Savage Truth (Hidden Valley Elite Book 2) by Isla Vaughn – Review by Helen Dawkins

Savage Truth: A High School Bully Romance (Hidden Valley Elite Book 2)Savage Truth: A High School Bully Romance by Isla Vaughn
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I am becoming such a huge fan of Isla Vaughn’s! This is the second book in the series, but concludes Cole & Riley’s Duet.

It is an absolutely amazing High School bully romance! The author definitely knows how to keep you on your toes!

I read this book in one sitting, I couldn’t wait to devour it after reading the first book. The dynamic between Riley & Cole is so intriguing, it is a “will they-won’t they” type of vibe. Their personalities alone are spectacular and I love that we get to see inside of both of their inner thoughts. It shows why they feel and act the way they do during circumstances.

My favorite part of this book is when they both are both terrified if rejection but they decide to take the leap anyway.

Lots of secondary plots Interconnected and I love that it adds more to the story than just a boy meets girl, girl hates guy type of scene.

Will definitely read more to come from Isla Vaughn and this series.

Echoing Hearts (The Echo Series Book 1) by C.R. Alam – Review by Audrie Harrington

Echoing Hearts (Book 1 of The Echo Series)Echoing Hearts by C.R. Alam
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book was a page turner! I loved the enemies to lovers story line and I really enjoyed getting to know the characters. Rae is a single and very independent woman who writes a travel blog. She is asked to pick up some work for a friend because the original writer couldn’t make it. Rae shows up to an amazing home in Georgia and she meets the homeowner, Dean. Dean was left at the altar a few years prior and he has a lot of feelings and baggage that he just pushes down and he swears off women and dating.. Dean’s sister is the one who set up the magazine article because she designed the house and he is rarely there. Rae and Dean do not get off on the right foot and after a few days they say their goodbyes. After the article is written, Dean reaches out to give his thanks but Rae doesn’t want to have anything to do with dating or even dinner with Dean. While attending a party where her best friend’s band is playing, she runs into Dean again, after all his company owns the contract for Brandon’s band. Dean decides he needs to spend time with Rae to see if whatever is happening or whatever they are feeling will be worked out and they can move on. They walk the park, they spend time eating and talking, and enjoying each other’s company. Rae says they are friends but Dean starts to feel more and becomes very jealous of the friendship that she has with Brandon. I loved getting to know the characters and would like to know even more about their pasts. I liked the story line that kept me turning the pages. I can’t wait to start the next book!

Reaper (War Brothers MC Book 1) by Bianca Lee Ward – Review by Kristan Anderson

Reaper (War Brothers MC, #1)Reaper by Bianca Lee Ward
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Reaper is book one in the War Brothers MC series by Bianca Lee Ward. This book was really good and captivating from the start. I found myself on edge more often than not. Although it was considered a slow burn romance wise, SO MUCH happened throughout this book. I loved getting to know the men in the MC. Each of their personalities shown without overpowering the main characters. Ava is so incredibly strong even though she thinks she’s weak. The bravery she exemplifies and how she loves to take care of people who are important to her is amazing. Reaper is your typical biker, but I loved also seeing his soft side. The chemistry between the pair is so strong from the start. I loved it. I cannot wait to read book two when it comes out! Especially since it’s about the elusive member of the club!

Reaper (War Brothers MC, #1)Reaper by Bianca Lee Ward
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I don’t know why I don’t read more of this type of book because I always end up really enjoying them. Reaper was definitely one of the great ones, I couldn’t put it down. It devoured me heart and soul. I finished it in two days, but found myself wishing that I had taken my time, or that the book had been longer. Like a few other reviewers mentioned there weren’t a lot of chapters from Reapers point of view and I would have loved to hear more from him. I don’t think anything was taken from the story because we didn’t though. Ava’s chapters were fully threshed out, built the scenes, the characters were well described, and contained all the information needed to further the story as the book was mostly centered on her. Reaper did include some sensitive topics like Domestic Violence, PTSD, Violence, and a gun battle, plus a scene concerning an animals welfare (Ava saves him and he’s ok after the other incident) it was all handled very tastefully. Reaper and all the other men in the club were sensitive, protective, and their alpha male personalities was just what Ava needed to feel safe and comfortable enough to come back to herself. I loved Ward’s writing and her ability to spin a story. I definitely see myself reading more from her including this series with book 2 about Bomber.

Last King (Legacy of Riverfall Book 1)Last King by Amabel Daniels
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the first book in the Legacy Of Riverfall series and I’m so excited to see what follows. I was captivated by this story from the start and I read it in on sitting. This is a fantasy adventure which has everything, action, tension, danger, Romance, fae’s and mystical beings. All these elements create a very unique story.
Maren has always dreamed of leaving her little village. To go and experience what else is out there but with so many unknown dangers and with her sister ill with a mystical illness Maren has no choice but to stay.
When the village is attacked, the villagers run to the Caverns to protect themselves, however Maren and another prisoner Kane are left outside.
Could this be the adventure that Maren had always wanted?
When Kane asked Maren to help him find something he’s missing she is a bit reluctant at first. I mean she doesn’t know him, can he even be trusted?
When Kane offers to take her to a magical plant which will cure her sister in return for her help Maren knows she has to just go for her sisters sake.
What follows is an adventure as these strangers work together to get what they both want. But the question is can Kane be trusted or did he make this magical plant up just to get Maren’s help? Also will the chance of adventure and a way of leaving her village be as amazing as Maren imagined or will she wish she was back and save in her little secure village surrounded with other people she has known all her life. And when secrets about Maren start to come to light it seems impossible to believe. How can she, a simple healer but the one person to save the mainlands? That’s surely not right, is it?

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is an author that I have enjoyed reading from the first book I picked up by her. I enjoy her writing skills and her ability to pull me into her stories with ease. This book is no different. This is a young adult story about Cecily and how she believes she has it all. A new job, Andrew and working with charities but now the spotlight is on her and some are just waiting to watch her fall. What happens with Cecily you don’t want to miss. I enjoy her character and what she brings to the story. She is a strong character that has determination and just wants to be happy. There is great growth with her and the plot which made the story easy and entertaining to read. I found this story to be fast paced and hard to put down. It is a great story that I highly recommend.

I thought this book had everything needed to be a good read. There was the long lost sibling no one knew about, the will that showed the property should
Be spilt between the siblings
Including the new one they didn’t even know about. The unexpected attraction between Rowan and Chris. Lots of suspense!!!
I thought this book was perfectly written. Rowan is such a strong character but with Chris by her side to protect her and help her, she is unstoppable. At first Chris seemed to want to get in, see the facts and then get out but he vowed to stay and help and he did just that.

Unexpected Entanglement (The Echo Series, #3)Unexpected Entanglement by C.R. Alam
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is another excellent addition to this series, that can be read as a stand alone, but I doubt that you will want to once you get started.

When Rowan and her brother Kieran lose their father and learn of a half-sister all at the same time, they are not sure what to think or do. Rowan and her father were working on restoring their family inn, located in Vinalhaven, Maine, to its former glory, when her dad unexpectedly has a heart attack and passes away, leaving Rowan with a final message to find her sister, Rae. As Rowan and Kieran try to finish the work they had already started on the inn, as well as the farm attached to the inn, they try to find Rae, as the three siblings have been given the property to run together, and they all three have to be a part of it. Rae, however, is unable or unwilling to just suddenly become a part of what is going on, so her friend Chris decides to go check things out for her first. Rae is a well known travel blogger and her husband is part of a popular band, and they are worried that the siblings only want to find them for their investment abilities. Chris Sullens shows up without warning, but does explain to the siblings why he is there. Chris’ family owns a large, well known hotel chain, and Chris, himself, owns and runs a smaller hotel chain of destination based hotels. Chris is able to help Rowan to formulate more ideas of how to help her family’s inn come back, while getting it back up and running for a family wedding. When the pair unexpectedly find themselves to be fake engaged, in an effort to ward of unwanted advances of a suitor for Rowan and unwanted criticism from town elders who think they have the right to run the island and view it as theirs to control, the pair discover that they are good together – in more ways than one.

Three Women in November by Jim Shomos – Review by Angela Hayes

Three Women in NovemberThree Women in November by Jim Shomos
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

 

4 Stars

 

Three Women in November by Jim Shomos is an entertaining read full of all the clever touches I have come to expect from this fabulous author. That it’s based on a true story gives it an extra element of interest for me.
Full of emotion, this story gives us a window into modern romantic Leo’s quest for love and the three strong, independent, and high achieving women that he connects with. With plenty of challenges, angst, highs and lows, chemistry, choices, humour, and drama- while being told from a male perspective, really gave it complexity and ‘character’, and made for a lovely and engrossing read.
Looking forward to exploring more of Mr. Shomos work.
Happy Reading!

Thank you, Jim Shomos!

I have read a few books from this author and she always blows my mind with her stories. This is the third book of the very addictive The Echo series. This book could be read as a standalone but there are previous characters in this book as well. I was so excited when I got this book I started it right away. I could not put it down until the end. I can’t wait to see what this author will write next.

Rowan Kelly found out that she inherited an inn for a relative. She is only concentrating on her cousin to have the best wedding ever. Rowan knows that the inn needs some work so she is happy to do just that. She is busy cleaning this inn when a handsome stranger offers to help her. Rowan doesn’t want a man’s help but she feels something she never felt before. Will Rowan give her cousin a beautiful wedding or will it all be destroyed?

Savage Truth (Hidden Valley Elite Book 2) by Isla Vaughn – Review by Rosanna Ingram

Savage Truth: A High School Bully Romance (Hidden Valley Elite Book 2)Savage Truth: A High School Bully Romance by Isla Vaughn
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This story is the conclusion of Cole and Riley’s story. It picks up right where Savage Lies left off. While you can read it as a standalone…I highly recommend reading the prequel and first book before diving into this one.

We are thrown right back into the drama of Cole and Riley’s story…full of drama, lies, family secrets…and a very thin line between love and hate that is constantly being crossed. We find out that there is so much more going on behind the scenes than anyone could have imagined. There are also many questions that are answered, including: why are they always running?What will happen if Riley’s dad finds them? And, does Riley have a chance at remaining in Hidden Valley for a while?

This is one of those series that I don’t want to give anything away. These two have quite the tangled relationship that has forces from all around them pulling them apart (including themselves). I devoured the book in one sitting because I wanted to know what happened after the cliffhanger of the last book. I highly recommend this series if you are into the bully romance genre with a huge helping of family drama and secrets! I am already looking forward to Damon’s book next!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

After the cliffhanger of Savage Lies, I had to read the next book in the series. In this book, you continue to feel the push and pull of the attraction between Cole and Riley. They continue their love/hate, fire, and feisty games. Yet, Cole is still hell-bent on getting Riley and her mother out of his family life. But also Riley is hidden from her horrible father, and that is proving to be quite a dangerous game. The man is out for blood and he will stop at nothing to get it! This book is a super fast pace page-turner with all kinds of twists coming in hot as there are a ton of dirty little secrets. I can’t wait to see what else this author comes out with.

Olivia has had her share of heart break. Garrett left his one true love behind, to follow his musical managing career, and his up and coming band. Now, while both of them fight the second chance for romance. There are still heartbreak feelings. Can the two people work through their delima? Is romance salvageable for them? This was a fast paced romance. It will open many emotions and leave you wanting to read more of this series. This story is a stand-alone but, reading the series only opens your feelings and those we try to avoid. This author is no longer new to me. Her love for rock music is what makes this story fun and easy to follow. I enjoyed reading this story and will be going back to read the others.

Cassandra first saw Chandler as a little girl and he left a lasting impression on her so now the little girl has blossomed into a beautiful woman and is auditioning to train at their school…. Her audition leaves Chandler all hot and bothered ….

Chandler has issues of his own and his dad and grandfather seem to haunt him and his recent ex wife is a pain in the rear 😬but his attraction to Cassandra is undeniable and it’s from born doses , they’re both fighting the inevitable though ….

Cassandra is also running from her uncle , her very dangerous uncle , the very same one she helped put behind bars ….she’s also no stranger to loss having lost both her magician parents in a devastating fire

I think the best way to describe this book is artistic with hints of mystery , suspense , romance and sensuality, the ending nearly killed me but I would read this again just to be all bound and wound up 😉

Man oh man!! What a great series so far!! I read the prequel to Riley and Cole’s story (books 1 and 2) first and then followed up with books 1 and 2. Although reading the prequel isn’t needed, it does give a little extra to their story that I am personally glad that I read. I can’t wait to read the rest of the Hidden Valley Elite series!! In book 2 SO, SO much happens! This book sucks you in so quick! I read it in two days because I just couldn’t put it down. Cole hates Riley and her mother. He blames her family for the destruction of his family. If it weren’t for them he’d still have his mom. Riley hates Cole. He’s been freezing her out ever since she came into town. She can’t date anyone, she can’t have friends, and everyone is mean to her. He might want her and her him, but they enemies. Living with each other doesn’t help! But their parents (his dad and her mom) want to get married and they swear everything will be okay, safe, and different. Some secrets are deadly though, and she will do everything she can to keep her secrets away from him! He’s hot on her trail though and she must get away. Their game of cat and mouse will put lives in danger if their not careful and what high schooler is careful? When Riley’s father comes into town, their lives get turned upside down. Again. Will they set aside their differences before someone is killed? Will all their secrets catch up to them? That first kiss seared into them both and now the chips are falling all around. You have to read this series!! It will keep you on your toes and hooked until the very end! Then you will be racing to get the next book and the next after that!

Afflicted Love (Rhythm & Heart Series) by Autumn Sand

Afflicted Love is the first book in Rhythm & Heart Series . This is a Dark Contemporary MM Romance that will pull you in from the beginning and doesn’t let go till the end. I will warn you there is a trigger warning and I recommend reading with caution as there are parts that are hard to read but if you push through it will be worth it. This author is one of my go to authors especially if I’m needing to loose myself for a couple hours in a book. Kyle and Lyle both have dark pasts but the also have some serious chemistry between them. These two had my emotions all over the place and had me on the edge of my seat at times holding my breath waiting to see how it was going to play out. This authors style of writing and attention to detail along with her raw, yet real developed characters make for a epic story that will leave you hanging at the end. I highly recommend reading this book to find out what happens next. I don’t want to spill to much about this story. I’m patiently waiting for the next book in this series. I look forward to reading many more books by this author.

This was my first time reading a book by this author, and it was good! It was a little confusing at first, the world building. But I loved being immersed in a different world, a different culture. I loved the characters and the wild journey. There is some humor in the book, and it does fade to black. It is a shorter story but it doesn’t feel rushed.

I love me a good MC story and the protective alpha men the WAR BROTHERS MC drew me in. Reaper is the first book in the series, and it is a good start. I wish the story was longer. It is a short read, but I wanted more.
It’s nice to see another Australian author coming into their own. This is the first book I have read by Bianca, and I am ready to dive in to the second book in this series as I fell in love with these men. Hell, I know these men.
Reaper the pres of the War Brother’s MC is loving Ava from afar, from the moment she needed his protection she became his but their lives are complicated. Reaper and Ava’s story is an emotional one. Their romance is a slow burn, and I would have liked it to be a bit rawer and grittier with more steam and more hotness.
I have is that I also felt like we missed out on so much more of Elena and Axle’s story.
I loved the brothers of the MC their comradery, the respect, the love and humorous side of them. They cracked me up as much as they melted my heart.
I am now off to read the second book. I can’t wait to see where Bianca takes these bikers and their stories.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

3.5 stars
Cecily in the City by Krysten Lindsay Hager is a sweet YA romance that will delight YA readers. It is a quick read with teenage drama and angst, anxiety, jealousy and deep-seated insecurities and misunderstandings. As I said before Krysten is known for her YA romances and it is what she does best.
The story is well written and flows well that will keep her younger readers engaged.
Cecily has two passions than man she loves and acting. Unfortunately, she learns that it is a cutthroat business and the lies, the images and innuendos will either break you or make you. Trying to deal with the fame and dating someone famous maybe harder than she ever imagined. Once again jealousy and uncertainties make for a precarious relationship.
You shouldn’t believe everything you read in this business.
Mind games others play when they don’t get what they want are a dangerous road to traverse. There are characters that you can’t help but like and then there are those who you want to take down a peg or two.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is the second book I have read by the incredible mind that is Sinister Styx. You can read the synopsis a hundred times but until you read the first page and dive deeper into their world you never know what you’re going to find. Something I didn’t expect was to connect so much with Rene, having suffered the loss of my Irish twin in June 2020. So, I felt myself connecting deeply to him and understanding his grief and drive to bring justice for his sister’s murder. Told from two perspectives, Belladonna Shade, and Rene Corbin.
Belladonna has been hiding for her survival in the woods, becoming content with the existence and plotting revenge schemes in her mind. Never imagining she would get a chance to follow through to have her own Thrall to help her get the justice her people deserve against the Hunters. Rene has grieved for three long years, only finding a distraction from his self-destructive ways three days ago at the latest crime scene. His twin sister Cerise and now three other women have become victims to an unknown killer. The interesting little twists and turns are one of the most captivating parts of this author’s work. Just when you think you know what to expect a little twist is thrown in deepening the plot and fleshing out the story more. Each discovery seamlessly leads to more questions with some answers in between. Belladonna and Rene become entranced with each other. She spent decades hiding without worry but since meeting him she’s lost count of the number of times she has left the woods to follow him, until she finally commits and makes him hers.
Will they find the killer in time before they claim another victim? After all this time, can Belladonna finally get her people some justice? Does Rene truly mean more to her than a means to an end? The worlds the author can create in such a quick read is a true talent. More so the depth of the characters truly pulls you in with their claws holding on to you until the last word. I can’t wait to read more of the amazing books by this author, don’t think it’s possible to get enough.

My rating: 3 of 5 stars

There was a lot love about this story but I did have some things that bothered me.

I love a second chance romance, and the overall story was great. Riley is a private investigator who has a good time in the romance department because she spends her days busting cheating spouses. Tristan is a firefighter with a psycho ex that is causing allot of issues in his life. Together they find an unbeatable love to overcome all.

My only issues come with the timeline and development of the characters. The self work that each man character needed to with through was rushed. If this story was a tad longer with more main character work it would have been a way 5 star!

If you are looking for a super cute, steamy quick read, this will totally sooo the trick.

Unexpected Entanglement by C.R. Alam is available now in eBook and Physical Book
⭐️⭐️⭐⭐⭐ Book Review

Unexpected Entanglement is the third installment of the Echo series. C.R. Alam loves to write heartfelt and steamy love stories that feature characters her readers would root for. Unexpected Entanglement is the story of Rowan and Chris. It is most definitely heartfelt and steamy. And Rowan and Chris are both lovable, relatable, and the type of characters you just can’t get enough of. Alam writes with such emotion the readers feel as if they are alongside the characters on an adventure. The detail in her descriptions allow the reader to feel the heat on their face, feel the flutter in their heart when someone special walks in the room, and smell the scents of all the great food. Some of the characters from previous books return but there are many new characters throughout that bring me to believe there could be a fourth installment to The Echo Series. C.R. Alam has quickly become one of my favorite, go-to authors and I would recommend her books to ANYONE who will stop and listen to me rant and rave about my most recent reads. I will shout it from the rooftop: This is a MUST READ! You won’t want to miss this one. And if you haven’t read the other installments in this series, you won’t want to miss out. Promise!

It was such a great read and so refreshing to read something a little bit different. The authors attention to detail made it feel like I was right there watching these characters, she made it so easy to imagine exactly what was happening in the story. I loved the forbidden side of the story and also the twists with how the characters’ lives were intertwined. The suspense that ran through the story kept me turning the pages to find out what was going to happen next. I am really excited to see where the author takes this story in book 2!

Cecily in the City (The Cecily Taylor Series Book 3) by Krysten Lindsay Hager – Review by Katie Matthews

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I enjoyed the third book in this series, it was a quick easy read and had a good storyline. I still really like the character Cecily and think that she could be quite relatable for the young adult audience that is the target reader group for this book. The characters were really well written and I could really feel some of the anxieties that Cecily in particularly went through. I think having followed Cecily’s story through the first two books I really feel like I’ve been on this journey with her. I am looking forward to seeing what happens next for Cecily in book 4!
