Unraveling an Enigma (Enigma #2)Unraveling an Enigma by Shandi Boyes
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

And then there are some books that make you say WTF did I just read! How can it “end” like that!? Why Shandi Boyes, WHY?!? That’s how I felt after finishing this book!

OMG what a better story line this one has but with the same intensity as book one. I really felt like book one was just about Isaac and Isabelle’s uncontrollable sex life, but I can now see it was the building up for THIS BOOK! This story continues off right where book one, Enigma of Life left off. Isaac and Isabelle have been separated by the truth that Isabelle is an FBI agent and she may have withheld that information from Isaac. He finds out when she has to arrest him. The chemistry these two have is just as hot as ever but because Isaac gets arrested there is way less sex! Book one was over the top with it, which made my feelings for the characters just so so. This book there is a little more “unraveling” of the characters’ personalities and actual character, making me love them both! And then there is this enlightenment for me:

“It is hard to explain, but this is us, we show our affection through sexual contact. Our love, our desires, our needs, they are all reflected in the most intimate ways.”

This was the eye opening into Isaac and Isabelle’s fast paced relationship that I needed. My feelings about book one changes a little with this statement. I found this book was much harder to put down than book one. ~Darn 9-5 job!~ I can not wait to see what Boyes brings to the next book. I definitely recommend this book but only after reading the first one.

Enigma of Life (Enigma #1)Enigma of Life by Shandi Boyes
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This story would have easily been a five star if there had actually been a little less sex! (I can’t believe I just wrote that!) But really. Our main characters are Isaac Holt and Isabelle Brahn. And boy oh boy do they have a lot of sex together. Bathrooms, airplanes, counters, cars. Yeah a lot of sex. They also have a lot of secrets from each other. I’m not really sure how I feel about these two. There is no denying the chemistry and lust they have but do they have more than that? Can they really have a relationship in the true sense of the word?

“His mouth-watering scent invades my senses and spurns on my pursuit to offer him comfort in the only way I know how. Sexually.”

I think even Isabelle hopes there is more to them. “I know my relationship with Isaac could be construed as only being based on lust and attraction.”

I liked the feeling while I was reading that something big was going to happen. There are a few characters mentioned and situations referred to that could add up to a big explosion in the end.
Did I mention the sex? There’s a lot of it. I’m worried about what happens when their work lives meet their private lives. It seems the secrets that they keep from each other may just be the ultimate downfall or that big explosion in the end. Isaac says “If you are going to be accused of something, you may as well do it.” To me this is a little foreboding and may actually be the catalyst to the explosion!

Just when I thought the “relationship” might turn into something a little more than just very hot sex, like maybe a happily ever after, real life meets work life, which equals the end of this book! GRRRR!! And BOOM! Shandi Boyes certainly had me turning the pages as fast as I could!

Definitely only for those readers over 18. Quickly moving onto book two to find out what happens with these two!

Possession (Blue Line, #2)Possession by Brandy Ayers
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Officer Bryan Coy loves woman but very rarely more than once. Yes, he was definitely a flirt, a playboy, as long as there is willing woman, the badge bunnies at the Blue Line Bar than he is your man. Officer Coy was first assigned to traffic duty on a street where cars used to race through, to stop those speeding cars to shut the woman up. She would not stop complaining, but the reason for the complaints was definitely a good one. Even though the offenders have stopped he can not pull himself away and stop coming round. Most of the other officers give him grief but what they don’t know is that he would take this any day cause the woman in question has found a way into his heart. She just doesn’t know it yet.

Lexis Johannes was left high and dry but her ex but she is content with her life. She has spent the last 6 years dedicating herself to her son, Ashton and he is worth every sacrifice, no men, no sex, just 100 percent Ashton. But all that changed when Officer Coy started showing up on her curb. Now she feels things she has not felt for years. After flirting and asking her out is she ready to make that leap of faith? Being burnt once has left her terrified of dating and letting a man in their lives.

Will Lexis relent and take Officer Coy up on his offer? Can she let a man in her life?

This book as all the trimmings and then some, action, drama, mystery and suspense. With a hot man in uniform there is lots of hot and passionate sex scenes. The characters are sizzling. I enjoyed the first book to this serious but loved this one. Can’t wait for the next installment.

Playing for Love (Playing Series, Book 2)Playing for Love by Ashlie Knapp
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Cassie is studying hard to be a teacher, in fact she is nearly finished her study and is getting class time which she is loving. Teaching is her calling and her students adore her.

Jamal Jenkins had to grow up fast as a teenager, much sooner than someone that age should have to do. He is the point guard for the Thunder basketball team and is good at it. He is in the lime light and is portrayed as a player, a ladies man, a womaniser but if only they knew. Jamal would like nothing more than to live a quiet life with his family, his friends, with the people he loves. Jamal finds himself thinking of more than his next game, more than his responsibilities, he is distracted in a way he never thought was possible for him, something or someone is getting under his skin.

Can Jamal convince Cassie believe that he is a good guy? Can he convince her that he can be trusted? Will Cassie finally give in to her heart and finally trust the man before her? Will Cassie finally find love? Will Cassie’s secret finally catch up to her?

Ashlie Knapp has written another good story. The characters make you feel with them, laugh with them, cry with them. You feel a connection with each one of them and drawn into the story with them. Well worth the read.

Molly Rye is the coffee Queen, if it’s not on the menu it soon will be. With the speed and flourish of the new flavours she constantly come up with are always a hit and leaves people wanting more of her special blends. You want a coffee with a peppermint twist? No problem. You want a coffee with hazelnut twirl, she’s your girl. Molly works with her bestie and has her motley crue of feisty, quirky and opinionated customers that make her day complete. Seeing them satisfied and happy is not only her bread and butter, they are as necessary as the air she breathes, they have become her family, and she would do anything for them as they would for her.

Kellan and his three best friends since forever have finally made their dream come true. The dream of them coming together and opening the Powerhouse Martial Arts studio. Teaching others their passion is what they love to do. Making a success is a given, failing is not in their vocabulary for these Alpha males. They spent years honing their skill sets, hours and hours of practice and continuous competitions have made them what they are today. Kellan wants an easy life and would give anything if he could spend a week in his bed not having to worry about anything.

When Molly decides to visit the boys at the Martial Arts Studio to ask them to keep all the noise down, a perfectly reasonable request, right? she got more than she bargained for.

When Kellan and the boys hear what this woman from next door wants his life is turned upside down. What she wants is unreasonable, right?

Coffee, Karate, sassy females and Alpha males at it’s best. What more could you want? Will they learn to live with each other? Will the feud ever end? Who will win the battle of wills?

I must say this book is a fun read. The characters had me laughing at their crazy antics, their feisty bantering and incredible chemistry, not to mention a dash of romance. A good read that I recommend to all.

Waiting to Breathe (Waiting Duet, #1)Waiting to Breathe by Alyson Reynolds
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Olivia Crawford’s life has been forever changed, she has been to hell and is trying to find her way back. One step forward, two steps back, this has been her life for so long she doesn’t know how to live any more. For someone so young she has had to experience for far longer than she should have. Being away for so long without support was one of the hardest things she has had to endure. Here she is on her first day at SCU and she is wondering how she will survive it but for her twin brother Finn, she is willing to try. However when a part of the past turns up it turns her world upside down. The walls that were coming down brick by brick are now firmly back in place.

Nathaniel Ford is studying hard at SCU, his past has made him decide what he wants from his future. He live in a frat house with his best friend, Finn, his frat Brothers and he has the best of friends. He is from old money but that doesn’t rule his life. He has known tragedy and his family life is not what it what appears from the outside looking in. Nate and his mates literally run into an angel and from that moment on his life is changed forever. This angel is sassy and feisty but at the same time broken and he has never wanted anything more in his life.

Can Nate break down Olivia’s walls and show her what a real life looks like. Can Olivia let another person in? Can she trust enough to share her secret and all that it involves or will the ghosts from the past stop that from happening? Will Olivia believe the worst and push everyone away, just when she needs them the most? Can Olivia get over a betrayal? Will Nate lose it all?

I enjoyed the story and it held my interest. The story flowed well and it was emotional but sweet. There is a little suspense and some action, at times I wanted to slap some sense into the main female character but all in all the author created a story where you will find yourself being drawn into their world.

Road-Tripped (Ad Agency #1) by Nicole Archer – Review by Sheri Schrader

Road-Tripped (Ad Agency #1)Road-Tripped by Nicole Archer
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Road-tripped by Nicole Archer is the first in the Ad Agency Series. The story is about copywriter Callie Murphy and Shimura’s advertising manwhore Walker Rhodes. The two have ended up on a cross-country trip in an RV for a client’s ad campaign. Callie is brash, has a bad attitude, and does not like Walker or his good looks. Walker thinks that this will be the trip from hell versus time to find his passion for photography again. Can the two get along and survive for the two-month trip?
The characters are great in this story. Callie is small but fierce. She has been hurt in the past and does not want to let anyone in especially Walker. Walker is handsome and a Southern gentleman. All the women love being around him. Is there more to Walker than Callie can see? The development of the characters is good and reminds us not to judge a book by its cover, or a person. I could relate to Callie and her having to deal with people after her past experiences. Walker is great and is artistic and fun.
The two are fun and engaging. I enjoyed the story and could not put it down, while led to a long night. Ms. Archer pulled me into a fun story and I look forward to reading the next books in the series. After reading the book I want to take a cross-country road trip myself to see what all the fun is about.

Head-Tripped (Ad Agency #2)Head-Tripped by Nicole Archer
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Head-tripped by Nicole Archer is the second in the Ad Agency Series. This book can be read as a standalone novel. This story is about violinist, Effie Murphy and Elias aka “El Love”, a rock star. Effie has moved to New York City to rebuild her life. She is having a tough go of it. While doing a favor for a friend she runs into Elias. She has no idea who he is, even though he is a well-known rock star. Something about Effie catches his attention and he is intrigued by her.
After a fantastic weekend of music writing with Effie, Elias must leave town. His band is going on tour in Europe and he knows that he will not be seeing Effie again. When the two cross paths again the sparks are lit. Some of the characters are from the first book in the series so if you read the first book the reappearance of characters will be even more enjoyable.
I was so excited to get my hands on this book. The characters are fun and sexy. I felt for Effie as she must make tough decisions. Elias is great and very human. He is realistic and struggling with how to handle his relationship with Effie and stardom. I could not wait to find out how they would handle all the challenges of love and Elias’s rock stardom. I tore through it as quickly as the first book. I look forward to reading more of Nicole Archer’s books.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

She doesn’t know who she is, she has no memories of a life she may have had before. No memories of a family or friends. No memory of a home or work. She has no memory of or sense of herself. What type of person she was, all she has is a name given, Keenan. She has the same nightmare but none of it has any meaning. Since the accident no one has come forward to claim her. Did she have no one or did they not care? After spending weeks of waiting for memories to return she decides it’s time to take hold of her life and make it mean something, make it a new life. After deciding she needs to feel again she needs to take charge of herself, she needs something more. As she steps out into the night and into a club she finds more than she bargained for, a mysterious stranger that makes her feel, a voice that makes her tingle, a touch that makes her forget, this is what she needs. Just one night to let everything go but after he left she felt lost and alone once more.

Rush has his brother and his club. A club where anything goes. A club full of women, men and sex but he doesn’t ever touch, his rule, besides they don’t offer the relief he likes. But when she walked into the club he knew he could not stay away, he had to have her, he had to touch her, he had to have a taste of her. But one touch, one taste and it wasn’t enough, he broke his one rule and had to walk away. After all hell broke loose he couldn’t stay away, he had to see her. Had to make sure she was ok. From that one night, when trouble walked through his door, he was thrown back into a world he never wanted to go back to. A world that hurt the people he loves, a world of pain and torture but for all that he would do anything to keep those he loves safe, he would do anything for those he cares about.

I enjoyed the way I was drawn into this story and I didn’t want to put it down. There are lots of twists and turns that you won’t see coming. I loved all the characters and they provided just the right amount of levity and I loved the way the friends had each other backs. It is a romance with a different twist.

Omorrow (Ascenders #3)Omorrow by C.L. Gaber
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Ascenders: Omorrow is the third book in C. L. Gaber’s Ascenders Saga. I personally do not think that it should/could be read as a standalone! There is so much that we have learnt about all of the main characters and the dynamics between and among them and their motivation in the first two books and you would totally lose out on that!
I have to say that so far Omorrow has been my absolute favorite out of the three. I do NOT know where the writer finds her inspiration, her imagination simply blows me away with every single page! I am telling you, I cannot wait for the next book! She has left me in a limbo, again, waiting for my next fix!
This story runs you through a gamut of emotions – I cried, a lot, I laughed, I raged, I feared, I …. Well, you get the picture … This books keeps you on the edge of your seat, literally, and you will NOT leave before you have finished it AND then end comes way too early …
This is a continuing story of Walker and Daniel and their friends and foes where they continue on their journey to finish the mission given to them by the Higher Authority. You will find out if you know your history and historical figures, it is such a fun to go and say, hi, I know who she means!
I love how the writer has created such a strong character (and female role model) in Walker, I kept falling more in love with her with every chapter. Daniel is nothing to sneeze at either. The writer has given us a super couple with a fantastic set of friends.
I recommend this series to anyone, doesn’t matter if you are young or old, everyone will find something (actually a lot) to enjoy!

Cecilia and Tyreese: A Short Story (UNDER GROUND #0.4)Cecilia and Tyreese: A Short Story by Alice Rachel
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Cecilia and Tyreese: A Short Story (Under Ground #0.4) by Alice Rachel is part of the Under Ground series. I would highly recommend that you read the previous books in this story so that you have some background information that would be helpful. In this book we get to see how Cecilia got where she is today. This story is about falling in love with the wrong person. This story has some suspense and of course you can’t forget some romance. You will enjoy how this author can create a story with characters that you will be able to connect to and relate to. The way she is able to create characters that are futuristic but yet true to life is great. You will enjoy how this story will pull you in from the first word and keep you engaged until the end. Find out what Cecilia’s story is.

Cecilia is a young girl who has better things to do then to fall for a boy. Will her heart have other plans? Then one day while at the library she runs into him, he is staring at her. She is a little feisty with him but that doesn’t seem to make a difference to him. Will she finally let go of her feelings and let her heart take over? What will she do when she is forced to make some difficult choices?

Tyreese is a young boy who meets a girl at the library and is fascinated by her. He is determined that she gets to know him. What happens when she finally does give in? Do they have a chance at happiness? Will an enemy take revenge and take the upper hand? How long will his love last?

Cecilia and Tyreese’s relationship is one that is forbidden. You can’t always help who you fall in love with which is what happens here. But what happens with these two will make you want to see more of them. There are many twists and turns with these two that you will need to see what happens with them. They are both strong characters that grow through the story. They both know what they want and aren’t afraid to break the rules to get what they want. But how many rules will they break and will it put them both in danger? Is there happiness in their future?

This is one of my favorite series that I have read. Alice Rachel has given us many different characters but they all relate to each story and each other. I can’t wait to read the next book in this series. Alice loves spending time with her husband and guinea pigs. When she is not writing, she teaches French, reading and drawing. You will enjoy how this story will pull you into this world that you will lose track of time. I read this story in one sitting because I found it hard to put down. This story is fast paced and will keep you reading until the end. I highly recommend this story as I know you will want to read the next installment of this series as much as I did.

Keenan is a blank slate. After the accident, she woke up with amnesia. The doctors said she should remember something soon but it’s been months. The nightmares are the worst. She wakes up screaming in a cold sweat. Keenan has tried everything to remember even writing minute details in a diary but to no avail. One day she wakes up and realizes that she needs to stop chasing the past. This is her second chance at life. A chance to start over and become whomever she wants. She decides to join a running club in her hotel and meets Troy. Troy and his friends take her under their wings like a broken bird needing mending. Keenan can’t remember how many friends she used to have but these new ones have become like family to her.

One evening while having drinks with the boys, Keenan decides she needs to start exploring her sexuality ; find out what she likes. Troy sends her to a sex club called Dangereux, omitting the part that his brother is the owner. Sparks fly when Lincoln “Rush” Moore sees Keenan. What a panty-wetting way to meet someone! Rush decides he is not sharing her with anyone. They fall for each other pretty quickly but problems arise that are out of their control. Issues that put Keenan in harm’s way. Can he protect her? What will happen when she recovers her memory?

I think that the author could have played up the S and M a little more or Mick should have caused more problems. Other than that it was an enjoyable read with a nice surprise at the ending. It was nice the way she tied real life events into her story making the book more realistic.

I cried, I laughed, and I all but threw my kindle at the wall a couple times out of anger and frustration. I loved these characters and didn’t want the book to end. Thank you Betty Shreffler for an amazing story…going in my to be read again folder for sure. Loved it!!

Encroachment is the second book in Monica DeSimone’s Coach’s Shadow Trilogy. I guess you could read it as a standalone but reading the first book would give you some background information on the other characters that appear in the story. The series is a sport romance and by now, I can say I am a fan of sports romance! I loved how Monica showed us what happened to the characters from the first book and that is why I stand with the statement that you absolutely should read the first book before starting on this one!
This story takes you through a gamut of emotions, I cried and I laughed and I raged and I was so proud of the heroine that I could barely contain it! The writer has created another story that pulls you from the first page! She has created characters that bring along a journey and make us feel what they are feeling and I am telling you, they feel deep so you feel deep …
This story is about Claire McEvoy and Jackson ‘Jack’ Alexander. Jack has loved Claire since she was 15 years old and he was 22 when they were the best friends. He knows the secret Claire has been hiding for the past 23 years, he knows the violence she lived through and admires her for how she has picked up the pieces and what kind of a woman she has become. Jack has never forgotten about Claire and has always kept his eyes on her and now, when he is back in her life, he will NOT allow her to push him away.
Throughout the story, we are kept on tenterhooks, will Jack succeed and pull down the walls Claire has had to build to cope with the violence she experienced when she was 15. Will he get her to trust him …? Will he win her …? Will Claire give Jack a chance to make her happy …?
I cannot wait for the third book in the series, I hope she does not keep us waiting too long … We need to find out what happens next!!!

Dropout (The Good Guys) by Jamie Schlosser – Review by Jana Teppih

Dropout (The Good Guys)Dropout by Jamie Schlosser
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Dropout is the third book in Jamie Schlosser’s The Good Guys series that takes place in the little town of Tolson in the middle of nowhere of Midwest America! Well, you can read it as a standalone but really, why would you not read Trucker and Dancer before tackling Dropout knowing that you would get so much more out of it …
This story is about 19-year-old James ‘Jimmy’ Peabody Johnson and a 21-year-old Mackenna ‘Mack’ Connelly. I know I know, some would be put off by the age difference but heck, I have rarely met someone in their 20ies who would be as mature as Jimmy was. I do not believe in age, I believe in who you are deep down and he is kind, considerate and feels strong. Mack is another one who is way mature beyond her years and there is no surprise there, she has experienced a lot in her 21 years.
There are a lot of holy moly moments in this book, I cried and I laughed and I got angry … so I ran a whole gamut of emotions, it was that well written! Jamie really knows how to spin a story and pull you in (it was another late night with this book as I needed to finish it!).
I loved that the writer showed us that one does not need to go and get a college degree to be successful and happy in their lives, you simply need to find your passion and follow it. You can make a beautiful life in a small town amongst hard working people that have your back!
I very much enjoyed to get know Jimmy’s grandmother Beverly more (we met her first time in the first book and she was a total hoot!). She is such a character and she made me miss my grandmother who has been gone for over 20 years … What an acceptance and joie de vivre! Not a dull moment!
I invite you on a ride that will not leave you cold! I hope that Jamie will have some more Good Guys to write about!

Dancer (The Good Guys)Dancer by Jamie Schlosser
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Dancer is the second book in Jamie Schlosser’s The Good Guys series. I have to admit, I jumped straight into it after finishing the first book (Trucker). Jamie did NOT disappoint me! It was actually quite a few degrees hotter than Trucker and it made so sense when I think of Colton. You can probably read it as a standalone but you get much more out of it if you read Trucker first!
Dancer is a hot and sexy ‘best friends falling in love’ story that blows you out of water! The chemistry between Colton Evans and Brielle “Ellie” Mitchell was off the charts, the story was fast paced but not too fast, I could not put it down until I had finished it (it was another late night for me…why could we not just live off reading books…).
I loved Brielle, she was such a sassy, independent and sweet girl who had made it through all those challenges thrown on her way, she comes through with flying colors (just picture a small town’s prejudice and gossip and … you hopefully can imagine what she has had to fight with). Colton is nothing to sneeze at either. Well, he is a 22-year-old with a little problem, things below his belt buckle have not been working the way they should and you can imagine how it makes him feel … Well, it takes only one glance and Ellie and that little problem is a problem of past …
Jamie throws in couple of unexpected twists that make sense and show us what Colton and Ellie are made of! I wish there were more 22 year olds of their caliber, we would have much more hope for a better future then!
I am sure that once you have read and loved Tucker, you will be like me, hungry for the next one!

Life's Second Chances (Show Me, #1)Life’s Second Chances by Anne Stone
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Angelina Samuels is a teacher and after the school she teaches at closes down she is lucky enough to be asked to a last minute interview. Angelina is hired on the spot and finds herself in new teaching job a few days before the year is about to start. As she is being shown around she realises that her best friend, Gabriella Alvarez, from her college days is a teacher at the same school. The two of them are so happy to see each other and reconnect after so long apart. Angelina is settling into her new school as tragedy strikes her family. As one crisis is averted another takes it’s place. As Angelina is trying to recover her constant rock has been Alejandro Alvarez, Gabriella’s brother.

Alejandro is a world renowned transplant surgeon who after suffering a horrifying tragedy, has just moved back home after living away for years. He is trying to put his past behind him and is settling into his new job. Alejandro finds himself growing closer to Angelina but he knows they can only be friends as he learns to deal with the tragedy that changed his life forever. Alejandro ensures he is there as support to both her and her family.

Angelina has a secret he will not share with her family, a secret that only herself and her doctor know. Angelina knows she can never give a man the life he needs. As Angelina and Alejandro spend time together they try to help the other through their crisis they begin to find thing they thought they would never find.

Will Alejandro be able to move on from his past to make a new life? Will Angelina come to grips with her issue to be able to build a life? Will the issues be too much to bear and keep them apart?

There are many characters in this book and each one had their own point of view which at times I found a little confusing as they were all mixed together. All in all though it is a sweet romance full of tragedy and second chances.

12 Hours in Paradise12 Hours in Paradise by Kathryn Berla
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

12 Hours in Paradise by Kathryn Berla is a young adult romance. This is my first time reading this author and it was a pleasant surprise. This is the story of Dorothy Patmont and Arash Atkinson. Both are in Hawaii and bump into one another thanks to Chester, Dorothy’s brother. It is Dorothy’s last day in Hawaii and Arash is there for a school trip. Her and Arash decide to sneak out of their rooms and meet up to talk and have a romantic adventure.
This is a sweet story of two good teens. They both understand that by sneaking out they are risking getting in trouble. The longer the evening goes the greater the risk of being caught. The two decide to use an app that promises love if they answer thirty-six questions together. The challenge will they finish the questions before getting caught.
The two of them are cute, sweet, and young. The story reminds us you never know when you will meet your love. Also, that one should be open minded. Arash was not the first boy she spotted, but he was the friend. We might not see someone as being perfect for us at the beginning but once the layers are stripped down and we get to know the real person everything can change.
I would recommend this to anyone who needs an uplifting story. I enjoyed the story and longed to find out if the two will finish the questions or will be caught out.

Chi: A Short Story 2 (UNDER GROUND #0.6)Chi: A Short Story 2 by Alice Rachel
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Chi: A Short Story 2 (Under Ground #0.6) by Alice Rachel is part of the Under Ground series. I recommend that you read the previous stories first before this one as you will get a lot of background information on the characters and where they are coming from. This story is a continuation of Chi’s story. You will enjoy how this author has created this story in Chi’s point of view and his perspective on how things are. This is a short story but it will keep you engaged until the end. You will really get to see Chi in this story.

Chi is a twin born into a world where you are only suppose to have one child. Chi’s parents have kept him hidden from the world but that has caused some issues with his twin, Stephen. Stephen almost died from the West Nile virus but that is the point that their relationship took a turn for the worse. All Chi wants is to have a relationship with his brother. He is forced to try and bring his brother back to normal, but will he do it? What will he lose in the process? Will he be able to repair their relationship? Does his brother still care about him? He is a strong character that just wants his brother to love him back. You will find yourself feeling for him as he is not even sure why his brother feels the way he does. He is a fighter and you will enjoy watching him fight for his life.

I have enjoyed each and every installment of this series and I can’t wait to see what comes next and which character we will see their point of view next. Alice Rachel brings her characters to life and keeps you wanting to see more of them. I get hooked with every book I read of hers. Alice loves spending time with her husband and guinea pigs. When she is not writing, she teaches French, reading and drawing. You will find yourself reading this book in one sitting and you won’t be able to put it down until the end. It is a fast paced story that will keep you wanting more from this character. I highly recommend this story as I know you will enjoy Chi’s version as much as I have.

Chi: A Short Story 1 (UNDER GROUND #0.1)Chi: A Short Story 1 by Alice Rachel
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Chi: A Short Story 1 (Under Ground #0.1) by Alice Rachel is part of her Under Ground series. It is highly recommended that you read the previous books before this one, they will give you information on characters and help you understand where things are at. This story is told in the POV of Chi and it starts before he meets Thai. If you have read any of this series then you will understand when I say, that it was great seeing Chi’s version before he met Thai. We have heard from a few other characters before this point. But you will enjoy his version of what was happening. This is a short story but it keeps you engaged. Find out what Chi’s version of things.

Chi is a twin, he was never asked to be born into a family that is only allowed one child. He has never wanted to be a burden on his family but now they are gone. Are they dead? Are they safe? He has no idea. He has spent his life hiding and running. He is determined not to hide anymore. What will happen to him? Is he safe? How will he survive?

I am not sure how many of Alice Rachel books I have read now but each one has a piece of the puzzle. Just when I think I know what is happening before and after, there is another version in someone else’s POV. Alice loves spending time with her husband and guinea pigs. When she is not writing, she teaches French, reading and drawing. This is a fast reading short story that will have you reading until the end. I read it in one sitting and I think you will too. You will enjoy Chi’s version of things and will want to see what happens next. I highly suggest this installment of this series as I know you will want to see what happens next in this series.

A Halloween’s Curse (The Portal Prophecies #2) by C. A. King- Review by Emma Haverstock

/0 Comments/in /by

A Halloween's Curse (The Portal Prophecies #2)A Halloween’s Curse by C.A. King
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

A Halloween’s Curse is the second book in the Portal Prophecies series by C.A. King and it has just as much, if not more, going for it as the first book. I adored the first book (A Keeper’s Destiny) and was supremely excited when I got the second one, half because I was so intrigued by the story and half because of the cliffhanger from the first book. The second one did not disappoint. We learn so much more about the magical creatures inhabiting the world and their extensive powers. There is potential for so much more and I am just as excited to read the third book.
Willow and the others get many answers but just as many new questions about the prophecies and what it means for the world. One of my favorite parts of this book was the witch tour that takes place at the beginning. The tour group is taken to several places that are important historically or otherwise to witches and we are able to learn quite a bit about the magical community on Earth and how it has kept itself hidden from the terunji, or non magical population. A few new races of creatures are introduced and we learn just enough about what King Cornelius has planned for the world to worry what is coming next.
With quite a bit of doom and gloom, I was very happy to see there were still bits of humor when everyday things had to be explained to Willow and her people. Willow’s reaction to the changing of the seasons was hilarious to me.
All in all, this was a great sequel and I can’t wait to read the next one.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Willow: A Short Story 1 (Under Ground #0.3) by Alice Rachel is part of her Under Ground series. I highly recommend that you read the books in this series as it will give you background information on the characters that you will find helpful. This story is in the point of view of Willow. It is great to see another installment in the point of view of another character. This is another short story by this author but it will keep you engaged until the end. Find out Willow’s story and her perspective of things.

Willow is a young girl who also is an Unwanted. Like Chi she has to remain hidden because she has an older sister. Her problem becomes when she falls in love with Stephen. She knows they can never be together. What will happen when Chi shows up at her door step? Will she betray the one person that she loves the most? What happens will be surprising but it can’t be undone. What will she do? She is not as strong of a character as some of the other characters in this series. She feels like she has no control over anything. She has control over one thing but will she keep that control?

You will enjoy seeing Willow’s point of view. She will pull at your heart strings. She just wants to love who she wants and not be told who she can love. I completely lose myself in this series with everyone book I read. Alice Rachel writes with feeling and her characters really show it. Alice loves spending time with her husband and guinea pigs. When she is not writing, she teaches French, reading and drawing. This is a short story that you will find yourself reading in one sitting and it will keep you wanting more. You will not want to miss what happens with Willow. You will not be able to put this book down as it keeps you engaged until the end. I highly recommend this story as I know you will enjoy see Willow’s side of things.

Willow: A Short Story 2 (Under Ground #0.7) by Alice Rachel is part the Under Ground series. I highly recommend you read the previous books in this series, to help you understand the characters a little bit more. This story is the second part of Willow’s story. This author’s creation of this character is just great. In this installment, you will really get to see who Willow is. It is a short story that will keep you engaged until the end. Find out what happens to Willow in this story.

Willow is a young girl who has fallen in love with the wrong boy. She knows that they can never be together. She is heart broken as she tries to make her relationship with Chi work. She is an unwanted so that alone puts her in danger. She stands no chance at a normal life. What will she do, will she try to continue her relationship with the one she loves? Is the only way to be safe, is to hide? She just wants to be with her love, will she find a way to be with him? Will she ever forgive herself? Will he ever forgive her?

This story will give you an incite to Willow but also you get to see some of Stephen too. You will see that Willow as a character grows in this story which makes her a stronger character. She will pull at your heart strings as you watch her struggle with her heart. She has a hard time dealing with her feelings but the heart wants what the heart wants. Alice Rachel has created another installment that will keep you wanting more. Alice loves spending time with her husband and guinea pigs. When she is not writing, she teaches French, reading and drawing. Even though this is a short story, it is a fast paced story. I highly recommend this story as I know you will want to see what happens with Willow as much as I did.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

William: A Short Story (Under Ground #0.2) by Alice Rachel is part of the Under Ground Series. I highly recommend reading the previous books in this series before this one as it will give you more information on the characters and where they are at. This installment is about William’s point of view and his perception of how things are. This author once again has created a character that is strong and controlling See another perception of another character really brings a lot to this series. Find out how William views things.

William is the type that when he sees something he wants, he just takes it. He doesn’t think he needs permission and he was raised to not accept rejection. But what will happen when his chosen finance doesn’t want him and even goes as far as betrayal? He is obsessed with her to the point it is not healthy. He is determined to make her his, she is mine! How far will his obsession go? Will it put him in danger? Will he get his revenge on the person who stole her from him? William is a character that you may hate because he isn’t very nice and is very disrespectful. He just wants everything even if they don’t want him. Find out if obsession will put everyone in danger.

The one thing that I enjoy with Alice Rachel’s stories is that she never lets me down with the creation of her characters. Even though I didn’t necessary enjoy William’s character, he really does make the story flow and give it a twist. Alice loves spending time with her husband and guinea pigs. When she is not writing, she teaches French, reading and drawing. This is a fast story that will keep you engaged until the end. I will say that, it may make you angry at times as it did me. You will enjoy the twist it brings to the story. I highly recommend this story as I know you will want to find out what William’s perception of things.

Love, Me (Pleasant Valley, #2)Love, Me by Anna Brooks
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Love, Me (A Pleasant Valley Novel) by Anna Brooks
5x a million stars!

This is my first book by this author and all I can think of is why have I never read one of her books because this was amazing!!

Rayne Garner works at her parents restaurant, she made a promise to her boyfriend and has remained completely loyal, and faithful since. She lives her life for someone that really doesn’t even deserve it. She has amazing friends and family that are always there when she needs them. She has never thought twice about being disloyal until she meets the guy that just rented the store next door to the restaurant.

Vaughn Morris just moved back to town and rents a building to open his tattoo shop. He comes off as a tough guy yet has deep feelings. His childhood was awful and he has never had the family he wished he’d had. He is haunted daily with memories of his past life in this town and questions coming back until he meets the girl at the restaurant next door.

There is an instant connection between Rayne and Vaughn, the problem is the more he pursues the more she backs away yet always comes back. The mixed signals drive Vaughn nuts and when she begs to just be friends he makes it clear that won’t be enough for him. When he finds out there’s a boyfriend he backs away. He will never touch another man’s woman. Rayne just can’t help being pulled back towards Vaughn every chance she gets. She can see that underneath all his cockiness there is a lot of pain, but how can she help him when she can’t face her own reality. Can they both get past the challenges that lie ahead of them? Can each one find happiness?

I truly loved this story. the characters were written so perfectly and I fell in love with everyone in this book. The author caught me off guard a couple times, I can normally read a book and come up with what might happen, but in this one there were a couple surprises. I can not wait to read all of her other books. This was amazing and I highly recommend it!

12 Hours in Paradise12 Hours in Paradise by Kathryn Berla
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

12 Hours In Paradise, written by Kathryn Berla. I’m giving 5 stars and that is only because they won’t let me give more.
This is my first book by this author, and the first thing I did when I finished was pop her name in google so that I could look up all her other books to read. This is a standalone novel which had me wrapped from word one. Arash and Dorothy are two young adults (under 18) that have a chance encounter on Dorothy’s last day of a family vacation in Hawaii, thanks to Dorothy’s little brother Chester who embarrasses Dorothy in front of a group of guys in a cookie store. A good deed after this encounter brings Arash who is in Hawaii for a high school band competition, to Dorothy’s hotel where he accompanies Dorothy and Chester to the hotels Happy Hour for virgin drinks and snacks. It would seem the night would end there but as Dorothy settles in for the night sharing a room with her granny she receives a text, “Come out and play” which has her sneaking out of her hotel and meeting Arash for an adventure that is all their own. They start on a journey of 36 questions that is supposed to have them falling in love at the end of the last question. Both of them knowing their time is limited and could get them both in so much trouble for sneaking out they embark on their journey “in for a penny in for a pound”. This author’s writing style is amazing, her words flowed so beautifully that every word just felt right. How she brought these two characters to life in my mind had me falling in love with both of them. What happened to these two during the 36 questions was not only them getting to know each other but getting to know themselves. The adventures that they encountered along the way really made me want to go on an adventure just like this with my husband of 36 years. The only negative I can give about this book is that it was only 150 pages, I didn’t want it to end. Actually I was scared of how it would end all the way through as I fell in love with both of them. Is 12 hours and 36 questions enough for two teens to fall in love, and what happens when the night ends? Will they both get caught sneaking out? You have to read this book! I can not say enough about it or this author…This is going in my will read again over and over file.

Sweet Water (Destination Billionaire Romance #5)Sweet Water by Laurie L.C. Lewis
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Sweet Water by Laurie Lewis is a Destination Billionaire Romance.

Have you ever started reading a book and just knew from page one that you were gonna love it? It usually takes me a few pages to know but this one just grabbed me and it physically hurt when I would have to put it down to do things like breathe or fix supper and tend to my family.

This is a story about Hudson, Olivia, and Jeff, three best friends that launched a company together. The friendship and the company was strong until one day Hudson finds out that Olivia and Jeff had eloped, shattering Hudson’s heart and all the plans he had. He took this pain and worked extremely hard with the company the three of them were to share and made billions.

Years later there is a tragic accident that has Olivia waking up in the hospital with so many questions and not enough answers. The only thing she is completely aware of is that she is now a widow. A familiar voice awakens her in her hospital room and when she opens her eyes she immediately recognizes Hudson, who has come to offer her help and his home nearby for her to stay in while she gets better. A home she had spent time in years ago when her, Jeff, and Hudson were still close. Her anger bubbles up the minute she sees him telling him to get out! She blames him for everything that was wrong in her life, he stole the company from her and Jeff which caused her marriage to always be strained leading to an accident leaving her a widow and ruining her chances of being the family she always dreamed of.

After conversations with her sister in law she realized she had no choice but to take Hudson up on his offer. Going back to this house brought back so many memories and Hudson wanting to help her confused her. He offered her a job making a real paycheck and she accepted. Little things Hudson had said to her on the few times they spoke had her tied up in knots. So many questions started popping up in her head. Memories that she tried to organize and explain, right down to Jeff’s hasty marriage proposal and their marriage that always seemed to lack any kind of feeling.

Her new job and her new quest for answers opens feelings for Olivia that she had pushed aside and buried, things start coming together in her mind. Long ago events that she always wondered about start making sense. She needs to make things right, she needs to face the feelings she’s had all these years for the man she thought she hated. Can she fix what’s gone wrong in time? Will Hudson be able to see around his hurt and listen to Olivia as she explains all the pieces to the puzzle that led them all to where they are today?

I can’t put into words how much I loved this book, Laurie Lewis has a way with a story and the way she tells it that just grabs a hold and won’t let go. I felt every emotion known to man while reading this book. Do yourself a favor and carve out some time and read this book!! I’m giving it 5 stars only because that’s all there are to give. Loved loved loved it!!!
