Claimed (The Torzial Affair Book 3) by Via Mari – Review by Erica Fish

CLAIMED (The Torzial Affair Book 3)CLAIMED by Via Mari
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Claimed is the third book in the Torzial Affair series by Via Mari. Via Mari has an interesting writing style that keeps the reader wanting more and more. I fell in love with Brian and Jenny. They are my book friends. I have been with them from the first paragraph of Shattered until the last word in this book. This book has all the qualities of a great book, suspense, mystery, betrayal, and love. If you have been with Brian and Jenny from the beginning then you will know what Brian will do to keep Jenny safe. Will he be successful? Will there be a happy ending? I hope you enjoy the series as I did.

Stepping It Up (The Liberty Lawrence Series, #2) by Bea Stevens – Review by Sheri Schrader

Stepping It Up (The Liberty Lawrence Series #2)Stepping It Up by Bea Stevens
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Stepping It Up by Bea Stevens is the second book in the Liberty Lawrence series .The trials and tribulations of Libby continues in this fun book. She is now working as a reporter for the Daily Chronicle but is having a hard time getting into the system at work. Her boss runs everywhere and she is not feeling very welcome.
I am glad to read about Libby again. She is full of fashion and has a habit of falling into odd situations. This is a fun read that had me laughing at the exploits. This can be read as a standalone but trust me start with book one to get the back story of the characters. The characters are more developed in this book and have all grown on me. Also, the story flows and moves quickly. This is a great read to get away from the everyday. I look forward to more Liberty Lawrence in the future.

Coming Home: Sequel to Flowers in December by Jane Suen – Review by Natalie Hanley

COMING HOME (Flowers in December, #2)COMING HOME by Jane Suen
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Reading Jane Suen’s books is like a quick dose of therapy – a short hug that you need at the end of a busy week. Coming Home is no exception. This is the sequel to Flowers in December and centres around Connor coming home to his home town for Christmas, several months after his grief-stricken departure following the death of his mother. When he was last in town he had struck up a friendship with florist Mary Ann but would his return rekindle that spark, or had she moved on in his absence? Can he help Alana, his childhood friend who is also coming home after a long absence? I won’t spoil it for you… read and find out!
Jane’s novels are shorter than those I normally read but that doesn’t put me off, because she crafts such lovely characters and a warm setting that the reader doesn’t need pages and pages to get into the mood of the novel. I can empathise with the characters and cheer for them to get their happy endings almost immediately. Although I have never been to small -town America, the descriptions make it easy to imagine myself walking down the street and popping into the coffee shop.
A lovely heart-warming read.

I loved this book! It is a sweet Christmas story that pulled at my heartstrings and will yours too. It is about forgiveness, finding love and the feeling of happiness. The characters are awesome and the journey they took me on was an emotional roller coaster that I just couldn’t put down until the end. Mary Ann, Alana, Connor and Ron bring the story to life for me, they are so true to life and connectable. I found myself rooting for all of them to find their happiness. A must read!

Eight Steps: A Friends to Lovers Romance by Taylor Sullivan – Review by Moriah Venable

Eight Steps to Alpha (Nerdy by Nature, #1)Eight Steps to Alpha by Taylor Sullivan
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Eight Steps is a novel by Taylor Sullivan. This is my first novel by this author.

Best friends Elliot and Fe have been friends for five years. Elliot is considered a nerd who loves video games.

What happened when Elliot asks Fe to help him get a girl? Will sparks fly?

I really enjoyed this novel. It was a fun and cute story and very refreshing from the other novels in this genre.

I usually read the lead female having the makeover and it was a change for the male lead to be having the makeover.

I loved the progression from friends to realizing there might be something more between them.

For anyone looking for a cute fast read, I recommended this novel.

Best Foot Forward by Bea Stevens is the The Liberty Lawrence Series . Liberty aka Libby is a fun, fashionista who works in a hotel. What happens when there is a theft and she has a possible suspect in mind? In steps a handsome officer working the case that she finds herself being attracted to more and more. This is a cute, lighthearted story. If you are label conscious you will find that you are familiar with the brands that she is mentioning. Despite that I find Libby to be a fun character. This story made me laugh which I really enjoyed. There are some silly escapades but I grew to care about what would happen with Libby. Also, when I finished the book I was already wanting to jump to the next book.

I have to say that I was completely intrigued with Shattered Love by Nivia Borell. I knew the minute I read the synopsis, that I needed to know more about it and it’s characters. I loved every aspect of this book, including Bria’s heart break. You see, it’s those experiences that mold you. And with her, it was the journey that she had to take in order to get where she needed to be. I was captivated with the story from the beginning up to the very end.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Black Bullet by L.D. Rose a four-star read that will put you in order. This is the second novel in the Order of the Sentry series, however it is a stand-alone, you don’t need to have read the first one Releasing the Demons, but it does give you good world building background. The world building in this series is sublime, Jonathan Kerr is one of those characters that will make you feel his pain, he will make you feel his confusion and heart, coming to terms with what he is now. The pain and hardship are palpable, you will feel it as if it was your own. If you like your reads dark then you will adore this read.

Black BulletBlack Bullet by L.D. Rose
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I give Black Bullet (The Order of the Senary) by L.D. Rose, 4 stars.

Jonathan is a former marine and FBI agent. Now he is vampire, but it was not something he wanted. He hates this life and lives with the pain and guilt every day. So he kills as many of the evil vampires as possible. He doesn’t care if he dies, he just uses his hatred to drive him. All of this changes he he meets Lawan.

Lawan has been treated horribly at the hands of vampires. They are all evil creatures and she will not make that mistake again. She has made it her mission to kill as many as possible. But that doesn’t really make the demons in her head go away. When she meets Jonathan, her first instinct is to end his life. But there is something different about him — he is a puzzle. Can these two broken people find solace in each other?

This was a great paranormal romance with action thrown in. The characters were good and the story itself was very entertaining. There were some nice twists that made this book stand out among others in the genre. Plus it’s not just the main characters, the secondary characters are just as interesting and real. And I loved Oscar! I hope to see him more in the future.

This was another hit in this series and I highly recommend it to those who love vampires and the paranormal.

Feathers: A Novel by Kylie Stewart

5 Stars

This is my first read by this author and I loved it…The storyline was awesome and started out strong and never really let go…It moved fast and didn’t include a lot of unneeded descriptions or filler words..I completely enjoyed the writing style and read this book in one sitting.

Lottie was an amazing young girl that had been through things noone should ever even have to imagine much less go through, and her strength did nothing but grow as the story progressed. One of my favorite characters in this story was Mrs. Ames, everything about her was perfect. Hawk was a young man looking towards a future, watching his grandmother help many broken young girls was something he was used to. He had his own broken past and was not at all prepared for the young broken girl that his grandmother had saved from an awful experience.

The way this story progressed was done perfectly in my opinion. It wasn’t a perfect journey where happily ever after happened immediately, I loved that the story was told in two points of view, that helped in really feeling what was going on.

I will definitely be looking at what else this author has available, I enjoyed every word.

Loved It!!

An Improper Encounter (The Macalisters Book 3) by Erica Taylor – Review by Tracy Wilkin

An Improper Encounter (The Macalisters, #3)An Improper Encounter by Erica Taylor
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

An Improper Encounter is book three in the Macalisters by Erica Taylor. These stories from yesteryear are a delightful and much welcome change to my reading regime. A talent with the words, Erica Taylor can certainly keep a reader captivated and eager for more. The story was complete, with characters that were engaging and enigmatic, with personalities and desires not commonly norm for the era. I love reading about a more risque character, and Lady Sarah Hartford is all that, and more. Her and William embarked on an intensely mysterious love affair, while hiding their true identities. If that didn’t get your blood flowing, then something is wrong. The William disappears, only to reappear months later.

Such a delicious story, shrouded in mystery, lies and deception. Heartbreaking decisions, secrecy and a bone deep connection has them struggling to keep afloat. A plethora of emotions were wrenched from me. Suspenseful right until the end, I was entranced with the characters and the context it was written in. A mystifying tale that would suit most readers. 4 stars

The story Broken Sand Dollar (The Sand Dollar Series Book 3) by J D Boudreaux is a wonderful book that I loved reading. It is a story that is both emotional and romantic. The book hooked me in from the very beginning and I found myself lost in its pages. I loved reading this story just as much as the first two. I enjoyed reading about the characters in the book. Alex, Penny, Leigh, and Payton are characters that are all brought forward into this story from the first two books. They are characters that I cared about and wanted them to be happy. The story is at times inspirational and has heartwarming moments. Alex is a man whose past relationships have not gone well. He is someone who feels he needs to save everyone. After all the disappointments he has gone through he has returned to the Mississippi Gulf Coast, a place that has always had a piece of his heart. What does the future hold for Alex? Read this book to find out. My emotions went up and down when reading this story. There is bantering and interactions between the characters. Some of them show the deep emotions and feelings that the characters face. There is witty and moving dialogue. Don’t miss out on this wonderful and amazing story that is sure to capture your heart! I highly recommend it.

The Perfect Duchess (The Macalisters, #2)The Perfect Duchess by Erica Taylor
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The Perfect Duchess (The MacAlisters Book 2) by Erica Taylor is an enjoyable and easily read historical romance story. There is danger and kidnapping, lies and deceit, blackmail and attempted murder, scandalous affairs and intrigue that made for an interesting journey. I am not usually a lover of historical romances but Erica has done a great job with this series and has managed to hold my interest. There are a lot of twists and turns that keep you on your toes and the story flows nicely.

Andrew has had a lot put on his shoulders at an early age. Unfortunately his character along with it but when Lady Clara once again appears in his life he slowly realises that he is allowed to have more. He doesn’t need to be what he thinks everyone expects.

Clara has been made the town gossip by someone who should love her but somehow despises her. If it weren’t for a certain Duke and his family she would be dead or a social outcast.

This is a charming romantic read that is a little scandalous and intriguing. I am excited to read more about the rest of the MacAlister clan.

SHATTERED LOVE (The Forever Us Series, #1) BY NIVIA BORELL – REVIEW BY MELISSA AGENA

Shattered LoveShattered Love by Nivia Borell
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Such a complex book! Book one in the Forever Us Series by Nivia Borell is Shattered Love. This book was written with such great poise and descriptive manner. This author really takes you on a journey of deep feeling and emotion. Shattered Love follows Bria du Mont on her 25th birthday and the encounters of the past. Bria was meant for Damien du Sky. From the time that they were little, they were tied by such a great bond. That bond being an immense forever kind of love. One that they thought was impenetrable. But on the night of her 18th birthday the unspeakable happens, which destroys everything they are about. Damien catches Bria in bed with another man. However, Bria doesn’t remember it happening at all. At that point, Bria goes into the hospital from a heart attack. Damien finds himself in a bottle and the chase to be the very best CEO. For the next 7 years Bria drowns herself in work and finds herself incapable of having any feelings whatsoever. So she starts planning to disappear so that she can no longer hurt the ones that she loves any longer. Like I said before, this book is complex and has so many facets to go along with it. It’s a book that you need to pay attention, otherwise you will miss something. Good news is that the writing envelops you and you can’t seem to pull yourself out because you keep wanting more and more. I can’t wait for the next in the series!

Shattered LoveShattered Love by Nivia Borell
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Shattered Love was an emotional 5 star read. This is Bria and Damien’s story.

We start with Bria having a birthday party. A party that will allow her to say goodbye. Without him she has nothing. No one can save someone who has no intention, will, or desire to be helped.

Damien had his heart broken by Bria, but he decided to come to her party anyway. He had to see her, something was different about this party. Seven years ago, I found the love of my life, my best friend, my soulmate, my future wife in bed with someone else.

We get a look at past and present told in both POV’s. Damien turned into a heartless playboy, no one knew who he was after everything happened. When we learn about some of the things that Bria went through, my heart broke for her. Don’t expect flowers and sunshine in this book, emotions run high. The secondary characters added a great element to the story, some were terrible. We end on a cliffhanger of wondering what choice Bria will make. I will be waiting impatiently for the next book in this series. This is my first read from Nivia Borell and I really enjoyed it and look forward to reading more from her. Well done on your debut.

Claimed Royalty (Crowned And Claimed #1) by Betty Shreffler was a fast pace, action filled, hot, engaging read, that had me hooked from start to finish.

Not my first read by this author, so I knew going in that I was in for some deep emotional evoking writing. I was not disappointed in the least. Another superb book by Betty Shreffler, I was captured from the first paged and stayed hooked until the very last word was read. Rich with a complex plot, and multilayer characters, this book was not only fun to read, it connects your heart a soul to an amazing world that Betty has created.

Both MC’s are well written and I fell hard for both of them. Fiora was a strong, stubborn, outstanding character, that I connected to almost right away. She truly shined and carried this story in a ways that enchanted the plot and added a layer of realism, that not only makes you believe in her, but that the world she has to one day rule, is real. Matheas was that perfect match, loyal, passionate and solid in his beliefs. He was there for Fiora, and he also shoned and help carry this story towards amazingness. Having two such strong MC’s is a rarity, and I believe that it’s one of the factors that sets this book apart from others like it.

Overall if you haven’t guessed, this book gets my super high recommendation and my stamp of approval.

Happy Reading

Shattered Love (Forever Us) by Nivia Borell is a five star novel. As a debut novel, you never know what you will be getting into. I loved this book. The first book in the series makes for a page turning, painful memory of how Damien and Bria used to be and a look into what they could’ve been. As childhood best friends, they fell in love at a young age. They promised themselves to each other until that day. When Damien thinks Bria has broken his trust, he leaves and doesn’t look back. At least he doesn’t want to. They both go into a downward spiral of distrust and fear and they pay with individual crises that they have to work out for themselves. I am excited for book number 2!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Thankfully this review is being written on a laptop and not paper, because after reading this story last week my tears are just now stopping enough to type. My heart is heavy with sadness. But my heart also has room for hope. This story hits close to home, as I have school aged children as well as a gun in our home. Of course, it is safely put away from these teen-aged children. This story really touches on a few different, hard to talk about situations. Situations we see in the real world. The names may have been changed but this could be a story about you, me or even someone we know.

I have read Montgomery before but never have I ever read such a well written story. Never has any of her books made my heart feel like it does now.

Please go buy this book, even if you can’t read it just yet. Have it waiting for you when you need to let your tears fall. Have it knowing that there is a fantastic story waiting when you are ready. You won’t be sorry.

Pandora’s Poison by Sacha T.Y. Fortune is the second installment of the Hart & Cole Series. It is a contemporary romance story about Darren and Luisa. Their tumultuous marriage is full of mistrust, jealousy and infidelity. Sacha has written a real-to-life situation that will take you into a journey through this couple’s life and how they cope and interact with the obstacles that are thrown their way. The story is written in an alternating POV which gives you the raw emotion each person is feeling after every scene. This story took me through a roller coaster of feelings and emotions. I also sympathized and related with the characters as a person that dealt with infidelity in her past marriage. There are moments in the story that are so raw that I felt that the story was written about my past marriage. What will happen between Darren and Luisa? I guess I will have to wait until book 3. I highly recommend this book and series, which should be read in order so you can get the back story on the characters. Can’t wait to see what book 3 has in store for Darren and Luisa.

This is book one in the Crowned and Claimed series. Fiora is soon to be queen. She must face certain trials before being crowned. A suitor from each house is presented to her for courting. She must choose one to be her future husband. Are they there for her, her throne or her coveted virginity? She must choose between her duty to her country and her duty to stay true to herself, for her heart belongs to someone else.

If you are prudish, this is not for you. This book is so hot, it steamed up my windows. Just because Fiora is a virgin doesn’t mean she doesn’t have needs and she indulges them every chance she gets. The author truly knows how to write erotic scenes! The story reminded me of the Bachelorette, with everyone vying for her hand in marriage. The story was interesting, the intimacy was exciting and the author added danger with spurned love. The action at the end will keep you on the edge of your seat and leave you hanging with a whopper of a cliffhanger.

Claimed Royalty by Betty Shreffler is book one in the Crowned and Claimed Series. I am familiar with this author’s writing so I grabbed this book based off of the fact that I have enjoyed everything I have read so far. Claimed Royalty was no exception. I admit I got the book based off of the awesome cover and author so when I opened it and saw the first page was a glossary I wasn’t sure how I would feel. I skipped the glossary and got started and I was not disappointed, this story pulled me in from the beginning. I was surprised by the amount of sexual tension and acts that happened but they were all so well written. I am definitely looking forward to the next book to see what happens next. Fiora is a young princess who just wants love and to be the best queen she can be. Her best friend and lifelong body guard is all the temptation she doesn’t need and then enter in 5 suitors who want her and the crown, things start to get steamy.

This story tugs at my heart strings. The emotions run high. I suggest a box of Kleenex and plan out some time so you can finish the story in one sitting. Grace has a brutal past that she is learning about. She understands that she needs to deal with the past before she can move forward. Will Grace allow time to heal her soul or will she be overcome by the darkness she is learning about?

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Caught In Make Believe is the 3rd book in the Caught Series by Sharleen Scott. Each book in this series can be read as a stand-alone. As characters from the previous books appear in subsequent books, and the fact that this series is fantastic, I would recommend that you read the whole series from the beginning and read them in order to get maximum enjoyment.
Sharleen Scott writes amazing gripping romantic thrillers. Having loved the first 2 books in this series I couldn’t wait to read this one and I was certainly not disappointed. I devoured this book in a few hours, I just couldn’t put it down.
I loved that we got snippets of Clay and Harlie, and also Tom and Tallie from the previous books but I just loved Jace and Samantha’s story. Both are broken and have troubled pasts and neither of them are looking for a relationship. Jace is still coming to terms with the murder of his wife 5 years before and Samantha is just out of a broken engagement. Both are amazing characters that you can’t help but fall in love with and you are rooting for them to get their HEA.
However in true Sharleen Scott fashion, nothing runs smoothly. Jace’s wife’s killer is still at large and has found him. This puts Jace and everyone he loves at risk. The author does a fantastic job of building up the tension and leaving you on the edge of your seat right up to a climactic finale.
I’m seriously praying that this is not the end of the Caught series as I’d really love to read more.

They will show you that love isn’t always easy but it is true. I highly recommend reading the conclusion to this series, you won’t regret picking it up.
