Distant Memory (The Solum Series Book 3)
By Colleen S. Myers
Rated 5 stars

I am so glad to be reading this third book. I can not even explain my feelings after finishing. Happy, Sad, frustrated? Well a bit of all three. The story picks up where the last one left off. Finn has been taken and Beta (Elizabeth) is determined to find him. Her relationship with Marin is still a bit rocky and they each are dealing with trust issues.

This story is full of action! Pretty much from the beginning. It’s also full of twists and turns. Sometimes I wasn’t sure which way I wanted to story to go. I can only imagine poor Elizabeth (Beta) having to make these decisions. I easily became involved in the characters and the story. I had a hard time putting this down. Reading this felt like coming home.

There are a ton a characters. We met many of the new ones in the last book. We are able to revisit with many of them here. While they are all actively involved they don’t Steal the story away from the main characters. I enjoyed all of these characters immensely
(Even Xade). Getting to know them and basically becoming involved in their lives I will miss hanging out with them. Wondering what adventure Beta (Elizabeth) is going to go on next. So rereading is what will be on board for this series.

I kinda felt at loose ends when finishing. So I’m not sure if there will be another in the series or not. I am very glad I found this series and highly recommend it to any science fiction readers with a side of romance.

Getting the Goods
By Elizabeth Perry
Rated 5 stars!!

OMG! This story! It’s so freaking good! I could NOT put this book down! Whether its from the shocking things that come out of Gabrielle’s mouth or the sexy sweet Conner. I really never know what is going to happen next. I enjoyed the love, friendship, fun times and desperation that filled this book. I really want to share scenes but I don’t want to give anything away! Just read it!

Conner and Gabrielle were the best main characters. Conner is arrogant and sexy and my favorite. Gabrielle is snarky and accident prone, on a mission and my favorite. Be prepared to laugh and be in shock with your mouth hanging open when around these two or just Gabriella. Now I am not usually a fan of men calling women “baby or babe,” but coming out of Conners mouth it doesn’t sound degrading at all. He uses it as a definite term of endearment. When he says “Babes”….I just get a mushy inside.

Gabriella and her best friend, Maria are completely over the top sometimes but it all fits together perfectly. They made me laugh and *snort* a few times. They have a back and forth banter that i couldn’t stop smiling over. They are friends til the end and all the times in between.

Conner in the Epilogue….OMG! This is why I love this man! He is strong, sexy and confident…except over one thing. He just melts my heart! That is one of the best epilogues I have read in a while!

This is my first book by this author. I am impressed and will be watching for future books by her. The story…..unpredictable. The characters….unpredictable. See a theme here? This is an amazing book that will be re-read for years to come! Thank you it’s Outstanding!

Distant Memory: She remembered everything (Solum Series Book 3)
By: Colleen S. Myers
5 out of 5 stars

The story Distant Memory: She remembered everything (Solum Series Book 3) by Colleen S. Myers is a fantasy/science fiction book. It is one that I have been looking forward to reading. This is a series that I have enjoyed since the first book. I didn’t want to put this story down until I had read the final page. I loved reading about Elizabeth “Beta” Camden. Beta is a character that you only grow to love with each chapter of each book that you read. She is strong, independent, and stubborn. She is also smart and resourceful. This is a story that I went into having a lot of questions and wondering if all of them would be answered. It is a book that had me turning pages in order to find out what happens next and if everyone is standing in the end. There is action and danger around every corner and I was always wondering who can really be trusted. The story has truths that are revealed and plans put into motion. Most of the additional characters are ones brought forward from the first two books along with some new ones. I enjoyed reading about everyone’s part that they play and their interactions with Beta. This is a wonderfully written story and series. Highly recommended reading.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

 

This is the first book that I have read by this author so obviously I read this as a standalone – I definitely think I would have benefited from reading the previous books in the series however I quickly read through the reviews so I kind of had an idea of what had happened previously. I enjoyed the story, I thought the characters were complex which meant I had to work a little harder to understand them, so it wasn’t a particularly easy read but I kind of liked that about the book. There were some good plot twists that definitely meant that I was constantly guessing what was going to happen next. The author’s writing was rich and detailed and I could really feel those emotional times coming across well. Whilst I didn’t connect with the characters, Steel and Nicole, as much as I thought I would or wanted to I did enjoy reading their story. I would definitely like to read more from this author and this series again in the future.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The Confectioner’s Guild (The Confectioner Chronicles Book 1) ​by​ Claire Luana​ ​is a unique YA fantasy story that is full of magic and the unusual. It is also a murder mystery that is action packed and well paced. I felt that the characters needed a little more developing but the plot is interesting and keeps you entertained as this mystery unfolds.

Wren is accused of murder by cupcake and has a month to find out who framed her and who the actual murderer is and clear her name.

This is a read for those who enjoy fantasy and magic and an unusual murder mystery.

Once Upon a Romance(A Dream Come True Book 1)
By Alex Bailey
Rated 5 stars!

First off I LOVE the cover! Very holiday and Disney-ish. A Perfect Mesh! It drew me to this and after reading the synopsis I grabbed it. The story just appealed to me. A WDW fan and the love of family. Both are Win-Wins for me. One of my favorite things is how the magic of Christmas mixes with the magic of Disney.

The characters were well thought out and grew over the story. I enjoyed how grumpy and grouchy Sophie was at the beginning. She off-set Ariel’s nice attitude. Ariel was a sweetheart and a little matchmaker. The families and that one “special guy” were full of fun and happiness as well. Even the crazy characters they run across on their trip were lots of fun. They were all a great addition to the story.

I loved all the Disney themed comments, actions and fun. The rides and the lines as well as their days planned throughout each park. I really felt like I took this adventure along with them. So Fun!

This book will appeal to Disney fans and all of those who believe in a little magic. A wonderful story of learning to get over loss while opening yourself up to new possibilities. There are so many reasons to love this book.

P.S.
I enjoyed reading the acknowledgments and was surprised at all the different Disney websites that were listed. I plan to keep them for reference for my next trip.
Thanks!

The Confectioner’s Exile: The Confectioner Chronicles Prequel Novella (The Confectioner Chronicles 0.5) by​ Claire Luana​ ​is a quick and easy read. I found it hard in the beginning to get into the story, it was a bit slow but once it got going I found it is a complex tale and with the twists and turns and adventures I found myself more intrigued. This short story is about Hale and how one night changed his life forever. He was a little obnoxious at first but we watch him grow and come in to himself. This is one for YA’s.

Degrees of Control (A Prestian Series Book 3)
By: Via Mari
5 out of 5 stars

The story Degrees of Control (A Prestian Series Book 3) by Via Mari is a contemporary romance book. It is a story that hooks you in from the very beginning and I didn’t want to put down until I had read the final page. I have loved this series since reading the first book. One of the reasons is the amazing characters of Chase Prestian and Katarina Mellers. In this story, Katarina deals with her issues of trust and of information regarding actions that have been taken in which she doesn’t feel right about. After turning down Chase’s marriage proposal she soon finds herself having to pretend that she has accepted in order to draw out the man who has put her and others in danger. You can feel the conflict that Katarina has as she knows that she still loves Chase, however, doesn’t know how to reconcile that with her personal convictions of right and wrong. Chase is always looking out for Katarina and her safety. He is still fiercely protective of her. He is also not willing to give up on the feelings of love that he has for Katarina. Both Chase and Katarina still feel the passion and desire that has always been part of their relationship. Will they be able to navigate the rough waters that they find themselves in and come out together on the other side? Will the one that has put their lives in an upheaval be caught? How much danger are they really in? Read this story to find out. With each story that I read, I only grow to love Chase and Katarina more. They are a couple that I believe are meant for each other. Their steamy romance makes the temperature in the room rise. Don’t miss out on this next part of their story. Highly recommended book and series.

5 out of 5 stars

The anthology Cowboy: Claimed is a wonderful set of stories that include cowboys and romance. I found myself not able to put them down for long once I started. I just had to know how they ended. They had my emotions going up and down as I read about how the main characters of each story interact with each other. Most find themselves thrown together by circumstance while others reconnect. They find that they have a desire to be with each other and their attraction to each other is undeniable. Will their feelings for each other lead to them getting an HEA? Read these stories to find out. There is heartbreaking moments in the stories as well as heartwarming ones. Sometimes forgiveness is needed to move on and other times just the main characters meeting is enough to start them down their path. I also loved reading about the additional characters that are introduced in each story. I love to read anthologies as I always get to discover new authors. All of these authors have created amazing and wonderful reads that I will not soon forget. I have only recently started reading more in the western genre and I find that it is quickly becoming a favorite of mine. Don’t miss out on this anthology. Highly recommended.

Theresa is a good job of writing this story that is wonderful tale of love and has good vibe feel. The story is an easy read, it is engaging and at times humorous.

It is a story that hooked me in from the beginning and I didn’t want to put it down until I had read the final page. It is part of a series that I have loved since reading the first book.

She is talented, hard-working, and successful. She is also looking for Mr. Right. Could Carter be him? Carter believes he is a broken man. Although he thinks about her constantly, he tells himself that he is not good for her. These two enter into an agreement in which Carter will help Bailey understand men. These two are attracted to each other. Bailey does have insecurities and doesn’t believe that someone like Carter would want someone like her. Friends are all these two will ever be, right?

This is the story of Savannah, who was found on a dark road, perhaps suffering from hypothermia. She was found by two handsome cowboys, Tom and Greg. After finding out about Savannah’s life on their own, they knew what and who they wanted.

In a Savannah Saviors, you will be taken on an emotional roller coaster ride that has many unexpected twists and turns. The writing draws you in and keeps you engaged to the last page. I definitely recommend this book.

Hard as Steel is book four in the Surviving Series by Virginia Wine. This is the first book O have read by this author and would have benefited by reading the other books in the series, just to get a better handle on the characters. The way this author writes a story is well thought out, detailed and emotional.

Steel’s job as a private investigator keeps him too busy for a relationship. But that comes to an abrupt end when he meets an unforgettable woman. It is a delicate battle of wills and denial. An extremely entertaining battle, amd only with one outcome.

I really liked Hard as Steel and struggled to put it down. It was an action packed adventure. 4 stars.

  • Bound By Blood Crescent City Wolf Pack Series by Carrie Pulkinen

5-Stars

Alexis is a rogue and has always kept to herself. She has never let herself stay in one place and has always managed to get by. She hasn’t ever wanted to stay in one place, not even for her sister, until she gets to know her sister’s former partner Bryce. Attractive, sculpted, and confident, Bryce is promoted to a new position. He is attracted to Alexis but afraid to share his sensitive side. She has her own secrets but as they spend more time together following a near death experience for Alexis they fall for each other. Alexis struggles to accept fate and let him in and does not want to get him mixed up in why she nearly died.

This was such a great addition to this series. It can be read as a standalone novel but I highly recommend reading the other books as well. The characters are developed well and grow as the storyline easily flows from one event to the other. It’s easy to get lost in this novel and lose track of time. There are a few sexual scenes they may be difficult for some but I felt that it gave the romance developing between the main characters some spice. Such a great read!

Patrick is the other chef at Dockside and cannot stop eating the cupcakes that are delivered daily. He’s surprised to find out he has known the baker since she was a kid.

This was a very sweet story without a lot of drama which was not needed to make their story wonderful. I hope to see this group of friends again in the future since I’m not ready to let them go.

By: Claire Luana
My Rating: 4 of 5 stars

The Confectioner’s Exile (The Confectioner Chronicles, #0) by Claire Luana was a fast pace, heart pounding read, that had me hooked from start to finish.

Not my first read by this author or in this series. This book takes place before The Confectioner Guild, but no worries there are no spoilers. It’s one of those books that you can read before the first or after, or somewhere inbetween.

Coming in at 151 pages, that book starts out innocent enough, but in a matter of pages you are tossed into a race agents time, a rescue mission and a good old punch to the heart, just to make it all the more nerve wracking. The only thing I would have to say, that I didn’t like, was that at times I felt like, the emotions weren’t there. There is flatness where there should have been raw bloody emotions, that rip out your heart strings. I know this was short, but I feel like more time should have been spent into developing those emotional scenes, to round out this otherwise excellent story.

As a whole I very much loved this addition to this unique series. Following Hale, his journey, and how he ended up at the guild, really puts him in a different light. I like meeting his brother, his mom, and just seeing what his life was like before. It explains a
lot to say the least.

With that said, I will leave you with my super high recommendation and my stamp of approval. This series is a must read, it’s putting a new spin on overused tropes and clichés. It’s a breath of fresh air, and I can’t wait to dive into the next instalment.

Happy Reading

Climbing the Walls, Hart and Cole Book 1 by Sacha T.Y. Fortune
5 out 5 stars

Let me preface this by saying that I rarely give out 5 stars. Anyone who know me, and knows how many books I read can attest to this, however, this book was masterful. What starts off as a slow burn, quickly heats up and then sends you on one emotional roller coaster that has you holding on for dear life and when it is all said and done, you are begging for more. I am not typically a fan of first person viewpoint writing but for this book, it works very well. The author managed to created two individual people within the story and tell a first person view from each of them and they did not get lost in each other, nor did one overpower the other.

This book offers a unique view on what the outside world misses for most marriage, couples, unions, motherhood, and even everyday life. I loved this book. I was very surprised by this book but pleasantly so. I cannot wait for book 2.

This continuation of the Prestian Series is a fantastic read. This book is not a standalone. You will need to read books 1 and 2 to fill in the gaps of where this story picks up. Katarina has shattered Chase. She has rejected his marriage proposal and now he is at a loss. He still wants her, but Katarina is having a hard time coming to terms with being wanted by a man like Chase. They are thrown together in a crisis and they must learn to navigate this new dynamic between the two of them while Katarina still tries to deny to both herself and Chase that she isn’t what he wants, however, she soon begins to realize that she was wrong all along. This book is hot. Passion and sexual desire are straight off the charts and the plot within the store gives you something to work through while Katarina and Chase circle each other like hawks.

They may be thieves but they’re not close. Tru has no way to survive but to steal. But has she picked the wrong man to hit? Will is a blast from the past that Tru wishes to forget. This was a short read but we’ll worth the time spent reading it. You get a feel for every character. Tru was fearless and fragile. Not in the sense that she would break but that her emotional walls are not as strong as she would like. I don’t think most people understand how much it takes to truly forgive someone. I enjoyed this authors writing. I didn’t feel like the story was rushed or missing anything. The characters were well developed. The flow of the authors writing style made it a smooth read as well.

Ring Tru is the first book in Janice M Whiteaker’s new series called Thick as Thieves. I have read EVERYTHING that she has written so I have been sitting on hot coals while waiting for this one to be published! It is very different from her other books and I love how she can pick up a different ‘genre’ and just run with it!
Ring True is a story of second chances peppered with mystery, suspense, danger, intrigue, plots and a lot of love and heartache and … so basically everything under the sun! We meet Gertrude “True” and Will – they share a history, a very intense one and they did not depart on good terms … how would you call when your husband walks out on you when you are in hospital having been shot???!!! Even if he thinks that he did it because he thought it was the best thing he could do for you????!!! Men, do we need to say anything else!
Also, our Tru has been in a very interesting line of business for the last 15 years and she is so ready for a fresh start and this is the last job she will ever do in her old line of business … and then of course there is Will … is he on her side or is she the ‘enemy’ and what is the job he is working? Will he protect her? Will they find their way back to each other?
Pick up a copy and I know you will join me in impatiently waiting for the second book in the series!

A great read. Well developed plots with twists and turns that I just couldn’t put down.
Fast paced action and high stakes in wonderful fantasy worlds made for a highly captivating read throughout the novel. In particular, I loved the visual detail throughout the stories, in the sci fi nature of the world’s with two suns or extreme places like the desert with its dunes and harsh climate. Or the sarafin world with the exotic and eerie beauty of the forest kingdom with a sacred sense of magic and mystery. Overall, a great anthology and I would give it five stars.

How Steel is such an alpha male obsessed with his job when Nikki comes along but tries to keep her away as she can be a distraction. I was expecting that pull, the banter, his inner struggle but we got none of that. However I found myself more interested in Grace’s story and her past and what’s going on with Flynn. Those parts had the premises of a good psychological thriller that I didn’t even care at that point how the relationship between Steel and Nikki develops. I didn’t see them as main characters.

I understand this book is part of a series however a bit of a introduction of what’s going on would have been amazing and made this book possible to be read like a standalone. Without that, I felt I am missing important bits and made Steel and Nikki’s story hard to follow.

Say When (A Cedarville Novel Book 9)Say When by Bree Kraemer
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Say When – Bree Kraemer

5-stars

“Love doesn’t follow a timeline or schedule. It happens when it happens and you either recognize it, leaping in with both feet or you don’t and miss out on something amazing.”

Say When is my favourite book in Bree Kraemer’s Cedarville series. This is the 9th book in the must-read romance series and it follows Dani and Patrick along with appearances from my other favourite Cedarville couples! Though this book can be read as a standalone I would suggest reading the other books first as the characters that make appearances in Say When have their very own touching romance stories as well that are also worth a read!

This book was my favourite of this series due to the fact that it had everything I hope for in a romance read, a couple with amazing chemistry, steamy scenes, a build of emotions and of course a happily ever after. I loved how quickly I was able to connect with these characters and follow along their journey, I was saddened when I reached the end but I’m hoping to read more about Dani and Patrick in books to come!

This is a book and series I would recommend to anyone looking for their next romance read!

Climbing The Walls (Hart & Cole Book 1)Climbing The Walls by Sacha T. Y. Fortuné
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

 

This was a fantastic read and one that I couldn’t put down at all. The author wrote this book in such a way that I honestly felt I was a part of Kris and Nicole’s story. I could feel everything that they did, all the raw emotion that they felt towards each other. I think she depicted some aspects of some marriages really well and it felt like I was reading a real story at times. I really liked Kris, I thought that he was such a loving husband and there were times I really felt for him, Nicole was a character I did struggle to connect with at times. There were some good unpredictable twists in the story that I certainly didn’t see coming or expect at all!
Climbing The Walls is the author’s debut novel and I definitely think that she should be very proud of it. I am very much looking forward to the next book in the series and reading more about the characters.

Will Savannah be able to trust anyone again especially when she finds out one of the men she’s slowly starting to trust has a criminal record. The is a story about second chances and trust. It’s a sweet and emotional story about learning to love again.
