My rating: 4 of 5 stars

 

4 – 4.5 Stars

 

The Human Mating Site Complete Series is a fun box set that contains the entire collection of The Human Mating Site series by B.L. Wilde. This is a spicy romp- 13 novella-length books that take us through all the highs and lows of plunging back into the dating pool after being married for 12 years.
Bella is now in her thirties and dating again after so long is quite a daunting thought- we watch as she grapples with the challenges that come from loss of confidence, to rediscovering herself again, her sexy ‘reawakening’/exploration, and all the humourous ‘adventures’ that make for fun reading.
Bella has been blindsided by a cheating husband (Mr. Wimp)- with twelve years of marriage down the drain. She’s ‘back on the market’ but feels quite lost – so she sets out on a journey to re-discover (find) the ‘woman’ she was before, who was lost and overlooked during her years of marriage. Things get a little messy, angsty, spicy, and fun- in the dating pool as Bella enjoys quite a few Mr. Right Now’s. Will she find her Mr. Perfect?
The Series Contains:
-Mr. Wimp (Book #1)
-Mr. Smooth (Book #2)
-Mr. Player (Book #3)
-Mr. Kinky (Book #4)
-Mr. Heartless (Book #5)
-Mr. Rich (Book #6)

-Mr. Rockstar (Book #10)
-Mr. Pushy (Book #11)
-Mr. B.S. (Book #12)
-Mr. Almost Perfect (Book #13)

This series/stories remind me a little bit of ‘The Calendar Girl’ series by Audrey Carlan, and the ‘Rebel and a Saint’ series by Kitty Kendall.
Get you book-binge on with fun romcom boxset.
Happy Reading…

Thank you, B.L. Wilde!

Murder in Prospect (Eve Sawyer Mystery Series Book #5) by Jane Suen – Review by Angela Hayes

Murder in Prospect: An Eve Sawyer MysteryMurder in Prospect: An Eve Sawyer Mystery by Jane Suen
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

 

4.5 Stars

 

‘ I needed to think about how to proceed. A murderer might be in our midst. ’

First let’s take a moment to appreciate this gorgeous cover….. my favourite of the series, so far!
Murder In Prospect is the fifth intriguing instalment in the Eve Sawyer Mystery Series by Jane Suen. This series just gets better and better with each new instalment, and I really enjoy following Eve along as she unravels some puzzling little mysteries.
We join Eve Sawyer, who sets off to support her friend, Bob, who has recently lost his beloved uncle. Things don’t quite add up – and Eve becomes suspicious about the events leading up to the Uncle’s death. And as we’ve come to expect, murder and plenty of trouble seem to follow Eve wherever she goes. What happens makes for an engrossing read.
Murder In Prospect is another great little cozy mystery – well woven with clever little touches that kept me guessing. A story of crime and investigation, friendship, amateur detective/s, a whodunit feel, agendas, a plot for revenge, suspense, drama, danger, interesting characters, secrets, lies/deception, tension, and a small-town setting.
This story could be read as a standalone. But, I highly recommend reading the previous books, as there are some spoilers for other book/s contained here – while the other books also provide some great little mysteries to untangle with character details, development, and other relevant information which will certainly enhance your appreciation and enjoyment of this book (as well as the series as a whole).
Can’t wait to see what Eve gets up to next. Bring on Book #6!
Happy Reading…

Thank you, Jane Suen!

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

Magic-Price
C. L. Scheider outdid herself in this magical book of perseverance and tough life decisions. It reminds the reader to think before you act. There are consequences to every wish we make in life. I love that this story takes us through Ian Troy’s life, showing us where he was before he found the Crown of Stones and how he feels about being a magic user. Then allows us to see the consequences his wish has caused to himself and everyone. Fast forward ten years later, when all Ian wants to do is forget that he’s ever been a magic user, causing his mind to remain in a fog with his drinking habits, when everything he had been running from has caught up to him. What will Ian do, will he go back to his old ways and use his magical abilities, or will he remain constantly on the run? Read this first book to find out…I am so excited to start book #2!

Magic-Scars
Ian Troy is back in this second installment of The Crown of Stones series, Magic-Scars. I was so excited to jump right into this book to follow the fate that Ian had befallen after his tragic mistakes had come about from wishing with the Crown of Stones. Now that Ian’s finally freed from his captivity, he enters a world full of people being unsettled and fearful for their lives. Ian’s old enemy Draken of Langor has taken control of Mirra’kelan and is a terrifying king who rules with an iron fist. Ian finds himself amongst a group of rebels who are seeking a way out of their situation. As Ian tries to find and put back together the Crown of Stones, he is faced with odd marks appearing across his skin, that continue to multiply in number as his search continues. What is the meaning of these magical scars that are appearing, do they have anything to do with the Crown of Stones? Will he be able to help the group of rebels to find their freedom, and regain his use of magic without overloading his addictions? You will not want to set this book down as you follow Ian Troy’s latest adventure.

Magic-Borne
In this final tale of The Crown of Stones series, we are excited to find out what the fate of Ian Troy will be. The rebellion has been destroyed, and so many have passed due to the violence. Mirra’kelan is now under new rule with another self-appointed emperor, the people are even more fearful for their lives. Ian Troy will have to come out of hiding to help save his friends and family. Will he be able to continue to utilize his magic and not fully give over to the beast inside of him or will he be able to hold onto his humanity? Will Ian’s premonitions come to pass, or will his trip to the ancient past bring about peace and serenity for his people? This book series just continues to grow in suspense and the thrill of watching Ian Troy strive to undo everything he had brought to pass from his first run-in with the Crown of Stones. This book has amazing characters that you will be so in-depth that you may lose yourself in the pages as you ride along this exciting journey of war, love, and the drive to never give up.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is the first book of the series. I highly recommend it. I couldn’t put it down. Ian is a magical and sword fighting man. He has women constantly trying to be with him. He was in the war 10 years ago that he trying to forget. But someone returns and makes him relive some of the moments he has been trying to forget. I cannot wait until book two.

The second book just keeps getting better. Like the first I highly recommend it. Ian has everything taken away from him, after he captured. He has to fight to keep alive and learn who to trust. Can he do or does he give up? Ready for book three.

This is the last book of series. It was just as great as the other two. Ian has to time travel to fix past mistakes. He needs to try to save himself before he can save everyone else. Is he able to do it?

Back in the Ring (The Predator #4)Back in the Ring by Brooke May
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I am a huge fan of Brooke May’s books, especially The Predator series. I was so happy that this book is all about Noah’s story and that we get to know his character on a deeper level. This story starts immediately with a tragedy, which had me in tears from the first page. After reading the Prologue and learning of the tragic occurrence that befell Noah, you get to read all about our new characters including a widower, Bijou, and her daughter Claire, who run a community center in their small town in Georgia. After the tragedy Noah experienced, he moved his family to this small town in Georgia, where he went to heal. What a beautiful story that unfolds as Noah and Bijou meet and work together to improve the quality of the community center. I was so excited when some special characters made an appearance from the past Predator series, no spoilers on who, but know that the storylines do continue with some little hints as the storyline goes along following Noah’s new life. Happy reading as you continue this newest installment of The Predator series.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

After reading books 1-3 in this series I was excited to start the fourth. Back in the Ring was a well written, easy flowing, spicy, fitting addition to The Predator series. Bijou and Noah are both single parents who after losing their significant others have continued on raising their little ones, but when they meet each other will it all work out for good, or not? I enjoyed reading their story very much.

Wildfire Knockout (The Predator #3)Wildfire Knockout by Brooke May
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This author is one that I never pass up because they write marvelous and engaging stories! This is the third book in The Predator series, and it has been absolutely incredible so far. I highly recommend reading the first two books in the series before jumping right into this one. There is plenty of background you’ll want to learn about to truly experience this one. Not to mention that you’ll be extremely addicted after the first few pages. Just like the previous two, I couldn’t find it in myself to stop reading for even a moment which may have led me to walking straight into a wall at one point. Other than the bruise from that, I have zero bad things to say about this book! It may be a quick read, but I promise the author does an amazing job providing all the details of a much longer read. The spicy chemistry is magnificent, and I fell in love with the characters all over again. If you’re looking for an unforgettable contemporary romance to get lost in for the day, look no further!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Alchemy of Glass is the second book in the Apothecary Series. It follows Gaelan in the aftermath of book 1, The Apothecary’s Curse. He’s left facing the consequences of his actions while immortal. His only hope is Anne Shaw. Despite their past will she help him change the future?

This was a fantastical story that weaves through time. The author has done a great job of mixing genres to create this world. Even if you haven’t read the first book you’ll still enjoy this story. But as always I do recommend reading them in order, it will help with some details.

This was the first book I had picked up by this author, but the cover alone was incredibly intriguing. Once I read the synopsis, I knew I was in for quite a ride. I dove right in and lost myself in this gripping story that is packed with suspense! Harper is an incredible main character, and the chemistry between her and Caleb is magnificent. The author has created characters that you root for and feel their experiences as your own. Just when I thought I figured out what was happening, another twist was waiting around the corner! I couldn’t find one slow moment to put this book down, so I ended up reading the entire thing in a day. I don’t regret it, and I’d do it again! With this being the first book I had read by this author, it blew me away and set the bar pretty high for the next. I’m excited to see what they have in store for us next! If you enjoy the romantic suspense genre, don’t pass this up!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

“Back in the Ring” by Brooke May is the fourth installment in The Predator Series, but it stands well on its own. The story follows Bijou Augustine, a young widow struggling to keep her late husband’s dream alive while raising her daughter in a small Georgia town. The arrival of Noah, a mysterious mountain man with his past traumas, brings new challenges and unexpected hope into Bijou’s life.

May’s writing is engaging, and she skillfully balances themes of grief, resilience, and new beginnings. The characters are well-developed, making it easy to connect with their journeys. This book is a heartfelt exploration of healing and finding strength in adversity.

Dark is the Wood is a young adult fantasy. This mix of Little Red Riding Hood and Beauty and the Beast meets dragons takes us on a well-written adventure. Gillian finds herself going to the Shadowlands to save her brother when she ends up caught by the son of The Great Dragon. This book has it all. The world-building is detailed and intriguing. The characters are all very interesting. I can easily see myself reading a story about any one of them. The main character Gillian is easy to relate to. The reactions and decisions she had/made were very understandable. The book pulls you in right from the beginning. The romance was good and not overwhelming. This was an easy-to-read and fun YA Fantasy.

Malice (Demented Souls Book) by Melissa Steven. This is the 10th book in the Demented Souls Series and it can be read as a standalone but I always recommend reading them in order.

As they spend time together they begin to have feelings for one another but can she trust a man again. Will Bonnie go back to her ex just to get him to leave her alone?

Master Romano (Book Four in the Masters of the Consulate Series)
By Sylvia Black

First to Sylvia after reading five of your books you have well and truly extended my reading genre into Vampire stories. Book four is just as beautifully written as the other books in this series. I like the writing style it makes the books so easy to read and enjoyable. In this book we follow Romano and Raven. Before you read their story, I hope you have read the series from the beginning as like I have said previously its good to get some background information. So, we have Romano who as the story suggests has a dark soul, but does he? Raven said to be smart and somewhat playful and would have no problems standing up to Romano. Out of all the Vampires and their mates, I think Romano and Raven could possibly be the best together, but this is just a personal opinion. Romano finds himself in a spot of trouble as a loyal confidant has gone wayward and as a result he is being investigated to see if he has anything to do with it, now he needs to prove his innocence. Romano says he can not trust any witches, Raven has always been afraid Vampires solely because of the stories behind them. Raven is saved by Romano which brings some sort of understanding between them and due to this they get close, and the start of their romance begins. Now these two need to be able to work together not only to hopefully save her family but also to prove the other vampires that he can be trusted. Can this be achieved? You will need to read the book to find out.

Bella is on a journey to find herself and to do that she has to start loving herself again. She decides to go on a quest to liberate herself with the help of Mr. Right(Now) and I am happy to be a part of her journey. These books are steamy, witty, and sassy. I love Bella as a main character and I hope she eventually finds Mr. Right.

I had already read a few of the earlier books in the series so when I saw the complete series in one spot, I knew I had to read the rest.

Bella meets all kinds of different men, some are charming, sweet, sexy while others are liars, boring and downright abusive. Throughout the series, I couldn’t decide who would be best for Bella. I narrowed it down to Liam or Jenson. This series was a rollercoaster ride as Bella became more confident and started branching out more.

Bella is such a sweet woman who is curvy, sassy, and witty. She deserves the best. She will just have to work hard on finding it.

Master Trentino (Book Three in the Masters of the Consulate Series)
By Sylvia Black

Master Trentino is book three in this series. I do have to say the more books I read in this series the more I am enjoying the storyline. This book we find its centred around Trentino and Angel. It is good to see some of the characters from previous books and to read how well they engage with each other. As with Slyvia’s brilliant writings this book is another one that will take you on a roller coaster ride of emotions and is another quick read. As we already know Trentino is a vampire master, Angel however as a medium can speak to the departed, her family is also part of the mafia. Her family has always hated the vampire community for as long as she can remember. Now Angel has met Trentino, and she feels that there is some sort of connection between the both of them. She has put herself in the wrong place at the wrong time and now Trentino must save her, and to save her she has now joined the vampire community which her and her family have hated for the longest time. I have to say on a personal note that this book is my favourite from what I have read so far, who knows later it could be another book. What I also liked about this book was the strength that each of the characters showed. Grab a coffee relax and read this book.

Since I am doing this review on the complete series, I will not do my review on each individual book as I was going to as it would make for one exceptionally long review. The cover of the series I was not too fussed on, that is it for the do not like part of my review. Having never read anything by B.L. Wilde before I was not sure what to expect. But let me say that I was pleasantly surprised with the way each novella was written. Boy, do we ever go on some journey with Miss Bella. She sure did meet some nice men, but also some horrible jerks as well, the jerks I just wanted to punch. Guess that is the way go through life from the toad to the prince to find our love. Jenson (Mr Kinky), was my favourite out of all the Mr’s. I must say that B.L. Wilde absolutely floored me with Mr Almost Perfect, I did not see that coming at all. Honestly, you can not go wrong with reading the complete series, so what is stopping you?

When Tessa realizes she is being stalked, and she gets no help from the police, she hires a private detective, and things take off from there. The suspense was suspensing. The romance was romancing. A slow, will they, won’t they. The climax of the story had me literally gasping lout loud. This book was inclusive and had a wonderful steady plot from start to finish.

This captivating contemporary romance has a dark element to it and had me hooked throughout. Nicole has always been the good girl, until she has a one night stand whilst on holiday in Costa Rica. To her horror the man turns out to be her professor. Callum is equally shocked to find the girl he had a holiday fling with is now his student and now off limits to him. However, he’s a Titan and used to getting what he wants, and he wants Nicole. The pair begin a forbidden liaison but secrets don’t stay secret for long. Someone wants to ruin Callum’s career and tries to use Nicole to do so. When they also develop an obsession with her Callum realises that power and money mean nothing compared to her. Once again the dark world of the Titans of Chicago was brought vividly to life through the descriptive narrative. I felt immersed in the storyline and engaged with the characters whilst the plot twists kept me gripped.

It seems that no matter where she goes, Eve finds herself caught up in yet another murder mystery. That’s one of the reasons I enjoy this series so much, because you never know what Jane has in store for us.
Once again, Eve puts on her super sleuthing hat to help a friend uncover the truth behind his uncle’s death. However, this case is proving to be difficult, and a second murder has occurred. Eve will need all her skills if she hopes to discover who is behind these murders. She soon finds that every question seems to lead to more questions.
“Murder in Prospect” is another exciting cozy mystery story in the Eve Sawyer Mystery series. While all the books can be read as standalone, I highly recommend going back to the first book to find out where this determined and quirky young woman started.
What secrets are being concealed in this small, historic mining town?

OMG, all thirteen fab Rom-Com books in one delicious cover. None of the stories are long but they pack a punch and keep you engrossed as you follow along on the journey to find Mr Right! It is packed full of sexy fun. I was sad to see it end because I enjoyed it so much I wanted more. Who doesn’t love a good story where the MC loves to read, loves her hot and steamy books, and wants to play out her fantasies?
The series starts with Bella as she navigates the online dating world once again as her cheating, low-life husband Mr. Wimp blames her for their woes when it is all his fault. Revenge is sweet. Throw in some amazing and loving friends, some dancing, lots of wine, flirting, some great and liberating sex and some burning up of sheets, some alpha hot and sexy men, and some witty banter that will have you laughing out loud then you have yourself a lot of fun and super spicy tales as Bella looks for the perfect man for her. I love and am addicted to this series!
There are a lot of Mr Wrongs out there but is there a Mr Right? To find out who he is you should get a copy of this book and dig in.
There are 13 novellas all together in the Human Mating Site series and I loved each and every one of them.

• Mr Player
• Mr Kinky
• Mr Heartless
• Mr Rich
• Mr Boring

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

5 Stars 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Back in the Ring is Book 4 in The Predator Series and I am enjoying this series. I recommend reading this series from the beginning as you get to know the characters in each book. I knew I would devour this story of Noah and Bijou right from the beginning prologue. This story gave me raw emotion of loss, secrets and grief but also a second chance for two people who deserved nothing but the best in each other.

Noah is looking to move forward in his life, finding a small town to start over looking for purpose. Finding that purpose that includes Bijou and her youth center may be the right start. All Bijou needs is a sign to continue keeping the center open….that sign is Noah. Can these two hearts find a way to listen to each other and heal……

This is a fantastic story that I could not put down. I really loved Noah and Bijou’s story.

Finding Hope: A Small Town Beach Romance (Half Moon Bay #1)Finding Hope: A Small Town Beach Romance by Erin Brockus
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Hope is down on her luck when her bf breaks up with her and she loses her job all within a couple weeks. Her sister enters her into a contest without her knowledge, to win a tropical scuba resort and Hope wins! Her sister has to convince her to take the plunge and step out of her “predictable” life, but she finally agrees to accept her winnings and move to St Croix. She meets the scuba instructor, Alex, who hides some secrets of his own. They just might find healing within each other that they didn’t know they needed. This was a great read for summer. It kept me engaged and the writing/descriptions were well done. Will definitely read more from this author.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book was a complete hit with all of the family from the minute we started reading. Both my kids have a really close and lovely relationship with their of “Gramma” so I think they found this story really easy to connect with. They couldn’t wait to find where Gramma would next be found.
The illustrations really added so much to the story. They really seemed to bring it to life and made it all the more enjoyable to read. The book is fun, lively and engaging from the first page. This really is a brilliant story that our whole family loved.

Alchemy of GlassAlchemy of Glass by Barbara Barnett
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book is a brilliant follow up to the first in the series, and I would highly recommend reading them in order for full enjoyment. This book picks up after the events of the first but really takes you on an exciting and fantastical journey. This time we get to follow Gaelen as he traverses through different times, taking the reader on an interesting journey. I loved watching how his character developed throughout this book. It was fitting to the overall story and really did his character justice.
I thought the overall story was a great addition to the series. It was interesting and had a lot going on. The author does a great job of handling a complex storyline. This was a brilliant book, even better than the first and I hope to see more from these characters.

Wildfire Knockout (The Predator Series) by Brooke May – Review by Kerry Carr

Wildfire Knockout (The Predator #3)Wildfire Knockout by Brooke May
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the 3rd book in the Predator series. This is another contemporary romance which is hard hitting, sizzling with chemistry, humour and banter between our main characters, secrets and traumas from the past that rise it’s head.
Where as the first 2 books in the series deal with KC and Chamberlain’s relationship this story focuses on Beth and Scott.

The attraction and chemistry between Beth and Scott is electric but it is hidden behind anger and smart ass comments. Scott knows that Beth wants him but she just won’t admit it. However Scott is determined to prove to her how perfect they are together. But there are things about Beth’s past that Scott doesn’t know. Things that have affect her as a person and that still pose a risk even though neither of them realise it.

Beth had a rough childhood. After her mother abandoned her and left her with her abusive father. Beth grew up not trusting me and keeping herself closed off from everyone. When she finally gets the chance to escape her father she does just that.
After changing her name and moving on with her life she thinks things are going good, until her past catches up to her.
After telling Scott all about her past and the horrors that happened to her will he still want her knowing she is so damaged? And what happens when Beth finds herself back in danger, will she be able to save herself once again?

This is a really good read. My heart broke for Beth for all that she went through and for the effect it still has on her life. I loved how Scott was determined to give her time to realise that he was always going to stand by her and not hurt her. It was nice to read and get to know these characters a bit more in this story.
