Review: Ruby Fever by Ilona Andrews
★★★★★ @ilona_andrews #NetGalley #RubyFever #MustRead #MustBuy Swoonworthy ending to an amazing trilogy, House Andrews for the win! I loved this book from beginning to end and have read it at least a dozen times since I received it. This is a wild ride from beginning to end. The pace of this story is fantastic and keeps my heart pumping. Warning, this book should not be read as a standalone. Second Warning, do not start reading this right before bedtime. Chances are, you

Review: Harmony of Fire by Brian Feehan
★★★ #NetGalley #HarmonyofFire The first in a series of good versus evil, it is clear to see the influences in author Brian Feehan's writing. I picked up this book partially because of the new author's name and partially because it is about angels. Or a version of angels... This concept is intriguing and I want to see where this series goes. As a first book by Mr. Feehan, it contains the kind of worldbuilding that interests me. What I like about this series is that it isn't

Review: Aura of Night by Heather Graham
★★★★ #HeatherGraham #Edelweiss Will this be a three-book story arc in the Krewe Hunters? This book picks up from the previous book with Colleen's sister, Megan. Megan is not in law enforcement like her triplets sister and brother. She is an editor for heaven's sake. She does share a common trait with her siblings. Her psychic abilities to see ghosts are expanded in this story. Pairing up with here is Ragnar, an actual law enforcement agent. The suspense in this story is

Review: Possession by Andrea Hagan
★★★ ½ #Possession #AndreaHagan @booksirens New to me author Andrea Hagan pulls me in with a funny book blurb and a pretty cover. As I start reading this book, all I keep thinking of is the following meme. Aubry, the witch in question is a tarot card reader and a magic shop owner. To help out her aunt, she performs a little seance whilst her aunt is out of town. Somehow, she ends up summoning a demon. On top of this, she ends up getting possessed by a demon that usually c

Review: Fortune's Fool by Mercedes Lackey
★★★ #ThrowbackReview #FortunesFool @mercedeslackey This series is innovative and fun. Ms. Lackey turns the fairytale world upside down with her tongue in check poking fun at the stereotypical tropes. How do characters in this book avoid being typecasted and forced into doing something they don't want to do? This series is definitely different and a charming experience. This book can be read as a standalone. In this lighthearted at times story, Ekaterina is a seventh daught

Review: Born in Fire by Nora Roberts
★★★★ #NoraRobers #BorninFire #ThrowbackReview I loved this trilogy of three Irish sisters. I must have read this book many times over the years. Maggie is the oldest and a favourite of her father's. She is a glassmaker and at odds with her mother all the time. This story is so easy to remember for me because it made such an impression with the backstory. Specifically, there are multiple sides to every story. When I first read this book years ago, I had serious hate on fo

Review: The Girl Who Knew Too Much by Amanda Quick
★★★ ½ #TheGirlWhoKnewTooMuch #TBRPile This is where it all started - Burning Cove and the 1920/30s romantic suspense from Ms. Quick. Not sure how I missed this first book in the series. Anna Harris aka Irene Glasson tries to reinvent herself on the opposite coast from where she witnessed the aftermath of a brutal murder. Reading about life in the early 1900s makes me appreciate my life as a woman. I have so many more choices than women had a hundred years ago. Although

Review: A Face to Die For by Iris Johansen
★★★½ #AFacetoDieFor Mixing another treasure hunting into the Eve Duncan series, this one is a surprising one. I haven't been that enamoured with the Helen of Troy story because I didn't really buy into the "face that launched a thousand ships". Ms. Johansen's interpretation is mind-bending and I like it. I don't know how much of this is researched but it makes for a wonderful tale. Riley is an enigmatic jack of all trades archeologist with a Lara Croft flair. Her need for Ev

Review: Dark Matters by Michelle Diener
★★★★ @michellediener #DarkMatters Finally, all caught up with this series. Not sure if this is a completed series but it feels like it. I read this book out of order and it can be. Whilst technically possible to read this as a standalone, it is better to read the entire series, in the order written. This is one all about Lucy Harris. One of the "lucky" ladies abducted by aliens and never to return home to earth. Running for her life and not sure who to trust, this is a

Review: Covert Game by Christine Feehan
★★★★ @AuthorCFeehan #CovertGame Somehow this book slipped through and I never read it. I had to go back and read it because this series is one I love to read. This can be read as a standalone. I recommend reading the books in order more or less because it gives better insight into the secondary characters mentioned throughout the book. This one is action-packed and Mission Impossible style. I liked it. Zara is one of the special orphans Dr. Whitney experimented on. Unlik

Review: Black Rose by Nora Roberts
★★★ #NoraRoberts #ThrowbackReview #BlackRose Book two in this trilogy is a good continuation of book one. This can be read as a standalone, but better experienced when reading in order. I love Ms. Roberts trilogies where she has friends or family members find their mates. In this one, we focus on the "lady of the house", Ros Harper. Ros is a strong woman who is also single mother. As a lover of flowers, this trilogy with its flower themes appeals to me. Why does it seem

Review: The Wild Baron by Catherine Coulter
★★★ #CatherineCoulter #TheWildBaron #ThrowbackReview The start of the Baron series, this book takes me back to when Ms. Coulter was mostly a historical romance writer. This one is a bit of misdirection between Rohan Carrington and Susannah. Susannah's claim of ruin is not all that it seems. When these two team up, they are able to uncover a mystery. I found this new series to be in line with her other historical romances and enjoyed it. What I enjoy about Ms. Coulter's his

Review: Arcane Chaos by Joey W. Hill
★★★★ @JoeyWHill #ArcaneChaos #OutNow The backstory of Ramona is what really makes this story good for me. Book three in the rebranded Arcane Trilogy starts out as a slow burn for me and then heats up with the action scenes. This book may be read as a standalone. Recommended to read the first two books to get a better sense of the world building as well as the how the characters relate to each other. I did expect kinkier BDSM in this story. Surprisingly, it is a minor elem

Review: Grace Under Fire by Julie Garwood
★★★★★ @JulieGarwood #GraceUnderFire #NetGalley #MustRead I adored this book. I am loving this series as it is hitting all the points I love about romantic suspense with a touch of law enforcement men. I have already read this book several times since I first received it. Grace Isabel MacKenna is truly a woman who is Grace under Fire. This story is ridiculously good with characters I fell in love with. Let's start with Grace who goes by Isabel. She reminds me of a friend wh

Review: Free my Dragon by Joely Sue Burkhart
★★★ ½ @joelysue #FreeMyDragon A haunting fantasy of unrequited love gone wrong, Free my Dragon brings redemption to a cursed woman after centuries of rage. This novella comes as a duet. This first book is all about a selfish woman who lets her inner beast take over. Chanda is the last of the white dragons. In a fit of rage, she petulantly cursed the gods and her people. Gotta say, not feeling any empathy for Chanda. She wanted a guy, but he rejected her, so she burns dow

Review: Alpha's Rescue by Renee Rose
★★★★ @ReneeRoseAuthor @Jennw23 #AlphasRescue Possessive surly male and an optimistic forgiving female come together and it is explosive - literally. Lana is a curveous business savvy woman who fulfills her parents' last wish. Unfortunately for her, her stepbrother is a jerk and leaves Lana in a dire situation. Coming to Lana's rescue is Teddy. Teddy is a bear shifter... get it? *snicker* The premise of this story sounded a bit hokey. The first few chapters were a bit sap
