Worth the Wait

Worth the Wait by K.M. Neuhold

OMG where do I start?? Absolutely loved this book!!! Abby and Ethan are great and real. Both have their issues for not wanting relationships and have to find a way to move past that. I really enjoyed all the characters in this book. Every character is strong and you can see growth in not just the two main characters but in all of them. I loved watching the growth in Abby and Ethan so much, with everything they, particularly Abby, have gone through. I saw them not only move past their pasts but face their past as well. This story had an amazing flow. Everything from beginning to middle to end I couldn't help but love this book and this characters more and more. This is definitely a story that will pull you in and hold you there until the very end. I could not put this book down. This is one of those great stories with the writing that is so great that you literally picture everything in your mind and it becomes like watching a movie in your head. I am so glad I jumped at the chance to read this book when the author offered it to me. Thank you K.M. Neuhold!!! I don't think I could have loved this story and characters any more.

I received this book from the author through The Next Great Read Book Reviews.

At Any Price

At Any Price by Brena Aubrey
OMG. I hardly know what to say. Of all the hair brained, crazy ideas the main character, Amelia could have!? Oh, what a disaster this could have been. But, wow! It was a suck you in, snatching your attention kind of read. It was like being a fly on the wall. And, while yes Amelia had some rather ...different ideas, she made sense. Her argument had substance. It almost made me think of how well a paper like that would do in a rhetoric class.
What to say without giving away anything? Ok, the characters were great. I liked all of them. Fully developed living, breathing, characters. Ms. Aubrey has a way with words. Loved Beauman as well. Totally know some of those all man gay guys. People stereotype them so much. But, there are plenty of Beaumans out there.
 I just loved this book. It was unconventional, witty, well done. Great story. It was a concept that was masterfully crafted to deliver an amazing reading/listening experience.
And, let's not forget the narrator. Wow! Kirsten Leigh does an AMAZINGLY job of making these characters, their story, their anguish, thoughts, feelings just real. She strapped you in the front row and takes you for a ride.

XODUS (The Astralis Series Book 1)

XODUS (The Astralis Series Book 1)
by K.J. McPike    

I'm hooked! I took a chance on this book because usually I can't find books in this genre that, I believe it's listed in Fantasy, Paranormal, Magic. And, as most genre's are, those categories are so vague that it's often not something I want to read. However, this book looked interesting. I listened to the sample and my interest was immediately peaked!
Ms. McPike makes the unreal, believable. Her characters are interesting and well developed. Their reactions are believable. She takes the fantasy, magic, paranormal and adds it to real, normal life and the characters react to it. The storyline was smart and engaging. And, I can honestly say I lost sleep, having an extremely busy week that didn't allow for much listening or reading. I found myself having to force myself to put it down so I could go to sleep at night. I am a fan! Can't wait for book 2. This is also the first book I've listened to that was narrated by Natalie Hoyt. She did a fantastic job.

Love On The Horizon

Love On The Horizon by AM Madden

AWE!!!! This is such a sweet story of taking chances and finding love. I absolutely loved all the characters, well maybe except one or two lol. Marco and Rebecca are such a beautiful couple and they truly warm my heart.
I originally read this as a novella and now A.M. Madden has turned it into an amazing full length novel. What was a sweet story is now a full length novel that will suck you in and hold you there until the very end. You have an amazing and strong characters that will make you laugh and take you through a series of emotions. I loved watching these characters face their fear, grow, and follow their hearts. This book truly has it all - great leads, a great BFF, drama, suspense, and of course love. Rebecca and Marco completely pull you into their feelings from the beginning and have you wanting them together no matter what. Ricky is the best friend very one wants, he will make you laugh when you don't think you can and push you to follow your heart. I loved the families in this book - they are real! They are the type that when reading, you think this could so be my family lol. Love on the Horizon is definitely another amazing book from A.M. Madden. I just wish I could give it more stars, because it really does deserve more than 5.

Love on The Horizon

Love on The Horizon by A.M. Madden
Loved it! This book actually captured me from the first page. I plowed through it not wanting to put it down. I loved the characters. They were so well developed. Marco was enticing and Ricky was just a riot. This is my first book by A.M. Madden. I signed up for the ARC because it sounded like an interesting concept. And, I'm so glad I did. Thoroughly enjoyed it and have added Ms. Madden to my watch list to look for other books of hers.

The Domville 7

The Domville 7  by C.J Fallowfield
HOT HOT HOT!!!! I really think I need a night at The Domville because nights there are absolutely sizzling!! CJ Fallowfield has written another amazing story. Without giving too much away I have to say be careful what you wish for, because how would you feel to wish something doesn't happen just to wish it had when it doesn't. As always, I loved this book and it is definitely one that can keep you warm and cozy on a cold winter's night.

The Duke of Scandal

The Duke of Scandal by Gaelen Foley

 

I love the characters in this novel, not just Felicity and Jason but the supporting characters as well, who I am hoping will feature in other episodes of this intoxicating series. I had already met them in the prequel novella One Moonlit Night and I am so absorbed in the setting of Moonlight Square in the fashionable heart of London Regency days that I wish I lived in that time. But instead I have the next best thing – Ms. Foley accurately describing this colorful era, from their attire and transport, to the ‘Square’ itself.

 

My favorite part of Duke of Scandal was Jason’s secret. Without giving anything away, I can say that it’s an explosive secret and a scenario that most authors of this genre tend to steer away from. I applaud Ms. Foley for having the courage and expertise to include it and make the story (and Jason’s character) much more believable.

 

I am now hanging out waiting for book 2. I received this book in exchange for an honest review.
