Shift Happens: A Paranormal Romantic Comedy (New Orleans Nocturnes Book 2) by Carrie Pulkinen – Review by Chantelle Smith

Shift Happens (New Orleans Nocturnes, #2)Shift Happens by Carrie Pulkinen
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Carrie Pulkinen has done it again! I thought Book one in the New Orleans Nocturnes Licence to Bite was a brilliant book, but Shift Happens, well… I really really enjoyed this one!

While these books can be read as stand-alone but believe me when I say that would be a huge mistake!
This book is brilliant from the very beginning, it has humour, romance, sexiness, werewolves, magic & witches. It has drama, action, passion & mystery! Seriously there are too many good things to say about this book without having to tell you the whole captivating story and giving it all away!

I loved that we were transported into this world of New Orleans, I felt like I was learning along with Sophie about the paranormal world she finds herself in. I loved that Jane was still a major part of Sophie’s life even after what has gone on with her life, but both of them still make sure they are there for each other!

Now Sophie’s chemistry with Trace is beyond a doubt undeniable from the very beginning and I loved watching it grow, even when everything could be put on the line for Trace he still continued to follow his heart and with that, it helped Sophie make probably the biggest decision of her life! These characters were real (even for being supernatural) they had real and raw emotions and knew what they wanted and wasn’t afraid to go after it!

I can’t wait to see how their story continues but after meeting Crimson in this read I also can’t wait to follow her story.

I highly recommend this read and Book #1 you will definitely not regret it!

Holding Out for You by Anna Paige – Review by Katie Matthews

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

 

I have read a few books by this author so I was looking forward to reading this new release form her and it was as I expected, a wonderful story with characters who I loved from the start! I find Ms Paige’s writing such a pleasure to read, the pace and flow of her books is just perfect, I lose myself in her stories easily. I love a brother’s best friend romance- it’s a bit taboo but also usually really romantic and sweet with a bit of passion thrown in! I loved Blair! She was so awesome! Asher was a fab character and I loved what was happening between him and Blair – but I have to say along with the romantic side of this story I absolutely adored the friendship sides to it! Blair and her besties Charli and Blair’s brother Beckett and his friendship with Asher! The connection the friends had with each other was great! I absolutely loved everything about this book! I can’t wait for more from this author in the future!

Music Man (Romance in Rehoboth #1) by K.L. Montgomery – Review by Jennifer Gordon

Music Man (Romance in Rehoboth Book 1)Music Man by K.L. Montgomery
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Music Man is a single Dad rock star romantic comedy and is a fun and enjoyable read. Book one in a new series by K.L. Montgomery, each book in the ‘Romance in Rehoboth’ series is a standalone story set in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware. “You’re never too old to fall in love with a rock star. Or chase your dreams”. Claire has just turned 40 and fallen in love with Jack, a want to be, rock star. Claire’s not sure if it’s his guitar, his beard or the flannel he wears but she finds Jack utterly irresistible. Music has always been Jacks first love but having failed to make it big as a singer and songwriter he turned to teaching music instead. When he starts teaching piano to Claire, he finds himself falling for the stunning read head. Then just as they start a relationship Jack’s big break comes and he has a chance to become a rock star and fulfil his first love.
I enjoyed this romantic comedy, Claire is an independent and strong female lead character and Jack is essentially a nice guy. I like the fact that Montgomery has written a romance novel where the main characters are over 40, rather than the younger norm. The storyline flowed nicely and I was fully immersed in Claire and Jack’s love story and loved the setting of Delaware’s top vacation destination. I look forward to reading other books in this series.

Shift Happens: A Paranormal Romantic Comedy (New Orleans Nocturnes Book 2) by Carrie Pulkinen – Review by Jennifer Gordon

Shift Happens (New Orleans Nocturnes, #2)Shift Happens by Carrie Pulkinen
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Another fun paranormal romantic comedy in Carrie Pulkinen’s ‘New Orleans Nocturnes’ series. It can be read as a standalone story although some of the characters are mentioned in previous books. The blurb states, “If you like funny heroines and smoldering shifters, you’ll love this fast, steamy romantic comedy” and I was not disappointed as that is exactly what I got. Sophie Burroughs is determined to be a witch like her Grandmother was but cannot actually cast a spell. What she didn’t want was to become a werewolf but having been bitten by a very handsome one she has until the next full moon to stop becoming one herself. To make things more complicated the sexy werewolf who bit her is also accusing her of crimes against his pack which she also has until the full moon to prove she’s innocent of the crime. Meanwhile Werewolf Trace Thibodeaux didn’t mean to bite Sophie but she is the prime suspect for putting a curse on his pack. He is determined to stop the curse and the witch who cast the spell, but didn’t factor in the sassy witch who he’s bitten and the steamy chemistry between them, but can he literally get into bed with the enemy. This novel has a very funny romantic storyline which flows nicely and has some fascinating characters and lots of steamy chemistry between the main characters Sophie and Trace. I look forward to book three in the series.

This was just another great journey into the supernatural world of New Orleans. I was warped into the adventure and I just could not put this book down. I really like how the books just really flow from one to the other and continue the story seamlessly.

The electrifying chemistry between Sophie and Trace is just so addicting. I just love how there is an air of forbidden but then as the saying goes truth will out and all things fall into place. I love how the characters really come to life and how I felt as though I was there in the story. I really related to Sophie as we are all searching for a place to belong and fit in. I really cannot wait to read more from this author and series as one of my absolute favourite genres is supernatural romance.

Shift Happens (New Orleans Nocturnes, #2)Shift Happens by Carrie Pulkinen
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I give Shift Happens (New Orleans Nocturnes Book 2) by Carrie Pulkinen, 5 stars.

What I like so much about this series is it’s unpredictability. Sure it’s a paranormal romance with humor and some suspense involved and there has been plenty fof that. But the author throws in things that you don’t see in this genre and makes you stop and think. This is exciting to me. Not to mention how good the book is in and of itself. The characters are well done and you really feel for each of them. You root for them the whole time. You think the story is headed in one direction, but then it makes a quick left and you are stunned, but have to see where it leads.

It is fun, quirky, and sexy all in one. If you like your paranormal romance with fun, sexiness and hot characters, this book is for you. It can be read as a standalone in my opinion, but I recommend book one too since it is so good.

5 out of 5 stars

I loved reading the story Lucifer’s Emblem: A Paranormal Academy Novel (Celestial Academy Book 1) by Sarah Biglow and Molly Zenk. It is a book that is entertaining and hard to put down once I had started reading it. I enjoyed reading about the characters of Zuri and Miryam. Zuri is trying to recover a stolen relic. Zuri is someone who is independent and takes chances. She finds herself at the Celestial Academy and meets Miryam. Miryam is the daughter of the Archangel Michael. She is a girl who wants attention and can be needy. There is bad blood between Fallen and Archangels. Can Zuri and Miryam work together to find out the true motives of the thief and get the relic back? Read this book to find out. This is a story that has action and danger. I enjoyed reading the bantering that goes back and forth between Zuri, Miryam, and the other characters that are introduced in the book. The authors have done a wonderful job in world-building. This is a book that had me wondering what was going to happen next and how it all would end. I highly recommend reading it.

The story Bargaining (Hero High Book 3) by Mina Chara is the next exciting story in a wonderful series. It pulled me in, and I found myself lost in the storyline. I loved reading about the main character of Friday Fitzsimmons. The tale has action, danger, and even a bit of romance. The story is written in such a way that I feel like I am right there with Friday and the other characters in the book. This story has some twists that I did not see coming and I was turning pages wondering what was going to happen next. This is a fast-paced story that you will not want to put down. I enjoyed reading about the many different characters and how they all interact. There are some that I wondered about them and if they had ulterior motives. This is a book that is entertaining and addictive. I would highly recommend reading it.

Southern Promises: The Complete Series (A Contemporary Romance Stand-alone Box Set) by K.G. Fletcher
4 Stars

This is an amazing series filled with love and romance that will pull at your heartstrings. Each book has characters that you will fall in love with. The author has a way of pulling you into her world and playing with your emotions. Each book can be read as a stand-alone but they are so good that I suggest that you read them all.

Georgia Clay: Clay Watkins is a true southern gentleman with a heart of gold that will take your breath away. Katie Parker was his high school crush. After bumping into each other at a reunion, feelings are reignited. Long distance relationships hardly ever work and each have demanding careers. Can they overcome their issues and have a happily ever after?

Georgia on my Mind: The story centres around Katie’s brother Hart. He was a real estate broker who got caught quite literally with his pants down. He meets Gia while she doing a Marilyn Monroe impersonation. Can they overcome the secrets of their past and learn to dance together?

Georgia Pine: Definitely my favourite of the three. Jessica never thought she would be divorced and raising her four daughters on her own. While having a meltdown, a white knight waltzed in to save her in the form of her gardener. Tim is hiding under his mane and beard, he even changed his name. Falling in love with Jessica was not part of his plan. Will she still love him after she finds out about his past?

First off what’s not to love about a box set ? This series is absolutely amazing and is one I’m definitely going to put on my list to reread. I love this Authors style of writing and her characters are very well developed and relatable. In these three stories we get going from friends to lovers, opposites attract, and how fate gives second chances at finding love. Each book can be read as a standalone but once you start reading you won’t want to stop with reading just one. Get ready to be taken on a journey with Katy and Clay, Hartford and Gia, and Jessica and Tim will these couples get there Happy Ending? I highly recommend reading this amazing Box set.

Rise (The Larussio Legacy, #2)Rise by Via Mari
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Rise (The Larussio Legacy Book 2) by Via Mari is another great story in the series and offshoot from the original series. There is plenty to get you lost in the story, with a little mystery and suspense, action and danger and humour. There is a lot of hot and steamy and oh so sexy romance. Via’s writing style makes it easy to read and pulls at you. The characters Gio and Serena from the first book are an ideal pair and you continue to love them. Gio is an alpha and in line to be head of the Italian mafia and Serena must learn to live with trouble with a capital T. I love how all the characters intertwine. The twists and turns you don’t expect, and the suspense add that little bit more of excitement. I was so engrossed in the story that I found myself on the edge of my seat. I can’t wait to see what happens in the next book!

Stage Mom by K.L. Montgomery
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

 

Stage Mom is the sixth book in the ‘Romance in Rehoboth’ series by K.L Montgomery. It was such a great read, and definitely one of my favourites that Ms. Montgomery has written. It has just the right amount of drama and tension to really keep things interesting. This is a superb contemporary romance with a really well written and touching storyline. It’s definitely memorable- one I won’t soon forget.
Larissa is a single mother with a special needs daughter who is participating in the Little Miss Rehoboth pageant. Larissa is determined to ensure that her daughter is treated just like all the other children in the pageant.
Mateo is the new director, his family have been running the pageant for many years, but this is the first time that Mateo has been trusted to oversee the whole thing himself. He has a lot riding on this. With some radical ideas for improving the show, he’s determined to make this the best show ever- but not everyone likes change.
The chemistry between the two starts to sizzle as these two try to hide their attraction. Getting involved will only complicate things even more. Won’t it?
Such a great story!!!
As I have said so many times before, I love all Ms. Montgomery’s stories- she really is a gifted storyteller who is easily able to pull readers into her stories- keeping them invested, connected, and engrossed every step of the way. I love how her stories depicts characters who are entirely realistic, relatable, and endearing.
Another great addition to the series!

Thank you, Ms. Montgomery!

Everything’s going wrong. My friendship with Jake is falling apart, Dr.Dangerous isn’t who I thought he was. People are putting themselves in danger and I don’t know what to do. Every move I make to uncover the truth is defeated by forces I can’t even see.

I joined the gold team, the producers even like me now, but it feels like I’ve abandoned everything that makes a good hero, in order to be a good hero.

Despite it all, Captain Fantastic still believes in me, and I can’t figure out why.

When Lucifer’s Emblem—his one defense against the Archangels who banished him from Heaven—is stolen, his daughter, Zuri tracks the thief to Celestial Academy. As the child of a Fallen, she’d never be allowed entry to the school for the descendants of angels and saints. Instead, she dons a fake identity, leading her right into the path of Miryam bat-Michael.

Miryam may be the daughter of the Archangel Michael, but she’s far from perfect. Craving the love of a father who is barely around, she seeks admiration and affection wherever she can find it. Even if that means throwing in with Zuri, the girl who doesn’t fit in.

A tentative alliance blooms as the girls uncover the thief’s true motives: Lucifer’s emblem can unleash Armageddon and Zuri’s blood breaks the seal. Zuri’s only hope of averting the apocalypse and escaping death is to trust Miryam. But is their growing bond strong enough to overcome eons of bad blood between Fallen and Archangels?

Wedding War by K.L. Montgomery
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

 

Wedding War is the fifth book in the ‘Romance in Rehoboth’ series by K.L Montgomery. You don’t have to have read the other books in this series to be able to enjoy this one. But, I do recommend reading them anyway- because they are really wonderful stories and well worth the read, too!
Jason Friday`s family operates a local business catering to grooms. They are the sworn enemies of Hannah Robinson’s family- who owns the local Bridal shop. The feud has been on-going, but what happens when a wedding one stop shop chain store sets up in town? These two will need to come together to take on the big business, and find a way to work together to save both their family businesses. What happens here makes for a funny and very romantic story! Definitely one of my favourites of the series, so far!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I am quickly starting to love Mina Chara’s series Hero High, but the cliffhanger endings are killing me. Just finished book 2 Anger, and am anxiously awaiting reading book 3. This book is very short, and I read it in 1 night. While I highly recommend this series, I think you should just wait and read them all at once, because the ending is a terrible place to stop the book. It’s right in the peak of the action. This story continues Friday’s life at Hero High, and picks up where book 1 left off. There isn’t a lot I can tell you without possible spoiler alerts… Friday comes in contact with the new Dr. Dangerous again, and things escalate quickly. She is still looking up to her mentor Sense. And the weird love/hate relationship between Friday and Ashley continues. Bring on book 3!

Holding Out for YouHolding Out for You by Anna Paige
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

There is something about a brother’s best-friend romance that I love to read…and this story was great one. Becker and Asher have been friends for years. They graduated, went off to college, and came back home to wait to see where they would go for work. Blair is Becker’s younger sister. As long as Becker and Asher have been friends, Blair and Asher have been the thorn in each other’s sides. Whether they are making fun of each other or picking on each other, they always seem to more enemies than friends. However, one night, everything in Blair’s life changes in an instant…including the way she sees her relationship with Asher.
As the story progresses, Asher and Blair must figure out what they mean to each and what that means for everyone around them. There are so many other relationships going on in this story that (I hope) will someday get a book of their own. This story is so real feeling. The things that Blair and the gang go through break them down while making them stronger. I found myself easily sucked into the story and didn’t come up for air until it was finished. Such a great story!

Shift Happens: A Paranormal Romantic Comedy (New Orleans Nocturnes Book 2) by Carrie Pulkinen – Review by Jana Teppih

Shift Happens (New Orleans Nocturnes, #2)Shift Happens by Carrie Pulkinen
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Shift Happens is the second book in Carrie Pulkinen’s New Orleans Nocturnes series and this time we are hanging out with witches and werewolves! You can read it as a standalone but why would you not start with book one if you love New Orleans and paranormal romantic comedy AND the heroine is Shift Happens heroine’s friend!

Rise (The Larussio Legacy Book 2) by Via Mari – Review by Kayla Interdonato

Rise (The Larussio Legacy, #2)Rise by Via Mari
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Rise is the second book in The Larussio Legacy series by Via Mari. This book was full of romance and suspense. Giovanni Larussio is the don of a powerful family in Italy and he is getting ready to run the largest casino in Vegas. On a trip back to Italy his world is rocked. Serena Moretti’s family had suffered for years at the hands of Gio’s cousins, but he has since made that right because of his relationship with her. Bad things happen to her and her family because of her ties with Gio. He will do anything to protect her but can his ultimate enemies get the best of him? Will Serena’s family ever understand her wanting to be with Gio and not see it as betrayal? This book was full of suspense from the beginning, the author did a magnificent job roping me in from the very beginning. I liked the suspenseful and thrill side of this story, but I also loved the sexy side of Gio and Serena. Their relationship is steamy and hot, I couldn’t get enough of them. I’m officially hooked on this series.

All The Wrong ReasonsAll The Wrong Reasons by Erin Bevan
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

All The Wrong Reasons by Erin Bevan is a Serendipity Falls novel. This is a brilliant novel with entertaining characters and such a well written story line. I could not help but be drawn in to Max and Alex’s lives. I love a friends to lovers story, I love seeing the relationships progress into so much more. This is one example where are an author has done it so well. I was captivated by the story and these characters were just so engaging.
This is a new author to me but I loved how she moved the story along. The book has a great flow which takes you along with it. I found myself getting utterly lost in this story. This was a brilliant book and I am looking forward to exploring more of this authors work.

A Moore Affair (Moore Family Saga Book 4) by Michele Sims – Review by Jennifer Gordon

A Moore Affair (Moore Family Saga #4)A Moore Affair by Michele Sims
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The author had me gripped from page one with this novel, which is book four in Sims’s ‘Moore Family Saga’ series. I read this as a standalone story and thoroughly enjoyed it but I would personally recommend reading this series in order as the characters have all been introduced in previous books and you would appreciate the story better. Having said that I adored the fascinating characters especially the two main characters Bella Wahlberg and her fiancé and soon to be husband, performer extraordinaire and music mogul, Miles “Ari” Moore. I loved the relationship the two had and how they have to overcome the many obstacles throughout this novel and their steamy chemistry sizzled off the page. This was a romance with added drama and a background of spectacular scenery, from Miles and Bella’s wedding in Scotland, to their honeymoon in Paris and then Italy. I look forward to reading the previous books in the series and any future ones.
