Kiss of the SwanKiss of the Swan by Natalina Reis
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

What an amazing read of another classic retelling! Natalina Reis’ rendition of the classic stories of Hans Christian Anderson and Grimm’s fairy tales will bring readers of these familiar tales and new readers towards curiosity to a new adventure.

This story takes us to the Kingdom of Nem, where King Rian is doing all that he can to ensure an heir to his throne. When his son is finally born, a witch casts an evil spell that when the child turns 18 years of age, everyone in the Kingdom including the King will fall into a deep slumber.

As the years go by, the reader is introduced to Cathal and his younger brother, Odhran. Now as young men, Cathal had grown up protecting the evil wrongdoings of his younger brother as a result of their mother’s dying wish. Odhran tended to have a hurtful and sadistic nature, while Cathal was the complete opposite of being gentle and kind to others. Encounters with some swans nearby had landed Odhran in a special prison while Cathal recovers from being attacked. Under the care of Queen Eala and her family, Cathal learns of his brother’s actions and tries to justify his lack of protection while his brother is under his watchful eye.

As Cathal heals physically and mentally from such a taxing ordeal of years long hardship he endured as a result of Odhran’s harmful actions, he starts appreciating the simple things of life, nature, and love. Such simple life experiences Cathal hasn’t had the opportunity to cherish being the protector to his brother. At the same time, secrets start to come to light when he learns where he is and the people taking care of him. Things he never knew such as magical creatures, witches, and most importantly, family secrets that intertwined the futures of these brothers.

Seductively Yours (Titans Of Manhattan, #3)Seductively Yours by Anise Storm
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Titan, Mason Steele, is a life-long bachelor who owns a handful of nightclubs around the states. He is a man who has a different girl all the time until he meets Rhyann one night at his club, and indulges in a hot romance in the bathroom. Rhyann is a small town girl from Kansas with a dream of being a dancer. While trying to make her way through dance school, her girlfriend and her decide to get jobs as exotic dancers, at one of Masons’ clubs; little did she know he was the owner. Rhyann quickly became one of the favorites among the men in the club, which included Mason. Rhyann struggles with trying to find herself in this big city, follow her dreams, and find respect as a woman. Will the boundaries that need to be displayed work to fight their feelings of lust, or was their amazing one night stand way more than that?

Seductively Yours is one of my favorites in this series. The characters involved are dynamic, real, and seductive. Rhyann is a sweet, but badass, driven woman that catches the attention of Mason who is dangerous, but sweet. He is also driven, honest, and respectful all while being sexy as hell. The chemistry the two characters have reels you in to hope they each can figure it out and find a happy ending. I will say, while in all of this author’s Titan stories there are steamy story lines, this one takes the cake. I could have read about the romance between these two all day!

Class ClownClass Clown by Allan Evans
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I read Class Clown because of the clown apocalypse. I have always enjoyed a dystopian fantasy read and adding something like clowns was super intriguing. The term apocalypse was a bit overstated for this book, as the clowns Abbey keeps seeing are ghost. Abbey has a unique ability to see and is a self titled spook magnet. Abbey begins at a new school and on a whim joins the girls soccer team. She makes fast friends but she also started the year off by going to a circus with her family, where the clowns have connected to her and now are following her. Abbey if faced with weird occurrences and her friends start going missing. Abbey now has the mission to face these clowns and find her friends before it is too late. This was a quick read and actually fun to get into. I would recommend for a fun, paranormal read. Just don’t take it as a literal apocalypse about to occur.

This is a fun and easy reading historical mystery story with some great characters involved. I didn’t find the story to be that complex which meant it was great just for getting lost in for a few hours. It is a pretty quick story to read, nothing too heavy but still an interesting book.
I thought the main character and her father were a good combination. The dynamic worked. This is a good book that is worth a read.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This book is not my usual genre to read. I find stories like this too much for me sometimes, but I thought I’d give it a go.
I’m glad that I tried it because it was a fantastic story following a 14-year-old Abbey and her paranormal abilities.

I did not realise that this story was one in a series, so I am glad to know that I can go back and read what happened before this part of her life. Before I found this out, I did feel like there was a few gaps at the beginning – but it can still be read as a first if you want to!

I enjoyed her ‘side story’ through sports too. A weird thing to point out? Maybe, but not enough stories for the younger reading age has girls doing sports! The realistic high school drama was the thing that grounded the story for me.

Like many others, I enjoyed reading about the different characters, but feel that there is definitely more to explore!

After reading the first book I could not wait to get my hands on book two. And it did not disappoint. Thia is still a relatively new author to me but I really love how gritty and intense the feel of all the books are. It completely draws me in and I become engrossed with the story.
I can tell this series is going to be fantastic as both of the books so far have been amazing. I loved everything about this book from the story to the characters. I would highly recommend it!

I have followed this series from the start and this is a great continuation of the story. I have loved the originality of the series and this book is no different.
You are transported straight back into the characters and their lives. It is so easy to connect with them again as they embark on yet another adventure. The story is fast paced and exciting and has a lot going on. It took no time to fly through it as I was enjoying the story so much. This is a great book and great series and I cannot wait to see what comes next.

(Un)Loved (Mixed Emotions, #1)(Un)Loved by Katy Hunter
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Sophie and Gil are costarring in a movie together but have vowed to keep things in the “friend zone” even though the movie involves a lot of intimacy. After the movie wraps, things change and “G” and “Shee” take off to London to spend the summer with G’s family. My favorite part of the story was reading about Tornado, the llama!

I did not really enjoy this book, except for the previously mentioned llama. Maybe it’s my age, maybe it’s that I don’t use or appreciate the language used, or that the “romantic” scenes were way overdone and were really the focus of the entire book. The book seemed to be set up to read as a diary of sorts and at times I felt that vibe. Other times it seemed all over the place in terms of structure. I found Sophie to be way too immature and the matchup between her and Gil was almost comical at times to me. His family was a mess, but so was her’s as well. I guess I expected something with a little more sustenance to it.

I do think that those who enjoy reading social media posts and those who get wrapped up in the world of entertainment would find this book enjoyable. Maybe those of a younger mindset as well, although I’m sure that others could also find it enjoyable. Had I personally read this as a teenager/early 20’s, I’m sure my outlook would have been much different.

Call of the Alpha (The Powder River Pack #2)Call of the Alpha by Brooke May
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is the 2nd book in a great paranormal romance series. As much as I enjoyed the first book in the series, this one is even better. I loved Mason and Rylie’s story. Each book in the series can be read as a standalone but I’d advise reading the whole series, in order, to get the most out of it. I assure you, you won’t be disappointed.
One of my favourite tropes has to be single dads. In my experience of reading many, many books, single dads are usually awesome dads with fantastic relationships with their kids. I could have spent hours reading about Mason and his little boy/werewolf Archer. Archer is absolutely adorable and he totally stole my heart. The final chapter, which is told from Archer’s POV just pulls on the heartstrings. I also loved reading his growing relationship with Rylie as she and Mason progress through their relationship.
This book is quite a bit longer than the first book in the series and I’m so glad that I got more of Mason, Rylie and Archer is I was really enthralled by their story.
One thing that I really want now is Mason’s brother Miles’ story. I really need to know what’s going on with him and Alexa.
100% recommend this book.

The Traveler: Book 2The Traveler: Book 2 by Deborah Dugan
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I really need to make sure I start at the beginning of a series moving forward, as this was singularly the most unique read, and it’s unfortunate that I didn’t get to become one with the Traveler before moving onto this installment. Despite not reading the first novel in this series, I found myself entwined in the authors writing and the adventures/emotions, as well as the peaks and valleys that come to pass through the timeline in which this takes place. Lately, I have been picking up easy to read, quick novels to pass the time, and this certainly was not one of those. It is a very involved, deep literary adventure, that is best if you take your time to really commit to what is going on within these pages.

I’m a huge time travel fan, when it comes to movies/shows/novels, and this one did not disappoint, nor did the authors ability to weave the fantasy and science fiction into the readers imagination as well as the characters as well. There is always good and bad out there, and it’s up to us to really do all that we can do face our fears and do all that we can to be able to get through this life, and perhaps our afterlife/lives as well. The novel may seem a little jumpy at times, though it could just be me, and I really need to read the beginning to follow the way this is done! Very much look forward to reading the first installment and coming back to this one. If you have the time to commit to this series, do it!

This is the first book in the Wolf Hallow Pack series and wow what a beginning. I love shape-shifter romances stories anyway. I love the protectivness and the passion that is involved but this goes beyond that with danger as well.

Lily is a human servant to the Huntington wolves. She wants a normal quiet life but when one of the guards decides to force her to be his it changes her life and her position in that household forever.

Jason is Prince of the pack. His destiny is to become Alpha to the pack. But one meeting with Lily changes all that. Knowing he has no found his fated mate he now needs to prove to her that they belong together, something that he and his wolf already know. However he also needs to protect her from the guard who seeks to own her.
Can Jason save Lily and be with her? What will the consequences of their love be?
The story ends on a cliff hanger and i cannot wait for the next book in this series.

Seductively Yours (Titans Of Manhattan #3) by Anise Storm

This isn’t the first book I’ve read by the author. This is the third book in the Titans of Manhattan Series. Seductively Yours is a great read and will keep you entertained.

Rhyann is moving from Manhattan, Kansas to Manhattan, New York. She loves dancing and gets into a school for it in New York. Leaving her family behind she soon finds herself a new one in New York. The quote I chose for Rhyann is: “Then my name wouldn’t matter. As long as I was moaning out ‘more,’ ‘please,’ or ‘oh God,’ then you wouldn’t really give a damn. Am I wrong? I might not be from around here, but I know your type. It’s the same in any city.”

Mason is finally back in Manhattan and gets a show when he goes to his club, The Vault. A new girl shows her stuff on the dance floor and they get it on in the bathroom. Mason doesn’t expect to see her again. The quote I chose for Mason is: “You’re going to be the f***ing death of me yet.”

Highly recommended for Contemporary Romance lovers.

I haven’t read a YA book in a while and this book was the perfect palette cleanser after all the sad books I’ve read lately.
Abby Hill with her spooky talent gave me a thrilling read with an amazing never been written (that I know of) storyline.
The author did a superb job with the balance between spooky and YA.
It’s the first book I’ve read by this author bit definitely not the last. (Just clicked following)

Deacon Saint 

My father told me once that anything that gets your blood racing is worth the risk doing. I didn’t factor in that I have to face the tragic loss of my best friend, discover that my mother has Alzheimer and come face to face with a girl who broke my heart all those years ago.  

Yet, coming back to my hometown in Tennessee—after being gone for ten years—leaving behind a racing career in the MotoGP world, I’d have to deal with the trials set before me in this small town. I’d rather take on the track, lose skin, break bones, and tear muscle than to make the decision that’ll change my life forever.

Olivia Bane 

I thought my life is perfect. Working as a nurse, a boyfriend who’s a doctor, and friends I cherish dearly. Then, the second Deacon Saint comes back home, my ideal life shifts to utter chaos. My boyfriend turns out to be a jerk, I almost lose my job and I’m faced with losing my heart again to the man that broke into the first place. 

Deacon shattered me before he left our town and now he thinks it’s water under the bridge and is determined to reclaim my heart. It’s going to take more than sweet talkin’, fast motorcycles, and good old Southern country charm to win me back.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the 3rd book in the Notebook Series. I would really recommend reading the first 2 books in the series first as they themes and characters all follow through the series. This book continues from the end of the last book.
What I love about these books is how well the stories are written. You completely feel transported to the era the books are written in. The stories are a great read, they are full of mystery and murder and our main character Emma has loads more challenges to overcome, from learning to run a charity made with a donation from a wealth client to solving a mystery involving drugs, kidnapping and more.
Adding to this mystery is another case brought to her by an old flame but are things as they seem?
It is a thrilling read that will need the reader hooked and guessing from beginning to end. You feel captivated and transported in time which adds to the charm of this series.

I enjoyed this paranormal romance story. This is a new author for me that I enjoyed and look forward to reading more from this author in the future. I found this book to be a well written story where the author used details to make the story realistic. This is a fast paced, action and romance filled story that is hard to put down. The creative characters pulled me into the story from the start. They made the story engaging and fun to read. I enjoyed how connectable and supportive they were throughout the story. This is a story about Jason and Lily. One has been held captive for the past year and the other is biding his time until he gets out from under his father until these two meet. Now with things threatening to keep them apart, what will fate have in store for them. I enjoyed their chemistry and their growth throughout. I enjoyed how they brought the story to life and made the story for me. You don’t want to miss what happens with these two. I highly recommend this book.

I loved reading this sweet romance story. This is one of my favorites by this author. I have loved reading this author from the first book I picked up by her. She pulls you into her stories by her great writing skills as well as her attention to details. She pulls you into the story from the beginning. This book is no different. This is a well written story that is shorter but it packs a punch for sure. A story about a sweet romance between two people who are searching for love. They won’t see what fate has in store for them until it hits them. The characters are connectable and have great growth throughout the story. I also enjoyed their chemistry which made me laugh in parts. This is an easy and entertaining story that is worth the pick up. I highly recommend this book and this author.

This is not my first book by this author but I enjoyed this one just as much as the first one. This is a well written story that takes place in Chicago in 1885. Emma finds herself in a new adventure that is full of action, murder, hidden plots, and so much more. I enjoyed seeing characters from the previous books. They are strong, creative, relatable characters that made the story entertaining to read. This is a fast paced, engaging story that pulled me in from the beginning. I enjoyed the growth and chemistry of the characters and how they support each other. The author’s use of details brought the story to life and had me coming back for more. This is the third book in this series which I highly suggest reading the previous books as well. They are just as enjoyable and Emma will take you on an adventure you won’t soon forget. I really enjoyed what Emma brought to the story and I highly recommend this book.

The storyline for Cate and Patti was incredible and when you thought you had a grip on what was going on- there was a curve ball thrown right at ya. There’s a lot of twists and surprise and it really kept me on the edge of my seat. Cate and Pattis friendship was an important facet and I am so glad I got to experience it.

I have very much enjoyed getting to know Emma Evans and her family/team. This author has hit the nail on the head again when it comes to telling a story as it pertains to different characters. The third person narrative once again steals the show, and I thoroughly enjoy the way that she focuses each chapter on a certain event/character, I find it really allows for the reader to follow the story line without feeling bombarded with a ton of information all at once. The love that has developed deeper between Emma and Jeremy is adorable, and is long-term relationship goals for me, I’ll be rooting for them all the way!

Life is full of changes, and challenges, and the ones that come up throughout this specific adventure are relatable, especially for me, and I feel like the emotions tied into the different cases that are being taken on by this team are described to a T. One of my favorite things about this series so far is that it’s never just one thing going on, and the pace is, in my opinion, perfect. Without even realizing it, you’re drawn in to help solve the cases, and try to beat them to the punch, and I absolutely love disappearing for a while into these adventures. Keep them coming, please, highly recommend reading this series!

This was a book by a new author to me. I thought she did a really great job with this book. I did find the first couple of chapters to be a little slow, but once I got past that I couldn’t put it down. My emotions were conflicted while reading this book but in the end all that took place in the story was perfect for the ending. This was filled with romance, major bumps in the road, and a lot of humor. I found myself really rooting for the characters in the end. I wasn’t disappointed with this read and look forward to reading the next installment in the series.

This novel was more than expected based on the unsuspecting cover. I expected Julia to try to find a way back to Adam but this has twists and turns that I didn’t see coming.

I am so happy that this is series and I have more adventures and plot to look forward to.

It is always a great feeling when you finish a book that surprises you in a memorable way.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Oh my goodness, Emma is at it again! I love the stories of Emma and her friends. This story had me just as excited and intrigued as the first one. Emma need to figure things out with Jeremy while solving crime with Tony and her friends. Solve she does. This story is so engaging. These truly are my favorite type of stories. If you can engage me from the start and keep my attention all the way through, you have a fan for life. The characters have personality and are easy to relate to. The details are such that its easy to delve into the story and feel like you are there. Kind of like a female Sherlock Holmes story. Love this series. You should read this if you like historical mysteries and/or strong female leads. Highly recommending.

An Alien Storm (Soldiers of Saedo, #4)An Alien Storm by Calla Zae
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I enjoyed this science fiction story. This is not my first book by this author but it is one of my favorites by this author yet. This is a well written story about Arkon and Vanessa. They both have a past that has burned them and deserve another chance at love. One a skilled warrior and the other a great chef. Will fate cook up some romance for these two? I enjoyed these two characters. They pulled me into the story and kept me engaged to the end. They made the story easy and entertaining to read. They are connectable and have great growth throughout. I also enjoyed their chemistry and what they brought to the story. This is a fast paced shorter story that is so worth the pick up. I really enjoyed this story and I highly recommend it.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Calla writes a variety of genres from sci-fi, fantasy, paranormal, to contemporary romance novels. I have read a few of her books and each one is totally different to the others. This book is a Sci Fi story and the visuals she brings in her writing transports you to another place. I didn’t discover until I was three quarters of the way through that this was the fourth book in the series, but I didn’t feel like I was missing out. But I will be going back and starting at the beginning of the series because I really enjoyed this book.
There is drama and suspense, danger, steamy scenes and romance. The world is well-crafted is engaging and entertaining with fully developed and endearing characters.
Vanessa has a past that has left her with scars both physically and the mentally. She has just found her slice of heaven and then she meets Arkon. Arkon can’t stop thinking about one woman who helped rescue but there is something coming that may keep these two apart.
