My rating: 4 of 5 stars

When it comes to reading fantasy books, I really only have read about 2 handfuls of them. So when I came across this Book i really wanted to give it a try and add it to my read pile. Omg I am so glad I did!! Lena Abram has built such a beautifully unique world, with some complex characters that you’ll sympathize with and hope everything turns out okay for them. Lol most of them lol. But with powers and curses and a thrilling Ending what’s not to love ❤️I truly look forward to reading the Dominions series by this author its part of this universe🥰 Can’t wait to step foot back In the this one. I would love to see how they expand on this already great world.
Ps I love how the author had a go to glossary for the book just in case you got confused on something.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Good Enough by Nicole Craig is available now in eBook and Physical Book
⭐️⭐️⭐⭐⭐ Book Review

Good Enough is the first installment of The Deadman’s Tribe series. Nicole Craig writes with such passion for her character’s. The story line was full of romance and suspense. The story of Kai and Water’s had me hooked from the very beginning, keeping me on the edge of my seat until the very end. There were some very intense scenes that some may find disturbing however, overall, Craig did an amazing job with this military style genre. I highly recommend this novel to all romance lovers. I can’t wait to see what Craig brings next in this series.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This was an interesting read. I have never been the biggest fan of short stories but this book is well written. It was nice to be able to complete a story fast and know the ending,

Each story is well written and you get easily wrapped up in the stories. The fact that the characters are well-developed and grow as you read about them in such a short while makes this a good book.

This book also has a good amount of spice to it that will get you going. Read this book to read the journey of a few different shifters and how they handle each of their unique situations.

Sweet Dreams by Claire (Capture the Light Series) by Nanette Littlestone – Review by Christie Mitchum

Sweet Dreams by Claire (Capture the Light, #2)Sweet Dreams by Claire by Nanette Littlestone
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Sweet Dreams by Claire by Nanette Littlestone is a sweet, charming romance that I enjoyed from the beginning until I finished the last page.

Claire has worked in her family’s bakery since she was a child, learning from her mother the joy of baking. Now, she has ideas and recipes of her own that she would like to try, but her mother has no interest in trying something new. She squelches any idea that Claire brings to her.

One day a chance encounter completely upends Claire’s life. She is told by her mother to take some desserts to the Cleary’s resort for a taste testing for an upcoming wedding. On her way, she literally collides with the bride’s brother, Finn. When she arrives, the desserts are ruined, but an opportunity presents itself. She is given permission from the chef to use his kitchen, and she uses this chance to make her own creation which is a HIT!!!

Her mundane life is now anything but that. She is embroiled in the bride, Brigid’s, wedding and forms a fast friendship with her. In addition, she finds herself in a possible relationship with Finn. He encourages her to go for her dreams and brings her out of her shell. However, an accident that happened many years ago may be standing in between this new relationship with Finn.

Not only is this a romance, but it’s a story about family, forgiveness, new opportunities, and dreams! Plus, it takes place in Ireland and involves baking…what could be any better than that!!!! If you are in the mood to read a sweet tale that leaves you with a warm feeling in your heart, you can’t beat this magical little book!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

In a world where slavery and death are on the line, Lannahi is going to have to fight for her kingdom and her freedom. She is the youngest sibling of 3, and her siblings are, well to put it mildly, jerks. They don’t really care about her outcome. She thinks she’s in love with this guy until his true colors come to light and he enchants her, to the point that if she does not comply, death will be her outcome. To get out from under his spell, she must participate in the Moon Games. These games are held monthly and there are strict rules. Not everyone plays by the rules though. Lannahi is going to need some help from an ally, but who can really be trusted?

This was an interesting and fun read. There is lots of adventure, fantasy, some romance, and power grabs. I love the time and attention the author took to developing the characters. While it did slow down the pace of the book a bit, it was much needed and appreciated!

A Heart So Savage (The Savage Duet Book 2) by April Moran – Review by Jessica Stone

I’m not going to lie I am so happy that I read the first book to this one basically back to back, I don’t know how long I could have waited to find out what was going to happen to King and Ava.

This book picks up right after the events of the first book, so if you haven’t read book one, stop what you’re doing go back and read it first and then come back, honestly you’d miss out on a ton of you tried to read this.

So I’m super into the forced proximity, reluctant relationship these two have. King is DEEP in his feelings for Ava and after everything they’ve been through it’s only fitting that Ava spend the majority of this book questioning basically her sanity for feeling the things she does for him, and loving the way he makes her feel. And let’s be honest, we all want to feel like kinky sex goddesses sometimes. King and his resolute feelings for Ava break me a bit, he’s gone through a lot, and though we knew he was “intrigued” with Ava, fascinated I guess to see him fall into love with Ava was heart melting.

I love the twists this book throws in with its characters, some from the first book and some new players! But please definitely watch out for trigger warnings going into this book, it gets down to the nitty gritty, lays it all bare but I think that’s what makes the story so intriguing. The author isn’t afraid to tell the story, and sometimes things can get ugly, but that makes the resolutions so much sweeter.

UHMM! Oliver what??? If you’ve read the first book, as you should, you’ll know what I’m talking about! I was blown away by that wildcard! Super hope we get a book about him and his redemption! I would love to read more like this from the author, dark mafia romance done right. Secretly hoping I can find my own Kingston one day. 🤞🏻

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Lannahi is a princess that takes her fate into her own hands. She feels her only escape is to take over a kingdom due to a curse placed upon her. Will she be able to defend herself and her new kingdom from harm?

I enjoyed Lannahi as the main character. She is a strong and fair ruler but questions her actions. The citizens of her kingdom don’t automatically accept her, and she captures the old queen as her slave. There are a lot of names in this book and sometimes I was confused with the number of side characters. The world building was good, but I feel like it could have used more details to bring it to life. The story is original, and the ending was unexpected.

I absolutely loved this collection of romance stories. This author is one that I only became familiar with within the last year but her work has become one that I look forward to reading every time. I thought each one of these books was a fantastic story in its own right and I loved that they all had a different feel to them.
This is a collection I would struggle to pick my favourite from. I enjoyed each book for a completely different reason and I thought all of the characters were fantastic. This author was already one I knew I enjoyed but this series has solidified them in my mind as one to always turn to. This is a fantastic collection that I would highly recommend.

This book is a brilliant follow up to the first in the series and I was pulled in right from the start. This is a fast paced story that really captures your attention. So much seems to be going on and there are so many twists and turns that I never quite knew how the story would turn out.
I loved getting to know the characters in this book. Each seemed to have their part to play and I wanted to know more about how they would impact storyline. This author has the perfect writing style for this kind of book and It drew me in with ease. This is a great book and I am looking forward to the next in the series.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Portrait of Deception is the second gripping book in the Southwest Suspense series. I really enjoyed reading the first book and looked forward to reading more from this author and I wasn’t disappointed.
As with the first book this women’s fiction tale will have your heart pumping with just the right amount of darkness, danger, high drama, suspense and tension palpable enough to keep you on the edge of your seat and glued to the pages.
The story is fast-paced, full of action and the engrossing storylines have mystery and lots of grit and sometimes disturbing events. There are dictators, hidden agendas, betrayals, grudges, questionable behaviours and so much more. It is full of violence, dangerous thugs and thrilling twists and turns that kept me guessing.
The characters are complex, well developed and well written. Let me tell you there are characters that you will love to hate in this book.
Margo finds herself on a twisted trail right into the hands of the shady, dark and dangerous world where she can hopefully remain alive. Being a photographer has never been this deadly.
This twist tale was hard to put down because I had to know what was going to happen next.
I eagerly look forward to reading more from this author.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I enjoyed reading this collection of romance stories. This is an author that I enjoy reading. Her stories are full of romance and easy to read. They are well written stories with each book having their own unique characters. They are engaging, fast paced stories that will keep you reading until the end. One of the things that I enjoy most with a boxset is that you don’t have to wait for the next book to be published. This box set has seven romance stories and a guarantee to find a favorite among them. My favorite is Never Lovers. Patrice has escaped to her cousin’s ski house after panicking about seeing herself in her wedding dress. What she doesn’t realize is that her past and present are about to crash into each other and shake things up. What happens you will need to read about. I enjoyed reading these seven great romance stories which I highly recommend.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

What a great addition to a great series. I loved getting to read all about Miller and his crazy self. Miller pretty much does what he wants and doesnt really care about much. When he has to go to court,!he’s sitting in his car when a woman jumps in the passenger seat
Of his car asking him to drive. She isn’t just any woman, she’s a woman in a wedding dress running from her wedding. Miller does as she asks and drives her where she needs to
Go. That definitely is the end of the woman in the wedding dress. Maisy ends up being Millers new obsession which is odd because Miller doesn’t obsess over anyone.
This book had a lot going on. There was Millers best friend seeming to be in trouble, the mess with Driscoll, Maisy stressing over her mom wanting to take Bear away, along with some other stuff. Looking forward to Lynn’s book. That should be amazing once her brothers catch wind of what she’s up to 🙂

Savage Start (Hidden Valley Elite #0.5)Savage Start by Isla Vaughn
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I did things kind of backwards and read the entire Hidden Valley Elite Series before I read Savage Start, the prequel to them all. However, knowing the rest of the stories did not take away from the excitement and thrills of this one. Isla Vaughn starts this series off right with the introduction of some amazing characters. From the first page, the characters come to life; their struggles, emotions, and passion capture the reader’s attention. The world building of Isla Vaughn is spectacular! The reader is transported through the pages into the world of the Elite; the California coastline, beachside mansions, and parties at those mansions all come to life with her words! This book definitely gave me more insight into the timeline and background of Cole and Riley’s tumultuous relationship. Overall, another great read by Isla Vaughn! I can’t recommend this series enough, but definitely start with this one before moving on to the rest.

Oh my gosh was this set so funny! First let me say that if you are not a fan of sex scenes then this isn’t the set for you. BUT if you don’t mind them………., you have to read this book!! It is so good. This book is about a woman named Bella who is in her thirties. She’s been married for 12 years, but they have slowly drifted apart due to various reasons. Him more so than her, but now she’s starting all over! Her life is flipped upside down and now she has to navigate the dating world while healing from a failed marriage and trying to regain her self-confidence back. Her group of friends is awesome! They always banter back and forth, they are SO funny, and the advise! Man oh man! It’s awesome! I have a group of friends and we get together once a week for a ladies night and let me tell you, her friends ARE TOTALLY my friends!! Such a group of personalities! Bella joins a dating app and jumps back into the crazy dating scene. She goes on a few dates and they are all Unique in their own way. They each get their own nickname (LOL!). It gets a little messy here and there, but she is determined to have fun and see who’s out there. I CAN NOT wait to read all of these!!!! This set will have you literally laughing out loud. You won’t want to put it down and trust me, you will want to read the rest, just like me!!! Great funny read with steamy romance. Bella loves steamy romances and she’d love to recreate some of the scenes from some of those books! Wink wink!

I loved the illustrations in this book, the late sunset and seashells were my favorite pages. The story is great and teaches kids a good lesson, especially not waiting for something bad to happen to you before finally being kind to others. I don’t know other parents who have a pinching problem but I have met some who have kids to who like to bite and hit, I think this will be a great book for them as it shows all of Cray’s friends leaving him because they don’t like the pinching. I even like that the author included Fox telling Cray he doesn’t like him playing that way. The book is short and filled with rhymes that will help keep the attention of young children. Definitely a good book for teachers to read with young children.

I’ve not read book one, Savage Lies, before reading the prequel, being 30 and reading a New Adult about teenagers doesn’t appeal to me but I really liked this prequel and it has me interested in book one. I hope the series explains more of Riley’s uncle, it just seems off to me that this guy bought her a “race car” but can’t help them. This is a nice short background about the characters that I’m sure everyone who has already read Savage Lies will love. I seen that Cole is the bully in book one and I’m not gonna lie, it makes me sad because I already really like him, not sure how I’m going to handle him being mean but I do look forward to how it all plays out.

What happens when you get the black sheep of the family and a runaway bride…. well let me tell you what happens…you get an AWESOME book! Miller, our main character has always considered himself as the black sheep of the family, cruising through his life not really knowing what he wants. The only thing that he has ever been sure of is that he wanted to be working in Blue Bigfoot Brewery with his brothers. If only he knew that his life was about to become so much more interesting!

Maisy, our other main character, finds herself in a unique situation, is marrying her friend really the best decision that she has made, or is this going to be a disaster. She quickly finds out that she is going to meet her knight in shining armor! Miller is the bad boy she never knew she needed in her life but is the chemistry so strong that they will end up staying together, or will it fall apart in their faces.

I read this book as a standalone, but I will 100% be going back and reading the two previous books in the series! The author had a great way of bringing the characters to life and making you feel like you were in the book with them! The dialogue was awesome and that just made the book that much better! I read this book pretty quickly and I enjoyed every second of it! I can’t wait to see if there is going to be a continuation of this great series!

This was an amazing gripping thriller of a read. I was hooked from the first page. The authors story telling was amazing and there are so many twist and turns than I never saw anything coming that happened which made the story even more enjoyable for me. I love Margo’s character. She is a very strong determined woman and even though she hit rock bottom she fought to not stay there. There are a lot of people around her who are bad for her and as she starts to realise this and get rid of them we see her progressing into an even stronger person.

Margo was on the brink of having everything her heart desires. She was a talented photographer and now that was going to be recognised when she wins the Butler Prize. Along with everyone knowing her name she would get praise and love as well as it opening doors to plenty of jobs. She felt her life was all set on the right track. She even got a job offer to photograph a politician. After finding out she falls in love with her subject he wants her to photograph him and is determined to make her is. So when she refuses the job he wasn’t going to that lying down.
After leaving the party with someone she trusts what happens next changes her life.
She passes out and wakes the next morning to her hotel room completely trashed and no idea how it happened. Add to that the fact she has to pay for damages and because of this display of bad behaviour she loses her award and all the job opportunities offer to her. In the space of a few hours she has lost everything and doesn’t know where to turn. She does however still have the offer from the politician, that 1 job could solve her problems and get her life back on track but can she survive 2 weeks with the bullying man.
What awaits in at his private castle? Will she be safe or is her gut instinct to stay clear of him right?

This was a thrilling read and I enjoyed every minute of it.

What a whirlwind! I will say in the first part of the book, the way the relationship between the characters progressed, I would have liked to see a little more depth between the characters as they delved into their BD$M relationship. Practically speaking, it sets an unrealistic portrayal of how a safe relationship should be. I did like the book and both romances, and I do like this author. I do recommend this series, but please just remember to do your research.

Just like the other two, the back and forth in this book was really well done and balanced. The set up for the first book was fantastic! It really made me think and wanting more. Isla does such a good job setting up her worlds that I fell like I’m in the middle of them.

I absolutely loved this action-packed romance; it was full of suspense and was so realistic. I was on the edge of my seat trying to figure out what was going on and who was causing the issues throughout the entire story, right from the very beginning. This book was a huge page-turner, I couldn’t put it down from the moment I started reading it I was hooked. I loved the characters that we get to meet, and the code names are so realistic, it’s something that I would expect from a story utilizing any type of military. As a movie lover, this was so exciting to read, it was like watching from the sidelines of a movie set and getting to meet the actors in real life. I felt the burning romance from the second that Kai walked into the office with Waters and was not disappointed as the heat built between the two of them. The author did a stupendous job of making everything so realistic and capturing my attention in wanting to know more about everyone’s backstories. This is one of my favorite suspenseful romance series I have read and have already marked my calendar for the next book in the series to come out. If I could give this more than 5 stars I totally would, this is a must-read in my book, highly recommend it!!!
