Shamrock & Clover: Field’s Apart by C.A. King – Review by Carrie Reed

Shamrock & Clover: Fields ApartShamrock & Clover: Fields Apart by C.A. King
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

5 stars!

Great story. I was immediately hooked. Clover couldn’t seem to catch a break, it was just one thing after the next for her. The police, her grandma, her boyfriend she thought was cheating. Meeting Shamrock and finally thinking things would be different. Throw in some misunderstandings and a very long past of hook up after hook up, it didn’t look like Shamrock was ever going to find what he was looking for. This is such a sweet and super cute short story, definitely read if you want a little pick me up.

Unchecked: A Steamy Love Triangle Love Romance by Carina Alyce – Review by Carrie Reed

Unchecked (MetroGen Downtown Kiss and Tell, #1)Unchecked by Carina Alyce
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

5 stars!

I love and hate Stella. My feelings went back and forth a couple of times throughout this short and steamy read, sometimes Stella annoyed me so much and other times I found myself on her side. At her age, being single and an adult I don’t see any problem with having fun, but it seemed like she just didn’t care. When she finally feels like she might settle down with one man it gets blown up. My heart broke for him and I was so mad at her for how she handled everything. In the end it seems like Doyle and Glazier are only willing to be with her out of obligation and Alex seems to really be in love with her. I need to know what happens with this mess!!! I can’t wait for the next book!

The Killer Jack Mystery (The J.D. Pierson Case Files)The Killer Jack Mystery by C.H. Sessums
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

4 stars!

A fun mystery murder book! I really enjoyed following along on this adventure to find out who stole the jewelry from the Barricks and who killed JD’s cousin Betty. JD or Jenny, decides to help out her Dad’s PI business by taking on a case while he is in recovery for alcoholism, at first I honestly was thinking why did she get involved, there may not have been any deaths had she stayed out of it. But when it came down to it in the end, she made me think differently, if no-one had stolen the jewelry there wouldn’t have been any deaths either! Mrs. Forsythe, she’s a piece of work and her brother George seemed a little unstable if what his sister was saying about him was correct, that he wanted the love of Mrs. Barrick not to blackmail her. In the epilogue it seems we have another juicy but devastating mystery coming and I look forward to the next book!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Ian is soooooo intense ! All I wanted to do is throw myself at his feet and beg him to make me his 🤦‍♀️🔥

Acacia did a real number on Ian and I really just wanted to give her a knuckle sandwich for the damage she caused but I realised if I kept focusing on her I’d be loosing out on the real story , the one of Grace and Ian 🥰❣️

Grace lives with Sophie and whiles she’s a good sort she has a rather colourful social life and more often than not there are surprise visitors so when Grace sees Ian’s roommate proposal she jumps at the opportunity, she can now save for own apartment and she’ll have a quieter life and all she has to do is cook food !

I don’t think Grace knew what she was letting herself in for I mean hello Ian is more than a handful on so many different levels ! I’m sure he could get a nun to take off her habit 🤦‍♀️🔥

Both Ian and Grace have their own issues and baggage but they took me on an epic journey and I’m so grateful and they’re the type of characters that will stay with you and in your heart , they’re the reason we have book hangovers ❣️📕😉

The Killer Jack Mystery (The J.D. Pierson Case Files)The Killer Jack Mystery by C.H. Sessums
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The Killer Jack Mystery is part of the J.D Pierson Case Files series. It is the first book I have read, but I really enjoyed it and will read the others. The book is well written, with good characters and maintained mystery throughout. It is not very long, but seemed appropriate- I didn’t feel like it ended suddenly or was rushed. The book follows Jenny, as she fills in for her father, a Private Investigator in the early to mid 1900s. She is asked to check in on her cousin, who may be caught up with some bad people. That quickly escalates to million dollar thefts, murder and a whole string of lies and mystery. I love the characters, as Jenny is a strong independent woman, in a time where it is not common. I look forward to see what will come next, after her dad returns home. Highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys mystery and crime. There is a cliff hanger at the end, that I was surprised to know it was based on a true story. I can’t wait to read the next book.

The Prisoner of the Dead: Zombie Thriller Dystopia (Dead World Book 1)The Prisoner of the Dead: Zombie Thriller Dystopia by Megan Mackie
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I love reading dystopian/apocalyptic stories, especially if it involves zombies! Despite this love, a lot of zombie books/movies/shows are quite similar. What I liked about this book was that the author included a few unique twists that made it unlike other zombie books that I have read recently. One of the main characters, Baron, has a fascinating role in the background of the story and as things are revealed about his life, it builds suspense and clues about the virus that is creating havoc in the world. Throw in some immortals, magic, and action to create this interesting world that I had difficulty putting down once I started.

The characters in this book are complex and intriguing. Every time I think I am starting to see where the book is going, I get surprised. I love when a book is not predictable. Grace needs another place to live and Ian is looking for a roommate. What could go wrong…or maybe right. Grace and Ian both have their own baggage to deal with. Can they see their way through at the things that could keep them apart? I absolutely loved this book. I lost sleep reading this book. I regret nothing.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I found this story to be amazing. It might be short, but the characters have plenty of time to develop and the story line has plenty of time to develop as well (which is amazing). I love how Kayden sticks to what she wants, which inspires me because it is hard to stay true to yourself. She defiantly has a surprise when Liam shows up though. I love how they give their love another chance.

While I must admit historical fiction has never been my cup of tea I did truly enjoy this one. I love the fact that it is faith based. I have never read anything by this author prior, but I appreciate the fact that she so easily draws you in and keeps you wanting more. This is not your cut and dry Christian romance, there is angst, family drama, and jealousy as well. I appreciate this author’s writing style and look forward to reading the next book in this series, and hopefully more from her in the future!

This was a great 5 star read that pulled me right in.
Once I started I didn’t want to put it down.

Grace needs to find a new place to live. Luckily her neighbor Ian is looking for a roommate. And what he is offering is perfect for her. As long as she cooks for him she can stay rent free and the bonus is he’s hot as heck. Who wouldn’t love this offer? The more time they spend around each other the more the chemistry builds between them.

My emotions were all over the place with this book. We find that they both have some secrets that they are holding pretty closely. What will happen when they finally come out? Overall I loved this book, the characters were great. The author does a great job with her writing and pulls you right into this story. I can’t wait to read more from this author. 1-click and get started today on this great read.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

A sweet historic romance between wealthy Faith and from the city Nico. As the story begins it is clear that Faith and her cousin Thomas are very close and you might expect the budding romance to be between them as Thomas is adopted. But then Nico comes to help her uncle with a project and they both seem to be very interested in one another. As events take place it becomes clear that Faith must trust in hers to make it through each occurrence. By the end of the story, she has developed quite a lot from a very naïve and innocent young lady to one who is starting to fully understand the bad and ugly that is around her.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This was a good read and a good follow up sequel novel. It took me a bit to remember how the first one left off, so I was confused for a good bit of the novel. I didn’t connect with this book like I did the first one, but I think it was mostly due to the fact that it’s been so long since I’ve read the first installment. It’s an interesting story with an interesting plot and storyline and characters too. I did enjoy it I just hate I didn’t enjoy it more. I plan to go back sometime and reread the first novel and go immediately to the second so I can get more from this one. Overall it was great and I highly recommend this book and series, but you will definitely want to read the books in order!

D.M. Earl is a new author for me, I found this book to be a page turn, keep me on the edge of my seat read. DM has the canny ability to make you see what each character looks like and you feel like you are experiencing the situation and emotions as well.
Francis N Stein, with a name like that you would expect him to be part of the Grimm Wolves MC but what you don’t expect, is a man with a big heart. Francis is a lost soul who really doesn’t have a lot of faith in humanity. His own parents torched him. Francis is also a firefighter who befriends a young student who has been torched as an infant as well. Situations and circumstances wither through Francis and Damien’s mom Grace together that the two can not deny the chemistry between each other but at what cost??

I am emotionally all over the place with this book. This is the first Magdoline Wars book that I have read and I find her very interesting. Grace is living in a situation that is not conducive to her so she takes Ian up on his offer. All she has to do is cook a meal every night and she has free rent, to go to be true something so! Ian has rules that seem out of the ordinary to Grace but what the heck. These two have some wicked chemistry and it slowly grows but will the skeletons in their closets tear them apart before they have it all. I have never been so on my seat as I was with this read. I had a huge book hangover after reading and I am still thinking about this read still. You want suspense, spice, intrigue, and mystery this is the read.

This is book one in the War on Destiny series and oh boy I cannot wait to read the next. Juliana the protagonist made me laugh with her snappy remarks and sarcasm, and made me cry with every heartbreak she is faced with which are numerous. She starts out as a stubborn 15 year old and blossoms into a force to be reckoned with. I found myself rooting for Adam and Samuel at every turn hoping someone could give her all the love she needs. It’s been a while since I have read a book as quickly as I finished this one. This book was a lovely read with a fresh take on vampires that left me thirsting for more.

Grace and Ian become roommates because of circumstances that have Grace needing to move out of her friend’s place quickly. Ian has a very big secret that he’s trying to keep from ever coming out. Grace has some issues in her past that she’s not sure she will ever be ready to talk about. The chemistry between these two is off the charts. This book had romance, pain, love, a shocking surprise that I didn’t see coming, great characters and so much more. This is the first book I have read by this author but it definitely won’t be the last. This author wrote a great story that I highly recommend.

I was obsessed with this series from the beginning! Definitely read the first books in the series, as they follow the same storyline and you would be missing crucial information if you don’t! Vanessa goes through alot in the span of these four books. Going along with her on the journey was quite the ride. I enjoyed meeting each of her immortal men, and the conclusion wrapped it up nicely. Honestly, I cannot pick which immortal man I liked best, but you dont even have to choose! The story is filled with romance, spice, family, and mahem from the very first book. If you have been thinking about giving this series a go, do it. I will be looking out for more from this author.

It Just Comes NaturalIt Just Comes Natural by Brooke May
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This third book in the Powder River Pack series may be my favorite one so far. After all there is romance, mystery, intrigue, duty, responsibility and fate. What more could you want?

Brandon is the pack jokester, likes to have a good time, but realizes it’s time for some responsibility and joins the military. One crazy night on the town he meets the one person that can turn him inside out and change his life, his fated mate. Macy goes into the town to let loose, and finds the undeniable attraction she has toward Brandon. They have one great night together when reality steps in and pulls them apart. Macy runs away and Brandon must leave early for his military service.

Once his military obligations are complete, Brandon returns to his hometown desperate to find the one who got away and took a piece of him with her. He knows it’s a longshot but fate must be smiling down on him and he finds Macy in the local bar. Can Macy overcome her feelings of the past to build a future with Brandon? This book has everything you could wish for in a shifter romance and I lost sleep over this book because I just couldn’t put it down. I recommend you read the other books in this series so you get to know the other pack members though this can be read as a standalone book. I cannot wait to see what else this author has in store for us next!

Seductively Yours is the third book in the Titans of Manhattan Series . This is a Contemporary Romance that is Hot and Steamy. This series is on my list of favorites by this author and its definitely going on my list of re-reads. This is a fast paced story that once you start reading you mine as well plan on not being able to stop until you finish. This author continues to amaze me with her attention to detail and I love her style. She puts just the right amount of sizzle and makes me want more. Her characters are fun, relatable and easy to fall in love with. I’ve been patiently waiting for this book and it didn’t disappoint me it blew my expectations out of the water. I do highly recommend reading the first two books if you haven’t already started, they are just as good as this one plus you get to read about the other Titans. This is Mason and Rhyann’s story. She’s got big dreams and one them was being excepted into one of the biggest Ballet schools . She earned a scholarship and soon finds herself needing to make some money as she’s learning everything is expensive. Her roommate suggests Pole Dancing and she then finds herself at Mason’s Club as a dancer. Mason oh Mason he’s one of the Elite Titans of Manhattan and owns a super popular nightclub. He doesn’t do relationships he’s a one night only kinda guy. Rhyann is a familiar face to Mason and he soon realizes why they had a one night stand. You guys I highly recommend reading this book to find out what happens next. Its more than worth it. I can’t wait to read more from this series and this author.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The second book in the Powder River Pack Series is a knock your socks off story. There seem to be stories inside of the main story and the author does a wonderful job bringing them all together.

Rylie is an outdoorsy biologist, not afraid to work and get her hands dirty. After heading back to her hometown eager for the career prospects she might find, she runs into someone that could alter the course of her entire life if she lets him of course. Who is this charmer that she can’t get out of her head? His name is Mason, and he just so happens to be the alpha of the Powder River Pack, single dad and bar owner. Mason has almost all but given up on finding his fated mate and the prospect of raising his son by himself. That is until he catches Rylie’s scent on the dance floor of his bar and is inexplicably drawn to her, but it seems he is not the only one who feels their connection. The unfortunate thing is Rylie has no idea about Mason’s kind and Mason has no idea how she’ll react when she finds out. Can Rylie open herself to the possibility of not only mated to a Werewolf but also the leader of his pack and help him lead? This book gave me all the feels and you can’t help but pull for Mason and Rylie. After all they were literally made for one another, can they get out of their own heads to find their happily ever after? If you love shifter romances, this is one series you should jump on reading!

The characters are realistic and quickly draw in the reader.

I really enjoyed the escape into this world along with the balance of romance and just the right amount of drama. I found that the book was a breath of fresh air.

A Second Chance (The Powder River Pack #1)A Second Chance by Brooke May
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I love all kinds of shifter books and most of them have a fated mate, sometimes things go according to plan and other times not so much. This book will send your emotions on a roller coaster ride, sometimes cheering for Derek and Anabelle and other times yelling at them for being so blind.

Derek and Anabelle find love in each other at a very young age, but even the best love sometimes falls apart. At one point finding themselves apart and broken hearted, each with the same feeling of discontent in future relationships. Annabelle goes off and makes a career for herself, but finds she must return as her estranged father is dying. Out of a sense of guilt and duty she finds herself pulled back to fetterman, Wyoming. Where she must face Derek again except he is no longer the young man she once loved, he is bitter and angry and confrontational. Can Derek and Annabelle find their happy ever after together or is the past too much to overcome? Will Annabelle sacrifice the career she has built for herself for the love of a man she has never gotten over? This is a book all about how we don’t always know the full story when it comes to relationships. It is about overcoming the past and working to build a future worth living for. I loved this book and am super excited to read what comes next for the Powder River Pack!
