Genre – Paranormal Romance, Psychological Thriller, Erotic Romance
Page Count – 460 pages
Cover Designer – Suzanna Ryan
Gavin McLean is an astute, accomplished and dedicated homicide detective. His days are filled with solving brutal murder cases, delving into the psyches of the worst humanity has to offer. His work comes first, to the detriment of his personal life.
His sleeping hours are plagued by a reoccurring dream of a beautiful naked woman with long brown hair. He’s mesmerized by her shapely backside, which is all he can see in the vision. The dream is erratic, with no patterns to help discern frequency or cause … with one complicated exception. She is always suspended by her hands, from a meat hook, on the ceiling, and pleads for her life.
With his personal life in turmoil and dreams shortening his sleep, he struggles to keep his world in operating order. He distracts himself by having an encounter with a frequent lover. Then fate steps in when a woman is found naked and dead, in a dumpster.
Is Gavin’s dream becoming his reality? Sometimes nothing is as it seems.

Debbie has always been an avid reader, but writing never occurred to her. That was until an illness gave her the time and inspiration needed to begin her journey in words. After writing down a few chapters of a story that had whispered into her head, she gave it to a few friends to read. The rest became her first book, The Kiss Me Chronicles. 

Debbie freely credits her stories to her muses, the characters themselves. They occupy her thoughts and dreams, presenting her with their narratives on their lives and loves. On occasion, she has tried to put her own take on their story, only to be quickly corrected by the true authors.

Debbie has traveled extensively and has a deep love of American history. Her novels are often based on historical events as well as places she has visited. She is also an amateur genealogist, having traced her own family roots.

Debbie currently has sixteen published books with many more in various stages of production. She has finished her tetralogy of ‘what or where is your safe place.’ She has also branched out of the romance/historical romance genre to include a teenage appropriate story based on Dorothy’s (The Wizard of Oz) great-granddaughter, Dee, and her shoes titled, The Wonderfully Ugly Traveling Shoes. Hopefully, Dee won’t leave Debbie in some far off time or place.

Running away never felt so good…
When overworked supermodel Pandora Sebastian flees a taxing photoshoot and takes refuge in Bunya Junction’s only pub—all while dressed as a bride—the locals are unexpectedly welcoming. Pandora may not be a runaway bride, but she does need a break from her high-powered career. Why not stay in this idyllic little country town and consider her options?
Jonas Carruthers thinks he’s seen it all—until Pandora bursts into his pub and his life. She’s everything he doesn’t expect her to be: kind, compassionate, hardworking, and interested in him. And despite wanting to help her, she’s also the only one who can own her mistakes, fix the PR mess she’s in, and rescue her career.
As much as she wants to stay hidden in Bunya Junction, Pandora needs to face the press and wear the consequences. Jonas has been great, but there’s no way he’ll step up to support her choices. Or will he?

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Stormwood by Luna Mayfield is a page-turner of a paranormal romance. I started this book this morning and could not put it down. It is a quick and easy read. It was written in such a way that it reminded of the psychological thrill that the old Halloween movies gave me. You have two haunting spirits, an estate with a mystery and a ring left to Luci, her fiance and some major paranormal activity to solve and figure out. I’m telling you that Luci gives mood ring a new definition. The author writes with the write amount of chill and suspense. Tolle gives me the creeps. I may have trouble sleeping tonight (just kidding.) The whole character/spirit angle was great. I was left wanting more. I do believe I found another new favorite for my paranormal books. Highly recommend!!!

Something Lost (Funeral and Weddings Series Book 1) by Bernadette Marie

4 out of 5 Stars

In this endearing story, Bernadette Marie introduces us to a team of characters. This story focuses on Rachel and Craig, but without the team the story wouldn’t be the same. The bonds shared between the friends and family in series will keep you coming back for more.

Rachel Diaz, daughter of a beloved basketball coach, is picking up the pieces of her heart once again. Rachel’s father has just passed away. His team, a group of five now men, have all agreed to be pallbearers. The only problem is that the love of Rachel’s life, the one that broke her heart, is one of those five. Craig Turner had dealt with plenty of his own issues. His drunken father that showed up for all of two minutes was part of the reason Craig left town, left Rachel. When he received the call to honor his coach, Craig knew he would see her but was he ready? Does he still love her? Will she even talk to him after ten years apart?

This story of redemption, forgiveness and second chances is heartfelt and wonderfully told. The characters are all regular people just trying to live their lives and find their way. Rachel, Catherine, Alex, Toby, Craig, Ray, and Bruce are interconnected and woven throughout each other’s lives in ways they are just starting to realize. As the series continues, I look forward to reading about each one! I love this casual, cozy series.

Amy McKinley has done it again. I loved her other series Deadly Isles Special Ops so when I saw this book I was intrigued. It definitely did not disappoint me at all. I love the plot and how she knew how to make the characters and details work for the story. This book has kept me on the edge of my couch and kept me intrigued the whole time. I couldn’t put it down and I honestly want more. Max and Liliana are just perfect, the mafia princess and the body guard. Hands down a great book to read! Now one of my favorites.

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

No Way Out is a great start to a new series, which is no surprise. Amy McKinley knocks it out of the park with each new series. I am already hooked and cannot wait to go on to book 2 and see what this series has in store. This book is action packed, with a good balance of romance, and keeps us guessing. I kept waiting for Max to turn out to have some dark past, and was worried to like him too much. But the story is perfect, and had a big screw you to the “bad guys” and has a huge reveal that makes the match between Max and Liliana that much more perfect. I love McKinley’s characters, because the women are always strong tough women, who don’t need to rely on the men in their lives. I love Liliana and her friends stick up for each other, and take care of business attitudes. I hope they each get their own story in the series! Highly recommend this book, and cannot wait for the next book.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

If you are looking for a suspenseful story with a little romance mixed in, look no further. Thia Finn has masterfully done that in this story. The more I read the book the more I needed to read what was coming next. I could not put the book down. Her descriptive writing paints a picture that would stay with me for a while. The characters are wonderful. They are fully developed and complex. Who knew that one can fall in love with a character like they are right there in the room with you. Callie is a sweet girl who is getting out of a horrible marriage. Her ex-husband is an abusive a-hole. CC Chapman is not sure if he is the right one to be with Callie. I highly recommend reading this book to see what happens between Callie and CC Chapman. Trust me is it worth the read.

In Scarlet Princess, Princess Rowan finds herself imprisoned in enemy territory after being caught smuggling…will a new romance be the key to her survival? Will she ever return home?

This was my first time visiting this book universe, but I can’t wait to read more from this author pair! I loved the strong female lead, the enemies-to-lovers/forbidden love vibes, the world building! Fans of fantasy YA romance will love this one. It’s left me waiting the next book ASAP, but it will come out November 2021!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I loved the sweetness of this story. Emma was a woman determined to do things her way but in a demure way. I loved this woman, who in a time women were to be seen and not heard, was so out of the ordinary. Emma was about women being empowered. She went to business school, helped victims, solves crimes, and built a business.
I haven’t been reading much in the historical category lately, but this book would draw me back in. Loved living in this world for a short time.

This first book of the Whispering Pine series, I found it intriguing and thoroughly enjoyed reading this. The main character Jane, gets sucked into this murder mystery that I found myself getting lost in it as well. The one thing that I really enjoyed in the narration of the wonderful story is the wiccan references, such as the beliefs and practices. They were woven into the story line and quite intriguing without being overpowering in this suspense. Also…the cliffhanger at the end will keep you reading the next book in the series. I am so glad that I decided to give this one a try!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Amy McKinley really freaking served with this one. A little slow moving at first, then it all unfolded. Beautifully written characters, an intense plot and really paved the way to a series I can’t wait to continue.

I feel like recently the leading ladies in books have been a little disappointing, but that was NOT the case with Liliana. She was so much more than a mafia “princess”. She showed strength even through fear, and I loved her for that. And Max? *swoon* Max was the alpha male you expect in books like these, but he wasn’t JUST that. Which is why I loved this book so much. It was complex, it was steamy, it was full of drama and danger and twists. I can’t wait for the next one!

The Don (Her Three Immortals Book 1) by Hazel Storm – Review by Dawn Brown

The DonThe Don by Hazel Storm
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Vanessa is a hairdresser and just wants her younger brother, Piper, to feel better. When her neighbor has a conversation with a good looking man, she becomes intrigued by him. What she doesn’t know is that he negotiates contracts with humans for their souls. While in New York City, looking for a doctor who can help her brother, she runs into his half brother and is also intrigued by him. Lurking closeby is yet another brother and each brother’s mother (who btw are not at all interested in Vanessa staying around.)
Opinion
I’ve read a lot of books that focus on Greek/Roman gods and demigods. This one takes on a new approach where the MC is interested in multiple brothers. She is pretty wholesome, which shouldn’t interest at least one brother, but they are interested.
The style of writing is completely fluid with short(ish) chapters. While I can see someone reading this book in small bursts, I personally read it in almost one setting. It has been quite a while since I have read a book without taking breaks. I enjoyed this book tremendously and anticipate the next two (which will be read within the next two days if I have anything to say about it.)

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This book has a great heroine in Emma Evans. She is strong, intelligent, and driven. She also cares about supporting the women in her town to gain independence, education, and a profession. She advocates for them tirelessly, even when universities and companies balk at the idea of an educated woman in the 1800s.

I have not read the first book, but there was sufficient backstory elements added that I wasn’t confused about what was happening. That said, I think it would have been even more engaging had I read the first book. As new ones are coming out soon, I may just catch up on what I missed!

I have really enjoyed this series so far and this book did not disappoint. It was filled with all of the same awesome level of romance, drama and intrigue.

Vanessa once again finds herself in a predicament after having come to the notice of Grey’s mother. With only 24 hours to complete her mission or suffer permanent death, she has little time to waste…but there is always time for romance! She gets transported back to the Overworld on a task where she is reunited with Raef briefly before she is kidnapped by Aroz to Upperworld.

I love how all of these characters have developed through this series and I love how each of the Gods is so very different from the others. The cliffhanger at the end will have you hoping Book 4 comes out very soon!

I’m in love with Ryan and Sindy in Home to the Outback by Nicole Flockton. It’s such a sweet story of a guy returning to his home after tragedy and starting his life over.
I don’t know what small town living is like, and the world Nicole Flockton created is exactly how I would imagine it’s like.
Growing up in the North Eastern US, everything is so fast paced and most are rude and in a rush all the time. I’ve always felt out of place thinking I’m better suited for small town living. Which is why I love to escape into stories that are exactly like that.
that.
I also love the character development displayed in this book. I really look forward to reading the next book in the series and then some. I will also try to check out other books by Nicole Flockton as well!
In conclusion, if you like a small town love story, that was initially a childhood crush, with reservations and complications along the way check it out!

I do believe I have a new favorite series. Or at least a tie. I was hooked from the first line! I started reading this morning and did not put the book down until I finished it. I’m now going to read other books by this author because the stories she tells are so captivating and imaginative. This book has most of the things I love in it. Magic, romance, thrills, and a strong female lead. I cried at the end of the book and cannot wait for the next one. Several times my heart nearly beat out of my chest with excitement and wonder at what was going to happen. I am so happy I stumbled across this amazing book. Please do yourself a favor and read it. I promise you’ll fall in love!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Camille Thurston decides she needs to recharge from her highly stressful life as a PI in Boston. She takes a leave from her job and goes to stay with her brother Zach and his family in Connecticut. What she does not expect is to get wrapped up in an investigation involving a missing woman. Rather than sit idly by Camille feels compelled to help her brother Zach, and his partner Russ. Camille aids in the investigation by keeping tabs on the missing woman’s husband, neighbors, and friends. What starts out as a way to keep track of the missing woman’s husband turns into so much more and Camille never expects to fall in love with the missing woman’s husband.

Murder Among Friends was a real page turner. It took twists and turns that I never saw coming with one big twist at the end that seemed to come out of nowhere. This book will keep you hooked as you delve in to see what will happen next.

This is a nice story. The two mc haven’t seen each other for years and he is her brother’s bestie from years ago. Those are some of my favorite tropes to read. While I enjoyed this story I didn’t love it. All the elements are there other than the narrative. There is a lot of thinking in their heads even while having conversations. So a couple pages could go by before one would answer the other. To be honest I just started skipping to the dialogue so I could stay in the moment.

I loved the idea of a small town in Australia. It’s different but yet the same and we meet some wonderful characters. Her brothers are great and I could see stories being built here.

Overall its nice, lighthearted and fun. I will check out others in this series.

Code Name: Vulture: Dark Vampire Romance (The Order of the Condor Series Book 1) was absolutely phenomenal. I’ve read my share of books with dominant males. Most of them crack so early in the book makes you question their dominance. Not in this book that’s for sure. Vulture let’s you know who’s boss.
I really liked that there were several supernatural creatures in the story. There was tons of action.

Wow, where to start… I suppose with two of my favorite things in one place, mafia romance, and Amy McKinley. Boom, pretty sure you have the makings right there for a fab read, so it was a no-brainer for me to just one-click this read the moment I saw it. I am so glad that I did and cleared my evening because this book consumed me. Max and Lilianna quickly became one of my absolute favorite book couples that I have read of 2021 and I was hooked on the chemistry that they slowly and painfully built up on my kindle. I love how McKinley does that and she really did a wonderful job of it in No Way Out. I am so excited to see that this is the first of a series and that we will be getting more of this deliciousness on our kindles hopefully in the near future. I wouldn’t mind seeing more of Max and Lilianna either even though I loved how Ms. McKinley tied this book up.

I just love love love Karina Cardinal mystery books from the ever talented Ellen Butler!! With every book in this series I find myself saying over and over these get better and better and I once again find myself saying that with Swindler’s Revenge. I was up way past my bedtime to read how Karina would get herself out of the mess she found herself in once again in this one. I just had to know. This one was so good I couldn’t read it in pieces so I dove in and found out and with every page I was more and more hooked into her story laughing and yelling at my kindle as the hubby stirred next to me and rolled his eyes at my excited reading. People these books are not ones that you want to miss if you love mystery, crime, drama, romance, suspense, laughter, travel, and so much more. Every time Butler takes you to a new place and on a new adventure that will make you feel as if you have slipped on your private investigator shoes and jumped right into the action yourself. I love it and I only cry when I read the very last page because it is over. This one brought us so many changes but I can’t bear to divulge them. I just can assure you don’t miss it run and one-click today for your chance to find out what KC is up to for yourself!

While I may have not read the first book in the DAG series, I was pleasantly surprised with how much I became invested in the characters of UNSETTLED SCORES, and the DAG Team. This story is very fast paced and full of action as much as it is full of romance and intrigue and suspense that kept me on my toes and reading well into the night. I just had to know how things were going to work out for Amy surrounding the death of her sister. I won’t’ give away much more on the story line because that would be a huge spoil but this is one you don’t want to miss if you love drama and crime mixed with a small bit of romance. I enjoyed this one enough that I will be going back to read the first in the series and look forward to seeing what may come next from Kel O’Connor in the near future.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

An enjoyable and engaging read which had me hooked from page one and kept me happily turning the pages. Set in a small town in Australia, the authors descriptive narrative really brings Bunya Junction to life and I could picture the setting which made me feel fully immersed in the story. Nurse Sindy Carruthers returned to her home town following the break down of her relationship and was welcomed back and supported by both her family and the community. Sindy runs the local medical practice and is enjoying having her confidence back and not thinking about romance until her brothers old friend returns.
Dr. Ryan Flanagan is an renowned plastic surgeon to the stars and has only returned to Bunya Junction to pay his last respects to his friend and mentor, but then learns that he has been bequeathed half of the towns general medical practice. As he’s not a fan of Bunya Junction and the judgements of the townsfolk he’s unlikely to stay until he learns that the other half belongs to his closest friend’s twin sister, Sindy. The couple cannot deny their mutual attraction and instant chemistry, which came across in the narrative, but will a romance complicate them being business partners. This is a heartwarming romance between two likeable and relatable characters and I was cheering them on hoping they would get their happy ever after. I look forward to returning to Bunya Junction in the rest of this series.

This book took me a little under 2 weeks to read leisurely, but I could have devoured it in a day had I the time to do so. I’d give it 5 out of 5 stars. The characters are extremely well written, and all the interactions were believable and above all, relatable. The story follows a young woman who blows into town to close- up her grandmother’s estate after being gone since childhood after her passing. She soon realizes there’s more than meets the eye in this quaint little witchy town. As she finds her way through her own issues as well as some odd town dynamics that she comes across, she also meets some great people along the way. I’m really looking forward to the rest of the series and seeing how the relationships flourish in the coming books. The storyline was believable and doesn’t end exactly the way you’d think it would- which I love. I wasn’t completely oblivious as to how the story would end but the ending was a good one and set future stories up very well. I think this is a series that will continue to get better and better. I’m really looking forward to reading where this storyline goes and what other interesting characters will be brought into the spotlight. Great, easy read that will have you hooked and keep you coming back to see what happens next. I look forward to reading more of your books Shawn McGuire, blessed be!

I loved this book. It was an unexpected breath of fresh air. It is action-packed right from the start, there’s no easing into the story, it really kicks off with a bang.
I really enjoyed the characters, particularly Rowan. She is really relatable which I loved, fiery, full of personality, and always finding herself unintentionally in trouble. When she finds herself at the mercy of her enemy the last thing she expects is to fall for him.
This love story had me hooked from the get-go. The pages turned so fast, I was frustrated at myself for finishing so quickly, but once you get stuck in there’s no stopping. I can’t wait to read book two.
