The Executive’s Decision (The Keller Family #1) by Bernadette Marie

4-stars

I highly enjoyed this romance read from beginning to end. I ended up reading this book in one sitting as I couldn’t bring myself to stop once I got started. I was really intrigued by Regan from the get go and I couldn’t wait to read more about her and see how her story played out, and I was not disappointed in the slightest.

This story flowed really well, there was so much detail that I found it really easy to picture everything playing out in my mind, which kept me highly entertained. I also loved all of the secondary characters in this story, they added so much depth and I hope to read more about them in the next book of the series as well.

This was my first book by this author but it won’t be my last. I would absolutely recommend this book to anyone looking for their next romance read!

Jordan’s Shadow by T.R. Cupak – Review by Heidi Schoolman

Jordan's ShadowJordan’s Shadow by T.R. Cupak
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is a Dark Romance and is 278 pages. This story follows Jordan, an escort who uses alcohol and drugs to get through the days, and her shadow, Hunter. Jordan was raped when she was younger and that is why she is who she is now. So yes, there may be some triggers in here for somebody. This is an emotionally gripping book, one that I just could not put down. This literally pulls out all the feels while you are reading. What an epic read!

Guardians of the Garden by Theresa Pocock – Review by Meg Tyrrell

Guardians of the Garden (Guardians of the Garden, #1)Guardians of the Garden by Theresa Pocock
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is my first book by Theresa Pocock. This is a story of guardians of the garden of Eden. It’s amazing. Couldn’t put it down. This will not be my last book by Theresa. I JUST finished this book and can’t WAIT for the next one. I’m addicted! This book has a lot of supporting cast that are important but not enough space to write about in my review so just know- all the characters are important. The main ones in this story are Miriam and Seth. Miriam lives in Edenia and has rules to live by as a Guardian. Seth is a “normal” boy whose parents drag him and his sisters to Edenia. Their story is incredible!

Can Dreams Come True? (The Cecily Taylor Series Book 1)Can Dreams Come True? by Krysten Lindsay Hager
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Can Dreams Come True? (The Cecily Taylor Series Book 1) by Kristen Lindsay Hager is a sweet and light young adult story about coming of age, falling in love for the first time, navigating through the plethora of emotions attached to growing up and giving your heart to another. Discovering your soulmate is a major part of your life and Cecily and Andrew’s journey is memorable and heartwarming. A girl who finds herself thrown into the path of her first crush is a dream come true, and reading their story was a nice change from the steamy and raunchy stories I love to read. This story was a refreshing step back into the world of first love and all the dramatic emotions involved in that journey. 4 stars.

The Mystery Of The Lost Avenger is a great, interesting read for the young as well as the older. The story was very enriching as well as adventurous. Loved the story very much.

Hacker (The Mercenaries, #2)Hacker by Raven White
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Hacker
The Mercenaries Series
Book 2
By Nadine Travers
☆☆☆☆☆
This is a full length, edge of your seat, romantic suspense. Be prepared to go for the long run. Once you start this book, you will not be able to put it down. Highly addictive, hot and steamy, and even some Mafia Kings.

Chris “Hacker” Montgomery has met his soul mate. Okay maybe his one true love, she disappeared in the night. As he continues his work and searches for her, she can’t be found. He is not willing to let her go. Marie Costa is a beautiful young lady, she has raised her sister and followed her father’s demands. But enough is enough! She escapes only to be threatened to return home. Her father has promised her to a rival mafia king. He only wants to join groups and become more powerful. Deciding on her and her sister’s fate, she goes back for help from Hacker. Hacker is angered and yet willing to bring his team in to help Marie and her sister escape. Now! Will he be able to keep his head about him? Will Marie get the help she needs? What about the mafia kings? Who gets the girls?

Nadine Travers has written this non stop action story. This is one of those books that will keep you engaged and reading. The emotional highs and lows, along with the fighting for freedom is what this story holds. Nadine Travers writes her women to be strong, while very frightened, yet they still show some grit. You can’t help but love the characters. Hacker and Marie are both strong willed. But you will also love Tank and the other Mercenaries as they help out Marie. I can’t wait for the next installment. Well Done Nadine Travers! Well Done!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Auctioned by Via Mari a feisty four-star read. This is number three in the Billionaire Bodyguards series, and just like the first two this is steamy and seductive. This was a great story and has so much push and pull and Bryanna and Damien both have fierce protective instincts, and that can sometimes lead to explosive action. There is some great chemistry in this one, and some great thought put into the worries of the characters, they feel deep and complex and add something to the story.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Hacker a suspenseful four-star read. This is number two in the Mercenaries series, I haven’t read number one but didn’t feel like I was missing anything from the previous story. This had action a plenty and drama was definitely a foot, there was some romance and sizzle, but it wasn’t the be all and end all. Fast paced through this story and has enough characters that you are kept interested but not enough that you get lost. Marie and Hacker will make you care and want to know more about them.

The Sun at Twilight (Empire at Twilight #4)The Sun at Twilight by N.L. Holmes
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the 4th book in the Empire At Twilight series and the books keep getting better. What I love about this author is how they are able to bring history to life. The stories are enjoyable to read and the author knowledge about historical times really brings the story and characters to life.

Tudhaliya IV has taken the throne of the Hittite Empire after his father passes away. He is placed in that position over all of his older half brothers and he wonders why.

Knowing that it isn’t his rightful role he struggles to keep everyone happy and his relationships with his family members on the right track. However with his best friend and cousin the rightful person to take the throne,Tudhaliya is torn between his loyalty to his family and dear friend and his duty to the throne. Add to this story the  forces working against him and he doesn’t know who to trust. Should we just trust people because they are family or should he be guarded against everyone and anyone.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I loved this MC story. I have read most if not all the books in this author’s MC series. They just keep getting better and better with each one. Her attention to details make the story feel realistic and her stories are well developed. The characters are relatable and keep the story engaging. Hot, bad boys on motorcycles, what more could you ask for. This is a story of action, romance, and when fate steps in you have no control over what happens next. I loved being pulled into this story from the beginning. The characters just bring the story to life and really made the story for me. I highly recommend this book and this author.

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

I see this series as one of the wildest rides of my reading life. And now, as we tunnel below what we thought was rock bottom, the city is still in peril, and Dahlia is dealing with possibly the most loaded metaphorical plate that I’ve ever seen. After all, being asked to solve everything while barely having gotten out of her last scrape alive tends to weigh heavily on the mind and body. There might be a day where our heroine gets to have some peace, but today is not that day. In the meantime, grab a copy and help cheer her on!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Whether we are human or shapeshifter, secrets can be our best friend, or our worst enemy. For Dahlia, it seems as though she straddles the thin line between those distinctions, and that fact is the most prominent in this book as she tackles yet another wave of unspeakable crimes against the very species that she lives to protect. It seems that, even with a partner, it may turn out to go far too deep for our favorite heroine to tackle. Can her empathy give her the answers that she needs? Who else is keeping secrets, and what are the consequences? Read to find out!

Flash Point (Nite Fire, #1)Flash Point by C.L. Schneider
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I am a sucker for a good fantasy novel, and this first installment of the Nite Fire series definitely shows promise and establishes a great foundation of the heroine and her journey for all of the books that follow this one. I adored the idea of a shapeshifting assassin from another world, and I loved the fact that she has a soft spot for humans. Her life is never boring, by default, but that leaves her kept constantly on her toes. To see what I mean, crack the book open and experience the adventure for yourself! Also, be prepared to need to order the next installment immediately upon completion.

Granted: Curse of the Emerald Jinn by Rachel Huffmire is a wonderfully original start to a new YA fantasy series. With magic, Jinn/genies, the paranormal, teen struggles, obstacles, friendship, quirky characters, and more- this story made for a fun read.
Liam is thrust into a situation/adventure he never could have predicted. When strange things begin to happen, Liam’s life ifs about to change. Genies, magic, and even a little romance were cleverly woven into a great little read.

Thank you, Rachel Huffmire!

New to the supernatural world, Sophie is struggling to uncover the secrets of her late grandmother’s witchy abilities. Unfortunately for her, she was also bitten by a werewolf and is running out of time until the next full moon. At the same time, the werewolf who bit her, Trace, has been tasked with finding the source of a curse placed on his pack – never mind the attraction he feels towards his main suspect: Sophie. Though the story was short, I loved every second of this hilarious, yet steamy, paranormal romantic comedy. I can’t wait to see what’s in store in this world of the New Orleans Nocturnes Series!

Secure Her by R.L. Dunn is the fourth book in the Chase Security Series. This can be read as a standalone story but has recurring characters from other books in the series. This book is focused on Zach and Saoirse. The two end up making a dynamic pair but are faced with all sorts of danger before getting there. When the two are involved in figuring out a human trafficking ring a lot of dangerous situations occur. Will Zach be able to get Saoirse through to the other side of this situation safely?
I have enjoyed this series but this book really has a lot of twists to it which added to the thrill of Zach and Saoirse meeting and having to work together. I look forward to reading more in this series and from this author in the future.

Chris “Hacker” Montgomery devotes his life to his computer and his teammates. Marie Costa is part of the mafia family in Montreal. This is the second book in the Mercenaries series. It is romantic suspense. It’s full of action, suspense and strong characters. You are pulled right into the story and the author really just doesn’t let go. It is a well written book and really is a great addition to the series. You can read it as a standalone but I do think it’s better to read the first book before hand.

Hooks Little Mermaid: Captain Hook crosses paths with an enchanting mermaid, as he seeks revenge against Peter Pan by Suzanna Lynn is the first book in the Untold Stories series. This is a unique retelling of a well known story and the author has done a good job of taking the story and creating something new. The author manages to create a vivid picture of everything going on so it really felt like you were there. It would have been nice to see a little more of the dark Captain Hook that you are use to but it was good to see him in a whole new perspective. This was a front start to a new series and I am looking forward to reading the next.
