Shadow’s Keep by Meghan O’Flynn
4 Stars

This is the first book that I have read from this author. It is a dark, twisted thriller. It shows the measures people will take to protect the ones they love. The author did an amazing job of keeping you constantly on your toes trying to figure out who the killer is. When you think you have figured it out, you realize that you’re wrong. Something happens that throws you for a loop.

The story takes place in the small town of Graybel, Mississippi. A place where everyone knows everyone and nothing really happens until Deputy Sheriff William Shannahan finds a dead child in the woods. It looks like a dog attack but William has a gnawing in his gut telling him otherwise. The story takes off from there and has so many twists and turns, it will have your head spinning.

The story was detailed and compelling. The author did a fantastic job of hiding clues in plain sight. You only realize them when you finish the book. What a crazy ending! The images I have in my head of those final scenes are the stuff of nightmares. Ms. O’Flynn did an excellent job. I won’t say anything else because I don’t want to ruin the story. I did get a little frustrated with William’s self doubt and constant Elliot Stadler references. It has been a long time that I have read a book in this genre and really enjoyed it. I highly recommend reading this book and I will be looking for other books from this author.

Climbing The Walls by Sacha T. Y. Fortuné, Hart & Cole Book 1

5-stars

What an emotional rollercoaster! This novel hooked me in and I could not stop reading the drama unfolding between Nicole and Kris. I really felt that their struggles allowed their relationship to grow and for their characters to personally grow as well. I definitely was not a fan of Nicole at first but as the story progressed she grew on me. She became my favorite character. I also loved Khai and Nikki. They were precious and I hated seeing them hurt with some of the drama that unfolds in this book. This book was definitely something different for me. I haven’t ever read something that focused so much on the aspects of a couples crazy marriage. Great read!

Nite Fire: Flash Point by C.L. Schneider ~ Review by Liz Vrchota

Flash Point (Nite Fire, #1)Flash Point by C.L. Schneider
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Flashpoint is the first of the Nite Fire Series books from C.L. Schneider. I have not had a chance to read anything from C.L. Schneider before and so this was a new foray into her worlds and I was pretty impressed. She has a knack for scene building. I often felt as if I could say I was there myself. If I almost experienced first hand the adventures that Dahlia faced along her journey. This kept me on my toes and intrigued when I was a bit dragging in the story line area. Don’t get me wrong, this is a good novel, with a strong storyline. I just had a difficult time keeping everything in order at times and felt as if it was a bit much going on for me in one book. Otherwise, I really enjoyed it and look forward to seeing what the other books bring in the series, as well as if they will be a bit more stretched out. I feel as if Schneider can take as long as she wants with this series. Its that great, I’d rather have more books spread out than complicated stuffed books.

Meanwhile in Flashpoint we meet and learn all about Dahlia Nite. She herself is a shapeshifting assassin and she is currently in a prickly situation. Hiding from people who want her dead she is in the human realm and hopping from town to town using her special skills to protect the people the way she knows how. There are murders and secrets, mysteries and monsters, magical realms and details that will be sure to haunt your thoughts long after you finish the last page. I can’t begin to tell you how dimensional this story gets. So strap in and prepare for quite the ride. I can’t wait to see what will come next in book two, Chain Reaction! Thanks so much for a great escape Ms. Schneider!

By Sylvie Stewart
Rated 5 stars

How enjoyable is this story!! I loved it! The witty banter, the secret longing and the sexy beard…all good reasons to devour this book! Olivia is a hoot! She sure has a mouth on her! She cracked me up at the games! Brett seems like not the type of guy she would go for. His outward appearance might have people shy away or look down on him. But I side he is a golden boy! He has this great big heart. We get to see and spend some time with Gavin and Emerson. They really help the story move forward as does Haley, who is Olivia’s best friend.

This isn’t my first book by this author. I have read all of the others in this series. They all have a little fun, some sexy men and strong sassy women. I love reading this series and look forward to the next one!!

Written in the Stars (Fallen Eagles MC Series Book 2) By T. Birmingham. This book is just as amazing as book one. I was so excited to read this story after finding this series. Right from the get go I was completely drawn into the story and couldn’t put it down until the end. There’s some twists and turns that had me on the edge of my seat trying to guess what’s coming next. The author knows how to draw readers in and keep them completely hooked. The main characters have such chemistry and are so connectable you feel right there with them. The suspense had me on a roller coaster ride of different emotions. I love the characters the author creates. I would recommend reading these in order just to really set everything up. I’m giving this book a five star review and highly recommend it.

A Talent for Trouble (Bad Boys of Space #1)
By Landra Graf
Rated 5 stars

I love, love, loved this story! It is full of action and suspense. As well as a relationship full of lust, snark and mutual distrust. I loved each of these characters from the first moment we met them. Toni is such a strong female lead! She kept me on my toes but never disappointed me. She is not afraid to get her hands dirty and has a loyal following. Emilio is trying to turn his life around when everything goes wrong. He is arrogant and thinks his good looks, suave personality and thinking one-step ahead can get him out of anything. When these two first meet?? It’s like hot and cold. They each have a past holding them back from a possible future. Will they be able to overcome to meet in the middle?

I loved this storyline! Bootleggers, drug/gun runners and drug cartels? Spaceships, AI’s, Earth and other planets?? All of that makes this an action-packed story that I couldn’t put down. I couldn’t wait to find out what was going to happen next and how were they going to get out of the next mess. Many times I rooted for Emilio or Toni but then i was distraught Over something that happened and changed my loyalty to the opposite. There are a bunch of rag-tag dysfunctional secondary characters that I enjoyed immensely. They made the MC’s more rounded and added some fun to the story. I would love to read some more about them and possibly have them get their own stories.

This is a first time author for me. I can’t wait to read more in this series and are eagerly awaiting the next one!

Tapped (The Night Moves Book 3) by Tarrah Anders ~ Review by Liz Vrchota

TappedTapped by Tarrah Anders
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

First, I should preface this review with my confession that I may be a bit biased with Tarrah Anders. She just happens to be one of my top five fave contemporary romance authors. So it is automatic for me to one-click anything that she puts out, quite often before I even know what the book is going to be about. I don’t care, I know whatever adventure awaits within those pages will be a great one. Tapped is nothing short of great either.

Book three, and the conclusion, of The Night Moves series this still can be read as a complete standalone novel. You will want to go back and catch the rest of the gang’s stories though as they are equally fantastic! We get the story of Janae and Kai. Theirs is one full of second chances and new beginnings. Nothing really ever comes easy and that is what makes the novels glorious to get lost in. I especially enjoy how I felt as if I was vacationing in Las Vegas the entire time I was reading Tapped. All the lights, glitz and glam, and the sultry steam that goes with it was excluded in the writing so well. My only complaint with this was that it ended! I can’t wait to see what will come next from Tarrah Anders! Thanks so much for this amazing read!

Written in the Stars (Fallen Eagles MC Book 2) by T. Birmingham
5 out of 5 stars
Written in the stars is the second book in the Fallen Eagles MC written by Ms. Birmingham and my second read by this author. The characters are well written and I love how real this author made them real. The plot was great even if a little sad with few little twists.
Davis “Eagle” Landon has given up a lot for his country an eye, a leg, time with his kids. He’s retired the owner of several businesses and the President of the Golden Trail, PA Veteran MC, Fallen Eagles, this former Texan has his roots firmly planted. He’s ready to settle down again, and only one woman will do.
Winter is different she is sensitive and a bit of a loner. She is quiet and often sarcastic. She’s also the owner of the best (and only) salon in town. As the youngest Markham, she’s seen firsthand the many struggles her older sisters have endured, and as much as the prospect scares her, she’s ready for a love that’s all her own. And, well… She might look like a fairytale to Eagle, but Winter has always preferred her men a little rough around the edges.
Winter has a darker history than anyone realizes, and with a serial murderer/rapist who doesn’t discriminate between males or females terrorizing the Philadelphia area, no one is safe.
Will Eagle find the serial murderer/rapist before he or she grabs Winter? Will they find their other half in each other? I really enjoyed this story and I hope the next installment is about Hammond and Autumn…

Full Glasses and Burju Shoes by Blake Blessing is a book that will have you turning the pages in record time.
This is a new author to me and I wasn’t sure what to expect at all when I read the description. The book sounded good and like something I would enjoy. And I have to say I did really enjoy this authors writing style. The hook had an easy flow about it and the story effortlessly progressed.
I also really liked how the characters were opposites in most ways. Everything about them suggested they shouldn’t work together and yet they did. I liked how convincing their story was. The whole story was easy to read and enjoyable. One I would definitely recommend trying.

4 Stars!!!!

This is quite a refreshing read for me. I like how the author draws the characters together and how the past is such a major influence to the story. The book was so relatable and realistic. The book holds the reader’s interest and draws you into the world that is created.

Elena and West have such a magnetic chemistry that you can feel from the first time they see one another again after all the years they were apart. The reader can sense the tension and feel all the emotions that Elena goes through. I found myself routing for her and West. I like how the tension and drama is drawn out and there isn’t a quick end to the book. I really enjoyed how the author was able to draw it out and keep the reader engaged. I definitely will read more from this author in the future.

Written in the Stars (Fallen Eagles MC Book 2)Written in the Stars by T. Birmingham
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Written in the Stars ​(Fallen Eagles MC Book 2) by​ T. Birmingham​ ​is a second chance romance story about a MC that is made up of veterans. It is the second book in the series and I advise that you read the first book Terrible Beauty so you get a better understanding of the characters and their world. This book is focused on the President of the MC and his second chance at love but there is also something much darker and sinister going on in the small town that sees time running out for them before things get much worse. There is so much going on and a lot of players that you are never bored.

This story will leave you with your emotions on a roller coaster ride, there is heartache and sorrow but it is also heart warming and yes there will be tears but there is also laughter. The story had me engrossed to the very end. T. Birmingham is a great storyteller and the characters are easily lovable with their flaws, their quirks and all their insecurities that you can not help but fall in love with them.   Bring on the next story

A Talent for Trouble (Bad Boys of Space Book 1)
By: Landra Graf
5 out of 5 stars

The story A Talent for Trouble (Bad Boys of Space Book 1) by Landra Graf is a science fiction/romance book. It has action, adventure, romance, and danger. One reason that I enjoyed the story so much was reading about the characters of Emilio Morales and Antonia “Toni” Smith. They are both independent and strong-willed. They are also attracted to one another. Situations occur and these two find themselves working together. This causes tension and the bantering that goes back and forth between them can range from arguing to flirting. Plans are made and fall apart. Will these two achieve the future that they are working so hard to secure? Will they be able to keep from falling for one another? What does the future hold for Emilio and Antonia? Read this book to find out. I also enjoyed reading about many of the secondary characters in the story and how they interact with Emilio and Antonia. There is a feeling of comradery, friendship, and family that is felt. There are also those characters who are selfish and are only out for themselves. Emilio and Antonia are characters that I grew to care about what happens to them and wanted them to find success and happiness. This story had me at times wondering what was going to happen next and how it was all going to end. There are also some steamy moments that make the temperature in the room rise. Don’t miss out on a story that will keep you glued to the pages until you have read the last one.

This wonderful collection of romance novels couldn’t be a better deal! When I saw that a bunch of my favorite authors had come together with some new ones to bring 23 stories in one complete package, I had no problem one-clicking it. I am so glad that I got it just as the weather started getting chilly too, because these pages warmed my heart and my kindle many a cold night. I had the pleasure of reading some favorites like, Tamara Ferguson, Allyson R. Abbott and, Suzanne Jenkins. However, one of the best parts of this collection is that there were so many new authors that I found and am now such a huge fan of! Such as Harper Kincaid, author of my favorite book in the anthology, ‘Running Through Wonderland.’ I can’t wait to go back and re-read some of these gems. I would love to leave a big review on each of these fantastic stories but that would be just too much because I would brag all day! For the goods you will just have to take my word for it and snag a copy for yourself. You will be finding all of these great stories and their authors inside!

Finding Juniper (Smoke Series Book 3)Finding Juniper by Sadia Ash
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Finding Juniper by Sadia Ash is the third book in the Juniper series. This is not a standalone read because it picks up where the last book left off. I am so excited to find out what happens with Juniper and Kyle. I do not want to give anything away but if you loved the rest of the series you won’t be let down. Juniper and Kyle are still different people and very stubborn and hard headed. The writing and story are wonderful and I fell into the book and did not want to put it down.
One of the things I love about this series is the fact that Juniper is a history geek and Kyle is a tech geek. Though they are different they are both very intelligent and see the world differently. The level of detail and description allows you to form a story easily in your head. I look forward to reading more in the future from Sadia Ash.

Four Stars

What a scary situation Harlie was caught in. To be so young and alone. With no one to guide you or protect you. Harlie is very brave to have escaped he past. The story was sweet and fun but also a little dark. I feel like Destiny puts us where we need to be and anything that comes along is meant to be. That our fate is affected by the choices we make. Clay is the perfect blend of a man. He has all the qualities and looks that most women crave. I’m a suck a for a southern drawl. Clay was down to earth and just wow. I think that him and Harlie go together perfectly. The author did a great job writing this story. It was presented perfectly and not rushed. The characters develop well and you see them grow throughout the story.

By: Sharleen Scott
My Rating: 5 of 5 stars

Caught in Cross Seas (The Caught Series Book #1) by Sharleen Scott was an addicting read that had me hooked from start to finish.

Not my first read by this author or in this series, I actually read the last book first, but they can be read as standalones. Though there were some spoilers for this book, it wasn’t enough to ruin this amazing read. It actually made me what to read the whole series, but because of spoilers and the linear timeline, I do highly suggest reading this series in order.

This book was something, I don’t even know where to start. I can tell you that I can’t find anything that bothered me, nothing negative, and I can tell you that it’s not often I’m lost for words. I was hooked on every word, every sentence and every page. Clay and Harlie were a joy to read about, I mean sure, there were misunderstandings, ups, downs and conflict. But at the same time, all that chaos made them real, and down to earth. But man oh man, there are parts that will have you on the edge of your seat and have you holding your breath. I was in almost tears at the end. The emotions that both Clay and Harlie displayed and expressed, got me right in the feels. I can’t tell you the scene, cause major spoilers, but hell, that ending, my god, my heart was on the floor.

There is so much going on this book, and for a story to have such a multi connecting plot and intertwined side plots, you think things would get muddled. No, this book was as close to perfection as it could get. No plot holes, from the mystery, clues, broken souls, second chances, and a good old showdown, everything was tied up and clean. Info wasn’t hoarded till the end, it was spaced out and given at the right times. Letting us get to know the characters, as they got to know each other. Things weren’t dumbed down, or over complicated, and that real pull made this story not only original and unique, it made it, highly enjoyable, compelling and stemulating.

I have so many things I want to gush about, the words just want to pour out of me. But to save you from my rambles and spoilers; I’m going to leave you here, with my crazy, super high recommendation, and my golden stamp of approval.

P.S. You need this book on your life!

Happy Reading

1/8 hearts of a hunk anthology:
A Kiss Under A Blue Christmas Moon (Daydreams and Dragonflies 4) written by Tamara Ferguson. This is a cute short story that has some familiar people and places if you have read any of Tamara Fergusons Two Hearts Wounded Warrior Series. Dragonfly Pointe is a magical place and is said to help along true love, Mia and Noah are no different than anyone else who has experienced true love at Dragonfly Pointe. Mia and Noah are cute characters and you watch them quickly grow up from high school strangers to friends to lovers to strangers again. Until Noah comes home and Mia comes home, and Dragonfly Pointe is not letting them get away again. I love the idea and stories behind Dragonfly Pointe and all the stories this one included. It’s a sweet story that had some heartbreak, anger and loss and of course love.
Foxxy Christmas written by Allyson R Abbott this story has it’s ups and downs as you go you feel bad for Foxxy and her life. Then as the story goes you realize you feel bad for the people who have wronged her because she’s a lot stronger than anyone gave her credit for, including herself, until she feels like she has nothing and no one left. So why not make a new life for herself. I liked Foxxy a lot as a character she had her moments of weakness but we all do. Then there’s Richard and Jerry, they are quite the pair with their story and how they randomly show up in Foxxys life. Overall the story was well written, it flowed good and I enjoyed it.

A Terrible Beauty (Fallen Eagles MC Book 1)A Terrible Beauty by T. Birmingham
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

A Terrible Beauty was a good 4 star read and book one in the Fallen Eagles MC series.

We skip from past to present in some scenes as Kit remembers things. Kit chose to serve her country ten years ago, something terrible happened that caused her to come home a different person.She was no longer Summer she was Kit, she also pushed away the one man that had her heart, Lee. She is now a highly respected member of the Fallen Eagles MC.

Lee also served in the war and had his own issues here and there. His biggest was not understanding the change in the love of his life, not having her confide in him and talk to him, feeling like she’s a million miles away.

That feeling of helplessness when you were supposed to be a protector was the worst.

When a blackmailer starts sending threatening notes to people, Kit realizes it’s time to tell everyone what happened. She’s a fighter and refuses to allow anyone to threaten her.

What will happen when the truth is revealed? Will she lose Lee forever? Who is the blackmailer?

There is so much more to this good read. The secrets revealed were shocking and heartbreaking. Kit also suffers from PTSD along with some of the others from her group. There are also some scenes that could cause triggers for some. This author pulled me right in with her writing and I had some teary eyed moments. I look forward to reading more from her.

A Terrible Beauty is a Novella starting the Fallen Eagles MC Series. I thought the book was well written. The author is a new author to me. I haven’t read many books in this genre but, I didn’t dislike the book. It kept me entertained for the most part.

There were quite a few characters in the Novella. There’s the Markham sisters who are Winter, Spring, Summer and Fall. Summer went to war and experienced something tragic. She came home and her new name is Kit. She doesn’t let anyone call her Summer anymore. She has been home 10 years and has kept secrets that whole time from the 30 hours of captivity. Now her past has come back to haunt her. How will her family and Lee handle the secrets when they are exposed?

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

First off, if you haven’t read the first books, what are you doing? They’re fantastic.
Secondly, this book pulls no punches. You are immediately hit with two tragedies and not a lot of time to comprehend them before being thrown forward in time and into the next huge piece of plot. So get yourself a cup of coffee and strap in.
Hannah is a Russian sleeper agent who has been strategically placed within the Pentagon. Fate drags her kicking and screaming back into a situation with her ex, a former Navy SEAL. Jack still clearly has feelings for Hannah which doesn’t make him a very good operative but he’s only human. Hannah will let absolutely nothing get in the way of her mission, whether it be the one she has been assigned, or the one she promised herself and her sister she would complete.
The third installation of the Gray Ghost Novels is non stop action. Along with the in depth descriptions of danger and passion, this is no surprise to anyone who has read Broken Circle, Eye of the Storm and/or the prequel Moments That Define Us. Readers will enjoy deception, danger, betrayal, harrowing survival, and pure lust within this amazing series.

Caught in Cross Seas, by Sharleen Scott, is the first book in the Caught Series. This romantic suspense was well written with amazing characters. The mystery, suspense, drama, chemistry, regrets, want/desire were all there. The author created a story with a full cast keeping you guessing who is guilty versus innocent, who is lying versus being forthcoming. The reader is kept engaged in the story while the author continues to weave the tale bringing the reader to the climax of the story wondering how it’s all going to finish. Harlie and Clay were excellently paired and I really enjoyed the push/pull dynamic of them. This is a story/series that I highly recommend.

And it’s about Beauty. This story seemed to have many hidden meanings, which made the story interesting to read. It is the first of the series, so I can’t wait to read about the other characters. This is the first book I have read by T. Birmingham and won’t be the last as I enjoyed this story.

Player (21st Century Courtesan Book 1)
By Pamela Dumond

Ok so I didn’t know what I was getting into when I started to read this book. Let me tell you it wasn’t long before I couldn’t put the book down. What we have here is not your normal romance book, which was a nice break away from our everyday romance stories. So, we have Evie who is a teacher, Dylan who is the son of a church leader who has left the church. Evie has most of her life looked after her mom who suffers from mental health issues and her younger sister. But now with mounting bills, Evie decided she needs to earn extra money. One of her friends suggests that she becomes an escort, at first, she says no but now she is buried under a mass of bills and decides to join her friend at Ma Maison Agency. Evie had no idea that she would be such a good escort. Enter Dylan one of the agencies clients. There was an instant spark between Evie and Dylan but was falling in love with him in her plans? Dylan was not having any luck at the poker tables and is hoping Evie who he sees as his lucky charm will change things at the tables for him. What I liked about this book was that the story just flowed and that’s what made it an easy and enjoyable read. If book one is this good, I think we are in for a good series.

Alive (Sundown Series Book 3)
By Courtney Konstantin
Rated 5 stars!!!!

Wow! Wow! Wow! I loved this story for so many reasons! This book is written so well. It’s smooth and has such a nice flow to it. The story is action packed and highly addictive! It held me captivated and I couldn’t put it down until I finished it. Many times while reading I find myself saying or thinking “No! Don’t go back to town!” Or “Stay away from there!” But sadly they didn’t listen to me. Each of the characters has a nice quality about them. Whether it be the main one, a secondary or even the dog. They were all well thought out and beautifully done. Even the relationships between the characters is done superbly.

You know the saying “ I love it when a story comes together”? This one is all that! From the writing, to the characters, to the story, they all blend so nicely for a great finished product. This is a first time author for me. I will gladly check out her other books and I will be reading the first two in this series! I am now interested in the girls stories and wondering where the author will take this story next. I highly recommend this book.

PS Great cover!

Shadow's Keep: A NovelShadow’s Keep: A Novel by Meghan O’Flynn
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Shadows Keep by Meghan O’Flynn is an exciting and fast paced novel that will keep you on the edge of your seat the entire way through!
Having read books by Meghan O’Flynn before I knew I was in for a seriously good ride anyway. And the blurb to this book sounded better, in my opinion, than any of her others and it absolutely did not disappoint.
More than once I found myself sitting there with my heart pounding, hanging off the edge of my seat, hardly daring to read what would happen next. There was never a moment you could be bored with this book. It takes you on such a rollercoaster ride. The twists and turns will leave you gasping for breath. This book is well written with in depth and complex characters. For anyone that likes this type of book Shadow’s Keep is an absolute yay read.

Player (21st Century Courtesan #1)Player by Pamela DuMond
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

PLAYER by Pamela DuMond is the first book in the 21st Century Courtesan series. The story follows Evie who works as a kindergarten teacher by day and an escort at night. I was not sure what to think before I started the book but was pleasantly surprised. Evie is a well developed character who has good reasons for the second job she holds. She has standards and is not a common prostitute. She meets Dylan, who she is attending poker events with as a lucky charm. The two have an irresistible pull towards each other. Their relationship causes Evie to reevaluate her treatment of her clients. I do not want to give too much away so I will stop with describing the story.
The characters are well written and I enjoyed the various settings. It was an interesting take on the competitive poker games. We all see what happens on television but behind the scenes is different. I liked that there was a bit of suspense thrown in as well. The story kept me involved and curious as to what would happen with the characters. I look forward to reading more from this author in the future.

4 Stars!!!!

Wow yet again another new author and another gripping book. I wasn’t sure what to expect when I started reading this book but I was pleasantly surprised. I found the author’s writing style to be refreshing and engaging. The book just really gets you hooked from the first page.

The complexity of the relationship between Lucy and Alexander is played out so well through this book. To read the drama as it unfolds in the book around these two keeps you at the edge of your seat. I really found myself by the end of the book routing for Alexander even though he is a very complex soul one cannot help but want him to get his happy ever after. I must admit that even with his complex past and the demons he seems to be battling he really won me over. I really cannot wait to read the next book in this series to see how the plot unfolds.
