Review:

"Devil in the Making" by Victoria Vane was a beautifully written short story
of where it all begins...the early years..illustrated prequel  of  'The Devil DeVere
Series). The main characters...'young Lord Ludovic DeVere, Edward 'Ned' Chambers,  Simon 'Sin" Singleton and Charles Fox' were all known for their pranks really causing you to only  laugh out loud.  You will see how each one of these friends will met...the trouble they got into...omg at the university in the Georgian, England.  "Breaking into the King's menagerie, facing the wrath of the headmaster at school, facing the unholy wrath of his father and ultimately the wrath of the King, all part of the life of Devil DeVere and the story continues....this is where I say you must pick up "Devil in the Making" to find out just what all will come out from this good read.  There will be a part of the read that will let you know of the what and why of the relationship between DeVere's mother and father and questions will be answered to the why  DeVere is the man he is.

I don't want to leave out the beautiful color  illustrations are simply wonderful
that  Ms. Vane gives  the reader a pure description of each of the characters.
This read will definitely have each reader wanting more of Ms. Vane storytelling
of the 'The Devil DeVere Series.' 

If anyone is in for a good read that will unfold with humor and some bit of
seduction in a delightful way..."Devil in the Making"  would be recommended
to you...especially if you plan to pick up the series.

Review:

"A Wild Night's Bride" by Victoria Vane was a fun, erotic and sexy short quick
read with a good plot.  I can  not put it any other way...maybe adding some
historical romance.  Let me say first that  this novel is for the mature audience.
I was even found to laugh out loud many times throughout this novel.  You
will find there are three characters...Phoebe, Ned and DeVere that will keep
you  very well  entertained turning the pages to see what was going on next and
omg that sex scene between the two being so sizzling hot.  Now, I know you
are probably wondering just what all this is about...and all I can say is it was because of DeVere, that all of this happened...what happened...well, you will have to pick up "A Wild Night's Bride" to find out just what 'The Devil Devere' has done.

You will find that this author has a unique writing style that will balance all of
the sexiness and humor to give the reader a well written read and yes, I would
recommend "A Wild Night's Bride" as a excellent read and then saying I am ready for the next series.

Review:

"Piper LeVine, a Gypsy's Truth" by Eris Kelli was a paranormal fantasy fiction read  that once you start reading you will be truly hooked into this wonderful storyline.  This story was of a girl...who was senator's daughter that was not treated very well by him....finding out that her mother she thought she knew was not her birth mother had left to live with  Grandma Sidney.  From a very social life to a story of werewolves and vampires....and guess who was  a gypsy...Piper, (YES) who would soon find out she was  the  'heir to become Queen of the Gypsies'  and even later 'Queen of the Vampire Community.' Again, with all in this storyline that is going on  ....there  is even a YA 'love triangle' dealing with Piper(Kellan), Nicholas, and Toryn which will present a lots of  'jealousy fear, heartache, confusion,  much anger,  and solving mysteries'  in this twisted novel.  Now, that I have your attention I will say to truly understand
just what all is going on in in this read "Piper LeVine, a Gypsy's Truth" you must pick up the excellent read to find out how this story will come out with Piper having to make a decision of her life.  I found the characters were all simply
off the chart well developed making this novel a very captivating read from
Piper, Nicholas, Toryn, Brynn, Daniel,Duncan,Donnell,  Seraph, Benzea, Rich,
Marime, Harold, Madric, Trina, Grandma Sidney, Barthow, Adriel, Morgan Castlerock, Cayden  to a few more that I left for you to find. What all this young woman(Piper) had to go through was really very interesting how this  author did such a wonderful  job in portraying all of the different  emotions through all of this...only leaving me to say what a read and saying I am ready for the next sequel.

If you are looking for a well written read that will keep you captivated then this
paranormal fantasy fiction is recommended as a excellent thriller  read for you.

Review:

"Ashes and Wine: by Taryn Elliott was a lovely well written contemporary
romantic read that I thoroughly enjoyed.  This author really did a great job in bringing this story to life in such a heart warming way.  It had been three
years  that had gone by that Tessa Winter and Royal Andres had met..however,
they never shared their feeling with one another until the kiss and this  is where this storyline begins and will continue at a pace that you will get all the what, why, where and how of it all in the well written read.  All of the characters were well developed...from Tessa, Royal, and Mercy..only to name a few  that helped give this such a rich interesting story.

"Ashes and Wine"  dealt with loss of a love one and finding true love.  Now, I am sure you are probably wondering what "Ashes and Wine" is all about and this is where I say you must pick up this read to find out questions like why Royal had refused for so long to give up on a relationship for his family? What a devotion Royal had for his family! 

If you are looking for a heart breaking, yet a captivating story you have come to theright place for "Ashes and Wine" will deliver to you a rich fantastic  love story and I would recommend this read as a excellent novel.

Review:

"My Brother's Keeper" by Jade Jones was some good read that was very
believable... like  Cain and Abel!  "My Brother's Keeper" is a very very believable
story.  This novel was one of those that I couldn't put down.  It was a little
predictable for me...especially the ending...in the read I just kept thinking
this would happen...but yet a well written story that will keep you reading
often gasping, laughing and yes,  even  crying toward the end. "My Brother's
Keeper" was true to the storyline...presenting... twins that were ....'good seed,
bad seed and and in the end who would come out of this alive and really be
their brothers keeper. This is where I say, pick up this read you will not be
sorry.

"My Brother's Keeper" was definitely a excellent novel that I would recommend
you to read if you are in for a suspenseful read.

"Miss Nobody" by  Nicole Dunlap was some read with pain, drama, secrets,

Review:

"Hunter" by Cheree Alsop was a well written read.  "Hunter" was the sixth book
of the Silver Series of Dray Dawson who was one some hero in this read.
This hero who thought he was all along meets up with Gem Hawthorne...
then a wild pack of werewolf's show up too and the story really takes the reader on a action packed read, with  many twist and turns.  How will Dray be able to protect his family, friends and the town of 'Thistle?'  Well, this is where I say you must pick up this excellent read "Hunter" to see all the what, where, how and why of it all and meet up with those wonderful wolf protectors ...Jaze, Jet, Kaynan and Vance and that is all I have to say about that other than you must   pick up this read.

The characters were all very well developed that kept me reading  and I didn't put it down until the last word.   What I enjoyed about "Hunter" was every time I thought I knew which way this story was going this author would come in a completely change it directing it totally in another direction.  However, in the end you will be given a story that shows just how this hero will "find the courage to step into the unknown" that will change his life forever.

Would I recommend "Hunter?"... I  will only see YES!
