An Agreement, Summer in New York Book 3 by Lindsay Marie Miller
4 out of 5 stars

Lindsay Marie Miller is a fantastic author. This third installment in the Summer in New York Series is a fantastic book. Ms Miller has the singular ability to create two separate individuals within the confines of the covers of a book and submerge them and the reader into a world into a world that is detailed and amazing! Bailey has found herself single at the ripe old age of twenty-five but refusing to stay single for much longer, she reaches out to her friend Carter to find out exactly what she is missing in obtaining the perfect man for her..even though she knows the perfect man for her is Carter.

Carter thinks he is a broken man. On the inside and out. Bailey is too good of a person and has too sweet of a soul to love someone like him. So he does the next best thing, he does everything in his power to make sure she finds her white knight..even if that isn’t him.

This sweet romance has some series chemistry to it and the secrets come out that they are hiding from each other…some serious sparks fly. I found myself laughing at a few mishaps and at others I was frustrated at the OBVIOUS sexual tensions, but alas, with age comes wisdom..and when you are only twenty-five, you seem to miss what is right in front of your face. Highly recommended.

An Agreement (Summer in New York, #3)An Agreement by Lindsay Marie Miller
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

An Agreement was a good 4 star read and book three in the Summer in New York series.

Bailey is a 25 year old with her own clothing store that is finally starting to go in the right direction. She has always had the fairy tale dream of the right man coming along. When her brothers talk her into trying online dating she ends up with a date, there is a slight mixup and she ends up meeting Carter.

Carter meets Bailey when she comes to his restaurant, there was something about her that pulled him in. When fate steps in he finds himself having lunch with Bailey and his sister. Carter just isn’t looking for anything right now due to his past but he agrees to help Bailey understand men better. The more he helps Bailey the more complicated things start to get. Can they really keep things at a friends level?

I really liked Bailey, she was a very sensitive woman looking for, the one. Carter pulled at my heartstrings also, the chemistry that these two had was great. My emotions were all over the place with this read. The secondary characters were good. It took a little bit for me to get pulled in at first but once I was, I couldn’t stop until I was done. I was once again pulled in by this authors writing, This can be read as a stand alone. I can’t wait to read more from this series.

Born to Fight (Can’t Resist You #1)
By Brittany Anne
Rated 5 stars

This is such a good story!! It is fast paced, full of action and suspense. Well…and the romance isn’t too shabby either. It drew me in right at the beginning and I could hardly put this down. I needed to see what was going to happen in this place and to these characters next.

I loved both of the main Characters! Each has some issues and but both grew nicely. I was impressed with Rain. She is a strong, smart, resourceful and impressive. I can’t imagine not seeing a human for 2 years. Hunter is the soldier. It’s all he has ever known…how to fight. He doesn’t know the meaning of the word “Can’t”. Nor has he ever been concerned with “feelings”. When he mentions them to his “brothers”??? It was an interesting conversation because they were all shocked. “Feelings?? Are we allowed to have those?” Made me kind of chuckle.

The secondary characters are an interesting lot. Hunters “brothers” all are great additions and help move the plot along. They are smart, tough and nice but all good looking. I enjoy their time together. I (Hopefully) look forward to them getting their own stories.

This is my first book by this author and I am excited to read more. Especially in this series! The title of the book and the series are perfect. I can see both of them pertaining to this story.

Say When (A Cedarville Novel Book 9)Say When by Bree Kraemer
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Say When by Bree Kraemer is the ninth book in her Cedarville series. This is such a strong series. Each book can be read as a stand-alone but I dare you to try and stop yourself from falling in love with this whole series.
Dani and Patrick have got to be my favourites so far. I found Dani to be so relatable. Which made it so easy to become very invested in her character and her story. I was desperate for the two of them to find a way to make things work, to learn how to communicate with each other.
And to make it even better it was a book about a best friends sister. They are always one of my favourite books and this was no exception.
As always with this series I found this book to be heartwarming and well written. My favourite so far and it has made me even more excited to read what else is to come.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This was such a sweet and fun little anthology! It was a perfect weekend “getaway” read. At just under five hundred pages collectively, it was easy to devour quickly for an anthology. A trait that I definitely loved for an anthology. Each author was a completely new author to me so it was quite nice to get to know some new ones to add to my TBR list for the future.

Each story is different but all have the same common concept… Hot and steamy cowboys, and there really wasn’t a single one that I didn’t fall for. Strap in ladies because this is going to be one fun read! Each of the stories are listed below, but for all the juicy details you will have to one-click and read all those for yourself! Happy reading!

It Ends Tonight (Bayou Devils MC Book 4)It Ends Tonight by A.M. Myers
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

 

It Ends Tonight is the fourth book in the Bayou Devils MC Series by A.M. Myers. I Really don’t know how she does it, but this series just seems to get better and better with each new installment- it really shouldn’t surprise me, because Ms. Myers never does anything by halves, and always manages to exceed my expectations. But I really wasn’t prepared to love this story as much as I did. Quinn and Lucas (Smith) were so easy to love and become emotionally invested in- I found myself cheering them on right from the beginning. From the moment they ‘meet’ to the very last word, this story had me in its hold, while also playing with my emotions.
I really loved this book. It definitely has all the qualities needed to make it a truly compelling read. You will laugh, and you will cry… and you will love every minute. There were so many elements to this story, which were cleverly crafted by Ms. Myers, into this captivating story, which I’m sure you will love just as much as I do!

Thank you Ms. Myers!

Cowboy: Claimed is a wonderful Anthology by six talented authors. These authors all have different styles and approaches to writing, and each story is unique and individual- but they all have the same theme as inspiration for each of their stories- and that is, sexy cowboys.
I went into this book not really knowing what to expect, because all six of these authors are new-to-me, but I have come out the other side, totally impressed and entertained. All the stories are superbly done- quite engrossing, with wonderful plotting, well developed characters- and all were entirely enjoyable. I am always excited when I get to explore the work of authors I’ve never read before, especially wen I love what I find and can add their work to my TBR.
The Anthology contains:

Rescue Love By: Melissa Keir.

Snow Bird Springs: TROY By: Cheryl Gorman

Upstaging the Cowboy By: Leslie P. Garcia

Cowboy Kind of Forgiveness By: Becca Turner

Reverence By: Lyssa Layne

Cowboy Proud By: D’Ann Lindun

Buckle up and be prepared for an enjoyable ride- where you will discover some drama, suspense, danger, heartache, emotion, second chances, new beginnings, forgiveness, love, loss, romance, light-hearted and tender moments, some action, and surprises….And you will enjoy, Every. Single. Minute!
I really recommend this Anthology- you won’t regret buying it! It is worth every cent of the purchase price- six books in one…. #winning!

Thank you to all the contributing authors!

Ring Tru (Thick as Theives Book 1)Ring Tru by Janice M. Whiteaker
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Ring Tru by Janice M. Whiteaker a four-star read that will ring your bell. This is the first book in the Thick as Thieves series and oh what a start. Tru was a great character and she will pull you into the story in a great manner, she is complex but compelling. One thing I will say was that I found the start a little slow, but then got hooked into it and couldn’t put it down until I was finished. The second story can’t come quick enough as just like this second chance story the authors writing is just second to none.

Born to Fight by Brittany Anne is the first book in the Can’t Resist You series, this was my first book by this author but it certainly won’t be my last. I ended up reading this book in one sitting as I couldn’t bring myself to put it down. This dystopian read had me truly entertained from start to finish. It’s intense, action-packed, detailed and highly captivating.

I really enjoyed that this story is told in many POV’s along with flashbacks laced throughout, it made me feel fully immersed in the story and like no detail was left out. I can’t wait to continue this series with book 2 once released.

This is a book I would recommend to anyone looking for their next dystopian read!

Calling the Curveball by Tracey Cramer-Kelly a five-star read that will knock you out of the park. This was my first read by this author and it won’t be my last, it’s in the first read Lawson family series and shows us some great promise in the family stories. Jamie Lawson will break your heart, reading his story is compelling and brutal and you know that you want to pick him up and put him back together. Thankfully that job falls to Kira Walker, well sort of, as a bit of summer fun isn’t supposed to be this hard is it? The author has such a way with her words that you will feel the pain and heartache they feel. A brilliantly plotted and planned read.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Do you ever come across an author who, every time you read them, makes you love them even more? This is one such author for me. Jesse was soooo funny at times, making me laugh loudly and get funny looks. Beyond that, though, is good story. It has characters from previous books but can be read totally on it’s own. Jesse is sweet but also delicious, and Harlow is such a good mom and deserves every moment of happiness coming to her, especially since she has raised such an awesome little boy. Things get a little crazy near the end, which I kind of figured they would. And I was in tears at one point. I just loved this hard.

The Killmores
By: Martha Sweeney
5 out of 5 stars

The story The Killmores by Martha Sweeney is a thrilling mystery/espionage book. It is a story that hooks you in from the very beginning and I didn’t want to put it down until the final page. This is a sequel that is a page-turner. In order to fully understand all that goes on, it would be best to read the first book. This story had me constantly on the edge of my seat wondering what was going to happen next and who was going to survive. This book has action and danger with each chapter that you read. Laurie and Aiden are larger than life characters. Laurie is a strong, stubborn woman with a sense of humor. She also is a bit paranoid that there are those watching and following her. Those fears become based in reality when a nightmare unfolds for this couple. Aiden is a man that is trying to help Laurie cope with the demons that haunt her. He is protective of her. He also is one that professes her love for her. As the nightmare that has become their life unfolds will Aiden be able to save Laurie? Will this couple get a happy ending, or will things end in tragedy? Read this book to find out. There are many characters that are brought forward from the first book and also new ones that are introduced. I loved the bantering that goes back and forth between Laurie and Aiden. I have to laugh at how contrary Laurie always is. I believe that she just loves to say the opposite of what Aiden does because she wants to. This story has characters that help this couple and are loyal and those that have their own agenda. Find out who wins in the end. This is a suspenseful story that is amazing to read. Highly recommended.

An Agreement: Summer in New York book three by Lindsay Marie Miller. This was a difficult story to read, not because of the story, that was great but the characters made you feel so much. An Agreement is about getting a second chance at love and life. Even if you don’t think you deserve it, or your not good enough, all the negative thoughts, fears, doubts and blame for past experiences. The main characters Bailey and Carter each have a difficult past and secrets they aren’t sure they want to come out but eventually they all come out and every time they take one step forward it’s three more steps back. With they ever move past their fears and doubts and just be happy?

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Uproariously good! Seriously, I laughed until I cried while reading “Getting the Goods.” I have not had the chance to read anything from Elizabeth Perry before I picked this one up, but I can assure you that it won’t be my last!

Gabby is turning thirty and really isn’t looking for love or a future with someone. The idea of a little one is another story. Her and her best friend hatch a schemingly crazy idea, one for the movie scripts, and set out to accomplish it. Of course, best laid plans…

Connor is an unsuspecting victim, in more ways than one. The one time he actually has more than a fleeting feeling for someone she wants to run away.

This was so much fun. The storyline added twists to something we are used to seeing in the rom-com category. The emotions were balanced and at the end I was fully invested in the characters and wanting more. Thanks for a great read! On to see what else Ms. Perry has to one-click!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

My first book by Brittany Anne and what a great start to the Can’t Resist You series! The opening scene sets the stage, proving how evil and wrong, the group called UNR, really is.

The story line is set for after the fall of America and life as we know it. UNR is a group of power-hungry, evil people bent on destroying and enslaving any one against them. The Resistance is the group of people, hiding from the UNR because they are against everything the UNR believes in. The Resistance will fight to make things right while freeing mankind.

Rain is our main female character. Rain has a secret but after being completely alone for 2 years she doesn’t know who to trust or what to believe. Hunter is our main male character. He is one of the leaders of the Resistance. When Hunter is left for dead and Rain finds him and nurses him back to life, they both begin to hope for a different future. The only question is, can their future be better together? Or will her secret destroy everything.

I liked this story. It was easy to read and follow. The characters, even the secondary ones, were sassy, smart and likeable. I truly hope the rest of this series is just as good.

Savannah’s Saviours by Bella Settarra is the fifth book in her Cowboys of County Cavern series.
Savannah has a dark past, one that is determined not to let her go, not to let her move on. But when she meets Tom and Greg she begins to think she can have a future.
However when it becomes clear the two of them have secrets Savannah doubts whether or not she will ever be free from her past.
This book is highly emotional and will have you hooked from start to finish. Savannah has had such a tough past and has fought to try and over come it. I felt it was so easy to become engaged with her character and her story. This is the first book I have read by this author and I was impressed with the way it flowed and how she developed the storyline. This was a book I thoroughly enjoyed.

4 Stars

I’ve read the author’s Moonburner series which I really enjoyed. After reading this prequel, it looks like she has another winning series. I’m excited to read the rest. This story is about Hale Firena’s life before he joined the Confectioners Guild. He is a rich spoiled brat of a high ranking government official until there was a coup d’état. Now Hale, along with his mother and brother, are political refugees running for their lives. There are plenty of obstacles and challenges on their journey out of the country. Hale needs to learn that things will not be handed to him on a silver platter anymore and his ego gets taken down a few notches. Though he lives through some devastating experiences, luck is on his side.

To be honest, Hale annoyed me through the first half of the book. He was spoiled rotten and I didn’t like his attitude. Once he dropped his pretentions, I definitely warmed up to him. The good thing is that the action starts almost at the beginning and continues throughout the whole book. Towards the end, I was biting my nails with the excitement and danger. This was a fun adventurous read worthy to be a part of this series.

5++++ Stars

Let me start by saying what an absolutely beautiful cover this book has and although that was one reason I was drawn to it, it was actually the authors name that had me knowing I had to read it.

This is my 3rd book by this author and I don’t even know what words to use to explain how I appreciate the world building, character forming, and extreme attention to detail this author puts into her stories. I don’t even read fantasy type storylines but Miss Luana’s are so so amazing that I can’t help but savor every single word.

“This is all to say that sometimes, what feels like nothing is really something. You may have more cards in your hand than you realize. You need only play them when the time is right.”

This one was so unique and the added suspense and mystery had me hooked from page 1 and the last 25% of the book I was on the edge of my seat wondering how in the world she was going to make this all work…Brilliant is just one of the words that come to mind. So many things happen in this story that I’m not even going to try to sum it up..you have to read this and I can not wait for more of this series, I will be one of the first in line to read more!!

Awesome, Amazing, Incredible, Brilliant, and simply Fantastical!!

F*cking Frank (Smirk Series Book 1)F*cking Frank by Jen Luerssen
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

 

This was my first read by Jen Luerssen, so I wasn’t entirely sure what to expect when I began. I didn’t know if I would enjoy the story because I don’t normally enjoy over-the-top and very direct humour that the blurb alluded to. But as I was looking for something a little different from what I had been reading of late, a palate cleanse of sorts, so I took the chance and wandered in.
What I found was everything I had expected it to be- a somewhat bawdy romantic comedy with a very cheeky overtone- lots of swearing, flirting, innuendos, sarcasm, and teasing…. but, surprisingly, it also had a deeper and more emotive storyline than I had expected, which balanced out the comedy- and I have to say I enjoyed the book much more than I had expected to.
The story is told almost entirely from Frank’s POV, even addressing the reader directly at times- which took me a little while to get used to. All the characters are quite zany, fully developed individuals with their own quirks, flaws, and personalities. Each one contributed to the storyline, and help set the tone and mood. I particularly liked Joe and Lia.
So, If you like outrageous romantic comedies with strong, quirky characters, and want to know what happens when a grumpy musician meets a smart, independent winemaker- then this is definitely the story for you!

Thank you, Ms. Luerssen!

There are some twists and turns that had me on the edge of my seat trying to figure out what was going to happen next. It was a definite page turner and I couldn’t put it down until I finished. I was drawn in from the beginning. This can be read as a standalone .The chemistry between Steel and Nicole is Hot and at times not so much. Find out what happens next. I highly recommend this Book. I can’t to wait to read more from this Author.

The Confectioner’s Exile by Claire Luana
Four Stars

In this prequel we learn about Hale. We see how he grew up and what made him become such a loyal man. I really liked this story. The imagination put into it to make it come to life. To dream up a world that is of something so powerful and serial. The author gives us background for what we read in The Confectioners Guild. The adventures are well thought out and detailed. The author didn’t miss a beat while creating this story. I like to experience different emotions while reading a book. But I mostly want to feel excitement and sadness. I sat sadness because I usually don’t want the story to end.
