What an enjoyable book and Author Jae Dawson does it again! Rose is an owner of a flower shop and a total romantic. She is a Secret Valentine to bring couples together, but not successful to find her own happiness. Liam, a surgeon, returns to Hartwood Falls, after a surgery goes wrong, but ends up face to face with Rose. They both realize they still have a deep friendship that picks up years later. There are ups and downs, secrets, learning to forgive and love in store for Liam and Rose. Overall great story and highly recommended.
Snowflakes and Holly is part of Jae Dawson’s Hartwood Holiday Romance series, but can be read as a stand alone book. Some of the characters overlap, but each book is it’s own story. I really loved this book- the characters, the setting, the meaning behind it… The book focuses on Holly and Blake, and both characters are so well written. Holly is a physical therapist, who is still mourning the loss of her father, 5 years later. She has a hard time with anything relating to memories of him, and has been stuck in the funk for years despite her family and friend’s best efforts. Until Blake comes along- and he somehow accomplishes more in just a few weeks than others have in years. Blake is a professional Olympian athlete, recovering from multiple injuries. Fate seems to bring them together, and opposites seem to attract. Holly is sarcastic and dark humored, where as Blake is very upbeat and silly. I highly recommend this book- it will give you all the feels. Sad, happy, funny, romantic… Can’t wait for the next book to release later this year.

Holly Maryn is a physical therapist in Hartwood Falls, she enjoys spending time with her girlfriends, but hates anything to do with the holiday season, especially Christmas and this year is no exception, she is planning on delving into her work, avoiding anything Christmas related and watching movies which are full of interesting ways to kill off the main characters, she always plays it safe in life and has stopped taking risks ever since her father passed away in a tragic mountaineering accident and it has scarred her emotionally ever since. Blake Bellows is a former Olympic gold medallist who lost his leg due to bone cancer and has spent the last few years recovering from it and a car accident which injured his back, he has found friendship and a reason to keep going in Hartwood Falls, using his knowledge to train others, but he still has to have regular rehab to keep his recovery going the right way, however, he is also still extremely competitive and cannot let his dream of being back in peak condition and participating in sports again go.
As Holly is going back onto the slopes for the first time in years for her friends birthday, she is filled with anxiety and trepidation, but she cannot let her best friend down, so she takes a deep breath and starts slowly skiing down the mountain and is beginning to enjoy it, meanwhile Blake and his best friend are racing down a medium level slope on their snowboards when a young kid suddenly appears in front of him, he swerves to miss the kid, but unfortunately he doesn’t miss the woman he crashes into and this woman just happens to be Holly. After they tumble down the remaining run off of the slope, they are a mess of arms, legs and equipment as their friends race over to check that they are ok. As Holly is berating Blake for his disastrous form, she is also assessing the way he is moving and suggesting that he should see someone about the injuries he may have sustained, this puts Blake’s hackles up and he just retorts back that he knows his own body and knows when he is injured, it is something he has heard too often to count, so the groups head their separate ways, with the girls talking about the hotness levels of the guys and the guys discussing putting crisps in sandwiches and Holly’s attitude.
A couple of days later and Holly is heading into the office and getting ready to see the patients of the practice’s co-owner who has gone on maternity leave, however, as soon as she realises who the first patient of the day is, she is less than impressed and starts the appointment as she means to go on, at the same time, Blake is wondering who his stand in therapist is going to be and is frustrated to find that it is Holly, the woman he crashed into, but after a frank discussion, he decides that maybe she is his best chance for keeping his rehab on track, albeit grudgingly, as they go through the intricacies of the session, neither of them can deny that there is an attraction there, but they both are annoyed by each other, so they ignore that and carry on as patient and therapist. After the session, they run into each other again thanks to friends errands, but things aren’t as smooth as they both hope, but neither can deny the attraction there this time, but will they keep running into each other outside of the appointments, or will their fears around getting involved with someone new hold them back? This is a romance novel with a side of comedy which will keep you laughing and singing Christmas songs as you read through while discovering the journey within it.

A very interesting book that provides some action with secrets involved. Who doesn’t love a little sister that somehow gets her drama right in the middle of your love life? The book followed a very smooth story line. There were two other storylines that seemed to be happening that I would have liked to see more on where they went. Secrets, books and librarians, you do have my attention.

Chatroom With a View by Glenn Maynard is a thriller that I really enjoyed reading. The book begins with a bang and a fast turn and kept my attention throughout. The main character Troy Cullen has been abused by his father his whole life and has stuck around after high school living at home to protect his mom. Working at a local diner he feels he has not gone anywhere in life in his small hometown, especially when it comes to girls. When his ex-girlfriend whom he met in a chat room drops a bomb his life becomes even more complicated and he seeks revenge on other women from the chatroom he met his ex in. The story starts strong with good character building and continues with lots of twists and turns. I really enjoyed it and highly recommend it to anyone who really enjoys thrillers.

I enjoyed this fall seasonal book in a small town feel. Bella, a teacher, is trying to save the arts program at the school. Cade, a indie rock star, ends up having to do community services and meets Bella. I love Bella and Cade’s chemistry and the story behind each character. I have to say, Bella’s mom made me laugh on a few occasions, being Italian and “saucy”. Both Bella and Cade have some walls to protect themselves from being hurt, will their spark blossom to romance? Read this book and find out, I highly recommend this contemporary romance!

This is a very fun little romantic comedy that I devoured in one sitting. The plot was good, and brought lots of opportunity for magic, tricks, and adventure. Hermes is a great character, with just as much good looks, intelligence, and hubris as you’d expect of a God of Olympus (or Seattle). Kat is equally impressive, a trained cat burglar, and more courageous than her messenger compatriots. Their romance blossomed over treachery and practical jokes, which was good fun for the reader. The story was entertaining and easy to read. A great comfort read.
Jessica wants to take a step back from the stress of her job at the family resort. So she moves to the sleepy small town where her cousin Alex has moved. There she buys a turn-of-the-century home that she wants to renovate and make into a bed and breakfast. Her friend, Will, is helping her design a website for the bed and breakfast while he is in town keeping his sister’s kids.
The only problem for Will is that he finds Jessica extremely attractive. He thinks about building a relationship with Jessica, but with his sister in rehab after another bought with drugs, Will is unsure of what his future holds. Then Will gets a strange phone call from a man wanting $10,000 that his sister owes. The caller then starts leaving messages on his door with pictures of him, the children, and Jessica.
Through association, Jessica becomes involved in Will’s problem. With the help of friends and family, they think they have the problem solved. Unfortunately, the caller has other plans. Can they solve the situation before anyone gets badly hurt?

Charlotte Maxwell was well known in the Denver social scene, partially because of who her parents were and partially because she had been making a name for herself as an event planner. Charlotte’s latest client is hauntingly familiar, but unknown.
Nathaniel “Hawke” Hawkins is opening a new exclusive club in Denver. He randomly picks Charlotte’s company off a list that a friend had given him, but when he realizes who she is, he wishes he had picked differently. The connection is undeniable. Hawke is unwilling to allow Charlotte in his life because he doesn’t believe she will be able to handle his demons. Charlotte has lived a life of privilege and beauty. Hawke’s life has been anything but.
Charlotte’s attraction to Hawke puts her directly into the view of the latest deviant stalking women in Denver. Can Hawke save Charlotte before she becomes the latest victim? Will she save him from his demons in the process?
Anise Storm collides Hawke’s tortured soul with Charlotte’s love. The push and pull between these two characters builds until it seems they might be torn apart forever by something they never expected. I would have enjoyed more background on the stalker and think that this character could have been developed more. The stalker’s identity kept me guessing until the reveal. Looking forward to Caine!
Trigger warning: This story contains depictions of child abuse and BDSM scenes. May not be suitable for all audiences.

Boy On Hold is my first read by JD Spero and it did not disappoint. Marcella Trout is a single mom raising a young boy, Henry, and a 17 year old, Tyler. Henry witnesses something that no 6 to 7 year old should have to witness, a murder. As the story unfolds to who killed the neighbor, we learn about secrets among family, the power of forgiveness and what is the truth. You will also get into the mind of someone who is struggling with a mental illness. This story definitely held my interest and made me emotional at times. I look forward to reading Boy Released.

Avenging Angel, Part 1 was a fast-paced, action-packed book. The author did not disappoint with Part 2. Right from the start, you jumped right into Niran and Saffie being taken by the Crazy Wolves. Every second is full of action as all the MC clubs from Colorado to Nevada come together to help rescue Niran and his lady. Loyalty and brotherhood are such a large part of these clubs. Duke was such a devious and decietful jerk. Many secrets are uncovered and unburied. Many moments were spent by me holding my breath as the club was trying to rescue these two. The characters are still as exciting as ever. The plotline rolls smooth even with 3 other storylines going at the same time. I know have a favorite MC author. If you can handle dark topics and a good read, I highly recommend.

Another successful novel by Carrie Pulkinen. I really enjoyed the story of Hermes and Kat. It was a story full of action, laughs, and romance. Although Kat and Hermes had some obstacles to overcome, their love for each other allowed them to succeed and their happy ever after was achieved. I look forward to reading more from Carrie Pulkinen.

OMG!! That is all I can say. I was not let down at all. This is the second part of the story and boy did the author do good. I was on the edge of my seat wanting to see how this all would end.
I could feel Saffie’s pain and heartbreak when she felt she was betrayed by Niran. I really love how the author is able to bring just the right amount of drama into the story and keep the reader on the edge of their seat. I just lost myself in this story and cannot wait to read more from this author.

Dark Bastard (Dark Sparrow Novel Book 5) by India Kells
4 out of 5
Once again India Kells takes you on a heart-pounding ride with these bastard brothers. The action and steam could light-up a small town. I was hooked from the first page and held on with both hands until the last. I can’t wait until the final chapter in this series!
Sam Sarkhan had his tribe until he was ripped away from everything he knew and loved by Jamieson Finch, the man that fathered him. Sam escaped him, once. Sam had found another family in the men that all carried the same paternal lineage, but none of the scars. Sam’s couldn’t battle the demons anymore. On New Year’s Eve, Sam decided he had fought long enough. Sam calls his oldest brother to say goodbye, but gets a woman’s voice instead.
Ellie McLaren answered Sam’s call. She had been on the verge of making the same decision that led Sam to place the call. After hearing Sam’s voice, Ellie decided that she still had things for which she wanted to live. Sam hoped to find a way to make things better for Ellie but instead dragged her into his world and his fight with Finch. Now keeping Ellie safe is all that matters to Sam, even when that means walking back into his nightmare. Can Sam escape Finch a second time? Will Ellie’s need to save Sam be enough to actually do it? Will Finch finally find the justice he deserves?
The story will have you hanging on the end of your chair to find the answers to those questions and so much more. Another amazing chapter in this series!

This was my first book by Carrie Pulkinen and omg what took me so long. If you love Greek mythology and crazy twists, this is the book for you. It had me on the edge of my seat the entire time. Hermes the god of thievery has his own caduceus stolen by someone he felt he was falling for. Was it all a set up? Was Kat really working for Pan or was Pan getting over on both Hermes and Kat? Great story and great writing by an amazing author!
This lovely small town sweet Christmas romance really put me in the festive spirit even though it’s only July and the UK is experiencing a heatwave. I loved being back in Hartwood and as usual the small town setting was bought to life by the author. I’ve enjoyed the previous novels in this series so was looking forward to this one and was not disappointed, each novel is a standalone story. This is a heartwarming romance between a former Olympic gold medalist snowboarder Blake and physical therapist Holly.
Blake Bellows always lived life on the edge until he suffered from a degenerative bone disease and lost his left leg and his career. However, he is determined to get back into the top level of the athletic world and so is working with a physiotherapist, who happens to be Holly. Since her father died in a mountaineering accident Holly Maryn plays it safe and is looking forward to another Christmas season working and being with friends, until she meets Blake and wants to help him recover. As the couple spend time together they find they have more in common than they first thought and as they overcome their fears together love blossoms.
There couldn’t be a better setting to fall in love in than the twinkling mistletoe-clad winter wonderland that is Hartwood and I felt completely immersed in this story as I could picture the setting. Holly and Blake are wonderfully relatable characters and I loved how the book was written from both their point of views, enabling the reader to get to know them both better and feel engaged with them. I thought how their relationship developed was realistic and the chemistry between them came across in the narrative and led to steamy scenes. An enjoyable Christmas romance which I recommend and I look forward to re-reading it in December.

I have read a few of this author’s books and once again I was not let down. I really like how the author brings a light hearted flow to the story. I was just not wanting to put this book down.
I love her paranormal settings for the books and unique style. The characters really come right off of the pages and right into one’s imagination.

Houses of deception is the 6th book in the Madeline Dawkins series by Cynthia Hamilton, and this series never disappoints. From the very beginning of the book when Maddie and Mike attend a very swanky party of one of their clients, you know it is going to be juicy. Followed up by the reemergence of their old reluctant tutor to investigate the disappearance of his nephew, you know things are never as straight forward as they first seem. This book is really enjoyable, has lots of twists in the tail that are totally unexpected and overall is a really good read. I have read all of the books in this series so far and just enjoy them more and more each time.

I adore Christmas romances, and this is no exception. It’s so flipping lovely and warmed my heart. Again, Dawson’s writing is amazing, and the characters are likable having a realistic feel to them. Holly is a physical therapist who is careful with everything in her life especially since a tragic accident took the life of her father. Blake is an interesting character, a former athlete who lost his leg to degenerative bone disease, he has refused to let that stop him and tries ever harder to get back to his former athletic glory. But an accident has him all tangled up with Holly he struggles to get away from her and her honesty. Honestly, I loved this, it warmed my heart. A story about giving love another chance and showing that sometimes taking risks is worth it, even if the risk is opening your heart and letting someone love you. Really recommend.
Like all the other books in this series, I thoroughly enjoyed this read. Simons does not disappoint, and I honestly feel like her writing has only improved with each installment. We are dropped back with Cam and Freyja enjoying a happy life back on Lewis, finding peace and happiness with the isolated community. But this peace is not to last when news from old acquaintances, sends them from the confines of Lewis and in search of the truth as to why they were chosen and the secrets behind the community they call home. Such an awesome series, highly recommend this.

Houses Of Deception is book number six in the Madeline Dawkins series by Cynthia Hamilton. This could be read as a stand-alone, but I would recommend that this series is read in order. There is so much backstory and history that it is much more enjoyable being read as part of a series.
Madeline and Mike and back solving mysteries, this time they have some missing people to track down and, as you can imagine, it’s never quite as simple as it sounds. I feel as though I know these characters so well now, I really enjoy catching up with them. I love how much thought the author puts into these cases, I’m never quite sure how they will turn out, she really gets you thinking and keeps you on your toes. If you’re new to the Madeline Dawkins series, it’s a series of books that is well worth investing time into.

This was a really good story. It was well written and the characters were made really realistic. The author does a great job of described PTSD in our hero Nash and how that and his past experiences impact his life. Nash is a Marine veteran. He lost his eye and wears an eye patch which makes him self conscious and worried about other impressions of him. When he meet Betsy the attraction is instant between them but both are unsure and have issues they need to deal with. Nash and his PTSD and anger issues and Betsy and her family problems. Can they work their way through their problems and get together or will their issues keep pushing them apart.

Niran and Saffie are back in the exciting conclusion of Avenging Devils. I have read several of these books by Manda Mellet, and I have to say that I think this two-part book is one of the best ones yet.
Niran has gone after Saffie to hopefully stop her from leaving San Diego. In Saffie’s apartment, they wait for Kid to bring by some food. Only when he arrives, Saffie’s greatest fear comes pushing through the door with him. Duke, her abusive husband and the VP of the Crazy Wolves MC, has found Saffie and plans to bring her back. Niran must think fast, so he can protect her.
Niran convinces Duke that he wants to leave Satan’s Devils and is looking for a club like the Crazy Wolves. So Duke and his club members, take Saffie and Niran back to their clubhouse.
This is only the beginning of the torturous nightmare that Saffie and Niran have to face. Can they survive being at the Crazy Wolves MC? Will Satan’s Devils ride to his aid and stop Duke before he can take Saffie’s life? And what will this mean for Saffie and Niran when the past is behind them?

I thoroughly enjoyed this quirky, funny paranormal romantic comedy inspired by the Greek Gods. As usual Pulkinen delivers an original romance with great characters and a unique storyline in a wonderful setting. She also provides the readers with plenty of romance, some steamy scenes and laugh out loud moments, with some drama and twists along the way to keep you hooked and happily turning the pages. Hermes the God of thieves meets and falls in love with Calico shifter and ex thief Kat Gataki whilst he’s on holiday, having a trip to Mardi Gras. Kat has a plan to steal the key to the underworld so she can apologise to her deceased sister, but this means stealing the key from Hermes. “No one steals from the god of thieves” at least that’s what Hermes thought before meeting Kat who stole not only the key but also his heart. Hermes then has only twelve hours to find the love of his life or they will both be spending eternity in the underworld. This novel had me hooked from start to finish and I loved it, it was an exciting and engaging read.

I don’t normally read books about mythology – romance or not. This book, however, was fantastic. I was pulled in from the first page and was thoroughly invested all the way to the end. I didn’t want the story to be over! Hermes, the retired God of speed and thieves, met his match when he suggested using a courier service rather than be the messenger boy of the gods while on vacation. Kat is a feline shifter with a ton of grief and pain sitting on her shoulders. Her father is a burglar and her mother and sister are no longer in the picture. This book had wonderful interactions with the Gods and a love story that made my heart melt. I’m a sucker for a happy ending, especially when there’s chaos thrown in the mix. Carrie Pulkinen did a wonderful job building up these characters and telling this story. I loved the storyline, the happy ever after, and the growing hope inside of me that there is more to tell as time goes on. I look forward to reading everything else this author has to offer.
The first thing that I’m going to say about Avenging Devil Part 2 by Manda Mellett is that it is worth more than 5 stars. I’ve been a huge fan of her writing for a couple of years now and with every subsequent book she blows me even further away. Having left us this a cliffhanger in Part One I couldn’t wait to devour part two. Part two was absolutely fantastic. The drama of the very first chapter was something else. I lost count of how many times my heart was in my mouth wondering what was going to happen next. The drama flowed from that very first chapter and did not stop until the book ended. Niran and Saffie’s story is just heartbreaking and you feel that nothing will ever go right for them. This is all down to the skill of Manda Mellett’s fantastic writing skills and the amazing characters that she continues to produce. I really am in awe of how she continues to bring us these fantastic MC men and their equally fantastic women. I also loved that we continued to get Grumbler and Mary’s story. Another couple who you can’t help but love and want everything to work out well for. Manda Mellett can do no wrong in my eyes and I can’t wait to see what she has in store for the Satan’s Devils MC next.

The Forsaken: Wraith by Martin Ferguson is a book that draws you into the fantasy world written in its pages. Alena’s world is upturned at the loss of everything she was born to; her family, her home and her name. From one life into another she is raised by The Guild, but must face a trial alone to become a true member. Sent out to find her place she returns victorious as a Slayer. She is then sent out on an adventure which places her in the service of the Scared. With determination and a drive to not fail she sets out on her quest with a unique group of individuals. A journey with unexpected twists, danger, monsters, and evil. It was a page turning story that kept me wanting to know what would happen next. I could not put the book down. This is the first book of the Hidden Realms of Centuros series and I cannot wait for the next book.

Sign Steal Deliver (Gods of Thunder MC #2) by Carrie Pulkinen is such a fantastic Paranormal Romantic Comedy- with Greek Gods, shifters, magic, fantasy, humour, witches, chemistry, romance, danger, drama, and plenty of fun. I love everything Carrie Pulkinen writes, so when I saw this pop up in my notifications I squealed, grabbed myself a copy and jumped right in. And let me say, Ms. Pulkinen didn’t disappoint!! I was swept up in a really great, fun, and intriguing adventure. What do you get when you mix Greek Gods with MC, add a minxy shifter, stealing from the god of thieves magic, the Underworld, danger, spice, high stakes, and a ticking clock? Well, this book really is worth your time and money to find out. I loved Kat and Hermes- I was invested in their story right from the beginning. Carrie Pulkinen is such a master of paranormal romance. I really can’t wait to see what she does next!

Charlotte is an event planner. Hawke is opening a new club and wants the grand opening party to be spectacular. Little did they know, they had already met. He humiliated her and walked out of a scene in a BDSM club one year earlier. She had gotten under his skin then and continues to do so now. The heat between Charlotte and Hawke is intense. Charlotte’s best friend encourages her to go after what she wants. Even though Hawke seems to be able to turn her down and walk away. Can Charlotte break through his all defenses to be the light in his life? I enjoyed the emotional journey of this story, it reminds me that our lives aren’t always fantastic, but there is hope.
