Ocean’s Three (Made In Heaven #2) by Elena Kincaid – Review by Kerry Baker

Ocean's Three (Made In Heaven, #2)Ocean’s Three by Elena Kincaid
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This book is the second in the series and is just as good as the first. I was pulled into the story instantly by the characters and wanted to know more about them. As with the first book, this one is a unique story that I thought it was well written. This book was certainly all about the characters. The connection they had was undeniable and I loved every part of it.
This author is still a new one to me and I am enjoying what I am reading so far. If this is what all of her books are like then she definitely has a new fan in me.

Under My Care (Chase Care Book 3) by R.L. Dunn – Review by Jenni Bishop

Under My Care Under My Care by R.L. Dunn
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Under My Care is the third book in R.L’s Chase Care series. The Chase Care series is a spin-off series from R.L. Dunn’s bestselling and one of my favourites Chase Security series.
This is a fast paced, medical romance thriller where the tension is palpable and your heart is pumping. There is action, danger and fear, suspense and worry, angst and pain, lies and secrets.

This is Pete and Rowena’s story and I am in love with the characters. He is not one to shy away from danger and jumping in at the deep end. Always there to help others. She is the holder of secrets. But what happens when their paths collide? What secrets can a blizzard reveal?

I am not going to ruin the story you need to discover all on your own.

As always, I look forward to what is next book from Robin.

Under My Care
By: R.L. Dunn

This story is so good! This is a book that sucks you in and does not let you go until the very end. This story is told from the points of view of Peter and Rowena. They have a long history together that goes back from Afghanistan. This book is filled with romance and twists and turns. I have to say that I am a sucker for a good medical drama both on television and in books. This book series reminds me of all my favorite medical dramas I watch on tv. I definitely recommend this for anyone who is a fan of medical dramas because this contains all of the best elements.

The Romanov Heiress
By: Jennifer Laam

This is such a wonderful story. As a child, I loved the animated movie of Anastasia and really have been pretty interested in the story of the Romanov family. So of course I saw this book and knew that I had to read this and it definitely did not disappoint. I love how this is an alternative events timeline as if the girls had escaped and how they escaped. I loved how they managed to escape and stay hidden. I also loved the tales of Olga and all that she did. This really is an amazing historical fiction story that I truly recommend. I read through it so quickly and did not want it to end.

The Romanov HeiressThe Romanov Heiress by Jennifer Laam
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Jennifer’s love of writing comes in the form of writing Russian historical fiction. The Romanov Heiress is her fourth published book and the first book I have read by her. The real history of the Romanov family is a sad tale. One full of heartache and heartbreak. One full of secrets and lies. The Romanov family was the last imperial dynasty to rule Russia.
Jennifer has weaved a most intriguing plot based on Russian history through a fascinating fictional story. Full of interesting twists and turns every step of the way. Dangers lurking around every corner, lost heirs, greed, political power struggles, ambitions, romance, secrets and lies.
There are many emotional elements in this tale with lots of palpable tension, angst frustrations, scared, betrayal and fear where the Romanov’s lives are in turmoil, lives have been destroyed and the future is uncertain.
Now in hiding after running for their lives Olga tries to reconcile the past and what she thought she knew. But she uncovers so much she no longer knows which way is up or down. Through all this she must keep what is left of their family safe at all costs.
It was and intriguing and interesting to read. If you like historical fiction you will like this.

Well once again I have come across a great book for children. I have read a fair few of this author’s works and this was yet again a great one. I love how she is able to get the kids attention and create a world where they are not just reading but learning. The author does a great job of making a good environment and story for children. I just wish my children were younger. I truly highly recommend these books from this author.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

If you’ve read my any of my reviews, you know that historical fiction is my absolute most favorite genre to read. This book did not disappoint at all!

Jennifer Laam is a new-to-me author and I thoroughly enjoyed how she weaved together this story of the Grand Duchesses of the Romanov family. Their harrowing escape by a generous benefactor is the beginning of this story and will lead you until these ladies can finally breath somewhat again. This is a time period that I’m not as familiar with but I feel that the story was captured fairly accurately in terms of the history. I can’t imagine having to live as Olga and her sisters had to in order to survive. Their story is beautifully tragic and I look forward to reading the next book in their adventures together.

This is my first book by this author which I enjoyed from beginning to end. I look forward to seeing what is next for her. I enjoyed how she used her writing skills to pull me into the story with ease. Her characters made the story easy to read and had me coming back for more. They have great growth and add so much to the story. This is a fast paced, suspenseful historical story that is hard to put down. A story about four sisters along with dark secrets and a relationship that is even darker. I enjoyed the suspense and the twists and turns that had me sitting on the edge of my seat. This is a story you don’t want to miss. A well developed story that is engaging and entertaining to read. I highly recommend this book.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This was a gripping historical fiction story. The author had done a amazing job with researching the era and all the attention to detail really brought the story to life and made me feel like I was experiencing that time period along with the characters.
This is a story full of danger, Suspense a chance of romance and secrets that will be revealed over time. How are you meant to react when you find yourself falling for someone who is the enemy? Why are they the enemy in the first place? And what connection is there to the Romanova sisters family.

The Romanova sisters have escaped with their lives and moved to England. Olga is the eldest sister and its her job to protect her younger sisters but being in isolation is putting pressure on their relationships. Now the sisters must navigate a new place and start a new life all the while protecting their identities.
When Olga find out that her mother is thought to have given secrets to the enemy she goes undercover as a maid to try and discover the truth about her mum and what her actions mean for the sisters.
This is a gripping read that keeps you on the edge of your seat as the secrets get reveled. I loved the historical detail as it really brings the story to life.

This is the fourth book in this series which is just as great as the previous three books. I highly suggest reading the previous books in this series to help your enhancement of this series and the characters. This is a series that I have enjoyed reading from the first book and this one is no different. This is a well written story where the author has created characters that not only pull you into their world but make their story come to life. A story where there are battles and unexpected allies but are they true or another obstacle to stop Lane from going home. This is a great story that is fast paced and hard to put down. A story where it will take you on an adventure that just keeps going with hopes of going home. This is one of my favorites of the series for sure. I really enjoyed reading this book and I highly recommend it.

Under My Care pulls you in so quickly that you forget you are reading and not part of the action. There are points of view from Peter and Rowena. The story has everything and I do mean everything. An action packed love story full of emotions. Add to that the biggest snow storm right as all hell breaks loose. This book was everything. Your emotions will vary throughout. I may have cried a lot. I didn’t want to put it down or it to end and was glad it was long enough to get everything out. I loved it.

Braving Lily (True Platinum, #5)Braving Lily by Morgana Bevan
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This was a good story of opposite worlds colliding. Lily, lead singer of Brightside auctions off a date with herself for charity. When the recipient of the date fails to appear multiple times, Lily sets off to find why she was stood up. Rhys, the blind date recipient via his mother, refuses to go because his mindset for the rich and famous don’t allow him to see beyond the surface. Upon finally meeting, the two share a chemistry that neither expected and both must be will to make concessions for the other. Lily fears Rhys will be persuaded by tabloid cover stories and Rhys begins to fear Lily is too big of a star for his dreams.
This story was very sweet with a wonderful cast of characters. It takes us on a journey of how far love will let us go if we are faced with the scrutiny of the public eye and the misconceptions that tabloids present. Also, Rhys’s niece Sienna, is an absolutely adorable!

I’m pretty biased on this book because I absolutely love this series due to the plot. Morrigan is a fave of mine and these books are always beautifully written. Well worth the read if you are a fan of deities and like to have some spice to your books. I am still missing a few of the books in this series but even skipping one I did not get lost in reading Rogue. Best Celtic mythology fiction books I’ve had the honor of reading. You’ll fall in love with Baz and Delaney and question everything.

I read this book in two days, hard with 3 kids but enjoyed reading it so much that I could not put it down. It’s a hate to love romance and the first one in the series. Cash and Hollis are next door rivals and play pranks on each other. It’s very entertaining to see how they interact and how the story unfolds. I can’t wait for the next book. My new favorite series.

Frozen By Lies (Sleigh Riders Book 1)Frozen By Lies by Martha Sweeney
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Frozen By Lies is the first book in the Sleigh Riders series. It’s perfect if you’re after a paranormal romance that will get you in a festive mood! There’s snow and hot chocolate and everyone has appropriately festive names, but refreshingly it isn’t too cutesy. It’s decidedly an adult book and there’s conflict and animosity as well as romance and magic.

Noelle is a fun protagonist! Proactive and determined, she won’t let matters rest and is ready to stand up to her protective cousins. I also like Grandma Sapphria who stands out from the rest of Noelle’s family as sympathetic and supportive.

This book gets four stars from me. I’m looking forward to the next book in the series – hopefully it will be out in time to enjoy next holiday season.

The ThievesThe Thieves by Susan Specht Oram
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The Thieves is book two in the Millersville series and while I enjoyed the book, I did not like it as much as Shore Lodge. The premise of the story focuses on Jasmine, who needs quite a large sum of money for her father’s failing health. With limited options, she turns to questionable (and criminal) methods. Along the way, other criminals get involved as well. When Jas and Paul pull off the perfect heist, they think everything is in the clear…until another pair of criminals robs them and leaves them with nothing. Bets and Zerk are wanting to retire from their life of crime, and underestimate the determination of Jas to save her father….The book is written from the two POVs of Jas and Bets, so the chapters will rotate between the two. I liked that the characters were both liked and disliked, and that made them feel a bit more realistic to read. I feel like this book ended too soon, and that may be part of my four star rating, but again, it was not a bad read and I enjoyed the unique story.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Dr Frank Enstein has become the best in his field of Plastic Surgery so when an opportunity comes along to lead his very own trauma clinic for burns he is ready for the challenge. Although leaving the cosy world of private practice for the riggers of a hospital he is determined to make this work as this is a cause close to his heart.

Once meeting his new colleagues he is invited to go out after work, not really a very social person but is spirited along, until he meets the buxom beauty behind the bar but when she approaches him with a question he immediately ends up with the wrong conclusion embarrassing him and her.

Barbara has had the literal weight on her back, although some people see them as beauties, she sees them as uncomfortable, back breaking and down right horrendous. So when she met Frank and hope he was the answer to her prays as soon as he opened his mouth it all feel away, but when the good lucking Doctor comes back and apologies to her and gives her a name of a friend to help her with her breast reduction they start becoming more than friends.

I loved this story, this is the second book I have read in this series and this does not disappoint. At first I thought that Frank was a bit of an arse but as you get to see the interaction with Barbara through the story you get to know his story and start to warm to the character. As a buxom woman as well I instantly bonded with the character of Barbara and the issues she faced on a daily basis but her sassy, strong character was a dream to read.

The story although short was well written and follow beautifully toward the happily ever after that happened. I would recommend this book and can’t wait to read more in the series.

This super cute debut novel by KL Small was the perfect book for middle grade fantasy lovers. It was entertaining and well-written, which makes it excellent for capturing the attention of younger readers. There was also a lot of character development for the MC, Zarina, who was the selfish princess and the 13th child of the king and queen. When she and her aunt go to a dressmaker in the middle of the woods and she makes a deal for a magic dress, the adventure begins. I definitely think this is a book that will bring pleasure to it’s intended target age group.
