A wonderful, very steamy romance. Gabriel and Celia were great characters for this story. They funny banter between the two was entertaining. Gabriel’s was very possessive for Celia but always cared and loved her, always made she she had what she needed and was well taken care of. Celia is a strong woman who keeps Gabriel on his toes. She tried to handle her past on her own but she found that she needed a little help and was grateful for it. They learned to trust one another completely. It was cute, funny, and super steamy! Would recommend!

Blood Sector is a great paranormal romance with two characters that are both stubborn. Quinn is trying to figure out what happened to her parents years ago when she meets Kieran. She fights her attraction for him for a very long time. Eventually, Quinn realizes that Kieran is her soulmate. I love the lore in this story about the different kinds of werewolves. I like when an author puts information in a novel that is unique to that world. Blood Sector is great for people who love werewolves and romance.

This book is completely outside of my usual comfort zone but it was something that caught my attention and I had to give it a go. It is the perfect eclectic mix of weird and relatable and it felt like there really was something for everyone within its pages. I really enjoyed the fact that I could dip in an out of this book, reading a poem or 2 here and there. It meant, for me, that it didn’t get old and I engaged with each entry I read. This is a new author to me as well but I enjoyed the way the poems were constructed. You could tell that a lot of thought and effort had gone into each of them. Although not my usual type of book I would definitely pick up another book by this author.

This book is about Alice and Reuben. I thought the book was written well. But, for some reason, I just couldn’t get into it. I put the book down, took a break, tried to start again. I’m usually Always Into a good bdsm book. This was Was just so long and drawn out. I really felt Like it was never going to end. I know characters always back a backstory but wow, didn’t need to know all that. About the characters….there were a lot of different characters in the book. Many of these characters all Know eachother, play together, respect eachother. There weren’t many characters I didnt like. I liked the idea of the book, the girl Who has mental issues, the guy who released all his subs after an accident. There’s just a whole lot inbetween that I felt was just To Much.

What a surprisingly steamy yet enjoyable book this turned out to be. I was easily pulled into the story and quickly became engaged in what was happening. I wanted to see how the connection between the characters would develop over time. I thought the connection between was strong. The book was carried on the back of the two of them and I thought they were a perfect fit for each other. The storyline was interesting. I wanted to find out more about what was going to happen, and I wanted to see how things would work out with the characters. This author always delivers on an entertaining book and this is just another one to add to her successful library. An enjoyable book I would highly recommend.

I enjoyed reading this historical romance story. This is my first book by this author and I look forward to reading more from her. This is a well written story about Lady Celia. She has some secrets that could ruin her so she seeks a husband. He has been watching her from the shadows. Will he convince her he is for her? I enjoyed watching their relationship grow throughout the story. They have great chemistry and they heat the pages fast. They made the story easy and entertaining to read. A fast paced story that had me coming back for more. I really enjoyed the steamy and verbal interactions. This is a great story that I highly recommend reading. You don’t want to miss what happens with these two for sure.

I love this series with a passion that burns within my heart! I can never get enough of the adventures this series takes me on, this one was no different, I was swept away with all this book brought to the table, and how the adventure that has been established, just grew into something even more legendary!
As always i loved this author’s writing, and how talented and creative the words that you read on the pages bring the story to life in the most amazing ways! This book specifically had a lot of character development, and I loved it concentrated on Kara. She brought her own spiciness to the table! The story progressed at a good pace, and you got to be intrigued and learn more of the adventure and the characters that it circled around! I loved this book from start to finish! Perfectly written! Loved it with all my heart!
The whole series is amazing, and this book alone brought a lot of awesomeness to the table I will say. i could not put this down, I was really swept away! Highly recommend this must read book and series!

Ermagherd!! What a way to leave me!! This book is a little more intense than its predecessors. I nearly choked on a gasp I wasn’t ready for and I gasped a lot. Fabulous writing! This book may have “Kara” in the title but it isn’t solely focused on her like Thorfinn and the Witch’s Curse focused on little Finn. And oh man! I thought everyone was split up before; but now, they’re even more split up as war comes and revenge seeking volvas exact a plan. I really loved the split view between Midgard the Realm Between during the war. Seeing the myths in action was especially epic. My heart is weeping for all of the loss that happened in this book and I will be ANXIOUSLY awaiting the next book to see where all of the Agneson clan ends up next.

Once you get into this book, it’s hard to put down. It has everything a good suspense story needs. Watching Fitz track down clues is so cool!! The twists and turns and take-no-shit attitude is amplified when it comes to finding answers for those who can’t do it for themselves.
Action and drama at every turn. You never know where the story is gonna go until you get there. I’m on the edge of my seat… Good stuff, I tell you!

This book was based on times and places where there were titles based on money. Gabriel was someone who stayed in the shadows and people looked down on him not knowing who he really was. He was connected with the right people from low and high society. All his time in the shadows he has been watching Celia, who has been in search of a husband. The passion that these two share with one another is off the charts. Celia has a history, a past, that no one knows about as it would shame her family. Gabriel can’t seem to stay away from her and is always saving her. His character is large and protective and fierce. Celia is stubborn and I love her character the more for it. These two have a story that’s worth reading and the end is worth it all the more. I will warn you there were some triggering moments for me based on my past but I kept reading due to the love Gabriel showed Celia and the understanding the two have for one another.

This quick read is the 5th book in the Hawke series. It was easily read in one sitting and I was excited to read more about the big guy. Saint and Caroline make a good couple and I enjoyed them.
As with all shorter books it’s kind of hard to get to know the characters in depth. For me what was missing was there was hardly any background information about Saint or Caroline and so it felt like it was missing something. I’m used to getting a lot of background information in this series which helps me connect to the characters even more.
The authors writing style is still just as good as it always is and I enjoyed the part about Caroline and her assignment as well as the new avenue that Saint is going into. I enjoyed that it helps us delve a little further into the Luca situation which I assume is going to be wrapped up in the last book. While I didn’t enjoy this book as much as the previous books I still found it very enjoyable and can’t wait to finish out the series.

What a Story! I loved the characters as well as the storyline. It almost a ripped from the headlines piece. I was shocked, surprised and even laughed or smirked while reading. It is a fast paced story that easily kept my interest.
The characters in here are smart and witty. It was wonderful watching the FBI agent grow and change while the story moved along. I enjoyed her rigid by the book attitude but it was nice to see her loosen up mow and then. Angie’s ordeal..just Wow! I was pleased to see her become stronger as the story progressed. This does have a few secret guests that bring witty banter and eye rolling to the forefront. I liked that the author did not put these two to the front but rather treated them like secondary characters. They did not steal the show but helped enhance the other characters.
Overall this is an eye opener about abductions. The title says it all! I highly recommend this author and this book. It kept me on my toes and gave a look inside the minds of the victim, the police and the kidnapper.

The exciting adventures, of the now scattered, Agneson clan continues in this fourth novel of the series, and it’s as enjoyable as the previous ones. This epic series set in the Viking Age, but with added fantasy elements, is yet again brought vividly to life by the descriptive narrative, making me feel immersed in the story. The storyline mainly focuses on Kara, who is fleeing an arranged marriage, and with dreams of becoming a warrior, she escapes across the narrow sea. Kara gains a place within the king of Dublinn’s ranks, but must prove her worth, and soon she realises that, being a warrior is not what she expected. Elsewhere, Cub has joined Rollo’s horde in Britany, having escaped from slavery, and his outlawed brother Sorven, is fighting for his life in the Welsh mountains. Meanwhile, Uncle Karl and his warriors rally to Harald Tanglehair, in the hopes of unifying the wild kingdoms of the North Way. Young Thorfinn has been left safely behind, secure in a tiny fishing village, or so everyone thinks, he has in fact been kidnapped by an 8-armed giant! It’s nice being back with the main characters from the series, as they feel like old friends now. I would recommend reading the books in order, for a better understanding of the characters and the plot. As usual the historical details add to the sense of time and place. This is a real page turner which had me gripped, and I’m looking forward to book five.

When I started reading this book I had no idea that it was the 4th book in a series. Thankfully, each book can be read as a standalone. Although I now want to go back and read and those that I have missed, particularly Robbie and Janet’s story. I certainly didn’t feel like that I was missing any important information that was necessary for the story. I absolutely loved this story and I only have 1 little bad thing to say about the book. Although the characters speak a lot of Scottish words, I have to say that having lived in Glasgow for all 51 years of my life, Glaswegian’s do not say ‘ya Ken’. This is a very Scottish saying but not used in Glasgow. It’s very much used in the East coast. But this is only a very minor point. I loved reading the Scottish words used for the most part. So getting away from 1 wee silly point, I absolutely loved Phillip and Anna’s story. I love a fake romance story, watching the couple try to fight their real feelings for each other. Phillip and Anna are both amazing characters that I fell in love with. Phillip is totally different from the character that he tries to portray himself as. He’s not the stiff upper class person that he comes across as. There’s so much more to him. Anna is just awesome. As Phillip described her several times – she’s a breath of fresh air. She certainly has none of the airs and graces that the girlfriend of an Earl should have. She’s so down to earth and says exactly what she thinks which makes for some very funny entertaining reading. Do not let my 1 little moan put you off reading this story, it’s definitely worth the 5 stars I’ve given it.

Holy crap he did it AGAIN…this is the Third story in the Forerunner Series. You will definitely want to read these in order. I am a huge fan of Robert Jordans wheel of time series, if he had written about Vikings instead of high fantasy, this would have been it. Not to compare two authors, but for the sake of how much I LOVE the Wheel of Time series, this is a blooming favorite series that I hope continues on.
Finn and his Agneson Clan pick right back up in the midst of their journeys; character development, world building, good vs. evil are even more intense than the last book (if that’s possible!!!) There are plenty more the hidden folk, even a dragon makes an appearance. This is such a superb fantastical twist on Viking history. I’m not big into mythology, but there are quite a few references to Norse Gods intertwined with the humans lives.
Between the spiritual connections, human based rivalries and Politics, family ties, human trafficking, detailed accounts of history, and so much more you really will be able to sink your teeth into this. It can be a little difficult for me to keep up with all the unique names and places, I start to gloss over those parts a little bit. But now with the introduction of Kara I find myself immediately bonding with a character for the first time in this series, which is super exciting!!!
The good thing about this novel especially, is despite the maturing story lines, Jay creates an environment that can be fun and at times silly. Seriously can’t wait to read the fourth book in this series. Thank you for another amazing read!

This was a very dark book. Please read trigger warnings before starting. This was a very heavy book. It throws you into the BDSM world and is tastefully done. The romance that blossoms between Rueben and Alice is nothing short of amazing. Mental health matters in all aspects of relationships and life.

Ashes of Sin and Stardust (AnchorX) by Lindsay Murray. This book was very steamy. Its the story of Reuben who has dreamed of his submissive for 24 years. He knows exactly what she’s going to look like and is beyond ready to find her. Alice’s life has not been easy, losing her sister due to her negligence and living with a abusive father hasn’t made life fun. She’s finally given up on being a submissive because not one of the men have followed thru with their promises to her. When she meets Reuben at the Cullowhee Club she thinks she might have found the one! Reuben knows he’s found the one he just has to tame her some. Alice isn’t one to be bossed around without talking back so Reuben wasn’t expecting that but is loving it. Read about the submissive/dom lifestyle and watch Alice and Reuben fall in love.

This author has created an outstanding series. This is book 4 and it is full of almost everything you could want about Vikings. The author is very knowledgeable about the subject and it shows in the writing. Kara is one strong, brave and courageous woman. She has had to be during the war. It was great to read about Cub and Finn. I really enjoyed reading about Kara’s adventures. The book is exciting, has unexpected twists and turns. The characters are well-developed, even down to the soldiers without white. I feel like I’m reading a history book with fun. Learning and enjoying reading, two benefits that I have received from this series. I will be eagerly awaiting the next installment. I highly recommend this series. You will want to start with book 1.

“Danger lurks around every corner for a beautiful woman. Especially young, wealthy, beautiful women. There is always someone eager to take advantage….” This truly sums up the story of Celia and Gabriel. A story of love, lust, romance and danger. Gabriel, doesn’t view himself as worthy of marriage for Celia. Celia is a high-spirited woman carrying baggage that she doesn’t share with anyone…and she often finds herself in trouble. The chemistry in this story could burn down the barn. Their sexy flirting is what keeps you laughing because they just need to admit (not so easy to do for the time period). As some may say, Celia should have been born in another period. She’s noone’s property. The story is well-developed with two storylines that intertwine nicely with no glitches. There is even a plot twist or too. A quick, fun read with a bit of steam.

PHENOMENAL! This suspenseful story knocked my socks off. I was not expecting that. I loved the twists and turns. The narration was a tad monotone. A little more excitement and variation in the voices would have made this perfect. A plot full of action and twists, slimy characters that you love to hate, even ones you thought you’d love but found out they suck too. This story is worth the listen.

Kara, Shieldmaiden of Eire is the fourth compelling book in this historical Forerunner series. This tale has everything to delight paranormal/fantasy lovers.
With a myriad of creatures Jay’s vivid narrative, you are drawn in to the actin and adventures across Midgard and the nine realms and more. The story has mythology, Vikings, hardships, violence, epic battles, danger, drama, mystery, and so much more. Jay cleverly weaves all the threads together to ensure the reader becomes one with the adventure and feel for these interesting characters. The world building is carefully crafted and a magical place where the unexpected is the norm.
Jay’s knowledge and passion for Norse mythology and Vikings adds another element that gives us an engaging and epic tale. I also like that Jay is interested what readers think of his work and is thankful for the reviews left.

This is the fourth book in the Forerunner Series. I have loved all these stories from the beginning. They are packed full of action and adventure and the characters are so well written that you feel like you are viewing their lives as it happens. The books are aimed at young adults, however I have found them all enjoyable. I do recommend reading the series from the beginning as some characters from past books make appearances and it give the characters more depth when you know what they have gone through to get to where we find them. The stories are historical fiction and the authors attention to detail and research of the times is what really brings the stories to life for me.
This story mainly focuses around Kara. She is an amazingly strong and determined woman. In a time where women were meant to just marry and be happy Kara set out to destroy that notion from the beginning. After fleeing an arranged marriage she tries her hand by trying for the Dublin guard. When she proves her worth on the battle field to be as good as any man her life seems set on the course she wants.

This book is a historical romance with a sexy steamy twist. The author does an amazing job of setting the scenes and the story along the lines of the time but by injecting some sexual chemistry between the characters making this one story I couldn’t put down.
Gabriel Rose is the illegitimate son of a nobleman but because of this is he has a lower standing in society. However he has his eye on a particular lady, even though he should. He can’t deny his attraction to Lady Celia Buchanan. Knowing that his affection and attraction to her isn’t allowed he has turned away and kept his distance until things change and what was thought impossible becomes possible.
Lady Celia has secrets of her own. She is a very strong, determined young woman, who because of circumstances in her past has become a bit of a flirt. She feels an attraction to Gabriel, there is something about the dark mysterious man that keeps drawing her in. Will the secrets he hold be enough to heal her pain and make her feel whole again? Or will the fact of his parentage or lack of mean that their connection can never be?
This story is beautifully written, you really get a feel for the era and how society viewed certain things such as a woman being a flirt and a man with interests on a lady above his social standing. The way the character come together and their personalities beautifully complement each other and takes this romance to another level.

You will want to read these in order. This sequel is the perfect follow up to “Thorfinn and the Witch’s Curse”. Jump into this new read, as Finn dives deeper into his destiny. I am 100% terrible with names, places, and understanding history, so to be able to pick up a book that makes history just a little bit easier to understand is such a savory treat.
The author continues this ride with plenty of character building, world development, and plot twists. It almost feels like we (the readers) are on the same understanding as Finn is, and as he grows with his Clan, we too are getting a better understanding of his mission and just how to get there. There are new characters, folk legends, and quests to be had. I love that being a Viking novel, Jay doesn’t disappoint. Between the blood feuds, revenge, oath making, family ties, and the challenges each character faces, this really isn’t a cookie cutter story.
This adventure is super in-depth, each character’s story can swallow you up whole and spit you out right in the middle of a feud. Will Finn find victory against his rivals, and can he and his clan hold their spot in history? If you are a fan of Vikings, fantasy, YA, dark intrigue, or the like then you definitely will want to check this one out.

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.

This is the fantastic first book in a new series. If this book is anything to go by then this is a series that I’m going to read over again. I’ll definitely read this book again as I was totally engrossed in this story. I had only previously read 1 book by this author and this is something that I’ll need to remedy as I also gave that book 5 stars. This is a second chance romance with a difference as Wesley has no memory of Addison due to a horrific beating that he was given, which caused memory loss. It has to be noted that there are scenes of violence which some readers may find difficult to read. I adored Addison and Wesley’s story. I was gripped from the beginning. Even though it’s a bit of a slow burner to begin with, it was still totally invested in their story and did not want to put it down. How dare real life get in the way and make you stop reading. I loved that this book is a bit longer than a lot of books I read as I got more chance to lose myself in this fantastic love story. The author has done a fantastic job in creating these characters and weaving a fantastic story for them. Definitely 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.

Oh my goodness what’s not to like about his book !? It’s starts with a quote from Lizzy Bennet Darcy so I was already sold ❣️📕
I was in stitches before I even paged my first page “ Sexy underwear or granny panties …” 😂😂😂😂 and then Belle , Eliza’s best friend teases her about her choice of books and the fact that she’s actually packing books on a trip and well I must say I’m very much like Eliza there ❣️📕😉
The characters are just loveable and quirky from aunts and uncles to cooks and friends they all just have this way to climb into your heart and make you smile and wonder .
There’s was more than just giggles though there was a mystery and family secrets that kept me guessing and on my toes and all is not as it seems 😉
We can’t forget the romance either can we !? ❣️There we’re endless cups of teas and delectable treats to have with these lovely folk …
I read some critique about this book and I was saddened because there’s so much to love about this read ❣️📕and I just want more !!!!
