Degrees of Power (Prestian Series Book 4) by Via Mari – Review by Tracy Wilkin

Degrees of Power (Prestian Series, #4)Degrees of Power by Via Mari
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Degrees of Power is book four in the Prestian Series by Via Mari. Katarina just captivates me. As a character, she is a courageous and fearless woman, paving her path in a man’s world. Chase and Katarina must face many obstacles, be prepared to do what it takes to get the best result and reconfirm the love they have for one another. The level of affection runs so deep between them, it has its own palpable heartbeat. A profound reaction whenever they were in each others vicinity.

Everything about this story was remarkable. It was evocative, suspenseful and unique. Nothing was omitted from the Prestian Series, with a reader getting the full impact of this powerful collection. A highly energetic and dangerously addictive series. This one is a must read. 5 stars

Claiming Her Mates (A Paranormal Shifter Romance Book 1) by Dia Cole – Review by Tracy Wilkin

Claiming Her Mates (Claiming Her Mates #1)Claiming Her Mates by Dia Cole
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Claiming Her Mates is book one and is part of the Paranormal Shifter Romance by Dia Cole. Having never read this author before, I was excited to see what was being delivered. I was not disappointed. I don’t often read paranormal romances, and it is even rarer for me to pick up a shifter romance. I am glad I did.

Havana has her hands full of with not one but three men. Mason, Gabriel and Liam take caring for Havana very seriously, and will do everything in their power to keep her safe. Claiming Her Mates is a steamy romance that will heighten the senses and raise the heartbeat. The author spun the tale brilliantly and each character complimented the other, and the guts of the story was evident and entertaining. 4 stars

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Beats of the Heart is book one in the Lyrical Rock Star series by Charli B. Rose. This is my first time reading this writer’s work, and wow, it was crazy good. The story ignites slowly and deliciously, sucking a reader in until they know nothing else but the characters.

What a tale was spun. It was heated with tension and sexual desire. The physical, mental and visual attraction that sizzled between Izzy and Dawson. The ups and downs were plentiful, the attraction knew no limits, and the talent was inspiring. An epic 5 star read that will leave you gasping for the next instalment.

The Moon in Her Eyes: A Witch’s Tale is a paranormal romance, thriller, suspenseful drama by Nikki Broadwell. A fantasy brought to life, Emaline is a quirky time travelling witch who embarks on many adventures, providing endless action and intrigue.

This author keeps a reader on their toes, and I never knew what to expect next. Having read this author’s work before, it was truly eventful and eye opening. Lines are blurred. Past from reality. I was constantly surprised and brazenly glued to the pages.

I loved reading about Emaline’s adventures that never once lacked excitement and constantly gave more with each chapter. 4 stars

Guilty Pleasures Volume Two is a steamy collection of super short stories by Joyce McCarthy. The main character, Brad, is a very busy lad, amd provides short, steamy, and insanely arousing tales. This author grabs your attention from the very beginning, and will leave you gasping for more. These characters get hot and heavy at warp speed, and I cannot get enough of them.

Eastern Shore Swingers (Books 1-3) by Phoebe Alexander – Review by Tracy Wilkin

Eastern Shore Swingers Books 1-3 (Boxed Set)Eastern Shore Swingers Books 1-3 by Phoebe Alexander
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Eastern Shore Swingers Series (3 book Boxed Set) by Phoebe Alexander is an amazing trio of books that continuously and effortlessly entertained me, left me breathless and craving for more. A good author always provides you with stories that hold you frantically captivated, but an outstanding one has you anticipating the next one before you have finished the current one. Phoebe Alexander gives a reader that and more. You can always tell when an author’s heart and soul lives in each story.

Book one, Fisher of Men, is the story of Leah and Chris “Cap” Sheldon. While Leah was a pleasure to get to know, Cap was like savouring a piece of Belgian chocolate. Quality at its finest. Their story was emotional and a wonderful journey of discovery, with many bumps along the way.

Book two, The Catch, is the story of Paisley and Calvin. That was a spicy story that kept the tension at an all time high, with a reader never really knowing which way the pendulum would swing. It was riveting, edge of your seat reading, and the story was written just to keep the reader desperate for more.

Book three, Siren Call, is the story of Jessie and Sirena. I really got into this story. Having not read many female/female stories, I was not fully aware of what to expect. Jessie has a job to do, but cannot help being drawn to Sirena. Sirena was a hard character to crack. But that just made her more intriguing and delectable. There story was exciting, filled with arousing tension, and overflowing with substance and heart.

The Eastern Shore Swingers series was one I enjoyed beautifully, but too quickly. This series is a more than once read, and one to be savoured. 5 stars.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Never Let Me Fall is book 3 in the Fatal Dreams series by Abbie Roads. I love the twist she put on paranormal romantic suspense stories. These stories are powerful and leave a lasting impression.

Never Let Me Fall is Thomas and Helena’s story. I love how the author weaves each story. I love the individuality of each story, while still intertwined in the series. It was articulate and immaculate and the attention to detail was mind blowing. I was swept away by these characters and their story. The intensity and intrigue was captivating and I never wanted this story to end.

The talent exhibited on each page is limitless. The pleasure of reading was an exquisite experience. 5 stars.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Reckless – A Steamy Contemporary Romance Anthology is a collection of four books written by uber talents, Mika Jolie, Kylie Stewart, P. M. Carson and Sharla Lovelace. These stories were concise, beyond desirable, and left nothing unsaid. And although short, they were incredibly witty, charming, and made quite an impression.

Hope's Deceit (The Fated #2)Hope’s Deceit by Angela McPherson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Hope’s Deceit is book two in the Fated series by Angela McPherson. Trinity and Blain and company are back with more fighting, drama action, thrills and spills. In this ever exciting instalment, they continue to fight evil and find hope for a better, safer world.

There was a lot of back and forth, back and forth in this story. But these characters are so young, I forgot how riddled with drama young adult life really can be. It is no different for the supernatural. Young love is young love ,in any walk of life. This colourful cast was exclusively entertaining, the plot was engaging and intense, with trouble, chaos and violence never too far away. The story changed directions very quickly, which made the tale more incredibly addictive. Never knowing what to expect was both aprehensive and arousing. This incredible book is worth 5 stars.

I have not read this author’s work before, and found it a little hard to get settled into the book, as I had missed the first six books in the series. But that did not last for long. I still really enjoyed the story.

It has been so long since I have read a book of this genre, and the stype in which the story was written was well set out, well planned and immaculately executed. A storyteller of immense talent is Aubrey Wynne. The ability to engage me when I had not read this series before, amd keep me enthralled and amazed just exhibits how incredibly talented the author is.

Alisabeth, Gideon and the eccentric, eclectic and entertaining cast of Rhapsody and Rebellion were delightful and appealing. The story mesmerising and refined. A memorable must-read. 5 stars.

The Changeup is book six in the Resort Romance series by Mary Billiter. This author always goes that bit further when releasing the next story in a series. It is evident the work that goes into making the next book edgier, racier, more dramatic, more soulful, more arousing. Engaging with each character is unique with each addition.

Each story affects me differently. Each story makes me feel varied emotions. A LOT of emotion. Rebel and Ryan provided entertainment, love, humour, intrigue and never ending theatrics. All these characters take a little piece of my heart when the final word is read, and these stories are ones I cherish. 5 stars.

Truly Unfortunate is book one in the Welcome to Knollville series by C.A. King. I have not read a story by this author, and it took me by surprise. I did not anticipate the high quality of the story, the depth to each character, the complex and intriguing way the characters joined

Truly was a character I instantly felt bonded with. There was no getting to know you stage, I instantly felt attuned to her. She enthralled me. I just had to know her story. The author has this maddeningly clever way of giving a clue of what may happen next, without really telling you anything. It was genius. Truly Unforgettable was a one sitting read and one I truly will not forget. 5 stars.

Felicity Found (Rogue Series Book 6)Felicity Found by Lara Ward Cosio
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Felicity Found is book six in the Rogue series by Lara Ward Cosio. It is a deeply emotional read for me as I relate to a lot of issues in this story. This author has touched on something that is still hidden and many sufferers continue to struggle alone, day after day. It impacted me greatly, especially due to the gentle, respectful way the story was written.

Felicity has a beautiful life and wants to do it all. Certain events in her life makes her want to conquer the world, but in reality, getting to do her hair is just too draining, both physically and emotionally. Conor tries to help but has his own worries and his idea of helping is the opposite of what they all need. It was a painfully touching story that deals with many modern life struggles. The execution of the story was seamless, real and truly beautiful.

Lara Ward Cosio is a talented author that is on another level. A writing style so very original and rare, in a way that it left me breathless and moved beyond measure. I could not near to put this story down and found the end too soon. I will never forget Felicity Found or the way it made me feel. Unforgettable. 5 stars.

Climbing The Walls (Hart & Cole Book 1)Climbing The Walls by Sacha T. Y. Fortuné
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Climbing the Walls is book one in the Hart and Cole series by Sacha T. Y. Fortuné. New author for me, so I was instantly intrigued. First impression of Nicole is that she is a master manipulator, and will go to great lengths to get her way. She wants her way and she wants it’s now!! She is a passive aggressive character, one who maneuvers Kris to do her bidding and uses any means necessary. I grew to adore her and wanting to be her. Despite feeling frustrated at times, this story is incredibly well written. It is blatantly evident in the artestry with words, the effort, the emotion and soul that went into each character, building the foundations for a mindblowing series.

Kris and Nicole struggled with the trials of marriage, family and careers. Things were said in the heat of the moment, things were left unsaid. I was an honest and insightful look into a modern marriage, where they try to have it all and the battle to maintain the normal. The author masterfully and tastefully painted a picture of reality, intensity, attraction, and so much more. Many elements made up this tale, coming together maybe not perfectly, but beautifully. Kris was endearing and made my heart sing. Every time I thought of him my heart would race, as he was charisma personified. He just appealed to me on a superior level. Climbing the Walls was brilliant and a book that leaves a memorable impression. 5 stars.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Burning Night: where the ashes of the past awaken the future by Nikki Broadwell is a story of a woman’s journey after fleeing a toxic relationship, with everything thrown into the mix. High emotion, struggle, uncertainty, chaos, anxiety, torment. But there was also so many wonderful feelings that Collie discovered. She was ready to quit but dragged herself up every day to face the unknown, the scary and mysterious.

Burning Night: where the ashes of the past awaken the future was my first story by Nikki Broadwell. It was an emotional challenge, as it made me think and ponder and just try to imagine how she got through it all. She had an inner strength that was unveiled once she gpt to spread her wings, and was free from everything that was bad for her. Life is always ready to shake our very foundation with the unexpected, but it is how we rise after being kicked down that is the most incredible story to read. Collie rose above all that tried to drag her down and her resilience and tenacity was admired and applauded. 4 stars.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Must Be Crazy is book three in the Darling Cove series by Deborah Garland. I have lived, laughed and loved with the eccentric, eclectic and electric characters I have got to know. This author tastefully masters a slightly suspenseful romance and gives a new clarity to the genre.

Skye was the most complex character to get to know. It wasn’t as easy as the others were, which made her story hard fought and my favourite. Edward had a lot going on and with a huge amount of responsibility, he never forgot what was important and went out of his way to ensure everyone he held dear to him knew about it. And often. gentleness is portrayed in Deborah Garlands writing, but also the passionate, loving and honourable personalities are obvious. While what you read is what you get, if you take your time, there is a lot more hidden in the very depth of each story, just bursting to be revealed. You really do get more that you could have wished for. 5 stars.

My Free Life: Prequel to the Brothers of Camelot is book 3 in My Life series by Necie Navone. In each thought provoking part to this series, the suspense becomes more palpable. Will our leading lady get what she most desires? It truly is riveting reading.

The danger and adventurous actions of these extremely lethal characters is skillfully addictive. This series, once you start reading, is impossible to put down. Every book I have read in one sitting. The content is powerful, stimulating and energetic. There is also mischievous engagement, trickery, violence and passion. A thirst for all romantic activities, this story offers something different. The Life series is a tale of triumph over chauvinism, arrogance and shallowness. A tale of self worth and fighting for your dreams.

My Free Life was a compelling conclusion to this amazing series. I am sad it is the end of the journey, but excited to discover more. 5 stars.

The timing that allowed me to read Hope’s Decree could not have been more perfect. I was ready for a story with a difference, and I can say it was a whole lot of different wrapped in excitement and wonder.

I was borderline needing therapy after this, as I laughed like I was crazy and loved like I never would again. It was so entertaining that I cannot get into another book right now.

Degrees of Control is book three in the Prestian series by Via Mari. This series is high energy drama and suspense and often left me on the edge of my seat, anticipating the next move. It is such an interactive series for me, and one that just keeps getting more thrilling, more passionate, more suspenseful.

Katarina wants it all but has trust issues. Frustration was what I felt when she became difficult. Chase is the alpha who is used to getting what he wants, when he wants it, so he has to make adjustments and seems to handle it a little better than Kate. Their lives are certainly not dull, which makes for action aplenty, and many nail biting, hair raising moments. Just what I crave in a romance.

Via Mari has excelled again. This author drags out so many feels, readers may need a little rest to reflect after each story. 5 stars.

It kept me riveted for hours and totally enthralled. Getting to know the way this author writes and the colourfully wacky characters was truly enchanting

Lexi is a workaholic mess of a woman who had me in stitches. She was so quirky and hilarious, I instantly bonded with her. She was a breath of fresh and unique air. She was one of a kind and a privilege to learn about. Jack was a little more reserved and less laid back, but still a pleasure to know. He and Lexi fell slowly and sweetly, and life as they knew it became a memory, and in its place was excitement, mystery and discovering common desires and dreams.

Across From You was an extremely masterful tale that was filled with emotional thrills and adventure. 5 stars.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Sailors Knot is book four in the Eastern Shore series by Phoebe Alexander. This beauty is my favourite by a mile. I connected with Casey, Joshua and Gabriel instantly. Fell for them instantly. Became one with their story instantly. I try to be objective when I write a review, but my romantic heart just overtales and it always ends up being emotionally driven. I cannot help it. These stories always bring out mixed and endless emotions, and I crave them more with each new release.

Casey had a life and death fight on her hands while battling cancer. Her life had been colourful, eventful and frenzied. She is a part owner of a swingers club!! I mean, how much more adventurous can you get. She was one of the most exciting characters I have ever had the privilege of getting to know. I admired her and hoped that she got everything she deserved. Joshua was a sweetheart and my favourite. Gabriel was always holding something back, I felt, and was more reserved and difficult to get a read on. Together they were an electric trio. Highly sexual beings coming together to create a firestorm of passion and mutual desire. The affection they felt was deep and there was a constant air of quiet desperation between them. Totally addictive.

Sailors Knot was the ultimate in raunchy entertainment. Phoebe Alexander wowed me with this instalment. I cannot wait for more. 5 stars.

Degrees of Acceptance is book two in the Prestian series by Via Mari. It is memorable continuation of a story that wins more of my heart, at each word written. The words dance intricately together to weave a masterful and slightly suspenseful tale that is both addictive and sensual. Katarina is more sure of herself and her feelings for Chase, but I cannot help but feel that she is waiting for the other shoe to drop, therefore keeping a little of herself in reserve. Chase is a little obsessed with her and her safety, and unusually it is a quality that I find endearing.

Via Mari is an author I have thoroughly enjoyed and am excited to read more of this series. The characters and storyline are quite attractive and prove to be sinfully entertaining. 5 stars.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Jesse is book three in the Glass City Hearts series by Desiree Lafawn. It is a mixture of suspense, determination, strength, courage, tension, passion, love, triumph. It has loads of everything. Everything that makes you think hard, breathe hard, cringe hard, laugh hard, cry hard, pray hard, rejoice hard. A romance with it all.

Jesse melted my heart as well as raised my blood pressure. He sounded all sorts of hot. Pleasure getting to know him. Harlow displays a strength that is admirable. She does what she has to do. She is great at what she does. She is tough femininity personified. Add in the characters from earlier in the series, and you have one story you just cannot put down. They are colourful, cantankerous, courageous, and day they make no apologies for that.

Jesse was an unforgettably decadent read. 5 stars.
