I would give this book a 3.5 if I could. The cliché characters and predictable plot push this novel towards 3 stars, but the great quality and well roundedness of the writing style is enough to merit a 4 star rating. If you enjoy office romances, especially one that’s dripping with all the stereotypes and tropes that come with the genre, then you’ll get exactly what you’re looking for. However, if you were wishing to get something that offered something different or more, look elsewhere. Regan is definitely a polarizing character. You either love her and enjoy the tension that her personal baggage brings to the romance, or you’ll find yourself pulling your hair out over her issues. I recommend Executive’s Decision to anyone who’s just looking for an easy read.

I love this book! The story completely drew me in from the beginning, and I fell in love with all the characters. Jacob was super annoying, I was getting really mad for poor Madison, and the fact that he goes against pack law not once but twice is also slightly concerning. Zach and Emily are the sweetest together, but the way Zach treats Emily towards the end when the big bomb was dropped had me angry. I can understand why he would be upset but it is always better to talk things out instead of walking away and avoiding it. It also seem as the end he gets all up in his feelings and might make the worst decision he could regarding his and Emily’s future relationship. I was more invested in Jacob and Madison’s relationship than the others but still want to know what will happen. I can not wait until the next book comes out, I need to know what happens!
Sure As Hell by Naomi Valkyrie is the fourth book in the Life Is Hell series. This is an absolutely brilliant series and this book is just another fantastic addition. I was instantly hooker when I started reading this book and felt like I connected with the characters straight away. By the end of this book I definitely think it had become my favourite one so far. I love the way this author creates her stories. I find them to be so compelling and really imaginative. Each book has been exciting. Whenever I get a new book by this author I have to read it straight away. I thought this book was amazing and so well written and I am already so excited for whatever comes next.

This was a great book!! I was super disappointed when it ended, and with a cliffhanger at that! I enjoy books about the supernatural world and this one was not a disappointment.
The characters were lovable and struggled with not only normal high school issues, but learning how to deal with their legacies. I think puberty is hard enough without having to deal with if you are a wolf, witch, or dealing with vampire enemies.
I am definitely looking for the next installment of this series!!
Madeline Fay just got herself a new fan!!! Spiteful Punks is the best book I’ve read in the last two years….. what does that mean…. well out of the 86 books I’ve read since January 2020 this is my favorite. It’s DARK!!! GUT WRENCHING!!! NAIL BITING!!! TWISTED!!!! AND OOOOO SO SEXY!!! I’m a huge fan of Dark Romance (The darker the better) and I just can’t put into words how much I loved this book. The characters are expertly crafted especially Tillie, her multi layered character is absolutely perfect. She’s vulnerable but still strong with some sassy comebacks but most of all she’s a SURVIVOR!!! I can’t wait to read the next book. But be warned this book does have some heavy triggers!!!

I’ve always loved a good paranormal romance, but haven’t picked one up in quite a while. Revelations brought me back to my teen years when these kinds of reads were my absolute favorite! I loved that you got to know more than one couple in this book. Though it seemed to focus mostly on Zach and Emily, and I loved the start to their story. It definitely left off on a cliffhanger, but I’ll be coming back to see what happens next for this group of friends.

Revelations is book one in the Separate Worlds series by Izzibella Beau. This is a paranormal romance that begins in excitement, kept me interested, was dramatic and left me with a cliffhanger. Revelations is a dramatic tale that would really suit the young adult audience, but can be enjoyed by paranormal romance lovers of all ages. The writing style was smooth and easy to follow, as well as being attention grabbing and entertaining. A high energy story that was quite enjoyable. 4 stars.
Revelations by Izzibella Beau has a bit of everything your little YA heart desires. The author builds a world that draws you straight in. There’s teenage angst but not over the top and a good dose of chemistry with a splash of paranormal thrown in. I really enjoyed getting to know each of the characters and as this is written in third person, the reader gets more of an insight into the motives behind everyone’s actions. A cliffy at the end too. I recommend this book and I will be definitely checking out book 2.

This book went full throttle! I was on the edge of my seat from beginning to end. I do not recollect ever encountering a dark romance novel before, but I am so glad that this was the book that introduced me to it, especially with the reality of said darkness. Whether it’s the crazy, the evil, or anything else, nothing is sugarcoated. I cannot wait to keep rooting for Tillie in the next book!

Try Right was my first book in the Aloha series, but I will definitely be going back to read the others! Jill Brashear created a wonderful world set in Hawaii in the 1960s – a very different time and age to today! The attitudes of men towards women amongst other things was well written even if they drove me insane as 21st century woman! The insights into the world of Hollywood/TV shows of the era and especially that of stuntmen like Henry were fascinating! Definitely recommended as a fun, somewhat spicy read!

Spiteful Punks: dolls and douchebags part one by Madeline Fay – Review by Gail Guerrero
Four Stars
I don’t know whether to love it or hate it. It was such a good read. Tillie such an amazing female lead. The pain and trauma just unimaginable. The strength that it takes you push yourself to survive when everything is bringing you down. I was amazing how she kept trying and pushing herself to be better. The guys were the part that made me want to hate it. I don’t normally do harem stories so for there to be so many guys I cringed. Thought this story is well written the cringe wasn’t bad. It will definitely take some getting used to because it’s not my thing. But the author delivers such an amazing story. That I am willing to get over it and keep reading.

Try Right (Aloha Series book 3) by Jill Brashear – Review by Gail Guerrero
Five stars
This story was sweet and dreamy. Claudia and Henry are dream characters. They give you all the feels and all the romance. While searching for a lost love you would’ve thought Claudia would find a new much more tantalizing love. A love so pure it has the readers falling too. I really loved how the characters were written. You got to bond with Claudia because she didn’t let game go to her head. She was down to earth and real. Henry is a dream. I was ready to be written into this story just to shoot my shot to him. These are the type of male characters that make dating for reads in real life so hard. Are expectations are really high. We want a man with flaws but also goes above and beyond for his woman. Definitely try this author out you won’t be disappointed!

The Inheritance: The Story of an Unlikely Submissive by India Kells
I was intrigued by this book when reading the synopsis so I thought I would give it a try since I have liked everything by Ms. Kells I have read or listened to so far.
The storyline was really good, I wish it had gone a little longer. The narrator’s voice would get me so into the story that I would find myself stopping what I was doing just to listen more intently.
I hope to have the opportunity to listen to more by both. My

The Inheritance: The Story of an Unlikely Submissive is a short story by India Kells. Although short, this book packs a big punch. This is my new favorite books by Ms. Kells. If you like your reads Sizzling Hot, this is the book for you. Lani is a young woman who is a budding artist, who is trying to get her life together. Max is a recluse millionaire keeping himself safe from the world. When they come together it is explosive and their chemistry is off the charts. I listened to this book in one sitting and loved every minute of it. This is the first book I have listened to by Antonio Turner. He does an excellent job bringing the characters to life. His voice is easy to listen to. I’m definitely looking forward to listening to more of Mr. Turner’s narrations. I highly recommend this book. Five Stars! Review by @sunbarn

I was pulled in from the beginning with Claudia’s surfing lessons, or I should say attempt at surfing. She ended up having a great connection with her trainer. We then jump ahead a few years. Claudia finds herself back in Hawaii and she is determined to find her soulmate and get her career back on track.
Henry is a stuntman that Claudia meets on the set of her new job. When he agrees to help her find her soul mate, they start to grow closer. Will they be able to find him? What will happen when Henry’s secret comes out?
Overall I really enjoyed this book, the characters were great and I really enjoyed this story. If you’re looking for a great read that pulls you right in this is the one for you. This is the third book in the Aloha series that can be read as a stand alone, however it does help you get to know the characters a little better. Loved it!

Queen Of My Heart (Life Won’t Wait Book 1) by Nikki Lynn Barrett is a romance connecting through music. There is so much in this story to love.
Quinn Winter is sick of being the actress with the most dead-end roles. She’s making a much-needed shift in her life after discovering her love of music while playing a country singer on a daytime soap opera. Quinn is unprepared for the demands and aspirations that come with becoming a successful musician in Music City. Her sister’s begging call places her in an all-too-familiar, but an unwelcome situation. Tucker auditioned for a reality singing competition five years ago, never intending to win. His sudden celebrity and success come as a complete shock. His second album is suffering from the dreaded sophomore jinx, despite a platinum debut. When he is plagued with guilt over an accident that affects his family, his artistic muse becomes inaccessible. Quinn astounds him when he overhears her audition singing his song.
An attraction develops, and a musical link is created. When life gets in the way, Tucker comes up with a new plan. A temporary union that will support them both before things get too real. Two souls destined, two hearts blending to make beautiful music as individuals, but even better as country music’s next power pair- if they can let go of their past selves.
I loved every page of it and can’t wait to read book two.

However, this is a hard time for him and his friends because they going through some not-so-human changes thanks to being shifters. While they are feeling the pull their mate bonds, they are also focused on revenge. They have a hatred toward the vampires since they tore their family apart.

Before too long, secrets are spilled that can put an end to Emily and Zach’s relationship before it even really gets a chance to grow. This book is filled with wonderful characters and the author’s words have a way of pulling you into the story so you feel like you are there. Once it was over, I was left wanting more…so I am looking forward to the next book.
This is a fun, whimsical read! Take it to the beach and get caught up in the world of Claudia and Henry!
Let the miscommunications, and the over thinking begin! The characters were enjoyable and the setting spectacular! You couldn’t help but love Henry and want to be Claudia. While the scenes were explicit at times, you could feel the energy between the two. Overall, it was an enjoyable read.

This book was one I thought I wouldn’t like from the beginning. You really have to catch me with the cover and it didn’t initially grab me. However, I am glad I read it as the story did. I liked the characters a lot. I liked Henry in particular. He really seemed like a likable guy and I found myself rooting for him as I continued to read. There were definitely times I wanted to yell at the characters because I was so into the story. Would definitely recommend it.

Queen of My Heart (Life Won’t Wait book 1)is my first book by Nikki Lynn Barrett.
Quinn Winters is looking for a change and she is going to try her hand at singing. She couldn’t ask for someone to help better than the next King of Country Music – Tucker McGinnis. But Tucker gets a little more than is expected when Quinn’s past crashes into her present.
The emotions and development of the characters were good in this book. But I felt there were times that things moved a little too slow, that it had me setting the book down and coming back to it.

Fake Fiancé: A Second Chance Office Romance by Amy McKinley 4 Stars!!!!
I really love the audio books. I like to be able to plug in my earphones and hear the book and go about my jobs. I love how the narrator is able to accentuate her voice and bring the characters to life. I was able to just drift off into the book and visualize the goings on. I really felt as though I was part of the story.
The characters are really brought to life by the narrator. I was really able to feel all the emotions Adeline was feeling and really routed for her and Stone. It may have started out as a rouse but it all falls into place. I really enjoyed this audio book and will definitely read and/or listen to more from this author.

I got grown up Twilight/True Blood vibes from this story. I did really enjoy this book and found the character development that took place over the course of the book really well done. I especially liked the Jacob and Madison character arc. I could tell that the author had considered each different character arc and how the plotlines would interlink, and this was well thought out. When Emily starts a new school, she meets Zach, brother of the school’s star football player and resident bad boy, and his best friend’s Madison, and Danny and Alex who have just started dating. I liked the supernatural element of this story and am looking forward to each different character’s supernatural abilities being shown more in the next instalment.
This was an enjoyable and engaging read with a friends to lovers storyline set in Hawaii in 1968. I was swept away by this descriptive Hawaiian Retro romance which featured great characters in Claudia and Henry. Although part of a series it can be read as a standalone story, however having read and enjoyed this novel I am looking forward to reading the previous two books in the ‘Aloha’ series. Claudia has gone from being one of Hollywood’s most sought after actresses to having a bit part in a tv series, the only good thing about this is that it’s filmed in Hawaii. Hawaii also happens to be where her first love, a heroic surfer, lives and Claudia is keen to track down her long lost love. Claudia asks Henry, a stuntman on set to help her find the surfer, however Henry doesn’t really want to find him as he’s falling in love with Claudia himself. This is a wonderfully written heartwarming romance story which had me happily turning the pages. The authors descriptive narrative really bought Hawaii in 1968 to life, so much so that I felt fully immersed in the story and could almost feel the Hawaiian heat. Claudia and Henry are likeable and relatable characters who are just meant to be together, but unfortunately Claudia thinks she should be with a surfer she was once in love with. I was cheering them on hoping that they would get their happy ever after and could not put the book down until I had found out whether they did or not. No spoilers, as I recommend reading this novel.

I was excited to get my hands on this book the moment I saw the cover. I am a sucker for bright and enticing covers that draw me in before I even read the blurb. I have never read anything by Jill Brashear before and I think this was the perfect start for me to experience her writing. This was a fun read and even though it was the third in the Aloha Series I was able to read it with no issues. I will be going back to read the rest now that I have loved this one so much though. This one is set in 1968 in Hawaii and is so beautiful to read. I felt as if I was propped up with my fav drink on the beach watching the adventure unfold before me as the waves crashed on the shore in front of me. The way Brashear describes her scenes really pulls you in and makes you experience everything first hand. I liked the unique spin on a second chance love story. I am so excited to see what will come next!

Jill Brashear Try Right: A Friends to Lovers Romance (Aloha Series Book 3)
This was a super cute and well written story. I have not read the two previous books in this series of stand alones, but I will for sure go do that.
I fell in love with her style of writing and love how she portrayed her characters and scenes so realistically. Henry is such a gem and stand up guy and Claudia is so relatable with striving to be strong, independent, and yearns to be taken seriously. I love how they balance each other out so well but still have their faults- characters can’t be perfect! She even nailed the personalities of other side characters in the book; spoiler, men can be sleazy.
The scenes she sets are wonderful and descriptive and not too wordy. I’ve never been on a movie set or to Hawaii but Jill paints a clear picture that is easy to visualize. The plot is fun, not too predictable, and keeps you interested from start to finish.
I would definitely recommend reading this book on vacation so you don’t have any interruptions!
