Obedience: Ties That Bind, Book 1 AUDIO by Liza Snow

4.5 out of 5 Stars

This was definitely a fun one. I really enjoyed the story from the start and was very pleased with the direction it took. I expected something totally different but I’m glad I was wrong because now I can’t imagine it any other way. I loved how we are able to get the point of view of both, Cassandra and Chandler. I really enjoyed listening to Chandler’s voice when listening to the audiobook. I also like the fact that both characters are adults. Their age difference doesn’t feel weird because they are both in a time of their life when they can make the decision to be together without being creepy. I was unable to stop listening and finished it faster than any other audiobook. I was a little upset to be left in a little bit of a cliffhanger and can’t wait for the next part of their story but that’s maybe just me since I’m so impatient. Highly recommend!

Consigliere's Revenge (Sicilian Gods Book 3)Consigliere’s Revenge by Via Mari
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

 

5 Stars

 

Consigliere’s Revenge is the third thrilling book in the Sicilian Gods series by Via Mari. This instalment of the fantastic dark mafia series is a gripping romantic suspense with an enemies-to-lovers element, tension, secrets, action, forced proximity, rivalry, challenges, investigation, danger, intensity, passion, chemistry, sizzle, mafia politics, family, loyalty, agendas, emotion, twists and turns, angst, violence, revenge, threats, and high stakes.
Izzy has a nose for a great story, but this time she may have stepped into the lion’s den and captured the attention of a dangerous beast with dark secrets he needs to keep buried. Lorenzo is the consigliere of the Larussio Crime Family and will do what ever it takes to protect his family. Get set, because the sparks are about to fly….What happens makes for quite an intense and riveting read.
This is the third book in the series and although you could read it as a standalone if you wanted without feeling lost or confused as each book focuses on a different ‘couple, who have their own story to tell, there are recurring characters and other relevant details that I think you would want to know leading into this book/series. So, I highly recommend reading the first two books before starting on this one, as knowing what has happened previously will definitely enhance your reading experience of this third instalment, as well as the series, as a whole.
As I have mentioned many times now, I have read all of Via Mari’s book and have loved every single one of them. This talented author never fails to deliver a sexy and enticing read that grabs me and keeps me glued to the pages as all the gritty, raw, and intriguing developments unfold. I always go into her books with extremely high expectations, and she has never let me down!
Can’t wait for more!
Happy Reading…

Thank you, Via Mari!

The Innovator (WaterFyre Rising Book 3) by Nadia Han – Review by Jessica Stone

“The Innovater”, is book 3 of the WaterFyre Rising series and like this novels two predecessors, the author Nadia Han, knocked this one out of the ball park.

Natalie LaRue has recently moved to the states and taken a job way under her normal pay grade l in hopes of solving a mystery surrounding a property that her father purchased before his recent death.
Grayson Wu is a top notch architect just trying to get a project of his off the ground and running but is having a hard time getting his hands on the means to. All the while dealing with his Uncle betraying his family in the worst possibly way and trying to heal his heart from the damage and distrust resulting from this. The last thing he needs is the infuriating Natalie taking up more space in his head, but she’s to distracting to not linger on.

I believe that this book could be read as a stand-alone but I recommend reading the first two books before this too help you get the whole picture, each book builds a little more and you can tell that things are coming to a head soon.

I love the relationship, the angsty, cat and mouse, enemies to lovers feel to this book. Natalie is so strong and brave and proud and just wants answers. I admire the strength her character shows in this book. Grayson is also a strong character, his stubbornness frustrated me for a while but the healing that he goes through in this book and his growth is *chefs kiss* wonderful. Both of these characters are well rounded and made for each other.
I feel like this author might be becoming a favorite of mine, I like the thought and effort put into her work, the world and character building is terrific. The slow burn of this series as it picks up steam is a wonderful change of pace.

The Innovator (WaterFyre Rising, #3)The Innovator by Nadia Han
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The Innovator is the third book in the WaterFyre Rising series by Nadia Han. This contemporary romantic suspense can be read as a standalone, but I’d suggest reading the other books in the series as they show other aspects of the shared past of this group of male friends.

Starting in the prologue, we get a glimpse of Grayson’s past and how he feels after what happened to his friends and him when they were younger. This scene drew me into our main Hero’s life, allowing me to connect to him and to want to protect him. I loved that I got to see how his past kind of shaped his future and shaped him.

I love the strong, sexy, smart heroine, Natalie, who is bold enough to go up against Grayson. Will being stuck together change their minds? Can they get over despising each other long enough to explore their mutual attraction? And if they do, will it then be possible for them both to overcome their past in order to have a future together? Grayson and Natalie’s story definitely has passion, romance, friendship, danger, and suspense. You should definitely check this series out.

Cirque for your auditory pleasure!

4/5 stars

Oh my goodness! This is a unique romance with a sexy little circus theme. The beginning scene with the description of him “making her his own butterfly,” was steamy and just invites you in for more. The story is good. I found the characters to be strong and written to bring you into the story. It’s not your typical romance. Now, hearing this in auditory takes it up a notch and it’s hot, sexy and gives the suspense a whole new feel. I loved the touch that the narrators gave it. It is fantastic in audible and by book.

Can I start by saying? UNBELIEVABLE! That is the only word for this story. Cassandra is young but her life experiences make her sound so much older. The time has come, she wants to make her dreams come true. What a battle she is about to enter. Chandler is very talented and is  teaching students about silk aerialists for Cirque De Lys. While he did not want to be teaching, his father gave him no choice. Now that Cassandra shows promise Chandler is having second thoughts. Here you will find romance, suspense and some extremely hot scenes. No Spoilers in this review. The author who wrote this book is top notch! I found it hard to stop reading, as the story heated. Her wording builds a clear picture of all events in this story. Also I am pleased that I got the book in audible. I was able to sit back and listen, as I watched the story play in my mind. So worth every amount of time spent on this book. I am looking forward to the next book in this outstanding series.

I am ready to fall in line and obey Chandler’s commands!  Daaaaaaannnnnngggg!!  This book is on fire.  My ears are still warm and I finished hours ago.  I am so frazzled about where the book ended.  How could he do that?  

 

There are so many unanswered questions.  So much I wanna know.  I don’t care if this series is 2 or 20 books, I am wrapped up just like Cassandra in the silks.  I need to know.  How involved is her uncle?  What is actually in the bag that the thief wanted?  Will Chandler believe Cassandra when she tells him the truth?  They were so close to having that conversation before things went crazy.  Will Jean get away from  and away with everything?  Will Chandler and Cassandra make a new life together and walk away from his family?  

 

Beautifully and sensually written.  The way Cassandra describes the feeling of soaring, falling, and being in the silks is amazing.  Not sure if the experience would have been different if I read it versus listened, but the book is a feast for the senses.  The description of colors, smells, tastes and so much add to the delight of reading this amazing thriller!!  

 

I can only hope that the next one is as delicious, fantastic, and pleasurable as this one.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Intriguing story…enjoyable with romance, danger, drama, shibari, angst between Chandler and Cassie with an age gap (which I love)…I am already looking forward to book 2.

After Cassie suffers the unthinkable when losing her parents, she grows up knowing she wants to be a silk aerialist going to a prestigious school to learn from the best. Little did Cassie know she meets
Chandler Moreau and all she wants to do not only learn from him but also be with him.

Chandler is part of the Moreau Academy and highly affluential. With a nagging injury and also going through a divorce…. His focus is all about Cassie and taking her under his wing. This takes a turn when Chandler introduces Cassie to shibari… and the intense sizzle between them is undeniable.

With both Cassie and Chandler having these dark pasts that threaten them at every turn…can they overcome and build any relationship?

Great audiobook, great storyline and narrators to the story… cannot wait to see what happens next.

The Innovator (WaterFyre Rising Book 3)The Innovator by Nadia Han
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I love this series! Book 3 did not disappoint! The Innovator made me intrigued of what’s to come. There’s been drama, action, and romance in all the books so far, but it’s starting to peak in book 3. The author wrote a wonderful story about the romance of 2 people, but also the collective danger lurking in the wings for all the characters throughout these books.
Book 3 is Grayson and Natalie’s story. Which definitely didn’t start off on the best foot. They argued and got under each other’s skin, at the same time those arguments made them more interested in the other.
Natalie is in Providence trying to find out why her father died and why he left her a building. Under an alias she gets a job at the Department of Public Works and Parks to see if she can dig up any info she can on The Prism. Not that it led her to anything but Grayson.
Grayson is trying to get his Three Point Park Project off the ground. One problem he needs to get his hands on The Prism building. The other problem is a beautiful blonde(Natalie) who just gets under his skin but he loves to argue with.
It’s a constant game of cat and mouse between these two. Until a bet is placed between them. That bet goes hand and hand with their attraction to one another. But what happens when they end up at The Fortress together. A getaway retreat where they are the only two occupying the space.
Do they succumb to their desires?
What happens when Natalie is threatened by her ex? Does Grayson come to the rescue?
What about the never ending threats to Grayson and his friends?
They saw something when they were teenagers that could threaten their lives and of those they love even now. Can Natalie and Grayson weather that storm?
So much going on and so many questions that come to mind. I’ll reiterate that the author wrote a wonderful story. A story that could be read as a standalone novel because of the romance, however it’s not recommended due to the drama and action. These books are all connected. Each one may focus on a different set of characters but it also focuses on the group of guys as a whole. You will have so many more questions if you don’t start at the beginning. So it’s time. You need to either start this series, trust me you won’t regret it. Or it’s time to jump into book 3 because you read books 1 & 2. The decision is yours!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Obedience gripped me from the first page and never let go! I absolutely loved every bit of this adventure, and I’m planning on listening to the audiobook for an immersive experience. Trust me, after you read it, you will want all the different variations you can get. There is plenty of tension, especially in the first half of the book, but there is plenty of suspense and steam as well. Cassandra grew up watching and wanting a master aerialist named Chandler. What she didn’t know was that she would get the chance to fly with him…among other things. Chandler was always looking for someone he could relate to and teach his passion of performing acrobatics in the circus. When he finds exactly that in Cassandra, it takes him by surprise when he falls so deeply for her. Will they bend with the pressure, or will they break from their dark history? I can’t believe I have to wait another 6 months for book two because I am fiending for it already! I highly recommend picking this up and reading (or listening!) because it is absolutely amazing!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Cassandra has wanted to perform with Cirque de Lys ever since she was a child and first saw her idol Chandler performing his aerialist routine. From that moment she vowed that she would do whatever it took to be a silk aerialist and join the circus. When Cassandra’s dreams come true, and Chandler becomes her mentor she realizes that she cannot live without him. Chandler soon realizes that Cassandra means more to him than just being one of his students. On the surface it seems that fate has brought them together but what they do not realize is that something far more sinister is at play. Their lives have become intertwined, and they both have demons from their past that they are trying to escape from. Can they shake the shackles of their dark pasts to have a bright future?

This is an interesting story about romance between a student and her mentor. The borderline obsession that Cassandra had for her childhood idol Chandler turns from admiration to passion, then to romance, and ultimately to love. The age gap between Cassandra and Chandler was interesting and did not seem plausible until many years had passed. The book took an interesting plot twist when it was discovered that there were sinister elements at play, and they were brought together for a reason. Danger and suspense lurk under the surface as both Cassandra and Chandler try to escape demons from their past. It seems they both have secrets they have been hiding from the other that could put their lives in danger. The book ends on a cliff-hanger which sets you up for the second book in the series. I cannot wait to follow the further adventures of Cassandra and Chandler to see what deep dark secrets they are hiding.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I should not be surprised at the varied and depths of emotions this author can evoke from me. But I find myself surprised again. The story keeps you involved from beginning until the end. Each mystery is part of the larger story that continues to build. The devotion from these childhood friends is the backbone for each guy. The growing SSG is a fantastic compliment to the guy group.

Natalie is trying to find out the truth behind the secrets surrounding her father’s death. She walks away from her posh lifestyle in Paris to re-establish herself as a municipal employee in Providence, the city that contains the answers she is looking for. She meets Grayson through normal business and decides that he is a jerk.

Grayson has been in a dark place ever since his uncle’s secrets and deception came out. Grayson has been shaken to his very core. He has been grouchy and growly, not caring who he insulted. It was during this time that he met Natalie. When he started hanging out with her, for business of course, he discovered that there was more to this woman than her persistence for government documents and signatures. Her creative soul spoke to his wounded soul in a way no one else had ever before.

I love this series. These characters are real despite their millions. Facing down secret societies and masked villains are commonplace for this group of friends. A wonderful chosen family that defies the quests and coded operations. Looking forward to the next in the series. Forrest!!

Another wonderful book by this talented author. I really loved this story and the characters in it. This was Natalie and Grayson’s story! Natalie and Grayson had such chemistry, it was literally pouring off the pages. If there’s one thing this author does right is she gets the connection and passion between the characters she’s writing about spot on. Apart from the simmering connection between the two characters we’ve got the twists and turns that deal with both of their pasts and I think in particular Grayson’s past was really interesting to see him work through. This is the third book in the series but can be read as a standalone, I would recommend reading in order though personally.
I’m definitely looking forward to more from this author!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the third book in the Waterfyre Rising Series. Even though it is part of a series these books can be read as a standalone as the main story focuses on individual couples. One thing i love about this series is that author attention to detail and character building. Her characters have so much depth and back stories that you can’t help be captivated by their story and how it unfolds

In this story we meet Grayson and Natalie.

Grayson has had a tough upbringing after witnessing a murder with his friends and then suffering more lies and betrayal in his family he has grown to become a man who trusts no one and allows no one to get to close to him. Relationships aren’t something he does as he loses interest too quick that is until he meets Natalie. Natalie is quick witted, she had a spark about her and she’s not afraid to bite back which makes her interesting to Grayson. Shes not like other women.

Natalie however, isn’t all she seems to be. She too is hiding secrets and lies revolving her family which is she on the hunt to find the truth too. The last thing she needs is to get distracted by a man. Especially a man that makes her blood boil as much as Greyson does. Why does he have this effect on her? Why does she allow him to possess so much control over her feelings?

This is a steamy enemies to lovers romance story which will keep the reader gripped till the end. As secrets start to be unraveled between them and their closeness grows will Natalie be able to break down the wall around Greysons heart or are they both too damaged to be able to fixed the damage they have already suffered?

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The thing about this book that captured my attention was the description of the student-teacher relationship. Cassandra has admired Chandler basically her whole life. She followed his acrobatic career in the circus. When she gets the chance to work with him as her mentor, she quickly begins absorbing information from his knowledge and experience. Chandler knew from his first glance at Cassandra that he wanted to be the one to show her the silks used in his circus act. Their feelings for each other quickly develop beyond a mere professional relationship. However, tension follows them as they both are keeping secrets from each other. I didn’t realize until the end of the story that this is actually the start of the series, but I feel like the story Ms. Snow penned wraps up the introduction to Cassandra and Chandler’s lives. It also left enough of a cliffhanger that I am excited to read the next book. There are some spicy bits, that enhance the story in my opinion.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I was very very excited for this story! I LOvE this series and could not wait to dive into this one. Sadly I did not love it. Oh there are scenes that were excellent but for way too much of the book there were too many repeated inner thoughts of the two main characters. I actually ended up flipping pages and could go 3-4 before I started reading again so I could pass repeated info. The beginning was good, the chase was good and the ending was great. All the rest I could have done without and enjoyed a shorter more condensed, more exciting read.

With that being said there were parts I loved. All the angle references were extremely cute. The bantering leading to that first kiss!?! Soo Sexy! His sensual attack on her senses during the bet would be hard to pass up. The time spent with his friends and her friends and when he worked on the game among others. The characters were fun to watch and learn about as are the secrets.

Overall this is just above an okay story for me. I LOVED the first two in the series and was expecting the same here. It is a good story but I am just sad about it. I am hoping the next gets back up to snuff.

Wow I managed to go straight into book three of this series and I was not disappointed. <br />Again we find the characters from the previous 2 books all making appearances as Chris finds it is his time to have his story told. Rowan needs a knight to step up and be her partner in a fake relationship.<br />There is certainly chemistry, and the well written banter between the characters that I have come to enjoy from this author. The story is interwoven with the previous stories (as with His Forever Muse book 2 in the series).<br />The author continues to give us romance with a twist, angst and emotions. I feel that it can be read as part pf the series or as a stand alone. Personally in the series you get to see the bigger picture and get a full feel for how the author builds their worlds.

How happy was I to read the second book in the series soon after the first.<br />In the follow up book to Echoing Hearts we follow Brandon artist in paint and music as he finds himself. Re-kindling the relationship with his best friend’s sister from their friendship 15 years previously.<br />Calli has lived through a lot since she left home, never feeling like she met the expectations of those around her, she moves away, and falls in love. This is pretty short lived. Leaving her life behind for a second time she is reintroduced to Brandon.<br />Callis past will not stay in the past and she finds herself in trouble again.<br />Another really enjoyable contemporary romance; with a definite twist. The characters have developed well in their own story with snippets of the other characters we have already met. This book can be read as a standalone as well as in the series.<br />

The third book in The Echo Series and this is Chris and Rowan’s story. We met Chris in previous books and I was glad he got his own book. The banter and chemistry between Chris and Rowan and the added mystery kept me glued from start until finish. I loved the cameos from characters from the previous books and how everything was cleverly woven together. Highly recommend this book and the whole series.

Rowan Kelly and her family are enjoying refurbishing their family farm and Inn. With her brother Kieran running the farm and making it a success, the building work is going along on the Inn which is her domain. When one night her Dad decides to divulge a secret which rocks the family but also leaves Rowan and her brother in limbo.

Chris is visiting the Farm and Inn which Rae has been informed that she has a third in, but that her siblings are just getting over the shock of her arrival on the scene, so as Rae’s friend he offered to scope out the Inn and see what is going on.

Once Chris arrives he is instantly drawn to Rowan and with things mysteriously going wrong at the Inn and trying to cater for Rowan’s cousin’s wedding, can they find the saboteur and making the wedding a success in a matter of weeks. All trying to juggle Rae arriving and a fake engagement, you will have to delve in to find out.

I love this series and was waiting for Chris’s book as he has flitted in and out of the past two books you don’t really get to the bones of the man until this book. This can be read as a stand alone book as the author does reference some information from previous stories which enhances and adds information to this story.

I loved the chemistry between these two characters and that at first they were prickly to each other but as they got to know each other you are just willing them to believe they are meant for each other. I loved the secondary characters and would love to read Kieran’s story in the next book.

Unexpected Entanglement (Book 3 of the Echo Series)Unexpected Entanglement by C.R. Alam
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Rowan has inherited her family’s inn and wants to prove herself worthy. What better way to do that than to plan an amazing wedding for her cousin?!? Even though the inn might not be fully ready…and she doesn’t quite have the staff she needs…she (begrudgingly, at first) accepts the help of a stranger.

Chris comes to the island on vacation, and as a favor to a friend to check on the inn. What he doesn’t plan on doing is helping to plan a wedding and pretending to be the fiancé of the inn’s owner. He also doesn’t plan on the intense attraction the two have. But, when things start to get crazy, will Chris and Rowan be able to work together to get to the bottom of it?

I was really rooting for these two. This book has so much going on…love, loss, grief, drama, banter, angst, fake relationship, sabotage, healing…the list goes on and on. The author does such a good job at keeping you guessing til the end and making these characters feel so real. As the third book in the series…it can definitely be read as a standalone. However, C.R. Alam leaves lots of little gems in this book that refer to previous books in the series. This is a good book that I enjoyed reading.

5 Stars 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

This is a great read and a great series. Unexpected Entanglement is book 3 in the Echo Series, and I highly recommend reading this series as characters are tied in throughout the book, and I would have to say this while I loved all the books this would be my favorite story. I loved Chris and Rowan.
Spark, sizzle, fake relationship with banter, secrets, suspicion, drama, unexplained “accidents” and healing.

Chris Sullens, planned a vacation spot in Vinalhaven and a bit away from work as a successful hotel owner…but upon coming onto the island, he meets a fiery, Rowan Kelley. Chris’ plans also including to help out Rowan and her brother Kieran with their Inn, especially coming from experience….but this help at first comes with much questions and push-back.

Rowan wants to prove she can run her family owned Inn successfully…she is so determined. Things change unexpectedly with a loss, but it does not deter Rowan to fulfilling her family legacy and keep the Inn going. When Chris Sullens shows up to help, with at first hesitation, she ends up learning so much more. Rowan is determined more than ever to have the best wedding for her friend at the Inn…but when strange things start happening at the Inn…..will Rowan be able to have the wedding that she planned for her cousin be successful while working with Chris as they also navigate their feelings?

This is such a fantastic read, I highly recommend! This story gave me all the feels as I devoured each page and I am looking forward to reading more from this author.

Rowan Kelly has inherited an inn and she’s super excited to host her cousin’s wedding there. Everything has to be perfect and beautiful for the big day. Rowan can handle just about anything that is put in her way but having an extra hand or two never hurts!

Insert Chris Sullens. Chris is a well-known hotelier who is more than happy to dig in and help Rowan make this wedding the best ever. What he didn’t expect is the role that he’d be asked to play in order this wedding to go off WITH a hitch!

This is probably my favorite book of this series so far! There is an overlap of some characters from previous books (it was good to catch up on them!) but this book can be read as a standalone easily. I look forward to seeing where this series continues to go!

Alam definitely knows how to build love chemistry between her characters and she has done it yet again! Absolutely loved the previous two books and fell in love with this one as well! This story has to do with Rowan, who becomes an unexpected wedding planner as she helps out her cousin. Even though things are not turning out as planned, she is trying to keep her head held high and making the best of it. None other than the handsome Chris Sullens turns up at the hotel where wedding planning is underway and ends up helping her. As their attraction and planning come to be, other things are unraveled. Don’t want to give much away because this book is a must read! This series is amazing and I’m sure many others will feel the same way too! Happy Reading!

Unexpected Entanglement (The Echo Series Book 3) by C.R. Alam – Review by Manda Kelly- 2023
Oh WOW!
This is my 1st read from this author and I was NOT disappointed. I instantly fell in love with the leading female character. She is strong and stubborn and everything I look for in a leading lady. Our leading man was no let down either. I was instantly drawn to their chemistry. I felt their attraction. I knew without a doubt that this story was going to leave me wanting more, and it DID. I want to live in this world. I want to befriend these characters. I need to visit the Inn and befriend that townspeople. C.R. Alam has done an AMAZING job of creating a place you WANT to be, and I am here to tell you, I WANT TO BE THERE. Thank you so much for creating a world for us to get lost in.

This is another sizzling romance story! Unexpected Entanglement is the third book in The Echo Series by C. R. Alam. Chris Sullens and Rowen Kelly are a really fun and steamy couple. Chris is a handsome and wealthy hotelier that finds himself entangled in a fake romance with sassy, beautiful Rowena that now runs the family inn. These two were so great together. I loved the witty banter and the passion between these two. Another plot that has you on the edge of your seat. Although I’ve enjoyed all the books in this series, this one was my favorite!
