Gianna
There’s a common expression I remind myself of every day: that which does not kill us, makes us stronger.
People think I live an idyllic life with my perfect husband, but they don’t know what lies beneath the façade.
Like the delicate petals of the daisies he loved to give, I was easily crushed—broken, just as he wanted me to be.
I’ve learned to accept what is, but I won’t let it destroy me.
Instead, I do the only thing I can to survive—I run.
Derek
I knew she had a story. I knew it most likely contained violence, but never did I imagine the horrors she’d been though.
I’d waited so long and she’d experienced so much. She was perfectly imperfect, her scars more than skin deep.
It was near impossible to separate truths from lies, but I knew her secret. Yet, I couldn’t help wanting to get closer. She was strong, and there was beauty in strength.
I was drawn to it—drawn to her.
I wanted to erase her horrors and give her something new to dream about.

This is a box set that includes The Sanctuary Chronicles 1-3 & a awesome novella.

Mellett is always a one click author for me. She never disappoints. And I never know how she is going to exceed my expectations and yet she always somehow does. This book – Grumbler – just wow. Dark, emotional, some very deep places – this book has a slower pace than other installments but it absolutely leaves you just a riveted and invested. I couldn’t walk away from this book before the last page was read. Amazing as always. Loved it.

Dreaming of ChristmasDreaming of Christmas by Joanne Dannon
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Dreaming of Christmas by Joanne Dannon was a really good read! This is a short collection of five different short Christmas stories, each one connected in some way with the next. The storylines of each one was similar, but also different in their own way, if that makes sense, with all of them being very good to read. My only complaint, was some of the stories had timelines that didn’t make sense. Time wasn’t established well, and events happened that didn’t make much sense in a time frame point of view. But I enjoyed all the characters in the various stories. They were very well written, and while they are romance stories, they are not explicit at all. Very sweet stories to read at this time of year!

No Rest for the Wicked (Life is Hell #1)No Rest for the Wicked by Naomi Valkyrie
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Ohhhhh this was a treat I didn’t know I needed! I have a penchant for dark romance, like I seek these books out like my life depends on it. This book is the perfect read for me in this sense and I devoured it quickly in one sitting because I just could not put this gem down. If you haven’t had a chance to read Naomi Valkyrie then this is the place to start for you, you will be hooked.

This book takes the demon and makes you absolutely fall in love with her. Delilah is a demon of course but she too needs a break. As she puts it even a demon needs some downtime! She is exactly like me and throws some of her belongings in a bag and hits the road, finding herself in a small sleepy little town that looks like a perfect place to relax and find some much needed peace. Of course things are not always what they seem and Delilah is thrust into a new mystery that will turn her world upside down! This is one you don’t want to miss if you love the dark romance, witty characters, and laughs to break up the suspense occasionally. I am so freaking excited to get my hands on the next installment in this series and see what will happen next! I need it like, yesterday lol.

I read the first one of this and loved it, so I had high expectations and it did not disappoint. I loved being back in this world with these characters. I loved Grumbler and Mary I really loved their relationship and connection. It just made me fall in love with them. I really enjoyed seeing all the extra characters and I love the fact they are fleshed out and they don’t feel like they’re just there they have a proper place and I love it. I really enjoyed this book and can’t wait to see what the author come up with next.

Grumbler’s Ride (Satan’s Devils MC San Diego #2) by Manda Mellett. I LOVE this series and this book was no different! Manda Mellett has become one of my absolute favorite authors!

When Alicia accepts a modeling gig Mary decides she better go with her because she doesn’t want her taken advantage of. Grumbler just happens to be asked to let someone take pictures of his bike and he’s so proud of her he delightfully accepts. When he shows up he meets Alicia and Mary and he’s not so delighted! But sparks do fly between he and Mary. He’s never been this interested in a woman before. During the photo shoot Grumbler keeps Alicia from getting in over her head and Mary if forever grateful. Will she let down her barriers and give Grumbler a shot? Read Grumbler’s Ride to find out!

I love Christmas romance movies. So when I saw this book and read the synopsis I knew I had to read it! Julietta is cursed, every time she comes near a mistletoe something bad happens. Such as breaking a high heel. C.A. King is a wonderful author. She makes you want to know if the curse will break or if this Christmas romance going to end. This story is filled with laughs, magic, and the warm, fuzzy feelings you get when watching a Christmas Hallmark movie. Honestly, this book should be made into a movie!!!

Manda is back at it again with another amazing addition to the Satan’s Devils MC! This book is a little slower placed than most of Manda’s other books but it is just as fantastic! Grumbler’s Ride, just like many of Manda’s other books, is an emotional roller coaster that will keep you hooked from the first page to the last. This book does address some triggering topics, although they do add to the story and explains certain characters actions. I definitely recommend diving into the world that Manda has created, they’re an amazing author and definitely know just how to keep you reading, even if it’s 2 am!

Oh I loved this set of Christmas novellas; they were all so lovely and heart-warming to read. Absolutely perfect for curling up with on a cold night! Each story had wonderful main characters that I fell in love with straight away. They were all really well written and perfect for just grabbing as they are so easy to get into. I loved that I could just put it down and pick up again and start a new novella. Although they were novellas they were all crammed full of story, romance, fun times and more! I definitely recommend this book and I look forward to reading more from this author again in the future.

The Sanctuary Chronicles Box Set - Book 1-3 + NovellaThe Sanctuary Chronicles Box Set – Book 1-3 + Novella by India Kells
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Please see the individual books for a full review.

This boxset of the first three books in the Sanctuary Chronicles and a bonus novella where the lives of three childhood friends Valeria, Sera and Violet are full of magic, but there are both seen and unseen dangers around them as dark magic threatens their lives. They each have their hopes and fears and as each has to face them, they discover that it is not only witches who are around, werewolves, vampires abound and the only place which is safe for them all is Sanctuary, but is it even safe there?

Book one, Broken Magic sees Valeria struggling to come to terms with the magic she has known all of her life breaking and becoming destructive after being cursed while on a hunt, but the werewolf who swears that at the same time, she killed his sister, what the future holds is the one question which they cannot predict.

Book two, Blind Magic follows Sera as her worst fears come to pass and she loses her sight completely, but the past she was trying to leave behind is insisting on following her when dark magic threatens to take her away from her beloved books and research and the only one who can help her doesn’t even want to be in the same room as her, but will Sera be able to overcome her past to assure her future?

Book three, Dead Magic follows Violet, a witch with flaming red hair and a fiery attitude to match and Finn, one of the oldest vampires around. As Finn makes the decision to end his long life, fall into oblivion and end the loneliness which surrounds him, he hears a distressed call from Violet a pull to help her which he can’t resist, but when this threat to her life is from dark magic, Finn needs to decide whether to give in to the temptation this witch holds for him, or leave it all behind for oblivion. Will darkness or light triumph over this unlikely pairing or is life or death the final outcome?

The novella Hidden Magic is the story of Kat and Brant, a human and a shifter who’s secret relationship is anything but ordinary, between him being a werelynx and her having telepathic powers, there is always magic in the air, but as christmas approaches and love is in the air, is the darkness from Kat’s path about to catch up to her, or will christmas be the time of magic and celebration it is meant to be?

Grumbler's Ride (Satan's Devils MC San Diego #2)Grumbler’s Ride by Manda Mellett
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Grumbler’s Ride is another twisted story in Mellett’s MC series. What starts out as a simple photo shoot with Grumbler’s motorcycle turns beyond creepy, beyond troubling, and if possible, beyond evil. Grumbler’s ride gets him into a world of trouble. At first it just seems like a shady photographer. But what he discovers is so much more. However, as much evil as he unearths, he also meets Mary and her teenage daughter Alicia.

I love the fact that this story features an older couple, as did Being Lost, book 1 in this series. 50 and 60 is the new 30 and 40 right!?! This story was easy to read in that the words and plot flowed well. I like how the story ends except: what happens with Mary??!!! I need answers so I really hope Mellett is writing!! I also like how there are enough characters for this series to keep going. Mellett gives just enough details of the other characters so you won’t know whose story could be next. Definitely looking forward to the next one.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Vampire State (Vampire State Book 1) by Alexander Charalambides is an original paranormal story and a unique portrayal of vampires. The story is a little slow going at times and heavy as it is steeped in politics, is multilayered and is complex, but the plot is engaging. Charalambides does a good job with world building, and character development. They are complex but relatable. There are some twists and turns that keep you turning the pages and capture your attention.

This author continues to show how much of an incredible writer she is! Having read this authors books before you think you know what to expect but each time she takes you along on an unexpected journey of twists and turns, action, adventure, drama, danger. She gives us paranormal and fantasy to the highest level and I absolutely love being captivated and drawn into her reads each and every time. This is a fast-paced, action-packed read that has you connecting to the main characters easily and love following their journey. Delilah has got to be the best lead female I have read in a while, I love how she is as a person, I love her attitude and her personality and I wanted more! I loved this read, it captivated me from the very beginning and didn’t want it to end!

Five Stars

I cannot express enough how much I enjoy Manda Mellett stories. Every MC book I have read from her has left me excited for more. This story is no different. There’s just something refreshing about an older man. Like they’ve already been done the road and don’t have time for games. Grumbler is the type of guy I could see myself with if I was in that age group. Shoot if he came to me while I was 31 I would probably give it a go lol. I really liked how he stood up for Alicia. He care when he had no reason to. Put himself and the club out there to protect her. I really liked Mary. Even though she had her judgment about the club girls it didn’t stop her from listening to them and showing them respect. Overall the whole story was really good. The author wrote another good book where we see a man set in his ways but changes for the right woman. I couldn’t believe how fast I read the story that I went in for seconds. I love how Grumbler’s bike is described. I could really see myself riding the back of it. I say take a leap and enjoy a story about a sexy older man.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Grumbler’s Ride is the second book in the San Diego Chapter of Manda Mellett’s Satan’s Devils MC series. It focuses on Grumbler, an older member of the MC, who gets roped into doing a photoshoot (or, rather, letting his bike be used in a photoshoot) and ends up tangled up in problems much bigger than the gentle teasing he anticipated.
This is a fantastic series. Each book, including this one, can be read as a standalone. In this book, we have Mary and Alicia who are new to the Satan’s Devils’ way of life and so we get to discover things anew through their eyes – perfect for readers who are new to the series as well as established fans.
I’ve lost count of how many of the Satan’s Devils MC books I’ve read (no wait, I can check – it’s 8 not including this one!). By now, many of the characters and settings, across the different chapters, feel very familiar. It’s like catching up with some old friends who have very exciting lives! I love that the series is expanding across America, giving me a chance to explore new places from the comfort of my sofa.
Like many of the books, this one addresses some difficult and sensitive issues. This is done openly and respectfully. The familiar, protective characters from the MC make it a good setting to address such issues without making the story too dark.
For me, this is a five-star read. This is a great series! I feel like I should recommend it to fans of romance and motorcycles but I don’t have a particular interest in either myself and have still found myself hooked so maybe just give it a go!

India Kells does it again. This box set has paranormal characters all over. There are three books and a novella that will fulfill your paranormal thirst. There are vampires, werewolves, and witches. India Kells has an imagination and storytelling ability that paints a picture so vivid that you feel like you are right in the middle of the book. Her characters are fully developed and complicated. They flow right off the pages and into your mind. If you are looking for a good box set to sit down to help take away the blues of 2020 look no further.

This is the kind of book that you just have to read in one sitting simply because you cannot put it down. The read this book in record time because it was such an exciting and enjoyable read. I really enjoyed how diverse the main characters were and how much it seemed to open up the story.
This author has quickly become one of my favourite authors and I wouldn’t hesitate to read one of her books. I don’t even bother to read the descriptions anymore as I know that no matter what the book is about I am going to get a well developed story that I cannot help but love. I am so excited to see what is next for this series and would highly recommend reading this book.

The Sanctuary Chronicles has to be my most favorite series from India Kells ever so when I saw it was being offered in this gorgeous boxed set I had to have it. These books are all worthy of five stars and it is a collection of ones I intend to read and reread for many many years to come. I also love that this is available in time for the holidays because some of my reader fan fam will be getting a set of these! I did include two of my reviews for my top two fav in the series below. These are books you do not want to miss out on!

BLIND MAGIC – Book #2:
Blind Magic is the second book in The Sanctuary Chronicles from India Kells. I have not had the pleasure of reading the first book, Broken Magic, although now I will be running to do so. It didn’t really affect my ability to enjoy this one though. Kells was a doll and gave us a pretty detailed prologue to catch us up for this one thankfully. This was just that amazing that I have to get my hands on the first as well. I normally don’t pick up books that fall into this ‘category’ but let’s be honest, look at that cover! Yummy, and eye catching. I had to know what was behind it. I am so glad I dived in blind.

In Blind Magic we get quite the story. I must say there was not a single moment that I was bored, and actually several hours that I was the do not approach the reading mom/wife or you may die type. Can you really describe a dark and twisty suspenseful book as beautiful and magical? I think this book qualifies for that, and really can’t come up with a better way to sum it up.

Sera Dover is one heck of a woman. Strong, independent and resourceful, oh and she is one heck of a witch. She will stop at nothing to protect those that she loves and cares about. She will face whatever danger comes her way too. Then there is Ian Macon, the damaged and gorgeous werewolf. He is instantly drawn to Sera. Her light and peace is something his shattered soul seeks out. These two have a connection that will set your kindle screens on fire, and give you a need for a tall glass of water, maybe even a fan or two, if you get my drift.

Of course, there is always danger lurking around the corner in all the great suspenseful novels. What is to come for them now and in the future? For that you must dive into this amazing five-star read for yourself, for I cannot bear to give away any more than I already have! Happy reading!

DEAD MAGIC- Book #3:
I was so stoked to get my hands on this book, Dead Magic, the third in The Sanctuary Chronicles from India Kells. This has to be one of my favorite series of hers and they are jammed full with action, adventure, magic, mystery, lore, and steamy fun to balance it all out. I could not wait to get the story of Violet and Finn with this one and they did not disappoint. Another side note about this series is the covers, like they literally grab you without even saying a word. I wouldn’t even need a title on these to know they have to be full of some amazing story lines. This one may be my fav because of the purple undertones but it is drool worthy and definitely worth mentioning. I would highly recommend also that you read the first two books before this one. While it can be read as a stand alone novel I feel that these are better read in order so you get that slow and inevitable build up of excitement with each new one you read. This one has my favorite pairing, a sexy vampire, and a fierce witch. These two don’t want what fate is throwing their way. Will they be able to find the common ground and manage a relationship? That is about all I felt safe sharing the rest is only good when read by your own eyes. I can’t wait to see what will come next!

At Last (Adams Brothers, #1)At Last by Mindy McKinley
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I enjoyed this romance story. It is a well written story that has characters that are easily connectable and made the story realistic. I was pulled into this story right from the first page. It is a fast paced, engaging, entertaining story that was hard to put down. This is a story about family mystery that maybe better left in the past. Lula is a teacher that has always wanted to find her father. As her grandmother falls ill, will she lose the last chance she has at family and finding the one thing she wants? Dominic is also a teacher at the same high school who can have anyone he wants. Will once chance meeting change things for both of them? As Lula’s family mysteries are revealed will they hurt her chances with Dominic? What will fate have in store for these two? They made such great characters. They made the story easy to read and I enjoyed the chemistry between them. I highly recommend reading this book and find out what happens between them.

Dreaming of ChristmasDreaming of Christmas by Joanne Dannon
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This a book of five complete Christmas romance stories. Each story brings spirit and is written with a lot of heart and soul. They each inspire hope, faith and love that will stick with you. Each story takes a magical Christmas Kiss to a new level. They have characters that bring the story to life and made me feel as if I was right there with them. I had no problems connecting with them as they brought each story to life. These stories and characters warmed my heart and I found myself hoping that each couple would find their Christmas HEAs. My favorite was Christmas Kiss, A New Year’s Wish. This is a story of friendship turns relationship. Taylor has a crush on her best friend Luca. Will one kiss change everything for them? Can you keep something that just maybe wasn’t yours to start with? I highly recommend this book. It certainly made my afternoon warmer.

At Last (Adams Brothers, #1)At Last by Mindy McKinley
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Wow where to start with this story. It is full of romance, but also heartache and sadness. I loved this book. The characters are so well written that you can’t help but feel every emotion they are going through.

Lula has had a rough life. With her mum passing the only person left in her life is her nanna. With caring for her nanna and her job as a school teacher she doesn’t have time for romance and especially not with a guy like Dom Adams.

Dom Adams is also a teacher at the school where Lula works. He is the most handsome man ever and has woman falling all over him. However, he also has a reputation for breaking hearts and not wanting more that a weekend thing.
When Dom sees the woman behind the teacher he is amazed and drawn to her. He wants her and will stop at nothing to get her.

Will Lula give in to his charming ways? Will she end up getting her heartbroken by being another one of Dom’s weekend girls? Or will the connection they have be enough for him to change and commit?

Unwrapped
By Evelyn Sola
5 out of 5 stars

I loved reading the book Unwrapped by Evelyn Sola. It is a story that had me hooked from the very beginning. It is a romance book that is steamy, romantic, and will have you not wanting to put it down until the final page. He is handsome, charming, and her mother’s boss. She is strong, intelligent, independent, and feisty. There is an attraction between them that can’t be denied. What does their future hold? This story has amazing characters that the author makes come alive. There are moments that I was laughing and others that had the temperature in the room rising. I loved reading the bantering that goes back and forth between the two main characters. I grew to care about the two main characters with each chapter that I read. There are also other characters introduced that are wonderful to read about as well. Don’t miss out on a book that is exciting and entertaining to read. I highly recommend reading it.
