Romance in Rehoboth Boxed Set by K.L Montgomery – Review by Angela Hayes

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

 

Romance in Rehoboth is a three-book box set containing the first three books in this terrific series. The series is comprised of full-length, standalone stories, and each book centres on its own particular character/couple. The stories differ storyline, feel and tone- but they all are set against the backdrop of Rehoboth Beach, Delaware.
The books range from learning self-acceptance/loving yourself, believing in yourself/following your dreams, and finding your soulmate- all played out by interesting, quirky, and endearing characters who learn and grow as their story plays out. There is some drama, humour, romance, angst, body-positive messages, fun, and originality.

Fat Girl (Romance in Rehoboth Series Book #1)
We follow as Claire Sterling goes on a journey of self discovery and acceptance. Finding herself in looking 40 in the face, having weight issues, and being newly divorced. A lovely story that stayed with me long after I had finished.

The Flip (Romance in Rehoboth Series Book #2)
The is a fantastic enemies to lovers story. We meet Andrew and Sonnet who have a history and who find themselves the joint beneficiaries of a Will- inheriting a house they decide to Flip. What happens when renovation turns to romance? A great read!

Plot Twist (Romance in Rehoboth Series Book #3)
Lindy and Meric take us along for the ride as they follow their dreams in this wonderful backstage romance. An original, and worthy addition to the series. One of my favourites!

Ms. Montgomery really is a gifted storyteller, easily able to pull readers into her story and keeping them connected and hooked the whole way through. I love how her stories depicts characters who are realistic, relatable, and entirely believable.
This box set really is worth your time and money, not only is it a great buy, you get three wonderful, full length stories to dive into and enjoy.

Thank you, Ms. Montgomery!

Must Love Fashion (Darling Cove Book 1) by Deborah Garland – Review by Susan Mowdy

Must Love Fashion (Darling Cove #1)Must Love Fashion by Deborah Garland
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

What an amazing way to start a new series! I was completely hooked into t his story to the point I couldn’t put it down to make dinner (my kids had to live with leftovers that night).

Gwen applies to Must Love fashion ad and is having such the trying year. Between her mother’s fight with cancer and her divorce, something good needs to happen in her life. Andrew is an Ex model who is suffering the loss of his wife. When he returns to work he realizes that he must share his office with Gwen and he wasn’t happy about that.

The chemistry between Gwen and Andrew was amazing (even from the beginning). I loved the heart felt journey these two embarked on. It was heartfelt but so beautiful to see these two find each other during a rough time in their lives. I cannot wait to read more of this series!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the third book in this series,I highly suggest reading them all. I enjoy the characters as the author’s attention to detail makes them come alive and pop off the pages. One of the great things is when the author brings great characters back into the current book, I love seeing them. Bryce just got a promotion and Alexis has put a wall around her and the secret that she keeps. Letting him in could mean danger, I highly recommend reading this book to find out what happens.

This is my first book by this author and I found it to be a fast, engaging story from beginning to end. I enjoyed how it left me sitting on the edge of my seat just waiting to see what would happen next. I enjoyed the creative characters that made me feel part of the story.

The Nearness of You by K.G. Fletcher a five-star read that you won’t want to put down. I have read a few reads by this author and I have to admit this one was my favourite, I couldn’t put it down. On the surface you would think that David and Lauren could be quite self-centred and selfish as he is a hot model and she is a talented singer, but they aren’t and that’s the joy of this story, they have their moments but still they will make you fall for them as they fall for each other, there is a sizzle and spark that will keep you hooked.

The Fifth Knight (The Knights of Caerleon Series #1) by Jesikah Sundin, Claire Luana – Review by Anna Hirsch

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

The Fifth Knight (The Knights of Caerleon #1) by Jesikah Sundin, Claire Luana
5 Stars

This book revolves around the legend of King Arthur and the Knights of the round table. In Celtic mythology, there is a claim the the Tuatha De Danann (The Fae) had a hand in Arthur becoming king. The book incorporates that theory into the story. Not only do we have Arthur and his gorgeous knights but we have the Fae and the magic of Merlin and Morgana all in one exciting story.

Morgana has cursed Excalibur and the kingdom of Caerleon. Merlin has foreseen a fifth knight breaking the curse. Never in their wildest dreams did they think that it would be a female knight. Fiona is captivating with her otherworldly beauty. Though small, she is a fierce warrior who has stolen the Knights’ hearts. She is fated to be the one to lead them to the holy grail that will break the curse upon the land.

This is supposed to be a reverse harem book but compared to others that I have read, this one is pretty tame. Considering that Lancelot is cursed and Perceval has taken a vow of chastity, the situation makes it impossible for Fiona to be with all four. Since this is the first book in the Knights of Caerleon series, I’m assuming that there will be a slow build up until the reverse harem can be fully realized.

I did enjoy the book tremendously seeing as it was steeped in legend and mythology. The characters are strong and unique in their personalities. I think the authors did a brilliant job reinventing a story about King Arthur by incorporating historical facts. The attention to details in the vivid descriptions had me feeling like I was there as well. I was drawn in from the beginning until it ended. I was upset that it ended and eagerly await the next part in the series.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

My Hidden Life: Brothers of Camelot Prequel by Necie Navone is the first book in the My Life Series. This is a coming of age story about Alessandra. She is a typical girl who struggles finding her own normal in her family. Her family is not the normal family as they are part of the Italian mob. Being picked to run the family when she gets older was fun at first but she wishes to be that normal teenager. This all happens due to a boy she met and likes. What will happen to Alessandra?

What a great start to the series. The story is told from different POV’s which definitely keeps you turning the page to see what will happen next. My Hidden Life has suspense, drama and action. The characters are well developed and very believable. I cannot wait to read the next book in the My Life Series.

Small Town Hero (Small Town Brides 1) by Kim Koby – Review by Sarah Oakes

Small Town Hero (Small Town Brides, #1)Small Town Hero by Kim Koby
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

A great read about kindness. After finding out her fiancée cheated on her, Rebecca runs away in her car with no destination in mind. When her car breaks down, a local man Ryan comes to her rescue. She is hesitant at first, as a stranger in a new town, but soon realises there are little other options in the middle of nowhere. While her car is being fixed, she stays at his house for a few days. Will her time there make her think things through?
A great read. Well developed plot. Well developed characters like Rebecca’s harsh exterior but kind nature underneath or Ryan doing the right thing and supportive nature. Also a sweet dog called Chief who will melt your heart.
I loved the visual detail throughout the novel like with Ryan’s little house small but full of colour with gravel path and the garden and kitchen as a cosy place or the calming natural imagery in scenes on the back porch under the stars as a safe space away from it all. I also loved the use of contrasts throughout the novel like city and country, New Jersey and Tennessee, busy and quiet or dressy and casual wear which were combined to perfection to display the differences between the two. and amde for a captivating read. The only issue i would raise is that sometimes the dialogue was repetitive and I felt a conflict int he middle such as the mechanics not having parts or something would have made the ending stronger. Overall, a great read and I would give it four stars.

The Nearness of You by K.G Fletcher
4 Stars

I love this author! I have read several of her books and have never been disappointed. This one is another winner. This is a love story between Lauren Rose (a lounge singer) and David Randle (a British supermodel). They meet unexpectedly while he’s in town for his sister’s wedding. They hit it off while having drinks after her gig at the St. Regis Hotel. On a spur of the moment decision, David decides to invite her as his guest to the wedding. They have instant chemistry and bond rather quickly. They are both falling hard and fast for each other and despite their conflicting schedules, decide to make a go of it.

Not everyone is happy about their budding relationship and David’s assistant Sabrina causes major problems for Lauren. I felt so bad for her. From the beginning of the book, I loved Lauren and my heart broke for her. I cried with some of the things that she had to endure. I really didn’t like Sabrina! I loved this book and found it was a quick read seeing as I couldn’t put it down.

SILK ROAD (Code Raven, #6)SILK ROAD by Lynda Filler
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is the first book I’ve read in this series and while it is the sixth book, I was able to easily distinguish who is who based on the guide on page one and the detail given with each character’s introduction. I never had that “lost feeling” while reading SILK ROAD.

Even though this is fiction, it makes me sad that all of the elements of the story are, in fact, true and “we” have just turned a blind eye to it because “it’s not my family”.

The story held my attention from the very first word to the very last. It has intrique and suspense. It’s well written and flows quickly from beginning to end .

At times, this story reads like a travel journal taking us to beautiful and dangerous countries. There are so many locations this book takes place and the author does an amazing job introducing each locale.

I recommend this book and will be checking out the others in the series.

The Fifth Knight: An Arthurian Legend Reverse Harem Romance (The Knights of Caerleon series Book 1) by Jesikah Sundin and Claire Luana is a fantasy romance and is an interesting twist to the story of King Arthur and his knights and Merlin. I must admit as I started to read I thought here we go, another knights of the round table, it’s been done to death, but no Jesikah and Claire have written a unique tale which includes a woman as the fifth knight and how they each react to this startling revelation. The action and the flow of the words kept me fully engaged. Fionna is a kick arse sassy heroine and the knights are fun and playful and hot to boot but with a woman in the mix it certainly livens things up. Like every story there are villains and dark fae adding to the complexity of the quintet and their task.

The story Sailors Knot (Eastern Shore Swingers Book 4) by Phoebe Alexander is an amazing romance book that I loved reading. This is a story that hooked me in from the very beginning and I didn’t want to put it down until I had read the final page. I have always loved the character of Casey Fontaine since the first book and am so happy that her story is now told. Casey is a larger than life character who has a wonderful personality. She is outgoing and also welcoming to those she meets. She is especially close to friends Leah and Paisley. Casey is battling cancer and her friends have come to see her. Not however without some baggage in their lives and relationships. Casey unravels the story about her past and the two men who were an important part in it. Will this story help both Leah and Paisley with their situation? With her thinking about the past what will happen if she finds herself with a second chance at happiness? Read this story to find out. Casey’s story is one about love and also patience. It also tells of intolerance and the closed minds that people had to the love between two men and one woman. This book also has many hot and steamy scenes. Casey’s story has plenty of passion and desire that is shown by her and her men for each other. There are some heartbreaking moments as well as heartwarming ones as well. It is a story that I found myself thinking about long after I had finished the book. Wonderfully written with amazing characters you do not want to miss out on this story. Highly recommended.

The story Bound by Blood (Crescent City Wolf Pack Book 3) by Carrie Pulkinen is a paranormal romance book. It is the next amazing story in a series that I have loved since I read the first book. You are hooked into this story from the very beginning and I didn’t want to put it down until I had read the last page. I loved reading about the characters of Bryce Samuels and Alexis Gentry. Bryce has been a homicide detective, however, he really wants to save people’s lives when they are in need. He earns a promotion to a job that does just that. Bryce also has never been able to get Alexis out of his mind. Conversations and invites to her have been extended. He wants to get to know her better. Then she shows up at his door after an attack by her ex. An invitation to say with him is given. His emotions towards her are strong. Will Bryce act on his feelings for Alexis? Alexis is a woman who is strong, independent, smart, and stubborn. She is also labeled a rogue and has a bad habit of running when she becomes afraid. Will Alexis allow Bryce into her heart? Bryce doesn’t know about the supernatural world that is all around him. What will happen if he learns the truth? Will Alexis and Bryce have a chance at happiness together? Will they get an HEA? Read this book to find out. This story has mystery, drama, suspense, and danger. A combination that kept me turning pages to find out what happens next. There are also some steamy scenes included with the book that will make the temperature in the room rise. This is a story that I loved reading and would gladly give it more than a 5 if I could.

The PlotThe Plot by Melinda De Ross
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The Plot by Melinda De Ross is a fantastic romantic thriller. On reading the blurb I thought that this book would be right up my street and I was so right. The storyline gripped me from the very first page and had me hooked until the very last page.
Yoko Hirano came to the US from Japan at the age of 18. She thought she was starting a new life working as a nanny, only to discover that couldn’t be further from the truth. She’d been brought by the leader of a triad to become a prostitute. 4 years on she’s seeking revenge and wants to bring Michael Chen’s organisation down.
When she gets a job with antique dealer Mark Chandler, she can’t believe her luck when she discovers that he has underground dealings with Chen and together they plan to bring him down.
The story of how they plan to bring him down is fascinating. It will have you on the edge of your seat wondering if their plan will work or if they will be discovered and feel the wrath of Chen.
I also loved the love story between Yoko and Mark. Having been forced into prostitution, Yoko despises men and sees sex as a cruel brutal act. It’s wonderful to see Mark break down these barriers and show her that sex can be a beautiful act between 2 people. It’s also lovely to see him gain her trust and eventually her love.
This is the first time I have read anything by this author and if this book is anything to go by, then it won’t be the last.

Must Be CrazyMust Be Crazy by Deborah Garland
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This the third book in the Darling Cove Series. I think it’s important to read the first two books of the series as there are references made that would be helpful to have knowledge of the characters and events mentioned.

Darling Cove is a small community which still has fairs with pig races and cotton candy and all the other things that makes small towns so much fun.

He is the Fire Chief and she is a lawyer. Together they make sparks. Throw in an adorable son and cute dog and you’ve got a situation that will cause ovaries weep.

This is a story that has multiple story lines (and lots of babies) all working at the same time (much like life). While I absolutely understand the direction the story was going in there were times that it was just “too much”. As a woman who has a “son of my heart” instead of a biological son I 100% understood and related to Skye and Jules relationship.

This is a quick read as were the other books in the series.

I belong in a small town. Everyone knows your name and is willing to lend you a hand. Ryan was my dream guy. He seemed like a breeze sifting through the trees. Built like a brick house. Plus he’s a firefighter. Rebecca was a brat at first but you learn to like her. She has been through a lot and Lord knows it’s never easy when your life gets turned upside down. I felt her pain on many levels through this story. If it wasn’t for my kids I would’ve moved to some unknown place just so I could breath again. I liked that the author didn’t rush the characters. But at some points the characters didn’t feel like they had much depth to them. The characters romance was like a slow burn and it made it seem more real in a way.

ByC.A. King
My Rating: 5 of 5 stars

Truly Unfortunate (Welcome To Knollville Book 1) by C.A. King was a fast moving, mind twisting, paranormally weird read, that had me hooked from start to finish.

Not my first read form this author, and I’m am fast becoming to like C.A. King’s writing style and the way they delivery a chilling story. I’m still trying to piece it all together, as some things don’t add up, but do all the same.

This book is something I will tell you. The ending really got me, cause, man, I don’t know what was really true. What the hell was Truly? Was she paranormal, or was she, simply, crazy. With all that had happen to her I was hoping she would get a sort of happy ending, but I guess, it was sort of bitter-sweet.

But enough of that, cause I don’t want to spoil a thing about this spine tingling thriller. This book, as dark and gritty, and mind twisty as it is, still has a strange message. One that fits, and one that also makes you feel so much for Truly. With such a short read, you think something like fully developing a character would slip, but not with Truly. From the jumping back to her past, matching with the present and fully diving into her hellish life. You see all her layers and wondering more and more about her, and if life had it out for her. Whatever the truth, I believe that Truly is where she belongs. Even if she pulled of, what the Doc thinks she did, I’m happy with it, because frankly, like this books said a few times; sometimes fate has a way of evening itself out.

Overall this book is a must read. The smooth dark writing mix with the cutscenes and the lurking darkness, makes this psychological thriller gripping, addicting and pulling. The tone of doom is set from the first chapter, and you can’t help but root for that darkness because not everything is black and white.This book is a haze of grey and as I have said, you’re not going to be rooting for the whole, “good shall conquer all” trope. No, you’re going to be rooting for a unseen force, and hoping that the grey haze will pave a better way for Truly.

So please take my super high recommendation that you will get lost in the darkness that will have you questions everything around you.

Happy Reading

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Siren call was a good 4 star read and the third book in the Eastern Shore Swingers series.
This is an erotic read with F/F storyline.

Jessie is a police officer with some not so great things in her past. She discovered that she was gay while she was in the academy and is a member of “The Factory” a swingers club, thanks to her friend Paisley. When a new member of “The Factory” starts to cause some concern, Jessie is asked to keep an eye on her.

Sirena recently joined the club and she seems to be drinking a lot and leaves with someone different every night. There is something about her that intrigues Jessie, so she is more than happy to help her friends.

Love recognizes no barriers. It jumps hurdles, leaps fences, penetrates walls to arrive at its destination full of hope. – Maya Angelou

There is so much more to this read. As Jessie gets to know Sirena we get a look at each of their pasts and it’s heartbreaking what each of these women went through. They also have some very steamy moments together and at the club. There are twists and secrets revealed that added a great element to the story. I enjoyed the ending which includes a HEA. If your looking for a good series with some hot romance, 1-click and get started today. Each book can be read as a stand alone but I suggest you read them from the beginning.

This book can be read as a stand alone, but I highly recommend you read the series in order because the books are all great reads and you will miss some big parts of the backstory. This book is full of mystery, suspense, horror and disturbing situations. This book is Detective Petrovsky’s story that started ten years earlier with his young daughters rape and murder.

Small Town Hero is the first book in Kim Koby’s Small Town Brides’ series. It is the first book I have read by this writer so I was not so sure what to expect after reading the blurb … I expected a sweet, a simple love story about love and lost and betrayal and new beginnings. And it was all this. It was a bit too simple for me and I like more complex characters and more layers in my love stories but at the same time I would say that if you just need couple of hours to get your head into something else that makes you feel good, the book does its job!
Small Town Hero is the story of Rebecca and Ryan – Rebecca gets stranded in Tennessee where Ryan is a local firefighter. So you throw together a city girl and a small town hero and you get the ‘opposites attract’ storyline … yes, it is predictable but heck, sometimes you do need something simple to warm your heart and it not a bumpy ride that leaves you emotionally drained!
I am looking forward to checking out the second book in the series to see also how the writer evolves in her writing.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Romance in Rehoboth Boxed Set (Books 1-3) By K.L. Montgomery. I loved these books, each one a little more. They are all based on strong, independent women who struggle with self image and good looking, strong men. They are set in the quaint beach town of Rehoboth where tons of people head for vacations in Delaware. My favorite was Plot Twist the 3rd book in the series. Its about a guy named Meric Chandler a newly divorced accountant and Lindy Larson a plus size teacher who can sing beautifully. Jack & Claire from the first book Fat Girl, write a play for a summer showcase and Lindy & Meric try out for parts. They both get the parts and end up really liking each other but Lindy can’t imagine anyone as good looking as Meric having any interest in her. The story is funny and fast paced. Lindy and Meric end up becoming very good friends and they are both wanting more but are too afraid to act on it. These books are full of positive self image messages for ladies and I loved that about them. Read 1 or 2 or read all 3 you won’t regret it!

The Plot by Melinda De Ross – Review by Heather Bahm

The PlotThe Plot by Melinda De Ross
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The Plot, by Melinda De Ross, is a romantic suspense with a revengeful cast of characters. This is not a clean and beautifully sweet romance, this is a story that is dirty and raw, touching on topics that you will not find in a happy little bubble. Yoko has experienced unimaginable events in her life and strives to find something more while destroying pieces of her past as they attempted to tear her apart. In comes Mark, like a knight in shining armor ready to defend her honor with his last breath. Is there light that can survive among all the dark that has fallen with Yoko’s life? This story truly shows what the promise of hope can give another if only offered the chance to grab on.
