Amy’s Santa (Satan’s Devils MC Second Generation #1) by Manda Mellett – Review by Chantelle Smith

Amy's Santa (Satan's Devils MC Second Generation #1)Amy’s Santa by Manda Mellett
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Yes Yes Yes! I feel like I have been waiting ages to dive into another Manda Mellett read and when I got my hands on this read I didn’t want it to end! She has done it again and this time with a spin-off from the Satan’s Devils MC bringing us the Second generation! This book was brilliant from start to finish! While these books are part of a series they can be read as a stand-alone but believe me you won’t want to read them separately you will definitely regret not reading them all. This book has romance, passion, action, adventure & suspense, and it really will hold you captive and engaged right until the very end! It will have you smiling, have you mad and angry but more than not it will have you rooting for characters you have come to love!

I loved everything about this read. It brings you along on Amy’s journey as she faces many things. This book does include some trigger content for our characters but Manda Mellett always writes them in a respectful way. This book has a lot of emotions for us as the reader but also the journey Amy takes bring emotions with it.

I absolutely loved her relationship and connection to Drew a.k.a Wizard throughout the whole read, you could tell what they had was real even from when they were younger, they really were both made for each other and to see that relationship have its ups and downs was hard you just wished and hoped they would get a HEA.

I loved revisiting & reading about all the other characters from previous books, it tied it all together perfectly. Another thing I loved about this read was that it was written in dual POV’s I really seem to connect more with the story and the characters as it gives me a better insight into the characters an what they are really thinking and feeling! But ultimately it makes me love them more! I cant wait to see what else comes from this series and this author you will never be disappointed when reading a book by Manda Mellett!

Hidden Obsession (An Alliance Agency Novel #2)Hidden Obsession by India Kells
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Maddie Wade and India Kells have made a dynamic duo for Hidden Obsession. I recommend reading the Prequel and Knight Watch (Book 1). The characters are complex and complicated and the plot is engaging. It is a fast paced roller coaster ride from the first page to the last page. This story focuses on Cleo and Mason. Cleo is an office manager of the Alliance Agency. She is a strong female but there is a skeleton in her closet. . Mason is a security who has protected from the rich and famous to the royalties. Mason has fallen for Cleo and the feeling is mutual. When there is a stalker coming after Cleo, will Mason be able to protect Cleo? Will the skeleton be too much for Cleo to keep secret? I highly recommend this story to find out these answers and much more.

Whenever I see Via Mari has a new book, I need to read it because I know its a good book. Rule is no different. Mari takes a Italian family story and runs with it. The characters are engaging and personalities that just pop off the page. Katarina and Chase have a steaming relationship. They are trying to fulfill her father’s dream. Katarina has to remember when it comes to Italian family dynamics there are traditions and rules. Katarina is on a long road but maybe Chase will help her along the way. Katarina is a strong female character and I love watching her grow with the story. Will Katarina fulfill her father’s dream? Will Chase help protect Katarina? You will have to read the story to find out all the details of this story and more.

Hidden Obsession by India Kells and Maddie Wade is the second book in An Alliance Agency novel series. This can be read as a standalone but better enjoyed being read in order. This book features Cleo and Mason. Cleo has a stalker and Mason has been called in to protect her. The sparks are flying and it is more than romance and danger. This is a fairly quick read and kept me interested from beginning to end. I really enjoy book from these authors and it is great to see them team up again. I look forward to what is to come next from both of them.

Wow! The Alliance Agency Series by Maddie Wade and India Kells just keeps getting better and better. Hidden Obsession is Book 2 in the series (the third book if you add the prequel) and Maddie Wade and India Kells have totally blown me away with this book.
As with all books that both these authors have written, this book grabs you straight from the very first page and takes you on the most amazing journey before spitting you out at the end thinking WTF!! happened there.
This is the story of the Alliance Agency’s office manager Cleo Darwin and gorgeous British operative Mason Bentley. Both have been hiding their feeling towards each other for about a year but when Cleo’s life becomes threatened, Mason will do anything to save the woman he loves.
This story has some amazing twists and turns and I’d be shocked if anyone could see the outcome of this story coming. OMG I did not expect that outcome. This is an edge of your seat page turner. Amazing writing and storytelling from Maddie Wade and India Kells. No wonder both these ladies are high on my list of favourite authors. I honestly cannot wait to see what these ladies come up with next, either on their own or as more of this awesome series.

Amy’s Santa (Satan’s Devils MC Second Generation #1) by Manda Mellett – Review by Angela Hayes

Amy's Santa (Satan's Devils MC Second Generation #1)Amy’s Santa by Manda Mellett
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

 

Amy’s Santa is the first book in the new Satan’s Devils MC Second Generation series by Manda Mellett. As the title alludes, this is a second generation series- following the children of characters we’ve come to know and love in the previous series. And even though you could read this book as a standalone, I recommend reading the previous series first- as a lot of background information, character details, and relationships are revealed in those books and knowing all that information will put you in a better position to understand and appreciate this book.
This is an MC romance story, and as such it is full of protective bikers, secrets, violence, pain, angst, banter, comradery, action, drama, emotion, sizzle, danger, suspense, and more.
After having loved the previous series soooo much, I had some pretty high expectations for this book/series, and I was so curious about this story, and the direction it would take us. So I jumped on it as soon as I saw it appear on my recommended book feed. Ms. Mellett definitely doesn’t disappoint. If you have been following Ms. Mellett’s previous series, or if you love a great MC story, then you will definitely want to read this book!
In this book we get to catch up with some of our favourites from the previous series and see what’s been going on at Satan’s Devils MC in the time we had not been privy to. But this book is essentially Amy and Drew’s story. Amy has loved Drew for as long as she can remember- but life got in the way and they headed in separate directions. Amy has come home for Christmas, a little broken- and with secrets she’s trying desperately to keep from being found out. Will fate finally bring these two together? What happens when secrets are revealed?
As I have said before, and as expected from Ms. Mellett- this book had a great plot, with surprising developments to keep things really interesting. But, again, it’s the characters who really make this story good- and the book (and previous series) definitely wouldn’t be the same without the cleverly crafted and complex individuals who whisk us along on their journey- making you believe in them, invest in them, and cheer them on the whole way though.

Thank you, Ms. Mellett!

Hidden Obsession (An Alliance Agency Novel #2)Hidden Obsession by India Kells
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is a great story! Full of action! I couldn’t wait to read this story. These two are so cute together! I love how Mason knows what he wants and finally decided to go after it. Cleo has other ideas…..no dating coworkers. Until a stalker shows up for Cleo. Everything changes after that.

Cleo is a stubborn, sarcastic, out-going violet haired girls with a different past. Mason is a clean cut, suit wearing, polite former secret service bodyguard. Complete opposites but man they have some HEAT between them.

I loved hanging out with this group again. Seeing everyone and getting a refresher of what they all do and how they work alone but still get along so well.

The cover of the book…look at it, look at it closely. It completely shows how this couple is together. They are in tune completely and feel everything. I loved their interactions and love they have for each other.

I can’t wait for this next one in this series. This crew is becoming like family.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Found in the Lost (Special Forces: Operation Alpha) (The Leonidas Corporation Book 1) by Tarina Deaton is a great start to a new series.

Kinley is so excited about what she’s discovered and it comes through in the way she was written. Shane is a big alpha male trying to find his way in the civilian world.

I loved Kinley, she was smart and not afraid to show it. Unfortunately those smarts put a target on her back and people want the information she has. Thankfully she literally runs into Shane who takes it upon himself to take care of her, though he doesn’t understand why.

There was suspense, mystery and some pretty steamy moments. This was a bit different from the other books I have read by Ms. Deaton with there was a little more danger involved and I loved it. Looking forward to keeping up with this series.

Amy's Santa (Satan's Devils MC Second Generation #1)Amy’s Santa by Manda Mellett
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

AMY’S SANTA is book one of the new series “Satan’s Devils MC Second Generation”. it is my opinion that while this can be read as a stand-alone, it is important to read the preceding series’ in order because it relies heavily on relationships we’ve met in the previous series. I have read almost all of the books and had to pause a few times to remember different circumstances that were being referred to.

The story is well told and while it does include some extremely graphic scenes, they were well done and not overly gory. It is a classic MC romance with a bit of a twist that was super intriguing to read.

Amy and Drew are kids who are kind of products of their upbringing but each has made independent decisions on how they want to live their lives. Their story takes place 20 years from the prologue and I appreciated the maturity of each character. We get to revisit with characters we met in previous series and see how the club is growing and changing.

I hope that Dr. Hottie gets his own story because I found him very intriguing and would like to know his story.

These books can be read as stand-alone but believe me when I say you wouldn’t want to miss the build-up and back story in each one! You will never be disappointed with Phoebe Alexander’s writing, she continues to pull you in and hold you captive throughout.
These books are amazing, it was so good that I read it in one sitting! I was captivated, entranced and totally compelled reading it. It had romance & sexiness, it had emotions and secrets. Each book is fast-paced, and a captivating read that you can’t help but read them each in one sitting as you get so invested in the story and the characters that you can’t put it down.

These reads were written in the best way as we got each characters POV, It really helped us to get to know each of them, and what their real thoughts and feelings are.

Phoebe Alexander will and forever be a go-to author for me, she has an incredible way of gripping the reader from the start with her amazing characters and amazing storylines. I can honestly say you would never be disappointed picking up one of her reads, and I cant wait to see what else she can bring!

This is absolutely at this moment my favorite of this whole series. It was so full of edge of your seat reading and putting it down was completely impossible. Been in kind of a reading rut lately and was really looking forward to this book. First because I am in love with this new series these two amazing authors have joined together to create and second because these two amazing authors both always remind me why I love reading so much!

I highly recommend reading the Prequel and then book 1 to this series before reading this one just so you get the full impact of the Alliance Agency and all those that are involved. I’m thinking you could possibly read this as a standalone, but I can’t imagine getting out of it the same thing.

I love stalker stories, especially ones like this that have me trying to figure it out all the way through and of course always being wrong. This book has it all and Cleo and Mason were an awesome leading couple. The danger and the secrets and the OMG so Hot moments between these two..I just can’t LOL

I Loved It and absolutely as usual can not wait for more..These two authors joining together was a genius move!!

The Boxed Set of Spicetopia has 4 stories that I fell in love with. The stories include steamy scenes, wonderful storylines, and amazing characters. I enjoyed that the characters from the previous story were found in the next book. The author does a wonderful job of making them come alive and I grew to care about them with each chapter that I read. Their interactions and relationships pulled me in, and each story had me hooked from the beginning. It all starts with how Cy Sweet and Jolie Cox meet. Then there is Moon and Katja, Neve Romano and Enya Moore, and Micah Greene. These are four stories that pull you in and doesn’t let you go until the end of each one. I am hoping that there is a fifth book in the series. Don’t miss out on the romance, steam, and characters in this boxed set. I highly recommend reading them.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Found in the Lost is the first book in Tarina Deaton’s Leonidas Corporation series. I had read her Combat Heart series so I thought that I knew what to expect and she absolutely did live up to my expectations and gave us an action packed romantic read that pulls you in from page one with the suspicious man at the airport followed by an attempted attack by bandits….
It is a fast paced read that takes you the long forgotten Mayan ruins for a hunt for long lost treasures. It also gives us Kinley who is on her first archaeological dig and the former Navy SEAL Shane who happens to be wondering round in Guatemalan jungle and who happens to be in the right place right time or … wrong place right time … it gives us friendly banter, camaraderie and the deep bond that Shane has with his friends and team. So if you like suspenseful adventure stories with some romance peppered through it then this book is for you AND I promise you that you will finish it in one sitting! I wonder what comes OR who comes next …

I loved these two, she is strong in her own way but also not a run and hide type of heroine which I love . Shane was great and I really loved his friends too (i need to have their stories now).

I loved reading about the main two characters and grew to care about them with each chapter that I read. The story starts out at Christmas time when the main female character is going to The Satan’s Devils MC. This is an event that she has looked forward to every year but the current one. She doesn’t want the truth to come out as she fears many will be disappointed with her. She will be able to hide what has happened and pretend everything is fine, won’t she? She has a good friend who has been someone she has come to rely on. She can pretend everything is fine, can’t she? Read this story to find out. This is a book that had my emotions going up and down the entire time I was reading. There are heartbreaking moments and times that I was angry when I read situations that happened. This is a story that is dark in places and may contain triggers. Other times there were happy moments that make you smile.

The characters made the story feel realistic as if I was there with them. There is a secret but if revealed will the group take matters into their own hands?

I may be twenty-seven years old, yet every year going home for Christmas is something I eagerly look forward to. I can never wait to get back and see my dad, Heart, my stepmom and my younger brother and sisters, as well as the proxy cousins, uncles and aunts who I grew up with. The Satan’s Devils MC has been my family for all of my life.

This year, though, I’m dreading it, knowing there are so many people who’ll be disappointed in me if the truth comes out.

They’d know something was wrong if I didn’t go home.

They’ll know something’s wrong as I fear I won’t be able to hide it.

Xander’s been my rock since the night my world imploded. For three months he’s barely left my side, and he’s promised he won’t stop now. Maybe with him I can pretend everything is fine.

One thing for certain, I mustn’t let my MC family into my secret. If they knew what had happened, they’d blame me for certain. Worse, they’d want to take matters into their own hands.

I can do this. I can join in the celebrations and pretend that there’s nothing wrong. Can’t I?

Manda’s life’s always seemed a bit weird, starting with a childhood that even today she’s still trying to make sense of, then losing her parents in the late teens. Going from the tragic to the bizarre, who else could be unlucky enough to have had two car accidents, neither her fault, one involving a nun, and another involving a police woman?

There isn’t enough space to list everything that’s happened to Manda, or what she’s learned from it. But by using the rich fabric of her personal life, psychology degree, varied work experiences, and amazing characters she’s met, Manda is able to populate her books with believable in-depth characters and enjoys pitting them against situations which challenge them. Her books are full of suspense, twists and turns and the unexpected.

Manda lives in the beautiful countryside of Essex in the UK, the area’s claim to fame being the Wilkin’s Jam Factory at nearby Tiptree. She can usually find jars of jam which remind her of home wherever she goes. As well as writing books and reading, Manda loves walking her dogs and keeping fit. She lives with her husband of over 30 years, who, along with her son, is her greatest fan and supporter.

Manda is thankful that one of the more unusual, and at the time unpleasant, turns her life took, now enables her to spend her time writing. Confirming, in her view, every cloud has a silver lining.

Rule (The Larussio Legacy Book 1) by Via Mari – Review by Bobbi Wagner

Rule The Larussio Legacy (#1)Rule The Larussio Legacy by Via Mari
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is one of my favorite authors. I know that I am in for a steamy, suspenseful story that I won’t be able to put down. This one is no different. This story is in POV of four characters which made the story engaging. In this story Katrinia and Chase goes up against family to take over her father’s dream. I loved seeing Katrinia showing us how strong she really is. There is steam, action and suspense that left me turning pages fast. This is a must read and I highly recommend reading the previous books by this author.

5 out of 5 stars

The story Rule (The Larussio Legacy Book 1) by Via Mari is a romantic/suspense book. It is a story that pulls you in from the beginning and doesn’t let you go until the final page. I loved reading about the characters of Katarina and Chase. These two have an undeniable love for each other. There are romantic scenes between them that make the temperature in the room rise. You can feel the passion and desire that these two have for one another. Katarina finds herself trying to fulfill her father’s dream. She first will have to get her Italian family’s trust and agreement. Chase will do anything and spare no expense to keep Katarina safe and protected. What does the future hold for Katarina and Chase? Read this book to find out. This story also includes the characters of Serena and Giovanni. He finds a strong attraction to her. She holds a secret. He will protect Serena. Will they find themselves together? This book has danger, secrets, as well as twists and turns. Don’t miss out on the first book in this series. You will not be disappointed.

Via Mari was raised in both the United States and United Kingdom and travels extensively. As a child she spent uncountable hours traveling and always enjoyed reading to pass the time and this pattern has continued in her adult life.

In fact, you can still find her curled up in an overstuffed chair, when the wood fire is crackling and popping, reading a page-turning novel until the early hours of the morning, especially during the harsh winters of the Midwestern United States or engrossed in a book as she travels from place to place researching for her own novels, or attending conferences.

Via’s inspiration to publish stemmed from research as she began writing love scenes for her own novels. It became apparent there seemed to be a cultural divide between what people believed was normal or vanilla sexual behavior and that which people considered BDSM and she felt compelled enough to write about the differences, similarities, and extreme feelings and levels of trust individuals in dominant and submissive relationships must have, and the desires that are at the heart of these relationships.
