★★★ #DarkTarot #NetGalley One by one, the Ancients are finding their soul mate after waiting for centuries. Up to bat is Sandu. He's been close to the edge several times and wants to do the honourable thing... walk into the sun. In his latest bid for release, a voice shows up in his head. His mate finally shows up. Adalaisa comes from a long line of female psychics who have a duty to protect a special place. This duty is passed down mother to daughter with their menfolk

★★★★ @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

★★★★ @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

★★★★★ @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

★★★★ #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-

★★★★ @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

★★★ 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

★★★★ @KierstenFay #StealingtheDragonsHeart #NetGalley Dragon shifters are a weakness of mine. I don't care about the story blurb, give me the book if there is a dragon shifter. I didn't read this blurb either, not only because it has dragons in it, but because it is from Ms. Fay who is an auto read for me. I really enjoyed this book. This Dragon Lords series is captivating and I can't wait to see what will happen next. When a book starts out with action and conflict, I'm

★★★ ½ @katmartinauthor #TheLastGoodnight #NetGalley Kicking off a new series, this is for suspense readers who also love cowboys. I am one of the very few romance readers who seem to be completely indifferent to cowboys. They don't do anything for me. I'm not interested nor aroused by them. Nothing about them appeals to me. I generally tend to avoid cowboy themes because they bore me. Why did I pick up this book? Because I saw the author name and ignored the blurb. Thi

★★★ ½ @katmartinauthor @OneLastKiss #NetGalley Heartwarming and sweet, this contemporary romance with a city girl returning back to her roots is a delight. One Last Kiss kicks off a new series by talented author, Ms. Martin. This short prequel sets the tone to this series so far. The setting harkens back to a time where the noise of social media and electronics is shut off. I like it. Sam Bridger performs one last favour for a dear friend of his. Last favour because it wa

★★★ @Iris_Johansen #HighStakes #NetGalley Loosely tied to the Eve Duncan series, this book seemingly comes out of no where. I scratched my head several times as I tried to place where I have seen Logan Tanner's character. I want to say that he was someone that Eve made use of in one of her escapades. I'm not 100% certain. I was able to figure out why Kaskov seemed so familiar. He is Cara's grandfather who was an aspiring musician until his possible career was brutally en

★★★ @mattdunnwrites #PugActually #NetGalley Ridiculously adorable, Doug is a rescue dog who has taken it upon himself to help his hooman. His hooman needs a lot of help. Julie is the quintessential female who exemplifies "nice girls finish last". Quite honestly, I wanted to slap Julie upside the head so many times throughout this book that she would have had brain damage. The sad part? There are people like this in the real world and Julie is one of those who is basicall

★★★★★ @michellediener #NetGalley #WaveRider #MustRead When it comes to Ms. Diener, I am always enthralled with the worlds she creates. This is book 5 in the series and can be read as a standalone. Warning, if this is your first book in the series, you might end up picking up all the previous books in this series. I did and went on a weekend binge reading of her Verdant String series. I picked up this book specifically because it implied that it is water themed. I am happy

★★★ ½ @ladrianaherrera @TRRtweet #NetGalley #OneWeektoClaimItAll When it comes to showcasing other cultures in America, Ms. Herrera is one of the best. Whenever I see her name come across for a new book, my eyes light up because I know I am going to learn a little be more about the Latino culture. In this latest contemporary romance, two ex-lovers bid for their dream job. In one corner, we have Esmeralda, the bastard child of the deceased Sambrano patriarch. In the other co

★★★ #Heartless #NetGalley #TheRomanceReviews There is a reason why Kaysar is called the "Unhinged One". He truly is unhinged. There is a growing popularity of creating anti-heroes as the main love interest. I like this because I am get older and more jaded, I tend to like the more complex male who isn't all good or all bad. I am a bit hesitant to label Kaysar as anti-hero. He is more like a trauma patient that is heavily experiencing PTSD and hasn't recovered in thousands

★★★★ @HunterFaith #TrueDead #NetGalley This is the book I have been waiting for a long while. In this series, we have seen Jane grow from a lone ranger to a person responsible for a small company. At one point she becomes the de facto person in charge of all the security for the Master of the City, Leo. The last couple of books have languished a bit for me because, well, *spoiler alert*, Leo DIED! I keeled over and cried in shock with Leo passed away. How could this be?

★★★★ @ChantalFernando #NetGalley #CustomLove Caught between two different familial relationship, Nadia is balancing on a very thin line. A childhood friend, Damon, is jailed for killing a friend from her new set of friends. When said Damon's mother comes begging for Nadia to help look for answers, Nadia is torn. Damon's mother was her mother figure for years. Her new friends have been supporting her through the more current adult years. What does one do? This is the third

★★★★ @LKHamilton #NetGalley #ATerribleFallofAngels #Bookreview Brand new series from LKH takes us into the world of Angels, Demons and everything in between. This new series pulls me in from the very first few pages. We quickly learn that Zaniel aka Havoc is a very unique cop. Specifically his previous training and upbringing makes him a perfect person to work on the paranormal investigative team because no one of his ilk has left the "fold" willingly. I am intrigued with

★★★★ @catherincoulter @WmMorrowBooks #Vortex #Netgalley In this political climate of exclusionary tribes, Ms. Coulter dives into the center of all of this with a report character I can support and get behind. Mia Briscoe is a reporter who covers the political science through investigative pieces as well as creates a blog space where it can be an open space to discuss different view points with an open mind. Whilst this story is a murder mystery, I find the entwining of poli

★★★★★ @NaliniSingh #LastGuard #NetGalley #MustRead #BuyItNow The mysterious Mercant family is featured in this latest installment of the fabulous Psy-Changeling Trinity series. This time, Canto, one of Silver's family members is up front and center. Canto is a bit different than almost all Psy. He is physically not perfect. In fact, he is in a wheelchair. This is unusual but what is even more unusual is his specific psychic power. I read this book in one sitting. Then
