Tenacious: Dark Billionaire Mafia Romance (Billionaire Bodyguards #6) by Via Mari

Not my first read by Mari. Tenacious is a great read. The Billionaire Bodyguards Series is amazing. Each book gets better and better. You can read as a standalone, but you’ll see characters from other books.

Allie thinks that it’s safe enough to drop the bodyguards. The thing is that she doesn’t know who is paying for it. She finds herself falling for Nick, but isn’t sure what to do. The quote I chose for Allie is: “Sounds like a six -car pileup on the other side of the city and the roads are getting ice-covered. They sent in the jaws of life and helicopter. They’ll be bringing the victims to Central Hospital as soon as they can get them out of the wreckage, so I need to be there when they get there. The department is already short-staffed and running with temp nurses and Friday night traffic on a good weather day can take forever.”

Nick is finding it hard to stay away from Allie. It’s been a while since he’s felt anything like for anyone. The quote I chose for Nick is: “It wasn’t easy finding a parking spot tonight. Sheldon and Lexie aren’t too far away. Should we take a seat with the others while we wait to find out what the big announcement is all about?”

Highly recommended for contemporary Romance lovers.

Marcus doesn’t want to leave Lucy when he goes to meet the coven. He thinks that once everything is settled then he can go back to being normal. Then Lucifer comes along and now the one he loves is in danger. The quote I chose for Marcus is: “The council is taking a hard position with my mother.

Gemma is wanting out of the marriage. Then he shows up dead and Russell is the one who told her. She has feelings for Russell, but isn’t exactly sure what his feelings are for her. The quote I chose for Gemma is: “No. Idiot. I’m saying our marriage is not the traditional love story. We aren’t in love, we don’t have sex, and we will never have children. In fact, before our lives blew up, we were on the path to lining things up for a divorce. Enough time had passed that it wouldn’t harm either family.”

Soren didn’t think he would ever find his mate. Then he gets the shock of his life when she shows up at the bar he’s at. She was told to look for him, meaning something is wrong. The quote I chose for Soren is: “That’s my mate, and she needs me. I’m going to help her. Now.”

I’ve been giving you antibiotics, both in the crushed pills and in an ointment I’ve been putting on your wounds. You seem to like the broth more than water, so I’m glad I started giving you that a few days ago. I’m glad you like it.”

Goddess of EverythingGoddess of Everything by Paul DeBlassie III

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

HIGHLY RECOMMEND!! Phenomenal book!

Goddess of Everything by Paul DeBlassie III is a spine chilling horror story that is on the same level of a Stephen King novel. I love a good horror book and this one did not disappoint!! There aren’t many horror novels that make me want to read with the light on and leaves me creeped out by dark shadows…but this one certainly fits that bill. Gabriel, who is the main character, has a mother who is different….in so many ways from most mothers. Mother Juana has some “powers” that she tends to use on others as well as on her son and is possessive and wanting to control all aspects of his life, as well as his family. She is also holds a role in the church and has expectations of her son being faithful to her – at all cost. As things start happening around him, Gabriel starts looking for answers. DeBlassie’s ability to intertwine the supernatural into the story line is intriguing and a book you will not want to put down. This is a must read – don’t just put it on your wish-list to read later, buy and read it now!!

That’s when DAG approached me.”

Max aka Matteo is Antonio’s eldest son who everyone thinks is dead. What they don’t know is he’s very much alive and looking for revenge. Liliana was part of that plan until he fell in love with her.

My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Cady, a young up and coming lawyer finds herself front and centre involved in a serious crime scene. The tables are quickly turned, and Cady is now answering hiring herself a lawyer. While I think this book has potential, the character development is lacking and I found the characters unrelatable. I can see the great crime story the author is trying to portray, however the book itself felt unfinished and jumped around too much. Lacking a lot of details that would normally allow me to relate to characters.

But when you hung around, I noticed.”

Craig didn’t think agreeing to show up at Coach Diaz’s funeral would lead to seeing Rachel again. He isn’t sure if they are starting something new or if they are ending it.

She’s then kidnapped for answers, but ends up falling for her captor. The quote I chose for Danielle is: “I want to believe you. What I find hard to come to terms with is that someone betrayed my trust. That’s the only way word could have gotten out that fast, which explains how you were there to buy Condora when no one else in the art industry with enough money had a clue it would be up for auction. It also came out from an old man’s estate—a man thought to be eccentric and more than a little cuckoo, according to my friend Cara.”

Vulture is known for killing just to get his way. He never misses a mark and won’t start now. Being sent to capture the statue and the curator has him questioning things. The quote I chose for Vulture is: “I see this will take time. Your life as you know it is over, little bird, and the sooner you come to terms with it, the easier all this will be. We should start first with the rules, no?”

I’m new to the series and didn’t realize it was the second novel, but you aren’t lost about anything if you pick it up! I love Emma’s personality and her determination to get justice for anyone who deserves it! The boarding house scenes and the interactions between the family to help Emma’s dream business work are my favorite part! The historical atmosphere is a little loose in the interpretation for me but was not a deterring factor when reading. I would recommend this book for you or your younger reader who is getting into reading!

The townsfolk expect to be able to go to their local doctor. They’ve done it for the last however many years. They don’t want to drive one and half hours to Waratah River. Not to mention the people in the towns surrounding us who looked forward to Colin’s visit. They’re not going to be happy to find out they no longer have a doctor who will visit them. That’s what’s going to happen if Ryan doesn’t stay and we can’t get a new doctor. Someone isn’t going to want to buy half a practice. They’d want to buy me out and they probably wouldn’t want to keep me on as well, so I’d be out of a job too. So, no, I don’t think Colin knew what he was doing.”

Ryan doesn’t want to move back to Bunya Junction, but does after his mentor dies. Meeting with Sindy and finding out that she now owns part of The Practice. Falling in love was never on his agenda, but it happens. The quote I chose for Ryan is: “Sindy, I don’t know what’s going on here. Something is bothering you. I can see it in the tenseness of your shoulders. I’m sorry that you had a boring day today. But I don’t know what else you want me to say or explain.”

Highly recommended for Contemporary Romance lovers.

A Natural Passion by Tammy Mannersly – Review by Melissa Saxton

This is a stand alone romance book. This was my first experience reading a book by Mannersly and I was not disappointed. this book explores attraction romance and also covers conservation efforts of turtles. The characters were introduced well and this led to you becoming entranced in this story as you just had to know what becomes of the main character and where her heart leads her as she reflects on what she wants from a romantic partner. this book can be read in one sitting and you will not be disappointed.

Forever Valentine: A Sequel to Professor Valentine (Kirk University #6) by Diana Vale

Another fantastic read by Vale. Forever Valentine is book 6 of the Kirk University Series. The characters are wonderful. It’s a page-turner for sure.

Cassie is in her second year of college. Her boyfriend happens to be older than her and she is worried. Her parents aren’t very accepting of him. The quote I chose for Cassie is: “Then why do you act like I can’t? Why do you act like this divorce is only something that affects you? It affects both of us.”

Diego used to be Cassie’s mentor, but he left the college before starting anything. His divorce isn’t final and it’s weighing on him. He thinks the age-gap between them will cause drama in the future. The quote I chose for Diego is: “No! I know exactly what you’re trying to do! You’re going to paint me up as some arsehole who left his vulnerable wife for a younger woman. I can see right through your bs, Linda.”

Highly recommended for Contemporary Romance lovers.

Gone Country (Gone in Love) by Katrina Marie

This is the first book by Marie. Gone Country is about a city girl who moves to a small country town. She meets and falls in love with a mechanic.

Stella moves from Austin to Asheville for her job. She leaves behind her two cousins and best friends. On her first night there she meets her true love. The one who will ease her stress away at the end of the night. The quote I chose for Stella is: “And put some damn clothes on.”

Johnny is headed home after his friend cancels on him. He finds a beautiful woman stranded on the side of the road. He does suggest casual dating, but it doesn’t last long. The quote I chose for Johnny is: “Yep. She inherited it from her father when he passed away. When he owned it, it was just another bar where the local drunks hung out. Then Angie took over and gutted the inside, updating everything in here so she could open back up. She’s actually the one who renamed it. Kind of like a caterpillar becoming a butterfly. She said she wanted to turn it from something ugly to a beautiful place where guys would be proud to take their dates. I have to say, there have been fewer bar fights since she became the owner.”

Highly recommended for Romantic Comedy lovers.
