Devil’s Claw: A Logan McKenna Mystery/Thriller Book 3 (The Logan McKenna Series) by Valerie Davisson. This author has truly risen to some of my top favorites. This series keeps giving and I love everything it’s got to give. From the drama and mystery to its bits of adventure I love getting lost in its pages with each character. The characters are complex and well developed, pulling readers in completely and making them one not want it to end and two coming back for more and more. I found myself on the edge of my seat trying to read faster and slower all at once. Even the smallest details are focused on and well developed. I like the authors writing style and I I can wait to see where this author takes readers next. Four big stars and highly recommended!

EverMarked by AJ Eversley. This year I promised myself I’d step outside of my comfort zone in the reading world. This story falls in that category for me and I truly wasn’t disappointed. The storyline is well written and paced nicely, well thought out. The author builds a story world people would gladly be lost in for a few hours. It’s an interesting storyline that kept me intrigued and has me wanting more. The characters are complex and easy to connect with. I’m looking forward to more from this author and getting lost in another great book. Four stars and highly recommended.

Just One Song (Just One... Book 2)Just One Song by Lynn Stevens
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

When your dreams become reality, are they really what you expected?

Cami is hoping to graduate from High school and the escape to the big city to pursue her career in music but one day a music legend comes to perform and her life gets turn upside down when he asks her to be one of his backing singers.

Hank is a music legend and is coming to perform in a small town. Cami is excited to be part of this spectacular and is hoping to learn from the great rock legend but there’s one probably he is not a nice person. Cami is then drawn to his son Dylan who has taken her under his wing, the chemistry is in abundance but can his manic life add love into the mix, you will have to read to find out.

This is the first story I have read in this series and by this author, it works well as a stand alone but I would love to read the first book in this series to get the groundwork for the story and characters involved.

The story is one of first chances, what ifs, angst and inevitable characters who want to ruin everything. The story is well written and develops into a beautiful story which I could not put down, the two main characters compliment each other brilliantly and you are willing them to have a happily ever after story.

I recommend this book, it’s an easy read with a great storyline. I can’t wait to read the first installment and the next in the series.

Road Tripped (Satan’s Devils MC Utah #1) by Manda Mellett

Holy Cow What a story . Road Tripped is a wonderfully written story with twists and turns that literally had me on the edge. I had to know what was going to happen next but at times didn’t see it coming. Im literally running out of things to say about this Author, she’s my absolute favorite especially when it comes to MC. You guys if you haven’t started any of the Satan’s Devils MC you definitely need to. I promise you won’t be disappointed. So this is the first book in the Utah chapter of the Satan’s Devils MC. For fear of accidentally leaking a spoiler I’m simply going to say this. Drummer sends the main character out to Utah to see why they are being so secretive but what he discovers no one seen coming. One click this book I highly recommend, not just this book but absolutely any book by this Author. I can’t wait to read more from this series like I need the next book now.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

What a great way to start a spin-off series! Road Tripped is the first book in the Satan’s Devils MC Utah series by Manda Mellett. In this book we start off in Tucson with Roadrunner aka Road. Drummer, the President of the Tucson chapter sends Road on a little road trip up to Utah to visit that chapter to clear his head and see what they are up to. Road was at the point of tasting victory when one accident cleared him of that. That one accident took every bit of his dream, so where does he go from here? Now, the Utah chapter is pretty different from all the others. Here he meets, Swift and boy does she take him for a loop. Not only does she take him for a loop, but so does the entire Utah chapter. Will learning about this club put him in danger of life or will it be just what he needs in order to find his way again? This book was better than I thought it would be. I was pulled in from the get go and couldn’t put it down. There was this constant mystery of who this Utah chapter really is and whether or not Road will leave alive. Not to mention this attraction to a woman that he has no business being attracted to. All of the characters and their back stories were amazing. There were so many twists and turns to make me want to continue to read the book. I cannot wait for the next book to come out!

Sweet Temptations: The Boss’s Daughter by L.M. Mountford
Hosted by Itsy Bitsy Book Bits
Genre – Dark Romance/Erotica
Page Count – 55 Pages

He thought his temptations were over, but they were only just beginning…

Until last week, Richard Martin was just another middle-aged guy. Married to a wife he loved, father to a son he adored, stuck in a dead-end job, just counting the days go by…

Then everything changed.

He made a mistake.

Now to save his marriage, he’s going to have to pay the price.

There’s just one problem, Scarlet Holmes.

His Supervisor.

She loves to play games with her staff and now, seeming very aware of his little secret, she wants to play a game.

And she always gets what she wants.

Because she just so happens to be The Boss’s Daughter.

The Boss’s Daughter is the sinfully tempting and long awaited sequel to L.M. Mountford’s debut, Sweet Temptations: The Babysitter. It can be read as a stand alone but it’s highly recommend you read Book 1. Full of tension and grippingly intense scenes, this next instalment in the Sweet Temptations Series reminds every one by he has been dubbed The Lord of Lust.

This is not my typical book choice to read. I found this book an interesting guide on how to book. I have to admit I know a lot about copyright, but never know the other end of the book world. This shows the way to put together a book that one day you could possibly publish your own book. If you have ever had a dream of publishing a book, I would recommend reading this book as a starting block on your way to publishing a book.

I’m a huge fan of Manda Mellett and I get way too excited for her releases. I have loved all the Satan’s Devils chapters and I’m was so excited to dive right in the Utah chapter. This was a story that I wasn’t expecting and it took me by complete surprise but I loved every second of it. There was so much to this story such as lies, deceit, so many questions, and anything that can keep you on the edge of your seat. I’m so excited for this series! It definitely started off with a bang!

The way this book was written was captivating. I liked the timeline of the way the events were portrayed. This was a very eye opening story with the state of the world today and seeing the views in a different perspective, to me, is always a positive thing. Lisa did a fantastic job creating the characters and the city’s and town’s we visited through out this story. If you are looking for a story that is more real life than not, mysterious, has characters you think you may have known if a past life, this is definitely a read for you.

I’ve never read any books on how to start getting a book published before. Nor have I read anything by Danielle Ackley-McPhail. I’ve always toyed with the idea of writing a book but never knew where to start or how to formulate any of the ideas in my head. The fact she has checklists and reminders of things not to do is amazing. This definitely makes me want to get back to trying to write a book! Build-A-Book Workshop was incredibly informative about pieces of the designing process for books.

Will Olivia’s past come back to haunt her? Absolutely loved this book and could not put it down. Cannot wait for the second book in the series .

I loved reading the book Kickflip Summer by Danielle Jacks. It is an amazing romance story that pulled me in from the beginning. I loved the characters of Kara and Bear. Kara is a young woman who is smart, strong, and independent. For her last summer before university, she has decided to follow her best friend Toby and work in the Blue Oaks Theme Park. Then she meets Bear. Bear is a young man whose passion is skateboarding. He is not thrilled at the idea of going home. He finds himself very attracted to Kara. Is what is happening between Kara and Bear just a summer fling or is it turning into something more? Read this book to find out. The story has romantic moments as well as funny moments that made me laugh out loud. I grew to care about what happens to Kara and Bear with each chapter that I read. I wanted them to find happiness. I also enjoyed reading about the additional characters that are introduced. I loved the character of Toby who is Kara’s best friend. They make sure to look out for one another. The author does a wonderful job of making you fall in love with the characters and making the story come alive. Don’t miss out on a wonderful romance story that you will not be able to put down until the final page. I highly recommend reading it.

Once again another Tamara book that I have fallen in love with. This one had a unique storyline that leads you to believe one thing that seems obvious yet turns into not obvious at all and much more complicated.

This story almost felt personal to me, first because it is set near my hometown and even mentions things that I actually know about. It also has 2 main characters named Ashley and Brian. I read this on the exact day of my daughter Ashley and her husband Brian’s anniversary. So that was kinda weird in a way.

I don’t even have words to describe this authors’ books anymore, I feel like I’ve said them all in other reviews. She’s an automatic one click for me and always will be, no matter the topic. Her books just make me feel comfortable because when i pick them up I know I’ll feel like I’m home !

I truly loved this story and hope you will pick up this series which does not have to be read in order to follow but read them regardless, they are all amazing!

Road Tripped (Satan's Devils MC Utah #1)Road Tripped by Manda Mellett
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

In Road Tripped, we are introduced to the Utah chapter of Manda Mellett’s Satan’s Devils MC. Wow! I had been a bit sceptical – were there not enough Satan’s Devils chapters already? – but Utah really adds something new to the series and a whole new family of characters to get to know.
Swift is fantastic! Possibly my favourite character in the series so far. She is so cool and skilled and strong, but the thing that sealed the deal for me was when she reveals that she has Yorkshire Tea shipped over to America by her British parents. As a resident of Yorkshire, I have been known to bring a few boxes of our superior tea to relatives across the pond!
Something that really stands out in this book was the representation of disabilities. There are multiple characters with different disabilities, and these are represented sensitively and consistently. Road, for example, has a damaged knee from an accident. He can’t ride for more than a few hours at a go, so when he’s riding a longer distance it takes a few days as he needs to stop along the way. But over a short distance he’s faster than any of the other bikers. If he’s been standing for too long, someone usually notices and offers him a chair. We see him taking painkillers, using a walking stick, strapping his knee and doing physio exercises. Mostly, this is peripheral to the story and the action but it feels realistic and representative.
This book definitely gets five stars from me! I cannot WAIT to read more about the Utah chapter. Is it a good place to come into the series? I feel like I enjoyed it more having read some of the main Tucson series in particular, to get to know people like Drummer and Blade. You absolutely could jump in here though, as we get enough background for everything to make sense.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Aimed at authors planning on self publishing, those about to venture into the independent publishing market and those already running small presses who want to improve this book is a
“guide to understanding the basic elements of professional book layout”. ‘Build-A-Book Workshop’ is book two in Danielle Ackley-McPhail’s ‘Literary Handyman’ series and is obviously written by someone who has years of experience in book design and layout. Ackley-McPhail has very cleverly made what is a very complicated process into an easy to read and understand book. The short book is packed full of helpful ideas and insider tips with each chapter concentrating on a particular aspect of the process. The layout of this particular book, as you would expect, is very clear and easy to understand. The glossary of terms at the end of the book is particularly useful as is the appendix pointing out the mistakes the author herself has made in the past and how to overcome them. Although a great handbook on its own I think it would work well with the first book in the series as well. I found this to be an extremely interesting and useful book and I can see myself referring back to it and having a re-read of particular chapters as required.

This is the first book I have read from this author and she now has a new fan. I love a good rockstar romance but she exceeded all my expectations. This is the second book of the Just One series. I read this book as a stand alone but after reading this story I have to go back and read the first one as well. Once I started this book I could put it down until the end. The characters draw you right in the beginning. It took me only a few hours to devour this incredible book.

Cami Harris just got out of high school and she wants to leave her hometown to become a famous singer. She is so excited when one of the best rockstar’s comes to Branson. Cami gets to be a backup singer for Hank at some of his shows. She is happy to learn from the best even if he is a jerk. Cami meets Hank’s son Dylan and sparks start to fly. She is happy that Dylan is taking her under his wing and showing her the famous life. Cami starts falling for Dylan but is he feeling the same way? Is Cami ready to be famous or does she realize she needs to stay home and take care of her family?

I loved this anthology. This is a collection of eight authors who put together eight romance stories that will pull at your heart strings. I found some of my favorite authors and also a couple of new authors. One of my favorites is Two Hearts Truce. This is a story of learning to trust again once a heart has been broken and being able to move forward. Another one of my favorites is Bayou Cottage. This is a story about second chances. What does fate have in store for Maggie. There is something for everyone in this book and I know you will find a favorite or two too. This is a must read anthology written by some awesome authors.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Hero High: Heartbreak Rebellion by Mina Chara is the second book in the Hero High Collections. This is a brilliant collection of books that will grab your attention and simply not let go. This is books 4-6 in the series so I would definitely recommend reading the others ones first.
I think the author has done an amazing job of creating such a strong and interesting series. Each of the books are great in their own right, resulting in an overall amazing series. The characters are all so well written and you really do engage with them. It is so easy to picture them all as if you are right their alongside them.
Each of the stories in these books kept me interested for different reasons. They are clearly part of the same series but all have a slightly different feel about them. It helped to keep them separate in my mind while also keeping them cohesive and flowing well. This is a brilliant series and if you are a fan of this genre I would high recommend them!

Accountability (Scope of Practice #3)Accountability by Jessica Aiken-Hall
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is book 3 in the Scope of Practice series and its just as good as the first two.

It carries on with the story of Val and the ladies from her trauma group.
Now  Val is married to Tim and she has her son Gabe in her life with her group of friends her life seems perfect. Until one early morning phone call changes all that and turns her world upside down.

Now feeling strong enough she also decides it is now time to hold Dr Chad Ross accountable for his actions against her and feels with her support network she has the strength to now do that.

However when her support network starts to get smaller will Val stick with the original plan to get justice the normal and right way or will she be tempted to take matters into her own hands.

The book is a very emotional story which deals with historical abuse and dealing with grief. It is really well written and the action will keep you gripped all the way through.

Deadly Weapon (Jake Wolfe #5)Deadly Weapon by Mark Nolan
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Deadly Weapon by Mark Nolan is the fifth book in the Jake Wolfe series. This book can be read as a standalone although I would recommend reading it in order as it follows the same character throughout and I feel you would miss of a lot of the previous development.
I found this book to be a really intense and thrilling story to read. I instantly got straight back into the character of Jake, almost like I had gone from one book straight into the next. Their new mission is one that is scarily close to home right now but for me I think that just made it all the better. You couldn’t help but draw parallels between the 2. But the credit really does have to go to the author for creating a book that feels so real that it is like you are there with Jake.
This series really is a fantastic one to read. Each book just gets better and better and I am always excited to pick up the next book. I would definitely highly recommend not just this book but the series as a whole!

Drifting, Falling -- Diary of a Call Girl SuicideDrifting, Falling — Diary of a Call Girl Suicide by A.J. Ullman
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Drifting, Falling: Diary of a Call Girl Suicide, by A.J Ullman was unlike any book I’ve read before.
The story is of Ripley, a troubled girl who has suffered through several traumas that led to the life she has now. All she wants is to feel in control, and this story depicts the planning of her own death. Ripley is smart and courageous, her childhood dreams of being an astronaut fills her mind and she wishes for a life a million miles away from the one she’s living. Planning her death gives Ripley the element of control she longs for.
Ripley is a relatable character, perhaps not because of her traumas or current lifestyle, but because underneath it all she is a funny girl, layered with sarcasm, witty remarks and vulnerability. I just wanted her to find help, and to take control of her life in a different way, by living her dreams.
No spoilers here, but as expected there are twists and turns throughout this story that will keep you guessing and turning the pages.

Rescued by Valan by Jennifer SIddoway is the second book in the Pirates of Barra: Highland Raiders series. This is a well written and exciting book with just the right amount of romance to it. This book can be read as a standalone.
Overall I have to say I definitely enjoyed this book. I liked the clear difference in the main characters: the sweet innocence of Bridget and the experience and rawness of Valan. Even though on paper they wouldn’t work at all the author did a good job of them complimenting each other.
The story I found to be engaging and knew how to keep me interested. It definitely felt exciting to read although there were a few times where it felt like it could have done with just a bit more depth. However if you want something that you can lose yourself in for a few hours and have a great time then you should read this book.

The characters are such strong characters that for me they really carried this book. I loved the feisty and strong side you get to see of them and how well that worked with their connection. The story itself felt exciting and like the author really knew how to keep you guessing. It meant that I did struggle to put it down once I had started reading it and finished it in one sitting.
This is a great addition to the series I am looking forward to seeing what is next.
