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

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 really surprised me. It’s not a genre I have normally ventured into. I found it a surprising treat because it the action kept me intrigued. What an interesting time period. The characters were quite interesting and kept me wanting to learn more and see what happened to them. I found it had a strong voice. I could relate to characters. It still ran smooth. Quite a good book. I recommend it anybody that likes romance. You might find yourself as surprised as I was. I’m looking forward to reading book 2 of the series. Highly recommend.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is one of those books that takes sucks you in from page one and holds you all the way until the end. I love how the author starts write off jumping into the story action. There are no dreary pages of descriptions of the landscape around them. Grab you by the seat and let’s go action is the best way to go. The premise of the plot was exciting. An original way to cover the apocalypse theme and it was awesome. Everything ran together like a smooth jazz song. Highly recommend.

Strega - Magic: The Spirit Never DiesStrega – Magic: The Spirit Never Dies by Lynne Russell
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book is utterly captivating. I was immediately drawn into this story from the very first page. I was cheering for Annie the entire time that she was on a fascinating journey of self discovery. This book really highlights how important it is to listen to your intuition and to always follow your heart. Just because the life you want might not be what’s expected of you it’s never to late to change the course of your life and take a different path. It can be so hard to reach for happiness but it’s worth the risk and the connection between Annie and Ian is sheer magic! The flashbacks to an older time and exploring family history was so fascinating. This book is unlike anything I’ve ever read before and I absolutely adored it! This is definitely a must read story of romance and self discovery that transcends time itself.

Dead Sound (Things Unseen, #1)Dead Sound by Anise Eden
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Intriguing I feel is the best way to describe Dead Sound! I didn’t love it but I didn’t dislike it either. I wanted to know what was happening which kept me reading!
I enjoyed how the author wrote the characters as well. Con was definitely a protector, especially when it came to everything Neve. Neve on the other hand seems to do what everyone does(which is extremely relatable), she can’t apply what she knows to herself. What I mean is, as a therapist she knows how to navigate situations and help talk other’s through things, but she seems to struggle applying that same concept to her life.
Returning to work after being attacked, Neve walks onto the psychiatric floor and is greeted by patients worshiping at her feet, unnerving to someone who was attacked the last she worked. Seems to get caught up in a dangerous conspiracy due to one of her established patients Amos.
Con, a colleague of Neve who wants to be more, does everything he can do to protect Neve from getting sucked into the dangerous conspiracy, he also being one of Amos Doctors, feels the information that was decrypted from the “Book of Amos” would put her in to much danger despite the promise she made.
What does Con do?
Does Neve find out he’s withholding from her?
How is her boss involved?
What has Amos done?
If those questions intrigue you as much as they intrigued me, you really need to check this book out! You’ll want to know what happens, and the only way you’re finding that out is reading for yourself!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Strega: Magic: The Spirit Never Dies is such a wonderful read! It is out of my normal genre but I found it refreshing and welcomed the fantastic story-telling of the author. The way she was able to describe the characters, scenery, and emotions made me feel as though I was a spectator in 1800’s Italy and modern day Massachusetts. Even though a love story is at the center of this novel, it is far from a romance. The twists and turns made me want to keep reading until I was finished and even then, I wish the story could have gone on longer. I loved this book!

Oh my gosh! I cried SO MUCH while I was reading this book! I thought the first book in this series was heartbreaking on my emotions, well it has NOTHING on this one! I absolutely loved this ending!

This second book in The Stardust Duet is amazing. Phillip and Kat are finally together after being in separate centuries. Phillip risks his life to retrieve his mother’s ring that he wants Kat to have. Phillip plans for them to marry and work together for the rest of their lives. Decisions that have to be made may keep them apart. This is a romance story for the ages.

Luke (Default Distraction #4)Luke by A.S. Roberts
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I have read a few books from this author and she continues to blow my mind in her writing. This is the fourth book of the very addictive Default Distraction series. This book can be read as a stand alone but there are 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 could not stop until the end and I can’t wait to see what she will write next.

Luke was given up by both parents. He was raised in an orphanage by the only father figure he knew. Luke is now a single dad and band member to a very well known group. He wants his daughter to have the best life that he didn’t have. Luke is starting a tour and he needs a nanny to help out. He is shocked to find out that his new nanny is the girl he saw one day and he can’t stop thinking about it. Luke knows he is not good at relationships but there’s something about her he can’t get over. Will Luke be able to find love or will it slip through his hands once again?

Broken Chains by Karina Kantas – Review by Brittany Porter

Broken ChainsBroken Chains by Karina Kantas
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I’m trying to think of the best word to describe this book…intense?? Intense and addicting for sure. I went into this knowing about the possible triggers and violent storyline. Right up my alley for sure. Some might think of a character such as Liz as weak and broken, but she is such a strong a resilient character in my eyes. This author definitely shines at character development and building a gripping world that the reader gets easily sucked into. This would have made a great series, as I’m a sucker for detailed long stories, but this quick read surely didn’t lack any important aspects. I’d strongly suggest this author, as long as the reader knows what they are getting into and enjoys a good dark romance.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The best thing for me is finding new authors and new books. This was just the ticket. I love paranormal or fantasy type books and I love the way this one was written. The multi timeline element of this book really works well. I like how the past was used and how it really was the key to everything. The author really has a unique and refreshing story.

I was really hooked from the beginning and I could not put this book down. From the historical part of the book to the present day the story was flawless and really flowed well. I look forward to more from this author and I really hope this is the beginning of a good series.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

WOW! Just wow.  This was an amazing book.  I will state that some sexual triggers in this book. This book is based on our main female character who is strong and stubborn and brave as can be.  She stays strong even in the face of brutal fear.  She is at the MC to meet her dad after her mother dies.  She wants to know him.  The surprise of being told he had a child years ago is a shock.  The story takes several twists and turns and your emotions will be all over the place.  This author has captured my love for MC stories and the worlds she has built even between chapters.  I can’t wait to read the next one.

A.S Robert’s does a good job of bringing you into this Rockstar romance novel. This is book 4 in the series but I think you could read this as a stand alone as well. The author really draws you in this story and you can’t help but really feel for Luke and his past. I honestly had to have a box of tissues next to me for some chapters. Roberts does an amazing job paying attention to details in the story and really makes Nikki and Luke come to life!

I enjoyed this suspenseful story. This is a well written story that is fast paced, engaging and full of action. I enjoyed being pulled into the story from the beginning by the author’s use of details. Her characters are connectable and brought the story to life on each page. The twists and turns had me sitting on the edge of my seat just waiting to see what would happen next. Neve is just returning to work after being stabbed only to get more than she wanted. When a patient turns up in a coma, she and the doctor, Cornelius are left in a mystery they are determined to solve. Now they are marked with a target on their backs, will they survive? They are such great strong characters that kept me turning pages. I really enjoyed this book. I highly recommend this book.

I read this as soon as I finished the previous book in this Duet and loved it as much as the first. It’s really a direct continuation of the first story, and there’s slightly more angst where the first had more mystery. There’s plenty of sweetness, chemistry, and emotion, just like in the first novel. I really think the author captures the romance between the two main characters Kat and Phillip without getting too sappy, and we get to see more of Phillip’s character arc this time. This novel really does not disappoint!

I adore the movie Somewhere in Time and I also love this author, so when I saw the blurb of this novel I knew I had to read it. And it lived up to my expectations. The story is romantic and the characters are full of chemistry, and although it’s cliche, it’s still suspenseful and very sweet. The author really takes the reader on an emotional rollercoaster, and there are lots of details that made this a wonderful read. I read the next in the series straight after!

Strega – Magic: The Spirit Never Dies by Lynne Russell. This book was so good. It’s not a book you can read lightly you really have to think about it and pay attention but that made it much more real to me. Its the story of the women in the Ciofani family who are from Italy and they use magic. I really enjoyed Annie and she was such a strong, independent woman who mad great strides in her life thru this book. Annie came out stronger than ever due to things she had to undergo. The writing in this book made me feel like I was in Italy and made me almost believe I had magical powers! The story has a lot of action and you will be amazed at how fast you turn the pages. Do yourself a favor and read this amazing novel about Italian women and their magical powers!

When Elgin Huddleston left Willowbrook fifteen years ago he never had any intention of returning. When one of his DEA missions went wrong Hud has no choice but to go “home.” He should have gone to see his grandmother before she passed away but he could not bear to see the disappointment in her eyes.
Mary Beth Winters needed a fresh new start after her heart was broken. So she packs up her life, locks up her Domme/sub toys, and starts over in Willowbrook right across the street from Hud’s childhood home. When Mary Beth thinks life is finally settling down, bad boy Elgin returns to town. The two get off on the wrong foot but could Mary Beth help Elgin let go of the demons that trouble him? Mary Beth has a hunch that she will need to open that chest that she locked up five years ago when she moved into Willowbrook.
I love how the author took the time to build the relationship between Elgin and Mary Beth. I also love the adult content of this book. This is a must-read if you love streamy page-turners.

A beautiful ending to a beautiful story; I love this book. This author breathed life into the characters of Phillip and Kat. An enchanting, refreshing and enthralling story. I enjoyed their journey together and how they navigated the unknown in finding out the limits of their new reality. I felt their fear and uncertainty of the possibility of living without each other. The storyline is not far-fetched but realistic in the love that Kat and Philip share. A tale as old as time, Love’s Reverie should be your next read.

Love’s Reverie is the 2nd book in the Stardust Duet. It should be read after Love’s Refrain, to understand what is going on. The book continues the love story of Kat and Phillip, a love so strong, it spread across time. The story bounces back and forth between 1947 and present day, as the two use a magical mirror to time travel. This story had a lot of ups and downs, and at one point I was nearly heartbroken for the couple. I hoped things would have turned out better for them, but I was happy with the story and its happily ever after. I love the part James played in their story, and thought he fit perfectly into each era. Kat and Phillip are both old fashioned, and I loved that about them. There were a couple adult scenes, so mature audiences only. That aside, I highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a good old fashioned romance story with a happy ending.

OMG! This story is a great suspense psychological thriller that is a mad page turner. Conspiracies check, Political agendas definitely, lies and deceit absolutely, deadly and dangerous games oh yeah. This is a dangerous world our characters suddenly find themselves in one that goes far beyond what one can imagine, one where the reach is far and wide. It is an intricate and complex web that this author has cleverly crafted and it is one that is masterfully thought out and executed and is spellbinding and had me agitated, sitting on the edge and heart pounding. It is unpredictable, the tension is palpable and it has just the right amount of humour.
It is a political psychological thriller at its best. I am not going to give anything away it is one little gem that is best discovered all by its self.

I absolutely loved this story! When I first read the synopsis, I knew it was going to be my kind of book and it absolutely was. Caspian is the kind of character I know I should hate but there was just something about him and I knew he would change as the story progressed. He is your typical alpha male, billionaire character but I think there ended up being much more o him. Paisley. Knew I would love her straight away, yes, she was probably your typical female lead in this type of story but she was such a lovely person and she actually wasn’t afraid to stand up to Caspian which I admired about her. There was the angst I wated between them but also a slow burn passion that you could feel building with every turn of the page.
Overall, a really great read, one that I would highly recommend and I look forward to reading more form this author again in the future.

From the first sentence of this book, I felt like I was watching a movie. Absolutely captivating. I cannot begin to put into words how drawn in I was by not only the mystery/thrill aspect of this novel, but the romance between Neve and Con.

This book is definitely going to be making its way to my shelf. I wish I could read it again for the first time. To say I loved this novel would be an understatement. It has even moved its way into my top ten favorite reads; which is incredibly difficult to accomplish.
