This is a well written and fast paced second chance romance that really pulls you in. For me this book is all about the characters and the connection they share. Although they don’t see each other for a number of years the connection is instant when the meet again. I really felt like I engaged with them and really wanted them to work things out. I thought the story was good. At times it felt like a bit more detail could have been included but overall it was enjoyable. It was a book that I found easy to read because it was easy to get into. This is a great story by an author I have really come to enjoy.

I’ve learned to expect the unexpected with this author’s books. After reading the first book, I dove into this one with an open mind and was ready for another exciting read – I was not disappointed. From the first chapter, I was hooked and drawn back into the world crafted in these pages. This book has more of the author’s blooming creativity and intense writing. Strange and horrifying in a charming and dramatic sort of way, this fantastical sci-fi read is perfect for Halloween and the spooky month we’re in!

This is the second book in the Grave Digger Academy series, and you definitely need to read the first book to know what is happening in this one. It picks up where book 1 left off.
I enjoyed this story, but it felt rushed. The timeline was a a bit confusing as there are jumps in time that are not clearly explained, especially at the beginning. As it got closer to the end, it improved and things made more sense. I still wish we got more of a sense of the day-to-day routine of the school and got more insight into other characters.
I enjoyed the inter-academy games, and adored the squirrel antics!

King – Review by Katrina Evanochko
This started out slower as I was trying to figure out all the characters and their place within the story. Then when the action revved up the storyline became more interesting and I sped through this. I liked the characters. Adrianna and Salvatore are quite the couple. Their individual characters are strong. Her being a doctor and not folding at the sight of Sal and his guys. He is temporarily Don and the way he puts others and family first is admirable. Together they are a force to be reckoned with. The secondary characters are very memorable as well.
Overall it is full of secrets and surprises. It is a good read that kept me on my toes as I wasn’t sure what would happen next. This is a first time author for me. I enjoyed the writing style and the world this author built. I look forward to more.

I cannot say enough good things about this thrilling book or the author! The book captivated and held me all the way through. The book was exciting and full of intriguing characters! A book that was worth a read!
I loved the author’s writing style for starters. I was captivated by the story that intrigued me truly. The story was easy to follow and the characters really made the book. Throughout my reading, I constantly wanted more. Sin was great! I greatly admired her, and her strengths and how bass ass she was. Learning about the Hidden, really mesmerized me, I wanted more, it was just intriguing all the way through. And let’s not forget the world of Terra. The book really brought everything to the table. I cannot wait to read the next installment. This book had a special kind of magic, and seriously, it would be a sin not to read this book!
Loved this book for all it was, and all it contained! Mesmerized and captivated me all the way through! Highly recommend this talented author, this book, and for sure this must read series! Loved it all!

The Victor by Nicole Flockton is book one in the Freemasons series. Getting a divorce is the only thing on Ava’s mind. Cole doesn’t love her, he’s never said it. This was a shotgun wedding and she’s all wrong for him. Cole is blindsided by the sight of his wife and her demand for a divorce. He doesn’t want it, he loves her. They had a rough patch and neither handled it together with the other. They both dealt in silence which put a huge gap between them. But now, Cole has the opportunity to have her help him with a gala for the Freemasons he’s a part of. It’s an easy way for him to slip her back into his life. But will it work? I liked their chemistry. They really seemed to want to be together but needed to get over their hurdle. I’n interested in this mysterious mission the Lodge is a part of and hope to find out more in the next story.

The Gauntlet is one action packed story that grabs you right from the start. The moment Link and Ommily see each other and that spark connects, I’m glued. What is it? Why is it there? They are the only two fae left and I’m intrigued to know where the story is going. New twist on the fantasy/paranormal. I loved it. Let’s have some more. The story is full of drama, adventure and an annoying human fiance.There are lots of supernaturals around. I loved all the characters. Such a variety to fit everyone’s needs. The chemistry is out of this world. I can’t wait to read book 2.

I was so excited to read this book after reading the first one. I love the continuation of the story. I felt like this book gave me a better understanding of the main character. This was a fun, entertaining read. The author knows how to keep you hooked throughout the book. Looking forward to the rest of the series.

King – Review by Jerricka Brown
I enjoyed reading this fantasy romance story. This is a new author for me which I enjoyed and look forward to seeing what is next for them. This is a well written story where the author used details to bring the story to life. The characters are connectable, strong and creative. They are characters that may not be all they are cracked up to be. Control can be something powerful but what will happen when you realize you may not have control at all. There are some twists and turns that had me sitting on the edge just waiting to see what would happen next. This is a fast paced story that is hard to put down. An engaging story that I highly recommend. You don’t want to miss what happens with these characters.

I enjoyed reading this mystery story. This is the fourth book in this series which I enjoyed by this author. I have enjoyed this author’s writing skills from the first book I picked up from her. This is a well written story about a farther’s murder or was it suicide? This is a story that also has a touch of romance added to it. You don’t want to miss what happens in this book between Beck and Devon. This is a fast paced story that is hard to put down. I found the characters to be relatable and truly made the story for me. They have great growth throughout the story which makes it easy and entertaining to read. I really enjoyed what the characters added to the story. I highly recommend this book and this author.

This isn’t the first book I’ve read by the author. The author knows how to keep me entertained with her historical novels. Each is better than the last. Divided Lives is the first book I’ve read by the author that doesn’t have anything to do with Notebook Mysteries.
Lottie is a lawyer by day and would hate for her private life to become public. When her on and off girlfriend goes missing she starts being blackmailed. Things start going sideways when Frank becomes involved. The quote I chose for Lottie is: “Why? I don’t know. After all the drama with Rose, Joseph seemed so sweet. He didn’t play games. If he said he was going to be somewhere, then that’s where he would be.”
Mafia Elite Series Box Set: Volume Two by Amy McKinley
This isn’t the first box set I’ve read by the author. The author knows how to keep readers entertained and keep coming back. Every book in this box set is amazing and I can’t wait for you to enjoy them.
Savage Secrets: An Arranged Marriage Mafia Romance (Mafia Elite #4)
This isn’t the first book I’ve read by the author. It’s also not the first book in the series that I’ve read. Each Mafia Elite book gets better and better. Max and Lil, Enzo and Sofia, Stephano and Em, and now Marco and Elena.
Marco is the Mafia boss for his family. He’s also the one who is sent to get Elena. He wants her to be his, but she doesn’t know of his feelings for her. Things happen that bring them closer together. The quote I chose for Marco is: “Going somewhere? Chloe James? Don’t think for one second I don’t know you’re Elena. I’d recognize you anywhere, in any disguise. This freckle, the shape of your eyes, the pout of your lips, even the smell of your skin. You can’t hide from me. It doesn’t matter what alias you use. I’ll always find you.”
Elena has been dead for the last four years in order to protect everyone she cares about. So when Marco shows up she runs because she doesn’t know if he wants her dead as well. He takes her back home and she finds that she’s getting married. The quote I chose for Elena is: “I’m not thrilled about it. Who would be? I found out I’m half Russian and related to a Bratva boss. Not exactly my dream evening.”
Ruthless Heir: An Enemies to Lovers Mafia Romance (Mafia Elite #5)
This is not the first read by the author. This is number five in the Mafia Elite Series. Each gets better and better. You never know what you’re going to get or what to expect.
Summer comes home from work to find her roommate and best friend dead. She knows what she has to do and she runs. She knows her friend’s ex is after her. The quote I chose for Summer is: “Stop bringing that up. It was a mistake and the first time I’d ever been to that bar. I wish I’d never gone.”
Luc is about to get the shock of his life. He’s got a half sister that he doesn’t know about. Will he be able to do what they want him to do? The quote I chose for Luc is: “Get John on the phone and make sure the interior designer starts updating this floor first. I want those cubicles gone. And find out more about the executive assistant I have. I discovered early this morning that they didn’t disclose Edward’s assistant was on maternity leave and a temp has been working here for three weeks.”
Collateral Damage: A Second Chance Mafia Romance (Mafia Elite #6)
Another fantastic read by the author. Collateral Damage is the sixth book in the Mafia Elite Series. This time it’s Trey’s turn. Only this time she might not die.
Trey might just be getting his second chance at love. Hailey has done nothing wrong and she tugs at his heart. Will Trey be able to save her in time? The quote I chose for Trey is: “Be careful how you talk to me, Allen. You won’t like the repercussions. Make it happen with the board, and I’ll see what I can do about your daughter.”
Hailey goes to meet her dad, only she doesn’t call Allen her dad. She falls for Trey but can’t let it be known as she doesn’t want to get her heart broken. The quote I chose for Hayley is: “So you took on his crisis rather than tell him to shove it? He could have gone to the cops. I don’t understand why you got involved. It seems like this is more of a headache for you.”
Rivals: An Enemies to Lovers Mafia Romance (Mafia Elite #7)
This isn’t the first book I’ve read by the author. So far every single book is amazing in its own way. This book tops them all though. This is the seventh book in the Mafia Elite Series. I really can’t choose my favorite book.
Mia comes from a different side of the mafia. She isn’t sure where to fit in only to find her love in the La Rosa family. She finds that her father isn’t really her father. The quote I chose for Mia is: “I’ve only been here, Chicago, and Grand Cayman. I’m not sure where I would want to go. Maybe Italy? It’s hard to believe I’ve never been there, being Mafia and all.”
Nico was engaged and then stuff happened. Now he’s trying to figure out where to go from here. He meets Mia and knows that he’s got to have her. Then stuff went down and now they’re putting their lives on hold. The quote I chose for Nico is: “My sister urged me to purchase property here even if I wasn’t ready to build. That’s ours. We can build a house whenever you want.”

I have been a fan of this captivating series since the first book installment in the series. Each one, I swear just keeps getting better and better! I can never put these books down, and this one so far is my favorite!
Loved this one and all the suspense it held. Greatly liked Jude, and how much his sister meant to him. Sienna was awesome too! She saw something in Jude that he could not even see himself. I loved how much they grew to care for one another, as well as relied on each other. Not just for safety, but for comfort and trust. I was very mesmerized by their story. The moments they shared, stuck with me, and I could not let go. The series captivates me and every book amazes me more and more! Loved this book installment!
Amazing series by an author that knows how to write a perfect book, literally. I highly recommend this book, author and series! All are a must read for sure! The series and this book are impossible to put down!

Excellent! Such a different take on the paranormal world, and I am addicted! It is nice to see that different paranormal beings can live together in harmony, except when a specific nasty woman gets jealous and wants a fight. Ommily is so naive to the world she truly belongs to and it is good to see her finally surrounded by her own people. Her and Link have an instant connection due to them being the last two fae, and it seems they are destined to be together. Watching their journey to each other and Ommily coming into her own as a fae in her new world is a fun ride. Them fighting in the gauntlet, and using their powers together and seeing how they work together is a great scene. I can’t wait to see what comes next for this pair.

This was a collection of cozy mysteries that literally was to die for! I absolutely fell in love with every mystery that unfolded right before my eyes! Ruby was a wonderful heroine!
I loved how each one was surrounding a cozy mystery around a theater and production. Ruby was a great character to relate to, larger than life outlook, and she was real as one can get. I enjoyed her insight and her quest for the truth. I found these books lovely, full of a good time, and funny at moments as well. I loved how Ruby was perfectly imperfect, and was in fact, human. I read these books. and laughed, gasped, smiled, you name it! So much to enjoy! I could not have asked for a better time! Loved this box set!
Wonderful author that really captivated me in every single book in this collection. I highly recommend these books in the box set as well as author! Must read for sure! Join Ruby and solve the mysteries!
I thoroughly enjoyed this heartwarming, slow burn friends to lovers romance, and was fully engaged in the story throughout. The main characters, Wil and El are so likeable and relatable, and their chemistry really comes across in the narrative. El loves music but is escaping from her famous rockstar step-father’s shadow, and also the paparazzi. In order to sing her melodies, El wears a disguise and sings at a bar off campus and it’s here that she meets Wil. As the pair sing together on stage their connection is instant and it only grows stronger off stage too. However, El is not the only ones with secrets and Wil, who’s in the States on a scholarship also has a rather big secret of his own. El and Wil just blend together, but they will either have it all or lose their hearts. The storyline flows well and the plot kept me happily turning the pages late into the night! El and Wil are so well defined that I felt like they were old friends and I loved how their relationship changed and grew over time. An enjoyable and engaging read, which I definitely recommend, and I’m looking forward to the next book in the series.

Moby is a little girl who wants to excel in school but also has trouble in school. She sometimes gets made fun of and prefers to sit in the back of class to not draw attention to herself.
A day before her birthday, Moby’s Dad has to leave again because he is a Marine. She can’t open the gift until the next day. When she does open up, she sees a flute and she loves it.
Unfortunately, no matter how many times Moby blows into the flute, it does not make any sound. So she gives up.
A year later, on her next birthday, Moby is excited to receive a gift from her day. The special day passes and no presents from her dad arrives. This causes her to look for the flute.
Still doesn’t make a sound. She looks into the flute and notices a note from her dad in it. She tried again and this time, she can make sound with the flute.
Because of her attempting to try again, she was able to play the flute. She applies this to school work.
This was such a cute story. I loved learning about Moby and the important lesson here about putting in hard work and effort. It really is an important lesson for kids

Émilien Elasalor concentrates on his brother and sister in law’s disappearance, knowing that he probably won’t be able to lift the curse so he can be with his wife, Hel.
This is a story about an Elf who has been cursed to have the body of werewolf? Sign me up cause I would have never thought of that.
The two finds themselves at odds when they have to work together.
I really enjoyed this novel, it was really captivating even though I didn’t read the first novel, I wasn’t confused at all. The writing style I really liked to. It didn’t take me long to be engrossed in the story.
I didn’t see anything online about a third novel but I would love to read about Émilien and this world.

This book is all about second chances. It was a good read!!
Damian is an undercover FBI agent in the mafia. Damian no longer exists, on paper anyways. That’s never really bothered him even though he loses a little of his soul every time he has to do any job he has no choice but to do. Damian ends up in Texas for another job and runs into the last person he expected to see after so long. Evelyn pushed passed all the hurt and betrayal to move on with her life. Damian left her and that was all there was to it. These two have had their own struggles. Will they be able to reconnect and move past the hurt? Or is there too much history and now too much danger for these two to make it work?
There is a lot of chemistry between these two and you can’t help but root for them. There were so many emotions evoked with this book. I couldn’t put it down!

Ray – Review by Angelina Frazzini
With a name like Sin, I went into this thinking it had to have some steam. I have to say that I LOVED this story. Some fantasy, romance, drama, mystery, suspense, etc. make for an intriguing tale that you just cannot miss. I had to finish this in 2 sittings (I had to feed my child). I found myself wanting to know what was going to happen next. Sin gets herself in some deep things. Being able to see past the glamour is pretty important in this world (or Terra) as its called. Finding out about the Hidden and having to work with one was a surprise and then things got hot from there. What a fantastic book! Another new author and I hope to read more from this author.

The Sound of Murder The West Side Murder Little Shop of Murder
Oh my goodness, Ruby finds herself in mixed in up in trouble again. The author does a fantastic job with this boxed trio of cozy murders set amongst a musical theater troupe. Ruby and her buddy, Nova, find themselves solving murders around famous musical plays. The stories are quite entertaining. They will have you rolling in laughter. You will probably even find yourself humming Ruby’s “clue songs” to the tune of songs from the play. I do love the stories because they are clean and wholesome. This is always a nice change for me. It is sooo very refreshing. The tone is light; yet, the mystery is always serious. The characters, both supporting and main, are well-developed and relatable. West Side Murder was my favorite as the main story involves a senior living community at odds. It was just like the plot of West Side Story. These were seniors with attitude. Loved everything about it. On top of it, she had to deal with a new boyfriend and whether or not she wanted a long distance relationship and a colleague out to get her (still waiting to see how that one will end up). This is quite the entertaining, exciting, and humorous set. I do believe that you must read this set. You’ll have a great time reading it and trying to figure out who did it. It’s not that easy to figure out. The author did a bang-up job hiding the killer. Jump in and solve the mysteries.
Borrowed Time is a sci fi tale that takes you on a journey through time. I usually don’t look at covers, blurbs etc but this cover caught my eye and had my imagination going. Lane incorporates the time machine from the classic 1960’s movie The Time Machine bringing about his original take on time travel and new adventures. You can tell where his passion lies.
In this book we see present day characters duelling it out with outlaws in an old western saloon. I immediately pictured cowboy hats, swaggering with the spurs on their boots, guns blazing, a table or two being tipped over with cards and tokens and chips falling to the floor.
The story is intriguing and interesting and will keep you interested till the end.
Everyone is at odds on where the team should travel and what to do. Who will be the one to get what they want? How will what they do affect the here and now?

Once again the Gave Digger Academy is full of adventure and shenanigans.
It’s Makayla’s second year attending the Grave Diggers Academy and they need participants for the inter-academy games. Win or lose, they are in for more than expected!
I thoroughly enjoyed being back in this world! The magic just keeps getting better and the school setting is fun and full of excitement. We see more of Makayla’s family and I’m falling for the different characters all over again!

I was so excited to see that Via has another series just waiting for me to devour. I have high expectations and Via ticks each and every box.
Boss’s Vendetta is another fantastic read from this very talented author and a great start to another of her fabulous series. With so many families already having their stories told this one is more of the Larussio Mafia family.
The story is delightfully gritty and dark with hot and sexy alpha men. This enemy to lovers is sizzling to the point of needing a shower. The magic has been woven in this story where there is loyalty and passion, drama and secrets, fear and pain, love and lies. The suspense and intrigue are palpable. There is conflict with some of the most powerful and dangerous men in the world.
He has lost all decency and is looking for revenge but there is one thing that could bring him to his knees. Will it be his salvation or ruin?

This was an interesting read. The author is new to me so I wasn’t sure what to expect but was very pleasantly surprised. I loved the whole concept of time travel and the authors attention to history detail really made this story come alive for me.
I also like how the author shows the story from two different peoples perspectives. We have the teacher who wants to travel back in time to stop a love affair he had from ending in heartbreak. That is his main reason for creating the time machine and that’s all he cares about. The student on the other hand has a more worth cause. He wants to travel back in time to stop the killing of the Indigenous people. But what effects will their time travel have on the current time? This book is a interesting read, full of adventure and historical knowledge. It is also a good example of how different people would treat a time machine in different ways, some for their own ends and others to help people in need.
I really enjoyed this book and getting caught up in their journeys.

This book was one that was so hard to put down. The chapters were well written and flowed. Every time I got to the end of one of the chapters, I had to remind myself I had things I needed to do and had to stop reading. The writer wasted no time to get into the juicy crime that followed the whole book. It had me rooting for the heroine right off the bat and continued as she became stronger and more confident in herself until the very last page.

Can Ruby solve the mystery of what happened to Mother Abbess in their production of The Sound of Music? Would someone actually murder a woman who was in town to play a NUN?!
Ruby intends to climb every mountain on her quest to bring the murderer to justice…or else it might be so long, farewell for our favorite chorus girl!

Enter Ruby and The Melody Street Players, in town to perform West Side Story at the local theater. Ruby’s grandparents are divided over whether or not Ruby should investigate the decade-old murder. And her grandparents aren’t the only ones divided in West Vista del Boca. Two rival factions are battling for control of the community council.

Henry, Margaret’s nephew and the groom’s younger brother, is dating a rather mysterious and elusive woman. Margaret is convinced he’s gotten himself in over his head. Ruby can’t help but think of Seymour in Little Shop of Horrors, the naive flower shop employee who buys a very strange plant that should have come with a warning label.
When Ruby finds out Henry’s mysterious girlfriend’s name is Audrey Tooe, she’s quite alarmed. In the musical, Seymour names his alien plant Audrey II. Since every new show seems to coincide with a murder, Ruby fears the horror on stage might suddenly spill over into real life…
