To be a Fae Queen (Realm Chronicles #1)To be a Fae Queen by Tricia Copeland
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book tackles misogyny in the best possible way. Titania is such an amazing heroine, that she had me rooting for her from the very first page. I absolutely adore the way that she faced her personal demons and the misogyny surrounding her with grace and fire! Tricia Copeland created a beautiful world that drew me in from the very beginning. This book is full of adventure, magic, wonder and romance, all while dealing with very real issues that unfortunately still affect women the world over. As a woman, I really connected with Titania and the struggles that she faced simply for being a woman. I went through so many different emotions reading this book because it has such depth to it. I am eager to read what’s to come in the rest of this amazing series.

This was a great sequel. It has less smut in it than the first book in the series. I definitely enjoyed reading the Egyptian storyline the most (side note: author please please write a book focusing on the Egyptian storyline). The world-building was just as good as it was in the first book. I look forward to reading more from this author in the future. I highly recommend reading this series.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The Book of Carraig by Andrea Matthews is the second book in the Cross of Ciaran series. I would definitely recommend reading this series in order so that you can get a full enjoyment of it. I enjoyed how easy it was to get right back into this story and the characters. Ciaran and Caitlan really are so each to read about. Even in the second book you can feel their connection. I thought this was a really well written story too. The mystery and intrigue were great elements to the book. I am really pleased to see there is going to be a third book and I can’t wait to read it.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book is insanely amazing, I was not expecting the journey it takes you on. It is like a cross over between law and order and fifty shades.
Detective Gavin McLead works in homicide and he is investigating the brutal murders of women left in dumpsters, But what is strange is that Gavin starts to dream about these murders before they happen. I was trying to figure out what was happening right along with Gavin.
It is so well written and I cant wait for book 2.

No Strings Attached by Lara Ward Cosio is a real page turner. This story was Funny, Romantic & Super Sexy. Just like the gravitational pull that Tanner and

No Strings AttachedNo Strings Attached by Lara Ward Cosio
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

A sweet and steamy romance with a strong female main character and a smoking hot male interest.

Tessa is a single mom doing it completely alone. She works hard and spends all of her time with her daughter Emerson. Tanner is a single man who is always working and helping his sister while her husband is deployed. When the two meet they cannot deny their instant attraction to one another, but neither of them have the time to start a relationship. Despite their busy lives they decide to start a no strings attached relationship. However, one person usually ends up having more feelings than the other. Add a rockstar of an ex who walks back into Tessa’s life and things quickly get messy. Now Tessa is torn on what to do and has some big decisions to make for her and her daughter.

I absolutely loved Tessa. As a recently turned single mom myself it was amazing to follow along with Tessa while she made time to do something just for herself for the first time since having her daughter. It’s honestly why I first picked up this book because I could relate to Tessa. What I didn’t realize was that it would give me hope and remind me that it’s okay to just do things for yourself once in a while as a woman not as a mom.

Dating the It Guy is a YA, High School Coming of Age story by Krysten Lindsay Hager. This is the first book I have read by this author, but it definitely won’t be the last. The characters are amazingly detailed and the emotions had me all over the place. I was laughing one minute and reaching for a tissue the next. This is one book I couldn’t put down, it brought back memories of my high school time many years ago. I would recommend this book to anyone no matter their age. I look forward to reading more from Ms. Hager.

Ye Gods! The Law is an Ass! (Donovan Trait Book 2) by Seelie Kay

Ye Gods! The Law is an Ass! Is the second book in the Donovan Trait Series by Seelie Kay. I highly recommend reading the first book if you haven’t already as this is a continuation of book one. I loved being pulled in from the beginning of this short read that I finished in one sitting. I had to know what was going to happen next. This story finds Donovan and Shirley on the run after they break the agreement with the Coalition. They didn’t mean to but she accidentally got pregnant and now they are being sought. I don’t want to give up to much so I highly recommend reading this short read to find out what happens next. I can’t wait to read more from this Author.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Emme is going into her sophomore year and taking a summer class. Brendon comes late to class and they are paired to work together. Emme’s grandma taught her about the mystical world and Emme sees signs everywhere that her and Brendon are meant to be together.
Emme’s last boyfriend gave her major insecurities as he cheated on her and never made her feel good enough. Can she trust Brendon to not hurt her?
Brendon is a senator’s son and is the popular guy in school. He feels very comfortable with Emme and finds himself spending as much time with her as possible.
This is not the first book I have read by Krysten Lindsay Hager, I love the complexity of her characters and she throws me back into my teenage years when insecurities are the only thing you know. She is quickly becoming one of my favorite authors. She has the ability to make me laugh, cry, and every emotion in between with her books.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Hager paints the teenage years in a very vivid and relatable light. Hormones’, insecurities, the daily stress of trying to fit in, peer pressure, etc. A story that reflected the struggle of growing up, and learning to be comfortable in your own skin. Teenage angst at its finest.
Emme and Brendon were characters who you could easily connect to and understand. Emme was a girl who had family issues, a lack of confidence, and a lot of insecurities. When she begins dating Brendon who is one of the most popular boys in school and the Senators son she begins to fall under quickly with the self doubt and stresses of being compared to girls before her. Brendon who is a down to earth and sweet just wants to live his life normally. He encourages Emme to be herself and be comfortable, but he also fails to understand some of where her feelings come from.
The relationship navigates jealousy, insecurity, lack of communication, misunderstandings, and poor judgement calls. This story shows young love and new love all rolled into one. It is a good read with some good lessons for young adults today.

5/5 Stars

The Bow: A Fated Mates Greek Myth Paranormal Romance (Her Three Immortals #3) by Hazel Storm

This isn’t the first book I’ve read by Storm. The Bow is the third book in the Her Three Immortals Series. This series needs to be read in order or you will be lost. Storm knows how to keep her readers coming back.

Vanessa is enjoying her time with Grey when his mother decides that she wants to send her away. Vanessa is sent to the Otherworld(Earth) and is to get a vial of water from the waterfall of youth. The quote I chose for Vanessa is: “Maybe not the part about the Underworld. I wasn’t in a rush to go there, but… as much as I miss Mom and Piper, I’m glad I ended up with Grey and that I could help him find what he’d lost.”

Aroz is the God of Lust and Love although he doesn’t know that. He doesn’t know about the darkness in his palace and he doesn’t know his mother made him lock away his twin brother. When they finally are one things get better. The quote I chose for Aroz is: “You may touch me anywhere you like, Bella. You should know that by now.”

Highly recommended for Paranormal Romance lovers.

Not many times you end up reading a laugh out loud mystery. I really enjoyed this book and there were times when I was chuckling to myself reading this book.
Swindler’s Revenge is book 5 in the Karina Cardinal Mysteries series by Ellen Butler .

When her Ex Boyfriend, FBI agent Mike Finnegan, is accused of a serious crime, she cannot keep her hands off the case as she knows deep in her heart that he is innocent. With a little help, she intends to prove it just the same.
The book is a real page turner and keeps the reader hooked till the very end. Overall I loved the mystery.

I love this series of books because they mix plot and character perfectly. I don’t think it is necessary to read the rest of the series to be able to read this one as a standalone, but you should because they’re all so good, and you also get a better handle on some of the minor characters where they have a history with the main character Karina, who is as dramatic as ever. The book is fast-paced and a page-turner. I never know quite what’s going to happen next and while all the books have a similar atmosphere, this one is still unique and doesn’t repeat what’s happened earlier.

Whew! Wow… just wow. This book took me on a Rollercoaster ride with all of its twists and turns and unexpected plot points. I thought I had it figured out and then the author went: “Nice try! Bam!” Plot twist. Seeing the struggle between choosing his wife and his mother was a little heartbreaking. I really enjoyed this book and have found a new thriller author! Can’t wait to read more by them!

To Be a Fae Queen (Realm Chronicles Book 1) by Tricia Copeland
4 Stars

This is a young adult fantasy novel. I love books based on the Fae, the Throne of Glass sériées being one of my favourites. I was really excited to find this book. Titania has suffered loss in her young life which leaves her with anxiety attacks. After a few years of training to become queen, she never expected to rise to the throne at fifteen years old. The situation being as it is, she needs to rise to the occasion and overcome obstacles set before her. There are problems within the castle and dangerous threats outside. Who can she trust to help her protect her realm and her people?

I loved the fact that Titania was smart, strong willed and caring. I think it was a little unrealistic how brave she was for a fifteen year old who has panic attacks, regardless I liked her anyways. I believe she has great potential. I liked that there were other supernaturals involved ie: witches, vampires and angels. Although not all made an appearance in this book, it adds potential to future books in this series. My only issue is that I found the story long. I feel like this book could have been written in two books. I found the story interesting and see many ways that the author can expand upon. I’m looking forward to reading more about these characters.

Ye Gods! The Law is and Ass! by Seelie Kay is the second book in the Donovan Trait series. This is a fantastic follow up to book one. I definitely think you should read these books in order as it is a continuation of the story and follows the same characters.
From the moment I started reading I was pulled straight back into this world. I was excited to see what else was in store foe these characters and the author did not disappoint. I thought the story was so thrilling and it really held my attention from start to finish. To is a great addition to the series and I cannot wait to see what is next.

Seelie Kay is an author that I recommend to everyone. Her writing has always drawn me into the stories from the first word until the last word of the book. There is always a good plotline to get lost in. Her characters are unforgettable. They are complex and complicated. She has a unique take on vampires which is refreshing. We met Donovan in book one. He is a 300-year-old Vampire. He is in love with Judge Shirley Magnusen. There are many laws in the vampire world. Donovan and Judge Shirley, who has been a newly turned vampire. That is where the fun begins and gets interesting. I highly recommend this book to see what happens with Donovan and Judge Shirley.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Katherine Monroe ends her national tour in her hometown. The Grand Theater had gone through renovations since the last time she had been there. It’s history now showing on its walls. One picture catches her eye, Phillip Gordon, who was he? She didn’t recognize the name. Opening night, Phillip comes to her concert, slips something into her hand, and leaves.
Who is Phillip Gordon? What is the locket he slipped to her? Kat is determined to find the answers to her questions, but what will the cost be to her? How does Kat get through the portal to 1947?
I loved the intrigue in this book. If you enjoyed Outlander, this is a book for you. Kat is very endearing, and Phillip is an old gentleman who has waited many decades for his true love to come back to him.

This is the 2nd book in the Donovan Trait series. This is a Vampire novel and is 149 pages in length. This story follows the Traits on the run. Donovan is a vampire.

Now, for Shirley to be “turned”, the Traits had to agree to allow the vampire scientists to watch and collect data on the conception, pregnancy, and birth of any children. But Shirley accidently gets pregnant and now the Vampire Coalition is furious. The Traits end up on a vampire nun island in the hopes of keeping their babies safe.

No Way Out (Mafia Elite, #1)No Way Out by Amy McKinley
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

No Way Out is the first novel in the Mafia Elite series by Amy McKinley.

To protect the granddaughter of his mentor, Max, under disguise he invades the Chicago Mafia. His plan is to get revenge on those who have wronged him, but once he sees her, the plans change.

Under her father’s control, Liliana, has no escape and is only a pawn in her father’s quest for power. Meeting Max may take her from the prison of her father to another prison.

I didn’t think I was going to like this as much as I did. I do not read Mafia storylines all that much but when I do, I do enjoy them.

Liliana was a force to be reckoned with and I loved her strong character. Her relationship with Max as well as the progression was great to read.

I look forward to reading more of this series. I hope the second book releases soon.

This book follows on from the  book First We Kill All The Lawyers and what a follow on. This book is action  packed and full of twists. It is definately a story that you won’t be able to put down. You will also feel loads of emotions from happiness to sadness, anger and fear.

We are back with Donovan and Shirley. Now Shirley has been turned she is free to marry Donovan and start a life together. Under the laws set by the Vampire Coalition Shirley isn’t allowed to fall pregnant without someone monitoring her for research purposes.

However plans changes when she finds out she is pregnant on her wedding day. What should be a happy time for the couple turns into a nightmare which sees Donovan and Shirley on the run to save their unborn babies.

Why are they being targeted like this? Surely vampires babies are a good thing? Or will the birth of two health babies unravel a lie that has been told for centuries?

As usual, the story line was fantastic!!! Just when Vanessa thinks things may be simple, guess again!!! She finds herself on a mission for the queen herself…..what could go wrong?? These books are so well written. Hazel is a gem for sure. The only reason I knocked it down a star was because of the sex scenes. It was a little too much for me.

Entwined: A Cinderella Retelling by A.L. Morrow is the first book in the Stone and Cinder series. I loved that this felt like a completely unique retelling so such a classic story that it came across as a story in its own right. It felt new and such a great read. It is quite a short story, which is a shame because it is so good. But the author has really created a lasting story that really grabbed my attention. I enjoyed all the characters, each of them so well written. This is a brilliant book and I am excited to see what comes next in book 2!

Decisions and Possibilities (Notebook Mysteries #2)Decisions and Possibilities by Kimberly Mullins
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

If you are looking for a strong protagonist that can hold her own at a time where women are still looked at as less than men, then look no further! This story is just the book I needed to read with everything going on in the world right now. I love the way this story is told like an actual story. There is a narrator and someone listening and its like you are getting read a book while reading the book and I love that. I haven’t read anything with that format before this story. Emma is just such a strong character. She deals with multiple mystery cases at once, while also learning new skills to help her team with their cases and also holding a part time job and is getting everything done. I don’t know how Kimberly Mullins created such a character or such a team that I became so invested in. As I was reading I wanted to know every thing about them I couldn’t learn too much about them. I can’t say enough good things about this book.

I absolutely ADORE these stories! Lara did such a great job of setting the scene and having Kayla & Tanner’s interactions so natural and fluid that I felt like I was reading a diary rather than a work of fiction. I could picture everything as it was taking place!
These stories are an absolute guilty pleasure of mine and I enjoy them to the fullest.
Boy meets girl, relationship is established, emotions are formed, hurdles are overcome, hurt ensues, someone apologizes to someone & either they walk away or they make it work! It’s a simple equation but it’s perfect when done correctly.
I can’t really say any more without giving away vital parts of the book so all I will say is, READ IT YOURSELF! Pinky-promise?

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

A quick, fun and easy read that will have you giggling. Kayla and Tanner have such a fun chemistry that it sizzles. Neither thinks they have time for romance so they choose to go for no-strings attached. All the fun and no commitment which works nice until someone else enters the picture. The someone else happens to be Kayla’s ex, can we say green-eye’d monster here? Kayla has a child with him and that makes it very complicated for her. Tanner soon realizes that strings have attached. The characters in this story are hilarious and well-written. There scenes in the beginning of the story are classic. When she is caught butt-staring, her responses are lame yet funny, but Tanner is busted too. I mean, come one, who hasn’t done that? And when she tried to text her bestie a picture of his butt and he was right behind her? I started laughing so hard my chest hurt. This is an incredibly funny romance that you should definitely read. It will make your day brighter. Highly recommend.
