The Wolf’s Shadow (The Lycanthropy Files Book 1) by Cecilia Dominic – Review by Deb Robinosn

The Wolf's Shadow (The Lycanthropy Files #1)The Wolf’s Shadow by Cecilia Dominic
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This book had a great premise. With my love of all things medical and supernatural, it was a well blended story that kept my attention from beginning to end. Joanie, the main female lead in the story, is strong beyond words although she thinks of herself the opposite way. This book is a mystery from the beginning. I recommend not rushing through it as it is jammed with clues you can not miss. I was guessing until the very end. The suspense will keep you reading the mystery will keep you wondering who is lying and who can be trusted. I thoroughly enjoyed this book.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Another new author for me, I read this story because I had two friends that insisted I must read it. They told me I would love that it took place during WWII, and they know I love books with history. They were not wrong. This was a phenomenal read. I honestly did not want to put it down. The author has an amazing way of describing all the feelings and attachments going on with and around the main character. She had all my emotions going. I laughed, cried, felt angry, and struggled along with her choices and decisions. And her description of the war going on while the character was falling in love was beautiful. If war can be beautiful, this was it. And that’s hard to do with all the sadness and anger going on around you. I highly suggest you pick this book up. It’s not one to pass by.

The Cruiser (The Hustlers Trilogy Book 1) by Rowan Rossler – Review by Bethany Rollins

The Cruiser (The Hustlers Trilogy, #1)The Cruiser by Rowan Rossler
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The Cruiser is a steamy romance that takes us to Monaco and the life of luxury. Vandana is a PR agent who is hired to maintain Morgan, a yacht designer who needs to extinguish his playboy ways in order to obtain a Saudi Prince as his client. The first meeting of these two sets the tone for the entire story; extravagance and desire. I did enjoy the story and that the author added details to each character throughout the story. Vandana has some fantastic friends and Morgan’s family is so charming and lovely. Looking forward to the next in this series.

The Cruiser (The Hustlers Trilogy, #1)The Cruiser by Rowan Rossler
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

This book was decent and had some good spice but I couldn’t get myself to care enough about the Yacht talk and PR drama. It all just went right over my head so those parts bored me but the drama, spice, and romance kept me going. I really enjoyed the dual POV because the male perspective in romance books is always better IMO. Morgan was definitely a sexy successful player bad boy while Vandana was the has-it-all-together perfect seeming woman and I loved watching them break down each other’s walls and seeing the struggles each of them face yet they still admired and adored each other despite their flaws. I absolutely was a sucker for every time Morgan defended or protected Vandana because how could you not love a sexy ‘I don’t care about anyone’ type of man who shows you he cares about you by punching a guy right in the face for you in the middle of a business event. And don’t even get me started on his speech at the end because I absolutely cried at the sweetness of it all. I only gave 3 stars because I was personally bored with the theme of boats and PR but besides that, this was a great story.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I really enjoyed this historical romance. The author does an amazing job with the writing to actually transport you to Portugal. You feel like you are there seeing the sights and smelling and tasting the wonders it offers.

I love our leading lady Julia. She is a very strong lady who has had to overcome a lot to keep hold of her port wine business in a world that only sees men as capable for the job. Julia’s determination and passion comes through in this story as she fights to prove she is just as good as any man and save her sons legacy.

Griffin has been sent to visit Julia to see about money that was lent to expand the business. He goes there with one purpose and the thought of finding someone who would steal his heart isn’t that purpose.
However the heart wants what it wants and Griddin and Julia’s story proves to be just as passionate as Julia is about her wine. However things are plain sailing and when secrets come to light and decisions made is the couple’s love going to be strong enough for them to survive or will it tear them apart.

The author Lois Wickstrom did a fantastic job on this book! My 8 year old and I read this together and not only did he love the story but the illustrations as well. Caspian receives a pencil and a pad of paper from his grandfather for his “unbirthday”. It’s not just any pencil though, it’s a Know-It-All pencil. A magical pencil that Leads straight to adventure. What adventures you may ask? I will not spoil it, you must read to find out and I promise you won’t be disappointed. It’s a great book to read and discuss with your kids. They will adore it.

The Fighter (An Underground Bad Boys Romance Book 3) by India Kells – Review by Amy Brennan

The Fighter (An Underground Bad Boys Romance, #3)The Fighter by India Kells

This final installment in the series was exactly what I was hoping for. To be honest, the end of the epilogue really brought tears to my eyes. I wasn’t expecting to become as connected with some of the characters as I did, and to see it all sewn up in the sweetest way was brilliant and not once do I feel that this author lacked in her writing style, character building, nor the ability to make everything come ( I’d spell it differently, but that would be a little much for an online review,) and I haven’t felt this level of loss at the end of a series in a bit.

Juliet and Jonathan’s story is heart-warming, and proved that chivalry truly isn’t dead, even in situations where it’s doubted that it could be alive and well. Juliet cares deeply for her best friend, Ten, and has been in love with him for as long as she can remember. Ten very much feels the same way, but it isn’t until Gage enters their lives and brings a whole new world to the surface, allowing for truths to be found and told, and for all three of them to experience a first in life experiences, together and separately. Ultimately, I think this one was my favorite, as I’ve been rooting for Gage this whole series, knowing that beneath that beastly exterior, there had to be something softer there. Give this finale a read, you certainly won’t be disappointed. Highly recommend!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is the second installment in this series, and I can honestly say, I am so hooked. I thought I would be dipping my toes in with these novels, but honestly, it’s as though I ran the length of the dock and jumped right into the cold water. At least, that’s what these novels make me feel I need to do, to really cool down. Just when I thought things couldn’t get any hotter, the words seem to sizzle off the pages of the story revolving around Josie and Knox. I can relate to Josie and her story, her fear of her ex and unsure as to how to feel about herself as she runs herself ragged trying to keep up her end of the bargain and trying to eject herself completely from her husband Kenneth and his hold on her.

Along comes Knox, who is enchanted by Josie from the start, and refers to her as his lady of the lake. Having moved from the city and his life after getting out of the underground, to the small town of Landston, he has made several life changes and prefers his solitude over companionship, though it’s apparent to the reader that that won’t be enough for long. It’s an intriguing plot line, and I encourage anyone who has yet to read this authors work, to do so! I especially enjoyed hearing more about the world from which these lads rose from, in this installment, and look forward to finally hearing the story of Gage next. Another loud praise from this reader!

The Debt Collector (An Underground Bad Boys Romance)The Debt Collector by India Kells
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This was a new one to me, the idea of reading a sexually charged novel always piques my interest, but this was a different sort of charge all together. I can tell you that I made the mistake of trying to read some of this novel in the backseat while my in-laws were driving, and I turned several shades of red, but couldn’t stop. This author allows the reader to completely (or mostly) let go of the inhibitions and go on this erotic ride with what must be some of the sexiest characters that exist in the literary world. Locke is a stubborn man, as would be expected, and the connection/friendship he shares with Gage is to die for, chosen family and more.

The ability to have us get to know the characters in their own worlds, and their personality traits and issues before getting the sexual adventures underway was a well thought out method to draw the reader in and allowing us to feel like we aren’t peeping into a strangers fantasies. One of my favorite tidbits is that the women portrayed in the writing aren’t the fit, thin, super confident women we usually read about in romance novels, rather, they are average (albeit beautiful) women that have self-esteem issues or their own discomforts/self-doubts. Being one of these women, it allowed me to really connect with Tessa, who seemingly has her head screwed on straight, her professional life being the best it can be, yet, missing something in her personal life. Amazing! Currently reading the rest of the series, and very much looking forward to all the good goosebumps to come, highly recommend!

The Fighter is the third book in An Underground Bad Boy Romance series by India Kells. This book concludes this fantastic series which I have followed from the beginning. This book kind of brings us full circle, as Gage finally gets his HEA!!! WOOT!!! We met Gage back in book one, and he has played an important role in each book- but always seemed to ‘miss out’ on having a HEA. I am so happy that we finally get his story!!
This book could be read as a standalone, but as there are recurring characters and other important details contained in the previous two books, I highly recommend reading those books before starting on this sizzling instalment.
This is a superb romantic suspense- and as with the other two books, this has a ménage/threesome aspect to the story too. The story is wonderfully written, with more sizzlingly HOT encounters- and being set in the world of cage fighting means there is plenty of danger, drama, pleasure, pain, heartache, intrigue, suspense, and gritty tension. As with the other books, there is more to this story than just lust and the ménage- there is also a ‘deeper’ story, with beautifully flawed characters fighting their demons, discovering more about themselves, while finding love unexpectedly. I had to know how Gage’s story would play out, so I ended up devouring the book in only a couple of hours. I loved every minute and really didn’t want the book, or series, to end.
I really can’t wait to see what Ms. Kells does next!
Happy Reading!

Thank you, India Kells!

The Cruiser (The Hustlers Trilogy, #1)The Cruiser by Rowan Rossler
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Vandana’s life is on a bit of a downhill curve now, although to say her work life is great but her personal life has taken a hint. Her husband has just announced that he has had an affair and wants a divorce thus sending her into a spin. So, she falls back on work to relieve her from her disastrous life but that when life starts to get interesting.

Morgan is what some people describe as a Playboy of sorts, he has a successful Yacht Businesses in the one of the most exclusive countries in the world, what more does he need? A good reputation if he is to win over a big, big contract. So, one of his advisors puts forward a company and within one meeting Morgan’s life changes forever.

This is the first book I have read by this author, and I have to say it was a brilliant, well written story. The characters were brilliantly suited with the Sassy and forthright of Vandana’s personality was a great mirror to the slightly arrogant demeaner at the beginning with Morgan, but as the story flowed along you saw the true character of Morgan and fell just a little with him in the end. I also love when the authors include the destinations in the story, and you feel part of the glamourous world of Monaco, Italy, and LA with each word which describes them.

I really enjoyed the story and loved the secondary characters with Vandana’s friends and Morgan’s family and his friends. The twist in the story is brilliantly but there is a back story that needs to be told, all in all I really enjoyed the book and can’t wait to read the next book and books to come.

4 Stars

 

This Night Has Ended is the fifth and final instalment in the Vampire State series by Alexander Charalambides. This series has been one heck of an adventure, that’s for sure. From the first book, and every new instalment since, each addition to the series just got better and better- keeping me hooked and anticipating what would happen next. As I have mentioned before, this series takes vampire lore and really shakes it up- producing a very original and intriguing vampire tale.
We have learned so much and gone through so much with Rowena over the course of the series, but there is no resting just yet. Rowena’s biggest challenge lies ahead, and she will need to dig deep if she is to endure. Her secret is weighing heavily on her shoulders, as does her sense of responsibility. She is determined to see things through, no matter the cost or consequence. What happens made for an exciting read.
There is so much going on, and the story took me on quite an unexpected journey. There were moments where the tension was quite palpable. So needless to say that I read most of the story with bated breath. This final instalment was so much more than I had anticipated. With vampires, action, adventure, danger, drama, surprising developments, politics, challenges, secrets, the paranormal, romance, discord, tension, and a bit of a dark dystopian feel- which made for quite an exciting read.
I am impressed with the way Mr. Charalambides ended his series, if not a little sad to see it all come to the end. Now I will be eagerly waiting to see what he has in store for us next.
Happy Reading!

Thank you, Alexander Charalambides!

Targeting Dart (Satan’s Devils MC #4) Audio Book by Manda Mellett – Review by M Policicchio

I don’t know how this author keeps finding ways to make these books better and better.  If I haven’t said I love this series before, let me say it now.  I LOVE THIS SERIES.  The characters are strong but gentle, loveable but deadly, make me laugh out loud but serious.  If it wouldn’t mean giving up my adoring husband and adapting a completely new lifestyle, I think I would find a way to become an old lady of one of the Satan’s Devils!! 

 

Dart, a known hit’em and quit’em kinda of guy, falls hard for a woman that is not his type and might even cause a stir in the club.  Alex is running from her abusive, cop soon-to-be-ex-husband.  She is doing everything she can think of to stay off anyone’s radar.  She even takes a cash job for the Satan’s Devils.  Dart seems to be able to resist the pull towards Alex until he meets her son, Tyler.  When Alex’s soon-to-be-ex kidnaps both Alex and her son, Dart and the brothers seek to get her back.  It works until Dart, Mouse, and Slick discover that brothers in a different chapter are plotting against them and are working with a dirty cop.  The suspense in this one kept my earbuds hot!!

I really enjoyed this book, this author is quickly becoming one of my favorites to read. I was pulled in right from the beginning and read it in one sitting. I got a chuckle at how Gage and Juliet first met. Fate steps in and he ends up seeing her again at an underground fight.

Juliet is with Ten at a fight that they are relying on him to win so they don’t lose their apartment. Things take a twist that brings Juliet fact-to-face with Gage again who offers advice that hurts more than it helps them. Gage ends up offering them a place to stay and lets just say things take a very interesting twist. You could feel the chemistry coming off the pages. Will they all get a HEA? Or will certain choices ruin everything they have?

I really enjoyed this read and these three characters. They all had great personalities and strengths. We also get some very steamy scenes from them. We get all sorts of twists and turns that added a great element to the story. I look forward to reading more from this author and series. 1-click and get started today.

This story pulled me in from the start and kept me entertained throughout. I was surprised many times during my reading. Josie is trying to raise her 2 children while trying to get divorced from her husband, who has been into some pretty bad stuff. Josie has been through quite a bit in her life and it doesn’t seem to be ending anytime soon. I enjoyed the writing style and flow of this story. I recommend this book.

Josie is a mother of two that is trying to get away from her abusive ex-husband and the small town she lives in. However, before she can get away from everything, she finds herself charged with murder as bodies are being discovered near the isolated cabin that she is staying in.

Out on bail, she is determined to clear her name. However, with her past, family secrets, a psychotic ex-husband, and a pandemic…it is not going to be easy. Can she clear her name before it’s too late?!?
To say there are some twists and turns in this book is putting it lightly. It pulled me in from the first page and I was never quite certain which way it was going to go…and I sure didn’t see the end coming.

I enjoyed Josie’s character. Trying to protect her children while figuring out what is really going on, and who she can trust, tugged on my maternal heartstrings. She is complex character with real-life problems that are compounded with a ticking clock that is running out of time. I went into this book with just reading the blurb…and I think everyone else should. It is such a good story that just diving in is the way to go…you won’t be disappointed!

I am not sure how this author does it but she seems to write smashing stories filled with entertaining characters and love and mixes it all together..every..time. I many times found myself loving these characters while going through a lot of different emotions ranging from happiness to tears. Below is part of my review from one of the books that encompasses these thoughts and emotions.

Stars Fall from the Sky

This is one emotional roller coaster! I mean reading the synopsis gives a bit of a clue so I was prepared for the tears. But then a few pages later….anger. Yes I was shocked then I got mad. Not at the book. One certain
character…well maybe two. You will know what I’m talking about if you read this. This author played me like a violin. Sad…Irritation…disbelief then shock and anger. Well let’s end on a good note…there was happiness too.

I really ended up loving this twisted story. For the first half I was not a fan as I struggled with the story and characters. I did not care for Josie for a multitude of reasons. The story turns around and get very exciting in the second half. I am glad I hung on and did not quit reading.

The second half is explosive. All of the characters come alive and the action gets intense. I could hardly out this down at that point. I felt sorry for Josie as she seemed to be backed into a corner.

Overall its an okay read. I wish the beginning would have been more lively and rounded the book out more. The second half was exciting and hard to stop reading.

This book is a psychological thriller set in the weeks and months leading up to and the very beginning of the COVID pandemic in a small New York town. My best advice for any reader of this book is this: TRUST NOBODY, AND REMEMBER, NOTHING AND NOBODY IS QUITE WHAT THEY SEEM. This was a great book, with surprising twists you won’t necessarily see coming, and if you do, you still won’t know it all until the end. I would highly recommend this book if you like to be surprised and enjoy books with some real world situations mixed in with the fictional world the characters inhabit.

It thought it was Narrated really well. I could easily imagine everything going on and it made the story that much better. This was another great addition to this fantastic series.

Targeting Dart (Satan’s Devils MC #4) Audio Book by Manda Mellett – Review by Cindy Mayberry

Another fantastic addition to this MC. This is Dart and Alex’s story. Dart is a member of the Satan’s Devils. Not interested in becoming an officer or finding an old lady. He just wants to hangout with his brothers and ride with the bikers. No Commitment! Alex has left her abusive husband and taken her son where he should be safe. The husband, being a detective, can follow her wherever she goes. Unbeknown to Alex. She moves across states, and now her most important job is to find a job. This is another strong independent woman who is determined to make it on her own. Get her son safe and raise him to be a respectable man. That is all you get from me, no spoilers will be seen here. This author has once again given us a hair raising fast paced suspenseful story. This is one of those times when I wish I could give more than 5☆’s. This story is an add on to the others in this series. I recommend you start with book 1 and work your way to this the 4th book in the series. Get to know the other characters in this series and follow along. You won’t be disappointed, but you will give your emotions a workout. I am looking forward to listening to book 5 in this series.

The narrators do an amazing job of bringing the characters to life and keeping your attention. They change their tones with each character and I feel like I’m right there in the story.

This particular story had such a good storyline. The main characters both had histories that could affect their futures. They were both pretty stubborn until they fell in love.
I enjoyed reading the story. I am sad how quick I read it but if you’re looking for a good quick read this is definitely the book for you.

I’m going to be honest that although I absolutely give this 5 stars because the writing is great and the storyline – it’s probably my least favourite of all the stories and I can’t really put my finger on why. Maybe I didn’t connect with the characters as much as I wanted or something I’m really not sure but what I do know is as usual the story is excellently written with a great pace and flow. The characters were a little harder to get to know but they were really well developed and I liked to see other characters from previous stories pop up as well. I did like the connection that Dart and Alex had – I just wish that Alex knew how special she was regardless of how she thought she looked! The narration of the audio book was excellent as always.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Zenni returns to Everwood with the intent to save the Everwood County Plantation because it is her only remaining link to her heritage. Local billionaire, Colton, has purchased the plantation and intends to destroy it. Zenni and Colton are soon at war with one another, and each will stop at nothing to get what they want. Each is intent to destroy the other at all costs in pursuit of their end goal. Neither Zenni nor Colton could predict that there would be an undeniable attraction between them that will change everything. Will Zenni and Colton be able to put aside their hatred of one another over the fate of the Everwood County Plantation? Will they be able to deny the chemistry between them?

This book was a quick and enjoyable read. I loved the characters of Zenni and Colton and found myself rooting for each one for different reasons. Zenni is feisty, smart, and determined. She is a woman on a mission who will stop at nothing to get what she wants. Colton might have money to throw around, but Zenni proves to be a worthy adversary. Colton comes across at first as a ruthless billionaire who is used to winning and getting what he wants. Then we learn that Colton also has very personal reasons for wanting the plantation destroyed which makes the reader look at him in a whole new light. I had to keep reading to see what the fate of the plantation would be and who would win the battle of wills between Zenni and Colton. Of course, I also had to see if either Zenni or Colton would let themselves admit the attraction to the other and pursue a relationship. Great read!
