Rogue Wave (The Inland Seas #2)Rogue Wave by Gwyn McNamee
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Rogue Wave by Gwyn McNamee a five-star read that will leave you out to sea. This is number two in the Inland Sea series and they just get better with each reading, this built on the characters and story, making it a stronger and more developed 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.

Miami Days, Havana Nights

This was a wonderfully well written story. As your reading this book your reading about the past and the present, the author did this so seamlessly that it was easy to follow. This story was rich in detail and had wonderful characters. I enjoyed reading about Sam who is a young man that is indebted to the mob and and I also liked reading about Liz who is a crime professor and I was completely captivated in where their stories would end up. There is romance, suspense, and so much more in this amazing story. I have found myself loving this author’s writing style, I can’t wait to read more by this author. I highly recommend this book.

Tangles by Sharleen Scott – Review by Liz Vrchota

TanglesTangles by Sharleen Scott
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This novel really, truly moved me to tears several times while I was reading, I knew when I picked up the book that it would be somewhat of an emotional read for me regardless of how sappy the story would get. I don’t think I fully prepared myself for the roller coaster of emotions I would be embarking upon. I am so glad that I scooped up this book, even without knowing the author’s previous works. I am excited to see what else may be available by Sharleen Scott now.

Logan takes us on the journey of taking care of his mother that suffers from Alzheimers. Caring for your parent without any ailments is a difficult phase in life that comes with joys and challenges alike. It is something we all hopefully get the chance to do and can at some point relate with. Logan doesn’t hold punches with how he is feeling and handling things and I loved it. His mother really reminded me of my own at times and I instantly felt connected to her all the way till that last word. I can’t say enough good things about this novel so go grab it and devour it for yourself!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Shameless by Sherry Burton was a great extension of the first Orphan Train Saga. I would give this book a five out of five stars. I truly enjoy this series, there is something wonderful about Cindy and Linda reliving all of these stories. I did not know if I would be ready for Tobias’s story when the book started but I found myself hanging onto every word. I had a lot of the same thoughts that Cindy and Linda had as I was reading. The story flows really well and is easy to follow, the hard part is just dealing with the situations. I cannot wait to read the rest of the stories.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

An adult theme park on a secluded island in the Bahama’s? I’m so in! This is book 2 in the Spicetopia series and I highly recommend reading Sugar & Spice, Book 1 in the series first. At the end of book one, we meet Moon and Katja, the couple that has agreed to build the park with Cy and Jolie. Each with different skills and areas of expertise, the four of them have the foundation needed to get the park up and running. We really get to know them in this book and see the struggles they are going through that result in them wanting to find a new direction in life.

This book is a hot and steamy romance with well-developed character relationships that leaves you wanting more. I can’t wait to see how this all comes together in the next book in this series!

Shameless (The Orphan Train Saga Book 2)Shameless by Sherry A. Burton
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Shameless (The Orphan Train Saga Book 2) by Sherry A. Burton. I love these books! Each one leaves me wanting to read more. This is the second book in the series and these should be read in order. Its the continuing story of Cindy & her mom finding out that their grandmother/mother was an orphan on the infamous Orphan Trains. The Orphan Trains were used to take orphans and unwanted children West to people that wanted children. They have found tons of journals in the grandmother’s attic. This is Tobias aka Mouse’s story. We first met Tobias in the first book and he was not a person I wanted to read more about but this book explains why he’s so hard. He was a young orphan living on the streets of NYC learning to lie, cheat and steal to survive. He finds himself on the Train West but once he gets there it doesn’t work out and he’s sent back to NYC. He does really well this time around and becomes smarter in the ways of the streets until he sees MIleta aka Mildred. He’s obsessed with her and somehow ends up on another Train headed West and ends up in a very crime ridden gang called the Purple Gang Society. I loved reading about Tobias and actually liked his story even more than Mileta’s! I can’t wait for the next heartbreaking story. These are some of the best books I’ve read this year!

Forbidden (Tales of Passion, Lust & Betrayal Vol. 1) by Autumn Sand – Review by Randall Murphy
The setting is unique and very intriguing from the very start. It wasn’t what I expected, but the presentation of the story made it more intriguing and erotic. There is definitely some erotic naughtiness, but there is also some intrigue, disappointment, and pain. The rollercoaster of emotions will have you reviewing how you look at things. It’s not all happily ever after, but there are some edge of your seat moments and several surprises in store. This book is a great bridge between the happily ever after romance group and the hardcore erotica group in how that it has a little of both, but doesn’t fit entirely in either category.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

REBEL JEWEL is the third and final story in “The Jewel Chronicles” and I think it is important to read each book in order. All through the series there is amazing world building and character development.

This is one of those series that I will read again back to back. With each new story, it took me a few minutes to settle in and remember where my brain left off on the last story.

The author is a very skilled story teller and the images she paints with the words she writes is beautiful. At times I thought I knew exactly what was going on and other times I just kind of shook my head.

This is a series and an author I definitely recommend .

Elemental Fae Academy (Elemental Fae Academy Book 1) by Lexi C. Foss and J.R Thorn
5 Stars

I have read many books by Lexi C. Foss and loved them all. After reading this book, I know this will be another series that I will adore. I fell in love with these characters: Titas ( the scorchingly hot Fire Fae), Exos (the arrogantly all powerful Spirit Fae) and Claire ( the beautiful and fated). This reverse harem starts out as a small ember that quickly ignites to an all consuming blaze. You will definitely need a cold shower after some of these steamy scenes.

Although the chemistry between the characters is palpable and the sex scenes exciting, there is more to this book. Claire’s powers awaken on her twenty first birthday and Exos whisks her away to the Fae Realm to be her mentor. With her not knowing that she is half fae and her powers out of control, Claire is too dangerous to remain in the human realm. Unfortunately, most of the Fae want her dead. Claire must accept who she is, learn to control her powers and find out who is framing her for causing chaos before she gets killed.

This story had a nice twist having the fae represent the different elements instead of the usual light or dark fae. The book had me enthralled until the end. Omg, what an ending! I’m left hanging, waiting with bated breath for the next book!

The Time Travellers Magic by Anna Applegate is the first book in the Magic Bound Saga. This is an exciting story that has everything you could want.
Anna Applegate is an author that I have become pretty familiar with over the past year and I have come to expect that her books are enjoyable. This one is no exception and probably has to be my favourite to date. I loved these two characters. Rane is definitely fantasy worthy!!
The overall story was was paced an exciting. I found myself flying through this book simply because I couldn’t stop reading. If this is only book one then I really can’t wait to see what else is to come.

This story is full of action that keeps you hooked. The characters are intriguing. I mean, a vampire pirate, what’s not to love!!! Writing time travel can be iffy, but this book pulls it off pretty well. Ember has a bit of personal growth to do, but then again, don’t we all. I think maybe the character flaws she has are what make her more relatable. Overall, I found the plot interesting. It made for an entertaining read. There are some things that in the book that brought up questions, but they will probably be answered in subsequent books.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Tangles is a heart breaking story by Sharleen Scott. I had read her Caught series before picking up Tangles and even though the subject matter is so different, still you could feel the deep love for human relationships that the writer has and that I fell in love with when reading the Caught series.
The writer has tackled a sensitive subject matter with Tangles and what makes it even more remarkable and person is the fact that she wrote it while her own family was trying to come to terms and find their way with the diagnoses of Alzheimer themselves.
Tangles gives us the story of Logan McKinnon and his mother Louis who was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s when she was in her late sixties… The journey that Logan gets on, the loss of his father who took care of his mother for years before he passes, the way how “the plaques and tangles win …”
Logan finds his mother’s secret journals and that takes him on another journey that shakes him to his core and he needs to find his way to how to reconcile what he discovers and what he has known all his life AND he has no one to ask his questions as his dad is gone and his mother is also … gone … as she used to be …
I know that you will not regret picking up Tangles, simply be prepared to having your heart strings pulled so hard that you need a box of tissues at hand!

I give Miami Days, Havana Nights by Linda Bennett Pennell, 5 stars.

In the mid 1920s, 17 year old Jewish boy Sam witnesses a mob hit in New York. Instead of losing his life, the men he works for ships him off to Miami, never to see his family again. He must learn to survive with coming to the reality that he will be working for the gangsters since they saved his life. He is told to stay in a Jewish bakery. Here he meets the baker’s daughter and falls in love. But her parents don’t want her to marry a gangster? Can he get out of this life? He owes them so much, but he loves Rebecca. Thus begins an interesting life no one had ever heard of.

While doing research for another course, Liz comes across an unknown man in quite a few photos of notorious Jewish connected man, Moshe Toblinsky. The more she tries to find out about this man, the more mysteries arise, including lots of travel and adventure. Meanwhile she is still dealing with the security of a trustworthy boyfriend, and some issues with her parents. Can she discover who this man is? Is it worth it?

I was blown away by the first book in the series and so eagerly awaited reading this book. I was so not disappointed. It has wonderful characters in both timelines and all of the things going on both present and in the past grip you in the spell the author has weaved of love, misfortune, action and adventure.

I highly recommend this book to all of those who like great books!

This story was so touching, movinig, and very emotional. It sucked you in at the very start and it didn’t once let me up! There is no doubt in my mind that this book wouldn’t have this effect on everyone. It’s a story that many people live through but many deal with it differently. Its a story of love and forgiveness.

Logan is caring for him mother who has Alzheimers. The emotions he goes through from sad to frustration to utter exhaustion pulls at your heartstrings. Logan soon discovers journals that he knew nothing about their existence and everything he thought or knew is up in question.

This was one beautiful and heartfelt book that everyone needs to read!

Virtue & Vice (Spicetopia Book 2)Virtue & Vice by Phoebe Alexander
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Virtue & Vice is the 2nd book in the Spicetopia series by Phoebe Alexander. This book starts exactly where Sugar & Spice finished. I would definitely recommend that you read Sugar & Spice first, infact, the author recommends this too.
Sugar & Spice had many hot and steamy moments but it has nothing on this book. OMG this was off the charts HOT! This book contains BDSM and swinging so is not for the prudish person. Very early on there is a sex scene containing two couples, Cy & Jolie from Sugar & Spice and Moon & Katja who are the main characters in this book. If you’ve read the first book, they are the couple that Cy & Jolie meet at the very end of the book.
Moon & Katja are a married couple who have been in the swinger’s lifestyle for many years. Bored with their jobs, they are keen to join Cy and Jolie in their plans to open an adult theme park. I loved both Moon and Katja’s characters. They are obviously very much in love and can’t get enough of each other.
Although there is a lot of sexual content in this book, there is also a lot of other storylines going on that are very interesting and enjoyable and will keep you hooked.
At the moment there are another 2 books planned in this series and I can’t wait to see what the author has in store for the couples we have already met and those we’ve still to be introduced to.

Rebel Jewel by Natalina Reis is the third and final book in The Jewel Chronicles series. I highly recommend reading the first two books before reading this one. This is an ongoing story and much better enjoyed as a series versus a standalone. Milenda is back from exile and she is the final catalyst needed for revolution. Does she want to take this on and endanger many including her husband and young daughter?
I have really enjoyed this series it has action, adventure, romance, intrigue and much more. Also, the characters are really great and help drive the story forward. I did not want to put this down because I had to know what would become of everyone and where the story would end. I look forward to reading more from this author in the future.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

When I first got the book Calling the Curveball (a Lawson Family Novel) by Tracey Cramer-Kelly, I didn’t think that it was a series. However the ending of the book kind of sets the stage for a next one to take place. I enjoyed this book so much that I hope there is another one to follow because I want to see what happens after reading the last chapter of this one. Jamie Lawson has always dreamed of being a pro baseball player and he was heading in the direction of making that happen. Unfortunately his life took in one instant when there was a wreck that left him injured and his wife dead. Since the accident 6 years ago he has made a life for himself even though he still lives with guilt and regret. Kira Walker has come into town to spend the summer with her sister, and on a whim of courage she ask Jamie out to a date. Reading about these two coming together and seeing the possibilities of a future relationship bloom between them was amazing. There was so much emotion in the pages of this book with not only Jamie and Kira but also their family and friends. This book put some things into perspective for me in my own life. This is a journey of hurt, guilt, love, and forgiveness. Definitely add this one to your reading list.

Paladin’s Hell by Manda Mellett is the first book in the Satan’s Devils MC (Colorado Chapter) and such an amazing read. As a HUGE MC fan I have to say I loved this book and loved the authors way of creating such a strong setting and even stronger characters that I LOVED! Paladin saved Jayden and she began to crush on the one who saved her, he wanted her to grow, so he waited while he doubted that he would ever be able to call her his. Finally they were able to go to Colorado, away from those that told him she couldn’t be his. A new club and a new life Jayden. But things don’t seem to be working and forces want Jayden and I not to have the life we want, need, and so deserve. Can Jayden and Paladin make this work when so many things are against them?
I loved this book, I think the author has such a strong talent. I have never read anything by her and now have tons to read and I look forward to the many more books sitting on my kindle waiting. The talent, the detail, the characters were able to pull me right in and leave me wanting more! FIVE STARS!!

Collision (Shattered Hearts Book 3) by Nicole Banks – Review by Angelina Frazzini

Collision (Shattered Hearts, #3)Collision by Nicole Banks
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Collision by Nicole Banks is the third book of the Shattered Hearts series. This book is Chase and Kris’ story.

Chase and Kris have always had a back and forth type of relationship which you see quite a bit of in the first two books. Chase is convinced nothing can happen between them but gets insanely jealous and claims Kris as his if she even shows attention to someone else remind her she is his. Chase has to leave because of a deal he made to help Angel. He doesn’t want to leave Kris but it’s something he has to do. Usually he comes back but this time he chose not to look back. Kris couldn’t believe he left the way he did and now has been gone for eight years so she did what she had to do and moved on the best she could. What she wasn’t expecting, the day of her brothers wedding was to see Chase again after so long. Kris wants nothing to do with him and Chase just wants to win her back. Will they work through their issues or will Kris be unable to forgive him for everything?

This book was a great ending to the series. I had wanted to see more of their relationship and couldn’t wait to read this book. There’s also a lot of underlying suspense in the book that keeps you on the edge of your seat wondering what is going to happen. I loved this book and series!

Tangles by Sharleen Scott – Review by Angela Hayes

TanglesTangles by Sharleen Scott
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

 

Tangles by Sharleen Scott is a little bit different to the other books of hers that I’ve read. I really loved ‘The Caught” series, so when I saw she had released this book, I was intrigued to see what it was all about. The blurb gives a tiny taste of what you can expect from this story. But it doesn’t convey how much heartbreak and emotion this story contains.
Alzheimer’s is a tough subject to write about, as there are so many people who are living it, and have felt the impact of this horrible disease- whether it’s being diagnosed personally or seeing a loved one succumb to it, Alzheimer’s leaves a huge impact.
This story is more than an Alzheimer’s story- it’s about family, secrets, discoveries, questions, truth, forgiveness, and understanding. Tangles follows Logan, who takes on the responsibility of caring for his mother after his father suddenly passes away- as she has Alzheimer’s. He faces many challenges and experiences many conflicting emotions as he grapples with their situation. But things are compounded when he discovers her old journals which cause him to question everything he thought he knew. What do the journals reveal? How does that affect Logan? What will he discover?
I loved Logan and his mother Lois- they are wonderful characters. I really felt for them both, but especially Logan. The story was really well written and felt very realistic, believable, and relatable. My emotions definitely got a workout with this story.
Looking forward to seeing what Ms. Scott does next.

Thank you, Ms. Scott!

Rogue Wave (The Inland Seas Series Book 2) by Gwyn McNamee is a great addition to this series. It is a fast paced and action packed tale that will have you restless on the edge of your seat. The characters are complicated and fierce but also have many many layers but once you peel them back you can see into their hearts. I enjoyed book one but this book had me feeling so much more for our two main characters and their stories. I am glad we got to peel back Cutters layers and that what we found was a man who has the same fears, self doubts and hurts and is afraid to go after what he thinks he could never have.

Valentina is not afraid to call you out and tell you how it is. What she does not like however, is to be disrespected and you can bet your bottom dollar the man who infuriates her is also the same man who sets her heart on fire.

Gwyn has written a story that is a great read and has a great plot which is complemented with the strong characters she has given us. I look forward to the next installment.

I read a few books from this author and this one has been the best so far. This is the last book of the Shattered Heart series. My favorite genre is second chance romance and it exceeded all my expectations. I was so excited when this book came out I started it immediately. It only took
me a few hours to devour this incredible book.

Kris and Chase has been friends for a long time. They did everything together. One night they take their relationship to the next level. They have an unforgettable night together. Chase gets a job that makes him leave Kris’s life but she knows he will be back. It is now eight years later and Kris is finally ready to move on from Chase. She is happy with her new life. Kris is in complete shock when she hears that Chase is back. She still has deep feelings for him but is he the same man she onced loved?

I absolutely loved this book. This storyline has it all romance, mystery, and some suspense. You can’t help but to fall in love with these characters. Kris is a beautiful woman that is very independent. She has some walls up due to her past. Chase is a good guy deep down inside. He will do anything to see Kris happy. These characters have some steamy scenes that will make your temperature rise. This talented author will have you at the edge of your seat until the end. I can’t wait to see what this author will write next.

All That’s Left Unsaid by Rowena Holloway is a mystery story that is intriguing. It is a story of secrets and lies but who is telling the truth and how do you tell the lies. The story has many many facets where it will keep you on your toes with twists and manipulation. It is set in Italy and the characters are “interesting”. The more there are answers the more there are questions.

Harriet is a strong and independent woman and doesn’t see eye to eye with her mother, lets just say their relationship is complicated but when her mother mentions concerns, the journalist in Harriet is intrigued. What she finds is so much more than she ever thought. The more she digs deeper the more mysterious it becomes.

Rowena as spun a story that is a dangerous web but one that will keep you guessing right to the very end.

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

The Fisher Men Xing Lines: (Standalone Romantic Comedy: A hot new twist on the odd couple) by Rebel Nicks O’Dey has become my new favourite series so far. I love the Fisher men and what they stand for and how they were raised. They all have their unique quirks and it is a pleasure to read their stories. Rebel has done a great job making the characters perfectly flawed and I just love the concept and storyline. Her writing has almost a soothing affect even with all the ups and downs and heart wrenching scenes that occur.

Rika needs a place to stay and has landed with a roommate who is hardly ever there. They develop a friendship but have never actually met in the year she has been there. When they do meet sparks ignite and opposites attract. I love the friendship and banter they share and the other brothers and Sam, they often have me laughing out loud and certainly enjoying going on this journey with them.

Connor likes everything just so, so when he does a favour for his best friend his world is turned upside down. After what seems like a life time he finally meets the one thing that turned his life on its axis and discovers he wants so much more.

If you don’t get into this series asap you will kick yourself when you do.

Darcy’s Caution (Pride & Prejudice & Racecars Book 3)
By: Zoe Burton
5 out of 5 stars

This story tells of racing, romance, and some of the hazards that are faced by those who live that life. The story unfolds as someone is stalking the couple and Liz suddenly disappears. This page turner leaves the reader needing to know what happens next. This thriller should be on everyone’s must read list. Zoe Burton has driven us into the unpredictable world of racing and the reader will not be disappointed.
I highly recommend this book to anyone who is a suspense or romance reader..or both. Whether you are a fan of racing or not, you will want to read this book!
