2am Secrets2am Secrets by M. Piper
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

2AM Secrets by M. Piper is a first for me by this author and I enjoyed the story very much. This intriguing story had all the right ingredients for a hot and steamy romance, there is the hot best friend of the hot but moody brother, love and loss, heartbreak and heartache, secrets and lies, laughter and hot and sizzling sexy time. I absolutely fell in love with the characters and Ms Piper did a great job on them and with the telling of her story.

Archer has loved her for so long he can’t imagine not having her in his life, but he wants more. Unfortunately, there is one thing standing in his way, his best friend. But doesn’t he deserve to have what he wants?

Sadie is always dancing around the man she has loved her whole life, but it can never be, all because he is her brother’s best friend and that is a definite no go no matter what her heart wants.

I loved it so much I need to have more.

Brutal & Raw: Mafia Romance & Psychological Thriller (Beneventi Family Book 1) by Sonya Jesus – Review by Karyn Taylor

Brutal & Raw (Beneventi Family, #1)Brutal & Raw by Sonya Jesus
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Brutal & Raw is Book 1 in the Beneventi Series by Sonya Jesus. Jesus is a new author to me and if this book is anything to go by then I’m sure this series is going to be outstanding. I absolutely loved this book. I was instantly gripped from the very beginning and was not let go until the story ended. Even then, I think I was still enmeshed in this fantastically woven tale.
Lyla Vaughn has escaped from the clutches of mafia boos Breaker Beneventi and has no intention of ever being captured by him. So why does he still control all her thoughts? And why can’t she forget how good he made her feel at times?
Breaker Beneventi has recently killed his mafia boss father and has taken over the family. His head is all over the place though and not totally in the game. The one woman who has ever interested him (Lyla, or number 327, as she’s known) has been allowed to escape and he needs her back, to kill her, as she knows far too many of his secrets.
This is a fascinating tale, told from both POV’s as Lyla tries to evade capture by staying at a woman’s refuge and Breaker does everything possible to find her.
The author does a fantastic job of keeping you on the edge of your seat, wondering what the hell is going to happen next. I can add that there are a few curveballs thrown that I never saw coming and totally surprised the hell out of me.
I guarantee any reader will love this book if you like a good psychological thriller. I really could not put this book down and eagerly anticipate more of this series.

Call of the Alpha (Powder River Pack Book 2) by Brooke May – Review by Jennifer Gordon

Call of the Alpha (The Powder River Pack #2)Call of the Alpha by Brooke May
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Career driven Biologist Rylie Press returns to her hometown and meets single dad and alpha of the Powder River Pack, Mason Fischer and neither can deny their sizzling chemistry. Rylie’s scent alone is enough to convince wolf shifter Mason that she is his ‘mate’. Rylie however is unaware of Mason’s ‘kind’ and so he must convince her that it is fate that they are together.
I loved this paranormal romance featuring wolf shifters who are part of alpha Mason’s pack. The chemistry between the main characters, Rylie and Mason was steamy and instant. I liked how the author wrote the story from both characters points of view and having a detailed backstory of both of them gave real insight into the characters, both of which I loved.
I have not read book 1 in ‘The Powder River Pack’ series but this story worked well as a standalone read, but I’m keen to read book one as I enjoyed this book. A great read.

Mountains Climbed (Mountains Series #2) by Phoebe Alexander – Review by Jennifer Gordon

Mountains Climbed (Mountains, #2)Mountains Climbed by Phoebe Alexander
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Lt. James McAllister and Sociology Professor Dr. Sarah Lynde’s story is continued in ‘Mountains Climbed’, having begun in ‘Mountains Wanted’. This series by Phoebe Alexander just gets better and better. The books do need to be read in order, “The first three Mountains Series books must be read in order, as it is James and Sarah’s continuing saga”.
This is a steamy contemporary romance and it is recommended for age 18+, the sizzling chemistry between the characters definitely leads to some steamy sex scenes!
This book continues where the first one finished with James deployed and engaged to childhood sweetheart Maggie and a devastated Sarah moving on with handsome Garrett Stone. Although Garrett is a good distraction for Sarah, when her and James meet up when he’s home from deployment they can not deny their attraction.
This is a well written story with great characters that I fell in love with in book one and continue to feel part of their world. I am probably bias, but I was cheering Sarah and James on as it’s obvious they should be together but author Phoebe Alexander sends us on an emotional rollercoaster and as there is a third book in the series, we do not discover their fate in this book. I can not wait for Mountains Loved, and I hope that Garrett will get his own story and a happy every after as well.

5-Stars

2am Secrets by M. Piper wasn’t excellent and addictive read. It was romantic, funny, and steamy. Brothers best friend falls for sister. I loved it. Archer was amazing in more ways than one and so was Sadie. Sam, the brother definitely had some issues going on. This was a whirlwind story and I loved the amount of love that existed between everyone, including their sweet Mimi. I also have a Mimi and felt a personal connection here. The storyline moved along very well and was organized. Oh, and the ending was amazing. I mean seriously wow and sweet. This was such a fantastic book and it definitely earned its 5-stars. I highly recommend it.

This is a fantastic paranormal romance. It is the second book in the Powder River Pack series but can be read as a stand-alone. I found the story to be well written and interesting. The characters are wonderful and relatable. The author put a somewhat different twist to werewolves. Obviously they are hot which led to some sizzling scenes with their mates. Mason is drool worthy on top of being the alpha and a single dad. Rylie was a strong female lead yet not infallible. The story is filled with passion, secrets and heartache. With danger added in, the book will keep you on the edge of your seat wondering what will happen next. I think it’s a great addition to the series. Now I need book three to be about Miles because I need to know what happens with that situation.

Forget Nico by Gaia B. Amman is a story about Italian family dynamics. Amman has great attention to detail that makes this YA romance a great read for all. This story reminds me about my teenage years in high school. The whole high school drama which makes this story authentic. The story follows Nico and Leda with insight to their high school romance. Nico and Leda grow throughout the story and we see more and more of the Italian family roles emerging in the story. This is a great read for YA and adults alike.

This is a series I have loved from the beginning and the third book brings it over the top. I highly suggest reading this series in order to help understand Sarah and James’s story better. In this book their story continues. Just when they think they are hitting the top of their mountain, they realize that the mountain has just gotten bigger and there is more to climb. There is something missing in their relationship, will they find it to get their HEA that they have always wanted? They are awesome characters with great chemistry. They make the story come to life, engaging and really made the story for me. I highly recommend reading their must read story, you won’t regret picking it up!

5 out of 5 stars

I loved reading the story Mountains Loved (Mountains Series #3) by Phoebe Alexander. It is the third book in the story of James and Sarah. These two have chemistry and a strong love for each other. They also still have some mountains that they must climb. Situations with family and if they will have an open relationship are complications that they must face. What does the future hold for James and Sarah? Will they be torn apart? Will their relationship crumble or will they overcome the mountains that are before them? Read this book to find out. James and Sarah are wonderful characters and this story only makes me love them even more. This is a book that had my emotions going up and down the entire time I was reading it. There are heartbreaking moments when I had misty eyes and heartwarming moments that are amazing to read about. There are characters from the first two stories brought forward and I enjoyed reading about how their lives are progressing and also how they interact with Sarah and James. This is a book that I found myself thinking about even after I had read the final page. This is a story that deals with trust, past experiences, and grief. It is a book that you don’t want to miss out on. This is a series that is best read in order for a full understanding of what is happening. Highly recommend reading.

I loved reading 2am Secrets by M. Piper. The story is romantic as well as steamy. The temperature in the room will rise when reading. I was pulled in from the beginning and didn’t want to put the book down until I had read the last page. I loved reading about the main characters. She has a crush on her brother’s best friend. He feels the same way about her. There is a strong attraction and the chemistry between them is off the charts. They fit together. They also are keeping their attraction secret from her brother. What would happen if her brother found out? What does the future hold for the two of them? Read this book to find out. This is a story that had my emotions going up and down the whole way through.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is book 2 in the Mountains Series by one of my new favorite authors.
I would say I’m shocked by the Sgt.’s choice but I’m not even if I was rooting for he and the professor to wind up together. You can’t help but to love James as he stays in Sarah’s kids’ lives even though he’s in a relationship with Maggie. Soon, Sarah moves on as well while performing in a play with her daughter. She tries to fall head over heels with Garrett, who she realizes that he’s not worth what she brings to the table. After the deployment, James returns to only be miles away from Sarah, Maggie becomes insecure. I love the way Phoebe Alexander writes as she keeps us vying for her characters and the way their life is in each book. Pick up this second book of the series to see how this story plays out. I hope you enjoy!

Gabriella is a completely sassy character who I just loved reading and Christian can totally sling it right back to her. When a temporary truce is made and a gesture they didn’t se coming, all of a sudden both are questioning themselves and their beliefs towards one another.

I completely loved the banter between the two characters. They kept me on the edge of my seat and their chemistry sizzled off the pages!

Archer was my brother’s best friend. He had been in our lives since before our parents died, he saw us through the wreckage, and he grew up in my brother’s bedroom playing video games.

He should have felt like a brother to me.

But he never did.

New Year’s Eve changed everything.

Hell wasn’t pining after your brother’s best friend in secret for years on end. Hell wasn’t wondering if he even noticed you when you passed him in the hallway at midnight.

No, that wasn’t hell. Hell was knowing how well you fit with someone and not being able to do a damn thing about it. We knew what we were doing. We knew someone would get hurt, but the attraction was too strong.

And we were both too weak.

You can’t keep 2am secrets forever…and when ours crashed, they burned.

Mountains Climbed (Mountains Series #2) by Phoebe Alexander was a great read. I loved Sarah and James and it just wanted them to get together without all the confusion. It wouldn’t feel as raw without it, but when the characters feel like your friends you just want to make everything perfect for them. There are a lot of great plots happening in the background. I felt like Phoebe Alexander did a great job of building the relationships and like with other books it just blends so well.

Forget Nico: Falling for the Wrong Italian (The Italian Saga #3)Forget Nico: Falling for the Wrong Italian by Gaia B. Amman
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Forget Nico: Falling for the Wrong Italian is part of the Italian Teens aka Italian Saga series by Gaia B Amman. I am a little confused on where it falls into line, because it says it is book 1, but there are 2 books prior to this one… Anyway, it is the first book I have read, and while I enjoyed it, it left me wanting more. The book cover drew me in, and states its based on a true story, which drew me in. The description sealed the deal, but I was expecting a little more. I kept expecting and waiting for some big reveal, and it never came. I would describe the book as a typical coming of age story. It follows Leda’s multiple year crush on Nico. There are highs and lows, love and hate, typical changes in teenage friendships. I don’t want to ruin the story, or ending so I won’t give too much away. The book finally came full circle and did wrap up nicely, but it wasn’t fulfilling. I want to know what happens next, so I hope the next book continues the story. And I just found out there is a pre-book which tells of Leda and Nico’s friendship in their younger years, so I recommend reading that first (even though I haven’t yet).
