My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I give The Last Keeper of the Light: a dystopian fantasy by Nikki Broadwell, 5 stars.

Sandal barely remembers life before the electricity was shut down and everything stopped. She has been living this way for a long, long time. She is now on a journey. She doesn’t exactly know where, but the the light seems to be guiding her. Along the way, she reflects events from her past, both good and bad. But where is she headed? Is it all in her mind?

This was a book like none I have read before. I’ll be honest, the way it started had me leary. I thought it was going to be another survivor after the world ends type book. And yes there is a bit of that, but mainly to build the story. There is so much more going on in this book. Sandal is an incredible character, she went through hell multiple types and came out stronger. She took her happiness where she could get it. She is a survivor and it was wonderful seeing her story. I would love to read more of this world and more of her.

This a dystopian fantasy that I highly recommend for adults of all ages. There are some adult themes in here that to me make it for those over 18, but it is highly worth the time and money to read. You will not regret it!

Special Agent Charli (Undercover FBI Book 6)Special Agent Charli by Mimi Barbour
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Special Agent Charli by Mimi Barbour is the sixth book in the Undercover FBI Series. I was pulled in from the first page of the story and did not stop reading till I finished the book. I did not want it to end. The writing flows with ease and it is very engaging. The story has a bit of everything from suspense, action, mystery and love for family. The characters are well developed, very real and were easy to connect with and understand. The secondary characters were perfectly written in the story and fit right in. I highly recommend Special Agent Charli.

Degrees of Innocence
(The Prestian Series book 1)
Via Mari

Periodically I have to go for medication infusions which last a couple hours at a time so I’m constantly looking for a good book to help me escape the boredom. I stumbled across Degrees of Innocence while looking for my most recent read and I was really intrigued by the synopsis. Via Mari is a new to me author so I wasn’t sure what to expect from this book but knowing it was book one of a series I was hopeful I had found my next set of escapes for a while.
I wasn’t disappointed when I started Degrees of Innocence, I was actually a little surprised at how quickly I was drawn into the storyline and captured by the characters. This story was unique with well written twists and turns that left me on the edge of my seat but there were aspects that still left a familiar feel which I welcomed (like the usage of email communication).
I’m really impressed with how strong the storyline was written with a balance of incredibly steamy romance but substance and intrigue. I’m hooked and looking forward to carrying on more with the series.

The Boss by Abigail Owen

Five Stars

Fate dealt Finn a sad hand. A mate that wasn’t a true mate. Overcome with grief he became cold. Losing who he thought was his true mate made Finn an amazing leader and boss. Even through the pages he demanded respect. He was such a strong character. Delaney was super goofy too me. Not haha goofy but like things kept happening and she didn’t know how to react. I really enjoyed this story. Dragons are those creatures that you wish were real but also fear. The beautiful way the author described them and the power they commanded. A very well written story on second chances, trust and love. You can tell the difference between his first mate and Delaney. His need claim was different . He only hesitated because he had already killed one mate.

The Kitty Committee: A Novel of SuspenseThe Kitty Committee: A Novel of Suspense by Kathryn Berla
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

WOW! What an amazing surprise this story was. I love mystery and suspense but it’s something I rarely have been reading lately but this story totally got me back into the mood!

Grace grew up traveling with her family in South America who are missionaries. Her father sustains an injury so they head back to California where they decide to finally stay. As Grace enters school she sees just how different she is from the other students which is a hard adjustment for her. Two girls decide to take her under their wing and they form the Kitty Committee. In this group of three, only they matter, nothing gets in between them.

Carly is the gorgeous but incredibly manipulative of Maggie and Grace. She digs her claws in deep and there is no way to get out from under her. When she feels like she’s been wronged by Maggie and Grace they must prove their loyalty that haunts them for years to come.

This book was AMAZING! It’ll tangle you in its web and not let you go until the very end.

Casstiel by Sheri-Lynn Marean
4 Stars

I didn’t realize that this book was part of a series. I was a little confused in the beginning but after a few pages, I was up to speed on what was going on. I actually chose the book because of the cover but I’m glad I did. The author wrote a spellbinding novel of a fantastic world filled with dragons. The more I read, the more I wanted to learn about this world.

When Casstiel’s mate dies, he should have entered the afterlife with her yet he stayed tethered to the world. He stopped living. Hell bent on destroying the one he was bound to, he searched ten years to find her. Yet when he finds her, he never expected to be attracted and protective of her. Feeling as if he is betraying his mate, war rages within him as he fights his feelings for Ashara.

Ashara is such a wonderful and complex character. Raised as a slave and breeding machine for the Ilium, she should have been a broken mess. She rose from the ashes of despair, never losing herself and is one of the strongest characters in the book. I admire her gentleness and selflessness.

This book is a dragon shifter romance yet it is so much more. It is a story of love, loss and heartache. The characters go through so much that it will have your emotions in a whirlwind. The story is detailed and descriptive, bringing the world alive. I think the book is definitely worth the read and I will be looking forward to more books from this author.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Releasing the Demons by L.D. Rose a four-star read that will hold you tight. This is the first book in the order of the senary series and it shows certain promise that we will be getting a great series. This will suck you into a world where what goes bump in the night its an intense roller-coaster of emotional reading that will suck you in, wring you out and leave you the other side. Blaze was darkly delicious and tasty in all the right ways, its clear that his history is troublesome and not something he wants to deal with, but in some ways that just makes him that much deeper of a character. Valerie was great person and together they face a hard time and you will be sat on the edge of your seat waiting to hear what they will do next. Overall a great read and I for one cant wait to sink my teeth into the next chapter.

Releasing the DemonsReleasing the Demons by L.D. Rose
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Releasing The Demons (Order of the Senary) by LD Rose is a great example of a dystopian fantasy book.
Blaze and Valerie should be the last thing each of them wants. Blaze because of his past and the scars it has left him with. Valerie because the death of her sister and the mission it provides her. However these are also the very reasons why they need each other.
The same thing has destroyed their lives – vampires. Vampires if responsible for causing each of them pain. Responsible for tearing them apart. And with one of them determined to hunt down Blaze, the two of them need to work together to put an end to their nightmares.
But can each of them overcome what has happened? Can Valerie get over her distaste for the supernatural? Can Blaze overcome his trusts issues after the torture he has suffered. It might be the only chance for them both to move on.

This is the first book I have read by this author but it certainly won’t be the last. The book had me hooked right from the word go. I was so intrigued by Blaze and everything that had happened to him. And for him to be pursued yet again by his tormentors, I just couldn’t wait to see what would happen. And Valerie was the perfect fit with his character. Everything about them worked so well. I loved the authors writing style, the way the words completely painted the picture in my mind of what was happening. This was a great way to discover a new author and I am excited to read more.

Small Town Hero (Small Town Brides, #1)Small Town Hero by Kim Koby
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Small Town Hero by Kim Koby is the first book in her Small Town Brides series. This book will make you fall so deeply for the characters you will wish you could read about them forever.
Rebecca has everything she could possibly want. That is until she catches her fiancé in bed with her best friend. Unable to continue on with her life as it is she flees, desperate to get away.
Which is when she meets Ryan. He is broken thanks to his own troubles past. That tends to be what happens when your girlfriend walks away from you when you propose.
Drawn to each other neither one knows if they will be able to put their grief behind them and move on. But surely they have to try. And with their connection there has never been a better time.

I absolutely loved Rebecca and Ryan. There was something about both of them that just had me falling so deep into heir story. I hoped and prayed they would find a way to make things work. I kept everything crossed that they would be able to move on with each other. Their story was so convincing and easy to easy about. The authors writing style kept the story flowing so well. This isn’t an author I have read before but I will definitely be looking at in the future!

This is the first book I have read by this author and in I’m ecstatic I did!!! I was captivated from the start and this story kept me entertained throughout its entirety. I loved the chemistry between Charli and Blake. Oh how I wish I had a grandpa like Charli’s. There is plenty of action while these two are protecting a teenager named Alicia, who is troubled herself. I don’t want to give anything away but this book is a must read. There was so much emotion throughout this wonderfully told story.I haven’t read the other books in this series and I had no problem following what was going on, so you don’t need to have read the others, but after reading this I am definitely going to go read the others in this series. This book is that good that I am now a forever fan of this author!! I highly recommend reading this book.

Transformations: The Shifter Series: Volume One (The Shifters Book 1)
By Cari Schaeffer
I really enjoyed reading this book. I think it was very well thought out and had wonderful detail. I think the emotions that Katherine was going through about wanting to be normal and fit in like most teenagers is an emotion that most teenagers and adults can relate to. Katherine and her family are pretty close and protective of each other. When Christopher comes into their lives they aren’t sure if they can or should trust him, because he is part of a family that has been their enemy for a very long time. This book kept me enthralled and entertained. There are plenty of different emotions throughout this story and they all flow so well. I found that I liked this author’s writing style and I will definitely be reading more books by this author, especially the next book in this series. I have been sucked in now and I need to know what happens next!! I recommend this book for all ages I believe everyone can enjoy it as I have.

By Mimi Barbour
Rated 5 stars

This is a very good story! It drew me in from the beginning and didn’t let go. I loved the suspense, the thrill and the fun. While this has a bunch of characters the main ones take the stage. Charli is one kick butt agent! She impressed me numerous times throughout the story. She is very strong and a bit hard. Also the love she has for her Poppa John was something I could feel when she saw and talked to him. Blake is a womanizer. I really didn’t give him much credit especially after the airport scene. As the story moved forward he slowly crawled under my skin. By the end I was as enamored with him as the girls. The main comedic/relief was Poppa John. He made everyone look at themselves a bit different and has some good stories. He really helped pull this away from being too serious. The girls were just sweethearts. Lonely and alone they blossomed when they had someone love them.

This is not a first time author for me. But this is the first in this series and I really didn’t know what I was missing. Now I do and as this is the 6th book in the series i see i have others to read. Thanks for a fun, entertaining and easy to read story.

Summer Fling is hot right from page one! It simmers down a bit as these two take a step back and start from the beginning, but the love scenes are definitely worth a look! Emma and Royce both have been unlucky when it comes to past relationships, and Emma is hesitant but not, like, over the top about staying away from dating. I liked that she was willing to open up. Royce is sweet and sincere and ROMANTIC. I really enjoyed this, it just flowed well, held my interest, and I didn’t want to put it down.

He’s a genetically engineered hybrid and his mission is to protect humanity. Valerie is a detective out to combat vampires because of what happened to her sister.

Casstiel; Born of Lightning: Dragon Shifter (Dragonkind ~ 52 Realms)Casstiel; Born of Lightning: Dragon Shifter by Sheri-Lynn Marean
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Casstiel is the second book in the DragonKind~ 52 Realms series by Sheri-Lynn Marean. This is my first novel by this author.

Nine years after his mate Maya is killed, Casstiel is still walking the Earth but filled with anger wishing to join his mate. He seems oblivion but it eludes him.

“I’m dying, yet I live without you.”

His main focus now is to destroy enemy and find whatever he is searching for.

“No, he’d not stop until they were all burned to ash and scattered to Tartaria’s four corners. Or, until he found what he was looking for.”

What Cass leases expects is the what he is searching for is not a thing but a person and this person is not only his enemy but she is also what is tying him here. She may very well be able to bring him back from himself.

I love paranormal romances with it being one of my favorite genres. I do not read dragon shifters very much but I really enjoyed this.

I love when males find love again after losing a mate and being able to move forward instead of being stuck in the depression and finding someone that help them move forward.

I will have to read more by this author as well as more dragon shifter novels.

Casstiel; Born of Lightning: Dragon Shifter (Dragonkind ~ 52 Realms)Casstiel; Born of Lightning: Dragon Shifter by Sheri-Lynn Marean
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I enjoy dragon stories very much. This is book 2 in a series and I was a little lost at times trying to follow the family tree as the story is being told. I had to muddle through the lines to figure out who was who in this large family. Once I was able to work it all out, I settled in to a decent read.

The two main characters in this book are so similar yet so different. Each ignore their base needs because they think their destiny is elsewhere. The male protagonist is kind of a jerk. The female protagonist is stronger than she even realizes and it was interesting to see the two co-mingle and work out their skeletons.

This is a very visually appealing story. At times I felt myself flying through the air and looking at the ground below just like the characters. The world building is interesting and I can see how this series can continue on for many books to come.

If you are a fan of this style fiction, I would absolutely recommend this book.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Degrees of Innocence was a great 5 star read and book #1 in the Prestian Series.

Katarina is getting ready to start a big project. While spending some time at the resort waiting for the meetings to start she ends up meeting a very handsome man, Chase. She spends several days with Chase and they are both equally attracted to each other. Problem is, Chase has a little secret. What will Katarina do when she finds out who Chase really is?

During the first day of planning Katarina is shocked to see Chase come walking into the room. When she discovers who he really is, things come crashing down on her. How will it ever work between them now?

Chase is determined to be with her and will make it work no matter what. As these two move forward they have some very hot and steamy scenes. These two have such great chemistry. I really liked both Chase and Katarina. I was pulled right in by their story and didn’t want to stop until I was done. This is my first read from Via Mari and I loved it, I can’t wait to get my hands on the next book in the series and the author.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Special Agent Charli (Undercover FBI Book 6) by Mimi Barbour is the first book I’ve read by this author. It was fantastic.

I enjoyed the way the characters were set up. There is obviously something that has happened to “Charli” in the past and yet I didn’t feel slighted not knowing exactly what it was because of the way the story unfolded. There is no question as to who the good guys and the bad guys are in this story. In addition to the mystery of the story (nothing like a good witness protection story) I also loved the overall message of the story that EVERYONE is worthy to be loved. The younger characters really pulled at my heart strings and I hope they get their own story in the future. I bet they go on to do amazing things in this world.

The story moves along quickly, I was able to read it in one sitting and while it had some steamy parts, there weren’t so many that it made them gratuitous. The word count in the story is perfect. It was a great book to snuggle down with on a chilly Sunday afternoon (it was a beautiful sunny afternoon and I should have been outside, but the book was soooo good that I didn’t want to put it down.)

The dedication of the story and knowing that one of the characters is modeled after such an important person made me smile and wish I had such a relationship in my life.

I will begin “following” the author to see what other stories they have written. 5 stars for an enjoyable book.

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

Georgia Pine by KG Fletcher is book three of the Southern Promises series. This book can be read as a standalone but the first two books are so good you should just read them too. This book is Tim and Jessica’s story and I couldn’t put it down until I read the whole thing.

Jessica pictured her life being a certain way and a divorce is not what she pictured. As she’s coming to terms with what that means for her and her young children, Tim walks into her life and forges a bong with her and her daughters that she certainly wasn’t expecting. Jessica doesn’t realize though that Tim has a secret and isn’t necessarily who she thinks he is. Tim knows he needs to tell Jessica the truth but life has been much easier living where no one knows his true identity. He knows they are growing closer which only reaffirms what he knows he needs to do. Can Tim trust Jessica? Can they each open their hearts to something that might be great for them?

I absolutely loved this book. I loved witnessing the bond Tim was forming with Jessica’s daughters. I wasn’t expecting some of the events in the book but it just made it that much better. This book may have been my favorite of the whole series!

Degrees of Innocence (Prestian Series, #1)Degrees of Innocence
By: Via Mari
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Degrees of Innocence (Prestian Series #1) was a okay read, with hot smut, mystery, danger, that hooked me enough to want to read more.

My first read by this author and this series; I was in shacky territory because though I like romance books, with smut, I’m not into the erotica genres. This was way out of my comfort zone, and though I liked it enough to follow the series, I’m still not all that into that hard core erotica. You might find this funny, but I find it boring.. yeah I know, I’m weird. But I this book did a great job at spacing the scenes and with the compelling complex plot, the twist and turns and the unraveling mystery, it keeps you hooked and for me, kept me engaged in the story as a whole.

As for our MC’s, well, they did have some good character development, and I did like they why they were written, but at times I felt like I was reading characters I’ve met before. Same with the dynamics between the two, don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying they were bad, just that, they were too familiar. Maybe instead of having a billionaire male MC who is the boss, and the female MC that is you know, sort of well off, but not in that rich world, and gets introduced and all. How about a more realticable character, like someone in the middle class-ish. I just feel that the power dynamics are always the same, and a little overdone.

But the true star of this story is the mystery/danger that seems to be following our female MC. The little interconnecting details, the twist, the reveal. That was the highlight for me, and is what kept me reading. Because though we get a shocker of a opening, and a event that causes our MC’s to meets, the pace gets a little slow, but looking back now, as I start to fully connect, makes sense.

Overall this book was a pretty okay read. It’s good to read outside your comfort zone sometimes, and if you’re like me and what to venture out, then I suggest giving this book a try. It has my stamp of approval and my recommendation.

Happy Reading

Oh My!! Where to start…I went in to this story completely blind and had no idea what I was in for and what I was about to read. Again all I can say is Oh My!!

This is my 2nd read by this author and I really enjoyed the first book I read but this one was so different and if there is a named feeling or emotion I’m pretty sure I felt it somewhere in reading this story…Had my mind all messed up and has me still thinking about it a day later. That in my opinion is how books find their way into one of my favorite folders.

I’m not going to go into much more about the book itself..I went in totally blind and read the author’s synopsis after I finished, just know that once you pick this up and begin on page 1 you will not want to put it down, and Colbie **sigh** she is now and will forever be one of my favorite female leads, I absolutely can not wait to read this book again, and I’m pretty sure I’ll say the same thing no matter how many times I reread.

This was an amazing book, and I highly recommend it and actually already have to a few that I know would completely appreciate the beautiful writing style and talent this author has.

Many thank yous to this author for touching my heart in 242 pages.

This is a suspenseful romantic story, with a twist of adventure.

After all she is an adult, soul don’t she be allowed to love who she wants? Now she is stuck with keeping the secret or facing the music. Oh and let’s throw in some suspense and you have a story.

Casstiel; Born of Lightning: Dragon Shifter by Sheri-Lynn Marean – Review by Michelle Austin

Casstiel; Born of Lightning: Dragon Shifter (Dragonkind ~ 52 Realms)Casstiel; Born of Lightning: Dragon Shifter by Sheri-Lynn Marean
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Casstiel was a good 4 star read.
This is my first read from Sheri-Lynn Marean and I was pleasantly surprised. This isn’t a genre that I usually read but Casstiel and Ashara pulled me right in with their story.

Casstiel lost his mate 10 years ago and before she died she severed their bond so he couldn’t follow her. Heartbroken and not understanding why, he goes through several stages of anger. He has also discovered that he is connected to another person and until that connection is severed he won’t be able to join his mate. Who could it be and why? Casstiel gets a shock when the person he’s been searching for walks into his life in a very unexpected time.

Ashara was held captive by the enemy several years, she was treated horribly and was kept as a breeder. She had several children that were taken from her. She is also a dragon shifter but has hidden it for years. Casstiel welcomes Ashara into his home and as they get to know each other their connection grows stronger.

Can Casstiel finally get what he’s wanted for years” Or will his connection to Ashara take over?

There is so much more to this story. My emotions were all over the place. The secondary characters were great. Casstiel’s daughter eventually grew on me, she was a little testy in the beginning. I really liked how Casstiel helped Ashara shift into her dragon and work with her. Even though he was a testy hot alpha male he still had a pretty big heart also. I was happy with the ending and I look forward to reading more from these characters.

The Boss (Fire's Edge, #1)The Boss by Abigail Owen
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

5 Stars

The Boss is the first exciting story in the Fire’s Edge series by Abigail Owen. If this book is anything to go by, this series is not only off to an amazing start, but is also set to be phenomenal. This is a dragon shifter story with a difference- it has its own original and unique spin on dragon shifters that makes this story stand apart from others in the same genre. This is a wonderful paranormal romance, that also has an action-packed, sexy and suspenseful story woven through it. The story pulled me in right from the beginning and I became completely invested in the characters and the outcome of their story. I couldn’t have put it down, even if I had wanted to- my need to find out how everything played out had me devouring the whole book in one afternoon- and I absolutely loved it!!! This may be my first read from Ms. Owen, but it most certainly won’t be my last, as I have already gone back to one-click more of her works for me to enjoy. I really can’t wait to see where this series goes and discover more about these brilliant characters!!
Delaney Hamilton has moved across the country hoping for a fresh start, finding a great job co-managing a beautiful vineyard/winery and a place to stay. But her hopes of leaving the past behind are shattered when the fires that were plaguing her in Vermont start up again. She contemplates moving again, but decides that she’s done running, as it didn’t seem to work, anyway. Waking up with a fire burning all around her is a scary and confusing situation to find herself in. and what she doesn’t realise is when the sexy firefighters arrive to douse the fire, her world as she knew it is about to change, forever!
Finn Conleth and his crew were working in the area when they get alerted to a fire burning at the winery. They arrive on scene to put out the flames but find so much more than they bargained for. Finn is haunted by a traumatic experience, losing his mate in the process. This hardened his heart and made him vow never to take another mate, as he couldn’t endure any more pain. He is the leader of the Huracán’s – who are a crack team Enforcers who tackle any trouble caused by dragons, especially fires. The last thing that Finn expects when they arrive at the latest fire is to find someone who not only threatens his heart, but who also sparks his protective nature. He knows there is much more to her story and what has been happening to her- and he’s determined to get to the bottom of it all. But danger is stalking Delaney which soon threatens everything he values. Will he get to the bottom of it all? Can he keep them all safe? Will Delaney help him regain the part of himself he’d lost all those years ago? What does the future hold for these two?
This story was so much more than what I was expecting- from the incredible storytelling and wonderfully written tale, to the complex and lovingly crafted characters, then there were more than a few heart-in-my-mouth moments that had me scrambling to get answers, as well as some incredibly sexy and smokin’ hot scenes that left sizzle marks on the pages- making this book everything I could ask for and more! It’s emotional, touching, romantic, sweet, and HOT- a ‘Must Read’!!
I highly recommend this book and Ms. Owen! I can’t wait to get my hands on the rest of this series!!!

Thank you, Ms. Owen!!
