My Soul to Give (A Demon’s Love Book 1) by M. A. Fréchette – Review by Angela Hayes

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

 

3.5 Stars

 

My Soul to Give is the first book in A Demon’s Love series by M. A. Fréchette. It is a very original paranormal romance with plenty of sizzle, demons, danger, secrets, drama, revenge, suspense, twists, violence, and mystery. The story has a dark tone that makes for very raw, gritty, and intriguing reading.
The story starts off with a bang- Celina has been shot and her husband murdered, and as she lies dying she is consumed with thoughts of revenge. In the few moments that she has left of life, she gets an opportunity to make ‘a deal with the devil’- in return for her soul she will get her chance for revenge. But we all know that making a deal with the devil is never quite that simple- there is always a higher price to pay. Well, this story takes the whole ‘deal with the devil’ trope and gives it a bit of and adrenaline and steroid infusion- as well as a dose of the gruesome.
The only issue I had with this book was that I felt that while the story was very detailed and descriptive, some elements and threads seemed to end abruptly, or trailed off leaving me with questions. There were parts that felt unglued and just didn’t gel for me- like I was missing something- which pulled me out of the story and disrupted the flow.
If you love the paranormal and dark romance, then you will probably want to get your hands on a copy of this book, pronto…
Bring on Book #2- “My Life to Take”.

Thank you, M.A. Fréchette!

Unsettled Scores (DAG Team Series Book 2) by Kel O’Connor – Review by Jenni Bishop

Unsettled Scores (DAG Team #2)Unsettled Scores by Kel O’Connor
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Unsettled Scores: Book 2 of the DAG Team Series by Kel O’Conner another fantastic romantic thriller and addition to this series. I don’t read blurbs or take much notice of covers as I like to go in blind with no expectations. I quickly realised that this was book 2 so I stopped and grabbed book one and I suggest you do the same before starting this book. I loved the simple cover on this one and was glad that I knew nothing of this story as it was thoroughly engrossing. It is also engaging, action packed, and romantic. This is only Kel’s second book, but it has certainly put her on my TBR list as a go to author. Her narrative, world building, plotting and character building is spot on and makes you want to go back for more.

No Way Out (Mafia Elite, book 1) by Amy McKinley – Review by Lianne Probert

No Way Out (Mafia Elite, #1)No Way Out by Amy McKinley
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

No Way Out: An Arranged Marriage Mafia Romance is the first book in the Mafia Elite series by Amy McKinley.

Oh my goodness, I loved this book. This is not my first book by Amy McKinley, so I already had high expectations when I started reading, and this book did not disappoint.
Liliana is nothing more than a pawn in her father’s wicked games. He sees her as a bargaining chip, and she is trapped in this dangerous and suffocating world until he sets her free. I love the strength and fierceness of Liliana, she is feisty and smart in the face of uncertainty and betrayal.
Max is assigned to be Liliana’s bodyguard, but this is no accident as he has a dark history and past that he is determined to save Liliana from. I love the style of writing in this book, it feels as though the author has really found her words with this genre, I couldn’t stop reading.
I can’t wait for book two!

Levi and Tasha are working together to find a way to save both their kinds from the Hellspawn and keep their love strong against the backlash they receive. In Forbidden Mate, we continue following Tasha and Levi as they bring their two races together to fight against a greater evil. Who will win? Who will lose? Will there even be a winner? Each chapter continues to change pov from one to the other, giving us glimpses into what they are seeing and feeling. With each change the audience is continuously wondering what will happen next and what the ultimate price might be if Levi and Tasha are to win.

Forbidden Mate was a really good read! I enjoyed this installment of The Shadow Chronicles much better than the first. To me it seemed like there was more action and excitement. I enjoyed seeing more of the Lycan and Vamp bond, and the treaty that allows them to work together. There were a lot of twists and turns and happenings in this story and that made it a quick read. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this novel and can’t wait to see what happens next!

Forbidden Mate
The Shadow Chronicles Book 2 By: C.R. Robertson
Genre: Romance & Paranormal/Supernatural
Pages: 239

Yes, this book is 100% 5 Stars. This book picks up right where book 1 left off.
I love that we get the story from more then one POV and the story line of even the secondary characters are so detailed that you become part of the world both vampire and Lycan.
Are you team vampire or werewolf?
The war rages on (in the background) of this amazing love story that you just need to keep reading.
It Robertson has a way of drawing you into this book a bit better then the last. Book one is BOOM right into the adventure, this story has more of a journey and once you’re in the thick of it believe me you will not put it down.
Mini romances going on that I am rooting for!
It is a story, a series that I recommend like I have said I sense a timely story that brings the idea of vampire and Lycan love to life.
You cannot go wrong with suspense, romance a touch of war with overall love.

“We need to sedate this creature and get it back to base.”

I loved the first book and the second is even better! We start back up with Levi and Tasha pretty much where we left off. I love all the romance and action in this series! I literally kept reading even while doing laundry! I needed to know what was going to happen next. The story takes an unexpected turn that made me turn pages faster. I cannot wait to read the third book and see what happens with Tasha and Levi. I don’t want to give any spoilers, so if you are a fan of paranormal romance read this series!!

Forbidden Mate is book 2 of The Shadow Chronicles by CR Robertson is so good! I really enjoyed the continuation of Levi & Tasha’s story even more so than the first. It does continue right where the first book left off, so personally I would recommend reading them in order to make sure you get the full story.
I want so badly to go into detail but I don’t want to give spoilers!
There is so much going on in this story but in a good way. It is action packed with an incredible story line. Levi and Tasha are constantly battling one obstacle after another to be together. I found myself groaning thinking “How are they going to get through this one?”. I love the world that you get immersed in, and how incredible the character development was in this one. If you’re into Fantasy, this is one that I would highly recommend you read.

Wooohoooooo!! Love Love Loved this book. I continue to love these characters and I love a story with lycans, vampires and witches. I recommend reading book 1 before reading book 2. Tasha and Levi, whom should be sworn enemies, but fate has a different outlook and are mates. There are new characters and demon hellspawn to deal with. It is hard not to give any spoilers away, but also Coven Leader Castus character, he is pure evil. If you love paranormal with mystery, love and secrets this book is for you.

Whoo!! I loved these two books in this box set. This is the first time I’ve read anything by this author and it was well worth the read. Each story is a stand alone and all steamy. It got to the meat and potatoes without any of the fluff. If you just want sex scenes then this is a read for you! I thouroughly enjoyed these two books and will definitely be buying more later on! Well written and composed. 5 out of 5 stars!

Levi and Tashas story starts where it left off in book one and this book was full of twists and turns and at one point I almost had to stop reading it!

If you like the first one, well you know what’s waiting for you in the second one, more steam and more action take place in this two lovers adventure. C.R. did it again, I was expecting a lot from this book because of the first one but he actually crushed it, I do cannot tell which one is better, but honestly is so worth it to read them if you are looking for some spice into the paranormal world this series will give you the chills (the good ones)
I highly recommend this book for Vamp/werewolves fans that are looking into something out of the normal and with a little extra.

Forbidden Mate is the second installment to The Shadow Chronicles by Ms. Robertson and she has done it again! After reading the first installment in this series I personally could not wait for the second and was so enthralled in the story that I finished the second novel in one sitting. This paranormal romance is everything that a reader could hope for vampires, lycans, witches and more. Ms. Robertson gives us a spellbinding story with drama, danger, secrets, and so much more that you won’t be able to put it down. I personally can’t wait for the next installment to this spellbinding story and it’s fantastic paranormal characters.

Another Yesterday is the second book in the Seashells and Second Chances series by Angela Christina Archer and I can honestly say that it was a phenomenal addition to this series. While this is the second book in the series it can be read as a stand alone, as each book focuses on different characters. Ms. Archer provides us fantastic characters and a great contemporary romance with second chances, emotions, secrets, betrayal, and so much more. If you haven’t read book one of this series I highly recommend you read both. I personally can’t wait for the next installment from Ms. Archer.

Caught by Him by Tammy Mannersly – Review by Erica Shoebridge

Caught by HimCaught by Him by Tammy Mannersly
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

A short romance story of two young people that fall deeply in love very quickly. The characters were drawn pretty well, with backstories and personality that were relatable. I also appreciated the style of writing – it feels naturally and is easy to fall into. Some depth was added with the conniving assistant and a douchey ex – I would have liked to see that play out a little longer for more intrigue. I found the speed with which these two fell in love to be a little implausible (a few sentences volleyed back and forth, and they’re already thinking of the long-term relationship), and the main climax of the action was a bit fast and convenient for me as well. Maybe a less jaded reader would find this swoonable! All in all, a decent easy-to-read romance for the young at heart.

Amy McKinley never disappoints me. This was so good, you have Mafia Princess Liliana who is a total boss. The phrase “She is beauty, she is grace, she will punch you in the face” is the best way I can describe her. She knows that her father is using her as a pawn to get the best deal to save himself and will not go quietly. Matt is her ticket to freedom but he has secrets and once he unleashes the truth there is no coming back from it. This book was packed with action, love, spice, and friendship. Amy McKinley blew me away with it and I cannot wait to read the next one!

I enjoyed this action filled story. This is the second book in this series which I enjoyed. This is a newer author for me which I have enjoyed. I am pulled into the story from the beginning and the author’s use of details made the story feel realistic. This is a well written story that I found to be fast paced and engaging. I had a hard time putting this book down. The characters are relatable and give life to the story. Amy has been estranged from her family for the past few years because she blames herself for the death of her sister. Now she is out for revenge. What will happen when her past comes crashing into her present and she is presented with a choice of revenge or love? What will she choose? I enjoyed the twists and turns that kept me turning pages. They had me wanting to know what would happen next. I really enjoyed what Amy brought to the story and how strong she is. A great story full of secrets, revenge and a murderer that needs to be caught. I highly recommend reading this book to find out what happens with Amy and if love wins out.

This is the first book in this series and what a great start it is. This is an author that I never hesitate to pick up, she never lets me down. I am pulled into the story from the beginning by the characters. The author’s use of details make her story feel realistic. Her characters are connectable and keep the story engaging. This book is no different. It is well written and the characters brought the story to life on each page. This is a story of an arranged marriage along with secrets and who doesn’t love a hot, steamy mafia man. This is a story about Max and Liliana. They are great, strong characters that have awesome chemistry. I also enjoyed the growth throughout the story with them. She is born into power but is just a pawn for her father. He wants what’s his and revenge against those who wronged him. You don’t want to miss what happens with them. This is a must read story that I highly recommend.

No Way Out: An Arranged Marriage Mafia Romance by Amy McKinley is the first book in the Mafia Elite series. This is a fantastic start to a new series and the kind of book you will have to read in one sitting.
I have come to learn with this author that it doesn’t matter what she writes it is always amazing. So much so that I picked up this book without reading the description, no hesitations. I was completely swept away by this story from the second I started reading. I connected with the characters and with their journey. I was taken on their highs and lows and experienced everything with them. I didn’t want this book to end – even more so because it read it so quickly.
This is an explosive start to a new series and I am already chomping at the bit for the second book.

Turning Wheels (Satan’s Devils MC #1) AUDIO BOOK by Manda Mellett – Review by Bridget McCullough

I wasn’t very sure about this book as bikers have never been my forte but I was pleasantly surprised with the characters in this book. The main female character had a lot of trauma to deal with due to her accident but the male hero was surprisingly understanding and supportive, in his own way, about it. I think the way that the author wrote the female character was heartbreakingly realistic to what people likely go through in a situation like hers. The things she had to deal with throughout the story and her growth as a character were very well written. The male Hero had depth to him as well and the way he handled things was unconventional to say the least but still had a personal touch to it that made the character feel cohesive and real. The writing itself was easy to follow and the storyline didn’t drag and was full of action so it kept me entertained throughout.

Tasha the Vampire and Levi the Lycan return as they continue to fight for their survival, the Hellspawn are back after a few months of precious respite and now are back to attacking them on a nightly basis, but they are evolving and the way that they attack them is changing too, meanwhile, the two forbidden lovers and mates continue in their fated romance as they swap between being fearless leaders in front of their fellow warriors to being able to show each other their true feelings behind closed doors.

Meanwhile, they are trying to study history of the two races, as well as their genetics and see what they will reveal about their origins and therefore the Hellspawn, but whenever they think that they have found something it just reveals more questions than answers. They are all just trying to use their skills to keep their heads above water and out of the mess created by their enemies, but with each step forwards, they are starting to feel like they are going two steps backward and the tentative and slightly unstable alliance takes just as much work to maintain as hiding the some critical truths from those around them.

Cant the two fated mates find out what is hiding behind the wall of secrets and think of a way to keep the Hellspawn and others who want to destroy what they have at arms length, or will things come between them and rip them apart for good? This paranormal romance is filled with tension and excitement from the get go and keeps you reading as the story unravels before you, it is a rollercoaster of ups and downs which keep you off balance and always guessing what is around the next bend.

These ladies are some of my favorite authors for a reason!! They write a phenomenal story with AMAZING characters that always leaves me wanting more!

She ends up in enemy territory only to discover that her offenses are life threatening. As she finds love, maneuvers tricky friendships, and tries to endear herself to her enemies, she is not prepared for what happens. In all honesty… neither was I!

This book ends on a completely unexpected cliffhanger that I have only read one other time. There is a secret part of me that hopes I am right about it, too! But I am not going to spoil it. I cannot wait for the next book!
