This was so much more than I thought it would be. Sky is an angel who seems to find trouble. All accidental of course. His job to collect souls is one he struggles with. We meet Caleb aka Mr. Lavender Fields. They have an unbreakable connection. That is until Caleb get his mind erased.
This story was fun and creative. I loved learning about Sky’s job and what he had to do. Calebs sister, Joan, was witty smart and a wonderful addition to the story.
I loved the insta-connection that Caleb and Sky had. I seemed to be able to feel it coming through the pages. I was hesitant to read this because of the material. I am glad I did. It was so much more. This is a well written story with lovable characters.

I truthfully was unsure what I was going to find when I got this book in my hands. However I am a fan of Reis’ work and suspected this book would be no different.
I was right.
These characters found their way into my heart and wouldn’t let go. I was unprepared with how emotionally attached I found myself to the main characters.
Reis continues to do a wonderful job establishing relatable characters with an emotional tie that draws the reader in, regardless of whether it is a fantasy or a contemporary romance. Love this book from start to finish and highly recommend.

Elemental Fae Academy (Elemental Fae Academy Book2) by Lexi C. Foss and J.R Thorn 5 Stars
After the cliffhanger left me dangling in part one, I couldn’t wait to read this one. This book does not disappoint! It picks up exactly where the last one finishes and takes you on a roller coaster ride filled with danger, intrigue and so much passion, it will leave you breathless. This is not a stand-alone, go back and read the first part. This series is well worth it!
Exos is taken and Claire feels the loss. It is like a piece of her is missing. Titas tried to help but she needs so much more. Cyrus enters the picture and although he’s an arrogant jerk most of the time, I love him! He’s exactly what Claire needs. He becomes her rock of support and like a tsunami, threatens to destroy anyone who tries to harm her.
More characters were introduced in this novel. Each unique and complex within themselves. I loved each and every one of them for different reasons. Her chosen mates add their individual strengths to her, giving her exactly what she needs. Claire has a lot on her plate in this book. Trying to locate Exos, tentatively getting to know her other mates better and trying to stay alive. Someone is out to get her and they need to figure out who it is before it’s too late.
The development and the growth of the characters was amazing. So much happens in this novel, it will blow you away. I loved this book even more than the first. This series keeps getting better and better. I can’t wait to read part three.

Foss and J.R Thorn – Review by Anna Hirsch
What if you were the Angel of Death, collecting the souls of the recently departed- only to fall in love with one of the souls you were meant to be harvesting? Well this is exactly the dilemma faced by Angel of Death, Sky, when he meets and falls for Caleb- only to then find out that he’s the soul Sky is meant to be taking. He has a decision to make- one that will have far reaching consequences. What will he choose? What does fate have in store for these two? Is there any possibility of a future together? Will love win out in the end? Lavender Fields by Natalina Reis is a little darker, more thrilling, and more intense than I had been expecting. This really made my reading experience even better than I had been expecting. There is suspense, drama, danger, violence, action, and a wonderful M/M romance. I have read most of Ms. Reis’ books now, and loved them all- but this one is definitely one of my firm favourites! I loved every word of this fantastic story, and I can’t wait to see what Ms. Reis has in store for us in her next book!

Flower Shields (A Four Horsemen Novel Book 1) by C.A. King
5-Stars
Flower Shields (A Four Horsemen Novel Book 1) by C.A. King is an excellent fantasy romance novel. Easily worth its 5-stars. Tara and Michael are the main characters. Tara is somehow mixed up in a scenario involving a key. Michael is looking for it as well but to keep it from landing in the hands of demons. Tara is attacked by demons and is whisked away by Michael. That is when things really go crazy.
This story was easy to follow and fun to read. I loved the development and plot twist. The characters were very creative and the backstory was exciting. It was a different fictional beginning for all life. I really enjoyed this novel and hope other readers will too.

King – Review by Madison Degraffenreid
Flower Shields by C. A. King is an interesting introduction. Our heroine in this story, Tara, seems destined for anonymity. Such a plain mousey young lady doesn’t seem to make for an interesting tale. But in all good stories there is always more than meets the eye. Someone finds her very interesting. By the time our hero arrives on the scene I was quite caught up in the story. The introduction, Flower Shields, to The Four Horseman novels has been intriguing to say the least. I am certainly on board for the next one.

King – Review by Jonell Collins
Flower Shields by C.A King was a fun and great read. I would give this book a five out of five stars. I loved Tara’s character, she is down on her luck and needed something to work out. I really was rooting for her from the first page. I was interested in the back story that was presented, I really liked C.A King’s twist. I enjoy God, Demigod, Angels, and Demons paranormal stories and those characters really came off of the page for this one.

Flower Shields by C.A. King a four-star read that gets a star for each horseman. This is the first story in the Four Horseman series, and I need the rest of the series as I need to know more. I love this author as the stories are super quick to read and always pack a punch, they start on the first page and don’t let up, usually that would mean that you miss character development but it’s not the case with this author. This is definitely a paranormal fantasy read with a little romance on the side, rather than a primary romance. But the story is good, and the writing is great.

New from award-winning author, C.A. King – Meet the four horsemen: Michael, Gabrielle, Uriel and Raphael.
For centuries their sole purpose has been guarding the sealed gates to hell. Without keys, there was never any real threat. That was about to change…
For Gabrielle, protecting mankind was merely a job for which she received little credit. The vast insecurities of men altered history itself, portraying her as a masculine brute. Taking a back seat to her brothers seemed the right thing to do, but left a bitter taste in her mouth and an impenetrable barricade shielding her heart.
***********
Ryder bounced around the system from the moment both his parents were killed. Between that and run-ins with the law for crimes he never committed, it seemed the whole world was conspiring against him. Never growing attached to anyone was rule number one: a rule he’d never broken until a white-haired vixen, with blocks of ice on her shoulders, walked right into his life. Melting through those frosty layers became all that mattered, even if that meant sacrificing himself in the process.
Award winning author, C.A. King, was born and raised in Halton County. She currently resides in Brantford Ontario, Canada with her two sons.
After the loss of her loving parents and husband, Ms. King was devastated. She decided to retire from the workforce for a year or two to do some soul searching. It was during this time that writing became her passion. She found she was able to redirect her emotions through her writing and decided to publish some of her works.

King
Sky Heavensent, an angel of death, is charged with the collection of souls of the recently departed. Known to his peers and immediate supervisor, the archangel Gabriel, as the liability, Sky puts his heart and soul into everything he does.
When he meets Caleb Pierce, Sky is immediately smitten. The problem is Caleb is the soul he came to earth to harvest, and saving him means breaking one of the most sacred angelic directives.
Already in too deep, Sky pushes aside the consequences and follows his heart. Danger and mayhem follow, but he will do everything in his power to protect his lavender-eyed man.
Natalina wrote her first romance at the age of thirteen. Since then she has published ten romances that defy the boundaries of her genre. She enjoys writing all kinds of rebels and outcasts into her stories and she always roots for the underdog.
Natalina doesn’t believe you can have too many books or too much coffee. Art and dance make her happy and she is pretty sure she could survive on lobster and bananas alone. When she is not writing or stressing over lesson plans, she shares her life with her husband and two adult sons.

This book has it all. Gods, Demons, major conflict, and love. The initial story of the four horsemen, Uri, Gabby, Raphael, and Michael starts out with a bang. This story focused on Michael and Tara and it was good. Watching them fall in love, having to overcome the many problems was a joy, I love happy endings. I look forward to the future novels and each of the other horsemen find their love as well.

The Time Traveler’s Magic by Anna Applegate is the first book in the Magic Bound Saga. Ember Brighton has been pushed into another time and must figure out what to do and why this has happened. This is a great time traveling fantasy with supernatural/paranormal elements. This is a fun read that kept me wanting more. I enjoyed the characters and the story. I also enjoyed there were plenty of mysteries that Ember was trying to unravel. I look forward to the next book in this series and reading more from Anna Applegate in the future.

The Time Traveler’s Magic by Anna Applegate was truly a captivating read. I would give this book a four out of five stars. I loved how the book started, it really did a great job of building the world and Ember’s character. A lot of mysteries start to pile on and as the reader you find yourself asking the same questions that Ember does. I really struggled to put this book down because of my curiosity surrounding Ember, Rane, and the whole situation we find ourselves in. I cannot wait for the next book in the series.

I give The Time Traveler’s Magic (Book 1 of the Magic Bound Saga) by Anna Applegate, 5 stars.
Ember is struggling with life. Her job as a waitress does not pay much, but she needs to do what she can ever since her mom has been in the hospital. Then she gets a call she dreads, her mom is now in a coma. Her life feels like it’s falling apart. Oh and the best part? She hears voices, mainly coming from the stock room of her work on a ship that has been converted into a restaurant. Not to mention that it feels like some one is always watching her.
After an incident at work, she ends up thrust into the care of a sexy man dressed as a pirate on a ship in the middle of the ocean. What is going on? Is she imagining it? To find out what is happening and maybe fix her mother, she will have to accept what is her new reality and trust people she has just met. Can she do it?
Ok, first off, I will admit something — I never really understood the popularity of the time travel genre. I wasn’t interested in it before, but this book caught my attention and I thought I would give it a try. Oh my god!!! I was blown away!!! The author wastes no time throwing us into it. Many books take a while for the character buildup, not getting into the action until a quarter to halfway through. Nope, not this author. It doesn’t take long at all before you are on the ride of adventure and action. But this doesn’t mean the characters are lacking either. You really understand where Ember is coming from and I feel for her so much. I felt like I was in her shoes, which is the best compliment I can give. The story is different from those I’ve read before. I especially liked how we have not only time travel, but supernatural creatures too. That adds another layer of depth to this wonderful book. I could not put the book down and cannot wait to read the next book!
If you are a fan of time travel and/or paranormal books, I highly recommend this book.

Elemental Fae Academy (Elemental Fae Academy Book 1) by Lexi C. Foss and J.R Thorn 5 Stars
I have read many books by Lexi C. Foss and loved them all. After reading this book, I know this will be another series that I will adore. I fell in love with these characters: Titas ( the scorchingly hot Fire Fae), Exos (the arrogantly all powerful Spirit Fae) and Claire ( the beautiful and fated). This reverse harem starts out as a small ember that quickly ignites to an all consuming blaze. You will definitely need a cold shower after some of these steamy scenes.
Although the chemistry between the characters is palpable and the sex scenes exciting, there is more to this book. Claire’s powers awaken on her twenty first birthday and Exos whisks her away to the Fae Realm to be her mentor. With her not knowing that she is half fae and her powers out of control, Claire is too dangerous to remain in the human realm. Unfortunately, most of the Fae want her dead. Claire must accept who she is, learn to control her powers and find out who is framing her for causing chaos before she gets killed.
This story had a nice twist having the fae represent the different elements instead of the usual light or dark fae. The book had me enthralled until the end. Omg, what an ending! I’m left hanging, waiting with bated breath for the next book!

The Time Travellers Magic by Anna Applegate is the first book in the Magic Bound Saga. This is an exciting story that has everything you could want. Anna Applegate is an author that I have become pretty familiar with over the past year and I have come to expect that her books are enjoyable. This one is no exception and probably has to be my favourite to date. I loved these two characters. Rane is definitely fantasy worthy!! The overall story was was paced an exciting. I found myself flying through this book simply because I couldn’t stop reading. If this is only book one then I really can’t wait to see what else is to come.

The Time Traveler’s Magic is the first book in the Magic Bound Saga.
This story is full of action that keeps you hooked. The characters are intriguing. I mean, a vampire pirate, what’s not to love!!! Writing time travel can be iffy, but this book pulls it off pretty well. Ember has a bit of personal growth to do, but then again, don’t we all. I think maybe the character flaws she has are what make her more relatable. Overall, I found the plot interesting. It made for an entertaining read. There are some things that in the book that brought up questions, but they will probably be answered in subsequent books.

Meet the four horsemen: Michael, Gabrielle, Uriel and Raphael. For centuries their job has been to guard the gates of hell, making sure they never open. Without the keys, there was never any real threat. That’s about to change. There are rumours on the horizon that demon followers unearthed scrolls that explain exactly how to find the lost keys. This new battle is a race to see which side locates them first.
Michael couldn’t care less about the love story behind how and why the world was created. In fact, nothing matters to him other than keeping the gates to hell closed. If one of the lost keys ever fell into the wrong hands, all humanity would be doomed. He’s not going to let that happen – at any cost.
*************************
Tara’s life is nothing short of a disaster. She’s managed to flunk out of college with about the same amount of dignity as every relationship she’s been in. The only constant in her life has been her love for flowers. When she’s attacked at work, a stranger comes to her aid. Michael might be good-looking, but he’s also arrogant, bossy and crazy. He’s also her only chance to figure out who attacked her and why. Should she follow her heart and trust him – or listen to her head and run?

The Time Traveler’s Magic is Book One is the Magic Bound series by Anna Applegate. I really enjoyed Ms. Applegate’s Ariya Adams series, so there was no question of if I was going to read this book. I just snapped up a copy, and dove in to see what the story was all about. This really is a wonderful paranormal romance- with time travel, action, adventure, vampires, shifters, pirates, magic, drama, mystery, and more. There are so many fantastic, original, and surprising details in this story- I was hooked right from the first chapter. I will definitely be reading the rest of the series to find out what happens- especially after the way this book ended. The characters are well developed- with their own personalities, quirks and flaws. Ember really frustrated me, and I wanted to shake her a lot of the time. I loved Rane- he’s definitely my favourite in this book. I can’t wait to find out where this series will lead in the future instalments, and watch these characters grow and develop as the stories unfold. A great start to a new series!

This is one wild ride! It is full of action that doesn’t seem to stop. I was worried about this book because i do not read time travel stories. I gave this one a go because I have read other works by this author that have been grand. I was pleasantly surprised over that element in this book. There is also an undercurrent of attraction that helps to keep me turning pages. Will they or won’t they? *Turns page* OMG they are so close *Turns Page* That Look…That touch *Turns page* …ARRG!
That sweet romantic attraction isn’t the main story. It’s about finding out about your powers and learning to use them. Saving people and also being glad you are not paranoid hearing all those voices in your head. As well as learning there are Paranormals in this world…Oh and easily hating the MacGregor! This is chock full of many many things.
I love love love this book and read it late into the night. To say it consumed me is an understatement. Just ask my neglected family and my groggy AM brain :). This author is wickedly good at writing this suspenseful tale. The story flows so perfectly and I wasn’t bothered by the time jumps at all. The ending does have a kind of pause button and she is using that as a lead in to the next book. I am not pleased with this as this author writes well enough she doesn’t need to use those ploys to get people to read the next book. The characters were wonderful to get to know. I mean who wouldn’t want a privateer or a vampire to hang out with? Next please!

The Time Traveler’s Magic is book one in the Magic Bound series by Anna Applegate, and this paranormal romance is an AMAZING READ! Ember always feels like someone is watching her and watching her life crumble. Her parents were involved in a horrible accident and she lost her father. Learning that her mother has slipped away further, she rushes to her side. There she is confronted by someone wanting to hurt her but is luckily saved, and it then happens at work but is able to lock herself in a closet. Then comes Rane to rescue, right away Ember questions his motives, but fearing her life, she knows she needs his help. The main question is, will Ember face her destiny and will those wanting to hut her, succeed. You must read to answer that! This book was awesome to read and I was able to read it in one sitting. This book had it all from romance, time traveling, vampires, and villains! It’s a prefect mix in this five star read!

This is another of those books that the blurb sounds amazing, the cover is gorgeous, the premise of the book is one that I’ve read and enjoyed before, but there was something about it that just didn’t enthrall me like I anticipated.
It wasn’t one major thing, it was a bunch if little things that all blended together.
Having said all that…
The writing is visually appealing while being conservative in details. The characters and storyline held my interest enough that I will be reading the next book in the series. The flow of the story was linear and there was a sexy pirate.

The Time Traveler’s Magic (Magic Bound Saga Book 1) by Anna Applegate
5-Stars
The Time Traveler’s Magic (Magic Bound Saga Book 1) by Anna Applegate take readers on an excellent adventure through time. It features romance, magick, shifters, vampires, and of course time travelers. Ember is unique and after her mother enters a coma finds out there is more going on than she realized. This is especially so when she finds herself in the past with Rane. This story was easy to follow and difficult for me to put down. I loved every bit of it! The characters were excellent and developed well. It was also easy for me to visualize the different time periods Ember visited. I can’t wait for book two in this series to come out. I highly recommend this novel!

The Time Traveller’s Magic (Book 1 of the Magic Bound Saga) by Anna Applegate is a fantasy story that I really enjoyed reading. There is magic and shifters and vampires and pirates and plenty of action to keep you interested and engaged. It is a different and original concept and was really well written. Anna has woven several genres to make it a magical and exciting read.
Ember is a time traveller but has no recollection of it and fears she maybe going insane. As her mother becomes ill she must learn what she is to be able to save her and stop the evil that is threatening the events of time. Ember is a strong woman but at times she drove me absolutely insane because she would not do as she was told. Having said that though I loved the way it played havoc with Rane.
Rane is a pirate and has a nemesis that is making his and everyone else’s lives tougher but not just in his time, he is causing havoc across the centuries as well. Rane is my favourite character, I fell in love with him. When a mysterious woman once again pops up on his ship he tries to make her see reason and do as she is told but he swears that she will be the death of him. I enjoyed their interaction and loved reading Ranes’ thoughts as the story is told in different POV’s. The interactions between Rane and Ember are full of lust and tension, sizzling heat and an unknown draw which neither understand.
I really enjoyed this first book to the series and am anxiously awaiting reading the rest of the series. BUT WTF! Renee come on a cliff hanger! I swear I cursed up a storm just like the pirates in the story.

I enjoyed this book. I highly recommend reading the prequel first to help understand where this one is starting from as this picks up where the previous left off. I enjoyed being pulled into the story from the beginning. Ember is a great character. She has a long road ahead of her with learning her powers but she is strong. I enjoy watching her grow throughout this series. Her story has a little bit of everything from time travel to vampires to sexy pirates. I highly recommend this book.

The Time Traveler’s Magic (Magic Bound Saga Book 1) By: Anna Applegate 5 out of 5 stars
The story The Time Traveler’s Magic (Magic Bound Saga Book 1) by Anna Applegate is a paranormal romance/fantasy book. It is a story that I loved reading and found myself getting lost in the pages. I enjoyed reading about the characters of Ember Brighton and Rane Andersson. Ember is a young woman who is intelligent, strong, and stubborn. She finds herself with a crumbling life and then with those she loves in danger. It is then that she meets Rane. Rane is a man that feels an attraction and pull towards Ember. She haunts his very thoughts. She finds that she must trust him. Will she be able to save the ones she loves and fix the balance of time itself? Will Rane be able to help her? What does the future hold for Rane and Ember? Read this book to find out. This is a story that has Ember with more questions than answers. Will she find the answers that she seeks? This is a book that includes action, danger, magic, vampires, and shifters. If you love the paranormal like I do you will find yourself unable to pull yourself away from the story until the very end. I grew to care about Ember with every chapter that I read, and I wanted her to succeed and be happy. I also enjoyed reading about the secondary characters that are introduced in the story and who interact with Rane and Ember. This is a book I would highly recommend reading.

Someone is watching her from the shadows. And stopping him could change history.
A stranger thrusts Ember Brighton into another time, where she learns her crumbling life has a greater purpose. Pursuing this new life, however, will leave her loved ones in danger until she realizes who she is and what she’s capable of. If she fails to work quickly enough, her mother’s deadly fate will be sealed.
When the confident and mysterious Rane Andersson shows up at all the right moments to help, Ember can’t help but distrust his motives. Without him, though, she’s left with more questions than answers, and more people trying to kill her than she can fight off alone.
Despite her reservations, she’s forced to put her faith in him. Now Ember’s running out of time to find her way home, save her mother, and fix the balance of time itself.
Will her run-ins with rogue vampires and evil shifters prove to be more than she can overcome? Or can Ember face her destiny head on?
Fans of the Outlander and A Shade of Vampire series will be hooked on the newest time traveling, paranormal romance saga!

ETERNITY is is the final book in the series and I think it should be read in order as each book picks up where the last one ended.
The entire Captivity Series flows quickly from the beginning to end. It moves quickly with the continuing threads being highlighted through each. The series is well plotted and entertaining.

Eternity is the third and concluding instalment in the Captivity series by Molly Zenk and Sarah Biglow. It is a really well developed, imaginative, and intriguing paranormal romance/urban fantasy- with shapeshifters, action, adventure, danger, drama, some dystopian elements, choices, and more obstacles. I really recommend reading the first two books before starting on this one, because the story continues from one book into the next- so you really need to know all the important information, character details, and storyline that’s contained in the first two instalments- in order to fully appreciated this book. It isn’t a very long book, which makes this a very quick and easy read. But even though the books are short, there is quite a lot that happens in the small space- lots of revelations are made, with action packed adventure, and our characters go through a lot in the process. The story picks up where book two left off. Finding Sanctuary should have been the end of their saga- but our characters soon learn that there is a new threat which places ALL shifters in danger. They are once more drawn into a life and death situation. This high stakes final show down kept me avidly reading to discover how everything plays out in the end. Their relationships, and skills, are really put to the test- with a lot riding on the outcome. Will they win out in the end? And if so, at what cost? This was a superb ending to the series! Looking forward to seeing what these two talented authors do next!
