Ashes (Modern-Day Fairy Tale Book 1) by MK Harkins – Review by Jessica Stone

This book is a modern take on Cinderella, and wonderfully done in my opinion. With out giving away to much Ashes, is about a young girl named Ashley(ironically enough) who if forced into serving her wicked step mom and step sisters and work in her stepmothers recently acquired mortuary after her fathers recent death.
Harry is a handsome and troublesome bad boy musician who is being forced to attend her school after getting into some legal trouble and this is where their worlds collide. It is a classic, she doesn’t want anything to do with him, and he wants no one’s attention but hers, which she obviously won’t give to him, everyone is fighting to keep them apart troupe.

Ashley is strong independent and snarky and hilarious trying to navigate losing her father who was her world, and Harry is a bad boy rockstar, who may have a strong exterior but inside he’s fighting his own battles.

All and all very well written, I always find quick witty banter between characters to be refreshing, it helps for me to fall in love with them.
The author did a wonderful job in bringing just enough information about each character (including the side characters AND villains) to build the story but not make it feel like an overload of unneeded information. I believe this book can be read as a standalone but I’m hoping for more in this series, for me it was a quick read but that’s because once I started, I couldn’t stop. So if you’re looking for a good, YA, Cinderella, modern day retelling give this book a read, you won’t be disappointed.

This book was an absolute whirlwind. I’m not the biggest fan of Stephen, but who knows what the 5th book will bring. There is a very intense and graphic scene about 80% percent through the book, but compared to the first, it’s pretty tame. I started this book early in the morning waiting at the mechanic, and I meant to just do a little reading before bed, but before I knew it, I was sucked in and lost in the writing. I 100% recommend this book and the other books in this series!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Jake by Toni Denise is book 1 in the Billionaire Blind Dates series. This was definitely a good book. I actually really loved the concept of the blind date where you don’t even get to see your date prior. I think that would be fascinating! Jake agrees to go on a date that each of his best friends choose. Will one of them be his dream girl? Or just another one after his money? Lauren hates rich guys and doesn’t like how they flaunt their status. But she agrees to go on a date that her friend chooses. The chemistry is obvious but Lauren is trying to take it super slow. After a while they figure out who the other is accidentally, is it going to be too much? Truly loved this book and the concept, can’t wait to read about the other boys! I hope his one particular friend gets what’s coming to him!

Yet another wonderful book full of mystery! I think this might be my favorite Fitz book so far! I was completely sucked in and finished it in a few hours. I love that we got to see more with Hudson and Stella in this book, and more from MJ, Andy, and Fitz’s dad. There were so many things the author absolutely sidelined me with, and things I for sure didn’t see coming. I honestly can’t get enough of this series. It’s so well written, executed well, and a fantastic read all around. Definitely recommend.

Aloha Series Box Set Books 1-3Aloha Series Box Set Books 1-3 by Jill Brashear
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The Aloha Series books 1-3 by Jill Brashear were perfectly written, fun, witty and dangerous. I loved the insight on the characters from the other book but not too much that it took away from their individual stories. I was so happy to have read all three books in one. It was really great not having to wait for each book. The author really makes you wish you were a local from Hawaii.

Try Easy. Oh man I loved Keoni and Lou’s story. What person wouldn’t want to be swept away in Hawaii? Lou has her life planned out but when she and her best friend take a vacation to the incredible islands of Hawaii, everything changes. Keoni is much like a celebrity in Hawaii. A talented surfer and amazing person, he doesn’t dislike anything except tourists. But almost two weeks with Lou isn’t enough. The pair are drawn to one another and have to figure out if they want to make it work. I was obsessed!

Try Right. This was such a cute story. Declan has an image, a reputation and does what it takes to protect that because he just wants to surf. Pearl just wants to fulfill her mother’s legacy and dream. I didn’t think I’d do desperately want to take up surfing because of a book but I’d definitely try it now. Pearl and Declan just fit together and I’d really love to see more of their relationship and how her career pans out.

Try Me. I didn’t read up on who this was going to be about before I started and I was very surprised at who the author chose for this book. Claudia has history with the islands, but she hasn’t been back since. She had a fling the summer she came and now wants it back. That is until she meets Henry. Henry is used to danger but it seems women are a different danger for him, especially Claudia. I really enjoyed their romance story. They were sweet, funny and it felt right.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

When Mavis ups and leaves her high school boyfriend, family, and friends…she fully intends on leaving the past there and move on somewhere else. She leaves a note for Josh and confides her secrets to Austin (Josh’s twin brother). Austin keeps that secret for 10 years. However, as Josh is going through a divorce, he stumbles upon the note left all those years ago and wants to find Mavis. When he finds out the truth, will he still believe he loves her? Is Mavis ready for the slap of reality when her past shows up? How will she be able to choose between them?

Mavis, Josh, and Austin are all characters that feel so real! This story really pulled me in and held me hostage from beginning to end. I could almost feel the struggle between having to choose between the one you loved and the one you don’t want to hurt. Overall, a good story!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I loved Jake! I can’t wait to read the rest of the books in this series. It’s such a fun concept. A dating app/restaurant, but in this particular case their friends are setting them up on the blind dates.
Jake isn’t having any luck in love and relationships. All the women who want him, only want his money and status. They don’t want to know who he really is. Until one night a poker game among friends changes things. They convince him to join this dating app to go on blind dates. The blind dates are in a restaurant attached to the app, that’s in complete darkness.
Lauren is a mess. A horrible roommate that makes her late for work and wants her out. Cade and Catherine are the angels she never knew she needed. Lauren is Cade’s secretary and Catherine is his sister but also does company PR. Catherine convinces Lauren to let her set her up on the blind date app. Little does Lauren know, she knows the person that she was set up with.
This book is Lauren and Jake’s story and how they navigate the app, plus their differences in social status. Having different types of obstacles along the way, the author keeps you intrigued. Keeps you rooting for them throughout.
The beginning of a sweet and entertaining series. Bring on Book 2!

Master RomanoMaster Romano by Sylvia Black
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I don’t think there’s enough words to describe how much I love this series. Master Romano rates right up there with the rest. If you love vampires this series is definitely for you. I’ve always been obsessed with vampires and shifters. So anytime I come across a book of that nature it takes a lot for me not to read it. This author is no different.
The Vampires and witches are at war and Isala has gone rogue. Master Romano can’t be trusted, or can he? Overmaster Descallia has his doubts. So he sends Lucas to Romania with Romano to keep tabs and report back to him. Overmaster Descallia leads with an iron fist and is well respected in the vampire world. Also the way his character is written in this particular book reminded me why I love him so much!!
Anyway back to Master Romano and his new witchy friend Raven. Raven sees through the propaganda about vampires. Was she raised to be scared of them? Absolutely! Is she afraid of them? Absolutely not! She’s actually just as intrigued in Master Romano as he is her. Which is a big faux-pas. Witches and vampires can not counter mingle, they are at war. Despite Descallia’s peace efforts. Unfortunately, like the rest of the books in this series you get a bit of Devora and Descallia going head to head.
Do they track down Isala?
What happens if they do fine her?
If you’re stumbling across this series for the first time, please go back and start with Master Descallia(book 1.) And if you’ve read the first three I don’t know what you are waiting for.
Me? I’m waiting for book 5, and while I do so I’m going to start again. I feel like this series will be the series that keeps on giving each time you read it!

Okay where does one begin. Tropical Date, I liked it but I didn’t love it. And because of that, I might actually read it again to see if my feelings change. I enjoyed the concept the author created, unfortunately I felt the pace to be a little slow. I’ve read quite a few second chance romance novels recently and though this one wasn’t my favorite, I know there’s people out there who will love it! Especially with the mystery added in.
Weston and Marissa were high school sweethearts, till they weren’t. Weston walked away from everything because he couldn’t handle it. If he couldn’t be with Marissa he couldn’t be near her.
Leaving his island home with no intentions of returning, till his mom gets a strange offer for her store. Weston comes back to investigate and he’s pulled like a moth to Marissa’s flame. One problem is that she’s seeing someone…
Will Weston fight for her?
How does the dynamic change once they are back in each other’s universe?
Also who wants to buy up island land, and destroy what island life is all about.
Keep an open mind as well as track if you want to track the author’s movements from page to page. Enjoy it!

I'm Not Your Difference (Fitz, #4)I’m Not Your Difference by Theresa Sederholt
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Theresa Sederholt always knocks it out of the park, and this is no different! With the family together again in the fourth book of A Fitz Series, there is drama, romance, suspense, and murder. The flow of the story is amazing, and I continued to enjoy the different points of view throughout.

Andy is no stranger to the prejudices towards gay men, but now he also has Parkinson’s which adds an extra level of difficulty in every area of his life. His daughter, Stella, means the world to him with her strength and resilience. Helping her grow into her own path with her deafness and her deceased mother seems to present its own unique struggles, but he finds a delicate balance with the help from his family. Andy’s ex, Stephen, tries to rekindle their flame but Andy knows there is no way back to the love they once had. All too suddenly, a serial killer intent on murdering gay men changes their lives forever.

I read this in record time because I could not get enough. With so many unpredictable turns in our wonderful characters’ lives, I needed to know what happened as soon as humanly possible. You will not be disappointed in this jaw-dropping book!

Ashali and the Blue Horseman by Jordan Elizabeth – Review by Shannen Kern

/0 Comments/in /by

There is no lull in this entire book! It is nonstop action from beginning to end and I breezed right through it. I loved that Ashali is a force to be reckoned with.

Ashali is spending Spring Break with her friend in Florida where she runs into Jase. He seems like a nice guy but sometimes appearances can be deceiving. It turns out he is actually a vigilante, the Blue Horseman, who Ashali was never very fond of. She has some secrets of her own though and it was fun to see each one come to light.

Ashali and the Blue Horseman is a great sci-fi meets romance with a lot of adventure. This is a book I found incredibly easy to visualize which is always fun! I recommend picking this up and absorbing the world created by Jordan Elizabeth.

I'm Not Your Difference (Fitz, #4)I’m Not Your Difference by Theresa Sederholt
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Read this if you:
*Enjoy romances filled with suspense and mystery
*Like a fight for family and love
*Believe in living in a world without labels

Meet the Author: Theresa Sederholt loves to write and tell stories. Her passion lies within bringing awareness and understanding by dealing with subject matter that is intimidating to navigate. She enjoys whipping up steamy romances filled with suspense, sprinkled with mystery. When not writing, she enjoys cooking with her husband, spoiling the dogs, and spending time in her backyard.

Synopsis: Andy has taken on huge responsibilities in his life, dealing with a diagnosis of Parkinson’s and adopting a deaf child whose mother is murdered. Stephen decides this is all too overwhelming and leaves Andy to fend for himself and Stella alone. When Stephen realizes he made a huge mistake he comes back to Andy. Amongst this, there is a serial killer on the loose targeting gay men. The murders are being deemed as suicides. Andy’s brother Fitz doesn’t believe these men are committing suicide and begins to investigate. When Stephen and Andy end up on the “to be murdered” list, Fitz kicks his investigation skills into high gear. Will he be able to track the suspect before it is to late?

Reader’s Thoughts: This was my first time reading a novel written by Theresa Sederholt. Although I’m Not Your Difference is the fourth book in the Fitz Series it can be read as a standalone. The characters in the novel sent me on an emotional roller coaster ride. At times I disliked Stephen for what he was doing to Andy. And at times I wanted Andy to realize how remorseful Stephen truly was. The love Andy shared with Stella tugged at my heart strings. And the selflessness displayed by Andy…….WOW! MJ and Fitz as side characters really brought life to the story. I cant wait to get my hands on the remainder of this series.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

An enjoyable and entertaining romantic comedy, which gave me some pure escapism whilst reading it, as I was transported to the tropical Postscript Island and the P.S. Resort. Painter Marissa and the now billionaire condom manufacturer, Weston have a difficult past, but now they have come face to face again on the Island. After Weston fled to the states, Marissa threw herself into her painting and is now studying for an art degree, whilst helping her parents run the resort. She’s also dating again, but although the local cafe owner is sweet he’s also safe. Her life is turned upside down when Weston returns to the Island to help his Mum sell her boutique.
Weston, who bought a small condom manufacturing plant, which turned out to be very successful and profitable is now a billionaire, living the perfect life, or so he thought, until he saw Marissa again. The couple need to decide if they can put the past behind them if they are to have a future. I loved Marissa and Weston and their chemistry definitely came across in the narrative, leading to some steamy scenes. I liked the witty banter between the couple and the innuendos added humour to the story. I liked the ‘will they won’t they’ element of the storyline, and the added plot twists, involving a mystery kept me hooked from start to finish. Although it can be read as a standalone story, I look forward to reading the previous books in the series now, so that I can return to the P.S. Resort!

Aloha Series Box Set Books 1-3Aloha Series Box Set Books 1-3 by Jill Brashear
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I literally ‘binge read’ this box set, of the first three books in ‘The Aloha Series’, and I thoroughly enjoyed all three stories. Each of the historical romance stories are set in the tropical islands of Hawaii in the late 1960’s. The author does a wonderful job of making the beautiful setting of Hawaii come to life through her descriptive narrative, which made me feel like I was actually there, and immersed in the stories. In book one, ‘Try Easy’, we are in 1968, and introduced to heroic surfer, Keoni and tourist, Lou, in a slow burn vacation fling romance. Then in ‘Try Me’, the steamy romance involves a fake relationship, between champion surfer Declan Bishop and Pearl who is determined to become the first famous female surfer.
In ‘Try Right’, a friends to lovers romance leads to souls mate finding each other. Claudia was a famous Hollywood actress, but now she can only get a bit part role in a tv series filmed in Hawaii, along with fearless stuntman Henry. Henry agrees to help her find her first true love, a heroic surfer that she met, but as the couple get closer, maybe he’s not Claudia’s soul mate after all. Each of these enjoyable and engaging retro romances are standalone stories, but do have some crossover characters. These heartwarming stories had me hooked from start to finish, and I felt transported not only to the heat and beauty of Hawaii but also to the 1960’s, by the added historical details. The characters are well defined and the chemistry between the couples comes across in the narrative, and I was cheering them on hoping they would all get their HEA. I definitely recommend this box set, which had me happily turning the pages.

Weston comes back to the island and back into Marissas life as they work together to find out about the developer trying to buy up a lot of postscript island.
This was a well written book. It had a good mystery and love story all in one.

The Aloha Series
By: Jill Brashears
5*

This box set is meant to ‘binge’. It contains the first three books in The Aloha Series. I have to say that this is a bingeable box set. It took me two days to read, which is faster than how I usually read. All three books are based on finding love and happily ever afters. I love all three so much but for very different reasons.
The first book was Try Easy. This book takes place in the past. It focuses on the romance of Keoni and Lou. Keoni is a surfer and Lou is a tourist. This book has a will they or won’t they feel. It tells of natural chemistry between two people who are fighting it. I truly enjoyed these characters and this story.
The second book is ‘Try Me’ it focuses on the relationship of Declan and Pearl. Both characters are introduced in Try Easy. These two are in a questionable / fake relationship but they have chemistry to burn.
The third book is Try Right. Once again, it focuses on characters that were introduced in book one. It focuses on Henry and Claudia. Their relationship is one of those tales of friends who become more than friends.
These books are such easy reads. I loved the relationships and how relatable they are. I also love how these books were heavily reliant on natural chemistry. They were written in such a way that you could envision yourself with them or in these positions and root on the characters. Sometimes I wanted to yell because they characters were not seeing the chemistry they had for one another.
I know summer is coming to an end, but these books would make the perfect beach reads. They are set in Hawaii and reading them would be the perfect end of summer read, in my opinion.

This book was a phenomenal romantic comedy that I didn’t want to end. And it’s a perfect summer read by the pool or ocean. I wasn’t sure what to expect as this is an author I’ve never read before, but I will certainly be looking into her other books now. If they are anything like this one they will be fabulous. I laughed so hard at the sarcasm throughout this book. I loved that the main business is a condom manufacturer. I’ve never read a book with that type of business, and it just made for even more laughs and witty innuendos. I highly recommend this book if you want to laugh your behind off. You will not be disappointed.
