My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Her Blackened Heart is book two of The Blackened series. It follows our main character who is the Villain of the story which provides a unique story line unlike any other. Once again Ms. Sravenheart provides great character description and a much more detailed plot. Her Blackened Soul is the first novel and I wasn’t sure I wanted to continue this story but I’m glad I did because book two had so many twists and turns that it left my head spinning. I’m glad that there is still two books to go in this series because I can’t wait to see what Ms. Sravenheart gives us next.

Her Blackened Soul (The Blackened, #1)Her Blackened Soul by Isra Sravenheart
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Her Blackened Soul was an interesting read, while I typically love paranormal romances I found this one a little more difficult to get into. While the story has a great premise there were times that I felt that the story lagged and I wasn’t able to get lost completely in the story. However Ms. Sravenheart did give me everything that I love in a paranormal romance including magic, drama, twists and turns, and more. Her Blackened Soul is based entirely on a villain which is one of the many reasons I did enjoy it, it’s the first installment in The Blackened series. Although it did have times that the story lagged I generally enjoyed Her Blackened Soul, Ms. Sravenheart’s character development was wonderful and I can’t wait for part two.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Blue Summer part Two is the second installment to this series and this reader loved it just as much as the first installment. Ms. Taylor provides us with a continuation of this paranormal romance story, giving her readers everything from love, magic, romance, drama, suspense and more. Her characters are just as realistic as they were in the first installment, making it easier to fall in love with them, and feel all of their emotions. Based on the cover and the descriptions of this series you aren’t sure what your getting into but once you start you won’t be able to put it down. Ms. Taylor’a writing style is so unique and amazing that I read Blue Summer part Two in one sitting. Her writing style is so easy to get swept away in that I look forward to reading more from her.

Twisted Secrets (Deadly Isles Special Ops #1)Twisted Secrets by Amy McKinley
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Twisted Secrets by Amy McKinley is everything that a romance/action lover hopes for when they pick up a book. The first installment to her Deadly Isles Special Ops series if full of romance, crime, action, murder and more. Ms. McKinley hooks her readers from chapter one and takes us on an emotional and adventurous roller coaster ride. Per usual I love Ms. McKinley’s writing style as it flows evenly, which in turn makes novels like Twisted Secrets a pleasure to read. Her character development is amazing all the way from her navy seal hunk of a male lead to her cute but sexy female lead. She builds her characters chemistry slowly, but in turn develops it so perfectly that it has no problem making this reader want to pick up book two.

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

The Don was a very quick read, it took me a couple of chapters to get into it but once I did I couldn’t put it down. While I am a huge romance lover this book had me even more intrigued because it’s a Greek mythology romance. The Don is the first book in the Her Three Immortals series by Hazel Storm, the chapters were shorter and fast making the book easy to get through. Ms. Storm gives a great scenery setting and wonderful character descriptions, both of which make me look forward to the remaining books in this series. Her female characters are powerful, the male characters intriguing, and all so wonderfully described you won’t know who to root for. So if your looking for a fun, fast read this weekend I highly recommend The Done by Hazel Storm.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Chased by Ms. Felicity Brandon was absolutely amazing, I have to say its one of my new favorite bad boy romances. Upon first reading Chased I didn’t realize it was a series and boy am I glad it is because I want more. Ms. Brandon’s characters bring her story to life as you furiously flip through the pages to see what happens next. This bad boy romance has everything a romance lover needs a girl who won’t bend to ever whim, a sexy bad boy, and twists and turns in every chapter. Felicity Brandon will definitely grab your attention in chapter one and leave you guessing until the very end. So if your looking for a bad boy romance to keep you on your toes then I highly recommend Chased by Felicity Brandon.

The Hunter's Heart (Love After Earth)The Hunter’s Heart by Astrid Sharpe
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Considering The Hunter’s Heart is Ms. Sharpe’s first novel all I can say is wow. One of my favorite things in a book is when an author gives their readers view points from both of their leading characters Ms. Sharpe does this flawlessly in The Hunter’s Heart and it blew me away. Her writing style flows beautifully, her imagination paints beautiful scenery for her readers and her descriptions leave her readers feeling everything that her main characters feel. Her romance goes from a slow simmer to a boil with twists and turns that her readers won’t see coming. While I am not normally a Sci-fi lover, this Sci-fi romance was so good that I can’t wait to see what Ms. Sharpe has planned next.

Bound by Secrets (Deadly Isles Special Ops, #2)Bound by Secrets by Amy McKinley
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Bound by Secrets was just as amazing as Ms. McKinley’s first book in this series. I personally have no idea how I haven’t stumbled across her before now, but I can’t get enough. Bound by Secrets is full of emotions, plot twists, and had me crying more then once. One of the many reasons this book is go great is because it’s a combination of 2 genres second chance romance and military romance. But once again Ms. McKinley’s writing style and story line had this reader flipping the pages faster than she could blink. While this book is part of the Deadly Isles Special Ops series they can be read as stand-alone books. But if your anything like me you’ll read one and be so caught up in the emotions and plot twists that you’ll want to read them all. So if you are looking for an emotional military romance to read this weekend then I highly recommend Bound By Secrets.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Ms. Alexander has done it again, i originally picked up Sugar & Spice because I love Ms. Alexander’s writing style, and she did not disappoint me. Once again her character descriptions are amazing, making her characters so likable and relatable. With the right imagination her characters stories are very easy to get swept up in, her scenery descriptions are breathtaking, almost making her readers feel like their in the story. With Sugar & Spice it was just a little different, knowing this was a romance book I expected a few things but Ms. Alexander deftinitly unfolded some very hot scenes in this one. Sugar & Spice has everything a romance reader will want great characters, love, lust, and more. So if your looking for a great weekend read then I highly recommend Sugar & Spice by Phoebe Alexander.

The Cross of CiaranThe Cross of Ciaran by Andrea Matthews
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Ths Cross of Ciaran was an interesting read for me, while I’ve never really been into novels involving history Ms. Matthews has a way of including it that makes interesting. During this novel she takes us back in time and then brings us back to the present flawlessly. Ms. Matthews sets a beautiful scene with her vivid descriptions, great word building, and fantastic characters. For being one of my first history romance novel I found the plot to be interesting, and Ms. Matthews writing style flows wonderfully. So while this is my first romance novel, I highly recommend The Cross of Ciaran as a highly interesting Romance novel to read.

Wild Vamp: Jaded Vamp Series Book 2Wild Vamp: Jaded Vamp Series Book 2 by L.D. Wosar
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Wild Vamp is book two of this series and it had me on the edge of my seat from beginning to end. Wild Vamp is full of twists and turns, its mysterious and dark but just enough that it has you flipping through the pages as fast as you can. I will admit that I was originally drawn to it just based on the front cover, but it is one of the better vampire novels that I have read in a long time. Ms. Woser’s character descriptions are amazing, each vamp either sexy, beautiful, smart, or any perfect combination of characteristics. Her setting perfectly dark and mysterious, just the right setting for a dark romance novel. So if your looking for a dark, fun novel to read this weekend I highly recommend Wild Vamp.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Nikki Lynn Barrett does it again, Sleeping Angel is just as amazing as Peaceful Slumber was. Once again Ms. Barrett takes us on emotional roller coaster ride, capturing her readers from page 1. This book has literally everything that a reader could possibly want from love, hate, joy, fear, sadness, and more, Ms. Barrett will have you not wanting to put it down. I felt so many emotions in reading this story that I cried multiple times and had chills going down my spine while reading this novel. Just like her other novels Ms. Barrett’s characters have so much depth, and description you can’t help but fall in love with their stories. I have read several of Ms. Barret’s novels and loved them all, but after reading Sleeping Angel I can’t wait to see what she comes up with next.

This book had me on the edge of my seat and these authors write so beautifully that they leave you longing to know what happens next.

All i can say about Sons of Sindicato is oh my gosh. Cam Johns and Sonya Jesus had this reader hooked from chapter one in this mafia book. Their character descriptions are beyond words, you almost feel that they are real people standing in front of you. I found the flow of this novel to be catchy and very graceful, so much so that I read the whole thing in one sitting. Every character is just as important as the next, and you will find yourself quickly falling in love with not only the two main characters but also the axillary characters. Personally I have never been one for mafia books but Cam Johns and Sonya Jesus have completely changed my perspective and I for one can’t wait to see what happens next.

Dirty Kisses and Conflicting Wishes is an absolutely amazing read. Ms. Jacks gives us a wonderful romance, her female character being all sugar and spice and everything nice, and her male character being incredibly sexy, what else can a romance reader ask for. Ms. Jacks scenery and word play are delightful, and her character development will have any romance lover not wanting to put the book down.

So if you love romance, friendship, and great characters  I highly recommend Dirty Kisses and Conflicting Wishes.

Chameleon was a deep dark tale and enveloped me from the first page. I was so entranced by Ms. Kalo’s characters and words that I finished it in one sitting. As amazing as this book is tread with caution it contains a few triggering things including rape, mental illness, and psychological manipulation…but over all it was a great gothic/creepy book that gave me chills during several scenes. Giving us a wonderful creepy, mysterious setting, she will magically hook you from the beginning. Ms. Kalo’s characters are well- developed and her story flows effortlessly, I look forward to seeing more from her.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The Web of Humanity has a lot going on, needless to say that I was not expecting the wild adventure it took me on. Based on a true story The Web of Humanity goes from past to present flawlessly. While thought-provoking the things that The Web of Humanity makes us face aren’t exactly happy  items including racism, war, anger and more. But Ms. Turchin really makes her readers think with all of her different generations, and POV’s. This is my first read by Ms. Turchin, and she packed so much action, mystery, and more into her novel that I can’t wait to see what she comes up with next.

An Unexpected BondingAn Unexpected Bonding by Lilly Rayman
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

An Unexpected Bonding was a very interesting read for me, filled with fantasy, myth, romance, drama and more it had me flipping the pages quickly to see what happens next. Ms. Rayman leads her readers down a very unexpected path and her words are so well written that you never see what is coming next. Ms. Rayman incorporates several wonderfully written characters and their stories but by the end of the book she ties up all the loose ends perfectly. At 395 pages An Unexpected Bonding isn’t too short or too long but more like the perfect length for a lover of the fantasy genre. So if you are looking for a new wonderful fantasy book to read this weekend I highly recommend An Unexpected Bonding by Lilly Rayman.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I initially wanted to read The Way to Storey by L.B. Anne because the cover drew me in, the illustration is fun, the colors warm and inviting, it just looked like fun. But once I got into the story I couldn’t put it down, while this book is much more suited for the middle school age group this reader found it fascinating. Full of great characters, fantasy, wonderful word play that will make your imagination run wild, The Way to Story is just amazing and lighthearted. This is my first book by this author and I have to admit that as a mother of a little girl I will be keeping this author in mind for when she’s older. But personally I hope she makes it into a series because this reader for one wants to know what happens next.

I was a little leary about Southland Academy for Supernatural Youth, so many academy books follow the exact same plot line or close to it, but I was surprised. It has everything that a supernatural lover could want including suspense, friendship, obstacles, and characters that are so fun you will have no trouble connecting with them. This book is well suited for any younger audience but trust me it will keep the adults entertained as well. This is my first book by this author, and I have to say that I can’t wait to read more. So if your looking for a fun supernatural book to read this weekend then pick this one up.

If you love Nancy Drew then you are going to love Ms. Montgomery’s Betrayal at The Beach. I was originally drawn to this book by the front cover, it’s colors and beach theme really drew me in,  but once I started reading it I couldn’t put it down. It has everything that a good cozy mystery book should have including a great sleuth, and her friends, a mystery that will have you guessing until the end, and a wonderful meaning. As with many of Ms. Montgomery’s stories the meaning behind this one is all about body positivity and I love it. If you are looking for a warm and cozy mystery book to curl up with on a rainy day then I highly recommend Betrayal at The Beach.

All I can say about Walker Pride is oh my goodness, I thought I was getting myself into a good cowboy book but it is so much more. I have read several of Ms. Marie’s stories before but when I saw that she was starting a series about cowboys I was hooked from the beginning. Walker pride is so much more then just a cowboy book though, it has romance, drama, suspense, and like any good cowboy story it’s filled with family feuds. Ms. Marie’s character development and scenery makes her reader feel like their right in the middle of it all. I have to say that this story was one of my favorites and I personally can’t wait to see what happens next.

The Lightning Horse (Empire at Twilight, #1)The Lightning Horse by N.L. Holmes
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

If you love historical fiction then you will love N.L. Holmes The Lightning Horse. I was originally drawn to this novel based on it’s front cover, and I was hoping that Ms. Holmes would have a similar writing style to Mr. Riordan and boy oh boy I wasn’t disappointed. Ms. Holmes gives such vivid and beautiful descriptions of her scenery that you almost feel like she’s an artist painting a canvas right in front you. She takes you straight into different historical cultures in her novels and in The Lightning Horse she dives into the Hittite empire. Writing like this doesn’t come easy I would imagine that she pours her heart and soul into her work, and The Lightning Horse certainly proves that. The depth that Ms. Holmes gives her characters and story in general will have her readers flipping pages faster and faster to find out what happens next. I know I can’t wait for Ms. Holmes next installment to the Empire at Twilight series.

As with her first book in the Meraki series Love by Design is amazing. While it can be read as a standalone I highly recommend reading Love is What you Bake of it first for context, reacuring characters, and some family details. Just like the first book Love by Design is a fun, light, and slightly funny book, but don’t let that fool you. While Miss Kammenou gives us a lighter romance story it is still full of adventure, mystery, and drama that will keep you furiously flipping the pages to find out what happens next. Once again Miss Kammenou gives us wonderful character descriptions, great scenery, and overall a wonderful story. I know I for one can’t wait to see what Miss Kammenou gives us next.

Honestly the first thing that drew me to this book was the front cover, but once I started reading I didn’t want to put it down. At only 280 pages Miss Kammenou gives us a story with a lot going on but its not your typical hot and steamy romance novel, instead Miss Kammenou gives us love with a humorous side. So if you are looking for a light, easy read then I highly recommend Love is What You Bake of it.

Based in Glasgow, Miss Lowe leaves you breathless with her descriptions of the city, and she’ll have your head spinning imagining her characters. At only 139 pages Date Night is a short but amazing romance story and I hope the author thinks about continuing the story.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

My Lips Are Sealed is an intense emotional rollercoaster ride for being a young adult story. Being the first of the series it’s not too long at 464 pages but the story hooked me hook, line, and sinker from page one. My Lips Are Sealed has everything a reader could ask for love, death, conspiracy, drama, and a ton of emotion. The characters really brought this book to life for me, Miss. Richter describes their looks and their emotions in such detail that you’ll find yourself feeling like they are real people that these emotional scenarios are happening too. Overall My Lips Are Sealed is an amazing read and I would highly recommend it. This reader for one can’t wait to catch the rest of the series.
