Hard as Steel (Surviving Series, #4) by Virginia Wine – Review by Erica Fish

Hard as Steel: Book four by Virginia Wine
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Content warning: Contains adult content, language, and scenes that may not be suitable for all audiences.

Hard as Steel is the book four in the Surviving Series by Virginia Wine and this book is not a read alone story as the characters do carry from the previous books. I love the way Ms. Wine writes her characters as if they are my friends in real life. I was pulled into this story from the first paragraph until the last word. Hard as Steel has some adult content that may not be for everyone and I found myself having some trouble getting through a couple of scenes but I am glad I did not give up. On the other hand there is some good times as well, there is mystery, love, comedy, suspense and romance. I recommend reading this story especially if you have read the other books.

Salvation: An Ash Park Prequel Novella by Meghan O’Flynn
4 Stars!!!!

This is the prequel to the Ash Park series and I have to say that I enjoyed the chance to get to see the
beginning of Petrosky’s story. This book really helps set up the series. I found that the author has a unique style and brings the characters to life. I couldn’t put this book down.

I really like the opportunity to see what helped to mold Petrosky into the detective and man he became. I found this book to be a real good addition to the series and helps to really put things in perspective. I really found myself going through the emotions as Petrosky does experiences them. I found that the twists in this book really add to the intrigue and drama. I would definitely read more from this author in the future.

Rules of Engagement by Mika Jolie
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Rules of Engagement by Mika Jolie is the third book in the Platonically Complicated series. This book can be read as a stand-alone.
If, like me, you love books about single dads then this is certainly a book for you! The description told me it was going to be good but I was hooked on this book, and these characters as soon as I started reading. I loved the main characters and I loved how obviously compatible they were. You could feel the chemistry between them.
This is always an author o have enjoyed reading but this book by far had to be my favourite. I thoroughly enjoyed everything about this book.

Nothing But Trouble (Irresistible Billionaires #1) by Ashley Bostock – Review by Sheri Schrader

February 4, 2019/0 Comments/in Reviews /by Sheri Schrader

Nothing But Trouble by Ashley Bostock
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Nothing But Trouble by Ashley Bostock is the first book in the Irresistible Billionaire series. The story follows Michael Vilander who has created a matchmaking website. When he needs a date he resorts to making a fake profile. Sophia Baldwin responds to the profile. I liked the story and where this matchmaking led Michael and Sophia. The story was good overall but a few places dragged. I was not taken in by the characters at the beginning but grew to want to know their story and where it was going. Overall, this was a good story and kept me entertained. I look forward to reading more in this series.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Deepest Midnight: Book 1 of the Immortal Kindred Series
By Clara Winter
Rated 4 stars

This is a story of vampires or immortals. I was glad to pick this up because it’s been a bit since I was able to indulge myself. I was a bit shocked over this story. It was not what I expected it to be. It starts off at a nice pace as we are Introduced to the characters. We meet a few humans and then everything goes haywire. Half way through there is A lot of memory sharing and inner thinking. I got a bit bored at that point. Millicent is Way overthinking the situation (I know she is a different vampire but still) It picks back up near the end for a smashing conclusion.

Vampires are my second fav paranormal story. So I have read a lot. I felt this had a some holes in it. With them being together for 240 years I would think they would know a lot more about vampires than what was led to believe. I enjoyed the story of how Alexandre enticed Millicent to him. The relationship with the human and between the 3 vampires were lovely adds to the story. Overall this is a short look into the current life of a few vamps with some flashbacks to help explain a few things. I enjoyed the explanation of the title. Very interesting and perfect! I liked this…yes i had a few issues but it is a good story and held my interest. I read it fairly quickly and the story did move along nicely. This is my first time reading this author. I am giving her second book in the series a read.

The Future Memoir of Ann Jones: A Time Travel Romance with a Splash of Magic by Alex Bailey
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

“The Future Memoir of Ann Jones” is a wildly imaginative story by Alex Bailey. It may take you a minute to get into the book, but do not give up! This creative story will keep you turning the pages and guessing until the very end! This was one of those stories you don’t want to put down simply because the story is so inventive and you just want to know what happens next! Ann is a wonderfully complex character who just moved to a new town that makes her question everyone and everything. I thoroughly enjoyed reading about her adventure, even if it did leave me with a few questions of my own! There were a few points that I was hoping would get explained in more detail but didn’t, but that didn’t stop me from enjoying this book. So, I give “The Future Memoir of Ann Jones” four stars!

Pandora’s Poison by Sacha T. Y. Fortuné
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Pandora’s Poison is book two in Hart and Cole series by Sacha Fortune. This series is amazing and is a must read. I was so excited to read the book and was not disappointed. Book 2 you get to learn more about Darren and Luisa. I was really surprised how much I ended up liking Darren. His Charter is really great. Him and his wife Luisa are having a ruff relationship with some issues and he is being wonderful and trying to work things out although he’s far from perfect I feel Luisa is lucky to have him. Luisa has been a stay at home mom for a few years and Darren is a workaholic so she was taking care of 3 kids on her own and dealing with some issues herself and not having her husband around played a big role in the way things played. This amazing series will keep you engrossed and you wont be able to stop reading!! I can not wait to read book 3!!!! So many amazing people in her books I don’t want this Series to end she could write 12 books in this series and no one would be tired of reading about them. The only issue with Pandora’s Poison ending is having to wait for book 3 to come out 🙂

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I enjoyed this book. This story has a little bit of everything in it to satisfy everyone. It is creative, engaging and realistic. Daniela is a great character that I enjoyed watching grow throughout the story. She is strong considering what she goes through. I was taken on an emotional roller coaster ride that I didn’t want to put down. It is a journey of hurt, learning to trust and letting yourself heal. It was worth the read and I highly recommend this book.

This is my first book by this author, I enjoyed it from beginning to end. This is a romance-suspense story that took me on a journey of twists and turns that left me turning pages. My favorite character, is Trouble who is a cat. I also enjoyed how the author told parts of the story in his POV. Annabel and Ethan are also great characters and I loved their chemistry. Will they solve the wedding mystery and get their HEA at the same time? I highly recommend this fun, engaging book.

Deepest Midnight by Clara Winter
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I give Deepest Midnight: Book One of the Immortal Kindred Series by Clara Winter, 4 stars.

Millicent is a vampire that has been around for over two centuries. And she has been grieving the whole time. In fact, she has not been happy since she was mortal and was truly in love. But that ended up being short lived. Now she has met man who reminds her so much of him. But is it this man the one she loves or just the memory of her lost love? Plus he is human. If she wants a long relationship, she must tell him. Will it ever work?

This a paranormal romance with some suspense thrown in. There are flashbacks to tell you more of Millicent’s mortal life plus much going on in modern day. There at the relationships with her immortal family, as well as interacting with humans. She struggles daily. This book was okay to start with, but it gets quite good with the twists and turns you won’t see coming. Plus an angle that I won’t give away that I have not seen in vampire stories before.

I was intrigued with this book and I highly recommend it to those who love vampires and interesting stories.

The Future Memoir of Ann Jones: A Time Travel Romance with a Splash of Magic by Alex Bailey
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The Future Memoir of Ann Jones was a really refreshing read. When I first read the blurb I wasn’t quite sure it would be a book I would enjoy but I decided to give it a go and it is exactly a described – a time travel romance with a splash of magic! It really was great to read. I found myself captivated by the story straight away, I liked that I wasn’t sure what was going to happen and as Alex Bailey is a new to me author I wasn’t sure how the book would be written. The author had a really great engaging and very imaginative writing style which suited the story perfectly. It did take me a little time to understand what was going on but that just added to the intrigue of this book. The characters in the story were really great and there were definitely some great humorous moments that were very entertaining.
I definitely recommend this book and would love to read more from this author again in the future.

5-stars

Once again, this author has left me at a loss for words! Pandora’s Poison is the second book in the Hart & Cole series, a series that absolutely must be read in order, this book cannot be read as a standalone.

Just like the first book this one is captivating, addicting, raw, emotional, heart-wrenching, soul-sucking and just unbelievably phenomenal! I’ve never had a book affect me in quite the way that this one has, I have felt so invested in these characters from the beginning as the story is written with so much detail that it feels like I’m right with there with them every step of the way.

This author has quickly made her way to the top of my list of favorites so quickly and I honestly couldn’t recommend this series enough! It’s one of the best I’ve EVER read, I cannot wait to dive into book 3 as soon as possible to find out how everything will play out!

5 Stars

My first read by this author and Holy Moly what a read…I’m not a deeply religious person as far as the different religions, but I’m a sincere Christian and I completely appreciated this author sharing this story. It had me asking myself a lot of questions, some I really didn’t have answers to and others I felt like I was on the same page as this author.

I read this in about an hour and spent a bit of time after with many thoughts going through my head. As far as the writing style this author has, I loved it…Every word flowed perfectly and smoothly and I’m really looking forward to looking into her other books especially Jane…I really must read that book.

Thank you Miss Onuorah for sharing this story, I can not imagine it was easy to write but I am so thankful I was able to read it!

Awesome!

The book WTF, God?: Understanding God in the Midst of Transition by Michelle N. Onuorah is a story that is inspirational. I could feel that it is written from the heart and enjoyed the lessons that it gave. It is a story that is honest and beautifully told. It is a book that takes you through a period of the author’s life. It is a story about faith and includes the power of prayer in a person’s life. I enjoyed how the author told things that way they are and didn’t beat around the bush or try to minimize things. I found myself looking at my faith and relationship with Him in a different way. I enjoyed the personal experiences that the author gave and how she reacted to the good and bad times. It is a story that held my interest from the start to the ending page. It is a story that I would recommend reading. It was a joy to read.

The story What She Lost and Found by M.L. Garcia is a wonderful book that I loved reading. It is a story that hooked me in from the beginning and didn’t let go until the ending page. It is an emotional journey that I found both heartbreaking and heartwarming. I loved reading about the character of Daniela Franco. She is someone who because of the past doesn’t trust easily and is careful who she lets into her life. Her journey has her taking chances of building trust and includes the possibility of finding love. Reading about how Daniela feels is at times sad however there are other times that have her experiencing happiness. How will Daniela cope when secrets from the past begin to resurface? Read this book to find out. This story includes emotional dialogue. My emotions went up and down the entire time I read the story. I found myself angry and sad about some situations that happen. There are other times where you can’t help but feel the good emotions and hope that Daniela has. The story has additional characters that are introduced and I enjoyed reading about the part they play in Daniela’s life and their interactions with her. The story flows smoothly and was a joy to read. This is a book that touches the heart and has amazing characters. Don’t miss out on reading it. I would highly recommend it.

She soon finds herself caught up in an investigation headed by Ethan. Ethan shows himself to be protective of Annabel. Danger follows the investigation into a rash of wedding burglaries.

Rainy Day Lovers by Alicia Street
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Rainy Day Lovers is the 3rd book in the Rocklyns series by Alicia Street. Each book in the series can be read as a stand-alone. This is the first book I have read by this author and if this book is anything to go by, I’ll be reading more.
Rainy Day Lovers is a short read (120 pages) but there’s so much packed into those 120 pages. It’s a heart-warming story which shows that if someone really believes in you and encourages you, you can achieve great things.
Raina (Rainy) Rocklyn has a heart of gold and will do anything to help others. One such act of kindness totally changed the life of homeless teenager Robbie Malako when she saved him from a brutal attack. Robbie had been badly burned in a fire and was badly disfigured which lead him to be the subject of abuse and attack.
Years later Raina meets handsome plastic surgeon Roman Blake at a family wedding. There is an instant attraction between them but Roman brushes her off and acts very coldly towards her. Life has other plans and the 2 are forced to spend time together. Unknown to Rainy, Roman is actually Robbie. Not long after the incident with Rainy he was adopted by a plastic surgeon who totally transformed his life.
This is a beautiful story with 2 characters that I adored. If you are looking for a quick read that will make you all warm and fuzzy inside then Rainy Day Lovers is the book for you.

February 3, 2019/0 Comments/in Reviews /by Tracy Wilkin

Nothing But Trouble by Ashley Bostock
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Nothing But Trouble is book one in the Irresistible Billionaires series by Ashley Bostock. I adore a good billionaire romance and I can say this author produces some of the most memorable ones. The story just flowed along, with many bumpy sections, many glorious sections, many tense sections, and endless feelings of love, even when the chips were down.

Sophia is a character I admire. She did what she had to do. She loves with her whole being, and isn’t afraid to get dirty while doing what she needs to do. She didn’t have a lot of choices, but she accepted her lot in life, gor on with it, and dreamed for the future. No way did she accept that she didn’t have option. She just had to bide her time. Her heart was huge, and she just would not cave and wallow. She would rise and be who she wanted one day.

Michael was a mega rich man who had it all. Even things he didn’t want. Like shallow people trying to gain a free ride. He just wanted to find the “one”. When he was burnt too many times, he decided to take what he needed and leave the emotional stuff to others. Not his angle, anymore. When he meets Sophia, he is a little blindsided. From her looks, her manner, her gentleness, and her innocence. Funny events occurred, and before he knew it, he had a fiancee!! Getting to know these two getting to know each other was enlightening and sweet. But secrets are revealled and their foundation shaken to the core.

Nothing But Trouble was a complete and dramatic romance. It had so much, and the author delicately unveiled each snippet so achingly alluring, I was hanging off every word. So addictive. So tantalising. Reading this story was unforgettable enjoyment. 5 stars.

The author did another amazing job weaving suspense into her story and I loved getting to know Petrosky better. This book gave me more backstory into the horrific and heartbreaking things that Petrosky has been through and what makes him who he has become. I was sucked into this story from the beginning and on the edge if my seat throughout. The ending completely caught me off guard and I wouldn’t expect anything less from this exceptional author. This is a definite must read!! I give this book 5 stars and highly recommend this book

Salvation: An Ash Park Prequel Novella by Meghan O’Flynn is a five star novel.

We are taken on a journey of discovery when Ed’s girlfriend, Heather is murdered. The other detectives in the office thinks that she is not worthy of figuring out what happened to her but Ed can’t get the bloody images out of his dreams. He knows he needs to figure out what happened and he never expected the dark and twisty road his work would take him down. This book was a page turner and I could not put it down!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Rainy Day Lovers is the third book in Alicia Street’s The Rocklyns’ series. As the writer says, you can read all the books in the series as standalones so that is also what I did, I started with book three! I have not read anything else by this writer so I was curious when reading the blurb so I decided to pick up a copy!
I was right! Alicia has given us a beautiful contemporary love story with two amazing characters – Raina and Roman. They were so realistic, you could simply close your eyes and picture this story in front of your eyes, like walking along them … I loved the complexity of the characters and how the wrier spun the story, there was something about the two of them, the way they met, the paths the life took them down on … the sadness, the tension, the attraction, the passion …
I loved the split point of view telling of story that added another layer of reality to the characters as it pushes us deeper into who they are … ALSO, let’s not forget about all those secondary characters that make us wish for their own story so it means I need to go and read the other stories in the series and keep an eye on the next one!

Caught in the Spin is the second book in the Caught series by Sharleen Scott. Although you can read this book asa standalone, I would highly recommend you read the series in order, there are recurring characters and some spoilers to the first book if you don’t read them in order. Plus they are both excellent reads. This story had me hooked from the very first page and I couldn’t put it down until the last. It is filled with action and suspense that had me guessing what would be coming next. Tom and Tallie are relatable characters, with trust issues and Tallie has a dangerous past following her. I love how Ms. Scott brings the stories together with well defined characters and emotional twists that will have you on the edge of your seat. I highly recommend this book, series and author. I’m looking forward to reading the next book in this series.

This was my first read by this author and I really enjoyed this story! It may be book 3 but i was able to read this as a standalone.
While I enjoyed this book, I also felt the two main characters were kind of rushed. We got a little back story, and then they’re kind of thrust together and there wasn’t much “woo-ing” they just sort of were. I just wanted a little bit more from that otherwise this was a realpy great storyline and something different that I haven’t read before.
Will be reading the rest of this series now!

Caught in the Spin by Sharleen Scott
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Caught in the Spin was a thrilling 5 star read and book two in the Caught Series.
I loved book one and was excited to get my hands on this one.

Tallie meets Tom when she goes to deliver some paperwork to Clay. She recognizes him as one of her favorite bull riders, which affected Tom in a negative way and brought back memories of not being able to bull ride anymore.

Tom suffered severe injuries that cost him his riding career. He also has suffered a heart break that he’s trying to get past, and when he gets some shocking news his world is turned upside down. When he turns to Tallie for help they end up growing closer.

When Tallie gets some disturbing news herself she’s ready to run. She confides in Tom who offers to help her. Can he keep Tallie and her son Cody safe?

This story had so many emotional levels, both Tom and Tallie had their own issues that brought them together. Having each other really helped them work through things. I loved both Cody and Mike as well these two boys connected on such a level that really tugged at my heartstrings. All of the secondary characters were great and I really liked seeing Clay and Harlie again. The ending is great and I hope to see more from these two. If you’re looking for a great read than I highly suggest reading this series. You can read this book as a stand alone but I suggest starting with book one.

Rainy Day Lovers by Alicia Street
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is my first book by Alicia Street and I will say she has me hooked. Its the 3rd book in the series but its a standalone but with that said I’m going back to read them all!

Her writing is amazing and she knows how to draw you into the story. The story was well developed and the characters were amazing. So easy to fall in love with and completely well rounded. She made this story relatable and believable which is something I don’t see very often and LOVE!

This book needs to be on everyone one click list! I’ll be going back to read her other books because she has me hooked!

The Monster’s Lover (The Fenris Series Book 1) by Samantha MacLeod – Review by Erica Fish

The Monster’s Lover by Samantha MacLeod
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The Monster’s Lover by Samantha MacLeod is an excellent addition to the books I have read by Ms. MacLeod. This story has a mythological component that makes me even more interested in the story. This tale is based on the Norse Myth of Fenir, which is about a monstrous wolf. Not only are there mythological components, but also fantasy, action adventure and a little romance thrown in. Ms. MacLeod has complex story pattern that reminds me of a spider’s web. Everything is so interconnected that not even one pebble is out of place. Since I knew of her writing pattern, I was prepared to read the story in one sitting. I was right to think so. I felt like I was there in the story and riding along just out of sight of the characters. This story is about Sol who has been promised to the harem of King Kokkyn. Sol’s mother could not meet her payments and Sol was the price for her family to eat over the winter. Sol goes to clean up in the river and she meets Fenris. That was the beginning and the end for Sol. She cannot get Fenris out of her mind. You will have to read more to get the full story. I cannot wait to see what is next for Sol and Fenris.
