Faithful in Love (Cliff Walk Cousins Book 1) by Cecily K. Wolfe – Review by Angela Hayes

Faithful in Love (Cliff Walk Cousins, #1)Faithful in Love by Cecily K. Wolfe
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

 

4 Stars

 

Faithful in Love is the first book in the Cliff Walk Cousins trilogy by Cecily K. Wolfe. It is an historical Christian romance, with some drama, angst, obstacles, jealousy, belief, and family connections.
This is the first book that I have read from this author, so I really didn’t know what to expect from her work- but I was intrigued enough to want to find out what she could do. I now understand that this trilogy is a spin-off from the Cliff Walk Courtship series, but I didn’t feel like I was missing anything by not having read that series first. So, this can be read as a standalone. Having said that, I will probably go back and read the original series, at some stage, just to find out what happens there.
We meet Faith Davenport as she develops feelings for her uncle’s apprentice. But things get complicated when Nico faces prison.
If you love Christian romance with a historical atmosphere, inspirational content, a sweet story with a little drama, and characters with substance- then this is definitely the story for you.
Happy Reading!

Thank you, Cecily K. Wolfe!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This was the first book I’ve read from this author. It was a good book, definitely a slow burn. Both main characters have pasts that they would rather keep hidden. Grace is more open than Ian. Ian is tall, dark, hot and mysterious. He is also the arrogant man that we all hate to love.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I really enjoyed this book. It isn’t my normal choice of genre however I really enjoyed it and found I couldn’t put it down. The author does an amazing job of creating the apocalyptic world our characters are in. The descriptions are so well written you actually feel like you are there experiencing it all first hand.

There is a virus that is running the world taking over all the people turning them into zombies. Everywhere Baron goes he finds villages dead or full of zombies. Baron had learn to survive in this hostile world. All he wants to do is lay low and avoid getting infected.
His plans change however when he finds himself captured by a woman who is immortal. As they travel trying to flee the zombies and get to safety Baron realises that this woman could be the key to ending this virus that is taking over the world

This story is fast paced and very entertaining. You get a real feeling of being scared and running for you life through these characters. If you love zombies and apocolypse stories then this is definstely a read for you.

Seductively Yours (Titans of Manhattan Book 3) by Anise Storm – Review by Jules Herbert

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

Oh these Titans have me hooked! Strong powerful characters who have their hearts awakened by equally strong women. It is just so much fun to see these guys fall and fall hard.
This time it is Mason who will fall for the beautiful Rhyann. Their attraction is immediate and burns hot, a nameless one night stand follows and that is it… or so they thought. Next thing you know Rhyann is applying for a job and guess who the boss is…her super hot one night stand!! At first the last thing Mason wants to do is employ her but decides to give her a chance. Maybe that will help kill his attraction because he never gets involved with employees. Of course Mason fights it with all his might but eventually he gives in to the fact that the heart wants what the heart wants!!
This is such a creative, well written story where you are drawn into the world of the characters and feel their emotions just as much as they do. I can’t wait to read the next Titans downfall!

Seductively Yours (Titans Of Manhattan, #3)Seductively Yours by Anise Storm
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Rhyann has everything she has ever dreamed of, a scholarship to one of the renown Ballet Schools in the country, but as she get there and starts her studies she is becoming increasingly worried about the costs raising from moving to New York.

So when her roommate suggests for extra money pole dancing at a local club, she decides it the best option for her to do what she loves, dancing and earn extra money.

Mason is one of the biggest people in New York, he owns a successful club and is consider one of the most eligible bachelors there is, he can have his pick of any girl/women who throws themselves at him but one night he is attracted to one of the new dancers but she seems familiar to him. It is only when he comes face to face with her does he realise its the woman he had one night with and can not get out of his head.

But it is wise mixing business with pleasure?

This is not the first book I have read by this author and oh my this will not be the last, although this book is part of a series you each book is it’s own stand alone story but if I was you and go nd read them all as you will not be disappointed.

I love the way the book unfolds and weaves through the budding relationship and with the realisation that these two people are destined to be together. The character in all the books are well developed and offer a great depth and another element to the story. The chemistry between the two characters is off the page and I love the way you uncover the romance with each turn of the page.

The two main characters are written in a way that they compliment each other, with the secondary characters adding another layer to the story. I really enjoyed the character of Rhyann as a fierce independent women trying to make her own way through the city it was just a refreshing read.

I can not wait for the next instalment as to be fair anything written by this author is gold.

The Killer Jack Mystery (The J.D. Pierson Case Files)The Killer Jack Mystery by C.H. Sessums
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Everyone is having a hard time keeping their businesses going during the depression and P.I. business is no exception. While her father has turned to the bottle J.D. is doing her best to keep his business going. When a call comes from her uncle who has been in prison Jenny can’t lie to him. He’s family and you always help family. When a necklace comes up missing and her cousin is murdered Jenny is on the hunt to find the suspect before he disappears and ends up committing another murder. Will she be able to find the necklace and the culprit?

This was a good mystery and a quick read. It draws you in from the beginning and keeps you turning the pages. I’m finding that I don’t have a lot of time to read a whole lot these days due to my crazy work schedule, but books like this are worth saying one more page no matter how early my alarm is set.

Until there was youUntil there was you by G. Colgrove
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

 

4 Stars

 

Until There Was You by G. Colgrove is a contemporary romance with an opposites attract element, chemistry, emotion, humour, drama, family dynamics, snobbery, obstacles, and plenty of sizzle.
Regan doesn’t believe in fairytale romances- they are just make-believe. She has her sights on accomplishing her goals and nothing will get in her way…
Jeremy also has his sights set on achieving his dream of proving he is ready to take over the family business….
What happens when fate throws these two together? Will their focus on fulfilling their goals cost them a chance at love? This is definitely worth the read to find out.
Happy reading!

Thank you, G. Colgrove!

Seductively Yours is the third book in the Titans of Manhattan series by Anise Storm. I know I keep saying this, but the series really does get better with each new release.
This story is a hot and steamy contemporary romance with plenty of sizzling chemistry, angst, emotion, and much more. I jumped right in as soon as this book hit my Kindle and didn’t come up for air until I had devoured every word.
I loved Mason and Rhyann- I was completely invested in them and the outcome of their story right from the beginning. Even though there were times I wanted to shake them and tell them to get their act together- I might have yelled that at my Kindle a few times- I really did love their story. I can’t wait to find out more about the other Titans as they get their own books!
Fantastic series!
Happy reading!

Thank you, Anise Storm!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

A twisty romantic fantasy Fairytale which combines three fairy tales together, the sleeping beaty, the twelve swans and The whipping boy. A witch curses the king and his heir because she did not get what she wanted. The boy is sent to live with an old woman and her boy, who believes the prince was his brother. He is the whipping boy who takes the beating for the prince, the one who secretly tends to a magic swan whom his brother wounded, and finally ends up rescuing a sleeping beauty whom he falls in love with and eventually lives happily ever after.

This book is like a recap of many fairy tales. There are twists and turns, but overall you can relate back to the original fairy tales. I enjoyed the book.

This was a great 5 star read. I was pulled in right from the beginning and excited to start this new MC series.

Francis, he is a firefighter and an MC member. He has scars inside and out that he is dealing with. Grace is trying to lay low and live life hidden as best as she can. Her ex is part of an MC that she wants no part of and her son Damien is adorable.

When Francis meets Grace there is something about her that pulls him right in. Will he open up to Grace about his past? What will happen when he learns Grace’s secret?

Overall I really enjoyed this read. My emotions were all over the place. All of the characters added a great element to the story, a few of them tugged at my heart strings. I loved Damien.

This story is so cute, so sweet and oh so sexy. Another first book for me by this new to me author and I cannot wait to read more by her. I actually laughed out loud at some of Sophie Smith’s antics. I love the way the author writes this book as if the main character, Sophie, is telling the story. Her side comments, like we are inside her head, are hilarious. Easily turned page after page. I also loved the other main character of G, I call my husband G, so funny. I loved “watching” how they grew throughout the entire story, as if that was the major reason for the story.

Rourke is in 7th grade and is riddled with anxiety. He’s got some mysterious neighbors, twin younger sisters, an autistic older brother, and parents who always say “it’s fine”. He is in a constant state of worry about different things but especially his brother. You’d think with this being a YA book geared towards middle school readers, it would be funny and lighthearted but it is definitely deeper than that. Although still a wonderful read for this age group, it is great for adults as well. It was a stark reminder that all of us have our own internal struggles, especially children. It’s so easy to think children live carefree but they have things in their everyday lives that can cause worry and anxiety just like adults. I definitely recommend this book for young and older adults. It really helps put some things into perspective.

Francis N Stein, with a name like that you would expect him to be part of the Grimm Wolves MC but what you don’t expect, is a man with a big heart. Francis is a lost soul who really doesn’t have a lot of faith in humanity. His own parents torched him. Francis is also a firefighter who befriends a young student who has been torched as an infant as well. Situations and circumstances wither through Francis and Damien’s mom Grace together that the two can not deny the chemistry between each other but at what cost??

Helm of Awe (Anchoress Series #3)Helm of Awe by D.L. Armillei
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Book three of this series starts off with Van hiding in a wooded area, taking cover while she determines her next move in the Jaychund Games.  As the Anchoress and a senior, she is the final contestant remaining in the games except for the unwanted guest, Suixsha.

As the author described the importance of the games, the cameras in the trees and the event being streamed for everyone to see, I truly felt a bit of a Hunger Game vibe.  Van over-analyzed the situation as usual and allowed her emotions to get the best of her.  So upon coming face to face with her opponent, Suixsha, she allowed her anger to control her and Suixsha took advantage.

Of course, book three could not be complete without sending Van off onto another mission, all while she tries to deal with her internalized feelings for the Balish prince, Ferox and seeing her BFF Paley, endlessly and shamelessly flirting with her ex, Brux.  Bloodline legacies, Elemental rules, a heavy hand of fate and Grigori warrior expectations are a lot for Van to shoulder on top of the fact that she remains a typical emotional and hormonal teenager.

I know fluffy little Wiglaf does not receive enough attention in this series, but can we all agree that having a cute little Wiglaf of your own would be incredible?

Van experiences visions or internal discussions with the spirit, Jacynthia, who ultimately behaves like a guiding light when it comes to dealing with her feelings or questions regarding the circumstances of her life.  She provides Van with honest and true guidance without telling her specifically what she should do, allowing Van to make her own decisions.

The author provided us with a great delivery of imagery, plot, and character building in this book.  I truly hope she continues to write books within this series because I’m enjoying the characters and the action thus far.  Each book of this series has been page turners and captivates you from the start.  I think this is my favorite book so far although I think that after reading each one.  They continue to get better and better, if that is possible.

I enjoyed this book and am bummed that I finished it.  Until book number 4?  Fingers crossed.

I give this book 5 of 5 stars!

My rating: 3 of 5 stars

I have a lot of thoughts surrounding Behemoth but I can say I enjoyed the book overall and I do look forward to reading on in
the series. There were segments in the book where I felt like I was missing something, it was eluded that Francis could
often tell someone’s thoughts- even his brothers knew this but I never truly understood the context. I thought a couple times that I must have zoned out when reading and missed the backstory. The only other “criticism” I would have is that I expected a lot more “action” throughout the entire story line.
All of that said… the characters are FANTASTIC. Grace, Stitch and even the secondary characters tugged at my heart strings. I am really excited to see what this author and series has to offer because I am anxious to learn more and be involved in the inevitable character development. The book was a pretty fast read and did keep my attention. I would definitely recommend it if you like motorcycle clubs and relatable characters.

This story is a whole lot of sexy and steamy, sizzling and thrilling and enticing happening that makes it hard to set aside. There are a lot of emotions and times of angst. It makes it easy to become invested in the characters and their stories. I love a story that is told from several POV’s because you get a much deeper concept for who the characters are.
Mason has a strict policy that works well for him and what he wants but a temptress steps through his doors that puts all the others to shame.
I have read many of Anise’s books and I have enjoyed each one immensely.

It was a uniquely spun supernatural tale that kept me reading. Now onto Grace. I loved her and her adorable child. I loved the chemistry between all the characters. I did enjoy this book.

Behemoth (Grimm Wolves MC Book 1) by D.M. Earl
3 Stars

My favourite books to read are paranormal romances. I also enjoy a good MC romance. This book is a blend of both. Despite having a traumatic childhood, Francis a.k.a Stitch grew up to be a gentle giant. At 6’5 full of scars, he’s intimidating. Even after all the cruelty that his parents bestowed upon him, he still has a heart of gold. He always felt like he was split in two. Being a firefighter and part of an MC, satisfies both parts of him. Growing up unloved, Francis never thought that he would find his one true love until he met Grace. One fateful day, Damian walked into his life and through him, Grace. They fill his life with something he never knew he was missing.

I thought the story was good and the characters were so lovable but I had a few issues with this book. Francis had some special abilities that were never really explained. Was he born with them? Did they appear because of the experiments his parents performed on him? Damian had similar abilities which were never explained as well. How does he have them? Did Grace never realize that he had them? Their relationship from day one was perfect. They met, fell in love and their future was set. Yes there were some bumps caused by Grace’s past but their relationship never suffered. It was unrealistic.

I was very disappointed that there were no wolf shifters in the MC. Their name is the Grimm Wolves and the book is supposed to have a paranormal twist. The title is misleading. My biggest issue is the ending. It just stops. It’s not really a cliffhanger but the story doesn’t end. For me, this book is just a set up for the rest of the series. Which is fine, I’ll still read the rest. I just wasn’t expecting this book to end the way that it did.
