Family Secrets (Whispering Pines Mystery #1)Family Secrets by Shawn McGuire
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I adored this book! I really wanted to meet everyone! Meeka was adorable and I wanted to be her friend. I wanted to have the opportunity to walk around the town and meet all the people, and try the cookies! Tripp made me smile and Morgan intrigued me. The conflict was relatable and I really just generally wanted to find answers for her. I really just wanted to know everybody and be a part of Whispering Pines.

The Bow (Her Three Immortals, #3)The Bow by Hazel Storm
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I was once again pulled right into this series, it was another great 5 star read.
The author does a great job of pulling you in with her writing, you won’t want to put it down.

We pick up where the last book ended. In this book Vanessa goes on a mission and she has limited time to get it done. She is sent back to the Overworld to get some very special water. There is a twist when Aroz finds out she is there. Let’s just say things get very interesting.

Will Vanesa complete her mission on time?

Overall this was a great read, there are several twists and turns. I feel the more I read this series the better I am understanding the worlds and people in it. All of the characters added a great element to the story. You could potentially read this as a stand alone but I highly suggest reading from the beginning, things will make much more sense. I look forward to reading more from this author. 1-click and get started today.

Scarlet Princess (The Lochlann Feuds, #1)Scarlet Princess by Robin D. Mahle
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book absolutely blew away my expectations! It had all of my favorite elements – a ton of wit, humor, romance, a bit of magic, a strong female protagonist, everything! In fact, I enjoyed it so much that I immediately preordered the second book! If you enjoy the style of writing and characters like Max from the earlier Maximum Ride books, this is absolutely a book for you. The two main characters do an excellent job of pulling you in, and the twist at the end will leave you wanting more! I cannot recommend this book enough.

Swallowed by a Secret by Risa Nyman was a wonderfully told story. While the main characters are younger some people would consider this book a younger read, but the plot is very real to even a lot of adults. Her plot is fantastic, her settings are beautiful, and overall Ms. Nyman’s characters are wonderful. I actually read this book after reading it’s sequel and I can honestly say that I love both books equally and am looking forward to more books from Ms. Nyman.

The Boss Prince (It's Raining Royals, #1)The Boss Prince by Alix Nichols
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Alix did a fantastic job bringing these characters and this world to life. Lucie has just lost her job, her boyfriend, and her positive outlook. Max and his family were preparing for what his mother had seen; the key to the keys, the solution to their ongoing problem. A job listing is put out where Lucie will find it and the company name gave me quite a chuckle the first few times I read it. The progression of the relationship between Lucie and Max and the ongoing mystery throughout the story made for an excellent read. There is chemistry, there is drama, and there is so much more going on than what either character realizes. I loved the first portion of this series. The writing is great, the characters are easy to love (or loathe depending on who we’re discussing), and the storyline is left open for so much more as it goes on. I look forward to reading more from Alix Nichols and if you’re looking for a romantic and funny story with a bit of mystery, I highly suggest you pick this one up!

My rating: 3 of 5 stars

This story was short and sweet. I am always fond of a good age gap romance, and love when it ends HEA.
Cassie and Diego started out as advisor and student, but escalated to a couple in love. I did not read book 1, but this story picks up where it left off right away. This story follows the challenges they now experience as a couple with bitter ex-wives, the issue with the age difference, and pressures with family/friends. Cassie and Diego seem connected, but I am not sure I truly felt the love between them. It was overall a good and short read, and I enjoyed it.

No Way Out: An Arranged Marriage Mafia Romance (Mafia Elite Book 1) by Amy McKinley

She did it again, she got me hooked from the very beginning and refused to let me go until the book was done.

I read this book in the car as we drove out of town, read it while I was at a book signing (taking a much needed break from peopling) and finished it instead of watching football.

I was instantly drawn to Matteo/Max, but not sure what it was.  Yeah the bad boys are hot but it wasn’t it.  Something about him spoke to me and I couldn’t learn enough about him.

Liliana is not someone you want to mess with and we got acquainted with the reasons pretty quick.

There are twists and turns, romance and of course suspense.   I have read several books by Ms. McKinley and have yet to be disappointed.   I don’t know if I will be patient while waiting for the next book to be released.

The Bow (Her Three Immortals, #3)The Bow by Hazel Storm
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

First off I am pleased to know, and share, that this is not the last in the series. The series keeps getting better and better.

I greatly enjoyed the character growth we see in Aroz in this book. It seemed he was barely mentioned in the other books and here he’s front and center (mostly). Go figure from the name of the book, right? I also enjoyed the introduction of Beau/Bow, and how that played out.

I like how Vanessa is growing more comfortable in her own (naked) skin with the guys, as well as in who she is. Sure, she still has growing to do, but don’t all characters? I’m interested to see how the author will continue to make all new characters connect to Vanessa going forward because she seems to be the focal point of everyone we meet, in some way or another. But honestly, can we just do away with all the mothers already?

We get more sex in this book, with more multi-partner scenes as well. Gladly though, this book is not all about the sex; sure we get more statements from the guys about Vanessa making them hard even when she’s not trying to, but the heist and drop off, is the main focal point, and the drama that ensues along the way.

SPOOKED BY A SUSPICION by Risa Nyman really hit home for me. Being a girl that had a lot of family changes Ms. Nyman really got all of the details right on the nose. So many emotions in this book that if you have ever felt any of them it will instantly make you feel drawn to the book, and make it that much more realistic. Her characters are well developed, her word building skills are fantastic, and although this is book two it can be read as a stand-alone. However I will be going back to read book one and you should too.

Forever Valentine: A Sequel to Professor Valentine (Kirk University Series, Book 6) by Diana Vale is another fantastic page turner by Ms. Vale. Forever Valentine is book six in Ms. Vale’s Kirk University Series, but in my personal opinion it is the best. Ms. Vale’s characters are amazing, an amazing plot, and I personally loved the different view points. While this book gives us more of a story about Cassie and Diego but we also meet Diego’s ex wife. Will she cause problems between Cassie and Diego? You’ll have to read Forever Valentine to find out.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The Bow is book 3 in Hazel Storm’s Her Three Immortals series. I am absolutely in love with this series.
Like previously stated, this should be read in order to get the most out of the series. Personally, I would not recommend reading it as a stand alone.

Vanessa is in love with Gray and Gray loves Vanessa. Because of this love, Gray gave in on his vow of abstinence and boy did this upset Gray’s mom. Vanessa have been taken to run an errand for Gray’s mom and have locked down the underworld to prevent Gray from leaving to help Vanessa.

Vanessa does happen to run into Raef and Aroz on her errand and she was able to make use of that time with the both of them. Raef is still madly in love with Vanessa and was very happy to be able to see her and spend what little time he had with her. Aroz had other plans for her and decided to take actions of his own.
The only problem now is to try to decide is Aroz is on her side or not. Will Gray or Raef find her in time?

The Bow is book 3 in the Her Three Immortals series. Queen of the Underworld is up to no good again. (Not like that is a shock.) Vanessa, Grey, Raef, and Aroz have so much chemistry that a cold shower might be needed. I love this series and can’t wait for the next one.

Spooked by a Suspicion by Risa Nyman is the second book following Rocky after his father’s suicide. In this installment, Rocky’s mother has decided to remarry a man by the name of Ted. Rocky, however, has other plans. He doesn’t very much like Ted, and he is determined to stop the wedding. With the help of Olive, his girlfriend, Rocky dodges bad luck on his mission to keep his mother from making a huge mistake. Much like the first book, young readers will be engaged by the characters of Rocky and Olive, and all the situations they come up against. I give this book 5 stars because I was, once again, swept away and could not stop reading until I was finished. A highly enjoyable read.

Swallowed by a Secret by Risa Nyman is a wonderful story starring two fantastic characters: Olive and Rocky. When Rocky’s dad dies, he sets out on a mission to discover the truth behind his passing, and we are taken along for the ride. This book touches on subjects that are both interesting and relatable for young readers. I specifically appreciate this book because the subject of suicide is something that needs to be talked more about, especially with young people. Readers of all ages will appreciate and simply devour this book from beginning to end. I couldn’t put it down. This is the first book I’ve read by this author, and it won’t be the last. 5 stars!

This was definitely the best in the series so far! The spice was spicier, the story was more complex, and the many layers to the plot were weaved together nicely. New characters are introduced, and so many parts to the story begin to come together here. I think the romance in this third installment was also done better the rest, more passionate. There were several scenes that had me at the edge of my seat. Needless to say, I am definitely going to be picking up the next in this series!

The sequel to The Don finds the protagonist in the underworld. Unraveling the underworld was also interesting. The world building was done well and the new characters were great. There is more spice this time around (hurray!) and much more of what makes the female MC unique is uncovered. Still a few ships to route for. I am very excited to get to the next! The resolution of this book was very exciting, but its apparent there is still so much more to discover! Can’t wait to pick up the next.

This book was intriguing from the start. So much is unknown and discovered as you go making for an interesting journey and a captivating read. The MC was fairly relatable, and the ties to family were beautiful to experience. There is still so much left unanswered! There are a few different ships in this book and I’m curious which one will sail. Or even better, will they ALL sail? I NEED ANSWERS. The book felt like a prologue, just the barest tip of the iceberg, and I’m so excited to dive into the rest of this series.

Rocky, and his over active imagination once again starts to create stories in his head.

Scarlet Princess by Robin D. Mahle and Elle Madison is the first book in The Lochlann Feuds Book series. This is my first book by these authors, and I was not disappointed. Rowen is a strong and interesting princess character. I like that the story stays away from all the tropes typical in this genre. Instead, the story leads an interesting and original path. The story is a great read that I didn’t want to put down. Also, the story ends on a cliffhanger. I can’t wait to read the next book in this series.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I first met Professor Diego Valentine and his then student Cassie in ‘Professor Valentine (Kirk University Book 1)’ so I was looking forward to ‘catching up’ with them in this novella. This was a short and enjoyable read which picks up the story one year after the couple first met and fell in love. Diego and Cassie are now officially a couple but they soon learn that not everyone around them approves of them being in a relationship as Diego is Cassie’s ex-university professor. Despite plenty of complications including Diego’s drug addicted ex wife, Cassie studying to complete her psychology degree and wanting to enjoy university life, and of course the age gap between the pair, neither regret their relationship. However the pressure is effecting them and they have to choose whether their love for one another is enough to overcome the challenges or whether they are better off apart. By telling the story from both Diego and Cassie’s view point the author made the characters come alive and I felt engaged with them. I enjoyed seeing how their relationship had developed and I like how the author has written a realistic story where the couple do have ups and downs, but there is a guaranteed HEA.

Kiss Me Before Flight by Thia Finn is a brilliant story that really pulls you in. I loved reading about Callie and CC. I thought they were such interesting characters. Although I loved the romance around them I enjoyed so much more the depth that they both had. It felt like they were each their own character outside of the other and their connection just enhanced that.
The story was so well written. You are pulled straight into it and the book does not let go until the end. This is a highly enjoyable book and one I would definitely recommend.
