Tangles by Sharleen Scott – Review by Maura Harper

TanglesTangles by Sharleen Scott
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

TANGLES was a blind read for me. The cover intrigued me and I have enjoyed this author’s stories in the past so never questioned what the book would be about.

Told in third person with multiple POVs and set in present and past time, It is real and raw and emotional. It is about discovery and reality and self identification.

A side note: No matter how old or young you are. No matter if you are a parent or not and no matter if you have assets or not, please make sure your wishes are known and someone is able to act on your behalf if you become incapacitated.

I absolutely recommend this book!

Tangles by Sharleen Scott – Review by Michelle Austin

TanglesTangles by Sharleen Scott
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Tangles was a great 5 star read. Once I started I didn’t want to put it down.

We meet Logan and his family in the beginning, he is a great father that loves his children. He is also someone that when he sets his mind to it he is determined to accomplish his goals.
Logan started to wonder what was going on with his mom when he was on the phone with his dad, she was asking strange questions but his dad assured him she was fine. During a visit he knew his mom behavior was odd and she injured his son. Logan finally gets his father to share what is wrong with his mother, Alzheimers.

When Logan’s father passes he ends up caring for his mother.This is definitely not an easy task and he ends up hiring a nursing service to help him. When he discovers some journals that his mother wrote he ends up with lots of questions and discovers secrets that his mother had, secrets that make him angry and confused.

Will he be able to find someone that can help put the pieces together and give him the answers he’s looking for?

Be prepared for an emotional rollercoaster. My heart went out to Logan, having a friend who’s family went through Alzeimers with her mother this felt like it hit home. Sharleen Scott has done a great job with her writing and you feel like your right there with Logan. If you’re looking for a great read, I highly suggest this one. I look forward to reading more from this author.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I enjoyed this book just as much as the first one I read by this author. This author tells a story in the past and the present and she does it awesomely. I had no problems keeping up with this story. The main characters are great and the author made me feel like I was right there with them experiencing everything too. The story was switched back and forth between two characters and that really brought it to life. I enjoyed this story and I am looking forward to reading more by this author. I would recommend this to a friend! Happy reading!

Virtue & Vice
Spicetopia Book 2
By Phoebe Alexander
☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆
WOW! This book it to adult, for those under 18. This is a wild romantic fantasy.
So if you are looking for a hot read. This is the book to read.

This is Moon and Katja’s story. This couple loves to swing. But they need a break from adulting, paying bills, and working in jobs they are not happy with. Bring on the vacation! While on vacation, they meet a couple, and the imagination takes over.

Phoebe Alexander has done it again. Page one takes off, and you are sucked into this sexy romance fantasy. I love the 2 couples in this story. In fact, I would love to visit Spicetopia! To bad it’s all fantasy, as this would be fun to explore. Phoebe Alexander ‘s book can be read as a standalone, but I recommend you read Sugar & Spice first. No Spoilers as what’s the sense of reading the book if you know the plot. You will have to read this story, to believe the work that went into Phoebe Alexander’s fantasy. You can bet I will be waiting for the next book in this series.

Tangles By Sharleen Scott. I knew going into this story that it’d be a bit different from previous ones I’ve read by this author. And I honestly liked it just as much if not a bit more because parts hit closer to my heart. This story was definitely an emotional story and left me feeling a bit raw. The author does a wonderful job of writing a story that had a difficult subject line but it’s so well written. I truly appreciate the words this author writes and the care taken to get even the smallest details correct. The emotions written into the pages of this story leave you feeling each and every one. I’m giving this story a five star review and highly recommend it. Be prepared for an emotional journey with wonderful characters.

The Time Traveler’s Magic by Anna Applegate is the first book in the Magic Bound Saga. Ember Brighton has been pushed into another time and must figure out what to do and why this has happened. This is a great time traveling fantasy with supernatural/paranormal elements. This is a fun read that kept me wanting more. I enjoyed the characters and the story. I also enjoyed there were plenty of mysteries that Ember was trying to unravel. I look forward to the next book in this series and reading more from Anna Applegate in the future.

Miami Days and Havana Nights is another suspenseful, action-packed, mystery read from author Linda Bennett Pennell. She has once again captivated me with a story that I wouldn’t usually pick up. This author has created a read that is mentally visual and captivating for the whole read. I like that we get flashes from past and present, it was written smoothly and it flowed from chapter to chapter. I loved the characters, I loved following their story. I loved the suspense that had you on the edge of your seat, its a read that you never get bored of, it will hold you captive till the very end!

I can’t wait to see what else this author brings! But until then do not miss this read, you will not be disappointed.

Yes, Yes, Yes I couldn’t wait to get my hands on this book! I was not disappointed. 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 Book 1. You will never be disappointed with Phoebe Alexander’s writing, she continues to pull you in and hold you captive throughout. I loved following Moon & Katja’s story they were brilliant characters that I couldn’t help but love, they had a real story full of romance and sexy, steaminess. I’m so glad that we got to revisit Cy & Jolie from book 1 it was good to see a bit of their story continue as-well.
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!

The Bad Twin by Avery Scott is a fun and sexy read. I have always loved books with a mistaken identity in them and this one was definitely a good one. Avery Scott has created characters that are not only fun and entertaining but ones that are also hot and have great chemistry.
This is the kind of book that you will find yourself reading in one sitting because you just can’t put it down. This author is one that knows how to draw you in immediately and won’t let go. I hated when the book was over because I had enjoyed the story so much. This is one book I can definitely recommend.

In Miami Days, Havana Nights by author Linda Bennett Pennell we find Professor Liz Reams trying to build on the success she found early in her career. Liz literally stumbles onto the story of Sam, a 17 year old boy who is in the wrong place at the wrong time, witnessing a mob hit. Sam finds himself indebted to mobster, Moshe Toblinsky. Sam’s life further changes when he finds himself in a new place far away from family and everything he has ever known. As Liz follows the bread crumbs to Sam’s mafia connections she begins to question her life and priorities. Is her work worth it? Why can’t she commit to her boyfriend? What in her life actually matters most?
I enjoyed this book, but I had a hard time connecting with Sam and his story. Since I enjoy the author’s writing I continued to the end and am glad I did. This was quite a journey and I look forward to what the author brings about next.

The Fisher Men X-ing Lines (Fisher Men Book II) by Rebel Nicks O’Dey – Review by Lisa Brydalski

The Fisher Men X-ing Lines (Book #2)The Fisher Men X-ing Lines by Rebel Nicks O’Dey
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The Fisher Men: Xing Lines by author Rebel Nicks O’Dey is the second book in the Fisher Men series, and while it is said to be a standalone it really should be read after The Fisher Men X my Heart.
This book is about Connor and Rika who we met in the first book. Connor is one of the Fisher brothers and Rika is the journalist friend of Samantha. The main characters are roommates that have yet to meet in person but this makes for interesting reading. If the story would have continued in this vein, I would have given 5 stars. But there was another story, within the story, and that left me feeling lost. At one point I began thinking I was missing something and had to look at the author’s backlist. Here I found another series with information that I missed. I think I need to read that series before I go on to the rest of the Fisher men books. I think, at times, the author threw out too much information, confusing the reader. The She thread is extremely interesting but really garbled the story lines but that’s just my opinion as a reader.
There were a lot of twists and turns in this story some of which probably weren’t necessary but all in all this was an enjoyable read.

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.

Virtue and Vice is a fun, sexy story that I can’t get enough of! I am completely loving this series. The idea of an adult amusement park is so fresh and new…well at least in a book it’s new. I know some adults that have dreamed of an “adults-only park” for a while!

This story is hot right from the very first page! I had to share with hubby right away since I thought it was about us! You know the story has to be great when you start with a sexy time!

The characters in this story are fun, ambitious, sexy and entertaining! I love when characters hit turmoil or some unforeseen twist and realize just what could happen if they don’t shape up! Alexander doesn’t disappoint! (I really hope she is writing the next story, quickly!)

Not Fade Away (Interstellar Rescue Series Book 4) by Donna S. Frelick was an excellent 5-star read. It is a wonderful addition to this series. I loved the various characters including Rafe, Charlie, Del, and Happy. The author did very well with their development and backstory. It was easy to fall in love with them. There were several other characters carried over from previous novels that I was very excited to see in this book as well.

The storyline was full of action and Romance. It was easy to follow and get lost in. The author was very organized when alternating between past occurrences and present. I appreciated how the sections had a break before each. This story had an exciting climax and the author pulls everything together well at the end of her story. I highly recommend this book and the series itself.

The Bad Twin: A Mistaken Identity Billionaire Romance by Avery Scott is romance story that is quick and enjoyable read. How can someone be identical in every aspect an yet polar opposites in personality. Mistaken identity leads to a little drama but also a little fun, if only it could last. Will the truth make everything worse and one twin sit up and take notice?

Gabby has always coasted along in life, never putting down roots to anything, just does whatever she wants whenever she wants. Responsibility – what is that?

Abby is the worrier, she is reliable and the grown up and when her sister messes up she steps in to help her out. Only this time the lie could come back to bite her but the one good thing could be that Gabby can see what it is like to walk in her sisters shoes for a while.

As always a delight Avery.

Miami Days, Havana Nights by Linda Bennett Pennell continues to follow our crime writer and Professor, Liz Reams. This time she is looking into the events of a man who is on the wrong side of the mob and Mosche Toblinsky after seeing a murder. The story is written in the same fashion as the first one, where it is based on historical events and we get to see what happened back in 1926. It also interwoven with the present with Liz’s story as she searches for events and the truth and her relationship. It is interesting and suspenseful and is not without the bloodshed and horrors back in that time when having anything to do with the mob. It is easy to imagine all you are reading due to Linda’s writing.

Tangles by Sharleen Scott is a very emotional read and one that will break your heart and make it ache. It is a story about Alzheimer’s and the affect that it has not only on the person who is suffering from this disease but to everyone around them and particular the family they have basically left behind and who have to struggle with a person they no longer know. I watched my grandfather go through it and this story brought back so many memories both good and bad. Sharleen has done a great job of sharing a story of the real life struggles.

Logan is now caring for his mother after his father suddenly passed away. It deals with the many things he is now facing day after day, grief and loss, hate and love, frustration and hope. Whilst in the throes of his caring he comes across journal his mother had written and what he finds is a shock to his system and causes him to question his whole life.

I look forward to reading what Sharleen gives us next.

I have read a few books by this author now so when I read the blurb for this book I had no hesitation in jumping straight in and overall I wasn’t disappointed! It had the author’s great writing style which I enjoy and some great characters who I found quite easy to connect with. It might not be my favourite book but her but I would still 100% recommend it!
I loved the setting for the story and thought the author did a great job of really bringing Paris to life through her descriptive writing. I could completely imagine some of the scenes that she was setting. I think the twin switching was probably a little predictable but it was still an enjoyable read. I liked Abby she was the kind of character who is a little naive and actually switching places with her sister did force her out of her comfort zone in some respects. Hudson was what I kind of expected from a sexy, billionaire alpha male character but I still couldn’t help but fall for him! He was definitely a guilty pleasure!
Overall a really nice read, I read it quite quickly as I was completely invested in what I was reading. As mentioned earlier I would definitely recommend this book to other readers!

I was completely swept up Will and Liz’s story – I thought they were such a sweet couple perfect for each other so when their relationship was threatened by Will’s stalker I was on the edge of my seat waiting to find out what was going to happen! I loved the suspense that ran through the story – it definitely kept me guessing the whole way through. Although this is the third book in the series it can be read as a standalone however I absolutely want to go and read the others now – I definitely have the taste for this series! Darcy’s Caution is the first book that I have read by Ms Burton and I really enjoyed her writing style – the story was easy to read with a great flow and pace and it had wonderful characters!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

AILEY OF SKYE is the type of book that I thought I knew what was going to happen and settled in for some predictability only to discover, within the first few pages, how wrong I was.

A story of discovering one’s true self and the whole nature vs nurture theory of life (there was very little nurture). Watching the growth of each character as the story evolves held my attention.

This is a well developed story with a realism and honesty about recovery and the tenuous hold we have on it sometimes. Emotionally gripping at times, with twists and unexpected situations, I read this in one sitting.

I will be checking out this author’s other books to add to my TBR.

Terri is fiercely independent and doesn’t always ask for help, even when she needs it. Terri also has feelings for her best friend Jet. Jet is concerned about his best friend and wants to help her. He has the dream of becoming an author. He also realizes that there is a romantic interest between him and Terri. What does the future hold for Terri and Jet? Even if there is a risk to their current friendship will they take a chance and start a relationship? Read this book to find out. This story was an emotional read. When reading about Terri’s character and how she is feeling is hard at times. There are issues that may be triggers to some. I felt that the story was written in such a way that you can’t help but be touched and moved by Terri’s experiences. I enjoyed reading about many of the additional characters that interact with Terri and Jet. I grew to care about Terri with every chapter that I read and wanted her to find happiness.

I found the story Ailey of Skye by Wendy Hewlett to be an amazing book to read. It pulls you in right from the beginning and didn’t let me go until I had read the final page. It is a story that will have you believing in the strength of the human spirit and of the will to survive. I loved reading about the main character of Aileen MacEwan. She is a young woman that has an inner strength that shows for all to see. She at times has to be reminded of it. Aileen is a recovering alcoholic/addict who has come to the Isle of Scotland to a house that her grandmother left her. She is trying to figure out what is next in her life. It is on the island that the past is revealed, and revelations are made. I found Aileen to be strong and independent. Read her journey as she develops a “friendly” relationship with a Scottish football legend and discovers her family ties. This is a book that had my emotions going up and down the entire time I was reading. It also had me hooked and turning pages to find out what happens next. I couldn’t help but find myself caring about Aileen with each chapter that I read. I don’t believe I can put into words how deeply I loved reading this story. I would highly recommend reading it.

This was by far one of the best step-brother books I’ve read. It was different yet connectable. I felt close to Greer and went through the emotions just like she did.
I wished we’d have gotten a little more of Beckett, but what we did get was great.
Lots of drama, its high school of course, internal battles and also some mystery.
If you like step romances, this is for you and even if you don’t, its not your average story.
