Wild Lavender (Heart & Hand, #1)Wild Lavender by Nicole E. Kelleher
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Wild Lavender is the first book in the Heart & Hand series. It’s a beautiful historical fantasy romance with a heroine who resists society’s expectations of her. Adventurous and inquisitive Lady Aubrianne is an enjoyable character, and her love of horses will make her particularly appeal to animal fans out there!

There is, of course, a strong romance story in this book established from the outset where a chance encounter brings Larkin and Aubrianne into each other’s lives. But there is also plenty of action and mystery adding layers to the story!

There are plenty of great characters in this book! One of my favourites is Gilles, the stablemaster. It takes time for Aubrianne to win his trust, but as she and we get to know him he definitely grew on me!

This book gets five stars from me, and I’m keen to read more of the series. I would recommend it to fans of mediaeval fantasy romance, particularly if you love horses!

This little novella from one of my favourite series just put me in the right mood and now I’m so ready for Christmas season to arrive. It’s October, surely the festive season has already started?! Plus spooky season means it’s perfect timing for a little suspense and mystery and intrigue, which the author delivers in spades, per usual. It’s so nice to fall back into what has become a comfort series for me every few months, thanks to the historical aspect and the generally cosy vibes. Can be read standalone, but the whole series is not to be missed!

Faking the Fall: A Buckeye Falls NovelFaking the Fall: A Buckeye Falls Novel by Libby Kay
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Alice got a bad rap from her family in the past books because she couldn’t really decide what she wanted to do. Now she has come home and her family, along with the town busybodies (Trudy), have started in. Along comes James, who has an instant attraction to her. She has become his muse. These two have some issues to work out. I loved this story. As things get worked through, Alice suggests they “fake date” each other. This story is so cute and adorable. This series is one of the most adorable romance series I’ve read so I was looking forward to this especially after book 3. Their adventures and misadventures during this time had me chuckling and laughing. From spilling ginger ale to showing paintings to his agent to scarecrows in a diner, this is a romance story that you can’t miss. Old faces are mixed within the story. Alice and Jame’s story will have you rooting for them as the old biddies in town are grumpy and living in the past. You have to read this one. I recommend it highly.

Sins of the Father (The McIntire County Series Book 3) by Winter Austin – Review by Angela Shirley

Sins of the Father (The McIntire County Series: #3)Sins of the Father by Winter Austin
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Jolie Murdock is a new deputy in the Eider Police department following in the footsteps of her cousins can she make this her home and find the confidence she has been lacking over the past years. When she is given the disappearance of a missing girl, she goes about trying to find her but when she stumbles across the body of the missing girls father, can she solve the murder, find the girl and help a friend out without losing herself in the process?

Xavier decided to come to Eider to banish old wounds but when he is found over the dead body of the missing girl’s father with no memory of how he has got there, it’s up to him and Jolie to pick through his memory to discover what happened. As Jolie and Xavier investigate the murder more secrets and similarities come out of the woodwork and although Xavier and Jolie are saw her did not kill anyone there is still a doubt in Xavier’s head.

This is the third book in this series, and we shift from the characters in the first two books to a whole new heroine, Jolie at the beginning is trying to find herself and is feeling like she can’t do her job but when she stumbles into a murder her confidence starts to pick up and you see the drive in her to do justice for the victim and the missing girl.

Xavier’s character is interesting, and I love that he is flawed but has the courage to trust that Jolie will get to the bottom of blackout and trust that he is not the murderer, with his history of the military you have a small glimpse into his hurt and brokenness from his service and the horrific injuries he sustained.
The secondary characters as always adds to flow and overall enjoyment of the story, with the fasted pace action and uncovering the secrets and thrilling twists and turns this is another winner in my eyes.
Thank you, Winter, and hope to read book 4 in the future.

Beyond Friendship (The Irresistible Series #3)Beyond Friendship by Marlyn Love

Cruel Love (Hidden Valley Elite #6)Cruel Love by Isla Vaughn
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This was an amazing book and it was hard to put down. I finished the entire book in a day.

This book is a continuation of Phoenix’s story. There was a major accident that left him without a lot of his memories. Most importantly he forgot about his baby and the woman he knocked up. While he might not remember everyone around him does.

To make matters worse nothing is harder than waking up and not recognizing your own body and who you are now. Phoenix is not used to being calm and not going all out and giving everything his all. Doctors say one thing but sometimes it’s not what you might want to hear.

What happens when you fall for the man with whom you have a love-hate relationship? Will he ever remember that he has a child that is due to entire the world in a few short months? What happens when old family secrets and lies come out at once? Will he push his recovery too hard and lose everything?

Read this book to find out what happens with Phoenix. Will he forever be missing years of his life or will he recover?

Beyond Friendship (The Irresistible Series #3)Beyond Friendship by Marlyn Love
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

 

4.5 Stars

 

Beyond Friendship is the third book in The Irresistible series by Marlyn Love. This is the first book that I have read by Ms. Love, so I really didn’t know what to expect from one of her stories. But the blurb intrigued me, and the beautiful cover sealed the deal- so I snapped up a copy and set off to explore. I have come into this series a little backwards as I didn’t realise that this was the third book in the series when I one-clicked- thankfully it can be read as a standalone. But having said that, I now have a taste for Ms. Love’s writing, and am intrigued by the cast of supporting characters- so I will definitely be going back to read the first two books before continuing on with the series.
This is a beautiful, emotional, angsty, memorable, friends-to-lovers romance… with a brother’s-best-friend/best-friend’s-sister element, chemistry, connection, family, drama, secrets, fate, challenges, and more.
Brian and Amanda were perfect for each other. Fate knew it, they knew it- but they kept dancing around each other for a few years… until one night changes everything- and they take a chance on love.
Looking forward to the rest of the series!
Happy Reading…

Thank you, Marlyn Love!

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

This author adds another thrilling addition to the series. These sweet romances are deceptive thrillers with killer instincts.

Hannah Patel is a Public Defender. She isn’t doing it for the clout or the politics, definitely not for the money, Hannah is a PD because she feels that everyone deserves a good defense. It has been a rough patch for Hannah. Her family is still grieving the loss of her brother about a year ago, she was punched in open court when a decision didn’t go the way her client thought it should, she had a panic attack in front of a well respected judge, and her stalker left an even more threatening note on her car this morning.

Doyle Murphy, Special Victims Unit Detective, is on sabbatical, trying to decide what he wants to do with his life. After a phone call from a friend, Doyle talks to Hannah about the notes that the stalker has been leaving her. Doyle starts to feel alive again. It has been awhile since he has done police work and his need to protect Hannah is igniting that spark that got doused long ago.

As the stalker starts to escalate, Doyle is slowly unraveling this mystery. But is it soon enough? People in Hannah’s world are getting hurt. All clues are pointing back to her stalker. Is he responsible? It all comes to a fevered pitch when the police arrest someone. But is it the right someone?

The action doesn’t stop. The twists lead to the turns which lead to more twists. This endearing cast of characters seem to be weaving together for something more. Only time will tell! Wonderful series!

Wonderful, beautiful story that spans a few years in the making. Good things take time and this is definitely the story of Brian and Amanda. I loved this book with my every that I have….friendship, drama, secrets, romance and definite roller coaster of emotions with a few tears. This story broke me a bit… I highly recommend this read.

Mr. Batchelor, Brian Fox does not do relationships. He believes he is totally content on being single forever…and forever guarding his heart with high walls that are hard to penetrate. When he meets this beautiful lady at his club, not knowing that he finds out that she is the sister of his best friend. Amanda returns home to Boston to try and make it on her own with her own business of having her own fashion boutique. What Amanda does not expect is to experience the undeniable chemistry between her and Brian from the start. Brian puts on all stops not to date or be in any romantic relationship with Amanda due to her being her best friends sister……..just remaining strictly friends. Years pass and the courage of Brian taking a leap of faith to go beyond that friendship with Amanda forms this beautiful love between them….but Brian cannot let go of a secret that he has been hiding, afraid to being vulnerable….but when a harsh reality of a potential medical issue and loss…..Brian pushes away people that he truly loves especially Amanda. Will grief and sadness overcomes Brian or will the power of love and strength bond Brian and Amanda that will never break….

Definitely read and find out………..this was a fantastic story……

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Beyond Friendship pulls at the heat strings. It’s a story of triumphs and tribulations for the characters. The author brings you into a world that everyone is close knit and tight, demonstrating what could happen when 2 people decide to take a risk. Written in a way that keeps the reader intrigued and wanting more.
Amanda and Brian have chemistry that’s out of this world but won’t cross that line. Despite Amanda trying to change that Brian has his reasons.
Best friend’s sister.
A life threatening health condition.
Just to name a few.
Because of that they tiptoe around their feelings and he keeps her in the “friend zone.”
That is until one day when all that changes.
Does it work out between them?
Not every story is sunshine and roses, and the author captures that brilliantly. Keeping you rooting for them, despite their stubborn behavior. You won’t want to stop reading till the end.
I look forward to jumping into other books by this author. And if you are interested in a romance with a figurative wild ride for the characters, this is definitely a book for you! While you check this book out, I’m going to check out books 1 & 2 in there series.

This is my first time reading a story by the brilliant author Alicia Street. This the second book of the North Fork Series. I read this first but it was okay because it can be read as a standalone, I didn’t feel like I was missing any backstories. I truly enjoyed this author’s writing style and how the characters and story came together in the end. Blake and Morgan had so much chemistry between them even though both of them were reluctant to act on it. Also I loved how great Blake and Ciara got along with each other. And man on man Fawn ( Ciara’s mother) is a real piece of work.
I will be going back to read Fire Me Up the first book while i wait for Melt My Heart ( the third one) to come out in a couple weeks 😍

Wild For Me (The Balefire Series Book 3)

I am 100% one of the many girls who had dreams of the rock star being their one true love. So this book and series makes the 16 yr old me from 1989 squeal.

Dakota is the one who swore off relationships and want nothing more than a night with a girl if that long. All of that changes in a moment.

Annabelle and her relationship with her younger sister remind me of my daughters relationship with one another and I loved it.

The Balefire guys are the best. I just do not like Garrett and after being such a jerk I don’t know if he is redeemable or not, but I’m looking forward to finding out.

Brian is a man who is only looking for one night hook ups but there is one person that catches his attention. Only problem is, she is his best friend’s sister. The author does a great job with their story and I couldn’t read it fast enough. I didn’t want it to be over. There is so much going on, we get steamy moments, LOL moments and so much more. The banter was great between them as well. All of the characters added a great element to the story. I can’t wait to read more from this author and series. 1-click and get started today.

I have absolutely loved this series, and somehow the author has stepped up their game with this book. It’s an emotional ride with plenty of tension, drama, and steamy scenes. Each book really gives you more background for each character, so I recommend beginning with the first book in the series for the full effect. Getting to see Dakota and Annabella go back and forth with each other was incredibly entertaining. I may have yelled at the book a couple times out of frustration, but that is a sign of a truly engaging book. The flow of this story is magnificent just like the ones before it. I highly recommend giving this series a chance and getting to know all of the band members!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Winter Austin knocks another one out of the park with the next story in The McIntire Series!! I do highly recommend reading these in order as the characters build on each other and the back stories will help this story make more sense.

Jolie is a new deputy on the force. She’s got some pretty big shoes to fill as her father was the sheriff previous to the one currently in office. Jolie is still trying to recover from the events with her brother and his subsequent arrest and imprisonment.

Xavier is bartending at the local bar and grill. He’s doing his best to keep his cover under the bar. When he shows up at the wrong place at the wrong time, he’s the only suspect to a murder. Did he do it? He’s not really sure himself.

This is a rapid pageturner!! There is a lot of action, family drama, missing people, bodies showing up in the strangest of places, and some romance. Overall, a highly enjoyable book and series!!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Chasing Cheer is a sweet and wholesome Christmas read. It isn’t the typical small town strangers meeting and falling in love type, but it still has all the best elements.
The cheer in Emerald Hollow is something Holly can’t seems to put her finger on, so she works to investigate what makes it so cheerful. As she falls in love with the town and the people, Holly keeps finding reasons to visit again. Ash is selfless, constantly chasing dreams to better Emerald Hollow. He stays busy, but always makes time for everyone else, especially Holly, only he knows so little about her. Only when things take a turn for the worst do Holly and Ash have to be honest about their feelings for each other.
The writing is very descriptive, which seemed to slow the story down in some places, but it always picked up again. The twist on the classic Christmas love stories was fun and even unpredictable at times.

Tears into GoldTears into Gold by Cori Cooper
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Cori Cooper Tears Into Gold features Branka and her journey from being a servant in the Fitzgerald House to a magical being with exceptional power. One early morning, Branka was digging potatoes from the field for the daily meals when she found a leprechaun. Patrick “Paddy” Godfrey McDoodle offered her anything she wanted, as any fae creatures were not free to leave without doing so. Branka wanted Mama Cook and her freedom to no longer be servants. To do this she asked for a detailed outline of what her request was. She wanted the ability to change any inanimate object into gold, but it could not belong to her, be a living thing, or hurt anyone. Paddy agreed, but added that the ability would only work with heartfelt tears. Then the leprechaun disappears.
Chaos is quick to ensue and Branka must face several ordeals. Somehow the king learned Branka could change items into gold and she was taken from the Fitzgerald home. Throughout the following months, Branka thinks of Oskar Fitzgerald and Mama Cook.

This is a slow-burn romance story. I found some popular children’s stories infused, such as Little Red Riding Hood, The Sword IN the Stone, The Princess and the Pea, and The Troll on The Bridge. The characters were altered, and the tales were used to describe some scenes and brought back memories from my youth. This is a short, entertaining book that I recommend to anyone who enjoys magical stories with well-developed characters.

Sins of the Father (The McIntire County Series: #3)Sins of the Father by Winter Austin
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Sins of the Father is a dark, edgy, suspenseful romance that kept me on the edge of my seat throughout as all the books in this series have. It’s the third book in the McIntire County Series. Now I previously stated that they were standalone stories and that each mystery was different, the people were different, and the author gives enough background in the books that you don’t need to read them in order but I have found that I’m glad I read them in order. If your someone who likes to do this there are some spoilers if you don’t read the previous books because you do get a little update of sorts on where the previous couple stands at that point, which I know if your not reading in order you would appreciate, but I appreciated because I got to see a little more into the other characters that I enjoyed in the previous books. The other books in the series had super confident woman, and super confident men, usually one who suffers from PTSD which is where this book differs as well. Xavier, an ex-marine, is suffering from a traumatic brain injury, and Jolie is a woman who is lacking in self confidence and wants desperately to prove herself. I still haven’t gotten tired of Winter Austin’s relatable, real life characters, and story lines. I look forward to reading the rest of the series.

Rose Trewin finds herself as the newly appointed Chief of the magical Shademaker Clan while trying to control her magic. King Micah had set out to the south in order to capture Gerik, a powerful, evil mage; however, his plans are thwarted and Gerik escapes. When Rose finds out, she instantly knows that her top priority is to track down Gerik and put an end to his evil plans before he can destroy everything and everyone that she loves. As Rose leaves, the king returns to his kingdom only to find that a religious zealot group has turned his peaceful people into intolerant people. Both face their own struggles and trials. As they lean on each other for support, feelings begin to build between the two. Can they both conquer their different trials and find their way back to each other before it’s too late?

I enjoyed the continuation of this series. Rose has to find the courage to face her greatest tormentor and her greatest fear. Micah finds himself stuck between his heart and his duty to the crown. I feel like the author does an excellent job of describing their struggles and how they work through them. The storyline is still building, and I am looking forward to seeing how it all pans out. I am rooting for Rose and Micah!!
