The Scent of Snow (The Winemakers Series) by Giovanna Siniscalchi – Review by Rebeca Elliott Figueiras

The Scent of SnowThe Scent of Snow by Giovanna Siniscalchi
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

It was a lovely surprise to find Pedro and
Anne’s story continued here!
This can be read as a standalone without reading the 2nd book in the Winemakers series.

Once again, wonderfully written. The characters are brought to life during the holiday season as they experience a bit of turbulance in their relationship. Pedro is at risk of retreating into himself while Anne processes wanting a child but potentially not being given one.
The character development continues in this novella once again both individually as well as together which I love.

A lovely novella, I just wish I had found it around Christmas!

The Taste of Light (The Winemakers, #2)The Taste of Light by Giovanna Siniscalchi
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is the second book in the Winemaker series. You don’t have to read the series in order to understand the characters and stories. I myself read the first and third prior to this one. I would certainly recommend reading them all though.

This as with the other book in this series is very well written. I love the writing style, flows nicely and is descriptive creating a vivid picture of the scenes as they play out. The story is clearly researched adding the the realism that is felt while reading.

As usual, I loved the charcters, they were well-written and enjoyable. I got invested in Pedro and Anne’s story, their individual character developments, as well as their progression as a couple. I particularly liked the character of Anne, strong and determined in an adventure she wasn’t expecting.

I’m not surprised I loved this as much as I did, given how much I have enjoyed the entire series. I hope for more in future!

A Heart So Savage (The Savage Duet Book 2) by April Moran – Review by Rebeca Elliott Figueiras

A Heart So Savage (The Savage Duet #2)A Heart So Savage by April Moran
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the second book in the Savage Duet. It follows on from the first, so I would highly recommend reading the first prior to this one.

As with the first book, this is a dark romance which may not be suitable for readers who find violence and dominance triggering especially given how the relationship began in the first book.

I still love the characters of Kingston and Ava, Ava in particular. She remains strong despite everything which has been uncovered and what she has gone through. She knows who she is and stays true to herself.
She’s determined on revenge and the danger increases. Kingston grew on me even more in this book as he continues to try to protect Ava and get revenge for her.

I’ve thoroughly enjoyed this duet and will be looking out for more from this author!

A King So Savage (The Savage Duet #1)A King So Savage by April Moran
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the first book in the Savage Duet and oh my, I wasn’t expecting to get so engrossed so soon. I will point out that this romance does get very dark so I would not recommend this for everyone, there are definitely things which could be triggering to some e.g. abductor and violence.

The characters, Kingston and Ava, are strong and memorable. I enjoyed the background to their initial connections between Kingston and Ava’s family, I felt it fit in nicely with their relationship journey.
Ava was my favourite of the pair and I loved discovering how she was next going to be defiant. Given what she’d been through her strength was another element in her that I loved.

While I would not agree with how the romance played out if it was one of my loved ones, I 100% loved reading it and getting drawn into the characters.

I am so glad to have been able to move straight onto the next book, otherwise I’m not sure how I would have coped.

Song of Earth and ClawsSong of Earth and Claws by Lena Abram
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I was looking for a fantasy that wasn’t part of an epic series to fit my current schedule and this seemed the perfect fit. This had everything I was hoping for; I was not disappointed in the adventure the danger, romance and the creatures within.

I loved the idea for this plot, I thought it was quite unique. There was a lot of detail, especially in the world building which was great and helped create the feeling that I was stepping into the world.
My only criticism in this regard, would be that there is so much detail in all areas except the bit that seems the most crucial to the plot – the Game. I was able to follow along, but I feel it would have made even more sense with more information and background on this.

I was 100% invested in Lannahi and her journey to coming into her own. I really enjoyed her strength and how she dealt with the betrayal she had experienced. I was rooting for her start to finish.

This was the first book that I’ve read by the author and I will definitely be looking out for more!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the second book in the Blood Prnice series. This book follows on from the first so I highly recommend going back to read the first prior to this one if you havent already.

Once again I had a great time following Leo and co. on their adventures learning the way around their new lives. I was again drawn in by the characters and the world surrounding them, well-written and full of twists to keep you engaged to the end.

I have become emotionally invested in the character’s lives and can’t wait to get my hands on the next book in the series.

This is the first book in the Blood Prince series, a great fantasy read. It daws you in from the beginning and you can’t help but fall in love with the characters and the world that thye inhabit.

I enjoyed following Leo and his family on ther journey, routing for their success. The plot was interesting in why they made the choices they did and their hopes for the future.

There were moments the danger had me on the edge of my seat. I couldn’t get enough and had to know what would happen next. The secrets and twists making this need stronger as I read on.

Enjoyable read and now onti the next in the series!

Kingdom of 7 Sovereigns: WolfKingdom of 7 Sovereigns: Wolf by R.C. Reigh
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is the first book in the Kingdom of 7 Sovereigns series. The fact that the blurb describes this as a mix between GOT, LOTR and Pride and Prejudice had me wanting to read this immediately. Some of my top favourites combined, I had very high hopes! This book did not disappoint.
There were great characters and a plot I thoroughly enjoyed. The pairing of Amelia and Dane was great, their interactions and concept behind their relationship was interesting and engaging. Other character, Cora for example, were also brilliant and I hope to see more of all of them throughout the series! The world building was creative and in depth. I enjoyed the setting of the magical academy and how it was set up nicely for future novels.
I loved this world, the plot, the author’s writing style and the characters. I can’t wait to get my hands on the next book in the series!

Shifter Shorts by TK Lawyer – Review by Rebeca Elliott Figueiras

Shifter ShortsShifter Shorts by T.K. Lawyer
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

This is a collection of short stories featuring shifters. I liked the premise of most of the collection and could see that there was potential had some of them been more developed but I felt that the shortness minimised the impact they could have had.
There is one that gets quick dark, I’m not opposed to dark or triggering content, but this may not be for everyone so if that is the case, this may not be the right book for you.
Some of the shorts appear rushed and end abruptly and the characters aren’t as developed as I usually prefer but this being said I still enjoyed reading this collection.
I can certainly see the potential and the directions these could take with a little more fleshing out and the plots themselves are interesting.
Overall an interesting collection, with great potential.

To Catch An Elf by Debra Parmley – Review by Rebeca Elliott Figueiras

To Catch An Elf: Pennsylvania Fighter PilotTo Catch An Elf: Pennsylvania Fighter Pilot by Debra Parmley
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This was a great book for me to take home over Christmas. There were many elements I enjoyed – not only the typical holiday romance, but also the danger and suspenseful elements which come along with the kidnapping. I was gripped almost immediately by the absurdity of the elf and when everything else starts coming together I was blown away.
Marcie’s latest job also seems to require her to complete a list of tasks with an old elf. This is just the beginning of the strange things about this job, but I won’t give any spoilers. When Marcie and Ted meet and there’s instant chemistry, so they pursue this connection and you get all the feels. But there’s still a lot left in the story, so you know something is about to go down! I could not put this down until I knew what was going to happen. I was too invested.
When Ted returns from a family event, Marcie has seemingly disappeared and so Ted begins to put things together. And so begin the twists that lead to the answers around this mystery elf and all the strange happenings.
Festive but action packed, I loved it! It was well written and the development and set up was subtle but worked so well. The darker side was balanced so well with the lighter holiday romance and it was right up my alley. I love the darker twisted stuff but also love the cheesey holiday romances, so combine the two and it was just what I wanted!

The Magic Man (The Olympic Peninsula series Book 3)The Magic Man by Cat Treadgold
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the third book in the Olympic Peninsula series. Although you could read each as a standalone, the previous characters do cross over, and you gain a deeper understanding of previous events and the characters by reading in order. This book focuses on David and Maddie coming together.
David has returned from Africa altered, to the concern of his family and meets Maddie. Instant chemistry. Unfortunately, David is taken and so Maddie decides to move on but isn’t necessarily being true to herself. As usual the author writes in such an engaging and easy flowing way it is so easy to get lost in the story and invested in the pair’s lives. The way the character’s secrets are slowly revealed and the truth of who they are, and their lives is developed is well-written and I didn’t want to put the book down.
The descriptive narrative, which is what hooked me in the first book, continues to bring the scenery and characters to life as the series progresses and I can’t help but wanting more!

The Alien & the Crime BossThe Alien & the Crime Boss by Naomi Valkyrie
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I love a good mafia character, so was looking forward to reading this.
I thought this was an original concept and I was invested beginning to end. I enjoyed the story running in the background as well, not just the romance blossoming between Leilphun and Kasper, it added more depth and complexity to the story and was another point of interest. It’s now one of my favourites this genre.
I enjoyed experiencing Leilphun and Kasper coming together, learning each other’s mannerisms and coming into their own. I especially loved Leilphun’s character development, it was great to see him really come into his own as a warrior in his desire to defend and protect Kasper.

Shadowed Agenda: An Enemies to Lovers Action-Packed Romantic Suspense Thriller (Shadow Defense Security Series Book 2)Shadowed Agenda: An Enemies to Lovers Action-Packed Romantic Suspense Thriller by Mavery Ellscott
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the second book in the Shadow Defense Security series. The books in this series can be read as standalones as they focus on different couples, but the characters to appear in other books.
Pavlov and Regan’s story has elements of enemies to lovers, but Pavlov’s caring nature is revealed when Regan and her daughter are in danger. His protective nature and determination to keep the pair safe is part of what makes him so enjoyable. I like that Regan is also a strong character, she stubborn in wanting to do what’s best for her daughter and you can see her develop as a character as the story progresses.
The author has again created well-written, enjoyable characters and you can’t help but get invested in their lives, especially as their stories unfold and the chemistry grows.
The plot is well developed and had me hooked throughout. There were plenty of twists to keep me guessing, and the way these were written makes it easy to follow along as things shift.
I’m really enjoying this series and I can’t wait to get my hands on more!

Grave Digger Academy IVGrave Digger Academy IV by C.A. King
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the fourth book in the Grave Digger Academy series. I highly recommend reading the series in order before starting this one, for backgrounds on the characters past events and the world. Another short read, but this doesn’t stop it being and engaging and enjoyable read.
Things just seem to keep getting worse for Makayla, loneliness sinks in again and my heart breaks for her, as surely, it’s worse than being alone when you’re surrounded by people who clearly don’t want anything to do with you. Things are put in place to work against her and yet she continues to work towards finding her truth.
I really enjoy Makayla and the strength she displays in the difficult positions she is put in. She continues to develop, which I love, and persevere despite all the obstacles in her way. I admire her.
This was another well-written instalment, and I can wait for the next book release to continue joining Makayla on the next leg of her adventure.

Grave Digger Academy IIIGrave Digger Academy III by C.A. King
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the third book in the Grave Digger Academy series. I would recommend reading the first two books prior to starting this one as the books follow on from each other and will give you a better understanding o the world and characters.
Makayla is thrown back into a form of isolation and seeking answers on her return to school once again. I felt for her as things were clearly different than they used to be, something was wrong and she was unable to get the help she previously had. It isn’t easy being put in that situation and so I admired Makayla for this as she works to figure out what’s going on.
While I wish the book was longer, the author did a good job of including character development which I love in books. I do wish the book had been longer and we could see more, it works at the length it is. It’s an easy read and I can’t wait to get my hands on the next book.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the second book in the Grave Digger Academy series. I would recommend reading the first before starting this one. Following on from the previous book, Makayla returns to school to news of the inter-academy competition bringing with is more problems for Makayla and her friends.
This is a short but fun read nonetheless. I enjoyed finding out more about the way the academies run e.g., funding, as this added a little extra to the story and made for an interesting storyline. I was happy to reconnect with old characters and find out more about them as they develop throughout the competition.
As with the first book, I only wish it had been longer. But the author has done a good job and I am sure I will enjoy the next book in the series.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the first book in the Grave Digger Academy series. This is a series that I’ve been wanting to read for a while now, so I was happy to finally get the chance. Although short, this was still a fun, enjoyable read.
I enjoyed the plot and felt the overall story was written well, creating a magical world to get sucked into. I liked the characters, particularly Makayla. I felt for her when she started school at a place she had not intended and starts off so isolated. Starting with disappointment is was interesting to see what would happen as the role of the Grave Digger was revealed. I can see a lot of potential in this series, and book 1 was a good introduction into the world.
I only wish the book was longer and went more in depth in some areas, but overall considering the length, the author did a good job and I look forward to reading the rest of the series.

Murky Murder (A Maid Ivy Cozy Mystery, #4)Murky Murder by Hazel Smith
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the fourth book in the Maid Ivy Cozy Mysteries series. I hadn’t read the previous books in the series before stumbling upon this one and although there is some character background which I feel would have made a great story in the previous books, the story is still enjoyable as a standalone. This ended up being a short but fun read, an enjoyable cosy mystery that was both entertaining and easy to follow.
The author created a fun collection of character who were all able to bring their own skills to the team. They were enjoyable and believable in their own ways, combined they were a quirky mystery solving team.
I look forward to going back and reading the series from the beginning and getting more understanding of the characters and their previous adventures.

Ghost Takes A VacationGhost Takes A Vacation by Carmen Radtke
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the second book in the Genie and Adriana Darling Cozy Paranormal Ghost Mysteries series. I love a cozy mystery and I love paranormal stories so combining the two was right up my street.
I loved the idea behind the story, the deceased great-great aunt needing her old belongings to strengthen her and the search for these items resulting Genie and Adriana sleuthing about. It’s a fun and easy read, perfect for curling up in front of the fire.
I really enjoyed the dynamics of the relationship between Genie and Adriana, they have a great relationship and individual skills that come together nicely in their attempts to solve the mystery. The characters are fun and lovable, and I will certainly be going back to read the first book because I just can’t get enough of them!
I think Adriana’s gift is my absolute favourite and makes for some funny content. I won’t spoil it for people, but I’m sure you’ll enjoy it. I can’t wait to get my hands on more from this series.

Master SardiniaMaster Sardinia by Sylvia Black
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the eighth book in the Masters of the Consulate series. Each book focuses on a different Master and their other half, but the underlying story continues throughout the series, so I would recommend reading them in order.
There is an element of enemies to lovers between Master Sardinia and Madria. The latter having a hatred of vampires when they meet. A common goal brings them together fighting again the rogues. There are obstacles in their way to each other and I enjoyed seeing how the pair navigated these.
The writing flows really well and the description narration paints a vivid picture of characters and scenery alike. The characters were well-written, complex and undergo development which I love in a story.
I again enjoyed the continuation of the underlying story, and the addition the couple bring to the collective team. I can’t get enough of this series and don’t think it will be possible to get bored of it. I look forward to more!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the second book in the Latitude series, which in turn is a follow-on series to the Antipodes series. Following on from the first book, this follows Caitlin and Gio. I would highly recommend reading the book prior to this one at the very least before starting this one.
Once again this was a well written story, flowing nicely an creating an intriguing world to step into. The complex characters are also well-written, they are developed well and draw you into their lives to the point you need to know what will happen to them next. The author has a great ability to suck you in and making you emotionally invested before you even realise it.
I enjoyed the developments in the story, the resurfacing of characters and dangers and seeing how as the characters change and develop, so do the solutions and thought processes. The events were made to feel believable and through provoking at times. It, along with the rest of the series is sure to be one that stays with me and I look forward to where we are taken next.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This was an enjoyable wild west thriller which I enjoyed. I’ve not read a book based in the Wild West for a long time, so I was pleasantly surprised when reading this by just how much I was enjoying it.
The plot was intriguing and unique, and the book was written well – the descriptive language used painted vivid pictures of both the scenes and characters.
Fenimore/Simon was an interesting character. Leaving a small ton life for the ‘glory’ of life as an outlaw was an interesting plot point. Then the mystery thriller elements, the character truly develops as he navigates sexuality and life within the gang. I love seeing character development so this was a great thing to see.
I liked that this wasn’t the typical western story, there was a lot more to it. The length of the book didn’t put me off, I adore long books, but feel like this may put some readers off. Give it a chance, you may surprise yourself.

Reckless Love: A Small Town Slow-Burn Forbidden Love Romance (The Bennetts of Langston Falls Book #4)Reckless Love: A Small Town Slow-Burn Forbidden Love Romance by K.G. Fletcher
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the 4th book in the Bennets of Langston Falls series. Although this can be read as a standalone, it’s well worth reading the entire series to getting a deeper understanding of the characters.
I enjoyed the author’s writing style; it flowed nicely and brought the characters to life. I got emotionally invested in their stories, their pasts and potential future. I love characters who show development as the book progresses, and in this instance both Becky and Glen show this development (I particularly liked that Glen’s development didn’t just start in this book, it can be found previously and ties in brilliantly). Their pasts and what they experienced come into play how they initially act and try to rebuild lives and relationships. It was encouraging to read, and I found myself rooting for the pair increasingly as I read on.
This was a well-written and at time emotional read that tugs on your heartstrings. The characters find ways into your heart and you can’t help but want them to succeed. I really enjoyed this book, but I do think you get a better appreciation and understanding if you read the entire series. You don’t want to miss out on everyone else!

Threads of TimeThreads of Time by Christy Nicholas
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the second book in the Toronto Time Agents series. I would recommend reading the first book prior to this one for an understanding on the world and the characters.
I don’t often read books with time travel but this one had me engaged and invested. There are plenty of twists and suspenseful moments to keep your attention and make you unwilling to put the book down.
The descriptive narrative allows you to step through time with the characters. You can tell research has been done on the time period, and this adds realism to the story as well as making you fell immersed in the story and time period. I was gripped from the beginning and remained enthralled throughout. There was so much going on and yet it wasn’t enough, I needed more of Wilda immediately – I loved her.
I can’t wait to get my hands on the next book, this series has been great so far and I can only see it getting better if it continues how it has.

Heart's Escape (Fallen Hearts)Heart’s Escape by Meredith Hart
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the third book in the Fallen Hearts series. This book can technically be read without reading the first two books, but this may initially cause some confusion. I would highly recommend reading the first two books in the series before this one to better understand the story and character background.
The author’s descriptive writing paints vivid imagery of both the characters and scenery allowing you to fully immerse yourself in the world they have created. The detail and characters really bring the story to life. The characters feel realistic and I love good character growth and development and this book certainly has that. I loved how the relationship between Phaedron and Alindras developed and the pace it progressed worked so well for them and the story (even if there were moments of frustration from me wanting them to open their eyes occasionally).
I got very emotionally invested in the character and rooting for them from the start. I’ve been really enjoying this series, and I would recommend it to fellow paranormal fantasy romance fans!

The Men of Eden Cove ManorThe Men of Eden Cove Manor by Naomi Valkyrie
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is a great paranormal book with a romance brewing between Lucifer and Mordecai. It’s a short read, but this doesn’t mean it’s lacking at all.
The story is written well, told from two points of view and the storyline itself is both entertaining and unique. It flowed nicely and was an easy read, perfect for a cosy autumn evening.
The characters are fun and the chemistry between them leaps off the page. The characters are distinct and well developed, and you can’t help but get emotionally invested in them. I loved Lucifer the most – determined and ‘chaotic’, Lucifer was great fun!
I do wish the story was longer, so that I could be immersed in the world and characters for longer but it’s great as it is. Well worth a read. I’ve read other books from the author and have never been disappointed, but this one if my favourite by far!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is a historical romance (one of my favourite genres) with an twist adding more genres which I absolutely adored! The combination of historical romance, mystery and paranormal was brilliant.
The author’s writing flowed nicely and the way it was written, from the descriptions to the narrative, did an excellent job of setting the scenes and allowing the reader to become immersed in the era and story. I enjoyed the storyline and the internal conflicts some of the characters faced. They felt believable and came across as relatable.
My favourite character was Vanessa. She wasn’t demure in the way is expected of the time. She knows what she wants and acts as she decides. I did like Jacob as well, I thought they were good together, but Vanessa stole my attention from the start.
A great read to have taken on holiday with me, I didn’t want to emerge from the book at all. I will be looking for more from this author, I’m now obsessed!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is the fourth book in the Buckeye Falls series. Books in this series can be read as standalones or out of order with no detriment to the stories told.
The writing flows nicely, making for easy and enjoyable reading from the beginning. The characters are well-written, strong and entertaining whilst being lovable. You can’t help but root for their successes.
In this book we follow the story of Alice and James, both looking for some peace and quiet in their lives and both with a form of issue which fake dating offers a remedy to. I really liked the character of Alice, there was something about her which just speaks to me. They’re both lovely characters and I couldn’t help my growing grin and celebrating as the story progressed.
This was a fun and sweet romantic read and I absolutely loved it. I really enjoy fake dating stories when done well and this one fits the bill!

Falling Again (Buckeye Falls #3)Falling Again by Libby Kay
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the third book in the Buckeye Falls series. The books in this series can be read out of order as they are able to be read as standalones.
This is an easy read, written in a way that is engaging and flows well. The characters are also well-written and likeable. I found the premise of the story unique and entertaining, rather than a brand-new romance, it’s about trying to save the love they have for each other. This makes their story relatable to many as people often try to reignite the spark and come back together as a couple when life gets in the way.
I truly felt for Natalie and Anthony, they clearly loved each other and finding their way back to themselves and each other is not an easy task at all. I was invested in them for the beginning and was desperately hoping they’d put the work in and not give up.

The emotional journey of the characters really appealed to me in this one. It was realistic and the emotions were there. I’m really enjoying this author’s work.

This is the second book in the Buckeye Falls series. This can be read as a standalone and or out of order of the series.
Once again, the author has written this book so that it flows nicely making for an easy read. The characters are well written and are memorable and feel real. I enjoyed both the characters of Cece and Evan, they were lovely characters who came together well.
Cece’s past and possible future collide in an unexpected way causing a setback for the pair and there were points I wanted to launch the book across the room in frustration. But as much as I wanted to knock sense into people, I couldn’t help but get emotionally invested and hope for the best outcome.
This was an enjoyable romance which has left me wanting more.
