Night Hawke is the prequel and the start to The Hawke Family Second Generation Series. I was so excited to see where Gwyn had taken us. It isn’t necessary to read the first generation The Hawke Family Series. It is one of my favourite series and let me tell you that you should start at the beginning. You will definitely not be disappointed even though it is a very, very short read. Just a teasing taste of what’s to come. Gwyn has never let me down and always produces page turners and Night Hawke is just as amazing as the others. It is intricately woven and are very well plotted out. The characters are well developed and hard not to fall in love with. The story is told in different POV’s letting you have more of an insight into these complex people. This Mafia romance tale has plenty to offer any reader, with suspense and tension, oozing chemistry and passion, action, adventure and much, much more. He’s a billionaire heir attorney and she is running from her life. Just one sexy and passion filled night. Or is it? No spoilers here you need to grab a copy and find out what happens for yourself because it is that good. Now I just have to wait anxiously for the next instalment.

This is an amazing prequel. It was spicy right from the start of the book. This is such a quick read but it does not disappoint in any way. It gives you a little taste of what is to come in this new series but it definitely leaves you thirsty for more. This book will have you blushing and squirming in your seat. I couldn’t sit down through the whole book because I was so caught up in what was happening with the characters. This book is so well written that you feel like you are part of this whole group and what is happening in the book feels like it happening right in front of you. It is an amazing escape for a few hours (I’m a quick reader) and it will leave you wanting more. You do not have to read the first generations series in order to understand what is going to happen in this series. Sometimes I feel like authors say that but then you find yourself lost in the story line because you just don’t fully understand what is happening. That isn’t the case here. You truly don’t have to read the first generation. However, I have a feeling once you finish this book you will want to because it is that good. It will also help fill the time till the next book arrives.

I loved reading this steamy romance story. This is an author that I have loved reading from the first book I picked up. One of the things I enjoy most about this author is her writing style that makes her stories fast paced and entertaining. Her attention to details make her stories pop and hard to put down. This book is no different. This is a well written story that is a prequel to A Second Generation Hawke Family series. The characters pull you in from the start. They have great chemistry and growth throughout. They will show you what happens when the unexpected happens and a two night stand is not enough, you need more. This is a story that I found hard to put down, it is that engaging and entertaining. A story that is easy to fall for the characters which make the story easy to read and come back for more. You don’t want to miss this one for sure. I highly recommend this must read story and this great author.

Salvation: An Ash Park Prequel Novella (Ash Park, #0.5) By Meghan O’Flynn Rated 5 stars
This is a story of Ed Petrosky before he became a detective. His life was normal and he was happy…yes happy. Hard to imagine if you have read the other Ash Park novels. Anyway we learn some about why he is the way he becomes. Straight to the point, hard and a giver of no-Sh**. I enjoyed reading the look into Ed previous life.
The writing is smooth and as usual I was drawn to the story. The characters are smart and unforgiving. I struggled to figure out this “who-dunnit” so that is always a happy surprise for me when reading her stories. Even though it’s a Novella..the author doesn’t skimp on the mystery or suspense. This can be read as a stand alone. I have read all the Ash Park novels and still couldn’t figure out this one!

Reading the Ash Park novels throughout 2018 was the favorite times of my dark twisted little thriller heart. Each and every one was a dirty little secret desire that I devoured and enjoyed way too much. In fact, all of Megan O’ Flynn’s novels do that to me actually. I can always count on her when I need a good twisty dark read.
Now with every book Of her Ash Park series I have left a glowing review saying how flabbergasted I was this woman could top the crazy and the great that was the book before it, but she delivered time and time again, and I was heartbroken when I thought it may have come to an end for the Ash Park stories. So to say I was excited when I saw Salvation pop up on my feed would simply be an understatement. I devoured this packed full 161 page novella in just a few short hours and was left dying for a reread of the the series again! LOL! If you haven’t gone and read them yet, do so, you won’t be disappointed!!
Salvation gives us the up close and personal, the nitty gritty, on Detective Edward Petrosky. He was always a favorite of mine throughout the series but seemed to leave a lot of unanswered questions about why he was the way he was… Well no more questions yall. O’Flynn gives and gives and twists the knife ever so perfectly. Of course I am not going to give to juicy gory details, for those you will have to one-click and devour this gem for yourself. You will fall in love I am sure and find yourself hooked! Thank you for this fantastic series Ms. O’Flynn! I can’t wait to see what will come next from you!!

Salvation: An Ash Park Prequel Novella By: Meghan O’Flynn 5 out of 5 stars
The story Salvation: An Ash Park Prequel Novella by Meghan O’Flynn is a book that I loved reading. I have already read the other stories in the Ash Park series and enjoyed reading another book with the character of Edward Petrosky. This novella is when Ed is a patrol officer. He is in love with his fiancé Heather. Then in one night, his dreams for the future are destroyed when he finds Heather’s bloody body half-buried in the snow. Now pain and grief surround him. Who killed Heather? Why was she killed? When another body is found, one that has a connection to where Heather volunteered her time and to the same church she attended, more questions are raised. Will Ed ignore the rules and sacrifice his career to get justice for Heather? Will the killer be caught? Read this book to find out. This is a story that has twists and turns. There is suspense and I found myself on the edge of my seat wondering what was going to happen next. Trying to figure out who was responsible for the crimes being committed is like trying to solve a puzzle. I found myself trying to put together the pieces. Ed is a character that is haunted by his past and a character that I could empathize with. He also has a sharp mind and good instincts. There are other characters that are introduced in this story that I also liked reading about. They are helpful to Ed. Then there are those who have their own agenda and don’t care about who is hurt or the consequences. This is a story that will hook you in and won’t let go until you finish it. I would highly recommend reading it.

O’Flynn is officially a master storyteller. This prequel was everything I expected and yet still surprising. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed the Ash Park series and was so excited to get my hands on this installment. If you like a good mystery with plenty of suspense, you MUST READ this series. Just a fantastic book and series. Highly recommended.

Edward Petrosky joined the Ash Park police force with two goals in mind: escape the military and silence the demons that followed him home from the war. And no one soothes those traumas better than his fiancé, Heather—he doesn’t even mind that she has a checkered past of her own.
But his dreams are obliterated when one night, on a routine call, Ed stumbles upon a scene as horrifying as any he’s seen in combat: Heather’s bloody body, half-buried in the snow. Though his superiors order him to stay away from the investigation, Ed can’t help but notice the inconsistencies in Heather’s case—her supposed cause of death doesn’t mesh with what she’s told him about her past.
When another body turns up, Ed realizes that Heather’s murder wasn’t an isolated act of violence; this new victim was connected to the same shelter where Heather volunteered and attended the same church where a kindly priest seems to know more about the murders than he should. And the detectives working the case seem indifferent to these links despite being no closer to finding Heather’s killer.
Now Ed must choose whether to play by the rules or sacrifice his career to seek justice for the woman he was supposed to spend his life with. One thing’s for certain: Ed can’t go down without a fight, because Ed isn’t the only one seeking vengeance.
And in Ash Park, the innocents aren’t always who they appear to be.
Chilling, and as twisted as you’ve come to expect from Meghan O’Flynn, Salvation will keep you glued to the pages. If you like James Patterson’s Alex Cross series, Tana French’s Murder Squad series, or Vargus and McBain’s Violet Darger FBI thrillers, you’ll love Ash Park.
Meghan O’Flynn is a clinical therapist, writer, artist, wife, and mom. She adores her amazing little boys, dark chocolate, tea, dirty jokes, and back rubs with no strings attached, in that order. Meghan is the bestselling author of The Jilted, Shadow’s Keep, and the Ash Park series—which includes Famished, Conviction, Repressed, Hidden and Redemption—and has penned a number of short stories including “Crimson Snow” and “Alien Landscape.” She is frankly amazed that her wonderful husband still agrees to live with her after reading them and even more shocked that he seems to sleep soundly.

Wow! This fast paced, paranormal romance was everything I hoped it would be and unexpectedly more. The characters are rich and detailed. The storyline moves quickly and maintained my interest from first page to last. The universe created in these pages was one that I immediately became engrossed in and didn’t want to leave. Cannot wait to read more in the series and from this author! A must read!

By Brienne Dubh
5 Stars
I loved this so much! This was a fast paced, quick read in one sitting kind of story. I truly enjoyed the storyline and love how this author has set up the beginning of this series.
This is my first read by this author and I found the flow to be smooth and absolutely can not wait to read more. Well let me rephrase that, I MUST read more after that ending.
I loved the characters and I especially loved how different the story involving vampires was. I have read a lot of vampire stories in the past and was pleasantly surprised at how this one was told.
I highly recommend this story, I’m not going into any details, I went in to this completely blind and this is one of those books I am so glad I did.

Awakening of a Soul Keeper- Prequel to the Soul Keeper Series By Brienne Dubh Rated 5 stars!
Wow! What a great beginning to a new series! I was drawn in by the lure of a sweet vampire story. Then the characters became alive and i could hardly put this down. The story is unlike any other I have read. All because of Sam. He is the husband to the Soul Keeper. Every twist and turn I wanted to see what would happen to Sam or Theodora or even Lyzander next. I read this fairly quickly and I can not wait for the next one to come out!
This is a first time author for me. It was beautifully written and full of intrigue. Just enough Info given to keep me on the edge…begging for more. The story was different (meaning who ever heard of a third wheel on a vampires mate??) but well done. The characters were sassy, bossy and strong. I loved it all! So so glad I picked up this book on a whim!

I was so so so excited when I found this book, I read Primogenito quite a while back and of course loved it as with any book by this author and when I found this one and then realized it was the prequel I was even more thrilled. To write a story that goes back before the brilliance of Primogenito and getting to know these people a little more and understanding how this story started was genius. This author continues to amaze me and I absolutely can not say enough about how much I love her stories and how she forms the storylines.
This one was nothing short of heart breaking and I held my breath a few times and felt some deep rooted anger that had me wanting to crawl into my kindle and show a few people what they could do with their protected secrets!! The emotions that were portrayed in this story made them feel so so real because they weren’t just written they were formed with the greatest care and I felt as close to understanding how these people were feeling as I possibly could.
I just don’t know how to put in words my love for this author’s writing, even if some of the things she writes are so very hard to read she does it in a way that you can tell she thought about her readers as she wrote her words.
I HIGHLY recommend this and every book this author has, I became a forever fan after the first book I read by her and that continues to be the case.

The Confectioner’s Exile (The Confectioner Chronicles, #0) by Claire Luana was a fast pace, heart pounding read, that had me hooked from start to finish.
Not my first read by this author or in this series. This book takes place before The Confectioner Guild, but no worries there are no spoilers. It’s one of those books that you can read before the first or after, or somewhere inbetween.
Coming in at 151 pages, that book starts out innocent enough, but in a matter of pages you are tossed into a race agents time, a rescue mission and a good old punch to the heart, just to make it all the more nerve wracking. The only thing I would have to say, that I didn’t like, was that at times I felt like, the emotions weren’t there. There is flatness where there should have been raw bloody emotions, that rip out your heart strings. I know this was short, but I feel like more time should have been spent into developing those emotional scenes, to round out this otherwise excellent story.
As a whole I very much loved this addition to this unique series. Following Hale, his journey, and how he ended up at the guild, really puts him in a different light. I like meeting his brother, his mom, and just seeing what his life was like before. It explains a lot to say the least.
With that said, I will leave you with my super high recommendation and my stamp of approval. This series is a must read, it’s putting a new spin on overused tropes and clichés. It’s a breath of fresh air, and I can’t wait to dive into the next instalment.
The Confectioner’s Exile: The Confectioner Chronicles Prequel Novella
By Claire Luana
5 Stars
After reading the Confectioner’s Guild book 1 in this series it was completely awesome to go back and read Hale’s story. I don’t normally like doing this but it worked perfectly for me in this case. I was able to get a much better understanding of who Hale is and where he came from, and the lessons and the tragic losses he experienced along the way.
I really liked Hale in The Guild but spent a few too many pages completely angry at him, and although he was able to redeem himself in the end it did help having this part of his story and knowing I was right to like him so much!
I can not wait for the next in this series, there are stories brewing and I can not wait to dive back in and see what sort of adventures these characters have in store for them. I highly recommend this series and where you read this book whether before or after book one should not matter in my opinion but I’m glad I read it after I read the guild.
This author is completely amazing, I am always drawn in immediately where some books take me a few pages. I know I can always count on this author to give me something I would not normally read and make me fall in love.
I read Elegantly Denim: An Elegant Prelude (Elegant Series- Prequel) before reading the series and perhaps I should have read it AFTER I read the series. I will come back and update this review after I read the full series.
This prelude was a bit confusing. There are many characters introduced, but there is no explanation why everyone is running around all willy nilly. I THINK I understand where the author was going with some of the characters, I assume they are introduced in depth in the series, but it was just confusing as to where they went. There was a lot of detail about them and then *poof* nothing. It has definitely peeked my interest though and I will be checking out the series.
I can’t tell if the protagonist is a good guy or a bad guy. What are his motivations? What’s with his whining brother? What’s with that random gal calling out of the blue? Why is his mother the way she is? I have questions…

This is the prequel to the Gray Ghost series. I actually read the first two books in the series before this novella. I am loving this series. This story tells about the Gray Ghost characters when they were kids and what lead them to the choices they are making as adults.
This story is hard to read in that the kids are homeless and the ones that do have a home are being abused. The story flows and you can almost tell that something bad is going to happen, but you just aren’t sure until it does happen. Little do they realize that the bad will lead to the one opportunity they need to be great.
I recommend this story before you start the Gray Ghost series or at any time during it. Looking forward to reading more about these characters.

CODE RAVEN: Prequel by Lynda Filler is the book where it all began and made Raven who he is. It set the scene and gives us a tantalising taste on what is to come. It is a quick and easy read that has you lingering on each and every word of what could be. What made the man, his motivations and the intrigue and mystery of the characters that make up the Raven series. Now we know the man we can move on to the first book in the series and see what thrills are instore for us.
Code Raven is the prequel for the Code Raven series by Lynda Filler. The series is an action-packed adventure, with suspense, special ops, covert missions, drama, and intrigue. This book lays out some of the groundwork, filling in character details, giving backstory and background information that is the foundation for the series which follows. This book moves from past to present and back several times over the course of the book. These flashbacks give us important details that help us better understand the character/s and motivations. The book is a fast-paced novelette, which makes this a very quick and easy read. It is told from several points of view, helping to give us a well-rounded perspective of everything. This book introduces us to Luke Raven, the head of the Raven Group- a top secret special ops corps. He is a brilliant man; whose accomplishments and talents seem to be limitless, but who has also experience great personal heartache. We really get to know him and the other members of his team. I enjoyed finding out about him and meeting the others- Luci, Alice, Zach, RB, Maggs- and discovering how the Raven Group came to be. I am looking forward to reading the rest of this series- it looks set to be a thrilling ride.
Burning Fate: The Moonburner Prequel Novella, Book 0 by Claire Luana
5 Stars
Fantasy books sometimes have a tendency to confuse me, but this one was written so clearly that there was no confusion at all. Azura was an awesome character, I loved everything about her. Although she was a princess in line for the throne she was real and everyone loved her. Knowing her fate has been sealed and she must marry to end a war that has been going on forever between the moonburners and the sunburners, she takes some time for herself and in doing this meets Takeo, after spending time together their connection is real yet he has no idea who she is. As the truth comes out and these two realize that being together will be almost impossible they don’t realize that someone knows that they have been sneaking off together, which leads to false accusations that puts Takeo’s life on the line. As Azura learns the truth about the people in her life she must make a decision which could change her life forever, but will it be in time to save her loves life?
This was a quick read full of content, it was not filled with any fluff which made the reading very enjoyable. This is my first book by this author and I can not wait to move on to the next in this series, I’m glad I started with this part since I see that it is the prequel for parts of the story that are already out. Awesome book, awesome author!!

Beachcomber Investigations: 4 Book Set: a Romantic Detective Series by Stephanie Queen
5 Stars
The prequel to this series was set up perfectly. With all the action and suspense and a lot of twists and turns and bad guys, two people get thrown together and become unlikely partners on the shores of Martha’s Vineyard. Shana, who has a huge chip on her shoulder to prove who she is and what she’s capable of and Dane, who’s fighting a past full of danger, loss, and sadness, and a reputation of being a legend, and just wants a vacation on his beloved island. The two work together along side others to take down the people behind the kidnapping of a rich young heiress and suspicious activity surrounding the American Invitational Surfing Competition. The back and forth interaction between Dane and Shana was hilarious, and I could almost feel the tension as their attraction was undeniable. The ending was the perfect set up for what is to come in the series, and left me wanting more of these two and which direction they will go with their attraction.
As this story progresses past the prequel, it just gets better and better, with their Investigations firm set up these two partners in business and enemies in all things relationship wise set out to keep their business afloat, while teasing and pushing each other away the whole time, yet the tension is so high you can actually feel it. The secondary characters in this book are so amazing and stay front and center throughout and make this series perfect. I love Cap and Acer and hope Acer comes back in future books, but I think my favorite is Ronnie, the stringer lol I see future stories for these characters woven into the continuing story of the dysfunctional Dane and Shana.
I was thrilled to do a search and find that there is so much more for Beachcombers Investigations and can’t wait to read all of them…I would love to see this as a series on tv, I think it would be big hit. I don’t know what the future is going to hold for these characters but I can not wait to find out. I love this author’s writing style and the flow of the book has you turning pages so fast to see what happens next, there is never a lull in the stories, always something going on and I Loved Loved Loved It!!!!
