Spoilsport (Pierce Brothers, #2)Spoilsport by Belinda Williams
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Book 2 in the Pierce Brothers series, and we get to watch another brother fall hard. Belinda Williams knows her way around romantic comedy, and this book will definitely having you smiling, laughing, and cheering through to the end.

Nadia was unexpected. You truly feel for her and the emotional baggage she holds regarding her parents toxic marriage and messy divorce. She was very jaded about love and relationships with a determination to never let that sentimental 4 letter word break her. She was a hard character to love and connect with in a sense. However there were many times I adored her, wanted to yell at her, shake her, or just hug her with the way she had my emotions going lol. Eventually I warmed up to her character, and I was rooting for her. Luke was sweet, lovable, and a great father. He saw past Nadia’s cold exterior, and saw the beautiful and amazing woman she was.
When Nadia and Luke reconnect because her house is in dire need of a little TLC it becomes Luke’s chance to get his girl. Opposites truly attract as he pushes her outside her comfort zone and we are pulled into their many cheesy moments adorned with playful banter. Nadia is determined to keep her heart and distance from Luke even with the daily close encounters. The miscommunication and the tension runs high, but deep down they are both aware that the one night stand they had would never ben enough. Luke wants his next love story to be the works, and he wants it with Nadia. A dream home is not truly a house without a family, and this story really brings you home.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

It just keeps getting better. The second book in series in the Pierce Brothers series; was just as good as the first. While I was a fan of Tom from Mr. Nice Guy, I’m even a bigger fan of Lucas. I enjoyed the chemistry between him and Nadia, how they both had to work on being vulnerable with each other. Spoilsport is fun, witty, charming, easy to read, lighthearted and humorous. I enjoy reading every minute of reading this novel, and I’m anticipating Book 3.

Red's Peril Part 1: The Making of an MC Prez (Satan's Devils MC Vegas #1)Red’s Peril Part 1: The Making of an MC Prez by Manda Mellett
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is my first time reading any of Manda Mellett’s books, and I was not disappointed. Red’s Peril Part 1 was not what I was expecting, honestly. I haven’t really read any MC books in the past so wasn’t sure what to expect but Manda Mellett’s description of the brotherhood surrounding this particular MC was very well written. I could feel the trust and connection the characters had with one another. And I couldn’t help but fall a little bit in love with Red. His realistic growth throughout the book, his haunted past, his sometimes uncertain future, and his can’t-miss-him hair draws the reader in and doesn’t let go. I can’t wait to read more about Red and the rest of the Satan’s Devils MC!

The Elements of the Crown (The Elements of Kamdaria, #1)The Elements of the Crown by Kay L. Moody
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The Elements of the Crown is the first book in the Elements of Kamdaria by Kay L Moody and is a combination of four novellas: Ice Crown, Wind Crown, Dust Crown, and Flame Crown. It is a story about a girl named Talise who came from the farthest reaches of the Kamdaria where the criminals reside, the Storm. No one leaves the storm unless they can shape elements and become a Master Shaper. Ten years of training at an elite academy for a chance to compete before the Emperor for the title of Master Shaper. For a girl from nowhere she has more skills than anyone in her training until Aaden arrives at her academy to train for the last year with skills that rival her own. The story follows these two main characters who have both trained for this moment. Who will be the chosen by the Emperor? What fate does that really entail for them next?

The story was a page turner that kept me reading to find out what would happen next. Trying to figure out the motives and next moves for the different characters was a continuous cycle from start to end. It kept me hooked with all the plot twists. Her character and world building were great. I enjoyed this book and cannot wait to continue reading with the next book.

Snowflakes & Stockings (A Wilton Hills Christmas, #4)Snowflakes & Stockings by Marianne Rice
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Snowflakes & Stockings is another really cute book by Marianne Rice, in the Wilton Hills Christmas series. It can be read as a stand alone- it is the first book I read in this series and I loved it. I look forward to reading the others, as they are each about one of Liberty’s siblings. At first it had a Fifty Shades vibe to it- not the bondage, but the characters. Young innocent reporter interviewing gorgeous millionaire bachelor. The mystery surrounding he and his family… But, this book was clean and adorable. I loved the characters and their chemistry. Liberty has a really tightknit family and they are all loveable. I liked the added tidbit of how she and her siblings got their names, it really brought the family to life. I like that Sawyer was really sweet, and wish there was a little more detail about his childhood loss. I felt it was breezed over and he didn’t get as much background built as Liberty. I recommend this book as a quick cute romantic book to get you in the holiday spirit, and enjoy the happily ever after.

Practically Pagan – An Alternative Guide to Magical Living by Maria DeBlassie – Review by Shea Gilkerson

Practically Pagan - An Alternative Guide to Magical LivingPractically Pagan – An Alternative Guide to Magical Living by Maria DeBlassie
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I am notoriously guilty of finding something I’m interested in and then immediately overwhelming myself with so much information that I don’t know where to start. The practice of magic is something that has interested and entertained me for as much of my life as I can remember. Like most other things, any knowledge I gathered seemed overwhelming and I didn’t know where to start and not screw something up.

Maria DeBlassie does a phenomenal job of making the practice of magic be much more achievable in this book, and reading it has made me finally understand how I can do every day things with intent, and use my intentions as a way to bring a little magic into my life and the lives of those I love. There are no magical requirements listed in this book other than learning to accept and love parts of yourself you have been trained to let wither, and use them to strengthen your connection to your sense of self as well as understand your strengths and the kind of magic that is available to you when you do that. She does a wonderful job of sharing her own practices and what led her to them – as well as what parts of her life led her away from them before she started down the path she leads.

I’d label this book as self help more than a “witchy” book, but it is honestly the first book on paganism and a magic lifestyle that I have truly felt I connected to, and helps me provide a wonderful base to now start adding on to. The things I’ve read in the past were much more practice based, involving divinations, in depth knowledge already required, and this book made me feel seen – like someone knew where I needed to start. This book feels like Marie is talking directly to me, leading me to the beginning of the path to start daily practices for better self care, living with intent, and understanding what my goals are. I don’t think I was ever able to really visualize my witchy goals before this book, as it was more of a daydream of what I could do “when I had time”.

I loved this book and am very thankful I found it. I look forward to reading the other Practically Pagan books, as well as more by Marie DeBlassie.

A Spell of RowansA Spell of Rowans by Byrd Nash
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book did not turn out to be what I was expecting, but I think I like it more than what I expected. Byrd Nash weaves a wonderful tale that has a dash of magic, as opposed to a magical fantasy land with mystical creatures. It is a much more contemporary read with talk of traumatic life events, murder, mystery, and a touch of romance.

Rachel Rowan used her magical talents to traumatize her neighbors, and used her kids as pawns to use their talents in her favor. When their mother dies, Phillipa, Victoria and Liam are left to fit together the pieces of the messes she made and the fallout her choices lead to.

It’s a little hard to put a genre that fits the whole of the book, but I was hooked and happily surprised my interpretation of what the book WOULD be turned out to be incorrect. I look forward to reading more from this author.

This book exceeded my expectations. The author did an exceptional job building a world full of magic, friends, family, danger and more. I was drawn in from the start and with all the twists and turns I was kept entertained throughout the entire story. I could not put this book down until I reached the end and then I wanted more. There were times when I was rooting for Talise and other times I wanted to shake her ugh! I became invested in this story and the characters. I cannot wait to read the next book in the series. I highly recommend this book, you will not be disappointed.

Snowflakes & Stockings (A Wilton Hills Christmas, #4)Snowflakes & Stockings by Marianne Rice
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I had no clue when I downloaded this book that there were three other books before Snowflakes and Stockings. But no the less I picked right up on the storyline. I felt like I was in the middle of a Hallmark movie scene the whole way through the book. Rice did a great job setting the tone while keeping the reader hooked.
Liberty is a driven, independent spitfire who comes from a big close family. While Sawyer is equally driven and independent, he is the co-owner of Maine’s big tech firm. While Liberty is trying to investigate the identity of Maine’s Secret Santa, which she hopes will help her to land a promotion at her job, she comes across Sawyer. Personally, the way Rice developed Sawyer’s character I found very relatable. He comes from a workaholic family background, who don’t spend too much time outside the office together. When Liberty invites Sawyer to Thanksgiving dinner, she has no idea that he would fit in so perfectly.
I truly fell in love with this book so much that I downloaded the three-book the preceded Snowflakes and Stockings. This series is a must-read series, especially with the holidays approaching.

This is book 2 of the series and it was really good. You meet Leann Bobbin in book 1 as she is Betsy’s sister. While attending Betsy and Nash’s engagement party, Leann meets Len, who work for the local police department. When Len calls Leann on their daily check in, Leann, who is working at her first full time job at a bank, lets Len know of a robbery that is taking place. As the robbery ends, I love how it brings Leann and Len closer. The story flowed so quickly in this book and I just wished it was a bit longer :).

To say the author has a way with words is an understatement honestly because she is AMAZING. The plot was brilliant and I really couldn’t turn the pages fast enough. I was greedy for what was yet to come. As the first book in this series I can truly say I cannot wait to read the others! Just so amazing.

I didn’t enjoy this book as much as I thought I would. I think I grabbed this book having high expectations with it, I read a lot of fantasy, magic, supernatural so I think maybe I was thinking it would be different then what it really was. Don’t get me wrong the book itself was very good, the plot line is just as good and really fits the characters the conflicts made me really think and wonder what was going to happen. I was intrigued by the characters in this novel. With a wonderful mix of personalities, how amazing of friends and family that they all seem to be. The characters in the book you can’t not enjoy, trying to fix issues that came up, problem solving, and how they all got along as good friends and family. The flow and the way you can easily read this book, it was a very short read for me. I really thought there was going to be more magic and supernatural not a book about black mail and murder. It was an enjoyable book on a low-key kind of way.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Cheyenne and Lane were fated mates and found each other unexpectedly. Both were stricken with less than desirable pasts, but driven by the strength to overcome. Unable to ignore the pull of the bond they come together to find the love they have been missing with plenty of drama, action, and romance along the way. The story truly displays the beauty of fated mates and the support of a strong pack.
This book captured my attention from the start! The first book in the Long Claw Pride series, and it makes you excited knowing that there is more. The story itself and the characters were well developed and original. You cannot help but fall in love and get excited when you find a good paranormal series, and this is definitely one.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Naomi Valkyrie has done and stole my heart once again with Fate, Frankincense & Funerals! This little gem might be a short read but man does it pack a punch! The world that Ms. Valkyrie has really become fully developed and just pops off the screen of your kindle as you read and that is hard to do with novellas, but also a really strong point of Valkyrie’s writing skills. She knows how to create these worlds so beautifully with vivid words that make you feel as if you can taste the air and smell it at the same time as you feel the ground you are walking on while you stand beside your character you are reading. I particularly loved the journey and the world we got to experience in Fate, Frankincense & Funerals. It was slightly dystopian and built on ancient laws that are heavily outdated. The shifter races are highly believable and I really loved the way they were described. I liked the way the romance was really prevalent in this one, something Naomi Valkyrie hasn’t played with quite as much in the past novels I have read of hers. I look forward to seeing what we will get next from her!

Victoria Zak knocks it out of the park with Rock Me To The Top! I absolutely love Joe and Melody’s love story! Melody falls in love with a famous drummer from the rock band called Gracefalls not only is Joe the all star drummer but her childhood best friend. This story gave me Nicolas Sparks love story feels but had enough smutty romance to it. It was hard to put it down as you go through the twist and turns with Melody living on the tour bus as GraceFalls manager and falling in love with her childhood best friend Joe. I loved that both had rough past and both come out on top of the world at the end. I found myself crying in some parts because of how much Joe loved her. I really hope there is a second book to see what happens next.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

A Spell of Rowans was a very interesting read. It is about a woman named Victoria, Vic for short, whose mother died resulting in Vic going to her hometown to deal with it. As it turns out, it appears as if her mother, Rachel, has been murdered. At the time, Liam, the youngest sibling, gets arrested as a suspect in another murder of a woman named Patty who worked closely with the Rowan’s mother.

The book follows the family trying to get closure and move on from their abusive past while also trying to figure out who the murderer is. Things aren’t adding up. The Rowan’s all have special abilities that their mother hoarded over them when they were children. As a result, the siblings want to get all of this done and over with as fast as possible but that’s hard to do when you may be the next victim in mind.

A Spell of Rowans did not disappoint. You could tell that the author was writing from experience. The way Byrd Nash taps into the emotions of a broken adult due to childhood trauma is spot on. Not only that but the book was also filled with action, magic, mystery with a splash or romance. I would highly recommend this book!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is such a steamy sweet story of submission and healing. Elgin and Mary Beth have such a unique dynamic from the very first moment they meet. Although they both try to keep their distance as their domme/sub relationship develops, it doesn’t take long for both of them to start to develop feelings. I really enjoyed that this was written with a female domme instead of the typical male domme found in many books. This is also a very unique romance in that the sub was an alpha sub and not what typically comes to mind when you think of a sub male.
This book really delves into just how healing and fulfilling a domme/sub relationship can be for those who are drawn to this particular lifestyle. The surprise ending is so fitting and made me laugh and smile simultaneously, because it absolutely stayed true to their special brand of romance.

I don’t know how she does it but Ms. Mellett has written another amazing book and I’m so glad they keep coming.

Red’s Peril was a great walk down memory lane along with bits and pieces we may not have known and in my case some things that were forgotten.

Red has been in the background in the previous books and I am so glad we get to know him and the guys in Vegas.  I really love how she has connected his time line to the others and helped us fill in some blanks we weren’t even aware of.

There is so much I could say but it all is regarding particulars of Red, his past and his present so I’m going to hold off for now.

Part 2 comes out in three long weeks, have the release date circled on my calendar and will be dropping everything to get this read.

If you are looking for a great book and series you won’t go wrong with Red or any of Satan’s Devils.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

It was a lot better than I expected going in! The Elements of the Crown by Kay L. Moody, is a book I typically stay away from. The supernatural element is what drew me to it though.
The world the author creates is intriguing, but has some beautiful aspects to it. The Characters, what can I say, there’s a lot of them. That isn’t always a bad thing however at the same time I intend to be vague not to give anything away.
Talise at the age of seven was brought from the outer barrier of Kamdaria, known as Storm, to prove she can manipulate the elements. Marmie does everything to make sure Talise gets her chance to make the academy, even giving up her meals so Talise has the strength to cultivate the task at hand.
Then there’s Aaden, a mysterious student who shows up at the elite academy, who is just as good if not better than Talise in cultivating and manipulating the elements. Which puts Talise on edge, because if she can’t successfully become a Master Shaper she has no choice but to return and live the rest of her life in Storm.
This book is definitely a fantasy adventure that includes love, friendship, enemies, and fighting.
If you love a great fantasy, this book is for you!
If you like surprise twists and turns, this book is for you!
If you like the emotions a book may make you feel while reading it, this book is for you!
Believe when I say it has a little bit for everyone, so DEFINITELY check it out! You won’t regret it!!!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I never dreamed this would be my life in charge of a biker gang but they look after me when I need it and become the Prez, but will I ever find the right person to spend my life with since I screwed up the only relationship that ever meant anything to me.

Red has been on a long road, first giving up on his dream as a young boy to become a mechanic to then want to spread his wings and fly to Las Vegas, but when he happened upon some bikers who brought him into the fold and years later he is in charge of the chapter all he wants is an “old Lady” to have a family with but long ago he had that person but it flitted through his hands and will he ever be able to find someone to match her.

Cheryl is floating through life but she is trying to get the handsome biker out of her head, but when she ends up in as Vegas and sees him again the attraction is instant again but will this time be the right time or will life get in the way.

I loved this story, the attraction and chemistry between the main two characters was off the page. Red has pop up in the other books in the various series and you have always just had enough information to peak your interest and then its ripped from you in wanting more and we have more. This is a great introduction to this series and as always with Manda she draws you into the story from the first word to the last and then have you wanting more.

The story is well written and the characters are believable and relatable as the character of Red is flawed but has a good heart and wants to do the right thing, Cheryl is a perfect match for him as she is not a size zero, petite blonde but describe as a curvy full woman which makes the characters more believable and you can relate to them and are rooting for them.

I can’t wait for part two and see where the story goes.

Man Oh Man! I was hesitant to read this as I don’t care for duets. I am sure glad I did anyway!(I mean its by Manda Mellett so of course I picked it up) This is really the making of a SD Prez and the intro to the LV SD. We take this trip right along with Red. It gives some insight Into what a prospect and on up goes through. The friends he makes and loses along the way. The questions he has , the biker life he doesn’t want and the girl he cant forget all add up to the story I could not out down!

The author did a great job with this one. I can see why the break was needed. Originally I thought she could just sum it up with a couple chapters and a flashback here and there but I really think she did so much better doing it this way. I was really able to immerse myself into Red’s life and almost felt like I was a little devil sitting on his shoulder..keeping an eye on him.

Overall I absolutely LOVE this story and Red. It really was a journey that I took along with Red. I look forward to the next!

Ps. I keep notes while reading a book. This one had me scrambling and rearranging and its about a mile long 🙂 Kept me on my toes!

Spoilsport (Pierce Brothers, #2)Spoilsport by Belinda Williams
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This book was on par with the last, and I have to admit that I was looking forward to learning more about the story between Nadia and Luke since the last installment. I loved that we still heard from Chelsea and Tom and discovered that their romance was the real deal. Everything seems to be falling together, and, at this rate, all of the brothers will find their true love by the end of this series. It’s bittersweet to think about. Going back to the story: Nadia is well known for her cold heart and inability to feel love or want a relationship. She and Luke have a rocky past – to say the least – and this book filled me with many different emotions over the course of the read. I loved that we learned more about what happened between Luke and his ex-wife, that we were given more insight into what was happening with him and his daughter, and that we gained many glimpses into Nadia’s past. Everything was so well-written and gave us all of the information that we wanted (and that they needed) to overcome their shortcomings and find a way to make it work. Luke’s hardworking, serious demeanor and Nadia’s fun-loving, stubborn exterior are a perfect blend. I am so excited to see what is coming up next for Seth!

The Mating Call by Brooke May – Review by Erica Shoebridge

The Mating CallThe Mating Call by Brooke May
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I really liked the characters of the Long Claw pride, especially Cheyenne, and her sisters and brother. All are deeply affected by the despicable actions of Casper, their father, who was by turns absent and abusive. While all the children grow up knowing that the mating call is part of life as a lion shifter, and that they will likely meet their mate one day, they are scarred from witnessing the action of their mother’s mate. Despite this, the women are all strong, independent females with unique personalities and interests. Cheyenne is an interesting heroine, one who has quite an emotional and psychological journey in this novel. I felt her deep connection to the land and her kin, and her closeness to family resonated with me. None of the characters are simple or archetypical; they are layered and unique, interesting and flawed. I appreciated this in particular about the book.

Fate, Frankincense & Funerals by Naomi Valkyrie

5- Stars

“We will turn what society believes about us to ash. We are going to set the world on fire Archeron. We’re going to burn it all.”

In a world where vultures and jackals aren’t meant to be together, Archeron and Errapel defy all odds to be together. This is a wonderful short story that captivates you the entire time, and has you begging for more. It took me about an hour to read, and is well worth it! Crossing my fingers that Naomi Valkyrie writes more stories about these characters!
