A Moment In Time by Isobel Kelly

REVIEWED By Becky Cox


A Moment in Time by Isobel Kelly
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I was gifted a copy for an honest review.

Keva and Jaysen's story is a series of twist that keeps you on your toes.

"Keva O’Neill escapes Ireland and her stepfather’s greedy schemes and flees to Athens. She needs a job and a place to hide. Jaysen Sebastian needs a language specialist to assist in his international negotiations. It seems like the perfect match and, as Jaysen sweeps her into marriage, their attraction deepens into love. But sinister forces are at work to destroy their happiness by any means possible."

I enjoyed Keva' sense of humor and spunkiness. Her personalty made it easy to connect with her character. Jaysen, began his relationship with Keva strictly to gain an heir, but realized he felt a true connection to her. A Moment in Time is a sweet love story and a journey to discovering each other for Keva and Jaysen. But it is also so much more. You never know what is coming in the next chapter and I enjoyed the originality of the plot. I would recommend this book to romance story enthusiasts. Well written having humor, angst, love and excitement. Great combination.

Billionaire Untamed by Author J.S. Scott

REVIEWED BY Melinda Lazar


Billionaire Untamed ~ Tate by J.S. Scott
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Billionaire Untamed by JS Scott
5 Sexy Stars

Wow. Just wow! I have been waiting forever for Tate's story and oh my God, it is absolutely worth the wait! I loved everything about this book except I really wanted more! More Tate! More Lara! More steamy sex! More everything! I knew I was going to love Tate but JS Scott surpassed every expectation I had. Tate is definitely a sexy alpha with a sweet side that loves deeply. Whether it was love for his family, friends or Lara, he wasn't shy about letting it be known - but please, don't mistake him for a softie (he is ex-Seal, after all)! I think Lara is JS Scott's strongest female yet and I really loved her character. The story itself and the writing are outstanding. There's a perfect mix of love and sassyness and definite intrigue. At one stage I was sitting there with my heart in my throat thinking 'where is JS Scott going with this?!' I really love the cameo appearances we get from the author's other billionaires - it makes the reading that much more special. I know I'm being greedy, but I'm already counting down to the next billionaire in this series! This was a fabulous read and I don't hesitate to recommend both this book and the series as a whole.

Descent And Desire by Angelique Voisen

REVIEWED BY Becky Cox


Descent and Desire by Angelique Voisen
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

An interesting take on paranormal. I enjoyed the character interaction, some dramatic and humor. “My thing?” Gavin grinned in spite of the situation, and Charlie found herself grinning back.
Perhaps sometimes one needed humor even in dire situations. The battle scenes were well written and exciting. Kathryn pressed a hand over the creature’s chest, her brows furrowed with concentration.
“Why are you healing it?” Charlie asked, flabbergasted. The wounds didn’t close though. Howling in pain, the creature’s body shuddered violently, and then went still.

"An anomaly born to a family of seers and healers, Kathryn Axel has only been allowed to live because of a prophecy, and prophecy demands betraying her friends and sacrificing the man she loves."

Kathryn having been told the prophecy at a young age knew the it foretold her death and that of the one she loves. To save herself additional heartbreak she refuses to let Gavin near her heart. She has avoided physical or emotional contact with Gavin her whole life until she just can't resist him any longer. Kathryn, trying to protect her friends, doesn't tell them the entire prophecy either so they can enjoy their lives and not be aware of their impending deaths. But there comes a time when the truth must be revealed to all.

I enjoyed Descent and Desire and look forward to more from this author. I would recommend this novella to all paranormal romance readers.

A review of Phantom Wolf by Kia Carrington-Russell

REVIEWED BY Becky Cox


Phantom Wolf by Kia Carrington-Russell
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Sia is a Phantom Wolf. Once a Phantom Wolf has been created, they hunt their blood pack and slaughter all their loved ones. Except for Sia, who woke years after her death to find herself rampaging through the land on a lonely path.

Sia was murdered by the human boy she loved and awakened as a Phantom Wolf. She feels deep guilt for not listening to her father and his warnings of humans and heartbreak from the love she had for the human boy Thomas. The supernatural characters given to us by this author are new to me. They are, from my interpretation, half wolf and half human. Sia is a Phantom Wolf which is half dead/half alive version and has some supernatural powers. Her emotional journey through her anger at being murdered by someone she loved and humiliation at being a Phantom Wolf to learning to love again and reestablishing a childhood friendship is a roller coaster. You really feel for her turmoil. She feels compelled to protect Keeley from real and perceived dangers. Sia doesn't believe that she is allowed to love again or feel happiness again. Between Keeley, Kiba and young Trim she learns she is still capable of both. The interactions between Kiba and Sia are humorous and will give you a chuckle or two.

The patience Sia's childhood friend Keeley and Alpha Kiba have with her is heartwarming.
I felt a connection with several of the supporting characters.

A good debut novel for a young author that has great potential.

A review of Skylar's Dream by Caissy Bourdreau

REVIEWED BY Becky Cox


Skylar's Dream by Caissy Boudreau
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Rating 3.5

Skylar's Dream is a debut novel for Caissy Boudreau. If you are looking for an action packed booked, this one delivers.

Skylar has dreams about family members and premonitions of future battles she will have to fight in order for her and friends to save the world from the Dark Angels. She, along with childhood friends Rhiannon and Blaze, her father and some other supernaturals sent to assist her, fight several battles against the Dark Angels. Along their journey several characters finds their mates. If you love the supernaturals Caissy has given you a wide in this book.

It was a bit fasted past for me and at times I struggled to follow the story line. Readers who enjoy a fast paced book with lots of action would enjoy this book. I had a hard time connecting to the characters due to the speed at which everything occurs.

Blyss by J.C. Cliff

REVIEWED BY Becky Cox


Blyss by J.C. Cliff
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Besides the fact that I want to have a martini with the author who can think up this story, I loved this book. Blyss has an unconventional story line and it is a little dark. I was hooked from the first chapter and couldn't stop reading until I finished. Jules' life is on track, getting ready to graduate college and get married. Her mogul dad demands she spend her last summer of college at home with him. Jules is missing her fiance' but is pleased with how the summer has gone with her father, who has been more attentive than normal. Then everything changes. She is kidnapped and taken to a facility to be trained as a sex slave for an obsessive Nick. She is to be trained for Nick by Travis (a hottie)through the use of drugs (Blyss) and emotional manipulation. During the process Jules and Travis develop a strong bond. Jules is strong and clever. She never gives up trying to escape and defy her captures. Who doesn't love a strong female character. JC Cliff is an excellent author and amazing story teller. I finished Blyss and immediately one-clicked Blyssful Lies. Well done JC, you have a new fan.

Evelyn by Tracie Podger

REVIEWED BY Kerry Callaway


Evelyn by Tracie Podger
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Wow!!! I have only read a handful of novella in the past that pack a load of emotion into every page this novella being one of them!! I loved this book it took me on a rollercoaster of emotions, the main characters had a strength that I loved given their past circumstances and the situation they found themselves in, and all the way through reading this I hoped they would find the future they would dream of but knowing from the start that not all things work out as we hope. This novella can be read as a standalone or part of the Fallen Angel series.
This book shares the story of Evelyn, she is a sixteen year old girl who falls in love with her fathers employee, Rocco is not a straight forward guy yet that doesn't stop Evelyn from blushing everytime he talks to her and being attracted to him even though she knows he could break her heart. Just before her seventeenth birthday her mum dies of cancer and she is left having to grow up quick and support her father and look after her younger siblings, always in the background is Rocco and her feelings for him keep getting stronger then after one night their relationship changes!!!
I loved this novella, it had me grabbing a box of tissues several times while reading it!!! I could read it over and over again, I am definitely going to read the Fallen Angel series next!!!
