Twists and turns This is the 8th book in the series and it was brilliant. I really like Logan, she is an easy character to connect with and is not too OTT. This book had me intrigued and anxious to find out what was going to happen next. The pacing was well done and the story was layered with mystery, suspense, action and drama. Loved the Raptor Centre setting too. Will definitely be checking out more from this author.

Brilliant! The girl who escaped is an engaging read and is well written. The characters are intriguing and easy to love. Angie has been through a massive trauma and I felt all her emotions. Brenda is such a strong character and is so driven. I haven’t read the Jake Wolfe series by this author and didn’t realise that Jake and Cody from this book had their own books but I am definitely going to check them out. I loved their characters. With suspense and edge of seat moments, this crime thriller is a must read. Highly recommend.

Interesting spin on dating This is the first book in the Billionaire Blind Dates series. I really enjoyed the refreshing take that this author took on blind dating. Even though this was a quick read, there is a depth to the writing that drew me in. The characters are well rounded and I was genuinely invested in the outcome. Jake and Lauren are a brilliant couple. I am very keen to find out more about the other billionaires. Highly recommend.

Enticing and passionate I have enjoyed every book in this series so far. This is book 4 and I am still captivated by the world this author has created. Romano is one of the Masters in the Consulate and has a played a part in previous books. This is his and Raven’s story. With the witches and vampires on the verge of war Romano and Raven have the odds set against them. Even though each book is dedicated to a different Master, I recommend reading from book 1 to get an understanding of the backstory. And recurring characters. With vampires, witches, fated mates and romance – what’s not to love.

Thoroughly enjoyable Ashali and The Blue Horseman is a brilliant adventure story with a touch of romance. An intriguing sci-fi based story it grips you from the start. The writing is easy to read and world-building very well done. The story is layered with several storylines and is told from both Ashali and Jase’s POV which makes for a deeper connection. With strong characters, vigilantes, aliens, superheroes and secrets this is a highly recommend.

A Hawaiian Romance This boxset was a collection of well-written romances set in the late 60s that have some overlap.
Try Easy This is Keoni and Lou’s story. A girl’s trip to Hawaii ends up to be more than Lou bargained for. Keoni holds onto past hurts and needs to heal before he can move on. This is slow burn but the writing kept me interested. I loved the setting and the Hawaii of old.
Try Me This is Pearl and Declan’s story. I really enjoyed their ‘fake’ relationship and the way they interacted. Their chemistry was hot. The setting is spot on again and the author interweaves the history seamlessly. The events in this book occur at the same time as book 1 and the author pulled that off brilliantly.
Try Right This is Claudia and Henry’s story. We have come across these characters in the previous books. Claudia is Keoni’s first love and she also caused some issues in book 2. Henry is Keoni and Bones’ friend and where Penny and Lou stayed in book 1. He is a strong character and true to his word. Claudia is also strong and this makes for some very intense moments. Again the setting is brilliant and the imagery amazing.
I have thoroughly enjoyed this boxset and totally recommend.

Brilliantly written and based on a true story this book was one for the heart. Based in World War II, it is the story of a young girl’s life when the Nazi’s invaded France. A tale of courage, hardships, family ties and the fight for survival. The author has given a voice to past with a sensitivity that is to be admired. I was drawn into the story from start to finish. Highly recommend.

The fifth book in the Titans of Manhattan series and we have Alessia and Kristopher’s story. Kris is an interesting Titan as he is the one who is already settled down, but not in a happy way. This book is a contemporary romance with the Titan stamp of darkness (some trigger warnings) and steam. I have loved all the books from this author and I look forward to more.

Unexpected is spot on With every book I fall in love with the characters a little bit more. I love the history interwoven with the mystery. Emma and Jeremy are wonderful characters and they make for a daring couple. The story is an adventure layered in distrust, family drama , suspense and danger. From train wrecks to heists this book has it all. Please read this series from book one, as there is a storyline that continues throughout. Highly recommend.
Drama, danger and deceit A sensual romance with a sassy female and strong, assertive male. Lady Celia has secrets and a shady past. Rogue Gabriel has his own troubles. The two together have a chemistry but need to survive backlash from all directions. With history, a possessive alpha male and lots of steam this is a recommend.

A bit of everything This is the fourth book in The Fair Series. This is a best friend’s little sister, billionaire, royal, with fake relationship and a touch of pretty woman type of romance. It is well written and the characters get their fair share of challenges. There’s drama, scandals, lies and some steam along the way. Anna is a very strong character and stays true to herself throughout the whole story. I enjoyed the setting and the way the author immersed the Scottish culture and dialogue. It was not overly done and well balanced. Recommend.

Brilliant I absolutely loved this book. Quinn and Kieran’s story told in dual POV was well written. The world building was exceptional and the characterisation around wolves is original. This book draws the reader into a fantastical world and the banter between Kieran and Quinn makes you totally invested in the storyline. Even though this is a stand-alone I am hoping to see glimpses of these characters in future V-Clan series books. Now awaiting Lorcan and Kyra’s story.

Interesting mystery thriller This was a first from this author for me and it was an intriguing story. The writing was easy to read and pretty detailed. The layers within the storyline were interwoven well and I was kept interested through the whole book. There was a rawness to the character development that I enjoyed as it made them all the more real and relatable. With action, emotion, mystery and suspense this is a definite recommend from me.

Contemporary Cinderella with a twist Absolutely loved this story. The characters are well developed the storyline so intriguing. Ashley and Harry come from different worlds and have their own family issues. With chemistry building between them they need to navigate carefully. A wonderful contemporary romance with a clean fairytale overtone for YA lovers.

Healing and happiness found again Circumstances have a way of presenting themselves when needed. Chase and Katie have had their fair share of ups and downs. This was a quick read for me but did not lack in depth in characterisation and storyline. A contempt second chance romance, the story has the right balance of steam and angst with both Chase and Katie needing to face issues for the past. Very engaging read!

Romantic second chances Love Wes and Addie’s story. On a roller coaster of emotions I finished this book with a big sigh. So much history falls between these two and wading through a decade of miscommunications and lost moments is treacherous. The author’s writing draws you in and kept me vested right through til the end. Brilliant!

Unexpected I was very unsure going into this book but what I found was an intriguing story. I was glued from page one. This book has action, suspense and romance woven throughout a storyline that you just wanted more. The author has a very good writing style that made me so vested in the characters and their outcomes. I will definitely be checking out book 2.

Smith – Review by Rayne East
Mixed emotions What a ride! Rivals is the 7th book in the Mafia Elite series and is the last. I have loved every single book in this series. Each pair of characters has become like family and I am so torn now that it is over. Happy to see that there will be a spin off series and that I can still catch up with the Five families in these books. This book us Nico and Mia’s story. Both characters have appeared in previous books. As always, action abounds, along with drama and some stolen steamy moments. It’s everything I have come to expect from this excellent author. Recommend reading the whole series.

Final book in trilogy What a brilliant conclusion to a wonderful trilogy. I have enjoyed every book in this series. With quirky family, teenage angst, mischievous magic and lots of delicious baked goods – what more is needed? The story is well written and the characters amazing. The added bonus of the recipes is a treat. Totally recommend reading from book 1 to get the full experience.

The truth is out there This thought-provoking book had me on the edge of my seat, quickly turning pages to find out what was going to happen next. The author has based the book on a foundation of true-science which is scary enough in itself, let alone woven through with the global conspiracies and epidemic. My heart raced and my mind was blown by the possibilities. A strong start to what looks to be a thrilling trilogy. Highly recommend.

Plenty within these pages This book had a bit of everything YA lovers would enjoy. Magic, paranormal beings, other worlds and strong characterisation. There’s action and cool weapons too. The author does a brilliant job of bringing this world to life. The MC was a bit slow on the uptake at times, but this isn’t a big issue. A really engaging read.

Demon hunter and a twist This was a brilliant read – I totally enjoyed every moment. Rovena is a a kick-ass demon hunter and the battles (both physical and emotional) were delivered well. With mystery, suspense, witty banter and of course demon hunting there is so much to love about this book and so much more left to explore for the rest of the series. I can’t wait.

Quirky and left-field This was uniquely crazy! I enjoyed the dark humour and madness surrounding the eccentric characterisation. There’s suspense, sci fi, and some slightly horrific scenes but it was captivating. A very different, but talented, writing style delivers an imagery that is hard to forget. A very entertaining read.

This book made me ugly cry. Not just the lone tear that I normally shed but actually sobs. The emotion bleeds off the pages and I was drawn straight into the world. I love the writing, so easy to connect with and raw. This book takes off right where book 1 ended and it didn’t take me long to be swept away into Cam’s life. This was not an easy ride and every blow felt so real. The creation of the world, the character development and the whole concept just comes together flawlessly. Can’t wait to launch into book 3.
