Master Campania (Masters of the Consulate Book 7) by Sylvia Black – Review by Beverly Finnie

Master Campania: Dark Vampire Romance (Masters of the Consulate Book 7)Master Campania: Dark Vampire Romance by Sylvia Black
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I don’t think I can describe how much I love this series. Master Campania is probably my second favorite book in this series, behind the first one. This author never disappoints and always has me wanting more. I’ve been vampire obsessed forever and this series has been the perfect thing to scratch that obsessive itch.
Master Campania has met his match, but she’s a witch. She can bring him to his knees. Yet he doesn’t trust her.
Willow set her eyes on a dark stranger, knowing who he was but never met. Little did she know it would turn her world upside down.
Despite the spicy attraction between these two the quest is still the same. Bringing back order to the underworld. Getting control of the rogues and/or eliminating them. Isala might be gone but her followers are still leading the charge to bring down Overmaster Descallia’s order.
These books are all connected, you can read one as a standalone if you want. However I wouldn’t recommend it. There will be parts that are missing so it’s best to read straight through. So jump back to book 1 and get started and I’ll meet you when book 8 comes out. If you’ve already read books 1-6, well you know what that means. The Masters of the Consulate are back and it’s time to jump on in.

Bared. (Green St. Girls #1)Bared. by N.D. Jackson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I thoroughly enjoyed reading the story both from Athena’s point of view as well as Tru’s. I liked the relationship the girls have with each other. Yes they are friends but really they are family. They have different stories that led them to each other. The romance and sex scenes are good. It’s easy to read and get lost in.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

It took a little bit for me to get into this story, I blame it on my family interrupting my reading time every other word, but once I got into I really enjoyed this book.
While this is book 2, you don’t need to read book 1 but if you want a little more details on some things mentioned in this book I would read in order.

This did overlap with events in book 1 but was to be expected with the nature of events taking place.
I really loved Sunny, she reminded me of me, unable to say no, a people pleaser and loves her family.
Carter was quiet but I enjoyed what we did learn of him along the way.
But my favorite person was Duke he tied this all together and made for some laughs.
I cannot wait for the next one!

The Silent Woodsman (The Olympic Peninsula series Book 1) Audiobook by Cat Treadgold – Review by Ashley Mertz

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Silent Woodsman by Cat Treadgold is available now in eBook, Audiobook, and Physical Book
⭐️⭐️⭐⭐ Audio Book Review

The Silent Woodsman is the first installment of the Olympic Peninsula series written by Cat Treadgold. This is my first time reading (listening) to a novel by Treadgold. Down on her luck, Ali is attempting to connect with her twin when she finds herself at a cabin waiting out a storm. Mute country singer Joe answers the door and communicates with Ali in writing as he is “resting his voice”. The instant undeniable attraction between the two is so innocent and pure. The chemistry between the two is intense. I thoroughly enjoyed the different approach of communicating through writing. At first I wasn’t sure that I was going to like this but it ended up growing on me. The Silent Woodsman was a little too slowly paced for my liking. I did find it dragging out in places and rushed in others, especially the ending. Despite this flaw, I loved how descriptive the detail was. The characters were lovable, relatable, and engaging. I felt as if I was on this journey right alongside them. I recommend this novel to all romance lovers and truly look forward to reading installment number two later this month.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

If you are looking for a book that will give you all the feels, leave you crying, smiling, and wanting to keep turning the pages, then this book is for you!

Planting Hope by Jennifer Raines follows the stories of Nurse Holly Cooper and gardner Kit Silverton as they plant their way to their very own love story.

I loved the fact that the characters seemed real, flawed, and nuanced but still kept the lighthearted feel of a romance while still dealing with hard topics like grief, loss, and domestic violence. The book felt real and left you feeling like hope and love can help you through pain and loss. I can’t wait to pick up another book by this author.

Happy Reading!

4 Stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This is a very good debut contemporary romance that definitely gave me a slow burn between Joe and Ali. This story was very enjoyable and I loved that the author was the narrator.

Joe is taking a bit of a break with his voice being isolated to rest in a cabin in the Hoh Rain forest. Joe never expects a visitor at his cabin…. Where he meets Ali. Joe connects with Ali…but when. It is all said and done they part ways… Ali never knowing that Joe is a popular country singer…. But in all they never forgot each other….the connection and spark.

Time passes…but a chance encounter reunites Joe and Ali in unexpected ways..but with family drama, jealousy and lies come in between…will Joe and Ali ever have their HEA that they deserve….

I am already looking to forward to Book 2 … this was a very good story to start a new series ⭐️

getting to know Dimitri and Austen. They
are so in sync with one another and build
up their friendship into something more. On
top of falling for this love story, there is
hockey (huge hockey fam here) and female
leadership. Now I’m really wanting to read

This book was so moving on so many levels!! I love the stories of redemption throughout this book. Holly returns to home to take over for her grandmother who has been hurt and is in the hospital. She leads a group of children who come from abusive backgrounds as they work to build a garden. Holly gets much more than she bargained for. She may have to decide whether or not to keep running from the violence in her recent past.

Broken. (Green St. Girls Series) by N.D. Jackson – Review by Jessica Stone

I fell in love with the previous book in this series and I was so pumped to see that the author carried on with the characters in the first book instead of introducing completely random new people.

Indigo is a meek but strong, inventive, funny, brilliant nerdy girl of my dreams, having a lot of trauma from abuse she suffered by the hands of someone close to her in the past she has a hard time getting close to and trusting people, particularly men. That is until Gideon.
Gideon is a gentle giant with his own demons to fight, right after he’s done fighting everything that can ever or has ever hurt or threatened indigo, he’s vowed to be her protector and he’s already her roommate, so what could go wrong here?

Indigo starts receives some shady messages from someone want to stop her from selling some programs she has made to the government and her new roommate is not going to let that fly and in the process his heart start to soar, for Indigo, now she’s just got to get with the program. Easier said than done when you’re fighting the demons she is. Can Gideon keep Indigo safe and convince her that her heart is also safe with him?

I love how meek Indigo is, except when it comes to letting others do everything for her, she may be the youngest Green Street Girl, but she is not one to be messed with. Her past pain is palpable and it tears at my soul to see her fighting to get through it in this book but it makes her character all the more relatable reading something so deep that happens to girls everywhere. Gideon, oh Gideon, not much I can say about Gideon but he’s the giant teddy bear I need, the big macho army type, don’t touch what’s mine, I’m also sporting scars from my past, I’m healing though, type guy is literally exactly what Indigo needed. Their romance is so relatable, wonderful, I couldn’t look away.

Once again, you knocked it out of the park N.D Jackson! I can’t wait to read the next book, which I’m assuming/hoping will be Gwyn’s.

Broken. (Green St. Girls #2)Broken. by N.D. Jackson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Broken was a wonderful addition to the Green Street Girls Series. I picked up book one on a whim, but I am intentionally reading book two, and I am intending to pick up any other books that this author wants to add to this series. Broken has one big trigger, sexual assault to a minor, it’s not graphically described but could trigger some sensitive readers. It’s also a main topic as it’s one of the reasons Indigo is the way she is, why she struggles with relationships, her own body, sexuality, and why she has such a hard time trusting people. At times some of the language/conversations/dialogue seems a little immature which I feel was intentional due to what happened to Indigo. Her trauma didn’t allow her to grow emotionally like she should have. I loved Gideon. He had his own things to hash out, and overcome which made the book/characters so much more realistic because neither of them were perfect. Broken is technically it’s own story, and it gives enough background to understand where the Green Street Girls come from, how they got where they are, and what they have accomplished that you don’t have to read book one, but all of the characters from book one are in book two including Tru who is a main character in book one.

Bared. (A Green St. Girls Romance) by N.D. Jackson – Review by Jessica Stone

I almost didn’t even know how to start this review, I just read the first and second book (Broken) back to back and I’m in love with these ladies, and they’re wonderful men.

So Bared, is about our gorgeous goddess Athena, who is wealthy, down to earth and just a little bit damaged due to some traumatic experiences that happened when she was just a girl of 17. These experiences pushed her into being the strong, independent, no nonsense woman she is today, she let them shape her and motivate her to be successful in the business world, Athena now running and owning multiple clubs across the US. The only problem is Athena trusts no one, and Love? Besides for her chosen sisters Gwyn and Indigo, love is a foreign concept. Something she’s sworn off, believing she’s too damaged to feel it for a man again.
But where there’s a strong woman, with a sordid past, there has to be an equally strong man ready to tear down all her walls and make second guess everything.

Enter Tru. Tru, in his own way is equally damaged from a past relationship that he thought would be his end game, but it just ended up being a game. Seems like Tru must like games because he happens to be a professional billiards player with some pretty rad skills.
Boy meets girl. Tru heads to a tournament in Chicago, which just so happens to be held in one of Athena’s Clubs, one of her newest and latest projects and when they meet, fireworks.

Can these two hard headed, strong independent people get over their pasts and embrace the love that’s surely brewing between the two of them, or are the destined for loneliness to save themselves from heart break.

Ugh, Tru, is such a hard head, he’s typical masc man, but definitely with a sweeter side with a slash of southern gent, minus the accent, but I get so frustrated when he takes everything so personally and compares it to his ex, makes me want to reach into the book and flick him in the nose. But the same can be said for Athena, her strong will and drive are admirable, but she’s so closed off and closed minded when it comes to Tru I could wrong her neck. But all of the things make these two and their relationship even more endearing, because you go through these battles with them. You can’t help but fall in love while standing on the side lines rooting for them. Loved this book, I highly recommend!

Reticent Hawke: A Billionaire Reverse Age Gap Best Friend's Older Sister Forbidden Romance (The Hawke Family Second Generation Book 2)Reticent Hawke: A Billionaire Reverse Age Gap Best Friend’s Older Sister Forbidden Romance by Gwyn McNamee
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the second book in the Hawke Family Second Generation series. This instalment focuses on Jude and Angelina.

I always enjoy coming back to the Hawke family books, they’re well-written and the characters are complex yet believable. The writing style is easy to follow and flows nicely making getting drawn in easy. Once again, I got far too emotionally invested in both Jude and Angelina and how their story would develop, especially given both their traumas. The tension is clear throughout and the danger evident leaving you on the edge of your seat at times.

I’m looking forward to the release of the next book, I just can’t stand the waiting!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Heavy Shot is the seventh book in the sports Nashville Assassins: Next Generation series. Unfortunately, I didn’t realise it was the seventh book in the series until I went looking for the next book to read. Now I have started at the end I need to go back and start at the beginning with the first book with the first generation.
Heavy Shot is an entertaining story with some laughter but it’s not all fun and games. There is some early childhood trauma that comes into play. This emotional and heartfelt tale is sexy, and sparks fly as the MC’s give in to what they want. Watch as the locker room steams up from more than just the showers.
The characters are so easy to like and fall in love with they stole my heart.
The Assassins are an Ice hockey team many following in their fathers’ legacies and Dimitri is no different. It is his life.
Is history repeating itself? Will one encounter lead to a HEA? Well to find out you will have to read the story yourself.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Heavy Shot is the seventh book in the Nashville Assassins series by Toni Aleo. I had actually never heard of this series before, and this is the first book I have read by this author. I really enjoyed this story, I read it in one sitting and found it thoroughly entertaining. The story follows Austen, a young woman with a tragic past who is currently trying to learn all she can about hockey to take over her grandfather’s new business, and Dimitri, the Russian stallion. When the two unexpectedly get pushed into the others personal space they both help each other see that there is more to life than what they have had so far. I loved these characters; they are so genuine. I started getting the rage at Austens grandfather though. I love it when a book makes me emotional. I would recommend this book to romance lovers. The only thing I would ask/change is for there to be a breakdown somewhere of who everyone is related to and how. As a newcomer to the series there was a lot of names all at once and it took a bit of time to work out how each person fitted in, however, in saying that I will be going back to the start to read this series.

This book was full of sparks all over. We have Shelli, grudge holder to Dimitri. Shelly and Posey, sisters who argue. Dimitri and Austen. Oh, did I love Dimitri and Austen story. These two showed us what true love is. It all came down to what is more important to you and what are you willing to give up. First, this is my first venture into the Nashville Assasins and I need more!! This team story is hot and exciting. I loved the drama. Second, I couldn’t put down the story of these two. I was pulled in by their interactions. I loved the back stories with all the OG families, such as Peepaw, and Dimitri’s family and the Adlers. The dual POV makes reading it so much more like you are there listening to the interaction. This book was a fantastic story. A quick read that will make you smile.

Can love work through the silence?

I found this a romantic and charming story. The flirting between these two was fun and quite witty. When one can’t talk and the communication must be done by writing it makes it so much fun. The miscommunication can be fun and quite enticing. Blushing abounds because errors can be made. These two are quite fun characters. I enjoyed their story. It kind of reminded me of a Pretty Woman vibe. I couldn’t stop the story. Ali had her hands full trying to figure out what had happened to her brother and that mystery, then she comes upon Joe in the woods. He’s dealing with surgery that can mess up his career. His biggest obstacle sis having to keep quiet due to surgery on his vocal cords. I enjoyed the story very much.Hearing it in audio did a lot to add to it. The narration was a little dry but I still enjoyed it as it brought the story to life. With Ali’s brother’s mystery, I feel hearing it in audio, that helps add more to the story. It’s quite enjoyable.

This is an author that I never hesitate to pick up. I was excited to pick up the next book in this series. I highly suggest reading the previous book in this series to help your enhancement of the characters and the author’s writing style. I found this book to be well written and hard to put down. The characters pull you into the story from the beginning. They are great strong, steamy characters that are among some of my favorites. They have great chemistry and growth throughout the story adding to the entertainment value of the story. This is a fast paced, engaging story where growing up on the streets, life teaches you to trust no one. A life where you find yourself trusting one person but you are not allowed to have her. No matter what you can’t have her but there is a determination and attraction that can’t be ignored. This is a story you don’t want to miss. It is full of romance, steam and just hard to put down. I really enjoyed this book and I highly recommend it.

The seventh book in the Masters of the Consulate series and I am still hooked. With each new book I am just blown away. Vampires, witches, alpha males, steam and such a strong storyline keeps the reader glued from start to finish. This is Master Campania’s story and he is so headstrong and as alpha as they can get. Even though this can be read as a stand alone, it would be a shame not to read all the books in the series – they are just sinfully delightful. Highly recommend.

The Silent Woodsman is the first book in The Olympic Peninsula Series (Audiobook) by this author with narration by Cat Treadgold.  This is my first Audiobook by this author and I’m a fan already. She did a wonderful job with narrating the characters really came to life with the different tones of her voice. I’m fairly new to this author and her work .She pulls you in from the beginning and it’s hard to stop listening.  A storm brought them together but their worlds are keeping them apart. I highly recommend listening to this book to find out what happens next. I don’t want to give to much away. This is definitely worth listening to. I can’t wait for the next book in this series.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Forbidden Mate (The Shadow Chronicles Book 2) by CR Robertson is a great paranormal romance,

Vampire Tasha and Lycan Levi were destined to be adversaries from the start. Their only hope of survival now, as an external threat tests the nascent partnership between the species, is working together. The mysteries that lurk around every corner threaten to shatter all they have ever believed as each step they take draws them further into a web of lies and deception that spans decades. The only way to save the situation as time runs out is to solve the puzzle of lycan and vampire DNA. They were characterized by evolution, but they also produced a monster that was capable of wiping them all out. Even if Levi and Tasha’s love violates every rule that their species had to follow, it might not be powerful enough to protect them from the Hellspawn.

Every page was exciting and I couldn’t wait to see what would happen. It is a unique romance vampire series. The story really brings passion into your life. I couldn’t put the book down. I have binge read the series at this point and will continue on book three.

Reticent Hawke is Book #2 in the new Hawke Family Second Generation series by Gwyn McNamee. I was expecting to love this book, because hello, it’s Gwyn McNamee— but I really didn’t expect to FLOVE it so very very hard. Even having Ms. McNamee play her version of whac-a-mole and pinball with my heart and emotions – making me reach for the tissues, more than once- while I was sobbing my heart out and trying to read through all the tears — she wrung me out and I FLOVED every second!
GAH, this is going to be a short review, because how can I ever hope to capture PERFECTION in a few short paragraphs??? Seriously, if you haven’t read this book yet, do yourself a favour and grab a copy and dive right in- you won’t regret it- I cannot recommend this book/series/author highly enough! You NEED her and this book in your life!
I can’t wait to see what she has in store for us in Book #3- Relentless Hawke.
Happy Reading…

Thank you, Gwyn McNamee!

Love Bites MoreLove Bites More by T.L. Clark
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I have not read the first installments of the Darkness and Light set, so this felt a bit overwhelming at first. However, the world is so immersive that I think I would have felt that way at the beginning of book 1, as well. The characters are well rounded and described and you get pulled into this elinefae world.

Arwyn and Elan are the best of friends, and always have been, along with their friend Pryderi. When P finds his fated soulmate while out on a mission, things feel a bit off with the old friends. They are just missing time with the third part of them, but they also hold feelings and desires for one another that they hold secret. Instead of enjoying their time together, it starts to become a form of torture, almost. When Pryderi’s mate, Keira, goes on a mission and returns with Hassan, it starts to become understood.
When Hassan and Elan are found to be mates, Arwyn loses his mind a bit over lost opportunities, and before you know it, they feel their triad bond click into place.

There was fun banter amongst friends, vivid worlds, interesting differences between what I normally read and some very intense scenes amongst the mates.

This is an adorable YA romance book. It follows the main character Pyper over senior year with Prom as the big focus of her year. She wants it canceled, but her efforts backfire. For Pyper having all the answers is normal, but this moment of not having them is breaking her. With the help of friends and family she works through this dilemma called Prom and learning that it is okay to not have the answers. It was a fast paced read that kept me turning the pages. It was easily a one day read. A great story with likable characters in a familiar highschool setting that makes connecting to them easy. I would highly recommend picking up this YA romance! I cannot wait to pick up another book by this author.

Guarding the Crease (The Playmakers #9)Guarding the Crease by G.K. Brady
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Guarding the Crease is part of The Playmaker Series by G.K. Brady. I’ve enjoyed other playmakers books so I was excited for another. But this book can be easily read as a stand alone. Wyatt is honestly…. Terrible, a jerk, not someone you think you’ll like. It’s pretty known he uses who he is to his advantage. Serena is in PR for one of the high ranking hockey teams. And she just so happens to meet the one who is Wyatt on a night out. Though they are clearly attracted to one another, Serena isn’t so sure she can help his image, plus just because it’s her job, why should she want to? Except she owes him. And now it’s going to get messy. I enjoyed these two characters. The redemption was there and the chemistry between them was evident. Things could have moved a bit faster but overall I liked the book and hope there’s more!

The Silent Woodsman by Cat Treadgold
Narrated by Cat Treadgold

I have to say that this book really surprised me. Cat did a wonderful job with the narration. Her inflection and voice brought each of the characters to life. I loved the premise and all of the detailed characters that came into Ally and Joe’s lives as they wound their way back to each other. I love finding great new authors and Cat Treadgold fits that bill. I’m looking forward to listening to the next book!
