Review: The Rebel Guardian by Lexi Blake
★★★★★ @authorlexiblake #TheRebelGuardian #MustRead Same time period as the first book in the Outlaw series, this is all about Kelsey and how she adjusts to losing 12 years with her son. I love Kelsey. She may have been a bit hard on Trent when she came home but he was also sensitive to her unintentional criticism. I enjoyed how well these two communicated which was a breath of fresh air. Add in Gray who is now owning his Dark Prophet title, and this triad is a force to be

Review: Last Liar Standing by Danielle M. Wong
★★★★★ @daniellemwong @RAPublishing #LastLiarStanding #MustRead Thirteen secrets seem to be a lot of secrets to remember. Is it a large number or a small one? I never thought about it until reading this book. Last Liar Standing came into my purview via Red Adept Publishing's email. I generally do not read pure mystery/suspense/thriller, but this cover caught my attention. Then I actually read the blurb which intrigued me. For long-time followers, you know my MO is to go

Review: Bayou Sweetheart by Lexi Blake
★★★★ @authorlexiblake #BayouSweetheart #NetGalley #MustRead Once again, I am won over by this charismatic small town named after a butterfly. When it comes to sweet romances, Ms. Blake consistently delivers high quality over and over again. This feel-good story is about self-discovery. The journey for Actress Brynn Pearson is stressful as she is being pulled in multiple directions by well-intentioned people. This is a must-read and can be read as a standalone. Brynn Pears

Review: Sweetwater and the Witch by Jayne Castle
★★★★★ @JayneAnnKrentz #NetGalley #SweetwaterandtheWitch #mustread #mustbuy A delightful tale with suspense, danger, romance, and a sidekick Dust Bunny, Ms. Castle pens another winner. The Ghost Hunter series is one I have followed since the very first book. I loved all of them and this newest one goes into my re-read collection. This story contains adventure, a mystery, and new findings left by aliens. Most importantly, we meet a new Dust Bunny, Harriet who is too adorable

Review: Resist Me by Lauren Connolly
@laurenaliciaCon ★★★★ ½ #ResistMe #MustRead Moving and unexpectedly poignant, Resist me is an irresistible tale of a broken family coming to terms with their dysfunction. To see it also incorporate romance and the ability to be vulnerable is an added bonus. Ms. Connolly is an auto-read author for me. Her stories are touching and I love her character development. She surprises me each time. Full disclosure, I didn't read the blurb and I didn't look at the cover of the boo

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: 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: Midnight Soul by Kristen Ashley
★★★★★ @KristenAshley68 #MidnightSoul #mustread I read this entire series in the course of two and a half days. I am so glad this 5 book series is completed. I could read one book right after the other. For those who liked Lexi Blake's A Faery Series, this may remind you a bit of it. I highly recommend this fantasy series because it hits all the emotions and makes a reader feel. The first 4 books in the series, it is all about being transported to an alternate world than

Review: Dark Class by Michelle Diener
★★★★★ @michellediener #DarkClass #MustRead #MustBuy A masterpiece. Dark Class includes everything I love about Ms. Diener's writing. A page turner, this book is a must read. This can be read as a standalone. This entire series is fantastic and worth reading. In this latest addition and maybe last book, the last earthling abducted receives her story. Ellie Masters' experience to date at the hands of her alien abductors is terrible. It is questionable if she will survive it

Review: Godslayer by Jacqueline Carey
★★★★★ @JCareyAuthor #Godslayer #ThrowbackReview #Mustread Once upon a time, when Borders still existed there were these awesome author book signings. When I found out the talented Ms. Carey would be making an appearance, I promptly called my favourite Borders bookstore manager and reserved a spot high up in the signing. I actually liked this author's innovating writing so much that I followed her second book signing that week to Home | Nicola's Books (nicolasbooks.com). P

Review: Ransom by Julie Garwood
★★★★★ @JulieGarwood #Favouritebook #MustRead #Ransom #ThrowbackReview One of my all time favourite books, I have read this book at least 50 times or more. I am not quite sure why I didn't have a review written. I love the main female character in this book, Gillian. I love her so much and how she treats children that when I read this book and thought one day I would have at least one child, I wanted to use the same endearment Gillian uses. Alas, whilst I was unable to have

Review: Sword and Shadow by Michelle Sagara
★★★★★ @msagara @edelweiss_squad #SwordandShadow #Mustread #MustBuy Severn is a mystery that I want to unravel so badly. Reading this book, I am both elated and devastated. He is a boy who grew up without a past into a young man with deep regrets. He regrets how his actions have impacted someone he loves so deeply. I like how he still believes he did the right thing. I can't argue that point because I am on his side. There are some people who have to make tough choices and

Review: Cursed Luck by Kelley Armstrong
★★★★★ @KelleyArmstrong #CursedLuck #MustRead Not sure why I didn't read this earlier. I saw the second book in this series come out so I needed to read the first one. The book pulled me in immediately and I read through this in 1 sitting. Once again, I didn't read the blurb, I only know I like Ms. Armstrong books. There were several things that happened in this book that I didn't expect and I loved it. For those who don't know, I love Greek Mythology. I also enjoy Greek T

Review: The Threadbare Queen by Michelle Diener
★★★★ @michellediener #TheThreadbareQueen #MustRead Follow-up to The Turncoat King, The Threadbare Queen, is just as gritty and spellbinding. This book should be read right after reading the first book. It is not recommended to read this as a standalone. Book 2 in The Rising Wave series picks up right after the events completed in Book 1. This book's focal point is still Ava. Ava is now a queen of a kingdom she does not want. The responsibilities and duties are not what s

Review: A Sense of Danger by Jennifer Estep
@Jennifer_Estep #ASenseofDanger #MustRead The quiet ones always get you. This new series by Ms. Estep pulls me into a Jason Bourne world filled with paranormals. Or is it a James Bond world filled with paranormals? Either way, prepare yourself for intrigue, snarky comments, angry analysts, and betrayal. A huge fan of Ms. Estep, I eagerly picked up this book and made the mistake of starting it a little too late at night. Book hangover it is! I really enjoyed the pace of the

Review: Fated Blades by Ilona Andrews
★★★★★ @ilona_andrews #FatedBlades #MustBuy #MustRead Around 2:30 AM this morning, Amazon notified me that this book is ready for me to read. What did I do? Download this puppy right onto my kindle and start reading. A couple of hours later or less, I'm thoroughly entertained and want to read it again. For those who have never read the Kinsmen series, this can be read as a standalone. It is absolutely fabulous and I loved every word of it. This Montague and Capulet theme is

The Night Mark by Tiffany Reisz
★★★★★ #TiffanyReisz @littleredridingcrop #TheNightMark @NetGalley #Mustbuy #MustRead Why do I do this to myself? I keep looking for a Ms. Reisz book and when I find it, I greedily request it. Then I don't read it. Why? I don't know. Read this book. I loved it. I read it all in one sitting through the wee hours of the night. This is a page-turner and unexpected. Specifically, I didn't expect a supernatural element to it. I believe there is a little nod to The Bourbon T
