Blessed: Academy of the SeraphBlessed: Academy of the Seraph by Brandi Elledge
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I enjoyed this story. This is a well developed story that made me feel as if I was right there with the characters. They made the story easy to read and engaging. I had no issues connecting with them as they made the story come alive. Who knew how seven words could change a life forever. That is what happened to the main character in this story. Being enrolled at the Academy. The problem is the Academy should be a place of protection but reality is enemies could be anywhere. There is a secret being hidden but she is not the only one trying to keep it safe. What will the future hold for these characters? They really are great characters that I enjoyed, strong and supportive. A great fantasy story I would highly recommend. I didn’t regret picking up this book and neither will you.

Fall (The Ragnarök Prophesies, #2)Fall by A.K. Morgen
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I enjoyed this book. It is full of action and fantasy. This is a new author for me and I can’t wait to read more from her. I enjoyed being pulled in right from the first page. It is a fast paced story that is engaging and I found it very easy to read. The characters are connectable and this author’s attention to details made me feel as if I was part of the story. They are a strong group and supportive of each other. This is book two, I highly suggest reading book one to help you know where the characters have been and going forward. I enjoyed how the story builds; it makes you turn pages fast and want more. In this story Arizona and Dace are against each other. Will Dace let go of the past and what does the future have instore for Arizonna? Will she have to sacrifice her heart for those she loves? I highly recommend this book.

Dares & Dice (Spicetopia Book 5)Dares & Dice by Phoebe Alexander
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Dares & Dice is the 5th book in the fantastic Spicetopia series by Phoebe Alexander. I have become a huge fan of Phoebe Alexander’s writing over the last 2 years and have particularly loved the Spicetopia series so far. Having now read this 5th book, I can say that this has been my favourite book in the series so far.
In this book Ty is visiting Spicetopia with a group of friends for his bachelor party and at the same time as Makenna is there for her bachelorette party with her group of friends. When the 2 groups are asked to take part in a trial for a scavenger hunt, they pair off 1 girl with 1 guy. Bride and groom Makenna and Ty are paired together to complete the scavenger hunt.
I absolutely adored this book. The activities that the couples take part in are hilarious in parts. So much thought and creativity must have gone into the writing of the scavenger hunt. This book is particularly fast paced as the pair go from activity to activity.
I loved the sexual tension that builds up between the two of them as they spend more time together in this very sexualized environment. As they spend more time together both realise that they are not happy with the person that they are due to marry and start to imagine what it would be like to be with each other instead.
I love that Phoebe Alexander can write such steamy books with great storylines that really grab your attention. I totally devoured this book in just over 2 hours. Definitely recommend!

Dares & Dice (Spicetopia Book 5)Dares & Dice by Phoebe Alexander
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Phoebe Alexander always brings the steamiest romance books that I cannot get enough of. Every single one of her stories are so unique and very different from everything I have previously read. She’s not afraid to push the envelope either!

The Spicetopia is one of my all time favorites. Ty and Makenna’s story is probably one of my favorites from this series. Both characters are at the theme park for their Bachelor and Bachelorette parties (they aren’t marrying each other). Their chemistry is completely undeniable and singes the pages! Miss Alexander added in some twists that no one was expecting and I was completely on the edge of my seat!

I hope there is more to this series. I love visiting my favorite theme park!

Summer's Stolen (A Seasons of Magic urban Fantasy Novel)Summer’s Stolen by Sarah Biglow
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Summer’s Stolen is the second book in the Seasons of Magic series. You’ll appreciate this story more if you’ve read book one as there are references to things that happened in the previous story.

This is a fabulous series. I fell in love with book one and book two is a fantastic story as well. In the second book we see Ezri’s growth as a person.

Summer’s Stolen sucks you in from the very beginning and doesn’t let go. (Maybe the book itself is infused with magic? LOL) When reading this story, I felt like I was right there with the characters. There is action, danger, intrigue, suspense, and of course, magic.

Definitely a must read!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Matchmaker Melinda is exceptional at her job in the town of Chester where she’s coupled almost everybody around. As a widower, she aspires to help everyone find the love she’s experienced with her late husband. She’s protecting her own heart by being one and done with marriage after the loss.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I loved this story! It really kept me on the edge of my seat wondering what was happening next. I was surprised and hopeful all at the same time throughout this one. Then there are the characters. They breathe life into this story. Alice Worth is one to keep an eye on. She has a past that is sooo secret and a new life that she shields to keep her past quiet. Trust issues are one of her biggest hang-ups. Then we have the lovely secondary characters. Mal, Sean and Charles. I have to say Mal is pretty high on my list. He is an amazing and helpful sidekick. The other two are each paranormals high in society who covet Alice and hinder each other’s pursuits.

Overall this is a wonderful beginning to this series. It makes me want to read more and more. Next please!

You find yourself rooting for these characters and is quite a page turner to see where they go. The maid of honor and best man will have you cracking up with their witty and funny banter.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

 

Another fantastic anthology of stories in this Irresistible Romance series, I have found some wonderful new authors to follow and of course I loved that Ms Ferguson’s story featured again! I adore her Wounded Warriors series; they are fantastic reads about wonderful characters. I loved that all of the stories were again varied; they touched on all sorts of different subjects so I am extremely confident that there is something for everybody in this anthology. Another story that I really enjoyed was Playing with the Bridesmaid by Stephanie Queen – that was a really fun read, I loved it! Both characters had a few issues but I loved reading their journey. Two Hearts’ Alliance by Tamara Ferguson was also a winner for me! It was really hard to choose a favourite so to speak because I really enjoyed them all!
I highly recommend this anthology and the series!

Deleted by Ruth Mitchell – Review by Francis O’Sullivan

DeletedDeleted by Ruth Mitchell
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Deleted is a young adult sci-fi book by Ruth Mitchell. The story takes place in the near future – a few decades on from where we are now. Technology has progressed with digital assistants connected directly to most people’s minds.
Our protagonist Lucy, a philosophy student, is one of the few people app developer Marco has ever met who still relies on a smartphone rather than the much more convenient Spex. She is concerned about privacy and security, and it turns out her concerns are not unfounded. It is possible, it turns out, to hack people’s minds through their Spex and while Lucy’s reluctance to embrace the technology keeps her mind safe, it doesn’t stop other people’s memories of her being accessed and erased.
This is an enticing story, and an interesting exploration of the advantages and dangers of technology. It also touches upon how fragile our memories are, even without technology that’s vulnerable to hacking.
This is a great book for teens and young adults who are interested in how technology can develop in the future, and concerned about privacy and how their data is used. The near future setting means much of the world seems familiar, so it would be a good starting point for readers who are just beginning to get into sci-fi. It’s also a fun, thought-provoking read for adults – I thoroughly enjoyed it! It gets 5 stars from me!

And once again we return to Spicetopia, a place where dreams and fantasies may come true..even if you had no idea these were your dreams and fantasies lol

This one might be my favorite of all so far, that’s hard to say because they are all amazing for different reasons. You can absolutely read this as a stand alone but don’t, reading every one of these makes the spicetopia journey nothing short of perfection.

Phoebe Alexander is without a doubt one of my favorite authors ever, she has managed through many stories to open my eyes to things I had no idea even existed. Absolutely adore her and will as always read anything she comes up with.

This is Makenna and Ty’s story, both visiting Spicetopia for their Bachelorette / Bachelor parties. Celebrations of both of them marrying someone else… I loved so much about this book, the scavenger hunt was amazing and of course these 2 ended up paired up.. The twists caught me completely off guard.. Well played Miss Alexander!!

Not going into any more detail, you must read this series, as I said this one might just be my favorite so far, and I say so far with high hopes that Spicetopia lives on for a long long time 🙂

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Eagle of the Empire (Relic Hunters #1) by Martin Ferguson is a YA adventure story that reminds me of the Librarian movies and tv series and Indiana Jones. I really enjoyed this book as I love the thrills and mystery of history, putting a puzzle together and going to extremes to find what you are after. I enjoyed the characters and felt like I was journeying along with them due to Martins world building. It is fast paced and gets the heart pumping and before I knew it, it was finished, and I didn’t notice because I was so engrossed in it. Even though this is a YA story I am sure that anyone of any age from YA and up will enjoy it.

Adam is thrown into a world he didn’t know existed and wondered how in the world his brother had gotten them into the mess he finds himself in. Unbeknownst to him he has been training for this his whole young life and will stop at nothing to find the treasure that will lead him to his brother.

I look forward to the next book.

Heart of Malice (Alice Worth #1) by Lisa Edmonds is an Urban Fantasy paranormal story that has it all. Magic, Witches, vampires, werewolves and much more. Lisa’s world building is well done and with so many creatures her imagination could go wild, which I so look forward to. Our feisty heroine is a PI and is well written and she is sassy and strong, clever and a powerful survivor. I absolutely love the ghost witch, Malcolm who has become her new PI partner in crime. The plot is interesting and is fast-paced and brings us a mysterious magical journey.

This is a great start to the series and have great expectations for the next book.

I am never disappointed with one of her new books and this one was no different. It was hot, sexy, steamy and sweet. Well written with awesome main characters.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Love Gaia: The Diary Directive by TL Clark is a unique and original story that could almost be seen as something that could one day happen in our world. This thought provoking dystopian tale is a little eerie and daunting. To read what could be if power got in to the wrong hands or someone gets trigger happy.

The diaries of Dr Rachel were bitter sweet and was so easy to imagine what they were going through, the struggle, the loss, the heartbreak and heartache. But we also see the legacy that Rachel and others left behind and a new world order has come to pass because those before them were thrown into chaos and the unknown.

This is one story that will stay with me for a while.

Dares & Dice (Spicetopia Book 5) by Phoebe Alexander was a great 5 star read.

I was pulled in right from the beginning. This is Makenna and Ty’s story.
Makenna ends up going to Spicetopia for her bachelorette party. She ends up meeting Ty who is there for his bachelor party. There is an instant spark between them. When the dice are rolled and the dares start, things take an interesting twist.

Could they have just one last fling or will they want more?

Spicetopia definitely turns up the heat for these two and anyone that visits. The author pulls you right in with her writing, you feel like your right there with the characters. I’m glad that Ty finally stood up for himself against his family. All of the secondary characters added a great element to the story. We get some steamy twists and turns and some LOL moments. I look forward to reading more from this series.

What a sweet story! I loved how Adam was the epitome of a Marine. He was well mannered, respectful, honorable and is still a Marine though he’s retired. As someone who works with a lot of military I was happy to see she got that part right.

Melinda is enjoying her new life as a Matchmaker. She had no idea when she went to the wedding of one of her couples that her life is going to change for the better.

This was an incredibly sweet story between Adam and Melinda. They both have scars and are learning to live their new lives. I really enjoyed this story and would love to see more of the Matchmaker’s successful couples.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Boundaries is the first book in the Scope of Practice series by Jessica Aiken-Hall. It was not at all what I expected, but I still enjoyed it. I am curious to see what will come in a followup book. The book centers around Valerie Williamson, an anti-social social worker for a hospital. Her office is in the basement, and rarely gets visitors, as she likes it. She has closed herself off from the world for half her life, but I will not say why. It is a big reveal that guides the direction of the story. Her boss instructed her to start a support group for those suffering trauma. At first she hates the idea, but after the first session yields a small group of women, she discovers maybe she needs this group as much as they need her. There are a couple interesting turn of events, but I don’t want to spoil anything. I will just say, I didn’t see it coming.

Rebecca Steele Finding the Dream is the second book in the Rebecca Steele series by Joanne Patterson. Even though this is the second book in the series, it could be read as a standalone. But having said that, I think I would have maybe enjoyed the story if I had followed Rebecca right from the beginning and read book one before starting this story. Finding the Dream is a sweet contemporary western romance, with plenty of touching and heart-warming moments.
We follow Rebecca through the rodeo circuit, and watch as her music career continues to climb. Then, just when all the stars seem to be aligned, life throws her a bit of a curve-ball, and decisions will need to be made which will change everything.
A sweet read!

Thank you, Joanne Patterson!

Adam discovers the stories he was told as a young boy contains truth then he really knew. Adam is trying to save his brother’s life. Will he find the relic he is looking for?

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Sylvie Stewart is quickly becoming one of my automatic one-click authors! She has a way of telling a story that pulls you into the world of the characters and holds you hostage until the end (in a good way…I promise).

This book follows the story of Milo and Jill. As teenagers, Milo and Jill became friends and were on the cusp of possibly more when they are torn apart. Twelve years later, back in the same town, they reunite and it is fireworks from the start. There is resentment but the foundation of their budding relationship in the past is still standing and opens the door for their to be more. Each has grown up (and probably have more growing up to do)…but can they make a relationship work after all that time?!? Read and find out.

I am sucker for a friends-to-lovers story…but this goes a step farther by being a friends-to-enemies-to-lovers romance. There is the southern charm that I have come to expect in the Carolina Kisses series…a slow burn romance…and characters with depth. Another great story by an amazing author…can’t wait to see what’s next!
