Self Made (Freshwater BOOK 2) by Belinda Williams – Review by Carrie Reed

Self Made (Freshwater Book 2)Self Made by Belinda Williams
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

5 stars!!

Such a wonderful book! The story really pulled me in, I could not put this book down. The characters were all really well written. The chemistry between the 2 main characters, Anthony and Jess was off the charts. I love how Jess was into Anthony no matter what he looked like. I can understand why Anthony wouldn’t want to commit to Jess in the form of marriage and children due to his childhood and his father, BUT I also was so mad that he couldn’t see he wasn’t like his dad, and he would be perfect for her. When he decided to date the annoying Alicia, my heart broke for Jess, and then there was that one night that almost ruined everything for them. I was very pleased with the ending, but could have really done with an epilogue! I want to see how Jess and Ant ended up, but I am holding out hope I will see them in the next book. This is book 2 in the series, but it can be read as a standalone.

Self Made (Freshwater Book 2)Self Made by Belinda Williams
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

As soon as I saw there was a second Freshwater book from Belinda Williams available, I one-clicked without a second thought. This one was just as gripping and fabulous as the first and I am so happy I dove in head first. In Self Made we get the story of Ant and Jessica, two characters that I instantly fell in love with and was cheering for to find that happily ever after. Jessica is on top of the world and making her gym business soar. The challenge that Ant presents to her is one she feels she will overwhelmingly win at but is met with much more of a challenger than she anticipated. Ant is fun and light hearted and in love with his fast food. His comedian side keeps the book lighthearted and one that elicits lots of laughter as you read. I especially loved the premise of what if he was perfect from the get go? Does the body have to match the personality? I can’t wait to check out the rest of the series!

Reign (The Larussio Legacy Book 3) by Via Mari – Review by Liz Vrchota

Reign The Larussio LegacyReign The Larussio Legacy by Via Mari
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Reign is the third book in The Larussio Legacy series from Via Mari. I would personally recommend that you read all the previous books and in order before diving into this one, as this is a continuation well from them. We find Gio and Serena are still struggling with her security and the usual difficulties that accompany the mafia family. I personally enjoy mafia romance novels and this happens to be at the top of my list for favs in the genre. I love the suspense that Via Mari builds and even more the added romance and steam is enough to keep my fanning myself the whole time. Via really does a great job of including sexy scenes but not going to that point of porn or unbelievable stuff which I really enjoy. I am excited to see what we will get in the next installment. I am sure there will be even more intrigue and suspense mixed with the right amount of sass and sexy times.

Kickflip SummerKickflip Summer by Danielle Jacks
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This was a lovely teenage romance that just goes to show that a summer fling doesn’t have to just be a fling. The characters are well written and engaging and the story is relatable to young people

Kara and Bear are two young people who are both moving forward in their lives. Kara to university and Bear to work with his dad in the family business.

During the summer Bear wants to enjoy his time teaching kids to skateboard and even though Kara would love an adventure with her best friend Toby family commitments means its not possible.

However when they meet their summers seem to be looking up. Is this just a summer fling? Or will their romance last longer than either of them expect it too.

Fall of the Western Kings (Tirumfall Trilogy Book 1) is a J Drew Brumbaugh is an original fantasy story with a lot of everything to reel you in.

Hero High: Heartbreak Rebellion (Hero High Collections Book 2) by Mina Chara – Review by Elizabeth Sanchez

Heartbreak Rebellion (Hero High, #4)Heartbreak Rebellion by Mina Chara
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Hero High: Heartbreak Rebellion is the 2nd collection in the Hero High series. It is books 4-6, but reading it, I didn’t realize it was 3 separate books. There doesn’t seem to be an ending or a beginning of the next. This collection should be read after the first 3 books, as it picks up where those left off. I really enjoy this series. At first it seems cheesy, but it is wonderfully written. There is a great story line, so many characters, and a perfect balance. There is a little bit of romance, some sadness, a lot of action, its a perfect blend. It is really creative, a whole world and back story has been created. Each hero has their own unique powers and their own back story. I liked this part of the story because we get to see Friday mature. She isn’t just a scared high school kid, she is becoming her own person. She is learning to control her power and understand and own her feelings. She is standing up for what she believes and becomes a leader. I highly recommend this series, and look forward to more from this author.

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

I am loving this series!! It is dangerous and sexy…emotional and thrilling…I just can’t get enough.

This is third book of the series and focuses on Julian. Julian has recently become the head of Chase Security’s San Diego branch. He is digging himself out of a past that has beaten him down. Upon arriving in San Diego, he finds out that Chase medical is endangering its patients and putting their lives at risk. One of those lives belongs to a little girl named Sadie. Sadie is suffering from the same condition that took Julian’s wife from him…but he is determined to save her. Her mother, Holly, has her own past demons that force her to keep her walls up. However, when Holly and Julian are together, the chemistry is definitely there. However, more danger lurks around the corner when a serial kidnapper targets women and their children. Julian, and the rest of Chase Security, are trying to find out who is behind everything while keeping everyone safe.

I found myself really invested in both Holly and Julian. Their pasts had me hoping that each of them would find happiness and not be faced with heartbreak again. Holly is a strong character and not quick to let a man take care of her…and I loved that about her. This is another great book in this series and I am looking forward to Zach’s story next!

by Tamara Ferguson

This book was such a good read. It was full of mystery, suspense, romance, and forgiveness. This book can be read as a standalone, but it’s my suggestion you read all of the books in this series. This book has some of the characters from past books and they are all wonderful stories. This book pulled me in from the start and I couldn’t put it down until the end. I read this book in one sitting. The author does an excellent job making these characters relatable and making you feel like your right along in the story. This is a must read. I highly recommend this book.

Tompkin's School For The Dearly Departed (Supernatural Trilogy #2)Tompkin’s School For The Dearly Departed by Tabi Slick
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I give Tompkin’s School: For The Dearly Departed (A Supernatural Academy Trilogy Book 2) by Tabi Slick, 4 stars.

This book picks up with our characters after book one and the suspense and action does not stop until the end. A young adult supernatural book, it revolves around students of a boarding school. Kain and Izara have changed so drastically from what they once were. The struggle between retaining what they were and believe plus coming to figure out just what they now are is very evident and makes them seem quite real. But this isn’t the only issue in this book. There are many characters for and against them, but they don’t really know just who is who. I enjoyed the cast of characters in this story.

The book itself is a great story written to keep you entertained, intrigued, and guessing. The author does a great job of this and I cannot wait to see where the story leads us next. If you are a fan of YA supernatural books, this series is for you.

That Incredible Kiss (Kissed By Fate 3) By Tamara Ferguson – Review by Jennifer Gordon

THAT INCREDIBLE KISS (Kissed By Fate Book 3)THAT INCREDIBLE KISS by Tamara Ferguson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

A heartwarming and emotional romance and although book three in Ferguson’s ‘Kissed by Fate’ series it can happily be read as a standalone story. Set in Crystal Rock as our the previous two books in the series and this time it’s Ashley and Brian’s story. Ashley Mitchum & Brian O’Neill grew up together in Crystal Rock, Wisconsin, but until they shared a kiss during the summer after high school the couple had not really gotten on. Brian thought Ashley was spoilt and could be cruel and Ashley thought Brian just interfered in her life. However, following the kiss they both realised that they had been fighting and denying their attraction for one another. Just as the couple decide to commit to each other, tragedy strikes when Ashley’s father is implicated in a Ponzi scheme and then runs away with Brian’s mother. Even more tragically Ashley’s best friends father commits suicide having lost all his money in the scheme. Ten years after circumstances forced the couple apart both Ashley and Brian find themselves back in Crystal Rock. As both their families dark secrets are revealed Ashley and Brian have to decide whether to admit that they both still think about that one ‘Incredible Kiss’, all those years ago.

I love a Tamara Ferguson novel and this one was no different, not only does she write a wonderful romance but each story is so much more than ‘just’ a love story. Each novel has plenty of drama, suspense, wonderful and relatable characters, like Ashley and Brian, and they are all set in a magical places, like Crystal Rock. ‘That Incredible Kiss’, has a great storyline which had me hooked from the start, the narrative flowed well and the plot held plenty of surprises which kept me turning the pages well into the night, wanting to know how it would end. A five star read and a book I definitely recommend along with the previous books in the series.

THAT UNEXPECTED KISS (Kissed By Fate Book 2) By Tamara Ferguson – Review By Jennifer Gordon

That Unexpected Kiss (Kissed By Fate, #)That Unexpected Kiss by Tamara Ferguson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Book two in Ferguson’s ‘Kissed by Fate’ series and although set in the same magical place of Crystal Rock and with some characters who cross over this can be read as a standalone story, however having read and enjoyed book one I would recommend reading that as well. A heartwarming romance set in a small town the plot also has plenty of drama, suspense, and mystery as well as dealing with some darker issues such as murder and human trafficking, all of which had me hooked from start to finish. At the heart of the storyline is a second chance at love romance between Dylan and Julie. Fate bought them together in Crystal Rock when FBI Agent Dylan Nash was working undercover as a game warden and met Julie Thompson a special education teacher. The pair have instant chemistry and are mutually attracted to each other but not only is Dylan undercover but Julie is involved with another man and is working in Colorado. Although they become friends whilst Julie is visiting her hometown she is upset when her best friend Kate turns up dating Dylan. They both move on and Julie returns to Colorado but a few years later she is back permanently in Crystal Rock working as a teacher at a new school for children with disabilities, Crystal Visions.

With both Dylan and Julie back in the same place again maybe fate had not finished with them. Dylan finally confesses his feelings for Julie as the couple learn that a series of misunderstandings have kept them apart, including his apparent past relationship with Kate. Claiming Julie with an ‘Unexpected Kiss ’, neither can deny their chemistry. As well as working undercover Dylan is also searching for his fathers killer as he wants justice, also twenty years ago Julie’s mother disappeared and she’s always wanted answers. When clues link her mother’s disappearance with the man who shot Dylan’s father, Dylan has to protect Julie and keep her safe from a vicious predator.

This had a enjoyable storyline with plenty going on in the plot to get involved in and keep me happily turning the pages. I was gripped by the underlying mysteries of Dylan’s fathers murder and Julies mother’s disappearance and this added an extra depth to the story as a whole. The characters are likeable and relatable and due to the authors wonderfully detailed descriptions the setting of Crystal Rock really comes alive and I felt fully immersed in the place whilst reading this novel, great escapism. A fabulous second book in this exciting and romantic series and I look forward to the next book in the ‘Kissed by Fate’ series.

THAT UNFORGETTABLE KISS (Kissed By Fate Book 1) By Tamara Ferguson Review By Jennifer Gordon

That Unforgettable Kiss (Kissed By Fate, #1)That Unforgettable Kiss by Tamara Ferguson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This second chance at love romance, standalone story is wonderfully written and was an enjoyably emotional read. Set in the town of Crystal Rock, Kate Callahan And Michael Murphy first meet when Murphy arrives in the town to work as an intern at Callahan Construction, and Kate was his crew boss. Kate always knew she would one day take over her family’s construction business and so was not particularly interested in meeting a man, until she meets Murphy and sparks fly. Murphy had his life planned out, finish his degree in Architecture, complete his internship in Crystal Rock and then return to Chicago and work for an prestigious firm. He did not expect to fall for a local girl and for them to have instant chemistry. The couple share an ‘Unforgettable Kiss’ whilst they worked closely together to identify the thief who had been stealing construction materials from the company. However they both decide a long distance relationship would not work and so they then go their separate ways. Six years later and Kate is devastated when she hears that Murphy is engaged and so is shocked when he suddenly returns to Crystal Rock and is determined to win her back. Meanwhile there is an ominous secret in the town and Kate needs protecting from an unknown predator.

I loved the main characters, Kate and Murphy and I found them very relatable with the issues they faced and the decisions they had to make. I liked how although they were instantly attracted to one another and had instant chemistry which sizzled off the page, their relationship also developed the more time they spent together, leading up to their unforgettable kiss. The storyline flowed well and the lively narrative made this an easy and enjoyable read. The plot had plenty of romance and drama which had me hooked from page one and I enjoyed the added bit of mystery in the story as well. A great read, and I look forward to the rest of the books in the ‘Kissed by Fate’ series.

This is a very creative story. The series is definitely original in context. I believe that you should read part one to be able to fully follow along with this book. There is time travelling several times in this book with references to book one. Jain and Izzy’s powers are developing and getting stronger. Neither enjoys being the creatures that they are but I think Izzy is accepting it more than her brother. This is their second year at the school and they are thrown into some crazy situations. There is a lot of intrigue in this book and the ending will leave you with your mouth hanging open. There are more characters introduced but unfortunately it just raises more questions. I’m hoping all of them will be answered in part three.

Each had plans to go their own way, Ashley moving away for college and Brian joining the army. They are brought together again 10 years later in present story.

Heartbreak Rebellion (Hero High, #4)Heartbreak Rebellion by Mina Chara
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Heartbreak Rebellion collects books 4-6 of Mina Chara’s Hero High series. It’s the second collection, following on from Figure In The Flames. The story follows young superhero Friday “Fitz” Fitzsimmons, who lives in a world where superheroes’ lives are the subject of reality TV and everything, from her clothes to her love life, is carefully chosen for her.
Fitz relies on the glitzy celebrity life to support herself and her sister. And she gets the training and resources to put her powers to good use and save the day. As a superhero fangirl herself, she can cope with the more commercial side of things. But she is forced to reconsider as she discovers that things might not be quite as they seem, and that the battles she is fighting may not be as justified as she thought.
This is a great series for young adults who enjoy superheroes. It’s critical of celebrities and media, and unpicks the apparent clear-cut binary of good and evil. Fitz is a fun protagonist and there are plenty of good supporting characters – I particularly like Lisa who’s very down-to-earth and balances being a superhero with looking after young children.
For me, this is a five-star book. An exciting story with plenty of twists and turns as well as fantastic action scenes! I’d recommend starting with the first collection to encounter the world of Hero High for the first time alongside Fitz.
