Blurb: Elder Bodb has walked the earth for over a thousand years. All that time, he’s waited patiently for Fate to bring him his mate. When he travels to the Falias clutch to share sentencing information on one of their former members, he catches just the faintest whiff of something…something intoxicating. His mate is finally near. After discovering the smell originated from the brother of a man mated to a gargoyle, Bodb learns that Nicholas Lindson doesn’t know about the paranormal world. To make matters worse, Nicholas is engaged to some socialite in Texas, and the wedding is only a few weeks away. Bodb discovers that’s not the worst thing, though. Nicholas is the heir to a Texas cattle baron empire, and his father is very involved in his life—overly so. Can Elder Bodb figure out how to not only share that paranormals exist and woo Nicholas, but to extricate his human out from under the father’s domineering hand?

Reviewer: Lisa

Review: Bodb is a very old gargoyle who has been searching for his mate for a very long time. Eleven hundred years he has been on this earth serving his people and as an Elder he has had to do many strange things. This was not one of those times, he was just going to take a small vacation and give Chieftain Maelgwn his news. He had not expected to find his mate but I think he is about to be in more shock then he thought.

Nicholas’s brother is mated to a gargoyle, but our Nick doesn’t have a clue. He is about to get introduced to the paranormal world real fast. He is a human who is a mate to a gargoyle, not what he was expecting. Wonder what he will say to his wife.

I am not really sure where to start with this review. I found myself a bit lost with this one. Our main guy is married to a woman, mated to our sexy gargoyle and living a lie to help his wife. I mean they did go through with the wedding. How the other woman could take it was just off to me. I am sorry but if you love someone you are not going to sit on the burner and take what is given. To me it was all a lie and that is a turn off for me in books. Also it made the females come off as cowards and money hungry, what with wanting her cake and eating it too. Thank god there was no sex between them, what with the females being together. All in the closet so to speak.

Then Nicholas comes off as a very easy going person who is a pushover. He is straight but doesn’t mind a little action from a twink at clubs. He gives in to sex real fast with Bodb and that just didn’t work for me either. You would think he would have been a bit more hell no at first, but nope. Hell he didn’t even bat an eyelash with the paranormal side of it. Bodb goes along with it all which is not what a gargoyle would do but in this book he just caves real fast.

The part about daddy dearest felt like it was just thrown in for a bit more word count.
Charlie has been one of my top five authors of all times, but I hate to say this book did not do it for me. This whole story just was off and didn’t work for me. I hate to say it but this book was definitely not one of my favorites. I just hope the next book comes off a bit easier with not odd ball sections.

Review: A dangerous mission leads to even more questions when Kenneth and Thorn are sent to uncover Iris plans. What they find is a lot more than they could have ever imagined. It was imperative for them to learn everything they could while at the same time keeping under wraps and staying alive.

I loved this story. Mystery, a group with ulterior motives that will stop at nothing to achieve their goals. Amazing scenes that take the breathe away. A great addition to the series.

Awesome read.

Reviewer: Shorty

Review: An amazing horror story that sends shivers through you at the climax of the book. I was stunned speechless at this brilliantly written short. Andrew waited to long to leave a convention. He is traveling to Thornton inn when he starts having car trouble, hearing a voice whispering t him and meets a cute guy on the side of the road.

I honestly would not have done what he had. My first thought would have been what is this young man doing out here in the middle of the night all alone in the darkness. The story takes on a terrifying tone as the revelations come to light when he actually makes it to the inn.

Fantastic read.

Reviewer: Lisa

Review: Each book in A Paranormal’s Love collection features a new romantic couple. To enjoy the overall story arc and crossover characters, I would recommend reading the series in sequential order. This story is branched off into many directions so there is a lot of fun out there.

Mitch is a manwhore basically. He is in love with all women, but not in love to stick around. He has known about paranormal’s for quite sometime and enjoys hanging with them. Most of his friends are gay and he is all good there. However he is not gay but is about to find out that he is mated to a gargoyle. A male gargoyle that just won’t take the answer no.

Kardamon is going to have a hard time getting through to Mitch, even with the help of his friends. He will do everything in his power to prove to him that he is his and it will all be good.

First off I am glad that there was a warning about girly parts in it but no actual sex going on, but I didn’t see the warning till it was too late. Also it seems to me that even though in the end they might get it right, it still seems forced to me. I did not care for Mitch nor his attitude at all. He just rubbed me the wrong way. And completely straight with no sign of being into guys is a sure fire way to make the story not smooth to me. I have always loved this author and her work, but this book just about made me throw in the towel, not the whole series, just this book.

This story came off rushed and rocky in more ways then one. I hate to admit that this particular book just didn’t do anything for me.

Review: Each book in the Wolves of Stone Ridge collection features a new romantic couple. To enjoy the overall story arc and crossover characters, I would recommend reading the series in sequential order. This story is branched off into many directions so there is a lot of fun out there.

Wendell had just wanted to have some fun but he has the worst taste in one night stands. It nearly ends him up dead but he come out of it pretty beaten up. He swears not again, that is until his friend at work’s brother steps in and gives him a ride. Now get your minds out of the gutters, I am talking about a nice car ride, but maybe a bit later for the other kind of ride. Too bad that last one night stand keeps coming around.

Teague is a wolf shifter who has a love of old cars, and damn does he have a nice ride. When his brother Cecil tells him about his friend at work, he just wants to cheer him up and maybe find out who is trying to hurt the little guy. However he has found his mate and will do anything to protect his sweet mate.

I have always been a fan of this author and her stories just keep rocking my day. This one has a sweet tone to it, but some danger that will boil your blood. It moves at the perfect pace for me and is the absolute perfect length to keep my attention. My attention had been caught from the moment I started reading and kept it all the way to the end. You even get some hot and sexy times going on in this book. I was glad to see Jared and Carson are still the same after so long. There are a few laughs going on in here as always, which is a major plus for me.

I had a blast reading this and can’t wait to get my hands on the next book. This is one series that will be read many times over.

Review: Each book in the Council Enforcers collection features a new romantic couple. To enjoy the overall story arc and crossover characters, I would recommend reading the series in
sequential order.

Max and his twin Jessie were rescued from their alpha and were trying to start over in Gillham. Max however wanted to help those who rescued them, he just wasn’t to sure how to go by getting one. Then Kameron gives him a job of answering phones for paranormal’s who need help or just to listen. He had not expected to not only meet his mate, but to be partnered with him.

Dane spent years stuck in a lab and then escaping. Him and his friends had not known the ones who were doing the rescuing were good, so they ran. Now him and his friends were rescued once more by the same group and brought to Gillham. There are many things that need to be fixed and one of them is those who sold Dane.

There is nothing better then a good paranormal romance with two gorgeous men involved. They are entertaining and have just the right mix of feelings in them. There is also quite a bit of danger or excitement in it as well. This one caught my attention and kept it all the way to the very end. I love the mixture of characters that this story and the other ones have in it. Will always keep you entertained.

I love the way this author puts together a story that not only draws you in but keeps you entertained as well. They have a serious tone to them, but there is a bit of humor floating around. I do get a kick out of the whole thing.

I can’t wait to read the next book.

Heart Rating: ♥♥♥♥♥ 5 Hearts

Blurb: How can you trust anyone when you don’t trust yourself?

Xander has been told he’s too big all his life, first by his mother before she left when he was nine, then by everyone else. At six feet eight, he knows that’s true, and it makes for a lonely life when most of the guys he likes are afraid he’ll hurt them. He doesn’t need love, though, and he’s focused on his friends and his job as a council enforcer.

Muirgeh is the leader of the Chardon tribe, and he wants out. He never wanted to rule, but he had no choice when his parents died. He’s retiring, though, or at least he would if he could find someone to take his place. Several tribe members are jockeying for the job, and some of them are going too far, threatening him until he has no choice but to call in the council.

Neither man expected to meet his mate, and they have so much to deal with that their relationship stays on the back burner, at least in the beginning. Between the threats against Muirgeh, his need to find an heir, and Xander’s mother coming back into his life, they’ll have to rely on each other—or lose their chance at a relationship.

Review: Each book in the Council Enforcers collection features a new romantic couple. To enjoy the overall story arc and crossover characters, I would recommend reading the series in sequential order. This story is branched off into many directions so there is a lot of fun out there.

Muirgeh is the leader of his tribe and he hated it. He never wanted it and was stuck doing it for close to twenty years and now he was ready to leave for good. His tribe had at one time been pretty good but now they were like spoiled children, except children were easily taken care of. This tribe was just plain crazy, first women pushing their daughters at him to men wanting them to chose them. However it would seem someone was just pushing to hard, a bit dangerous in his mind, he needed help. He just hadn’t expected the help to be his mate.

Xander is a human enforcer and absolutely loved it. He had an amazing father and some pretty cool friends, but no one to call his own. He was afraid to hurt someone with his size, and when he finds a cute, sexy and very small nix was his mate, well you can guess. To top it off his mother who he hasn’t seen in quite sometimes wants something, well by the time ends he is going to need a shrink.

I would have suggested blowing up the tribe instead of trying to hand it over to his second. A second that didn’t want it any more then he had wanted it. The whole group is just about as nutty as you get and it was time to figure out what the hell to do. This story caught my attention from the moment I started reading it and kept it all the way to the end. It was a more serious toned story then you normally get from this amazing author, but it was still a pretty good read. Action, adventure, hot sexy time, violence and danger are just a bit of what you get with this story.

I had a blast reading it and can’t wait to get my hands on the next book.

Blurb: Robbie has been spending a lot of time with the shifters hiding in the mountain since his best friend Vaughn moved there. That means he’s also been spending a lot of time with Scott, one of the alphas. He likes Scott, but he’s convinced nothing can happen between them. As an alpha, Scott deserves so much better. Besides, with several cases of shifters wanting more rights being brought in front of the Supreme Court, they have other things to focus on.

Scott doesn’t know why Robbie is pushing him away. He can tell it’s not because he doesn’t want him, though, so he decides to push a little. He knows it was the right decision when Robbie starts opening up, and when the construction of the first shifter-human town in the state begins, he volunteers both of them to help.

Robbie and Scott try to live with each other and with the self-esteem issues Robbie’s ex caused when he left him. But not everyone wants shifters to be free, and between the protestors picketing outside the new town and the traitor inside it trying to stop construction, they’re going to have to trust each other, no matter their problems.

Reviewer: Lisa

Review: It is finally coming to an end of the stupid laws against shifters. It is now at the supreme court and although many are still afraid to come out, they are going forward. The man behind getting the law changed was wanting to build a town for shifters and humans, but he needed help getting there.

Robbie’s best friend was dating and living with the shifters but he only sees im everyonce in awhile. There was a certain bear shifter that made him confused but hot. It also didn’t help that when he was going to see him, that goofy bear scared the shit out of him.

Scott was an alpha bear who was falling in love with Robbie. When the question of volunteers was brought up he suggested them both. They were to build the homes and live there, but first he had to get Robbie into it.

I love the mixture of shifters in this series. Bear shifters are quite unique and fun to read about. Although Scott is an alpha he doesn’t really act like it. He is very charming and fun, where as Robbie comes off as a stick in the mud. My problem with this particular book was there was no feeling of chemistry between these two. They just didn’t come off like they should have. Plus the way it flowed was a bit off as well.

Other than those issues it is still a nice book. I can’t wait to see what the next book will be like.

Review: Daymon has been abducted after saving a childs life. He knew in his heart his lover would find him, he was just not sure when. Ryder will do everything in his powers to get the man he loves back.

This story was bizarre to say the least. It was more back story then actual what was happening right then and there, except for the treatment of him. I will admit that I was actually thinking of giving this an lower rating, but that was just me. I didn’t care for this book at all, and hope that the next book is an actual story. For now this book was not my type of story at all.

Review: This is part of the eXtasy Summer Shorts 2018.

It is vacation time for Keenan, Jonah and their four year old daughter. They are going to Gillham to visit old friends and it is about time. Keenan has been working for the childrens services for shifters and it sometimes hurts his heart with how many kids show up. While there a baby shifter has been found and he knows the perfect family for him. Now all he has to do is to get them to agree.

It is short and sweet with a bit of charm added in. I always love it when Keenan or Nysys is in the books although I had not expected this one. It was entertaining as usual and I can’t wait to see what stories this amazing author has out there.

For the record, this story rocked.

Thirty years before, Vincentius Goldstein agreed to join the council with the express intention of bringing their technology into the twenty-first century. After all, he’d had fun hacking into it. He’s done that, and now finds the almost daily meetings and constant infighting stretching his patience. Vincentius prefers the seclusion of his computer room. When he discovers someone hacking into his system, his excitement is stirred for the first time in decades.

After figuring out where the hacker is located, Vincentius sends a council investigator after him. To his shock, when the investigator returns with the hacker, a small guinea fowl shifter named Cho, Vincentius realizes the man is his mate. Even with the mate-pull, Cho fears him. After all, Vincentius had ordered Cho captured and taken away from the safety of his flock and friends.

Can Vincentius figure out how to win the favor of his captive, or will he lose the best thing to happen to him in over three hundred years?

Reviewer: Lisa

Review: Each book in the Shifter Regime collection features a new romantic couple. To enjoy the overall story arc and crossover characters, I would recommend reading the series in sequential order. This story is actually a branch off of several other series, including Wolves of Stone Ridge, Kontra’s Menagerie and A Paranormal Love.

Cho and his fellow flyers were rescued from a lab by some pretty awesome shifters. They were different types of flyers but they were a family. He was the hacker out of the group and sometimes got in trouble. He just hadn’t expected to get kidnapped.

Vincentius was a council member and also a pretty damn good hacker himself. He had not expected to get hacked himself, and was even more shocked by the sexy little man who had hacked him. A sexy shifter who was his mate.

Cho has an innocence about him and always loves to run around naked. He is going to bring fun to this stuffy house and fun was what they needed. This story gives you action, adventure, danger and some hot sexy times. The characters are a blast to read about and just tend to make one smile. This story actually had me laughing in parts of it.

I absolutely loved this book and can’t wait to get my hands on the next book. It gave me everything I could ask for in a book and so much more. It caught my attention from the start and kept it all the way to the end.

I would definitely say this is a story that will be read more than once.

Blurb: Growing up in a coven with only one other shifter around doesn’t allow Arik much of an opportunity to find his mate, and he doesn’t know when or where he’ll find him. When dreams about his mate start interrupting his sleep, he’s content to wait for them to find each other. That is, until he dreams that his mate is in danger.

Alpha War has all but given up on ever finding his true mate. He’s looked for centuries, but so far, no luck. Then when his den starts being attacked by the local coven, all thoughts of finding his mate leave his mind. He only wants to protect his den members like any alpha would.

When an altercation with the coven turns deadly, the last thing War expects is for his mate to appear out of thin air, literally. Arik knew his mate was in trouble so he got his twin to teleport the two of them to the place he’d been dreaming about.
War is happy to have found his mate but can he accept a union with another coven? He already has enough witch problems; will a coven of warlocks be any different? But can he really say no to his fated mate? Is Arik willing to leave his peaceful coven for a den full of chaos?

With problems lurking, babies coming, and warlocks “poofing” in and out at odd times, will War and Arik ever find time alone for sexy times?

War’s Mate is 40,000 words and is book one in the Honey Creek Den Series. Each book contains a fated mate pair, Mpreg, lots and lots of knotting during growly sexy times, babies, no cheating, and a HEA. These bears will do anything their mates ask, just read and see. The Honey Creek Den Series is meant to be read in order even though each book focuses on a different couple. This book is intended for adults only as these shifters tend to get growly and don’t watch their language. .

Reviewer: Shorty

Review: I loved War and Arik. War is the alpha and his mate Arik is a Siberian tiger with a warlock as a father. This is a good thing when the group has trouble with a woman who has powers that rival a witches.

Amid all the chaos that ensues Arik and War grow closer as the two defend their families and community the best they can. The reason for the woman’s chaos was emotional to say the least but to take her anger out on other sifters that did not do anything to her seemed a little much to me and I seriously thought she was nuts.

Great read.

But happily ever afters are sometimes hard to come by. Don’s sins of omission become a barrier between them, and his actions remind London too much of past lovers who have hurt him.

True strength lies not in dominance, but in knowing who you are. If Donavan doesn’t figure that out, and tell London the truth, he just may lose him.

It has been awhile since I read the first book so I missed our guys first meeting. But Donavan has met his mate, a mate that is definitely more dominant then our alpha, plus he is quite a bit bigger. But he has a secret, a secret that he things will make him weak.

London was a fantastic nurse at a hospital till his mother got him fired. Then he went to work somewhere else, gets abducted and ends up surrounded by shifters. However he is a very quirky human, a human that wants to be a mate to a shifter. He is about to get his wish, that is as soon as he figures out what is with Donavan. Things are going to heat up real fast, that is after they get rid of the danger coming at them.

I haven’t had the chance to read many books by this author, and I can say that that will be fixed. There is danger, excitement, adventure, some hot and kinky sex and just a bit more to this story. It caught my attention from the moment I started reading and kept it all the way to the end. I was fascinated by the world this author created, you don’t find many coyote shifters, and if you do they are usually the bad guys.

Now with Donavan, I wasn’t to sure of him because his attitude that came off was of total asshat. However after watching and listening to him, oh and finding out his hidden secret, I could see why. To top it off his mother was one major bitch, and he needs someone to love him. I enjoyed reading this book and I can not wait to get my hands on the next story.

This is one book I would definitely recommend.

Dustin is trying to wrap his head around who or what his new client is.

Review: Winter is accused of murder as well as dealing with the changes he is going through. Dustin is appointed Winter’s attorney and the two do not like each other. They try to put their differences aside for each other as they both struggle with their own issues.

I really liked this story. What’s not to like. Vampires, humans and various other paranormal creatures are introduced. The story was going along great. Tense passion, mystery and a whole slew of other things then all of a sudden the two decide they like each other with no warning.

Umm, what happened? Aside from that I really did enjoy the story.

I am looking forward to seeing what else happens in this series.

Reviewer: Shorty

Review: A cute, sweet story of two men who come together despite the obstacles they face. I loved Ronnie and Officer Andy. Though the reason Andy is there to begin with was heartbreaking. Thugs throwing homophobic slurs is no way to enjoy ones day.

These guys are hot together.

I loved how well the story flowed and seemed endless though it is a short read.

Review: This is part of the eXtasy Books 2018 Summer Shorts.

Sekani has always been one of my favorite guys in Charlie’s books. His beloved has to make a conference call so Sekani is going to fly around in his bat form. He really should have stayed home, less dangerous. Skunks sure do smell.

I always get a crack out of these stories. They are funny as hell and sometimes exciting. This one just gives you the right amount of tasty goodness. I can’t wait to get my hands on the next book in this series.

Blurb: The last thing Dorran expected when he moved out of his old apartment was to find a dead body in the new one. John Mitchell was a despicable man, from what Dorran learns, but no one deserves to have their head bashed in. Dorran supposed he should be grateful for what happened, if anything because one of the detectives on the case is his ex-boyfriend—the one he dumped ten years ago because he didn’t want to come out of the closet.

Things are never easy for Dorran, though, and he has to deal with nosy neighbors, his angry ex, and…a ghost? He really didn’t mean to stick his nose in the investigation, but it’s not his fault everyone seems to prefer talking to him instead of the cops, even when he really would rather not listen. And it’s also not his fault that the dead guy seems to have killed his uncle—and that the uncle still haunts the apartment. If only his ex could understand that. Dorran wants a second chance with Eli, but Eli seems to think Dorran is sticking his nose into things on purpose.

Will Dorran manage to convince Eli he didn’t mean to get involved? Will he find out who killed John Mitchell before that person decides to take out someone else? He knows he should, because with his luck, that next person is going to be him.

Review: I wonder how it feels to get smacked on the ass by a ghost. I bet that Dorran never once thought that when he moved into his new apartment. Although when he started to move in several problems showed up. One his apartment was still full of the dead guys stuff and then he found a dead body in the storage area, so ghost were no big deal. The big deal was the detective to show up, you guessed it, his ex-boyfriend.

Eli had been angry at first when he saw the man he had loved once, but got dumped by also. He knew from past experience that Dorran also would not stop trying to figure out what happened to the dead guy either. Sparks are about to show up.

The ghost was a great idea for this book. I got a kick out of Dorran and the ghost. Eli was a little harder to like but then again he comes off a bit gruff, with good reason though. Very quirky story that kept my attention to the very end. I got a kick out the whole book. It was exciting, fascinating, dangerous and some hot sexy time. It gave me everything I could want in a story and so much more.

I had a blast reading this and can’t wait to get my hands on the next book. I would definitely recommend this book.

Blurb: The right thing to do isn’t always the one we convince ourselves of.

Aiden has done his best to stay away from Lewis since that day fifteen years before when he foolishly kissed him. Lewis is Aiden’s brother’s best friend, almost another brother, so it hasn’t been easy for Aiden, but it’s for the best. Aiden’s secret half-demon status isn’t something Lewis can accept, and Aiden never wants to see disgust or fear in his eyes.

Lewis never understood why Aiden kissed him and ran away when they were teenagers, but he accepted they would never be more than acquaintances years before. That’s why he’s surprised when he opens his door one night and finds Aiden on the other side of it. Something has happened to him, and he ends up spending the night at Lewis’ place, disappearing before Lewis wakes up the next morning.

Circumstances keep throwing Aiden and Lewis together, though. Someone is stalking Lewis, and his life is in danger. Can Aiden risk sharing who he really is and keep Lewis safe at the same time? And if he does tell Lewis what he’s hiding, will their new relationship fall apart when they most need it?

Review: Each book in the Demons Hearts collection features a new romantic couple. To enjoy the overall story arc and crossover characters, I would recommend reading the series in sequential order.

I came across this author a short time ago when she came out with her first story and was amazed by the worlds she creates. The characters are fully developed and they make me feel like I am right there with them. you can see their feelings, their compassion, their faith, their loyalty and their love for each other. The way Catherine puts her words together makes it feel like you are right there fighting with them and for them. It is a fast paced story that will fascinate you and keep you entertained.

When Lewis was younger his mother had been attacked by a demon and scared him. They escaped but it left him not trusting them at all. Lewis had basically grew up with aiden and Chase. When they were in their teens Lewis had kissed him, then ran. They just kept it at friendship but damn Chase wanted more. Now fifteen years later, he might just get his wish. That is after they find out who was stalking Lewis.

Aiden’s mother had been raped by a nasty demon, which gave her Aiden. His mother loved him even after how he was conceived. She loved them all, and when someone came to their friendship, she added them into the family. He fell in love with Lewis so many years ago, but he feared what would happen, if Lewis found out he was half demon. But he could wait first they needed to find out who wanted Lewis and who was also after Aiden.

This is one of those stories that will be read more than once. I enjoyed reading it and can not wait to get my hands on the next book. I would definitely recommend it.

Working with dozens of other marine shifters at World of Aquatica finally brings him close to others that are sort of his kind–they’re shifters, anyway. He works security, seeing as he can’t be in an exhibit because, technically, his kind are supposed to be extinct. When he spots a skinny human shoplifting, he catches him…and realizes the man–Braylon–is his mate. Tyrone convinces his bross and alpha not to call the police. Instead, they give Braylon hours cleaning the park as a sort of community service. During that time, Tyrone has to go about doing something he hasn’t had to do in over four hundred years of life. Can he figure out how to woo a human so very different than himself?

Braylon is a rich kid with lousy taste in friends. The one time he listens and it ends him up in big trouble. Although the punishment is not so bad, the guy who is supervising him is a walking wet dream. Lets see if he thinks that once he figures out what Tyrone is.

I have followed this author for quite some time, her series always are very fascinating and unique. So when this new series comes out, I knew I just had to grab it. You don’t see many aquatic animals in stories, so for me it just made it rock even more. I do wish they had a bit more to them though.

Charlie Richards has done it again, given me a story that just rocked my world. I would definitely recommend this book.

Review: Each book in the Council Enforcers collection features a new romantic couple. To enjoy the overall story arc and crossover characters, I would recommend reading the series in sequential order.

Jordan clean’s school buildings while his brother leads a life of crime. It is not a world either truly wanted, but their father and grandfather were the ones who pushed them into it. Freddy had decided he would do it, so that Jordan was free and clear. That didn’t mean someone out there didn’t want to take out Freddy by way of Jordan. Jordan runs like his brother suggested, but damn if he is going to leave him behind. Just his luck he finds his mate, a mate that just so happens to be a council enforcer.

Angelo had met his mate so many years before only to be rejected for a woman. In the times past, their relationship would have never been allowed so it was easier for his mate to say no. He was now a council enforcer in Gillham, but damn he wanted what those around him had. To his surprise he gets his wish, when a pink flamingo just lands in his bushes.

There is nothing better then a good paranormal romance with two gorgeous men involved. They are entertaining and have just the right mix of feelings in them. There is also quite a bit of danger or excitement in it as well. This one caught my attention and kept it all the way to the very end. I love the mixture of characters that this story and the other ones have in it. Will always keep you entertained.

I love the way this author puts together a story that not only draws you in but keeps you entertained as well. They have a serious tone to them, but there is a bit of humor floating around. I do get a kick out of the whole thing. I can’t wait to read the next book.
