Daisy’s Darkness (Wheels & Hogs Book 6) by D.M. Earl – Review by Tracy Wilkin

Daisy's Darkness (Wheels & Hogs #6)Daisy’s Darkness by D.M. Earl
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Daisy’s Darkness is book six in the Wheels and Hogs series by D. M. Earl. Daisy’s story is a beautifully emotional that was as heartbreaking to read as it was heartwarming. Author Earl addresses some issues that our young adults have to struggle with in day to day life. A person is so impressionable at that age and this author has captured all those emotions, highs, lows, extremely well. The story was written very well and the story was really relatable. Daisy does not realise her self worth and is a victim of bullying. Her soul was hurting from the weight she carried and the pain she endured just by surviving another day.

Daisy’s Darkness was an unexpected surprise and the story left me battered but elated that I got to experience it in its raw and life like state. 5 stars.

Sons of Sindicato (Sons of Sindicato ) by Cam Johns & Sonya Jesus – Review by Mrs R

Sons of Sindicato (Sons of Sindicato #0)Sons of Sindicato by Cam Johns
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I loved this novella, I really enjoyed how it was based on the wrong side of the law, with the Mafia family being the main characters.
Seth is the son of the Mafia boss, Braelynn is the criminal attorney who saved him from going to prison, and t1hey have been in a secret relationship ever since.
Seth believes his father would disapprove of her skin colour and not being Italian, whilst Braelynn is worried that sleeping with a client could cause her lose the career she’sworked so hard for.
When Braelynn needs Seth’s help, it becomes time to lay everything out and make some tough decisions about their future.
There was a lot going on in this story and I really enjoyed how it all tied in together. It gives a bit of an insight into how the Giordano family maintain their status. The interaction between Seth and his brother Dane was really entertaining to read and brought some light humour to the story.
This is a great introduction to the series and I definitely want to read the next book in the series to see what happens to them all next.

Kissing the Kavalier by Annette Nauraine – Review by Jenni Bishop

Kissing the KavalierKissing the Kavalier by Annette Nauraine
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Kissing the Kavalier by Annette Nauraine is a delightful historical romance set in 1867 Austria. It is rich in culture and details and gives you a vivid image of her narrative.

Countess Zdenka bucks all social convention when she sets about to find a husband for her sister but inadvertently falls for the one person she shouldn’t.

Kissing the Kavalier is Annette’s debut book and a poignant love story based on the opera, Arabella.

Jordan’s Shadow by T.R. Cupak
Four Stars

Jordan’s Shadow is a psychologically dark romance by T.R. Cupak. This is my first read by this author. I look forward to reading more of her book. This book had my emotions rub raw and it left me with a book hangover. I just keep thinking about it, and that to me is the definition of a great book. Jordan is a very strong character who is also troubled by events that happen in her life. This book was well written and had me enthralled and wondering what was going to happen next. If you like dark romance with some twists, you should read this book.

Twisted Throttle (Satan’s Devils MC Second Generation #3) by Manda Mellett – Review by Gail Guerrero

Five Stars

Another awesome MC read! I don’t know why I’m so addicted to MC books. Manda Mellett has written some of my favorite reads about MCs. These guys are big and bad but once that special person comes along you see a side of them you couldn’t even picture. This story definitely didn’t disappoint. We get to meet a child of one of the original MC members Peg. Noah aka Throttle is dark but sweet. He has his issues but he’s definitely a protector. He was made for the MC life. When his sisters childhood friend Gwen comes back around he feels nothing but a need to protect her. When someone seems to be stalking him he doubles his efforts to protect her. I definitely enjoyed his fall into love. When he definitely didn’t want it he found his other half. Gwen was extremely sweet and soft spoken. I found that they complemented each other well. I have enjoyed every book I have read by Manda Mellett let’s hope there are more to come.

Love Between the Lines is the first book in this series and I enjoyed this read a lot! As a new to me author, it takes a couple chapters to get into the groove of their writing styles and I got lost in this one pretty quickly. I love that the main characters are an author and a cover model. These two were great to read about and will be looking for more books from this author.

Love Between The Lines (Book One of the Page Turners series) by A.D. Brazeau was a really good read! This wasn’t a bad read by any means, but from reading the synopsis of the book I thought I would enjoy it more. Not to say I didn’t enjoy reading this book, it was interesting and a good read. It just didn’t hold my attention like the synopsis and cover led me to believe it would. The characters were very interesting, I loved the storyline and the content, and it was an enjoyable and interesting read. I can’t wait to read the next installment to this series and more from this author in the future!

Forged By Secrets is the third novel in the Deadly Isles Special Ops series by Amy McKinley. This is another excellent romantic suspense story. It is filled with second chances, secrets, danger, action, adventure, violence, drama, sizzling heat, tension, mystery, surprising developments, and plenty of intrigue; everything you could want in a read. McKinley has a talent that shows in her writing and is far beyond the imaginable. I would highly suggest reading the previous two books before reading this one. I have enjoyed Amy McKinley from the first book I picked up of hers.

4-stars

This is the 6th book in the Wheels & Hogs series and also my first book by this author. In saying that I can say that this book can be read as a standalone. I was able to piece everything together without any issues.

This book started off so strong with Daisy’s dairy logs and didn’t not let up until the end. Each chapter kept me sitting on the edge of my seat waiting to find out how everything was going to play out.

This author did an amazing job with writing this story, it’s incredibly heart breaking, intense, emotional and truly tragic. This story hits on so many real issues that young people face every single day, from bullying, eating disorders, self-harm and suicide. There were times where I found it hard to read for those reasons but I loved how the story sheds light on real life.

I would absolutely recommend this book to anyone looking for an emotional read!

By Amy McKinley

This has been an awesome series. This is the third book in this series and although it can be read as a standalone it is my suggestion that you read all three in order. This story is full of action, romance, great characters and more. Because of Malina’s past she won’t allow herself to get into a relationship even though she finds herself attracted toTyler. All that Tyler wants to do is be with Malina and help her out of the trouble she finds herself in when she gets accused of treason. I found myself rooting for these two since the start. I could not put this book down once I started reading it, I was completely hooked. This is a must read if you want to find out what happens with these two. This author did an exceptional job pulling me into the story and keeping me entertained. I highly recommend this book.

She does not have any magic, but she is trying to figure out what is happening. I highly recommend this book, I cannot wait to see what is going to happen next.

This is the first book in the Evil Sushi series. This is a Paranormal Horror novel and is 219 pages. This story follows two east coast fisherman who are just trying to survive in their small town. This story is set not too much farther in the future and meat has been banned for consumption, so that only leaves fish. This book kind of shows what will happen with pollution and climate change. With corporate fishing taking hold, it is becoming harder and harder to fish. While out on a fishing expedition, they find something. It is either going to be good or go very wrong. This was a such a great read!

Daisy's Darkness (Wheels & Hogs #6)Daisy’s Darkness by D.M. Earl

This book, by far, is one that has made me cry the most. Daisy dealt with so much in her young life. It was just heart breaking the things she endured. She felt she couldn’t go to her family in fear of basically be judged as crazy. She had a circle of friends who, along with her, were being bullied. They had each others backs. It breaks my heart the things that kids who are bullied endured. I felt as if, even though she was mad at first, she felt relieved when her brother found out the secrets she was keeping. It was then she found out her family would support her no matter what. When a friend commits suicide Daisy takes hard. With the help of her immediate and extended family she is able to get the help she needs. I was happy to see that Daisy was able to have a happy ending.

To Be A Fae Queen by Tricia Copeland is the first book in the Realm Chronicles series. This is a YA fantasy book that has such a heartwarming and engaging character right at its centre. Although you are reading about a young girl I found that it was really easy to picture what she was going through. She has such a difficult and tumultuous journey and yet she faces it all with such a strength.
I thought the book was really well written. The author has created an interesting fantastic world that really does pull you in from the start. As the first book in the series I thought it was a strong start and I am looking forward to what comes next.

This book is no exception. I instantly fell in love with them and couldn’t put the book down until I had read their story. It is full of twists and turn and I couldn’t put the book down at all.

I’m absolutely emotionally drained after reading this!! D.M. Earl is an author I’ve come to really respect and I also expect really hard hitting topics in her books, Daisy’s Darkness is a perfect example of this.
Throughout this book I kept trying to remember if bullying was such a huge issue when I was growing up. I just think it wasn’t really talked about. Maybe because of books like this there is more awareness about these problems and hopefully some positive reactions will come out of extremely sad books like this.
But even though it was a really gut wrenching experience it was worth every single word.

City of Whispers (Imperial Assassin Series Book 1) by Katt Powers. This is such a fun, action packed book. It will keep you turning the pages well into the night. This is the 1st book of the series and if it is any indication of the books to come I can’t wait. This one is very multi layered and some of the names I had trouble with pronouncing. You have to really pay attention to keep up so keep that in mind. Its about a character named Dhani who has been accused of murder she didn’t commit. On top of being wrongly accused in trying to clear her name she starts to get death threats from very dangerous people. Dhani is such a kick butt kinda girl but without her magic she is just like everyone else. Will Dhani get her name cleared and get out of the place her magic is no good before its too late?

Two Hearts, One Stone (Boots and Babies) by Leslie Scott

This is the first book I’ve read by Scott, but if she writes like this for all her books then it won’t be my last. Two Hearts, One Stone is a fantastic read. I hope there is more to Stone and Emmy.

Stone Dempsey is the best horse trainer in town. He originally came to town to take care of his sister, but she left him there. She shows up a year later with a sick baby. He rushes to his boss’s house for the Doctor. The quote I chose for Stone is: “There hasn’t been a woman in my bed since the day I met you Emmersyn Cole, and that ain’t because of Maddie. You got under my skin like an itch I can’t scratch. I don’t know how, but I’m going to prove it to you.”

Emmersyn aka Emmy is back in town opening a pediatric clinic. She didn’t think she would find herself falling for the trainer that gets into everyone’s pants. When she sees Stone taking care of his niece she finds herself falling hard. The quote I chose for Emmy is: “No. I’m not. I just don’t want Pop getting his hopes up.”

Highly recommended for Western Romance lovers.

4 ½ Stars

 

Auctioned is the third book in the Billionaire Bodyguards series by Via Mari. I love when I see that Via Mari has released a new book because I know I am guaranteed a really great read. This is a fantastic romantic suspense that’s full of danger, sex trafficking, secrets, hidden agendas, action, mystery, a whole lot of sizzle, intrigue, and so much more.
This book could be read as a standalone, as each book in the series focuses on a different couple. But I recommend reading the previous two books before starting on this one, because they are really great stories in their own rights- as well as having recurring characters who you will want to know more about.
Via Mari is known for her superb romantic suspense stories and this book showcases her talents beautifully. She easily builds gripping suspense, intrigue, palpable tension, and sizzling chemistry- while balancing it all with lighter moments and believable emotion.
Damian has been hired to find the missing niece of Jenny Torzial, whom we first met in the ‘Prestian’ series as secondary character, and then in her own series ‘The Torzial Affair’. Bryanna has found herself in quite the predicament, caught up in a sex trafficking ring. Damian will stop at nothing to find her and return her safely. But Damian soon discovers that it’s not going to be a routine rescue assignment- and he might lose more than his heart in the process.
Another unputdownable read from this talented author!

Thank you, Via Mari!

Auctioned is the 3rd book in the Billionaire Bodyguards series by Via Mari. This is a spin off from her other series’ where we get the stories of the bodyguards who work for the billionaires who starred in previous series by the author. I’m a huge fan of her work having read all but the Prestian affair series of her work. Something I plan to remedy in the future.
I’m always excited to get a new book from Via Mari to read, but to get one with the gorgeous Kamil Nizinksi on the cover is a definite added bonus. I was able to picture him as Damian as I read this book. When Damian is assigned to find missing virgin Bryanna who has been caught up in a human trafficking ring his life is about to change.
I loved Damian and Bryanna’s story. As with all Via Mari’s books, it is hot and steamy and a fantastic read. These two characters are perfect for one another. Damian is a Dominant, whereas Bryanna is submissive and she wants to be dominated by Damian.
This isn’t just the romance story between Damian and Bryanna, there is so much more going on in this book that will keep you hooked to this book and not want to put it down. Via Mari sure knows how to write a fantastic storyline that will have you entertained from the very first page right up to the last. A must read!
