This is a great collection of stories by some great authors. There are some new authors and some of my favorite authors in this book. I enjoyed reading each story. Each one is unique and engaging.

There is something in here for everyone. This is such a great collection and for a great cause as well. I highly recommend this book.

Jake (Billionaire Blind Dates Book 1)Jake by Toni Denise
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

After another dating disaster Jake is not sure what to do. He definitely would like to find someone who can share his life with but he has a knack for picking the wrong woman. When his friends suggest blind dates through a dating app where the date literally is blind date. A date in the dark to really get to know one another. His four friends will each select a woman of their choice to see if a match is made. What happens though when Jake does find the girl he could see a future with is his friend’s assistant?

I enjoyed the story. I liked the concept of dating in the dark. Jake is charming and I thought the chemistry between Jake and Lauren was wonderful. It was delightful to see that they both are nervous about if their feelings are mutual and where it will lead. Thoroughly entertaining.

Ashali and the Blue Horseman by Jordan Elizabeth – Review by Tara Johnson Barnes

Ashali and her friend Miranda fully intend to make the most of their Spring Break and decide to go out to a club together. Miranda has no problem letting her hair down or meeting guys but Ashali, on the other hand, cannot seem to be as uninhibited as her friend. Until she spots Jase, that is, who Ashali feels inexplicably attracted to. Jase is good looking, polite, and charming so Ashali instantly feels at ease with him. Jase and Ashali immediately hit it off and Jase invites Ashali to come back to his house. This is something that Ashali would never normally do but she feels as though she can trust Jase and accepts his invitation.

Ashali is unsure what to expect when she gets to Jase’s home but decides to try to relax and get to know Jase better. What she never expected was to get kidnapped by a group of assassins that are known as Ives who want to use her against Jase.  As it turns out, Jase is a vigilante known as the Blue Horseman and Ives thinks he has something they want that will aid them in their sinister plot to take over the world. Of course, Ashali does not take well to being kidnapped and as it turns out she can hold her own against the bad guys. Before long Ashali and Jase have teamed up in a quest to uncover what kind of dark secrets Ives has been keeping.  Ashali and Jase are now in the fight of their lives as they battle evil and dark forces all around them.

I truly enjoyed this book and found it difficult to put down as the author drew me completely into the world of Ashali and Jase. I was surprised again and again as the book took twists and turns that I did not see coming. The character of Ashali comes across as being dainty, sweet, and innocent at first glance but as you read farther you discover that she has strength and mad fighting skills. Jase initially comes across as a bit of a playboy but as the story unfolds so does his character. As the story develops, we discover that Jase is the Blue Horseman, and that he is a force to be reckoned with. Together, Ashali and The Blue Horseman make a dynamic and unstoppable crime-fighting duo. This book was action-packed throughout and impossible to put down. I highly recommend!

Tropical Date (Postscript Island, #2)Tropical Date by R.S. Jonesee
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I really enjoyed this rom com. It is part of a series, however it can be read as a standalone and enjoyed just as much. I loved the characters, the author does an amazing job of making the characters relatable and their personalities jump right off the page.

The story is is set in a paradise where you can imagine falling in love would be easy. However the course of love is never straight forward and when it involves a past love then things just get even more complicated.
Add to the corruption and lies that are found in this book and it really adds an extra dimension to the story so it has something extra than just being a rom com

I love how the author brings in humour and innuendos to really highlight Marrisa and Westons past and the way they communicate with each other in this way really shows their relationship for the amazing connection it has. But will past events and current lies stop them from rekindling their relationship.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I have been a fan of this author for quite some time now. I really enjoyed this new series, the story was full of realistic moments, characters you cheered for, and moments that made your heart tender

I loved the story how it had its ability to be sweet more than once throughout the story Jake was a great guy. He had a heart of gold, who just wanted to find the person who would complete him. His heart made him who he was and I really admired that. I related to Lauren a lot. She had walls, for reasons she felt were justified. I loved her and Jake together, they had so much chemistry, and to me they were meant for one another. Sometimes fate has plans. such as their blind date. I love as usual, the author’s writing style and how the book weaves with the story! I enjoyed it very much! Loved it!

The story was amazing and heartfelt. I could not put it down. I can’t wait to read more in the series! This book alone is a must read for sure, and with no doubt, a high recommendation from this reader!

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

This is the 4th book in the Masters of the Consulate series. I have loved every single one of these books and I really recommend reading them from the start so you follow the full story. The author does an amazing job with these vampire romance books. There is so much more happening than just the romance, there is danger and traitors in each side of paranormal beings from the witches and the vampires. It is a fast paced story full of twists and turns that keeps the reader gripped from beginning to end

They now have to find a way to work together after years and years of being enemy’s.
The romance side is really well written I love how opposites attract and how even though they are ment to be enemies Romano and Raven can’t deny or fight the attraction between them.
Even though everything is telling them they can’t be together what do you do when you can’t fight destiny.
Will this bring the witches and vampires together to make them stronger against their enemies or will this union only serve to make the animosity between witches and vampires even worse.
Fighting against their attraction whilst also fighting enemies set on destroying both the vampires and witches are they going to be able to survive?

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I absolutely love this series with these seriously sexy men of the dark and each book gets deliciously better than the last.

Master Romano is the fourth book in the Masters of the Consulate in this paranormal vampire romance series. It is so easy to embrace the world of darkness with vampires and get lost amongst the pages of this dark tale. I have said it before and I will say it again the world building and characters make this tale enticing and delightful. Sylvia paints a vivid picture for a world that is harsh and yet comes with a deep sense of beauty that is hot…….

With paranormal beings, century old feuds, one particular sassy witch, some seriously sexy vampires and the Consulate the story is intense and keeps page after page turning. This fast-paced tale is full of suspense and is sexy mexy. Don’t miss out on this wonderful series.

These fanged lords of darkness (I love the authors description) will do anything to protect what is theirs even if it means going against and old order.

Make sure you read these books in order and start today because you are seriously missing out if you don’t.

I can’t wait for what comes next from Sylvia.

Jake (Billionaire Blind Dates Book 1)Jake by Toni Denise
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I was introduced to Toni’s work when reading Out of Time and I enjoyed her writing.

Jake is the first book in the Billionaire Blind Dates series. Toni has given a different spin on the usual Billionaire tropes. A novel idea of having to rely on other senses getting to know someone makes this one interesting read.

Jake wants someone to want him for him not how many 0.00’s he has. Lauren has lumped all rich men in the same category and money isn’t everything.

A blind date might just be what changes ideas, wants and misconceptions in this steamy romantic adventure. It is easy for the pages to keep turning and keeping you intrigued wanting to know how it all turns out I enjoyed the easy banter between the friendships of the male characters. You will definitely enjoy it.

I look forward to reading about the other four friends in their own books.

Imagine sitting at the beach with a cocktail in hand and a good book in the other well that is exactly what Tropical Date is.

I love a good RomCom and that is just what RS has given us. She is a new author to me and one I look forward to reading more of. This is the third book in this series but I have read it as a standalone and I didn’t feel like I was missing out. I will however be going back to read the others.

Tropical date is fun and full of all the things I enjoy in a romantic comedy. I mean my sense of humour had me laughing when a girl was hit by a bus in Bad Girls.

There is nothing straight forward on the road to love especially when there is a past between them which makes for some delightful barbs and puns.

With a beautiful tropical setting, delightful wit, lots banter, a condom company and a nudist colony I couldn’t help but laugh out loud. The delightful humour, wit and banter infused throughout this adventure added with a tad of mystery and a dab of danger there is something to delight your senses.

Oh, this author knows how to write a paranormal romance that will please a reader. Romano and Raven are the latest pairing in the Masters of the Consulate series. The drama, romance, adventure, and mystery all make for tremendously entertaining reading. Vampires, wolves, and witches with the mob thrown in are involved in the crazy war to find out who is behind trying take out the Vampires. Descalia, Lucianna, Embry, Lucas, Trentino, and others came to fill out this intriguing tale of love and suspense. The plot was enthralling. I was engaged from the beginning. I love this series because you can pick up where you left off just like you went to visit an old friend. Oh, but there is a cliffhanger and I’ll be eagerly awaiting the next book in the series. This is one of my favorites. You must read this. It would get more than 5 stars if I could give it.

Blind date. I have never been on one but this makes me want to maybe try it out someday. Jake is loaded with all the money he could want and all the girls that throw themselves at him yet none of them are who he wants after all, they all only want his money. Lauren is getting by as an assistant for Owen. She is living with a roommate who is toxic. Owen and his sister set Jake and Lauren up on a blind date and Lauren hesitates because of her past and fear that Jake will think she is just like all the other women. These two are adorable and the support that they have around them and family is everything.

I found this to be the sweetest billionaire romance. Our heroine is a sweet working girl. She’s just trying to get ahead. The sister of her boss hooks her up on a blind date with his billionaire friend. The whole “blind date” restaurant concept, what a crappy way to have a date. These two were pretty good sports. I found their chemistry charming and entertaining. He doesn’t want gold diggers and she doesn’t want to be viewed as one. They have some issues to work out. The tone of the story is contemporary and very engaging. I couldn’t put the story down. I’m looking forward to reading the series. Great romance that I recommend.

When friends make deals over a weekly poker game, what could possibly go wrong? That is what you will be asking yourself during the beginning of this book. The twists and turns that this book takes you on aren’t brought on by suspense or mystery but are more emotional than anything else. What happens when the leading female swears she will not date anyone who has money but her friend has another idea. When the leading male starts to let his friends know that he just hasn’t had any luck dating, his friends suggest he go on 4 blind dates and they all come to the agreement that if all his dates go horribly wrong they will let him be. However what both leads don’t know is that their fiends have set them up together and their first date doesn’t go smashingly well at first they do seem to have a connection. What happens when they find out they were set up by their friends? What happens when she learns he has money? What happens when she discovers that not only does he have money but he also draws attention from the media? This book is really well written and was very easy to read. I felt like the characters are completely relatable. I can’t wait to read the upcoming books in this series to see what happens with this friend group. If you have never read a book where you just feel like the characters are your besties, this one will do that for you.

She’s over it and would like to find a respectable man to date that doesn’t have loads in the bank. Someone who, like her, just wants to live comfortably, not lavishly. She also hates being thrust into the media. When her boss’s sister begs her to go on a blind date, she reluctantly agrees, thinking she will just get it over with to stop her from asking again.

Cover Designer – Cassandra Fear C & N Designs

A vampire seeking retribution. A witch who doesn’t know how to mind her own business. Will their newfound love survive the curse?

Master Romano has one task: settle the centuries-old land feud between the vampires and witches, once and for all. It will be far harder than anyone thought.

Especially, when he meets a sassy witch who captures his attention. The magnetic attraction draws him to her as though she were put on earth just for him. But she has secrets of her own.

Raven should be scared out of her mind, both by what the fanged lord of darkness wants to do to her, and how the coven will react if they learn she’s been helping the enemy who would like nothing better than to get rid of the witches for good.

But that’s far from her greatest problem. When the Consulate suspects Raven of being a spy, Romano is ordered to end her life to prove his loyalty.

Will the king of darkness turn against the woman he loves to maintain his seat on the Consulate or choose her as his mate instead?

Master Romano is the explosive fourth book in the Masters of the Consulate series by Sylvia Black. It is a deliciously dark, fated mates, forbidden love, vampire romance. You will love these novels where the passion is fiery, the loyalty is fierce, and the stakes are high. While the books in this series are standalones that feature different couples with a guaranteed happily ever after each conclusion, they are best read in order.

I love all things fairy tale retellings and this one was no exception. The characters were well developed and the situations were relevant to today’s society and what kids have to deal with. This is a great beach read that once you start you find you may finish it in one setting.

Ashley is the high school pariah, a social outcast that works with dead bodies to boot. A constant target for the popular crowd Ashley has but one best friend that seems like fate brought them together and maybe that’s not so far from the truth. Life is going to plan, avoiding her evil step mother and step sisters, to finish school and finally be free of them all with a little boost from her dad. Then enters Harry James, mega celebrity, who has been ordered back to high school after a few very bad decisions landed him in front of a less than sympathetic judge. Now all the girls are chasing him except the one that interests him the most. With all the forces working against them can Harry and Ashley ever make it to their happily ever after?

In this modern day Cinderella retelling, Harry and Ashley must fight against all the forces that are pulling them apart. With a little bit of meddling behind the scenes can they overcome not just the evil step mother and her nefarious plans but also a controlling publicist and popular girl determined to find her own fame. This is a very fast read but there is action from the very first page. I absolutely loved this book and cannot wait to see what happens next for the other characters!

What a fun and original read! A young adult, slow burn romance, fantasy that is appropriate to read for your teenager with fade to black scenes.
In this world, superheros are a common sight and they actively save the world and fight crime when the opportunity arrives. Ashali is your typical loner girl out on vacation with her best friend Miranda in Florida when she meets a handsome boy at the bar named Jase. A spontaneous decision to go home with Jase makes for a lengthy adventure of superheros, bad guys, a growing attraction neither party can deny and a discovery of one’s own ability to be a badass.

Ashali and the Blue Horseman is a bit of a superhero adventure story by Jordan Elizabeth. I was immediately intrigued as soon as I laid eyes on the title and cover- then the blurb sealed the deal for me.

This was a fun story with just the right amount of tension, action, intrigue, mystery, and romance to keep things interesting.

Ashali life is about to take an unexpected and action-packed turn. With an evil gang of assassins, a vigilante, secret identities, and much more- get set for a ride on the fun side.

I can see this making a great movie, or TV series.

Happy Reading!

The world of love and romance is full of ups and downs… and so is this book!
I was hooked by the characters, and continued to stay hooked by the complexity within the relationships. This book has everything a romance can offer – including second chances, drama, fate, high school sweethearts, and love triangles.
The characters were so relatable and real… and the story was both heartwarming and heartbreaking. Now I cannot wait to see what else is in store with this trilogy!

I Loved You Yesterday was beautiful, sweet, and heartbreaking. I loved it and I can’t wait to read the next one. A second chance romance as well as a love triangle to boot. The author weaved a web that could’ve left all the characters destroyed, but that’s not what happened.
Mavis and Joshua high school sweethearts. The love of each other’s lives. Well that was till Mavis disappeared only leaving a letter in her wake. Devastating Joshua, her brother Mitch and the rest of their friend group. 10 years have now gone by and Joshua wants to go after the one who got away, despite the feelings of others. He has no clue where to start besides a magazine story, till his twin brother drops a bombshell. He knows where she is.
Austin has kept Mavis’s whereabouts a secret and had every intention of doing so despite his better judgement. Mavis came to Austin in a time of need and support, not long after she disappeared. Austin became her comfort and secret keeper over the last 10 years. Little did she realize what that was doing to them.
Stuck between two brothers, how does one decide their feelings?
How will Mavis navigate the reemergence of Joshua in her life?
What will that mean for Austin?
The author keeps you on the edge of your seat to get to those answers. This book was well put together and though I could sometimes guess what was coming next. The author presented those scenarios in unexpected ways. Which I thoroughly enjoyed. I feel like anyone who gives this book a shot won’t want to put it down till they are done!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

At first I picked this book up for 2 reasons – one the cause the book was supporting and, two, the fact that C.A. King had contributed to the anthology. Any book with her name on and I will buy no matter what. It was a bonus that I recognised a couple of the other names too.
I am so glad that those reasons pushed me into reading this collection because I was completely taken in by them. The C.A. King book is definitely up there as my favourite. I always have such an affinity for her work and this book was the perfect example as to why! But the other stories all definitely held their own. I liked that they were all different from each other. The issue with anthologies I tend to find is that the books start to merge into one after a while but that was not the case with this one. They each stood their ground and shone through the rest.
I love the fact that this collection is for such a worthy cause as well. For me, it gave such an emotional edge while reading it and I was drawn in all the more. This is a fantastic collection of stories and I would urge everyone to buy it today.
