Stepping It Up by Bea Stevens
The Liberty Lawrence Series Book 2
My rating: 5 out of 5 stars

The second book in the Liberty Lawrence series is just as great as the first book. This book can be read as a stand alone but, I think it’s better to read the first one too, to get the background of some of the characters like Tom, Cassie and James.

In this book it seems that Libby is in all sorts of trouble and is getting the blame for everything that happens. She is now working for the paper and is going after stories with her partner Dave. She can’t stand working in the department she is in because there are some snotty girls and then Dave she has to deal with, the only bright side, she gets to be near her friend Tom. Libby still overthinks everything, as she usually does, and gets into trouble more than a couple times with jumping to the wrong conclusions.

When she meets James’ ex-wife Suzanne things start looking grim for her future relationship with him. There is a nice loud argument between Suzanne and Libby at a gala that turns things from bad to worse and, it seems Suzanne will be sticking around because she is trying to sell her and James’ house, but she doesn’t realize she is being conned. James has to spend a lot of his money and time on this case and it is wearing on his relationship with Libby.

James’ ex wife Suzanne is a real piece of work and some of the things she says or thinks she is owed makes me want to slap her. I can definitely understand Libby’s frustration with the situation, but also I am confused why it is taking so long for James and Libby to push forward with their relationship. I loved this second installment and have a feeling there will be a third, and I can’t wait to see what happens next with this hot mess they are all in!

Movie Star (21st Century Courtesan, #2)Movie Star by Pamela DuMond
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Movie Star is the 2nd book in the 21st Century Courtesan series by Pamela DuMond. I would definitely recommend reading the first book, Player, before reading this one. It can be read as a stand-alone but the story will make more sense if you have read the first book.
Movie Star continues on from where Player left off and like Player it just stops at the end leaving you screaming WTF!! Why does Pamela DuMond do this to us? In this book Evie is hired to work with top actor Jake Keller who is losing all interest in his work and pulling away from everyone. It’s Evie’s job, as an empath, to find out what is causing Jake to pull away and to heal him.
Breaking down Jake’s walls isn’t easy and when you finally discover why, it is heart-breaking. Pamela DuMond deals with this issue fantastically and with sensitivity.
As with the first book, there are other subplots going on too. We get more of her dealings with Easton Wolff, one of the brothers who her mother ran over when they were teenagers. We also get more of her mother’s story, her mother who has been receiving psychiatric help since this incident years ago.
I really enjoyed this book, more so than the first book in the series. Evie is a wonderful, compelling character and I look forward to see what the author has in store for her in the next 2 books in this series.

Infamy (Feisty Lawyers, #2)Infamy by Seelie Kay
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Infamy is the second book in the Feisty Lawyers series. It isn’t specifically a cliffhanger but some of the story line is left open to continue in another book. If you want to get a deeper background on the characters, read book one, although you don’t necessarily have to in order to appreciate this book.

This is not a long book, I finished it in about 2.5 hours. I felt like the story line was a little rushed, but ultimately entertaining. The first couple of chapters were great and I felt like I was actually getting into the characters, but then toward the middle they moved back to more of a superficial connection. Maybe too much speculative dialog? I’m not exactly sure what made the difference.

Overall a decent way to pass some time.

Infamy (Feisty Lawyers, #2)Infamy by Seelie Kay
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I give Infamy (Feisty Lawyers Book 2) by Seelie Kay, 5 stars.

Harun Ali is told that his brother is seriously ill and asking for him in the middle of the Amazon. He hasn’t seen his brother in a long time and is wary. So he brings his friend and secret agent, Cade, with him. They get there and the dying man tells them something that raises alarms in both these men and all over the states. They uncover a possible terrorist plot. But that is all they know. The agents and lawyers must work to figure out who is behind it and just what is going to happen. Can they do it in time, or will the terrorists win?

This author never fails to amaze me. While there is suspense throughout the book, it starts out more about the couples and their relationships. But then then the suspense turns up a million notches and I cannot put the book down. She pulls me in with the gripping action and I forget everything else until I am done. The characters are so engaging, they feel like they could be your neighbors. At the same time, they are so smart and use any means necessary to keep everyone safe.

This is a romantic suspense that is spectacular. I highly recommend this book and series.

Deepest Midnight (The Immortal Kindred Series #1)Deepest Midnight by Clara Winter
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Deepest Midnight by Clara Winter
4 Stars

This is book one in the Immortal Kindred series. As far as vampire stories go, this one is interesting because the author throws in the idea of reincarnation as well. Millicent was alive in the 1700’s and was a French noblewoman. She fell in love with a man who wasn’t her husband. Soon after she became a vampire and for over two hundred years mourns the loss of her true love. By chance, she meets a man who is the spitting image of her lost love. Does reincarnation exist? Can this actually be him?

The story switches back and forth between the 18th century and present day so we fully understand Millicent’s life. The author did a good job because you never get lost within the story. Milli’s knowledge of vampire history is limited to only what her maker told her, which isn’t much. She has only lived with her maker and another vampire, rarely meeting any other immortal. Guaranteed this will lead to some interesting situations later in the series.

This is the first book that I have read from this author. I found the story to be easy flowing and interesting. There was romance, drama and mystery rolled all together which made an intriguing story. I’m looking forward to seeing what happens next.

This had me an emotional mess..I hit all the feels in this one and the biggest was anger. So much going on, and just when I thought I had something figured out nope this author gave me whiplash.

I’ve read the first series and moved into this one and so far I can almost say I love this one even more and that is saying a lot because The Prestian series was completely awesome and if you don’t read this from there you will be missing out on so so much!

I’m not going into any detail, I don’t want to ruin anything for other readers but take my advice and read these books. Via Mari has moved to my favorite authors list like a speeding bullet and all I can say is bring on the next book. I can not wait!

Loved It!!

I feel bad for Evie. She feels so much and yet she helps others be better. With so many different emotions coming at her it’s a wonder she functions so well. I don’t like how they use her. I understand why she does it but not the benefit to her. I actually enjoyed this second book more than the first. Jake needs help and Evie is sent in to give him what he needs. This is definitely a new take on Courtesans and what they stood for. The author makes you take a step back and look at the picture from a different view. Overall the story was interesting and enjoyable to read.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Rush by Megan Matthews is book one of The Boys of RDA series. This book is a contemporary romantic comedy and the first book I’ve read by this author. I really enjoyed the story.

Aspen has everything going for her. She has a new apartment thanks to her sister in law, even if it has ridiculous rules for her to follow. She is going to stick to her plan and focus on work. When she quite literally falls into Finn, things start to change a little. Finn seems to be around any time Aspen needs him which has her scared that it is too good to be true. Will Finn be there for Aspen when she really needs him?

The book was enjoyable. The characters were engaging. The book was written so well that I could picture myself in San Francisco. Overall, the book was great, engaging and fun to read. Can’t wait to read more of this series.

Penny For Your Thoughts is book one in the Sand Dollar series by J.D. Boudreaux. As this was my first time reading this author, I was unsure of what was to be this story, but I had a feeling I would enjoy this book immensely.

This wonderful story was sweet and adorable. The characters easy to relate to and enjoyable to learn about. The story flowed along seamlessly and it was apparent the effort the author put in to deliver a high quality, entertaining read. I was smitten with the main characters and hung off every word. A masterclass of words. A talented web of glorious moments and good love and romance. 4 stars.

The Inheritance: The Story of an Unlikely Submissive
By: India Kells
5 out of 5 stars

The story The Inheritance: The Story of an Unlikely Submissive by India Kells is a steamy book that I loved reading. It is a story that hooked me in from the very beginning and didn’t let go until I had read the ending page. I enjoyed reading about the characters of Lani and Max. Lani is a woman who needs help in order to be able to concentrate on being a successful artist. She is beautiful, passionate about her work, and stubborn. She sees a chance to pursue her dreams when her uncle, after passing away, gives her tasks that if accomplished will leave her with a substantial sum of money. Max is a man who is reluctant to help Lani. He is one that is handsome and demands discipline/control. He is also a man that is haunted. Will he help Lani? Lani will be compelled to submit in order to get her inheritance. Will she be able to complete and accomplish the tasks required? Will she finally realize her dream? Read this book to find out. This story is steamy and emotional. My emotions went up and down with the characters. You can feel the boundaries being pushed by both of them. What will they learn about forgiveness? This story has dirty talking and intense dialogue. While it is not a long story it is one that has powerful and raw emotions. It is a book I would recommend reading.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I can’t say enough about this series! It’s so captivating and so brilliant! Move Star is Book 2 in the 21st Century Courtesan series by Pamela DuMond. Evelyn “Evie” is an escort that makes six figures, not because she beds every man but because she has a special gift. Evie is Empathetic. She can feel other people’s emotions and she has been able to get to the root of men’s problems. In this book, she is on to a new client. This new client is none other than super famous movie star Jake Keller. Jake hasn’t been the same for some reason and it’s her job to figure it out and “fix” him. However, there is still someone in the shadows that continues to send her “fan” mail. There is no clue as to who this person is but that person definitely knows who she is. Not only that there is still the person that she loves the most, but they are both so busy and he won’t buckle down and ask for her hand in marriage. Wait, let’s not forget one of the men that she keeps coming across that hates her to pieces. This book is so complex and yet so intriguing at the same time. I can’t help but read these books in the matter of hours rather than days and not being able to breathe until the last page is read. I adore this series and cannot wait to read the next one. I NEED to know what happens!

Infamy (Feisty Lawyers Book 2)
By Seelie Kay

Infamy is book 2 in Feisty Lawyers series by Seelie Kay. If you enjoyed Snatching Dianna, book one in the series then you are going to love Infamy. Infamy is a nice quick read, but just because it’s a quick read don’t be fooled to think that this book is not action packed. You will find this book has action, suspense and danger, and not forgetting the twists and turns that makes the story even better. Infamy can be read as a standalone but as with any other series I would highly recommend that you start with Snatching Dianna just for some background history on the characters.

The last installment of the Surviving Series follows Grace as she works at reclaiming her life back. Moving in with Nichole and her brother, Will, changes things for Grace and the direction her life is taking. As she makes peace with her past and looks to a possible future with Will, her parents have the potential to put it in jeopardy. I felt the drama with her parents was very rushed and could have played a bigger part in the story. All the characters from the other books come together towards the end of the book, which is nice to see where everyone ended up. Great way to end the series.

The Light at Dawn is the first book I have read by K.L. Montgomery. I didn’t even know what it was about when I chose to read it.

At first glance it’s a sad, tragic story, with both main characters loosing their children to school shootings. But then the twist of fate that brings them together, and all the cute romantic gestures from each of them is wonderful. It’s truly a story about fate and second chances. So many awwww moments, turned a sad theme into a beautiful story that I loved. I highly recommend this book and look forward to reading more by Montgomery.

Luke (Dark Water Security #1)Luke by Madison Quinn
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Luke was a great 5 star read and book one of the Dark Water Security.

We start the story with Luke at a young age being tormented and beaten. If he doesn’t win fights his beatings get worse. My heart broke for what he went through. When his tormentor doesn’t think the beatings are enough he brings in someone else that will be beaten in his place. This is when he meets Em. They develop a close friendship and love for each other.

What if I’m tired of surviving?

After their escape we jump ahead a few years. Luke is now a partner in Dark Water Security. He thinks about Em all the time, wondering where she is, if she has a family, etc.. When he meets a friend of his partner that will be assisting in some cases, he is taken back to memories of Em. Could she be his Emily? Can they find the love they once had?

Emily was a fighter just as much as Luke was, they were meant to be brought together to help each other get through this terrible ordeal. Both of them used their experience to help others instead of going down a dark hole. The secondary characters added a great element to the story. I will warn that there are some scenes that may be triggers for some. Madison Quinn does a great job of pulling you in with her writing. I can’t wait to read more from this series.

Both of them have extremely painful and dark pasts that haunt them to this day. Neither of them expected to have anything but the mundane lives they had settled for before they meet that night in Tilly Georgia.

I very much enjoyed the first book, and this one was equally as enjoyable. They are fast reads so if you haven’t read that first book, you’ll get through it in no time so you can get your hands on this wonder. A detailed drama thriller, you are taken on a heart pounding ride, one that takes you deep into Evie’s emotional world. The super fan is more aggressive, more of her past is revealed, as twists and turns takes the story to a whole other level.

Overall this book was the perfect addition, and it’s that perfect mix of dark, light and mystery. So please take my super high recommendation and my stamp of approval, that you will get hooked.

Luke (Dark Water Security Series Book 1) by Madison Quinn is one heart stomping read. OMG this story broke my heart and had the tears flowing. This is my first book by Ms. Madison and I am absolutely blown away. Warning this story may cause triggers. I fell in love with our main characters Luke and Emily and wanted to take out the person who hurt them. This story is dark and oh so raw and my God I can not stop thinking about it, which just goes to show it is worth the read. It is a highly emotional read full of pain and suffering, angst and terror, deceit and horrors you can only dream about. It is well written and the wonderful characters are well developed and multi layered. I read this book in one sitting, I was so invested and there is so much going on in this book and there was never a time that I wanted to put it down. There was no way and I mean no way that I could put it down until I knew the outcome. I also had to remember to breathe, just this simple action was sometimes hard to remember as I was so emotionally into this book.

I will not tell you about the story, I will let you discover it all on your own but as I said before it may cause triggers to some people.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is book two in “The Order of the Senary” series and it can absolutely be read as a stand-alone. Like the first book in the series, BLACK BULLET starts as if you are jumping into the middle of the story. There are characters and locations that you have to get to know quickly because the story moves along at a great pace.

This is one of those books that, at times, I found myself reading faster and faster just like the scene was progressing. That breathless jogging along because it feels like you are watching a movie feeling. The writing is incredibly visual and gory at times
(there is a scene about a woman dancing with intestines like they were feather boas) – it’s like paranormal and horror all built into one delicious story. The layering of the story enhances the richness in the telling.

I don’t think this is one of those books that you can multitask while reading. I think it deserves 100% of your attention from beginning to end.

Finding the right partner is always difficult even when the meeting is easy. When you take that next step and decide it’s really love. But what people I think people miss is that having a person to talk to or that takes care of you is different then loving someone. Penny and Alex learn the differences and it takes their relationship in a different direction. As the story progressed I noticed the moments that seemed forced between them. I noticed their need for independence. The author put a spot light on relationships that are done out of convenience. Relationships based on fleeting emotions. I really liked this story it wasn’t all rose colored glasses.

Rules of Engagement, by Mika Jolie, is the third book of the Platonically Complicated series. This single dad romance that is sweet, witty, fully charged and a great read!! Lucas and Kate burn the pages of this story with their push and pull; their dynamic creates such a great story line, you cannot resist it. Lucas is a strong character; it plays well through the story with his strong values where they relate to his daughter and the lengths he is willing to go to ensure she has the best life. No wonder Kate is willing to stick up for him and give him the additional help he needs. Kate is sassy, spirited and her own individual that shines. She is magnetic and others cannot help but to admire her, as well as, be drawn to her. Mika Jolie is a talented writer and her stories are always a reading pleasure and Rules of Engagement sits firmly in a must read category for romance lovers that enjoy a little bit of drama, with a dash of hot/sexy and a pinch of something tasty to go along with it!

Of note, this story includes both the past and present. As the story unfolds we learn more of Annie, who she was, the choices she made and how they’ve come to shape who she is today. It’s not often that an author’s second story in a series outshines or surpasses the previous book(s), but Rebel Heart has done that. Clara Winter’s storytelling is creative, fresh, appealing and full of emotional charges – both positive and negative. I have fallen in love with this series as essence of the pasts reconnect with today, it’s truly an invigorating read.

The Light at Dawn by K. L. Montgomery is an emotional, heart wrenching story, that follows two parents that have lost their children due to suicide. The book explores darker themes, discussing sensitive material that may be upsetting to certain readers. But the book does a beautiful job of handling such a sensitive issue with utmost care and support. Montgomery does a masterful job of weaving two stories into one, with evocative writing that will not only have you crying like a baby, but leave you permanently impacted. It is a beautiful tale of heartbreak and strength, and the effects of how deeply people impact your life. I really really enjoyed this book, despite how much I cried whilst reading it. But it is brutally honest and eye opening to see how these two characters handle their grief, and how they try to keep moving forward, when they’ve lost so much. I highly recommend this book to everyone, as well as encourage everyone dealing with mental health issues to seek help. It ain’t weak to speak.

A great read about survival. Jon is a vampire in a group of hybrids trying to travel the world from leeches. When he takes down a coven, he clashes with Lawan a hybrid fighter. Intrigued, he follows her as an old enemy of Brooklyn returns for vengeance. Can Jon
A great read. Well developed plot with twists and turns. Well developed characters like Jons harsh nature but kind underneath or Lawan strong and frierce but caring underneath. Great cast of supporting characters like the strong and silent Rome or the kind Shaul.
I loved the visual detail throughout the novel in the sense of ruin with the empty church and deserted streets and dark alleyways, a world once colourful brought into darkness with the iinsurgency. Or the
the combination of the carousel music and the bloodbath scenes for the sense of the macabre beautifully written and spinechilling.
Also loved with the scenes in the hospital which grabbed the readers attention straight into the action
I loved the combination of realism with hospitals and sci fi dystopia land. I loved the twists wig the hybrids as a wonderful addition to the fantasy genre with ice powers and fire and the shapeshifter.
The only issue I would raise is that it was unclear as to the difference between leeches and vampires why they were fighting them except to save the world. Fast paced action and high stakes made for a captivating read. overall, a great read and I would give it four stars.

Infamy (Feisty Lawyers, #2)Infamy by Seelie Kay
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Infamy by Seelie Kay is the second book in the Feisty Lawyers series. This can be read as a standalone but I recommend reading the first book before this book. The series continues with agent Cade Matthews and his wife Constitutional Law Professor Janet MacLachlan. The two have been brought into a plot that involves the lives of many. Can they figure everything out and save the people?
This is a good read that kept me reading. I like the interactions between the characters and the continuing story of Cade and Janet. I enjoyed the suspense and action. This is a series that keeps me wanting more. I like the intrigue and look forward to reading more.

Deepest Midnight (The Immortal Kindred Series #1)Deepest Midnight by Clara Winter
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Deepest Midnight by Clara Winter is the first book in the first book in the Immortal Kindred series. The story is set in modern-day Savannah, Georgia with some flashbacks to the 18th-century French court. Millicent is an immortal vampire who meets an actor who looks like her long lost love of ages ago. I really like Millicent and other characters. I was drawn in by the story and loved the flashbacks to her mortal life. The secondary characters were great. I really look forward to reading more from this series.
