The Ocean’s Light (Blood of the Pirate Book 1) by Mina Chara – Review by Angela Hayes

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

 

4 ½ Stars

 

The Ocean’s Light is the first book in the Blood of the Pirate series by Mina Chara. I love Ms. Chara’s Hero High series, so I was quite excited to find she had released a new book and discover that it’s also the start of a swashbuckling new series. She had me on the first page- reading The Legend of the Light introduction to the story was all I needed to see to know that I was going to love this story. And I did.
This is Indiana Jones meets Pirates of the Caribbean- a wonderfully original swashbuckling pirate adventure- a treasure hunt full of action, intrigue, mystery, danger, drama, curses, and so much more. I was glued to the pages, not wanting to put the book down until I had read every last word. I am hooked on this book/series- and really can’t wait to get my hands on the next book.
I am so happy that this story was so incredibly good, as there were a few editing issues (Amazon Au verified purchase Kindle copy) which pulled me out of the story and disrupted the flow. Simple things that should have been picked up in the editing/proof reading/Beta reading phase- and had they been, this book would have been all the better for it. Issues such as getting characters mixed up, referring to an MC’s as he, when they are she- or she, when they are he. Starting off in a MC’s character perspective (Slim) and then calling her Bulk (another MC). Sentences that don’t quite make sense, because of the use of wrong words, and simple typos like using ‘in’, instead of ‘at’. So, I am so very relieved that the story was so captivating, because becoming immersed in all the action and adventure did help to distract me from the editing issues- to the point where they didn’t detract (too much) from my overall enjoyment of the story.
I am invested in this series now, as it has captured my imagination and got me thinking- my mind is pondering all the various scenarios of where we can go from here. I can’t wait! Bring on Book #2!
Happy reading!

Thank you, Mina Chara!

The Executive's Decision (Keller Family, #1)The Executive’s Decision by Bernadette Marie
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The Executive’s Decision (Book One of the Keller Family Series) by Bernadette Marie was a really good read! This book was full of heart in my opinion, with all sorts of feels. I was instantly immersed in this book from the first page, and once I started reading I didn’t want to stop, or leave the characters. They felt so real to me! This was a fictional novel that felt so realistic. I felt like I was right there with the characters. If I’m recalling correctly, this is the first novel by this author I’ve read before, and I can’t read to read more from her in the future! I also can’t wait to read the next installment to this series!

This series is like a fine wine; it gets better with age. This is a standalone, but best to read the others first. Detective Petrosky has lived a heck of a life as a detective. And he’s sure that this B&E will be a simple case but ends up being a complication that Detective Petrosky doesn’t need…in many ways. With the many twists and turns, this book gives you, it necessary to not give anything away while reviewing. You cannot go wrong with this series!

Secure Her (Chase Security #4)Secure Her by R.L. Dunn
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Zach is still coming to terms with losing an operative on a mission due to their personal relationship when he gets put onto a new case. Undercover female officers are showing up dead when as they are trying to infiltrate a human trafficking ring. Zach, who is known as Ice at the club he partially owns, must teach a new undercover to be a submissive in order to crack this case open. However, this Dom may be finding his personal feelings coming out to play with this Sub.
Saoirse has been asked to come in on a new case when another undercover is found dead. One of the victims is her roommate from Quantico. When she finds herself paired up with Zach on the case, she could have never imagined how her life would change. She is not only able to discover her own desires in the bedroom, she finds herself falling for her Dom. However, personal feelings can be detrimental on a case like this. Can they keep the lines between personal and professional straight?
I think the thing that made this book more interesting was the constant flashbacks and timeline from a victim’s point of view. I found myself having to set the book aside a time or two because it delves into some heavy topics. Like the other books in the series, I enjoyed the story and always find myself wanting more from the Chase Security world!

Hook’s Little Mermaid (The Untold Stories BOOK 1) by Suzanna Lynn – Review by Anantha Rusum

/0 Comments/in /by

Hook's Little Mermaid (The Untold Stories #1)Hook’s Little Mermaid by Suzanna Lynn
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This book is an imaginative retelling of the evergreen children’s classic Peter Pan. The book’s central character is Captain Shaw, whom we know as the notorious Captain Hook in Neverland. This tale is about the humane side of Captain Hook and what caused him to be the notorious man he is known to be.
Captain Hook was a pirate, and was an honest pirate with his heart in the right place. He cared for his crew, and the women who came into his life, even for a brief fling. He begets a son from one such fling, is kept away from him for several years till one day, he is united with him. But his son joins the Lost Boys troop of Peter Pan and gets accidentally killed in one of the pirate encounters. This causes Hook to seek vengeance against Pan. He tries different venues to get to Pan, but is incapacitated with his inability to fly. To get near Pan, he first captures Tinkerbell for fairy dust, then befriends a beautiful witch who claims to be the sister of the Sea God Neptune, and falls in love with a mermaid who is Pan’s best friend.
But in his plotting and scheming, he loses his edge and falls prey instead of being a predator. Desperately in love, and now a target to an evil power, Hook tries to hold on to the humane side and for a brief time even forgets about his vengeance with Pan for the greater good.
But will his good side prevail and make him a better person? Or will the cruel fate take away what he is holding dear to heart and make him an evil heartless villain? That forms the crux of this story.
The language is beautiful and the book is a very easy read. But I did have some qualms on the plot. I felt it a little convoluted at few places. But I really enjoyed this imaginative retake on one of my childhood classics.

This book had me hooked from the beginning. This is my favorite one in this series. If you haven’t read the first two it is my suggestion that you go back and read them. This story is full of action, danger, magic, wonderful characters and more. The author weaves such a detailed rich story that you feel like your right there in it. I had a hard time putting this book down. I found this book to be refreshingly original. I will definitely be reading more books by this author. I recommend this book and series as a whole.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Auctioned is the third book in the Billionaire Bodyguards series by Via Mari. I have to stop being surprised by how much I love Via Mari writing. Every book I read always seems to keep me hanging on the edge till the last word. Damian and Bryanna’s story was nail-biting and super sexy that I want more from them.

Damian is hired to find Jenny’s niece, Bryanna but what he wasn’t expecting was mixing business with pleasure. And Bryanna will do anything to save her family even being auctioned off to the highest bidder.

Like every story, there were characters that I can’t wait to get a closer look at and returning ones that I needed an update on. I need more info on Bryanna’s brother (please!).

Hook’s Little Mermaid (The Untold Stories #1) by Suzanna Lynn

This is the first book I’ve read by Lynn. It won’t be my last. The Untold Stories Series is a Fairytale retelling of Captain Hook and Little Mermaid. Can be read as a stand alone.

Captain James Hook is looking to revenge the death of his son. Tinker Bell becomes his fairy friend while Red becomes his wolf buddy. Peter needs to taken care of, but will a mermaid change his mind. The quote I chose for James is: “I don’t need to trust them. I just need the dust. I believe any fairy would happily exchange some dust for its freedom.”

Elynna is a mermaid in Neverland. When she meets James she soon learns that he wants to do something horrible. When she learns the story she decides that she’s going to take into her own hands. The quote I chose for Elynna: “This is not the way to honor Owen. Be the man he was proud of.”

Highly recommended for YA Fantasy lovers.

The World Beyond the Walls: epic dystopian eco-fantasy (Natural Forces Book 3) by Jean Gill – was an excellent third book to this series. I think there’s some wiggle room for another book. I will really hate it if this is the end. This is just a really good story however, it does give you something to contemplate and think about. What exactly is perfection? And is that something we would really want? What would the unintended consequences be? Interesting thoughts.

Goddess of Everything by Paul DeBlassie III – Review by Shannon Fowler

Goddess of Everything: A Blood-Curdling Tale of the Affection of One Mother for Her Son and Her Son's Struggle for Truth, Freedom, and LoveGoddess of Everything: A Blood-Curdling Tale of the Affection of One Mother for Her Son and Her Son’s Struggle for Truth, Freedom, and Love by Paul DeBlassie III
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

DeBlassie has upped the ante with this “blood curdling” story. Unlike any of his other crazy stories, Goddess of Everything is above and beyond normal craziness.

This story is about Mother Juana and her need for…blood, death, obedience and well, everything. Mother Juana’s son Gabriel is torn between his love for his wife, his mother and life in general.

These characters are well developed, enough so that you know if you met up with Mother Juana you would want to run the other way. And if you met up with Gabriel you would see the devotion and love this man has for those around him especially those less fortunate.

The plot of this story is unbelievable, disheartening, and downright disturbing. Way to go DeBlassie. If you enjoy dark stories with a touch of mystery and crazy, this may be one you put at the top of your list.

Are you ready to Get In, Sit Down, and Read like there is no tomorrow? I still use that phrase to describe this series. I highly recommend this entire series because it is all enjoyable and because you will enjoy all the books and plot-lines more. Lynder Filler is an amazing author,in my humble opinion. She keeps you at the edge of your seat. I know there are points when my heart races because I feel as if I am right there with the characters. I will admit that Luke Raven is my book boyfriend. He does not look for trouble, BUT trouble does come looking for him. Luke has found trouble but is this kind of trouble he can recover from or will this be his last mission? I highly recommend this book and series.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is one of my favorite psychological thrillers I have read recently. Neil MacDonald takes you on a mission that makes you think. This story made me turn the pages just looking for that small glimpse to let me know where I am. The plot-line takes you on a mission that you really need to focus on what is going on around you so you do not lose your mind. The characters are amazing, especially Vince. Vince has been asked to go undercover, which he is a master of, the only thing is he will have to make up this character. He may lose his identity because of how deep he will go undercover. Not only lose himself, but there is the question of whether he follows his heart or his mission. I highly recommend this book. Just be prepared to read it in one sitting.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Can Zach keep his feelings under wrap and help Saoirse learning the ways of a Dom/Sub relationship because if this fails, she may become the next victim in this uncover op.

Zach has always had a dominant streak from when he first discover sex and relationships, over the past couple of years he has been looking for a new submissive to play with. When his job in Chase security being critical, but a new assignment comes close to blurring the lines between professional and personal.

Saoirse is determined to bring down the human trafficking ring which has already claimed uncover police woman. When she recruits the help of Chase Security the only man who can help is Master Ice, Zach Wentworth. While they are training she becomes further and further into the lifestyle and discovers more about herself than she maybe prepared to acknowledge.

I have read the first three books and knew what I was getting with this book and it did not disappoint. This story was hard hitting and the subject matter was brilliantly weaved through and I’m glad that Zach has been given his own story. The relationship between the two of them was brilliant watching the dance that the story weave through was a thrilling read.

I loved the fact that Saoirse was an intelligent, smart person within her role in the District Attorney where she is in a relatively male dominant world so she had to be the balls to the wall woman. So when she meets Zach she starts to understand that although in her job she is in charge in her sexual life she wanted to relinquish the power and her pleasure to someone else and learning this for the role she will have to play going forward.

The way the characters develop the relationship was a brilliant read and well developed story, I enjoyed the story from the first word till the last. Although it is part of a series each book can be read as a stand alone book, I can’t wait to read the next instalment within this series.

If you are older the book will have you reminiscing of a time past and for the young adult reader it is a great coming of age story. Cecily will hit you right in the heart, she will have you falling for your celebrity/rockstar crush all over again. Can’t wait to see what is to come for Cecily.

I loved that the way the author had written the blurb as it felt like I was going in blind to the book. Because of that it was like I was experiencing everything right there along with the characters. This was an exciting and fast paced story that will really appeal to someone of the genre it is written for. The book was so easy to read and was so enjoyable.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Like.. What ?! What in the world did I just read ? Those are my immediate thoughts of this book after turning its last few pages.

Goddess of Everything starts in a cemetery with a young boy and his Mother. You soon realize this woman is not everything she seems on the surface with what transpires at the boys fathers funeral.

This is absolutely the definition of a supernatural, psychological thriller. It’s a newer, often unexplored subject that I don’t feel gets touched on to much. It’s fresh. This book is a wild, crazy, edge of your seat ride to the very end. It most definitely is a blood curdling ride as well with its depictions of child abuse, and murder which I feel should definitely have some trigger warnings involved for a more sensitive audience as it’s definitely an intense read! There are tons of corrupt people involved and it’s hard to really trust anyone throughout the book but I do think Consuela was one of the best in this book. As hard as she tried to open Gabriel’s eyes to the evil that was his mother she remained steadfast and strong for him never aggressive or defensive while she let him fight his own demons and wage his battles inside himself. They fought until the very end which eventually paid off. If you can look past the triggers mentioned and are looking for fresh, albeit hard to read, new subject matter in your thrillers this might be the book for you! It’s an absolute nail bitter.

This is the 6th book in the Spicetopia series and these books just keep getting better and better. Even though they are a series they can be read as a standalone as they each focus on a different couple.

This story focuses on Calvin and Paisley. Paisley has always had an adventurous side when it comes to finding pleasure whereas her husband Calvin has more vanilla tastes. Determined to have an open mind and to celebrate their anniversary Calvin books them on a trip to the best adult only theme park Spicetopia. Paisley is so excited about this experience and wants to make the most of it before their baby arrives. Calvin wants to be open minded enough that Paisley can 100% enjoy herself.
However something is wrong. It could just be the pregnancy hormones but in Paisley’s eyes Calvin is taking to this a bit to easily.

Is Calvin hiding secrets from her? Is there lies in her marriage she doesn’t know about? Even though they are madly and completely in love is their relationship strong enough to stand the temptations and experiences Spicetopia throws their way.

Can Dreams Come True? (The Cecily Taylor Series Book 1) by Krysten Lindsay Hager is a sweet coming of age story and will definitely suit the YA readers. The story has all the usual angst and drama, insecurity and anxiety in that time in young adult lives where everything is felt so much more harshly and dramatically. The narrative is well written and the plot flows well that will keep a younger reader engaged.

Overall, Krysten has written a sweet romance that is cute and will be enjoyed by the teens who love a girl meets crush story line.

The Executive’s Decision (Keller Family #1) by Bernadette Marie is contemporary romance story. This office love story is full of unexpected twists. I enjoyed the family dynamics; they were well written. There is a lot going on in this story with betrayal and pain, love and romance, humour and witty banter, passion and love, fear and forever. It is a little predictable, but it still plays on your emotions. I found the female lead a little frustrating at times but overall, my heart felt for her.

She is starting over after pain and betrayal and has given up on love. He has never really had a life beyond work. But one fateful fall set them on a journey to find love.
