Blind Magic (The Sanctuary Chronicles) by India Kells – Review by Anna Hirsch

Blind Magic (The Sanctuary Chronicles #2)Blind Magic by India Kells
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Blind Magic (The Sanctuary Chronicles) by India Kells
4 Stars

I have read many paranormal books and I’m happy to say that this is an original piece of work. There is romance, intrigue, supernatural beings and mythology all thrown in together. The addition of mythology adds a nice twist to the story.

Sera Dover is an orphaned witch whose power is making her go blind. Ian Macon is a werewolf whose heart has been broken in a million pieces. When they get together, it’s electric. It is also against the law. Each species has to stick to their own, no intermingling allowed. You can be friends but nothing more. Though Sera tries to keep it just friends, the attraction is undeniable. Ian doesn’t care about the law, he knows he loves her and will protect her with his life. With someone trying to kill her, it will take all her friends coming together to protect her.

I haven’t read book one in the series but Ms. Kells did such an awesome job with her back story that I was never lost. There are a lot of little details that are important to the story which you only realize later. It is in these complexities that make her writing so great. This is the first book that I have read from this author and definitely won’t be the last. I’m looking forward to the next chapter in this series.

The Boss Man ( The Manly Series Book 4) by Teddy Hester – Review by Heather Bass

The Boss Man: A Steamy Contemporary Romantic Suspense Novel (The Manly Series Book 4)The Boss Man: A Steamy Contemporary Romantic Suspense Novel by Teddy Hester
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is the first book that I have read from this and she blew me away. I love good contemporary romance but this story exceeded all my expectations. This is the fourth book in the Manly Series. It can be read as a stand alone but there are prior characters in this book as well. I will be reading the prior books so I can understand the other characters better. I was hooked to this story right from the beginning. These characters had me up all hours of the night. It only took me a few hours to devour this great book.

Jack DePaul is a very smart man and gets what he wants. He is very excited about his new contract. This could make him or break him. Jack’s main goal is to make the deadline until he meets the sassy Jillian. He feels the chemistry right away with her. When he hires her to his crew things get interesting. Jack has a lot on his plate and when things go missing he needs to fine out who is trying to destroy him. Will Jack make his deadline or will it all fall apart?

Jillian Vickers has always been protected by her father and brothers. She wants to do things herself and when she gets the opportunity to do a inside story she jumps on it. Jillian is all about the story up until she meets her new boss. She instantly feels a pull towards him. When Jillian gets to know Jack better sparks begin to fly but what will her protective family think of them? Will Jillian be able to find her independence or will she be continued to be bossed around?

I absolutely loved this book. The storyline has it all romance, humor, and mystery. You will fall in love with these characters right from the beginning. Jack is a handsome but young businessman that loves his job. He is very headstrong but Jillian gives him a run for his money. Jillian is a beautiful caring woman that feels suffocated by her family. She wants some independence. These characters have some steamy scenes that will make your temperature rise. This talented author will keep you at the edge of your seat until the end. I can’t wait to see what this author will write next.

Georgia Pine (Southern Promises #3) by K.G. Fletcher – Review by Liz Vrchota

Georgia Pine (Southern Promises #3)Georgia Pine by K.G. Fletcher
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I have personally read the first two books in the Southern Promises books by KG Fletcher, but they are written in a way that you could read them as standalone novels. I would recommend that you read them all though, and feel as if you will feel the same once you finish this one, and fall for Tim and Jessica as I have. They are great little romance reads to escape into, you can’t really go wrong.

Like I stated above, in Georgia Pine we get the story of Jessica and Tim. These two are just too darn perfect. I absolutely was enamored with them by the time I had finished the last page, and frankly I want more! Jessica is fresh off a difficult divorce and left to fend on her own for her and her four daughters. Learning to be a single mother a single woman is no easy feat. In swoops the brooding and handsome gardener, Tim. Tim has his own demons that he is hiding under his full beard, and even his name. There is so much more to him that she could ever know. But at the root of it all they have a spark. It is ignited and they are spun together into a fast developing love. Of course, life eventually catches up to everyone though. What will happen when the secrets come out? Can Jessica still love Tim? Will they be able to put the past behind them for good? You will have to pick up this little gem to find out for yourself!

The Boss Man (The Manly Series #4) by Teddy Hester – Review By Chantelle Smith

The Boss Man: A Steamy Contemporary Romantic Suspense Novel (The Manly Series Book 4)The Boss Man: A Steamy Contemporary Romantic Suspense Novel by Teddy Hester
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The Boss Man is Book 4 in The Manly Series from author Teddy Hester – even though these books are part of a series, these books can be read as stand-alone and still be enjoyed just as much.

This book was captivating and I was totally compelled while reading it. This plot was well written and this author had created some brilliant characters. This was a short read, and at times I think it could have been better if it was a full length novel just so that we had more depth to certain parts in the read, but that didn’t stop me from enjoying it.

Each characters that was created for this story was relatable and I loved reading Jack & Jillian’s journey through this read. They have incredible banter throughout and an undeniable connection from the get-go – I definitely would love to have more from them though. I liked the little twist of the suspense in the novel, it added another level to this read and it was something I did enjoy. I loved how it was written and how you got the countdown to Jack’s deadline.

This was a great introduction to this author for me, and I will look forward to see what else this author brings to this series.

Touchdown: A Steamy Football Romance (The Big Apple Series book 1) by Alexa Summers – Review by Kerry Baker

Touchdown: A Steamy Football Romance: The Big Apple Series Book 1Touchdown: A Steamy Football Romance: The Big Apple Series Book 1 by Alexa Summers
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Touchdown: A Steamy Football Romance by Alexa Summers is the first book in The Big Apple series. This book is everything you can want from a sports romance.
Lexi is gray at her job. She knew she was going to be from the moment she walked into a boys locker room, saw what was beneath the towels and decided to become a sports presenter.
But when she takes it too far one day her current subject, Brock, demands an apology from her. And things can only go wrong when she doesn’t feel like she has anything to apologise for.

This book is fantastic. It was funny, entertaining as well as being steamy and captivating. Brock and Lexi have such great chemistry you can feel it coming off the pages as you read. This was a new author to me and I was blown away by how easily she grabbed and held my attention throughout. A brilliant book.

The Boss Man: A Steamy Contemporary Romantic Suspense Novel (The Manly Series Book 4)The Boss Man: A Steamy Contemporary Romantic Suspense Novel by Teddy Hester
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Well, well, well, The Boss Man is the fourth book in the Manly series by Teddy Hester that one can read as a standalone. I think the writer chose the names for the main characters while thinking of a nursery rhyme … luckily the story is very far from it! It was my first encounter with this writer and it was a very fortunate one indeed …
Our couple of the story is a bossy construction Wunderkind Jack De Paul and the baby of the family Jill(ian) Vickers (who is NOT a spoilt primadonna!) … I am sure you can get the drift already! Add to it all a bit of a havoc wrecking saboteur, reputation to hold up, drama, flaming chemistry and … you will sit at the edge of your seat until you get to the last page!
Let’s be serious though, it is a well written emotional story filled with banter and pursuit of happiness that will leave no one cold!

The Jack (The Immortal Series Book Two)The Jack by M.K. Harkins
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The Jack by M.K. Harkins is the second book in The Immortal series. As good as the first book this book will be sure to keep you reading to the end.
Archer lives his life each day stuck between two opposing sides. A position he is responsible for since the betrayed he readers. It doesn’t matter that he saved them from destruction, only that he betrayed them in the first place.
So when he meets the immortal seer Sadie, he is not surprised to find out she is on a mission to destroy the remaining Jacks.
And yet the sparks between them are a bit hard to ignore. And when they are forced to work together more closely than anticipated it might be that the mission is no longer quite that simply.

This series is genuinely shaping up be to great. Another book that is just as riveting as the first was. I love the way this author fully immersed you in this world of Jacks and Readers. It is so easy to imagine yourself as part of the world they live in. I loved that you could also feel Archer’s turmoil and the difficult position he is in. This was a great book and I am looking forward to what else is to come.

Hidden An Ash Park Novel by Meghan O’Flynn

4 Stars!!!!

This series seems to get darker and darker. I once again found myself drawn into the world createdynn
by the author. I again took the journey out of my comfort genre to the dark and thrilling adventures
of the police of Ash Park. The author has a very unique and chilling writing style.

I really found myself drawn to Petrosky and also feeling just a bit sorry for him. He seems to be on
a bit of a self destruct mode and you just really find yourself routing for him. As the case draws on you find that the ghosts of his past really do impact the way he is in the present. I could feel the emotions coming off the pages. As I was glad that the case in the book was brought to an end I found myself really feeling so much concern for Petrosky. The author leaves us on a cliffhanger and that just makes you hunger for what is to come. I will be on tenter hooks waiting for the next book in this
series.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

 

I absolutely LOVE this author! Every book that I have read of hers I have loved and after reading ‘The Reader’ book 1 in this series I was really excited to get my hands on the second book. It was everything I expected and more, I was hooked from the very first page. The authors writing was just so easy to read, the words flowed seamlessly and it really was a pleasure to be immersed in such an amazing story. The characters were amazing and well thought out again – I’m still very much in love with Archer!! There were some great and unexpected twists and turns in the story, I loved the romance, the fantasy – in all honesty I loved all of it!
The Jack is another fantastic read by M.K. Harkins, I’m sure it would appeal to a variety of readers, especially YA, fantasy lovers and of course those romantics out there! The heat level is perfect for the story and not too much angst either!
I absolutely recommend this book and book 1 in the series also!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

 

Just when you think this series can’t get any better out comes book 4 and Ms O’Flynn takes the series to a whole new level. I have to say this has got to be my favourite from the series so far. The writing again was amazing dragging me into the story from the very first page. So whilst I think it would be perfectly fine to read this book as a standalone I would highly recommend the rest of the series too. I liked Detective Petrosky in the previous books so I was really looking forward to getting more from him in this one and he didn’t disappoint at all! Again the story was quite dark, very gritty but I have come to expect this from the series and although not always my kind of thing it has made for a very exciting read. The authors writing is very detailed so you can easily imagine what you’re reading, which at times is a little much but I still really enjoyed the story. She definitely knows how to keep me on the edge of my seat that’s for sure!
I am really looking forward to the next book in the series!!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

 

This was a quick fun read that I enjoyed. I haven’t read anything by this author previously but I would really like to read the first three books in the series. This book can be easily read as a standalone.
I thought that the writing was engaging, smooth; the pace was fast and flowed well. It did take me a little to get into the story and warm up to the characters but once I did I found it hard to put down until I had finished. Jack and Jilly had a good amount of chemistry which led to a few steamy encounters. These I thought were well written and not over the top like I have read in the past. I liked that there was a little bit of mystery thrown into the story something which I definitely wasn’t expecting.
A good short read, perfect if you are looking for something a little steamy with good characters.

The Boss Man
A Contemporary Romantic
Suspense Novel
The Manly Series Book 4
By Teddy Hester
☆☆☆☆☆
This is a full length contemporary romance. Can be read as a standalone. Just a plain and simple love story, with a twist.

Jillian Vickers is a protected daughter and sister to her family. She wears many hats in her day to day life. Helping in the family businesses, writing the article one green energy, and taking care of the grapefruit harvest. She has no time for romance or another male to push her around. Working a nightshift to get information on the article she is writing, is very important. Until the weather changes and the pickers are at the ranch. So let’s throw Jack into the mix and watch the the story unfold.

Teddy Hester loves writing about all things romantic. She breaks her stories down and makes you fall in love with her characters. I love Jillys strength and how she does not want to be judged by her gender. Teddy Hester caught my interest on page one, and kept me turning those pages. Hooray for another new author for me. I look forward to read more from Teddy Hester.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

 

I really enjoyed this story, it made me laugh and the way in which the author wrote the story made me feel really engaged with the main character. It was almost like I was reading her diary and living her life with her. The pace of the story was quite slow and the author did go into detail which in some parts was maybe a little too much but I still thought that it was a really good read. I really appreciated the British humour in the story too. I thought that the flow of the story was good and the writing really smooth – I found it really easy to read. I really felt a connection with Molly, the main character, I thought that she was really relatable and I did like her, although she did tend to apologise a lot!!
Overall I thought that this was a really enjoyable read and I would definitely recommend it to other readers!

Blind Magic: The Sanctuary Chronicles Book 2
By India Kells
5 Stars

So, when reading a paranormal romance what are we wanting? Magic? Witches and shifters? And of course, romance! India Kells delivers that and more with this fantastic read. But that’s not all this book delivers and every reader will be riveted until the very end!

Ian Macon is a broken man. With the loss of his mate, he does not see a future for himself. But being the beta of the Asher Pack has given him purpose. But he knows that he will never have that mating bond again and will be just a shell of the wolf that he once was. Until he meets Sera Dover. Something about her just draws him in…

Sera Dover has always known that her eyesight is diminishing. All she wants is to leave her past behind and focus on the future. But when her eyesight is suddenly taken from her, Sera is left reeling and unsure about what her future will now hold. Can she make a new future with these new challenges? And how will the intriguing wolf that she met just before she lost her eyesight play into that future?

I love paranormal books. Something about the mystical just always pulls me in. But India Kells blew me out of the water with this book. From the little details and nuances she delivers to the rich characters, Ms. Kells gives the reader so much more. The story is intriguing with the bit of forbidden romance and air of mystery that floats throughout. This was a wonderful read that left me wanting to go back and read it again and again. If you’ve never tried paranormal books, I highly recommend Ms. Kells as an author to try out the genre. She hits the nail on the head and you will become a fan before you know it!

I loved this book! Absolutely loved it! Rhia was an amazing character, she was feisty, she made me laugh and she was one of the most empathetic characters I have ever read about. Even with everything going on in her life she still put others first before her own feelings. I loved the love/hate relationship between her and Wyatt; I desperately wanted them to end up together! They had a great, genuine connection and their chemistry was HOT!!! Wyatt was a brilliant character too, his childhood absolutely broke my heart and I have to admit I would happily do an inventory with him! Or any of his brothers to be honest!
I haven’t read the first book in this series but this can be read as a standalone easily however it has made me want to read Beckett’s story! I absolutely cannot wait to read more about these brothers!! A fantastic read that I highly recommend!

The Sound of Love (The Sound Series Book 1) by Maria Watts – Review by Maura Harper

The Sound of Love (The Sound series #1)The Sound of Love by Maria Watts
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Pros:

Author wrote a very well thought out story.

Characters are defined and you know the role they take in the story.

Realism in the writing. Characters are age appropriate in their insecurities and moodiness.

Author wrote in great detail so there was no wondering what was going on in a scene.

Cons:

Realism in the writing. Characters are age appropriate in their insecurities and moodiness.

Author wrote in great detail so there was no wondering what was going on in a scene. A three week span took 400+ pages.

While this is book 1 in the series, it’s been a few years and book 2 doesn’t appear to be written.

Every rock star cliche is in this story. If my younger cousins were looking for a story in the rock star genre, I would add this book to the list.

Blind Magic (The Sanctuary Chronicles #2) by India Kells – Review by Sarah Oakes

Blind Magic (The Sanctuary Chronicles #2)Blind Magic by India Kells
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

A great read about independence. Sera is a witch who has recently lost her sight. But her blindness holds more secrets than she knows and brings danger into her life. Dreading the consequences, Sera wants to run but her friends want to help. Will she stay and put them in danger, or risk the consequences alone?
A great read. Well developed plot with twists and turns that I just couldn’t put down. Well developed characters like Ian trying to move on from pain and protect people or Sera trying to carry on despite it all. The depiction of blindness and it’s struggles was beautifully done and emotive and powerful and I loved the colourful auras vivid and bright to help her see which was a lovely touch. I also loved the use of the senses throughout with smell and touch and taste and hot and cold as if you were actually there.
Great cast of supporting characters like Finn and Violet with humour the book needed or Hunter as the calm source of reason.
I loved the fantasy nature of the novel with its shifters and witches mixed with realism of coffee shops and libraries which made for a captivating read. The use of magic was spellbinding each time with different powers alongside fast paced action and high stakes for a brilliant read.
Overall, a brilliant read and I would give it five stars.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I have to say that Blind Magic is the first book that I read by India Kells. I was pleasantly surprised by what I read, as it had a good amount of Paranormal in it. I went in blind, without really knowing what the book really was. This was also because I haven’t read the first book in the Sanctuary Chronicles. It took me a second to follow along, but it wasn’t a major problem.

I most definitely enjoyed Sera & Ian’s world and all that they had to offer. Their quick attraction, which is undeniable is one that I loved. I liked the author’s ability to create this world, one that the reader can easily get lost within. I definitely enjoyed the writing style, character building as well as the way in which the storyline was portrayed. Definitely a 4 star book for me. I can’t wait to read more by this author.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The Sound of Love is book one in the Sound series by Maria Watts. As a new author to me, I went in with an open mind. I am so glad I did. The writing style was enchanting and really, really difficult to put down.

Nina and Chris. What to say about my feelings for these two. Put simply, frustrating yet so totally enjoyable. It was like stepping back in time to my teenage years. The same newness, the same uncertainty, the same blind innocence, the same narrow minded attitude, the same emotions, the same struggle with interpreting these unfamiliar amd scary feelings. I wanted to shale these two one minute, and hug them the next. It was a very realistic insight into a teenagers first love. Their lack of maturity and dramatic interpretation on just about every situation made this impossible to be away from. Their desire for one another was palpable, but inexperience made them unable to cope with these complex and overwhelming emotions. But heavens it was so good, I was a bit bewildered by just how much I loved this story.

Maria Watts is the ultimate in first love romance, and I am so very excited to read more of this series. 5 stars.

I am now planning to go back and read the first three books in this series. This book had me hooked from the very first page, and I couldn’t put it down until I read the last. It was sweet and sexy with a little mystery and suspense added in. Jack DePaul and Jillian Vickers had such chemistry and the characters were believable and down to earth. I enjoyed the witty banter and candid conversations. I love when a book makes me laugh out loud and this book did just that, but there was also mystery and intrigue that kept me guessing.

Neverland by Melissa Jane completely crushed me! This was a truly heart-wrenching read that had me in tears, if you’re looking for a happy read this sure isn’t it. This book is by far my favourite by this author, from the first chapter I was hooked. The storyline had me so intrigued and feeling so emotional, from disgust, anger, hatred, shock and deep sadness I felt it all. Lucy’s character was so easy to connect with and her story is one I won’t soon forget.

I loved how this author wrote in both past and present moments, it kept me really engaged the whole way through as I questioned everything. Plus, it gave me insight into the love connection that Romeo and Lucy shared. A love so strong that I pray they truly found their way to Neverland.

I would absolutely recommend this book to others and I look forward to reading more from this author in the near future!

Fisher of Men (Eastern Shore Swingers #1) by Phoebe Alexander – Review by Naomi McDonald

Fisher of MenFisher of Men by Phoebe Alexander
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Fisher of Men is the first book in the Eastern Shore Swingers series. It can be read as a standalone.

The first few chapters of the book seemed like they were taking forever to get through. The pace seemed slow and drawn out. BUT, when things start progressing with Leah and Cap, the story picked up and had me hooked. I had a marathon reading session and finished the book in a day.

One of the things that kept me interested is probably the fact that I can relate to the internal struggle, both regarding faith and the emotional aspect, that Leah goes through as she begins to unravel the structure she has been taught is the truth and proper way of living. It is emotionally strenuous to find out things about yourself that go against what you’ve been taught is proper. Add to that the input of outside sources and you’ve got a recipe for drama and heartache. Rewriting your belief system is not for the faint of heart. And not everyone has the strength to do it. Does Leah have what it takes to go after what she truly wants? Ride this emotional roller coaster with her and find out!

Even though I had a rocky start with this book, it turned out to be a spectacular read. I am glad that I gave it a chance and stuck with it.

Hidden: An Ash Park Novel (Volume 4)
By Meghan O’Flynn
Another awesome story by Meghan!!! In my opinion you should read the first three books in this series so you have a better background of what’s going on. The stories this author weaves so intricately gets into my head and stays there. There are dark and sadistic things going on in this story and will keep you on the edge of your seat. There are some unpredictable moments and great loss. I cannot say enough great things about this book and the entire series so far. I can’t wait to read the next one. This is a must read you will not be disappointed!

Fisher of Men (Eastern Shore Swingers Book 1)
By Phoebe Alexander
I was definitely intrigued by the synopsis of this book. I enjoyed reading about Leah Miller and Chris “Cap” Sheldon, their chemistry is off the charts. I really liked how the author portrayed the conflict Leah was struggling with between her religion and her sexuality. I thought both of the characters were really strong in their own ways along with some of the supporting characters in this story. I enjoyed learning more about the swingers lifestyle, to be honest I really had no idea what it was really about, I had only heard the term but without much detail. I think Phoebe did an excellent job with her detail and descriptions of the lifestyle and setting of this story. I found myself rooting for these two, hoping they can find a way to work through the issues and be together. You must read if you want to find out if they end up together. This is the first book in this series and I can’t wait to read the next. I highly recommend this book, keep in mind that this is an adult book.
