Conveniently Yours (Titans Of Manhattan #1)Conveniently Yours by Anise Storm
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Caspian is such a broken man inside when he appears to the outside world to have it all. Now his Uncle is dying and has forced him to marry to keep his fortune. When he runs into an old childhood friend that is in a desperate situation with her ill mother, he thinks they can solve each other’s problems. It doesn’t take long for Caspian and Paisley to realize that there is no way either of them can keep it strictly a professional arrangement. Yes, there is undeniable hot sizzling chemistry between the two of them but there is so much more than that. Finding out about Caspian’s childhood broke my heart and made his current life up to reconnecting with Paisley make so much sense. Paisley makes him want to be her Prince, her Knight in Shining Armor, even though he uses less than completely honest measures to try to show her how much she means to him. It all blows up in his face and he quickly does everything he can to make it up to her and beg her forgiveness. Can love really conquer all? The ending was epic and absolutely took my breath away! I cannot wait to read the rest of the Titans series.

Conveniently Yours is the first book in the Titans of Manhattan series by Anise Storm. I have read a few of this author’s books before and loved every one, so I didn’t even have to think about purchasing this book to read, and happily one-clicked a copy and dove in as soon as it hit my Kindle.
I have to be honest, the start of this book had me a little worried as I was pretty sure I was going to hate Caspian, our male MC… but I kept reading and surprisingly he, and the author, won me over in only a few short chapters. By that time I was well and truly hooked- completely invested in the characters and the outcome of their story.
Caspian Archer is a titan of the corporate world. His past still haunts him- the driving force behind his rise to success. He leads an enviable lifestyle, with anything he wants within his reach. So, when his uncle demands that Caspian marries quickly, or face losing everything he has worked so hard for, Caspian has no choice but to come up with a cunning plan. Bumping into his long-lost childhood friend in his hour of need seems quite fatuitous, for them both.
Paisley Fischer is down on her luck- all her hopes and dreams are crumbling before her, and on top of it all she faces losing her beloved mother if she can’t find the funds to provide the medical care she desperately needs. But a blast from the past might just hold the key to not only keeping her head above water, but more importantly being able to properly care for her mother. Will she agree to his unconventional proposal? Has she got what it takes to carry out the plan? This story is definitely worth the read to find out!
This story is a superb fake marriage contemporary romance with plenty of chemistry, sparks, and sizzle. There are angsty and emotional moments, and times where these two characters either made me want to shake some sense into them or wrap my arms around them in a huge hug for what they had been, or were going through….
Colour me hooked on this series now and I can not wait to get my hands on Book #2, it can’t come quick enough!

Happy reading!

Thank you, Anise Storm!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

A delightful, easy read! I read this sweet novella easily in one sitting. The author creates a beautiful whirlwind romance with lovely characters. The attraction between Ben and Thea is palpable from their first meeting and the beginning of their journey is something you’d expect in a movie! As with many novellas, I wished for a little more deep character development, but you still get a really good feel for the characters and their lives. This is a sweet, no pun intended, romance with the slightest hint of drama, but mostly a sweet, easy read. It was well-written and easy to follow and I’d be interested in other stories by this author!

This was a really good book! This is a fake fiance/fake marriage kind of story, and I thoroughly enjoyed reading this story. It took me several chapters to really start getting into it, and I feel like the author skipped around a lot of events that she could have went into more detail about, like the wedding and just their life in general. Weeks and months would go by and everything was just kind of skipped or glossed over. I really enjoyed reading this story, it was enthralling and captured my attention and I loved the characters, but I would have enjoyed having a bit better of a timeline while I was reading this. I did enjoy this boom however and I can’t wait to read the next installment of this series!

Magic-Price (The Crown of Stones, #1)Magic-Price by C.L. Schneider
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

An interesting dark fantasy with a tortured protagonist. Ian Troy fears the power his body can wield, and has attempted for many years to drown out the calling to release it. He is shamed by how uncontrollable his magic can be, and has paid dearly at the times it has taken over him. Having white-knuckled through the temptations for a decade, he stumbles into a battle which thrusts him back into the world of magic. I liked getting to know this unlikely hero, the pieces of dark and the pieces of light. The plot has plenty of battle scenes with armed combatants, and a nefarious villain to be rooted out. Lots of twists and turns in the plot as Troy is forced back to answer for his past sins and to stop future ones. A solid book that will have you turning the pages as fast as you can.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Caspian Archer came from nothing until his uncle took him in, raised him as his own, and taught him everything he knew about running a highly successful company. When his uncle realizes that Caspian has become a workaholic, he tries to resolve it in the only way he can think of how to. He gives him an ultimatum. Get married and keep the company he has worked hard for over the years, or stay single and lose it all. For Caspian, that is easier said than done. He has surrounded himself with women that are beautiful and enjoyable, but not marriage material. Then he bumps into Paisley, a girl from his past that he knew before his uncle took him in. She’s unassuming, destitute, and the perfect girl for his dilemma. That is, until they actually fall in love with each other! Caspian has to open himself up to love or lose her and his chance at true happiness forever.

For the most part, I enjoyed this read. While I could not identify with Caspian or his world, I did connect with Paisley. I was drawn into their love story rather quickly. I appreciated that when Paisley was destitute, she never lost her pride and she knew her self worth. I would have liked to have seen more interactions with the other Titans of Manhattan, as this is the first book in the series. The next Titan was introduced in a very cursory manner in the middle of the book and wasn’t really mentioned again until the very end.

All in all, it was a quick read that was fun. However, it was a little too detailed for me in some parts. LOL I would definitely categorize this as a steamy, adult read.

As soon as the end of October/ beginning of November comes around I am in Christmas mode. My favorite part about the holiday approaching is reading a good, wholesome holiday romance. Think made for TV movie, in book form. I loved this novella from start to finish. It truly had everything I’ve come
to love in a holiday romance, cute, relatable characters, a believable storyline and a strong writing style. It isn’t often I find myself liking both main characters, I often find female main characters as needy or over the top, this wasn’t the case in this storyline. This is a new author to me so as always I didn’t quite know what to expect. She exceeded my expectations and I look forward to looking into her writing more in the future.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book is a sequel, but can be read without reading the first book. This book is a suspenseful mystery that kept my attention and made me want to keep reading. The author describes characters and settings with enough detail I could picture the scenes in my mind. I especially loved the attention given to food; I felt as though I were dining and experiencing the meals with the characters. As far as the mystery, I was happy the author kept me guessing who the killer was. Pick this one up if you are looking for a great mystery with a shocking ending.

This book is one of those you can’t put down because it’s a great romance and just makes you feel like anything is possible at Christmas time. Thea Sheldon meets Benjamin Sweet when he knocks on her bakery door as she is closing up shop for Thanksgiving weekend. There’s instant chemistry between them but Thea is apprehensive. Although Ben is very forward in asking Thea out, Thea finds that she is attracted to him.
The author did a wonderful job of describing the bakery and other locations, the characters are wonderful and at times I’d even say amazing. It’s a feel good Christmas romance. This novella is the perfect book to bring happiness to your holiday season.

This story captivated me from page one. Caspian was raised around wealth for most of his life by his uncle and has worked hard to one day take over his uncle’s company. His uncle finds out he is dying and, in his will, tells Caspian that he must wed…for one year plus a day or the company turns over to his cousins. Paisley’s mom was in a car accident and has been in a coma for months, her insurance is running out and needs to be moved to another facility. Paisley doesn’t know what she is going to do to pay for the care her mother still needs.
Caspian and Paisley knew each other a lifetime ago, growing up as neighbors. They happen to run into each other at the hospital after visiting their prospective family members. Caspian recognizes her eyes…but from where? He has to ask her name to place her in his mind. Finding out about her mother, Caspian offers marriage of convenience and they both will come out on top.
The slow burning sexual tension between them was making the pages smolder. Could I marry for convenience? Knowing my mother would be taken care of in a way that I couldn’t, probably. Was Caspian’s uncle right? Can love grow from nothing? I loved this story and can’t wait for more.

Conveniently Yours is for the women who love an Alpha male romance! I’m not discounting the strength of our female main character, however alpha male novels have a following and this book right here should be at the top of their I WANT TO READ LIST! For me personally it’s a guilty pleasure!
It starts dominating oozing strength, but it sweetly comes full circle for Caspian, a man who’s early childhood was a nightmare. He did everything in his power to make sure never to return to that life again. Becoming one of the big serious titans of NYC. That is until his uncle kicks him down a few notches when he threatens to take it all away unless his nephew marries.
In slams Paisley right back into Caspian’s life, a man she hasn’t seen since he was her child & neighborhood hero. Paisley, down on her luck due to her mother being in a serious accident, doesn’t know how she’s going to survive.
You can use your imagination as to where it goes from there or YOU CAN DOWNLOAD AND READ IT!!!! lol If you enjoy these types of romances like I do you’ll love it. It’s the best dose of Sweet & Spicy!!

This was a great 5 star read. The author pulled me right in with her writing.
Something strange is going on and Brant needs to try and figure out what is going on. His mother said something to Brant that he is determined to figure out what she meant. To figure out the mystery he has to go to Oregon.

Aubrey is a bartender with some plans of her own, one of them wasn’t meeting Brant. There seems to be something brewing between them, will Aubrey change her plans? There is a twist and someone starts stalking Aubrey. Will Brant be able to help keep Aubrey safe and figure out his own mystery?

Overall this was a thrilling, mysterious read. I felt like I had several different stories in one. Brant was such a caring and hawt cowboy. Aubrey was great, she was very independent and loving. You could feel their connection coming off the pages, I really enjoyed their story. I look forward to reading more from this author. 1-click and get started today.

One word: Steamy! From the moment Ben walked into Thea’s bakery, there was an undeniable connection between the two. Neither of them were looking for love, but a few fun nights quickly sparked those feelings they had to explore. This is a very quick and smooth read. The storyline flows and as you turn the pages, before you know it, you’re at the end and wanting more. Who doesn’t love a lighthearted and fun Christmas romance?! If you blush easily, get ready for some major blushing because the spark between Ben and Thea lights a major fire of passion and the author does not hold back!

This book is not at all for everyone but if you are In for a very bumpy ride with a character you can’t do anything but root for this is it. From the very beginning I knew I’d like this book. I just have a thing about the main character going through heck and back and still seeing light at the end of the tunnel when all they should see is darkness. This author wrote some very difficult scenes but they were very well done. That may sound a little weird but I really liked the writing style and the fact that the impossible situation Liz deals with aren’t sugar coated. It’s a well written book and if I could give more than five stars I’d happily do it but I’ll settle for huge five stars. Highly recommended!

The Crown of Stones: Magic-Price AUDIO BOOK by C. L. Schneider – Review by Stephanie Colley

/0 Comments/in , /by

The story was phenomenal. It grabbed me in the prologue and didn’t let me go till the end.
It was a great take on magic. It can’t be used without a price, something living has to die. I haven’t heard of that take before that I remember. That part alone had my interest.

The story line was great also. Ian Troy is a Shinree soldier. He has the magic for battle, yet is kills everything and everyone around when doing it.
This type of power is hard to control.

Troy is running from his past. But now he has to go back to battle for his nation. But after vowing to never use his magic again, after a terrible loss, will he be able to help??

The narrator was on point with changing his voice and tone for each character. It made the story worth listening! I would love to listen to more books read by him.

Caspian and Paisley have a run in and reunite after almost 20 years apart. The catch is, they reunite to have a fake marriage that lasts a year and a day. This book is a good read. I couldn’t read the pages fast enough to find out what would happen next between the two.

I’m a total sucker for a marriage that benefits two main characters kind of book. So I knew going in I’d enjoy it, I absolutely loved it. Caspian and Paisley instantly had me feeling the connection they were about to have for the story. Caspian May just be my favorite male main character this year, he knows what he wants and goes right for it no matter what might stand in his way. Paisley is going through quite a lot and it’s easy to feel for her. Each one brought me so completely into their world that I easily got lost in the pages and hated when it was over. I’ll definitely be adding this one to my reading again list. Five big stars!

A Sweet Christmas : A Sweet Confections Novella by Nicole Richard

This is the first book I’ve read by the author. A Sweet Christmas is a great read. It’s a Sweet Confections Novella and I will be on the lookout for more by her.

Thea owns a bakery and sells everything but cupcakes. She does get asked on several occasions, but the answer is always the same. When Ben comes by looking for them he catches her attention. The quote I chose for Thea is: “He’s probably one of those rich and cocky playboys. The type that’ll say all the right things so they can get laid. Maybe he was fishing to see if I had a boyfriend or better yet, maybe he thought I would be easy.”

Ben is falling fast for Thea. He didn’t think things would work out for him, but things are going good so far. He enjoys spending time with her and can’t think of anything else, but being with her. The quote I chose for Ben is: “I’m thinking breakfast for dinner. They make the best pancakes in the entire Pacific Northwest.”

Highly recommended for Contemporary Romance lovers.

A very well-written novel that follows the women of the Ciofani family through time. These ‘wise women’ are intuitive, intelligent, romantic and strong – they are young independent women and the backbones of their families. I really enjoyed following the women that Russell drew for us, and the choices that determined their fates. The lush descriptions of Italy and Italian family tradition had me eating pasta and drinking wine three nights in a row… never a bad decision. The plot was very engaging and the way the authour was able to bring the past to life was gorgeous. Definitely recommend!

I seriously could not stop turning these pages! This story was far too short, and I could have kept reading for another 500 pages, I’m sure. That being said, even though this is a shorter read, it is not lacking in any area! This is the first book I’ve read by this author, and I am certainly not disappointed. In this paranormal romance, we have Acheron, a vulture shape-shifter, and Errapel, a hare shape-shifter. These two have been put together by fate, but they are not supposed to be. I was totally enthralled by this author’s writing and am so glad I jumped into this book. 5 stars!
