Rage (The Marcy series Book 1)Rage by Linda Burson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Rage is the first novel in the Marcy series by Linda Burson. This my second novel by this author.

While I have read the third novel, it was nice to go to the beginning of the journey.

Marcy is having nightmares and her boyfriend gives her an ultimatum: either seek help or he’s leaving.

What happens when Marcy meets Liam could possibly find love with him?

This story did start up a little slow, so it took me a minute to get into the novel but once I did, I couldn’t put the book down. I had all this questions. Why is March having nightmares? Why would her lover leave her if she doesn’t get help? Shouldn’t he be supportive? Is there more to Marcy that will learn?

So many questions as I continued to read!

I am glad I started from the beginning because I definitely want to catch up and understand where the story had taken these characters.

When the two meet, maybe it’s a time for them both to start to heal instead of only existing.

This was a really emotional book to read. I enjoyed it but it was hard to read. I imagine it would be even more so people who have children or have been in that situation.

I have read a few books by this author and this is by far my favorite and most memorable.

The love story between Mark and Angelia is unimaginable but it still works. I love that they are able to help each other move forward even if that wasn’t how the relationship initially was.

I look forward to the author’s next book.

The author did a really great job showcasing the hurt, misunderstandings and heartbreak the characters go through.

It’s been a while since I read such an thriller filled emotional book, but I look forward to the next book in the series.

I loved Paladin and how he was always there for Jayden. Because of what she went through, I was glad their relation was more slow and took more time to develop.

I will definitely have to go back read the original story but I look forward to reading more of this as well.

Isabella’s Painting is the first novel in the Karina Cardinal mystery series by Ellen Butler. This is my first novel by this author.

Instead of relaxing at home watching Netflix, Karina Cardinal is getting dressed to attend her boyfriend Patrick Dunne parent’s holiday party.

While there, she notices Patrick’s dad may be up to something that includes the stolen artwork that was taken from the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum years before.

The FBI was unable to solve and locate the paintings but with Karina’s new information it’s possible they may have been found.

I have not read a cozy mystery in over a year and have been wanting to. Reading this novel made me remember how much fun and entertaining they are.

While Karina is not a detective, she is really smart and is able to put clues together. And while working with a friend that is an FBI agent, sparks may fly.

The author did a great job combining an actual event within the story of this novel. I even did some research while reading and discovered more information about the heist which made it all the more to read.

I look forward to the next book in the series as well as the cover. The cover caught my eye before I read the summary.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Burning Night is novel by Nikki Broadwell. This is my first novel by this author.

Escaping an abusive relationship, Collie leaves with the help of her friend Mary who gets her a truck and money. But when her money is stolen, she is forced to return to exotic dancing. Though she is skeptical of it working because of her age.

Her goal is to attend Burning Night which is located in a small town in Alaska. She also meets younger man named Tim. Will she find happily ever after or will it just be another heartbreak?

I have been in a reading slump lately and was apprehensive about reading anything. The summary caught my attention and I thought I would give it a try. I’m glad I did. Collie was strong and vulnerable and it was great to read her growth and how she overcame obstacles. I was so happy when I was reading her leaving her abusive husband and trying to regain her self confidence that had been lowered over the years.

I don’t want to give too much away. With a strong female lead, a little romance and a theme of overcoming obstacles and reaching your goals, this is novel that can be relatable to anyone who reads it.

This story maybe short but it leaves you on the edge and doesn’t let go. I really enjoyed this novel and will read more by this author.

To overcome her fear and anxiety, Patrick offers to help her by just being her friend and helping her get comfortable with just conversation. Over time he find himself falling for her and worries that he isn’t good enough for her.

Dani feels an attraction to Patrick but doesn’t want to mess up the friendship they have and keeps telling herself they are just friends

Another installment of an amazing series that I can’t get enough of.

I really liked Dani and related to her cause I just became that way myself. Not because of any bad experience just started to isolate myself and developed anxiety talking to people over time. So I understood her anxiety when it came to talking to guys. I loved the decision where she made the decision to change herself because she wanted to normal and be able to talk in a social setting.

Patrick I liked and felt he could admit when he was wrong and apologize to make things right.

I really hope we get book with Sabrina. I would love to see who she falls in with and how she interacts with them.

Alex Gentry is a rogue werewolf that doesn’t stay in one spot for too long. She is Macey’s sister that disappeared years ago.

Bryce Samuels had an attracted to Alexis the first time he saw it which didn’t go anywhere but things change when he finds her at the hospital because her boyfriend.

Wanting to help her out her situation, he offers for her to stay at his house which he accepts even though she is reluctant. For Alexis just any a woman, and this just isn’t some common issue he is dealing with. The werewolf community is something he is in the dark about and while trying to protect him, Alexis may find out that she may have to spill her secrets.

I really loved this novel. It was refreshing for the female protagonist to be werewolf and get more backstory on Alexis. She was a mysterious characters from the first book and I was so excited to learn more about her such as fears.

Her relationship with Bryce was very fun to read. Especially with both attracted to each other but not acting on it.

Bryce is also someone I loved, he was such a sweetheart with wanting to help people but he could also be alpha when protecting people he cares about.

I really don’t want to give anything away. It was fast paced read with great characters that make you feel for them.

This is series I highly recommend and can’t wait for the next book in the series. I hope this series never ends.
