Fall to PiecesFall to Pieces by Becky Flade
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Definitely different, but I loved the different! Fall to Pieces is an investigation with an investigation. A murder mystery with Internal Affair’s right in the middle.
Lexi, a North East Philly detective, has been assigned a new partner. Xavier has been assigned to Lexi’s precinct to investigate Lexi, what better way to do that is as her partner. First case as partners, a homicide of a child. A case that could make or break her career Lexi is determined to get justice for the family.
Xavier is torn in his quest to prove that Lexi is unfit. Lexi exudes a lot of confidence and qualities he admires, but feels she can be careless. Oh and he’s also attracted to her, that never makes things easy.
I loved the character development of Lexi and Xavier as individuals and working together, but the book has me posing a few questions for you.
Will Lexi find out Xavier has been brought in to essentially “take her badge”?
Will Lexi and Xavier act on their mutual attraction?
Will justice be delivered for Tommy Welsh?
Three intriguing questions that have answers just as intriguing of answers, but if I answered them for you what good is that. READ FIND OUT THOSE 3 ANSWERS AND MORE!
It’s a whirlwind of a book that will DEFINITELY NOT DISAPPOINT! You are going to want more when it’s over!

The Heart of a Hussar (The Winged Warrior Series Book 1) by Griffin Brady – Review by stephanie nicole

The Heart of a Hussar (The Winged Warrior, #1)The Heart of a Hussar by Griffin Brady
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book was definitely an unexpected read. It is very seldom that you find a romance based in a country overseas like Poland so it was a very nice change of pace. While I am not normally a reader of history, I loved the history and the characters in this book. But with the help of the characters you are easily sucked into the pages. The combination of history, adventure, and a budding romance just kept turning the pages, I absolutely couldn’t put it down and almost finished it in one sitting. This author gave us a unique, but historically accurate plot, fantastic characters, and brilliant word building. I simply can’t recommend this book enough!

This is the second book I’ve read by this author and it was just as good as the first! This book continues on the story of Will & Tori. The topic of cancer, sickness, and death is never easy to read or discuss, but it’s done so well in this series. I found myself genuinely rooting for Will & Tori to overcome his sickness. This book is well written, entertaining, and will definitely pull on your heart strings!

This is the continuation of Will and Tori’s story and it continues the emotional rollercoaster ride from the first book. The main characters begin the journey we all hoped for. The story is so emotional, and I loved every single minute of it. If you have not read the first book, you must!!! I can not wait to see what the author comes out with next. I am there!!

This book will for sure put a Spell on you. I have always loved reading about magic and this author did not disappoint, giving us a courageous female lead, different characters all with different magical strengths, and a fantastic plot. When I found out that this book would focus on Italian magic I was super intrigued and I was definitely not disappointed. Annie was a very impressive character who goes through a lot and in the end she definitely came out stronger then I ever thought she would while reading her story. Full of emotions, suspense, magic and oh so much more this story was a brilliant read.

As a daughter of a cop, I was intrigued by the blurb of this book. This mystery suspense isn’t my typical read, but sometimes new books can surprise you. Alex Danvers and her new partner Xavier Knight have a new case. But that is not the only thing going on, who can you trust when everyone is working against you? Between the twists and turns and trying to solve the mystery, I enjoyed where the pieces fell.

Whatever Tomorrow Brings (Embrace Tomorrow #2)Whatever Tomorrow Brings by Amy Argent
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Tori and Will are back in this tale of one terminal cancer patient and the woman who started out wanting to be his friend and turned into something much more. When she first walked into his room, all she saw were glorious and intense green eyes both challenging her to stay and telling her to leave all at the same time, there is vulnerability and strength, loneliness and determination there, but he has had nobody to visit him, this young man who is suffering all alone. Tori decides at that moment that she will be there for him and asks him whether she could “come back tomorrow?” and she did, everyday and each day she spent with him, each day she fell deeper in love.

What she didn’t want to think about is that Will was going to die, but she knew she was in too deep regardless, but the day she was going to tell him that is the day that she never expected. As Will is struggling to breathe as the pneumonia takes its toll, but between breaths he is trying to talk to Tori, saying that “He is scared and that he feels like he is falling apart and that he has nothing to hold on to to get him though.” this is where Tori says he can hold onto her, but he replies that “He wants her to leave and not to come back tomorrow, in fact not to come back at all!”

This absolutely destroys Tori, but she doesn’t realise just how much until she hears the alarm of “Code blue, code blue in room four-twelve” and she knows then that it might just be too late to tell him how she feels. However, when her best friend Jenny comes into the room and tells her that he hasn’t died and that in fact he has chosen to live, chosen to love, chosen to fight and chosen Tori over death, all she feels is relief that she has a second chance and this time, she isn’t going to let it pass her by and she will fight by his side, as he fights everything else. This is an emotional rollercoaster which will wrench you by the heartstrings throughout as the fight continues in this epic journey of uncertain tomorrows.

Reading part two of Red’s story almost felt like reading a different story altogether. Red and Cheryl’s paths have crossed once again, but now they have grown up. Gone are the two young lovebirds we met at the beginning of book one. I don’t want to add any spoilers, but this author has once again taken a sensitive subject and explored it. It definitely adds a complexity to this love story. These two who we fell in love with in first book get another chance at love. Great story with a great lesson !

I love a good Cop book! Lexi is a widow and has many issues to deal within relation to her late husband. She thinks she knows who the killer is but there are things in her way to bring him to justice. Xavier is her new partner but he has another job to complete. The attraction is there and you can feel it as you turn the pages.

This is book two of the series. You should definitely read book one before diving into this book. Not only did I need to find out how the story was going to go for Will and Tori, I did genuinely enjoy book one and of course wanted to read book two to finish out the story.

This book is well written and packed with so so many emotions. Tori and Will finally get to start their journey together. It goes without saying they have had and still have quite a bit to overcome together. It was hard to put this book down but boy the emotional roller coaster was worth it!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

A wonderfully told story set along the shores of modern day Massachusetts and in Southern Italy’s, Old Country, both of which really came alive through the authors detailed and descriptive narrative. I could feel the Italian sun and the fresh salt air in Massachusetts. The storyline has it all, history, hereditary witchcraft, wonderful characters, amazing settings and, “Reincarnation, Family, Love, Hope, Suffering and Joy”, and of course magical liquor! All of which had me spellbound from page one. Angela Scotti (Annie), a third-year medical student has dreams of becoming a healer, but due to past tragedies her destiny or ‘Destino’ has other plans for her. Annie is also having difficulties whilst working at the hospital as her mentor has become an enemy, and then there is her successful lawyer fiancé who is giving her no support. Especially in regard to the urgent whispers she has started to hear at night.
The dual timeline aspect works well and reads flawlessly in this novel, from Italy in 1617 and 1899 and the stories of Annie’s predecessors, to modern day Massachusetts. I was taken on an emotional rollercoaster whilst reading this engaging novel, and felt as though I was there with Annie as she faces her past. The historical details made me feel immersed in the eras and the author has obviously done her research thoroughly. An enjoyable read which flowed well and kept me captivated from start to finish.

Conveniently Yours (Titans Of Manhattan #1)Conveniently Yours by Anise Storm
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This book is a 4/5 stars. It’s a good story that centers around Paisley and Caspian. Caspian is a wealthy businessman who is due to inherit more wealth and become CEO at his uncle’s company as his uncle is dealing with heart failure. However, there is a caveat to inherit all of this—Caspian must be married for 365 days. Paisley is a struggling artist who has had to persevere through the struggles of poverty. Her mother was recently in a life-threatening accident resulting in a prolonged hospital stay, causing medical bills to pile up. It is during a visit to see her mother, that Paisley runs into (literally) Caspian. Seeing each other sparks old memories between the two as they briefly knew each other from the past. This leads to a solution for Caspian. Make Paisley his wife for the year! And of course, Paisley agrees to it as Caspian is going to pay her to be his wife. So the journey begins! This story is very Hot and Steamy from the first sentence, so beware, this book should be read by mature audiences only. This book is a great late night read and will be hard to put down!

This story surrounds several generations of the same family with magical abilities. Wise women, witch or Strega? Doesn’t matter what you call them they have mystical abilities that make this story so much more interesting as you are guessing your way through all these abilities. A turn of events in Diana’s life means her and her sisters must flee the town their family has lived in all their lives. Was it right to do as she did or did she go against the basic principle that her abilities should harm none? What will her actions translate into in Annie’s life? I love the historical influences that are given throughout this novel. This tale is both story and character driven and has so many of those details that make a story a great one. I loved the back story that was given and found myself unable to put this story down until I read every last word. I thoroughly enjoyed the journey and hope the author finds a way to make this a series!! I would love to read more.

This book is a romantic and suspenseful story that has been been written. I thought the story was well developed and had some interesting characters. It was an easy story to get into and the author has done a great job of adding in enough twists and turns to keep you on your toes.
This is the second book in the series however reading it our of order does not detract from the enjoyment. I thought the whole book was really well developed and the author knew exactly how to engage the reader. This is a great story and I am looking forward to reading more.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

As with the other books in this series this one is a real page turner. The time has come to finally take down the Bastard that started it all. In this dark world they are sick of the games of cat and mouse, where suspense and danger are the name of the game. Where secrets and lies have ruined it all but now is the time for it to end. It is time to find and take out the cold hearted monster who has caused so much pain and suffering and rain down ruin and cause havoc. I was on the edge of my seat and kept turning the pages forgoing sleep as I had to know what was coming but with all the twists and turns you don’t see what’s coming. The author paints a complex and multi layered story that is full of intrigue and action, lies and danger, hate and suspense, and so much more.
What would you do to keep all those you love safe?

This is a mystery thriller and the author is unknown to me but now I can’t wait to get my hands on more of her work. The author has cleverly woven the mystery into the tale that is compelling and engrossing. It wasn’t until after about half way through that I realised this was the second book in the series but I was enthralled with the story and read it in one sitting as I just couldn’t put it down. I tried but the story won out over sleep. Now I am anticipating reading the first book and making my back through book two. The characters are complex and full of flaws and all and you will fall in love with them.
Xavier is once again undercover. He has a knack for sniffing out the troubled or bad cops and she may just be one of them, as much as he is torn.
Lexi is feeling the weight of being a live wire, an unknown and the wrath of her department to her husband’s death. When her new partner comes to town there is something about him that may be her undoing in more ways than one.

This was a gripping story murder mystery with romance running through it. The characters were really well written. I loved Lexi’s character because she is strong and determined and she has overcome a lot to get where she is now. She give herself 100% to her job and bringing criminals to justice.
After losing her husband Lexi has thrown herself into her job however this isn’t always a smart idea.I love her character because she is strong and independent and is determined to get her killer.

Xavier has been brought in undercover to work as Lexi’s new partner. His job isn’t to help her solve the recent murder but on monitoring Lexi’s ability to do her job.

When a young boy is found murdered Lexi and Xavier now have to work together to get this child killer caught. But with all the secrets they both hold this case put their lives and jobs at risk. When romance is added to the mix things get more complicated and more dangerous. How will things go when the secrets are revealed? Can the focus on catching the killer before its too late?

Okay y’all. Here it is. The END OF THE LINE for The Dark Sparrow Series. And hot damn what a series it was. And it ended with my favorite silver fox of them all- the yummy delicious Oz. 🤤 This author poured some heart soul sweat and tears into this book because I felt all the feels (as per usual with this author) and it was great. I’m just so glad we finally (not that i was in a rush because I’m sad it’s over 🥺) got his book! I’ve really enjoyed learning about his character throughout the series and Inwas almost worried his book would be too hyped up in my head- but it was fantastic. What a great one! And I canNOT finish this review without mentioning Sasha- I really enjoyed her character throughout the series and I’m glad to see her story be told too! She’s so sarcastic and funny- as so many of the Sparrows are. I loved this series and I’m sad to see it coming to an end- although the journey was pretty amazing. Check these out y’all! 💖

Fraught with danger and uncertainty, Lazarus and Sasha’s journey was not for the faint hearted. It was gripping, intense and fast paced. The chemistry between the two was palpable and it was a race against time to find their way through to their HEA. The story was well constructed and meticulously detailed. It was written with fierce determination and the love story to end all love stories was the target. Perfectly executed and a fantastic, well rounded tale that elevated the heart rate and stole my breath. Where nothing turns out quite as expected and tension lurks at every corner, the end game was to make it out alive and protect above all else. Throw in obligation, loyalty and monster slaying, you have yourself one cracker of a story. Never boring, never lacking. Always giving. 5 stars.

This book we are introduced to Annie. A strega or “witch” in Italian. She is aiming to become a doctor and with her loving fiancée by her side…only she isn’t sure that this doctor thing is her passion, and her fiancée turns out to not be that great as well.
Annie soon embarks on a journey to find her calling and her true self. It becomes a eye opening journey that is taken with Annie and the gifts she finds and the strength she gains speak to who she is as well as the connection to women generations before her.

This book was such a great read! Witches and powerful women all entwined in one. The way the story provided past and present combined with a vast family history made it all the more fascinating. This is a first read for me by this author but the way she tells stories I can guarantee its not the last.

In book 2 we get the story of Red and Cher. They have a past together, but most importantly they share something important that can’t be ignored. This is a tale of second chance love, and acceptance of the unknown. Red was a great guy, and he deserved a happy ending. Together Red and Cher’s story is emotional, steamy, and unforgettable.

This is a story full of secrets not only for the killer but also for Lexi and Xavier who could lose their jobs or even their life for this case. I enjoyed being pulled into the story by the characters who are relatable. I enjoyed Lexi’s character the most as she is a determined female who goes after what she wants. She made the story fun and entertaining for me. This is an engaging story that was hard to put down. The twists and turns had me turning pages fast just to see what would happen next.

I loved this author’s writing, they made the story flow so easily, it was so easy to get hooked and lost in the story and the characters, there was so much to knot, and a want to know so very much more! I loved the character growth I saw, the sorry was interesting and yet addictive at the same time!

I think the thing I loved most as well as truly enjoyed about this novel, is the emotions that went along with this book. With Lazarus and his love, you did not just hear the words he spoke of how he felt about her, you literally lived it. It was a mind sweeping romance of love and passion, that was more than real, and was something so easily to visualize! I loved the emotions the author made the reader feel!

The suspense the novel gave me regarding Lazarus and his life style was so intriguing, honestly I have to say it was off the wall amazing. From passion and romance to danger and action, it was the perfect bundle of what I wanted. This book was very enjoyable and freaking amazing! It kept me hooked on every word and every turn, it was a great, fun and fast pace read, loved every minute of this ride.

I loved this book truly, and this is one if your into the romantic suspense reads as I am you for sure will devour this book as I did. This author is truly gifted and knew what they were doing as they built the story and plot! Amazing read! Defiantly a high recommendation, this one is very much worth a read!

This book is the continuation of Will and Tori’s story. This book continues the emotional rollercoaster ride that was started in book one. Will and Tori start out on the journey we all hoped would come to fruition after the first book, trying to build a life together post-cancer. The story carries the same depth and emotional wisdom that the first did and still draws together a truly compelling story that keeps you turning the pages to the very end.

I feel like some parts of the book lacked some grounding in reality, which I understand given that this is a fairytale scenario romance life. The author had shown such depth with her writing in the first book that I thought maybe she wouldn’t fade as far down the fairytale path as she did in this one. Let’s face it, no matter how much you love someone and what kind of situation you are in, you aren’t going to go from sick in the hospital to living together full-time without some bumps along the road. I would have appreciated seeing more conflict between Tori and Will as they settled in together, rather than the automatic perfection that the book drew.

Also, the sex scenes. I’m not a prude and I hate to harp on this because I know it is to be expected in a romance novel, I just felt it overtook the story at some points. We get it, they love each other and are happy to be together, but I felt like every two or three pages we were back in bed with them, or in the shower, or on the floor…the storyline was built well enough that readers could have gotten the message and been engaged until the very end without spending hours discussing all of their passion. Overall, I still liked the book and would be interested in reading more of the author’s work, this one, while just as well written and emotional, didn’t grab me the same way the first one did.
