Review: Turbulent Waves by Ali Vali
★★★ ½ @NetGalley @boldstrokebooks #TurbulentWaves Between the mermaid on the cover and the blurb with an ff romance, I immediately wanted to read this book. New to me author Ali Vali takes me on a voyage thousands of miles under the sea. I am intrigued. This is book two and can be read as a standalone. There are enough references from to fill in the blanks of what happened in the first book. Kai Merlin is the heir apparent to the throne of Atlantis. Yes, that Atlantis.

Review: Sky Raiders Box Set by Michelle Diener
★★★★★ @michellediener @NetGalley #SkyRaiderBoxSet Transported to a technology free world of feudal lords, I did not expect to have magic or possibly werewolf like aliens showing up. This is a completed trilogy and I am so glad to devour the books one right after another. This boxset kicks off with Sky Raiders. Sky Raiders is setting up this world where people who have paranormal powers are tapped to help defend their world against these monster sky raiders stealing people,

Book Review: Legacy by Nora Roberts
★★★ ½ #Legacy Contemporary romance with a suspenseful twist, Ms. Roberts pens a story of empowerment and controlling one's destiny. Adrian is an unexpected child for a serial cheater who took advantage of a young college student, Adrian's mother - Lina. Lina made the decision to keep her pregnancy and she kept it quiet. Because as far as she is concerned, Adrian is HER daughter and the rat bastard father is merely a sperm donor. What I liked about this story is how Adrian

Review: Beyond by Mercedes Lackey
★★★★ @MercedesLackey #Beyond This is where it all began. Returning to the world of Valdemar, readers learn how Valdemar was founded and more specifically why. When I saw this book I was a bit skeptical if I wanted to read it because it feels like this series has lost some of its intensity. In addition, I felt as though it was recycling old themes with different character names. With a bit of trepidation, I picked up this book and I LOVED IT. Ms. Lackey pulls me back to t

Review: Archangel's Light by Nalini Singh
★★★★ @NaliniSingh @TRRtweet @BerkleyRomance #ArchangelsLight #NetGalley When it comes to loving from a far and deep yearning, Ms. Singh is one of my favourite romance writers. In this newest addition to the Guild Hunter series, it feels like we are taking a little breather from the horrors of war and devastation. This is not to say that there isn't an insidious evil secret that hammers down on an already downtrodden people. It means that there is less of the aftermath of w

The Dragoria are a proud and powerful ancient people who have been hunted to almost extinction by terrible humans. Humans who continue to war against each other and create misery for a

Review: Sailor Proof by Annabeth Albert
★★★★ @AnnabethAlbert @CarinaPress #SailorProof #NetGalley Incredibly sweet, my first introduction to Ms. Albert is fantastic. I adore this military romance. The premise of this story seems a bit hokey with using a fake boyfriend to make a horrid ex-boyfriend jealous. The way Ms. Albert creates her characters and plot, it is smooth, sexy and delicious. Derrick Fox is a man built for the navy. With his only remaining relative deceased, his focus is on his career. He is a car

Review: A Prime's Passion by Shiloh Walker
★★★★★ @shilohwalker #APrimesPassion #NetGalley Stunning new series by Ms. Shiloh takes me on an emotional rollercoaster ride. This first book of the Pretern Wars starts out with angst, heartbreak, betrayal, dark secret reveals and vengeance. I absolutely love it. There are some authors I automatically read without reading the blurb. Ms. Shiloh is one of the few that I will auto read but I must read the blurb to prepare myself. I need to brace myself for the inevitable tea

Review: Dreams of Distant Shores by Patricia A. McKillip
★★★★ #DreamsofDistantShores #NetGalley Five years later I finally forced myself to finish this book. I started it when I first received it. The first story did nothing for me. The second one is barely memorable. The last one is the one I really enjoyed and my rating is based on this one. Let me first say that when it comes to Ms. McKillip, I expect high fantasy which causes disorientation and sometimes mass confusing. When it comes to authors, specifically Fantasy and Sci-

Review: Her Wolf in the Wild by Rien Gray
★★★★ @RienGray @carinapress @TRRtweet #HerWolfintheWild #NetGalley Motorcycle club populated with shifters is normal now. What is different is the alpha of this pack is a female. Micah is interesting because she comes from a line of alpha werewolves. The world building in this story is intriguing and I hope this means that this will become a series. Because there are subplots going on that I want to see come to fruition. This story kicks off with tense action as Christiana

Review: Awaken by Lauren Dane
★★★ ½ @laurendane @TRRtweet @CarinaPress #DiabloLakeAwakened #NetGalley Returning back to Diablo Lake is so good to see the positive changes. There is still some ways to go as there is a deep secret that has been buried too long. For the most part, this is a romance with two delightful characters. It isn't till near the end of the book that this foreboding skeleton in the closet finally comes out into the open. For those who like second-chance romances, Damon and Ruby's s

Review: The Ghosts of Wrath by Demitria Lunetta
★★★ @booksirens #TheGhostsofWrath This series comes to a satisfying conclusion in book 7. I picked up this book because it hints that Paige will finally find out what happened to her parents in the great "ghosting". At the beginning of this book, I'm thinking there is a bait and switch. This is going to be yet another ludicrous situation Paige finds herself in. Honestly, she believes she can be a private investigator? She can go undercover? This is a total fantasy and it
