Second Chance (The Flowers in December Trilogy, book 3) by Jane Suen – Review by Angela Hayes

Second Chance (Flowers in December #3)Second Chance by Jane Suen
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

 

Second Chance is the third and final instalment in the Flowers in December trilogy by Jane Suen. I really enjoyed the first two books, so I was really happy to find that the third book had arrived. It is everything I could have hoped for as the conclusion to Connor’s story. A lot has happened since we met him back in book one.
This sweet story is all about second chances- with a very realistic and believable storyline. Ms. Suen definitely saved the best till last, as this is my favourite of the three books, for sure.
Even though you could read this story as a standalone, I really recommend reading the first two books before beginning on this one- as all the backstory and other relevant information is contained in those books.
As with the other two books, Ms. Suen had me hooked quite quickly and kept me engaged the whole way through. It is a short story, which makes for a quick and easy read. For such a short story, it definitely leaves an impression.
Looking forward to what ever Ms. Suen decides to do next!

Thank you, Ms. Suen!

Set it Free (Fallen Eagles MC Book 3)Set it Free by T. Birmingham
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

While is a sad thought provoking story there were many times I just wanted to quit.
I was really looking forward to reading this because the last two were so good. This one seems too internally focused for me. Too much thinking in the head about why she does what she does or why he is the way he is. I really didn’t need half a book on it. Addiction is terrible. I got where she was early on and his thought process early on. I just wanted the book to move forward. This part of the story seemed to overtake the rest of the story.

I do love her family and those MC boys. There are happier times with her sisters and the people from the MC. I loved the second part of the story much better. That one of full of laughter, kidnappings and lots of shenanigans. Casper does have a great personality. I get he uses that as a cover sometimes but the most amazing things come out of his mouth. He really can make me laugh.

The story rounds out nicely and it shows how everything comes back around. Overall it was just an ok book. Sorry. I just wasn’t riveted to the pages like the last couple. The story though is a good one.

Second Chance: The Conclusion of the Flowers in December Trilogy by Jane Suen. I honestly didn’t want this to end. The author has truly created a masterpiece of words. Each books has captured me completely and this one was no different. The author knows how to put emotions into words that can capture the hearts of readers. I truly felt for these characters and rooted for them. Each character brings something unique to the storyline. It’s a well thought out story and it’s paced nicely. It may be a smaller size book but it doesn’t hold back any. Five stars all the way.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

3 ½ Stars

Master’s Rise: Book One is the first book in the Phoenix Series by L. Ann Marie. This is the first book I have read from L. Ann Marie, so I really wasn’t sure of what to expect from her. I always enjoy exploring new-to-me authors, so I grabbed a copy and jumped right in. The story took me a little while to ‘get into’. I felt like I was missing something, and the flow was a little slow to begin with. But once I found my groove and adjusted to the style- the story flowed much better.
This is a descriptive and detailed MC story- with drama, action, violence, chemistry, and more. The brotherhood and comradery between the characters was great, which added to the whole ‘feel’ of the story. There were also some lighter, humorous moments which helped to balance the overall storyline.
L. Ann Marie has quite a long list of books to her name- and I am surprised that I had not found her before now. I will be adding a few of her other books to my TBR to explore in the near future- as well as keeping my eye out for the next book in the series to see where it takes us.

Thank you, L. Ann Marie.

Master's Rise: Book One (Phoenix Series)Master’s Rise: Book One by L. Ann Marie
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Master’s Rise is the first book in L. Ann Marie’s Phoenix MC Series. This is my first read by this writer and as I absolutely love MC stories then I decided why the heck not AND I was not disappointed, not a bit!
It is supposedly a new series but I had a feeling that I was missing something and when doing some looking up I could see that I should go and read her other MC series to get the full impact of this one (though kudos to the writer in regard of trying to give us as much of background as possible but one does not want to become a drag…)
Master’s rise gives us the story of Cort who has left his old MC with some of his brothers following him so they will start up a new MC in a town that needs some fixing up, and of Seren who has always been treated slightly different because of how she looks … throw these two together with Seren’s hilarious and crazy friends and Cort’s MC brothers in a town that offers them loads of challenges and you get a story that doesn’t leave you indifferent! I am looking forward to the next one in the series and I see many good stories in our future!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Second Chance is the conclusion to the Flowers in December series. After Coming Home, I thought we wouldn’t get the chance to see Connor and Mary Ann find their way back to one another. It was an emotional and heartbreaking but sweet story that I have been hoping for since I first read this series. Jane Suen’s words prove that no matter what life throws at you, love will always find a way to win. I highly recommended this series to any who believes in Second Chances.

Second Chance: The Conclusion of the Flowers in December Trilogy by Jane Suen was a good read. Connor and Mary Ann have had their share of heartache and confusion. Now that Connor has decided to quit his job and leave the big city will he and Mary Ann be able to pick up where they left off or is to late for them to have a happy ending. I enjoyed reading about this couple and the obstacles they were faced with. What will happen when they are face to face again after so many months of silence. Mary Ann is one of my favorite characters. She’s just the average down to earth, hard working girl just looking for love. You won’t be disappointed reading this trilogy

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is a new to me author and with an MC book i just had to dive right in. This took a bit to get used to the writing style and flow but after a bit it clicked and I was flipping through the pages.
Ive not really read any books where we get to see the building and start of a club so it was interesting to get a front row seat to all that goes into it.
I can’t say I’ve laughed so much in an MC book before so that was a welcome change and I fell for these characters fast. I did feel like I was missing something or a big chunk of time and that bothered me as its a start of a series but no real big backstory type.
I am looking forward to more in this series as I am now invested!

Second Chance by Jane Suen is the conclusion of the Flowers in December trilogy. This is wonderful conclusion to the story we have followed through the previous two books.
It has definitely been up and down for Tom and Mary Ann, to the point where I wasn’t sure if they would end up together or if I even wanted them to. However the author has done such a great job of tying everything up and creating an ending the completely fits the story and the characters.
This has been a great journey to go on with them and, although I am sad to see it end, I like how the author achieved it. This has been a very good trilogy and one that I have thoroughly enjoyed.

This is the first book in the Phoenix Series and it was a great book.

Cort is president of a MC thats been set up made of new and old members of people from different groups.

They all live by Brotherhood which meand they protect their own and their town. This become even more important when Cort meets Seren.

Seren runs the local hardware store and pizza place but after run ins with the locals Cort steps in to help her and sets up brother protection for her. There is an immediate attraction between them but Cort is cautious as he has been hurt before.

However Seren is different, she knows about the Brotherhood and understands their ways. However she isnt a woman to just sit back and do as she is told which means Cort has a challenge on his hands.

Everyone loves a second chance story. Those stories that take you back to a time that seemed like nothing could go wrong. Book 3 was the perfect completion to this trilogy. Connor and Mary Ann are perfect for each other. I love sweet stories that make you feel mushy on the inside. I really like this author. This was the perfect read for me during this holiday season. It gave me a little hope that no matter the situation something amazing could come out if it. I’m not an animal person so I could do without the cat. The author gas a very pleasant writing style. It’s not bunched together giving you too much but just enough to keep your interest. Anyone that can make you smile just from the thought if them has my stamp of approval. I will be holding out for my second chance. You shouldn’t wallow and most definitely not settle.

This is about the build of a club, brotherhood and trust. I liked learning about what it takes to get a club off the ground and running. Most times I read about an established club..so that was different.

Reading this was a struggle for me. There is stilted conversation and many times I had to reread a section over to try to make sense of it That ended up frustrating me and I would just move on.

Set it Free (Fallen Eagles MC Book 3)Set it Free by T. Birmingham
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Set it Free is the long-awaited third book in T.Birmingham’s Fallen Eagles MC series! At least I have been waiting for it FOR EVER! I fell in love with the Markham sisters when I read the first book of the series and the ones who have read the first book you know very well how much Spring deserved her own book! You should NOT read any of the books in the series as standalones! If you do attempt, I promise you will give up and go back to the beginning to do it the right way!
Set it Free is the story of the oldest Markham sisters – Spring and she has finally reached the crossroads and she needs surface and find herself again or … and it is the story of Callum “Casper” Gordon who has lived his life without any commitment and not needing a family … he is there to clean up other’s messes and he is always to leave first …
It is beautifully crafted story that stays with you for a while … it makes you cry and it makes you rage and it makes you fall in love, again, with life and living and yourself! I cannot wait to see what the writer has in store for Autumn and the rest of the MC!

Open your book to Romance, MC, and learning to trust.

New Mexico is the stage, and L. Ann Marie is the author. Her description of her characters were spot on. I could see them as clear as day. Her writing of this book makes it a fast-paced page turner. I love stories about MotorCycle Clubs. Phoenix is another trustworthy group of men and women. Cort and Serena are the main characters. Such a great couple. But finding a band of trust worthy brothers, makes this story worth the read. L. Ann Marie is a new author for me. She did not disappoint! I am looking forward to book 2.

Master's Rise: Book One (Phoenix Series)Master’s Rise: Book One by L. Ann Marie
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Masters’ Rise is the first book in the Phoenix series by L Ann Marie. It was the first time that I had read any of this author’s work and I have to admit that it took me a little bit to get into this book but once I did, I really did enjoy it. I have read other MC books but found this one very different for the others that I have read. This book was very descriptive and gave much more insight into the day to day running of an MC. I also found this book to be more violent than others that I have previously read.
I really loved the main characters of Cort and Seren. The attraction and chemistry between them was instant and grew and grew as the story progressed. I loved how Seren took absolutely no nonsense from Cort, even though he was the president of a MC. For a man who was used to having everyone at his beck and call, it was a breath of fresh air to have someone say no to him and answer him back.
I really enjoyed the plot and storyline although at the beginning I was confused as to who were the good guys and who were the bad guys as there are so many secondary characters in the book. It did take me a while to understand who was who. I do hope we get to see a lot more from some of the other characters as the series progresses.

4 Stars

This is my first book by this author and in doing research I see that there are many books I need to go back and read. I love MC books, they are among my favorites.

I did have trouble at first wondering if I was missing a lot of this story, which is why I went looking through her books. She did a good job of updating things but I still felt like I was missing something. Once I got towards the middle I found myself totally invested in all of these people. I loved Cort and I truly felt for him after reading and understanding his story, and his brothers totally won my heart with trying so hard to make things right for him. I loved Seren in this story as well, she was totally awesome and their story was written different then Im used to and I really liked it even if I can’t explain it LOL

I definitely did not like the town, it was a complete mess but what Cort and his brothers were trying to do to fix it was awesome and I must also mention this is one of the first books I’ve ever read that I actually felt present at the start of an MC and that was cool! I can’t wait to move forward with this series and see who we get to know more about. I loved so many of the secondary characters that I hope this series covers them all.

Took me a bit to fall into the writing style of this author…I had to go back and read sometimes two or three times to figure out the change of scenes or what was happening, but once I got a grip on it I was fine so hopefully the next book I won’t have any issues at all.

Really enjoyed it and can not wait for more.

Master’s Rise was a good story. I’m not personally a huge fan of motorcycle stories, it’s not my favorite type of genre, but I really did enjoy this story! It was very well written, with a clear story line and plot. I had a little trouble keeping all the characters together though. Language and some steamy scenes makes this an 18+ book in my opinion. I’m definitely interested in reading more books from L. Ann Marie!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Set it Free (Fallen Eagles MC Book 3) by T. Birmingham is a romantic suspense and I loved it. It is the third book in the series, and I suggest you start at the beginning and work up to this one because there is a lot of reference of things that happened in the other two books. Each book is about one of four sisters. Pages turned quickly because I needed to know what the outcome was. It is an emotional read and yes there were tears ok a lot of tears but there were also moments of laughter.

Springs past continues to haunt her and to dull her pain in alcohol is the only way she can cope. Unfortunately, she has to hit rock bottom and lose the one thing trying to hold her together.

Callum ‘Casper’ Gordon can’t walk away but doesn’t want to deal with old enemies. He needs to overcome his past to move on.

Will they both get what they want? To find out grab a copy you will love it as well.

5 ++++++ STARS

Many many thank yous to this author for giving us this book. I loved the first 2 but was a bit sad with then end of the 2nd. I had no idea this one was coming and I was so happy when I saw it. This had to be one of the best book 3’s of a trilogy yet, I’m thinking because I wanted it so much!

I was a bit concerned with the going back in time here and there through memories but found that it gave me a better understanding of who Mary Ann was. I loved the small town and this whole story felt so real, along with all the other feels you get from reading this last book in what is a wonderful series. I can’t wait to read it again back to back now that I have all three. 🙂

Jane Suen is an absolute must read, one click author for me, she continues to surprise me and you dont ever get predictable with her writing.

Thank you again Miss Suen for the rest of the story and I’ll be waiting patiently for what you come up with next!

Loved it!

Hennessey on the Rocks by Monica DeSimone – Review by Makaela Patterson

Hennessey on the Rocks will take you on and emotional ride. Who ever said you can’t fall in love twice? Who really knows how they will choose to fight for their love? Although this book was emotionally gripping, It was also very suspenseful. It seemed as Charlie could never really catch a break. You never knew what problems were going to pop up and shock you! This was definitely a drama filled book with airy parts of light humor. I think a lot of people will enjoy this book. I very much so could see this turned into a movie or series has all the perfect ingredients . No pun intended. Check out the end of the book! The name of the books really describes the book perfectly smooth but rocking! I really couldn’t stop reading this book, I connected with the fact that she was a mother and wanted nothing but the best for her kids and to be happy herself. This was a great read!

Master’s Rise Book One (Phoenix Series) by L. Ann Marie is a new author is to me and I enjoyed this story. I have to say it took me a little bit to settle into the way the author writes but once it started to flow for me it really became a good read. The characters just make you fall in love with them and they made me laugh out loud so many times. There is plenty of action and drama, fun and comradery and a brotherhood second to none. I read the story in one sitting and had to stay up till 2am just because I had to know how it ended.

Seren has always been treated differently because of the way she looks but she is so much more that her prettiness and blond hair. She and her friends are hilarious and crazy to boot. They are strong and sassy and don’t apologise for who they are.

Cort is starting again having left his old MC, but he quickly realises that some of his brothers follow him and they start their own MC from the ground up. There is plenty of trouble in their new town to keep them busy and the club grows quickly. These men crack me up they do what has to be done and have each other’s backs at all times but they are just funny with their antics. Whilst all this is going on he cannot keep away from the blonde beauty.

I will have to go back and read through the impressive list of books that L. Ann Marie has written and I cannot wait for the next book in this series.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Renegade by Raven White is the first book in The Mercenaries Series.

When I was a young hormonal teenager I wished I had an older brother because then he would have friends and at least one of them was bound to be hot and Eliza was lucky enough to have that older brother with the hot friend who also is former military and extremely alpha.

Renegade knows what he has to do and that’s protect Eliza but the pull they have towards one another cannot be denied.

This story has a little bit of everything and I couldn’t put it down. Looking forward to the next book in this series.

4out of 5 stars

Forbidden love written by Lisa Jones Gentry is the first book that I have read by this author and this book was unique and different to what I read. The characters are well written, but I was a little disappointed in them.
This is a true story of Father William C. Grau, a Black Catholic Priest and Sister Sophie Legocki, a White Polish American nun, who in the segregated fifties, defied the church and society with their passionate secret love affair that lasted for nearly a decade and gave birth to a son, Joe Steele.
The Archdiocese sealed is adoption records because they didn’t want him or anyone else to find out that his parents where a priest and nun. Joe is a Harvard College and Harvard Business School graduate and successful Global Development Consultant and Executive Coach.
He finally reunites with his birth mother, Sophie, and finally hears of the passionate love that she and his birth father shared, often risking their lives to be together. Joe also learned for the first time how after his adoption, Sophie and Father Grau continued their love affair when she moved into the Rectory to live with him as his housekeeper until his death in 1964. Joe and Sophie grow closer as he too shares his life as the beloved youngest son in his nurturing and loving adopted Steele family in Cincinnati.
This was a good book and I recommend it….

Forbidden Love:Written by Lisa Jones Gentry, As Told by Joe Steele is a story of forbidden love. It is a sweet romance story, but at the same time it is a story that makes your heart grow just a little bigger knowing the whole story. Joe Steele had a story to tell and Lisa Jones Gentry listened and wrote his story. There was a couple of strikes against Sophie and Billy. They both belong to the Catholic religion one as a nun and one as a priest. Not only is Billy a priest, but he is also a African-American in the 1950’s. There are some rough roads that Billy and Sophie had to deal with their romance story. Out of their story, there was a baby born to the nun Sophie. This is a real-life story which cause my emotions go on a roller coaster ride. I did read this in one sitting and had a box a Kleenex by for my tears. I hope you find this story as beautiful as I did. Happy Reading.

My rating: 3 of 5 stars

In this story, Eliza wins a singing contest/reality show to become the lead singer of a band. One night, after a show, she is attacked and left for dead. Her brother is a police officer and former military and he brings in a member of his former team to act as her body guard once she comes out of her coma. Renegade has to take the assignment. When a brother calls, you answer. He and Eliza have an instant attraction that could cause problems on the case. But he takes his job very seriously and vows to keep her safe while her brother works on finding her attacker.

This story was an interesting read, but for me, I wanted more details. There were things that were really skipped over and left up to you to make assumptions on how things occurred, but I think it was just because it was such a short story. It’s a good beginning to the series and I think it will only get better as the series goes on. The characters had great potential and intriguing personalities. I look forward to learning more about them. You’ve got to love a group of hot alpha military men! And Eliza is a strong, independent woman who knows what she wants and is willing to fight for it.

I loved this short story. I was able to read it in one sitting. I am excited to see what comes next in this series. I loved all the characters and how well they were developed for such a short read. Eliza and Renegade were amazing. I loved following them and also the wit and humor they shared in their conversations. The storyline was easy to follow and organized. I loved that several supporting characters also had their own sections which played an important role in the development of the story. It had an excellent plot and climax as well. I was definitely hooked immediately with this book. I highly recommend it!
