ClareR (5784 KP) rated Into the Night (Gemma Woodstock, #2) in Books
Jan 16, 2019
An impressive follow-up.
I'm beginning to really like Gemma Woodstock, the main character in this book. She was going through a really hard time in the first book in the series, and she does partake in some pretty risky behaviour here, but by the end she seems to be sorting herself out.
Gemma is put on the case of a murdered celebrity with Fleet, another (male) detective. The only problem is the sheer volume of suspects. He was killed during a shoot of the film he was working on, where a large crowd of zombies are pressing in on him. Every one of those zombies must be identified and questioned. A huge task!
Two other cases are worked on at the same time as this one - there's a lot going on. I don't envy Gemma at all. A really good, satisfying end to the book, and it leaves me wanting to hear and read more about Detective Gemma Woodstock!
Many thanks to ReadersFirst for my copy of this book.

TravelersWife4Life (31 KP) rated Miss Tavistock's Mistake (The Brides of Mayfair #1) in Books
Feb 23, 2021
I was delighted by Miss Tavistock’s Mistake written by Linore Rose Burkard, which is the first book in The Brides of Mayfair series! Readers who like Victorian/Regency historical fiction will enjoy the flow and thoughtful attention to period detail.
Miss Tavistock was a great mix of personalities, pretty much one to match each of her “names” right until they all become one in a great character arch. She was witty, engaging, and made me smile. The Captain… Ooo… Where to start with him? He was a handsome dashing guy with a misunderstood personality right from the beginning. He grew throughout the story and finished as any Captain should. Rescuing his Damsel in distress. Truly a good cast of characters that I look forward to seeing in future books.
I give this book 4 out of 5 stars for the engaging cast of characters, the interesting twists in the story, and the morals/themes in this book.

TravelersWife4Life (31 KP) rated A Promise in Provence (Provence #2) in Books
Feb 24, 2021
I so enjoyed how this book brought forth forgiving the past and learning from it.
Kyle Hunter is a new to me author. This book is part of a series and since I have not read the previous book and I was not confused I think it can be read as a standalone.
I loved Kyle Hunter's vivid descriptions of Mark and Laurens's travels through France (and I will admit I am a little jealous of them!). I also enjoyed the character interactions and the challenges they faced. But I will be honest with you, Lauren is not a very likable character through much of the book and I had a difficult time seeing past her wishy-washy self-centeredness. But I did enjoy the overall story. I thought Lauren’s quest to find herself was interesting and I liked the faith-based aspects of the story. So, I give it 4 out of 5 stars.

Merissa (12351 KP) rated Abundant Moon (Gladstone Shifters #3) in Books
Jun 8, 2021
ABUNDANT MOON is the third book in the Gladstone Shifters series and it focuses on the good things that have happened to the Pack. In particular, the number of babies being born.
The timeline is a bit jumpier than the other two, simply because it skips ahead to the important dates. This is good because it means a) you don't miss out on anything and b) you're not bogged down with 'filler' until the right time comes.
Although this story mainly is about peace and prosperity, my heart broke for Lance and Jonah. I really want these two to get their HEA so I'm hoping for at least one of them in the next book. I think I've figured out who Jonah's might be... possibly? To be honest, I don't care. I love these stories and have no hesitation in recommending them.

Primal Bonds ( Shifters Unbound book 2)
By Jennifer Ashley
Once read a review will be written via Smashbomb and link posted in comments
When a female Shifter comes to town seeking refuge, Feline Shifter Sean Morrissey claims the new arrival and finds a beautiful woman who looks him straight in the eye without fear, stirring the mating frenzy within him.
To relocate to a new Shiftertown, half-Fae, half-Shifter Andrea Gray must accept a new mate. But Andrea's intense attraction to Sean is something she never expected-a perilous complication for a woman with a troubled past.
This is becoming one of my favourite shifter series. I love and hate the premise nobody wants to be in a shock collar but you could imagine this actually happening if shifters existed in real life. This book shows some kickass females and some eye candy in our Irish boys! I really enjoyed this storyline it kept me glued to the book. It also targets deep issues and that we can overcome them regardless of how hard it gets!
