4.5 Stars

 

Beelzebub: The Gift of Gluttony (A Sinful Seven Novel) by J.C. Brown and Lena Lane is a paranormal romance, with fantasy, demons, and plenty of temptation. This is the first book that I have read from either of these two authors, so I was reallly excited to see what they could do- and WOW, what a story they wove. Keeping me well and truly hooked the whole way through.
What happens when one of the princes of hell sets his sights on a human baker? One who seems able to resist his ‘charms’? Well, this story is definitely worth the read to find out.
Looking forward to exploring more of these two talented authors work.
Happy reading!

Thank you, J.C. Brown and Lena Lane!

Romance is my guilty pleasure genre, so I absolutely love this book. It was everything I had imagined it was. Regan is such an amazing character in this story. I feel like I can relate to her because of the horrible home life before I moved out. The ups and downs in this story I feel like are based on a real relationship. Every relationship goes through ups and downs and get through them like Regan and Jeremy does. I highly recommend this story if you love romance.

This is such a fun story. I found this to be completely entertaining from start to finish. It is a short and sweet romance that swept me uo into the pages. I was hooked as soon as I started reading. I loved the characters too. They were so well suited and I really wanted them to find their way.
This is an author that I love every single time I pick up one of their books. No matter what type of book the author knows exactly how to pull the readers in. This is yet another success that I would highly recommend.

This is a great romance story with some truly likeable characters. For me this book was all about the characters. They were engaging and really real. You could feel their connection and I felt like you could really imagine everything about them. I enjoyed their journey throughout the book and could see the character develop the author was going for.
I thought the book was well written. I found it to be quite an easy read and one I read pretty quickly. It is an entertaining story that is certainly enjoyable.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is book 2 in the Evil Sushi series. It is a faced paced story following on from the first book so I recommend reading that first. This book is full of action and betrayals and knowing who can be trusted and not trusted.
The plot is basically about the world coming to an end being over run by sea mutants that are set on destroying the world and the human inhabitants. No one knows a lot about this species other than they are deadly.
Can the team find and destroy the cause of this virus? Will they find a cure to save people that are infected? And at times of danger and stress is the human race worse than the vicious species that are trying to take over?

Deacon (Saints vs Sinners Series Book 1)Deacon by CJ Warrant
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

There are moments in life that take us to a place in our minds that we never wish to revisit. Loss tends to take away our ability to see the sunshine, rainbows and silver linings of this life. This seems to very much be the problem that Deacon, our main man in this experience, suffers from and the hits just keep coming. Luckily for him, he has his Disciples, his chosen family to have his back through the good and the bad. They seem to really keep him in check and do whatever they can to help me regain his footing. The author does an immaculate job at portraying the hardships of life, the emotional roller coaster, and the personality of an overall incredibly loving and caring man and his family throughout. I couldn’t put the novel down, and let it eat up most of this past weekend, without complaint, of course!

Now, Olivia, or Liv as her nearest and dearest refer to her as, has many of the same hardships, losses and issues that Deacon has been experiencing, both having lost their fathers, and feeling like the weight of the world rest on their shoulders. Liv’s issues continue to develop as the story moves forward, and things start to get really unclear as to what she is to deem right, and wrong in her choices. Luckily for these two, they know that when times get extraordinarily tough, they will be there for each other, too, no matter what. This story was fantastic from start to finish what with the character development, world building, and suspense, and I cannot wait to continue this series, an find out more about Sinner’s back story. Highly recommend!

This book had me hooked from the very beginning! As someone with a similar background to Regan, I was very empathetic to her story and fell in love with her from the very beginning. Even during the times in the story that reminded me of my own childhood, I was drawn in and had a hard time putting the book down. Add in the chemistry between her and Jeremy and this was a fast read for me! Definitely not the last book that I will be reading by this author!

With South Africa heading towards winter, this is the perfect “cosy next to the fire” read. It’s short and sweet and was exactly the fun lighthearted read I needed after all the dark stuff I’ve read.
The characters are superbly written and the really grow through out the book especially Patrick. His personal growth and emotional maturing really resonates with me.
A great book yet again from this talented author

An enjoyable and engaging contemporary romance with an opposites attract theme, which kept me happily turning the pages. Clover and Patrick (Shamrock) have different views on love, she’s a saint and he’s a sinner. However, when they meet in this romantic comedy the unlikely couple may just have found love with one other. I thoroughly enjoyed this short but sweet story and loved the main characters, Clover and Shamrock, and I was cheering them on hoping they would get their HEA. A heartwarming read with a storyline full of emotions, humour, and of course romance.

This was another great book by one of my favorite authors. If you have never read one of her books, I suggest you start now with this one. She’s a fantastic writer and has an amazing way of drawing the reader into the world they are reading about. She always makes me feel like I am living the story through her description and narration of the story. This was a shorter story than some of the books I am used to reading from her, but none the less was just as good. I don’t feel that the length of the book took away from any of the story. I will say that this one was a little slow at the beginning and took me a couple of chapters to really get into, but once I did I couldn’t put it down. It was very entertaining, and I loved the characters chemistry.

I LOVE PARANORMAL ROMANCE! Claiming my Mate definitely did not disappoint. Once I started reading I couldn’t stop. The only thing I didn’t like is that is was so good I read it too fast and now I have to wait for book 2 to find out what happens. The author did a great job with the storyline and the characters.

I truly and thoroughly enjoyed this book! I could not put it down!! It was a little bit of danger, mystery, and a whole lot of love! I gave this book 4 stars because I wanted more! The author did an awesome job of describing the characters, the places and emotions that the characters were feeling at the time. Vanessa and Arkon, the book’s main characters have an electrifying relationship from the very start. I won’t go into too much detail because I don’t want to spoil it for anyone! This book is definitely a must read! I look forward to reading the other books in the series.

5 Star Review

This was my first book from this author and let me tell you, I’ll be picking up more! The characters were written so well which can be difficult with dual POV, but the author knocked it out of the park. I cannot remember the last book I finished this quickly and I definitely missed a good chunk of sleep because I couldn’t put it down.

The chemistry between Regan and Jeremy is potent and I enjoyed every minute of the up-and-down drama, humor, and romance between them. Regan comes from a not-so-great family, but it gives her the drive to make it on her own. Myrna is the mother figure that Regan needs and while she doesn’t have huge moments in this book, I feel that her presence is still felt throughout it.

Jeremy seems like he has it all until he meets Regan and everything changes. Regan knocks him out of his autopilot lifestyle and makes us all feel what he’s going through. The connection between these two is amazing but will it be enough in the long run?

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Ruby is a quirky actress who trades whimsical alternatives for curse words, sings song lyrics in her head – and sometimes aloud – as they apply to her everyday life, and struggles to figure out who she truly is among all the characters she takes on. When she lands a chorus part in her traveling theater company’s latest production, she’s disappointed, a little bored, and still working to fit in with her cast mates, even while coping with the loss of her mentor only a few short months ago. When she stumbles upon the body of a new cast mate while jogging in a park at their first tour stop in Asheville, she decides to spend her free time helping to get to the bottom of the mystery of why anyone would want to murder the kind older woman and who is behind it all. Forging a friendship with another cast mate, Nova, the pair clumsily make their way through an investigation that isn’t always as clandestine, nor safe, as they expect. It’s an entertaining and offbeat whodunit.

I could not out this book down! I literally did not do things just so I could continue reading this book! It is filled with action, suspense and drama….just about every page! This author did a wonderful job creating this world and the characters who live with in it.

While I throughly enjoyed the two main characters I was equally enthralled with the supporting characters. Yes I did not love every character and some I even couldn’t believe the way they acted. Still a purpose is served by them being evil, kind, sweet etc. This is book one in the series and I am on pins and needles awaiting the next one.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Deacon Saint is a man dealing with a lot of pain. Coming off a painful injury from his racing career, he returns home for his best friend’s funeral and finds many secrets in Alama. It’s time to take care of those secrets. With the help of his childhood buddies, he is able to fight through demons and secrets from the past. He also learns to let his friends help him. He learns that the woman he always loved never betrayed him so he and Olivia get to work through their challenges along with helping his mom find help and resources for her Alzheimers. This book was fantastic. Though staring with a funeral, the action pulls you right in. You can feel Deacon’s and Olivia’s emotions throughout the whole story.. There are some large emotions. The author gives you some big twists and turns in the story. I feel like you had at least two different storylines going but they melded perfectly into each other. I felt like I was dealing with people I knew from high school. Such well-written characters, great job done with Clyde. Grumpier than Oscar the Grouch.The tone of the story being just Deacon and Olivia makes it feel personal. This is the story that leaves you wanting more. I can’t wait to read more. This is going to be a wonderful series. I would give it more than a 5 if I could.

Notebook Mysteries ~ Changes and Challenges (Notebook Mysteries Book 3) by Kimberly Mullins

Changes and Challenges is the third book in the Notebook Mysteries Series and my absolute favorite of the series. This is a Historical Mystery that pulled me in from the beginning and I couldn’t put it down till I finished. This is the perfect book for a cloudy day. I highly recommend reading this series in order as each book is just as good as the last and this one picks up where we left off. The author does a wonderful job of bringing the characters to life and keeping the storyline flowing. I loved all the characters and the suspense kept me on the edge of my seat all while trying to figure out the mystery. Changes and Challenges takes place in Chicago in 1885, Emma finds herself on a new adventure after an inheritance from one of her prior clients. Follow along as Emma and her friends as they solve the mysteries. I highly recommend reading this to find out what happens next. I don’t want to give to much away. If you love Historical Mystery then this is definitely a book/series for you. I can’t wait to read more from this Author.

I love reading books by this author and this series is one of my favorites! The connections the mafia bosses have with each other and their wives are important and strong. And the families in Chicago have been through so much together which keep them connected. They work very well as a team.

Book 5 introduces us and delves into the relationship between Luc and Summer. They haven’t known each other long but they have a connection they didn’t expect after a one night stand. Summer has not had a great life but is very resourceful and strong. The new couple mixed in with the mafia families well and we see them support the new couple as if they have been part of the group all along.

I just love diving into a great vampire book and this book was fantastic!! This is the story of two characters that are just different, one being a vampire while the other is a vampire hunter.
Layla is strong and feisty and hunts vampires and comes from a family that is famous for being vampire hunters. Sam is a Navy SEAL but also arrogant and can come across cocky at times. Sam is powerful more than you know. When a chance encounter and a failed op bring Layla and Sam together, the roller coaster of a ride really takes off. Layla wants to capture Sam for her own purpose, but what happens when things do not happen as planned? Definitely read and find out!! This book has some sizzling hot moments, banter, deception all wrapped into a great read! I cannot wait to get my hands on book 2 to continue this story of Layla and Sam!

This is the first book that I have read from this author and she now has a new fan. I love a good contemporary romance but she exceeded all my expectations. These characters drew me into their story right from the start. I could not put this book down until the end. It only took me a few hours to devour this amazing story.

Regan is ready to leave her town for good. She just graduated and now she is ready to make that reality until she meets him. Regan meets the gorgeous Jeremy as she is working her tables. She just thought he was just another rich kid but she was so wrong. Regan and Jeremy can’t get enough of each other but fate always interferes. Will Regan and Jeremy find their happy ever after or will they be torn apart?

These two fit perfectly with the current mafia bosses and wives. Once again, you can feel the love and pain that each of these characters feel. I connected to Luc and Summer more than the previous characters as they were not born into the Mafia. I really enjoyed this book in the series and am intrigued to find out what comes next.

This book was a nice and easy read. The characters have some touches of personal tragedies, but the reader only gets a snapshot into the gorgeous playboy Shamrock and the innocent point of view of Clover. I enjoyed the perspectives of both Clover and Shamrock, but they were still very mysterious and that made me want more. I think I would’ve enjoyed an extended view of their background or day-to-day with these characters. When reading it went by really fast for me personally, and there were times I would’ve liked a more defined time frame. This is the first time I have read this author and will be looking into more of her writings.
