Every Breath You Take (Bayou Devils MC 3)Every Breath You Take by A.M. Myers
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

How have I never read a book by A.M. Myers!?!?

O.M.G. this book is everything! Everything good, everything bad and everything in between! And this is book 3!?! Is this a standalone? It sure seemed that way to me. I loved the characters of Tate and Linc. Oh how my heart broke for these characters, especially while Linc was a teen and when Tate needed a friend the most.

Tatum also known as Tate, and Lincoln are so super hot together. They meet under crappy circumstances and become instant soul mates. They both seem to take a chance on each other. And holy smokes is their connection good.

The twist towards the end I never thought would actually happen! This book is not for the faint of heart. Which means triggers for those under certain situations.

This book is an amazing read! If all Myers books are like this then sign me up! A definite one click!

Moments That Define Us (Gray Ghost #0.5)Moments That Define Us by Amy McKinley
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

5 Stars

Moments That Define Us is the prelude (Book #0.5) to Gray Ghost Series by Amy McKinley. I have read all of Ms. McKinley’s books and have loved every single one. She is a fantastic writer who is able to weave a captivating story that hook me every time. I have loved the Gray Ghost series and so I was quite intrigued by what this prelude would contain. To say I am blown away would be an understatement! I already loved the characters- but after reading this and seeing where they came from and some of what they have been through, makes me admire and love them even more!
The story is quite intense and emotional. There are scenes that made my heart ache- but the main thing I got from this book was a whole lot more respect and admiration for the team, because having been through what they had, it would have been easy for them to give up, or to take the easy road- but they didn’t, and that takes massive strength of character to rise above and fight for what you believe in. The sense of duty, honour, loyalty, camaraderie, and tight-knit team work was apparent right from their early years- and has only gotten stronger as they got older. I love how this book really sets the stage for the rest of the series and gives such an amazing insight into the characters beginnings.
This may be a small story (novella), but still manages to pack a punch. Ms. McKinley fits a lot into a small space, making the whole thing seem like a much bigger book- in a great way!
I am so looking forward to the next Gray Ghost book!

Thank you, Ms. McKinley!

Special Agent Charli (Undercover FBI Book 6)Special Agent Charli by Mimi Barbour
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Special Agent Charli By Mimi Barbour was a great suspenseful 5 Star read for me. Not typically a fan of suspense but this book grabbed by attention from the very beginning. The book was well written and captivated the reader right away.

FBI Agent Carolina Madison just finished a long grueling case undercover and was due for a month long peaceful vacation. She had plans to visit Fort Lauderdale and have her Poppa John come visit for a bit. Her plans changed in the blink of an eye.

A neighbor down the hall witnessed something she shouldn’t have. Alicia is a minor who is currently living in horrific conditions. She was taken in by a couple who doesn’t even care for her. Now that her life is in danger, she needs to be put into witness protection and will only agree of Carolina is the one lookin after her.

The two change their names and looks and escape to another state in search of safety until the perp is captured. Carolina ( Charli ) isnt ready for all that happens when she agrees to keep Alicia ( Kayla ) safe. Everyone lives are threatened while some innocent lives are lost.

Blake Sebastian, Major with the FLPD is letting the two Charli and Kayla stay at his place. Blake is very good looking and he likes to have a good time with female company. He tries to get Charli’s attention but, she doesn’t give in easily. This book had me flipping the pages quickly and couldn’t wait to see what happens with the main characters. Perfect ending to a great book!

Releasing the Demons (The Order of the Senary #1)
By L.D. Rose
Rated 4 stars

Blazes story was an amazing opener and had me riveted. But then at times the story felt disconcerting. It seemed jumbled and I was confused as the scenes went from one to another without me realizing where the character was or who they were with. Now this is ONLY in the beginning so don’t stop reading!! As the story moved forward I really struggled to put the book down. I became very engaged in the book. I found myself caring about Blaze! Even wishing for Valerie to find her bliss. I was traumatized by Blaze’s confinement. I can still see how much that affected his thoughts and future daily. I’m not sure how Valerie was able to sneak under his defenses but I am glad she was able. Valerie is a cop and she is one tough cookie. She fights vamps and she’s only human! So when Blaze arrives on scene she cannot fathom a “nice” vampire. She really learned a lot in here….and she doesn’t hesitate to use her gun.

The “brothers” of the Senary are quite interesting. They all have sweet traits although I’m sure they don’t think so. They added some spark to the story and I enjoyed each one. When they are all together….they are like a big joking with a side of scary family. I will be looking for each of their stories.

This is a first time author for me. As previously stated it was choppy at the beginning. But once I got going I couldn’t put this down and devoured it to the end. The story was different (a bit) from other paranormals and the characters have depth. I found myself wanting to know more and more about each one. I am eagerly looking forward to the next in the series.

The Last Keeper of the Light by Nikki Broadwell

Stars:4

This story is filled to the brim of tragedy, despair, cruelty, and loneliness, but also with hope, love, kindness, and survival. This story follows Sandal after the electricity grid goes down and through the years. Sandal is actually older when the book begins, but we live the past through her memories. I found a lot of this book incredibly sad, but there was always hope and a will to survive that made it worth the read.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Ummmm, I am rating this as five stars and would rate it a negative 10 for how scared this book makes me feel about our future. IT IS THAT REALISTIC AT THE HEART OF IT ALL.

I read this book today, September 29, 2018 after a very trying week for our country and the divide that is opening further along party lines and humanity. This is one of the best dystopian books I’ve read. It reminded me a lot of a Stephen King novel called “The Stand”.

This story is told from the protagonist’s point of view in both past and present tense. It’s a story that held my attention from beginning to end and I will admit that I skipped ahead a few times because I couldn’t stand the suspense.

The writing is very visual and I was able to read it as if I was watching a movie. I could go on and on and compare and contrast the state of the world today with the state of the world in this story. I could also go on and on about how the author has interwoven so many different elements, but I just don’t want to take away th journey for someone else.

I absolutely recommend this book to friends and family alike.

Every Breath You Take (Bayou Devils MC 3)Every Breath You Take by A.M. Myers
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Every Breath You Take by A.M. Myers is the third story in the Bayou Devil’s MC series. I have read both books that come before this and loved them both, however this story is my favorite of the 3. Tatem was taught at a very young age how to be aware of the dangers and evils of the world, and how to defend herself against them. She is headstrong and independent. When her mother passes away, Tate is plaqued with more questions than answers, and lands herself in the middle of unknown danger. Lincoln, who is a member of Devil’s Bayou MC, and is devoted to the people he calls family is given the very important job of “watching” Tate, while keeping Tate unaware. That job is harder than he anticipates and it makes for a very thrilling read ! This story has action, suspense, humor, and romance all perfectly interwoven to make an awesome 5 star read!

Georgia Pine (Southern Promises #3)
By K.G. Fletcher
Rated 5 stars!

Wow! I really loved this story! Just Wow! The story…the characters….amazing. The emotions brought forth by this fantastic writing. I am still reeling and I am done reading this book!

The writing in this book and series is so good! Actually the story behind the writing. The heartfelt words and descriptions (characters and things) are brought to life in my imagination because of this authors words. I can picture each of them (characters) and as I read along i am more entranced by them every second. The girls and especially Tim. There was a definite beauty and the beast theme. Just the right touch. It is a cute add to the story. I love all the different ways that Tim’s green eyes are described. Pine, emerald and forest green are just some of the ways which make it very vivid in my mind. Plus all the references to him being a beast! His scraggly beard and long unkept hair….ha ha I loved it! Then when he called Jessica his Bella i couldn’t keep the smile from my face. Jessica and her girls were great. Each of the girls had their own little quirk and their love of Tim was so evident! Seriously though Tim was my favorite character….well next to Clay (Southern Promises Book 1).

This is the last in the series and I can’t say enough nice words about it. I will miss all these characters but I can reread them again and again.

Phoenix Rising: A Fortis Security Novel Book 7 (Fortis Security Series)Phoenix Rising: A Fortis Security Novel Book 7 by Maddie Wade
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Imagine my surprise when I finished this book and found out that it was book 7 in the series. The beginning few chapters referenced characters that were clearing introduced in other books and I had my suspicions that I was missing something. However, I was able to understand the story line, so I continued reading. I could tell which characters were clearly the good guys and which ones needed to go. Other reviews say that this can be read as a stand-alone, I don’t really agree because you don’t get the back story of Rhea Winslow. Even Megan’s back story isn’t told in this book. So, I definitely think the books should be read in order. I do think this book is worth the price. Since this is my first book by Maddie Wade I am intrigued enough to read the others in this series.

This story was adventurous and dangerous and sexy. Daniel and Megan are hot together. I am not sure if these two are in the other books but wow they are good in this one. The other characters, the rest of the Fortis Security team, are amazing, entertaining, loveable. I know I am going to read the rest of this series. You should too!

Special Agent Charli (Undercover FBI Book 6)Special Agent Charli by Mimi Barbour
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I give Special Agent Charli (Undercover FBI Book 6) by Mimi Barbour, 5 stars.

Charli just got off a very stressful undercover assignment that came close to breaking her. She has been approved to take a month-long vacation to unwind and get herself back together. She is in no frame of mind to take on another case. But when a girl comes to her begging for help, she can’t say no. And when the girl needs to go into witness protection, she will only go if Agent Charli goes with her. Again Charli cannot say no to this girl, as much as she wants to. This leads her to Florida and the local police agent Blake Sebastian. Her cover is the fiance of this womanizing cop. She doesn’t need another man in her life. But how does he seem to charm his way into her life? And will they be able to keep this frightened girl safe?

This was an incredible book. I have not read this series before and had no idea what to expect. I can understand where Charli is at in the beginning of the book. She is mentally burned out. She needs a relaxing vacation. But at the same time, she cannot risk this girl’s life. Blake is also an engaging character. He is the stereotypical playboy, until he meets his match in Charli. The story is captivating – besides the possible romance between these two, there is plenty of suspense. There are multiple things going on in here, not just catching the bad guy and watching the romance try to bloom. I was on the edge of my seat until the end.

I absolutely loved this book and highly recommend it to those lovers of romantic suspense.

Blind Magic, The Sanctuary Chronicles #2, by India Kells is paranormal romance featuring a witch and a werewolf. The author immediately jumps in with this story, creating an appealing story with dynamically different characters. As I continued through the story, I enjoyed the thoroughness the author had in parts of the book, setting it apart from similar books in this genre. This novel is full of suspense and drama, along with the dark moments that are within it. I have read other novels by this author and India Kells is very talented with her character creation, story development and enough intrigue.

Special Agent Charli is the sixth book in the Undercover FBI series by Mimi Barbour. This is the first book I have read by Ms. Barbour, but I plan to go back and read the first five books in this series. This story had me hooked from the very first page. I couldn’t put it down and it kept me up well into the night, but it was definitely worth the loss of sleep.
FBI Agent Charli was looking forward to a vacation with her gramps, but when those plans go awry and she ends up taking care of a teenager in the witness protection program with a new partner. Things heat up with Blake as they try to solve the murder.
This book is filled with action, adventure, mystery and romance. It is in the top five reads I have read this year. If you are looking for a good mystery with romance thrown in, this is the book for you.

by Sheri-Lynn Marean
5 out of 5 stars
Castiel; Born of Lightning is the second book in the Dragonkind 52 Realms written by Sheri-Lynn Maren and it’s the first book that I have read by this author and it surely won’t be the last. The characters and amazing and the way they play off each other is great. I loved the storyline and even though this is a paranormal book I could picture my self in the story. The scenery was described perfectly and believable.
As a bonded dragon shifter, Casstiel should have joined his soul mate in the afterlife when she was murdered. He did not. Fate changed the rules and tethered him to another female a druid witch. The enemy, or is she?
Casstiel has lived in a haze of fury for ten long years as he searches for the source of the hated connection. Only when they finally cross paths, he’s faced with a horrifying truth and finds himself protective and fiercely attracted to her. Even worse, she makes him question what it is he really wants.
Ashara is half human and half fire-born she has never soared the skies or shifted into her dragon. Instead, she’s been held captive as a breeder for the Ilyium, heart breaking more each time they take a child from her. Her only solace has been a connection to another that’s always kept her sane and warm in a cold, harsh life. When Asahra’s suddenly freed and confronted with her source of comfort; a large, sexy male who scares the hell out of her and wants her to release him, she is at a loss. As her heart awakens to a love she never dreamed possible, Ashara struggles to find her place in this new life, unsure of her desires, until a shocking discovery changes everything and may not be what anyone wants.
Will Ashara cut the cord that ties her to Castiel or will she fight for him? Will Castiel recognize Ashara for what she really is to him?
I really enjoyed this book and I hope to see a few of the characters in this authors next book…..

Georgia Pine by K.G Fletcher
4 Stars

This book was amazing! Once I started, I couldn’t put it down. It is book three in the Southern Promises series. It can be read as a stand-alone but the whole series is so good, you should read them all. This installment is Jessica and Tim’s story.

Jessica never thought she would be divorced and alone to raise her four daughters. The day her divorce became final, while having a meltdown, a white knight waltzed into her life to save her. He came in the form of a sexy beast of a man who happened to be her gardener. Tim is hiding under his mane and beard even changing his name. He needs to deal with his past. Falling in love with Jessica and her girls was not part of his plan. Will she still want to be with him after she finds out about his past?

I loved so many things about this book but one thing that stands out for me was the first time they made love. Tim is physically the perfect male specimen and Jessica, after having four kids, is not. Jessica expressed her insecurities and Tim accepted them and still found her beautiful. Most women who have had children are insecure about their bodies. Physically they are not the same. Pregnancy takes a toll on the body and stretch marks remain. I’m happy that the author addressed this and that Jessica wasn’t perfect. I think a lot of women will connect more with her. I know I did.

Just Exes is the second book I’ve read by this author, having really enjoyed Just One Night I was looking forward to Just Exes and seeing what Lauren’s own story had to offer.
I don’t read many second chance romance stories as I tend to find the obstacles that keep these couples apart redundant and frustrating. I wasn’t entirely sure what to expect from this book. Just Exes was so much more than a second chance romance and I am glad I cast aside my preconceived notions. I found myself cheering Lauren on from beginning to end and the obstacles that she and Gage faced were nothing less than exciting.
I have to admit I really enjoyed the role Kyle played in the story, he was an excellent friend and his relationship dynamic with Lauren was well played out.
Just Exes has a little bit of everything for the avid reader, danger, drama, passion, romance, the list goes on. I’m definitely looking forward to reading more from Charity Ferrell.

I love Charity Ferrell’s books and this one didn’t disappoint. This particular story had me hooked from the prologue! This is one of those stories that stay with you long after reading it.

This story will definitely take you on one emotional rollercoaster. We meet Gage and Lauren. Both were childhood sweethearts until Lauren walked away right before college. Gage ran off but is now home, bitter, and a cop. He came back home to forget and to heal. Unfortunately, or fortunately, he runs into Lauren (which he had to arrest). Both hate one another and show it but the love and the chemistry is still there. As the time goes on the feelings of attraction grow but both are holding secrets and these secrets can make or break their relationship!

This was a wonderful second chance romance where it does prove that there is a fine line between love and hate!

The story Georgia Pine (Southern Promises Book 3) by K.G. Fletcher is a contemporary romance book. It is the next amazing story in a series. This is a book that draws you in from the very beginning and I didn’t want to put down until I had finished the last page. I just had to know how it ended. I loved reading about the characters of Jessica Kaufman and Tim McGill. Jessica is the mother of four daughters who she wholeheartedly loves. She has always been a hands-on mom. Newly divorced she finds her situation overwhelming. Jessica has been raised a Southern Lady. She knows how to portray a façade of perfection. She also finds herself attracted to the man who does her landscaping. Tim is a man that keeps his head down and stays under the radar. His past has made him seek a quiet life of solitude. He tends to the yards of others and keeps his past a secret. He has also found himself attracted to Jessica. What begins between both Jessica and Tim starts quickly and you can feel the sparks and electricity in the air when they are together. The desire is there and soon the passion is burning bright between them. Will Tim be able to prove that he is able to love not only Jessica but her four daughters as well? What would happen to their relationship if Jessica finds out about his past? Will he be able to hold on to his Southern Belle? Will they find an HEA in their future? Read this book to find out. I grew to love the characters of Tim and Jessica with each chapter that I read. I couldn’t help but cheer them on. I loved that Tim is such a kind-hearted and thoughtful man. He finds himself wanting to protect Jessica. This is a story that has heartwarming scenes and had me with a smile on my face. There are also additional characters that you are introduced to and I enjoyed reading about their part in the book and their interactions with Jessica and Tim. This is a story for anyone who loves romance and one that I would highly recommend reading.

The story The Boss by Abigail Owen is a paranormal romance book that I loved reading. I have always loved shifters and dragon shifters are right up there at the top. They are strong, passionate, and protective. This story drew me in from the very beginning and I didn’t want to put it down until I had read the final page. I loved reading about the characters of Finn Conleth and Delaney Hamilton. Finn is a dragon shifter that vows never to attempt to mate again. A tragedy in the past has made him guard his heart and he will not take that risk again. Then Finn meets Delaney. I like Finn as he is a strong leader. He has strong bonds with his team. It is sad to read about how the past haunts him. Delaney is an intelligent, strong, and independent woman. She also knows that she has failed to escape the freak/suspicious fires that had caused her to move across the country. She knows that she needs help. Even though they just met she has a strong feeling that she can trust Finn. Will he and his team of enforcers be able to stop the one who is starting the fires and keep Delaney safe? Finn and Delaney both feel an attraction towards each other. There is the warm feeling when they touch and there is sparks/electricity that flows between them. He is very protective of her. What they start is a casual hook up, a physical relationship. Will it stay that way? These two have a desire for one another and there is passion between them. What does the future hold for Finn and Delaney? Read this book to find out. This is a story that has action scenes and at times had me wondering what was going to happen next. It does a wonderful job of providing details about the dragon shifters and their culture. There are also many other characters that are introduced, and I enjoyed reading about their part in the story and their interactions with Finn and Delaney. This is an amazing story that I highly recommend reading.

Repressed- Meghan O’Flynn

5-stars

Repressed is another haunting read by Meghan O’Flynn! It’s the third book in the Ash Park series, a series I would recommend reading in order as the series continues with characters that were introduced in book 1. This book, like all of this authors work, is dark, twisted, detailed, action-packed and so suspenseful. From the very first chapter I was pulled in, I read it in one sitting as all of the detail had me sitting on the edge of my seat and I couldn’t want to get answers to all of my questions.

This book followed Detective Morrison, a character that had intrigued me from his first appearance and still does even after reaching the end of this one. Meghan writes with so much emotion and detail that I could picture Morrison’s brain spinning as he tried to decipher what was going on, which made it highly entertaining.

I can’t wait to read more of this series and I would definitely recommend this book to anyone looking for their next crime read!

I love Vampire books and I actually think that this is one of the best that I have read in a long time. The story is fast paced and full of action, there’s romance, there’s danger and there’s some fantastic characters. For me a huge positive (not that there were any negatives apart from it ended) of the story was the amazing descriptive language and brilliant world building the author used and did. I was really immersed into this story because of that and it made it so much more of an exciting read.
I really liked Blaze, he was a really strong character and I connected well with him I felt. The author did a great job with explaining his character and I found myself really empathising with the way he felt. I genuinely wanted the best for him.
I thought Valerie was also a really great character. She was really dedicated to her job and determined to combat Vampires! I could really feel the dilemma she faced when she came across Blaze, he represented everything she has ever hated but also stirred something inside her too.
This is the first book that I have read by this author and it absolutely will not be the last! A fantastic 5 star read that I highly recommend!

This book was just wow. I’m not sure I can actually find the words to write this review about this book. I have read the first two books in the series and I loved them, I really did but this one was just outstanding. The author has truly outdone herself, I was hooked from the very first page it was just so beautifully written. The words just flowed seamlessly and it was such an easy effortless read. I really want to read it all over again!
The characters were fantastic, Jessica and Tim were perfect! They had passion, chemistry and a great connection. I kind of loved that it wasn’t all plain sailing and there were some obstacles that they had to overcome because it made me want them to find happiness all the more! Having met Jessica and her four girls in book 2 I was really looking forward to seeing more of them in this book. I wasn’t disappointed with Jessica and Tim’s story at all. There were some twists in the story as I have come to expect from this talented author.
I would not hesitate to recommend Georgia Pine at all – it was a wonderful 5 star read!

I really enjoyed the authors writing style and her imagination really shone through in the story – I could imagine what I was reading and that always helps me as a reader especially with paranormal stories. I have to say that I was really drawn to the front cover and I don’t usually take much notice of them but this one I really liked.
As soon as I started reading this book I knew I was going to love it, I was pulled in straight away. I loved the main characters Finn and Delaney, they had both been hurt but I could tell there was something there between them. Finn tried his hardest to push Delaney away and I love her tenacity in that she wasn’t going to let that happen. I think that both characters had huge growth over the story which I liked as I felt like I was on the journey with them and I really got to know them.
I am definitely looking forward to reading more from this author and the rest of this series in the future. It was a great 4 star read!

The Last Keeper of the Light: a Dystopian Fantasy by Nikki Broadwell – Review by Elizabeth Sanchez

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The Last Keeper of the Light: a dystopian fantasy is the first book I’ve read by Nikki Broadwell, and I really enjoyed it. I was hooked from the beginning, due to the excellent characters, fascinating plot, and descriptive writing. Then, once Sandal started her journey, I wanted to know where she was being led, and what would happen. I love dystopian stories, and found this one to be unique. I loved the Hopi prophesies twisted into the story line. The story takes place in a post apocalypse world, filled with Raiders, disease, starvation, and no electricity. The character’s main focus in life has become just trying to survive. Sandal is such an amazingly strong character, her will and strive to survive keeps her going during these dark and dangerous times. She has had to go through so much in her short life, and was forced to grow up much faster than any child should have to. The emotions are strong while reading about her love, loss, fear, sadness and strength. The ending is amazing, and not one I saw coming. 5 star book, and I look forward to reading more of Broadwell in the future!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I find myself a little speechless as I have just finished “The Last Keeper of the Light” by Nikki Broadwell. This intense dystopian novel is about Sandal, only a child when the end of days begins, and her life long struggle for survival. Sandal and her people know the grid has gone down but the why is always on her mind. Many times in this book, I see direct correlations to current events in 2018. Nikki Broadwell has woven a beautifully dark tale that rings all too true in parts of the story. Her ability to blend facts with fantasy is wonderful and almost prophetic of a future we may actually be facing. This isn’t a high fantasy filled with creatures that don’t exist, so it’s even scarier for me since the world she laid out is eerily possible. It is a fantasy after all, so some bits you need to keep an open mind about. I’m normally not one to read apocalyptic novels, but the description of this one really hooked me and kept me fascinated until the very end. I wasn’t sure how this book would end but I can tell you I was very surprised. Her vision for this story was truly compelling and even if the ending left me a little out of sorts, I can appreciate how Nikki Broadwell came to it. So, I give “The Last Keeper of the Light” five stars!

Just ExesJust Exes by Charity Ferrell
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

“Just Exes” is the third book in the Blue Beech series by Charity Ferrell but can be read as a standalone as I did. This wonderful story of love, loss and forgiveness is about Gage and Lauren, High school sweethearts who didn’t last. Gage has tried to move on with his life and pursued his dream of becoming a cop while Lauren followed her dream of being an ER nurse. Ten years of space stands between them when they see each other again after Lauren’s apartment complex catches fire and Gage in on the scene, to arrest Lauren. This story is so much more than your normal boy meets girl or boy and girl hate each other(but do they really?) type books I have read in the past. This story is deeper and more emotional than one would think from its description. I couldn’t stop reading this book. I got completely pulled into the story and loved it! The depth of the story and characters was so beautifully written. I can’t say a whole lot more about that because I don’t want to ruin any of it with details here, but do yourself a favor and lose a few hours to this book. As I mentioned, I didn’t read the previous stories in the series about Lauren’s brothers, but after reading this book I think I have to! I love the family that Charity Ferrell has written about and can’t wait to find out more! Five obvious stars to “Just Exes” by Charity Ferrell!

Repressed: An Ash Park Novel (Volume 3) by Meghan O’Flynn

This book has me on the edge of my seat the entire time I read it. It was very emotional for me as well. I was able to relate to Shannon and her new mom struggles. When they are gone and Morrison was going crazy it had me on the verge of tears. This was an excellent novel despite the emotional roller coaster it took me through. It can be read as a standalone and it is definitely one of those amazing books that stays with you after you finish it. I give it 5 stars.

Blind Magic: The Sanctuary Chronicles by India Kells

5 Stars

This is not my first book by this author but it is my first in this series, I had no problem reading this as a standalone but really do wish I had read the first part of this story because I enjoyed this one so much, and I don’t even read this genre, it’s definitely not something I normally choose but when I saw the beautiful cover and read the synopsis and saw who wrote it, I had to have it. I have loved everything I have read by this author which puts her on my list of, it doesn’t matter what the book is about, if her name is on it..I read it, and that was strengthened even more after reading this.

Sera was an awesome character, strong, brave, and not willing to just give up because life threw some bumps in her journey. I loved this group of people and really want to know more of the history that I missed by not reading the first. Ian was awesome and his story was heartbreaking and how he was dealing with all of that was written so well.

The secondary characters were completely awesome…I loved the dialogue between all of them and I absolutely can not wait for Finn and Violet’s story, I loved both of them in this book and it feels like the story in the background is still building, I really want to know more about Hunter and also Patricia’s status and is there just maybe a future story there???

So I highly recommend this book but I recommend starting with the first as I wish I had done just so that I could have gotten more of a history of this group, so will definitely read that one before the next comes out.

Loved It!!!

Just Exes by Charity Ferrell

I loved this story!!! This book gave me all the feels I look for in a good story. I laughed, I cried, I got angry, and I even swooned. Lauren and Gage have so much history, love, and hurt. Can they find their way back to each other? Will Gage trust that Lauren won’t hurt him again. Is he able to tell Lauren the secret he’s keeping from everyone except his dad. Will Lauren tell him the real reason she broke up with him all those years ago.I enjoyed the banter between these two and the sexual tension is off the charts!!! I couldn’t put this book down once I started reading. I became so invested in this story and the characters, that it felt like I was experiencing their lives right along with them. I can’t say enough good things about the feelings I experienced while reading this book. I highly recommend reading this awesome story!!!
