Edge of the Storm: Book 2 (Silent Secrets) by Lisette Kristensen
Four Stars

Edge of the Storm is the second book in the Silent Secrets series by Lisette Kristensen. This series should be read in order to understand the plot. These books are short but filled with action and adventure. I love the strong female characters and the action as they fulfill their mission. This book is Sloane’s First mission as Blackbird. This book kept me on the edge of my seat from beginning to end and I couldn’t put it down till I read the last page. I can’t wait to get the next book to see what happens next. If you like books about terrorists and the agents that try to stop them, this is the series for you.

I found this story to be fun, romantic and up and down emotionally. I loved the setting of this story, the author did an exceptional job making you feel like you are there experiencing this wonderful place. There were times that I wasn’t sure what was going to happen between Livie and Kyle. There are some wonderful characters in this book that made this story that much more enjoyable. This author writes so seamlessly and let’s the story flow nicely. I highly recommend this book.

This is the first book I have read from this author and I enjoyed every minute of it. I love a good friends to lovers but this talented author exceeded all my expectations. I was hooked on this storyline from page one. I could not help but to fall in love with these characters. It only took me a few hours to devour this incredible book.

Livie Dunn has been in love with her best friend since grade school. Kyle and her were inseparable until he met her. Mia and Livie hate each other. They are well known enemies. Livie always thought that one day Kyle would see the feelings she had for him but when Kyle tells her that he is marrying Mia she knew it would never be the same. Livie decides she needs a new start so she leaves and follows her dreams as a bookstore owner. She is now living her dream in a small town. Livie has a new life but when Kyle shows back up in her life things start to get very complicated. Will Livie get her happily ever after or will she continue just being only a friend?

I absolutely loved this book. The storyline has it all romance, heartbreak, and forgiveness. You will fall in love with these characters right from the beginning. Livie is a beautiful woman that loves her books. She has always loved Kyle and all she wants is for him to be happy. Kyle is very handsome with a heart of gold. All he wants is to find the right woman for him. This talented author will keep you at the edge of your seat until the end. I can’t wait to see what she will write about next.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I just finished reading Say something by Jennifer L. Allen.

I feel like I have to be honest here – I can get overly critical of romance novels, I don’t know why but I find that it’s easy to make them too mushy or unrealistic.

This book took my breath away!
It has such depth and it pulls you in right from the beginning.

From page 1 I was invested! And I got pulled further down this delightful bunny hole, with every page!

It had romance, heartache, friendship, complicated family history, old times and new beginnings and I loved it all!

I would love to read more books from this author – including a book about each one of the characters we got to know in this one. I’ll be going on the hunt for more of her books.

This book was unbelievably well written – in every sense of the word.

Pick this book up today – you’ll regret it if you don’t!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Say Something by Jennifer L. Allen is a touching love story dealing with tough issues. Jessie and Danny have known each other since childhood, have been high school and college sweethearts as well as man and wife. Things didn’t work out as planned and now they are divorced and on separate paths. Jessie is headed home to start fresh and rebuild the strained relationships she has with her family. Will she be able to start anew or will the past continue to hold onto her?
This was the first book I have read by this author and I don’t see it as being the last one. I’m hoping there will be more stories for Jessie’s siblings and possibly Danny’s brother. The secondary characters were exemplary and really fleshed out the story. I loved this book from the first page to the very end and would recommend it to anyone.

Wow what can I say but having discovered another new author and a new series I am in seventh heaven. I really found myself unable to put this book down. The author has a very refreshing writing style and characters. I love reading books like this.

I really found myself drawn to Maia. The whole plot to the story just grabbed me and kept me held. The trio of Amos, Silas and Rhett are just the icing on the cake. I really love books about djinn and add in Gods and Godesses and boy do you have a great read. I love that there was also a telepathic cat just more to add to the drama and goings on in the book. I really cannot wait to read more from this author and this series. I really want to see how the whole story progresses.

Alex is book 1 in a new series, from a new author for me and what a brilliant introduction she has given. This book has held me captive right from the start and I never wanted to put the read down. This book also had me on the edge of my seat numerous time through-out with it’s action, adventure, danger & romance.

This author not only has created an epic storyline, but she has created two characters that are real, make this story even better. The interactions and connections between Alex & Siren are real and their past is hard to ignore and is undeniable, but what will happen when a mission is put to Alex that could ultimately change everything between him and Siren for good! This book I couldn’t put down it was thrilling and I felt I was there alongside these characters in their journey this is a book that shouldn’t be missed! Don’t miss this read!

Jennifer L. Allen is a new author for me, but after experiencing her read Say Something – she for sure will become one of my go-to authors. This book was everything and more, it was emotional it had you sad at times it was raw & real it also had you in awe and gave you the heartwarming and happy emotions. This is a book I couldn’t put down, I loved every single minute of it – I didn’t want it to end and just wanted more story to be had! It is also a story a that once you finish, it sticks in my mind just that little bit longer for you to really think about and understand more.

I loved each character in their own way and both of them deserved their HEA, whether that was together or separated, but was this their second chance? This author has created an amazing story plot, but also two incredible main characters and secondary characters just make this read even better!
This was written effortlessly and beautifully and flowed from chapter to chapter, I cannot fault any part of this story.

This is a read to be experienced by all, I highly recommend this read. Don’t miss it!

How many characters or even people in real life actually say:

“I never thought I would return to the town I grew up in”

“I wanted to leave there so fast after graduation”

“I always imagined bigger and better things for myself.”

It seems like many second chance romance stories start with this same ideal. The main character is coming home after trying to live life somewhere else, usually a big city. Say Something starts out that way but quickly turns into something more! Not just one main character is returning to the small hometown they grew up in, but both of them are! Danny and Jess are high school sweethearts who grew up together, got married, moved away, divorced, and returned home to the small town that brought them together. Where family means everything. Where love always win.

“Nothing in love is unforgivable”

I love these characters so much. Their heartaches, their frustration, their growing up moments.

“If there was one thing I had learned over the years, it was that one of the most crucial parts of adulthood was recognizing and then admitting when you needed help.”

This author and book is new to me so I cannot wait to read more from this author. I highly recommend this story.

5 out of 5 stars

I have been waiting for this book. I have a soft and squishy spot in the center of my heart for Soren and he really needed to have a store dedicated to him alone. Soren, bless his bleeding heart, has had it rough when it comes to love. He finds himself cut off from his family’s money and in New Zealand, his resort business has found him with some sort of peace…but only some.

Two women from his past show up, and start to reek havoc on his peace, but it may just be the sort of thing Soren needs to get out ot the rut the feels that his life has become. The only thing, he just wishes he could choose between what is right, and what is easy.

Ms. Vaughn is an amazing writer. She has built Soren up through five books so this one was like coming home to an old friend. The writing is both lyrical and poetic. The plot well thought out and does not feel rushed from one scene to another and the sentence structures are full and transition from one thought to another. Overall, this book is a fantastic addition to this series. 5 stars and highly recommended.

A great read about second chances. Four years ago, Jess and Danny got a divorce after their struggles to have a baby led to disaster. Returning to where it all happened for a new job, she tries to concentrate on the future instead of the past. But life makes things difficult when she discovers that he has returned. She is even more surprised to bump into him and all the feelings rear their heads. Can they resolve the issues of the past for a chance at a happy future together?
A great read. Well developed plot. Well developed characters like Jess struggling with her feelings but still standing up for herself or Danny trying his best Great cast of supporting characters like the fun sister Melissa or Mom supportive and kind.
I loved the visual detail throughout the novel like with the sense of nature with Oak River and its tall trees and green spaces as fresh and tranquillity. Or the flowers in the memories with their fresh scents and bold and beautiful colours so vivid its as if you’re actually there.
The flashbacks into the past worked well to display what happened and didn’t disrupt from te narrative of the present with the italics used to differentiate the memories from the present day. Overall, a great read and I would give it four stars.

Beachcomber Enemy is the tenth book in the Beachcomber Investigation series. It is left open to continue in the next book.

This story starts off with a bang, literally, and keeps up a good pace throughout the book. Dane really puts himself in the doghouse in this story. I mean, I get it, but also, he should have known better, lol. The decisions he makes really puts a strain on their relationship. In spite of everything, Shana shows her determination not to be pushed aside. Beachcomber Enemy kept me entertained and I read the whole thing in three hours. Action, intrigue, danger, romance, drama…great read! ?

The first thing I’ll say about Say Something by Jennifer L Allen is please make sure you have plenty of tissues with you when you read this. I don’t know if I was overly emotional at the time of reading but I cried so much at many points throughout this book.
This is a beautiful second chance romance story that shows that true love never dies. Danny and Jess were school sweethearts who got married once they had graduated from college. They had the perfect life together until they tried to start a family. Jess was devastated when they realised that she couldn’t have children and she closed down and pushed Danny away, asking for a divorce.
4 years later and by some twist of fate both have moved back home to their original hometown beside their parents at the same time. It’s obvious that both are still deeply in love with one another.
This is a wonderful story of they try to overcome all this issues that ended their marriage. Jess still feels that she has failed as a woman and has never come to terms with her infertility. This story will pull at your heartstrings so much. It is so well written and deals with a difficult storyline in a sensitive manner.
I had never read anything by this author before this and if this book is anything to go by then I’ll definitely be reading more.

Trickster’s Hunt is my first book by Carrie Whitethorne but it certainly won’t be my last! It’s a phenomenal start to her Three Tricksters series! Right from the get-go I was hooked, I was so intrigued by this storyline that I ended up reading it in one sitting.

It was a welcome change that this storyline wasn’t as action-packed as other books in this genre, I honestly loved the flow of the storyline. The details, original storyline and chemistry between characters had me sitting on the edge of my seat waiting for answers to all of my questions.

Unfortunately for me this book ended in a cliffhanger so I will have to wait to continue this series. This is a book I would recommend to anyone looking for their next one of a kind read!

A great read about mysterious events. Maia is on her way to win an eating competition. Winning the semi final comes with a weeks stay at the hotel expenses free along with the cash prize. She stays inside her room until her friend Adam convinces her to go and explore. But when she does, she is plagued by a trio of attractive and mysterious men and a strange cat. Can she make it through the week?
A great read. Well developed plot with twists and turns that I just couldn’t put down. Well developed characters like Maia stubborn but still vulnerable underneath or Adam as a goofy friend but also caring underneath. Great cast of supporting characters like the strong and silent Amos or the smart and cautious Rhett or the bold Silas.
I loved the visual detail throughout the novel like with theTrafalgar Square full of life and people noisy and crowded but still beauiful if you look closer. Or Hyde Park with its tall trees and sense of peace deep in the middle of the bustling city. Or the use of taste throughout with wonderful flavours described so vividly it’s as if you’re actually there. Or the scenes with the mythology later on in vibrant colours and wonderful detail beautiful but deadly and wonderfully written.
The use of suspense was written superbly, makin you want to read on to uncover the mystery about these men. The use of the first person narrative worked well to display Maia’s thoughts and feelings and when perspectives switched later on it was easy to follow with names in the chapter titles. . Overall, a great read and I would give it five stars.

The story The Lost Ones: A psychological thriller full of twists and turns by Ben Cheetham is a psychological thriller. It is a story that has mystery, suspense, and danger. It had me on the edge of my seat wondering what was going to happen next. There is enough suspense that I had to remind myself to breathe. It is every parent’s nightmare come true, their child is missing. That is what starts this book and a story that was shocking and had me turning pages to the very end. When Erin Jackson disappears, a search is called, and the town answers that call. As the story unfolds, the author takes you by the hand and leads you down dark paths that most would not like to tread on. With tensions rising and a betrayal revealed will Erin be found? If and when she is found will it be alive or dead? Could there be a connection between the murders that happened years ago and her disappearance? Read this book to find out. This is a book that the characters show their raw emotions and the way that the story is written you find yourself feeling them all. I know I did. The story makes you feel like you are right there with the characters. The thrills and chills keep coming in this story and I found myself not wanting to put the it down. An amazing book that will have you staying up far into the night to finish. Highly recommended.

The story Death Sentence (DI Nick Dixon Crime Book 6) by Damien Boyd is a thrilling mystery book. It is a book that kept me turning pages wondering what was going to happen next. It had me on the edge of my seat and trying to put together the clues right along with Dixon to find who was responsible. It was like trying to put together a puzzle. I didn’t want to put it down until I had read the final page. I love reading about the character of DI Nick Dixon. Once he starts his investigation there is no letting go until he finds the truth and justice. With determination, he pushes forward even when the motive and suspects are not immediately clear. This case starts with the killing of an elderly man who was found in an abandoned World War Two pillbox. The investigation turns to the man’s past and Dixon starts to uncover a conspiracy and cover-up. If he digs deep enough will it lead him to the killer? Will there be justice for the victim? How much danger is Dixon in and how far with some go to keep him from finding the truth? Read this book to find out. This book is fast paced and keeps you guessing. The suspense is high, and I had to remind myself to breathe. There are also other additional characters that you are introduced to. Some of them help Dixon and others are only there to look out for themselves. I enjoyed reading about the interactions the additional characters and Dixon have. This is a thrilling story that I would highly recommend reading.

Holy cheese on a cracker. This was such an amazing story! I knew from the first page that I was going to love this book while hating the emotions that it would bring out in me. I cried in empathy for Jessica, I cried in support for women who suffer through such a hard thing and I cried for the pure beauty that is this love story. I felt all of the emotions that this book conveyed and I am better for reading it. I knew how this love story would end, but I still never wanted to read the final words, I could have read so much more about these two and the amazing love they share. This book is an inspiration and it gives hope to those that may be lost. I feel like every woman should read this story to see that there is a light at the end of a dark tunnel. I can not recommend this book enough.

Wrath by Gwyn McNamee is a short novella, that is definitely not your usual sweet romance story. It is a story that is dark and violent, gritty and a little gruesome but it is enthralling. I know when I read one of Gwyn’s books I am in safe hands. Even though Griff has a dark, dark side I fell in love with him and the woman he loves. Griff was made to kill and torture and really is not a good guy, but that dark and ruthless man disappears when he is with the one thing he love more than anything in the world, Jade. When she is taken from him he will do anything to get her back even if that means he leaves destruction in his path and takes out the one person who made him who he is.

The ending broke my heart and I can’t wait for the next installment.

A wonderful way to end a great series. If you are looking to join in on the series now, I would definitely suggest you start from the beginning and invest your time to learn about Soren. There are reasons why Soren is at this place and time and has made the decisions he has made to be here. Quite frankly, I am so happy for him and his character living his life to the fullest and fulfilling his dreams. Once again, Soren is faced with tough decisions with his life concerning his business and his romantic life. In this book, his work takes him to New Zealand where he is confronted with women from his past and the current challenges he faces with Elena seeing as though she has decided to compete again. Going through the series you can’t help but fall in love with Soren and only hope the best for him. Not to mention Aviva’s gift for giving you the most gorgeous and vivid descriptions that transport you to where the characters are. I love this series and am very sad that it is all over. However, I cannot wait for another series to emerge from this author.

Unraveled is a massively emotional drama written by uber talented author, Aubrey Bondurant. Packed full of tension and anxiety, this story broke me into little pieces. Then I was whole again. I cried so many tears i thought i would never be quite the same. It moved me beyond comprehension. I was unable to stop thinking about it, long after I reached the end. The characters, though complex and filled with their own insecurities, were simple in their needs. They wanted the same thing when all was said and done. The content of this story is one everyone can relate to. This is why it hit me even harder. I loved this story with everything in me. I was swept away and I definitely unraveled.

Fictional-ish: A Friends to Lovers Romance by​ ​Natalina R​eis is a friends to lovers romance and ​I am still not sure how i feel about it. I enjoyed it, but it is not one of my favourites from Natalina. It was and easy read but I really wanted to smack some sense into both Livie and Kyle the main characters and I really didn’t warm to them easily.

Livie’s best enemy has treated her like hell all their lives and always wanted what Livie had. The one thing that meant the most to Livie is the one thing that her best enemy took with no care for her actions nor others feelings. Livie’s heart is broken when her best friend picks another over her and takes a job out of the country hoping to heal.

Kyle is getting married to his best friends enemy and has lost his best friend and the one person who really loves him but being a typical man he thinks with his other head. When things get bad he takes a chance to reach out to the one person who had always stood by him.

It is an interesting read had had some funny moment and a few sad ones but once I was able to put aside my thoughts on the main characters it wasn’t to bad. I am waiting to see what comes next for Natalina.

Wild Bastard: A Dark Sparrow Novel by India Kells – Review by Maura Harper

Wild BastardWild Bastard by India Kells
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

“The Dark Sparrow Series” is a spin off of “The Women of Purgatory Series” and while I believe each book can be read on its own, there are threads that tie it all together. The characters all live in the same “world”. WILD BASTARD is book # 6 in both series and # 3 in the Dark Sparrow series. I think it is important/helpful to read each in order because there are so many cross over characters.

WILD BASTARD is a fast paced story and while I was going to read for a little bit on this gorgeous spring Saturday of Memorial Day weekend, I found myself not able to put the book down until I was finished.

I love reading strong female characters who work to lift other women up instead of putting then down. This action packed story certainly has its share of fabulous females.

From beginning to the end, this story is well plotted and has a very clear path as the story winds itself through the twists and turns. I am so glad the series is continuing because I’m not ready to say goodbye yet.

Trickster’s Hunt (Three Tricksters Book 1) by Carrie Whitethorne
Trickster’s Hunt (Three Tricksters Book 1) by Carrie Whitethorne is the first book in the Three Tricksters series and a book I honestly didn’t know what to expect going into it. This is my first read by this author . I found myself drawn in from the beginning and I had a hard time putting it down once I started reading it. Maia is a fun character, she’s in London for a Contest. When three guys just randomly start appearing around her. What will happen when she realizes things aren’t as they seem with these three guys? Find out what happens next in this book I highly recommend reading. I can’t wait to read the next Book in this series.
