Elemental Fire (The Hidden Realms #1)Elemental Fire by E.G. Manetti
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This was my first time reading anything by EG Manetti, and this book is their first time writing fantasy! While the author’s scifi background is definitely noticeable, they did great creating a fantasy story. I appreciate the more thorough descriptions of the characters’ thought processes , though I would have liked for them to have more personality. The romance between Sin & Rad is a little awkward in the beginning because they don’t really flirt or talk about anything other than work. There are a few flirty moments & a few spicy moments farther in that are great, I just would have liked more of them to really feel the love & buildup. For me it ended up being more of an acceptance that they’re together than a ship. They’re still cute! Sin is great on her own & Rad is great on his own. One of the villains, Aisha, is fantastic & I would have been happy with her being the main one. She was very well written. The main villain didn’t really appear long enough to feel much about them, but they were enough of a jerk to fit. The storyline is interesting & enjoyable with a couple twists that definitely made things better. There were a lot of pop culture references, which was nice, & a few were funny rather than just informational. I also appreciated that there’s enough of a set up for a 2nd book to be interested in reading that one too, without having a cliffhanger. All in all, this was a pretty good book & I would read the rest of the series as well as other work by EG Manetti.

Devlin is Eve’s partner at work. They work on toy ideas together and they make a great team. Their witty quips and flirtatious comments have always just been how they function together, but now that they are both available at the same time, Devlin makes his move. Eve sees Devlin for what he is, a flirt and a ladies man. She’s not looking to start another relationship after hers just ended. However, Devlin has different ideas for Eve, plans to say the least. Can he change for her? And how can he convince her that he can? Loved this book! Amazing! So fun to read! This book is hot, witty, and extremely entertaining! You will be smiling and fawning over Devlin and Eve the entire time! This book is worth it. I can’t wait to re-read it again!

Good Gravy! I enjoyed this one from beginning to end. Devlin and Evelyn are a match made in heaven. Their chemistry right from the beginning is off the charts, and the ‘forbidden workplace’ aspect makes it so much juicer!

There’s twists and unexpected events, the entire time you feel like you need more. I read this one at work, only in one single shift. This book keeps you wanting more and it just keeps on giving!

I adored Eve and Dev’s banter, the tension, and their inevitability.

I absolutely cannot wait to have you read this one.

I enjoyed reading this forbidden romance story. This is a newer author for me which I enjoyed her writing style and her attention to details that made the story realistic. This is a well written story that has characters that pulled me into the story from the start. They are connectable, strong and keep the story engaging. A past faced romance story that is hard to put down. I enjoyed the chemistry and the growth of the characters. What will happen when a one night stand becomes more than either one ever thought? This is an easy and entertaining story to read and fill my afternoon with steam. I highly recommend this book.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

If you are looking for a fast paced, action packed, sci-fi thriller then pick this one up.

The Intruders by Brett McKay follows the story of Dex, a car salesman who who notices a strange man outside of his dealership. He shrugs it off, goes home to his family and then….everything changes. Dex and his family are abducted and tortured for information he doesn’t have. Can Dex save himself and his family? Is this entire horrifying situation more than what it seems?

This book is different then my usual psychological thriller reads yet it was quite enjoyable. It was fast paced, easy to read and action packed. Every chapter was almost like an episode to a action series. So grab this novel if you want something to keep your attention while exploring some sci-fi.

Happy Reading

Chevalier: War Horses Book 1 by Scott Warren – Review by Roxsanne Lesieur.

War Horses Book 1: ChevalierWar Horses Book 1: Chevalier by Scott Warren
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Rande VanDelle or “Vandal” as he is more commonly known is a mechanic for the upright tanks in the Chevaliers Private Cavalry and has been for eight years and because of this, he is one of the sought out veteran mechanics there is. He manages to keep the old girls running despite the best efforts of the enemy fire they see off, but like every mechanic, he always has a favourite.

One night, after finishing routine maintenance on one of the oldest uprights in the section, Vandal asks to take it out on a routine patrol a bit earlier than planned as he really wants to test it out, after much humming and hawing, they eventually let him. He puts the machine through its paces in a way that not many other mechanics can and manages to go a bit further than planned, but he then picks up a threat message on his sensors.

Not sure what to do, he reports in, but when he hears nothing back, he starts to go in the offensive so that he can try and make his way back to the barracks and help. He is not combat or pilot trained in the slightest, but he still manages to fight his way out of a life threatening situation and just about keeps his head attached in the process, albeit with some sensory overload when the call comes in to evacuate, he is helped into the transport taking them away from the battlefield.

It is when he is called upon by his superior that he thinks it is the end of his career, but instead he is given a choice, he can continue with the maintenance team and love on until his superiors grace runs out, or he can train to be a pilot and hone his skills, which he showed during the confrontation. The problem is he never really wanted to be a pilot, but he agrees to the promotion and trains hard until he is called up.

Will Vandal be able to control his designated upright tank after only a short training period against an enemy who as well as turncoats and rebels, is harbouring an elite fighting force in support of them? This is a sci-fi set in a world which could be the future of our own where old technology is pitted against new in a war of attrition with a reluctant hero at the centre of it all, in this story which will leave you on tenterhooks throughout, as military teams engage in deadly confrontations, as civilians hide away.
