This was my first mafia book so I don’t know what to expect but I can honestly say, I plan to read the rest in the series for sure! It took me a bit to get into it and understand the families and characters but after a couple chapters, I was sucked in! I have to say, it was better than I expected! So much angst in the beginning but it quickly turned into chemistry and passion between Luc and Summer!

Layla Bennett dreams of being a comic book artist. She has the chance to meet her favorite comic book artist Vic Williams at a convention but the meeting doesn’t go well when she becomes speechless.
Things take an unexpected turn when Vic and Layla connect online and soon get into a long distance relationship.
I really enjoyed this novel even more so with an African American protagonist. Not something I see a lot when it comes to stories like these.
I loved Layla and her ability to make costumes for Cosplay. It is amazing the things people are able to make.
The first few chapters were a little hard to get through because it took me a second to realize what was going on and the lore was a little confusing, but once I got past that the book was really good. The action scenes were well written and the characters were awesome and I enjoyed the book. I can’t wait to see what he puts out next!

Although this is book 2 in the series, it is a standalone. This was a brilliant light hearted romance. Sophie has followed her best friend and moved to New Orleans. Now that she knows about the supernatural, she wants to fulfill her dream of being recognised as a witch; after all she has her late grandmother’s grimoire, so she must be a witch. Getting bitten by a werewolf and being accused of cursing the werewolf pack was not in her plans. Trace just wants to find his best friend and he thinks he knows just the witch responsible, only he hadn’t counted on biting and being so attracted to her.Together they try and solve the mystery of the missing wolf. I loved the interactions of all these characters, the lighthearted humour just made it so much more entertaining. I listened to this book on audio and the narration from Hollie Jackson is top class and she brings such a warmth to the characters that you can’t help love them. I would definitelyl isten to other books narrated by Hollie.

I loved this historical romance that kept me turning the pages so that I read it one go. This novel is set in 1800s Vienna and inspired by Richard Strauss’s opera, Arabella, which I absolutely loved, having begun to enjoy opera during the past year of lockdown. The writing is gorgeous and the plot is extremely fast-paced, which kept me on the edge of my seat until the very end. It reminded me a little of the first Bridgerton novel, only this novel was much more interesting and better written. I’d read any book by the author Annette Nauraine.

Kissing the Cavalier by Annette Nauraine is a wonderful historical romance that is based on the opera, “Arabella”, by Richard Strauss. It is set in Austria in 1867- which is beautifully brought to life by the author. All the lush historical and cultural details and the rich textures woven through the story pulled me in and made me feel like I was right there, experiencing everything right alongside the characters. A story of finding love unexpectedly. Looking forward to seeing what Annette Nauraine does next.

Forged by Secrets (Deadly Isles Special Ops Book 3) by Amy McKinley
I have a serious crush on all three of the Hale Brothers, but I think Tyler has been my favorite from the beginning. After reading this book it solidified Tyler as number one.
Malina has so much from her past that I never would have expected. She has lots of secrets from her past that nobody knows, even her childhood best friend.
Tyler is the ultimate protector and he proves it. He is a Navy SEAL who will protect his Country and those important to him.
There are so many things to say, but not sure where to start and don’t want risk giving anything away.
If you haven’t read anything by her I highly recommend anything she has written. I have read several of her books and there is a connection between this series and the Grey Ghost series but can be read as a standalone.

From Cornish pit mines to Jorvik back alleys, from the Mercian Court to beyond the North Sea, the Agneson clan continues their adventures across Midgard and the 9 realms: Scheming aldermen, duplicitous monks, slave drivers, dark elves, trolls, ghosts, shapeshifting witches, the legendary Norse Wild Hunt, and… a dragon!
With the fall of the Danish army at the battle of Ethandun, historical events scatter the Agneson family: Cub is enslaved in the Devonshire tin mines while Sorven stalks retribution in Jorvik; Kara is unwillingly propelled toward a convenient Saxon marriage while Karl and his crew are castaway on a mythic floating island. Separated and marooned, each is forced to tackle their challenges alone while the forerunner Thorfinn faces supernatural revenge, a battle to lift a Jarl’s curse and the release of his Jotenhiem wyrm in Midgard!
Can Cub escape his overseers in the tin pits of Devon? Can Kara evade her Saxon uncle’s plans for her marriage? Will Sorven succeed in his bloody revenge? Can Finn save a Jarl’s daughter and break a mysterious curse? Can the forerunner find and help his scattered family overcome their trials?
And what can Finn do with… a pet dragon?!?
Based on actual historical events and authentic legends, this epic fantasy follows the paths of the sons and daughters of Agne, Son of Ironfist in the Viking Era circa the year 880. Don’t miss this grand panoramic tale!

Katt powers has a way of taking you to a place you would never even imagine with the vivid descriptions and worthy telling the story kept me gripped the entire time. When I first started to read this book I thought hmm ok lets give it a try. So when I started reading I started picturing everything she was saying and got totally lost in this book world. I was up until three in the morning reading this book and could not put it down. This is a book that I definitely can’t wait for the second one to be done thank you for such an amazing book.

Just simply, WOW! The more and more that I delve into this series, the more that I love it! Twisted Throttle is the third book in the Satan’s Devils MC Second Generation series by Manda Mellett. I was a bit surprised with Noah aka Throttle, who happens to be Peg and Darcy’s son. Throttle is now the Enforcer of the mother chapter of Satan’s Devils in Tucson. It’s so cool to see these men all grown up now! In this book, Throttle seems to have a stalker. As soon as he gains on this stalker, a curve ball smacks him right in the face. Her name is Gwen. Just like so many of the other brothers in the series, Throttle is not ready for a permanent “Old Lady.” So what do you think happens between the two of them? I love these two and can’t wait to see where they go in future books. There are so many twists and turns. The reason I love this series and this author is the fact that you really never know what will happen. There are so many twists and turns that there is just no way you can predict the outcome of ANYTHING! It’s simply brilliant. There are never the same twists from book to book. Every book is a new adventure! Just like all the other series, I recommend you read it from the beginning but you can definitely read this one on its own. I love this series and cannot wait to read the next book!

I really enjoyed this book. This isn’t my first book by this author and it won’t be the last. I was pulled in from page one and the story was really engaging and kept my interest throughout all of the story. Mason and Delilah were great main characters and they had alot to over come on their journey. I am looking forward to reading more by this author in the future. And I would recommend this to a friend! Happy Reading!

A “City of Whispers (Imperial Assassin Book 1),” by Katt Powers, is a stunning cultural, dark, female empowerment fantasy novel you’ve been waiting for. If you like Throne of Glass or Nevernight this is your next book! Wrongly accused Dhani Karim, must do whatever it takes to clear her name; even if that included working with a partner let alone a partner whose is her supervisor mutually, they hate each other. Her new unwanted partner Gorshayik, a powerhouse of a man with his secrets and dark history. Given an impossible task we journey through this case this is anything but close to being closed. Stuck in civilian ways to solve this mystery, Dhani must use every tool and training she has to complete this mission. Starting this journey with Dhani you can help but wonder where her story is going next. This book is so action packed it was addicting, I highly recommend this book for any interested in magical realms filled with action pack twists and turns that will keep you reading well past your bedtime.

I loved this book. I was laughing the entire time it was being read to me. Audiobooks are great because you can multitask while they are being read to you. “Shift Happens” was so good, I would rewind it just to be sure I didn’t miss anything! It kept me smiling and upbeat the entire time. Also, the narrator of this book makes the characters come to life with her accents and change in tone when reading quotes. I listened to the first book in the “New Orleans Nocturnes” series, and when I saw the second one available, I was so excited to listen to it! This author writes in such a modern tone that it makes me feel like I’m living it. I look forward to reading and listening to more books by Carrie Pulkinen.

I have read all of Manda Mellett’s books in her MC stories. With each book I find myself reading and feeling like I was in the story. This story there is full of action, romance, and hot steamy scenes. There are two amazing characters which are what kept me reading until the last page. The characters are what bring the story to life. I highly recommend this book so you yourself can feel for these characters and their story.

Love Between the Lines by A.D. Brazeau – Review by Krista Vaughan
Marlowe is a writer that finds it so much easier to live life at home with her cats. Her sister and her best friend are there for her and that’s all she needs. She’s sworn off of men and love. Who could blame her? Have enough bad relationships and you don’t really want more. Anxiety is so hard to overcome even when a smart, sexy and loyal guy like Heath comes along. A sweet love story that would make any chick flick lover happy!

Wow, another amazing addition to the Billionaire Bodyguards series. This book is the third in it’s series but can very well be read as a stand alone. Each book in the series does focus on a different couple. Which I still highly recommend reading all books in the series, they are great reads! Quite a bit happens in this story. Very entertaining and such a fantastic story. It is a romantic suspense that is full of a whole lot of sizzle along with secrets, danger, hidden agendas, action, and of course love. Captivated from the very first page, and I cannot wait to start the next book in the series. Love this author and her style of writing!

Wolf’s Beautiful Beast: The Big Bad Wolf and Red Riding Hood, join Rapunzel to battle a beast. (The Untold Stories Book 3) by Suzanna Lynn is a story full of fiction and adventure. You get to see the big bad wolf differently. Rapunzel is even shown differently than ever expected. This story is full of surprises.
Lycus was cursed to race across Blakx Forest in wolf form under the silver light of the moon. When Rapunzel set him free, everything changed. He joins her and Red on their journey to the Land of Oz after learning their plans, oblivious to the darkness they will soon face. The trio, trapped in the land of Bruen, hears reports of a vanishing princess and a horrific beast. Lycus is forced to join the hunting party to destroy the beast and save the princess after sticking his nose where the king didn’t think it belonged. The same beast catches Lycus he was commanded to kill, proving that no good deed goes unpunished. It doesn’t take him long to realize that everything in the abandoned castle isn’t as it looks and that there’s a lot more to this story than meets the eye. Can Lycus rescue the princess before his friends are punished for his error in a race against the clock?
This was a lovely retelling. You get to see a side of character you never imagined before, and I loved every page of it. This is book three, and I would love to read more of this collection.

This book is about as real as it can get when it comes to shedding a light on the many obstacles, feelings, and scary and scarring topics that teenagers deal with today. I don’t know if it is because I currently have a thirteen year old girl and 5 other kiddos who will hit teenage years, or if it just was plain mind consuming for me because I could relate on a personal level at that age as well, but this book will be with me for a long long time to come. I will say it does have some extremely triggering topics and may be difficult if you do not feel steady or strong in your mental health at the moment. However, I say that with caution because I am a strong believer in words being a healing thing for many. It is nice to feel as if you are not alone in the world whether it is a fiction or nonfiction read. This author, DM Earl, has done a wonderful job as well handling the topics in a way that I found constructive not just for mere filler in a story. I will not give away any of the gritty details because that is something you will want to read and enjoy for yourself, but I will say this is not one you will want to miss. I am new to DM Earl and her writing so I have not read the other books in this series, yet, but I was completely able to dive right in and not feel as if I needed those books to enjoy or understand this one. I will be going to dive into them as soon as possible, and look forward to seeing what else we will get in the future from DM Earl.
This book was so much fun to read. The bonus part of it is, it carries a wonderfully done undertone of addressing mental illness and anxiety and the impacts it can have on people and the ones they love. It is not an easy task to take a romance novel and add that mental illness topic and keep it one that will give you all the feels and some laughs while making you feel and relate to topics that are unfortunately not normalized nearly enough. I have not had a chance to read any of AD Brazeau’s works prior to this one, but you bet I will fix that and be devouring her other released novels as soon as possible. This one will be one you can and will probably want to read in a whole sitting and be sad to see it end merely because you have fallen for the characters as if they were real people. I sincerely look forward to seeing if we have or will be getting more books like this from Brazeau in the near future.

This was a lighthearted and fun romantic comedy with a realistic and lovable main character, Willow and I could not put the book down. It has plenty of romance and comedy, and a little bit of drama and suspense to keep the storyline exciting. It’s a wonderfully written heartwarming story with some real laugh out loud moments. Willow Everett only has flash backs of her drunken night and four wrinkled up napkins that all have phone numbers on them. With her best friends encouragement Willow dumps her lazy boyfriend and goes on a journey to find ‘her forever’. Unfortunately just when she thinks she has found this in the kind, funny and handsome Gun she learns about Sophie. Not wanting to be ‘that type of women’ Sophie tries to ignore the attraction between them but this only gets harder each time they meet. The obvious chemistry between Willow and Gun really comes across in the narrative and I loved the interactions between the two of them. The storyline flowed well and the plot had enough twists in it to keep me happily turning the pages. An enjoyable and engaging read.

Red’s Tangled Tale: Captain Hook and Red Riding Hood discover the Big Bad Wolf, and Rapunzel too! (The Untold Stories #2) by Suzanna Lynn
This isn’t the first book I’ve read by the author. It won’t be my last as I’ve fallen for this series. Lynn knows how to turn our normal fairytales into another world.
Little Red Riding Hood has a name and it’s not Red. Her name is Rose and she isn’t out hunting just one wolf. She’s hunting wolves as in more than one because they killed her family. She runs into James again although this time he’s got a hook for a hand. Join them on they’re journeys. The quote I chose for Rose is: “Yes, you are a good man, James. You’re a good man who did some very foolish things and was manipulated by an evil witch. One act of idiocy doesn’t set you for life as an evil man.”

I enjoyed this paranormal romance which is part of Richardson‘s ‘The Protectors Series’ and which had me gripped from page one. This stories main characters are Delilah and Mason who have a second chance at love when Mason goes to Delilah’s aid when she’s in danger. The ‘Trackers’ are hunting Delilah for her ‘Elemental gifts’ and she is desperate not to be captured. Even though Delilah left Mason a few years ago he knows it was because he would not open up about his past so this time around he knows he will have to talk about what haunts him, or he will have to push her away again. Although this is part of a series it can be read as a standalone story but the characters do crossover and the underlying storyline about ‘The Protector’s’ communities runs throughout the series. In this story the communities are in danger and a war is coming threatening to destroy their way of life. This is a fast paced novel with an exciting storyline and a plot which keeps you happily turning the pages. The world building is so detailed, and along with the descriptive narrative it made me feel completely immersed in the story. An enjoyable and engaging read.

Love Between the Lines. Book one of the Page Turners Series A.D. Brazeau
A.D. Brazeau has quickly become one of my most relatable authors. Her characters struggle with everyday problems that myself and I’m sure all readers can relate to to some extent; anxiety, loss, heartache, resentment, nerves, and doubt. The beautiful thing about this book is that these struggles actually help redeem the characters instead of seeing them as flaws. They build each other up and work on them together, to build trust and growth to be better. While it is a work of fiction, I believe it could actually help some people struggling with similar ailments- her character went to therapy, tried different strategies to get her feelings stable in HEALTHY ways.
Beyond the “self help love” I feel it’s promoting, I adored the plot line of the book itself. I’m a sucker for rekindling love and overcoming previous heartaches, great descriptions of places, scenes, and characters are definitely a plus too! I can’t wait to read more of her series!

This book is fantastic. Dhani Karim is a young assassin recently demoted from an elite sect of the military to a lowly field agent, after being framed for massacre. She is smart, tough, deadly, and quick-tempered. Her fiery demeanour often gets her into trouble with her higher-ups, but she is one of the best at what she does. When her boring punishment assignment uncovers a much more dangerous plot, her skills and loyalties are tested once again.
I was riveted to this book for the entire 302 pages. The plot moves quickly, and there is so much action. I kept thinking this would make an amazing movie, as I imagined the fight sequences in my head. Powers is a master at creating worlds. She deftly draws the reader into the city of Izurum by detailing the scents in the outdoor market, the sound of metal hitting hard packed dirt, the feel of the cotton-wrapped hilt of her knife. I truly could imagine being there, feeling the heat of the Flame and seeing the bodies of bad guys hitting the ground. An excellent Fantasy Adventure novel, you’ll be hooked. Can’t wait for the next in the series!

When your instantly having to look after your baby niece, will Stone’s life slow down or will he find the woman to save him.
Stone is a Horse trainer and manwhore and is not a shamed of the reputation but when he is thrown into having to look after his sisters baby girl everything changes with his world.
Emmy has returned home to her grandfather’s ranch and has a mega crush on him as soon as she steps on the ranch. After a brief one night stand with Stone there relationship takes a turn as she is his sole help with looking after his sick niece.
This is the first story I have read by this author and I loved the flow of the story and the characters interactions, the only thing I would say is that the story was not long enough to get the full aspects of the chemistry between these two characters. I thought that the Emmy’s character was a brilliant female character with her smart and intelligent personal traits, although I did not have a real connection with Stone’s character I have read a lot of man whore romance books but I could not really get into him until you see the softer side to him and then as I said there was not enough story to redeem himself in the long run.
I would definitely read more books by this author as I enjoyed the flow of the story and can’t wait to read more.
