This book had my emotions everywhere. Joe and Hunter had a great story. Both of these characters had so many layers and I loved peeling them all back. I actually closed the book and reread it all over again. Joe starred out with revenge but quickly became something much more and he wanted Hunter in his life forever. Really well written and the story flowed so well it was over before i wanted it to be.

Wow! Am I ever glad I decided to pick this novel up. I was very unsure as I have never been a fan of the UFC nor any form of wrestling for that matter, but this was so much more than that. The connection you can feel between Grace’s family members within these pages, and the yearning she has to provide for those she loves.
I thoroughly enjoyed this authors writing style, the way the characters are built up and you just get to connect with the main character on the deepest level possible, and as the novel goes on, that love and adoration grows. I very much look forward to reading more of the Grace series, and do hope you decide to purchase this novel as well, you won’t regret it!

What I like about this book us the telling like Romeo and Juliet, but with way better results and great tellings! What I like even better is the MM romance in this series as well! Jace is a watcher, and not many like him for it. One of his enemies, a messenger, is looking for peace and not war and is in the interest level for Jace. This is where you read to see where it leads. It even tells you which characters relate to the Romeo and Juliet scene. Great read!
Undeniable is book two in the Central Florida Stories series by Victoria Saccenti but is a standalone. I am a die-hard smut reader and the spice in this book is off the charts!!! I love my smut with a good story behind it and Kurt and Arely kept me sucked in and guessing though the whole book. If my childhood crush grew up to not only be my price charming but a Dom I would be in heaven lol. This book has everything I could have asked for, spice, Dom/sub, excitement, mystery and did I mention spice?? I promise you will not want to put this down…

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It took me a bit to get used to reading about a character with the same first name as me, but it wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be 🙂
Katrina is starting over – she is divorced, pregnant, and hasn’t made any connections with anyone in the small town she moved to. Through a series of coincidences, she meets TJ twice in one day, and he helps her when she goes into early labor. Their connection is instant! What follows is a story that is heartwarming with a couple mysterious happenings. Like many stories, some of the conflict of this story could have been avoided if the characters communicated a bit better, but unlike many stories, the reason Katrina avoided telling TJ what was going on actually made perfect sense and I am not sure I would have said anything either. TJ is a wonderful person and is absolutely adorable with Toby. Everyone should have someone like TJ in their corner!

Simons – Review by Roxsanne Lesieur.
In 15th Century England and in the time of the War of the Roses where Isabel lives with her parents in rural Suffolk, they are a loving unit and she has no want to leave their side, however, she has come of age and is now told by her mother that she needs to start thinking about her future and the marriage that this will entail. Isabel is shocked and cannot believe that her parents are thinking of this and it makes her anxious and unable to concentrate on her daily lessons, she asks about her intended and is disheartened when no information is forthcoming, apart from that her father is travelling a long way to make the intended match and that it is a good one. As the days pass and her father returns from his travels, he makes the announcement that he has made an arrangement and that she has indeed been promised to a young knight, Sir William, however, when she overhears that it is a match with a family on the wrong side of the War of the Roses, she cannot believe what she is hearing and her anxiety ramps up a notch or two.
As her anxieties increase and the day of her wedding approaches, Isabel’s mother comforts her with words of wisdom, as do the Good Women whom she has grown up around, but she is still a little scared at the idea of her father giving her away to a Lancastrian supporter when all she has known is the Yorkists, but she puts it aside and tries to make the best of the situation. As she approaches the aisle and sees her betrothed for the first time, she is satisfied by how handsome and polite he is and doesn’t let her emotions run away with her as they exchange vows and celebrate with the friends and family surrounding the newly wed couple. The hardest part of it all is leaving her family the next day to travel to her new home, with a trip to visit another relative of her husband, however, tensions run high on the journey, but she keeps her opinions as much to herself as she can, even if this means increasing tensions between the newlyweds.
This continues on the long journeys they embark on as they make their way slowly to their new home, but what kind of reception will they receive and will love be able to remove the barriers the opposing alliances create? In a time of unrest, lies, secrecy and danger, 15th century England is not the easiest place to build a new life, but these young partners do their best to be a good husband and wife to the other in every way, emotionally, physically and mentally as they embark on a new life in this captivating historical romance.

Clark – Review by Roxsanne Lesieur.
I really enjoyed this romance story. The author did an amazing job with the story and the characters. For me the character and their connection is what made the story for me. I loved how much fun they were and the banter going back and forwards between Anna and Phillip I’d what really brought this couple to life. I have to say i adored Anna. She is such a fun character and she doesn’t mince her words or bother about what she says or who too and for me that is her charm. She can play nicely when she needs to but she doesn’t see why she should be any different than she is and that’s a good message for women just be yourself.
This is a romance story between friends when they play at being a couple. Anna is her own woman, she has her own mind and she won’t act a certain way because it’s expected of her. Phillip is the opposite. Because of his title he has to act and behave in a way that is appropriate for his title. Anna and Phillip have been friends for years and there has always been a spark between then. So when Phillip proposes they pretend to be in a relationship to keep the press of his back, what could possibly to wrong?
As they navigate their new reality with each other they don’t realise when things start to slide between being fake and turning into reality.
Will Anna and Phillips relationship survive all the media and his familys interfering? Will they realise that what they have is real and not fake before its too late?

Enchanted in Time by Nikki Lynn Barrett This book is a quick read, but i found the interactions between two women, Roxanne and Claudette nostalgic as it quickly took me back to when I would sit on the porch with my grandma and talk about old times in the family while sipping coffee and eating cake. It immerses you into the life of Roxanne who becomes a ghostwriter for Claudette, an eclectic stubborn, famous writer who has dementia. As I read the pages I kept waiting and kept intrigued enough to keep going. I became so interested and anxious for the next page, the next line. I like that the author didn’t spend a great amount of time laying the foundation for the characters. Instead, you read it as is and learn as you go. It’s a quick read that is overall worth the read.

Set in 15th century England, this a cute historical medieval romance. Isabel’s father arranges a marriage for her with to William. William is of the House of Lancaster, who is on the other side of the war, who is the house of the enemy. It was a great story of strangers falling into being husband and wife. The dialect was great. Loved following Isabel as she learned to become a woman, a wife and lady of the house. How she overcame her insecurities and learn her way. The author did a great job with time period descriptions, customs and medieval knowledge in the writing. It was a great story about overcoming the odds.

Street-savvy Aimee, a woman content in the life of simplicity she has managed to survive with, finds herself in the precarious situation of saving someone on one of her courier jobs. Little does she know, Aimee has just saved Sheikh Qadir Saif-Ad-Din – a royal. Soon, the unlikely couple finds themselves falling for each other – but that doesn’t mean everything is about to fall into place… This was a wonderful read! I always love a good romance, but the action and overall flow of the story went beyond the typical sweetness of a solid romance and transformed the tale into an amazing story! Many romantic-suspense books fall short of the mark, with either too much romance or not enough, but this one had it all – as well as the added bonus of great world-building and intricate characters. If you’re looking for a burning romance with the added spice of adventure, this is the book for you!

Smith – Review by Amanda Gonzalez
This was a great take on Romeo and Juliet…with more focus on the love story than the tragedy!
In Sin City, there are three types of celestials: Watchers (fallen angels), Demons (the offspring of an angel and human), and Messengers (almost like enforcers). There has been a war going on between them for years, with the Messengers wanting to rid the world of the other two.
Jace is a Watcher and his best friend, Cassius, is a Demon. While an unlikely pair, they have been around each other for centuries and have a special bond…oh, and Cassius is in love with Jace’s sister Hesper. Jace is looking to find that forever man for himself…but so far has found himself heartbroken and always wanting the man that’s wrong (or forbidden to him). He finds himself in the same predicament again when a new Messenger comes to town…Cyrus.
Cyrus is assigned to Sin City…but he does not have the same disdain for other celestials like his former lover, and leader of the Messengers, Xavier. Xavier is having a hard enough time with Astra, an archangel, who is over all the war between the celestials and wants peace. He is hoping that the arrival of Cyrus will mean another on his side..but that is not the case. Cyrus, however, is in search of peace.
The connection between Cyrus and Jace is instantaneous (and viewed as forbidden among many). They, however, don’t see each other as enemies…but as being on the same side. As they are falling in love, and a war continues to brew around them, Cyrus and Jace’s time may be limited. When Xavier finds out about them, he is determined to put an end to Jace. When the moment comes, will Cyrus choose Jace or will his loyalty always be to the Messengers.
This was an interesting story that pulled me in from the beginning. I found myself enthralled with the different celestials and the history of their war. I can see the resemblance to Romeo and Juliet…but I was too into the story to think about it at the time. I enjoyed Jace’s character…and the supporting characters were great. I found myself reading for long periods of time because I did not want to put it down!
Note: This story ends on a cliffhanger and Jace and Cyrus’ story will continue…and I am looking forward to it.
Anna McDonnell is building a business but in order to do that she needs to put herself out there socially. The one saving grace at the latest function is seeing Phillip, the Earl of Arburne again. Phillip is her brothers best friend and the man she kissed not too long ago. Both have problems, Anna trying to socially navigate her blooming business and Phillip’s bachelor status that is fodder for the tabloids. They come up with a plan, Anna will be Phillips girlfriend but what happens when feelings get involved?
Fun read. I enjoyed how this story developed between Anna and Phillip. Entertaining romance with a royal flare.

This is the 2nd book in this great BDSM series. This was the book that has caught my eye but seeing that it was the second book in the series I decided to read the series in order. Each book can be read as a standalone but I chose to read I order as the main couple from book 1 appear in this book and the hero from this book Kurt appears in book one. I loved book one and as soon as I was finished I jumped straight into this book. Having met Kurt in book 1, I was really intrigued to read his story. Maybe it wasn’t mentioned in the first book, or maybe I missed it but I assumed Kurt was much older when reading book one. Kurt is a really amazing character to read about, I thoroughly enjoyed reading his story and see him get the HEA he truly deserved with Arely. Arely had crushed on Kurt as a teenager and unknown to her the feeling was entirely mutual. When they meet 12 years later so much has changed. I loved reading their story. A expected with a BDSM story, the sex scenes are hot and steamy but this book is about so much more than the sex scenes. A fantastic read. Definitely recommend.

There was a lot of things I loved about this book. Bobbi and rose were 2 strong female charters in this story, which I loved. I feel in love with max from the beginning, his love and care for Max! The story had a ton suspense, action, and romance. I did have a few issues. The different point of views seemed to be alot for this book, and I felt the villains point of view was unnecessary to plot. There also seems to be alot of “fluff”, I had a hard time staying focused and kept having to start pages over because I would zone out. It just didn’t hold my intention well.
The book did leave off with a large cliff hanger so I will definitely be reading the next book in the series. I hope that some of the issues I had don’t continue.

Dunn – Review by Allison Davis
Eliza is an American headed to the UK for a family reunion of the Jane Austen variety. She has a whole list of things she would like to knock off her bucket list while there, but she is really there to fix a family issue between her father and uncle. What starts as just a mission to find out why her father was estranged from her family turns into a real whodunit when bodies start piling up.
I caught a few references to the Austen line of books with the Darcy’s and the Bennett’s but I’m not an Austen reader. That being said, this was still a really great, fun, well written book and I loved every word! Eliza is a wonderful character full of personality and drive and smarts. Heath is a perfect play against her. The wacky aunt makes every appearance enjoyable. Just…read this book. I can’t wait for the next installment!
This is the first book in a BDSM series by an author that was new to me. It was actually the blurb of the 2nd book in the series that caught my eye, so I decided to read the books in order. They can be read as standalones but I know that the main characters from this book also appear in the second so for me the decision was made to read in the order they were written. I’m really glad that I decided to read this book and not just read book 2 as I really loved Joe and Hunter’s story. At the beginning both characters come across as quite cold and calculating, but as you get to know the real characters as the story progesses, you really see their true qualities shine through. I grew to love both these characters and was really rooting for them to get the HEA they deserved. Being a BDSM story, as you may imagine the sexy times are HOT. The author does a great job of having Dominant Joe bring out the true submissive in Hunter and it really made for some compelling reading. 100% recommend.

Loved this read! Nice, easy afternoon curled up in front of fire. I haven’t read anything by N D Jackson previously and i really enjoyed this book. On further investigation this is the 5th book in the series. Having said that it is a stand alone story of Kiki and Eric.
The storyline is well written and I loved the small town setting. I’d love to say Kiki was relatable but I’m no pop star. I loved the strong character development throughout the book. I couldn’t relate to Kiki’s famousness; however I felt I could relate to her wanting a normal life. The chance to experience falling in love like everyday, non-famous people!

Jackson – Review by Michelle G
This book was a complete slow burn with a few twists that I didn’t see coming. It was wonderfully written and the characters all had growth throughout the book. Anna has set terms to this “fake” relationship that leave Phillip unsure of how to act or behave. Everything is going swimmingly with these two and their relationship until something happens and Phillip seems to think he knows what is best for all parties involved. These characters are relatable and the dialect that is used throughout the book really makes you feel as if you are in Scotland. I highly enjoyed this book and would recommend it to anyone who loves a sassy female lead. This book is a quick read because it is a constant page turner. You will find yourself wanting to know what feisty Anna is going to do or say next, or you’re waiting to see if the shell that Phillip surrounds himself by will come crashing down. By far one of my favorite reads of the month. Reviewed by @bbohls

The two lead characters in this book are well written and develop beautifully throughout the story. I guess you would say Anna has a real zest for life and I found her to be a truly wonderful character to follow through this fun story and one that I fell for straight away. Phillip is an Earl who takes all that involves and his sense of duty very seriously and I’ll be honest at the start I thought to myself OMG he is so damn stuffy! Getting to know him more through the book I loved him just as much as Anna. With such creative writing, fun humorous moments and a HEA that makes you just feel good this is a book not to missed and this fabulous author definitely has a new fan in me. As this is my first book by this author and book 4 I will be going back to read the others in this series for sure!

I really enjoyed this story. It connects so much to real life and I loved, being able to put myself in that situation without feeling impossible. I also enjoyed how the author lets the story build up instead of throwing you into action. In a way, I could see myself as Roxanne because I enjoy writing stories, and maybe who knows I could find an author and join.

Fairly Royal is an opposites attract contemporary romance This was the first time I have read anything by this author and I was pleasantly surprised. Grace had me at Scotland, so reading anything about Scotland brings back vivid memories of my time spent there. I love Scotland. Add in a steamy romance and I’m hooked.
This slow burn brother’s best friend romance will have you hoping that there is the perfect man out there and just waiting for you. If only. Any how this is the fourth book in this series but I didn’t discover this until I was more than half way through so now I will go back and read the others.
I loved the humour that Grace infused throughout the story making it feel that more realistic. There is sweet and sexy, steam and drama, a fake relationship that may or may not develop into more and characters that you will enjoy. The story is very well-written and well-developed.
If you love contemporary romances, you will love this book.

Rosalie is unable to move due Guillain-Barre Syndrome. J.D. Spero created the perfect drama filled with passion and revenge. Rosalie has a home health nurse, Cate, who has formed an attachment to spending days with her. Likewise, her husband, Vincent, has become detached and begins going to therapy. However, Anastasia has fallen in love with her patient, and finally reveals her feelings to Vincent. Vincent’s upbringing has taught him to take full advantage of the situation, and he convinces Anastasia he feels the same way.
Then one day, Rosalie utters a word. Cate, happily wants to let Vincent know his wife has started to recover, however Rosalie persuades her to keep her progress secret. Cate doesn’t fully understand but agrees to. Meanwhile, she is having to deal with her pessimistic mother’s declining health and seeks a counselor. Cate served as a medic during the Iraq war and started therapy with Anastasia. How will this drama unfold?
An unpredictable plot filled with deception, I found the justification for Rosalie’s anger to be on point. I’m not sure if I could have betrayed the one person who I could depend on though. Being stuck in a mental and physical prison for several years obviously changes a person’s view on their circumstances.

The Secret Cure by J.D Spero is a tense psychological thriller that kept me intrigued right till the very end. Ms. Spero has woven a wonderfully twisted tale of love, betrayal, jealousy, lies, secrets, deceit, revenge, and unexpected developments. It is also told from several points of view- which gave me a really well-rounded perspective of what was happening and added extra depth and intrigue to the overall story. I don’t want to reveal too much here and ruin the suspenseful twistiness that comes with this read. I suggest going in blind and letting the author, characters, and story, surprise you! My favourite read from Ms. Spero to date…. And I can’t wait to see what she does next! Happy reading!

I was enraptured by The Girl Who Escaped. The author kept you on the edge of your seat the whole time. I have love/hate relationships with crime dramas. I either love them or hate them, no in between. This one I loved! I couldn’t put it down. Keeping me interested even when not feeling well, reading it cover to cover in one go. Angie, a victim who has been convicted of a crime she didn’t commit. Ends up arrested and in a psychiatric facility due to her traumas. She feels she let her bestfriends down when she ran for her life, because it meant the end of theirs. Now it’s time to prove her innocence. With the help of FBI agent Brenda as well as Jake and his dog Cody, she’s on a mission of redemption and closure. Zarin is after her. She injured him greatly and got away. He can’t let her live to see another day. Unfortunately the Prince wants her for himself. So now he’s on the mission to get her back and bring her to him. The author weaves a wonderful story of a girl’s redemption and survival. While also shedding light on one thing a lot of young women fear. Kidnapped for trafficking. This book was well written and keeps you interested the whole way through. If you like crime dramas, give this author a shot! I know I will look into other books by this author in the future, I’m definitely a fan!

I’m not normally a thriller kind of girl but after seeing the intriguing cover and reading the synopsis I knew I had to read this one right away. I have read a couple of books by this author and he never disapoints. Full of mystery, suspense, drama, and more this book definitely kept me on the edge of my seat. Combine all of that with the incredible character development, and the fantastic word building, and we’re in for a wild ride.

Set in the 15th century England, Isabel is learning the ways of being a wife as she learns that her parents have chosen her suitor. Sir William is her betrothed and they meet at the altar. Their wedding brings about much pomp and circumstance and it’s obvious that the author put a lot of time researching the customs and language of the times. The rest of the book focuses on the relationship that they have with each other and those around them.
I found this to be a very enjoyable read! I appreciate the historical accuracy woven within this story. I look forward to more stories by this author!

Plenty within these pages This book had a bit of everything YA lovers would enjoy. Magic, paranormal beings, other worlds and strong characterisation. There’s action and cool weapons too. The author does a brilliant job of bringing this world to life. The MC was a bit slow on the uptake at times, but this isn’t a big issue. A really engaging read.
