I have to say.. I was on the edge of my seat with each paragraph I read. I was eager to know what happened next. In some instances, it was predictable, but other times I was surprised. There was an incredible amount of detail in each paragraph, that there was a deep understanding for the characters and what they were thinking. The way the author wrote about the characters and the plot felt like I was watching a movie.

I cannot get over the detail. Troy comes out of the book and you feel sorry for him but you get frustrated with him at the same time. And then you get to know Veronica more, and that is all I will say about that. You will have to read more to know what I mean. Be careful though, once you pick it up you will not be able to put it down.

Saving the Bellydancer (Green Brotherhood: SEAL Team XII Book 3) by Debra Parmley

Saving the Bellydancer is the third book in the Green Brotherhood:Seal TeamXII and is a Military Romance that I read in o e sitting. I’ve read other books by this author and this is my favorite yet. What’s not to love about this book. Navy Seal, bellydancing and romance and so much more. This is a fast paced short story that about a Bellydancer,,her ex and a Navy Seal. There is definitely chemistry between the dancer and the Seal. Can Toni actually settle down with one woman? I highly recommend reading this book to find out what happens next. I look forward to reading many more books by this author.

Straight for the Kill (Benoit and Dayne Mystery, #3)Straight for the Kill by Winter Austin
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Elizabeth Benoit has returned back to her home town, newly divorced and elected as Sheriff she is trying to balance the roles and people in her life. There has always been a nagging memory from her past which she can not let go of, when her best friend turned up dead and the police just swiped it under the carpet since coming back, she has been destined to find out who killed her.

One Halloween night a body turns up exactly where her friend was found can she keep her emotions under wrap and help solve who is the killer. Lila has come back from her ordeal and the first case she gets is to investigate the murder of a school girl but as she works through the investigation she finds links to her boyfriend Kyle and the sheriffs best friend but what dirty will be uncovered in the small town.

I am glad to be back into Eckhart County with Elizabeth and Lila, this story can be read as a stand alone but there are some references to the previous book just as in the relationship aspects of the flow. This does not disappoint as right off in the first chapter you are drawn into the story and I enjoyed discovering the past of Elizabeth and understanding why she return to the town of her childhood. This story draws you more into the inner workings of the town and understand the relationship between all the major characters. I loved the twists and turners, trying to piece together all the elements and getting to see inside the relationship of Rafe and Elizabeth.

I can’t wait to read the next book and see what these brilliant characters get involved with going forward and how each of the lead relationships work out and progress along the way.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is book 3 of The Green Brotherhood series. They can be read as a standalone as each book focuses on a different member of the brotherhood. This is a romance story where the Seal is handsome and charming and definately a man who isn’t ready to settle down. Our leading lady in this story has just got out of an abusive relationship and her ex isn’t quite finished with her yet.

You can’t help but fall in love with Cutter and Zarifah. There has never been a woman that could hold Cutters attention for long until he met Zarifah.
Zarifah on the other hand loves how supportive he is towards her dancing and the chemistry between them grows and sizzles.
However there is one shadow lurking in the background. Zarifah’s abusive ex.
When he turns up to her dance show can Cutter be the man to protect her from the danger her ex is planning?
Will their attraction grow into something more? Will Cutter’s granny finally see him settle down with a nice girl?
These books are short reads but they are action packed and full of sizzling chemistry.

The novel begins to pull you in and explain to you the storyline and the next thing you know you are there living everything with Sam aka Samantha. Once you get into the story you wonder where it is heading and then bam you run into a wall because it wasn’t what you expected. Excellently written to keep you captive and entertained. Nadija brings up many world issues and shows us this under the bed problems.

This was a quick read but very entertaining. I enjoyed the character growth in both main characters Cutter and Zarifah. Zarifah is trying to recover from being in an abusive relationship and Cutter dates strippers and has no intention of getting into a serious relationship. As the story progresses things change about how they feel about relationships and the opposite sex. The author did a great job pulling me into the story and keeping turning pages. You must read to find out how it turns out for Cutter and Zarifah.

My rating: 3 of 5 stars

This is the third book in the Seal Team XII series. It can be read as a stand alone but you would enjoy it more if you read the earlier books. Each of the books in this series give readers a story of each Seal finding love. This story is about the Seal named Cutter. He is a man who enjoys life and women but his latest date leaves him dismayed and doing some inner perspective. A chance meeting with beautiful dancer named Zarifah changes the direction his life is going in and soon he finds himself doing what he swore he never would do again. Their story is a fast paced one that contains not only romance but action as well. The pace is quick and the plotline was interesting but I would have enjoyed more of a storyline. The characters needed a bit more depth for me to connect with them. I do like seeing the camaraderie between all the men on the seal team. It is nice to see how they all enjoy being together and work well not only as a team but as friends.

I have read a few books by Anise Storm in the past so was really looking forward to this book and wasn’t disappointed. Her collaboration with Taylor L Ray was a success! The story follows Dominic, a successful self-made man, who is living in the shadows of his past after the disappearance of his girlfriend Juliana, and Whitney who apart from having an uncanny resemblance to Juliana, also has some hidden paranormal talents that she finds impacting on her life. This book was really enjoyable, there was a good mix of tension, mystery and steamy moments. I would highly recommend to lovers of a good romance.

Saving the Bellydancer (Green Brotherhood: SEAL Team XII Book 3)Saving the Bellydancer by Debra Parmley
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Saving the Bellydancer was alright. It’s the author’s return to the Green Brotherhood. These books are typically shorter. They also work just as well as standalone novels. I’ve read the others and though this one is good, I can say it’s not my favorite one. You may feel differently so don’t let that deter you. Maybe even let it make you consider reading the two that came before it.
Cutter is a live in the moment guy when it comes to women. Quick, easy, move on type of guy. Doesn’t want to be tied down, despite his grandma’s urging. But having a conversation with Mrs. Brown at his fellow Navy Seals wedding makes him reevaluate his self and life.
Zarifah is newly single, after leaving her abusive ex-fiancé. Trying to protect herself and navigate life back to what it once was for her. When she consumed herself in dancing and gymnastics. Her ex started to pull her away from that, so now it’s time to find her center. What she didn’t expect to find was a gorgeous Navy Seal who can speak flowers. A man who could potentially protect her from her past but who also sees her as well.
Does Cutter have to protect her?
Are they free to know one another no issues?
That and many more questions come to mind while reading. Some of those went unanswered for me, but that could be from the shorter nature of the story. Plus its extras weren’t necessarily central to the main plot line. The author did what was needed to give you start to end. With a solid plot.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The Exchange is definitely what the title states: A Gripping Psychological Thriller and an Incredible Twist. Every time I thought I had it figured out, I was very wrong. Same moved to LA to become an actress, like many before her. Once she got there, she finds out that the actress life is much harder than it seems and finds it impossible to even get an audition in the big city. I did find the main character, Sam, to be very naïve and seems to constantly put herself into questionable situations. Insert Corey, a charming man who quickly wins Sam over, and then abandons her completely. There are so many questions asked throughout this book, but they do get answered. This was my first read from this author and while I did find a couple spots to be predictable, it was an easy and twisting read that I enjoyed.

The mind of a killer has always fascinated me ! Why do they kill ? What goes through their mind while they’re killing ? How do they feel when someone is begging and pleading for their ? Do they have remorse afterwards but feel justified in what they did ?

This is dark , scary but not just the events taken place but the people themselves , “ victims “ of circumstance to a degree and it’s frightening what can happen to a person when hurt , neglected avoided , abused , unheard , mistreated, misunderstood …..

Troy is very troubled and while his history is tragic I can’t help but ask the question “ why?” You still have a choice , if your parent was an alcoholic or abusive you can change the pattern and not follow suite , I know sometimes it’s just the way life unfolds but if you’re serious enough not to let someone suffer like you did find help 🤷‍♀️🙈he’s not one of my favourite characters , at all

It might feel like it’s a slow start but be patient it does change but be prepared for a twisted , tense and frightful read . A busy read , but a good read ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Course Dominic is blamed and even get charged with her disappearance. He vows as of that day, he will do everything in his power to get even with Juliana and her dad thinking they set him up.

When Whitney Greene shows up looking exactly like Jules, he hates her and tries anything he can to stay away from her but she is always there. She has some information for him but being she looks
So similar to Jules, he cannot even speak to her without getting angry. She even shows up at one of his private parties and he goes so far to embarrass her. Only she is not Jules. She is Whitney.

5 Star Review
This is the second book in the Benoit and Dayne Mystery series. This book is amazing in how it takes you through so many twists and turns as you learn more about the life of Deputy Detective Lila Dayne and why she moved from Chicago to the quiet area in Eckardt County. This tale will take you through a rollercoaster of emotions from intrigue to joy, to fear and fright as you follow all the suspenseful twists and turns of the story. This is a book that you will not want to put down the second you pick it up, it starts right off in Chapter 1 with Deputy Detective Lila Dayne reliving the trauma that drove her to run for her life, seeking safety from her past torments. This story also pieces more parts of the puzzle for you about some of the other characters including Sherriff Elizabeth Benoit, ex-sheriff Kelley Sheehan (the mysterious ex-sheriff), Deputy Kyle Lundquist, Undersheriff Raphael “Rafe” Fontaine, and whole gang protecting Eckardt County. If you are a fan of a good murder mystery that keeps you up at night you will want to check out this series!

5 Star Review

This is the third book in the Benoit and Dayne Mystery series. If you’ve read any of the books in this series you will not want to miss this third installment in this series, because it will tie together the mystery that has been haunting Sheriff Elizabeth Benoit and Deputy Kyle Lundquist since Book #1, The Killer in Me by Winter Austin. This book starts right off with a murder and an attack that resembles the exact same death of Sheriff Elizabeth Benoit’s best friend (one of whom was Kyle Lundquist’s sister). As you move through the story you will be constantly questioning who is a “good guy” and who is involved in the cover-up of the death from 25 years prior. Whom can you trust, who is covering up their part in Sheriff Elizabeth Benoit’s friend’s deaths, and is this related to the new murder case on the 25-year anniversary of the past case? Is ex-sheriff Kelley Sheehan really involved as Sheriff Elizabeth Benoit has always suspected, and why is her sister Marnie acting so strangely? Find out more when you pick up this third book in the Benoit and Dayne Mystery series! You will not want to put it down!

The Exchange
By: Nadija Mujagic

This was such an amazing suspenseful book! I was completely unable to put this book down until I finished it. I literally lost sleep over this book and I do not regret it one book. This book had such an interesting premise but it also focused on how many people make decisions they regret if they are in Los Angeles trying to find their big break. I truly don’t want to give too much information as I don’t want to risk spoiling this book for anyone. The premise is this – Sam flees to L.A. escaping her small town and her past. This is where she meets Corey, who woos her and charms her. He also offers her a big break. But it comes with the agreement to do some questionable things. Corey takes her and the reader on an absolutely insane psychological ride. I definitely recommend this book, just make sure to start it when you have time to finish it. I can guarantee you won’t put it down.

Wow this book was a great read. I loved the twists and turns in it. It is a very steamy romance with loads of danger turns along the way I was kept on the edge of my seat not knowing what was going to happen next.
I loved the characters. Dominic has had a hard life from early on and it go even worse when he was accused and put on trial for the disappearance/ murder of his then gf Juliana. He was found not guilty and has moved on with his life all the while set on getting revenge on the people that fasley accused him. Fast forward and he has made himself a success. But his need for revenge and answers about what happened to Juliana still remain. His life was going along fine until he bumps into a woman who changes his life.

Whitney has a special gift. She can communicate with spirits. So when she hears a voice inside her head as much as she doesn’t want to she needs to help this spirit. The dangerous part is she has to cross Dominic. To make matters a million times worse she is the spitting double of Juliana and because the last person Dominic ever wants to see again.

What follows is a tale which will have you on the edge of your seat and feeling like your on a rollercoaster of emotions as Juliana trys to communication via Whitney and explain what really happened to her.
The chemistry between Dominic and Whitney is very strong and sizzles off the page but what they uncover is a situation full of danger, lies, and murder.
Is Dominic just feeling things for Whitney because of her likeness to Juliana? Or will that make things even worse when she trys to convince him she’s not Juliana come back to cause him trouble. Will Dominic be able to move on and find closure once the truth is out there or will it make his need for revenge even stronger?

It is definately a book you will not be able to put down.

Tony “Cutter” Cuttino is a SEAL and has a great appreciation for strippers but for their abilities and strong athletic bodies not for the reason you think. He wants to find a stripper that he can take home to meet his Grandma but is that even possible? Will he find the one to meet his requirements and be satisfactory to meet Grandma? Poor Cutter only seems to find the slutty ones who would never meet her approval. That is until Zarifah comes along. His friend invited him to go to a Belly dance showcase and he spots the woman of his dreams: fit, athletic, and beautiful. Zarifah has just experienced a major break-up with a very abusive boyfriend and is still hurting from the abuse. Their budding relationship is in jeopardy when Zarifah’s ex shows up at a performance and causes all kinds of trouble. Can Cutter save the day and his new- found love? Great story and a quick and easy read. The characters are well-developed and very easy to empathize with. I was in an abusive relationship and I can see my thoughts and feelings in Zarifah. Spot on! I highly recommend this book to all.

Such a twisted and bizarre novel. I didn’t love it but I still couldn’t put it down either. The Exchange is definitely an experience. The author makes you feel the negative feelings projected. The author makes you root for the lead female character. Those two things are what kept me invested. Everything I was thinking was going on when I first started was definitely wrong. A fre of the minor details were right, but the rest I was far off. It’s nice when the author can artfully surprise you. Well I was definitely surprised.
Sam had big dreams. Moving to LA and becoming an actress. So much belief in herself, till she got there. She couldn’t get an audition, she couldn’t get an acting job. She had no choice but to answer a classified, little did she know that classified would change her life forever.
Corey’s a charmer. It took him very little to woo Sam. Take her on dates, convince her to move in just to make things easier for them. Once he has her in his mits he abandons her. Ceases contact and leaves her stranded with no wifi, cell, or phone service.
Was that his intention?
Did Corey really abandon Sam?
Those questions are few questions, when this book causes millions. Though it also answers every single, which is what keeps one interested and intrigued.
A psychological thriller at its best! Can be a slight trigger warning but definitely worth the read!

Absolution by Anise Storm and Taylor L. Ray is a dark romantic suspense with plenty of mystery, drama, danger, intrigue, action, agendas, angst, intensity, murder, revenge, steam, agendas, emotion, complexity, and a bit of a paranormal twist. Trigger Warning –>Be aware that there are some darker subject matters included in this story which could be triggers for some readers, so be aware ( –> abuse, graphic violence, sexual assault, sex trafficking, DubCon, murder)
Dominic thought he had found the girl of his dreams, someone who he could picture spending his life with. Then all he hoped for crumbles before him when Juliana goes missing and he is imprisoned for a crime he didn’t commit. He’s had plenty of time to think, and to plot his revenge- his plans are coming together, and he can’t wait to see the results. Until Whitney turns up with quite a tale to tell. Is this just another ploy to tie him up in knots? He won’t be fooled again…. but he can use this to his advantage. And a deadly game begins, so buckle up for quite a wild ride as things take a dark, dangerous, and intriguing turn…
As expected, these two authors have delivered a tense and climactic read. Looking forward to seeing what they do next.
Happy Reading,

Thank you, Anise Storm & Taylor L. Ray!

Another good book in the Benoit and Dayne Series. As with the other books this one will also keep you turning the pages with the twists and turns. Just when you think you’ve got it figured out you get thrown a curve ball. The Sheriff is experiencing a sort of deja vu when a young woman is discovered in the same circumstances as her best friend 25 years earlier. She has a gut feeling the ex-sheriff is involved but without hard evidence she can’t put him away for these crimes. Lila tries her hardest to pin down a suspect but even her investigative skills are getting nowhere. When her sister is taken along with several prominent community members she can’t stay away. She knows she is too close to the case but she doesn’t have a choice. Will she be able to find the culprit before anyone else loses their life to this monster?

There are things that may be a trigger to some readers.
What a Psychological Thriller it is. I love psychological thrillers but I’m not sure how I feel about this book or where to start this review. There is so much pain, and emptiness to the main character. Her naivety is overwhelming at times with the situations she finds herself in. Hoping for a life full of dreams she sets off for LA however she finds herself in situations none of us want to find ourselves in. A stranger promising her things turns out to be the devil himself.
Nadija has given us an original tale with an interesting premise. There were times when I could see things coming but there are enough twists and turns the biggest being the ending that was a surprise.
It is one of those stories that the pages keep turning because you have to know how it ends.

Saving the Bellydancer (Green Brotherhood: SEAL Team XII Book 3)Saving the Bellydancer by Debra Parmley
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is the second book in the SEAL Team 12 series, and once again Debra Parmley draws me in with her relatable characters and realistic story lines. The real-world themes and how not only the enemy of the story plays out but the way the main characters handle things are realistic. We first meet Cutter in book one, more in passing but he is mentioned, and, in his story, he goes on the unintended adventure of finding his one person.
Starting out Cutter is on the way to yet another wedding of a SEAL brother, and he finds himself wondering if there is someone out there for him. Having his grandma and cousins was all that brought him back to the states after missions he didn’t need a permanent girlfriend holding him down that didn’t understand his job. Zarifah thought she found the one, until all the red flags made her find a way out, to be herself and to be happy. She was engaged but he thought the ring on her finger gave him control over her life. Being an American belly dancer makes her happy, she enjoys her job and life but her ex-fiancé wanted her to quit, and yet only focused on her dancer persona, never getting to know the real her. Cutter and Zarifah were drawn to each other both helping the other in ways they didn’t fully understand at the time. Until her violent ex returns crashing one of her performances determined that if he can’t have her no one can. Only Zarifah has a protecter and he will do anything and everything to protect her and get her free of her ex once and for all.
Will her ex be stopped in time? Is Zarifah truly his one person? Cutter loves everything about Zarifah, but can his grandma accept her? The author once again gives you characters that you can’t stop routing for. Cutter and Zarifah have a connection that is deeper than deployments and crazy exes can destroy. I once again couldn’t put down this book until I learned all of its secrets and look forward to hopefully another book in this series. Quick reads with real world situations and happy endings.
