The Taste of Light (The Winemakers Book 2) by Giovanna Siniscalchi – Review by Rebeca Elliott Figueiras

The Taste of Light (The Winemakers, #2)The Taste of Light by Giovanna Siniscalchi
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is the second book in the Winemaker series. You don’t have to read the series in order to understand the characters and stories. I myself read the first and third prior to this one. I would certainly recommend reading them all though.

This as with the other book in this series is very well written. I love the writing style, flows nicely and is descriptive creating a vivid picture of the scenes as they play out. The story is clearly researched adding the the realism that is felt while reading.

As usual, I loved the charcters, they were well-written and enjoyable. I got invested in Pedro and Anne’s story, their individual character developments, as well as their progression as a couple. I particularly liked the character of Anne, strong and determined in an adventure she wasn’t expecting.

I’m not surprised I loved this as much as I did, given how much I have enjoyed the entire series. I hope for more in future!

The Other Side of TogetherThe Other Side of Together by Emily Cox
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book utterly captured my attention from the moment I ready the blurb and yet nothing could have prepared me for how emotional I actually found this story to be! I loved Marcus and Mei Li. Their connection, their story and everything they were battling made them easily some of the best characters I have read about.
Everything in this story was so well told. It was artfully crafted by an author who clearly not only has a passion for writing by the skills to produced an amazing book. As soon as I started reading this book, I could not wait to see how things would turn out. I had to read it all in one sitting. This is a fantastic story and I would highly recommend it.

Deja Brew All Over Again: A Runaway Bride Romance (Love on Tap Series) by Sylvie Stewart – Review by Amanda Gonzalez

Deja Brew All Over Again: A Runaway Bride RomanceDeja Brew All Over Again: A Runaway Bride Romance by Sylvie Stewart
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Rough-around-the-edges male lead? Check. Runaway bride? Check. Throw in a few issues and the forced close-proximity and you have the perfect elements to a great story. This book was a lot of fun to read with lots of humor and banter to keep the reader thoroughly entertained. I deeply enjoyed the chemistry between Maisy and Miller, their relationship and interactions felt so natural. The main characters aside, I also fell in love with the side characters and their depth. Now I feel like I need to read the other two books since this one was so good.

Hidden Mischief (Shattered Embrace Series) by Alyndra Quinn – Review by Jenni Bishop

Hidden Mischief (Shattered Embrace #1)Hidden Mischief by Alyndra Quinn
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the first book I have read by this author and was excited to get stuck in because of reading the blurb.
Hidden Mischief is a sexy best friend’s brother romance where opposites attract.
It is a slow burn romance but does kick in. It’s a BDSM tale that takes you a little deeper than some of the other books out there. It takes us in to the world of a D/s relationship that is captivating and complex. It takes us into a world of some of the deepest desires.
Ashton is determined to explore her sexual side further. She is a contradiction in many ways. She is shy, a bit quiet, but also a little sassy and feisty and outspoken when she feels she needs to be.
Zac is sexy, dominant and a little possessive. All the girls want him, but he only wants her. I enjoyed the banter between them and his knowing how hard to push and take care of what is his and let there be no mistake she is his.
Some things were left off, but I am sure we will get to experience that in the next book that I am now eagerly awaiting.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This was a really emotional, raw read which covered so many topics from young forbidden love to secrets about immigration, pressure to confirm and do what your parents wish all the while putting your wants to the side. This book is beautifully written and I like how each chapter is told from either Marcus or Mei so you get the here the story from both of them.

Marcus has everything going for him. A heartthrob, great grades and a full scholarship with football. He could have any girl he wants, however his dad has put a stipulation in place. If he doesn’t get distracted by girls he will get a bike. So far this hasn’t been a problem until Mei.

Mei has family issues of her own. Her family have already got her paired up with Nick who is a lot older than her. However he is the way she can get access to the culinary school she so wishes to join. There is also something dark and sinister about Nick that by displeasing him could place her whole family at risk. Mei had settled her mind to the fact that Nick was her future until Marcus came and showed her another way.

Both of them feel a strong connection and as their secret communications increase these feelings grow. Do they even stand a chance to be together or are they setting themselves up for heartbreak? Can two people from different backgrounds and circumstances really work?
My heart broke several times reading this book as they both fight to be with each other, will they succeed? You’ll have to read it to find out.

Fade Into the Night (Philly Heat series, #5)Fade Into the Night by Becky Flade
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Another amazing story by this author – I really enjoyed it. I loved that the story is told through multiple POV’s I always find this enables me as a reader to fully understand each of the characters. It definitely helped in this story as I wasn’t too sure about Sadie’s character but it did enable me to kind of understand some of the ways she acted towards Noah. I really liked Noah – think I might be a little bit in love with him to be honest! He had a vulnerability that I liked about him.
There were some great twists and turns in the story which kept me guessing about what was going to happen and the action was there the whole way through.
Overall a great read and one that I would highly recommend.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I read this without reading the others in the series, I tried to look into them and believe they can all be read as standalone. Saying that it Such a good read! I have been binge watching Criminal Minds lately so I was pretty excited when I seen he was working for the BAU. The story never dragged on, right from the beginning you knew what was going on. The characters never played games with their feelings, which I loved. It was all straight to the point: “I don’t want to be around you, you’re not trusted and I want you here.” With books like these I always find myself trying to figure out who the killer is and what is going to happen next and I’m always glad when I am wrong. I like the unpredictability of the book, it was definitely one that was hard to put down.

A Second ChanceA Second Chance by Brooke May
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

An enjoyable and engaging second chance romance with a paranormal twist, which kept me happily turning the pages. Werewolf, Derek Sumerland is a member of the ‘Powder River Pack’ and met his fated mate at an early age, but then tragedy struck. He now just about gets through each day, regretting the fact that he didn’t fight for her or go after her. Meanwhile, Annabelle Daniels left her past behind her but still has a broken heart. When her estranged father is dying Annabelle reluctantly returns to Fetterman, Wyoming. She had not planned on seeing Derek but when she does, she finds that instead of the young man she loved, he is now an angry man, although still handsome. As fated mates neither of them can deny their connection, but Annabelle now has a life elsewhere and one which she has worked hard to achieve. The pair must decide if they can have a second chance together. The descriptive narrative brought the setting vividly to life making me feel immersed in the ‘Powder River Pack’s’ world. I loved the likeable and relatable characters, and I found the chemistry between Annabelle and Derek really came across in the narrative. I look forward to future books in this new series.

Resisting NatureResisting Nature by Brooke May
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

An enjoyable and exciting paranormal romance, featuring wolf shifters and fated mates, which had me hooked from start to finish. This is the fourth book featuring the werewolves of the ‘Powder River Pack’, but it can be read as a standalone story. Alexa Hart is starting over in a new town far away from the troubles of her past and has a promising new career to focus on. She’s not looking for a relationship but then she meets Miles and just can’t deny their instant connection. Although shifter Miles Fischer is known as a lady’s man, as soon as he meets Alexa, he knows she’s, his mate. However, finding out that Miles is a shifter is too much for Alexa after her last relationship and she pushes him away. Miles is prepared to fight for her and when the mysteries from her past are discovered he’s willing to fight that too. Once again, I was immersed in the world of the ‘Powder River Pack’ as the descriptive narrative brings both the setting and the characters vividly to life. The chemistry between Miles and Alexa sizzled off the page, and I love a fated mate romance!

What an amazing story. I was pulled in shortly after I started it. This will have you feeling all the emotions. There are secrets being hdiden from these two. All they want is to be able to go on with their lifes and things are so out of their control. Can they make the right decision? Is it worth the cost. The story is written in such a beautiful way. It’s engaging and you can’t put it down once you start. You want to know what happens with them. I can’t recommend this story enough. I would love to read more from these two authors.

Quite the intriguing tale. Ashton and Zachary shared every bit of their story with us. I feel like I knew every little detail including the BDSM dom/sub sex thing. As a story, it kept me engaged and wanting to follow it. The whole BDSM isn’t my angle but if this is your genre, this would be a story worth going for. The whole gang enveloped Ashton like she was one of them. She is very strong. I was quite surprised to learn she was a retired person from that arena. It’s a steamy romance with really good characters, a good story and worth your time to purchase and read. Just the descriptions of Ashton alone will make you drop your jaw and have a new book boyfriend.

I read through the prequel and loved it. I devoured this book in record time. It’s not necessary to read the prequel, but it would be a great benefit. It made a lot more sense knowing the backstory. The cliff is high and the drop off the cliff is steep, But worth every second of. Isla has done it again with this fantastic book in the Hidden Valley world.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Deja Brew had me laughing out loud. The characters are great. The family drama is real and so funny. Mango is just a delight. Cash was out to break hearts and take names.

Maisy has everything on the line. Her brother, her future, her dad’s approval all hinge on this one little thing that she is about to do. She just can’t bring herself to do it. All she has to do is walk down the aisle and say, “I do.” But, she can’t. Maisy doesn’t know how she will figure out any of the rest of the stuff but she does the one thing that she can. She runs. In her wedding dress and all. Maisy lands herself in the least expected place of all. Miller’s car.

Miller is getting out of the courthouse for something he has not told his family about when he is sitting in the car and she opens his doors, sits down, and tells him to take off. Miller doesn’t know who she is or what is going on, but he puts the pedal to the metal. Miller can’t hide his attraction to this beauty that just plopped herself into his life. While Miller is trying to figure out how to right a few wrongs from his past, he needs to figure out what is chasing this bride and how to protect her.

As Maisy fights to keep her brother, Miller is haunted by his past. As Miller and Maisy grow closer, their problems try to tear them apart. When Maisy has to make a choice of a lifetime, Miller is devastated. Miller finds a way to help Maisy and Cash. So cute!!

This is an amazing addition to this fabulous series. Love the characters. Love the family. Love the humor. Can’t wait for Lynn’s story!! If you haven’t already found a reason to jump into this series, this is it. Maisy, Miller and Cash will win you over in a heartbeat.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book had it’s grasp on me from the very beginning. I’m usually a very slow reader, but once I got started with this one I couldn’t put it down. I love the characters and their personalities, the banter between Maisey and Miller, and the quirky funny personality of her little brother Bear. There were a couple spicy scenes between the main characters, but they were pretty mild in my opinion, which is great because I’m not much into heavy smut. I think Miller made a great cinnamon roll character. The rumored bad boy with a sweet side determined to protect the people close to him. There were some good twists in the story as well with Miller’s past chasing him down and Maiseys overbearing parents. Overall I really loved the book and will definitely be reading more from this author

This was a quick, fun, slow burn beach read and I really enjoyed it! The main character Giuliani and her best friend Morgan meet every year for their birthday at a resort in Turks and Caicos. They enjoy the sunny vacation while it is cold and snowy in their hometowns. This is their 10th year doing it and they are excited! Giuliani hears that Morgan is delayed by snow and will be there by herself for the first few days. On the flight they hit turbulence and she ends up in a creepy old guy’s lap, but the cute guy behind her catches her eye and they share some fun banter. Then they figure out they are both headed to the same resort. Landon is going to the island to take care of business after his uncle passed away. He was not expecting to meet a beautiful woman that he wants to spend so much time with. Giuliani and Morgan had a pact, no men, on their trip but as Morgan is engaged and they are now more mature, Morgan pushes her to see Landon and find out where it could lead. Will it be just a vacation hookup? It says another book is coming this year and I will definitely pick it up!
