My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is definitely a go to author for me and I never hesitate to pick up a book when they put a new one out. This book was awesome. I think it is my favorite of the ones I’ve read recently because u couldn’t put it down! The main characters are Dwarf and Raven…. VERY rough around the edges. But I really enjoyed their story and liked the growth they both went through and how they got closer and closer. I am looking forward to more books by this author in the future and I would definitely recommend to anyone that likes MC romances!
Happy Reading!

There is not a bad book in this series! Every time I pick one up I fall in love with each character and fall in love all over with supporting characters we have already met!

In this installment of the series we meet Dwarf and Raven. From the beginning this book catches your attention and leaves you wanting more! I could not put it down and I didn’t want to! I want more from every story! The author does such a good job of drawing you in and making the reader feel like we are in the book with all the characters.

The author does such a great job of giving us two characters, two stories, one ending!

I thought this book was a unique story. Selena Hernandez found out her mother has been lying to her for her whole life. When her mother is arrested and taken to jail, Selena finds out that she is actually from Mexicao and not a legal citizen. Selena is led to believe that deporting herself to Mexico is her only option. She thinks it will be a rapid turn around to going back to her life in Arizona. She doesn’t count on discovering that her birth father is an important man in the drug cartel. Wyatt Demko didn’t plan on getting involved in everything going on with Selena, but he knew that he needed to warn her. Together they end up on quite the adventure, not knowing who they can trust. I was so sad for Wyatt as details of his abusive past came to light. I could see myself in Selena’s inner dialogue, especially when she would give herself a pep talk. This was an enjoyable read and had some small twists that I enjoyed!

This was a great 5 star read. This author has once again pulled me in with her writing and I loved it. Dwarf has a hard time with women, he has been used in the past so his walls are pretty high. While on his way home one night he unexpectedly finds himself avoiding something that came out on the road. This brings him face-to-face with Raven who was very scared.
Lets just say things take an interesting twist from here, and if you like creepy you will like this.

Dwarf is drawn to Raven and wants to protect her. They have some similar backgrounds that also connect them, they were great support for each other. You get a little bit of everything in this read and you won’t want to stop until you’re done. It felt like we got several different stories in one, we do get a taste of the paranormal as well. If you’re looking for an edge of your seat read, 1-click and get started today. I look forward to reading more from this author.

Wow such a great book. I have not found a book from this author that I have not enjoyed, but this one was different from your typical MC book. Dwarf is not the typical MC member. As his name implies he is not as tall as the other members but what he does not have in height he makes up for in heart. Raven has a childhood that is better left in the past. When her past starts to haunt her quite literally it seems, can Dwarf and his buddies help her to figure out what is going on? Can Dwarf and Raven heal the hurts from the past in each other?

I read Witch Switch by Louisa Bacio from this anthology. This story was simply delightful. Cheyenne and Rafe’s story was a joy to read and I found myself rooting for them as they faced their adversary. The journey of Cheyenne and Rafe to finding love together had some suspense and intrigue, which made for an interesting story. I enjoyed the story and do look forward to reading more from this author.

Every single time I see a new book from this author I think to myself it couldn’t get any better and this author proves me wrong every time. The things that play out in her head is fantastic and I for one am grateful she writes us stories. Once again her characters are so easy to connect with and root for. They each have a story to tell and I loved every minute of it. I definitely stay up way too late if I start one of this authors book and this one made me do it again and it was worth the sleepless night. If I could give more than five stars I would but just know it’s worth way more. Highly recommended! This book and this author in general!

While this is the first book that I have read from this author, I was overall impressed. The chemistry between the main characters was great, and there was a great balance between romance, intrigue, and action. Selena was a great main character, although like most she did have a few character flaws. But her chemistry with Wyatt and his sweet nature more then made up for it. This book was full of surprises that kept me on the edge of my seat and I’ll definitely be looking for more from this author.

FANTASTIC! I loved it! I love the direction Manda took this book. It’s definitely not her usual MC story. It is an MC story with an unexpected supernatural twist. It is unique, creepy, spooky, and has a little darkness to it. There is danger and suspense, intrigue and humour. As always, I love the banter between the brothers of the MC and their women.

He may be small in stature but there is much, much more to this man than his height. It is hard not to feel for this man who has always wanted what everyone else has. Someone who wants him and only him.

What could cause such fear, so much terror to cause someone to flee in the middle of the night?

Unlikely to Tell (A Parker Lake Novel Book 4)Unlikely to Tell by Olivia Sherwood
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

When I saw Olivia had another book out, I jumped right on it!

Unlikely to Tell is Karen’s story and the fourth book and another great addition in the Parker Lake contemporary romance series. Parker Lake is a small town where everyone knows everyone. Olivia weaves realistic tales that make it so easy to love characters.

With her steadfast besties beside her Karen’s journey into love is beautiful and fun. These wonderful and quirky characters made me laugh out loud once again. Of course, no love story is told without drama and emotions, crazy antics and humour, quick wit and easy banter, friendships and family and Olivia does it so well.

It’s time to jump on the Parker Lane bandwagon and start the amazing journey today.

Hold onto your passports!!! This book gripped extremely hard and was very difficult to put down the couple of times I had to!!

Selina has self-deported back to Mexico from her home in Tucson. She wants everything to be on the up-and-up, especially after finding out her entire life has been a huge lie. She doesn’t know the language and is struggling to go through the proper channels when her life changes drastically.

Wyatt isn’t loving his job but knows that the work he is doing at the Embassy could lead to something better. It’s when the beautiful woman walks into his office and a mysterious phone call is made that causes life to get interesting.

What lengths would you take to protect someone you just met?

Be ready to sit down and dive in because this one grabbed me from the first line and didn’t let up until the end. I’ve still got some questions though….

There is little time if any to ease into this book as it gets going very quickly! It grabs your attention and never lets go as there is not one lull in this story.

You can imagine that the first rule of any motorcycle club is don’t mess with their bikes. Dwarf has no such luck with a downed hog in the beginning of the book. As part of the Wicked Warriors MC Arizona Chapter, Dwarf is accustomed to having women look over him to his less vertically-challenged brothers. But his chemistry with Raven is something neither of them can deny. Brought together by a force that leaves both of them baffled, Dwarf has to wonder if fate is at hand.

This is a roller coaster ride and each time I thought I had it figured out, the story line would pull me in another direction. I wasn’t sure what to expect when I picked up an MC book but I am pleasantly surprised to say the least.

The adventure is believable in the eyes of a child. I highly recommend this story to an elementary school-age student.

I have read a lot of books by this author but the twist in the book definitely was a surprise. It took me a bit longer to connect with the characters than it normally does. Although, once I was able to connect with them, I felt right at home with this book. Raven’s life story makes you fall in love with her character and Dwarf is your typical MC rider. This was a good read and can’t wait for more in this series.

Given how much I love this author’s Satan’s Devils MC series, I was excited to give this book a shot. I loved how different it was! A similar brotherhood to what I am use to with the Satan’s Devils MC, but the paranormal aspect to the story was intriguing. I was trying to puzzle out the mystery the whole time, and eventually I figured it out, but not for a while there, keeping me hanging on to the story. Dwarf’s insecurities were very relatable. Raven’s past was very tragic. Putting them together, I think they complimented each other quite well. I was a little frustrated with how back and forth Raven was, but it does make sense with her character. I am definitely going to be looking out for more in this series! If you like MC Romances, found family, overcoming tragedy, and overcoming insecurities, then give this book a shot!

If you think that every elementary school is the same, then you are wrong, one school in particular is very unusual, this is Orchard Ridge Elementary School, however, only a few people are privy to the secret. One day a group of students are in the library for a typical lesson with the elderly Librarian, where she talks about the difference between the types of books and their content, for one student, this was her favourite lesson and the Librarian her favourite teacher, but the class went on as normal until something scary happened.

A group of aliens from the Planet of Wart burst into the Library demanding that the Librarian hands over a mystery goo from the Cafeteria which they want to use to spaghettify the Milky Way and rule the Galaxy, but when they are refused, they decide to trap the students and use them as leverage. This is when the Librarian enlists the help of two of her students to help her stop the Aliens, but will they be able to do it?

This is a fun filled children’s sci-fi book which is a delight for all ages, as three unlikely people stand between Aliens and the destruction of the Galaxy.

I love that we get to see Caspian again, and him getting magical items that allow him to go on a short adventure. Here, a hat is gifted to him which allows him to hear what people around him are thinking.

The storyline is very cute and wholesome, and leads to a few little lessons.

The illustrations are well done and this whole series would be perfect for a kid’s storytime.

Overall I really enjoyed this book – I thought the storyline was really interesting and the author threw in some great twists too. There were a few times where I skimmed over a few parts as they were a bit drawn out but it was an exciting read at times – I’m going to say this especially true from the middle part of the story – the action definitely kicked up a notch there. I really liked the characters, and the authors descriptions of Mexico in particular were great, I got a real feeling for what the place was like. I liked Wyatt, I thought he really did do what he could to help protect Selena at the beginning and be there for her as the story progressed. I felt for Selena especially finding out about her extended family the way she did.
A great read and one that I would highly recommend.

Why can’t I give more than 5 stars? This is Dwarf and Raven’s beginning. What a beginning it was. Raven is running blind and scared. Dwarf is headed home at night, tired and as something runs into the street he lays his bike down. That is all you get from me. This is a must read! If You have followed Satan’s Devils, then you know this author. I know you will not be disappointed. She has once again sucked me into her story, before the first chapter is complete. I have never been this scared reading a book before. This one kept me at the edge of my seat, hair raising and I even jumped when my phone rang. While this is a new set of bikers, the characters are just as loveable. At one point I did laugh so hard I had to stop reading to get control of my emotions. Once again I declare this my favorite book to date from this author. Can’t wait to see where this author takes her Wicked Warriors. I am sure there are many more adventures awaiting to be written/read. Well Done! Great read too!

I really liked how the characters were written and also how it really livens up a child’s imagination. The storyline well very far fetched is really what helps brighten and influence their imaginations. I really would recommend this book to anyone with young children.

This story is one that will leave you on the edge of your seat as you try to figure out who is good and who is bad. It seems in Mexico is where everyone’s skeletons are buried and when they come to light no one knows whose side anyone is on.

Selena Hernandez, who discovers she is an illegal immigrant after her mom is arrested, decides she needs to go back to Mexico to get a Visa to come to the United States legally. However, once she steps foot in Mexico her journey is anything but easy like the lawyer in the US said it would be. After attempting to get her visa at the US embassy Selena’s path is entangled with Wyatt Demko who senses trouble is a foot for Selena. As the secrets of who Selena is and that her real father is a notorious cartel kingpin Selena’s life is more at stake than ever. She seems to be a pawn in everybodies scheme and naturally doesn’t trust anybody. Can Salena uncover all the secrets about her past to ensure she has a future? Can Wyatt prove to not only himself but also Selena that he is a trustworthy guy with no alternative agenda? In this wild game of drugs, secrets, and nefarious plots who will come out on top?

This book has a slow start to the storyline. It takes the author a bit of time to list out the players and bump up the action. Once he does though this is a non stop thrill ride to the end with more twists and turns than a roller coaster. If you like romantic suspense books then this will be right up your alley. The author’s descriptive scenes, especially Tulum and Chichen Izza, take me back to when my husband and I visited the same sites on a trip to Mexico in 2019. That’s how you know this is a good story, when it can take you back in time and help visualize where the characters are at and the interactions taking place!

I have loved this author for some time now for all the work and beauty they create when they write. I was hooked upon this latest installment in the series. It was great and full of the things I love that this author can do and create in all they write. It was a good read that I surely enjoyed!

I really loved the relationship build between Levi ad Kindle. Their time together was far from easy, and to get to certain points they really had to work hard at it. I mean Levi went through a lot of character changes, and his change in himself was very realistic, and I very much admired that. I loved the side of Kindle that was strong, but could melt at certain things that Levi could be. I loved their moments together, none of it was easy, and they say good things in life you have to work hard for it, and in which they did over and over again but, not right away. I loved how real the characters were and the story was. I had emption all over, and felt so much. All in all, I loved this read and enjoyed every moment of it!

Wonderful read and great addition to the series by a very talented author. The author certainly knows how pull the reader in and hold them there. Highly recommend this book, a definite must read!
