Title: Nightingale
Series: Reed Security Series #24
Author: Giulia Lagomarsino
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Release Date: June 15, 2020

“What a ride Nightingale was! Giulia Lagomarsino really upped their emotions with Florrie and Alec’s story.” ~The Art of Reading


“WOW! What a roller-coaster ride this book was! Incredible! So many ups and downs and emotion. An entertaining addition to the series!” ~Goodreads Review (Jennifer)

Florrie

 

I don’t do well with emotions and yucky love stuff. I do the best I can, but at the end of the day, I’m better at showing someone I love them by fighting for them. That’s the way I’ve always been and how I’ll always be. And I have one helluva fight ahead of me. I’ll do anything for the people I love, but what I didn’t expect was to be fighting the one person I thought would always be on my side. I don’t know if I can ever forgive him for this or if we can ever move forward. Some betrayals are just unforgivable. 
 
 
Alec
Life is going great. I have the woman I love by my side and a kid that is quickly becoming a huge part of my life. What can go wrong? Then it happens. One phone call changes my world in such a profound way that I’m not sure anything will ever be the same again. I risk losing it all with my decisions, but I have to stand up for what I believe is right. I just hope that when the dust settles, I still have someone on my side.

I’m a stay at home mom that loves to read. Some of my favorite titles are Pride and Prejudice, Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, and Horatio Hornblower. I started writing when I was trying to come up with suggestions on ways I could help bring in some extra money. I came up with the idea that I could donate plasma because you could earn an extra $500/month. My husband responded with, “No. Find something else. Write a blog. Write a book.” I didn’t think I had anything to share on blog that a thousand other mothers hadn’t already thought of. I decided to take his challenge seriously and sat down to write my first book, Jack. I was surprised at how much I enjoyed writing. From there, the stories continued to flow and I haven’t been able to stop. I hope my readers enjoy my books as much as I enjoy writing them. Between reading, writing, and taking care of three small kids, my days are quite full.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5 out of 5

Holy Cow!! I won’t say that both of them made me angry, but boy Nightingale sure did.

Florrie is a team member of Reed Security. She is tough, strong, and independent. She’s also selfish, bullheaded, and single minded, in my opinion. She and her teammate Alec hid their relationship for three years before they made it official and let the rest of Reed Security know that they were a couple. Of course, Craig, their other team member figured it out sooner than the rest, by pure coincidence.

Alec is the lead for Team 5 of Reed Security. He makes a lot of decisions for the team when they are in the field. The only problem is that he has a hard time shutting that off when they are home and he doesn’t discuss things with Florrie and Craig, which causes a lot of problems. He wants to protect Florrie and she is so independent that she has a hard time letting him take care of her.

Reid is a young boy that left a bad situation at his stepfather’s house. He ended up on the streets and ran into Florrie and Alec one night and instead of turning him over to the authorities, they took him in and cared for him. He’s a young teen and has found a home where he feels safe and loved. When his temporary custody comes into jeopardy it causes all kinds of issues with Reed Security.

These two are both strong willed and pig headed, but Florrie really made me angry through this book. She couldn’t see anything besides her own thoughts and feelings. She was determined to do what was needed, but she didn’t stop to think of the repercussions. I enjoyed the story, the tensions, the characters, the comedic relief, and the overall story of this book. While I was angry a lot with Florrie, I could understand her devastation, but not her actions and treatment of Alec. I love the character in this series, and I devour these books, but this one had me wanting to throat punch Florrie most of the time. Her actions and words were hurtful and destructive. I felt that Alec deserved better than what she was giving him. I give this story a 5-star review and look forward to more of the Reed Security Series. I would love to see stories of the kids as they grow up, especially and Reid and Caitlyn. If you like stories with Alpha males, strong women, security details, and crazy families, you will love this series, and you should one-click it right away.

Drew

 

Drew Walker

My life changed the day my daughter was shoved into the back of a van on the orders of a man I considered my brother.

It’s never going to be the same again.
I’m never going to be the same again.

But I’m being given another chance to do everything right this time.

And I’ll be damned if I screw it up.

My Review:

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5 out of 5

He needs to forgive himself and learn to move on, but, how can he?

Drew can’t seem to get over that his daughter was kidnapped and the destruction of his MC and the fear of losing everything he holds dear. He needs to come to terms with what happened, and that Justice is home, alive, and fighting to move on with her life.

I have enjoyed these shorts and this story did not disappoint. Drew is a man who loves his family deeply and is destroyed that an MC brother betrayed not only him but the entire MC and hurt his little girl. Now he’s afraid he’s going to lose everything. Hearing Drew’s point of view on the abduction of Justice and the aftermath is heartbreaking. He’s a good father, husband, and loyal brother to the MC. I give this short a 5-star review and suggest that you read Heaven Hill Next Generation before you pick up the shorts, but you won’t be disappointed. Ms. Briscoe does a great job with some hard situations and you can’t help but love the characters of Heaven Hills or any of her other books.

Review of Under Your Skin by Rose McClelland @RoseMcClelland1 @rosieamber1

/ The Sassy Redhead Book Reviews / 1 Comment

Front cover paperback

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️✨ 4.5 out of 5

Psychological thriller that will have you wondering what’s going on, and who you can trust.

Kyle is angry that the police won’t do anything to find his missing wife. She didn’t come home from work and he has no idea where she could be. The police won’t help because she hasn’t been missing long enough to begin a search. Kyle will organize a search and things get more questionable at the end of the day.

Hannah is surprised that Kyle is interested in her. She just started this job and she’s quiet and shy. Kyle and Hannah have a good relationship until after they get married. Hannah isn’t sure what caused the change, but she’s wary of everything now and walks on eggshells.

I enjoyed this book, but I found that there were some gaps as to what was happening and how things progressed. The story is told mostly in the female character perspective. Only the first chapter is in Kyle’s perspective. Which I found interesting and different. I loved the plot and the way that the story was done in the sense that it kept me wondering what was going on, where Hannah was, how she got to where she was, was she being mistreated, was she in danger, and how things would turn out. I love a mystery in a story like this, and the way that the story kept my mind working while reading the story. I enjoy the guessing of a story to figure out the who, what, when, or why, but I want the challenge of multiple characters to have to think about, not being able to figure it out right away and this story definitely challenged my brain. I give this book a 4.5-star review and if you like psychological thrillers, the mystery of figuring out the bad guy, and strong women characters, this book is a perfect choice.

ARC Review of Rios (Perdition MC Shifters Book 2) by BE Kelly

/ The Sassy Redhead Book Reviews / Leave a comment

Rios Cover

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5 out of 5

Intense, unpredictable, and protective.

Santiago Rios “Rios” is the Alpha of the Perdition MC, a wolf pack shifters MC. He has a lot on his shoulders since he was not groomed to become the Alpha of the pack, that was to be his brother, Trace. Rios took over the Alpha position because his brother wanted a different path in life and has done a good job of protecting his pack and being the Alpha. When he decided to bring a peace offering to Trace in the form of a young woman who is a seer and a shifter, his plans changed as soon as he first set eyes on Aylen Nez, and after he scented her. This caused more problems with his older brother and there doesn’t seem to be any relief from their tension in the near future.

Aylen Nez is the youngest of the Nez family. She realized she had a different path in life as a teen and was scared to death that her family would reject her when they found out her secret. Now that Rios has taken an interest in her, her secret is about to come to light, and she will have to deal with the fall out of it with her family. Little does she know that her secret and Rios’ interest in her has put her in the crosshairs of the Hunters, and in danger. She will need to learn to trust in herself as well as her new life if she is to survive.

I have been enjoying the Seer series as well as the Perdition MC series. I have found the characters to be entertaining, intense, unpredictable, and very protective of those they care about. These shifters are wolves, so they are very protective, and they work very well as a pack to keep their pack safe. The Hunters are getting too close to the pack though and the Perdition MC will need to proceed very carefully and be alert to everything and everyone that they interact with. The need to protect is strong and these sexy men will put their lives on the line to keep their mate or their family safe. I give this story a 5-star review and cannot wait for Trace’s story to come out. I have been looking forward to his story, he’s a brooding, moody, man that needs to find a mate that will bring out the wolf he is keeping locked up.

Release and Review: Heart Thief (Sinister Fairy Tales Collection) by Ker Dukey @kerdukeyauthor @EJBookPromos

Title: Heart Thief
Series: Sinister Fairy Tales Collection
Author: Ker Dukey
Genre: Dark Fairy Tale Retelling
Release Date: June 8, 2020

 

Monsters come in many forms.
Some want shiny new toys to play with—others want blood.
Mona Walters dreams of adventure, of a world beyond the shoreline she’s confined to. She yearns for vibrancy in her dull, mundane existence, but succumbs to the bleakness.
Until the necklace her sister wore the night she was brutally murdered shows up on her door wrapped in a neat bow, fueling her to run away and seek out the person responsible for stealing her sister’s life.
Mona wished for more—for color in her gray world.
What she didn’t realize was just how much more she would get.
And that the world outside her own was soaked in red—blood red.
The world she dreamed of is made of nightmares.
A rich, influential world of two brothers—and once they have her in their sights, they plan to keep her there.
Her father kept her secluded for a reason.
Be careful what you wish for.
There’s a thief out there, and he’s coming for Mona’s heart.

Cold burrows into my marrow. My self-preservation to seek out warmth has my feet inching toward a roaring fire in a grand room lavished with furniture and rugs. This place is huge, like nothing I’ve ever seen before. We live a minimal life with only the true essentials. Everything else is considered an indulgence, and that’s sinful. Apparently. 

A graze scorching with pain to my knee makes me wince, the torn material of my dress rubbing against the broken skin. “Hello?” I call out, inching closer and closer to the roaring orange glow of the fire. Shadows dance down the walls as footfalls sound just outside the room I was deposited inside by the man who said he was security. 

“Look what the tide washed in,” a deep rumble booms across the room. 

My hand wraps around my waist to ease the nerves. 

“This is private property. Do you want to tell me what it is you’re doing docking here?” The voice steps into the light, stealing my breath. 

He looks like a man from the stories Clara used to tell me at night when I couldn’t sleep. Dark probing eyes seek me out, making a quiver of excitement and fear ripple through my body. Powerful arms fold across a broad chest covered in clothes I’m not used to: formal wear, a suit. 

He has a confidence about him that commands the space he’s dominating with his size. He’s taller than me by a comfortable foot and a half. As he edges closer, the urge to run away sends a rush of energy to my legs. “Do you speak?” He narrows his dark orbs on me, bringing a hand up to loosen a tie around his neck. 

Moving toward a table set out with bottles full of liquids, he asks, “Drink?”

The dryness of my throat aches. A longing to quench a thirst I hadn’t realized I had has me nodding and pushing a meek, “Yes, please,” past my lips. 

The quirk of his lips doesn’t go unnoticed as he pours amber liquid into two glasses and hands me one. His fingers brush mine as I accept the offering, sending a spark over my skin. My eyes fixate on the contents of the glass. There are two mouthfuls at most. Maybe he can’t spare more. I smile a thank you and lift the glass, taking a sip. 

A harsh burn explodes over my tongue, making me gag. “Oh God, what is that?” I choke out, holding the glass out to give it back to him. A harsh laugh barks from his lips, making my stomach dip. 

“You’re one of them, aren’t you?” He steps toward me, closing in around me like a predator would prey. I shuffle back, bumping my hip against a couch. 

“One of who?” I frown. 

“Cult Island.” He scoffs, snatching the glass from me and throwing the contents into the fire. It hisses and snaps, flames jumping out in retaliation. “I should have guessed by what you’re wearing.” He smirks, his eyes lazily roaming down my body, making a blush bloom on my cheeks.

My Review:

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️✨ 4.5 out of 5

She doesn’t believe her father’s preaching and she wants to live her life on her terms. That means she has to sneak away and find a way to get off the Island that she was born and raised on. Just because he believes what he is saying and others follow his lead, does not mean that his teachings are right or just.

Mona is a young girl who has a dark side, even though her father is the leader and minister of their group on the Island. His teachings have been tough and cruel, and Mona does not believe any of his teachings. Her and her older sister, Clara, dream of a life away from the Island, but their father has always told them that the world outside the Island was dark and dangerous.

Clara manages to escape and find happiness, but it is not what she was hoping for. She is taken in by the Ward brothers who are wealthy twins. They have a history with the Island that she comes from and their reactions to her are different.

I really enjoyed this story, it has the right amount of darkness, danger, and twisted characters that have you wondering if they are who they portray themselves to be. This story is dark, twisted, and very steamy. Mona is not as naïve as the Ward brothers believe she is. She is naïve when it comes to the outside world, but she is a quick learner and finds herself where she wants to be, which is free from her father and his demented teachings. There are a lot of twists in this story and the danger and unexpected turns pulled me in and held me until the end of the book. I give this story a 4.5-star review and suggest it readers who are interested in dark romance, retellings of fairy tales, and women who are not afraid to reach for what they want and take no prisoners in the process.

My Review:

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️✨ 4.5 out of 5

A second chance story. Corruption and tragedy almost destroyed them.

Teresa is an assistant baseball coach at the local high school as well as a teacher and head of the History Department. She loves her job and coaching. Has been through a lot in the past year and has kept most of it to herself, but she has shared some with her closest friend, the head coach of the baseball team, Noah and his wife Julie. She hasn’t even told her parents some of the story or the latest development, but when she attends a party for a local star athlete that was drafted to the NFL, she runs into her high school flame that walked away from her.

Finn doesn’t come home often and when he does, he certainly does not socialize with the locals. Too much happened when he was in high school and he wants to avoid the talk and whispers that he is sure will still go on behind his back. Finn walked away from Teresa after he graduate high school, but he has never forgotten her or gotten over her.

These two had so much unfinished business and they both have so many hurdles to overcome and find their way back to each other. Neither one stopped living the other, even after 14 years their feelings are still strong, and their connection is still there. This is a story of a couple of kids who thought they would be together forever, their love was so strong when they were young, but extenuating circumstances changed their future, now that they have reconnected they both need to overcome the troubles in their lives to be able to move on and find the future they both dreamed of. I loved this story and give it a 4.5-star review. If you are a fan of second chance romance, stories with characters that are strong, hurt, and yet they carry on with their lives until they find someone to help them put the pieces of their heart back together and gain strength from that connection, then you will enjoy this story. This was my first read of the A Change of Heart books, but I did enjoy it and I look forward to reading the back stories and any future books that come out as well.

My Review:

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5 out of 5

Will his family ever see him as more than the kid that lost his scholarship?

Cutter is hiding a lot of emotions and he is trying to find his way through this life.

Cutter Thompson has a past that he can’t seem to outrun but is it only from himself or his loved ones too. Do they still see him as a screw up? When the LSERT is looking for volunteers to go help with the hurricane that is threatening the southern states, Cutter decides to go. He has nothing stopping him from leaving so he may as well go help out where he can. The only thing is that Cutter is not prepared for this trip at all. Not what he will see or how his life will change after this help and rescue mission.

Rowan Baker is just surviving, she’s not living her life. After a devastating tragedy four years ago, she seems to be stuck in her life. When she meets Cutter during the hurricane, her life seems to be brighter. It’s too bad that he lives in Laurel Hill and she lives in Paradise Lost. Their chemistry has them both feeling like life is good and that they can overcome their pasts and find a way to move on.

I really enjoyed this story. It was tragic, scary, and a beautiful story of two people finding a way to move on from their pasts and find their HEA. The characters in Ms. Briscoe’s LSERT series are always great to read and Cutter’s story did not disappoint. They are loyal to each other, kind, and are always willing to do what is needed to make sure that their families are safe and taken care of. These characters are not all family by blood, but they are also family by choice, and it makes for a great tight knit community in Laurel Hills. They keep their community safe and they are always willing to help outside of their own community as well. The devastation and danger that Cutter see’s while in Paradise Lost helps him find his true self and the strength that is hidden deep within himself, as does Rowan. She feels that she is broken and damaged, but she is actually a strong woman who has been dealt a huge blow, but Cutter will show her the path to happiness. He’s so gentle and patient with her, but he is also a force to be reckoned with when needed. I loved this story and give it a 5-star review. I look forward to more of the LSERT family.

London is on a mission to see where her parents lived before moving to America. She was named for their home and where they met in college. Since she is alone and an orphan, now she wants to visit London to see it for herself. She’s been saving and has finally taken the leap to visit. Will it become her new home?

Quinn Page works is a London cop who went against policy and showed a suspect that he did not appreciate the way the man treated his girlfriend. Scotland Yard has decided to make an example of Quinn for breaking policy and suspend him for a week. Quinn thinks it’s the worst week of his life until he almost runs over a tourist while on his way to get dinner and home.

I really enjoyed this quick read. It was fun, sweet, and entertaining. The characters were great and had chemistry. London is a bit quirky and has minimal filter when she talks, and Quinn finds it refreshing to have her say what’s on her mind. Most people who meet London don’t find that part of her endearing, but she is who she is and doesn’t make excuses. She’s a woman who wanted to explore England and made it happen. Quinn is a police officer and a man who spends most of his time working. When he offers to be London’s tour guide to show her the sights of England, he sees it through her eyes and his instantly taken with her wonder and beauty. I give this story a 4-star review and suggest it to readers who are looking for a fun, quick read.

Review of Nolan: A Dark Irish Mafia Romance (Dangerous Doms) by Jane Henry

/ The Sassy Redhead Book Reviews / Leave a comment

Nolan

She’s my nemesis.
My prisoner.
I’ll make her beg for mercy.
I’ll make her scream my name.
I’ll make her mine.

Sheena Hurston’s been a thorn in my side for years.
But when she tries to bring my family to ruin, I’m done playing games.
She will pay for what she’s done.
No one comes before my family.

Sheena belongs to me.

Please note: this is a dark romance and includes elements of dubious consent, violence, and kink.

My Review:

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️✨ 4.5 out of 5

He’s the youngest son of the McCarthy Clan. He was a disappointment for years, with his partying and drinking. He went to rehab and cleaned up his life. Unfortunately, his father didn’t get to meet the reformed Nolan. Now he’s the third in line to run The Clan and he is gaining the respect he deserves. When he’s tasked with getting information from a reporter that is trying to destroy The Clan his world will get turned upside down. He has no idea what’s in store for him and how his life will change, but he knows that when his brother, Keenan, the head of The Clan tells him to get answers, he better do it.

Sheena is a woman on a vendetta and her goal is to bring down the family that killed her father. She’s a reporter who is using her job to help her bring them down. She will to all lengths to get the information she wants. Her main goal besides the vendetta is to take care of her younger siblings since their mother won’t do it and puts them in more danger than they should be in. When Nolan McCarthy takes her to The Clan mansion she thinks that she is in control of what will happen and that she will be able to walk away with no problem, but when problems beyond her control come to light and the truth comes out, will she walk away or stay.

I really enjoyed Sheena and Nolan’s story. There is heat, danger, and the chance for the both of them to show their real selves. Sheena does not come from the same world and Nolan and she is ashamed of where she does come from, but Nolan doesn’t show any contempt for that towards Sheena, he is only interested in stopping her from ruining his family. When the truth about everything comes out, there is more danger, but these two will have to put their trust into each other so they can survive and live their lives. If you like stories of women who act tough and are willing to sacrifice things for those they love, Mafia, Doms, or stories of family, then you will enjoy Nolan. I loved it and I give it a 4.5-star review. I look forward to more with these characters. I love the way the men of The Clan are with each other; they are family by choice as well as blood.

Fender… 
 
One night. That’s all it takes for a person’s life to forever be changed. One chaotic, unexpected, inevitable night and hundreds of bullets, two of them hitting my parents. I was born to be a Soulless King, born with sworn enemies and a loyal streak. Like a phoenix, I rise from the ash and vow to bring hell upon those responsible. 
 
The problem with my vow is I’m not sure who is to blame. They tell me it’s the temptress with emerald eyes, the one who used to share my bed. How can I be sure since she left without giving me the chance to find out the truth?
 
Now that she’s back, she won’t get away before I ask my questions. But what if I don’t like the answers?
 
 
Charlie…
 
As the princess of the Black Savages, I was raised to believe one thing: my club is my family, no matter what. But when they are responsible for shattering the life I created, I do the only thing I can. I run. 
 
The thing about running is I can’t do it forever. Life, past transgressions, tragedy… they hunt me down and drag me back, shoving me into the deep end of fate. And fate is a fickle bitch. 
 
 
What if my fate is with him, the president of the Black Savages’ sworn enemy?

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5 out of 5

They were born and raised in an MC, her an MC Princess, but they are from MC’s that are at war with each other. How can they ever make a relationship work? One tragic night, everything they had is ripped away from them and now they are both just walking through life, but not living.

Fender and Charlotte “Charlie” met as young teens, although they are both from the MC world, they are from two different MC’s and they aren’t exactly friendly with each other. When there is an attack on the Soulless Kings MC club house and loss of members from both MC’s, the Soulless Kings are devastated, and Fender is frozen in his spot. When Charlie comes out of Fender’s room to see what’s going on and helps, Fender’s best friend and another brother turn on Charlie and blame her for the attack. Fender is too shocked to do anything and questions everything. He not only lost family that day, he lost his whole world. Will he ever recover? Will he ever find anyone to share his life with? He has so many questions and so much hate that he’s become hard and dangerous.

Charlie is so devastated that Fender didn’t defend her that when she is told to leave the club house, she walks out the door and keeps going. She even leaves her own MC family and go across the country to try to find a life away from the death and destruction. When her father dies from natural causes, she returns home to honor her father and her family. The trouble is that there are so many in her own MC family that has turned on her and don’t want her back. They believe she’s a traitor. Her father was the President of the Black Savages, so she’s an MC princess, but she wants nothing to do with that title or the life since she lost her soulmate four years ago due to the carnage that showed up in his MC club house.

I love Andi Rhodes and her writing.I have read one of Nicole Cypher’s books in the past, and this book did not disappoint. With the combination of these writers came a story with so many feels. The devastation at the beginning, the turmoil upon Charlie’s return, the indecisiveness of the true culprits of the attack, the reason coming to light, and the actions of Fender, his brothers, and the Black Savages, had me hanging on the edge of each page to finish the book, but I was not ready for it to be done. I love the characters, the story, and the whole package. I was crying, cringing, and rooting for Fender and Charlie to find their way back to each other. I give this story a 5-star review and cannot wait for more with the Soulless Kings MC. I hope there are more to come soon.
