My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book gave me so much emptions, it was truly impossible not to fall in love with the characters and the story line. I loved every moment of reading, it was beautiful and striking as a read at the same time!

I loved the way the author did their writing. It was a easy flow, and it was very easy to be swept away into the story. Margaret was such a commendable character. She had endured so much, and in truth, wanted so little in return. I felt myself go though the changes of life and within her , beside her. She was wonderful and I really felt for her. The surrounding characters added nicely as well. The story really pulled at your heart strings at times, but all in all, the story showed what we go through to achieve the life we want. I loved this book with all my heart and soul, very happy I got to read and enjoy this!

To say the least, this is a must read novel! I was very much swept away with emotions as I read through, and I really felt everything possible as I read. This is a must read for sure, highly recommend!

Exit Strategy (Nite Fire #5)Exit Strategy by C.L. Schneider
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I have been a fan of this series since book one, and this installment is no different! I found the suspense and the action multiplied highly in this one! Delia is a wonderful character, I really felt this one she had to fight for what she holds dear as well as her inner darkness, ended up really loving her more!

Delia has always been a character that I have been strongly drawn to. She is tough, but yet cares dearly about those around her. I found you really got to feel her more in this book. I know this is the end of an amazing series, though it saddens me, it is bitter sweet. I loved how things with Delia and her well. inner demon became the matter of the hour. A lot was at stake in this book, and it was up to our Delia to stop it as well as control it. I wasn’t sure what to expect as I was creeping up on the end! I loved the action and the suspense in this one! Could not put this one down at all! Simply loved the series finale!

Such an amazing series, and I know all good things must come to an end. I did not want this one to though. I wanted to cont8nue with Delia and her adventures! Amazing series that I truly highly recommend if you have not already had the pleasure of doing so! Not one to be passed up! A must read!

Manipulator’s War (Ruarnon Trilogy Book 1) by Elise Carlson – Review by Lorrene Huisman

Manipulator's War (Ruarnon Trilogy, #1)Manipulator’s War by Elise Carlson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book was beyond epic! I was captivated by the story, and the characters that it had possessed. I loved the action, and the whole good vs evil concept as well. There was defiantly some strong character growth as well. I loved the characters and really felt a connection to them, and I will be for sure reading the next installments in the series! I am very much looking forward to it!
The whole story itself was captivating. Throw in the strong-willed characters that the book contained, and you truly have a masterpiece! I was astounded in moments as I read, for there was moments where I was not sure what to expect or a clear resolution how to get out of a situation. Linh was a character impossible not to love. She was a great lead to the story, and I loved her heart of never wanting to give up. To have a good leader, you need an enemy as well. This book had that and so much more! The book was a thrilling rollercoaster, and a adventure I am glad to say I took part on! Loved this book!
If you’re seeking an adventure that defies the normal genre of an adventure, then look no further! This book had its own level of awesomeness, and it was a must read! Truly do highly recommend reading!

I loved this book so much with all my heart! It was so sweet from start to finish. The characters were realistic and full of their own sweet charm. The story flowed ever so nicely, and I loved how the story started, how it developed, and most certainly how it ended! Was a great read, and the author did a wonderful job!

Loved the story and the characters that it contained. I fell in love so very easy with the characters and the the development within themselves they went through. Angelina an Blade were wonderful. First loves, and a chance that was lost is never easy to over come. Sometimes destiny has other plans for you though and defiantly when you at least expect it! I loved how things did not just go back to normal at first with these two, they had to turn over a lot of stones, and they worked through a lot. The book had its sweet charm and its good dose of steamy moments as well! Loved the writing and loved the book!

Wonderful read, and most defiantly a gifted author to create such a wonderful story and bring it to life! I really enjoyed it! I for sure highly recommend this book No doubt, its a must read! Don’t miss out on it!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book was truly amazing from start to finish. I love the suspense, the characters, and the story line the author had brought to life. It was amazing, and the writing was freaking fantastic!

Lila and Elizabeth were a great team for sure. Both had their connections to serial killer. I loved how the mystery behind everything built itself more and more as I read. I constantly was left on the edge of my seat, and breathless wanting to know what would happen next. The story was captivating, and when loose ends got tied, they really held together. I also loved the character development. The ending I would say will stay with me. I loved this book, it was a crime mystery novel that I could not help, but love!

Amazing read, prepare to spend your day reading, as you will not be able to put it down! I loved the author’s writing skills that really brought this story and the characters to life!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This was a story that was well worth a read! I do love vampire stories, and I love ones that come from authors that create a world that is beyond my imagination. That is exactly what this author created and did. I was mesmerized and blown away through out my reading, freaking amazing good read!

Vampires and humans are thrown together really in a epic finale in this book. I honestly did not expect so many twists and turns that I was shown and experienced. It was a remarkable book, and a lot happens, some good, and some bad, and well I need not say more. I was on the edge of my seat through out my reading, I will say some parts I was caught off guard, the ending is for sure something that shocked me and I honestly did not see coming. Which made this book more of what it was, and was fantastic in that sense! I really loved how a action could define something through out this book, it was such a good read and I highly enjoyed it. I am very glad I got to enjoy this book for all it was! I truly loved the writing!

This is for sure a must read author, must read series, and must read book! I can not get enough out of this experience. I loved it so much! Highly recommend this book! A must read for sure!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is as usual, an amazing author whom is very gifted in all they create and write. This book and the characters it contained were no different. I fell in love with the characters and the story quickly!

I love a good romance book, but this book had the good amount of sexiness’ and steam that was something my mind truly craves. The characters that brought on those appeals were amazing. They were real, and connectable in the sense they really gave off the realistic vibes. They were written characters that were real as they can get. Reading about Gage, Juliet and Ten really made my mind spin in a good way. There was a lot of anticipation and desire to learn more. I really enjoyed this book! Loved it!

Wonderful, fun, and steamy read. I could not get enough truly. This is for sure a must read and a high recommendation from me I could not get enough! I defiantly say to give it a read! Don’t miss out!

Spring’s Calling (Seasons of Magic Book 1) by Sarah Biglow – Review by Lorrene Huisman

Spring's Calling (Seasons of Magic, #1)Spring’s Calling by Sarah Biglow
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This story and start to a new series was amazing from start to finish. I could not get enough! I loved the main character Ezri . She was inspirational in her own way, and tough as nails. With her own version of feistiness. She had and has a lot going on yet, stayed true to all she believed in!

Story was very engaging. It was very easy to lose track of time while reading. I loved the paranormal version, also loved Ezri being a detective and a witch. I enjoyed reading to find out how she came to be, and the stuff that happened to her that she wanted to get justice for. It was great character development through out the entire reading. Leading up to the ending I was on the edge of my sea wanting more! The author wrote a great story and certainly knew how to keep the reader interested! Loved it truly!

Wonderful book and for sure a must read author. I can not wait to read the next installment in the series. I highly recommend this must read book. Defiantly not a book or a book of characters to miss out on!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I have been a long time fan favorite of this author, the author always crafts amazing stories and characters that are enjoyable, and are real as they come! This book was no different!

Zenni or Colton were both captivating characters. I found they had their differences, at times I actually was rooting for one or the other for different reasons. I kind of expected myself to take Zenni’s side the whole reading duration, but I found I was torn between the views of both at different times. I found that was a surprise in my reading, but a welcome one. It was not persuading me to be just one sided. Other than that i LOVED their chemistry. It was something that was full of fire works, but held a lot of sweetness to get to those fire works. Really loved the appeal. Wonderful read! Loved it!

Amazing read full of that mind blowing passion we love to read about! Love this author and I do highly recommend them if you have not enjoyed their works yet. This book is a must read, highly recommend!

A Tormented Man's Soul (Grimm Wolves MC Book #5)A Tormented Man’s Soul by D.M. Earl
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I have been reading this series since book number 1, and each time I am hooked and amazed by the amazing writing. The author is very good at what they do, and craft a engaging story that gives you a lot of feels and emotions, and most certainly, this was a book I could not put down. Very compelling!

This one follows the lines of the other books in the series. This time around, Chains and his story is finally told. I have patiently waited for his story for quite some time. I knew had a a lot of layers that must have been caused by past stuff, but I never imagined it would go as deep as this story allowed it to go! The past truly haunts him, but the 2 souls that care abut him help him even in his darkest times and darkest hours. It was really beautiful in truth to read that. I enjoyed reading and learning of Chains and all he had to undergo. It really made me feel for him. I defiantly sensed as well as felt the strong character development. This book alone was a must read. Defiantly worth picking up and giving it a read!

Amazing series, and this installment was a freaking wow factor type of read. Highly recommend this series if you have not read the prior books. This book alone was amazing and full of spirit and emotion. Not one to be passed up by any means. Highly recommend this must read book/series!

Sashimi (Evil Sushi #2)Sashimi by C.A. King
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I loved the first book in the series, and this one certainly had the same effect and appeal on me as the first in the series did! This one I think I may have actually enjoyed it a bit more in truth! This one had just as convincing depth to the story, and a world that is in chaos, and not sure when the end is in sight!

The story continues from the cause and effect of the first one. The strong suspense, and thrill continues in this one as well. I was completely captivated even more with the events that were happening as well as the strong character development that greatly added nicely to the surrounding story. This story is very fast pace and certainly not dull in any form. I loved this series and this installment. I am curious where this could go next, this is a series, as well as book not to be passed up by any means!

I love this author for all the characters and worlds they create. This series quickly became a favorite of mine. And this book alone truly captivated me! Highly recommend tp read this series if you have not had the pleasure yet, and this author too! High recommendation from me as its a must read!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I have been a long time fan of this amazing author, but I have not yet had the chance to read this one. Needless to say I devoured it! It was so good from start to finish, I could not get enough. The world and the characters as well as what was going on, it was a bit crazy but awesome!

A find leads to a change. What would that change bring though? I was involved very much in this book as well with all the characters. This “find” leads to a lot of things, and things get a bit out of this world sort to say, I was on the edge of my seat wanting t o know what would end up happening next! I was hooked, and the story certainly never slowed down and highly kept my interest. I loved the ending how it was left open for part 2. So needless to say, i am looking forward to reading the next installment!

Amazing writing and book. It was different in many ways than I could have ever imagined! I was surely not disappointed! Highly recommend this book and this author! Prepare for sleepless nights!

Melodie Boxset (Melodie #1-2)Melodie Boxset by Laura Rossi
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This was a story that had a lot of heart, was sweet to read, and had those moments that really helped you to connect to the characters and truly bond with them! I fell in love with this author and their writing and how the story developed and came together! Was a wonderful read!

I loved this box set especially, as it was a fun and amazing read, nothing was predictable and I found that really things came together by fate and very much unexpectedly! How Melodie and her match, Isaac find their way into one another’s arms was cute, sweet, and not the way I expected it to go! I fell in love with the two of them. Then you read about their wedding, and the writing flowed just as nice as the first novel. Sweetness was present, and a bunch of smiles loomed over my face as I read. Loved the parents in that one, they certainly added nicely to the story. I enjoyed this story and box set very much, I could not put this one down, it was enlightening and charming all together! A must read for sure!

Wonderful and loveable story. It was uplifting as it was sweet. I highly recommend this author for sure, I have been reading their books for some tome. This boxset is a must read, and I highly recommend it!

Saving Marvel (Satan’s Devils MC Second Generation #4) by Manda Mellett – Review by Lorrene Huisman

Saving Marvel (Satan's Devils MC Second Generation Book 4)Saving Marvel by Manda Mellett
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I have been a long time fan of this author. I am not surprised by how amazing this book was written, as well as the strong character development. I love how this author always writes their characters with layers, layers that unravel and the story goes on. As always the story was amazing as could be!

Marvel has always had a more vindictive personality I would say. For reasons how he acted at times, were unknown to me in truth. Reading this story I learned more of him and what happened to him the past. It would have devastated myself as well and I would say he feels the way he does, because of his scars and pain. And to me that was real character depth and made the story what it was. I also loved Marvel’s interactions with Virginia. They both were different but the depths of their scars were not so much. I found the moments they shared were deep and powerful. With anything this amazing author writes, i am captivated and sucked in deep, the writing, the characters, the words, the story, and really everything plays a crucial part! I loved this book and reading about Marvel’s story. A must read for sure!

Love everything this author creates. Really connected with this one, reading of what made Marvel who he is. This is a must read book, a must read author, and for sure a must read series! Highly recommend!

Deacon (Saints vs Sinners Series Book 1)Deacon by CJ Warrant
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This was a great read, from start to finish, I could not get enough of this one, there were moments where I felt myself swooning, and those were I was left in shock that could chill my bones. The author crafted a wonderful read that kept the reader engaged and wanting more with every turning of the page.

With this read, it stated the obvious to me. Second chances do come to people, but sometimes that second chance is darker than the first chance was. I found that part of the story very realistic. Deacon and Olivia were wonderful characters and I loved how they were written. Fate by chance brings them back together for a meet, but is the past really dead? And will the demons of their past that destroyed what they had engulf them again? This read had its darkness and as well as its light. I could not get enough. I was hooked, entranced, and in love the entire time! Great read!

Amazing freaking read. I would expect nothing less from this wonderful author. I always love their books with a passion. I highly recommend this book, its a great read and one that you will be surely hooked on!

I am no stranger to this gifted author, when ever I pick up anything by them that they have written, I am immersed and hooked on the engaging story they create! This book was no different!

In life, we all want to prove or selves one point or another don’t we? What if what we had to prove, meant putting anyone who pitted against you to the test? Romance and seasons go hand in hand, is love as easy as some thing, or does it bring on more hardships than we care to admit? These were things I asked myself as I read. I loved the story, and it is the 1st in a 4 part series, and I was hooked from the character introductions. There was good character development, and certainly kept me on my toes wondering what would happen next. Really good read and I for sure very much enjoyed this one!

Highly recommend this book with no questions to be asked! It is a must read for sure, and not one to be passed up. I am looking forward to reading the next installments in the series! Loved it!!!

Keeping Secrets- Prospect (Grimm Wolves MC #4)Keeping Secrets- Prospect by D.M. Earl
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I have been fan of this series, since book 1. I am constantly enticed and swopped into the engaging story and learning about the characters in each book. I love how the series brings such heart felt feelings, and a true depth of the characters. The author is amazing at their writing skills. A must read adventure!

From my experience in the past novels, trust, honor, and commitment seem to go hand in hand with the DC wolves. if that is broken though, what comes of the family? I loved Iron and Joy. And their little one was sweet as pie too! I loved how even when everything seemed against them, and things surfaced and more things seemed to go down the drain, they worked and stuck together. I found that admirable. I found this book specifically was high on the hearts of emotions. I felt a lot, there were moments I did tear up. Yet, was rooting for Iron’s family the whole time. This is for sure my favorite in the series so far. I am able to say that because the emotions I felt were real, and I really connected with the characters.

If you have not had the pleasure of reading the prior books in the series, seriously do so. They are treats you do not want to miss, as well as you get a better understanding for who and wat the DC wolves are. I loved this one so much. Highly recommend this must read book! Not one to be missed out on!

Beelzebub The Gift of Gluttony (Sinful Seven, #2)Beelzebub The Gift of Gluttony by J.C. Brown
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book was amazing. Even I feel that is an understatement. There was so much character growth and things hidden beneath the surface of this book and the author’s writing was enticed, shocked, and sucked in completely, body and soul! I could not get enough in any shape or form

What I loved most was reading and learning on who and what Beelzebub is. He was a demon yes but alone with his power this was much more to him. Learning of the other’s like him was very intriguing as well. Personally I loved Clara. I identify as a empath myself so it was nice having a character to read on that I could relate to on a personal level. The story takes off quick, and the darkness of Beelzebub really came to light. I was enticed all the way through. I had trouble setting this one down. it was so good. The writing and story line was beyond amazing. I cant wait to read about the other powerful demons!

Freaking good read that I very much enjoyed! I highly do recommend this book, it was a quick read for me, and I was amazed and mesmerized as I read through. Cant wait to read more by this author!

Forbidden Love - Book 1 of The Forbidden DuetForbidden Love – Book 1 of The Forbidden Duet by K.M. Lowe
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Loved this book! It was thrilling and captivating from start to finish! I loved how things seemed more less normal at first glance, but once the suspense kicked in, it was a roller coaster. I loved how things did not seem always as they appeared at the first look! Wonderful writing! Really good book!

There was a lot going on. Sacrifice for a debit was a big thing. I really admired the bravery in Kally. She had to sacrifice her self for her family. Throwing away the love she held so dear. I know for a fact that would have not been easy for anyone. The story was gripping as I said. Needless to say I hated the evilness in Clark, to say he was a cruel and horrible person is a understatement. I loved the dark times that followed years into their well arranged marriage. Things got heavy and dark. And I got more sucked into this book. There was a lot of things that kept me on my seat\s edge. The writing was fantastic. The author knew exactly how to keep the reader enticed! Can not wait to read book 2!

Gripping and amazing writing. This is a must read for sure! I highly do recommend. This is book that is very hard to step away from for even a minute! It truly enticed and captivated me! Loved it!

The Last Cabin GirlThe Last Cabin Girl by Tom Swyers
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I found the cover of this novel, intriguing, and I was drawn to it at first glance. I was not aware how enticing the contents of the book would turn out to be! I was lost in it, hooked by the characters and the events that occurred, the writing was amazing, and the suspense really was the best it could be.

Josie was a great character, I loved how real she was. And I loved the use of the pandemic in the story line as well. I found there were characters I loved, and ones that gave me that kind of bad energy feeling! The characters really made the book. The things Josie had to go through and uncover was unreal! I loved her personality and her strength of her character and her mind. There was a lot of suspense and not knowing what one thing would leave to another. I loved this book, it is a must read!

Wonderful work by an amazing author. If you want to read a book that will keep you hooked up to the spell binding ending, then this is the book for you! High recommendation from me, and a must read!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I seriously can never get enough from this author or this series in general! Each book they have written I am Truly captivated and hooked. Each book in this series brings secrets and darkness of the character’s own to light, and I am hooked and mesmerized! It takes a skilled author to truly to achieve that again and again!

I love how each one of these books in the series that brings on two characters that are placed together due to unforeseen circumstances. I loved Luc and Summer so freaking much. They had that chemistry that you only dream about. Their ties together seemed like it was just random, but behind every thing that happens with this Mafia in Chicago, there are secrets or skeletons in the closet that always come to light…whether you like it or not. Summer quickly became a fan favorite for me. her intuition was always spot on, and how she saw the world compared to the females in other books was different and enlightening. I learned so much from the way she sees. The moments she and Luc spent together were amazing, the suspense was to die for as well. I freaking loved this one! Loved it so freaking much!

If you have not had the pleasure of reading this amazing author, I must say read books by them as of right this moment! If you have not read other books in this Mafia series, it is best to read from the 1st one to truly understand and get wrapped up in the affairs of the Mafia. This book alone is a must read, it was perfect in every which way, and I highly do recommend it! It is a must read! I am dead serious about that!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I am a big time nerd, and I do cosplay as well so of course this book spoke to me in that particulat sense. I started reading and I felt I had fan girls eyes as I read. The story was amazing, it was real as it could get, and seeing Vic and Layla, really showed how stars could align!

I personally loved Layla as a character. I really never felt so connected to a character as I did to her. She may have had same interests as me, but like myself, less than perfect. That what made her so connectable. What I enjoyed with her and Vic, it wasn’t star crossed love and was easy from day one. No. There was a lot of issues and occurrences that gave them a million reasons not try out their relationship. I found as I read, things came more clearer on their end, who they are, and who they wanted to be. There was a lot of emotions associated as well It was a really good read, I really loved this one truly!

Wonderful story, and I shall be sure reading more by this wonderful author. I loved the story and it had something fore everyone. I truly highly recommend giving this a read, it is not one to be missed!

Nite Fire: Slash & Burn (Book 4) by C.L. Schneider – Review by Lorrene Huisman

Slash & Burn (Nite Fire, #4)Slash & Burn by C.L. Schneider
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I have been following Dahlia and her adventures, to uncover things as well as her secrets since book One. I can never get enough. She is a wonderfully written characters, and the way she presents herself is a force you do not seriously want to mess with. I love the series and how it captivates me! Love it!

I found this installment really brought on the action. Dahlia has been through a lot by this point in the series. And the whole thing of her life getting easier, is very far from within reach. I found she figured some things out here and there, but as she did more confusion and questions arose from the ground. I love the suspense and how the author creates a book and series with non stop action, that keeps me on my toes, as well as constantly guessing what may happen next. Honestly when I was reaching towards the ending, when things came to light, I was blown away literally! Freaking love this series!

Seriously this is such an amazing series. If you have not read the prior installments, you really should, it is a series that is well worth the read. The author is very gifted and talented at the writing they do and the stories they create. High recommendation for the book installment, series, and author! Must read!

Santa… Nope the Grimm Wolves (Grimm Wolves MC Book 3) by D.M. Earl – Review by Lorrene Huisman

Santa...Nope the Grimm Wolves (Grimm Wolves MC #3)Santa…Nope the Grimm Wolves by D.M. Earl
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I have been reading this series, and I love it so much. I love reading about the characters and their ties with bikers, and what happens if something goes wrong. I love how the books talk big on the stance of family, and if your part of the family off bikers, your one for life. The writing is unforgettable!

This one was especially well done. I really loved and felt for Beast. Imagine living your daily life, and something you thought was gone away, well makes an appearance? And shakes up everything about the life you knew. Beast really loved his family and you could tell he would go to the ends of the Earth for them. I loved his character and the surrounding characters that impacted the story as well. The story had a lot of suspense and moments where I was not sure what was going to happen. I was unable to put this installment in the series down! It was that good! Love this book and series! So freaking good!

This series is amazing, and this book instalment is just as good as the others. The author is really good at pulling you in, and holding you there till the last moment. If you had not have had the pleasure of checking other books in series, you surely must! Highly recommend this book and of course the series!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I could not get enough of this book and this amazing author. This was such a beautiful read, it had a lot of heart, a lot of emotion and a lot of tugging on one’s heart strings. Beautiful read.

This book really stayed close to my heart all the way through. I was touched and swept into my own emotions as I read. I enjoyed the character development for sure. There was a lot of growth in these wonderful characters. It really showed you may think you have it all with money, but when it comes to Love, well that type of thing you can not put a price tag on it. The build up of the story between Evelyn and Colt. There were moments I was supportive of Colt and at times wanted to ring his neck for what his actions did and caused to Evelyn. All in all, this book was amazing and gave a lot. Loved it!

I think this book is a wonderful start to a new series, which I shall be looking forward to more coming out. The writing was amazing,. I highly recommend reading this book, it is a must read for sure!

This was a cute and cheerful children’s book. I think it is geared very well to children with things that will keep them interested with beautiful photos, and pictures that really make the wonder in their mind work! I loved the science and use of science through out this book, I found for me as an adult, it had a high engagement for me, and for sure, it would for kids too! Wonderfully written! Wonderful read!

Reunion in the Outback (Welcome to Bunya Junction Book 4) by Nicole Flockton – Review by Lorrene Huisman

Reunion in the Outback (Welcome to Bunya Junction, #4)Reunion in the Outback by Nicole Flockton
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I have been loving this series since the first book. I fall in love with the author’s writing and the characters that I meet along the way every single time. I must say this one was among the best that I have read. I loved the storyline of this one, the talk of second chances, and fighting for what you want. It was beautiful!

This was an empowering read. Sometimes in life stuff will happen and you lose sight of what is important. That does not mean it is gone forever. Sometimes you have to help it find its way back to you. And sometimes that road traveled is the less easy one. I truly loved the story of Michael and Yolanda. There was a lot of moments that were sweet, and some that put on the emotion. I loved reading and watching them grow as characters as well with one another. It was such a beautiful read! Loved it!

If you have not checked out this gifted author or other books in this series, I highly say that you do. This is not one to be passed up by any means. And this book alone is a must read! Highly reccomend!
