Fearless Love by K.G. Fletcher
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
This was a quick read for me. The authors plot lines are familiar and this story flowed nicely as her others. The characters were well crafted and there were elements I could connect with. It fit the trope well and I’m a sucker for small town romance. It can be read as a standalone.

Give Us Bad Boys and Billionaires: A Dark and Steamy Romance Collection by L.M. Mountford- 5 out of 5 stars
Fantastic collection of short erotic stories that will have you needing a cold shower. Be aware that some may find subjects to be taboo or triggering in some of these stories. I love how this author writes strong, unapologetically erotic, dominant women characters who know what they want and go for it. If you want the spice, these books will definitely bring the heat. I highly recommend this collection.
Make Me Burn by Alicia Street
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Make me burn is a book about a girl who had crushed big time on her big brothers best friend. Jinx was always in love with Logan who never really had a family of his own. When Logan and Victor met, Victor basically made him a part of his family, coming home on breaks and holidays.
When Logan disappeared abruptly, Jinx was heartbroken. He deleted his email, changed his phone number and she had no way to contact him. All she knew was, Victor now hated his former best friend Logan and the entire family took Victor’s side.
When Jinx and Logan run into eachother many years later sparks fly and it’s like they have been close all along. They agreed to have one night together since both have always wanted that. They had a great night together which made it clear they both still wanted eachother as much if not more then when they were younger.
The only problem now is Logan knows Vic hates him and so does his family. He refuses to come between Jinx and her family.
Will she be able to uncover the truth so these two have a chance for a happy ending after finally being able to get together ? Loved this book from beginning to end. Another great read by this talented author with absolute lovable characters.

Outcast by Catherine Banks
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
The cover is absolutely gorgeous! That was probably what got my attention. But the story had a hold on me from the first page. The author did an amazing job with world building and the characters, you just get so attached! There’s so much going on in this story but it doesn’t feel rushed. There’s magic, shifters, steamy romance and so much more. I highly recommend reading this book!
Critical Care by R.L. Dunn
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
This is a fast-paced page turning, romantic suspense medical thriller. Book six in The Chase Care series. You could absolutely read this as a standalone, but I would definitely recommend all of the books as not only are the very well written, but some of the characters which are very well thought out are reoccurring. This happens to be Tim and Willow’s story and will not disappoint. Full of action, drama, medical jargon, emotions and so much more.
Bailey and the CEO: A Corporate Love Story by Amy Q. Barker
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Bailey and the CEO is a sweet second chance at love type romance. The author gives you two characters who are single parents for different reasons, making them easily relatable. With character growth displayed without. If it be in the present or in a flashback, you can see how they’ve matured, especially with what they’ve been through.
Bailey is a widow with two teenage girls in her life. She loves her daughters and her job. Yet at times she still feels like she’s coming up short. Though she lost her husband to a freak accident, she’s never moved forward with her life. Stayed out of the dating scene because it was easier. Until one morning flight to Detroit changed it all.
Fox is the CEO. He’s also a divorcee with two well rounded teenage boys. At the same time he also feels like he is falling short in the parenting category. Running a company doesn’t give one much time for a life outside of work, but it also allowed him to notice Bailey. However after everything he has been through he’s hesitant to break his walls down. Even though he feels something for Bailey he can’t explain or has ever felt before. Unfortunately she’s not some random girl but a VP is his company.
These two characters have so much going for them. But together it’s the fear that’s making itself known.
Will they get by?
Will they let their fears go and nosedive head first?
Unfortunately there are some obstacles along the way that could derail them, including their own children. The author has you rooting for them to work out. You get invested and want what’s best for them. This is the first book I’ve read by this author and I look forward to others in the future.
Basil by K. Rose
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Unique new twist on a classic genre. This is not only the first book I have read by the amazing K. Rose, but it is also the first book I have read in the Silver Springs Universe. Primary perspective Basil, but also glimpses of JJ, Theo, and Jo.
Basil was just a normal human until she woke up in the hospital after a fatal car accident and everything felt different, especially her body. Quickly discovering she was no longer a human but a vampire, her main fear was that she was a vegan, and she wasn’t about to change that now. Successfully becoming a truly vegan vampire, she starts over in the supernatural town of Silver Springs. Immediately after she meets her first employee and best friend Lainie. Soon after that she meets JJ and Jo, the owners of the local farm she got most of her ingredients from for her smoothie bar. They call her their flower, their mate. Still confused at the implications, enters Theo all in one day and is told again that she is his snowflake and mate. She never thought it was true vampires, shifters, clones, everything seemed out of a fairy tale, but the emotions were real and quickly she couldn’t resist the need and pull to claim them. Things were going great until hunters showed up and only saw her for the fangs and nothing more.
Can Basil succeed in surviving and living out her new life? What will her mates do to protect their queen? This town honestly sounds amazing and the new twists on supernatural’s brought a refreshing outlook on a highly enriched genre. While I haven’t read any of the other books in the Silver Springs Library (yet), I loved the little cameos by previous characters such as Amber, Violet, and Sugar. I look forward to going back and reading each of their unique stories as well as looking more into this amazing author’s personal works.

Critical Care by R.L. Dunn
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
I really enjoyed this book. It is book 6 of the Chase Care series, but even though I didn’t read the others prior to this one, it was not a problem. The relationship between Tim and Willow is well developed and does have some spicy romance parts, but the majority of the book is a very captivating storyline with lots of twists and turns and lots of great characters. I appreciated the medical and military/security jargon to give the reader a deeper sense of the story. I did really enjoy this book and will more than likely go back and read some of the others in the series.
Cricket met her mate and had a beautiful baby boy, but destiny had other plans, so it took away that man. After years of grieving and acceptance she understands that life will be just like this for her, oh but surprises are around the corner.
Boone feels the call of his mate and without any doubt in his mind he follows the line. The amazing things that are about to blow his mind will change every single thing he has ever learned about being a shifter.
This story is full of adventure and romance.
Critical Care by R.L. Dunn
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
This is the first R.L. Dunn book I’ve read, not offhand realizing that it was book 6 in the Chase Care series. That being said, other than being annoyed with myself for not starting at the beginning, you don’t HAVE to start at book 1, so don’t be discouraged if this is the topic that pulls you in!
Being in the medical field myself, I really really enjoyed that aspect of the story. There were enough things that I found relatable having worked both in oncology as well as the acute care (hospital) setting that I found the storyline very fun! The romance progressed quickly, which was enjoyable as well, and there were a number of *gasp* moments that had my husband turning to check on what was happening only to see me deep in the story. Definitely a catchy read, I’m eager to catch up on the rest of the Chase Care series!
The Missing Red Envelopes by Yobe Qiu
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
What a cute story. I love the new knowledge of culture, tradition and the Lunar New Year. The story is so full of adventure as well as siblings working together. While the girls are looking for their red envelopes, the reason behind the ergency is wonderful. A great story for our children and families alike. But even better for our children who are starting to read chapter books. The story is fast paced yet very interesting. The author for this story did a great job writing this book and I look forward to reading more from her.

Bailey and the CEO: A Corporate Love Story by Amy Q. Barker
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Bailey and the CEO: A Corporate Love Story (A Better Man, Book 1) by Amy Q. Barker. This is the first in the A Better Man series and I can’t wait for the next one. Its a pretty clean, fun, second chance romance. Its the story of Fox who is the CEO of a company that Bailey works at. She is Vice President of her department and never lets anything come between her and her job except her 2 daughters. After her husband passed away she focused on nothing but work to get thru and she worked her way to the top. Fox has 2 sons and is also working his butt off to save this company but he has made it more than clear his boys are priority. When they meet on a plane ride they hit it off immediately and feel like they have known each other for years. Fox has always known that Bailey was beautiful but once he’s gotten to know her he’s smitten. This is such a pure, fun, love story that will keep you flipping pages until you are done!

When Tim begins to get worse instead of better, his friends and Willow being to really investigate the contamination and find who is behind it. Will they find out in time?

Family Ties Family Lies by Jacqueline Boulden
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Family Ties Family Lies by Jacqueline Boulden. This is my first book by this author and it will for sure not be the last. I’m hooked! This is a great family drama filled with lies, secrets, sickness and facing your mortality. Its the story of Rose who is living her life in Philadelphia as a photojournalist doing just fine until she gets the call from home to come and care for her ailing mother. When she arrives home to Lake Amelia she is sucked into the small town drama. Realizing her mom is much sicker than she originally thought she is going to be here for a while. She decides to do some snooping and goes to the attic where she finds a whole secret box about a life her dad had that she never knew about. Being the journalist she is will she be able to let old secrets stay hidden or will she expose them and risk destroying lives of people she loves. The characters in this book and all the small nuances of the small town make this book so good and I can’t wait to read another book by this author.
The Missing Red Envelopes by Yobe Qiu
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
The Missing Red Envelopes by Yobe Qiu is a sweet story about two sisters, Lorie and Weina, who are excited about the upcoming Lunar New Year. They are looking forward to the parade, food, and collecting lucky red envelopes that contain surprises. When Weina realizes that she has lost all of her red envelopes their celebrations turn into an adventure/mystery. I thought that this was such a cute and fun story. It is a great introduction to chapter books. The adventure with the sisters engages kids easily. I highly recommend this book.

Bailey and the CEO: A Corporate Love Story by Amy Q. Barker
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
This is the first book in The Better Man Series. This author has a way of writing stories that are beautifully written but also relatable. The characters are likeable and you can’t help but feel drawn into their story. It is a woman’s fiction story so it full of emotion which keeps you engaged in their story.
This is a story about finding love in a unlikely place and realising what is in front of you.
I loved Bailey’s character. She is so down the earth. She is a single mum to teenage girls so she has a lot on her plate already as well as a high powered position at work. Since her husband passed she has juggled it all by herself and in my eyes has done an amazing job.
However her marriage wasn’t all sunshine and roses as her husband came across as being a little cruel always putting her down and making her feel like she is failing all the time, so when he passes this is her opportunity to find herself again, to rediscover who she is and what she wants from life.
As she does that she catches the eye of Fox the CEO of the company she works for. Every women breathing is attracted to Fox and Bailey is no different but why would he look at her? There is nothing about her that’s special or attractive. But boy how wrong she is.
Fox feels an instant chemistry with Bailey and is amazed that she doesn’t know how stunning she is both inside and out. Fox will stop at nothing until she sees herself has he does.
This story is a really beautiful read. I feel a connection with Bailey as I’m a person who also doubts myself constantly and doesn’t see myself as anything special so I understand her confusion and apprehension when this stunning man who could have any women he wants chooses her. It is a sweet read and I can’t wait to read more in this series.

Outcast is the first book in Her Royal Harem series and I love the interesting take on this paranormal reverse harem with drama, secrets, shifters, magic with some twists and turns along the way.

Strange occurrences come into play and Ember does what she can to help the wounded and cursed. When Ember discovers there is more to the cursed and her own powers, the hybrid shifters whom stay to help her with the mystery on why so many are being curse and whom is behind it all. Will Ember be able to solve this issue and will Ember be able to navigate finding out there is more to why her parents do not want anything to do with her….there is so much to this…
I am curious how this will all play out….as from the start of this story I was turning the pages to see what happens next and how the story plays out…..I cannot wait until the next installment comes out!
Fearless Love by K.G. Fletcher

I have loved this series so much! Now you do not have to read the books in order but I highly recommend you do to get the full story of the Bennett family. This has been the best series. It has everything from sweet love to drama and some steamy scenes. This is the final book in the series and it has been a great ride. In this one we get to know more about James and he has such a compassionate heart. I laughed every time I read his nickname that Sara gave him, like out loud so that my household looked at me funny. This book really took everything home and made it complete. Of course I would always love to read more about this family but am good with how it ended. I cannot recommend this series enough! This author has a way with writing that feel good romance.

I have not read any books by this author and I was blown away! It was such a great story. I loved that I felt as though I was immersed in the story with the characters. I cannot wait to read more by this author! I cannot wait to tell my friends about this so they can read this too!!
I couldn’t put this book down. Alicia did it again!! The characters that kept me going were Logan Bennett and of course Jinx D’Alessio. He was her brother’s best friend and her fantasy lover. Can they ever find a way to be together or are they destined to loved each other from afar? You must read the story to find that answer as I did. I felt the betrayal that happened between Logan and Jinx throughout the story, I also felt the love that they have had since they were teens. I felt a odd connection with Jinx because of her story about finding love at a young age and yet realizing that no one even notices except Logan. Logan has a harder time with everything because of something that might have happened between him and Vic (who is Jinx’s brother). I really think that you should read the North Fork Series Book 9.
