Caught In Make Believe (The Caught Series Book 3) by Sharleen Scott
4 Stars!!!!

This is the third book in the series and I wasn’t disappointed. I found this author to have such a refreshing writing style. I was drawn in and hooked from page one. I just couldn’t put this book down.

The way that Jace’s past seems to always be there adds to the appeal and draw of this book. I found myself really routing for Jace and Samantha. I found that the author was able to add just enough drama and action to keep my full attention and keep me glued to the book. I also found the way that both Jace and Samantha have a past and both were really just what each other needed. I really look forward to reading more from this author in the future.

Surviving Grace: Book Five ( Surviving Series)Surviving Grace: Book Five by Virginia Wine
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is the fifth and final installment of the “Surviving Series”.  It cannot be read as a stand-alone.

First of all, the poetry in this book is exquisite. I went back and read all the poems on their own because I enjoyed them so much the first time.

This is a story of coming to terms with one’s self. Self realization and the power we have within us.

There is a bit of drama, some romance, friendship, family of choice vs family of origin and a satisfying ending to the series.

I recommend this “novella and poetry book”.

This book is just as good if not better than the previous books. One of my favorite things that an author does with a series is when we get to see what happens to characters from previous books which is what this author has done in this one. In this book we get to see Grace’s story. Grace is trying to move forward from her tragic past but what will happen when her past comes to her present? She is a strong, determined character, she is my favorite. I highly recommend this book.

An Improper Encounter (The Macalisters, #3)An Improper Encounter by Erica Taylor
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

An Improper Encounter by Erica Taylor is the third book in the Macalisters series. This book can easily be read as a stand-alone although the whole series is well worth reading.
This book has to be my favourite so far. I loved the scandal of the book, the secrets and the almost forbidden nature of it. I felt utterly drawn to these two characters and got lost in their journey so easily.
Erica Taylor has done a great job on this series so far and I cannot wait to see what else might be to come.

WTF, God?: Understanding God in the Midst of TransitionWTF, God?: Understanding God in the Midst of Transition by Michelle N. Onuorah
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

WTF, God? is an inspirational memoir by Michelle N. Onuorah. In it, she explores her experiences as a young adult and the ways in which her faith guided her through decisions and changes.
The writing style is informal and passionate. Onuorah makes frequent reference back to the Bible, with references given for follow up. The book is more or less chronological, but also structured by the key lessons she has learnt through her experiences, and wishes to convey to the reader.
The word that keeps coming to mind when I think about this book is generous. In sharing her experiences, Onuorah is offering her reader hope and guidance. The tone is positive and optimistic, even when she is talking about struggles with mental health and rejection.
I would recommend this book to anyone, particularly young adults, who are struggling to find direction in their life. Throughout the book, Onuorah focuses on her faith and how her strong relationship with God helped her to make sense of her life and accept the things which she cannot control. Reading about the setbacks and delays she experienced inspires patience and hope.
For me, this is a five star book. It’s encouraged me to think, and comforted me. I’m glad I read it!

Nothing But Trouble (Irresistible Billionaires #1)Nothing But Trouble by Ashley Bostock
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Nothing But Trouble is book one in the Irresistible Billionaires series by Ashley Bostock. I adore a good billionaire romance and I can say this author produces some of the most memorable ones. The story just flowed along, with many bumpy sections, many glorious sections, many tense sections, and endless feelings of love, even when the chips were down.

Sophia is a character I admire. She did what she had to do. She loves with her whole being, and isn’t afraid to get dirty while doing what she needs to do. She didn’t have a lot of choices, but she accepted her lot in life, got on with it, and dreamed for the future. No way did she accept that she didn’t have option. She just had to bide her time. Her heart was huge, and she just would not cave and wallow. She would rise and be who she wanted one day.

Michael was a mega rich man who had it all. Even things he didn’t want. Like shallow people trying to gain a free ride. He just wanted to find the “one”. When he was burnt too many times, he decided to take what he needed and leave the emotional stuff to others. Not his angle, anymore. When he meets Sophia, he is a little blindsided. From her looks, her manner, her gentleness, and her innocence. Funny events occurred, and before he knew it, he had a fiancee!! Getting to know these two getting to know each other was enlightening and sweet. But secrets are revealed and their foundation shaken to the core.

Nothing But Trouble was a complete and dramatic romance. It had so much, and the author delicately unveiled each snippet so achingly alluring, I was hanging off every word. So addictive. So tantalizing. Reading this story was unforgettable enjoyment. 5 stars.

It is a book that hooked me in from the very beginning and didn’t let go until I had read the final page. The story had me believing in the power of true love.

The suspense in the story had me at times turning pages to find out what was going to happen next. I was on the edge of my seat. There are other times when you felt the love and magic that surrounds Aaron and Kiley. They are two characters that you can’t help but grow to care about and hope for their happiness. I also enjoyed reading about many of the other characters and the part that they play in the story. There is such a strong feeling of family and friendship that is wonderful to read about. There are scenes that had me smiling and others that warmed my heart. Don’t miss out on reading this amazing story. I highly recommend it.

Luke is book one in the Dark Water Security series by Madison Quinn. A new and exciting author and story I could not wait to disappear into.

Luke survived a kidnapping, but bears the scars from the trauma. Living his life is a battle that he faces every day. It was heartbreaking to read his story. The emotions cut me to the core. Gripped by bravery, the struggle, the intensity that was this mesmirising character. It was a beautifully moving experience. Dark and light, this story left me emotionally spent, but utterly fulfilled. Suspense, drama, soul searching, passion, violence and happiness all bundled together to create an epic read. 5 stars.

Penny For your Thoughts by J.D. Boudreaux is a five-star read that will have you thinking. This is the first novel in the Sand Dollar series and I for one can’t wait on the next one. It was charmingly romantic but there was a real current throughout. Yes, love is amazing but it’s also hard. This story does have places that it could have been polished and it could have gone better, but it shows us the talent of the author coming through and the story was so good. Penny was a good character, you will find her story and be thrilled by it and when you add Alex to the mix it just makes it so much better. I can’t wait to see the next one as I hope the author has improved the bits that need it, I have a good feeling that the experience will only develop, and we will see some great writing from this author.

I enjoyed following the characters and loved that the author brought back Anders and Dianna from the first book. I loved Anders character and still do. I also loved Cade. He is a new father in this one and still just as loving and protective of his wife, Janet, and their son Ethan. Adding the family of royals into the mix was a different and interesting twist. It seemed to really add to the story.

The action is well done, and the chemistry just sublime if you can get over Lyla and just appreciate her place and what she has been through then you should enjoy this one.

An Improper Encounter was another wonderful read by Erica Taylor. I have really enjoyed all of the books in this series so far. The author’s attention to detail is second to none, she really makes it so easy for me as a reader to imagine what I am reading – at times it is like I am watching a period drama. I really liked the storyline for this book, it was a little different to what I have read before – I thought the characters were great. I loved the chemistry between Sarah and William! It was really believable. Sarah was a really strong female lead – I love it when this genre of story has such a strong, independent female main character. After everything she went through she seemed to come out fighting! I admire that about her.
After Sarah and William’s first encounter, I have to admit that the rest of the way through the story I was rooting for them to find their way back to each other again. This book could be read as a standalone however I would absolutely recommend reading the first two books also as they are just as good as this one.
I look forward to reading more from this author again in the future!

L.D. Rose’s Black Bullet is a paranormal/romance story. The characters are genuine, and the scenery is so detail orientated. I enjoyed the simplicity of the story. This story was a fast read as well. There were some roller coaster rides throughout the story. I was at the seat of my recliner and yelling involved but I loved the story. This story is about Jonathan and Lawan. Both characters have some personal demons that they need to work out. What makes this work even more, they both find themselves and they build each other up and make everything all right.

Luke was an amazing read! When I first read the blurb I will admit I wasn’t quite sure but the author really has written a brilliant story. There was a lot going on in the story which meant that I couldn’t wait to turn the pages to see what was going to happen.
I adore Luke! I actually wanted to be able to give him the biggest hug! I can’t imagine everything that he had been through and I could feel the guilt that he felt also. I loved reading about the connection between him and Emily – there was just something there between them that felt so genuine and sincere. I think they had something that would tie them together forever; they understood each other and everything that they had been through. I desperately wanted them both to find their happily ever after. It’s been a while since two characters have found their way into my heart like these two have done.
This is the first book that I have read by this author and I was very impressed with her writing, it was engaging and captivating. The plot was good and the pace and flow of the story brilliant. I highly recommend this 5 star book!

Eight Steps was a fun and entertaining read that I really enjoyed. I have read a couple of books by this author now and I always find her writing really easy to read and my attention is always held from beginning to end.
I thought that Elliot was a great character, a really nice person and I liked him even if he was a ‘nerd’! I really enjoyed watching as he tried to transform himself into an alpha all to catch the eye of a girl he likes! I wasn’t sure I was going to like Fe, I wondered if she was going to be pushy but I actually kind of liked her – there was some chemistry between the two and they had good banter between them.
Maybe the story was a little predictable but I still found it very entertaining, funny, heart-warming and all round good read. I would definitely recommend Eight Steps as a great 4 star read!

Honestly, this book is amazing! This is part two in the 21st Century Courtesan Series and it is hands down better than the first book. Once I started reading, I couldn’t put it down. This series is original, sexy and addictive. I’m anxiously waiting for the next installment.

The story continues as Evie takes on her next client. Jake is a big time movie star with a secret as big as he is. He’s lost his way and is shutting down. It’s up to Evie to get him back on track. As much as I loved Dylan in the first book, I fell head over heels for Jake. He’s there for her as well and helps her in her time of need. There are many revelations for Evie in this book that knocks her off kilter. Someone from her past keeps popping up and throwing a wrench in her plans and her psycho “fan” has stepped it up a notch.

So much happens in this book that I was blown away. Pamela DuMond has written an exceptional story filled with suspense, angst and of course steamy moments. I highly recommend this book!

Movie Star was a great 5 star read and book two in the 21st Century Courtesan series.

Evie is empathic, men hire her to help them heal. She is heading to LA to help Jake Keller, a very hot troubled movie star. The night before she leaves she discovers her house has been broken into. And she has gotten another letter. Has her stalker returned?

Healing broken men is filthy, grueling work, which is why it’s ironic that on the outside I look immaculate.

Jake has some secrets that someone wants to keep buried. Will Evie be able to help Jake or will his secret stay buried?

As they spend time together Evie and Jake get close, and lets just say they had some very steamy scenes. There is also an unexpected twist, someone that Evie hadn’t seen in a couple of years shows up.

Be prepared for so much more in this story. I love Evie, she had me lol at times with things she would say or think. The secondary characters were great. Once I started I couldn’t put it down, I finished it pretty quickly. Pamela DuMond will have your head spinning with the things going on. I suggest reading book one first.

The Perfect Duchess was a good 4 star read.
This is Andrew and Clara’s story.

We start out at Andrew’s birthday party where he sees Lady Clara, she has been the only one that has gotten his attention in the past few years. When he searches her out for a dance he finds her being insulted by one of his guests, so he quickly rescues her.

Lady Clara knew she was taking a chance by going to the party. People believe she was involved in her sister leaving Andrew at the altar. The insults that she took were terrible, but she held her own and gave it right back.

If they think they can chase me away, they are severely mistaken -Lady Clara

When Andrew starts to court Lady Clara, things get even more interesting. When Clara finds out that she is in danger from her own brother, Andrew offers her a solution. Will she take it?

All of the secondary characters were great. There are some twists and turns and secrets revealed. We do get a HEA but it was definitely not an easy journey. If you’re looking for a good historical read you will like this one. Erica Taylor does a great job of pulling you in with her writing.

By: Erica Taylor
My Rating: 4 of 5 stars

The Perfect Duchess (The Macalisters #2) by Erica Taylor was an engaging, hooking historical fiction that keeps you flipping the pages.

Not my first read by this author, but in truth, the first book of this series actually takes place before this one. So in saying that, I highly suggest reading this book first, then go back and read book one. If I myself knew that these books were written out of chronological order, I would have done that; because the first book is full of spoilers for book one. So though I still enjoyed this story, I felt I knew it well before reading it.

Outside of this book taking place before the first, I very much adored this read. That opening scene was, for me, what dreams are made of. There’s just something about two people locking eyes across a crowded room that just makes me all mushy on the inside. From that moment I was hooked not only on this book, but this future couple. This book doesn’t just focus on the romance, there’s a spotlight on Andrew’s close relationship with his siblings, and the hunting dark tone around Clara’s brother and his disdain for her.

Told in dule POV we get inside both their heads, and that adds a little something extra, rounding out an already endearing story. So please take my super high recommendation and my stamp of approval, that you will fall hard for this unconventional romance, set in a time when social standards were everything. Things have to be handled with care, and the Duke has to be a bit cunning to get what he wants.

Happy Reading
