Five suspenseful stars for Silenced by Sin

**Trigger warning: If you are sensitive to violence, murder, pain, torture, abuse or you’re squeamish then portions of this book may bother you. Reader discretion advised.**

Biker take me away!!! 

Book 2 in Ashley’s Heaven’s Guardians MC series doesn’t disappoint. This is Patch aka Evander Cruz’s story and he’s just as lovable as he was when I was introduced to him in the first book. Patch is the doctor of the group, but don’t let that fool you. He’s just as much a vigilante as he is a savior. For as much as that Hippocratic oath calls to him, the destruction of evil is just as strong, and for wrongdoers, Hell hath no fury like that of the Heaven’s Guardians MC. They protect their own and those less fortunate too, which makes them all so endearing. Each member is as unique as their handles and Patch is no exception. I was eager to hear his story following book one--for these books are so distinctive and I knew I would love them immediately. 

Alaska Watson is a spitfire and an easily lovable heroine. She’s a single mom who works hard and will do anything to keep her daughter safe. Grace is absolutely precious and her precociousness reminded me of my own sweet baby heroine, Dallas Kinsen. Alaska and Grace are the perfect duo for a lost soul like Patch, but he doesn’t want a replacement family and soon he’s trying hard to fit the burning desire to have them filling the void in his life. 

But Alaska and Patch have grave secrets, secrets that may cost them everything. 

I loved this sequel and loved how the story flowed seamlessly, as if I had never left Colorado or the gang. And these bikers are so swoony too. I loved catching up with Willow, Leo, and Priest. Bullet and Demon too. And Angel is as funny as ever. Alaska was as original as her namesake and despite the many times I was yelling at her to, “OMG!, Stop,” and “Just listen to Patch,” she didn’t and became a bad-a$$ for it. Love a woman who can handle her own ;-) 

This book had suspense, drama, action, laughs, tears, gasps and awe. I was literally heartbroken for this couple but in the end it all came together in a beautiful culmination and I’m super excited for book 3, Bullet’s story as well as the last two. I can’t wait to see what Ashley has in store next!!!

Review for Renown by Danielle Novotny

Five phenomenal stars for yet another out of this world sci-fi novel by this author

As if I wasn’t already awed by Aliya Rathburn, this book made her even more lovable. The battle on Vanthurium may be over but the war isn’t and the team is still reeling from their injuries, setbacks, and the damage done by the malicious Krech. Aliya is having horrible nightmares, Adis is missing, and even Caspian is more withdrawn than usual. What’s more is the team is about to be split apart to go serve the King and no one is prepared for what comes next. 

What starts out as a simple “babysitting” job for the reckless, playboy prince becomes so much more as Aliya and Caspian grow ever closer, the Krech continue to invade the King’s galaxy, and Aliya shows everyone that she’s not just a humanized weapon but a true force to be reckoned with. Danielle painted a world of awe, intrigue, and beauty as she takes the reader to new places and planets and the suspense builds towards the end of the book in a mind-blowing crescendo that left me breathless. 

This one had it all: action, drama, suspense and romance. I just loved Damien’s turn-around, Aliya’s unwavering bravery, Adis’s strength and as always Captain Caspian (swoon) and I can’t wait to see what’s in store for Aliya in book 3 of this exciting trilogy.

Review for Saddler's Secret by Nicole Rodrigues

Five flirty stars for Saddler's Surprise

(First off, isn't this cover just precious?!)
​
Surprise
is the keyword in this sexy, funny, and heart-warming novel of the notorious swoon-queen’s.

How could I not love a story with a fellow Georgia peach as sweet as Gwendolyn James? And damn, Eli Saddler is super swoony and sweet...and a total alpha too.

I loved their chemistry, their humor, and their connections and Nicole brought all the steam, as always.

I loved getting to revisit the other couples, I adored Sadie, and I love how this book (especially) centered around the family I’ve grown to love like their my own--The Saddlers.

This book will make you laugh, cry, swoon, and cuss as you go from Aruba to Arizona to Georgia and back again in this fourth book in the series. Nic knows how to write her boys...and her Georgia peaches too for that matter ;-)

Take a hot trip to Aruba on this cold winter day...you won’t be disappointed.

Review for Battle for the Valley by C.R. Pugh

Five fabulous stars for this intense and action packed finale

What a heart-pumping, page-turning thrill ride this book was!

This finale to the epic Valley series picks up right where book 2 left off: Ravyn, Thorne, and the Warriors are back in the Valley once more, but things aren’t as they seem. There are soldiers, sabers, and howlers stalking them…and there’s a spy amongst their ranks; The battle for true freedom has only just begun.

Winter is quickly approaching, and Peton, Ahern, and those seeking reprieve from the evil General Wolfe must ban together to put an end to his reign once and for all. The stakes are even higher, the action is literally constant, and the connection between Ravyn and Thorne is growing ever stronger. I enjoyed the romance and sweet moments between them even as the suspense heightened with each turn of the page.

The Warriors were brave and noble, the twists and turns were unexpected, and I was happy with how it all wrapped up, despite that it was bittersweet as well.

If you enjoy a non-stop adventure with suspense, action, plot twists, romance, and even a little drama, a book you can't put down, then check this one out, you won’t be disappointed.

Review for Catch by Evelyn Montgomery

Five fantastic stars for Catch

If you ever wanted a man solely devoted to you, then Hunter Alexander is your man!


He not only talks the talk, this stud walks the walk.

The minute his eyes land on Rochelle Thomas, there’s simply no one else. And he makes it his mission to prove himself to her, despite her sordid past. But these two are from different sides of the tracks and Rochelle’s always known her place, despite Hunter’s persistence.

Can these star-crossed lovers overcome what holds them back and be together or is the one thing standing between them enough to change everything ?

I really enjoyed this fifth book of Evelyn Montgomery’s, it was sweet, sexy and had a twist I wasn’t expecting.

Grab your copy today, it’s quite a Catch ;-)
