The Jack (The Immortal Series Book Two)The Jack by M.K. Harkins
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

 

The Jack is the second book in The Immortal Series by M.K. Harkins. This is an extremely good New Adult fantasy- full of action mystery, suspense, danger, secrets, emotion, intrigue, and romance. Although you could read this book as a standalone, I really recommend reading The Reader before setting off on this adventure. The Reader is where we meet Archer and what happens in that book really sets the tone and direction of Archer’s story, so having all that information would be highly beneficial, and allow you to fully comprehend the situation, character, motivation, and back story.
I must admit that I was quite interested to see how this story would unfold, especially considering the events in the previous book. I had several scenarios and directions that I thought the story might take. BUT……THERE WAS NO WAY THAT I COULD HAVE EVER PREDICTED ANY OF THE EVENTS IN THIS BRILLIANT STORY!!! WOW!!! My mind is still reeling with it all. I’m still thinking about it several days later. A sure sign of a really great story! Fantastic!
There is quite a lot going on between the covers of this book, and I enjoyed following along as everything played out. I can always rely on Ms. Harkins to deliver a captivating story, no matter the genre, and this story/series is testament to that. It’s been two years since The Reader, but within minutes it was all coming back to me, and I was once more fully immersed in the fantastic world that Ms. Harkins created. Ms. Harkins uses her wonderful word-smithing capabilities to craft interesting and unforgettable characters, as well as an extraordinary world in which her characters, and story, come to life. Her attention to detail, intricately woven plot, descriptive language and phrases, are fantastic- painting my mind with vivid images. Then there were the twists and turns that left me quite speechless- she’s such a clever storyteller!!!!! These incredibly surprising developments really had me in a flipping frenzy, devouring the pages to find out what happens and how it all works out. I was definitely hooked from the very beginning and didn’t set it down until I had consumed the whole thing- reading it in one sitting. That ending! OMG- I wasn’t ready to leave! I need to know more! Please let there be another instalment in the works!!!
As always, I am looking forward to Ms. Harkin’s next book- whatever it may be.

Thank you, Ms. Harkins!

Famished by Meghan O’Flynn – Review by Shannon Fowler

Famished (Ash Park, #1)Famished by Meghan O’Flynn
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

If you love murder mysteries, detectives that never quit, and stories that keep you guessing while turning the pages, then this is a book for you.

Detective Petrosky has a past that we get bits and pieces of throughout the story. It doesn’t seem like a good past, which makes him a hardened cop. But he’s perfect for Ash Park and the killer that’s on the loose.

Hannah has a past of her own, which is why she’s in Ash Park. But the sad thing is her past followed her here. Now people around her are dying.

Meghan O’Flynn is a new to me author so I wasn’t sure what to expect from this story. What a surprise! While this story is gruesome to read it is quite the adventure with surprises at every turn.
Well worth the read. This story is written in every character’s point of view which certainly keeps the mystery going of who the killer might be! There seems to be an awful lot of crazy in these characters heads.

Looking forward to the next book to see where Detective Petrosky and his friends end up!

]The Jack (The Immortal Series Book Two)The Jack by M.K. Harkins
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The Jack is the second novel in the Immortal series by M. K. Harkins. This is my third novel by this author.

A half breed, Archer, is torn between two races, The Jacks which are a race who kill for sports and The Readers, a race that is trying to save mankind.

Years before, Archer betrays the Readers and ever since has been living alone and filled with unrequited love.

But when Archer becomes drawna to Sadie who is not only a Seer but has been given the task of killing him, which side will win? Will Sadie be able to kill him or will her heart sway her from her mission?

I really enjoyed this novel. I love novels where people have forbidden love and are able to overcome the obstacles to finally be happy with someone.

Even though it’s set two years after the first book, I really didn’t feel lost at while reading and was very engaged in the plot.

I liked Archer’s characters who is trying to seek redemption and I loved his journey and really felt for him.

I hope we get another book in the series.

Our Unexpected HopeOur Unexpected Hope by Michelle Sullivan
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

 

Our Unexpected Hope by Michelle Sullivan is a wonderful contemporary romance that’s packed full of emotion, which is definitely something I have come to expect when reading one of Ms. Sullivan’s novels- my emotions will always get an absolute battering, and of course this story was no exception.
I loved ‘Our Next Chapter’, so I was excited to read this book to see how the characters, and storyline, evolve. Although this can be read as a standalone, it does kind of follow-on from our next chapter- so it would be advisable to read that book first, then embark on this read.
Quinn is the daughter of Karalyn and Dez, from ‘Our Next Chapter’- and I was so happy to finally get to know her, especially since her ‘being’ played such a pivotal part in the last book- so to see her relationship with her parents now(especially Dez, and if you read ‘Our Next Chapter you’ll know why this was so special for me), and then following her and Noah through all the highs and some lows, of their story, really was quite moving for me!
Quinn and Noah really are perfect for each other. I joined their cheer squad fairly early on in the story and was cheering them on the whole way. That’s not to say that this was a simple and straightforward journey for them- but I laughed, cried, and felt everything right alongside them. There were heart-aching details, tender, touching, spicy, and romantic moments- that all added up to make this book every bit as good as “Our Next Chapter”!
Another memorable story from Ms. Sullivan.

Thank you, Ms. Sullivan!

This is a Coming of Age-Crime Family story that I couldn’t put down until the last page. This is my favorite yet by this author. I loved how she pulled me into the story from the first word. This is a story about a young girl whose future is to run the Canzano Family. Alessandra is a strong girl who struggles to feel normal in a normal family. There are some emotional situations that pulled at my heartstrings but they make the story into what it is. I highly recommend this book!

The Jack is the second book in the Immortal series by M.K. Harkins. This series is off to an awesome start and can’t wait to see what happens in following books. I love the writing style of this series so far and I really hope the writing style continues throughout the series. It’s the exciting carry on from the reader, which I would highly recommend that you read first. With the Jack we get taken a couple of years in the future, where at the end of the Reader we saw the Jacks were just about made extinct. What I found in the Jack was the characters growth, which makes for an even better book. You will love this book especially if you like all the drama, the suspense and of course what is a book with out some romance thrown in to. I seriously recommend that this series is read, you will love it.

The Boss (Fire's Edge, #1)The Boss by Abigail Owen
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

So. This book is nuts. It’s like riding in a roller coaster car but instead of it being on a track like any normal, sane person would ride on, the car starts at the top of a mountain. The prologue starts as your car tips over the side to see that the trail down is full of switchbacks and you realize pretty quickly into the first chapter that you’re going to be careening down each of those sharper than a pin turns at breakneck speed. Unless you put this book down (highly unlikely) and walk away for a moment to collect your thoughts, the story of Finn and Delaney gives you almost no room to recover from the whiplash of emotions and startling revelations.
Finn is a dragon enforcer, hot as fresh baked bread (and just as delicious), and he’s sealed his heart against the thought of finding a mate. New potential mates are found less and less every year, and the tragedy of what happened to the woman he thought was his mate is literally his own personal torture. I can’t blame him.
Delaney has weird fires starting up around her when she passes out and they’ve followed her. She also has lost loved ones in a tragic accident and has the added bonus of a stalker. Lovely. She has more strength than Finn has ever seen and she will not take the chance that one of these fires will hurt someone.
Finn is drawn to her but he’s concluded she’s just a normal human, right? RIGHT?!?
Also this is book one of a series. Score.

Hidden (Ash Park, #4)Hidden by Meghan O’Flynn
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Hidden by Meghan O’Flynn is the forth book in her Ash Park Series and this one kicks the series into a whole new level of sinister. Hidden takes place two years after Repressed and an old foe has resurfaced. When they fall into Petrosky and Morrison’s radar, but the stress of addiction, stress and guilt is weighing heavily on Petrosky. Could this be the end of the line for him? Will Morrison be able to save her partner or will this be Petrosky’s last case? This twists and turns in this book, and this series as well, will keep you on the edge of your seat from page one until the end. The personal tone to this book, compared to that of the other books was a nice change of pace. Getting to see the facets of each of the cahracters as they evolved really made this a great read for all of the series. Hidden will take you on a long emotional ride that is guaranteed to leave you more than a little raw as it stomps on your heart and then tries to piece it together just to go through the process again. O’Flynn does it again. While I felt like I needed to slow down on reading this book, I still couldn’t seem to put it down. This book will make you want to leave the lights on, and watch for what goes bump in the night. This book gets my highest of high ratings, I completely recommend reading this book in series order as the characters growth from book one until now really made this an excellent read and one that I can’t wait to dive into time and again. I can’t wait to see where O’Flynn takes us from here!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The Boss by Abigail Owen is splendidly written tale of dragon shifters. My first time reading this author’s work was entertaining and oh, so memorable. I didn’t expect to love it quite so much. What a beautiful discovery! These finds are what reinforces my love for words and the immeasurable pleasure I experience when I come across such talent.

Finn and Delaney wholeheartedly captivated me. Their story was intriguing, mysterious and full of sinister characters, loyal friends and a smoking hot couple. The way the book evolved, was very engaging and difficult to put down. I hung off every word, waiting for the next drama to unfold. The longer the story went, the more involved I became. It was stunning to read. It is a severe understatement to say this story was fantastic. It provided so much more than I could possibly put into words. I want to read it again. Immediately.

The Boss was everything and more. Abigail Owen penned a descriptively striking story that has left me with precious and beautiful memories. A favourable one click author to add to my library. 5 wonderfully well deserved stars.

Give and Take (The Thorne Brothers, #2)Give and Take by Lee Kilraine
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Give and Take is the second book in Lee Kilraine’s Thorne Brothers series and my first experience with both the series and Lee Kilraine’s writing. Despite being the second book in the series I didn’t find it difficult to follow the storyline at all having not read book one.
Give and Take was a really strong read for me, I felt that both the main characters were fantastic with the kind of substance that really makes you want what is best for them, you feel invested. Coming from a close knit family that has always been supportive Rhia’s family infuriated me and I really felt an emotional connection to her character, if that isn’t a sign of strong writing I don’t know what is. I loved the character development throughout the storyline and most of all the sincere relationship between Wyatt and Rhia. Both characters are very similar and at their core want what is best for each other, it was nice to read a story with chemistry, wit and emotion while being completely realistic.
I really enjoyed Give And Take and will be going back to read the first Thorne Brothers book in the near future.

Our Unexpected Hope
Michelle Sullivan
4 out of 5 stars

I recently read Our Next Chapter, the story of Quinn’s parents and when I learned that there would be a book dedicated to Quinn’s story I was honestly excited. While Our Next Chapter wasn’t about Quinn, I thought she was a secondary character that really helped make that story.
These books read well as stand alone books and the prologue gives you a brief, but sufficient background anyway so you don’t need to feel like these books should be read in a particular novel. I will say I am someone that enjoys seeing past characters reappear as secondary characters later so I was thankful to have read both books in the order I did.
As the storyline progressed I found Quinn and Noah’s love story to be sweet and wholesome but irritating in how fast things progressed, funny coming from someone that believes “when you know, you know.” I’m not sure when the switch happened for me, but I ended up really coming to appreciate their love story. The obstacles they faced were common for many couples and incredibly relatable but not something I read in many novels giving Our Unexpected Hope a really fresh feel for me.
Overall the book was very well written and full of pure emotion. I love the family dynamic between Quinn, her parents and even Noah and I love that Dez and Karalyn were so tightly woven into this story. I will definitely be keeping an eye out for more from Michelle Sullivan.

Give and Take (The Thorne Brothers, #2)Give and Take by Lee Kilraine
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Give and Take (The Thorne Brothers) by Lee Kilraine had me hook, line and sinker. The story is well paced, flowed easily and packed a punch. Emotions run high in this book and at times I wanted to cry and others I was laughing out loud. The characters mad me love them all and just cracked me up. This story shows that families come in all shapes and sizes and even broken ones can be more than “whole” ones. The hurt and suffering and vulnerabilities that each and every one of this family of Brothers endured, are both heart aching and heart wrenching but together they are whole, well as much as they can be, as long as they have each other. ​I loved the bonds between them and their different, yet winning personalities and their playful and heart warming crazy banter. When opposites attract, coming together makes sparks fly and hearts fill. Can’t wait to read the rest of this series.

I’m still catching my breath. This action packed thriller had me white knuckles for most of its pages. The characters are strong and engaging. The author does a fantastic job drawing the reader immediately in and having them quickly become invested in the fate of each character. It was fast paced and richly detailed. I thoroughly enjoyed it and will gladly recommend it to others.

Silk Road (Code Raven Series Book #6) by Lynda Filler – Review by Angela Hayes

SILK ROAD (Code Raven, #6)SILK ROAD by Lynda Filler
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

 

“What do you know about the Silk Road?”
“Are you referring to the old Silk Road trading routes? If you are, the Silk Road was an ancient network of trade routes connecting the East and West which for centuries was central to the cultural interaction between them. The Silk Road also refers to both the terrestrial and the maritime routes connecting Asia with the Middle East and southern Europe. Today, of course, it’s the new China Railway Corp route to England. It will cut ground shipping to half the time of the maritime routes. The cost of shipping goods into Europe will fall considerably making Chinese exports/imports even more viable to its trading partners in Russia and Europe.”
“Hmmm.”
“Why do you ask?”
“I heard Ivanov’s men talking about the Silk Road. I’m not sure of the significance, but it’s too much of a coincidence to ignore. Let me search around and see what I come up with.”

Silk Road is the sixth book in the Code Raven series by Lynda Filler. As we have discovered in the previous book/s, this series centres around the Raven Group, which is a top-secret, special ops team who help to keep the world a safer place- and the series chronicles the action-packed missions they embark on. This latest mission may just be the most challenging one yet.
The story starts with Luke whisking Samaar(Luci) away to the Maldives for a much-needed break and Zach headed to Washington Dc after a call from his friend Mike, a former Navy SEAL buddy, who needs his help. Himanish is in Geneva doing what he does best, keeping tabs on everything, and starts to put some worrying pieces together. Children are going missing from all around the world, mostly from remote areas, leaving their families devastated. So, when these abductions hit closer to home for members of the team- Luke Raven will do everything in his power to get to the bottom of it all and return the children to their families. This truly is an international mission, taking the team from Canada to Paris, The Maldives, Geneva, Washington DC, China, Tel Aviv, London, and even to Kyrgyzstan in central Asia as they try to uncover who’s been behind a wave of human kidnapping. The team pulls together, digging deep, using all their skills, contacts and networks to follow the trail- as the case becomes more complicated than they ever imagined.
We catch up with characters we know and love, as well as meeting some new ones. I love that each book in this series allows me to get to know the (recurring) characters a little bit better each time. I love watching the relationship between Luke and Samaar/Luci (and adorable Alice) develop more in this book. The little bit of romance and some touching and tender moments helped to lighten the darker topics covered in the storyline.
This is definitely one of my favourites of the series, so far. The story was an action-packed adventure, with dramatic developments, danger, abduction, intrigue, suspense, human trafficking, drug cartels, life and death situations, high stakes risk, covert ops, high-tech gadgets, social and political issues, camaraderie, friendship, bonds, romance, depravity, heart-aching situations, and so much more
I am really enjoying this series, which just seems to get better and better with each new instalment! I am really looking forward to my next adventure with the Raven Group!

Thank you, Ms. Filler!

This is my second book by this author and she blew me away with In The Pursuit of Charity, and then I read this one…I absolutely loved everything about this story. It deals with some real life things and some real life feelings and the start of this book totally threw me off, I was like hold it, I have to go back and read the synopsis LOL Then once it got going it made perfect sense.

Kennedy and Max…I don’t even know where to begin with these two, he was everything i want in a male lead and she was so completely awesome and so real as far as her feelings and her inner dialogue. I loved the way they interacted and OMG the “may I have this dance” took my breath away…and I want a Hank, no, correction I need a Hank 🙂

I absolutely love this author..Not sure what it is about her style but for me it is spot on and every word on every page was needed, no filler fluff stuck in there to make the story longer..It was awesome!

I absolutely can not wait to read more from this author and if you haven’t read anything by her yet, do yourself a favor and pick this book up, I just know you will love this as much as I did.

Amazingly Awesome!

Redemption (Ash Park #5)
By Meghan O’Flynn
Rated 4 stars

Ed Petrosky is a crochety old detective, who has been imagining his last days for a while now. He struggles mentally and physically to make it through every day. After losing his daughter and partner he is planning on seeing them again soon. Can his new partner and a youngster from Vermont make him whole again? What about Shannon and the kids? He can’t shut everyone out.

Finally….Finally someone who doesn’t take Petroskys crap!! I love this lady/Petrosky’s new partner already! She is quick, smart and has an aura or some might call an attitude. I was worried about Petrosky. He has had some horrible thoughts these last few books. They were becoming more prominent. Hopefully this *new* partner can “shake him out of his funk”….as Shannon would say.

The murder of Petrosky’s daughter Julie has haunted him through all the series. He was never able to find out who killed her. Thinking about her has led him down dark paths thinking he failed her. Will he finally get his redemption?

This is a good book but not my favorite of the series. There was too much inner dialogue or demons to contend with. The story was solid and a fitting ending for the series. I miss the characters that make me smile while reading all the sick and twisted scenes. They kind of balanced out the darkness.

Michael's HeartMichael’s Heart by Lori Thomas Harrington
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Michael’s Heart by Lori Thomas Harrington is a romance novel with a focus on music and the afterlife. Musician Colbie is nearly killed in a car crash and has a second brush with death on the operating table. When her heart stops, she encounters Michael who may just be the soul mate she’s been searching for.
The narrative jumps around in time, giving us flashbacks that fill in the background as the story unfolds. There’s a fair bit of mystery that unravels over the course of the story. It keeps you hooked as there’s always more to uncover!
I really like the way Colbie is written, and how she interacts with the many supporting characters. I particularly like Lyric, her daughter, Ali, her friend and Dani, her sister. While it is a romance novel, it celebrates many different kinds of love which is lovely to read.
The musical side of things adds an interesting dimension to the story. It’s wonderful to read about how Colbie experiences music – it encourages me to rethink how I’m listening to music!
I give this book four stars. It’s a moving story, and great if you want something that will take you on an emotional journey.

The story Silk Road: Code Raven 6 by Lynda Filler is an amazing book that I loved reading. It has action/adventure and a cast of characters that is I enjoyed reading about. It also has mystery and suspense that had me on the edge of my seat wondering what was going to happen next. It is a page-turner. I have read several books in this series and they never disappoint. This story has a theme about wrongs that are endured by the innocent. There are those being reported as missing and in some places, the officials that should be out in the front lines trying to get them back are ignoring the pleas of their parents. The story made me angry with how there are those who inflict terror and inhumane treatment on the innocent. The book has Luci, Luke, and others in the Raven group up against those who have no regard for the lives of others. There are also those who ally themselves with the Raven group. There are two young children taken and one female teenager that is missing. Will they be found and rescued? Read this book to find out. This story also has a bit of romance that is going on between Luke and Luci. Luke is finding himself opening up his heart to Luci. There are moments in this story that will warm your heart. Don’t miss out on this thrilling book in the Raven series. It is wonderfully written and a story I would highly recommend reading.

Give and Take (The Thorne Brothers, #2)Give and Take by Lee Kilraine
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Give and Take is the perfect title for this book by Lee Kilraine. Every person who likes color in their life needs some beige to balance them out and the same can be said for a person who likes too much beige. We all know what happens when you put two people who are like night/day in a small space together; they banter like children and you could cut the sexual tension with a knife. And that was Wyatt Thorne and Rhia Hollis. I really like both of these characters, but the first two times they meet were awesome. I loved how Rhia would add touches to Wyatt’s office just for color. Wyatt’s brothers were always good for some extra comic relief too.
Even behind all the drama you still get the hint of family togetherness and the bond between these brothers. I will defiantly be going back and reading the first book to find out how they learned about the sister and really looking forward to continuing this series – I need more Thorne brothers!

The Boss by Abigail Owen is a paranormal story about Dragon shifters. I have to say that I love stories that have mythical creatures and even better when they are human/mythical creatures. This story is a fast pace read. If you start this story you will be pulled into the story and will be hard pressed to put it down until the very last word. Abigail Owen does an amazing job keeping the story moving but having a great amount of detail. Finn is a dragon shifter, who has only one mate for life. Finn has had his mate but has lost her and vows never to get so close to anyone else. Well then there is Delaney who is a spit fire. She is a woman who know what she wants and will go after it. She does have a great personality and Finn is trying to keep his distance. Will Delaney get Finn to lower his shield around his heart? I cannot wait to see what comes next.

Tomb for an Eagle (Orkneyinga Murders, #1)Tomb for an Eagle
By: Lexie Conyngham
My Rating: 4 of 5 stars

Tomb for an Eagle (Orkneyinga Murders, #1) by Lexie Conyngham was a thrilling tale of murder, suspense, and of course trying to find who did the deed.

My first read by this author, I jumped right in, as I love me a good murder mystery. Sadly to say I didn’t get a good murder mystery.. no, I. Got. A. Amazing. One! This book kept me guessing till the end and I’m so happy that I was left in dark as possible, because when you get the answer you’re going to be racking your brain trying to figure out what you missed.

I’m not going to give anything away, no spoilers here. But you must know that the writing is detail, engaging, and smooth. It keeps your attention, and simply sucks you into the world that Lexie Conyngham has created. I hardly looked up from this tale. I felt like I was there, apart of the mystery and suspense. I started to get just as suspicious as the townspeople, and at one point I was questing our MC. You can’t look away in fear you’ll miss something important. I found myself reading a little slower, to try and piece this puzzle together.

Overall this book is worth your time and energy. If you love mysteries this book will be right up your ally. Even if you don’t, this book will still capture you. This is the book to break you out of your comfort zone, or even to break you out of a funk. So please take my super high recommendation and my stamp of approval, that you will not only love this book, but be begging for more.

Happy Reading

Hidden: An Ash Park Novel (Volume 4) by Meghan O’Flynn – Review by Erin Davidson

Hidden (Ash Park, #4)Hidden by Meghan O’Flynn
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Hidden is the fourth volume in Meghan O’Flynn’s Ash Park series. The story is gripping, and will have you staying up all night with paranoia. The book is intense and not for the fainthearted, as it pulls you in to a haunting tale of mystery and murder. Just when you thought it was safe to go outside, this book sends you ducking back under the covers, and thinking everyone is a killer.
I immensely enjoyed this book, as it can be read as a standalone, though you don’t quite get the full picture, and miss out on small things. But the book is so well done, that you can just pick it up and go. I absolutely adored Ms. O’Flynn’s lyrical writing, and the way she paints a scene in your head; making sure to not leave out any gory details. I found myself completely absorbed in this book, and unable to look away from the horrors that were depicted before me. I really enjoyed this story and want to go back and read all the others, and pick up all the small details.
This book is masterfully written and is a solid 5/5 stars.

Romance in Rehoboth Boxed Set (Books 1-3) by K.L. Montgomery – Review by Emily Walsh

Romance in Rehoboth Boxed Set (Books 1-3)Romance in Rehoboth Boxed Set
By: K.L. Montgomery
My Rating: 5 of 5 stars

Romance in Rehoboth Boxed Set (Books 1-3) by K.L. Montgomery is a light hearted, good feel collection, that features a great selection of MC’s, that are, you know, actually normal people.

I love this series, it has good laughs, good messages and it has like I said, real normal people, as the leads. I’m talking, that you could pass these people on the street and not think twice. They aren’t the embodiment of greek gods, they aren’t perfect, and that makes this series all the more enjoyable and it makes you connect with them on a human leve. It was refreshing, and just, amazing.

As I have review these books separately, I’m going to give you the highlights from each, you can get what I’m putting out.

Fat Girl: “Reading this book hit home with me, and in truth I wish I would have read it sooner. I connected with Claire, I know her struggles and, damn some of things that went through he head.. I can relate. It’s so real it makes me feel this book was written with personal experience, or it was researched so well, that no detail was spared. “

The Flip: “Sonnet, she was strong willed, smart and determined. I like her, and I loved seeing her slowly loosen up, the more time she spent in the house, with Drew and, interacted with her crazy neighbours. She had a spark about her that made reading about her and Drew’s growing friendship/something, all the more fun and enjoyable.”

Plot Twist: “Lindy, she is our female MC. She isn’t your normal female protagonist, for one, she’s plus size, two, she isn’t the so called “natural beauty” that makes every man or woman, in the room turn their heads. She’s a realistic character, that fits with what normal woman, look like and feel. I have seen some stunning woman in my life, and never had I seen the goddess like creatures that are portrayed in most romance novels. So reading about this normal everyday woman, made this book more than enjoyable, but real. Because no matter what movies, TV, and social media wants to make you believe, the big girl can get that hot guy. I’ve seen it, and it’s about time it’s reflected in entertainment.”

There is a fourth book called Badge Bunny, so when you get these pretties read you can continue the fun, and follow our beloved character in that book. It’s just as good as these, and I really hope there is more to come from the people of Rehoboth.

There is nothing else left to say only that I give this series my super high recommendation and my stamp of approval. It’s everything you’ve been wanting for in a romance series.

Happy Reading

Romance in Rehoboth Boxed Set (Books 1-3)Romance in Rehoboth Boxed Set by K.L. Montgomery
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I loved the Romance in Rehoboth series. Fat Girl is the more practical love story, and focuses a bit more on how Claire grows to love herself. Really all of these cast some sort of light on body image and confidence, and it makes them that much more relatable to me. The Flip was more of a fun enemies to lovers situation, it was humorous but heartfelt. In Plot Twist, I really connected with Lindy. The way she tried to fade into the background, when she’s meant to shine. The way her friends don’t know how to act when she changes. These books were entertaining with a powerful message of self acceptance, and enjoyable love stories. I’m a big fan of this series.

The Boss (Fire's Edge, #1)The Boss by Abigail Owen
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The Boss, by Abigail Owen, is the first book in the Fire’s Edge series. This paranormal romantic suspense novel features dragon shifters and fire abounds! I liked how the author set the stage for the story and how events unfolded. The introduction of the main and supporting characters was thorough and not overwhelming, fitting seamlessly in. Finn and Delaney were perfect, from their personalities, to how they met and the sparks that were sizzling – it was amazing. The drama that is introduced into this story to set up the series was well thought out and laid out in the book. Abigail Owen immediately drew me into this story, garnering my interest and maintaining to the extent that I enjoyed it and I look forward to reading what’s coming next in this series!

Small Town Hero (Small Town Brides, #1) by Kim Koby – Review by Chantelle Smith

Small Town Hero (Small Town Brides, #1)Small Town Hero by Kim Koby
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Small Town Hero is Book 1 in the Small Town Brides Series From author Kim Koby.

This was my first read from this author and won’t be my last. This author has a great writing style and knows how to draw you in with her characters backstories and plots.

This was a quick, romantic read that had a brilliant plot line and wonderful characters that you are immediately drawn to and love reading about and following their journey. This is a quick read that draws you and holds you captivated till the end.

Rebecca has just witnessed the most heartbreaking thing she never expected to see – but what she never expected was that fate would intervene and change her life in a matter of days. Ryan was never expecting that the random girl at the gas station would inevitably change his life for the better, and develop a connection that neither of them has ever felt before.

Even though this book didn’t feel rushed and was full of brilliant things, and I thoroughly enjoyed the book from start to finish – I personally felt that the circumstances revolving around Ryan & Rebecca relationship, was brilliant to see and that they had an undeniable connection from the start, but the events that continue to unfold felt unrealistic to me, too fast – even if they were perfect for each other. Another thing that stumped me was how abruptly it stopped – I expected to enjoy more about their relationship but it just stopped and got the book set up for the commencement of Book 2 (which I must say I am looking forward to reading).

I can’t wait to read Book 2 in this series to see whether the characters are just as brilliant as this one – this is a brilliant read that you shouldn’t miss.

The Nearness of You by K.G. Fletcher – Review by Liz Vrchota

The Nearness of YouThe Nearness of You by K.G. Fletcher
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

“What more can I give to you? Whatever you want. I’ll even fly you to the moon if you should ask…”
She smiled looking up into his face, the last beautiful colors of the sunset illuminating her radiant expression. “I only ask for one thing.”
“What is it my love?”
“The nearness of you… always.”

Be still my heart… Ugh this book ripped me apart, in all the right ways. I really shouldn’t be surprised by now with K.G. Fletcher, she blows me out of the water every time with her novels. I must confess though, this one has to be my absolute favorite of hers. I think the playlist (included in the back of the novel) playing on repeat while I devoured this was just the icing on the cake for me. I would highly recommend that you play it to enhance your experience. I had a feeling I would love this when I found out it was loosely based off of one of Fletcher’s cabaret pieces but my word I had no idea just how much. If I could rate this more stars I would. It is definitely in my top ten reads of 2018!

Lauren Rose, I just loved her. She is an old soul, a lot like myself, and I could really connect with her. She is a lounge singer and has a passion for music. She wants to make it big but for now has been happy living her life in Atlanta. Everything is about to change when she meets the very handsome David Randle.

David pretty much has it all, and a bag of chips. Yup, I can’t really say much negative about this man. He is a British super-model, and a sweetheart. I’ll take three please… He had no idea what he was getting himself into when he started to fall for the girl with the dreamy voice performing at his sister’s wedding. These two are perfect together and the magic brings the music to life right off the screen of your kindle. I couldn’t put it down.

Don’t’ worry though, things are not so fairy-tale perfect. K.G. keeps you on your toes! Things get really interesting when we meet David’s assistant Sabrina Watson. This will story will be a world wind, steamy, intriguing, and heartwarming read you won’t want to put down till you finish it in one sitting. I personally can’t wait to go back and read it again. Thanks so much for another great read K.G. Fletcher!
