Born to Fall (Can’t Resist You – Book 2) by Brittany Anne – Review by Rayne East
Born to Fall by Brittany Anne
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Resistance is futile
I absolutely love this series. If I thought Hunter and Rain’s story pulled at my heartstrings – Derek and Julia’s story nearly ripped them out. This story follows on from the first book and we see more development and action from the Resistance. The brilliant world building and detail that I have come to love from Brittany Anne are delivered flawlessly and had me engaged from start to finish. I can’t wait to dive into book 3. Totally recommend

My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Rick Me to the Top by Victoria Zak is book one of the Gracefall: Vicious Love Tour series. I really enjoyed this book! I couldn’t put it down!

If that lifestyle is not for her, why does she find herself agreeing to go on the summer tour with Joe. Yes, he’s her best friend and she’s found herself down on her luck but surely she’s crazy. She never thought she’d start to fall for this fantasy. Joe and Melody have been best friends forever but new feelings come to light while they are touring.

She’s been through a lot in life and she knows what she wants. Joe is really sweet and protective and together they are great. I really enjoyed these characters as well as their story! I can’t wait to read more!
Check In (Bobbins Sisters Series Book 2) by Debra Parmley – Review by Jenni Bishop
Check In by Debra Parmley
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
Check In (Bobbins Sisters Series Book 2) by Debra Parmley is a romantic suspense story. A stalker on the prowl, a bank robbery, some mystery, a little intrigue and some suspense and romance that round off the story. I would have liked the story to be longer though. I think the author’s writing style is better off aimed for a younger audience, NA, or YA perhaps. The romance is sweet, and the characters were likeable but the chemistry between them was lacking. It just wasn’t a page turner for me. That being said, it is just my thoughts; you however may love it.

This is the first book that I have read from this author and wow she had me at the first chapter. I love a good romance but this author exceeded all my expectations. This is the first book of the embrace tomorrow duet. I could not put this book down until the end and it only took me a little over a day to devour this incredible story.

Born to Fall (Can’t Resist You – Book 2) by Brittany Anne – Review by Angela Hayes
Born to Fall by Brittany Anne
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
5 Stars
Born to Fall is the second book in the Can’t Resist You series by Brittany Anne. I absolutely LOVED the first book in this series, so I was beyond excited to see this second instalment had released. Again, as with the first, this is a Sci-fi romance with post-apocalyptic and dystopian themes, resistance fighters, high stakes, and dangerous turns.
I have to say that this second book is just as good, if not even better than the first book. I am officially addicted to Brittany Ann’s stories- it was so easy to lose myself in her story, in a really great way and now I need more.
This is packed full of action, adventure, danger, drama, suspense, mystery, chemistry, sizzle, tension, intrigue, hop, emotion, secrets, lies, agendas, intensity, and so much more. I was completely immersed in the story, reading the whole thing in just a few hours as my eyes flew over the pages to find out what happens. Such a riveting read!
As expected from Brittany Ann, this was another fantastically exciting, steamy and emotional read- with heartaching parts, touching + tender scenes, sweet and romantic moments, as well as intense edge-of-your-seat gripping suspense…. all of which Brittany Ann masterfully choreographed into an entirely addictive and amazing story.
Highly recommended!!!
Thank you, Brittany Anne!

Snowfall Serenade (Soul Connection #3) by Nikki Lynn Barrett – Review by Rachel Moss
Snowfall Serenade by Nikki Lynn Barrett
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Snowfall Serenade was a really good read. I don’t think anything is going to come close to the magical, suspense filled treasure that was the first book but this was a great continuation of Zelda and Scott’s story. They go through trial after trial in this book, more than any couple should have to go through. This was an emotional, action packed book from the first chapter. This series is quickly becoming a favorite. I can’t wait to read the rest of the books Barrett is working on and planning for this series!

Snowfall Serenade by Nikki Lynn Barrett
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
This is a beautiful story that shares the journey of Scott and Zelda. The story starts with a heart wrenching tragedy and difficult decision that Scott has to make. In the wake of the tragedy, Scott and Zelda find distance in their marriage and they are struggling to heal and find one another again. Add in Zelda’s mental illness and the fact that Scott and their daughter can not only see but talk to ghosts, and you have a rollercoaster of a journey! There were times where this story literally took my breath away. This is the third book in the series, and while I could follow along this fast paced story without getting lost and enjoy every step of the journey, I wish I would have some more of their background to really get to know and better understand the depth of their characters. I am going to go back and read the first two for sure!

Red’s Peril Part 1: The making of an MC Prez (Satan’s Devils MC Vegas Chapter) by Manda Mellett – Review by Angela Packard
Red’s Peril Part 1: The Making of an MC Prez by Manda Mellett
I have read a few of Manda Mellett’s books and they have never disappointed. This one is right up there with the rest of them. Red has a hard first 25 years of his life, he took care of his dad for many years giving up his own life. When his dad passes, it is his turn. He loads up the saddlebags on his bike and rides off.
A one-night stand with Cheryl turns into a short run before she decides the road isn’t for her. Red ends up hooking up with a motorcycle club. Red is upfront, tactful, honest, and sees things from a different perspective than some of the other men in the club. He is patched in after making a decision that saved some of the members of his club. Can Red do what is best for the club, no matter what chapter he is in?
I enjoyed getting a deeper look into Red’s life. He is such an upstanding man and he brings that to the club, not letting the club change him.

Nikki has done it again. I really can’t believe the writing this wonderful author executes but it just really is thought provoking and imaginative in the best way.

The plot is so well thought out and just such a page turning read. I couldn’t make myself out it down!

I just finished No Way Out. Wow. How so many families intermix and become enemies and allies. Lilianna is the daughter of mafia boss Benito. She is property and nothing else. She is to be used as a pawn to ensure alliances and power are gained. In the background forces from another side are trying to bring Benito down and save Lilianna in the process. This book had so many twists and turns. Just when you thought you knew what was going to happen, you get turned in a different direction. Author Amy McKinley did an excellent job bringing you into the mafia world. Going to be reading book 2. That’s a guarantee.
Born to Fall (Can’t Resist You – Book 2) by Brittany Anne – Review by Lorrene Huisman
Born to Fall by Brittany Anne
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
I had loved the first installment in this breath taking series, and this one just as amazing as the previous. This time though we already had the character introductions done and knew the main aspects of what made them who they were, but I knew things are not always what it seems, this novel brought on so much feelings, dare I say disbelief? I was hooded and sucked into this, and did not want to put this book down!
The novel takes place after the events of the previous novel. Julia and Derek are amazing characters, and my love for them both only continued and became stronger in this moving novel, and with the events circulating them in this book, there was a lot at stake for them both, and not just the feelings and passion they felt for one another! The story was very realistic, say the world is being thrown into chaos. Every move you make can determine a uprising or downfall. Chose wisely, it may be your last. What if though, the decision you trust on is wrong and everything you thought you knew was right was actually the exact opposite? The book was powerful and brought on a roller coaster of emotions, and a lot of feelings!
I was hooked even more I would like to say with this one. As said Derek and Julia met in the first under circumstances that were probably less than ideal for them both. The passion and tender touch that gives that light house a shine that guides the boats home on the darkest days, was exactly what the feelings an souls of one another did for each other. It was powerful and moving. They were on different sides though, would they go against what they each stand for to find a home in each other that may truly be the one thing they should be fighting for in amidst of it all? Again, powerful and realistic writing!
This series, impacts me so much, it makes me feel more than just intrigued! I am kept wanting more to see how things will develop and how things will happen, by the way the book flows as well as decisions of the characters. The author has created a world not so different than our own, or more less what it could easily turn out to be if we don’t actually realize what is going on and prevent, and stand for what is and should be done. Honestly the realism is very real for me. This book series is one of favorites, and I have barely scratched the surface. This is not a series or book to pass up. High recommendation from me!

Come Back Tomorrow by Amy Argent
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
“Come Back Tomorrow” written by Amy Argent, is Book 1 in the Embrace Tomorrow Duet. It is a tragic, heartbreaking story about psychologist, Tori, who befriends Will, a young terminal cancer patient who has been admitted to the hospital she works in. There is so much mystery surrounding Will. He does not have any family or friends that visit him, and seems to have given up on hoping for remission. Tori begins to visit him every day and he starts to open up to her. Their bond is absolutely beautiful, raw, and honest. I couldn’t help but laugh out loud with some of their witty and clever dialog! This is an amazing story of finding peace, hope, and love, even when you least expect it.
Come Back Tomorrow (Embrace Tomorrow Duet Book 1) by Amy Argent – Review by Moriah Venable
Come Back Tomorrow by Amy Argent
Come Back Tomorrow is the first novel in the Embrace Tomorrow Duet by Amy Argent.
Will Everson is a 29 year old patient with terminal cancer. He refuses all visitors including his family and friends to make it easier on them. He knows he can’t fight the disease but has decided to pass on his own terms. DNR gives him the power to choose.
Tori is a clinical psychologist who works with terminally ill patients and doesn’t want them to give up hope. She wants to change Will’s mind about dying believing he should not give up hope. This starts their relationship.
As someone who has watched a few family members pass from cancer, this took me some time to get through. I can understand Tori resolved to try to bring hope but I can also understand how important DNR was to Will because I remember my Aunt chose the same and was kinda upset and surprised when she told me. But it was her choice and I had to respect it. Throughout the story, it just felt like Tori didn’t respect Will’s choice like she should have.
I feel this would have probably worked better if this was a friendship instead of a romance. With his timing coming to end, at least he would know he was loved and loved someone else. So I could see this story as working with either one.
Such a heartbreaking story with some sweet moments.

5 ++++ Stars
Ok, this time I really mean it when I say this is my favorite of the series. I say this just about every time I finish one of this author’s books, but I’m really serious this time! LOL
I’m so glad I made notes way back when this series started because every book follows a back story even when each spotlights a different couple. Characters from all of the Bodyguards series and even those series that came before tend to pop up unexpectedly throughout. This one was intense and had me gripping my kindle all the way through. As usual I read it in one sitting because this author’s books are impossible to put down. I’ve read almost all of her books and will never pass one up. How she keeps every one of them fresh and new I’ll never understand and always has me wanting to go back and read all of them all over again! Allie was so strong and I felt I connected to her even quicker than others. This had it all..Danger, Suspense, Romance, more danger, more suspense and I loved every single word.
You could read this as a standalone as this author does a fantastic job with making each feel like the first, but there is still so much you’d be missing by not reading them all.
Fantastic addition to this series!! I loved it!!
Tenacious (Billionaire Bodyguards Book 6) by Via Mari – Review by Shelly Kittell
Tenacious is the book you want when you are looking for romantic adventure with some steamy romance. I had to put this one at the top of my best of 2021 Dark Romance. The chemistry between Allie and Nick was palpable. Tenacious put mildly. Allie is flat out a strong and stubborn woman who can take care of her self. Call Nick Alpha but he felt a little old-fashioned to me, which some women still like. Toss in their friends and the adventures and trafficking case; these two went through heck and they came out stronger and together. If you like your romance spice, you’ll find some in there. Muy caliente! Great book! Quick read. I couldn’t put it down once I started. I highly recommend you should read this. Come on, you know you want to….

Sea Mage by Louisa Bacio
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Sea Mage by Louisa Bacio a four-star read that needed a little more direction. This is number ten in the series, something I didn’t realise before I started, so maybe I should have read the blurb instead of just the cover, in my defence it’s a very pretty eye-catching cover. But the world building was great, and I didn’t feel too lost in that way, but the lack of clarity as to who we were hearing from threw me more. Overall, a good story, could have just done with a little more clarity. I will be picking more of the series up and I really liked the characters and would like to get to know them more.

Snowfall Serenade by Nikki Lynn Barrett a five-star read that you need to read. This is number three in the Soul Connection series, and you could read it as stand-alone, but honestly, I would recommend you read them all as they build the background, and you get to know everyone. Nikki Lynn Barrett shows us grief and loss in a true and honest manner, its not glossy and light, its raw. Zelda and Scott will keep you hooked, they have a battle on their hands and its unsure if they will make it to the other side. This has been a great series and I am so excited for number four.

Rock Me To The Top (Gracefall: Vicious Love Tour) by Victoria Zak
Rock Me To The Top (Gracefall: Vicious Love Tour) by Victoria Zak is a wonderfully written friends to lovers romance that I absolutely loved reading. I’m a huge fan of Rock Star Romance stories and this one fit the bill perfectly. I literally devoured this book in one sitting . This is a fairly new author to me but I’m definitely a fan already. This is Mel’s and Joe’s story, She’s the daughter of a legendary rocker drummer . She is a cellist and her dream is to play for the LA orchestra. She’s also sworn herself from dating rock stars. Joe is the drummer for Gracefall and they are off on a four month long tour. Joe and Mel are best friends and both are in love the other. Can she trust him to not destroy her heart? What will happen when Joe’s secret come out? I highly recommend reading this to find out what happens next. I can’t wait to read the next book in this series.
Sea Mage (The Nightshade Guild, Book 10) by Louisa Bacio – Review by Alexandra Leith
Sea Mage by Louisa Bacio
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
This is book 10 in an author collaborative short story series. This was my first book in the series but each book is similar to a standalone. I say similar because each book follows the toddler Queen Ameria who is being protected by the Nightshade Guild until her family’s assassins are found. Each book follows a different Mage of the Nightshade Guild that has sworn to protect her. This book follows Serena, a powerful mermaid shifter who loves the ocean and beach life. Although she is powerful she begins to fear that her power isn’t enough to protect the young queen from her evil pursuers, so she decides to take up her love interest Peder’s offer to help.
Peder is the mysterious and enchanting leader of shifter sea dragons and he is willing to risk his secrets to help Serena protect Ameria from the monsters that stalk them in the night.
This book was full of thrill, chase, suspense and monsters that you would not expect. I did enjoy this book, but I did feel a little loss at times because I did not read Ameria’s previous back story in the other books. Because it was a short story I couldn’t really feel the connection between Peder and Serena. Despite all of that I still loved the ride of the story. The world building the author did and the immense strength of the main character was amazing and I can’t wait to go back to read the previous and future ones.

Born to Fall by Brittany Anne
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Born to Fall (Can’t Resist You Book 2) by Brittany Anne is a sci-fi dystopian romance story. This is the second book in this gripping tale where the world has been turned upside down. I loved the first book and this one was better. Brittany writes with passion, and it shows when the story pops off the page. Lies and manipulation, deceit and drama, danger and suspense are but a part of what this story has. Throw in some mystery and lots of passion and I was riveted. I love that it is told in multi POV which is my favourite way to tell a story because it really adds that extra layer that connects you more to the characters. The world building is well done, and Brittany paints a devastating picture of what could happen. It is raw and compelling and has you hanging on each and every word. We journey along through action-packed adventure and all the lies and secrets, hopes and pain, sorrow, and frustrations, right along with the characters.

I like how the author is able to bring context to all of the characters and bring complexity to their lives. I also like how the books are not predictable and grab the readers and keep their attention. I was really grabbed in and didn’t want to put the book down.
I really liked how the author was able to build the back story and how at the end of part one we are on a cliff hanger of a sorts. I like how all the characters are conflicted. I really cannot wait to read the next book and see how things turn out.
