Curse of the Sands (Relic Hunters, #2)Curse of the Sands by Martin Ferguson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Curse of the Sands (Relic Hunters) by Martin Ferguson is what I would class as good old fashioned action story! It is interesting to read about, filled with fun and adventure. It is an exciting read.
The author has created a story that is highly entertaining and felt like is action packed and fast paced from the start. I could easily imagine the scenes in this book and it made it feel like I was right there with the characters on their discoveries. I loved how the book made me think of the old adventure movies like The Mummy and Indiana Jones. It has such a nostalgic feel to it while a also feeling fresh and new. This is a great book and definitely worth your time.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Grosse Pointe by Natalie Barnes is a brilliant historical fiction novel that will transport you right to the time in which it is set. This book has been so well written you can vividly picture exactly what the author is describing and the characters. I loved Brek and his whole demeanour. He felt so unpolished which is exactly what I would want from his type of character. He for the time and the genre perfectly.
This is the first book that I have read by this author but it certainly won’t be the last. Well written and interesting this is a book I would definitely recommend!

This was a quick little book that I really enjoyed. I like that there were some things that surprised me and then even still went a different direction than I expected. I am not much of a football fan and was still able to keep up with the lingo. The characters in this were very well written and surprising to say the least, Tarrah did a great job building this book not only with the main characters but the background people also. I wonder if there is going to be more in a standard novel with some of the shenanigans that were presented in this quaint little story.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

 

Tidal Love was a really lovely read by K.M. Lowe, I really enjoyed it. I was engaged in the story straight away and I think I most definitely fell in love with the characters Harleigh and Giovani as soon as I started reading about them. After everything that Harleigh had been through I desperately wanted her to find someone who would treat her right and I just knew the moment she met Giovani that he might just be that person for her. I was rooting for them the whole way through.
Alongside the lovely romance story is the wonderful descriptive language the author uses to describe the setting for the story, I really felt like I could imagine what I was reading.
Overall a really lovely story and one that I would highly recommend.

A move across the ocean, a murder across the street from her new home and a game on the dark web. This story was intriguing and had interesting twists and turns. Mystery, crime, police, teenage angst with a splash of romance. This was a page turning thriller worth reading.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Sports romances are a must read usually for me, throw in Brooke May as the author and I am there. I loved She’s No Cowgirl, the fifth book in the My Cowboy Series. Kennedy is a kick butt and take names lead female character. She does her best to fit in in a man’s world and truly wants to play football with the best of them. Unfortunately, or fortunate depending on how you look at it, she doesn’t find her niche quite like she does with writing sports. This brings Hunter into her life and these two are fabulous. I loved the push pull and the way things read so realistically. I felt as if I should be their own cheerleading section at times and found myself giggling at several points. Overall this was a nice escape read for a rainy Sunday afternoon when I needed a little light and happiness in my life. I can’t wait to see what we will get next from Brooke May!

This is the second book in the Tirumfall Trilogy. The adventure of Gant and his friends continues. The world of fantasy and adventure is safe since they successfully defeated evil in the last book.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Tarrah Anders is one of my go to and fav romance authors. She always has a knack for drawing me in on that very first page until the end when I can barely stand to finish because I don’t want it to end. Rookie Moves is A Quick Snap Novella and reads fairly quickly. While it is a fast paced read the characters involved have quite the slow burn romance that is delectable. I loved Grant and Emily so much, these two compliment each other so well it is hard to not fall in love with them and cheer them on the whole time. We find Grant the rookie football player with a not so good reputation and Emily the good girl and mayor’s daughter. While Emily is supposed to help clean up his image we discover she also has a bit of a rambunctious side and the two seem to have a way of getting into it together. I can’t wait to see what we will get next from Tarrah Anders!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I just knew I had to read Tidal Love the moment I saw the gorgeous cover! I desperately needed to escape through a book and this one did just that. It swept me away with the love and the emotional roller coaster this takes the reader on. Tidal Love is a contemporary romance, and really it is one of those books you just get completely lost in and forget the world around you.
Harleigh has not had it easy and is just now getting her life resettled after leaving an abusive and toxic ex. Her family sends her on a dream vacation and she ends up meeting her dream man, Giovanni. These two will sweep you away with their stories and emotions that they encounter. I loved the way things unfolded and the way the author kept things realistic. I will definitely be looking for more works by KM Lowe because the bonus of reading this book was she is a new author to me and I now get to discover her other works!

Faerie's Magic (Seasons of the Fae Book 1)Faerie’s Magic by Jessica Feyden
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

 

Faerie’s Magic is the first book in the Season’s of the Fae by Jessica Feyden. This is the first book that I have read by Ms. Feyden, so I really wasn’t sure what to expect from one of her books. But the beautiful cover captured my attention, and the intriguing blurb sealed the deal. A one-click later and I was diving in, ready to set off on this wonderful adventure.
Mira, the princess of the Summer Court, has no idea that her ‘normal’ day of hunting in the forest would end up in a battle between the Fae and the Norn (shifter/witches) where she gets up close and personal with one of the enemy, and her hunting skills come to the fore. She also discovers her powers have been bound. But also, unknowingly, finds her fated mate. There is so much more to this story, but I really don’t want to spoil it for you by giving away too much.
So, if you love fantasy, paranormal romance, magic, shifters, witches, adventure, action, danger, hidden agendas, fated mates, drama, angst, and superb world building- then you really won’t want to miss this book/series.
Ready for Book #2.

Thank you, Jessica Feyden!

Love On The Ropes (Love in Action, #1)Love On The Ropes by Aviva Vaughn
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

It’s always fun to try out new authors. To stumble onto gems that make reading enjoyable. Love On The Ropes was definitely one of those. The first book in her Love In Action series, this book starts the series off right. So sit back, strap in, and hang on for a great ride.

Both Clint Davenport and Erin Hung are living their dream jobs. But with success comes sacrifice. And for these two career-driven individuals, this means no distractions. So when at a company retreat, Erin saves Clint from a messy situation they both realize that distractions aren’t avoidable. Combining angst, humor, and great chemistry between the two lead characters, the story hits a believable note that leaves you thoroughly entertained. This book isn’t instantaneous love. It’s a slow build that allows the reader to get to know and fall in love with the characters. If you’re looking for a fun, easy read, Ms. Vaughn provides that and more.

This is the first book by this author for me and I look forward to reading her other books. Tidal Love is almost an insta-love type of story, but since the main characters are broken and lost they don’t see it right away.
I like how Tidal Love was written. There is a story behind each character…they just weren’t born super wealthy, having everything handed to them or even an easy life. They all had to work for their current chapter in their lives. This story gives hope to readers that even after tragic events life can go on, happiness can be found.

First of all, a bit off topic but I LOVE the title and the cover art of this book… I’ve become a big fan of Cynthia Hamilton’s writing so I have followed along with the Madeline Dawkins series since the very first book. That being said, The Patience of Karma can be read as a standalone book!
I’ve come to enjoy this series so much because Madeline is a great main character that I find more enjoyable as the series progresses. Cynthia Hamilton has a way of providing the reader with an action packed storyline without making the plot obnoxious or unbelievable. I enjoyed The Patience of Karma from start to finish and as always, look forward to more from this author.

Tarrah Anders’ book was quick and easy to read, I finished it in a day! If you are looking for a quick romance, this is it, you also do not have to read the rest of the series to delve into this book.
While this book initially followed the classic bad boy and good girl romance, Tarrah Anders surprisingly put her own spin on the genre through the character of Emily. Seeing the relationship between Grant and Emily develop and change their own perspectives was great to read.
However, I would have loved for there to be more development in the character background and family aspects. The originality of Tarrah Anders’ story would leave you wanting more.

Child of Prophecy (Tirumfall Trilogy Book 2) by J Drew Brumbaugh is a fantasy story. There are a lot of moving parts to this story and the road is not always easy but the journey to find the prophesised one to lead them to victory is a must. This is a fast paced tale with magic and danger, action and hope, magical beings of all sorts and so much more. You need to read the first book, Fall of the Western Kings of this trilogy as the story continues on. This original fantasy is vividly and richly outlined and is a well woven tale. It is easier to settle into this story earlier than the first as we have gotten to know the characters and the authors writing style.

Curse of the Sands (Relic Hunters book 2) by Martin Ferguson is a YA adventure story and sees the gang back together on another mission risking life and limb. As with the first book I love the thrills and mystery, the history and gathering the pieces and putting a puzzle together. Martins world building and easy writing style makes for a thrilling and enthralling read. Again, as with the first book the story is fast paced and gets the heart pumping. I was so engrossed in it that time got away from me. If you love the Librarians, Indiana Jones etc you are gonna love this series. YA or not you will thoroughly enjoy it too.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Brooke May’s book was a great contemporary romance which was an easy, quick read. The dual perspectives from both love interest, Kennedy and Hunter were amazing in developing the characters, from their feeling for each other to their love of football. While this book was football orientated due to Hunter playing football in college and Kennedy being a sports reporter, this book could be enjoyed by everyone.
I loved that Brooke May did not shy away from serious topics such as career pressure and Kennedy experiencing sexism in her work and due to her love of sports.
Additionally, Brooke May highlights an important message throughout the book about following your dreams and never giving up despite all obstacles.

I had to have a little help with a few of the words. I like that little bit of Gaelic thrown in. I like how the author brings out the emotional stress in teenagers when they have lifechanging events occur in their lives, most that they have no control over.

Valerie Davisson is one of my favorite crime/mystery/thriller writers. Logan is a character that I cannot wait to read about her case. She grabs me from the first page until the last. There were many twists and turns that kept me reading, The story is a fast pace but again I had to make sure that I read everything because it is easy to miss one little clue that you could come to a conclusion that was a twist or a turn in the wrong direction. With every page, I felt like I was with Logan throughout the story. Logan is trying to solve another mystery that brings her choice of a friend in check. Logan doesn’t realize that her friend is not her friend. She needs to bring out a killer and has looked deeper than ever before. Can Logan bring the killer to justice? Will she get out from underneath this case? I highly recommend this book because it will leave you speechless.

There is a murderer in town and they need to find out if there is more than meets the eye. The clues are subtle and can be missed if you read too fast. The story is so realistic that I thought it was a real crime story. There are so many twists and turns that you will start leaning one way and then smack it takes you down a different path. I highly recommend this story if you love thrillers, mysteries, and crime stories.

The Patience of Karma is the fifth book in Cynthia Hamilton’s Madeline Dawkins’ series and like every other book in the series it can be read as a standalone. My suggestion though is to read the series in the order as you will learn more about Madeline and her partner Mike with every book and every book builds upon the previous one when it comes to their story …
In The Patience of Karma we will have two cases that the team takes upon themselves to solve – one with an uncle looking for his presumed dead nephew as his niece needs a kidney transplant and he is their last hope; the other case seems to be open shut case of cheating but nothing is ever as it seems … the closer they get to solving the cases, the more surprises we encounter, the more invested we get in the outcome … add this Mike and his past that comes knocking and we have a story that throws a punch!

I feel as though every review for this series starts the same. Each installment is better than the last and my mind is blown. I feel most book series meet their expiration at book three so the fact that Valerie Davisson and Logan still have my attention, definitely says something about book 4. I thoroughly enjoyed Vanishing Day, there is sensitive subject matter written well and a storyline that once again grasps my attention from day one.
I love how the characters intertwine and of course, a strong female main character. I think of all the books in the Logan McKenna series, Vanishing Day had the most characters I really just warmed up to.
If you haven’t read any of Valerie Davisson’s writing but you enjoy a fast paced, thrilling storyline, I definitely recommend giving her writing a try. 5 out of 5 stars for this one!
