The Book of Carraig (The Cross of Ciaran #2)The Book of Carraig by Andrea Matthews
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The Book of Carraig is the second book in The Cross of Ciaran series from Andrea Matthews, and I would very much recommend that you read the first book in the series before diving into this one. You will find yourself in a much better understanding of what is going on as this book picks up about a year after the first with the same main character, Ciarán returning home to Ireland. I really enjoyed this one and the attention to details was just as beautiful and vivid making the story even more enjoyable. I look forward to seeing what will come next!

Forever (Diamond Doms #9)Forever by Ivy Nelson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is a gripping read from start to finish. The is book 9 in the Diamond Doms series. If you do read the books in order it builds the characters and the storyline, however it can be read as a standalone and is just as enjoyable.

This is definately an adult romance based around the dominant male and submissive female. However there is an element of danger, and adventure as they try to bring down the people who are looking to harm their friends and family.
The relationship between Gemma and Russell is very intense not only when they are embracing their roles but also in everyday life. Russell has definately met his match with Gemma, she is fiesty and determined and full of sass. As much as she is willing to submit to him in the bedroom in everyday life she isn’t going to make it so easy.
All Russell wants to do is protect her and keep her safe, but how can he do that when she is making plans of her own to bring down their enemy’s.
Their relationship needs to be built on trust but can it survive when one of them breaks that trust by putting themselves and everyone else in danger?

Born to Fight (Can't Resist You, #1)Born to Fight by Brittany Anne
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I was hooked from the start and finished this book in one sitting! A post-apocalyptic story after “The Fall” where the UNR controls the communities and the people live like slaves. Hunter, one of the main characters, is part of the Resistance, which is trying to help the people. Rain, the other main character, is living a solitary life hidden in a bunker. When they meet the story takes off and is full of action, fighting, humor, and steamy romance. I liked the flashbacks to learn more about the characters. I liked picturing the bunker, the resistance HQ, the UNR compound, and the forests. An overall great read!

The God (Her Three Immortals, #2)The God by Hazel Storm
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The God (Her Three Immortals Book 2)
By: Hazel Storm
Genre: Mythology & Romance
Pages: 226

Now this is the story I needed!
After reading the first book ( The Don ), it ends in a cliff hanger and this book answered all my questions for that book. This also ends in a cliff hanger but I love love love Grey & Vanessa.
You ever wonder how a sex dream would be if you were dead?!
Hazel Storm definitely has a hit with this series I prefer this book over book 1 but as a series fanatic I would recommend that you read book one.
This read gets five stars it is very well developed and descriptive and captivating and it has you rooting for love but who do you want Vanessa with.
This read brings a bit of humor that I enjoyed it was thrown in at just the right moments.
Poor Vanessa the underworld has her stuck between love and a hard place. Lol.

The Don ( Her Three Immortals Book 1)
By: Hazel Storm
Genre: Mythology & Romance
Pages: 175

I am obsessed with mythology and this read put a cute little love square twist on it so to speak.
We have Vanessa as our protagonist who risks it all for her little brother Piper.
How much is your soul worth?!
Now luckily this is a book one of the series and once you are done you can jump into book two because I will say Hazel Storm will have you angry at the cliffhanger ending.
It is worth it, the overall story could have been developed just a bit stronger but again it is a series so it is okay.
Four stars and you will want to complete the series.
I wish there was more of a backstory on the gods themselves especially Grey who you will come to describe all the men in this read as sexy and captivating.
Just enough tease and build on the romance that has you rooting for love.
With love comes a price, how much are you worth?!

Entwined: A Cinderella Retelling (Stone and Cinder Book 1)Entwined: A Cinderella Retelling by A.L. Morrow
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The Grimm Brothers would be proud. This is not a retelling of Cinderella in the traditional HEA genre. I love that the Prince truly is charming and while his name is Callum it could’ve been Charming and no one would have batted an eye. Author A.L. Marrow really knows how to drag you by the hair into a story! I love stories like that. I was so engrossed I almost missed my stop.

Back to what I was saying about the Grimm Brothers being proud of A.L. Marrow. If you have ever read a Grimm Brothers fairy tale you know how gruesome they can be. This story reminds me of that when it introduces the trom-laighe.

Every character was well flushed out and gave you a sense of “knowing” them you don’t often get in books. Ashling is charismatic, witty, strong and beautiful. Even in the face of danger from her “family” and from the trom -laighe she rises to the challenge. Since reading her father’s journal she knows how to defeat these evil creatures when no one else does. The author doesn’t focus so much on the Step Mother/Step Sister aspect that is usually emphasized and instead centers the readers attention on the enchantment and the perplexing labyrinth of mysteries surrounding Glenblath.

*One thing I will note is that this book is not intended for children and has some very erotic M/M scenes.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This story will suck you in from page 1 and won’t let go until the last page. There is spice for the romance lover; intrigue for the adventure lover; and lots of romance for the all. The cast is well-written and so intertwined that they just blended into the story like they all belonged together. The plot is fantastic and like a spy novel with some BDSM. Every time I thought I knew what was happening; BAM, plot twist. The women in the book are strong willed and stubborn. They are not held back by much. This author has just been put on my list of favorites. I love a good book that can make my head spin trying to figure out who’s the bad guy and what’s going on. I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I highly recommend. 18+ crowd only.

Noemie’s Journey

AUDIO BOOK

By Victoria Saccenti 

☆☆☆☆☆

This is a romance with a little bit of a history. The days when mixed marriages were frowned upon. In this story Noemie and Richard come face to face with racism. You will get to go back to the sixties and read along as these two incredible people fight for love. Richard will do just about anything for Noemie. Noemie, having racism thrown at her daily, just wants to protect the man she loves. Even if it means she can’t see him or love him. How will these 2 beautiful people’s hearts find where love leads them?

 

Victoria Saccenti has opened the door to the 60s. A time when the people were divided by race and color. A time where people could get killed over talking to the wrong person. Growing up in the 60s I remember hearing such horrific stories. This is a beautifully written story about just such forbidden love. One I think everybody will enjoy. Noemie is such a strong independent woman. Richard is a strong protector, who loves who he loves. The characters in this story are believable in how life was back then. You will find the world around you fades away as you listen to this story of forbidden love. Hop on this audio train and listen in. Well Done Victoria Saccenti!  Well Done! ! !

Book Review: Scarlet Princess The Lochlann Feuds Book One
Authors: Robin D. Mahle and Elle Madison
FIVE STARS
This story of Princess Rowan and Lord Theodore is riviting. The travels and her being on trial. The end of that trial and the outcome. HOLY COW. I truly cannot wait for book two to come out. My KU subscription has lead me to more and more fabulous authors and this is one of those books that I have discovered. I will definately be reading more especially about the Lochlann Feuds.
Princess Rowan is definately outspoken and has spunk. She is a wonderful character. And oh my gosh, her “weather toe” had me in stitches.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

What an amazing first book! If the first book is any indication of this series, this is going to be an amazing series.

The United States fell and is now under the control of the UNR. The UNR controls everything within its borders. That is everything except The Resistance. Hunter Kane was born to a soldier, a former SEAL. His father trained him to be a soldier in every aspect from birth.

That is until he tries to save a woman and gets attacked by UNR soldiers and left for dead.

Rain ran away from hell two years ago. She escaped a controlling father and a controlling and abusive husband. She found a bunker and has been hiding out. One day trying to get some water from the river she finds a man left for dead. Using all of her strength, she brings him back to her bunker to try and save him.

Little do they both know that they each hold a key to the other’s destiny.

Haha wow just wow. Where to even begin? This book definitely take you on a Rollercoaster ride. Just when you *think* you have it figured it out, she throws a wrench in your theory and goes “Just kidding!!!! Watch what happens next!” And you are sitting there trying to figure out what the heck Just happened. There were a lot of little things that I missed and had to go back and read again. This book kept me up into the wee hours of the night and I just had to keep reading more!!! I can’t wait to read the next book and see what happens! Reader beware! That cliffhanger will spartan kick you off the ledge before you even realize what happened!

Entwined: A Cinderella Retelling (Stone and Cinder Book 1)Entwined: A Cinderella Retelling by A.L. Morrow
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

A.L. Morrow has brought new light to the story of Cinderella, with Entwined. A dark and twisty romance that I could not put down! The world the author created was beautiful despite the darkness that threatens beyond the arc.
Callum, the crown prince, is feeling the pressure to produce an heir to keep the arc protection from faltering and letting the darkness in. Married to the man he loves, Teague, it was decided a ball would be thrown on their anniversary to find a young lady to court and join them.
Ashling, our Cinderella of the story, only defies her stepmother’s orders and goes to the ball because the darkness has broken the barrier and she has to warn someone.
Little does she know that she has captured the attention of Prince Callum.
The character development is flawless, I felt for these characters as if they were part of my inner circle. A.L. Morrow has an interesting series developing that I can’t wait till book 2!

Forever (Diamond Doms #9)Forever by Ivy Nelson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This was a hot 5 star read and I really enjoyed it. Once I started I devoured it.
This was a great ending to the series.

Russell is not into relationships due to an ex, he does have his subs at the club that help with his needs. Gemma was married to Russell’s friend so she was off limits, until things changed. Russell is a dom and he finds his match in Gemma. She is great at challenging him and pushing the right buttons. There is so much more to their story that I don’t want to give away.

We get action, mystery, suspense, steaminess and so much more. We finally get closure on some of the mystery in the series as well. There are some intense BDSM scenes that may cause triggers for some. I highly suggest reading the previous books so that you know the characters and the storyline coming into this book. The author does a great job with her writing and she pulls you right in. I look forward to reading more from her. 1-click and get started today

Wrong for Him (Love Lottery, #3)Wrong for Him by Christi Barth
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Wrong for Him (Love Lottery Book 3) by Christi Barth is a contemporary romance that is a friend to lovers and brothers’ best friend story. It is heart-warming and entertaining and has the right amount of tension and angst and humour to give it that bit more. It is also fun with witty banter that had me laughing out loud. Christ has a way with telling her stories that are engaging. The push and pull dynamic between the characters made it a slow burn tale sweet.

She is determined to be more than just the little sister and he can’t believe he is worthy of a relationship. Not only do they find more on the historical building than they thought but maybe they can find more for themselves.

It is an easy story for a quiet afternoon escape.

Born to Fight (Can't Resist You, #1)Born to Fight by Brittany Anne
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Born to Fight is book one in the Can’t Resist You series by Brittany Anne. This is a science fiction romance, and while I don’t tend to read this genre, this story was really quite mesmirising. Extremely dramatic and sexy, the chemistry between the leading characters was explosive and steamy. A sweary, sweaty seduction set in a post-apocalyptic time that was imaginative and cleverly written. This author is new to me and I went in with a very open mind. I think I have found another trope to sink into. I am looking forward to reading more of her work.
Born to Fight was a gripping and exciting tale that had me totally invested and desperate for more. A real page turner. 4 stars.

Initially I assumed that ‘The Bow’ would be the third and final book in the ‘Her Three Immortals’ series. By the time I finished binge reading ‘The Bow’ I was genuinely STOKED to discover there was a fourth book! Although you could read these as stand-alone novels, I do recommend starting at the beginning because the main character really grows throughout the series in a really gratifying way.
This is a steamy adult series, made even more enjoyable by its engaging and fast paced story line, and its rather seamless way of modernizing the timeless theme of mythological multi-lover romance. Can’t wait to read the fourth book!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Kiss Me Before Flight by Thia Finn is a stunning second chance love story. This is my first read by this author, and it was a gripping, emotional and riveting story, with wonderful characters and a heartbreaking and honest storyline. This story is about violence, brutality at the hands of a monster, unexpected love and rediscovering oneself. Triumph reigns and dramatic scenes are plentiful. This story is about more than just romance. It is about new friendships, finding strength in the most unusual circumstances, finding the path to happiness and building destroyed self confidence. Callie’s faith in humanity is restored when she meets Conrad and the many people who offer endless support and encouragement. Kiss Me Before Flight was wonderfully written and perfectly executed. Often hard to read and deeply emotional, this remarkable tale delivers the message that love can heal even the deepest of wounds and happiness can be found when you aren’t even looking. 4 stars.

Wrong for Him (The Love Lottery Series Book 3) by Christi Barth is an amazing short romance read. Having read both of the first books in this series I was littler leery to pick up book three but once I got into it I was so glad I did. I personally love the characters in this novel and the fact that they had a close friendship before they become romantically involved just made it that much better. While this story is based on romance you learn about the characters pasts like their childhood drama, what makes them tick, and oh so much more. While I do think that emotions develop a little quickly this book is filled with strong emotions that run deep, a writing style that flows beautifully, and very well developed characters. Ms. Barth really put tons of details into this short story and this reader can’t wait for more.

Treasure hunting and healing
Even though this could be read as a stand-alone, I feel it’s a much better read having read book 1. In this book we get to know Arnaud, the half-brother prince. I found this book had a more serious edge compared to the first book. There was still banter, fun sexy times and treasure hunting adventures but they each have their own emotional traumas to deal with and the author did a great job in keeping it real. Loving this series and can’t wait for book 3 – so intrigued by Theo.

This book was by far one of the best I have read. Originally I had just got it on kindle unlimited but I proceeded to buy it on Amazon it was that good. Rowan and Davin get caught for trespassing and smuggling in another country they were once at war with. They have to face the clans in a decision that decides their fate, but she is able to convince the Socairans to take her only and let her cousin Davin free since her family couldn’t afford to lose someone else. Her Da constantly told her not to do anything stupid but she was a free spirt as was her cousin. What will happen? Will this be the end of Princess Rowan? Will there be war? Scandal? Read on to find out. The writer is very well versed in her speech.

While Rowan is in fear for her life wondering if she will ever see her family again, a romantic relationship starts building with one of her captures, but many twists and turns take place throughout the whole book. It does keep you on the edge of your seat wondering what will happen next. This book was so good, that I read it in less than 24 hours, and I am already waiting on the 2nd book to release.

Bow and arrows; Beau and Aroz. Why did it take me SO long to realize the connection? This novel ties together the past two books unbelievably well. Run, don’t walk, to read this one and the next. I am already so excited to find out what happens next!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the second  book in The Cross of Ciaran series. I would really recommend reading the first book  before this one as it will give you a  better understanding for the story.

We are back with Ciaran and Caitlin on the search to get Ciaran’s memories back. On their way to another dig Ciaran and Caitlin take a detour to view the other preists Caitlin has found. This other frozen priest is Ciaran’s brother Aodhan. Is he frozen like Ciaran was? Will be also come back to life as Ciaran has done? There is only one place he can find the answers and that in is the Book Of Carrig. But where is this mysterious book?

Add to this a serial killer in their timeline that threatens the lives of Ciaran but also his brother and Caitlin. Ciaran is the only person that can stop this killer and save them.

This book is a perfect mix of romance and adventure. I love the fact that Ciaran is from the past so we go backwards and forwards in time. The author does a great job of bringing history to life while making the story interested and intriguing.

This is a sweetly romantic book. Amelia has had a crush on Teague her whole life. When the opportunity of a lifetime drops into their laps to run a hotel, they go for it. Along with her brother (who happens to be Teague’s best friend), they go through a series of challenges. They somehow come out on the other side together and love each other. A well-written story that just flows together and reminds a little of a slightly “dysfunctional” family with the bickering amongst themselves, etc. But there is also laughing, hijinks and fun adventures. A good read to lift some of your spirits. Highly recommend.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

HOLY SPICE! I couldn’t put this one down, and was annoyed whenever life and responsibilities distracted me from it! The story was thrilling, kinky, and romantic. Sounds weird to call it romantic when the kink part of this book is a big part, mostly sadism and masochism, which was intense in some parts. What can I say? I am a sap, love is love, kink or no kink! Definitely not hearts and flowers romance, but super cute just the same. The mystery throughout is captivating. The found family parts of this book were heart warming. I also loved that though many of the women are submissive, they took control and did their own thing to help. Get it, girls!!! The only issue I have is the ending. It felt like a beginning… WHERE IS THE NEXT ONE? *sobs*

Initially I didn’t realize that this was the 9th book in a series, so definitely read the others first as the story is all very much connected. I will be looking out for other books by Ivy Nelson after the ride this series took me on!

Home to the Outback (Welcome to Bunya Junction, #1)Home to the Outback by Nicole Flockton
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Nicole Flockton has created a fantastic game of cat and mouse within this story. I adore the chemistry that pretty much leaps off the page and slaps the reader in the face, while attempting to keep it from the characters. I’m just a sucker for stories that I wish my life was like, I guess!

The story is set up so great! Small town boy moves to the big city to get away from the people he thought hated him, and avoids anything that reminds him of his past. All the money and glamour can’t fix whats missing though. When an opportunity to make things right comes up, he – reluctantly – jumps at it and finds that he misses all the things he lost living in a small town… including his old best friend’s sister whom had grown into quite the woman since he last saw her. Sparks fly, a barrier is established and lines pushed…

I particularly love how Flockton establishes the antagonist, and how subtle it is.
Cannot wait to read more of her series!
