My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Project Paradise (The Juniper Court Series) by Phoebe Alexander is part of The Juniper Court series that is written by various authors. I have also read the second book in this series and I loved it. I highly recommend this book and this series. This book is not for anyone under the age of 18, it will certainly heat you up! This is my favorite book of this authors. It pulled me in right from the start and I couldn’t put it down until I read The End! Her writing style is easy flowing and engaging. Her characters pull you into the story with ease. They are connectable and lovable. This is the story of Valley and David. They have just moved to Juniper Court. David is always urging Valley to make friends with the other moms. But you see, Valley is not like other mothers, she doesn’t enjoy the things they do. She is highly sexed and wants lots of it. This is what urges her to check the internet out about swing. She then becomes determined to make her basement into a swinger paradise but at what cost? She doesn’t care what anyone thinks about their lifestyle but she does wonder if there are others in her community that are swingers. Is this a lifestyle that their marriage is strong enough to take or will fate have something else in mind for them? There is no doubt that this book is hot and steamy! At the beginning I didn’t really care so much for Valley. I thought she was selfish and not a very good parent. I have no doubt that she loves her children and just has a different way of things. I loved watching her grow throughout this story and she has no filter to her mouth. She is a strong character and independent but she could work on her people skills. David is a sweet man who loves Valley so much that he pretty much goes with the flow with her until he couldn’t anymore. They took me on an emotional roller coaster ride that had me laughing one minute and needing ice water the next. They also took me on a few twists and turns that you won’t necessarily see coming but I needed to find out what happened next. The secondary characters are just as connectable and lovable. There are a couple that I didn’t care for their attitude towards Valley but they are true to life and made the story flow. This is a must read story and series!

Project ParadiseProject Paradise by Phoebe Alexander
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I really really liked this book! This story is a risqué kind of story and the reader must be open minded, at least sexually open minded. Project Paradise gives you a look into a different lifestyle than most books.

The main characters, Valley and David, are a seemingly happily married couple looking to make a change. I liked Valley most of the time. I could see her insecurities hiding just below the surface. Her husband David though I am not so sure about. Sometimes he seemed almost perfect and then other times, completely closed off. I am sure he is a complete heart breaker. Some of the choices that Valley and her husband David made will not be everyone’s cup of tea. But that’s ok because variety is the spice of life! The cul-de sac that is the setting for most of this story has its typical soccer mom and PTA parents that made me laugh out loud at the accuracy. We are given a very small sneak peek into the other families/people on the cul -de-sac.

Since this is a series like no other I have read…I am seriously having a hard time waiting for the other books. Will the other stories be just as awesome? Can not wait to see what the others really think of Valley (love that name by the way) and David. What secrets could the neighbors be hiding?!

To me personally this book is a complete fantasy because I don’t think I could ever be like Valley. And that’s ok. This story was still an excellent read. I also found this book to be hot and funny and scary. Scary in the way being vulnerable makes you feel. Alexander uses her character, Valley, to teach us not to judge others and to have better communication with not just those we are intimate with but with those closest to us.

The title, Project Paradise, sounds like a goal we should all have. Everyone’s paradise is different and again that’s ok.

I highly recommend this story!

Planet Perfect by Charlotte Roth

5 Stars

Where do I begin? I have been reading for years and can honestly say I’ve never read a book with a storyline that compares to this one. This was awesome and the way everything was described I could picture it all perfectly and felt like I was actually standing there watching all of this play out. It was also awesome to take a break for just a bit from the the traditional romance and meet a couple that had already been there and done that and were happily married.

Amy lost her parents years ago in an accident and was left in the care of her older brother Liam, who had been disabled in the accident that took their parents. They lived in the house their parents left them in a not so nice part of town and when Jack entered the picture he had to accept that Amy and Liam were a package deal, which he did wholeheartedly. Amy and Jack had been trying for years to have a baby, having to try other routes as Amy wasn’t able to get pregnant on her own. After many miscarriages and ending up broke, they were approached about a perfect place where all of their dreams could possibly come true and they could live in a place that had no violence, no crime, and no ugliness. With a little help from big brother Liam and the promise of a beautiful future they decide to move to this perfect walled community, which meant leaving behind her big brother Liam.

It doesn’t take long for Amy to start second guessing everything they have done. Things start happening that make perfect seem somewhat imperfect and knows in her heart she has to fix it. But how?

I have to stop there, Im so afraid I will go into too much detail and that can’t happen. You have to read this book…It was an awesome story that in a few parts I felt like I was going to break my kindle trying to turn the pages as fast as I could. Liam was so unbelievably fantastic in this story, I loved his character and wish for another book just so I can read more from him. This was my first read by this author and can not wait to see what else she has.

Peaceful Slumber (Soul Connection, #1)Peaceful Slumber by Nikki Lynn Barrett
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Peaceful Slumber by Nikki Lynn Barrett is one story not to be missed. Oh it was not what I imagined but it only made it that much better. It is a paranormal ghost story with twists you will not see coming. I love a tangled web full of mystery and thrills and this one does not disappoint. I loved it as I was unable to guess what was coming up next.

Scott hasn’t always had his gift or is it a curse? What you see is not always what you get. But without it it would not have lead him to the two best things in his life.

This is one page turner that will keep you on the edge of your seat and biting your nails. Nikki good work!!

Tuesdays At Six (Sunday Love Book 3) by K.J. Lewis – Review by Karyn Taylor

Tuesdays at 6 (Sunday Love, #3)Tuesdays at 6 by K.J. Lewis
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

One word. WOW!
Either I have turned into a major sop or authors are getting better at writing awesome emotional stories. This was yet another book that had me in tears. This one more so than any of the others I’ve read recently. KJ Lewis has done an amazing job at grabbing you in all the feels.
Walt Nelson’s world was turned upside down when his best friends died and left him as guardian for their two daughters Zinnie and Poppy. Walt had no intentions of ever having children and now here he is as guardian of grieving 15 year old Zinnie and 5 year old Poppy.
Samantha Abbott works as a PA for Walt’s brother Finn but is looking for a new job and somewhere to live. Finn talks Walt into giving Sam a trial as a live in nanny.
This is an emotional story of the trials and tribulations of dealing with grief and also Walt and Sam’s growing attraction to each other. Added to the mix are Walt’s bunch of guy friends and Sam’s group of girls. These additional characters add much to the story as they help Walt and Sam with the girls.
Tuesdays at Six is the third novel in the Sunday Love series but can be read as a standalone. I had not read the first two books and didn’t feel that any of the story was missing as a result. However, having LOVED this book so much I will definitely be reading the others in the series.
This is a MUST read. The story is beautiful and emotional and takes you on an amazing journey.

The Mother-in-Law by Judy Moore – Review by Bobbi Wagner

The Mother-in-LawThe Mother-in-Law by Judy Moore
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The Mother-In-Law by Judy Moore is suspenseful romance story. This is my first book by this author and I fully enjoyed it. I enjoyed how her writing style was easy flowing and engaging. Her attention to details made me feel like I was right there with the characters. Her characters are both connectable and true to life. They took me on a few twists and turns that I didn’t see coming and had me on the edge of my seat a few times. This is the story as a man and woman who meet in Las Vegas. They get married after a short time and he moves her back to his house. What he doesn’t tell her is that he has a five year old son and he lives with his mother. There are secrets lurking and they may not be good. Relationships may not be as they seem, what will happen when all is exposed? There are things that he never told her, will she leave when she finds out? At first, I wasn’t quite sure what to think about these characters. You have a woman who marries a man and doesn’t know him. You have a man who doesn’t want to stand up for himself and is willing to be pushed around. Then you have the mother in law who is completely nasty and is out to get the woman. I enjoyed all of them because they made up the story and without these characters the story wouldn’t be the same. But I thought maybe there could be a little more to them then there was. Find out if this mother in law will finally get her new daughter in law out of her house or if the daughter in law will convince her husband to leave. I highly recommend this book as it has a little bit of everything in it. I found myself wanting to know what would happen next and you will find yourself the same way.

Recapitulation (Songs and Sonatas, #3) by Jerica MacMillan – Review by Jenni Bishop

Recapitulation (Songs and Sonatas, #3)Recapitulation by Jerica MacMillan
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Recapitulation is book 3 in the Songs and Sonatas series by Jerica MacMillan and her story telling and writing keep on getting better with each book. You must read the books in order to be captivated by the world she creates and the characters that you will grow to love. This is a young love rockstar romance that ​has it all.

Gabby is tired of hearing that she is not good doing enough, that she is not good enough. Where once her priorities laid, now she knows what she wants but how will she get there if she is unsure about the one she loves.

Jonathan know what he wants and he wants what’s best for Gabby even if it means they are miles apart. He wants her to have her hopes and dreams as much as it make him miserable that she is not always with him. But what if those hopes and dreams have changed?

Sweet and steamy hot loving, angst and hardships and just some of the things we see as we watch our two characters grow and learn life lessons and love with an unbreakable bond. I would love to read more on this amazing couple and I can’t wait to see what Jerica has in store for us next.

The Colors of My Life by Linda Burson

5 Stars!!!!

This was a new type of romance for me and I have to admit I was skeptical at first but the more I read the more I found myself getting lost in the book. I really enjoyed this book and the complexity of the plot and characters. The author did a great job of weaving the characters complex issues and backstories into the book and it draws you into it and keeps you glued to the pages.

The whole complexity of Caylie’s emotions and her character really draw you into the book. Caylie is a very special complex woman and I could sort of relate in some fashion with her. The whole sudo triangle between her Landon and Cole makes you sort of envy her. The twist in the story with Cole and his backstory that leads you to be just glued to the pages to see what the outcome will be and you really start to route for Cole and you can understand just what Caylie sees in him and why she fell in love with him. You know that she will never forget her first husband and that she loved Nolan but you can understand why she felt the way she did and just how things turn out the way they do. I really look forward to reading more from this author and was pleasantly surprised how much I really enjoyed this book that makes it quite a nice little find.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

What a great idea! The Last Resort Motel is a new series which includes a new story from a different author each month. This review is only for Room One by Gwyn McNamee.

This was a fun but quick read. It includes an adventure with some steamy sex. And there were guys with guns! Adventure, sex and guns oh my! This story is straight forward with no huge plot twists at the end. I love the way McNamee left the ending. We have the hope of more but at the same time could be perfectly happy with the ending as is. McNamee even gave us just enough details about the main characters, Max and Aurora, that we feel connected to them in this story but at the same time there is enough kept from us that McNamee could write more about them later!

Aurora and Max are just wandering through life. It seems that they are waiting for some big adventure! Little do they know what they find in Room One!

I can safely recommend this story and look forward to the rest of the series.

Agony & Ecstasy (The Marcy Series, #3)Agony & Ecstasy by Linda Burson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Agony And Ecstasy is the third book in the Marcy series by Linda Burson and continues on where the second book ended. This book is the culmination of everything coming to a head. Freedom is scary, revenge is ripe and sweet, devastation takes its toll and finally nightmares are finally revealed in full. Love is lost, happiness turns into heartbreak. Agony finds happiness and a broken heart may mend. This story has many many many highs and lows and lots of confusion, tears and sorrow, but there is also laughter and surprises.

It is a story of three peoples hopes and dreams and unimaginable love. It is also a story about dealing with a past that would destroy even the strongest of us and dealing with the complications of that past to try and find a way to the future.

Confusion is the second book in the Marcy series by Linda Burson and and just like the first book here is a whole lot going on. This book will certainly keep you on your toes and on a rollercoaster ride where you don’t know which way is up or down. Confusion is an apt title. This book is a psychological twister that has it all from action and romance, murder and mystery, and lots of dramas and dilemmas. Your emotions will be all over the place, fear and anger, love and angst, hate and happiness.

Marcy is trying to face her nightmares and little by little they are coming back but could there be a more that could be behind everything? Could things get much worse they they already are? Will she be able to move on from her past? Will she finally be able to move on in her life?

If you liked the first book and you want to know what happens to Marcy then jump right in. You won’t want to miss the rest of the plots, twists and turns.

The Colors of My Life by Linda Burson is a romantic drama. There is loads and loads of suspense and action and it was very intriguing. This is my book I have read by this author and it was a surprising read. The plot is well thought out and there are certainly lots of twists and turns that you don’t see coming.

Our main characters Cole and Caylie meet up in the most unexpected and unusual way. Cole unfortunately got caught up on the wrong side of things and I could sympathise with him.

Caylie was a a caring and loving person who would do anything for anyone. Unfortunately she found herself in some terrifying situations. How she stayed strong was a testament to her character.

I liked the story, and it was a nice read. For me I found the characters a little too polite all the time which just seemed a little to disbelieving but if you are a fan of romantic drama then this is one that you will enjoy. ​The story is definitely a fast paced roller coaster ride that doesn’t seem to slow down. ​It was nice to read a story where the main characters were that bit older than the norm.

Goddess Of The Wild Thing by Paul DeBlassie III is a paranormal fantasy psychological thriller.

The story is full of witchcraft and mystery, darkness and evil vs good, folklore and the mystics. For me the book was a little too busy and it took me a little while to connect to the story and with the characters. Once I found that connection I had to keep reading until I knew the outcome. This story is certainly full of surprises and many twist and turns.

Chains of Life by Shandi Boyes is the sixth book in her Perception series and I am warning you now, you will have a seriously hard time with controlling your impatience as the book ends with a cliffhanger!!! We have to wait for the second part?! Oh…I am sure we will survive, I know how I will cure my impatience – I will be reading the first 5 books of the series! I have read all of the Enigma books but I had not gotten to the Perception series and what a great opportunity I have now … curing my ‘hangover’ … The book is very steamy so if you are not into that kind of reading … be prepared to jump over pages … we others will get kicks out of it!
Chains of Life is the story of Cleo and her assignment, a mysterious dominant business man… So basically Chains of Life is the story of Cleo and her finding herself, her struggles with integrity (I mean she has this insane chemistry with the man she is assigned to investigate, she feels … so much …) and financially while also having a sole responsibility off her younger sister after her parents and younger brother died in an accident.
The mysterious businessman, if you have read Enigma series and thought that Isaac was dark and hot and …. everything we secretly fantasize/dream about … well, this man is so much more! Be ready to be swept away … still, remember he is just a man and he makes mistakes like everyone …
I loved the story line, I love Shandi’s writing style, the way how she makes us to relate to all of her characters, how we find humanity in all of them … I love how she has given us a beautifully told story of an alternative lifestyle…
If you have read any of the other Shandi’s books, you will not be disappointed … it feels as if her writing is getting better with every single book … oh my, cannot wait for the next one!

This is the continuation of Denise and Chris’s story. The last we saw them Denise had thought he just disappeared after giving him a chance in her life. His position with the FBI takes him on missions where he has to cut off all communication and basically turn into a ghost.
Denise is done with all that, she has enough to deal with being given custody of her cousins and trying to figure out how she is going to not screw them up, since she has a hard time taking care of herself as it is. When Chris returns with his mission to take down the man that as it turns out is the young cousins father who is supposed to be in prison but got out early and has skipped parole. Denise’s life focus has changed and the children have become everything to her, and she will go to any length to protect them. That includes not allowing Chris to use them as bait to catch their father.
Now that he’s back he wants to pick back up with Denise where they left off, but Denise is sick of being an afterthought and isn’t keen on allowing him back in.
This was an amazing story, I love this author and her style of pulling a story together. I loved the twists and turns and the danger factor that was present in this story. Sprocket was still one of my favorite parts as well as the friendship bond between Bree and Denise, I love the snarky one liners and the love and support these two share. This author has risen to being one of my new favorite authors and I will read anything she comes out with.

Confusion by Linda Burson is the second book in her Marcy series and I promise you, it is definitely not a standalone! Do not even try! You will be sooo lost! And it is very different from the first book … what a crazy rollercoaster indeed …
The second book finds Marcy going between Brad and Liam while still plagued by the disjointed memories of her past … What a lucky woman she is, loved by two … both of the men making her feel special … still, she needs to decide, doesn’t she? Who she will spend her lifetime with … or does she need to? I have to say that the title absolutely fit the story line … Marcy is one confused woman who cannot understand why she feels drawn to both Liam AND Brad …
The book is a combination of action, romance, psychological elements and twists that no one saw coming … Thank you Ms Burson for giving us a story that in some ways is so simple to relate to and on the other hand leaves us again, reaching for the next one in the series …

Alexa Series Vol. 1 by T.R. Cupak, WOW! T.R. really did me in with this book! This story is so beautiful and heart wrenching.

I instantly fell in love with Alexa and her family. The relationship they share is so beautiful. I could definitely see the love they all shared. Alexa’s relationship with her best friend Devin is rocky at first when she moves but through the death of her parents reunited these two.

Through the whole book Alexa’s best friend Devin and the man she is crushing on, Ethan, her best door neighbor share so much hatred for each other as they are both in love with her. I love both of the guys and can see Alexa with either man, but my heart leans more towards Devin with the way he has loved Alexa his whole life, and his love and devotion to her is evident.

When Ethan’s deranged step mother enters the picture, some evil and heinous events turn everyone’s life upside down.

I can’t say too much without giving anything away but, this book is so worth everything! The tears, the love and my breaking heart. This is a 5 Star read and I don’t have enough positive wording to praise this book like it deserves. I can’t wait to read more by this amazing author! Thank you T.R. Cupak for an amazing adventure!

Falling In Love (A True Love Romance Story Book 3)Falling In Love by Cindee Bartholomew
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Falling In Love is the third book in the series Siri’s Saga by Cindee Bartholomew and is just as good if not better than the others. It is a continuation of the sweet and oh so sexy story of Siri and Aurei. The sinful sexy and erotic story line will have your heart pumping and your imagination engaged. I would love to see this story written in the different POV of each of the main characters in the one story. The passion these two have for each other is of the charts and I can’t wait to see where Cindee takes them next. If soul mates exists then it is these two. Cindee is definitely a writer that can make you see and believe everything she writes. The stories keep getting, hotter, sexier, steamier and make you an addicted and wanting more.

Alexa Series, Volume One by T.R. Cupak – Review by Debi Kircher

Alexa Series, Vol. One (Alexa, #1-2)Alexa Series, Vol. One by T.R. Cupak
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Alexa Series, Volume One by T.R. Cupak
5 Stars, but deserves so many more!
This author has snuck up on me and has me all kinds of messed up. This is my second read by her this week, and the first one about ruined me…this one has taken what was left and shattered me. I can not put my finger on what it is about this author’s writing style but it is unmatched by anyone I’ve ever read, I have favorites, and they will remain favorites, but Miss Cupak holds a new favorite spot in my heart.
This story was amazing…the twists and turns in Alexa’s life had me sitting on the edge of my seat the entire book. Her friendship with Devin was so awesomely written and I loved that it didn’t stay a perfect friendship, it had its ups and downs and time apart. I had mixed feelings about Alexa’s new neighbor Ethan, I just wasn’t sure which way his character was gonna go and the part he was going to play in Alexa’s life. The devastating events that Alexa has to endure in this book were mindblowing, losing her parents in an earthquake had me in tears, and Im having a really hard time writing this review because it’s all still so fresh and I’m so afraid I will give too much away. You have to experience this book the way I did, I did not even read the synopsis, I just knew that after reading her book Jordans Shadow that it didn’t matter what the synopsis said I was reading this. This is broke up into two books, and I keep forgetting that because I don’t even remember where the break between the two were, I just know it flowed so perfectly that it felt like one.
I do know that more characters came into play during the second, Alexas twin best friends Jessa and Becca who were completely awesome became a much bigger part of the second story and then there was Sebastian, a friend? Or business associate of her fathers? Alexa is unsure but a letter left by her father told her to trust this man known as Viper. This brought in a different twist to this story, but this man quickly became one of my favorite parts of this book, as well as Jeremy, who gets brought in to the mix by Sebastian, and his part in Alexa’s life also became one of my favorite things in this book.
I have to stop, Im rambling and going in different directions because I just don’t know what to say…This was one of the most amazing stories I’ve ever read, there’s so much going on but it is all centered around Alexa, Devin, and Ethan. I cried so hard so many times in this book, and the epilogue left me wanting so so much more, I can not wait to see how some of the twists in this book still play out.
LOVED LOVED LOVED it and am now a forever fan of this author..She is amazing!!

If We Had No Winter by D.L. Pitchford – Review by Carrie Reed

If We Had No Winter (Billie Dixon, #1)If We Had No Winter by D.L. Pitchford
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

If We Had No Winter by D.L. Pitchford is just WOW! I loved this book! The story was fantastic and I never wanted it to end. This is most definitely a 5 star read!

At first, just based on the synopsis, I didn’t think I would really get into this book or even enjoy it a little, but after reading the first chapter I was hooked. The story is so intriguing and it will pull you right in. I could not put this book down; I wanted to know what was going to happen next. I thought I could anticipate some of the outcomes of the issues and relationships but I was dead wrong. The author kept me on my toes.

There is a lot going on in this story, Billie trying to rekindle a relationship with her dad, as well as dealing with school work and the boys in her life. Throughout the whole book I felt as though Billie’s relationship with Xander would have ended up to be more than it did. They become friends in the end but with the way he would pick on her and tease her I thought he had feelings for her, and I still do.

At one point Billie kind of got on my nerves because she sounded like a whiney brat and it was getting a little annoying, but I did feel bad for her on different levels relating to her relationship with her father, and how she viewed herself.
Overall a FANTASTIC book, I really really REALLY hope there is a second book, I would love to follow along with Billie’s journey through college and also hope for a relationship to happen between Xander and Billie.

No Man Left Behind: An Iris Williams & Annette Toni Novel by R.G. Miller – Review by Jenni Bishop

No Man Left Behind (Iris Williams & Annette Toni)No Man Left Behind by R.G. Miller
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

No Man Left Behind: An Iris Williams & Annette Toni Novel by R.G. Miller is a standalone dark psychological thriller. It is gripping graphic and violent story that is full of suspense. I love a good crime thriller and this one did not disappoint. There are so many twists and turns and action that you just need to keep on reading to find out what is going to happen. It’s like a good horror movie, if you blink you will miss out on soooo much. R.G writes a good intense story and a well thought out plot that makes you glued to the pages.
This is the first book I have read by R.G, and I enjoyed this one enough to make me want to read the others. If you are looking for a dark and twisted thriller that leaves your heart thumping, then this is one book you can not go past.
