My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I simply adored this book. I found the nerdy hunk to be adorable, extremely likeable, and charming. His best friend was relatable, quirky, and fun. Even though I found some of the plot to be predictable, it made it relatable and felt sincere. The dialogue was witty and the plot development was steady and enjoyable. I thought the author did a great job engaging the reader on fun romp. Loved it and cannot wait to read it again.

The Perfect Duchess (The Macalisters Book 2) by Erica Taylor – Review by Heather Lovelace

The Perfect Duchess (The Macalisters, #2)The Perfect Duchess by Erica Taylor
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Erica Taylor continues to captivate me with her regency novels. Although period pieces, the characters continue to be relatable and complex. We find ourselves provided with an opportunity to read more about two of the characters we met in book one. But with the way the story unfolds this book can easily stand on its own and the reader not be at a disadvantage if doing so. Taylor has a keen ear to the authenticity for this time period and lends itself toward an Austen-esque style. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book and cannot wait to continue my journey with the Macalisters.

Speechless and emotionally drained. This book left me heart broken and crying tears of joy several times throughout. The author does an absolutely beautiful job weaving this story together with characters the reader becomes invested in. This page turner grabbed hold of me in the first chapter and didn’t loose its grip until the final sentence. It is jam packed with every possible emotion. So buckle up for quite the journey – it’s worth every tear you find spilling across your cheeks.

A Suitable Affair by Erica Taylor

Five Stars

A Suitable Affair was a entertaining read. It made me want to be in that time. To do things deemed scandalous. Susanna us the type of girl I would’ve been in these times. To bend the rules to fit your will. To make them work for you. I love big family as I have one myself. The joy and craziness is addicting. There was so much pain and sadness from both Susanna and Ian. I really liked the whole espionage but not espionage thing Ian had going on. I liked that Susanna knew what she wanted and didn’t stop herself from going for it saying forget the rules. I don’t like the times because women weren’t seen as people but property. The mother’s only looking to marry their young girls to rich titles. The author made the story light by adding the humor. Ian was perfect because he was serious but also knew how to laugh.

A Talent for Trouble by Landra Graf is the first book in the Bad Boys of Space series. This is set in a space science fiction setting but has a gangster feel to it with some romance and intrigue. The main character Emilio is a drug runner and a lady’s man. He is trying to work himself up to the big time. Antonia is trying to get back her bootlegging ship so that she can work for herself and not have to rely on a man.
I wasn’t sure what to expect when I picked this up but was intrigued by the title and cover. I was not disappointed. This was a fun read and I enjoyed the story. The characters were different and it took me time to decide how I felt about them. My opinions changed as I was reading. I look forward to reading more in this series.

Hannah is a bad a$$ and shows it time and time again. She has dealt with some blows in life and kept the anger from the things that have happened inside where it keeps building.

Jack is an alpha to the bone, but has a huge heart. He does so much to help out the homeless people, especially the teens on the streets.

I had a feeling about some of the things that happened to Hannah and was quite proud of myself when I was right.

I wonder how long I have to wait for the next book in this series, hope it isn’t too long.

a great read about truth. After the events of the last book, Allie is eager to spend Christmas with friends. But it all goes wrong with a knock on the door. Charlottes life is turned upside down when Allie goes missing and fears for her safety. Desperate to find her charlotte must uncover some seceets totry and find her friend. Can she discover the truth before its too late?
a great read. Well developed plot with twists and turns. Although i did find the Tyrone Garned subplots distracted the narrative from the search for Allie at times but it does make sense in the end. Well developed characters like charlotte standing up for herself but concerned for her friend. i loved how the sequel was more about Allie, to flesh out this character from the first novel as shy and reserved but more to her than it first appears.
i loved the visual detail throughout the novel like with the senseof Christmas with the lights and tree and also the smells of cake and sounds of music for a warm feel that can also hide dangers perfectly writfen. The use of suspense was drawn out to perfection as you raced to solvefhe myserty and find Allie with Charlotte,. The switch of perspectives worked well once again to display both sides of the stroy and was easy to follow. The times and dates for each chapter werea a great addition once again and helped to fuel the fast paced feel of ghe novel and time fo find Allieslipping way quickly. Fast paced actions and high stakes made for a captivating read. Overall, a great read and i eould givd it four stars.

Rainy Day Lovers was a really lovely read with two wonderful characters. It didn’t take me long at all to fall in love with Raina, she was so lovely, she was kind, caring and just a real genuine person. Roman, bless him, my heart broke for him and everything that he had been through. I loved the first meeting between him and Raina; it really showed what a kind person she was. However there were times when I wanted to grab my kindle and throw it through the window with frustration because I so desperately wanted these two to be together. I liked that the author wrote from both characters point of view, I think it helped answer some of the questions I had.
Overall I thought that this was a lovely story with two wonderful characters. I look forward to reading more from this author again in the future.

Caught in the Spin is the second book in the Caught series. When I first started to read this series, I almost stopped reading because of the romance theme but that would have been a big mistake. This story is more than a romance story. It has an element of suspense and mystery. Sharleen Scott can tell a great story and I felt like I was in the story with Tallie and Tom. Tallie is looking for a place to go that will be safe for her and her son from her ex-husband who has been in prison. Will there be refuge in the ranch with Tom or will Tallie’s ex-husband find them and take her son away from her?

Caught in the Spin is the second book in The Caught Series by Sharleen Scott. As I have come to expect from Ms. Scott, this is a well written and intriguing read. The story could be read as a standalone, but there are recurring characters, and details, that you would better appreciate having read the first book before embarking on this one.
This is a great series, well worth your time to read- the characters are beautifully developed with their own personalities- and Ms. Scott certainly knows how to craft a completely engaging and captivating story. It has so much going on in it- from danger, mystery, suspense, action, drama, tension, and of course romance. The storyline drew me in and had me anxiously flipping pages to find out how everything plays out and I found myself completely invested in Tallie and Tom- and the outcome of their story.
Well worth the read! Can’t wait to see what Ms. Scott does next!

Thank you, Ms. Scott!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

 

Salvation: An Ash Park Novella is the prequel to the brilliant Ash Park Series by Meghan O’Flynn. I have read all of the Ash Park series and thought my wild ‘ride’ might have been over- so I was thrilled to discover this book had recently been released. All through the series, I have reiterated how impressed I am with Ms. O’Flynn’s ability to spin an incredibly clever thriller- and how she also manages to make each new instalment slightly eclipse the previous one. As well as the amount of tension, suspense, shocks, twists, surprises, and puzzling situations that she manages to infuse into each story, has me in awe of her skills- she always has me guessing, with a tight, unpredictable storyline- and delivering heart pounding, stomach clenching, and mind-blowing reading every single time.
This book takes us back to the beginning, giving us a different glimpse into the life of Detective Edward Petrosky, and some of the earlier events that shaped the man we know from the rest of the series. I can’t say too much more than what’s already mentioned in the blurb, without giving away spoilers, so do yourself a favour and grab yourself a copy- and get set for a thrilling ride….. with 5 other books in the series to devour, as well!
I wonder what Ms. O’Flynn has in store for us next?

Thank you, Ms. O’Flynn!

This is book two in the Caught Series. The story picks up two years after the first book ends. Tallie Peters is Harv’s new assistant and she heads up to Clay Masterson’s ranch for him to sign some papers. While there, she meets Tom Black and sparks fly. Of course, being stubborn, Tom fights the attraction. When Tom finds out that Tallie’s ex-husband is out of prison and is trying to kill her, he offers Tallie and her son a safe haven at his place.

Let me tell you, her ex-husband Roy Peters is crazy! The sad part is that there are men like him who exist. I felt so bad for Tallie. This book took me on a roller coaster ride of emotions. I found myself crying on several occasions. I suggest having a box of tissue near you while reading this book.

We met Tom Black briefly in the first book and he seemed alright. This story focuses on him and he is incredible! As much as I liked Caught in Cross Seas, I absolutely loved this book! This was an engaging story filled with romance, action and heart stopping drama.

I think Sharleen Scott is an amazing writer. Her characters are well developed and relatable. You are able to connect with the characters and cheer them on. Her stories are compelling and grab you right from the beginning and keep you on the edge constantly wanting more. I highly recommend you read this book!

A Suitable Affair is the first in the Macalisters series written by Erica Taylor and it was really good.

He takes it upon his self to warn Lady Susanna but she is surprises him she is not what she seems…. As they get to know each other she realizes she might have found what she was looking for all along.

What does the future hold for both Alex and Penny? Read this book to find out. This is a wonderful story that I enjoyed reading. There is romantic, emotional, and humorous dialogue. There are moments that are sad and also moments that are heartwarming. As you read about Penny and Alex, I got a better idea of how each one of them deals with situations that occur. There are characters that I grew to care about with each chapter that I read. The book had my emotions going up and down the entire time. The story had me lost in the pages and not wanting to put it down until I had finished it. There are other additional characters that are introduced. Some have a larger part than others. Each has their own part to play in the story as they interact with either Penny, Alex, or both of them together. This was a wonderful story to read and one I would recommend to others.

A Talent for Trouble is book one in the Bad Boys of Space series by Landra Graf. This is my first dabble into this author’s work, and I was excited to begin. Discovering new author’s is like a never ending gift and leaves me with a feeling unlike any other. Discovering amazingly talented author’s is even better.

Emilio is a drug runner and stuck in an unexpected situation with Toni, who is fed up with men. Forced together, they must face danger, madness and mayhem, to get their HEA. Emilio is a cheeky, self absorbed character that really grows on you, albeit begrudgingly. He wants what he wants and is not ashamed of his determination and arrogance. Toni can handle what he dishes out,  and has plenty of fuel to add to the fire. Their personas compliment each other in a dysfunctional way, but it totally works for them. The dramatics are endless and tension is always at an all time high. Attraction, satisfaction, danger and suspense are just some of the feelings packed into this drama. Emilio and Toni are an energetic duo that will amuse, annoy and captivate you. A book that is always entertaining. 4 stars
