Cruel Truths (Tessa and Jordan #3)Cruel Truths by T. Christensen
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I loved this story. Grumpy boss and enemies to lovers tropes are one of my favorites and this one covered all those bases. So many times I was angry, frustrated or irritated at the male lead. He drove me crazy just like he did Lindy. In fact, a couple times I really didn’t understand why she stayed. I really liked Lindy. She is determined, smart, sassy and doesn’t put up with his guff. I don’t know how she did it day after day and time after time dealing with him, but kudos to her. I suppose it could be the intense sexual attraction that they have with each other. I mean OFF the Charts!

The story is amazing in the respect of the dreams, the hopes and the desires that are played out. It has many ups and downs and drama filled moments that filled my heart or made it go pitter-pat. This is one that can be reread and enjoyed.

This is the third in the series, but it can be read as a standalone. There is mention of characters and situations that we see from the first two books, but it doesn’t really interfere with this story. So grab it and enjoy

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Enemies to lovers is my absolute FAVORITE trope!! So I had to read this one! I’m not sure why but I love the toxic type when it comes to my books. The push and pull just has me on the edge and I love the torture. The angst, the drama, the hate, the love…give it all to me! And that’s what this book did. I enjoyed every page! Great characters with great character development and I just all around enjoyed this read. I haven’t read the others before this book…but I’ll definitely be doing that now. So good.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the 3rd book in the Tessa and Jordan series, it can be read as a standalone read which is great. I loved this story, the author does an amazing job with the characters making them feel realistic. I especially felt a connection with Lindy. She is a fun person who loves her family and is prepared to stand up for herself when she needs to. I love how she wasn’t afraid to stand up to Cade even when he was dominant and intimidating she didn’t back down.
The chemistry between them is electric pretty much from the beginning but the dynamic of Cade being her boss and Lindy really needing her job to support her family put road blocks in their way.
This story is a push and pull enemies to lovers romance. There is a thin line between love and hate and this story definately goes back and forwards over that line which leaves you wondering if they will ever get together and embrace their true feelings.

Cade already knew from the moment he met her that Lindy was the woman for him but will she ever come around and see that for herself? Should you ever mix a business relationship with pleasure? And when an opportunity comes along where they fake a relationship what happens when those fake feelings become real? With no escape and a lot of time spent in Cades company will Lindy be able to keep denying the connection she feels? Will Lindy ever fulfill her dream of getting her own fashion line? Will her connection with Cade help or hinder her dreams?

This was a fast paced read that I loved and I was completely invested in this couples story as they navigate the path ahead of them.

Undeniable (Central Florida Stories, #2)Undeniable by Victoria Saccenti
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Kurt used to spend a lot of time in his club, Club Nexxus. After serving in the military and coming home suffering from PTSD, he began to lose interest. But one day while checking in, he saw a face he never thought he’d see again – Arely, the little sister of his best childhood friend. He had heard the path his old friend had taken and couldn’t believe it. He was just surviving until he saw her again, especially when he learned she was working in his club to stay hidden from the cartel for her protection.

Arely was involved in human trafficking. The secrets she learned there can be very dangerous for the people running the ring, so once she got out she went into hiding. Bartending in a private club offers a lot of protection in the form of the company knowing everyone who comes in and out, security, and the dim bar makes her feel protected, as well. When she sees Kurt there one day, she can’t believe she is seeing him again. When she is located at Club Nexxus, will she survive? Will she ask for help? Will Kurt help her?

Steamy read, wonderful character building, great chemistry. This is a standalone but the enjoyable writing shines through.

This is the first book that I have read from this author. I can tell you that I cried during part of it because it was just so overwhelming and heartbreaking. Lindy Garcia, an inspiring clothing designer lands a job as a PA (Personal Assistant) to Cade Kingsley ( the owner of Kingsley Marketing). Little does she know that this job could have a lasting impact on her and her future. Just watch out for some of the conversations that they have because they are not your typical business conversations that you would have your boss, especially if you really need the job. Does Lindy have a job at the end of the book? The answer to this question is simple but I really don’t want to spoil the book for you. I promise its one you will not want to put down until you are finished reading it. Even after you finish reading it, you will want to read it again. I will warn you again about the emotional toll that Lindy and Cade go through personally. There are moments that you may want to hurt one more than the other but just remember that this a just a book and not reality.

You and Me Equals LoveYou and Me Equals Love by Marina Hanna
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

This is the story of both one but two women and their men. This is a case of best friends, dating best friends. I can’t even say whose story I like better as they were both equally well done. Well, the story is good but I wasn’t a huge fan of the execution. It does a lot of bouncing around from past to present. I think the story would’ve been as equally powerful, just starting in the past and working your way to the present and current situations. I have read this author’s stories before, and always enjoy them. This one just seems to be a one off for me. Overall, it’s an entertaining story about a couple girls who find their guy and hopefully a forever after.

This is a fast-paced, engaging story that you don’t want to miss out on. Reis’s storyline is perfection and the character development is sublime. I love well-developed characters and both Sung-jin and Cahki grow independently and together nicely. I would classify this as a fantasy, enemies-to-lovers, action novel and it’s done so well. There are so many twists and turns throughout that I was on the edge of my seat and one more chapter turned in to five. It was really hard to put this book down! Definitely a must read!

Cruel Truths is book three in the Tessa and Jordan series by this Author. I Unfortunately, did not read the first two books but I was still able to follow along this story. If you like Enemies to lovers and Contemporary romance this series is for you. Lindy is a fashion designer and just moved and she now has this mean new boss Cade. He really knows how to push her buttons and that drives Lindy crazy. I feel like Lindy having to play Cade’s Fake girlfriend might of softened her heart a little. You will have to read this book to find out how it plays out. I Really enjoyed following Cade and Lindy through their journey. I highly Recommend this book. You will fall in love with the Charaters of this series they are wonderful to read about. Thanks again to this Author for a great read and i look forward to read more books by you.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Cruel Truths: A Grumpy Boss is the third book in T. Christensen’s Tessa and Jordan series. This enemies to lovers forced proximity tale is fun and engaging. Even though it is part of this series it can be read as a standalone.
Vanessa left it all behind to follow her dream but is it worth it all when one’s boss is an insufferable alpha a’hole. She just has to pull up her big girl panties and work through it. Right? And the fun begins.
Cade knew she was meant to be his right from the start, but she has other ideas. What she doesn’t realise is that it is only a matter of time before she will be his. Bring it on!
They say there is a fine line between hate and love, and I loved the push pull that was between the characters. I loved the barbs, the wit, the banter and everything in between, all in the name of love.
It has a myriad of emotions, frustration, drama, anger, angst, hopes, dreams and sizzling chemistry that make it easy to read.
I am not going to spoil all the fun for you so you will have to give it a read to find out what happens.

Reggi Dupree got it oh so perfectly right, definitely my newest favorite author! After reading book one it was so easy to fall right back into Hoodoo! I utterly enjoy the humor and wonderful characters she creates. Her characters are relatable, entertaining, and unpredictable in the best ways! I definitely laughed a lot and went on such a fun adventure with Gwen and the rest of Hoodoo Texas! I highly recommend this book and series to anyone who wants a fun and quirky read that you will never forget!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Amazing thrillride that keeps you guessing. There are soooooo many serial killers in this book. The whole idea of a dark website where the killers go to brag and talk to each other is fascinating.

After killing a local serial killer, Detective Cade Dawkins received a tip that on a dark website there had been a challenge issued. The challenge was to try to stump the detective. With this, two serial killers rolled into town and started hunting and leaving bodies to be found.

Cade is put in charge of a taskforce to capture these killers. He selects a ragtag bunch of folks to help him. In the end, each person’s unique quirks made them right for the taskforce and added in figuring out who the killers were.

So many twists and turns with non-stop action. Excellent read! Original and fresh.

The thrills are even better in this second book in the Killer Series, by Allan Evans. I thought that Killer Blondes was good, but this really excelled even beyond the great read the first book was. Not only is our Detective Cade Dawkins back but he’s got far more to handle on his plate than ever before. He successfully defeated the Blonde Killer in the first book in this series, and now he’s got to take on a group of serial killers who have all started working together online. They share ideas, tips, and even information as well as challenge each other, what a scary group to have to take on for our hero detective. Turns out two of these serial killers have decided to meet up and work together, giving Detective Dawkins, a lot more to manage in his city than he’d ever bargained for. Will he be able to take on this intimidating challenge or will the group be able to win their challenge and defeat the detective that was able to stop the Blonde Killer in their tracks? This is another amazing read by Allan Evans, you do not want to pass up this excellent book series, especially if you love reading psychological thrillers!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Allan Evans’ book Killer Blonde was a great psychological thriller that kept me on the edge of my seat, scared to see what would happen next as a killer is on the prowl for blondes. The characters were perfectly developed, with no detail too small to be left out. It was as if I was right there watching the dead bodies as they were found by the investigators. This book had so many unexpected twists and turns, the killer was ingenious in the fact that they knew exactly what they were doing every step of the way, always two steps ahead of the detectives. I am a huge fan of psychological thriller novels, the chase of trying to find the killer before anyone else can be killed makes the story keep you reading right up to the very last page. I couldn’t put this book down; I was so scared that the detective would not be able to solve the murders before they got targeted themselves! If you love a good mystery thriller you will want to add this book to your next to read list.

House of Blood and Whispers by Natalina Reis is an epic and immersive romantic fantasy that really showcases the authors masterful worldbuilding and storytelling talents. I know that I can always count on Ms. Reis to deliver an engrossing and enjoyable read, and this book was all that and then some. It turned out to be one of my all-time favourites of her works, so far- and that’s saying something because Ms. Reis has some truly fantastic books to her name.
Apart from the incredible world-building and superb characters, there is so much more happening in the story, from action, adventure, danger, drama, romance, politics, corruption, agendas, intrigue, secrets, lies, emotion, and high stakes. The book also comes with a map that really helped to bring everything to life and helped me visualise the world so much better.
As always, Ms. Reis writes beautifully, and her talent is very apparent throughout the book. This is pretty captivating reading. The premise is not only intriguing, but it has also been executed beautifully. The author did a great job of infusing quite a lot of emotion, tension, and romance into her story that had me avidly reading the whole way through.
The inclusion of the glossary of the translations for some of the words used in the story, also helped and added another dimension to my reading experience.
I can’t wait to get my hands on ‘House of Blood and Pirates’ the prequel to this book- which is set to be coming soon. Colour me excited!!!
Happy Reading…

Thank you, Natalina Reis!

This was definitely a well thought out book. Just like any first book, there’s a lot of world building it in and background to get the feel for the lore behind the series. It was detailed perfectly, well paced, and honestly very very creative. Definitely an original work of fantasy that isn’t generic fae, vampires, etc. the characters were well thought out and given a lot of depth. I did think it was a very slow start though, and for me it didn’t pick up until the last 15% of the book. But I did like it, and if you like pirates and magic, give it a shot!

Cahki is a girl not to be messed with!! Emporer Min is after her for his harem and along the way to his palace, Cahki is abducted. How odd that she’s abducted by the Emporer’s son! Prince Sung-jin captures her in order to save her from his disgusting father.

When it seems the only “safe” option for saving herself is to marry the Prince, Cahki learns that they will have a very special marriage ceremony. They travel over a few days to the correct place, the deed is done, yet Cahki and Prince Sung-jin are better enemies than a married couple.

Will they ever fall in love or will they always have a strained relationship? Will the Prince be able to overturn his father and run the country the way he sees best?

This was an enjoyable book. I did appreciate the warning in the front of the book about things that may trigger a reader. There were several moments where I found myself laughing out loud while reading this. Cahki is a force to be reckoned with and her quips are unexpected at times. There were times I wanted to smack her or the Prince. The story was well-written and enjoyable!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

A wonderful psychological thriller. There’s been a bounty set and that bounty is to bring Cade Dawkins to his knees. Who set the bounty? A site on the dark web in response to him taking down one of their own. Killer Smile follows Cade as he tries to bring down multiple serial killers who had their feathers ruffled when he killed one of their own. They are out to prove that he got lucky. That they(the serial killers) are smarter than him and they can prove it.
Discovered by two professors at the university they stumbled upon a call to show Cade Dawkins who really has the power. Asking various members to go to Minnesota to show him, he’s not that good. He’s not a hero.
Cade initially dismisses the warning till the first body surfaces. Now at the governor’s request he has been tasked to lead a task force to bring said killer down. What they didn’t expect was another body with a different signature, pointing to more than one killer to deal with.
The author wrote a book that keeps you on the edge of your seat. Turning the page and wanting more! So many questions and so many answers the biggest ones being:
How many women have to die?
How many killers are there?
Will Cade and his task force bring these killers and their site down, or will it be his downfall?
This book jumps around to various character point of views. Which is interesting and sometimes disturbing(depending on which killer it is), however it works wonderfully.
I, for one, have always been sucked into books like this. Typically profilers are the main characters in those. It’s nice to see a different angle taken on which direction the law enforcement is coming from. Give it a fresh take.
So what are you waiting for?!?

House of Blood and Whispers by Natalina Reis is a fantasy tale. I always jump to grab Natalina’s new book when I see it is out as her stories are refreshing and unique. Natalina has a way of telling a story that brings her narrative to life.
The non-stop action and enough twists and turns to will keep you glued to the pages and invested in the outcome. There is lots of emotional turmoil in this story yet there is also beauty.
The storyline is intriguing and kept you on your toes as we journey along with their trials and tribulations of escaping a tyrannical ruler and freeing not only themselves but it’s people as well.
I loved the main characters and how even in the midst of the cruelty of the world as they know it, they were able to adapt and find happiness.
Cahki was brought to a world where a despicable Emperor resides and expects to be obeyed but he made a mistake when he captured her. She will not go down without a fight. She has hope that freedom will be won.
House of Blood and Whispers is a twisty romantic fantasy where violence and viciousness are commonplace, a place where their survival is at stake and danger is around every corner. A world that is controlled with an iron fist, cruelty, arrogance and lies, now becomes one of a fight for their survival.
I am interested to see what Natalina gives us next.

Cahki is a strong woman raised by adoptive parents in a small community in the northern part of the kingdom, an area well known for fair beauties; something the emperor is well known to have a taste for in his concubines.

None other than the Son of the Emperor, but he has a plan to free her, but wants help saving their kingdom from his father and its going to require she marry him. Cahki is no ones property and assures herself this is just a temporary situation to get her freedom…but can something else bloom in both of their icy frozen hearts while they race to save a Kingdom from a war that will mean so much death and destruction.

Wild Lavender (Heart & Hand, #1)Wild Lavender by Nicole E. Kelleher
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

From the beginning of Wild Lavender, I was kept on my toes, wondering what was going to happen next. The prologue had me hooked and only got better from there. Wild Lavender has a little bit of everything. First, it’s more of a period piece, set around Medieval times, so the views on marriage and loyalty are a little different. Second, the sadistic, cruel actions of Anna’s husband Roger might elicit a trigger warning. However, I think this part is necessary in the storyline to show the hardships and misery Anna endures and overcomes. The book also has danger, adventure, romance, politic, and a bit of the mystical. The characters are realistic, flawed, believable, and loveable (even those we love to hate). Overall, Nicole E. Kelleher’s world building is top notch, from her vivid physical descriptions of the kingdom to the often heartbreaking accounts of the characters’ thoughts and feelings. I can’t wait to read the next book in the Heart and Hand Series!

Amanda and Brian have chemistry that can be felt coming off of the pages…if they would just give into it. Brian has secrets that have him living each day as though it could be the last. That includes saying no to relationships and sticking to one night stands. That all changes as soon as Amanda walks into the room. However, when he finds out that she is his best friend’s little sister, he realizes that she is off limits. But, how long can these two remain friends when there are sparks when they are near each other? And…will they be able to give it a chance before it’s too late?

This book grabbed my attention from the get-go. I love a best friend’s sibling forbidden romance…but this was so much more. It is funny and witty, sexy and full of chemistry, while also being heartbreaking and frustrating. There are few books that I can say made me cry while I was reading it…and this was one of them. The author brought these characters to life and I was feeling emotions right along with them. This is a great story that I enjoyed reading!

Ross: Central Florida StoriesRoss: Central Florida Stories by Victoria Saccenti
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This was a book from a new to me author.

Ross returns from an enlistment in the Marine Corps to his brother running from the law and taking his girlfriend with him…the girlfriend that Ross enlisted to get away from.

Fast forward some years and the story begins…Ross and Hadley meet again under bad circumstances and feelings are shared. Lives have grown while they were apart. There is a touch of kink play in the book but not the 50 shades kind.

It was a good story with a good plot. I enjoyed it. I was intrigued by the mention of his boss’ story so I might go back and read that one.

Mr Wimp (The Human Mating Site #1)Mr Wimp by B.L. Wilde
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Mr. Wimp (The Human Mating Site Book 1) by B.L. Wilde is a great romantic comedy.

Her narrative begins with Mr. Wimp when she separates from her spouse. Bella never imagined she’d be back on the dating scene after spending twelve years with her partner. She soon understands how much of herself was sacrificed in her connection with her ex.If all you want is some fun to regain your confidence, the human mating site isn’t too horrible. Bella can act out some of the situations from the steamy romance novels she has read, in fact! There are lots of funny story turns and sexual enjoyment in online dating.Bella quickly discovers that being single in your thirties has never been more liberated in terms of sexuality.

Every page had you hanging on every sentence and I couldn’t wait to see what would happen. It is a very unique story with even compelling people. The story really transports you into this world. I couldn’t put the book down.
