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

The Monster’s Lover
By: Samantha MacLeod
My Rating: 5 of 5 stars

The Monster’s Lover (The Fenris Series Book 1) by Samantha MacLeod was a hot, steamy, fast read, that had me hooked!

Not my first read dorm this author, so I expect good things.. if you know what I mean..”wink, wink“..

Right away I was pulled into this new world and I didn’t want to leave. Sure, is there insta-lust, an unrealistic hot male MC, and a overly gorgeous female MC that everyone wants… yes, but hell, none of that matters. Why? Because the writing was phenomenal. For a short read at 110 pages, no detail was spared. The flow was smooth and the transitions near perfection. In a short amount of time raw emotions were conveyed, connections made and dread pooled in my gut, as things took a dark turn towards the end. I almost put the boor down cause I fear the worst! It’s been awhile since I emotionally connected with a book like that, and wow, just wow.

As this book is so short I’m not going to give you anything that might spoil this hot wonder. Just know that this book will sweep you off your feet like Fenris did with Sol. (BTW I want me a Fenris) So please take my ultimate high recommendation and my golden stamp of approval, that you will fall deep into this otherworldly book and not want to come up for air.

Happy Reading

Nothing But Trouble (Irresistible Billionaires Book 1) by Ashley Bostock – Review by Heather Bahm

February 3, 2019/0 Comments/in Reviews /by Heather Bahm

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

Ashley Bostock’s Nothing But Trouble is the first book of the Irresistible Billionaires series. This romance was cute and appealing in how it approached online dating, or at least, the use of an online dating tool. Michael and Sophia’s characters were each seeking something and found something other than what they were initially planning on. Life always seems to have a way of throwing those curve balls at us when least expected. That is fully showcased in this story. I found the characters fun, witty, and challenged in their own individual ways. The drama added some additional spice to the story to overcome, but it was done in a way that fit with the story line and theme. This is a series for any romance lover to read, as it features a savvy, sexy and irresistible billionaire and includes some hot chemistry alongside it.

Luke (Dark Water Security Series Book 1) by Madison Quinn – Review by Heather Bahm

February 3, 2019/0 Comments/in Reviews /by Heather Bahm

Luke by Madison Quinn
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Luke, by Madison Quinn, is the first book in the Dark Water Security series. This contemporary military romance was absolutely riveting! The past influences so much of this story and the way the author laid out this story was beautifully done despite the raw, emotional and difficult topics that are brought into the story. Luke is one of the main characters of this story and he exudes protectiveness with his past determining strong parts of his personality and his stance on many topics. Enter Emily who is her own unique, determined and strong character. There is something about her that draws Luke to her. This story if full of drama, intense chemistry, and discussion of turning points in their lives, along with defining moments. This is one heck of an intro to the series and I cannot wait to get my hands on the next to see what Madison Quinn brilliantly comes up with next!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Stepping It Up is Book 2 in the Liberty Lawrence Series, but can totally be read as a stand-alone but to be honest with how enjoyable this book is you wouldn’t want to skip book 1.
This is a such a fun, Light-hearted romantic comedy read you can’t help but be intrigued and captivated with this read.
I absolutely loved Libby second time round, she seems even more relatable and lovable. This book is a feel-good read that is funny, captivating and utterly brilliant from start to finish. Bea Stevens has created such a wonderfully written book that flows, has incredible characters and a plot that is great throughout.

I can’t wait to see what other journeys this author takes us on, this is a read not to be missed!

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 by Alex Bailey a four-star read that will take you places. This one will likely confuse you at times when you first start reading but keep reading as it does unfold and you will understand the whole pot of crazy that goes on, the twists do become clear and this dark wonder becomes clear. The author has a great talent at giving just enough information to keep you hooked but not too much that it gets nuts. There are far to many characters to mention as I don’t want to leave any of these amazing characters out, my only issue was I felt it did go on a little and it was crazy at the beginning but it did pull it together overall.

Beneath the Surface by Amy McKinley
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Beneath The Surface is the 3rd book in the Gray Ghost series by Amy McKinley. This is 4th book I have read by this author (there is also a prequel to this series). I have loved all the books so far and this one was no exception. I really hope that Amy McKinley continues this series. The books in this series can be read as a standalone but I would certainly recommend reading the whole series.
Like the rest of this series, this book had me gripped from start to finish. I absolutely adored Jack and Hannah’s story. They had been involved with each other many years before, but when the plane Hannah is travelling on with her boss is hijacked, it’s the Gray Ghost team that come to rescue.
Jack and Hannah’s world come crashing together but is Hannah really who Jack thinks she is. Is Hannah really a spy working for the enemy? Hannah is a Russian sleeper agent who has been planted by the Pentagon but are her allegiances still with Russia or has the suffering they put her family through made her allegiances lie elsewhere?
The chemistry between Jack and Hannah is still high and they struggle to fight their feelings for each other. Can they trust each other and work together to overcome the enemy and have a future together? Read this fantastic book to find out. You won’t be disappointed.

A Suitable Affair by Erica Taylor
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

A Suitable Affair (The Macalisters Book 1) By Erica Taylor. Ok so first of all this wouldn’t be my normal reading but I will say this book was incredible. From page one I was completely drawn into this storyline and it’s wonderful characters. The storyline had me guessing and completely entranced which came as a welcome surprise because it truly isn’t in my normal wheelhouse of reading. This is why one should always have an open mind. The author does a wonderful job of writing characters that readers want to know all about and the attention to details doesn’t go unnoticed. This is my first book by this author and I truly can’t wait for more. I’m giving this book a five star review and highly recommend it to everyone no matter your preference on genres.

February 3, 2019/0 Comments/in Reviews /by Naomi McDonald

Shattered by Via Mari
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Shattered is the first book in the Torzial Affair series. It ends in a cliffhanger.

While this is the first book in this particular series, not having read the previous series (Prestian series), I felt like something was missing. The author does a good job of working in elements from events I assume are present in the previous series, so it isn’t like you can’t pick up what is going on; I just feel like it would have a more complete feel if I had more of a connection to the supporting characters. For anyone new to this author, I definitely suggest reading the other series first.

Shattered contains sensitive material that may trigger some readers. The author does have a preface in the book regarding this, which is very thoughtful. I liked that the author did not downplay the affects of Jenny’s hardship experience on her mental health.

This book was a quick read for me and overall was a good escape from reality for a bit.

The Future Memoir Of Ann Jones was an excellent novel with a little time travel and magic. The author pulls you in to the interesting hype about the secret knitting club and as the reader you can’t help but wonder just what is going on. There were crazy rules the members had to follow. I loved Ann’s character and how she changed over time. She was so focused and creative. I also loved how her relationship with Ben started out. I was laughing at the attempts he made to get her on a date. He was determined. This was such a magical and wonderful read!

The Shape of Trust (a Stand By Me novel Book 5) by Brinda Berry
4 out of 5 Stars

This new aged adult romance novel is a fun, easy paced book about growing into yourself and moving past old expectations and learning from past mistakes.
Webb and Lily and two wonderfully diverse characters who are perfect;y opposite. Webb was a wild man. A man who lived large and partied harder. He has a fortune from busting his butt to get to the top and now the party scene just isn’t as appealing as it use to be.
Lily. Her sweet soul. She is just trying to make the best of what life has given her. It hasn’t always been easy for Lily. School was difficult because of a learning disability and she is just trying to establish herself in this cruel world.
This is where Webb meets Lily. Webb’s 5 year old daughter is thrust into his life and its sink or swim time for him. Luckily, Lily is a lifeboat.
The banter between these two is hilarious. The author crafted an amazing story. I loved reading this story from cover to cover and was left breathless when it ended. A absolutely beautiful story.

Edward Petrosky, this man. I swear. Every time I hear his name, little tears start to prick my eyes. This Novella is the back story of Edward. Edward joins the Ash Park Police Force to keep from having to join the military. Too many personal demons to face in the military.
One night, working his normal routine at the station. Petrosky gets a call that rocks his world. His fiance, Heather, is found bloody and dead in the snow and he is powerless to do anything for the case. Ordered to say away from the case, Petrosky finds himself slipping away.
When additional murders occurs, Petrosky is convinced there is a serial killer on the loose and the Ash Park Police Department is missing the connection between all of them.
Edward has a decision to make. Either stay the good solder, keep his head down and maintain the beat, or go against orders, track down the leads, stop the killer and get justice for Heather.
I am so glad I read this book. I have loved this character and I wanted to know more about it. A total 5 Star Book!

The Future Memoir of Ann Jones: A Time Travel Romance with a Splash of Magic
By Alex Bailey
Rated 3 stars

This is a crazy, crazy story with a multitude of characters. They range from sweet and funny to strange and haunting. There were many that have a hard edge to them that comes out at weird times. The story was a bit strange at first then got moving right along. When she first met her neighbor and the car salesman I thought this was going to be great. These two quirky characters were going to set the tone for the book. They did in a way but I got a bit bored with all the life stories once she joined a club. I know..I know they served a purpose but they just didn’t do it for me. One or two to set the tone would have been fine.

This is my second Alex Bailey book. I liked the idea of the story but the delivery of a few things were tedious. Ben and Daniel were my two favorite characters. I loved Ben’s tenacity over Ann stubbornness. Daniel was just a fun creative guy. What a weird little town and club this was.

Four Stars

Women and men that survive abuse are amazing brave people. They truly give up everything to save themselves and their children. It takes so much courage to leave. I was so shocked by this story. Tallie and Cody were traumatized and it felt like they were going to lose the battle. Even Tom and Michael had their own battle scares and fears. It was a good story about blending families and getting through troubled times. The level of trust Tallie must have felt for Tom was amazing. After all she had experienced it’s a wonder she could at all. The author did a great job planning this story out. There was no rush and every line flowed smoothly.

I’m becoming a bigger fan of this author the more I read…I loved Snatching Dianna and then she comes out with this one… Loved it!! Also a very quick read yet full of content that never left me feeling like anything was rushed.

This book had it all…There were funny parts, suspenseful parts, quite a bit of danger and a lot of sitting on the edge of my seat. I enjoyed the characters from the first book being present in this one and although you could probably read this as a stand alone I would not suggest it, the first in this series was amazing and you won’t be sorry starting there.

I can’t wait for more from this author, her style of writing is exactly what I like and she has definitely been added to my watch file.

Awesome!

The Monster’s Lover by Samantha MacLeod
4 Stars

This is a short book steeped in Norse Mythology. I love when books spin tales of gods within their pages. Sol Erikson comes from a poor family and to pay the tax to the king, her family gives her over to him. She must join the King’s harem at the Reaping so time is running out for her. While wandering the Ironwood Forest, she meets a stranger who claims to be a legendary monster. All she sees is a man too handsome to be human therefore he must be a demon. Beyond logic and common sense, Sol takes him as her lover hoping to enjoy her last moments of freedom.

The book is pretty much all sex but the author manages to incorporate enough of a storyline to keep it interesting. The Fenris Wolf is based on Fenrir from Norse mythology who is the evil son of Loki. Though feared in this book as well, it is up to you to decide if he is evil or not. Read the book and find out. I’m waiting to read part two to see what happens next.

Man this story was violent and bloody. I’m not sure if I remember much but that. I will say that the main character Lyla had my respect for half the book. She got away but didn’t lay low the right way. Gavin didn’t know when to stop and that was his down fall. He could have given it up but his guilt, anger and pain was too strong. I love them together though. You definitely show a better side of Gavin when he was with Lyla. I was so sad at the end and I cat believe how the author did us like that at the end. The crime Lord was too familiar with Lyla I have a guess on who he is. I recommend this story just because it gives you a taste of all sides of the coin.

Vampires are my go to books. I love most reads that feature blood sucking lol. I was so excited to dive into this story. Normally it’s a guy that’s the vampire and the female is just a mortal. In this story our girl has the fangs and it’s depressing. But it gets better she just has to find her happy place. The author made some surprising twist that made the story stand out more. It wasn’t a typical vampire story. Mills has a very depressing personality and it doesn’t make her likable but you do understand her. I don’t like my characters to be down 24/7. As the story goes on the author puts some twist in that just have you wanting to scream. I love books that are unpredictable. The author definitely delivered.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The Future Memoir of Ann Jones: A Time Travel Romance with a Splash of Magic is a story by Alex Bailey. A never before read author, I was intrigued by the blurb of the story, and my fascination just grew from there.

Ann Jones captivated my attention from the very beginning. Her whole persona was a mystery begging to be unravelled. What made her tick was something I had to discover. The story was so well written and stunning in its descriptive and engaging manner. Ann and her shenanigans made me laugh, cringe and love hard. I was bewitched by this mesmerising and exciting tale. Her journey is a wild one, and she learns so much about herself, it is the ultimate reading pleasure personified. Wife, mother, friend and knitting club member, she has a busy life, and her imagination will take readers on a wild ride with an exciting leading lady and a cast of complementary characters to help Ann on her mysterious and way.

A beautifully written story that took me on a path I don’t usually take when reading a high quality story. A story like this I have never read. The knitting club raised my curiosity to high levels and the evolving of the story was masterful. 5 stars.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Caught in the Spin by Sharleen Scott is the second book in the Caught Series. I didn’t know if I could like this book more than the first but I think I did, even if by just a little bit.

I was intrigued by Tom in book one, felt he had a story that effected him deeply and I was so right. It was a better story than I could have imagined. We all have that one person. From our past that we still think of from time to time. It could be a smell or a song that brings back a flood of memories. For me it’s a Guns n Rose’s song. He is hit with a huge reminder of his first love more than once.

Tallie was a hero through and through. She refused to be a victim or allow her son to be one. It wasn’t always easy for her but she didnt give up.

I want to know Jax and what happened with him before he ended up in Tennessee with Clay and his band.

Great series and looking forward to book three and maybe four??

Infamy by Seelie Kay is the second book in the Feisty Lawyers series. There were no dull moments in this book and kept me on the edge through most of it. I would have liked to see a bit more of a buildup with Hope’s relationship but other than that I liked it the way it was.

We meet up with Cade, Janet, Anders and Dianna a year after the first book and a lot has happened in that time. I liked seeing where they were after Dianna’s kidnapping and recovery.

The security of the United States is in danger from an unknown threat, but thankfully the Black Ops team is working the case to see what they can do to prevent another horrific attack.

Very enjoyable series and hope to see more in the future.

This was definitely an engaging original story that I found to be most intriguing. This story is full of twists and turns and be careful because there are things that are not as they seem. As I read further into this book more and more of it came together and made sense. I experienced a variety of emotions while reading this, I laughed, I sat at the end of my seat with the suspense gripping me, and I was touched by the women’s stories. There is a lot going on in this book and the author did an amazing job making it all come together, connecting the dots if you will.

Deepest Midnight
By: Clara Winter
My Rating: 5 of 5 stars

Deepest Midnight (The Immortal Kindred Series #1) by Clara Winter was an engaging read that had me hooked from start to finish.

My first read by this author and I’m impressed. It’s been awhile since I’ve read a good paranormal romance, especially one involving vampires, and I will tell you I had this book read in one sitting. This book had a mix of everything, it played with the normal tropes and clichés, but didn’t overload, and gave more substance to the vampire lore. This book had this dark tone throughout. Even when there was cause to be happy, that lurking darkness was still there, letting us know this book is anything but.

There is one thing I want to touch on and highlight, that really pulled me into this book, and that was the flashbacks to Millicent past. They were giving little by little at first, just a sneak peek here and there into her oastself, and into a time long gone. It gave us just enough that when she reveal her whole story, you were engrossed, captivated and didn’t want it to end. In truth, if the author wanted, could make a prequel going more in depth with what transpire not only between Millicent and Julien, but what transpired after her change.

Overall this book is a solid read, and it’s a solid start to what will probably become my most anticipated series of this year. So please take my super high recommendation and my golden stamp of approval, that this book will put you in a trance and you will not be able to stop reading until you get to that bittersweet ending.

Happy Reading

Beneath the Surface is the third book in Amy McKinley’s Gray Ghost series, the books read well as standalone stories but I would recommend reading them all just to get the most of this incredible series. Amy McKinley had me
hooked on her writing by the very first installment, she has a talent for creating fast paced stories with great characters and non stop excitement. Beneath the Surface fulfills my expectation of an action packed romantic story, and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a great read, or even a series that gets better with each book.

She loves her new quiet life until, Gavin sends someone after her. Now thrown back into the the Las Vegas lifestyle. The fight has just begun.

Mia Knight has written this suspenseful romance story. I have had so many feels while reading this book. I absolutely loved the story, even though I got angry many times. I also love the characters in this series. I can’t wait to see where the author takes her story. This story is not for those under 18. Due to graphic violence and explicit sex scenes. Well done Mia Knight!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Caught in the Spin (the Caught Series Book 2) by Sharleen Scott is the second book in the series, that gets better with each book. Trust me, you need to read the first book in the series as this one comes into play two years after the first book and the characters are intertwined. The plot is a little more sinister than the first, but boy, oh boy, I was captivated and enthralled and no way was I putting it down, even when work got in the way, it was all I could think about. I fell in love with Tom and Talli as I did with Clay and Harlie from the first book. In fact I fall in love with all Sharleen’s main characters. Amazing. Tom, a strong, caring, sexy man has more than physical scars, he spent years looking, years wondering, years wanting. Now he is faced with his past but never in the way he would have imagined, not in a million years. This twist brings heartache and sadness but also an unknown joy. Tallie, a beautiful, sweet soul has lived through an horrendous past but came out one hell of a strong woman. More than she knows. Unfortunately, that past has resurfaced and is making good on a promise.

It is an emotional read where sometimes there is laughter but other times there are tears. Sharleen is one author that everyone needs to read. She has definitely is a very talented lady.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Not So Broken (Love Grows Series Book 1) by Renee Regent is a contemporary romance that finds its way in to your heart and is a fantastic start to the series. It is a bit of an emotional read, sometimes there is laughter but other times there are tears. I was captivated at the raw and real feel of the storyline and I fell in love with Sacha and Gibson.They are two people that are complex, with secrets and trust issues and lots of baggage. But for all that they are wonderful characters, as are their best friends who had me laughing and crying.

Gibson, is a broken man and has left his high profile life behind to somewhere remote and isolated to heal. He is no longer the man he was, that man left a long time ago but the pain, the hurt, the blame he has place upon himself may never be broken. Now he is faced with a miracle, one that brings heartache and sadness but also an unknown joy. Now if only he could make this strong headed woman see he was what she needed. His emotions are so raw that you feel them right along with him and you just want to wrap him up and show him that it will all be ok.

Sacha, was blindsided by a cheating past but came out stronger than before. One night has now left her with a miracle, something she knew was impossible, something she was told would never happen. There were times I wanted to knock some sense into Sacha, she frustrated me a lot. She is just so stubborn and headstrong and didn’t need a man but she is also focused, determined, and goal orientated to get what she wants to support her life.

Not So Broken is a great story, with lots of emotions. I was highly invested in their lives and the outcome from the very start. Now I can’t wait for the next book.

The Shape of Trust (Stand By Me, #5) by Brinda Berry – Review by Jana Teppih

The Shape of Trust by Brinda Berry
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The Shape of Trust is the fifth book in Brinda Berry’s Stand By Me series. I have read EVERY SINGLE ONE of them so you can imagine I was pretty impatient while waiting to get my hands on this one! I guess you could read the story as a standalone (I did start with the 2nd book) but I have learnt that you actually get more out of the series by reading them in order as you get the references!
The Shape of Trust is the story of Webb Walters and Lily Rose and it starts at the bookstore that we learnt to love in the previous book of the series. You cannot believe the connection that is there between Webb and Lily, the struggle that Webb goes through to not give in to it … And let’s not forget about the surprise he gets when his five year old daughter is dropped at his door step, well at the book store, one rainy night … from a bachelor with a past into an insta-dad with no clue … and then there is Lily who struggles with her day to day life, who is like a little fairy that all the kids flock to and fall in love with and who drives in to save the day and brings the temptation even closer …
The writer has given us two great characters that struggle with real problems and I love the way she shows us what our potential path could be!
