Flockton did it again with this combination of romance and small town charm. Bringing life and a wonderful story to characters, new and old, Flockton provides another love story girls daydream about. The carryover in characters and storyline from the first book from the Bunya Junction series is well done and well worth the read. Again, I can’t wait for additional books in the series to be released.

I really loved this concept of the book series, I had not read the previous but I most certainly will be going back to get what happened previously with the kingdom at stake! It was fascinating to read in more than ne way, there was intrigue, mystery, romance, how could I not be swept away in this novel?
I enjoyed the take on this story and the two main characters who get matched together basically for the royal adventure they partake in, were more than grand in one way! Sasha and Arnaud were two quite different souls at times, but needed one another more than one way, and, basically in more than one way meets the eye. I loved their chemistry and how their personalities matched! I felt for Arnaud in truth, I can relate in a different way, to being abandoned, and well in his case never knowing till know he was actually of royal blood. It would be a lot to take in! Sasha was wonderfully written as well, she has a health issue that was more complex than I thought at my first glance.
Together they must unravel a mystery than brings more than just a good future, if you will agree. Sometimes life brings people together for a different purpose at the time, but in the end, the true purpose can be revealed at the conclusion. Arnaud was at risk of losing his home, his kingdom. He needed help. And then we have Sasha, she needed a thing or person tp help her unravel the mystery. Winner winner chicken dinner! They needed each other to get what each wanted and to share in the same end result! Honestly this was an amazing team and I enjoyed reading till the very end. The pace was quick and easy to follow, I was very lost in the mystery of the key that could save the kingdom. As I said starting out result for the two of them joining together, may have an unexpected ending for both their hearts.
The writing was very well done. I enjoyed the mystery and the feelings of intrigue I received as I read though this wonderful novel. I was immersed greatly, and felt I was along the journey of the adventure at times with Arnaud and Sasha. I had a lot of fun reading this, and I will defiantly be reading the book(s) prior and most certainly future installments. Wonderful series, impressed me, and I highly recommend!
I can see why this book has such wonderful ratings. It is quite the story and it easily drew me completely into their world. What a great concept this story began with..stealing does have consequences. The characters are developed nicely. I really *felt* for and with Rowan. I was hopeful, shocked and surprised while reading her story. She is a strong female character and I enjoyed watching her deal with her fate. Secondary characters are just a lively as Rowan. While I came to love some….others are surprisingly devious and possibly unlikable.
This is one of the reasons I enjoy YA books. The characters are highly entertaining and the world they live in is well developed. I can not wait for the next in the series!

Mahle and Elle Madison – Review by Lisa Helmick
I loved this book! Great follow-up to The Cross of Ciaran and just as adventurous. I love the twists and turns that run throughout, and the continuation of the relationship by Ciaran and Caitlin as they visit Ireland. There is a great balance of heartache, new love, and danger with some great historical flashbacks. Who knew an archaeologist’s life could be so exciting! We meet new characters, all of which have their own personality and lend a lot to the story. I am sorry to see the series end but look forward to reading more books by Ms. Matthews!

This story will truly pull at your heartstrings and play to your every emotion. This story truly shows that love discriminates against no one and when its meant to be its meant to be. Richard and Noemie fight through many parallels to be together, and the strength from their love and each other is what moves them forward in the extreme racist south of the 1960s. Noemi is a beautiful girl who is sweet and full spirited. Living with a drunken/abusive father she struggles to protect her younger brother and strives to provide them with a better life. Upon meeting Richard its instant chemistry that is physical, but deeply emotional as well. As we experience their journey to a HEA it becomes a tale that truly sticks with you. The narration of this story was completely amazing and at times it gave me goosebumps.

Jonas and Pandora are amazing together! Jonas and Pandora were made for each other! I absolutely loved learning more about Bunya Junction and getting to know more about some of the residents there. Pandora is such an interesting heroine. She sweeps into Jonas life like a hurricane and makes him realize that there’s more to life than just work and sticking to self imposed rules that were made because of past hurts. They bring out the best in each other and seeing both of their walls start to crumble was absolutely magical! This second book in the series was incredible and I really enjoyed that Ryan and Sindy’s story continued in this one here and there as well. I am so looking forward to learning more about Scott in the third book in this series! I have a feeling it’s going to be just as amazing.

Wow this book was absolutely amazing and I just could not put it down, so instead of trying to put it down I sat there and binged it in one sitting! This story was so interesting and not at all what I expected in a Cinderella retelling because it blew my expectations away. The three main characters in this book are Ashling, Prince Callum and his amazing husband, and I absolutely loved these characters. They were written so well! The world this retelling is told in however is much more than meets the eye and with fantastic world building you are thrown into a world where dark magic is what took her father from her and threatens to destroy everything good before the clock strikes midnight. I can not recommend this book enough! Definitely a must read!

Morrow – Review by Christine Taysom
Starting over is just what the heart needs sometimes. Ryan comes to Bunya Junction for what he thinks will just be a quick stop on his journey through life. Once he realizes he’ll need to stay a little longer, he still has one foot out the door. He can’t help being drawn to Sindy though, even after all the years that passed since they last laid eyes on each other. There’s such a strong undeniable chemistry between the two of them and even though they’re both deeply scarred they gravitate to each other. I really enjoyed watching the two of them come to the realization that what they both least wanted just might be what they need more than anything in the world. This is a sweet romance that really left me smiling at the end. I’m really looking forward to reading the next books in this series.

Whew, I’m blown away! That cover drew me in, not going to lie. Don’t judge a book by its cover usually, but with this one – sure. Expertly written, I could not put it down. The atmosphere at the cottage, when the dream stuff is coming thru the barrier – I felt like I was there. I’m a sucker for great atmosphere, and Morrow knows how to create it. I love how the romance is represented in this book where they fall in love with the soul instead of pretty face. It came across as real and deep. This book is based on fairy tale of Cinderella, but def for an eighteen and older. I love the symbols in this book as well. I’m looking forward to the next story!!

A cute royal, secret identity, semi-mystery, romance
This story has so many romance tropes in it, yet they all come together well to give an engaging romance novel, the first in a series. Kudos to Alix Nichols. A fairly quick and well paced read.
Boss Prince certainly gave an interesting take on the idea of a royal family. There’s a secret country and within the royal family is an “oracle” who tasked Prince Max with finding a woman who is “the key to the key,” whom will help lead the royal family to keeping their country safe, and hidden.
Once Max and Lucie are together their chemistry and attraction explode, despite them both knowing they should stay sway from the other, romantically at least.
Story ends well and sets up the next book with the continuation of trying to fulfill the prophecy and save their country from ruin.
I loved Lucie’s Aunt and Uncle. Their characters brought a bit of levity to the middle of the book and allowed us and Max to see a bit of background into who Lucie was outside of helping at her mom’s classic fan boutique.
I’m not really a fan of most of Max’s family as characters but I enjoyed how they helped the story move along and appreciate them for what they brought to the table.

Wild Desire was a good read. This is the first book out of this series I’ve read before. I wasn’t sure what exactly to expect when I picked this book up besides some romance and paranormal shifters. I was not expecting the steam! This book was probably about 70% steam and spicy content. This book had a great storyline, but I feel like it could have been executed better. There was a ton of chances to throw some suspense in there and more action and excitement and it was kind of just skipped over for more sex scenes. I enjoyed reading this book it just didn’t hold my interest like I really wanted it to. I hope the next books in this series gets better! This has potential to be an amazing series!

I was silly and didn’t realize this book was one of many in the series. It didn’t seem to matter though and I thoroughly enjoyed it! All of the characters are so entertaining and this steamy book was great from start to finish. I xant wait to go back and read all of the books from the series! This author gained a serious fan!

This book continues from where we left off at the end of Book #2- so if you haven’t read ‘The God’ yet, I highly recommend that you do so before starting on this story
The Bow is the 3rd book in her three immortals and this is a series that should absolutely be read in order, as each book leads into the next. I have enjoyed all three book and the author just makes me want to read more of her work. The author does a great job of pulling you in with her writing, you won’t want to put it down.
Vanessa has won the heart of God of the Underworld. But has won the wrath of the queen of the underworld. Now she has been assigned a task by the Queen of the Underworld- with her very soul at stake if she fails. The assignment sounds simple- but things definitely do not go according to plan- and Vanessa finds herself a prisoner in the Upperworld. So, how is she meant to complete her task if she can’t find a way to escape?
I would love to right more but I don’t want to give away any secrets. I cant wait to read the fourth installment in this series.

Wow! I’m a sucker for re-imagined classics, especially when they’re on the darker side. This has to be my favorite retelling of a Disney type story. This book is kind of genre bending, so it should appeal to many different readers. It is gripping and well written. Pair that with being on the shorter side, and I can bet you’ll finish this book in one night. I definitely did!

So I picked up this randomly as a new read. I read it was a remake of Cinderella bit missed the bit about it being “dark” and lgbtq friendly. I thought I misread when the story mentioned the prince’s husband. I thought it was a misprint. Then I got to the first steam scene! It was very intense and but yet so passionate. I could see the love the prince and his hubby had for each other. THIS book with NOT disappoint!

Morrow – Review by Melissa Collins
No person should ever have to deal with the horrible treatment that Callie did. What she endured over the years of her marriage were a true nightmare and Ms. Finn did an amazing job in describing her pain, suffering, feelings both good and bad and showing how difficult living in and then deciding to leave that situation is. It’s so easy from this side of the fence to make decisions and pass judgment for her not leaving sooner.
Conrad is a man like no other, especially as far as Callie is concerned. He would do anything to keep her safe and he showed her that as well as let her heal physically as well as emotionally.
I felt the despair, desperation and fear that Callie must have felt along with her roller-coaster emotions.
I throughly enjoyed this book even with the sensitive subject matter. I thought it was well thought out and written and will be looking for more books by her in the future.

I just finished reading Entwined and although it wasn’t your average romance. It was a really good read. I really enjoyed how it was a retelling of Cinderella but for adults. It was different and that’s what I like about it the most. Ashling is the Cinderella and Callum is the Prince Charming and Teague is the husband to the prince. Ashling goes to the ball in order to warn people about the creatures and didn’t plan on catching the eye of the prince. I look forward to reading the Ensnared and seeing what happens with Ashling and the guys.

This book was absolutely phenomenal! I started reading it with anticipation at this story from the start, and it did not ever disappoint! This princess being taken captive is certainly a surprise due to her demeanor. The story itself made me long for the content included in the remainder of the series. I must admit that I will wait in great anticipation until the next book arrives! I am interested to see how her family plays out their life events at the loss of their princess, and hope they react to her capture. I am also of course anxious to know the actions of her original captors! I’m on edge until the next story!!! I literally did not want to put this amazing book down! Every chapter held my heart in knots!

I just loved this different aspect of “Cinderella” story that is a MMF Fantasy Romance. This book had me hooked from the first page and to the end!! AHHHHHH!!!! I definitely need more and cannot wait until book 2.
The retelling of this story of a beautiful ball in honor of Prince Callum and the Duke Teague for their wedding anniversary. This is where Prince Callum is also hoping to find a woman to bear children so his family can continue the bloodline. This is where the Prince meets Ashling aka Cinderella. She is there at the castle on a different mission, but the stars align and a kiss shared.
Will Prince Callum and Duke Teague find Ashling after she leaves the castle and then ends up running away from her abusive and evil step mother? There is so much I can share about this book but do not want to give anything away. This book is truly fantastic and surprised me in so many good ways. Loved this book!!

Entwined (Stone and Cinder Book 1) by A.L. Morrow – Review by Krista Vaughan
A.L. Morrow brings a whole new twist to Cinderella in this reimagined version of the fairytale. The love story begins with two princes. The need of a blood heir leads to them adding a princess to their dynamic. Ashling is essentially a maid to her step mother and step sisters. Her father walked into the woods with the monsters after a lifetime of being driven crazy by the nightmares. The princes are hot, handsome and completely in love with each other. Ashling dreams of love while battling the monsters in reality. The characters draw you in and hold you until the very end. I devoured this novel and I am so excited for the next one! LGBT 18+

Aishling Glasby lives with her stepmother and stepsisters just like in Cinderella. I love that the Prince already has a husband. This is like a Grimm Brothers retelling. I was completely ensnared by the end of the first chapter.

Morrow – Review by Jasmin Slagle
One of my guilty pleasures is reimagined fairytale and this is a very unique one. I loved it. This incarnation of Cinderella is fast paced and definitely not a child’s story. There is lots of spice and chemistry. There are all the normal things like the wicked stepmother and the 2 spoiled stepsisters, the dashing prince and the slipper, but there is so much more! This version has a fierce and determined heroine! All it needed was to be longer!
I dove into this story completely blind. The cover alone got my interest. When I tell you I was surprised! In a good way. A great way. A.L. Morrow has such beautiful writing. Her descriptions of things, like the ball when Ashling and the prince were looking out at the party, has a whimsy and magic to it that kept me intrigued. What was shocking you may ask? The dynamic with Callum and Teague, and the reasoning for the ball. It was a Cinderella-esque story with so much more… spice. I loved it! The only negative is now I have to wait for more!

I am completely obsessed with this series; it doesn’t happen with many so when it does, I know I will return time and time again to read it. So now Vanessa has completely won the heart of Grey, God of the underworld but must deal with what a lot of us must deal with. The dreaded mother-in-law, only hers is worse because her mother-in-law is a queen. She accepts a mission from Grey’s mother, that at first thought sounds simple enough but, when are things ever that simple for Vanessa. Finding herself prisoner to Aroz in an invisible castle quite literally in the clouds, how will she complete her mission especially when her very soul is at stake. The author adds a touch of beauty and the beast to the story and for Vanessa it is not all it’s cracked up to be. After finishing this book, I was glad to see that the author has a book 4 coming out next month because I am not quite ready to say goodbye to these characters. This is a must-read series that will draw you in and not let you go, not that you would want to go except maybe to buy the next book!

This book was a great read, quick and easy but full of all the right stuff. I didn’t realize there would be an erotica side to it, so that took me (pleasantly) by surprise. This is definitely not your childhood Cinderella story. The characters were well written and likeable and made you root for the heroes and truly hate the villains. The story follows a young Cinderella-like woman named Ashling who goes to a ball to warn the prince of impending danger and ends up leaving behind a shoe. Although it follows some of the plot of the original Cinderella story, this is anything but typical and has a lot to offer. The fantastic way the world is described and the idea behind the villains and how they seem to live and attack was exceptional. I really enjoyed this book and that’s why I gave it 5/5 stars. I’m looking forward to seeing what happens next and how the plot and characters develop. Although the bones of the story follow the original fairy tale, I’m certain this author will make it as exciting as it would be if you were reading it all the first time. I really enjoyed this book and it only took me a couple days to read. Short, sweet and entertaining. What more can you ask for?

What a wonderful second book in the series. The continuation of the story of Cieran keeps you just as enthralled as the first. This installment has truths, lies, secrets, etc. intertwined into the story. It is so exciting and so mysterious. The mystery will carry you through the book. The wonderful characters and descriptions of the the beautiful country of Ireland will amaze you. Such a good investment. So worth the purchase. Highly recommend. I could tell you more but you truly have to read this book to experience it.

This second book in the Cross of Ciaran series does not disappoint. We are back to the 1960s, following Ciarán as he attempts to piece together the events that occurred at the time of his death. He longs to set Aisling free from her watery grave, and pay his lost love the respect that she deserves. He is also determined to find a way to wake up his brother Aodhán, who languishes in a museum, but appears to be as intact as Ciarán. His hometown bears little resemblance to how it looked in the 5th Century, but he eventually gets his bearings.
I got a little tired of all the deception with his identity, and was eager for him to fess up and admit who he really is. How long can a man covered in tattoos hide them? I wanted to hear more from Caitlin, who seemed to be less heard-from in this Book 2. However, the book was expertly written, just as Book 1, and it was easy to fall back into the story and enjoy Ciarán’s adventures. Definitely worth the read.

Scarlet Princess threw me back into my childhood and it was glorious. This book is something I would have read when I was a teenager. Actually to this day as well. It was action filled. A fairy tale with a twist.
I absolutely love the way Princess Rowan was written. She reminded me of Merida from Disney’s Brave. She was witty, sarcastic, strong, an outcast but still nothing got her down. Even after thrust into enemy lands, Socaira, with her life on the line, it never slowed her down.
Theodore, who is Rowans keeper while in Socaira, is very uptight as is all of the people from there but Rowan brings a new light to his life. The couple seem to start falling for each other even though they are supposed to hate each other.
One thing I really loved about this book is it was not love at first sight like a lot of fairy tales, the relationship built up as time went on.
Honestly this book is one of my favorites I have read in 2021! Can’t wait for more!

Mahle and Elle Madison – Review by Santana Hicks
This is an author that I never hesitate to pick up and have read every one of her books. One of my favorite things about this author is her ability to bring the story to life on every page. Her writing skills and attention to details not only give her stories a realistic feel but she makes her characters pop. This book is no different. It is the sixth book in this series which I highly suggest reading all the previous books as they are that awesome. I loved being pulled into the story from the beginning as well as kept engaged to the end. This is a fast paced story that is full of action and romance. The characters are strong and connectable. They give life to the story. In this book we get to see Nick’s story and he is determined to break Allie’s walls down. But the big question remains, will he pick up those pieces? I loved their growth throughout the story. Their chemistry is hot and steamy and you don’t want to miss them. This is truly a great story that I loved and I can’t wait to see what is next for this author. I highly recommend this book and this author.
