Hero High: Figure In The Flames (HERO HIGH Collections Book 1) by Mina Chara

This is the first book I’ve read like this. Chara knows how to write a damn good book. Hero High is an amazing book with many twists and turns. It’s a highly recommended book!

Friday, aka Fitz, isn’t anyone special. Or so she thinks. She goes to Hero High with her friend, but it turns out she doesn’t know him all that well. She finds it hard to fit in. The quote I chose for Friday is: “Because I could be a better person. I will be a better person.”

Ashley, The Captain’s mentee, isn’t who everyone thinks he is. He’s the new Dr. Dangerous, but is he bad? All he wants is to get revenge for his father, but Fitz keeps getting in the way. The quote I chose for Ashley is: “Eat your soup, Fitz.”

I do highly recommend this for anyone and everyone!

Accepted (Rhodes Family #2) by Lisa Wood

Accepted is rated for 18+. Lisa knows what to do to keep anyone’s attention. This was a phenomenal read and I hope there’s more. If you don’t like MM then this isn’t for you.

Ava, Gabe’s sister, is in love with the two of her best friends. One night leads to seven years of misery, hurt, and loss. When Ava comes home from work one night to see that Hunter had left something. The quote I chose for Ava: “Hunter, that night we shared was seven weeks ago. When you went for breakfast, you were mugged. You were left to die in an alley, shot and beaten, with no way to identify you. The reason I’m thirty pounds lighter is because I spiraled down after you left, stopped working and holed up in my house. I didn’t answer my phone, I didn’t answer my door, I hardly ate. Gabe got me out of the house the day he found you by kicking in my door, throwing me naked in a cold shower and yelling at me.”

Thomas is one of Ava’s best friends and lovers. Things hadn’t been good for several years due to one night that changed everything. He is yearning for his friends and lovers. The quote I chose for Thomas is: “At the beginning I tried my best to give you the benefit of the doubt but at the three-week mark, you were still incommunicado, Ava had written me off and I was as low as I’ve ever been. I quit the firm without notice and moved to a firm Kevin recommended for me. I can’t tell you how much guilt we both feel about you laying in a hospital bed while we assumed the worst of you. I think I can speak for both of us telling you that we don’t expect your forgiveness. We let you down.”

Hunter is the one who messed everything up by walking out the next morning. Things were tough for him at home and his head wasn’t straight. He didn’t understand what was happening, but he fixed it. Until a mugging goes bad that is. The quote I chose for Hunter is: “That right there is why there’s no forgiveness to ask for. All the three of us need to do is prioritize and love each other. I can’t ask for more than that. I love you both , forever and always.”

The Perfect Outcast by Melissa O. Hansen

This is the first book I’ve read by the author and I so hope it won’t be my last. The Perfect Outcast is amazing and I really hope there’s more. Hansen knows what to do to capture a reader’s attention.

Pira is a beautiful place while Carthem isn’t. Pira has no flaws, but one. Alina. She looks nothing like the other women in Pira. Now, Carthem isn’t exactly like Pira would like you to believe.

The Crocodile Makes No Sound (The Lord Hani Mysteries #2) by N.L. Holmes

This is the second book in The Lord Hani Mystery Series, but can be read as a standalone. Holmes has a way of bringing any of her characters to life. I enjoy all her books.

Hani is at it again, but this time it involves several royals. Things get dangerous once again when his family is involved. His brother-in-law goes missing and no one knows where he went.

Hani has his family move to the farm house as they don’t feel safe at home. Things get tough when Hani is summoned by the Queen. The quote I chose for Hani is: “It’s going to be hard for anyone to follow me through the crowds of merrymakers today. Once I’m in the country, I’ll be able to see whoever’s around as easily as they can see me.”

If you like crime books then this is one for you. I highly recommend it.

True Bastard (A Dark Sparrow Novel #4) by India Kells

Kells knows how to get attention with everything she writes. So far I’ve read all The Dark Sparrow Novels and I can’t wait for more. These characters will never be forgotten.

Liam, a cop and the fourth brother to Lazarus, is upset that they didn’t bring down their father. Gabrielle had to leave as an emergency came up, but she brought a gift. Someone to cut Finch’s money. The quote I chose for Liam is: “I never played you, in any way, Catriona. I’ve never liked deception. When I kissed you, it was because I couldn’t help myself. If Deva hadn’t barged in, things would’ve gone further than a kiss. I only stopped because I think you’re making a mistake.”

Catriona, very close to becoming a nun, is brought to Chicago to help a family out. With the eldest brother being in a coma she does what she can. When she uncovers something she runs, but she saves someone else. The quote I chose for Catriona is: “We’re on this earth to make mistakes. Do you think that’s the first time I’ve ever thought about being with a man, sleeping with one? When you choose a path, you have to relinquish several more. No one goes into a religious life without considering that, otherwise, the weight of the commitment would break you in two. I haven’t slept with anyone because each time I was convinced it was the wrong decision, until you.”

I highly recommend this book for anyone who loves a good read.

The quote I chose for Deva is: “I agree. And I couldn’t stop thinking about what Finch and my father had said. All those speeches about patience, about preparing for war. What if he was speaking about a war from within? What if Finch had prepared things way in advance, and placed his pawns in strategic places.”

I think they’ll be married by fall.”

This is a great crime and mystery book. Highly recommended.

I understand how afraid you all are. And you should be. But scurrying through the portals really won’t solve anything. And trust me, the darkness will discover a way to follow us.”

Deception by Victoria Saccenti

This is the first book I’ve read by the author, but it won’t be my last. Warning now if you don’t like BDSM then this won’t be a book for you.

Hunter is a girl who turns everyone away. She’s the type who doesn’t want to let a guy in. Known as a heartbreaker and homewrecker she likes life that way. Until Joe Reid enters her life. The quote I choose for Hunter is: “I thought I was losing my mind. See, he calls to me, and more bewildering is the sensation of healing I get from him.”

Joe, a former Marine, comes home for good. Losing a buddy of his started something that changes his life. Hunter wasn’t supposed to change his life but she did. For the better it seems. The quote I choose for Joe is: “Damn, girl. You flirt, you’ll find me and a hell of a lot more.”

This book was an amazing page turner and I will be keeping my eye out for more. Hunter and Joe are so realistic I thought it was a movie. I do highly recommend this for anyone who likes to think outside the box.
