Love by Design (The Meraki Series Book 2) by Effie Kammenou – Review by Jennifer Gordon

Love by Design (The Meraki series, #2)Love by Design by Effie Kammenou
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

‘Love by Design’ is book two in ‘The Meraki Series’, however it can be read as a standalone story but the characters do crossover. Having enjoyed the previous book I was looking forward to this instalment and was not disappointed. Mia Andarakis is Kally from ‘Love Is What You Bake Of It’ sister, who has just started her new dream job at a luxury magazine. Mia can’t believe that the man she’s had a crush on, Nicholas Aristedis is her boss however, he is nothing like she had imagined and seems to actually dislike her making it almost impossible for them to work together. Nicholas is determined to avoid any more heartbreak and so has closed his heart to love but Mia has awakened feelings in him and the only way to deal with these is to push her away. When Mia and Nicholas have to work together to launch a new publication they discover that their connection is deeper than either of them realised. Nicholas also helps Mia to uncover the mystery behind her grandfather’s disappearance. The couple have to learn to forget their past traumas and to trust in love. This is a heartwarming romance which took me on an emotional rollercoaster and I felt engaged with the likeable and relatable characters. The picturesque locations where bought vividly to life by the wonderfully descriptive narrative making me feel immersed in the storyline. I could not put this book down and would recommend both this book and the previous one in the series.

The Earl and the Peahen (The Scarlet Salon Book 5) by Jean Wilde – Review by Betsy Melano

The Earl and the PeahenThe Earl and the Peahen by Jean Wilde
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The Earl and the Peahen (The Scarlet Salon Book 5) by Jean Wilde is a wonderful historical romance novel. Jane Mayfield is not a beauty like he mother or her sisters. At 25, Jane is older than many of the debutants of society, but her friend Isabelle for the season to find a husband. Jane doesn’t wish to marry just anyone like the older suitors who are close to her father’s age. She dreams of finding a love match. Through Isabelle and her husband Jane meets Alexander, the Earl of Norwich at a event. Soon after meeting Jane and Alexander have a conversation about his waistcoat, which Jane compares to getting attention like a male peacock!
Jane and Alexander are wonderful characters who are brought together again when they are kidnapped by mistake. Their friendship begins in this awful setting. I’m sure you will fall in love with these two like I did.

Sure As Hell (Life Is Hell Book 4) by Naomi Valkyrie – Review by Elizabeth Sanchez

Sure As Hell (Life is Hell #4)Sure As Hell by Naomi Valkyrie
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Sure as Hell is the 4th book in Naomi Valkyrie’s series Life is Hell. It should be read as part of the series, because all the characters overlap. To fully understand what each character is (as they are all paranormal) and their relationships (many overlapping relationships, 3 somes, etc). Also, the series is awesome, so really, you’d be doing yourself a favor by reading them all. I don’t normally read paranormal books, but I am hooked on this series.
This book focuses on Jaru and Lark. As with all books in the series, there is a bit of romance, as well as a bit of action and suspense. Because this book’s main character is an imp, and former contract companion (think call girl), and contains mixed relationships, it is for a more mature audience. I enjoyed getting to know Lark as more than a prankster fairy he has been in the previous books. I also enjoyed seeing Jaru grow up, so to speak, and learn to be his own person, outside of being a companion. Looking forward to the next book in the series

Naomi Valkyrie does not disappoint. This series is so much fun to read. I enjoyed Jaru’s story and found it wonderful to see him grow as an individual and to find love for himself. As always, Naomi Valkyrie’s world was vibrant and full of fun and intrique. There was some adventure and as always the good guy wins. This is an excellent series and I hope Naomi Valkyrie continues to explore this world.

The Earl and the PeahenThe Earl and the Peahen by Jean Wilde
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I like historic romances, and I love reading them. The etiquette, the dresses, the balls, the dances, and romance brewing between all this – it has a charm in it.
Jane Mayfield, already considered a old spinster, and is obliged to settle to an advantageous marriage to an older gentleman. But she is a romantic by heart and wants to marry for love. Her plain looks and sharp tongue do not help the already grim situation in any way.
In London, she is introduced to Alexander Gordan, Earl of Norwich, handsome, dashing and arrogant. She compares him to a peacock who can attract a harem of peahens. They do not make much of a first impression on each other, but fate lands them together in a less pleasant situation.
A mistaken identity gets them kidnapped and they develop a liking towards each other. They find a way to escape the kidnappers, but will the society spare them? How do they avoid the gossip and rumors which have already spread in the society? Will Alexander walk away from Jane or will they get their fairy tale romance together?
I really liked the plot and the lead characters. After a long time, a breezy romance, which is a good read.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is the fourth book in the Billionaire Bodyguards series. I would suggest that you read all the books in the series in order to get the most out of the series. This is a fast paced story that kept me turning the pages wanting to know what was happening. The characters are amazing and unforgettable. There is danger around every corner. This book is about Dereck and Layla. Dereck has been assigned to a gentleman who gets into the trafficking ring. This is where Dereck meets Layla. Dereck and Layla find themselves in danger.. Will Dereck and Layla have a happy ending or will they find themselves in a deadly situation? I highly recommend this book to see what happens to Dereck and Layla.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Relentless is the fourth book in the Billionaire Bodyguard series. You can read it as a standalone, but it’s a good idea to read the previous ones as there are some tie ins.
I’m going to start off by saying that the repeated use of the endearment ‘Princess’ grated on me. Pretty sure that’s a personal preference thing, though. Outside of that, the story is pretty good. Definitely full of the drama, danger, intrigue, and steamy scenes you would expect to find in a mafia romance series.

Sure As Hell (Life is Hell #4)Sure As Hell by Naomi Valkyrie
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

A wonderfully written paranormal romance which had me hooked from page one. The author has created a detailed world which is bought to life by the descriptive narrative. I felt fully immersed in the story and engaged with the likeable and relatable characters. Imp and former contract companion Jaru Fane just wants to prove himself and although outwardly he looks confident inside he feels as though he is falling apart. Luckily he has the support of his Juniper Lake family and decides to start his own contract companion business. However, this means that Jaru’s best friend and prankster Lark becomes lonely and so he decides to make sure that Jaru knows he still exists. This results in their relationship developing but when Lark is in danger it’s Jaru’s bodyguard Soren that can help not him. Although Soren can keep Lark safe Jaru worries he may have lost him for good. The storyline flows well and the plot kept me happily turning the pages but it was the characters and their complex relationships that had me gripped. Although this novel is part of a series it can be read as a standalone story but the characters do crossover. I look forward to future books in the ‘Life is Hell’ series.

Considering I jumped into this series with Book 4 I can honestly say that this author did a tremendous job writing with so much detail. I do believe that this book would be better enjoyed having read the first three but I had no problem whatsoever starting from here. The author provided enough detail and information that I was able to piece stuff together as I was introduced to these wonderful characters.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book from start to finish. I loved the dual POV, the character development and the never a dull moment storyline. I quickly found myself intrigued and captivated by these characters and their complex and dynamic lives, having finished this book now I am really looking forward to starting this series from the beginning!

My Sweet GI AUDIO BOOK by T.L Wainwright – Review by Kerry Baker

My Sweet GI Audio Book by T.L. Wainwright is a brilliant historical romance that has such an attention to detail. I loved listening to this book right from the start. The narrator has been picked perfectly for this book. They really captured the accents and the areas so well. Being from the area myself it really helped me picture everything in so much more detail and I felt like I was right there with the main character at all times.

I thought the story was good as well. It was more emotional than I expected it to be and there were a few times that I could have cried for Jenny. Her journey was such a difficult one and yet she was determined to do the best that she could. My only criticism about this book would be that the revelation toward the end seemed a bit far fetched. It feel like the author could have written it in a way that still achieved their goal but also made a little more sense. However this didn’t take away too much from how much I enjoyed this book.

I thoroughly enjoyed this engaging and wonderfully written historical romance. Although book five in ‘The Scarlet Salon’ series by Jean Wilde it can be read as a standalone story. I loved the characters and I was swept along by the romantic storyline. The descriptive narrative really made both the era and the setting come to life and I felt fully immersed in the story. I was hooked from page one until the last page. The main characters, Jane Mayfield the plain spinster and the peacock dandy, Alexander Gordon, the Earl of Norwich, were both likeable and relatable. Although Jane can not compete with the young debutantes who have generous dowries she is determined that during her London season she will make an advantageous love match. Alexander Gordon is lonely and wants a family but he is also looking for love. Although Jane captures his attention she’s not the ideal match he had in mind. After a case of mistaken identity the couple end up imprisoned by a professional criminal. As Jane and Alexander are imprisoned together romance blossoms but once they are freed Jane wonders if their mutual attraction will last. The couple definitely have chemistry which came across in the writing and I was hoping they would get their happy ever after. I could not put this book down and I definitely recommend it.

RelentlessRelentless by Via Mari
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

 

4 ½ Stars

 

Relentless is the fourth book in the Billionaire Bodyguards series by Via Mari. It is another engrossing romantic suspense from Via Mari. The story is full of danger, drama, action, mystery, suspense, a sex trafficking ring, secrets, intrigue, chemistry, and a whole lot of sizzle.
As with the rest of the series, this book could be read as a standalone, as each book in the series focuses on a different couple. But, having said that, I really recommend reading the previous three books before starting on this one, because not only are they great stories in their own right/s- but there are also recurring characters who you will want to know more about and a bridging storyline with interconnected details, and crossovers of timelines, settings, and events- so knowing what happens in each book will definitely enhance your appreciation of this story, and the series as a whole.
I have followed Via Mari from her first book in the Prestian series all the way through all her book, so I know I can always count on her to deliver a superb romantic suspense with palpable tension, sizzling chemistry, dramatic developments, and surprising twists. But it’s not all action and suspense- there is banter, comradery, friendships, lighter moments, and plenty of depth and emotion, which really makes her work so captivating.
So, buckle up and get set to follow Dereck and Layla, as all the excitement and drama unfolds!

Thank you, Via Mari!

Fake Fiancé (A Second Chance Office Romance) AUDIO BOOK by Amy McKinley – Review by Cora Ryan

I was very surprised by this audiobook; it was very engaging and captivating. You could feel their chemistry coming off the words and narration. I could not stop listening to it. I recommend this listen to anyone who enjoys heartwarming office romance. As I was listening I was cheering for Adeline’s character to find her happily every after what that meant for her, she is such a strong woman that it is nice to see her vulnerable through parts of the book.

I love an enemies to lovers story when it’s done like this. It didn’t go from I hate you, to I can’t live without you in one page. I loved the first book in this series and this one is just as good. I truly love this author and will be reading more of her books soon!

Reading book one is not necessary in order to follow this story, but I highly recommend it as it follows a family and adds more enjoyment to this book. I loved Mia and the interaction with Nicholas made me laugh out loud at times. She’s got the sass that I just love.

This book had all that you would want in a story, and I can see me wanting to read these again in the future, and I can’t forget the recipes, I just can’t say enough about this book..It is awesome!

Loved it!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I really enjoy historical romance and I loved this one. The author’s writing pulls you right in. This is the 5th book in The Scarlet Series but can be read as a stand alone.

This is Jane and Alexander’s story. Jane is determined to find love. She meets Alexander and it’s not love at first sight. They are total opposites and I had a LOL moment with the nickname she gave him. Moving forward they find themselves in a predicament that will throw them together and they grow closer.

Will they get home safely? Will they get a HEA or will they go back to the way things were?

Overall this was a great historical read. I really liked Jane and Alexander. If you’re looking for a read that pulls you right in, 1-click and start reading this one today. I look forward to reading more from this author.

I would highly recommend that you read this series in order to get the full effect of all the characters. This is a fantasy story with amazing storyline that is fast paced and so hard to put down. I wanted the story to last longer, but I just had to find out how it ended, so it was a one sitting read for me. I’m looking forward to the next book in this series, it’s bound to be brilliant.

The highs and lows were realistic, dealing with personal fears of failure and accomplishment – who doesn’t go through this in their own lives. Overall the book was kitschy, an enjoyable read, time well spent decompressing from the stresses of reality.

Anyone that loves a good love story should read this book. The relatability between Quinn and Tucker is amazing. To see two stars as a regular person in this book is just amazing. The story takes place in Nashville TN, place where I was born and raised and I was hooked. Quinn seems to be so relatable even though she is an actress wanting to change careers because we learn not everything is as it seems. Same with Tucker, like the saying goes don’t judge a book by its cover. Can’t wait to read more and see where these 2 end up.

4 Stars

I think the Life is Hell series is amazing. It is filled with drama, romance, danger, magic and supernatural beings. The stories are set in Juniper Lake, a quaint little town which happens to be a hot spot for demons. It all started with a demon bedding a vacation to it becoming a home to several. Each story focuses on a separate couple so you can read them as stand-alones but the series is too good not to read them all.

This book focuses on Jaru and Lark. An imp and a pixie; seems unlikely but it works. They started off as friends and steadily grew closer. They reached the tipping point in this story. I wasn’t too sure about them because both are very childlike. With this situation, it clicks and the chemistry is there. The author adds some twists which will surprise you. This wasn’t my favourite book in the series because both Jaru and Lark are very insecure and needy. I was happy to see moments of strength from both of them which raised my opinion of them. The story is well written and will keep you guessing. It’s a good addition to the series. Looking forward to the next one.

This book truly captivated me, Honestly there was so much to love. Personally i related to the main character Mia. She was strong and ambitious but i found she was like myself…afraid to let anyone in even when the most amazing person comes into your life, despite everything your mind is telling you about not to tae a chance, you should listen to your heart and and take a leap of faith and take a chance on love and let the reationship “design” and “build itself. Watching Mia and Nicholas fall in love thru their expereicnes or their pit pats or the sad times it truly showed me that even tho with all going wrong the right person can always make all ok!

This book truly toched me as it made me think of my personal life, with my now husbamd, I was alwasy afraid and withdrawn untl i bulldozed those fears and let love be built!

Plus another note I love how Mia was Tallys sister from the first novel she wrote in the series. I loved that even tho its about different characters the story continues. Just walking the shoes of a different sibling

Honestly I loved this book with all my hearts content. It gave me joy, laughter, moments of one more chapter turning into 5 more haha,
