Devil’s Backbone by T. Birmingham
My rating: 4 out of 5 stars

What a great read. The characters were all fantastically written, the story line, interesting and entertaining and the fantastical world they live in, wonderful.

Tess and Ben are such a great couple. She is self conscious about her appearance because of scars she receives from her family years prior. Tess is a strong, courageous woman but a little on the shy side. I feel like she doesn’t think she is an asset to anyone in her life, but in reality everyone loves her and appreciates all that she does at The Lodge and Ben thinks she is beautiful regardless of her appearance and wants to be with her.

It is aggravating that Ben doesn’t just fess up and tell Tess his feelings until he is pushed to when he has to move back “home” to protect the people of the Lodge, especially Tess. It is a relief when the two finally share their attraction and feelings for one another and team up to find the murderer.

This is a good read, I enjoyed the action and the love connection between the two main characters. I would definitely recommend this book to any paranormal lover. This book can be read as a stand alone, but why would you when the other books in the series are fantastic as well?

Pandora’s Price (Hart & Cole Book 3)
by Sacha T. Y. Fortuné

Wow this book contains so much emotion. The other books in this series are just as emotional and should be read in order. I wish I could convey how this book made me feel every emotion, I have found myself completely invested in their lives. This author did an exceptional job weaving such an extraordinary story that you can’t peel your eyes away. Once I started reading this book I couldn’t put it down till I knew what was going on. I highly recommend this book, you won’t want to miss out on a great series.

Turning the Tide (Eastern Shore Swingers Book 5)Turning the Tide by Phoebe Alexander
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I give Turning the Tide (Eastern Shore Swingers Book 5) by Phoebe Alexander, 5 stars.

This book was absolutely amazing! I originally picked this series up because I live on the Eastern Shore and let’s face it, there are not many fiction books about this area. But I was pleasantly surprised at just how good each book has been. This being book five in the series, there is a potential for things to get stale, it happens in some series. But that is not the case here. The main characters are so great, you can’t help but love them. You can really understand where Luke is coming from and you can understand why he falls for Connie. There are many emotions as well as surprises you will not see coming. I could not put the book down!

This a romance with some hot and heavy scenes and with the series revolving around a swingers club, so if you are not opened-minded, this may not be the book for you. But of you are, you need to pick up this book as well as the whole series. The author is exceptional and weaves a wonderful story you won’t want to escape from.

Pandora's Price (Hart & Cole Book 3)Pandora’s Price by Sacha T. Y. Fortuné
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Pandora’s Price is the third book in the Hart & Cole series by Sacha T. Y. Fortune. As this is the third book, I would highly recommend reading the other two books first. Ms. Fortune has a knack for getting me hook on the first book and I could not wait to read the other two books. There is action, mystery, plus all the emotions that go into a marriage. Her characters are complex and really easy to like one minute and dislike the next minute. I have tried to read this story and be one with Luisa to see what she was seeing and feeling. I felt all the raw emotions of Luisa. I could not help but to bond with Luise, I felt like she was a friend and tried to talk to her (even though she could not hear me) about what I was seeing. There is so much more to this story I want to leave this up to you to go through all the emotions, thrills, and chills on your own.

Thank you Sacha T.Y. Fortune this was an awesome series.

Rafferty (Default Distraction #2)Rafferty by A.S. Roberts
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Rafferty by A.S. Roberts is the second book in the Default Distraction series. This book can be read as a stand-alone however, usual from most books, this one does recover scenes from book one but from a different perspective. For this reason I would recommend reading them in order.
I enjoyed every bit about this book – from the character, to the story to the depth of the emotions you can feel in each page. Books about a band aren’t normally my favourite as I find them to be quite predictable and one dimensional but that is definitely not the case with this series. The author has done a great job of creating a story so heartwarming and emotional that you can’t stop reading. I was rooting for Rafferty and Lauren all the way through.
I am very excited to see what else is to come from this series.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

To be honest, I don’t know what I expected from this book. Something to take me to another place for a few hours maybe, but what I got was so much more. I found myself fully engrossed in this story and with the characters who broke my heart a few times. Fortitude is defined as courage during pain or adversity, this books shows what fortitude looks like in a way that is relatable and imaginable. Claire is one of the most amazing characters I have read in a long time, she shows what all good heroines should; empathy, bravery, and of course fortitude. I don’t usually read books like this, from this time period because it just breaks my heart but this is a great example of why we should be reading this material. This opened my eyes to not only this incredible writer but to a topic that I’m eager to dive into more. I am looking forward to seeing just how far Carrie Dalby will go in the book world.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This series has completely hooked me from the very beginning to the point I’m slightly obsessed with it. This is book 3 in the Hart & Cole dynamic series and it blew me away!

In this book we dive more into Darren and Luisa’s marriage. Their marriage has a lot of ups and downs but what marriage doesn’t but their story will captivate you. It’s not an easy story to read emotionally but I loved every single page of it.

Miss Fortune has a beautiful way with words. This series is such a griping read. I’ve been hooked since book one and I’m dying for more. DEFINITELY don’t read as a standalone. There is so much story in the other books that they need to be read in order. This author has made my top must read list!

Garrett (Dark Water Security #2)
By Madison Quinn
Rated 4 stars

This is an good story. For the second in the series it can be read as a stand alone. The writing was nice but seemed too focused the relationship. Meaning I really wish there was more Interaction between a few of the characters(from Dark waters or even Abby) instead of the day to day of the two MC. I was hoping for some bonding between the girls (Emily and Hope). Or even from the guys at the Security firm.

Hope has had a struggle the last few years. After a lovely night she disappears on Garrett. Garrett seems like a super sweet guy and has some great qualities. He’s looking to recover that lost love. Once he sees Hope he wonders if they can make it work. This is a second chance story.

4 Stars

I so wanted more of each of these stories, there just wasn’t enough time to build the connection to these characters as I would have liked. I did though enjoy the storylines and the writing in both stories was smooth and very easy to follow its just that they were both so short that everything happened a bit too fast for me.

Both stories were unique in their own right and I read both of them in one sitting. It was absolutely enough though for me to want more from both authors. This was my first read by D’Ann Lindun and I want to say my 3rd or 4th by Melissa Keir and I will be looking into more from both of them.

I do recommend anyone wanting to read something quick that they should pick this up, definitely fast moving and will leave you craving more.

Ack!! I need the next book like right now!!

This story broke my heart, there’s so much going on and I love the way this story is being told. I can’t even imagine where this story will go but I know I can not wait to find out.

This felt real, the kind of thing that could happen any day and knowing that made this story hit home that much more. Her time hops were placed perfectly and very easy to follow and definitely strengthened the connection I felt to both Emily and Jaxon. I sincerely felt the emotions being portrayed in this book.

I was so angry with Emily through most of this story, even after what she went through, not trusting Jaxon was her biggest downfall in my opinion and his faith in her even after the decisions she made literally broke my heart.

I can’t wait to get my hands on the rest of this story, I read this in one sitting and it flowed perfectly. This is my 2nd or 3rd book by this author and I’ve loved every one of them and have definitely become a forever fan of Aleya Michelle.

Loved It now give me more!!!! LOL

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Turning the Tide by Phoebe Alexander a five-star read that will turn you. This is the fifth novel in the Eastern Swingers series, but they can all be read as stand-alone, they truly can as I have read most of them out of sequence. Luke is a very deep character and one that will at times make you question what you believe but then also feel a deep sympathy for him. Connie was a great woman, she makes reading her story easy. This is a complex love story, and as with true love, it never goes smoothly, just creates more passion and drama. The question is will it create a happy ending? That’s something I can’t tell you as you need to read this amazing story to find out.

Vantage Point (A Gray Ghost Novel Book 4)
By Amy McKinley

Vantage Point is the fourth book in Amy McKinley’s Gray Ghost series. As with the other books in this series Vantage Point is full of action, suspense and a little romance. This is one awesome series that everyone needs to read. Vantage Point centers around the wonderful Hawk, Hawk is of course part of the Gray Ghost team, as with all the members of the team they all see value in each other and have some sort of brotherhood happening. So anyway, what we have in this book is Hawk, he is worried about his neighbor Stella, whose brother has got her life into danger. This book for me was fast paced especially in the romance department. Don’t be fooled that the romance is a bed of roses as there is danger all around for Hawk and Stella. Will they or their romance survive this danger? I can not rave about this series enough, start at the beginning of the series and enjoy.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Flirty Dancing is the 3rd instalment in J.D Frettier’s Green Room Chronicles series. If you are looking for funny spicy novellas set in the afterlife then this series is for sure for you! You will cackle like a witch and roll your eyes and hope that there will be more instalments and that there will be many more stories telling the stories of the Green Room residents! And by the way, you should really read the stories in their rightful order to really get the maximum out of them!
When you know that this is a story about afterlife and the title says “Flirty dancing”, what kind of dancing pops into your head? In mine, all those funky pole dancing videos from YouTube! And yes, you would be right; we have Kitty Eating, a pole dancing mother who is led to the Green Room by, surprise surprise, by our friend Grim Reaper! The characters from the previous stories are meeting her and help her to adjust to her new reality.
I mean, yes, all the stories are funny, still, they all start with the main character dying and how they struggle with truly understanding they are dead … while reading Kitty’s story I was thinking in my head “I wonder what I would be feeling and thinking”…
It is a quick read so if you need some pick me up then go for it!

FortitudeFortitude by Carrie Dalby
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is an amazing story of friendship, love, challenges and racial discrimination during war time.

Claire and Lorette leave their homes to become nurses for the troops. Trouble starts when they place Lorette and Claire into the camp. With the Jim Crow laws that meant there was segregation between white and black people. So when Claire volunteers to work in the camp where she is the only white person problems start to arise.

During her time she falls in love with a solider from that camp which leads to punishments, and discrimination against Claire and her family on her return home.

This story is a story of courage against all odds, standing up for equality between races and fighting for a love you want. Its enjoyable to read but in parts is very sad and makes you realise how destructive humans can be towards either other just because of skin colour

Flirty Dancing by J.D. Frettier a four-star read that will have you a twirling. This is the third story in the Green Room Chronicles, and you don’t have to read them in order, but they are so funny, they each bring another part out. This time it’s the chance of Kitty to show us more than her moves. We do see some of the characters from the first two and they help show Kitty the ropes, they are a little different to what she is used to. This will have you laughing out loud, there are some great one liners and situations in this one.

Taming the Troublemaker (Hills of Texas, #3)Taming the Troublemaker by Kadie Scott
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

OMG! I absolutely loved this book! Taming the Troublemaker is the third book in The Hills of Texas series by Kadie Scott. Kadie is an awesome writer and if you haven’t read any of her books then you should start with this series. Now, you can read this book without reading the first two books but like I always say…you should always start with the first book. So if you are going read a standalone this is the book to do it with because this book is so stinking good! Autry is the 4th Hill sibling and he loves every bit of his Ranch. However, he is also known to be a bit of a playboy and has yet to settle down. He doesn’t have any prospects of settling down either. Beth Cooper is a teacher and has had the biggest crush on Autry since she can remember. Now, Autry’s father and mother are ready to retire but they are bit worried about Autry. So they decide that if Autry can keep it in his pants for 6 months then he can have the house and the ranch. But here comes Beth and a bunch of twists and turns that make that nearly impossible! LOL. Like I said. I love this book! You will not be able to put this book down. I is definitely a page turner and one you will definitely enjoy!

Lies Come True (Avery Hart Trilogy, #1)Lies Come True by Emerald O’Brien
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

 

Lies Come True is the first book in the Avery Hart Trilogy by Emerald O’Brien. This is the first book of Ms. O’Brien’s that I have read, so I was looking forward to reading this story, discovering her style, and enjoying the mystery. It is a suspenseful murder mystery- with drama, intrigue, and plenty of surprising developments. Ms. O’Brien deftly wove her story, building tension and suspense, and adding enough twists to really leave me guessing, the whole way through.
Avery Hart endured a very traumatic experience ten years prior that has left her a little broken. So, what will she do when her nightmares come back, with deadly consequences- now that a dangerous and cunning killer is on the loose and targeting women. We follow Avery, Noah, Fiona, and the rest of the cast as this gripping mystery unfolds. Will they uncover the mystery before anyone else gets hurt or killed? Will it put a target on their backs? How will it all play out?
A gripping, intriguing, and believable story which kept me on the edge of my seat. Bring on Book Two!

Thank you, Ms. O’Brien!

Love on the Line is the sequel to the heart tugging, Love on a Limb. Without question I NEEDED to read this book, Love on a Limb left such a lasting impression, I smiled, I cried, truly one of the best books I’ve ever read. That being said, I was a bit fearful that Love on the Line would not live up to my expectations. Fortunately, Laurie Lewis’ writing shines bright once again in another unforgettable read about Mikaela and Matthew. The characters are heartwarming and the type that you find yourself completely rooting for. The storyline is rich and emotional, I can’t write a review that would give this story justice. Wonderful!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Surviving Valencia is definitely one of those difficult books for me to review. I am torn in a lot of ways. First off don’t get me wrong for one second I truly enjoyed all of my time spent reading it, even during the moments where I struggled with the slow pacing of the storytelling. I think the one major part that I am left struggling with the most however is the fact that I am left still feeling empty, for lack of better words. I can see where we could almost get another novel someday out of this storyline from Holly Tierney-Bedord, and I would not complain. I would simply hope it would maybe answer some of those gaps that are still there. I truly felt a lot of compassion and longing for our main character here throughout the entire novel and truly wanted to just hold her. It is very difficult to live in the shadow of someone else, let alone two someone else’s, and to have to feel so imperfect too… I just can’t fathom that emptiness. Anywho, the writing it strong and beautiful, vivid and flawless much like all of Holly Tierney-Bedords novels, and I am eager to see what we will get next from her!

Devil's Backbone (Wild Beasts Series Book 5)Devil’s Backbone
By: T. Birmingham
My Rating: 5 of 5 stars

Devil’s Backbone (Wild Beasts #5) by T. Birmingham was a dark fantasy shifter read, that had me hooked from start to finish.

My first read by this author and for this series, I was hooked right from that chilling prolog. As the story moved forward I was drawn in deep by this authors steady writing and the stories darker tones. Though the pace isn’t fast, the writing pulls you in, and the intensities are spread out enough where you’re never bored and the bubbling romance keeps the reader engaged and hooked.

I have to say, this book is at the top of my, best reads so far this year, list. It has everything that I love about reading and about shifter romances. The MC’s aren’t your typical cookie cutter characters. They felt real, relatable, and the brokenness just adds to their realistic persona. Outside the the near perfect MC’s, the plot is building, multi layered and complex. It sets you up to something epic, and man it’s worth everything. I need to check out the other books in this series, because though this reads as a standalone, there are things that happen in the last books, that are referenced, and I need to read those scenes!

Overall this book is a must read, and I can’t stress enough how utterly outstanding this read is. This book gets my ultra stamp of approval and my golden recommendation.

Happy Reading

Kitty is probably one of the younger women in the green room but she is a happy, friendly person who people like immediately. She was taken away from her children and family in a freak accident. I love how the author has such an imagination and can bring those words to us. There are some character that reappear in this book that were in previous books in the serious.

Rafferty is the second book in the Default Distraction series by A.S. Roberts. This second chance rock-star romance was emotional from the first chapter to the last. It had a great build-up and kept you turning the pages.

As teenagers, Rafferty walked away from Lauren without a reason. After seventeen years apart, can Rafferty and Lauren have a second chance at love or are some things hard to forgive?

Rafferty and Lauren’s love is that “Forever & Always” type of love, one that consumes you and makes you want to find that special one in your life. It was great to see the other members of the band and I need to know who the next member is that will find his love.

Turning the Tide (Eastern Shore Swingers Book 5) by Phoebe Alexander
4 out of 5 stars
Phoebe Alexander is a fantastic author. She never ceases to amaze me. This fifth installment in the Eastern Shore Swingers series takes a different turn from the previous books.
*Caution to the tender hearted, while this book does not deal with physical abuse, it does discuss emotional and verbal abuse and I can understand how that may be a trigger for some people so if that is you, please read with caution.*
This book takes us on the journey on Luke. Luke has not been physically intimate with his wife in a long, long time and to make it worse..she is emotionally and verbally abusive. Luke has lost love. Barbara is little more than a master trying to control a servant.
Luke’s friend Cap convinces him to take a trip down to The Factory, an exclusive club he owns with his friends, to try to take his mind off of his problems and to see if he can “work out” some of his frustrations.
While there Luke meets Conne, who is the spark to his dying fire. But when Barbara, Luke’s sad excuse for a wife shows up and starts to cause trouble, things turn from Hot and Steamy to Drama and Suspense in a heartbeat.
I loved this book. The banter between Connie and Luke, the new dynamic of the relationships and the new topics and subjects that Ms. Alexander addressed with some very unconventional characters. I loved this book and series!

Kelly Mooney has written a stellar second book in the Dirty Rooster series. This particular one centers around Eli who we learned a bit about in book one. This can be read as a standalone without being super out of the loop about any characters. that being said, I highly recommend book one.
Eli has fought for everything he has in life and even though he hates his home town and never wants to go back, his dead beat dad got out of jail and Eli has to protect his siblings. He never expected his little sister’s best friend to run out on her wedding and come to him. They’re too different and it will never work. But her pull is too strong and Eli knows he will never let her go now. Between fighting for the woman he loves and trying to pull his little brother Brandon out of the poverty of their childhood, Eli needs to keep his wits about him at the worst possible time.
Kelly Mooney is fantastic at putting you right in her characters heads and after reading both this and the first book, all I can say is that I hope this series continues.
