Cowboy: Claimed by Various Authors – Review by Emily Walsh

ByMelissa KeirCheryl GormanLeslie P. GarciaBecca TurnerLyssa LayneD’Ann Lindun
My Rating: 5 of 5 stars

Cowboy: Claimed is a boxset by various authors and I will tell you that this boxset was hot, steamy, edgy, funny, sad, heart melty, heart breaking and just downright, awesome.

Oh boy, where do I start. This collection of hot cowboys will get you all hot and bothered in the right places. I have to tell you that this set has six different stories. They aren’t overly long, as this whole set only comes in at 659 pages. In regards to that, and with the stories just over 100 pages each, this was a pretty fast read for me. With that quick pace, and easy writing I was quickly absorbed into not one, but all these steamy reads.

I want to tell you I have a fav, but, every story has a great flow, details were on point and the characters were well developed and fun. Each story has its own voice and tone. Sure they all have the cowboys and the love plots in common, but each author has their own way of deliverance. Making you able to fully separate one story from the next, thus making you able to fully enjoy each story, without feeling like you’ve been reading the same thing over and over.

Overall this boxset was outstanding and I’m going to be looking into each author to see what else they have to offer. So please take my super high recommendation and my stamp of approval that you will get lost in this cowboy world. (I want that to be a thing…..just saying)

Happy Reading

Santa’s Little Helper by Shaan Ranae – Review by Heather Bahm

Santa's Little HelperSanta’s Little Helper by Shaan Ranae
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Santa’s Little Helper, by Shaan Ranae, is a holiday romance novella. This story brings forth the true meaning of Christmas and helping others in its limited pages. This was easy to read, fun and cute, with a little bit of naughty going on at the same time. Shaan Ranae did a great job of adding some fine tuned details to give the story some meat and substance. Jake comes across as a strong, domineering male with a spicy and feisty “helper” included. A quick holiday read not to pass up!

Santa’s Little Helper by Shaan Ranae is a short read but is a fun and quirky little Christmas romance and one I fell in love with. It is told in the male perspective and it had me laughing out loud from start to finish. I would have loved it if the story was longer but it was so much more due to the simplicity of the telling. One sassy red haired helper and one man who learns the true value of family values, all come together to bring you a quick story that will melt your heart.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Santa’s Little Helper by Shaan Ranae is a very short, novella sized, holiday romance.
I don’t want to spoil the story by giving away too much- because the story is so short it would be easy to give away too much. Jacob Laurel (Jake) has taken up the reigns of the family department store from his father upon his retirement. He hopes to make the business the ‘powerhouse’ that it could become.
With Christmas fast approaching, their store is amongst the many that have an ‘in-house’ Santa for families and children to visit in the lead up to Christmas. With people due to arrive to see Santa, there is a bit of an ‘emergency’ when their ‘Santa’ is unable to do the job. They need a replacement , and quickly. But on such short notice that’s impossible. So, it falls on Jake to put on the suit and play Santa. What happens when he meets Santa’s Little Helper? Sparks fly and the fun begins!
This is a sweet, spicy, funny, and enjoyable light-hearted story. I would have preferred a longer version, so the story had time to develop a bit more depth.
I look forward to exploring some of Ms. Ranae’s other work, as this is my first read from her, to see what else she can do.

Thank you, Ms. Ranae!

My Rating: 5 of 5 stars

Hometown Heroes: A Christmas Anthology was a sweet, feel good Christmas read that showcased a variety of different characters and situations, but in the end held the same heart warming message of love and magic.

This collection of short stories was a relaxing feel good read that managed to pull me in, even as the stories changed, the authors changed and of course characters. I found myself loving each story and felt connected. Even as one story ended, I didn’t feel apprehensive about jumping into the next one, no I felt excited. The pacing and placement of each story was done magically and I give props for that.

As each story is short, I’m not going to give you anything that might spoil this warm holiday read. I will tell you that, if you’re looking for a great collection to indulge your Christmas spirit, then this is for you. If you’re looking for an amazing way to spend a quiet afternoon, to lift your heart, then grab this book, even if you’re not into the whole holiday season, still pick up this book. The characters are all well-rounded and have such addicting personalities that you will connect almost instantly. This isn’t just a collection of Christmas stories, it’s a collection of love, finding love, magic, heroes that don’t get the credit they deserve and excellent writing.

So please take my super high recommendation and my stamp of approval; that this anthology will touch your heart and warm your soul.

Happy Reading

ByShaan Ranae
My Rating: 5 of 5 stars

Santa’s Little Helper by Shaan Ranae was a cute, lighthearted, steamy read, that’s like a late-night version of normal hallmark movies.

My first read from this author, I was pulled in by the sassy cover and the raving reviews. This quick Christmas read manages to capture what I love about those cheesy holiday movies, while adding a little bit of a sinister sub plot, a grinch like male MC, a not so sweet love interest and, a sappy feels kicking side plot. It has a magical pull, so much so that you can’t help but get sucked into this taste of Christmas cheer. Not to mention the added bonus of… smut, making this story geared towards a late night read, rather then your watered down hallmark versions that grace our screens.

To save from spoilers because the book is less than 60 pages I’m going to leave you with my super high recommendation and my stamp of approval.

Happy Reading

A Tangy Christmas Kiss by Allyson R. Abbott
4 out of 5 stars
This book was beyond sweet. I love Christmas books. They give me all the warm, fuzzy feelings that make everything seem right in the world. This is book 2 in a four book series by this author. Our main gal, Mel, flies to Spain to house sit for her Aunt at her mom’s request. She is beyond confused as to why her own mother cannot do this, but since she plans on spending her days relaxing on the beach, she goes without hesitation.
After a very funny, series of not so unfortunate events, Mel finds herself at the mercy of the very sexy, non-English speaking Spanish stranger. Once she finally gets to her Aunt’s house, nothing is how she remembers it. Everything has changed and she has a whole lot that she needs to take care of. So much for lounging away her Christmas holiday on the beach.
This is such a sweet holiday romance novel. You can read it all in one sitting. I know I did. This author does such a great job creating a book where the story is vivid and the characters are lovable and unique. Easily a 4 star book.

5 of the 6 authors in this anthology are brand new to me and that’s something I always love about anthologies, I get to experience new authors.

I love a good cowboy book and getting 6 was awesome. As a collection each one had their own unique storyline and although I do have a couple favorites I sincerely enjoyed all of them. A bit predictable all the way through but each story was enjoyable and I also loved that the entire anthology was under 500 pages which made it easier to read in just over a day.

I highly recommend getting comfortable and settling in for these stories, I’ll guarantee there is something for everyone in this collection.

Loved it!!

Only This Tuesday: A Copper Mills Novella by Melissa Keir. This makes a few books I’ve read by Melissa Keir and I really like her writing. This is a really good romance. Its about Tuesday Benson who owns a Food Truck called Tuesday’s Tacos and Mayor Blake Rodgers. Cooper Mills is the town they live in and its an up and coming tourist town. Tuesday’s business adventure has some people up in arms and Blake is not sure what to do. As soon as he meets Tuesday he can’t get her out of his mind but throw in a mean reporter who is trying to take Tuesday down for more than one reason and it’s a big fat mess. Is Tuesday worth all the gossip and will him approving her Food Truck cost him the election? This is a small town romance with gossip, rumors and politics. Such a fun read.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

A Tangy Christmas Kiss is the 2nd book in the Christmas Kiss series from author Allyson R Abbott. Even though these books are a part of series, they can be read as a stand-alone, but personally after enjoying each one of these you would want to read them all. This is my second read from this author and once again I was totally captivated by her writing style, her characters, and the brilliant storyline she has once again created. She has brilliant in depth writing, she makes her reads descriptive and I can’t wait to read some other books from her.

This book is a heart-warming, humour filled and romantic with incredible characters that you can’t help but fall in love with. For this not being an exceptionally long length novel I didn’t feel as though it was rushed, it was well written, easy, romantic read and I was captivated from the beginning. I loved following Mel’s journey in this read, and loved reading her developing connection with Lucas, they had a brilliant connection that I was glad that I got to follow along with!

Each one of these reads, seems to get better and better and I can’t wait to see what happens in the next one. I highly recommend this read to all!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Alive by Courtney Konstantin is the third book in the Sundown Series. This book can be read as a stand-alone.
Everything about this book intrigued me from the moment I read the blurb. It sounded exactly like the kind of book I enjoy and I have to say it certainly did not disappoint in entertaining.
This book is fast paced, intense and was so enthralling it had me on the edge of my seat. There were times when I could feel my heart beating so hard that I couldn’t turn the pages fast enough. I absolutely had to know what was going to happen next.
It really felt like you were there with the characters, fighting alongside them every step of the way.
While this book can be read as a stand-alone – it is the first book I have read by this author – I can see how it would be beneficial to read the previous books in this series. I know I will be going straight back to read them! This was a brilliant book and one I can say I highly recommend.

This is the cutest story! Full of Christmas fun and cheer! There were so many things that made me laugh and smile. The story flowed very nicely and easily kept me entertained. The characters are fun and sexy. Jake made me laugh with his antics and his terror of children…err I mean the little germ carriers. His thoughts on children are they are cute…..from far away. Sam is a is a fiery redhead who also is Santa’s little helper. When problems arise with the stores Santa it’s up to Sam and Jake to get everything running smoothly.

This is a first time author for me and I wouldn’t hesitate to read another. Her characters were colorful and endearing. The story was heartfelt and fun. It’s short but worth it for a little Christmas fun.

I really like paranormal stories and when you add the added bonus of time travel well who could ask for anything more? The author has such a refreshing world that she has created. The story line is unique and the story just grabs you and keeps you glued to the pages.

I really felt myself connected with Emeline. The way she built her life with Samoset and his people really adds to the story. I really liked how she is able to time travel and the drama that is played out in the book as she fights to put the future straight really keep you enticed. This book is such an addicting read and I will most certainly be reading it again as well as more books from this author.

Santa’s Little Helper by Shaan Ranae is a holiday short story that I enjoyed reading. I enjoyed how it includes characters that have a love of family. It also has a steamy side to it as Jake takes notice of “Santa’s Little Helper.” There are plenty of laughable moments in this story and others that are heartwarming. I loved reading about the character of Jake. He is a man that has a business to run and a deal to close. When there is an emergency Santa issue he tries to get someone to put on the red suit. He soon finds himself unable to take his eyes off a certain “helper.” What does the Christmas season have in store for Jake? Read this book to find out. There are a few additional characters that I enjoyed reading about. I found myself wanting to know a little more about them and about Jake. The spirit of the season and some steamy romance makes this a book I would recommend reading.

A Pink Christmas Kiss is a another captivating Christmas romance by Allyson R. Abbott. It is a short second chance romance story that is engaging and entertaining and sweet, well most of it is. Miscommunication and secrets seems to have kept them apart. Can they find a way to communicate honestly and find what was once lost?

Billie wanted so much more, but what she found was that the grass is definitely not greener on the other side. Finally coming home means she has to face her past and hope against hope that her past is happy to see her.

Looking for a little Christmas romance then A Pink Christmas Kiss is a great start.

Hometown Heroes: A Christmas Anthology is a wonderful set of stories that I loved reading. Having stories that are set around Christmas and then adding in some romance gives you that heartwarming feeling that the season is all about. There is no doubting the magic of the season as you read each story. The woman in these tales are fiery, independent, and strong. While the stories are not long they have enough emotion in them that I found myself with misty eyes and a smile on my face. I found that these stories stayed with me and I thought about them even after I had finished the anthology. Some are set in the past and others are in the present day. All make a lasting impression on your soul. I have read stories by some of the authors and enjoyed reading stories by them again. I also have discovered new authors and look forward to reading more of their writing. This is a wonderful group of stories that have amazing characters. Highly recommended.

The story Alive (Sundown Series Book 3) by Courtney Konstantin is a thrilling book that I loved reading. It is set in a post-apocalyptic world where those who become infected with a plague turn into flesh-eating zombies. This story had me on the edge of my seat wondering what was going to happen next. It is suspenseful and at times I had to remind myself to breathe. I loved reading about the characters of Rafe and Charlie. They both work at a facility where secret experiments are being conducted. A plague has started to turn anyone it infects and they find themselves in a world that has been turned upside-down and in chaos. They also find themselves pursued by mercenaries. Will Rafe and Charlie be able to survive both the zombies and those who are hunting them down? Read this book to find out. This story does an amazing job in making you feel like you are right there with the characters and experiencing what they do. I could feel the fear that they have when facing those who are infected. Charlie is a beautiful, smart, and strong woman. She is driven to prove that she can be an equal partner to Rafe, not just a responsibility. Rafe is a man that is determined to keep alive and also protect Charlie. He is someone who is caring and will defend himself and others. There are other additional characters that are introduced in the story and I enjoyed reading about the part that they play and their interactions with Charlie and Rafe. I absolutely love post-apocalyptic tales of survival and this book is an example of why. It is well-written and you won’t want to put it down until you read the last page. Highly recommended.

Hometown Heroes: A Christmas Anthology is a collection of five short stories by six wonderfully talented authors. These authors all have different styles and approaches to writing; all are unique and individual- but each story uses the same theme as their inspiration for writing their contribution to this anthology- the common thread running through each of the stories celebrates everyday heroes. Whether their heroism is gained through devotion, or leaving behind the safe and familiar in the hope of adventure and challenge, or saving a life by grabbing them from the clutches of death, or by being a war hero, or being someone who fights for what they believe in, or having the courage to leave a painful past behind in order to embrace the future- we meet a variety of leading characters, each one a hero in their own right and are unique to their storyline. All the stories are set around Christmas, and are packed full of Christmas spirit.

The Anthology contains:

-Courtship and Courage By: Carrie Dalby
-When Time Stood Still By: Chelsi Arnold and J.D Boudreaux
-Hobbes House Noel By: C.J Petterson
-Talking in Code By: E.A Hale
-Safe Haven By: Jolie St. Amant

All the stories are so engaging and believable- with wonderfully written plots, and well developed characters. I have read books by several of these talented authors before- but three of the authors were new to me… so I was excited to not only read the work of the authors I knew and loved, but also get an introduction to some authors who are new to me.
So, settle down for some wonderful reading, which will entice you with heartfelt romance, some suspense, a bit of mystery, history, some paranormal, action, drama, adventure, and more. There is something here for everyone!
I really recommend this Anthology- you won’t regret buying it! It is worth every cent of the purchase price- and by purchasing this anthology you will be helping out a charity in the process, as a portion of the proceeds will be donated to Cajun Navy Relief! #Win-Win!

Thank you to all the contributing authors!

Alive is the third thrilling instalment in the Sundown Series by Courtney Konstantin. This is a brilliant zombie, sci-fi, post-apocalyptic story with heart pounding action, drama, danger, government experiments, a plague, and a fight for survival. I am not kidding when I say I was on the edge of my seat for the majority of this story. The book is intense- and Ms. Konstantin took me on an adventure I won’t soon forget. There are a LOT of Zombie/apocalyptic stories that have made the rounds over the past few years, but this one is an original take on Zombie lore- easily pulling me in and keeping so totally engrossed that I lost all sense of time and place. I was in a page-flipping frenzy, desperately needing to know what was on the next page, and in store for the characters. Completely absorbed by the story, I finished it in one sitting. I am still thinking about it several hours later! Now that’s a sign of a great story and a superb author!
Ms. Konstantin has a vividly descriptive style that brought every scene to life. I was right there, in amongst the action, fighting for survival! The story is so gripping, gruesome, and disturbing- but at the same time there is a depth to the story and the multi-dimensional characters, that really sets this book apart from others in the same genre.
This is my first read from Ms. Konstantin- and even though this could be read as a standalone, it is abundantly clear that there is so much more to know, and that has made me even more intrigued by this fantastic story/series. I will definitely be going back to read the first two books, as well!
Honestly, if you love a thrilling read, Zombie/apocalyptic/survival stories with a gripping, well-written plot, and incredibly interesting characters- then this book should on your TBR! It’s a definite ‘must read’!
Addictive reading! Can’t wait for more!

Thank you, Ms. Konstantin!

This is not my usual genre of reads but I have to say after the first chapter this book did hold my interest and for the most part had me on the edge of my seat wanting to know what was or wasn’t going to happen. I also think I need to go get books one and two, so I know the whole story. What plans do you make when doomsday has arrived? Rafe and Charlie must now make these plans and hope they survive. The world as the humans now know it must fight against flesh eating zombies, where only the strongest would survive. Rafe and Charlie however not only had the flesh-eating zombies to worry about but also the Government radicals to take into account. The Government Radicals were after everyone who worked at Rafes family’s facility and that included Charlie and Rafe. Will Rafe and Charlie survive both the Zombies and the Radicals?

When I picked up my first Eastern Shore Swingers novel I wasn’t sure what to expect as the subject content was somewhat new to me and outside of my comfort zone. I had read Phoebe Alexander’s writing in the past so I decided to give the series a chance and I couldn’t be happier that I did. The books within this box set are honestly some of the most entertaining, enjoyable and even emotional reads I have read in 2018. I didn’t read them all in sequential order as they are still great as stand alone books. Each story is comprised of the most relatable, honest and raw characters with their own unique past and present. I could go on forever! Do yourself a favor and grab this box set so that you have all the books in one place after you’ve been hooked by the first.

Cowboy: Claimed by Melissa Keir (Author), Cheryl Gorman (Author), Leslie P. Garcia (Author), Becca Turner (Author), Lyssa Layne (Author), D’Ann Lindun (Author). I loved this box set. All of the stories were so good. One of my favorites was Snow Bird Springs: Troy by Cheryl Gorman. Its the story of Alex Kent, a famous artist out of Chicago who has recently suffered a horrible tragedy. She moves to Snow Bird Springs Colorado to try to get her “mojo” back, since the tragedy she hasn’t painted anything. She meets Troy Slade shortly upon arriving and they hit if off instantly. Will Snow Bird Springs help her trust again or will she go back to Chicago still lost and hurting. Also Upstaging The Cowboy by Leslie P. Garcia was a sweet read. It’s the story of Stone Winters, a Marine who comes home and Price Adams, a film star. When the two meet they don’t think they can trust one another. Risking hurt is not what either of them signed up for. This is a Set full of sweet, Cowboy stories. I read them all and loved them all.

Truly Unfortunate by C. A. King – Review by Cindy Mayberry

Truly Unfortunate (Welcome To Knollville Book 1)Truly Unfortunate by C.A. King
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Truly Unfortunate
Welcome to Knollville
Book 1
C. A. King
☆☆☆☆☆
This is a full length novel that includes a paranormal, psychological murder mystery.

Truly has lost her memory of all that happened as a child. She is under Doctors care and he is trying to help her remember. The nightmares are speaking to her and she just does not understand who or why. She works 3 jobs, and still can’t seem to make ends meet. Not to mention the abuse she has to put up with is getting the best of her.

Jeff is a detective, his goal is to find out about the death of a classmate at the young age of 9. Now more “accidents“ are happening. Following the fortunes the bodies are found with. Are they accidents or murder? Who is involved?

C. A. King has built this story up and kept me reading. The characters are well suited for their parts in this book. The suspense is so twisted,it even had me second guessing what is really happening. I love a story that keeps me drawn in. This will definitely make you want more. I’m looking forward to see where the next book takes us. Well Done C. A. King!

A Pink Christmas Kiss by Allyson R. Abbott – Review by Bobbi Wagner

A Pink Christmas KissA Pink Christmas Kiss by Allyson R. Abbott
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is a short heartwarming Christmas story. I enjoyed how I was pulled right in and made me feel as if I was right there in the story. This is a story about Billie. Five years ago she left her small town behind along with her family and her ex but now she is back. Will she get a second chance with him? I loved their banter back and forth but yet they have great chemistry together. They are strong characters that kept me reading until the end. I highly recommend reading this Christmas story.

Alive (Sundown Series Book 3) by Courtney Konstantin – Review by Bobbi Wagner

Alive (Sundown Series Book 3)Alive by Courtney Konstantin
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is a post-apocalyptic suspense thriller that left me sitting on the edge of my seat. I will be checking out other books by this author. This is a story about survival, zombies, and has a science fiction feel to it. It is a story that is easy flowing and the action just kept coming. Rafe and Charlie work in at a facility where Government experiments are done but now someone is out to silence anyone working there. I highly recommend reading this book to see who survives
