Holiday Hope (Holiday Express Book 1) by Shanna Hatfield – Review by Karyn Taylor

Holiday Hope (Holiday Express Book 1)Holiday Hope by Shanna Hatfield
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is a lovely, sweet, heartwarming historical, holiday romance by an author that was new to me before reading this book. I don’t read a lot of historical romance but I really enjoyed this one and could be persuaded to read more. This is the first book in a new series and judging by how much I enjoyed reading this book, I’m pretty sure that I will read the future books in the series.
This is the story of Cora Lee Schuster who has come west to be a mail order bride, only to find out that her future husband has absolutely no interest in marrying her. Living with his family she forms close bonds with his father, aunt and brother when he disappears. As they spend more time together Jace Coleman, brother of her betrothed, has to fight with his growing feelings for Cora Lee.
I really loved reading the interactions between Cora Lee and Jace, watching them tip-toe around each other, unwilling to accept that there could be something growing between them.
The author does a great job of character building, particularly in how different Jace is from his brother Jude. Jace is a fantastic character, as is Cora Lee, and I could have read about them for hours and hours. I was really drawn into their story and found it very entertaining.
I would definitely recommend this book.

5-stars

This was a fantastic Christmas read, absolutely perfect for this time of year! This is the fifth book in the Reigning Hearts series and in saying that I feel like this book can be read as a standalone as I was able to jump right in.

I love how the author managed to pull me in right from the start with these wonderfully complex characters, their story is at times heart breaking but overall left me feeling all kinds of emotions, and truly happy with how it all played out.

If you are looking for a quick Christmas read look no further, this is the book for you!!

I really enjoyed this book. Best friends that are cruelly torn apart. It is not the usual friends-to-enemies romance. A third-wheel to stir things up. Hormones…miscommunication…and a new guy. I was pulled in from the very beginning and couldn’t put the book down.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I enjoyed this scientific fantasy story. This is not my first book by this author and it is just as great if not better than the previous books I have read. I enjoyed being pulled into the story from the beginning. I enjoyed how the characters are connectable and kept the story engaging. This is a fast paced story that is full of action and just a great story. This is a story about broken love and finding it again. Two pasts that are full of pain, two worlds and how fate will step in to change things. I enjoyed the growth and chemistry between the characters. They brought the story to life and made it entertaining to read. This is a great pick up which I highly recommend.

There are not enough words to say about this book. I absolutely loved it. There were so many emotions. I definitely shed some tears more than once.

I’m not going to say too much so I don’t give anything away but Kirsa and Brock were best friends until something gets in the way. Brock, as a way to deal with the apparent betrayal, sets out to make Kirsa miserable.

The characters were great. I’m glad Kirsa had Rylan after spending so long not having anyone. I’m glad Brock came to his senses but he was pretty awful for a long time. Kirsa is so strong. She shouldn’t have had to be but she is a force to be reckoned with. I devoured this book!!

Kirsa and Brock are best friends. When they are teenagers, those feelings of friendship could be something more than that. But, when Victoria enters the scene, lines become fuzzy and their path forward together isn’t as clear as it once was. Miscommunication leads to Brock turning his back on Kirsa and he makes her life miserable.

For years, Kirsa deals with the pain Brock puts her through. When Rylan starts school with them, Kirsa is hesitant to become his friend. But, Rylan wears her down and they become friends. Rylan is someone who will stand by (and up for) Kirsa. When their friendship becomes a point of jealousy for Brock, will Brock finally learn the truth of what really happened years ago? Even if he does, can Kirsa forgive him? Or is there too much damage to overcome?

I really enjoyed this book. It is not the usual friends-to-enemies romance. Oh no…there is so much more. Add in the third-wheel to stir things up…teenage hormones…miscommunication…and a new guy…and you have the recipe for a great story. I was pulled in from the beginning and couldn’t put the book down until I finished it. I feel like there is some unresolved issues and storylines that I would love to see how some of their stories develop…so I am already looking forward to future books!

This was a well written book! I liked that it was a high school setting but didn’t seem childish. I mean, yes the reasoning for what Kirsa went through was childish. But it was maturely written. I would love to see more of Rylan’s story in another book. A lot of this book reminded me of 13 reasons why but without the dark elements and an actual romance. Great read!

Embracing Jared (Thrill of the Chase, #3)Embracing Jared by Anna Paige
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Having been dealing with dementia in my own family lately this novel hit deeply. At first I thought it would just be another feel good, bad boy meets good girl, good girl brings out true nature in bad boy which isn’t bad at all, but it is not. I did not read the first two books so I came in a little lost and although this can be a stand-alone book I wish I would have read them in order. Now I am going back and reading them again.
Another similarity in my life to this book is I am a nurse. I have been there with my patients when they don’t recognize their own children or when they tell you stories from their childhood as if they happened yesterday or when they cry out for someone they loved that has passed on but they no longer remember. I felt every moment of Madison’s journey. I think the way she handled Jared was exactly like she should have. When the children of your patients like to give orders, but keep their distance, most days you wish they were closer so you could slap some sense into them.
While this tale had it’s happy, feel good moments it had a deeper, stronger message. I laughed and I cried. I will be reading this one again!! Thank you to the author for putting out some amazing material.

Born In Darkness (Mafia Elite Book 3) by Amy McKinley- Review by Jeannie Anderson

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

” Born in Darkness” is the third book in the “Mafia Elite” series and like the first two books, this book is phenomenal! Even though this is the third book in the series, it was no copycat of the previous books. The focus on different characters make each story unique. Emiliana and Stefano may have both been damaged in their lives but they aren’t victims or weak. They are intelligent, strong characters whose chemistry is sizzling.

4 out of 5 Stars

Madison Cole is a dedicated RN and caregiver. She cares about those that have seemingly been forgotten about by their families. This costs her a lot. It has cost her jobs, friends, and her supposed family. Madison has found herself in that same situation again. She cares very much about her current patient. And by telling off his son in an email that he demanded daily, she might have just lost another job.

Jared Shaw is a rock god. Jared has been at the top of the rock game for nearly a decade. It was hard getting there. He lost so much along the way, sort of including his last family member, his dad. Jared is caring for his dad the only way he knows how and following his dad’s wishes. When Madison calls him out in an email, Jared wants her head and her job. Jared slips into the facility where his father resides to take what he wants but is waylaid by a miracle.

Will Jared be able to handle allowing Madison to continue caring for his father? Will Madison lose everything, including her heart, because of Jared? Can Jared find peace with his dad before it is too late?

The author makes sure that you feel all the feels. When Madison is down, the sadness is real. When Mr. Christopher is happy, the elation is so high. When the heart breaks, it breaks for everyone….everyone!!! I am just joining this series. I can only hope that the others are this good. I couldn’t put this one down. Who needs sleep anyways.

Cover Designer – Jessica Hildreth Creative Book Concepts

One planet, two worlds. And only Fate could unite them.
Trevyn Dar was once a Hunter of Thrane, feared throughout the galaxy as the son of the Butcher of Four Systems. But he clawed his way free of that bloody legacy to find his true path, as captain of a ship serving the anti-slavery goals of the Interstellar Council of Abolition and Rescue.
Lael Saphora is Hinarr, shapeshifter, sharing her skin with a snow cat Companion, but, like all her people, hunted, and oppressed because she lacks the telepathic skills of the genetic Thranes of her home planet. Since she witnessed the brutal death of her father as a child, Lael has been fighting for her people. She leads the Uprising against the iron grip of the Thrane Ruling Houses.
When Trevyn receives unusual orders from Rescue to seize a ship smuggling weapons for slavers, he discovers the darkly compelling Lael at the helm—no slaver, but a political prisoner, whose extradition to Thrane means torture and death. His journey to uncover what’s behind her false arrest takes him back to a home planet he had hoped to never see again, reveals an ugly conspiracy at the heart of Rescue, and rips open old wounds. But Trevyn and Lael share a common past, and only love can heal two hearts broken by an ancient pain.

Blindsided: A Contemporary Sports RomanceBlindsided: A Contemporary Sports Romance by T. Christensen
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This was an emotional friends to enemies, bully romance. I was crying pretty much from the start, I couldn’t believe what Krista went through. Brock and Krista were friends since they were 4 years old. When a new girl (victoria) moves to their neighborhood they become friends with her too. Due to a heartbreaking, humiliating scene there is a devastating twist that turns Brock completely against Krista and for three years she is bullied, and picked on so badly that she has severe anxiety and keeps to herself in school. It’s finally her senior year and all she has to do is try to get through the next few months.

When a new boy (Rylan) starts school he tries to befriend Krista but not without some resistance from her. She’s pretty sure that Brock will squash their friendship before too long. But Rylan refuses to listen to Brock and continues to be her friend. This friendship stirs something in Brock that he doesn’t like and he starts to see red whenever Rylan is with Krista. As the story moves forward questions start to arise about the past. Will the truth finally come out? Can Krista forgive Brock for the past?

Overall I really enjoyed this read. I loved and hated some of the characters. My most favorite was Rylan, he was so good to Krista and never doubted her. He was a true friend, exactly how Brock should have been from the start. Brock was one that I’m still a little angry with, I wasn’t happy with the choices he made and he has a lot of making up to do to Rylan. I can’t help but want a little more from these characters. I feel like Victoria isn’t quite gone yet and I would love to see Rylan find his true love. If you’re looking for a great emotional read with wonderful characters that you connect to this is the book for you. I can’t wait to read more from this author. 1-click and get started today.

This is a sweet romance novel. Focused as a historical novel, the main character comes to town as a mail order bride. I love the fact that the groom is a no-show but his brother is an identical twin and their dad is the matchmaker. This made the plot very entertaining and this a truly fascinating and fun read. Quick read for those cold nights tucked under a blanket with a hot toddy or hot chocolate. The characters are well-written and so relatable. You can feel their angst. It was nice to read a happy and inspirational romance. I love to have those thrown in. Since this is Book 1 in the series, I can’t wait for the next one to come out. I’m hooked.

This book was one simple word, amazing! While I was expecting a good rom com with maybe some drama and tension mixed in, I was not expecting this book to have such realistic characters that made you fall in love with the entire story. This was a first time author for me but it will not be my last. The characters were both realistic and fantastic, the plot was intriguing and fast-paced, with plenty of romance to go around. Full of friends, loves, and enemies this book had me hooked from page one until the very end, I just simply couldn’t put it down. So if your looking for a new rom com this week then perhaps you should pick up a copy if this book and join Krista and Brock in this realistic rom com story.

Amber Tatum puts up the least amount of Christmas decorations in her bar that her employees with let her. Giovanni moves to town with his daughter to start fresh and take over his grandmother’s café. When Gio walks into Amber’s bar, they are instantly attracted to each other. This story made me giggle at times and made my eyes fill with tears at others. I was rooting for them from the beginning. Hoping Amber would be able to get over her past and enjoy Christmas again. Hoping Gio could love someone again after a divorce that left him raising an infant.
This was a very enjoyable read that makes me look forward to having my family around me for Christmas.

Wow. Most people experience bullying at least once in their life time. Some people more often or more severe than others. This book touches on how it can affect a person and really describes the anxiety and panic well. It’s very relatable and is a real growing up novel. I would suggest this book to anybody who likes reading about drama, deception, and betrayal. The plot is fantastic!

This is a cute little story. The story rolled along nicely and I liked the idea of it. I did struggle to connect to the characters. I almost felt they were a bit two dimensional and needed just a bit more to bring them to life.

While this is the fifth in the series it can easily be read as a stand alone. Its a classic story of a grumpus on Christmas who meets the holly jolly. How they meet, get along and who does the changing. I really liked Gio but felt that Amber is wishy washy and she overcame her issue too easily

No Way Out (Mafia Elite, #1)No Way Out by Amy McKinley

After hiding out after his mother’s death, Matt/Max is back to take what belongs to him. It does not matter who stands in his way, including his own father. He just needs to stick to his plan and try not to let the one complication that has come to light stray him from his mission. That complication, however, is LOVE. Liliana has also lost her mother, and the only parent she felt ever loved her. Will she be able to survive with her father and his people, or is she just another pawn in his long-term game? This book is one you won’t want to put down. I made myself take a break from going straight into book #2. The author did a great job, and I can’t wait to learn more about these mafia families. The suspense and action in this book kept me wanting more and more!

This book was chilling. The trauma displayed in the teenage girl’s life is haunting. Let’s just talk about that first. I turned every page just WAITING for it to get better! But wait, there is so much more to this book! I like the way the author gets us twisted into the love story, and shows us how ignorant we can be as young lovers (don’t forget about the old people too, sheesh)! The ending was so unpredictable for me! This book was great though at putting you in the shoes of your teenager, and I will be paying closer attention to mine!

I thoroughly enjoyed this period romance set around the holidays. It’s one of those sweet, innocent romances that has just the perfect balance – wonderful character development, scene-setting that builds a world without being overly descriptive, and a genuine story. The author did a great job weaving a historical tale of a young woman setting off for adventure as a mail-order bride in the Wild West and the family who takes her in as one of their own. Such an engaging story, I read it almost completely straight through.

Master TrentinoMaster Trentino by Sylvia Black
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

 

5 Stars

 

Master Trentino is the third book in the Masters of the Consulate series by Sylvia Black. As with the previous two books, this is a delicious, dark, paranormal romance- with vampires, shifters, witches, conspiracy, hidden agendas, an underworld society, politics, the supernatural, magic, danger, tension, intrigue, drama, emotion, fantastic world-building, twits, dramatic turns, and a whole lot of sizzlingly HOT details.
This book could be read as a standalone, but as there are interconnected details, as well as recurring characters that span the three books (so far)- I really recommend reading the first two book so you know what has happened previously, as they contain information that I feel would help you to better appreciate this book, and the series as a whole.
In a turn of events, Master Trentino feels he has no option but to turn Angel (a psychic) in order to save her. This sets them off on an action-packed adventure, facing danger to uncover corruption and hunt down enemies. Angel will need to decide who to trust and what side to choose. Things get complicated and their chemistry isn’t the only thing simmering in this intriguing underworld society. What transpires definitely makes for riveting reading!
I am really excited to find that there are 12 books planned for this series! Colour me happy!
Bring on Book Four!!!
Happy Reading!

Thank you, Sylvia Black!

Blindsided: A Contemporary Sports Romance by T. Christensen is a dramatic story with a friends to enemies to lovers/bully romance- with betrayal, emotion, angst, tension, intrigue, and much more.
What happens when two neighbours become best friends with so much potential for more, only for betrayal and miscommunication to ruin everything. Things take a dramatic turn when one forms an agenda to make the other’s life a living hell- and things get pretty intense.
The story is has some interconnected details and other interesting touches. The tension was quite palpable and I’m pretty sure the author took delight in toying with my, and the characters, emotions. We were put through the wringer, that’s for sure! There were times I wanted to scream and shake the characters, and other times I didn’t like them very much. But, as always, the author delivered an intriguing read.
Happy Reading!

Blindsided!!! The perfect title for this book.
After being glued to this book for the last 2 days, I’m not sure how to put into words how amazing it is.
The author took us on a journey, from the first words I read I fell in love with this author. Her talent for character building is out of this world. Each character was needed in this book and just elevated the storyline.
This book isn’t your normal run of the mil “boy next door”, “enemies to lovers” or even “bully romance”. It’s like all these genre’s went and had a genre baby all mixed together.
Absolutely 100% worth the read.

This is a beautiful romance reminiscent of the tale of Scrooge. I love feel good romances especially this time of the year. This book will definitely pull on your heartstrings as it did mine, leaving me teary eyed several times.

Amber had a horrible childhood which leads her to hate the holidays but when Gio walks into her life, all that changes. Giovanni is a single dad that loves life and Christmas. He lights a spark that turns into a flame in Amber. After all the tragedies of her past, can Amber open up to him? Can the magic of Christmas bring them together?

This book is part of a series but can be read as a stand-alone. The characters are wonderful and the story will warm up your heart. A great story just in time for the holidays.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This third book hands-down is my absolute favorite in the series. The characters are extremely well written and I love how fierce not just Stefano but also Emiliana are. It’s amazing to me how they almost match fierceness more than any other couple in the series so far. This book showcases just how despicable Frank is and the lengths that he will go to to try to destroy his son and Emiliana.

You start to see how the “family “is beginning to change and move into a new era. With each book especially this third one you start to feel the shift which keeps you on the edge of your seat and makes it hard to put down.

With each book we learn more and more history and more secrets come to light which serves to keep you 100% enthralled from the first page to the last page with anticipation. I enjoyed that the characters from book one and two are also in this book and still have great significance in the story.

As each new book comes I feel closer and closer to each character and become more fascinated with what will happen next. This author does a great job of weaving an amazing story and backstory as well as continuity throughout the series. I cannot wait for the next book and again this one was my favorite so far and easy five star read.

Emiliana grows so much from the start to the end of this book. Stefano wants to be better than his family. The sparks between these two are crazy.

This author blows me away with every book I read. Bravo. I love this part 2 so much.At some point, I was ready to throw away my kindle. No, no, no. I was shouting. The way this book made me feel through was very determined to be very open minded about the people around me. The injustice that happens to people when they are different then the norm we have boxed for. This character was strong in his beliefs and wasn’t going to change for anyone. They were true to themselves. Thank you to the author for adding this perspective to the story. It was a little confusing at first but as the story progresses you get to understand and accept the differences. As always, there are so many twists and turns and drama to keep you on the edge of your seat. Love it!!

This is a story about childhood friends that are cruelly torn apart. Poor Kirsa has had her best friend and the boy she’s been in love with since she was a small girl ripped away from her. Brock has always been the boy that captured her heart and is never far from her mind. It’s heartbreaking to see how he’s gone from being her protector to her tormentor in the blink of an eye. It takes another guy moving in on his territory for him to finally snap out of it and realize that he may just have jumped to conclusions and misjudged her this entire time. The real question is how much can one girl take before she breaks and pushes you away for good? This book pulled me right in from the very first page and I just couldn’t set it down. The pull between Brock and and Kirsa is out of this world and I am a sucker for true love. This book is a must read that will have you on the edge of your seat from start to finish.
