This emotional story betrays the struggles of an addict on the road to recovery. This is done while being in a strange country while dealing with the loss of her grandmother.
The story is well developed and very unique. I was surprised that the story didn’t go the way that I thought it would. This is an easy to read story that really holds the reader’s attention.

Devil’s Due: Satan’s Devils MC (Colorado Chapter #3) by Manda Mellett – Review by Rhonda Pulk

Devils Due: Satans Devils MC (Colorado Chapter) #3
By Manda Mellett
5 out of 5 stars

This third book in the Colorado Chapter by Manda Mellett is just as exciting as the first! My interest is captured on the first few pages and I found that I couldn’t put it down. There are so many events that happen in this story that you won’t want to stop reading until you reach the end. The emotions in this book are so raw for the male character that I couldn’t help but to tear up. So, grab a cozy blanket, a cup of coffee, and dive in!

Friend : A College Romance (What Happens on Campus Book 3)
By M.L. Sparrow
5 Out of 5 Stars

Friend: A College Romance is the third book in What Happens on Campus series written by Ms. Sparrow. When Terri is traumatized, it is up to Jet to try to pick up the pieces and help her to feel like her old self. Can Jet help her get her confidence back?
The writing is well done and the characters are unique. Ms. Sparrow’s a wonderful storyteller. I did find that some of the pages were a little wordy, leading away from the actual story. I enjoyed the story just the same and would highly recommend reading this book, as well as the previous ones in the series!

This story caught me at the first page. There is a chemistry that causes sparks between Will and Rusty that let me see their relationship like a vision. I am not a huge western setting reader, get enough of that on old tv, but Ms. Scott used her incredible talent to give this one FIRE! This book took me away from the reality of my life today and I had a terrible time trying to make myself put it down! Her writing style is brilliant and easy to read. I highly suggest grabbing a copy today, you will not regret it!

I am not usually an avid reader of historical fiction, but this book kept me on the edge of my seat. My heart broke for Tobias and the life he was forced to live. This story describes the harsh reality that is faced by more children than we may realize.

5 out of 5

This is the final book in the series that tells us more of Chase and Kris’s story. After having her strength and her heart broken, years later Chase is back and there are many unanswered questions.
This book does not disappoint after waiting for so long to hear this tale. The really sad thing is that about halfway through reading I became saddened that it was the end. This is a series that I just couldn’t put down. The drama and suspense kept me on the edge of my seat and always wanting more. The writing style is amazing and Nicole Banks has truly grown as a storyteller, maturing from book 1 until this conclusion.
I highly recommend that you get this book and the others in the series. They don’t disappoint.

The Flood

5 out of 5 Stars

Five stars does not do justice to this book! I was on the edge of my seat from the very first page! Miss O’Flynn shows great detail and emotion as she spun a tale of fear and survival. The characters strive to survive while figuring out why they are together in the first place. The mixture of camaraderie and mistrust left me second guessing who to trust. Page after page, the mystery builds.
I highly recommend this book. Anyone who enjoys a mystery with a creepy feel should grab a copy of this book. Meghan O’Flynn is a masterful storyteller.

This is a unique twist on historical story-telling and is a superb telling of actual fact. I absolutely love this book! I had ever heard of the Orphan Trains and was lost in this emotional tale. The ways that Miss Burton entwined fact with a little fictional was magical. This is a cleanly written story that I would be comfortable being read by younger readers as the language isn’t foul. This book is great for readers who have to be grabbed by a story right off. This one is a page-turner from page one! I cannot wait to read the next one!

Nicole Banks has once again entranced me into the lives of Jasmine and Angel as they struggle not to fall apart as they stumble through hell.

This book took me on a ride from one end of the emotional roller coaster to the other while keeping me on the edge of my seat.
I highly recommend this book! There is some sexual content so this read is absolutely for mature audiences only. Grab your copy today and join me and other readers on a wonderful Nicole Banks journey.

This is an amazing, heart-tugging story that really draws the reader into the character’s lives. Between her past and his broken heart, the reader is left turning pages as fast as they can to get more of the story. Miss Barrett has created a world of small town life with vivid, delightful people who make the reader want to visit Cinnamon Bay. The struggles that are faced by Brian and his family, as well as Tess, are realistic and heartbreaking.
I fell in love with the characters in this book and am left wanting to know more and more about the characters and the worlds that Miss Barrett has and will create in the future. This is a wonderful read and I highly recommend it to anyone who likes a love story with a twist and a little mystery too! Get yours today!

Once again C.A. King does NOT disappoint! I couldn’t put it down, especially near the end.
In this story, the world is a dangerous place. This is especially true if you are born different or with abilities that normal humans do not trust or understand.
When Tails meets Brodie, their adventure is not all what they first thought it to be. Alliances are made; trust is shattered. Everything that Tails has been working for has been a lie. After explaining the situation to Brodie and convincing him that her quest is impossible without him, the two embark on a journey that could lead them to death, freedom, or maybe even love.
I highly recommend this book to anyone who likes an easy to follow, impossible to put down book! Grab yours today! I am anxious to read more by this amazing author!

This story is even harder to put down then the previous two. I was pulled into the shifters adventure from the moment they out their mission plan into motion. After making the heartbreaking decision to leave her precious Dougie behind, Lorelei joins her friends in their most dangerous quest yet, trying to save the future of their kind.
Again, Ms. Biglow and Ms. Zenk have used description that makes the reader see the story unfold. The emotions felt by Lorelei, Aiden, Xander, and the rest of the shifters are intense and are real enough to jump off of the page. Each page brings excitement and leaves the reader waiting impatiently to see what happens next.
Help yourself to the conclusion of this exciting series by reading Eternity today! I highly recommend it!

Finding Ruth
By Cynthia Hamilton
4 out of 5 stars

Cynthia Hamilton is a vibrant and descriptive writer. This story is fast paced and entertaining. Personally I was confused by the book blurb which explained it was a journey by a daughter to reveal her mother’s past. I would not have known this was the case by just reading the book. I would have liked to have seen the epilogue as the prologue and then lead into the story of Ruth’s life.
Miss Hamilton tells the story of her mother’s adventure to find herself the perfect life and the series of attempted and failed relationships along the way. Cynthia relays the relationships that her mother had with her and her siblings as well as the changes to it through the years.
Aside from my initial confusion, I found this to be a wonderful account of Cynthia’s journey to know her mother.

These two authors are incredibly talented and creative in their storytelling. The colorful descriptions of the characters and their unique and individual design draw the reader into their world. From a stubborn, dying phoenix to a brilliant warrior siren, the characters in this book lead us into an adventure of struggle and survival in a world that wants to ruin their existence.
Aidan and Lorelei gather and become part of an alliance with an odd group of rebel shifters and form a plan to escape from their world, to sanctuary where they can be free to live as they please.
The story flows from one incident to another smoothly and draw the reader into the situation. The ending is brutal and definitely leaves the reader screaming for more. I need to know what happens next. Get your copy today and do yourself a favor, grab the next one too! You will not want to be left hanging!

Love Me, Dreamy
By Laura Burton.
5 of 5 Stars!

Although this is not my usual genre, I loved it! The story of Amelia and Toby is both mysterious and enchanting. It took awhile to really make some of the pieces of the story make sense. I remained slightly confused until about two-thirds of the way through, I still couldn’t put it down!
Ms. Burton’s vivid storytelling helped to hook me into the story and later to help clear up my confusion by tying the story together in the end. Amelia’s inner turmoil of what happens to her and her struggle with the difference in their ages are only a small portion of he twists that pulled me as a reader into the story.
This YA Romance is an interesting tale full of twists and turns, beginning with the appearance of the mysterious men in black suits. I strongly recommend grabbing your copy today and experience it for yourself!
