Aimee is a bad ass! I am in love with her spunky character and give no shits attitude! She is not your normal New Yorker, she only wants the little things to make her happy.

Let It Be Love: A Mustang Prairie RomanceLet It Be Love: A Mustang Prairie Romance by N.D. Jackson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This was a very charming, lovable romantic book that I enjoyed very much. I’m familiar with previous books by this author so I was pretty sure I would enjoy it. She did not disappoint. This is book five in this wonderful series. I believe this is my favorite of the series so far because it includes a famous pop star and all the drama and glamour that goes along with it. This interferes with the romantic relationship on so many levels but is so understandable that sometimes you just feel sorry for the two romantic leads. And of course, being a small town, there are even more stumbling blocks in the way they encounter. It’s wonderful. While it’s not necessary to read these books in order I think that you will enjoy it more if you do. And they are all great reads, so you won’t be disappointed.

Key To His HeartKey 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.

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.

I HIGHLY recommend this book, if you love mystery you won’t be disappointed.

Enchanted in TimeEnchanted 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 THIEFKISS 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.

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.

Thief (Popov Bratva #4)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.

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!

FIRST, the cover- I am absolutely obsessed. The color scheme is so pretty and the art is lovely. This was a great read that was hard to put down! EmVee was so interesting and multidimensional- she was a great character to watch grow throughout the novel. The story development was incredible- the magic was so wonderfully described and scenes were descriptive enough for me to imagine myself within the pages. I’m glad this was my final read for July because it ended with bang!

Elle was a very strong female character who I enjoyed very much. This author takes us to new planets that are very vividly described and she does so mixing in humor, action, romance, and the unknown.

I am a big fan of dystopian novels/stories and this was a pretty satisfying one! I enjoyed the events that led to the creation of this world-especially the fact about how it could potentially happen (one of the reasons I Am Legend FREAKS me out)! The character development was really great and flowed naturally-Calums character was fun to follow. I felt like it was really obvious the author was passionate about their work. This is my first from them and I am excited to read more!

Saved by Love (Bellevue Bullies #7)Saved by Love by Toni Aleo
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I love that this book talked about not just mental health in general, but specifically men’s mental health. Mental health is still such a taboo subject and to have a book that talks about it is great! Men’s mental health is more taboo that women’s because men are seen as strong, virile, and like nothing can get to them. When in reality that is not the case, they are just as prone to mental health issues as women and should never be ashamed of it.
I loved the characters of Evan and Callie, I think they were a great match. I can’t wait to read more in this series!

LeviLevi by Edith Mackenzie
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Edith MacKenzie has created a thrilling adventure in Levi; the first book of the series on The Brothers of Creekside Ranch.

Levi, an extremely angry ex-seal is tasked with protecting Bella turned Beccy. As Bella learns to be a nanny/housekeeper for Levi and his family, sparks fly between her and Levi – not always in a good way.

The story was fairly forthright. We know that somethings coming and hope for a Happily Ever After. The characters were intriguing with just enough background to help with flow but not enough to fully clear the mysteries of the past. I did have trouble with some of Bellas decisions which caused me to have to put the book down to breathe but I’m so glad I finished it. What a story!! Now onto the next installment!

Saved by Love (Bellevue Bullies Series #7) by Toni Aleo

This is the first book I’ve read by the author. Saved by Love is an amazing read. It shows that all humans aren’t perfect. Some of us have mental health issues that we don’t talk about. This book shows that athletes also deal with mental health issues and that isn’t talked about very often.

Callie hasn’t had the best childhood, but her sister gave her the best she could. Losing her mother at a young age due to a horrible thing, her sister ends up with it as well. Then she meets Evan. Can the two of them get their happily ever after? The quote I chose for Callie is: “What dickbags? I don’t even know their names. I don’t even want to know their names. I wouldn’t recognize them in the crowd. All I see is youuuuu…”

Evan has stepped away from Hockey. Not any Hockey the NHL. He’s taking care of himself and not playing is part of the new journey he’s on. He isn’t expecting Callie to show up in his life, but he sure is glad. Can Evan ever overcome the fear of ice? The quote I chose for Evan is:“I’m not going home with her. I’m going to Owen and Angie’s, but I am riding with her.”

Highly recommended for New Adult lovers.

It kept me on the edge of my seat, needing to know what came next. If you enjoy psychological thrillers that keep you wondering, with alternating points of view, this is one you should definitely read!

This is the first book I’ve read by the author. Love in the Roses is a good book. It’s the first book in the Love Through The Ages Series. The author captured my attention from the beginning to the end.

Isabel is at the age where she can be married off. Her father is looking for a good suitor. Her father is a Knight so hopefully he won’t choose a bad guy. Will Isabel be able to do this? The quote I chose for Isabel is: “Oh, Mother, how shall I ever part from one such as you? If I have been the best of daughters it is only because you are the best of mothers.”

Highly recommended for Historical Romance lovers.

This is another fantastic read by the author. Princess of Prias is a great book. I had a hard time putting it down when I started it. L and her Royal Guard protector had me hooked and I’m sure you’ll love it just as much.

L was born on Earth, but she is a Princess of another planet. She has no clue what is going on so imagine her surprise when a guy shows up and tells her that she needs to go with him. When she finds out all she needs to know and finds herself falling for Locan. The quote I chose for L is: “Good, because I have a lot of work to do and I am hoping I can find a good man to be my King.”

Locan is a Royal Guard Member and his task is to save as many of his people as he can. When he finds the Princess on Earth he knows he can’t leave without her. Locan is also a Warrior and doesn’t exactly trust his other half. The quote I chose for Locan is: “How about a strong man who makes plenty of mistakes but loves you endlessly?”

Highly recommended for Fantasy Romance lovers.

This is the first book I’ve read in the Mustang Prairie Romance series but it won’t be my last. I loved the story from start to finish. I wish it was a bit longer lol. I would have loved to see how their lives were years later. Eric is such a wonderful person. N.D. Jackson did such a wonderful job creating an all around likable guy. He cared for everyone, fought for what he believed in yet was patient enough to make sure Kiki was taken care of. I felt bad for Kiki after learning about her upbringing and secrets. Even though stardom came at a cost she kept an open heart and stayed down to earth. The story gave me Debbie Macomber vibes (Which is one of my favorite authors), but it had a bit more drama involved. I look forward to reading more by this author.

I was totally surprised by this book in such a good way. I love good mystery and story was truly fantastic. While I hesitate at dueling timelines, the author does such a fantastic job and the timelines were very easy to follow and keep straight.

Joel and his brother Clancy Fitchett go through so much, especially growing up with an overbearing father who is not to kind. Joel is beaten badly and Clancy is unconscious..what happened to these boys? Joel and Clancy cannot truly recall the events that happened on that night but only leave Joel scarred. Years later both boys are investigated in a murder…but lies to protect a pact has its price.
Fast forward years down the road, Garrison Stark is trying to put some pieces together if truly
Clancy Fitchett is his grandfather. As Garrison peals back the pieces of the puzzle…what truth truly comes out?

I love the alternating story timelines and just the heart of the matter of the twists and turns you feel for this story. Mystery, heartbreaking and the bond between brothers…..just a fantastic story and so well done.

This audiobook blew me away! I will be buying a hard copy for my shelf asap! While I think this book is excellent for YA, As a full grown adult I thoroughly enjoyed! This is my first from the author and WOW, I will be getting more ASAP. The book flowed nicely, narration was great and I found myself zoned out to anything else while listening. It was fascinating, relative with a fantasy spin and just an incredible story!! Would recommend all the way!
