Bailey and the CEO: A Corporate Love Story (A Better Man Book 1)Bailey and the CEO: A Corporate Love Story by Amy Q. Barker
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I thoroughly enjoyed this heartwarming romance which kept me happily turning the pages. Bailey is a widow who’s raising two teenage daughters and works as VP of Quality at Havelin. Meanwhile Fox is divorced and has two teenage sons and is the CEO of Havelin. When the pair have a chance encounter whilst on a plane journey, they are instantly attracted to one another, and sparks definitely fly. They soon discover that they have a real connection, and despite neither of them looking for romance they both want to take a chance on love. However, relationships between employer and employees in the corporate world is frowned upon and they find their developing relationship has many obstacles for them to overcome. This is a feel-good, uplifting corporate love story which I literally could not put down. I found this was a real page turner with a romantic storyline between two likeable and relatable characters. The descriptive narrative brought the setting to life, whilst the plot had enough drama along with the romance to keep me hooked. The chemistry between Bailey and Fox sizzled off the page and I enjoyed the dual narrative as this enabled me to feel engaged with them both. An enjoyable and engaging read and one which I recommend!

Thorfinn and the Witch’s Curse Audio Book (The Forerunner Series, Book 1) by Jay Veloso Batista – Review by Amanda Glaspie

I really like the story. The character development was strong, the characters each had a crucial role, and the ending wrapped everything together nicely. Listening to the book was challenging as at times I had a hard time figuring out who was talking as first person as it was told in different characters point of view but once you learned the narrators voices, it was much clearer. The narrator for the book was fantastic and was the perfect choice for this genre. I really felt like I was with the characters. Transition music was also nice as it set the tone for the next passage. Overall, I enjoyed the book.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Divine Vintage is the intertwined love story of Tess and Trey and Edward and Phoebe. Tess and Trey meet when Trey and his grandmother, Esther, come into Tess’s newly opened vintage clothing store. It’s a whirlwind from there when a literally spark between Tess and Trey ignites a shocking revelation in Trey’s family’s murder-suicide of Phoebe and Edward. Young’s ability to seamlessly go between the storylines of the characters is flawless and amazing. I loved how she is able to rope the reader in from the beginning and keep the reader on the edge of their seat until the very end. This story has it all…intrigue, paranormal, love, suspicion, romance, and mystery all wrapped up in a neat little package. I can’t wait to see what awaits the other characters in the upcoming books in the series.

Basil (Silver Springs Pets, #7)Basil by K. Rose
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

A quirky romantic comedy which can either be read as part of this multiauthor series or as a standalone story. Biomedical engineer Basil reluctantly joins a dating app only to unknowingly enter a supernatural realm. Following a disastrous date, vegan Basil is turned into a vampire, and uses her skills to create a serum which means she can live without needing blood. She decides to head to Silver Springs, a sanctuary for supernatural beings and opens a juice bar and tanning salon. Basil then meets three guys and soon finds herself in a reverse harem relationship. Her undead life is then put in danger when she discovers that vampire hunters are after her fangs. I was definitely taken on a ‘paranormal rom-com adventure’, and I felt fully immersed in this story. The descriptive narrative brings both the unique characters and the paranormal setting vividly to life. I liked the characters, and their chemistry came across in the narrative. I liked that basil was a proud curvy woman and that she found love with her supernatural suitors.

The Mating Chance (Long Claw Pride)The Mating Chance by Brooke May
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

An enjoyable shifter romance with a second chance at love theme which had me hooked throughout. Male mountain lion shifters must follow their instinct to find their mate when the call comes, and this usually only happens once. Boone Claw works as a log faller alongside his brother and lives a bachelor lifestyle surrounded by his crazy cousins. He has watched his family members all settling down having succumbed to the mating call, and so is thrilled when he finally gets it himself. Going on instinct he heads west and finds his mate, Cricket Adams. However, she is shocked when the call strikes her for the second time, as she has already found her mate and started a family with him. She cannot believe that fate would give her a second chance, having taken her mate away and left her as a single mother. When she meets Boone, she is in denial and rejects him despite their obvious connection. However, Boone is determined to convince Cricket to overcome her reservations. I was fully immersed in the world of mountain lion shifters, which the author has created through the wonderfully descriptive narrative. The chemistry between Boone and Cricket really came across and I liked the slight twist on the usual fated mate’s theme.

Out of BoundsOut of Bounds by Tam DeRudder Jackson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Piper is sitting in the bar trying to drink away her problems but why do these college boys keep trying to chat her up, so it becomes a game to get rid of them until Charlie her ex decides she is destine to be his again. After some uncomfortable back and forth conversations she hears low timbre voice behind her which saves her from her ex.

Wyatt “Bax” Baxter has been watching the firecracker all night batting away the boys until he sees that this one is different and comes to her rescue. Upon chatting and find out her name she proceeds to escort her to her car, but things get heated up pretty quick and when she leaves without giving him her number, he becomes obsessed with finding her.

Piper had her one night with the star football player but as she interacts more with him the feelings are coming to the surface although she swore off men, Wyatt is starting to inject faith in her that not men are bad.

Can Wyatt convince Piper he is nothing like her ex and hopefully have his forever woman?

This is not the first book I have read by this author and is not going to be last, you know when you pick up a Tam DeRudder Jackson book that the writing and character are well written and developed and this is brilliant.

Piper’s character is trying to shield her heart but as you read through her story you she that even with money you can be just as miserable and lost in life. Although when she meets Wyatt from the first interaction you are willing her to trust her instincts and go out with the character. Wyatt although is an alpha male character you get to see his vulnerable side and kind, charming character with each interaction the two of them have in the story.

I love the secondary characters and am hoping with get Chessly and Finns story as there is something bubbling and would make a great book to read. Can wait to read more.

The Scottish Play (PolyAm Fam Book 1)The Scottish Play by Phoebe Alexander
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Molly is just finishing her Master of Fine Arts degree and as part of that she has to written, produce and direct a play. While her search for the leading man has not gone to plan her girlfriends brother suggests an employee at the University who may be perfect for the role.

When Lachlan auditions for Molly she sees he is perfect for the role but takes a chance as he has no acting experience. As the rehearsals go on there is some flirting and attraction between them when Molly explains she is in a Polycule and this enhances there chemistry even more.

I love Phoebe’s writing and this is a new genre which needs more representation on and was a joy to read. Understanding the terms and relationships added a layer to the story and you uncover more about the people. This is definitely a story around Molly’s characters and what she wants from both partners in her relationships.

I can’t wait to read more books in this series and from Phoebe.

The Rise of House ValdisThe Rise of House Valdis by Naomi Valkyrie
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

It is some years since Xenobia fled her situation and she has a settled life on Earth, albeit she has to use a glamour to hide her origins, but she has her own business and is doing some good on the side, she helps girls by giving them the choice she didn’t have, the opportunity to work as one of her Companions where they will be looked after, fed watered, given a roof over their heads and most importantly, a choice of who they want to work with. One of the girls, Maggie was the catalyst for this decision, when Xenobia found her being beaten, she knew she had to act and now, Maggie is the only one she trusts with her true nature and the darkness within her.

All of it seems to be going well until a potential client enters her office for an interview and as she reads his emotions, she knows something isn’t right, especially when he mentions someone from her past, but regardless, she agrees to help and that is where things get complicated and Xenobia has to make a split second decision which will change her future forever. This new change means that she has to open up to everything she has been avoiding since her arrival seven years before, bringing down her walls and letting people in, however, what she doesn’t expect to happen is discovering a whole new world underneath the one she currently has, but will this new found information help, or hinder her life?

This is a paranormal romance where danger lies around every corner and nothing is quite as it seems as past and present collide to create a maelstrom of emotions, secrets, revelations and love, all while keeping you engrossed in the ties that bind an unusual group of people as they navigate new waters together.

The Reluctant Spy is a fun chapter book aimed for children ages 7-12 but I think children of any age can enjoy this story. This author is one of our favorites so we had to read it This one doesn’t have colorful illustrations to go along with the story but that didn’t stop my son and his imagination. Follow along with Timmy on his adventure of a lifetime when he finds a very special mouse named Hildegarde. What happens when they find themselves on a spy mission? I highly recommend reading this book to find out what happens next. We look forward to reading more from this Author.

Another wonderful book by a new favorite author of mine, Naomi Valkyrie. I absolutely love her style of writing. Each one of her books draw me in and I have a hard time pulling away to do real life! This one was no different. She does a great job world building and the characters are just amazing. The story was a little slow at first but just wait. It picks up and is very worth your time. I do recommend reading the short prequel but it’s not necessary.

Naomi has to be one of the most creative authors I’ve ever had the pleasure of reading. Who would think aliens and werewolves would go together? This story has me hooked from the first sentence. Nothing else mattered but finishing this book. Xenobia is such a wonderful being. Her dedication to protecting women who escape slavery and abuse is honorable. This novel has action, romance, friendship, lessons that you can apply to your own life.

Molly is in a bit of a bind with her play and she needs to find her leading man quickly. It will help tremendously if he can do a Scottish accent and be comfortable in the traditional kilt. Her girlfriend, Poe, recommends a guy she knows and speaks with him about auditioning for the play. Enter Lachlan, a maintenance man who has never acted before, but he is Scottish. He is unsure of trying out for the play until he sees Molly, then he is all in. Sparks fly but she hasn’t been with a man in about a decade and he isn’t looking to date. Will they get a happily ever after once the final curtain falls?

Murder At Music Hall (A True North Murder Mystery Book 1)Murder At Music Hall by A. J. Ullman
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

 

4.5 Stars

 

Murder At Music Hall is the first book in the True North Murder Mystery series by A.J Ullman. This is a thought-provoking crime thriller that had me engrossed right from the get-go.
As expected from Mr. Ullman, this story is well-woven, intriguing, and suspenseful. And again, Mr. Ullman’s attention to detail and meticulousness gave this story the authenticity, believability, intrigue, depth, and mystery that others in the same genre are sometimes lacking.
I was completely immersed in his story, and can’t wait to continue the series. Bring on Book #2!
So, if you love crime and investigation thrillers, twists & turns, intriguing storylines, complex characters, depth, and plenty of tension — then this is definitely the book for you!
Happy Reading…

Thank you, A.J Ullman!

This book was incredible and full of things that make you think. You learn a little bit about Danny in the first few pages and then things get quite complicated. A metaphysical world blooms within these pages and you and the characters learn as you go along. It is a very intriguing plot and well written.

The author does an amazing job describing things so you do not feel confused or lost, all while expanding on Danny’s new world. I really enjoyed this unique spin on things and think all will enjoy some, if not all parts of this story.

I highly recommend reading this and determining where you feel this fits in your mind. It’s an enjoyable trip.

Basil is the seventh book in the Silver Springs Pets Series by K. Rose. This is RH paranormal romance – a romcom with adventure, the supernatural, steam, chemistry, danger, fate/destiny, quirky interesting characters, fun, emotion, tension, and more.

The way the facts of the time were woven into the authors story was done well and it made you feel like you were in that time period. This genre is not something I would normally read, but the synopsis sounded so interesting that I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to read it. I will definitely be reading the other books in this series and keep my eye out more books by this author.

I enjoy reading this author. This is the second book I have picked up from this author and I enjoy her writing style. The period of the War of 1812 is not my typical go-to genre but I gave it a try and I’m glad I did. The attention to detail and the storyline build are just a few of the traits I love about this author. The building of the relationship between Jed and Hanna is truly wonderful and pure. Jed is the heir to a plantation and a family with years of secrets; buying slaves to build back up the Willow’s Estate. Now little does Jed know Hanna’s family is the key to putting all the family secrets together. I definitely recommend the book and author!

The Scottish Play (PolyAm Fam Book 1)

I have read several books by Ms. Alexander and have yet to be disappointed. So often you get a female lead without an ounce of fat and is happy with her body. Ms. Alexander is a wonderful role model for body positivity. I wish there was a lot less fat shaming.

Molly and I are both short and curvy, but I’m not nearly as comfortable in my skin as she is. She’s got a loving partner and built her own little polycule and is happy. She’s stressed with Grad School and her play which is her final project for school and lacking a leading man. Enter Lachlan thanks to a shove from Poe.

Lachlan’s voice is still going through my mind, or at least what I think it would have sounded like and yum. Not sure why some accents are more appealing than others but I’m a sucker for a good one. He is an average guy who was simply working when approached and convinced to help Molly.

As always the main characters along with the supporting characters are all wonderful and intriguing. Ms. Alexander does a wonderful job developing each and every character on her books.

She is one of my favorites and don’t think twice when I see she has a new release. Looking forward to the next one.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Prequel is a must before you read this book. Naomi Valkyrie is like my book goddess no joke. Her mind, her characters, her worlds, stories, just everything is diamond level amazing. This book is told from the perspective of primarily three to four people but has a total of six pov’s by the end of the book.
Xenobia has been on Earth now for seven years, arriving after the events of the prequel with her newly discovered powers. While she has worked hard to learn how to control them an event five years ago caused her to unleash for a moment. Now that issue has returned. Javier is a power-hungry man that will do anything to become a vampire, including forgetting his previous encounter with the true Xenobia and start to send her “messages”. The first is by kidnap of a man’s daughter to “repay” a debt only he is erased when paying it. Luckily, he was able to call Xenobia and she went there to save his daughter and take her in only to heal her in a way she never had before. Giving her blood to the girl to save her life had some risk of powers developing in the girl. Mercy is now alone having lost both of her parents and is now different on a cellular level and now can compel vampires. Detective Matthew Winters is not just a man but a shifter who after a “dream visit” reveals himself to Xenobia and she returns the reveal of herself. Onyx is a vampire that has a very entwined past with Matthew so when he shows up as Javier’s second messenger Matt is thrown for a loop when a painful truth is revealed. Chi is an ancient guardian and feels drawn to Xenobia to support her in the upcoming events with Javier. Xenobia has cut her heart from feeling now she has two men she is drawn to and a growing mountain of stress and threats coming her way.
Who will Xenobia chance her heart with? Can she and her allies beat Javier? How far will he go to get the power he craves? Everything about Xenobia draws you in, how she feels others’ emotions and yet can’t read their minds. She must earn their trust and her theirs to truly understand the private feelings and the meanings behind them. Saving Mercy gave her a blessing in a way she is no longer alone in what she is at least not completely anymore. The twists, turns, growth, evolving and morphing that the story and the characters go through pull you in deeper with every page and I cannot wait for book two, I must know what happens and how it will all end. I’ll meet you there, book two, It Comes from Within.

Out of Bounds

Piper and Bax didn’t have the easiest path but I loved their journey. She is recovering from a broken heart and he swoops in to save the day.

Following Piper as she started figuring things out with her sister Pippa (who I really didn’t like), parents and love was quite frustrating and entertaining at the same time.

I wish my daughter had found a guy like Bax while she was in college. He is q good southern young man who listened to his Mama. His manners and respect for women was wonderful to read.

Have I mentioned I really don’t like Piper’s sister? She caused a lot of damage to Piper and her relationship with her parents on top of everything else she did.

I love the dynamic of the guys, they act what I feel like teammates would, just like brothers.

I cannot wait for the next book and find out what’s going to happen. I’m fully invested in this series.

So this book was definitely a whirlwind. I will say, the plot itself was interesting- with a vegan turned vampire who comes up with a serum as an alternative to regular vampire sustenance. It was a light, humorous book, as well as a quick read. It’s not something I typically read; and while I did enjoy it, it just wasn’t something that sparked as an all time favorite. However, if you’re interested, pick it up and try it! It might be your next best read!

This was a great 5 star read. Once I started I was pulled right in. This is James and Sarah’s story. Sarah is a travel nurse that is hired to help Jame’s father. There is an instant attraction between them, can James convince Sarah to be with him?

Overall I really enjoyed this book. The characters were great, even though James pushed my buttons at times. We get drama, love, steaminess and so much more. The chemistry between these two was off the charts, you could feel it coming off the pages. I also had some LOL moments with the bantering between them. This is the last book in the series and can be read as a standalone. I highly suggest reading from the beginning. If you are looking for a great series to read 1-click and get started today.

This is quite a different take on being a vampire!

Basil finds herself in the hospital after a car accident while on a date…and now she’s a vampire. However. she’s a vegan…so she uses her knowledge to create a serum to satisfy her hunger without her having to bite another human. When she makes her way to Silver Springs. she finds herself immersed in the business world while also meeting her very interesting mates. But, what will happen when she finds herself being hunted?!?

This was an enjoyable read that kept me turning the pages. It was humorous and steamy while also having some drama and suspense. There were times that I found myself laughing out loud at the characters that become a part of the story. Definitely going to be checking out some more books in the series!

Finlay is a newspaper reporter who is going undercover to help put an end to a trafficking ring. Finlay is in danger at every turn. She has to rely on help to try to rescue these women and may find love while doing so. This book is a page turner. I kept holding my breath hoping that everything would turn out okay.

The Scottish Play (PolyAm Fam Book 1)The Scottish Play by Phoebe Alexander
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This was my first book by this author, and I am absolutely blown away! I had no idea how much I was going to love this, but I’ve recommended it to several of my friends already. I enjoyed getting to know the polycule and their different personalities as well as how their relationships with each other varied. I laughed out loud at a few scenes in this book which is a hard task to accomplish. There are plenty of emotions ranging from spiciness, love, angst, sadness, and more. If you like your romances on the vanilla side, this is probably not the book for you. I also truly love that the author does not rely on the steamy scenes to makeup the entire storyline. They are great additions, but even without them this book would have been amazing! I cannot wait for the rest of this series to come out because I need more!
