Avenging Devil Part 1: Satan’s Devils MC San Diego by Manda Mellett

I usually write my reviews just after I finish a book so it’s fresh on my mind.  This particular review is being written a bit after I finished the book. I need some time to let everything soak in before I felt I was ready to share my thoughts.

I have read most of the Satan’s Devils books, stumbled on this series back when it was only the Arizona chapter and was hooked from the beginning.   Now we have Colorado,  Utah and San Diego with Las Vegas coming soon.

With all that being said, I need to spill my guts on this book and I’m going start at the end. Why didn’t I wait to read this book until closer to when part two comes out?  I have to wait a month to find out what happens!  I knew this going in but holy cow.

The book grabs you from the beginning and twists your guts up, chews you up and spits you out as a crying mess.  I have no idea how Saffie has survived going through more pain than anyone should ever.

I have theories on why this first book ended the way it did and if it’s true I’m going to be livid for Saffie and Niran.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is a series I have enjoyed from the first book. This is the fourth book in this series which is just as great as the previous three books which I would highly suggest reading. This is a well written story that pulled me in from the first chapter. The characters give the story a realistic feel and I had no problems connecting with them. This is a story about friendships and how far a person is willing to go for those they love. Freyja and Cam are feeling safe and secure until someone from the past shows up. Now they leave the security in search of answers to their questions. I enjoyed these two characters, they really made the story for me and it was fun to read. I highly recommend seeing what happens next with these two.

Mr. Nice Guy (Pierce Brothers Book 1) by Belinda Williams – Review by Kerry Baker

Mr. Nice Guy (Pierce Brothers, #1)Mr. Nice Guy by Belinda Williams
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Mr Nice Guy by Belinda Williams is the first book in the Pierce Brothers series. This is a great example of a friends to lovers romance and one I thoroughly enjoyed. I loved how the chara try’s has such a great connection anyway, as friends, and the author really knew how to develop that. It was so easy to get behind them and hope that they would figure out their feelings for each other.
The story itself was entertaining. I thought I was lighthearted and fun, touching on the sweeter side or romance. It has a nice easy pace about, meaning it was too heavy to read. Overall this was a great book and I am looking forward to the second.

Mr. Nice Guy (Pierce Brothers Book 1) by Belinda Williams. This book is so good I can’t wait to read the rest of the series! This is the story of Chelsea and Tom who are housemates. Tom is the epitome of a nice guy and Chelsea only ever picks bad boys. Tom is a fixer and wants to always help people or get them out of bad situations so when he proposes a deal with Chelsea he thinks he’s just helping her see how a nice guy can treat you. He takes her on a week’s worth of dates and treats her just like a gentleman would and at the end of the week they both have forgotten it was a test. After the test is thru they both realize they have feelings for one another and now they don’t know what to do. Both Tom and Chelsea have their own problems to deal with but as a couple they really seem good! I can’t wait to read about more of the Pierce brothers!

Avenging Devil Part 1: Satan's Devils MC San DiegoAvenging Devil Part 1: Satan’s Devils MC San Diego by Manda Mellett
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Avenging Devil: Part 1 Satan’s Devils MC by Manda Mellet was a hard to put down book as I delved into the lives of Niran and Saffie. Niran, a biker, is nothing like what one would expect from a biker. He is kind, caring, nurturing and wants to help. When Niran finds Saffie she is an emotional train wreck and a shell of her former self. Despite this, Niran finds himself attracted to her quiet beauty and he finds himself wanting to help her. Saffie has been savagely assaulted by members of another biker’s club, so she is justifiably terrified of all bikers. Saffie trusts no one and prefers to be alone because she is terrified of getting close to anyone for fear of getting hurt again. Or worse, her ex, Duke, finding her and killing her because she left him.

Saffie refuses Niran’s help and continuously pushes him away, thwarting any efforts Niran makes to help her or try to keep her safe from her abusive ex, Duke. Regardless of how many times Saffie pushes Niran away he feels compelled to help her and does everything he can to show her that he only wants to see her safe and happy. You can feel Niran’s despair and helplessness as he reaches out to help Saffie and keeps getting pushed away. Saffie wants to accept help but is overcome with a paralyzing fear of being abused again. My heart ached for Saffie, and I found myself wanting to help her because after all that she had been through she should not be alone. Despite all the horrendous abuse and tragedy that has befallen poor Saffie she continued to persevere.

Avenging Devil: Part 1 Satan’s Devils MC San Diego was an intense emotional rollercoaster ride of emotions as you are drawn into the lives of both Saffie and Niran. You find yourself overcome with intense grief and anguish for Saffie while holding your breath waiting anxiously to see what, if anything, will become of her and Niran. This book will leave you wanting more! It is a must read!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Every single book so far in this series is nothing short of amazing. Every book has been a 24hr read and this one was no different.

This is my first MM romance novel and it was so sweet. I love following Oren and Tievel’s story.

Tievel is the hardened heart demon who is angry at everyone and every witch for a past lover’s death.

Oren is a newly found Demon Hunter that is still trying to figure out his past and now his future.

And there is a baby Dragon 🐉

This is the most adorable enemies-to-lovers romance story that I will suggest to anyone who wants a cute quick read.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This was the first book by the author that I have read. It certainly won’t be the last after finishing this one. This was a very quick read for me as I didn’t want to put it down once I started reading it. I laughed so hard in some places that I was crying. So, if you like romantic comedies you will like this book. She didn’t immediately throw the characters into a relationship which I loved because it kept me guessing when it would happen. I was shocked she waited so long, but also appreciated that because you could feel the tension mounting which made the ending that much more bittersweet. If you are looking for a short rom com then this is a book for you.

I was delightfully surprised by this book! I don’t typically read historical fiction but decided to take a gamble on this story and I am so glad I did. I loved the constant banter between the heroine, Isabel, and her handsome yet pushy new husband. I was constantly looking forward to seeing what would happen next and read the book fairly quickly! If you are in search of a book that will pass the time quickly as you are transported into another era this is the perfect fit. I thoroughly enjoyed it!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Beginnings and Endings: A Selection of Short Stories by Jane Suen was a quick read and entwined the different short stories very nicely. Each story was short but very lovely and encompassed the emotions the author desired to give, whether it was a happy or sad story. This is one to sit on your living room table for others to peruse while visiting. You are not enclined to get too engrossed because of the shortness of the book as it is easy to read in one sitting. Nice stories strung together beautifully for this collection.

A delightful fun read with characters I hope to see again.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book was a fantastic read! I had a very hard time putting it down and finished it in a few hours. Chelsea and Tom were very sweet and I thoroughly enjoyed the development of their situation. It was refreshing to see a man who overthinks and not just the woman as that brings a different perspective to a relatable issue. The roles their work played, life experiences and idiosyncrasies of their personalities were well incorporated into the plot. I felt like the story was pieced nicely together. The concept of the nice guy taming the unconventional girl with a penchant for under-appreciating men really hit the mark for me! A quote that really stood out to me was, “You think it’s hard to live with regrets? It’s harder to die with them.” This is definitely a good read if you are looking for a romantic comedy with some insight.

Forged by Secrets is the third installment to Amy McKinleys Deadly Isles Special Ops series and all this reader can say is that it’s just as amazing as the first two. Having read the first books in this series I was thrilled when book three came out and couldn’t wait to get my hands on it. Once again Ms. McKinley provides us with great characters, a gripping plot, and overall a story that will leave you on the edge of your seat. Personally I love second chance love stories and that’s exactly what Ms. McKinley gives her readers here a second chance love story filled with drama, suspense, and so much more that this reader can’t wait to see what happens next.

Danielle Jacks you’ve done it again. This was all kinds of hot! Loved Setter and Casey’s story and I was engaged from page 1. As usual the writing is on point, the characters relatable and the story steaming. Each character’s backstory is fleshed out as the story progresses and I really loved the dual POV. I highly recommend all of Danielle Jack’s books but just be warned – once you start you won’t be coming up for air until the book is finished.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Mr. Nice Guy by Belinda Williams is the perfect beach read this summer! I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a short read that can be finished in a short time. It was the first book that I have read by her and I plan to read the following books in the series.

Belinda has written a very relatable character in Chelsea, reminding me of how it felt to fall for a nice guy after dealing with so many bad guys in the past. Belinda also wrote an amazing character in Tom, making him easy for the reader to also grow attraction towards him as Chelsea develops her own feelings for the sweet and sensitive paramedic. The plot is captivating, with twists and turns in this not-so run-of-the-mill romance novel, that keeps the reader wondering if it will have a happy ending up until the very end of the novel.

She has traveled all over the world, but still has an extensive list of places she would love to visit. Anywhere near a sky-blue ocean will always be at the top of that list, although going back to South Africa’s Kruger National Park to view the wildlife is a close second. 

 

She carries a bachelor’s degree in History with a concentration in Elementary Education from Metropolitan State College of Denver. While she loves children, she now fears teaching, which probably has something to do with being a stay-at-home mom.

Untouched (The Cadence Duet Book One) by Dakota Willink
Genre – Contemporary Romance, Second Chance Romance, Virgin Romance
Listening Length – 5 hours and 46 minutes
Narrated by: Zachary Webber, Lacy Laurel
Cadence
Helping my parent run Camp Riley was my number one priority. I didn’t have time for Fitz Quinn—no matter how potent his smile was. He was the spoiled son of a wealthy politician; a gorgeous troublemaker with a cocky attitude.
But the second he spoke to me, I knew I was in over my head.
My heart warned her, but of course I didn’t listen. There was something protective and good beneath the bad boy exterior that made my insides flutter. Before I knew it, I was falling hard and fast.
Fitz
I wasn’t prepared to meet a girl like Cadence.
She was shy and innocent—and nothing like the girls who usually flocked my doorstep.
How could I resist her mile-long blond hair and emerald eyes?
I knew he shouldn’t want her. My father already had other plans for me and a relationship with her could never go beyond the summer.
I thought our stolen kisses by the lake were only supposed to be a summer fling.
Falling for her shouldn’t have happened.
But it did.
Now the clock is counting down until I have to return to the hell that awaits me in Washington D.C.
As September drew closer, I wasn’t sure if I could survive the end of everything I’ve come to love.

I have read books 1 and 2 in this series as well, but this one was my favorite. I am a big fan of Ty. I knew I would be when I read first two books. His intuition – loved that characteristic. I also didn’t see a few things coming. I really liked Malina’s backstory which felt fresh and different from any book I’ve ever read- just a different take on civil unrest. I also liked that the conflict she experienced in her country influenced decisions even years later – felt like a realistic reaction. I was into the plotline that began in book one and continued in this book. I was definitely invested in the outcome. The takeaway from this story for me was how grief is different for everyone. Grief can be messy. Grief can be silent. It depends on the individual. I think the author does a great job of portraying that emotion in this story.

All I can say is wow….Once I started reading this book I was pulled right in. My heart broke for Saffie and what she was put through. When she finally gets the help she has been needing for years she gets a whole new life.

Niran joined the MC after his release from the Marines. He gets roped into taking Mary, his MC brother’s wife, to her doctor’s appointment. This is where he sees Saffie and is instantly drawn to her. When Mary and Niran walk out of the appointment they find Saffie in dire straits and offer her help. Nirans protective side comes out and he doesn’t want to leave her. She clearly needs help.

Will they be able to help her? Will Saffie finally find someone that she can call friends?

This read is part one and there are so many twists and turns. I will warn that right from the beginning there are huge triggers, some that even made me flinch. The things that Saffie goes through are so real that your heart goes out to her and the choices she has to make. All of the characters added a great element to the story. And we get a heck of a cliffhanger and now I can’t wait to get part 2. I need to see what happens next. If you’re looking for a thrilling MC read then 1-click and get started today.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Competing with the Star is the 2nd book in the Star Series by Krysten Lindsay Hager. You should read them in order, as this book picks up right where the first left off. We continue to follow the life of teenager Hadley Daniels. She has recently moved to a new town, and is figuring out where she fits in socially. Over the summer, she stayed with her grandparents, and made some new friends, but teen life is confusing. She and her crush Nick have decided to make things official, which should be great news. They have so much in common and find it easy to talk to each other. However, the insecurities caused by friends comments, and rumors are prying them apart. Add in a love triangle or two, and this story is packed full of drama. Some parts had me rolling my eyes, but then I tried to remember back to what it was like being a teenager, and its spot on. Hager really captured the feelings of teenagers, both boy and girl. I love that we got to see several characters weaknesses, and how they leaned on each other, discovering who their real friends are. I think this is a great coming of age story, geared toward tween and teens, but good enough to enjoy as an adult. I look forward to reading more by this author.

Can I just say I LOVE Author Amy McKinley’s Deadly Isles series!!! I am just so invested. This is book 3 of this series and does not disappoint. This is the story of Malina and Ty. Malina was sent to the States by her parents to live and be safe with her aunt and uncle, and just in the nick of time… Ty and Malina hook up in Vegas for some fun, but deep down Ty knew Malina was this one for him. Years later Malina is being accused of treason….and she flees to Ty’s house to be safe and to find out whom is framing her for treason. Ty is there to help find out whom framed Malina. I just love this whole story, Ty and Malina’s love for each other and did not want this book to end. There were a few twists I did not see coming! I highly recommend reading this series from the beginning as you also get to know Ty’s brothers, Jaxon and Xander as well. This is truly a fantastic series!!!

Oh my god! This book was so good! I read this book knowing it was going to end on a cliffhanger. Even though I don’t like cliffhangers, this one is so worth it. I have read most of this author’s books and I have never been disappointed. This book continues her San Diego series. The focus is on Niran this time. I liked him from the other books and I’m glad he got his own story. I’ve only gained more respect for him. He meets Saffie in the most unlikely of places and is immediately drawn to her. She’s alone and desperately needs help unfortunately she’s petrified of bikers. It was a constant push and pull between them because of it. I did get frustrated because I know what a good man Niran is. Saffie had serious trust issues and with good reason. This book is intense and it left me holding my breath. I’m anxiously waiting for part two.

Avenging Devil Part 1 (Satan’s Devils MC San Diego #3) by Manda Mellett – Review by Jennifer Gordon

Avenging Devil Part 1: Satan's Devils MC San DiegoAvenging Devil Part 1: Satan’s Devils MC San Diego by Manda Mellett
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I am a big fan of Manda Mellett’s and always look forward to a new Satan’s Devils MC novel coming out and as usual I was not disappointed by this latest instalment. The storyline is set within the San Diego chapter of the Satan’s Devils MC and is book three in the series. This story focuses on ex marine and biker Niran and Saffie, who meet at the hospital when Niran takes Grumbler’s ‘Old Lady’ Mary to a prenatal appointment. Saffie is also there for an appointment and gets some life changing sad news. Saffie is on the run from a horrific past and feels as though she is falling apart when she meets Niran, Niran sees that Saffie is a strong women who is hurting and needs a friend, which is what they become at first. When they first meet Niran is not wearing his Cut and is in his truck so Saffie does not realise he is part of a MC straightaway and when she finds out it’s like her worst nightmare. However, with her past catching up with her she also realises that she needs Niran by her side.

This novel takes you on an emotional rollercoaster whilst reading it and as it’s part one of two it does end on a very dramatic cliffhanger, so I am impatiently waiting for part two now. This is a very dark and intense read which deals with very harrowing themes which may be triggers for some. Having said that as usual the story is wonderfully written and the authors descriptive narrative brings the Satan’s Devils MC setting and characters to life. I felt fully immersed in the storyline and the dramatic plot kept me both gripped and hooked from start to finish. This is an engaging romantic suspense MC novel which I could not put down and I am looking forward to part two especially following that cliffhanger ending……

Tangled Roots (Witches of Willow Creek: Tangled Magic #1) – Denise D. Young

4-stars

Tangled Roots was an entertaining paranormal read. It’s the first book in this series and a great start to a series it is, I look forward to reading more of it asap.

I loved all of the detail that this author wrote with, right from the beginning I was intrigued as I could clearly picture everything playing out in my mind. It felt as if I was right there with these characters with all of the detail.

I do feel like the ending of this story came really quickly and I would have loved to read this story for longer to get answers to all of my questions.

I look forward to reading more from this author!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Tangled Roots by Denise D. Young is the first book in the Witches of Willow Creek: Tangled Magic series. This is a great paranormal story that felt like it had a bit of everything to keep you interested. I really enjoyed the premise of this book.
It felt a little different to others I have read in the genre which made it even more enjoyable. I loved the two characters as well. They were so different and yeh worked so well together. It worked perfectly in the context of this story and the roles they had.
I think this is a great start to a new series and I am already looking forward to book two.
