TWO HEARTS UNLIKELY HEROES (Two Hearts Wounded Warrior Romance Book 8) by Tamara Ferguson – Review by Liz Vrchota

Two Hearts Unlikely Heroes by Tamara Ferguson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I am such a sucker for Tamara Ferguson’s Two Hearts Wounded Warrior series. I have yet to read one by her that I didn’t fall completely head over heels in love with and TWO HEARTS UNLIKELY HEROES is no exception to the rule. I adore that she keeps her stories realistic and reasonable but real and raw. Often there is some sort of touch wounded warrior stuff that can be a heavy topic to discuss or write about but Tamara does it flawlessly and with a passion that is evident from the very first page until the bittersweet last few words.

In TWO HEARTS UNLIKELY HEROES we get the story of Sam and Ben. Sam was attacked brutally and lost some of her friends as well as gained injuries in a convoy attack. One of the men that was with her, the one who made sure to save her life, is Ben. These two find themselves thrust into each others lives and what ensues is some pretty awesome story to read! I can’t wait to see what we will get next from Tamara Ferguson!

Rockin’ It Home: a Lawson Family Novel by Tracey Cramer-Kelly – Review by Jenni Bishop

February 23, 2020/0 Comments/in Reviews /by Jenni Bishop

Rockin’ It Home by Tracey Cramer-Kelly
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Rockin’ It Home: a Lawson Family Novel by Tracey Cramer-Kelly is a story immersed in emotion and is a beautifully written tale. I’ve been waiting for Ben’s story, the characters are complex and deep yet they are loveable with their flaws and all. Tracey gives us a look into the life of a rock star and addiction, second chances and new beginnings, love and family.

Ben is a rocker and wants nothing more than to have his baby girl in his life. Unfortunately his life is not all candy and roses. When his new PA comes into the picture she deals with everything, but sometimes that is not enough but knowing what you want and what you need and that they are right in front of you even if you can’t see it is something else.

Tracey took us on a beautiful journey and I loved that we got to catch up with the characters from the previous books. I look forward to Carly’s book next!

Rockin’ It Home by Tracey Cramer-Kelly
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Rockin’ It Home is the third book in the Lawson Family series from Tracey Cramer-Kelly, and probably my favorite so far. I love how even though this is an orginial story line of a rocker gone rogue needing to clean up his image and falling in love, it still feels like it stands on its own and shines. The story that Tracey Cramer-Kelly has woven is a beautiful one that will draw on your heartstrings and get you cheering for the happily ever after to come. I loved how this was still an emotional story but read fast and didn’t take me forever to wade through. It was a nice smooth read and I found myself finishing it in one sitting.

Benjamin Lawson needs to get his act together for the one person that matters and is left in his life, his daughter. He has some added benefit of Danielle DeLuca to try and fix his rocker image and his father vibes. Will sparks between the two cause more drama or will it help? Then there is a small twist of suspense and intrigue thrown in when we are introduced to a zealous fan of Benjamin’s. I loved this installment and I am so looking forward to seeing what will come next in the following novels!

Mountains Loved (Mountains Series #3) By Phoebe Alexander – Review by Liz Vrchota

February 23, 2020/0 Comments/in Reviews /by Liz Vrchota

Mountains Loved by Phoebe Alexander
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

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!

Out Of The Shadows by Theresa Sederholt – Review by Angelina Frazzini

Out Of The Shadows by Theresa Sederholt
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Out of the Shadows by Theresa Sederholt is a well written book everyone should give a chance.

Dane has a horrific secret. Not only is he ashamed, he knows that exposing his secret comes with great risk. Unfortunately, he can’t keep his secret anymore and he may lose the very person he was protecting because of it.

I didn’t know what to expect when I picked up this book but it was such a deep story. This book was very well written given the subject matter. It really shed light on the lack of resources for men who are victims of domestic violence. It’s really easy to forget that women aren’t the only victims and this book did a great job addressing such a difficult subject. I highly recommend this book!

5-Stars

A Kiss Beneath A Strawberry Moon (Daydreams & Dragonflies Rock ‘N Sweet Romance 3) By Tamara Ferguson was sweet and romantic. I loved Marielle and Drew. Watching their relationship bloom as teens was beautiful. I loved how they were so open and also how much talent they had. This was a beautiful short read. I love that it took place around Crystal Rock and the small town. Thus is a common setting in Ferguson’s books. Such a good read!

A KISS BENEATH A STRAWBERRY MOON by Tamara Ferguson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

A Kiss Beneath A Strawberry Moon is a wonderful sweet romance story by Tamara Ferguson. My usual genre is romance that is a bit more dirty but I have really become a fan of Tamara Ferguson’s sweet romances set in Dragonfly Pointe.
As with many of the others that I have read this is not a full length novel but Ferguson packs so much into her stories that you are not left wanting.
In this book Marielle, an aspiring singer, meets Drew, an up and coming songwriter at a summer camp for aspiring musicians. Both have wonderful futures ahead of them. Marielle is destined to become a huge star and Drew wants to go to college and then into teaching. Both are devoted to each other and are determined to spend their lives together but fate steps in the way. A family disagreement causes Drew to drop out of college and join the military where he is badly injured.
I loved this story of young love. Drew and Marielle are so sweet and their love for each other is so strong. What will happen when Marielle becomes a huge star? How will Drew cope with his injuries and disfigurement and will Marielle still want him? Read this wonderful sweet romance story and see how Drew and Marielle fall in love and how the cope with the dramas that life throws at them.

Imposter: An Ash Park Novel (Volume 7)
By Meghan O’Flynn
5 out of 5 stars

I loved reading the story Imposter: An Ash Park Novel (Volume 7) by Meghan O’Flynn. It is the next book in the amazing Ash Park series. It pulls you in from the very beginning and doesn’t let you go until the final page. The story had me turning pages wondering what was going to happen next. In this book, Detective Petrosky is called to the home of a boy who, for all appearances, has committed suicide. What he finds is a family that is acting strangely. While everyone deals with death differently the detective can’t help but hear red flags going up in his head. Now the suicide has turned into a murder and it is up to the detective to uncover the clues as to why the boy was killed. The investigation will lead Petrosky down a path of other abductions. Will the killer be caught? Read this book to find out. This story had me reading far into the night as I just had to find out how it all ends up. Detective Petrosky is a character that is haunted by the past and at times he is at war with himself. He blames himself for his daughter’s murder and also fighting to hold on to his sanity. He is a character that I always root for as he follows his instincts to solve crimes. This book has twists and turns that I didn’t see coming. It has an atmosphere of suspense that seems very real. The author does an amazing job of making it feel like you are right there with the detective putting together the clues. Don’t miss out on this story. Highly recommended reading.

How Could I Forget by N.D. Jackson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

5 Star
How Could I Forget (Plentiful in Love Book 1) by N.D. Jackson is a wonderfully written story that I found myself lost in the pages and couldn’t stop reading till the end. I was pulled in from the beginning and pretty much fell in love with the characters of Kayla and Dan. All the characters are very well developed and easily relatable and the story just flowed. Kayla and Dan both had secret crushes on one another and neither one knew. There definitely was attraction and made for one another. Dan and Kayla had one steamy night together before they both went their separate ways after college. He pretty much had given up hope he would find her or run into her at some point. Boy when he did finally see her. What he over heard will change his life forever. Find out what happens next in this absolute must read. I can’t wait to read more from this Author

Rockin’ It Home by Tracey Cramer-Kelly
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Rockin It Home is the third novel in the Lawson Family series by Tracey Cramer-Kelly.

Anytime I see a new novel in this series, I instantly want to read it.

Ben Lawson who is not happy about having a babysitter. But it’s the only way to keep himself off the alcohol to keep his visitation rights in order to see his daughter.

Danielle isn’t too thrilled about being his personal assistant either, but accepts the position because work is hard to get.

Will Ben find himself in other ways besides being on stage and find a family with Danielle?

I really love this series and look forward to meeting new members of the family and their stories.

The plot was easy to follow and the relationship progression between Ben and Danielle was nice paced and didnt feel like it moved too fast. I felt for Ben and his struggles and rooted for him to overcome them.

Boxed Set
Books 1 – 3
By Phoebe Alexander
☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆
This was a fantastic series. I loved all three books, my review is on Mountain Loved.
This is the continued story of Dr. Sarah Lynde and Lt. James McAllister. This I think was the hardest book to read, as James and Sarah still have struggles. Don’t get me wrong. All relationships have struggles, we have all been there. But for Sarah and James, this is a whole new struggle. Learning to be honest and communication is a real struggle. James sure tried, Sarah and even my patience. So having said that let’s throw in some polyamorous and see who talks first. This is where open communication happens. Do you think these two can get through this? Can Sarah and James work together to climb yet another mountain? Recover and still love each other?

Phoebe Alexander has written yet another book that tore my heart out. I think this series gave so much to their story. You can’t help but fall in love with her characters. Phoebe Alexander writes of strong women, who fight for what they want. She also writes from her heart. This series hit so many feelings. Happy, sad, anger, and communication, let’s not forget trust. This series is for those over 18. Take a chance and give this some reading. Remember to read the series in order. Thank You Phoebe Alexander!!

This boxset was fantastic. It is a must read, and I loved every one of the books in this set. The author has a great writing style and the series is well written and emotional in such a good way. The main characters in these stories are Sarah and James. The moutains they have to climb and the problems they face along the way. They have such a fierce attraction between the two of them, but it seems that there is a challenge around every corner. With each challenge, the two pull together and have to decide if the struggles and the HEA they seek will be worth it in the end.
I would recommend this boxset to anyone that loves romance and I am looking forward to reading more by this author in the future!
Happy Reading!

Two Hearts Unlikely Heroes is the ninth book in the Two Hearts Wounded Warrior Romance series. It can be read as a standalone. The prologue sets up the story, so make sure you don’t skip it.

This story is full of drama, action, intrigue, and all the feels. The author does a wonderful job of creating characters with depth and interesting personalities. And, you can tell that a lot of heart has gone into writing this adventure.

Two Hearts Unlikely Heroes is definitely a book you won’t want to put down once you get started! The slow-build romance is definitely worth your time.

2am Secrets by M. Piper – Review by Juls Dick

February 23, 2020/0 Comments/in Reviews /by Juls Dick

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

2am Secrets by M. Piper was a really enjoyable read. It follows the romance of Sadie and Archer, who finally give into their long-felt feelings for each other, while trying to keep it secret from Sadie’s twin brother Sam, who happens to be Archers best friend.

Sam’s overprotectiveness and self-destructive nature as well as the ill health of Sadie’s beloved grandmother means that there was never any chance that their love would be straightforward.

I really liked this book, it isn’t your standard happy every after, it touches on a range of issues such as addiction and bereavement and the impact that this can have on those around you. This was the first book I have read by this author, but I will definitely be reading more.

Rockin’ It Home by Tracey Cramer-Kelly
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Rockin’ It Home is the third book in the Lawson Family series by Tracey Cramer-Kelly and I loved this book

Ben is trying to get his life together after hitting rock bottom. He doesn’t need much to he happy, put him on stage in front of a crowd is the easiest way. But the demands of being a recovering alcoholic while on the road touring are more than one person can and should handle. This is where Danielle comes in.

I enjoyed almost everything about Ben and Danielle’s story, especially how Rick Springfield is connected. This old lady has some fond memories of Mr. Springfield from my childhood and I did find myself getting a bit giddy thinking about him.

Ben has been through so much through this series and I’m so glad he finally removed his head and allowed himself to be happy since it’s much deserved.

Can’t wait for the next book in this series so I can find out what’s going on with the family.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I have read every one of the books in this series, I loved each of them and this one is my favorite yet. This author has a way of writing a story that will pull you in right from the beginning and make you feel as if you are part of the story. This story is no different. Detective Petrosky is back with a suspenseful new investigation. He gets wrapped up in kidnapping and a sucide of a boy that he can’t let go of. What will happen when he finds out that there are a lot more kidnapped children? Will he catch this person before any more children are lost? The twists and turns had me sitting on the edge of my seat as well as turning pages fast. This is an awesome must read story that you won’t regret picking up. I highly recommend this book as well as reading this series from the beginning.

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

I love this story. Its a classic story of two people who have loved each other for years but have never admitted it.

Archer was best friends with Sadie’s twin brother Sam and had been for years. Sadie has always had a crush on Archer but never did anything about it for fear of hurting her brother.

Then New Years Eve happens. Sadie ends up spending the night with Archer, giving into all those years of temptation and thinking one time would be enough. Have wrong they both were.

With their feelings intensifying, Sadie’s grandma seriously unwell and Sam going off the rails its never a good time to tell him they want to be together. Is there love strong enough to survivie a loss and the destructive path her brother is travelling or will it be too much for them to survive.

“Little Greggie” Boyle was the amazing reappearing child—a boy kidnapped and returned to his parents after five years in captivity. So what would make him take his own life? That’s the question hanging over Detective Petrosky’s head.

It seems straightforward: the teenager was found suspended from the rafters in the foyer of his parents’ home, a rope around his neck. No signs of struggle. No note, though that isn’t uncommon despite what Hollywood says—those movie nitwits don’t know real crime from their left elbows.

But something is wrong. The victim’s parents are stonewalling the police, and Gregory’s brother is cagey—even a little creepy. None of them seem interested in finding out what drove Gregory to kill himself. Or maybe they know something Petrosky doesn’t. Then forensic evidence turns the case on its head: the boy was drugged. The death wasn’t a suicide at all. Perhaps the kidnappers came back to make sure he stayed quiet…permanently.

As the investigation continues, a darker pattern of abductions begins to emerge. Gregory wasn’t the only child taken, and it appears the kidnapper is cleaning house—are any of the other victims still alive? One thing seems clear: Petrosky and his partner aren’t just hunting a killer; they’re looking for more bodies. If they don’t hurry, the man who murdered Gregory Boyle will rip other children from their families—kids who will never again come home.

And more dead children, especially on the anniversary of his daughter’s grisly murder, is more than Detective Petrosky can handle. He needs to catch the killer and ensure no more children fall prey to this maniac before he loses his own tenuous grasp on sanity.

Fiendishly clever, unique, and replete with twists and turns that keep readers glued to the pages, Imposter is a fast-paced crime thriller in the vein of Sidney Sheldon, Tana French, and Dean Koontz’s Jane Hawk series.

Rockin’ It Home by Tracey Cramer-Kelly
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Rockin’ It Home is the third book in Tracey Cramer-Kelly’s Lawson Family Series! Finally Ben is getting his book! If you have read the first two books in the series then you know what I mean by ‘finally’! It is a beautifully written story of second chances and new beginnings and family …
Rockin’ It Home gives us Benjamin Lawson’s story – he is our recovering divorced dad who is trying to keep his visitation right to the only person he cares about, his two year old daughter, and then we get Danielle de Luca, from a true Italian family, who is his PA and his babysitter … I have always liked Ben and I was impatiently waiting for his book as I was wondering into what direction the writer would take his journey and she did it beautifully … She gave us a flawed man who feels at home only on the stage, with his music, who learns to accept his flaws and who needs to find his faith and give himself for the mistakes he has done in the past … I admire the writer for the way she is addressing the issue of addiction in a way that hit home but at the same time did not drag you down into the despair … I also loved meeting the characters from the previous two books so it truly felt like visiting family back at home! AND let’s not forget about the teaser for Carly’s book so keep your schedule open!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Prophecy Girl (Camille Bishop Book 1) I knew the world was full of crazy things but nothing would prepare me for how crazy it would get: And crazy it was. Such a good start to what I think will be a fantastic series. This story pulls you in and keeps you wanting more, each page had someone new and did not disappoint. Camille was such a likeable character she’s strong willed and fierce, she’s been through some heartache but I think that’s what makes her who she is. Without giving anything away I really think you will love this book. It’s another series I can sink my teeth into 😉 Great read, looking forward to the next.

Mountains Series Boxed Set: by Phoebe Alexander
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Mountains Series Boxed Set:(Books 1-3) By Phoebe Alexander. This is the best boxed set I’ve read in a long time. The first book was just as good as the last and I wanted more! The first book is Mountains Wanted and its the beginning story of Dr. Sarah Lynde a Sociology Professor and single mom of 2 who loves Sex and doesn’t want or need a relationship. Army 1st Sergeant James McAllister never knows when or where he might be deployed so right now all he wants is a hook up not a relationship although later down the line he does want a relationship. They meet and well feelings get involved even though Sarah introduces James to poly relationships. In book 2 Mountains Climbed James is redeployed and all he can think about is Sarah even though he chose another before he left. Sarah has moved on with another man but she can’t stop thinking about James. When he gets home he just wants one more chance with Sarah. In Book 3 Mountains Loved they finally get together but her past and his own issues might keep them from working out. Deciding if they want to remain in an open or closed relationship is another Mountain they may need to climb! This is a sexy, steamy, wonderful story full of love, heartbreak, longing, friendship and hope. It will leave you wanting more! I love Phoebe Alexander and these 3 books are the perfect example as to why!

Red Riding Hood (Down the Rabbit Hole) Anthology – Review by Erin Wolf

February 22, 2020/0 Comments/in Reviews /by Erin Wolf

Red Riding Hood by Autumn Sand
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I give Red Riding Hood (Down the Rabbit Hole) Anthology, 5 stars.

This is a such a great anthology! Most of the authors were new to me, however I did recognize a few that I have read before. I was oh so pleasantly surprised that I enjoyed each and every one of them. Of course, I did have some that I like more than others, but that goes for any anthology really. Another huge plus, the variety. Even books in the same genre were different from each other. To me, that makes a fantastic book even better. The only thing each of them had in common was the theme.

The stories are well written and so entertaining — they are obviously written by some wonderful authors. If you like fairytales but want something more adult and different, I highly recommend this collection.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Flowers in December by Jane Suen
4 stars

This book was different than any I’ve read before. Connor goes back home to bury his mother, and comes to terms he’s the only one left in his family.
We see the grief, the growth and the inner feelings of Connor as he goes through the stages of going through memories and belongings of his parents. I enjoyed this book.

While I have lost my father at a young age, I only know what I should be missing, not feeling the loss of the person themselves as a whole. This was a great read

Coming Home (Flowers in December #2) by Jane Suen
4 stars

Before you read this, you must read book one, Flowers in December.
This was a quick read but so much was packed into this story. This book picks up 4 months after the first at Christmas time, but doesn’t need to be read as a holiday read at all.
I don’t want to say anything about this book that may become a spoiler of sorts but this is a must read. It didn’t go the way I thought it was going to and that was surprising.
Can’t wait for more from this author

Second Chance (Flowers in December #3)
I have read this series in order but you can read this as a standalone, but I think its best to read all 3.
This book was sweet, and shows no matter what love can prevail.
Im not the biggest fan of back and forth from past to present but did appreciate getting to know Mary Ann. This is the perfect ending to this trilogy, and I will look for more from this author .

Mountains Series Boxed Set: Books 1-3 by Phoebe Alexander
Five Stars

Mountains Wanted is the first book in the Mountains series by Phoebe Alexander. I have to say that Phoebe is a one click author for me, and this book doesn’t disappoint. I started reading it when I got home from work on Monday evening when I looked up next it was 4:00am. It was well worth the lost sleep. The emotional roller coaster had me laughing and crying all night. I love Sarah and James, they are relatable but frustrating and always entertaining. This series is eight books long, so I just can’t wait to see what happens next. Super Excited to start Book 2!

Mountains Climbed by Phoebe Alexander

Mountains Climbed is the second book in the Mountains series by Phoebe Alexander. This series should be read in order because the books build off each other. The characters are all down to earth and relatable. This book is a continuation of Sarah and James’s story. James has made his choice and Sarah is moving on with Garrett, but will they be able to stay apart?
Phoebe is one of my go to authors, and this series is no different. The story has all the feels, and will take you on an emotional roller coaster. I can’t wait to read book three.

Mountains Loved by Phoebe Alexander

Mountains Loved is the third book in the Mountains series by Phoebe Alexander. This series should be read in order as the build on each other. You will miss out on Sarah and James’ backstory, if you haven’t read the first two books. I am really hooked on this series. The characters are true to life, the chemistry is palpable and the emotions were on a roller coaster. I was ready to throw my kindle across the room a few times. This is my favorite book of the series, but I can’t wait to get my hands on the rest of the books. I highly recommend this book, series and author.

Mountains Series Boxed Set:(Books 1-3) By Phoebe Alexander
I’ve loved every book in this series. Pheobe Alexander is my go to Author, I’ve never read anything from her that I haven’t truly enjoyed reading. This series of books are about Sarah and James and all the struggles they have had along the way. These three books had my emotions in overdrive ,I found myself rooting for them, and hoping for a HEA for them. One of the many things I like about this Author is her style of writing and her attention to detail the stories always flow so nicely Her characters are very well developed and strong relatable. I could go on and on but I’ll stop. I just can’t recommend this Boxset or this Author enough.

Out of The Shadows by Theresa Sederholt
5 out of 5 Stars
Dane Johnson, a man so broken by the secret he is holding that it is tearing him apart. Warning that this book may trigger some people who are sensitive to acts of violence, both mentally and on some base, physically, so If you are more tenderhearted than others, this book may be a bit much for you, so tread carefully.
Having said all of that, this book is beautifully written from Dane’s point of view. While not wanting to give you too much of what happens, this story is so heartbreaking, so emotionally charged, and so devastating that you are both crying and cheering for Dane at the same time. I feel that I am a better person for reading this book. I highly recommend this book for lovers of all book genres.
