CONTEMPORARY ROMANCE REVIEW- SECOND CHANCE SUMMER BY JILL SHALVIS

second chance summer
RESCUE ME

Cedar Ridge, Colorado, is famous for crisp mountain air, clear blue skies, and pine-scented breezes. And it’s the last place Lily Danville wants to be. But she needs a job, and there’s an opening at the hottest resort in her hometown. What has her concerned is the other hot property in Cedar Ridge: Aidan Kincaid-firefighter, rescue worker, and heartbreaker. She never could resist that devastating smile . . .

The Kincaid brothers are as rough and rugged as the Rocky Mountains they call home. Aidan has always done things his own way, by his own rules. And never has he regretted anything more than letting Lily walk out of his life ten years ago. If anyone has ever been in need of rescuing, she has. What she needs more than anything are long hikes, slow dances, and sizzling kisses. But that can only happen if he can get her to give Cedar Ridge-and this bad boy-a second chance . . .

I was given a copy of this book by Netgalley for an honest review.

SECOND CHANCE SUMMER is another great book from Jill Shalvis. As always her characters and story come to life, pulling you in and not letting you go until you have finished the book. Lily is coming back to Cedar ridge after a fallout at her other job. Now she is needing a new start and somewhere to let the gossip to die down. She just has to keep her distance from Aidan. She has always had feelings for him, but when her little sister wanted him also,  she stepped back and let her have him. Aiden‘s feelings for Lily are still strong and he has to convince her that are meant to be together. This is such a great novel that it will have you rooting for Lily and Aiden to get together. Jill Shalvis always delivers a great read, and I am never disappointed. I give SECOND CHANCE SUMMER 5/5 STARS.

This is book two of this series, and RAVEN’S WING is a rollercoaster of a ride. The characters and storyline are very well-developed. It is a couple of years later after the last book, and Raven and Cassandra are now living together. Cassandra is working for GII(Guardians II), another branch of the guardians, and Raven consults on cases. Raven is being railroaded again, and is being setup for stealing the Ravensblood. He has to go into hiding so he can find out who stole it. Cassandra is working the case, but is suspended along with are friends and family of the Guardians,crafters, and Art community who are loyal to Cassandra and Raven. They know he would not steal the Ravensblood back. The clock is ticking and they must find this person before they force the Ravensblood to recognize them as the new owner of the stone. When this happens all hell will break loose. I loved this story and recommend it to everyone. I give RAVEN’S WING 5/5 stars.

BOOK REVIEW-BATTERED SPIRIT BY R’LEE COFFEY

battered spirit
The blood moon is quickly approaching, but Grady Bosiet isn’t ready to give up. Keeping the girl he loves alive is his top priority so Grady is determined to get Kydia out of the Shadow Spirit business for good.
Afraid to let her out of his sight, Grady drags Kydia along with him as he hunts down a powerful witch and the promise of answers. But as if trying to outsmart the blood moon ritual isn’t tricky enough, they have another, possibly larger hurdle to duck beneath. When Gabriel Bosiet said he had rid the world of Draken, it had been a slight exaggeration. Other Draken are out there, and as word of the Shadow Spirit spreads, they’re making themselves known by throwing their hats into the ring.
It’s game on for Kydia’s soul, no rules, winner take all.

BATTERED SPIRIT is the second book in this series and it delivers on all fronts, Grady and Kydia are trying to find a way to save Kydia when he gets the other part of the Draken soul. Kydia, Grady and Justin(aka Gale), Grady’s other brother. Other Draken clans are coming to town to take the soul back. They send the half breed Wyrven to kill the others and bring Kydia to them. This book has so much action, twists and turns that will keep you on the edge of your seat. The characters and story line are well-developed. I cannot wait to see what happens in the next book, and I recommend this book to everyone. I give BATTERED SPIRIT 5/5 STARS.

PARANORMAL ROMANCE REVIEW- BROKEN SOUL BY R’LEE COFFEY

broken soul
Two years ago, a horde of bloodthirsty creatures ravaged Kydia Quinn’s home, leaving Whitney Lake a desolate wasteland.
The Legion stepped in and took care of business, destroying the monsters and giving Kydia’s life purpose.
Now, a soldier for the creepy crawly fighting squad (and able to kick butt better than anyone) Kydia can protect the people she loves from the horrible demons that skirt the shadows. But Kydia didn’t count on Grady, a swoon worthy mystery man that completely throws her off her game.
Grady takes the term creepy to a whole new level, strangely fascinated with Kydia to an obsessive degree.
As Kydia struggles to understand what Grady is and what his interest in her is all about, a new and more dangerous breed of monster skates into town, one the Legion thought was extinct.
Kydia finds herself the center of an archaic retaliation that puts her ¬¬life in jeopardy. She can battle monsters until the cows come home, but is she powerless when it comes to saving herself from a curse that threatens to break her soul?

BOOK DESCRIPTION COURTESY OF AMAZON

I was given a copy of this book by the Author for an honest review.

BROKEN SOUL is a great start to this series. It has a well-developed characters and story line. Kydia is part of the Legion, fighting monsters and when the Draken show up in town things heat up and go to hell. Grady is part of the Draken and when he meets Kydia and he wants her. The Draken’s soul is split in two when they get to a certain age, and they loose the ability to feel anything. They cannot feel touch, love, sadness, etc. Kydia is a shadow spirit whose soul is imprinted by a Draken. Grady must keep Kydia safe from other Draken who wants to get the other part of their soul back, but if that happens the shadow spirit die. I recommend thid book to everyone. I give BROKEN SOUL 5/5 STARS.

PARANORMAL ROMANCE REVIEW-ARMAGEDDON RULES BY J.C. NELSON

armageddon rules
Marissa Locks, newly appointed partner of the Grimm Agency, has a reputation for making a mess of magical matters—although causing Armageddon is a new low, even for her…

Marissa is due for a little happily ever after. After all, she did kill the evil Fairy Godmother, end a war, and snag a sweet promotion within the Fairy Godfather’s magical-problem-solving Agency. But between maintaining a relationship with someone whose amorous advances can cause third-degree burns, dealing with a killer-poodle infestation, and helping her best friend, Princess Ari, learn to wield spells more powerful than curing a hangover, she’s not getting as much peace and quiet as she hoped.

When an enemy from her past appears to exact a terrible revenge, Marissa’s life goes from hectic to hell on earth. With Grimm inexplicably gone and Ari trapped by a sleeping spell, Marissa decides to fight fire with hellfire—and accidentally begins a countdown to the apocalypse.

With the end of days extremely nigh, Marissa will have to master royal politics, demonic law, and biblical plagues in a hurry—because even the end of the world can’t keep the Agency from opening for business…

BOOK DESCRIPTION COURTESY OF AMAZON

ARMAGEDDON RULES is nonstop action. The characters and story line are well-developed. Marissa has a lot on her plate, and it only gets worse. With a rash of killer poodles, (Yes, I said poodles.) to making a deal with a demon, to having to save the Fairy Godfather. They have a new piper that they have to train and clean up.
