Kay Hunter is finally back at work after her injuries from her last case. After finding out Williamson is corrupt, and was responsible for her injuries. While in prison the allegations he has made against DI Devon Sharp. Her direct boss is on forced leave until Kay can clear him of the allegations .
So we start with Kay working on a 10 year old cold case. The case is of a soldier who is killed in a motorcycle accident. Doubts were raised, but never investigated properly.
This is a case of what appears to be a simple case. The investigation uncovers much more than anyone is expecting. I love a good detective series, and this is a good series. It makes you feel like you are there discovering the clues with them. I really enjoyed this for many reasons. I felt I was in the middle of the story with a huge cast of characters, what always surprises me when I get to the end and there is only one narrator. The other is it finishes to quickly, so I now am waiting for book six

The heroine of our story is a teenage girl called Nara, and she lives in a backwater and poor village called Dimmitt. Nara and her friend Mykel are awaiting the announcement ceremony where hopefully someone in their village would be gifted and bring hope to the village.
This is start of an adventure which takes them from one end of the land the other. Until Nara is captured for her gifts to be used by an evil and ambitious man.

Review: Lost Time

Lost Time by D.L. Orton
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Reviewed on behalf of http://bookaddict.live,
This is book two in the series and follows Diego’s journey into the future, but in a different timeline. When he opens his eyes and finds himself up the top of tree. In a snow-covered habitat, that’s all he sees before he falls and breaks multiple bones.
Luckily he is rescued, and wakes up in a Bio dome being looked after by a doctor called Lani. It was then when he realised he is twenty years in the future.
This is a shorter book than the first, but no less interesting. We are twenty years after D day and the human plague that has driven everyone that survived in to domes, and humans can’t be outside without bio suits. In the Dome Diego is taken to, everyone is friendly and the children are so innocent.
Diego takes nearly a year to recover from is injuries, and still can’t stop his love for Isabel which controls his actions.
Diego soon finds out not everyone in this world is warm and friendly. This a shorter listen, but no less enthralling as we learn more about this world.
I can’t praise the narrators enough, it like listening to a large cast of characters, and that is amazing when you realise there is only two.

Another visit to Blyth Lake to visit with Kendall family, and this time we meet Jace the next sibling home, who is overwhelmed with the key from his father.
On his first day in town, when he realises that Shea Erwin has arrived in town. Shea has lived with guilt every day since her little sister disappeared.

You must read the first two books in the series, otherwise you will be lost. Things are in Blyth Lake are getting exciting, but now I have wait read the next book. I want to know who the serial killer is. I have a clue, but I’m not telling.

THE SINISTER SILHOUETTE,
Wow I don’t know what to say Alex Grayson has done it again, blown me away. I was riveted to this book and I read it in one go and couldn’t put it down.
Luca having those dreams was something that was described so brilliantly, you were there with him.
Jules waking up after being in a coma for 7 years and not remembering your husband or how you got there is so frightening, and portrayed so well.
This is a must read, and I’m not giving anything away. Only to say Luca was hot, I think my imagination conjured a vision was so hot hot. Muscles, piercings in different places.
No I am not putting this enthralling tale down by just talking about muscles. If you like this is a psychological thriller, and you like something different then this a must buy. This is not for the fainthearted even though we have a HEA.

Review: Dirty Rich Cinderella Story

Dirty Rich Cinderella Story by Lisa Renee Jones
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Reviewed for my pleasure http://bookaddict.live,
It is always a pleasure to read one of Lisa’s romances, as we always have a strong women with integrity and who like to kick ass when warranted.
This one has Lori, just nine months before finishing her law degree, her father died leaving her mother with his gambling debts. Then her mother has a stroke with the stress. So Lori finds herself responsible for everything. The only thing she can do is leave college and work three jobs.
So while this has happened her mother’s out of hospital and things start to look up. When she meets Cat (Dirty Rich one night Stand) in a bar to catch up, as she helps Cat as her assistant . They have become good friends, but on this occasion Cat receives a call and has to leave.
Suddenly the hot man she had bumped into earlier sees her, and for one night she wants forget everything and escape. Cole can’t believe his luck. Let just say they go to his hotel, under the conditions Lori sets no last names and just for tonight.
Well we all knows what happens, and it was HOT, in the morning Lori runs. Cole and Lori can’t stop thinking about each other. Both not realising they had mutual friends (Reese and Cat)
That’s it I hope I’ve wetted your appetite for more, this is completely standalone and a full length story. As always a really perfect story, and I  was  totally enthralled.  By the way Cole is really delicious and I want him.

ANOTHER WINNER from Meghan Quinn, 4.5 stars
I was halfway in love with Haydon  when was in Back in Game as Calder’s friend, and off course the first dating by numbers.
A nice touch to have his home town in Binghamton, so two series meet in the middle. Adalyn was a feisty nurse who we have met before, and who is good friends with Racer and Emma.
They were perfect for each other, but neither had been in love before so mistakes are made. A Glorious Romance with plenty of heart with a side dose of humour on the side. No spoilers, just a really good romance with Hayden being such a heartfelt sweetie that I want to take him to home to keep.

Review: Bound

Bound by Alexandrea Weis
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Reviewed on behalf of http://bookaddict.live,
Bound is the second book in the Magnus Blackwell Series, but there is a prequel Novella called Blackwell and Damned is book one.  I have been riveted by this exceptional series, and have loved every single moment engrossed in each page. After the previous brilliant book, I couldn’t wait to continue the story, and had so much expectation and anticipation for this book. After devouring this book in an evening, I am excited to say that the authors didn’t let me down and met all my expectations, and then some! I really couldn’t have loved this book more. It is full of thrilling mystery, suspense, drama, the supernatural, intensity, good vs evil, light vs dark- voodoo, ghosts, and magic right up my street.
This book jumps right into the story. A lot has happened since Lexie discovered the dragon cane. She is still coming to terms with the events of the last book as well as her new position of Mambo and the doubts and responsibilities that come with that, her marriage to Will, her business, and trying to bring some balance into her life. Magnus and Lexi have come to terms with their situation, their connection is strong and they have an appreciation for one another.
Strange things begin to happen and there seems to be a shift in the universal energy bringing a sense of foreboding of events are about to happen that threaten to disrupt all of life in New Orleans and the spiritual universe. There is a sinister force with an evil agenda that will test Lexie and Magnus like nothing they could ever imagine. The city, the people, her friends and family, and even the dead won’t be safe from this threat and Lexie will need to figure it all out before it’s too late. But with her powers vanishing she will need to explore every possibility in order to defeat the darkness. Lexie takes her job as Mambo very seriously, and there is nothing she wouldn’t do to protect the people, city and the ‘family’ that she loves so much. Will she find a way to restore the balance of the universe. And if she does, at what cost? Her relationship with Magnus will be tested too, as he deals with his past Lexie knows he isn’t telling her everything and wonders if she can trust and rely on him still. Will their bond survive, or will the darkness destroy it too.
I cannot recommend this book, series and authors enough! If you like paranormal elements in a riveting read, then this is definitely the book for you!
This is such an exceptional tale, incredibly well written the product of very talented storytellers. The writing is compelling, polished, descriptive and exquisitely detailed.
I loved everything about this book, but you really should read it for yourself, as you are sure to love it just as much as I did. But, if you haven’t read the other two books yet, I recommend that you do, to get all the brilliant backstory, details, and character information that they contain, will really add your reading experience of this book. If I could I would give this book 6 stars, I will stop raving now.

Review: A Witch's Journey

A Witch's Journey by Tena Stetler
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Reviewed on behalf of http://bookaddictive,
This was a really enjoyable listen, Pepper a marine biologist works at a wildlife rescue sanctuary in Salem. Unfortunately after using magic to avert a catastrophe Pepper has to leave town. I like the twist where witch has to leave Salem. At the same time her dead aunt’s cabin becomes hers with a large financial legacy. When Pepper arrives in Lobster Cove she meets the builder/handyman who has been tasked with building an Avery to house her bird.
Lathen and Pepper get closer, and she finds out he still suffering from his time in the service, where a few of his colleagues were killed.
I hope this is the first in a series, it was a complete story, and quite complex meeting lots of characters and members of family and the town’s people who mostly welcome Pepper and her Wildlife Marine rescue
This book is told in the third person multiple style which for this tale works really well. If you are looking for a sweet, easy enjoyable story with some fabulous characters, a supernatural suspense running quietly throughout the story, a few smoldering sex scenes, and then this is the book for you. An enjoyable listen, I loved it.

This book is right up my street, time travel, and love across dimensions. A love story is at the center of the story. When something is threatening the end of the world as we know it. This has it all, and you really feel for Isobel and this only book one.
As the center of the story we have Diego and Isobel and their love story which drive the story. This is how good sci-fi and fantasy mesh together so well. This is an addictive adventure, that just would not leave my mind. I was mesmerised and I definitely can’t wait to listen to book two.
The narration is superb, taking me into another world for 11 hours, and only being upset when it finished too quickly for me.

This is a YA Post-Apocalyptic novel that follows a young girl called Wisp, who is kept hidden away from the outside world other than the surrounding lands nearest her Haven which are known as the Endless Forest. Now that Wisp is twelve, she can have some extra freedom. But when that does happen, and a scary monster follows them both back to the Haven. When the sun rises, Wisp discovers that her Dad hasn’t returned. The only way to find him, is to break all of the rules and forget being safe. She has to venture out, and use her Dad’s rifle to defend herself against the so-called Tree Walkers, enemies that could kill her.
This was an adventurous story as Wisp has to survive on her own, luckily the lessons her Dad taught her how to make some difficult decisions throughout the novel, as she tries desperately to find her Dad. The ending of the novel was what shocked me the most as a reader, a plot twist that I didn’t see coming at all. It was a visual journey, with the visual settings my favourite part of the experience. I loved the pictures at the top of the page lent themselves to the charm of the story. This is a written very well as the story unfolds from Wisp's understanding on what goes on around her. This is very easy to read as it is aimed at YA market, sometime the imagination is so interesting that even adults enjoy it.

Review: Another One

Another One by Aleatha Romig
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Aleatha Romig does it again, I really enjoyed this story. This can be read as a standalone, but there is a free prequel called The Secret One which is Trevor and Shana’s meeting at Trevor’s brother Duncan’s wedding to Kimbra Shana’s best friend. It’s a good addition to the story, but events in this book take place over a year later and can be picked up easily.
Shana works for Saks, but is based in London. The chance to run the Lingerie Show for buyers in New York comes up for Shana and her assistant Stephen.
Trevor is now living in New York, and is bowled over when he sees Shana, and all their feelings for each other come back full force, and they spent all their free time together. This is hot and sexy, and they are great together. This is an entertaining love affair between two people, Shana and Trevor. This is another winner for me, as I loved both characters from the start, so it was entertaining to enjoy their journey to their happily ever after.

When Joellen meet the wild half-dressed Scotsman in the apartment across the hall. I couldn’t stop laughing, the banter between them was priceless. Prancer and Mrs Snufflebottom were hilarious together.
Joellen has always believed she was fat and unattractive. So for ten years she has been in love with her boss CEO who is married and totally safe. When he tells her his getting a divorce from his wife. Joellen suddenly decides she needs to lose weight and make herself more attractive so she has a chance.
So Cameron agrees to help her get into shape by training Joellen himself including helping her to kiss correctly. So after the amount of time they spend together with Cameron trying to build herself esteem. They are falling for each other, but Joellen can’t give up on Michael her boss.
This is very entertaining and funny romance, even dealing with a serious problem that a lot of us suffer from, a lack of self-esteem when we feel we don’t conform to the ideal.
I always enjoy JT Geissinger work in all genres, but this is great entertainment. I hope we get an Audiobook so I can hear the Scottish sexy voice and I can visualise all those muscles.

Although this is the second book in this series, Rusty Nail by Nazarea Andrews, is a standalone, there is no need to read Fireball which is the first book in the series.
This was a slow burner of a romance between wealthy playboy Aidric Jones and single mom, Olivia Buckley. These two meet when a fire destroys Aidric home. He hires Olivia’s construction company to fix his house. Aidric has recently become a father to a daughter he never knew he had.
Lucky for Kendra, Theo and his friend Henry take her under their wing after Kendra is bullied at school.
Their kids become friends and in the process so do Olivia and Aidric.
These two couldn’t be more different. They shouldn’t work but the do. The story development was mostly about how these four came together and formed a new family unit. Regardless of his previous playboy ways, he puts Kendra's needs a priority. He falls for Ollie but they take their time as this a new thing for both of them. As neither had dated before, but were delightful together. Well worth a read.

Leo and Kylie were very cute together, and they eventually fell in love much to Leo’s delight.
This is sweet story about Kylie and Leo who have known each other for ages. Kylie has big crush James who going out with someone else. Once Kylie drops a piece of paper with a list of things she wants to achieve in her senior year. Leo luckily picked it up and decided to give Kylie a helping hand. They were a cute couple together, and I love the younger sister she was sweet. I didn’t like Leo’s dad making his feel he was a loser. This is a super fun read for young teens and would have no qualms about a young teen reading it.


The problem I had was trying to picture them because they seemed much younger than 17-18yr olds. I will say it was a pleasant read. More suited for younger teens

I loved Matt, and it was nice to find out more about James the cop.
I have enjoyed getting to know the Chance family who feel like old friends. It was down to Nancy's writing that she brought Rose to life so well, that I was invested enough to be so irritated
The audiobook was narration was superb as the others, I wasn't jolted from the story once. but I couldn’t warm to Rose, I kept wanting shout at her. As this is mostly from Rose’s pov so I was irritated with her most of the time. There is always someone in a family who annoys you so it was true to life in that respect.

Review: Gypsy Blood

Gypsy Blood by Jeff Gunhus
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Reviewed on behalf http://bookaddict.live,
I have been looking forward to reading this book, as I love reading a good supernatural, thriller come horror. I can’t slot this one into a nice little tag. I can say next time I go to Paris I think I will be more careful.
Corbin is an American novelist has gone to live in Paris to write his next novel, but ends up in the middle of a war that belongs in the Paris underworld, and I don’t mean criminal.
This was an addictive read I just had to know what was going on. When Corbin is approached by the beautiful Margot and the next thing he knows he is in the middle of a horror, with a war between two factions.
When an old man is attacked, and Corbin runs to help, nothing is the same
This is nonstop action and I enjoyed every minute. If you enjoy a good horror with plenty of supernatural help this is for you. One thing I want to say, be careful in the Catacombs  below Paris.

Review: One More Time

One More Time by Laurelin Paige
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is a second chance romance between Jenna and Tanner, who have not seen each other ten years.
After both Tanner and Jenna had a loving relationship for three years when they both were at the height of their career, when they broke up and haven’t seen each other for ten years. Jenna is still a model, unfortunately her career is now near its end. When out of the blue Jenna receives an offer of an acting role.
This is a romance with alternate pov’s, as both parties still realise the nothing has changed as far the chemistry between. I have read the book and listened to the Audiobook where I swooned with Erin Mallon and Rupert Channing. This is one hot read or listen take your pick I can't choose between the two. Be prepared when the heat start coming from of your kindle.

SOMBRA
"IF YOU FACE THE SUN, THOUGH YOU WILL ALWAYS HAVE A SHADOW. That’s the way it works. We all cast shadows behind us. Better to take a look and see whats there than to be scared of it." TAVO to KIM
 
As always with this series of standalones set in Love in Translation series. The stories are down to earth, with hot sexy loving and you can feel the connection and emotions jumping of the pages.
We meet some others characters we’ve met before, but this can definitely a standalone. The story is told from alternate pov’s which makes you fall in love with the characters much faster.
This is the story of Kim Brown who comes to Spain to find the learn Spanish, and finds her true calling in life in more ways than one.
Kim has come from America with a very conventional background. It’s not until going to college in Spain, falling in love with the climate, the food and one of the men Tavo that her life blossoms. This is a beautiful love story that brings the ambiance of Spain to life, so you can feel how Kim falls in love with the life realistically. As always with Leslie's books it feels like I've been on holiday and been re-energized . Wait until you meet Tavo, you will understand the Olive Oil reference much better.

Review: Bro Code

Bro Code by Kendall Ryan
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Reviewed on Behalf of http://bookaddict.live,
Kendall Ryan puts her own take on the forbidden trope of best friend’s little sister in her newest release, BRO CODE, and while Barrett Wilson is all about keeping to the code, but when an older, brilliant, feisty, and beautiful Ava Saunders re-enters his life, her off-limits status becomes a bit more problematic, especially when Ava’s boldness lays things out for Barrett in a way that cannot be misinterpreted, Ava wants Barrett, and she’s willing to do whatever it takes to act on the feelings she’s always had for him because the sexual tension that surrounds them is just too overwhelming to deny.
One reason I love stories that bring a guy’s best friend and his sister together is because we are there from the beginning, watching the guy and the girl do everything in their power to remain only friends because giving into the attraction would spell trouble for all three of their relationships, while still knowing that the line is going to be crossed and there’s really no way of stopping it from happening, which means that at the will they or won’t they question as it applies to Barrett and Ava dramatically plays out, readers get to hear the characters’ internal struggles and become aware of their true feelings for the person they are not supposed to want.
Ava is a very likeable heroine whose sharp and witty tongue makes her one of my favorite Kendall Ryan female leads. Ava is all about learning new things and is passionate about an array of topics. I love that she wants to run her father’s company and she wants to do it in a way that will make him proud but also put her own spin on it. .
Ava and Barrett’s story is funny, full of hilarious moments, sexual tension, and witty exchanges, and this is definitely one of my favorite books by Kendall Ryan. I would like to say pure perfection, everything flowed so well it was a pleasure to read.

Review: Back in the Game

Back in the Game by Meghan Quinn
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Reviewed on Behalf of http://bookaddictive,
Wow Meghan has done it again, the queen of romantic comedy. This is the story Calder Weiss of who plays professional Hockey, whose most important role in life is a single father to a five year daughter Shea. Then when dressed as Wanda the fairy wearing fairy wings he meets Rachel the woman of his dreams.
This is sweet funny story and I loved every minute of it. The story flowed well told by dwell pov’s and I was uplifted and smiling. As I always say it was fun and emotional with happily ever after. So if you want a quick fun loving book, I thoroughly recommend it.
The only reason this is a four stars is the length, for me it was the best.

Review: Shutdown Player: Seattle Sockeyes Hockey

Shutdown Player: Seattle Sockeyes Hockey by Jami Davenport
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Reviewed on behalf of http://bookaddict.live,
I always love Jami’s sports romances and this was no different. This was the story of Jared and Stephanie and a pair of physic matchmakers.
This was at times sad, for both Jared and Steph with all the baggage from their previous relationships that stood in the way. This was an uplifting story dealing with real down to earth problems.
Matchmakers extraordinaire tried to make sure true love broke through all the garbage life threw at them. I always love Jami’s sports romances, they can be read standalone, or we often meet up with previous characters.
They are told from alternate pov’s which makes it easier to see whats really going on. I have say I like the piece about Agnes and Giles at the end. A Romance to get your teeth into.
