I would like to say that there is enough warning out there to prepare you for the emotional rollercoaster ride that this book will take you on, but quite frankly that just isn’t the case with The Light as Dawn. K.L. Montgomery is normally a one-click author for me so it was a no-brainer to pre-order this beauty the moment I set my eyes on it and heard she had a sad book for us to devour. I had expected a rom-com with a bit more of the heavy sad here and there, more along the lines of what we would see from K.L. Montgomery in the past, and this is quite not what we got. I loved it though! Every stinking gut wrenching, tear inducing, kindle throwing, yelling, and kicking, screaming, bit of it! There was never a safe moment in my reading, just when I found my footing and would settle in, Montgomery would throw another curveball that would have me on my knees in tears and asking how and why all over again.
Now for details I won’t go into. They need to be kept to themselves because they are critical to the storyline and that I won’t ruin. But you will meet Angelina and Mark in their darkest hours, moments I am not sure I would even be able to survive, and how they are able to despite the pain and the sacrifices it requires of them. These two really made my heart swell, I just fell for them completely and I think it will be hard to top these two as favorite leads for 2019 reads. I really loved how Montgomery was able to take something that is a heated and conflicting topic that is constant and on our minds every day in one way or another no matter your age, gun violence, and build a productive story without choosing a side so to speak. It was really about the story that needed to be told, the characters and what they needed to relate. Much kudos for that! I will definitely be putting this one on my TBR reread list and snagging a hard copy for the shelf asap! Thank you so much for this beautiful story and reminder of hope Ms. Montgomery!

I couldn’t imagine living the way Clara had too. The fact that people treated her like that was hurtful and made me angry. The disrespect from her own family. I really like the McAlister family. They’re open and loving. They give everyone a chance and don’t hold rumors against them. Andrew was so cold to people it was a difficult defense mechanism to have. I liked how the author didn’t have them falling right away. There was a growing romance that required each to give in order to receive. The ton is such a ridiculous group. The standards and gossip were full of hypocrisies. Reviewed by @gguerrero89

LUKE is the first book I’ve read by this author. This is one of those books that almost seemed like two different, really good, yet different books, were written and for some reason put together in the same binding.
The story starts out really strong. It’s a dark drama involving the two main characters set in the past when they are both teenagers. Then rather abruptly, we are in present time and it seems as if there is a story that we have entered the middle of involving alpha men who run a security company. Both stories have huge potential, but the way they are put together seems disjointed and going in two different directions. I really want to like it but it’s just so scattered that it felt unfinished.
I always appreciate when an author puts their thoughts on paper and even though this particular story wasn’t my cup of tea, I am invested enough to find out what happened to one of the secondary characters to continue with the story.

This is a contemporary romance with friends becoming more to each other. I thought that this story had some sweet moments as well as humorous moments. Elliot and Fe had great chemistry! Although I do like the love at first sight stories, my favorite type of story is this kind of story when the love between the two characters grow during your time with them! This was a fun, sweet read that I enjoyed.

Hard as Steel is book four in the Surviving series. This story can be read as a standalone. After reading the first 3 books in this series, I can say that this story takes a darker twist than the others. There are a few characters in this story along with different situations for each person. The situation Grace finds herself in could be triggers for some readers. Flynn’s protectiveness is greater than anything. While Nic and Steel have a working relationship, a respect for each other, and an attraction they have been fighting for a while.
Author Virginia Wine has created another great story with great characters. This storyline took my breath away as I read it as fast as I could.

In the wake of so many tragedies involving gun violence in this country, the message of this book is especially poignant. The political message surrounding gun control is the largest theme of this story with sprinklings of humor and romance. Angelia and Mark are incredibly well fleshed out as characters and the sweet moments they share brought on more than a few happy tears but the horrible heartbreak had me dehydrated by the end and with the headaches I always get after crying. So if you’re like me, take advil before reading. The tact with which K. L. Montgomery tackles both side of the issue (those who advocate for a more thorough gun control and those who believe being armed is the best defense) is commendable.

Boudreaux – Review by Susan Mowdy
The Light at Dawn by K.L. Montgomery is an emotional story that had me in ugly tears at times. This is the story of Angelia White and Mark Lyon. The two are wounded from tragedy. Can the two come together and heal? This story is a beautiful story of survival and healing. This can be a hard subject for those who are sensitive to gun violence. Montgomery handles the subject matter well and it added to the story and wasn’t gratuitous violence. The story had me from the beginning to the end. I enjoyed the characters and wanted the best for them. This was a story that was relatable and reminds us that life is precious. We never know what each day will bring and so we need to make the most of each and every day.

The Light at Dawn by K. L. Montgomery is a five star novel. I really wish there was more stars I could give this book. Within the first couple minutes of reading this book, I was already in tears. As a teacher, this book was very difficult to read because of the sensitive material contained in this book. But I also believe that the topics we don’t talk about will only continue to get worse. After Angelia suffers a terrible tragedy, her marriage also falls apart. Five years later, she meets another man who she can’t seem to get out of her mind. After realizing they have some very deep core values that differ from each other, she starts to distance herself from him. But after he has also recently suffered his deepest loss, Angelia and Mark rekindle a little flame and see each other only at the rallies they go to on different sides of the fence. Can they find common ground or will they be at odds forever?

The Light at Dawn by K.L. Montgomery is a book that rips your heart out and will keep haunting you for days after you finish it. I had read a couple of her other books and thought that I might know what I’d be getting into but I am telling you, leave all your preconceived notions at the door and open yourself up to something amazing! The Light at Dawn is a heart-breaking story of unspeakable tragedy that both Angelia White and Mark Lyon experience first-hand … it is something that will change their lives for ever, something that will make them to question everything they know, everything they believe in … you WILL CRY, a lot … so have a box of tissues nearby … seriously! It is a beautiful story about how two people take something unspeakable like a parent losing a child to a mindless violence, and using that experience take a stand and create something meaningful out of it! I loved the way the writer treated the issue that people are so heated AND divided over. You don’t find many writers who take this topic and write about it in such a touching way … Thank you so much for taking up the challenge and giving us The Light at Dawn!

Finding Juniper by Sadia Ash is the sequel of Juniper Smoke. Finding Juniper is not a standalone read as it starts where Juniper Smoke left off. After several weeks of Kyle and Juniper not speaking, Kyle is back in Maryland desperate to get Juniper back in his life. Juniper is not having it and has had enough with his looming history of women. She loves Kyle but not sure if she would be able to gain his trust and be with him. This angst filled book will have you pulling your hair and wanting to choke Kyle for being so stupid. Kyle and Juniper are meant to be together but continues to revert back to his old ways. Will Kyle be able to leave his past and finally win Juniper’s trust and be together as they should? I was waiting a while for this sequel and was happy to see that Sadia Ash finally released it. Sadia’s seamless story writing and her attention to detail in every scene is amazing. You are automatically transported to Juniper and Kyle’s world with Sadia’s colorful writing. I truly recommend this book and series, as it is very well written and one of my favorites for years to come.

The Light at Dawn by K.L. Montgomery was a raw emotional read that will get you in all the feels. This book requires tissues and ice cream.
Not my first read by this author, so I knew going in that the writing would be top shelf. This book blew me out of the water and it got me so hard in the feels that my eyes wouldn’t stop leeking.
I absolutely sincerely loved this book, school shootings always get me. As a Canadian I have the luxury that the anomaly of a school shooting is its something that hardly ever happens here. When I see them on the news it breaks my heart, so for the first part of the book, I was in tears. I had to take a break, just so I could get through the rest of the book.
I will say that some parts were predictable but it didn’t make me like it less. There’s a solid message in there that isn’t one or the other. Compromising together could have a better outcome than just going to one extreme. So the whole ending of the book, I absolutely adored.
The romance is a beautiful story, I love the progression of the main characters as the story went on. I also loved how the main story took place over about a year. It made the relationship that much more believable especially at the end.
This book is a must read, so please take my super high recommendation and my golden stamp of approval, that this book will rip out your heart and put it back together, rip it out again before the light of dawn rises… (see what I did there?).

Not even sure where to begin…..Im a complete and utter mess, and I have so many things I want to say but I can’t, I have to find a way to write this review without giving anything away and also get through it without crying…I should be out of tears with how many times they fell while reading this story.
I can without a doubt in my mind say with complete certainty that this will be one of my favorite books of this year and after thinking about it I know it will be in my top five of all time and in my top 2 favorites by this author. Speaking of top two, It took my breath away when the halfway point between Texas and New York became so important and I’m not going to even expand on why that is.
If emotions were muscles I’d be looking up names for why I was feeling so sore…I felt every single type of feeling there is, even ones I’ve never heard of. I’m so impressed with the care that was given to the topics in this book…I’m one of those that sees the important sides to every issue and this one is no exception, and it doesn’t matter where you fall on the issues this author took great care in handling both sides.
I wish I could call out so many scenes in this story and try to explain the feelings they invoked but I can’t…When I say you must read this book I mean that with all that I am..You Must Read This Book and that ending?!?!
I just can’t……
I truly didn’t think I could love this author more but she proved that wasn’t true!

Luke (Dark Water Security Series Book 1) by Madison Quinn
5 Stars
This is my first book by this author and I loved the storyline and the writing. The beginning of this story was really hard and set the stage for the rest of the book, and I loved how the experiences that started in the beginning followed through and the way it shaped our characters.
I loved the suspense of wondering …. Is she or isn’t she? And really didn’t know until the truth finally came out.
This was a quick read and I read it in one sitting and before I knew it I was done and already want more, and can not wait for this series to continue.
I love finding new to me authors and will be looking for more while I wait for the next in this story.

The Case of Missing Books (Summer McCloud paranormal mystery Book 6) By: Nikki Broadwell 5 out of 5 stars
The story The Case of Missing Books (Summer McCloud paranormal mystery Book 6) by Nikki Broadwell is a supernatural mystery book. It is a story that hooked me in from the very beginning. I was turning pages to find out what would happen next. I loved how I was drawn into the mystery and intrigue of the book. I loved reading about the character of Summer. She and the other characters in the story are all unique and larger than life. Each one has their own part to play in the book. There are some characters that are helpful and others who have their own plans and will do anything to make their agenda a reality. When reading about Summer, my emotions at times went up and down with hers. She finds herself caught up in a mystery that includes danger and puts her in the path of a killer. She is a character that I came to care about and wished for her to be safe and happy. I love stories that include the supernatural, so I found this story a joy to read. It has some twists and turns to it that I didn’t see coming and I found myself not wanting to put it down until I had read the final page. There are some intense scenes along with some emotional dialogue. Don’t miss out on a book that has a wonderful storyline and amazing characters. I highly recommend reading it.

Ashley Bostock has created another series, that even after book 1 Nothing But Trouble you can tell how brilliant this series Irresistible Billionaire’s will be. I loved our main characters, Michael & Sophia, from the beginning. This author has a brilliant way of creating real and relatable characters, and to make it even better she has created a brilliant storyline that I was captivated with from start until the very end. This book has many twists, ones that you don’t expect and ones that you hope to see happen and when they do, it brings an extra level of excitement to the read. But even if you do expect them it doesn’t take the enjoyment away from this romantic read. I loved seeing both of these characters break down each other’s walls, but also make them see things in a different way. It really brought together their already real and true connection. These two hit it off immediately. Along their journey they face some bumps along the way. You can’t help but wish that after the pasts and present that these two live that they will finally get a HEA!
This was a brilliant read that shouldn’t be missed. I can’t wait to follow Cole’s story next in book 2, All Shook Up. And I hope this isn’t the last we read of Sophia & Michael’s story.

The story Feathers by Kylie Stewart is an amazing book that I loved reading. It is a story that hooked me in from the very beginning and I found myself lost in its pages. It is a book that had my emotions going up and down right along with the characters. I loved reading about the characters of Charlotte Waters and Hawk McLean. Charlotte is a young woman who has said that she will never trust men again. Her life has shown her the cruelty of others. Then she meets Hawk. Hawk is a man that has had a lot of emotional turmoil in his life. From a young age, he feels the pain of abandonment and unhappiness. Then he meets Charlotte. She finds herself trusting him. He feels that she has an old soul, one that reaches out to him. They both find an attraction to each other. Will they listen to their hearts? Will he keep a distance from her or will Hawk and Charlotte find their way to each other? Read this book to find out. This story has intense and emotional dialogue. I grew to care about the characters of Hawk and Charlotte with each chapter that I read and wanted them to find happiness. There is passion and desire. There are also steamy scenes that make the temperature in the room rise. There are additional characters that are introduced and I enjoyed reading about the part they play in the story and their interactions with Hawk and Charlotte. This is a story that once I started, I didn’t want to put down until I had finished. It is a book I would highly recommend reading.

The Light at Dawn by K.L. Montgomery is a must read! This is my favorite book by this author to date, which is saying a lot since I always love her work! It’s an incredibly emotional story about loss, heartache, love, and second chances. From the very beginning I was hooked, completely captivated by all the detail and emotion this author was able to convey.
I loved the flow of this storyline and the changes in different POV’s added an extra depth to the story. There were many unexpected twists that had me feeling all kinds of emotions and shedding many tears. It’s such a heart-wrenching story that everyone should read especially in this day and age! It’s a very powerful story that I would recommend to anyone!

Caught in Make-Believe (The Caught Series book 3) by Sharleen Scott
5-stars
Caught in Make-Believe by Sharleen Scott is another 5-star read in her Caught series! This is the third book in the series and having read all three I can say that they could be read as standalones, however, I loved the first two books so much so I would recommend reading this series in order. Caught in Make-Believe is a suspenseful romance read that had me sitting on the edge of my seat waiting to get answers to all my questions. It’s steamy, intense, detailed, action-packed and highly entertaining.
I love how this storyline flowed seamlessly with the many POV’s. The different POV’s had me feeling really intrigued as I tried to piece everything together! This series is one I would definitely recommend to anyone looking for their next romance suspense reads. It’s one that should not be missed!

Movie Star 21st Century Courtesan Book 2 by Pamela DuMond 4 Stars!!!!
This is the second book in this series that I have read and I wasn’t disappointed. I found the authors style to be quite refreshing and really brings the story to life. The whole concept of the books is really quite unique. I really enjoyed how the author brings a little intrigue into the books with a slight sinister twist. I couldn’t put the book down.
This book helps to get a bit more into Evie’s past and how she starts to fit all the pieces together. I love how she is able to help people and how sort of unique her career choice is. The way that she helps Jake as well as some of her other clients is just so unique. I like how the author shows a different side of escorts. I found that the author has quite a unique story line and character set. The series is really addicting and I really look forward to reading more from this author and this series as I am excited to see what will happen next.

This is an amazingly good story. It has many highs and lows. I was able to easily follow along and feel the anguish/pain and love of the characters. Hawk and Charlotte each thought they would be alone the rest of their lives because of their pasts. Little did they know all it took was one look and they were already living for their future. This is a story through the years for two with an emphasis on Charlotte’s life and love. I ached for Charlotte as her story started to unfold. The horrors are forever. Will the love of a good man be able to erase her past?
This is my first book by this author. I liked the characters. Hawk can be very expressive and I could feel his feelings near the end of the book. I enjoyed the title and how it’s used in this story.

This is book three in the Caught Series. As far as I’m concerned, it’s another winner. Each book can be read as a stand-alone seeing as they focus on a different couple in each one. I highly suggest that you read the whole series because it is really good. This story focuses on Samantha Dylan, manager of Harlie’s bakery. She finds out things about her fiancé and breaks off the engagement. She’s fed up and actually considering leaving Angel Beach but then Jace Colton walks into her life.
Jace Colton has finally decided to return to Angel Beach to face some demons from his past. He needs to put them to rest. Unknowingly, someone has followed him which puts his and Samantha’s lives in danger. Secrets can destroy you, and Jace has plenty. Can Jace survive and protect Samantha as well?
Once again Sharleen Scott managed to play with my emotions. I had moments where I literally held my breath in anticipation of what was going to happen. There is a bit of mystery throughout the book which keeps you intent on piecing things together. When the author finally reveals what’s happening, it truly is a complete surprise. The story was entertaining and filled with wonderful characters. I absolutely loved this series and I’m sure you will too.

This is a paranormal story with witches and magic. This story kept me engaged throughout the story. It took me on a journey of mystery and suspense twisted with magic. This is a story about some books that have gone missing and how they are connected to murders in town. The characters are great and Summer is my favorite. She brought the story to life for me and I could easily find myself with her. She made me laugh a couple of times as well a few other emotions. I highly recommend this book.

I loved this book, it is my favorite yet by this author. It was such an emotional roller coaster ride that I couldn’t put it down until the end. It brought out awareness to a very real issue in our society and the victims it leaves behind to survive. The characters are connectable and true to life. They made me feel as if I was part of their world in the story. This story is about healing, heartbreak, and life after a loss. This is a must read story and I know you won’t regret picking it up!

The Perfect Duchess by Erica Taylor is the second book in the Macalisters series. This book is as good as the first with interesting characters and a great story line. Historical fiction is always something that I find can go either way and yet this author nails it every time. The story is interesting and has just enough going on to keep your attention. I loved these two main characters, they seemed so well suited to each. So far this series I shaping up to be great!

The Monster’s Lover by Samantha MacLeod 4 out of 5 stars The Monster’s Lover in the first book in the The Fenris Series written by Ms. MacLeod and is the first book that I have read by this author. This story is about hardship, sacrifices, and love. The story started out slow but once you got into it, it was great. The characters are well written and there is a depth to Sol that wanted me to keep reading. The description of the background was vibrant and colorful. Sol Eriksen’s family has fallen on hard times since her father’s death. Her mother cannot provide her annual quota of purple oak so she trades Sol in payment to the cruel King Nøkkyn for one year in his harem. After running from some of the locals, she is at the river when she meets a handsome man, Fenris, who claims to be the dangerous beast that roams the Ironwood. She thinks he is playing games with her because this is the name of the mythical beast she heard about as a child. So is he a madman or a demon? She knows she shouldn’t listen to him but she is running out of options and time. Can Sol trust Fenris? Will Fenris let Sol down? Will he be able to save her from the cruel king? Read the story to find out… This book ends in a cliffhanger and I recommend this book….
Snatching Dianna (Feisty Lawyers #1) by Seelie Kay 4 out of 5 stars Snatching Dianna is the first book in the Feisty Lawyer series written by Seelie Kay and it’s the first book that I have read by this author. This book isn’t really my kind of reading but I enjoyed this short story. This story contains intrigue, suspense, humor, action, adventure, danger, drama, and some romance. Dianna Murphy a Milwaukee law student has been kidnapped. Her roommate reports her missing, but unfortunately, without witnesses and solid evidence, all the police really know is that she is missing. In steps in Law Professor Janet MacLachlan, a former covert agent, she discovers a single clue, one that points to a taking by a slave trafficking cartel. In a race against time, Janet recruits her husband, secret agent Cade Matthews, small-town Police Chief David Manders and his wife, criminal defense attorney Julianna Constant, and other law students to uncover the truth. Can they prove that Dianna was taken against her will? Will she be lost forever if they can’t find any-more clues about her disappearance? The characters are great and well written, the plot was good. This book was easy to read. I recommend this book.
