Jocelyn, Cameron & Reed meet while young in their dreams, not knowing if the others were real or not. Several years later they learn the truth and they know without a doubt they are soul mates.
Jocelyn was such a young lady when they first met and she dealt with a devastating loss, but her boys were always there foe her, until they weren’t.
Cameron and Reed grew up together and are family, they were always close but neither expected to be as close as they end up being.
The small details in the book really help pull it all together and make it an enjoyable read. Will definitely look for more of this series.

Return to Hoodoo: A Paranormal Women’s Fiction Novel is the first book in the Boudin, Barbecue, and Hoodoo Book series. At first, I was unsure what to think about the book, but once I got further, I got sucked into Gwen’s story. This paranormal story is set in the familiar but unfamiliar Hoodoo, Texas. I enjoy Gwen’s character and how she speaks about how she has grown comfortable with herself. We all view the past differently when we look back on it, and she has a great voice while explaining where she has come from. Set in a small town, you get a mix of the comfort of home with the gossip of Gwen’s return. She left under unusual circumstances and returns under unusual circumstances as well. I can hear the town gossiping now. Now that I have delved into this series, I look forward to reading more.

I will admit I was a bit skeptical about this read. Reading the themes of romance, paranormal, fantasy mixed in with winter fun, bikers and feuds, something was telling me to just give this book a try and I’m so glad I did! Noelle and Nikolaus can’t deny their attraction although there has been a long lasting feud amongst their families. Their chemistry draws them closer to one another although Noelle has her doubts. The family feuding reminds me a bit of the Capulets and Montages of Romeo and Juliet. They are cautious with the other members when around one another and can be quite confrontational when things seem out of place. Her cousins and grandfathers are the ones opposed to her growing closer to Nikolaus but the female figures in her life seem to be motivating her towards someone who brings out a brighter side of herself. She is torn between her emotions, family and believing the genuinity of true love. One thing I must share with other readers to give this a try is amazingly, funny one liners and the great romantic chemistry amongst the characters. Definitely worth giving this book a read!

In following suit with the first book the in series, this book follows a new set of characters that can interact with each other via their dreams. Jocelyn meets Cameron and Reed. they first meet with Jocelyn is almost 13 and the cousins are 16. Over time, and numerous dreams together, they build a strong friendship. After a tragic accident, Jocelyn pulls away from the dreams and doesn’t dream about the boys for 6 years. Only now, they are all grown up and feelings of friendship begin morphing into romantic ones. Fast forward a couple of years…Jocelyn is now a sought-after wedding photographer shooting a wedding on a cruise ship in Italy. It has been three years since she has seen the men in her dreams. Determined that she had made them up all this time, and falling in love with fictional characters seemed unrealistic, she keeps her distance. However, at the club on the ship, she finds herself face-to-face with them two men from her dream. They proceed to explore their relationship throughout the duration of the cruise. When they are back on dry land, they decide to give the relationship a real try. But there are forces set to tear them apart. However, they are going to have to band together and prove that love is strong enough…or they won’t last. This is another good book in the series. I enjoyed the dream-walking paranormal aspect. I found it hard to like Jocelyn’s character at the beginning because she seemed flighty and came off as hot-and-cold. However, she grew on me as the book progressed. I liked how the boys always had her best interest at heart…even when she wouldn’t see it that way. This is a pretty quick and easy story that I enjoyed reading.

Enemies to lovers your thing? Do you like paranormal romance? Maybe you like biker tropes? We have Noelle Frost as our leading lady and Nikolaus Klaus as our leading man. I would be lying if I said Nikolaus didn’t immediately make me go “OH HELLO KLAUS” (ya know vampire diaries…no oh well never mind). Their banters and bickers were super amusing and made me want to keep going. This is the first in a series and reading while it was snowing outside….cherry on top.

I really enjoyed this book and the narrator was perfect in capturing Gwendolyn. I’m a sucker for strong fierce women and this book did not disappoint. Gwendolyn went many years avoiding her hometown until she is called back to her family home. From the beginning things are not going well and there seems to be a black cloud that is following her after several murders begin to occur shortly after her arrival. This was a book that thoroughly showed that that not all things are as they seem. Couple with the sassiness and humor of Gwendolyn this makes for a fun read.

I really enjoyed this paranormal romance. It was a different take on the typical holiday story with two biker clans – the Frost Clan and the Klaus Clan – being at odds with one another. I wanted the read this now rather than wait months for winter to return as I absolutely love retellings with a twist, so I was hooked just reading the blurb.
I loved the fact the clans were bikers; it was unique to a winter story and added another element I love. I enjoyed the humour that the author brought in, but I can see how some parts may not be to everyone’s taste. The descriptive language used truly created vivid magical scenery which I loved stepping into to follow Noelle Frost and Nikolaus Klaus in their complicated and ‘doomed’ relationship.
I enjoyed most characters and the interactions between the two clans, but unsurprisingly Noelle and Nikolaus had the best interactions. They bounced off each other very well and their banter reminds me of how me and my loved ones can act around each other.
Overall, the writing flowed well, and the story was unique and imaginative. I was gripped throughout and am so happy I found this gem of a book. Can’t wait for the next fun instalment in the series!

Cameron Pompeo has always felt things more strongly than others, he trusts his intuition and on occasion has had inklings which are more than powerful, but he cannot control, or deal with them sometimes, the only thing which he can, is the appearance of a young girl, Jocelyn Parker who appears in his dreams and they get along better than he does with most other people. One night, his cousin Reed Pompeo turns up in his dreams as well and immediately, he can feel a connection between them, so pretty much every night, they spend time in their dreams building a deep friendship until Jocelyn is hurt in an accident which kills her mother and causes her to withdraw from them.
While Cameron and Reed try to manage without Jocelyn, she is buried under the weight of her guilt and the belief that she doesn’t deserve happiness and that the two boys from her dreams make her the happiest she can be, so she pushes them away and suffers more each day for it, but because they are only figments of her dreams, she will get over it, albeit deep down she knows that this isn’t right. In order for her to continue her self punishment, Jocelyn throws herself into existing day to day without them and continuing her life and Cameron and Reed try to do the same, but it is the hardest thing which they have ever had to do.
One day many years later, fate throws the three back together on a Mediterranean cruise where Jocelyn cannot run away and Cameron and Reed are determined to keep her close, so when they do reconnect, the passion and connection strengthens immediately, but what will happen when the cruise is over, will they be able to keep their connection strong, or will outside forces try to rip them apart? This is another steamy romance with an unconventional twist which will keep you hooked throughout as past, present and future collide to create a bond you hope will last.

Maddie Sutton, Cole Mercer and Charlie Gilbert were just children when they met for the first time, they felt an immediate connection and started to play together and spend as much time with each other as they could, they had inside jokes and shared everything about their lives with each other and as they grew up, their friendship blossomed as well, the only problem was that the only time they spent together was in their dreams.
They all grew up and over time, their friendship developed into something more, but for years, they never acted on it, thinking it was all one sided and that they would have to make Maddie choose between them, but one day all of that changed and they showed each other just how in love with each other they were, but when Maddie starts to become upset and disengage from the two young men, she tells them that she can’t continue this if they aren’t real and are just dreams, so even though she hates to do it, she leaves their shared dream in floods of tears. This leads Charlie to have his doubts as to their shared reality as well, but Cole knows for a fact that they are all three as real in the waking world, as they are in the dreaming one and sets out to finally bring them fully together.
When they finally meet in the flesh, they can no longer deny their true feelings and their bond grows deeper and they know that they will never let each other go, but Cole and Charlie discover that Maddie is in danger, they will do anything to keep her safe, no matter the cost, but will that cost be too high? This is a steamy romance with triple the action and steamy antics throughout where threats loom, but a core of hope threads throughout which pulls you along on the adventure with them.

This is a fun fast paranormal read about fated mates. It is similar to the first book in the series, with the main characters meeting and spending time together in dreams before realizing each other was real and meeting in real life. With that being the primary similarity between the books, they can both be read as standalone, though if you like one you are surely to like the other.
In this installment, cousins Cameron and Reed meet Joselyn in their dreams. Cameron, having always experienced paranormal and psychic phenomena, didn’t realize his dream girl Joselyn was real until his cousin showed up in the dreams as well. It’s then that he knows the three are meant to be a big part of each other’s lives. Despite knowing this, it’s years before the three meet in real life.
Much like the first book, I loved seeing snippets of the dreams throughout the years. This adds to the emotional factor that is mixed in with a whole lot of steam. This was a quick steamy MFM read about fated mates finding one another.

I just love to find new authors and new sereies. This book was the first from this author that I have read and I was not let down at all. I really enjoy paranormal style books and this was a great change to my usual genre. I like how the author brings the characters to life. The story line in the book really flows well as well as the characters chemistry is really explosive.
This book really has a great underlying topic and I am really glad that an author really chose to use it. I cannot wait to be able to read the next instalment in this series. I really could not put this book down and I really enjoyed it. I am on tented hooks waiting for the next one.

What would you do if the two people you’ve had a crush on since you were children turned out to be real and not a figment of your overactive imagination?
Maddie, Cole, and Charlie met in their dreams as kids and have continued to meet in their dreams as they’ve grown up. Maddie, who has always felt out of place, longs for her dreams and the two guys she thinks she made up. As the years pass, these three become great friends who tell each other everything except the fact that they like one another. It isn’t until the nightmares start that their relationship moves into the real world. Will the three remain together or will something happen as Charlie and Cole vow to keep Maddie safe at all cost?
I loved seeing snippets of the dreams throughout the years and seeing how the guys took care of Maddie from the beginning really. This adds to the emotional factor that is mixed in with a whole lot of steam as the three realize they all three belong together. This was a quick steamy read about fated mates finding one another.

Frozen by Lies is the first book in the Sleigh Riders Series. It is a paranormal supernatural fantasy that takes place in a remote mountain community that is kept isolated from other communities. The story centers around twenty-six-year-old Noelle Frost who works at the Blades Bar. Noelle is a bit of an introvert who is unfamiliar with the ways of the world. She is heavily protected by her family who is insistent that she is not to date. When a good looking stranger named Nikolaus Klaus arrives in the bar Noelle finds herself instantly attracted to him.
Nikolaus also finds himself attracted to Noelle, but her family is adamant that she has nothing to do with this man. They are suspicious of this stranger and become very angry at Noelle and forbid her from having anything to do with him. The Frost Clan and Klaus Clan are rivals and have been for as far back as anyone can recall. The problem is that nobody can answer the question of why these two clans are rivals. Regardless of the reasons relationships between them is unheard of and the thought of Noelle with a member of the Klaus Clan angers her family. Ignoring her family’s wishes, Noelle and Nikolaus find a way to meet secretly. What will happen when their families find out? Is their relationship doomed to fail?
The author did a great job of describing scenes and building the worlds of the rival biker clans in their respective communities. The description of the celebration of Christmas is vivid without being overwhelming. The reader is able to experience Christmas through Noelle as she sees it for the first time. The characters are ones that you either love or hate. Or love to hate, as in the case of Noelle’s family. Her cousins were overbearing and domineering as they tried to assert control over her. Although this seems odd there is clearly reasons behind their protectiveness. As the storyline unfolded Noelle was slowly starting to discover secrets about her family and I am certain there are some big revelations coming in the next book that will explain this.
Noelle was clearly an introvert that wanted to explore the world more and see what was out there. However, after leading such a sheltered life she was unsure how to go about this. She snuck out whenever she could but if she was gone any length of time, it would alarm her family and they would try to control her every move. When she met Nikolaus she stepped out of her comfort zone and was introduced to things she had not seen or known about. Being naïve and unfamiliar with relationships Noelle tried to flirt with Nikolaus through witty banter.
Although the dialogue and banter seem to come across as a bit childish I cannot help but feel that the author has done this intentionally. The worlds of Nikolaus and Noelle are in a magical realm with supernatural elements. This realm has an innocence to it that is almost childlike. The witty banter will naturally not come across as worldly to anyone from outside this magical realm. It is meant to be unsophisticated and innocent.
I found this book to be an interesting take on Christmas and the magical aspect surrounding it. Rival biker clans, magical powers, and deep dark family secrets added a sense of suspense and mystery to it that leaves you wanting to read more. The supernatural aspects and the magical gifts that the Frost and Klaus Clans have was an interesting element that added a twist to the story. I will be reading book two to see where this story goes and what farther secrets Noelle uncovers about her family.

Gwen Carter has died twice and is down right tired of dying. With her new inheritance she finds herself back in the family home. Hoodoo Texas, a place that ran her off has brought her back. The black magic, ghosts and murder will keep Gwen on her toes as she tries to break the family curse. She is older now but can she prove her innocence and catch the true murderer? No spoilers here. However, this author is new to me and I love his writing skills. The audible version puts you into this story. The laughter and snarky-ness of the characters will bring you back for more. The story is fast paced and easy to follow. But make no mistake you will want to read more from this series. I am looking forward to reading more from this author as well as this series.

Spunky and sassy Gwen Carter has some of the craziest friends and associates to name. This story has had me rolling in laughter and then taking a double take with an “oh snap” the next minute. She herself has a give no f***s attitude, and it’s fascinating to watch. She’s got a lot of chaos in front of her but she does everything she can to keep her ground. She’s one of my new favorite characters haha. I’m so glad I get the chance to know her 😁

5 Stars Frozen By Lies (Sleigh Riders Book 1) by Martha Sweeney
Frozen By Lies is the first book in the Sleigh Riders Series and is a wonderfully written Paranormal Romance that once you start reading there’s no stopping until you finish. I’ve read several books by this author and I must say this is definitely at the top of my list. I mean who doesn’t love bikers, magic, drama,and a little cursing? This was right up my alley and I absolutely loved reading this book. The characters are relatable, fully developed and fun and a perfect fit for the great storyline. Get ready to be taken on quite the fast paced adventure. I don’t want to give away anything so I highly recommend reading. As always I can’t wait to read more from this Author.

I really enjoyed this book; I am a big fan of midlife paranormal women’s fiction. I love a good strong, sassy main character and Gwen is great, as are all the characters. I laughed quite a few times outload, (which made my grandson look at me like I was crazy). This story is the perfect pace and keeps you engaged the whole time. A definite must read.

Jocelyn, Cameron, and Reed have a special connection and for years they have been coming to one another talking and getting to know each other through their dreams. Although they all have the ability to see each other in their dreams Cameron has a special gift that allows him to know things before they happen. When Cameron has nightmares about the death of Jocelyn’s mother he keeps it to himself and becomes riddled with guilt when her mom dies. He feels that he should have been able to prevent it and protect Jocelyn from such a horrific loss.
After losing her mom Jocelyn is overcome with grief and pushes away Cameron and Reed and convinces herself that they are not real. When she is hired to photograph a wedding on a cruise to the Mediterranean, she cannot believe her eyes. Across the room is Cameron and Reed in the flesh but she is devastated to see them both with other women. Jocelyn flees from them before they can hurt her any farther. Cameron and Reed are not willing to let the woman they love get away from them again so they find Jocelyn and explain that it was all a misunderstanding. The rest of the cruise is filled with love, lust, and passion as the trio get to know one another better. Will their relationship survive in the real world once the cruise ends?
Another interesting story by this author who does not cease to amaze me with her writing on connections through dreams. The characters were wonderful and I enjoyed how the story unfolded between Cameron, Jocelyn, and Reed. Their connection initially started when Jocelyn was a pre-teen and evolved over the years. As they grew older their connection became stronger. They all knew from the first moment they met in their dreams that they loved one another. However, they had to navigate their own feelings and determine how a relationship as a trio would work. This book was filled with love, lust, romance, passion, anguish, revenge, and drama. A great read!

Return to Hoodoo a magical story and is book 1 of 2 in the Boudin, Bourbon, and Barbecue duo. What an adventure there is in this Paranormal Women’s Fiction and Reggi’s amazing writing skills. How have I not come across this author before? Mind boggles. Hoodoo is a place with such a diversity of characters who are a quirky and unusual mix of complexity, multidimensional, multifaceted and dare I say all in all a crazy bunch of riff raff. With ghostly servants, uncontrollable relations, witches, cantankerous vampires, vindictive ex’s, werewolves, magic, a haunted house and so much more. Reggie has given us a gift and one beautifully and skilfully woven tale with so many threads that you do not want to put down. It will have you laughing, on the edge of your seat and an ending that may just do your head in and a pinch of sadness. I love that the MC is a little older than the norm and has had real life experience. Well real life for her in this unruly town. It’s so easy to get lost in this crazy world of action, murder and mayhem where midlife does not look the same. I love paranormal, supernatural, mysteries that are thrillers with a little romance. I cannot wait to get stuck in to the next book.

This is the first book in the Sleigh Riders series. I really enjoyed this fantasy romance. The author does an amazing job of bringing the story to life. The mixture of fantasy and secrets and danger with something as sweet as Christmas really makes this story unique.
This story follows the Frost and the Klaus clans. For generations there has been a battle between the 2 families. Neither one wanting to budge and inch. But what happens when a boy and a girl from opposite families realise they are fated mates. That’s what happens to Noelle Frost and Nikolaus Klaus. Their romance is powerful and such a great read as it unfolds but is it strong enough to mend the rift between the two families? Or make the war between them even worse? Add to this the secrets and lies that have been told through generations of the Frost clan that makes the females of the clan not realise the power they hold and this story really starts to heat up as the lies and secrets slowly start to be reveled. This is one book that promises Christmas feelings, snow, hot chocolate and romance with the added spice of bikers, hidden magic and a romance that could heal or destroy everything around them.

This is a new author for me which I enjoyed reading and look forward to the next book in this series. This is a fun, entertaining story that has a little bit of everything in it. An engaging story where the characters are relatable and will keep you engaged throughout the story. I enjoyed how they pulled me into their world along with their twists and turns that kept me turning pages. This is a fast paced story that is hard to put down. A story that will make you question the saying three times is a charm, in this case it may not be such a charm as it is just plain unlucky. I enjoyed watching the growth of the plot as well as the characters throughout the story. This is a fun story that you don’t want to miss. I highly recommend it.

This is my first audible by this author which I enjoyed listening to. I look forward to the next book in this series. I enjoyed how the narrator pulled me into the story using different tones throughout. This is a fun, entertaining story that has a little bit of everything in it. An engaging story where the characters are relatable and will keep you engaged throughout the story. I enjoyed being pulled into the story from the start and had to find out what happened next. A story that will make you laugh and have you sitting on the edge of your seat the next minute. Is three times a charm really all that lucky? You don’t want to miss this one! This is great audio and I highly recommend it.

Gwen is a character that I would want to be friends with. Sassy, strong and independent, she’s back and just wants to do her business. I found this to be quite the story. I loved it because it wasn’t your basic cookie cutter. It’s unique, creative and full of paranormal goodies in the story. I love a hot werewolf too. I’ve been naughty. Lock me up. You can feel the intensity of the emotions throughout the story. I found everything so entertaining and intriguing that I stayed up late to finish it. Well worth losing sleep over. I can’t wait to read more. Bring on more of this deliciousness.

Dying sucks. She’s done it twice. Three times is not a charm!
Gwen Carter is pissed.
After gaining a second magical disability, the last thing she needs is a summons to her hometown of freaking Hoodoo, Texas. After accepting an inheritance too complicated to refuse, it goes from bad to oh crap when she witnesses a horrifying murder by black magic.
As Gwen climbs higher on the suspect list, she’s terrified that she has yet to break the family curse.
Will Gwen be able to prove that the current murders are connected to the one that drove her from her beloved home in shame, or will she lose not only her life but the family legacy?
Return to Hoodoo is the hilarious first book of the Boudin, Bourbon, and Barbecue, a paranormal women’s fiction series. If you like a dash of romance with your bawdy broads and nutty friends and family, then you’ll love Reggi Dupree’s captivating supernatural thriller.
There’s something about magic, action, and the supernatural that calls to my wicked soul. I enjoy most genre fiction, but am drawn to heroines like me and my weird circle of friends: not so slim, not that young, and even a wee bit cranky. But we also find joy and laughter, even in the darkest of times.
I fill my books with adventure, magic, loss, love, and casts bursting with diversity. Seriously, how boring would life be if we were all the same?
Okay, now the personal stuff.
I married the first boyfriend who made it past the four-month mark. Since we’ve been hitched over thirty-five years, I’m thinking he just might stick. The two cats? Well, they’re too spoiled and way too stubborn to move off the couch.
Take off your boots, grab a cold one and settle in for a magical good time.

Fallen Soul is the fourth book in the War of Destiny Series, and it is just as fast-paced, full of surprises, and entertaining as the first three books. This book is shorter than the other books of the series, but still packs the same punch! Theresa Van Spankeren does an amazing job creating not only the world of the time period, but also the world of the vampires. I loved this book and its deviation from the perspective of the original characters, while also including them in the story. Much more information is learned about the vampires and some of the abilities that a select few of their kind possess. Valentino is still as evil as ever, and focusing his effort on not only hunting the members of Samuel and Julia’s ka-tet, but also hunting the rogue, Lane Marlow, whom he believes to be a threat based on his unusual powers. Overall, Theresa Van Spankeren delivers more great characters and wonderful world building that I’ve come to associate with her writing!

I absolutely loved reading book one in this series. The Christmas theme wasn’t in your face like most books/movies are. It was subtly there which was refreshing. Noelle was a strong protagonist and was written well, as well as Nikolas. They balance each other out very well and I was impressed. You have two feuding families that have been feuding for a very long long time and nobody remembers what the original fight was about. Two stubborn families collide in this book, and nobody is sure what the end will look like for them. The story was well paced, and had plot twists that come out of nowhere. I loved reading this book and can’t wait to see what the 2nd book entails!

I am in awe of how this book straddles a few genres.<br />This is a mix of MC, small town and almost enemy to lover genres, add some magic and you almost have the basis of this book. It is written in a wintery scene and I think I will be re-reading it over the festive time, for mood and ambiance.<br />We meet and see Noelle come into her own as she finds herself attracted to a visiting stranger, that her family do not like. The clan and villagers seem to be keeping secrets and when Noelle finds out a few things she decides to follow her intuition. Are her family keeping things from her, to keep her safe or to keep everyone under control…<br />Nikolaus comes from a different Clan, he has his own secrets that he wants to share with Noelle, can he get past the family, clan divides, and will Noelle come into her powers.<br /> <br/><br/> <a href=”https://www.goodreads.com/review/list/34425105-tracy”>View all my reviews</a>
