The Reader is the first book in the Immortal Series by M.K. Harkins. This is not the first book I have read by this author, but it is my new favorite of hers. This Young Adult book had me hooked from the very first page. I read it in one sitting. The witty banter and the intrigue was funny and creative. The characters are likable and the plotline although paranormal is highly believable. I love that this book had me guessing almost till the end, and the twists and turns had me shaking my head thinking what could happen next. This is a great start to a new series, and I can’t wait to see what M.K. has instore for us in the next book in this series.

Summer Fling is a great new adult romance by Tarrah Anders. This is the third or fourth book I have read by Ms. Anders, but it is my new favorite by this author. This book had me hooked from the very first page and I couldn’t put it down until I read the last page. This book is full of sweet romance, sexy hot characters and an intriguing mystery. Emma and Royce have so much chemistry it just rolls off the page. Emma has been burned before when she started a fling with a tourist, they all flood into Time their town for summer vacation. So she is weary of Royce when he moves into town. Thinking he will be leaving with the tourists at the end of the summer, however Royce is here to stay. He just needs to convince Emma of that fact. This summer book was just perfect to read on this fall afternoon. I highly recommend this book. Thanks to Tarrah Anders for such a great reed.

Another wonderful emotional rollercoaster from Michelle Sullivan! It has it all: true love, loss, drama. As has been my experience with her books before, Sullivan grabbed my attention on the first page. The characters were well developed. They had depth and were flawed and I connected with them emotionally. I was vested in the plot development from first page to last. I highly recommend this page turner – cheers to true love!
So I’ve gone and done it this time, I read this book before Our Next Chapter and although it was ok and I never felt lost I know that after what I read in this story that I had to go back and read the first and Im doing that right this second but wanted to get this review written before the stories got blurred and I mix up my thoughts.
I can not even put in words how much I love this author, this is not my first book by her and will absolutely not be the last, I went into this story without even reading the synopsis, that’s what happens when you read a book by an author on your favorites list, doesn’t matter what the book is about, her name is on it…I read it. This is why I read out of order. I highly recommend this story, the characters were awesome and the dialogue between them was perfect. Noah and Quinn had a relationship that started quite quickly and progressed quite fast but with everything in this story and how it was all written it all totally worked. There is so much more to this story than just a romance between two people. The “parents” were so amazing and I found myself laughing out loud at some of the comments a father had to hear his daughter say, and how he reacted was spot on!
This was such a beautiful story that brought me to tears more than once and even more than twice. The storyline was unique and the talent this author has had me finishing it in one sitting, it all flowed so smoothly and perfectly. Do yourself a favor, read these books..I highly recommend reading Our Next Chapter first..You do not have to but I promise you will wish you had because this whole story is just amazingly beautiful!! One of those books that truly deserves more than just five stars!
Michelle Sullivan’s Our Unexpected Hope is a contemporary romance that centers on Quinn and Noah, their lives, including the highs and lows. This book read well and it was seamless in its transition from chapter to chapter, introduction of new characters and how they interested to other characters. I immediately liked Quinn’s character. Her thoughts, feelings and choices felt realistic, to include how she reacted to events that occur within her life. The dynamic between Quinn and her family was amazing, well done and brilliant. Moving on to Noah, his character was magnetic, something drawing you straight to him, so you can imagine the appeal that he puts off without trying. This story was an emotional read and Michelle Sullivan showcases her talent in the way she had the characters’ handle the events, choices and aftermath from the decisions made. This is a story I took pleasure in reading, one that touched me emotionally, and that I highly recommend.
This story is based in the small town of Sweeny. Emma and her friends own and run a clothing store. They grew up in Sweeny. They live there. The summer time brings tourists to not only their store but the town as well. But only until summer is over. Relationships don’t start in the summer, flings do, because everyone knows tourists leave. Emma has been burned once before by a summer relationship that ended up being a fling.
Royce comes to town with his friends to set up a veterinarian office. They come to town at the beginning of summer like the rest of the tourists do but they plan on staying.
Now Royce and Emma have to decide if a relationship is something they can do. And then as if the summer time isn’t enough of pressure for these two, Anders throws in a couple of crazy little twists.
This is my first book by Anders and I am happy I took a chance on a new to me author! Cute story, good characters, different story-line. This book was easy to read, easy to understand and follow. I can recommend this story and look forward to reading more from Anders.

Marks of the Mazza: Reverse Harem (Mazza Series Book 1) by Blake Blessing
5 Stars
Ok so this is my first book by this author as well as my first reverse harem. I’ll admit I was a bit worried before I started but the synopsis had me interested enough to give it a shot. I was pleasantly surprised that it was nothing like I thought it was going to be. Now it might have something to do with this author and her style of writing. I enjoyed every page and I especially loved the strength and sassiness our lead character showed, and I fell in love with every one of “her” guys, one of them took me a bit, I had a feeling there was a story to tell there and I was right and he grew on me quickly.
I can not wait for the next in this series, it didn’t end on a holy crap throw your kindle and call the author names kind of cliffhanger, but it did end leaving me with a lot of questions and wanting a lot more.
If you have never read a book in this genre I highly recommend giving this one a try. I loved it and the smooth writing style made it a very easy read.

I loved this book! I never hesitate to read one of this author’s books. Each one has a thought out meaning that is heartbreaking and loving at the same time. This is one of my favorites, I couldn’t put it down until the end. A story about love at first sight and the life struggles that come with it. I love the characters Noah and Quinn. I loved their instant attraction and their strong bond. I highly recommend you read their story, you won’t regret it!
Georgia Pine by KG Fletcher is the third book in the Southern Promises Series. Each book in the series just gets better and better. Jessica and Tim have some flammable chemistry that is very hot. Tim is not revealing his past to Jessica because it could cause problems. Is Jessica willing to wait till Tim is ready to share his past history?
The writing in Georgia Pine is engaging, flows and is very descriptive. It keeps you reading from the first page through the last. Georgia Pine takes you on a bumpy emotional roller coaster ride. The characters are well developed, very real and easy to connect with. I cannot wait to see what happens next in the series. I highly recommend Georgia Pine!

The Reader (The Immortal Series book 1) by M.K. Harkins 4 stars
I’ve never read a book by this author and was pleasantly surprised by this read! I loved the twists and turns and I was able to be sicked right in. The story,even without the romantic interests , was great. After waking and not remembering what happened, Ann is on the beach injured and finds a community of readers. They believe she’s one of The Lost Ones, and it causes split thoughts in the community. Jealousy causes actions that turn to chaos. I really didnt want this to end, cant wait to read more from this author.

Harkins – Review by Lyndsey Fairley
Every time I pick up a book by this author I know that I am going to be in for a read that I cannot put down and I was proved right yet again. Michelle Sullivan has a way of writing that captures your attention from the very beginning, she brings her characters to life in a way that they feel real almost if you are there living their journey with them. My heart literally broke for Noah, to grow up the way he did must have been awful – no child should grow up without knowing what it is like to be loved unconditionally and it makes me so sad that this happens. Quinn’s upbringing was the complete opposite to Noah but when they met they just fit, they were perfect for each other. I know to expect a few emotional moments from this author and this book certainly had a few of them in fact I feel emotional just thinking back on what I have read. I truly loved this story; from beginning to end I was in love with everything about it. I wish I could give it more than 5 stars and it absolutely is one of my favourite reads from 2018! I highly recommend you one click this book today – you won’t regret it!
Transformations by Cari Schaeffer is book one in The Shifter Series. This was actually a book I really enjoyed. It was unlike other shifter books. The premise is actually pretty original. I really enjoyed the writing and characters. This one ended in a cliffhanger and I really want to find out what happens next! I just love that each character has such a unique personality that just adds to the story. 4 star rating.

Our Unexpected Hope By: Michelle Sullivan 5 out of 5 stars
The story Our Unexpected Hope by Michelle Sullivan is a contemporary romance book. It is a story that I loved reading and I didn’t want to put down until I had finished the last page. It draws you in from the very beginning and I was hooked. It is a story that takes you on an emotional journey and I found myself believing in true love and soulmates. It is a book that is both heartbreaking and heartwarming. It had my emotions going up and down as I felt my way through. I loved reading about Quinn and Noah. Quinn is a woman who is a romantic. She is beautiful, kind, and loving. She is sure that when the right man comes along that she will be able to tell he is the one. She has found herself very attracted to Noah. Noah is the head chef for a restaurant. Something he is proud of. Noah has never really felt the love of a family to call his own. He, however, knows that Quinn is someone special and wants to get to know her. This story/journey is a beautiful one. Life sometimes hands you the unexpected. I grew to love both Quinn and Noah with each chapter that I read. They are both amazing characters that you can root for and want them to be happy. This is a book that had me with a smile on my face and also tears in my eyes. It is one of those stories that stays with you and I found myself thinking about long after I had finished. It is a book that you will not want to miss out on and one I highly recommend reading.

Our Unexpected Hope by Michelle Sullivan is a story that will take your emotions on a rollercoaster ride. Quinn believes in true love. How couldn’t she when her parents show her each and every day what it is. And she knows that she wants it for herself. She knows that she will feel it when she meets the one. Noah, on the other hand, hasn’t ever really experienced the love of a family. He doesn’t have the strong belief in true love. However he does know that he wants to get to know Quinn more. With their different views their journey will be anything but easy. Will they be able to find their way in the end? With this book you certainly feel all the emotions – from sadness to happiness and everything in between. Noah and Quinn are two characters that have you fully believing in them and their story. It had you following their journey so close. I liked that the author managed to find a way for them both to capture my heart in completely different ways to each other. This was well written and a great story to read.
This book put me through an emotional ringer!! The love between Noah and Quinn is so amazing and supportive and hot!! There is so much I want to say but I don’t want to give anything away. My heart broke for the struggles and loss they had to endure. Where a lot of couples would have split up because of what they went through especially at such a young age, it made them stronger. Noah grew up in foster care and never had a family so when he found Quinn he new that he wanted to build a family with her. Quinn has a wonderful family and she’s hoping to find the kind of love that her parents have. Quinn’s parents are very much in love, and she has a very close relationship with them and her little brother. I became completely emotionally invested while I was reading this wonderful, heartbreaking, full of hope story. I can’t say enough good things about this story it was so well written, I cried tears of sadness and tears of happiness. I felt as though I was right there with them. I highly recommend this book, it is truly a gem.
The Reader (The Immortal Series Book 1) By MK Harkins. While I wasn’t immediately drawn in, I did eventually get hooked on this story of a young girl in a world she doesn’t know. Now I did take an instant liking to the main character Ann, I simply loved her character. In fact I liked every character for a different reason, each of them brings something unique and different to the story making for a really great reading experience. This book is more than just a paranormal type story there’s a healthy dose of suspense that keeps you on both the edge of your seat and the tips of your toes. The characters are complex, flawed and believable. The author brings the story to life simply with the way it’s written. It’s well thought out and paced nicely. I’m excited to read more. Giving this story a five star review and highly recommend it.

Harkins – review by Katie Kearney
You know how I’m constantly saying that I love reading thrillers? Well, Repressed by Meghan O’Flynn doesn’t even begin to cover my whole adoration for this particular genre. To say that I literally sat on the edge of my seat while reading this book doesn’t even explain all that I felt while reading.
Like I said, I sat on the edge of my seat (figuratively biting my finger nails – I don’t do that, just in my head) and felt like I had to scream at everything and everyone that interrupted my reading.
This whole world building gets better and better with each book, and the fact that the author is able to maintain that suspense throughout the entirety of the book is what astounds me. I kept trying to figure out what was going to happen, but I’ve come to realize with O’Flynn that it’s just not possible. As a reader, you kind of just have to go with the book and the flow of it, and see where everything settles. You will not be disappointed – not one bit. I seriously can’t wait to see where else she takes us! This was definitely another 5 Star Book for me!
~sigh~ This was a quick and easy romance that is full of good friends, small town charm, romance and a bit of angst.
One of the many things I enjoyed about this story is that neither protagonist is an over the top alpha. They are both strong and independent and able to deal with life on an individual basis. This story seems to be the start or a series because we are introduced to many different characters. Each is well developed with individual traits that make up part of a hole.
There are a few dangling questions for me that I’m sure will be answered in future stories in the series.
I really like reading books by this author and I don’t recall ever being disappointed in anything she has written.

5 Star The Reader ( The Immortal Series Book 1) By M.K.Harkins is the first book in the Immortal Series and I can’t wait to read the next book in this series as well. I’ve read other books by this author and this one climbs to the top.I had the hardest time putting it down once I started reading. The authors style of writing grabs your attention from the beginning and keeps it till the end. There are some twists and turns that had me on the edge of my seat trying to figure out what happens next and then we are taken the other way. This story is about Ann, who is a eighteen years old and she’s being hunted, shot and has some memory loss. When she finds herself on a deserted island And is approached by two men.Does she get her memory back?will she regain her past and who she really is?who are these two men? I highly recommend reading this Book especially if you want to know what happens

Harkins – Review by Dawn Daughenbaugh
Quinn is a hopeless romantic. Seeing the love that her parents have for one another, she hoped that she could someday find a love like that for herself. What she found with Noah was even better than she ever dreamed possible.
Noah grew up without love or the feeling of being wanted. Shuffled from home to home in youth, adulthood gave him the freedom to make something of himself. He had all he could ever want until Quinn walked into his life and changed everything.
Together, they were something wonderful. However, not all love stories are without the ultimate heartbreak.
Join Quinn and Noah on their journey of love, loss and the most unexpected gift they never saw coming.

About Michelle Sullivan
Writing freakin’ rocks!! I never in a million years thought that I could write a book, but I did. Once I started writing, I never in a million years thought that I would let anyone else read it, but I did. Now, less than 2 years after I released my first novel, I am getting ready to release my 4th… and not only do I absolutely love the writing process, but I am damn proud of what I have accomplished 🙂
My first novel, A Leap into Destiny, was released in June of 2016 and since then I have also released Room 208, Sunset After the Storm and my newest (coming February 27, 2018) is called Our Next Chapter.
A little about me outside of the writing world…
I am a wife to an amazing man who has been my number one supporter since the day I told him my writing plans. I am also a mom to 2 grown boys who refuse to read any of my books (apparently reading romance written by their mom is traumatizing) but have still been incredibly supportive of me.
I love to read! When I start a book, I refuse to stop reading until I am done with it. I can’t go to sleep at night without finishing whatever book I have started. That has made for some incredibly late nights but it is totally worth it.
I am a huge dog lover. I have 3 dogs (Bella, Meeka and Piglet) and also work for Dog Cruces Magazine in Southern New Mexico. I have some of the most amazing co-workers on the planet and can honestly say I love my job.
That is me in a nutshell. Enjoy and Happy Reading!!!!

The Readers is the first part of a duet by M.K. Harkins. It is not the first encounter with this writer and when this book popped up on my radar then I knew that I have to pick up a copy as I absolutely loved the other books I had read by her! I was though not ready for it! I would call it paranormal love triangle … what else would you call when you have highly evolved humans who can read minds (Readers), humans who can hijack other bodies (Hijacks), and Seers who have been wiped out though … so we have that crazy world where the Seers have predicted a very special Reader will be born one day who will unite everyone … this is the stage where we meet Ann and Devon and Archer. When Ann wakes up in shallow water she has no recollection who she is … can you imagine being only eighteen, shot and without your memory? Who can you trust, where will you go? Can she trust those two young men – Archer and Devon – who approach her? The writer takes us down a rabbit hole filled with lies and murder and betrayal … well, she actually takes us to a mountain top but you get me … it is an intense story that is fast paced and doesn’t leave many cold … cannot wait to see what the sequel brings us!

Transformations, by Cari Schaeffer, is the first volume in the Shifter series. This is a paranormal/fantasy that is engrossing and easily addictive within the elements combined within it’s pages. Growth is a steady part of this novel both in character development and as the story gains steam and builds upon itself. The author does a commendable job in her creativity, depth, originality and talent that is evident with the suspense, drama, intrigue that flows from the pages. Being the first book in the series, Cari Schaeffer set the bar on how the series will flow and it’s one that will have the reader impatiently waiting to read the next book as it pulls you within the dynamic of the story being shared.

Small Town Hero, by Kim Koby, is the first book in the Small Town Brides series. This wholesome romance is set in a small town in Tennessee featuring one damsel in distress, in life and in love. Rebecca has set values in her life that set her apart from others, ones she holds true to despite how others look at her or how they think about her decisions. With her life in a tailspin she finds something she didn’t plan on nor anticipate but could it be what she truly needs? Add in one handsome and caring southern male and this story has all the makings for a possible fairy tale. This was an extremely sweet and inspirational romance that was touching, warm, and true to the main characters beliefs.

Transformations is in the paranormal/fantasy genre. This story is off the charts and Cari Schaeffer does an amazing job with her characters and scenery. She wants to have you immerse yourself in the story. I felt like I could have taken the place of Kat. It is a fast read but one must not overlook the subtle interactions of the characters. Kat is one of the main characters in the story. She lost her family to the Barortkoff family at a young age. Kat is growing up and is becoming a Shifter. She is unsure what she is supposed to be since her family was gone. She is hoping she would be normal because she does not want people coming after her. Christopher is emerging into Kat’s life. The bad news about that happening is that he is a part of the family that murdered her parents. Should Kat be trusting and see how things go between Christopher and herself or should she run away? I cannot wait to see what happens in the next book.

Transformations (The Shifter Series, #1) by Cari Schaeffer was a uniquely original read that was pretty okay, and took a different take on the shifter world.
My first read by this author, I went in with a open mind as the synopsis was intriguing and the reviews raving. The opening was hooking and a little darker than I thought it would be. It set the stage for what was to come, and it really drove home how a family feud, that started generations ago, can affect family(s) that had nothing to do with the original fight. I like it, cause there are feuds like this today, hate for no reason other then, “it’s part of the family history”, is to me, silly, and closed minded.
Now to start, I did have some issues with this book. Told in multi POV, we get different sides to the story, and we get some scenes that don’t add anything to the plot and felt like filler. There were also some long winded scenes, and some that seemed too short. So that lead to pacing issues and, it created a choppiness feeling between transitions. It took me a bit to like out MC, she was something at the start, and I don’t want to say bratty, but that’s how she came across. I get it, she’s going through her transformation to shifter, but some of the stuff she was spuing was just disrespectful nonsense. (BTW being normal is overrated.. just saying) I have this things agents closed minded characters that are very me, me, me. I saw that right away, and it made me dislike her. Now as the story goes on, she does get better and towards the end I did kind of like her, okay I like her a lot. But, she’s something, I just got to warn you on that.
This is also a bit of a star crossed lover type deal, it wasn’t bad, but again, it is a overuse trope, but I feel, for me, it was handled pretty good in this book.
Other than those small things, the actual plot, and over all story telling was great. It was unique, original and like I said, darker then I thought it would be. There’s a bit of a mystery, and of course there is the whole, is Christopher really not like the rest of his family? Or is he leading the Wolff’s into a false sense of security, to strike.? It was a nice added touch, making the plot a little suspenseful and thrilling. Not going to tell you Christopher’s deal, you’re just going to have to find out on your own if he’s the linchpin, or the demon.
With the being said, this book did hook me enough to continue on with the series. I need to know what happens next! So please take my recommendation, and my stamp of approval that you will get capture by this rare take on shifters and, how they came to be.

Transformations: The Shifter Series by Cari Schaeffer 5 stars
This was my first book by this author and what a story! I was skeptical at first but once the first chapter gets going it was tough to put down. Kat is seventeen and on the cusp of having her first Transformation. Her family is different and in a feud with another for as long as they can remember. We see Kat and her amazing abilities, which were downright awesome! I’ve never read a shifter book that had other things than animals so this was a surprise! I loved the family, but was left with questions. Like what’s Granny doing in her sewing room? And that cliffhanger ugh I need more!

Summer Fling is a standalone contemporary romance novel that will leave you longing for a summer romance. Set in the most beautiful of small towns, this story follows Emma and Royce as they both take the plunge and venture into a new chapter of their life. This is one of those books that immediately hooks you and I can safely say I will be recommending this one to friends. If you need a summer read to help escape the cold winter days that are soon to come, Summer Fling is for you!
Emma has one rule when it comes to dating; no tourists. After her heart was broken by an out-of-towner years before, she’s sworn off men who are only visiting for the summer. So when she meets Royce, she accepts that their one night stand will be just that, nothing more than one night of amazing passion. When Royce reveals his plans to stay in town, Emma struggles to accept this despite the bold gestures he makes to show her that he’s series. I loved seeing their relationship evolve over time and see Emma start to trust people again. Her and Royce have such a natural and instant chemistry, it’s infectious to read. Surprisingly, I found myself super attracted to Royce after finding out he was a veterinarian, which is something I didn’t know about myself! Together they are such a fun couple and make for such an enjoyable, easy read.
One of my favourite parts of Summer Fling were the cute messages Royce started sending to Emma. I am a real suck for any kind of romantic gesture, regardless of how unique, bold or crazy they are. I loved this, and found myself anticipating the next note, but things really got interest when the past comes back to haunt Emma. This really shakes things up and I found myself super worried for the couple. The author did a fantastic job of building the tension and drama, keeping my glued to the sofa while I waited to see how things would turn out.
This book perfectly hit my end-of-summer-blues spot. Summer Fling is fun, romantic and passionate, making it the perfect easy-read for those of you who are desperate for your romance fix. I loved both the characters and the plot equally and I must admit, I’m hoping for future stories involving Willie, Effie, Cyrus and Jackson! This was my first read of this author and I am super excited to explore more of their work.

Before I go on any further, can I just say how beautiful I think this book’s cover is? It is completely eye catching and the colors are gorgeous together! Since we aren’t supposed to judge books by their cover, I’ll move on… As summer has come to a close here it was nice to have a light, summer read to shut it down. Summer Fling was the perfect combination of super sexy scenes and intriguing storyline with characters that felt so relatable they could be your friends too. I enjoyed the his and her perspective that this story was told from, really giving us a true taste of their personalities. I loved Emma straight from the beginning, witty and honest. The supporting characters throughout the story were just as enjoyable as the main ones, making it an even easier read. I almost wish this book was a little bit longer it was a fast paced, quick read that had a little of everything in it romance, steamy sex scenes, drama and suspense which was really satisfying. There was a time while reading when the drama and suspense really started to pick up and the book started to near the conclusion I felt like we were going in a different direction and there would be some loose ends. I will admit after making it to the end and reading the epilogue I was much more satisfied. Overall I really enjoyed this book, it was nice to hold on to summer a little bit longer here in New England.

Wow, this book had me turning pages so fast because I couldn’t absorb the story fast enough. There was no way I could take a break to be an adult while reading it.
This is the first book in “The Immortal Series” and I’m so glad I have book 2 downloaded already.
This story had a familiarity about it but was different enough that it heads in a direction I was not expecting. I read this blind so wasn’t sure exactly what the story would be about.
The character development is spot on. The descriptions of locations was detailed enough to be visual but not so detailed that it dragged the story down. The story has a very obvious beginning,middle, and end and has a well thought out plot. I thoroughly enjoyed this book.
This is a fantastic book for young and old readers alike.

Harkins – Review by Maura Harper
Blind Magic by India Kells is a phenomenally dynamic paranormal read! This is the second book in The Sanctuary Chronicles and my first book by this author, but it certainly won’t be my last. Though I found it easy enough to follow along I would recommend reading this series in order as the character introductions would have already been made. However, even having said that this storyline and book tops my list of favourite paranormal reads!
This book is detailed, intriguing, intense and so action-packed. There was always something going on which made it highly entertaining. I found that the storyline flowed flawlessly with easy to love characters. Each and every character added so much to the story and I’m really looking forward to reading book 1 and the remainder of the series as soon as possible.
I would absolutely recommend this book to anyone looking for their next paranormal read!
