The Husbands by Naomi Valkyrie – Review by Shelly Kittell

The HusbandsThe Husbands by Naomi Valkyrie
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

I found The Husbands to be an interesting read. Dorian and Augustine came together through traumatic circumstances. Dorian then built the relationship around a lie. Can we really expect things to last with a foundation of lies? From there, it just goes downhill. There is some mystery mixed in with the romance. I found the subject (polyamourous) just wasn’t my thing so the story just wasn’t relatable. Some of the issues that the wives went through and Augustine went through felt relatable. The struggle felt real. It was a hard story story to get into. This is just my opinion. However, I do recommend it if this your type of romance. This may be your cup of tea. 🙂

The Daredevil (WaterFyre Rising Book 2) by Nadia Han – Review by Kerry Carr

The Daredevil (WaterFyre Rising, #2)The Daredevil by Nadia Han
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

book in the WaterFyre Rising series. Even though it is part of a series it can definately be read as a standalone and it is still a great read. The author does an amazing job with the characters. Both of them are Daredevils in their own ways but they both have secrets and demons from their past that still cause them problems today. The author deals with sensitive issues such as eating disorders but it is done in a way that shows the last effect of these problems.

Michelle Yates is a travel blogger she loves new experiences and new places and by travelling the world it keeps her monster at bay. This monster she carries if given the chance will take over her life and she is refusing to allow that to happen so to protect herself she focuses on her work and closes herself off to any other person wanting to get close to her. That is until she meets Royce Viktorsson.

Royce Viktorsson is a successful Billionaire. He wasn’t always this way though and through the trauma of his past it has turned him into a risk taker. Nothing helps him heal the hole inside of him until he meets Michelle. She feels like just the person to help make him whole again, however she seems unavailable emotionally to him which makes him want to know why.

Both of these people have issues that they need to deal with but could they been the remedy to each others problems? As they start to get closer there is an additional danger lurking in the shadows. Someone is out to ruin Royce’s business and with Michelle getting close to him will this also put her at risk as well?

This story is full of danger, secrets, lies and a very passionate love that grows out of a unlikely place. You will be captivated by Michelle and Royce’s story and their journey to heal themselves and each other.

Thief (Popov Bratva Book 4) by Leslie Georgeson – Review by Shannon Fowler

Thief (Popov Bratva #4)Thief by Leslie Georgeson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Oh la la! This book is my favorite so far! Thief is the 4th book in this series but the second one I have read! All the books are intertwined but can easily be read in any order. Personally, I think I would start with book 1 (next to be read!!) Each book references other family members and situations and while it doesn’t take away from the current main characters, I bet the story would be better (if possible) knowing everyone’s story to date. Leah and Dom are the main characters in Thief and their meeting is a little unconventional and exciting and funny.

Dom is known as the Family’s car thief; his job is the last of the illegal business the Family has going. Dom knows he needs to find something else to do as he is feeling something is missing.

Leah is a singer/performer and the center of attention. Sometimes the wrong attention. Leah just wants to be happy, safe and seen for herself, not for her family connections.

This story includes some bad guys and some really, really bad guys. This author creates a world in which the reader can escape to for an exciting adventure. Looking forward to the rest of the stories for this family.

Beast (Popov Bratva Book 5) by Leslie Georgeson – Review by Shannon Fowler

Beast (Popov Bratva #5)Beast by Leslie Georgeson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

My first book by this author and what a great story. Adrik is a beast in all the ways he needs to be. He looks like a beast, he fights like a beast, he works like a beast and he loves like a beast! However, the one he loves doesn’t know he even exists. Interesting twist is she does see him. Annika is the Bratva princess he is ordered to protect. He has been watching her for a long time and when a real beast closes in on the princess, Adrik has to bring out his inner beast to protect and save her.

This is book 5 in the series and includes may other characters that may already have their own story written. I am definitely going back to read the others as this series/family is intriguing and exciting. I enjoyed both of these main characters and all their “flaws” which really are just personal characteristics. I am also glad to see there are other stories being written about the rest of the family.

I’d recommend this new to me author and her Bratva family to those readers who like a little action, a little romance, a little steamy adult time, and a little plot twist to wrap up a really good story.

Revenge Never Rests (Tallie Brown Suspense Book 2) by Laurie Lewis – Review by Erin DeRoma

Revenge Never RestsRevenge Never Rests by Laurie L.C. Lewis
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Lewis can certainly write suspense! Revenge Never Rests starts right where Secrets Never Dies leaves off. I highly recommend if you stumble upon this book not knowing it was book two, to pick up Secrets Never Die first (you won’t be disappointed). Lewis does a great job over-viewing the backstory so this could be read as a standalone but its truly worth it to read in order. Just like the first I was on the edge of my seat and couldn’t put it down. Knowing how disappointed I was that I had to put the first one down and couldn’t read it through in one sitting, I carved out my day and read this in one go! Truly clean suspense that leaves you screaming out loud.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

When I first started reading, I really didn’t think I was going to enjoy this. There were so many characters introduced and I was certain I was NOT going to be able to keep up with them, the amount of characters was truly overwhelming at first but every single one was brilliantly significant throughout the story. The plot had so many twists and turns I was truly on the edge of my seat, the suspense was too much to take at times in the best way. It was very hard to walk away from this book, not be able to know what happened next. If you love suspense and like to try figuring everything out before the end, this is for you.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

So far I love anything Libby Kay writes. Kay makes reading an ease. Her books are easily devoured in one sitting. Falling Home doesn’t fall short of that.
Falling Home is a fantastic Christmas Romance. I couldn’t put it down once I picked it up, never once did I lose my interest. There is something about Kay’s writing that I appreciate, I am not sure what it is but reading is truly effortless when reading Falling Home. Kay creates the perfect movie in your mind as you read.

The Daredevil (WaterFyre Rising Book 2) by Nadia Han – Review by M Policicchio

The Daredevil (WaterFyre Rising, #2)The Daredevil by Nadia Han
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Another thrilling installment in this series. This kept me on the edge of my seat the entire read. There is so much thought put into each character and how they overlap and interact.

Michelle is leading the life she wants to lead as a wandering blogger. Michelle’s ex-boyfriend had not only been controlling but just wanted her as arm candy. She was relieved that the relationship was over but he had caused her to lose all faith in love and relationships.

Royce didn’t believe in love. He had watched the tragic path of destruction it had caused for his mother and his aunt. Besides, Royce led a life most envied. He was a part-time volcanologist, full-time businessman, and modern day explorer. Thanks to some good business ventures along the way, Royce had the money to continue his lifestyle.

Royce and Michelle had met casually amongst their friends. But on a rain soaked night, when Royce appeared out of the dark to rescue Michelle, they both felt an instant connection. Was it friendship? Was it lust? Was it deeper than that?? As Michelle and Royce discover, their lives were more intertwined than either one knew.

This series is fantastic. The connection to the story is real. Looking forward to 3!!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Aww this book was sweet. Married couples sometimes drift apart. It was great seeing Max and Ginny reconnecting again. I think as humans we often fear missing out and we let the “what ifs” take over. However, the grass isn’t always greener. Sometimes what we need isn’t what we want. Ginny learned that lesson the hard way. Luckily Max never gave up on her. Perfect Christmas romance story.

This is actually the second novel I’ve read by this author and she’s easily becoming a favorite.

Falling HomeFalling Home by Libby Kay
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Communication is key to a successful relationship. One of the many lessons that is learned throughout this holiday rekindling romance. Falling Home is a sweet story about a couple who lost their way. One was selfish and one was selfless, but neither properly communicated. Leading to the demise of their marriage. The author writes a story about their growth apart as well as together now that they are back in each other’s lives.
But will it stay that way or is it temporary?
Ginny and Max were best friends turned lovers in high school. Continuing into marriage, which despite everything they had quickly demised. Ginny wanted bigger things out of life. So when the opportunity presented itself she left and filed for divorce blind siding Max in the process. And he let her go, thinking this is what she wants, and it’ll make her happy.
Max had an opportunity to lay down roots in their hometown. With Ginny by his side he knew they could do anything. But when she left he was devastated and heartbroken. Despite all that he pushed forward by telling himself, this is what makes her happy. Now that she’s back in town to look after her father, he has no intentions of letting her go. He’s hoping to utilize the time they have working on the Jubilee together to sway her to give them another chance.
The growth the author displays is exceptional. It reflects two people who love each other, but struggle to communicate and open up. It shows the steps they take now in regards to one another as opposed to the flashbacks of their past. Showing how far they’ve come. But will it be enough?
Will Max get his wife back?
This is one of those curl up on a rainy/snowy day holiday romances that you won’t want to put down. So grab a blanket and sit on a nice comfy chair, couch, ect and jump in.

This was a cute second chance romance read! I really enjoyed the holiday vibes in this one, and the small characters were so sweet. I wasn’t too enthused about it being a second chance book because I don’t really enjoy that trope much but this one was really good. It was great to see the characters reconcile. This book was also very well written I thought. It was funny, emotional at parts and tender hearted. This is the first book I’ve read from this author but I would love to read more in the future!

This was a wonderful story to read right before Christmas! It was a story filled with Christmas spirit and finding second chances at love. Ginny and Max were such a perfect couple and I loved how the author let us see the viewpoints of both of them and how both saw their marriage and their history. The secondary characters were fantastic as well. I can’t wait to see more of Natalie, Cece, and Evan. They all were such perfect characters and wonderful friends. I loved the meddling dad and his girlfriend, working behind the scenes to try and bring about a Christmas miracle. I loved how sweet this story was and all of the different foods that were made definitely made me want to try my hand at baking! I definitely recommend this story to anyone looking for a sweet Christmas tale about second chances at love.

This was a great sequel to the first book, Secrets Never Die. We get to know Tallie even better and follow her journey of still trying to figure things out. She has found out that her father is a man named General Cai Kaswell. She has been using the set of skills her mother taught her on tracking to help find people that have vanished. Unfortunately the father she just discovered is among the missing. Will she be able to find him? <br /><br />There is a lot going on in this book and it definitely keeps you on your toes. Just when you think you have the plot figured out and you know what’s going to happen you get thrown for a loop. If you like books like this I highly recommend taking this one for a spin.

What Actually Happened to Isaac Moore by Samantha J. Rose – Review by Francis O’Sullivan

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

What Actually Happened to Isaac Moore is an exciting nautical fantasy. There’s a long-lost map to a possibly real land full of treasure, it’s a classic story! But there’s so much more, unexpected twists and features along the way that make it stand out and keep the reader hooked.

I like how down-to-earth Isaac is. Like, at one point a character is carrying a ball of flame to light the way and he’s wondering why they don’t just make it into a torch to at least appear normal. Childhood lessons from his mother keep him grounded and persevering through the strange challenges he has to face.

There’s some fantastic world building in this story as Isaac enters into a magical, terrifying storybook world. Readers are really taken on a journey!

This book gets five stars from me! If you love pirate and adventure stories with plenty of fantasy elements give this a try, I’m sure you’ll enjoy it!

Ginny goes back to her small hometown to help with father due to him needing surgery. The only problem is she left that town and her ex-husband, Max, two years prior. Ginny’s ex-husband whom she hasn’t spoken to since she left two years prior. OF course, being home at Christmas time brings back nostalgia and second thoughts. Max finds he still has feelings for Ginny – will she find those feelings are still there for Max? This is a sweet Christmas romance – giving off vibes of a Kristin Hannah story.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is your typical boy wants to win sort of story. Boy wants girl, boy makes a bet. Boy gets girl. No, I’m just kidding. Honestly, this author winds this story up so tight that the reader will have a hard time breathing before the end of it. I caught myself holding my breath, wanting nothing more than to see this little flame and gust of wind collide into something enormous. And I can’t say I was disappointed.

All I need now is for someone to whisk me away on a romantic tropical holiday before the holidays to bring my spirits up. These characters, the world building and the dynamite chemistry between these two is undeniably one of the better reads when it comes to a romance tug of war. Pick this up, read it between the holidays and new years, and I bet you, you will have a better outlook on what’s to come. Highly recommend!

Falling Home is the first book in the A Buckeye Falls series. This is an excellent read if you want a second-chance romance set during the Christmas holidays. I fell for the main characters, Ginny and Max, quickly. I could relate to going home to help a parent, but not everyone has a Max pining for them. Ginny left the small town for a job and left everything behind for a new adventure. Max stayed in the small town and prospered in everything but love. Will the exes find their way back together? The story is sweet and filled with holiday cheer. I look forward to seeing what the next book in this series brings. This story definitely helped me get into the magical holiday spirit.

Joker’s Fool (Satan’s Devils MC #8) Audiobook by Manda Mellett – Review by Shelly Kittell

5/5  stars

Satan’s Devils MC M/M romance. We learn about Joker’s history in this chapter of the series. Sad, yet beautiful emotions are shared. Lady is Joker’s light in the storm. We learn how these two came together and dealt with their relationship among the MC. This author does a fantastic job writing the stories. I’ve always felt all the emotions and with this being audio, you feel it even more. Logan, the narrator, does an incredible job, putting his all into it. He is my favorite narrator. The story comes to life being narrated with audio. I love the characters. They are salty with effervescent personalities. A wonderful listen, even with all the f=bombs and curse words. Lots of steam but if you can get past that, it’s an enjoyable story that you will enjoy.

Taming Beckett (The Playmakers Series Hockey Romances Book 1) by G.K. Brady – Review by Lisa Helmick

Taming Beckett (The Playmakers, #1)Taming Beckett by G.K. Brady
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

So this one took me a while to read. I feel it was just overlong and to much internal dialogue for me. I liked the characters and was easily able to empathize with them on one hand. The other is frustration with the way they act and react. I understand Beckett and his downward spiral and Paige’s unhappy marriage but out of the two she is my most irritating. She has morals(to an extent) and is smart but she walks a gray line in the marriage side. So she frustrated me a lot. Beckett is honest and open about his past and doesn’t hide from it.

A few things I did like is the honesty of Beckett he really owned his mistakes. Also the advice from his Dad and brother is priceless. I wish there would have been a bit more of them.

Overall this isn’t a favorite one for me. Its an okay read but if you like a drawn out romance with a lot of angst this could be for you.

I absolutely loved this story. I loved that this was about an ex husband who never really got over his ex and that the ex-wife ran as far as she could. I also loved that Max (the ex-husband) had an amazing relationship with his ex’s father, because I think that an overlooked part of stories can be the people on the outside who are impacted by the divorce. This goes for in real life as well. I also truly loved that when Ginny came home to help her father, the entire small town she used to live in conspires for them. This truly left me feeling the happily ever after. I highly recommend this story.

I really enjoyed this heartwarming contemporary romance with a second chance at romance theme. Set in the small town of Buckeye Falls, Ohio, during the festive holidays, Ginny Meyer returns to her small hometown from New York, to help her father recover from surgery. She does not plan on involving herself in any of the usual festive events, such as, Christmas caroling and cookie decorating, and she is definitely going to stay away from Max, her ex-husband. However, Ginny soon finds herself helping out with the Christmas Jubilee, along with Max. Meanwhile, diner owner Max Sanchez has spent the past two years missing Ginny, after she broke his heart and left town. He’s willing to do anything to spend time with her now that she’s back, and luckily he loves Christmas.
Max hopes that his charm, some holiday cheer and his famous cheese enchiladas will make Ginny reconsider leaving again. Whilst embracing the holiday season Max can sense that Ginny is warning to the idea of staying in Buckeye Falls, but he might need a Christmas miracle to convince her to take another chance on love. I loved the main characters and felt the chemistry between Max and Ginny really came across in this sweet story. The descriptive narrative brought the small town setting to life, and I loved the feel of Buckeye Falls and meeting all the townspeople. An enjoyable and engaging read, and it left me with a real festive feeling!

Ginny and Max were married, high school sweethearts. Everything was great until their dreams seemed to fork in different directions. Ginny followed her dream job to New York and Max stayed in their hometown. A couple years later, Ginny finds herself returning to her hometown to take care of her father. When she can’t avoid running into her ex… she finds that her feelings for Max, while buried, are still very much there. Can they find a way back together again? Or is it too late for them to bring their paths back together again?

What a sweet story! I truly enjoyed reading this book. Ginny and Max’s story is a beautiful one that isn’t too far from reality to be believable. Both of them love the other deeply, but lost sight of their love by letting life get in the way. I love how Max never truly gave up on Ginny. Their heartache and struggle to find each other again is similar to a Hallmark story. This is a sweet, heartwarming read!

Falling Home is a sweet second chance romance is set in a small town in the magical holiday season. Where the snow is falling and trees are being trimmed and the magic of Christmas is everywhere. Well that is everywhere except where our female lead is at. The book is a good Christmas romance story. A quick read to be devoured in front of a fire snuggled up.
Ginny is dreading returning to the charming town of Buckeye Falls where she left it all behind but now her Dad is ill she has no choice but to return.
Max’s life has not been the same since she walked out of his life. Now she is back he vows to find a way to get her back in it. Can they put the past behind and make a new future? Can they ignite a spark that once was? All that and more will be answered when you grab a copy of this book. Why not grab a couple and give as Christmas gifts.
If small town second chance romances are your thing then Libby’s novels will do the trick.
