Malice (Demented Souls #10)Malice by Melissa Stevens
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Malice (Demented Souls Book 14)

How did so many books get released without me realizing it? I have no idea but now I need to find time to get caught up.

Malice who appears to be one of the newer ranch hands and patched in member of the Demented Souls was in the right place at the right time and steps in to help a woman for other reason then to be a good guy and do the right thing.

Bonnie is gutsy, she wasn’t going to allow someone to dictate to her how she should live her life. Pride is a good thing but when it gets in the way of making the right choice then it’s time to let that go.

I liked how the guys all worked together on the ranch and other things that popped up. Definitely a brotherhood and wish women would do this more of one another.

This was quite an introduction to the Demented Souls but also to Ms. Stevens and her books.

This was a very exciting first book in this series! As the story progresses, each character reveals part of themselves and their background story. The main focus is on the character of Gillian, who is strong and does what she can in helping her ill brother. There are stories and myths about what lies beyond the forest surrounding Gillian’s home and although the stories bring darkness and fright, she is very determined in helping her brother. As she travels into the forest, she encounters Roman, who takes hold of Gillian with the intentions of what his father would gain with her. Eventually his intentions start becoming that of his own and away from his father’s demands. This story has dragons, fantasy, romance and adventure. Lots more to look forward to!

Bijou Augustine is walking a fine line as a young widow she is trying to save her youth center while raising her daughter. Stretched thin she is at the end of her rope. When Noah begins to help, Bijou is not certain what the feelings growing between them means. Noah is keeping something from her though will Bijou be willing to accept his secrets or will it tear them apart.

I really liked Bijou, her daughter was spot on for tween years. I could easily visualize the dramatics. Noah is terrific and thought he was a wonderful partner to Bijou. Another great book in the series and completely different then the other books.

Shadowed Storm (Shadow Defense Security, #4)Shadowed Storm by Mavery Ellscott
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This entire series is a must read!! Each of these books *could* be read as stand alones, but you’re cheating yourself if you don’t read them all! There is an overarching theme that travels through each book, as well as several of the characters, so I highly recommend it.

There is non-stop action when Alexis discovers that her former research professor is about to unleash a strain of algae that could wipe out the world through the water supply. She will stop at nothing to confront him with this and try to put a stop to his actions. It’s not long before Alexis learns that she’s being pursued by people trying to stop her from stopping the exposure of this corruption.

Seb is an ex-Navy SEAL that is set out to protect Alexis on her endeavors. He’s trying to keep her safe while she’s worried about keeping him and his friends safe. They make a great team!

I want to talk about the ending but I won’t because I don’t want to ruin anything for anyone. However, Ms. Mavery Ellscott, if you are reading this, please get book #5 out ASAP! 🙂

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I had picked up the first four books in the box set collection awhile back and immediately fell in love with the author’s writing style. When I saw the complete series out, I grabbed it without hesitation! We’re taken on a range of emotions as Bella goes through a divorce and begins finding herself again. She also finds herself in the new-age dating world with each book documenting the Mr. Guy she has found for the time being. This box set was incredibly steamy, but also surprisingly funny and had me laughing out loud multiple times. I really enjoyed that the men she met were completely different from each other because a lot of romance books find the female character stuck between two very similar guys. My favorites were Mr. Kinky and Mr. Almost Perfect, although I truly did enjoy each and every one of them. You’ll find yourself invested in Bella as she makes you feel each emotion, crying from heartache and laughing at her quick wit. I had such fun finally getting to read the entire collection. Don’t pass this up, it’s not like anything you’ve read before!

The Crown of Stones Complete TrilogyThe Crown of Stones Complete Trilogy by C.L. Schneider
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This trilogy is absolutely fascinating and will be one of your best reads of the year! With the action, drama, and fantasy, there isn’t anything the author left out.

Ian Troy wakes up not only wondering where he is but WHO he is. As his memory slowly seeps in with bits and pieces of what has happened, he questions what kind of person he really is. His purpose is to fix the Crown of Stones, but what he uncovers may be more than he can handle. Will he be able to successfully repair this and heal what has transpired amongst his people or will he be rendered useless?

I think C.L. Schneider created an absolutely stunning realm in this series. While I am so sad to see this series coming to an end, Magic-Borne is a dazzling read! This has been my favorite fantasy series in such a long time. C.L. Schneider has an incredible way of wrapping you in their world and making you feel at one with each character. She is one of the authors that I follow very closely so I don’t miss anything! Ian has been through the ringer, and this is the continuation of his fight. The amount of action, magic, romance, and endurance that you can feel which means you’ll be right there alongside the characters the whole way. Be sure to start from the beginning of the series because this is a very detailed story with amazing world building and in-depth characters. I highly recommend this entire series because it is just mind-blowingly epic!

This is the first book I have read of The Merciless Few MC Series and actually the first I have read from this author. I can happily say it definitely won’t be my last. I really enjoyed this storyline with Reaper and Avi right from the very start. Reapers quick connection with Raven, his little Tater Tot, was so adorable. There is a lot going on and a definite Villain that you will absolutely 100% hate right from the first meeting. I will reading more of the Merciless Few for sure.

These books are full of magic, fantasy, action, romance, death, adventure, great characters, mystery. world building and so much more. I have left reviews on the books separately as I read them. I’m not going to recap the stories but I will say the author pulled me into each story and kept me captivated with the attention to detail I felt like I could picture everything. I had a hard time putting each book down, as soon as I finished one I needed to jump right into the next one so I could find out what happened next. I don’t want to give anything away, be ready to be taken on an adventure. I thoroughly enjoyed these books and I think you will too.

An enjoyable and engaging lighthearted romance which kept me happily turning the pages. Lucy has had a crush on the gorgeous bad boy rockstar Jesse Kingston since they briefly met years before. When they meet again and Jesse suggests they spend a weekend together Lucy decides to indulge her fantasies. However, one weekend may not be enough for either of them. This is a fun, flirty romance with plenty of humour and laugh out loud moments. The chemistry between Lucy and Jesse sizzles off the page and leads to some rather steamy scenes. I look forward to reading the rest of the series.

Wrecked (The Merciless Few MC)Wrecked by S. Courtney
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is a MC romance from an author that I havent read before. I love MC romances and I enjoyed this one just as much. This story is a gritty read full of twists and turns that keep you guessing. As it is an MC romance it also shows the strong relationship between the brother in the MC. Their bond is unbreakable which I love. I also love how members of the group are very much alpha males. They love hard and will protect what they care about against all odds.

In this story we meet Reaper. After finding out the woman he loves is cheating on him, he ends up being involved in a accident which pretty much destroys the other lady in his life, his bike.
As he starts to recover he struggles to overcome his fear of getting back on the bike. As well as steeling his heart against anymore romance he also needs to figure out if he can rekindle the passion he once had for riding his bike.

Avi is a woman who needs to escape. Her life is filled with abuse and torture and she needs to escape with her little girl to live with her brother and start a new life.
Little does she realise that her brother isn’t the same person as the one that left her. He is now a major drug lord and a very powerful person. Now she needs to find a safe place away from her brother and the person she meets is Reaper.

This is a story of two people who are damaged in their own way. Both of them are scared to let anyone in for fear of being hurt again. But together to reignite something inside each other that neither of them can deny. This story was a captivating read and I can’t wait to read more from this author.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Beth “Wildfire” Martin is a young woman with a bright future after a traumatic past which has left her reeling and hiding behind a protective wall of her own making so that her heart can remain safe. Scott Franks is the trainer that brought his best friend up the ranks in the boxing ring and now he has a new trainee and she is more than he bargained for.

As the two hit the road for Beth’s inaugural tour in the boxing leagues, they train hard and fight harder, especially when the places they stay sometimes mess up the reservations and Scott cannot stop himself from trying his hardest to win her over as she burrows deeper into his skin and soul. However, when they have downtime, Beth opens up to her best friend about her past, she is still desperately trying to deny her attraction to Scott, so she is equally frustrated and appreciative of him, especially when she decides to change her appearance after meeting a fan.

Will Beth ever be able to let her guard down and let her broken heart heal, or will she push Scott away like she has everyone else before he has the chance to hurt her too? This is a sporting romance where hope, healing and hurt all combine to attempt to create beauty after the wildfire burns through.

She never knew what she would find there but a trip through a doorway at the bottom of the ocean brings her to new friends, her mates, and a tournament she just has to win. This book is so unique and so fun with the perfect amount of steaminess. I knew right away that I would have to read the other books in this series. I love the relationships between the characters, they are so well written. Andrea is a great female lead as is written with so much strength. I really enjoyed this story.

Wrecked (The Merciless Few MC)Wrecked by S. Courtney
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This one is not what I expected out of an MC. Yes it has all the clubhouse raunchiness, attitude and they deal in pretty much anything. There are only four guys plus the prez so not a lot of different people to remember. They have the family attitude and it was a bit weird to see/watch Sam and Lucifer. I was surprised she would volunteer to be in the wet T-shirt contest (just seems out of character for the club mom).

As for the story I liked the idea of it. The female MC has struggles and shows she will do anything to survive. At times she has sass and while I get she was a bit miffed at her brother the way she blew up on him from the beginning made me wonder if his attitude towards her reflected that. I did like her story because she never quits.

Overall this is a good story with a lot of action and drama. On a personal level I really do not understand that Frankie. Good thing we did not see him being nice so we only know him as a monster.

I first picked up this book because the cover caught my eye. I kept reading this book because once I started, I couldn’t put it down. This story is absolutely fantastic, right from the word go. I was pulled in straight away and drawn to the characters. I thought they both went through so much character development. You could see their world expanding with each page and that just made me connect with them even more.
I thought the story really did them both justice too. It was exciting and really well written. I was hooked from the start and could not wait to see how it would end. I am so excited to read the next book in the series and I hope it is just as good as this one!

This is a fun and engaging booked about a child’s first day at school. Joe is desperate to learn how to read and this book is all about the adventure he goes on to try and satisfy this need. Both my kids are big readers so they found it fascinating to watch Joe on his mission.
For me, the illustrations in this book are what make it as good as it is. They really bring the story to life and make it feel like you are on the adventure with Joe, not just reading about him. I always enjoy a book my kids connect with, and this is definitely one of those. A fantastic story and I am sure it will be a household favourite.

The author’s way of telling the story is magical and so interesting that I did not want to put the book down. I will absolutely be reading the first one and then possibly this one again to get the full effect. That’s how good it is. Gaelen is a compelling character, and I had no trouble whatsoever getting wrapped up in his story and adventures. Trust me, you won’t want to miss this one!

Wrecked is the first book in a new MC series and the first book that I have read by this author. I was intrigued by the description of the story and couldn’t wait to discover the characters. This is a book that is full of angst and tension. The characters each come with their own type of baggage and need to figure out a way to try and make things work between them.
I thought the story was well written. Not only is it exciting to read but it sets the scene for the rest of the series really well. I already know this is a series I am going to enjoy the whole way through. I liked the authors writing style. It seems really suited to this type of book. I am looking forward to seeing what else she has to offer.

May continues to amaze me with her continuation of the Predator series. This is Noah’s story and tragedy has struck his life. Bijou is a small town widow struggling to keep the youth center she and her late husband dreamed of running and providing for their small town. When fate intervenes and pushes these two together, sparks fly and wounds are opened and healed. I really loved this story and though it did take a little bit of time to get into, I really loved seeing Bijou’s story and struggles with not only losing her husband very early on in their marriage, but now having to raise a tween girl on her own. I also loved seeing her relationship with her bestie, Mara. Again, May has outdone herself and I can’t wait to get my hands on her next book!

I absolutely loved this little novella about Scott and Beth’s story. It’s way more heartbreaking than you could have ever imagined but the redemption at the end for Beth is *chef’s kiss* and the way Scott fights for her is swoon worthy. I was so exciting to finally get to read their story and May did not disappoint with the spice or the drama. I’ve loved Beth’s character from the beginning of the series and to finally get her story was awesome. You don’t necessarily need to read the beginning of the series to understand this book but it will definitely help if you read Predator Parts 1 & 2. I cannot sing enough praises for this series! This was a super quick read too.
