Son of Asmodeus by Barb Jones – Review by Donya Pedigo

Son of AsmodeusSon of Asmodeus by Barb Jones
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is an interesting, fast-paced paranormal read that includes angels, demons, and a lot in between. I really enjoyed the creative world building and unique spin the author took in this book.
Can an unknown demon hunter who is feared by both Angels and Demons be a protector? Sully is a lone demon hunter whose life takes a big turn when he meets Mick and agrees to help her find her friend. I really enjoyed their chemistry and how the characters played off each other. Will both Sully and Mick find their paths and be able to stay on them to complete their destiny or will all be lost? I think this is a nice start to a new series.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book is like a habanero pepper: short and full of spice. This was the first book I’ve read by this author, and as a novella, I liked it. It’s a quick read- I was getting my car fixed this morning and I had it done by the time they finished working on my tire. I’ll be looking forward to the actual first book in the series, and I can’t wait to see what’s in store for Jack and Hawke! The author does a fantastic job at pulling the reader in instantaneously, I do recommend!!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I’m giving this book 3.5 stars. I really did enjoy this book, but the characters and toxic relationships have me rating it lower. The “best friend” was one of the worst friendships I’ve ever read. I was wanting to throttle both her and the main character Jasmine the whole time I was reading this book. And the “boyfriend”? He was just as bad as the best friend. The only relationship that wasn’t toxic was the one between Jasmine and her assistant, Carmen. Other than the very blatant toxicity that had me raging at the characters, I did enjoy this book and it was entertaining for what it was.

What a great book!! I initially was a little nervous reading during the prologue if this was going to be a book I woukd enjoy. But I am so glad I kept going, I was pulled in almost immediately in the forst chapter. Barb did a great job developing her characters and the dynamics between the demons and angels made for an exciting read.

Amaleigha Loves a Good Story by Janice Pratt – Review by Dahnielle Hibbert

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I really like the Amaleigha stories. While I do not have little children I think these books would be enjoyed by children under the age of 9. In this story Amaleigha decides it is important that the school library doesn’t have enough books for non English speaking children and sets up a plan to get more books. Amaleigha is always helping others or making them feel better about themselves. Such a great way to show children how important it is to care for others.

My Pearl Heart
By: J.N. Sheats

Let me start out by saying that I did not love the first little bit of the book. But, I do not DNF books and therefore persisted. And let me tell you how glad I did. I am giving it 5 stars despite the rough start for me. That is how good the rest of the book is. I truly loved all the twists and turns in this book and there were some that completely blindsided me. I LOVED all the characters, even the ones that the reader is meant to despise. I thought that they were all well written and made complete sense for the story line to make sense. I do hope that there is going to be more about Jasmine, James and Cadence. This book left on the perfect note for a sequel. I want to see what becomes of these characters, that is how much I enjoyed this story. I definitely recommend it!

This is the first book in this series. Sully, the MMC, is the son of Asmodeus, a demon prince. He was raised by foster parents until he was sent to a monestary for his protection. He discovers his purpose and, along his way, meets Mick who’s friend is missing. He agrees to help the lovely bartender and their story takes you away. This was a great first book and I can’t wait for the second!

Nite Fire: Exit Strategy Audiobook by C.L. Schneider – Review by Callie Luna

Nite Fire: Exit Strategy is an incredible story! This is the first book that I have read/ listened to by C. L. Schneider. From the first word, I was propelled into an incredible action scene and an apocalypse to boot. The action and suspense are present throughout the book. I did not want to stop listening for a minute!

The audiobook quality and the pacing are amazing. Dahlia’s voice is what I expected and her personality shines through. Some of the other male characters’ voices can be a little annoying but overall I thought the performance was great. During some of the intense scenes, the narrator slows down to really provide the needed impact.

Even though there were previous books that I have not read I was able to understand the story and fell in love the with characters. Dahlia is a strong female character lead. The authors’ descriptions of the places and the creatures gave me clear visuals of the world. I love how Dahlias’ shifting is described. I cannot wait to read/ listen to the rest of the series!

Married Blind (King of Screen Book 2) by Morgana Bevan – Review by Dr. Anya Schultz

Married Blind (Kings of Screen, #2)Married Blind by Morgana Bevan
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Married Blind: A Marriage of Convenience was a great romance book. Finn is one of the “Kings of Screen”, in Hollywood, with a bad boy reputation. He had a relationship that destroyed his image and continued to make poor decisions. His agent thought it would be best to marry a stranger on the show “Married Blind” to improve his image, but he would not be marrying another celebrity. Abi is a woman living in New York taking care of her sister who is in remission from cancer. They need help paying off their medical bills and this show is willing to pay her to marry a celebrity. Both go into the marriage thinking it is a stunt to improve both of their lives, but when both are highly attracted to each other that task becomes difficult. After their honeymoon, they both decide to give it a real try. However, will Abi’s responsibilities lead her away from love, and/or will Finn’s history get in the way of trusting a relationship can work?
I just adored the characters in this book, and they had great banter. The spicy scenes were pretty good too. Finn just screamed Hollywood hotty to me! He was portrayed as a playboy, but someone who didn’t want to be. He was honest, but brutal at times. However, when he let his guard down, you could not help but fall in love with him. He loves hard and honestly, but can’t let his past go. Abi is adorable. From the beginning, she is sassy and strong but also caring. However, like Finn, she also can overthink, which leads to miscommunication. I would say that young people should read more books where miscommunication is the main issue – things can be solved so easily if someone just speaks lol!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Falling Home was the first book I’ve read by Libby Kay. Fortunately for me, it is part of the Buckeye Falls series, I truly look forward to reading more from this author. I loved the story of Max and Ginny and the fact that while the story is centered on whether they’ll find their way back to love, it is also a story about family. Having recently lost my mother, I have a great respect for the father/daughter love portrayed in this book. I found the plot to be cozy and light and truly a nice read. It was a great story to kick off my new year!

My Pearl Heart by J.N. Sheats – Review by Jennifer Gordon

My Pearl HeartMy Pearl Heart by J.N. Sheats
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is an enjoyable and engaging stand alone romance, which kept me happily turning the pages. Jasmine Hayes runs her company, ‘Divine Events’ and organises events for the social elite. Meanwhile, James is a drunk who has a string of bad business decisions behind him, however, he also comes from the rich Conners family, who are the closest thing to royalty in New England. Two years ago he was told to sort his life out, and now James is about to marry Cadence, and then will be able to get the money he needs to start a new venture. The only problem is that when James meets Jasmine, his fiancé’s best friend and their wedding planner, he recognises her as the woman who he has not stopped thinking about since meeting her.

Jasmine, can’t believe the man that her best friend is marrying is the one who kissed her silly and swept her off her feet. What Jasmine does not know is that James and Cadence have a secret contract, which states they will have a mutually agreeable and quick divorce. I loved the main characters, as they are all likeable and relatable in their own ways. Their relationships come across as very realistic, and they all brought something different to the story. The chemistry between James and Jasmine really came through in the narrative, but I also loved the dynamics between all three main characters. This was a lighthearted and heartwarming romance which had a HEA.

This is definitely an interesting and original read. I was captivated and pulled in this story full of angels, demons, danger, romance, self discovery, and array of characters. As I read on, I was intrigued by Sully’s journey to self discovery. When he met Mick so much more revealed about himself and about her. Sully has been a demon hunter for as long as he can remember and now that he’s finding out more about himself he has to change some of his ways of thinking. I can’t wait to read what comes next. I highly recommend this book.

As a fan of the show supernatural this book really appealed too me. I thought the concept was interesting and quickly became engrossed in what was happening. I thought the characters were all great. Each had their part to play and it felt like they all contributed to the overall story development.

Holy Moly this is one fast paced hot read. With well written characters that are both hiding something.<br />Gwyn introduces us to the second generation of the Hawke family in this prequel and what an introduction it is. I cannot wait to read more.<br />They meet unexpectedly in a bar, thinking one night will be enough, can two nights be enough? Being nameless they know nothing about each other especially how to contact each other after their rendezvous. Can a 2 night stand be enough…Their time together is full on and the author builds a world that is very easy to fall into.<br />The Characters are completely enthralling and the story line is intense. I really need to know what happens next, I would love a HEA but I feel a rocky road would be in store for either of our characters.<br />

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book is a great feel-good way to bring magic into your everyday life. It’s also a guide to simply find your way to bring yourself back to taking care of yourself in this world that has a tendency to suck the life right out of you. It isn’t a super hocus pocus flashy book about casting spells and cursing people. This is a book that is more about finding the magic that is all around us in the world and that anyone can harness. As a pagan myself I found it to be a beautiful reminder to slow down and really embrace the beautiful and magical world we live in.

This was a really enjoyable romance. The author does an amazing job with the characters. The characters are both fun and witty and they have backstories which really make them come alive. This is a story about meeting the one for you but things and circumstances being in the way.

James Conner is know as a drunk. His life has spiralled out of control but now he’s determined to get it back on track and a marriage of convenience seems like a the right idea. Or so he thought.
What he didn’t anticipate was meeting the wedding planner and his future brides best friend and sharing a kiss with her that blows his mind.

Jasmine Hayes is a successful business woman. She takes no prisoners and is a straight talker. She runs her business with her best friend so when she gets a call about an emergency she rushes to her aid not realising she would come face to face and lips to lips with the man of her dreams. However there is one problem. He is promised to her best friend and she wants Jasmine to plan the wedding.

So this is where we find our couple. Both feeling the spark between them but unable to do anything about it. Will there ever be a time for them to be together? Will James be able to pull his life back on track and if he can will Jasmine be a part of it?
This story is full of laughed and tears which makes it an emotional read that you can’t put down.

Well what a way to start of my reading for 2023! I absolutely ADORE this author and the first book I ever read by her Savage Collison is still by far one of the best books I have ever read and over the years I have been fortunate to read so many of her books so when I saw this one I didn’t even bother reading the blurb I just grabbed it and as usual it was phenomenal! It is a prequel to the Hawke family series and sets the scene between the two characters Jack and Isaac just perfectly and I absolutely cannot wait to read more about them and start this new series. I have no doubt it is going to AMAZING!!

I have to say this book isn’t my usual genre to read but I thought I would give it a go as I’m familiar with the author and have enjoyed her previous work and I have to say this is probably one of my favourite stories from her. The connection between the characters was just amazing, so genuine and real. I could honestly feel the characters emotions pouring off the pages. I could feel the genuine angst they were feeling about what was happening and the way they thought about other involved in the situation as well.
It was beautifully written and explored and explained a different type of relationship really well. A definite must read!

This was a really great read. I loved the characters and the idea behind the storyline. I think it was a really relatable story and this made me love it even more. I loved the characters especially Abi, she was such a lovely person and with everything she was going through I really felt for her at times. I think I pretty much fell in love with Finn straight away! He was definitely worthy of that book boyfriend title! There was a great amount of chemistry between the two that didn’t feel forced. I loved the humour in the story and this just made it even more entertaining to read.
Although this is the second book in the series it can be read as a standalone and I cannot recommend it enough! A great 5 star read!!

A one night stand between an attorney and a mystery woman. This book could not get any sexier. You know so little about the two characters, yet you feel like you’ve known them for years. This novel took me less than 3 hours to read. I’m still not sure if that means that it was a short book or if I was too focused on reading to pay attention to anything else. If you are looking for a sexy, mysterious romance, then this is the book for you. I cannot wait to get my hands on the other work by this author, ESPECIALLY the next book to this series.

Will he ever find her again or will he have to move on without her?
