Love is What You Bake of it (Meraki, #1)Love is What You Bake of it by Effie Kammenou
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Love is What You Bake of it is the first book in the new Meraki series by Effie Kammenou. I loved reading this story and cannot wait for more in the series. Kally is the main character in this book and you cannot help but fall in love with her. I found her the most relatable character when it comes to feeling unworthy and having someone shatter your heart and making it hard to trust again. Kally runs a café and loves to bake, it’s her passion and it shows in the book. But the comes Max and the more you learn about him the more you come to love him. But can these move past the terrible pasts and find love again? This book will pull you in from the first few pages and it does not let you go even at the end. I found myself wanting more of these characters. I highly recommend this book.

Stage Mom (Romance in Rehoboth #6)Stage Mom by K.L. Montgomery
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Stage Mom: A Single Mom Romantic Comedy by K.L. Montgomery is the sixth book in the Romance in Rehoboth series. These books can all be read as standalone although I think you should definitely read them all as they are that good!
I loved Larissa! She is everything I want to be in a mum – she is strong and willing to fight tooth and nail for her daughter. And yet I found that she has such a sweet side to her. She had been through so much and yet was able to find a way past all of that to see new possibilities.
It worked well between her and Mateo – they complimented each other perfectly. Their story was entertaining and very amusing! The author has such a great writing style and always knows the right pace needed for her characters.
This is a brilliant series and one I have really enjoyed. I would highly recommend reading it!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

4 stars!

I never thought this genre would hold my interest but I was intrigued and thoroughly entranced in this story. This book is about Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves but with a steampunk twist. First off, I have never read the original story, so I have nothing to compare this retelling against. This story took me to a fantastical world with magic and adventure. It is fun to see how Ali reacts and solves the mysterious puzzle box he receives. Ali is on his way home after his father’s death and seems to be the only one able to restore his family’s name and honor, and proves time and time again that he can handle anything that life throws at him, seeing as how he is attacked multiple times on his journey home. It was also interesting to see someone of Arab descent in England and how he lived at that time, that aspect plus the magical element made the story that much more interesting for me. Throughout the book Ali encounters magical and mechanical creatures, which I thought were nicely written into the story. I wish there was a little more in the lines of romance but, even without, it was still very fun. I would definitely recommend this book.

Wedding War (Romance in Rehoboth Book 5)Wedding War by K.L. Montgomery
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Wedding War by K.L. Montgomery is the fifth book in the Romance in Rehoboth series. This is a fun, entertaining series that will have you laughing and crying in equal measure. These books are all standalones however they are all worth reading!
This book has to be my favourite in the series. Hannah and Jason are such an entertaining couple. The chemistry between them could be felt on each page. They were so engaging that I couldn’t help but connect with them.
As with all the books in this series the author has done a great job of creating a brilliant story. The whole things makes you feel like you are there. If you haven’t already done so then you really need to read these books today!

Phoenix Team One: Selected (Mythical Alliance: Phoenix Team Book 1)Phoenix Team One: Selected by Claire Luana
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Phoenix Team One: Selected by Claire Luana is the first book in the Mythical Alliance: Phoenix Team series. This is an exciting new series from an author that knows how to create fantastic stories.
I knew this book was going to be a good one when I was intrigued from the moment I read the description. Add that to the fact it is written by Claire Luana – who in my opinion knows how to write amazing books – then it was one of those I just had to read immediately. Right from the word go I knew I wasn’t going to be disappointed.
This is such a strong start to what I am hoping will be yet another amazing series. The author has created a whole host of brilliant characters. They are varied, unusual and interesting to read about. The story itself is also well developed. It draws you in so easily and before you know it you are utterly hooked. It is fast paced and action packed. This is one of those books you just can’t put down. I am very excited to see what is next in line for this series.

Forgotten Truth Trilogy: Book One (The Forgotten Trilogy 1) by Virginia Wine – Review by Rosanna Ingram

Forgotten Truth (Forgotten #1)Forgotten Truth by Virginia Wine
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the first book that I have read by Virginia Wine, but it won’t be the last. First…I need to know what happens next. Also, the secondary characters in this book are good and deserve their own stories to be told. But, back to this book…

Bryer has been hurt in past relationships, with her last one leaving her not wanting to put herself out there. Nathan is the owner of the gym Bryer works out at. Nathan suffers from nightmares and has his own issues. However, they are attracted to each other. Once they go on their first date, we are pulled into a story that kept me turning the pages.

They are both dealing with pasts that they must come to terms with. Working together, they just might be able to do that. There is drama and suspense alongside a budding relationship that is growing and could be something amazing. Are they willing to be vulnerable in order to heal, or are they too stunted by their pasts to move forward?!? You will have to read it to find out!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I knew the moment I saw the cover of Love is What You Bake of it and the blurb that I had to read this novel and as soon as possible. I had a lot ahead of it so was biting my nails in anticipation as I finished up another series I was working on. The wait turned out to be worth it though and I felt I had found my favorite read by Effie Kammenou yet. I loved how light and fun this book read and kept me on my toes to find out how things would come to be between these two main characters that I had fallen in love with. This is the tale of a bake and a cop, Kally and Max. The vibe given off was very much like the Big Fat Greek Wedding movies, something I absolutely love and rewatch regularly. I am so here for the next books to come in the series and I can’t wait to see what laughs and tears await me!

Life's a Witch (New Orleans Nocturnes, #3)Life’s a Witch by Carrie Pulkinen
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I give Life’s a Witch: A Paranormal Romantic Comedy (New Orleans Nocturnes Book 3) by Carrie Pulkinen, 5 stars.

I have been reading this whole series and was so excited to see this book involved a Crimson and Mike. Crimson just seemed like the perfect character to have as a lead and I really wanted to learn more about Mike. This book excelled in doing both of these things. Crimson is a great, hilarious main character who I just love. She also is real and cares about others too. You learn why both of them have ended up in the situations they are in as well. This is not your normal, well I’m just a witch, or I’m just a demon. What this author does so well is to make her characters stand out from all the others in this genre. There stories are so unique, which makes this book astounding. Then there is the current situation Crimson finds herself in. As usual in these books, the author keeps you on your toes as to what happens next. You will also see previous characters make an appearance as well, which I always love.

If you are a fan of Paranormal Romantic Comedy, this book is for you. It can be read as a standalone, but I highly recommend reading the previous books too.

Baba Ali and the Clockwork Djinn was a really interesting read. I’ve not read many steampunk genre books before but I really like the re-telling’s of fairy tales and other storied from my childhood so I really wanted to give this book a try and I actually really enjoyed it. The writing was great, I like it when dual authors work together and you can’t tell – their writing styles complemented each other perfectly. The characters were great, well thought out and planned and the detail and descriptions were fantastic, I could definitely imagine what I was reading.
Overall I thought that this was a wonderful read, captivating and exciting the whole way through. I would definitely like to read more from these authors again in the future and I absolutely would recommend this book to other readers.

Torch (Lovelock Book 2) by Tricia Copeland – Review by Angela Hayes

TorchTorch by Tricia Copeland
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

 

Torch is book two in the Lovelock Series by Tricia Copeland- it’s the intriguing sequel to Lovelock Ones (Book One). This is a very interesting and thought provoking sci-fi, post-apocalyptic/dystopian adventure story with plenty of action, dramatic developments, danger- and more. And I couldn’t help drawing parallels to what’s going on in our world right now.
In Lovelock Ones, the story gave an intriguing look at the world after a flu epidemic wipes out three quarters of the population in less than two years- leaving the remaining population dealing with massive poverty, famine, global warming, government control, factions, DNA testing/typing, and the ever present treat of another epidemic. We met Jema and Troy back in book one and followed them on quite an adventure. Torch sees us joining back up with them to continue the next phase of their adventure.
The virus has reared its ugly head once more. With the cure/vaccine being held back whilst the powers that be battle it out for control. It’s going to be up to Jema and Troy to step up and to save humanity. This is a tense race against time- with the fate of the world riding on the outcome.
Again, the way the story ended left an opening for more stories in the future- I will definitely keep a lookout for one, as well as any future work by Ms. Copeland.
So, if you love a tense, sci fi/dystopian story, with an intriguing storyline and fantastic characters- then this book/series is definitely for you!

Thank you, Ms. Copeland!

by Gaia B Amman

In this book Leda and Nico are a little bit older and with that comes more peer pressure. Leda gets more of an understanding as to why Nico is the way he is. Leda finds herself questioning when is a good time to decide to have sex, it seems everyone has a different opinion on this subject. The author did a wonderful job touching on some difficult issues that I thought were handled very well. The things some of these characters go through are a very realistic depiction of what a lot of teens go through. The detail written of different places in Italy they traveled to made me feel like I was there. This book is well written, and I couldn’t help but get invested in these characters. I recommend this book.

5-Stars

Sex-O-S; The Tragicomic Adventure of an Italian Surviving the First Time (Italian Teens, novel 2, The Italian Saga) by Gaia B Amman was amazing. Leda is in her teens and she thinks she is in love with Nico but something happens which causes betrayal and pain. This leaves her with trust issues. She later meets Ange and the two explore new things and a relationship together. Reading how their relationship builds was sweet, frustrating, and at time hilarious. Nico is still on of my ever present on again off again favorites but Ange grew on me. Lena’s teenage experience took me back to my own teenage years. I loved her various reactions and how her friend dynamic changed. She is such an amazing main character. If you haven’t read any of the books in this series I highly recommend it. This is one of my favorite out of the series. Easy 5-Stars.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I really enjoyed this fantasy novel by Nikki Broadwell, it is book three in Broadwell’s, ‘Raven and Hummingbird’ series and it continues Katel’s (Kat) adventures. Kat is Dagda‘s daughter from book two and I would personally recommend reading these books in order to really get to know the characters and their backstory and to fully enjoy the series. Having read and enjoyed the previous books in this series I was excited to read this one and I found it to be as captivating a story as the previous stories.
Kat’s life is out of control, the god she is in love with, Bran has not returned from the Otherworld and Kat is surrounded by chaos with Earth in the clutches of unseen forces. She takes a drink from the cauldron of wisdom and inspiration but even that does not help and Kat finds her ability to effect change is lost. Kat’s memories are then stolen and the Fae world is willing to help her but can she trust them or will she lose touch with who she really is. Kat’s destiny lies in the balance.
I could not turn the pages quick enough whilst reading this story as it was fast paced, full of adventure and had great characters. I liked Kat as a character in the previous book and I fell in love with her even more in this novel as she is a great strong female heroine and I found myself caring about her fate and so felt invested in the story. The storyline really swept me along and I was immersed in Broadwell’s magical world of gods, goddesses and magic. I found this to be a five star read and I thoroughly recommend this book.

Life's a Witch (New Orleans Nocturnes, #3)Life’s a Witch by Carrie Pulkinen
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Life’s a witch is the third instalment in the series from Carrie Pulkinen. You could enjoy this as a stand alone read, but there are characters from the first two books so I find it more enjoyable having already read those. It just helps me set the scene better, plus I already like the characters.
The story picks up with Crimson, who we met in book two. Crimson is a witch who gets herself into trouble. And to be honest, she’s pretty rubbish at casting spells.
Mike Cortez (who sounds dreamy from the second you meet him) is a demon who currently has a pact with the devil. He’s attracted to Crimson but accidentally sells her soul to the devil. In the words of the author Mike wants to ‘date her, not damn her’, so he needs to fix this.
This series gets better with every book. It’s a fun, action packed and flirty read. Just what we all need at the minute. It’s refreshing to read a book in this genre that is funny and bright…and sexy! The characters are far from perfect, but all full of personality, both the women and the men are strong and sexy, you can’t help but like them
I would definitely recommend it.

4 out of 5 stars
Torch is the second book in the Lovelocked Series. This is a great series. I have a hard time with some young adult series, but this series is amazing. This book gives us the story of Jema and Troy. Jema’s government is after her, for something that is way over her head. There is a disease spreading through the community there is only one cure, and it runs in Jema’s veins. Branded a loyalist to her uncle and a traitor to her country, Jema, and her friends are on the run.
Fighting for their lives in a desolate desert, Jema and her friends find a group of sympathizers who will help her. And help her get the cure to the people.
This YA dystopian science fiction book has a little bit for all genre lovers. Copeland is an amazing storyteller and she never ceases to amaze me with each new book. Highly recommended for all genre lovers.

This book has a wonderful cast of characters including 2 large Greek families and an assortment of friends who all want to have a say in Kally’s life, but her biggest obstacle is herself.

Turn up the Tempo (Lyrical Odyssey Rock Star Series Book 4) by Charli B Rose – Review by Karyn Taylor

Turn up the Tempo (Lyrical Odyssey Rock Star series, #4)Turn up the Tempo by Charli B. Rose
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Turn Up The Tempo is the 4th book in the Lyrical Odyssey Rock Star Series by Charli B. Rose. This book follows on from the awesome Izzy and Dawson trilogy and it was so good to see these guys again although this is not their story.
Bassist in Lyrical Odyssey, Brooks has no desire to be tied down to one woman. Women are for one time only. So why can’t he get Brittany out of his head? Izzy and Dawson’s wedding would be a great chance to see her again as he’s best man and she’s the bridesmaid.
Brittany is Izzy’s best friend and Izzy is determined to see Brittany happy in a relationship. Brittany currently has no job and a man is the last thing she needs, so why does she keep thinking about the night she had with Brooks last year?
I absolutely loved Brittany and Brooks. Their chemistry is off the charts HOT! The sexy times will have you reaching for a fan to cool yourself down. Brooks certainly knows how to sext too, I had fun trying to work out his acronyms.
This was not a simple fall in love story, both characters have so much going on. Britt has no job and a chance meeting at Izzy and Dawson’s wedding could be the start of her chasing her dreams. Brooks has so much going on with his mum’s health but he’s keeping it all secret, leaving Britt wondering where he keeps disappearing to and who the mystery phonecalls are from.
I thoroughly recommend this book to others.
