A Tendency Dark and Dangerous by Emmalyn Danvers

5 Stars

Sitting here wondering what in the world I just read…… Not even sure where to start with this review.

I have never read a book that was in the free-verse format and when I read the synopsis and it stated this it had me totally curious…Can I just say Holy Mackerel I loved this…I read it in a little over an hour, that was with a break and just focussing on the style I was completely impressed. It read so easy and so smooth and there were no little details that didn’t need to be there, I loved how it moved and I hope to read many more books like this.

Now onto the story itself…Ummmm ok, that didn’t go anywhere near like I thought it would, my jaw was on the floor and i sat just staring trying to wrap my head around it. I wanted to scream at Evangeline and I wanted to completely beat another character and shake another one and then I was laughing at others, this just had me a complete hot mess, but I wanted more when I finished. This was an awesome story and had me guessing till the very end.

Don’t let the free-verse turn you away from this book, it worked in every way it was supposed to in my opinion and I have already looked to see if this author has anything else available and I don’t see anything, so I’ll keep watching and hoping that she writes more because this was completely and sincerely Amazing!

A Tendency Dark and DangerousA Tendency Dark and Dangerous by Emmalyn Danvers
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

A Tendency Dark and Dangerous by Emmalyn Danvers is a dark romance with a twist. This story is told in free verse. I’ve never read a book that was written in free verse so it took a little bit to get used to it but once I did, I couldn’t put it down.

Evangeline has everything she could want, which is hard to believe after enduring her childhood but as far as appearances go, she has the perfect life. Good friends, great boyfriend, and a job that may land her a promotion, what more could she want. When she least expects it, she meets Landon Kelly and there is something about him that draws her in. Landon is persistent, dark and commanding. Surely, it’s only a matter of time before Evangeline gives in. The question is, what will happen when she does? Perfect isn’t so perfect anymore and as the reader, we are there to witness it all.

This book is so emotional, I felt all over the place. I can only imagine how Evangeline felt. This story is not a light read but it is so worth it. I highly suggest, even if you’ve never read a book in free verse, you give this book a chance!

Salvation: An Ash Park Prequel Novella (Ash Park, #0.5)
By Meghan O’Flynn
Rated 5 stars

This is a story of Ed Petrosky before he became a detective. His life was normal and he was happy…yes happy. Hard to imagine if you have read the other Ash Park novels. Anyway we learn some about why he is the way he becomes. Straight to the point, hard and a giver of no-Sh**. I enjoyed reading the look into Ed previous life.

The writing is smooth and as usual I was drawn to the story. The characters are smart and unforgiving. I struggled to figure out this “who-dunnit” so that is always a happy surprise for me when reading her stories.
Even though it’s a Novella..the author doesn’t skimp on the mystery or suspense. This can be read as a stand alone. I have read all the Ash Park novels and still couldn’t figure out this one!

Rainy Day Lovers (The Rocklyns Book 3)Rainy Day Lovers by Alicia Street
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This was the first time I have picked up a full length novel from Alicia Street on its own. I have only read stuff from her in an anthology before. I have enjoyed her writing in those settings so when I saw the eye catching cover and who it was by I went in blind not knowing what to expect. Now this is book three in a series, The Rocklyns, but I didn’t struggle to terribly reading it as a standalone. I would like to go back and read the other two though to get a better understanding of the supporting characters etc.

I adored our main characters though and they really were the shining stars of this novel. Raina and Roman, what is there to not love about these two. They are perfect for each other too. Ugh. Anyways… This is one contemporary romance that I just couldn’t get enough of, in fact that would be m only complaint! I felt this was so short! I could have had just a tad more, but it was fantastic nonetheless. Thanks for a fantastic read Ms. Street. Off to read books one and two of The Rocklyns!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Reading the Ash Park novels throughout 2018 was the favorite times of my dark twisted little thriller heart. Each and every one was a dirty little secret desire that I devoured and enjoyed way too much. In fact, all of Megan O’ Flynn’s novels do that to me actually. I can always count on her when I need a good twisty dark read.

Now with every book Of her Ash Park series I have left a glowing review saying how flabbergasted I was this woman could top the crazy and the great that was the book before it, but she delivered time and time again, and I was heartbroken when I thought it may have come to an end for the Ash Park stories. So to say I was excited when I saw Salvation pop up on my feed would simply be an understatement. I devoured this packed full 161 page novella in just a few short hours and was left dying for a reread of the the series again! LOL! If you haven’t gone and read them yet, do so, you won’t be disappointed!!

Salvation gives us the up close and personal, the nitty gritty, on Detective Edward Petrosky. He was always a favorite of mine throughout the series but seemed to leave a lot of unanswered questions about why he was the way he was… Well no more questions yall. O’Flynn gives and gives and twists the knife ever so perfectly. Of course I am not going to give to juicy gory details, for those you will have to one-click and devour this gem for yourself. You will fall in love I am sure and find yourself hooked! Thank you for this fantastic series Ms. O’Flynn! I can’t wait to see what will come next from you!!

Vortex
By: Kimberly Packard
5 out of 5 stars

The story Vortex by Kimberly Packard is a wonderful book that I enjoyed reading. The story is both emotional and takes you on a high-speed ride with storm chasers. It at times had me on the edge of my seat wondering what was going to happen next. I loved reading about the character of Elaina Adams. She is strong, independent, and has a determination to get her doctorate. A memory has been awakened when she has a close encounter in a storm. She now finds herself looking for answers while putting herself in danger with each new storm she chases. Will Elaina find the answers that she seeks? There are also two other characters that play a part in this story. One of them is Seth Maddux. He is a man who is trying to get his career back on track. He also finds himself very attracted to Elaina. Robert Tucker or “Tuck” is a man that runs a storm chasing business. Because of betrayal, Elaina is forced to pair up with him. Tuck is a man that seems to be more out for himself, so I wondered what his motives were. This story has emotional and intense dialogue. It has times that are sad and heartbreaking. There are other times when the fast pace and danger that comes with chasing storms is felt. My emotions went up and down with the characters. Elaina is a character that I grew to care for with each chapter that I read. Don’t miss out on a story that will pull you in and won’t let go until the end. I would highly recommend reading it.

5 out of 5 stars

The story MOVIE STAR (21st Century Courtesan Book 2) by Pamela DuMond is a new adult/romance book. It is a story that hooked me in from the very beginning and didn’t let me go until the end. It is a book that has steamy/seductive scenes. There are also moments when I wondered what was going to happen next. The story kept me turning pages. One of the main characters is a 21st-century Courtesan. She is a woman who is beautiful, strong, and independent. She is someone who helps others. She is a character whose life is intriguing and complicated. Her current assignment is Jake Keller, a movie start that could be called broken. Will she be able to find out the truth behind why Jake has shut down? Read this story to find out. This book had my emotions going up and down the entire time I read it. I found Jake to be a character that could be described as kind, good-hearted, with a heavy burden. He is a character that I grew to care about and wished for him to be happy. There are additional characters that are included some of which I enjoyed reading about and others I had to wonder as to their agenda and motives. There is emotional and intense dialogue. The story flows smoothly and I found it a joy to read. This is the second book in a series and I loved it just as much as the first one. I am looking forward to reading the next story.

Beneath the Surface
By Amy McKinley

Ok so Beneath the Surface is the third book in the Gray Ghost series by Amy McKinley. I have had the pleasure of reading all the books so far. I honestly have to say I have yet to be disappointed. While the books can be read as a standalone, there is no reason why you shouldn’t start at the beginning. If you start reading this series, you are not going to want to stop until you have finished. As with the other books in this series we still have the action and romance. There is no way I could pick a favourite out of this series as all three books are as good as each other. Amy has given us an awesome series, I just love her storyline plots and the way she writes the characters. So here are the books so far in this series Book one Broken Circle, book two Eye of the Storm, book three Beneath the Surface and let’s not forget Moments that Define Us (Prequel Book 0). So, either just read Beneath the Surface or do yourself a favour and read all the books.

Beneath the Surface (Gray Ghost #3)Beneath the Surface by Amy McKinley
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Beneath the Surface is book three in the Gray Ghost Series by Amy McKinley. This series is gripping, edgy, tense dramatics that delivers 5 star quality with every title. A mesmirising and dangerous dance into the dismal oits of society. It is also a delving into the minds, bodies and souls of Hannah and Jack. They are thrown together, and as an agent, had to endure a lot. A strong willed beauty, Hannah and Jack clash when thrown together, creating sparks heat  and passion galore.

Amy McKinley has produced another tantalising tale of love filled with danger, decadence and delight. The characters were bewitching, and they intertwine effortlessly with previous characters. Always easy to get list in, and never easy to put down. Beneath the Surface is a five star read that is best enjoyed after reading the first two books in the series. The only bad thing is when you reach the end and there are no more words, which then commences the nail biting intense wait for the next instalment.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This series has taken me by surprise. From the synopsis pieces immediately resonated. But still I was unsure if I would connect to the story. My doubts were immediately erased as soon as I read the first page. Dumond has created a world in this series, and maintained in this second installment, whereby the reader immediately dives headfirst into the plot and connects unabashedly to our main character. Masterfully written, this book stands on its own well but is best appreciated to the full when read as part of the series and in series order. Dumond has a unique voice and writing style that is easily followed but not lacking in rich flavor. Wonderfully done. I cannot wait to immerse myself in these pages again.

Shattered: The Torzial Affair Book 1 by: Via Mari- Review by Jessica Ranslow

Brian Carrington knows who Jenny Torzial is, but when he meets her in person for the first time, he is confident that the night will end with Jenny in his arms and under his control. Brian’s irresistible good looks and reputation for being the heir to the Carrington Steel empire are quickly thwarted by Jenny. Unlike the other women in Brian’s life, he can not get Jenny out of his mind. When he attends an event with the hopes of seeing Jenny again, he walks in on Jenny coming face-to-face with her past and Brian is thrust into the role of protector. It is under Brian’s care that Jenny begins to heal from the demons of her past, and begins to explore her true desires. Via Mari alternates chapters between the two main characters in this face paced story of dominance and submission, the dangers of high profile society, and giving the ultimate level of trust in another person.

Via Mari had me from the first chapter and left me craving more!

Emilio and Toni live in a rough time and both have been hurt in different ways. Though their souls are bent, they are not yet broken. In the story, they are placed in a position that could cost them everything. These are not two perfect people. Each has flaws and traumas, and they fight (sometimes with each other and other times for each other). I love how they change during the story!

This story has so much such as spacey adventure, contains both romantic love and familial love, action, and danger! It went from action to action, which kept me on my toes! I loved getting to know Gina and the crew! These characters really added to the story, and I really hope to get to read more about this motley crew.

A super sweet and heart warming quick read. If you like books that make you feel gooey on the inside this a good choice. Roman life wasn’t ideal but it’s a story that many know. He had everything but it was gone in a snap. He got lost in a system that fails even today. Raina is a beautiful person. She has done so much for people without the thought of getting anything in return. When their paths crossed the first time it was a miracle the second time fate. I liked how Roman grew into a more confident person after a while. Raina is perfect lol. I will be checking out more from this author. The writing style was smooth and simple. It flowed nicely together.

Nope I couldn’t do it. I would refuse to do it. I couldn’t imagine someone asking me to get close to a tornado or hurricane. I don’t understand the thrill people get from being in danger. Elaina must have had a death wish. She was too eager to go into the middle of a storm. I didn’t like the way they put Heath’s life on her. She didn’t deserve it. But people say and do a lot when they grieve. Elaina has a lot of emotional and mental baggage and it made her stronger and more stubborn. Seth did a lot of soul searching and found his calling. The author developed the characters just right and it made the ending bitter sweet.

Climbing The Walls (Hart & Cole Book 1)
by Sacha T. Y. Fortuné
5 Stars

Climbing The Walls by Sacha T.Y. Fortune is the first installment of the Hart & Cole Series and it is a contemporary romance book. This is the story of Kris and Nicole, a married couple with children and how they deal with their day to day relationship. They are total polar opposites but you know what they say, opposites attract. Kris is a patient and caring person which would do anything for his family, even if it means doing more than his share. Nicole is beautiful and very is sexy, but an can be a total bitch. She always finds a way to use her sex appeal to get her way. She is realizing with time that her children always gravitate to their father, because she is a workaholic and is never home. She wants to become a better mother but she always allows her work and her writing to get in the way. These two have so much raw chemistry that when they clash, they clash hard, but find the way to makeup and sparks fly. Since the story is written in alternating POV, you always know how Kris & Nicole are feeling at that moment, whether it is anger, jealousy or happiness. There were times in the story that I got so frustrated with both due to their volatile relationship and how they treated each other so cruelly at times, it makes you wonder if they will be able to maintain their marriage with all the obstacles put in their way. I enjoyed reading this book and found myself at times pushing myself to read past my bedtime. I recommend this book and I definitely look forward to reading the rest of the series.

The Ash Park Series had to start somewhere. The Ed Petrosky we know and love had to be shaped by something in his past. Salvation explains how Ed came to be. Salvation keeps you guessing as to where and who the evil really is.

O’Flynn is a master of storytelling. My go to genre is usually romance, however, when-ever there’s an Ash Park story I am there, ready to read. Ed Petrosky is my favorite detective character.

This story is a quick read. Action packed from the start to the finish. I highly recommend this story and this entire series.

A Tendency Dark and Dangerous by Emmalyn Danvers is a dark and raw intriguing read. It is a quick read but it is a powerful story of temptation that is not good for the soul. A temptation that leads to a place where you don’t recognise yourself and what you have become. A temptation that you crave that you feel right down to your bones. A temptation that destroys your life. It is a story that toys with your emotions and shows that addictions come in many forms.

Evangeline has it all until she doesn’t. She has been tempted by the devil himself and destroyed everything she held dear, including her soul. Will she ever be able to find her way back from the black hole she finds herself in.

It is a uniquely written story that is so intense you can not stop reading.

Also, I kept reading to find out about the knitting club that was full of crazy rules. The people Ann encounters in the story are interesting and lively. I enjoyed this book from start to finish.

Killer Lawyer (Jake Wolfe, #3)Killer Lawyer by Mark Nolan
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Killer Lawyer (Jake Wolfe Book 3) by Mark Nolan ​is a very complex and very cleverly written gripping and suspenseful tale and the next in this wonderful series. This story is told in multiple POV’s which gives us more of an insight to the characters and a multi layered dimension. The story is action packed and fast paced with the usual twist and turns that lead you astray. The story is intense and will have your heart racing one minute and have you laughing the next. The danger and the intrigue, the mystery and drama will have the pages falling one after the other as you race towards the finish line.

Jake Wolfe is a former marine, a lawyer, covert operative and a nice guy who always rubs people the wrong way without even trying but if you are ever in a bind, him and his buddy, ex war dog, Cody are the ones you want covering your back. The race is on to stop a serial killer whose kills have no rhyme or reason. If not stopped no one is safe.   Nolan’s plots are complex yet simplistic in their threads in the web he has cleverly woven together. I am very much looking forward to the next book.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Rainy Day Lovers was a good 4 star read.
This is my first read from Alicia Street and I really enjoyed it.

Raina is a hoot of a character. She is very bossy and strong willed. We start with her seeing a homeless teen being bullied and she protects him, feeds him and gives him some advice in hopes that he will be ok.

We jump ahead a few years. Raina meets Roman at her sister’s wedding, she is instantly attracted to him but he always seems to brush her off. When she finally gets him on a date things get interesting. Roman has a secret, how will Raina react when she learns the truth?

I loved Raina and her blunt straight forwardness, she would call Roman out on things and wouldn’t let him shutdown. Roman was all over the place, at times he was strong and other times he was a mess. We get alternating POV which I loved so I could see both of their thoughts. The secondary characters were great. I really liked the ending and the epilogue leads you into the next book and I can’t wait to get my hands on it.

This is the second book in the “21st Century Courtesan” series and I think it’s important to read book one first. There are a few common threads that are vital to understand in order to move the story forward.

I FLOVED this book. I don’t know how many stories there will be in this series, but book two was amazing. I read it in one sitting from beginning to end. It moves quietly along packing punch after punch, from beginning to end I was entranced by the story.

MOVIE STAR is written with a sleakness that I cannot describe. There is ALOT going on yet it was easy to follow along. I would classify this as a story with misdirections to make you look this way while something is happening that way. A story with characters that pulled on my heartstrings while building up to something even bigger.

This is one of those books that I would give more than 5 stars to if I could.

I absolutely recommend this story and this series (read in order, of course).

Confused doesn’t even cover how I feel after reading this story. The author truly played with my head on this one. So many questions I need answered. Allie’s character was the most mysterious. The circumstances surrounding her and her past. I wasn’t a fan of Charlotte, she is selfish and greedy. Man the way this story plays out isn’t how any one would guess. I can’t really write some stuff because I want the suspense to get you. The story was very compelling and showed a need for better mental health. Allie has issues and someone should’ve noticed. Overall I liked this story and hope that it doesn’t really end like this. My mouth dropped at the last line of the page and I’m excited to see what is next. So many unknown factors.

My Rating: 4 of 5 stars

Best Foot Forward (The Liberty Lawrence Series #1) by Bea Stevens was a sweet, light hearted read that hits you right in the good feels department.

My first read from this author and I’m liking what’s being put out. A fun light heart read with witty dialogue, exciting characters, a mystery, and of course a hot cop, made for an entertaining, engaging read that had me flipping the pages. I will say that, I did at times find myself annoyed with the inner dialogue of the MC. She’s very into fashion and brands, and as someone who doesn’t care about labels, I found the constant high end label name drops, annoying. I get it, it’s part of the character’s persona, but it was too much.

Speaking of the MC, Libby was something. But I don’t like how over the top, the clumsy, bad luck, trope was bestowed on her was. It got to the point where the surprise was taken away, and I just rolled my eyes when she fell, tripped, or ruined something… again. Once in awhile is fine, but like her label dropping, it was too much. But overall she was a pretty solid character, and she did grow on me. I liked how she kept pushing forward and how loyal she was to her bestie.

Overall this story was sweet, fun, and entertaining as hell. I love the ending, way to leave a girl hanging! I need to know if that last scene was stage or true! Good thing I already have the second book. And will be jumping into that one ASAP!

So please take my high recommendation and my stamp of approval that you will have the time of your life reading this book.

Happy Reading

Caught in the Spin (The Caught Series Book 2)
By Sharleen Scott
Rated 5 Stars!!

I LOVE the cover of this book! So Sexy! This is the perfect second book in this series! We were introduced to Tom in the last book. He is a cowboy who runs a ranch in Nashville. He is also the head of security for Clay Masterson. The brother and best friend. The relationship we saw between Clay and Tom last book really shows its true colors in this one. It’s nice to read about this with the men. Normally it’s a female who has an amazing best friend. This is different and I like it. They have talks and always have each other’s backs. One of my favorite relationships in the two books! I also enjoyed learning about Tom’s past and seeing how he ended up the way he is now. Very interesting! Tallie Peters was perfect! Not only Tom but she brought an element of danger to the story. She has a colorful past she is trying to out run. She is smart and protective. I liked her character very much.

It was great to see Clay and Harlie in this book. They were involved and helpful to both of the main characters. I liked seeing where they are now. This is full of some great characters that add so much to the story. It don’t pull away too much from Tom and Tallie.

This is my third book by this author. She easily drew me into the lives of these characters. The story flowed nicely and I read it fairly quickly. The characters were fun, flirty and dangerous. While this could be read as a stand alone I HIGHLY recommend reading book 1 (Caught in the Cross Seas). Perfect Title as well! So be ready for the “Spin” in this book!

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

Nothing But Trouble (Irresistible Billionaires #1)Nothing But Trouble by Ashley Bostock
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is the first book I have read from this author and she blew my mind. I love my billionaire men but this talented author exceeded all my expectations with Michael. This is the first book of the irresistible billionaires series and what great start it was. I was hooked on this book right from the beginning. It took me only a few hours to devour this book.

Michael Vilander needs a date for this annual gala he goes to every year. He is one of the top bachelors in his city which finding a date should be easy but not for him. Michael ends up making a fake profile on his own website to see what would happen. He thought it was going nowhere until he sees her. Michael is mesmerized by the beautiful Sophia Baldwin. She is gorgeous and also looks very innocent. He thinks that she will be perfect for him for one night. Michael and Sophia talked to each other almost all night and he is excited about this date. Sophia was in complete shock when she finds out that her date is the handsome CEO of Together. She is having a great time until they run into his ex. Sophia stands up to her but she tells everyone that they are engaged. Michael makes a deal with her for one month but will this turn into something more?

I absolutely loved this book. The storyline has it all; romance, humor, and drama. You will fall in love with these characters right from the start. Michael is a beautiful man that has a good heart but he has walls up. He doesn’t want his heart to get broken again. Sophia is a beautiful woman that has to take care of her sick grandmother. She has a connection to Michael but will he be able to accept all of her? These characters have some steamy scenes that will make your temperature rise. This talented author will keep you at the edge of your seat until the end. I can’t wait to see who this author will write about next.

The Future Memoir of Ann Jones: A Time Travel Romance with a Splash of Magic by Alex Bailey – Review by Liz Vrchota

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

I have read several of Alex Bailey’s other novels before and enjoyed them so when I saw the bright cover for The Future Memoir of Ann Jones: A Time Travel Romance with a Splash of Magic, I was a bit hesitant at the title but intrigued nonetheless. To me I am not usually for the time travel or kitchy magic stuff, and the blurb with the kitting club didn’t sell me any more so. I however am glad that I didn’t discount the entire novel before I even gave it a chance based solely on a cover and a few blurbs. This really dabbled in quite a few things, mystery and drama, a bit of suspense and romance with that sprinkle of promised magic… never too much, muchly appreciated, it kept it cute and quirky not overdone and cheesy. I enjoyed the moments of humor and the knitting club set things up perfectly and made sense in the end. I would even be back for more if there were to be more in the future. I can’t wait to see what else Alex Bailey has in store for us in the future!

Caught in the Spin By Sharleen Scott
4 Stars!!!!

This is the second book in the series and I can say that I wasn’t disappointed. I found that the author did a great job of keeping the flow of the series. The book just kept me glued to the pages. I couldn’t put this book down.

The chemistry between Tallie and Tom is just explosive. I just loved the way that the author developed their relationship. I liked the twist the author put into the story of Tallie’s ex. The way the story plays out makes the whole book realistic. I found the author’s writing style to bring the story to life and I found myself getting caught up in it. I will definitely be reading more from this author in the future.
