Breathless in Love Audiobook (The Maverick Billionaires Book 1) by Bella Andre & Jennifer Skully – Review by Kayla Octaviano

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Loved this audiobook! The narrator was on point, really making me feel like I was in the story. Will is a rich man who doesn’t know what he is missing until he meets Harper. Harper is in the same boat, except she feels like she has much more to lose, because she has Jeremy. Jeremy is Harper’s younger brother who has a brain injury making her his caretaker. Will comes into their lives and turns them upside down. But is it a good thing, or bad? This book is not just your usual romance novel, it also has speed, cars, family, loss, and so much more. Listen to this book! It is the whole package!

The Warrior (The Freemasons #3)The Warrior by Nicole Flockton
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The Warrior is the third book in the Freemasons series by Nicole Flockton. Sienna has feelings for Jude however he is reluctant to open up to her as he has dedicated his life to looking for his sister Renee. When a sighting of Renee leads him to start looking for her in another country, Jude and his fellow ex-military friends need Sienna’s help to infiltrate the organisation that has her. This is a good read, the chemistry between the two main characters is there and you can feel the pain and panic while Sienna is undercover. It is quite fast paced which is nice and the story is intriguing. I would recommend.

Loved these books!

#7:

I don’t understand how these books keep getting better & better. Everything single time a new one comes out, sign me up! While there are slight similarities between the books for obvious reasons, each and every book is different. Different situations and life stories. I don’t know how she does it. Literally 🤯 = me. All I truly know is that in previous books we have seen glimpses of Nico & Mia, and we don’t really know who either of them are. Nico we’ve seen a bit more, but I like that they both flourish and develop naturally in this book. I truly hope this isn’t the end of the road! Maybe some sequels or spin offs of the current Chicago families would be nice. However honestly anything Amy McKinley writes will be amazing!

A great story of the underdogs finding their way survive and come up on top! I loved that aspect of this book. It was refreshing! What starts off as a whoopsie, ends up being one of the best decisions Summer & Luc make! It starts their angsty and steamy roller coaster of a ride. In the beginning there’s tons of mistrust and secrets, but with time they see the truth and gain trust. Many curveballs and surprising moments. In the end everything happens to a reason and everything plays out as it should. Summer is welcomed with the wives & family and clicks with them instantly like she meant for that life all along!

What did I think? This was a steaamyyy savage love affair!

Firstly the glossary of who’s who on the first page… chefs kisses! I have not read any of the previous books and was worried I would be lost but luckily wasn’t! I loved that you get both perspectives of the main characters POV. This made it easy to follow, and loved to see how they both were truly feeling. I like that we got to be in both of their heads! This book was filled with hellaaa spicy moments, lotsss and lotsss of plot twists, and roller coaster moments. It had me on the edge of my seat and with the popcorn ready! I could not put this book down to save my life!

Overall a really great read, and I can’t wait to read more in this series!!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The Soppranaturales hotel is a great place to go if you’re not human. Vampires, witches, werewolves and much more reside here under the human radar and its kind of like a safe house for monsters.
Link is the last known Fae and lives at the Soppranaturales hotel and works as a clerk. His life is completely changed when Ommily enters the hotel and he realizes that she is also Fae. As the last 2 fairies on the planet, they have the potential to be the most powerful beings alive but they have to prove that they are as powerful as they’re supposed to be.
Both of these characters are impulsive and it had me shaking my head throughout the whole novel. The descriptions of the surroundings and the use of magic was very detailed and easy to envision. I’m not ready to check out of the Soppranaturales hotel but; alas there are no more pages.

A momma bird one-day returns to her nest to find another bird laying an egg in her nest. To the Momma Warbler, it’s just one more egg to take care of. Soon enough, the egg hatches and the baby bird has a much larger appetite than expected… I really enjoyed how entertaining and well-written the story was. I can easily see myself reading this story to children and getting into a scientific-based talk about this phenomenon. The illustrations are also beautiful and easy to follow and decipher.

Jude is desperate to get his sister back from the human traffickers who took her nearly 3 years ago. He and his friends, all of whom are freemasons, have been working the past three years to free Renee and others like her who were snatched off the Australian streets and whisked away for nefarious purposes. Sienna works for a shelter ran by a charity set up by Jude and his friends to help homeless and those who have been trafficked and rescued to be able to reunite with family or to be self sufficient, due to being given help, counseling, and jobs. When Jude and his friends come up with a plan to send Sienna in undercover to try and verify information that they have received that might lead them to Renee, Sienna must rely on her experience as a soldier who has been undercover before to save and protect not only herself, but Renee and all the others who are in the same location that Renee is. Jude, who is also a veteran, must rely on himself as well as the team they go with to get Sienna, Renee, and the others to safety without losing himself, the sister he’s been missing, and the woman he loves but has been resisting because he didn’t think he deserved happiness while his sister was gone.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I really enjoyed this story. The characters were easy to like and the enemies to lovers story was good with a unique twist.
This story is definately a rom com filled with funny goings on. Our main characters at first hate each other after Georgia finds out that Hudson is part of the family that is messing up her business and threatening the animal shelter she cares so much about.
Any attraction that was there goes in an instant to hate.
But there is a twist in this tale.
Georgia is part of an influencer challenge as her pet dog and she is paired with a cat?

As they work as a team to complete the challenges the connection between them gets stronger but neither knows who is behind their pets.
What happens when the owners come out from behind their pets? Will the attraction still be there? Or will they continue to fight like cat and dog?

This is a really fun story and I loved the pet element it added extra mystery to the story as you don’t know who is behind the pets and when it is reveled you will be shocked and happily surprised.

While this is the seventh book in the series, it can be read as a standalone.
I’m going to be honest, I nearly passed up this book because of the word Benies in the title. For some reason that word just grates on me. But, then I read the description of the book and decided to give it a chance. I quickly learned that I am not the ideal reader for this story.
That being said, if you are a fan of rom com hijinks, this might be a good read to pick up. It’s got sweet moments, steamy moments, and a lot of pining with a satisfying HEA.

Breathe Underwater by Anise Storm & Taylor L. Ray – Review by Ashley Mertz

Breathe UnderwaterBreathe Underwater by Anise Storm
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Read this if you:
*Enjoy steamy second chance mafia romance
*Believe in living each day as if its your last
*Adore a journey of finding happiness between two broken souls

Meet the Authors: Anise Storm is a USA Today bestselling author of contemporary and dark romance. She is married with children, has a love for football, shoes, and tall dark heroes. When not spending time with family or traveling, she can be found either curled up with a good book or writing.
Taylor Ray writes funny, flirty, and moderate dirty romances, ranging from dark romance to contemporary. She earned her Bachelor’s in Radio/TV/Film and held down three jobs before becoming a single parent. She currently resides in Dallas where she enjoys patio dining, live music, and being ruled by a feline overlord.

Synopsis: “In a world of lies, one truth will remain. When I was left to drown underwater, you were the air that kept me breathing.” 17 year old Evelyn has no idea her father has paid Damian to go far far away and stay away from his daughter. Tutoring Damian had turned into so much more. When he left, Evelyn thought she did something wrong, she was heartbroken. 13 years later, Damien sneaks back into her life when he is given a work assignment in Texas. Can they pick up where they left off? Or are there too many secrets standing in the way?

Reader’s Thoughts: Breathe Underwater was full of angst, suspense, pain, healing, and love. The obstacles and challenges Evelyn and Damian experience in this novel are so down to earth and open your eyes to true struggles. I thoroughly enjoyed Evelyn’s character, she was so stubborn and brave but reckless at times. Damian was courageous in his want to guard Evelyn. It drove me crazy that he kept pushing her away but he felt this was the only way he knew how to protect her. If I could change anything about this novel it would be the length and streamlining the plot throughout. I felt at times some scenes were very drawn out with word and information overload whereas other parts were rushed, lacked detail and left you with many questions. Overall this novel had amazing character development. The chemistry between the two main characters was intriguing and the push and pull of the two really added to the story line. I would not hesitate to recommend this book to a friend!

Trigger Warnings: This book contains scenes of dark subject matter including flashbacks of abuse. It also contains graphic violence-both sexual and physical.

Available now in Paperback and eBook.

I love falling back to my go to genre. Romance is my favorite genre and this was just what the doctor ordered. I like how the lead is complex. I love how the characters compliment one another and how the story is unfolded. I really like how it has a link to music. There is always a bit of the unseen when there is a bit of the character built on lies but it all works out in the end and that is what had me on the edge of my seat. I just couldn’t put this book down to see how it would unfold. I will definitely read more from this author in future.

The Warrior (The Freemasons #3)The Warrior by Nicole Flockton
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This story is an action packed romance. The story continues with our Freemasons. Jude and Sienna finally get the chance to come together after flirting in the last book. The spark has been there. Jude has been focused on finding his sister, Renee. Until she is found, he doesn’t want to get into a romance. He feels so guilty, that it is his fault. Sienna, the director of the Freemasons Homeless shelter, is dealing with her own hassles, but she is there for him. This story will grip you right from the start. This author is one of my favorite romance authors for her writing. It’s contemporary. It’s heartfelt. You can feel the emotions as they work out their relationship. The major action comes as a rescue attempt is made for Renee. The drama and adventure will leave you on the edge-of-your-seat wanting to know what’s happening. The cliffhanger is exciting. Some major characters make an appearance in this book from the previous books. The upcoming final book is on it’s way. The story of Declan and Renee will be told. I can’t wait. I have loved this series.

What an amazing book! I was intrigued from the moment I read the synopsis. One action, seemingly innocuous, can have ripple effects that last decades and impact generations. The two main characters experience tremendous growth and development throughout the timeline, while others do not. Readers experience the power of forgiveness, and witness the devastating results of generational poor parenting.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This book was not what I was expecting—from first glance at the book’s cover, it looked like it would be about music, however it was instead a collection of poetry; covering many of today’s topics and issues. The last time I enjoyed poetry like this was when I was younger and read the books from Shel Silverstein. To me, Euphoric Wonderland is the adult version of the Shel Silverstein books. Besides the captivating poems, beautiful art work was included. The combination of wonderful poetry and amazing illustrations made for a relaxing read! So, if poetry is your thing, I highly recommend.

El is a rock stars’s stepdaughter, so she understands the press and the spotlight. Her parents have never wanted that for her, but all she wants is to be her own artist and sing her own music. Nobody understands how music speaks to El, until she meets Wil. Wil comes from a poorer childhood, but happy nonetheless. He doesn’t feel like he’s missed out on anything living with his mom and grandfather. But when Wil’s mom gets sick, he understands he has to do anything to make sure she is taken care of. Meeting El was not an accident, but falling for her… Read this book and see how the story turns out. It holds love, friendship, trust, and betrayal, but can they find their way through it all? The story is stretched out perfectly, just the right amount of time between plot changes, and relationship changes. The author did an amazing job with this book and I look forward to reading more books of hers!

Love a strong female lead! Will definitely be looking for more from this author and her wonderful characters!

LOVED this book! This is my first read by this author and it was ADDICTING. As soon as I started I refused to put it down! I loved how commonplace magical folk are- and the idea of glamor to disguise their true appearance. The mcs, Sin (what a great name) and Rad (adorable with his contractions), were so much fun to read- their chemistry was off the charts and I loved their adventures. I’m a big fan of reading books with the MCs point of view and even more so when it switched between the two of them. I’m so excited I found a new author to read in a genre I love! I’m ready to start the next in the series- check this one out friends! You won’t be disappointed!

Linda Burson, a native of Pennsylvania, but long time Connecticut resident, has been writing ever since she was given a writing assignment in school, at the age of eight. Later, as a teenager, she started out writing memoirs and attempted several nonfiction pieces.

After attending college studying English, Psychology, and Business Law, Linda worked in positions where she wrote and edited papers for others. She spent time pursuing other interests, and traveling. Much of Linda’s free time was spent reading mysteries, romance, and women’s contemporary fiction novels.

After several attempts at writing nonfiction, but having life get in the way, she put her passion on hold again. She gave up writing to focus on raising her daughters, being a wife, running her own businesses and taking care of her dog, a Lhasa Apso named Nathan.

After a serious bout of breast cancer, Linda eventually closed her business after fifteen years. She decided it was time to attempt writing again. This time, however, with nothing to distract her, she decided on tackling fiction, a contemporary, commercial romance with a dark edge.

On January 1, 2013, she sat down with her laptop and started writing the first chapter. After a few more chapters, she realized the story wasn’t near complete. Before she was aware of it, her idea of a single book turned into a trilogy, which turned into a much longer series called the MARCY SERIES. There are a total of thirteen books in the series. Most of the series were published by a small publishing house. After the publishing house closed, Linda re-edited the series, gave the novels new covers, and self-published them.

When asked about inspiration, Linda has this to say: “Nobody really inspired me to write, but I do remember my mother and father always saying ‘anything you put your mind to you can accomplish. Don’t ever let anyone tell you, you can’t do something.’ Having the support and encouragement of my family is also important.”

Linda has also published a standalone murder mystery novel entitled, Murder Among Friends, a romantic suspense novel called, The Colors of my Life, and a short story as a part of a five-story anthology with other authors called Where There’s Murder, There’s Mystery. Her story is entitled, Lies Aren’t Forever. Another Romantic suspense called The Kidnapping has also just been self-published.

Hate You Later (Lit Lovers Series Book 1) by Ciara Blume – Review by Amanda Haller-Doris

Hate You Later (Lit Lovers, #1)Hate You Later by Ciara Blume
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This was such a cute rom-com! The main characters are doing an online Petfluencer challenge and they have been paired together, but they have no idea who the other person is, because part of the challenge is they can only communicate as the personality of their pet. While they are struggling to figure things out in the real world, their pet personalities are starting to wonder if a cat and dog can make things work. Georgia is a fantastic main character who takes no nonsense from anyone. She is tiny but fierce, the complete opposite of her sweet boxer mix Cookie. Hudson is her perfect match, a sexy Viking lookalike that gets her heart racing, despite knowing it’s his family that is creating barriers for her business to help support the animal shelter. Hudson is cat sitting Oliver, a very prissy white cat. Add in coffee witch best friend, a brilliant stepsister, and a loving brother, you have all of the hallmarks of a great romantic comedy, full of hilarious banter and misunderstandings. The characters are all fans of a podcast called Lit Lovers which is common theme throughout the book. I am so excited to see which character will be featured in the next series and I look forward to seeing Georgia, Cookie, Hudson, and Oliver in the next book!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

So sweet. I absolutely love the way that these two star crossed lovers have their own sets of pros and cons that seem to compliment the other, and give the other the ability to better themselves in all aspects of their lives. Though they may not have been honest from the start, there’s something to be said for feeling that instant connection. I have always felt as though others have a secret agenda, so following this connection, their dialogue, and the plot thicken as the pages were flipped, I enjoyed the back and forth immensely.

Family comes first, always, and it is made apparent within these pages that the author feels much the same and wants her characters to be portrayed as such as well. The character building, the angst that one would feel at their age, and the weight of the world comes through to the reader clearly, and I thoroughly enjoyed reading Will and Melodie’s story. Will be back for more from her. Pure entertainment, well done!

Scott Warren won a loyal reader in me from this book! I thought from a glance at the cover that I would enjoy it, but I never expected that I would have loved it so much. This Sci-Fi read is full of action in every chapter and the world building is remarkable!

Rande ‘Vandal’ VanDelle is our main character, and he is in for more than he bargained for. He works as a veteran tank mechanic until he’s attacked while he works on a tank. There is nothing scarier than a literal trial by fire as he must learn how to operate and fight these tanks to save his life. Will he be able to pick up enough to scrape by, or will Vandal be overthrown?

The story felt so real with the author’s incredibly detailed depiction of each scene. I am eagerly awaiting the second book in this series as well as picking up others by this author. I highly recommend you pick this up, you won’t be disappointed!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

As you might imagine, most of these rock star romance novels end with a very cute happily ever after. I’m not complaining, at all. Honestly, the way that different authors write, it intrigues me to no end, and this author was no different. Though the story follows two main characters, being Ella and Jared, you’re not torn in trying to decide who you’re more connected to. Rather, you feel for them both. Jared is this hardcore play boy that has a touch, yes, a touch, of anxiety and a myriad of other things going on, and what he wants more than nothing else is to be enough. Ella, oh Ella. She doesn’t know what she wants, but she knows she wants what she sees in her group of friends. In all ways.

Ultimately, this novel came at me, and I devoured it, very quickly. Especially with the colder weather coming up, the idea of being stuck in a cabin with a hot play boy for a quick little tryst sounds like just what the doctor ordered. I will be going back and reading more of this authors work, as she definitely has the writing skill bug, and I love it! Highly recommend.

While this isn’t my first read from this author I was initially worried that it wouldn’t hold up to my expectations, but boy was I wrong. Per usual the characters are perfectly developed, the plot was intriguing and flowed beautifully, and the action was amazing. The lead characters played off each other perfectly and this story was so different that I couldn’t possibly compare it to the authors previous series. So if you’re looking to start a new series make sure to run and pick this one up today.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Just One More Egg is a beautiful children’s story and great for all ages as well. This author never disappoints. The story talks about the love of a mama warbler for an egg that was not her own and how even when the egg hatched and caused a bit more work for the mama she still loved and appreciated it just as much as her own eggs that eventually hatched.
As an educator this book has a lot hidden within it. I enjoyed that even though the mama warbler knew the egg/baby was not hers she still cared for it like her own and that she understood it was different but treated it the same. Children can benefit from reading this great example of how we can all be a bit different but in the end should be treated just the same no matter what the circumstances.
I would highly recommend this book to any educator or parent looking for a well written and illustrated story for their class or own child.
