Master Tuscano: Dark Vampire Romance (Masters of the Consulate Book 2)Master Tuscano: Dark Vampire Romance by Sylvia Black
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I was very excited to read this book. I enjoyed book 1.

The storyline was good. I feel like there were some things that could’ve been written differently but only to better an already thought out plot. Overall I liked how the different groups didn’t necessarily mix or hate one another like they normally do in paranormal books. I liked that the female lead Delilah was strong and resilient. Christian the male lead’s character had some room for improvement but I still really enjoyed how his personality and attitude played in the story.

All I can say is jump in and hold on!!

This is the first book by N.D. Jackson that I have read. I am a HUGE fan of romance novels of every variety. There were some things that I could do without but the story of Athena and her past is so well written and when she meets TRU, she wants him and something starts to shift inside her. The characters are really great and Athena and Tru together are perfect. I can’t wait to read more from this Author.

Cursed Touch (Broderick Coven Series Book 4) by AJ Renee – Review by Shannon Fowler

Cursed Touch (Broderick Coven, #4)Cursed Touch by A.J. Renee
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I love these characters and the whole Broderick family. Author AJ Renee keeps me entertained with sassy and sweet characters and with plots that roll smoothly.

Vanessa Raine is a single woman that believes she is seeing things. She knows she isn’t crazy but she just can’t believe the things she sees. And the fact that no one else is seeing these things makes her wonder what is really going on. Carter Broderick is a witch learning his untapped powers. And his day job of being a doctor allows him to practice his healing touch. However, he doesn’t know what he’s missing until he meets Vanessa. The way these two grow together is sweet, sexy and oh so good.

These books do need to be read in order and Cursed Touch is book 4. I definitely recommend this series. Bonus: I love the blurb for the next book, waiting patiently!

Green Street is where they came from. Charlie, Gwyn, Indigo and Athena. This is Athena’s story. Shoved out into the world, she made the most of it. She is a millionaire, has clubs all over; but she decides to do something different and open a pool hall. Sponsoring a pool tournament is where she meets him, Tru. Their chemistry is hot from the first moment. Athena wants him, but just for the sex in the short term. Can Tru capture her heart and make her want to keep him?
Athena is great, strong, and a very independent woman. I love stories with a strong heroine. They make me feel empowered. That I can do and conquer anything.

Unbreakable by Tee Smith – Review by Erica Shoebridge

Unbreakable (The Diamonds, #1)Unbreakable by Tee Smith
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Ripper Bandura is definitely a sexy bad guy in this romantic suspense novel. For all his bravado and strength, he has surprisingly little experience in a relationship, so when he falls for Nurse Erin, it catches them both off-guard. He’s also a complex character that is more than just a typical ‘bad boy’. Unfortunately, his childhood was abusive and sent him down a path of crime from an early age. The relationship between Ripper and Erin seems like an unlikely match for many reasons, but they find themselves compelled to each other regardless. The backstory of Erin’s father gives the plot lots of interest, and it speeds up quickly with the family business and the reemergence of Erin’s first husband. Lots of drama to keep up interest, and the ground is already laid for some explosive happenings in book 2!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Unbreakable by Tee Smith is the first book in the Diamond series. For me this book is all about the characters and their connection. Although they are complete opposites they have such a strong connection – the chemistry between them is so believable and real.
I thought the story line was good as well.bit felt like it built slowly throughout leading you to where it finishes. It was quite intense in some places and then less so in others, a good mix of the two. It is a well written book that leaves you wanting to read the next in the series. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and I’m looking forward to book 2.

HOLD ME FOREVER (HERON HARBOR Book 3) by LEA NOLAN – Review by Rosanna Ingram

Hold Me ForeverHold Me Forever by Lea Nolan

The Heron Harbor series is full of books that I am always excited to read when they come out…and this is not exception.

Lark is returning Heron Harbor for her sister’s wedding. She is hoping to come to town, attend the wedding, and leave before anyone really notices. That plan goes out the window almost as soon as she gets into town.

Hunter, the Chief of police, is quite surprised when a stranded motorist in his town turns out to be a woman he has not seen in many years. Lark and Hunter dated many years ago…and even had plans to run off and get married. But…when the time came…Lark said she couldn’t go and left town. Now he is face-to-face with the woman who has always held his heart.

When Wren becomes overwhelmed at work, she leaves it to Lark and Hunter to work out the final details of the wedding. Will these two be able to move beyond their pasts and work together? And what happens if their old feelings come to the surface? Lark is a free spirit and has no intentions to settle down…can Hunter change her mind? Or are they destined to part once again?

I fell in love with this series from the first book…and each book that followed has been just as good. I devoured this book in one sitting. I couldn’t put it down because the characters pulled me in and I needed to know how it was going again. Another great book by Lea Nolan!

Bared. (Green St. Girls #1)Bared. by N.D. Jackson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book really captured my interest. Once I started, I couldn’t put it down. Romance being the main element with drama, passion, darkness, tragedy and sex. It’s everything I look for in a romance novel.

Bared is about an emotionally broken woman named Athena who had a dark past making it very hard to open up to anyone who isn’t one of her few best friends. She then meets a pool player named Tru who also had trust issues. The passion between them was inevitable but was it strong enough to get past both their hardships?

The relationship between Athena and her two best friends was very authentic in my opinion. They bantered like I would with my own friends. I loved how the author wrote all of the characters, each with their own strengths and weaknesses. It was refreshing to read a romance that wasn’t super fairy tale like.

Cursed Whispers (Broderick Coven, #3)Cursed Whispers by A.J. Renee
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Very frequently when you reach book three in a series the story line can become tired. AJ Renee does a great job of spicing up this third instalment and taking the reader into the most turbulent story so far!

When Max Broderick, a witch veterinarian who can speak to his clients, feels the pull to the woods to attend to an animal in need he doesn’t expect to meet his mate. Claudia, a werewolf, has lived in a world with nothing but violence and mistreatment for the last eight years. Max’s patience and affection for Claudia and her daughter Katia slowly wear down the last of her reserves to become full mates.

I very much enjoyed this book and look forward to the next.

AJ Renee once again knocks it out of the park! I just can’t get enough of this author and every time you think a book can’t get better than the last, it happens. This fourth instalment takes us into the life of Carter Broderick, a witch whose skill lies in healing. As a doctor he uses his skills daily and when Vanessa, a human, brings a neighbor into the hospital, there is a compelling connection that neither can deny.

I really enjoyed this book and devoured it quickly. I loved the concept of the two worlds, human and supernatural, colliding. I am really looking forward to more from AJ Renee.

This is book one in the Diamonds series and it looks like its going to be a good one. This book contains 2 of my favourite things. Romance and danger.

Ripper is mixed into allsorts  of things. Trouble always seems to come looking for him even when he doesn’t want it.

I. Just. Can’t. Even.

I don’t know how the author does it. I don’t like cliff hangers – basically because I don’t like waiting to read more. And it killed me to wait for this book after part one. But let me just say – this was worth every agonizing moment I didn’t have this book in my hands. The MC universe doesn’t get recognized for the depth it holds and Mellett is a master at bringing so many characters to page that you feel like you know or definitely wish could meet. Just an amazing story. Beautifully written. Just. Wow.

Bared. (A Green St. Girls Romance) by N.D. Jackson – Review by Jennifer Gordon

Bared. (Green St. Girls #1)Bared. by N.D. Jackson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I loved this heartwarming and at times heartbreaking story about friendship and finding love, a real page turner of a contemporary romance. The storyline follows four girls who are known as ‘The Green Street Girls’, they include Charlie, Gwyn, Indigo and Athena. Each girl has their own story but they have all been sent away and were left alone in the world until they found each other and have supported one another ever since. This story centred on Athena who has a devastating backstory but who despite this is now a millionaire at twenty one and owns a pool hall. It’s at the pool hall where she first meets Tru, when he walked in as though he owned the place! She first noticed his confident walk and his killer smile and she thought he would be good for a fling but definitely not someone for any long term commitment. However, she soon starts to fall in love with him and hopes that he is also up for a more permanent relationship.

I loved the characters, especially the four girls and their friendship really came across in the writing, and I look forward to reading each ones own story in this series. Athena is very likeable and relatable and I really felt for her and could understand why she had built up walls to protect herself until Tru came along. The chemistry between them sizzled off the page and led to some steamy scenes. They were great together and I was cheering them on hoping they would get their happy ever after. I was hooked from the start and thought this was an enjoyable and engaging read and a great start to the series.

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

I loved this audible!  This is my first audible by this author, I can’t wait to pick up another one.  The narrator brought the story to life with their voice.  They gave the characters a realistic feel by the change of tones.  I had no problems connecting with the characters. This is an engaging story that is fast paced and full of action. Sophie is a woman who has ended up in a wheelchair by helping a friend.  When a contract is put out on her she finds herself under the protection of the Satan’s Devils MC.  She and Wraith are instantly attracted to each other but the problem is, she doesn’t think anyone would want her with the way she is.  Will they be able to protect her?   This is a great audible that I highly recommend.  It is worth the listen too for sure!

This is a well written story about getting a second chance at love. The characters are great, strong and connectable. I enjoyed being pulled into the story from the start. They made the story engaging and brought the story to life. I enjoyed how the author used details to give it a realistic feel. The growth throughout the story and their chemistry just adds to the story. Gage has a past that ripped his world apart. He didn’t believe it could happen twice to him but when it does, what will happen? This is a really great story that I found hard to put down. It is fun, easy and entertaining to read. I highly recommend this book.

I read this book in one sitting as it is that fast paced. The author’s use of details gave the story a realistic feel and I had no problems feeling I was right with the characters. This is a story about Ivory and Li. Their growth and chemistry just adds to the story. Their story is one of love and emotions. What will happen when Li says that he will be Ivory’s pretend boyfriend? This might solve her problem but they may just get more than they expect. I loved them and what they brought to the story.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book is your typical small town romance, so if that’s your thing, then you will definitely love this book.
This is book 3 in the series – you don’t need to have read the first two, however they will give away some plot lines from the previous books.
Lark is the opposite of her academic sisters, enjoying her lifestyle of teaching art and travelling to sell her own work – just like her mum. Six years ago she left Hunter, and has avoided coming home but now they have to work together to help Wren & Smith finalise their wedding.
This was definitely a case of opposites attract. Lark & Hunter were great characters, very real easy to like.
I really enjoyed all the mystery surrounding the family history, and it really helped show the reasons behind Lark’s actions years ago. I loved watching them both re-discover the love they had for each other.

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

This book! THIS BOOK! Gosh I enjoyed it so so much! The world building and the characters in here are phenomenal! My character list and world info is ever expanding. This story really took me along for a ride! It seems to be sort of a reverse harem anyway that is what is hinted at. Sadly I would have missed out on an amazing story since I usually pass on those types. So I am glad I gave it a go since I devoured the book.

Secondary characters really keep me on my toes. I am figuring out what the purpose is of each just as Vanessa is. I love that! We see some characters from book one in her and meet quite a few new ones. Some good and some not so good.

Overall this is an outstanding story! I enjoyed book one but this one really brought a lot together. Plus the world is perfectly described so I can picture it right along with Vanessa. I highly recommend but suggest you read book 1 first for total enjoyment.

I am eagerly looking forward to the next book.

Even though this isn’t my favorite of the Broderick Brothers I was still extremely invested in this story.

Manda does a great job of bringing these kinds of situations to light. I loved seeing the relationship go a bit slower having started a little different and progress.

I’ll be honest, I loved the other books in this series so much, I was prepared for this book to be a letdown. After reading summary, I just didn’t think it was going to have the appeal of the first book. I liked Niran in those books, but his personality is kind of low key. Man, was I wrong. Saffie’s story had me at the first page. It grabbed my heartstrings and did not let go. It isn’t easy to write a character that is hated by end of first chapter, but you did it Manda. You will love Niran and be cheering on Saffie by the end of the book. Not only those two, but the secondary characters are amazing as well. Some of them you will meet if you start at book one.
