The Husbands by Naomi Valkyrie – Review by Angela Hayes

The HusbandsThe Husbands by Naomi Valkyrie
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

 

4.5 Stars

 

The Husbands by Naomi Valkyrie took me on an unexpected, intriguing and emotional journey. It is a short novella, but definitely packed the punch of a much longer novel.
Life throws Dorian a bit of a curveball, with fate propelling him into Augustine’s life in a very unexpected way. What starts out as a sense of responsibility on his part to make things right, turns into so much more. Feeling become involved. Life becomes confusing and complicated. The heart wants what the heart wants. But with significant other’s already in their lives, heartache isn’t far away. But their connection can’t be denied. So is there a way for them to find the happiness they crave? An intriguing short story with more emotion and complexity than it first appears.
These characters are really well developed into fully realised and complex individuals with their own personalities, quirks and flaws. I wasn’t sure of what to expect when the story began, but as usual Ms. Valkyrie had me quickly investing in these characters and the outcome of their story. The emotional quality of the story was nicely balanced with suspense, intrigue, and dramatic developments that propelled the story forward quite quickly. The author managed to weave quite a lot into a small amount of space and provided an engrossing read.
Well Done! Looking forward to more from Ms. Valkyrie.
Happy Reading…

Thank you, Naomi Valkyrie!

First time reader of author Leslie Georgeson and boy oh boy I’m hooked. I started this series because of the covers (I’m a sucker for a hot guy lmao). This was the fourth book of the Popov Bratva series. After I read this I instantly went to go read the three books before this one. Although, This could be read as a standalone if need be. Dominik was such a beefcake, a hot one lol. Also omg the twist and turns and the surprises in this book is the chef’s kiss. This was a really cute HEA. I loved it alot. I’m onto the next one (the beast). I’m extremely excited to read it.

Oh man, I’m back. I jumped right into this one after I binge read the first three books lmao. I could not put this series down. Leslie Georgeson has such a way of telling a story that keeps you enthralled. I love that we still get to see the characters from the previous books. Adrik and Annika are my fave couple so far. The one definitely puts you through the feels man, but I loved every minute of it.I can’t believe I have to wait until March for the next installment of the Popov Bratva Series.
1000 percent recommend this series.

This is one of my favorite authors! Like all of the other books I have read by them this one was just as good. This is one of those slow burn romances that builds up the tension. The accidental crossing of Dorian and Augustine was not supposed to happen. The attraction was not supposed to happen, both of them are married. After parting ways it’s assumed they will not cross paths again. Of course, fate has other plans, but what will this mean for them and their wives. As the unexpected happens and secrets are revealed the story takes some interesting turns. This is definitely a great read and I always really enjoy this author!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

There’s something so intriguing about flawed characters. If you’ve read other books in this series, you may have gotten a brief glimpse of Adrik, AKA the Beast, and hoped to read more. Fortunately, you could also easily pick this book up as a stand-alone and be just as enthralled with the storyline. Adrik’s character draws the reader in with his broody personality and mysterious past. After joining the Bratva, and being assigned watch over Mafia Princess, Annika, Beast is faced with protecting his years long crush from a dangerous stalker, while trying even harder to ignore his feelings for her. Annika is strange and unique and quirky, which all seem to appeal to Adrik a great deal. She’s just as enthralled. There are so many twists and turns, flashbacks, hurdles, and emotions going on in this story, and I couldn’t get enough. Wonderful read!

On the surface this book is your typical bad boy romance, but really it is just so much more. Paige has the life she wanted until she found out her husband was cheating on her. Beckett is spiraling out of control. A chance meeting with someone from their past is just what the doctor ordered for these two. Can he help her let go of the past? Can she help him find his path? I loved this story so much. I felt like I really felt the characters. I will definitely be reading the next in this series.

Joker’s Fool (Satan’s Devils MC #8) Audiobook by Manda Mellett

 

Holy Cow there’s just something about listening to this story that shattered me more than reading it. This is the eighth book in the Satan’s Devils MC and to say this one is definitely on my favorite list. I loved this book and  had a terrible time stopping it . The narrator did a wonderful job of bringing the characters to life using different tones made the emotions of all the main character went through seem so real.  Im a huge fan of this author and her style of writing along with amazing characters that sometimes are very raw makes this series one of the best MC I’ve ever read. I don’t want to give to much away.  But be prepared for one  heck of a emotional rollercoaster ride with highs and lows.  I highly recommend giving this a listen to find out what happens next.  I look forward to reading/listening to many more books by this author.

It pulled me in from the first! The characters are complex so it takes some time to understand. I love that it switches back and forth as far as perspectives go. This is the first book in the series I have read but I don’t feel like I missed out on anything! The way the relationship between Adrik and Annika develops is slow but that so helps build the story in the best way.

Annika Popov is his dream, his fantasy, and his salvation. A Bratva Princess he has sworn to protect, from everyone and everything.

Never read a book like this. Dorian has an odd job that leads him to nursing Augustine back to health after an accident. Both in the same place at the same time, they never thought they’d fall in love. Both having wives, they decide to leave their feelings behind and return to their usual lives. Three years later, their wives happen to meet and bring the 2 men back together. Can they resist the incessant pull? Or will they ruin their marriages for a possibility at a chance together? Read this book if you like romance, betrayal, deception, dramatics, and new adventures.

Beast (Popov Bratva #5)Beast by Leslie Georgeson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Beast is the second book I’ve read by this author and I’m even more obsessed than I was before! Though the characters are linked to previous books, there is no critical information missing so each book can be read as a stand alone despite being a part of a series.
I couldn’t help but fall in love all over again (having initially ‘met’ Adrik in book 4). My love for Beast only deepened as the plot progressed and seeing how the characters pasts shaped them and how they evolve as the current events unfold had me reading through the night.
I was really rooting for Adrik to get his happy ending with everything I learnt about him and still hold him in my heart.
Obviously, I wanted Annika to get her happily ever after too and I admire her strength given everything she was put through.
The characters felt so believable to me I genuinely felt a loss when the book ended but I’m excited to throw myself into the author’s next book in March. Until then, I’ll be throwing myself into the first books of the series and their equally lovable characters.
This is fast becoming one of my favourite series by a new favourite author. I cannot recommend this enough!

Adrian and Annika had a beautiful story. The connection they shared was so unique and special. Their bond gave them strength, courage, and happiness that they could only find with each other.
Adrik had a tragic childhood and suffered through something unthinkable. He however was still loyal and determined. Annika had a beautiful spirit and fierce dedication to those around her… after an attack she struggles to reclaim that piece of her. Together Adrik and Annika show love conquers all when it’s right and meant to be.

Abi
Some people go for dinner or coffee for their first date.
I got married.
Time and opportunities to meet Mr Right are slim, since I’m working three jobs. It’s ridiculous to think a reality-TV husband might be the one… but it will mean a break from my regularly scheduled life.
And what if he is?

To rehab my image — one I’ve cultivated for years, thank you very much — my agent has given me the hardest role I’ll ever have to play. A 24-hour loving husband, on reality TV.
It’s just 3 months. I can handle that. That’s all it will take for my latest sexcapade to be forgiven and forgotten, and instead of finding myself on the D-List, I might salvage my career.
I just have to stay strong and not fall for the perfect woman they’ve chosen for me.
That’s the problem with reality TV. It’s so hard to know when it’s TV and when it’s real.

Married Blind is a standalone marriage-of-convenience Hollywood romance set in the Kings of Screen world and within a reality TV show.

Adrik has worked for the Popov family for several years, and he’s been secretly in love with Annika for almost as long. He’s the scary “interrogator” so there’s no chance of him ever having a chance with a Bratva princess. When a stalker sets his sights on Annika, Adrik is assigned to protect her 24/7. Can he focus on the job at hand and not be distracted by her presence? This is the next book in the series and I enjoyed it as much as the others.

This was a really good book! It was very well written. It was a well woven story of hope, love, and dreams with some darkness thrown in there to spice the story up. This is the second book in a series but can be read as a standalone. Both books were really good, I’m not sure which I would call my favorite. But I do know this one was beautifully written and well crafted and I’m excited to read more from this author in the future.

Love Tools (Bluestone Series, #1)Love Tools by Isobel Reed
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Love Tools is a sweet romance story with a happy ending. I really enjoyed the story, and loved both main characters as well as the supporting siblings. Lily left England and moved to a small town in the US, after inheriting a hardware/tool store. Jake is a cowboy who lives on a ranch with his sister, and is a smart a$$ but also very sweet. There are parts that made me laugh out loud, and others that had me saying awwww. I enjoyed the tidbits about Lily getting to know her dad, after he passed, as well as Jake giving his mom a second chance. Their love story, while a bit predictable, was sweet and funny. I am looking forward to the next book, because Alice seems to be even more of a firecracker than Lily.

This is the second book in the Winemaker’s series. I went into this book with high expectations as I LOVED the first book in the series. I have to say that this one did not disappoint. I love that this book focused on Pedro and his rise from “darkness”. In the first book, I did not have a favorable opinion of Pedro. However, I loved watching how he changed and developed as a person as he was on the run from the authorities as well as once he met Annie. I loved this historical romance. I hope that there is more to come in the series!

The Husbands by Naomi Valkyrie – Review by Jenni Bishop

The HusbandsThe Husbands by Naomi Valkyrie
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Naomi usually writes paranormal supernatural fantasy. The Husbands is her first attempt at a contemporary romance. As I have always said love is love and as always Naomi doesn’t shy away from and writes about what is not always considered the norm. It is a short read but one that definitely brings all the senses to life. It takes you on a rollercoaster ride with emotions. The tone of the story is full of push and pull, of angst and longing, hopes and fear, heartbreak and heartache, guilt and passion. Full of lies and secrets, doubt and temptation, of desperate want makes it one of those stories you just have to know how it all turns out.
You know it’s a good story when there is a sad aw that rushes through you. My favourite way of storytelling is when it is tole through several POV and this one is. The characters Dorian and Augustine were easy to like and become invested in.
I liked this story and the fact it was about the characters and not bogged down with unnecessary details. Not that I don’t love those but for this one it was right. I also like how the relationship was considered by taking in to account the feelings of significant others.
For her first foray into this genre she has done well. I look forward to what comes next.

What Actually Happened to Isaac MooreWhat Actually Happened to Isaac Moore by Samantha J. Rose
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Isaac Moore is a sailor who has devoted his entire life to the sea. Growing up poor he learned to have a vivid imagination and wove grand tales of his life and adventures. Isaac never expected to become part of one of his own fairy tales and he certainly never expected to end up in the storybook his mother gave him as a child. After being drug away by a green fairy with hair made of vines, he finds himself standing at the River that was in the storybook his mom used to read to him. As he stands and watches it flow from world to world, he finds it hard to believe that he is now a part of one of his magical fairy tales in his favorite storybook. Suddenly Isaac is on adventures with giant flowers with eyes, enormous worms, and a man called Snowman that frightens poor Isaac.

This book was absolutely brilliant and imaginative. When I started to read it, I was not sure what to expect but was not disappointed. The book sucked me into the storyline, and I wanted to know where Isaac Moore would end up and what (mis)adventures he would go on. This book was colorful, fun, intriguing, full of adventure and mystery. Highly entertaining! Give it a read!
