Blurb:

Crown of Ash and Oath follows King Pawelinus of Reopheral and Queen Yvaine of Echuqurian after war strips them of every easy option.


Gaivaria isn’t a single enemy you can bargain with or kill; it’s an empire—structured, patient, and built to absorb smaller kingdoms through armies, bureaucracy, and influence that reaches as far as ink and coin can travel.


With the Gaivarian Army pushing in from the borders and working quietly inside their courts, King Pawelinus and Queen Yvaine are forced into an alliance that can’t be made public without them becoming a target.


They trade intelligence, coordinate disruptions, and make decisions that have to look routine to everyone watching. Every move has to hold up under scrutiny, because the empire won’t need a battlefield victory if it can turn their systems against them.


Their pact begins as strategy, but it doesn’t stay there. Under pressure, trust stops being theoretical, and proximity turns into something neither of them can dismiss.


King Pawelinus learns that Queen Yvaine’s control isn’t coldness—it’s survival.


Queen Yvaine learns that the King’s discipline isn’t pride—it’s an oath he means to keep.


As crowns replace titles and losses turn to ash, their partnership becomes the one thing those in control of Gaivaria can’t easily predict: two rulers choosing each other as deliberately as they choose resistance.


The romance isn’t a distraction from the war.


It’s part of what makes them dangerous.

Blurb:

Small towns aren’t meant for billionaire movie stars, but somehow, Sutton Silvers fits right in. I know I should ignore him, the diner regular with his easy charm and quiet intensity. He belongs to another world, one of flashing cameras, billion-dollar contracts, and fake Hollywood smiles. I belong here, in the safety of routine. In the safety of Whispers.

But Sutton sees through the walls I’ve built, through the secret past I keep hidden. He should walk away, just like I should guard my heart. But there’s something about him, the way he looks at me like I’m worth the risk, that has me wanting more.

I know better than to dream of a future with a man like him. And yet, when danger starts creeping closer, he’s the one stepping in, refusing to let me face it alone. He has a choice to leave Hollywood behind or risk it all for the chance that I’m his forever.

And me? I have a choice too.

Run again. Or finally let someone catch me.

The Billionaire Of Whispers series has reached its fourth book, and I am completely captivated by the world Samantha has crafted. This installment focuses on Sutton and Nikki, also known as Charlotte. From the opening chapters, it was evident that this story would be a favorite, and it did not disappoint. Filled with emotion, mystery, suspense, beautiful friendships, healing, and love, the narrative effortlessly draws readers in. The author skillfully develops characters that are easy to fall in love with, especially those who offer unwavering support and protection to Sutton and Nikki. Sutton and Nikki's story resonates deeply, particularly for those who appreciate quirky, nerdy characters like Nikki. Her penchant for sharing random facts adds a delightful touch to the narrative. Nikki's intelligence, protectiveness, and willingness to make sacrifices for her loved ones make her a compelling character. Sutton, a renowned movie star, defies initial assumptions as we get to know him in Whisper. Despite his celebrity status, Sutton craves privacy and autonomy, making his own choices and decisions. His kindness, compassion, and love for a family in need reveal a different side of him that is easy to admire. The challenges faced by Sutton and Nikki are formidable, but their undeniable chemistry and connection drive them forward. The tender moments shared between the couple and between siblings evoke warmth and joy. This emotionally charged story is brimming with love and passion. The intense chemistry between Sutton and Nikki ignites the pages, while Sutton's bond with Preston tugs at the heartstrings. Overall, this story is a standout. The characters are well-developed, and their willingness to support a family in need, despite the unknown secrets, is commendable. The vivid descriptions of the town and its inhabitants create a sense of community that is inviting and appealing. The narrative paints a picture of a close-knit town that feels like one big extended family, making readers yearn to be a part of it.

Audiobook Review for Call It Magic by Janet Chapman

 



Series
Setting
Maine (United States)


Welcome back to Spellbound Falls, Maine where love is the greatest magic of all...

Katy MacBain moved to Spellbound Falls with secrets she plans to keep. The newest member of the Fire and Rescue Team, she disappeared for three weeks before arriving on the job. She doesn't understand why Gunnar Wolfe the town's interim fire chief and her boss seems determined to uncover the truth of what happened to her during that time. Or why she's more attracted to him than she's ever been to any other man.

A confident firefighter, Gunnar Wolfe doesn't give up and he's resolved to find out what's wrong with the mysterious and beautiful Katy. Since she is the newest member of his team, he's naturally protective of her, but he's surprised to find himself captivated by the tenacious and talented woman who is so...magical.

This was a beautiful love story full of magic and wonderful characters. Some characters shone brighter than others.

Those big, burly, protective Scots added humor to this plot. Kadie is going through a trying time. The moment she meets Gunner, she is drawn toward him immediately, and in her heart of hearts, we believe she already knew they were soulmates.

Kadie was a sweetheart of a character, genuine, kind, loving, and magical, someone who doesn't like to see others in pain and spreads happiness wherever she goes. Gunner was great, and we loved all those moments when he looked dazed and confused, yet went along with the flow.

This heartfelt emotional romance goes straight to the heart of the reader. There were tons of moments where you went "oh" and "ooh," and other times moments between characters were fun and engaging, especially when Katie was in pissed-off mode; those were downright hilarious, also many heart-melting moments.

Hey guys its Jessica. Sorry, I’ve been MIA for so long. I apologize for the long overdue wait for Janet’s next book. You’ve all been very patient and loyal fans that she loves. She has been working on this book over the last year and a half while dealing with her battle with cancer. It saddens me to say that she peacefully lost this battle this past weekend while her family was by her side. I apologize if this feels sudden. She was a very private person, even to her family. And she truly thought of all of you as her family. Thank you for your patience and understanding.

She was running from a nightmare. They were exactly what she needed.

Sienna fled her wedding barefoot and bleeding, leaving behind a fiancé whose charm hid something dark and dangerous. No plan. No destination. Just away.

Then three bikers discover her bleeding and terrified, and take her to their compound.

Ghost—the intense biker whose quiet dominance makes her feel protected instead of controlled.

Raze—the wild one with wicked humor who shows her how to laugh again.

Forge—the gentle giant whose steady hands show her what tenderness really means.

They're not just offering shelter. They're offering sanctuary. A place in their club, a role in their lives... and nights of pleasure that show her the difference between being taken and being claimed.

Three bikers. One runaway bride. And baggage from the life she left behind.

The Sons of Seduction protect their own. And Sienna's about to discover that being their princess means belonging to all three of them... in every way possible.

Warning: This scorching Reverse Harem MC Romance features one traumatized runaway bride getting thoroughly worshipped by three alpha bikers who share everything—including her. It contains explicit scenes, protective possessiveness, a villain who gets what he deserves, and a guaranteed HEA that's three times as hot.

Sons of Seduction Book 2: Runaway - Can be read as a standalone.

ADD TO GOODREADS

This was an enjoyable, quick read full of steamy characters. Ghost, Forge, and Raze each have distinct personalities that attract Sienna to all of them. They bring different approaches to meeting her needs and making her feel safe. The story is filled with emotion and personal growth as Sienna discovers herself and learns to trust again.

Sienna has faced challenges, but she uncovers the truth before it's too late. The secrets she learns put her in harm's way, and the only way she can be safe is in the arms of the men she has grown to love.

We enjoyed the slow-burning romance where Sienna's men are protective rather than possessive. They take the time to understand each other, and Mama is the strong force that keeps them together and in line. She is fierce yet sweet, protective, and caring. Life may change unexpectedly, but the life Sienna has now is everything she ever dreamed of.
