The Inheritance: The Story Of An Unlikely Submissive is a fantastic, gripping novella by India Kells. Having read several book by this author in the last year, they are fast becoming a favourite of mine. This novella may be only 92 pages in length, but there is so much content packed into those 92 pages. When Lani Mackay’s uncle dies, he leaves a strange legacy for her. He leaves a box filled with instructions for her that only one man can open and also decide if she has fulfilled the instructions properly in order to received her £10 million inheritance. That man is Max Langdon. Ex dom. This is a gripping story of how Lani convinces Max to open the box and help her carry out the instructions. Little does she know that these instructions will lead her into the world of BDSM with Max. This story was gripping from the very first page and had me totally gripped until the very end. It was extremely hot and steamy. You may need to have a fan hand when reading the sex scenes. The story is also very emotional in places as Lani strives to break down the barriers that Max has put up around himself. I thoroughly recommend this book.

A great read about forgiveness. Alex has always done his utmost to help people and care for them,, but sometimes he takes on too much. Withdrawing from it all after the events of the previous books, Alex tries to look after himself. Whilst doing so, he discovers that he is enough, but can he fix the broken relationships of the past or is too late? A great read. Well developed plot. Well developed characters like Payton as funny but kind underneath or Leigh struggling with her feelings but still standing up for herself or Alex trying his best but still caring underneath. Great cast of supporting characters like the supportive Lacey or the mother figure of Gigi loud and bubbly. This helped to create the sense of a family that sticks together and helps each other out which was a lovely touch. The only issue with this was that sometimes it felt like there were too many characters to keep track of and perhaps reducing this slightly would help the reader follow the narrative. I also liked Paytons story with her struggles with vision and life that were relatable and emotive and beautifully written. I loved the visual detail throughout the novel with the sense of home with the coast with its familiar sights and sea and sand and restaurants all welcoming to the characters for a sense of belonging. Or the garden and the little birds as one little corner of peace in their busy lives. The use of memories in the narrative worked well to display what happened to Payton with wonderful visual detail of the parks and the water and was easy to follow with the use of italics and didn’t distract from the narrative of the present. Overall, a great read and I would give it four stars.

Boudreaux – Review by Sarah Oakes
The story seemed nice. I liked the idea of her trying to keep the dream from her husband alive. This was slow moving and there is a lot of inner speculation. I enjoy reading a story with more dialogue and little less description and inner thoughts. I sadly spend some time skimming. We spent quite a bit of time getting to know Bijou. Her life, her family and her struggles. Wait…i don’t want to forget the tree… i liked that idea a lot. Not so much information on Noah. Unless he is in the other stories he was an enigma. I really struggled with how quickly the relationship of the two MC’s moved forward. It felt wrong to me. Maybe if he had showed up in the book sooner but he wasn’t a main fixture until she needed help. But then I guess that rules out the insta-love they shared. So maybe the timing was right.
Let’s talk kids. Claire was different. At times she was the annoying tween. Other times it’s like she was the adult. Even though Holder didn’t have many scenes..he was a cutie. The other secondaries were good but I felt Mara was over the top. Maybe if she was a single friend i could see her acting that way. Although at the end I loved what she did to the reporters.
So this is the fourth book in this series and it can be read as a stand alone. I have not read the previous stories and had no problem following the storyline. The story was good and had a nice idea behind it. I easily moved right through it.

Broken Sand Dollar is the third and final instalment in the Sand Dollar series by JD Boudreaux. These stories are always highly energetic and extremely busy. So much goes on and the author conveys so much and gives away so little, which keeps you riveted to each page. It is almost impossible to put down and easy to lose yourself in.
In this story, the characters from books one and two all come together to give a reader a stunning conclusion to the series. This book was romantic, emotional and totally captivating. The characters, while different, meshed together well and left wonderful memories of their journey. The tale grabs your attention and holds it captive until the last word. Never lacking in complexity and depth, it was a great way to pass a lazy weekend. I read in in one sitting because it was that good. Sad to be at the end of the series, but so happy to have got to experience the wonder that is the Sand dollar series. 5 stars.

Boudreaux – Review by Tracy Wilkin
Two swords stand in a pool of blood. A ring is found amidst a pile of ashes. Dar is missing after a battle with the Bok. Etain hasn’t been seen since leaving the Elven city of Nunnehi. They are the defenders’ strongest warriors. Without them, how will the Alamir defeat their greatest evil?
I‘m a Texan living in England with my charismatic husband. You see, he’s English, lived in England his whole life. He’d never been to the States until he met me…online. After chatting for a couple of years, I made a bold move and flew to England to meet him – face to face. Obviously, things were good and here we are, married and happy.
I’ve been writing for several years, pleasure writing mostly, until 2017 when I published my first book, Alamir. It’s a part of my Blood of Kaos Series, which consists of two published books, DreamReaper is the second, with the third, Flesh and Bone, on the way and a few more to come after that.
The Blood of Kaos Series is an urban fantasy that isn’t too urban with just enough fantasy to crank up your imagination.

These men never back away from danger—and always fall hard for love in Cover Six Security, an explosive new series from USA Today Bestselling Author Lisa B. Kamps
Gordon “Mac” MacGregor swore an oath to protect and defend—an oath he continues to uphold as a former Army Ranger specializing in dark ops private security with Cover Six Security. Danger is a constant companion—and one of the few things that make him feel alive. He doesn’t expect that danger to come in the form of the Tabitha “TR” Meyers, the only woman who sees him for who he truly is—and the only woman he’s ever sworn off.
TR rarely abides by the rules, not when there’s something she needs—and right now, she needs Mac. She enlists his help for one night, thinking she can simply walk away when it’s over. But that one night is just the beginning, thrusting both of them into a dangerous web of scandal and cover-up with roots that run deeper than either of them expects.
When TR becomes an unwitting pawn in a game of deception and revenge, Mac will do anything to protect her—even if it means risking his own heart.

Leda’s life is great without a man—until Sergio kisses her.
Sergio has been in and out of Leda’s life for years—flirting, offering poetry and enigmatic smiles to then disappear, or get high, time after time.
Busy with genetic engineering and her rock band, Leda fights the sizzling chemistry with the brooding pothead. No need for another “relationshiT.”
Yet, after the most memorable, swoon-inducing, soul-melting kiss, she can’t stop thinking about him. Good thing they were interrupted. Right?
Is she in love? Does he even care? Is he worth the trouble?

Ever After? An Italian Relationship” (The Italian Saga Book 6) by Gaia B Amman
When empath Catherine Rodham moves across the country to launch the West Coast arm of the Peterson Talent Agency in Las Vegas, her plan goes awry when an actress on a film she helped cast turns up murdered, leaving law enforcement stumped.
Alex Moore, a Sin City actor with a secret, wants agency representation from Catherine – and maybe something more. But everything changes after he finds himself the target of a murder investigation.
When the two team together to solve the serial murders, Alex introduces Catherine to a paranormal underworld she never knew existed. Can Catherine prove Alex’s innocence before losing her heart…or her life?
This is the first book in the Paranormal Talent Agency series. Much like on television, each episode contains a complete sweet paranormal romance and supernatural murder mystery. But the crossover characters and hints of a larger story suggest reading these in order.

What She Lost and Found is a story of a young woman who has lost and wants to live life to the fullest once again. It is written by M. L. Garcia. It was a beautiful and emotional story that was enthralling and remarkable.
Daniela suffers a loss that seems like there is no coming back from. Her best friend was more like a sister and her loss set on an unexpected and unwanted path. Her innocence is gone and she is left utterly broken. This tale outlines a person’s struggle to continue after great loss. It highlights how the human spirit, while bruised and broken, still crave the most normal things. Friendship, happiness and love. The secrets that follow her threaten to sabotage the life she is chasing, but she possesses an inner strength that ensures she will not succumb without a fight. Daniela has lost, but with courage, faith and a love for life will see her fulfill her deepest desires. A stunningly moving and gripping 5 stars read.

Broken Sand Dollar (The Sand Dollar Series Book 3) by JD Boudreaux is the final book in The Sand Dollar Series. It is a wonderful conclusion to the story of Alex and his life. It is a must that these books be read in order each book follow on and come together nicely. It is a journey of fate, faith and being and finally finding yourself. The first two books were enjoyable but JD did well in this book to tie everything up nicely but it also felt like the story had matured much like the characters. It is an emotional read but it also brings much happiness. I loved the stupid phrases the main characters sprouted at each other that had me laughing out loud.
Alex has always been a giver a fixer but not so much for himself. The women in his life leaving him in one way or another. After his last turn at love goes wrong, he packs up and returns to the one place that he feels at home, and what he finds when he finally stops is the one thing he never thought he would have. But he also learns how far back everything in his life has lead to where he is now.

Another wonderful installment following our beloved Ella. Smart and funny, the cast of characters continued to grasp my heartstrings with witty dialogue and fast paced story development. From beginning to end, I found myself deliciously enraptured, just waiting to find out what would happen next. If you enjoy witty female leads, and unexpected love found, this is a book you must pick up.

This is a collection of short stories that are full of paranormal hotness by a group of great authors. There is something for everyone, you may just find your next favorite author. One of my favorite stories was Flirty Dancing. The author brought the story to life, it has humor and steam. Kitty finds herself in The Green Room after falling and smashing her head. But you will have to read this to find out what The Green Room is but you won’t regret picking up this anthology, a must read!

Burning Britely by Deidre Huesmann was a short teen love story. This story was refreshing, and light hearted for the most part. I enjoyed the characters and the story line. I love that the story line is not a typical love story, and they go outside the box. This is the first book by this author and I enjoyed it, I will definitely give another book by this author a read. Overall, I give it 4 stars.
I was pleasantly surprised when I saw this pop up on my feed. I had absolutely adored Flowers in December and was left wanting more, not with loose ends, but still wanting some more of Connor and what would come next for him. This was that and so much more. We just happen to get a lot more than we may have even bargained for. I would highly recommend that you read the first book, Flowers in December before devouring this one, everything will flow and make sense so much more. This one is obviously a holiday/Christmas story but I really feel as is I will be pulling this gem out any time of year, whenever I need an emotional and yet encouraging read. I almost feel as if these two books together would create a great Hallmark Christmas movie. I can’t wait to find out what will come next from Jane Suen! I am sure it will fantastic whatever it will be, and on my to be read list! Happy reading!

Blade’s Edge is the 10th, yes 10th book in the Satan’s Devils MC series. Each of them can be read as a standalone novel, this being no exception. With that said, I would recommend that you read the all though, least important is order, but this will really give you the commeraderre and family story that really is truly the real beauty behind a motorcycle club. Manda Mellett has really accomplished bringing to life a great family here and I have loved following along the way with each one of the books.
Blade’s story was every bit as intense as I had anticipated it would be. Figuring out the horrible details of his childhood and his mother’s betrayal was heartbreaking. Watching him destroy himself in the the process of learning he is worthy of love was both beautiful and tragic. I enjoyed Tash as the leading gal in this one. She balanced Blade well I think in the long run. For me she got to be a bit much at times but really it all came to make a great overall novel so I can’t complain. Can’t wait to see what will come next from the ever talented Manda Mellett.

Daniela had everything going for her, she and her best friend were in college having a great time. Until a couple of tragic nights happen that send everything spiraling out of control for Daniela.
We jump ahead to Dani at a different college. She is struggling with trusting others, especially men. She has a set schedule for work and school that she follows exactly. When a hot guy comes into the coffee shop where she works, he causes her to feel things she hasn’t felt in a very long time. She ends up growing very close to Nathan, so close that she sees him as a best friend but he wants more. Then she meets Alex, which throws even more of a wrench into things.
We learn even more about Alex and Nathan. Nathan had me at hello, I really loved him and Dani would frustrate me with the choices she would make. Alex was ok but not my first choice. We get even more of a twist when someone starts to stalk Dani, bringing up feelings from the past. My emotions were all over the place with the twist and turns. The secondary characters were great, I loved Bridget. M.L. Garcia has done a great job of pulling me right in with her writing. I loved this book and I can’t wait to read more from her.

Coming Home: The Sequel to Flowers in December By Jane Suen. This is an incredible heartwarming story about forgiveness and more. From Page one I knew I was in for a wonderful story. The characters are relatable and you find yourself really pulling for them. The author knows how to to pull on the heartstrings of readers. I definitely found myself on an emotional roller coaster but it’s so worth it. I couldn’t put it down until the very end. I’m gladly giving this book a five star review and highly recommend it to anyone. It’s a short read but it definitely shouldn’t be missed!

I have really become a bit of a fan-atic over the Bayou Devils MC Series from AM Myers. Every single time I finished one of them I say that this was the best and that they just couldn’t possibly get any better, yet I am time and time again proven wrong. Little Do You Know has by no sure surprise put the other books in a completely different level. I could not believe how raw and emotional the feelings got in here. Life and the absolute messes that prove to surround any love story, good or bad, is all portrayed here in this book. It is wonderfully real and I felt as if I was right there with Noah and Kady. So often I wanted to reach in and hug Noah, shake Kady, throw my kindle across the wall, and yet scream if it left my hands. I just know this, I couldn’t get enough. My only solace coming from the fact that the next Bayou Devils book is set to release in May. (2019) I am sure that it will once again be everything and more than I can hope for! Till then happy reading!

If the Shoe Fits by Bea Stevens is the third book in The Liberty Lawrence series. This can be read as a stand alone book but I recommend reading the first two books before this one. Libby is advancing in her career but has gotten herself into some crazy happenings again. She is still the fashionista and working in the fashion department of the paper. I love the humor in these books and the characters. Libby is over the top at times but is a good person. She gets herself into some funny situations. I also like the supporting characters and how everyone plays a part in the story. I enjoyed this as I did the other two books. These are a great, lighthearted read when you need to relax and have a laugh. I look forward to more from Bea Stevens in the future.

This contemporary romance – all the feels. All of them. It doesn’t get stuck in the western stereotype. The characters are relatable and the plot moves well. This book grabs you on page one and doesn’t let go until it ends. I loved it and cannot wait to go back to read the other books in this series.

Coming Home: The Sequel to Flowers in December by Jane Suen was a sweet fast-paced novella. Coming Home was told from multiple points of view and I recommend that you read Flowers in December to get a better understanding of what’s happening.
It has been four months since Connor’s mother’s death and he has decided to come home for his first Christmas without her. He runs into an old face and someone he has thought about for months but has that person moved on?
This was a wonderfully written novella. But I need more, you left me wanting to know what is going to happen next.

Betty Shreffler’s Claimed Royalty is the first book in the Crowned and Claimed series. The theme of this story is unique and the author has tackled this in a creative and thrilling way. Fiora, who is the Princess of this story, is torn between duty to her country and following her heart. Reading how this unfolds, I enjoyed the story more by each chapter. Life certainly isn’t easy when tough choices have to be made, including choosing between multiple suitors. Then there is Matheas, Fiora’s bodyguard, who stands out on his own within this story. There is drama, steaming chemistry, suspense and danger throughout this first book of the series which keeps the reader fully engaged. I am anxiously awaiting the next book in the series knowing how well this story was written. I need to know what happens next!

Coming Home by Jane Suen is the sequel to the great Flowers in December. This book does really need to be read in order as it continues on from book one. It is a relatively short read, just like the first, but it has everything in it you could want. After reading the blurb I wasn’t sure how I was going to feel throughout this book but the author does an brilliant job with it. It is highly emotional and packs so much into a small story. The characters all seem to have such a depth to them that carries the story well. I thoroughly enjoyed this book from start to finish.

Burning Britely is a cute coming of age story. Deidre Huesmann has taken a sensitive subject matter into a beautiful story. Sometimes it is awkward enough to try to get through high school without being harass for being yourself. This is a story of a nerd who falls in love with the jock, the only difference is that it is a straight jock and a homosexual nerd. I love this story because it shows acceptance and not hate. It is hard enough when you are being labeled but it can be tortured and have lasting affects the rest of your life. As an adult reading the YA book, I would recommend that every child read a story of acceptance. I applauded Deidre Huesmann for writing this beautiful book.

Luke (The McKades of Texas #3) By Kimberly Lewis Rated 5 stars!!
OMG!!! I floved this story! I was drawn in from the beginning and dang if I could hardly put this one down! So glad I have the kindle app on my phone. I was able to keep reading while out and about. Phew! Crisis averted! Usually I am a fan of the male lead. In this story Karlie is my favorite. She is strong, sassy and confident. She knows what she wants and goes after it. Now saying that I will also say that Luke and Karlie together are adorable..like off the charts adorable!! Their back and forth is one of my favorite things they do. Oh and maybe how she twists him up and he does things for her he has never done before. So sweet!
Karlie is in a tough spot. Trying to change a mans mind about her or actually see her as she is..not as a little girl from his youth. That is why this is so good! She is so confident as she pulls different stunts on him saying…I’m a woman…see ME!! My personal enjoyment started near the beginning when Luke and Karlie meet up at the restaurant. Priceless! I loved being inside his head! It only get better from there!!
Secondary characters are all around in this book. Most are from the previous two stories ( which I have not read). They all add cute little elements to the story! The bantering between the girls is so cute! Many times is feel myself sitting here smiling while reading. The brothers enjoy doing all things to each other (ribbing, joking and sugaring up the young ones) that siblings have for eons. The parents and other family members make them see what is important in life and what isn’t.
I was sooo excited to see the on audio!! It is just as I imagined it would be and again I find myself smiling as I’m listening. It just puts me in a happy mood. It really makes time at the gym go a little faster when listening to something so good. Tiffany Williams does a wonderful job narrating. I have listened to her before and she is enjoyable. She was a good choice
This is my first story in this series and by this author. I loved both the story and the characters in here! If the other two are written along the same lines. I will gobble them up as well. This one will be placed on my reread book shelf. If you are reading this far and have made a decision yet? I highly recommend this if you want to fun in your romances. Very enjoyable and well done!

I have read a couple of books from this talented author and she keeps on surprising me. This is the second book in the Flowers of December series. I absolutely love a good self healing story but this author exceeded all my expectations. This is a short book but it has it all. I devoured this incredible story in only a couple of hours.
Connor Norton finds himself back to his hometown. He left for a few months to grieve is mother’s passing. Connor still feels lost without her but her cat Tom makes him feel better. He is happy when he runs into Mary Ann again. Connor cares about her and he wants to start over again. He is still trying to find himself again as well. Will coming home help him with his life or will it make it even more upsetting?
I absolutely loved this book. The storyline has it all romance, hope, healing, and forgiveness. You will fall in love with these characters all over again. Connor is lost without his mom. He thinks that coming back home will give him closure so he can move on. Mary Ann is living her dream but she wishes she had someone to share it with. She is still upset with Connor but a Christmas miracle could happen. I can’t wait to see what this amazing author will have for us next.

I have previously read and reviewed LUKE in print. Let me tell you – actually HEARING it is a whole different experience. Because I’m a fast reader, I tend to skim over more detailed portions of stories. While listening to it, I was able to hear every word written (spoken). While at times the writing was overly detailed, I understand why it is written the way it is. I did speed up the voice a bit so the very detailed passages were ok to listen to.
The narrator did a fantastic job. Voice inflections and accents made it listening a pleasure. I also found the narrator’s voice to be very soothing, almost meditative.
I would recommend reading and listening to this book.

This is a fantastic box set of stories – all of them are absolutely hilarious! I love this author and her books never fail to entertain me. I am always dragged straight into her stories and the characters she creates are wonderful. This box set includes D*ckslip, Nipslip and Beaver Blunder.
D*ckslip – Book 1 Oh my god this book had me full on laughing out loud by the end of the first few pages. There was nothing missing from this book, apart from the fact it ended! I could have read about Andy (Andrea) and Rafe forever. Andy was a great character, she stood up for what she believed and tried not to back down in a male dominated workplace. Poor Rafe, I did feel for him but for some reason I wish I was at that basketball game!! *wink wink* I really like his character as he was genuinely a lovely person. I really did love everything about this book and loved that it wasn’t predictable. It was as I expected from this author brilliantly written, fantastic characters and a great storyline. The secondary characters were also great especially Rafe’s (older by 6 minutes) sister, she made me laugh a few times!
Nipslip – Book 2 I know by now that whenever I pick up a book by this author I am in for an entertaining read and NipSlip was no different. Having just read and loved DickSlip I was really looking forward to another romantic comedy to laugh at and laugh I did at this book! I loved it from beginning to end. I just loved Riley and Tate. Poor Riley I really did feel sorry for her with her wardrobe malfunction, but it did make me chuckle! I loved the chemistry between the two; I was definitely rooting for them the whole way through. I think I might just be a little bit in love with Tate if I am completely honest!!
Beaver Blunder – Book 3
After reading the first two books in this series I had no idea where the author would go with any subsequent stories but she has absolutely knocked it out of the park with this book! I was literally crying at some parts (crying from laugher I should add). I know when I read a book from Gwyn McNamee not to even bother doing anything else because I won’t be able to take my eyes off my kindle screen and that was true again! I loved by D*ck slip and Nip Slip but this one is my absolute favourite! I loved all of the characters, especially Maddie and Owen and it was great to see characters from previous stories appear too! Maddie, that poor, poor girl. I really did feel sorry for her! But I loved her tenacity and the way in which she was determined to get back to work despite what happened. I loved the connection between her and Owen and well I have got to be honest I am totally in love with Owen – completely and utterly head over heels in love with him! I don’t know how this author manages to come up with such amazing characters who are never the same! She truly is a literary master!!
This is a sweet story about friendship, family and finding love where you least expect it. I enjoyed this fast paced story from beginning to end. In this installment Ella may just find herself in love this time as she travels with her family around Europe. Her story is full of humor and cry in other parts a little bit. The characters are strong and easily relatable and connectable. This really is a fun story to read and I highly recommend picking it up.
