Love Bites MoreLove Bites More by T.L. Clark
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Pryderi, Elan and Arwyn have known each other their whole lives, they have grown up together and become Watchers together and keep their clan safe together, they also made an oath in their youth which at the time seemed the right thing to do, but as they have grown up, their feelings towards each other are no longer the same. Pryderi has found his soul mate and after coming back from his honeymoon, the three find that things aren’t the same between them, but they try and put that right by having a guys night in, complete with the illicit food, drink and music they have to keep hidden away, thanks to the clan not appreciating it.

Although they are both happy for Pryderi, Elan and Arwyn are struggling with their feelings for each other, they feel things which they shouldn’t and know it, but still they can’t bring themselves to do anything about it and risk hurting the other or their friendship, it is what they value above all else, but that is becoming harder to maintain and it is causing both of them to become antsy and withdrawn, this leads their friends to worry about them.

Meanwhile, Pryderi’s mate has travelled to another clan and has brought someone back with her, a new male from a widely different life and when he is introduced to theirs, it is a bit of a culture shock to say the least, not to mention that he has been used to hiding himself away in more ways than one. Elan is chosen to show him the ropes and slowly help him integrate into clan life, but neither can deny that they are attracted to the other and Arwyn is feeling a little left out, so he decides to spend some time with the exotic new male and again, the two cannot deny their attraction to each other and this complicates things.

Will Elan, Arwyn and this new spicy male finally bring down the barriers and allow them to experience the things they long for the most, or will those barriers break down and destroy the lives they have built for themselves forever? This is a fantasy romance with foul language and spicy content throughout which will leave you breathless as the thoughts and feelings whirling around these Elinefae and their way of life and leave you wanting to find out what happens next.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I am just in seventh heaven as this is one of my most favorite authors. I love paranormal romances and this did not disappoint. I really like the way the author is able to build a world and bring the characters to life. I really felt as though I was right in the middle of the action. There was also a great balance of drama and adventure mixed in with the romance. As I have said before this is one of my most favorite genres. I really like how there was a sort of forbidden love with a wonderous outcome. I like how everything just really fell into place and the chemistry between the characters really just added to the story. I look forward to reading much more from this author in the future.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I was very intrigued when I saw this book. I always wondered if I could actually write a book myself and this book gave me the motivation to do it. I sat down and read this book all the way through. This author knows her stuff really well. She gives you examples and also provides you with some useful knowledge about writing historical fiction. I was shocked at how much research you have to put into a historical novel to make it believable to your audience. She listed how she finds the research for the books she has done. She even gives a timeline into a different setting that your book could be about. This author made me feel like she was there actually talking to me and that is what made this book so enjoyable. If you are ever wanting to write a book you need to read this first.

Love in the Roses: A Historical Medieval Romance (Love Through The Ages) by T.L. Clark

This is the first book I’ve read by the author. Love in the Roses is a good book. It’s the first book in the Love Through The Ages Series. The author captured my attention from the beginning to the end.

Isabel is at the age where she can be married off. Her father is looking for a good suitor. Her father is a Knight so hopefully he won’t choose a bad guy. Will Isabel be able to do this? The quote I chose for Isabel is: “Oh, Mother, how shall I ever part from one such as you? If I have been the best of daughters it is only because you are the best of mothers.”

Highly recommended for Historical Romance lovers.

Regency Love: Reflections of a Young LadyRegency Love: Reflections of a Young Lady by T.L. Clark
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Regency Love: Reflections of a Young Lady by T.L. Clark is a period romance story set in an era where young women come out to the Ton of England and are paraded around to find the best husband that is deemed worthy by their fathers. Where reputations and gossip are rife and women have no say. It is a story where you hope like hope you don’t get a husband who is too old, or to violent towards you. It is a tale of those who can only hope to be fortunate enough to actually find love and be treated like a lady. I am not a lover of period pieces, as I get to caught up in the ways women are treated but T.L did a good job and I found myself drawn to the story and the main character and how her life became. We take a journey back in time where vulnerability is not to be discussed and snobbery and licentious behavior are a given.

Lady Anne is of age to come out to society and find a suitable husband. She is young, naive and beautiful and finds the road to finding the one is filled with troubles, lies and deceit and heartache. Will she be made to marry someone who cares not for her well being and only in duty or will she indeed be lucky enough to find true love?

If you like period pieces then Regency Love is certainly one to grab.

Self LoveSelf Love by T.L. Clark
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Self Love by TL Clark is the first book I’ve read by this author. This book is a standalone and is recommended for readers 18+ due to some of the content.

Molly is stubborn and independent. She’s also generous and caring. There’s a lot of facets to Molly but she’s pretty self- deprecating as well. She really focuses on her faults and the negatives rather than any real positive where she is concerned. Molly deals with a lot throughout this book. As the book went on, I was definitely rooting for her. I pretty easily connected with Molly as I’ve faced similar issues. That connection made her real and really pulled me into the book more than I originally thought I would be pulled in. I was hesitant when I started this book but I’m glad I took a chance anyways because I would have missed out on a good book otherwise!

Self Love: A British Tale of Woe and Wit by TL Clark. While I did feel this story had a bit of a slow beginning and didn’t immediately draw me in, once it picked up a bit I found myself lost in it’s pages. Molly is trying to figure out who she is in this crazy big world. She’s a bit on the downer side when it comes to her view of herself but I can honestly say I connected with her on many levels even though I hate to think that at times. You truly get to see inside the head space of Molly and it’s quite the ride. This story took me on a bit of an emotional journey right along with Molly. It’s a bit different from this authors other books and for that alone I was excited because I love the others and it’s nice to see an author right in more genres. The storyline is well written and easy to follow and I really did love the characters. I’m giving this book a four star review and recommend it to everyone.

Self Love: A British Tale of Woe and Wit by TL Clark was not what I was expecting if you know what I mean and I’m actually glad it wasn’t.

Molly was a funny and wonderful woman who needed to learn her self worth. I could so relate to her and her issues with body image and not feeling like she was enough. Her experiences were interesting and some were amusing while there were a few that broke my heart.

Though I like the way it ended I could have seen this going in a much different direction for Molly.

I have not had the pleasure of reading anything by Ms. Clark before but this was a great introduction.

Self Love: A British Tale of Woe and Wit by TL Clark is an easy read an a great way to pass a few hours.
The book is about Molly, a florist who is hoping to be able to change her ways in order to find happiness. It is a story that most will be able to relate to in one way or another as there isn’t ever a person that hasn’t questioned things at one time or another.
The story to the story is a bit awkward I found. It felt a little difficult to get through and to engage with. However I am pleased I stuck with it as for the most part the story was enjoyable and it even had me laughing at times. I especially liked that the humour was very British. Being British myself I find it appealing when I come across a book that has this type of humour to it. All in all a good book.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

“Self Love” by TL Clark is a lovely story about an overweight, unhappy woman named Molly and her challenges in life. Molly owns her own floral business and is always around very happy brides to be which tends to bring her down as she can’t find love herself. Add in an overbearing mother who can’t say anything nice and general low self-esteem and Molly is a bit of a wreck. Molly is a very relatable character who says so many things I’ve heard many woman, including myself, say before. Her struggles are very real and honest and that makes her quite lovable to me. I found the story to be a less raunchy “Bridget Jones” type story filled with fun British terms and written almost as a diary. TL Clark’s story is one I believe many women could benefit from reading as the moral is the title and that self love is necessary and important to us all. If you like a sweet romance, or if you struggle at all with loving yourself then please read this book! I give “Self Love” by TL Clark four stars!

Self Love : A British Tale of Woe and Wit By TL Clark is book that pulled at my strings because I can totally relate to Molly and her self doubts.So get ready to be taken on a journey of growth and I think determination. There is some drama and some parts for me were emotional. This isn’t my first read by this author but my first non-paranormal book from her. I was hooked from the beginning and had a hard time putting it down, I had to know how things turned out. Molly is a woman who is opening her own florist business. She is a stubborn woman but is also very caring, compassionate and giving.Molly doesn’t give her self much credit, she doesn’t see what others may see.she seems to look at her faults instead of focusing on the good. She can get sad,feel lonely and depressed. Can Molly find her true happiness?Will she find Love? Can she find Self-Love? Find out the answers to these questions and many more you will have by reading this book.i cant wait to read more from this author.

4 out 5 Stars

Honestly, I had a hard time with this book. I love this author. I love her detail to her characters. The plots she develops are both complex and simple at the same time. And this book is no different. The story development was exactly the right pace for Molly and Nick, the two main characters. Molly has some major body issues. She spends most of the book in one form of self deprecation mode or another. My heart was breaking for her each time I read a statement where she dragged herself through the mud again. Nick, for all that he is, is getting her to see herself for what she is worth, not what she has fabricated insider her head. Molly and Nick’s relationship was hard won, and if it was not for some EXTREME patience on Nick’s side and some serious come to Jesus understanding on Molly’s, I am not sure these two would have panned out.

I struggled rating this book because reading a character over and over again who was constantly berating herself was getting tiresome, but Nick was a solid character and I grew to love the two of them together. The technical structure of the book was near flawless. The paragraphs were full, The plot easily flowed and I kept up with the storyline easily enough. For those alone, I had to give a full star because writing a book on its own is hard work and the rest was just my personal opinion. I recommend this book for book clubs.

Self Love: A British Tale of Woe and Wit by TL Clark is rather a sad tale of one woman who has been beaten down all her life by most everyone she meets who have exacting ideas on what a woman should look like. It is a journey of self discovery and becoming comfortable to be who you are and hopefully finding the one who could be your forever love. A story of finding what makes you happy and deciding to make that happen. A story of finally being honest with yourself and those around you even if it means tough love and finally speaking out for yourself.

I really enjoyed this story, it made me laugh and the way in which the author wrote the story made me feel really engaged with the main character. It was almost like I was reading her diary and living her life with her. The pace of the story was quite slow and the author did go into detail which in some parts was maybe a little too much but I still thought that it was a really good read. I really appreciated the British humour in the story too. I thought that the flow of the story was good and the writing really smooth – I found it really easy to read. I really felt a connection with Molly, the main character, I thought that she was really relatable and I did like her, although she did tend to apologise a lot!!
Overall I thought that this was a really enjoyable read and I would definitely recommend it to other readers!

This was my first read by this author and I truly enjoyed it although a lot of parts were hard to read, and this is simply because so many thoughts Molly had were thoughts I’ve had through the years before I made some changes and went on my own type of journey. Remembering a lot of those feelings was fun while I was reading along but I sure could relate to almost everything in this story.

It took me a bit to actually fall in love with Molly, there were just a few too many SMH moments but that changed as it all got going and then i was hooked. I loved her best friend Wendy, she was simply awesome and always there for her.

I’m definitely going to be checking out more by this author..I did really love the writing style and how smoothly it was written and it was very easy to read and get lost in.

I highly recommend this story and this author.

This is my favorite book by this author yet. It is an emotional story about a woman, Molly, who doesn’t feel very good about herself and learns to make changes with her life. She takes us on an emotional roller coaster ride that at times made me laugh to a few tears. Molly is a strong character with some insecurities. I enjoyed watching her grow throughout the story. I read this book in one sitting as it kept me engaged until the last word. I highly recommend this book.

Love Bites Harder (Darkness & Light Duology #2)Love Bites Harder by T.L. Clark
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

 

Love Bites Harder is the second and final book in the Darkness & Light Duology by T.L Clark. WOW! What a spellbinding instalment to this wonderful Duet/series. As I discovered in the first book, the author weaves a superb tale that bursts to life under her magical touch. I got to discover witches, faeries, sorcerers, Elinefae, magic, mystery, suspense, and so much more between these covers that enthralled and enchanted me . This story is an original, quite unique from anything that I had read in this genre before. I can tell that the author has put a lot of thought, imagination, heart and soul into this story. After reading the first book and loving it as much as I did, I must admit that I had some high expectations for this book- and I am sooo happy to say that Ms. Clark didn’t disappoint, she delivered everything that I was hoping for, and then some.
This story picks up right where the first book ended. Shakira and Pryderi thought they had finally got the chance to make a life together after the events in the last book. But, Pryderi decision leaves Keira devastated and reeling from the hurt. Pryderi is torn in two, put in a no-win situation that shreds him to the core. Can these two find a way to be together and live the life they both dream of? Will Kiera finally find the home she longs for and a place where she truly belongs? But with dark force lurking in the shadows, danger seems to follow her. With her safety on the line, she must decide who she can and can’t trust. This story sees her making wondrous new discoveries, as well as experiencing some soaring highs and heart aching lows. Things aren’t all as it appears and she will need to navigate through it, all the while learning about her newfound powers. What unfolds will keep you captivated the whole way through.
The characters are wonderfully developed individuals with their own personalities, quirks and flaws. Kiera and Pryderi are fantastic, as are all the secondary characters. I loved Shui and Tarrah, they added a little extra magic to the story. As with the first book I have to say again that I am blown away by all the unique touches that Ms. Clark has given her story and the characters- and there is such a vast array of magical creatures who inhabited these books- they really made the story/series such an exciting and memorable experience. And then, there is the matter of the incredible world building skills that Ms. Clark demonstrates throughout this story. She really brought the whole thing to life using her wonderful imagination, and flare with words.
I really can’t wait to read whatever Ms. Clark writes next!

Thank you, Ms. Clark!

Love Bites is the first book in the Darkness & Light Duology by T.L Clark. This is such a gem of a find! A wonderful Fantasy/paranormal romance with so much going on in it- I couldn’t have read it any quicker, demolishing it all in a few hours because I HAD to find out all the spellbinding details. The author wove a superb tale that came to life under her creative touch. There are witches, faeries, sorcerers, Elinefae, magic, mystery, suspense, and so many more fascinating additions and details. This story is completely original from anything that I have read in this genre before. It has its own unique identity, which the author has lovingly crafted. I wasn’t sure of what to expect going in but I loved the cover and was intrigued by the blurb, so I took the plunge…. And I am SO happy that I did! This may be my first read from Ms. Clark- but it definitely won’t be the last. She has confirmed her place on my must-read authors list and I can’t wait to devour everything she will write/or has written. How excited was I to discover that she has also got quite a few other books to her name- which I will definitely be one-clicking, and devouring ASAP.
Shakira, Pryderi, Cerys, Lily and all the other wonderful characters really brought this story to life. They are wonderfully developed individuals with their own personalities, quirks and flaws. They led me on an incredible journey that I won’t soon forget. I love Kiera and Pryderi so much! I am blown away by all the unique touches that Ms. Clark gave her characters- it really made the story quite an exciting ride. Then, there is the matter of the exceptional world building skills that Ms. Clark demonstrates throughout this story. She brought everything to life, with fantastic descriptions and attention to details. Right down to having a world history, backstory, languages… and so many more unique features.
I have already jumped into the second book as I couldn’t wait to find out what would happen! I can’t recommend this book/duet highly enough, especially if you love fantasy/paranormal stories that are unique, enchanting and well written.
Brilliant!

Thank you, Ms. Clark!
