I enjoyed this. My first book from this author. I really enjoy dystopian books, and this was far different that all the action packed others I’ve read. It was like a nice walk through the woods. It was a quick read, not entirely disappointed, with it was a bit longer.

Once again, I was hooked from the beginning. I found myself lost in this book. The character detail is so amazing. The author knows how to get your attention and keep you wanting more.

Collateral Damage: A Second Chance Mafia Romance (Mafia Elite Book 6)Collateral Damage: A Second Chance Mafia Romance by Amy McKinley
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Collateral Damage is a great addition to the Mafia Elite series. This sixth book tells us the story of Trey and Hailey. Hailey is a down to earth girl in a rich girl world. She doesn’t fit in and since losing her sister and dad in a car accident, she has struggled to find her place of acceptance. Trey is an ER doctor and also holds commitments to the Five Families as the mafia doc on call. He’s a busy man with no room for love until he reconnects with Hailey, his sister Sofia’s acquaintance. Trey steps into a kidnapping and ransom plot when Hailey’s stepdad, Allen, asks for his help in relocating her. Trey takes Hailey into his protection and in doing so changes the course of both their lives with an undeniable mutual attraction. This was a good addition and I like getting more storylines from the supporting family members in the Five Families. I love the family dynamic and the willingness to go the extra mile for those you love. I’ve read all the books in this series and I highly recommend them. They can be read as standalone books or start from the beginning. Great book, even better series!

  1. Collateral Damage: A Second Chance Mafia Romance (Mafia Elite Book 6)Collateral Damage: A Second Chance Mafia Romance by Amy McKinley
    My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Mafia bad boy with a hefty side of sweet & kindness. Trey is by far the kindest, most down to earth mafia man in the family. [IMO] That’s what stands out the most to me to start about this book. Then we have Hailey who is the bomb! She has the perfect combination of being super fierce, smart, brave, a side of bad@ss-ery, and being strong. Perfect match! They go through roller coasters and some situations but as always the family comes together and they handle what they need to. There was a few moments where I thought, oh I know how this is going to play out, and who is the real
villain, but in the end I was pretty off. So you might think you know but you don’t! This book kept me on my toes, and had me counting down the minutes until I could continue reading it! (When I would be at work). Can’t wait for more!!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I’d previously heard wonderful things about this author’s work, and I’m thrilled I finally listened and chose one of their books. Little did I know that I would get hooked so quickly. It was so difficult to put this book down, so I just didn’t! Angelina is a young artist living with her best friend in the city just living her best life, despite her friend insisting that she put herself out there and find a man. Angelina has her own plans, and a relationship with just any guy is last thing on her mind. What is heavily on her mind is the steamy dreams she has been experiencing of two sexier than sin men. Her world gets quickly turned upside down when she is abducted by an evil demon. She is saved just in time by none other than the men from her dreams and her whole life changes forever at that point forward. Next comes action, tragedy, steamy romance, and a fantasy world of magic. Don’t skip over this book any longer!

This book is number three in it’s series. BUT it very well may be read as a STANDALONE!! I really, really enjoyed it! So much so that I am going back to read books one and two NOW!! Such a well written romance story. The story line draws you in and quick too, to where you most certainly WILL NOT want to set aside until finished. Highly recommend this story, when you have time to finish too, It’s GREAT!!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This was a fun 5 star read.
We learn right from the beginning just what kind of men Bree seems to be attracting. She once again strikes out and calls her best friend. Her friend encourages Bree to take tennis lessons and try to meet some other people. Bree has a brief encounter with a man while getting chinese takeout, great accent but he looked athletic, a hard no for her. When she goes to her tennis lesson, fate steps in and she sees the man again, Nate. She makes it very clear to Nate that she is not interested in dating him. She also meets Steven who seems to meet all of what she is looking for in a man. Has she finally found the one? Or is she pushing “the one” away?

Overall this was an enjoyable read, the characters were great. I really liked Bree and her best friend was a great secondary character. I quickly had a favorite between the two men and was hoping she picked him. The author does a great job with her writing, she pulls you right into the story. I was happy with the ending and I look forward to reading more from this author. 1- click and get started today on this great read.

Close to Perfect was a fun, fast paced read that really showed the trials and tribulations of the dating world. I really liked Bree as a main character and felt that above all else, she was relatable. Who hasn’t had “enough” bad experiences to swear they’re “never” doing that again? I really enjoyed the growth of Bree throughout the storyline and the way the author’s writing just flowed. While this is a part of a series, I thought it read really well as a standalone and I never had difficulty keeping up. I would definitely recommend this book, especially as the summer months are coming and everyone is looking for a good beach read!

What do you do when you’ve hit a dating slump? Bree has been burned by one guy too many men, jocks in particular. She has set herself a list of rules to follow, but rules are meant to be broken right? Nate is an athlete which she swears she will no longer date. Steven on the other hand is goal orientated and career focused. Who will she choose?

I related to this story completely. Having a type of man that I date repeatedly, get hurt, and wonder what I am doing wrong. Bree decides to make a check list to date differently and find her happy ever after. Will that be enough? Will her true love be Nate? No, that can’t be, he is just like the others. Will her true love be Steven? He is different, but will he make her heart flutter? I felt all the emotions right along with Bree and rooted as she found the path to her HEA.

This was a cute story overall. My only qualm is that the Main character is revealed to be African American weirdly. Other than that I enjoyed the story. I loved feeling like I was on the journey with Bree. She’s a force of nature. Educated, in charge of her mind, body and beliefs. She’s a hard worker and she doesn’t settle for less than she deserves I appreciate that the characters were well rounded. Nate is a dream. He’s so patient and understanding. I felt he was genuine from their first encounter. With the couple navigating their differences and meeting a bit of resistance to their interracial relationship I thought the issues being brought up were realistic. The ending made me tear up a bit. I love happy endings. I highly recommend this book.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is a retelling of 3 historical stories with a fresh twist and perspective. I loved the unique spins on classics. I had heard versions of 2 of the 3 of them, but it was still interesting to read a new version. I was drawn to read this book because I love mythology and I love when stories are retold by different character POV. I found these stories easy to read and full of adventure, independence, courage, and determination. If you enjoy a good monsters vs gods story, this book will be worth reading.

What a unique and interesting story. It was not at all what I expected when I started reading it but I found myself easily invested in what was happening. I thought the story was riveting – it was full of suspense and intrigue, the paranormal element just adding to that. The characters really fit with this style of story, adding to it in the best way possible.
This is the first book that I have read by this author and I was really taken with the writing style. It didn’t matter that this book were the second in the series the author still managed to get my attention. I will definitely be reading the first book and any more than come.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I just finished this novel, and boy oh boy, I have already purchased the first installment in this series and really appreciate her writing style and the methods in which she conveys the characters feelings and thoughts throughout. I have been switching through different genres as of late, and this one really did the trick when it came to my need for a suspenseful read. Avery very much has built all her walls up to not be hurt, or to not hurt others as there are a few things that come up that would certainly have her feeling like it was a necessity.

Enter Luys, who has had this insatiable need to get to know Avery since the moment he laid eyes on her. Lucky for him, he gets to play the protector and wants to keep her safe from everyone and anyone. As the twists and turns build, this gets impossibly more difficult, and Avery isn’t sure which way is up for most of this crazy maze of an adventure. There is a whole lot of suspense, a dash of romance, and a butt load of intrigue! I thoroughly enjoyed this read, trying to solve the mystery before the ending, and look forward to disappearing into more of her written work as soon as time allows. Highly recommend!

Dwarf and Raven both have so much going on. Raven’s past is very emotional as is Dwarf’s and they end up finding love. Don’t let Dwarf’s name fool you… He may be small on the outside, but on the inside his heart makes up for his lack of height. Raven is emotionally distraught, haunted and looking for help, which she finds with Dwarf. This book has many twists and turns, BUT the budding love is worth it! Manda Mellett Hit this book out of the park! I highly recommend this to my friends!

I absolutely loved this book for so many reasons, I could not put it down to say the least! Full of action, suspense, and of course that seductive chemistry we all crave. The author knew exactly how to pull the reader in, and hold us there, the book was very well written, and hit all the right elemental keys!

I do love a good suspenseful book. This one certainly took the cake. I truly did admire Sera, she was a strong minded and an assassin you do not mess with. I seen a lot of character development with her, as the story went on. I didn’t think I could admire her more, but I did! I loved the chemistry with her and Cassius. Their chemistry was very much fireworks and seductive all at once. I loved this book, I was on the edge of my seat with how the book would turn out, with all its twists and turns. Stuck between two men dear to you, do you choose family over love? If you seek the answer I did, I suggest you read this book too! The book is more than a well wroth read! I freaking loved it from beginning to end!

A very much perfect read. It had everything I wanted, and I truly enjoyed this book with a passion. I seriously loved this book and the author’s writing style. Highly recommend this must read book!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the first time I have read anything by this author. The way she makes me dislike the main character Levi is unmatched. I disliked his whole entitled attitude and the way he thought he was God’s gift to women. His drunken womanizing ways was just icky. Then as the story evolves and Levi is made to grow up and become a REAL man, I start liking him. This book has some funny parts and some serious parts but the chemistry between Levi and Kindle is definitely there from the moment they meet. Good story, I will read her stuff again.

Wow just Wow! I loved everything about this book and this author knocked it out of the park again. I’ve read several books by her and she manages to up the level every single time. I never hesitate to pick up a book by her and it’s a guarantee I won’t be getting anything else done until I finish. I’m a huge fan of MC Romance and this author sold me on it several, several books ago her style of writing along with amazing characters some you fall in love with and some not so much.She grabs your attention from the beginning and doesn’t let go till the end and her characters are well developed and fun This one is just a bit different than the rest of her books but I l9ved it even more. This is about Dwarf and Raven, he’s not your typical member as he’s not had tall as the other members. Raven didn’t exactly have the best childhood growing up and theirs pasts aren’t the greatest Can these two be what the other needs to heal? You guus I don’t want to give to much away. I highly recommend reading this book and if you haven’t read any of the other MC by this author I recommend reading them as well . You wont regret it. I’m looking forward to reading more from this Author and this new chapter.

This isn’t my first read by this author I have read a few of her books and she never disappoints me. This isn’t your usual MC book. The characters are amazing and well written. The plot OMG I loved it Ms. Mellett had m e laughing so much. The way Ms. Mellett description of the surrounding was awesome I could picture the cabin to the tee.

Raven is tormented when she goes back to the cabin she was brought up in. When her terror makes her flee in the middle of the night she runs into Dwarfs bike, he doesn’t believe her story there are no such thing as ghosts.
Is there really a ghost in the cabin? Is someone trying to get rid of Raven? Can Dwarf help and save Raven? Will Dwarf and Raven finally allow love into their lives and get their Happily ever after?

This is such great romantic suspense novel that I couldn’t set it down once I picked it up! Selena suddenly has the rug pulled out from under her and finds herself in a dangerous world that she knows nothing about. Wyatt finds him self caught up in her drama and can’t help but get involved. I really enjoyed watching them grow closer as they struggled with different backgrounds and trust issues. There is so much action and suspense wrapped up in a budding romance that I couldn’t wait to see what would happen next!

Always second best, Dwarf is use to being left or passed over for the tall, more classically handsome guys in the club. Raven is haunted by a horrid past. After a chance meeting, will the two find their happily ever after?

This was the first book by Manda Mellet that I have read. I did not except anything but a good, typical MC story; however I was presently surprised by the slight paranormal vibe that I got. I found the whole story to be well written as well, so much so, that I actually couldn’t put it down and finished it all in one sitting. I can’t wait to read the rest of this series. While I wait for the rest of the series, I will definitely be checking out other books by Mellet.

I enjoyed this book. Although, I have not read the rest of the series, I think it is easy to follow along without having the story from the other books. This was another book that I could not put down and finished in a day.
“Squid: A rider who could use some training on his form and technique.” This is exactly the term to describe bachelor, Levi Crowe. He knows how to please the ladies but relationships, that is a whole new ballgame to this man. He has got everything he thinks he needs, fun times, friends, booze, and women that swarm around him. But he gets a rude awakening when Kindle enters the scene. She doesn’t want anything to do with this man, she has made it clear. So why can’t he get her out of his head?
Levi goes through some challenges and some life changing events. He gets a stalker that he can’t seem to shake. He must excel at his career and change the way he looks at life. Will this be enough to land the girl of his dreams? Or will the life he knows come crashing down on him?

This story plays on the imagination and brings out the kid in you. Its silly, fun, and shows what all kids want to do which is save the world. I read this book with my 7 year old and we both adored it. Ray guns, space, aliens, friendship, and more!

This was a little different than what I am used to, with a paranormal twist, but since that is a favorite genre of mine, I didn’t mind at all. Dwarf and Raven don’t find love at first sight but when they do notice each other the chemistry is hot. The ups and downs, twists and turns keep you on the edge of your seat for the whole book. Thank you so much to this author who puts so much into her books and keeps us readers coming back for more!!

Although this is the second book in a series, I decided to read it even though I didn’t read the first. It didn’t stop or confusing or felt like I missed something from the fist book. The author has written a suspenseful, page turner of a story that kept me wanting to read more. When Avery is attacked, she is already on edge and worried about her safety. Her neighbor Luys wants to help but is he the reason for the attack? I really like the author’s style or writing and I’m sure to pick up other books she has written.
