A Natural Passion by Tammy Mannersly

Another fantastic read by Mannersly. A Natural Passion is a short read, but great. The characters are wonderful and you’ll fall in love with them.

Dylan doesn’t want to break his moral code and take Kyra into his arms. When poachers start to take the turtle eggs the Center ups the patrols. They catch who is behind it. The quote I chose for Dylan is: “Baby steps are better than nothing, Jake. You stick to your word and I’ll stick to mine.”

Kyra has her eyes set on Jake, but he isn’t who she thought he was. When things come to light about him she turns to Dylan. Telling him her feelings isn’t what she wants to do. The quote I chose for Kyra is: “I don’t know what he was talking about. But, I can tell you that I’m keen to find out.”

But I don’t exactly get to choose my schedule most days, so I’m stuck with what I’ve got. Those are the breaks for being a Division-One athlete and trying to graduate on time. It’s all about time management. Don’t get me wrong. I’m not complaining about my circumstances. I’m just sayin’ that in the off season, my schedule’s a bit different.”

There was no challenge she couldn’t master. Anything she set her mind to, she could do, but she could also be a real ball breaker. She always followed the rules to the letter. Though she’d always denied it, I think a part of her secretly liked my frequent attempts to get us into trouble.”

Caught By Him by Tammy Mannersly

This is another great read by Mannersly. She knows how to keep her readers coming back. This is a short read, but so worth the time.

Willa is staying at her grandfather’s house to house sit. When she forgets the key to the gate she meets the neighbor. What she doesn’t realize is that he’s famous. The quote I chose for Willa is: “What’s wrong with you, Hayden? I’m fed up with you, with this. You’ve been pulling this crap for nearly two years now, claiming ownership, trying to control my life. Well, guess what? If you want to remain in my life, in any kind of capacity, then you have to cut this shit out.”

Brody is disturbed when he sees a hooded figure going towards his neighbor’s house. The only thing he didn’t know was that the hooded figure was his neighbor’s granddaughter. He falls fast and hard for her. The quote I chose for Brody is: “Look I’m not sure what Hayden told you, but Willa’s nothing like that. She’s told me about her commitment issues in the past, but it has less to do with her personality and more to do with not being true to herself and not being involved with the right person.”

Journeys Through TimeSpace (Journeys Through #2) by James Talisman

Mr. Talisman has done it again. The Journeys Through Series is now one of my favorite series. I absolutely love how he works his characters in.

Forbidden Mate (The Shadow Chronicles #2) by CR Robertson

Another fantastic read by Robertson. Levi and Tasha’s story continues with Forbidden Mate. Things get interesting and you really have to read it to see what I mean.

Tasha is still mated to Levi. She’s still being hunted by the Hellspawn Master. And her Coven leader wants her as well. Will she be able to escape the troubles that haunt her? The quote I chose for Tasha is: “What if it isn’t anything to do with the vampire brother but who he mated with? The vampire side gives immortality, but if Mum is right, and there is witch blood combined with it, then they could want access to that.”

Levi still has the desire to protect Tasha at all costs. He will put his own life in danger before risking her life. When she is taken he about loses himself to his wolf. Tasha being the only one able to bring him back. The quote I chose for Levi is: “I needed to become an alpha fast in the military and the only way to do that during my initial conscription term was to fight.

Ride For Me (North Shore Crew #1) by Vi Summers

This is the first book I’ve read by the author. Summers sure knows how to captivate the reader’s attention. I was hooked from the beginning.

Lil is the twin of Mickey(Josh). When she meets Gage she isn’t sure what to make of him. He kisses her one second, but pushes her away the next second. As time passes on things get better between them. The quote I chose for Lil is: “F*** you, Jono, you sicko. They’ll find me soon, then you’ll be sorry you set your hands on me.”

Gage moved up from his hometown to get away from the past. When he meets Lil and falls hard for her he doesn’t know what to do. The quote I chose for Gage is: “Just over three years ago, I was in a relationship that…ended…very abruptly. It wasn’t expected, and some days I feel like I haven’t gotten over it at all. But what you need to know is that I haven’t been in a relationship of any sort since then. Even the mere thought used to make me physically sick. I never wanted to have a relationship again. Ever again. I just, I don’t know what it is about you, but you…F***. For whatever reason, I’m drawn to you no matter how much I don’t want to be. You’re like the dawn of a new day after a thousand years spent in darkness; the very place I’ve become accustomed to living in. You would never be ‘just another notch on my belt’, as you put it, and it’s hard to ignore what naturally seems to be between us. Plus, it’s baffling the hell out of me. What’s even more confusing is that I’m not even sure I want to ignore it. I just don’t f***ing know.”

Vanessa is dead and now living in the Underworld. She has made a couple of friends. She has also brought color back to it. Grey has kept it grey for way too long. The quote I chose for Vanessa is: “I’m here because I’m dead and got lucky not to be voted to go to the middle ground, or worse, the hot-pit haven. I am not that important, Gorgonita. Go ask Charles A**hole Radcliffe in there, and he’ll tell you just how insignificant I am.”

Grey doesn’t usually make deals, but Vanessa wormed her way in. Not only to his world, but in his heart. He isn’t sure what to make of her. The quote I chose for Grey is: “Where do you suggest she hid my brother’s soul? I searched every square inch of the Underworld for him myself.”

No one could ever beat me up about what happened to Salinda as much as I beat myself up. You went to prison for what you did and lost your whole family. My family loved me, supported and protected me. You were just a scared little boy. I can’t even imagine what it must have been like for you.”

The quote I chose for Ripper is: “I’ve done my time, Erin. It will never be enough. I will always have to live with what I’ve done. Ten years in prison was only the beginning of the punishment. I get it. I don’t deserve you. I don’t deserve anything. I’m sorry, darlin’. You’ve got to believe me; I’m so sorry.”

Athena isn’t one to open up to people. When she meets Tru he gets under her skin. She wants to push him away, but her friends convince her to take a chance. The quote I chose for Athena is: “No. Trevor wasn’t that kind of guy. He was pretty damn sweet, actually, at least until I called it quits. Threatened to kill himself unless I took him back, if you can believe it. I thought that was something that happened in the movies. Well I told him it wasn’t gonna happen and he called my bluff. Killed himself, which somehow turned me into a pariah and that caused great embarrassment for my parents.”

Tru has had plenty of women over the time, but Athena is different. He wants to know everything about her. He is afraid that she’s just like every other rich girl. The quote I chose for Tru is: “Then I’d say this is a great intro into picnics because we have booze and barbecue. Not to mention a living breathing goddess.”

Then she finds herself attracted to Carter. The quote I chose for Vanessa is: “Wait? How does it work? Like, are we talking we can communicate telepathically, or you’re going to know I secretly hated Georgia for six months when she dated my crush?”

Carter hasn’t found his soulmate yet and he’s not sure if he wants to. He’s seen what his siblings have gone through with theirs and he isn’t sure he can handle all that. When Ethan confirms it Carter gets scared. The quote I chose for Carter is: “I care about you more than I have any other woman. It’s absurd, considering how little time we’ve known each other. I may not be able to explain what’s brought us together, and I can admit it used to terrify me, but I don’t want to lose you. If you decide all of this is too much, I’ll respect your decision. But know this now, I won’t walk away until I know you are safe.”

The quote I chose for Ellie is: “And you know nothing about me, Sam. And yet, you stopped that final jump because of me. We’re strangers who have lost their way yet found each other. I see honor in you, a protector of your brothers. You may have reached the end of your rope that night, but I believe your strength is still greater than your pain. I don’t care that I don’t know everything about you. I think that for the moment, staying alive is the only solution we have.”

Sam is feeling lost and ready to give up on life. He decides to call his brother only to get a wrong number. When he does hear the person’s voice it changes everything for him.

Sinful Daughter: A mafia Romance by Emily Bowie

This is the first book I’ve read by Bowie. This book had me hanging on the edge of my seat the entire time. Theo and Aria had me falling in love.

Aria is the oldest of the girls. Not wanting to be in the family business she gets caught up in it. When Theo enters her life it’s turned upside down. The quote I chose for Aria is: “I thought it would be exciting. I envisioned saving my family, showing I can be as good at this life as them. I was petrified that I put my family’s lives in danger. I was scared I would never see you, to tell you how big of an a**hole you are—”

Theo is a cop and isn’t a dirty one. His only reason for being a good guy is to find who killed his dad. Once he finds out who it is, things change. He thought he could use Aria, but didn’t think he’d fall in love. The quote I chose for Theo is: “I know I let you down by us losing the case with Marco. But I have evidence, hard proof, that Nicoli Rossi killed my father. This evidence will put him away. This is the break we’ve been looking for.”

This is the first book I’ve read by Burton. I loved every minute of reading this. This short, funny, page-turning story will have you hanging on the edge of your seat.

Elle believes that her next door neighbor is trying to sabotage her company. Moving a big name brand cupcake store next to hers is bad news. Then she comes up with a plan that shouldnt have her falling for him. The quote I chose for Elle is: “Everyone has an angle, Zane. I’m curious to know why you want to get to know me. I’m the enemy after all.”

Zane is trying to get to know Elle. Only she thinks he’s out for her business. He’s wanting to merge their businesses for the both of them. The quote I chose for Zane is: “Annie and I were together for many years, and I thought she broke my heart. I thought I could never get over her. But it turns out she’s nothing but a ghost in my head. Seeing her the other night made me see the light.”

Highly recommended for Clean Romance lovers.

The Dream Catchers (Prestoria) by J. U. Menon – Review by Heather Bass

The Dream Catchers: PRESTORIA Series Book 1The Dream Catchers: PRESTORIA Series Book 1 by J.U. Menon
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the fist book I have from this author and I’m now a fan. I love a good fantasy book but this author exceeded all my expectations. This is the first book of the Prestoria series and it was the perfect way to start a series. I could not stop reading this book until the very end and I can’t see what happens next to these amazing characters.

Radhika Varma has an amazing imagination. She always thinks of different creatures. Radhika is excited when she finds out that she will be in a challenge in a land called Prestoria. This is the land of nightmares and she is a little nervous. Radhika is only armed with her imagination by one of the Dream Catchers. She has no idea what has getting into when she meets some of these creatures like the Vyalas. Radhika has only until dawn to complete her challenge or she will end up not coming out. Will Radhika got out with a victory or will she become a new member of Prestoria?

Lyon Tamer: Nerdy Romcom Adventure by Jen Luerssen

This is the first book I’ve read by Luerssen and it won’t be my last. This was a funny read and a page turner. I had a hard time putting it down.

Simone works with freeing tigers and lions. She runs into someone who then finds out that he’s the vet. Not one to be in a relationship she plays hard to get. The quote I chose for Simone is: “I am Simone Lyon and I’m head of PR and marketing for Freedom Roar. Mainly I deal with reporters like yourself, and look for opportunities to promote our rescue to get more support. When here at camp, I jump in and help with all manner of things. Dr. Locke can tell you about a recent exciting rescue we made.”

Sheldon is the new vet for Freedom Roar. When he runs into a fiery red head he thought he’d get her into his bed. He then finds that she also works at Freedom Roar. The quote I chose for Sheldon is: “Well, it’s mixed but generally good. Unfortunately, many of these lions and tigers have been overbred, malnourished, and abused. My job has been to make sure they are as comfortable as possible especially for the epic plane ride to South Africa.”

Highly recommended for Romantic Comedy lovers.

Hawke (Men of Syn Book 1) by Anise Storm

This is the first book I’ve read by Storm. Hawke had me hooked from the beginning. Hawke is the first book in the Men of Syn Series.

Hawke is opening a club in Denver. He has a party planning company plan his grand opening. When he realizes who she is, things change drastically. The quote I chose for Hawke is: “I don’t want you, Charlotte. I never did, but it doesn’t change anything. You’re ingrained so deep under my skin that no matter what I do to you, I can’t get you out from beneath it.”

Charlotte goes to meet her new client and thinks he looks familiar. When she realizes who he is she has to decide if she wants to work with him or not. The quote I chose for Charlotte is: “Have you ever met someone who could push all of your buttons? If so, that would be Haeke. He’s so damn arrogant. I just want to knock the smirk right off his face. The problem is he has the uncanny ability to neutralize me with a single kiss.”

Highly recommended for Dark Romance lovers.

Master Descallia : Dark Vampire Romance (Masters of the Consulate Book 1) by Sylvia Black

This is the first book I’ve read by Black. Although it won’t be my last. This is the first book in the Masters of Consulate Series. It follows Luce and Salvatore through their story.

Lucianna works on the police force and has powers. Dealing with missing women is what she is working on. Then something happens to her and she is forced to resign. The quote I chose for Lucianna is: “I have to go. They were both dueling with too many powers, Salvatore. They needed time to recharge before they went after Embry, and we don’t know that it’s not a trap. Nothing has been as it seems. I have to go. She needs me.”

Salvatore isn’t looking for a mate because he lost his mate a long time ago. When Lucianna comes into his life she turns it upside down. Dealing with missing women and dealing with Luce turns out to be a trip. The quote I chose for Salvatore is: “Look at me! This is not on you but the piece of human trash who hates us because we’re different. Hates us because we have rules and don’t condone the mistreatment and slavery of women, even humans. He has been at odds with us since we put controls on the syndicate business. You were caught in the middle because Morgan told you and he knew you were coming to work for me. He wanted you taken out before you had a chance to learn any more, or work with me.”

Highly recommended forVampire Paranormal lovers.

The Heart of Baker’s Bay by Danielle Jacks

This isn’t the first book I’ve read by Jacks. Each book seems to get better. The more I read the more I fall in love with the author. I highly recommend you read any of her books.

Jody has gotten fired from another job. Now her sister is mad at her because she can’t keep a job. Her grandmother is now hurt and her sister can’t make it down to help. Going down herself might be what’s best for everyone. The quote I chose for Jody is: “Don’t call me that, you’re not my mother. I was on a trial. The probation period has come to an end which means I’m free to go. I didn’t do anything.”

Adam has always kept his head down when it comes to new people in town. But when Mrs. Evans needs help, he’s there to help out. He keeps calling Hannah hoping to get her to come down, but he wasn’t expecting Jody to be the one to show up. The quote I chose for Adam is: “I need to get a move on if I want to finish my round before teatime. I’ll check in with you tomorrow morning unless you need anything else.”

Highly recommended for Contemporary Romance lovers.
