My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This was such a jaw-dropping beautiful start to a series! The author does such a perfect job painting each scene in your head with elaborate details. I feel like each page provided vivid imagery with only text which is incredibly difficult to do. I always love it when maps and descriptions are displayed in the beginning of books to help set the stage so to speak. Each character felt relatable in their own way, and I was completely invested from the beginning. While this is a long read, there is no way you will leave disappointed. I am already eagerly anticipating the second book in an already flawless series!

Acting Counsel (Kings of Screen, #3)Acting Counsel by Morgana Bevan
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This was a great 5 star read. I was pulled in right from the beginning. I really enjoyed the characters and their bantering. Nathan and Catrina were great characters. Catrina as a rule can’t date her clients, but Nathan has other plans. The more they work together the harder it gets for her to resist him. I enjoyed watching things grow between them. Will she give into Nathan? What will happen with her job? Overall I really enjoyed this read. I really liked seeing some of the other characters from previous books. Like a reunion of sorts. The author does a great job with her writing, you feel like you’re right there with the characters. I can’t wait to read more from this series. 1-click and get started today.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I think inneed a cold shower after reading thks sexy romantic story. Dane and Mike are madly in love but there was something missing. This was a fast paced sexy romance. The story was a unique twist on traditional relationships but equally filled with love. I liked the build up of Mike and Dane’s quest for finding a third in their relationship. However, the ending seemed really rushed with Vanessa and Vy. I felt like Vy had super important role in the book but turned into an after thought. Overall, interesting and enjoyable read.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Seen, is an original sci-fi story set in a dystopian world full of mystery, murder, emotional family drama, and trust issues. The brother-sister bond between Mouse and Meph creates depth to the plot as they struggle to survive and keep the bone strong. The author did a good job crafting a vivid and detailed world in which to set her story. The individual character arcs were well-developed with their own unique personalities, quirks, and flaws. This is a novel worth reading.

Editor Kill Fee (Taylor Browning Cozy Mysteries #3)Editor Kill Fee by G.G. Collins
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Editor Kill Fee was a wonderful murder mystery. It had some intense topics such as drug smuggling, murder and kidnapping, but was pretty light hearted. It maintained the mystery until the very end, but not in a thriller type, more a cozy mystery. There are so many people in this story, with each chapter focusing on the POV of one. It was hard to keep everyone straight in the beginning but by the halfway point, I couldn’t put it down. It sounds like there are previous books, as there is references to other events surrounding both Jim and Taylor, but it was enjoyed as a stand-alone. [ETA- this is book 3 in the Taylor Browning Cozy Mysteries series]. I look forward to reading more if it is a series. I enjoyed the references to the culture and history of New Mexico, you can tell the author did their research.

Chester does not want to clean his room when his mom asked, so like any typical kid, he goes outside. While playing in his sand box, the “messy kids” come out to play. Eventually they follow him inside where Chester gets some help in cleaning up his room.

First of all, I LOVE the illustrations in this book! They are very vivid and appealing to the eye! Second, this is a story that kids can relate too. So can moms! It’s a good life learning story about the value of help, but also of teaching others what you need help with.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Fireflies was my first read by this author, and I was pleasantly surprised! I absolutely loved reading about Dane and Mike’s open-minded, polyamorous relationship and how well they communicated. There is plenty of drama, and the author makes they don’t show only the pretty parts. Vy felt hard to connect with, but people can be that way in life so in a way it made it even more relatable. I felt like the chapters were a bit short, so I was jolted out of the flow a little bit, but overall I enjoyed reading about this adventure. If steamy, spicy M/M and M/M/F scenes are your jam, this is most definitely the book for you! I can’t wait to pick up more books by A.R. Hadley.

Fireflies

I have read a few poly books in the past and though I enjoyed them they don’t hold a candle to this book.

There are some pretty hot moments, but it was also written well. There was something that drew me in and wouldn’t let me go.

Mike and Dane are a perfect match for one another, but they feel like they are missing an important piece. That’s were it gets complicated and interesting.

This book is not for the faint of heart, the intimate moments are described perfectly and I definitely got a visual due to the detail she provided.

Ms. Hadley is a new to me author but she has me wanting to read more by her in the future.

Fireflies (The Physical Collection) by A.R. Hadley. This is the first book I’ve read by this author and it was very erotic. Its a story of two men who are bisexual that live together and have been together for 7 years. Mike is 50 and Dane is 41 and they live in a backwoods town in Florida. Mike thinks they are just fine until Dane tells him he would like to add a woman to their relationship and maybe even have a family one day. Mike is ok with it but also a little wary. They have several one night stands with different women and then Mike brings Vanessa into the situation. Mike knows Vanessa thru work and he thinks she would be a great new partner. The only problem is Dane has met a woman named Vylana at a bar a while back and he can’t get her off his mind. He is almost obsessed with her. The big problem is he hasn’t really had much interaction with Vylana and she lives out of state. Not sure how that is going to work out. There are other problems that pop up thru the search for the perfect woman. This story is a hot and steamy take a cold shower type of read that you won’t soon forget!

This was an interesting dystopian read! I really enjoyed the characters and the way the author wrote them. This story takes place in the past and the present following different characters’ points of view. Juliana was definitely my favorite character. I admire her strength and desire to do what’s right. I like the plot of this dystopian world and am looking forward to where the author takes us in book 2. I also enjoyed how in depth the book was without being overwhelming. It is definitely a fine line to accomplish that in a story. Definitely worth the read!!!

From the very beginning, this dystopian had elements of the story that reminded me of Hunger Games and Divergent. I enjoy venturing into the new realms of dystopian novels and this one did not disappoint! It is a bit confusing in the beginning learning how the sequence of events converge. Just to warn readers that this book is a bit lengthy but well worth it. The main theme is a society on a mission to seek peace and order, and as a result castes are created. As special abilities emerge within a small group of people in the castes, seeking justification is sought out but efforts seem to fail. The determination is quite evident and they are seeking for their place in the world!

I was very impressed with this book. I was actually very intrigued with the whole thing. It was so well written that reading about the circus and the training you really feel like you’re sitting there watching it unfold before your eyes. It was so detailed that I almost forgot I was reading it. the love and chemistry that happens between the two main characters Cassandra and chandler made me feel like I was involved in something that I wasn’t supposed to know about. It kept me wanting to read more, I really couldn’t put it down. I felt like I couldn’t read it fast enough to find out what was going to happen next. I usually don’t grab romance reads but this book had me on an emotional journey, it was a little slow but the action, love scenes were well worth it.

This is the third book in the Kings of Screens series. Such a good book. Catrina is a lawyer who tries her best to follow the rules. When she sleeps with a man only to find out later he is her new client, it becomes harder to follow the rules. Nathan is one of the kings of screen and he wants her. The chemistry between these two is electric. I loved the way the characters from the previous books made their appearance but Nathan and Cat are more than enough to make this book a keeper.

Once I read the description on this book, I knew I had to give this book a go! This is my first poly book and I enjoyed it very much! The dynamics between all the characters and the interactions just make the experience of it all. Very steamy scenes and great character development. Dane and Mike have been in a 7-year relationship and have been discussing opening it up to bring a female into the equation as a part of a trio to share their life with one another. What they didn’t expect was finding two women and the issues that emerge from seeking possibilities. This book may not be everyone’s cup of tea but if you are willing to be open minded or even share similar ideals then this book is a great entertaining read! Enjoy!

The Wandering Isles (The Crown of Stones)The Wandering Isles by C.L. Schneider
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The Wandering Isles: A Crown of Stones Novella (Soulbound Journeys Book 1) by C. L. Schneider a short dark fantasy.

All the pleasant feelings associated with discovering and reading the first book years ago came flooding back to mind as I read about Ian and Jarryd again.

Ian and Jarryd set out towards an unknown island at the start of the novel, where they encountered unusual onlookers and supernatural beings who offered them a “trade”. I was left wondering what their business was, who they were, and captivated by their race because the whole trading thing is a little sketchy and the details are vague. I savored every instant of their interactions with Ian, pausing briefly in wonder.

As a side aside, this could probably be read alone. The author did an excellent job of bringing to mind who these historical figures were and why they were significant. Overall, a really entertaining book.

Every page was exciting and I couldn’t wait to see what would happen. The story really brings excitement into your life. I couldn’t put the book down

Acting Counsel (Kings of Screen, #3)Acting Counsel by Morgana Bevan
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book was an amazing read. Morgana did an excellent job of developing the characters and the story.

This book follows Cat and Nathan. Cat is a determined associate attorney looking to make a step up in her career at her current job. Nathan is a famous actor working on a new business venture.

Cat gets the opportunity of her career and the chance for the promotion that she has been working so hard to get. What happens when that opportunity brings her face-to-face with one of the most charismatic men she has ever met? Nathan is used to women throwing themselves at his feet and trying to stroke his ego. Cat is used to not letting men into her world at all.

What happens with a rule follower meets a ruler breaker? Can you trust the word of someone you hardly know? What happens when you tell a man who is used to getting what he wants no? Can two really keep a secret?

Read this book to find out what happens with the lawyer and the actor. Will they fall in love or will they watch their worlds burn? This book has some heat so keep to water nearby.

When I saw that this book was MMF erotic romance. I said Heck yeah! This is right up my alley. It is part of a series, but reading it as a standalone is no problem. And it is spicy! We have our MM couple Dane and Mike. Dane seems to think something is missing from their relationship. And suggests adding some fun and spice in the form of a woman. The story was well written and fun to read. The characters were very much their own. I truly enjoyed this from start to finish.

The Messy Kids is a fun 30-page story with bright and colourful illustrations by Nicolas Milano. The pictures bring Lois’s words to life. Children as well as adults will enjoy. It is nice to read children’s books that bring such joy.
I like that Lois’s stories have messages within and that we get to share these with our children or grandchildren or those that we love. These books are geared for kids ages 4-8 years of age. It is nice to sit with them and watch as the gears turn, and their imaginations run wild.
Chester has better things to do and honestly what child likes to clean up after themselves especially when it is not him making the mess. All he has to do is teach cat-faced aliens. Easy, right?
An excellent book not just for special occasions.

Acting Counsel
By: Morgana Bevan

This book is the third book in the kings of screen series. However, it most definitely can be read as a standalone.
This is not the first book I have read by Morgana Bevan. I have come to expect a few things from a Morgana Bevan book. The first is well written characters who are well developed and have fantastic (read: sizzling) chemistry. I know the plot will be super fast paced. And I know that I will not be willing to put the book down until it is finished. This one is absolutely no exception.
Catrina and Nathan are well developed characters and they have such fantastic banter. The type of banter that exists between two people who have such fantastic chemistry. This is a dual POV storyline that is done very well. I am a big fan of a dual POV as it lets you experience situations from both of the main peoples perspectives. I loved that we got to experience the story from both Catrina and Nathan rather than just one of them. Their chemistry and attraction just leapt off the page. I definitely recommend this story!

This is the 3rd book in what has become one of my favourite fun easy-read series. Each book can be read as a standalone, but I recommend reading them all, especially as past characters make an appearance.

I enjoy the author’s writing style, it’s easy to follow and draws you into the world of Hollywood through the scenery depicted and characters created. The characters are developed and show growth as the book progresses.

This was a fun read which follows Nathan and Catrina as the work closely together after their ‘history’. I was rooting for them, as with every couple in the series so far, from the beginning.

I can’t wait to get hold of the next in the series!

I love this series! I fell in love with the first in the series and so had to read the second. It’s just as good if not better!

I don’t usually watch reality TV; I find it too cringey, but this wasn’t an issue reading this book. There’s a solid foundation to the plot (which is what is lacking for me in over the top reality TV) and the characters are well developed with their back stories and personal growth in the story. It was a fun read as was the first, and I’m sure the author is quickly becoming a favourite of mine.

I enjoyed Abi and Finn as a couple and I’m sad that their story has ended, but I look forward to the next book and next couple!
