The Cross of Ciarán (The Cross of Ciarán Book 1) by Andrea Matthews – Review by Amy Brennan

The Cross of CiaranThe Cross of Ciaran by Andrea Matthews
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

It’s like a tv series that you don’t want to start until you know you’re able to binge watch the entirety of that show. That’s what I was waiting for with this series and have been not so patiently waiting for the day to come where I could start. I always find that the Pilot, or the first installment in a series is the hardest to get through, with all the character development, world building, and plot coming into focus, but didn’t find it difficult to become addicted to flipping the pages of this novel. This author has very clearly put her love of writing into Ciaran, Caitlin, as well as Ciaran’s newfound chosen family, and supporting characters and in checked all the boxes for me.

There’s nothing like a slow burn romance amidst a fifteen hundred year old Celt that is keeping a heavily guarded secret, Priests that want nothing more than to please the higher power that they believe in but also do what’s right for who they care and love, and the mystery of the past, that will surely become more apparent as the series progresses. I thought to myself, okay, I’ll set aside an hour or two a night to read, which then turned into several hours the past few days, and here we are, swiftly moving onto The Book of Carraig. Once this is all done, I look forward to exploring more of her work, highly recommend!

Romance under Aquarius: Stargazing Series #1 by Danielle Jacks

This is not the first book I’ve read by the author. Romance under Aquarius is a fantastic read and will leave you wanting more. This is the first book in the Stargazing Series. There were four main characters, but two that stuck out the most.

Maris is a merperson and can’t wait to get married. Her best friend is concerned about her doing an arranged marriage, but it’s what her family had planned for her. She then catches her best friend and future husband in bed together. The quote I chose for Maris is: “Don’t feel bad for me. Ryn seems like a nice merman.”

Kasper will do anything to save his brother. Including finding a merperson to help him out. He doesn’t want to trust her, but it becomes inevitable once he gets to know her. He wants to pursue a relationship with her, but isn’t sure where to start. The quote I chose for Kasper is: “Fine. Yes. I’m jealous . Are you happy now?”

Highly recommended for Paranormal Romance lovers.

Captivated (Hybrid Lovers #1) by Toya Richardson

This isn’t the first book I’ve read by the author. Captivated is the first book in the Hybrid Lovers Series. The author has outdone themselves by writing this book.

Angelina finds that going on a blind date can end well. She not only gets one true love, but two true loves. They’re not exactly human like she is. The quote I chose for Angelina is: “You might be right, but I’m not going to settle for any guy just so I can say I’m in a relationship.”

Salvatore is Luca’s twin brother. He’s not human and he isn’t exactly one part of something. He’s part-vampire part-Angel and he’s a hybrid. He has been waiting for his mate for a long time. The quote I chose for Salvatore is: “This is it, Luca. It’s our woman. It’s far too compelling to be anything else but her.”

Luca is the twin brother to Salvatore. He is also a hybrid. He is excited that he and his brother are getting their mate. The quote I chose for Luca is: “Maybe it’s different because there are now three in this relationship, Sal. We are the only twins in vampire or angel history, at least for a very long time. The last twins were killed many centuries ago.”

Highly recommended for Paranormal Romance lovers.

Ciarán Donnelly is ready to leave his past behind and concentrate on his new life, but his past may not be finished with him. His dreams have returned with a vengeance, and this time they’re telling him Ruadhán, the long-dead priest who entombed him fifteen hundred years before, is threatening to kidnap his unborn twins. Of course, his dream interpretation leaves a lot to be desired, especially when it comes to those he loves.

As if the dreams are not bad enough, his anxiety over them is causing stress on his new marriage, which is the last thing Caitlin needs in her current condition. The twins are on the way, and everyone advises him the dreams stem from his own insecurities over becoming a father. After all, Ruadhán was the chief priest, a member of the high council, loyal to his goddess unto death. What are the chances he suffered the same fate as Ciarán and survived fifteen centuries?

The theory sounds reasonable, and he’s happy to accept it, until Aodhán comes across an empty tomb in the Hills of ár Sinsear that looks as though it may have been occupied at some point. Could Ruadhán have survived after all? And if so, where is he now? To complicate the issue, Aodhán stumbles across another piece of information that could alter the possible meaning of his brother’s dreams. But will Ciarán manage to put the pieces together before it’s too late, or will he lose his family to an ancient adversary?

Captivated (Hybrid Lovers, #1)Captivated by Toya Richardson
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Angelina’s life changes in one moment. When Salvatore and Luca come into her life Angelina must decide where her future will take her. Not only does her life depend on it but all human life does.

This is an interesting take on the vampire world. It brings vampires and angels together. As the hybrids fight against demons they also search for their mate. Now that Salvatore and Lucas have found Angelina, they work to show her what they could have and what it means. While I thought the plot of this book was an interesting one, I did not connect with the characters. Although this book is not a favorite of mine the story moves at a good pace and has some interesting supporting characters.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

5/5 Stars

Beelzebub: The Gift of Gluttony (A Sinful Seven Novel) by JC Brown & L. Lane

Beelzebub is the Demon of Gluttony. He gets in trouble by Michael when taking in hosts. He’s told not to do so again and then he sets his sights on Clara. A human and he’s not going to give her up. The quote I chose for Beelzebub is: “I can help you to be free. Free to be yourself, to do whatever you want, whenever you want to, free from feeling judged and trying to please others. By whispering words of encouragement and strength, I can help you find your heart’s desire. By working from within, I’ll provide guidance only you will hear.”

Clara is only human and is an empath. She feels everything others feel. She runs a bakery and when Beelzebub shows up she gets the shock of her life. Can she resist the Demon? The quote I chose for Clara is: “Money is nice. The bakery is doing so much better that I’ve had to hire several people to help me keep up. I guess I have you to thank for that. See, with all the extra money we’ve been making, I’ve been able to hire people to do all those things that I hate doing, like going shopping. I just place my order, and everything is done. And I found a couple of properties, in the middle of nowhere, that I’m considering buying. I might just buy both and use them as vacation places, I guess.”

Highly recommended for Paranormal Romance lovers.

By Nikki Barrett 4 out of 5 Stars

There are so many ways to describe this book. Lingering Spirits is book 4 in the Soul Connection Series. Please go read books 1-3 in book order, you will not regret it at all. Nikki’s stories transcend the normal of human romance and expectation. The first connection of Russ and Hope had me catching my breath and the continuous back and forth between the two kept me going from page to page.

Unlock the Angel (Seraphim Angel Order #1) by Calla Zae

This isn’t the first book I’ve read by the author. I can’t wait for the next books in the series by the author. Unlock the Angel was a fantastic read.

Cathy is a normal human and living her best life. Well, as best as it can be with a dead mother and broken heart. When she meets Daedriel she senses that something is different. Will she be okay once she knows the truth? The quote I chose for Cathy is: “Of course! I’ve never seen an angel before. From the cloud movie, I know you have impressive blue wings. I only saw one set though. You said you have six wings. Show me.”

Daedriel is an Angel and is on Earth looking for a former friend. When his bird comes home and tells him about their neighbor he gets curious. Will he be able to stop the darkness from taking over? The quote I chose for Daedriel is: “We did. You unlocked me too. I was trapped in my own world until you came along. You offered me love, and that opened my heart and solidified my purpose even more. Before you, I fought for my realm. Now, I’m fighting for you. For us. Because without you, there is no light in me.”

Highly recommended for Paranormal Romance lovers.

Seed on Fire (Moore Family Saga Book 1) by Michele Sims – Review by S. Bittles

Act I: Seed On Fire (Moore Family Saga, #1)Act I: Seed On Fire by Michele Sims
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The Author gives us a romance story of early marriage obstacles, challenges and overcoming hard times individually and together as a couple.

Follow Cade and Lecia through the emotional rollercoaster as newlyweds and as new parents. The Author will have you feeling every bit of emotion with them as they face love, hardship, sacrifice, loss and forgiveness.

This book is a fast paced read, but also very smooth flowing. Such a beautiful love story filled with lovable characters, who have relatable struggles and at times, unpredictable fears around starting a family. Strong family bonds is the foundation of this saga.

This is my first read by this author and
I look forward to reading the next books in this saga. I think I’m going to want these books on my shelf!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Continue following Miles and Bella as they face high emotional stakes of running a company as business partners while demands of marriage and family ensue. Miles is now facing the same relatable struggles of career vs family that we followed Cade through in Book 2.

The Author gives us yet another twist and a fast paced engaging read. Deep rooted family bonds and trust are the foundations to this saga as we follow our characters on their journey of love, passion, betrayal and suspense.

Can be read as a stand-alone but highly recommend reading this saga in order, especially the last two books where Miles and Bella’s story begins.

This book is even better than the last, I definitely want physical copies of this whole saga on my shelf!!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Continue following Miles and Bella as they begin their own journey of being newlyweds and new parents. Share every emotion with them as they overcome hard times that test their foundation of love they have built.

The Author continues to give a fast paced engaging read as we follow the constant turmoil of the unexpected things in life and the fears of being newlyweds and starting a family. Love, passion, drama, fear and insecurities make this a true romance novel.

We are introduced to a whole new family of characters to learn about and love. The basis of strong family bonds is still the foundation to these books, but Miles and Bella grow new foundations of trust and vulnerability.

I recommend reading these books in their intended order, so you have a full appreciation of where the characters are now in their lives.

The Author has really hit their stride with these last two books, I could not put it down! I dare to say I love Bella and Miles more!! I am looking forward to the next in this saga.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

We are given a new plot in this saga as we follow the life of Cade and Lecia’s son Miles, who is now an adult and is in the spotlight of fame and money.

We are introduced to new characters that yet again bring more out of the storyline. The Author gives us another fast paced adventure that is still based on the foundation of strong family ties.

The Author writes so vividly and really gives you an idea of the struggles that can come with fame and money. We are taken on a thrilling, suspenseful and steamy romance of a ride, while our characters learn what it means to earn and have someone’s trust.

This book can be read as a stand alone but you will enjoy it better if you have read the first two books, this is my favourite book in the saga so far!

Oof!!! My mind is absolutely blown!!! From the start I thought the author under played the suspenseful plot and the paranormal bent but with book two came back with a bang. Now book three is absolutely mind blowing!! The paranormal is kinda more in the undertones of this part of the tale, but once again family plays a heavy part of the plot.
Ari (Miles) is a superstar and has met his match but Bella finds his fascination with Fire a little frightening. She is both intrigued and repulsed. Will we get an HEA? I am not gonna tell you, you will have to read it to find out! You won’t be disappointed!!

This book is well written and includes a little bit of everything. It is all at once suspenseful, romantic and paranormal. Family is the overall theme and plays heavily in this tale. Overall I enjoyed this story immensely and can’t wait for book three.

This was my first read by this author. I found that this story had several plot and character details that were either missing or ambiguous. That said it was a pretty good read. I think some of the tale is engaging and well developed. I enjoyed the suspenseful moments and found the family dynamics believable. I am hopeful that the next in this series will fill in some of the plot gaps.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is the second book in the series. I loved it! It’s fast paced. You learn so much about all of the characters that were mentioned in the first book. There are quite a few surprises. The war between the vampires, Lycans, and hellspawn is insane. I’ve never read a book like this before. The intimate moments are decent. My only complaint is that at this point Tasha should know Levi’s feelings. The constant doubt she has kind of gets tiresome. Luckily Levi is a patient guy. Radar is still my favorite. He’s such an adorable guy. I love his technology expertise and his hobby.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I could not wait to start reading the second installment in this series, and let me tell you, this author really does not disappoint. I love when a series picks up right where it has left off, rather than skipping a few years, and that is what you can expect from this novel. She is so thorough in her world and character building that there are rarely questions left unanswered. I have to say, I am very glad that we were quickly introduced to another member of Tasha’s family, giving us more of her background and a greater appreciation for all that her family did to protect not only her, but her sister, Kimber, too. There are plenty of twists and turns to keep the reader captivated, as well as having me once again chomping at the bit to commence the third installment to see what happens next!

This series explores a few different genres, the paranormal aspect, the action and the romance has captured my attention and has certainly had me having some of the coolest, yet weirdest dream that I’ve experienced in a long time, not that I’m complaining! I highly recommend giving these novels a read, and other works by this author.

Levi and Tasha are back, and their story is as well written as before. My one complaint is that Tasha seems to have to tone herself down because she relies so strongly on Levi, but partnership always has some give and take. This is a paranormal romance unlike others I have read, and book 1 to book 2 is well carried over. A new level is added to the story in this book, but it doesn’t leave past issues forgotten. Looking forward to some solved mysteries in book 3, and finding out if love continues to win between 2 different species.

This book was so good, it really delves into the young boy that Miles has become. Cade and Lecia face some difficulties in their marriage that they need to find a way to work through. Miles is sweet and means well but he is more than a handful and juggling that along with a career and trying to keep their relationship strong is quite a strain for them. There is just as much action and suspense as in the first book in this series, as well as emphasizing the importance of family and working together as a team. I can’t wait to read more about this amazing family and see what happens with Miles next. This is such a good series I definitely recommend starting with the first book if you haven’t read it yet because it will give much needed background info on all of the key players.
