Cosplay Worthy by Quiana Glide – Review by Liz Vrchota

Cosplay WorthyCosplay Worthy by Quiana Glide
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I really enjoyed this cosplay romance that just pulled me in right from the beginning and never let go until the end. This was a new author to me and I wasn’t sure what to expect, but when I saw the cover and some reviews I knew this was something I couldn’t miss the chance to read. I am glad I one-clicked on a rainy and dreary day because this was exactly what I needed. I felt as if I was right there with the characters as they experienced what was going on, sometimes as if I was cosplaying myself. It was just the right amount of steam and love story to balance the geeky nerd parts that I also wanted so much but can sometimes overwhelm the story. I can’t wait to see what else is available from this author and what may come next.

Journeys Through AllCreation (Journeys Through Book 3) by James Talisman – Review by Liz Vrchota

Journeys Through AllCreation (Journeys Through Book 3)Journeys Through AllCreation by James Talisman
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I have sincerely loved these books from the start, something I highly suggest everyone start from as well. These books are jam packed full of adventurers that go in an order that really needs to be read in an order. They are even available in a box set for convenience too so that is a nice snag if you are a bargain shopper like me for a series. Back to business lol. This book is another fast adventure that is built around an ancient artifact that holds the power to save all creation. There are lots of old characters that we get to visit with again and follow and new ones we get to meet too! I love the characters. They are so realistic and vivid. The scenery too is just so imaginative and beautiful that it makes me feel as if I am there myself with the characters as we embark on the next adventure. I also loved the deep thinking that goes into the book and that it makes me do as I read. I can’t wait to see what this author is cooking up next!

Bella: An Appalachian Love Story & Jagged Dawn: Logan’s Beginnings by Valerie Davisson – Review by Liz Vrchota

Bella-An Appalachian Love Story & Jagged Dawn-Logan's BeginningsBella-An Appalachian Love Story & Jagged Dawn-Logan’s Beginnings by Valerie Davisson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is two prequels in one, to a series of books so I would recommend that you be aware of that before starting at least. They are both beautiful novels and wonderfully vivid reads that will set you up beautifully for the Logan McKenna Mystery books. I loved the sweet and heartwarming story of Norah and her violin in the first book and how that tied the gorgeous cover into the book. She is so relatable and I just loved everything about her. This book was deeply rooted in history and storytelling and I felt like I was taken on the most unique history lesson but in the most unique way. In book two we learned the background of Logan McKenna, who is the Great Granddaughter of Norah. How cool huh! The violin also plays more into this one as well. I really liked how the books were separate but not. I look forward to seeing if we will be getting more in this series of books or not, fingers crossed for the more!

The Ghastly Gumball by Naomi Valkyrie – Review by Liz Vrchota

The Ghastly GumballThe Ghastly Gumball by Naomi Valkyrie
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

First of all, I have to say the cover of this book is outstanding and draws in the reader before you even read the title or the snappy synopsis, but once you do you want to know what the story is inside as well. I am personally a fan of the author and have followed and read her work before so I was anxious to get my hands on this sucker but I would have scooped this up as a new reader instantly based solely on the cover. Secondly, this book is short and fun. It packs a lot of really cool elements like magic and gumballs and octopus and romance and all the things into one neat, fun and relatable package that is fun to disappear into for a short time. I literally feel like I am lost into a whole new world when I read her work and that is the coolest thing ever and I love that. It is vivid and realistic in a way that is tangible. I can’t wait to see what we will get to disappear into next!

Until There Was You by G. Colgrove – Review by Liz Vrchota

Until there was youUntil there was you by G. Colgrove
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Woah, this book took me on one heck of a ride in a whirlwind of an afternoon. I didn’t know what to expect when I sat down to read it on a cold and rainy Sunday. I knew I needed to disappear into something good and this was a new author with promising reviews and a gorgeous cover so I figured why not. I can’t even begin to describe the amount of sizzle and sass that I was greeted with, and the fun pull of the romance too! Everything with Regan and Jeremy was balanced in a way that was poetic and believable and I could only complain about wanting more. Seriously. I loved it all and I can’t wait to see what else is available and to come!

Lingering Spirits (Soul Connection, #4)Lingering Spirits by Nikki Lynn Barrett
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I really have enjoyed reading this series from the beginning, and I would recommend that you do so as well for the fullest enjoyment of the books. This one really delves right in and takes us on a journey more into the psychic side of things and I just loved every moment of it. I really enjoy how these novels don’t get too odd or overwhelmed with the paranormal side of things and things flow so well that they are believable and realistic like they should be. This makes them so much more enjoyable and relatable for a reader like myself who dabbles in the occult and believes in this type of things. I really enjoyed this one and felt a strong connection to the characters. I look forward to seeing what we will get next!

Unchecked: A Steamy Love Triangle Love Romance by Carina Alyce – Review by Liz Vrchota

Unchecked (MetroGen Downtown Kiss and Tell, #1)Unchecked by Carina Alyce
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Yall, if you haven’t checked out this author you really should! Especially if you are a lover of all things Grey’s Anatomy and ER type shows like I am myself. I love medical dramas and these books take all the things I love about those and the tropes I love in my book world and mixes them together to make the best reads that take me away and I love every single minute of it. When I open one I know I am going to be pretty much unavailable until I find out how that book finishes so I am grateful they are not huge novels that I can consume fairly fast for myself. This one was so fun because it brought the lovers triangle to the forefront and did a wonderful job of it as well. I was consumed with Stella’s story and her journey to find that love and the right fit for her. I won’t be divulging any deets for that you will have to read yourself but I can promise it will be a steamy one you won’t want to put down! I can’t wait to see what we will get next!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I have really loved the Welcome to Bunya Junction novels so far but this one has to be my favorite yet! I really needed a feel good love story and this one just had all the right boxes ticked for me when I needed it most. This author has a wonderful knack for writing amazing scenery that takes me away to the Outback of Australia and honestly who doesn’t need that, especially in the middle of the winter in Nebraska. I absolutely fell in love with Scott and was really rooting for him happily ever after the whole time. I can’t wait to see what we will get next!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This was a new to me author and fun and inviting cover that drew me in and had me intrigued right away! I had to know what was going to happen inside and I am glad I scooped this sucker up. It was quite the busy read and had a lot of story in it but this author did a fab job of keeping things pretty organized and my attention honed while I read. I liked that things were not always sunshine and roses for the characters like life so often is as it made the book not only relatable but real and believable. I for sure will be back to see what will happen next because I feel like this book was definitely ended in a way more will be coming and I will be definitely checking out this author’s other works soon as well!

So Right (Love Grows Series Book 5) by Renee Regent – Review by Liz Vrchota

So Right: A Fake Fiancee Reverse Age Gap Romance (Love Grows Series Book 5)So Right: A Fake Fiancee Reverse Age Gap Romance by Renee Regent
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I was so excited to get my hands on this fifth installment of the Love Grows series! It was absolutely everything I thought it would be too, just wonderful and romantic and sweet! This book had me hooked right from the very start with the premise of Amara and Petro both vying for this promotion and being both deserving. Both of them are so cute and have this attraction so the assignment isn’t going to kill them but it later develops its own issues and that is where the novel really comes in with the hard hitting feels and twists and turns that just make you keep reading past your bedtime to see if these two will get the happily ever after you so badly want them to. I so much hope for more in this series and if you haven’t had a chance to check out the rest of them I would run and do so. They are all wonderful couples and reads!

Reverence of a Ronin by Bree M. Lewandowski – Review by Liz Vrchota

Reverence of a RoninReverence of a Ronin by Bree M. Lewandowski
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This author always has a knack for transporting me with her words and making me feel as if I am in a magical world. It doesn’t even have to be a magical type themed novel to feel magical as I read, her writing is so invoking and mesmerizing I am completely taken away on these journeys as I read that I was wrapped up in the story and transported. I love every moment I spend with the characters and become so fully invested every time. This time was no exception to the rule and I loved that we got to see the side of a geisha’s life. I have always had a bit of a fascination with that world and so this was a nice little peek into that for me with the added bonus of a gorgeous romance storyline to follow as well. This story was often haunting at times and yet I felt moved as well. I found myself really feeling the gambit of emotions as I read, and really that is what we all want to feel when we slip into a novel. I couldn’t put it down and found myself reading this well past my bedtime to see how things would culminate. I most certainly cannot wait to see what else this author is cooking up for us next!

First of all, I have to give a nod to the gorgeous cover for this novel, it is absolutely gorgeous. I would have been pulled in right away had I not already been a huge fan of this author already. I needed this sucker and began reading right away. I instantly fell in love with Cate and Pattie, both written so realistically that you felt as if you wanted to reach out and embrace or scold, or more really as you read the both of them. These two and their journey engulfed my soul for really for the day. I was consumed with how they would traverse some twists I won’t divulge and ended up reading this sucker in one day, #notsorry. I cannot say enough good things about this one, definitely can’t wait to see what will come next from this author fav!

This book was such a wonderful and engaging read! I loved how it really grabbed me from that first chapter and kept reeling me in until that last chapter so much so that I found myself reading well past my bedtime to find out how this book would come to a conclusion. While this book might be a sweet romance it plays out with the intrigue of an old mystery murder crime and set against the backdrop of beautiful vintage clothing. The worldbuilding and scene setting is exquisite and I felt as if I could slip into the clothing myself. I absolutely loved every moment that I spent with Tess and Trey, and the cast of supporting characters that flow in and out of the story really come to life just as much as they do. I look forward to seeing what will come next!

Daire's DevilsDaire’s Devils by Danielle Ackley-McPhail
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Let me tell you this was a new one for me. Completely out of my comfort zone but something about that synopsis and a few teasers drew me in to an author I am already familiar with. This was for starters an incredibly vivid read, and I could tell that this a passion of the authors and I can appreciate that. Now, I don’t know a thing about RPGs but I will say this has to be a fantastic one to base off of because it just jumps off your kindle. I did find myself struggling from time to time as a person who isn’t already familiar with this world and would maybe suggest some smoothing in the writing in future books to help that for others in my shoes. I enjoyed the entire team of characters and really want to come back for more adventures. This is definitely one to check out if you like military sci-fi loaded with action and adventure.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Oh I just loved this one! Being the first in a new series you could tell this was setting us up for some fun books to be had and I for one and here for it. I loved this fun and sweet, and sometimes sassy paranormal, angel lore, romance read. It had some new elements to it that I hadn’t seen before, and hey that is something we don’t see much of lately. I really only have one negative takeaway, and that is it was just so short. This book could have been longer and I would have devoured it happily as I am sure others would have. I can only hope we will have more story to look forward to in future installments!

I really enjoyed this novel from a newer author that I have enjoyed getting to know. This one really snagged my full attention from the very first few pages and had me hooked until that ‘the end’ that I so much wanted but also didn’t want at the same time. This book really pulls from some of the darkest days in our history with slavery and the love story that this author creates with Leon and Penny I promise will captivate you and make you find a shimmer of hope in this dark time. I fell in love with both of them and could appreciate both of their struggles. I was rooting for them to find the way to heal and somehow find love. This was such an amazing read and I cannot wait to see what we will get next!

Journeys Through Collection: Volumes 1-3 by James Talisman – Review by Liz Vrchota

Journeys Through Collection: Volume 1-3Journeys Through Collection: Volume 1-3 by James Talisman
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I have said it before and will say it again, I love boxsets. This is a fabulous series to get in that form because you are getting an enormous amount of story and adventure and more for such and amazing value that it almost feels like a disadvantage to the amazing author. You can always tell with these books how much time and effort went into them with the imagination and fervor that is in the worldbuilding of the novels. They are just amazing and each one is a new adventure that will have you hanging on the edge of your seat as you navigate topics I am sure most wouldn’t even imagine could be so amazing and beautiful as well as fascinating. I am going to include the reviews of each of the first two books for now. I am not done with the third as it just released and just can’t give that to you yet until I do but I will be back to add to this when I do!

Journeys Through SpaceTime: Book One
Journeys Through SpaceTime by James Talisman is his debut novel and it is a doozy. This book is not one that I would normally pick up because I tend to get extremely overwhelmed with multiverse story lines. Now, I must say this book had its confusing times where I found myself rereading sometimes three times to finally sort it all out, but I felt like this book was worth it. That is where the key to a great book lays for me. He has managed to build up these beautiful and vibrant worlds so that you feel as if you are traversing space right along with the characters. I enjoyed the amount of effort and time that was so apparent while reading, that was put into this novel to make it all that it is. This book also incorporates a lot of different characters as well as the worlds so be prepared to take a deep breath and dedicate the time to this novel to get the maximum enjoyment out of it. I read it over holiday break so I feel like maybe I will need a reread when the tiny terrorists return to school lol. I will definitely be around for a book two to see what will come next.

Journeys Through TimeSpace: Book Two
Ok so I do not read multiverse or sci-fi books, like ever, but the first one in this series of Journeys Through from James Talisman kept me hooked completely from beginning to end and I am so excited that the second one lived up to the same standards and hype. Talisman has a knack for writing some vivid scenes that will literally take you away through the vast ‘multiverse’ and make you fall in love with the characters along the journey. I love how this is not an original idea per say amongst the sci-fi world, it is completely written in a way that it is fresh and very original. I can’t honestly say I have ever read other books like this or enjoyed them.

I know this is said to be able to be read as a stand alone novel but I would HIGHLY recommend that you start with the first book, Journeys through SpaceTime. You will not be disappointed that you had the chance to experience the universe that Talisman has created in these novels. I am very excited to see what the next book will hold and what characters and worlds we will get to visit in that one.

The Clockwork Solution (The Clockwork Chronicles Book 2)The Clockwork Solution by Michelle D. Sonnier
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I want to be a bit brutally honest for a moment here because this is a review and well I have an opinion lol… This book was completely nothing what I thought it would be. In fact it was ten times better and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I really loved it and want more. I just happen to be one of those weirdos that tend to judge books by their covers and this book, well, it doesn’t do it for me. And it pigeon holes it into a category that won’t snag the group of readers that this book needs to snag because it is that good. It needs a bright beautiful steampunk, catch your eye cover. The adventures inside don’t match the little house on the prairie on the cover.

With that I feel better and this book was amazing. If steampunk adventure fantasy reads are your thing, this book will blow your mind. I was whisked away to this new world of adventure with Arabella and I am super excited to find out more with future books! This is a new author to me and I really love how she writes with such vigor and passion, it really shows in the story and character development. The side characters are just as fun as the main ones. I will definitely be back for more and look forward to sharing this one with my teenagers.

This is the fourth installment in the Orkneyinga Murders series and I personally would recommend that you read the series in its entirety for the full enjoyment. I can see where you would be good if you really just wanted to dive in though as this author is really skilled in her ability to pay attention to details and just flows so beautifully with her words. I loved the way the Viking world came to life off my kindle screen. This book once again kept me guessing all the way until the end with plenty of intrigue that I just couldn’t’ put it down until I found out who had done it. I look forward to seeing where the rest of the series will go.

Now I am glad that I have a new author to discover more books of and a new series to delve into as they are released. That was my only saving grace lol. This book completely sucked me in. It had all the juicy bits that I want in a suspenseful and gripping romance with a detailed plot that made me just want more, more, more, and more! I fell in love with the characters fast and hard and had to know how the ending would play out. I loved that this wasn’t quite as predictable as I had it pegged to be either. It just was 5 star goodness all the way through that I can’t say enough good about. I can’t wait for more to come!

A Hundred Wishes (Band of Sisters)A Hundred Wishes by Marianne Rice

While this may be the third book in a series, I had read the author before and saw some teasers and the cover and just had to read it and dove right in not too worried, and I was completely okay reading it. I loved how this book was a feel good sweet romance that had the effect of reading a hallmark movie sort of. I just slipped away as I read about Gina and Bryce and the road of obstacles they will have to traverse to find the happily ever after they both so deserve. I loved the flow and the ease with which it read and honestly I devoured it in one sitting before bed. I will definitely be checking out the rest of the books that came before it and am eager to see what will come. The added storyline about the sisterhood of friendship that Gina has is wonderful too. I found it refreshing and I love reading about girlfriends and their shenanigans. This is definitely one that you don’t want to miss!

This was a fun one to get lost in and devour! I have never had the chance to experience this author before but I can tell you it won’t be my last that is for sure! I just loved this steamy and sassy read and I had no idea what I was going to get when I picked it up. Normally I love sports romances and the cover and blurbs with a few teasers sold me when they crossed my timeline. I knew I had to see what the outcome would be after Brynn smacks Levi in the nuts lol. I was not disappointed at all. This book really dove so much more into matters of the heart. I found myself laughing out loud, oohing and ahhing at the sweetness at times, finding it smexy hot and smoldering, and downright angst at others. It had all the pieces I needed for the perfect romance and really it kept me up way past my bedtime because I just needed to know how these two would play out and if they would get the happily ever after. I am excited that this will be the beginning of a series so there will be more to come from Astoria Bay Thunder. I will for sure be back for more!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

WoooHOO! I found a new steamy fun author to devour! This is one I could NOT put down. Thankfully it was a short and very easy to devour read that only kept me up slightly past my bedtime lol. I was hooked right into Leslie and Trevor’s story and completely captivated by the way this one just rolled off the kindle like a television show. I see now this seems to be a thing, maybe we should have some producers read these books and take note because I was way more entertained than I have been in a long while with my typical medical television dramas that I normally love and devour I have absolutely been a diehard fan so this book was right up my alley when I discover Leslie was a female firefighter making her way in a mans world. It just really made her a fun character to follow and love. Trevor was relatable and loveable even being a football player jock. These two will have you loving love and wanting the heat! I can’t wait to see what will come next!!

Mafia romance is one of my favorite genres to read, and this author really does a fantastic job with this in each of the Mafia Elite books but this one, this one is just the diamond in the rough. I devoured this book in one sitting, all in one night actually and I had zero guilt for the loss of sleep the next day. This book just has everything you could want from the drama and intrigue, to the angst and passion that will ooze off the screen as you read. I just couldn’t put it down until I knew how things would culminate for Marco and Elena. Now, I am not going to really give you much more than what the synopsis would be as far as what’s in this book, but you do not want to miss their story. These two will have you yelling at your kindle for multiple reasons, I know I was. I can’t wait to see what will come next!

I was excited to get my hands on this fifth and exciting installment of the Moore Family Saga and it most certainly did not disappoint! I was completely swept up and away into this story much like I had been in the past with the others. I would personally recommend that you take the time to delve into those before this one as they really lay a foundation of the family and the characters that will build the story for you. The author does a wonderful job of building the world and the story that I am sure if you really did not want to you could read it as a standalone and I am sure you would be hooked into it and want to read the others though. In this one we find ourselves completely immersed in the world of Miles and Bella, and I find myself really finding this one to be my top favorite! I cannot wait to see what will come next!

I have absolutely adored every one of the New Orleans Nocturnes Books but this one has to be my absolute favorite in the series so far. I laughed so hard I was in tears at one point and at others I was fanning myself from the heat pouring from the screen of my kindle. This book brings it for sure and I was completely here for it! I couldn’t get enough and my only regret came at the end when the last few chapters came so fast. I found myself reading this sucker well into the night and was up way too late but I just had to know how Katrina and Gabe’s story would work out in the end. This book is spicy and has so many elements to it for everyone that loves a good paranormal romance read with some comedic relief. You don’t have to read any of the other books in the series to enjoy this one either but they are also amazing so give them a look too! I can’t wait to see what will come next!

I was excited to start this fifth installment of the Interstellar Rescue Series. I have been following and reading from the very beginning, but you can enjoy this read on its own if you’d like without any hiccups. This author has a knack for world building and really makes you feel as if you are transported right into the novel as you read. I really felt as if I was along for the journey and it was quite the adventurous space travel that is for sure! I loved how this included so many different layers. From romance, intrigue, action, adventure, sci-fi moments that make you think, to racial indifferences and more. I was never bored and they all flowed so beautifully. I loved the characters and developed a soft spot in my heart for Lael. I look forward to seeing what will come next!

Blindsided: A Contemporary Sports RomanceBlindsided: A Contemporary Sports Romance by T. Christensen
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I love these kind of books… sometimes lol. This was one of those situations where I really loved it because I was all over the place while reading and one moment I found myself screaming at my kindle, and the next I was cheering these two on. I suppose this is often what we are looking for when we want a great romance read though. We want to be engaged and completely invested in the characters, and darn if I wasn’t completely invested in Brock and Kirsa. Sometimes, these situations where a third person plays havoc on something that is already so perfect is a hard situation for a polyamorus person to read like myself because I typically just shout, why not just love everyone lol and I have to remember that is not how the world works for everyone else. This is a beautiful book that kept me reading and had me believing in the hard work it takes to rebuild the hurt and scars that are there to find the love that is still shining through.
