My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book is just as fantastic as book 1!! I always love stories with vampires and a dark world. This story of Christian and Delilah….loved it.

Christian wants revenge on those who hurt Delilah. There is no doubt that Christian and Delilah’s love is tested….and their chemistry is great. I just love this book by

I realize she wanted to save her brother, but the impact she had tore at my heart strings. Grey does not want Vanessa in the underworld with him, Raef loves Vanessa and Aroz…he still is a tricky one.

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Fabulous book by Author N.D. Jackson. I am so happy I picked this book up. Athena is strong willed, independent, wealthy multi business owner. She was kicked out of her home by her parents when she was 17 years old by a tragic event and never looked back. Tru, a sweet but yet cocky pool player, happens to have a tournament at Athena’s pub and meets her for the first time. Major sparks happen. As Tru falls in love with Athena the more they spend time together, can she get over her past and let all the walls that barricade her heart crumble to love Tru back? This story, for me, is a slow burn, but I loved it.

Mafia bosses daughter and a by the book cop…..what happens when Aria and Theo fall in love? This story is very good and I enjoyed it very much. Aria is hesitant to join her family as a mafia lawyer and is a “fixer”. She helps her best friend’s mom to pay off drug debts and feels like she need to fix any problem that comes in her way. Theo is by the book cop, dedicated and is driven by his fathers untimely death when he as just a boy. Sparks happen when Theo has a plan to get in on the Rossi family and the mafia family, and involves Aria. Even though they are on different sides, I loved them together. There are definitely some twists in the story….Aria and Theo keeping their romance a secret, finding out what happened to Theo’s dad and and the power driven Rossi family. Great read.

Hawke (Men of Syn, #1)Hawke by Anise Storm
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Wow….this book..this story! Charlotte is strong and determined, being on her own and running her very own party planning business. Nathaniel aka Hawke, arrogant, rude dangerous but yet vulnerable and his pasts really haunts him. Charlotte and Hawke did meet prior, but little did she know she runs into him again when he is looking to hire someone to help plan a masquerade party for his new business at Syn. Charlotte wants all of Hawke and nothing less but he will not let Charlotte in as his past haunts him so much. When I read more into this story, Hawke past, it was truly hard to fathom how the people he should have trusted the most let him down. The abuse and torture that he went through as a child really got to me. Then there is a also mystery involved in the story of a serial killer. Who is this person and will Charlotte be his next victim? There is so much to this book and it was hard to put down. This is the first book of Author Anise Storm’s and will definitely not be my last. This is a fantastic book!

The Singer and Her Song (Empire at Twilight #2)The Singer and Her Song by N.L. Holmes
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Book 2 of the Empire of the Twilight Series was enjoyable. This book can easily be read as a stand alone. I find the attention to detail, especially the historical nature, that Author N.L. Holmes puts into this book is fantastic. Uqnitum flees from Mittani when she loses family. Parts of the story I really felt to for Uqnitum, the guilt and darkness. Definitely read the book to find out if Uqnitum overcomes the danger she has become and find strength to overcome. Overall a very good story with great attention to details. Well Done Author N.L. Holmes

I enjoyed this fall seasonal book in a small town feel. Bella, a teacher, is trying to save the arts program at the school. Cade, a indie rock star, ends up having to do community services and meets Bella. I love Bella and Cade’s chemistry and the story behind each character.

Read this book and find out, I highly recommend this contemporary romance!

A Cold Day in Hell (Life is Hell #5)A Cold Day in Hell by Naomi Valkyrie
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I just cannot get enough of this series, and Author Naomi Valkyrie is truly amazing to bring these characters to life. I am so invested in all of the characters and truly loved the very deep friendship of Haddie and Jezebel. Haddie is a fallen angel, while Jezebel is a shifter. At first, I was not sure about Haddie..her character was a bit…stern…but understanding and finding out why…I can truly understand. With Jezebel, you do not get to meet much of her in the other books, but this book really shines on her character…..and she is trying to run from her past…and Haddie goes along for the ride. Will Haddie save Jezebel? You definitely recommend reading the series in order and I can say again, this book is fabulous!!!!

Can I just say, again, wow what a read!?!? First off I really just commend the author for adding a Character List at the beginning of the book as this was very helpful. There are many characters with different POVs and so much detail, this really made me think I wanted to be part of this story in the book. I love the action, adventure, mixed with betrayal all wrapped into this book. The author did such a fantastic job on details and having different worlds revolving around all the characters. I love the fantasy/sci fi in this and truly looking forward to diving into book 2.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Wow and I thought book 1 was heart breaking, this one really did it for me. Please be advised of the triggers of abuse when reading this book. I can say this book parts of this were harder to read due to the triggers for sure for me, but yet I wanted to know about Wren. His story is truly heartbreaking, especially when growing up all he wanted was unconditional love from his parents but his father, I am just shaking my head. There are no words I can describe Wren’s father, just not good. When Wren meets his love, Henry, thinking this could be Wren’s happiness. But as fate would have it this book, twists and turns come into play. Will Wren find out the truth? I recommend reading the first book as some things tie in… but I do not want to give it away. Overall 4 Stars.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This book is dark, heart wrenching and I am torn in thought. After finishing this book, it has taken me a day to write this review because of thinking of everything that happened in this story. Shane Coulter’s character has totally torn my heartstrings many times in this book. He is angry, distant and at times a complete jerk, keeping family and friends at arms length not to get close. Yet I feel for him completely, the abuse he suffered and the loss of a close friend that he never got over. The story unfolds as we meet Callan, whom was the love of his life, pop back in and wants another chance with Shane. There is a lot of love/hate feelings from Shane when it comes to giving Callan another chance. This story unfolds, but there is so much more… Family secrets, lost friendships, Dark twists and turns along the way, but I do not want to give the book, you need to read it to find out. The ending though made me feel like I missed a piece of some puzzle that I am trying to wrap my head around. Please be advised there are triggers of abuse. Overall 4 Stars.

I love a good RomCom and this book was a fun read. I love how Sheldon and Simone meet and their attraction but yet they try and keep it cool. Simone is fierce, no nonsense while Sheldon, whom is a veterinarian, is about one night stands and creating miniatures (you definitely have to read the book to understand). I enjoyed the back story as far as being Sheldon and Simone being involved in Freedom Roar rescue, which is big cat rescue. Will Simone and Sheldon find love while working at the rescue? This is definitely a great RomCom with definitely some laugh out loud moments and lots of smiles.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Mr. Nice Guy is a cute, sweet story by Belinda Williams. This story is about Chelsea and Tom. Chelsea’s dating life is just full of going for the “bad boys”. Tom decides to ask Chelsea to give him 7 days and 7 nights to show her what it is like to date a “Nice Guy”. I really loved Tom’s character, he was charming and sweet and thought highly of Chelsea. For Chelsea, she was always putting herself down and sometimes did not feel her worth when it came to relationship nor her work. As Chelsea and Tom have their 7 days and 7 nights, will this turn into more then just friendship? You will have to read the book and find out :). Overall this is an easy, fun book.
