Gone Country (Gone in Love) by Katrina Marie – Review by Amy Brennan

Gone Country (Cousins Gone #1)Gone Country by Katrina Marie
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I have never hidden nor denied the fact that my heart and soul belong in the countryside. I was born and raised in the ‘county’ and wouldn’t have it any other way. I have spent my fair share of living in cities, but it’s never really felt like home. This novel really revolves around the mixed feelings that Stella feels when it comes to moving from her big home city of Austin, to a small little Podunk town of Asheville. Not only is she leaving the hustle and bustle, but also her cousins, which she describes are more like sisters in every capacity. I truly enjoyed getting to know Stella, as well as understanding her bond with her cousins Audrey, and Tiffany. Katrina Marie does an amazing job at incorporating the importance of girlfriends, as well as being able to own the independence that lays beneath the surface.

Now, Johnny, on the other hand, sounds like my type of man! The perfect gentleman, but has that alpha side to him that just, for lack of a better description, makes me, and obviously Stella, swoon. I thoroughly enjoyed getting to know the characters and being able to really picture the scene where the story is set, and the small town ‘family’ that Stella is welcomed into almost immediately. Of course, it’s not always super easy, and people have history, and past relationships, which Stella and Johnny navigate as best they can, especially within such a whirlwind romance. Overall, thought predictable, while reading this novel, I had a smile on my face, enjoying all the emotions, and the experience itself. Looking forward to reading more by Ms. Marie!

THE BOW (HER THREE IMMORTALS Book 3) by HAZEL STORM – Review by Tamisha Janay

The Bow: A Fated Mates Greek Myth Paranormal Romance (Her Three Immortals Book 3)The Bow: A Fated Mates Greek Myth Paranormal Romance by Hazel Storm
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

THESE BOOKS! Hazel has done it again. This book starts out just where we left off in part two. It dives deeper into Vanessa’s new after-life and the multiple men she is falling head over heels for. There is a ton to unpack here, as we learn more about Aroz, Raef, and a new ‘beau’. The queen has sent Vanessa on a mission that seems near impossible – but only gets harder as her men interfere. Good news? There will be a ton of answers in this installment. Bad news? Even more questions of what could possibly come next! (Not really bad news; keeps ya hooked!) The longer this series continues, we get more answers, the scenes get steamier, and there is always something new that you were not expecting. I love a book that keeps me entertained, makes me question what I thought that I knew, and has the perfect characters. If you haven’t started reading these yet, Why Not?! These stories are keeping me completely captivated and I need/want more!

Something Lost (Funerals and Weddings Series Book 1) by Bernadette Marie – Review by Lorrene Huisman

Something LostSomething Lost by Bernadette Marie
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is not my first rodeo with this gifted author, but once again they know how to bring not only a story to life, but also the characters, How they write, is more than just a technique, their characters that they create tend to leap off the page in a sense of how realistic they are! The story was a wonderful read, start to finish.

I loved how I was able to relate not only in sense to the charact4ers, but you really got a feel for them! For the character Craig. He did a lot of growing up through out this novel I found he had big dreams he wanted to make soar, but somethings he wanted or even had, had to be left in the dust to achieve these goals and that is exactly what he chose…but were they truly the best decisions for him? He loved Rachel, truly yes. She was left behind, but perhaps she kept a piece of her heart always?

Rachel grew up as well. She did not at times have the best father and daughter relationship. I found she chose to grow up to be what was expected of her and not really what she wanted. At first glance it seemed her and Craig were the match made in Heave, but both of them chose different lives and paths. Is this how it was meant to be? Or did fate have other plans for these two souls?

Years passed since Craig and Rachel first saw one another or even interacted for that matter. A sad time brought them together. One thing was certain though, though the times and years that had passed, they never truly let go of one another. When they got to spend time together again, i found it was as of all those years and time was swept away, they had so much chemistry and good moments between them it seemed as if they both were thinking and realizing maybe they have a chance as the one thing that would completely make them happy and full their hearts with no doubts?

I loved reading Craig’s and Rachel’s story. They seemed so real, as if I was sitting listening to their story and more like they were close friends to me, and I was the cheerleader rooting for them to take that chance as well as leap of faith they ended up missing out on. The story was more than just touching and emotional, it was beautiful, fragile, and to me reading their story shows you what makes life worth it.

I really enjoyed this book, and once again enjoyed this story by this captivating author. I look forward to the next in their series they have started here. This was a well written book, and one I enjoyed very much with all my heart. Yes, I highly recommend. It is defiantly a read worth while in more ways than one!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is a truly beautiful book. It is so romantic with bits of tragedy within. Rachel has overcome some deeply tragic stuff. She has used that to become a social worker. Craig comes back into her life. He was her high school sweetheart. Together these two overcame a history filled with so much drama and have come together to create a new life. Rachel, Craig and their friends are created to feel so real that you can feel their pain, angst, happiness and every other emotion. It’s just so real. Parts of the story ripped my heart out because it could have come straight from the news. So much heart ache, yet they could turn it around. You have to read this book. Run don’t walk, to pick up this book. I highly recommend. It would get 10 stars

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

5 stars!

I have never wanted a series to go on and on like I do this one. The Bow is the 3rd book in the Her Three Immortals series and you will need to read them all in order. I love a reverse harem so much and in this one, Grey, Raef and Aroz/Bow are just perfect! It seems that Vanessa has a path that was predestined, she is to complete tasks in order to fulfill a prophecy. All of the God’s mothers are just terrible, and I can’t wait to see all of them knocked down not a couple pegs but all pegs! I love all of the men for always looking out for and protecting Vanessa the best way they can, and it is so nice to see Grey not as grouchy anymore. I did think Aroz wasn’t going to make it with Vanessa, but he did change especially when Bow was introduced. I can’t wait for the next book to continue Vanessa and her Gods and their next adventure!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The Boss Prince: a royal romance with humor and suspense (It’s Raining Royals) by Alix Nichols is a romantic comedy and a wonderful fantasy story with a French twist. It reminds me of those Hallmark movies. This is the first book that I have read by Alix and I found it entertaining, fun and witty, with a little steam. There is a little suspense, intrigue, and mystery in this unknown faraway place. On the hunt for a key, the fun journey begins.
9 keys are key to keeping their little part of the world, so I look forward to reading the other Raining Royals books.

My Soul to Give (A Demon's Love #1)My Soul to Give by Magali A. Fréchette
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I really enjoyed this book. It had everything I look for in  a book, murder, Paranormal and romance.

Something Lost (Funerals and Weddings Series Book 1) by Bernadette Marie is a sweet contemporary romance story. He broke the rules and loved her anyway and she loved with all she had. Childhood sweethearts seeing each on the sly but being young and naïve they had their lives in front of them.

But with it comes drama and longing, emotions and feelings, loss and sorrow, love, secrets and lies. Will our characters find love again or will the past keep them apart?

THE BOW (HER THREE IMMORTALS Book 3) by HAZEL STORM

The Bow is the third book in the Her Three Immortals Series by Hazel Storm. Wow just wow! Just when I thought this series couldn’t get any better then this book steals the show. This is my favorite yet so much packed into one book that once I started I had a hard time putting it down. I had to know what was going to happen next. I do highly recommend reading the first two books if you haven’t already started as they are just as good as this one plus you get a better understanding of what is going on. This one picks up where book two left off. Get ready to be taken on quite a ride as Vanessa is assigned a task by the Queen of the Underworld and her soul is at stake if she fails. I highly recommend reading this to find out what happens next. I can’t wait to get my hands on the next book.

No Way Out (Mafia Elite, book 1) by Amy McKinley

5 Stars

WOW!! She has done it again! This book was everything and more of what I was expecting from this author and her new series. I loved reading every single word in this story. I was completely wrapt up in it from the first chapter. I have come to realize I love the mafia style stories, especially when they are written like this. The secrets, the twists to the story that just flow out while reading that become those awesome wow moments. The many characters that I never had a problem sorting out while reading. The absolute bada** lead characters that left an impression, making them a lead couple I will never forget. The best friends, Oh my goodness I love them, they actually cracked me up alot of times while reading. The cousins… oh i hope there will be so much more with the best friends and cousins.

I could literally go on and on about this book, as well as this author. If you have not read any of her books yet…Grab this one, I promise it has every little thing you ever wanted while reading.

I was left with a huge question when I finished this book, someone that was mentioned way back in the beginning. I’m so hoping that since book 2 is Enzo and Sophia that I’ll get my answer. I CAN NOT WAIT!!!

Deserves so many more than 5 stars!! I loved it!!!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book is awe inspiring. Pure determination, sheer will, and commitment are the traits I see in Drew and Abby. In the beginning of this book it shows a deep friendship blossoming between classmates. I think it’s a big coincidence that both Drew and Abby want to attend medical school. I loved this book it had a flow to it so it was a easy fast paced read.

No Way Out was a really good, entertaining read! Amy McKinley never disappoints with her novels and this one was no exception. My only complaint to this novel was it felt like there were a few plot holes and missing concepts. A few scenes had me confused because it seemed like some content was left out. Other than that I could hardly put this book down! It was entertaining, spicy, thrilling and full of action. I absolutely can not wait to read the next installment of this series and see what happens next!

I am a fan of Amy McKinley! Her stories are written well. Her characters are believable and realistic. And you can’t help but root for the good guys to deliver justice to the bad guys!

I enjoyed the drama of the families involved in the mafia storyline. Ms. McKinley introduced the families in Chicago, their ties to Italy, and also what I believe will be the overarching mystery to the series in a brilliant way! The women that stick together are strong and not necessarily damsels in distress. However, what woman doesn’t want a strong man to treat them like a queen, to show them they are valued, and that they are worth the battle to win??

Truly looking forward to reading the next books in this series!! I can’t wait to see how the rest of the Mafia Elite end up with the love of their lives!

No Way Out is the first installment in the Mafia Elite Series by Amy McKinley. It is full of suspense, action, and has a wonderful romance vibe (who am I kidding, it’s love at first sight kind of romance!) The book starts out with blowing up a warehouse full of drugs and somehow a few pages later we’re reading about finding out how Matt (aka Max) and Liliana meet for the first time. Their chemistry sizzles from the start. The author shares information about many characters and TPN hat happened in the past to make this a book I didn’t want to put down.

From the first words of this book, you will become enraptured with the story. Mafia princesses, sultry hot men…what more could you ask for?

Being a Mafia princess has its rewards, but Liliana Brambilla cannot figure out what those are. She’s entrapped in her house by her father Benito, who is one of the five heads of the Italian Mafia residing in Chicago. When she was a young girl, Liliana watched her mother take a bullet from her, and her father has never let her forget it. Now as his empire is falling he looks to make a deal with another family to finance a Mafia war. Unfortunately for Liliana, that means marrying someone that she can’t stand to share the room with.

Max joins Benito as an assassin but is quickly put in charge of guarding Liliana. For Max that plays right into his hands. He has come to infiltrate and takedown Benito for his mentor, Liliana’s Sicilian grandfather. Max plans to take his rightful place as the head of the Mafia in Chicago, but first, he has to win Liliana’s trust after being her bodyguard.

Can Max win Liliana over, or will this be a futile attempt at a coup?

THE BOW (HER THREE IMMORTALS Book 3) by HAZEL STORM – Review by Krista Vaughan

Hazel Storm brings back Vanessa and her Gods in this third installment of this series. Vanessa has won the heart of Grey, God of the Underworld. Grey’s mother certainly has NO love for Vanessa. Mommy-dearest sends Vanessa on an errand to the mortal world… With a time limit, of course. The consequences are too dire if she fails. She is so close to success… Then Aroz, God of Lust kidnaps her and keeps her in his invisible palace! Here she finds a prisoner that needs to be rescued from a dark and sad existence.

This has been my favorite of these novels! There is non-stop action, the attraction between Vanessa and Aroz is almost palpable despite him being arrogant, selfish and narcissistic. Her unexpected and strong attraction to the prisoner has her all kinds of confused. Vanessa is so brave and full of sass. I love a sassy heroine! If you like them, too you MUST read this series! Especially this book!

The Bow is the third book in Her Three Immortals series by Hazel Storm. I enjoyed this book as much as the first book in the series. I have to say the series gets more steamy than the previous book. I highly recommend reading the first two books to get the full enjoyment of this book. The details are in the writing of Hazel Storm. From the first page of this book until the last page, I could not put the book down. The details really paint the picture of the scenes in my head as they are laid out in the book. If you like mythology you will love this series. The only problem I had was that there was a cliffangery ending.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I was so excited to dive into The Bow by Hazel Storm and it DID NOT DISAPPOINT! I absolutely LOVE the Her Three Immortals Series. A bigger adventure with it’s own obstacles to overcome to get to the conclusion.
This would be Aroz & Vanessa’s story/connection. Picking up where The God left off the whole story takes place within a 72 hour period. Being this is Aroz’s journey with Vanessa, there’s less Grey, which is a little depressing(I definitely have an affinity for him.) There’s also some more Raef, which was lost during book 2.
Hazel Storm presents this story in mainly four different points of view, with a minor fifth, it’s easy to follow! Taking place in all three realms, Underworld, Overworld, and Upperworld, more questions are answered and more come about. I would like to wish this series would never end, even if it does it will always have a place in my mind & heart. Please if you come across this book but haven’t read the first two, read those first. It’ll be well worth it.
Now time to sit back and wait for The Box to be released!

Drew (Perfectly Independent, #1)Drew by Amanda Shelley
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I really enjoyed this sweet college romance with an opposites attracts theme to it. Abby is studious and determined on studying hard and not getting distracted to become a doctor, so she definitely does not need to be lab partners with the one boy who makes her heart race, her palms sweat and her knees go weak, Drew. Drew is also not looking for any distractions, but his focus is more on his sport, as the team captain of his basketball team. Drew is not interested in the girls that hang around him and ‘chase jerseys’, but when he’s partnered with Abby who doesn’t even seem to know who he is suddenly Drew is very interested in her.
Despite being attracted to Drew, Abby just thinks he is a typical jock but the more time they spend together she realises there is more to him than that. Drew’s rule of not dating during the season fails as he finds Abby more intriguing the more he gets to know her. However, both Drew and Abby are worried that if they let themselves fall in love then they will be sacrificing their future goals. This is a heartwarming romance between two very different but equally likeable and relatable characters and I felt engaged with them both throughout this story. The storyline flows well and the characters and the setting are bought to life through the descriptive narrative. I was hooked from page one and thought it was a great read.

This is a well written story that is full of paranormal situations as well as spirits. Luci inherits an estate that has been in her family for generations. She decides that maybe she should check it out so she and her boyfriend go there. What happens next is not what either one expected, Family secrets and a spirit that won’t let her go. The twists and turns that this story takes you on are edge sitting and as well as leaving wanting more. I enjoyed what the characters brought to the story as well as how they gave life to the story. They are relatable and truly made the story for me. I had a hard time putting this book down and I think you will too. I enjoyed being pulled into the story from the beginning and how engaging it was. I highly recommend this book.

I found this story to be a fast paced romance story about Craig and Rachel. They once had something which was brief but when they meet again at a funeral could this be the second chance fate is giving them? I enjoyed their growth throughout the story as well as their chemistry together. They brought the story to life on each page and had great support by the secondary characters. I really enjoyed this book and highly recommend it.
