Virtue and Vice (Spicetopia #2) by Phoebe Alexander
4 Stars

Though this is book two in the Spicetopia series, it can be read as a stand-alone. This book revolves around Moon and Katja whereas the first part involves mainly Cy and Jolie. It would be a good idea to read the first book so that you can get a background on the story line but you can still follow the story if you don’t. All four embark on a new enterprise, an adult theme park. At this park, there will be something to satisfy everyone’s fantasies. Sounds exciting! The four are getting quite comfortable with each other but certain personal problems arise between them. Can they handle things maturely or will their hopes and dreams of building this park blow up in their faces?

A little warning, this book is explicitly sexual. It is definitely geared towards a mature audience. Some scenes are so hot, I’m surprised my book didn’t catch on fire! This is another winning book by Phoebe Alexander.

Diamonds & Deception (Karina Cardinal Mystery Book 3) by Ellen Butler – Review by Francis O’Sullivan

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

Diamonds & Deception is the third book in Ellen Butler’s gripping Karina Cardinal Mystery series. We’ve had art theft, we’ve had assassination, and now we’re onto jewellery theft. Karina seems to get tangled up in everything!
Karina is a lobbyist whose past escapades have built her a network of talented, helpful people who are ready to leap into action when trouble comes. And trouble does always come. She’s resourceful, dedicated and doesn’t take no for an answer. There’s a brilliant scene where she can’t access her apartment as a man (who had the clever idea to get high on a weeknight) thinks there is a dragon in there. She’s tired, wants to go to bed, and so sets the imaginary dragon on him and walks through the door.
In this book we get to see a lot of Karina’s sister, Jillian. It’s good to see the supportive relationship between the sisters, how readily they come to each other’s aid. It is Jillian’s friend, Sadira, who is accused of stealing diamonds. What at first seems to be a simple misunderstanding escalates as the sisters learn more about Sadira and come up with more and more questions.
Diamonds & Deception is a real page-turner! It’s a great mystery, that keeps you on the edge of your seat. This is an exciting series with plenty of variety and brilliant characters – I would recommend starting at the beginning with Isabella’s Painting to enjoy the story as it unfolds. For me, this is definitely a five star book!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Toxic Blonde: A Johnny Delarosa Thriller by David Stever is the second book in the Delarosa series. you can read this as a standalone however it is the same character as the first book so you will miss a lot of the character development. I would recommend reading them in order.
These books are brilliant they are exciting and fast paced, full of suspense and twists and turns. The whole way through the book I kept waiting for the next thing to happen because I just knew it was going to come.
This author has such a captivating way of writing. Everything kicks off immediately without any long drawn out build up. You are drawn in instantly to the story. If this is your genre then I would definitely recommend this series.

Hidden Tracks by Zoe Lee is a romantic standalone read that will definitely draw you in from the beginning. Astrid and Seth are enjoyable and relatable characters with amazing chemistry – you can feel it between every one of their interactions.
The whole way through the author creates an easy to read story. I can say I certainly enjoyed the overall story line however it was definitely the character development that held my interest. I loved experiencing the journey they went through.
I have read only a little of this authors work but this book has cemented the fact that I will be reading more by her in the future.

Sugar & Spice (Spicetopia Book 1) by Phoebe Alexander

5 out of 5 stars
Sugar & Spice is the first book in the Spicetopia series written by Phoebe Alexander. The book started out slow, but I ended up loving this book, it is a little different from her other books but with the same flare we have come to expect from Ms. Alexander books. The characters are amazing, and the plot was awesome.
Cyrus Sweet is the youngest son of the owners of a kid’s theme park called Sweetopia. To force him to pull his weight in the company, Cyrus is made to go undercover to find the employee who is causing an uprising. But he finds The Red Velvet Queen and she opens his eyes to the troubles in Sweetopia will he choose his family, or will he do right by the employees of Sweetopia?
The Red Velvet Queen is really Jolie Cox and she a single mom who relentlessly struggles to make a living for herself and her sons.
They both met when they disguise what will happen when Jolie finds out who Marcus aka Cyrus is? Will she walk away with out listening to Cy? Will Cy give up on Jolie?
You will need to read this amazing book…. I can’t wait to read book two in this series.

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

I love a good thriller and it feels like forever since one hooked me like this one did! This book is pack with everything that you would want in any book! Action, suspense, and drama were all paced into this story. The one thing I do love is the secondary characters that David Stever writes. They always bring a new dimension to the story!

Johnny Delarosa is back at it again with an infidelity case, because cheating spouses pay the bills, but what he thinks is another classic boring case turns into something WAY more. This is one of those books you just want to dive into without too much information and let it suck you in! This book was the perfect binge read and I cannot wait for more!

Journeys Through SpaceTime (Journeys Through Book 1) by James Talisman – Review by Erin Wolf

Journeys Through SpaceTimeJourneys Through SpaceTime by James Talisman
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I give Journeys Through SpaceTime (Journeys Through Book 1) by James Talisman, 5 stars.

This book takes individuals from many different worlds and links them together by one thing — they all have a mysterious voice they hear in their heads saying the exact same thing. Then thry each have to remember why they are hearing this voice. Each one of these characters is completely different and each one is dealing with a separate issue at the same time. Not only do the all have the same belief system, they are facing some sort of evil unique to their individual situations. That is the very basic outline of the story, put into a science fiction type of story.

The world building the author has created is absolutely incredible. There are multiple people in multiple worlds, and they are all created so well, you can picture yourself there. That is the goal of most fantasy/science fiction authors and this author nailed it. Then there are the characters. Again, each and everyone unique, with their own personalities and issues. These are not just flat placeholders to help the story along, the are very real.

Then there is the story itself. Actually, it is really like many stories in one book. To me, each person could easily have their own book. But the author rotates back and forth among the characters, making you wait to see what will happen next. But it is done so well, it does not feel forced or broken up at all. I was drawn into each story and could not wait to finish it. Of course, I have my favorites, but really, I would love to see them all again in future books.

While this book is definitely complex, the storytelling is phenomenal and I recommend to fans of science fiction and fantasy.

Sugar & Spice (Spicetopia Book 1)Sugar & Spice by Phoebe Alexander
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Sugar & Spice by Phoebe Alexander a five-star read that’s as sweet as sugar. This is the first novel in the Spicetopia series and all I can say is bring on the rest, this just gave the first taste of the sweetest desert and I want to eat every last bite. Cyrus is a difficult character at times, but he shows us all just what he is made of in the end, hearing his voice tell his story helped me come around to him. Jolie is someone we all need in our life, hearing her story just made me need more Jolie in my life. I cant wait to dive into number two, as even though they don’t have to be read in order there is a reading order so I do plan on reading them in order.

A Cowboy Under the Mistletoe Anthology by Susan Fisher Davis, Leslie Garcia, Melissa Keir, Debbie Desmarteau, Stephanie Berget, D’Ann Lindun

5-Stars

A Cowboy Under the Mistletoe Anthology was an excellent Collection of stories. These stories were written well with very few errors. Each story was creative and fun. I loved the romance in each. I also enjoyed the character development.

One story in particular that I enjoyed was by Author Melissa Keir. This was titled Tempting The Cowboy. I have read other Books by her and I love how she incorporates the current day Cowboy into them. I found it easy put myself in the setting of this book. Her characters struggle with temptation against an old addiction in her story. I really enjoyed it.

Over all this Anthology is easily worth its 5-Stars. The authors created amazing stories that would appeal to a various audience. I highly recommend this collection.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Diamonds & Deceptions is the third novel in the Karina Cardinal Mystery series by Ellen Butler. This is my third novel by this author.

Karina’s relationship with her college friend Mike is hitting a rough patch. When her sister Jillian calls her asking for help involving her friend Sadira Manon, the two are ina mystery not sure of what the full story is.

Will she call on Mike when she finds trouble again?

I really love these mysteries and I look forward to reading one whenever I see a new one is getting released.

These don’t have to be read in order, though some of the characters are recurring and the progression of Karina’s relationship with Mike, the mysteries are very entertaining.

I look forward to another in this series.

I’m a huge fan of Miss Alexander’s and every book gets only better and better and this one definitely didn’t disappoint. Not only am I a fan of her but I’m also a fan of the single parent trope so I knew going into this that it was going to be a winner!

I love how this story was unique with the undercover boss aspect. Miss Alexander has a way of spinning some of the most unique stories that are like no other. I loved Cy and Jolie. I loved watching Cy’s personal growth through the story. It wasn’t something instantaneous but you will root for him throughout the story.

This book will consume you right from the get-go and I’m dying to read more!

This author has continued to impress me with her well written stories that keep me turning pages until the end. The characters made the story feel real and I could imagine myself with them. This is Astrid and Seth’s story. They meet at a music festival where he is part of an upcoming band and she is a journalist writing about his band. They meet and are curious about each other but are they willing to trust in fate? If he hits the big time will she walk away? I highly recommend this book.

Beneath the Fallen City by Jamie A. Waters a four-star read that will swoop in and save you. This is number one in the Omni Towers series and if the rest are as good then it shows great promise of being a series you wont want to miss, as this has some great world building and some great backstory for the characters, that for a single story wouldn’t work very well, but as a series shows great promise for the story. This is a great story of action and adventure with some love thrown in to change up the mix, Kayla is a great character and one you won’t want to miss.

I loved this book so much! I read her Nite Fire series and loved it, so I was pretty sure this book would be excellent. I was not disappointed. The world and character building are superb. You feel like you are right there in the story. I was hooked from the beginning. It has so many layers to it that you can’t help but keep reading.
I liked the different perspective on magic, making it both a strength and a weakness. This story is dark, action-packed, gritty, and intense. I’m looking forward to the next one!

I love post-apocalyptic stories and this book definitely did not disappoint me. There is action, romance and drama, all tying together to make for an excellent read. The characters were very well developed and the story sucked me in right away.
Kayla is one of our main characters. She is strong and independent and can stand on her own. She works as ruin rat, finding artifacts to trade. Carl is handsome, and works as a trader for Omni Lab, who acquires the artifacts requested from kayla.
There is an immediate attraction between the two, but they also both despise each other because of their different backgrounds. Carl ends up wanting to recruit Kayla to be on his team and at the same time Kayla is being hunted.
This book is again, so excellent and well worth the read. I do hope we get to see more of Veridian and read more of his story as well but either way I can’t wait to see what happens next!

Astrid Sinclair fought hard to become a respected music journalist, not just the ex-wife of a rock god. Her new story is about Downbeat, a folksy rock band about to break through to the big-time.

Seth Riveau has been living a peaceful, small-town life for the last six years. When his old band Downbeat invites him to play with them, he can’t say no to a chance to start moving forward again.

When they meet at a music festival, Seth is intrigued by the cool, illusive Astrid, while Astrid is curious about the calm, mysterious Seth. But he’s not prepared for the feelings Astrid causes, and she’s not ready to risk it all for someone new.

The rhythm is building a long time before they start to hear the lyrics. But what if Seth is moving towards stardom and Astrid’s totally done with the spotlight?

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

Claiming the Cowboy for Christmas by Kadie Scott is the fourth book in the Hills of Texas series.

There are so many things I liked about this story, Jennings sounded absolutely swoon worthy and Ashley was too adorable. They just fit so well with one another even when they were kids and didn’t even realize it.

I love reading books that take place in Texas and just imagine they are somewhere close to Austin which is where I’m at. I was disappointed that Ashley was and Aggie, but not everyone is lucky enough to bleed the Burnt Orange and it didn’t stop me from living her.

I have enjoyed each of the books I have had the pleasure of reading in this series and looking forward to the next one, which I’m assuming is Carter’s story.

Run from Love (Bowser Belles Book 2) by Teddy Cat Hester was a super romantic read. I would give this book a four out of five stars. I enjoyed the writing style and found myself reading page after page. I had my cringe reactions where I might as well have been reading between my fingers. I mean that in the best way possible. I love when a romance can get that kind of reaction out of me it means the characters are relatable. I liked Scarlett and Nick’s story, they had a good dynamic. I loved that Scarlett has an up front and honest personality. Nick kind of rubbed me the wrong way but I did warm up to him eventually.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This was a heart wrenchingly beautiful love story. When you find your true, one and only love at age 5, how can it possibly last a lifetime? That is what Charlie and Johnnie are trying to figure out. They were, are, and always will be the other half of each other. Yin and Yang. Light and darkness. But then again, don’t we all have a bit of darkness in us? This story explores that darker side. Anger, depression, alcoholism, fear. When we find someone who helps us combat those emotions, someone who brings light into our lives, we try to hold on to them in any way we can.

Charlie is that light to Johnnie. They are divorced but their son and Charlie’s daughter hold them together. The problem is they both have secrets and lies that could tear them apart forever, no matter how much love there is between them. The story isn’t all dark…you will instantly fall in love with Charlie’s daughter Abie. She is a 3 year old force of nature! Super smart and mature for her age, she knows just how to make everything better. She was definitely the star of the story. Making you laugh and smile even when you want to cry because your heart is hurting so badly for this family. And just wait until you see the antics she gets up to with the family pets!

This is truly a wonderful story that I feel I am better off for having read it. I highly recommend it and give it a full 5 stars! You don’t want to miss this one. Just be prepared for all the feels!

Wow! Virtue & Vice was an erotic book that I couldn’t stop reading. Moon and Katja have been asked to move and help start this adult-only theme park with Cy and Jolie who they just meet, will they take the offer Cy has given them? I thought the first book was HOT but Phoebe stepped up her game in this book. These characters are great; I went into this book not really knowing what was going to happen between these couples but I’m glad everything is working out between them. I can’t wait to read the next book to find out what is going to happen next on Purple Island.

This story is wonderful to read. It is romantic and sweet. I loved the characters of Ashley and Jennings. I grew to care about them with each chapter that I read. Their story pulled me in and didn’t let me go until the final page. There are so many moments when I had a smile on my face and saying “aww.” There are other characters that are enjoyable to read about. The book is entertaining and well-written.

Virtue & Vice (Spicetopia #2) by Phoebe Alexander – Review by Randall Murphy
The author continues the story of Cy and Jolie but with more flare and drama. It starts erotic and hot and continues the plot of working with Moon and Katja to develop the adult theme park. The chemistry is awesome between the characters and plenty of steam to keep you on edge. Even more than that I appreciate the way she develops the story and delves into the characters internal battles of emotion and desire. Both Katja and Jolie must face their fears and their own struggle to accept, even though they are very different situations. The story also shows how the men are connected to their women as they respond to the women’s emotional struggles. The two couples become even closer but not exactly in the way you first expect.

Toxic Blonde was a great 5 star read and book two in The Delarosa Series. I enjoyed the first book in the series and I couldn’t wait to read this one.

Johnny is working on a new cheating case. HIs client is fearful and concerned her life is in danger. He learns from a family member that there may be more to the story than he originally thought. Moving forward the Russian Mafia and the FBI come into the story, making things much more interesting for Johnny.

Can he keep his client safe?

There were great secondary characters, we get to see Katie and Mike again and meet some new ones. We get lots of action, suspense, romance and so much more. I can’t wait to read more from this series. David pulls you right into the story and you won’t want to stop until your done. If you enjoy thrilling edge of your seat reads, this is your series. I suggest reading from the beginning so you don’t get lost.

The Fisher Men On the X by Rebel Nicks O’Dey is the third book in the Fisher Men Series.

I loved this book and think it’s now my favorite one in the series but I have loved them all. I have said it before and I’ll say it again, I love all of the Fisher Men!

There is so much we learn about Zack and Becca both in this book. Their back stories were riveting and I knew then I was hooked (see what I did there?) on these two.

This is the first in the series to make me cry and I cried more than once and promptly got picked on by my husband for crying over characters in a book even though I know for a fact he has done the same.

I’m so excited for the next book in this series, but I’m hoping this isn’t won’t be the end of the Fisher Boys and their lives. I hope these guys continue to speak with the author because I know I won’t be ready to let them go any time soon.
