This book, it was a book I truly loved in more ways than one. The book was something more people should know about as well as understand. The book faced the elephant in the room, head on, that is what we call mental illness. The book was by far one of the best that I have ever read, that addresses issues such as this. It was very well written, as well as the emotions of the family! It was a by far amazing read.
The book centers on a family yes. More specifically, a boy that has been diagnosed with Schizophrenia Brandon, the boy whom had been diagnosed, was going through a lot, hearing voices and trying to understand and comprehend what was going on in his mind was not easy. His family took a till on this as well, wanting to help, but at times not knowing what the best approach or the method would be. I found the diagnosis affected all the family members differently. I feel truly that his mother had the greatest burden of all, and she had a lot of guilt and shame inside her heart..
The book was more than realistic to my eyed. I cried a lot reading this, as you truly felt the emotional wave the family was going through. And the acceptance and needing to be strong as a family to get through this hard time, but knowing its not the end, they will get through it, one day at a time. The author very much educated me with their writing on things of schizophrenia I was not aware of, and I found I was able to understand it better and knew more of the mental illness upon reading this boo. The author did amazing at this story and it was one of the most beautiful books I have ever read.
The author did such an wonderful job. The story line, though complex, it really gave everything and more to us as the readers. I am so happy and touched that the author chose to write a book about something most would choose not to. In this growing world, its something more and more people need to be accepting was and talk about. Not just sweep it under a rug. The book is a must read. No questions asked. Its a read that really makes you feel what a family with this diagnosis would be feeling and its realistic in more ways than one. It is heart felt and real with every word on the page! A brilliant book of writing!

Billiter – Review by Lorrene Huisman
This was a beautiful written story, full of ups and downs along with the trails and triumphs of this thing we called life. It was a good read, was a fast paced setting, and I really enjoyed the character development I received from reading this wonderful book
I found even the the main male character was so easy to relate to, Ray, He was a strong athlete, he was a boxer , but sadly an injury caused his career to come to a very quick stop. He starts to pick up his life again, going back to his home town and buying a local business that would be good to start up again, Everything seemed easy and off to a good start. Throw in the girl who always held your heart, but was not ethical to chase after as she was your best friend’s sister? Not so easy or productive perhaps. Alyssa had her own trials of life she had gone through, but was trying to move on and basically find her place in the world. I feel she never expected to have Ray come back into her life as he did!
Faith had other plans to for these two souls. Ray’s best friend, as well as Alyssa’s brother, sadly was not in the picture. You could tell it was something heavy for them in both their hearts. Perhaps though, maybe this loss and faith are brining them together in more ways than one? They have to work together and as they spend time together, more walls seem to fall down, and maybe they both needed each other, and they never knew how much they could feel with one another if they just allowed themselves to. Could it be true love if they allowed it? Or will life throw something into the ring that could ruin everything?
It was a very enjoyable quick read. The chemistry with Ray and Alyssa was undeniable. It was a beautiful at times, and yes it was something they both had to work hard for. I was rooting for these two souls the entire book, it was a wonderful read. I seriously recommend reading it, its not one y to miss out on!

I picked up this book, with an idea of my head of what the book would flow through with and the main concept of the book, and I will admit, in a good way, I could not be more wrong! This wonderful novel brought so much different levels of emotions as well as connections, it was such a moving as well as touching book, I never read anything like it before, and I am so happy I got to read this!
The book and its contents with the characters was beyond beautiful. It was like watching a sunset on a nice beach with a breeze, knowing that could be your last sunset you ever see perhaps. You take it all in for what it is, and defiantly for what it is worth! That is what these characters were to me All were different in their own special way. They were none of the same except for one reason only, and that was that they were t be gone soon enough due to a illness that was terminal.
Dire’s Club itself gave them all one final request to live out. No matter how big or extreme it was going to happen for each of them. I thought that was really remarkable. I bonded so much with these characters, I laughed with them, I smiled with them, and I certainly cried with them. Reading of their hopes, what they wished would happen, and defiantly their fears, really moved me. It was hard at scenes to take in what certain ones said, so much pain in love in their words, you felt everything! I just wanted to reach into the book at a few parts and hug them and give them comfort in the best way that I know.
The book gave me some new views on life to defiantly think about. Death perhaps isn’t the end of all we know, perhaps its a different path for us all. That’s my opinion I have taken back from this book. It taught me death does not have to be scary, just accepted. As well, never stop trying to live your life, we are here for a short time, lets make the most of it! The story was beautiful I cried a lot with this novel, no regrets!
The author has a special way with words and wrote this wonderful story. I really fell deep into my emotions with this one. It touched my soul and heart in ways that can never be truly expressed. It was amazing and perfect in every way. I defiantly will b telling everyone to read it. Don’t wait to read it, read it now, it really will give you a different prescriptive to think about, and wonder about as well. Its touching in more ways than one. I really had a good experience reading this book, and I wish I got to read this book sooner. It is one not to be missed. Truly recommend with all of my heart and soul for you to read this!

This book really drew me in deep, and I mean that in a good way, From the vey beginning of the novel I was sucked in. I had not read the book prior to this one, but needless to say I am going to. The characters were beautifully written and this author really knows how to grab you and keep you reading basically!
This book delivered and more. Thee book had a wide range of characters that I believe carried over from the previous book. I was so invested I felt I was a apart` of the group going through the actions and adventure…and dare I say trials/tests that they had been through in this novel!
Darkness can be over powering especially in the dark world and what it does to our beloved characters was so intense, can they really trust what they know? Is what they believe truly the truth? There was constantly something happened, the book never lagged, or seemed boring at al! I literally could not put this one down it was my perfect genre of book, and the story was so compelling I constantly needed to know what would happen next! It was amazing from start to finish!
By far, I felt a super strong connection to Tasha and Levi. They seemed to not be perfectly connected by the start of the book, but as the story continued they seemed to entwine more and more. I really loved that connection that seemed to grow? I’m feeling I am not the only reader who thought that! Every character was remarkable in a special way! The author truly delivered and then some with this book!
The book was amazing to say the least. I really felt the connection as I said with all the characters. I really felt myself adapt to what ever they faced. I loved how they stuck together during hard times and even when all seemed lost, their will and strength relied on one another got them though! The characters and how they were written were so good, and realistic! I loved the story and the action and all the paranormal setting put into it! it was a wonderful and fun read! I defiantly look forward to more in the future from this amazing author! This was truly a book that delivered above and beyond expectations!

These two books, bring a whole lot of steaminess’ and desire to the page. I should add not just to a singe page, but to multiple! The pages were full of passion, heat, and chemistry, and it brought the hotness to more extremes, and were so good to read in more ways than one!
The first story I got to enjoy, was to me about temptation and dark chocolate. You know you want it, but shouldn’t have it, but you go for a bite anyway. And you do not stop there. You keep going till you devour it all. That was what this one was like. A girl who believes she doesn’t have that appeal to be sexy or desirable. Until she spends time with her friend’s father. I must add the friend is also her best friend? Her friend’s father awakens something in her , and the heat and the passion combine in one making the pages themselves sweat with their own desire and the heat they bring. The story was so good and naughtily in different ways to read, after all don’t we all desire the temptation we shouldn’t want, but yet we do?
The second one brought just as much to the table, but a history of friendship. So I guess to me it was more than just lust and desire, there was old feelings buried that maybe would never surface or maybe just the right about of lust and heat could awaken those feelings? 2 prior best friends, who lost everything they had of a night spent together may get their happy ending after maybe. They end up corresponding years after everything they had blew up in flame, and they meet again after so long. Perhaps there was more than just beneath the sheets till why Sarah left Alex the way she did? the sparks flying when they meet again had me so invested in then, in reality I just wanted them to rip their clothes off and go at it! This one was delightful as it was sexy and steamy!
The author knew how to grasp their readers and take them as if they are bound for a night of sexiness’. That’s what happened here for sure. I was devoured by the heat and passion of these two novels. And like any good steamy event, I was left wanting more, so much more. the author is quite good at setting the scene and delivering the steam from there with all other factors entwined. I really enjoyed these books and I will be sure be reading more by then! I need this level of steaminess’ in my life more often! If you are looking for a read to give you that certain heat and lust…then read these. You will not have any regrets!

Mountford – Review by Lorrene Huisman
This was such a fun rom com to read! I had a blast reading it, and I had more than just a few moments where I laughed as well as smiled. The story and the characters were more than just engaging. And between the two main characters there was more than just them, it was their family as well that greatly impacted who they were in this story!
Ivory is basically someone powerful and successful in her career, but still she longs for the acceptance of her father. Sadly, I think even she knew from the start of the book that earning that respect would be hard to come by in more ways than words can express. Throw in Li Qiang her intern who is younger than her agrees to pretend to be in love with her in hopes to win over her father at long last. He lives in a different world than she does family wise. He seems to always have had the love of her family and when the two individuals get together with his family its sheer bliss and I think Ivory saw this is something she wishes she had all the time. As love stories go, you can only pretend so long before you begin to catch real feelings, but how can you be sure the other is as well? And how do you know when its not just pretend anymore? Matters of the heart do tend to be questionable at times, doesn’t it?
The story was full of so much happy feelings at times and a lot of love as well! The novel was a quick read as I got very much invested in the characters and I kept hoping they would find what they both deserved, but maybe even knew they wanted in life! It was a care free read, and the author gave us as the readers, a fun read, that was more than enjoyable and I surely enjoyed it till it’s final page! Wonderful read!

This was a book so easy to get hooked into, as well as really foot for our heroine, she was defiantly someone strong willed and was a character we all wanted things to turn out ok for in the end. This novel had it all, suspense, characters you hated very on, and ones that you wanted to pull through in the end. I loved the relationship with Lauren and Liz. They reminded me very much of me and my mom.
The suspense was so good in this book. Liz and Lauren are heading to a certain meet point. The reason why? The gap of the past few years are filled in with a very descriptive way of writing as well as to where we are now with a visit from the FBI. These two ladies go through a lot. And I mean a lot. They go through shady characters, an old love even, and dangerous times. The author did an amazing job at keeping the reader on their seat. It was like a good action book that never stopped. You had to always be ready to keep going. I really enjoyed it. And when everything else settles down, you can breathe yourself as the reader and really smile that your two main characters stuck together and made it! It was a fun read and the suspense really made good twists and turns and I literally needed some popcorn while reading!
The writing description of events and characters by this author was well done! I really enjoyed reading this and going on the car ride with Liz and Lauren. It was a fun ride, maybe a bit dangerous at times, but that’s what makes it an adventure! I really loved it and yes I’m recommending this to everyone. Its a read you do not want o miss out on. The author keeps the reader interested, give them a moment to read, then the suspense and action starts up again! Very fun read and amazing writing by an amazing author!

Just wow! Those are my opening words that I am using, as nothing else seems to give an impact as these books did for me! The book themselves and their storylines really impact you in different ways. And lets not forget the characters, their emotions and their drama make you feel literally everything! Its a rollercoaster of suspense, drama, and emotions needless to say! All in all, impeccable writing!
The first novel follows our lead character named Macy. She is having a rough time, and at times I truly felt for her. She did not have the best boyfriend in my opinion and she’s got issues. I mean we all do in some way and I can speak from experience that support is supper important to help us! This novel surrounds Macy and her nightmares, and her nightmares are more than the word heavy can define. What do they mean? It was a mystery and brain like thing to comprehend. Along her way trying to figure things out she meets Liam. Who basically rocks her world and shifts everything that she knows! She felt like she was losing it at times through out this novel, but perhaps there was a key in all of this that was more visible than anyone ever suspected of thought? Yes, I really loved this opening book.
We join Macy and her story continuing in the next novel. This one lives up perfectly to the one previous to it. Macy is very much confused with matters of her heart, hence the book title. Plus everything going on with her does she really need her own heart pulling her into different directions? This one brought more to the table than expected and I was hooked even more. More and more things came to light that really bought the suspense and then some. Like holy cow, this series with this second one made me feel even more, my feelings were all over the place with the characters, and I was truly entranced with this series!
We reach the final one, and yes I felt sad this series was coming to an end. I was so emotionally invested that I really grew with all the drama and suspense surrounding Macy, that I was not ready to say her story had reached its conclusion. This book bought more impact to me than the first two even did, and I truly did not think that was possible. This series bought so much and this third one really finalized everything and gave the reader for that thrill ride like no ever experienced, at least in my opinion. Macy has to go through a lot in this one, a lot of pain and suffering, what she thought she had she very much didn’t, Everything changes more than lightly for Macy, and she has to shift her world to get to the true understanding of all things that she knows! Macy is very strong, but even the strongest souls can be weakened to their knees with life! The emotions of this one were even heavy for me, and like Macy who had to continue on with her life, despite everything, I pushed through those emotions to see what would happen to Macy and all things that surrounded her! Seriously what an explosive conclusion to this one!
Seriously, I was so invested in this series and these characters I could not put this down. I was so in love with this series and all it brought to the table. This author quickly became a new favorite for me, and that’s needless to say. I am going to be stalking them for more books. the impact and feelings they brought on to me with their writing was indescribable. If an author has that power then you defiantly should pick these books up I say, I highly say to do so, your in for a treat that you can only experience upon reading these novels! Its a series that will suck you in, and make you feel everything!

Burson – Review by Lorrene Huisman
I loved these mystery novels, and them being in a box set made them all so much more amazing I would say! I loved how each one pertained to a certain mystery of its own, and the characters were always so full of intuitiveness that they were all more than just lovely characters. Plus loved how characters were carried over to the next book! All of these books are defiantly worth a read!
The first novel follows Sunshine, she has a important duty, but things go a bit haywire when a robbery happens and its bounty for her head personally. I loved her. She was a strong and good character and she had very much intelligence. She was very good at the mystery itself and a great heroine!
The second novel that we have at hand, is about the Marina. And the surrounding people and those who know Sunshine and those I will say Sunshine will get to know to get to the bottom of this. Animals begin turning up dead but why was the true mystery at hand. Sunshine and her friend go about this mystery to get to the bottom of this! Even if they have to go to the bottom of the ocean!
The final novel I got to enjoy as well, we follow the awesome Sunshine again with a murder. She has help from a few friends this round. I found this one very intriguing for me personally. There was so much surrounding this murder, and many possible motives. As the others, all were fun and great!
I loved reading about the adventures of Sunshine in the novel, and the mysteries she got sucked into! The books were fun, full of heart, and really knew how to suck you in. The author wrote a great series of books and I am so happy that I did! I had a lot of fun and enjoyment and I will defiantly suggest you read this bix set! The author wrote some wonderful mystery’s to enjoy, and they are quite addictive!
I picked this book up, as first off all the cover of the book was very bright and caught my eyes. Then I saw it was a mystery regarding around gardening. I am a die hard gardener, and I love my cozy mysteries to read, so needless to say, I had to read this! I am so glad I did, and I really enjoyed this new author for me and novel! It was mystery with so many perks, it was a joy from beginning to end!
This novel starts off as atypical group just doing their usual. Anne is the lead character in this novel and is helping out with her garden club and talking to a specific member (the head of the club basically) Something was off about her though, Anne put off oh its an off day sort of thing, but was there more than meets the eye? How well did she really know the members of her garden club?
Day continues on, and basically shock time…the member is murdered in the most unusual way. It was not her health that did it, it was defiantly a murder. Major question was though was why? And what was the motive? Was this not just a garden club of women who all had shared interests? What skeletons are in these closets of this club? What would Anne find out if she went digging? How far would she have to dig?
I loved how the author wrote this story. It was a very easy read and fast paced. I wont lie I was quite invested in this group, due to my love of gardening and planting and taking care of my crops. Those things that got mentioned as I read was really awesome, it still pertained to the story, but also made the book what it was. Which was super fun to read and awesome read!
As I read on I learned rather quick that these members may very well have had something to hide…there were things unknown and things they or should I say all a certain someone wanted left unknow and not to be dug up. Sometimes what you bury will reach the surface though. If you dig enough, and the person did not bury deep enough, you might very well have something resurface you did not expect it.
Things flowed though more, and Anne has her relationship she had going really become more. And Anne was a great character, I really loved her and seeing her take charge in this mystery and her love life was great to see. It had its quirkiness and the feeling of dying to know what would happen. This garden had a lot to dig up, and once you did all made sense and tied together! It was a great read, I really enjoyed it!
This was a first time author for me, but I had a lot of fun and I defiantly will be recommending this novel to my fellow book worms, my garden friends, and those who are a bit of both. The writing was very well done and everything came together, and it was a quick fun read. I defiantly will be reading more by this wonderful author, so happy I discovered them! This is a treat I wouldn’t have had wanted to miss!

This was such a sweet story of two people whom never planned to fall in love, or well meet and most certainly did. The chemistry more than sizzled, and when they were together it was as if it was truly meant to be, even if neither of them knew it right away.
Brody meets Willabelle one night thinking she is a intruder. After the whole mess got solved they found well there may be more attraction under the skin than meets the eye at first glance. They begin thru their times together that this could possibly be the real thing Were their hearts caught in more than just an mutual attraction? To be together, would not be easy From the lives or the drama they came from, or the heart ache even. They would have to work through and really fight for what they have going. The question is though would they stay together despite even if the odds are against them?
The story was so sweet and a lot of heart. Falling in love with Willabelle and Brody was so easy to do. They both were likeable characters even if one was basically the girl next door, and the other was the town bad boy. Both brought a lot of chemistry and I was hoping for a happy ending for them both!
The author bought two beautiful souls for a quick but but full happy feelings love story. I really felt a bond with the characters, and it was a nice read I would say. I really enjoyed the author’s writing. I read through quickly, as I wanted to see how the turn of events would affect everything and everyone. I enjoyed this book very much and look forward to read more by this author in the future!

This was a start in a new series for me, and I certainly got sucked in quickly with the novel and the characters. The book was so good I can not express. The story pulls you in, and holds you close, and you learn more about the characters and who they are, and you really feel for them. It was amazingly good!
Erin is the main female love interest in this book. She is a nurse and very caring as well as dutiful to her duties. She had secrets of her own, ones that only her heart knew best from all aspects. She goes day by day doing what she does best which is healing others, but what if a chance came for someone to heal her wombs’? Would she take a leap of faith or let the scars consume her?
Throw in a sexy bad boy named Ripper. He has had led quite the different life than Erin has. He has the I am better off on my own attitude, but yet he seems to feel incomplete. All changes for what he knows when these two souls interact. Ripper gets hurt, and he needs some tender loving care, and he just so happens to get this beautiful, kind hearted, and free spirited nurse named Erin.
Ripper feels something not possible. She was not what he normally would go after. Having an attraction for something real more than just a good time to feel good, is normally what he likes on his dinner plate. Erin feels something too, something she can not deny, but how? Why? Would they trust their feelings?
Ripper had nothing to give or so he felt. Yet he wanted her more than anything he ever thought he wanted or would want. He had past, that the law doesn’t speak very lightly on. He knows if Erin found out this would be the end of things he’s got going, and he knows tis a good thing….but is love really worth all this risk in the end? Things take a turn when their lives get aught in that fly swatter even more, when Erin funds out but not the way he wanted. With everything brought to light, the impossible had to be asked, is what they feel have, is it worth the pain and secrets of the past that made them who they were?
I really loved these two characters, especially when their secrets and pain were brought to the surface and they really opened up to one anther, and really allowed themselves to feel things they always wanted, but never felt inside their hearts, they truly deserved. They had found their safe haven truly, but with anything as beautiful as this love, they both knew they would have to work hard to keep it, other wise it would be gone and they would have the biggest regret ever of their lives upon them.
The author brought forth two beautiful characters, despite their scars they were beautiful in their own way. I really fell in love with them both and wanted them to get their happy ending. I will defiantly be reading the next one in this series. I can not wait to see what happens in the next book in the series!

This book gave me so much emotions, a lot of happiness, sadness, worry, and the very power of my mind going “what if?” This was a very powerful book and it was amazing in so many ways not for the just the emotions it gave to me, but also the characters and who they were, and what they would be. It was first time read by this author, and I will read more of their books, and for sure the next one in the series.
I have never felt the feeling in my life of many whom have to give up their child. Betty in the book had to just this. I really felt I was in her shoes, the pain and suffering and the agony she was in. She lost the the person she cared about most as well as her daughter, she was basically taken away from her. She loved her truly, you could tell, she wanted to give her a wonderful life, but could she? The pain from letting her go really impacted Betty and who she was, and who she would become though the years. I felt so much tears forming reading the words upon what Betty went through. The heart break was really felt, for real.
Flash forward to Marlena. The adopted daughter of Betty. A young girl who lives her life unknowing she was ever adopted. A secret that would greatly impact her soon. Her father needs medical aid, she feels she’s his daughter and she can assist him with his medical needs. Then the big secret comes out, and Marlena learns she was adopted. I literally felt the heart break and the anger and hurt she felt as well as I did for Betty. All that time she could have been told, yet she wasn’t, how did her un-biological parents think she would exact? Did they think she would never find out? Easy to say, she was hurt and shocked beyond what very words could write out to describe the emotional impact.
These two worlds were meant to intersect unknowingly to both of these women. Marlena sets out to find out her birth mother and years to know her, to understand more, to meet her true mother and receive answers to so many questions she deeply needs emotionally, and truly feels she has a right to know.
As we get on the path to their lives that would intertwine. So much emotions were felt. More than I had already experienced. Truth of what happened with Betty and Marlena’s fathers surfaces. You truly felt everything, and I mean literally everything There was so much truth in all things felt and the characters who the whole adoption shaped both women to be was truly beautiful but devastating to both of them at different times in their life, past present, and the future.
This author was a first time read for me, but truly tugged at my heart strings and had me with tears of joy as well as sadness. I kept rooting for the family to meet and connect. For them to have their look and say “your my mom” or “your my daughter.” All in all this was beautiful to read and I am so glad I got to read this. Emotionally beautiful in so many ways. A must read. It takes a special author to impact so many emotions on the reader, and this one did that. I loved it so much, defiantly recommend this story!

This was a brand new author for me, and seriously they had me hooked! I literally could not put this one down! The characters and the plot and how everything entwined as things happened and were pieced together I was left constantly wanting more!
This novel follows a mystery on an island. People are getting sick, and I mean really sick. Its a mystery at hands for sure, but to what cause? Hawaii is a very nice place and well cared for, but why are the people dying from a sickness that seems to kill them in horrid and bizarre ways?
Then we have Sarah here. She is a lead investigator assigned to this mystery and this case. She struck me as someone right off the bat as she will get to the bottom of it no matter what. Would she though? That was the most true question at hands. Sarah trying to figure this out, but it seems to prove more difficult than the obvious statements would have let on! All in all, this mystery and the less obvious behind why the illness that is killing people was more intriguing than I would have ever thought.
I tend to be a scientist myself, believing there is always a explanation to very issue. In this case it really had me scratching my head. Nothing was adding up. No sense of a infection causing these things…what could it be? Perhaps something more less of not of a common issue of this world maybe?
Sarah had a sharp mind and she was very much a inquisitive individual. She had good group of people in her life, and together they were working together to figure out what was going on. As I read on I had my suspicions, and I will admit, I was off. It was not what I guessed and the true conclusion to the mystery was even better my own thoughts. It wrapped up very nicely! And the author defiantly used her tricks’ to keep myself as the reader in suspense to keep reading to figure out what is going on this island!
I loved Sarah so much. She was such a kick ass awesome character. As well as her I loved reading about Hawaii, I truly felt at times of my duration of this book that I was on the case with Sarah and the gang trying to figure things out, and draw clues to piece together in this puzzle! The author is great at the suspense and the word building, and they did an amazing novel! I will for sure be reading the next in the series and see what new dangers Sarah and her group face and have to figure out! This was a fun, fast paced read full of amazing components as well as these characters! I highly recommend reading!

I have read the previous book in the series, and let me say it was so good and addictive and I was very excited to read this one as well! I can happily say, this one spared no exceptions. It was addictive, steamy, sexy, and full of danger and everything else I wanted from the first novel to carry through with!
This one we follow the new two lead characters whom had the staring roles in this novel! Christian and Delilah…a human and vampire. Basically two souls though not from the same world, truly loved one another, with their hearts rather than mainly just lust and sex appeal as the first book strongly gave off on regarding the main story line. Christian is a vampire as well as Master of the Consulate. Delilah is a human. They believe it does not matter they live in different worlds, because they a real thing going on.
Sadly, people of Christian’s world are dead set against this relationship. The fact that they are well bonded, makes things worst. Delilah is left dead. Christian who does not want to ever picture a life without her, decides to make her like him. Was it a wise decision How would the Consulate react to this new soul in their world? Also how would Delilah going to react to life as to what she is now?
As things progressed after that big event, things come to light that Christian did this on his own and not gained permission of his Consulate. He did this as an act of love. Selfish to some, but only true to he knew she was his mate till the end of time. He wasn’t about to let what could be a life time, basically be ripped from his hands.
Delilah on the other hand had to take time to progress this. This was a huge change for her. And everything she ever knew, or loved, was forever different and viewed different. Things happen, and well the Consulate want to keep these two lovers separated. Delilah (loved her character by the way) was a very strong woman even after she was turned, to speak her mind. Christian was her mate as well. Despite people’s opinions she did not care. She knew where she belonged and was going to do so anyway even if some souls did not like it, or want it to be.
Their love was defiantly tested in this novel. Things were not rainbows at first. They truly had to work through things as mates to truly decide with this great ordeal if this is the fate they are destined for as well as if this is the truest thing that they want? Things begin to tie loose ends with what happened with Delilah and how Christian’s world is in danger from different shape shifters. He wants revenge for his mate, and basically for having to be forced to turn her with no consent. Christian is forced to take a back seat and not go after what he wants, and this is revenge, but he has his Delilah who is strong and fierce and is the very woman he fell in love with, she gathers the females’ souls and goes forward with her band of wit basically to seek revenge and prepare for the show down that would unfold!
In conclusion, what made this book as amazing as it was, was basically Christian and Delilah’s love. It was good then it was very rocky. Then fate gave them reasons not to be mated for life. And they gave them a million why they should be together. I loved that. They proved they were meant to rule one another’s hearts even when the times were well worst than bad. Their love, chemistry, attraction, as well as their connection only grows as the story develops. It really gave everything I wanted and then some!
I loved both these two books in the series. I can not wait to see what this amazing author brings next in the third novel when I get my hands on it. I know it will be nothing short of amazing. The story and writing is so good and you really bond with the characters which I love. The book fine details of places as well as the characters was so good to the fine points all through out the novel. I loved it more than words can say. I was more than impressed. Amazing read! Loved it greatly, and I await the 3rd with eagerness!

Seriously freaking good!!! I was hooked literally by the character introductions! I can not express words enough how good this was. It was like a good piece of cheese cake that just got better the more you ate it, or in this case as you read it. I didn’t expect the book to unfold how it did. It was different and really good. It went on a path I didn’t see forth, it was original and I seriously feel in love with the author’s writing style!
In the beginning we are introduced to two characters whom go by the names of Zoey and Alex. Its a sad introduction as they just lost their mother and their doing her funeral, and you can tell the deep impact this has on the two of them. I found Alex really had the most feelings, even if it seemed invisible or not there. Alex was more of the sister who could feel everything and try to maintain it. Because basically, that’s what you are suppose to do in hard times, smile and put your best foot forward.
Upon their mother’s death the sisters move to live in their home of their grandmother. She was a character I had a million questions about based on first meet. Something seemed off. She struck me as a mysterious person, but with more secrets than the first introduction was giving me. I wanted to know more , but I knew I barely scratched the depth of this book and needed to read on…so I did.
What struck me right away as something was off about the grandmother or the house, (also must note loved the description and fine details of the house the author gave) as Alex was a rare soul where she never had nightmares her entire life! That was until she started sleeping in her grandmother’s home. That struck me as something like a dark storm cloud was looming, but what it was, was yet for me to find out.
Alex talks about her emotions and feeling through out this book. I did not realize it as first, but it to me in my brain, ended up being a high importance as the story continued on. Alex had a gift , but little did she when everything first took part, had no idea it was, as well as myself. Alex is very caring of Zoey, it reminded me of what I do for my little brother keeping him safe. It made Alex a more heart felt character though she already was. Things progress as Alex as well as Zoey get used to their new life. Their home was their new life. They tried hard to fit in with their grandmother as well I dare to say the grandmother’s rather odd boarding mate. Perhaps secrets lie deep within these walls and souls of this house?
Things really take off rather quick from there, strange things happen that a normal reality can not comprehend or explain. I found it mad e Alex feel she was losing her mind from the grief and she was not sure what was a nightmare and what was real. More things come to light, that suspicions of the house and its inhabitants are brought to light. Alex was destined for something far greater than anyone could have prepared her for. Things get scary and odd, and she learns why things happened and happened. Was she ready for all this though? It didn’t matter. It was her time now and she had to go forward and face what comes forth from the path that was always made for her. Trust was to be the hardest thing to be and forever for her though, the people she trusted within were not allies, and enemies were they really the bad ones? The main question is though, can Alex fulfill what she is meant for?
I finished this book in no time. I was hooked and completely engulfed by the characters, the plot, and the secrets and wonders of the book. I simply loved it. It was a great read and full of suspense that made me yearn for more and want to know what would happen next as I read on. I loved the story alone, but Alex as she adventured into things she questioned and things happened all made this story so gripping!
This book was a really a unexpected joy to read. I knew it would be a book i would enjoy to read, but I honestly had no idea how good the writing technique would be and the style and the powers of the authors words would have on me. I honestly can not wait to read the next one. I have a great yearn to find out what will happen next. Seriously read this and find out what night mares are really made of and not just your dreams, your own reality, but also the darkest corners of your mind! Phenomenal read!

I have always been a big fan of murder mystery novels, but this one truly hooked me, seriously. The writing itself was so well done, I have words to simply put how good this novel was to read and basically get lost in. This most defiantly will not be my last by this author, but it is my first. I am so happy I got a hold of this book and lost myself in the story. It was indeed a well worth read for sure!
One of the main characters, Dee, was a strong and someone really commendable. She was also a detective. Quite frankly, I will say she was very good at her job. She knew how to do it and do it well. She was strong in the mind and body and had great intuition as well. As the story starts to take off, there’s a murder case with her partner whom is named Connie. A person named Autumn has been murdered. Ok easy work for our Dee right? With all that said, what happens when she gets a murder case and the main suspect just happens to be her ex she thought she was over, but strength of her own heart speaks other wise?
As well as the whole thing of dealing with Grayson, she had Winston. Someone good for her I felt upon reading. You could tell he cared greatly and was a safe pick. Question of the matter though wash e too safe? Yes, there was a big love triangle and it goes deep into your soul more than I ever thought…I at this point never expected the triangle to go the way it did..to say it went crazy is a understatement, it went down a path I never saw coming. Honestly it made me love this book so much more!
Grayson was a suspect. Dee had trouble coming to terms that he would commit this murder. Herself and her partner Connie, decide to go forth and see what the next prime suspect Johnathan can give them for answers. Johnathan was a character to say the least. He was everything Dee shouldn’t want, but truly did with all of her mind, soul, and most defiantly her mind. He ran sex group, more like group of people having lots of sex. It was extremely unpredicted on my part and very twisted. And this made me dive in deeper to the story and the characters itself.
She was going through a lot. She had a history with her ex whom was a prime suspect. Winston who treated her good and loved her very much. A well as Johnathan who was a dark and twisted in the sense of what he could bring, but yet she wanted him so bad, but could allowing herself to be with Johnathan basically be the end of herself to what she knew? Perhaps what he shows her is so desirable that in every right aspect of her mind, she wanted basically what she knew she should never dare to consider?
I read on, and the story just got better and better. When Connie and Dee finished the case for the strangling of dear Autumn everything made sense in the end. I was a bit off with the sum up of the investigation, but it was what got me to the end of the book with twists as the dark creepy sense with the cult as well as the steamy moments it gave even when the characters did not need to touch each other to scream hot sexiness’.
The author was amazing with their writing skill. They made a story that was different from anything I have read. I loved it with a passion ! Maybe it was a curiosity that I had that wanted more, and when I got a bit of it, I still wanted more. I had such a good experience reading it. I will be reading more by this author and this was a rare treat that I can not recommend enough. Read this and you will have no regrets. Again to say simply, the book was amazing and writing blew be away. Loved it!

I truly believe the author has the way with in this book. As well as that, she teachers her readers wonderful life lessons that truly can be cherished. This book was a book I enjoyed reading to my neighbors kids. The artwork is fantastic. I love the fine details alone of the artwork but as well as the story itself of Jake as his friends. The book itself has life lessons I find, which is really wonderful I think.
Jake loves his adventures down the trail. Sometimes scary things happen though, and he is not sure what it is. He feels afraid, and that is ok, as we all get afraid sometimes .I loved that this book with Jake and as well as his friends, as it shows how much friends can impact your life in a positive way, You are never alone no matter what you face, or feel, you got fiends at your side as Jake did o help you. They face the unknown together and realize that something that seemed scary was actually beautiful in the end. These are the powers facing your fears with your friends, at your side, and well it makes everything less scary in the end.
The book itself is so powerful with its life lessons, and to me that is what makes it a wonderful book. The author, she addresses life lessons as I said helps children to understand common emotions or things they may experience as they go through life and as they grow up. The boo is cute and sweet and is a book all can enjoy. Reading of Jake and his adventures is touching and sweet. Its a book I do very much highly recommend. Its a good book, a good story, and full of happy smiles upon reading.

I was a great fan of the previous novel in the series, so needless to say I was super excited to read this installment. And seriously the first one was amazing, but this one did wonders just as much if not more! I was a die hard Twilight series fan in my teen years, but this one for me is even better of a paranormal teen series. I am getting great enjoyment from the series and watching Lucy grow and progress for her great destiny and learning more truth on who and what she is destined for.
The book takes off with our main characters trying to live life as their suppose to. Lucy and Jude have more a relationship than they used to, and Lucy is learning more about the truth of herself. I enjoyed seeing the father and daughter things with them grow and prosper. Though Lucy does not take his word lightly, and personally I do not blame her. Still, Jude is trying his best to earn his trust. In truth though, is there hidden reasons for why Jude is really needing and wanting his daughter’s love so bad or is there more things underneath myself as the reader am not aware of yet? I felt as reading though, it probably is just a hunch, but Jude may be knowing something he isn’t letting on? I could easily be way off.
And still I stand as Team Marcus. Marcus is a sweetheart, he may not be a ride or die bad boy as Dylan is. I enjoy their fondness for one another. Things take a unsuspected turn to say the least when the father of Marcus appears out out of the blue. Instantly I had trust issues. I was right. He had different goals then we would have thought as well as making sure Lucy is gone from this earth as to reason of her being Jude’s daughter. His name of Garett. And his intentions were not truth as I mentioned, but truly set off a new course of events. Still, I enjoyed bringing him into this series. As I feel his introduction will set off a curve for the next installments in the series.
As things progress things get much harder Lucy. Things she believes in, as well as the words of those she cares about, becomes all too questionable. She had already been going through a lot, she needed her friends close for guidance as well as her protection, but when you cant even be sure of your own instinct of whom is deserving of your trust what is a girl to do?
Things take an expected turn towards a battle with Garett. This was a well written scene and lot of things happened. The light perhaps sort to say was seen at the end of the tunnel, or a realistic point with the battle with Garrett I know for a fact more questions may arise in the next novel, and I truly can not wait to read it. A girl has her Gargoyle and her Demon. With that said, with danger pretty much at every turn and constantly checking your back, are they really enough protect her? Or will they be her downfall?
I loved this book installment with a passion The author, she truly is a marvelous author. I am truly hooked on this series. I can not get my hands on the next book fast enough. Her writing always brings so much to the table. She wrote a wonderful first book in this series, and did wonders with this one. More with the dangers, the story line, what Lucy is destined for, as well new characters through out this novel that you really want to know more about. I also enjoyed reading of the characters of the previous book and seeing their growth a this one started up up until the final page.
Highly recommend this book and this series in general. Its interesting to say the least. It has great action and danger as well as character development which is very well done. All in all, its great series to lose yourself into. Trust me, I am not be part gargoyle, or demon, ( at least I don’t think so) but this book has an aspect for everyone to enjoy who reads it! Highly recommend, you will not be disappointed!

A café, cute cats, and a murder mystery. I think I was in love when I came across this book! I am a person who defiantly supports animals and finding forever homes for them as well and I do love my cozy murder mysteries so of course I had to pick this one up and give it a read. I am so glad I did!
The story is around our wonderful protagonist named Ellie. Whom is a total sweetheart and really loves cats and ensuring the welfares of their health. She runs an amazing café named Kitty Beret Café (Personally I would love to visit this place in real life) where cats free roam while customers enjoy kitty inspired drinks. Everything in the café is cat related and I found truly fun and humorous to read. I must admit reading those words of the names of the drinks made my heart smile more than once.
Everything seems so blissful for Ellie and her fur babies. Well, that is until anyway when an elderly lady who walks in has many complaints about the beautiful cats free roaming. She immediately was a character you strongly dislike. Not long after her scene she made about cursing out poor Ellie, she was found well murdered.
By whom was the true mystery that needed to unfold? Who would have motive and reason to kill her aside from her bashing a café so many people knew and loved. Worst of all Ellie is at risk of losing her café because she seems to have the motive. Ellie wasn’t going to stop for this and she would have to rely on the instinct of her felines to help her! Especially her special one, he was very intelligent and he proved to be a wonderful side character and aided to the case very well. There was more characters introduced and I enjoyed them just as much. The detective (needless to say) was a character fun to imagine and easily could fall for as a reader. One thing was clear someone was out to get Ellie, but why and who? That is the mystery my dear friends and you will have to read to find out!
There was a lot things Ellie and her cats had to figure out. I loved how the author emphasized a lot on the cats The costumes, their habits, I really had fun reading that. It was a cozy mystery right up my alley. How could I not love this book? I also loved how this book kept be going there was quite a possibly list of people who could have murdered the lady who had the outburst. It kept me guessing as I read through and to be honest I was wrong with my guess in the end haha!
This was a delightful read and I truly enjoyed it. I never had read a book by this author, but from my love of this book, I can honestly say for a fact that I will. I am so glad I discovered this book and had a fun heartsome read as I read through. It had treats for the reader, as well as the cats. Highly recommend!

Hartman – Review by Lorrene Huisman
I will say when I heard of this book I did a serious excited squeal. I was and am a huge fan of the first in the series. I am a person who will try any genre, but when I read fantasy or sci fi I am going to my inner roots, yes I am a nerd and geek and I am proud of it. Needless to say these books by this author always go deep in my inner interests of my heart and seriously love this series!
This novel was the second installment of the series the author has written. Needless to say there is no disappointment what so ever to be given to ourselves as the readers! The author wrote an amazing first book and this one only continued the same effects and feelings one can get from reading the prior.
For me what I loved a lot on this book is not just the action and quick pace the story brings you and the strong want to know what will happen to our beloved characters, but I loved the details the author gives us of the multi verse universe the story unfolds upon. As I rea through this one, for me the first one gave life lessons I found and made me think of certain things of the reality of which we live in. This one did the same, doing some things we can not just assume we will not pay a price will we?
The intriguing side of this story that it focused around two teams. One that was put together that had to find a treasure that was this special stone that could very well possibly destroy everything along with life as we know it. A note for me to add is that this team was not hunting on Earth.
Now on Earth, we have another team that was put together. This team on Earth was searching for a special crystal that was in shattered pieces and may be ones hope to save the world from total chaos and destruction. As well as very well being a chance for humanity and Earth to survive as we are now.
As the story progressed of course the teams interact and meet along the way. Honestly when the teams basically interact to me that was the biggest point in the story. I personally hooked in that sheer moment of disbelief and had to continue reading. I could not literally put this book down and once again this author has helped add a novel to my bookshelf of favorite books.
This book in itself was very quick and action packed. It was so easy to comprehend and understand know the characters in who which they were. And who was good and who was more of a bad character sort to say. The author has true kill how to hook his readers and keep them reading as well guessing till the last second of what decisions will bring forth. And what the general morale of the characters bring to impact upon the readers, I personally loved that aspect. The author is talented and writes a story I believe anyone who reads this can enjoy. I m a nerd yes, but I have already told friends of the first novel that are not into sci fi genre and a few got back to me they really enjoyed it. Needless to say I will be doing the same with this installment of the series!
Again loved this book. Loved the writing technique and the detail the author brings to characters. I loved the universe parallels as well. Needless to add, the action packed part of it really kept you on the edge of your couch or seat and to keep reading to see what actions would bring forth next! I am really enjoying reading the books by this author and I will most certainly continue to do so in the future!

This was my first read by this very wonderful author, and most certainly it shall not be my last. This was the 4th novel they had written in the series. I simply loved the two characters the story focused upon. It had a lot of feeling and a lot of emotion along with it. And to me, if you can feel that, you know its a good book!
The story is told through time and time gaps of the friendship and love that was growing and lost and found again between the characters Dahlia and Levi. In their childhood they were basically the best friends that would always be. At least so they thought. They were each others back and even as children they knew the friendship they had would always be needed and special always and forever.
As the story first opened they were two grown adults. Time and something had happened that separated and ruined everything they had or could have had within testing the strength the bonds of friendship and maybe even true love. Personally for Dahlia she is quite happy with life and doesn’t need a curve ball to change the course of how things are going for her, Dahlia is done and over from the years that they no longer spoke and she wants nothing more than to ever hear his name again. Perhaps you cant avoid destiny? They meet again and probably in the most worst way at the time. They have to work together and basically spend a lot of one on one time together.
Yes things were weird for these two very much, but you honestly could feel their feelings for one another leaping off the pages and truly they loved one another even though there was pain and resentment mixed into the pot. I kept asking myself what happened? What made them lose everything they had? Was Levi at fault, as it truly was the way it seemed?
They spend more time together. Let me say the drama and hurt was strong feeling between these two souls, but I must say love can be the strongest thing of all if you let it. The truth comes out with what happened between them, and it was not what I expected. Then, everything made sense and a lot of things come together and into place, and even hearts that were never meant to leave one another’s side.
Things happen quickly to sum up towards the end of the book. I personally saw this as a romantic movie. The main couple solves the problems and drama that kept them apart and both realize what they wanted all along was one another and they pushed one another away out of hurt and drama. And then like a moment that froze still in time and the rest of the world fast forwarded around them, they found what they always knew what they wanted, and never got, and that was the love of one another and being together. And truly this time they both knew no doubts, forever was in their cards, as well as their hearts.
I really enjoyed reading this love story between Dahlia and Levi. It kept me interested in what happened that ruined everything. And even after the truth came out everything made sense and everything came together like a perfect masterpiece. Love isn’t easy. It isn’t for most. Sometimes you have to go through hard times to really show your love is worth it. And that is exactly what these two souls did
I recommend this book truly. I think the story itself was appealing plus I enjoyed reading about Dahlia and Levi’s backstory of times they shared together. The story was very sweet and enjoyable. I had a good experience reading this book and will read more. And I look forward to that! Pick it up and read this book, its one I can honestly say you will enjoy it as much as I did truly.

This was a beautifully well written story that truly captured my own heart and I had trouble letting go as I read through it. It showed me in truth, sometimes we lose the most precious thing we love the most and even if we truly treasure it and squeeze it as tight as we can in our hands…it still can slip through, but if its meant to be it will always find its way back to you. True love is never really gone, it just gets put on the back burner for a while sometimes. Sometimes trusting your heart is the best decision you could ever truly make.
This was a story of love that was, love that was lost, and of love that maybe was truly meant to be all along, but sometimes the irony of a second chance requires a little bit more convincing. The story followed through on Lark, whom was a great artist. I admired her she followed her passion and her dreams and got to live the live she wanted so much and be perfectly happy! Or was she? The art she paints perhaps it hides more pain and loss than she cares to let on? She was living the dream and she felt so happy, but was something inside her heart missing? She was strong willed and had her walls up, but in all honesty she knew very well one person had her heart and always would…and his name was Hunter.
Hunter was a old flame of Lark. He and Lark had a time together, and they I feel both knew it was the rea thing, Sadly, life gives you choices and you have to make decisions on what is thrown at you, and sometimes you have to gain something and lose something. That’s what had happened here. Hunter is now a police chief of the town that gave him the true love you can only hope to read about in books.
Perhaps fate had another chance though, Hunter and Lark are brought back together for the town that lit their flame, for a wedding they both had reasons to attend. Perhaps the town would re light what once was but this time keep it burning forever. Sometimes the best things in life are never easy. They take work, love, and trust, and sometimes it means trusting someone to love you and to have the power to hurt you, but in truth you are trusting them not to. True love is never really gone from the world you reside or your heart, you just have to help it as well as yourself, find a way back to one another.
Beautiful love story and well written. It truly got to my emotions and I loved it. I love small town romance novels and I love a love story that shows you even if you lose one another you can still find your way back to one another, even when it seems literally impossible. Lark and Hunter were two characters I truly felt for. They had a strong ambition in both their hearts, and yet cared for one so deeply, that they would always be there no matter what they faced, because their love was that strong. I loved seeing them re kindle what once was plus growing as a couple and as well as a person in themselves. I t was like a watching a beautiful ballet where you can hope for the best and get more than you ever expected when you get to the end. The story and the bond of the characters, were heart felt and engaging.
I truly enjoyed this book. I truly can say I will be picking up more by this wonderful author. The story was sweet, sensitive, and realistic to me. We all can face better options in life, and take a loss with it, but sometimes you go back to where you first started. Highly recommend you pick up and read this book.

This is literally a book I am going to recommend to everyone. The story was so good, it had a dash of touching moments as well as romantic drama and and inner pain among the characters that you could not help but feel for!
This book literally hooked me from the start. It showed me yes sometimes life can be a jerk especially when all is going perfect, and sometimes too perfect and everything you know and well trust and love comes crashing down on you and you do not know how to figure where to go in the fork in the road, but yet sometimes that decision is the very best one you could possibly make, without even knowing it!
This was exactly what happened to a lead character whom had the preference to go by the name of Charlie. She had the perfect life. A good job. Wonderful fiancé whom loved her so, and their wedding fast approaching. In a blink of an eye all of that and more in her soul as well as her heart was gone. Her wonderful husband to be ended up being a liar in more ways than one and Charlie was left in the end with a broken heart. And having to pick up the pieces onto where to start over again and basically continue on with this thing we call life.
Charlie goes back to her home town, a town she wanted to leave and forget and never think of re visiting. There are some good memories there sure, but as well as some painful ones that would very much possibly mess up her injured heart even more.
In this town contains whom we call Tank. A extremely close friend of her brother who she is very close to. Tank and Charlie were the couple that could have bee, maybe should have been, and never really got a chance to find out if they are meant to be. Tank was his own person. I believe he knew gaining any sort of feelings for his best friends sister was off the table, but does that still make it impossible to avoid? Tank was a man of a good heart, but also had his own issues he has to work through. He had a rough time growing up and had a bad opinion of himself, and basically felt he deserved nothing, but did he ever stop to think of the girl who simply adored him named Charlie? What under her smile did she think?
Charlie and Tank shared more than the lines of friendship than most do. They cared more for one another than the other every realized. They gave one another what ever they needed at times, hope, a shoulder to cry on, support, someone to vent to, and maybe even the greatest gift of all, an ability to repair each others heart and heal it so much they would never need anything else but the embrace of one another. They had a one night stand in the past adventures together. Quite possibly the most passionate and true night of happiness that either of them could ever hope or ever want to experience. Sadly being such close friends they closed that door and never wanted to re open it. Or did they?
As the story progressed on, the characters grew more and more and I got more and more sucked in I loved the character developments. Especially what I saw in Charlie and Tank. They both changed in different ways in strength and their heart. The biggest impact they had on me was when they finally through out everything realized how much they loved one another and basically truly deserved one another. And did not hold back on anything. And basically everything fell into place, it was as if this is what was meant to be, destiny, and this time no one was ever going to take it away.
Again this book was so easy to fall in love with. I will happily read more by this wonderful author. The story had that kind touch as well as that sexy passion I love reading in a good drama love story. I highly recommend this, and I assure you, you are going to be clapping for Tank and Charlie as much as I did, because I think we maybe all can think back of an chance missed or that we didn’t take, what would happen if we had a second chance? Would you really wanna pass it up again?
Loved it truly. It made me sleep easy upon completion. It was a book to end, that made me smile.

I enjoyed this book so much! I love my Rom Com books but this one was different in a good way. It literally had me laughing and shaking my heads with laugher and happiness and at certain points. I loved how the characters were written as well as how they changed as the story went on and you literally were cheering for a happy ending for the main characters despite what ever drama or situations they got themselves into!
Sheldon was a fun character to read about! He was a modern day guy who enjoys one night stands, his parts, women for sure and never having to tie himself down to well anyone. He enjoyed his free style life, but sometimes when you think your living the life you are meant for what happens when you get that moment that hits maybe just once in a life time that leaves you breathless and shows you everything you could be as well as everything you can not live without?
Sheldon faces this head on when he is taking over for a veterinarian named Simone that had all the animal features Sheldon could ever dream of as well as the mind and heart he needed so much, but wasn’t aware to a moment that he very much did! Simone was a strong character that neither wanted one night stands or a relationship.
Could those moments of caring for the animals they helped and provided care for perhaps bring on love to both their lives they had no idea each of them needed so badly?
I truly enjoyed this book and this was a new author for me. I simply fell in love with their writing technique as well as they progressed the story and you got the background of the story which was the animals as well as the love story that was more than just sexiness’ it was full of desire and fun moments and moments where you were cheering and slamming your head down with laugher!
I highly recommend this book and look forward to more work from this talented author in the future!

I was left on the edge of my seat while reading this book, the story line, the passion, the characters, the suspense, the danger, etc. all of it gripped me and wouldn’t let go and instead left me wanting more. Honestly, as I read the story I found there were moments my hopes and dreams crashed, and times new light was cast upon my thoughts, and truly I was not sure in the least how the end would be when I completed this amazing gripping book!
The story was a gripping romance right from the beginning. As I would think a lot of people know when it comes to the Mafia there is many matters of the law and what is unethical as well as you don’t mess with them, as anyone would probably know, you mess with one of them, or someone dear to them, your asking for a death sentence, literally. In the questions of the heart though, there is truly a thin line I believe with love and the right thing to do. Ethically speaking. What would you choose if you were given the choice to have true love knowing it could very well cost you everything, and well anything?
The story is around Theo and Aria. Two souls basically in the cross fire in the feeling of what feels right yet knowing its wrong. they know their differences an basically every reason the book why they can not even consider being together? Can two souls who burn for one another truly be separated and prevented from finding their way to one another? What if the passion burned so much they just did not care what happened or any consequences of just that? What if the thought of the pain of not being together could be very far worse than not feeling one another’s touch or the passion that could be ignited just from being close to one another?
Theo is a cop. A damn good one too. He knows what his lawful duties are and he abides to them. Respectively with a passion for what he does for a living. Come along Aria. She is a daughter that is born into a Mafia, the one Theo is on the hunt to take down. Upon their interactions, they fall hard for one another even though they as hard as they can to not want one another or need one another. Some flames can not be put out. Both of them know the love they share and feel is not to be and forbidden as it basically will not end well, but in truth as long as they try to fight it they succumb to what they want and passion only gets stronger over time,
Personally Theo was an amazing character. He was a Prince Charming sort of character in the form of a cop. He was far from ordinary though. He cared not just with his feelings of his heart, but truly everything he had with in himself. He would risk it all for those he loved. In truth, he would protect those he laid down his loyalty to his very own death. He would protect you at what ever costs, and he honestly was a man of his word. Which in this growing world is hard to come by.
Aria was a loaded pistol, but she had a brain that was so easily to admire.. Yes, she is the eldest in her family for the Mafia, but she was not just going to let that title define how she was going to and how she should live her life. I loved her strength she carried and how she would go after what she wanted and she would not let the world control her no mater how hard she tried. She had the attitude of you live only once, so make sure you live a life you would consider worth living!
Theo’s and Aria’s love was one that was not written in the fairy tale books. It was one that should never be considered. Passion and flames of desire go hand in hand, their love made this book so addictive and so freaking good. I could not put this one down. I was into it when I first started, and as it progressed on I was left with myself biting my nails hoping for a good turn out, but in truth I had no idea how this would turn out as I knew very well as Theo and Aria, the taste of what is not allowed and should never be, is worth every cost and consequence, but in truth you have no idea what will be the end result.
I freaking loved this book! The romance and the suspense was so real and I felt the passion and love between Theo and Aria. I truly did not want this book to end. It took my soul and made me feel literally everything in this amazing book.
The author knew what they were doing and truly made a great story that sucks you in and holds you down the last word on the final page. Again I loved it and I highly recommend reading this, its amazing and I can not stress this enough, you will not be disappointed in the very least. I am very much looking for forward to the next book by this amazing author. I know I would not want to miss out!
To sum it up again, loved it with every passion in my soul, and truly recommend you read this!

This was a fun book to read, I would say it would be more of read towards older kids, but it is a fun adventure of twists and turns I did not expect here and there as well as deep mysteries that in which were truly more than meets the eye!
The story is a adventure around two children. The girl whom has the name of Radhika is a special young girl, but she doesn’t know just how extraordinary she is…she is a book worm so enjoys books and has a good and very wonderful imagination. She has dreams of things that were, as well as people who were. One day a mysterious appearance sets off a course of things to happen as the main question was who could this person be? What do they want? Would her dreams tell her?
More things happen and she realizes she was to be selected for something. She meets with the mysterious stranger from her dreams. And more people actually appear to visit her. She is then told she is selected based on what she can do with her imagination. Among the others, they feel not truly convinced she is up to be what they expect or need from her. More less, could she prove herself to be worthy? When she comes to the realization that she must prove herself to be what is needed there was more mysteries and truth to unfold.
As the story goes on there is more trials and test she must not only use her mind, but also her wit and strength of her heart to get her through the toughest of the times she was to come face to face with. As the story went on that’s where the mastery really began to unfold. Time was not on her side, and to learn the truth came with costs? How far would you go to unravel the mystery of Prestoria?
I really enjoyed the mysteries of the novel and the authors ability to really describe what creatures to land of Prestoria. I had a wonderful adventure and I will for sure be reading what happens next in the series! Thank you for the author for the wonderful novel, and giving a treat for my imaginative mind!

For me, it was nearly impossible not to fall in love with the book as well as the plot and the character it contained! Also the characters all bought a certain appeal, be it wit or sex appeal or basically a sense of humor I was truly hooked! I found this book easy to get into and go right along with the plot. It gave me points to main concepts to the first novel and it made it very easy to follow and comprehend what happened previously to where we are now and what is and was to develop.
The main two characters, Vanessa and Grey, seriously were the perfect combination of everything you would want! as if having a nice cold drink on a weekend day siting on a beach. You could take a sip, but be so intrigued you keep going back. I loved their personalities of both these characters. They both made the book so worth wile. Though, I will say the novel itself and things that happened around these characters and the others made me want to keep on reading seriously.
Vanessa, let me say in small words she was the most freaking fantastic character ever. I was filled on her previous back story, and she truly had a heart worth saving. Literally. She loved deeply, but yet she was and is not someone you want to get on the bad side of! Grey had been learning this the hard way again and again through their time together, but perhaps a man of darkness and who truly believed nothing could ever touch him…was actually doing that in the most least unexpected way?
Grey, he is in charge of the underworld. He had his wit as well we Vanessa but he was the whole attitude of this is my place, you don’t belong, I don’t need you here. Perhaps, though, things happen for a reason and there was more to the destiny for Vanessa and Grey than they both realized.. Besides they strongly disliked each other more than words could describe between the two of them.
Besides the characters and their steamy, well built, leaving you wanting more moments, I loved how the author described the details of the settings so freaking good. For example, The Underworld, the way she described it felt I was right there in the Underworld. With its pain and along and its darkness and corruption of a humans soul. It felt so real. I literally had to pick myself from reading at random times just to be clear I was just super involved in my reading.
What really fascinated me the most truly was the fact that Vanessa met so many shapes and forms of people and they truly were all different. And the relationships that grow between them all. It really was a book worth while to invest in. I was into this book I kept reading and was lost into it. When I reached the ending, I could not believe how good it was getting…let me say that cliff hanger left me hanging and wanting so much more. I truly need to know what will happen to my beloved characters that I truly have bonded with! I with strong anticipation am waiting for the next book to come released!
Again I loved this book with a fiery passion. The author truly has a great talent on how to entrain her readers and keep them wanting more. Even when us as the readers are given a lot, we keep wanting more and will not rest till we do. She wrote a wonderful series and I know she will continue to do so with an amazing plot and characters. She truly knows how to write! I am beyond words with this book. I truly loved it is an understatement. I look forward to the next in the series!

I love cozy romantic stories and this one really delivered! It was as if a delicious cake with all the layers needed to satisfy a craving, but yet left you wanting more! This was my first read by the author and I am completely head over heels with her work! I spent my entire day reading this, no regrets here! It was a great way to fulfill my morning!
I am a past bakery owner so I always love stories that focus around a bakery. Throw in the two main characters Elle and Zane. Both truly different, but can they find common ground? Perhaps there is a attraction between one another but, both are so wrapped up in their own worlds they can not see it?
Elle owns a wonderful bakery that belonged to her mom. Having this bakery truly has a special place in Elle’s heart. You can tell as you get to know her character that keeping it is really everything to her. As Elle has this bakery.. well so does Zane, but he owns a bakery next door. He is on a different financial level in terms of Elle. He’s basically quite rich. And he is the type of guy if he wants something as in obtaining the next door bakery, you can damn well be sure he’s going to make sure he gets it .To put it mildly, Zane knows how to push Elle’s buttons. As stubborn as she is, she is not one to give in. Even if he may have very charming good looks as well as well as is good with his hands (in terms of baking of course) Perhaps zingers of an attraction can make a dessert so heavenly that it can melt the steel walls between these two people? But they are sworn enemies. How possibly can they over come their differences and realize what is front of them is maybe everything they ever needed?
Elle is a strong and determined person. She believes if she charms Zane with her sweet desserts she will have him wrapped around her finer. She believes matters of the heart are always easy to ignore and she can do this. As time goes on they both grow and change in different ways and we the readers learn new things about their characteristics. They both have a different personality that is so likable and lets face it, they both have that cute personality and their methods of how they go about one another has so much adorableness you cant shy away from wanting to read more to see how things go about!
They both did the unthinkable. Yup. They fell crazy in love with one another. Ells is facing some personal things more than meets the eye. Though she failed her original plan she found the one thing she may very well be unable to live without! But will love triumph overall? Is there wedding bells in this future and perhaps even a wedding cake? Or will this all end before it really even had a chance to put frosting on the cake?
I could not put this book down. Zane and Elle kept me reading and wanting more. I swear it was a good tasting cake. Perfect balance of sweetness but, not to sweet where I had to put it down. i was rooting for these two seriously destined to be together humans. Even if at times they didn’t see eye to eye, they were indeed the perfect recipe for one another.
Again really enjoyed this book and did not want to spare a moment till I finished reading it. Very happy I got to read this book and grow along with Elle and Zane!
Highly recommend. I am pretty sure you wont be able to put it down as I was. Most importantly this author did an amazing story and I truly enjoyed and was quite happy reading it! Wonderful read!

Loved it! That is the easiest way to sum up what I thought of this book. This was a first time author for me, and I am so glad I got to start reading their work! This was a first novel in the series, and needless to say I will be defiantly reading the next ones to follow. It had the right amount of mystery, paranormal, and flames of desire to fuel my inner heart as I sip my coffee and hang onto the pages as I turn them.
First off, I picked this book up as its one of my favorite genres-paranormal. Throw in a super sexy vampire whom is a Overlord named Salvatore and yes you have me hooked even more! His descriptions were defiantly fantasy material. But, I what I truly loved about Salvatore was his personality. Don’t get me wrong, he was his own version of fire, and he had that characteristic strong in him. But other than his sex appeal he was a strong character, mind wise I would say. He cared for his people. They were being blamed for other female humans vanishing. He wanted nothing more to solve the mystery and put an end to this. He had a rough exterior but I loved his caring side he did not let out very often.
Salvatore was a lone vampire to say until he met a creature whom not only captures his eyes, but in small words his very soul. Her name was Luciana and she was looking into the case of the women who strangely began to vanish with no reason. I loved her personally. She was strong minded as well, but she was stubborn in the sense of she’s not letting anything stop her. She was a detective working undercover and she was the type of person who would not rest till the case was done and buried with. What I most found intriguing of her, was what she could do with her mind. You will have to read it to see what I am referring to at this point.
Sparks fly when these two meet. There was strong desire, but also strong sense will that giving in would just be a mess of trouble. But can these two truly ignore the flames that ignite around them? The touch that gives that very fire to your soul, can you really ignore what you want so bad? Or is giving in perhaps the worst idea to ever cross your mind knowing there could be consequences?
As the plot thickens, lots of loose ends seemed to be tied together as the mystery unraveled. As well what was instore for Lucianna and Salvatore! This book gave so much to me and I wanted more still. it was just so good and I did not want t put it down. it was as if a ember in my own soul was right there with the characters and I as well was trying to resist the heat that I wanted to consume me.
Loved this book for all it brought, and all it left me wanting more of. the characters were made to be very well done and very easy to get to know as well as distinguish them! The author did an amazing job and I can not truly wait for the next books in the series. They truly know how to captivate their reader and keep them reading those pages to see what happens next!
Again loved this book and truly recommend! You will not be disappointed in any shape or form!
