Stars Fall From the Sky (Reigning Hearts Book Two) by KG Fletcher – Review by Michelle Austin

Stars Fall From the Sky (Reigning Hearts #2)Stars Fall From the Sky by K.G. Fletcher
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Stars Fall From the Sky was a great 5 star read and book two in the Reigning Hearts series.
K.G Fletcher has once again pulled me right in with her writing and I didn’t want to stop until I was done.

My emotions were all over the place during this read, laughing, crying, sobbing mess. This is Ginger and Jonathan’s story. Both of them have tragic pasts that they are trying to move forward from. My heart absolutely broke for Ginger, I was emotionally drained. Ginger has her best friend’s wedding that brings her close to what changed her whole life, the ocean. This is where she meets Jonathan. They start out as friends but soon feelings start to develop.

Can Ginger ever be happy again? Can a person have more than one soul mate?

Both characters were great although Jonathan frustrated me at times, he was so stubborn. You can’t help but be captivated by their story. These two helped each other heal and we get a HEA. There is so much more to this great read, you will love it. I highly suggest you 1-click and get started today on this great series.

From The Ashes: a gripping psychological thriller (Ashes to Ashes Book 3)
by Rowena Holloway

This is the third and final book in this series and boy does it pack a punch. As soon as I picked it up I wasn’t able to put it down until I read the last word. This story is full of lies, deceit, intrigue, danger, suspense, and so much more. Charlotte has essentially risked everything, her career and reputation most of all but that doesn’t stop her. This book had me on the edge of my seat trying to read faster to find out what the outcome was going to be. This is a must read!! I don’t want to give anything away but I will say that this will definitely entertain you. The author did an exceptional job writing a gripping thriller in this wonderful series.

Fire & Ice (Spicetopia #3) by Phoebe Alexander – Review by Heather Lovelace

Fire & Ice (Spicetopia #3)Fire & Ice by Phoebe Alexander
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Opposites attract and sparks fly in this latest novella from Alexander in the Spicetopia series. Intended for mature readers, this is not meant for younger eyes. Take the caution seriously folks. Alexander pulls no punches when it comes to passion and what that looks like to different people. She also has an uncanny ability to dial in to relatable characters that speak to you whether they could be you or not. Another page turner that you will not put down easily. How ever will she follow up in book four? Cannot wait to see!

Running In Snow, A Holiday NovellaRunning In Snow, A Holiday Novella by Renee Regent
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

 

Running in Snow: A Holiday Novella by Renee Regent is a super quick and easy read. The book is made up of two short stories set around Christmas and the New Year. I enjoyed both of these stories, and they were well written, but I wanted them to be longer, so I could fully immerse myself in them and find out more about the characters, backstories, and background information.

Noelle’s Promise
Noelle has some really bad memories which centre around Christmas- so she decided a very long time ago that she would never celebrate the holiday ever again. But with boyfriend Logan now a huge part of her life- she has agreed to spend Christmas with him, AND his family. She is anxious about it all, especially when the festivities cause her memories and issues to bubble to the surface. Things come to a head and escape seems to be her only option. But she soon realises that she will continue to be stuck in the past and unable to embrace the future until she faces/deals with her past.
A sweet story and emotive story!

Eve’s Hope
Eve has major issues with New Year’s Eve, as she considers it jinxed. The unluckiest night of the year for her. So, the best thing to do is batten down the hatches and stay home. But you know what they say about the best laid plans…
Circumstances soon have her accepting an invitation to her neighbor’s party- which she expects will be a flop. But is it? Will this be the New Year’s Eve that surprises her- the one that changes everything- the one that she will definitely remember?
Well worth the read to find out.

Looking forward more from Ms. Regent!

Thank you, Ms. Regent!

This was my first book by this author and my goodness what a thrilling ride I was taken on. I felt for Isaac and how all he wanted to do was move on from his past, but life has other plans. I couldn’t flip pages fast enough to see what was going to come next. This is a crime book so the bloody scenes were expected and didn’t bother me at all. I look forward to more book by this author.

Deliciously Sinful Liaisons by L.M. Mountford – Review by Angela Hayes

Deliciously Sinful LiaisonsDeliciously Sinful Liaisons by L.M. Mountford
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

3 ½ Stars

Deliciously Sinful Liaisons by L.M Mountford is a collection of seven short stories which range from second chances, to friends to lovers, a mafia princess’ adventures, an erotic paranormal/vampire story, a taboo/forbidden story, and tales of temptation.
This is a very quick and easy read and because each ‘book’ in the collection is so short, it’s one you can enjoy when your reading time is limited, because you can pick it up and put it down without feeling like you are left hanging.
The stories are written to be titillating, quick and easy reads. There isn’t a huge amount of depth, or complex character development. I really wish these stories were expanded more, so we got more depth and development to fully ‘explore’ and invest in. I get what the author was trying to achieve- but I like my stories a little more ‘meatier’.

The collection contains:

Broken
We follow Jake and Vickey, who have a history. Bumping into each other at a nightclub, things soon heat up. What happens next makes for some sizzling reading.

Just once
Faye and Terry have been friends since they were young children. Faye has feelings for Terry and would love to be more than friends. Little does she realise that Terry feels the same way, but he’s worried about destroying their friendship, AND he has a girlfriend. Faye finally throws caution to the wind, taking matters into her own hands- because just once she wants to know what it would be like to more than just his friend. What happens. You have to read the story to find out.

Valentine Misadventure
Sophie’s a mafia Princess. Her father is the Boss. Luke is her bodyguard. It’s Valentines night. So, what happens when her father’s right hand man shows up. There’s an element of danger to this story. What does their Valentine’s have in store for them? Dive in to find out.

Together in Sydney
Alex and Sarah went to college together- then one day Sarah left without any explanation. Alex now travels to Sydney to visit. A lot of time has passed since she left. What happens in Sydney- will their friendship heat up?

Training Tracey
This story has a bit of a taboo element to it. Tracey is the best friend of the Burton’s daughter and has known them most of her life. She’s spent countless hours at their home, even vacations and outings with them. But she isn’t a little girl anymore. This story explores plenty of M/F, F/F, & M/F/F steamy scenes. Will Tracey enjoy her ‘lessons’?

Blood Lust
Lucian, who is thousands of years old, has awakened and has a thirst he needs to quench. What happens when he meets the lovely Kate? Will she be a quick snack, or will there be much more to come from their encounter? This is a PNR/Vampire story with an erotic pulse.

Sweet Temptations
Richard who is married with a lovely wife and young child- finds himself tempted by his pretty young babysitter. She has a huge crush on him, and is very ‘flirty’- so he is having very lustful thoughts. Will the temptation be too much to resist?

A few of these stories were ‘new to me’- but four of them are ones I’ve read before in previous releases. I wonder what L.M Mountford has in store for us next?

Thank you, L.M Mountford!

This is the first book I have read from this author and she now has a new fan. I’m so glad that I read this book. I was hooked on the characters right from the beginning. I love military romance and this talented author exceeded all my expectations. I was so hooked on this story I read this whole book in one sitting.

She is told by Tara that her boyfriend’s brother is perfect for her. Lizzy heads on a road trip and meets a beautiful man that she calls badass because he looks like one. She is attracted to him right away. Will Lizzy find her guy or will she be back at square one.

I loved reading the two stories in this book. They will get you in the holiday spirit and are two sweet stories to read. They are romantic and will have you believing in the holiday spirit. One story will have you asking if your past define your future and the other if a holiday will be unlucky every year. I loved reading about the characters of Noelle and Eve. They are both characters that believe that their situation around the holidays will not change. Is that true? What does the future hold for Noelle and Eve? Read these novellas to find out. The stories did have my emotions going up and down as I was reading them. There are romantic moments and also heartwarming ones as well. Don’t miss out on two stories that you will not be able to put down until the end. I highly recommend reading them.

The story From The Ashes: a gripping psychological thriller (Ashes to Ashes Book 3) by Rowena Holloway is an entertaining and intense book to read. It pulls you in from the very beginning and doesn’t let go until the last page. It is suspenseful and I found myself on the edge of my seat wondering what is going to happen next. I enjoyed reading about the character of journalist Charlotte Ashe. She is looking into a story that will lead her down paths that she never thought she would find herself. As she tries to find out the truth will the danger that goes with her investigation overcome her? Who can she trust? What does the future hold for Charlotte? Read this book to find out. This story had me feeling like I was in the story right along with the characters. There are twists and turns that I didn’t see coming. There are also additional characters that I enjoyed reading about and their interactions with Charlotte. Don’t miss out on a book that is intriguing with an amazing storyline. I highly recommend it.

This is a wonderful anthology. It has stories that are romantic and includes cowboys that are both handsome and make you believe in true love. Each story was enjoyable to read and I found that I didn’t want to put the book down until I was finished. One of the reasons that I love anthologies so much is that it gives me an opportunity to find new authors. This story has six authors and this was the first time that I had read any of their stories. The book had my emotions going up and down the entire time I was reading. I enjoyed reading both about the main characters and I couldn’t help but find myself caring for them and wanting them to be happy. There are heartwarming moments included in these stories. Don’t miss out on a group of stories that will have you wishing for a cowboy under your mistletoe. I highly recommend reading this anthology.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Running In Snow – A Holiday Novella by Renee Regent comprises of two very, very short stories that are easy to read but both are heart wrenching to some degree. One is set around Christmas eve and the other New Years eve. They are we written but I would have liked to see them as longer stories.

Noelle’s Promise
Noelle does not do Christmas but when she falls in love she tries hard. After fleeing a party she realises that she needs to deal with her past before she can move forward.

Eve’s Hope
Eve hates New Years eve, nothing ever goes right for her so a night in it is but when she answers her door it turns out that this may actually be a night to remember.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Cowboy stories are not my go to reads but I love a good Christmas story so figured I would check out this anthology. I am familiar with a few of the authors and this was my introduction to others.

This anthology really does run the gamut of genres. There is military romance, second chances, faith, fate, and more. What each has in common is that it is a complete story with a beginning, middle and end and can be read as stand-alones, oh and of course Christmas. Who doesn’t love a wee Christmas miracle every now and again?

I feel like there was a good range of stories and story telling styles to keep me interested from beginning to end. While a couple were not what I would typically read (more than just involving a cowboy) I gave it a shot an was pleasantly surprised.

This is an anthology I would recommend to get one into the holiday spirit.

Lizzy has the worst luck with men so after a particular horrible break up, she was ready to let loose for the weekend. Her best friend and boyfriend decided that she needed to be hooked up with “a certain someone” which started a whole plan in motion to make her fall for him!

Chicken Scratch (The Sisters, Texas Mystery Series Book 1) by Becki Willis

5 Stars

Becki Willis is a new to me author and I can’t figure out why it has taken me so long to find her books. Chicken Scratch looks to be the 1st of many books in this series and I can not wait to read every one of them. This is my favorite genre and this author filled this book with everything I love. I think my favorite part is that the relationship that is just touched on here and there is still completely up in the air. Not sure why I like that so much but the build up is my favorite part and that was perfection.

I was on the edge of my seat the whole time and my mind jumped around a bit because every time I had it figured out something else would get thrown in the mix and I’d be completely wrong. Again just another favorite part of this genre and this book. I also appreciated the clean story, dont get me wrong I love the grit as well but it was refreshing reading an entire book without the sex scenes.

Granny Bert was my favorite, I loved Maddie and her best friend and the interaction between them all was spot on. I laughed quite a bit and I just can not recommend this book high enough. I can not wait to read the rest. There was no major cliffhanger but there are unanswered questions.

Awesome read!

Falling for His Badass by author Jessika Klide is a cute, easy to read story that introduces us to Lizzy. Lizzy has absolutely no luck with men, love or relationships so she decides to take a sabbatical after her latest relationship ends badly. A weekend on her own at a nice hotel, a comedy dinner show she has wanted to see and no ex to bring her down sounds just like what the doctor orders. Imagine Lizzy’s surprise when she runs into, literally, B.A. hot guy who couldn’t possibly want anything to do with little old her!!
This was such a cute, quick read and I truly enjoyed these two characters. I wish the story was longer though. Although this wasn’t my first book by this author it was definitely my favorite.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Stalking the Stalker is the second book in the Valley View Mysteries series from Laura Hawks. I haven’t read the first yet and it didn’t affect my ability to enjoy this story so it would appear they are solid stand alone novels as well. I will go back eventually and check out book one while I await the release of book three.

Laura Hawks writes some cute mystery novels. I find hers to be less focus on the gritty details and scary side of mysteries and keeps things fun and light hearted even with the detailed and mysterious storyline. I liked that I was able to read a mystery and not feel heavy while doing so.

Tyler Channing is in Valley View for a production that he is set to star in. Things do not go as planned when a stalker makes themselves known to the town. Add in a body and Detective Mitchell and you have a nice set up for a murder mystery to take you away for a few hours.

Hidden Tracks by Zoe Lee – Review by Karyn Taylor

Hidden TracksHidden Tracks by Zoe Lee
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Hidden Tracks is a wonderful contemporary romance novel by Zoe Lee. This is the 2nd time I have read a book by this author, having previously read A Perfect Fit, which contains the same group of friends. One of the things I mentioned in my review of A Perfect Fit was how much I loved the camaraderie between the group of friends and how much they all love and support each other. This was very much evident again in Hidden Tracks as the friends came together to support Seth, the main character in this book. I’d honestly love to have a group of friends like this.
I adored the 2 main characters in this book although I have to admit to wanting to bash their heads together several times. Seth Riveau is a singer/songwriter with a lot of hurt in his past. Astrid Sinclair is a music journalist who used to be married to a very famous rock star. Her latest job is to write about the band that Seth used to be part of, and is currently helping them out at a few shows. The connection between them is instant and Astrid realises that the big story shouldn’t be about the band, but be about Seth.
Interactions between Seth and Astrid are full of emotion, both trying to get a better insight of the other, but neither willing to let their walls down. This book really grabbed me and had me doing a lot of soul searching. The conversations between Seth and Astrid were often very deep and thought provoking.
This is a really fantastic read and I really hope that the author writes more about this group of friends.
