This is the first book in the Winemakers series. It’s a historical romance which is one of my favourite genres and I was not disappointed. I enjoyed the way the author wrote this; it was descriptive enough to transport you to Portugal of the past and easy to follow. Research into the era and backdrop of the story was evident but did not feel like I was reading a research paper, it added realism to the story presented. The characters were great – believable and engaging I was rooting for them beginning to end. Julia and Griffin’s interactions were entertaining from their first meeting and the chemistry grew from there. Julia was written as a strong, capable and independent woman. Her determination and love for her family and her craft is clear as day and I admired her drive and resilience. I can’t wait to read the rest of the series!

This is a fantastic addition to an already incredible series. This book is dark and intense and gripping, just like the previous ones in the series. I was hooked the instant I started reading and could not put the book down until I had finished it. I loved the characters in this book. Their connection, their history. They made the book even more captivating than it was. This author is one that has so quickly become a favourite. Every single book I have read has been incredible and I don’t hesitate to pick up something with their name attached. This is a fantastic book and I am already looking forward to when I can get my hands on the next one.
What a fun and unique this series this is going to be, especially if the rest of the series is as good as this book. It is the first in a new series of novellas about a woman who is discovering herself after getting a divorce. The premise of this book hit really close to home for me and I think because of that I connected with the character even more. You can tell, even from this first book, that her journey is going to be entertaining and enlightening. I cannot wait to see how things play out for her. This book is the first that I have read by this author and I can already tell I am going to be a fan. The writing style made the book come alive and I was pulled into it so easily. I enjoyed this book from start to finish and cannot wait to read the next book.

I had not read the first in series but I wish I had. The book is well written and will captivate all audiences though it is aimed towards 9-12 year olds. This story has so much imagination and the words will bring you so much imagery that you feel like you are in the story. I plan to go back and read the first one and then this one again. Great story!

Wilde – Review by Tanya Wall, September 2023
What a great start to a series that I know I will enjoy. This is book 1 a novella to get you started and there will be much more to come. Bella’s marriage is over after 12 years. After getting over the heartbreak she soon discovers what she was missing. I was so pleased she did not carry on with The Woe Is Me pity party. Instead she called her true friends and they were able to help her work through this. Can Bella move past this? Will she get back herself and move on? Mr. Wimp is forever gone and Hello Mr. Right. I love that Bella is independent and doesn’t not need a man to carry her. She can do just fine, after all she has some great friends. The story does not stop there. The author made this a fun story to read. It was quick and a true page turner. It did not drag on and on about the failing marriage. The women are strong and independent and can move on. Not to say it was easy, but it happened just the same. I am looking forward to book 2 as I know the series will just get more interesting as the stories continue.

Wilde – Review by Cindy Mayberry
I’ve read Magic-Price and The Crown of Stones series, but I wanted to listen to it because I love this series! The audio book did not disappoint. The narrator for Ian Troy brought Magic-Price into a whole new light. I loved getting to re-meet all my favorite characters.
I highly recommend reading Magic-Price if you love epic high fantasy. The main character is not perfect and is trying to atone for his prior sins. There is magic, love, friendship, and forgiveness.

L. Schneider – Review by Callie Luna
For some reason, I have been on a real “piratey” kick lately (so much so that the little one has decided, on her own, to be a pirate for Halloween). Suffice it to say that this young adult, swashbuckling tale hit the spot! Having read this author before, I knew that I was destined to love the vibrant characters and immersing details and definitely was not disappointed! Camden and Annie take turns telling their story, and it did not take long for me to sink right into both of their worlds. There is so much action, adventure, twists, and turns that anyone can appreciate this book. You don’t have to be a young adult or even much into pirates to enjoy yourself with this. After you inhale this book, you are definitely going to want to go check out the author’s other work – I guarantee it.

Mr Wimp: A Steamy, Dating Humour Novella is the first novella in The Human Mating Site. This will be a series of 13 novellas with stories from The Human Mating Site. Bella is divorcing after 12 years of marriage and diving back into the dating pool. The story is a quick, enjoyable read. It is relatable, funny, and more. Dating is difficult, especially after a long break, and Bella’s story deals with this difficulty. There are some steamy bits intermingled with the humor. This is a fast read, but completely worth the time. I really enjoyed the story and the break from reality. I look forward to grabbing more in this series. I think this will be a fun series to read.

Wilde – Review by Sheri Schrader
What a cute book. I loved reading the start of Bella’s story. This was totally entertaining. Joel is what some of us call a “putz.” She’s definitely better off without him. It’s gonna hurt but she’s seeing that she is better without him. I really can’t wait to read more in the story. It’s a short read and quite enjoyable. Absolutely found the writing to be engaging and had you feeling that she could be one of your friends. Bella is character very easy to relate to to. Can’t wait for the next installment.

Wilde – Review by Shelly Kittell
This is the 4th book in the Devil’s Handmaidens MC, Timber-Ghost Montana chapter and OMG this author knows how to write a story that grips you and doesn’t let go. These books can be read as a standalone however once you read one you will want to read more. All these MC romance stories focus on beautiful but broken women and while the steamy scenes are hot and intimate it is the author’s writing and development of the women that really bring these stories to life and make them captivating. The sister this book focuses on is Vixen. Vixen has had a really traumatic start to life. She was part of the trafficking ring where she was used and abused. She found herself becoming an addict and being used for prostitution, but it gets worse when she falls pregnant, her baby is taken away from her and she doesnt know what has happened to it There is not a day that goes by when she doesn’t think about her baby.While she was in that situation she meets Lucas ‘Ironsides’ Dombranski. As she starts to trust him and believes he is her way to safety he leaves her without a word.
Fast forward 5 years later and Vixen is now part of the MC, a friend from her past contacts her needing help and a way out. Vixen knows what she is going through and wants to help but will she be able to cope with going back into a situation that almost killed her before? To make matters worse the MC calls the one person Vixen doesn’t want to see in to help her. When Lucas walks back into her life, after he abandoned Vixen she doesn’t know if she can trust him and all the hurt she buried comes to the surface, however there was a reason for his disappearance that Vixen wasn’t aware of. I can completely understand her feelings of betrayal and hurt when Lucas leaves her to the mercy of her abusive captors.
Now they need to work together to rescue the women who need help. But with the danger of Vixen’s captor lurking in the background wanting to destroy her once and for all, Lucas puts himself forward to protect the woman he loved. What happens as they work together to save the other women? Can the bridges be rebuild between them? Can Vixen ever forgive him for abandoning her all those years ago?
This story is a dark, gripping and extremely emotional read which is just what i expect from this author. The romance is steamy and intense which is a perfect fit for these women, they love as hard as they fight to protect. There are definately triggers in this book for some readers which they need to be aware of. I have to say Vixen is definately one of my favourite characters. Even after everything she has gone through and how destroyed she was, the fact that she has come back and build herself stronger and the fact she is ready to put herself back into the situation that nearly destroyed her to save others really made me love her all the more. This is another great addition to this series. This author never fails to impress me and leaves me wanting more.
This is the first book in The Human Mating Site series where we follow Bella. It was a quick read and I loved it. In this part of the story we meet Bella and Joel who have been together and married for years. Even though there is no passion or spark they have carried on after all after so many years together not having a spark is normal right? They carry on like this until the day Joel throws a bomb into the relationship and tells Bella he wants to end their marriage. Bella is heartbroken and as things begin to come to light that pain and heartbreak turns to anger. When she is free she realises how much of herself she lost by being with Joel, over the years he has brought her down and made her lose sight of who she is. Is this story is called Mr Wimp and omg Joel is definately that. At points I was screaming at him to grow and pair and tell the truth but his refusal to do that only showed Bella even more how much of a favour he was doing her by ending things. I loved Bella’s character and her growth in this first story was unreal and inspiring as with the help of her friends she slowly starts to find herself again. I can’t wait to read about the next stages in Bella’s life.

After reading the Mother’s Threat all i can say is wow. Susan did a great job writing this book. I truly can’t wait to read more of her work. The details in the book was amazing. I loved the cover photo. The characters and world building was on point. The Mother’s Threat had a lot of twists in it. I didn’t know what to expect next.
It’s that hot guy meets girl next door story. But it comes with plot twists. This book was fun to read and I look forward to reading the next one! Can’t wait to hear what happens next!

I have read a few books by this wonderful author now and I have to say not a single one has ever disappointed me in any way. They truly just keep getting better and better. She always creates such wonderful, relatable characters and storylines that keep y0u turning page after page. I simply love her style! This particular book brings us the story of Ethan and Olivia and as you would expect their path to love is not smooth or easy! These characters weaved their way straight into my heart where I am sure they will stay for a long time.

This amazing series follows the band Balefire and brings with it wonderful characters, fun storylines and of course loads of sex and rock ‘n’ roll. This particular book is Dakota and Annabelle’s story and it will pull you in and keep you hooked. There is one character I really hate right now and I so hope Karma catches up with him somewhere in the next books of the series. Even though these are written as standalones I would read right from the start just to have things flow better for you. You won’t regret it I promise you!!

Winter Austin’s series The McIntire County Series is well written and keeps me on the edge, making me wonder what will happen next. I really like seeing and learning more about the characters and how they get incorporated and grow in this second book. It also continues to show a strong female character in Deputy Cassy and her struggle with PTSD. The book has danger, suspense, romance, and so much more. The author does a wonderful job of character and world building.

Hoodoo, Texas, a town overflowing with vampires, root workers, werewolves, and… me. Folks may tolerate my Thor hand, the daily chats with spirits, and general crankiness. But last night’s monstrous makeover might finally be a step too far.
My new boyfriend is sexy as sin, keeping more secrets than a politician, and is moving his non-human behind into my haunted Victorian mansion. Of course, he blames the new living arrangement on someone wanting me dead—again.
What can I say? It’s a gift.
When my estranged father comes to town, things get dicier. He’s not only a deadbeat but a freaking storm deity who prefers revenge over a loving reunion. And get this – he issued the mother of ultimatums: either I murder my boyfriend or Hoodoo, Texas will be destroyed.
Agau may be a god, but he’s not the boss of me.
Can a menopausal monster save a small town from destruction without losing the sexy boyfriend and the re-vamped love of her family and friends? Find out in Mystical Midlife Mate. Fans of Darynda Jones, Patricia Briggs, and K.F. Breene will love the Boudin, Barbecue, and Hoodoo series.
Join Bella, a ray of pure sunshine and an avid steamy romance reader, while she searches for Mr. Right.
Mr. Wimp is the beginning of her story, as she splits from her husband. After twelve years together, Bella never thought she’d be back in the dating pool. She quickly realizes how much of herself was lost in her relationship with her ex.
The human mating site isn’t so bad, if all you want is some fun to gain your confidence back. Hell, Bella can even act out some of the scenes in the spicy romance books she has read! Online dating is full of amusing plot twists and sexy fun. Bella soon learns that becoming single in your thirties has never been so sexually liberating.
The series will consist of 13 novellas, with 13 different Mr. Right Now’s (that include plenty of grumpy, sexy, witty and alpha men), and will be released monthly.

This was a good 4 star read. Rockstar romance is one of my top favorite genres and I really enjoyed this one. Annabelle and Dakota had a night of fun, but for some reason he just couldn’t shake her. Of course fate brings them together at a wedding and old feelings stir up. With another twist of fate Annabelle finds herself working with the band. Will she be able to resist him and do her job?
Overall this was a good read. The author does a great job with her writing and pulls you right in. All of the characters added a great element to the story. I look forward to reading more from this author. 1-click and get started today.

Will I ever tire of this series? The answer is a resounding NO. I have loved each and every book in the Hidden Valley Elite series, and somehow each one keeps me on my toes and excited for what’s to come! I was immediately caught up in Phoenix and Aspen’s back and forth verbal jabs, and the unplanned pregnancy added a whole different level of tension to their story. The flow of this book was flawless which makes it that much easier to get lost in this alternate reality. Don’t miss out on this wonderful addition to the series or you’ll kick yourself later. I can’t wait to see what this author has in store for us next!

4/5 stars I read the first book so I was familiar with the characters. I did enjoy this book better than the first which usually doesn’t happen often. I applaud the author for touching on a topic that doesn’t get much attention. I did like that the series continued with its focus on Rebecca and Kyle instead of switching it up.

This series has a huge grip on me! I truly love the way the author writes. You MUST read Cruel Start before this! This book in particular we are focusing on Aspen and Phoenix. Their growth is something I truly have loved so far!

THAT LAST CHAPTER?? WHAT? WHY? I can’t even handle it! 😭😭 I’m so stressed right now and I need the next book, STAT! As I’ve said in my previous reviews on the other books in this series, THEY ARE MY ABSOLUTE FAVORITE!! Every single book has been phenomenal and I’m obsessed with them. The emotions I feel with these books are out of this world. One minute I’m laughing and in love then the next I’m angry and crying. The author is easily one of my favorites because of this series! If you want a great story, with twists and turns, drama, jealousy, angst…read this! You’ll fall in love too!!!

This was significantly better than the book before it Cruel Start. I was very hesitant to read this after my feelings for the first book but I was pleasantly surprised that I enjoyed it with a few things bugging me! There were some parts that seemed dragged out and forced but overall it was a fun easy read.

This is an author that I have enjoyed reading from the first book I picked up. This book is part of a series that has strong women and maybe even a little broken. I highly suggest reading the other books in this series to help your enjoyment of this author’s writing skills and characters. This is one of my favorite stories yet in this series. I found it to be well written and hard to put down. It is a romance story that is full of drama and keeps me engaged to the end. I enjoyed how the author used details to make the story realistic and really just pop. The characters are not only connectable but determined and well rounded. There is great growth with them as well as the plot which made the story easy to read. This is a story you don’t want to miss out on for sure. It is a must read that I highly recommend.
