Dead Keen (Things Unseen Book 2) by Anise Eden – Review by Micalah Weatherholtz

Dead Keen (Things Unseen #2)Dead Keen by Anise Eden
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I was so excited to start this book, Dead Keen is book 2 in the Things Unseen series, because I really enjoyed book 1. Neve and Con got into even more shenanigans in book 2. In the process of helping Ciara, cons younger brothers wife, with her mental illness and phantom pain that stems from her relationship with her ex-boyfriend Max. Neve ends up stowing away in Cons car when he tries to question Max, which makes him look incredibly guilty, they end up being left to die in a cave, and are arrested, and taken to jail. I also really enjoyed the sweet, wholesome relationship that is still developing between Neve and Con. They care about each other so much but have fun with each other and the snark level was adorable. I would definitely recommend anyone who enjoys a good thriller with some romance undercurrent to give this novel a try. They don’t have to be read in order to understand the plot but it would help with understanding the characters, their motivations, and relationships. I loved it.

Royally Complicated (The Crowned Hearts Series Book 1) by Gwyn McNamee and Christy Anderson – Review by Angela Shirley

Royally ComplicatedRoyally Complicated by Gwyn McNamee
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Bridget is on her honeymoon but without the groom, finding that her fiancée was having an affair with his secretary will somewhat put a blip in the plans. So arming herself with her best friend and deciding not to waste the trip she finds herself in Lovolia. When Daphne starts pushing her to forget the idiot she was going to marry and have a holiday fling, but when Daphne comments get too close for comfort off storms Bridget with a bottle of tequila.

While wondering Bridget finds herself on a small beach with no crowds accept a lone man surfing in the sea, when all of a sudden she is starring at the most handsome man she has seen in ages and when he approaches her demanding she leaves the private beach something happens between them that makes it impossible to move. Until advances are made and tequila regrets maybe on the cards.

Fyn has pressures most people could not conceive, the next in the line for King all he wants is to live his life the way he wants to live it, but when the King and Queen are pressuring him to marry Princess Abigail who he does not even like it all becomes too much. Fyn does what he loves to unwind and goes surfing at the private beach until he is rudely interrupted by a trespasser. As Fyn gets to know her better the chemistry between the two of them is off the charts but just as he has found her she vanishes and he is lost.

Over the year of searching for her she shows up back in his life and he is not letting her escape again, but with the unrest in his country can he keep hold of the woman he loves and help save the country he loves from the rebels out to destroy the monarchy?

I have read a lot of Gwyn’s books and they all offer strong female leads and this one does not disappoint, although at the beginning Bridget is lost and seems grown down by the end of the story she is determined to fight for her man even if it upsets the Queen/Fyn’s mother. Fyn’s character has different dimensions and with his strong relationship to his best friend Lev shows another layer to this complicated character.

The story flows and is well written, with twists and turns throughout the story will have you engaged until the end. As this is the first book in the series it sets up the world of Lovolia brilliantly and has you wanting to visit to see the various sites that is described within the pages.

I can’t wait to read the next book in this series regarding Lev and Daphne as this seems a fiery relationship in this book.

If Hallmark made raunchy movies, this would be it. Small town girls meets her Prince after a horrible breakup while she goes on her pre-purchased honeymoon. Sprinkle in civil unrest and an evil princess, you have the classic romance novel. I wish we got a little more backstory with each character. Even though they felt an instant connection, I didn’t feel that with our two main characters. I did however, feel the instance hated if Fyn’s parents and abigail towards Bridgette. The descriptions of their encounters were spot on. Ultimately, this This was a quick entertaining read that you will not want to put down.

Royally Complicated: (A Stand-alone Royal Forbidden Romance) (The Crowned Hearts Series Book 1)

So very thankful for long weekends, if today had been a work day I might have called in sick so I could finish devouring this book. I was hooked from the very beginning and only put it down long enough to make supper and eat.

Ms. McNamee and Ms. Anderson’s writing styles blend perfectly in this book. I have read several of their books individually and one other collaboration and have not been disappointed one.

I love trying to figure out what’s going to happen next but they were able to surprise me a few times.

Fyn and Bridget work so well together and even with all that they have to deal with, they find their way.

I already have the next book loaded on my Kindle to read and I can’t wait.

This was an amazing read. The development of the plot and the characters was wonderful. Gwyn does an amazing job of keeping the reader engaged.

This book follows the stories of Bridgets and Fyn. Bridget just wanted to get away from the reality of what happened back home with her ex. her best friend talks her into going on a girls’ trip to help her forget him and move on.

Fyn is tired of his parents meddling in his life and telling him what he can and cannot do all of the time. He just wanted a few hours of solace alone in his favorite place on the island. His own beach where he can enjoy a stress-free ride on the waves.

When Bridget gets fed up with her friend she wanders off with an old friend, a bottle of tequila. She finds her way to a beach that seems to be empty. When she notices a handsome man off in the distance riding the waves. Once he finally, emerges she is entranced by his features. One thing leads to another and they are getting very close and personal. Unfortunately, their intimate moment gets interrupted by the royal guard.

What happens when a commoner sleeps with the crowned prince? Can they be together or is this just a fling? Will the royal family approve of a woman with no noble blood? What happens when two souls are ripped apart?

Read this book to find out what happens with Fyn and Bridget. I also suggest some water because the steam in this book is sure to heat your blood.

A Rainbow Like You by Andrèa Fehsenfeld was such a great story. This is the first I’ve heard of this author and believe me, if they always write like this then sign me up for it all. The characters, the story line, the emotion… truly I have nothing I would change. I appreciate each of the characters and their growth. The book is really big on that, and the friendship between Adrian “Jazzer” and Hastings was beautiful. After coming back from a year long hiatus, Adrian has realized it’s not going to be an easy comeback, he cannot write, his band is falling apart and he’s just found someone has been hiding on the bus, and that’s the last thing he needs. But turns out it’s exactly what he needs at after all. The pair push each other and help one another on their journey through friendship. There are some twists and a lot of heated arguments but lord I can’t with what happened. You’ll have to read it for yourself!!

I have followed this author through many stories and am pleased to find that this book is just as wonderful as the others I have read! Bridget is going through it right now. Her fiancé cheated, and now she’s on “their” honeymoon because who wouldn’t want to get away after an earth-shattering revelation like that? She finds a surfer, Fyn, who turns out to be a prince. Could this turn into a real-life fairytale, or is this just a simple rebound? I really enjoyed the flow of this story as I was sucked into this reality before I realized it. I sat down to read a couple chapters and looked up to find it was hours later! This has romance, drama, steamy scenes, and plenty of other emotions, so go ahead and pick it up to get lost for the day.

We return with Tamaska and Kodiak…the Blood opal is missing and Tamaskas world has been absolutely rocked to the core.
The passion builds between these two as they begrudgingly work together unable to deny the connection between them and the heat that fires so quickly into an inferno.

Tamaska continues to be stubborn and there are many unanswered questions about why she’s starting to feel a little less human and a little more….what exactly.

Can Kodiak protect his pack while dealing with his Alpha who doesn’t want him anywhere near Tamaska and protect Tamaska from the Vampires who want her… blood… or is it more than that

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I have read quite a few books by this author, and none of them disappoint! This one is slightly different as it is non-fiction, but I still absolutely loved every bit of it. I enjoy her point of view on magic, the Tarot, and spirituality in general. It’s no coincidence why I’ve picked up so many of her books! She writes a poem with each card she draws and really leans into how you should reflect on yourself and your situation in order to best receive answers. Instant knowledge or persistent questions will not lead you down the path you’d like with the Tarot. This author will not be losing me as a fan anytime soon, and I urge you to give any one of her books a chance. If you find yourself drawn to Tarot, spirituality, or magic, this one is definitely for you. Even if that doesn’t seem like your genre, you may be pleasantly surprised.

Fueled by tequila, she has a romp on the sand with a stranger…only to find out that stranger is actually the Prince when the royal guard comes looking for him. Fast forward a year and the two are brought together again, determined to make a go at something permanent. However, Fyn has a country in turmoil, an over-bearing mother determined to marry him off to a royal, and the princess of a neighboring country who is determined to be the one to wear the crown. Can these two overcome the obstacles stand in their way? Or will Bridget and Fyn be a fairytale without a happy ending?

I really enjoyed these characters. There were moments that were hot and steamy, some that were tense and catty, and some that were just romantic as can be. It’s a modern telling of a fairytale where the prince and American commoner fall in love and are determined to make it work! I loved it!

Murder Creek (Eve Sawyer Mystery, #1)Murder Creek by Jane Suen
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

This is the first book in the Eve Sawyer Mystery series. Short but enjoyable, this is an easy read.
The writing was descriptive and easy to follow, flowing easily. The characters were interesting, plenty of suspects and suspicious interactions, occasionally leading to red herrings designed to leave you guessing. The storyline was great, I really loved the premise and direction the book was taking. But, while I enjoyed the idea/plot of the story and felt it held a lot of potential, at times it felt a little rushed and as a result underdeveloped. I would have loved for the book to be longer with more depth to the characters and clue discovery as at times it didn’t sense to make sense why/how this occurred. Despite this, I still enjoyed this as an easy, quick and engaging read.
Overall, if you’re looking for an easy read with interesting characters this is an enjoyable read.

Dead Keen (Things Unseen #2)Dead Keen by Anise Eden
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This series is absolutely fantastic. I read the first book, finished that and right away started this one. And just like the other, I enjoyed every page and every word! So so good. Psychological thrillers are one of my favorites and I just love the thrill and suspense I get from these books. Author is very easily and quickly becoming one of my favorites. Had me on the edge of my seat and turning pages because I just needed to know what happens next. Want an adventure? Read this!

Rogue Wolf (Protector Wolf Shifter Series Book 3) by Lilliana Rose – Review by Roxsanne Lesieur.

Rogue Wolf (Protector Wolf Shifter Series Book 3)Rogue Wolf by Lilliana Rose
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Tamaska and Kodiak are back and are still recovering from the latest vampire attack where the pack was reduced and that grief still floods the space as they deal with their losses and bury their dead. Another thing which is flooding the space is blood, both vampire and wolf shifter, it is everywhere and that isn’t priority number one, Kodiak being sworn in as alpha is, but he is challenged and that leads to him having to fight one of his own, it is something he hates, but knows it is also something he needs to do.

After the fight and no further issues, security is upgraded so the pack can stay safe while all of them pull together so that clean up goes more quickly in case of unexpected visitors. Tamaska insists on helping out, but when she asks to go and get something to help the process along, Kodiak is reluctant, they know the vampires are still out there and that they want Tamaska for her blood, but she eventually convinces him and heads out, but her next decision is one that will endanger everyone, she decides to go back home and pick up some belonging and that is where danger calls in, someone is waiting there for her.

Meanwhile, one of the other pack members is researching Tamaska’s ancestry, the jewel they are all fighting over, as well as how to turn a human, what risks there are and whether it can be done at all, this has been demanded of Kodiak because Tamaska wants to be a shifter and a full member of the pack, especially when Kodiak chooses her as his mate over the other pack members. Although Tamaska is trying her best, it seems that she just isn’t doing anything right and being kept in the dark about everything isn’t helping her, but when another attack happens, the worst imaginable scenario happens, the vampires capture Kodiak and want to trade Tamaska for him, neither can think of being without the other, but they also both know how stubborn the other is, but why is Tamaska so important and how will she be able to convince the rest of the pack what she needs to do?

Can the pack figure out the answers to all these questions while still trying to stay together as a pack, or will Kodiak’ choices splinter the pack more thoroughly than any vampire attack could and will Tamaska be able to become a full member? This is another action packed book in this series where danger lies around every corner and secrets, trust and acceptance are woven into a web so tangled, you will have to read until the end to find out where it starts and ends.

As Though You Were Mine by J. Marie Rundquist – Review by Kerry Baker

As Though You Were MineAs Though You Were Mine by J. Marie Rundquist

This book is an absolute rollercoaster of emotions. I knew just from the description of this book that it was going to be good but it was so much better than expected. I was drawn in by each and everyone of the characters. They were well written and it felt like you were taken on the journey with them. I connected right from the start and wanted to see what the book had in store for them.
This was such an emotional story. Witnessing the children have to go through what they did, and watching the other characters deal with the grief and aftermath was heart breaking. The author did a fantastic job of portraying what it must be like. This is a brilliant book and I would highly recommend it.
