The Nearness of You is a fantastic romance read by K.G. Fletcher. It’s a love story that took me on an emotional roller coaster ride of emotions. From the very first chapter I was captivated by Lauren and David, their chemistry was simply undeniable which held my attention the whole way through.
I really appreciated all of the detail that this author used, from past moments and feelings, surroundings and emotions it was all there making the story flow seamlessly. This is a book I know I’ll be reading again and for that reason I would recommend it to anyone looking for their next romance read.
I look forward to reading more from this author in the future!

WOW!! What a whirlwind! I picked up “Our Unexpected Hope” today and couldn’t put it down until I was done! Quinn is in her early twenties and helps her dad run their photography company. She has never had a real relationship, but knows exactly what she wants in life after seeing her how in love her parents are. Noah is the head chef of a restaurant that Quinn frequents and has gazed from afar until she comes in for a photo shoot and he changes their lives forever. Their whirlwind romance is a beautiful read. The time together might be short, but the time spent is quality time. I can’t give away any details, but these two really get put through it! I nearly cried about four times, and I NEVER cry when I read! If you want a sweet but serious romance, this is the book for you! Just have the tissues ready! I really loved the journey these two went on to get to the end, again no details, but it’s very fitting. I give Michelle Sullivan’s “Our Unexpected Hope” five teary eyed stars!

Strong female character in an Arthurian tale? Sign me up. Fionna is a fierce and talented warrior who is the key to breaking the fae curse that Arthur and his Knights are up against. I was hooked from start to finish. I have always enjoyed Arthurian legends and this is my first RH novel so it was pretty interesting to add to the mix of what I’ve already consumed in terms of Arthurian literature. The story is told from several different POV characters, which I’ve always thought helps to flesh out characters. I also like that although Fionna is a strong willed character, she doesn’t have that irritating trope of getting in over her head to prove herself and then needing to be rescued like any old damsel in distress. It was kind of annoying that everyone seemed to fall in love with her like they’d never seen a woman before but I guess it fits in with the timeline/history/ story that the whole thing is based around. Can’t wait for the next book!

K.L. Montgomery’s Romance in Rehoboth Boxed Set (Books 1-3) includes Fat Girl, The Flip and Plot Twist. I’ve read of the books within this set and each was thoroughly enjoyable – highly recommend. Here’s a summary of my thoughts of each of these books in this boxed set.
Fat Girl Fat Girl, by K.L. Montgomery, is Claire Sterling’s story. She is almost 40, divorcing her husband, moving back home, and veering back into the dating scene via online. However, she fears that she will always be a fat girl.
Most of us can relate to this story in some shape or form. We have all looked in the mirror at one point and seen ourselves as others do, some piece of disappointment in ourselves. A failed marriage with a cheating ex-husband and now being a single mom venturing back into dating trying for a new relationship. Insecurities abound and trying to find a way to respect herself and love herself inside and out.
K.L. Montgomery touches on real life issues. It is in your face, right there in front of you, in black and white on the pages. Claire’s character definitely has many roadblocks in her life that she has to knock down, move around or avoid. She’s courageous to move into dating at a later age and the unknowns of whether a person is truthful or hiding something. There were many times in the midst of reading this story that I wanted to sit right next to Claire and ask her what would you tell me… and then, don’t you think you should do the same for yourself?
Fat Girl offers several laughable moments. If you aren’t quite sure on your next book to read, I would recommend this book as everyone should be able to relate to some piece or part of this story.
The Flip The Flip, by K.L. Montgomery, is the second book in the Romance in Rehoboth series. This romantic comedy features Andrew and Sonnet with their relationship shifts from that of high school dynamics of dislike to something that changes in a way neither of them anticipated.
The characters are well developed and I felt that their chemistry flowed smoothly and was not forced. I honestly enjoyed their antics in the story. This author does a good job in their writing for this series/story. I did previously read Fat Girl, the first book of the series. The Flip was as good as the previous book and I loved the characters of Andrew and Sonnet. K.L. Montgomery is great at romantic comedies and kept me on my toes and laughing through this novel. The story was addictive and a true page turner.
Plot Twist K.L. Montgomery’s Plot Twist is the third novel in the Romance in Rehoboth series. The author overlaps several characters that appeared previously in the series in subsequent books as supporting cast members. I enjoyed how these characters overlapped between books. Within Plot Twist, the main cast includes Meric and Lindy; this romantic comedy has all the major elements, to have you laughing to wiping stray tears, to wondering what in the heck that last conversation was?! The build up in this story was well paced and created allure and intrigue into possibly where the author was planning to take these main characters and when they would peak and/or plummet. The story was fun, inspirational, and everything in between.

Montgomery – Review by Heather Bahm
The Nearness of You is fast paced, David and Lauren feeling the L word right away, even if they wait to say it. They are magnetically drawn to each other from the first night, him inviting her to a family wedding the next day! Of COURSE dating a famous person isn’t easy and there are obstacles. The last of which is his busy schedule. His assistant was a heartless evil gremlin of a woman, who I wished many bad things upon throughout the story. Things get pretty emotional in my opinion, but it all works out with a happy ending. I was entertained and pulled in by these two lovebirds.

Small Town Hero is a sweet, whirlwind romance. Ryan seems mostly down to earth, sincere, and sweet. I do feel he’s a bit impulsive, jumping into things the way he does in this story. Rebecca has just gotten blindsided and lost everything that defines her in this moment. Even though it’s for the better and her personality even shines brighter after it all, I kind of wish she wasn’t so fast to jump in both feet with Ryan. It’s like running from one relationship to jump into another fully formed, super serious commitment. But these two do fall hard and fast and it’s worth it all in the end, which sneaks up on you.

Must Love Fashion is book one in the Darling Cove series by Deborah Garland. This is my first time reading this author’s work, so I was keen to get started. It is always such a delight to find a talented author to disappear into, and I hit the jackpot with this author.
Gwen and Andrew clash horns over their public relations duties and the tension, attraction and competition runs rampant between them. In the fast paced Fashion house where they work together, there is a myriad of dramatic elements that both captivate and entertain. This story offers so many thrills, spills and pandemonium. It also pulled the heartstrings. Must Love Fashion has a little of everything that will appeal to every taste in literary genius. 5 stars

Small Town Hero is my first experience with Kim Koby’s writing and it also happens to be Small Town Bride book one. I wasn’t sure entirely what to expect with this book but overall I found that I enjoyed it. I was drawn to the storyline fairly quickly, I liked how the book started with a lot of emotion and kicked off right away. While the book wasn’t slow to kick off, I did feel like it took quite some time for me to connect with Rebecca. If I’m being honest I am still not entirely sure how I feel about her character. As far as characters go, I did really love Ryan from the start and despite my feelings toward Rebecca, the chemistry between the two in this story was really sweet and undeniable. Small Town Hero was short and fast paced and honestly kept me on my toes emotionally. I liked that the obstacles Ryan and Rebecca faced were realistic and relatable, really showing that “Trust was vital when it came to love.” I would recommend Small Town Hero to anyone that enjoys short, clean romances and after the way Kim Koby ended this book I am looking forward to reading more in the series. This doesn’t have a cliffhanger ending, Kim Koby just sets us up well for who will be the next to share their story.

I loved this book! Every book in this series keeps getting better and better. In this book, we get to see Mouse’s story. He doesn’t think he needs a woman in his life until he meets Mariana. He is instantly attracted to her and wants to learn more about her. What will happen when she needs his help? I read this book in one sitting, I couldn’t wait to see what happens with them. I loved these two and the connection they had, their chemistry was awesome. Mouse’s story is a must read!
I loved this book! This is the first book in this series and I can’t wait to read the next one. This story has a little bit of everything in it from romance to sitting on the edge of your seat suspense. I loved how this author pulled me into her story right from the beginning and made me feel as if I was part of the story. This is a story about woman who was close a crime boss is now in protective custody but he is still out there so will she ever really be safe? This is a must read story!
WOW! What a way to end a series! Redemption is Book 5 in the Ash Park Series by Meghan O’Flynn. I wasn’t sure what to expect from this book seeing as though the last one left you a little worried. Detective Ed Petrosky has lost his partner and the son he never had. Now that Shannon is moving on with the kids, what does he do? That is the constant question that keeps remaining throughout the entire book. However, in true Meghan O’Flynn style, she has a twist for us. A new partner for Petrosky! And this one is a loop that you did not see coming! I’m not going to go in detail because I want you to be surprised but let’s just say Petrosky is way out of his league on this one! But you will definitely love it! I know I did. I absolutely loved this book as well as I did the others! I would definitely read this series in order because it ends up being one ongoing story. This author has really impressed me with her writing style and raw nature that you do not tend to see very often! I’m glad this series has come to my attention and I truly cannot wait to read more from her! It isn’t easy writing murder mystery and to do it so well and to be able to keep one’s attention through 5 books is amazing! Well done Ms. O’Flynn! You have done this series and this genre proud!

The Nearness of You by K. G. Fletcher is a romantic story that leaves you feeling good. You will be hooked from the first page. This is the story of Lauren, a lounge singer and David, a British Super Model. The first time they meet you feel the the sparks flying. David’s assistant is not very happy with this budding romance. It is due to the fact that he has a crazy busy schedule and romance will get in the way. Who is going to win this battle, work or love?
K.G. Fletcher has another hit with The Nearness of you! The story leaves you feeling happy and believing in romance. The characters were easy to connect with and very believable. Her writing is descriptive and flows with ease. I highly recommend The Nearness of You!

5 Star Must have Faith ( Darling Cove Book 2) by Deborah Garland is the second book in her Darling Cove series. This is about second chances and I couldn’t stop reading till I finished. We met Greg and Faith in the first book and this is their story . These were just a few days from getting married until Faith left him at the Alt now ten years later. Are there feelings for one another still as strong? Can these two get a second chance at love ? I highly recommend reading this book. Can’t wait to read the next book in this series

Incredible. Fans of the Legend of King Arthur will surely appreciate this novel and the complexities of it. What’s also great about this novel is the characterization. Fionna is unstoppable and incredible, and such a strong female character, very different from the usual damsels in distress that are common in Arthurian retellings. However, her story goes beyond just representing a strong female character; it also goes to the twist in the narrative surrounding Gwenevere. It’s an interesting set-up and plot twist for the story and sets up great tension in the story as it unfolds. Readers know the eventual outcome, anyone who knows about Arthur, Lancelot and Gwenevere see the result, but the journey there, the twist to that ending makes it captivating because there are so many avenues this story and plot twist could take, making it unpredictable.
Nevertheless, the story is about more than Fionna; it’s about the Arthurian legend and how it comes to life.
Sundin and Luana knew what they were doing when they decided to make this story a reverse harem. It’s a new genre that is gaining more and more traction as of late because its concept is to have one female character and have multiple men fall in love with her. Now, there are many ways this genre can be taken, in some ways, depending on the writer, it’s clear that the goal is to create something more erotic, lacking focus on storytelling. But then you have some incredible works that develop the genre and ground it, focusing on the story and character building. This is one of those novels. The romance doesn’t overwhelm the novel; it works to create tension and build the foundation of the story. The emotion in the story, the overwhelming sense of desire and love, the different analogies like “someone smelling like home,” they all work in tandem with one another to make sure the depth keeps the romance from falling into something cheesy or dated.
I’ll say this, I’ve never read a reverse harem novel, to be honest, didn’t think it would be my cup of tea, but like with any story, as long as it has powerful writing behind it and grounded storytelling, any genre can be anyone’s cup of tea. This novel is proof of that.
Love, Christmas – Movies You Love (The Holiday Series Book 2 is an amazing collection of short stories by various authors including Tamara Ferguson, Suzanne Jenkins and Natalie Ann. I enjoyed each of the the stories I read but decided to spotlight a few by authors that are new to me.
A Royal White Christmas by Leanne Banks
Holly’s life is already in chaos, she is helping run her brothers farm. She meets the handsome stranger thanks to Brandi the Beagle.
I’m a sucker for any story that features a dog, but I’m partial to dogs that remind me of dogs I know and Brandi reminded me of my sister in laws dog Westley. Always getting into some and escaping. Very sweet ending.
Miracle on Christmas Tree Street by Alicia Street
Hannah and her daughter Abbie are starting a new life by running her Aunt’s Bed and Breakfast. After she gets there she finds all sorts of unusual little things happening all of which lead to a Christmas miracle and a happy ending.
The Holiday (Christmas) by Nancy Radke
Jodie is spending the holidays in one of the most beautiful places I have had the pleasure of going to, Hawaii. She is trying to escape a lot but has no clue what she’s going to find when she gets there.
This was another great story with a happy ending.
If you’re looking for great short stories to start getting you into the Christmas spirit then I would suggest you start reading now.

Sailors Knot is the fourth book in the Eastern Shore Swingers series by Phoebe Alexander and so far my favorite. I loved learning about Casey’s life long before the club came about.
Casey is one of those characters that I would like to be like is a lot of ways. She’s beyond confident and comfortable with who she is as a whole. If I had an eighth of her confidence I would be a happy woman.
The flash backs to the time when Casey was her happiest were some of the hottest scenes I can recall reading ever. I also loved reading about Leah and Paisley and getting caught up with them.
Ms. Alexander is on to something with this series and hope she doesn’t plan on ending it any time soon.

This is the first book that I have read by this author. When I first started reading it I thought I would have a hard time getting into it but before I knew it, I was already half way through the book. Michael’s Heart is a story that will show you that there is hope for all who is looking for love. This author is an amazing writer. This is a story will show you that there is hope for all those looking for love. You will not be disappointed with Michael’s Heart.

5 Star The Nearness of You By K.G. Fletcher is by far my favorite book by her,I’ve read several books by this author and love them all. I had a hard time putting this down once I started reading it. I love this author’s style of writing and her ability to make you feel as if you are right along side the characters. Her characters are very real and connectable. I just love David and Lauren. There are a few twists and turns that I didn’t really see coming but I had to see what happened next. I highly recommend this book and look forward to reading more from this Author.

Love, Christmas – Movies you love was a great 5 star read. I loved this book and the 26 stories within the pages.
These are all new romance stories from so many great authors. Some were new authors for me and there were favorites as well. I love the twist on holiday movies with these stories, my emotions were all over the place with each of them. You can take your time and read a story here and there or sit and read them all at once. They range from second chance romance to historical romance and so much more.
A Wonderful life was an emotional read for me. Noel is about to make a drastic decision, he has too many people that will be impacted by his choice and his guardian angel couldn’t let him follow through with it. Than he meets Mary and things change for him. He was saved to help Mary and protect her. Will they get a HEA?
I was a mess reading Finding Love. When Lucy goes to her father’s cabin for Christmas. Lucy lost her father to a plane crash and being at the cabin makes her feel close to him. Then she meets Maverick the next door neighbor. Maverick feels like he’s known Lucy from all the stories her father shared with him. These two end up having sparks between them and develop some feelings. Will they have a HEA?
A Christmas Getaway pulled me right in and brought me to tears once again. Ryder goes on a ski trip to sulk in booze and get away. When he gets to the cabin he discovers it was double booked to Olivia and her son. He wasn’t happy about the situation. We learn as we move forward some of Ryder’s history, have the kleenex ready.
There are so many more great stories and I highly recommend you 1-click and get reading. I look forward to reading more from all of these authors. What a great way to get in the holiday mood.

Eternal Bloom Book 2 By A.E. Gamrat Eternal Bloom is book two in this wonderful series. Like with most good series book two picked up perfectly from book one. So now we have Gwen making her way in life since she has finished college, you will find in this transition it will cover everything from what being an adult is to love, family and what she is looking at career wise. In book two you will find that you can still easily connect with Gwen, you might even get to like her mum a little bit. What I really liked about these two books is the friendship between Lena and Gwen, I really like the way that throughout all their friendship stayed strong, seemed real and it may have you feeling that you can feel the love these two girls seem to have for each other. Nothing better than being close to characters in a book. Makes the storyline so much more. You will love these two books but remember to read them in order.

Love, Christmas is a mix of 26 magical stories, that happen to revolve around Christmas time. Each story is well written with characters just wanting a little Christmas love.
Tamara Ferguson has captured my heart with Two Hearts Home for Christmas. This story is part of her Two Hearts Wounded Warrior series. It is book 9. This story is about Nancy and John, who find each other when they are just seniors in high school. Each planned to enlist in the military. Of course, they couldn’t enlist in the same branch, that would be too easy and not what the Two Hearts Wounded Warrior series is all about. After several years apart Nancy and John are hoping to find each other again. They must meet back at DragonFly Pointe in hopes that a little Christmas magic has kept their love alive.
Can She Get Home for Christmas? is written by Rebecca York. This is my first story by York and I can not wait to read more. She too captured my heart with her story of Samantha and Jax. Jax is keeping secrets and I hope Sam can handle them when she finds out. They certainly have a little mystery unfolding in their lives. I look forward to reading about what happens to them because this story is not finished!
Each story brings you something different but just like the movies they are written like, you get an enjoyable story with new characters and adventures. I suggest you get this anthology as it is full of stories that will touch your heart.

New Bloom is book one in this series which consists of two books by AE Gamrat. Having read both books it is highly recommended that they are read in order, reason being you really do need to have a background of the storyline. There is nothing about these books that I didn’t like, both books are so easy to follow, they flow perfectly. There are a lot of emotions everything from friendship to pain and anger. I felt that Gwen couldn’t have told her life story any better than she did, there are also awesome secondary characters which I feel held their own in the story. Gwen is a college graduate and like all graduates her life will enter a new phase, some parts of her new life will not be what she saw it to be. I found Gwen’s mother to be quite horrible and I am glad she had her friend Lena to lean on.

This is the first book I’ve read by Jesikah Sundin, I enjoy reading Claire Luana so I was excited to read this story.
It’s an interesting take on The Knights of the Round Table. Honestly, I don’t know much about the legend so it was all pretty new to me. I found the reverse harem an interesting twist. RH is new to me and it feels like it’s the latest “popular genre”. I have read a lot of it and this seemed tamer than what I have read.
The story features a kick a** strong female lead whose destiny is written and it is not the usual direction you would think she would be going. The characters are well developed and the story is layered with a few different threads. It held my interest and I only found myself skimming a few times.
I will re-read this story when the future installments are published.

Small Town Hero (Small Town Brides Book 1) By Kim Koby. This book was everything I was looking for to read right now. From page one I was drawn in and completely hooked until the last page. I read it in one sitting because I just couldn’t stop. Rebecca and Ryan just have this incredible connection you feel jump off the pages. Rebecca and Ryan both know heartache and while Rebecca’s is a little fresher they are each trying to find their footing again. The author writes a story that comes alive in you mind and has you feeling all the emotions written in the story right in your own heart. I was rooting for these two amazing characters all the way and love them so much. I’m excited to see where the author takes readers next. I’m definitely adding this one to my read again list because I’ll need to revisit Rebecca and Ryan again for sure. I’m giving this book a five star review and highly recommend it to all the romance readers out there!

Love, Christmas-Movies You Love is the second book in The Holiday Series. This is an anthology that the stories are inspired by Christmas movies. Each of the stories are on average 8-10 chapters and read quickly. The first story in the book caught my eye immediately being inspired by “It’s a Wonderful Life”. “A Wonderful Life” by Mimi Barbour is a sweet, heartwarming story where Clarence comes back to help Bedford Falls. I enjoyed this story because it kept the wholesome sweetness the movie had going. I also enjoyed the story “The Holiday” by Nancy Radke. I am still working my way through the anthology and will give myself a little Christmas treat here and there to get myself in the holiday mood. This is a fun collection and if you like Christmas movies you will enjoy this fun treat of many stories to choose from.

Redemption An Ash Park Novel Volume 5 By Meghan O’Flynn ☆☆☆☆☆ This is a complete suspenseful thriller. No spoilers here.
Detective Petrosky is a long time detective. He has been through a lot, and lost a lot. His goal is to stop and catch, The Looking Glass Killer. Not an easy job sense he is one step ahead, of the Detective. But Detective Petrosky will put the case to rest, if it’s the last thing he does. This is not his only case. He must also find the scum that murdered his daughter. The one good thing in his life, was taken tortured, burned alive, and left in a field. This Detective will not rest, until these two cases are solved.
Meghan O’Flynn has written the most intense murder mystery I have read in a long time. This story had me at chapter 1, page one. A non stop thriller, just my kind of story. The characters are just as intense as their story. This has been one of those books you hate to put down. Just enough action to keep you searching for the killer yourself. You must read the series in order. Not for those under 18 or with a weak heart.
I give Bound by Blood (Crescent City Wolf Pack Book 3) by Carrie Pulkinen, 5 stars. *This review contains spoilers from previous books in the series.*
Alexis is a rogue werewolf and therefore she has spent her life on the run since she first shifted at 13. But things are finally coming together. She has reunited with her sister after a very long time. Plus, now that her sister is happily married, she has an open invitation to join their pack. It would be nice to settle down, but all she has known is a life on the run. Although, the more she learns of Bryce, the more she feels like maybe she wants more. But would it ever work?
Bryce is Macie’s partner on the police force. When he is introduced to Macie’s sister, Alexis, there is something about her that immediately interests him. But she keeps leaving. When it looks like she has gotten into something that she can’t handle, he feels compelled to help her. She is hiding things, but he is determined to get the bottom of it. Plus, can he make her stay?
This is a great series. The two characters were both in the previous books, but we didn’t see too much of them. It was great to see them as the leads in this book. I really liked the idea of Alexis and was strongly hoping she would be featured in an upcoming book. Not to mention that Bryce seemed like a good guy too and I was happy to learn more of him. There is more going on than just their romance too, which makes this book even better. I got drawn into it right away and could not put it down until I was finished.
If you enjoy paranormal romance and hot werewolves, this book and series is for you.

Eternal Bloom (Bloom Duet) by A.E. Gamrat was a emotionally raw, kick to the feels, that may have cause some tears to slip.
Before we start I must warn you this is a duet, and is the second part to it. I highly suggest you read the first book before going into this one, as there is much need back information, character development, and general plot devices that will be needed in order to fully understand, and embrace this emotionally raw punch to the heart.
This book makes up for my mixed feels in the first. The beautiful crafted writing is carried over and you can’t help but be sucked into Gwen’s heartache, mixed emotions, and the sh&^ storm that seems to be getting out of hand. The once sheltered Gwen is coming into her own at a fast pace, and for a bit I was worried it might be too much for her. But, I have to say, Gwen fast became a strong, solid complex character that shone.
As this book is the second and final, I’m going to keep the review a little short as I don’t want to start gushing and spoil this gem. But I need to you know that this book, this duet, is something special. It’s a must read for not only those that are trying to find their place, but for anyone that has a heart. This has things we all can relate too, and experiences that will bring you back to that time in your life, when everything felt like it will fall apart.
So please take my super high recommendation and my stamp of approval, that you will be invested, and will be reaching for those tissues.
