Mouse Trapped: Satan’s Devils MC #9
By Manda Mellett
Rated 5 stars!!

Mouse,Mouse, Mouse! I have waiting for your book! I can’t believe it’s finally here! Not only that but it’s a story that easily fits you but yet surprises me. The meet-cute between you and Mariana was a perfect beginning. I love that she sees ALL sides of you.

Mouse is a Native American super problem solving geek! He has long black hair that he ties back with a strip of leather. He is half Navajo, half American. He always seemed to struggle with finding a place to fit in. Until he found the Satan’s Devils. Mouse has always been the one “behind the computer”. He is a grade A hacker. I wasn’t even sure he had “skills” like the rest of the club. But WOW! He can suit up with the rest of them!

The characters in here are written so well. I feel their pain, anguish and brotherhood. They joke, tease and protect. I loved the comment that came in church after the statement that Mouse got himself a girl. “MAC or PC?” Haha haha! Good one! Also the Great title! Thanks to Blade for voicing it at church!!

This a a wonderful addition to the Satan’s Devils series. I love how we meet these characters throughout the stories but really don’t know them until we get their story. Blade really came alive in this book. As an enforcer he comes off tough but with his brothers we see a more fun and relaxing side. I can’t wait for more!

Sailors Knot (Eastern Shore Swingers Book 4)Sailors Knot by Phoebe Alexander
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Sailors Knot (Eastern Shore Swingers Book 4) By Phoebe Alexander. While this is book four you can definitely read them as a standalone but I urge you to read the others because this author just writes a story that sticks with you well after the last page. I keep thinking no book could be better than the one before but this author definitely proves me wrong all the time. Once again I’m immediately drawn into this amazing story. This incredible story is focused on Casey who takes readers on what I can only describe as a powerful emotional journey of past, present and second chances. From page one I knew Casey’s story would probably be my new favorite in this series and I wasn’t wrong she’s a character you can’t help but feel a connection with and watching her story unfold was truly my favorite pastime while I was reading it. As with anything amazing it unfortunately had to come to an end but I will think about this story often and be adding it to my read again list for sure. It’s well written and paced nicely with amazing characters you love. I’m giving this a five star review and highly recommend it to everyone.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I’ve said it once and many times, Meghan O’Flynn doesn’t disappoint her readers with her amazing way of putting words together. Words that are able to captivate the reader, and make you sit on the edge of your seat. This was my exact experience with Redemption in the Ash Park Series. It doesn’t matter that I’ve read the previous books in this series, but the intense suspense and thrill remains within the pages of the book and with the characters. I absolutely love how Meghan can develop characters that completely captivate you and don’t let you go. This was most definitely another 5 Star Book for me!!!

The Nearness Of You by KG Fletcher. I have read many books by this author and have absolutely loved them all. This book was absolutely no different!! I fell in love with Lauren and David from the beginning. Lauren is a sultry lounge singer and she meets David who is in town for his sister’s wedding. Their chemistry is amazing until David’s assistant doesn’t really like having Lauren around so much, messing with their flow. Are they looking for the same thing, romantically or is David just looking for fun.
I loved this book and the authors writing style. I am highly recommending this book.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I have read a couple of books from this author but she keeps on blowing me away. This is a prequel to the Brothers of Camelot series. I love a good coming to age mobster story but this book exceeded all my expectations. You can’t help to fall in love with these characters. I absolutely love the Uncle. I could not put this book down until I was on the last page. It only took me a few hours to devour this incredible story.

Alessandra was born as the Princess to the Canzano Family. She is the daughter of a very powerful man. Alessandra is to be the head of the Family when the time comes. She has to train everyday to make sure that she has skills to fight. Her Uncle dedicates his life to love her like his own. They have a bond that can never be broken. Alessandra wants to be a normal girl but she quickly realizes that she is not normal. She has to protect her family and friends. Alessandra is on a trip and she sees a handsome guy. She can’t get him out of her mind. Alessandra learns some family secrets that will change her life. Will Alessandra be able to have a normal life or will she just be her father’s puppet?

I absolutely loved this book. The storyline has it all suspense, mystery, and a little bit of romance. You will fall in love with Alessandra right from the start. She is a very strong girl that has a good heart. Alessandra loves her family and friends but she wants to be a normal girl. Her Uncle is my hero. He takes care of her like his own. He makes sure that she gets what she needs because her father is usually absent. This book will give you all of the feels from sadness to joy. I can’t wait to see what happens next to these unforgettable characters.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Small Town Hero by Kim Koby a four-star read that will restore your faith. This is the first book in the Small Town Brides series and it was sweet, and romantic in the best possible ways. This was a great opposite attract, with some added drama as well the pages just flowed from each other with a great flow. The way we see Rebecca with her tough façade (with good reason, with a bestie like hers who needs enemies) and soft gentleness that we get to see when she shows her true self. It was a great development to the story, it wasn’t just this is a scorned woman ohh she met a man and now she’s happy there was detail and structure and a trueness to the flow, It just made it that much more of a stronger story.

Killmore (Killmore #1)
By Martha Sweeney
Rated 5 stars

Holy Smokes! Talk about starting off with a bang! Wowzer! Laurie is sarcastic, tough and has a take no prisoners attitude. She is angry hurt and unable to move forward from what happened in her past. Plus the trust issues??? I don’t blame her for being slow to trust anyone. Now with that being said I LOVE how strong she is!!! She kicks a$$ and doesn’t apologize. She has built herself up to be someone no one wants to mess with. Love her!

The overall theme of half the story was the male lead teasing, cajoling and doing everything possible to get in the female leads pants and she was always pushing him away. I felt a little of that was fine but it seemed a bit over the top. Almost like her last relationship. Anyway we are in deep with their relationship as the story moves forward with the reason he was there to begin with. About 3/4 of the book had gone by before action picks back up. Then there is a bit of suspense and action, action and more.

This is an impressive book and I enjoy Martha Sweeney’s writing. The characters are wonderful and I look forward to see what happens next.

Mouse Trapped Satan’s Devils MC
By: Manda Mellett
5 out of 5 stars

The story Mouse Trapped Satan’s Devils MC by Manda Mellett is a book that I loved reading. I have read several in this series and they all have been amazing. The story hooks you in from the very beginning and doesn’t let you go until the end. There are page-turning moments that will have you wondering what is going to happen next and what is going to happen to the characters. I loved reading about the characters of Mouse and Mariana. Mouse is a member of the Satan’s Devils. He joined for a sense of belonging and they are like his family. He is the go-to guy for computers. There is a code in Satan’s Devils that they all live by. That code comes into play when he meets and helps Mariana. Mariana is a woman that has a secret. It is one that keeps her towing the line and staying under the radar. When her life is turned upside down Mouse is there to help her. Since they met she has thought of him. He keeps away at first, then he receives a call. Can Mouse help Mariana when she needs it the most or will outside forces pull them apart? There is a connection between Mouse and Mariana. Will they find happiness together? Read this book to find out. The author does a wonderful job with making you feel all of the emotions that Mariana does. She shows herself to be a strong woman who faces situations that anyone would find stressful and hard to deal with. Mouse and Mariana are characters that I grew to love with each chapter that I read. Their journey is one filled with danger with the end goal of a future together. Will they get it? I also enjoyed the other characters that interact and assist Mouse and Mariana. Many of them have been brought forward from other books and there are familiar names included in the book. This is an amazingly wonderful story that I would give more than 5 stars if I could. Highly recommended.

The Nearness of You by K.G. Fletcher is a beautiful story. I have read several books by KG Fletcher and with every one of the stories I am loving her more and more. Her writing style is fresh as well as challenging the characters in her books. This particular story takes a lounge singer who has a chance encounter with a British male super model. David, the model, just happens to be at the hotel for his sister’s nuptials and asks Lauren Rose to the ceremony. From that moment shaped the story. It takes you through the trials and tribulations. It is a well thought out story. I really enjoyed this story.

The story Killmore by Martha Sweeney is a romantic suspense book. It is a story that I loved reading. It has me hooked from the very beginning and I didn’t want to put it down until I had finished the last page. I loved reading about the female main character. She is a beautiful and strong woman. She is also sarcastic and snarky. She has to be protected by the Feds as she knows the business dealings of Antonio Herrera. It includes both drugs and human trafficking. They should be keeping her safe. She is not one that always trusts what others say. Will she be able to keep those she now lives among and cares for safe? What will happen when she meets the one person who challenges her at every turn? How much danger is she truly in? Read this book to find out what happens. I enjoyed the bantering that goes on between the main characters and also the secondary characters that you are introduced to. The interactions sometimes had me with a smile on my face and laughing out loud. There are some steamy scenes included in this story that will have the temperature in the room rising. The book does have its page-turning moments and times when I was on the edge of my seat wondering what was going to happen next. The story has enough detail that I felt like I was right there with the characters going through what they did. This is a wonderfully written story that you don’t want to miss out on. It is a book I would highly recommend reading.

The Nearness of You is a fantastic romance read by K.G. Fletcher. It’s a love story that took me on an emotional roller coaster ride of emotions. From the very first chapter I was captivated by Lauren and David, their chemistry was simply undeniable which held my attention the whole way through.

This is a book I know I’ll be reading again and for that reason I would recommend it to anyone looking for their next romance read.

WOW!! What a whirlwind! I picked up “Our Unexpected Hope” today and couldn’t put it down until I was done! Quinn is in her early twenties and helps her dad run their photography company. She has never had a real relationship, but knows exactly what she wants in life after seeing her how in love her parents are. Noah is the head chef of a restaurant that Quinn frequents and has gazed from afar until she comes in for a photo shoot and he changes their lives forever. Their whirlwind romance is a beautiful read. The time together might be short, but the time spent is quality time. I can’t give away any details, but these two really get put through it! I nearly cried about four times, and I NEVER cry when I read! If you want a sweet but serious romance, this is the book for you! Just have the tissues ready! I really loved the journey these two went on to get to the end, again no details, but it’s very fitting. I give Michelle Sullivan’s “Our Unexpected Hope” five teary eyed stars!

The Fifth Knight (The Knights of Caerleon #1)The Fifth Knight by Jesikah Sundin
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Strong female character in an Arthurian tale? Sign me up.
Fionna is a fierce and talented warrior who is the key to breaking the fae curse that Arthur and his Knights are up against. I was hooked from start to finish. I have always enjoyed Arthurian legends and this is my first RH novel so it was pretty interesting to add to the mix of what I’ve already consumed in terms of Arthurian literature.
The story is told from several different POV characters, which I’ve always thought helps to flesh out characters. I also like that although Fionna is a strong willed character, she doesn’t have that irritating trope of getting in over her head to prove herself and then needing to be rescued like any old damsel in distress. It was kind of annoying that everyone seemed to fall in love with her like they’d never seen a woman before but I guess it fits in with the timeline/history/ story that the whole thing is based around. Can’t wait for the next book!

Romance in Rehoboth Boxed Set (Books 1-3) by K.L. Montgomery – Review by Heather Bahm

Romance in Rehoboth Boxed Set (Books 1-3)Romance in Rehoboth Boxed Set by K.L. Montgomery
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

K.L. Montgomery’s Romance in Rehoboth Boxed Set (Books 1-3) includes Fat Girl, The Flip and Plot Twist. I’ve read of the books within this set and each was thoroughly enjoyable – highly recommend. Here’s a summary of my thoughts of each of these books in this boxed set.

Fat Girl
Fat Girl, by K.L. Montgomery, is Claire Sterling’s story. She is almost 40, divorcing her husband, moving back home, and veering back into the dating scene via online. However, she fears that she will always be a fat girl.

Most of us can relate to this story in some shape or form. We have all looked in the mirror at one point and seen ourselves as others do, some piece of disappointment in ourselves. A failed marriage with a cheating ex-husband and now being a single mom venturing back into dating trying for a new relationship. Insecurities abound and trying to find a way to respect herself and love herself inside and out.

K.L. Montgomery touches on real life issues. It is in your face, right there in front of you, in black and white on the pages. Claire’s character definitely has many roadblocks in her life that she has to knock down, move around or avoid. She’s courageous to move into dating at a later age and the unknowns of whether a person is truthful or hiding something. There were many times in the midst of reading this story that I wanted to sit right next to Claire and ask her what would you tell me… and then, don’t you think you should do the same for yourself?

Fat Girl offers several laughable moments. If you aren’t quite sure on your next book to read, I would recommend this book as everyone should be able to relate to some piece or part of this story.

The Flip
The Flip, by K.L. Montgomery, is the second book in the Romance in Rehoboth series. This romantic comedy features Andrew and Sonnet with their relationship shifts from that of high school dynamics of dislike to something that changes in a way neither of them anticipated.

The characters are well developed and I felt that their chemistry flowed smoothly and was not forced. I honestly enjoyed their antics in the story. This author does a good job in their writing for this series/story. I did previously read Fat Girl, the first book of the series. The Flip was as good as the previous book and I loved the characters of Andrew and Sonnet. K.L. Montgomery is great at romantic comedies and kept me on my toes and laughing through this novel. The story was addictive and a true page turner.

Plot Twist
K.L. Montgomery’s Plot Twist is the third novel in the Romance in Rehoboth series. The author overlaps several characters that appeared previously in the series in subsequent books as supporting cast members. I enjoyed how these characters overlapped between books. Within Plot Twist, the main cast includes Meric and Lindy; this romantic comedy has all the major elements, to have you laughing to wiping stray tears, to wondering what in the heck that last conversation was?! The build up in this story was well paced and created allure and intrigue into possibly where the author was planning to take these main characters and when they would peak and/or plummet. The story was fun, inspirational, and everything in between.

The Nearness of You is fast paced, David and Lauren feeling the L word right away, even if they wait to say it. They are magnetically drawn to each other from the first night, him inviting her to a family wedding the next day! Of COURSE dating a famous person isn’t easy and there are obstacles. The last of which is his busy schedule. His assistant was a heartless evil gremlin of a woman, who I wished many bad things upon throughout the story. Things get pretty emotional in my opinion, but it all works out with a happy ending. I was entertained and pulled in by these two lovebirds.

Small Town Hero is a sweet, whirlwind romance. Ryan seems mostly down to earth, sincere, and sweet. I do feel he’s a bit impulsive, jumping into things the way he does in this story. Rebecca has just gotten blindsided and lost everything that defines her in this moment. Even though it’s for the better and her personality even shines brighter after it all, I kind of wish she wasn’t so fast to jump in both feet with Ryan. It’s like running from one relationship to jump into another fully formed, super serious commitment. But these two do fall hard and fast and it’s worth it all in the end, which sneaks up on you.

Must Love Fashion is book one in the Darling Cove series by Deborah Garland. This is my first time reading this author’s work, so I was keen to get started. It is always such a delight to find a talented author to disappear into, and I hit the jackpot with this author.

Gwen and Andrew clash horns over their public relations duties and the tension, attraction and competition runs rampant between them. In the fast paced Fashion house where they work together, there is a myriad of dramatic elements that both captivate and entertain. This story offers so many thrills, spills and pandemonium. It also pulled the heartstrings. Must Love Fashion has a little of everything that will appeal to every taste in literary genius. 5 stars

Small Town Hero is my first experience with Kim Koby’s writing and it also happens to be Small Town Bride book one. I wasn’t sure entirely what to expect with this book but overall I found that I enjoyed it. I was drawn to the storyline fairly quickly, I liked how the book started with a lot of emotion and kicked off right away. While the book wasn’t slow to kick off, I did feel like it took quite some time for me to connect with Rebecca. If I’m
being honest I am still not entirely sure how I feel about her character.
As far as characters go, I did really love Ryan from the start and despite my feelings toward Rebecca, the chemistry between the two in this story was really sweet and undeniable.
Small Town Hero was short and fast paced and honestly kept me on my toes emotionally. I liked that the obstacles Ryan and Rebecca faced were realistic and relatable, really showing that “Trust was vital when it came to love.”
I would recommend Small Town Hero to anyone that enjoys short, clean romances and after the way Kim Koby ended this book I am looking forward to reading more in the series. This doesn’t have a cliffhanger ending, Kim Koby just sets us up well for who will be the next to share their
story.

WOW! What a way to end a series! Redemption is Book 5 in the Ash Park Series by Meghan O’Flynn. I wasn’t sure what to expect from this book seeing as though the last one left you a little worried. Detective Ed Petrosky has lost his partner and the son he never had. Now that Shannon is moving on with the kids, what does he do? That is the constant question that keeps remaining throughout the entire book. However, in true Meghan O’Flynn style, she has a twist for us. A new partner for Petrosky! And this one is a loop that you did not see coming! I’m not going to go in detail because I want you to be surprised but let’s just say Petrosky is way out of his league on this one! But you will definitely love it! I know I did. I absolutely loved this book as well as I did the others! I would definitely read this series in order because it ends up being one ongoing story. This author has really impressed me with her writing style and raw nature that you do not tend to see very often! I’m glad this series has come to my attention and I truly cannot wait to read more from her! It isn’t easy writing murder mystery and to do it so well and to be able to keep one’s attention through 5 books is amazing! Well done Ms. O’Flynn! You have done this series and this genre proud!

The Nearness of You by K. G. Fletcher is a romantic story that leaves you feeling good. You will be hooked from the first page. This is the story of Lauren, a lounge singer and David, a British Super Model. The first time they meet you feel the the sparks flying. David’s assistant is not very happy with this budding romance. It is due to the fact that he has a crazy busy schedule and romance will get in the way. Who is going to win this battle, work or love?

K.G. Fletcher has another hit with The Nearness of you! The story leaves you feeling happy and believing in romance. The characters were easy to connect with and very believable. Her writing is descriptive and flows with ease. I highly recommend The Nearness of You!

Must Have Faith (Darling Cove Book 2) by Deborah Garland – Review by Dawn Daughenbaugh

Must Have Faith (Darling Cove #2)Must Have Faith by Deborah Garland
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

5 Star
Must have Faith ( Darling Cove Book 2) by Deborah Garland is the second book in her Darling Cove series. This is about second chances and I couldn’t stop reading till I finished. We met Greg and Faith in the first book and this is their story . These were just a few days from getting married until Faith left him at the Alt now ten years later. Are there feelings for one another still as strong? Can these two get a second chance at love ? I highly recommend reading this book. Can’t wait to read the next book in this series

The Fifth Knight (The Knights of Caerleon #1) by Jesikah Sundin & Claire Luana – Review by Cynthia Ayala

The Fifth Knight (The Knights of Caerleon #1)The Fifth Knight by Jesikah Sundin
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Incredible. Fans of the Legend of King Arthur will surely appreciate this novel and the complexities of it. What’s also great about this novel is the characterization. Fionna is unstoppable and incredible, and such a strong female character, very different from the usual damsels in distress that are common in Arthurian retellings. However, her story goes beyond just representing a strong female character; it also goes to the twist in the narrative surrounding Gwenevere. It’s an interesting set-up and plot twist for the story and sets up great tension in the story as it unfolds. Readers know the eventual outcome, anyone who knows about Arthur, Lancelot and Gwenevere see the result, but the journey there, the twist to that ending makes it captivating because there are so many avenues this story and plot twist could take, making it unpredictable.

Nevertheless, the story is about more than Fionna; it’s about the Arthurian legend and how it comes to life.

Sundin and Luana knew what they were doing when they decided to make this story a reverse harem. It’s a new genre that is gaining more and more traction as of late because its concept is to have one female character and have multiple men fall in love with her. Now, there are many ways this genre can be taken, in some ways, depending on the writer, it’s clear that the goal is to create something more erotic, lacking focus on storytelling. But then you have some incredible works that develop the genre and ground it, focusing on the story and character building. This is one of those novels. The romance doesn’t overwhelm the novel; it works to create tension and build the foundation of the story. The emotion in the story, the overwhelming sense of desire and love, the different analogies like “someone smelling like home,” they all work in tandem with one another to make sure the depth keeps the romance from falling into something cheesy or dated.

I’ll say this, I’ve never read a reverse harem novel, to be honest, didn’t think it would be my cup of tea, but like with any story, as long as it has powerful writing behind it and grounded storytelling, any genre can be anyone’s cup of tea. This novel is proof of that.
