Reckless Love: A Small Town Slow-Burn Forbidden Love Romance (The Bennetts of Langston Falls Book #4)Reckless Love: A Small Town Slow-Burn Forbidden Love Romance by K.G. Fletcher
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the 4th book in The Bennets of Langston Falls Series. You will definately want to read these books from the beginning so you get a complete picture of the Bennet family and the ups and downs of their lives so far.
I have loved this author’s writing. These romances are slow burn story’s but the writing is beautiful and I really find myself captured by these characters and their stories as they struggle and strive to find love.
In this story we focus on the sister to the Bennet Brothers Becky.
Becky has been taking care of her brothers and father for a long time. As anyone with brothers know they are definately over protective of Becky which has the disadvantage of making dating and meeting someone tricky. She has been through the ups and downs alongside her brothers so she knows all about the fallout with Glen and she isn’t ready to forgive. Even if her brothers are.

Glen is trying to rebuild his life after drugs and alcohol turned him into someone everyone hated. As he makes Amends with his one time friends he also trys to kindle the friendship with Becky.
As the pair start to spend time together feelings start to grow which shock them both but neither of them can fight. As they work towards building bridges and the fires of the love start to burn there are still things that could come up that will threaten to tear this pair apart.

Will Becky’s brothers accept their relationship? Has Glen really become a changed man? Is their budding romance strong enough to withstand the pressures that will be thrown at it?
This is a beautiful enemies to lovers romance that will definately grip your heart. Seeing Glen’s character develop through the series to now had me preying he finally finds his happiness, however the path of love is never smooth and this couple will definately have a few bumps to contend with along the way.

Beautiful Dangerous (Philly Heat series, #4)Beautiful Dangerous by Becky Flade
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the fourth book in the Philly Heat series, focussing on Hannah and Doyle. I really do enjoy how different each story is in the series, it keeps the series engaging and fresh.
I liked how this one was written. I enjoyed the others too, but it was the way the stalker was written and revealed which makes this one stand out to me. The twist was very well written.
Both Hannah and Doyle have faced their share of trauma and Hannah’s stalker situation is still ongoing, worsening even. This shapes their views, actions and development well as the story progresses. As characters they were both likable and relatable, and I couldn’t help but root for a happily ever after for the pair. Given everything that happens both prior to and during the story just go to show how strong these characters are and determined to reach the other end of this awful situation.
My heart really went out to Hannah given everything she’d been through already with her brother’s murder, to experience a stalker who only worsens must be so distressing and difficult. I really admired her strength.
Unfortunately, I’ll all caught up with the series now even though I desperately want more. I can’t wait for another to be released so I can get my hands on it. In the meantime, I will be looking out for more from the author.

Whisper Creek (A Logan McKenna Mystery Book 7)Whisper Creek by Valerie Davisson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Valerie Davisson has done it again! She has written another great book in the Logan McKenna Series! This is a full-length story filled with its fair share of mystery and crime, and it’s one you won’t want to miss reading. If you have never read any of the Logan McKenna Series, I recommend you go back and read in order to keep caught up and to be ready for this one.
Logan is engaged! Logan and Ben are about to start a new journey to their lives together, but she feels like she needs a place to get away and have some r&r before her big day……little does she know, that isn’t in the cards for her. Logan travels to Oregon to visit friends, and she finds much more than she could have ever anticipated! This is where the story starts to take a turn and gets really good! I mean what do you expect when there’s a dead body, mystery, suspense, friends and family?! All of this makes for a page turning story! Can Logan find the answers, catch the true suspect and solve the mystery, or will Logan fail in her mission to solve the crime that is at hand? There’s only one way to find out, and that is to get a copy of the book and read it for yourself!

Beautiful Dangerous: Philly Heat Series by Becky Flade- 5 out of 5 stars

This book grabbed my attention and held it until the last page. The fourth book in this series and all of the books can be read as stand alones or in order. Hannah and Doyle do not necessarily like eachother mainly because of her occupation and him being a cop. When Doyle becomes her bodyguard to protect her from her crazy stalker, they have the opportunity to get to know eachother better, building a bond, and it drove her crazy stalker absolutely mad. This was a great book full of so many ups and downs, I loved it.

Yesterday's Over (Philly Heat series, #3)Yesterday’s Over by Becky Flade
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the third book in the Philly Heat series, focusing on Ben and Trudy. I enjoyed the move from focusing on police officers to medical examiners/anthropologists, it was a refreshing addition to the series as the investigation elements are still there.
Trudy and Ben are great characters, my favourite of the two being Trudy. She’s strong and determined to get to the bottom of the mystery behind the bones which have been uncovered. She’s willing to take the risk to ensure the truth is uncovered and I admire that about her. I do like Ben; he grew on me as the story progressed and I got to know him better. I could start to see why he was acting in the way he was and admired his want to protect Trudy.
This was another engaging read in the series and I can’t believe I’m almost caught up already. I can’t wait for more!

Fall to Pieces (Philly Heat series, #2)Fall to Pieces by Becky Flade
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the second book in the Philly Heat series, this time following detective Alexandra and Detective Xavier’s story. This is a darker book than the first so if darker themes e.g., suicide, child murder, abuse etc is not something you are comfortable reading about, I would advise you not to read this book.
The plot was interesting, I found that I was unable to put the book down as I became immersed. The way things unfolded, I couldn’t get enough, I thought this one was even better than the first.
Both Alex and Xavier each have their own traumas in their pasts and it creates well-rounded, complex characters. Their development is clear as the narrative unfolds, as does their relationship. The characters are believable in their priorities and how they respond to events (and each other) to bring the killer to justice.
This was a great addition to the series and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Moving straight onto the next book!

This is book is so many things…historical fiction, romance, western, LGBT+, thriller, mystery…I feel like it has it all! And it’s not a small undertaking either…this is a big ole book. But don’t let that deter you from picking it up. Liverpool has built this fantastical world for her characters and she takes her time really getting into her characters and developing them and letting them figure out who they are and what they want. I thoroughly enjoyed this book WAAAYYYY more than I even anticipated it would. It did take me a little while to get into, but once I did, I had a hard time putting it down. It’s a great coming-of-age saga, but it’s also so much more. I really can’t recommend this book enough. Pick it up for yourself…just allow yourself time to really get into to it and appreciate it.

This is an educational book geared towards children in learning how to be around dogs. It has beautiful illustrations and the way it is laid out is engaging and fun to read. Going through all the ways to be safe around dogs is so important – as a dog owner myself, I know that bad things can happen if dogs aren’t approached in a safe way. This is a high recommend for parents to read with their children – even if you aren’t a dog owner.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the first book in the Philly Heat series. In this book we follow the story of police officer Kaylee and criminal Jayson.
I enjoyed the plot of this book, it had me engaged and invested. The twists were great and fit so well into the story.
I enjoyed the characters of Kaylee and Jayson in particular; both are strong and determined characters and their chemistry leaps off the page. They were well developed with their shared past and the complex emotions that arise from that and the way they attempt to navigate these feelings and obstacles felt believable. There were moments were I just wanted to knock some sense into them, but the way I came to care for them both goes to show the author’s skill at created great characters that you can’t help but become emotionally invested in.
This was an enjoyable start to the series and I can’t wait to read the rest!

#lovealwayswins
Reckless Love is the fourth book in the wonderful ‘The Bennetts of Langston Falls’ Series by K.G Fletcher. I feel like every time I review one of Ms. Fletcher’s books that I am repeating myself, because there are only so many ways to say ‘she keeps outdoing herself with each new book she releases’, ‘I LOVE this story’ ‘I think it might be one of her best yet’, ‘she had me swooning while all the emotion strummed at my heart strings’, ‘this is another example of why Ms. Fletcher is on my automatic one-click, no questions asked author list’. But it’s all true, and I am having trouble finding the words to do her book/stories the justice that they deserve.
The Bennet’s of Langston Falls is a really fantastic series, each member of the family get their own book, and each one (so far) has captured my heart along the way. This is Becky Bennett’s story – and it’s a fabulous slow-burn, small town, enemies to lovers, romance with all the ingredients needed to make it a captivating read. This book could be read as standalone, but I highly recommend reading the previous books before starting on this one, as they are all superb stories in their own right, and they will all make you feel like you want to stay in Langston Falls and have a Christmas tree farm, listen to music, and hang out with good friends.
Another wonderful, contemporary romance with plenty of emotion, chemistry, sizzle, a little drama, forgiveness, redemption, family, taking a chance on love, and much more.
Can’t wait for more!
Happy Reading!

Thank you, K.G. Fletcher!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This author shows us a different side to the bubbly, caretaking sister Becky Bennett in this one. It is great to see Becky living for herself and finding what she has been missing in her life, love.

Becky has been the caretaker of her dad and 4 brothers since her mother died. She has a successful YouTube channel, she is in talks for a cookbook, she is an event planner on the family farm. Becky has accomplished many of her dreams at a young age. What she is missing is love and companionship. It is hard for her to believe but in the midst of all those people, she is lonely.

Glen Kirby has been through so much and has been the cause of so much pain for the Bennett family. Now, Glen is 8 months sober, working with Walt to create an apple wine blend, regaining his family farm, and rebuilding a truck in his spare time. One day out of the blue, Becky Bennett brings him a homemade apple pie and his life is changing. Becky agrees to be friendly which turns into legitimate friends.

As the friendship deepens, both Becky and Glen realize it could be so much more. The biggest obstacle is her family. They all say they have forgiven Glen. But is that the truth? Do they trust him? Can they see past the man Glen was to see who he is now? When true feelings come out, Becky and Glen are tested.

The author handled Glen’s internal struggle with his addiction with class, humanity, and realism. I want James’ book. I need James’ book. I don’t want James’ book. That means this beautiful series will end. Each book has been heartfelt, had amazing character, and beautifully written. Worth every minute you spend reading and re-reading this series.

My rating: 3 of 5 stars

 

3 Stars

 

Lottery of Secrets by Nadija Mujagic is the first book in an intriguing new series. I am always up for a good thriller, so I happily jumped right in.
Imagine winning BIG in the lottery, but then find that instead of enjoying ‘the good life’, your world crumbles into a dangerous, paranoid mess. Well, that’s exactly what happen to Lynn- and we follow along in a race against time to unravel everything before it’s too late.
This is a psychological suspense, with drama, mystery, twisty details, paranoia, secrets, danger, and more. I did find the story intriguing, and as the first book in a series, I can see the potential yet to come. For most part it was an engrossing read. But I didn’t find it as psychologically twisty as I had anticipated. I really wanted to be on the edge of my seat, clamouring to find out what happens next- but that wasn’t the case here. It was definitely intriguing, and had some gripping, twisted moments- but I felt the story was much slower, a little more frustrating, and more predictable than I had expected.
There were some unexpected developments which kept me turning the pages to find out how it all played out- and I am interested to see what happens in the rest of the series as there are still some questions that need answering.
Happy Reading…

Thank you, Nadija Mujagic!

5 Stars 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Forgiveness, love, redemption, secrets, family and trust…..this is the story that I loved of Becky Bennett and Glen Kirby. Reckless Love gave me all the feels of a slow burn romance, learning “patient love” and I love feeling like I am part of this family with each book of the series. While this book could be read as a standalone, I highly recommend reading this series from the begging to get to know the Bennett family as everyone should.

Knowing your past may haunt you, Glen Kirby is trying to make amends piecing his life back together day by day trying to get his farm back. Becky takes care of all the Bennett brothers and her father while they are all working at their family farm. Knowing how successful her cooking show is, Becky longs for simplicity in life…never knowing that around the corner Glen Kirby is there. Becky needs to start with forgiveness toward Glen and his past….but when slowly her walls come down an unexpected spark forms between them. The Bennett brothers are totally against this romance, but that does not stop Becky and Glen. Will the brothers come between Becky and Glen even though they forgave Glen for his past or will Becky and Glen defy all odds and get the HEA that they want and deserve?

I LOVED this book so much and I am already looking forward to Book 5!!! This series is fantastic.

The suspense happens close to the beginning and doesn’t let up. Hannah and Doyle meet under less than perfect circumstances and it causes them to be thrown together quite a bit while he protects her.

My heart hurt for Hannah, she loses her brother than the stalker steps things up and it completely upends her world. The fear and terror she must have felt while it was happening isn’t something I would ever want to feel.

Doyle is a good guy who deals with bad guys pretty regularly, he latest case drained happiness and life from him.

There was one scene early on that had me double checking things were shut and locked. Felt like I was part of it and could understand her fears.

I have been keeping up with this series and there is always a little something that surprises me which I love.

What a lovely holiday book! The main character, Lizzie, bails out a friend and buys her nonrefundable ticket to Australia over the Christmas holiday. She doesn’t want to tell her family that she lost her job and her roommate all in one week so she decides to avoid it. She arrives in Australia and is walking along the water when she suddenly is hit in the face with a ball and meets Jaz. Jaz is a single dad of two and an ex professional surfer. They run into each other again at his coffee shop a few days later and Jaz invites Lizzie to a holiday BBQ with friends. There are sparks, but she is only there a few weeks before returning to her life. This was a sweet and clean romance. I liked meeting all of the different characters, which I imagine is what Australia is like with locals, tourists, and many travelers just staying for a short time. I spent one Christmas in California and it didn’t feel like Christmas to me since I was used to one in the PNW, so I know what Lizze is feeling since her holiday is so different from what she usually experiences in London. I can’t wait to read more from this author!

CJ and Lora want everyone to know how to properly care for a dog. They use Porter and Midge to talk through rhyme about ways to approach dogs, how to walk with them, cues to watch for, and more. The illustrations are very colorful and lifelike.

This would be a great book for a youngster about to get their first dog. It would be a great refresher for someone who’s cared for a dog for awhile too. This would be a great introduction to being a responsible pet owner or even for someone visiting with a pet for the first time.

I can’t get enough of this delectable little slice of warm apple pie ! This book is autumn leaves floating on the breeze & hot apple cider warming your hands . I tend to die hard for smutty fantasy books, ngl lol but this one is entirely enchanting all on it’s own. Truly lovely writing wraps around you like soft cashmere & creates a swoony little world just for you . Becky is purely radiant with kindness & Glen sparks belief in redemption. The most gently charming love story I have ever read, & brought tears to my eyes many times … only from admiration of the soft heartedness of it . All good love stories have a touch of uncertainty, but especially great love stories have a cuddle of happily ever after . This is an especially great love story & tbh I think my expectations will never be the same. In all it’s wonderful honey coated glory, this book is the perfect thing for cozying up with & finding peace like a golden sunset before the flurry of winter. AND ! the beautiful playlist included at the end is the melty vanilla bean ice cream on top.

Beautiful dangerous is book four in the Philly Heat series. There is plenty of tense and intriguing romantic suspense with danger, mystery, drama, tons of emotion, and action. The suspense keeps you turning the pages and I got engrossed into the story until later in the evening. This is a fast paced written thriller with developed characters and a good storyline. Beautiful Dangerous can be read as a stand alone novel.
