JET AmbushedJET Ambushed by J.E. Vassar
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

JET: Ambushed (Kindle Worlds Novella) by JE Vassar ​is an action packed thriller that is a very short and quick but the plot is fast paced and full of action that will keep you on the edge of your seat right up to the very last page. JE left it open for the story to continue and I hope it does. These agents are trained to be deadly and it’s that, that will keep the terrorists at bay but when one of their own is taken can the team reach her in time before a major disaster happens? Will they be able to stop evil and save their agent?

I recommend you grab this book as it will get your heart pumping.

The New Neighbor (The Juniper Court Series) by Isabelle Peterson – Review by Jenni Bishop

The New Neighbor (The Juniper Court Series)The New Neighbor by Isabelle Peterson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The New Neighbor by Isabelle Peterson is another book in the The Juniper Court Series and is probably my favourite amongst the ones I have read so far. Isabelle writes characters that you can relate to and you feel as though they are your friends. ​This is a M/M romance story and is wonderfully written and is oh so steamy and hot which makes them fit right into the court they live in, where anything goes.

Erik is getting over his broken heart and Kyle hasn’t even admitted to his family that he’s gay. Will they find a way to each other and will they be able to be open and honest not only with each other but with their families and friends.

I am looking forward to the next book from the Juniper Court series.

Addicted to Love (Bayou Devils MC Book 2) by A.M. Myers – Review by Jenni Bishop

Addicted to Love (Bayou Devils MC #2)Addicted to Love by A.M. Myers
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Addicted to Love (Bayou Devils MC Book 2) by A.M. Myers is the best MC book I have read in a long time. Wow what a ride. A.M did a fantastic job writing this story that will leave you heartbroken, sad and crying but for all that was sad there is also moments of laughter. Once I started this book I was unable to put it down and read it in one sitting. The pain and suffering our main character had to endure was heartbreaking but she is one strong and sassy woman and with the help of one man and the MC behind her she is able to heal. There are characters that you just fall in love with and there are those who you just want to do physical bodily harm.

This is one outstanding book that everyone should read but beware tissues are needed.

Just One Night (Blue Beech, #2)Just One Night by Charity Ferrell
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Just One Night by Charity Ferrell is one story that you should jump at the chance to read. Love certainly isn’t easy and when your whole life is lost it breaks you, but when you receive news, of something you never thought possible, does it make you want to live again? Love when you are not looking for it but need it and it finds you, is something worth fighting for.

Charity has taken us into a world where sometimes second chances are all you need. Her writing is magical and the story is tragic but beautiful, passionate and loving, sad and yet happiness. I loved every word, every sentence, every paragraph. I fell in love with the world and characters, Willow who is a sassy and strong, loyal and loving, then there is Dallas who is sad and broken but also loving and sexy.

Just One Night will steal your heart and soul and leave you wanting more. Charity is a new Author for me but she is now one of my favourites and can’t wait to read more from her.

Deepest Scars (Being Me #5)Deepest Scars by Tricia Copeland
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Deepest Scars is a novel of the ‘Bring Me’ Series by Tricia Copeland and can be read as a standalone. Tricia writes well and is invested in her characters. Some I loved, some not so much, as I wanted to smack them around, which to me means they are well written. This story is about second chances and new beginnings, secrets and forgiveness, love and heartbreak. Even though I found the story a little slow at times, it was still a good read.

As the layers were peeled back of our two main characters, especially Liz (whom my heart broke for), we got to see them grow and blossom, not just as a couple but also as themselves. That girl had to deal with more than any normal person deserves in her short life time but she managed and I wanted to hug her and take away all her hurt.

Tricia wrote this from a male perspective and it was different but good to read a story from the male point of view rather than the usual female.

Worth a read.

Tilt (Dreams of Chaos #2)Tilt by Ashley Chappell
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Tilt is the second book in the Dreams of Chaos series. Even though you can pick up this book and read it without necessarily reading the first book, I highly recommend getting the first book anyway. I fell in love with the first book almost immediately, and Tilt is just as wonderful. There is a stunning array of colorful characters to both love and hate. Where the first book introduced concepts of how powerful our mind’s creative ability can be, Tilt deals with the struggle of learning how to properly use your power without losing yourself. I cannot recommend these books enough.

Trotter, the daughter of gods, is seeing her world change right before her eyes. The days are becoming shorter and the tides are out of synch. Having been forbidden to stay in Realm, home of the gods, Trotter is on her own trying to figure out what is happening. She soon discovers the gods forgotten creation and is thrown into a new world. Even as her own home is being destroyed, Trotter finds that the world she has discovered is also in danger. Trotter has to make a decision that she avoided making in the first book, and it will change everything…even her. A new power is growing within Trotter, but is it something that will be even more dangerous than what they are already facing?

Tilt has action, adventure, bravery, gods and monsters, friendship, a bit of romance, and a lot of life lessons. I love the new additions to the cast of characters, especially Erwin. Superior humor is a must when dealing with monsters invading the land. Get the book. Read the book. You will not be disappointed!

Relationship Resuscitation (The Juniper Court Series) by Jennifer Theriot is a quick read and fits in nicely with the other books in this series which are written by different authors with their own unique writing style and perspectives. This book is about finding the sparks that so often leaves couples after their children have grown and flown the coupe, Empty Nesters that their love is still strong but between the sheets a little spice to life is needed.

Make Me (Dirty Royals Book 1) by Kaye Blue

Make Me is the first book in the Dirty Royals Series by Kaye Blue and is a contemporary romance story. ​Don’t they say there is a fine line between love and hate! Well in this book we see ​plenty of drama and sparks flying as we watch enemies face off and gradually see more in each other than they ever have.

When you have always had things given to you on a silver platter, you wonder where you fit in life, in love, in yourself but also in your family. When you have been bought up to hide your feelings it is hard to say the thing that is the most important.

When you have always fought for what you want, is it any surprise your best would never have made a difference to the decision being made.

Kaye has started out with a bang with this book which is easy to read and well written but also entertaining. I enjoyed the story and look forward to the next book in the series.

I loved reading Relationship Resuscitation from, The Jupiter Court Series by Jennifer Theriot. This is another fabulous and exciting sexy, loveable, and emotional book. I was really excited to read this book/series. The characters are well written, with Ms. Theriot writing style is easy flowing and engaging.
We Meet Phillip & Jayne Miller, original homeowners on Juniper Court. He’s a successful attorney; she’s a flourishing blogger. Head over heels in love and approaching 50, their relationship needs a little jump start. With the their twin girls married and moved away from Sunview, Phillip and Jayne decide it’s time to focus on resuscitating their relationship, complete with spicing up their neglected sex life. When competition between the two sets in, it becomes a full out game to see who can one-up the other trying new things.
Ah, yes. Life on Juniper Court gets interesting… and sometimes embarrassing. Be careful what you wish for and where you stick your nose. Sometimes keeping up with the Joneses–or in this case, the Sullivans can have.
I really enjoyed this book/series and can’t wait to read the next book in this series.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Gabe is the first book in the Glass City Hearts by Desiree Lafawn and it is a winner. Desiree has thrown everything you could want in a book and it comes together seamlessly. This story is intriguing and mysterious, sexy and hot, realistic and yet unbelievable. There is threats and crime, sleaze bags and terror, laughter and sadness but underneath it all is such sweetness it will knock you for a six.

The characters in this book are lovable and funny but Greta and Jolene are such a hoot, that you can’t help but laugh out loud with their antics and want to be their best friend. I hope we get to read more of these wonderful characters in the future.

What happens when you are in the wrong place at the wrong time? Who do you turn to when your life is in danger? What happens when you come face to face with a past that tore you to shreds? How can you reconcile a past with your future? What happens when you are so consumed with sadness that you don’t know how to move on?

To find the answers and more get a copy and sit back and enjoy the ride.

After All These Years by Bree Kraemer is the seventh book in her Cederville series and what a beautiful second chances story it was! I have read all of the other books in the series and yes, you could read the story as a standalone but you’d miss out so much out on the dynamics and subtleties by doing so!
The story is Julia and Wes’ story of second chances … They had been together for four years when teenagers and unfortunately they got into experimenting with drugs and it got out of control! Julia got clean but Wes didn’t and for the sake of staying clean, Julia left Wes … for fourteen years! It is in some ways a very heart-breaking story of how far reaching our mistakes can be – for fourteen long years both Julia and Wes have tried to have other relationships but no one, no one has filled the spot the other had left behind … They both have rebuilt their lives, they both are successful in their own rights and the writer is taking us on a journey of re-discovery … can they forgive and move on? Will their families still be supportive when the old secrets come to light?
I love all of the Centerville stories and I invite you to join us and become friends with all these amazing characters that Bree has introduced to us! Every book she introduces us someone new who ends up getting their own story so I cannot wait for the next Centerville adventure!

Unforgivable Secret (Breathless) by Izzibella Beau

5 Stars

Oh my gosh I love this book! I was only 80% of the way through it and had already recommended it to a couple people. It is a young adult novel dealing with some bullying, depression, and just the normal things high schoolers deal with on a daily basis while they just try to get through the start of adulthood. I think one of the things I loved most about reading this is that it felt completely real all the way through…No huge earth shattering twists and turns just real life and I completely appreciated that.

Ethan was captain of the soccer team, popular, good looking, and had the normal popular girls following him everywhere. When faced with a bet that has been around as long as the soccer team itself, he finds himself being forced to target the captain of the debate team. The smart girl, the one no one pays attention to unless their making snide remarks or making fun of her, the younger sister of one of the most popular girls in the school at one time. Ethan learns quickly that this will not be a bet that’s easily won, and finds that now that he is paying attention to this girl, things get very complicated in this popular guys life!

Morgan is the quiet one, the smart one, the one everyone picks on or just plain ignores. Society believes she should lose a few pounds, although that was only because she wasn’t stick thin. Her only goal is to get through her senior year and get away from all the crap and hopefully find a good school where she wouldn’t constantly feel like she was having to live up to everything her older sister stood for while she attended the same school, even though her sister was now in college, her presence was still very strong. She couldn’t quite figure out why the most popular guy in school, one that she would never even consider wanting anything to do with all of sudden has decided to pay attention to her. Could she be wrong about him, he seemed totally different than what she thought.

When things aren’t as they seem and a young girl is faced with an unforgivable secret, can she find it in her heart to forgive? Can a young man who has so much to live up to and finds many things to be not as they seemed be able to get past the extreme hurt he not only causes but feels deeply within himself?

Awesome story, and now I can not wait to read more from this author, her writing style flowed easily and I sincerely loved this book and did not want it to end.

This was the conclusion to Gray and Daniel’s story and it did not disappoint. The author does a wonderful job of making her characters be real people. I loved that she portrayed how two people who are overcoming their own demons can work together to overcome them, but that isn’t always with rainbows and butterflies. That a real relationship has ups, downs, and takes work. That sometimes each person has to be loving, kind, and understanding. Sometimes the other person has to be strong, disciplined, and the powerhouse and that those roles can often change in a true relationship. Such a warm book about those obstacles and how sometimes the things you think you are dealing with are not the true fight. I hope to see the author come back to these characters someday as they grow and expand.

I love Ashlie Knapp’s writing style, characters, covers, and stories! You can try to avoid love and be just like the main characters of this story, Breckin and Griff, but I bet just like them, you will be surprised!

Knapp’s books are easy to read, with stories that are sweet, sexy and safe enough for your own 90 year old “Mema” to read!

Since this is not my first book by Knapp, I was hoping that Unlikely to Fit would leave me smiling and my heart warm and full, just like her other books. In the craziness of real life, it is good to have a go to author to make you feel good! Ashlie Knapp is my go to goodness!

Breckin and Griff have had their hearts broken by their previous loves. Neither one is looking to start over. Their adventure is a fun one to read. Griff’s grandmother steals the show most of the time which causes Griff and Breckin to come together.

This is the second book in the series but it could be read as a stand alone. However, I suggest reading book one first as there are some references to the main characters, Annie and Wyatt. The main characters from book one are the best friends of Breckin and Griff. (Plus Knapp writes a great story!)

I had high hopes for this story since I have read a few of LMM’s other books. And of course she didn’t let me down. Good story. Would have been a great story if the main characters, Graham and Jessie, had a (Better) relationship outside of the bedroom. In the bedroom, these two were on fire. LMM did a great job of leading us to the bedroom scene and letting our imaginations take over. I would be interested in reading Graham’s side of this story.

The tone through most of this book makes me feel like something bad is going to happen, something that can’t be fixed. I was anxious most of the time…waiting. Yes Jessie had a bad childhood but it wasn’t devastating enough, at least to me, for her to be SO untrusting.

Overall I really did like this story. Graham is sweet and forgiving, Jessie is smart and just wants someone to love her, someone that will stay. Even the best friends, Sean and Sara are fun to read about. (Will they get their own story?)

This story has me stalk…err… following Miller to see what and who is next!! I can definitely recommend this story and author.
