The Flip (Romance in Rehoboth Book 2) by K.L. Montgomery a sweet romance story that is an easy, light and enjoyable read. The characters are fun and engaging and will make you laugh out loud and make your heart flutter. The story is told from their different POV’s which gave it more of that pop factor.

Her word building of the characters and the world in which they live have you imagining each and every vibrant piece by piece to make the story a whole. K.L. is one author that should always be on your read list as her stories are easy and connective and just the right amount of bite size to keep you satisfied.

Flirt (What Happens on Campus – Book 2) By M.L. Sparrow – Review by Melissa Agena

Flirt: A College Romance (What Happens on Campus #2)Flirt: A College Romance by M.L. Sparrow
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

What a great story! Flirt is the second book in the What Happens on Campus series by M.L. Sparrow. You can read this book as a standalone but I would recommend that you read this in sequence. So this story follows Riley and her journey with loss of a career, addiction and finding who she is. This story also follows Cameron. The boy that has been in love with Riley since he could remember. While Riley goes through her tough times she comes to find love with Cameron. Cameron really helps her with her growth and shows her what true love means. Riley was headed on her way to the Olympics as a gymnast when she hurt herself and wasn’t able to continue her career. So she decided to go to college with her twin sister. Those two couldn’t be any different! But college wasn’t all that it was cracked up to be. Riley met a guy who introduced her to all kinds of addictions. This story was definitely a roller coaster but thankfully one that has a HEA. There weren’t too many sexy scenes. This story didn’t need a whole lot of them. But the ones that were there were pretty steamy. Addiction is difficult for anyone, even a rich girl that had huge aspirations. But its how you deal with it that counts and that’s what this book is all about. I can’t wait to read the next book in the series. I would recommend this series to anyone!

The Twins: The Complete Trilogy by R.G. Miller – Review by Shannon Fowler

The Twins (The Twins #1-3)The Twins by R.G. Miller
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is my first book/series by R.G. Miller and let me tell you this: The Twins Trilogy is NOT and I repeat is NOT a romance story. Oh there’s love in this story, the love of an officer for her job, the love of death and destruction. But as for romance there is zilch. I say this only because if you are looking at my other reviews you will see I read romance, dark, sweet, historical, erotic, romance.

This trilogy is an amazing, action packed, on your toes, hide under the covers, psychotic murder mystery.

The first book introduces us to the twins, Stacey and Jannifer McHill. They are innocent 13 year old girls on the verge of a horrific discovery. The second book continues where the first left off with more twists and turns. The third and final story gives us the conclusion that we need. Every feeling is included in this trilogy. Tears, fears and hopefulness fill these stories. All three of these stories are fast paced, full of details and well worth the read! The characters are amazing and interesting. I can not wait to read more from this author.

Flirt: A College Romance (What Happens on Campus #2)Flirt: A College Romance by M.L. Sparrow
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Flirt is the second book in the What Happens on Campus series by M.L. Sparrow. This book picks up around where Player left off, but this book can be read as a standalone (recommend reading Player). Riley is a little lost after losing her gymnastics career and wanted to try the college life. Well, she tried the wrong college life – drinking, drugs dealer “boyfriend” and sleeping around. Cameron is your typical good guy; he loves math and science, doesn’t drink much and go to church. Cameron has always been in love with Riley since they somewhat grow up together. Riley needed someone to put her on the right track before something really bad happened but is Cameron the right person and why is Riley really acting like this?

I really liked this book; Riley and Cameron were just the right balance for each other. At times I couldn’t believe that Riley was so selfish and didn’t think of anyone else. I wanted to smack her friends for waiting so long to do something about it. But I guess you have to let someone fall before you help to pick them up.

I’m looking forward to the next book but I have a feeling I’m not going to like what happened to Terri. A box of tissue will be on standby.

Fur VeronaFur Verona by Gwyn McNamee
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Gwyn McNamee’s Fur Verona is a well written paranormal romance. This story takes a spin of a story old as time and its done with tasteful flare. The scenes are set, the characters are cast, and the plot is to die for. The author has woven her magical writing talent through and through within this novel. Rome and Jules are both strong independent characters. Add them together and it’s one climatic
combination! This story was addictive and I could not put it down. Gwyn McNamee did a fantastic job with her character development, inclusive of the underlying theme of the story. Combined with the dialogue and drama, it was a match made in heaven!

IntentionalIntentional by M.K. Harkins
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Intentional is the first novel in the Intentional series by M.K. Harkins. This is my first novel by this author.

Newly engaged Mattie Taylor is happy with Jeremy, preparing for their wedding but with only a month before the big day, she finds him in a composing position.

She packs up her things and moves to Mercer Island and starts new life for herself. While there, she meets Cade and starts to feel happiness again even though she still has feelings for Jeremy.

But when Jeremy re-enters her life, will she be able to listen to her and trust that things were not what they appear or she will move on with Cade?

I knew from the premise that I was going to enjoy this book, but I wasn’t prepared for how much. I finished this one sitting and I can’t wait to read the next book.

I was confused by the beginning at first because I expected to get right into the story but instead we got an introduction to the characters and their professions as well as how Jeremy and Mattie meet and grow close. We also get a glimpse of Mattie’s friendship with Sarah.

I will admit, I didn’t see that revelation though I was right on part of it, but it was a real shocking. Mattie talking to Cade at the hospital had me tears while I was reading at work.

I look forward to reading the next book.

The Portal Prophecies Volume 1 by C. A. King – Review by Erin Davidson

The Portal Prophecies Volume I (The Portal Prophecies Volumes Book 1)The Portal Prophecies Volume I by C.A. King
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

“I wanted to create a world other people could escape to. I wanted to share the place that had helped me for many years.” C. A King
You definitely succeeded! I just want to firstly say, how amazing and imaginative the world C. A King created is. Volume 1 of the Portal Prophecies series, is the first 3 books in C.A King’s epic series that follows Willow and her friends as they attempt to save our world and every other realm in between. Without spoiling books 2 and 3, the first focuses on Willow and her journey of self-discovery, after realizing that her small slice of life is a speck of dust in a much larger universe. After uncovering a secret temple hidden in the woods, and finding a large tome of prophecies that predict the end of life as she knows it.
Overall I loved the series and the magic system that was woven throughout the novels. The only irk I had, was that Willow seemed to be all powerful without many weaknesses, besides her friends and being somewhat vulnerable to a certain enemy’s charms. I still really loved all the individual characters and all their unique powers. I’m super jealous of Nathan’s powers; oh man, if I had that ability, I’d be unstoppable. I also loved the way the characters interacted with each other, and how much of a family they were to one another. It honestly warmed my heart. As well as when Willow was introduced to such mundane things. It reminded me of Starfire from Teen Titans, and how curious she is about our world and all the magic it contains.
This series is perfect for fans of X-men, or Teen Titans, as well as Avatar: The Last Airbender. As it’s a perfect blend of light-hearted moments, and serious sitting-on-the-edge-of-your-seat-and-chewing-your-nails-off moments. As well as fantastic characters and imaginative world building. Absolutely loved it! 5/5 stars

Knights Who Broke My Heart ( Knights, #3)Knights Who Broke My Heart by Sonya Jesus
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Sonya Jesus’ Knights Who Broke My Heart is the third in the Knights series; this new adult/college romantic suspense picks up where the previous book finished. This series/book is all about the suspense and how the drama circles key main characters throughout. The author does a fantastic job on leading these characters around one another while. There are so many twists and turns I am not quite sure where this story is finally going to end, but the ride the author is taking us on in the meantime is worthwhile and such an enjoyable one at that. Lia just cannot seem to find her footing, just when she thinks she’s got it something else comes. At times, I don’t know whether to like her or be disappointed in her. I have a love/hate relationship with her. Add in all the men that cannot seem to stay away from her, she’s like the magical unicorn! This has been a great series so far and I’m looking forward to seeing what’s in store in the next book.

Intentional (Intentional Series Book #1) by M.K. Harkins – Review by Angela Hayes

Intentional is the first book in the Intentional series by M.K Harkins. This author continues to surprise me with every book. I have read all her books now and I have loved every single one. She has proven that she can write anything and do so incredibly well. This book won me over from the first few pages, I was pulled into the story, engrossed by what I was reading and couldn’t have put the story down- even if I had wanted to. I needed to know what would happen and read the book in one sitting- just to find out how everything ended.

The characters are superb, really well developed and fully realised individuals with their own personalities, quirks and flaws. They are really likeable and endearing- or completely unhinged and detestable as in the case of one particular character- but being able to sway her readers to either love or hate a character, just proves what a supremely talented author Ms. Harkins really is!

There is a lot going on in this story- and more to the story and characters than might first meet the eye. I loved discovering all the details, devouring the story, and just loved everything about it.

Mattie Parker is a 23-year-old graphic designer who has just moved to Sedona with her best friend Sarah, who is a lawyer and had just been hired by one of the top firms in the area. The girls are looking forward to a bright future. When Mattie meets Sarah’s boss, Jeremy, for the first time, sparks fly- but his reputation as a ladies man makes her wary. But, he’s determined to get to know her, and as they spend more time together Mattie genuinely believes his reputation to be nothing more than rumours. They cement their love by getting engaged- planning their future together. Mattie couldn’t be any happier. Then her world is shattered by the worst betrayal imaginable. Broken and alone Mattie can barely function- she has trouble getting through her days, wallowing in her grief and heartbreak. She decides she needs a fresh start, moving to Mercer Island to hopefully begin again. There is no way she will allow herself to ever fall in love again, or to open herself up to any more pain and heartache- she doesn’t think she would survive it. When a sexy, mysterious stranger rescues her after she’s fallen into a river, she can’t help feeling drawn to him. But she isn’t capable of anything more than friendship. But Cade is patient, kind and caring- he’s slowly dismantling her defences with his nerdy engineer by day- and sexy, charismatic rocker by night personas. She has finally found some peace and new-found happiness- when Jeremy crashes back into her life….. bringing chaos and danger with him. What happens you may ask? Well I don’t want to spoil all the riveting details, so I recommend that you read all the exciting developments for yourself- you really won’t be disappointed!!!

This story had me hook line and sinker!!! I was devouring the pages to discover what would happen next!! This has definitely become one of my favourite books of Ms. Harkins! I have already started the next book, as I couldn’t wait to see where the story leads.

Brilliant!!!

 

Thank you, Ms. Harkins!!

Knights Who Broke My Heart is the third exciting instalment in the Knights series by Sonya Jesus. This book took the story, the characters, the suspense, the intrigue, the intensity…. and ramped it up by several notches. Right from the beginning, my head was spinning with possibilities and questions that I needed the answers to. I have followed this story and the characters, right from the beginning- and what a journey it has been. The whole way, Ms. Jesus kept the pressure on and kept me clambering for more. This story is a continuation from the previous two books, so if you haven’t read them, I highly recommend that you do- because you need all that information to fully appreciate and understand the events, character motivations etc in this book. This story has so much mystery, a drama, angst, danger, violence, sinister intent, schemes, the creepy (stalker) factor, obsession, intrigue, romance, and sooooo much more. I have really enjoyed the series so far, but this book is definitely my pick of the bunch, so far.

Once again, we join Lia and follow along as all the action unfolds. With Connor out of the picture, Aiden seems to be winning her heart. Lia thinks she finally knows what she wants… But does she, really? I didn’t think I liked Aiden, but he kind of won me over in this story. I am still firmly #teamRobbins though and have been the whole way through the series. Then add Hawk to the mix and the story really catches fire. Then, OMG- that ending!!!!!! My heart!!!! It had my anxiety going through the roof. My mind is whirling with scenarios and what-the-fudges! I CAN’T WAIT to dive into the next book to find out what happens……..

As I discovered in the last book/s and again in this one- the author has a strong, detailed and descriptive style- she’s able to easily build the intensity and tension in her storyline by manoeuvring the plot to suit any and every situation. She created lots of intrigue, excitement, and lots of questions- by building the anticipation to an all-time high- she really kept me guessing the whole way through.

This is a gripping story of obsession of the worst kind. Ms. Jesus built the tension and suspense exceptionally well. I was flipping the pages, immersed in the story and trying to figure out what I would find on every page, or around the next corner.

Book four, the finale to the series, can’t come quickly enough for me! That sneak peek at the end of this book- O.  M. G!!! I have to know!!! I can’t wait!

 

Thank you, Ms. Jesus!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Drawing Strength From Words: A Four Horsemen Novel by C. A. King is a five star novel. I fell in love with this author when I read a different series of hers. I am so thankful I decided to pick up this series next! This is book two in the Four Horsemen series. I think it is imperative to read the first novel before reading this one because it gives so much more to the story than what we get just from this one. These novels are so action packed and information rich that I was able to read in one sitting. This is saying s lot for me because I do read slowly even though I love to read. We are first introduced to the Four Horsemen in the first book, Flower Shields, and find out they are siblings, and not all male. This book brings focus to Gabby and what she can bring to the table to defeat the devils that appear. I highly recommend this book.

Georgia Pine is the third book in the Southern Promises series by K.G. Fletcher. Every book in this series just keeps getting better than the last. You briefly meet Jessica in Georgia Clay and got a quick glimpse into Jessica’s life in Georgia on My Mind and I excited to find out that the next book would be her story. I loved everything about Tim and Jessica’s story; he is the perfect gentleman for this Southern Belle. From their first meeting in the pantry, Tim was meant to loved and take care of these five girls. The way Tim cherished Jessica and loved her adorable four girls melted my heart. Some parts of this story reminded me of my step-father coming into my life and being the father that I needed.

I had the ability to read Intentional by M.K. Harkins. Let’s just say that I was impressed with the authors’ ability to create a beautiful – yet painful world.

We get to meet Mattie – a woman who thinks she has everything she needs, until she finds out about her fiancé’s betrayal. I think it hurt the most knowing that their love came from such a young age. I was intrigued with the way in which the story flowed and developed. I sat on the edge of my seat, waiting to see what decisions each character would make. I definitely enjoyed this book, and am excited to see what the author will do next. This was a definite 4 Star Book for me!

Deal Takers, by Laura Lee, is the second book within the Dealing with Love series. This story was light, fun and a pleasure to read. It had laughs and seriousness in the right places creating a solidly round story. Laura Lee was talented in the method she utilizes in sharing this story, it was just so sweet, endearing, but emotionally touching too. I really liked Brody and Rainey’s characters. This romantic comedy was perfectly blended start to finish; I do like how the author overlaps characters between books within this series. You can read this book as a standalone separate from the series. Overall, my favorite character was Brody. Despite his “childishness” throughout parts of the story, he had staying power. Definitely a character that takes note and strikes something inside of the reader.

Lillie is the third book of the Maggie series by Mya O’Malley. It Follows on from Maggie (Book #1) and Naomi (Book #2). It could be read as a standalone, but having said that, there are aspects of the story that follow through the series, and I feel that you would benefit from reading all the books, in sequence, to have the best possible reading experience with this story.  It is a fantastic paranormal story, with intrigue, suspense, drama, choices, changes, history, a gift, emotions, danger, destiny, promises, visions, love, and mystery. I have really loved reading this series and can’t believe the trilogy has come to an end. Ms. O’Malley certainly saved the best till last with this book- my favourite of the series. I am a little sad that this is the final book- but also hopeful of a spin-off series that Ms. O’Malley hints at in her wrap up.

We met Naomi back in book one and have watched her on her journey through the two books- she has been through quite a lot over the course of the series and I felt this story really tested her. As we discovered in book one, Naomi can see and hear spirits who flock to her for help in finding some closure. This means her life is anything but ‘normal’. She and Bryce have recently gotten married and Naomi had hoped to have some ‘spirit’ free time to enjoy married life. But that’s not to be, and she soon finds herself in a challenging situation. Her adorable step-daughter Holly has a new friend, Lillie- whose presence will set off a chain of events that make this story unputdownable. There will be much to learn, choices to make, a puzzle to unravel, and a destiny to fulfill. This book really is worth the read!

This book/series is quite original, well crafted, and superbly written. I had to find out what would happen, reading the whole book in one sitting. As I have come to expect from this talented author, Ms. O’Malley added some surprising developments into the story that I didn’t see coming, which certainly held my attention! I loved the way Ms. O’Malley wrapped up the story, it was a perfect way to end the book/series.

I can’t wait to see what she does next!

 

Thank you, Ms. O’Malley!

This is not my first book by Knapp and it will not be my last. If you like stories with sweet hometown characters, stories with simple yet heart felt problems, then you need to read the Parker Lake Series. Unlikely to Stay is book 3 in the series and it is the story of CC and Brant. CC is the hometown Beauty Salon owner while Brant is the newest most eligible bachelor in town. However, Brant is only in town to serve a 3-year internship. This is another cute sweet story that will makes Ashliee Knapp a certifiable one-click author! If you have not read any of her books you could very easily pick this one to start with. There is some back story told about CC’s friends which are books 1 and 2 in this series but each book is about a new couple. The other stories are a must read as well. I don’t think there is any one thing that I love about this book, it is just an over all good story. I can definitely recommend this story to readers young and old alike.

Caught In A Lie (The Marcy Series Book 6)Caught In A Lie by Linda Burson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

 

Caught in a Lie is the sixth book in the Marcy Series by Linda Burson. This series contains a continuing storyline that bridges from one book to the next, so if you haven’t the previous books the series, I really recommend that you do because otherwise it may be a little confusing if you don’t have all the relevant information. As I said in my last review, this series has hooked me and made me want to find out what will happen next, Ms. Burson is a brilliant storyteller and the more books I read in this series and the way it continues to evolve, the more impressed I am of her as an author and at just how fantastic this book/entire series really is.
As with the previous book, this story has secrets, shocks, emotions, a love triangle/three-way, interesting family/relationship dynamics, romance, suspense, drama, tension, dilemmas, and a bit of revenge. Marcy, Brad and Liam are complex, yet endearing individuals who have easily drawn me into their tale, making me emotionally invested in them and the outcome of their story. The story is written in such a way that it is believable, exploring some interesting situations that can occur in relationships. The character situations and their interactions are believable, realistic and relatable. Ms. Burson still makes her characters ‘work’ for their happiness- while she also throws in a few twists and interesting developments that had my mind whirling trying to figure out where the story would lead next.
Bring on the next book! I can’t wait!

Thank you, Ms. Burson!

Omg! This series just keeps getting better with every book this author writes. This book was amazing! You need to read this series. The story picks up where the last book ended. Amelia still has no clue about her stalker. He is closing in, getting her to trust him even more. Yet his plans are unraveling somewhat. Although Lis is clueless about many things, she grows tremendously in this novel. It was nice to see her come I to her own and be more confident and comfortable in her own skin.

I have always loved Robins from day one and wanted Amelia and him to be together. In this story, Aiden Keys plays a bigger role and I really like him. I don’t know who I’d rather her be with. I’m so confused. There were so many things that happened in this story that kept me on the edge of my seat. What a page turner! It ended in such a way that left me shocked with my mouth hanging open. You have got to read this book, I highly recommend it.

Lillie (Maggie Trilogy Series Book 3)Lillie by Mya O’Malley
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Lillie by Mya O’Malley is the last instalment in the Maggie Trilogy series and does not disappoint, it is full of the mystery and suspense of the other books but concludes this great series.

The story continues on with Bryce, Naomi and Holly,where Naomi has sold her house and moved in with Bryce but his houses holds secrets too.

Naomi hears a strange crying and goes to investigate but uncovers secrets from her past which she needs to uncover to move on.

I have loved theses stories and great characters, the riches of the story draws you into the book where you are so involved you need feel you have to finish just the page, then chapter and before you know it you have read the book. The story is well written and you will enjoy all the characters not just the living.

I am sad that this is the last book within this series but what a great book to finish on, I can’t wait to see what new series or other books this author writes because as they are on my list of must read authors.

Two Hearts In Accord (Two Hearts Wounded Warrior Romance Book 7)

by Tamara Ferguson

5 Stars

I love this series, I always know when I open up another book by this author that it will make me feel good and this one was no exception. I will admit though that reading them all so far apart I get a bit confused with names which is why I can’t wait someday in the near future to take a weekend and read every one of them back to back.

Two people who meet and have a connection yet are both loyal to the connections they are already involved in move forward in their duties separately and both end up injured while taking part in special missions near Iraq, him losing a leg and her her arm. They both end up back in one of my favorite places Crystal Rock, Wisconsin to both participate in a program retraining wounded warriors, both of them as instructors.

Both of them have been hurt by the same prior relationships that had kept them apart years earlier and have now swore off long term relationships, but the connection they both felt is still there and when they come together to help protect a woman who is convinced her husband is trying to kill her they find they have more in common they they thought. Can these break down the walls they each have built and find happiness?

This was another feel good story and I can not wait for the next …There’s a lot more to Claire’s story I think and I can’t wait to read about her and a few others.

Awesome!! Loved It!!

Fur Verona by Gwyn McNamee – Review by Angela Hayes

Fur VeronaFur Verona by Gwyn McNamee
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

 

Fur Verona by Gwyn McNamee is her brilliant take on ‘Romeo and Juliet’. This has a brilliant paranormal twist on the classic tale- and is full of wonder, intrigue, suspense, danger, passion, chemistry, romance, drama, and mystery. Ms. McNamee packs quite a memorable punch with this sexy action-packed tale. There is so much more to the story than I first suspected, but then I really shouldn’t have expected anything less from such a talented author.
We meet Jules Capshaw and Rome Montreux whose families have been feuding for the past 25 years. This long-heated feud has caused tensions between the packs to run at an all time high. The mistrust, anger, resentment, pain and heartache which boils between the two families is set to bubble over at any moment. So, when strange things begin to happen, and threats appear on each of their territories- they can’t help but blame the other side. But when Rome sneaks into a Capshaw party on a fact-finding mission, his world is turned upside down when he lays eyes on the gorgeous Jules. They soon realise that there is no getting away from their powerful attraction and overwhelming feelings for one another. But with their families embroiled in such bitter rivalry, will they ever find a way to be together? Add in the dangerous threat to both sides, and this story gets really exciting. Who is behind the threats and why? What happens when danger comes calling? Will Rome and Jules figure it out before it’s too late? Or will this be the end for them, both?
This story is just so good- I loved every minute! I got to the end and didn’t want to leave! I wanted more!!! Not because the story was lacking, but because it is just sooooo freaking good!! I wanted to stay in Verona and read more about the characters! Not just about Jules and Rome- but about Marc, Lio, Paris, Rose- and the rest. I really hope this won’t be the last we see of Verona. Hint Hint Hint Ms. McNamee ?
The tension, suspense, drama, mystery, and intrigue in this story was so on point! She had me on the edge of my seat wondering what would happen next. And even though this is Ms. McNamee’s take on an old classic that I know so well, she still managed to make it exciting and entirely unpredictable!
Ms. McNamee is a superb and masterful writer…. and HOLY MOLY can she write panty melting, core clenching, knee trembling, and heat inducing sex scenes!!! I always need a cold shower after reading one of her books!!
Bellissimo!!

Thank you, Ms. McNamee!

Code Raven: Prequel (Code Raven Series) by Lynda Filler – Review by Angela Hayes

CODE RAVEN: PrequelCODE RAVEN: Prequel by Lynda Filler
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

 

Code Raven is the prequel for the Code Raven series by Lynda Filler. The series is an action-packed adventure, with suspense, special ops, covert missions, drama, and intrigue. This book lays out some of the groundwork, filling in character details, giving backstory and background information that is the foundation for the series which follows. This book moves from past to present and back several times over the course of the book. These flashbacks give us important details that help us better understand the character/s and motivations. The book is a fast-paced novelette, which makes this a very quick and easy read. It is told from several points of view, helping to give us a well-rounded perspective of everything.
This book introduces us to Luke Raven, the head of the Raven Group- a top secret special ops corps. He is a brilliant man; whose accomplishments and talents seem to be limitless, but who has also experience great personal heartache. We really get to know him and the other members of his team. I enjoyed finding out about him and meeting the others- Luci, Alice, Zach, RB, Maggs- and discovering how the Raven Group came to be.
I am looking forward to reading the rest of this series- it looks set to be a thrilling ride.

Thank you, Ms. Filler!
