This book is about Baz Cormac, a rogue who wasn’t wanting to be a rogue but was rather forced into by Goddess Morrigan. I absolutely love this series. It’s full of action and romance which I truly didn’t think I would like (the romance of it). There are multiple POVs throughout the series and each book has at least two main characters. Baz and Delaney are the two main characters in this book, I really feel connected to the two of them as they tell their story. Delaney is a warrior-talisman hybrid who is looking for her warrior sort of. Is Baz and Delaney meant to be, you need to read this book to find out?

This is the 6th book of the Talisman series. Each book can be read as a stand alone but it is more understandable if you at least read the first book in the series. Each book is about a different warrior and talisman, making it easy to follow along. The author does a wonderful job creating these Celtic characters. Each with their own story and personality. What I like is how the author is able to tell a different love story within the same universe. It’s not all love at first sight. Sometimes they have to work for what is theirs which makes the story much more believable. I love this series and will be reading more.
The Morrigan put a curse on all the warriors. Find your talisman by your 28th birthday or you belong to her. In the first book, the warriors break the curse extending the time given to find your talisman. Baz Cormac thinks the curse being lifted is a myth. His 28th birthday came and he had a choice; death, go into hiding for the rest of his life or join Morgan’s army and become a rogue. Baz chose to fight for Morgan.
Years go by and Baz has given up finding his talisman completely. Until he meets a feisty woman who isn’t afraid to go head to toe with him.
Delaney has accepted her fate as a warrior spinster. Her 28th birthday came and went without finding her warrior. She starts dating a warrior who lost his talisman. When her boyfriend gets taken by Morgan, Delaney goes to his place to investigate when she is surprised by a rogue on the property. Years prior, her uncle became a rogue, dishonouring his family so they quickly disowned him. Since then, Delaney hates all rogues.
When the pair find out they are fated mates, they are shocked. Baz realized that Morgan has been lying to him for years, He wants to devise a plan to take her down and rejoin the warrior community with Delaney’s help. She can’t get past the fact that he is a rogue, let alone trust him.
They have a long road ahead of them. Will they be strong enough to make it?

Flynn once a pro tennis player is now a successful author and motivational speaker who has always been on her own. The only thing she has really given up on was tennis. When tennis didn’t work out Flynn turned to write about her life. When she has a run-in with a smooth-talking playboy her life just might turn her life upside down. Chavez Delgado is a pro tennis player with reckless anger issues. Chavez is at the top of his game when he must put his family first and put down the racket. At a by-chance meeting, they run into each other in their therapist’s office and set something in motion that neither can explain. Something that neither of them could imagine. This is the second book I have read by this author and just like the first, she did not disappoint with this second book. I can’t wait to see what else this author releases.

This is another great book to add to this series, and yet another from this author. I am really enjoying this spin off series and the change of pace it brings. The characters are have a great chemistry, made even stronger by their history. I connected with them instantly and wanted to read more. The book was fast paced and action packed yet well thought through. I love the dynamics that the author brings to her books and this is just another example of why. I am already looking forward to the next book.

Baz Cormac is a rogue warrior, but this is not by choice, it is because he turned 28 before he found his talisman and had to pledge his loyalty to the Goddess, the Morrigan, so for the last three years, he has had freedom from a warriors restrictions, but also the necessity of taking the lives of warriors within that community, who happened to cross swords with him on the battlefield which the Morrigan orchestrates, he has also been gathering, training and leading a group of other rogues at the same time, whom he is planning to disrupt the Goddesses plans.
Delaney Ferrell is a young woman who has given up on finding her warrior and instead thrown herself into warrior training and her business instead, she is strong, fast and relentless with her training and everything else she puts her mind to, so when she receives a mysterious note which concurs with some rumours of rogues in the area she lives in, she decides to go and check it out as she already knows the area and will be able to tell if something is off there.
When Baz senses that there is a warrior nearby, he prepares himself for a confrontation, however, when he discovers that it is a female whom he has sensed, he is understandable reticent, but Delaney has no such weaknesses when it comes to a scrap with a rogue, this is what she has trained for and she knows that she has to put him down, so the fight for dominance between the two begins, but Baz is soon to discover that this woman is more than just easy on the eyes, she is a fiercely determined fighter.
As he makes the split second decision to kidnap instead of kill Delaney, he takes her to his lair and makes sure she cannot leave until he can figure out why he is so damn attracted to her, so in a desperate and instinctive act, he tries his sign on her and much to his astonishment it works and this is where he realises that Delaney is his fated mate and this throws his plans into complete disarray. When Delaney feels the reaction of her body to Baz and he explains why, she cannot accept the fact that she is the talisman of a rogue, especially since her Uncle decided to be one and brought shame upon her family, but will she be able to accept her fate and give love a chance, or will the Goddesses tear them apart before anything can truly begin? This is a fantasy adventure which is a balancing act, on a tightrope between good and evil, where one life altering decision has to be made before time and a Goddesses patience run out in this fated mates romance where secrets, lies, truths and revelations are all that stands between the darkness and the light and the answer to the question of which is the stronger side?

Baz used to be a warrior but when he turned 28 without finding his talisman, he chose to become a rogue. He couldn’t bear the thought of living in hiding trying to stay alive, so he chose to fight and find other rogues like him who still had some sense of honor left. Unbeknownst to him, his talisman can still be found and is very much in the area. Delaney Ferrell comes barging into his life when she finds a rogue (him) checking out her truck. She doesn’t take kindly to him being near her, her truck, or finding out that she is his talisman. As they work together to figure out how a rogue can still find his talisman even after their window of opportunity is missed, they find themselves stuck between the warriors and the rogues. Can they find a compromise to make it work? Or will they be doomed to be outcasts of both?
This series intrigued me from the beginning. It was fun reading about a rogue and what they might be going through in regard to how they feel when they don’t really have a choice about their future. Since the warriors are always fighting against them, it was good to see how they might feel when confronted with someone that they trained with that felt they had to pick the other side. Delaney is a strong female character that wasn’t afraid to hang with the boys or duke it out. All in all, it was a quick read. Definitely an adult read as the bonding is graphic.

Rogue (The Talisman Series) by Tam DeRudder Jackson 4 Stars
Although this book is part of a series, it can be read as a stand-alone. This story centres on Baz Cormac and Delaney Ferrell. As a warrior, Baz had to find his talisman by the time he turned twenty eight. Unfortunately for him, he didn’t and had to make a tough decision. Either go into hiding or turn rogue. Hiding and trying to survive wasn’t him so he turned rogue and fought for the war goddess Morrigan. He hated it but made the best of it. When rumours spread that the curse had been lifted, he didn’t want to believe that he had another chance. Delaney was almost thirty and still hadn’t found her warrior. Presuming he died, it can as a complete surprise when she found him. When a chance encounter unites these two, both are thrown for a loop. Will Baz be accepted into the warrior community again? Can Delaney overcome the shock of being mated to a rogue?
The story is well written and I love that the series incorporates celtic mythology. The chemistry is off the charts and there is some really good action scenes. My only issue was the repetitive indecision that Baz had over which side to stay on, warrior or rogue.

Rogue follows the story of Baz, a warrior who has been forced to turn rogue. The choice was not one that he wanted to make but it was either pledge himself to the evil Morrigan or go into hiding. Baz made the best choice he could under the circumstances and has had to live with that decision for the last few years. He does not like working for the war goddess Morrigan but completes all the missions she gives him while his real goal is to start a class of Celtic fighters.
Delaney is a warrior-talisman hybrid who acts as protector to save her warrior community. Her whole life has been spent trying to live down the choice her uncle made to go rogue. When a cryptic message leads her to an abandoned home she comes face-to-face with a lone rogue. Rather than kill her he takes her to his lair where their attraction and emotions threaten to ruin both of their missions.
Delaney knows that this lone rogue is a danger to her community and as their protector it is up to her to neutralize the threat. So why is she finding it so difficult to do? Baz discovers that Delaney is his mate, his talisman, and struggles to come to terms with that. Will they realize their love for one another or does fate have other plans for them? Will they be able to look past who they are to outside forces and get to know who they really are?
This book was action packed and full of intense situations for Baz and Delaney. Although unlikely mates they have an undeniable chemistry between them which makes the storyline interesting. Baz might be a rogue might it was not his choice. After having a rough life, he did what he had to do. Delaney is trained as a warrior and protects those around her. Both Baz and Delaney have been brought up in situations where they had to learn to be strong and fight to survive. A great paranormal romance full of action, magic, suspense, danger, and the battle of good versus evil.

Suspicions is the fifth book in the Notebook Mysteries series. It’s a great series of historical mysteries, set in the late 19th Century. I would recommend reading the series from the start – it jumps straight into the action (quite literally – the first word is Emma being hit over the head) so you’ll need the earlier books to get to know the characters and past cases they’ve worked on. I love how we see references to the previous cases as people come back to help out, so to enjoy that you’ll need to have read the others first!
By this stage in the series, Emma is confident and has a broad range of skills. She’s had the chance to work on some of her weaker areas, such as using firearms, whilst still preferring to play to her strengths. She still has to face being underestimated, but can find that works to her advantage.
There’s plenty going on in the story, with layers of mystery to unravel. There are a bunch of interwoven threads in a well-paced book that balances tension with moments of safety and warm character moments.
This book gets five stars from me! I’d recommend the series to all fans of historical mysteries.

This is the 3rd book to the Chase Care Series and it did not disappoint!! While this could be read as a standalone, I would still recommend reading this series from the start. If you like drama, action, suspense, emotional roller coaster with twists and turns and romance like I do, I would recommend this read.
Pete Walker and Rowena Anderson knew each other from years past while serving our country in the Air Force but it was left between them some feeling of turmoil. Pete is a physician’s assistant and clinical director of Chase Care while Rowena is an ER Doctor at Guardian Hospital in Montana.
Pete is on a mission to save a mother and child due to a kidnapping but things do not go as planned. When emergency care is needed, Pete ends up at Guardian Hospital….where he runs into Rowena…when lives are at stake and a blizzard hits hard in the Montana area, will Rowena and Pete be able to keep patients alive and possibly the sizzle and chemistry back that was there years ago? Will buried secrets come out to play?
This is such a good read, hard to put down and I am looking forward to the book 4!

Dunn – Review by Lorralei Hoerner
This romantic medical thriller had plenty of drama and suspense which kept me gripped throughout. Pete Walter has been an Air Force pararescue jumper who is used to leaping into hostile territory, he’s also been a physician assistant and is now Clinical Facility Director for Chase Care. When he’s called on to help rescue a kidnapped mother and daughter he doesn’t hesitate. Meanwhile, Dr. Rowena Andersen returned to her family’s ranch in Montana with her two children after her divorce. She now works as an ER doctor at Guardian Hospital, and the rural location on the outskirts of an American Indian Reservation means she can keep her whereabouts secret. During a severe blizzard Pete and Rowena’s present and pasts collide, and their chemistry is just as sizzling as it ever was. Rowena soon learns that secrets are not easy to keep, but being older and wiser Pete is now more willing to sacrifice. As they begin a roller coaster of a relationship, they also need a miracle to survive. This was an exciting read, the storyline flowed well and the plot kept me hooked from start to finish. The setting and characters were brought vividly to life by the descriptive narrative, and the chemistry between the main characters really came across in the writing. It can be read as a standalone story or as part of the series.

The Sweet Temptations Trilogy Boxset by L.M. Mountford contains three short but steamy stories. This box set contains forbidden liaisons, steamy encounters, secrets, and temptation. I flew through this box set and could not put it down. I loved my experience between the covers of this book.
The Box Set contains:
-The Babysitter: A Forbidden Age Gap Romance (Sweet Temptations #1) We meet Richard who finds himself tempted by the young babysitter. She has a huge crush on him too but will it lead to anything?
-The Boss’s Daughter: An Enemies-to-Lovers Romance (Sweet Temptations #2) We meet Richard again this time tempted by his boss’s daughter, where will this temptation lead?
-Ménage à Trois – An Age Gap MFF Romance (Sweet Temptations #3) This book follows Richard again this time taking his temptation one step further!
This book is amazing. It is packed with action and suspense. I could not put it down. The author did a great job with making the characters enjoyable. I will definitely be reading the rest of this series. I highly recommend this book for anyone looking for a captivating book.

This is an author that I have enjoyed reading from the first book. I never hesitate to pick up one of this author’s books. This is the second book in this series which I highly suggest reading the first book as well to help your enjoyment of this series and author. It is always great to see where the characters come from to where they are now. I enjoyed reading this book just as much as the first one, maybe even more. I found this book to be fast paced and full of romance and action. It is hard to put down as it is that engaging. A well written story where Jace and Cyrus are faced with a race against time and a choice to save themselves or their souls. They are great connectable characters that are my favorite. I enjoyed what they brought to the story and their chemistry is great together. They pulled me into their world and had me coming back for more. This is an easy and entertaining story to read and one you don’t want to miss. I highly recommend this book and this author.
I absolutely love the Celtic mythology in this series. Delaney and Baz’s story is so intriguing. She is a Talisman but she is also a warrior. Baz was 3 years past his 28th birthday so he became a rogue. When these 2 find each other and realize that she is his talisman, things get really interesting. Will he choose to stay a rogue or will he choose to become a warrior again? His choice will affect not only himself and Delaney but all rogues.

I have followed this story from the beginning. Fascinating retelling of Romeo/Juliet in a different way. Watchers & Messengers at war but Cyrus and Jace will fight through it all. Exciting storyline. There’s steamy romance for those that like it. I found the storyline better to stick with and just skipped those parts. This author makes you feel like you are right in the battle. It truly is good and evil. The characters are so relatable. When Cyrus feeds the demon child on Sheole Street and is arrested, you just want to yell “travesty!” It has been a wondeful duet. Do read the first one first. it will make this one even better. You might also enjoy Emissary, a prequel to this duet.
An enjoyable and engaging small town best friends to lovers romance which had me hooked from page one. Abby is turning forty and she can hear her biological clock ticking, as she’s always wanted to be a mother, but never found Mr Right. Successful cafe owner Abby lives in the small town of Beaumont Creek, where everyone knows everyone’s business and gossip spreads quickly. Unfortunately Abby’s mother is very controlling and judgmental, and by trying to set her daughter up with any new bachelors in town she helps keep the gossip alive surrounding Abby’s love life, or lack of it. Nate is Abby’s best friend and is willing to do anything to make her happy, even offering to be the father of her baby! They agree to spend one night together and see if she becomes pregnant. However, after one very passionate and steamy night, lines definitely become blurred between friendship and lovers and miscommunications and misunderstandings may jeopardise their future relationship. This is a heartwarming romance, with relatable and likeable characters, and I particularly liked having slightly older main characters. The chemistry between Abby and Nate really came across in the narrative and the small town setting was brought to life. I felt immersed in the storyline and invested in the characters, and I look forward to returning to Beaumont Creek!

This is the third book in this series but it can be read and fully enjoyed weather you have read the first two books or not.

4 Stars Dawnbreaker: The House of Blood and Sun by Hadley Thorne
Dawnbreaker: The House of Blood and Sun is a wonderfully written Paranormal Urban Fantasy Romance that I freaking devoured in one sitting. This is a fairly new author to me and I’m definitely a fan. Their style of writing pulls you in from the beginning and the characters are fully developed and bring the story to life. Connor only cares about one thing and it’s revenge for the one who stole his humanity. Niamh is the sole heir to Emerald City Under the Mound she’s locked away during the day and playing her fiddle at night. Its all about to change once she meets Connor. Will these two figure out a way to make it work? Or is it not meant to be? I highly recommend reading this book to find out what happens next. I can’t wait to read more from this Author.

Pete Walter is part of Chase Security and Care, when he is woken up to a call for a rescue mission he is up at the plane. Walking through the plan he will need to implement as the medical director in order to keep the men and there recuses safe, but when it is revealed he will in the area of Rowena Andersen , the woman who has been a part of his heart from the day they met and time they spent together.
Rowena returned back to her home town to be the local doctor in the hospital, although she is divorced and with two children to support she tries not to remember the time in the army and a particular man who stole her heart and that the regrets eat away at her daily with the secret she has kept for so long, but when a blizzard threatens the hospital and a emergency arrival, can she trust herself when her past arrives in the present and can she hope for a future?
This book is the third in the series and can be read as a stand alone story, although to be really honest who would as this series is brilliant. I loved this story and the way that Pete and Rowena finally found each other after all this time. The chemistry between them is off the page and them getting to rekindle the friendship and love is lovely to read.
The story is fast paced and is full of twist and turns with drama added in for good measure,. The characters are rich and well developed which enhances the story as you read the struggles of both characters. The only downfall I have is there is a lot of medical jargon and although this did not detract from the story it did feel quite heavy in certain parts of the story. I loved the way the author added the myths and legends of the area into the story and this just added an extra layer to the whole mystery of the novel.
I definitely can’t wait to read the next instalment in this series.

4 stars Messenger certainly twists things up as for a Romeo and Juliet retelling. This forbidden love tale is a MM love story set in the stars. It is the second book and another wonderful paranormal story in the Star-Crossed Celestials books. This sweet and steamy contemporary romance tale also has fantasy elements. Make sure you read the first book Watcher first. It is full of hurt and fear, forbidden love and drama, action and tension, hope and redemption, sorrow and longing. Messenger is bit of an emotional read and it is so easy to love these celestial beings Jace and Cyrus and feel for them. It’s a bit of a tougher journey for them this time. Cyrus will not stop until he finds what was stolen from him. Jace has lost all he ever wanted. Now he doesn’t want to go on without him. All hell is about to be unleashed. Will they be able to find their way back to each other? Will they break their promise to each other to save a City or will they lose forever? If you’re a fan of sexy fairy-tale retellings with a twist, then you will love this one as much as the first book.
Abby and Nate have been best friends for as long as they can remember. Now that she has turned 40 Abby is desperate for a child and she and her sister have an idea of who the father should be. what is just one time anyway? This book is very well written and so easy to read. You will get drawn in and won’t be able to put it down. I love Abby and Nate and can’t wait to see what the author has lined up for book 2.

Follow your heart, even if it takes you all the way to Las Vegas.
For precisely $102 dollars, Mitch Benson and Lauren Templeton marry in a 15-minute ceremony inside a little Las Vegas chapel. Soulmates since elementary school, nothing makes more sense than eloping to Sin City for a secret wedding.
But seven years later, the brilliant glare from the city of lights has faded.
Scratch that. The bulbs are burnt out.
In fact, the wiring may have been faulty all along.
Bitterly accepting that their marriage is coming to an end, Mitch and Lauren stray further and further from the love that once blossomed on the playground of their youth.
Lauren sells her soul to Pier Ninety-Two, her once-fabulous restaurant in downtown Los Angeles now a sad shadow in the Saturday night party scene. And Mitch falls into the arms—er, legs—of none other than childhood enemy, Tess Browning.
Devastated by the direction their love has spiraled, Mitch and Lauren make one last trip to the city of second chances, hoping to turn their pennies into the million-dollar love they once shared.
Will their last roll be a miracle—or a mirage—in the desert?

When a simple favor turns into an unexpected entanglement.
Rowan Kelly has one goal for the next two weeks: throw the most beautiful wedding for her cousin. So what if the inn she inherited isn’t quite ready or staffed? She’s resourceful and scrappy enough to make it happen all by herself. She doesn’t need some nosy, charming stranger with smiles that both irritate her and make her woman’s bits tingle to swoop in to save the day.
World-renowned hotelier Chris Sullens only planned on spending twenty-four hours in Vinalhaven. So why the hell did he offer to help the fiery gorgeous innkeeper plan a wedding? He tries to keep things professional, but his self-control has its limits, especially when he suddenly has to play the role of the stubborn woman’s doting fiance.
As strange occurrences threaten the wedding, the inn’s future, and Rowan’s safety, can they work together to keep things from blowing up in their faces? Or will their unbridled passion entangle them into something more than they bargained for?

Nothing has been the same for Messenger angel Cyrus since Jace was exiled from the celestial community. Night after night, he searches Sin City for the demon who might have the answers he needs to find his lost love. But his quest hasn’t gone unnoticed. Dark forces reach Cyrus first, and a brutal encounter with his enemy leaves him at the mercy of the ruthless warrior who once broke his heart.
Believing Cyrus has been killed, Jace returns to Sin City with a death wish and one thought in mind: vengeance. Instead, he finds Cyrus alive and the unsuspecting center of a plot that will change Sin City—for the worse—forever.
Time has never been a friend to Jace and Cyrus, but now the clock is ticking faster than ever. With the fate of the city on the line, they’ll need to choose between saving each other or saving their souls.
Romeo and Juliet gets a celestial spin (and a happy ending!) in this duology featuring forbidden love, mixed-up messages, hurt/comfort, and redemption. Intended for readers ages 18+ and best enjoyed when read in the following order: Watcher (Book 1), Messenger (Book 2).
USA Today bestselling author A.L. Morrow is the (naughtier) alter ego of a young adult novelist. When she isn’t writing clean(ish) YA tales, “A” enjoys dreaming up steamy scenes and spectacular settings—often along with a touch of magic or myth. She believes that love is love and likes reading and writing various genres of romance.
In her downtime (what’s that?), A finds delight in scouring for secondhand designer fashions. She briefly lived in a haunted mansion, once took a flight to visit Scotland for a day, and is prone to meeting minor celebrities in random hotel elevators. She resides in the eastern US.

This book is intense in sexual and steamy chemistry between the characters and the sports element add to the tension. I love how their banter kept the intrigue going and excitement going. Beautiful story!

The Challenger: A Sports Romance Saga (The Hustlers Trilogy Book 2)
I’m so throughly impressed with Ms. Rossler’s writing. There are only two books listed in her catalog, but she writes like a seasoned pro who hasn’t lost her love for what she does. The depth she gives her characters is amazing.
We are getting Flynn’s story and there is no dull moments. From the moment they meet the heat is off the charts. I personally liked the pool scene after the tennis game and needed to put the book down for a minute.
Chavez is young with a temper that is triggered by almost nothing. He finally starts getting help and that is when his life changes.
I cannot wait to read June’s book and any other books in the future.
