Love Shots (Bluestone Series Book 4) by Isobel Reed

Love Shots is the fourth book in the Bluestone Series and is a Friends to Lover’s/ Contemporary Romance that once you start reading its hard to stop until you’ve finished. I’ve read other books by this author and this one may be my favorite yet. Its got everything I love in a good small town Romance, a ex navy seal and a feisty woman who wants what she thinks belongs to her. Teddy bought her grandfathers bar, she finds herself going back to Bluestone to find it had a new owner. The chemistry between them is hot and steamy. There is definitely an attraction between them. Throw in an ex into the mix and things get interesting. I highly recommend reading this book to find out what happens next. I don’t want to give anything away. I definitely can’t wait to read more from this Author.

Cruel King by K.M. Scott – Review by Devon Pulliam

Cruel KingCruel King by K.M. Scott
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Grab some tissues because you are going to need them with this book. There is some talk about grief so a little trigger warning for you.

It’s been a long time since I have fully fallen in love with a story and cried my way through it. This one had me feeling all kinds of emotions.

Ava and the King brothers have grown up together since she lives on their Estate. Her father works for their father. The brothers and her experience losing their moms and growing into adulthood together. The oldest Matthias has been anything but nice to Ava all these years. Theo and her are best friends and he always jokes she’s going to be Mrs. Theo King one day.

The dynamic between Ava and the oldest King brother changes when they are stuck together during a snowstorm several years ago. Fast forward 5 years and they discover that his dislike towards her is all because he was told by both fathers to steer clear. Even though he really didn’t want to.

Now Ava and the brothers are all back at the estate because the elder Mr. King is dying. When Matthias spills the secret he and Ava have shared all these years to Theo. The real test is can Theo and Ava repair their friendship? Will things change between Matthias and Ava to go back to those 2 snowy nights they had together? Will grief pull them apart?

I could see this book playing out as a movie the whole time I was reading it. It did not disappoint and as the first book I’ve read from this author I am now HOOKED!

Mesmerised (Hybrid Lovers Book 2) by Toya Richardson – Review by Mandy Ott

Mesmerised (Hybrid Lovers #2)Mesmerised by Toya Richardson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is a first read for me by Toya Richardson and I was hooked from the beginning! There is suspense, romance, plenty of steam, plus heartache, and supernatural elements. Told from both Antoine and Donna’s perspective, this dramatic story kept me on my toes throughout the book. Toya Richardson uses such vivid details in her world building that I couldn’t help but find myself transported to the ocean-view home of Antoine or feel the exhilaration Donna felt while experiencing her new world. The characters are all original, realistic (even if many of them are supernatural beings), and rather likeable. This is the second book in the Hybrid Lovers Series but I was able to read this as a standalone and did not feel as if I missed anything by not reading the first book. Finishing this book, however, makes me want to read the first! Amazing supernatural romance by Toya Richardson!

The Guardsman (The Olympic Peninsula Series Book 2) by Cat Treadgold – Review by Rebeca Elliott Figueiras

The Guardsman (The Olympic Peninsula series Book 2)The Guardsman by Cat Treadgold
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the second book in the Olympic Peninsula series. I would recommend reading the first book prior to this one to get a deeper background on the characters and their connections to each other.

Liam is a character I took an interest in in the first book, as despite not actually meeting him properly he was featured heavily. It was thought that he may have been dead by most, but his sister firmly believed him to be alive. Getting to know him in this book was interesting, pieces together what I thought I knew to what is revealed started filling the gaps in knowledge, answering questions I’d had since the first chapters of the previous book. Liam has certainly been through and lot but remains strong despite this and his mistrust in people, he remains caring.
I loved Teresa in the first book, she was so sweet and welcoming so I’m glad to see her get a shot at true happiness in this book, she truly deserves it. They both do. Their story is a sweet one, slowly their opposites attract.

The descriptive language once again paints vivid imagery of both the scenery and characters, creating a world you could almost step right into.

This was another enjoyable book in the series, and I look forward to reading the next one in November.

Vampires of Atlantis by Courtney Davis – Review by Santana Hicks

Vampires of AtlantisVampires of Atlantis by Courtney Davis
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Ian is a vampire Prince from Atlantis. Protector of humans. When Atlantis sank, it had a prison filled with all kinds of monsters. When one escapes, Ian has to go to the surface to hunt it down. It had been years since Ian had been to the surface and struggled with how women dressed and acted in this time.

While on the trail of the monster named Norgis, Ian comes across a scent of a woman, named Katherine, that compels him to her instantly. He ends up following her trail instead. Soon he finds out that whatever Norgis is after, this woman seems to be involved somehow. Finding Katherine near death, Ian decides to take her to safety and heal her. Norgis is not known for his intelligence so Ian thinks there is someone else pulling Norgis’ strings.

A few days later, Katherine awakens and has no idea where she is or who this handsome man is in the room with her. When the memories of the attack flood back in her mind, she realizes that this man saved her. She tells Ian what she remembers and what the monster was after. Instantly, everything changes. The descendent stone is a very powerful artifact and now someone has it. Ian needs to find it before it is used all while protecting Katherine who he has now considered his mate.

At first, I thought the relationship between the two characters was going to be stockholm vibes but it’s not. Katherine is a strong, independent woman who isn’t afraid to voice her thoughts and feelings. Ian is out of his element with this female. Although he is swoonworthy, she holds her own and demands to be treated as an equal. I loved that about her.

I have read a couple other books by this author and they have written a masterpiece once again. The synopsis is quite unique and excitable. I have a lot of questions about some of the background things that were left unfinished but I expect they will be touched in the next book in the series (which I will be reading as soon as it comes out!).

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Cruel King by K.M Scott is a wonderful second chance romance. Ava has been best friends with Theo King for her whole life. Living on the family estate as her dad is employed by the Kings she has been around the family for as along as she can remember, when she unexpectedly finds a connection with the eldest King brother over a snowed in weekend she thinks things are finally changing. That is until she is ripped away from all she knows. When she returns 5 years later everything has changed, most notably her relationship with her best friend but more so with his eldest brother, who is not as happy to see her return. I really enjoyed this story, it was enraged at times as the main characters were misled by those around them but in a good way. I felt that some parts felt a bit rushed but overall found this to be a very enjoyable read.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Rogue Wolf is the third book in the Protector Wolf series. It picks up where Marked Wolf left off with the destruction left behind by the vampire attack. The shadow clan must rally together to defeat the vampire threat and get the blood opal back. Tamaska wants to become a wolf and part of the pack, but questions arise on if this is even possible. The ending of this book is worth the read and finally, it left on less of a cliffhanger than the rest of the series. I will be patiently waiting for the next book to come out.

A wonderful spin on the world of vampires and angels. We don’t normally see these two together. I loved the characters and the depth they brought to this story. A wonderfully spun romance in a fantasy world brought so many elements that I enjoy. I love not being able to guess/know what is always going to happen. I thought the story was well paced.

You definitely get more than you expect with Cruel King! The grumpy male main character, Matthias, is devastatingly sad with the world on his shoulders. Our main female character, Ava, is head strong and knows what she wants. Ava is best friends with Matthias’ younger brother, but she and Matthias have never really meshed well, but one day, fate brought them together just as fast as it tore them apart. There is definitely heartbreak in this novel, but also a lot of character growth and love. I need a different book for every brother.

Sweet, forbidden contemporary romance that is totally swoon worthy. I enjoyed this story so much and the sizzle between Derek and Melinda…which did not get off on the right foot…I loved every page. Derek learns never to judge a book by its cover….as Melinda takes him by surprise with her wit and no backing down from his initial unkind words.

It is hard in the fashion business to be successful, but Derek has what it takes being owner of Wilson Creations that is built on success. Needing a new assistant, Melinda is hired to be the assistant that Derek needs, but initially he is cold and was outspoken that Melinda does not have what it takes to be his assistant. With each day working with each other, Derek and Melinda have more than just a working relationship, their connection runs deeper as they both push each other to be better in the fashion industry. Will Derek and Melinda find their HEA that they always longed for?

This is a wonderful romance story that I could not get enough of. This is my first book from this author and I am already looking forward to reading more from her.

Another amazing historical cowboy romance from this author. <br /><br />As well as keeping the characters present from the previous books, we follow Billie Jean as she spends the summer with her cousins, who we met previously Greta Fay and her family. <br /><br />Not only is Billie Jean is visiting from Los Angeles, where she is one of the few to attend college, so is looked at as a troublemaker by most of the town of Clear Creek County in 1895. But she is related to Greta Fay. <br /><br />When she meets an elusive man Fisher, she is intrigued but soon finds out he is the supervisor at the farm where many of the men of the county work. Disappointed by this but unable to completely forget him, things get worse when there is arson and misdeeds going on. Can Billie Jean and Fisher survive the issues and come through them for their HEA as well as the rest of the characters who take a step forward like Sue Ann and her issues with Carl. <br /><br />I cannot wait to find out what happens next.

Love shots is the fourth book in the Bluestone series, which takes place in a small town. Teddy recently bought Micky’s a local bar but finds himself with an unexpected guest, Summer, a childhood friend who’s grandfather used to own. The first scene got my attention right away. Even through Summer’s angry late night tirade, Teddy sees that Summer isn’t quite the all put together self she usually is. This book was fun to read and I enjoyed getting to know the characters. I did read the first book in the series which helped me know some of the characters that showed up in the story. Overall, I enjoyed the book and will be reading the books in this series that I’ve missed.

I don’t know that I would use the word hate, but these two characters definitely do not like one another. Lev and Daphne are just going to have to learn to get along now that their best friends are married. As much as they bickered with one another you’d have thought that they were a couple, ha-ha. They are attracted to each other, but neither of them will admit it. It has come down to them spending a night together, hoping that will get it all out of their system. Did it work? This can be read in one sitting, and you will not want to put it down.

GAH!!! This here is absolute P. E. R. F. E. C. T. I. O. N. !!!!
It needs to be made into a movie so I can watch it over and over again…
Russian and Royally Complicated is the second book in The Crowned Hearts series by the talented duo of Gwyn McNamee and Christy Anderson. This is a captivating, oh-so-sexy, and fun enemies-to-lovers romance with forced proximity, grumpy/sunshine, hidden royalty, a bad boy prince, volcanic chemistry, sizzle, a little suspense, some angst, tension, and emotion….. and then there’s also one of my favourite tropes in this book- and it’s one of the best parts about this story, too- but I won’t mention because I don’t want to ruin it for you.

This is Lev and Daphne’s story- who we both met back in book one as they are Fyn and Bridget’s best friends. A steamy encounter at their best friends wadding might have been in the heat of the moment, but neither is prepared for what happens next.
Two of my favourite authors come together and create magic- EVERY. SINGLE. TIME! I can’t wait to see what they do next!
Happy Reading…

Thank you, Gwyn McNamee and Christy Anderson!

Marked Wolf begins immediately where the first book (Shadow Wolf) left on a huge cliff hanger. Stepping back into the action of trying to get the blood opal back from the vampires, Tamaska’s fear of dogs, and Kodiak’s pack refusing him a relationship with Tamaska due to her being a human. Most of this book focuses on these key issues with a few extras added. Unfortunately, for me it took too long for the good parts in this book and when it did it feels like key parts were not explained. The ending was the best part, but it still felt rushed. It ends on another cliff hanger as well so I will need to read the next book.

Softest Touch was a cute short story. An office romance that started off sour, but blossomed into something sweet. The author put together a story that I finished in one sitting. Not just because it was short, but I kept reading because I wanted to know what happened next.
Derek is a workaholic fashion creator and business owner. Melinda his newly hired assistant. Well only on a temporary basis. He doesn’t feel she can keep up with him. However not only did she do that, she also showed she cared for his well being.
Changing the complex dynamic between them. The chemistry can’t be denied, however fear holds them both back.
The author writes them in a way that works wonderfully. Both caterpillars emerge from their cocoons as beautiful butterflies, which is the only way to depict the growth.
If you enjoy once romances and don’t have lots of time, this short story is perfect for you!

Although it’s challenging, I’m super glad the chemistry between Tamaska and Kodiak continues to grow more and more. The author did a great job with writing these characters and building an amazing world. This one also does answer some questions you might have had from the first one. Still I’m going to go back to read the third one again now that I have a better understanding of whos who and what happen 🥰🥰🥰

It’s funny how She hated dogs and he hated humans.🤣🤣🤣 but ended up together. Opposite subtract, right? Tamaska started out way more headstrong. Even though The author touched on the blood opal, it’s still a mystery to me. So that means on to the next book. I can’t wait to see what happens because this one ends on a cliffhanger.

I was anticipating this book after reading book 1 in this series and it definitely did not disappoint. I highly recommend reading book 1 first as this story picks up where the first book ended. Be ready for emotional roller coaster ride with shifters, vampires, angst, drama, mystery, spark and sizzle.

Tamaska and Kodiak are back, still trying to find a missing blood opal…knowing that the vampires have it in their hands. Between trying to find the missing blood opal, Tamaska is harboring some angered feeling toward Kodiak when she finds out who he really is…..a wolf shifter..especially after being intimate with him and Tamaska. The spark between Tamaska and Kodiak is truly undeniable, but they need to work together to obtain the missing blood opal before it is to late and it is used for reasons that can be deadly. Will Tamaska and Kodiak be able to find the missing blood opal and Tamaska get the revenge she is seeking when her own best friend was murdered by the hands of vampires? Can Kodiak protect his pack and protect Tamaska too…even though she is human?

This is a great read and I cannot wait to continue this series.

This book captivated me from the very beginning, and I read it as fast as I could. It kept me on the edge of my seat the whole way thought. It was so well written I really felt like I was running along with Ian and Katherine. These two characters are extremely well written and fit in this story very well. The chemistry in this book will maybe make you blush and hold your pearls, but it goes so well in this book. The idea of Atlantis as a prison for the supernatural really was intriguing, I love the way authors spin a few tales in that could very well make sense. The writing of this book flowed nicely and is very disruptive. It’s a fast-paced paranormal romance filled with vampires, monsters, danger, drama, chemistry, action, adventure, suspense that it really was hard to put down. I highly recommend this book and can’t wait for the next one.

Marked Wolf (Protector Wolf Shifter Series Book 2)Marked Wolf by Lilliana Rose
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Continuation. This is the second book in the Protector Wolf Shifter series, and picks up in the same moment that book one, Shadow Wolf, ended in. Thus, it is very important to read book one first, to understand the story and not be lost or confused about what has happened and is happening. Once again, told from the dual perspectives of Tamaska and Kodiak as their epic love story continues.
Kodiak with no choice had finally told Tamaska what he is. Due to her childhood trauma of being attacked and scared by a dog attack her fears overwhelm her as she rejects Kodiak and all that he is even when she knows her words were a lie the moment, she said them. Her fear makes her believe that it’s not possible but her heart breaks for him and the distance she keeps from him. Tamaska has one goal, find the Blood Opal, and get her life back to normal. Kodiak, though broken hearted, is determined to keep Tamasha safe while also completing his mission of finding the Opal and figuring out why everyone wants it. Is it just for the money or something else? Since the night of what she thought was a normal event she has been caught in the middle of the darkness that lurks in the shadows, humans oblivious to the constant threat to their lives as they know it. The missing blood opal was just the beginning.
Who will find the blood opal first? Why is the blood opal so important to the vampires, and to the Alpha? While the world was built in book one the shadows continue to come into the light as Tamaska and Kodiak both dig deeper into the theft that uprooted both of their lives. The characters grow and learn to overcome their fears as well as sticking to their beliefs in what the right thing to do is. Giving you some answers from the first book the author makes sure you have plenty of more questions in your mind keeping you guessing and in complete anticipation of book three, Rogue Wolf. I am so glad I impatiently waited for book three to come out before finally digging into book two, so that I don’t have to wait to see what happens next.
