I wasn't sure what I was going to get when I started to read - though I was good to read about my home town Sydney and knowing about most of the places she written about.

Miranda is a working girl, a high class escort, pleasuring the rich, famous and not so famous of Sydney, and yes, even though sex and the lifestyle are a big part of the story, it is not all it is about.

I loved the diversity of the 3 main men in Miranda's life - the underground figure Joe, the nice guy Tom and her gay best friend Charlie. I would really have liked to have read more about Charlie!

We get to see the other side of Miranda, the normal, regular girl doing the mundane things in life like the groceries!

I felt that the story was a little slow to get going - the first quarter felt a little dragged out - but the ending a little rushed, all wrapping up nicely in the last couple of chapters.

I am looking forward to reading the next 2 books i the series!

4.5 stars

The storyline of Breaking The Rules runs parallel to Bent (Julia and Micah's story), and it is good to get more of the background of their story and relationship.

Carly and Julia were best friends in highschool, and were the two girls in their class who couldn't wait to leave small town Wisconsin for bigger and better things. Adam is Julia's annoying younger brother who has always had a thing for Carly.

A chance encounter brings them together, and from their friendship grows something stronger than either of them ever thought.


What I like about HB Heinzer's characters is that they are not perfect, they have their flaws. Carly is damaged, thinks she is not enough for Adam. Adam is not the "alpha" that we get in so many other books these days - not saying he isn't hot - he is - but he is not the super perfect guy. He has is kookier side (turning up dressed to impress, wearing green Chucks!)

I laughed, I teared up, I got frustrated beyond all belief (hello, these people are in their 30's, why were they so worried about another 30 year old's feelings when it was coming between them grr grr!!)


Can Carly and Adam overcome the hurdles and have their HEA?

You will have to read it to find out!!!

I enjoyed this more than I did Bent, and I look forward to more in the Back to Brooklyn series

Thank you Brooke for the ARC for honest review.

Southern drawl - check. Hot body - check. Tattooed - check. Piercing - check!

I read this in one sitting, it got me right in.

There was that spark for Eric Reilley the first time he met Velaney Wills - not under the best of circumstances.

Velaney has suffered in her life, and still lives in fear that her past will come back to get her.

She keeps Eric at arms length thinking it is for his own good. Can Eric break down the walls that Velaney has built up around her heart?

Spark was well written, the story was interesting and kept me wondering what would happen next. There were a couple of twists and turns that kept me interested right to the end.

But beware - cliffhanger!!

I am looking forward to reading Burn

4.5 stars.

I am not a huge paranormal reader - I do read it, but not in large quantaties, but I could not put King Hall down.

Yes it does have the paranormal (shifters, mages, elementals, vampires), but I felt it was more a story of friendships and the relationships forged through difficult circumastances.

The relationships with the 4 main characters, Lily, Ezra, Pearl and Jack were tangible. People who shouldn't normally be friends who become closer than they ever thought possible.

The Kings are hilarious - I lol'd many a times with thair antics, but also wanted to shake them at times.

This is Scarlett Dawn's first novel, and it is so well written would never have thought it was.

I look forward to reading more of her work.
