The Curse of a Faeblood by MK Lorber – Review by Mary Espinoza

The Curse of a FaebloodThe Curse of a Faeblood by M.K. Lorber
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I have found that the world of Fae is not only magical, it also some romance mixed in. I enjoyed the way the world was described and how it was introduced. The author did a good job of describing the world and the characters within it. The story has a way of pulling you in slowly and keeping your attention until the end. It is the perfect blend of fantasy, romance, mystery, and action. Ember and Gravyn, the story’s main characters had a connection from the beginning and it starts off rocky, but then quickly turns into a different kind of relationship. There were many different plot twists, but that just enhances where the story goes.

The Scent of Gardenias by Lorraine Haas – Review by Mary Espinoza

The Scent of GardeniasThe Scent of Gardenias by Lorraine Haas
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Oh my goodness!! This is was a page turner!! I could not put this book down! Margaret Rose, which is the main character…had lived through so much heartbreak and adversity, and still refuses to give into life’s hardships. She had a rough start in life, and continues to face many different difficulties. Through it all Margaret Rose refuses to let life bring her down, she’s determined to find a way to make her mark in this world, one way or another. I could go on and on, but I don’t want to ruin the book. Lorraine Haas outdid herself with this book. To say I enjoyed this book is an understatement, I found myself lost in this book. The Scent of Gardenias is hands down one of my new favorite books.

Manipulator’s War (Ruarnon Trilogy Book 1) by Elise Carlson – Review by Mary Espinoza

Manipulator's War (Ruarnon Trilogy, #1)Manipulator’s War by Elise Carlson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Manipulator’s War by Elise Carlson is confusing and yet entertaining. It took awhile for me to get into this book. I really had to concentrate to keep up with the story line. It’s the first book that I have ever come across where the main character is non binary, and if you’re not paying attention at first…it is a little bit confusing. You start off in one world and wind up another. This was definitely a one of a kind book.

The Cruiser (The Hustlers Trilogy Book 1) by Rowan Rossler – Review by Mary Espinoza

The Cruiser (The Hustlers Trilogy, #1)The Cruiser by Rowan Rossler
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The Cruiser ( The Hustlers Trilogy, #1) by Rowan Rossler, wrote a book that delivered 100%!! The Cruiser is a book that I found myself reading at every opportunity I could find during the day! Morgan and Vandana have a rocky beginning, but bring the fire by the end of the book! Morgan comes off as a pretentious, rich boy and Vandana is successful in her own way and her world is about to be turned upside down. There are so many details and situations that happen in the book, that it is so hard not to spoil the book! This is a must read if you like a good, steamy romance with some twists and turns. I’m looking forward to reading the rest of the books in this trilogy! Great job Rowan Rossler!

Everwood Plantation by Stacy-Deanne – Review by Mary Espinoza

Everwood County Plantation: BWWM Enemies-to-Lovers Billionaire RomanceEverwood County Plantation: BWWM Enemies-to-Lovers Billionaire Romance by Stacy-Deanne
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Everwood County Plantation: BWWM Enemies-to-Lovers Billionaire Romance was the first I’ve read by Stacy-Deanne. This short romance story was a quick read for me and I could not put it down. The chemistry buildup between the two main characters, billionaire Colton and florist Zenni, at first was quite a bit of arrogance between the two, but that quickly turns into a hot, steamy romance. They both feel something, but aren’t sure due to the fact that they are rivals on the matter of tearing down the Everwood plantation. Zenni feels that this plantation is her livelihood and her connection to her family’s past will be destroyed if the plantation is torn down, on the other hand, Colton wants to destroy the plantation and remove the physical reminder of the pain and suffering of the people who were enslaved there. Because of this, Zenni and Colton struggle to see that they have a strong and loving connection all because of the plantation’s history. Will they be able to connect for good, or is the plantation going to get in the way of their relationship? Read and find out!

Sashimi (Evil Sushi Book 2) by C.A. King – Review by Mary Espinoza

Sashimi (Evil Sushi #2)Sashimi by C.A. King
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

What can I say….C.A. King is on a roll with her series Evil Sushi! I thought that book 1, Evil Sushi was awesome, but I think that Sashimi is just as good, if not better! C.A. King knows how to mix suspense with a love story, mystery, and a little bit of horror. In her first book of the series, Evil Sushi we are introduced to Rod, Ned and Sally, well the adventure continues with Rod, Ned and Sally. Ned is still a stubborn, know it all old fisherman, Rod and Sally finally tie the knot, and Evil Sushi is still lurking out there…somewhere. The human race is on the verge of extinction, and it’s up to Rod and Ned to work with the government to figure out how to stop this “virus”. Rod and Sally’s marriage is already facing turmoil, and there’s nothing Rod can do about it at this moment. The government is working with Rod, Ned and Sally to try to find a solution, but are they really looking for a true solution, or are they just using Rod, Ned and Sally. There’s so much in this book that it is so hard not to spoil it!! I will definitely be reading the third book in the series, Wasabi.

Evil Sushi (Evil Sushi #1)Evil Sushi by C.A. King
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Evil Sushi by C.A. King….Wow! This book was truly a page turner and you never knew what to expect on the next page!! There’s a storm brewing, and it’s not very pretty! The main characters Rod, Ned and Sally definitely have no idea what they are getting themselves into when they go on a typical fishing trip and it turns into an unexpected catch…to say the least! C.A. King definitely knew how to set the plot and how to make you feel like you were in the book right next to the characters. Evil Sushi is a mixture of horror/suspense/love story. Evil Sushi kept me on my toes with the plot twisting every couple of pages. I can’t wait to read Sashimi, book 2 in the series. If I could give more than 5 stars, I would in a heartbeat!!

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

I truly and thoroughly enjoyed this book! I could not put it down!! It was a little bit of danger, mystery, and a whole lot of love! I gave this book 4 stars because I wanted more! The author did an awesome job of describing the characters, the places and emotions that the characters were feeling at the time. Vanessa and Arkon, the book’s main characters have an electrifying relationship from the very start. I won’t go into too much detail because I don’t want to spoil it for anyone! This book is definitely a must read! I look forward to reading the other books in the series.
