High Flyer (Verdant String)
By Michelle Diener
5 out of 5 stars

I loved reading the book High Flyer (Verdant String) by Michelle Diener. It is a wonderful science fiction novel that I found hard to put down once I started it. The story has action, danger, and romance. I loved the characters of Hana and Iver. Hana is a strong, intelligent, and independent woman. She loves her work and is always up for a challenge. She is not looking for a relationship. Iver feels that he has his position by default. The one thing that he wants in his life is Hana. Does Hana have an attraction to Iver too? What will happen when they are placed in a situation where they must keep on the run to survive? Read this book to find out. This is a story that takes off from the beginning and doesn’t stop until the final page. There is never a dull moment. Hana and Iver find themselves on the run. I grew to care about what happens to Hana and Iver with each chapter that I read. They are characters that I could root for their success against those who have a selfish agenda. The author does an amazing job of making both the storyline and the characters come to life. I felt like I was right there with them. Don’t miss out on a story that is exciting and entertaining to read. I highly recommend it.

Lucky at Love (Some guys just never give up) by Cynthia Hamilton – Review by Angela Hayes

Lucky at Love: Some Guys Just Never Give Up...Lucky at Love: Some Guys Just Never Give Up… by Cynthia Hamilton
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

 

 

“It’s a take on the notion of being addicted to love.” As soon as I saw Judith’s reaction, I knew I was out on a limb. I didn’t want to give her the impression this was to be a soppy, romantic, swept-off-one’s-feet piece. True, I did intend the story to be about love, or what passed for love in some people’s minds. But it was the downside of romance that I was really angling for. I wanted to explore the hypothesis that some people are actually obsessed with falling in love, literally hooked on the thrill of new romance. I cleared my throat and pressed on. ”

 

Lucky at Love: Some Guys Just Never Give Up… is another enthralling read by Cynthia Hamilton. I know I keep raving about Ms. Hamilton’s books and how much I love her writing- but I can’t help it, she really does know how to tell a captivating story and she never fails to impress me.
This is another book of hers that I really wasn’t sure about, going into it- I thought it would be a nice and easy read. So, I was really surprised, very early on, by just how fantastic it really was. I definitely didn’t expect to love it quite as much as I did- and I certainly didn’t expect to become so completely invested in the characters as the story progressed.
I really want to go on and on about all the elements of the story that I loved- but I think that by giving you those details might spoil the story for you. I think the blurb gives enough of an idea of what to expect but keeping enough back to make this a very intriguing read.
This seemingly simplistic story hides a more richly textured, character driven plot that explores so many notions such as human nature, connection, love, romance, emotion, and so much more.
A true Pearl of a story!

Thank you, Cynthia Hamilton!

Distant Heart Sounds by Kate MacInnis a starting four-star read. This was my first by this author, but I really hope it won’t be the last as I enjoyed the writing. I liked Morgan Cutler she was easy to like, with her great sense about her, world weary but fierce, not all will warm but I simply adored her. Watching her open and see life a new was very well done, it left me wondering and with a great feeling meaning I cant wait for more, there were just a couple of bits that dragged for me otherwise it would have been five-stars.

The three main characters, Priscilla, Phil, & Tobias, meet in a diner in Manhattan. Each of them have different life experiences and issues they are struggling with and this chance meeting starts their healing process. There were some parts that seem to take it slow, which make it a little hard to keep reading but it didn’t make me stop.

I have read several books by Ms. Hamilton. I love how she creates characters who are interesting, believeable, and hook you into the story because you can connect with them so well.

5 Stars

Finders Reapers is the fourth book in the New Orleans Nocturnes series by Carrie Pulkinen. As expected, this is another fantastic, fun, sexy, and humorous Paranormal Romance from Ms. Pulkinen. I have really been enjoying my time exploring the New Orleans Nocturnes “world”, with each new book adding more depth and dimension to the series as a whole.
Having met both Asher and Jasmine previously in the series, I was really excited to get my hands on their story. Hello! Grim Reaper and Necromancer story- I knew it was going to be brilliant the moment I began.
As I have said previously, this series just seems to get better with each new instalment- with Ms. Pulkinen upping the ante with each new release- delivering a captivating, original, sexy, fun, and humorous take on New Orleans’ paranormal life- and giving each book its own unique identity in the wonderful world she’s crafted.
This a paranormal romance done brilliantly- with fantasy, ghosts, secrets, magic, drama, intrigue, danger, the supernatural, paranormal activity, demons, suspense, emotion, pandemonium, different realms, mystery, adventure, action, and lots of humour- making for quite a touching, magical, mysterious and spellbinding ride.
When the Grim Reaper takes a break to regroup, all hell breaks loose- bringing mayhem and chaos in its wake. Asher’s job just got so much more complicated. But with one powerful, dangerous, and wily ghost keeping him from completing his mission, Asher is going to need some help if he’s to set things right before it’s all too late. A powerful necromancer is just what he needs- but adding Jasmine to the already combustible mix brings its own set of complications. Get set for the sparks to fly, in more ways than one!!!
I can’t wait for another New Orleans Nocturnes story- as I am definitely not ready to say goodbye yet, with so many more characters that I’d like to know more about.
Fantastic!!

Thank you, Ms. Pulkinen!

Swimming superstar, Sebastian DuMont, agrees to headline the reopening of the Poseidon’s Shore Health Club at a discounted fee, grateful for an excuse to visit his beloved hometown. However, he hadn’t expected to be tempted by the lovely Zenia, owner and operator of the fitness facility.

All of Zenia Andino’s dreams come true with swimming superstar, Sebastian DuMont, attending her gymnasium’s reopening. She’d idolized him as a teenager with his poster pinned to her bedroom wall, but meeting the hunky celebrity in person gives her heartbeat an excited new rhythm.

Before they can test the waters, Seb’s agent interferes and Zen’s fame-hungry sister alludes to an affair with the Olympian. Will Seb keep up the lie for continued fame and fortune? Or is it finally time to follow his heart and feed the special spark he felt with Zen before the opportunity extinguishes forever?

I’ll See You Again (Reigning Hearts, #4) by K.G. Fletcher was a great 5 star read.
I was pulled right in with this great story. My emotions were all over the place.

I was excited to get Nicky’s story. Nicky is a wedding planner and Mac (Reid) is a famous rockstar. When these two meet there are instant sparks and the chemistry comes right off the pages. Mac invites Nicky to New York for the band’s world tour kick off. When things take a twist
and Nicky finds herself in the headlines

Will the headlines cause Mac to leave Nicky or will Mac lose NIcky?

Overall I really enjoyed this read. We get some steamy moments and the bantering was great. All of the secondary characters were great, it was like a reunion with some of them. This book can be read as a stand alone. Rock star romance is one of my favorite genres, I really enjoyed this book and this series. If you’re looking for a great series 1-click and get started today..

Road Tripped (Satan's Devils MC Utah #1)Road Tripped by Manda Mellett
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This series just keeps getting better!

After Road’s competing days are over, he is in quite the funk. To get him out of, Drummer sends him on a mission to go check out the Utah chapter. Drummer feels that something isn’t right and he wants Road to investigate. While Road clears his head on the ride, he finds it all messed up again when things aren’t as they seem in Utah. While they appear as a normal (and that’s a relative term) Satan’s Devils MC at first glance…inside things are definitely different. He can’t get word to Drummer and he begins to wonder if he will even make it back home.

While this takes a different route in terms of storyline from the other books in the series…it is still amazing! There is so much going on and it had me wondering what was going to happen next. It is definitely not predictable…and I loved that! Once again, can’t wait to see where this series goes next!

I wasn’t sure entirely what to expect when I picked up Lucky in Love but I’ve truly come to love Cynthia Hamilton as a writer so I felt it was worth a chance. The book was longer than I anticipated but kept my attention well. It was easy to read and a nice story to relax with at night. What surprised me most about this novel was how much I came to like Jake. Going into the storyline I thought for sure he would be the character you love to hate! What was not as surprising was the fact that I can add this to the list of books I enjoyed by Cynthia Hamilton. If you haven’t checked out her writing yet, why not start here?

Secure Desire by R. L. Dunn is not your typical romance story. R. L. Dunn wrote characters that were believable and lovable. This story takes you on a journey with Chase and Cassie. Be prepared because it is a roller coaster ride but it is worth all the emotions that come along with the story. When you are a soldier like Chase and have some lingering feel about your tour in Afghanistan your everyday life seems so different. Chase came back to get in the security business with his brother and did not expect to run into his love interest, Cassie from 6 years ago. A lot has happened in the six-year in both of their lives. Will Chase be able to have a relationship after Afghanistan? Will Cassie want a relationship with Chase? Are there secrets that either one of them does not want them to surface?

Loved it. I was really looking forward to this next book in The protector series and it did not let me down. Watching the growing relationship between Luna and Rhys, is so heartwarming the forbidden “lovers” you see Luna is a part of the Protector community while Rhys is a Elemental, elementals and protectors are not supposed to fall in love. This whole series is a must read, a fantasy romance at its best. You’ll fall in love which each and every character and just keep wanting more. Another great read, well done Toya.

“Overhead the master of the night, a luminous globe of light, stood proudly with an army of knights adorned in twinkling armor stretching across the dark velvet sky. I’d count on their radiance to guide me.”

Wow. What an enchanting world Pippa J. Frost has created with House of Illusions. She’s not only got a way with words that made my prose loving heart happy, but she created such a beautiful world that I just wasn’t ready to leave when the end came.
The prologue had me hooked and by the time I was a few chapters in, I couldn’t stop devouring this adventure. There are so many enchanted creatures in this book, and Frost made it entirely believable that humans live alongside them. I so wish this had been a series instead of a stand-alone just to see more of the characters and magic. This is getting added to my re-read list so I can explore all the “Illusions” with eyes wide open.

P.S. I’ll gladly spearhead Team Lord Winslow forever and ever.

Shattered by Lisa Woods is the first book in the Rhodes Family series. This is a great start to this series as it introduces you to the family and to the authors way of writing. I enjoyed reading about the characters of Gabe and Olivia. You could tell they had a strong connection between them which drew me in to their story.
I liked the way the author wrote about them too. It didn’t feel like your typical romance story it actually felt like that was a deeper story happening. I became invested in the characters and I enjoyed the secondary characters introduced, especially those we might get to read about in future books.
This is overall a great book and a strong way to start a new series. I am looking forward to what else is to come.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I must say I am struggling a tad with exactly where or how I want to place this book on a star scale. I have never had the pleasure of reading anything R.L. Dunn prior to Secure Desire so I was completely new all of her writing style. Dunn has one hell of a knack for detailed writing. While I loved that most of the time I felt like I was right there with the characters and in the moment I could have done without some of it sometimes. It felt a tad heavy. Only because I wanted to get to the the point and found myself several times confused in the novel. There is immaculate research done clearly evident as well, but again, I don’t want to feel as if I am in the History Channel.

Bottom line, I adored the story for what it was, and found myself falling in love with Ian and Cassie quickly. I was invested in them from the get-go and was on the edge of my seat wondering how everything was going to turn out for them in the end. Which I must say was quite unpredictable as well! Another fantastic plus. I look forward to checking out more of the Chase Group Stories and whatever else is available or will be to come from R.L. Dunn.

I have never found a Cynthia Hamilton novel I didn’t thoroughly enjoy and Alligators in the Trees is no exception to the rule. I loved this one and the adventure it took me on to New York City. I wasn’t sure with a title like Alligators in the Trees what we would be getting but this was a deep, thought provoking read that drew me in right from the start until the very last page.

We meet Priscilla, the main connecting point of three main characters, and the seedy dive bar style coffee shop she works at in New York. She herself has a life she wishes could be better in a lot of ways but when Tobias and Phil walk into the shop things will take off in ways she never expected. Both Phil and Tobias have dark pasts that are currently haunting them and making it difficult to move forward in their lives. They will all have to work hard at their own lives to move forward and the journey is one you won’t want to miss out on following. I am also excited to hear there will be more of this novel in a sequel and I am so here for it.

Lisa Wood is a new author to me as well so I am excited to see what else she may have in store while waiting for the next book in this series.

This book sucks you in from the first chapter and I loved how the characters became so real. Olivia and Gabriel will make you wanna turn the fan off and pour a cold glass of water while you read the enticing story of how they find the futures they both so desire. I loved the push and pull these two had, it flowed well and wasn’t ever that too much or too unrealistic so I was invested and wanted these two to find a happily ever after. I most certainly cannot wait to get my hands on the next book in the Rhodes Family series and see who we will get to fall in love with there.

When I first read the blurb for this book it sounded like a book I would really enjoy, I love a Navy SEAL story, there is just something about these characters and overall I enjoyed what I read. I will say that it is a book that is quite complex in its storyline so I wouldn’t say it was an easy read, I did have to re-read the beginning so I could fully understand what was going on but once I settled into the story it picked up in my opinion. There were quite a few things going on so I think you have to be prepared to be able to concentrate on what you are reading, it isn’t a book you can easily dip in and out of. The characters were good, they were well thought out and planned and the authors writing was pretty detailed, there was a good mystery running through the story which definitely had me keep turning the pages to find out what was going to happen. I don’t think there was as much romance in the story as I anticipated but it was definitely a good mystery!
I would like to read more from this author again in the future.

The descriptive language and writing the author uses is one of the best I have ever read, I could imagine every little detail she was talking about. I loved Valentina, she was such a great character to read about and following her on her journey was great. There were so many wonderful twists and turns in the story it really was exciting to read and I couldn’t put it down at all. It was great to read something so different and although I love romance I’m not a huge fantasy fan but this book was just amazing!

The way the author wove them together and their stories was really great, I felt like I really got to know them throughout the story. They were all different characters but I really liked all of them and they were believable as people, for me this really helped me connect with them. I liked that the book was really character orientated, it was about them more so than a story – this made the book really enjoyable and different to read.

Secure Desire is one action – packed romantic suspense novel. It gives you everything from action, violence, twists and turns, and everything you would want in this genre! Ian Chase is an Ex Navy SEAL and now head the Chase Group which is a billion dollar security firm. Imagine to his surprise when his brief encounter with a very engaged art historian that he had six years prior suddenly pops back into her life. Cassiopeia Ellis is no longer engaged and even though she suffers from amnesia, she remembers meeting Ian all those years ago. This is a good thing but it also scares the crap out of her. He has appeared in her life when someone out there wants her dead. This book had me at the edge of my seat THE WHOLE TIME! It was such a thrilling ride and I can’t wait to dive into book 2!

Alligators in the Trees was a great story following three different people who work or frequent Frank’s Coffee Shop. All are unique characters and the plot is extraordinarily detailed, and so very interesting. Once I started reading I couldn’t put it down until the end. I enjoyed meeting and following Tobias, Philip and Priscilla through their problems, decision making and life changing processes as they find a way to love their lives again. This story was a truly enjoyable adventure. Cynthia Hamilton did a great job with this book and I look forward to reading more books by her in the future.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

When one night imprints in your mind and has never really forget it, but when a chance meeting with the same person stirs up those feelings again, do you go for it?

Ian is a ex-navy seal who has embarked on new horizons with new businesses, but when he meets a blast from his past, will he give love a chance or stay well away.

Cassie is trying to rebuild her life, after an attack she has been left with amnesia, until Ian comes into her life she remembers some of their history but this causes her to have anxiety of what will happen next.

This is the first book in this series and I thoroughly enjoyed the aspects of mystery, intrigue and interlaced with romance. The book held my attention throughout and was eager to race through to get the end on who was after Cassie and the reason. Cassie and Ian’s characters where well developed and the chemistry came through the story.

The story itself was well written and weaved through the suspense and mystery well. I really enjoyed the fresh plot as some of these ex military can be the same but this was a great twist on this genre. I definitely recommend this story and can’t wait to read the next installment.

Finders Reapers: A Paranormal Romantic Comedy (New Orleans Nocturnes Book 4) by Carrie Pulkinen is a delightful paranormal romance story that is full of magic and ghosts, fun and humour, passion and angst, heartache and angst, chaos and disorder. The witty banter between the characters had me laughing out loud. Carrie has a knack for bringing her unusual bunch of characters to life in her action-packed tales, that they feel like friends and this one is no different. The romance sizzles off the page and makes for a nice enjoyable afternoon read. Bring wine!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Shattered is probably one of my favorite books I’ve read in the last few months. I absolutely love when a guy is so crazy over a girl in a book and it is so out of character for them.
This book gave the reader everything they could ever want. There was the the playboy who can have any girl he wants, then there’s initial attraction with someone there shouldn’t be.
I loved the characters and the storyline had me hooked from the very beginning.
Everyone has secrets. Olivia has had a rough time leading up to her arrival in NYC. Her and Gabe meet at an interview for a job where he will essentially be her boss. He has a few secrets that everyone tells him to tell Olivia about but ofcourse he doesn’t. What will happen when the truth comes out. Will she be able to forgive me? Will he even have a chance to tell her why he did what he did? Such a great read. Loved it and cannot wait for more!
