Ghost Talker (Madame Chalamet Ghost Mysteries #1)Ghost Talker by Byrd Nash
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

As someone who has always been interested in what lies await for us in the afterlife, upon hearing that this series focuses on a medium in the Morpheus Society, I knew it was a no-brainer that I had to read this book. I have always been interested in the 1900s, which is when this book takes place, so enjoyed seeing ‘signs of the times’ throughout the story of a heroine and a duke up against a ghost. I loved the slow-burning romance that takes place between the two main characters, and found other characters you encounter to be well-written as well. I hope to see more of these characters in future novels, this one is certainly not the last that I will read by the author. Delicious Death, here I come!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

What a great prequel! This book makes me so excited to read the series. This was a quick read that packed a punch with great chemistry between Jack and Isaac, and a weekend full of steamy moments. I have no doubt that the second generation of Hawke’s will be just as good as the first. This author has a way of pulling you into the story line and keeping you entertained. This book leaves you on a cliffhanger wanting more. This is a must read.

If I could give this 10 stars, I would in a heartbeat! This is the prequel to the Hawke Family Second Generation Series! Super quick read but my gosh did it grab my attention from the first paragraph! I simply could NOT put this book down. I’m not writing any spoilers but just know the SPICE is 🔥 for being a short read the connection between the two main characters was incredible! There’s secrets, there’s romance, there’s angst, there hot as hell spice! I loved it all. I fell in love with the characters so damn fast that I need more! I read this in one sitting and when it ended, I screamed. Because I didn’t want the story to end lol. And that cliffhanger? My goodness. I can’t wait to read the next book!! Because I’m addicted to this one! Highly highly HIGHLY recommend!

I hadn’t read anything from Gwyn McNamee before, but I am *extremely* glad I picked this up. I was entranced from the first chapter and couldn’t get enough of this story! I couldn’t believe such a short read could have me so involved with the characters. The author did an outstanding job with this, and I have already picked up another collection of hers as soon as I finished this one. Night Hawke definitely has plenty of heat in it, pick it up and give this incredible author a read!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5 Stars!!

This series is fantastic….and I highly recommend listening this series from the beginning but it is also bittersweet it is the end…..

Dahlia, a dragon shifter, is trying to pick up the pieces of her life after the fall of Sentinel City…but with missing friends, the veil between the worlds, monsters galore…..will Dahlia finally bring her inner dragon out to help save the world?!?!

There is so much to this story… details that grab you and adventure and action that await! While I am sad this series is over (but will definitely listen to all the books again) I’m excited to see what the author brings out next for my listening pleasure.

The Taste of Light (The Winemakers Book 2) by Giovanna Siniscalchi – Review by Megan Pesek

The Taste of Light (The Winemakers, #2)The Taste of Light by Giovanna Siniscalchi
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

“The Taste of Light” is intense, yet beautiful which is exactly what I expected having already read “The True Purpose of Vines.” The villain from book 1 is the main character in book 2, an interesting twist.
The depth of the characters is remarkable. Pedro, Count of Almoster, is dark and broody, yet we see just enough light in him to root for his deliverance. Nothing in Pedro’s life has been easy, but he is so much more that what has happened to him. Anne is more than the young and naïve girl initially presented. She is resilient, resourceful, and the angel Pedro needs. Their story is a beautiful and passionate despite Pedro’s rocky past with Anne’s brother and sister-in-law.
The world-building in “The Taste of Light” was phenomenal and beautifully done. The descriptions are perfect and create a brilliant picture for the reader. The final scene with Ulrich seemed more like a movie than a book due to the descriptions, bringing the scene to life. Intense is an understatement. “The Taste of Light” is an extraordinarily stunning story of deliverance for the dark Count of Almoster.

Night Hawke
By: Gwyn McNamee

This is my first book by Gwyn McNamee and it most certainly will not be my last. This was an incredibly steamy romance that, like the characters, left me wanting more. Isaac and Jack were written with such depth and intrigue that I truly enjoyed them. This was definitely one of the best books I have ever read. I will caution that this book is incredibly steamy. I loved that about it though. This is the prequel to the Hawke Family series, however it definitely stands alone. I have not read a single book in this series and I was able to follow it all without being the least bit confused.

This book was so adorable! I read it to my 1 year old daughter. She really enjoyed the colorful pictures!
The storyline was a bit odd. I thought I was reading about 2 invisible magic wands but I think I was really reading about an earthquake? I was confused.
Regardless the book was entertaining.

Operation BlackbirdOperation Blackbird by Ellen Butler
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Operation Blackbird is a companion novel to The Brass Compass; however, I did not realize this before reading. I will say, that I loved this book. Ellen Butler had me hooked right away and I was taken into the Cold War,1952. Miriam goes undercover to extract a Russian scientist, his wife and daughter from East Berlin, with a team led by her colleague and childhood friend, Jacob Devlin.
When things go awry, Miriam has to trust other contacts to get the family to safety. This novel is full of dangerous situations and suspense. I loved the twists and turns throughout the book and the end surprised me. This is definitely worth the read.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

First, I must say I love this author! Everything I’ve read from them I’ve enjoyed. Although this wasn’t the usual genre that they write, I decided to give it a read just because of who wrote it. I was not disappointed.

The book starts off 3 years in the past. Dorian is in Hawaii for a job. When the job goes wrong, he ends up accidentally hurting Augustine. Feeling guilty, he keeps close by to make sure Augustine is fine. As time goes on, they start to develop feelings. Both men are happily married to their wives and realize that they should go their separate ways before a line is crossed.

Three years later, Augustine and his wife moved to a new town. Little did they know that Dorian also lived in this town. Augustine and Dorian’s wives meet and become fast friends causing the two men to enter back into each other’s lives.

As much as they try to avoid each other, old feelings start to creep back in. The men try to be friends for the sake of their wives.

This was a cute little romance book with a HEA. Even though it is a short read, it is still so emotionally detailed that it sucks you right in. Totally recommend reading this and anything else this author wrote.

I was not ready when I started this book! So far this is the second title I’ve read from this author-the first was book 1 in the Hawke Collection and I’m hooked-and it was one I didn’t want to put down! This is a steamy story about the heir to the Hawke throne-and his sexually explicit adventures prior to stepping into his new role. He meets an incredible woman why he just wants to physically enjoy…but isn’t it like attraction to every once in awhile give us the time of our lives with an unexpected love connection? This author takes to put on a ride from his point of view and it is wild! I won’t give it away but you’ve got to read to see what happens to this inseparable pair!

This us a fantastic series from start to finish, with each and every book juat getting better and better. The first time I read a book by this author I honestly didn’t think she could live up to the hype I had seen. I am so pleased to say that not only was I wrong but her work completely blew me away. And this series is the perfect example of why. It is engaging, complex, intense and has some amazing characters. With each of these books I haven’t been able to put them down, needing to finish then all in one sitting. This author is now one of those that I will buy without even looking at the book description. I wokke urge everyone to try her work today!

This book was an ok read for me. I had a really difficult time connecting with it because the relationships in the story made me anxious. I also had a difficult time connecting to the plot because of how I felt about the characters. I would read others by the author because I did enjoy the writing style. For me, the three stars was just about how I personally connected with it.

Delicious Death (Madame Chalamet Ghost Mysteries Book 2) by Byrd Nash – Review by Megan Conley

Delicious Death (Madame Chalamet Ghost Mysteries #2)Delicious Death by Byrd Nash
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Byrd Nash has done it again with the second installment of Madame Chalamet Ghost Mysteries. It is filled with humor, mystery, death, and so much more. We pick up not long after the first volume ends and both Madame Elinor Chalamet and her friend, Dr. Charlotte LaRue, are disappointed that there hasn’t been much death. That soon changes as all of Elinor’s worlds quickly collide and she has to work quickly to help solve the mysteries that plague the King’s Winter Revels.
While you don’t necessarily have to read the first volume, I highly recommend you do simply because you will have a better understanding of the characters and their relationships. I absolutely adore these novels. They are a quick read and while they do deal with paranormal and death, they don’t tend to be heavy.

Night Hawke (The Hawke Family Second Generation #0.5)Night Hawke by Gwyn McNamee
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Night Hawke is a short novella but is by no means lacking in intrigue and steam.
I was hooked from the very beginning of the first page and couldn’t put it down!
The novella was an easy read which contained perfectly crafted characters. I found myself wishing to know more about them all and found them to be very well written. The author’s style of writing throughout flowed nicely, and when descriptions were made, I was able to picture myself there as if seeing it for myself.
This novella is the prequel to the second series of the Hawke Family and was my introduction to this author. I am anxious to read the next books as this one certainly left me wanting more! Luckily, I’ll be able to read the 1st series of the Hawke Family while I wait for the next book(s) following this prequel to be released.

To say that this story is sizzling hot is an understatement. I haven’t even read the Hawke Family first generation but if it’s anything like this one, I’ll read everything I can about this family. “Nolan” is smouldering hot. He’s good looking, smart and fit. He knows what he wants and he’s not afraid to go get it. He’s dominant at all the right times. He can melt your panties just by looking at you. “Jack” is sexy and sassy. She’s every man’s wet dream. The fiery redhead with a body to die for. When these two get together, the chemistry is electrifying.

It was supposed to be a one night stand which turned into a weekend. Both realized that they had a deeper connection. The rules that they agreed upon were no names and no expectations. Can they abide by the rules or will their feelings take over? This book left me breathless. I can’t wait to read the rest of the series.

Spicy!! This is a great introduction to Issac and Jack. I love that you could tell the feelings Issac was developing for Jack and over just a short amount of time. They seem to have this sort of connection. It seemed like by the end Issac may have been willing to delay his duties to his family to be with Jack a little longer, but Jack, I was wondering so much what her family was all about and why she was under such heavy security. I can’t wait to get into this series!

They met at a bar and holy batman, they have chemistry off the charts.

They hook up for not only one night but two and they have a hot time! Jack’s family starts to look for her because she hasn’t shown up and there will be explaining to do!

Super quick contemporary romance read!

Augustine and Dorian are both married to wonderful women. When Dorian accidentally injured Augustine on assignment his guilt leads him to be in Augustine’s life where immediate attraction happens.

The premise of this story had sooo much potential for me. It just felt a tad rushed with some lacking detail to the emotions to pull you into the story.

This wasn’t my cup of tea but I do recommend it if this is your type of read

Jasmine thought she had it all, a successful business with her best friend, a boyfriend that could be more, and a decent life. That was until she was kissed by a tall, dark stranger in her best friend’s kitchen. The stranger turned out to be her best friend’s finance. Despite her requests, the stranger now known as James, continues to flirt with Jasmine. James and Jasmine continue to grow closer while Jasmine plans James’ wedding to her best friend. Then Jasmine finds out the truth behind their sudden engagement and wedding. Even worse, Jasmine finds that her best friend has betrayed her in more than one way.
As Jasmine’s life is imploding, the only person that seems to support her is the one person she can’t have, James.

This sweet romance has all the feels. It is a realistic storyline with a best friend that might have been more of a frenemy all along and the boyfriend using Jasmine for her connections. It was a delightful, quick read. Sometimes a short, sweet romance is great between all the longer, darker stuff I read!

This book was not exactly what I expected. I found the premise very interesting. I loved Dorian’s job and how accepting his wife was. It is great to see that kind of support from a partner. I also thought that Augustine thought to seek counseling and asked his wife to go with him was important. This view of family is important and should be represented in popular media. I hope to read more from this author soon.

~ A Hawke Empire Story ~

I’m not typically one to read romance novellas. But this definitely has me hooked. Jack and Nolan are two very unique and strong characters. They both have character development that just begs to be read and continued.

The story is about a young lawyer, or soon to be lawyer, who is about to take the bar and return to his family’s empire to set into his role with them. He meets a young woman who’s a complete mystery. Needless to say sparks ignite.

I picked this up and read it in just under 3 hours. Super easy to get through and honestly you just won’t be able to put it down. I’m getting the first book ASAP!

This was a wonderful final conclusion in this series. I cried at the end because it was over. The culmination of everything brought it all full circle. There was the perfect amount of action, hope, and heartache. I loved every minute of it. I can see people potentially being disappointed with the ending, but I think it was the best option for all. Definitely give this whole series a listen!
