Blackbird's Deliverance (Book Four)Blackbird’s Deliverance by Lisette Kristensen
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Blackbird’s Deliverance (Silent Secrets Series #4) by Lisette Kristensen is another action packed story that engrossing and enthralling as we once again journey along with Blackbird and the team in another adventure. Lisette is doing a great job at keeping the reader’s interest and the story just keep on getting better. The only problem I have is I wish the stories were longer. The stories are well written and short but they pack a punch and leave their mark. It is easy to see the world and characters due to the vivid writing. I do strongly suggest you read all books in order or you will not know how Blackbird comes about and how she got to where she is now.
Blackbird and the team are called in to find someone, only this one is too close to home.
A perfect afternoon read with a nice glass of wine or beer.

Proper Ink (Jaded Lily #2)Proper Ink
By: Zeia Jameson
My Rating: 4 of 5 stars

Proper Ink (Jaded Lily Book 2) by Zeia Jameson was a pretty enjoyable read that had me hooked, and flipping the pages.

Not my first read from this author or in this series, so I new going in that it was going be something fun and entertaining. I wasn’t let down, and I very much enjoyed this book.

I liked the MC’s, both had strong qualities and personalities, that you know, got in the way of them progressing. But in truth that made this romance all the more realistic. I actually related hard to Luca, I tend to fight my feelings hard as well. I understood him, got why he was standoffish, and why it took him a bit to gather himself to make a move. Yes, it’s frustrating, but like I said, it made the story all the more real, as it reflects how real people deal with emotions and hurt. Kerry, I found was that good match, and fit well with him. I got more frustrated in the way she handled work, I get it, sometimes you can’t take a stand, but then again, I felt like she could have use her voice more.

Overall this book was well written, detailed, and it had a sweet, feels invoking romance that was anything but normal. This book is worth your time and energy, and it gets my super high recommendation and my stamp of approval.

Happy Reading

Orion’s Kiss by Claire Luana – Review by Lisa Helmick

Orion's KissOrion’s Kiss by Claire Luana
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I loved this story. The characters are fun, interesting and hard to let go of. The story is full of Greek mythology with a modern twist. We meet the ancient ones in a current day setting with a penchant for the past. Meriah and Zoe are great HS best friends. They are the typical teenagers. Joking, laughing and sharing everything. While we don’t know a lot about Ryan and Brandon’s background they also have a typical bro relationship for high schoolers. When they all pair up things really start moving. There were many times I was surprised at what and how things were happening. Not bad… just shocking and many OMG’s

This isn’t my first book by this author. I love how smooth her stories flow. They are so comfortable and easy to read. I feel like I am meeting and hanging out with new friends. I loved reading this and enjoyed meeting these wonderful characters.

The Trouble with Paradise (Madeline Dawkins #4)The Trouble with Paradise by Cynthia Hamilton
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The Trouble with Paradise by Cynthia Hamilton is the third book in the Madeline Dawkins Mystery series. I recommend reading these in order but I believe they can be enjoyed as a standalone. There is an underlying portion of the story from the first book which keeps coming up but each mystery is self-contained. This series keeps getting better with each book. Madeline and her partner Mike are on the case with two different cases both involving dead husbands. How did these men die and who is at fault? Mike and Madeline will work together to figure out both cases.
I like there are multiple cases that overlap but have similarities despite being completely different cases. I look forward to reading more about Mike and Madeline and the crazy cases which come across their desks. Also, I have enjoyed seeing how these characters and the secondary characters are developing and changing with each book. I will be reading more of these in the future.

The Trouble With Paradise by Cynthia Hamilton is part of a great series. I have been reading this series in order and have loved everything so far. The author is such a talented writer. These books are loaded with suspense. I keep saying ok one more chapter, let me see where this is going to go and then forget it, another door opens up and I’m still reading a few chapters later.
Two mean are dead. One by suicide and one by a tragic accident where the wife is arrested and blamed for his murder. Mike and Madeline are amazing PI’s and are now on both cases. They investigate every angle
and scenario to find out The Who, what, why, when and how. These two characters are awesome to read about and I love how they are best friends and sometimes more.
Looking forward to more by this author.

TWO HEARTS UNDER FIRE (Two Hearts Wounded Warrior Romance Book 8)TWO HEARTS UNDER FIRE by Tamara Ferguson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Two Hearts Under Fire by Tamara Ferguson is the eighth book in the Two Hearts Wounded Warrior Romance series and I think I have read all eight of them. I enjoyed book and the entire series so far. All of the books are connected so we get to check in with some of the couples from previous books from time to time.

Russ and Claire have quite an adventure after a chance meeting. They get to know one another, end up sharing their secrets and end up finding a friend along the way.

This is a sweet love story with a happy ending. Already looking forward to the next book in this series. Wonder who will find love next and their connection to everyone.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I’ve been reading a-lot of new authors lately, and India Kells is no different, she has written a book that is totally captivating and i enjoyed the entire read! It was filled with suspense, romance and even erotica, which at times is not easy to write but India Kells done it well. Along with the incredible storyline she has written, she gives you twists and turns throughout that keep you hooked and on the edge of your seat till the very end!

What made this book even better was the in depth characters who’s journey we followed throughout who you couldn’t help but love in their each own way!
I can’t wait to read more from this author to see what more she can give us. I highly recommend this read, it’s one that shouldn’t be missed!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Proper Ink is the second book in the Jaded Lily series by Zeia Jameson. This can be a stand alone story but reading the first book will enhance the story that much more. Zeia Jameson has a flowing descriptive story telling ability. This keeps the story interesting, and would keep the pages to turn to the next part of the story. Lucas is a tattoo artist that has been unlucky with the ladies. He was not looking for any lady or relationship for that matter. Lucas met Kerry while she was looking for a tattoo. There was something about her that peaked his interest. He wanted to stay away from her, but the universe had another idea. Kerry was a strong lady who for Lucas interesting because he was pushing back. Will Lucas allow Kerry to be in his life? Or will Lucas keep his focus on his art?

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the 4th book in the Madeline Dawkins Mystery Series and I think it should be read in order. There are continuing threads which tie them all together and will make it easier to read.

The author continues to build strong characters and puts them in unexpected positions. The plot line is suspenseful and I’m sure this series could continue for many more books – similar to the cozy mystery series we are familiar with but not so “cozy”.

My One Love (The Brothers of Camelot Book 2) by Necie Navone. This is one of my absolute favorite series! I couldn’t wait to read this one and it was not a disappointment. Its the second book in the series and can be read as a standalone but if you read the Prequel series its better. Its the story of Aless now known as Lexy and Grayson. They first met in New York years ago and there was an instant connection but they were young and didn’t see each other for along time. Lexy has compared each man to Grayson since then and no one measures up. She is determined to find Grayson again and have him. The only concern is what if he’s not the man she has built up in her mind. Grayson has always thought about Lexy even though he’s been all over the world and had numerous random hookups his heart always goes back to Lexy. When they reconnect will it be all they have both thought it would be. Lexy is very independent will Grayson let her chase her dreams and be an equal to him or will he treat her like she is beneath him? I can’t wait to read the next installment.

Orion’s Kiss by Claire Luana – Review by Francis O’Sullivan

/0 Comments/in /by

Orion's KissOrion’s Kiss by Claire Luana
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Orion’s Kiss is a Young Adult Fantasy novel by Claire Luana. It is based on Greek Mythology, with a modern setting.
The story centres around the characters of Orion and the Pleiades, particularly the youngest Merope. For millennia, the seven sisters and the hunter have been reincarnated only to meet the same, seemingly unavoidable fate. In the 21st Century, Meriah is determined to use her visions to save her sisters from their fate and is prepared to do anything in her power to stop Ryan from filling the role in their deaths he has occupied for so long.
The story is told from Meriah’s perspective in a first-person narrative that often feels like she is talking to the reader. I particularly liked how, at the beginning, she kept pausing relating her backstory to talk about what was happening in the immediate present. It was a great way to introduce the character as an ancient being but also a teenage girl.
There’s a strong team of supporting characters, particularly Zoe and Brandon. Brandon is very down-to-earth and keeps the story, and the characters, grounded in reality with his focus on important things like food and, er, food. Zoe’s loyalty to Mer and sense of humour make her a refreshing aspect of the story.
For me, this is a five star book. I’d recommend it particularly to young adult and teenage readers who enjoy mythology or urban fantasy, such as fans of the Percy Jackson books. It’s a standalone novel, but Luana has written a number of great fantasy books which fans of Orion’s Kiss might enjoy.

I have read quite a few books by this author now; I really do love her writing style. Her stories never fail to capture my attention straight away and I was so excited for the release of My One Love and as expected it didn’t disappoint at all! I loved Lexy and Grayson’s story – it was definitely worth waiting for! It was full of wonderful romance with sprinkling of suspense added in for extra excitement. I think he book could be read as a standalone however it does tie in beautifully with the previous stories so I would highly recommend reading those also (they are fantastic reads too!)
Because of the authors wonderful detailed wiring I always feel like I am part of the story and I did feel right there with Lexy and Grayson – they were both such wonderful characters to read about.
I am so excited to see where the author is going to take this series and I cannot wait to read more about these Brothers of Camelot!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is another great short story filled with action. This is a wonderful series that has held me captivated with each book. In here Blackbirds Mother is kidnapped and the team goes into rescue her. All kinds of things happen and they wonder if they will get her out. This one kind of rounds out the series as we circle back to the beginning. Blackbird has been through a lot and I’m not sure if she will stay or wander back to her previous life.
This is the fourth book in this series. As stated above it is full of action, drama and deliberations. A wonderful quick read.

Orion's KissOrion’s Kiss by Claire Luana
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I give Orion’s Kiss by Claire Luana, 4 stars.

Merope has watched her 6 sisters die; not just once, but lifetime after lifetime. She has yet to break the cycle, but maybe this time will be different. With the help of her best friend, she comes up with a plan that just might work. But once she gets to know the one whom she blames, Orion, the more she changes her mind. Can what he says be true? Can they break the curse together? Or are they doomed to continue the circle of tragedy? What of the feelings she is developing for him?

This was an interesting paranormal romance standalone book. The characters are young, but that does not detract us older readers. I consider for ages YA and older. The main characters are great, as well as the best friends. I would love to see more on the friends at some point, too. The story itself pulls you in and has plenty of action the further in you go. I was excited to see just how everything would turn out and could not put it down.

If you are a fan of YA paranormal romance, I highly recommend this book.

I loved this book from start to finish and LOVED that it was told from Luca’s POV. Strong characters with a wonderful story. Absolutely a fantastic book. You do not have to read book one in order to appreciate Proper Ink. However you will appreciate the character and plot development much deeper if you do. Highly recommended!

Barbara Knoll man is not only the Devil. She is also trying to protect the paranormal world as well as the human world. While running for office, things happen that threaten her candidacy.
The bus she was supposed to be on crashed, killing the other candidates. Now with only 2 running, she is both target and suspect. So who is really the suspect? Can she stop them? Can she save the paranormal world?

Heather Silvio is the mind behind this paranormal suspense novel. This is the fifth book in her series. I suggest you read them in order, and get caught up. The book contains suspense as well as romance. You will love her characters as they make this series happen. This book has become my new favorite, from Heather Silvio. I am looking forward to the next in her series.

The Dreamer’s Vengeance by Helen Tyree was an epic YA fantasy that hooked me right from the start, and before I knew it, I had this wonder read in one sitting.

My first read by this author, I was pulled in by not only the cover, but the intriguing dark synopsis as well. I had a good feeling, and I’m glade I followed my gut. This book pulled me in, and it wasn’t long before I was engulfed in this magical world. Detailed and well written, this book takes you to another place, makes you feel like you’re there, and it gets all the feels fired up. The only thing that I would say, I could fault, was that, there were some transition issues between voice changes and MC’s. I did have to backtrack at times before I got what was going on; there just needs to be a clear break. Other then that, this book was everything I hoped for and more.

I loved the connecting MC’s, and the way everything played out. That hovering darkness kept you on edge, and man, this book got me in so many ways, that I can’t even get them out. There’s just so much good in this book, that it’s wroth the praise, and it’s worth your time and energy as well.

So yes this book gets my super high recommendation and my stamp of approval

The Trouble with Paradise (Madeline Dawkins #4)The Trouble with Paradise by Cynthia Hamilton
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I always struggle when I get the the review part of reading A Madeline Dawkins Mystery. Not for lack of good things to be said, rather I often feel like I fail to fully express how wonderful these novels are. The Trouble With Paradise, book number four of the series, is no exception to the rule. Cynthia Hamilton really has a knack for writing engaging mysteries with plenty of plot twists to keep the reader on their toes. I adore how I never find myself bored with the novel, or frankly never seem to figure things out quite like I expect them to. I love that I get to the end and always have a wonderful surprise as far as the finale of the cases goes.

In The Trouble With Paradise finds our favorite sassy and headstrong PI, Madeline working together again with Mike to try and solve the deaths of two different men. Both are husbands and leave family and friends behind that question the reasoning behind their deaths. Of course nothing is quite as it seems from the outside looking in and new things are discovered every step of the way. I was once again reading well past that ‘just a few chapters before bed’ limit, and well into the night so I could find out what was going to be the climax. It of course did not disappoint. Now the real struggle begins while I wait for the next Cynthia Hamilton book to be released!

My One Love by Necie Navone is the second book in the Brothers of Camelot series. I have been waiting for this book since I read the prequel series and it didn’t disappoint.

All of the brothers are amazing in their own unique way. I think they would he a fun group but I have a feeling there would be a lot of swooning by me. Still not sure which is my favorite, Jackson and Stevens are pretty high on my list but I love them all.

Lexy and Grayson finally get their story together. It has lots of romance, suspense and family in it and I loved it. It ties in the prequel so if you haven’t read those I suggest you read them first then come back to this one. You can keep up with everything but you will have the full cast of characters.

This is a very well written detailed story and so worth every minute you spend reading it. I’m so ready for the next book to find out what happens next, especially with the way this one ended.

This book was an incredible take on Romance, Sci-Fi, Fantasy and even had a bit of a dystopian feel to it! I knew I would enjoy this read as soon as I picked it up 1 because of the synopsis of the read and 2 because of the cover! What a cover!

This was such a mentally visual read, I couldn’t help but feel as though I was being transported into the read as though I was there alongside the characters. I was totally captivated and entranced with this read, it held me captive and I couldn’t put it down until the very end!
Mara Gan has an incredible writing style in which she creates an amazing storyline and then some brilliant characters and then along the way throws in some twists and turns that will keep you guessing till the end!

Whom Shall I Kiss... An Earl, A Marquess, or A Duke? (Tricking the Scoundrels #1)Whom Shall I Kiss… An Earl, A Marquess, or A Duke? by Laura A. Barnes
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

 

Whom Shall I Kiss…AN Earl, A Marquess, or A Duke? Is the first book in Tricking the Scoundrels series by Laura A. Barnes. This is the start of a new series, and if this book is anything to go by, the series is set to be great. I have read all of Ms. Barnes books now, and I can honestly say this is one of my top two favourites of all her books. It is a superb historical/Regency Romance with some light-hearted drama, a little angst/push-pull, some humour, chemistry, and plenty of spice. As I have come to expect from Ms. Barnes, the story is well written, easy to read, and very engaging. I found myself invested in the character’s very early on in the story, and was cheering them on from the sidelines the whole way through. The characters were interesting and fully developed, with their own personalities, quirks and flaws- which made the story even more fun to read.
Lady Sidney Hartridge is a scholarly, scientifically minded, practical, determined, and progressive young woman -who is disgusted by the double standards of the times, and sets about to try and put a stop to them by conducting a ‘social experiment’, with herself as the guinea pig. To prove her theory, she targets three gentlemen and begins ‘researching’, with the goal to lure them into kissing her… and so the fun and games begin. But can she avoid a scandal? Will she be able to remain unbiased in her ‘research’? What happens when feeling become involved? All these answers and so much more can be found between the covers of this charming story.
I loved Sidney, not only was she very intelligent and beautiful- but she was also very liberal-minded, pushing the boundaries and the social norms of the times. I loved her friendship with her best friend Sophia (Phee)- they made a great team. I loved Noah, and quite liked Rory too- but the jury is still out when it comes to Alex… I am hoping the next book will allay my fears.
The only thing that I wasn’t a huge fan of in this book, was getting multiple POV’s in one chapter, sometimes two POV’s in one paragraph. But it didn’t detract from my enjoyment of the story, it’s just a personal preference of mine to have separate POV’s per chapter.
A wonderful start to the series and I am really looking forward to exploring the other instalments!

Thank you, Ms. Barnes!
