Shadowed Agenda: An Enemies to Lovers Action-Packed Romantic Suspense Thriller (Shadow Defense Security Series Book 2)Shadowed Agenda: An Enemies to Lovers Action-Packed Romantic Suspense Thriller by Mavery Ellscott
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Shadowed Agenda is Book Two in the Shadow Defense Security Series. It is an action packed, romantic suspense, enemies to lovers’ story filled with tension, danger, drama, and action. The story centers around the characters of Regan and Pavlo and is told from each of their POV. Regan and Pavlo are both on tour with their latest novels. Regan is not thrilled about this because she thinks that Pavlo is annoying. Pavlo is equally unhappy touring with Regan because he finds her too independent. They do their best to avoid each other and stay out of one another’s way. Or they did, until the life of Regan and her daughter were placed in danger after she turned down a private book signing with a woman who is in line to be the next first lady. Suddenly danger lurks around every corner and the one person she can trust to keep them safe is Pavlo and Shadow Defense Security. As Regan and Pavlo get to know one another better the chemistry between them intensifies. This book was well written with an intriguing storyline, great plot, amazing characters, and vivid scene descriptions. I loved the character of Regan who was fierce, strong, independent, and stubborn. All traits that initially annoyed Pavlo but were what made him fall in love with her. This book had mystery, deceit, betrayal, chemistry, passion, romance, and twists and turns that will keep you riveted until the end.

The Magic Man Audiobook (The Olympic Peninsula Book 3) by Cat Treadgold – Review by Cindy Mayberry

/0 Comments/in , /by

I love this series, it has so much romance and comedy, a mean girl and family events. Maddie and David are the cutest. They can try to hide it, but it is there for those who are reading this story. So how long can Maddie and David go before they let their true feelings come out? Just what happened to David while he was in Africa?  Let’s not forget Sylvia David’s Fiance, where does she fit in? The author has once again written an intriguing page turner. I listened to the author read her story and was caught within the first chapter. The story was well written and easy to follow. It has everything a great romance can give you. Please read the first 2 books in order. As there is so much more to this story.

So this is the first book in The Savage Duet Series. In this book, we learn about Ava Blue who is taken captive by Kingston Winter. This book contains violence, adult situations which may not be suitable for all readers. Kingston Winter is the villain in this story but he could also be a hero at times. Ava Blue was kidnapped to pay a debt owed by her brother Carson. Carson Blue owes Kingston 2.6 million dollars and Kingston wants his money or he will take Ava and auction her off to the highest bidder. You will love to hate Kingston throughout this story. I actually can’t wait to read book 2 bc of where this book left off. I promise you that this book is worth the violence and adult situations that arise in it. Do you think Carson will pay off this debt to get his sister out of King’s clutches or does he even care that his sister is caught in the middle of his troubles? Read to find out for yourself,  I am not going to give away the answer…

Orenda (The Latitude)Orenda by T.S. Simons
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Orenda is the second book in the Latitude Series. I love the writing style of this author. It’s easy for me to get lost in the story. It feels natural. This series gets you thinking. I believe somewhere at the end of the book it said the Orenda is an Iroquois belief that all natural objects and people possess a mystical energy. I personally believe that’s true. I think everyone has gift and some people use it more than others some people can tap into it and some ppl choose to ignore it. I think Caitlin uses her gift very well in this series.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

A Christmas Amish Courtship was such a great book! I loved that she added some Amish words and that you could picture the community. I also quite enjoyed that it wasn’t just a basic love story, you really get to know the characters as people. I can’t wait to read the next book! Highly recommend this series.

Shadowed Agenda: An Enemies to Lovers Action-Packed Romantic Suspense Thriller (Shadow Defense Security Series Book 2)Shadowed Agenda: An Enemies to Lovers Action-Packed Romantic Suspense Thriller by Mavery Ellscott
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book is book 2 in a series, and though it can be read as a standalone, this series is so good that you won’t want to.

Authors Regan Christenson and Pavlo Barislov are on a book tour for their newest books when their publicist, Isla, suddenly tries to force Regan to meet with the wife of a senator for a private book signing. Regan wants no part of this meeting because she is morally opposed to the senator’s stances on most things, and chief among them is his view on women working outside of the home once they are married and have children. As a single mother to a medically fragile child, Regan has worked since her divorce shortly before her daughter’s birth. When Regan starts to receive threats, has her room broken into, and even is physically harmed due to her resistance to the meeting, Pavlo steps in to help her. Pavlo’s day job is working with some of his fellow former Navy SEALs doing private security and investigations. With this book, nothing is quite what you think it is, even when you think you’ve figured it all out, there is still a twist to keep you guessing.

/0 Comments/in /by

This is the perfect easy-to-read Christmas romance book. The story is easy to follow as you learn about Anne and her family values, the previous ties to Andy and what he is willing to do to get close to her. There is everything from family loyalty to forgiveness and setting aside personal feelings to see your loved ones be happy.
A quick and easy read with a sweet ending. This clean romance book will bring a smile to your face.
I definitely recommend reading this sweet book. It is part of a series but was easy to read as a standalone as well.

This book was a great read. We got to see both sides of the coin so to speak. In the first part we have the relationship of Jay and Sasha. Jay is head of security for s billionaire and Sasha is a ballet dancer. Even though he looks tough and had the tough guy demeanor, he has a soft spot for Sasha. She as a character has a hard time deciphering it, but we as readers can see it clear as day. She gets herself into a pickle and gets on the wrong side of the Mafia. That brings out Jay’s protective side and there is nothing that he wouldn’t do to protect the woman he loves. In the second part we have Matt and Marenah. Matt is undercover and has been captured by the Chicago Mafia. He and Marenah meet when she is also captured. Her grandfather belonged to the Russian Mafia and she landed in some hot water when she went looking for answers. Due to how they treat women being held, Matt makes it his mission to protect her. But she has secrets that could mean the end for her and whoever she is cohoots with. When they make an escape it seems they are free, but that is just not the case for Marenah. Now she has two targets on her back and has to figure out how to stay alive. This was a good book and I didn’t want to put it down! I like how different authors approach writing about Mafia families. They are all very similar but each one has their own take on what goes on behind the scenes. I can’t wait to read book two of this series.

Jade and Naseer were a lot of like but very different. Jade had recently moved to Rhanaz with her aunt and uncle when she became orphaned. Prince Naseer had recently been in a motorcycle accident which left him bedridden and seemed to turn his thought darker than they already were. When Jade ended up in his home she came across him while looking for the bathroom. He hadn’t been letting anyone in to visit him, not even his best friends, but something about Jade made him ask her to sit with him. She was able to pull him out of the darkness he was being sucked into and their bond started to become stronger, their friendship grew, and their attraction to one another certainly became romantic. He being of royal blood and she being a commoner, his father has issues with their blossoming relationship. Even though he could see with his very own eyes that Jade was doi g Naseer good, he was plotting a way to get rid of her for good. Although they fought like any normal couple, maybe a bit more due to the age difference, they were determined to be together. I did enjoy this book and if you pick it up I hope you do as well. I did find it slow going at first but once the story picked up and started flowing it was hard to put down. I look forward to seeing what kind of growth the characters have and how their relationship progresses in book two.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

A Christmas Amish Courtship is the third book in the Amish Courtship series by Jennifer Spredemann. This story is a second-chance romance that tells the story of Anne Eichner and Andy Stoltzfus. Anne and Andy have both had their hearts broken. Andy decides to take a chance and starts to write to Anne as her secret admirer. This was such a sweet and clean romance. I love Amish romance and this book was a welcome addition to my collection. I loved the interaction through letters and was so excited/nervous for Anne to find out who her admirer was. This book had such good character building and kept you interested in the romance of Anne and Andy. I was invested in them. This book is one for those who love a sweet, clean romance.

I absolutely fell in love with Anne. She was given a big responsibility at a young age. Although she had been courting someone for many years she ended up with a broken heart.

Because her sister broke Andy’s heart around the same time Anne’s heart got broken. This opened a door for them down the road. Andy wants to secretly sweep Anne off her feet. Will her sister and his cousin be okay with the two of them ending up together?

Andy is truly a romantic and I love how their love story played out. Such a short, sweet story that will make you believe in love again!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is book 3 in the Armish Courtship series. I really enjoyed this sweet romance. The author’s attention to detail was amazing and for me really brought to life what it was like to be part of an Armish Community. This story is one filled with family, heartache, forgiveness, and faith.

This is Anne and Andy’s story.
Anne was devasted after the man she was courting for 5 years deserted her. It left her heartbroken and doubting if she would ever find her true love.

Andy was another soul who got hurt by love when he was courting Anne’s sister only for her to leave him for another man. Unable to take the heartbreak he left the community taking with him his cousin (who had been courting Anne).
Time has past and Andy has returned to the community and has his heart set on Anne. But does she still blame him for taking Johnny away from her? Would she reject him outright for that very reason?
Wanting her to give him a chance he comes up with a plan to win her over by writing to her as a secret admirer.
What neither of them expected was when they meet in person for the sparks and connection to already be simmering.
When Anne finds herself falling for not only her admirer but also Andy what does she do? Who does she choose? And what happens when when she finds out that her secret admirer and the man she has started to get feelings for are the same person?
Will they finally find their happy ever after in each other?

Whispered Surrender (Sinful Duets #1)Whispered Surrender by Via Mari
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Whispered Surrender by author Via Mari is the first book of Sinful Duets, which is a combination of Wayward and Undercover. Two books in one? Yes please!

Wayward captures the story of Jay, the lead of a billionaire’s advanced security team, and Sasha, a ballet dancer who finds herself in some dark predicaments that Jay tries his best to protect her from. Although Jay is instantly attracted to her beauty and feels a deep connection to her, Sasha has incredibly low self-esteem and struggles with believing anyone could really truly care about her the way she wants to be. Jay’s dominating personality makes it hard for her to decipher his true feelings but I think as a reader, you know he is really is falling for her. She keeps trying to push him away as there are more secrets hiding in the dark.

While I did not feel much relatability to either character here in the beginning, I still appreciated the story and kept the pages turning. Eventually I did enjoy these characters more as the story continued to unfold. I think the jumping back and forth between their points of view and experiencing the scenarios from both of their view really helped me to understand the characters more. It really added extra depth to the story. And of course, I loved the steamy bits!

Undercover follows Matt, an undercover bodyguard and Marenah, Sasha’s Russian twin sister. She is caught by the Chicago mafia, who are notorious for brutally torturing women who cross them. Matt and Marenah meet under these harsh circumstances and from that moment, they are both immediately infatuated with one another. Matt makes it his mission to keep Marenah safe but Marenah is keeping dangerous secrets that make his efforts more difficult.

The chemistry between these two characters is delicious and caused me to devour every page without pause. I really admired Marenah’s resilience. She didn’t come off as a scared little mouse who needed protecting. She seldom allowed anyone to be close to her, but I loved how Matt was able to help her break down some of the walls she had built up to protect herself, and allowed herself to experience not only being with a man, but being appreciated and treated well by one.

If you enjoy a good mafia war story that leans heavy on the romance aspect, I highly recommend! Loved these books!

But Bryanna has secrets of her own. She fights my help every step of the way, fleeing right out of my arms and back to those who want to sell her for a price.

They’ve messed with the most ruthless of protectors in this deadly game of sin, and they will learn that the hard way today.

Because tonight, Bryanna will be mine.

Wicked Ends (Hidden Valley Elite #8)Wicked Ends by Isla Vaughn
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Wicked Ends picked up exactly where it left off in the previous book! Who can forget that cliffhanger!!!!!!

Shane has always been a mystery to me. Throughout the series, I wasn’t sure if I liked him. In the previous book, I fell hard for him, and I can honestly say he became my favorite character. He appeared so arrogant, and boy did he have a stubborn streak. I had no idea what heavy baggage he was carrying from his past. I didn’t always agree with his actions, but part of me could see why he did the things he did.

I was in Winter’s corner from the beginning. She was beautiful and intelligent, and the girl had perseverance and strength. I’m not saying she was perfect. She was far from it and did hurtful things to others during her childhood. Just ask Shane. The things she did, like Shane, were reactions to her painful, painful past. That’s why they made such a perfect couple.

The series does encompass some dark, emotional aspects, and some of the main characters are less than loveable in the beginning. However, Vaughn is so talented at bringing light and love into each book. The journeys to their happy endings are fraught with obstacles, mostly in the imperfections and flaws of the characters, but those hard times and roadblocks are what bring the love and light into each book! She balances both the dark and light so perfectly!

I felt like Vaughn gave each book such an appropriate title, and the one she chose for this one was perfection!!! It was a wicked end to the series and in all the right ways!!! The epilogues were icing on the cake! Thank you, Isla Vaughn, for letting me see how each character I have grown to love was doing in the future. I highly recommend this series!

I am ready for the next book in this series and can’t wait to see who it focuses on!

This was my first book in the series and I loved it. JT’s a great standalone and a quick read. This book captures the essence of the time period it’s written very well. It not only pulled at my heart strings, it made me interested in the Amish genre.

Liar, Liar (The McIntire County Series: #4)Liar, Liar by Winter Austin
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This has been a brilliant series and while they can be read as standalones I highly recommend you reach them in order not only because you owe it to yourself as a spoil for being an amazing human but because in a way they are linked because of the characters and references to them , just my humble though ( but really read them all (😉🤣❣️📚)

So we’re back in McIntyre County and things are heating up literally and figuratively 🔥Sheriff Shane Hamilton had his hands full with a flame of arsons , 2murders and a personal weight on his shoulders so his feathers are ruffled when the hot ( pardon the pun ) FBI Liza Bartholomew comes onto the scene …..

Liza Bartholomew is no stranger to me or McIntyre County but this time there a lot more at stake for her , her career is on the line , she’s out for vengeance and matters of the heart come into play , this girl has alot going on …

Shane realises that his crime spree is related to the manhunt Liza is on and against all odds he decides to work dose by side with her and they share professional stories and facts but also personal and things start get a little hairy when their friends and loved ones are in danger because of this case and while there was a threat I was scared they’d give up on each other but they drew their strength from one another and man I was on the edge of my seat want to close my eyes but then I’d drop my kindle and that’s not a good idea and I’ll have missed the good parts 🙈🤣

Each book is better than previous if that makes sense , it’s like red wine really it just gets better with age 😉

Hidden Scars (Jade #1)Hidden Scars by A. Akinosho
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Jade: Hidden Scars by A Akinosho is a story about Jade a Naseer. This forbidden age gap story starts with an accidental meeting that will change everything. They are both utterly broken but help to heal each other. Even when everyone else is trying to tear them apart. The immaturity and gullibility of the FMC is to be expected from a sixteen-year-old even if it can be a bit frustrating. Overall, this was a great story and an easy and quick read. Looking forward to book 2. 4 out of 5 Stars.

A King So Savage (The Savage Duet #1)A King So Savage by April Moran
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I absolutely loved this book. It’s not for the faint of heart. Lots of triggers for some I guess but, it made the book that much better. Definitely a dark read. I love how Kingston knows who Ava is. He didn’t just have his men grab a stranger to hold captive until someone pays his debt. Kingston knows Ava and her brother. He also knows what her brother is capable of and just how Ava is pretty much a sitting duck in this whole book. Kingston might be holding her captive to use her to pay off her brother debt but, if he didn’t get to Ava first l, someone else might’ve and as much as Ava fights Kingston and tried to escape, the reality is, she’s safer with him then anyone else. He’s very protective of her and won’t let anyone else near what’s his and right now, she is his to do with as he pleases. Ava is his little lamb who can be quite feisty when she wants to be. She doesn’t just sit there and wait to see what happens. She tries to find ways to escape even though that’s the worst thing she can do. I cannot wait to see what the next book has in store for the readers. This was definitely a 5 star read for me.

A King So Savage (The Savage Duet #1)A King So Savage by April Moran
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

‘A King so savage’ by April Moran is the first book in the ‘Savage duet’ series and I am already on the hunt for book – As I NEED to know what happens next. This book is a hot and streamy page tuner!!!

Kingston aka King is owed money by Ava’s brother. So he kidnaps her to try to get her brother to pay up the millions that he owes.

Meanwhile he locks Ava in a cell and tries to fight his overwhelming attraction and affection towards her. Lots of action packed sex scenes without actually having penetrative sex so Ava’s virginity remains intact.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Shadowed Agenda: An Enemies to Lovers Action-Packed Romantic Suspense Thriller (Shadow Defense Security Series) by Mavery Ellscott. This is such a good series and I loved this book. Its the story of Regan who is a romance author and currently on her latest tour to promote her latest book. She usually loves tours but this one is different, she’s on tour with her sworn enemy Pavlo who was invited to promote his new thriller. Regan is a single mom who loves her job and child and will do anything to protect her child. Pavlo was excited at first to do the tour but when he finds out his least favorite author will be with him. He just tries to keep his distance and do his own thing until Regan and her daughter become the target of danger. Pavlo will do whatever it takes to keep them safe and as they spend more time together they begin to see they actually have a very deep chemistry. This is a great slow burn, enemies to lovers book.
