards, but I do look forward to reading the other books.
Via Mari went no holds barred with this book! She gave her readers all the danger, dangerous men, suspense, intrigue, lust, action, and passion that could be thrown together.
We meet Allie and Nick who’s chemistry steams up the pages. Allie is an RN and she just goes through the motions daily trying to keep her heart numb and closed. Upon meeting Nick soo many emotions flair, but more than anything she’s scared. Nick is pure Alpha and the moment he met Allie he knew she was it, and he would prove it as a lover and protector. You wont be able to help the smile you get as you watch the love flow off the pages along with the danger and drama!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Ivy Nelson officially has me hooked! This book had everything you need to get your fix on dominant, alpha type men! I could not put this book down once I began. Russell and Gemma definitely heated up the pages, but also gave us a few tender moments.
While the book does have some very intense BDSM there is also a fair amount of danger and suspense. We also get to explore the loving side of Russel when it comes to Gemma. This was my second book by Ivy Nelson but I can say I will definitely be exploring the entire series.

Cursed Luck (Broderick Coven, #5)Cursed Luck by A.J. Renee
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Book #5 of the Broderick series gives us Edward’s story. He is very much a handsome loner, and he is mated to the beautiful free spirit known as Mia. There is much to learn about Edward and Mia who did not expect mates or when they found their mate to go thru so much opposition with them. They have the attraction but continue to fight the pull until they can no longer do so. I adored them both and I started to fall in love with Edward as well lol.
Edward and Mia were a very unlikely couple. Both had a lot to understand about the mate bond and the depth of the emotions/feelings the bond would bring. They agree to take things slowly, but its unclear if they will ever accept each other as mates.

Cursed Whispers (Broderick Coven, #3)Cursed Whispers by A.J. Renee
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is book #3 in the Broderick Coven series and I adored it! This book took me all over the place emotionally. There were many parts I could not stop smiling, and then there were others that I wanted to break down and cry. Max and Claudia’s story was beautiful and bittersweet at the same time.
Max was a witch and Claudia was a werewolf. To be mates was being outside of the same species was a rarity, but a gift all in itself. Claudia was on the run with her daughter from her abusive captor. She was bruised and broken mentally and physically and felt she could never be a mate to anyone. The damage was intensive and she did not believe she would ever successfully move forward until she was brought into the Alumbra Wolf pack. There she found a true family and Max. Max was patient, kind, and was willing to wait an eternity for Claudia if he had to. It was a great story and truly emphasized that when you find your mate nothing and no one will stop fate, and no matter what they have endured that love and time can help heal wounds.

Cursed Sight (Broderick Coven, #2)Cursed Sight by A.J. Renee
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This story was amazing from start to finish. A great paranormal tale by AJ Renee that is both original and imaginative. It had the perfect amount of romance and suspense all enclosed with many twists and turns you did not expect in this paranormal tale.
Ethan and Serena are both witches. Serena is a High Priestess and Ethan an Oracle. While Ethan’s powers are new and something he surely needs help to navigate it is one of the reasons that they come together. Serena is very powerful, the head of her coven, and the perfect person to help Ethan expand his powers. When Ethan begins to have dreams/visions of Serena in danger that is when the story truly begins, and you want to stop to miss a thing. While it was easy to warm to Ethan it took awhile for me to feel the same for Serena, but once I did I loved the idea of them and the chemistry they shared. This is witches and magic at its finest, and was all in all a great story.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Christi Barth knows good romance! This is my first read by her, and I thoroughly enjoyed it.
Amelia and Teague have a very sweet love story. From good friends to lovers their story evolved perfectly. Teague was her brothers best friend, and someone she has crushed on for years. Even when he was away in the military she was his light in the dark. Teague himself had a good heart, and feelings for Amelia for quite a time as well.
Both are very afraid to take the leap to be together, and as their story unfolds you can’t help but root for them. Its a sweet love story, and makes a good late night read!

I adore a good paranormal romance! Toya Richardson has crafted a great story with many twists involved. Its my first read by her, and will not be the last

Engaño (DeWitt Agency Adventures, #2)Engaño by Lance Charnes
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This has been one of the most exciting books I have read in a long time. The plot twists and turns of this book are layered with action, suspense, and intrigue. Carson in turn is like no character I have experienced before. She is sexy, worldly, trained and skilled with weapons and hand-to-hand, and extremely clever. An ex-cop she is taking care of her fathers debt to the mafia and everything escalates from there. Her attempt to bring back the Russian cabinet ministers daughter Viktoriya takes an unexpected turn and leads her chasing the girl thru the Underworld. Getting a glimpse of Carson in action makes this novel quite a page turner that is hard to put down.

The Last Danann: Titanian Chronicles 2The Last Danann: Titanian Chronicles 2 by Victoria Saccenti
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

We end this epic trilogy by Victoria Saccenti with Kailen and Talaith. Enraptured with book 3 from start to finish I loved every moment and was very appreciative of how the stories were all woven together. This book provided so much emotion and dramatic suspense as the characters overcome many perils to be together.
Kailen is a tormented man who believes he is destined to never love again after his tragic loss of his first mate. The tragedy leaves his heart hardened and closed off until he encounters Talaith. The connection is instant, and Kailen does everything he can to fight the feeling.
Talaith has an enthralling attraction to Kailen, but is dismayed by the push and pull between them. As they unite to defeat the daemon horde it brings them closer together and Kailen must determine if he can overcome his fear to have love once more. This story was beautifully written, and these 2 are by far my favorite characters.

Titanian's Phoenix (Titanian Chronicles, #1)Titanian’s Phoenix by Victoria Saccenti
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Victoria Saccenti has quickly become a household favorite for me! She has constructed this uniquely intricate fantasy existence that is scintillating and vivid to the imagination. The characters are well developed and connected with each providing their own individuality to the story itself.
As we meet the main character Maya she can be seen as strong, independent and loyal woman. Her life is her own, and she built her existence upon answering to no one. When she and her godmother Anna are abducted one night her life as she knows it changes dramatically. She learns that magic is real, she herself is apart of the supernatural world she always believed to be nonexistent, and that the fates have given her a very sexy Titanian mate named Soren.
When Soren meets Maya in a run down bar he is staking out he knows who she is, and he vows to cherish and protect her at all costs. As they explore their newfound fate together the steamy chemistry is undeniable, but Maya must first find a way to awaken her Phoenix as well as accept Soren as her mate. With members of the supernatural and human world being murdered, and Maya herself in danger because of who she is there is much that both Maya and Soren must overcome. This story is full of suspense, mystery, romance, and dramatic twists and turns that will make this book difficult to put down.

Noémie’s Journey AUDIO BOOK by Victoria Saccenti- Review by Lauren West

/0 Comments/in , /by

This story will truly pull at your heartstrings and play to your every emotion. This story truly shows that love discriminates against no one and when its meant to be its meant to be. Richard and Noemie fight through many parallels to be together, and the strength from their love and each other is what moves them forward in the extreme racist south of the 1960s.
Noemi is a beautiful girl who is sweet and full spirited. Living with a drunken/abusive father she struggles to protect her younger brother and strives to provide them with a better life. Upon meeting Richard its instant chemistry that is physical, but deeply emotional as well. As we experience their journey to a HEA it becomes a tale that truly sticks with you. The narration of this story was completely amazing and at times it gave me goosebumps.

Weep, Woman, WeepWeep, Woman, Weep by Maria DeBlassie
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Going into this book I was not sure what to truly expect. It was somewhat an emotional tale, but also one that portrayed hope and beauty in the life we are given. This story was original and heartfelt and you could feel the emotions written word by word on each page. Marie DeBlassie did an amazing job with the way this story was told!
The story is told by Mercy who is a young girl living in a small town in NM. As she tells her story its clearly not a fairy tale, but her everyday life as she has lived it. She is raised in a town where dark skin is frowned upon, Spanish is a forbidden language, and La Llorona (the weeping woman) has a hold on the towns generations of women and once she takes you there is no way back. She is raised by a single mother who she feels secretly fights her depression/unhappiness for Mercy’s sake, and her only friend and best friend is a girl named Sherry (or Sherry baby as she calls her). Her story strongly represents the power of facing your fears, overcoming your doubts, and living your life how you choose.

This story made my Monday night well worth the late hours I stayed up to read. Seelie Kay brings us the 2nd story in the series, and this one was even better than the first. We continue book 2 in the series with the charming Donovan Trait in addition to newly turned lovely bride Shirley (yup the judge!). This time around we get more in depth with our characters and learn more about their love. Per stipulations from the Vampire Coalition to be married/together Shirley must be turned and any offspring or potential births prior to conception are to be determined and monitored by the vampire scientists.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Seelie Kay knows how to tell a story! This story is original, funny, and unpredictable. Its my first time exploring one of her books, and I picked a great one to start!
We are introduced to Donovan Trait who is a Vampire, lawyer, and Alpha to the extreme. An expert and legend both in and out of the courtroom which may due to his 300 years of existence. Donovan himself could charm the blood straight from your body. When lawyers start to become targets for a murder Donovan is
high on that list, but what happens when you can’t kill a vampire? While he can handle his own he still has fears for his lady love who is a Judge, human, and as big a target as himself. He and his team work around the clock for answers as time continues to run out. A very interesting game of cat and mouse and by no means your typical Vampire book.

Dating the It GuyDating the It Guy by Krysten Lindsay Hager
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Hager paints the teenage years in a very vivid and relatable light. Hormones’, insecurities, the daily stress of trying to fit in, peer pressure, etc. A story that reflected the struggle of growing up, and learning to be comfortable in your own skin. Teenage angst at its finest.
Emme and Brendon were characters who you could easily connect to and understand. Emme was a girl who had family issues, a lack of confidence, and a lot of insecurities. When she begins dating Brendon who is one of the most popular boys in school and the Senators son she begins to fall under quickly with the self doubt and stresses of being compared to girls before her. Brendon who is a down to earth and sweet just wants to live his life normally. He encourages Emme to be herself and be comfortable, but he also fails to understand some of where her feelings come from.
The relationship navigates jealousy, insecurity, lack of communication, misunderstandings, and poor judgement calls. This story shows young love and new love all rolled into one. It is a good read with some good lessons for young adults today.

This book was amazing! I loved book 1, but book 2 really pulled me in!! The character development and the storyline advanced further in book 2, and it really captured my attention with the imagination and detail. You truly feel as one with each character, and can easily imagine yourself there. As we reunite with the characters from book 1 we become privy to their dedication for their beliefs and their different worlds. As the story progresses we are able to see more about each character and more in-depth views of the multiverse, and how everything connects. James Talisman is very talented and he is one of the reasons I am venturing out to read more Sci-Fi books.

This book was a lot of fun to read! Its my first by this author, and I look forward to reading book 2. Young adult supernatural books have become a lot more popular over the years and books like this are the reason why. The characters and the storylines are so very well developed and original and it takes your imagination on quite the run. Lucy came from a broken home in a sense and was very independent, and after her mother dies is moved to a loving home with her uncles. Her lifestyle and her life changes dramatically. Plus she finds out she was never so normal to begin with learning she is half -demon and half-witch. As the story progresses we watch her life go thru multiple changes, and love triangle included. This book had many twists and turns, and was difficult to put down for a even a second.
