Shadowed Obsession (Shadow Defense Security Series Book 1) by Mavery Ellscott – Review by Katie Turner
Shadowed Obsession: An Action-Packed Romantic Suspense Thriller by Mavery Ellscott
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Shadowed Obsession by Mavery Ellscott is the first book in the Shadow Defense Security series. I felt like this book had a perfect pace as the story of Keira O’Ryan unfolded. She is a PR representative with a bit of a past she’d rather forget, and a stalker who is trying to work their way into literally every nook and cranny of her life to spy on her. She has a neighbor who happens to be a very attractive ex-Navy SEAL and owns his own security company. Cade tries to help keep Keira safe and get to this stalker before harm comes to her. Tension, thrill, and wonderful writing accentuate these well-fleshed characters and plot. I absolutely recommend if you are interested in a fast-paced, but well written thriller. I look forward to see what is next for the Shadow Defense Security series!

Master Campania (Masters of the Consulate Book 7) by Sylvia Black – Review by Rebeca Elliott Figueiras
Master Campania: Dark Vampire Romance by Sylvia Black
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
This is the seventh book in the Masters of the Consulate series, this time focusing on Master Campania and Williow. Each book can be read as a standalone, focusing on different couples, however I highly recommend reading the series from the beginning to understand the underlying storyline running through each book and the recurring characters.
Once again, I enjoyed the author’s writing style it flows nicely and is easy to follow, enhancing the reading experience. The descriptive writing paints vivid images of the setting and characters, bringing them to life.
I enjoyed the enemies-to-lovers aspect between Williow and Master Campania and the strain this causes as difficult decisions are made.
I don’t think I will ever tire of this series, and I’m always left waiting impatiently for the next book. This time will be no different!
Bared. (A Green St. Girls Romance) by N.D. Jackson – Review by Christine Baranek
Bared. by N.D. Jackson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Bared
By: ND Jackson
This is the first book of the Green Street Girls. Athena, Gwyn, Indigo and Charlie have all grown up with absolutely difficult lives but they have managed to overcome them and are now successful young women.
Bared is Athena’s story. She is definitely a very complex character and the author does a fantastic job of writing her with the amount of depth that she deserves. She was abandoned at age 13 and had to fend for herself. This gave her a toughness about her that is always on the periphery of her character. Additionally, she has a pain that is deep inside her that also colors her interactions with others. She has managed to make something of herself and is now a club owner. A career choice, that I feel fits the character of Athena that the author developed, it needs a type of deep seated toughness to deal with owning a club. She meets Tru and realizes that she may need to let her guard down to have the man of her dreams. She is hesitant to open up, but just maybe her pain in her past isn’t so bad that she can’t let someone in.
I definitely enjoyed this story, so much so that I read it in one day. I cannot wait to read the stories about the rest of the girls!
Love Bites More (The Darkness & Light Duology, and the Love Bites World) by TL Clark – Review by Moriah Venable
Love Bites More by T.L. Clark
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Watchers and Brothers-in-arms, Elan and Arwyn along with Pryderi made a vow years before to never become romantically involved. Their bond is worth more than just a night of pleasure. When Pryderi returns with his mate, things start to shift. Elan and Arwn feelings for each other begin to emerge more with the two thinking that the feelings are one sided. A new man also appears stirring up more trouble.
I have read at least two books in this series and really enjoyed it. Elan and Arwn pinning for each other while in close proximity just made me want to scream ‘just talk! You will learn that the feelings are mutual.’ The oath they made may very well be the same thing that keeps them apart. With so many factors within their relationship, I was hoping for a happy ending.
I do love the characters and I hope there will be more in the series.

Marked Wolf (Protector Wolf Shifter Series Book 2) by Lilliana Rose – Review by Carrie Reed
Marked Wolf by Lilliana Rose
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
I have been waiting for the second installment to this series and I could not be more happy with the results. Tamaska kind of irked me in this book, I can understand her fear of dogs due to a past trauma, but I feel like Kodiak more than proved over and over that he would never hurt her and would always protect her. Shota, I could tell he was going to be a problem for the couple, he seems just so angry and has tunnel vision when it comes to Tamaska. There is still no reason as to why the vampires want her so much and what is so special about her blood, but it seems to me that Tamaska may not be all the way human. Can’t wait to see what happens next.

There’s a saying that goes “ If you have a garden and a library you have everything you need.” I couldn’t agree more and despite the fact that I’ve not a green finger I do try but on this instance this really is a healing garden ……
Holly is a born nurse but after a very traumatic experience in the emergency room she has to take a sabbatical to heal and get over the sense of not belonging so she travels across Australia following music festivals where she either works as a nurse or volunteer , she travels in her trusty “steed”!Norman and I must say he’s rather decorative but the meaning behind his art work is a lot deeper ❣️🚙
While finishing off at a festival she gets a call that her grandmother Mona is in hospital and she heads to Bendigo to be with her and that’s where she meets Christopher….let’s just say his reception was rather chilling ….
Christopher has demons of his own and he has misconceived ideas of Holly and who she is and her story let alone her relationship with her grandmother but there’s no mistake both of them love Mona ….
So Mona and Christopher were working with children on a garden , but the children all come from abusive backgrounds where the mother has died at the hand of the abuse and more often than not they saw it all go down and man my heart broke into a million pieces but there’s healing here and Holly is so good with the children and the gravitate towards her but Billy and Sophie have a special place in my heart and the relationship they share with Holly is just amazing 🥰
Watching Christopher ( Kit) discover Holly and the magic they share was beautiful but even more amazing was the garden and it’s healing and yes I cried alot but I also laughed a lot ( Jaffa reference 🤣🫣) there were some rather stressful and mail biting moments where I held my breath !
These characters are so endearing and climb into your ❤️ a brilliant read

Broken. (Green St. Girls Series) by N.D. Jackson – Review by Maisie Dickinson
Broken. by N.D. Jackson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Content Warning: child abused/paedophilia. Indigo is a girl with a haunting past but a bright future. Gideon is her best friends brother, who is new to town and living in her guest house. When Indigo begins to receive threats regarding a new contract with work, her ex-army guest is the perfect person to keep her company. It’s got the best friends brother trope and the bodyguard trope! Indigo and Gideon have so much in common and have a really lovely friendship, which makes their love story all the better. The only issue I found was that sometimes it felt like the writing was telling rather than showing, which wasn’t needed because you could understand what was happening without it being explained. My favourite character was Indigo, although it’s hard to choose between her and Gideon. My least favourite character was Oliver. I recommend this book because Indigo’s story is an important story to tell and it’s inspiring to see her overcome her past. I also love a friends to lovers story. ‘He was my comfort spot, my safe space. My home.’
Forbidden Mate (The Shadow Chronicles Book 2) by CR Robertson – Review by Callie Luna
Forbidden Mate by C.R. Robertson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Spoilers for the previous book, Forbidden Wolf, are ahead. Tasha and Levi are finally able to be together due to an uneasy truce between the vampires and lycans. Both species have a common enemy now – the hellspawn. More secrets are revealed about the unlikely but destoned pair as they uncover more secrets of the vampires and lycans. I love Tasha and Levi finally being together and further building their relationship, they are perfect for one another. Forbidden Mate has several twists and turns starting about halfway through the story. The ending caused me to pick up the next book, Forbidden Moon, immediately.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars
4 Stars
Marked Wolf is the second book in the Protector Wolf Shifter Series by Lilliana Rose. It is an intriguing urban fantasy/paranormal romance with shifters (wolves), vampires, a precious gem called the ‘Blood Opal’, a quest, action, adventure, danger, drama, chemistry, tension, mystery, emotion, politics, high stakes, agendas, suspense, the supernatural, the threat of war, and much more.
This picks up where we left off in book one. Tamaska has been targeted by the vampires and Kodiak must answer to the pack- so things are about to get ‘interesting’… I was avidly reading, immersed in the story, following along to see how it all played out. Excitedly awaiting Book #3!
Happy Reading…
Thank you, Lilliana Rose!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars
5 Stars
Master Campania is the seventh book in the Masters of the Consulate series by Sylvia Black. I know I keep saying it, but this series really does get better with each new instalment- Ms. Black ups the ante every time- seven books in and the spark and intensity are still dialled up on high. This is another superb paranormal romance in this fantastic series- a romantic suspense/dark romance with vampires, an underworld society, mafia vibes, a fated mates element, chemistry, sizzle, witches, magic, agendas, politics, danger, emotion, action, dramatic developments, duty vs love, trust issues, choices, and plenty of passion.
This could be read as a standalone if you wanted- but having said that, I highly recommend reading the other books in the series before beginning this one because each instalment in the series focuses on its own separate character/s, and there are also some interconnected details, as well as recurring characters that span the series- so I really recommend reading from the beginning, so you know what’s happened right from the start. Plus, you would be seriously missing out on some fantastic stories if you ignored the other six books.
The best part about this series is that there are 12 books planned…. which means more sexy vampires still to come!
Oh, and did I mention VAMPIRES!!!!!
Bring on Book Eight- I can’t wait!!!
Happy Reading…
Thank you, Sylvia Black!

Guarding the Crease (The Playmakers Series Hockey Romances Book 9) by G.K. Brady – Review by Beverly Finnie
Guarding the Crease by G.K. Brady
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Guarding the Crease was an enjoyable sports opposites attract romance. However I feel the bigger message the author projected was a man’s journey of finding himself. Growing up, seeing his awful actions through the eyes of others, and the acceptance and guilt that came with it.
Wyatt has fallen. He lost the job he loved, all because he couldn’t reign in his partying ways. It’s something that happens to a lot of athletes and celebrities, however now he will do whatever he can to get that dream back. His journey is eye opening in so many ways, and the author presented that beautifully.
Then there’s Serena, the PR rep for the CO hockey team. Who spent so much of her first so many years with the team, cleaning up Wyatt’s PR blunders and organizational blows. Now he’s back, which worries her. Worried she will be spending time cleaning up after him again. Crazy thing about all that is she has agreed to be his date for his brother’s wedding. Maybe it’ll make her job easier, by being there she could get ahead of an issue or so she thought.
What happens when she can tell he’s changing? That he’s starting to understand and embrace the turmoil he brought to the organization?
All that and so much more comes from this book.
If you’ve ever been in a place where you had to stop and look in the mirror, well you’ll understand what Wyatt is experiencing throughout this book.
I’ve always enjoyed sports romances, but I enjoy this book more due to Wyatt’s personal journey.

Broken is the second book in the Green St. Girls Series by ND Jackson. In this book, we get to follow Indigo and Gideon. This was a lovely story. I really enjoy getting to see more of the girls’ friendships. You get more of the well-crafted narrative. There is just the right amount of steam with the romance. It is lovely to see these young ladies get the love from each other and their love interests that they didn’t get in the past. These are some very emotional stories told in this series and I love every word of it.

Bared by ND Jackson is the first book in the A Green St. Girls Romance. This first book follows Athena who has been on her own since she was a teenage girl and is now a millionaire. She meets Tru and their romance takes off. This is a nice contemporary romance. The author does a very good job of pulling you in and making you feel for these characters. I love the closeness of the Green St. Girls and their found family relationship. The romance and chemistry between Athena and Tru are nice also.

This book is a part of the Darkness & Light Duology, but it can absolutely be read as a stand alone book. The characters are very well defined and the author makes sure to include information for the readers to assure they can follow along with the story without having read other books. She isn’t limited in her use of “cuss words” which, lets face it, sometimes just make the story that much more relatable. Her world building is out of this world. I want to get lost here and become one with the story. I highly recommend this story.

Marked Wolf by Lilliana Rose
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Marked Wolf is the second book in the Protector Wolf Shifter Series and takes up where the first book Shadow Wolf finished. It is a paranormal romance story where the journey continues for Tamaska and Kodiak.
This fast-paced intriguing forbidden love story is as intense as it is mysterious as it is suspenseful and is action packed and full of drama, danger, tension, and romance.
At times is has you on the edge of your seat and gets your heart going.
Tamaska is new to the darkness in the world, but she will not let that darkness win. She is on the hunt to take the blood opal back from the vampires.
Kodiak is a wolf shifter and. With his protective instincts on high and his heart falling hard he knows his kind does not take kindly to humans. In fact, a relationship between the two is forbidden.
I came away with a few unanswered questions from the first book and they have mostly been answered but now I have more hopefully the next book will explain.
Set in an urban fantasy world of vampires and shifters what more do you need.

Marked Wolf by Lilliana Rose
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Marked Wolf is Book Two in the Protector Wolf Shifter Series. This book picks up where the first book left off so if you have not read it, I recommend starting with it or you may feel a bit lost in the storyline. Tamaska has discovered that Kodiak is not the man that she thought that he was. Instead, he is a shifter and everything that she loathes. Yet, Tamaska cannot stop thinking about Kodiak and is unable to deny the attraction that she feels towards him. Since the Blood Opal was stolen, she is determined to get it back at all costs. Even if that means walking right into the lair of the vampires with no thought for her own safety. Her job, her career, and her reputation are at stake and therefore her focus is to find and return the blood opal. Kodiak is unable to deny his attraction to Tamaska which put him at risk with his own pack. Under no circumstances are a wolf and a human ever to bond yet Kodiak is willing to risk everything to save Tamaska from the vampires. Can Tamaska and Kodiak ever find a way to be together through all the challenges they face? A beautifully written book that pulls you in and immerses you in the storyline and the lives of the characters from the first few pages. The scenes were described so vividly that you feel as though you are right there in the story. The characters were engaging, and I felt invested in the lives of Tamaska and Kodiak. I rooted for them to face the challenges that came their way and overcome them so they could be together. This book had action, drama, suspense, mystery, intrigue, shapeshifters, vampires, love, passion, and chemistry. I highly recommend this book!

Regaining Integrity by Brooke May
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
4.5 Stars
Regaining Integrity is the fourth book in the Code of Honor series by Brooke May. I can rely on Ms. May to deliver a captivating story that never fails to pull me in and immerse me in the lives of her characters as everything unfolds- crafting ‘real’ and relatable characters that I can’t help but become completely invested in and have me rooting for them right from the outset. But that’s not to say there weren’t some frustrating moments where I wanted to shake them, well especially Chase, and tell them to get their (his) act together 😊 But they really were perfect for each other- even if they didn’t fully realise it to begin with. I also loved catching up with some other familiar faces we’ve met previously- that added an extra element of fun for me, too.
This proved to be another sublime contemporary military romance, with a little drama, chemistry, steam, and plenty of emotion. Definitely worth the read!
Happy Reading!
Thank you, Brooke May!

Smooth Hoperator: A Fake-Relationship Romance (Love on Tap Book 2)
These Brooks brothers can’t be more different from one another. They each have their endearing qualities and Carter’s superpower is being a broody and quiet guy with an amazing awareness of right and wrong.
Sunny is the eternal optimist who refuses to see the bad in anyone and also will do anything to help people out to her detriment. She gets taken advantage of though I don’t think she felt that way because she loves to help any and every one.
There is such an interesting cast of characters in this book. Duke the paranoid old man, Sebastian the granola hippy next door and Mia the best friend just to name a few.
There are so many laughs throughout the book and a happy ending. Definitely what I have come to expect from Ms. Stewart. I’m really looking forward to the most entertaining Brooks brother, Miller. I have a feeling I won’t be able to put it down.
I loved this book and love the series. Ms. Stewart has a way to suck you in to the story in the best way.
Love Bites More (The Darkness & Light Duology, and the Love Bites World) by TL Clark – Review by Francis O’Sullivan
Love Bites More by T.L. Clark
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Love Bites More is a fantasy romance that is set in the same world as the Darkness and Light Duology. It is a standalone story, but will be enjoyable to fans of the other books as it further develops familiar characters.
The story picks up with Elan and Arwyn, two elinfae who are frustrated as their attraction to each other contradicts their longstanding agreement not to jeopardise their friendship by getting romantically or sexually involved with each other. Newcomer Hassan provides a welcome distraction to both, but also complicates things!
As the story gets going, there is plenty of magic and action in addition to the romance. It’s very entertaining! The world is well established from the earlier books, but it’s easy to pick up what you need to know if you’re starting here. There’s even a summary at the start of the book to fill in any gaps.
This gets four stars from me. I’d recommend it to fans of queer and polyamorous romance, particularly if you’ve enjoyed the rest of the series!
