Fantasy fans unite! Twilight’s Curse started off full of action and the beginning of a great adventure! I’ll admit I haven’t read too many fantasy books although I love fantasy characters and I’m glad I picked up this book. The characters were amazing. The writing was superb. I felt like I was right there with Nix and Zoe. Gather your elven friends and give this book a chance. You won’t regret it.

Blood Oath (Mafia Elite, book 2) by Amy McKinley – Review by Emily McCoy

Blood Oath (Mafia Elite, #2)Blood Oath by Amy McKinley
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Blood Oath is book two by Amy McKinley in the Mafia Elite series. I absolutely loved the first book and the second one did not disappoint! This story follows Sofia and Enzo in an epic friends to lovers romance. I loved both of these characters so much, they fought so hard for each other during the entire story and I’m so glad they got their ending! Just like the first one this book had me on the edge of my seat. It was exciting, spicy and you could feel the emotion coming off the pages. Their willingness to sacrifice so much for each other had me wanting to sob at certain points. Amy McKinley knocked another one out of the park with this!

Spoilsport (Pierce Brothers Book 2) by Belinda Williams – Review by Lorralei Hoerner

Spoilsport (Pierce Brothers, #2)Spoilsport by Belinda Williams
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This book was sweet, fun romantic comedy about Luke and Nadia. The head strong Nadia has no time for a relationship nor games. After a one night stand with Luke, it was all she wrote. Nadia finds out that Luke was separated from his now ex-wife and she feels like she was lied to. Luke takes life seriously and after one night with Nadia he left his guard down. Luke felt so much spark with Nadia it was hard for him to forget. When Nadia purchases her own home, it becomes more of a hazard. When Luke helps Nadia to fix up her home, her intentions are just that. All business. The banter between Luke and Nadia just made me laugh, she is so head strong, he is serious business. Will Nadia loosen Luke up with this but yet let love come in ? Definitely read this book and find out. I thought this story was light, cute and enjoyable.

LUKE (DEFAULT DISTRACTION #4) by A. S. Roberts – Review by Liz Vrchota

Luke (Default Distraction #4)Luke by A.S. Roberts
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I have really loved all of the Default Distraction books from the get go but, this sucker really took the cake! LUKE has to be the absolute favorite of mine of them all. I really enjoyed him for sure and his daughter Brielle as they fell in love with Nikki, who I also quickly fell in love with. I usually love Rockstar romances but AS Roberts really does a fantastic job of making her characters believable. Even the rockstars. That is not an easy task and I can always relate to them as well which I just love when I read romance novels. These books can all be read as standalones but I would recommend that you read them in order for the maximum enjoyment. Everything really builds and blends so well as you go in my opinion. I can’t wait to see what will come next from Ms. Roberts.

Check InCheck In by Debra Parmley

This book was so sweet! The characters were so relatable, and I loved watching the relationships build. Leann’s growth was amazing to watch! Seeing the very real responses to the conflict was just amazing to read. Honestly though, the story just gave me warm fuzzies seeing the relationships and growth happening!

Shadows of Doubt (A Crawford Mystery) by Merissa Racine – Review by Erica Shoebridge

Shadows of Doubt (A Crawford Mystery)Shadows of Doubt by Merissa Racine
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is a very good crime mystery, I really enjoyed it. There is a lot of detail in the plot, but it is never difficult to keep it all straight, nor veering into boredom with monotony. I do find other books bore me with too many details, but this one was just right. The twists of the plot were very interesting, and definitely kept me guessing. Racine’s writing style is very engrossing, and seemed very realistic in the level of detail about Lauren’s stenography job and how the courtroom works. Great job!

Twilight’s Curse is a story if magical proportions. It is filled with action, romance, and adventure. While it starts off leaving you with questions, Wray masterfully fills those in by intertwining Nix and Zoe’s lives. It was a well rounded story that held my interest!

A Spell of Rowans by Byrd Nash – Review by Jennifer Gordon

A Spell of RowansA Spell of Rowans by Byrd Nash
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I was gripped from page one by this original story of family secrets, murder and magic. The three Rowan siblings have more than a little magic about them, empathic Victoria who has a talent for reading others feelings, Phillipa, who can charm and bewitch, and Liam who with one touch of any object can reveal its secrets. As children they were raised by a narcissistic mother who would twist their magic for her games and this has affected them all in adulthood. Vic has moved away from her childhood home in Grimsby but returns on the death of her mother, Rachel. The siblings find themselves faced with the consequences of their mothers actions, as she used her antique shop as a front to torment the residents of Grimsby. Discovering their secrets and then blackmailing them. Vic has spent years working in the city, ignoring her past and hiding her powers but when her autistic brother Liam is arrested she has to stay and discover the truth. In order to help her siblings she now has to confront her past and use her powers. Making her life even more complicated is the boy she once dated and dumped who says that he knows the truth about her.

This story was so much more than a small town Murder mystery, it has a dysfunctional family with an abusive mother, secrets, blackmail, magic and a hint of romance. I was hooked from start to finish and found myself completely immersed in this unique story. The atmospheric and slightly claustrophobic small town setting really came alive through the authors wonderful descriptive narrative. The characters are all unique and fascinating and bring a different element to the storyline. I liked the use of magical realism within the story itself and the plot twists kept me in suspense until the last page. The novel does contain some triggers especially in regards to child abuse and trauma but these are dealt with sensitively. Although this was a rather dark and uneasy read at times it was also addictive and a real page turner. I can honestly say I’ve never read anything else like it and I would definitely recommend ‘A Spell of Rowans’.

Come Back Tomorrow (Embrace Tomorrow Duet Book 1) by Amy Argent – Review by Hansini Wasalamudalige

Come Back Tomorrow (Embrace Tomorrow, #1)Come Back Tomorrow by Amy Argent
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

‘Come Back Tomorrow’ by Amy Argent follows clinical psychologist Tori Somerset as she befriends cancer patient Will Everson who seemingly has given up on life and surrendered himself to a fate of being alone. If wholesome and sweet romances are your bread and butter, then this book isn’t one to miss- Tori and Will’s relationship is beautifully written and incredibly compelling. It’s not hard to see why the pair are destined to be together as they treat each other with kindness, respect and courtesy. Despite the book primarily taking place in a single place, it manages to feel much larger in scale- Tori’s big heart and Will’s sarcastic wit going leaps and bounds further than the confines of the hospital. Their chemistry is palpable and their affection towards each other is undeniably evident, which makes Will’s dire circumstances all the more heart-breaking. Despite the genre of the book, Argent refuses to shy away the ugliness of cancer and the massive toll it can take on a person’s health, and the story is all the more stronger for it- other novels with similar premises tend to sugar-coat or romanticise the illnesses they portray but ‘Come Back Tomorrow’ doesn’t fall into this trap. Argent thoroughly and clearly describes the way the cancer has affected Will- not only on his body but also on his mind, emotions, perspective and relationships.

A romance novel is only as good as its romantic leads and ‘Come Back Tomorrow’ doesn’t disappoint. Will has a penchant for painting, cats and comics and, beyond his understandably aloof exterior, he is arguably kind to a fault- willing to sacrifice his own comfort and happiness so as to not trouble and sadden the people he cares about. Tori is similarly compassionate- not only is her very career predicated on the notion of helping people but she does so in her spare time, which is what leads her to Will in the first place. She spends her time befriending those who seemingly have a very limited support system to assist them during their illnesses- bringing light and love to those who need it the most. These two truly good souls are a match made in heaven, and it’s a delight to read about their journeys to each other.

In conclusion, if you’re in the mood for a sweet and compelling romance, then ‘Come Back Tomorrow’ is a book you’re not going to want to put down.

Love’s Reverie (The Stardust Duet, Book 2) by KG Fletcher – Review by Tamisha Janay

Love's Reverie (The Stardust Duet, #2)Love’s Reverie by K.G. Fletcher
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is the second half of the series from KG Fletcher. I was just as satisfied with this book as I was with the first. The characters are just as unique here, and the story keeps you on the edge of your seat. We start right where the last one ended. Phillip decides to follow Kat into the future and potentially get his happily ever after. Brand new identity to avoid anyone realizing he’s a time traveler? Check. An altercation with Spencer AGAIN? Check. Surprises that cause everything to go wrong more than once? Check. I have read multiple time travel novels. I stayed away from them for a long time out of fear that they would all have the same premise and not keep my attention. I am so thankful that these books crossed my path and will gladly be reading any and everything that I can get my hands on by this author. If you’re looking for something that will keep you engaged from page one until the very end, these are most definitely the stories for you. If given the opportunities and challenges they were given, what would you do? Grab both halves of the story today! You will not be disappointed!

The Groomsman (Unexpected Series – Book 2) by Marina Hanna – Review by Desiree Ottinger

The GroomsmanThe Groomsman by Marina Hanna
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Mark and Lauren are two people on different paths in life until their best friends get married and they find themselves spending the night together. Of course, they THINK that it’s a one and done kind of thing until they find themselves drawn to each other again and again and – you got it- again. In the turmoil of them trying to figure out how to work together to both achieve a relationship that will work, secrets come to light on both sides. When push comes to shove, they have to decide if they will be able to work through their pasts in order to make a life together.

I feel like Ms. Hanna did a wonderful job of writing Mark and Lauren’s story in finding love. I was drawn to the Lauren and her girl friends’ friendship. While I could not particularly identify with Lauren, I have many friends who, I imagine, could. Mark was- what I think- a typical man who has been on his own for too long, playing by his own rules would be like. I enjoyed getting to see his world get rocked by Lauren.

Absolutely, an adult read!

Cross-Country Christmas (A Silver Buckle Brides Romance) by Laurie Lewis – Review by Karen Pearman

Cross-Country Christmas (Silver Buckle Brides #1)Cross-Country Christmas by Laurie L.C. Lewis
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

So, this is the first book I have read by this author, so I wasn’t quite sure what I was getting my hands on. However, I am a sucker for Christmas stories and a friend was reading it, so I thought why not. I’m glad that I did. Since I have finished this book we have had a couple of conversations over coffee about how much we loved it. It’s a wonderful, heartwarming family story. The holidays seem to be a time in the lives of family with strained relationships that can make it hard on everyone. And sometimes the holidays are just what’s needed to bring families back together. This book is filled with some of that sort of family drama and how love can help mend broken hearts. This is a very “clean” book in that there is no bad language or sexual filled scenes. There are some religious undertones in the story but nothing more than some scriptures. I liked this book and recommended it for anyone looking for a charming Christmas story.

Tenacious (Billionaire Bodyguards Book 6) by Via Mari – Review by Angela Packard

Tenacious (Billionaire Bodyguards # 6)Tenacious by Via Mari
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is book 6 in the Billionaire Bodyguards series. This is the first book I have read, it can easily be read as a standalone book…. but it does intrigue me to go back and read the others to find out how we got to where we are.
This is Nick and Allie’s story. Allie is a nurse who from the start puts her patients and fellow staff first. An accident has her rushing to the hospital leaving a dinner party of her best friends. Nick does security and after meeting previously, has not been able to get Allie out of his thoughts. He personally decides to take over Allie’s security detail. Will Allie let him protect her? Will Nick be able to protect her from the dangers that are lurking?
I feel like I bonded with the characters in the book. The writing flows in a way that you don’t realize how long you have been immersed in their world.

The Elements of the Crown (The Elements of Kamdaria Book 1) by Kay L. Moody – Review by Santana Hicks

The Elements of the Crown (The Elements of Kamdaria, #1)The Elements of the Crown by Kay L. Moody
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The Elements of the Crown was a fantastic journey. Talise was a wonderful character. Growing up in “The Storm” put her at a disadvantage throughout most of her life but she worked hard and it shows. At a young age she was already shaping elements much better than other children her age. Fast forward 10 years and she has a chance to work alongside the emperor as a “Master Shaper”. Her only nemesis being Aaden, who is just as good if not better at shaping then her.

Aaden comes from the richer part of the world and has had everything handed to him. When the time comes to put their skills to the test for the emperor, he can’t decide who to take so he takes both of them. The emperor then puts the two through a series of trials to see who really is the better Master Shaper.

This book has so many twists and turns. It was hard to put down. The biggest twist of them all was a major “wait, what?” moment which I enjoyed immensely. Kay L. Moody is an amazing writer. I was hooked from the first chapter. I would highly recommend this series. After reading this first book, I will definitely be looking into Kay L. Moody’s other writings!

Fate, Frankincense & Funerals by Naomi Valkyrie – Review by Ashleigh Sherel-Kidd

Fate, Frankincense & FuneralsFate, Frankincense & Funerals by Naomi Valkyrie
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I originally picked up this title as a light little Halloween read. My first story by Naomi Valkyrie, I was immediately sucked into the beautiful world she’s created.
There’s something really beautiful about a love story set against the backdrop of death. I felt myself reminded a bit of Egyptian mythology, which made the story even richer for me, personally.
Acheron is a Vulture shifter- he touches and cares for the souls of the dead. Because of this, he’s seen as unclean, and he stays to himself. When he takes a job in the city, he finds himself drawn to Errapel, who is nursing the soul headed for death. By law, Acheron cannot take a mate, but as the two work together, we find ourselves wondering if the law is enough to keep them apart.

Truthfully a gorgeous short story, bursting with a myriad of emotions and brilliant storytelling. I really enjoyed Naomi’s storytelling, even though I’m not generally a sci-fi reader. She will definitely go on my “Always read,” list after this stunner of a story.

This one was like going out with girlfriends. It was written like your best friend was sharing some of her best romances with you. They have some challenges to face, a few strong ones; but together they make it through even stronger. What starts as a one night stand can develop into an amazing love. It’s a quick read and will give you some heartfeels. It was a great read for short weekend. Loved every minute of the book. Highly recommend.

Twilight’s Curse by K.M. Wray is the first book in the Twilight Realm Trilogy. This is a brilliant YA fantasy book that really captures interest of all readers.
The story is an exciting one. It grabs your attention right from the start and really pulls you into it. Zoe and Nix are such great characters. They for me make the story. It can like you could really connect with them and the journey they go on.
This is the first book that I have read by this author and it was definitely a good one yo start with. I think it really showcased how strong the writing is and I am excited to ready the rest of the Trilogy.

Well, this chapter in the series was excellent and intense. The action was strong and gripping. I took my phone everywhere because I couldn’t stop listening. The characters seem to be well-developed. I love the fact that audio gives them an extra layer of personality. Don’t we all wear msdks while trying to solve problems? That seems so hard to hide who you are while going about daily life. I am a huge fan of this series. I definitely recommend this one to the sci-fi and fantasy lovers.

Twilight’s Curse is the first in a fantasy series about the Twilight Realm.
We find the story centered on Zoe, a magical elf with a long history of abuse, and Nix, the son of the King and Queen of the Twilight Realm.

An intriguing YA fantasy novel, this story had a likeable cast (although I personally found them hard to connect with), interesting world building and a slow burn romance sure to make you keep turning pages. I enjoyed this coming of age story, and look forward to the next book in the series. Definitely pick it up if you are a lover of fantasy!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I read this series in less than a week, back to back, I couldn’t put it down!
So. Many. QUESTIONS! Of course, I loved it (can I note that I am not normally a huge paranormal fan, but Barrett has written this series in such a way that it doesn’t have me rolling my eyes for how unrealistic ghost stories tend to be… like, I can actually imagine this all happening to someone as it’s being told. COLOUR ME IMPRESSED!) but I am now impatient for the next installment as there was a teaser at the end and it did its job. It teased. I have been teased. Now I want the book!
This installment followed Scott and Zelda again as they went through their lives; their family fuller and happier thanks to the addition of lifelong friends, but of course something is missing. Tragedy strikes, and then it strikes again, and again. They really cannot seem to catch a break. Meanwhile the three-year old little princess is taking everything in stride and their friends are assisting in every way they can. Secrets are revealed, boundaries and relationships are tested, and characters are introduced.
Can’t wait for the next book and to see what literary 180 Barrett will take this time!

The GroomsmanThe Groomsman by Marina Hanna
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I really enjoyed this hot and steamy romance. The characters were really likeable and like.most people both hold secrets that they don’t willingly want to share.

Mark and Lauren meet at their best friends wedding and typical to tradition the bridesmaid gets off with the groomsman. For both of them it was just supposed to be a one night stand, neither of them expected their worlds to be shook to the core.

Meeting again they both agree to no commitments. However that turns out to be harder than either of them expected. So their feelings for each other grow they find it hard to draw the line between no strings fun and wanting more.

Lauren has trust issues which makes it harder for her to trust Mark so when he’s being hot and cold with her it sends her mind into a paranoid turmoil but does she have a right to be paranoid?

Mark has never let his guard down with anyone do finding that Lauren is breaking down his walls freaks him out. Can he let Lauren completely in and let her know the secret he’s hiding or will they end up breaking each others hearts as their secrets reveal themselves?
