My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I loved this book truly! From the start of the book to the end, I could not get enough of the captivating story or the the characters I certainly loved and grew with! The story had a lot to offer the reader, and I found the story developed at a very good pace. The book was hauntingly beautiful and a wonderful read!

Something I loved about this book and the way the author created and flowed the story, was that nothing was what it seems. And I can am speaking really from any point! I found with answers to certain events more questions arose. The author used amazing descriptive skills that really brought out the beauty in the story. The paranormal side of the story at hand, was wondaful and well done to say the least. The characters were very connectable. I had trouble stopping this one. I would stop and go back as I wanted to see what would happen next. It was a book that was well worth reading! Loved it truly!

Amazing read! A book that holds you close and certainly does not let go, even when you reach the final page with the final words and you finish the book. I shall anxiously await book 2, I loved this one as I have made clear, and I know the next one will be just as amazing! Highly recommend this must read book!

Unabridged (Smart & Sassy in the City, #2)Unabridged by Melinda De Ross
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This novel was just a great, simple and enjoyable read. As up and coming young journalist, Angelina Jameson, gets herself situated at her literary magazine, a blast from the past comes to her head-on. Her former love is now her new boss, Blade Spencer, which takes Angelina through a whirlwind of emotions and contemplations. Now she is left with the decision of whether she wants to confront her past or continue her focused mindset career instead.

Not only are many of the themes of this story related to many individuals nowadays but De Ross does a great job and revisiting how the past can still challenge you. Angelina encounters many of the scenarios she has dealt with in the past but her new, older self gives readers a maturing nature of the character as she contemplates these issues.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I enjoyed this romance story. This is a well written story about two people who fight for a cure and for a relationship. I enjoyed the author’s writing style and attention to details that added so much to the story. This is a fast paced story that is engaging and a page turner. This is a story that is written with a lot of emotion and it certainly took me on an emotional roller coaster. I enjoyed how the characters were able to pull me into the story. I had no problem relating to the characters as they are connectable, strong and supportive of each other. Julia and Griffin are great characters that have great chemistry. Their struggle to find a cure and keep their relationship together is left in the hands of fate. This story has great world building and growth throughout. There is alot going on in this story but I enjoyed how the author was able to keep me engaged. I really enjoyed this book and what the characters brought to the story. I highly recommend this book.

Blood & Ravens: A dark, paranormal romance (The Casket Girls Book 1)Blood & Ravens: A dark, paranormal romance by A.D. Brazeau
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This was certainly a change of pace from the contemporary romance and mafia focused novels I have been reading as of late. It’s always nice to incorporate the ways of life back before I was even a thought in my Mom’s mind into a mix of love, suspense, and paranormal beings, and by doing so, keeping the reader on their toes and unsure as to what is next to come. The world-building was very well done, in fact, I could just about smell the stank of the Casket girls as they made their way to their destination of New Orleans. The descriptiveness of the girls and how they are worse for wear made me feel for not only Greer, but the rest of the crew, despite their backstories differentiating, and grow fond of the connections that they make with each other and their want to make their lives the best they can be.

Life is full of struggles, which both Greer and Theron are more than familiar with. Though through their own choices and choices thrust upon them, their lives have been full dark clouds, with the occasional glimpse of sunshine, and getting to know them both, I desperately wanted more for them, and whispered encouraging words for their love to blossom. I enjoyed the novel and really want to get back into their world to see how they grow and what becomes of the deal that Greer has made, as the twists and turns haven’t yet come to a full stop! If you are looking for a swirl of different emotions and to have your heartstrings tugged at, then this is your next read!

Paranormal romance with twists and turns
After a slow start, this story comes unto its own. Greer and Theron, each have their past struggles to contend with if they have any hope of a future. The story line has a unique twist and the mix of mythology, romance and the paranormal is well done. The romance starts off slow and heats up to a burn. Each of the characters were developed and the world building on point. A worthy read.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

4.5 stars

Historical romance is not really my thing but I was pleasantly surprise by this compelling story and the authors narrative.

This enemies-to-lovers story is Giovanna’s debut novel and as a first book she has done very well. It is an historical romance story set in the 1870’s in the Douro region. It vividly showcases Portugals rich history, culture and lore’s and traditions and winemaking mixed in with a dash of romance. Giovanna’s beautifully written tale will not only capture your heart but will leave you wanting more.

With cultural differences and prejudices and a plague can one headstrong woman and one man who believes himself above others come together and find true love?

Julia is the best winemaker in the region. She has everything she loves and will defend it to the bitter end but it is all threatened by her late husbands’ debt.

Griffin is an arrogant Englishman. He doesn’t want to be where he is but trade dictates the need. However, he may just have met his match.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is such a fascinating book! It puts a whole different spin on werewolves and how they come to be. This book has it all, romance, mystery and the paranormal. It pulled me in from the very first page and I just couldn’t put it down. Joanie is going through a really rough period of loss in her life and she inherits a massive property from her grandfather. However, it comes along with a lot of baggage that she wasn’t expecting. That’s when she realizes that werewolves exist and as she becomes involved she finds herself in danger while also being attracted to someone she never thought she would be. On her way to find a cure, she realizes what she really wants from life and who she wants it with but will she get the chance to make her dreams come true? This is one paranormal book you aren’t going to want to miss and I can’t wait to read the next books in this series.

As she figures out what is really going on in town, she has to deal with enemies in the shadows, and hopefully allies as well. Read this book if you like fantasy, a strong heroine, and a wolf pack that will make your heart beat fast.

Man oh man reading this book for the first time was definitely a roller-coaster ride. A good one though. First I gotta say that Cecilia Dominic’s take on werewolfism (I know it’s not a word but you know what I mean🤣) was unique and I liked it.I have yet to read one like this. Secondly the suspense nearly killed me. I constantly shifted on who the bad person was. I had to stop myself multiple time from skipping to the end to reveal what happens 😭.I’m not a big fan of the best friend but Imma read the next one (her story) hopefully she’s better in that one but truly this was a great read im glad I read it.🥰

My rating: 3 of 5 stars

This is the second book in a YA mystery series in which a young woman living in the 19th century works to solve mysteries with the help of her friends. What I enjoyed about the story the most was that the main character, Emma, is strong-willed and curious while going outside of roles that females were traditionally limited by. I recommend this book and series to teens looking for a mix of historical fiction and mystery.

When I was younger, I really enjoyed reading books that had a young female detective that would solve mysteries. This new YA series reminds me of my love for that type of book mixed with historical fiction. This book is the 3rd in this series, and although it can be read as a stand-alone book, I do recommend reading the others first for small background details that help bring the story to life. I loved that the main character is bright, curious, and intelligent and goes against the norms for a female during that time period. I recommend this story for teens that are looking for a mix of a few genres and an enjoyable, easy-to-read story.

This was the first book I have read by this author, but I am so glad that this is part of a series so that I can continue in the world that she created. The characters are multi-dimensional and kept me guessing, as well as the relationships and interactions between the characters. The world created was mysterious and intriguing, which made this book easy to read and hard to put down. I liked the combination of Sci-Fi, supernatural, and crime-solving thriller elements. I also really like it when the main character is a strong, educated female that is able to hold her own with a group of alpha males. I look forward to picking up the next book!

5/5 Stars

The Fighter (An Underground Bad Boys Romance #3) by India Kells

Another great read by the author. The Fighter is Gage’s story and he finally gets his chance. This is the third book in the An Underground Boys Romance Series.

Gage is finally moving on. He’s moved closer to the beach and is now lost on what to do. He finds himself with two people, but can he be let down again? The quote I chose for Gage is: “I’m bisexual. Always have been. But I haven’t always been at peace with it either, so I don’t know what advice to give you. Listen. You’d better go now. I’m too tired to play shrink right now. You look like a great guy, but to be honest, apart from a good f***, I’d rather steer clear of complicated relationships, male or female. And I’m guessing you’re not ready for a quick romp. So good luck and good night.”

Ten is conflicted about what he wants. His best friend or the guy who is teaching him to fight. He isn’t sure what to do and he wants them both. Can he have them both? The quote I chose for Ten is: “No, no. It’s just that’s the first time a guy has done that to me. Seeing you on your knees, doing all those things, just made everything so intense. It shook me to the core. But I want to do it again. I want to do it to you.”

Juliet has always been attracted to Ten. He’s always been there for her. Then you throw in Gage and now she’s confused. What will she do? The quote I chose for Juliet is: “I’ve been attracted to you for a long time. I know you’re exploring things with Gage, but I thought it would be a good idea to give you a comparison, so to speak.”

Highly recommended for Erotica Romance lovers.

The Traitor (An Underground Bad Boys Romance #2) by India Kells

Another fantastic read by the author. She’s done it once again and leaves me wanting more. The Traitor is the second book in the An Underground Boys Series.

Spencer aka Knox is the oldest of the friends. We met Locke and now it’s Knox’s turn. He moves away to get away from his past, but it doesn’t stay behind him for long. The quote I chose for Knox is: “I said I wouldn’t touch you. Well, unless you want me to. You have my word. That’s not what my offer is about. That kiss was a mistake. You’re way too young, and it was way too inappropriate.”

Josie is working hard to pay off her ex husband’s debt. She’s working more than one job and it’s taking a toll on her. When she’s offered something so great she can’t turn it down. The quote I chose for Josie is: “Josie Baird. Thank you for offering me this chance. You and Georgia . I won’t let you down. I can assure you I’m an honest and hard worker.”

Highly recommended for Erotica Romance Lovers.

Enjoyable rom/com but with some seriousness as well in the story.

What can truly happen when your past love comes back into your life? This is what happens to Angelina when the new editor in chief takes over the magazine, “Unabridged”. The new editor in chief is none other than her ex, Blade. There were reasons why Angelina left Blade years ago, doubting that she was ever good enough for Blade. Quickly, things fall back into place and their love for each other picks up right where it left off. Will Blade and Angelina find their HEA?

This book is pretty fast paced, for me a bit to fast, I would have more of a slow burn on this. I love the story line overall with the romance and a little bit of drama that I did not see coming. Overall very good book!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Are you ready to fall in love with Stacy-Deanne’s characters? How about ready to dive into some deep south history and hurts? If you are, then you’re in for a treat. Meet Zenni, a strong woman who stands up for her beliefs, and meet Colton a man who knows what he wants.

‘“Or change it,” a male’s voice boomed with authority, but also had a soft edge that pulled you out of the lush surroundings and made you feel at home. “That’s what I’d do.” Colton Sage came into view, those frost-blue eyes immediately hitting Zenni’s soul. “Well, you must be Zenni Parker.” His graze caressed her curves.’

You may be able to guess what their motives are both romantically and with the plantation. But better you keep your suspicions to yourself and enjoy this well written book.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

What a great introduction to Portugal – the people, the wine, and the land! The main character, Julia, is a widow who is running a vineyard during a time when it was done only by men. It is 1870 and she is looked down upon for running the vineyard and speaking up to other men doing the same. She is independent, tough, headstrong, and willing to do anything to keep her vineyard going. When Griffin Maxwell comes to town to check in on his own vineyard, there is an instant connection. Julia teaches him about the culture, the stories, the food, and the grapes. Griffin is helping her find a cure to the plague spreading through vineyards, teaching her son how to ride a horse, and opening her up to new love. The setting is beautiful and the characters are very relatable. This was a page turner and I had to keep reading to see what decisions would be made and what obstacles they would have to overcome. All you need is a perfect glass of wine or Julia’s favorite, port!

PHENOMENAL book….the characters were sizzling off the pages, the chemistry between them was so hot! First read by Rowan Rossler, but it definitely will not be my last! Steamy, hot, romance that I could not put down until the last page was turned! I can’t wait for the next book in the series.

PR guru for the swanky, rich, LA crowd, Vandanna had it all. Successful business, movie star husband, great house and amazing friends….Until one day her husband dropped a bomb that shattered her world. Vandanna didn’t think she would ever be the same….that is until she met Morgan, the sexy, captivating, Moroccan billionaire whose playboy ways was a PR nightmare. Vandanna was looking forward to the distraction in working with Morgan; far, far away from LA and her soon to be ex-husband, however she definitely got more than she bargained for during her ten days in the Mediterranean.

I didn’t know what I was getting into when I picked this book up but what a ride!! I feel like the author has created his own genre of must-reads and I am now picking up all his other books. I couldn’t thumb through it fast enough yet I wanted more when it was over. This book is a thriller at its core and I did NOT see some of the twists and turns. This story being told in the age of COVID-19 made it even more relatable since everyone has had some sort of experience with it. The family secrets always tugging at the story along with crazy Eddie keep you wondering what’s really happening.

Josie is painted in different colors throughout the story and it’s interesting to see each shade of her. Of course, her being a mama bear pulls on my heartstrings because that’s such a strong connection. Will she do anything for her kids no matter the cost?
Highly recommend this psychological thriller, you won’t regret it!

K.G. Fletcher is a new author for me and I found her to be genuine who writes emotion so well you feel like your experiencing the emotions that the book characters are.
#1 Run to the Sea- Emmeline and Thomas were BFFs but Thomas takes off. This is two people reconciling trying to find out who they are and where they belong after a lot of years.

Loved the exotic setting, the chemistry between Morgan and Vandana, and the element of mystery and intrigue. Author did a great job of creating complex believable characters. I really liked Vandana’s perspective when her personal life had taken a nosedive. While we can relate with the heartbreak of an ending relationship, she decided to get away and take on a major professional undertaking at that moment. Life keeps going. She kept going. I found that inspiring. I also love the professional side of this where we have two people really good at what they do coming together for this project. So many angles to look at in this romantic read. Looking forward to more from this author!

This is not the first book I’ve read by the author. She does it once again and leaves you captivated. The Debt Collector will leave you hanging on the edge of your seat. This is the first book in the An Underground Bad Boys Romance Series.

Tessa is a doctor who spends too much time working. She helps out a girl who has gotten into some trouble. Now she’s the one in trouble and her debt collector is the only one to help her out. When things are done and over with everything things change. The quote I chose for Tessa is: “No! I’m done playing games. There are too many gray areas in our lives as there is. If you want something, ask for it.”

Thomas aka Locke is doing things that constantly are putting himself in danger. Then he sees the doctor that saved him in the one place he didn’t expect.

I want you to feel safe here and free to do what you want.”

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This would be a great “vacation” book. I enjoy a good romantic comedy once in awhile, and this was pretty dead on in that category. No deep, meaningful moments or a lot of intrigue, but funny moments with a few sexy scenes sprinkled throughout as well as some laugh out loud moments. It is comforting, once in awhile, to have a super light read where nothing surprising happens and everyone gets their sweet happily ever after.
The characters were fun to read about and what you get to see between them is complimentary – and vague enough to make you feel like you see your family and friends in them. Basic themes, nothing deep but a fun daydream kind of idea. Like I said, a perfect book to read on vacation and just relax!

Angelina is a journalist at literary magazine Unabridged. Her boss had given her free reign to choose topics and whether or not she came into the office to work. When she went to turn in her newest offering, a piece showing her lack of interest in the BDSM story genre, she finds a new boss in the office…who just so happens to be the man she left behind 3 years ago. Blade is still the hottest man Angie has ever seen, and her feelings haven’t faded since she ran away from him last time.

Things move pretty fast in this book, but it’s a fun, mostly lighthearted read. I could read an entire book about Zorro Kalashnikov!

Oh my lanta! Where do I start with this book? I was absolutely enthralled from beginning to end. It was a hard read with the emphasis on the pandemic, as we’ve gone through that. I know I tend to read to go somewhere else and not worry about the real world. Throughout the entire story though, even as I could relate to some of the events – such as the pandemic – I still needed to know what came next. Josie’s story is so well-written and wonderful, through all the twists and turns. The rendering of her family and the truly genuine relationships they shared were just done so well. I like to think that I would get along with her, and would love to meet her in the real world. However, I know and appreciate that her story was told in a way to showcase parts of her life and how she reacted. The emphasis she placed on protecting her kids was amazing, and honestly, I think there’s a little bit of Josie in everyone. Thank you for this fabulous story!

The story flowed at a very nice rare I found, and the characters were very easy to love and had their different amount of appeals. It was a story that sucks you in right from the start and you really grow with the story and characters.

I found the story had its appeal yes, but its own essence of beauty. The fine details the author had used, were impossible not to love and embrace within your mind. I felt I was right there beside Julia and Griffin. They were different, sure, but when they collided more than their body and mind collided, but also their soul. I loved reading their moments together as they grew as people, but to fight for what they knew that they were destined to, to save the vine yard, but would they save their souls and hearts in the process? The story was a easy read, with lots of tender moments and moments that defined the rest of the book I found. Truly loved it and very much enjoyed this author’s writing and amazing book they wrote!

Needless to say, this book is for sure a must read. It has a lot to offer to reader for sure, all the reader has to pick up this wonderful book, and indulge into all it has to offer. It is a high recommendation from me with no doubt, and not one to be passed up or missed out on. Prepare for a read that will take you away!
