I have absolutely devoured this series. I can’t seem to get enough of James and Sarah! I have loved seeing how their relationship has grown since the previous books. They have had such the rocky road but their struggles are very relatable so it was nice to see how they handled everything. Phoebe Alexander has a way to bringing very real issues in life into her stories and we see the very real struggles the characters go through. All three of these books were so hard to put down. I cannot wait to read more from Miss Alexander

Imposter An Ash Park Novel (Volume 7) by Meghan O’Flynn 4 Stars!!!!
Once again I delve into the thriller and intrigue of detective Petrosky and once again I was not let down. The author has a unique writing style that is chilling from the beginning to the end. I don’t normally like psychological thrillers but I made an exception for this series and I must say that each book just gets better and better.
Petrosky is really haunted by his past and the demons that are in it, but that doesn’t stop him from getting to the bottom of the case. I found that this case really hit home to him as it was about children. I found that the author really brings the characters and the whole world she has created to life. I felt as though I was there as the thriller unfolded. I look forward to reading more from this author in the future.
Devil’s Spawn (Satan’s Devils MC Colorado Chapter #6) By Manda Mellett 5 out of 5 stars
I loved reading the book Devil’s Spawn (Satan’s Devils MC Colorado Chapter #6) by Manda Mellett. It is the next exciting story in a series that I have loved reading since the first book. The story includes suspense, danger, and romance. I enjoyed reading about the characters of Vanna and Mace. Vanna is a strong, independent woman. She has had to be as it has fallen to her to raise her son when her husband’s brain injury caused him memory loss, unable to remember either of them. Now she is wanting to get Cas, her son, help as he is going down the wrong path. Will her husband still not remember her and his son? Mace is a man who doesn’t feel the need to settle down. He is fine being a bachelor. Why does he feel the need to protect the girl who has come to them for help in removing a tattoo? What does the future hold for Vanna? What does it hold for Mace and the Colorado Chapter of Satan’s Devils? Read this book to find out. This story had me on the edge of my seat and turning pages to find out what is going to happen next. I love the characters that are new and enjoy reading about the ones from the previous books. This series just keeps getting better with each story I read. Don’t miss out on this story and series. Highly recommended.

Blood Rebellion (Supernatural Intelligence Agency Book 1) By Nadine Travers 5 out of 5 stars
The story Blood Rebellion (Supernatural Intelligence Agency Book 1) by Nadine Travers is a fantasy/action/adventure book. It is a story that I found to be fast-paced and has suspense, thrills, and some romance. I loved reading about the character of Casey. She is strong, independent, and on a mission. It involves bringing in the rogue vampire, Damaris. This sets her on a path where she begins to uncover a conspiracy and rebellion in the paranormal community. Will Casey catch Damaris? Will she find out who has hatched a ploy to shift the balance of power? Read this book to find out. This story does have plenty of action and danger. I love how the author writes as I felt like I was right there with Casey on her mission. I was rooting for her to succeed. There are several other characters that are introduced and while some assist and help Casey, still others have their own plans and agenda. Will they succeed? I enjoyed how the author builds the world and agencies that are all involved. I have always enjoyed books about the paranormal world and this book is a good example of why. Don’t miss out on an exciting book. I highly recommend it.

Blood Rebellion by Nadine Travers an other worldly five-star read. This is the first novel in the Supernatural World Agency: World 1 and I am so eager for he rest of the series. Casey reminds me of so many amazing women I have read in the past, this is a very busy genre and you always come across similar concepts, but the writing in this one has a freshness to it and fight to keep you hooked. This is action packed and keeps going in every page, I felt like I had been part of an epic story when I finished and its short enough to read quickly, do yourself and favour and pick this story up. I hadn’t read the author previously but will definitely be reading more.

Casey is a day walker and she works for a company meant to keep the vampires under control and within the law.
The supernatural beings are split into fractions that shouldnt mix however there is an increasing number of mixed spieces becoming mates.
Along with this someone is building a group made up of every supernatural beings to go up against their current way of life.
No one knows who is behind this or the true reason for it but Casey, her mate Duncan and the rest of the supernatural beings needs to put a stop to it.
It will be a war, people will die but it needs to stop. Its an actioned packed story full of twists and turns and keeps you hooked.
While serving as a Marine, my husband survived when an explosion took out the transport he was travelling in. He lived but suffered a traumatic brain injury which wiped his memory.
What do you do when your husband doesn’t recognise you or his young son? What if living together is doing neither of you any favours? After two years of trying and we still weren’t more than strangers, I accepted defeat and we parted.
Cas, our son, has grown into an unruly teenager, getting into trouble and needing a father’s guiding hand. At my wits’ end, I set out to find his dad, hoping after all these years, he might have his memory back, or at least, be persuaded to play some part in the life of the son he didn’t accept he had.
Mace
Lizard had been right to worry about the girl wanting her ‘Property of’ tat removed. Putting a patch on someone has meaning in our world. Before we covered it up, we needed to discover who had claimed her as theirs.
I’m a confirmed bachelor, but when we found out who’d put their name on her back, I was one of the first to offer my protection to her, and the kid she brought along with her.
Manda’s life’s always seemed a bit weird, starting with a childhood that even today she’s still trying to make sense of, then losing her parents in the late teens. Going from the tragic to the bizarre, who else could be unlucky enough to have had two car accidents, neither her fault, one involving a nun, and another involving a police woman?
There isn’t enough space to list everything that’s happened to Manda, or what she’s learned from it. But by using the rich fabric of her personal life, psychology degree, varied work experiences, and amazing characters she’s met, Manda is able to populate her books with believable in-depth characters and enjoys pitting them against situations which challenge them. Her books are full of suspense, twists and turns and the unexpected.
Manda lives in the beautiful countryside of Essex in the UK, the area’s claim to fame being the Wilkin’s Jam Factory at nearby Tiptree. She can usually find jars of jam which remind her of home wherever she goes. As well as writing books and reading, Manda loves walking her dogs and keeping fit. She lives with her husband of over 30 years, who, along with her son, is her greatest fan and supporter.
Manda is thankful that one of the more unusual, and at the time unpleasant, turns her life took, now enables her to spend her time writing. Confirming, in her view, every cloud has a silver lining.

A rogue vampire is on the loose, and it’s Casey’s mission to drag him back to Vampire Internal Affairs headquarters to face justice. It’s a job only a daywalker like her can handle, and she’s the best there is.
While tracking down Damaris, Casey uncovers a new threat within the supernatural community that makes no sense, and she teams up with the SIA (Supernatural Intelligence Agency) to help her solve the mystery and bring Damaris to justice.
But things keep getting deeper and muddier, and as she unveils a decade-old conspiracy, she discovers more secrets than she was expecting and one that will change her life forever.
Damaris calls it a rebellion. It seems that some in the paranormal community are fed-up with the factions dividing the different species, and they are ready to destroy everything in order to shift the balance of power.
With the combined powers of her supernatural crew, she only has one chance to discover the true villain—but is she willing to risk it all in a dangerous game?

Mountains Series Boxed Set contains books 1-3 in the series, which is James and Sarah’s story. It is a superb contemporary military romance, that packs quite an emotional punch- as well as fully opening the door on a polyamorous relationship with all the sizzle and heat that goes with it. Here’s my review for book one to give you a taste of what to expect:
Mountains Wanted is the first book in the Mountains Trilogy by Phoebe Alexander. It is a though provoking, wonderfully written, erotic contemporary romance. Dr. Sarah Lynde is a 36 year old Sociology Professor and a very loving and supportive single parent to her two children, Owen and Abby. Sarah absolutely adores teaching whilst also being very open minded and sexually adventurous- but she does have rules when it came to dating and sex- and she definitely isn’t interested in a long term relationship or being tied down to the one person. James McAllister is a 29 year old First Sergeant in the Army. He is a clean cut, wholesome looking, all American farm boy turned military man- who captured Sarah’s attention the moment she laid eyes on him. She wasn’t normally attracted to military types and usually dated academic or artistic types- but something about him fascinated her, and there was no denying that their chemistry was incredibly intense. They start off on a friendly basis, which then leads to more. But as things begin to get complicated, they both will need to decide what it is they truly want. Secrets will be revealed that will impact the both of them. What happens? Well, you’re going to have to read the story to find out because I don’t want to give away any spoilers. This book is nothing like I thought it would be. The blurb is good, but it really doesn’t convey just how interesting and unique this story really is. Phoebe Alexander writes beautifully, producing a passionate, erotic, funny, emotional, educational, and entirely captivating story. This story has ‘life’ and ‘energy’ about it; it definitely showcases the authors writing skills that’s for sure. The story flows well and has a great pace. I read it in one sitting and am really looking forward to more, as the story is set to continue in the next book. I can’t wait!!!
All I will say is that this series is SO worth the read!!!

Mountains Loved is the third book in the Mountains series by Phoebe Alexander. This book picks up a little after the conclusion of book two, so I really recommend reading the first two books before starting on this one as this isn’t a standalone and is meant to be read as part of the series. The first two books have really important details which you will need to fully understand and appreciate this book. James and Sarah have gone through a lot, climbing their mountains, through every stage of this series- and just when they are finally together and looking towards the future they’d envisioned together- life throws them yet another mountain to climb. Is their love strong enough to see them through, or will this be the one mountain that proves too difficult to traverse? I felt this was the most emotive of the three books so far- full of passion, heartbreak, love, tears, and joy. This story had my emotions strapped to a bungee cord, diving and then soaring, and plunging again, all over the place. Playing with my emotions is something I have found that Ms. Alexander does incredibly well, and on a regular basis, through all her books. Wonderful!

This was a lovely story to read. The book follows Drew and Marielle, a song writer and a singer. They first meet at music camp, and spend the summer falling in love. When summer is over Drew has to make some difficult choices after a family argument and ends up enlisting in the airforce. The couple make a pact, to wait for each other until they can be reunited. After Drew is sent to Iraq it becomes more difficult to stay in touch. Kisses beneath a strawberry moon is a sweet story, it’s easy to read and a perfect story to get cosy and while away an afternoon with.

The Bar Next Door (Barflies Book 1) by Katia Rose – Review by Gail Guerrero
Four Stars
This is my first story by this author. I thought it would be interesting read just by the summary. As the story progressed I learned that people can be truly selfish. Monroe was a tough character. She was hard for me to like. I felt her animosity throughout the whole beginning. I understood the reason but I didn’t agreed with how she went about it. I would feel some type of way as well but I wouldn’t take it out on the one wanting something better. The story flowed nice and it wasn’t overwhelming. It did take me a little longer to read just because I couldn’t find the vibe and enjoy I have with other books. I did enjoy certain parts. Like the cage and his bond with his family. The whole dog thing was super cute. The ending wasn’t as I expected so that was a plus

Rockin’ it Home was a great 5 star read and book three in the Lawson Family series. I love rockstar reads, so I was pulled in right from the beginning, especially knowing that Benjamin looked like Rick Springfield.
Benjamin is living the Rockstar life, he has to stay in line and behave, so much so that he has been given a babysitter. And lets just say he is not happy about it. Danielle is in need of a job, this one isn’t the most ideal but it’s a paycheck. Things get complicated as feelings start to develop between them.
Can these two have more? Will they get a HEA?
Overall this was a great read. I really loved both Benjamin and Danielle. Ben was such a great dad to his daughter. There were some things that were challenging for them, groupies, the past and so much more that added a great element to the story. All of the secondary characters were great, it was nice seeing the characters from the first two books as well. We are left with a teaser and I can’t wait to read the next book in the series. 1-click and get started today on this great series. Each book can be read as stand alones.

5 Star Rockin’ It Home: a Lawson Family Novel by Tracey Cramer-Kelly is a wonderfully written story about second chances and new beginnings. This is my favorite of this series yet. I highly recommend reading the first two books in this series if you haven’t already. I found myself lost in the pages and couldn’t stop reading till I finished. This is Ben and Danielle ‘s story. He feels more at home while on stage and is good at performing and written He also struggles constantly with drinking so he gets a personal assistant to try and help keep him in line. She finds herself “babysitting “ Ben or so she feels like it is. These two fall into a workable yet comfortable working relationship . But what will happen when it turns into more than that? Can these two have a future together? Find out what happens next in this must read series!.

This book is a young adult romance set in 1990s Italy. There is a lot of teenage drama and angst, which I don’t really like to be perfectly honest, because it just seems really superficial, like they’re too young, and there just wasn’t really much plot. I appreciated a lot of what the main character Leda feels in that it speaks to the realities of life as a teenage girl and the mess of relationships and is thus insightful. At the same time, the pacing is a bit off and the relationship between Leda and her mother Starry isn’t explored as much as I would have liked. Nevertheless, I enjoyed following Leda’s journey, having read Book #2.

The Bar Next Door is the first book in the Barflies series by Katia Rose and I loved every minute of reading it. It is a RomCom book which I mean with that alone you can’t go wrong. This book was an easy read and I found myself unable to put the book down. The characters in this story were written great and you couldn’t help but love them. Monroe, she is sassy, smart and such a strong woman and then you have Julien who is a sexy Frenchman who is charming. The chemistry between these two is hot! Highly recommend this book if you want a fun read that teaches you some too.

Going into the third book, I was already invested in James and Sarah’s relationship from the beginning and I needed to know where their relationship was going to take them. You must read these books in order so that you can get the full picture of how these two got to where they are now. In this book they have run into some issues that were emotional and I felt every one one them jumping off the pages. The author does an exceptional job writing this story and conveying different things that may come with this lifestyle. I absolutely loved this story. I won’t give anything away but this is a must read. I highly recommend this book.

I’m a massive sucker for “my brother’s best friend” books. They always hook me and I always have to read them. This book definitely hooked me from the very beginning and there was no way I wasn’t going to read it in one sitting!
Sadie and Archer were perfection! Sadie was the cutest and was terrified to be in love with her TWIN brother’s BF. Archer was perfection! He was dominant when needed then he’s romantic.
This book had everything I ever wanted in a book and then some! I can’t wait to read more from this author!

Flowers in December Trilogy by Jane Suen Four Stars
Flowers in December is a self enlightening story by Jane Suen. I have read three or four books by Ms. Suen, but I have to say I think this my favorite so far. This story has a personal element for me, having lost my grandmother this last year. This short story was beautifully written and very emotional. This book had me from the first page to the last. Conner Norton’s struggle with grief is prominent in this story as he returns to his hometown town for his mother’s funeral. After the funeral he stays to get his family affairs in order, which brings on self reflection. This book took me on an emotional roller coaster, I definitely needed my box of tissues. Conner’s strength of character made this story flow. I highly recommend this book.
Coming Home by Jane Suen
Coming Home: The Sequel To Flowers in December by Jane Suen. This is the continuation of Connor’s story as he comes home for Christmas. This book could be read as a standalone, but I would highly recommend that you read it in order to get the full story. This is a feel good romance full of ups and downs. I was hooked on the very first page and couldn’t put it down until the last. The ups and downs gave me all the feels and I truly enjoyed this story. I highly recommend this book, series and author.
Second Chance: The Conclusion of the Flowers in December Trilogy by Jane Suen
Second Chance is the last book in the Flowers in December Trilogy and the book I have been waiting for. I have enjoyed the whole series but this book really tied things up. This book could be read as a stand alone, but I highly recommend this series in order. Conner and Mary Ann’s story was sweet and just what I needed after the holidays. Jane Suen does a great job with the short HEA stories that make you feel good reading. I look forward to seeing what she has in store for us next.

Wow! What a great story. In Summer Princess (Dark Fae Book 1) Sloan Murphy gives us everything a great story is made of. Love, revenge, heartache, forgiveness, wild action, and adventure. This book kept me in suspense till the very end and I thought I had it figured out. Let’s just say…. I was caught off guard and can’t wait till I read the next one.
Amy McKinley is becoming one of my go-to stand out authors! She continues to create reads that captivate you and bring you along on her characters journeys. While this is a quick read it doesn’t lack in anything its full to the brim with romance, steaminess, suspense & action! This is a fast-paced read that flows effortlessly and is well developed with amazing characters and a storyline that draws you in from the very beginning. I can’t wait to read more from this series and this author!
Prophecy Girl by Ravin Maurice seemed a little slow to get started but she builds really good characters and gives us a really well described world. This is Camille’s first client as a private investigator and she doesn’t expect things to get as weird as they get. This was a pretty good book, it certainly kept me turning the pages.

I Loved Loved Loved this read! What a brilliant introduction to this author I sure will be reading more from this author after reading this. This author has created characters that are incredible to read about and follow their undeniable chemistry and connection. This was a steamy romance read that I was unable to put down until the very end. There was also an added level of excitement with it being a forbidden romance, but you couldn’t help but want Sadie & Archer together and to get a HEA. I can’t wait to read more from this author and see where else she take us!

The Red Riding Hood (Down the Rabbit Hole) Anthology is a book packed with steamy little short stories. Who knew there were so many ways to retell a favorite fairy tale. Memorable is the story called Ruby by Autumn Sand. Our heroine shares the heart ache of breast cancer and divorce. It’s a steamy little story for sure but Ruby shares with us through her story the difficult task of coming to terms with what we think about ourselves. I think my favorite story of them all was Cloaked by Lia Fairchild. Fairly tame, without all the hot and steamy. What I think I liked best about it was it reminded me more of Romeo and Juliet, just without the senseless tragedy. I came away from that little story with a real good feeling.
Red Riding Hood (Down the Rabbit Hole) is a fantastic collection of stories from twelve talented authors who each weave their own version of the classic fairytale “Little Red Riding Hood”. As such, each story is quite individual to the author, having their own unique take on the theme, and creating their own identity, mood and tone within the collection. There is so much to love about this anthology, from being based on a favourite classic- the authors also give us so many genres to enjoy: everything from romance, erotica, BDSM, reverse harem, fantasy, paranormal, psychological, post -apocalyptic, and even a little horror- just to keep things interesting. There is definitely something here to suit everyone. So, do yourself a favour, grab a copy and dive in. The stories and authors are:
– Ruby By: Autumn Sand – Finding Red By: Natalie-Nicole Bates – Cloaked By: Lia Fairchild – The Wolves Den By: Laci Page – Falling For The Hood: A Fairy Tale Retold By: Amy Allen – Redd’s Wolves By: D.A Stein – Little Red’s: A Red Riding Hood Short Story By: Darlene Tallman – River Runs Red By: Kay Elle Parker – Magic of Merlot By: Lorah Jaiyn – Redbourne By: Natalia Schellhaas – Brother Wolfe By: Ceecee Elaine – Waking Red By: Jess Bagnall
The book and stories pulled me in right from the beginning and kept me entertained the whole way through. I kept turning the pages to discover what new situation, genre and characters I would discover next. There were so many varied characters in this anthology- from a cancer survivor, to various shifters, MC bikers, hunters, an actress, Witches, and a wildlife officer, just to name a few. Some of these authors I know and love, while others are ‘new to me’- which is exciting to find more books and authors to add to my TBR. If you love the classic “Red Riding Hood” and enjoy a variety of genres and some really well written stories with interesting characters- then this is definitely the book for you!
Rockin’ It Home: a Lawson Family Novel by Tracey Cramer-Kelly 4 Stars!!!!
Once again I have delved into the Lawson family’s world and I was not let down. I was grabbed from page one and eager to see how all would end. I like how the author is able to use the characters pasts and the demons to enhance the story and to bring the characters to life. I found that the book really had a realistic vibe and that kept my attentions.
The chemistry between Ben and Danielle is quite unique. The way that the whole tension between them builds slow makes for a more enjoyable read and makes things more realistic. I like the fact that their romance doesn’t spark straight away and it builds over time making the book not predictable. I found that the author’s use of his troubles and demons makes him try to not act on his feelings then with Danielle’s lack of self confidence it makes things more relate able. I will definitely be reading more from this author in the future and hopefully this series.

I have absolutely loved reading the Mountains series from Phoebe Alexander. These books ring home for me and I absolutely love reading about alternative lifestyles in a healthy and accurate way. I have included my reviews for each separate book below. I love how this is conveniently in a box set to be enjoyed and gifted now! I can’t wait to get my hands on the next ones in the series!
Mountains Wanted: Book #1~
I sincerely can not say enough good things about Phoebe Alexander’s novels and the way she manages to take a taboo or unfamiliar subject and spin it into the beautiful love stories that she pens. Mountains Wanted is a perfect example of that and a series that I have come to love a lot! These new covers make you want to read the book just from them alone too. In Mountains Wanted we get the story of Dr. Sarah Lynde, a single mum of two and a professor. We also get a glimpse of her polyamory way of life that she lives with her beaus that come into play, James McAllister and others that will come into the picture as well.
I adored how this was so real and raw. I personally live a poly lifestyle so for me this book was such a close hit home. Communication is something that we are always working on, 24/7/365 it is very necessary part of the polyamorous life. You get that from reading Sara’s story and can see how things work a lot like they would in a traditional or mainstream relationship, just multiplied by the amount of people that you find your soul connected to.
One note I want to make is that this book is the beginning of a fabulous series and this story will not wrap up in Mountains Wanted. You will want to read the next book and the next I can promise you that but just a heads up because I know some like to start series all together. I can’t wait to dive in deeper in the next book, Mountains Climbed!
Mountains Climbed: Book #2 ~
I can’t believe that I am about to say this but the Mountains series from Phoebe Alexander is quickly becoming my favorite of hers. That is super hard for me to say because I adored her Eastern Shore Swingers series so much it became a regular read in my life.
With the Mountains series we get to see more of the hot and emotional romance that we have come to expect and love from Alexander. I absolutely adore that she takes an unconventional lifestyle and makes it seem so well, conventional. The emotions and the life changes that happen to the characters become extremely deep and embedded in your soul as you read. I walked away from this book feeling as if Sarah was very real and a much loved person I wish I could meet. The supporting characters get more of a voice in this book, especially James and boy do I love that man. So much emotions got brought to the surface and I can’t wait to see what will come next in the third book!
Mountains Loved: Book #3~
I have to say I am so freaking grateful for the realistic and accurate as well as detailed alternative lifestyle stories we get from Phoebe Alexander. She will always bring the sass, drama, and realness with her novels and I have never been more grateful to see some literature that I personally can relate to on a personal level like I do with her novels. This book did all of these things and more, keeping me on the edge of my seat to find out which fork in the road our characters will take and the consequences that come with those choices.
Mountains Loved in the third book in her Mountains series and so far now my new favorite, which is hard for me to say since I adored the second book too! DO NOT read these books out of order! I sincerely feel like you would be missing so much that makes these storylines flow if you did so. The story progresses and follows through each consecutive book. The story will provoke feelings in you that you didn’t know you had the capacity to feel for someone who is ‘made up.’ I found myself both chuckling and tearing up at many points and I just love a book that makes me want to crawl into my bed deeper and get lost in the world I am reading about. The Mountains series will take you there far away to the mountains where you will fall in love all over again. I can’t wait to get my hands on the next books!

Benjamin Lawson is a rockstar. He loves to perform, but faces many battles away from the stage. He is a recovering alcoholic who just wants to keep his visitation rights to see his daughter. Danielle is set the task of ‘babysitting’ Ben, keeping him away from trouble and alcohol. The main characters in this story are full of depth. The author really takes the time to help the reader get to know them. I really appreciate this as it helps me become even more invested. The story is a slow burner romance wise, and by the end you are really rooting for these guys! I will definitely read the other books in the Lawson Family series.

Wow! I didn’t realize how much I needed a hot steamy and funny read until I finished 2am Secrets by M. Piper. I had read some heavy books up until this one and it was a breath of light fresh air when I least expected it. I wasn’t sure what I would get because I have not read M. Piper previous to this novel, but I knew from the sexy and bright cover and the blurb I would probably be pleasantly surprised, and I was so glad to say that I was! This book had it all and was written with finesse and passion that just jumped off the kindle screen into my head as if I was right there with the characters.
This may be an age old story line, girl falls in love with her best friend’s brother but he is off limits, but it is written in a way that still seemed fresh and relevant to now. I found myself laughing out loud and fanning myself as I read several times. The two main characters, Sadie and Archer are amazing and strong in each their own ways which makes them and their story more reasonable and believable. I loved how it ended and I am so looking forward to going to find out what else is already available by M. Piper while I anxiously await the newest thing from her!
