This is an emotion filled rollercoaster of a book which has you gripped from page one and doesn’t let go. There are trigger warnings for this book which are needed because of the issues covered in the story. Domestic abuse is a hard topic to cover and do justice to but this author has done a fantastic job. Its the first book I’ve read in a long time where I have actually felt the fear of the female character. Its like a horror movie where your screaming at them to leave but its easier said than done when you are actually in that situation.
Gianna thought her life would be perfect. She met the man of her dreams, he brought her dream house, treated her like a princess. However her prince wasn’t all that he seemed and their chance meeting wasn’t by chance at all.
Ethan planned everything. What Ethan wants Ethan gets. Whether that’s the cute barmaid who’s caught his eye, an obedient wife or a family he will stop at nothing to get his way. This leads him to resort to physical and mental abuse.
Add to the mix Derek a stranger she met on her wedding day. The connection between them was strong and felt right but they parted ways. He never forgot her and when they meet again he is still drawn to her. He can tell she has had a bad life but he doesn’t realise how bad. Trying to separate truth from lies he learns its worse than he ever could have imagined.
Can Derek fix Gianna and help her recover from her past. Or are the scars left by Ethan and his abuse to deeply bedded inside her?
The Sound Of Silence is an outstanding psychological romantic thriller by Dakota Willink that had me on the edge of my seat throughout. Prior to reading The Sound of Silence I had never read any of Dakota Willink’s work but if this book is anything to go by then I will definitely be reading more. This book is very dark and the author rightly gives a trigger warning for distressing scenes of abuse. So if you can get past the dark scenes then this book is a fantastic thrilling read. It had me gripped from the very first page, right up to the very end. It is the proverbial ‘page turner’. Gianna’s life probably looks wonderful to those outside; happily married to the chief of police. This could not be further from the truth. But hey, he’s a policeman, who is she going to tell her story to that will believe her. A chance meeting with a handsome stranger on her wedding day, followed by another chance meeting with the stranger a few years later could be the one thing that changes Gianna’s life. I absolutely adored the character of Derek. He is the exact opposite of everything Ethan (Gianna’s husband) ever was. He’s patient, caring, loving and gentle and the way he interacts with Gianna has my heart melting. This book, although very dark in places is a fantastic read. There’s danger, intrigue, evil and violence and then there’s love and compassion and romance. I would definitely recommend this book. I would give it more than 5 stars if I could.

The first book in the Chase security series starts off strong. Ian and Cassie are both very strong willed characters. Cassie life is falling into place when an assignment conjures up past experiences and not good ones. Cassie has been through alot in her life and there slot of backstory in this book. The storyline flows and is well developed.
Book 2 Secure Again This is the second book in the series. This is a thrilling read and action packed from the start. There are a ton of characters who play parts in this story. It’s a well written experience you feel your best pounding as you walk through with these. Martin is the leading male and going back home has changed him. I love Elizabeth she’s an inspiration character. A few twist and turns.
Book 3 Secure Heart
Another great book by Dunn as part of the Chase security series. I adore Julian and Holly’s they are such characters. Julian having previously made an appearance in a previous book I enjoyed getting to know him more in this one. Each character has thier own unique personality and characteristics . I highly recommend reading this series.

This is the second in the series and it stands up to the same standard as the first. It’s fast paced, filled with characters that make me want to know them better and is quite the page turner.
To say I loved it is an understatement. The story moves along. It is filled with action and suspense. I have all the characters in Noctem in a list. Each one has different qualifications and skills. I can’t wait to learn about them all. This one is Sloane. She is an ex cop and runs as the vigilante. She has had some difficult past and it’s nerve wracking watching her trying to change. She goes through some ups an downs in dealing with the past and self doubt.
Overall I enjoyed this one as much as I did the first. It isn’t necessary to read book 1 before reading this. It might enrich your enjoyment but not necessary.

Since discovering this series and all the clever titles, I’ve fallen in love with Carrie Pulkinen’s writing style and story telling. She is an amazing writer, truly. I wanted to read this story, since it is apart of the series but I feel like my feelings will be bias unfortunately. I dislike Christmas and since I have such strong feelings about it – I feel as if I couldn’t get completely lost in the story. The reason I still gave this a decently high rate is because the story telling is still brilliant, I love the characters and the cross over as well. If you like Christmas and all the holly, jolly feels it brings, then I recommend this book to you.

Wow, this book was intense. It was my first Dakota Willink read and also my first Black Rose Collection novel. So I wasn’t used to reading darker titles. That being said, The Sound of Silence instantly gripped me! Characters who weren’t who you thought they would be and moments that kept you guessing and gasping. There is the non-spoiler alert of domestic violence as mentioned in the blurb, so be prepared to hate characters but since that is obviously the intention of the author, I would highly recommend this book!

The Secure Box set is made up of 3 books. All of which are very easy to read. Who doesn’t love books with strong alpha men, action, romance, and excitement. The books definitely will not bore anyone. I enjoyed reading these books and found the characters lovable. The author did a great job with the plot of all 3 books to keep the reader entertained and interested in what will happen next. I found myself looking at the clock thinking I need to go to get to sleep but let me just read one more chapter first.

Dunn – Review by Michelle Mulvey
We first meet Donovan Trait, a handsome, dashing and confident lawyer who has never lost a case and is known to many as the hottest lawyer in Chicago, he knows his legislation and he also knows his ways around a judge and jury, he is also a three hundred year old vampire. The case in question this time is the illegal seizure of goods and harassment by law enforcement of his clients, he wins again of course, but as he is heading away from the courtroom, a brief tryst with a judge afterwards and through the lunchtime rush in the streets surrounding it, he receives a text message which is out of the ordinary, but believes that it is just a friend playing one of their usual pranks, that is until he ends up in hospital after receiving a stab wound to the side and collapses in the street. He wakes up in the hospital and on an IV blood transfusion and to the dulcet tones of his secretary pretending to be his fiancee in order to access his hospital room to get his sorted and out, at least once he has spoken to the police first, luckily for him, the first one on the scene is one he knows and won’t ask too many questions about how he is already healing after receiving a wound which would kill a human.
Next we meet the mystery killer and find out that they are very disturbed by the fact that Donovan Tate isn’t dead and that there is no mention of this in the newspapers at all, she then decides to give it another try because her plan would not succeed unless he was the first one to die. After that, it would seem random as they would all be killed in different ways and by seemingly different people, she had written her list out and was determined to follow through with it and kill all the lawyers who had wronged her and her family in the past.
A couple of days later and Donovan is back in the courtroom and cross examining another witness, he again succeeds in this and after a visit to his sister, who discusses his behaviour both inside and outside the courtroom to try to glean some information about his latest conquest and why this one might be the one he settles down with, this as well as who may have it in for him within the professional boundaries. After he leaves another night of passion with his very human lady love, he gets in a taxi to go to court, but he is unnerved by the behaviour of his driver and so calls his friend in law enforcement to subtly check it out while he is being driven to work, it is just before his appearance that he decides to go to the bathroom to straighten out his suit when he is shot by a mystery woman and is again awoken by the dulcet tones of his secretary.
It is after this that he decides to stay out of the spotlight and lay low as this is being investigated and the killer is made to believe that he is at death’s door and in a private facility, this encourages her to move onto the next names on her list and as the bodies pile up and there are no more leads that things get more serious for everyone involved.
Will the dead lawyers stay dead or will the true nature of the victims come to light? Will the killer be found and caught, or will they do as they say and “Kill all the lawyers!”? This is a thriller with a dash of romance which will leave you guessing until the end and wanting to see who is committing all these dastardly deeds in Chicago, but the only way to find out who it is is to read on and find out.

Urban Justice (A Chicago Vigilantes Novel Book 2) by India Kells – Review by Gail Guerrero
Five Stars
This story had me hooked. India Kellé definitely knew what she was doing in this second book. The characters had chemistry out of this world. The first few pages you have to push through because Luke makes you want to slap him. With how much of a douche he is. Sloan was a very interesting character as she was the one out fighting for justice. Getting to the dirty truth. You always think of Batman when you think vigilante. But here we have a woman who past is anything but indulgent. Fighting for a city that will never thank her. I really liked how the author wrote Luke and Sloan coming together. The author made it all seem effortless. I would’ve like to explore those tunnels too. The thought of discovering something unknown to the world. To be apart of history in a permanent way. Definitely get this book so you can dive into the mystery.

Urban Justiceis the second book in the Chicago Vigilantes series by India Kells. I am really enjoying this series, and I think it would make a great television series too. As in the first book, the premise of this story/series grabbed me right off-the-bat. The whole vigilante justice angle mixed with plenty of action, danger, the underworld, angst, drama, and a new deadly drug- really set this off for a fast-paced and intriguing ride. Ms. Kells held my attention the whole way through this engrossing story- and I am looking forward to seeing what happens with the rest of the series!

Why can’t I give this more than five stars?!?! Lynne Russell has done it again. PJ Santini is a heroine with such sass – can I call her my spirit animal? This series is set in my childhood backyard with family members highlighted that feel like she has interviewed my own family. For me this book and series is amazingly relatable, strong, intriguing, and pure fun. It is magically put together with the perfect balance of whodunit, romantic tension, designer labels, and sarcastic wit. I LOVED this book and LOVE this series and need more now. Please? Pretty please?

Love Heels! Is the third book in the PJ Santini Series and my favorite yet. I’ve absolutely loved this series if you haven’t already read the first two books I highly recommend reading . This is a fast paced story that will have you turning the pages to see what happens next. PJ Santini is back at it again and finds herself going from a divorce case to a murder case. What could possibly go wrong? Find out what happens next in this must read. I can’t recommend not only this book but the whole series. I can’t wait to see what this author brings us next.

Gianluca: A Standalone Enemies-to-Lovers Office Romance (Marini Family Romance Book 1) by Isabella Cassazza is a contemporary romance story. Isabella takes us to one of the beautiful cities of love, Roma and takes you to the Tuscan sun. It also takes you into the cut throat world of fashion and one of the top fashion houses. The characters are fully realised and the chemistry starts off slow but soon builds up. Gianluca is a bit of a hardened man but finding love made me see him in a different light. It was easy to feel along with them, all the banter and frustration, the angst and the drama will keep you steadily turning the pages.

Love Heels!: The TV News Business Can be Murder by Lynne Russell is the third book in the PJ Santini series and was a really entertaining read! This is the first book I’ve read from this author, and apart from just a few instances in the novel I didn’t feel like I missed much at all, not reading the first two books first. This series was entertaining, thrilling in parts, and full of comedy. PJ’s grandmother had me laughing out loud throughout the whole thing! She was absolutely hilarious. I loved the crazy Italian family, it made the story even better in my opinion. The storyline was fascinating and I really enjoyed the characters. I can’t wait to read more of this series in the future!

Urban Justice (A Chicago Vigilantes Novel #2) by India Kells
5-stars
Urban Justice is another phenomenal book by India Kells. This is the second book in the Chicago Vigilantes series, a series that should be read in order as this book follows the first. This author never ceases to amaze me with all of the detail, which makes it so easy to picture everything playing out in my mind, keeping me highly entertained the whole way through.
I loved Sloane and Luke’s story and being able to follow along in their action-packed journey filled with so much character development. The two headstrong characters had me on my toes the whole way through constantly guessing how it would all play out, and I couldn’t be happier with how it ended.
If you’re looking for an action packed read with never a dull moment, steamy scenes and great characters look no further this is the series for you! I promise you will not be disappointed.

First We Kill All The Lawyers by Seelie Kay is the first book on the Donovan Trait series. This is quite a suspenseful story and it one that will absolutely grab your attention from page one! The author has really managed to keep this book interesting the whole way through. She throws in so many twists and turns that you are racing to get through it to find out how it will all end. I loved the main character as well. I thought he was such a well developed character it was so easy to connect with him. I wanted to read more about him even after thy r book had finished. This is a strong start to a new series and I am already excited to see what will be next!

Urban Justice by India Kells is the second book in the Chicago Vigilantes series. This is a fantastic follow up to the first book and was just as gripping a read! The book was intense and fast paced from start to finish. This is the type of book that you just have to read in one go because you just can’t put it down. At times it honestly felt like the pages just turned themselves. It was great to get back to these characters and their stories. They are intriguing and work so well together. It was brilliant to see their relationship developing throughout this story. India Kells has become one of those authors that I don’t question whether or not to get the book it is just a given that I will. She has an excellent writing style that really engages you as the reader. This is a fantastic series and one I would highly recommend.

So the story focuses around marital abuse and at times my heart broke when I was listening to this it was so gut-wrenching. From very early on you know exactly what it is going g to be happening in this book. I feel like the author handled it really well and respectively and sensitively too. I really like that the author tackled these topics and it was written really well.
The narrators of the audiobook did a fantastic job with this story and really brought it to life and also handled it with such care.
I always love a good a Vampire book, and Donovan Trait is great he is a 300 year old Vampire who just happens to be a Lawyer, he is confident, Hot and Charismatic. But there is someone who wants his blood, he is top of their hit list of all the Lawyers they want dead. But when they try to kill Donovan and he doesn’t die will they realise his secret? This story had me hooked from the start, its well written and there is some great characters also a bit of romance.

I loved that this book had us traveling back and forth in time. From the times of Prohibition to 2020, we’re thrown into a murder mystery that’s unlike any other. I love that the author’s personal settings happen to be thrown into these stories as well. Logan is also balancing a private life with her professional life which we know can be tough for her. This book is multilayered in numerous ways but the author definitely gets the reader to think about a lot while indulging in a murder mystery. These kinds of stories do wonders for my memory and for a new way of thinking.

Bake Believe is a pretty cool book which reminded me of this Netflix show “Just Add Magic”. This is a book on similar lines where the main character gets a family gift she never imagined. The gift is that whatever emotion she feels as she bakes is infused in her creation. This adds more fire to her already raging teenage problems and leads to comic consequences. I loved this book, it has a dash of magic, humor and innocent school day romance. To top it all, the detailed recipes are a huge bonus. My son is into baking and the recipes in the book are quite elaborate for him to try out. I absolutely adored this book!

Unwrapped was the perfect addition to my Holiday reading lineup! This story is written by Evelyn Sola and this is my first time ever reading a novel by her. Immediately I found myself wrapped up in this story and unable to put it down. Within the first chapter I both felt sorry for, and laughed at Nick, whom is the boss of Mona, whom is the mom of Miranda, whom is the narrator of this story. I found this story had many laughs, lots of suspense, an excellent amount of heartache, and just enough steamy romance. This entire story is based around the Christmas Holiday, and I just adored how much tradition was packed into it. I loved that every single character was likable and obviously flawed. This story is meant to be a standalone novel, and is targeted at mature audiences. I really enjoyed it and would recommend it to anyone looking for a quick holiday romance! 4 stars!

Urban Justice (A Chicago Vigilantes Novel Book 2) by India Kells. This author hasn’t failed me one single time since I for her. And this time was just another fine example of why she’s in my top favorite authors. Once again I found myself completely drawn in and and I couldn’t put this story down any easier than the others. This one is just as amazing as book one. The characters are complex and so easy to connect with. The storyline is engaging and unique you can’t help but read it in one sitting because trust me you’ll tell yourself to quit but you won’t be able to. Each character brings something different to the storyline and they truly make this an awesome story. You’ll be happy to get lost in these pages for a while trust me. Five stars all the way and highly recommended!

The Sound of Silence (Leave Me Breathless) by Dakota Willink. I love a story about characters who go through some of the most horrible things and learn to live again. This was my first read by this author but it definitely won’t be my last. This book isn’t for everyone it definitely has some hard issues brought up that may be difficult for some. I love books like this which may seem weird but I love when the characters aren’t shiny and new. I love tough characters that go through heck and back and can still be ok in the end. This book had me completely hooked from start to finish. The characters are complex and relatable, you can’t help but root for them. It’s well written and paced nicely never feeling rushed or lacking anything. I can’t wait to see what else this author has to offer. Five stars all the way and highly recommended.
When the doctors say there’s no hope, Santa begs to differ. After all, he claims, miracles are love combined with action to get the desired result. And at Christmas time, everyone deserves a miracle!
David Wright is dying from cancer. He is not expected to see another Christmas. At least that’s what the medical professionals say. Fortunately, Santa begs to differ. After all, modern medicine is nothing more than a best guess. Santa believes anything is possible until you give up. When Santa tells David’s wife, Joan, that heaven is full and she has to keep her husband alive, she is beside herself. She has no medical skills. How can she save anyone’s life? Set your skepticism aside as Santa embraces a family already mourning their father’s terminal diagnosis and teaches them that a Christmas miracle doesn’t always require heavenly intervention. Sometimes, all it takes is a family with enough love to create their own. As Santa says, a true miracle is when love combines with action to get the desired results. And only humans are capable of that. Will Santa’s words fall on deaf ears? Or will Team Wright find a way to save their father’s life?

After that her first (horrible) manuscript came to life. At thirteen she had received her very first rejection letter. Heartbroken, she continued to read even more to learn about the craft of writing.
Today Melinda calls West Virginia home, with her swoon worthy husband, three hilarious children, and three crazy puppies. She creates characters that she hopes her readers fall in love with as much as she has.
