The Third Nanny (Secrets of Redemption) by Michele PW (Pariza Wacek) – Review by Lianne Probert

The Third NannyThe Third Nanny by Michele Pariza Wacek
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The Third Nanny by Michele Pariza Wacek is described in the description as a ‘Twisted Psychological Thriller, and I would say that this description is spot on!

After receiving a letter from her sister who disappeared years before, Janey sets out to discover what actually happened to her. Whilst retracing her sister’s footsteps and taking a job as a nanny in the place she last knew her sister was working, Janey discovers new clues and unearths secret after secret. As expected, all is not as it seems.

For a psychological thriller, I found this book really easy to read. The story moves at a fast pace but is easy to keep up with, and there are lots of twists and turns along the way to keep you hooked. I spent the whole book thinking I knew how it would end…well, I may have changed my mind a few times! I was completely wrong though. If you like suspense and surprises, you will love this book.

The Girl and the Raven (The Girl and the Raven series) by Pauline Gruber – Review by Lianne Probert

The Girl and The RavenThe Girl and The Raven by Pauline Gruber
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The Girl And The Raven is the first book in a YA series by Pauline Gruber.

Lucy’s life changes dramatically after the sudden death of her mother. After a life filled with drama, Lucy craves calmness, but that is certainly not what she gets. Moving in with her two uncles brings new discoveries along with new complications.

I really enjoyed this story. It took me a little while to get stuck in, but once I did I couldn’t put it down. The characters in the book are complex and far from ordinary, which I loved. Lucy in particular is a strong character, and with everything going on she needs to be. I also very much enjoyed the love triangle, it would have been good to hear the story from their point of view too.
The twists and turns in this will keep you hooked until the end.

Grave Digger Academy (Grave Digger Academy Series Book 1) by C.A. King – Review by Lianne Probert

Grave Digger AcademyGrave Digger Academy by C.A. King
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Grave Digger Academy is the first book in a three-part series by C.A. King.

As the title suggests, the Grave Digger Academy isn’t your average school, and, even in the paranormal world, it isn’t a place you want to end up attending. Unfortunately for Mikayla, when she doesn’t get into her first choice of school, this is exactly where she ends up. As Mikayla is introduced to this new, undesirable, side of her world, she also faces other challenges that make her question everything she thought she knew.

I think the author does a great job at this new twist on a paranormal world, and even though the story was fast-paced and full of action, I felt like I knew the characters well.
This book is aimed at the Young Adult audience, but I certainly enjoyed it. This was a great introduction to the series and I’ll definitely get book two now.

Avenging Devil Part 1: Satan's Devils MC San DiegoAvenging Devil Part 1: Satan’s Devils MC San Diego by Manda Mellett
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Avenging Devil Part 1: Satan’s Devils MC San Diego is the third book in the Satan’s Devils MC San Diego series by Manda Mellett.

I am already a fan of this series and couldn’t wait for a new addition to it, these books just keep getting better! I love them. This story mainly follows Niran and Saffie who meet by chance at the hospital. When Saffie needs a strong arm and a shoulder to cry on, Niran offers his strength and friendship. When he realises that his feelings towards Saffie are more than that of friends, he has his work cut out for him as Saffie struggles with his loyalty to the MC world.

As always with this author’s work, the story tackles some difficult, but very real, storylines. There are bucket loads of angst and emotion, it certainly isn’t an easy journey for the pair.
You get to catch up with a few familiar faces too, which I really enjoy. I can’t wait to read book two in this series.

Motherland: A Tom Grant NovelMotherland: A Tom Grant Novel by Samantha Adair
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Motherland: A Tom Grant Novel is the third book in this series by Samantha Adair.
I would recommend that this book needs to be read after the first two books in the series. There is already so much that has happened, and lots of back story to the characters, that you will be missing out (and possibly a bit confused) if you start at book 3.

As with the other books, I still absolutely love Tom! The far-from-perfect former agent is funny, sexy, smart, and rough around the edges. I think his character, along with that of Isabella, gets better and better throughout the series.
Motherland is another fast-paced read. Honestly, it will have you on the edge of your seat wondering where the author will take you next.
There’s plenty of drama and passion, and it was over far too soon. I can’t wait to read book four.

The Arsonist's Handbook: A Gripping Psychological ThrillerThe Arsonist’s Handbook: A Gripping Psychological Thriller by L.A. Detwiler
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The Arsonist’s Handbook is a psychological thriller by L.A. Detwiler.

I was a little unsure before reading this book, as it’s not usually a genre I pick out, but I’m so glad I did as once I started reading I couldn’t put it down.
This was my first time reading anything by this author, but it won’t be my last. I loved the style of writing that brought this story to life. I thought the journal style of writing was well suited here.
As with a lot of psychological thrillers, this book will keep you guessing throughout….nothing is straightforward and it can mess with your head a little. There is a lot of tragedy and dark times in the story, which can be hard to read at times and certainly makes it a somewhat “heavy” read, but I’m not sure what else a story of this nature could ever be.
This is the type of book you will be thinking about long after finishing it.

Turning Wheels (Satan's Devils MC, #1)Turning Wheels by Manda Mellett
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Turning Wheels is the first book in the Satan’s Devils MC series by Manda Mellett.

I’m already a fan of this author so I was really looking forward to starting a new series.
This book did not disappoint! The story had me hooked from the start, Sophie’s story is an emotional one and the author isn’t afraid to tackle difficult issues, although it is done with care, you can feel Sophie’s pain. There are a lot of raw emotions to process, and a few surprises along the way.
There is so much love and life throughout this story that the pages just kept turning and I read it in a day. The characters are already well developed and I’m looking forward to getting to know a few more of their stories.
A fantastic start to a new series!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Moonlit Kiss: A Venice Romance is part of the Moonlit Destination Series by Amy McKinley.

I am already a huge fan of this author, but I think this is my favourite book so far. I was hooked right from the start by the beautiful descriptions of Venice, I was transported to Italy and dreamed of listening to orchestras.
The storyline will keep you drawn in right to the end. I loved the wonderful characters, and there was tonnes of chemistry.

I would definitely recommend this book and author, especially if you are yet to read anything by Amy.

Forbidden WolfForbidden Wolf by C.R. Robertson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Forbidden Wolf is the first book in The Shadow Chronicles series by CR Robertson.

This story is a paranormal romance, and I was thoroughly invested right from the start. The main characters, Tasha and Levi, are from very different worlds. They should only be acquainted as enemies, but they soon realise they have so much more. With so many obstacles to overcome, their relationship should be doomed from the start, but they are strong-willed and full of passion.
I really enjoyed this story. I thought the author did a great job on a new take on a paranormal romance, and the characters are so well written it really keeps you hooked until the end. I will definitely be reading book two!

The Eclipse DancerThe Eclipse Dancer by Laura Koerber
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The Eclipse Dancer by Laura Koerber is a story based on the gritty and harsh reality of Andy’s story so far, brought to life with elements of fantasy and fairytales.

Andy’s real-life story is full of grittiness and a heavy dose of reality. It’s a sharp contrast to the fantasy element, and for me personally, it took a lot of getting used to. I became accustomed to the fantasy style of writing, but I didn’t always find it particularly enjoyable. I did enjoy the descriptive elements, of which there are many, particularly throughout the fantasy style of writing.
If you are looking for something a bit different to read, The Eclipse Dancer is a book I would recommend, its style might not be suited to all but it was refreshing to read a story that was different and challenged my usual reading style.

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

Cursed Whispers is the third book in the Broderick Coven series by A. J. Renee.
If you are yet to read the previous books in this series it is not essential before reading this one.

Max lives, breathes, and works with animals. He doesn’t just heal them, but he can actually talk to them…think Dr. Dolittle, but with more paranormal and magical vibes.
Claudia is a werewolf and is on the run from her past. She is rescued by Max when he finds her hurt and in distress. She needs more than just medical help, she needs to face her past and save her daughter.

I loved this story. I sometimes find it difficult to get hooked from the start with werewolf-type stories, but this one was great. It is action-packed, the characters are full of energy and passion and there is tonnes of chemistry. I am very much looking forward to the next installment.

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

Sleeping Angel is the second book in the Soul Connection series by Nikki Lynn Barrett.

This book is jam-packed full of so many emotions I kept having to stop to digest everything.
Logan is still struggling to cope after the murder of his sister. He blames everyone including himself. He wants answers and justice. He is struggling to move forward with his own life.
Angel already carries so much guilt. She might not fully understand all that she has seen just yet, but right now she just wants her life to feel normal.
Like the first book in this series, this story has a paranormal twist. Both of these characters need answers, but how far will they go to find them?

I found this book a little hard to keep up with at times, especially towards the beginning. Saying that though, I did really enjoy it. There are lots of twists, turns, and unanswered questions to keep you turning the pages right until the end.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Bovine Tricks is the first book in the Royals Gone Rogue series by Seelie Kay.

This was my first time reading anything by this author, but I would lookout for more books in the future. I loved the fun and enthusiasm that runs throughout the book. The pace was really quick and the story was finished sooner than I would have liked! The pages just kept on turning.
The storyline was a bit different and just when I thought I had things figured out a whole new twist would be introduced. The characters are fun, and the main character Mathilda is relatable in her struggles in both her career and her love life.
If you’re looking for a fast-paced and lively read I would recommend this book.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Betrayal At The Beach: A Cozy Christian Mystery is the first book in the Dangerous Curves series by K.L. Montgomery.

The main character is called Sunshine, and she definitely lives up to her name. She is in her forties, quirky, and very relatable. To be honest, I thought the whole cast of characters was amazing and helped to make this book so enjoyable.
Despite having no professional skills to do so, librarian Sunshine rallies the troops when she discovers that the library’s funds have been stolen along with a Bible that has a historical worth as well as a spiritual one.
The story is filled with twists and turns as Sunshine and her friends get closer to solving this mystery. I found this story very enjoyable and the author’s storytelling skills had me turning the pages late into the night.

Date NightDate Night by K.M. Lowe
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Date Night by K. M. Lowe is a great story, especially if, like me, you love a romantic story.

Getting dumped on Valentine’s day is brutal, no wonder Hannah is a tad cynical and not exactly looking forward to it coming around again. In fact, she’s pretty much given up on the whole love thing altogether.
Kyle is cynical about love too, he’s had bad experiences and is avoiding relationships. But when the two finally meet after working together remotely, sparks fly and the chemistry is hard to deny for both of them.

Date night is a sweet romance, I found it easy to read and the pages just kept on turning so it was over far too soon. I really enjoyed the author’s style of writing and will lookout for more books from them in the future.

On Viking Seas (Forerunner Series)On Viking Seas by Jay Veloso Batista
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

On Viking Seas is the third book in the Forerunner Series by Jay Veloso Batista.
I would definitely recommend starting this series from the beginning, it took me a few chapters to catch up with the story and I will definitely go back to book one to read all the bits I have missed.

As you would expect from the title, this story is packed full of adventure. There is a lot going on and the author really keeps the reader on their toes throughout by adding twists and turns along the way.
I particularly enjoy that the book is based on actual historical events, and the author really shows off their Viking knowledge which adds so much detail and passion. Great read, especially if you’re looking for something a bit different.

The SEAL's Temptation (Wounded Hearts #7)The SEAL’s Temptation by Jacquie Biggar
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The Seal’s Temptation is book seven in the Wounded Hearts series by Jacquie Biggar.

Although this book can be read as a standalone story (which is what I did), I would suggest reading the previous books in the series. There is a lot of overlapping of characters and storylines between the books, although I found I could keep up pretty well. I would have enjoyed it even more if I had read the others beforehand and knew more of the backstories.

This story takes you on a complete rollercoaster ride of emotions, keeping you on your toes throughout. I loved the romantic story between Maggie and Frank, although I kind of wish there had been more time spent with this couple during the story. They obviously have a connection, but they do seem to skirt around things a lot. There are lots of things going on with other characters too, which can make it a little difficult to keep track at times.
It was the emotions and storytelling that I enjoyed most and kept me quickly turning the pages until the end.

Peaceful Slumber (Soul Connection, #1)Peaceful Slumber by Nikki Lynn Barrett
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Peaceful Slumber is the first book in the Soul Connection series by Nikki Lynn Barrett.

This story took me well out of my comfort zone. After literally facing death, for a few minutes at least, Scott’s life changed forever. Everything he knew, or thought he knew, has been turned on its head. He not only has the ability to see and talk to ghosts, but he finds himself helping to solve the puzzle that will help set someone free.

This book is very well written, it is easy to read and the characters are fantastic. There are plenty of surprises to keep you guessing, and the twists and turns throughout the storyline will keep you turning pages. If, like me, ghost stories aren’t your usual pick I would definitely recommend giving this book a chance.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Scorching Hot Mess by Brooke May is a fun and enjoyable read that will most definitely put a smile on your face.

Willow gets herself into a bit of a dilemma when she can’t quite piece together the events of a drunken night out. Her main clues are the phone numbers she finds on a bunch of wrinkled-up napkins. On the search for ‘Mr Right’, she decides that calling them up could help on her hunt, but things don’t quite go as she hoped.
I was looking for a light-hearted read when I picked this book, but I got a lot more. The author makes the characters strong and relatable and the story funny. It was a quick read for me, mainly because I couldn’t put it down.
This was my first time reading anything by Brooke May, but I will definitely lookout for more in the future.

Two Hearts, One Stone (Boots and Babies)Two Hearts, One Stone by Leslie Scott
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Two Hearts, One Stone is part of the Boots and Babies series by Leslie Scott.

Stone Dempsey has a bit of a reputation as a ladies man. He works hard as a horse trainer and likes to play hard too. That all has to change when his niece is left on his doorstep and he is suddenly left holding the baby.
Emmy has her doubts when she hears about Stone’s predicament. She knows his reputation and doesn’t know if he’s up for this commitment.

I really enjoyed this book. It was a quick read but managed to pack a whole lot of action in. The chemistry between Stone and Emmy is there by the bucketload, and I loved that both of the main characters were strong, feisty, and full of passion. This story moves at a quick pace, and it’s a very easy read. This is my first book by this author, but I will definitely look out for more in the future.

Daisy's Darkness (Wheels & Hogs #6)Daisy’s Darkness by D.M. Earl
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Daisy’s Darkness is the sixth book in the Wheels and Hogs series by D. M. Earl. I am yet to read the other books in the series, but this can be enjoyed as a stand-alone novel.

This book is an emotional rollercoaster. My heart broke for Daisy, you will definitely need a box of tissues next to you when reading this. This story covers many topics that could be triggering for some people, so I would recommend thoroughly reading the book description before diving in.

The story is beautifully written. For most of it the book is written from Daisy’s perspective, but the author also gives you glimpses from other characters which I think helped to balance the story.
I’m looking forward to going back and reading the previous books in the series.

Loyalty & LiesLoyalty & Lies by Phoebe Alexander
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Loyalty and Lies is the sixth book in the Spicetopia series by Pheobe Alexander.

Despite being part of a series, this book does work well as a standalone, although to enhance your enjoyment of this even more I would recommend starting at the beginning. Not only is this a great series, but reading the previous stories will make this book even more enjoyable.

This book follows Paisley and Calvin (fans of this author will be pleased to see a crossover between series here). They are happily married, expecting a baby, and about to celebrate their third wedding anniversary. Where better to celebrate their big occasion than at Spicetopia? But cracks begin to surface when Paisley grows uncomfortable with how much Calvin enjoys it.

If you have read anything by this author before then this book will not disappoint. The characters are sweet, and of course, we have spice! I can’t wait to read more.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

City of Whispers: Imperial Assassin Book 1 is the first book in this series by Katt Powers.

I was drawn in by the book description, and being classed as a fantasy/adventure book meant I didn’t really know what to expect. This genre is new to me and I was looking forward to getting stuck into something different.
The story is fast-paced from the start and keeps up the same fast pace throughout. The characters are much more relatable than I had expected and I was soon caught up in this wonderfully different story. I kept picking it up as I needed to know what happened next. The writing is full of passion, magic, and mystery and keeps you wanting more.

I would definitely recommend giving this a read, especially if you are looking for something a little bit different

Professor Valentine: A Student-Teacher Contemporary Romance Novella is the first book in the Kirk University series by Diana Vale.

This is my first time reading anything by this author, and I very much enjoyed this novella. It was a quick read that I read in an evening. The characters are sweet and well throughout, and they keep you wanting more. The story follows Cassandra (Cassie) who is a psychology student in her first year at the fictional Kirk University. She doesn’t intend to fall for her professor but just can’t keep away. The book is filled with romance and chemistry, and a fun take on what student life can be like.
I enjoyed this first book in the series, and look forward to seeing where the author takes us next.

8 Second Ride8 Second Ride by Shannon Nemechek
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

8 Second ride is a short story by Shannon Nemechek. It is a love/hate story, or more accurately, a hate/love story. The main characters start off as enemies who can’t agree on anything, but as the sparks fly and the chemistry builds they become more than just friends.

I quite often avoid short stories as I usually find them rushed, especially towards the end. I was very happy that this was not the case in this story. The authors writing skills and storytelling ensured that the pace of the book moved quickly and that the reader was not left hanging at the end. My only complaint was that I still wanted more after the story had finished. I would recommend this book, especially if you are looking for a quick read and no cliffhangers.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Beckoned is the first book in the Born of Darkness series by R B Fields.

I love it when a new series pulls you in from the start, and that’s just what this book did. It’s been a while since I was drawn into a vampire story, despite enjoying them I find that they usually follow a similar storyline. This book, however, kept me on my toes. The characters are strong and full of personality. The story is engaging and fast-paced. I love it when you can get completely lost in a book and are so absorbed by the storyline that you just can’t put it down.

I quite often find that vampire stories are aimed more at the YA audience. This one, however, is definitely aimed at adults. I can’t wait to read the next book in the series.

A Tennis Pro To Die For (Cozy Mysteries to Die For, #3)A Tennis Pro To Die For by Judy Moore
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

A Tennis Pro To Die For is the third book in the Cozy Mysteries To Die For series by Judy Moore. This book can be read as a stand-alone story, but I recommend starting from book one because we already know the backstory of these characters.

As you can tell by the title, this story sees the plot take a turn away from the usual path, and down that of a sporty route. I loved this element, it was fun to see the author take this series down a different path. I didn’t realise until after I read the book that the author herself is a former tennis pro, but this is definitely reflected in the writing, her knowledge of the sport and the politics surrounding it shines through brilliantly.
As with the previous books in this series, the stories are action-packed and fast-paced, but the brilliant characters help to keep the reader on track.
If you haven’t started this series yet, I would definitely recommend it if you love cosy mysteries and whodunnit-style books. It keeps you guessing and on your toes right up until the last page.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Third Time’s a Ghost: A Ghostly Paranormal Romance is the third book in the Haunted Ever After series by Carrie Pulkinen.
I have read this series from the start and would highly recommend doing the same, that way you will have already met the characters and have a feel for the series, I think it makes the book even more enjoyable.

In this third instalment we follow the story of Gage and Erica. Gage is a paranormal investigator, he hunts out and investigates all that goes bump in the night. Erica is a medium in need of a bit of extra help. The pair start off as friends, but the chemistry soon takes over and they become much more.

I love the series and enjoyed this third instalment, although not quite as much as the first two books. I struggled with Erica a bit, she’s not quite what I pictured for Gage, and I’m still not 100% if I like her….but at the same time, I love that the author gives us a variety of characters. I hate it when you read a series of books and every character (especially the leads) are pretty much identical. So I may not love Erica, but I enjoyed getting frustrated at her and wanting to shout at her throughout the book. I always enjoy the fun and humour that the author brings to her stories.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Second Chance Spirit: A Ghostly Paranormal Romance is the second book in the Haunted Ever After Series by Carrie Pulkinen. If you haven’t read the first book in the series I would definitely recommend you start there, as this is where we first meet these characters.

Tina and Trent already have a history and a whole lot of chemistry! Tina ended their relationship when things started to get too serious, so she’s a little surprised when Trent requests her help in selling a house. But, as is the way with these things, things don’t run smoothly and they are soon caught up in more than just their feelings for each other.

I am already a fan of Carrie Pulkinen, she manages to make her stories engaging, action-packed, sexy, and a little spooky. This book is easy to read and has the fun and humour running through it that I have come to love from this author.

Where Flowers BloomWhere Flowers Bloom by Nikki Vale
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Where Flowers Bloom: A Romantic, Modern To Historical, Mystery, by Nikki Vale is an interesting yet surprising story. It’s ideal if you are looking for a different take on a romance.

Kendyll is a romance writer who is desperate to find her very own happy ending.
This is a story that is full of emotional and physical conflict. Kendyll is torn between her feelings and what she was brought up to believe is right.
I very much enjoyed this story, I felt a little lost at times as the story floats between the past and the present, it was sometimes a little confusing. However, the story kept me hooked with the wonderful writing and the well-thought-out characters. I was intrigued to see where the book would take me, and it was not what I expected.
