The Explorer (Mountains, #6)The Explorer by Phoebe Alexander
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Have you ever felt like you needed to be a different person for whoever you are around? This is a question that I have answered many times in my personal life. Phoebe Alexander in The Explorer about these same feelings. Her character development is extensive and complex. I felt like I could be right there with Abigail. She feels that she needs to be someone different for others, but she doesn’t know how to be Abigail when alone. She is starting college and really trying to find her true self. Gavin is starting his journey. He is starting his journey to find himself. The plot is a simple story when you get down to it, but Abigail and Gavin sure makes the pages fly by. The innocence of Abigail and Gavin makes this an enjoyable read. I highly recommend this series to find out what happens to Abigail and Gavin.

The Player (Men of WarHawks Book 2)The Player by Jacquie Biggar
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This love story is about Roy and Patience. Roy is a NHL player and he had a stalker. Now he was not able to play because of them. There was PA Patience, who helped him with his PR. All Roy wants is to play hockey. There was something innocent about Patience that peaked Roy’s interest. Can there be romance in the PA Patience and NHL Roy? Will Roy allow himself to love Patience? This is a short story but it is well written and captured my attention throughout the whole story.

A Gentleman's Stipulation (The Scarlet Salon, #4)A Gentleman’s Stipulation by Jean Wilde
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is a historical romance story that is a page turner which I loved. This is one of my favorite genes and I will be looking for more from this author. I was pulled right in from the first page and turning pages fast. This is a well written story that has characters that made the story feel as if you were right there with them. They are connectable and I had no problem relating to them. Lady Victoria is in need of a husband and Blake has no need for a wife. When they are both put in a position that could change things for them, will fate change their perspective of each other? I loved both of them and their banter back and forth. Their relationship is love-hate but it works for them very well. I highly recommend reading their story, and finding out what fate has in store for them.

P.A.W.S.P.A.W.S. by Debbie Manber Kupfer
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

P.A.W.S. (The P.A.W.S. Saga Book 1) by Debbie Manber Kupfer. A different kind a shifter story, I was really intrigued at the start of the book you meet Celia. Celia and family are hiding in the back room of there house in Vienna, when the Gestapo Soldiers came, Celia watched as her family was herded out of the door. The story then jumps to Miriam’s (Miri) point of view. The story of Miri is a sad tale to start, her mother gave her to her Omama (Celia) to raise up till she was ten when tragically Celia dies but leaves Miri a parting gift, a gift Miri doesn’t realise will help her later in life. I don’t want to give too much away but I absolutely loved this story. Debbie created multiple plots throughout this story that all tie together in the end. Such a good read would highly recommend.

Devil's Spawn (Satan's Devils MC Colorado Chapter #6)Devil’s Spawn by Manda Mellett
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Devils Spawn by Manda Mellett a five-star read that you will worship. This is number 6 in the Satan’s Devils MC Colorado Chapter and I would recommend you read them n order as you get the best out of it that way, they just build on each other and you get sucked into the style of writing. This one has a lot of things that will upset some, but the story is one that needs reading there was just something special about it. It is an MC story, so its gritty and racy to the raw. There is a great underlying story to this that I don’t want to get into as I don’t want to spoil the story as its one you need to read. Manda Mellett is one of those writers that will surprise you with writing that will suck you in and spit you out with a different outlook.

The Player (Men of WarHawks Book 2)The Player by Jacquie Biggar
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The Player by Jacquie Biggar a winning five-star read. I adored this story, Jacquie Biggar just pulls it out of the bag, this is number two in the Men of WarHawks series and they can be read as stand-alone as I haven’t read the first, but I will be going back to read it. This was a great red, it was funny, sassy and filled with anticipative drama and just made me smile so much. Roy was someone I warmed to, his psycho ex just pushed me to grow to like him and in the end the way he falls for a certain someone just warmed me up. Patience was someone I warmed to immediately and her family were just the icing on the cake. This is one of those stories that will warm you from the inside and make you smile.

This is my first book by this author, I enjoyed it from beginning to end. I will be looking for more from this author for sure. This is a well developed story that has characters that bring the story to life. They are connectable and made the story engaging for me. I was pulled into the story right from the beginning. Miri receives a silver cat charm that holds more power than she realizes and is about to make her life a little more interesting. This is a paranormal story where you will meet new friends including werewolves and shapeshifters. I highly recommend this book, will Miri learn to control her power?

Marked for Death (Gray Ghost #6)Marked for Death by Amy McKinley
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I am hooked on A Gray Ghost Novel series by Amy McKinly. Her knowledge of military tactics is amazing. Her attention to detail keeps the story moving on. There are ups and downs, twists and turns, and even some loopsy loops. The characters are fully developed. There are many layers to the characters. This story is about Keegan and Kara. Keegan, a former Navy Seal, is hired to rescue Americans from Venezuela. He has history in Venezuela that he did not want his cover blown and not to mention a woman. Kara is hired to recover insect-size robots. When Keegan and Kara paths cross what will happen? Will their missions be successful? I highly recommend this book. It will keep you turning the pages faster to see what is going to happen next.

Music Man (Romance in Rehoboth #1)
By K.L. Montgomery
5 out of 5 stars

I loved reading the story Music Man (Romance in Rehoboth #1) by K.L. Montgomery. It is a book that pulled me in from the beginning and I didn’t want to put it down until I had finished the last page. I loved reading about the characters of Jack and Claire. Jack’s first love has always been music. Life got in the way of him making a big splash in the music world and he finds himself teaching music. What will Jack do if he is given a second shot at his first love? Claire is sassy, strong, and independent. She has fallen for Jack. She finds Jack irresistible. What does the future hold for Jack and Claire? Will Jack’s dream finally happen? Read this book to find out. This story has lighthearted moments that made me laugh and other moments when situations would happen that made me wonder how everything was going to work out. I found myself rooting for Jack and Claire and wanted them to be happy. Other characters interact with Jack and Claire and are enjoyable to read about. This is a book that has moments that touch and warm your heart. It is a story that you don’t want to miss out on. I highly recommend it.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Madeline Fay is a new author to me and I actually decided to read the book by the cover. I am not that type of reader. I found that I needed this humor at this point. The characters are fun and interesting. The story mimics L. Frank Baum famous book series. I have a new interpretation of those great characters. The story has a humorous side from the Wicked Witch’s point of view. The adventure is waiting for you to take. The twists and turns keep the pages turning and you find some funny situations. It is a light hearted story that I love to read in these crazy times.

I loved this book. It is a great start to a new series by this author. This is a well written story that has characters that pop off the pages and into your heart. They are connectable and they easily pulled me into their story. They kept the story engaging and I love how the females are very strong and know what they want and how to get it. What happens when music is the only thing you love? Jack meets Claire and their is instant attraction. What will happen when Jack finally gets his big break but he has a strong love for Claire? This is where the story picks up and I couldn’t put it down. Their story is awesome and I highly recommend this must read book. You won’t regret picking up this book.

Journeys Through TimeSpaceJourneys Through TimeSpace by James Talisman
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

4 stars!
Great second book in the Journeys Through TimeSpace Series. Sci-fi fantasy is not my usual genre, but there are times when an author can keep me entertained and interested and this book definitely does the trick. Time travel is always a fun topic and I became very immersed in the story of 3 friends, Matt, Julia and Dan, on a treasure hunt you could say. The different cities, places and worlds they travel to, are nicely written and it feels as if I were along for the ride myself. The story is just so interesting and packed full, I was sometimes confused but was easily able to jump right back in. I love how each location is mentioned before going into the next part of the story, it really helped me keep up with what was happening, and the list in the beginning showing all the characters and what world they are from was really nice. This book can be read as a stand alone, but I would highly recommend reading them in order. I will eagerly be waiting on the next installment.

Journeys Through TimeSpaceJourneys Through TimeSpace by James Talisman
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Journeys through TimeSpace by James Talisman a journey of a five-star read. This is number two in the Journeys Through series, I have read them in order and feel that you do get the best out of them that way as there are recurring characters and a good backstory that you may miss if you don’t. Once again the author has brought us along on a jam packed journey, one that has you guessing and thinking at every turn, it is a busy story and there is a lot going on, but the author manages to keep it all together and as long as you aren’t easily distracted when reading you are able to keep up well (even if you are do try as I am a flicker on the tv while I read and I managed to keep up with it okay). This has a great sucking power as I will be thinking of something while I’m at work, and then all of a sudden, I will be thinking about who will win the battle and who I’m invested in. The only other thing to add is what an imagination this author must have, it always surprises me when I read sci-fi and fantasy as I figure the authors minds must never stop to be filled with such amazing landscapes and this author is no exception.

James Talisman hit another home run with this Journeys Through TimeSpace. I highly recommend reading book one so you have some back story and introduction to the characters. This is a Sci-Fi story but there is a lot more than that going on. There are many different layers to the story you are about to read. It is packed full of action and you find yourself turning the pages faster to see what is coming down the line at you. The characters are complex and engaging. I felt at home with them. I was on an adventure with them. I highly recommend this journey and hope you enjoy this story as much as I have.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the eighth book in this series, the best yet. I highly suggest reading this series from the beginning, they are full of action and adventure. This book is no different. This is a creative, well written story that took me on an adventure of finding someone who may not even exist. I enjoyed the characters, they made the story feel real. I enjoyed seeing the different characters such as Bran (dog) and Sean (donkey). Fingin finds Bran who leads him to a powerful woman who sends him on an adventure in search of his grandmother. I had a hard time putting this book down once the adventure started. Problem is – she may not even exist. I highly recommend this story to see what happens next.

Rodrick and his brother Rayden are trying to stop a war, their relationship is put to the test for sure. I loved these two characters most in this story getting to know them was a pleasure.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This psychological suspense book packs a punch. I love the psychological thriller genre. It gives me that deep thinking that makes my brain wanting more. Diane Hester is a new author to me but trust me when I said I am going to see what other books she has written. Her characters are complex, complicated, believable and mysterious. I read this book in one sitting but let me tell you that I left the light on while reading the book. This author kept me turning the pages faster and faster. I wanted to know what was going to happen next. What really makes this story excel for me is the realism. I can see this story come to life before my eyes. Lauren Donnelly on a winter morning was crossing a stream that was not frozen. That is when a man tried to assist her and fell through the ice. Lauren is trying to reach out to Ada Phelps, the daughter of the man who drowned, but things are not always what they seem. I highly recommend this book as it will give you the heebie-jebbies, what a great psychological suspense book will do in my humble opinion.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is my first book by this author, and I have to admit it was a hit. When it comes to vampires, I have to admit that subject is getting a lot of attention. Sometimes the story is good and holds my interest (like this one did) and then there are others that if read one you have read them all. Nadine Travers attention to detail is amazing. Her characters are fully developed and full of zest. The plotline was engaging and full of action. Casey is a daywalker, who just so happens to be on a mission to bring back Damaris to the Vampire Internal Affairs Headquarters. There is so much more to this story and I do not want to give too much away. I highly recommend this book and I cannot wait to read more by this author.

This is a new author for me and I enjoyed her book from beginning to end. It is a creative story that is full of action, lies, broken promises and trust or lack thereof. I enjoyed the characters as they are supportive to each other and they made the story feel realistic. Roderick is convinced to take on a task that will take him on an adventure of a lifetime. This is where the story picks up and betrayal and a fight for control as a race against time starts if they are going to stop the war. I highly recommend this story as these characters are pushed to limits they never expected.

Denial (Hero High Book 1) By Mina Chara.

Denial is book 1 of the Hero High series it is set in the near future world of Icon City, a haven for powered one-percenters. I really got into this book, it follows Friday’s journey at hero high. Friday is a 17-year-old young woman telling a reporter her story and how she came to Hero High. I don’t want to give too much away so I will just say if you like, fantasy, superheroes and adventure then this book is perfect for you. I cannot wait to read the next book in this series. Mini Chara has written this book brilliantly and even though its only 150 pages nothing is left out, the characters are relatable, and the story line is great. Thank you.

By Alexander Charalambides
5 out of 5 stars

The story Black Blade (Black Blade Book 1) by Alexander Charalambides is a wonderful fantasy book that I loved reading. The story pulls you in from the beginning and I found myself wondering what was going to happen next. The story has the character of Lance chosen for a journey/quest. He has the sword Excalibur and starts down a path down under present-day London. How will this journey end? Read this book to find out. This is a story that has magic, action, danger, warring families, and a quest to finish. Lance is a character that has undertaken this journey and is determined to see it through. I also enjoyed many of the characters that Lance meets along the way. Some of them are helpful and others seem to have their own agenda and plans. Who can Lance trust? The story is told from several characters POV. It had me guessing and turning pages to find out what happens next. It creates an atmosphere of excitement and mystery. Don’t miss out on a book that you won’t want to put down until the final page. I found myself not wanting this adventure to be over. I would highly recommend reading it.

5 stars!

Beautiful story. The characters were wonderful and easy to relate to and I was so drawn into this book. I love a romance centering around enemies becoming lovers, and this book does the trick to fulfill that love. The chemistry between Monroe and Julian is out is this world, their exchanges are fun and the passion is strong. I admire Monroe for being such a strong and caring woman, strong and caring enough to make sure nothing happens to her business or her employees. I wanted to dislike Julian for trying to take away Monroe’s bar but of course ended up falling in love with him, especially with Monroe. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and highly recommend giving it a read!

The Bar Next Door (Barflies Book 1) by Katia Rose is a wonderful contemporary romance that I found myself getting lost in and enjoying immensely. The unique plot and character building is done well and you can’t help but fall in love with and laugh with them. It is a simplistic story but it is in it’s simplicity that makes it all the better and the story builds nicely. I also liked the way the author gave us a tidbit at the beginning of each chapter and encompassed information on the subject of wine and beer throughout the book. All in all I really enjoyed Katia’s writing style and the story is very well written and I look forward to reading more of her work.

The Explorer (Mountains Series Book 6) by Phoebe Alexander gives us Abby’s story and the ups and downs of a young woman trying to find her place in the world, college, friends and sexuality. There is a lot of emotion in this story and Phoebe doesn’t shy away from the different, unusual or anything in between. She explores it all and has given something for young and older age brackets something to read and connect with and hopefully give them the confidence to open up and be able to discuss the tough topics and bring them a voice.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Prophecy Girl is my first book by Ravin Tija Maurice. I was not sure what I would find inside the covers of this book. I was not disappointed. Ravin Tija Maurice built up the characters to be fully developed, believable, and made me feel like I have known them for many years. The plot line was engaging and I found myself turning the pages rather quickly. This story is about Camille Bishop and her first PI case by herself. When Jane Lowry walked through the door, Camille thought it was going to be an easy paternity case but that quickly changed as Camile started digging into the file. There is so much more to Jane Lowry’s case that left Camille’s head spin around. Will Camille be able to produce the information Jane is asking for? What other things will Camille find? I highly recommend you read this book.

This is the sixth book in this series, I loved it just as much as the previous books. This book can be read as a standalone but I highly suggest reading the entire series. This author writes with heart and her books are full of hot, steamy romance. This book is no different. It is a well written story that has well developed characters that bring the story to life. This is Abby and Gavin’s story. They both feel as if they have other people living inside them. Abby feels that everyone wants a different person. Gavin feels that no one is listening to him or even notices him, they see him as not very strong. What these two have in common with each other you will have to read this book but you don’t want to miss it. They are strong characters that I loved watching grow throughout the story. I felt bad for them in parts and joy in others. They kept me turning pages fast. I highly recommend you picking up their story.

I loved this book and the edge sitting suspense-paranormal it brings. This is a book that had me turning pages fast and kept me engaged throughout the story. I was pulled right into the story from the beginning. This is a fast pace story that I read in one sitting. The characters made me feel as if I was right there with them. Dylan is a journalist that takes on an assignment of a lifetime until it turns dangerous. The question remains if she will survive? How many more will turn up dead? Could the murderer really be a vampire? I loved Dylan’s character, she is full of attitude and she doesn’t care what anyone thinks of her. She is strong and seems to get herself in danger easily. She makes the story for me and I highly recommend her story.
