Fight for It by Amy L Gale – Review by Lorralei Hoerner

Fight for It (Sunset Cove)Fight for It by Amy L. Gale
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I love a book that is romance plus the sport of fighting like boxing. This is my first book I read by Author Amy L Gale and I absolutely loved it! When Ray Wilson, whom was a professional boxer, returns to Sunset Cove to re-open The Kraken Bar & Grill. The real estate agent that he meets to sign all the paperwork is no other then Alyssa, whom he had known since high school. Growing up Alyssa’s brother was Ray’s best friend. After divorcing her abusive husband, Alyssa really tries to build her own business. When Alyssa meets with Ray to sign the paperwork for the bar he bought, spark also fly between Ray and Alyssa. The two really hit it off, until a opportunity for one last fight that Ray is a part of could ruin his left eyesight permanently, and someone is behind the set up of this fight. I just loved this story and I try not to give any spoilers away. This is a quick read but did NOT disappoint!

Scarlet Princess (The Lochlann Feuds, #1)Scarlet Princess by Robin D. Mahle
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is the first book that I have read written by Robin and Elle and I think that I have found a new favorite series! The characters are amazing. I found myself getting lost in Rowan’s character. I laughed and found myself cheering her on in this wonderful adventure that took place in front of my eyes and in my imagination. I found myself absolutely awed and did not want this book to end. And the cliffhanger! All I can say is bravo!! I cannot wait to read more!

Scarlet Princess (The Lochlann Feuds, #1)Scarlet Princess by Robin D. Mahle
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

5⭐

I read this book in one sitting because I couldn’t put it down it was so good and I’m a little miffed that I have to wait for the next one as there was a cliffhanger ending!!
Princess Rowan of Lochlann is the type of girl I could be friends with. She’s quirky, outspoken, desire driven and has a heart that is surprisingly bigger than her mouth. She’s also really good at landing herself in trouble which is where we start off in this story.
She is captured by her family’s enemies, the Elk Clan of the Socarian people. These two regions have had conflict since before Rowan was born, so she finds herself at odds between how she feels and how she should feel as Lord Theodore, the heir to Elk Clan escorts her to her freedom or her demise. I definitely cannot wait for the next book and will have that preorder button set for sure!

Raven Woman’s Tavern by Laura Koerber – Review by Megan Watson

Raven Woman's TavernRaven Woman’s Tavern by Laura Koerber
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The setting is 10 years in the future in and around a little town called Warrentown in Washington…  It’s not hard to believe the dystopian world Laura Koerber has built as many of the issues mentioned have been current events for so long.
Generally, I do not struggle to read from multiple point of views, but I did struggle to know what was going on during this read. It may have been too often of a transition because the author did a fabulous job of getting into the mood of multiple head spaces. I could definitely hear the differences between transitions; maybe it was just too frequent for me to keep a steady track of what was happening.
Warrentown is aptly described as a small, isolated town that made me recall my own history in a town similar. All in all, the imagery of this story is great and the characters of this book have potential, I’m just not entirely sure what the plot of this book was. I did like reading about Charlie and Val and enjoyed the character progression of Baylor.

Notebook Mysteries ~ Decisions and Possibilities by Kimberly Mullins – Review by Rebecca Hill

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

Notebook Mysteries is the second book in the Decisions and Possibilities series. It centers around 18 year old Emma Evans. It is technically in the Young Adults genre of reading, but anyone would enjoy this book. While this book does stand alone, it references what happened in the first book several times, so it would be best to read the books in order. I really enjoy historical fiction, and I enjoyed the mystery in this book as well. Emma is observant and sweet while still being direct. It’s the perfect read if you like mysteries and/or historical fiction!

Slow Burn (Breathing Hearts, #2)Slow Burn by A.K. MacBride
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

What better way to describe this compelling novel than Slow Burn! I enjoyed reading this novel- ranging from Adam’s struggle with seeing past his scars (not only physically but internally) to Maddie trying to get her parents to come to terms with her career in dancing. When their worlds collide, sparks fly, and they embark on a journey of romance, love, and hope. This novel proves that sometimes we need to look past the surface of one’s façade to find the person truly worth loving.

Slow Burn (Breathing Hearts, #2)Slow Burn by A.K. MacBride
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This enemies to lovers romance had me hooked from start to finish. I loved the main characters, grumpy Adam and bubbly Maddie and enjoyed seeing how their relationship changed and developed throughout the story. Maddie is instantly attracted to her new neighbour Adam after all he’s tall, muscular and has tats, but then he opens his mouth and she discovers that he is also rude and obnoxious. However, despite Adams poor first impression Maddie believes that there is more to him and that he’s hiding a past pain. The storyline flowed well and the descriptive narrative bought both the setting and the characters to life making this an engaging read. I was taken on an emotional rollercoaster whilst reading this as the story had both sad moments, tragic moments and then laugh out loud moments along with plenty of romance. I found myself still thinking about Adam and Maddie long after I had put the book down, which for me is always a sign of a good read.

Swindler’s Revenge (Karina Cardinal Mysteries Book 5) by Ellen Butler – Review by Jennifer Gordon

Swindler's RevengeSwindler’s Revenge by Ellen Butler
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

As a fan of the ‘Karina Cardinal Mysteries’ series I was looking forward to catching up with the heroine, who feels like an old friend, Karina Cardinal and as usual I was not disappointed. Book five in the series and each one really does get better. Having split up with Mike a few months ago Karina is surprised when the FBI start banging on her door hunting for a fugitive by the name of Mike Finnegan! Despite the damning evidence they claim to have Karina just can’t see Mike taking a 1.2 million bribe and so when a burner phone appears in her pocket, she’s not surprised to hear Mikes voice on the other end. Mike needs Karina’s help to find out who’s framing him and why, as he is deep under cover. Unfortunately this puts Karina in danger especially when an old enemy turns up, but as usual Karina ignores the dangers in order to solve the mystery and prove Mike’s innocence. A fast paced exciting storyline with plenty of plot twists, this story had me gripped from page one. Karina is a great strong female main character who really brings the stories together. I was up late reading this book as I just couldn’t put it down, a must read novel and I also recommend the series.

Fight For It (Sunset Cove) by Amy L. Gale is a great book with some truly likeable characters. From the minute I started reading this book I felt connected to Alyssa and Ray. You could imagine each of their struggles and felt like you were ok their journey with them.
This is the first book that I have read by this author and I enjoyed watching the character development that she brought out. The book was easy to read and enjoyable from the first page to the last. This is a great book and I can’t wait to discover more of this authors work.

The Bow: A Fated Mates Greek Myth Paranormal Romance by Hazel Storm is the third book in the Her Three Immortals series. Personally I would definitely read this series in order as it is a continuation of the story from the previous books.
I am really enjoying this whole series. It is so exciting to read and just keeps getting better with each book. I always find myself highly entertained by each book and I can never wait to start the next one.
It is the same with this book too. I couldn’t put it down once I had started. I had convinced myself this series was a trilogy and was so pleased to find out that there will be at least another book in the series. This is a fantastic instalment to the series and I am already itching to read book 4.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the third book in this series which I have enjoyed since the first book I picked up. This series keeps getting better and better for sure. This is an author that I have enjoyed from the first book I picked up of hers. I enjoyed being pulled into her story but the characters and the journey they take me on. This book is no different. I was pulled into this story from the beginning and was kept engaged to the end. I also enjoy how the characters are connectable and make the story easy to read. The author’s use of details gave the story life on each page. In this installment now that she has the heart of the God of the Underworld she has another problem, his mother. What happens next, you need to read this book and find out. I had a hard time putting this book down as I wanted to know what happened next to this main character. I enjoyed the growth of this plot throughout the story. I highly recommend this book.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Swindler’s Revenge by Ellen Butler is the fifth book in the Karina Cardinal Mysteries series and the first one that I have read. Even though I was able to read this as a standalone I feel you would get a better understanding for the characters if the series was read in order.
This book is a book that love that grips you from the beginning and doesn’t let go. There are so many twists and turns in here that you can never predict what will happen next and I couldn’t put it down.

When Karina’s Saturday was disturbed by agents looking for her ex boyfriend she is shocked to discover he is wanted in connection of taking $1.2 million from his work. Now he’s gone missing.

Karina doesn’t believe it was him as its so out of character so she is now on a mission to find him before the agents do and unravel this case. Who is trying to set him up? Is he being set up or blackmailed? And what secrets and dangers will Karina find herself caught in trying to solve this case.

Raven Woman’s Tavern was a book that interested me in the story background. I wanted to find out more about this tavern and what was going on. The book gave some very interesting details in this dystopic near future, and was actually quite creepy! Some of the book was a bit harder to follow and by the end, I was not sure of what was happening next. Nice writing, but the end of the book did not leave me as interested as I had hoped.

The Boss Prince is the first book in It’s Raining Royals series by Alix Nichols. This is the first book I have read from Alix Nichols, so I really didn’t know what to expect going in- but the premise sounded fun, so I grabbed a copy and followed along.
This is a very light-hearted romantic comedy- with a just a drop of the paranormal- which made for a quick, easy, and fun read.
I did enjoyed the fact that Ms. Nichols created a whole unknown ‘country’ in vivid detail. Right down to royalty, customs, and lore- the story was well developed. The characters had also been well crafted- though there were some aspects I would have liked to explore further, but perhaps more detail will come in future books.
Looking forward to seeing what Sasha and Arnaud get up to in Book #2…

Thank you, Alix Nichols!

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

Amy McKinley is quickly becoming one of my go-to authors!

Liliana is a mafia princess. Her father mistreats her and is using her as a pawn to retain power. When she is issued a new bodyguard she will remind everyone that she is not a gentle flower that can’t handle herself. But, when she finds herself in quite the predicament…is her bodyguard trustworthy or is he just another one of her dad’s pawns?

Max is enlisted by Liliana’s grandfather to protect her while also having his own agenda to take care of. But, when he meets Lil…he finds himself attracted to the kick-ass princess. But, as it always is with the Chicago mafia…there are secrets, hidden agendas, violence, and mafia politics at play. Can he get Lil to trust him enough to see that he is there to help her? Or have years of suffering at her father’s hands hardened her to believing anyone is on her side?

I loved this story. I am a huge fan of McKinley…so add in a mafia element and I was in. But this story just blew me away. Liliana is a strong heroine that could go toe-to-toe with Max and hold her own. Another great book my Amy McKinley!

Deadly Words is the start of the brilliant new series ‘Born Bad’ by Meghan O’Flynn. It is a fantastic thriller full of intensity, gripping developments, secrets, twisted details, mystery, drama, layers, a skin crawling creepy vibe, and much more. The story definitely had me in its grip the whole way through, I couldn’t put it down until I had read every raw, gritty, and intriguing detail… There were times I was on the edge of my seat, just about ready to jump out of my skin, but I had to find out what lay over the next page, I just had to know what happened, loving every unpredictable moment of it…. It has Meghan O’Flynn’s signature unpredictable twists and clever touches stamped all over it and I can’t wait to see what she has in store for us in the next book.
Bring on Book #2!!!.

Thank you, Meghan O’Flynn!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

 

3.5 Stars

 

“Easy, little bird. You’ll wear yourself out before it’s time to play.”

Vulture is one of the Order of the Condor, a vampire and specially bred killer whose latest contract becomes a little more complicated than he first imagined. An ancient relic, a multimillion dollar bid, a sassy museum curator, fated mates, hidden agendas, prophecy, vampires, magic, danger, and sizzling chemistry brew into quite an intense situation. There is definitely more to the situation than he expected. He is the predator and Danielle just became his prey. Outbidding her at the auction was just the first step in his plan- abducting her his second step- now, if he can only get her to cooperate and divulge everything she knows about the relic.
Danielle was outbid at the auction, then abducted and thrown in a cage- held captive by the monster for hire. Her world changes in an instant when she realises that all the tales she’s heard aren’t fantasy, they are in fact real- monsters and the supernatural really do exist…… and the fate of the vampire world is at stake.
Code Name: Vulture is the first book in The Order of the Condor Series by Maya Daniels & Sylvia Black. It is a dark paranormal romance with vampires, the supernatural, suspense, action, violence, drama, chemistry, sizzle, danger, magic, bondage, dominance, abduction, captivity, agendas, and mystery.
There were some intense scenes that had me holding my breath, as well as some darkish themes. This is a fairly fast-paced story full of descriptive details- but, I felt like the story suffered a little, at times, due to the hectic pace. I also had a few issues where the wrong word/s were used, for example; esthetic instead of ecstatic- two similar words but with very different meanings…. they pulled me out of the story and had me rereading parts to try to make sense of what I had read.
Code Name: Falcon (Book #2) continues the story of the Order of the Condor- with Falcon and Cara’s story…

Thank you, Maya Daniels and Sylvia Black!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

 

5 Stars

 

First of all, I am soooo happy to find that this instalment isn’t the end of ‘Her Three Immortals’ series- as I was worried it might be after finishing at the previous book. I squealed with delight when I got to the end of ‘The Bow’ and realised there would be another addition to the series!!! I’m one happy book worm right now!!!
The Bow is the third addictive book in Her Three Immortals series by Hazel Storm. And as you have probably figured out- I LOVE LOVE LOVE this series- it is really fantastic and entirely addictive. Hazel Storm earned herself a spot on my favourite authors list and I will happily devour anything and everything she produces!!!
The Bow continues from where we left off at the end of Book #2- so if you haven’t read ‘The God’ yet, I highly recommend that you do so before starting on this story.
It is a brilliant paranormal romance- with more than one love interest- making this a delicious RH story that sizzles right off the pages. This fantasy is full of adventure, action, suspense, interesting and endearing characters (as well as some more detestable cast members), originality, imagination, wonderful world building, magic, drama, danger, Gods/Goddesses, mythology, fate/destiny, trust, emotion, and an intriguing prophecy.
In this instalment, we get to learn so much more about the characters, the Underworld, the Overworld, and the Upperworld. Vanessa has been assigned a task by the Queen of the Underworld- with her very soul at stake if she fails. The assignment sounds simple- but things definitely do not go according to plan- and Vanessa finds herself a prisoner in the Upperworld. So, how is she meant to complete her task if she can’t find a way to escape? With the clock ticking, she is running out of time! But she’s not the only one who needs help! What happens makes for another enthralling read!!
After reading the end of this story with the added tantalizing sneak peak of the next book, which looks set to be amazing by the way- I am excitedly awaiting the release of “The Box” (Book #4)- releasing in November 2021!!! Can. Not. Wait!!!

Thank you, Hazel Storm!

Fight for It (Sunset Cove) by Amy L. Gale

This is the first book by Gale that I’ve read. This short story will leave you wanting more. This was an amazing page-turner.

Alyssa is helping her crush and brother’s best friend with the marketing of an old restaurant. When her ex causes trouble things don’t go as planned. The quote I chose for Alyssa is: “What do you want from me, Ray? You want me to tell you this is great. You want me to watch you ruin everything you worked for since you got here? It’s not happening. I’m out.”

Ray is back in his hometown. Retiring from his boxing career he decides to open an old hang-out spot. He has a chance to do one more fight, but doesn’t when he finds that Alyssa is right. The quote I chose for Ray is: “I get it. You’re scared. But I’m not that asshole you married. You know me, Lys. You know more about me than any girl I’ve ever been with my whole life. You’ve seen me at my best, at my worst, and everywhere in between. And I’ve never been better than when I’m with you.”

Highly recommended for Contemporary Romance lovers.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Home to the Outback is the first in the Bunya Junction book series by Nicole Flockton. This was a sweet story of returning to your hometown and finding all that you actually needed in life was there for you. At first, Dr. Ryan Flanagan seems like he will be full of arrogance but the more we are given into his character, he becomes a very loving and caring individual. I like how he grew into who he became. Most often, plastic surgeons are portrayed as indulgent and snobbish, but this is not the case with Ryan. Sindy Carruthers is the nurse that steals Ryan’s heart and is overcoming her own demons that had her return to Bunya Junction 2 years prior to Ryan’s return and working alongside Ryan’s father figure in the local medical practice. I would absolutely recommend this read. It’s a very easy to get into and short enough that I found my afternoon swept away by the characters. I will be looking out for the next books in this series.

Romancing the Tropics : A Holiday Romance Boxset (A Tropical Cocktail Romance)Romancing the Tropics : A Holiday Romance Boxset by L.M. Mountford
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

For anyone who likes this sort of genre with two very fast-paced short stories, this is a definite must to read. Two back-to-back stories that are completely unrelated. LM Mountford knows how to put a lot of sexy details in a short story and make the reader wish for more.
The first story: Tequila Sunset is about a girl’s best friend and her father. Cassandra has been told she is boring, she is feeling more than inadequate, and is spending some much-needed time in the pool with her best friend Stacey. Stacey’s father, David, is there and -after his divorce- has been noticing Cassandra the same way that she is noticing him. Cue fantasy.
The second story: Beneath the Sheets is a short, romantic story about two lifelong friends who have lost touch. Sarah reaches out to Alex after years apart and he jumps on the first flight to her – no questions asked. Their romance picks up right where it left off all those years ago and makes for a wonderfully sweet and exciting read.

Code Name: Vulture: Dark Vampire Romance (The Order of the Condor Series Book 1)Code Name: Vulture: Dark Vampire Romance by Maya Daniels
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Code Name: Vulture, as advertised, is a dark vampire romance, but what wasn’t advertised was how it’s also an introduction to a different kind of vampire story. More than just a simple by-the-book romance, there’s a complexity to the relationship between Vulture and Danielle. What starts out as a physical attraction goes beyond the skin and with steamy scenes the deeper into the story we go. The authors deliver on a shiver-inducing tale about love, survival, and magic where nothing is as it seems. If you like a story with a little spice and darkness, you’ll love this book. I’ll be keeping an eye out for book two!
