I loved this book. It is the first in a series, and I cannot wait for the next book. The main character is a priest, named Ciaran. He is a celtic priest who is converted to Christianity and is ultimately put to death for his new beliefs. But, he doesn’t die. He wakes up in the year 1966 and meets the lovely Caitlin. It was a lot of fun following Ciaran as he learns about the modern world. It kept me smiling and wondering how he was going to keep his secret. I recommend checking this book out!

Fantastic Book!! Great Historical read. Totally worth the time!! My heart really ached for Emily, whom was caught in the middle between her step brothers financial debt, a bet in which he loses and the people whom try and tear her and the Earl of Lenbridge (Phillip Beckley Benton) apart. I know that the Earl of Lenbridge really loves Emily deep down and I am glad he won against Emily’s step brother. There is some mystery as well to this story. I very much enjoyed this book! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
This story was extremely original! Caitlin, the main character, is an archaeologist which is really cool because she is an obviously intelligent woman, who very clearly knows her craft. All of the characters were relatable, even the relationships with the characters that were not a huge part of the story, like Preston whose purpose was seemingly to annoy everyone, was a relatable character because everybody knows people like that. Caitlin’s intrigue over the mysterious Celt is also relatable, because everyone finds something that they just want to understand. Ciaran’s backstory is heartbreaking, immediately drew me in, and I didn’t want to stop reading. She built a world that captivated me and I wanted to be a part of.

This book was very interesting and a good read. I really enjoyed the paranormal romance with time travel and mystery. Caitlin is an archaeologist finds Ciaran, whom is a priest that is over 1500 years old. Who is Ciaran and why was he buried? The story does go from present to past, and I liked that and it was easy to read and I loved the time travel element. I loved Ciaran’s character, but Caitlin was a bit to strong for me. I cannot wait to see how the story continues.

The continuation to Everly Taylor’s Blue Summer. This second piece once again captivated my attention, I couldn’t put it down! This book begins with Lillie once again being held captive by the sorcerer Erius. Lillie, as always is too feisty to be taken down, makes her move to get back to the Zayed and the new found family she is creating. This book is filled with action and some very steamy parts that will keep you entertained throughout.

The intensity of the love that Mila and Dane have for each other is so beautifully captured in this book. They way they overcome their fears to be together and decided to just do it despite everything that happen. I was swooning! Not to mention the glimpses we got of Seth and Braelynn and even Gia! There was so much character growth in this book, I ate it up! Getting to look into the lives of this Mafia Family, how they work, love and live is so fun. I am enjoying this series so much! I would definitely recommend this to anyone who loves a good romance and Alpha males who only kneel to their women! Brink of Denial By Cam Johns and Sonya Jesus

This book was passionate, thrilling and had me on the edge of my seat. Braelynn Shaw is an ambitious, lawyer who works hard and plays harder! She is the very definition of Bold and Beautiful! When Seth was introduced, I knew right then this novella was going to be exciting. Seth can only be described as a hot headed, stubborn, and full of passion. I loved watching these characters protect each other with everything in them and go to the mat time and time again for their relationship, despite the challenges they are facing. This is a great start to a Mafia Romance Series; I can only guess how good the next books will be! Sons of Sindicato by Cam Johns & Sonya Jesus

Kissing Scars wasn’t a book I would typically read. It took me a while to read it even though it was a short novella. I thought the writing was very good and the characters were very well liked. I’m not sure why I had a hard time getting into it but it was of no fault of the author. This was the first book I have read by him and wasn’t really sure if I was going to be into the book or not.
It was a sweet read about 2 romantics who end up falling for each other. They are very different. There’s a big age difference between the two and they are on different paths. Will they be able to make it work or is there just to much that they cannot see past? Again I thought it was very well written and I give the book 4 stars.

This is for those over 18 only due to adult content within.
Kaysee Belluomo is a vampire, but she isn’t just any vampire, she is the head of the Milite Coven along with her husband Dominic Belluomo and they are the elite of the elite of vampires, but one day in 2030 that changed when they were made aware of an individual who was creating a hybrid of a lycan and a vampire to create a new super race of supernaturals. Unfortunately, reports were that slowly but surely, they were taking over the USA and recruiting to their coven with the promise of power and a better life and most were taking the vampire in charge of it up on his offer because of his talent for persuasion. On this particular day they had invaded the Milite Coven headquarters and that is not something that Kaysee is impressed with in the slightest, however, her husband’s reluctance to do anything apart from strategise and make plans has Kaysee all riled up and after blood.
Forty years later and Kaysee’s predictions have come true and the Milite Coven have moved to Las Vegas in the hopes that they can find a food source and stay one step ahead of the hybrids following them, however, this plan hasn’t worked and the Coven’s members have diminished from over a hundred to six including Kaysee, her husband and her son. As they go hunting for hybrids in McCarran Airport Kaysee is still being undermined by the men in the Coven and she is getting sick of it, however, because she is a deadly fighting machine and completely head over heels with her husband, she goes along with the plan, albeit reluctantly, however, on one of these hunting trips things start to go wrong. After they have returned to the hotel and Kaysee finds out that her son has spoken to the leader of the enemy and has some opinions on him that don’t quite match up to his parents one, an argument ensues and loyalties are questioned and the next day while going to confront said leader, they split into teams and some split off on their own, however, when the time comes to leave, some of her Coven are captured and turned into more of the hybrid puppets. Due to this unexpected loss, the Belluomo’s decide to recruit some newborns from a group of humans who are still left in Las Vegas, so after they feed, they start taking the group back one by one to rebuild the Milite Coven back up.
When two of the missing coven members return to their home base, one is completely won over and the other is the opposite, enhanced, but still loyal to a fault, so when they are ambushed by hybrids and lycans alike on home turf, Kaysee does everything in her power to protect those who are left, however, her husband is kidnapped and flown out of the USA and overseas to Europe. Kaysee is devastated and retreats into herself for a few days before snapping back out of it and planning the rescue of the two men she loves most. Will Kaysee be able to successfully rescue her husband and son all while wiping out the rest of the Hybrid Coven, or will the past come back to haunt them and reduce their plans to cinders? This is a rip roaring romp of a paranormal romance with passion, violence and sex throughout which leaves you on no doubt of who is in charge and what happens when a female vampire is scorned.
Ciarán is a pagan priest in the Kingdom of Connachta in Ériu, however, a twist of fate has led him to an unfortunate event and a gathering storm is showing the displeasure of the Goddess he has sworn allegiance to. His crime was falling in love, marrying the woman and converting to her religion in the process and this angered the priests who raised him, welcomed them into their ranks and gave him the honour of being a Child of the Goddess whose role in the priesthood was to create the new generation of these chosen. This is why he is being condemned to eternal living confinement in a tomb and his wife is to suffer the trifold death while he watches on, tears Ciarán apart and the guilt he feels for this act of love is immense. As he is forced to drink the elixir which places him in the bodily state needed for his punishment, he learns some truths which shatter his whole world and repair it at the same time, he only has time to pray to his God as he slowly freezes into a state of living death.
Caitlin O’Connell is an archaeologist working on a dig in County Mayo in Ireland when she discovers a tomb on a hillside with an inscription which details who is interred there and why, but the why leaves more questions than answers and when the team open up the tomb and find a fifteen hundred year old body still in pristine condition. She has had to deal with a lot while on this site, a certain lack of respect from her coworkers, but nothing is as annoying and trying of her patience than the son of the digs benefactor who has no idea what he is doing or how the things he does on site can affect the whole dig, but when he tries to mess with the body and attacks one of the team members at the same time, leniency is not in his immediate future, despite who his father is. As the dig progresses and more tombs are found, there is a mystery as the differences between the three become apparent, however, when they are taken to three different museums around the world for display, things are even more strange when the body starts to bleed and stories of it opening its eyes start to circulate. Meanwhile, Ciarán is slowly waking up from his imprisonment and as he does, he is plagued by dreams and memories of his past, his childhood, his lady love and the revelations he has yet to process, however, he cannot understand where he is and how the invisible barrier is holding him in, so he decides to break out of the prison and find out what is happening.
Caitlin is dealing with the jet lag and all the responsibilities which have come with this new discovery, until it all comes to a head when one night the body just disappears after the glass display it was being preserved in is shattered and there are no leads as to where the priest has been taken. The police are trying to investigate, but with no leads and the benefactor being unimpressed with the handling of the situation and a copycat scenario on the other side of the world, both the dig and the investigation are closed, meanwhile Ciarán has made his way through the mysterious city he has woken up in to arrive at a church of the God he now believes in and is taken in by the Priests who live there, they care for him, feed him and make sure he has everything he needs, however, as he recovers from his plight, he doesn’t realise that Caitlin is the niece of one of the Priests and as much as he tries to deny it, there is an attraction there, but she is determined to uncover the truth behind both the missing Priest and the mysterious newcomer to the Parish who seems to know more than he is letting on, especially when he has an encounter with the police, where he sees something which reminds him of someone from his past he has no wish to see upon the earth once more.
As Caitlin is finding more questions than answers in her need to seek out the truth, will Ciarán let his past slip out and reveal his true identity to the world, or will his secrets catch up with him in more ways than one? Will Ciarán’s physical attraction to Caitlin lead to something more, or will the things he has endured create a blockade they cannot break down? This is a supernatural story with a historical and romantic twist where pagan rituals, religious beliefs and archaeology are mixed together to create a complex story of love, loss, life and death which is compelling throughout.

I fell in love with this romantic comedy novella which is inspired by a true story. When Sanaya, a computer games designer left her home in India to move to Australia and expand her carer she also had dreams of one day falling in love and having a baby. However, when she meets and falls in love with a mobile games pioneer Leo who is divorced with three kids her clear plan suddenly isn’t so clear, especially when Leo announces he does not want anymore children. Meanwhile, Leo who is a born romantic has promised himself that when his youngest son turns eighteen that it will then be his time to follow his dreams, of writing magazine stories around the world. But then he meets and falls in love with Sanaya but she wants a baby and his romance rule is, no more children. In this heartwarming romance, “they discover love writes its own rules”. This wonderfully written novella took me on an emotional rollercoaster whilst reading it and I was hooked from start to finish. The authors detailed and descriptive narrative bought both the setting and the likeable and relatable characters to life making me feel fully immersed in their love story.

I enjoyed this paranormal story. This is a newer author for me and I look forward to reading the next book in this series. This is a well written story where good and evil seem to collide. The characters are relatable and bring the story to life. The twists and turns not only heat up the pages but also left me questioning what would happen next. Vanessa has the ability to bring out the good in people. She has problems but they are about to get a little worse. Throughout the story she is faced with three men, all different. She is about to have three more problems. The story is full of action and hot, steamy men. I enjoyed the growth throughout the story as well as being pulled into the story. This is a great story and I highly recommend it.

Dirty Tactics by Peyton Banks is the first book in the Special Weapons and Tactics series. It is a relatively quick book to listen to and one that is easy to get lost in. The story started strong and drew my attention pretty quickly. I thought Sarena was an entertaining character and I liked her feistiness that came across strong. I also really liked Marcus. The two of them worked well together and seemed well suited.
My only issue is that the story didn’t continue quite as strong as it started. It felt like it was all a little rushed – the events all happening within the space of a couple of weeks – which meant some of the detail had been skipped. I think it would have been better served to draw the story out a bit more, flesh it out and have it last a bit longer. That being said I did enjoy the story and I wanted to know what was going to happen.
Peyton Banks is still a pretty new author to me but I have enjoyed everything I had read so far. I am looking forward to my next audio book by her.

Tally and the Angel : Book One India by Eleanor Dixon 4 out of 5 stars Book One in this series was fabulous. This was adorable. Little Tally finds herself befriending an Angel in the most unusual way. This should be amazing, right? But will this angel keep Tally from finding trouble, repeatedly? The short answer is No. Tally and her Angel will find themselves in a race to save themselves and hundreds of kidnapped children from a fate worse than chores.
This is a super sweet book. Targeted for kids ages 8-12, this is a fantastic fantasy book for the early reader. Dixon has masterfully created a world that the young mind can take and build into their own. A very fun 4 of 5 stars.

Incredible. This book had me on edge the whole book. Who will die? Who will be arrested? Who is behind threats? The characters are so multidimensional you feel like they are real people. You feel the stress the whole family is going through throughout the book. The same characters in book one are in this story too which I quite enjoy. Dane and Milana are a troubled couple who make many mistakes along the way. The story takes you on a journey of self discovery in the brutal mafia world. You get so invested in these characters that you don’t want the book to end. I need book three of this mafia family.

This is the first book that I have read by this author and it was pretty good and different. The characters are well written and the way they play off each other with their little quirks.
Lillie has been kidnapped again by the evil and powerful sorcerer who is obsessed with gaining even more power and believes that Lillie is the key. Escaping from him this time turns out to be much harder but Lillie is desperate to get back to the Zayed before it’s too late.
Can the Zayed or Lillie defeat the evil sorcerer? Will the Zayed have a happily ever after? Will Lillie have a happily ever after with the Zayed?

This is a fun lighthearted romance with an unlikely couple which had me hooked from page one. Zoe Merrill and her brother, Tyler’s ex best friend Damien have a mutual agreement to fake a relationship but the longer they live the lie the less fake their relationship feels. This feel good steamy romance has likeable and relatable characters who’s chemistry sizzles off the page. I found it to be a fairly short read but an action packed one which was enjoyable and engaging.

In this paranormal war between species, Levi and Tasha have to work together against hate and stereotypes to try to build their relationship. But those aren’t the biggest threat to their forbidden passion.
To be completely honest, I’ve never been a fan of first person writing, or series romances that aren’t stand alone novels. That said, first person occasionally works, and this was one of those times. And this book can certainly stand alone if the reader isn’t interested in reading the next challenge held in store for our couple.
Suffice to say I was certainly drawn into their world and I’m sure most will absolutely want to know what happens next. Vampires, werewolves, and an extra dash of intrigue kept me reading into the wee hours of the morning to find out how Levi and Tasha were going to meet all their challenges and still manage to build a partnership that could last in this evolving paranormal world.

The Cross of Ciaran by Andrea Matthews is right up my alley. I am a lover of Historical Fiction and Archaeology, so this book was very intriguing to me. I ended up not being able to put it down, and I appreciate how the story switches from past to present throughout the book. The story follows Caitlin, an archaeologist, who finds the perfect body of a 1500 year old pagan priest buried in Ireland. His body is exhumed and taken to New York where excitement surrounding his body ensues and Caitlin is swept up in some excitement of her own. Lovers of tales like The DaVinci Code and The Mummy will love this book! The characters are well-rounded and multi-dimensional so their plights keep the story compelling. I recommend this story with 5 out of 5 stars.

I thoroughly enjoyed this historical romance with a paranormal twist and could not put this book down. The storyline was fascinating and had me hooked from page one. Archaeologist Caitlin O’Connell unearths the find of the century when a fifth century pagan priest is discovered in Ireland. Caitlin can not believe the perfect condition the Celt’s body is in, after all it was entombed fifteen hundred years ago. Caitlin accompanies the body back to the New York museum where she works so she can study him and discover more about the mysterious priest. However, before she can start work the priest disappears without a trace, leaving rumours circulating about the theft and the excavation’s benefactor pulling out of the expedition. Meanwhile, Ciarán wakes up into a strange new world having been buried alive for a betrayal against his goddess. Having been a priest in the beginnings of Christianity Ciarán seeks help with the parish’s pastor, Father Mike. Although Ciarán slowly gets used to being in his new surroundings and new era he is haunted by dark dreams and disturbing sensations that an evil from his past has followed him.
Caitlin has remained determined to find out what happened to her Celt priest and when she meets Ciarán Donnelly, her Uncle Mike’s new handyman she is convinced that he knows something about the theft. As the mutual attraction between them grows and Caitlin’s personal and professional life starts to blur Ciarán worries that his secrets might prevent them from having a future. This wonderfully written and heartwarming story is full of historical details and along with the descriptive narrative both the characters, the setting and the eras are bought to life. I felt completely immersed in the storyline which flows well and the intriguing plot kept me happily turning the pages well into the night.

What a thrilling final book in the Antipodes series!! T.S. Simons astounds me with her creative ability to write such an outstanding series. I’m truly sad that this is the last book.

Blue Summer, Part Two continues where Part One finished so the books do need to be read in order to fully enjoy this entertaining and engaging paranormal, fantasy romance. In this story our heroine, Lillie has been kidnapped again by the evil and powerful sorcerer who is obsessed with gaining even more power and believes that Lillie is the key. Escaping from him this time turns out to be much harder but Lillie is desperate to get back to the Zayed before it’s too late. I liked seeing how Lillie’s character had grown and developed during this story and thought she was a great main character who bought the story together. I also liked how her relationship with Zayed’s, Chief, Clay, Heath and Brian continued and how their chemistry really came across in the narrative, which led to some steamy scenes. This fairly short but fast paced story is full of drama, suspense, magic and romance and the plot had me hooked from start to finish. The authors wonderful world building and descriptive narrative really bought the Zayed and their community to life and once again I was fully immersed in the story.

T.S. Simons wrote an excellent series with Antipodes. I really love the characters. You learn so much about overcoming obstacles either physical or personal. This second book takes the first book to a much higher level. What an outstanding read!!

Allegra is a law student with aspirations to help the under privileged, and Chase is one of the leaders of an organized crime association.
