I enjoyed this romance story. This is my first book by this author which I look forward to seeing what is next for them. I enjoyed how I was pulled into the story from the start by the characters. They are strong, supportive and relatable which just added to the story. I enjoyed watching their growth throughout. This is a fast paced story that was written with a lot of heart and it shines through with the characters. This is a well written story that has great chemistry and emotional parts. A story where romance could be a second chance but also forgiveness for betrayal. A story that is easy, entertaining to read and just hard to put down. The growth of the plot added to the story which had me coming back for more. I really enjoyed reading this book and I highly recommend it.
Master Sergeant Kurt Allendorf is living with survivor’s guilt and regret. The regret is different. He regretted walking away from her, the only woman for him. Kurt knew that his lifestyle and the scars that he was left with after his time in the military made him wrong for her. He didn’t even know where she was or how to find her. Did he want to find her? Could he handle knowing that she couldn’t love him or would it break him?
Arely Bernal needed a change in her life after all the tragedy. Accidents claimed the lives of her father and brother, cancer claimed her mother years later. Arely tries to restart her life in a new city with a new job. On a random day when she is leaving her job, she is kidnapped. Luckily, she and the others she finds herself confined with were rescued. Arely relies on her childhood friend for a safe place to hide out. By chance, Arely decides to apply for a job at a club, soon discovering that Kurt is a co-owner. Arely continues to face threats from the kidnappers. Kurt’s protective and dominant sides show as he designates himself as Arely’s protector.
This book moves fast and keeps you guessing. You think you know and then you don’t know, and then blam!!! The twists are worth it. The heat and steam will curl your pages or melt your screen. Even though this book is long, it felt like it was a quick read. I was hooked and didn’t want to put it down. I couldn’t believe it ended so quickly. Amazing story. I enjoyed this book a great deal!!

I thoroughly enjoyed this engaging small town mystery which kept me entertained from start to finish. The storyline has a great mix of murder mystery, life in suburbia, drama and suspense, and a bit of romance, all of which had me hooked. Elizabeth Candew is newly divorced, has a mountain of bills, a dwindling bank balance, and is arguing with her ex husband over him paying, or rather not paying, child support. Elizabeth believes her luck is changing when she meets the glamorous and seemingly reputable Louisa Davenport. When Louisa tells her about a business opportunity, Elizabeth thinks her financial problems are over, and so uses her credit card to invest in the business. However, when she arrives for a training session with Louisa, she discovers that she has been murdered, and Elizabeth can’t get a refund. Making things even more stressful for Elizabeth, is the fact that the detective assigned to the murder case is an old high school boyfriend, who broke her heart and then left town. Elizabeth also has her own ideas as to who murdered Louisa. This was a great read, the storyline and plot twists kept me guessing and I found it hard to put this book down. I loved Elizabeth as the main character, who was likeable and relatable and brought the story together. The setting was brought to life through the descriptive narrative and I really felt immersed in the story. I loved the use of humour throughout the novel, giving it a light touch. I found this to be a real page turner, and one which I definitely recommend reading.

After reading the prequel I was really looking forward to starting this book, and picked it up immediately. This book was just as good as that one, just more detailed and with even more excitement. The story is a bit of a slow build, the author developing it bit by bit, but I found that just drew me in more. I wanted to get further into the story and I really wanted to read more about EmVee. As the second book in the series this has made me more excited about what is to come. The author is creating a strong and interesting series and I can’t wait to see where that takes us.

This is a great prequel story and it was really good to be able to add it to the series. I loved the new perspective it gave and the extra detail it provided. The book was well written and really easy to engage with. I was pleased that I read this first as it gave me a bit more of an expectation for the next book and it caught my attention enough to want to read that straight way. The author has created a book that, for me, is a brilliant example of a prequel done well.

This is a really heartwarming and beautifully written romance. I loved the authors writing style and the characters. Corrie is such a strong and determined character who’s love for her family and her faith in things being the way the should be keeps her moving forwards no matter the odds against her.
When she returns back to the family farm to help after her father’s accident it’s not somewhere Corrie saw herself returning too. But farming runs in her blood and even though she is overwhelmed she fits back into farm life as if she never left. When she is left needed help the brother of her ex flame offers her help. This bring her old flame Luke back into her life, wanting to rekindle things, however with his past betrayals this isn’t possible for Corrie.
When things start to get worse with her parents marriage, the stress of the farm and the younger siblings and someone from their past out for revenge she turns to Lukes brother Aaron. But when feelings of friendship turns into attraction it just adds another complicated situation to an already complicated life.
You will fall in love with this story and characters and you will be inspired by Corrie’s determined nature to make sure she does what is right by everyone she cares for, even when things are against her.
My rating: 4 of 5 stars Lovely story, but not really enemies to lovers. I found myself bored at times and really struggled to finish it. It was just festival after festival, all they did was celebrate the saints and celebrate the seasons and that’s IT. I felt like there was not really any villain, until the end. I had never read a historical fiction book that was heavy on the history, but you could definitely tell that the author really did research, and I appreciated the nods to our current holidays like Halloween. I found a lot of their practices to be very interesting, like the process for giving birth. What I DID like was how real the author made everything. Like the MC’s first time having sexual relations. It wasn’t all lovely and rosy and perfect like they make it seem in the movies or romance novels. I also did really like the MC, she was very smart and had a way with words that was *chef’s kiss*. And you can really see the love between her and Sir William, they are a very cute couple and I found myself gushing over them. They really are couple goals, always having each other’s back and on the rare occasion they got into a lover’s quarrel, they handled it very maturely. Overall, I gave it 4 stars because although I found the book boring at times, others who actually do really like historical fiction would probably really like it, and it was a good book.

This book was a really sweet read and one that I really enjoyed. When I first read the synopsis I wasn’t sure it would be my kind of story and worried I wouldn’t connect with the characters but I was wrong on both things! I will say that it wasn’t that instant connection but I grew to care about the characters over the story. I liked Paige, she clearly loved her job and it was important to her, the author certainly got that across well and she seemed like a genuinely nice person. I actually really liked the fact that Mark was a billionaire but not your typical one I would normally read about – it actually made for a refreshing change. There were a few slower parts in the story but as a whole I really did enjoy it and would definitely recommend to others!

A story told from many perspectives makes this an interesting read. You’ll want to keep reading as it keeps you laughing throughout. This is a book like I’ve never read before.

I enjoyed this book a lot, made for a great afternoon read. Billionaire romance is a small guilty pleasure in reading of mine so this was up my alley. I liked these two main characters as they brought the chemistry and a good story with them. I was kept along from beginning to end and now I will be watching for the next book in this series .

A heartwarming contemporary romance which had me hooked from start to finish. Corrie Lancaster moves back to the family farm following her father’s accident, just in time to help with the harvest. When the farm’s hired hand quits, and with a bumper wheat crop needing harvesting, Corrie has to accept the help of Aaron Tuttle, her ex boyfriend’s older brother. Corrie soon starts to lean on Aaron for emotional support, as she’s busy with the farm and harvesting, but also looking after her younger siblings and having to watch her parents marriage crumble. Unfortunately, Corrie learns that her ex boyfriend, Luke isn’t over her, and when he apologises for the past and attempts to rekindle their romance, she must decide between the two brothers. When everything is finally under control, a stranger arrives at the farm asking for shelter, and an old nemesis returns looking for revenge. Corrie must decide which man she loves and who’s love will restore her faith. Corrie is a likeable and relatable heroine of this novel, who brings the story together. I love the connection between her and Aaron and enjoyed seeing how their relationship developed throughout the story, especially with the complication of Luke reappearing. The storyline had me gripped and I found this book hard to put down down. It took me on an emotional rollercoaster whilst reading it, and I felt immersed in farm life, as the setting was brought to life by the descriptive narrative. A real page turner, which I definitely recommend reading.

Angie Taylor was out with her three friends for the night, wrapping up a good time when they are all taken. Angie is the only one who got out alive. What should have been an investigation into who too them turns into Angie being put in a mental hospital and the police believing she killed her friends.
Brenda Reynolds is an FBI agent for the VRST who believes there is more to Angie’s case then what the police surmised. The only problem she has in figuring out what happened to Angie is Angie, she has not spoke since being admitted. Can Brenda come up with a plan to help Angie and figure out who is behind her abduction and friends murder?
I enjoyed this book. When reading a suspense/thriller I am always looking for a book that gives me pause so I can try and figure out what is going to happen. This book had quite a few twists, very good book.

A few years have passed since someone tried to kill her. EmVee and her dad have been on the run ever since, trying to run from their problems but now it is catching up.
When her father disappears, she finds out about his debt and favor being collected.
A glance of Kayden can’t be good either. With nowhere to run and unsure who to trust, EmVee goes to find out who is after her and her father.
I noticed that the author has more books in this series. There were so many twists and turns as well as emotional parts of the story that surprised me but I enjoyed the novel.
I’m not sure where the story is going next but I can’t wait to find out,

EmVee moves to the middle of nowhere town of NewPort. Her parents won’t tell her the reason for the sudden move. Although EmVee is curious, she also decides to reinvent herself as the new girl at a new school. She meets various other students including football players Silas and Kayson, Megan who talks a lot and Rachel, a girl who works at her parent’s gym.
Secrets start to be revealed, when athletes are murdered and cheerleaders goes missing. In the midst, is a mystery of who is trying to attack EmVee’s family. She takes it upon herself to find out.
I was pleasantly surprised. Within the first couple of chapters, I was hooked. I know why it is part of the Vigilante series after reading this. The groundwork for this seems solid and I am looking forward to seeing what happens next.

This was definitely strange, unique and a story unlike any I have read before. The chapters are short and entertaining, making the story very fast paced. There isn’t a chance to connect with the characters but doesn’t take away from any of the uniqueness of this story. The Cool Thing: A Dark Comedy. Or Not, is truly that….a dark comedy…or not. You will just have to read the book yourself to form your own opinion.

What a wild ride!! I went into this book blind. I just noticed the cover and gave it a shot. Book had me drawn in from the very first page and I’m so glad I read it! The intenseness, the drama!!! I loved it! The characters were amazing! The book was amazing! The entire story was just so good. It’s a page turner and I read it in one sitting! I couldn’t put it down. I couldn’t imagine going through what Angie has went through. It’s extremely messed up!!! And it honestly makes me terrified because it could happen to anyone! But still a good read! I definitely recommend!

I have deep respect for books which are centered around World War II. They bring out the pain and trauma faced by the people during one of the most horrific times on this planet. This book is a coming of age story of a young girl Michelle, except this does not involve any dates, fashion dresses or admiring eyes. This is a story of a young girl whose family had to endure Nazi soldiers in their home for 4 years. The Letter Carrier is based on the true life of Michelle Naget whose family lived in France, when the Nazis invaded their country and took over their homeland for 4 years. They prayed everyday that the Allies will come rescue them, there is still hope and light at the end of the tunnel. Their unwavering faith in God and the family motto “We do what must be done” helped Michelle sail through those difficult times. The author has done extensive research about Michelle’s life , she spent three years with the lady herself to understand the facts and her life better and pen it down on paper. Huge respects to the author, Michelle and everyone who survived those terrible times during WW II.

Suspenseful, intriguing page-turner This is my first from this author and I really enjoyed the storyline. The delivery was a bit full on as there were many parts to the story. The main characters were well developed and the story very detailed. There’s romance, angst, mystery, drama, lots of action and suspenseful moments. Looking forward to the next instalment.

Amber Waves of Grace is a Contemporary Romance/ Inspirational story about finding your true purpose and unexpected love. There’s plenty of drama along the way to keep you glued to the pages. What a heart-warming yet heart breaking story that will have your emotions all over the place. This author is a fairly new author to me and I’m hooked and will definitely be checking out what other books she has written. Her wonderfully written story along with great characters makes it hard not to love. Corrie has returned home to help out her family out. Her father was injured in a accident and its harvest time. Corrie needs to hire some help and with not many choices she takes on her ex-boyfriend’s older brother Aaron. What will happen when certain obstacles occur and old feelings get involved? I absolutely loved reading this book and highly recommend reading to find out what happens next. I can’t wait to read more from this Author.

What a wonderful read. Corrie Lancaster is one very strong young woman. She is trying so hard to look after her family farm after her dads accident and its that inner strength and family loyalty that makes it hard for her to accept help. That is until Aaron Tuttle comes along. He is the older brother of an old boyfriend which brings back lots of hurtful memories but there is just something about him that she can’t resist. Again and again she is tested when things go wrong but Aaron is there for her each and every time. The question is can she let go of her past with his brother to build a future together with Aaron. This truly is a heartfelt, beautifully written story that needs to be read!

Bobbi is simultaneously trying to gain the respect of her partner, fight her attraction to detective Buckley and catch the perpetrator before he strikes again.

Dunn – Review by Charlisa Wahtomy-Alba
This was the first book I ever read by LM Preston, and it honestly sucked me in within the first couple of chapters. She does such an amazing job building the background of the story and getting the reader invested in the characters. EmVee and her family have recently moved from New York to a “middle of nowhere country town” of NewPort. Her parents are very secretive on why they suddenly moved. While EmVee is confused and slightly curious about the sudden move and the hush her parents have around it she becomes focused on school and “who” she wants to be.
In a new town EmVee finds herself wanting to reinvent herself in her new little town at her new school. She wants to be a “girly-girl” to the extent that she’s not in fights and being seen as another one of the guys. On the first day of school a whirlwind of things happens for EmVee. She meets two of the local football players, Kayson and Silas, both of whom seem to like her already. Though she is instantly drawn to Silas. In history class she meets Megan, a chatter mouth that loves to spread all the news she can. Meets Rachel, a fellow student that works at her parents’ gym, who becomes her first female best friend. Goes to the local club that Megan invited her too, dragging Rachel along so she’s not alone with the hard to be around Megan. While inside EmVee meets another football player, Grady, only to later discover his murder scene in the woods outside the club. After the current events and stories Megan has told her EmVee becomes more and more concerned about why her family suddenly moved when she finds contracts that tie her parents’ gym, the local club, Club Fixation, and a secret underground lab all seem to be related. Ten murdered athletes, ten missing cheerleaders, the secrets come out and shock you. After being attacked EmVee and her family are given a chance to escape NewPort. Until her family’s vehicle goes off the side of a bridge. She is saved and told her family is being helped but she has one goal. To find who is responsible and kill them.
The story, the ending, the details. Everything. If you love a mystery with twists and turns that you can’t put down, this introduction to the Vigilant series is highly recommended. I can’t wait to read Book One, Caged Fire, and see what happens next.

I LOVE historical fiction and actively seek to read all the stories I can about WWII. Most deal directly with Germany and viewpoints from those imprisoned in concentration camps. Every once in a while, you find one about another occupied country, written about someone who lived through it. These books are transfixing, heartbreaking, and full of hope all at the same time. The thing is, many countries (Italy and France particularly) were victims of destroyed documents. Those stories that can be corroborated after much deep digging – often are hard to tell and we are very quickly losing the remaining people who can tell the tale. So, when something like this comes along it is brilliant and brave and wrecking, and touching.
The Letter Carrier is nothing short of all of this. It takes place in occupied France during the war and is a true testament to the depravity wrought by the Third Reich and living conditions of those involved. The author does a tremendous job of transporting you to Braquis – bringing sharp focus to the unthinkable things no one should have to live through, and capturing part of your heart in return. I wept for Michelle and her family more than once, but through faith and hope, they lived to tell the tale. Hopefully this serves as a reminder how fragile life is, and brings light to dark times lest we fail to learn from and tragically repeat these lessons.
L.C. Lewis is a poignant writer with a knack for carrying the emotions through the page. I felt what the characters were feeling. I got a sense of an oft skipped over perspective of the war and how truly young kids had to grow up faster than they should have. I am forever grateful to L.C. for capturing the spirit of Michelle, and being able to tell her tale. Brava!

This was a well written first book and a new author to me. The synopsis is what initially got my attention and I was intrigued enough to want to read this story. It started off with action and I wondered what kind of demon hunter I was reading about. Of course being a fan of the long running TV show Supernatrual I had a few ideas in mind about how she would vanquish these beings, but it was nothing like that. The simple yet effective method the author put forth made me do a double take, haha. Normally Rovens’s duty is to kill a demon, but when she is sent to find out why a Marked was killed and who did it she accidentally brings the body back to life with a new soul. She doesn’t know exactly how it happened as she doesn’t quite know the full extent of her powers or why they only work sometimes. Instead of hunting demons and offing them she is now tasked with keeping one alive. Will she be able to gain the trust of her sworn enemy? Or will the enemy turn out to be her downfall?

I cannot say enough good things about this author or this book in particular!
I have not read this author before now and now I am hooked! I cannot get enough! I also cannot wait for the next book in this series.
The intensity of this book just jumps off the pages! The emotions of each character is so vividly felt and the story line has a hook from start to finish! There are villains, crime and mystery… just what every good story needs!

This book was AWESOME! Going back and forth between crazy, hilarious, and dark humor kept me turning the page until wee hours in the morning. I laughed out loud in several parts of this book and love the way the vivid details captured my attention. There’s spooky, whacky, and sci-fi suspense with characters that had me shaking my head at times. Even though the characters are messed up themselves, I couldn’t help but laugh at the misfortunes each one went through. This is unique writing that I can’t wait to read more of! It reminds me of Stephen King mixed with Kurt Vonnegut and Thomas Pynchon. An amazing book and I can’t wait to read more from Robert Rife!

Ritual Obsession by R.L Dunn is the first in the series and so very well thought out! I really enjoyed this book and all that the author spun into the tale! Mystery, Thriller, Suspense, and Romance all rolled into one where tensions are high while a city is in crisis. I could not put this book down! It was perfect to curl up with and get lost in! Well thought out, and well executed, where I was on the edge of my seat more than once!
