Blood Mug: Red Farlow Mysteries: #4 by W.F. Ranew

This isn’t the first book I’ve read by Ranew. The author knows how to keep you entertained from the beginning. Red Farlow Mysteries is an amazing series.

Red is up against another crime doer. This time it’s the chairman that’s dead. He injures himself once again. This time by falling off a building. Although he thinks he saw a young woman standing there. The quote I chose for Red is: “I remember that.
Two tanks eventually went up. You could see the smoke from Macon.”

Highly recommended for Crime lovers.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Dirty Kisses and Conflicting Wishes is an absolutely amazing read. Ms. Jacks gives us a wonderful romance, her female character being all sugar and spice and everything nice, and her male character being incredibly sexy, what else can a romance reader ask for. Ms. Jacks scenery and word play are delightful, and her character development will have any romance lover not wanting to put the book down. I found myself hooked by the end of chapter one and constantly opening my kindle app with every spare moment I had to finish this book. So if you love romance, friendship, and great characters  I highly recommend Dirty Kisses and Conflicting Wishes.

I was blown away by how intense I felt throughout the entire book. The main characters are really difficult to pinpoint until the climax of the story. Even then the end still leaves you feeling like the movie “Shutter Island” before Leonard DiCaprio’s character realizes he is crazy. I will say the character histories, for me, needed a little more development especially the main character. Overall, a good mystery YA and unique in nature. Never read anything like this!

Elusive: Dark Billionaire Mafia Romance (Billionaire Bodyguards Book 5) by Via Mari – Review by. This is the 5th book in the Billionaire Bodyguards series and I loved it! Via Mari is one of my favorite authors so I knew it would be amazing. You can read it as a standalone but I think you will enjoy it much more if you read the series. These books are full of danger, sex, hidden agendas, intrigue and romance. Of course this book is no different. This is Alexis and Sheldon’s story and Alexis find herself in a dangerous situation dealing with sex traffickers. Sheldon is determined to protect her no matter what it costs him. This book if full of romance and hot scenes so be prepared. I read it in one setting because I couldn’t put it down. Will Sheldon end up protecting Alexis or will he get hurt trying to protect her? Sheldon is my new book boyfriend! Read Elusive to see what I’m talking about!

Life’s a Witch (New Orleans Nocturnes Book 3) AUDIO BOOK by Carrie Pulkinen – Review by Kerry Baker

/0 Comments/in , /by

Life’s A Witch Audio Book by Carrie Pulkinen is the third book in the New Orleans Nocturnes series. This is one so the most entertaining series that I have read and this book is no exception. Crimson is one of those characters that is so memorable and entertaining I could listen to this book just for her. She was brilliant when I was reading the book but listening to it she just came alive. I could picture her so much better and felt like you really got to feel her personality. I could so easily imagine everything from her mannerisms to try the way she spoke. For me this audio book was all about her. I am so glad that it is the same narrator for this book as it was was for the previous. She does such a great job of bringing the book to life and really makes it so easy to listen to. This is another brilliant success for one of my new favourite authors.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The Web Of Humanity: A Novel by Maria Turchin is a complex and detail led story that leads you on such a journey that you will be thinking about it for days afterwards. Once I had started this book I just could not put it down. I had no idea at all what to expect when I started it as this is a completely new author to me. What I got was a book so rich in detail and well developed that I got lost in it straight away. Everything about this book, from the storyline to the characters, was done just right. The book felt exciting and original. Even after it had finished I couldn’t stop thinking about it! This is utterly brilliant and I could not recommend it highly enough.

Elusive (Billionaire Bodyguards #5)Elusive by Via Mari
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This novel lives up to its name. The sexual tension is through the roof!
I love the world this series is set in. This time bodyguard Sheldon is trying to hold himself back from pursuing hairstylist Alexis, as he believes she is not a woman who can be a willing and obedient submissive in, but more importantly outside, of the bedroom. Alexis is attracted to Sheldon but isn’t willing to put herself out there without him showing he cares about her first. And in the background is the lingering threat of a man who couldn’t take Alexis’s “no” for an answer. He has a criminal record and is connected to human traffickers. Will this threat keep Sheldon and Alexis apart or bring them closer together?
There were some parts of this novel that went way to quick for my liking. Names and situations listed out that made it hard to follow who was doing what, and what was going on where.
This novel is certainly more focused on the relationship between Alexis and Sheldon rather than what’s going on in the mafia world. The Dom/sub relationship and world of sex clubs and BDSM are more prevalent in this novel as well.
I love that throughout this series the males may be Dom’s and involved with the mafia, but they actively combat human trafficking and support the survivors. While the FMC’s are submissive she’s not meek and willing to let the male(s) handle everything. The women are strong and have decided if they are willing to embrace their submissive side only for their Dom.

Is it really possible to go back to the one you left behind? Can he really accept you back into His loving arms? This book is just about that. Mafia Princess Milana left to get away from the insanity of the Sindicato life and pursue her dreams. But that means she has to leave the man that owns her heart behind. Fast forward to years later and she now knows Dane is what she wants. But did she burn that bridge to the ground? I enjoyed this book even though I wanted to hit both of the main characters. But this book was good and I am looking forward to the next in the series

This was a fascinating read from a new author.. I found it very interesting considering today’s world. She makes the plotline realistic I love the comparisons as to why geodome is better than the round domes The many secrets to the colonies. Campbell has a lot to deal with – leaving his family, which girl does he want to be with; and life’s ultimate question, where does he belong? T.S. takes on a pretty cool journey through Australia and Scotland (buckle up, it’s a doozy). This is the first of a series and I can’t wait to read more. So many questions left to be answered.

Chameleon was a deep dark tale and enveloped me from the first page. I was so entranced by Ms. Kalo’s characters and words that I finished it in one sitting. As amazing as this book is tread with caution it contains a few triggering things including rape, mental illness, and psychological manipulation…but over all it was a great gothic/creepy book that gave me chills during several scenes. Giving us a wonderful creepy, mysterious setting, she will magically hook you from the beginning. Ms. Kalo’s characters are well- developed and her story flows effortlessly, I look forward to seeing more from her.

This was fast paced, adventure story packed with action and twists. Mari was amazing as the lead female protagonist, strong and competent and so brave. Completely kick arse and I love that she was the one doing the rescuing. Set in the Columbian jungle, Mari is tasked with rescuing Chris in exchange for her freedom to live in the US and leave her old life behind. I didn’t realise that this was the second book in the series and so I am intrigued to read the first and any follow ups. I really enjoy McKinley as a writer and I felt that Regan Brown did a fantastic job of bringing her novel to life.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

WOW!!!… I don’t really know what to say about Luce Eterna Part One. My brain is totally scrambled and my emotions are all over the place. I’ll need some time to recover from this book. SJ Molloy was new to me until I discovered this series and now I can’t give her enough praise for this amazing series. This has definitely been the most powerful, emotional book of the series so far.
This book is so different from the first 4 books in that the tables have totally turned for Lucca and Lexi. Lexi has struggled with major anxiety due to a horrifying childhood and Lucca has totally been her rock, the person who grounded her. Now Lexi has recently given birth prematurely to twins and is excited to start a life as a family when their world is turned upside down. Surprisingly Lexi is the strong one who takes charge while Lucca totally falls apart. My emotions were all over the place. One minute I felt heart sorry for Lucca, then in a blink I wanted to kick his butt and tell him to get a grip. On the other hand sometimes I loved Lexi and other times I wanted her to calm down and just give Lucca a hug. I didn’t know which side I was on. It changed from page to page.
This is a deep and dark book, like the previous books in the series. I recommend that you have some tissues handy as this book is heartbreaking. I really can’t wait to read the climax of this amazing story.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The Web of Humanity tells the story of Anna, who travels to Europe in order to solve a decades old family mystery. Full of history, mystery, and great characters, this is a must read story for anyone who enjoys historical fiction. The vivid descriptions and colorful characters make the story relatable, heartwrenching, and take the reader back in time. With unique story telling styles and talent, Maria Turchin has written a wonderful masterpiece.

One of the most enjoyable parts of the book is that for most chapters, the final sentence of a chapter is the first sentence of the next chapter. I enjoyed this as a good way to streamline the story. Anna is a very real person in the story, and the reader can feel her excitement, anguish, and determination throughout the entire story.

5 stars, must read!

THE DEVOTED FAN (21ST Century Courtesan Book 5) by Pamela DuMond writing as P. S. DuMond. This is the final book in this amazing series and the conclusion was just as good as I had hoped. This is the story of Evie who used to be a high paid empath for men. They would pay enormous amounts of money to be with her and she healed many men but when she fell in love she couldn’t save him. When Wyatt died he left her with everything he had acquired. His millions, his homes, his dogs everything. She even has become really close with his brother. When Evie finally feels like she might be getting her happy back someone from her past shows up and tries to ruin her happiness. Will they succeed or will she finally end up happy with someone who has loved her a very long time. These books have so many layers and twists and turns that I really recommend reading each book slowly or rereading them which is what I did! You will not be disappointed if you read these books!

Dirty Kisses and Conflicting Wishes by Danielle Jacks was a fantastic romance that I couldn’t put down!

The story follows Zoe Merrill, a woman trying to strike out on her own in the big city who loses her boyfriend and her job. She runs into Damien Chuke, an old rival and ex-bestie to her brother, who has dreams of performing in London’s West Enid. Situations arise where they fake a relationship and it’s such fun to follow along their journey! I finished this book in a day and I can’t wait to consume the second one! I couldn’t put this down. The characters connection was believable and fun. I caught myself laughing out loud multiple times. (: Definitely give this one a read.

This is a newer author for me and I look forward to reading more from them in the future. This is a well written story about Kaysee and the adventure she goes on to get her husband back after he was abducted. This is a story that is full of action which kept me turning pages. There is so much going on in this story but the author did a great job of keeping me from getting confused. The characters are not only relatable but also bring the story to life on each page.

This is book 5 part one in The Luminara Series. And this  book is just as gripping and emotional ride from start to end. I do really recommend reading these books in order so you get a full understanding of the characters and their pasts.

In this story we are back with Lucca and Lexi. We also now have 2 babies. After Lexi was kidnapped and went through a traumatic birth the  babies are here and thriving. However the couple need to adjust to being parents and all the exhaustion and complications that involves. While learning to be the best parents possible they also have their issues from the past to deal with.

In this book we see a role reverse with Lexi being the strong one, which most people do when they become a mummy and Lucca is the one struggling with his new life and his past.

Can Lexi and Lucca work through these new obstacles? Will every parents nightmare destroy they both? How can they keep their relationship alive when they are struggling day to day?
This books is a great insight to what most new parents think and feel with regards to caring for their little ones and the impact it had on their lives.

The Way to Storey tells the story of Lu, a young girl being raised by her grandfather. Lu is homeschooled, and runs wild through the swamps that surround their home. Her grandfather has told her, however, that they are from another place, Storey, and that if anything ever happens to him, she is to “Follow the Birds” and they will lead her to Storey.

A sweet story of adventure, the characters are likeable and the book is fun to read. However, the ending was abrupt and was a let down after the build up of the rest of the book. Hopefully, the author continues the story with more books! Would make a great series!

Watching Max and Claudia’s relationship, which is not a “normal” pairing, no pun intended but truly magical. Witches, werewolves, magic and love, this book will definitely have you hooked until the end.

I was super excited for the next book in this series. And this was perfect. The author has an amazing talent of drawing you into her stories with the way she describes every little minute detail. You can tell that she certainly does her work based off the description of each character, items, and surroundings. I can visually imagine it in my head while reading her books. This was probably my favorite couple she has written about so far in her series. Their chemistry is so steamy yet as with all good stories there is always something standing in their way. If you are a fan of sexy, steamy, mystery and suspense then this is a great selection to read.

Is it really over?? Oh my goodness this series has had me wrapped since page 1 of book 1 and now I have finished book 5 and although I loved how this author ended this, I seriously don’t want it to be done.

I don’t think it is possible to read this series or this book out of order. This is a tightly woven series and each book plays off of the previous and right into the next. There are so many moving parts that in my opinion require these to all be read in order.

This was the perfect ending to this story, and I really wasn’t completely sure about anything until the very end. If you had told me this is where Evie would have ended up after reading the first book I would have thought you were crazy, and although I didn’t fully trust it, I was so so happy and completely fulfilled with how everything ended.

I can’t recommend this whole series highly enough… It is full of everything you ever want in a series. Danger, Love, Lust, Humor, Fear, Contentment, Steam, Suspense, Thrills, and edge of your seat reading most of the way.

I can not wait to reread this entire series, maybe more than once. A definite addition to my list of favorite series ever!

Many thanks to this author for a Uniquely Stellar Series!!

The Web of Humanity has a lot going on, needless to say that I was not expecting the wild adventure it took me on. Based on a true story The Web of Humanity goes from past to present flawlessly. While thought-provoking the things that The Web of Humanity makes us face aren’t exactly happy  items including racism, war, anger and more. But Ms. Turchin really makes her readers think with all of her different generations, and POV’s. This is my first read by Ms. Turchin, and she packed so much action, mystery, and more into her novel that I can’t wait to see what she comes up with next.

Deception, mystery and suspense.
This is a very intriguing paranormal. A unique storyline, this had me waiting for the other shoe to drop. There was a constant layer of suspicion throughout the whole story. I wasn’t overly fussed by the ending (I think I just wanted more) but the rest of the story makes up for it. The characters are well written, with the author cleverly offering a depth to each of the girls without info dumping. This is a really engaging read and I recommend this book.
