Surprise Baby for Mr. Fischer (Curvy Ever After, #2)Surprise Baby for Mr. Fischer by Stephanie Harrell
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This book is a great contemporary romance that I gave 4 stars. I had never previously read any of this author’s work but I liked the look for the blurb and was intrigued enough to give this book a go. I’m glad that I chose to give it a go as I really enjoyed it.
Although this book is the 2nd book in the series, it can be read as a stand-alone. I had not read the first book in the series before reading this one.
One thing I really liked about this book is that the female heroine is a larger, curvy lady. It makes such a welcome change from reading about female characters who are slim and ‘perfect’. As a larger, curvier woman myself it is empowering to read a female lead who does not comply with the norm.
I really enjoyed reading Lincoln and Harper’s story. It’s very much an opposites attract story. Harper is your everyday girl next door and Lincoln is an up and coming Hollywood movie star.
The author does a great job of pulling you into the story with an amusing first chapter and the story flows well from here and keeps the reader entertained and engaged in the story.
Would definitely recommend.

A Sweet ChristmasA Sweet Christmas by Nicole Richard
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This was such a sweet and fun little holiday romance read. I loved how it was a simple read. I mean that in a kind way too. Sometimes you just want to pick up a book and fall in love with it without all the drama and fuss, especially around the holidays. We often have enough of our own drama and fuss around them and need the magic and fun reminders when we look for escapes with things like books and art. This gem is just that. The love story of Thea and Ben is set in the perfect of seasons with lots of laughter and love to go around, plenty of sweet treats to be had, and cheer to be enjoyed. I devoured this read in a few short hours and drifted off to sleep to dream about my own holiday romances. The perfect Sunday if you ask me. Don’t wait, grab your copy today for your chance to have yours.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I was so in love with this book and everything that went along with it, it was touching and full of emotions with all those feelings. I loved the craftmanship and the way the author wrote this gripping story, it was not one I could put down at all! It was so good from start to finish, a must read for sure!

Brekin, I truly loved. She was such a sweet heart and she had underwent a loss of what she thought was suppose to real true love. She learned otherwise. I felt for her when her boyfriend left her for the girl on the cheer squad. Believing something is the perfect fit, then its gone, in an blink of an eye! From pain and anger, and well shock she meets Griffin through an unexpected counter Sparks flew, but were they meant to last? Were they to be only as long as a fire work show, or would they blast through the galaxy forever?

I loved their relationship so much! Brekin and Griffin were so good together in more ways than one. I loved how they connected, and needed each other more than they saw fit to realize, and they both came from broken hearts in different circumstances, that truly made them right for each other. There was a lot of emotions with these characters, the story was engaging and so very beautiful, and emotional!

I loved this book as I hope I have made clear. The writing was wonderful and the story along with the characters and character development, that was truly undeniable. I think this is a new favorite author of mine, and I need to read the previous in the series. Amazing read and high recommendation from me!

Christmas Cookies on a Cruise Ship (The Perfect Pairings Series Book 1)Christmas Cookies on a Cruise Ship by Parker Fairchild
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This was a fun, enjoyable and engaging Christmas romance which really gave me the festive feeling. Olivia decides to go on a cruise to avoid spending Christmas with her twin sister and fiancé, who happens to be Olivia’s ex boyfriend. Olivia is a chemist and budding romance writer and whilst on the cruise she meets her fictional hero character in real life. Jace, a former Navy SEAL Commander is keen to meet Olivia when he discovers he’s her fantasy hero. Olivia is a bit skeptical, but with the help of the other passengers, especially Mrs. Claus and her Christmas cookies and a lot of Christmas magic, hopefully the couple will explore the connection between them. I loved Olivia and Jace and their chemistry really sizzled off the page. The mix of cruise passengers added to the over all feel of life on board and they all brought something to the story. The storyline had me hooked from start to finish and the setting was brought to life by the descriptive narrative. This was a lovely festive romance and it left me feeling in the Christmas spirit.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is the second book in this series that I have read and personally, it was even better than the first one. If you are a fan of suspense, intrigue, and romance then you need to read this. I will say that to really understand the plotline and characters you need to read these books in order. They are not stand-alone books. But that’s just my opinion. I was hanging on the edge of my seat reading this book. Honestly, I’ve bitten most of my fingernails off while reading it because I was so engrossed in their story. I love this author’s writing as she has a way of giving small clues without you realizing it. In fact, there were some clues in the 1st book that were foreshadowing of this book and at the time I didn’t realize it but now it all makes sense. I am wondering how many of those are for the 3rd installment. I highly recommend this book to fans of “The Godfather” because this is just as good.

Christmas Cookies on a Cruise Ship (The Perfect Pairings Series Book 1) by Parker Fairfield is a contemporary romance.

Olivia Chasen, a chemist, and aspiring romance writer, is on a cruise to escape spending Christmas with her lovely twin sister and her new fiancé—ex. Olivia’s Her other passengers now believe she’s in love with a fictional figure, owing to her lonely, inebriated ramblings on Santa’s knee. Jace Morse, a former Navy SEAL, has faced a lot of strange situations throughout his career, but he’s never had the honor, pleasure, or privilege of becoming a gorgeous and clever woman’s dream hero come to life. While he hasn’t met the sultry chemist, he is anxious to learn more about the chemistry that is brewing between them. It’ll take more than Christmas cookies and a little help from Mrs. Claus to bring the charming SEAL and the doubting Olivia together; it’ll need a whole lot of Christmas magic.

I loved this story and the concept of it as well. I loved every page of it. Every chapter was exciting. This is my first book from this author and I can’t wait to read more.

This book is a witty, fun one of romance amidst Christmastime. Olivia is such an easy character to relate to, as is her desire for love. The story brings you into the Christmas spirit (even a self-proclaimed Grinch like me). A pleasant read, the story has sweet love scenes, which is a nice change from some of my favorite genres. There are great comedic moments mixed brilliantly with the not-so-funny moments. If you enjoy Christmas and sweet stories, this is the book for you.

This was a very quick easy read that had me captivated from the very beginning.
This was a new trope for me with Male and Male romance.
This story became a journey and acceptance of death to me and it played out beautifully.
The romance in this story is intoxicating and I wish it was longer.
What would you leave behind in death?
Story of love, and acceptance.
It was very refreshing to read of a shifter plot and romance.
The world that this author has created has you deep diving deeper and deeper you read.
I hope there are stories created for each character individually because this story has me attached and ready to explore their world.
You can’t go wrong with this read it’s quick and inviting.
Five stars with hopes of more to come.

Christmas cookies are yum, yum and this cruise ship has the best ones ever!
When Dr Olivia Chasen decided to cruise for Christmas to get away from her sister and her ex boyfriend there is no way she expected to become someones Christmas gift! Santa and Mrs Claus had other ideas though and make sure Olivia ends up having a truly amazing time. Jace Morse was cruising for Christmas to attend the wedding of his closest friends but this cruise would end up being so much more! under the watchful eyes of some oh so funny elderly passengers he starts to romance Olivia and prove to her he is the one for her.
This book is full of fun characters and so much Christmas spirit. It is truly a wonderful read.

Mystery and suspense
This story was an unexpected surprise. I haven’t read any of the other books in the series but it was easy to connect the dots with the other characters. I really enjoyed Brant and Aubrey’s characters and the romance was a slow burn sizzle. There was more mystery than drama which was a nice change. The writing and pacing was very good and I highly recommend for suspense romance lovers.

An afternoon quick read
This is a cute cruise ship romance. With Christmas cheer, Santa and Mrs Claus and hot Navy SEALs there was a lot of merriment (and drinking) going on. A couple of times I found the dialogue a little choppy and stilted especially between Olivia and Jace but this didn’t distract me from the story line. A light hearted romance with an abundance of Christmas cookies made this the perfect choice for an afternoon delight.

The love between Kat and Phillip is something that time can’t even stand in the way of. I have been eagerly awaiting the release of this book to see where their love story took them and I was beyond thrilled! This is such a beautiful, truly epic love story. There is one scene where young Phillip does exactly what old Phillip once did and punched obnoxious Spencer right in the nose! Man did he deserve it and it made me burst out laughing! Phillip and Kat have the kind of forever love that people can only dream of. They have to face so many obstacles on their way to happiness and this book really had my emotions all over the place. I couldn’t put it down once I picked it up because there was so much suspense mixed in with the romance and I just had to know what would happen next. The ending is absolutely perfect and made me smile with its beauty.

5/5 Stars

Surprise Baby for Mr. Fischer (Curvy Ever After #2) by Stephanie Harrell

This is the first book I’ve read by the author. Surprise Baby for Mr. Fischer is the second book in the Curvy Ever After Series. This book tugged at my heart strings and really makes me want a real life fairytale.

Harper is a plus size woman who still has insecurities about it. When she is saved by a guy who she thinks is Prince Charming. She then finds out she is pregnant and she has no way of contacting the father. When he comes back into town she tries to ruin what may have been a good thing. The quote I chose for Harper is: “Right now, we can forget about the outside world, but what happens when we can’t do that anymore? Someone will figure out you’re here for more than a vacation, and then what ? It’s like we’re in this little bubble, and at some point, it’s going to pop. Knowing we have an expiration date scares me.”

Lincoln is an actor looking to get away for a while. He thinks he’s doing someone a favor by saving them, not once but twice. They end up spending the weekend together. Then he comes back into town and gets the shock of his life. The quote I chose for Lincoln is: “But I’ll come back, Harper. I’m not going to lie and say I’m giving up acting, but I can promise I won’t walk away. The two of you are part of my life now. I’m in this with you for the long haul. I’m not going anywhere.”

Highly recommended for BBW Contemporary Romance lovers.

This was a really interesting book. I wasn’t sure exactly what to expect when I picked this one up, but for a such a short book it didn’t lack in content. I wasn’t expecting a story where the main character helped people pass peacefully into death. It was very interesting and not something I’ve read before so that makes it unique. While the content was lacking for a 57 page book, I still felt like things moved fast and I would have really enjoyed more of a backstory and some world building. Overall though with the amount of pages and how quick of a story this was, the quality and content wasn’t bad at all. I thoroughly enjoyed this story and can’t wait to read the next! Or at least hopefully there will be more!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This was an interesting and thrilling 4 star read. This was my first book from this author and I wasn’t sure what to expect. It did take me just a little bit to get pulled into the story. But once I got further in I couldn’t put it down.

Liz was watching and writing things she shouldn’t have been about MI5. When she finds herself talking to Alex there is something about him that is intriguing to her. She decides to change her career and go to school. She is doing very well and when she is close to graduating, is approached by Alex again and offered a job. There is a cringe worthy moment when she goes on her first job, there is a twist and she is put through some severe torture. There is another twist when she gets a coded email, how does this person know who she works for?

Things get more intense as the story moves forward. I will warn that if you have triggers then this would not be the book for you. There are several moments that I found myself cringing. We get violence, torture, mystery and so much more in this read. All of the characters added a great element to the story. This was an intense thrilling read and I look forward to reading more from this author.

At First Light (Dr. Evan Wilding #1)At First Light by Barbara Nickless
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

At First Light is the first book in a new series by Barbara Nickless. I picked this book because it was one of my options being a prime member for the Kindle First. The two main characters are Dr. Evan Wilding who’s a professor and Addie who is a detective.

I found the story to be excellent from page one to the last page, it kept me completely engrossed and interested. There was not a lull at all in the story everything moved seamlessly and fast without any extra unnecessary aspects.

I really liked both main characters. I found Dr. Evan Wilding and Addie both to be personable, funny, but serious we need it. They were intriguing characters who bounced off of each other well, with a hint of maybe a romance coming in future books.

One of the things I enjoyed most from this authors book was that it had a good mix of characters and they were an inclusive cast. For instance one character is a male with dwarfism, another character is a male with autism. I enjoyed the fact that the author brought in characters that you don’t often see in books and I found myself so connected to each one.
The mystery surrounding the case was spectacular. I wasn’t sure if I would be interested in it since it does deal with things like Viking history and runes but I found that that did not distract from the storyline at all and I found myself interested in the way the author presented it.

This book was hard to put down from page 1 and I was sad anytime I had to take a break for life lol. If you enjoy a story with a good mystery, a great whodunit, a true psychological thriller, and one that will keep you on your toes where you won’t find yourself knowing who the killer is then this is definitely a book you should pick up. It is not often that I go through an entire book and I’m shocked at who the killer is but this one easily fell in to that category. If I had one thing that I really was upset over, it would be that apparently book 2 doesn’t come out until a year from now ☹

This is the second book in the Curvy Ever After book series, it is only the first one I have read. I loved having the heroine in the story not be a size two and yet the man looked at her with love and told her how incredible she is. As a bigger person myself, it is nice to read a story that puts a plus size woman in a good light.
This was a great story that I could relate to, with childhood trauma that follows into adulthood. Lincoln and Harper came from totally different upbringings, but neither were perfect. Can they overcome their past to make a future for the family they have created?

Was this book what I was expecting? No. Was it exactly what I needed? YES. Yes, it was. The last nearly two years have been rough. Sometimes the heaviness in the world weighs me down, and this book reminded me how important it is to still take care of myself. Self care is so important! So while I didn’t really learn new things, it was a lovely read and a wonderful reminder to put my self care on the to-do list. Magic is wherever you take the time to see it, feel it. Slow down and enjoy it in all the little things.

As luck would have it, Olivia meets Santa & Mrs. Clause and her life changes for the better and things happen to help Olivia bring out her independent and strong side. Olivia and Jase are cute together and oh so meant to be together. Their relationship has some bumps but they work through it as both of them believe they will be together for a long time. The other characters are fun and made the story fun. Jase’s friends made Olivia feel comfortable and not like an outsider. Overall, I enjoyed the book.

A Sweet ChristmasA Sweet Christmas by Nicole Richard
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

A Sweet Christmas is just the type of book everyone needs to read this time of year to get us in the holiday spirit. I love to read Christmas Novellas that give the reader just enough information to enjoy the book without leaving out important details. This author did a great job with Ben and Thea’s growing attraction.

Ben walks into Thea’s shop looking for something every bakery sells but, Sweet Confections offers all kinds of sweet bakery delights aside from cupcakes lol. Ben gets some tasty treats and also tries to get Thea to come with him but she declines. Ben comes back and after speaking with Thea a bit he asks her out again but this time she accepts to meet him next Saturday for sushi.

Thea recently broke up with her ex boyfriend so she doesn’t really know if she’s ready for this but the attraction and chemistry can’t be denied. Will she give in or will she just keep Ben as a friend / customer?

This was a sweet fast paced holiday read that anyone is sure to enjoy. Looking forward to more books by this author.
