Beneath the Fallen City (The Omni Towers, #1)Beneath the Fallen City by Jamie A. Waters
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I give Beneath the Fallen City (The Omni Towers Series Book 1) by Jamie A. Waters.

Ok, this is a new author to me and it sounded good, but I have been disappointed so many times in the past, I had no idea what to expect. OH. MY. GOD. This book was so good! The story itself is original and captures you from the beginning, never letting go until the end. And there is so much to the story! I found at least two different spots where a other books might end, but the story just keeps going on. You definitely get your money’s worth buying this book. The story itself covers many feelings: despair, love, fear, hope, and some humor thrown in to make it a rollercoaster ride of emotions you will happily ride. The world building is superb too, the author totally paints the picture of what she envisioned and you feel like you are there.

But we can’t forget the characters. Kayla is a superb main character. She feels lost, her parents have been gone for so long and in one way or another has lost all those she loved. Her best friend is all she has. Then she meets more people along the way and she has to decide if she should open her heart or not. There are many decisions she has to make in the story, and she uses her heart and what she has learned to decide. Most people do not understand her, but that still hasn’t stopped her from caring. There are so many secondary characters I could mention too, but I do no want to give anything away. I can say though that each one — whether friend or foe — is individual and stands apart from the others. There are quite a few I hope to see in the next book.

Ok, I think I am done gushing now. I have found a new author to love and cannot wait to read the next book. Needless to say, I highly recommend this wonderful book!

Claiming the Cowboy for Christmas (The Hills of Texas Book 4) by Kadie Scott – Review by Angela Hayes

Claiming the Cowboy for Christmas (Hills of Texas #4)Claiming the Cowboy for Christmas by Kadie Scott
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

4 ½ Stars

This book is a must read for anyone who loves a wonderful friends to lovers/contemporary holiday romance. It is a fun read that entertained me from beginning to end. If you have been following the ‘Hills of Texas’ series then you definitely won’t want to miss this story- you should definitely grab yourself a copy of this book and dive in ASAP. And if you are new to this series, or Kadie Scott’s work- then don’t worry, because this book can be read as a standalone, but be warned- there are recurring characters in this book/series, so be prepared to be intrigued enough by them to want to go back and to discover more about them all, by reading the other three books.
Claiming the Cowboy for Christmas is the fourth book in the Hills of Texas Series by Kadie Scott. It is a great (western) friends-to-lovers story; with swoony cowboys, a small town atmosphere, a little drama, plenty of chemistry, angst, some emotion, humour, second chances, forgiveness, and new beginnings- all wrapped up with a Christmas bow.

The Hills of Texas Series Books are:

-Saving the Sheriff (Book One)….. Cash & Holly’s story
-Resisting the Rancher (Book Two)….. Williams & Rusty’s story
-Taming the Troublemaker (Book Three)….. Autry & Beth’s story
-Claiming the Cowboy for Christmas (Book Four)….. Jennings & Ashley’s story

Ashley Hughes would love to just skip Christmas this year. She’s been avoiding going back ‘home’- but now she doesn’t have a choice because her twin sister is getting married. Now normally a Christmas wedding would be so romantic- but not when your twin is marring your Ex! Added to her stress is also knowing she will have to face the sexy cowboy who had once been her best friend- whilst dealing with the small-town rumour mill.
Jennings, who we’ve met in previous books, is the youngest of the Hill brothers. He’s charming and has a ‘history’ with Ashley. He’d always wanted to be more than just ‘friends’ with Ashley- and now she’s back having to deal with an awkward and painful situation. When he ends up being her ‘plus one’ to the wedding, it and may just ignite the spark that has been simmering between them.
This story was just like listening to a great country music song- with all the angsty, push-pull, broken hearts, mending fences, and finding love again. Ms. Scott proves to be a great storyteller who knows her craft and never fails to deliver a wonderful story. This would make a great Christmas movie too.
I can’t wait to continue this series. Bring on Book five!!

Thank you, Ms. Scott!

Claiming the Cowboy for Christmas (Hills of Texas #4)Claiming the Cowboy for Christmas by Kadie Scott
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I love Christmas books! They always get me into the moos for the holiday season no matter when I read them!

Ashley would love to do anything but deal with her hometown and all their whispers about her sister marrying her ex! Ashley has absolutely no feelings for him what-so-ever but that’s something no one believes. Enter Jennings, the ex best friend and person who is now her savior. He wants to help her out when it comes to town rumors but then rumors are linking them together romantically. The feelings stir but they are both too stubborn to admit it to one another! Will their stubbornness keep them apart?

I love Kadie Scott’s books. They being you all the feels, angst, drama, and everything you look for in a good book!

Another great great in the Satan Devils Colorado Chapter by Manda Mellett. Her books always have a way of bringing me into the story and holding me there till the very end. I may have not liked how the two main characters were brought together but they went through so much and together they came out stronger. I connected with Mel so much in this book and wish I could have read even more! I love how the Vegas trip and getting to meet so many more of the crew Ana Insight the crew!
I love this story, I love this author. Each story in my view gets better and better! I can’t wait to read more and honestly have already started reading more of her other series! I give this book five stars.

Higher Elevation Series : Books 1-3 by Renee Regent. I’m always happy to see box sets because I love reading books all at once. This set of stories had me on the edge of my seat with its suspense. Each story has relatable characters that draw you into their world and you can’t help but want to stay. I was completely hooked from page one of each story they all had me guessing right up until the end. If you’re looking for a series to sink into I highly recommend this series. It’s well written and paced nicely never feeling rushed or lacking anything. Each story will have you turning the pages as fast as possible to see where it’s all going. Five stars all the way and I can’t wait to see where this author takes readers next.

Fisher Men On the X (Book III)Fisher Men On the X by Rebel Nicks O’Dey
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Fisher Men on the X was a great 5 star read.
Boy where to start with this review, I loved it and didn’t want it to end.
This is Becca and Zack’s story.

Becca and Zack met when she was 7 years old, Zack made a commitment to always keep Becca safe. When Zack left, Becca felt abandoned and was heartbroken. When Becca was sent away to learn how to be a woman, Zack and his family rescued her.

From there the story takes so many directions my head was spinning. Becca goes through several learning phases, once she becomes an adult she decides to join the military. Throughout the years Becca and Zack are very close. Zack has always kept Becca at arms length, until one day things between them change.

Lost girls can be found

These two are so perfect for each other. They have the same strength and have scars they are working to get past. My emotions were all over the place. I think my favorite LOL moment was when all the women got drunk, it was classic. If your looking for a great read with some great characters you grow to love very quickly than 1-click and get started on this one. I am definitely putting it on my 2019 must read list.

My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Matt’s Swirly World is a beautifully illustrated short story designed to help parents deal with children’s behavioral issues in a healthy way. I think the illustrations will draw children’s attention and give parents a few talking points with their children. I don’t quite think the wording will hold the attention of the younger age range this book was written for, but their parents will understand and use the language to explain what is going on throughout the book. The use of dragons to teach breathing techniques is extremely smart. And I love the game of counting cars to engage the child in something fun and constructive.

I loved being able to see the Hill family again in this book, and finally Jennings book! You don’t need to read the other books to read and follow this book.
This story had something that I’ve not read about but maybe once or twice before, and it was done so well.
Jennings, i knew he was a big teddy bear under all the quick witted comebacks and sarcasm. He and Ashley had some history and I was so hooked on how this was going to play out.
And I loved seeing the other brothers in this story, even if they were just small interactions.
The chemistry was off the charts here, they just needed to open their eyes and see it.
Can’t wait for more from this author.

Diamonds & Deception (Karina Cardinal Mystery, #3)Diamonds & Deception by Ellen Butler
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the third book in the Karina Cardinal series. It can be read as a stand-alone as the story stands on it’s own, but the recurring characters are developed in the beginning of the series. While you will be able to settle into the story, I think it’s best if the series is read in order.

I’m now used to the protagonist’s intricate nature and quirks, so some things don’t come as a surprise. There are quite a few times that things are not as they seem and the intrigue and adventure move fluidly through out the story.

DIAMONDS & DECEPTION was a little bit slower in the beginning than the previous two stories, stick with it because the pace does pick up.

I recommend this book, this series and this author.

Fisher Men On the X (Book III)Fisher Men On the X by Rebel Nicks O’Dey
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I have to say that this is my favorite book in the Fisher Men series by author Rebel Nicks O’Dey. On the X was the first book in the series that I wasn’t totally lost reading. The style of the author’s writing seems to be progressing nicely and it’s making it easier to follow along. If you are starting this series it is necessary to read the first two books before this one, probably wouldn’t be a bad idea to read the interconnecting series about the Fisher sister and friends either. I loved Zack and Becca, Becca was a true hero, forged in fire and set in stone. Zack was exactly who she needed him to be for her to become the strong woman she was. There were many scenes where I laughed, cried and cheered this book had it all and it was a pleasure to read it. I look forward to the next book in the series to see how Morgan makes out and if we will ever find out who the casual observer is. I have an idea but I could be wrong!

A Dark Sparrow Box Set by India Kells
My rating: 5 out of 5 stars

Such a great set of books. The story in each book is filled with steamy romance, drama and action making for an excellent read, and this is only the first 3 of the six brothers!

In these books Lazarus King recruits Beatrice, his friend and the woman in charge of sending people out on dangerous rescue missions. Lazarus’ mission? To save all his bastard brothers from their father, Jamieson Finch.

The first books is about Aleksei and Deva.
Deva is such a strong woman. The way she pick up the pieces of her life after getting out of her father’s grip is admirable. When she chooses to help with wounded soldier’s rehab because of her brother, my heart melted, she is an amazing woman. When she meets Aleksei, it is no walk in the park. He pisses her off with almost everything he says but she still can’t deny the attraction they have.

The second book is about Zoe and Archer.
I just love Zoe. She is such a strong, independent, beautiful woman yet she is fragile and slightly self conscious. I am super impressed with her skills as a translator. The chemistry between her and her new boss Archer is off the charts. My heart breaks for Zoe, as sometimes she feels like she is not good enough for a man like him and then other times I want to scream at them both to just communicate better! The drama that unfolds with Archer’s new business buy out and Zoe’s brother is super exciting and along with all the action, fighting and plotting, really gave the book that extra edge. The secondary characters are very lovable and just as interesting to get to know. I would highly recommend this book and I personally can not wait to read Kai and Izzy’s story.

The third book is Izzy and Kai.
Kai’s father is a douche and Kai will stop at nothing to bring his father’s company down while also dealing with his feelings for Izzy. Izzy was brought in to help bring Kai’s father’s business down but at the same time her past secrets are revealed. Izzy is a strong woman, and her personality had me loving her from the very beginning.

These books can all be read as stand alones but they are MUCH better read in order, because they are all as equally amazing as the next one.

Right back into the thick of it again with Karina. I once again as not disappointed and was glued to the pages. I really like to read out of my favorite genre and this was a good read. I find the author to have a very refreshing style and draws the reader in.

I really like the investigative reporting angle and I like how the drama and the intrigue flow through the book. The characters jump off of the pages and draw the reader in wanting more. I like how the author brings realism to the characters. I also really relate to Karina and I find that the author really brings her to life. I look forward to reading more from this author and this series.

I was absolutely glued diving back into the shifter world created by C.A. King. This is the second book and I wasn’t disappointed. I really find the author’s style to be quite refreshing and aluring. The characters are very unique and their world is brought to life through the book.

Tails and Brodie have their hands full in this book. I really found that the author balanced the drama in this book and how it continued from the first to be very good. Their lives definitely got a few curves thrown at them in this book. I found that the author created quite the unique world and dealt with issues from the real world was very enlightening. I found the humans treatment of shifters really mirrors present day bias. I cannot wait to read more from this author and this series. I am anxious to see how this story will continue.

Hang On To Your Shirt Tails (Chasing Tails Book 2)Hang On To Your Shirt Tails by C.A. King
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Hang On To Your Shirt Tails (Chasing Tails Book 2) by C.A. King. This is the second installment of the Chasing Tails saga. I highly recommend reading the first book before to understand this one. Its the continuing story of Tails and Brodie and they have their hands even more full now with the adopted children. Its been a full time job helping them adjust . They’ve moved on in isolation for security reasons but that has brought on its own set of problems. The things they have given up are harsh and not everyone is willing to do that. Leaving “The Club” is almost impossible and believing the war is over is a huge mistake. These headstrong kids are in for the fight of their lives. Brodie and Tails will do anything to protect their family! Will they survive? This is a fast paced roller coaster ride of a book and I loved it.

Toxic Blonde: A Johnny Delarosa Thriller (The Delarosa Series Book 2)Toxic Blonde: A Johnny Delarosa Thriller by David Stever
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is the 2nd book in the Delarosa series.

In this book we find Johnny on the case of a cheating spouse. However things aren’t as simple as they seem.
When his client Mary- Ann is run of the road in her car things start taking a dangerous twist.

Add into the mix, the fact her husband works for a company that has links with the DoD, he is having an affair with his colleague who is a pretty blonde but is also ruthless and deadly, and the FBI doing an investigation on them as well. It all makes Johnny’s routine cheating spouse gig a lot more complicated.

This story is an adventure that keeps you gripped from page one.

Heartless by Jennifer Sucevic

5-Stars

Heartless by Jennifer Sucevic was an excellent and fun read. Hunter and Skye were excellent main characters that were developed well and realistic. I loved their description and had no difficulty picturing them. The storyline was easy to follow and addictive. I loved friendship, family, romance, strength and determination woven into it. It was organized and edited well.

The author had me hooked from page one and I could not put this book down. Skye and Hunter were once a couple but split at the end of high school which basically shattered them. Now Skye has returned and things are very different. Definitely check this book out! I highly recommend it.

Claiming the Cowboy for Christmas (Hills of Texas #4)Claiming the Cowboy for Christmas by Kadie Scott

When I first read the book’s description I knew I was in for a treat and From the very first page, I was hooked and could not stop until the very end and once I reached the end I was sad and immediately wanted to read it again. The Characters were very well rounded and able to relate to. This is the first book by Kadie Scott I have read but it will not be my last. I couldn’t get enough.
Ashley was everything a woman should be feisty yet sweet. Jennings is the Epitome of a sexy Cowboy!

Diamonds & Deception (Karina Cardinal Mystery Book 3) by Ellen Butler – Review by Angela Hayes

Diamonds & Deception (Karina Cardinal Mystery, #3)Diamonds & Deception by Ellen Butler
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

 

Diamonds & Deception is the third book in the Karina Cardinal Mystery series by Ellen Butler. It is a great mystery- with drama, danger, intrigue, tension, action, suspense, and more. Even though this is the third book in the series it can be read as a standalone without feeling like you are missing part of the story. But by not reading the first two books, you would be denying yourself some really great stories- and some recurring character introduction, backstories, and other information that would enhance your overall reading experience.
Karina Cardinal is a lawyer turned lobbyist in Washington D.C. She’s smart, controlled, spirited, independent and hard-working. She and her old college friend, Mike, turned their friendship into a relationship, but they’ve hit a bit of a rough patch of late and things start off a bit grim. So, when Karina’s sister Jillian calls her to help out a friend, the two sisters are drawn into a mystery which has them both questioning what is really going on. And when trouble comes calling, and you know it will, because Karina seems to attract it- will she call on Mike for help? Or is this the beginning of the end for them? With a diamond heist, danger, secrets, lies, multiple layers, surprising developments, and so much more to the whole situation than they ever suspected- you know you are in for a very intense ride.
As with the other two books, this is a really great story- but started off a little ‘slow’ in the beginning and I felt my attention wandering a bit in the first third of the book. But once the pace picked up, things really started flowing and the ‘action’ drew me in. Again, the characters are really well developed, crafted into fully realised individuals with their own personalities, quirks, and flaws. And all added to the overall storyline.
There is a “heavier” topic highlighted in this book, which I won’t go into here because I don’t want to spoil the story- but Ms. Butler definitely shone a light on it in a realistic and informative manner- but also with some sensitivity. I can imagine writing about such things would be easy- but again Ms. Butler doesn’t shy away from difficult subjects. She proves time and again what a great storyteller she is.
I am definitely looking forward to more from Ellen Butler!

Thank you, Ms. Butler!
