Mistaken Identity (London Detective Agency Series) by Stephanie R. Caffrey – Review by Jessie Hopkins

This book starts with a slam (quite literally) & just keeps going. From the beginning I was intrigued and never really knew what was going to happen next. There’s everything from mystery to thriller to romance and comedy. It covers all the basis.
Evelyn is a wonderful character, I truly enjoyed her and understood the wide variety of feelings that she has from when she feels scared and uneasy, exasperated and impatient and when she starts to feel safe. Patrick was great and when you got to know more about his backstory many things started to make more sense. Them together is a mix of fun banter and cute interactions of two people just getting to know one another but obviously attracted to one another.
I am eager to read the next one!

I enjoy a well written historical romance, and this is one in which the author has done an amazing job. I wasn’t sure I would connect with the age-gap romance but it felt so effortless. I was pulled into the book immediately and engaged with the characters straight away. I loved their instant connection and how it evolved as the book went on.
The story matched the characters perfectly as well. It is the kind of book that I couldn’t put down because I wanted to see what would happen next. This is the first book that I have read by this author and I am definitely impressed with what I have seen so far. I am looking forward to reading the next book.

The Changed Man Audio Book (The Olympic Peninsula Series, Book 4) by Cat Treadgold – Review by Lorralei Hoerner

5 Stars. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The Changed Man is Book 4 of the Olympic Peninsula Series and I have enjoyed every book so far in this series but this is my favorite (so far 😊). I highly recommend listening to this series in order as you get to know the characters and I loved this story getting to know Jake in this book. This author gives me all the feels of romance, family drama, angst and definite roller coaster of emotions in this story.

Jake O’Connell is back in town…attending his brother’s upcoming wedding. When Jake resigns from his company…and being in town…things can seem tense. With a new career on the horizon as a writer… Jake also fights with the emotions of losing a friend and also charming the likes of Chlara….

Definitely give this a listen to find out what happens … and I love that the author narrates her own book.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Before I Let You Go by Kellie Wallace was such an interesting little read. Truly full to the brim with so many different emotions that its hard to truly put specific labels on them. As well as many entertaining twists and turns, that it was hard to predict what was coming next, let alone from which direction. Esbeths story is truly empowering, and her character was so relatable I found myself completely immersed in her narrative. I definitely recommend this book, and hope to see more from Kellie soon!

Finders Keepers, Cowboy (Match Made in Montana Series) by Rachelle Paige Campbell – Review by Jenni Bishop

Finders Keepers, Cowboy (Match Made in Montana #1)Finders Keepers, Cowboy by Rachelle Paige Campbell
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Rachelle Paige Campbell is the author of Match Made in Montana series and Finders Keepers, Cowboy is the first book in this western romance series. It is a very clean frenemies romance trope set in a small town with small town characters.
I am a bit all over the place with this one just as much as the contradictory nature of the characters themselves at times. It made it hard for me to gel with them. One minute they are enemies and the next minute they love each other. Although Colby is a special character as is Hank, they definitely made the story.
What is it about her that makes him dislike her so especially when the town adore her.
I really wanted to like this story and the premise is good it just didn’t make the mark for me but don’t let my opinion stop you from reading it because you may just love it.

So good! Couldn’t put it down!! So much emotion and excitement ! Done in less than 24 hours, and looking at the rest of the series soon.
This book actually had me laugh out loud, cry real tears and legit rooting for Evelyn & Patrick to live and happily ever after! I was also guilty by the end of reading the men’s voices with Brit accents and giggling about it to myself. Definitely highly recommend !!

Sugar & Spice by Phoebe Alexander – Review by Stephanie Tellas

“Temptation never looked so sweet.
CY: I’ve been sent into Sweetopia, the amusement park my family owns, as an undercover boss. My mission is to identify the rebel employees who are organizing a strike against our company. I don’t expect the prime suspect to be the beautiful woman who portrays the park’s most popular character: The Red Velvet Queen. I can’t fall in love with her. And if she finds out I’m heir to the Sweetopia fortune?
I’ll lose everything.
JOLIE:
I’m a single mom working two jobs to make ends meet while I try to care for my two young sons, one of whom has cystic fibrosis. My life is all doom and gloom until a dashing coworker begins visiting me in my dressing room. Between that pleasant distraction and the steps we’re taking to hold our bosses accountable…life may finally be looking up. But I can’t fall in love with him. And if he finds out who I really am under this wig and fake crown? He’ll leave me, just like everyone else in my life has done.
What will happen when Cy and Jolie’s true identities are finally unmasked?”
Absolutely loved reading this book, great story line, a little steamy in parts, loved the characters, first time reading this author, would love to read more of their works. I give this book 4 stars.

No Rest for the Wicked (Life is Hell Series) by Naomi Valkyrie – Review by Rose McCaskey

No Rest for the Wicked (Life is Hell #1)No Rest for the Wicked by Naomi Valkyrie
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is the second series I have started by Naomi Valkyrie. I love her writing style. Her booms are short but are great stories. No Rest For the Wicked follows Delilah, a demon who sold her soul as a human. She is looking for peace and normalcy and not just hurting and killing when she leaves the city for a small town called Juniper Lake. She may have thought a small town would fill what she was looking for but she finds more than she bargained for.

It is a fast read but worth it. I recommend checking out Naomi Valkyrie’s books. You won’t be disappointed.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

A whole lotta heat!!! My goodness! I love my smut, so I’m not complaining! If you’re the type who likes the smut more than story, this is 100% the book for you!!! There was a little bit of this and that. A lot of “forbidden” love, which is one of my favourite tropes, so I was all over it!! Much longer than I expected also! Not a quick read that I was expecting.
One down fall (that I didn’t even realize until reading) I clearly like the story and character development more than I thought because as much as I loved this book, I missed rooting for characters or couples. Only thing I disliked but as a whole, amazing!!!

Managing Mischief (Shattered Embrace #2)Managing Mischief by Alyndra Quinn
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is the second book of Ashton and Zach. This book did not disappoint. I will start off by saying that you really need to read the first book to fully comprehend what is happening but if you didn’t, you would be able to understand everything that is going on. It just might take a little while to piece things together. This book is not short of steam and passion. It will have you blushing while reading this. It was a very quick read and even though I felt that it could go on forever, it packs a big punch for the storyline in a short amount of time. You will be turning pages as quickly as possible to see what happens next. There is the element of surprise with this book when the past comes lurking forward. There isn’t as many scenes in this book as I thought there would be with it being somewhat centered around a BDSM club. The said, it doesn’t mean that the steam between the characters isn’t there. This is the continuation of their relationship and them learning to really trust each other. They already have trust inside the club but they now need to really trust each other on the outside. This is such a good read and it won’t take you long at all. Again, I suggest that you read the first one because it is a continuation of the characters but you can pick it up quickly if you didn’t. Also, if you didn’t and read this one first, go back and read the first book in this series, it will help fill some gaps that you might experience.

One of the kids, Timmy, has to take care of a dog to help out a lady who is injured. Along the way, you’ll discover a lot of really cool things about Cody, the dog. This is a really great book for kids starting out reading chapter books. It is very easy to read and follow along with. I also enjoyed it as an adult.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

While this series can be read as a stand-alone I would recommend you start at the beginning for a more full rounded read and that is my no fault of the author but a personal choice ❣️📚

Isabella is a brave and honourable girl she made a promise to her dad and she’s going to fulfil it and it’s not going to be an easy task as she’s a wanted woman …..but she knows she can rely on Tom to help

Tom and Isabella share some history so I can just imagine how he felt when she reaches out to him out the blue and it’s not a small thing she’s needing him for either

So Isabella and Tom head “ hone” hopefully without being detected but as luck would have it they’re spotted by an d friend it is he for !?

When Isabella and Tom are separated the real action and suspense starts and there were some moments I was on the edge of my seat , holding my breath …

Those are in here and more. Yes the page count is high at over 700, but don’t let that scare you off! Each story has well rounded characters and descriptive enough that you feel like these short chapters are a whole story. Lastly, be prepared to have an answer as to why a book is making you blush.

A girl, stuck (Found Family series), this book is such a fun ride! This book takes you on a roller coaster of events, that will have you cheering Harry, the protagonist on. She is smart, funny, sarcastic and stubborn to a fault, all characteristics that I can relate too. The characters around her are varied and interesting in their own right. Harry is a daughter of a lawman, who when tailing an up and coming mobster, sees him as more than what he does, this is just the beginning of a wild ride that keeps you on the edge of your seat and turning the pages. This fun and lively book is a must read.

L.M. Mountford is a new author to me and I picked this book based on its cover. They say you can’t judge a book by the cover, and you know what? The cover was truly just a TEASE compared to the stories in this book…. You have so many things…menage, enemies-to-lovers, best friend’s dad, age gap, bad boys, sons’ best friend, and so much more. These stories are well written with a cast of diverse characters put in situations that have them testing their strength and will power. The world building and plot for each story is precise and is written specifically with the characters in mind, within which each character is put through a journey of self-discovery as they uncover hidden desires and explore their own sexuality. The only “negative” thing I could really find to say is that the stories were short, so you didn’t get to KNOW the characters like you would in a regular novel. And that’s not really a negative thing. Honestly if you’re looking for quick ready with A LOT of yummy content… You will LOVE this compilation.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This novel is the first one I’ve read in this series. At first, I didn’t realize that this selection was in the middle of the series until I started reading it. I was a bit confused at first but was able to piece the missing parts that helped me better understand the flow of the storyline. Harriet or Harry, a P.I. as well as a professor, delves into a case to distract her from her personal life. She ends up bumping into the culprit in which she is tracking, Trey Popov, with a dark family past. Attraction builds coincidentally and Harriet uses it to her advantage to get closer to Trey. I really enjoy learning more about Harriet’s character and how determined she can be. Just as many great suspenseful romance thrillers, this story has twists and turns and keeps its readers’ on its toes. I look forward to reading the previous two and more to come.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This isn’t my first book by this author, so I knew once I started that it would be incredibly difficult to pull myself away. This is a collection of short yet deliciously spicy romances that won’t leave you disappointed. It can seem like a lot at nearly 800 pages, but the length of each individual story is perfect for fitting in your busy afternoon. They can feel a little short, but the author does not sacrifice the plot whatsoever. I would love to see them evolve into full size books, but this will hold me over for now! Somehow even though the stories are shorter, the flow is still perfect. It doesn’t seem to have any that end abruptly or make me wonder what’s going on with omitted details. There’s something here for everyone, especially steam, so do yourself a favor and start getting lost in this tantalizing collection!

This was an absolutely incredible book that took me by surprise! I didn’t know what I was getting into because by the cover you may think it would be a leisurely read. You would be wrong! The synopsis let me know that I was in for a thrilling, mafia-filled ride. Although I read it before realizing it was part of a series, I think it does pretty well as a standalone. I will definitely be picking up the other books just because this author has captured my attention! I loved that the characters are well thought out and feel very relatable. The flow of the story kept me engrossed from page one to the end all in one day. If you’re looking for a romantic suspense novel that will keep you entertained, look no further!

I have never heard of “The Lord of Lust” before but when I had the opportunity to pick up this book it definitely sounded intriguing. Give Us Bad Boys and Billionaires is a large tome that includes a little bit of everything, literally, it’s a combination of novellas, and even some novel sized stories, and they cover topics anywhere from Alphas, best friends dad, bossholes, Bad Boys, Bullies, Saviors, and independent Alpha women. You might want to check your triggers before diving into this, as the spicy scenes vary greatly. I can say that while the smut is high there isn’t much plot. It is literally just that but at the same time I can see this being a guilty pleasure read that includes a little bit of everything.

Give Us Bad Boys and Billionaires is a collection of twelve short erotica romance stories and novellas that are full of passion, romance, and desire. The collection includes a wide range of topics including second chance romance, age gap romance, friends to lovers, forbidden romance, best friend’s dad, bad boys, menage, and paranormal. The author does not hold back in these sexy stories that will surely have you jumping straight into a cold shower afterwards. I loved the story “Under My BFF’s Daddy” which features Cassandra who has just suffered from a horrible breakup. Her best friend Stacey takes her to her dad’s villa in the hopes of forgetting about the breakup. Stacey’s dad is there and finds himself attracted to Cassandra even though he knows it is wrong. Before long the chemistry and passion sizzles between them and the attraction becomes undeniable. In the story “Falling For My Son’s Best Friend” Elizabeth finds herself married to a man who is unloving and is always away from home for work. She decides to go visit her friend, who is the mom to her son’s best friend, Hugh. Elizabeth finds herself attracted to Hugh when she sees him for the mature young man that he has turned into. The chemistry sizzles between Elizabeth and Hugh and she must decide whether to succumb to the temptation and her desires. The stories are well written with a cast of diverse characters put in situations that have them testing their strength and will power. Each character is put through a journey of self-discovery as they uncover hidden desires and explore their own sexuality.
