Audiobook Review ~ The Royal by Susan Stoker

The Royal by Susan Stoker My rating: 4 of 5 stars I read the first book in this series some time ago and was interested to get back into the world to see who would capture Cal’s heart. He was quite tough on himself due to what he had been through and his status as a royal. It was interesting seeing him go to DC to investigate an issue and to find June....

Review ~ Parallel Series by Elle O'Roark

Parallel by Elizabeth O'Roark My rating: 5 of 5 stars This was a great start to the Parallel duo! Quinn was such an incredible character, and it was interesting getting her perspective, her dreams and feelings. I could see there was a bigger picture going on and as the story unfolded it became more apparent, and I was hooked.Nick’s perspective was...

Review ~ God of Pain by Rina Kent

God of Pain by Rina Kent My rating: 4 of 5 stars It’s been a while since I read the first book in this series – God of Malice – but it was easy to jump back into this world once more. Annika and Creighton are total opposites, but together they were great. Creighton struggled with the demons from his childhood, and despite having great parents, he still...

Review ~ Twisted Love by Ana Huang

Twisted Love by Ana Huang My rating: 2 of 5 stars I was hoping to love this one, as I like the darker reads, however this one was a bit too twisted and I didn’t enjoy it like I hoped. Ava’s suppressed memories slowly came back, and she remembered things from her past. Alex had spent a lot of time around Ava and her family and had a connection with...

Audiobook Review ~ Conspiracy of Magic series by Luanne G. Smith

The Raven Spell by Luanne G. Smith My rating: 4 of 5 stars I picked up The Raven Spell after reading the blurb and seeing that it had free audible, I was excited to listen to it. It didn’t take long to be immersed into the world building and the characters that Luanne G. Smith created. It was interesting getting to know Edwina and her sister Mary....

Review ~ Bombshell by Abbi Glines

Bombshell by Abbi Glines My rating: 4 of 5 stars Bombshell was quite enjoyable, being a spin off from the original Smoke series. I really enjoyed getting to know both Micah and Dolly. Micah is definitely the alpha male type and was quite surprised when he came across Dolly - his sisters best friend. She unsettled him and he found it hard to put her...

Review ~ Pretty Little Mistake by Micalea Smeltzer

Pretty Little Mistake by Micalea Smeltzer My rating: 3 of 5 stars It was interesting to know these two were not only from the same town, but had also crossed lines when Lennon was younger and before Beck went to college. They certainly had chemistry, but Beck definitely made it hard for Lennon. Working together was good for them as Beck not only lowered...

Review ~ The Rules of Dating a Younger Man by Vi Keeland & Penelope Ward

The Rules of Dating a Younger Man by Vi Keeland My rating: 3.5 of 5 stars I have enjoyed all the books in this series, so it was no surprise that I would pick up Brayden and Alex’s book. Brayden was the type of character I love! He is kind and thoughtful and was doing something that was close to his heart. Alex was older than the women that he usually...

Review ~ Not Made to Last by Jay McLean

Not Made to Last by Jay McLean My rating: 3 of 5 stars 3.5 StarsI liked getting to know both Olivia and Rhys. How they met was quite amusing, but I soon got to see that Olivia had secrets that she was hiding from everyone. I liked how close she was to her brothers and would do anything to protect them. Having Rhys in her life threatened everything...
