The Victor (The Freemasons #1)The Victor by Nicole Flockton
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This was a great 5 star read. I was pulled in right from the beginning.
Ava is nervous, she is going to ask her husband for a divorce and she’s not sure how he will react. Cole refuses to give her a divorce and actually has plans for her, and when he’s done then he will give her what she wants. Ava has never felt a part of his world, she isn’t into the glitz and glamor. Will she get what she want’s or will her heart decide something else?

Overall I really enjoyed this read and couple. My emotions were all over the place. It took me a bit to warm up to Cole because of his arrogance but he did grow on me. This was an emotional read in spots as the story moved forward. I read this in one sitting and I can’t wait to read more from this series. 1-click and get started today.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I hadn’t read anything by this author yet, but this first book in The Freemasons Series is a fantastic start! It hit me hard and pulled at my emotions throughout the story.

Ava decides that she wants a divorce because it’s time to move on. She hasn’t lived in the same house as Cole for six months and there’s no use in prolonging the inevitable. But when she presents her want for a divorce to him, he tells her no. Taken aback, she hears Cole out and agrees to his terms to work together for one last event. Spending so much time together brings many emotions to the surface for both of them. Will it bring them closer together or drive a wedge even further between them?

I have to say that the flow of this story is wonderful. I was drawn in from the beginning and constantly wondered will they or won’t they? Since reading this, I have been adding books by Nicole Flockton to my TBR list. I can’t wait to see what happens in the rest of the series!

Elemental Fire (The Hidden Realms #1)Elemental Fire by E.G. Manetti
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I really enjoyed Elemental Fire. The author put together a wonderful story from start to finish. I was pleasantly surprised. It’s rare that I read an elemental supernatural book, and some have even been hit or miss. This one definitely hit the mark! I even liked the main characters’ names. Unique and different.
Sin and Rad what a pair.
Sin a human who can see through the veil.
Rad a warden of the veil, a fire elemental also known as the flame lord.
These two are instantly attracted and intrigued by each other. Besides their attraction, they team up together to achieve a common goal. To stop the HPS from capturing, torturing, and killing the hidden. I don’t think Rad expected the asset that Sin would become, but he knew he had to claim her to protect her. Yet that didn’t prevent Lord Vatap from sending Sin on a mission that could’ve killed her. Also one she had to keep from Rad.
How does Rad feel when he finds out?
What will Sin do when she finds out Rad claimed her?
Do they figure out who was behind the kidnapping of Ciaran?
The author wrote a story that keeps you turning pages. Makes you want to know more. It’s not just a sci/fi fantasy but also a romance. So you get a little of everything. Makes me want to read more from this author. Also makes me want to look into more books with elementals as the supernatural being. For you, I suggest you read this one!

The Hunter: An Enemies to Lovers Romance (The Freemasons Book 2)

Dominic is the definition of intimidating and had no problem flexing to show how intimidating he can be. He will do whatever it takes to protect his fellow Freemasons and their secrets even if has to deal with Gemma.

Gemma is determined to expose the Freemasons for what they are, but has no idea what they really are. She learns things aren’t always what they seem.

The tension between them in their first meeting showed me what I can expect from these two and they don’t disappoint.

I’m really looking forward to reading the next book for a few reasons, one is because Jude is the next one to fall and I have a special place in my heart for guys that share my grandson’s name.

The only thing Ava wants from her husband is a divorce. She really wasn’t expecting him to say no to the idea, but he did and now she’s confused.

Cole had waited six months for Ava to come back home and he isn’t ready to let her or their marriage go. In an attempt to keep her close, he hires her to plan a fundraiser and at the end says he will agree to a divorce.

Now working so closely, feelings are rising and they’re forced to face what drove Ava away and kept her there. Is it too late to save their marriage or are they doomed to divorce? Who will be the victor?

This was a fun, sweet and light read. I absolutely adored reading about Ava and Cole and feel connected to the other characters as well. I’m looking forward to reading more in this series and possibly looking into other works from this author.

If you like romance, strong independent characters, and the idea of falling apart in order to fall back together, this is a book for you!

The Victor: A Second Chance Romance (The Freemasons Book 1)

I have read several books by this author and enjoyed each and every one. When I discovered there was a older series I had to start reading it ASAP.

Cole and Ava start us off and they did not disappoint. They hit a rough patch in their marriage very early on and haven’t been together since. Though Cole has a plan to change that.

Ava went through a lot in a very short time. She is ready to move on to the next stage of her life is she can convince Cole that they need to divorce.

Some drama but not as much as I would have anticipated, but there are secrets that cannot be found out.

Let the binge read continue!

I found another author to add to my favourites list. This is the first book that I have read from this author and it surpassed my expectations. I’m so happy that I found it. There was action, danger, adventure and romance. There was the added mystery of trying to slice a crime as well. There was magic and plenty of supernatural beings. They were not your run of the mill werewolves and vampires variety either which made it all the more interesting. I love that the author unfolded the story slowly. It constantly held my attention wanting to know more. I adored Sin and Rad together. Their chemistry was tangible and their connection was real. I loved Sin! She was down to earth, smart and sassy. When her powers awakened, she handled it well. Her not being able to control it, made the story realistic. She is going to become a powerhouse. I can’t wait to read the next book in the series.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

5 Stars! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Great Story!! The Hunter is Book # 2 in The Freemasons series and I am loving this series. I would recommend reading this series in order as characters in the first book continue into this second book of the series.

Dominic Cacciari will stop at nothing to protect the Freemasonary even if it mean to stop at a journalist, Gemma Hughes, who wants nothing more to expose this organization as she truly believe they are not only responsible for her father’s untimely death but other things as well that are downright bad. Dominic has a plan….feeling like he needs to keep Gemma as close to him as possible even though she has it out for Dominic and his friends to expose what she believes are hard truths. When Gemma is threatened in more ways than one, Dominic will do anything to protect her…or does Gemma believe that Dominic is responsible for the threats against her just to keep her at bay?

This story was fantastic and it flowed so easily and I had a hard time putting this book down. I love Dominic and Gemma together….even though at first I was not a big fan her Gemma’s character at all….but she grew on me and I ended up loving her. I love the details of secrets, lies, a brotherhood of men and some hot sizzling moments….I am looking forward to diving into book # 3.

This is book 2 in a standalone book that is part of a 4 book series. Our FMC is a reporter determined to figure out what is going on with the MMC’s friends and lodge. Lots of mystery and intrigue go along with this book, in addition to the heat between this couple. I haven’t read the first book but will be going back to it after finishing this one! The mystery surround the Freemasons, the dominating personality of the MMC, and the personality of the FMC are a winning combination!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Kendall is a female sports writer trying to survive at the small paper she works at. She is the daughter of a fighter so she knows the sport. When she is looking for her big story she didn’t count on meeting Chad, a fighter. He is everything she said she didn’t want but looks are deceiving. She is the distraction he doesn’t need. Reading about the strong pull they have left me wanting more but I feel the story was rushed more than I personally would have liked. I am always happy with the final outcome though. Still a very sweet and heart felt story.

Ok so I could not put this one down. Kendall is a sports reporter and also the daughter of a retired fighter. Chad is an underground fighter that really doesn’t want the attention a reporter would bring. The attraction they both feel is undeniable. She does not want to date a fighter and he is being trained by her dad. Will they be able to stay apart? Will she be able to discover his secrets?

The Hunter (The Freemasons, #2)The Hunter by Nicole Flockton
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Having read and enjoyed the first book in this series about a group of Freemasons, I was looking forward to this second instalment, and I was not disappointed. In this story, the focus is on Dominic Cacciari, who has sworn to ensure the integrity of the brotherhood of Freemasonry. However, he didn’t think this would include seducing the women who is determined to expose their secrets. Gemma Hughes is an entertainment journalist, and having lost her father under mysterious circumstances, she wants to find those responsible and get justice for her father. When her investigations lead her to the Freemasons, she’s suspicious as her father was once a member.
As soon as Dominic and Gemma meet their chemistry sizzles off the page, and once they touch neither can deny their mutual attraction, even though they both try to resist it. The more time they spend together the more the lines between love and what they are both fighting to protect become blurred. Secrets are threatened to be uncovered and danger lurks for the couple in this enemies to lovers romance. I was hooked from page one, and the plot kept me happily turning the pages well into the night. Although this can be read as a standalone story, I would personally recommend reading the whole series, as each book has been an entertaining and engaging read.

I was excited to start reading this book give how good the first was and book 2 certainly did not disappoint. The chemistry between the character in this book was obvious from the start and it emanated from each interaction. I love an enemies to lovers story and this is easily one of the great ones.
The story fit well with the characters, keeping pace with their strong connection. I was pulled into the story and everything going on. I wanted to see how things were going to work out. This is an author I have become increasingly familiar with and I always enjoy her work. If this series keeps going the way it is hen it is shaping up to be one of my favourites of hers for sure.

I went into this book expecting it to be a simple second chance romance but actually got something so much more emotional that I thought it would be. I enjoyed the connection between the main characters. They had history that could have got between them and yet they found a way to make things work.
The author really did so well to create a story that was full of emotional connections, romance and amazing characters. As the start of a new series this book shows great signs of what is to come. This book is well written, engaging and was such a great book to read. I can’t wait to start on book two.

This book was literally one of the cutest I’ve read in a while. This was exactly what I needed to get out of a slump!! I was hooked with the whole pets aspect of this and it revolving around pet shelters and shops. I really was having such a fun time reading this I liked the parts where they talk to each other as the pets it was adorable. I really connected with Georgia and her issues with asking for help and feeling the need to take care of everyone plus your own issues on your own. Hudson was a strong male lead and I adored him. This was an easy read and I highly recommend especially if you like pets being in books

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the first book in The Hidden Realms series and from this book it has the makings of a great series. This story is full of mystery and intrigue that keeps the reader gripped. I couldn’t put it down until I got to the end.
The author does an amazing job with the world and character building. I love the fantasy element and how Sin’s talent is seeing through the masks people wear. The addition of her trying to solve an art heist was just an additional element of Suspense.
The main story for me was between Sin and Radzik. Theirs is definately a steamy romance and I loved how a strong confident man like Radzik can be made to feel not so confident in his world and literally has it rocked by Sin.
I can’t wait to see where this story will lead us and I’m looking forward to the next book already.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I loved the idea of this story. It was just hard to follow along with at times. The story deals with a lot of politics in the life of these characters. There just seemed too much for me and I struggled to care about the characters. I am not sure what the problem was but I lost interest a lot and had to keep refocusing to get this finished. There are a lot of characters. The author did a good job bringing them in slowly and giving me time to know them before introducing another.

This definitely falls into the fantasy paranormal category with a light touch on romance. We become very involved in investigations of Sin (which was cool) and watching how she works is impressive. She is smart, inquisitive and has follow through. Rad is very impressive. We learn a little more about him as the story rolls along. He is mysterious.

I liked the idea but the story does not resonate with me too much which results in an okay story. It is propelled higher by the worlds and characters this author created.

If you are looking for a book that will give you all the feels, leave you grinning like a cheshire cat and at times literally laughing out loud, then this book is for you!

Hate You Later by Ciara Blume follows feisty, tough Georgia Starr. She’s on a mission to save the animal shelter and hopes the pet-infuencer challenge she entered her boxer mutt in will help. Can she do it without doing what she hates most, opening up and asking for help?

Enter Hudson Holm. He’s, handsome, wealthy and just so happens to be part of the family who is responsible for closing the animal shelter.

Georgia and Hudson clash like cats and dogs…but opposites attract!

This story had such great characters. The banter was so entertaining. I did not want to put this book down. The enemies to lovers trope is in full swing in this romantic comedy and I could not get enough!

What could possibly go wrong when a journalist on the verge of losing her job who needs a big story to save her career meets a super hot MMA fighter with a secret he wants kept under wraps. You need to read this great book to find out! Kendall and Chad have a connection right from the start, even if neither of them want to admit it, that only gets harder to resist the more they get to know each other. With Chad wanting his true identity kept secret, Kendall’s job definitely throws a spanner in the works but this creative author weaves a fabulous story for us all as we follow these wonderful characters through some very interesting times.

Kendall is a sports reporter in need of a juicy story in order to keep her job. Her father recommends checking out an MMA match, and this is where Chad is introduced to her life. She is intrigued both as a reporter and a woman, but Chad is stubborn and tight lipped – and also as caught up by the thoughts of her as she is by him.

Chad and Kendall have intense chemistry that pulls at them in spite of her job and his reclusiveness. While this read is short, it packs a punch and has characters you will love.

This is a nice story of a man and a woman on the verge of divorce. The story revolves around them but leaves little tidbits of some bigger going on with the Freemasons. There is very little movement in the big secret of the Freemasons. Some action in that area would have been good to beef the story up a bit. The characters are good. This is a second chance romance between a married couple. They have good tension between them. I liked Cole as he was trying to do anything he could to keep Ava around.

This is an author that I have enjoyed reading from the first book.  I was excited when I was able to listen to my first audiobook by her.  This is a great story that the narrator brought to life with the different tones in their voice.  They kept the story engaging and had me coming back for more.  A story full of romance and will pull at your heartstrings for sure.  I enjoyed how connected the characters are.  This is the first book in this series and what a great start it is.  This is a great audible book and I look forward to listening to more in the future.  I highly recommend this audible book.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the first book in the Freemasons series. It was a really good read. I loved how passionate Cole is about Ava and how Ava has grown in confidence and independence however this increase in confidence has also made her blind to what is in front of her.

This story was heartbreaking to read in parts. To see how a couple so in love could fall apart when tragic events hit and communication is lost. Instead of turning to each other in their time of need they pushed each other away until the gap between them seems so huge they will never be able to close it. Or so they thought.

When Ava turns up at a charity event to speak to her estranged husband Cole she had 1 goal in mind. She wants a divorce. After all Cole doesn’t want to be with her. He only married her out if a feeling if obligation so its going to be easy to get a divorce right?

Cole on the other hand has other ideas. Cole is devoted to Ava and has no plans on letting her go. He assumes the words he isnt saying is enough for her to realise how much he loves her. When Ava asks him for a divorce he is shocked and dead set against it. He needs to make her see and remember how good they were together so he comes up with a plan.

If Ava will work for him to plan this charity event for the Lodge he will grant her the divorce she so desperately wants.
And so his plan of action to win her back starts. Can this couple finally learn to open up and communicate? Can Ava see how much Cole loves her? And will Ava be able to resist her attraction and feelings for Cole when they are living and working together?

It is a very powerful story and one quite a few couple may go through and relationships end because of the same reasons that Cole and Ava has.

I really enjoyed this paranormal romance read. The story was engaging from the very beginning and I really liked the characters. I felt like they had a great connection which carried through the story. I’m still relatively new to paranormal stories especially shifter ones so I found that part really interesting to read about. The setting for the story was pretty unique too which added something a little extra to this book. I liked Ryker and Wednesday both were really unique characters to read about. There was a definite attraction between them even if they tried to ignore it!
Overall a wonderful story that was beautifully written!

You cannot go wrong with these books! Whether reading or listening the author and narrator is so good at keeping the readers attention and telling the story so that the reader is left wanting more. I love that while I have snagged this series every chance I get, these books can be read by themselves or in order. I also love the series that break off from each of these books. 10/10 readers will not be disappointed with any book this author gives us!
