The Boys of Alpha Block by Nancy Nau Sullivan
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
This story tugged at all of the emotions. It felt as if you lived with the boys as the story was being told. I will definitely be looking for more by this author.
Obedience by Liza Snow
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
I really like to find new authors and new series. This book ticked both boxes. I really enjoyed reading this book as the author brought the characters to life. There is just enough drama mixed in with romance that it was well balanced. I like how the author was able to build the world around a sort of faux pox of student teacher romance. I was drawn into the book from page one and didn’t want to put this book down. The characters have a electrifying chemistry and just jump off of the pages. I look forward to reading more from this author and this series.

Devil’s Breath by Lang Johnson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
“There are some who can live without wild things, and there are those who cannot.” -Aldo Leopold
This book, Devils Breath, really surprised me with how much I really enjoyed it. I think we have all come to expect the same storylines from romance novels no matter what genre they fall into. This was a romantic suspense, femme fatale type romance. Devils Breath was fresh and new for me and I was pulled into the book immediately. Cover to cover Cassius, Sera, and Raine kept me on the edge of my seat. It was a wild thrill ride from start to finish and the ending was great. I really like the main characters from the start. Sera’s journey within herself, from caged, monstrous, ice queen, with ultimate control, made by her father, to the warm, welcoming, emotional woman she really was just looking for someone to show her what love really means was pretty powerful after everything she’d had to endure her entire life. Cassius with his stoicism, and endless patience but ruthlessness when needed made him very endearing to me as a reader. No one in real life is perfect, everyone is fighting some type of battle we know nothing about. The author made the characters so real and human I felt like they could jump off the page. There were even a few times in the book that made me laugh and giggle while reading it. The author’s ability to stitch all of that together was flawless and everything came together very well. 5 thumbs up for Devils Breath. I would definitely recommend giving it a try especially if your tired of that same old romance troupe.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars
I thoroughly enjoyed this book. Both lead characters are very strong and determined in their journey. They have a kind of love that is real and is hard to navigate, just like any real relationship. This story has some twist and turns and makes you keep reading until you are finished.
The Mastermind by Nadia Han
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
To put it simply I was hooked from the first word to the very last! This book truly has it all… a creative storyline where everything was interconnected perfectly so that the reader is kept constantly intrigued, wonderful characters full of depth and so many twists and turns that putting it down simply was not an option. This talented author definitely has a fan in me and I can’t wait for the next book in the series!
Devil’s Breath by Lang Johnson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Devil’s Breath is a suspense romance about an assassin named Sera and her mark, Cassius. Sera grew up poor with an abusive father after her mother died from drugs. Sera’s biggest weakness is satisfying her father, no matter what. Her father and a couple of associates want to invest in a “gems” company. This “gems” company is actually a way to sell drugs under the radar due to Sera’s brilliant chemistry mind. However, while she is a millionaire, they need a backer, that is where Cassius comes in. Cassius is one of the associate’s brothers, who hates him and wants revenge on the family he was disowned from. What they all didn’t count on was Cassius’ crazy smart brain and the fact that Sera’s tough exterior could have a flaw. Will Cassius figure out the plan before he loses his life? Will Sera’s tough exterior faulter for anyone besides her father? A game of cat and mouse is a good one!
I enjoyed this book a lot. It always helps when you have a badass female lead who is an assassin with daddy issues. You get to see her transformation throughout the book and give you hope that people might be able to do and be better. However, her daddy issues did make me want to slap her at times. The two characters together had great banter, which I thrive off of. However, Cassius, oh my, he was my favorite character in the book. He was adventurous, charming, down to earth, and understanding. How he treated the people around him, especially Sera, just made you melt! He was a broken but honest, lovable, really good man that you just couldn’t help falling in love with.

This book takes you to two different worlds and has you wondering how any of the characters will make it out alive. Very suspensful and well written. Cant wait to see what else this author can bring to the “book world”.

Night Justice (A Chicago Vigilantes Novel Book 1) Audio Book by India Kells
4 Stars!!!!
I have no listened to the audio book and I have to admit that it really does add to the book and experience.
The narrator does such a great job not only with different accents and voices but also with emotion and feeling
in the reading. I really find the choice of narrator a good choice. Sometimes it can be a toss whether or
not audio will add but in this case it definitely did. I really enjoyed this second reading of the book
and as in most cases found new things that I had overlooked when reading the normal book.
I have read another series by this author and I have to say that I was not let down with this new
series. I really like the author’s style and find her plot very original. I also like how the characters
just really come to life and just seem to jump off of the page.
I like how there is drama and intrigue along with romance. All the elements are very balanced and the
book really just flows. I was not able to put it down. I really like how Orla works with the vigilanty and
how their connection blooms. I like how there is a crime element to the romance and that both genres
really blend together to a great start to a series. I will read more from this author in the future and this
series.
