No Strings Attached by Lara Ward Cosio – Review by Katie Matthews

No Strings AttachedNo Strings Attached by Lara Ward Cosio
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

 

I LOVED this book so much! This author has written some of my favourite books and I was so excited to see a new release from her and it didn’t disappoint at all. Tanner and Kayla were such lovely characters to read about, they had an undeniable chemistry and this is what this author writes about so well. She makes her characters really relatable and you feel as though you are right there with them in their story. There were some great laugh and loud moments mixed in with some very romantic times too. They both had such hectic lives but I was rooting for them the whole way through.

I loved every second of this story and cannot recommend it enough! I would definitely rate it more than 5 stars if I could and it is definitely up there in my top reads of 2021!

Ye Gods! The Law is an Ass! (Donovan Trait Book 2) by Seelie Kay – Review by Sunday Barnaby

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Ye Gods! The Law is an Ass! by Seelie Kay
Five Stars

Ye Gods! The Law is an Ass! is the second book in the Donovan Trait series by Seelie Kay. Seelie Kay is one of my go to authors. I absolutely love the humor she adds to the serious situations her characters are in. Make sure you have read First, We Kill All the Lawyers before starting this book to get the full effect of what’s going on in this story. Donovan and Shirley are about to tie the knot and things go sideways. That’s all you get from me. Read the story. You definitely won’t be disappointed. It is a great fall read!

The Book of Carraig (The Cross of Ciaran Book 2) by Andrea Matthews – Review by Karen Pearman

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

After reading book one in this series, it was a must that I read this one. And I’m glad that I did as I enjoyed it probably more than the first one. I love how the author can take me on such an adventure filled with history like she does. I will point out that I think you need to read the books to fully understand the story being presented to you. It may work as a standalone read, but I feel that you would appreciate it more reading both books in order. She does an amazing job describing the scenes to make me feel like I am there. I loved these characters. I especially love reading a story about a male hero for a change. That was one of the things I appreciated with the first book, and this was just as good. If you like historical paranormal reads I highly suggest you pick this, and the first one, up.

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

The Book of Carraig is the second book in the Cross of Ciaran series. I highly recommend reading the books in order. This book is a continuation of Ciaran’s journey. Ciaran is a 5th century Celtic priest who wakes up in modern day New York City. At the end of the first book, he goes to Ireland with Caitlin. The second book picks up in Ireland, Ciaran’s birthplace. Ciaran struggles with remembering the past yet is still keeping it from Caitlin. He must eventually admit the truth to her. He awakens his brother from the same slumber he was in. Together they must defeat evil that has followed them to the 20th century. This is a fantastic book, and I enjoyed it as much as the first one!

THE BOW (HER THREE IMMORTALS Book 3) by HAZEL STORM – Review by Kayla Octaviano

The Bow (Her Three Immortals, #3)The Bow by Hazel Storm
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Hazel Storm has done it again in her third book in the Her Three Immortals series. She has taken such a common concept, dealing with your boyfriend’s mother’s dislike for you, and made it feel the size of a God. This series is relatable, but also so fictional, it makes you want to be lost in these books.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Friends to lovers and more.
This is the third book in the series and can be read as a stand-alone but is so much more sweeter when you read them all. They are all based at the beautiful Three Oaks Inn that the friends won in the lottery but each story is from individual perspectives. I loved all the characters in the series but I have a sweet spot for Teague and Amelia. Their friendship was so cute and special. This book is a wonderful romantic read that had me laughing out loud and tearing up simultaneously. Highly recommend.

Forever: A Diamond Doms Novel by Ivy Nelson

Forever: A Diamond Doms Novel is actually book nine in this series by Ivy Nelson. Going in I honestly had no idea so with that being said I will definitely going back to the beginning to see what has happened. I’m a fan of Dark Romance mixed with Erotica this one definitely fit the bill. There are plenty of hot and steamy BDSM scenes that will leave you needing to cool down. Russell has one job and that is to keep Holly and her friend Gemma safe . Holy Cow these two together is pretty intense. Can he keep Gemma safe? Will he break the rules? I fell in love with both Gemma and Russell’s characters and will be going as quickly as I can to grab this whole series from the beginning. I must know where and how everything started. I highly recommend reading this book to find out what happens next. I look forward to reading more from this Author.

Love’s Refrain (The Stardust Duet, Book 1) by K.G. Fletcher – Review by Jeannie Anderson

Love’s Refrain takes the reader on a mesmerizing and breathtaking journey. It is truly an epic love story. The love between Katherine and Philip is genuine and sweet. I adore that the book is told from both Katherine and Philip’s perspective. The story is flawless and flows easily between the present and 1947. Each character is so richly developed that you can almost hear Katherine singing or Phillip playing the piano. This was truly delightful to  read. I cannot wait to devour the rest of Katherine and Philip’s love story in Love’s Reverie.

This book messed me up! I was like so blown away and then boom boom boom what I thought I knew wasn’t what I knew and so on. It was unbelievable in the best way and honestly I’m still shaken about how awesome of a story it was. It made me think, feel, dream, and it simply just infiltrated my Brain and took over!!!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

What an intriguing book! What is reality? Which is the dream? Gavin is a very interesting character. A cop with heart and a very interesting personality. Lou, Gavin’s new partner, is an intriguing woman that excites Gavin in more ways that one, is smart and shows how she can go with the big guys. I literally could not stop reading once I started. I was pulled into the story and wanted to figure out if this was a dream or reality. The plot was exciting, with its twists and turns. These a bit of spice spattered throughout to heat up the action. For 18+. Strongly recommend.

Why we don't die in DreamsWhy we don’t die in Dreams by Debbie Zello
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Why We Don’t Die in Dreams was a wild journey from start to finish. I honestly could not put it down. So many twists and turns that it got me hooked first thing.

The main character, Gavin, is having these strange dreams about a woman who always says something along the lines of “he killed her, don’t let him kill me.” Gavin thinks they are strange but thinks nothing of them at first. As time goes on, a woman is found dead in a dumpster. Gavin realizes that maybe his dreams are more than that. You then follow Gavin all over the place to find out what is real and what is not.

The author, Debbie Zello, did an amazing job with this book. With so many twists and turns you would think she had trouble keeping track but it was flawless. The transitions were really smooth. I loved the way Debbie wrote Gavin. Handsome, fit, witty, sarcastic but still a flawed gentleman. I fell in love with him instantly.

The only thing I did not enjoy was the book ending. I must read more!!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Love’s Refrain (The Stardust Duet – Book 1)
By: KG Fletcher
Pages:267
Genre: Romance

I have never read a book so fast!
If you love love and time travel this is for you.
A tale of love, time and death, is time enough?
A true story that love conquers all.
What would you do if you were transported back in time.
In 1947 the female lead goes on a journey that will have you wanting to skip to the end, I almost read the last chapters first because I was captive after the first page.
KG Fletcher has a way with words describing the story in a ay that makes you feel as if you are a character right there on the page living scene to scene.
Five stars and I cannot wait until book two. I hope I get time to read this again soon.

This book was intriguing! I was excited to read it after the first one and it definitely didn’t disappoint! The execution of the relationships was relatable and the setting was gorgeously described. I wished I could be there and know everyone. Ciaran and Caitlin’s relationship was relatable and their separate inner turmoils were so understandable. Matthews writes an excellent story and I didn’t want to put it down!

Why We Don’t Die in Dreams by Debbie Zello is a page turner that keeps you guessing every step of the way. Just when I thought I figured something out, it twisted and I was wrong! I was quickly sucked into it, and I was kept that way the entire time. I love books that make it hard to figure things out, it can be really hard to do. But Debbie Zello does an excellent job of keeping your guessing and guessing wrong. I think everyone would enjoy this book! I can’t wait to read the next part!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The story of Russell and Gemma is a steamy one. They are perfect…Russell being the sadist DOM who only had subs until he meets Gemma who at the time is married so he of course doesn’t do married women after his past.

Gemma is his match in every way, the way they talk to each other just oozes chemistry. Her kinks and what she likes matches his. Gemma wants him from the start but her in name only marriage stops it from happening. At least for a little bit. He can’t resist her. This book is so good I want to read it again and again and again.

The Bastard Prince (It's Raining Royals, #2)The Bastard Prince by Alix Nichols
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Alix has done it again. This story involves Sasha, who has kidney disease and refuses to allow it to run her life. She is the next key to the key and has no idea what kind of adventure she is in for. Arnaud, the good-looking plastic surgeon who knows nothing about his family line or where he really comes from is in for quite an awakening when he is approached by people from Mount Evor. This romance appeared to progress a bit quicker than in the last book, but everything about it felt right. I love that Alix can continue bringing her characters to life with every chapter that I read. I am still absolutely in love with this storyline and cannot wait to see what the future books bring. I am hoping for more of the men to find their true loves and discovering what is to become of Kurt and Mount Evor. Seriously, if you haven’t picked up one of these books yet, it’s time!

Noémie’s Journey AUDIO BOOK by Victoria Saccenti – Review by Bobbi Wagner

This is my first audio book by this author which I enjoyed from beginning to end.  I enjoyed being pulled into the story by the narrator’s tone of voice.  I also enjoyed how they kept it engaging for me.  The characters are not only connectable but the narrator also did a great job of bringing them to life.  This is a story about Noemie and Richard.  They are opposites, one running from the past and the other trying to make a future.  What will fate have in store for these two?  Can love find a way or will it be nothing but heartbreak?  I really liked both of these characters and their chemistry together.  It is a great romance story that I highly recommend.  It is not only worth listening to but it will keep you listening to the end.

Love’s Refrain is the first book I’ve read by K.G. Fletcher and it was just a decent read for me. The story was nice but I got a bit bored with the descriptions of everything. Just too long winded for what I typically enjoy reading so I felt it could have been a more concise story. I was hoping to get absorbed into the story based on all the positive reviews, but I personally struggled to continue reading but I persevered to finished it. I just did not get all the feelings the other reviewers alluded to. With this mentioned, the overall story line was good, with an unconventional love story that goes from past to present.

THE BOW (HER THREE IMMORTALS Book 3) by HAZEL STORM – Review by Natasha Hlinka

The Bow (Her Three Immortals, #3)The Bow by Hazel Storm
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Hazel Storm has done it again!! With so many stories to figure out and so many past occurrences coming back to people, it is like a mind field… in a good way though. Which I think is the perfect statement to describe this book based on where Vanessa spends time in this story. The Bow made me emotional and a book hasn’t done that in a long time. Even though the part I got emotional at was just a short little couple of chapters, the lead up to the event, especially if you have read the first two books, just makes the scene so strong and you just want to hug everyone involved. There are still so many questions that aren’t answered and I just want to know!! From the first page I was sucked into the story. We learn more about the characters and we see so many more of the backstories of the brothers. This book added a lot of context to the story and now I am more invested than I was before. I can’t wait to see what happens next!

Flockman managed to develop characters that were relatable to anyone who’s spent time in a small town within an unbelievably short amount of time. Bunya Junction became a place I wanted to visit almost immediately. My emotions shifted with the storyline from sadness to joy to a bit of nervous tension. Tragedy turned into happiness in a way that gives hope to anyone who has experienced loss of their own. I look forward to the rest of the series.

Why we don’t die in dreams by Debbie Zello a fantastic five-star read. This was so good, but I need number two right this moment, there are so many things I want to say about this story, but I do not dare as, I don’t want to ruin the story, it’s a powerful twisty story that will keep you on your toes. There are details in this story, that will shock some, and had me stopping at times, but it’s so very good that you do keep going and going until the last page where you are left wondering. Do not miss this great story, and the one that better follow.

This story was honestly such an amazing read. It was beautifully written and I was completely captivated from the very first page. The author transported me back in time to 1947 and even with the switching of time period I wasn’t confused at all. The planning that clearly went in to this story shone through as it was seamlessly written. I loved the characters Kat and Phillip – their story was so sweet and I just loved reading about them. Their story wasn’t all plain sailing and I was so invested in what I was reading about them that I was rooting for them the whole way through.

I don’t think 5 stars is enough for this story, it truly was an amazing read and I cannot recommend it enough to other readers. Love’s refrain is a fantastic story with brilliant characters and was a truly wonderful read! I cannot wait for book 2!

Forever: A Diamond Doms NovelForever: A Diamond Doms Novel by Ivy Nelson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The series brought so much feelings truly as things went through. I found the ending for this book, as very satisfying after like say a good night! The feelings I had felt as I read through were real and the novel and the characters it brought to life were more than words can say.

Russell and Gemma were truly remarkable as well as both being two of a kind. They both have their secrets within their souls and their own darkness they keep hidden. Perhaps the truth is they wanted one another more than they ever wanted anyone or well anything? The truth of their secrets prevented them going after what could very well be more than just true passion, but perhaps the thongs keeping them apart were the true things that would bring them together?

For me the characters and the suspenseful drama was freaking amazing. I wont lie, I truly loved the hot sex scenes as well as the BDSM the novel gave willingly with my consent haha. It was freaking good to read and it gave more than just good sex, it gave the drama and as the other things that go with it. It was a thrilling read in more ways than one, I connected with and felt all what the characters did!

This was the ending to the book series. It gave a lot and I mean a lot in more ways than one. It was a novel you could really dive into and feel everything for! It was amazing in more than one way, and it is one that ended really perfect. I highly recommend this amazing author, for sure worth reading!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Forever by Ivy Nelson is the ninth book in her Diamond Doms series. I highly, HIGHLY recommend starting this series from book 1 as it will definitely enhance your enjoyment. You really need the character and storyline backgrounds that build and expand with each book in the series. Oh and the books while they are a great read, they are not for the faint hearted. Lots of tension, drama and steamy scenes will keep you hooked for sure.

Russell the stern, stoic protector who happens to be a sadist turns out to be the perfect fit for beautiful and sometimes bratty Gemma. Of course as with all stubborn men he resists at first but the temptation and need builds to a point where he can no longer hold back. With so much going on around them and so much danger constantly threatening them and their friends, they definitely need to stick together and try hard to work out the best way out of danger for all involve.

As there attention grows the flirty encounters turns into a no string attached agreement. Both of them get what they need with no complications.

In true romance fashion this agreement doesn’t last and as they spend more time together and feelings grown. Can they actually make a relationship work?
When a huge hurdle in the shape of Kayla’s ex returns into her life wanting her back who will Kayla choose. The Rock star ex who broke her heart or the sweet man who has slowly been winning her heart day by day.

Wrong for Him (The Love Lottery Series Book 3) by Christi Barth – Review by Lorrene Huisman

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

I love this series, with all that is within me, the author always brings together characters that mold perfectly together in more than one way. I love always the work they put into to reach the ending of their books for their characters. This one very much full of heart and a very happy wonderful read!

For me the story meshed super well together in more ways than one. Amelia had had real feelings for her brother’s best friend, Teague for quite some time. She always knew it would be a crime to pursue, but can you really deny matters of the heart? Fate brings them together on a project set for the community. Unexpected to them both is that they both feel something real, and both seemed reluctant to act upon because they both knew what was at risk. Perhaps though this was what was meant to be all along and finally they both were getting the happiness they both so very much deserved.

I loved the characters straight up. I loved more though what came with those characters It be it their interests or more defiantly their pasts. I found back story really made Teague and Amelia whom they were. It made the story so much more powerful and very real. I honestly loved this book.

The book was very well written and it was very well done. I can say i very much enjoyed it and was overly impressed with the writing techniques that brought the story to life! It was a good read, and it really convinced me on all aspects, I would say this is for sure a novel worth reading!
