My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the second book in this series which is just as great as the first one. This is a well written story by an author that has great writing skills and their use of attention to details made the story realistic. I enjoyed being pulled into the story by the characters who made the story easy to read. This is a fast paced scientific fantasy story that was not only hard to put down but also kept me turning pages fast just to see what would happen next. I really enjoyed what the characters brought to the story and their growth throughout. The growth of the plot also made the story great. This is a great story that I highly recommend picking up today.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

What a great read! From the first page on the story moves along at a good pace and the writing is so smooth. I love that in a book! The story is filled with love, stressors, military women, distrust and a fireman. Really covers everything..oh plus there is girl besties! I enjoyed all the ups and downs and meeting all the characters. They made me laugh, wonder and have doubt a couple times. I really loved how Bryce was all googly-eyed at Gina and not deterred by her refusal. Then I could feel how happy he was when she finally agreed. I felt like fist bumping him!

Overall a wonderful story. I have not read the previous ones but the characters they produce really added to this one. I look forward to more.

Power Play (Astoria Bay Thunder Book 1) by CJ Cartwright

Power Play is the first book in the Astoria Bay Thunder Series. This is a Second Chance Hockey Romance that once you start reading you won’t want to put down till you finish. The characters are relatable and fully developed and the authors style of writing simply amazes me. This second chance romance had my emotions all over the place . Levi is the Captain of a local Professional Hockey team and Brynn is recently divorced and trying to get her life back. These two had a summer romance years ago and now he wants to win her back,she’s the one that got away and he never stopped loving her. Can they reunite? Is it to late for them to have a relationship? The chemistry between these to wow! I highly recommend reading this book to find out what happens next. This is definitely a great start to this series I can’t wait to read more from this Author.

Emotional roller coaster to happiness
Bryce and Gina’s story. This had all the feels. The author handled sensitive issues with ease and presented a love story filled with a rawness and honesty that made it so much more relatable. Gina’s insecurities and Bryce’s fears hit close to home. A beautiful story filled with hope, some drama and a whole lotta love. This is the third book in the series, can be read as a stand alone but the characters from the previous books do appear in this book too. Looking forward to Skylar’s story.

This book was a very interesting read. Lizbeth’s quest to learn about her family background made me want to look into my own! At the beginning, I was a little skeptical to where the story was going to go. But after reading further, it became very engaging. I really enjoyed seeing how the different parts of the Gordon family came to be and what happened to them.

I couldn’t put this book down! This book is amazing, it’s romantic, heart wrenching, sweet, steamy and funny all at once. Levi and Brynn were the love of each other’s lives, but a series of misunderstandings tore them apart. Ten years passed and neither could shake the other from their mind or their hearts and fate brought them back together. The chemistry between them is undeniable even when they haven’t realized that know each other, there’s that pull between them. I loved watching them discover each other again. There are so many parts that made me laugh out loud, swoon and tear up. This book is so good that I can’t wait to read the next in this series. There are some amazing characters introduced that I can’t wait to learn more about!

I was surprised by the background of the main character and the way the author wrote about the incident that directed the main character’s life was impactful. The author was able to weave in so much about the south past and present I really felt like I was getting to know the family. I also have to admit being in the mental health field and a PNW native made me like the author even more and I’ll definitely be keeping my eye out for more books by her.

I did a binge read of this series. I started out of order of course by reading this book which is book 5, but loved it soo much I went back to get the full read. This author is crazy talented, and I am so happy to have stumbled upon her.

Power struggles in the studio as well as with competitors around truly up the stress and tension between them.

This was a good four star read.
After divorce Brynn is starting life over with her cat and following her dream of photography.
She ends up doing a job at a very ritzy home where she meets someone who will bring her in the path of someone from her past.

She also wins a radio contest to go to the hockey game. This is where she see’s Levi and he realizes who she is and old sparks start to fly. With a twist she ends up shooting a calendar for the team at Levi’s cabin. Will this finally be the time for them to reconnect? What will happen when the truth finally comes out?

Overall this was a good read. Brynn had me LOL with her thoughts, she was quirky and down to earth. Levi was of course the hot hockey player who wanted his first love back. There are twists and turns and the secondary characters added a great element to the story. If you’re looking for a fun 2nd Chance romance 1-click and get started today.

I love how their romance started as a one night stand and blossomed into so much more because in this he decided to be more hard headed than her! This is a GREAT book with some very steamy parts.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Face the Fire is the 5th book in the Moore Family Saga. This romantic suspense has brought us a long way. Starting with Cade and Lecia in the first two and moving onto Miles and Bella in the rest, this saga has had many ups and downs. This book can be read as a standalone, but I read it with the rest of the set and I recommend reading them all. Miles Moore won’t stop until his dreams of a music empire are a reality, but Bella is worried about their family. Their two twins mean the world to her. She wants nothing more to help her husband with his growing dreams, but when business collides with family she fears a feud. Competitors can make their life harder and she doesn’t want any bloodshed. Will secrets split this couple and their family up? Will Bella’s work become a problem? Will Miles’s competitive nature endanger their lives? Will their strong family bond support them during these hard times? Their large family has always been there for them, but how about now? Great Saga. Slow going at first, but picks up and keeps you on your toes!

I enjoyed reading this book. The story progressed at a nice pace although the two main characters were quite frustrating with all of the miscommunicating going on. I wanted to throttle them both while i was reading. Gina is a strong willed woman who takes no flack. I think being an army Sargant that has seen action does that to people. But I’m glad Bryce tried to make things work and gets her to listen and work things out. Bryce’s character is sweet and understanding and had me drooling. It is a slow burn book and definitely has you crying out for more. This author is amazing when it comes to writing about army women. I cant wait to read more of her books!

In this third installment, with a new case, Dahlia returns working along side Alex. Sentinel City finally seems to be catching on to the fact that weird and unexplained occur more than in other places which leads to the Unexplained Crimes Unit. The main case in this book centers around the discovery of dismembered bodies, not all of which seem human. This, as usual, requires Dahlia to have to cover things up and lie to those she is working with while working the case using her knowledge of other worlds and creatures. Add in her close friend Casey is not currently himself, the Dragon Queen making an appearance, and her growing empathetic power, the ticking time clock on the infected worlds and the spreading infection. Will Dahlia be able to solve her case? Keep those she cares about safe?
I absolutely loved this book. The writing and character development continues to be spot on as it was in the first two books of the series. The underlying story that carries through the first two books is continued and built on in this book as well leaving you once again wanting to know what will come next. I had a hard time putting this book down. I would recommend reading this series in order, all three books are worth the read.

Third book to this Moore Family Saga. Miles Moore (son of Cade and Lecia from book 1 & 2) is all grown up (26) and still obsessed with fire. Ari (aka Miles) is a famous international hip-hop performer who uses fire in his show. It’s in his genes after all. He loves all the things that come with fame like cars, travel, women, and of course all the money. But life on the road away from his large family and the death threats he could do without. When a woman (Bella) who is afraid of fire joins his marketing team he thinks she’s the last person he’d be attracted too and names her Ice Queen. The banter between the characters and their growth throughout the books is wonderful. Can Ari get past his own thoughts and follow his gut? Will fire burn his world to the ground? I really enjoyed this book. I am excited to finish the last two in the saga!

This novel was really enjoyable. Being able to go on Amy’s journey to finding out more about herself and finding her father was fun. The concept of the book was a little different than what I normally read but that made it more interesting. The world that the author created was vibrant and I found myself wishing I could spend time in it. I recommend this book to anyone who has an interest in reading a paranormal book that is a little different.

When I first read the synopsis of this book, I was excited to read about this amazing Army sergeant who has left due injuries and turned to crafts such as quilts, and jewelry. I did not realize this was the third book in a series until after I started reading it and I am looking forward to going back and reading the first two books in order to get a little more of the back story. The story written here was detailed enough I could keep up and enjoy the book, but I feel I will love the characters even more after reading the first two books.

It was a very easy read, the story starts right from the first page and instant you are drawn in. A very light care free story that didn’t require a lot from the reader. It was a fun story with depth I was not expecting.

Everything about this screamed keep reading and I’m glad I did.
Luckily I read this saga backwards so I did enjoy it but I think I ruined the hype by not reading in order.
Miles is officially my go to man candy.
This is a book of desire and lust and steam and this author is the way to go.
She has a way with this couple that just built and built.
What would you do if you saw your crush naked?!
This was one of the best of the series worth the binge.

I was able to read this book in 2 days! I really enjoyed the unique perspective and twists that it provides. The characters and plot are both well written. It even invoked emotion, making them feel relatable and genuine. It provides a unique perspective on racial conflicts between the North and South in a way that doesn’t feel forced or preachy. I found the atypical perspectives refreshing and eye opening in a lot of ways. She even found ways to weave specific historical details/people into the story, making it not just a generic setting. I’d give this book 5/5 stars. I really enjoyed it.

One line made me think a bit. “Why was the United States so shamed by the atrocities of post- war civilian suffering that they sanitized events out of history book?” Makes me wonder what they’ll say in the history books when we’re all long gone. How much is truth and who chooses what’s omitted? This book inspired me to start looking a little deeper into my own family history after following these characters on their journey. I also developed a bit more appreciation for the standard of living we all have in this century with everything at our fingertips. So many different takeaways, and this isn’t even all of them! This really was a great little story.

Amazing is an understatement each book I read gets better and better.

In this book, Dahlia Nite and others return. Dahlia continues to work with Detective Alex Creed, this time on a new case. The new to this world drug, Chrysalis. The drug is causing humans to mutate as well as combust in the streets. Dahlia and Alex work well together; I feel because of their differences. Their interaction are so realistic and entertaining. Still Dahlia works to discover who/ what is bringing these troubles to her city. With the help of others with she be able to figure it out soon enough or will others in it for themselves stand in the way?

I thought this book was even better than the first. My favorite characters continue to develop on a personal level as well as in their relationships with each other. It makes it hard to put down. With each new thing you learn the characters speak to you just a little bit more and yet I think there is still plenty more to be learned about each of them. The story line flows well from book one to this one. I do think you would be better off reading this series in order. I would absolutely recommend this book as well as series to others.

After their first encounter doesn’t go well because of a misunderstanding Bryce works hard to redeem himself and he quickly does, but is it ever going to be enough to win Gina’s love? She doesn’t make it easy on him from the start. Gina has things holding her back from truly opening up and allowing Bryce to simply love her. With everything she had been through and all her reservations they press on and something beautiful emerges from the pain she is hiding. I love that this book doesn’t shy away from talking about the hard things like PTSD, there are so many people living with it especially our men and women who have served our country.
