The Vampire Queen (Wheel of Crowns Book 3)The Vampire Queen by Brandi Elledge
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The Vampire Queen is the third installment in this funny and thrilling series. Tandi is a great character that made me laugh in public way too much. These stories are full of adventure and sweet romance, but I also think that they are empowering. That’s what I love about this genre, it shows you that you can be flawed but that those flaws don’t define you. That strength comes in all forms and sometimes it’s the people we least expect who surprise us the most. This book proved to be just as enthralling as the previous two and the only problem that I do have with this book is, it didn’t give any hint as to who the next queen will be. I’m way too eager to see what unfolds in the quest to save the world.

This is the second story in the series. It is a short story in pages but not in thrills for sure. I will freely admit that this is not my go to genre to read but it was definitely entertaining. I feel that the problem with stories this short is that you can’t really get to know the characters so you don’t form a bond but since this has some recurring people in it, I was able to build on what I already knew of this crazy daring woman. If you have some time to waste and want a nonstop action short story, then this is definitely for you.

Impact (Twisted Hearts Love Story #4) by Autumn Sand – Review by Karyn Taylor

Impact (A Twisted Hearts Love Story book 4)Impact by Autumn Sand
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Wow, what can I say about Impact by Autumn Sand. This is the 4th and final (sob!) book in the Twisted Hearts Love Story series and, for me, it was the best in the series. Talk about leaving the best till last! Each book in this series can be read as a stand-alone but I’d suggest that you read all 4 books for a couple of reasons. The first being that the series is so good, it would be shame not to read it all. Secondly, as the main male characters appear in all 4 books you really get a deeper insight into their characters as the books progress.
From reading the first 3 and getting to know Manny, you would never realise he had so much going on in his life. He’s always been the laid back one, happy to spread his ‘free loving ways’ to any and all woman. You’d never know the pain and heartache that he’s gone through.
This book will totally grip you from the very beginning and not let you go. It’s hard hitting, gritty, thrilling, heartbreaking, hell it has everything!!
I loved the way this story was told going from present time, back to Manny’s younger days and also counting down the events of the previous 2 months. This did an amazing job of keeping you on the edge of your seat wondering what the author was going to throw at you next. And by God you definitely get thrown a few crackers that you did not see coming.
If you love a great romantic thriller, then this book, and the whole series, will take you through a roller coaster of emotions and leave you wanting more. Highly recommend!

Winging It (Destiny Rules Series Book 1) by Lisa Gail Green
4 Stars

I don’t usually read books with a male main character. I much prefer the strong female leads. I was pleasantly surprised with this novel. It was really fun to read. It is a light hearted fantasy story involving fairies, magic and adventure. It has action, humour and suspense. There was romance as well but seeing as the characters are mainly teenagers, it was filled with raging hormones and adolescent angst.

Zach finds out his mother is a fairy godmother and kind of freaks out when he realizes he’s a fairy as well. With his mother injured, he will need to finish her assignments before the full moon or they are both grounded. The next week of his life is thrown into total chaos with Zach continuously breaking the rules, getting drugged and fighting for his life. Who knew being a fairy godmother was so dangerous?

I ended up really liking Zach. He was an awkward sixteen year old who would constantly fumble around the girl he liked. He was caring and stood up for what he believed in. I enjoyed watching his confidence build by the end of the novel. The characters are great and likeable and the story is well written. This is a fantastic YA fantasy book. I’m looking forward to reading part two in the series.

Secure Again: A Chase Group StorySecure Again: A Chase Group Story by R. L. Dunn
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

 

Secure Again was another great read from R.L. Dunn; the story was as engaging and exciting to read as the first one. There was great mix of mystery and suspense running throughout and I was engaged form beginning to end. I loved that the plot was predictable either; I loved having to guess what is going to happen!! There did seem to be quite a few different characters and it took me a little while to get used to them all but I loved the main characters! I loved Elizabeth! She was a really strong character and a pleasure to read about. I was definitely on the edge of my seat on a few occasions waiting to see if characters would survive and would Elizabeth be able to help them! There were a few twists in the story too which made it even better to read!
Secure Again was a great read, one that I thoroughly enjoyed reading and one that I would highly recommend!

I really enjoyed this story! This isn’t the first book that I have read by this author so I knew that I liked her writing style and I was really looking forward to reading it. It didn’t take me long to fall into reading the story and I was carried along easily with Leda and her story. It was really interesting seeing this kind of adventure through her eyes and I really felt like I was there with her at times. I really liked Leda and found her to be a really likeable character, her adventure really was a great one to follow, I loved that it felt so real and almost as if I was reading someone’s diary/journal in parts. A really great story that I thoroughly enjoyed and would absolutely recommend! I look forward to more from Ms Amman again in the future!

Fierce Emotions (Marcy Series Book 8) by Linda Burson – Review by Shannon Fowler

/0 Comments/in /by

Fierce EmotionsFierce Emotions by Linda Burson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Fierce Emotions is book 8 in the Marcy Series and should be read completely in order.

This book continues with all that is Marcy and her “soap opera quality stories”. Her husbands, Brad and Liam, add to her chaos called life. All three are crazy in love with each other and sometimes just plain crazy.

This story reads in a simple style, one that is easy to follow. There are enough supporting characters to keep up with, enough action and plenty of wonder. I always feel, with this series, like something huge is about to happen. And while the trio has its ups and downs, there is no major life altering event. Each story feels like its building to something explosive.

I am amazed that Burson is able to keep this story line going with new twists while keeping me so entertained. I have not grown tired of Marcy, Brad or Liam’s antics. While this story ends on a happy note there are other unknowns, which leads me to believe a book nine is in the making! And then I read the author’s notes and learn that there are 13 books in the Marcy series!! I can’t wait to see where Burson takes this family!

Linda Burson is an author with stories made to entertain the reader.

Rage (The Marcy Series Book 1) by Linda Burson – Review by Sarah Oakes

Rage (The Marcy Series, #1)Rage by Linda Burson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

A great read about anger. Marcy has been struggling at life with constant nightmares filling her dreams. This sleep deprivation makes her aggravated and his anger invades her life, making her explode over the smallest things. When her boyfriend leaves her over it, she gets even more angry.. One night when trying to get some petrol, she is held at gunpoint and her anger full explodes. Afterwards, she meets Liam, a man on a quest for revenge. Following on this quest for revenge, Marcy uses her anger to help him find the answers. But along the way she discovers love and feelings. Can anger truly solve all your problems?
A great read. Well developed plot with twists and turns. Well developed characters like Brad trying to be supportive but having a breaking point or Jill wise and kind but also funny and caring. Great cast of supporting characters like the charming Rita or the chatty Sal. However, I felt that Marcy was too angry to be likeable. I felt this anger was too melodramatic, as sleep deprivation and nightmares only make you so grumpy and not to that extent. If this was toned down, it would be more believable and relatable.
I loved the visual detail throughout the novel like with the coffee shop full of life and people and colourful décor comforting and welcoming with its smells of coffee and tastes of lemon meringue pie so strong its as if you’re actually there. Or the sense of the busy city with its traffic fullof noise and people. I also liked the contrast from the bright yellows of the past and the grey rains and blacks of the present to indicate her mood changes wonderfully written.
The flashbacks worked well to display how things have changed and didn’t disrupt too much from the narrative of the present. Overall, a great read and I would give it four stars.

Murder Among Friends
By Linda Burson
Rated 4 stars

This is a great story! If you like a little murder mystery this is for you! The characters were well developed and interesting. The story has many ups and downs. Who did it? And Why? Are the thousand dollar question. While I enjoyed the story there seems to be something off. It I am thinking it’s the too much detail of the conversations. I never thought I would write that in a review. Conversation is my favorite part of a book. It just seemed some of this way day to day stuff not really moving the story forward or cementing a relationship. It was just filler. Now don’t get me wrong the actual murder mystery was well done. But alas I also am not a great fan of the ending. I just can’t see it. But who knows? Are people ever who they seem? Especially in books.

Say Something by Jennifer L. Allen

5 Stars

Im left with wanting so much more from this story, not because it was lacking in anything but because I just loved reading it. It’s the kind of book you want to just curl up with no distractions and lose yourself in. I read it in one sitting and just had a warm comforting feeling in how it was written. I felt like I was there and knew these people.

I love second chance stories, especially ones that start as high school sweethearts as I married mine, and this one was a bit different in the way that the HEA had basically already happened and fell apart and both Jessica and Danny had thought they moved on with their lives until circumstances bring them both back to where it all began.

This story dealt with something that is more reality then a lot of people are even aware of. I have two close friend couples that deal with these issues and these struggles are completely real and can be even more devastating. The way this author told this story was spot on and absolutely beautiful. The flashbacks were perfect and always happened at the perfect times.

I totally and 100% loved this book, this was my first read by this author and I can not wait to read more. I am after only one book a fan of this author’s writing and can not recommend it enough.

Loved it!!!

Trickster's Hunt (Three Tricksters #1)Trickster’s Hunt by Carrie Whitethorne
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I’ve never read either of these authors before so wasn’t sure what to expect. The blurb pretty much spelled the book out, so I knew it was going to be a unique read. I read a lot of different things and this seemed to combine a few of the more unusual ones.

I’m not sure how these authors co-wrote the story – if they sat together in a room dictating to each other – or if they exchanged google docs and continued where the other left off – or if each had their own voice in a specific character, but the writing was seamless. Their styles meshed in such a way that it was a blended story.

I did not like the female protagonist. I found myself skimming through some of the more detailed parts because I was more interested in the general story than the nitty gritty annoying bits of her. The guys were interesting but let’s talk about the cat. “They” always say one should not work with kids or animals and I think that is true in this story. The cat (btw, I’m totally naming my next cat the same name) is one of my favorite cats I’ve ever read. So clever and witty and communicative.

This is the first book in a series so obviously it had to end the way it did to compel the reader to read the next book. I think the pace will pick up a little in the next one. I will be sticking with the series.

Problematic Love (Rogue Series Book 8)Problematic Love by Lara Ward Cosio
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

It is my opinion that this should NOT be read as a stand-alone. I think the series needs to be read in the order it was written to fully grasp the story behind the story of these characters. There are a lot of characters that precede this book who play an intricate role in PROBLEMATIC LOVE.

There is a huge world to this series. In each of the previous books, there is a realistic take on events happening and at times I have enjoyed reading the stories and other times I’ve been on the fence about them. This is one of those books that was just a little too realistic, a little too “problematic” for me. There are boundaries crossed, characters that I wanted to shake and tell them to step away to take a breath, and complex issues that I think were handled in a way that leads me to believe the author has some experience in.

I don’t want to recap the blurb or give anything away so it is difficult to explain what I am feeling. I’ve sat with it for a little bit hoping for the review to become clearer to me, but it’s not. It’s an entanglement of real life vs fiction that I sometimes struggle with – so I will simply say…

Read this book (after reading the others, of course).

By: Brandi Elledge
My Rating: 5 of 5 stars

The Vampire Queen (Wheel of Crowns Book 3) by Brandi Elledge was a hooking read, that had me flipping the pages. Who needs seep?

Not my first read by this author or in this series, so when this book was released I snatched it out. Just so you know though these books are part of a series, they can be read as standalones, and out of order. So if you haven’t read the other books, you got no worries about spoilers or feeling lost.

I have to say, this instalment has probably been the best so far. I loved the opening, and the MC was witty, fun an a little bit of a goof. I think if I was a vampire we’d be alike. This book felt, there, like, everything flowed nicely, the connection felt real and I believe the author found their stride with this book. Not that the other books aren’t as good, it’s just this one, was polished, and shiny. (I highly suggest the other books BTW).

Overall this book was as I said, fun, detailed, and smooth. If you’re looking for a good unique, quirky vampire read, then I highly suggest you gets your hands on this truly one of a kind read.

Happy Reading

This book is on the shorter side and because of it, moves at a very quick pace. There were a couple of characters who I constantly rolled my eyes at (I’m looking at you Matt & Ritter) and I wanted to write them right out of the story and some of the situations were odd, but I found the story an enjoyable one and would recommend it.

Past Storm and Fire by Christy Nicholas was a riveting read that will embark upon the realms of expectation and more. The imagery was remarkably well done and I loved how the Val’s writing takes on a life of its own while her own life begins shifting further. This story draws the reader into its pages while Val and her own character(s) embark upon their own journeys. The writing was on point and the emotional attributes hit at the pivotal moments, right where they should. Chapter to chapter, you will drawn further into the story until you crest into the final chapter(s). Truly addictive with passionately written characters with aspects between the past and present that were amazing. Recommend this book!

Perfectly Played by Holly Kerr is a sports themed romantic comedy. A story of coincidences and second chances with fate playing a grand hand. Holly Kerr delivers an enchanting story when life doesn’t go exactly as planned with a group of characters that are rife with hilarious conversations and acts. Who wouldn’t laugh at half the stuff that occurs in this story?! I loved Dean and Flora in this novel and felt that they each grew from where they began at the start. There were definitely a couple characters I wanted to toss in a box and throw out because they were just drove me to feel that way; however, they added much needed dimension to the story and provided those characters that you love to hate! Perfectly Played was a great story and followed along with the sport theme that carried with the characters perfectly!

MINX by Maggie Adams is a delightful quick and easy read that is a short story but there is nothing short about what is packed into this little tale. It is fun and the hilarity of it had me laughing out loud, hubby kept looking at me like I was a loon. The characters are quirky and delightful but I would have loved the story to be longer to get a better feel of them and their lives as a whole. Even though it is fun there is the serious side of the story where after your marriage breaks down you go through the stages of grief and you have to find yourself and who you are now and that is where the fun begins.
Miranda’s husband of 20 years decides their marriage is over and kicks her out whilst bringing in the younger woman. She goes through an awakening to find herself and love herself again.
If you love a story with a little quirk, then this one you don’t want to look past.

MaddJax Series Boxed Set by Deborah Ann is a bargain because you get both books in one go. No waiting to find out what comes next. It is a second chance romance story with a twist of stepbrother and stepsister fall in love. It is a story about hang ups of the forbidden which is equal parts frustrating, sexy and steamy and oh so good. There is plenty chemistry and intrigue, drama and angst and a love so strong it melts your heart. I fell in love with the characters and Deborah’s writing.
Jax is back to claim his girl but will she fall willingly back into his arms or has he left it too late?
Maddison has missed the love of her life but is still hung up on the forbidden love and what it will do to their parents. Can she look past this and truly find happiness?

Problematic Love (Rogue Series Book 8)Problematic Love by Lara Ward Cosio
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I have read a few books from this amazing author and she continues to blow my mind. This is the eighth book in the Rogue series. I absolutely love Rockstar romance but this author exceeds my expectations. This is the continuation of Danny Boy’s story. You will have to at least read the fifth book Looking for Trouble to understand what is going on this book. This has grown to be one of my all time favorite Rockstar romances ever. I was so excited when this book came out. I stop everything and started to read this book right away. I was so invested in this story it only took me a little over one day to devour this incredible story.

This book starts a little bit after the first one ends. Danny Boy is so shocked but he got the woman he wanted the lovely Ms. Paterson. He knows that this is going to be the first real relationship he has ever had. Danny Boy had a bad childhood and he is still trying to heal from it. He was an addict and sometimes he still feels the temptation. Danny Boy is trying to become the man he needs to be for Amelia but it is easier said than done. He keeps on making mistakes that takes a toll on him and he quickly figures out that Amelia wants a lot of different things that he might not be able to give her. Will Danny Boy be able to find the man he truly is or will the darkness take over once again?

I absolutely loved this book. The storyline has it all romance, heartbreak, healing, forgiveness. You will have a love and hate relationship with these characters. Danny Boy as we all know is a the perfect bad boy. He doesn’t care what other people think of him but deep down he wants someone to love him. Danny Boy is a very raw and real character that I grew to love. Amelia is a beautiful woman that has a good head on her shoulders. She knows that this relationship could turn out ugly but she feels something for Danny Boy that she can’t get away from. These characters have some steamy scenes that will make your temperature rise. This talented author will keep you on your toes until the end. I hope there will be more stories of this amazing band soon.

Fierce Emotions by Linda Burson is the eighth book on the Marcy Series. This book most definitely shouldn’t be read as a standalone, it’s an on going series.

Brad and Liam aren’t perfect but they take such good care of Evan and Marcy and though they overreact to a lot they are able to dial it back.

Marcy really has a good life, two husbands that love her and the sweetest toddler and friends. But if you have been keeping up with the series you will know it isn’t always great for her.

This is a book you want to read when you have a time to sit back and soak it in.

Death and the Crone is the third book in the Three of the Lucky Devil series by Megan Mackie. I would highly recommend reading the first two books in the series so you can meet some of the characters from the other two stories. I have to admit I did not know who Megan Mackie was before I was referred to her books, but now I love her writing. I would highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for a fresh author to start reading. This story is set in Chicago, which is where I grew up. It was fun looking at Chicago from a different point of view. Margaret is the main female character who is older and really has given up. She just does not see a positive end to her life. She has been asked by this stranger to come back to his apartment and that is where the story picks up. She learns that there is a silver lining in her cloud and not she needs to ride the wave. Will Margaret’s savior be all that he cracks up to be? Will Margaret feel like life is a journey she wants to continue?

This is a tale that takes you in ups and downs. There is some romance in it but it’s not the theme for the book. Mystery and intrigue are what fuel this story. Talmon is hired by a couple to spy on their investment. While doing that he meets a load of new people. They are mafia, con men and lovely ladies. The story drew me in and didn’t let go. I was wanting to know what was going to happen. It seemed like there are two different stories to follow along with. I enjoyed the characters and the trouble they got into.
