Murder Most Pemberley (Eliza Darcy Mysteries Book 1)Murder Most Pemberley by Jessica Berg
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I really enjoyed this cosy romance. I loved the reference to Jane Austin and the connection the author makes. I really loved Eliza’s character. She is a determined lady and when she wants to solve something you can be sure she will solve it.
Our story is based in the English countryside while men are gentlemen and ladies are supposed to act like ladies. Eliza travels there to visit her family and to find out just what happened between them and her father. However like most families there are the nice people and also the not so nice people and some are just plain crazy.
When murders start to happen Eliza realises she needs to solve more than just the family history.
This book is a fun Cozy Mystery which will have you laughing with a sprinkle of romance and a touch of danger this book is a captivating read.

The Liminal Space (Antipodes #2)The Liminal Space by T.S. Simons
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the second  book in the Antipodes Series and it was just as intriguing as the first book. The characters are well developed and the book is easy to read. The story keeps you hooked all the way through as you follow the journey of the characters as they adapt to their new way of life.

Cam has matured in this book and after hearing that someone he loves could still be alive he sets out to find them. The journey is challenging and makes him question things he knows and thinks about love and loyalty. The main question is if given the opportunity to redo life would you take the same course with the same mistakes or would you change your plans maybe for the better or maybe for the worst.

It’s a really thought provoking theme and set in time when the world is destroyed by a disease  and only few people surviving its an interesting concept.

Emotional and romantic
This engaging read gave me all the feels. TJ has such a big heart and Katrina faces so many battles. The author knows how to weave a romantic tale that pulls at the heart strings. The dual POV made for a deeper connection with the characters.
Highly recommended for lovers of contemporary romance.

Key to His Heart by Kristina Beck

Holy Cow that is not what I expected at all. This is a Contemporary Romance that once you start reading there’s no stopping until you finish. I truly felt like I connected with the characters especially TJ. He loves big and I mean big he pretty much stole my heart from the beginning. This is a story about TJ and Kat and the journey they go on for love. Kat has had a lot of changes in a short time and is a single momto toby.Tj is an ex-football player. There may be some parts of the story that may be a trigger for some but if you can push through the story is worth it. The chemistry between these two is incredible and the love TJ has for Toby will melt your heart. Can Kat be the one who unlocks his heart? Can these three have a family like relationship? I don’t want to give to much away . This book is more than worth the read. I highly recommend reading this book to find out what happens next. I look forward to reading more from this Author.

Amber Waves of GraceAmber Waves of Grace by Jessica Berg
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I love me a good, for lack of a better word, “smut” book. This was quite the opposite which I found rather refreshing. I’ve read some religious romance books before and they’re usually quite sweet but really dry in the romance department. Which isn’t a bad thing just not usually my thing but I like to give all books equal opportunity before I judge them. Boy am I glad I did.
Amber Waves of Grace was very sweet but not too sweet. I like that there was several “Love stories” going on in the story. My favorite was between main characters Aaron & Corrie. I loved being able to see how they would get passed the past and the age difference. I loved the growth and healing that happened between the characters. There was some suspense and mystery that made the story more interesting. All in all a great story. I absolutely loved it!

Watcher (Star-Crossed Celestials Duet #1)Watcher by A.L. Morrow
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

 

4 Stars

 

Watcher is the first book in the Star-Crossed Celestials Duet by A.L Morrow. It takes ‘Romeo & Juliet’ and gives it a bit of a twist. This retelling comes with a MM paranormal romance and celestial spin which was definitely an extra element of interest for me. It’s full of fantasy, forbidden love, banter, humour, action, drama, celestials, demons, tension, and agendas.
I don’t want to give too much away and spoil it for you, because if you love your retellings with some fantasy and a sexy twist- then you are definitely going to want to read this story for yourself.
The story is set to continue in the next instalment…. Can’t wait! Bring on Book #2!
Happy Reading!

Thank you, A.L. Morrow!

 Eat a crumpet. Check. Say “bloody hell” in an English pub. Check. Solve three murders and fall in love? Definitely not on the list. But when England dishes up murder, even an American girl knows it’s time to channel her inner Agatha Christie. 

American Eliza Darcy travels to Merry Old England to partake in a Darcy/Bennet family reunion for one reason: to solve the estrangement between her father and uncle. Not long after Eliza’s arrival and exploration of the vast estate of her ancestors, a dead body surfaces. Murder and mayhem replace afternoon teas and flirting with her British heartthrob. Eliza has every intention of keeping her snoot out of official Scotland Yard business, but when clues to the murder begin to merge with her investigation into her family’s rift, her inner wannabe sleuth self-activates. 

With the help of her batty great-aunt and the sexy Heath Tilney, Eliza hurries to untangle the web of lies and secrets. As corpses start to pile up faster than the clues, Eliza fears the estate’s family graveyard will swallow another body: hers.

Kiss a Thief by Marina Hanna – Review by Angela Hayes

KISS A THIEFKISS A THIEF by Marina Hanna
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

 

3.5 Stars

 

Kiss A Thief by Marina Hanna is a fun contemporary romance with an insta-love aspect to the story- as well as sizzling chemistry, steamy encounters, humour, tension, crime and investigation, a little mystery, trust issues, and angst.
Billionaire Dylan Knight meets Mia Harris and the sparks fly right from the get-go. They can’t get the other off their mind and soon find themselves on the insta-love train to forever after. But are there hidden agendas at work? Was there an ulterior motive to their meeting? Is one being set up to take a fall? Because when theft occurs, they are both set to lose.
I really liked Dylan and Mia, I thought they were really great together and I didn’t mind that they fell hard and fast. I connected with them easily and was invested in them and the outcome of their story right from the beginning.
I have read a few of Ms. Hanna’s books now and have loved them- but unfortunately this one didn’t have the same effect on me as the others did. I really wanted to be wowed, like I was with the others, and I wanted to adore this book so badly, but ended up just a little disappointed. I felt that the beginning of the story was a little slow to get going… but then the last part felt rushed as threads were ‘tied up’ a little too quickly and conveniently. Things that were made quite an issue in the story suddenly didn’t seem to matter much anymore, or were brushed over/aside. Don’t get me wrong, I did enjoy the story, but felt it wasn’t as ‘strong’ as some of her other books.
This story also introduces us to the characters who will get their own books in the future- setting us up for at least two more books. I am looking forward to ‘Before You Say I Do’ (Liam and Emma’s story) and ‘My Crazy Heart’ (Zack and Melanie’s story).
Happy Reading!

Thank you, Marina Hanna!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

A Romeo and Juliet story that has angels and demons AND promises a happily ever after?! I cannot wait to see how this story goes… Jace sounds like mister all powerful, mysterious in his pain and struggle.. but to see him go on the defense of those being hunted is amazing.

I love how strong and protective a character Jace is with whoever he’s around. Even when he’s with his lovers, he tries to distract them from their pain and help them. Genuinely wants to do better for them than those who came before.

Cyrus is just brilliant, smart, and intelligent. He has that way about him. Everyone loves being around him, and when he and Jace meet they are amazing together.

Like any good romance novel, there’s just the right amount of drama, charm, and action to keep me going. I definitely love this book, and I look forward to the next!

My rating: 3 of 5 stars

I’m not sure how I felt about this story. I enjoy period pieces while watching movies, so I figured I would give a book a try. Love in the Roses was a sweet romance. One that you can tell by reading that the author put a lot of thought and research into. Getting the language and the dialect of the time, to setting a premise taking the reader back to that time. As if they were living during that time.
Isabel, is now of age to be married off. Her family is well off but in those times it was about strengthening your place in society. Picking the right husband and family is the best way to complete that task.
Sir William, a knight, who has been given that right to prove himself worthy. Not only to himself and his new betrothed but to family as well. Raised to become a night since he was 7, he knows what it takes to defend one’s honor and country. But does he know how to love and run a home?
This story is about their adventure together learning and growing together and showing the community who they are. It’s a well written period piece and though this particular one wasn’t my thing it’s definitely worth the read. Especially if you enjoy period pieces.

Antipodes is a YA Dystopian novel about a young man named Cam Mackintosh who is chosen to help build a new community on an Australian island after an outbreak threatens to destroy the planet. This book has amazing world-building and a well-written plot. I enjoyed the way the characters were written and it was wonderful seeing if the characters would make the same mistakes that were made in the past or would they learn from the mistakes made before them. I really liked Cam and could not put this book down. I look forward to reading the next book in this series.

Saved by Love (Bellevue Bullies #7)Saved by Love by Toni Aleo
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book had a bit of everything and didn’t disappoint. I haven’t read the rest of the series before jumping into this book but I will be reading every book in it now. The book tackles serious issues but with a sense of dignity and class that is not always given in your typical sport romance books. It is based around hockey and the leading male character shows huge growth throughout the story. The leading female character seems to be the perfect match for the main man. She has a job that requires her to pay attention to non-verbal ques from others. This sets the tone for some serious topics which are eye opening and allows you to fully connect to the characters in the book. This was a good quick read but not one that you read and completely forget within a few days. It makes you become fully immersed into the book and the details allow you to feel like you’ve been reading it forever when you haven’t. I don’t mean that in a bad way but when you don’t want a book to end because it is so good, you get that feeing with this one but don’t feel like the books ends out of no where. I can’t wait to go back read the rest of this series. I highly recommend if y’all have a day to devote to reading, this should be the book y’all pick up.

This book was intoxicating! I could not put it down… This slow burn REALLY kept the longing going, and held twists and turns to keep me intrigued. So much adventure, friendship, growth, and love!
My heart ached for many of the characters… only wanting all of the happiness they deserved and dreams they had to come true.
This was my first read of Debbie Cromack’s work, and now I am hooked! Her writing was addictive and drew me in deeper with every chapter. Emotions were woven into every word that the characters spoke to each other, as well as in their private thoughts. And let me tell you… things got STEAMY!
I cannot wait to continue on with the Wounded Hearts series.

This book is absolutely amazing. The way the author had created such an intense connection between the characters without the romance initially is just perfect. It was so great to see the way the connection and the relationship built and developed, gradually, creating what felt like a stronger link. It allows you to see how the characters develop individually as well as the couple.
I thought the author got the pace of the book perfect for the story being told. Everything seemed to fit together seamlessly and it made for an enjoyable read. I would highly recommend this book.

I am a sucker for romance, and this book delivered. The author tells Katrina and TJ’s story in such a way that you feel it down to your soul. This idea that there is some sort of mystical connection, that fate could play such a crucial role in bringing two souls together is what all romantics swoon over. Experiencing this book was a heart wrenching journey that I would gladly experience again. The romance was slow, and there was much that needed to be overcome along the way, leaving it a story you just didn’t want to put down. This is my first book by this author and I am looking forward to more.

~Travel Based Love Story~

This is not what you would expect, I usually judge a book by it’s cover but this one called out to me. I’m not one to pickup books that look as cute as this one, but boy am I glad I did. This is a Funny, witty, and exceptionally cleverly written story. With an Island-survival-feel, a group of young people have to work together to ensure humanity lives on.

Campbell affectionately known as “Cam” is easily what every reader desires in a book boyfriend. Despite being somewhat aloof, he somehow always hits the mark. His partnership with Laetita is bar none. And as his story progresses, so does the world and everyone else around him. For any Y- The Last Man fans, the characters in Antipodes really remind me of the ones in that comic series. A little dark, a lot of hope, and a whole mess of suspense in between.

I absolutely love the attention to detail that the author provides the reader both biologically and geographically. Coming from someone who is challenged at both I really appreciated the concepts being spelled out clearly. Maybe I am a bit like Campbell this way, haha.

I would love to see this turned into a movie or even a series….If you’ve seen Welcome to Eden on Netflix this feels like a really similar vibe. Of course being a book series you have a lot more to sink your teeth into as the action unfolds. At the very least, a book number two is something I can’t wait to get my hands on. Watching shows and actually sitting down and reading/immersing yourself in a story like this is what every reader years for.

This book was such a addictive read, I could not put this one down, I was pulled into the story at the very beginning and I was held through all the way till the book concluded The book was epic!

Sci-fi? Check. Romance? Check. A love that was meant to be even how much you want to fight it? Check. Everything that perfectly into the story? Very much check! I loved this book. The sci-fi romance was very well done. I loved Mia personally. She was strong and resilient. Tough and never gave up even when she endured the worst possible. How she didn’t trust Castor and his words, was believable as well as understandable. The book was a lot more than just a woman trying to find herself and love It was so much ore than that, there was epic suspense too. The dangers were not far. Just because you find warm arms, does not mean harms way is gone for good. The twists and the turns this book produced was effect and well done. I fell in love with the characters so easily. I could not put this down. I loved it very much.

Such an amazing read that gave a lot to the reader. The author is very talented for sure! I would highly recommend reading this book as well as more by this author! Defiantly a must read book/series!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I really enjoyed this story. I loved the mix of crime and romance. The twists and turns made this a very gripping story. The author does an amazing job with the characters and with their background it gives them real depth. I loved how both Jess and Seth have feelings for each other but neither feels brave enough to tell the other how they feel.
Their chemistry is great and the way they interact with each other in a fun teasing way makes their feelings clear to everyone but them.

Jess and Seth have been on a manhunt for a serial killer. Now they have their man they need to travel to collect him and bring him to face trial. With the times it’s going to take to get their and back Seth sees this as a chance to break down the walls and get to know Jess better. However with a serial killer in their car and a journey back full of problems things won’t be smooth.

With the serial killer in question out for vengence and his target being none other than Jess, both Seth and Jess struggling with their feelings and dealing with Jess ‘s family this is one story where you will not know what’s going to happen unless you read it.
Will Jess and Seth confess their feelings? Now that the serial killer has Jess in his sight will he be able to get his revenge? Will the confusing feelings between the partners make their job harder and cloud their judgement of their job?

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is a really great standalone contemporary romance that had me hooked from the very beginning and refused to let me go until it spat me out at the end. I have read work by this author before but this has been by far my favourite.
It is so much more than the romance between billionaire Dylan Knight and struggling art curator Mia Harris. There is a suspenseful story of art theft that runs alongside the romance and that had me gripped as much as the romance itself.
The romance side of the story is a compelling read. It’s very much an opposites attract and the sparks fly as soon as Mia and Dylan set eyes on each other.
Mia and Dylan are very well written, relatable characters that I loved reading about. I could have read about this couple for hours and hours and not wanted to put the book down…and I did!
Definitely recommend.

The authors writing was just amazing and it didn’t take me long to be hooked on what I was reading. It was very obvious that the author had done a huge amount of research before writing the story and I think that made a huge amount of difference to what I read.

The author took me on an emotional roller-coaster with Corrie’s story, there were certainly some ups and downs and definitely some very emotional moments. It truly was a lovely story to read and one that I would highly recommend. This was also my first time reading a book by this author and will absolutely not be the last!

Paige and the Reluctant ArtistPaige and the Reluctant Artist by Darci Garcia
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Paige and the Reluctant Artist is a romance story between Paige, curator for a New York gallery, and Mark, a billionaire philanthropist rescuing horses in Montana. At a show in NY, Paige sees a beautiful painting of a horse and is sucked into the scene. After seeing this painting she is in need of meeting the artist and getting him to the gallery for a show. She comes to find out that the horse is a real entity and is entranced by its majestic presence. Mark really only paints for enjoyment and doesn’t need the money. However, Paige convinces him by telling him she will donate the earnings to a rescue. To make sure her investment is sound, she moves into his “mansion”, in Montana, until the paintings are complete. This situation is dangerous because since the first day they have met, each has been smitten with the other, but Paige’s past keeps her from wanting to engage those feelings.
I enjoyed Paige and Mark’s love story. I thought this brought about a different plot from the normal billionaire romance. I also loved how I wouldn’t consider this story a slow burn, but at the same time it was. I really liked Mark as a character. He was down to earth, sweet, rugged, and kind. This was displayed throughout the entire story. Paige I thought was okay. As a female there were times I just wanted to hit her upside her head and say “what the hell are you doing girl?” I wish there wasn’t so much disbelief in the happiness on her part throughout most of the story. I think I just get so upset when the characters don’t see what is right in front of their face and can’t get out of their own way, but I also understand the need to have it within the plot. Overall, it was a fast read and very enjoyable.
