Ocean’s Three (Made In Heaven #2) by Elena Kincaid – Review by Tara Johnson Barnes

Ocean's Three (Made In Heaven, #2)Ocean’s Three by Elena Kincaid
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Jocelyn, Cameron, and Reed have a special connection and for years they have been coming to one another talking and getting to know each other through their dreams. Although they all have the ability to see each other in their dreams Cameron has a special gift that allows him to know things before they happen. When Cameron has nightmares about the death of Jocelyn’s mother he keeps it to himself and becomes riddled with guilt when her mom dies. He feels that he should have been able to prevent it and protect Jocelyn from such a horrific loss.

After losing her mom Jocelyn is overcome with grief and pushes away Cameron and Reed and convinces herself that they are not real. When she is hired to photograph a wedding on a cruise to the Mediterranean, she cannot believe her eyes. Across the room is Cameron and Reed in the flesh but she is devastated to see them both with other women. Jocelyn flees from them before they can hurt her any farther. Cameron and Reed are not willing to let the woman they love get away from them again so they find Jocelyn and explain that it was all a misunderstanding. The rest of the cruise is filled with love, lust, and passion as the trio get to know one another better. Will their relationship survive in the real world once the cruise ends?

Another interesting story by this author who does not cease to amaze me with her writing on connections through dreams. The characters were wonderful and I enjoyed how the story unfolded between Cameron, Jocelyn, and Reed. Their connection initially started when Jocelyn was a pre-teen and evolved over the years. As they grew older their connection became stronger. They all knew from the first moment they met in their dreams that they loved one another. However, they had to navigate their own feelings and determine how a relationship as a trio would work. This book was filled with love, lust, romance, passion, anguish, revenge, and drama. A great read!

The Silent Road is not what I expected it to be. After the first few chapters I could not put it down. I had to find out what would happen next. The two main characters do compliment each other very well. There are definitely some turns of events I wasn’t expecting to happen. Overall, it is a very fun and exciting read.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Another breathtaking book of this winning series. Book 4 is Will and Maggie’s story and it is a whirlwind of time-travel, suspense, deceit and romance. I found the story so exciting that I just jumped in and didn’t come up for air until I was done. Thank you, Kindle, for the reading app on my phone. I was sucked in and loved it all. The author gives it the authentic feel with the language and descriptions. The personalities of the characters are so well-written and well-done. I had to chuckle at the conversations of the ladies and the men. This was a thoroughly enjoyable story. I’m going to be eagerly awaiting more, I hope. If you like time-travel romance, this whole series is for you. I can’t recommend this enough. Another author on my favorites list.

Ruthless Hawke (The Hawke Family Second Generation Book 1) by Gwyn McNamee – Review by Moriah Venable

Ruthless Hawke (The Hawke Family Second Generation Book 1)Ruthless Hawke by Gwyn McNamee
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I absolutely loved the Hawke Family series by this author. When I saw there was a spin-off, I quickly got to reading.

This novel picks up 5 years after the events of Night Hawke. Isaac and Jack still think about the time they spent together and although Isaac tried to find her after, he was unsuccessful. Fate brings the two back together with secrets and identities now revealed.

While I did not read the prequel to this, I did not feel lost while reading. Reading Night Hawke would have given more character depth and background for the characters, making this more impactful but I enjoyed the story and romance overall. I do plan on reading it.

It did take me some time to associate the name Jack with our female heroine because I am used to it being used for male characters, but once I did, I found that I really liked the character and started associating her with the phrase ‘a Jack of all trades’ which I think kinda fits.

The author has a way of using suspense to grip you where you can’t put the book down which is another really why I love her so much. She quickly started to become one of my favorite authors. I may need to binge read some of her other novels while I wait for the next book in this series.

Your Trainer Says Hi! (Vengeful Vixens Book 2) by Indie Sparks – Review by Angelina. Frazzini

Your Trainer Says Hi!Your Trainer Says Hi! by Indie Sparks
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This book is book two of the series. It can be read as a standalone but there are some crossover characters so if you want to understand who’s who, read book one first. Both are good so you won’t be mad.

Nadine is doing well! She’s got her juice bar, her job, and her best friend. Everything is great! Until she receives a phone call that sends everything into a tailspin. Now, she has to confront soon to be EX boyfriend, Heath, and figure out how to keep the juice bar afloat. As payback, or to start, Nadine is stealing Heath’s personal trainer. She is sure Wick is not her type so she’s just going to get a couple months of sessions as reimbursement. That is until she finds herself in his hot tub and it all changes from there. Wick is honestly just what Nadine needs. Someone to be nice to her but also not so nice (when it counts).

Wick wasn’t at all what I was expecting but man is he everything! He was surprisingly nice (and that was important to him) but super alpha which is great! Nadine is strong and independent. She has a hard time letting Wick be nice but she comes around. These two have intense chemistry! This book was so good!

With Fire and Sword (Thunder On The Moor Book 4) by Andrea Matthews
Genre – Historical Romance
Page Count – 340
Cover Designer – Jenny Quinlan at Historical Fiction Book Covers

Will and Maggie are just settling into the twentieth century when a note, discovered hidden in an old diary, turns their new world upside down. The message is from Dylan, and it urges them to return to the past to mend a rent in the fabric of time or risk altering events in both centuries. and not for the better. There are only two problems. First, they no longer have any stone left in the amulet, and second, even if they could somehow locate a new stone, what is it they need to change?

Richie Carnaby may have the answer to that question. Though he’s traveled through time himself, there are events from his sixteenth-century past he can’t recall, things that he should be able to. Could his selective amnesia mean that these occurrences remain unsettled, having turned on a course not set by destiny? But even if they are, what are Will and Maggie to do about it?

Back in the sixteenth century, Dylan is facing his own dilemma. Realizing almost at once that the threads of time have snapped and torn the very fabric itself, he is afraid the only way to mend the rent is to summon Will and Maggie back as soon as possible, but how? The stone has surely disintegrated, and even if a bit does remain, he hesitates to ask them to return and put their lives in jeopardy once again. Unless he does, however, the damage will remain undone, setting events on a course that was never meant to be. Can Will and Maggie find their way back to the sixteenth century and repair the tattered fabric, or will the threads of time continue to unravel throughout the centuries, altering history as they know it.

Master Calabrea (Masters of the Consulate Book 6) by Sylvia Black – Review by Gabrielle

Master Calabrea: Dark Vampire Romance (Masters of the Consulate Book 6)Master Calabrea: Dark Vampire Romance by Sylvia Black
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

As the vampires search for the traitor to their kind, Master Calabrea is paired to work with Tansia; a human. The two share an attraction right from the start but fight hard to ignore it. Soon the two find that not all is what they think. Tansia and Calabrea cannot ignore what is between them forever. When danger comes for Tansia will Master Calabrea be there for her?

This is an interesting story that gives readers another look into the paranormal world that this author has created. Be aware that it is book six in this series and does end on a cliffhanger. I liked that Tansia is a strong woman who can hold her own and she is a good match for Calabarea. The two work hard at what they have and when evil comes to interfere Calabrea must make a choice about his emotions and Tansia. I enjoyed seeing the relationship build between these two as the worked together to defeat the evil that threatens them all. The author does a nice job of mixing the romance and action together giving readers a nice addition to this series.

I have read several Notebook Mysteries books and this one was my favorite. They are all good, well written, thought out cases and good characters. Suspicions was a little more focused. There were 3 cases going on throughout the book but they were organized and tied in together. I love Emma and her bravery and wit, and sense of adventure. Her relationship with Jeremy has matured over the years, and I am happy to see her stick to her own personal morals and feelings. The ending was perfect, wrapped up all the cases and could be a good ending for the series. However, if the author chose to write more, I’d be happy as well. Seeing what Jeremy and Emma do on their next adventure.

This book had me completely captivated right from the very start and proved to be so, so much more than I could have ever predicted. Brooklyn has had such a very cruel past and because of that she avoids real love and relationships then along comes the 4 Knight brothers who are bound so strongly by much more than just blood ever would. They are drawn to Brooklyn and are determined to show her what love can truly do. They will do anything they have to in order to keep her safe when her past comes back to threaten her! This was a creative storyline that had me eagerly turning page after page but what truly had me completely hooked was the amazing characters created by this extremely talented author. They weaved their way into my heart and held on tight! I can’t wait for more! There is so very much I need to know. I don’t just want to know what is going to happen for them all but I NEED to know.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Brooklyn is a tough survivor, raised in the fostor system; got serious with a boyfriend who ended up attempting to kill her. She avoids anything romantic related at this point in her life.
She’s worked hard to become a director of a non profit, and her roommate is going away for a couple months on a work assignment so they go out for the night to a club.
Brooklyn (and let’s be honest also myself) was not prepared for the instant red hot chemistry between her and two of the “club kings”. They make her feel things and she runs… but they aren’t about to let her slip away.
This book had red hot smexy scenes, Romance and action when the past comes calling for Brooklyn once again.
This is an absolute can’t miss book!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Aiden, Gideon, Oliver, Jaxon – The Club Kings Are brothers but not by blood. They grew up together and decided they wanted to be brothers.
One night in one of their clubs Jaxon and Oliver spot Brooklyn dancing and immediately go to the dance floor she is on and dance with her. Things get pretty heated quickly and she flees.
Brooklyn has a past that she can never forget. An ex boyfriend really did a number on her and she still has scars…inside and out to remind her of it.
The club kings show up at Brooklyns job for a meeting about a donation and everyone was surprised to see eachother. Jaxon and Oliver were happier than anyone because now they know who that woman was and how to find her. Brooklyn has no idea who they were and now that she does, she agrees to a dinner with Oliver and Jaxon to talk about the charity event. Aiden “the brains” behind the kings doesn’t trust her and has second thoughts about their donation.
When Brooklyns past comes crashing into her present, the kings vow to keep her safe all while keeping her bed warm.
I thought this book was well written but it was kinda long and wasn’t expecting the book to end the way it did. If I knew it was a cliffhanger, I probably wouldn’t have read it.

Emby’s cousin Tansia has come to Italy to work at Descalia nightclub after a break up that has broken all trust and self confidence. She is a spitfire that takes no guff from anyone. Quite capable of looking after herself. I loved her spunk and attitude.

Tansia’s job offer changes when she gets to Italy, with her agreement to the new job offer, she is sent into danger a human should be terrified of.

Loved this book so much. Excited for the next book to see what happens.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the second book in the Made In Heaven series. These books can be read as a standalone. This book and story was a very emotional and powerful read. I love these stories. I love the paranormal element how they meet in their dreams and eventually find each other. This is also a romance between 2 males and a female.
The author does a great job with the characters and the writing allows the reader to feel the emotions of the characters which makes it a really immersive read.

Cameron and Reed are cousins, Cameron has a special psychic ability but the expands when suddenly a young girl appears in his room and things get even more strange when Reed also appears in the room. As time progresses they realise they are meeting in their dreams. What neither of them expect is for feelings to grow and for them to feel an instant connection to each other.

Over the years things happen in all of their lives which keep them apart but they always find their way back to each other. But it’s only a dream right?

Years later when Jocelyn is on a cruise working her world explodes when she sees her two dream men walking towards her. The connection is instant, all 3 of them feel it. Can a relationship between all 3 of them actually work? Will Jocelyn be forced to choose between the two men? And what happens when the cruise ends and reality hits them? Will they be strong enough to fight for their love against all odds?

This is a steamy read about dreams, finding your soul mate and fighting for a love that is unconventional but very real.

Taming Brooklyn (The Club Kings Series Book 1)Taming Brooklyn by Charlotte St. Pierre
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Brooklyn has a painful past that has left her scarred both mentally and physically. The trauma from her past has kept her from pursuing romance or relationships. She chooses instead to focus on work and on her days off remains close to home. When her roommate Ash asks her to go to an exclusive club with her for a night out Brooklyn is reluctant. However, Ash is insistent because it is her last night in town before heading out of the country for several months for training for her job.

Club 4 is an exclusive club that caters to the elite class, but Ash has been given VIP passes through her work. Brooklyn and Ash make the most of their evening out and Brooklyn finds that she is enjoying herself. While dancing Brooklyn is approached by two very good looking men who she instantly feels attracted to. She allows herself to temporarily get caught up in the moment until panic sets in and she bolts from the club.

To Brooklyn’s total and complete surprise she has not been able to escape that night in Club 4 or the men she ran from. She finds that these two men, Oliver, and Jaxon, along with their two brothers Gideon and Aiden, are some of the faces behind a substantial donation to the charity organization that she works for. Naturally, she is shocked and embarrassed by her behavior at the club while also feeling an intense attraction to the men standing in her office. Allowing herself to let her guard down she accepts a dinner invitation from Oliver and Jaxon. From that point on Brooklyn finds herself falling quickly for both of these men.

When someone from Brooklyn’s past shows up in her life things escalate quickly and she finds her life in danger. Not only do Oliver and Jaxon immediately come to her rescue, against Brooklyn’s wishes, but so does their brother Gideon. When he offers up his services as her personal security she finds herself attracted to him as well. Brooklyn cannot explain the attraction to these men but none seem to be jealous or insecure about her being with the other brothers.

This was an intense and steamy read. The sexual attraction between Brooklyn and the Knight brothers will leave you breathless. Most women would be envious of that type of desire with one man, let alone four of them. This was definitely not your typical love story. Oliver, Jaxon, Gideon, and Aiden were all smitten with Brooklyn and were willing to do anything for her. For them it was more than lust, they clearly cared for Brooklyn and wanted to look after her. When her ex pops up in her life all four brothers jump in to keep her safe. This book had romance, love, lust, passion, violence, danger, and intrigue. It took some twists and turns and ended on a cliff-hanger that is going to drive me crazy until I can read the next book and get some answers. I highly recommend!

Taming Brooklyn (The Club Kings Series Book 1)Taming Brooklyn by Charlotte St. Pierre
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I loved this book! Taming Brooklyn gave the reader so much. Happiness, sadness, pain, suffering, love, friendship, and the beginnings of a polyamorous relationship that looks like it might be spanning a few books. And you know what? I can’t wait! The way the author wrote the main characters, it pulls one in. You get invested, and you can’t help but root for them. There’s some very dark themes throughout, but there’s so much light as well.
Brooklyn is broken, in every sense of the word. Mentally, emotionally, and physically, which has made her into a recluse. But one night out to bid her best friend adieu, changed all that.
Jaxon and Oliver went for it and even though she ran, they knew she was something special. Unfortunately convincing Aiden and Gideon of that would be another topic. What they didn’t expect is she would be the very woman who was running a branch of the nonprofit they wanted to get involved in.
What do the Knight brothers want with Brooklyn?
Will her checkered past come back to haunt her? Could it ruin them? So many questions and this book only answered so many, but it’s okay because it was left open for book two!
The emotional trauma these characters go through doesn’t seem real, but they are all very real scenarios that people can very well relate too. The way the author presents these past stories may put people on edge, but it gives so much to the book that has been written.
The Knight brothers found each other and helped heal each other from their emotional childhood traumas, declaring themselves brothers and changing their names in the process. Will they be able to do that very thing for Brooklyn as they navigate the feelings they share for her?
Will she let them?
I want to keep writing but I know if I do, I’ll start posting spoilers to this book. So at this point all I’ll say is read it. Develop your own feelings and connections to these characters, just like I did.

This was another good vampire romance in the Masters of the Consulate series. This book sort of leaves off where book 5 ended – Isala is trying to overthrow the underworld and kill her sister. They have been hunting her and finally feel they are on her trail. In book 6, things are going down in Master Calabrea’s territory. They do not know who to trust because even their own kind seem to be turning on them. Master Calabrea and Overmaster Descallia are going over plans to keep everything under control. What Master Calabrea didn’t plan on was Tansia, the cousin of Embry, who works for Overmaster Descallia and is with his right-hand man, Lucus. The tension between Calabrea and Tansia is there from the start – he doesn’t want to have to take care of another person, especially a human even though he is physically attracted to her. Tansia, doesn’t want to get involved with the underworld, she just left a bad relationship, and she doesn’t like how Calabrea is eying her up and down. However, Overmaster Descallia groups them together to try and find intel on what is going on. Tansiacomese to find out that she should have powers of sight; she does not believe this to be true because she claims she has no powers. However, it is foretold that her sight and a master will save the underworld. This partnership quickly takes a turn toward romance. Because of the blossoming love, will that help them save the underworld, will she gain the power she needs to win this war, and will being a human get in the way of everything?
I thought this was a good addition to the series. It wasn’t my favorite story in the series, however, but I am glad that answers are finally coming to the forefront. I thought the characters were great. Tansia is a badass woman who is proficient in martial arts, and for a human she can really handle herself in their world. Master Calabrea is a little mysterious and rough around the edges, but completely loveable. The banter at the beginning that they have gives great build up. While I love that this book, and many of the others in the series, moves quickly along, the love story portion of this book happened in a blink of an eye. One minute I felt like they would never allow this relationship to happen, but then the next chapter starts and it is a completely different story. I would have just liked a little bit more build-up. Overall, still a good addition to the series.

The Challenger: A Sports Romance Saga (The Hustlers Trilogy) Book 2 By Rowan Rossler Review by Cindy Mayberry

The Challenger: A Sports Romance Saga (The Hustlers Trilogy Book 2)The Challenger: A Sports Romance Saga by Rowan Rossler
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Welcome to Sports Romance at its finest. This is book 2 but it can be read as a standalone. This is Chavez and Flynn’s story. Chavez is hot tempered and uncontrollable. His tennis skills could take him far. Flynn is a motivational speaker and coach. She is the exact opposite and seems to level Chavez out. When these two unlikely souls get together, there is as much action on the court as off the court. But both of them have their own secrets to get past. Will these two come together or will this pull them apart? This story took me by surprise. The author writes an amazing story leaving nothing out. The story is fast paced as well as well written. You can’t help falling in love with the characters. Even though it looks like they have nothing in common, they find out just where they lead each other. This turned out to be an exciting story to read. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

Ale’s Fair in Love and War by Sylvie Stewart – Review by Jennifer Allen

Ale's Fair in Love and War (Love on Tap, #1)Ale’s Fair in Love and War by Sylvie Stewart
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Ales Fair in Love and War was a fantastic, quick read.  Sylvie Stewart made Hollis and Cash’s attraction jump off the pages.  There was a lot of spice so make sure you have a cold glass of water when you’re reading.  The characters were all wonderful and the plot moved right along.  If you’re into enemies turned to lovers, then this is the book for you.

Master Calabrea (Masters of the Consulate Book 6) by Sylvia Black – Review by Kerry Carr

Master Calabrea: Dark Vampire Romance (Masters of the Consulate Book 6)Master Calabrea: Dark Vampire Romance by Sylvia Black
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is the 6th book in the Masters Of Consulate and wow this series just keeps getting better and better. I love the danger, the romance, to mixture of vampires and shifters and witches. These books literally tick all my boxes.

In this story we are with the Masters trying to still find Isala and the rouge witches and shifters that are trying to take over control. In this story the hunt and arrived in Master Calabrea’s area and he is one vampire you definately don’t want to mess with. No one dares answer him back or stand up to him. That is until he meets Tansia. She is fiesty and when she is tasked to work alongside Calabrea neither of them could know the feelings that would evolve between them.
Add to the danger of all the rogue members of the underworld after them there is also the jilted lover of Calabrea to deal with.
As thoughts of not being good enough swim through Tansia’s mind the option to change is taken from her hands when it becomes a matter of life or death. Is this what was seen the prophecies? Who or what actually is Tansia and what part will she play in saving the vampires and protect their way of life. Is this a case of fated mates and what will the consequences be of her and Calabrea teamed together for eternity? Could Tansia be the missing piece of the puzzle to finally catch Isala?

Master Calabrea (Masters of the Consulate Book 6) by Sylvia Black – Review by Santana Hicks

Master Calabrea: Dark Vampire Romance (Masters of the Consulate Book 6)Master Calabrea: Dark Vampire Romance by Sylvia Black
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is the 6th book of the ‘Masters of the Consulate’ series. Each book is about a different master vampire meeting his mate, joining together to fight a war between the races. With that saying, you can read each book as a standalone although in my opinion you should read them all. There are mentions of previous characters as they all band together in this fight.

This time around, the book is about Master Calabrea and Tansia. Tansia comes in hopes of starting a new life after a past relationship ending due to unfaithfulness. That causes Tansia to have trust issues when it comes to men. She is welcomed to help the vampires by her cousin and friend who are both mates of two other Masters. When meeting Calabrea, a dark sexy playboy vampire, Tansia can’t help but instantly feel attracted to him. No way was that happening. A human and a Vampire Master?

Calabrea can’t help but notice Tansia too. With fiery red curls and jade eyes that pierce into you, he can’t deny his attraction but he wasn’t going to admit that to anyone. The couple, both being as stubborn as can be, decide to fight against the attraction by being sassy to one another. There is a prophecy that a woman with red curls and jade eyes will team up with a strong and noble vampire, the future vampire queen thinks that the prophecy is about Tansia and Calabrea.

Will they stop being stubborn enough and embrace the prophecy and potentially each other? Will it get in the way of their mission of finding Isala who is after the future queen?

I have only read a couple books of this series but I immediately added the rest of the series to the want to read list. The author is a great story teller. Which character has their own personality causing you to fall in love with every new couple. I cannot wait to read the rest of the series!
