Cursed Sight (Broderick Coven Series Book 2) by AJ Renee – Review by Lianne Probert

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

Cursed Sight is the second book in the Broderick Coven series by A.J Renee.

Before reading this I hadn’t read the first book in the series. I would recommend reading it first, just so you can enjoy it even more. Despite jumping straight into book two I was able to piece things together easily.
Cursed Sight is the story of Ethan and Serena. Ethan is an oracle who is looking for guidance to help develop his power. Serena is the High Priestess of her coven and is looking for an oracle to join her coven.

Despite having not read the first book (although I have since gone back and read that too) I was hooked really quickly by the characters and the storyline. I read this in an afternoon, it is action-packed, fast-paced, and I didn’t want to put it down. It was one of those stories where I needed to know what happened next. The characters are great, I was totally invested. I can’t wait to read the next book in the series now.

The Buccaneers of St. Frederick IslandThe Buccaneers of St. Frederick Island by Linda Maria Frank
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The Buccaneers of St. Frederick Island by Linda Maria Frank is a great story for young readers.

Set on St. Fredericks Island, a group of kids raise money to buy toys for children. But, when the money is stolen the group form a club called the Buccaneers and set to work solving their first mystery.

This story has everything you need. There’s plenty of action and adventure, and it was much funnier than I had expected making it even more enjoyable. There are strong friendships, characters, and when you throw in a secret club and a mystery to be solved, there is so much to like about this book. Perfect to stir up imaginations!

Love at First Haunt (Haunted Ever After Book 1) by Carrie Pulkinen – Review by Lianne Probert

Love at First Haunt: A Ghostly Paranormal RomanceLove at First Haunt: A Ghostly Paranormal Romance by Carrie Pulkinen
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Love At First Haunt: A Ghostly Paranormal Romance is the first book in the Haunted Ever After Series by Carrie Pulkinen.

This is not my first book by this author, I am already a huge fan of the New Orleans Nocturnes series, so I was very happy to see a new book.
Book one really starts off with a bang when our main character Allison encounters a ghost at a party. Allison may be a medium, but she does her best to stay away from ghosts.
Logan has just bought a new house, he soon realises he’s not alone and that the ghost he is sharing the house with is not going anywhere.
One of the things that I enjoyed most about this book is that it is a very modern-day twist on a paranormal romance. The characters are very relatable, their imperfections make them much more believable. I also love that the other characters play important roles and that we get to know them well too.

I can’t wait to read the next book in the series. I would recommend this book to anyone looking for something a bit different from the usual romance.

Athalie (Sacrificial Chronicles Book 1)Athalie by Jordan Elizabeth
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Athalie is book one in the Sacrificial Chronicles series by Jordan Elizabeth. This is my first time reading anything by this author, and she didn’t disappoint.
Athalie is a young adult, coming of age tale and is jam-packed full of action, drama, and emotion right from the start.

The book description drew me in and I was hooked immediately. It is not my usual genre of books, but I love the descriptive elements and I could clearly imagine what the author wanted me to see. The characters are full of life and personality, and Athalie in particular is strong and brave.
I found the story a little difficult to follow in places and found myself having to backtrack to try and keep up. I think I may need to reread it now that I have a better understanding of things.

I would definitely recommend this to fans of young-adult fantasy stories.

The Longest Run: a Ski Patrol Rescue Romance (Lawson Family #4) by Tracey Cramer-Kelly – Review by Lianne Probert

The Longest RunThe Longest Run by Tracey Cramer-Kelly
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The Longest Run: a Ski Patrol Rescue Romance is the fourth book in the Lawson Family series by Tracey Cramer-Kelly.

This story had me hooked from the get go! Set in Montana in a beautiful sounding ski resort, Carly works as a part of the ski patrol team. Carrying a secret, she is happy to rely on short-term romances, and then along comes Chris.
Chris has his own past to deal with, but he’s got his sights set high and he’s ready to train hard. Romance is not on his agenda

I loved this story, it was jam-packed full of emotion and draws you in from the first page. The twist and turns along the way keep you hooked right until the end. The characters were fantastic, and I love it when an author takes the time to ensure you really get to know them, for me it makes a story so much better.

Don’t Worry, I Still Hate You by Marie Skye – Review by Lianne Probert

/0 Comments/in /by

Happily Ever AfterHappily Ever After by Piper Rayne
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This review is for Marie Skye’s Don’t Worry, I Still Hate You.

Perrie is looking for a roommate, she just wants someone who is clean and won’t touch her stuff. Surely that’s not too much to ask? After placing an ad she is brought face to face with someone she’s met before, the guy she met in Vegas and forgot to tell her a few pieces of crucial information….like he’s married!

Don’t Worry, I Still Hate You is a fun read with great characters. I loved the chemistry between Perrie and Ash, they definitely deserved this second chance at romance. I’d recommend this to anyone looking for a nice, quick, gobble-up-in-an-afternoon type of read.

Jordan's Justice: A New Adult Sport Romance (Tessa and Jordan Book 2)Jordan’s Justice: A New Adult Sport Romance by T. Christensen
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Jordan’s Justice: A New Adult Sport Romance is the second book in the Tessa and Jordan series by T. Christensen.

For me, this is not a stand-alone novel that can be read by itself. You really need to start at book one to appreciate the storyline and the characters. The backstory makes this book so much more, and this is a continuation of book one.
Jordan’s Justice took me on an emotional rollercoaster. It had me in tears more than once. I loved the character of Tessa. She is a single mother, and is strong, and has her child’s best interest at heart throughout. Jordan needs to win me back over again. Even though I sympathised with him, and felt for what he had been through, he reacted very badly and made Tessa’s difficult life even more difficult at times.
I thoroughly enjoyed this book though, and highly recommend this series.

The Nearness of YouThe Nearness of You by K.G. Fletcher
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The Nearness of You: A British celebrity standalone, love-at-first-sight romance is a feel-good romance by K.G Fletcher.

David falls for Lauren Rose the minute he sees her and hears her beautiful singing voice.
Lauren Rose is a teacher by day and a lounge singer by night, a million miles away from David’s supermodel lifestyle.
This is my first time reading anything by this author, and I absolutely loved it. The characters sparkled, they were so endearing and the chemistry between them brought this story to life. It had all of my favourite things, and just enough drama to keep me turning the pages.
I would definitely recommend this story.

Moonlit Whisper: An Irish Romance (Moonlit Destination Series) by Amy McKinley – Review by Lianne Probert

Moonlit Whisper (An Irish Romance)Moonlit Whisper by Amy McKinley
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Moonlit Whisper: An Irish Romance, is part of the Moonlit Destination series by Amy Mckinley.

Moonlight Whisper is a novella that can be devoured in an afternoon, which is handy as once i started reading i didn’t want to put it down.
The main characters, Fiona and Connor, were childhood sweethearts and best friends who were forced to split up when Connor followed his dream to play football. Fiona was crushed but eventually chose to move on. Of course Connor returns, but he finds Fiona with a new life and a new man.

This story is a feel-good romance that will have you hooked. This isn’t my first book by Amy Mckinley and in my experience she does not disappoint, and she certainly doesn’t here. The chemistry between Fiona and Connor is there from the start and you just know that they are meant to be together. As is the way with all good stories, these things never run smoothly, and these are the type of characters that you are rooting for throughout the whole book.

A KISS UNDER A BLUE CHRISTMAS MOON (Daydreams & Dragonflies Rock 'N Sweet Romance Book 4)A KISS UNDER A BLUE CHRISTMAS MOON by Tamara Ferguson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

A Kiss Under a Blue Christmas Moon is the fourth book in the Daydreams and Dragonflies Rock ‘N’ Sweet Romance series by Tamara Ferguson.
This book can be read as a standalone story, but I would definitely recommend starting at book one, just because this is a series that I have enjoyed so much and I feel that knowing the back story and knowing more about the background of where the book is set has really added to this enjoyment.
In this story, we meet Mia and Noah. Their talent and love of music bring the pair together at the famous music camp in Crystal Rock. They soon become more than just friends, but a disapproving father and family duties to honour mean that their love story is not a smooth one.

As with the other books in this series I was hooked by the sweet characters and storyline. I feel like I know Crystal Rock pretty well now which makes this series so much more enjoyable. The author brings this location to life with familiar faces and new sweet characters, I’m looking forward to revisiting soon.

Santa Got Run Over by a Vampire is part of Carrie Pulkinens New Orleans Nocturnes series.
It’s a novella and is a jam packed short read, perfect for this time of year.
I loved catching up with some familiar faces, especially for some Christmas fun. I’m already a fan of this series and particularly enjoy the humour that runs through all of the books, this story in particular is full of funny moments that will have you laughing out loud.
This was just the pick-me-up I needed at the minute, and the Christmas theme just made it even better!

Love Heels! The TV news business can be murderLove Heels! The TV news business can be murder by Lynne Russell
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Love Heels is the third book in the PJ Santini series by Lynne Russell. Unfortunately I haven’t read the other books in the series yet and I definitely think I would have enjoyed it more if I had, it took me a little while to get into the story.

PJ Santini is both a news reporter on TV and a private investigator, and this series follows her as she searches for the truth and reports it. The author manages to make the story serious and funny, I couldn’t wait to find out what happened next.
I really loved the characters, the main character is fab, but her friends and family really make the story come to life. I just need to go back and read the rest now!

Unwrapped by Evelyn Sola is a nice, fun, Christmas read if you’re looking to escape for an afternoon.
Miranda escorts her mother to her works Christmas party and ends up catching the eye of her boss. There are a couple of issues here, the main one being that her mother cannot stand her boss. There is also an age difference to work through too. The obstacles they overcome just make this couple stronger.
This book has everything you need. It’s funny, romantic and has great lead characters. It was a lighthearted read and a great way to spend a Sunday afternoon.

Cuckoo Clock - New York (Unbroken Bonds Book 3)Cuckoo Clock – New York by Elisabeth Marrion
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Cuckoo Clock – New York is the third book in Elisabeth Marrion’s Unbroken Bonds Series. I have not read the other books in this series and would say this can be read as a stand-alone story.

Cuckoo Clock – New York is a fascinating story. Set in World War Two, it gives an insight to people’s lives throughout the war. We know of many heroic stories from the war, but there are so many tales yet to be told.
This story focuses on Esther, a doctor, who in 1938 must quickly leave Germany. On her journey she meets a group of children from an orphanage, we follow her and people she meets along the way as they help get the children safely through war-torn Europe.
This story is full of emotion, it captures the fear and bravery that everyday people showed each other during this horrific time. The book is fast-paced, I moved surprisingly quickly through it. The wonderful characters make you fall in love with this story, I was thoroughly invested almost right from the start. I will definitely go back and read the other books in the series.

Dreaming of ChristmasDreaming of Christmas by Joanne Dannon
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Dreaming of Christmas is a collection of five festive novellas. I’m not always a massive fan of short stories, I like to have a bit more time to get to know the characters, but in this case I really enjoyed it! Each story was filled with wonderful characters and was a heartwarming tale. It’s the perfect type of book to dip in and out of. It’s especially good if you find you haven’t got a whole lot of time at the minute, it’s easy to read and doesn’t take long at all to get invested in the stories and the characters.
I’m a huge fan of Christmas themed romances, they really help get you into the spirit of things. If that’s the type of book you are looking for, I would definitely recommend this.

Grumbler's Ride (Satan's Devils MC San Diego #2)Grumbler’s Ride by Manda Mellett
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Grumblers Ride is book 2 in the Satan’s Devils MC San Diego series, by Manda Mellet.

The story starts with Grumbler….who certainly earns his name at first. He’s an older member of the club and you get the impression he’s seen almost everything. His bike is his pride and joy, so when he agrees to it ‘modelling’ in a photo, he gets annoyed very quickly when his fee isn’t paid.
Mary is having the same problem, except it’s her daughter who’s waiting for her modelling fee. She didn’t want her seventeen year old daughter involved in this anyway, but there’s no going back now, and she deserves to be paid rather than conned.
Grumbler and his MC brothers soon come up with a plan, and when grumbler spends more time with Mary and Alicia, we begin to see the softer side to him….there’s more to him than his name lets on.
I loved the relationship between Grumbler and Mary, she softens his grumpiness and he brings her out of her shell and shows her there’s more to life that she’s been missing out on. I would recommend this story, and can’t wait to read more books in the series now.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

High Heels and Mistletoe is a festive, romantic read by C.A. King.

Julietta has a somewhat strange problem. Due to a family curse, she spends Christmas avoiding any form of holiday cheer…mistletoe in particular.
Luke is an all-out Christmas fanatic, his lifestyle appears a little shallow at first, but he certainly knows how to celebrate Christmas as he loves everything about it. So, when their paths collide it was never going to be smooth sailing, but they can both learn a lot from each other.
This was a great Christmas themed book, perfect for this time of year to start getting me into the spirit of the season. I wasn’t sure about the characters at first, but I soon couldn’t stop reading and was completely invested in the story.

The First Noel: A Tale of Friendship is a children’s book by Clare Johnson, inspired by the nativity.
The story begins with a friendship between two girls from different upbringing and social classes, the friendship struggles as the differences between their ways of life affect the way they see each other.
The book description explains that the poetic story is based on a ballet, and from the words and lovely illustrations I can see how it made a beautiful production.
I’m think this would be a lovely read for children and their families, and there are many lessons woven into the words.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The Devil’s Day is book three in the Lucky Devil series by Megan Mackie. I would definitely recommend reading the other two books in the series before starting this one, if you don’t you will miss out on the back story that I think is vital to the enjoyment and understanding of the story.

As with the other books in this series, this book is action packed right from the start. It continues with the Rune and St Benedict and their adventures. The author has her own distinctive writing style that shines through in all the books in this series and it really makes them stand out. The characters are well developed
…especially now we are in book three, so I was totally hooked and invested in their lives from the start. The pace is pretty fast, there’s lots going on. If you like books jam packed full of action and story telling then I would recommend this book for you.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

A Merry Texan Christmas is book 3 in the Prentice Brothers series by Nicole Flockton. I am yet to read the other books in this series (although I will definitely put them on my ‘to read’ list now), but this book can be enjoyed as a standalone read.
Maggie Watson is a librarian in a little town in Texas, the type of place where everyone knows your business and your neighbours are your friends. I always love books that have that small town feel, full of characters not just people.
Trey Prentice is a former baseball star who is now back in his hometown and running the local bookstore. He bonds with Maggie over their enjoyment of Christmas lights and decorations, and when the mayor calls upon ‘Mr and Mrs Christmas’ to join forces they soon become more than friends.
This is a lovely Christmas read, and the perfect way to spend your afternoon if you’re looking for a feel good read. The characters are a joy to read, and really bring the story to life.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

A Beach Wedding To Die For is book two in the Cosy Mysteries To Die For series by Judy Moore. Despite being the second book in the series, this book is more than suitable to be read as a stand-alone.
This series follows Beck, her sister Lizzie and their grandmother Miss Alice. Together they run and own a bookshop/coffee shop and live above the shop. After sharpening her detective skills in the first book Beck gets further opportunities to solve a mystery! She also keeps running into handsome, actual detective, Devon…who doesn’t always appreciate her helpful meddling.
I love the family feel that this series has, it really helps to enhance the cosiness of the cosy mystery. This story has a surprising amount of twists and turns and was more unpredictable than I first anticipated, which made it even more enjoyable.
A nice easy read that I would definitely recommend.

The Magic of Christmas by Christi Barth is a festive feel good romance, perfect to get you into the Christmas spirit.
Rowan is focussed on her career, when a promotion comes up she’s willing to work hard and fight tooth and nail to prove she’s the right person for the job. But as is usually the way, these things never run smoothly.
This is a classic Christmas Hallmark style romance, just what we all need in the run up to Christmas. The author moves the story along at a fairly quick pace, but it’s very easy to keep up with. I loved the characters and both of the main characters really developed throughout the story so I found myself becoming more invested in their lives and wanting them to find their happy ending!

The History of the Universe: As My Soul and I RememberThe History of the Universe: As My Soul and I Remember by Stuart Ledwith
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The History of the Universe: As My Soul and I Remember by Stuart Ledwith is a truly intriguing read.
I quite often choose not to read books based on or around religion, I prefer my readings and learnings to come from the Bible. However, the description really drew my attention and I was not disappointed. Reading from another persons point of view really challenges you to see things differently and helps you to understand things from another person’s perspective.
The author’s writing style makes this book easy to read, yet full of thoughts and lessons that he has learned. If you enjoy reading books based around religion but quite often find them a challenge to read then I would encourage you to give this book a chance.
Whatever your beliefs this book will stay with you long after you have finished reading.

Shattered SnowShattered Snow by Rachel Huffmire
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Shattered Snow by Rachel Huffmire is an interesting read and would be perfect for teenagers. It’s hard to write a book that is suitable for both teenage boys and girls, but I would say this book is suitable for all.

Shattered Snow is a retelling is a fairytale classic. The story hasn’t just been reimagined, it’s been turned on its head and retold in a way that is both exciting and unpredictable.
Set in the future, we get a glimpse of how life could look in 2069. I’m not sure the world will be prepared for time travelling, especially as we already know…changing the past can have devastating repercussions on the future.
Kelston, aka ‘The Mirror’, runs an underground operation. His goal is to use time travel to help rescue people throughout history. He is joined on his mission by Lilia, a mechanic from Russia, and together they set out to change the course of history.
I loved this story. It was action packed from the start and had me hooked. I would have loved to have got to know the characters a little better, but this story is definitely with reading no matter what age you are.

Kismet Heart: A Protector Romance (A Surviving Love Novel Book 1)Kismet Heart: A Protector Romance by Brinda Berry
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Kismet Heart: A Protector Romance by Brinda Berry is the first book in the Surviving Love series. It was my first time reading a book written by this author, but I will definitely look out for more, particularly in this series, in the future.

The book follows Malerie. This eighteen year old girl has been through much more than most people would go through in a lifetime. After surviving the bombing that left her as an orphan Malerie lives a somewhat reclusive life, shying away from others in favour of the safety of her home.
When her guardian is killed in front of her during a birthday meal Malerie knows her life has changed again. One of her uncle’s last tasks was to arrange a security companion for Malerie, in the hope of helping her live her life more fully.

Ace was hired to protect Malerie, and the spark between them is pretty much instantaneous. Whilst running from whoever has their sights set on Malerie the two form a strong bond and it’s much more than friendship.
This story is fast paced and action packed. I love the bond between Malerie and Ace. The author does a wonderful job at filling the reader in on the back story and the need-to-know information, my only complaint is that I don’t feel as though I got to know the characters very well, I know all the facts about them…but there’s so much more to learn.

Spicetopia Boxed Set (Books #1-4)Spicetopia Boxed Set by Phoebe Alexander
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The Spicetopia box set contains books one to four in the Spicetopia series by Phoebe Alexander.

An adult only theme park? Yes please! I loved the Spicetopia box set. It’s a fun and very sexy read, and let’s you escape reality for a bit of much needed entertainment.
Each book in the series follows a different couple in the Spicetopia world, so can be read as a stand-alone book. However, I would highly recommend starting at book one with Cy and Jolie. These guys are in each book, and after you’ve read book one you’ll look forward to seeing them throughout the series. Cy is seriously hot, and probably my favourite character, so I was very happy to continue to follow this couple throughout.
The author’s writing style really makes these books stand out for me. She writes wonderful (very sexy) characters and brings them to life. The books are funny, emotional and seriously hot! The detail throughout really helps stir your imagination and see what the author wants you to see.The unique Spicetopia idea is the icing on the cake.
I would definitely recommend this series to anyone wanting to escape reality for a bit.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

She’s No Cowgirl is the fifth book in the My Cowboy series by Brooke May.
I haven’t read the rest of the books in the series and would say this can definitely be read as a stand alone book.

I really enjoyed this book, it’s an entertaining, light-hearted read. It has a wonderful storyline that was a different take on the usual sporting romance themes.
The thing that made this story stand out for me was the characters. The female lead is strong, passionate, and isn’t afraid to chase her dreams. The chemistry between Kennedy and Hunter really kept me hooked. It wasn’t always smooth sailing for these guys, there’s plenty of challenges and drama that they faced throughout, but I was really rooting for them.
I’m looking forward to reading the previous books in the series now.

Her Billionaire Daddy (Western Daddy Doms Book 1)Her Billionaire Daddy by Allison West
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Martin is trying to run a successful business, but rumours of his lifestyle are putting people off doing business with him. What he needs is a stable lifestyle, a family, and a wife. When he runs into his sister’s old friend Samantha at a bookshop he is pleasantly surprised at the attraction between them. Now he just needs to convince Samantha to strike a deal with him and be his temporary wife.
Martin has many surprises to share with Samantha, the main one being that she must call him Daddy. Samantha soon realises there’s much more to Martin than she first thought.
I like the relationship between Martin and Samantha and how the varying parts of their relationship develop and grow. What starts as a fake marriage for the sake of appearances soon deepens into much more.
For me the story was lacking some romance. I enjoyed the characters but it all moved very quick. Overall though I still enjoyed the story and would recommend it as a quick and sexy read.

Everyday Enchantments: Musings on Ordinary Magic & Daily ConjuringsEveryday Enchantments: Musings on Ordinary Magic & Daily Conjurings by Maria DeBlassie
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Everyday Enchantments by Maria DeBlassie is such a different type of book for me. I was intrigued and drawn in by the description and I don’t regret trying out a different style writing and a genre that is new to me.
Everyday Enchantments is an active encouragement to find the magic in everyday life, it can be found everywhere and in everything, you just need a different perspective. The magic doesn’t come from conjuring up spells and potions, but from changing your mindset and actions. And, from believing.
I love the way this book made me feel. It was very easy to read and afterwards I felt like I could add a touch of magic to my own life.
I would recommend this book to anyone looking for some positivity and something a bit different to read.

THE PATIENCE OF KARMA (A Madeline Dawkins Mystery #5) by Cynthia Hamilton – Review by Lianne Probert

/0 Comments/in /by

The Patience of KarmaThe Patience of Karma by Cynthia Hamilton
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The Patience of Karma is the fifth book in the Madeline Dawkins series by Cynthia Hamilton. This story can be read without having to read the rest of the series, but I would recommend starting at book one. The story and the characters have developed so much throughout that you will be missing out if you don’t.

Book five starts back with Madeline and Mike, now a few months into their marriage. As usual they both have their separate cases to work on, but come together to help each other work through plots, stories and to work things out. The cases are not without their challenges, and although they are almost like reading two different stories the author manages to bring them together as one.
Madeline and Mike are tested in many ways in this story, and their relationship continues to grow.
I’ve been a huge fan of this series from the start, and this book doesn’t disappoint. I have loved seeing the development in the characters of Madeline and Mike, both separately and as a couple. They bring out the best in each other in so many ways.
The author, as always, has done her research and this shines through in the story. I would recommend this series to get stuck in to.
