Review: Bayou Beloved by Lexi Blake
★★★★★#BayouBeloved #NetGalley @AuthorLexiBlake So many feelings generated in this latest book in the Bayou series. I am in love with this series. Each on of these generate feelings of hopelessness and displacement which then moves into character growth and wonderful finding one's place in the world. This can be read as a standalone. I still recommend reading all the previous books in this series. Reading the previous books helps build a better picture of this quaint smal

Review: In Isabeau's Eyes by Lora Leigh
★★★★ #Netgalley #InIsabeausEyes New spin-off series of the Nauti Boy! I am beyond thrilled to pick up this book and read it. I have been a fan of this Nauti world since the first book came out. Isabeau's Eyes continues with the next generation of the MacKays and their Nauti kids. This can be read as a standalone. Many of the characters from the previous series make cameos in this book. Reading the previous series would help make all the family and friend connections. Firs

Review: Recovery Road by Christine Feehan
★★★★ #RecoveryRoad #NetGalley @AuthorCFeehan When it comes to dark and tormented, the Torpedo Ink series is the most intense one out of all of Ms. Feehan's series. Since I relish light to dark; sweet to pain and everything in between, I'm loving this series. Ms. Feehan's writing style and material she covers appeals to my darker side that craves the sharp edge of desperation. This book is showcases depression and how close to the end a person can tolerate. Men are taught t

Review: The Wolf Is Mine by Paige Tyler
★★★★ @PaigeTyler #TheWolfIsMine #NetGalley Lately, I've been reading paranormal romances with cursed humans trans morphed into cats. I kind of like it. In this one, the situation is a perfect blend of humour and sorrow. Ms. Tyler creates the perfect mate, the ONE, for Connor. What I like about this story is how Kat knows all the insider information about the werewolves because she is the cat, the guys adore. I am not sure how I would react if my beloved cat suddenly shows

Review: A Small Affair by Flora Collins
★★★★ #netgalley #ASmallAffair @flococo16 New to me author, Ms. Collin generates many emotions in me for this wicked suspense story. Let me first state that I went into this story cold. I didn't read the blurb. This was sent to me for a review and I for some reason thought it was a romance. This is not a romance, in spite of the title. This is a deranged suspense tale where a woman's name is dragged through the mud. This story started slow for me. I didn't particularly l

Review: Sleep no More by Jayne Ann Krentz
★★★★ #SleepNoMore #NetGalley @JayneAnnKrentz New exciting series from Ms. Krentz kicks it off with one of my favourite subjects . . .sleep. As a person who loves to sleep and take naps, I have quite the active dreaming. When a book plot delves into dream state and dreaming or even discusses sleep clinics, I'm intrigued. Sleep no more involves conspiracies, paranormal exploration, and . . . kidnapping! What I like about this story is how Ms. Krentz takes current events and

Review: Into the West by Mercedes Lackey
★★★★ #IntotheWest #Netgalley I am absolutely loving this series and cannot wait to read the next book. This book should be read in the order it was written. In this second book of the latest Valdemar series, we encounter the Hawkbrothers! For those who have not read any of the related Valdemar series, this is a great intro to these amazing people. They are a wicked blend of fae in human form living in peace with the world and all its many creatures. I have always admired

Review: Leopard's Scar by Christine Feehan
★★★★ #LeopardsScar #NetGalley @AuthorCFeehan A large cat lover, if there are leopard shifters in the book, I want to read it. If Ms. Feehan writes it, then I definitely want to read it. Leopard's Scar is one of the stories I thoroughly enjoyed in this world of shifters. What I liked about it is not only second chances, but the traveling around the world. Whilst it is nice to be in just one location, sometimes I like a variety of local and when an author can transport me to

Review: Answering Atlas by Chantal Fernando
★★★★ @ChantalFernando #AnsweringAtlas #NetGalley When a romance takes an unexpected turn, it sometimes gives me the feelz. This one did it for me. I am a fan of Ms. Fernando and will read everything she writes. She is one of the few authors I enjoy reading MC books. Yes, yes, I realize this is a romanticized version of the MC life and I'm okay with it. It is what I want to read. In this latest one, Natalie finds her partner in crime in an unexpected place - with another

Review: Murder at Haven's Rock by Kelley Armstrong
★★★★★ #MurderatHavensRock #NetGalley Kicking off a new series spin-off, Casey and Eric are back. This is now maybe version 3.0 of this experiment to have a safe haven for people. They are going to be off the grid in Alaska and perhaps in a nicer facility than the previous "encampment". As the title hints at, things go awry even before they can open up and move into their new home. I LOVE IT! There are already subplots created as well as conspiracies going on that make me

Review: Embrace Me Darkly
@KiraJamesAuthor ★★★★ #EmbraceMeDarkly #NetGalley New to me author Ms. James draws me into a paranormal fantasy of intrigue, conspiracies and vengeance. I love it! My only regrets are taking too long to review the book and finding out I missed out on the opportunity to read the arcs for the following books. Never fear, they are on Amazon and I will be buying the next 3 books shortly. Sara is a prosecutor who is actively working on making sure criminals are prosecuted and p

Review: Only Changed the Way of Speaking by Suhyang Oh
★★★ #NetGalley This book piqued my interest because I have been told that the way I speak is off putting. Specifically that I am too direct and I hurt people's feelings. Whilst I understand this feedback, at times I just want to post a meme of Samuel L. Jackson in response. Or have Jack Nicholson yelling, "You Can't Handle the Truth!" All snide feelings aside, I do want to be able to communicate effectively, especially in my day job. This book is an interesting read for m

Review: Archangel's Resurrection by Nalini Singh
★★★★★ @NaliniSingh #ArchangelsResurrection #OutNow #NetGalley I cannot help but think of the song Bad Romance from Lady Gaga. This story has me torn. Ms. Singh does an amazing job of creating two admirable characters and yet their relationship brings out the absolute worst in each other. They are in a spiraling down toxic relationship that breaks them down instead of lifts them up. If Alexander and Zanaya were humans in current day and age, we would highly recommend they

Review: You Can Hide by Rebecca Zanetti
★★★★ #RebeccaZanetti #YouCanHide #NetGalley What is going on here? This series gives me the same feel as the TV Series - Hannibal. Special Agent Laurel Snow is pulled back to her hometown as another possible serial killer is on the prowl. What are the odds of a small town having more than 1 serial killer? This adrenaline pumping suspense is complex with multiple plots going on at the same time. I love it. For those who are squicked out by S.E.X and want the focus to be mo

Review: Dark Whisper by Christine Feehan
★★★ @AuthorCFeehan #DarkWhisper #NetGalley Nice addition to the latest storyarc in this series, the focus is still on the Ancients. This time around it is Afanasiv Belan who will find his mate in a woman who is not what she seems. Whilst the Carpathian males are more or less interchangeable now, the females they find as mates are a bit different. Vasilisa is a Russian spy... just kidding. She's a Royal in a country that forbids any type of royalty or they would be killed.

Review: Garrett's Destiny by Rebecca Zanetti
★★★★ #RebeccaZanetti #GarrettsDestiny #NetGalley Garrett is pulled in multiple directions as he has ties with the vampires, demons, and bear shifters. To top this off, he is also part of a secret (not so secret anymore) Seven who apparently broke the laws of physics. I have been waiting for Garrett's story ever since we saw hits of him falling for a deadly woman that would try to kill him. Even though I was prepared for this plot, I was not prepared for the plot twist! Des

Review: A Curse of Queens by Amanda Bouchet
★★★★ @AuthorABouchet #HighlyAnticipated #ACurseofQueens #NetGalley Magical with an exhilarating adventure, A Curse of Queens is everything I hoped it to be. Ms. Bouchet crafts a masterful piece filled with backstabbing gods, civil unrest, and intrigue. Lately, I have been following and reading authors who write fantasy with complex plots and highly developed world-building. I love it. Ms. Bouchet is an automatic read for me. Her stories suck me into a fantasy world rich w

Review: Dreaming of a Heart Lake Christmas by Sarah Robinson
★★★½ #DreamingofaheartlakeChristmas #Netgalley Christmas in Summer? Ready for a sweet Hallmark movie moment? Look no further than this book. New-to-me author Ms. Robinson brings forth an endearing tale of rediscovery, connecting, and growth. Nola Bennett returns to her hometown where she's felt most loved by her deceased grandmother. Whilst visiting to manage her grandmother's estate, she spends time with her besties and reconnects with her high school crush. What I like

Review: Devouring Darkness by Chloe Neill
★★★★ @chloeneill #DevouringDarkness #NetGalley Is this the end of this series? I hope not. Elisa and Connor are thrown into a situation that they must resolve by a deadline without the help or support of their parents. The series has been building up to Elisa and Connor moving up in supernatural politics and trouble management. This is the one where they show their mettle. There are also reveals that make me nervous because this is the 2nd to the last book in the series.

Review A Dragon's Desire by Shiloh Walker
★★★ ½ #ADragonsDesire #NetGalley Ready for heartbreak? This is a Shiloh Walker romance so brace yourself for angst. There are dragons, lost loves, and horrible humans. This book can be read as a standalone. Sorin is a byproduct of a dragon and human love. This book immediately starts on a sad note and pretty much continues on this melancholy note until the bitter end. It moves me and I enjoyed the tear-jerking novel. What I like about Ms. Walker's writing style is how she
