Book Review Monday- March 29th

Book Review Monday is here again and I am so excited to share three books with you that really make relaxing and enjoying a good book all the better.

These three authors I have all read before and I can't say I was dissapointed. Infact just the opposite. Two of these authors esp surprised and pleased me greatly!

Book Reviewed- Deeper Blue by A. J. Llewellyn

Book Blurb- Tracy Costantino accepts the task of tutoring Marjo, a troubled little girl whose father has rented a house in the remote but picturesque Greek island town of Molivos. But this is no Mediterranean paradise...something strange is going on...

In the shadow of the town’s fabled castle, events start badly with Tracy’s new boss, imperious music composer Benoit Seguin, who is furious to learn his daughter’s new tutor is a man, not a woman. Nevertheless, as an undeniable attraction builds between the two men, Tracy becomes convinced the Seguins’ house is haunted. Some say the ancient legend of the castle’s once-kidnapped princess is coming back to life. Is the threat to little Marjo spectral? Or if it’s real, who would want to abduct her?

Increasingly confused by his tumultuous relationship with Benoit, Tracy fights the urge to flee to the comfort of his life in New York and await the birth of his twin sister’s baby. He’s bonded with Marjo, however, and fears leaving her to the increasing danger from unseen, sinister forces swirling around her. And with Benoit shut away working most of the time, Tracy believes he is the only one who can protect the young girl.

Unwilling to leave, yet rejected by Benoit, Tracy needs to decide if this is what he’s been looking for...if this is his love, love of a different color...a deeper blue...

My Rating- 4/ 5

My thoughts- Okay I will admit I am a great fan of A. J. Llewellyn but still I wouldn’t have expected how different and good Deeper Blue was.

This story was so well written that it actually had me laugh out loud and tear up while enjoying. I felt so connected with the great written characters and complicated plot that I just couldn’t stop reading. And this is a pretty long book!

This will be a re-read book for me, no doubt! This book really showed how fine of a storyteller that the author is.


Book reviewed- Hell hath no fury by Carol Lynne

Book Blurb- Mortals call it Hell, Lucifer calls it The City. It’s a land of good and evil, and Lu is the mayor. He didn’t ask for the job, but someone with some sense needs to keep order, and after going against Archangel Law, Lu knows he must pay the price.

Though his crime may have cost him his Heavenly home, when trouble shows up in The City, his brothers send Lu reinforcement in the guise of a good-looking bodyguard named Dominic Ramos.

Used to having any man he wants, Lu isn’t happy when his charms don’t immediately have the desired effect on Dominic. He sets out to seduce the gorgeous man using every weapon in his arsenal. When a night of unbridled passion culminates in a public coupling, Lu’s feelings on random sex are forever changed.

Who says there aren’t Angels in Hell?

My Rating- 4/ 5

My Thoughts- Oh wow oh wow! This isn’t the type of book that I am used to reading from Carol Lynne and I loved it!

As always she has created a world that jumps out at you from the pages however this deep darker book just screams to be read over and over again.

I am not surprised she could take Hell and Lucifer and make them come alive but the way she did it was a great read.

I look forward to more of this series.



Book Reviewed- Switching Gears by Claire Thompson

Book Blurb- Jack told himself love was for losers, but what he really needed was someone strong enough to show him the truth…

Jack Harris prides himself on being impervious to love. It’s been years since Jack walked away from the traditional leather scene, but he’s always maintained respect and affection for Alexei, the only man he ever trusted completely. Jack is confused by his own anger and restlessness. Alexei says he has the cure … Jack isn’t so sure.

Marcos Savakis has spent years in the scene, training submissives, his heart insulated from the process. At the request of a dying friend, he reluctantly accepts a new charge to train. The man he discovers waiting on his knees is the last person he expected, and the first person to touch his heart.

Publisher's Note: Each book in this series stands alone. It's not necessary to read them in order.

My Rating- 3.75/ 5

My Thoughts- It is hard to find someone who can do BDSM books with as much class as Claire Thompson and this book while short was a great hot read.

I couldn’t have wanted better characters and while this is the first book I have read in this series it was wonderful as a stand-alone.

She created believable likable men that just thinking about makes you hot!


Thanks for stopping by and I hope you have a great week! Happy Reading!
