Hidden (Ash Park, #4)Hidden by Meghan O’Flynn
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Hidden by Meghan O’Flynn
Four Stars

Hidden is the fourth book in the Ash Park series by Meghan O’Flynn. This series keeps getting better and better. I think Hidden is my favorite in the series so far, but all of the books are wonderfully thrilling and horribly bone chilling. This story outdoor be read as a standalone, but there are recurring characters throughout the series and all the books are great reads. This book and series is full graphic details and gritty suspenseful twists and turns that lean toward terrifying, so this may not be the book for some. This series is really hard to review because I don’t want to give anything away, so I will just say if you love books that get into the minds of killers then this is the book for you. I can’t wait to read book five in this series and hope Ms. O’Flynn continues with this series.

The Plot by Melinda De Ross
Four Stars

The Plot is a suspenseful romance by Melinda De Ross. This is the first book I have read by this author, but definitely won’t be the last. This book had me hooked from the very first page and I couldn’t put it down till the last. Yoko is such a strong woman, made that way by the circumstances in her youth. When things start going her way, being hired by Mark at an antique shop, life starts changing for her. This book had me reaching for a tissue more than once, and I had to struggle with not throwing my iPad across the room at times. I love how this book brought out such big emotions in me. It does deal with sensitive issues like human trafficking and abuse, so may contain triggers for some people, but I think it was handled well by this author. I really enjoyed this book and can’t wait to read more by Melinda De Ross.

The Only One is the first book in The Brothers of Camelot series by Necie Navone.
This is the first book I have read by this author, but definitely won’t be the last. I was poked on the very first page and couldn’t put it down till the very last. I love how Ms. Navone brought these wonderful characters to life and can’t wait to read the rest of the books in this series to see how the other Brothers of Camelot fair. I love the quick wit and the way Bella is so creative with her swearing. The chemistry between Bella is 100% off the charts, and they just meld together as a couple. I love how down to earth all of the characters are. This book flowed so well that I read it in one sitting. Necie Navone has definitely made it on to my must read authors list with this book. This book had my emotions going from laughing out loud to reaching for a tissue, and that is what truly makes a five star book for me. I highly recommend this book and I’m looking forward to digging into the next book in this series soon.

Savannah’s Savior is the fifth book in The Cowboys of Cavern County by Bella Settarra. This is the first book I’ve read in this series and by this author, so it can be read as a standalone, but I’m definitely going back and reading the first four books to get the back history. This western/contemporary romance has a little bit of everything, love, conflict, second chances and as with and triad a learning experience to how three people can live together and communicate their needs to each other.
Savannah is a strong but broken woman, who was kicked out of her home. Tom and Greg are the two alpha males who found her. Will the three learn to accept and trust in their relationship.

Joker’s Fool is the with book in the Satan’s Devils MC series by Manda Mellett. This M/M story blew my sock off. Although this book is part of a series, it can be read as a standalone. This is the first book I have read by Ms. Mellett, but definitely won’t be the last. I plan to go back and read the rest of the series in the near future. This book hooked me on the first page and I couldn’t put it down till the very last. The emotional roller coaster had me up well past my bedtime, but it was well worth the loss of sleep. I love how Lady sticks with Joker throughout his emotional upheaval as he learns how to cope with things from his past and learns how to love himself. This is a true love story. The emotions brought to the surface were truly amazing and heart felt. I highly recommend this book and look forward to reading the rest of the series.

Give and Take is the second book in the Thorne Brothers series by Lee Kilraine. This is the first book I’ve read in this series, and I had no trouble jumping right in. It can be read as a standalone. I have read a few of Ms. Kilraine’s other books but I think this one is my new favorite of hers. I’m definitely going back and reading Give It Up. This book had me hooked from the very first page, I love the witty dialogue and the chat are true to life and likable most of the time. Wyatt Thorne is the strong silent type and Rhia Hollis has a bit of a party girl reputation. When these two meet, the sparks start flying. Their chemistry is off the charts, and if they can control the urge to kill each other and start trusting, they could have a beautiful thing. I liked the fast pace of this story and the way the book had me chuckling out loud. That is what make a great book for me, when it brings your emotions out, be it laughing or crying. I highly recommend this light hearted romance and look forward to reading more in the future.

The Boss Man: A Contemporary Romantic Suspense Novel is the fourth book in The Manly Series by Teddy Hester. This book can be read as a standalone, I know this because this is the first book I have read by Ms. Hester, and I had know problem following this story. I am now planning to go back and read the first three books in this series. This book had me hooked from the very first page, and I couldn’t put it down until I read the last. It was sweet and sexy with a little mystery and suspense added in. Jack DePaul and Jillian Vickers had such chemistry and the characters were believable and down to earth. I enjoyed the witty banter and candid conversations. I love when a book makes me laugh out loud and this book did just that, but there was also mystery and intrigue that kept me guessing. This was a well rounded book that I would highly recommend to anyone wanting a fun, fast paced romance.

Four Stars

Transformations is the first book in the Shifter Series by Cari Schaefer. This is the first book I have read by Ms. Schaefer, but definitely won’t be the last. I can’t wait to see what she has in store for us in the next book in this series. I love the different take this author has on shifter’s, it makes this story unique. The book is slow in parts but nothing that would turn me off from reading the rest of the series. It is interesting to see, how the different family members change and the effects of the feud that started generations before. Katherine (Kat) is a really interesting character, and her family is quirky to say the least. This book is full of witty banter and had me laughing out loud, but it also had some serious parts also. Overall it was a very good read and I can’t wait to read what happens in Transgressions.

This book had me hooked from the very first page and I couldn’t put it down until I read the last page. This book is full of sweet romance, sexy hot characters and an intriguing mystery.

So she is weary of Royce when he moves into town. Thinking he will be leaving with the tourists at the end of the summer, however Royce is here to stay. He just needs to convince Emma of that fact.
This summer book was just perfect to read on this fall afternoon. I highly recommend this book. Thanks to Tarrah Anders for such a great reed.

Repressed is the third book in the Ash Park Series by Meghan O’Flynn. This series keeps getting better and better. This series can be read as stand alone books, but you really don’t want to miss any of this goodness. This book is full of twists and turns that will leave you on the edge of your seat from beginning to end. This book and series is not for the faint of heart, some of the scenes are quite gory. The mind bending story will leave you with a book hangover for days to come. I highly recommend this chilling psychological thriller and can’t wait for the next book in the series.

However the problems begin when they find out Katarina works for Chase. This is a fun read with the witty dialogue. I can’t wait to read the next installment in this series.

Casstiel; Born of Lightning: Dragon Shifter is a book two from the world of Dragonkind ~ 52 Realms by Sheri-Lynn Marean. This paranormal dragon shifter story is the first book I have read by Ms. Merean, but definitely won’t be the last. This story was full of magic, wonderful characters and emotions that will keep you reading well into the night (and believe me it is worth the loss of sleep).
This is the story of Casstiel and Ashara. Casstiel is a Dragon Shifter who lost his mate, but is not able to follow her into the ever after because some kind of tether is holding him back. Ashara is held almost captive to be a baby maker, but never gets to raise her children. She is holding on to the only thing in life that keeps her life worth living, the invisible bound she has with Casstiel.
If you like paranormal this is definitely going to be a great choice for you. I can’t wait to go back and read the first book in this series.

The Kitty Committee: A Novel of Suspense is not the first book I have read by Kathryn Berla, however it is my new favorite. This mystery had me hooked on the very first page and I just couldn’t put it down until I finished it. The secret was kept close to the vest for quite a bit of the book which had me guessing what it would be. I loved how the story jumps in time as Grace tell what is going on in her memories. It spirals around a group of girls that formed during high school and continued on. This story had me frustrated at times because I felt Grace should have known better than to stick with the Kitty Committee when things started going sideways. I have always enjoyed Kathryn’s books and I would recommend it to those that are looking for a good mystery.
