My Hidden Life: Brothers of Camelot Prequel (My Life Series #1) by Necie Navone – Review by Jana Teppih

My Hidden LifeMy Hidden Life by Necie Navone
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

My Hidden Life by Necie Navone is prequel to her Brothers of Camelot series. It is a series in its own rights called My Life. I love how she left us impatiently waiting for Aless and Greyson’s story and now she has given us her story so that we would be well acquainted with her!
My Hidden Life is the first part of Alessandra “Aless” Canzano’s story. The writer has told the story of the Princess of the Canzano crime Family from different point of views that gives it a much more intensive flavour! She started training when she was six years old and became the best while all along she only wishes to be ‘normal’ (normal is soooo overestimated!). So the first volume is about Aless growing up and training and needing to hide her life even from her closest friends and family.
It tries to give us answers to “What happens when you realize your choices for your future are no longer your own? What happens when you experience just a glimpse of another life while knowing it will never be your reality? What happens when you need to walk away because it’s not the life you’re supposed to live? I cannot wait to pick up the next volume!

Imperfect Heart (Combat Hearts Book 4)Imperfect Heart by Tarina Deaton 
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Imperfect Heart is book 4 of the Combat Heart Series. I absolutely love this author! Imperfect Heart has left me wanting To read more of her books. Her writing allows me to easily imagine what I am reading. The moment I started reading this book I had an instant connection with the characters that she creates and I can never put down one of her books until I have finished. I LOVED Zoe and Tim! They were both fantastic characters and I was completely captivated by their story. Zoe was so lovely; I loved her clumsiness and the fact that she got so nervous and just babbled on and on especially when it came to Tim. Here was just something about her that was so warm and genuine and you know you would love to have a friend like her. Tim was everything I have come to expect from one of her leading men; he was hot, sexy, protective and definitely swoon-worthy!! Tim and Zoe’s first meeting will probably stick in my mind of one of the funniest ever! I loved it! It definitely set the tone for the rest of the story! I recommend Imperfect Heart.

Hard as Steel: Book four (Hard as Steel: Book four by Virginia Wine
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Hard as Steel by Virginia Wine is book four in the Surviving Series. This is the first book I have read by this author and though it read alright as a stand alone, I would have like to have read the others as there were many characters that Steel seemed to have know for years. The characters are incredibly complex, like Nicole for example. She doesn’t talk much about anything when it comes to feelings. She’s very head strong and concerned with her work, it’s important to her. Romance isn’t exactly on the top of her lists. The plot twists are perfect and just enough to keep you needing more. I’m definitely going to have to go back for those other books. I cannot wait to read more from this author.

Jesse (Glass City Hearts Book 3)Jesse by Desiree Lafawn
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Cute story, sweet and funny. This is only the second book I have read by this author however it is the first in the Glass City Hearts series. I can say that I will read the other books in this series because I really like Lafawn’s writing style. She keeps the story moving with characters that make you laugh out loud at their situations and the things they say.

Harlow is a single mother and out heroine in this story. She is trying hard to make a better life for her and her son.

Jesse our hero of this story is just trying to help his drunken dad run their bar. Jesse doesn’t even know Harlow is what’s missing in his life. He is very swoon worthy, responsibly, loyal, funny and sexy with that beard of his.

When these two first meet, Harlow’s son causes an embarrassing situation. Jesse, however, handles it with ease and grace. Again, swoon worthy!

I look forward to reading more stories by Lafawn. I plan on reading the others in this series just so I an see what the other characters are up to.

The Confectioner’s Exile: The Confectioner Chronicles Prequel Novella

By Claire Luana

5 Stars

After reading the Confectioner’s Guild book 1 in this series it was completely awesome to go back and read Hale’s story. I don’t normally like doing this but it worked perfectly for me in this case. I was able to get a much better understanding of who Hale is and where he came from, and the lessons and the tragic losses he experienced along the way.

I really liked Hale in The Guild but spent a few too many pages completely angry at him, and although he was able to redeem himself in the end it did help having this part of his story and knowing I was right to like him so much!

I can not wait for the next in this series, there are stories brewing and I can not wait to dive back in and see what sort of adventures these characters have in store for them. I highly recommend this series and where you read this book whether before or after book one should not matter in my opinion but I’m glad I read it after I read the guild.

This author is completely amazing, I am always drawn in immediately where some books take me a few pages. I know I can always count on this author to give me something I would not normally read and make me fall in love.

Loved It!!!

5 Stars

I love me some backwards Christmas in South Pole, Alaska…I read Another Backwards Christmas and fell madly in love with this town and their traditions and now going back to see just how all of those traditions started was AWESOME. I want to move there, today!

This author has taken me away from real life once again and even though this story was way too short it was jam packed with content, but never rushed. I loved this story and how 2 people already together found a way to breathe life back into their town while still building on a relationship they were forming. It was awesome and I found myself picturing everything and I have it all laid out in my head…This was so much fun to read and now I am definitely ready for the holiday season to start.

Awesome book by an amazingly awesome author and I hope she writes more from this town in the future because I could spend many hours in South Pole, Alaska.

Loved It!!!

Who (Stalker, #1)Who by Megan Mitcham
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Who by Megan Mitcham is the first book in her Stalker Series, and HOLY COW what a fantastic read!! This book is labeled as a psychological romantic thriller and I couldn’t agree more. Following the story of Larkin Ashford, and her story is one that gripped me from the first page and had me checking dark corners and listening for every bump in the night. Larkin is a strong independent woman that lives for her work. When it comes to romance, Larkin would rather not. To her romance is nothing more than a messy complication that her life doesn’t need. When Larkin wants to take her company public, she starts getting threatening messages, and as the date looms closer the darker the messages become. To escape, Larkin goes to the rooftop of her building, and finds herself in the arms of a mysterious stranger. With him, she feels safe and drawn away from the troubles in her life. But who is he? Who is sending the messages threatening her and the company she built? The more that she finds out about the mystery man, the more sinister and evil he becomes. Is it better to keep your enemies closer than friends or is she just inviting the wolf into sanctum? Who will hook you form the very beginning and keep you on the edge of your seat until the very end. The need to keep the lights on with this book is superior. Mitcham is a new to me author, and I am so glad that I picked this series up. I cannot wait to see where the rest of this series, and other books by her, go because if they are anything like this, I know I will love it. I highly recommend getting this book now and put Mitcham on your alerts so you can go fangirl (boy) over her new works in the future like I plan to!

The story Mad About Matt (A Red Maple Falls Novel, #1) by Theresa Paolo is an amazing romance book that I loved reading. 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. It is a sweet love story that warmed my heart. I loved reading about the characters of Shay and Matt. Matt is the sheriff in a small town where his family lives and he grew up in. He is a man that still thinks about the one woman who got away and he can’t ever get out of his thoughts, Shay. Shay has moved back from New York and made her dream of opening a bakery come true. She hasn’t told why she left or what brought her back. Matt avoids that bakery and Shay because of the feelings that he had and still has for her, however, he can’t avoid her anymore when a break in happens at her shop. Both Matt and Shay are still attracted to each other and their feelings/emotions for each other have never died. Will they take the second chance that they are being given? The passion between them is undeniable. Will they make sure that nothing or anyone come between them? Will they get a happy ending? Read this book to find out. As I have grown up in a small town, I love that this story takes place in one. I also loved most of the additional characters that are introduced. That they are those closest to Matt and Shay is wonderful and make the story have that feeling of home and family. There are some scenes between Matt and Shay that make the temperature rise. This is an amazing story with wonderful characters. It is the first book in a series and I now find myself wanting to read the other stories. Highly recommended reading.

The story Hope’s Decree (The Fated Book 1) by Angela McPherson is a YA/fantasy/romance book. It is a story that hooked me in from the very beginning and I didn’t want to put it down until I had read the final page. I enjoyed reading about the background information given. It held my interest and I found the book to be wonderfully detailed so that you feel like you are right there with the characters. I loved reading about the characters of Trinity Whitebone and Blain Heros. Trinity is a senior in high school and is looking forward to finishing her final year and what is to come next. She is a girl that can feel the emotions of others in her head which can at times be overwhelming. She also finds herself feeling out of place and awkward when talking to guys. This is all the more evident when she meets Blain. She finds herself attracted to Blain and seems to be pulled towards him. Blain is a guy that when around others their emotions seem to be heightened. He has an effect not only on Trinity but on the other girls at school as well. Trinity is getting mixed signals regarding his interest in her. Revelations and danger start to present themselves. Trinity is a girl that wants to be normal. Finding out she has powers is not what she was expecting. Will she be able to learn how to successfully use these powers? How far will a group of rogue immortals go in order to control her powers? What does the future hold for Trinity and Blain? Who can Trinity trust? Will she survive? Read this book to find out. There are other additional characters that are introduced, and I loved reading about those who are the friends and family of Trinity. There are also those who you wonder about their motives and if they have a hidden agenda. This is a book that kept me spell-bound and turning pages to find out what happens next. It is wonderfully written and a story that I would recommend reading.

The story Climbing The Walls (Hart & Cole Book 1) by Sacha T.Y. Fortune’ is a contemporary fiction book. It is one that I enjoyed reading. I found myself hooked on the story from the very beginning and I didn’t want to put the book down until I had read the final page. I loved reading about the characters of Kris and Nicole. Kris is a man who works for an ad firm. He is someone who is caring, responsible, and sometimes tends to let a lot of things land on his shoulders. He knows that Nicole is a beautiful woman and sometimes wonders how he came to end up with her. Nicole is a journalist and part-time writer. She wants to become a better mother, however, she is a workaholic. Many times, jumping at the sound of her boss’s voice at a moments notice. The relationship that Kris and Nicole have is one that has raw emotions coming to the forefront. My emotions were going up and down the entire time that I was reading about them. Communication is the way that makes a marriage/relationship a smooth one. Unhealthy cycles of behavior and words left unsaid can cause problems. Kris and Nicole have times when they are bantering back and forth while there are other times when there is silence between them. What does the future hold for Nicole and Kris? Will they find the happiness that sometimes is absent, or will they find themselves “climbing the walls?” Will Nicole keep her marriage from crumbling? Read this book to find out. There are other additional characters that are introduced in this story that I enjoyed reading about their part in the story and their interactions with Nicole and Kris. This is a well-written story that I would recommend reading.

Calling the Curveball: A Lawson Family Novel is a second chance romance by Tracey Cramer-Kelly.

This book had me hooked on the very first page, and I couldn’t put it down until I read the last page. The characters and backstory were well laid out and the book flowed so well that I couldn’t believe when I got to the end. I just wanted it to go on forever.
Jamie and Kira’s story is both heartbreaking and heartwarming at times. It had me on an emotional roller coaster that I didn’t want to get off, Ms. Cramer-Kelly’s writing style made me feel like I was right there with the characters, going through their ups and downs. I really enjoyed this book and look forward to seeing what comes nextin this series and by this author. I highly recommend this book, especially if you are looking for a great fall romance.

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

Climbing The Walls is the first book in the Hart & Cole Series by Sasha T Y Fortune and what a start to the series it is. I LOVED this book. This story gripped me from the very beginning and I just couldn’t put it down (such a shame that real life gets in the way and forces you to put it down).
The main characters are married coupled Kris and Nicole Gellar. Both have high powered jobs and are very opinionated which results in a tempestuous marriage. Kris is adorable, he worships his wife and dotes on their 2 children. Nicole is a self-confessed bitch and I really struggled to like her.
As with many stories with children, their 2 kids Nikita and Khailam stole the show at many points. Nikita is a very gifted child and I loved reading her antics, always wondering what words of wisdom were going to come out of her adorable mouth.
Reading the ups and downs of their marriage was gripping and you are taken on a roller coaster of emotions going through their journey.
This is definitely what is classed as a ‘page turner’ and I would highly recommend this book.

Savannah’s Saviors (The Cowboys of Cavern County Book 5) Bella Settarra is a romance story with a little twist. I really enjoy reading this book and fell in love with most of the characters, well the ones who count. Bella has written a story that is as heartbreaking as it is heartwarming. The characters were real life and down to earth and the town that Bella created could be imagined. It is really well written and will keep you engaged to the very end. This was a tale of violence and abuse, of lies and secrets, of betrayal and new beginnings, of sadness and misunderstandings and of love and laughter. I wouldn’t mind me some handsome cowboys and loved watching them all grow together. This should not be missed. I am looking forward to reading more from Bella.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Jesse is book three in the Glass City Hearts series by Desiree Lafawn. It is a mixture of suspense, determination, strength, courage, tension, passion, love, triumph. It has loads of everything. Everything that makes you think hard, breathe hard, cringe hard, laugh hard, cry hard, pray hard, rejoice hard. A romance with it all.

Jesse melted my heart as well as raised my blood pressure. He sounded all sorts of hot. Pleasure getting to know him. Harlow displays a strength that is admirable. She does what she has to do. She is great at what she does. She is tough femininity personified. Add in the characters from earlier in the series, and you have one story you just cannot put down. They are colourful, cantankerous, courageous, and day they make no apologies for that.

Jesse was an unforgettably decadent read. 5 stars.

Caught in Make-Believe: The Caught Series, Book 3 by Sharleen Scott
4 out of 5 stars

This 3rd installment in the Caught series is a fantastic book. It can be read as a standalone, however, you would gain a lot of insight and background knowledge from past characters, and relationships if you read the previous 2 books. While it does not take away from Caught in Make-Believe, I am a firm believer, as a reader, that you should read a series from Book 1. Samantha and Jace are our two main characters. Samantha is a woman who is lucky in business but unlucky in love. Her most recent relationship ended in such a terrible way that she is on the verge of swearing off men. In walks Jace, an investigative journalists who uncovered a massive story that sent him into hiding for 5 years.

Jace does not want to put Samantha in danger and Samantha knows that Jace’s stay will most likely be temporary, but they are drawn together in a way that is both explosive and necessary. But Jace’s past catches up with him and he soon figures out that 5 years away, is not nearly enough to escape the dangers that are after him.

I loved this story. The suspense combined with the romance made for a perfect book to curl up and read on a rainy friday night. The sentence structures were full and complete thoughts and the paragraphs flowed from to the other. I never felt rushed, nor did I feel that I was not given enough information during this book. Highly recommended!

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

Player by Pamela DuMond is the first book in her 21st Century Courtesan series and what a fantastic first book. This book grabbed me from the first page and didn’t let go until the last page. I easily gave up all of my day to blaze through this one and can’t wait until the next installment comes out. Following the story of Dylan McAlister and Evie it was easy to fall in love with them. Evie is a woman of seduction by night and education by day. Becoming a seductress was supposed to be to help her family but the more she does it the more she falls in love with the power that it gives her. When Evie meets Dylan, she thinks he is going to be just another job, but there is something about Dylan that brings out a desire and passion from her that she wasn’t prepared for. When Dylan first set his eyes on Evie, he wasn’t prepared for what she brought out in him. His broken past kept him from connecting to others, but these two connected from meeting one. Can Evie help Dylan with the broken pieces of himself? Can Dylan keep Evie beyond their night together? There is a touch of suspense to this lovers tale, as Evie’s stalker isn’t happy with her budding love affair with Dylan. Can these two get past their dark pasts, or will they be pulled apart by differences. DuMond is a new to me author, but I am so glad that I picked this book up. The chemistry between Evie and Dylan was palpable, and the playful banter between them made this an easy story to fall into. If you are looking for a great story that will take you away from everything for a couple hours than this is the story for you. This book is a part of a series, and while I haven’t read book two yet, if it’s anything like this one I can’t wait to read it. I highly recommend this book to anyone looking for a great read and a new author!

I have read a few of this talented authors books and she continues to blow me away. This is the second book of the Prequel to Brothers of Camelot and My Life series. I love a good coming to age book but this author exceeds my expectations. This series has be read in order or you will be lost. I could not put this book down. I could not help falling in love with these characters once again. It only took me a little over a day to devour this incredible story.

This book picks up where the last one ends. Alessandra is the Princess to the Canzano Family. She is going to the Boss when her father passes it down to her. Alessandra has been training ever since she was six years old. She is now trained to kill and she is even better than some of the men. Alessandra is now a teenager that wants to do teen things but she can’t. She is growing to hate her roll in the family. Alessandra has to be on guard at all times. One day her world is turned upside down. She makes a promise that will change her life but will she be able to do it? Will Alessandra get to live her life or will she stay in the cage her father has her in?

This is my favorite series I have read this year. The storyline has it all love, loss,heartbreak, and healing. You will fall in love with these characters all over again. I absolutely love Alessandra’s Uncle. He is her hero. He will do anything to make her smile. Alessandra is so brave at this tender age. She has seen a lot of violence through her life but she learns from it. All she wants to do is to find true love. This talented author made me cry tears of sadness and joy. I can’t wait to see what happens next to these unforgettable characters.

This being the third book in this series was another great one. I was not disappointed. I really enjoyed the chance to get to know more about the Mallory’s and the extended family. I was just as entranced with this book as I was the first.

I really like how Skye and Edward’s lives just really became entangled with one another. The outside dramas that incurred from her ex and his ex just really made the story. The author really has a unique writing form that you get sucked in from the first page. I really enjoyed the chemistry between Skye and Edward and then throwing in his young son really just made the whole story. I found myself really drawn to Skye as she was so relateable. I will definitely be reading more from this author in the future and I actually hope that there is more to this series.

Another great read in this series! This book should be read after book 1 as it is a continuation of the story. Even though I really enjoyed book 1 in this series I think this one was even better. I loved reading more about Beta and Martin. I still really liked Beta and admired her determined attitude, she knew what she wanted and she wasn’t going to let anybody, not even Martin, get in her way! Martin was sweet and really just wanted to protect Beta the best he could, however with her mind set on revenge he was finding that a little, if not very, difficult.
There were again some great twists and turns in the story that made it all the more exciting to read. The imaginative world that Ms Myers has created in this series is amazing, I really feel like I can visualise the setting at all times.
A great second book in this series that I highly recommend! I look forward to reading more from this author again in the future.

Everything I loved about book 1, the writing, the plot and the characters – I loved again with this book. The author has an amazing talent at dragging you into her stories straight away and not letting you out until the very end.
As Chase and Katarina’s story continues we get to see more into their relationship both professionally and personally. We see Katarina discover the father she never knew and danger surround Chase as he tried to protect those nearest to him. With danger lurking around every corner I couldn’t turn the pages quick enough to see what was going to happen next. The suspense and action that they author created was amazing and kept me on the edge of my seat.
I am eagerly anticipating the next book in the series – I cannot wait to read it and get more of these characters!

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

 

Got to be honest I absolutely loved this book! It was exciting to read, it was entertaining and I couldn’t put it down! It was also a fantastic introduction to Ms DuMond as a brand new author to me. The story was fast paced and the flow was perfect.
I could feel the tension between Evie and Dylan rolling off the pages as I took in their story. I really liked Evie, she was a strong independent woman but as I got to know her more and the more I read about her I could see that this was a front and she was covering up for things that had happened in her past. Dylan is extremely hot and I just knew that the connection and chemistry between the two of them would be good – and I wasn’t wrong!!
I absolutely cannot wait for the next book in the series and I really need to check out the prequel to the series too!
A fantastic 5 star read that I highly recommend!!

I loved this book. The main characters are well developed. The book moves quickly. I liked the transition between past and present and thought the author did a great job navigating the storyline. All in all a great book. This is the first I’ve read from this author and I hope it won’t be the last.

Born to Fight (Can't Resist You, #1)Born to Fight by Brittany Anne
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

 

I really, really enjoyed this book! When I first looked at the blurb I honestly wasn’t sure what kind of read I was in for so I was intrigued and that intrigue paid off, it was a very, good read and a great introduction to a new to me author. I’ve read a few sci-fi books however it is still a genre that is quite new to me. Born to Fight dragged me in almost straight away, the authors writing style was engaging and her descriptive language particularly good. There was a good mix of genres really in the story and everything melded together really well. The author used multiple points of view to tell the story which I’ll be honest I love! I love seeing things from different characters perspectives and I felt like I really knew the characters, Hunter and Rain really well. There were some good twists and turns in the story that definitely meant my interest was kept form beginning to end. It was nice to read something a little different and also something I found unpredictable.
I am definitely looking forward to reading more from this author again in the future.

Across From You by Amabel Daniels – Review by Francis O’Sullivan

Across From YouAcross From You by Amabel Daniels
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Across From You by Amabel Daniels is a charming romantic comedy about two people who, despite being determinedly not looking for relationships, find their paths crossing. It’s a story of love and friendship, and is an entertaining and enjoyable read.
Lexi has just been dumped rather dramatically and publicly on social media when the story begins. After such brutal treatment from a man she trusted, she’s wary of getting into anything anytime soon. That doesn’t stop her from rather enjoying the nude model at an art class her best friend has dragged her along to! Lexi is a determined and loveable character, fighting to stay positive for her cousin Bev’s wedding in spite of everything. And Jack – nude model and, conveniently, a friend of Bev’s, is a gentle and warm character.
The story alternates between Lexi and Jack’s perspective each chapter. This works well, as we see them falling in love from both angles. It also lets us see the misunderstandings and assumptions they are making about each other, and get a sense for why they do and say what they do. Both of them are hurting from past relationships, and cautious about trusting someone else.
The drama of Bev’s wedding provides a great backdrop for the story. As well as an excuse for the characters to be together, it pits them against common enemies (tactless bridesmaids, a tyrannical wedding coordinator) and allows for an exploration of love at different stages.
For me, this is a five star read. I really enjoyed it, and was quickly drawn in by the loveable characters and entertaining scenarios. If you’re after something fun and positive, I’d recommend this. I imagine it would be particularly enjoyable to anyone familiar with the stresses of a wedding day!

Mad About Matt (A Red Maple Falls Novel, #1) by Theresa Paolo – Review by Erica Fish

Mad About Matt (Red Maple Falls #1)Mad About Matt by Theresa Paolo
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Mad About Matt is a second chance romance book. I found that some of the content was not for me personally, but I can understand how this content would be for someone else. Theresa Paolo did write an interesting story. Her characters are lovable, and the town is small town USA. Besides being a romance book, there is a mystery about the town. I did like this story as I love the story line and the plot. Just some of the intimate details was a little too much for me.

Matt loved Shay when they were in high school. Then as the story goes his high school sweetheart Shay came back from NYC. Shay has opened a bakery in Red Maple Falls and she has been the victim of several break-ins. She is worried that someone has followed her from NYC. She does not want to press charges and Matt (now sheriff) does not understand why.
