My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book is the third installment of the series and all I can say is wow. The series just keeps getting better and better. Once again we are drawn into the stories of multiple individuals that are interwoven into an epic adventure. It is a roller coaster of adventure and drama that leaves you anxious as you read to find out what will happen. I enjoyed my journey in the world created by the author and I look forward to reading more in this series.

My rating: 3 of 5 stars

It was a good story that needed more time. The story spent too much time on building the relationship between co-workers and not enough on the two main characters. Once they spent time together there were some cute moments. The animal story was very funny! I did enjoy the internal musings of Dr. D. He is more than the rumors make him out to be!

Then near the end time jumps forward (not sure how long) and it isn’t stated anywhere til further in the chapter. Maybe an epilogue with saying we are now somewhere else..anyway it would have helped me not be confused and flipping pages thinking I missed something.

All that being said, it is short, sweet and nice. There are humorous and heartbreaking moments. The characters were easy to follow along. I feel this story would benefit from expanding in the second half of the book.

I have read this author numerous times before and usually love her stories, characters and worlds.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Warning there are triggers…

This is the fourth book in the Mafia Elite and they just get better and better. I would recommend you read the other books in the series so you can follow the characters and plots that will lead to one. The characters are amazing I loved their little quirks. The plot and description was amazing.
Mafia princess Elena Caruso has been on the run for years she had to cut all family ties to survive. She has trained for years so when she gets word that her cover has been blown, she attempts to leave but she ends up in the love of her life who in all purposes is now dangerous but she is running from him too.
For years Chicago Mob boss Marco La Rosa thought the only woman he’d ever loved had died years ago. So, when her brother offers him an arranged marriage, he soon finds out she is alive and in danger.
Can Marco get to Elena before her enemies? Will her be able to protect her? Will Elena let Marco help her or will she run from him again? Will Elena go back to the family and will the family welcome her back with open arms?

You will need to read this book to find out the answers to my questions…

Great paranormal romance, unique, nothing I have read before. I really liked the point of view alternating back and forth between Cathy and Daedriel. They are a sweet couple, Cathy really seems like a wonderful woman and this story just made me feel joy that she gets someone good like Daedriel, she deserves all the good, especially with how she helps Victor and his wife. Watching this couple fight off the dark angel agenda, first with Rask is an adventure, there are so many elements I haven’t seen before, everything blue when it comes to Daedriel, a black tourmaline that has been stolen and a dark angel agenda. I can’t wait to see what happens next.

I really enjoyed the idea of this book, and me being greedy wanted more! It was a very quick read for me and I did like it i just didnt feel super connected to the characters as it was fast paced.
With a reputation around the hospital and not trying to tamp the rumor mill down Dr. D isnt what everyone thinks he is.
Emily is a sweet hospital worker going to school to reach her goal.
A chance meeting after hearing rumors and sparks fly with some oops along the way.
I just wanted more!

Oh I just loved this one! Being the first in a new series you could tell this was setting us up for some fun books to be had and I for one and here for it. I loved this fun and sweet, and sometimes sassy paranormal, angel lore, romance read. It had some new elements to it that I hadn’t seen before, and hey that is something we don’t see much of lately. I really only have one negative takeaway, and that is it was just so short. This book could have been longer and I would have devoured it happily as I am sure others would have. I can only hope we will have more story to look forward to in future installments!

I really enjoyed this novel from a newer author that I have enjoyed getting to know. This one really snagged my full attention from the very first few pages and had me hooked until that ‘the end’ that I so much wanted but also didn’t want at the same time. This book really pulls from some of the darkest days in our history with slavery and the love story that this author creates with Leon and Penny I promise will captivate you and make you find a shimmer of hope in this dark time. I fell in love with both of them and could appreciate both of their struggles. I was rooting for them to find the way to heal and somehow find love. This was such an amazing read and I cannot wait to see what we will get next!

Two deaths, one of old age, one of death, brings Ketil and Sigrid back together to solve who the killer is. Has long lost relatives compete to take over their deceased relatives home and power, things go awry and nobody is without suspicion. Although this is the fourth book in the series, it can easily be read as a stand alone. I’ve read the first and this book and didn’t feel like I was lost. The original characters continue to grow while meeting new ones in the series. It still amazes me how even after a few short paragraphs,I find myself disliking or loving a character. Just as you think you know the killer, bam, what a great ending.

This book was a nice mix of historical fiction and murder mystery. This is the first book in the series and is the introduction to the village of Orkney and all the people within the village. Book starts with Sigrid finding an unknown body and the hunt for the murderer is on. At this time Ketil rides in so speak to the Earl of Orkney, Thorfinn and some distressing news. This is when the who done it really starts. I’m not usually a fan of historical fiction but I really enjoyed this book. It had a good mix of character development, mystery, and twists and turns. Sigrid and Ketil make a good team and I hope they continue in reigniting their friendship.

A spider-shifter for a main character makes for an incredible new world of possibilities. I’ve never read anything with a Webmaker before and found this to be a more magical and interesting story because of it. I felt like I was reading the wild-west equivalent of urban fantasy and wasn’t sure what to expect, but thoroughly enjoyed reading more about this world. The story had a great and natural flow to it that got me to read it faster than I would have with a book of a similar length. The author created an amazing tale with a strong, female lead, enthralling plot, and intriguing side characters!

Jump right into political intrigue and well done historical mystery crime solving.

The leader of the hall of Buckquoy dies. There needs to be a replacement but there is no male heir. There is an illegitimate son, a nephew and a local all who could assume the role and an Earl has to decide.

The leaders wife, now a widow has a daughter who seems to have her favorite to take over, but when the daughter turns up murdered so many questions ensue. Who killed her, and why? is it to influence the selection of the leader? is the mother involved, is it completely unrelated?

this story is a great historical crime novel which will both let you learn of culture, political intrigue and hierarchy but also have you lost in this story desperate to find out what actually happened.

You won’t regret this read!

I’ve read many books from this author and it’s not her usual type of book. They are usually filled with supernatural adventures. This was a quick read that was steamy and funny. When Emily told Desmond that her goldfish was named Dr. D, I was crying from laughing so hard. The characters at this hospital are the type that you will want to read more about. The only thing that prevented me from giving it a five star rating is that I felt the ending was rushed but other than that, this book was great.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I thoroughly enjoyed this historical crime novel and quickly got into the story despite not having read the previous books in the series. The storyline is set on the Orkney Islands during the Viking era and the author does a great job at bringing this period to life and making the reader feel immersed in the setting. Thorfinn has to appoint a new leader at Buckquoy but bitter rivalries emerge and a woman dies. Ketil and Sigrid must then work together to discover who the killer is, and defend themselves. Luckily this is not the first time they have found themselves in the middle of a murder mystery. I liked the main characters and found them likeable and relatable and could definitely tell they had chemistry between them, even if they didn’t. The book is written from both of their points of view which helped make me feel engaged with them and the story. The storyline flowed well and the plot had me hooked till the last page. I am keen to read the previous books in the series now.

This is an original and interesting story that is so easy to read. I connected with this book straight away, especially the characters. I thought the were written so well. They just fit together. The connection between them was engaging and easy to believe. I really wanted to read more about them.
The story had a great balance of romance and fantasy. Neither overtook the other and for me that made the story better. This is a strong start to a new series and I am excited to see what else the author has in store for us.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This book finds Matt’s journey taking a different path from Julia and Dan. He has to journey through different universes to save not only ours but also those in the MultiVerse. When his friends are kidnapped, he is greatly tested. His archenemies are trying to distract Matt from his purpose of saving the world. Will he be able to focus on what needs to be done and trust others to rescue his loved ones? Or will he let his emotions get the better of him?

I enjoyed this book as much as the others! It is a fascinating read in how you see past characters come back into the story and how timelines feed into the completion of their paths. I appreciated reading the thoughts of the characters as they face challenges and how they also give different perspectives in conflict. I felt like by reading their thought processes, my way of thinking was challenged.

Hopefully, we will see more stories by this author!

Both have weighty burdens that try to keep them apart from their instant chemistry, but can they make it past all that? Will the temptation of love and passion trump all? Stolen moments, sizzling heat, and intrigue kept me reading page after page. A wonderful historical romance!!

The characters are everything in this story. The whole thing really is about them and their journey. I was lost in their story from start to finish. This book is well written and interesting. I think this is definitely my favourite by this author so far.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

On Orkney’s, a resident of the local village is going about their day to day business when they are informed of an animal being somewhere it shouldn’t be and that they will need to go retrieve it before dark. When they get there, however, instead of finding the animal, they find a body, a body which has been buried using the old ways.

When the village leader is notified, a party go down to the burial site and retrieve the body, however, nobody knows who they are or who may have killed them, so the villagers try to figure it out.

Meanwhile, Thorfinn Sigudarson is returning to his Earldom in Orkney and Caithness from his latest trip, only to find that there has been a killing on the island and that it has brought with it ghosts from his past. This is neither welcome or expected for Thorfinn and so he has both a mystery to since and a past to revisit in order to secure his future, but will he be able to do it all, or with his past catch up with him first?

This is a historical fiction centred around a crime which nobody has claimed and a mystery he is reluctant to solve in case his own skeletons are revealed.

There are a few good words to describe this book. Hot! Steamy! Funny, the laugh out loud kind as well as Heartfelt. Oh and Steamy gets it twice as Dr. Desmond Danielson is just that HOT and STEAMY. Having said that, Dr. D is a pediatrician and one that not only do the kids like him. So do the women working around him. He is just down right loveable, and puts his patients first, before play. Emily works in the ER. She is a good hearted woman who has an attraction to the children in the ER. She is their comfort as they wait for their parents to arrive. Now for the author! This author writes and describes her characters perfectly. She set her story up on the first page and keeps you reading. While this book seems like a short story, it is just the beginning for this Series. I have read many stories from this author and have never been disappointed. Her story is well written and will leave you wanting more. I am looking forward to reading so much more from this author.

Finding new authors is one of my favorite past times. This was the first book I have read by this author and I have to say that I was not let down. I found that the author had a very good way of handling the subject matter she was using reference to in her story. I found that this topic was something I feel would benefit the age group that this book is aimed at. Even though I am older I could relate to the feelings and emotions that the lead character went through. I found this book to be very emotion stirring. I will definitely read more from this author. I really also recommend this for younge readers I am quite sure that they will relate to the main character and it may also help them to be able to talk about their problems.

This is the 2nd book I’ve read by this author and she is a phenomenal writer.  She writes the most beautiful interracial love stories.
I love that the language used in the story reflected the time period that the story was set in. I loved that when it came to some of the relationships, sex and sexuality there where some things explored in the story that could be considered taboo now and would have been highly taboo in that time period. Overall the characters were great, the storyline was great, such a good read. Can’t wait to read more stories like this.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is a really good historical BWWM romance by an author that I have enjoyed reading several times now. Historical romance is a genre that I’m now enjoying more and more but this book is different from those I have read before. This book is set in America in the time that black people were given their freedom.
I have to admit that when I started reading it, I found the use of the ‘n’ word quite hard to read, even though it was coming from a character of colour. I did realise however that this term was used at the time the book was set in and didn’t have the taboo element that is does now.
I did really enjoy reading Leon and Penny’s story. It was very interesting and entertaining to read of a romance between a white man and a black woman at this pivotal time in history and how others saw their relationship was very enlightening.
This is a very hot and steamy read, as once they get together, Leon and Penny can’t keep their hands off each other. So if you enjoy a hot steamy romance then this book is for you.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Having read and enjoyed the previous two books in this series I was eagerly looking forward to this third novel, and I was definitely not disappointed. In this story the exciting but dangerous adventure continues, with Earth and other worlds in the MultiVerse in danger of disappearing from reality. An ancient prophecy had foretold of diabolical plans of an “exceedingly intelligent and powerful being”. However, the outcome is unclear and so a mix of gods and mortals battle for the future of all creation. This wonderfully written novel is an exciting, enjoyable and engaging read with an original and complex storyline which had me hooked from start to finish.

The plot twists kept me gripped until the very last page, and I felt completely immersed in the story due to the authors descriptive narrative. The detailed world building brings the settings and characters vividly to life. I enjoyed ‘catching up’ with some familiar faces and also meeting some new ones. Each character is unique and had their own intriguing backstory which adds to the overall narrative. I couldn’t put this book down and thoroughly recommend it, although I would suggest reading the series in order for maximum understanding and enjoyment.

The book was impossible to put down. Reading , I found there was more to Dr. D thank he wanted to be let on. He was a true mystery, but as with every mystery, there is something hidden that will eventually surface. I smiled a lot when reading this. It did not take me long, as I did not want to put it down. Loved the story and all the characters who intertwined with Dr. D! Wonderful read!

Highly recommend this book, it is a quick read and really brings on the sensational enjoyment with no holding back. The author is a must read as well, if you have not read their books as of yet. Once again I am very happy with their books, and most certainly enjoyed the heck out of this one!

I never can get enough of this amazing and their books! They always give so much, and keep you interested as you read. This one was no different. I loved the historical side to the story. The romance was true bliss, and was not forced at all. Really enjoyed this one.

For me, Leon and Penny were something I thought at first glance, that were never to have a chance with what they could have between them. i loved penny’s personality who could melt the coldest of hearts. And Leon who wanted what he saw and admired, but never expected his walls to crumble. The story was very engaging. The romance was very real and I enjoyed the build up and how things progressed. There was a lot of historical additions to the story that made it very realistic. Very much an amazing read!

This is for sure one of my most favorite books by this wonderful author. I really fell in love with the story and the characters. It was beautiful and haunting, and kept me in anticipation wanting more. I highly recommend this gifted author, and of course this amazing addictive book of a story!
