Phoenix Rising: A Fortis Security Novel Book 7 (Fortis Security Series)Phoenix Rising: A Fortis Security Novel Book 7 by Maddie Wade
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Phoenix Rising is book seven in the Fortis Security Series by Maddie Wade. I like this series with each new instalment, and have to say that Daniel and Megan’s story is the best so far. It was edgy, packed with action and bursting with passion and danger.

Megan and Daniel face a rough road, and the attraction he fights is both entertaining and frustrating. Maddie Wade draws out the intensity expertly and maddeningly. Burning with the relentless urge to know all the mystery surrounding their story, I turned the pages way too quickly. I did not want their story to be over. I could have read about them for days more. A story bursting with heat, sexiness and energy, Phoenix Rising is a must read. 5 stars.

Transformations (The Shifter Series) by Cari Schaeffer- Review by Anna Hirsch

Transformations (The Shifter Series, #1)Transformations by Cari Schaeffer
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Transformations (The Shifter Series) by Cari Schaeffer
4 Stars

This is the first book that I have read from this author and wow, it was good. There are two families that have been at war for centuries; the Barotkoffs who are magical and the Wolffs who are shifters. Katherine is seventeen and her transformation has started. Coming into her powers has not been easy and she is scared to shift. She just wants to be normal. She finally meets a guy who is everything she could ask for and he turns out to be a Barotkoff! Her family will never accept her attraction to one of their mortal enemies. Will their forbidden love be allowed to blossom?

The thing I found really interesting is the explanation the author gave for how they came into their powers. It was different and original. I found that the story was a little slow to start but once it did, it took off. It is a shifter story with a cool twist. Each character had a distinct personality that brought something to the story. It ends in a shocking cliffhanger that has me itching to read the next part in the series.

Just Exes by Charity Ferrell – Review by Krista Beck

Just ExesJust Exes by Charity Ferrell
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Just Exes is the story of Lauren and Gage. When Lauren’s apartment burns down, Gage arrests her for starting the fire. This is how they run into each other, years after Lauren broke Gage’s heart. Even thought its been years since they’ve seen each other, some feelings just never go away. It’s an “I hate that the I love you” situation. I went into this thinking it was going to be another exes get back together book, but I wasn’t pleasantly surprised to see that it was so much more than that. They each have their own things they are keeping from each other, but it doesn’t keep the two apart. .This is the first I’ve read of Charity Ferrell, and I was not disappointed.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Burning Britely by Deidre Huesmann a four-star read that will burn your heart. I picked this read up as I had enjoyed the authors work before and like the way they write so I didn’t read the blurb before picking it up, and it was a refreshing way to read as it gave me a totally fresh palate and I loved the story, it was powerful, emotional and compassion. Watching Jeff as he grew into himself, watching him go through high school and face the struggles and watch him study to cope, his friendship with Braeden faces lots of social pressure and this book will be great for any young person to show them what we all face, or anyone who was once young, anyone who faced similar struggles.

Repressed (Ash Park, #3) by Meghan O’Flynn – Review by Michelle Austin

Repressed (Ash Park, #3)Repressed by Meghan O’Flynn
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Repressed was a great 5 star read and is book three in the Ash Park series.
All I can say is wow, after reading this book, it was disturbing, dark, intense and twisted. Once I started I didn’t want to put it down.

I was excited to get to know Morrison better in this book. He is newly married and a new dad on top of it. He had a serious addiction in his past that has caused some blank spots in his memory. When his family is kidnapped his past comes spiraling back.

Will he be able to save them in time?

This was a fast paced read that twisted me in so many directions. There is so much going on I don’t want to give anything away. The secondary characters added a great element to the story. I have to say I wouldn’t be disappointed if Roger fell off the face of the earth, I did not care for him at all. My emotions were all over the place and I was on the edge of my seat. Meghan does a great job with her writing and all the detail, she pulled me right in. You feel like your right there with the characters. If you love dark suspense this is definitely the book for you. This can be read as a stand alone. Warning: some scenes are gruesome and could be triggers for some.

New Bloom by A.E. Gamrat is the first installment of the Bloom Duet. It is a YA Coming of Age story about a young lady, Gwen, that graduates college and goes through the motions of how to live her life after living a sheltered life. Gwen has always followed her Mother’s rules and has never had a boyfriend. She doesn’t know how to let go and have fun. While working at her parent’s flower shop, she meets Kame. She is instantly attracted to him and is confused by her feelings, as she has never felt that way about anyone. Will she be able to break free from her sheltered beliefs and let loose for Kame? Will Gwen’s mother approve of her relationship with Kame? This was a well written story that flowed seamlessly. I enjoyed reading this story and look forward to reading the second book to find out more about Gwen

Eternal Bloom (Bloom Duet Book 2)
By A.E. Gamrat
4 Stars

Eternal Bloom by A.E Gamrat is the second installment of the Bloom Duet. This books starts where book 1 left off. I recommend reading New Bloom so you can get the background on the main character. Gwen’s mother was admitted to the hospital and she is dealing with the possibility of her mother not able to fully recover. Gwen’s life seems to be going downhill and losing grip. She also fears that her relationship with Kame will also fail due to her mother’s health and also the fact that her mother was not fond of Kame. He is has communication issues and seems to be hiding something. This story concentrates more on Gwen’s relationship with her mother and her inner turmoil dealing with her current situation in her life. Gwen’s grows a lot within the second book and is much stronger compared to the first book. I truly enjoyed this book duet and recommend to any that enjoys YA and Coming of Age books. I am pretty sure there are plenty of readers that can relate to Gwen’s story.

Distraction (Distraction, #1)Distraction by Angela McPherson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Tristan has been happy attending the University where he is playing what he loves, football. It wasn’t his first choice but he sacrificed it for his best friend, Elle, after his father threatened to ruin her chances. Encouraged by his fiance, Kellie, he applied to the same Uni she will be attending and has been accepted. Kellie knows Elle and Tristan are best friends but she does not like the closeness between them and feels threatened especially now since they will be attending the same college. Tristan has not told Elle about Kellie and is worried what Elle’s reaction will be when she finds out about his engagement to Kellie.

After the transfer Tristan finally contacts Elle and lets her know about Kellie and his transfer to the same Uni. Elle is taken aback at this news and tries to hide her feelings for Tristan, the one she has loved her whole life. Elle tries to be friends with Kellie and get over Tristan but finds she can’t. Alyssa, Elle’s other best friend gives her the kick she needs to move on and starts to date Eric. Tristan is given an ultimatum from Kellie, it’s either her or Elle but Tristan refuses to give up Elle, the girl he has loved his whole life.

Will Tristan and Elle finally be brave enough to tell each other how they feel or will they continue to make do?

I really wanted to smack some sense into both Tristan and Elle but enjoyed this story along with the background stories. If you enjoy contemporary romance, then this is a book for you.
