Review: Villains & Vodka

Villains & Vodka by Alta Hensley
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Well Madison has been stalking Harley Crow, and has been obsessing over him, but Harley is usually on his own, and as Marlowe was never working in his area they had never connected before. The Spiked Roses exclusive Men’s Club sets up tastings, which was all different themes. When The Dark and Deadly is announced, and Harley is attending Madison can’t resist signing up.
This is not a pretty romance wrapped up with pretty words. If you read the first in the Series you may have some idea. This is a hired assassin, a paid killer, and he thinks he has a dark soul. Marlowe got her wish and went home with Harley for a weekend. This is a dark and dirty tale, and Harley couldn’t have a woman that is not afraid of him and makes him feel things. So things have to get more deadly .
So this was something I enjoyed if that’s the right word. Alta Hensley always writes well, and I am always are pulled into the story. This Series is not for the faint of heart.

Review: Mr. All Wrong

Mr. All Wrong by R.C. Stephens
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Wow I was blown away by this book, it was not what I was expecting, and it was much more.
Colton fell in love with Evie after throwing a pie in his face. Evie fascinated Colton, he was use to woman throwing themselves at him. So when she ran from him, he chased.
This has so much more than a straight forward romance. I loved the relationship between Colton, Evie and Carter. I don’t want to spoil the story for you. There is a lot going on, and you won’t expect any of it. Give it a go, you won’t be disappointed.
I was glued to my kindle, and it ended up being an all nighter.

Review: The British Knight

The British Knight by Louise Bay
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Reviewed on behalf of http://bookaddict.live,
I have really enjoyed reading about Violet and Alexander, or Mr Knightley. Where have I heard that name before? This is a lovely romance, and they are a great couple from the word go. Violet is employed to try and sort out his paperwork, and get his billing up to date.
This is set mostly in London, and Louise describes Lincoln Inn, and chambers so well. I had a cousin who was barrister there, and it brought back memories. If you enjoyed The Duke of Manhattan, this is Scarlett little sister. This had everything you would like in it like hot sex, a hunky man, great banter and a couple worth cheering on. They were perfect for each other, and I was hooked from the beginning. This to me was the perfect entertaining romance.

Review: Michael: A Scrooged Christmas

Michael: A Scrooged Christmas by F.G. Adams
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I absolutely loved this delightful Christmas tale, in a nice bite size chunk of feel good cheer. I fell in love with Michael who after having his heart broken closed himself off from feeling anything good or bad.
Then he meets up with his best friends little sister Holly who has decided to bring back the happy man she has known and loved since she was a child.
Before we know it cyclone Holly has attacked Michael’s unhappiness and caused a dent in the walls around his heart. That’s all from me, enjoy the run up to Christmas with Holly and Michael’s road to their happily ever after.

Review: Wolves and Roses

Wolves and Roses by Christina Bauer
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is Book one in a wonderful new series by Christina Bauer, and as usual she has drawn me into another series that has kept me hooked.
This is set in a world where magic appears to dying, in this first trip into the Fairy Tales of the Magicorum.
Our kick ass heroine Bryer Rose who is living the Sleeping Beauty Template. Her best friend is Elle a failing Cinderella template. They both attend Magicorum teen Therapy Group for failing to live up to their templates.
Two great female characters who are tough and can take care of themselves. We always have such strong females in Christina’s books and this one is no different. The action really kicks in when they get caught breaking into LaCharmes office and they meet the arrival committee in the form of Knox and Alec, I have only one thing to say LET THE GAMES BEGIN.
The adventures certainly begin, and I was dragged me into the story that didn’t let me out until the end. When I finished I felt totally bereft. So I went back and read Thrax, and enjoyed so more girl power. We didn’t just have girl power, Knox was pretty spectacular and I could understand Bryar's attraction. I could go on about this book, but then there would be nothing for you to find out. If you enjoy Christina’s books you’ll love this. If you haven’t read any, this is book one in a new series. So it’s good place to start. I will say you are not left on a cliffhanger, as the story arc for couple finish on a positive not.

Review: Crowned

I don’t know how Christina Bauer manages to do it, I have been hooked on the Angelbound Series, and then I discovered this series. It seems I’ve waiting ages for this book I just couldn’t see how it was going to be resolved. As always nothing is ever easy for our kickass heroine. I thought she had Rowan and the casters now, that’s too easy for Elea.
As always they have a great cast of characters that have appeared through the books in the Series. Also a visit from vindictive Victor put in his usual appearance trying to take over the worlds.
I did love Rowan’s little brother Jicho, and his magic ship. This book was a compelling read, if you have never read this series, I really recommend it, as Christina always develops such rich worlds with great characters. Even the baddies are inventive with their schemes. I was very happy with the outcome, and we ended on a happy note. As always it was feast for the brain, and gives the imagination at a FIVE Star work out.

Review: Off Duty

Off Duty by Kristen Hope Mazzola
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Reviewed on Behalf of http://bookaddict.live,
This book is about Sean the policeman friend of Gavin and Myla, and plenty of other characters from same world. Sean has got used to seeing his best friends happy, fulfilled and in love.
Then he gets a new partner Jessica McBee, and he works with her for a year or two before either one will admit to other how they feel.
This was a quick and I felt quite a festive read, but there is so much packed in, with the story and the time line. This is no insta lust or love, they get to become best friends and partners first and the rest follows. There is so much more but that’s it from me, you need to read it yourself. This can be read as a standalone or a great addition to the series.
