The fact that Mia Grey has survived is nothing short of a miracle. Now, every day of her life is a battle. Thrown into the arena daily, she fights to the death against others imprisoned as she is.
She’s become a crowd favorite.
A darling to the masses.
Still, she dreams of escape.
The opportunity presents itself when the tall, dark, and mysterious Atlantean, Castor, comes striding into her life. He claims to be sent to save her, but Mia has endured too much to blindly trust him. Her doubt works against them and ensnares the two in the ultimate challenge… known as the Trials.
Out of options, the pair must form an alliance if they hope to survive. Amid the battle for their lives, they find the bond of fated mates growing between them. In the face of growing odds, can their love survive? Or will the bond between them be the weakness that gets them killed?
When Tai isn’t writing about happiness and hijinks-with some hot alien men thrown in for good measure she can be found catering to her four neurotic cats or touring the latest haunted house that rolls into Austin. Along with the aforementioned cats Tai has a wonderful husband and very sweet geriatric dog named Marley. Tai loves to hear from her readers!

This was a really well written book! The story itself was not what I expected, and that wasn’t a bad thing! There was more excitement or drama than I anticipated there being and it added a wonderful touch to the story! Loved the main characters and really swooned over the ending! GREAT balance and intrigue! Cannot recommend enough!

Mimi is the strong female main character that you just have to love. Jac is perfect for her. I love a good fairytale spin. Excellent book, Highly recommended!
What a start to the series! When I came across the book initially, I was drawn to it for the name, which I found unique yet intriguing. The book was the exact same way in my eyes. The author did a great job at making relatable characters through Kally and Max, and the love story between the two of them is one of the cutest I’ve seen. I related to Kally a lot, also feeling that I was not worthy of love at some point in my life, but just like me, I love watching her discover that she is after meeting Max and then deciding if he was worth the trouble or not. Even though Max wasn’t the most unique character I’ve read in a romance novel, there were small things about him that I fell in love with, making it easy to understand the feelings that she has for him. I also love the small mystery twist to the novel, surrounding her family and specifically her grandfathers death, it definitely helped me in finishing the book quickly. I’m so glad I read the book, and am excited to read the next one in the series.

This book is a story of three interwoven romances, all three leading to a book store. There is a sweet bookshop owned by a match maker Leona, who tries to bring couples together. Leona first brings two lovers together by deliberately making a Christmas eve package mix up. That entails in the pair spending the Christmas holiday together and finding love. The second time, she succeeds in rekindling the love in a divorced couple. In the journey, she finds love herself with a handyman who comes to repair her book shop. The book can easily pass off as a hallmark romance movie, and gives happy vibes. With clean romance and small town feel, it is a very pleasant read. I enjoyed the book.

I love this series and this book is no different! Amazing! I love how the author deals with tough subjects throughout the series. I was fond of Jonas at first but grew to love him as I continued to read. I loved Mackenzie from the beginning! I can’t wait to see what comes next!

First off, I highly recommend you just jump right into this book. Do not ready any reviews….you don’t want anything given away. This book had me on the edge of my seat ’til the very end….I had no idea which way it would go.
I’m going to try to do this review justice without giving too much away. Sera is a great FMC. She works hard, knows what she wants, and is good at what she does. As a hired assassin, she usually has no problem with the follow-through…until him! Cassius is a wise and kind-hearted man. However, he feels something is amiss with his meeting of Sera…he just needs to figure out what it is. These two have amazing banter, some H-O-T scenes, and the gamut of emotions (lust, love, hate, betrayal….you get the picture). However, at the end of the day, Sera must decide if she will follow orders or her heart? And how will Cassius deal with the fact that someone close to him has betrayed him?
This book was one of the best books I have read this year! It is filled with the kind of back and forth that kept me turning the pages until the very end!! It has been a while since I have been so enthralled with a book that I did not notice the passage of time….I just sat and read from beginning to end!

This is the first book that I have read from this author and i was not disappointed. This book is the fourth book in the Firehouse 13 series. But don’t not let that stop you from picking it up and reading. This story is absolutely amazing, and it suck you in, so you aren’t able put it down long enough to do your daily tasks. Even if you haven’t read the rest of the series yet, this book can be read as a standalone but i recommend reading the other books also, so you’ll understand everything a little better. This book brought out a lot of different feelings inside of me including loss, love, and comfort. This book does a great job of shining a light on mental health and how it can affect the relationships you hold.
Each character has their own unique qualities. Sol, a retired firefighter, holds onto his injury and lets it affect every part of his life. Where Ember, a rookie firefighter, takes life by the horns and works hard in her career. The two of them together create sparks that could very easily start a fire.
I can’t wait to read the other books in the series and other books from the author in the near future.

This is the second book in the Donovan Trait series by Seelie Kay and is just as intriguing as the first book. Seelie Kay sprinkled a little more intensity over this book but made sure to throw in some light-hearted humor to break up the tension. This book is a fun paranormal romantic suspense, with vampires, lawyers, vampire politics and law, agendas, uncovering the truth, and more. And as with the first book, Ye Gods! has an original take on vampire lore. If you loved the first book, then you really will want to grab a copy and dive in. If you have yet to read ‘First, We Kill All the Lawyers’, then I highly recommend that you do before starting on this story. There is important backstory, character details, and key information contained in Book One, which will definitely enhance your reading experience of this book. I’m excited to continue on reading this series in the near future.

The Law is an Ass! (Donovan Trait Book 2) by Seelie Kay – Review by Skylar Daniels
Danielle Jacks done amazing writing this book. I feel like she could have gave more details and stretched some of the chapters out to make it longer. It is very informative on how people with PTSD and triggers live their day to day lives after an accident. It helps show that not everyone is perfect, but we can all still find love even through our imperfections.
After Sol’s accident he didn’t know who he was anymore, so he turned to the bottle. He pushed everyone away and drank in his sorrows, that is until Ember came along. Ember has always looked up to Sol. He was her mentor when she first came to the firehouse. He has always been her crush ever since she seen his calendar work. She keeps trying to push her way into his life and get him to open up, maybe once he sees her therapist aunt Jackie he will give her a chance.

I think every woman would know someone that she’d like to send to the Queen of Hearts!! This book was a little different than I expected, but I was not disappointed!! I have not read any other books in this series but I believe this little stand alone served it’s purpose…to get me to read the other books! 🙂
Mimi Mioyo (I love how that name rolls off the tongue) is fed up over the way that men can get by treating…or mistreating, women. Thus, she becomes the Queen of Hearts. Any man who can beat her at a game of Stolen Hearts has an opportunity with her that other men are clamoring for. The thing is, would they be if they knew what *really* happens behind the Queen’s doors?
Jac is a new guy in town who claims to be Mimi’s new dealer. Mimi isn’t sure she can trust anyone else but Jac does something to earn her trust…but will it ever be a complete trust? He is a man after all!
I love how this story intertwines so many facets of things that, unfortunately, happen today. While this is a work of fictional fantasy, I know that some will wish some of these events to come true in their own lives. There are some deep topics covered in this book but all in all, I found it to be a very enjoyable read on a stormy afternoon. I look forward to reading other books in this series!

Lies, betrayal, teenage hormones, high school drama, bullying, and the effects of a serious medical condition makes for a very dramatic storyline.
Holly finds herself at a new high school, trying to fit in with the in-crowd. She finds the popular crowd are not welcoming but one handsome guy catches her eye. She quickly learns that this handsome fella is a bit mysterious due to his strange absences. This pet of the story quickly gave me Twilight/Edward Cullen vibes for a few seconds. Holly soon learns that although this guy is handsome, he’s definitely a jerk.
Nathan is the mysterious guy that has caught Holly’s attention and he has a secret. By accident, Holly learns of his secret which could have devastating circumstances for Nathan if she chooses to leak the information to their fellow high school students. Nathan has to decide how to handle the issue and to what extent he will protect his secret. Drama ensues.
I found the book to be a fast read and enjoyed the character building. The author did a great job representing the behavior and actions of a bunch of hormonal teenagers.
Hang in to your seats while this roller coaster of emotions hit you from beginning to end.

This book is the latest on the Pierce Brothers series and is just as fun and entertaining as the last. I loved the characters in this book. They fit so well with the fun and lighthearted feel of the book but still had depth about them. The dual perspective also adds more to the storyline and create a book that is easy to read and fun from start to finish. This is a great series and each book is truly enjoyable. I would highly recommend all of them for any can of this genre.

This book is a cute collection of three separate, but intwined love stories, somewhat brought together by a fourth. In part one you have the story of Sadie and Charlie who meet unexpectedly in a book store, and reconnect when they discover that their purchases were switched. The book that Sadie had intended to purchase happens to be based on the love story that Charlie grew up hearing, about how his grandparents met. The second part, is about the author of the book that Sadie purchased reconnected with her ex-husband when they both unknowingly end up moving to the same small town, and going into the same bookstore. The third part is about the bookstore owner herself finding love unexpectedly. The sections could be read independently, but also work perfectly as a three part story of love and friendship.

I have read a couple of books from this author and she continues to blow my mind. This is the third book in the Meraki series. You can read them as a stand alone but there are some previous characters in this story as well. I was so excited when I got this book I stopped everything and started to read it immediately. I was hooked on these characters right from the start and it only took me a few hours to devour this book.
Krystina loves her life. She is becoming a well known blogger and she is also getting to travel. Krystina wants instant fame so she works really hard. She is highly upset when she runs into one of her school enemies. Now he will not leave her alone. Krystina is also in a search to find this man that her grandmother can’t stop talking about. She is shocked when her life changes and Loukas is by her side. Will she learn to let the past go or will it be too late?

I’m always keen to try out author’s I’ve never read before and when I read the blurb of this book, I just knew that I had to give it a chance. I’m a total sucker for a good romantic suspense novel and that’s exactly what I got with this book. I was pulled into this story from the very beginning. The author had me hooked straight away and wasn’t willing to let me go. Thankfully, I was a very willing passenger on this great ride. The story flows along quickly and is full of action, intrigue, danger and suspense. Added to that is an almighty blast of angst as the two main characters, would be assassin Sera and her would be victim Cassius top toe around one another. Set in the dark underworld of drugs, this is dark and raw in parts but is a fantastic read that I just didn’t want to put down. It is most definitely with the 5 stars that I’m giving it.

Remi is living in a dark place, a billionaire who has strived to be the best and hide his past, but he has always had a core group of friends who have been there through all the issues with his dad and stepfamily especially his bully of a stepbrother.
He always felt safe and wanted at his friend Graysen’s house, with Mrs Wu always trying to feed them up and show warmth and love he did not have at his own home. As the year’s went on and college came and went Remi built his empire up around the Waterfront of his youth, but now will his past come back and the darkness seep deeper.
Audri Wu has always been the only girl in the group of boys that were constantly at her house, but she has always had a soft spot for Remi. While working at her job she becomes the target of harassment, although she has been to HR nothing really gets sorted but then suddenly there is an announcement that the company has been sold and in walks Remi, but as the chemistry between the two of them intensifies can they make a relationship work or will the past shatter it wide open.
This is the first time I have read anything by this author, and I loved the story and the characters. Remi and Audri’s characters complimented each other brilliantly with the dark and light. I love a forbidden love story and with the twist within this story just had me turning the pages to get to the thrilling parts, although I enjoyed the story it did in my opinion took a while to get going but I understand the backstory had to be told as this led them to this part.
The secondary characters where also a brilliant added addition and hope that this series grows so we get to see the other friends’ lives expanded and delve into the world of the Waterfyre in more detail.

This book was excellent! I really enjoyed reading Ellawyn’s story. Her courage and strength of spirit were an inspiration. Seeing the relationships between the characters is always beautiful to me as well! However, my favorite part is the haven she finds in the midst of an escape from her prison. Starlight Books being her haven is something I can completely understand, seeing as books are my safe place too. I love stories that take place in small towns because the camaraderie is almost inevitable and the relationships that can be built are so enduring. If you enjoy books with a strong female lead, romance, and some suspense, this is definitely a must read!

Love is Worth Fighting for (The Meraki Series Book 3)
I loved this book though it did trigger me a bit with Covid and hospitalization during that time. I was admitted for 9 days for something thankfully not Covid in May of 2020, my only company was the hospital staff during that time. I know how lonely and afraid I felt at times, couldn’t imagine not being able to say goodbye to a loved one.
Loukas and Krystina have known each other their entire lives and have had their ups and downs during those years but a global pandemic changes everything for them. They certainly deal with a lot in this book and I shed several tears all the way through.
Loukas makes me want to hug him for so many reasons. His family and how lost he feels at times really brings out the Mama bear in me.
Krystina’s fire and determination were great with a touch of frustrating at times. She like all of the other members of her family are very passionate and feels everything with her heart.
I really want to be adopted by this amazing family. The pride in their Greek heritage and how important family is and it doesn’t matter if they are blood or not. The recipes shared are an added bonus for sure.

I picked up this book because I was a bit curious about mail order brides of the 1800’s and what that might have experienced. Isabella has recently moved from Sweden to America with her parents. What was supposed to be new experiences for the three of them, takes a tragic turn when Isabella’s parents get sick on the voyage over and end up passing away. It must be hard for Isabella to be in this land where she has no family. After a fire destroys her current job, Isabella decides to become a mail order bride. She is excited for the new journey and a bit worried about meeting her husband to be. Along the way, she almost gets kidnapped. Thank goodness a kind gentleman helps her out and she makes it to the train station where she finally meets Mr. Jenks, her husband to be. Will Isabella’s life be as picturesque as it’s described by Mr. Jenks?

This novel by Amy Argent exceeded expectations! I had read previous books by this author, but the genre for The Lie That Binds was a little different. While still a romance, this book was more of a Young Adult read. The story took me back to high school; where what your friends and others thought of you was truly one of the most important things. The secrets and lies that the two main characters navigate throughout the book, together and separately, was truly amazing. How many secrets and lies are told in the world of a single high school on a daily basis? The Lie That Binds makes you truly think about what is important. Holly and Nathan not only traverse the secrets and lies, but they must come to terms with the feelings that first love evokes in them. This story has a wide array of realistic, relatable characters; some that I liked, others I did not, but all were necessary in the overall telling of the story. I can’t wait to read more books from Amy Argent!

This was a little harder for me to read than I expected once I found out the details of Nathan’s lie, especially since I have two family members who have dealt with this exact situation. I had several memories come back to me that I hadn’t thought about for years and not many were pleasant.
Holly grabbed me from the beginning. She is from Amarillo, Texas which is where my father in law is from and she even went to the same high school as he did. It was a nice little connection which I appreciated and stuck with me throughout the book.
Nathan gave me a lot of anxiety, but it didn’t detract from his personality for me. I wish he would have expected been honest from the beginning and saved me a lot of stress.
This is not my first book by this author and won’t be the last, though I will need to remember how anxious she can make me at times.

Bernadette Marie gives us a feel good book with not one but three sweet romances! A new author for me, Bernadette wrote us the perfect book to curl up and lose ourselves to imagination. Well written with great characters and the main character Leona was so well written! I enjoyed the idea of a book store where matchmaking is paired with a good book! Would definitely read more like this!

This series just keeps getting better. This is the second novel in the series about a nurse who developed the ability to see ghosts after a medical emergency. I enjoyed this installment of the series. There was some drama and I loved watching Morgan and Caleb fall further in love. This is a good series and I look forward to reading the next book.

This box set is a must read. I loved each of the brothers and the women they fell for. These women came into their lives at a time they needed them the most; they just didn’t know it. Each of them have a dark side but they are good men who love fiercely. The author did an exceptional job pulling me into each story and tying them all together. Each book has danger, action, romance, and so much more. As soon as you finish a book you will want to dive right into the next one. I needed to know if they were going to be able to stop their evil father. I highly recommend these books, you don’t want to miss out on this series.

I was so excited to read book 2 of the series and it did not disappoint! We picked up where book 1 left off and I loved getting to see how Morgan’s relationships with everyone have continued to grow and mature. She is learning more about her other worldly visitors and it has been interesting getting to know Elizabeth and Jonathon better. Elizabeth is so much more than just a sweet homemaker and it’s awesome to see her fiery side. Reading this book just felt cozy and comfortable, even with all of the craziness that was going on, it had a down to earth feel to it. I loved reading about her growing relationship with Caleb and seeing how she handles all of the changes. It was wonderful to see Gloria again and see how she is taming her afterlife. We get to learn more rules about the ghost world and meet some new characters as well. It was wild seeing Esmeralda throw all of rules out the window and create complete chaos as she tries to steal Caleb for herself. Definitely a page turner and series I need more of!

I think that I actually liked this sequel even more than the debut installment. It really feels like the footing was found. Which is strange, because it already felt like that with the first novel! Haha! It gave me strong Ghosts (both CBS & BBC versions) vibes. I love how interactive Morgan and others are with their otherworldly counterparts. And that the spirits are so active in their own investigations. Morgan’s roommates are amazing to read. I don’t want to give too much away in terms of spoilers, so I will just say that I cannot wait for the next novel in the series.
