Sons of SindicatoSons of Sindicato by Sonya Jesus & Cam Johns
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Sons of Sindicato by Sonya Jesus and Cam Johns is what I would consider a dark romance.

Seth and Braelynn are doomed from the start. An attorney and a crime lord just aren’t meant to be, right? With the law coming at her, and the mafia less than happy about the relationship, what can Braelynn do? Is she safe anywhere?

Suspense, mystery and love can all be found in this novella. I can’t wait to read more!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Chased, by Felicity Brandon, is the first book in the Cambridge Men of Honour Series. This is definitely an adult read.

Good vs. Evil has been the fight of a lifetime. When Allegra meets with Chase, it’s nothing short of opposites attract. They are both dominant figures, and will fight for what they believe in. However, with the intense romance blossoming, will Allegra be able to stand her ground? Will Chase take over?

Sexy Drug (Losing My Heart #1)Sexy Drug by Melody Calder
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book is fire! Straight from the very first chapter I was sucked in and held until that last page that I wanted to come because I needed to know how things would come to a close, but at the same time I dreaded so much so. I loved this read and was so enamored. I could not get this book out of my head long after I had finished it. This brought the best of both worlds for me with the slow burn romance and the dark underworld of the mafia too. I won’t divulge all the details or anymore than the blurb does because I feel that would give away too much and ruin the experience for readers. This is one you won’t want to miss and you will have to take my world for it. I will definitely be back for more in this series as soon as it is available! Melody Calder was a new author to me when I picked up this gem but I was pleased with my experience so much I have since gone and one-clicked some of her other works to devour in the very near future as well!

Elusive (Billionaire Bodyguards #5)Elusive by Via Mari
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

In the fifth instalment of the Billionaire Bodyguards, we follow Alexis and Sheldon, their romance and the danger that follows. The dynamic between these two is electric and is a bit of a struggle as well, for both of them. They’ll have to compromise and grow together to be able to beat the trafficker! This book is filled with romance, steamy scenes and danger. It was my first read of Via Mari and was enjoyable. Definitely fast paced, light beach read. I was so engrossed that I read it in one sitting! I needed to know the outcome! I bet people who love the other books in this series will be pleased with this one as well.

Eye of the Storm (A Gray Ghost Novel, book 2) AUDIO BOOK by Amy McKinley – Review by Meg Tyrrell

/0 Comments/in /by

This is one of my favorite authors and I couldn’t wait to listen to this one. Broken Circle (book 1) was actually the first book by Amy McKinley I’d ever read and loved it. This one did not disappoint. The narrator does a fantastic job and really keeps the story where it should be. One of my favorite series by far and can’t wait for the next installment. This one focused on Chris Shaw and the situations he faces on a mission. We get introduced to Mari Dias who is the love interest in this book. Perfectly done!

This is not my first book by this author but it is one of my favorites. This is a great bad boy romance story that is the first installment of the series. What a great start for sure. This is a well written story that has characters that give the story life on every page. They made the story feel realistic and certainly brought the twists and turns to a new level. This is a story about Chase. He makes his pleasure by making others suffer and no one says no to him. Until now, until her. She won’t bend to his will, what will he do and what will fate have in store for them? I enjoyed the growth in this book and the chemistry between the MCs. I truly enjoyed what they brought to the story. I highly recommend this book.

Chased (A Cambridge Men of Honour Novel Book One): A Dark Mafia Bad Boy Romance (Cambridge men of Honour – Dark Mafia Tomances I) by Felicity Brandon is a dark and gripping tale of opposites colliding in the most unexpected way. For me this whole book was about it the characters and their chemistry. It was absolutely palpable right from the word go. Although Allegra did everything she could to fight it, it was just too strong to deny. This connection is what pulled me in and kept the pages turning.
This is a fantastic book and I am already looking forward to the next in the series.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is the fifth and final book in the 21st Century Courtesan series and what an ending.I don’t want to say too much for risk of giving the story away. However I would recommend reading the books in order so you can fully appreciate the story and the characters. This book is full of so many twists and turns and a few heart stopping moments as well.

After Evie ended up injured in the last book this one carries on from there. The mystery  continues. Who is out to get Evie and why?

With her new boyfriend Easton on the case and her deceased husband’s spirit guiding her the answers all begin to reveal themselves in a way I didn’t expect to happen.

Will Evie and Easton finally get their happily ever after or will the devoted fan get their way and take it all for themself.

Eye of the Storm Audio Book by Amy McKinley is the second book in the Gray Ghost series. After listening to book one I could not wait to jump straight into this audio book. I was so pleased to hear that it was the same narrator as book one and I found myself drawn straight back into her easy story telling. Again I loved how distinct each of the characters were and how easy it was to visualise everything – even easier than it was when I was reading the series. It is such and exciting book. I had forgotten just how much I enjoyed Chris and Mark’s story. For me they were a couple that worked right from the start and I was behind them all the way. This is a fantastic book and I thoroughly enjoyed listening to it.

It Broken Circle Audio Book by Amy McKinley is the first book in the Gray Ghost series. This is an absolutely thrilling story that really throws you right into the middle of it.  Even though I had read the book previously when I was listening to this it was like I was experiencing it for the first time all over again. I almost forgot what had happened as I got lost in the narration of the book. It felt exciting to listen to this book and I thought the narrator did a great job. It was clear who each character was and I found picture then so vividly. I found myself relating a little more to Alex while listening to this book, more so than when I read it. This book is just as good to listen to as it was to read and I cannot wait to listen to the rest of the series!!

AMAZING!

This was the first book I’ve read by Sonya Jesus and Cam John. It certainly will not be the last. This story was a whirl wind of murder, mafia, love, and family. The story centers around a beautiful love between Braelynn Shaw and Seth Giordano. Shaw showed that she is not one to be messed with. The strong and powerful lawyer that can protect herself. What more could you want? Oh yeah! Add in a sexy, alpha, protector Seth then you have a force that can shake the world. It had me on the edge of my seat the entire time and I cannot wait till the next book!

Eye of the Storm (A Gray Ghost Novel, book 2) AUDIO BOOK by Amy McKinley – Review by Mrs R

/0 Comments/in , /by

I really enjoyed this story. It was action packed from beginning to end and really kept me hooked.

Mari has escaped her old life and is trying to get to the US. She has been betrayed and ends up near guerrilla territory, but is then helped escape again on the understanding that she looks after Chris, who has amnesia. So she looks after him to help ensure her safety, hoping that they can escape before his memory returns.

I liked Mari as a character, she was brave and competent in looking after herself, certainly not someone who would normally need rescuing. Chris has to rely on Mari but desperately wants his memory back.

The slow build to their relationship happens with a drip feed of Mari’s past and Chris’s memory returning, I certainly added to the suspense.

I enjoyed the tie-in to the previous book, although this one can certainly be read as a standalone.

The narrator, Regan Brown, does an excellent job and I loved Mari’s accent, it definitely helped with defining the characters. I would absolutely listen to more of her narration.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Elusive by Via Mari, the 5th book in the Billionaire Bodyguards series, is another wonderful page turner from start to finish from this amazing author.

This story introduces us to Sheldon, huge, hot and oh so dominant, and Beautiful, Sweet submissive Alexis, a young woman hiding her needs because of pain from her past. It all starts easily enough, Sheldon steps in when Alexis needs help with unwanted attention from a creep at a coffee shop. Little did he know that encounter would turn into so much more for both of them or that the creep would be so much more then simply a jerk who doesn’t know how to accept the word NO!

I was hooked on every step of their journey and on the edge of my seat for the entire book. I just couldn’t put it down. Do yourself a huge favour and read this book today! ok actually grab the whole series and get reading!!!!

I was sucked into the story immediately. Drama, tension, drug cartel, and a daughter caught up in being a pawn among all the secrets. Can Ramone whose job is to keep Katie safe after being shot save her from a life that she has no control over? Katie suffers PTSD and anxiety attacks after being shot, can Ramone help her become the strong woman that her father expects? It is the only way to keep them both safe from her father, a drug boss. The book ends without satisfying all my questions. I can’t wait for the next in the series.

I give Sexy Drug (Losing My Heart Book 1) by Melody Calder 5 out of 5 stars. This book hits the ground running and is a page-turner for sure! When spoiled daughter Katie is under attack, her father puts Ramone in charge of keeping her safe with one very important rule – keep your hands off! Ramone and Katie butt heads, so he thinks this will be no problem…boy, is he wrong! It’s not hard to get wrapped up in the lives of Katie and Ramone and these two are characters you will love to root for. The pace of this story keeps your attention and is well-written. The best part? It’s book 1 of the Losing My Heart series, so there is definitely more romance and action to come! Highly recommend this author and this book.

Although I was not a fan of some of the scenes within the novel, I have got to admit that Felicity does have a way with words and is a creative storyteller. I was escorted out of my comfort zone and invited to take a ride on the literary wild side. That is the beauty of story writing – although the reader and the author may have opposing views- the author is enticing, alluring, and engaging enough to capture and maintain the readers’ attention and interest; Felicity did just that. A short, spicy, and delectable read.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Sexy Drug by Melody Calder is the first book in the Losing My Heart Series. Identity is important, portrayal even more so. Kate finds this out as she learns everyone isn’t always who they seem on the outside.

Katie’s dad is a ruthless and cruel man. She can only assume her new body guard, Ramone, is the same. An instant dislike is apparent between the two. However, when you spend all of your time with someone, you get to know them on a deeper level.

Can first impressions be put aside for these two to work together, or is it a disaster from the start? If they can’t work it out, who suffers?

I wasn’t sure what to expect with the title and the Hucows, but I was pleasantly surprised. I have read other books from the author so I knew that I would most likely enjoy it.

MiSix Mathilda and her partner get an assignment where they have to go undercover to find Lady Annabelle. This brings them into the Hucow world and some very interesting things. They have to find out if Annabelle is there on her own free will or if she is a captive. The things that they encountered were very interesting to say the least.

Will they be able to save Lady Annabelle? Does she want to be saved?

You definitely have to keep a very open mind while reading this book. The author does a great job with her writing and pulls you right in. You get mystery, crime, dom/sub type romance and so much more. I really enjoyed the characters as well. This book will leave you looking at cows in a totally different way and with living in a rural area I see them on a daily basis, LOL. 1-click and get started today on this new series. I look forward to reading more from this author.

Another fantastic book by this amazing author. This might be my favorite, although I think I say that after almost every one of them. I love a strong alpha male character as well as a strong, stubborn female and this one had both in spades.

I actually found myself laughing at times with the interaction between these two. I loved it. I especially loved the ongoing suspense and edge of my seat reading. I read this in one sitting because I simply could not put it down. There were quite a few steamy scenes and I did skim through some of those as I was too interested in the story itself to take time out for those.

This author is simply amazing, every book is as good if not better than the last. I highly recommend looking her up and reading all of the books in the multiple series they are all associated with. Her characters pull you in and really make you feel like you’re right there.

Loved It!!!

Love has this way of finding us in the most unexpected places and in the strangest times.
Eye of the Storm is an excellent example of this.
Amy McKinley blew me away yet again with her amazing talent at world building and storytelling. Who would have thought that a soldier with amnesia and a woman on the run could have so much chemistry.
Some of the parts in the book were a bit out of the realm of possibility BUT that’s why it’s fiction, and it doesn’t take away from the story. It works
This is the second book of the series but can be read completely as a standalone.
Regan Brown is an excellent narrator and this book proves it yet again.
Excellent, action packed listen.

Bovine Tricks (Royals Gone Rogue Book 1) by Seelie Kay is a trip! It was so much fun to read. Author Seelie Kay has done an amazing job bringing this story to life and making it believable. Special Agent Mathilda’s job is to find the missing Lady Trask for the Queen. She’s already made a mess of things, so this operation will either redeem her or undo her career. Along the way, she and her partner, Abdul, reveal a terrorist plot and the adventure twists and turns its way to the end. If you like romance stories with a bit of a shock factor, this is a fun read. Bovine Tricks is definitely a unique escape, and I recommend it with four stars. Luckily, this is the first book in the Royals Gone Rogue Series, so there will be more adventure to come!

This is my second book by Sonya Jesus and my first book by Cam Johns. Sons of Sindicato has romance, murder, suspense, and so much more. For only 108 pages, it packs one heck of a punch. Braelynn is a strong female character, wish sass, that holds her own against it seems just about anybody. Seth is the kind of man you want by your side, strong, masculine, and a protector. These two can be an absolute powerhouse and I can’t wait to see what they do next. The secondary characters, bring a family feel, and as an Italian woman myself I was riveted by the pages. If you like romantic suspense, with some mayhem and murder, you will love this book.

Bovine Tricks follows the story of two MISix agents tasked with discovering the whereabouts of a missing royal, who has been sucked into the seedy world of Hucows. These women are trained to act like cows, are traded and bred, milked and impregnated, and surgically altered to seem more like their bovine counterparts. The two agents go undercover to determine if their royal charge is engaging in the submissive behaviour willingly, or if she has been sold into the trade, and drugged or otherwise psychologically damaged to accept this behaviour. The writing is intense and very descriptive; I was able to picture the auction scene in vivid detail. Sights sounds and smells were all written compellingly.

While I can appreciate the unique storyline, this theme wasn’t for me. Perhaps one of her other novels would be something I enjoy more, as she seems to be a prolific authour with a diverse set of works. If you are interested in crime, espionage, sexual trafficking rings, and don’t mind fuzzy lines in sub/dom romances, you might just enjoy this quick read.

Sexy Drug is the first book in the Losing My Heart series by Melody Calder.
I was so upset when I went to the next page, just to realize it was over.
I found myself entranced in this story, I wasn’t ready for it to end.… I needed more.

Katie is the daughter of a dangerous drug lord and can have anything and everything she wants. Ramone is one of the Bosses trusted men.
They can’t stand each other. He sees a spoiled brat and she sees a ruthless man like her father. When Ramone gets put in charge of her safety and is forced to be with her 24/7, sparks will fly.
Will they be able to look past each other’s flaws and be friends?
Or will the demand of what is expected of them be too much?

It seems like everyone has secrets and no one can be trusted.

My heart goes out to Katie and all that she is going through.
I am appalled by her father and everything he is doing and I hope that he’s not going to get away with it.

I am so ready to see what happens next!
This is a great start to a series that is sure to be one of my favorites!

There is no doubt this book is very different and interesting at the same time. Trying to visualize what a truly “Hucow”would be, I liked that the author did explain what a Hucow was. This story was unique, very different and entertaining for sure. Characters Abdul and Tillie were hired to find Lady Annabelle Trask and having the story that being abducted and possibly being thrown in to this fantasy world to be changed into an animal, this story has twists, turns and is pure entertainment.
