For the Love of Laura BethFor the Love of Laura Beth by Aubrey Wynne
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is a story about the perils of war and life in general. The sweet heartbreaking reality of war and the sweet heartbreaking reality of life. For the Love of Laura Beth is a story about effects of war on the young men and their families in the 1950’s, which is still pretty relevant to today. It’s also about family. Important then. Important now. This is a heartbreaking story about love and loss; hope and survival. This story is too real.

“You’re not the first and won’t be the last to feel forsaken.”

This story involves a twist that wasn’t expected, turning this story from a general heartbreak to an ugly cry heartbreak. But the power of love is there to pull us through.

“I was so afraid of the pain, but I’ll miss all the joy.”

This story was a slow Sunday afternoon type of read and that’s why the twist hits so hard. Great, simple caring characters.

I recommend a tissue box while reading this great story.

Souls Collide: Collide Series Book 3
By Kristina Beck

This is a wonderful mix of romance and suspense. I really enjoyed getting to know Alexa and Kent, they are wonderful characters even though they are very different. They started out very rocky and have different views on life, but when a stranger is lurking around it starts to change their relationship. The suspense of the stranger and their relationship was so intriguing that I couldn’t put the book down till I found out what happened. The author did an awesome job weaving this story so it felt relatable and gave me the feels I like in a good romance. I highly recommend this book!!

Snatching Dianna (Feisty Lawyers, #1)Snatching Dianna by Seelie Kay
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Snatching Dianna by Seelie Kay is the first book in the Feisty Lawyers series and what a book it is. Full of thrilling suspense, intrigue and twists and turn this book will have you on a roller coaster ride with its fast pace writing and well written story.

Dianna Murphy is a law student and one night she vanishes, her room mate is convinced something has happen to her but no-one will listen, so she enlists the help of her Law Professor to help in finding out what really happen to her friend, but her Law professor is not all she seems. Janet MacLachlan was once a secret agent and with help from her husband, the police chief and a merry band of others they decide to find out what really happened.

This book will have you on the end of your seat, although a short novel this does not stop the effectiveness of the full story. With the twists and turn you are taken on a journey with the “team” to uncover what has happened, but has the team over turned just one to many stones and are they ready for what they uncover. If you love the suspense and thrill of a good thriller you will love this book. I can’t wait to read more in this series or more books by this author.

Guilty Pleasures Volume 2Guilty Pleasures Volume 2 by Joyce McCarthy
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Guilty Pleasures Volume 2 by Joyce McCarthy is a collection of short stories of pleasures, lust and attraction.

This book follows Brad and his fantasies that come through the book, you discover the sexy teacher/student liaison and the steam scenes that unfold, then the older woman scenario and many more.

This is a great light hearted book but delves into the world and brain of a college student with some erotic scenes and descriptions will have you hot under the collar, I would love to see where some of the encounters end up with a longer book but hey we may get that down the line. This is a great quick read if you need to kill time and with the interesting, quick paced stories you will need a cold shower after some of them. This is the first book I have read by this and would like to read more in the future.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

A Tangy Christmas Kiss by Allyson R Abbott is the second book in the series and follows the story of Mel and her horrendous mishaps that happen along the way.

Mel is travelling to her parents for Christmas but half way through the journey she is turned about by her mother and she has to go and help her aunt in Spain. Although the trip there is a manic mishaps one after another once she is safely in Spain she is complete lost and does not know which way to go until she meets a handsome stranger who helps her. Once she arrives at her aunt’s place she is unaware of what she has to do to help, she thought she was walking into a lovely relaxing beach vacation to be thrust into the world of animals.

As the story progress you get to see the relationship blossoms between the two characters and the great way the story weaves is great to read. This is not the first story I have read by this author and as normal this is a well written, delightful story. I recommend this series as each book can be read as a stand alone story.

The Crazy Yates
by Kimberly Packard
Rated 4 stars

This is a peek into the Yates living room window a few days before Christmas. Im not so sure the family is crazy just trying to live through difficult times. That makes them different from others. This is a short story but that doesn’t mean the author skimped out the developing the characters. I understood where Callie was coming from. Always down on their luck the monster always lurking around the next corner. Her family who hasn’t been there for her before. Will they come through on Christmas or will they just keep thinking about themselves?

This is not a first time author for me. I enjoy how she creates a small glimpse of someone’s world and invites us in the be spectators.

Paladin’s Hell: Satan’s Devils MC (Colorado Chapter) #1
By Manda Mellett
Rated 5 stars

What a great start to a new group of guys! I love the writing in this. The characters draw me in and seem very real. I loved seeing all the old characters and meeting some new ones. I quickly get immersed into the MC life again. We are meeting new Brothers, new Ol’ Lady’s and new sweet butts. What comes with this as well are new problems.

Paladin struggles to gain and give the trust he so easily had from his new Brothers. Not only that but Moira has claimed herself as guardian of Jayden. Protecting her from Paladin. I tell you new clubs are not super easy. OMG!! That cat!! What a great add to the story! Her antics cracked me up! She added a little fun and craziness to a more serious story.

Moira and The Prez have had quite the life. They are getting older and changes come with that. I liked how the author dealt with a few issues. I have not read a book that talks about the trials of getting older like this one. I could easily identify with both of these characters going through this rough time. I will say Moira was not a favorite of mine for a while during this read.

This author is quickly becoming a one-clicker for me. I have been hooked on these MC’s for a while now. I loved *seeing* Drummer/Arizona crew again in here since he feels like coming home. But the new crew felt pretty good by the time the book was done. I can’t wait for the next one!

Hope's Defeat (The Fated #3)Hope’s Defeat by Angela McPherson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Hope’s Defeat is the third book in The Fated Series by author Angela McPherson. To get the full experience of this incredible paranormal, fantasy read, then I suggest you start from the beginning and thoroughly enjoy the incredible growth of our main characters and their story. Trinity and Blain continue on their journey in this read and also continue to develop and face new challenges.

The action starts straight away and doesn’t let up until the end! This book and this entire series so far continues to suck you into this world, that the author has created, she has once again made this a mentally visual read throughout. I was completely captivated with this read from the very beginning right up until the last page.
The book was filled with twists and turns throughout that had me on the edge of my seat. This book is filled with action, danger, suspense and doesn’t let up at all through the book.

This has been an epic series and another amazing book to this series. I can’t wait to see what else this author will bring us.

By: Ellen Butler
My Rating: 5 of 5 stars

Fatal Legislation: A Novel: Karina Cardinal Mystery Book 2 by Ellen Butler was a fast pace, intriguing mystery, that had me hooked from start to finish.

Not my first read by this author or in this series. We are again tossed into an unusual mystery were our MC is once again in the wrong place at the wrong or right time. Man she really know how to get herself in a pickle. Before I get to far into this review, this book, though can be read as a standalone, is part of a continuation series, and I highly suggest reading the first book, especially if you want more backgrounds on our MC and her sexy FBI lover.

Like the last book, the writing is on point, the pace is smooth and cohesive. The fast pacing gives the book a senise of paince, and really puts our MC in the hot seat. The murder plot is also a bit of a test for our power couple and, for me, I like that added element. But I do hope that, moving forward with this series, that Karina’s doesn’t always fall into these situations (Not so much the mysteries, but how she’s finder herself involved in them). Once it fine, twice.. okay.. but a third.. you can only do the same thing so many times. In all, that’s my only criticism with this book, and this series.

Overall this action packed thriller was a fun read, and I loved the complex multi layered plot. The ending was a shocker, but the clues are there, so pay attention. With that said, I’m going to leave you with my super high recommendation and my stamp of approval.

Happy Reading

My Rating: 4 of 5 stars

For the Love of Laura Beth (A Chicago Christmas Book 4) by Aubrey Wynne was a sweet quick read, about the growing pains of marriage and learning how to dig down deep, to find that strength needed, to overcome every hardship that was tossed their way.

Not my first read by this author so I knew going in, that I was in for a well crafted read. I was not disappointed. A fast pace tale of love, hardship and family, I was taken on a sweet journey that not only pulled at those dreaded heartstrings, it ignited feelings of hope and faith.

I liked the way this story was structured, like I was reading a combined journal from both Joey and Laura Beth. It reads chronologically, telling us their beginning, their ups, downs, their loses and how they, as a couple, overcame both their demons. As this story moves fast, I don’t want to give anything away. But I will tell you that, time and care went into this read, especially for the era it was set in.

Overall this book is worth your time and energy, it will take you back in time, back when things appeared simple, but as we all know, things are never what they seemed. Life always has other plans. So please take my super high recommendation and my stamp of approval that you will fall for Laura and Joey.

Happy Reading

I have to admit that this is sort of a new genre for me. I really am not into like political murder mysteries and so I was pleasantly surprised when I got sucked into this book. I really like the way that the author weaves the drama into the story and you find yourself at the edge of your seat. I really didn’t want to put this book down.

I found myself really gripping the edge of my seat as Karina’s character helped to unfold the mystery and drama and solve the case. I really was eager just to turn the next page to see just what would happen next. I have to admit that the undertone of the romance between Karina and Mike really just adds to the drama. I don’t normally like political dramas like this but I find that I really did enjoy this book and would like to read more from this author. I find that it is a good thing to try and broaden your reading .

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Beachcomber Gone was a thrilling 5 star read and book 9 in the Beachcomber Investigations series. Stephanie Queen has once again pulled me right in.

Just when these two are finally taking a step forward by going to meet Shana’s family things take a big twist. Dane takes an important call while in flight to Australia, a call that changes everything.

Someone from the past has their sights set on Shana. They have her mother and are using her as bait to get what they want.

Can Shana prove her innocence in an old case of hers?
Can they save her mother before it’s too late? Can they ever get a HEA?

Shana is a very strong loving woman and I love that about her. Dane is a caring and protective man who would do anything for Shana. We get a great mix of so much in this story, thrilling twists and turns and edge of your seat moments. Secondary characters were great. You can read as a stand alone but I suggest reading from the beginning so you understand the whole story between Shana and Dane. I can’t wait to read more from this series/author.

For the Love of Laura Beth by Aubrey Wynne is the fourth book in the Chicago Christmas series. This is the story of Laura and Joe. They fell in love as children and had their lives all mapped out until Joe is sent to Korea during the Korean War. When he returns life does not fall back into the norm. Joe is dealing with the aftermath of having been deployed into a war zone and Laura is dealing with her own problems. Will the strength of their love overcome all of their challenges?
This is a well-done and sweet story. The characters are well written and the story was interesting. The story was sad but uplifting as well. I liked the realistic, non fairy tale aspects of the story. Life is a struggle and we have to figure out what is important to us. I will be looking for more from this author in the future.

The author does such a wonderful job of keeping the drama going from book to book. There seems to be a smooth transition from the fist straight through to the third book in this series. To get to follow more the lives of Wren and her fellow confectioners as the head into the pending war kept me glued to the edge of my seat. The way that the drama unfolds keeps your attention. I wasn’t disappointed as I continued to read as the drama unfolded in this book. I really will be reading more from this author in the future and hopefully there will be more in this series.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

A Frothy Christmas Kiss by Allyson R. Abbott is the fourth book in her Christmas Kiss series and it just couldn’t get any better than this. Following the story of Kat and Dan, and their mutual love of coffee, I feel right into this story and loved every minute of it. When Kat finds this great kitschy little coffee shop she feels right at home, especially once she meets to handsome owner of said coffee shop. The immediate attraction and connection leads to allot of flirtatious moves and an undeniable pull toward each other. When she learns that Dan has baggage at home, she will have to be willing to take a leap of faith on her feelings for Dan in order to see if this relationship is going to be worth it. Dan wants to make things work with Kat, but he needs to be friends with her first because of his home life. As soon as Kat starts to work at the coffee shop, Dan finds its harder and harder to stay away from her. When her past comes blowing into the shop in the form of her ex it will take Dan aback but will make him have to push his feelings to the limit if he wants to win the girl. Will this Christmas season be the last that either of them has to be alone or will they be better as friends with a mutual love of coffee? Abbott is swiftly becoming a favorite author of mine to read, as this series has really pulled me into the Christmas spirit. While each of this series can be read as a stand-alone book, I highly recommend picking up the whole series as you won’t be able to stop at just one read. I can’t wait to see what Abbott brings to her readers next!

Circumstances and fate bring these two back together again when Tessa is taken by the slave ring men. Locke is shocked to see the woman he met at the hospital. Determined to help her he makes a deal to buy her. Once he has Tessa safely in his home, he suggests a deal that will keep her safe.

All I can say is WOW, what a heck of a read. The secondary characters were great, I have to say my favorite was Gage, Locke’s friend who is a hot as heck cage fighter. Tessa was a strong and determined woman who fights for what she believes in. If you’re looking for a great thrilling read with some hot and steamy moments, this is the book for you.

“A Frothy Christmas Kiss” brings us the best novella yet in Allyson R Abbott’s Christmas Kiss series! As a coffee fanatic myself, this book was right up my alley! Kat, our leading lady, finds herself moving away from home for a new job and to find distance from her former best friend and ex, Spencer. While trying to learn about her new town, Kat discovers a wonderful coffee shop and its wonderful owner, Dan. She is captivated by the aroma of the shop and finds herself engrossed in conversation about her love of coffee with Dan. This story was my favorite of the series, but I am very coffee biased so that was expected from me from page one! I loved Kat and her passion for coffee, as it is so relatable to me. As always, Allyson R Abbott found a way to incorporate a fun neighborhood cat into the story to make it even more perfect! Do yourself a favor and take just two short hours and get lost in this great novella! “A Frothy Christmas Kiss” earns five stars from me!

This was such a nice read! Another wonderful, heartwarming story to keep you entertained on a cold day. Billie is such a great character! She was an impulsive young woman who was too headstrong to see what she should do, but after five years of hard lessons, she comes back a better and wiser woman and I love to see growth in a character like that!

This is filled with drama, anger and secrets. I can’t say I didn’t enjoy it because I stayed up late reading. I would have loved seeing some chapters from Virs POV. He was always so angry and irritated. It maybe would have helped me understand and sympathize with his character. Instead I don’t like him very much. Wait…hold that thought..he is a possessive alpha guy so of course I like him! Hold on! I did add very much…so that’s true. He has that star quality package down pat. Me, me, me!

I did love his family! So as minor characters they were delightful to read. A few others were not so nice or had unexplained actions.
The ending also felt rushed. I think Virs POV throughout the story would have helped that as well. Or even an epilogue to balance out the relationship. I read this fairly quickly so I did enjoy it.

By Allyson R. Abbott

If you do nothing else you must read the Christmas Kiss series by Allyson R. Abbott, you won’t be disappointed. The whole series can be read as standalone stories. A Pink Christmas Kiss is centred around Billie and Leroy. Billie and Leroy had been high school sweethearts and through miscommunication things went wrong. Or did they? This one is probably the cutest and sweetest of all in the series. Billie left everything and everyone she knew and returned home five years later. Billie is now home running her dads shop as he is no longer able to do this task himself. When Billie and Leroy meet up again, they both realize that their connection is still there, as with true love it feels for them both that nothing has changed. But are they wrong? Christmas is a magical time of the year love and romance and the story of Billie and Leroy is no different. As with the other books in the series this one is also a nice quick and enjoyable read. This book is also well written and therefore the story flows nicely. So, get the whole series, it four books in total and get caught up in the magic of Christmas.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Can’t say it enough…this is a Christmas read must! A Frothy Christmas Kiss is book 4 in the Christmas Kiss Series by Allyson R. Abbott. This story follows Kat where she has just moved to this town in order to escape her ex and secretly her best friend. Her best friend is one of those best friends who thinks that they should be together. Her best friend, coincidently, is a man. He keeps pushing her and pushing her to try a relationship out together. She on the other hand just doesn’t feel it. Now, from the time she was a little girl, coffee was a big part of her life. So essentially, she absolutely adores the stuff. She finds this coffee shop that she absolutely falls in love with. Along with the coffee shop comes a super hot owner! So between lusting after him and fighting off her best friend…she has got her hands full. However, Mr. Coffee Shop owner (Dan) is a bit of a mystery that she tries to figure out. I loved this book and absolutely adore this series. I am so glad I was able to read it. This story feels like a hallmark movie waiting to happen! I love how the author pulls you in and makes you fall in love with the characters. This is the same with all the other books as well. I can’t wait to read more from this author! You won’t be disappointed.

A Tangy Christmas Kiss
By Allyson R. Abbott

Yet another awesome read by Allyson. You just can’t read enough Christmas romance stories. A Tangy Christmas Kiss must be put on your reading list for over the Christmas period. In a nutshell we have Melanie who receives a phone call from her mother telling her that her aunt has had surgery asks her to go help her while she recovers. Melanie meets a handsome stranger by the name of Lucas, the spark between them flies quite quickly even though none of them can speak each other’s language. Just goes to show language is no barrier to love. I really enjoyed reading this book can be read as a standalone to by the way. As with Allyson’s other books in this series, this book is a nice quick read and the storyline just flows beautifully. Hope you get to read this book and enjoy it as much as I did.

5 Stars

This is the third book in the Confectioners Chronicles Series and they just keep getting better and better. With mystery, suspense and a little romance this book is sure to rock your socks off. This series should be read in order to get the best reading experience possible. So much deception in this book and so many twists and turns I was on the edge of my seat the whole book. I loved the characters and couldn’t help but feel a tug at my heart when things went downhill for them. The author writing style is like a cherry on top of an awesome Sundae and I couldn’t get enough. I really enjoyed this series and I am looking forward to reading more by this author!!
Go get this book now!! Happy reading!
