My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Claim Me Now by Lea Nolan was a great 5 star read.
I was pulled in right from the beginning and had a late night of reading because I didn’t want to put it down.

Raven gets some shocking news from her bosses children which includes that she is now unemployed. She is devastated due to the recent project she was working on and worried about her co-workers and their jobs. To get away she goes to her beach house for the weekend. What she didn’t expect was Jack Baines waking her up, and let’s say that was an interesting moment that had me LOL.

Jack was looking for a downtime weekend to regroup after taking over another company. He hasn’t been happy with how his stepfather has been running things and has plans for when he takes over. He didn’t expect to find Raven at the home he had rented for the weekend.

They both decided to try and share the house for the weekend. The attraction between them was too much and they have a very steamy evening that turns into a weekend thing. When a storm hit’s things take a dangerous twist and we get an even bigger glimpse into the hunky man. There is so much more to this read than two people falling in love, there are some things from the past that come up and we get another HUGE twist that throws Raven for a loop. Will these two let their walls down and get a HEA? Overall I really enjoyed this read, both characters were great and all of the secondary characters added a great element as well. If you are looking for a great read with more than romance this is the series and book for you. I look forward to reading more from the series. 1-click and get started today.

Fake Fiancé (A Second Chance Office Romance) by Amy McKinley – Review by Kerry Baker

Fake Fiancé: A Second Chance Office RomanceFake Fiancé: A Second Chance Office Romance by Amy McKinley
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Fake Fiancé: A Second Chance Office Romance by Amy McKinley is a brilliant story with strong and engaging characters. I was instantly hooked on this book the moment I started reading! I loved how much you could feel the chemistry coming off these two characters right from the start – they were clearly meant to be together and it was great to watch how they found a way.
The story itself was interesting and well written. It is one of those books that is a pretty easy read and yet still has a depth and complexity about it so that it never becomes boring.
This author really has become a favourite of mine. Her books are always engaging and entertaining and they never fail to keep me reading. This is a brilliant book to add to that list and I would highly recommend it!

Fake Fiancé: A Second Chance Office RomanceFake Fiancé: A Second Chance Office Romance by Amy McKinley
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This was an emotional read. It is a story I love and the characters are so well written. I love Adeline’s character. She is a fiesty  strong woman who doesn’t let nothing get in her way.

When Adeline is asked to cover someone’s maternity leave she has no plans of finding romance. All she is focused on is pursuing her career and getting to the top. However things all change when she meets her boss Stone Crenshaw.

Stone is the owner of a hotel which he is renovating. He is work focused and has no intention of settling down. He’s after his next hotel and will do anything he can to win the bid on it. Even pretending to be in love.

When he makes Adeline an offer to become his fiancee to help him win the bid she is reluctant but smart to see how it will help her progress her career so she agrees.

What neither party sees coming is that the actual contact and connection between them is real and so strong.

Can they fight this connection and keep this strictly business? Who is out to split this couple up? Can they survive the obscales in front of them or will it tear them apart?

This is my first read from this author and a brilliant introduction into this author it was! This author has a brilliant writing style that captivates you from the very beginning and brings the characters to life! These two characters had amazing chemistry that was undeniable and really made this book engaging as I really wanted to see where their connection and relationship would go, throughout the read, I couldn’t help but root for them but with them being opposites, will there be too many issues stopping it from being a HEA? I can’t wait to read more books from this author until then I highly recommend this book.

Run to the Sea (Reigning Hearts Book One) AUDIO BOOK by KG Fletcher – Review by Meg Tyrrell

I’m a fan of KG Fletcher. Every book I’ve read has been awesome. This audiobook was no different. The female narrator did a wonderful job at pulling you into the story. I’ve read this e-book before and it was great, but listening to it was wonderful. I loved the picture painted by the words I listened to. These characters are relatable and I can’t get enough of this series. I recommend the Reigning Hearts series AND KG Fletcher!

Fake Fiancé: A Second Chance Office RomanceFake Fiancé: A Second Chance Office Romance by Amy McKinley
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Fake Fiance is a fantastic office romance by Amy McKinley. It was previously published in the Sinful Secrets (A Contemporary Romance Box Set). I have been a huge fan of Amy McKinley’s writing for a long time so it’s always great to get lost in her writing again.
Adeline has her dream job lined up in Italy but what she doesn’t expect is that within days of starting her new job she’s playing the role of fake fiancé to her hot but very grumpy boss, Stone, so that he can convince a possible seller that he’s a respectable family man.
What results is a great story that I was engrossed in and read in one sitting as I didn’t want to put it down. Adeline and Stone’s story is a great read. Both are great characters that I totally fell in love with. The more you get to know Stone you get to see a different side to the ruthless, cold, arrogant businessman and he’s actually a very nice guy down deep inside.
The story is very well written and flows well and kept me engrossed throughout. One thing I loved was the setting of the book. You are treated to detailed description of beautiful setting in Italy and it makes me want to visit there and see it all for myself.
All in all this is a great book that I’d definitely recommend to others to read.

If you are looking for a sweet Christmas story, look no further Sweets and Santas is the book for you. The imagery that Rosie Pease creates is a beautiful story. Her attention to detail really stands out in this book. The characters are fun loving and enjoyable to read about. Joanie is the main character in this story. She just opened a new bakery in a new town. There is some shifty stuff going on and wouldn’t you know it had to happen at the new bakery in town. Will the missing items show up? Is the Christmas magic playing tricks on Joanie or will she be able to figure out what is happening? I highly recommend reading this book to find out what is happening with Joanie’s bakery.

Holiday TerminalHoliday Terminal by Gwyn McNamee
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Holiday Terminal by Gwyn McNamee and Christy Anderson is book one of The Warren Family Holidays series. I read this book in one sitting. I couldn’t put it down!

Penelope didn’t intend to get stuck at the airport in the middle of nowhere on Christmas Eve but now she has no choice but to wait out the snow storm. She never would have expected that the one person she didn’t think she’d ever see again would get stuck at the same airport. Nothing good could come from both Penelope and Artemis being stuck at the same airport, or so Penelope thinks.

I really enjoyed reading this book! It was a quick read because you get sucked in and don’t want to put it down. I could feel Penelope’s terror when she first saw Artemis and realized it could spell disaster for her. I also spent a bit of time being mad at Artemis. He has a few less than favorable moments. Overall, it was very well written and a great read!

Sweets and Santa (The Matchmaking Baker, #2)Sweets and Santa by Rosie Pease
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

‘Sweets and Santa’ by Rosie Pease is a wonderful story full of Christmas cheer, small-town antics, and paranormal activity. Although it is the second book in a series, it does well standing on its own. It also combines several elements that I have not seen before, but particularly enjoy. I like the idea of a matchmaking baker, and I am glad to see that the author lets us know out of the gate that she’s not talented at everything. I also enjoy the fact that the paranormal rears its head among the pages of the story. To find out how it all ties together, I strongly recommend reading the book.

The desert winds bring the voices of the Dead to those who can hear.

Oh, and that crisis he was trying to escape? Her name is Jasmine Lee, and she could be the death of him.

The literal death of Death. Yep. You heard that right.

Holy ghost guts. She’s in trouble.

The unfairly hot reaper is the last person Jasmine wants to work with. But if she doesn’t help Asher wrangle the lost souls back to the underworld, there will be hell to pay.

Carrie Pulkinen is a paranormal romance author who has always been fascinated with things that go bump in the night. Of course, when you grow up next door to a cemetery, the dead (and the undead) are hard to ignore. Pair that with her passion for writing and her love of a good happily-ever-after, and becoming a paranormal romance author seems like the only logical career choice. 

 

Before she decided to turn her love of the written word into a career, Carrie spent the first part of her professional life as a high school journalism and yearbook teacher. She loves good chocolate and bad puns, and in her free time, she likes to read, drink wine, and travel with her family.

Eye of Death (Vampire State, #3)Eye of Death by Alexander Charalambides
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Charalambides continues to do a brilliant job with his story and character development within the pages of this series and its latest installment. I love how the story has come together and how the characters continue to just jump off the page. I feel that the story is so well written it will be enjoyed if you haven’t read the other parts of the series. However given the brilliance of the work I don’t think you will want to miss a single word. Can’t wait to see what we get from the author next!

I give Eye of Death: A paranormal romance (Vampire State Book 3) by Alexander Charalambides, 4 stars.

Rowena is back and just trying to figure things out in this her new life. She has ideals, things she strongly believes in, and will do anything to uphold these. You really see her grow and learn to make her own decisions. She is a very strong character, yet she has her issues like anyone. She is what makes this series so good. The story itself is gripping and interesting, dystopia at it’s best.

This is the third book in the series and you really have to read the first two before you read this one. The one thing, I wish there was a short lead-in or reminders of what happened in previous books. It has been a long time since I read the last book, with many other books in between. It took me a bit to not feel lost. Of course, I do have a horrible memory. However, once I got into it, I could not put the book down.

If you are a fan of supernatural dystopia, I recommend this book and series.

And now I will have to add that if you love to listen to contemporary romance, you have to listen to anything written and performed by her as well.

I had the pleasure of previously reading this hard copy book and was thrilled to get the audio recording in my hands. Narrated works always take the story to a whole new level when done correctly. And I felt as though the two narrators of this work certainly added a layer of emotion with their interpretation of the author’s words. The storyline was compelling and I found myself entranced while listening to the story unfold. A great story that I will continue to recommend in both written and audio formats.

I really enjoyed this book!

Lauren is a lounge singer it Atlanta. During a break one night, she finds herself in conversation with a male model. David is in Atlanta for his sister’s wedding. While enjoying a drink in the lounge at the hotel, he finds himself instantly attracted to the lead singer with the sultry voice. As a model, David’s world is chaotic and he has a hard time with a relationship because he doesn’t know if people are with him for the right reasons. But…there is something about Lauren that makes David want to try.

As Lauren tries to find a way to be a part of David’s world, she is quickly introduced the harsh reality that some people don’t want her there. While navigating the waters of a high profile relationship, there are ups and downs. However, the thing that endures every time is David’s belief that they can make it work. When tragedy strikes, they must decide if their relationship can actually survive.

I found myself immersed into the story from the first page. David and Lauren are both characters that I found myself rooting for. I could not put the book down until I got to the end…I needed to know what would happen….and I enjoyed every second of it!

This entire series is light, paranormal reading set in the perfect setting of New Orleans. I really have enjoyed Jane in the past but this gave a new insight into her and her marriage to Ethan. Also, one would ask how Santa Claus could fit into the story, but seriously you need to read this to find out. This is full of laughs and great characters. A definite getaway from this cruddy year.

The Nearness of YouThe Nearness of You by K.G. Fletcher
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is an enjoyable and engaging standalone story which had me happily turning the pages late until the night as I could not put it down once I had started reading. I fell in love with the characters and so then felt invested in their story and I was fully immersed in their world. The storyline is a love at first sight, opposites attract romance between Lauren and David and it also involves their worlds of music and fashion colliding. Lauren Rose sings classic love songs in posh hotel lounges as well as teaching theatre to kids whilst waiting for her big break. British supermodel David Randle is in need of a break from his successful modelling career and the launch of his high-fashion debut cologne, Drive. The couple first meet when Lauren is singing at the hotel David is staying at for his sister’s wedding. Their instant attraction and chemistry, which literally sizzled off the page, led to David inviting Lauren to New York. Lauren is then worried that she might be a distraction to his fashion shoot to promote his new cologne and his assistant is also trying to interfere with their new relationship. The celebrity couple have to learn to navigate the world of fame and fashion or their relationship could be over before it really began.
This is a wonderfully written heartwarming romance between two likeable and relatable strong characters. It is fairly fast paced and has, romance, drama and suspense, all of which had me hooked. The narrative really brings the characters to life as well as the worlds of music and fashion which make a great backdrop to the story. The book contains some very sexy scenes between the couple and so is recommended for adult readers. I thoroughly enjoyed this novel and as usual was not disappointed with a book by K.G. Fletcher.
