The is quite the story! Filled with action, suspense and intrigue. The characters have depth and continue to grow through the story. This author has a great imagination! I love this world she created and the phenomenal creatures. Its almost future world meets past. I just never really knew what is going to happen from page to page.
This is the third in the series. I highly recommend starting at the beginning. I look forward to more adventures from this crew and this author.

I was hesitant about this story. But I love vampire stories so I gave it a try. I was so glad I did! What is in here is a wonderful story with characters that make the reader care and worry about them. I am completely surprised how much I love this story! The writing is smooth and easy to follow along. I was pleased with the movement of the story.
The characters are down to earth and realistic…to an extent. I enjoyed learning about the life of Aranha and the hardship she has endured. When she collects her adopted son, I couldn’t have been happier for both of them. Dag was a surprise and I enjoyed him and his friends.
Overall this story surprised me and made me look forward to diving back into it after a long day. I wouldn’t hesitate to read another by this author.

What a wonderful story! I was fully pulled into the lives of these two main characters. I understood how angry he was and how thankful she became. I enjoyed her growth. Watching them come together is delightful.
This is a new author for me. The story flows well and the characters are very likable. It easily kept my interest.

It was a good story that needed more time. The story spent too much time on building the relationship between co-workers and not enough on the two main characters. Once they spent time together there were some cute moments. The animal story was very funny! I did enjoy the internal musings of Dr. D. He is more than the rumors make him out to be!
Then near the end time jumps forward (not sure how long) and it isn’t stated anywhere til further in the chapter. Maybe an epilogue with saying we are now somewhere else..anyway it would have helped me not be confused and flipping pages thinking I missed something.
All that being said, it is short, sweet and nice. There are humorous and heartbreaking moments. The characters were easy to follow along. I feel this story would benefit from expanding in the second half of the book.
I have read this author numerous times before and usually love her stories, characters and worlds.

King – Review by Lisa Helmick
This book is a real struggle for me. There is a lot of inconsistencies in the story from the timeline to the female character. The writing is gruff meaning there is no soft edge to it. Facts or situations are just tossed out for randomly. Then there is the multiple triggers in here.
This isn’t for the soft hearted at all. The one saving grace in here is Doc. He is a super great guy and puts his girl first. He does a lot for the story.
I do like the idea of this for an MC as its different.

This is a nice story but I didn’t love it. I struggled getting into the characters which makes it hard to care about them. The story seems to lose pace then pick back up. Many times there was pages/paragraphs of “should I or Shouldn’t I?” About a subject that has already been covered. It makes the story not flow very well.
The suspense is good and tricky. The characters are straight forward and quick to move forward. Theo seemed like a wonderful guy. Wanting whats best for Tia. Tia was a struggle. I liked that she is taking steps to making herself stronger.

This started off a bit slow, as the author builds the world and the characters, but as the story progressed it became one I couldn’t put down. I really enjoy reading stories where the whole world is made up and this one is filled with suspense, surprise and wonder. The author really built some great complicated characters as well and I loved never knowing who was trustworthy and who was untrustworthy. Each one is multi faceted and most have some wonderful growth. Did I have a favorite? Well I did lean a certain way but then I felt like Adrijana more than once doubting my judgement. That’s what makes this a great story..even the reader can’t figure it out.
Its hard to write this without giving anything away. If you love a great fantasy with outstanding characters and their sidekicks…. this story is for you and me!

What a great read! From the first page on the story moves along at a good pace and the writing is so smooth. I love that in a book! The story is filled with love, stressors, military women, distrust and a fireman. Really covers everything..oh plus there is girl besties! I enjoyed all the ups and downs and meeting all the characters. They made me laugh, wonder and have doubt a couple times. I really loved how Bryce was all googly-eyed at Gina and not deterred by her refusal. Then I could feel how happy he was when she finally agreed. I felt like fist bumping him!
Overall a wonderful story. I have not read the previous ones but the characters they produce really added to this one. I look forward to more.

What an amazingly fun story! I laughed and shook my head at the antics in this one. The story is fast paced and easily kept me turning pages. The characters were written very well. They had growth and changes throughout plus they made me laugh. Levi and Brynn are well matched. My only little issue is I wishes something would have been in here about how her mom and Brynn reacted now. It was kinda glossed over.
There is a lot of time spent getting to know the team. It made this filled with humor as they are just boys in mens bodies. I enjoyed getting to know Bridger and his family and can’t wait for his story because…well…Tia is a fireball! He is going to have his hands full with her!
Overall I really enjoyed this and I look forward to more in this series.

It’s a nice enjoyable story. It is easy to read and fast paced. The characters are good but my favorite is the female character. Watching how she tried to integrate with her fellow firefighters was interesting. A female working her way into a male dominated career. Always a good/bad time and her personality a plus. Male lead was good as well. I just didnt like him as much as the female.
I did struggle with the second portion of the story. This starts out with excitement then we travel back in time to the beginning of a relationship. After that gets figured out we go back to current-ish time. Problem is there was a lot of talking about characters we don’t know. So it easily lost my interest.
This is an okay read. A lot of this story focuses on the two main characters and we don’t get to like or dislike other characters. Maybe a look at some of these others would round out the story.

Another great installment in this series! The title says it all…it is chock full of secrets. I loved trying to figure them out while reading. This book is an easy, interesting read and I easily wanted to finish it in one day. I struggled putting it down because I was very interested in Elena. She has been a secretish character in most of the series. She is full of crazy skills, charm and smarts. She is my favorite character. Marco is the normal possessive mafia guy, who has his own secrets, and I did like him but Elena and her story took the lead.
I did love seeing all the girls and their husbands. It just enjoy how they are always there for each other.
Overall a great book and I thought this could be the end but nope. I’m telling you..this book is full of secrets. Anyway I love the characters and the storyline and can’t wait for more.

These books are outstanding! I love the twisty story which filled me with hope, shock and a What? WHAT?! responses. I enjoy how the author drags me into this world with the simply wonderful character and fast paced story. We really get a deep deep dive into Luca Rossi. How he became a boy being groomed to take over, how his secrets and loyalty helped and hindered him but mostly how his family and their love made him the man he is today. Aly is the opposite. She didn’t have the support or love of her given name. She had to learn a lot just to survive in this world. Both of these characters had a lot of growth throughout the story.
I read this fairly quickly and I am eagerly looking forward to more in this series.

This is an action filled story that easily kept my interest and the pages turning. My only issue with the story is I felt like I was dropped in the middle. Then we are given information after the fact. Some of that us fine as it adds to the suspense and mystery. I enjoyed the characters. A few of them are really realistic in their description of issue they had and I could almost see and feel the ickiness of them. That was very well done by the author. To make the reader feel that about those couple characters.
Overall this is a good quick read. I enjoyed the action and suspense plus I enjoy jungle themed stories because anything can happen. I could easily see reading more stories from this author.

This is the second story in the series. I have mixed feelings about this one. We follow Tatiana in her castle life and her personal one. Many times while reading I got the impression that much time had passed by then later in the book its only been six months since all that happened in book 1. Then her reign is always subject to scrutiny and she has family and personal struggles..not counting the major baddie. Just so tiring. I cant imagine being her. So much always going on.
Tatiana is becoming stronger and learning more about her abilities. She faces many issues that most adult people would struggle with. We do get a few more characters that add a bit to the story.
I was surprised and pleased with the story more than once. The world building is very well done too.

This is quite the ride! The story seems tedious at times with all the details. But it really draws the reader in. The characters are plentiful but I do have some favorites. I love Tatiana’s fiery spirit. She is young but really coming into her own as the story unfolds. She is a risk taker which can be good or bad. I am hoping she will continue to grow and become wiser.
While I enjoyed this story it did seem overlong. I enjoyed learning about Tatiana’s friendships but I can really see the youth in her at times. I look forward to the next.

I really love this story! My heartstrings were tugged on more than once in this reading. Which made me really enjoy this and as I became entranced by the characters. The story is pretty interesting but these characters are the stars. The characters have spirit, drive and talent. I have really enjoyed certain ones while others I could do without. But they all add to the story. The author did a great job making me feel for these characters. I was filled with happiness, devastation and fear right along with them.
I finished this very quickly. Once started it was hard to out down. I am eagerly looking forward to the next one.

This is a delightful story. We have previously met Katrina and I really didn’t care for her. But that attitude she has…worked its benefits and she is actively trying to reign in her magic and get herself released from Satan. I really enjoyed her thought process. She is matter of fact and doesn’t understand emotions at all. Her learning and growing made me change my mind and I ended up liking her character.
We do get to see a bit of previous characters..which us always fun. They really band together in here for Katrina even though they are not fans of hers which shows how great they are.
This is the sixth book in the series but can easily be read as a stand alone. I really enjoy this series/book. They have humor, personal growth, fun times and super characters.

Very Impressed with this book! The last two were ok but this one the author knocked it out of the park! I love all the action and drama in the story. This one grabbed me from page one and I was hooked til the end.
In here Trentino is the Master but Angel is the star! Her character really grows as she is pulled from her old life and thrust into her new one. I really enjoyed all her time with the “girls” and how confident she becomes.
We get to see a lot of the other two Masters we have met in previous books. I like how they all hang out and help each other to further their kind. I love their fondness and protectiveness of their mates.
Overall I throughly enjoyed this story! Its the third in the series and to get full enjoyment and understanding I would suggest reading them in order. I eagerly look forward to the next!

This is a wonderfully done crime drama. The story is one that grabs the reader. It is full of courtroom drama and there is plenty of “who dunnit” in there as well. Grace is a perfect character. She has a checkered past but is trying to get her life back in order. She is very smart and has a mix of sarcasm and sass, which makes her fun to watch and listen too.
Grace has some great helpers in life and along her journey. Vinnie is the best guy and helper of Grace. Jake add some comic relief…then there is Manny..I was expecting(wishing) more from him for Grace but its not meant to be.
Overall this is a top notch crime story. Grace is entertaining which makes the story move along quickly. Hopefully there are more of Grace’s stories coming from this author.

Unlikely to stay is a perfect title for this book. Brant is the town nurse/doctor. His patients love him but they give him a hard time as well. Those oldies are going to be the death of him. Anyway Brant is a nice guy with a difficult past. I love the idea that he wears suspenders. Just not the idea of why he wears them. He’s been in town for two and a half years and has yet to talk it CC. She bolts or shoots daggers at him every time they cross paths. Thankfully her friends intervened if only he could get CC to go along with the plan. CC thinks Brant too high in social status for her. So she gives him no encouragement. She decided to add to her hair cutting salon and put a gym in next door for the residents. Her friends give her some help but not the kind she really wants.
The elderly in this town are crazy! I think there is something in the water. They all act like teenagers or at least twenty somethings. Kelda leads with pack with live in boyfriend, Burt. Marty and his issues! Ha! These characters are all a hoot!

This book was great! I just had to open my paranormal mind a bit more than usual for these reads. This one took a different turn that threw me for a loop and I had to shake my head and re read. It’s near the end and it wasn’t necessary for the story but added a different element.
Of course it was amazing to see Levi again! I really have loved him since the beginning and he really only gets better as he ages. Tasha frustrated me at times. She knows the danger but yet ridiculously endangers herself over and over. She always promises not to and does anyway. I really think she has nice traits otherwise.
The secondary characters are coming out of the shadows. I really enjoy the attitude/humor that Donovan has been showing. Radar and Spenser have done really well and add some humor. There are newer characters as well that add spark and spunk to the story.
Overall this is the last one for these two. I am sad and will miss them. I will always wonder what happened with Tristan, Kimber and the parents and did Radar ever find anyone. This is a highly entertaining story and I loved the series.

This is a cute little story. The story rolled along nicely and I liked the idea of it. I did struggle to connect to the characters. I almost felt they were a bit two dimensional and needed just a bit more to bring them to life.
While this is the fifth in the series it can easily be read as a stand alone. Its a classic story of a grumpus on Christmas who meets the holly jolly. How they meet, get along and who does the changing. I really liked Gio but felt that Amber is wishy washy and she overcame her issue too easily

Whoa! What a story! Really.. I was blown away! What I love about this is the look behind the rock star. Sure there are band moments but this really is about Jared and his life. I enjoyed how little moments became larger moments and really I just loved Jared and his devotion to Mr C.
The feelings displayed by the characters and also *felt* by the reader are immense. Many times I want to Hoot and Holler for Jared and other times I wanted to put my hand on his shoulder in commiseration. I really felt his joy even if they were happy tears. Cookie is a delight. Feisty, sassy and stands up for herself. I loved her interaction with Mr C. She is someone everyone would love to have on their staff.
I love and enjoy seeing all the guys in the band. They are truly brothers first and band members second. It shows over and over in this story. I love the joking and noodling. Even when Kade laid into one of the other characters…I was like..Yup don’t mess with him!
These stories are so much more that just rock star romance. There is depth behind each of them that makes the reader go through a hoard or emotions. I laughed, cried, felt empathy and was surprised while reading. I easily end up loving all the characters and could see myself rereading this one. I eagerly look forward to Lennox’ story.

I loved reading the poems. They really are spot on and made me think. The next portion of the book is filled with activities foe the reader to do. It was fun and I did learn a few things. The last portion is a QA. I can see why a few of the questions asked..because people are curious or nosy. The first one just flummoxed me. I think its because people with vision only think of colors…so seeing blank is unfathomable to someone not vision impaired.
This is a great book that is quick but very informative. The author does a good job getting her thoughts across. Very thought provoking.

What a nice ending to the series. I enjoyed the characters and the storyline. I am saddened to see this series end. I loved the series and all the amazing stories. In here we finally have Oz get his story. He has been the savior and helper for the brothers and now who is going to help save him?
I loved seeing all the brothers and their significant others showing up off and on during this one. We meet some newish characters who are developed nicely.
Overall this is a good story. Not my favorite of the series but still nice in its finality.

Yes! Yes! Yes! Another outstanding story in this series! I was glued/hooked into this one until the last page! I am please in how this series is playing out. Its mafia to the core! Dies it have soft moments? Of course but when the boys or the girls become offended or ticked off?? Wait for the fallout and see who is left standing!
Stefano and Em were both characters I was waiting to find out more about. Each has had a…lets say difficult…time in the past years. Then to see how they *feel* for each other. I LOVEd it! Especially when the others get involved.
Overall another smash by this author. I would recommend reading them in order for the best understanding of whats going on. I can’t wait for more! Jan 2022….hurry please

What a Book! This has a great story plus its very informative. I loved seeing Red get his ending. He is still the rough and tumble Prez but he has that other side for his old flame and kid. These two had a long road to haul before everything gets settled down. I enjoyed all the ups and downs.
This does cover a subject I really did not know much about. Everything was explained extremely well. This was an eye opener for me and probably will keep me thinking into the future.
I loved seeing all the members from the other clubs. And Dang if Drummer doesn’t still have that edge to him when riled. I loved hearing that in my head. The epilogue really made me smile!
Overall an excellent conclusion to this story. I was worried with it being two parts but the author outdid herself with this story.

What an ending to the series!! I was on pins and needles trying to figure how it would all play out. The author has done an amazing job with these characters and the world(s) they live in. They each entranced me with their abilities, skills and goodness or deviousness. I watched these characters grow and change throughout this book and even the series. I am sorry to see the end but it was quite a journey we went on!
Overall I highly recommend this book and the series!

This is a nice story. I admit I did struggle a bit with it. The characters seemed good so it was the way the story was delivered. Lots of thinking between questions and answers when they were talking. So a “how are you” would get answered on the next page or two. That to me is something I don’t care for. Quicker dialogue would have been better. I did end up skipping down paragraphs or pages at times and just read the dialogue…to stay in the moment. I also did not care for the all caps throughout..many times I thought yelling was going on but it wasnt. Then the real emphasis on words just fell through the cracks.
I did enjoy the characters. They both are different and unique. He is a playboy and an overtly sexual being destined to find a wife. She is shy, introverted and at the end of her proverbial rope. Together they actually blend well and I enjoyed their time together.
