Fire & Ice (Spicetopia #3)Fire & Ice by Phoebe Alexander
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Fire & Ice was a great 5 star read and book 3 in the Spicetopia series.
Let’s just say that Fire & Ice describes these two characters to a tee.

Neve is head of security and Enya is the Director of PR for Spicetopia. They end up on a PR tour by themselves, when Cy has to return home unexpectedly. Neve doesn’t like to talk much and Enya is the complete opposite. She really annoys the crap out of Neve. They make it through the tour and return back to Spicetopia to discover that someone is trying to sabotage the park before it even opens.

During the staff only evening at the park lets just say that Neve and Enya have a very interesting encounter in the dungeon. Enya shares some interesting personal information with Neve and they discover they have some things in common. Just as things start to get even more steamy all heck breaks loose at the park.

WIll they find out who is behind the sabotage? Can these two actually have something between them?

There is so much more to the story from here. We get some crazy twists, mystery, suspense, etc. I was on the edge of my seat waiting to see who was trying to sabotage everything. This is a great opposites attract read. I really liked Neve and Enya these two were exactly what they needed in their lives. Be warned that once you start you won’t want to stop until your done. This is my favorite in the series so far and I can’t wait to read more. 1-click and get started today.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Revive was a great 4 star read and book three in the Rewind series and can be read as a stand alone.

I really liked Brandon and Patrick and their story.

Will the chemistry between these two test the patient, doctor boundaries? Can they have more?

Patrick has certain issues with bi men, and when he discovers Brandon is bi can he get past his issues? We also learn why Patrick feels the way he does, which helped me understand his feelings.

Elemental Fae Academy (Elemental Fae Academy, #1)Elemental Fae Academy by Lexi C. Foss
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Elemental Fae Academy was a great 5 star read and book one in the Elemental Fae Academy series. This is my first read from these authors and I really enjoyed it and can’t wait to read more from this series. This is a reverse harem and I couldn’t put the book down until I was done.

Claire has been raised by her grandparents, not knowing what she really was. When Claire kisses someone in a bar things change quickly. She finds out that she is really a fae and she now has powers. She finds out who the stranger she kissed is, he is also a fae.

Claire is different than most fae, she finds herself attracted to five different men due to the five elements. The men help Claire get control of her powers. She also has to deal with a mean girl group at the school where she is learning.

There is so much more that goes one. All of the secondary characters added a great element to the story. I will warn we get a heck of a cliffhanger and I can’t wait to get my hands on the next book. 1-click and get started today on this great series.

ForbiddenForbidden by Autumn Sand
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Forbidden was a hot and steamy 5 star read.

I was excited to read this book. The book starts with us going into club Forbidden, we meet Neria who is our hostess. She takes us through the club to seven doors, behind each door there is a different sexual scenario.

We get some very hot and steamy scenes that include some erotica as well. We also get some unexpected twists that added great elements to each story. Autumn does a great job of pulling you right in, once I started I couldn’t stop reading. This is a quick read that should be read with an open mind. I look forward to reading the next book.

Shameless (The Orphan Train Saga Book 2)Shameless by Sherry A. Burton
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Shameless was a good 4 star read and book two in The Orphan Train Saga series. This is an emotional read that will pull you right in. We continue with the story of the Orphan Train with Tobias’s story.

We start with Cindy and her mother finding all the journals and the keys for the boxes. As she and her mother start to read the journals, their relationship starts to change.

We meet Tobias in the first book and we get his story in this one. He has quickly learned how to survive on the streets and ends up joining a gang.When he sees Mileta he is quickly drawn to her and has the need to protect her.

Overall this is a good read and I really enjoyed this story.
This series has introduced me to the Orphan Train and I have done some research to learn more. It was such a sad thing and how these children were treated. I highly suggest you read book one in the series before this one, it will help you connect better with the characters and story. I look forward to reading more from this author and series.

TanglesTangles by Sharleen Scott
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Tangles was a great 5 star read. Once I started I didn’t want to put it down.

We meet Logan and his family in the beginning, he is a great father that loves his children. He is also someone that when he sets his mind to it he is determined to accomplish his goals.
Logan started to wonder what was going on with his mom when he was on the phone with his dad, she was asking strange questions but his dad assured him she was fine. During a visit he knew his mom behavior was odd and she injured his son. Logan finally gets his father to share what is wrong with his mother, Alzheimers.

When Logan’s father passes he ends up caring for his mother.This is definitely not an easy task and he ends up hiring a nursing service to help him. When he discovers some journals that his mother wrote he ends up with lots of questions and discovers secrets that his mother had, secrets that make him angry and confused.

Will he be able to find someone that can help put the pieces together and give him the answers he’s looking for?

Be prepared for an emotional rollercoaster. My heart went out to Logan, having a friend who’s family went through Alzeimers with her mother this felt like it hit home. Sharleen Scott has done a great job with her writing and you feel like your right there with Logan. If you’re looking for a great read, I highly suggest this one. I look forward to reading more from this author.

All of the secondary characters added a great element to the story. I was on the edge of my seat waiting to see what was coming next. Zoe Burton pulled me right in with her writing and I can’t wait to read more. 1-click and get started today on this great series.

The Fisher Men X-ing Lines (Book #2)The Fisher Men X-ing Lines by Rebel Nicks O’Dey
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The FIsher Men X-ing Lines was a good 4 star read.

This is Connor and Rika’s story, they have an interesting relationship. These two actually share an apartment but only communicate via text, their chemistry was undeniable. This went on for about a year. Rika is also a writer and is currently working on a book.

Will these two still have the same connection once they meet in person?

All of the secondary characters added a great element to the story. Nonna was a favorite of mine that had me LOL at times. Rebel Nick’s O’Dey does a great job of pulling you in with her writing. Overall I enjoyed this read and I look forward to reading more from this author. You can read this as a stand alone, however I highly suggest reading book one first.
