Nathaniel (Dragon Hearts #1) by Carole Mortimer – Review by Jana Teppih

Nathaniel (Dragon Hearts #1)Nathaniel by Carole Mortimer
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Nathaniel is the first book in Carole Mortimer’s paranormal romance series Dragon Hearts. Carole Mortimer is a new writer for me but Nathaniel will not be the last book I read! I am looking forward to reading the other books in Dragon Hearts series and I think I need also venture out and dig into other series as I absolutely loved her writing!
Nathaniel is exciting paranormal romance taking place in Wales!!!! At a castle called Pendragon!!!! There is mystery, secrets, passion… I loved how the writer pulled from different legends and setting the stage for some more goodness to come! I loved how the heroine of the story – Chloe – is not a meek submissive blushing maid but a smart mouthed wench who can connect dots and can stand up to the fiercest of alphas! I can only imagine what kind of rides the other seven brothers will take us! AND they have been already published so I can just pick up copies and spend the dreary weekends with some hot and steamy alpha dragon shifters!

Claiming her Mates by Dia Cole
4 Stars

This is a paranormal shifter story. I think the idea behind this book is original; shifters dealing with a zombie apocalypse. The story starts off full of action which quickly grabbed my attention. It was interesting how the author explained the way the apocalypse started. The rest of the book continues with hormone induced, lust filled pages. A mention of the zombies an after thought. Don’t get me wrong, I enjoyed every moment of them especially the scene between Havana, Mason and Liam. It was panty wetting. I just feel if the author had blended the two storylines a little more, it would have been better.

There are characters that were spoken alit about that we don’t meet and the book ends with the story being incomplete. This book is a terrific setup for the rest of the series. I’m interested in finally meeting Nathan and seeing what happens with Tasha in the next part.

Snatching Dianna (Feisty Lawyers Book 1) by Seelie Kay – Review by Liz Vrchota

Snatching Dianna (Feisty Lawyers, #1)Snatching Dianna by Seelie Kay
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Snatching Dianna is the first book in the Feisty Lawyers series from Seelie Kay. I have read some of her other erotic stories in her Kinky Briefs series so I was super excited to see what would lie between the covers of this sexy new cover from her. I knew the writing would for sure be hot and captivating at the least and well Seelie Kay delivered all that and so much more.

Janet MacLachlan used to be a covert agent that is being called upon to help look for a missing girl, Dianna. All the clues are pointing in the direction of a slave trafficking cartel. Will they be able to actually prove that she was taken by them or will she just be another girl gone missing without a trace?

The action and adventure in the book totally balance the tad of romance and steam perfectly. I was never bored, always on the edge of my seat. I can’t wait to find out what will come next in the series!

A Second Chance (Powder River Pack Book 1) by Brooke May – Review by Emily Walsh

A Second Chance (Powder River Pack Book 1)A Second Chance
ByBrooke May
My Rating: 4 of 5 stars

A Second Chance (Powder River Pack Book 1) by Brooke May is a highly emotional, raw, paranormal shifter romance; that tells the tale of the struggle of lost love. It’s a tale of trying to build trust and friendship, in order to get that second chance.

My first read by this author and with a genre I love, so needless to say I had had my expectations high. I’m glad to say I wasn’t led astray and am very happy with this read.

This book isn’t your normal light hearted shifter romance. It had a looming sadness, that’s made apparent in the first chapter. That tone seems to stay as the story moved on, and we meet our MC’s. It was a nice feature and it makes you get into their minds sets, connecting you; right away you know this isn’t going to be a happy-go-lucky read. This story is about two broken souls, who have been hurt by love, are angry at it and collide. So there is a lot of ups, down, fighting and of course, raw frustering emotions.

This book isn’t only about the strong feels, it’s richly detailed and has a smooth easy writing style, that pulls you into this gem. This book is worth it and it gets my super high recommendation and my stamp of approval. So I hope you give this feel kicker a read, you won’t regret it.

Happy Reading

Beats of the HeartBeats of the Heart by Charli B. Rose
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is a second chance-friends to lovers story that pulled at my heartstrings. I enjoyed this book from beginning to end. It is my first book by this author, I enjoyed how creative the story was and the characters were relatable. The emotional roller coaster ride Izzy and Dawson took me on kept me turning pages until the end. He is a rocker who has been in love with her since childhood. They certainly give long distance relationship a new name. I highly recommend reading their story.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

A Second Chance by Brooke May: Powder River Pack Book One

5-Stars

Anna and Derek are meant to be mates but when her parents’ divorce, she is forced to move away with her mother at sixteen. Separated from each other they both believe that the other moved on. Ten years later as her father is starting to die, Anna returns to settle his accounts. She knows she will run into Derek.

Derek has been heartbroken for ten years since Anna left. It completely changed him. He hates that he let her go and has been unable to connect with his wolf since she left. When he finds out that her father is near death he begins to prepare for her returning, believing whole heartedly that she has moved on.

I loved following the reunion of these two wonderful characters. There were so many emotions present in this novel. I hated that the two lost all that time together. I found that the storyline was easy to read and get lost in. I also really enjoyed Spence’s character. He was Anna’s best friend.

Climbing the Walls (Hart and Cole) by Sacha T.Y. Fortune – Review by Sarah Oakes

Climbing The Walls (Hart & Cole Book 1)Climbing The Walls by Sacha T. Y. Fortuné
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

A great read about married life. Kris and Nicole are happily married with a kid. But Nicole works hard and is always kept busy by her boss Darren. Can they keep in married bliss or will work life drive them apart?
A great read. Well developed plot. Well developed characters like Nicole working hard to achieve her dreams or Kris trying to be a good father or Nikita as a sweet little kid curious about the world. I loved the novels exploration of the ups and downs of married life which was fun to read. I also loved the use of small space settings in the house and office which was brilliant for every day life and also to increase tensions between Kris and Nicole in a confined space. The flashbacks worked well with the plot but were often abrupt to the narrative of the present.
The only issue I would raise is that there were too many long sentences that made it difficult to read which could be resolved with a variety of sentence lengths. Overall, a great read and I would give it four stars.

A Second Chance (The Powder River Pack #1)A Second Chance by Brooke May
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

A Second Chance by Brooke May is the first book in the Powder River Pack series. It is a great story about fighting for what you want or learning to live with the hole it leaves behind.
This is a new author to me and I was excited to get into this book. The blurb promised an angsty tale and that is definitely what you get. I was drawn into Derek so easily. It was so easy to feel what he was going through. And it was easy to understands Annabelle’s decision over her new life and her old.
The story had good pace that flowed from start to end. There was never a point where my attention wandered or I thought there was too much going on. An enjoyable book, I am looking forward to the rest of the series.

Hope’s Deceit (The Fated Book 2)
By: Angela McPherson
5 out of 5 stars

The story Hope’s Deceit (The Fated Book 2) by Angela McPherson is a YA/fantasy/romance book. It is a story that I was looking forward to reading since I finished the first book. I found myself not wanting to put it down until I had finished the last page. This story has Trinity’s 18th birthday drawing near. The danger from Mella and her Rogues is of constant concern and she must keep up her training. In this story the feelings that both Trinity and Blain feel for each other start out strong. They are constantly together. Then something changes. The connection between has been lost or stopped. What has happened? There are revelations uncovered and truths that are revealed. Questions are raised and need to be answered. Where has Mella gone to and what is she planning next? How many more abilities will Trinity manifest? Will Trinity be able to control her abilities? Will the connection between Trinity and Blain be felt by them again? If chaos breaks out who will survive? Read this book to find out. There are some twists and turns to this story. Trinity is becoming faster and stronger. With what she is going through she is one brave girl. I loved reading about her and Blain. Most of the additional characters that are in this story were brought forward from the first book. This is a series that I believe should be read in order to fully understand what is going on. Don’t miss out on the wonderful second story in this series that will have you turning pages to find out what happens next. Highly recommended story and series.

Caught in Make-Believe (The Caught Series Book 3)Caught in Make-Believe by Sharleen Scott
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Caught in Make-Believe by Sharleen Scott is the third book in the Caught Series and follows the story of Jace and Samantha.

The story is following Jace who is an investigated Journalist but something happens while he is researching for a story that lands him in trouble. As he is in hiding he stumbles upon a town where he encounters a woman who he wants to get to know more, but with his past will he be able to pursue happiness without getting her involved in his history.

Samantha owns a bakery and is a successful businesswoman but has always been unlucky in love, her last relationship ended pretty badly as she is about to give men the big heave ho until Jace walks in and throws all caution out of the window.

The story is full of twists and turns and the chemistry between these two characters jumps of the page. The writing is brilliant and draws you into the story from the first chapter, with the twists and turns, added in some suspense will have you frantically turning the pages to see what happens next. This is the first book in this series I have read and I didn’t feel like I had missed anything from the previous books in this serious. I would recommend this book and I will be looking at reading the first two books to see what I have missed.

Climbing the Walls (Hart and Cole Book 1) by Sacha T.Y. Fortuné – Review by Tracy Wilkin

Climbing The Walls (Hart & Cole Book 1)Climbing The Walls by Sacha T. Y. Fortuné
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Climbing the Walls is book one in the Hart and Cole series by Sacha T. Y. Fortuné. New author for me, so I was instantly intrigued. First impression of Nicole is that she is a master manipulator, and will go to great lengths to get her way. She wants her way and she wants it’s now!! She is a passive aggressive character, one who maneuvers Kris to do her bidding and uses any means necessary. I grew to adore her and wanting to be her. Despite feeling frustrated at times, this story is incredibly well written. It is blatantly evident in the artestry with words, the effort, the emotion and soul that went into each character, building the foundations for a mindblowing series.

Kris and Nicole struggled with the trials of marriage, family and careers. Things were said in the heat of the moment, things were left unsaid. I was an honest and insightful look into a modern marriage, where they try to have it all and the battle to maintain the normal. The author masterfully and tastefully painted a picture of reality, intensity, attraction, and so much more. Many elements made up this tale, coming together maybe not perfectly, but beautifully. Kris was endearing and made my heart sing. Every time I thought of him my heart would race, as he was charisma personified. He just appealed to me on a superior level. Climbing the Walls was brilliant and a book that leaves a memorable impression. 5 stars.

Claiming Her Mates: Book One – A Paranormal Shifter Romance Series (Claiming Her Mates Series Book #1) by Dia Cole – Review by Angela Hayes.

Claiming Her Mates (Claiming Her Mates #1)Claiming Her Mates by Dia Cole
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

 

Claiming Her Mates: Book One is the first book in A Paranormal Shifter Romance Series by Dia Cole. This is quite an original take on the shifter romance story, as it incorporates Lykos shifters (wolves), military experimentation, a worldwide flu pandemic- with a zombie apocalypse. There is action aplenty in this steamy reverse harem/ménage story. There’s danger, drama, action, adventure, tension, suspense, some mystery, intrigue, sizzle, passion, and romance.
Havana James (Vana) has been on her own since she was 16 years old- doing whatever she needed to do to get by. She’s beautiful, seductive, independent and sassy. Her past could have made her hard and cold, but instead, she’s resilient, compassionate and caring. She’s at work one night when some sexy strangers swoop in and demand she leave with them. She mistakenly thinks they’re the police- but soon realises that she’s wrong. In the process of trying to sneak away from them, she places herself in a very deadly situation- but luckily for her the strangers are there to save the day. They finally convince her that they are there to make sure she stays safe and to take her out of harms way. She is a little wary, but as danger mounts, she’s really left with little choice but to let them ‘help’. As the four of them spend time together, it is apparent that there is a strong attraction between them, a powerful force that is hard to deny. But not everyone is pleased to have her around. The tension mounts and sparks fly. What happens when their sizzling chemistry bubbles over and their passions ignite? Will they make it to safety? Who are these ‘men’ and why are they helping her? What happens when secrets are revealed- will Vana be strong enough to handle the truth?
This book started off a little slow, and for the first half of the book the story lacked the depth that I was hoping for….. But the second half of the story really got really interesting and really made up for the slower start. The characters were really great, especially throughout the second half of the book. They each had their own unique personalities, quirks, and flaws- which made them realistic, believable, and likeable. I must admit that I really didn’t take to Gabriel for the first half of the book- he was difficult, prickly, and cold. But when the story evolved, I got an understanding of what made him the way he was, my heart ached for what he’d been through. So, my feelings for him did a complete flip from hate to love over the course of the book. Mason is such a sweetheart, the kind and nurturing one of the group- he made my heart go pitter-patter! Liam is a sexy giant of a man- he had me at 7 foot bearded protector, and I loved his cheeky, flirty nature, too (swoon).
The story is told from these four points of view, which gives the reader a well-balanced/complete perspective of what’s happening and what they’re all going through.
I loved the unique take on the whole shifter romance, I thought it was very clever of Ms. Cole. I enjoyed the story a lot, especially the second half. This is the first part though- as the story is set to continue in in part two, which I can’t wait to get my hands on. There’s also a prequel coming out soon, which I am excited to read, too!

Thank you, Ms. Cole!

Book 2: The Catch

Sassy, voluptuous Paisley Parker has always been a woman on a mission. First, it was to make a name for herself as a BBW burlesque dancer in New York, and now it’s to become Manager Extraordinaire of The Factory, a members only lifestyle club in Ocean City, Maryland. When Cap and Leah Sheldon hand over the reins, Paisley’s first task is to hire a web development company to create a new website for the club.

But she found it impossible to keep an eye on Sirena without her heart wanting in on the action…not to mention other parts of her body.

Sirena Horne used the local swing club, The Factory, as an escape. She knew Jessie meant well, but there was no way she was opening herself to any more heartache than she already carried.

Before they can have a second chance, they have to live through their first love… and heartbreak.

Izzy ~
We shouldn’t have taken the risk. We should’ve stayed just friends. Best friends. But only friends. But our hearts were foolish. I’d loved him forever. So, three years ago when he offered what I always longed for, I grabbed it with both hands. But I couldn’t hold on tight enough. The beauty of love blinded me. I didn’t see it coming. Didn’t expect to lose everything. My friend. My heart. My art. My privacy. All of them casualties of love lost.

Dawson ~
Every beat of my heart sang her name. She was my muse. Without her, there’d be no music. I was riding the high of fame and fortune. I had it all—status, money, her. Until the thing I’d always wanted cost me the thing I’d always needed. Love’s song drowned out all the warnings. Now she was gone. So was the music. So was my will. I was left with only silence.

What happens when two hearts sharing one beat fall out of sync?

NOTE: This is part ONE of Dawson and Izzy’s story. Their story will continue in early 2019.

~ AMAZON ~

I know I’m supposed to step into 3rd person here, but I just can’t do it. Hope you’ll excuse me for just being me.

I’m a reader and music lover, but I never imagined combining those loves into this. I took those two passions and started dreaming up stories that flowed with musical undercurrents.

As a romance reader, I’m a chaser of happily ever afters, so I promise I will deliver them to all the couples featured in my stories. (It may take them a while. Sometimes they don’t do what I tell them to.) The heroes of my tales are sensitive, strong, sexy and swoon-worthy. And the heroines are smart, sometimes sassy, sweet and sincere. I promise some heat and some sweet.

Life isn’t all sunshine and love like they tell you as a child. Life is about pain and sometimes love doesn’t stand the test of time.

Member of the Powder River Pack, werewolf Derek Sumerland had found his one true mate after tragedy struck at an early age. Annabelle Daniels was his everything until she wasn’t.

And now he lives his life with the daily reminder of the fact he didn’t fight for her or go after her when he should have. His heart is wrecked; his chest is forever in a vice and yet, he somehow finds a way to go on with his so called life.

Annabelle left her past with a broken heart. She did her best to never look back until her estranged father began to edge closer to his death bed.

Even with thoughts of Derek, it is guilt that pushes her back to Fetterman, Wyoming. She didn’t expect to see him and certainly didn’t expect to find a handsome, angry man where the young man she loved stood.

He wasn’t lying when he said she was the one.

Annabelle must decide between the love of her life and the life she has worked hard to achieve.

Can they have a second chance?

While on maternity leave with her youngest, Brooke was putting laundry away when she looked at a poem she had written in high school that was framed in her son’s bedroom. That poem triggered the idea of My Cowboy and soon she was sitting in front of her computer with her infant next to her writing her first love story that wasn’t a fanfiction.

DANGEROUS GROUND: Tina and Chase’s Story (Under Ground Book 5) by Alice Rachel – Review by Krystal Gaston

Dangerous Ground: Tina and Chase's StoryDangerous Ground: Tina and Chase’s Story by Alice Rachel
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Dangerous Ground is a part of the Underground Series written by Alice Rachel and should be read before Breaking Ground. This is Tina and Chases story. There is a trigger warning at the beginning of the story warning those who may not be able to handle certain situations. With that being said I thought it was a great story with intense emotions and characters. There are a few pages to help you get reacquainted with characters, places, etc. Dangerous Grounds story is told like all the others in the series with strong characters, strong emotions and strong storylines.

Truly Unfortunate written by C.A. King. This is definitely not my first book by C.A. King and it won’t be my last each book has a unique spin and twist that you love and hate as the story goes. Truly Unfortunate is no different, as the story progresses you think you have it figured out, you for your own case and motive and then boom something else happens and you have to rethink everything. Then the end comes and you realize you were right and wrong the entire time but you can’t wait to see if there is another book and how it goes.

This book is the third book in the Caught Series and can be read as a stand-alone. It is a romantic suspense story that kept me turn the pages while i was on the edge of my seat. I enjoyed this book and I really liked the main characters Jace and Samantha. Samantha is a manager at a bakery who has the worth luck relationship wise. Jase is a writer/ investigative journalist who has made his way back home after taking a 5 year hiatus. Tragedy and treats made him run the first time, what will happen when he runs into his past.
Will the two of them move on from their past and start a relationship together? Or will does the past hurt to much to take a chance on each other? Get this book to find out!!
This is a well written story and I would recommend it to a friend.

Mouse Trapped: Satan's Devils MC #9Mouse Trapped: Satan’s Devils MC #9 by Manda Mellett
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Mouse Trapped by Manda Mellett is book 9 in the Satan’s Devil’s Series. This is Mouses story and while you see him come and go from the previous stories there’s never much to him he’s the man behind the curtain for the MC. In Mouse Trapped you get a more in depth look at who mouse is and his part in the series. Marianna is a strong woman and while she has a few break downs she puts on a good front when she needs to. This story is about their weird relationship and the fear of deportation. There are ups and downs as you getting the story and the previous books come together even more while reading this.

Caught in Make-Believe (The Caught Series Book 3)
By Sharleen Scott

This is the first book I have read by this author, and even though this is the third book in the series I had no problem following the story. Now that I have read this book I am definitely going to go read the first two. I found this book intriguing and suspenseful. I enjoyed reading this story from beginning to end. Jace isn’t looking for a relationship, and Samantha just got out of a bad one. Even though neither of them expected it they found themselves attracted to each other and wanting to see where it goes. Jace’s past comes back to haunt him and it ends up putting both of them in danger. This story kept me on the edge of my seat and I couldn’t put it down till I got to the end. If you want to know how their relationship ends up then this is a must read. I highly recommend this book, I will definitely be reading more from this author.

CAUGHT IN MAKE-BELIEVE (CAUGHT SERIES – BOOK 3) BY Sharleen Scott – Review By Melissa Agena

Caught in Make-Believe (The Caught Series Book 3)Caught in Make-Believe by Sharleen Scott
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

What a great book! Caught in Make-Believe is the third book in the Caught Series that is written by Sharleen Scott. I haven’t read any of the others at all but I didn’t have to. This can be read as a standalone. However, I always recommend reading books 1 and 2 first just to have some sort of background. This book follows Samantha and Jace. Samantha just coming out of a relationship where her now ex-fiancé cheated on her within days of asking her to marry him. Samantha also runs the local bakery. Jace hasn’t been back to town in quite some time. He used to be a journalist and is now a novelist writing under pen name of J.C. Saylor and an anonymous blogger. However, he is back in town with his trusty sidekick Martin the dog. However, Martin isn’t the only one that may have followed him into town. Jace discovered the truth behind a dark net crime organization, which caused him more than he bargained for, which caused him go into hiding. Then he meets Samantha and things start to fall into place for him. Unfortunately, Samantha is having a harder time figuring things out. There is a lot of banter and sexy moments between the two. There is definite chemistry between the two and I was hoping that they would be able to stay together. There are definitely a lot of twists and turns and enough suspense to keep you turning those pages! A definite must read for anyone!

Four Stars

This story gives you the feeling that it’s just another HEA. But you would be wrong to think that. Jace is more than just a writer and his choices has put a lot of people in danger. He experienced a lot of lose and pain. I didn’t like him at first but he grew on me as the story went on. Sam is a great character and I felt a great match for Jace. She was funny and down to earth. She didn’t tae herself too serious and I amirer how strong she was. She kept her head up in the face of so much disappointment. Liked the way the author put this story together. The mystery, suspense and action was so thrilling. I had no clue what to expect next. The author gave these characters a view of the world that not many experience. The thought that you don’t have a place to live or how you were going to feed your kid. Most people don’t worry about this but it’s a fear many have. I enjoyed how quick and smooth this story was. I didn’t really have to stop and reread anything. Overall this is something you would want to read if you are looking for something more than your usual.

Claiming Her Mates By Dia Cole

5-Stars

Havanna is still struggling over her last breakup. She has sworn off guys and just wants to focus on earning her keep as a stripper. When the world goes crazy with what seems like a zombie apocalypse due to an issue with the Canine Flu vaccine three men are sent to retrieve her. Her former lover Nathan sends Mason, Liam, and Gabriel to retrieve her and keep her safe. He plans to make her his but the unexpected happens. Discovering that the men are not quite human she decides that they are hers. Does she have to claim just one or can she have all three. What will Nathan do when he finds out his friends have stolen his girls heart?

This novel was easy to read and get lost in. I could not put this steamy romance down. Liam, Mason, and Gabriel were described as sexy and strong. It was easy to picture these men as well as Havanna as the story progressed. I also liked that this paranormal steamy romance was mixed with a doom’s day type scenario. The scenario seemed very realistic.

Shoot Me by Lynda Filler – Review by Michelle Austin

Shoot Me (Lie to Me #2)Shoot Me by Lynda Filler
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Shoot Me was a great 5 star read and book two in the Lie to Me series. The story picks up shortly after where Lie to Me left off.

Layla is heart broken after Mateo’s departure, she had finally opened up and thought he was the one, only to be left all alone. She has decided to go work in Guadalajara for a few months to get away and write.

Pablo whispered, “It’s the things you cannot see, your vulnerability, the sadness of your memories, and your openness to love, that makes you so beautiful.”

Layla has quite the adventures and is really enjoying her time. She also meets several men throughout the story, some friends some lovers. I had my favorite but enjoyed all of them. There are some hot scenes, romance, danger, and so much more.

All of the secondary characters were great, I loved Marisela. My emotions were all over the place. Will Layla finally get what she’s truly looking for? If you’re looking for a great read I suggest this series, I really like Layla and her story and I can’t wait to read the next book in the series.

Caught in Make-Believe (The Caught Series Book 3)Caught in Make-Believe
BySharleen Scott
My Rating: 4 of 5 stars

Caught in Make-Believe (The Caught Series Book 3) by Sharleen Scott was a fast moving, suspense, romance that had me hooked from start to finish.

My first read by this author and this series, I was pulled in right away by the, in your face opening, that not only set the stage it showed us were this story was going to go. I love those cold opens, sometimes being tossed into a story in progress is the best way to get submerged, if done right, and Sharleen Scott more than did it right.

As this being the third book, and me being me, not starting were I should, I didn’t feel like I was missing anything, as this does read as a standalone. As I got to know more about the side characters, I learned that they have stories of their own, and if they’re anything like this one, I’m going to be in for a treat.

Jumping in we meet Sam in a very, unplents situation, we get a good look at her as a person, and I liked her right off the bat. Girl got no time for BS. Now for Jace, even though he came across as a t-bag, there is a sadness to his character, and right away you can’t help but be drawn to him. As we get more into his backstory and his dark past, you get a better sense of why he is the way that he is. As these two get closer and connect, and fall, it just makes you all melty. It progressed at a steady pace, nothing felt forced and you can’t help but root for them.

The overall plot, and subplot is intriguing and gives this story a little something special. The added suspense mystery adds a danger element to the sweetness, making the story feel balanced and entertaining. That aside the writing was easy to follow, the POV switches were clean and clear as who was talking. I never felt confused or lost. This book is damn near perfect, and I can’t wait to dive into the other two books.

Overall this book is worth your time and energy. So please take my super high recommendation and my stamp of approval, that you will get sucked into this world and be unable to put it down.

Happy Reading

Mouse Trapped: Satan’s Devils MC #9 By Manda Mellett – Review by Katie Kearney

Mouse Trapped: Satan's Devils MC #9Mouse Trapped: Satan’s Devils MC #9 by Manda Mellett
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Mouse Trapped: Satan’s Devils MC #9 By Manda Mellett. This series just keeps getting better in my opinion. While this is book can definitely be read as a standalone without any confusion, you’ll definitely be wanting more after it. I was excited to get a story on Mouse and what a story the author gave us readers. It’s not your typical girl meets boy romance but non of these stories really are and that’s what makes them not only unique but also beloved. The author write about hard subjects and makes readers feel everything soul deep. I’m always up way into the night because I simply can’t put the book down and this story wasn’t any different. The characters are complex and relatable, with a well written storyline that had me completely drawn in from page one! I’m excited to see where the author takes readers next.
