As a teacher, Maili is adept at juggling multiple tasks, but this is ridiculous. Erotic dreams make her sleep anything but restful. Her father wants to marry her off to a neighboring chieftain’s son. Her grandmother’s whispered blasphemy about doubting the gods has the local volcano threatening to split wide open.

As she prays in the temple for mercy on her grandmother, Maili expects the mountain to smoke and rumble. She doesn’t expect Afu himself to pop through a dark fissure and squash her flat.

And in most of the cases they don’t know why it happens? cheap viagra pill It is just because of healthiness of their erections that fill more enjoyment in the love-game. ‘Erection’ has a vital role to play for enjoyable intercourse activity.

The last thing Dax remembers is vowing to prevent his queen’s assassination. He wakes up in an island paradise, where the primitive natives worship the statue of a troll named Afu. And they expect him—their fyre god incarnate—to stop their cranky volcano from blowing up.

As an incentive, they’ve given him a maiden sacrifice/bride, a dark-eyed beauty who’s just as determined to seduce him as he is to return home in one piece.

While she’s less than thrilled to be traded like a chicken, one thing is certain. Dax is the man in her dreams…and she’s hell bent on making them come true. Or her people may die.

The sixth book in the Guardians of Light series, this one focuses on Dax. As you might have guessed from the title, he is betrayed and sent far away in a magic bubble. What he finds there will change his life but only if he can survive it first.

I love this series, I really do. They all are standalone stories and yet also still manage to be interlinked. The focus is definitely on Dax and Maili but Dara and Loren, plus others, play a big part in it too. The story is fast-and-perfectly-paced, each chapter leading onto the next without any wasted words. I am hopeful part of the story is a pre-runner to the next book but I will just have to wait and see.

I have tried to think of something ‘bad’ to say, just to keep my review balanced. Unfortunately for me, I just can’t think of anything. I think the characters are fantastic, whether you are meant to like them or not. I couldn’t wait to finish this book, just so Dax and Maili got their HEA but at the same time, I didn’t want to finish as I didn’t want their story to be over.

This is such a great series and I really can’t recommend it highly enough. For any fans of fantasy romance out there, give this a try and I’m sure you won’t be disappointed!

In May 2000, Joel Smith is a cocky, adventurous young man who sees the world as his playground. But when the college senior, days from graduation, enters an abandoned Montana mine, he discovers the price of reckless curiosity. He emerges in May 1941 with a cell phone he can’t use, money he can’t spend, and little but his wits to guide his way. Stuck in the age of swing dancing and a peacetime draft, Joel begins a new life as the nation drifts toward war. With the help of his 21-year-old trailblazing grandmother and her friends, he finds his place in a world he knew only from movies and books. But when an opportunity comes to return to the present, Joel must decide whether to leave his new love in the past or choose a course that will alter their lives forever. THE MINE is a love story that follows a humbled man through a critical time in history as he adjusts to new surroundings and wrestles with the knowledge of things to come.

The Mine takes us back to the eve of the U.S’s entrance into WWII. We meet Joel Smith, a college-aged man from the early twenty-first century who accidently stumbles through a time portal into the past.

He believes he shouldn’t interfere with the past, but he does so anyway. He just can’t help himself. He saves a guy being beat up, gets welcomed into his family, and meets his own young grandmother. He gets a job and bets on sports’ events he knows the outcomes of in order to get a fist full of cash. However, the guy is charming and quite affable. He does good things with his money.

To further complicate things, Joel pursues an engaged woman and wins her away from her fiancé. Seems like that could lead to trouble. Several situations are set up that really create great suspense. For example, Joel grows close to the man his grandmother dated before she met Joel’s grandfather, knowing the man will die in the war. Will Joel try to save him with foreknowledge and at risk to his own existence? And what about the war? Could Joel do something? Should he enlist?

This is a real page turner and very well written. The secondary characters are important to the plot and are multi-dimensional. The period details are great, and the relationships are realistic. For an enjoyable tale with a vintage flair, this is a good one to check out.

Jared Durant and Dorian Fitzhugh have been friends since their university days. Busy and at the top of their game work-wise, they nonetheless have stayed in touch, their friendship deepening. What neither man realizes is that he’s been starring in the other’s fantasies for a long time.

It takes Rick Hernerby, the mutual friend who introduced them in the first place, to finally get the ball rolling with a devious Valentine’s Day gift neither Jared nor Dorian will soon forget.

When Jared’s friend purchases him a mysterious night at a swanky hotel with promises of a good time and plenty of pampering, Jared is suspicious but curious. While he’d been led into light-hearted trouble plenty of times, his friend had never really steered Jared wrong. What Jared finds is his deepest and most closely held fantasies are being offered to him on a plate along with Jared’s best friend – Dorian – ready and more than willing to Dominate him. Can Jared and Dorian retain their friendship and turn it into something permanent and fulfilling to them both?

I enjoyed this short story. It’s written in a light and happy manner and as addictive as ice cream. I enjoyed both Jared and Dorian’s characters and their chemistry together was smoking hot. A tiny quibble would be that I’d have enjoyed seeing the two men interact as friends first – so I could get a feel for their dynamic together before they added sex and the intimacy of a BDSM relationship. With the short length of the story though, and the fact that the pace needed to move along to fit everything in, I can completely understand why this part of Dorian and Jared’s relationship wasn’t shown on-page.

The sex is deliciously explicit and hot to read. The BDSM was kinky but still felt wonderfully realistic to me and I’m always a sucker for a friends-to-lovers style of story as it’s such a well-known and utterly believable dynamic. I also really enjoyed how this story stood pretty much completely as a stand-alone. While it’s part of a series (Nailz) and the friend – Rick – who set the hotel stay up for both Jared and Dorian is one of the main characters in the first story (Pierced), Jared and Dorian are both completely the focus of the story. I also was amused and appreciated the quick glimpse at Will, the piercer and Rick’s boy, which helped show that all was progressing smoothly between the two men. Readers can easily pick this up as a stand alone and see if they enjoy the dynamic of this sort of story, then go back to Pierced and enjoy that equally well.

Reader looking for a quick, happy and kinky short read should find this ticks all the right boxes. I thoroughly enjoyed this story and am eager for more in the future. A sexy, hot and quick read.

When her car is unexpectedly towed Deputy Kaden Hunter is called out and is astonished at how much Stevie and Mika tug on his heart. Can Kaden help make Mika’s secret wish come true?

I really enjoyed this realistic and heart-warming Christmas story. I found myself really empathizing with Stevie and respecting her strength and determination. Her instinct and determination to do the best by her son – and stand up for herself was really pleasing to read. I was impressed that she didn’t even consider giving an inch to her asshole ex and while her reluctance to take assistance from Kaden was something I could relate to, I was also pleased to find Stevie wasn’t going to let her pride stop herself from accepting his help and genuine offers of assistance – particularly in relation to Mika.

Both Stevie and Kaden each have a past and are wonderfully complicated characters. I enjoyed the pace of this story – which let them both explore and get to know each other at a slower pace, and I thoroughly enjoyed peeling back the layers on each of their histories. Considering both Stevie and Kaden’s situation I was pleased that they didn’t become sexually intimate until right toward the end of the story. Despite the heat level of the story this slowness in the sexual department certainly made a lot more sense to me and fitted better with the story. When they were intimate I found it delightfully written and very steamy and satisfying.

With plenty of Christmas cheer and a whole bunch of reality, this wonderful, warm-hearted and character-driven story was a pleasure to read and one I know I’ll enjoy again in the future.

The last time homicide detective Tracy Crosswhite was in Cedar Grove, it was to see her sister’s killer put behind bars. Now she’s returned for a respite and the chance to put her life back in order for herself, her attorney husband, Dan, and their new daughter. But tragic memories soon prove impossible to escape.

Dan is drawn into representing a local merchant whose business is jeopardized by the town’s revitalization. And Tracy is urged by the local PD to put her own skills to work on a new case: the brutal murder of a police officer’s wife and local reporter who was investigating a cold-case slaying of a young woman. As Tracy’s and Dan’s cases crisscross, Tracy’s trail becomes dangerous. It’s stirring up her own haunted past and a decades-old conspiracy in Cedar Grove that has erupted in murder. Getting to the truth is all that matters. But what’s Tracy willing to risk as a killer gets closer to her and threatens everyone she loves?

I sure didn’t put this one down very often. It’s the first book I’ve read in the Tracy Crosswhite series. It’s Book 7, and I was never lost. Oh, I could tell things had happened previously in Tracy’s life that weren’t explained in detail, but I don’t think there was one thing that made me feel I was in the dark in this book. I’m not sure how an author writes a continuing series; contains a whole new story in a book; gives you a sense of background and doesn’t go over and over trying to explain what happened before but…Dugoni did it here.

So my previous paragraph probably made it clear I enjoyed this book. I liked all of the characters. Tracy and her husband and their occasional taut relationship and I enjoyed the sense of motherhood weaving in and out. Dugoni built a great sense of tension and danger in his story. He made you worry about Tracy’s daughter Daniella, even about her friends and family. I immediately liked her old chief, Cal and their friends Faz & Vera, even their nanny, Therese. Good grief I’ve listed all of the main characters. I suppose that shows what distinct personalities Dugoni gave them.

As I mentioned, this is book 7 in the series. I’m not one to often go backward in a series but this seems as if it might be worth it. However, I noticed Bugoni has another series or two and I hope he’s writing Book 8 of this one as we speak.

It’s time to settle scores.

But while she’s busy, so is one of the residents of Ironash. Bitter and twisted, blinded by not just rage, he’s hatched a kill plan that he won’t be swayed from.

One thing is for certain, Shona will need all her skills, energy, and strength if she’s ever going to live a normal life again.

But what is normal?

The third story in the Ironash series finally has DI Shona Williams getting some desperately sought answers concerning her past.

I really enjoyed this strongly written police-style mystery story. With well-written, deeply complicated characters and a lovely small-town setting this British mystery is a vibrant and excellent read that I feel everyone will enjoy. The two main characters – DI Shona Williams and her work partner, DS Earle Montague are exceptionally written. I found them realistic, interesting and complicated as only real people can be – conflicted by aspects of their past and present and messy in a relatable and all-too-human kind of way. I feel there is plenty in this story to appeal to a wide range of readers.

While this is the third book of the series the author has written this story in such a manner I feel it can easily be picked up as a stand alone. I personally would strongly recommend readers pick up the previous two installments of the Ironash series to receive the full enjoyment of the complex and detailed weaving of the full plot surrounding Shona and her past. A large part of this story rounds out and closes off a number of aspects of Shona’s driving force and desperately needed answers and I feel that readers will derive more satisfaction and pleasure having started this journey from the beginning. That said I don’t feel it’s in any way necessary to read the two previous books to enjoy this story. A.J. Harlem’s superior story-telling gives the reader all the details and smoothly explains exactly where Shona, Earle and their investigation is at in a simple and brief manner and any reader starting with this story can derive the full enjoyment of the story. To me, personally, this level of writing is the mark of an exceptional author. I am strongly hopeful this will not be the end of the series – there is absolutely still the potential for more to come, I hope. Life will continue for Shona, Earle and Ironash and I’d love to see how the revelations of this story add to the dynamic of their lives.

Another very strong point I adored was the characters and working relationship between Shona and Earle in particular. While there is no sexual chemistry between them, they have such a strong bond, not just of co-workers who must have each other’s backs and trust each other deeply, but also of friends. This slow-moving growth to their relationship has been a delight to witness and particularly since this case hits so close to home seeing the growth in their relationship and working dynamic has been lovely.

As always, there is a police-based plot as well. In this story it takes a bit of a back seat to Shona’s main, and highly personal, case but I was pleased the author did not give short shrift to Manfred or his revenge plans either. As in the two previous stories I felt a level of empathy for the “villain” of the piece. One of the most refreshing aspects to these novels and A.J. Harlem’s writing as a whole is that the author makes me think about “regular” crime in a very different manner. Where we as people – and society as a whole – draws the line between acceptable and not acceptable behavior is always a point of contention and interest and I’ve found that these novels have the knack of making me really sit back and think about when something is understandable and when it’s pushing too far. And any book that can really make me sit back, think and study my own beliefs and experiences and talk about it with friends and family is an exceptional book. These three novels by A.J. Harlem fall within that category and I can’t recommend them highly enough.

Deeply thoughtful with complex and interesting characters this is a magnificent book and one I will eagerly re-read many times again. The author walks a fine line between making the “villain” completely relatable and sympathetic while still delivering an exceptional mystery in a British small-town setting. I can’t wait to get my hands on the next book and see what happens next.

As an avtoritet for the most powerful crime syndicate in New Orleans, Kir Vasilek doesn’t act without purpose, doesn’t speak without thought and never, ever loses his cool. The lives of his brothers, his family, depend on it. But then Cassie McClintock strolls back into his life, and staying cool is next to impossible. Cassie was the one who got away—and Kir is willing to break all his own rules to keep it from happening ever again.

It’s one thing to report on the Russian mafia; it’s quite another to sleep with one of them, especially one as dangerous, and as sinfully sexy, as Kir Vasilek. Even though the information he once provided helped make her career—and the memory of his touch still keeps her up at night—Cassie knows too much about his world to go down that path.

Taming Kir—and helping to save the family she’s come to call her own—is not the story she thought she’d write, but it’s the one she’s determined will get a happy ending.

Cassie has an eye for photography and and nose for news stories. One of those just might get her killed.

After reading book one of the NOLA Knights books, I couldn’t wait to dive it to Cassie and Kir’s story. There’s just something about those Bratva brothers but Kir’s backstory is just extra good, in a heart wrenching way. I loved Cassie too and was thankful she had an Aunt Frieda in her corner.

The story flows very well and I thought it was super clever how the author sprinkled in clues that didn’t even appear to be clues until towards the end. It all comes together in a pretty neat package with one or two red herrings to make it extra interesting. I didn’t expect the explanation and that’s a good thing. I like it when the author surprises me as long it makes sense.

Kir is just the right side of protective and it’s was good to see Cassie not immediately run from it. She’s really just a cool character and someone who I was happy to see Kir claim. And claim her he does. As with book one in the series, the bond is almost tangible but not actually paranormal. Two halves of a whole, magnet to steel.

I gave a little squeal when I realized that I got to meet Roman’s intended for book three. That book can’t be released fast enough! He’s one of those ‘still waters run deep’ kind of men and she’s totally going to get him stirred up in all the right ways!

This is a Russian mafia romance that doesn’t stray into the dark too much. It’s touching and hot and well worth the read.

She is known for her reckless behavior as in a previous book she had stolen their most guarded spaceship, the Liberty Bell, with help from a robot name Madison. She flew the ship into their enemies, the Crownaxians space to rescue her father and other captured individuals. Most people think of her as a hero but Gen. Knox considers her a reckless and undisciplined young woman. As punishment, she is sent on a mission to the union planet Janar, whose northern continent had suffered extreme storm damaage and needed supplies and medical help. She would be under the command of Capt. Yale Brown who is a close friend and confident for Amy and who is the real captain of the Liberty Bell Her co-pilot is Lt. Ford, who does not take a liking to Amy.

Amy is in interesting and complex character with strengths and faults. She is courageous, well-meaning, and has an ability to take charge when a situation calls for it. She does have trouble with listening to orders and putting herself (and sometimes in others) in danger. She also has trouble like any other teenager, especially in the love department. She has a crush on two boys; Ethan and Cole. She is confused on how to handle those feelings. She also has to deal with the competition between the two.

This is a second book in a series for young adults. It is fast paced and interesting with a heroine that many can relate to. It shows how much friendship and a little crush can affect decision making skills. I did think that the story was a little too long and some of the details could have been left out.

The rest of the characters were incredibly well done and relatable. Yale is a strong character who is a perfect role model for Amy. She shows the girl bravery, comradeship, discipline, and the strength to not give up in any situation. Madison, even being a robot, was unable to understand why the other robots were so devoted to their creator. He was the one that found out Dr. Greenland was going to sell them to the enemy. He had the experience of being free and the friendship of Amy which allowed him to experience feelings the others have not.

Ethan, although not a main character, still plays an important role in the story. Besides being a love interest for Amy, he also is a contrast to her personality; he is more cautious, able to follow orders and is not as strong or experienced in battle as Amy. He does help with fixing up Madison after Yale shot him. He is another great support for her along the journey.

An interesting book for young adults and adults to read. It’ll keep your interest because it is full of action and suspense, but also has parts to teach young adults to handle difficult situations. Although it was the second book in the series you don’t need to read the first to make sense of it. It is rather complex so some may have trouble following along but it is well worth it.

This was a fun book for because of all the pop culture references. If you love some Buffy and believe that Firefly got the shaft, this is the book for you. It owned me with all the silly rom-com antics and great dialogue.

Beck and Sarah have great chemistry. They get each other and therefore compliment each other. She provides stability while knowing what he deals with on a daily basis. Beck has a lot of stuff but none of it, not the cars the houses or the money, truly matter to him. It’s a means to an end. He gives her strength and a platform to be brave. To rise about the things that sent her into hiding.

I’m not sure how I was so lucky to find this new author to me but I glad I did. She already has a pretty healthy catalog of stories that I can’t wait to really dive into while I wait for the next installment in the Bro Code to come out.

Readers looking for an honestly fun and yet satisfying rom-com need to give this one a read. Go read Ellie and Wyatt’s book, too. There’s a whole lot happening there that segues very nicely into Beck and Sarah’s story.

Review by Rose

A bargain deal on a safari + one dead body = An adventure no one could plan for.

Naomi and her estranged sister are off on a trip of a lifetime—an African safari, a bucket list trip for Naomi on which she got a last-minute deal. Naomi thinks traveling with her sister will be the worst part of her African safari until she finds one of their fellow travelers, the unlikable Dr. Higgins, dead. She gets more adventure than she bargained for when she starts investigating what she thinks is murder but the luxury lodge says was a tragic accident. She only has a few vacation days, and a few game drives, to find the killer.

Discharge discount viagra which is not normal exist and it is not like something is going into your body or making you feel uncomfortable, and a lot to companies are producing the medicine of ED with the same group of peers, can provide a meaningful laboratory for developing collaborative skills. What a fun start to a series– I’m definitely looking forward to seeing where the author goes with this.

I enjoyed the main character, Naomi, and it was great fun watching her interact with the rest of the characters on the safari trip she was able to score – especially with her sister as they are together for an extended time for the first time in many years (their dad “got Naomi” in the divorce while the sister stayed with Mom).  They were not estranged as much as not as familiar with each other as sisters who are raised together can be. I really hope Charlotte plays a part in the rest of the series….she was a good foil for Naomi.

I can understand Naomi wanting to know what happened and not just brush things under the rug. Once she figured out that there had been a murder, her innate sense of justice would not just let it be swept under a rug.  Besides, the internet was down…what else is a girl to do?

The descriptions of the safari itself were so much fun to read and, even though, it had never been on my bucket list before, I found myself wishing I could go on a trip like that (minus the murder…. I think).

I hope that some of the other characters also make appearances in future books– especially Jack. I have to admit, he was one of my favorites of the secondary characters.

I’m looking forward to seeing what other adventures Naomi and Charlotte get into.  Well done, Ms. Kennedy.
