Road Tripped (Satan’s Devils MC Utah #1) by Manda Mellett – Review by Jennifer Gordon

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

Another great Satan’s Devils MC book by Manda Mellett and this time she introduces us to the Utah chapter of the MC. When MC member Road suffers an injury meaning his successful trial bike competition days are ended his Prez, Drummer sends him on a mission to check out the Utah chapter. Finding the Utah club friendly but secretive Road follows his instructions to discover what is going on behind the scenes at the club. Drummer wanted to be sure that they were following the Satan’s Devils rules and regulations and was hoping that some time away would help Road recover too. However when a series of mishaps occur Road suddenly realises that he might not make it back alive. No Spoilers, as I recommend reading the book. With a fast paced storyline full of suspense, drama and romance and with great characters like Road this book had me hooked from beginning to end. As usual with Mellett’s MC stories they have an added depth to them and also deal with relevant and some times darker issues. I definitely recommend this book, but be warned that it will get you hooked on Mellett’s Satan’s Devils series.

Composed: An Ash Park Novel (Volume 8) by Meghan O’flynn
4 Stars!!!!

Yet again I was brought into the world of Petrosky and the evil that resides in it. I was once again right along side him as he not only investigates the crime but also battles his own demons along the way. I was not disappointed. Although I do have to admit this is not one of my go to genres but I was definitely hooked and each book just gets better and better.

Petrosky has a lot of inner demons he is battling and I like how this helps to form his character but doesn’t distract from the main story. The author has quite a unique style and if you are into serious crime and thrillers then this is definitely the book and series for you. I will definitely be reading more from this author in future.

I have enjoyed reading this series from the very first book. This author has amazing writing skills that draw you in and don’t let go. I could not put this book down once I started reading it. This story has twists and turns, and kept me on the edge of my seat. What these poor women have to go through at the hands of this monster is horrific. Can Petrosky figure out who is doing this in time all while battling his own demons? To find out what happens you must read this great story. This book is so entertaining and gripping that it will keep you turning pages. I highly recommend this book.

Composed is the eighth book in the Ash Park series by Meghan O’Flynn. This whole Series is amazing! If you like murder mystery and psychological thriller’s that are portrayed in brutal and graphic detailed then I highly recommend this book and series to you. The scenes are detailed and the story is mind boggling. These books always keep me guessing until the end. Detective Petrosky is back and this case turns personal when his police chief goes missing. This book can be read as a standalone, but if you love this genre you are going to want to read this whole series.

Enchanted Passion The Protectors Series Book 4Enchanted Passion The Protectors Series Book 4 by Toya Richardson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Enjoyable. I liked the story and the characters. This is the fourth book in the series. While it mostly a stand alone there are references to past books and many characters that come back fo r each book. I have read book 3 and Now book 4. At times I did feel lost but as the story went on I was able to catch up.

The flow of the story is good and it easily kept my interest. I did like the Rhys roommates and how they whine that since Josh left and now Rhys found his “one” they are the few single guys left. This also leads me into the next two characters who get together!!

Distant Heart Sounds (Nurse Morgan Series Book 1) by Kate MacInnis – Review by Jennifer Gordon

Distant Heart SoundsDistant Heart Sounds by Kate MacInnis
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

A paranormal romance which had me both laughing out loud at parts and also hiding behind my cushion at the spooky parts. A fairly short read but with plenty going on with the plot to keep me happily turning the pages. I found it to be an easy and fun read with great characters especially the main character, Morgan, who was very realistic and relatable. Morgan Cutler has been an emergency centre nurse for over twenty years and believes she has seen and heard everything. However when Morgan starts to be able to communicate with the dead following a near death experience the skeptical nurse has to come to terms with the fact that, “ just because you haven’t seen a ghost, it doesn’t mean they aren’t around”. As well as coming to terms with the paranormal world and her new abilities Morgan takes a chance at love with a relationship with an emergency centre doctor who also has psychic abilities. Morgan soon learns that some secrets are best left unseen when she sees the evil inside one mans heart. I liked that the main character was a slightly older lady and I enjoyed how her relationship with the new doctor developed throughout the story. As well as some spooky moments there were also light hearted parts and the storyline flowed along at a good pace and kept me immersed in Morgan’s world. Kate MacInnis is a new author discovery for me and I look forward to reading more books by her.

Finders Reapers (New Orleans Nocturnes, #4)Finders Reapers by Carrie Pulkinen
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Finders Reapers is the 4th book in the New Orleans Nocturnes series by Carrie Pulkinen and as with the previous 3 books in the series, I thoroughly enjoyed it. As someone who loves New Orleans, I really appreciate how descriptive the locations are and I can actually picture myself being there as the action takes place. In this book Jasmine, a necromancer who works at the coroner’s office, must assist Archer, a disgruntled reaper, when the gates to hell are malfunctioning and the malevolent spirits that should be in hell start to take over the city. This book is funny, romantic and a bit steamy at times. It has a wonderful cast of characters that you are introduced to in earlier books. If you like a paranormal comedy romance, then this book is definitely for you.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Shattered by Lisa Wood is Book one of the Rhodes Family series. This book is not a standalone and the books in the series should be read in order.

Olivia never expected she’d be in the position she’s found herself in but now she’s starting over again in New York City. First on her list is to get a new job so she can survive. In walks Gabriel Rhodes. Olivia feels an instant attraction but she’s given up on men and she certainly can’t feel anything for the man interviewing her for a job. Gabriel sees Olivia and knows he will do anything to keep her close. She is definitely skilled enough for the job and he’s throwing in some extra perks to make sure she says yes. Will Gabriel be able to act on his attraction to Olivia or will she stand firm on her no more men decision?

I enjoyed this book! It was a good read and I couldn’t put it down. I read it in one sitting!
I am looking forward to reading book two!

Shattered: Rhodes Family Book 1 by Lisa Wood

If your looking a hot romance but don’t have a lot of time to sit and read this is the book for you to try.

Olivia made me want to shake her a few times. She was so set that she refused to look at the other side or let anyone explain. I know she got burned but to take that strong of a stance I felt was a bit extreme.

Gabriel, oh Gabriel. He’s hot, successful and a man. He decided he knew best and boy did that blow up.

The chemistry between Olivia and Gabriel was intense from the moment they met and only got hotter from there.

I enjoyed this book, already have the next one ready to go in my Kindle.

Shattered (Rhodes Family #1) by Lisa Wood

18+!

This is the first book I’ve read by the author, but it will not be the last. Wood has a way of bringing these sexy characters to life. Rhodes Family was a great series title and I can’t wait for the next ones.

Olivia, Livvie as Gabe calls her, leaves one day and ends up in New York. The first day in town she is hired to work for a law firm. She finds her boss attractive, but has sworn off men. The quote I chose for Olivia is: “Oh my God. I was so angry with him for betraying me. He’s in that hospital bed because of me.”

Gabe, a partner for the family law firm, has to hire a new junior partner. When Olivia walks in things change for him. When he learns of her past and how she was brought to New York he is mad. The quote I chose for Gabe is: “Livvie, my life was empty before you came into it. You have made me realize that I don’t want a life without you in it. I’ve loved you from the minute I saw you waiting for your interview. You are sweet and kind and motivated. You make me want to be a better man. Olivia Jane Cameron, would you do me the supreme honor of being my wife?”

This is a romance lovers dream come true. Please check it out!

AlamirAlamir by Nesa Miller
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I give Alamir: Blood of Kaos Series by Nesa Miller, 4 stars.

I will admit, this book confused me at first. I did not really understand where it was going or who was important. I do not give up on books easily though and am glad that I did not on this one. It turned out to be a fabulous story, full of twists and turns and so captivating. Etain goes through so much in this book and is constantly learning and growing. She has to decide whom to trust when others tell her not to. She has to make decisions that affect not only herself — quite possibly the hardest decisions there are. I really enjoyed her as a main character.

Of course, this book is about so much more than just her. The other characters really add to this book and each in their own way will have you loving or hating them — or possibly both. At times, it is hard to decide who is the “good guy”. Then there is the story itself. I did not see most of the things coming and was constantly on edge for what would happen next. I loved it.

If you are a fan of fantasy with strong female leads, this book is for you.

Devil’s Claw (A Logan McKenna Mystery Book 3)
By Valerie Davisson
5 out of 5 stars

I loved reading the book Devil’s Claw (A Logan McKenna Mystery Book 3) by Valerie Davisson. It is a story that once I started, I couldn’t put it down until the final page. It is a book that includes mystery and danger. I have enjoyed reading the first two books in the series and I found this one to be just as amazing. The author does a wonderful job of weaving a tale that had me turning pages wondering what will happen next. This story revolves around the disputed property of Lot 429. Some want the property for selfish reasons. How far with they go to possess it? Read this book to find out. I loved that this story includes a new Sea Otter Center. When reading about the center and the orphaned sea otter that is where my heart just melted. I love the character of Logan. She is intelligent, strong, and independent. She has a fierce determination as well as a true and kind heart. I also enjoyed reading about Amy, Logan’s daughter, and the part that she plays in this story. This book has heartbreaking and heartwarming moments. There are also moments of suspense that kept me on the edge of my seat. Other additional characters play their part and it is wonderful that some of those from the first two books make their appearance again in this one. Don’t miss out on a story that is exciting, mysterious, and entertaining. I would recommend reading it.

Secure Again (Chase Security Series Book 2)
By R.L. Dunn
5 out of 5 stars

I loved reading the book Secure Again (Chase Security Series Book 2) by R.L. Dunn. It is a story that starts with a bang and doesn’t let you go until the final page. There is action, danger, mystery, and romance. I loved the characters of Dr. Elizabeth Reed and Martin Bailey. Elizabeth is a doctor who takes her oath to help patients very seriously. She is dedicated to her career and good at what she does. She also has a past that is painful to remember. When Austin Bailey, Martin’s brother ends up in the hospital and they meet again old memories resurface. Martin is a man who is intelligent, strong and the CEO of Chase Security. He can’t believe his eyes when he sees Elizabeth. Will anything happen between Elizabeth and Martin? Is their love for one another still there? There is a conspiracy of crimes that are being committed. Will Martin be able to keep Elizabeth safe? Will they get a HEA? Read this book to find out. This story had me on the edge of my seat wondering what was going to happen next. It has twists and turns that I didn’t see coming. I grew to care about what happens to Elizabeth and Martin with each chapter that I read. I wanted them to find happiness. The author does an amazing job of making both the storyline and the characters come alive on the pages. I enjoyed reading about all of the supporting characters that helped Elizabeth and Martin. There are also those with an evil agenda that must be stopped. Don’t miss out on an amazing tale that is exciting and entertaining to read. I highly recommend reading it.

Secure Again (Chase Security Series Book 2)Secure Again by R.L. Dunn
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Secure Again: A Chase Group Story by R.L. Dunn is another winner. It is a thrilling and enticing read that is non stop action from the start to finish. There are so many players it is a wonder that R.L. was able to keep up with them all as it was a little daunting myself but she did a masterful job of weaving it all together to come out with a story that will have your heart pounding and your emotions on high alert. I really enjoy the Chase Group stories and love their characters. This one was a bit of a hard pill to swallow at the thought of what the evil men and women in this story were doing and I could not wait for their just deserts to be served with a side of whipped cream. It is choc-a-block full of action and danger, secrets and lies, heartache and love.

Dr. Elizabeth Reed is one strong and sassy, independent and beautiful woman but she is heartbroken. She has long suspected that things have not been right with the injuries she sees on some of her patients. When she asks questions she doesn’t realise she is now putting herself in life threatening danger. However, when doing everything she can to save a life, she comes face to face with the one person who shattered her heart.

Martin Bailey is the CEO of Chase Security International, but all that is left behind when he has a family emergency. Whilst waiting for answers he finds himself face to face with the one person who tore his heart out and stomped on it. What he finds when he gets to the hospital will require the whole of Chase Security and then some to bring the monsters to justice.

The book is extremely fast paced and will have you biting nails and on the edge of your seat. Not one to be missed.

This is the second book in this series, I enjoyed it just as much as the first one. I highly suggest reading these in order to help enhance your enjoyment of this series. I enjoyed being pulled into this story right from the beginning. I had no issues connecting to the characters as they brought the story to life for me. They are strong, supportive characters that made the story easy to read. One experience changed the destiny of three friends, Hunter, Ava and Thomas. Years later Hunter shows back up to fix things. But is the fix really going to be that easy for them? How will their destiny be affected this time around? This is where the story really picks up and I had a hard time putting it down.

As if it wasn’t bad enough to be deemed the “most single person” at her magazine’s office, budding reporter Penny has now been tapped to write a series of features called “The Dating Game.” From speed dating to Tinder, old-fashioned matchmakers to up-and-coming “dark dating,” Penny now has to go on a lot of dates. Silver lining: meeting new people should be fun, right? But running into her old rival, George, at her first dating event is decidedly not. Not only does the arrogant know-it-all have zero trouble attracting women, wherever Penny goes, somehow he just. Keeps. Showing. Up.

Geo knows he’s right on the cusp of writing success with the chance to have his own syndicated column. All he has to do is follow his agent’s ideas for showcasing different dating avenues, and he’ll pull in enough to help his sister’s non-profit women’s shelter get off the ground. Sure, his itinerary is starting to look strangely similar to his old rival Penny’s, but all’s fair in love and syndication, right?

The more they look for love in all the wrong places, though, the more they start to wonder if it was right in front of their noses all along. Still, the brutal dating scene just might end them, if these two don’t kill each other first.

Everyone seems to want it but how far will they go to get it? As the story turns dangerous, a community trying to stop a murderer may just turn more deadly. Logan has been one of my favorite characters from the beginning. She is a strong character and really just makes the story for me.

Will they solve this mystery before more lives are lost? We also have a little rekindling romance starting between Dr. Elizabeth and Marty. What will fate have in store for them?

Xenobia is back in this book with determination to prove to everyone that she is not like their previous leader. What will happen when a blood den along with some enemies is found? Will it produce memories that are a solution or will they just haunt her? This is such a fast paced story that I lost track of time reading it. The details made it fun, easy and entertaining to read. I highly recommend picking up this book and others by this author today.

Lucky at Love: Some Guys Just Never Give Up...Lucky at Love: Some Guys Just Never Give Up… by Cynthia Hamilton
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Lucky at Love: Some guys just never give up… by Cynthia Hamilton is an interesting, between genres read. It is labeled as a romance, but it covers more than a typical romance. There is romance at different levels. I was not sold on the concept at the beginning and thought I had it all sorted out. Luckily, Ms. Hamilton proved me wrong and gave me a story I didn’t expect. What happens when a journalist is after a story? Do their own perceptions change as they get to know a subject? I think it was interesting and an introspective look at love, relationships, and marriage. I enjoyed how there were challenges put to Allison by Jake concerning her own life. This is a good read. I look forward to reading more from Cynthia Hamilton in the future.

Finders Reapers: A Paranormal Romantic Comedy by Carrie Pulkinen is the fourth book in the New Orleans Nocturnes series. Set in New Orleans, we find a reaper Asher having a personal crisis. Will he be able to let necromancer Jasmine in? This series is a fun, paranormal group of stories which interconnect, but each book tells a separate story. They can be read out of order and totally enjoyed, but what is the fun in that? This is again a fun, lighthearted romp with a happily ever after, which had me laughing and enjoying myself. The setting of New Orleans is fantastic for a paranormal story. I have enjoyed this entire series and look forward to reading more from Carrie Pulkinen in the future.

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

Accountability is Book Three in Jessica Aiken-Hall’s Scope of Practice series. To enjoy this to the full, I would suggest reading the first two books in the series, it really helps to understand the story better and to know the characters and what they have been through.

Valerie’s story has kept me hooked since book one. She has been through so much, and in this book she realises that she needs to put the same effort in to helping herself as she does to helping others. This story, as with the others, is full of twists, turns and surprises! The book is filled with emotions as Vals strength of character is put to the test. The characters are very relatable, and after reading the first two books I was already invested in their lives and stories.
The author knows how to keep you hooked, and keeps you turning the page right to the very end. The suspense builds throughout and it’s one of those books you can’t put down without knowing what happens next!

I loved reading the book Deadly Weapon (Jake Wolfe Book 5) by Mark Nolan. It is a story that from the beginning takes you on a non-stop, action-packed ride that is not over until the final page. It pulled me in, and I didn’t want to put it down. This is a series that I have loved reading since the first book. Jake Wolfe is back and what an adventure waits for him. He is helping to uncover and stop a conspiracy. Will he be able to stop those who have deadly and evil plans? Read this book to find out. This is a story that has action, danger, mystery, suspense, and even a bit of romance. Jake is a character who is intelligent, resourceful, and when sent on a mission has a fierce determination to finish the job. There are moments when I had to remind myself to breathe. The author does an amazing job of making both the storyline and the characters come alive. This story does have additional characters, many of whom know Jake or have heard about him. They have his back. Then there are those whose agenda is evil and has to be stopped. Don’t miss out on a story that will have you reading far into the night to find out how it ends. It is an exciting and entertaining story. I highly recommend reading it.

Years later is there a chance for them to put the past behind them and look forward to the future? Will they get a HEA? Read this book to find out. This story had my emotions going up and down the entire time I was reading it. I believed that Thomas, Hunter, and Ava belonged together. I wanted them to find happiness. The author does an amazing job of making both the storyline and the characters come alive on the pages. There are additional characters that make an appearance in the story and I enjoyed reading about them as well. This is a book that has steamy romantic scenes that will make the temperature in the room rise. Don’t miss out on a wonderful story that will tug at your heart. I highly recommend reading it.

EverMarked by AJ Eversley – Review by Lisa Helmick

EverMarkedEverMarked by A.J. Eversley
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book is crazy good! I Love it! The story drew me in from the beginning and didn’t let go til the last page. The action and suspense that fill these pages is enormous! I really didn’t know what was going to happen next. The characters are different and interesting. We are dealing with six kids. They are marked, pur and/or Watchers. Sierra, Theo and Vic are the Marked. Jayla, Caspian and Em are the Watchers. When their worlds collide everything as they knew it goes up in smoke. I enjoyed each group and liked watching them bicker like siblings and change as the circumstances around them warranted it.

This is my first book by this author. The flow of the story is fast paced. It’s a wonderful dystopian story. It made me care and worry about the characters. It made me want to know more about the Void and what these Marked kids are doing. That ending?! Just WOWED me! I can’t wait for the next in the series!
