My rating: 3 of 5 stars

An arranged marriage to Prince Fidge has Princess Mora desperate for freedom, especially when she discovers Prince Fidge does not care for an alliance.
Darin is a an outcast rebel with a crush on Mrs Langley (aka Princess Mora).
Together they want to free the moon people and live a free life themselves. Will Darin feel the same way when he discovers the truth about Mrs Langley?

This was a good read, just needed to be longer! The story, world and characters were well crafted. I really enjoyed Darin and Mrs Langley/Princess Mora’s relationship.
An easy read that kept me turning pages.

This story has SO much potential. The spicy scenes were very well written and descriptive enough to create a mental image. I only wish there was more life to the characters and the plotline. I love the concept of meeting real people in your dreams and then finding out later they’re real.

Talisman (The Talisman Series Book 1) by Tam DeRudder Jackson

Talisman is the first book The Talisman Series and is a Paranormal Romance that once you start reading there’s no stopping until you finish. There’s a lot going on in this story that is packed with Celtic mythology, magic , curses , gods and goddesses and so much more. This is a fairly new author to me and I look forward to seeing what other books they have written. There are a few twists that had me turning the pages trying to figure out what was going to happen next. The characters are relatable and fully developed and there is definitely chemistry between. There’s ja few steamy scenes that will have you turning the pages. I highly recommend reading this book to find out what happens next..i can’t wait to read more from this Author.

Three Made In Heaven is the first book in the Made In Heaven series by Elena Kincaid. This is the first book that I have read by Ms. Kincaid, so I really didn’t know what to expect going into the story. I was curious about what I would find- and am so happy that it was even better than I had hoped for.
This was a great introduction to Ms. Kincaid’s work, and has given me a taste for more… I will definitely be continuing this series, as well as exploring any other works I can find.
Maddie, Charlie, and Cole took me on an unexpected journey- one that snuck its way under my skin and had me devouring the pages to find out what would happen. The paranormal aspect to this story really gave it an extra element of intrigue. From dreams to reality. This story had me invested right from the get-go. I was pulled further into the story as the page count mounted. These three tell an intriguing and very memorable tale. I can’t wait to see where this series goes…. So bring on Book #2!
If you love a captivating paranormal romance with a sexy menage (MFM), longing, drama, danger, chemistry, steam, tension, emotion, suspense, and a touch of fate- then this is definitely the story/series for you!!
Happy Reading…

Thank you, Elena Kincaid!

Overbearing royal families and royal duties become too much for Princess Mora who decides to take advantage of the possibility of adventure with Darin, a rebel pilot, shirking her betrothed responsibilities. Darin, however, is unaware of Mora’s royal title and obligations as First Princess to unite her home planet with the moon planet, Xot.
Kudos to Fantasia Yu for developing many other moons, planets, worlds and galaxies that wrestle with politics, love and opposing planetary views.

Princess Mora was sent to for an arranged marriage to a Prince. That was not what she wanted though. She’s always wanted to go out on her own and learn the world. She meets a boy, Darin, and soon escapes secretly with him while the kingdom looks for her. He knows her as a different alias, but soon later finds out. There is much adventure, drama, relationship, and friendship in this book. I loved it all! The ending was great too!!! 🙂

So many things happen in this book, and I CANNOT WAIT to know what happens next. So many things came out of nowhere and threw me for a loop which was awesome! 🙂

I don’t read sci-fi romances very often but I did really enjoy this one! The author was fantastic at painting the picture in every scene, I could picture myself being a part of the adventure with Princess Mora and Darin, an unlikely couple that I found myself rooting for from the moment they met each other. The story kept me hooked with all the secrets, self-discovery, humor and the ultimate challenge: following your head or your heart. The book ended on a cliffhanger that I wasn’t expecting, which makes me eager for me to read more of the story. I also can’t wait to read more by the author.

Handle With Care (Chase Care Book 1)Handle With Care by R.L. Dunn
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is a well written story with many twists and turns. It makes you want to keep reading the next chapter that you are at the end of the book before you know it. If you like medical outbreak stories added with a touch of romance, this is the book for you.

Hunter and Selma have known each other for years and have been in different relationships until 20 years later when they can finally be with each other. However, they take their careers first.

Selma has volunteered to go overseas to help Doctors without Borders when after she arrives, an outbreak happens. Hunters and a team of doctors end up going over to Africa after her to try to help with the sick and to get their friends out of the country and safe back home. Everyone debates whether or not the outbreak was an intentional threat or not.

The author does a great job in displaying knowledge and understanding of the events in the story.

This was a fantastic and well written romance that had some paranormal moments and brought the steamy factor to 11. The author did a great job of keeping me engaged in the story and wanting to keep reading until the end. The dynamics between Mattie, Charlie and Cole were sweet and extremely spicy and the characters were well rounded and developed. The story had several twists and turns that kept me guessing how things would end. It was a somewhat shorter book, but none the less enjoyable. I look forward to reading the next book in the series!

Grace Under FireGrace Under Fire by Jennifer Raines
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

This is an okay read. I liked the idea of the story but the execution was a struggle for me at times. Sometimes it ran smoothly and others it was very choppy and cryptic. When a character asked “What do you mean?” To another..I was wondering the same thing but what they said did not make sense. Ear the end this seemed to get worse.

I liked the characters but my favorite is Bluey when it shouldn’t be. He is a secondary. The main female had a lot of issues to work through (personal and job). I see the author was touching on a couple touchy subjects. The family farm is a rough one and I can see the responsibility and pressure one could feel.

Overall its an okay story. The cover is cute and thats what pulled me to it. The blurb sounded intruiging. It fell a little flat for me.

I’m not gonna lie, it took me a while to get into this one. But one I did I could not put it down. I truly enjoyed the dynamic between Maddie, Cole and Charlie. I thought it was odd at first that they only met in dreams, however, as they tried to figure out what was real and what was dreams, I really enjoyed the twists and turns. It was spicy for sure and I definitely enjoyed it in the end. I will say give this one a try because it really is a unique concept that I want to read more about!

My rating: 3 of 5 stars

If you are looking for a short erotica with a HEA, this is the book for you. Although this is classified as a paranormal romance, there are barely any paranormal aspects. I also found there wasn’t much depth in the storyline. It focused too much on the sex aspect of things. I also found the men to be dull. They barely had any personally and were too much alike other than their hair and eye color.

The story starts off with Maddie, Charlie and Cole meeting somehow in a shared dream. For years, the trio would meet in the dreamworld thinking the other two were just figments of their imagination. That is until both men realized they were in love with Maddie.

After having a recurring nightmare, the men realize that Maddie could be in danger and decide to show her that they are in fact real. Scared for Maddie’s well-being they go to her.

I was disappointed about the ‘danger’ the book kept hinting at. The way it was talked about seemed like it was going to be malicious and more dangerous then what actually happened.

One thing that the book had going for it was the spicy content. The sex scenes were detailed but not too graphic. All in all, I was kind of disappointed. This book was nothing like I thought it was going to be.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This series honestly keeps getting better and better. When I picked up the first book I never imagined this series would be able to sustain this longevity or that I would enjoy it as much as I do and yet that is exactly what has happened. Each book just adds so much to the series overall and, like this one, is a brilliant story in its own right.
I loved getting back into these characters and their lives. It took no effort for this book to draw me back into their world and have me engrossed from start to finish. I am reluctant to say that this was my favourite so far simply because they have all been so good. At the very least it is on par with the rest. This is a fantastic series and a brilliant book. I cannot wait for more!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Three Made In Heaven is the first magical book in the Made In Heaven series. There are many tropes to this book with ménage à trois, romance, MFM, erotica, paranormal and new adult.
Wow this is one beautifully written book. It stayed with me long after I finished it. I loved everything about it from the amazing characters to the world that Elena created. It is sexy and steamy, titillating and hot, scorching with flying sparks. If you get too close you will be incinerated.
She can feel them all the way down to her soul. Her soulmates. BUT Her dreams are just that dreams. Or are they?
Not wanting her to choose they visit only in dreams but with fate involved that is impossible.
I look forward to more but I encourage you to get this book.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I enjoyed Three Made in Heaven quite a bit. It was definitely a different approach to romance than I’ve read before. The author gives an interesting take on a MMF relationship. If you’ve ever wanted your dreams/fantasies to become a reality, this book gives you that and more.
Maddie, Charlie, and Cole became friends one night in their dreams in Disney and they never realized it would change their lives. The 3 of them would constantly meet up and hang out in dreams. Their dreams become what they wished for as their reality, but when one lives in NY, one in San Fran, and the last in Washington State, how could that ever be possible? It wasn’t till Maddie started to pull back and Cole received a dire warning that he knew he needed to take action.
The adventures these 3 end up on through their dreams and reality keep you intrigued. Make you want more. The premise kept me interested and I think it could keep too! Check it out!!!
I look forward to what this author does next, especially since this is book 1!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Lucky Stars is a fun sci-fi romance. It’s great if you’re looking for some fast-paced adventure alongside the romance! I was attracted by the “Roman Holiday in space” description and it definitely delivers on that, so if you’re a fan of Roman Holiday and also space you’re in for a treat!
I really like the dynamic between Princesses Pola and Mora at the start, which establishes the difference in expectations for Mora as the eldest, but also emphasises her youth and independence.
I also love the descriptions of places and cultures – there’s a lot of worldbuilding gone into this! It’s a great book if you enjoy exploring fantastic worlds.
This book gets five stars from me. It’s the first I’ve read by this author, and I look forward to reading more!

Mora is a Princess and she’s bored. She’s fated to marry a prince from another moon and in only 10 days.
She travels to her betrothed planet but during some tours of her new home she comes across Darin , a simple tour guide (or so he says). The chemistry is instant and Mora doesn’t resist the call of it.
But how can this work? A tour guide and apparent past criminal who hardly squeaks by and Mora who is royalty.
A fast paced story of Star crossed lovers and a cliffhanger making me want more.

The Man in Black by L.R. Liverpool – Review by Mary Espinoza

The Man In BlackThe Man In Black by L.R. Liverpool
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The Man in Black is by L.R. Liverpool, and I would describe it as a gritty thriller with some drama, action, adventure, MM romance, mystery, history, and more. It did take me a few chapters to really get into the storyline, but once I continued reading on, I found that I was able to get into the storyline. It was interesting to find that it had a bit of a documentary/memoir-esque plotline, which made it more interesting. In the storyline, we follow as Fenimore (Simon) leaves home on his journey to become a famous outlaw. Fenimore’s adventures begin and not too long after that is when the story starts to take off. Of course, as you will find in any good action book, there’s a lot of suspense and mystery, but the biggest mystery of all is The Man in Black that Fenimore can’t stop thinking about. Fenimore quickly discovers that these romantic feelings are quickly brining complications to the situation. But he can’t help but wonder where does the Man in Black fit into it all? There are so many details that are in the book, that you will have to find out on your own by reading The Man in Black. Happy Reading!

This is still a newer author for me. I enjoyed her writing style as well as her attention to details that bring life to her stories. They have a realistic feel to them which makes them entertaining and easy to read. I enjoyed reading this steamy romance story. The characters pulled me into the story from the start. They added so much to the story which made the story hard to put down. They are connectable, strong, and keep the story engaging. This is a story that not only has romance in it but some suspense added to it. What starts out as friendship just may turn into something no one expects. I enjoyed the growth and chemistry of the characters throughout the story. I really enjoyed reading this story and I highly recommend it.
