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: 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: Red on the River by Christine Feehan
★★★★ @AuthorCFeehan #RedontheRiver #NetGalley This second book in a new suspense series from Ms. Feenhan is a solid must-read for me. Whilst it isn't labeled as a series, this book contains friends from the Murder at Sunrise Lake. In this one, the majority of the book takes place in Vegas. Vienna is our main character who is awesome at winning poker games. Oddly, I just read about a real-life woman who switched over to poker games to make a living and makes a killing at

Review: Storm Echo by Nalini Singh
★★★★★ @NaliniSingh #NetGalley #StormEcho Finally, the story arc I've been waiting to see progress takes a leap forward. I devoured this story and read it into the wee hours of the night. This story starts out fun with Ivan Mercant going through a crazy Navy SEAL type survivor course put on by shifters. Ivan is a Psy, not a shifter so this is going to be interesting. In one of his "quests" or "test" or whatever it is called that he has to survive, he injures himself and is

Review: Point Last Seen by Christina Dodd
★★★★ @ChristinaDodd #PointLastSeen #NetGalley This new series from Ms. Dodd grabs my attention and keeps me turning page after page. The character development as well as the small-town antics keeps me amused. Adam is a man who wants to be left alone to lick his wounds. He seems to be the standard stoic introvert. This is until we learn about his childhood. I am stricken with sorrow and a feeling of helplessness. I want to go back in time to wrap this tough boy in warm pr

Review: Rules of Arrangement by Maren MacKenzie
★★★★ @marenmackwrites #RulesofArrangement #NetGalley Blackmail can be ugly and this story shows how terrible it can get. Adelaide Wright is estranged from her older sister and brother. More her sister due to a tiff regarding financial matters. The premise of this story sounded interesting and perhaps quite erotic. I found this less erotic and more heartbreaking. I am moved to tears by what Adelaide suffers through. New-to-me author Ms. MacKenzie pulls me into the dirty

Review: A Rip Through Time by Kelley Armstrong
★★★★ @KelleyArmstrong #ARiptThroughTime #NetGalley Slow to start, this new series is the culmination of Ms. Armstrong's time travel stories. I have read A Stitch in Time series and that one is more "gothic" romance with a twist. This series is more on mystery rather than romance which I greatly appreciate. In a bizarre incident, detective Mallory is sent back into time. Unlike the other series, Mallory also switches into someone else's body! The horrors of going back in

Review: Kiss Hard by Nalini Singh
★★★★ @NaliniSingh #KissHard #NetGalley Sweet romance from talented author Ms. Singh sweeps me off my feet. I devoured this book in one night. This can be read as a standalone. Reading book 1 - Cherish Hard may enhance the reading experience as the female protagonist in this book is Catie River, book 1's little sister to Isa. I loved the first book so much that seeing Catie receive a book of her own brings joy in my life that I didn't know I wanted. Catie is born to be a ru

Review: Of Claws and Fangs by Faith Hunger
★★★★ @HunterFaith #NetGalley #OfClawsandFangs Desperately looking for some of the short stories Ms. Hunter wrote in the Jane Yellowrock series but cannot find them? Well, look no more! This collection features a consolidation of stories posted and published in all different places. There are a few stories that cross over into the Soulwood series too. I believe there is only 1 story in here that was never published and written for just 1 fan as a prize. For me, I learned th

Review: Unstable by Alexandra Ivy
★★★★ @AlexandraIvy #Unstable #NetGalley This series is connected through a small rural area, Pike. It can be read as a standalone. For those who enjoy suspense, pick up unstable. I thoroughly enjoyed this second chance romance with an emphasis on the suspense/mystery plot. Zac is now the interim sheriff. In this sleepy town, they have already been rocked by murder. For another one to show up is not what he expected. Even more surprising, his ex-wife Rachel shows up. F

Review: Mad for a Mate by MaryJanice Davidson
★★★ #MadforaMate #NetGalley When it comes to whacky female leads who are flawed in adorable ways, Ms. Davidson hands down creates the best ones. I picked this one up because it's been a while since I've read a paranormal from Ms. Davidson. This book defies categorization. Warning, I felt as if this book may be a book from a series that I haven't read. There were references to characters and previous events that felt like I should know about already. I made a cursory sear

Review: Heroic Hearts by Jim Butcher
★★★★★ #HeroicHearts #NetGalley @KelleyArmstrong @Mercys_Garage @chloeneill @longshotauthor Reading the foreword is moving and sets the tone for this entire book. I picked this book up mostly because I saw Asil's next date story by Ms. Briggs and that Anne Bishop plus Chloe Neill have stories in this book. How could I pass this up? I dived into the first story ... and fell completely flat on my face and didn't like the book. Devasted, I decided to go straight to the author

Review: Other Half of the Grave by Jeaniene Frost
★★★ ½ @Jeaniene_Frost #OtherHalfoftheGrave #NetGalley Every story has two sides with there are two people involved. Full disclosure, I didn't read the blurb. I saw Ms. Frost publishing a new book and I wanted to read it. She is an auto-buy and auto-read author. After reading the book, I went back and read the blurb. The blurb is spot on. If you have never read a book in the Night Huntress series, this book can be read as a standalone. For those who have read the series, t

Review: When a Princess Proposes
★★★★ @KerrelynSparks #WhenaPrincessProposes #NetGalley Book three in this Embraced by Magic spin-off series captures my attention and draws me back into this world of people with power and those without. In two decades, as much as things have changed, they are still the same. There are those who are jealous of the embrace's power and those who fear it. I am not sure which is worse. Or perhaps it is those who both fear and covet the power that are the truly dangerous. This

Review: Shadow Fallen by Sherrilyn Kenyon
★★★ @mysherrilyn #ShadowFallen #NetGalley Looking for angsty? Looking for traumatic childhoods? Mix that in with medieval times and this basically describes the story. If you liked Ms. Kenyon (McQueen) and her Kinley MacGregor stories, this is the one for you. As a side note, it is sad that the author cannot change her surname to one that she wants. This book can be read as a standalone. I thought it was going to be more with the dream hunters but this goes a completely d

Review: Unforgiven by Rebecca Zanetti
★★★★ #RebeccaZanetti #Unforgiven #NetGalley I love this romantic suspense series from Ms. Zanettit. It is always a fun read and I cannot put it down. As soon as I have a copy of the book, I must read it. I thought this series would be over. To my delight, this book is about Jethro. Yes, the sexy Brit living in the States, teaching as a professor of philosophy. Anyone else kind of imagining Giles mixed with James Bond? I am! What I liked about this book is that there are

I am pleased to say, this newest addition flat out did it for me. I enjoyed it and read it right through the night. In this book, we learn ab

Review: When She Dreams by Amanda Quick
★★★★ @JayneAnnKrentz #WhenSheDreams #NetGalley Returning back to Burning Cove, this latest book is totally relatable for me. Maggie Lodge is a lucid dreamer. I understand her plight as I too lucid dream. This story does take a few odd turns with dreaming that I don't personally have issues with, but it is interesting to see. I keep forgetting that this is set in the 1930s. Every so often, a scene reminds me of the era in full HD colour. Ms. Quick does an amazing job of b

Review: Mall out of Luck by Sarah Robinson
★★★ #NetGalley #MalloutofLuck Always on the lookout for F/f books, this new-to-me author, Ms. Robinson looks promising. It helps that she places her characters in Michigan where I live and gives a nod to my alma mater - Go Blue! This is a sweet romance that moved rapidly. This story is part of a collection where love is in the air around a Mall. Business owners find their match I guess through customers coming through the doors. For Saoirse, she moves to Michigan to revamp

Review: Sound of Darkness by Heather Graham
★★★ ½ @heathergraham #SoundofDarkness #NetGalley Suspense and psychics go hand in hand for the Krewe team. This 3.5 star book takes us into a serial killer who tortures women and then buries them alive. How many people are in this special FBI task force? It seems like there are more and more added to this team. I like it and I like how the different agents find their way into this special place that allows them to use all their skills. An experienced agent, Mark is paired
