The Patience of KarmaThe Patience of Karma by Cynthia Hamilton
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Once again Cynthia Hamilton has given us a read that is engaging and creative from the very beginning. The patience of Karma is book 5 in this series, and after reading the previous books in this series, I didn’t think they would continue getting better and better, but boy was I wrong, Cynthia Hamilton continues to up her game and brings us another fast-paced read full of action, adventure. I love how we don’t just get one ‘case’ to follow and figure out, but how this author writes her books each one flows and you never find yourself lost to the storyline. This book once again shows me that sinking my teeth into a good crime genre book is the way forward, and that has only been done by this author’s brilliant writing and incredible characters to keep me hooked along the way! The characters brought to us in the reads are captivating and I absolutely love following along on their journey, I really connect with them and they make the read what it is! EPIC! I highly recommend this read and this author and I can’t wait to see what else is to come!

I really enjoyed this fantasy adventure. It was action packed and kept me gripped. The characters are well written and the worlds the author was created really drag you in. The book is filled with magic, dragons, war and good against evil.

Secure Heart (Chase Security Series Book 3)Secure Heart by R.L. Dunn
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Secure Heart by R.L. Dunn is the third book in the Chase Security Series. This can be read as a standalone book, but I’ve enjoyed reading in order to see how the different characters develop. Each book focuses on a different member of the Chase Security team and someone who has captured their eye. This book focuses on Julian Dupart, the new head of the San Diego branch and Holly Dupree Morrison. These stories have thrills, mystery, romance, and more to them. I have enjoyed how the series draws the attention to a different couple each story, while you still get to see the ones from past books. I really enjoyed the character of Holly and how she will fight for her daughter no matter the danger. I look forward to reading more in this series and from this author in the future.

By Lynda Filler
5 out of 5 stars

I loved reading the story CAFE CONFIDENTIAL: An unfiltered and intimate memoir by Lynda Filler. It is a book that had me hooked from the beginning and I didn’t want to put it down until I was finished. It’s a memoir by the author and she does an amazing job of making you feel her emotions and seeing her journey. From the way that she describes the many places that she has been to the people she has met; she has a way of making her journey come alive. I found the book inspirational and the author a truly gifted writer. I also enjoyed the photographs that are included. They take you along to faraway places and capture the beauty of each location. I enjoyed the information regarding not only the sites and places that she visits but also the people as well. Don’t miss out on taking an amazing journey that will touch your heart and soul. I highly recommend reading it.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Pharaoh’s Forgery by Ellen Butler is the fourth book in the Karina Cardinal Mystery Book series. I recommend reading the books in order because of development to the characters and relationships, but this can be enjoyed as a standalone book. Karina is finally getting a well-deserved vacation away from D.C. Of course, as usual things don’t go as planned for Karina. This story has crime, thrills, mystery, laughs, and more. I always enjoy Karina’s adventures and her partners in getting her out of trouble and solving the case. Karina is smart, full of adventure, but also conscientious and not a detective. Trouble just seems to find her in the unlikeliest of places. I look forward to reading more in Karina’s mysteries in the future and more from this author.

The Patience of Karma by Cynthia Hamilton a five-star read that sparkles off the page. This is number five in the Madeline Dawkins series and it can be read a stand-alone, as I have read most of the previous novels, but haven’t read them in order. Once again Madeline and Mike will enthral you with the mysteries, they each try and conquer. This pair always keep you guessing, with what’s happening with the cases, as just when you have a handle they pull it from you and the door slams in your face leaving you wondering again. I don’t want to say more as you need to get into this story, its complex and filled with ups and downs and wonder. Don’t miss this great story.

By Jessica Feyden
5 out of 5 stars

I loved reading the book Faerie’s Magic (Seasons of the Fae book 2) by Jessica Feyden. It is a story that includes action, danger, magic, and romance. It tells the tale of Princess Mira who begins to suspect that her magic has been tampered with. It also includes Cadoc, whose wolf tells him that Mira is his mate. With so much conflict will Mira and Cadoc be able to save their two kingdoms and join as mates? Read this book to find out. This is a story that has conflict and betrayal between two kingdoms. Trust is rare and not given by many. I found Mira to be intelligent and strong. Cadoc knows that Mira is his mate and will do anything to keep her safe. I grew to care about Mira and Cadoc with each chapter that I read. Other additional characters are introduced. Some of them are loyal to Mira and Cadoc. Others have plans and an agenda that is evil and selfish. Will they succeed? I enjoyed reading about the worlds of the Fae and shifters. It is interesting to read about how each has its ceremonies and traditions. Don’t miss out on a story that is exciting, entertaining, and fast-paced. I recommend reading it.

Reign by Via Mari a sublime five-star read. This is number three in the Larussio Legacy series and they can all be read as stand-alone, but I have to admit I have loved the series, its deep, seductive and dashing with some amazing characters wrapped into it. Giovanni is such a strong character; he just has this manner about him that sucks you in and doesn’t want to spit you out until he’s ready and not before. The building of the story is some of the best I have ever come across it’s a slow burn, but not too slow, the timing is just perfect to unravel the story so the reign is long, steady, evenly paced and dropping at just the right time. This story will bring you to your knees, do not miss this series as it is sublime.

Fall of the Western Kings (Tirumfall Trilogy #1)Fall of the Western Kings by J. Drew Brumbaugh
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Fall of the Western King by J. Drew Brumbaugh a fantasy of a four-star read. This is number one in the Tirumfall Trilogy and shows promise while leaving me wanting more. This is so fast paced that it could run away, and you would never catch it up, the author does a great job of keeping you together and able to follow the story. There are so many amazing characters in this story especially Gant, but the secondary ones are just as strong, some best friends add so much depth to this story. The writing is very vivid, and you can visualise the magic as it is happening, see the movements and hear the incantations in your ear. With a little more background information and a little extra in a couple of places this would have been an easy five-star read.

Pharaoh’s Forgery (Karina Cardinal Mysteries Book 4) by Ellen Butler

Pharaoh’s Forgery is the fourth book in The Karina Cardinal Mysteries Series by Ellen Butler . I must say this is by far my favorite of this series. It’s a gripping mystery with twists and turns that had me on the edge of my seat trying to figure out what was going to happen next. Karina Cardinal is on her way to Cancun for a much needed vacation while there drop off a package. But what happens when the drop off doesn’t go as planned? I literally read this in one sitting I couldn’t put it down till I finished. I had to know how everything was going to play out. I highly recommend reading this book and if you haven’t already read the first three books I recommend reading them as well. I can’t wait to read more from this Author.

Dare Game (The Irish Garda Files Book 1) by Melinda Colt – Review by Angela Hayes

Dare GameDare Game by Melinda Colt
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

 

Dare Game is the first book in The Irish Garda Files and debut novel by Melinda Colt. This is an exciting murder mystery- with detectives, investigation, cybercrime, a ‘deadly’ game, danger, emotion, intrigue, romance, second chances, family dynamics, and plenty of drama.
I was really impressed with this debut novel and how easily I became absorbed in all the developments. I love a good murder mystery/thriller- so I was hooked right from the beginning of this story with its multi-layered and complex web of intrigue.
The premise is quite original and well-woven, that’s not to say there weren’t a few minor issues such as a bit of repeated information and a few inconsistencies- but they were very minor and nothing that really detracted from my enjoyment of the book.
Detective Inspector John O’Sullivan is an Irish police detective who is called to a recent murder scene where things just don’t add up. It doesn’t take long before all the evidence seems to point to a serial killer. He will have to figure things out quickly if he’s to prevent another murder. But it takes a worried mother and her frightened daughter coming forward before there’s a real break in the case. What unravels makes for really gripping reading.
What a great start to a thrilling new series. It’s shaping up to be fantastic. Can’t wait to dive into Book Two- “Killer Score”.

Thank you, Melinda Colt!

Tidal LoveTidal Love by K.M. Lowe
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Tidal Love by K.M. Lowe is a beautiful romance story that will capture your heart. It is about two lost and broken souls who have been hurt in the past, one horribly. KM takes us on a journey to a landscape that inspires and invites romance. One where our characters overcome adversity and pain to find the one thing they were not looking for. Trust does not come easy in this fast-paced tale as we follow them trying to find themselves whilst discovering each other. This heartbreaking yet heart-warming story will tug on the ol’ heat strings but there is also room for a few light hearted moments. Not a story to be missed.

Secure Heart (Chase Security Series Book 3)Secure Heart by R.L. Dunn
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

When you are asked to help a friend to manage one of there facilities, will his broken heart ever be mended when a woman and her daughter need his help.

Julian is suffering from a broken heart, widowed for a few years he has not really seemed his self since. After starting his job at San Diego office of Chase Security will this be able to try and forget the past, but when he is asked to protect a woman and her young daughter, plus having to deal with a serial killer within his patch, will he be able to manage both of his assignments.

Holly is a single mother trying to survive in the world, with her songwriting and singing she is getting by, until one night an attempt on her life shakes her and enroles the help of Chase Security and in walks Julian. As they work closely together she starts to see that there can be light in his broken heart but will she be able to crack through before its too late.

I love this series, each book offers a great insight into the worlds RL Dunn creates. Julian and Holly’s characters are brilliant together and the chemistry pluses off the page and just draws you into the story where I could not stop reading. I do have to say I think these two are my favourite of the duo’s I have read and the tension and action is just enough not to be too unrealistic.

Each story can be read as a standalone but some characters do arc into each story and who would not want to read more of this wonderful stories. I can’t wait to read the next installment to this story soon.

Julian (Smooth) Dupart has returned to San Diego to rebuild the Chase Security building. What he stepped into was not what he expected. Holly is a single mother of a 4 year old princess.

Two Heart’s Truce by Tamara Ferguson

This is the first book I’ve read by this author, but it won’t be my last. Ferguson has a way of bringing her worlds to you. This is a fantastic read.

Amanda, the little sister to Jeremy, is now living with her brother. When the past comes to the wedding she doesn’t know what to think or who to trust. The quote I chose for Amanda is: “Yes. Let’s start over.”

Jeff, Air Force Sergeant, finds that he’s never gotten over Amanda. At his friend’s wedding he finds that the feelings are mutual. The quote I chose for Jeff is: “So, I have permission to spend the night, since Jeremy and Christine offered to take me to the airport in the morning. The flight takes off at seven. I’m leaving the rental here for you to use until my truck arrives for you. One of my buddies has offered to drive it here with a load of my stuff next week. I’ll probably pack most of it up tomorrow afternoon when I arrive since I had to take such an early flight.”

Highly recommended for romance lovers.

Pharoah’s Forgery: Karina Goes on Vacation by Ellen Butler is book four of the Karina Cardinal Mystery series. You should definitely read this series in order because Karina finds herself on some pretty epic adventures and you wouldn’t want to miss any of it!

Karina has been in quite a few jams as Michael would say so a girls trip is a no brainer. Of course, Karina should have expected that it wouldn’t be that easy because of course she finds herself in another pickle. This book as well as the others in the series, do a great job of keeping you on your toes. You’re always wondering what happens next! I don’t want to give too much away about Karina’s newest mystery so I’ll just say, you always wonder what’s going to happen next!

The author does a great job of keeping you intrigued. You just have to know what going to happen next! I definitely recommend this book!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Irresistible – Fall into Romance (Irresistible Romance Book 5) is an amazing anthology that brings together some very talented authors. Most of them have been joining forces in other different anthologies so the only one I had not met before was Angela Stevens. It is always great getting a chance to meet someone new and that is one of the reasons why I love Anthologies. There are so many writers I have discovered through them!

The fearless eight of this anthology are my absolute favorite Tamara Ferguson (I think I have read everything she has written) and ten Natalie Ann, Suzanne Jenkins, Cynthia Cooke, Alicia Street, Jen Talty, Patrice Wilton and the newbie (for me) Angela Stevens. They have put together a collection that keeps the heart beating on the true love … You start reading the story and close your eyes and it start playing in front of your eyes like a movie, like a Hallmark move …

I will share my thoughts about my favorite one which was Tamara Ferguson’s Two Hearts’ Truce. It is another instalment in her Two Hearts Wounded Warriors Romance series and that fits perfectly into her Crystal Rock Universe. It brings together, again, after so many years, Jeff and Amanda and hopefully now they are ready … Their story fits also into the craziness of what we have read in her other stories in the series AND we meet some of them again. I love it, it feels like visiting home and meeting up with people you have not seen or heard of for a while.

I have always loved the care that Tamara takes when telling the heart breaking stories of her heroes and heroines … there is this feeling deep inside when I pick up her book, the anticipation … the apprehension … the hope …

Having read previous Anthologies in the ‘Irresistible Romance’ series I was looking forward to reading this latest edition, ‘Fall Into Romance’ and I was not disappointed. This is another great anthology containing eight full standalone stories by eight fantastic authors, some of which I was already a fan of like Tamara Ferguson and others I am happy to have now discovered. My favourite was the first story in the book by a favourite author of mine, Tamara Ferguson called, ‘TWO HEARTS’ TRUCE’. When Air Force Sergeant Jeff Frisco reappears in Amanda Northrup’s life after six years apart he is determined to win her back. However Amanda has devastating secrets which are preventing her from moving on and she does not know if she can trust Jeff despite having put her life on hold for the past six years and been lonely and missing him. As usual I fell in love with Ferguson’s main characters, as Amanda and Jeff were both likeable and relatable and I was cheering them on hoping they would get their happy ending together. A great storyline and plenty of drama in the plot had me hooked from start to finish. Another wonderfully written heartwarming romance by Ferguson and a great start to the anthology.
‘FALLING INTO LOVE’, introduced Ryan Butler who did not have love on his radar and Shannon Wilder who had once been in love and sadly lost her husband. Having moved to Paradise Place with her children to runaway from a stalker she unexpectedly finds love again, is it with Ryan? No Spoilers! ‘BAYOU COTTAGE’ by Suzanne Jenkins, is a second chance at love romance. Maggie Angel’s runs away to Bayou Cottage in the swamp at Cypress Cove following having her heart broken and meets childhood friend and now local vet and wild horse advocate Justin Chastain. I loved these two characters and their journey to romance as for Justin the chemistry was instant but for Maggie who is recovering from a failed marriage she’s a little less keen to admit her feelings for Justin. A good storyline and great characters made this an enjoyable read in the anthology.
‘THE LIES BETWEEN US’ by Cynthia Cooke, had drama, suspense and of course romance when heroine Cat has to save her undercover FBI Agent husband Tom from a drug lord. This was a gripping read and I literally read it all in one sitting as I needed to know how it would end. Alicia Street’s ‘IGNITE MY HEART’ was a heartwarming story about a Nanny, Blake who is unable to have children of her own but falls in love with both her charge, an adorable little girl and her Daddy Morgan.
In ‘WHISKEY SOUR’ by Jen Talty, Boone Wilder realises that if he wants to get the woman that he loves, Paget Sour, then he will have to make a few changes of his own. Boone also realises that he will have come clean about a very big lie. However Paget is more worried about looking after her ill father and paying the bills than going on a date with the bartender at her local, even if he does make a great whiskey sour. ‘CUT AND RUN’ by Angela Stevens, was another story that had me gripped from start to finish as along with the romance the plot had plenty of drama and suspense. Molly Sullivan is forced to accept sexy but cocky Jake Massey’s help when her brothers dishonesty means she had to escape from a gang leader who is now after her. This had a hard to love hero and a feisty heroine and I enjoyed seeing how their relationship developed whilst they were in danger.
The last story in this enjoyable anthology is, ‘REPLACING BARNIE’ by Patrice Wilton. Career driven divorce attorney Lydia O’Reilley, discovers that her one night stand is actually her new clients soon to be ex husband. Unfortunately her one night with a handsome stranger, Jed, has also led to a unexpected pregnancy. I thoroughly enjoyed this anthology, it literally took me on an emotional rollercoaster whilst reading all the completely different stories but which all had romance at the heart of their storylines. I look forward to the next anthology in the ‘Irresistible Romance’ series.
