I really enjoyed this different take on a paranormal story. Tanjie didn’t known she was a witch until her neighbor passes away and leaves her what she thinks is a bookstore. Her character is independent and a bit stubborn. She wants to make her own life decisions but it seems more like fate already knows what it wants. Alaric is the Alpha’s son and should be next in line if he can stop chasing skirts and start acting like part of the pack. But it’s next to impossible once he met Tanjie. There’s definitely a pull between them. What will it mean for the witches and the wolves?
The author did a very good job with world building and made me like the main characters as well as a few others, from the start. My only complaint is I still have so many questions! I can’t wait until book 2 comes out!

This book had everything. Violence to suspense to spice!! I really enjoyed this! It’s a rather large book but it didn’t feel like it because the story and characters pulled me right in and kept me interested every page. I loved the drama and action especially. Wonderfully written thriller with romance and I highly suggest this. Check the warnings.

Rise of the Y: A YA Post Apocalyptic Dystopian was awesome! Shelton does a great job world building and describing the situation of Lexi and Reeves, and those around them. The book is kind of like Hunger Games meets Divergent, but also unique in itself at the same time. The characters emotions are conveyed perfectly and there were a few small twists that I was not expecting. Overall really enjoyed it and definitely recommend!

Themes of Kismet has so much potential! It has an interesting plot with great characters that you really grow to love (and hate) because they’re well-developed. Noah and Ebun feel destined to be together after many chance encounters, or maybe it is kismet. Time after time, something gets in the way of them being able to live they lives they so desire. Communication has the ability to make or break their relationship. Kismet and meet cute really are fun underlying themes. As far as the story goes, it is an easy read. At times, the actions and lack of communication are quite juvenile, but so are the characters.

Themes of Kismet is a sweet romance about fate and second chances and more. This is a fairly new author to me and I’m definitely a fan already. Their style of writing and attention to detail made it easy to engage with the characters and I felt like I was a part of the story from beginning to the end. I truly enjoyed reading this book. Let me just say the cover is absolutely stunning and I could stare at it for hours. Our main characters met when they were younger then once again a bit later and again a few years later. Is it fate? Get ready to be taken on quite the emotional journey with the main characters as they face secrets , drama and a bit of danger. Can these two get there chance at happiness? I highly recommend reading this book to find out what happens next. Im already looking forward to reading more from this Author.

A second chance, interracial romance. Can she forgive him for a misunderstanding that happened 10 years ago? Will she finally give him a chance to explain what happened? On their journey of forgiving, they have many people rooting for them. Great story line.

An evolving world How amazing is this series! Book 8 and I am totally fan girling! Each book in this series is so strong in their own right but together makes for one hell of a ride. I love the world this author has created with mafia-esk vampires, alpha males, equally strong females and fiery passion ❤️🔥 that bleeds from the pages. This is Master Sardinia’s story and boy does he protect what is his – swoon! Bring on book 9. Highly recommend!

Brilliant series starter The first book in the Witch Moon series, Dark Moon Secrets was a strong start. With immersive world building, strong characters and a solid story line, this engaging paranormal fantasy had me hooked. The scene has been set for so much more to come and with a range of different characters which I feel will all play a role in Tanjie & Alaric’s future. I eagerly await book 2. Highly Recommend.

This is the next installment in the Hidden Valley Elite Series. Please check trigger and content warnings. Your mental health is important. This one follows Shane and Winter. And yes it ends in a cliffhanger. I am in love with this series and this one did not let me down! Their emotions and chemistry I just love it so much. And without spoiling too much you really need to start from the beginning to understand everyone and everything.

The Inquisitor (WaterFyre Rising Book 4) by Nadia Han – Review by Jessica Stone
So first off, this book is part of The WaterFyre Rising series, but can be read as a standalone, I didn’t realize until I was halfway through this book that I missed reading one of them super I’m super thankful that it can be read as a standalone. That being said I have read the first two books in this series and this book, just like thoes, did not disappoint. The heat between Forrest and Keira is immediate, though there interactions take a bit of time to really combust, the chemistry is already there from a previous meetings, and being part of the same circle and it has not died down at all.
Forrest is a Doctor, thanks to growing up with his supportive grandma he’s grown his career into a successful life. Now he’s back in Texas for revenge, his father was killed brutally by a gang when he was a young child, he’s made it his life’s mission to avenge his family.
Keira is a fashion photographer, who’s just trying to make ends meet, after a accident at her moms work causes her to fall severely I’ll Keira’s taking every possible job she can, on top of her already busy schedule to pay for her moms medications and treatments. The last thing she has time for or interest in is a relationship or fling, so why she can’t seem to get Forrest off her mind. In a chance meeting the both wind up in Texas at the same time and things just take off from there. Keira gets kidnapped and it’s up to Forrest to choose between his vengeance and saving the girl he can’t get off his mind.
Ok so their chemistry is off the charts, it actually makes me giddy little a little girl, I can barely stay in my seat. I love how straight forward Forrest is about wanting Keira right off the back. The she’s mine, touch her and die vibes are strong with him. Keira has the best intentions with the worst execution, she’s got the biggest heart and with that big trusting heart sometimes comes pain, but that’s a chance worth taking I believe.
I’ve enjoyed this series so far, I can’t wait to see the next book and I’m interested to see more come from a certain situation that ties all the male protagonist from this series, I feel like every book gets a bit more exciting and I’m so excited to see everything come to a head and to read about the next couple. I would definitely recommend this series, but I would highly recommend reading the first 3 books just to get a little insight into all the characters and how they interconnect and their own personal stories.

4.5 stars Be True with Me is the third book in the Be with Me series by CA Miconi. I have not read anything that I have not liked by CA and this one may be my favourite so far. It is a wonderful small town second chance interracial romance with lots of feels, a bit of drama, a little humour, and sugar and spice. It was easy to lose myself in the story, that I was engrossed in from beginning to end. I read the story in one sitting for some much needed me time. I loved the characters who captured my heart and loved that we met with old friends from previous books. Make sure to read the other books first as the characters cross over but it could be read as a standalone.
Lauren knows what it is like to have nothing, and she vows she will do everything to help and make this Christmas the best Christmas for these two in need can have. But can 10 years erase the heartache that feels so fresh when you come face to face with the one who betrayed you? Can she open her heart to let trust in? Jake is dedicated to making dreams come true this Christmas, but can 10 years erase the guilt and pain when coming face to face to the one who thought you betrayed them? Can he help her overcome her fears? I look forward to what comes next.

Themes of Kismet by A. Akinosho. This is such a good contemporary fiction love story. Its the story of Noah and Ebun and how true love will always find a way.

Though this can stand alone you don’t want to miss the prior books in this series to understand who Shane is before this book starts. Shane starts the series where we left off facing manslaughter charges for punching a guy for Erica the girl he was providing body guard services for. Thankfully video evidence clears his name but not everyone is happy about that outcome. Enter Winter, a girl from Shane’s past, a girl that absolutely tormented him when they were kids and Shane has a plan for payback. What he doesn’t anticipate is the explosive chemistry and he’s caught between wanting revenge and wanting Winter. She doesn’t remember Shane but he will make sure she does. As always at the cliffhanger I literally say outloud to the author bro why you gotta play me like that??? But I’d read everyone of them over again and again full well knowing I’ll be desperate to read the next story because these characters are finally coming full circle and I’m going to be devastated when the series is over.

This is an absolutely super cute quick read. It definitely got me into the holiday spirit. It has the, “What will go wrong, does go wrong”; mantra to it. You automatically feel drawn to Lizzie because the writer evokes compassion when writing about her. When she decides to buy her friends ticket to Australia, she could have never fathomed what was about to happen. This where I kept turning the pages in the book. I could not get enough of the setting and wonderful characters. This book will have your swooning and laughing at the same time. The way the author is able to grab your attention and keep it from page one to the end, speaks of how well written this book is. This books gave me Hallmark Christmas Movie vibes and I am here for it. If you want to have an escape or just want something to get you into the Christmas Spirit this is the book for you. I will probably reread this book a few times during the holiday season. Reviewed by: @bbohls

This book was just adorable. A cute, quick read with the perfect romantic trope. I actually loved how Belinda started off the book with a Dear Reader note, it made the book feel more intimate and provided a better understanding of some of the UK language choices she used (I think I only googled like maybe two words while reading!). Lizzie and Shona’s friendship feels ridiculously familiar, like they could be my own friends. I definitely wish I had a friend that would help me take a trip to Australia! When Lizzie meets Jaz and his associated friends/family, I couldn’t wait to see where the romance would go. Super cute story, highly recommended for a cozy holiday read!

A little cheesy and a whole lot of beautiful. This couple, Lauren and Jason, were wonderful together, but their misunderstanding during their college days really messed up what they could have had with each other. I can imagine Lauren’s heartbreak. Seeing them meet up again after so long seems like fate to me. I love Lauren’s heart, she is so caring and passionate about helping others. Her taking in the twins for the Christmas season, and Jason helping out really rekindled the love they had for each other. Sweet romance, sweet couple.

This was an emotional story that hit me right in the feels. Two people with some issues to deal with. They had a betrayal happen in college that caused some major hurt. A second chance at love happened with a chance to help a family in need. I was into this book right from the start. Another story that hits a little close to home. It felt very realistic and vulnerable. It felt emotional and hearttorn, heartwarming at the same time. It’s a story that you can totally dig right into because you can feel that things will work out . A beautiful story that is worth reading.

As a older lady Olivia is thinking she is past all the dating game and is happy with her chaotic life at the moment, but when her Ex-husband is remarrying and is is invited to the wedding Olivia decides that she is happy going to the even single, but her grown up children decide to enrol a friend as a “Fake Boyfriend” for her.
Having check into her Island bungalow a knock arrives at the door and when she open’s it, there standing in all his glory is Hockey star Roman all muscles and hunky. How is she suppose to navigate the situation when she is instantly attracted to him?
Roman is starting to feel his age, although in other profession being 41 would be the pinnacle of life but with his body feeling the pressure of a professional athletic he is starting to doubt how long he can go on. So when his friends convinced him to play the role of the “Fake Boyfriend” so when he arrives and starts seeing they have more in common and an attraction, can he just be platonic or push for more?
I love Sylvie Stewart books so with her name on the cover as well as Marika Ray I knew I would not be disappointed and I definitely wasn’t. The story is well developed and the characters were brilliant to drive the story forward. I so related to the character of Olivia with the start of the menopause I feel the insecurities and the hilarious commentary had me laughing out loud.
I loved the character of Roman who was a perfect equal to Olivia’s character as the doubts and vulnerability of growing older and finding the love they deserve. The way he stuck up for her and understood the insomnia and being that support that she had not had was lovely to read. I could not put this book down and can’t wait to read more from this partnership.

For fans of spicy historical romance with a twist—set in Spain/Portugal—but with all the crucial elements that make me love this genre. It’s got period details, romance tropes, and a plot that isn’t only about a love story. The characters are well-developed, although sometimes the writing took me out of the story a little. I haven’t read the other two books in this series but I’m sure I’ll be picking up a book by this author again in no time.

Within the first few pages I was drawn in and I could not put it down at all. I love how the author uses the other previous books in the series to intertwine what’s going on with this one. Also, there is a backstory on the history of Shane and Winter which is very well thought out. The story does flow very well together, goes from one character’s point of view to the other, very easy to follow.

I loved this book; it started right off where the last book in the series had left us hanging on the cliffhanger! Isla Vaughn is one of my favorite authors, she is an absolute genius when it comes to keeping you engaged in a book, that you never want to come to an end. The fact that every single major character that we met in the very first book in this series continues to get their turn at being the star of their mini-story in the Hidden Valley Elite series is so amazing. Not only do you get to know and understand them as if they are the stars, but their story does not end when their mini-stories, they continue to develop and grow as the story progresses in this series. Wicked Games allows us to get to know Shane, one of the twins, stories, as we learn about his struggles from childhood with the mysterious Winter. As Shane seeks to exact his revenge on his childhood bully, he doesn’t realize that he is starting to fall for her, all while dealing with his trial from a fatal accident he caused. I could not put this book down and am dying to see where the next book in this series will pick up, there are so many new questions that are left unanswered. I love the intrigue and the mystery that this latest installment in this series brings, from the twin’s dad and the role he’s trying to take in the boy’s lives. Aspen’s pregnancy is coming so close to her due date, the mystery behind Winter’s sister’s death, and her mother’s impending parole hearing.

In this story Shane and Winter meet up again at Thane University, but Winter doesn’t recognize the boy that she once tormented on the playground. Shane on the other hand recognized her immediately. He has revenge on his mind but after they share a kiss he is having second thoughts. All of these books have been great and they all build on the one previously. If you intend on reading any of them you DEFINITELY have to start with book one. The twists and turns of this story will keep you hooked and wondering what happens next. It looks like the next installment of this series could be the conclusion and I can’t wait to see how the author ties it all up. <br/><br/> <a href=”https://www.goodreads.com/review/list/106111308-charlisa-wahtomy-alba”>View all my reviews</a>

This was my first read by this author. Despite the fact that she gets too wordy sometimes but not wordy enough others, overall a delightful read. There were enough twists and turns, curves out of nowhere to keep you reading.
Noah is your typical 13 year old boy, but even moodier because his vacation is getting cut short because of his little sister’s accident. When his mother decides to take him on a walk in the airport to improve his mood, Noah doesn’t expect to find the love of his life. She was reaching for a book on a high shelf, Noah grabbed for her and when she appeared too distraught to read, Noah read to her. That chance meeting in an airport sealed their fates together.
When Noah sees her again, he remembers her. She remembers him. Ebun can’t believe her luck. When things are falling apart around her, she crosses paths with the one person that seems to calm her storms, if only briefly. Ebun’s life is not what it seems to be. When her mother died, she thought she would be going to live with her father only to discover that he was appointing a guardian for her and she was going to remain in London. Ebun and her father visit and spend time with each other but it is not the same. When her father dies unexpectedly, Ebun is left without family except for the half-brother’s she didn’t even know she had.
Life gets more complicated for Ebun when one of her brothers threatens her life and tries to steal her inheritance. This causes Ebun to lead a life of constant movement, never staying in one place for very long, constantly changing her looks, using colored contacts as part of her disguise, and limiting the number of people close to her. When she crosses paths with Noah for a third time, she takes the chance and spends more time with him. As they get to know one another, Noah and Ebun quickly fall in love with the other but never say it. Ebun’s life is still in too much flux for her to settle down or want to bring Noah into her drama.
Over the course of the next several years, Noah and Ebun travel to be with each other across the globe. When Noah pushes for more, Ebun runs. She is too afraid of the family drama to allow her heart what it desires, a life with Noah. As family and friends stick their noses into Noah and Ebun’s relationship, drama and chaos ensue. Hearts are broken. New bonds are forged. Long, lost family is discovered. Stalkers issue threats. Can Noah and Ebun ever find happiness? One can not deny the pull of kismet, the strings of fate.
Take the time to cross the globe in love and adventure with Noah and Ebun. It is worth it.

‘I had no idea how to be a witch, but I would learn. I couldn’t wait to get started and discover everything this new world opening up for me had to offer.’
Dark Moon Secrets is the first book in The Witch Moon Series by Lilliana Rose. After reading her ‘Protector Wolf Shifter’ series, I was really excited to dive into this book as soon as it hit my Kindle. As expected, it was a superb paranormal romance with the rich and vivid world-building and scene-setting that I have come to expect from Ms. Rose. With a bit of an enemies to lovers element, witches, wolf shifters, agendas, secrets, destiny/fate, action, adventure, tension, intrigue, high stakes, chemistry, spice, and plenty more- I couldn’t put the book down- reading it in one sitting because I was so immersed and invested in the story. Tanjie though she was a ‘normal’ human- but with the death of her friend and neighbour, her life takes a strange turn, and she discovers that there is much more to the world than she had believed. Now she must claim her birthright and accept what destiny has in store for her as the future of the coven depends on Tanjie- as they balance the power and actions of the ‘magical’ and supernatural world. Again, Ms. Rose weaves a gripping story with plenty of suspenseful, intriguing, and mysterious elements that kept me turning the pages to find out what was going on. The story ended with things still unresolved – so everything is set to continue in the next instalment ‘New Moon Fate’ (Book #2) – and I can’t wait. Happy Reading…

Wicked Games: A Dark College Bully Romance (Hidden Valley Elite Book 7)
Just when I think I can’t get more addicted to these characters and this series I end up even more so then with the previous books. I have been involved from the very beginning and will there until the bitter end. These cliffhangers are killing me, but what a way to go.
Shane isn’t having the best year between what happened to his twin Phoenix, dealing with his grandfather and dealing his issues with his father and unfortunately it doesn’t improve from there.
Winter transfers in to Thane after a semester at her local community college not expecting to know anyone outside of her brother Jaxon. But runs into an old friend she hadn’t seen in several years.
So many things to discuss and questionsto ask, but won’t since I’m expecting all of it to be cleared with the next book. Though the thought of having to say bye to this group makes me sad.
I’m once again impatiently waiting for the next book to be released and have no doubt I will finish the same day as I have with each and every book before.

Hot Flashes and Hockey Slashes (Hot Flash Hookups Book 1)
I have found characters that I could relate to in one way or another, but nothing like the way I related to Olivia. I love my romance books, but so many the characters are the same age groups as my daughters. Olivia is close to my age and dealing with the next phase of her life as a empty nester going through the change.
This book had me laughing out loud with some of what happens, like when Olivia and Roman met.
Roman is a single dad to Hannah, she and her roommate Holly talk him into playing fake date to Olivia. Their initial meeting isn’t ideal but I found it very funny.
The kids are in the background most of the time, but when they are there they are entertaining and pretty dead on what adult kids are like with their parents. I can think of a few lectures my daughter has given me.
I have read several books by Ms. Stewart and enjoyed each and every one of them. This was my introduction to Ms. Ray and I will be looking for more by here.
