Secure Boxed Set: Chase Security Series Books 1-3 by R.L. Dunn – Review by Jenni Bishop

Secure Boxed Set (Chase Security #1-3)Secure Boxed Set by R.L. Dunn
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Secure Boxed Set: Chase Security Series Books 1-3 by R.L. Dunn is a contemporary suspense boxed set that hold three amazing stories. These stories will have you biting nails and on the edge of your seat. Not to be missed.

Secure Desire is a great story that is fast paced and there is a lot happening, but it is enthralling and interesting and it certainly had me engrossed and invested. The suspense and mystery, lies and deceit are bad enough but the life of one woman had literally torn her apart. But the men who literally hold her life in their hands never want to see her go through anything like this again. There is intrigue and horror, alpha hot men and strong women, love and anger there are the monsters who think they are above everybody who will sicken you as you journey along with the wonderful characters that will melt your heart. I spent a lot of time with my heart in my throat and my jaw clenching whilst reading this book but there were times when my heart leapt with joy.

Cassie’s life was just coming together when a new assignment changed all that but what she doesn’t know is that the monsters from this assignment where the ones who changed her life six years ago. Now they have found her again her life will never be the same again. But one person who has just found her will do everything in his power to protect her.

Secure Again is another winner. It is a thrilling and enticing read that is nonstop action from the start to finish. There are so many players it is a wonder that R.L. was able to keep up with them all as it was a little daunting myself but she did a masterful job of weaving it all together to come out with a story that will have your heart pounding and your emotions on high alert. I really enjoy the Chase Group stories and love their characters. This one was a bit of a hard pill to swallow at the thought of what the evil men and women in this story were doing and I could not wait for their just deserts to be served with a side of whipped cream. It is choc-a-block full of action and danger, secrets and lies, heartache and love.

Dr. Elizabeth Reed is one strong and sassy, independent and beautiful woman but she is heartbroken. She has long suspected that things have not been right with the injuries she sees on some of her patients. When she asks questions, she doesn’t realise she is now putting herself in life threatening danger. However, when doing everything she can to save a life, she comes face to face with the one person who shattered her heart.

Martin Bailey is the CEO of Chase Security International, but all that is left behind when he has a family emergency. Whilst waiting for answers he finds himself face to face with the one person who tore his heart out and stomped on it. What he finds when he gets to the hospital will require the whole of Chase Security and then some to bring the monsters to justice.

Secure Heart – R.L. Dunn does not fail to deliver and this third book is just as enthralling as the previous two. It is nonstop thrills and action and this enticing fast paced story sees lots happening. R.L. keeps us entertained with lots of players and masters the art of giving us something that will have you on the edge of your seat and your heart pounding, the tension rising and your emotions on high. I can’t say enough about my love of the Chase Group stories and the characters. It is full of action and danger, secrets and lies, heartache and love, suspense and mystery, lies and deceit, alpha hot men and strong women. As you journey along with the wonderful characters your heart will be pumping, jaw clenching and times your heart will melt.

Holly Dupree Morrison is used to abuse but the thought of losing her daughter Sadie is unthinkable. When a stalker has his sights on Holly, she is forced to get help from Chase Security. How are the threats to Holly and Chase Security related?

Julian Dupart is the new head of the Chase Group and is trying to get his life back on track. So, when a sassy 4-year-old comes into his life she steals his heart, but he can’t face losing Sadie to the same fate that his wife died from. Whilst dealing with all this it seems that Julian and Chase Security are now in the sights of someone out to get them.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I really enjoyed this story. It was full of love and romance. The writer did such a good job writing the characters that you couldn’t help but fall in love with them.

Miranda had settled into her life living with her parents and being single since she split with her ex and she was happy with that.

That is until a chance meeting at her mother’s work Christmas party changed her life.

Nicky has stepped in to cover for his uncle at the place of business that Mona (Miranda’s mother) works. He gets off to a rocky start with his new employees and most of them don’t like him. So imagine his surprise when a woman at the Christmas party takes his eye and heart and that woman is the daughter of his employee who hates him.

Together they have obstacles to overcome. The age gap, people reactions and more importantly Miranda’s mothers reaction. Together they face all these things head on.

Is their love strong enough to overcome all these obstacles or will Miranda’s mother get her way and split them up?

This is the second book in this series. I enjoyed it just as much as the first one. This author keeps putting out books and i am impressed with every single one.

Urban Justice is the second book in the Chicago Vigilantes series. You could read it as a standalone because the author does a good job of giving bits of backstory, but you’ll get a better feel for the setup if you read book one.
This story starts out with action and keeps you turning the pages! I liked Sloane. She’s brave and dedicated to her mission. While it did feel like the attraction to Luke was a bit abrupt, their connection is still hot and steamy.
With the action, danger, mystery, and suspense, Urban Justice makes a great rainy-day reading adventure!

The Sound of Silence by Dakota Willink

The Sound of Silence by Dakota Willink is a Gut Wrenching Romantic Suspense that will literally take you on one heck of an emotional rollercoaster ride. I will add there may be some parts that maybe a be trigger for some with domestic violence and abuse. This is a beautifully written story that you can this author poured there heart and soul into it. From the very beginning I was drawn in and found myself lost in the pages and on the edge of my seat. I had a feeling what kind of person Ethan was and knew right away which direction this story was going to go. I haven’t personally ever been in this situation but I’ve got friends and family that have and its heartbreaking to think of the things they went through. Gia is a woman who has been through so much in life, she lost her mom to cancer and finds herself working at a bar but has dreams of much bigger things. Ethan is a man who on the outside seems to be everything any woman could ever dream about he is Chief of police. She quickly finds out is he’s anything but the dotting husband. Then there’s Derek who I pretty much love his character and his patience with Gia. Find out what happens next. I recommend reading this book. I don’t want to give to give to much away about this story. Im definitely going to check out more books by this author.

I couldn’t stop laughing through this whole story. The characters were hilarious and well written especially Crimson. From the first page she had me laughing. Her filter is missing. She is a clumsy witch but it hasn’t stopped her from being who she is. The demon anonymous was funny. I couldn’t help but to enjoy this story. Mike is an interesting character as well. I have fun with this one and can’t wait to read more. It put a twist on the supernatural. In most stories you hear about the paranormal not interacting well together. Here it’s a beautiful grouping of diverse characters. Rosemary can suck my toe with her serious control issues. She just did too much for me. Overall a good read with it serious moments but still making you laugh.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I have been eagerly waiting for Urban Justice, book 2 in the Chicago Vigilante Series, to come out. I loved the first book and love this one even more. The author writes in such a way that you want to read the book so you learn what happens, what situations the characters find themselves in, and see how they solve things. I love the Sloane, the strong female lead and the rest of her team who all have each other’s backs. The professor and former Marine, Luke, is a great addition and helps Sloane search the underground world to stop a dangerous drug. Although the book can be read alone, I highly suggest you read book 1 of the series first.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

What a story! I loved this! Couldn’t put it down! The story is enthralling! I mean a main character that’s easy to hate/love and has so much growth potential. Plus he speaks Italian? YES Please! Actually I love all these characters. Some we get to really know. Others we get a smidgen of knowledge. A few are past characters (Ice Tigers Book 1). All are intriguing, sassy and simply wonderful. Callie is a sweet character that is the complete opposite of Gianluca. That makes for some great banter and sexual tension. I don’t want to give any of this wonderful story away other than I highly recommend. Just read it!

I really can’t wait for more in this series. All the characters fill my heart with happiness. The storyline is not all rainbows and sunshine bit has some darker times too. It draws the reader in with the exciting characters and a strong, fun story.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Life’s a witch, what a perfect title to grab your attention.
Well, Carrie Pulkinen has, yet again, out done herself. She has, again, created another soul grabbing masterpiece.
Honestly, the amount of creativity and feels Carrie puts into her stories and characters leaves me completely speechless. It is more than just words on a page but a sense of realness and perfectly done story telling. This story had me on the edge of my seat, burying my face into my hands while I laughed and fanning myself.
But seriously – it yanks you in with a ride or die friendship, recovering demons that go to AA meetings, a ‘kind of’ witch that is more than just what she can or can not cast, a spontaneous lust turned into love… what more could you ask for?
You will not regret diving into this gem. My only warning is this story will grab you and hold you captive until the very last page.

I am new to Evelyn Sola but when I saw the gorgeous cover I knew I had to know what was between them. I am really glad I took the chance because this book is so adorable and perfect for the holiday season. This year is difficult for everyone and we have more time on our hands to do the simple things like read all the Holiday themed novels lol. This is a perfect addition to that list if you have one. The story is a contemporary romance with some age gap issues and opposites attract type sidelines. Miranda and Nick may have some odds stacked against them and will of course have some situations that will impede the newfound romance before it can really get off the ground. I loved these two though and was cheering for them to find that magical holiday feel and happily ever after. It was an ending I couldn’t have been more pleased with and now I look forward to seeing what else is available from Evelyn Sola!

Lynne Russell has once again brought us more fabulous PJ Santini in this third book of the series, Love Heels! The TV News Business Can be Murder. This book is the perfect lazy weeknd read and will keep you entertained as you try to figure out the outcome for Santini this time. I love these books because they really bring a realness that makes you feel as if you are right there with the character. It is accurate and hilarious at times while keeping the adventure level turned all the way up. I won’t detail too much more on the contents of this PJ Santini case other than what else is given in the synopsis but I can assure you this is one you don’t want to miss. I loved every moment of trying to follow and guess the case details of PJ’s latest and I cannot wait to get my hands on the next!

Life’s a Witch: A Paranormal Romantic Comedy (New Orleans Nocturnes Book 3) by Carrie Pulkinen – Review by Roxsanne Lesieur

Life's a Witch (New Orleans Nocturnes, #3)Life’s a Witch by Carrie Pulkinen
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is the story of Crimson Oliver, a witch who just can’t catch a break with her magic and everytime she casts a spell, something goes wrong and Mike Cortez, a demon in rehabilitation who makes deals with the devil and owns a restaurant all at the same time.

The story starts with Crimson as she is about to go in front of the Council of Elders of her coven, which is in direct relation to her latest magical mishap. As the Council convenes and Rosemary takes her place as head priestess, she asks one of the other witches to read out the charges against Crimson which, if they are found to be true, will .end up with Crimson having her power bound and a life in exile away from other witches for the rest of her life and Crimson has no intention of letting that happen as she is not guilty of any of the charges and given the result of her questioning, it looks like that is exactly what will happen, that is until she invokes the goddess and the right to challenge the high priestess to a magic battle and the goddess deems that it shall go ahead, much to the amazement of the rest of the coven, especially Rosemary. It is decided that the two witches have one month to prepare for the challenge and the winner takes the role of High Priestess and the loser has their magic bound and must live in exile, but Crimson is sure that Rosemary only rules the coven without their respect and decides that there must be more to Rosemary than meets the eye and that she will both find out and win the challenge, all she has to do is practice, practice and practice some more.

Next we meet Mike as he is about to go to his meet with a group of like minded demons and remembers to take his angel cake with him, a way to sweeten the evening, he also knows that he is late with his freedom payment when his hand starts to burn and his spine tingle, a sign that the connection between himself and Satan is itching for it to be paid. As the meeting winds up, Mike heads back home, he passes a few guys who he could read and see whether there could be a deal to strike, but he figures that it isn’t worth sending Satan yet another testicle as payment of the deal, he already has enough of those! He also sensed no malice in them and as he normally only made deals with those who would already be damned anyway, he passes on the opportunity, however, as soon as he gets past the restaurant downstairs and into his apartment, Satan is waiting for him, although it isn’t because he is late on a payment it is because he has a job for him, he is in need of a new assistant as his jealous girlfriend has gotten rid of the last one and he will only accept a witch, if Mike can manage it, then he can be free, so now the only thing Mike has to do is find one.

As Crimson and Mike decide to go to the same bar for different reasons and unbeknown to the other, they run into each other and the old flame ignites between them, but soon they have to go their separate ways before one of them decides to do something they would regret. The pull between them is too strong and they decide that they want to see where things will lead, but there are mishaps along the way and when they talk about it, they accidentally make a deal and Mike manages to damn Crimson when she agrees to give her body and soul to the devil in exchange for winning the contest against Rosemary.

This is a romp from New Orleans to Hell and back again, but will everything turn out to plan, or will history repeat itself? The only way to find out is to join the ride and find out.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I was so excited and ready to get my hands on this second book, Urban Justice, in the Chicago Vigilantes series from India Kells I adored the first and was literally on the edge of my seat waiting for this one, much like I am now in anticipation for a third. Urban Justice focuses on Sloane and Luke as they once again try to save Chicago. The energy in this book is intense right out of the gate and doesn’t stop until you read the last words. I found myself transported to the underground of Chicago and the adventure and romance was enough to keep me enthralled from beginning to end. I would recommend that you read the first one before this one though, it will give you the best experience and this is a series you don’t want to miss one word of. I won’t give much more details than what is in the synopsis because I cannot let this one be spoiled. It will be worth every minute you spend with it.

Rick is the third book in the Ingram Brothers series. While reading the previous books might give more detail on how one event originated in this story, I was able to read this book without having read the others.
I LOVED THIS BOOK! All the feels, all the steaminess. I don’t usually read books that are based in the state I live in and I’m glad that I didn’t realize this one was or I would have missed out on a superb story. The characters are written in a way that makes you connect to them right away. And, you will definitely want to read the prologue in this to get the set up. It makes all the difference to the depth of emotion you feel later on in the story.
Oh, and I can’t forget the kitchen scene with the air freshener – laugh out loud hilarious!

This is number two in the Chicago Vigilante series and is fast paced and thrilling with some great chemistry, but I just didn’t warm to the main character and that surprised me as I have loved all of the other characters this author has produced. I found Sloane to be fierce and feisty but couldn’t quiet grasp it all. It was fun getting deeper into the tunnels and deeper into Urbex and some of the other characters and the story.

This is book three in the PJ Santini series and follows on from the previous books. This book has elements of mystery and romance to it making it a thrilling read. Depressed, crabby, angry; this is the book to read. Your mood will change drastically as the story progress. Lynne Russell has written an incredibly entertaining and, at times, laugh-out-loud crime novel. I’m looking forward to the next in the series of P.J. Santini, her crazy family and friend. She is also both a TV news reporter and private eye. PJ is the kind of woman that once she is assigned and assignment she is determined to find out the answers and truth of what happened. A must read for anyone.

I have read other books by Seelie Kay, but I have to say this one is my favorite one so far. This is not your normal vampire book. The storyline is interesting and fun. There are some points that I had to go back and reread because I did not see the twist coming right at me. The characters are complex and interesting. The characters really bring the story to life. Donavan is a lawyer by day and a vampire by night. He has stumbled across a case in which someone is killing the lawyers. This is not a problem for Donavan as he is already dead. However, Donavan’s duo life is not public knowledge. The lawyer killer is out there but who will be the killer’s target since Donavan can not be killed? Can Donavan find the killer’s identity before it is too late? I highly recommend this story to find out the answers to these questions and more.

When an underwater angel saves Cade Malone from a car accident, he fears he won’t find her again. Years pass, but he’s still unable to erase her from his thoughts, so he vows that the next time they meet, he won’t let her slip away.
Under the moonlit sky, their paths cross, and the lines of demarcation blur as Nadia takes a chance at love even though a dark secret from her past could destroy their relationship.
Moonlit Mirage is a novella that can be read as a standalone, complete with an HEA.

High Heels And MistletoeHigh Heels And Mistletoe by C.A. King
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

If you are looking for fun laughs and some romance mixed with the joy of the Christmas Holiday, this book is for you. This story centers around Julietta and Luke who are complete opposites. She has an aversion to Christmas because of decades of a curse, while Luke spreads his holiday cheer for all everyone around. You don’t want to miss out on this read for the holiday season!

Rick: Ingram Brothers #3 by Roz Lee – Review by Kandy Garrett

Rick (Ingram Brothers #3)Rick by Roz Lee
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

There is nothing better than reading a book that plays out like real life. The way we perceive how others see us, the way we put our blind faith in others and trust openly and the way some crazy just appears out of nowhere and hit’s you in the face like a brick. This was such an excellent example of all of the things life puts in front of us. The characters are amazing. The landscape is perfect, that house sounds so quaint and I can see every room as it is described!

This was a decent book read out of order, I have not read the two preceding books about the other brothers and I had a decent idea of who they were and it didn’t give away too much for me to go back and read them. (I’m on it, promise)

Dreaming of Christmas: 5 complete, sweet holiday romances by Joanne Dannon – Review by Felicia Bates

Dreaming of Christmas: 5 Complete, Sweet Holiday Romances
Joanne Dannon
5 out of 5 stars

There are few things I enjoy more than getting cozy on my couch in front of the Christmas tree with a good book. Make that a book filled with the magic and love of the holiday season and I could stay there all night. Dreaming of Christmas is the perfect collection of sweet, heartwarming stories that will fill you with holiday cheer. My favorite thing about this collection is that while each story has their similarities and ties, they are each unique and enjoyable in their own right as well. I most enjoyed the Christmas Kiss stories. I am a total sucker for the fake relationship plot so Christmas Kiss: But only for the Holidays was definitely a favorite of mine. Christmas Kiss: New Year’s Wish was another absolute favorite as it was another theme that I can not get enough of.
I will say, the characters in all five stories were relatable and likeable, you wanted each to have absolute happiness. Joanne Dannon really put together a great holiday collection I would recommend to anyone that wanted to get into the spirit of Christmas, faith and happiness.

Life’s a Witch (New Orleans Nocturnes Book 3) by Carrie Pulkinen – Review by Nicole Noble

Life's a Witch (New Orleans Nocturnes, #3)Life’s a Witch by Carrie Pulkinen
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

2020 has been unreal. And if you’re anything like me, reading (which was already a passion) has become a wonderful escape. And you can definitely do this with Carrie Pulkine’s New Orleans Nocturne series. Light, funny with a touch of angst and a good romance, Ms. Pulkinen has quickly become a go-to author for me.

Life’s a Witch (New Orleans Nocturnes Book 3) is my latest read by this fun author and I was not disappointed. Now, keep in mind, all of Ms. Pulkinen’s books can be read as stand-alone reads but you will get oh so much more enjoyable if you read the books in order. One of the good things about doing this is that Ms. Pulkinen keeps the story moving through each book. There aren’t any “story gaps” between the books (which is AWESOME). You’ll be engaged in each story from the very beginning and pick up more and more details and nuances in each book, so yeah, read them ALL. But back to my review…

This is the 3rd book in this fabulous series and follows Crimson and Mike. And what a pair these two are! The sparks fly between these two from the get-go (and it’s not because Crimson had another spell go awry, lol). I fell in love with these 2 characters so much! I think they might be my favorite couple in this series so far. The shenanigans and circumstances that these two find themselves in are so crazy but hysterical. And the romance – WHEW!! Steamy but sweet! With the added benefit of the wonderful sub-characters and great story, this book was a true pleasure to read. I will definitely be picking up the next book in this series!
