Gone Country (Gone in Love) by Katrina Marie – Review by Bobbi Wagner

Gone Country (Cousins Gone #1)Gone Country by Katrina Marie
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I enjoyed this romance story. This is a well written story where the author used details to not only bring the story to life on each page but also gave it a realistic feel. This is a story about a woman who has wanted a promotion for a while. She moves to a new town for this promotion only to run into some problems with things like snakes, going in a ditch and the mechanic that she never expected. What will fate have in store for these two? Will she keep her mind on her job while falling for this mechanic? I enjoyed being pulled into the story by these two. They have great chemistry as well as great growth throughout the story. They made up the story for me and they were cute together. I found this book to be fast paced and engaging. I had a hard time putting this book down. It was entertaining and fun. I highly recommend this book.

Forever Valentine: A Sequel to Professor Valentine (Kirk University Series, Book 6) by Diana Vale – Review by Bobbi Wager

Forever Valentine (Kirk University, #6)Forever Valentine by Diana Vale
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I enjoyed this romance story. I highly suggest reading the previous books in this series to help your enhancement of not only the story but the characters as well. You will see where Cassie and Diego have been compared to where they are now. This is a well written romance story that has characters that are not only relatable but also written with a lot of heart. I enjoyed being pulled into the story by the characters and their growth throughout is great. They made the story engaging and I enjoyed how they brought the story to life. In this story there are life challenges that both of these characters are in. But will fate allow them to get through to be together in the end? Their challenges are a lot of pressure but will they crack these two? I really did enjoy what they brought to the story. They made it fun and entertaining to read. I highly recommend this book.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is not my first book by this author but it is one of my favorites. This is the first book in a new series and what a great start it is. This is a well written story about Poppy whose father is in prison for killing her boyfriend. When a stranger shows up at her door, her world starts to come down. Someone is watching her but who? Will she be the one to go down with blood on her hands? I loved her character and what she brought to the story. I found this story to be fast paced and full of action. The twists and turns had me sitting on the edge of my seat just waiting to see who was lurking in the shadows. I can’t wait to see what the next book brings for Poppy. I highly recommend this book and this author.

Caine is the second book in the Men of Syn series by Anise Storm. I’ve read other books by this author and this one is definitely on my favorites list. This is a Romance book that one you start reading you won’t want to put it down until you finish I was lost in the pages and had no clue what was going on around me because I was so caught up in the story I had to know what was going to happen next.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Gone Country by Katrina Marie a delightfully charming four-star read. This could have been a five-star read, and I had high hopes for it, I am hoping that the next one will knock it over the edge. This took a while to warm up to and get into, Stella I got as I am also clumsy and have some shocking luck, but other parts left me cold. But by the end of the story, her and Johnny give you the warm and fuzzies. It has a good story, once you get to the meat of it, so I would say keep going if you start and wonder what is going on.

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

I really enjoyed this story. It was exciting and captivating from the first page to the last. I loved the romance element. How two people fall in love when they really shouldn’t. The author does an amazing job bring the characters to life. Princess Rowan is a great character. I like her because she is headstrong and very strong willed. She has a great sense of humour which comes through the pages.

Princess Rowan is a risk taker and when she takes a risk, her and her cousin end up getting captured by a rival clan. Now facing the realisation that she may lose her life she plans to enjoy the time she has left. What she doesn’t expect is to fall on love with a man from this rival clan.

Unable to deny their feelings they have some problems to cover come. Namely will this clan ever accept Rowan as one of their own or will the union between the couple start off another war between both sides  or could it finally be the things to bring the sides together and for peace?

3.5 stars

Forever Valentine: A Sequel to Prosfessor Valentine (Kirk University Book 6) by Diana Vale is a contemporary romance story. This is a very quick short story that will be over before you know it. Don’t blink. Anywho, this story explores their relationship and how others see it and the challenges that they face. From a bitter ex, their age difference, and insecurities. If they can survive this, then they can survive anything. How can you fight true love when the heart wants what the heart wants? I enjoy a story that is told in multiple POV and this one was.

A Natural PassionA Natural Passion by Tammy Mannersly
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

A Natural Passion by Tammy Mannersly is a contemporary romance story. In true Tammy style her stories are sweet and heart-warming, but they are not just hearts and flowers. Where would be the fun in that. Nope Tammy likes to throw some sort of twist to add some dimension to the story. There is some tension and angst, a bit of drama and some danger. Tammy makes it easy to be transported into the story she has created and enjoy the journey and lives of these lovable characters. I love a good romance story and that is something Tammy does well.

A new intern, a cute crush and a man who tries to hide his true feelings. When the job they love is threatened. The team set out to make sure they can’t get any more. Unfortunately, things they thought they knew are now under question.

Grab a copy you will enjoy.

Unsettled Scores (DAG Team #2)Unsettled Scores by Kel O’Connor
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Unsettled Scores is book two in the DAG Team series by Kel O’Connor. This story was high in just about every dramatic emotion you could possibly feel while reading a book. Stunning intensity, thrilling danger, passionate liaisons are just the beginning. These characters possessed strength, courage, determination, energy and heart. This story packed all the adventure you could handle in a romantic and suspenseful story. Amy is a character that I really want to be when I grow up. She brought an enviable tenacity that was incredibly entertaining. Hugh I loved learning about. So far from a stereotype, it isn’t even funny. Over all, this story was a pleasure to read, giving never ending mystery and excitement. Every emotion in overdrive, and I could not get enough. A thrilling story by a very descriptive and talented author. 4 stars.

Drew by Amanda Shelley – Review by Charlisa Wahtomy-Alba

I’ve read so many sports romances over time and this is probably one of my favorites. It was kind of cool to see the name of a town that is near me that hardly ever gets mentioned in books. Drew and Abby had great chemistry from the very beginning whether they wanted to admit it or not. For two people who could do without distractions they sure distracted each other quite a bit, lol. If the other book(s) in this series are anything like this one count me in to read them all!

Wow! This story grabbed me from the beginning. It also really hit home for me. The realness and raw emotion in this book is amazing. I can’t tell tell you how many times I clasped my hand over my mouth and cried while reading this book. The love and thoughts that go through Tara’s mind are very relatable and so real. Reading about Branson gives such an understanding about mental illness that most people never see. I so recommend this book! I cannot wait to read the next one and will devour all books by this author!

Raven Woman’s Tavern by Laura Koerber – Review by Tia Martel

Raven Woman's TavernRaven Woman’s Tavern by Laura Koerber
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Raven Woman’s Tavern spins a tale of shapeshifters, outcasts, corruption, and more.

Raven Woman’s Tavern was a delight to experience. From the beginning when we hear about Warrentown through the eyes of the Raven to the story lines of Rachel, Valerie, Baylor and the others, this story is told in a way that is beautiful and enchanting. While reading most of it, I could imagine sitting around a campfire or in large room listening to a tale of how the world came to be. It’s a quick, interesting read but leaves me wishing for a little more to the story. I wish to hear more about the birth of Warrentown and how the Raven pictures the world’s growth. This book feels more like the start of an in-depth novel or series and I really hope to see more about this world of shapeshifters, Rainier, and Warrentown.

As you read, it brings a lot of thoughts to mind about what you’d do if in different situations, many of which may feel a tad too close to home in some parts of the world. How willing are you to break the law to make the world a better place? How far are you willing to go to protect the ones you care about from a justice system that’s corrupt? Raven Woman’s Tavern takes a look inside the minds of Warrentown’s remaining citizens and the lengths they’re willing to go to survive. I definitely think you should take a chance on this story and then beg for more!

Ready for more from Laura Koerber!

Stella is trying to get a promotion at her job after working very hard for countless years. Johnny is the country hottie she meets during her newest adventure of temporary relocation. This is book 1 in the Cousins Gone series and I will most definitely be reading the other books in the series.

Amy Stuart is guilt-riddled after the death of her beloved sister Audrey. The rift her sister’s death caused has left Amy estranged from her niece. Amy is on the continual hunt for the scumbag who abducted her and her sister, the catalyst for her sister’s death. Some intel has led Amy back to Atlanta where everything happened and where her niece resides. Can this trip get Amy the answers she is looking for? Can it lead to a reunion with her niece?

Hugh Bainbridge IV reached out to the private investigation company DAG for assistance when drugs were found in the shipment of shoes meant to help. Hugh volunteers his legal services to the non-profit that sends shoes to those in need. Hugh didn’t know that it would bring Amy to his doorstep. Faced with a possible budding relationship and slaying the demons of the past, Hugh finds a way to be the man Amy needs. Given Amy’s job, is Hugh a permanent or temporary solution for her?

Kel O’Connor continues the outstanding story of DAG’s team members! Kel delivers the heat and the twists that keep you glued to your book. There are still unanswered questions. Did The Duke give up the information to make amends for what Ajax did? Who is the mole? There is enough suspension for another book!!

Caught by him was a good quick little read. I liked most of the characters and can’t help but laugh at the way Willa and Brody met. Brody thought she was an intruder and she was just house sitting next door for her grandfather. These two were definitely attracted to eachother from their very first meeting. They seem to hit it off until people try to band together to keep them apart. Will they be successful or will Brody and Willa be able to form a relationship.
I thought the book was well written and look forward to more books by this author.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is book 2 in the Men of Syn series. Caine is wanted for murder. He runs to his longtime best friend Hawke. Caine needs to find enough evidence to clear his name or make enough money to leave the country. He starts working in Hawke’s members only BDSM club to make some quick cash. What he doesn’t anticipate is the princess that crosses his path. Emery is used to the best of everything, until her father is arrested and all his assets are seized, which includes everything Emery owns except for her car and a couple suitcases of clothes. The first contact between Emery and Caine there is heat.
I love the intensity between Emery and Caine. She can feel his eyes on her even when she can’t lay eyes on him. Even though Caine is a dominant, Emery can’t help but let her bratty side show, even when she knows there will be repercussions. Will the secrets they are hiding from each other be too much for them to overcome or will the feelings they have for each other win? I can’t get enough of the Men of Syn.

Her father uses her to stay in power. She is essentially trapped until he decides to marry her off and then she will be trapped there too. She has a plan to get out but then again, so does Max.

In disbelief that someone would be breaking into his equally famous neighbor’s house, he goes over to stop the intruder only to find a beautiful woman. Willa Stone, the granddaughter of movie producer Murray Stone, was no threat, just here to housesit. Even with the misunderstanding Brody and Willa have instant chemistry. It’s not all easy sailing for the happy couple but this author will have you at the edge of your seat waiting for what happens next. This fast pace, quick read is a pleasant read.

Romancing the Tropics (A Tropical Cocktail Romance Boxset) by L.M. Mountford was definitely an interesting romance read for me. While this box set is very short Mr. Mountford knows how to pack the pages with lots of steamy romance. I don’t normally read romances with this much steam, but I found myself incapable of putting Romancing the Tropics (A Tropical Cocktail Romance Boxset) by L.M. Mountford down until I finished it in just a couple of hours. His word building was fantastic and the the short stories flows without flaw.

‘No Way Out’ by Amy McKinley is the perfect balance of adult romantic heat and action-packed Mafia suspense. McKinley did an excellent job creating characters that were exciting, unique, and easy to sympathize with. I loved how the relationship between Max and Liliana develops, and how they build trust in each other to overcome some very dangerous challenges. I will also add that the ‘adult’ scenes are very well written. If you enjoy or have been wanting to try out the romantic suspense genre, this book is perfect.

Return to Alpha by Wesley Britton was a very interesting read for me, while I don’t usually read sci-fi I thought I would give this one a shot. Upon starting the book the story was interesting, and the chapters short enough that I was able to read it relatively quickly. I must admit even thought this is the sixth book in the series, it is the first that I have read but you can read the detailed story as a stand alone. But personally I find myself wanting to read the rest to see how the story got the great place it is in this installment. Mr. Britton puts his great word-building skills to use to give us very vivid details for not wonky his story but also his wonderful characters. So if you love sci-fi then I definitely recommend Return to Alpha as your next weekend read.

Caught by Him by Tammy Mannersly was a fantastic short read. While this book is only seventy pages long Ms. Mannersly really knows how to draw her readers in fast. I was immediately drawn to this book by its blurb and the cover alone but I was hooked after the first few pages. Ms. Mannersly really knows how to hook her romance readers by giving us a dashing male lead, a beautiful and brilliant female lead, and just enough heat to make you continue to flip the pages. I was so enthralled in this short read that I read it in just a little over an hour. So if your looking for a great short romance to read this weekend then I highly recommend Caught by Him by Tammy Mannersly.

Return to Alpha: A new saga begins is a sci/fi adventure and Author Wesley Britton is a new author to me. I really enjoyed this book and it was nice to start out with the characters names and getting to kn ow who they are. Parts of the story remind me of current times. Disease and global warming are taking over and destroying earth. When a group of aliens arrive in Jamaica, there is not a warm welcome at first. Then the story has an dystopian feel with adventure and even in a little romance.

Caught by Him by Tammy Mannersly is a fast and very cute read! I sat down to read it and did not stop until I was done. Brody is an actor who is taking a break from his work, and Willa is taking care of her grandfather’s house – right next to Brody’s. When he catches her “breaking in” to the house, they meet and are instantly attracted. While they deal with an assistant and an ex, it is not hard to become enthralled in the story and wrapped up with these two great characters. This is my first read from this author, and I believe I found another great one to add to my list! 4 stars.

This was an amazing book! A lot of times Mafia books feel like the “love” between characters is only primal desire or really seems like it was forced *not sexually*. But Amy McKinley doesn’t force anything to happen. She lets us and Max and Lil get to know each other.

No Way Out set the bar really high for the rest of this series. Following Max who knows family and has morals showing Lil small snippets of his life like the pizza, gives her a sense of what she could eventually have. Of course him keeping her safe is a given, but oh man, McKinley loves to give us scares! It is a wonderful book!

Raven Woman's TavernRaven Woman’s Tavern by Laura Koerber
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Raven Woman’s Tavern by Laura Koerber was very weird in a good way. Whenever you pick up a book you think you know what you are getting into, but this book takes turns and twists that I would never ever have thought about. As I abstain from most politics, it didn’t occur to me until farther in that many of the aspects of this book were incredibly introspective about American Politics. It gives a sense of how truly bad the world is and can get.

Following each story of the people of Warrentown and the militia members gets you more and more invested in their lives. The craziness they brought and that they get into changes perspective, especially following the older generation throughout the book. The personalities of the town aren’t completely clear all the time, and some of them feel like they mix together. But Koerber brings a really unique experience with this book! It is a must read!!
