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

Hidden Obsession by Maddie Wade and India Kells a five-star read that you will become obsessed with. This is number two in An Alliance Agency series and this series goes from strength to strength, this really is great story telling from these two. This kicks off with action and drama from the very first page, Cleo Darwin and Mason Bentley bring chemistry to the page that just leaps from it. Cleo is a great character, and I was rooting for her from the start, while with Mason, I don’t know it took me a little while to warm to, but do you know what when he got into his stride I couldn’t get enough of him, that protective show just made it all for me. Once you pick this up you won’t want to put it down, this series is great.

Misplaced: Joined: Book TwoMisplaced: Joined: Book Two by Mara Gan
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Misplaced by Mara Gan a four-star read that you won’t want to misplace. This is number two in the Joined series and I would recommend you read them in order as you do get the most of it them that way. This has been a solid fantasy romance series, and the author does a great job of keeping you hooked. Meda is strong and stubborn, but strong for others and always willing to put herself out for others anything to help and heal them. As you go through the story and find who is Meda? You will enjoy discovering her story and finding her grow into herself. I don’t want to reveal anything about what happens as you do need t read the story to find out the glorious details of this story.

Summer Break: A Joe Football NovellaSummer Break: A Joe Football Novella by Autumn Sand
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Summer Break by Autumn Sand a super five-star read. This is a novella in the Joe Football series, it could be read as stand-alone but I would recommend you read Joe Football first, to get the most out of the story, or else you would want to go back and read it and you would have major spoilers. Favor, Favor, Favor what are we to do with you, you break my heart every time. (not just because she gets to snuggle up next to Brice at night) These characters will make you care about them even in such a short amount of pages, you would be sorry to miss this novella as it does a great job of bringing a great and complex story together in a short amount of pages and still making it hookable.

Loving Jake (Almost Perfect Series Book 1)Loving Jake by Lisa Lanay
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Loving Jake by Lisa Lanay a four-star read that will bring the heat, this is number one in the Almost Perfect series and shows promise of a good series. This is well done, but can be a little predictable at times, but overall, I liked the writing. This one will have you wondering all the way, Jake and Kimberly really will make you wonder, they will play with your emotions and make you guess. Jake was well done and not overly done like we can find in some romance stories.

Love & Omens (Crescent City Ghost Tours, #2)Love & Omens by Carrie Pulkinen
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Love and Omens by Carrie Pulkinen a spellbinding five-star read, this is number two in the Cresent City Ghost Tour series and this continues to show us what a great series it is. It could be read as stand-alone, but it is best read as part of the series in my eyes as you build on the world and get to see the follow on for Emily and Sean, but they aren’t the main attraction in this one, that goes to Blake and Syd they steal the show in this instalment. This series really does drag you in, giving you the mystery and romance that makes a great story. The fact that Blake and Syd have a past just added an extra layer to the story, the chemistry alone is worthy of a massive reaction. Throw in haunting emotions and Madi Gras and you have a winner.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Love and Ghosts by Carrie Pulkinen a five-star read that will make you fall in love with the scare, this is number one in the City Ghost Tour series and I am excited for the rest of the series.

This is a great paranormal romance and will make you believe in Emily and Sean; they will make you fall in love with the stories. This has a little of everything and will make you care, including one of the best moments ever. Do not miss this compelling start to the series.

Knight Watch (An Alliance Agency Novel #1)Knight Watch by India Kells
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Knight Watch by Maddie Wade & India Kells a four-star read that will save you. This is number one in an Alliance Agency Novel series and this one shows us great promise for the series, the characters are deep and complex and bounce off each other well. Sydney was by far the strongest woman in this story even if she may not feel it at times, after everything she has been through in the past, (this may be a trigger warning for some, but the authors do give clear warnings and well done on that) and now being kidnapped, this could be enough to break many, and who knows if it will break Sydney, you need to read the story to find out. Will Sydney find more strength in the love that Kingsley will bring for her, love that he cant avoid.

Revive (Rewind #3)Revive by Rowan Shaw
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Revive by Rowan Shaw a rocking four-star read. This is number three in the Rewind series and I have read and enjoyed the series they get better with each read and story, but you could read it as stand-alone. If you have read the previous novels then definitely read the note from the author, as This will surprise you, I was so empathetic towards Patrick and this surprised me as I didn’t enjoy his character previously, but this author has a way of making you really care about the people in these stories, makes you see people differently, make you think differently. It was steamier than I would normally have gone for in this genre, but the author has a way of making it an integral part of the story and just more compelling reading.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Fire & Ice by Phoebe Alexander a five-star read that will warm you up from the tip of your toes. This is number three is the Spicetopia series, they can be read as stand-alone, but I have read and enjoyed them as a series. All of the stories have been fast paced and filled with passion and drama, but this one has something extra in it as well, the whole opposites thing adds drama and the sabotage aspect just added another layer that kept you hooked. This theme park sounds amazing and somewhere I need to go more than another Land with rides.

Hidden TracksHidden Tracks by Zoe Lee
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Hidden Tracks by Zoe Lee a four-star read that will be music to your ears. This is my first story by this author, and I can’t wait to read more, there is promise to the writing that will whisk you away. Astrid was complex and intriguing, she has lived a life and got the t-shirt (a band one maybe but still, they are the best). The natural flow of the novel gave great pace and didn’t feel rushed or like it dragged, the pacing was well done. The balance of Seth and Astrid again was well done and made me smile. This is a light story with great heart, but there were also serious moments that challenge you. Overall a great story.

Stars Fall From the Sky (Reigning Hearts #2)Stars Fall From the Sky by K.G. Fletcher
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Stars Fall From the Sky by K.G. Fletcher a four-star read that you will want to catch like a shooting star. This is the second story in the Reigning Hearts series and be warned you will need the tissues by your side as you read this story as its very emotive, touching and dramatic reading. Ginger and Jonathon prove that two wrongs can make a right, as two broken hearts can hopefully make one between them. It really is a heart-breaking story and compelling reading; you will be doing yourself a disservice if you miss this series.

Hope by Seelie Kay a five-star read that will drag you into the drama. This is number four in the Feisty Lawyer series and I would recommend you read them in order as they all build a great story and add to the overall suspense of the world. Hope Ali has a story that will suck you in and not let you go until the last page so be warned don’t start this unless you have time to finish it. This was a great story proving just because you are called Hope doesn’t mean you always have it. But it doesn’t mean you wont ever find it.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Virtue and Vice by Phoebe Alexander a five-star read that will bring the fun. This is number two in the Spicetopia series and I would whole heartedly recommend reading them in order as they do tell a great story. From he first page you are pulled into this story, pulled in deep, pulled into the spice and steam. Getting to know Moon and Katya better, really did make the story more rounded and just made me care so much about everything. This author always manages to pull it out of the bag, they have a way of describing the world they create and making you visualise it as if you were there, but this time you could feel the steam flushing on your skin it was that good.

Sugar & Spice (Spicetopia Book 1)Sugar & Spice by Phoebe Alexander
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Sugar & Spice by Phoebe Alexander a five-star read that’s as sweet as sugar. This is the first novel in the Spicetopia series and all I can say is bring on the rest, this just gave the first taste of the sweetest desert and I want to eat every last bite. Cyrus is a difficult character at times, but he shows us all just what he is made of in the end, hearing his voice tell his story helped me come around to him. Jolie is someone we all need in our life, hearing her story just made me need more Jolie in my life. I cant wait to dive into number two, as even though they don’t have to be read in order there is a reading order so I do plan on reading them in order.

Beneath the Fallen City (The Omni Towers, #1)Beneath the Fallen City by Jamie A. Waters
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Beneath the Fallen City by Jamie A. Waters a four-star read that will swoop in and save you. This is number one in the Omni Towers series and if the rest are as good then it shows great promise of being a series you wont want to miss, as this has some great world building and some great backstory for the characters, that for a single story wouldn’t work very well, but as a series shows great promise for the story. This is a great story of action and adventure with some love thrown in to change up the mix, Kayla is a great character and one you won’t want to miss.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Toxic Blonde by David Stever a five-star read that will keep you on the edge of your seat. This is the second story in the Delarosa Series, and I have read them in order and enjoyed them that way, I would recommend you read them in order to get the most out of them. Johnny Delarosa is described in such a great way that he is exactly as you picture an old time PI, he keeps the story going. The suspense is done very well, it keeps you hooked all the way through. The action is powerful enough to keep you on your toes but not overdone to the point that it drives you mad. Overall a very well-done story and one you shouldn’t miss.

Drawing Strength From Words (A Four Horsemen Novel Book 2)Drawing Strength From Words by C.A. King
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Drawing Strength from Words by C.A. King a five-star read that turns myths on their heads. This is number two in the Four Horseman novels series and they go from strength to strength, I read number one a while ago and then read number two and three in very quick succession and now I just need number four. Out of the three I have read so far number two is my current favourite as it just takes the whole story and adds something extra to it, this whole series has been full of twists and turns and has kept me in the edge of my seat all the way though, but this one just had the extra layer. Gabriel what a character, she really does pull I out of the box, ad when you add Ryder to the mix it just creates an explosive story that will suck you in, spitting you out the other side changed.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Hitting the High Note by C.A. King a five-star read that will have you hitting the high notes. This is number three in the Four Horseman Novels and its best to read them in order as it keeps you hooked and keeps you drawn in all the way, the author has done their own twist to the Four Horseman tale and just keeps it fresh and interesting. As always, this author makes you see the story portrayed in front of you, the descriptions are so detailed its like the story comes alive as you read it. The story between Bekka and Uriel will keep you on tenterhook’s, in fact the whole story does that but between them they do keep this story great.

Devil's Dilemma (Satan's Devils MC Colorado Chapter #4)Devil’s Dilemma by Manda Mellett
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Devil’s Dilemma by Manda Mellett a five-star read that will set your world on fire. This is number four in the Satan’s Devils MC: Colorado Chapter and each one tells us a different story. I will admit I didn’t love this one as much as number three, but it was still a great story and I am eager to get my hands-on number five. Melissa was someone I could identify with easily, I got her straight away, she was a good character and had great depth to her. She brings the story to life, I will say that there are emotions running riot in this one, so be warned you may need to break out the tissues, but I am leaving it there. There are some amazing characters in this as well as Melissa and each of them will show you a different part of a great story.

Devil's Due: Satan's Devils MC Colorado Chapter #3Devil’s Due: Satan’s Devils MC Colorado Chapter #3 by Manda Mellett
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Devil’s Due by Manda Mellett a five-star read that will serve you up. This is the third novel in the Satan’s Devils MC: Colorado chapter and in my eyes it was the best, Manda Mellett has fast become a go to author for me, they write an MC story that is so easy to read, it’s almost as easy as breathing. I have been eagerly awaiting this story, as I have read the other previously and loved them, but they pale compared to this story. Most authors would struggle to keep the action so fast paced and consistent that your heart won’t get chance to let up from the first page to the last. I love the writing so much, but not as much as the characters, they aren’t all buff or blonde and beautiful, they all have edges and issues, they just feel more right as characters, they don’t all live great lives, and what I love most she brings in other things, that I don’t want to show as sometimes just a hint of beauty is all you need. If you haven’t checked this author out already then go, get the novels you need them I your life.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Demon’s Angel by Manda Mellett a five-star read that will start your engine. This is number two in the Satan’s Devils MC (Colorado chapter) Cross over series and they just go from strength to strength. The strength and sizzle in this story will make you see the a roller-coaster of rainbow emotions. Violet is such a great character, her strength will make you care so deeply for her, Demon was weirdly the one I was slow to come to, I didn’t think he was enough in the beginning, he just didn’t appeal to me but about half way through I don’t know why but I was suddenly like, wow he is such a great man. I don’t know where it came from, but it surprised me. Secrets and history don’t always play fair, but Manda Mellett has a great way of pulling both together and blowing us away.

Evil Sushi by C.A. King a five-star read that you will want to chow down on. This is the first in a new series and shows us again what a talented but scary mind C.A. King must have, the imagination of this author is second to none. This supernatural thriller has a bit of everything in it, it’s a rea thought provoking and startling story, it will make you stop and think all the while you are swept up and unable to stop reading. There were so many levels and depths to this story, so many layers like a fancy trifle some are sweet, but they may not all be. Sink your teeth into this story and if you haven’t read this author before, find yourself a new favourite author along the way.

Protecting His Heart by Tracey Cramer-Kelly a four-star read with all the feels. This is the second story in the Lawson Family series, and you don’t have to have read number one first, but I would say to as they are both great. This is great, it just pulls you in and makes you care so much about Ian and Rachel, the dynamic of their relationship is strong and will surprise you at times. Ian is a cop and he has a past, he knows how damaging secrets can be, but Rachel has a secret that she can not afford to share. Your emotions will be all over when you read this one, so be warned you won’t want to put it down.

Paladin’s Hell by Manda Mellett a five-star read that will rock you. This is number one in the Colorado Chapter of the cross over Satan’s Devils MC series, you don’t need to have read the cross over before as you can start this, I adore this writer and have loved the characters in her other stories. The multiple POV in this story can get a little confusing at times, but it does get so easy to read. The devotion in this story is just so strong, Paladin and Jaydin will just make you swoon, but they aren’t the only story, and that just gives this so much more.

Flower Shields by C.A. King a four-star read that gets a star for each horseman. This is the first story in the Four Horseman series, and I need the rest of the series as I need to know more. I love this author as the stories are super quick to read and always pack a punch, they start on the first page and don’t let up, usually that would mean that you miss character development but it’s not the case with this author. This is definitely a paranormal fantasy read with a little romance on the side, rather than a primary romance. But the story is good, and the writing is great.

Forbidden by Autumn Sand a complex four-star read. I don’t know what to say about this one without telling you what’s behind the seven doors, other than be warned you will need a tall glass of something cold to cool you off after taking a peep behind each door. Each story is individual having its own characters and naughtiness, it’s fascinating that all of these things could come from one mind. What a mind you must have Autumn Sand, I know I would love to sit with you over cocktails and pick your brain.

Darcy’s Caution by Zoe Burton a fast paced four-star read. This is number three in the Pride and Prejudice Racecar series, it could be read as stand-alone as I haven’t read the first two, I will check them out as this was funny and sweet. I love a good sport’s romance and adding cars into the mix just brings a freshness to the story. Darcy and Liz are great, they aren’t perfect, and all glossed over like you see in some stories, and that just adds to the drama, throw in a stalker and you have a great story.

Cutter and Valentina are just so powerful together, they have such a great chemistry it sets the page aflame. But there is a slowness to the burn, its not a quick burn and out, it burns slow and strong just like the best fires. Gwyn McNamee always brings a good story, but this one brought the waves as well.

Shameless by Sherry A. Burton a four-star read that will take you back. This is the second story in the Orphan Train Saga and the story and characters may be fictional they history behind it is real, it was something I had never heard of before starting this series but the more I look into it, the more it surprises me with its depth of history. I would definitely recommend you read the saga in order as the story does progress through. We get to hear more about Tobias in this story, from his hard start, to even harder journey. It will break your heart reading about his struggles. But the author does a great job of sucking it in and giving you a positive side as well, even in all the darkness.
