Blue Summer Part One by Everly Taylor

5 out of 5 stars

This is the first book that I have read by this author and it was pretty good and different. The characters are well written and the way they play off each other with their little quirks.

Little heard whispers of the blue skinned Zayed in hushed whispers. They said we should fear them. And her first encounter with The Zayed would not only change my opinion but change her life forever.

Save by the Zayed kidnapped by a sorcerer for powers she didn’t have than she escapes to only be gifted such powers.

This book ends with a cliff hanger…. I really enjoyed and highly recommend this story

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

While I love fantasy books, I am not much for sci-fi, but boy oh boy did Blue Summer: Part One by Everly Taylor catch me off guard this book was so amazing that I couldn’t put it down. The way that Ms. Everly writes she makes you feel every emotion her characters feel, and she leaves you feeling like your in the middle of the action. While it is only 133 pages Ms. Taylor provides us with a great story, fantastic characters, and given the right imagination beautiful scenery. If you are looking for a great short story then I highly recommend Blue Summer: Part One, I know I personally can’t wait to read part 2.

Life’s a witch is book 3 in the New Orleans Nocturnes. I actually have not read the first 2 books. I loved this book so much. It is so funny. The characters are so vivid and real. I will be reading the rest of this series. Crimson is a disaster of a witch and Mike is a hot demon who can make dreams come true, what could go wrong…or right!

Twisted Secrets (Deadly Isles Special Ops #1)Twisted Secrets by Amy McKinley
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book had me flipping back in forth as to who was behind the terror haunting Riley. Amy McKinley kept me on the edge of my seat until the very end. Xander the Navy Seal and Riley the barista have sparks flying as they get to know one another. With trouble brewing in both of their lives, this was a tense book. I loved the strength Riley has when she finds out the truth of who is behind the break ins at her apartment. I await the continuation of the next book. Will all settle down or is this just the beginning for Xander and Riley?

Magic and love knows no bounds in this collection. Stories of old become new again on this surprising group of stories. If the first story wasn’t to your liking you’ve got six more to try. Maybe a saucy Robinhood is waiting to tantalize you are mine or are you after the Greek gods. Either way you can’t go wrong when reading this book. A great pick to start off your summer reading.

As soon as i started this book I just knew I was going to fall in love with this series. The cover drew me in straight away, had me intrigued throughout. Was not disappointed this is such a great read. Lillie is thrown into a world of action and lust when she meets two sexy blue skinned Zayed named Heath and Clay. It definitely reminds me of the smurfs which was one of my favourites as a child. I cannot recommend this book enough.

THE DEVOTED FAN (21ST Century Courtesan Book 5) by Pamela DuMond writing as P. S. DuMond – Review by Jennifer Gordon

THE DEVOTED FANTHE DEVOTED FAN by Pamela DuMond
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I was hooked from page one of this romantic suspense which is book five in the ‘21ST Century Courtesan’ series. I would personally recommend reading this series in order as the storyline continues throughout the series. The main character, Evelyn Berlinger is a 21st Century Courtesan who used to moonlight at Ma Maison. Evie is used to billionaires paying large amounts of money to be with her as she is Empathic. Evie is still mourning the loss of her husband, Wyatt who she loved and sadly couldn’t help. Following his death everything changed for Evie as Wyatt bequeathed his fortune to her. However, whilst Evie just wants to start a new life believing the worst is now behind her she soon learns that karma has other plans. The plot twists kept this story exciting and it’s filled with drama, suspense and romance, as Evie struggles with her feelings for her late husbands brother, Easton. I found this psychological thriller both enjoyable and engaging and the complex storyline and intriguing characters ensured that I could not put this book down.

Eye of the Storm (A Gray Ghost Novel, book 2) AUDIO BOOK by Amy McKinley

Eye of the Storm is the second book in the A Gray Ghost Series by Amy McKinley. I absolutely loved reading this book and truly enjoyed listening to it more. The narrator did an amazing job bringing the story to life. I never thought I would be such a huge fan of Audibles. I’ve quickly become a huge fan of them.
This can be read/listened to as a standalone but I recommend reading/listening to them in order. This is Chris and Mari’s story. He finds himself waking up in the jungle stating into the eyes of a beautiful woman but no idea who she is or how he got there. She may be his only hope of surviving although she has secrets of her own. There on a mission to get to the sanctuary but what happens when revenge may be more important? Find out what happens next in this must read/listen. I listened to this in one sitting only because I had to know what was going to happen next. I can’t wait to listen to more books from this Author.

The Devoted Fan by Pamela DuMond a fabulous five-star read. This is the fifth and final story in the 21st Century Courtesan series and its best to read them all in order as they do tell a great story and this ending is just great. I don’t want to give anything away as this while series has kept me on my toes, as the ending will just not allow you to settle, it too keeps you hooked. This has been a great series and I am sorry its over, but what a story.

An Unexpected Bonding (The Unexpected Trilogy Book 1) by Lilly Rayman – Review by Jenni Bishop

An Unexpected Bonding: Book One of The Unexpected TrilogyAn Unexpected Bonding: Book One of The Unexpected Trilogy by Lilly Rayman
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

3.5 stars

An Unexpected Bonding: Book One of The Unexpected Trilogy by Lilly Rayman is a paranormal romance tale. It took me quite some time to become used to Lilly’s writing style. The story jumps back and forward in time and from person to person that was not at all clear. It is an original tale with Gods of Egyptian myths, vampires and shifters, and fairies. The story is rich in detail, but I found it hard to fully settle into the tale.

Twisted Secrets (Deadly Isles Special Ops Series, book 1) AUDIO BOOK by Amy McKinley – Review by Bobbi Wagner

This is not my first audio by this author but it is one of my favorites by her.  I enjoyed the narrator’s tone of voice and what it brought to the story.  The narrator brought the characters to life using different tones.  This is a story that brings the romance and action into one well rounded story. The characters bring the story to life with each page.  This is a story about two people who have lives that are not going as well as they expected until a once chance meeting in a coffee shop.   As danger merges and the past comes to the present, the action really picks up.   I highly recommend this audio and this author.

Oh my gosh I LOVED this audible! This story is so much fun, I even laughed out loud at many parts (thank goodness I work from home lol). Loved it when Jane referenced Twilight characters and calling Ethan “Edward”. Definitely continuing the series, it is truly a fun listen. The narrator of this book is perfect!

Terrified, desperate, and left with no other choice.
That was Sara Flemming when she was younger. Now, she helped those that were stuck in the very system she had fought against so hard. She knew all too well what it was like to be scared to the point that you felt you had no other choice but to run.
At least that was what she thought she had done all those years ago.
Rachael Duncan was the spitting image of Sara as a teen, in more ways than any of them could have even been prepared for. Running from her abusive foster family landed her case on Sara’s desk, who was determined to do whatever she had to, in order to help the young girl.
One phone call would change everything and have Rachael running toward the very place Sara had been so desperate to escape.
Colin Fulton was happy to live his life in the small town of Victory. That was until Rachael came barreling into his town, bringing with her someone that he thought he would never see again.
With the past haunting them, and the future uncertain, would they learn to trust again and find love and happiness? Or will the memories of the past be too much to overcome?

Sleeping Angel (Soul Connection Book 2) by Nikki Lynn Barrett – Review by Charlisa Wahtomy-Alba

Logan McVey has lost his little sister, his best friend and he blames himself even though he had nothing to do with it. Angel McCready came forward with information that put away the guys that were responsible for taking Andi away. Logan blames Angel for not speaking up and saving his sister from the monster he thought were his friends. Angel herself even carries around guilt for what happened and often wonders if Andi had given her any signs that she needed help. Angel knows that Logan hates her with a passion for not speaking up sooner and is just waiting for something to happen. On the night of her birthday she has a party and is enjoying herself and having a good time with her friends until she is in an accident that leaves her in a coma. When she wakes up she is in someone else’s body and has no idea who this person is or how she ended up there. Why couldn’t she get back into her own body? Will she find out who this person is and how they figure into everything that is going on? Will Logan ever be able to forgive her?

I found this book as enjoyable as the first one. I am looking forward to seeing what new characters the author brings into the third book and how it connects to the first two. This is yet another book by this author that once I started I didn’t want to put down. It was a bit of a different take on how one sees ghosts and souls jumping into different bodies, but when it comes down to it I don’t think there is really a right or wrong way to view that.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Cursed Whispers is the 3rd book in the Broderick Coven series but it’s the first one I’ve read. So it can be read as a standalone.
The doctor dolittle vibes and the cover drew me to this book. I love the authors writing stile so I’m definitely checking out the first 2 books after this.
I never would have thought that a male witch could be so sexy. But this kindhearted man with his protective personality just gave me all the feels and was exactly what and who Claudia needs.
I absolutely loved it and I’m excited to read how this coven started.

3 out of 5 stars!

Blue Summer Part One is a flirty re-telling of a childhood favorite cartoon that comes to life. I won’t spoil the fun, but it’s full of sexy blue men who don’t have any females of their kind! Taylor drops you into a beautifully steamy blue world where you have to suspend belief and just go with it. Her characters are developed, for such a quick read, and her world is bright and vivid. I kinda wish this had been extended into a longer story so that it encompassed a longer period than 48 hrs., so that it was more believable, but as it reads it’s still a fun little quickie! (pun totally intended!) This does end on a cliffhanger, but it truly just makes you need to one-click Blue Summer Part 2!

Cam Johns really knows how to bring mayhem, murder, and mafia into a great story. I absolutely loved this book. Braelynn is a strong female character that really empowered me and Johns made you fall in love with all of the characters no matter how good or bad they were.

Braeylynn gets caught up in a predicament but is it truly self defense or is this something she has been wanting to do. She ends up turning over secrets that help her mafia boyfriends father gain power within the family. She struggles with the acceptance because she is not of Italian heritage.

I don’t know what you are waiting for! Go and grab this book!!

No Rest for the Wicked (Life is Hell #1)No Rest for the Wicked by Naomi Valkyrie
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I thoroughly enjoyed this paranormal romance which is the first book in an exciting new series by Valkyrie. Delilah Hawthorne is a vengeance demon who is tired of killing and vengeance and just wants a vacation. Arriving in the small and peaceful looking town of Juniper Lake she rents a cabin and prepares for a restful vacation but unfortunately fate has other ideas. Delilah not only has a nosy sheriff to deal with but also three conniving witches who are set on murder, so it’s just as well that the Sheriff is rather sexy. Delilah soon realises that here really is no rest for the wicked! This fun and action packed story had me gripped from start to finish. The authors wonderful world building and descriptive narrative really bought both the characters and the setting to life and made me feel immersed in the story. The characters all add a different element to the story and I especially loved the main character, Delilah and her witty comments. I found this an entertaining and engaging read and look forward to the rest of the ‘Life is Hell’ series.

This book was not what I expected. It was so much better! I really enjoyed the fast pace of the story and the intriguing characters. There is so much going on and so so many secrets. I enjoyed it all!

Delilah is not what I expected. I was expecting a sex addict, cruel demon. But surprisingly she is nice and just tired and wants a break from life. She has all kinds of cool powers and abilities. The other characters in here are all full of surprises.

Again I am thrilled at how enjoyable this story is. The smooth writing and the fast pace was wonderful. I can see why this has a lot of five star reviews. I look forward to the next one

This book had me laughing and feeling bad for the characters. Delilah is someone you should not mess with. She will always get her way in the end. For a demon she was very human. I loved that I could relate to her and everything she does is on her terms. She knows she’s a demon but tries to do some good in her situation. I wish I got more background to Caspian. These the only characters that was just there. Yes he tried to help his friend but I had more questions than answered. I can’t wait to read more!

Braelynn Shaw, just made partner in her law firm. A law firm that defends the worst of the worst criminals. I loved this story of intrigue and romance.

Will a common enemy help them to follow their hearts? I couldn’t put this book down and read it in one sitting. I fell in love with the characters and was rooting them on the whole way.
Definitely getting the next book to read.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the first time reading a Wareeze Woodson book. It pulled me in rather quickly. I give Emily, the heroine of the story, full credit of said pulling me in. She is a likable character that you can’t help to feel for. When you meet dear Emily she is put up as collateral by her guardian to pay his debts. (Rude and most definitely had to be illegal.) But with a stroke of luck or horror, depending on whom you ask, Earl of Lenbridge wins. The progresses at a fast pace and is an easy read. I definitely recommend it to other historical romance lovers

This book left me hanging, and I will be looking for the second part to come out. I am really getting an “ adult Smurf” vibe from this book, if anyone is old enough to remember them! Lillie runs into a bit of trouble and is helped by two men from a tribe of blue people. Later, she is kidnapped by a madman and is again saved by the two blue men, and some of their clan members. How can she help them against the mad scientist trying to destroy them? A quick, entertaining read.

An Unexpected Bonding by Lilly Rayman is the first book in The Unexpected Trilogy. This book is a great mix of vampire, werewolves and other mythology that is all woven together intricately to create an interest and original story. This is the first book that I have read by this author and I really enjoyed the way the story was put together. The mix of different fantasy strands worked really well and provided a great balance to the overall story.
I enjoyed reading about the main characters as well. I thought they combination of their personalities was done with ease and I could really feel the connection they had between them. I easily got behind their story and wanted to see what was going to happen. I thoroughly enjoyed this book from the moment I started reading and I am looking forward to the next in the series.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Cursed Whispers is the third book in the Broderick Coven series by A. J. Renee.
If you are yet to read the previous books in this series it is not essential before reading this one.

Max lives, breathes, and works with animals. He doesn’t just heal them, but he can actually talk to them…think Dr. Dolittle, but with more paranormal and magical vibes.
Claudia is a werewolf and is on the run from her past. She is rescued by Max when he finds her hurt and in distress. She needs more than just medical help, she needs to face her past and save her daughter.

I loved this story. I sometimes find it difficult to get hooked from the start with werewolf-type stories, but this one was great. It is action-packed, the characters are full of energy and passion and there is tonnes of chemistry. I am very much looking forward to the next installment.
