My rating: 3 of 5 stars

The third book continues the path of Matt, Julia, Thomas, and Dan. They get ready to find the savior of the world, and prepare for a battle that will change the fate of the world as they know it. All of the characters introduced in book one make more sense on how they tie together in the series. I liked this book, it wasn’t too bad. One of these days I think I might sit down and fully delve into it for a while to try and stick all of the pieces together in a re-read. I wonder what this author has in store for his readers as he continues to write.

Savage Secrets (Mafia Elite, book 4) by Amy McKinley – Review by Lucy Machard

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Y’all, she’s done it again.

I don’t know why, but every time I pick up a book by this author, I’m a little tentative. Maybe it’s because its about a different romance each time, but literally every book I’ve ever read by her has BLOWN ME AWAY. This is the fourth book in this series, and I’m still as in love with it as I was when I read book one. I think I’ll have my husband get me the paperback sets for my Christmas or birthday gift this year. This author is phenomenal, and never hits the mark, and is becoming one of my favorites with every book of hers that I read. You NEED to read this book. The enemies to lovers, the fierce love and protection, the passion! Read it! Then read the others! Or read the others first, I don’t care, but read. These. Books. This series can be read as a stand-alone, but it makes more sense if they’re read in order. But please, go read these. You won’t regret it.

The Fire God Tour (Moore Family Saga, #3) by Michele Sims – Review by Lucy Machard

The Fire God Tour (Moore Family Saga, #3)The Fire God Tour by Michele Sims
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

We take a step forward from Cade and Lecia to dive into Miles’ life- his career of following in his father’s footsteps when Mile’s studio hires a new marketing manager; someone completely opposite of what he normally looks for in a woman. While the author’s first two books have a lot of spice in them, this is a nice, slow burn of a romance. It was interesting to see Miles’ all grown up, and to see him find a love like his parents.

My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Following the events of the last book, Miles and Bella are ready to wed in Scotland, and they take their romance with them to Paris. They return to America, trying to juggle life together along with life in the music industry when Bella finds out that she’s pregnant. While I didn’t enjoy this book as much as the previous ones in the series, the author still does a good job of

Act II. Playing with Fire (Moore Family Saga, #2)Act II. Playing with Fire by Michele Sims
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Cade is back on stage in the second book of this series, on tour with his wife and his son. Lecia returns home, and suddenly Miles falls ill, resulting in the unexpected return of Cade to their home in North Carolina. The author did a good job with this sequel. It has a lot of twists and turns, and there’s a big moment that’s hard to see coming. Taking place about 8 years after the first, she does a good job of pulling the audience back into the Moore family story.

Act I: Seed On Fire (Moore Family Saga, #1)Act I: Seed On Fire by Michele Sims
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This book was the first book I’ve read from this author, and it wasn’t bad. It was pretty good, and started to delve into the story of newly-weds Kaiden and Lecia, as they find out that Lecia is pregnant from the honeymoon. Through the stress of their careers, and of the tragedy around them, they struggle to find ways to hold on to each other. In the end, their family is happy, and everything is as it should be.

My rating: 3 of 5 stars

The latest installment of the Moore Family Saga has us watch as Miles and Bella juggle life with their children. While the plot seems a bit slower, towards the end they are struck with an unexpected loss. The author has an articulate way of showing how people heal, which is one of the things I like about her writing. I wonder what she has in store for the rest of the series!

Imperfectly Yours (Titans of Manhattan #2)Imperfectly Yours by Anise Storm
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Okay.

When I started this book, I was like “Alright, I read the first one, I know what this author can do, so let’s bring on the drama.”

First half goes by and I’m seeing the beginnings of a marriage (which is ironic considering that I also just got married), and the start of these two characters lives together. And at first, it seems a little slow, a little too white-picket-fence, too perfect-

And then tragedy strikes. And again, and again. And then healing.

Do not, I repeat, do not read this book if you’re listening to mildly sad music, because y’all, it WILL make you cry. Actually, this book will make you cry regardless. I don’t think I’ve ever related to a character so much. The struggles Elsa is faced with in this story are struggles I’m terrified I’m going to have, or struggles I already have had. And watching Anton just love her through it all, this author does such an amazing job with her books. I can’t wait to see where the next one leads. Wait out the beginning guys, the end is worth it. I can’t wait for a physical release, this book deserves a spot on my bookshelf (As does the first).

States of Grace (Grace Locke Mystery Series) by Mandy Miller – Review by Lucy Machard

States of GraceStates of Grace by Mandy Miller
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This thriller is one of the slower-paced books I’ve read, with the plot slowly unfurling the more you read. The further you delve into the story of Grace Locke and her case as she fights for her client’s innocence, the more twists and turns, and the more the author pulls you in. While at the beginning it was a little harder for me to get as invested, but the more I read, the harder I found to put it down. I’m excited to follow the stories of Grace Locke as this author continues with this series!
