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

I couldn’t wait to read this book! I read the prequel “Night Hawke” and it definitely left me hanging to read this book. When Jack (Giacomina) and her daughter Vivi are ripped out of their home due to a threat, they end up at Jack’s dad’s best friend’s business in the heart of New Orleans. When he walked into the room, Jack didn’t even have to turn around to know he just walked into the office. Nolan (Isaac) was now face to face with the woman who stole his heart and broke it all in one weekend five years ago back in Chicago! These two have so much chemistry. It was a page-turner that I could not put down!

Master Calabrea (Masters of the Consulate Book 6) by Sylvia Black
4 Stars

This is book six in this series. I would suggest reading from the beginning to understand why things are happening. The hunt for Isala continues. This time Master Calabrea is leading the team because it is in his territory. What he didn’t expect was to be saddled with Tansia. She is a fiery redhead who has definitely caught his attention. Outspoken and vivacious, Tansia thought she would be coming to Italy to start a job and get her life back on track. Never in a million years did she expect to be chasing a wayward and very dangerous vampire. Fate has a hand in all things and this was meant to be. A fire ignites between the two. Can a relationship work between a human and a vampire? Will they even survive to try?

There were some editing issues and spelling mistakes but all in all this is a good story. It’s another exciting addition to this series.

What a unique and interesting concept this story is. From the moment I read the description I just knew I had to read it. This is a quick book to read but it is a great one. The author has created an original story with three amazing characters at its centre.
The book was well written with some great development throughout. I was pulled into the story and found it hard to put the book down. I thoroughly enjoyed getting to know the characters and watching their journey. I cannot wait to read book 2.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Real Movie Hero by Debra Parmley is the second book of the Green Brotherhood: Seal Team XII series. Although I had not read the first book of the series, I found it very easy to read. This book definitely works as a stand-alone. Reed and Christine are 2 strangers that meet at the movie premiere of Turn and Deliver. They find themselves facing an active shooter and Reed takes charge and protects Christine and the others. I found this story very enjoyable. Reed and Christine have great chemistry. I loved how at ease he made Christine feel. The plot was fun and action-packed. The story draws in and the writing is great. Time flew as I read this story. It is a definite page-turner.

This was a short, quick romance read. The two main characters came together in spite of an age gap and the hardship of a biracial relationship in that time period. This author stayed true to the way of life in this period of time and portrays the “law” as it mostly was.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Lovely Jo is hiding in the stables that belong to Dusty. She explains to Dusty that she is hiding from the law as she is accused of killing her boss but is innocent. Lovely Jo offers him her body as a way to pay for Dusty to keep her in hiding and her secret that she is still in Clear Creek County. There is a reward offered for her capture and Dusty sure could use the money to rebuild his ranch and get him out of debt and yet he cannot seem to be able to turn her over to the sheriff. Lovely Jo knows that despite Dusty being a grouchy mean man, she can trust him with her life and that the love she feels for Dusty will be returned in favor. In the end, Lovely Jo is found to be innocent and Dusty and Lovely can begin the relationship that Lovely Jo knew was always waiting for them to have. Great characters and such a quick easy read. Dusty even though he is a rough and tough cowboy refuses to take Lovely’s virtue until all the hurdles have been cleared and a relationship can begin. The scenery jumps off the page and I feel as if I am in the wagon with the two people in the Old West. The dialogue between the two is real and the tension jumps off the page and hits you in the feels!

Three Made in Heaven (Made in Heaven, #1)Three Made in Heaven by Elena Kincaid
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I really enjoyed this romance. It was an interesting read and I love how our 3 characters all meet in their dreams it was very unique. This is a romance with a hint of danger which made the story even more gripping. I loved all 3 of our characters and their connection that was built up through their dreams is so special you just know there would be fireworks when they all come together. And boy was there.

Maddie, Cole and Charlie all meet up when they are kids in their dreams not realising that as they grow they would become soul mates. When the time is right the 3 soul mates finally meet and everything is finally right in their world. That is until a danger threatens to take Maddie from them. Cole and Charles are certain that no one will harm Maddie while they are around even if it means putting themselves at risk.

This is a steamy read but their connection and love for each other is what really brings this story to life. I loved it.

This story has the makings of a movie. It has the action and adventure of love. A classic revenge plot but with a twist of falling for the wrong guy. Viviana is just trying to get revenge for her friend but she gets that tingly feeling about Nazario. Could she get her revenge or end up dead? Maybe she’ll find love? Worth the read to find out.

Master Calabrea: Dark Vampire Romance (Masters of the Consulate Book 6)Master Calabrea: Dark Vampire Romance by Sylvia Black
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the 6th book in the Masters of the Consulate series, and it’s just as good as the rest of the series.
As with the previous books, the novels are short and easy to follow, and the writing flows nicely. The novels are descriptive, and the characters are lovable and unique. I thoroughly enjoy this series and always look forward to the next book in the series.
Master Calabrea has been given an important task by the Overmaster, he is thrown in the path of Embry’s (a recurring character in previous books) cousin who is visiting. They both fight the attraction but are forced together to complete the task given to them.
I really liked the character of Tansia, she’s flawed but devoted and so strong. She’s had her share of problems but is strong enough to push forward despite her setbacks.
Although this book could technically be read as a standalone, I would highly recommend that the series be read in order to gain a deeper understanding of the ongoing story which begins in book one and to get the know the other characters a lot better.
I cannot wait for the next book to be released so I can find out what happens next and get some answers!

My rating: <a href=”https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/5380124071″>4 of 5 stars</a><br /><br />
This is a sweet story about Grace, who is fiercely protective of her family ranch land and Ryan, who is buying up land. With their past history, it is difficult for both to forgive and move on, but when current things happening in both thier worlds bring them together, they find a way. All throughout this story, I wanted Grace and Ryan to make peace and and tell each other that their love has grown. I wanted them to put their cards down and fall into each others arms. It was so evident in how Ryan came in to support Grace, how they worked together to save the farm, and how their families were providing opportunity for them to work together that it was meant to be. <br />If you are into sweet romance with some steamy (not too much), this might be a book you could check out!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Fantastic continuation of the series! I love that Black is able to keep the flow from one Master to the next without missing a beat. I will STRESS that this is a series and you need to read them in order. They really don’t work as standalone novels, but you aren’t going to be disappointed with having to go back and read the first 5 novels 😉
We are invested in the “love/hate” relationship between Master Calabrea and Tansia. The dynamic between them is steamy, dramatic, dangerous, and so much more. This installment definitely gave me all the feels! I really love how Black develops her characters and advances her plot lines. I would classify these novels as dark, paranormal romances. If you are into sexy, possessive vampires then you definitely need to check out this series!

Book 6 in this series and I am still absolutely loving it! In this latest instalment we follow Master Calabrea as he is set the task of an enemy of the vampire community Isala. I loved the first meeting between Master Calabrea and Tansia who is on his team. There was something between them right from the very start and I enjoyed reading their story. I actually really liked Tansia, she was a great female lead in the story and could definitely hold her own, she had a history which made her an interesting character to get to know. I am really excited to see what happens in book 7 in this wonderfully dark vampire series!

Real Movie HeroReal Movie Hero by Debra Parmley
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Another action packed military romantic suspense which had me happily turning the pages. A fairly quick read but a great storyline and I was hooked throughout. Christie is excited to be attending the movie premiere of Turn and Deliver, a new action, adventure movie on the anniversary of D-Day. Having been looking forward to a fun girls night out all dressed up she is upset when her friend cancels, leaving Christie to go to the theatre alone. Meanwhile, Marine Reed was lucky and won a ticker via his local ration station, and he can’t believe his luck when a very attractive young lady sits in the seat next to him. Christie can’t ignore how handsome the Marine next to her is, but she’s even more thankful for sitting next to him when a live shooter fires into the crowd. Reed must act quickly and use all his skills to get himself, Christie and the others out alive, and take down the shooter. This is a fast paced story full of action, drama, suspense and romance, in which the characters and the setting come alive through the descriptive narrative. I’m enjoying this series and look forward to book 3.

The story does start off a little slow but don’t let that stop you.
I feel like I must warn you…the author did a phenomenal job…be ready to go on an emotional roller-coaster.
This story is filled with action, mystery and romance. There is a little something for everyone. Trigger warning: It does get violent.
The story is a little on the long side but definitely worth the read. Trust me you won’t be able to put it down and you’ll get to the last page and wish it hadn’t ended yet.

Grace Under Fire (The Anderson Sisters Book 2) by Jennifer Raines – Review by Francis O’Sullivan

Grace Under FireGrace Under Fire by Jennifer Raines
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Grace Under Fire is the second book in Jennifer Raines’ The Anderson Sisters series. It can be read as a standalone, as it follows a different sister from the first book, but if you plan to read both I’d recommend reading them in order to avoid spoilers.
Grace is a cheesemaker and stands to take over the farm that has been in her family for generations. She’s used to being independent and relying on herself, but is still building her business and isn’t yet ready to buy the farm. But she has to, soon, or lose it forever. Which means she’s forced to accept help from others – family, those in the community who want her to succeed. And the brother of her best friend, who she hasn’t spoken to since the friend’s suicide many years ago.
This is an emotional read about accepting help and coping with challenging situations. The relationship between Ryan and Grace is well written – they’re both open about their attraction to each other, but reluctant to get involved with each other when there is so much for them to work through. I like Ryan’s dog, Satan, who breaks the tension and helps us see Ryan’s caring side. And Bluey the farmhand is fun, always bringing a cryptic crossword clue he’s stuck on (how did the author find so many cheese-themed clues?).
This book gets five stars from me! I’d recommend it to fans of rural romances.

Echoing Hearts (Book 1 of The Echo Series)Echoing Hearts by C.R. Alam
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

An enjoyable and engaging contemporary romance with an enemies to lovers love triangle theme, which kept me happily turning the pages. Having watched her mother have her heart broken and then deteriorating into depression, Rae Allen has vowed never to fall in love. She’s perfectly happy and certainly does not need a man as she travels the world, getting paid for it and living her dream. Likewise, Dean Rowland has sworn off women after his fiancé left him at the alter, the only way he could continue was to keep going like nothing had happened. Working all hours has definitely paid off as he now has a thriving business and more money than he will ever need. Rae and Dean’s first meeting is not great, especially as she wasn’t expecting him to be there and he thought she was trespassing on his property!
Rae admitted her first impression was that he was hot, followed by thinking he was an ass. Dean wasn’t expecting to play host to a sassy redhead all weekend, but the encounter changes both their lives forever. The chemistry between Rae and Dean sizzles off the page but I like the slow burn romance between them as well. However, when Brandon, a rockstar and Rae’s best friend arrives he stirs up jealousy and doubt between the couple. This story took me on an emotional rollercoaster whilst reading it, wondering if they would trust in love or not. The characters were brought to life, as was the setting by the descriptive narrative and I felt engaged with Rae and Dean and immersed in their story. I look forward to the next book in the series.

Master Calabrea has been put in charge buy the Overmaster Descillia to find the traitor, Isala and bring her in. So when he meets the team his is tasked with her is drawn to the mysterious red head who is destined to be trouble.

Tansia is committed to the cause, deeply respectful of the vampire community but when her physic abilities are discovered can she feels that she is more capable of going it on her own but when Master Calabrea demands that she not take things into her own hand’s things go side wards and she is left fighting for her life. Can Calabrea find her in time to save her?

I love this series and these strong characters, this book as the rest is well written and follows the Consulate while they are trying to find the traitors in their mist, although this could be read as a standalone novel, I feel you may need a little background when it comes to the main characters.

As always, the book is fast paced and draws you in quickly into the story, I love the character of Tansia her sassy, feisty attitude is a welcome equal to the Alpha nature of Calabrea. I always love a flawed character and you get that with Tansia and her history. I can’t wait to read the next book in this series.

A beautiful story following the slow-burn romance of Dean and Rae. Watching their journey as they fall in love was truly something special and made this book a really enjoyable read. I couldn’t put it down and found myself thinking about what would come next. Unlike a lot of romance books this one didn’t feel cliche to me and helped me be able to stick with the story.

Looking forward to reading the other books in the series and seeing more of her best friend Brandon too!

Grace is working towards her goals to take over her family’s farm, but this is sped up when Grace’s mum’s health deteriorates. The years she thought she had to buy her parents out has now turned into 3 months or lose the farm.
Ryan, Graces neighbor, has returned after 8years away and is ready to sell his mum’s farm.
With pressure from the bank, Grace is having to consider Ryan’s suggestions to buy some of her land.
Grace and Ryan are well outside their comfort zones – Can Ryan care avian? Can Grace accept the help she needs?

Jennifer Raines has done it again!
I really enjoyed this read! This expands on the first story of the Anderson family, Taylor’s Law. Another Anderson sister with strength, sass and determination.
Ryan and Grace have a vibrant chemistry that had me hooked from the first chapter! I really enjoyed watching their relationship grow. This was sweet and brave – I definitely recommend.

You don’t need to read Taylor’s Law before diving into this story. It is just as sweet, and you won’t be disappointed to give both books your time.
