WE Blend (Falling for the Rockstar's Daughter Series #1)WE Blend by Willa Drew
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Read this if you enjoy:
*friends to lover’s trope
*music and performances
*the popstar lifestyle
*unexpected secrets

Meet the Author: Willa Drew is not one, but two writers of fun, flirty fiction full of feels. (Say that three times!) Lovers of emotional scenes, dramatic scenarios, and the best the world has to offer. Their young adult and new adult romances are full of angst, secrets, and risk taking. You can expect slow burns, heart flutters, soul mates, first loves, and swoon worthy kisses.

Synopsis: “Music isn’t just some hobby: it’s my everything.” Mel is on a mission to achieve her life goals and follow her dreams. 10 minutes before show time she finds her guitarist sloppy drunk at the bar. Wil, a talented guitarist, in the states on scholarship happens to be in the right place at the right time. The two perform on stage together and the chemistry ignites.

Reader’s Thoughts: This is my second time reading a novel by Willa Drew. I was immediately sucked in and couldn’t put this one down. From the bodyguards and paparazzi to the secrets and lies and the strong family ties, this story had my heart singing for more. Mel’s constant reference to everything music put a sweet touch on this novel. With Mel and Wil’s (WE) cute banter I couldn’t help but adore their slow burn relationship. I was pleased that this novel was not overly mushy, and the relationship was so pure in more ways than one. We Blend is the first installment of the Falling for the Rockstar’s Daughter Series. After the cliffhanger at the end, I can’t wait for We Breathe to be released next year.

Grave Digger Academy IIGrave Digger Academy II by C.A. King
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

There’s a reason people don’t believe in monsters and it’s not because they don’t exist!! Boy are you in for a treat with this set!! I am LOVING it!! I could totally see this set put into a movie!! And if it ever does, know I will be watching it asap!! Anyways, to the book!! This is Makayla’s second year in the paranormal academy system. THANKFULLY, she doesn’t have to ride the bus the first day and her brothers can drive her. After finding out last year that she wouldn’t be going to any other school, because she’s being watched, she must make the best of it. She doesn’t know what is in store for her that year until her and her class are called back early. Thinking that she will get some time in the local village she’s excited to get there. Boy is her first day, yet AGAIN, an adventure though!! Maybe she’s seeing things, but getting to the library is strange. With the one and only transfer position withheld last year, she has all the same classmates, so they meet up on the way. Maybe they won’t be separated this year. Maybe classes will go back to normal. Hopefully?? Upon arriving at the school they learn about some changes, good and bad. But at least they are letting her have a bit more freedom! Which is good because the school is participating in an academy competition with the other schools and she can use all the help she can! If they can win they can bring some desperately needed funding and prestige back to the once sought after school, but if they lose the school could close down forever! Then what would happen to her?! No one WANTS to go to Grave Digger Academy anymore. Most are thrown into it like Makayla, without any say in the matter. So if she is kicked out of the one place that took her she dreads what might come next!! But she is determined to save the school, learn as much magic as she can, and find out more about her family history and all the weird things that seem to be attracted to her! But something is off about the competition and the map. The map changes after the competition is already under way. There was to be no interference and no one is allowed on the map except the competitors and their helpers if they choose to bring them. When their own shovels in their back yard throw her in the wrong direction she knows something is up. Will she help win the competition and in turn help save the school? Where is this shovel taking her?! Why does it always have to happen to her?? Makayla is out of options and must do something desperate to not only save herself, but the school. Will her plan backfire and in turn everything burn down around her? And who is messing with not only her, but the competition?! Man oh man I can’t wait to read the rest of this set! I am invested to see what happens next!! You COULD read this book alone, BUT I wouldn’t recommend it. Some stuff happens in the first book that is referenced in this book and you will be a bit lost. Anyways, grab this book (and the others!) and unearth the mysteries to the Grave Digger Academy!

Master Romano (Masters of the Consulate Book 4) by Sylvia Black – Review by Dr. Anya Schultz

Master RomanoMaster Romano by Sylvia Black
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Master Romano: Dark Vampire Romance is a vampire romance – the 4th book in the author’s series. Master Romano is a vampire who is the “leader” of vampires in the Romania area. He is said to be a “dark-souled beast”. He is under investigation by the head Master of Vampires because they have come to find out that a loyal confidant has gone rogue and they need to understand if Romano is behind it. Romano has stated that he is innocent in all of this, but will help find out what is going on because he is being set up. When arriving home, he encounters a witch named Raven, and witches and vampires have been long- time enemies. However, Raven (even though slightly scared due to the legends of the vampires) and Romano (even though states to not trust witches) feels something different, an energy, a connection that neither understands. However, not growing up in the witch world, Raven tends to be creative, defiant, and curiosity always gets the better of her. Their first meeting is very short since Raven transports herself out of danger, however they meet again at a local bar that both tend to be patroning. The “come get me eyes” are being projected by both of them, but are cut off when her aunt and sister enter the bar to take her back to their haven. In the midst of this event, other vampire and vampire confidants come in and grab the 3 witches. Romano has a bad feeling about this and ends up saving Raven even though it went against his better judgment. This encounter starts an alliance between the two and a budding romance. Can the two of them work together well enough, trust each other enough, to save her family and his reputation in the vampire world?
I have read the entire series thus far and I love this vampire romance. Romano was a great character. Even though he is stated to be an evil beast, I found him to be burly, but with a sweet, loving, and understanding side to him, as well. He is portrayed as a leader, smart, cunning, protective, but also cautious, at the same time. Raven was also a great compliment to his burliness. She is spunky, smart, witty, playful, and comically could stand up to Romano. I loved their dynamic when it came to the romantic part of their relationship. I am not a “let it build up” type of book lover, so when they just let all their feelings out almost upfront at the beginning, I was there for that. This was a quick read, action filled, a twisty plot, with great characters. I am excited for the last book in the series to come out!

I loved the underlying lesson in this book. Ultimately persistence pays off.

Read this with Miss 12 as it’s a lesson that she needs to learn too. She loved the illustrations and the style. It’s rare for her to read a book from start to finish but she really enjoyed this one.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Ella has been stuck on tour with Jared for months and it is becoming harder to avoid the grumpy drummer, it also does not help we have a history and he is a man whore but in just a couple of days I will be away in a cabin with no interruptions will be bliss.

After leaving the tour early she arrives in the beautiful cabin in the mountains alone and we the piece and quiet she wanted desperately awaiting the rest of the girls until the bliss is shattered and in walks the one person she is trying to get away from, the man who broke her heart Jared.

Jared is lost at the moment, with the tour being over he needs the downtime and were better to have it than his friends cabin in the mountains. Once he arrived he is greeted by the one person he is trying to escape from, the one woman who has bury in his soul and want let go.

Then the unthinkable happens, they are snowed in. As the realisation of the situation they try and draw a truce but will time alone together trigger the truth that they are truly meant to be together.

I love the Enemies to friends genre and this story is brilliant and well written. The story shows inside the minds of both characters who are a little jaded regarding each other and themselves but try to discover the true person. Although the character had me confused with his dramatic switches for most of the story but in the end I did get to love him more and more as his true character was revealed.

The character of Ella was a fitting opposite although I would have liked her a bit more sassy in the attitude she complimented Jared brilliantly. The story was engaging and held my interest through till the end and although this is the first book I have read within this series I found you could read this as a stand alone book, that said I will go back and read the others in this series as I would like to see how the other couples met.

Thank you for a lovely read and as before can’t wait to read more in this series.

El & Wil make such a cute couple. She’s trying to live her dream. Her mom and stepfather, the rocker, are in the way. Wil meets her when he tries to get to know his stepfather, the rocker. I have to say that the adventure of avoiding The Rocker kept me chuckling. I loved the chemistry of El & Wil. The tone of the story is cute and entertaining. I found the characters quite a delight. They just want to get on with their life. When Wil takes her home to meet his mom is precious and the sweetest. I found this one of the most adorable romance novels and I really can’t wait for the next book in the series. The humor, drama, and romance all come together to create a book that everyone can enjoy.

Stage name. Secret plans. Real love. 

Escaping the shadow of my famous rockstar step-father… and the paparazzi, is how I find myself microphone-in-hand at a bar off campus wearing a disguise and my heart on my sleeve.

I just want to sing. I need melodies like I need air to breathe. Music isn’t just some hobby: it’s my everything. And from the moment Wil steps on that stage next to me, I know my life won’t ever be the same.

Our connection is instant. We want each other almost as much as we want the money. He’s in the States on scholarship, and I’m trying to make my way in the industry. We forge an alliance, not knowing the secrets we both keep.

Even tangled in a duet of lies, we make sense . . . we blend. Together, we could have it all. Or lose our hearts.

Was the death of her college roommate’s father suicide or murder?

That question takes Beck O’Rourke to Miami in this fourth standalone book in the Cozy Mysteries To Die For series.

With three successful murder investigations under her belt, Beck enters the privileged world of her spoiled freshman roommate and her fractured family to take on her first paid job as a private investigator.

Heirs stand to inherit millions from the death of Benjamin Greene. Was it more than a coincidence that he died the night before he was meeting with his lawyer to change his will?

An Inheritance To Die For brings readers back to the Beach Reads bookstore and café, a block off the ocean in quaint Manatee Beach, Florida. Returning are Beck’s spirited grandmother Miss Alice, her fiesty lifeguard sister Lizzie, town character Scratchoff McLean, and, of course, her love interest, handsome Manatee Beach Police detective Devon Mathis.

Will their romance ever get off the ground?

A Love Restrained by Becky Flade – Review by M Policicchio

A Love Restrained (Philly Heat series, #1)A Love Restrained by Becky Flade
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book is fantastic. I was hooked by the middle of the 2nd page. When Kylee handcuffed Jayson, I thought to myself, “Oh, this just got interesting.” It made me smile, it made me laugh, I might have even misted a little bit. Loved these characters.

Kylee has a distinct view of the world. Everything is either right or wrong. Justice must be served. Kylee proves this everyday as a police officer. Everything in her world worked great until she ran into the love of her life, the one that got away in high school. Then things exploded.

Jayson is a criminal. He should have nothing to do with Kylee. She has always been too good for him, better than him. His abusive alcoholic father and disappearing mother taught him that. Now as the go to fixer for the local drug lord, Jayson puts Kylee at risk just by association. When things get too real for everyone to handle, Jayson has to make a huge sacrifice.

Daaaaaaaaang….I was not prepared for what happened next. I can’t tell you what happened. You just have to read to find out but I will tell you that it will rock your world. All the twists. All the turns. This just proves that if two people are meant to be, they will find a way. Excellent!! Couldn’t put it down!!

Defying EllaDefying Ella by Morgana Bevan
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This was my first experience with this series but I am now a fan. The chemistry between Ella and Jared was super hot. Even when they were at each other’s throats, the electricity danced on the page.

Ella met the man of her dreams only for him to disappoint her one week later. When she walked away, Ella hoped to never see him again. Imagine her surprise when he turned up in her sister’s kitchen. Now she is on tour with her sister and her sister’s boyfriend’s band (guess who the drummer is?) having to watch the man she thought was special be your typical rockstar with a rotating bevy of groupies.

Jared can’t explain his attraction to Ella. Jared doesn’t want to. He just wants to be a rockstar. When Ella comes on tour with the band as the nanny, Jared plans to avoid and ignore. That doesn’t work. Just being around her sets him off in all the wrong ways. The only way he can escape her and his feelings is to avail himself of the opportunities presented.

When Ella plans a girls trip and heads to the cabin early to escape Jared, Ella gets an unexpected visitor. Seems like there was a giant miscommunication. This could be easily solved except for the six feet of snow that piled up overnight and that keeps coming down. Now Jared and Ella are stuck together until they can be dug out.

Fantastic story. Fun characters and love the relationship between Ella and her sister. Special shout out for the special care in discussing and addressing the mental health issues. Bonus points awarded!! Now, I have to go back and get to know the rest of the band!!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

 

4 Stars

 

Defying Ella is the fourth book in the True Platinum series by Morgana Bevan. This is the first book that I have read by Ms. Bevan- and I have to say, what a great introduction it was. I didn’t realise when I snapped up a copy of this book, that it was the fourth book in the series. But it appears that each instalment in the series focuses on a different couple- so each book can be read as a standalone. But having said that, this story has left me with a taste for more of Ms. Bevan’s work- so I will definitely be one-clicking the rest of the series to explore. I can’t wait to discover more about the other characters and what has happened previously.
Here we meet bad boy rocker Jared, whom I both wanted to throttle and lick, sometimes simultaneously. At first I wasn’t sure if I was going to like him- but he won me over. Ella, Ella, Ella- I wanted to hug her- and then shake her, hard, out of complete frustration. All the push-pull, hate-love-hate, angsty tension and drama played a fine tune with my all my emotions, that’s for sure.
If you love your bad boy Rockstar romances, then you won’t want to miss getting your hands on a copy of this book and diving in asap.
Happy Reading!

Thank you, Morgana Bevan!

Ella has just spent time on tour with a guy who she had a brief fling with (and who seems to love making her life miserable), and she is looking forward to a couple of weeks in a cabin with all her best girlfriends. After going up early, she is shocked when said pain-in-the-butt rockstar arrives…along with a snowstorm that traps them in. In the days that follow…Jaren and Ella go from wanting to kill each other, to calling a truce, to opening up and being honest, to sharing time between the sheets. Jared learns about the way Ella truly feels about herself and her place in the world…while Ella learns about the mask Jared wears daily. However, when the snow is cleared and they can return home, will their truce and feelings last? Or was it just a way for Jared to pass the time? What happens when lines become blurred and lies feel like truths?

I enjoyed reading this book. The way Ella feels about trying to find her place and purpose, and Jareds anxiety and need to hide who he really is and how he really feels, felt real coming off the pages. These are situations and feelings that people have to deal with…and it was discussed openly and honestly. The storyline was good and kept me engaged from beginning to end.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I loved that at the beginning of the book, there was a summary of what has happened in the first three books of this series. This was very helpful for me since I started on this book, number four. Kara wants to be a warrior, not settled down in an arranged marriage. With this in mind, she runs away in order to fight in the battle. Does Kara have what it takes to become an amazing warrior and for those around her to see her more than just a girl? This was a fun, action packed, mystical book. The characters were easy to like and the story kept you reeled in.

A lovers to enemies to lovers classic! This was my first read by this author and it didn’t disappoint. As evidenced by my review, this can be read as a standalone, though it is part of a series; I certainly intend on going back and reading the ones I’ve missed now though. I read this in one sitting because I couldn’t put it down!

Ella and Jared’s story is a page-turner full of tension and vulnerability. Who wants to be snowed-in with their former lover and current enemy? Always on each other’s last nerve and full or spit and vinegar, Ella and Jared eventually let their guards down and open up to one another…but is it enough to last? Will they even survive the holiday snowed-in together?

I loved the unraveling of this story and the details provided by the author that helps build the characters up. Told from Ella’s perspective, we know her the best, but also get to see many sides of Jared. I really enjoyed the banter between the characters. The tension is palpable through the book story. I highly recommend this one!

Overall I loved these characters and their story. We get some steamy scenes as well. The author does a great job with her writing. This can be read as a standalone even though it’s part of a great series. If you like Rockstar romance you will love this one. 1-click and get started today.

This was an interesting read! I liked that this was a different take on elementals than what I’ve read before in the past. It was fast paced, and full of sexual tension and sizzling energy throughout the whole book. Some of the scenes felt a little rushed but overall it was a good read. This is the first book in the Elemental Warriors series and I’m intrigued to see where the rest of the books go.

I love a good rockstar bad boy romance with a good girl attached. Jared and Ella went through so much with each other. So much insecurity and misunderstanding, but also so much love. Jared was someone you hate to love, but rooted for along the way. Ella was a bleeding heart and wore her feelings on her sleeve. From start to finish I liked their story and this is one journey you will enjoy following.

This book was funny and pulled you in and spat you back out! Ella has a heart like no other and is very forgiving but understanding at that. Jared is hot and a jerk to say the least but it’s a cover and Ella sees right through it. She does what is right and best for her and Jared toward the end which makes him grow up and make the right choices. I can’t get over Sparky and Buttercup. I know that when the part came along where they were finally free my heart broke and I cried for Ella in shock and disbelief at Jared, I’m not sure I could have let him back in but that is what makes her a special character.

I had not read the first three books in the series, but the story was definitely great as a standalone. There was enough backstory on the other characters to not feel overwhelming or possibly repetitive if you had read them all, but just enough detail to know what was going on, but know that there was more to their stories. I absolutely adored Ella and Jared! I love my rom-coms, but so often I feel like they follow such a predictable pattern and everything is always wrapped up so neatly. This story absolutely kept me on my toes as to what was going to happen next and the author did a great job of showing two people who want to be together, but they are messy and it’s ok. I loved how real the dynamics felt between the two characters. I would absolutely recommend this to anyone who is looking for a great story with some very steamy scenes. I can’t wait to check out the other books and any future books in the series.

Defying Ella is a Rockstar contemporary romance. Even though it is the fourth in the True Platinum Series where each book is cantered around a different couple but can be read as standalones. It is a tale that had me up in arms at times. It is a love hate but hate to love relationship. The story really packs a punch in the feels and left me wanting more. I wish it had been written in dual POV because it would have really would have blown us away.

Jared is a bad boy rock star with attitude one where you want to smack him down for is treatment of Ella but then swoon after him. You find out why and that does redeem him.

Ella hates how she wants him. I didn’t know if I wanted to hug her or tell her to walk out the door and leave him and his sexiness behind. But the heart wants what the heart wants and it lets you see more than what is on the surface. However, she is not a walkover.

This book is part of a series where each member of a band has their own book. This book can be read as a stand-alone as that’s how I read it but the characters have history that I’m assuming were explained in a previous book. That didn’t make me love it any less. Ella and Jared had previously met and spent a week together until Jared just pushed her away to do his own rockstar thing. Ella ends up on tour with Jared’s band, her sister and her niece and has to see Jared parade his flavor of the night around all the time. That is until Jared and Ella are somewhere together for a long period of time.
Ella cannot stand to be in the same room as Jared and his mood swings. What will happen now when they are stranded with no one but eachother. I absolutely loved this book and wish I read the others.

Tropical Date: Billionaire Romantic Comedy (Postscript Island #2) by R. S. Jonesee

This is the first book I’ve read by the author. Tropical Date is the second book in the Postscript Island Series. I’m going to be looking for the first book soon. This was amazing and I hope there’s more.

Weston escapes to the states and runs into someone from his past. He’s a billionaire and normally things don’t frazzle him. Can they make it work and forget the past? The quote I chose for Weston is: “Paris, go on with the meeting. Mrs. Snowwoman has my vote. Make sure we add a gold star to her accessories.”

Marissa goes to college and gets her art degree. She paints to get over her missing boyfriend. When she runs into Weston things get difficult. The quote I chose for Marissa is: “Oh, please. I was working on a college degree and opening a store. Scatterbrained, I’d say.”

Highly recommended for Romantic Comedy lovers.

I was really excited to read the next book in this series and it definitely lived up to my expectations. The book is well written and exciting to read, full of mystery and suspense. I really enjoyed getting to know more about the characters and seeing how they had developed over the two books.
I thought the author has done a great job of adding to this series. If the rest of it is anything like the first two books then it is certainly going to be a great one.
