Key To His Heart by Kristina Beck
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

When I say this was one of the best books I have read this year I am not lying. It is such a…. Wonderful doesn’t fit the bill but it is a wonderful read. You instantly fall in love with Katrina and TJ. You find yourself rooting for them and their created family. Then Katrina starts explaining things from her past that brought her to TJ. That’s when the story gets you hooked even more. Like can’t put it down hooked. Katrina and TJ are instantly thrown into turmoil when she has an episode that puts her on edge. However, TJ’s mom fills Katrina in on a little family secret about TJs grandparents. I love how his whole family just brings her into the family. I do believe that people come back to us in the way they are supposed to and this story gave me goosebumps once the family secret was revealed. This was a quick read for me, but it was also very hard to put down and stop reading. It was THAT good. It’s one of those stories that makes you have all the feels. I was crying right along with Katrina and my heart broke right along with TJs. I would love to see this as a movie and see these characters come to life. The epilogue answered some of the questions I was left lingering with but I so wanted more of this story. This author did a phenomenal job with her writing this story and making you fall in love with all the characters.

Love in the Roses by T.L. Clark
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Historical fiction is one of my favorite genres, so I was very excited to read this book. I especially love books, TV shows, and movies that have to do with royalty and medieval times, and this book had both. The language is beautiful and you can tell the author did the research. I appreciated that there was an introduction to the time period to remind or teach readers about the time period in which the story took place. I recommend this book to anyone that enjoys romance stories or historical fiction. The cover is beautiful as well. I look forward to reading more from this author in the future.

Enchanted in Time by Nikki Lynn Barrett
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Roxanne takes a job as a caregiver to Claudette Grayson, an author who is on her deathbed. Claudette asks Roxanne to be a ghost writer and finish her final book. Prior to this, Roxanne was reeling from a loss so great, she was struggling to get past it. She is hoping this new job will help.

As Roxanne begins to read through notes and get things in order for writing, she finds strange things happening in the house. The music box plays music, a fresh rose is left behind…she hears voices. But whose? Could it be the character from the book she is helping to write? Is it someone else who has passed?

This is a book with quite a few twists and turns – ones you would never guess! The ending was not what I anticipated – good one, Nikki Barrett!

KISS A THIEF by Marina Hanna
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Talk about STEAMY!!! This is a fast paced contemporary romance book good for the soul!

Mia and Dylan meet at the gallery Mia works for, while she has no clue that Dylan is a frequent buyer for the same gallery. After a while of some harmless flirting, on Dylan’s part, and selling art while flirting on Mia’s part, Dylan leaves rather quickly and suddenly but not without merit. She is disappointed, but has some new material for her “alone time” – as does Dylan. Things heat up quickly and move fast.

When Dylan has an extremely rare and expensive piece stolen, the detective immediately points to Mia and the distrust, fear, and angst come into play. Will Dylan and Mia get to the bottom of who stole the art piece? Will they be able to trust one another again? Will their chemistry and feelings for one another carry them through?? I guess you’ll have to continue the story to find out.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This was an interesting read for me. I was just as confused as Roxanne a majority of the time with what was happening. It is like an episode of the Twilight Zone. I like the idea of this story, but I think the pacing of it fluctuated a little too much for it to remain believable for me throughout the entire read. The ending threw me for a loop though!! I definitely did not expect all that! This book is a quick read with a touch on grief and a happily ever after ending.

The suspense, the characters, the twists and turns…All fantastic! That ending though! Woah, I wasn’t expecting that! I love a good shock and a good surprise! Makes a good book in my opinion! Highly recommend this one, I read it in one sitting. I couldn’t put it down.

Thief by Leslie Georgeson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Bratva, hidden secrets, nothing is as it seems…..This is a love story with some awesome suspense. Dominick is the car thief for the Popov Bratva. He’s got many secrets to hide. Leah is a country singer with a background that she doesn’t want known. One night, an attempted car heist brings these two together and the rest is, as they say, history. Oh my, I love the drama. The sparks fly of the two of them. There is chemistry so hot that I’m surprised the car didn’t melt. These two try to avoid each other and instead wind up closer then ever. The characters are so well-written. They are very relatable. I was shocked with a few of the plot twists. I was rooting for them also. I loved the dialogue. The plot ran smooth even with a couple of sub stories. This is a contemporary romance that is a quick read and quite enjoyable. You should hit that one-click and give it a read. You won’t be sorry. Highly recommend.

Death & Mirrors: All Things Dark & Deadly, Book One by S.F. Benson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I really enjoyed this first book in the series. Evaline is an intriguing protagonist who is witty and smart. You are immediately captivated in the story. The wheels in her head are always turning as she notices every small nuisance. I can definitely relate to that myself! The life of an overthinker!

The book follows Evaline, as she is lost in a parallel world that is dark and dangerous. She is not one to give up and meets some very interesting characters along the way. I really look forward to seeing what Book 2 has in store!

GOODREADS – Thief (Popov Bratva #4) by Leslie Georgeson | Goodreads

I live by one simple rule.

Do not get attached.

Feelings are a weakness that I can’t allow.

It’s an easy rule to abide by. Keep everyone at a distance.

Then a sassy, smart-mouthed redhead interferes in my heist. For the first time in my life, I botch the job.

If I let her go, she’ll turn me in. I have no choice other than to take her hostage.

Too late, I learn she’s a celebrity. Her disappearance will make the headlines and lead back to me. She’s nothing but trouble in a tight, sexy body.

Can I strike a deal with a woman who challenges me at every turn?

Then I discover she has secrets that could ruin her. Now I have the upper hand. I plan to use it to my advantage.

She has more to lose than I do. Or so I think.

I am about to learn that some rules are meant to be broken.
