Forbidden by Autumn Sand made me feel like a voyeur looking in a window at the neighbors. I have read several books by Ms. Sand, enjoyed them but knew she wasn’t the rainbow love type of author and she proved it once again.
Each one of the doors was a different story with a different plot and was incredibly well written. Of them all I liked door one the best, just something about the story that grabbed me.
If you want to peek into the lives of others and have time for a short book then give this one a try.
I was excited to read this book. The book starts with us going into club Forbidden, we meet Neria who is our hostess. She takes us through the club to seven doors, behind each door there is a different sexual scenario.
We get some very hot and steamy scenes that include some erotica as well. We also get some unexpected twists that added great elements to each story. Autumn does a great job of pulling you right in, once I started I couldn’t stop reading. This is a quick read that should be read with an open mind. I look forward to reading the next book.
Rebel Jewel is the third and final book in the Jewel Chronicles by Natalina Reis. This is a wonderful conclusion to this series full of excitement, adventure, drama and love. I would highly recommend you read this series in order to get the full back story. The first two books, Desert Jewel and Snow Jewel, are excellent reads. Melinda and Jaali are pulled out of exile to save the people of Natale, but at a high cost to their family and wellbeing. I find that the world that Ms. Reis created for this series is beautiful and scary at the same time. Once you start reading, this book won’t let you go. I was propelled to stay up later than usual just to finish, and it was well worth being tired all day today. I highly recommend this book, series and author and look forward to reading more from her in the future. Review by @sunbarn

Virtue & Vice (Spicetopia Book 2) By Phoebe Alexander. This author always seems to leave me in an awed state of wonder. While I can definitely say she knows how to write a steamy story she also knows how to give you so many layers to the storyline. I recommend reading these in order trust me they are both equally worth it. All of the characters pulled me right into their world and honestly I didn’t want to leave. They have strong friendships and I loved each character for different reasons. This author knows how to capture readers from page one , heck from word one most of the time. If you’re looking for something unique and steamy but has a killer storyline to I highly recommend this series and this author. Five stars all the way.
Abby and Gabrielle Levesque are identical twins….in looks only! In personality, not so much! Abby is level headed, responsible, always taking care of herself and her sister. She makes sure all the bills are paid and that they somehow keep a roof over their head. The twins inherited their grandmother’s house after she passed and it’s become difficult to keep up on payments and keep the utilities on. It’s especially difficult when her sister is so irresponsible. She’s out with a different guy every night, can’t hold a job, and never remembers to pay bills when she’s supposed to. When she blows off yet another job, the consequence is a case of mistaken identity and a spur of the moment trip to Paris by Abby with Gabrielle’s boss!
Hudson Quinn is Gabrielle’s super-hot, super aggravating, billionaire boss. He has no idea he has grabbed the wrong sister and taken her to Paris as his personal assistant. If he finds out the truth, will he fire “Abby”? What will come of the twins and Abby’s ever increasing feelings for Gabrielle’s boss? This is a great story of mistaken identity. It brings the questions “what are you willing to do for money” and “what are you willing to do to save your childhood memories” to light. I loved this story and the characters and settings depicted throughout. I am looking forward to more of Avery Scott’s works!

Forbidden is a short book. It’s basically a story per chapter. Every door at forbidden gives you a different story. There’s something for everyone. Some of these were amazing reads. I have never read anything by this author that had this amount of heat. This is definitely worth a chance. I’m sure you will find a few of these that you will enjoy. I hope Autumn gives her readers more books like this one.
A great read, I felt I got to know these characters pretty well. Abby is the responsible twin between her sister Gabrielle and herself, but when Abby is left to cover a trip for her sister, she doesn’t expect Hudson. I really enjoyed the drama rollercoaster this book took me on. Will be reading more from this author in the future.

Forbidden (Tales of Passion, Lust & Betrayal Vol. 1) by Autumn Sand 4 stars
Let me start by saying, this is a one click author for me and ive loved every single thing she’s written. But this one, while its her writing style, it also wasn’t. I’m used to the character development and deep stories and this one didn’t do that for me. Its very different and i’ve not read anything like this before. Dive into different fantasies and choose the door you like the most.
Hmmmm. How does one review this book? This is a novella that contains 7 short stories. Each story is a stand alone with a beginning, middle, and end. What they have in common is the narrator who introduces the story.
Each story is a “forbidden” tale that is meant to titillate and excite. An enjoyable quick read on a Friday night.
Paladin’s Hell: Satan’s Devils MC (Colorado Chapter) #1 by Manda Mellett
5 out of 5stars
This isn’t my first read by this author and she didn’t disappoint me in Paladin’s Hell the first book in the Satan’s Devils MC Colorado Chapter written by Ms. Mellett. The characters are great especially since we have already met them. They are well written, and I loved the plot. Jayden and Paladin relationship has been building through-out the Satan’s Devil series. They met two years ago she has been in love with him as he is in love with her. Paladin gave her time grow and had to wait years for her because she was to young. He knew without a doubt she was his girl. Now they’re on their way to a new compound in Colorado away from overprotective brothers they finally have a chance to be together or so they thought. Jayden and Paladin are just beginning a new club, a new life. But things are different here he doesn’t fit in and he is out of his depth. So instead of the beginning is it the end?
For some reason, Hellfire the president and Moira his old lady wants to force Jayden and I apart. They have been married for thirty-six years and their marriage is on shaky ground spills over into how they treat them. Is it because they see themselves in the younger couple or can it be their just miserable and don’t want to see anyone around them happy? Will they make it work or will outside forces break them apart? Will they get their happily ever-after? You must read this great book and find out. I highly recommend this book….

Let’s take a tour of the club Forbidden. Forbidden is full of Passion, Lust & Betrayal behind every door. There are seven different doors in the club each with a different fantasy that gets hotter and sexier each time. You will feel like you have stepped into each door and are watching the scenes play out in front of you. Autumn’s writing is that detailed and I swear steam was coming from my kindle. If you are like me and like your book a little on the extra steamy side then you need to read this sexy novella.
I was hooked from the very beginning! Wendy Hewlett jumped right in with some difficult topics but has pulled it off in such an amazing and humanizing way. Ailey is one of the most believable characters I’ve read. She hasn’t had an easy time of it, but she doesn’t let that stop her from rediscovering herself. Such a good story of redemption and family. Solid work. 4 stars.

Friend (What Happens on Campus Series Book 3) by M L Sparrow
4-Stars
Friend (What Happens on Campus Series Book 3) by M L Sparrow is a great read. It can not be read as a standalone and must be read in order with the other books of the series. I love that it highlights Jet and Terrie in this novel. The storyline focuses on how their friendship changes after a traumatic event happens to Terri. She struggles with her personal bubble and self esteem greatly after being attacked. She was a very realistic character and so was Jet. I really enjoyed their development.
This book was easy to follow and organized well. I had no problem distinguishing when Jet was the lead or when Terri was the lead. It was also edited well. I love the cover the author chose for this novel. I really enjoyed reading this novel.

Rebel Jewel is the third Book in The Jewel Chronicles series. I will say if you haven’t already read the first two books in this series then I would definitely recommend reading them first as having the whole story and all the back information will definitely make the enjoyment that much better. In this story we get more action, suspense, drama, and more twists and turns that had me on the edge of my seat trying to figure out what happens next. Milenda and Jaali embark on most dangerous quest yet and there’s a lot at stake. What will happen if they fail?

Rebel Jewel The Jewel Chronicles Book 3 By Natalina Reis ☆☆☆☆☆ Being the last book in this series, I recommend you start at book 1. As it holds all the information you will need to get caught up to book 3. Yes there is so much more than book 3. Rebel Jewel is the finale, the end, of a fantastic series.
Milenda and her husband Jaali, are the main characters in this journey. I say journey as that is what it is. You will watch these two people grow and concur many struggles. Don’t get me wrong, these characters have a great story to tell. Come meet their friends and enemies, follow the tough road with Milenda and Jaali. You will find good times as well as bad. But I promise this is a series you will not want to miss.
Natalina Reis has written quite the book of emotions, struggle and love. Her finale really sent this loving couple through the wringer. Her characters, their friends and even enemies play an important role in this book. This being the final book in the series. Natalia Reis really brings it all together. Therefore you must read the first 2 books. To see how she brought it all together for her finale. I truly loved this story. I am so happy I started with book one. Just so I could read how it all ended. You can be sure I will be seeking more from Natalia Reis. Her series is a must read! Thank you for the journey Natalia Reis!

Secrets Never Die by Laurie Lewis is a book jammed packed with suspense and mystery. It grabs your complete attention right from the beginning and doesn’t ever let go. Laurie Lewis has created the kind of story has you on the edge of your seat trying to guess what might be happening. The story is full of twists and turns the whole way through and yet she does such a good job at controlling them all it is easy to keep track of what is happening. The characters were brilliant as well. They are the type that you just want to read more about. I would definitely not be disappointed if we were taken back into their lives at any point. This is a 5* author and an amazing book!

San Diego Dead is the fourth book in the Jake Wolfe series by Mark Nolan. It is a thrilling mystery- with action, adventure, drama, danger, tension, twists & turns, assassins, cartels, narcoterrorists, violence, murder, gun fights, kidnapping, explosions, sharks, a high-stakes and dangerous game of cat and mouse…. and more. We team up with Jake Wolfe (lawyer, ex-marine, and covert operative), and his genius ex war dog, Cody, as they set out to solve this mystery and save the day. Trouble seems to find Jake- and this story is no exception- as his holiday to unwind and relax takes a dangerous turn. He soon finds that he, Cody, and the ones they hold dear, are all in the sights of a dangerous cartel boss who has a twisted agenda that will put a lot of people in serious danger. Jake and Cody, with the help of some loyal friends , unravel the puzzle piece by piece- and set about hunting down a very important package before it gets into the wrong hands. The tension and danger mounts- as the enemy will stop at nothing to get what they want. As expected, this is a fast paced story with lots of twists and surprising developments. I was hooked right from the beginning, reading it all in one sitting just to find out how it all plays out. The story is told from multiple POV’s- and even Cody, the dog has a perspective. This gave me a richer reading experience, because I had so much more information to work with. As with all the books in this series, the characters are fantastic- they are really well developed and fully realised characters with their own quirky personalities. I especially love how incredibly detailed and developed Cody’s personality is- it’s this attention to detail that really sets this book/s apart from others in the same genre! There were a few minor issues in this book which I haven’t seen occur in any of the other books- and has left me a little puzzled. Things I can’t go into in too much detail because I don’t want to give away any of the storyline. But as an example- Jake helps someone out of a hole, lifting them to his shoulders, before setting them down onto solid ground- then in the very next sentence he is in the hole with that person and lifting them out and onto the ground. So which way is it? It’s as if there were parts of the story where Mr. Nolan hadn’t fully decided which way he wanted to write it and so wrote both ways, maybe thinking to go back later and edit out one scenario and leave the other in- but some got missed in the process and so now we have two versions play out in the story. This didn’t really affect my enjoyment of the book, but I was ‘pulled out’ of the story when I came across them and had to re-read them just to be sure I hadn’t missed anything and was reading it right. The story can definitely be read as a standalone- but there are recurring characters, elements, and details from previous books which are mentioned in passing in this story- so if you were to read all three of the other books before starting on this one, you would definitely have a richer and more enhanced experience of “San Diego Dead”. There were quite a few emotional scenes through this book which made my heart ache. And even though the ‘romantic’ aspect of this book is secondary to the thriller/mystery, we watch as Jake and Sarah’s relationship hits a few rocky patches. So do they work things out, or will they part ways forever? I also appreciated the interesting and informative ‘letter’ from the author at the end of the book. As it gave me even more to think about, while adding a personal touch to the story as well. I LOVE all the book covers on this series- and I think this is my favourite one yet! I can’t wait to see what Jake and Cody get up to next!

The Bad Twin: A Mistaken Identity Billionaire Romance is a great contemporary romance novel from Avery Scott. I had previously read The First Lady and Too Hot To Handle by this author and had loved them both so I had high hopes for this book. Added to the fact that the blurb was just right up my street then there was no way that I was not going to love this book. I’m so glad to say that my gut reaction was correct. I loved this book. This is the ultimate case of mistaken identity. Abby Levesque lives with her identical twin Gabrielle in their grandmother’s old house which they are at risk of losing. When Gabby’s boss Hudson turns up at their house he mistakes Abby for Gabby and demands that she accompanies him on a work trip to Paris or she will lose her job. What’s a girl to do? Abby goes with him and pretends to be her sister as they really need the money to save their house. I have to say that I loved both Abby and Hudson. Abby is ‘the good twin’ and just wants to do what’s right to help her family. Hudson just wants his father to be proud of him. I loved the interactions between the 2, especially when Hudson asked questions about their trip which Abby had no clue to the answer as Gabby had been the one who did the organising, so she just looked to be stupid and incompetent. So what would happen when Hudson finds out that it isn’t his assistant Gabby who has been with him? Especially as he had come to like the version of Gabby he had seen on the trip. I’m not going to spoil that for you, you’ll just have to read The Bad Twin to find out. It won’t disappoint!

I give Rebel Jewel (The Jewel Chronicles Book 3) by Natalina Reis, 4 stars. **This review contains spoilers from previous books in series.**
Milenda is happy with her husband and son, living in her husband’s lands where no one knows she is a princess. But she knows it cannot last. Her people need her and the gods have declared that it is time. Can she defeat the elders and help free her people? Is she ready to step up and accept the responsibility of being the royal princess and future queen? But revolution does not come without a cost, is she willing to pay the price?
I forgot how much I loved Milenda and this series, but this book quickly reminded me of that. There is so much that happens and Milenda continues to grow and become who she is meant to be. Not mention the friends — both new and old — that are willing to stand by her and help her. I couldn’t believe how good the story itself was. It is a great conclusion to this series.
The book should be read after the previous books in the series, but I highly recommend not only this book, but the whole series.

When I first started this book I was so excited and got completely invested pretty quick. I truly enjoyed this book and would recommend it. It was a bit predictable and didn’t go as I thought it would but it was a fun story to read.
This is not my first book by this author and as always I enjoy her writing style and her stories always flow smoothly making them really easy to read. This I believe is only my second book ever with the twin mix up and as I said it felt predictable, I really liked Abby and found that I could connect with her, but I never really liked Hudson, I’m not sure if maybe it was just not enough development or what but I just never cared for him all the way through the book.
I really am looking forward to reading more from this author, as stated above, I like her writing style, and so far each book I have read by her has been different and does not follow a common thread each time, which I appreciate.

Kira spending the summer with her sister, meets Jamie and wants him to be her summer fling. Together these two both with pasts that hurt him bring out side that they both need and enjoy! The question is, can they both let go of the past and hit a homerun together? I love this book, I love the two main characters so much and Jamie’s family simply seal the deal for me. I wish the book was longer because I hated to see it end! I highly recommend this read and give it 4 stars.

Forbidden (Tales of Passion, Lust & Betrayal Vol. 1) by Autumn Sand. Let me just say Autumn Sand is one of my favorite authors. This book is amazing. Its pretty short and pretty HOT! Its about a club named Forbidden which is an exclusive club. Not just everyone can get in. Neria is the hostess and there are 7 doors that you can enter that all lead to tantalizing pleasures that seem to get steamier and steamier as you progress. There are emotions involved as well that suck you in and of course the characters you come to care about. If you like Hot & Spicy reads then this is the book for you! Read Forbidden you won’t regret it!
I could NOT put this book down! It’s a late into the night read! This is filled with wonderful loving and crazy characters. I enjoyed how this is told from various characters as the story moves along. I loved going through all of this strangeness with Claire. Learning about the Fae life and the power and the men.
I am not a fan of reverse harem books. I have read this author before and love her work so i figured i would give it a try. (Go KU) The love portion is So HOT….beware it will burn your fingers turning those pages!! When these characters get together..the elements and emotions are flying high. Titus?!? And his fire magic in the kitchen?? I need ICE CUBES! STAT!!
The author does a great job making me look at these relationships differently. I can easily see the burning heat and raw passion from Titus and it seems that Exos is more pure. Not saying he can’t heat things up but he loves kissing her forehead and touching her…much more cuddling. I wonder what her other relationships will be like.
The book ends on a small cliffhanger…only if you read the Epilogue. If you stop after the last chapter everything ends just fine. The author is gearing up for book 2.
Overall this is much more than I thought it would be. The story is very good and interesting. The idea is novel and the characters are alpha, sexy and smart. This is a good start to a new series.

Foss & J.R. Thorn – Review by Lisa Helmick
Rebel Jewel (The Jewel Chronicles Book 3) by Natalina Reis is an action packed fantasy story and the final suspenseful chapter in this series and a culmination of an intense journey the characters have been through. I suggest reading all the books in order because they do follow on from the others. The vibrant world that Natalina has created is easily visible with the wonderful characters and her word smithing. The danger is inherent and very real, the love and hope pops of the page, the drama and adventure pops of the page and you are left navigating some curly twists to help the characters get their goal and their lives.
In this installment we see Milenda and Jaali called to return to a world where slaves live in fear and torment and the Elders need to be taken down. Bringing back all the horrible memories and injustices that are being inflicted upon their countrymen and women. It is those memories that push them on to make a better life but at what cost?
Natalina ties everything up nicely making it a good finish to the series.

Miami Days, Havana Nights by Linda Bennett Pennell 4 stars!!!!
I have to say that I was quite taken in by this book. This is the second book from this author I have read and I wasn’t disappointed. The author has quite a unique story line. The characters are very realistic. I felt as though I was right there in the book going through all the drama with them.
I really enjoyed seeing how Liz’s story has continued. I really like how the author balances the history she is researching with the present day to tell the story. I do really like to read various genres and this is just what I needed. I really would like to read more from this author in the future.
Miami Days, Havana Nights is the followup to Al Capone at the Blanche Hotel, by Linda Bennett Pennell. It isn’t listed as a series, but I think a lot of character background can be gained from reading them in order. I quickly fell in love with this book, as it was an interesting story (2 actually) and a bit of history. The chapters alternate telling the story of Sam Ackerman and Liz Reams. At the end, they merge, and you get a full picture. While I did like that, because its 2 stories, set nearly 100 years apart, at times I was annoyed I couldn’t see what happened next for another chapter. It was hard to alternate, only because it keeps you in suspense a while longer. Sam is a teenager when he witnesses a murder, and is quickly sent off for his protection. He didn’t even get a chance to say goodbye to his mother, and was sent across the country with not even a change of clothes. But its better than being killed or locked up, so he makes the best of it. He falls in love, to someone forbidden, and must try to cut ties with the mob, but seems to keep getting pulled back in. Liz is a history professor, who’s passion is researching American Crime. She likes to research the unknown, every day man, and write their story and connection with the mob. She is led on quite the dangerous adventure this time, trying to obtain more research. Highly recommend this one. I hope there are more to come in this series! I want to see what happens with Liz and Hugh!

Miami Days, Havana Nights by Linda Bennett Pennell Stars-4
I love how the two stories from different time frames connect with each other. I think that when you have two different stories into one book that it can become confusing. However, integrating both stories was very well done. Each story had characters that became important to me, and I couldn’t wait to see what happens next. I can’t wait to see what happens next for Liz!
Shameless was a good 4 star read and book two in The Orphan Train Saga series. This is an emotional read that will pull you right in. We continue with the story of the Orphan Train with Tobias’s story.
We start with Cindy and her mother finding all the journals and the keys for the boxes. As she and her mother start to read the journals, their relationship starts to change.
We meet Tobias in the first book and we get his story in this one. He has quickly learned how to survive on the streets and ends up joining a gang.When he sees Mileta he is quickly drawn to her and has the need to protect her.
Overall this is a good read and I really enjoyed this story. This series has introduced me to the Orphan Train and I have done some research to learn more. It was such a sad thing and how these children were treated. I highly suggest you read book one in the series before this one, it will help you connect better with the characters and story. I look forward to reading more from this author and series.

Burton – Review by Michelle Austin
Talk about a thrill ride! I jumped into this book/series/adventure without any introduction and boy was I riveted! Action packed and filled to the brim with detail, these pages just absolutely flew right through my fingers. I couldn’t read it or absorb it fast enough. I am so glad this book found its way into my hands. Now I cannot wait to read the rest of the series!
