As with any new to me author i go in with an open mind and jump right in. I really loved this story even if it took a bit for me to get immersed into it (i blame my rambunctious children for this).

This was a well told story that really had me wanting to know more and more and then just feeling all of it, every single word.

I am now going to be finding the rest of this authors work and reading everything.

This is my first book by this author and the first book in this series. I cannot wait to see what comes next! The storyline felt realistic, and I enjoyed getting to know G and Sophie more. I laughed a lot while reading. I wasn’t so sure of Sophie in the beginning, but she became easier to like throughout the book. If you’re looking for something sweet and funny, while also being realistic then this book is for you!

I have not read this author before, but I will be going back to find and read other books by her! I easily got caught up in Ian and Grace’s story of meeting by chance. I felt all the emotions they were going through, and the lesson learned from this story is what secrets do to people. This was a great book. Pick it up today. Definitely recommend.

This was a great fairytale romance story. I really enjoyed the fast pace, and dual point of view, it made me feel like I was really getting to know Regan and Jeremy. I was instantly hooked and finished it within one setting. I couldn’t put it down. My only complaint is that I read it too fast because I needed to know what was going to happen next! Highly recommend!

A story of intrigue, finding love, past and present and stepping back in time. Moderately dramatic, this story had many elements that made it an interesting read. Decadence and dastardly liaisons are also prevalent in this saga and the authors attention to detail on point. A real page turned that kept a readers attention from start to finish. Engaging with the characters was effortless and the unfolding of the story was meticulous and well thought out. thorough and complete drama that was well worth the read. 4 stars.

This was a very entertaining box set. Fans of Harry Potter will enjoy this set. The battle against evil will always be fought. She feels a little lost. Her best friends are in hiding. She’s losing her magic. The Ancients are at the outer areas of the school. Once you start the first the start the first book, you just don’t want to set it down. You are pulled right into to the new school year and all the challenges that come with it. (even the magic). The characters were awesome. The moody wolf shifter. The quiet roommate who knows who she is but respects it. The plot is very engaging. The story would keep a young adult into fantasy stories engaged through the whole series (even us older HP fans). I am going to highly recommend this to all fantasy lovers.

This book definitely checked all the boxes. The characters were great and you could really feel their connection through the pages. Grace is in desperate need of somewhere to stay when she answers an ad about a room which happens to be in the same building she currently lives in, Ian is offering the room rent free as long as he gets his dinner made for him at his own cost surely this must be too good to be true? He has a dark secret that he doesn’t want Grace to know. Will it cause a rift or bring them together?!

Seductively Yours (Titans Of Manhattan, #3)Seductively Yours by Anise Storm
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is definitely one of the hottest and most engaging stories in this series. I love the angst of this romance. Rhyann has come to NYC to pursue dance at a prestigious college. Finding herself without any money, she takes a suggestion from her roommate to try exotic dancing at one of the clubs. She ends up working for the man she had a one night stand with. It only amps up from there with two people who are trying to stay away from each other. Between the exotic dancing, the working relationship, and the chemistry – it makes for a lot of steam and intense roller coaster of emotions. You don’t have to start with book one as I feel this is a standalone, but there is mention of the previous romances. The Titans of Manhattan are club owners and friends so there is some crossover.

This is a four-star read that will check all of your boxes. I enjoyed this one, it was steamy and sweet in a great way, I enjoyed the whole story, it just needed a little more polish to it. The romance blossoming between Ian and Grace will sweep you up, and take you with them on their journey, the more we get to know Ian and what makes him tick, just makes you all warm and fuzzy in the end. This has the makings of being a great story, and I am excited to see what else this author will bring us.

I really enjoyed this book. It is a student teacher romance written from the view of the teacher. After reading the first one from the view of the student it was nice to read this one from the opposite view point. The author does an amazing job with the characters. They are very deep.
Diego is a teacher at Kirk. He has just got out of a really long marriage and doesn’t think he will ever find love again. That is until he meets Cassie. Their attraction and chemistry is instant but because of Diego’s job he tries to avoid getting involved.

When they finally give in things still don’t run smoothly. With Diegos job and an ex wife making the divorce harder than it needs to be. Their path to love doesn’t run smooth.

This is a fab four-star read. This is number one in the Mixed Emotions series and my first read by this author, but it won’t be the last, as I enjoyed the premise of the story and am eager to get my teeth into number two. It could have done with more polish, but overall, I enjoyed the story. The chemistry is good, but the romance was okay. Sophie irritated me a little at first, I just couldn’t get to grips with her at first, she left me cold, but then I warmed to her and I really liked her in the end.

Kiss of the SwanKiss of the Swan by Natalina Reis
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Oh my, this fairytale is so sweet! It nods to a few well known fairtales, reminding me a bit of Sleeping Beauty and a bit of The Swan Princess. Right from the start, I was totally immersed and curisous as to where the story was going. It felt familar, yet new at the same time. Cathal was such a cinnamon bun, and such an easy person to root for. Eala was so caring and fierce all at once. There were several twists and turns leading to the resolution, which tied the story up nicely. Definitely enjoyed this read!

I really enjoyed this romance story. I loved the fairy tale feel about it and the parts of the story that were similar to Sleeping Beauty.
The author does an amazing job writing the characters and their story will grip you from beginning to end. I literally couldn’t put it down. This is a story about love overcoming all odds stacked against them and really being unconditional. You can’t help but feel for our characters because at every turn something seems to get in the way of their love.

This is the story of Cathal and Eala.
Cathal is always following his brother trying to stop him getting into trouble. On one occasion he ends up on Swan Island. This is a scared placed and no one should be there or harm the Kings swans.
When he is injured by the swans he meets Eala who is the queen. As their relationship grows there are all sorts of obstacles for the couple to over come. All Ealan wants is to be with Cathal however she has a need to protect her people and also she is trapped on the Island by the king.
Cathal wants to rescue her and release her from this guided prison however he’s not sure how and with secrets and outside forces working against them.Can they both become free and together and also save Ealan’s people or will it all be to much and drag the couple apart?

Checking Boxes is a steamy contemporary romance and debut novel by Magdoline Ward. Ian and Grace had intense chemistry and their story pulled me in right from the beginning. The author didn’t hold back, and the story was unexpected in so many ways- it is a cleverly woven angsty story full of intensity, chemistry, secrets, passion, pain, trust issues, and surprising developments.
I liked this so much that I went looking for more from this author, only to discover that this is her debut novel- so that made me even more impressed. I will be keeping an eye out for more releases from her in the future, because if this book is anything to go by, there are even greater things to come.
Well worth the read…
Happy Reading!

Thank you, Magdoline Ward!

Kiss of the Swan by Natalina Reis is a beautifully heart-wrenching fractured fairytale. It feels like a blend of the Swan Princess, Sleeping Beauty (with a twist), and The Twelve Swans- but with its own originality.
It did start off a little slow, but once the pace picked up after a couple of chapters, I became completely immersed in the story
This fantasy is well woven- with shifters, magic, curses, secrets, true love, romance, emotion, cruelty, violence, drama, good vs evil, and wonderful world-building. Cathal and Eala’s story will pull you in and play with your emotions. I can see this making a great movie or miniseries.
Happy Reading!

Thank you, Natalina Reis!

This is an amazing short read. It has both POVs and I love that in a book, I feel it helps round out the story line. This book is also really well written. I only give it 4 stars because I feel like it could have been longer. I felt that the scenes, even though written really well, could have been longer. The crazy dynamic between the two main characters and their shenanigans to keep their inappropriate relationship a secret is highly entertaining. It is a very fast paced book that I couldn’t put down. The growth of the characters is appropriate for the pace of the book. I just wish there was more. I would recommend this book to anyone who loves a good age gape, inappropriate, wholesome love story.

I enjoyed this fantasy box set. This is a great box set that contains three books that will take you on an adventure of magic, shifters and fantasy. They are well written stories that pulled me in from the beginning. The characters are creative, unique and had me coming back for more. One of the things I enjoy most about a box set is that you don’t have to wait for the next book. This is an author that is still newer for me and I enjoy their writing style as well as their attention to details that make the story easy to read. These are engaging stories that are fast paced and full of adventure. This is a young adult series that anyone would enjoy reading. These stories are full of action and the characters bring the story to life. I enjoyed the growth of the characters in each of the stories as well as the growth of the plots. I really enjoyed these stories and highly recommend them. A box set worth the pick up.

Rhyann Ward has just been awarded a scholarship to a dance school in Manhattan, New York. Now that she is starting on the path to making her dreams come true she needs to find a job. Her roommate takes her to a club called Vault where she unknowingly has a steamy night with one of the Titans, Mason Steele. It was only supposed to be one night and they’d never see each other again. When Rhyann applies for a dancing position at Vault she and Mason are in for a surprise. Knowing that she is off-limits due to his own set of rules, will Mason be able to stick to them?

Another great book in the series. It’s a quick read with plenty of steamy moments. I am enjoying this series and can’t wait to read the next book.

Mason and Rhyann were hot! The push and pull as they fight their feelings only adds excited fuel to the fire. Mason is a sexy and successful Alpha who also happens to be a top bachelor. Rhyann is a beautiful ballet dancer at a prestigious Ballet School. New York was her calling after she received her scholarship and now the question is how to survive. Together they had an unforgettable one night stand and circumstance reunites them again. There is soo much more to things between them and the journey to them finally being together will definitely draw you in page by page.

This was a great 5 star read. I’m loving the Titans series so much.
I was pulled right in and couldn’t put it down.

Rhyann is on a scholarship and her dream is to become a dancer. Her roommate talks her into moving with her to an expensive apartment that her father is paying for. In order to get some extra money she talks Rhyann into applying for a job with her.

While at a club Ryhann has quite the steamy hookup, what she didn’t expect was that it would be her new boss. Mason is a Titan and he has a specific rule, he doesn’t date his employees. When Ryhann gets hired at his club he has to keep his hands off. Will he be able to keep his hands off?

Overall I really enjoyed this book. I will say that Mason was infuriating at times but eventually grew on me. I loved Rhyann. She had a certain innocence to her and we saw her grow stronger throughout the book. I loved seeing the other titans as well. I would love to see more from these two. I look forward to reading the next book in the series. 1-click and get started today.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

If you happened to throw in an MC, I would really be in heaven but alas it was not in this book. Anyhoo back to this book. Talk about a page turner. A Vampire Navy SEAL who oozes mayhem and sex appeal is what caught my eye and made me pick up this paranormal, military romance.
The characters are well developed and likeable. The storyline is intriguing and full of suspense. It is captivating, and full of passion as the characters go from enemies to lovers. Susan gives us a gripping storyline filled with chemistry and passion, action and suspense and a few twists and turns.
With a vampire hunter, vampire SEALs, shifters, special powers, action and danger, and don’t forget the hot and steamy and sizzling sexiness.
Damnit cliffhanger!
This is my first-time reading Susan’s work and let me tell you I will be going back to check on those other sexy men and their stories in her other works.

The story is a student-teacher romance where age is a factor or is it? This is the companion story to the first book Professor Valentine in the Kirk University series. This story is told from Diego’s POV. I love stories that are told in different POV’s because I feel the story is much rounder and in depth understanding of the characters. This is a very very short novella but getting the male perspective is a good addition to this tale. This is where it all began.
Cassie is off limits but that doesn’t stop him from wanting her. Beautiful doesn’t begin to describe her, but does he really need more in his life with his ex-wife and brother?
