Take a trip (or two) to Buckeye Falls where you will meet CeCe and Evan, the main characters. CeCe is a grumpy and cynical pastry chef who bakes her heart out. She does not need a man to distract her from her love of baking. Plus it is safer and less likely for her to get hurt again if she only loves baking…. Right? Then there is Evan, he is her polar opposite, he is loving and filled to the brim with optimism. He is trying to woo CeCe, but will he be able to succeed? Will she let him in and give love a chance? While Falling for You is the second book in the Buckeye Falls series, each book can be read as stand alone books. I thoroughly enjoyed the first book, Falling Home! I adored this second book. Libby Kay has a fantastic lawyer of bringing her characters, the story, and the community to life. Reading both Buckeye Falls books was like seeing a movie in my mind as I read each book.

This book follows Callie and Brandon, childhood friends, who reunite in adulthood. This was a slow start for me and did not fully capture my attention until further in the book. I did enjoy the past scenes and getting glimpses of how Brandon and Callie were together as kids, it reminded me of my childhood crush. Brandon had such a sweet vibe to him and Callie was a bit tougher than i anticipated her being but she grew on me. She had really been through some hard things and it was nice to see her come around and open up to Brandon. I really enjoyed seeing how the characters have changed with age and how they both overcome obstacles in their own ways but end up on the same path. Overall this was a fine story to read but not a favorite for me although it does have some of my fave tropes.His Forever Muse, The Echo Series, C.R.

This book absolutely blew me away and I loved every second of it!! I haven’t read anything by this author before so I went in not expecting too much from the storyline, but WOW was I proven wrong! Brooklyn has been through a lot in her life and assumes that surface level relationships are all she’s worthy of. Little does she know that there are two incredible (and hot) men that are ready to show her that she has so much to experience and love about herself. If you love why choose romances with TONS of spice and steam, this is the perfect book for you! It has a great storyline, in-depth characters, drama, and did I mention steamy scenes? I just picked up the second in the series as I cannot wait to see what this marvelous author has in store for us next!

After reading the blurb of Taming Brooklyn I was still unsure what to expect with this book, I was most certainly not prepared for how involved I would get in this story, and how much I would really enjoy reading it. I mean I finished this book in one day! Brooklyn has a lot of scars because of an incredibly tragic and tumultuous past. She hides herself away and doesn’t enjoy life because she is utterly terrified and embarrassed until one night she agrees to go out dancing with her roommate before she leaves on a work trip and her entire world changes when she meets the Knight brothers. She is enamored with them and her life with them in it until her unfortunate past comes calling. Boy, was this book spicy and definitely shouldn’t be read by anyone under the age of 18 due to the mature content, explicit scenes, many triggers, and violence but it was so much more than that. When you start you are thrown directly into Brooklyns life now and you don’t know much about what has happened in the past but that is slowly remedied throughout the storyline. I’ve read a lot of similar books and nothing I have come across had such spicy, well thought out, tasteful content but followed along with an edge of your seat, nail biting, thrill ride of a story. This was such an enjoyable read! I can’t wait for more!

This is second in its series, BUT can be read as a standalone! If you enjoyed book one, as I did, you will love this one too! If you haven’t read it, go read it too. 😉 ….Still dream meeting?? Gotta love that paranormal romance steam!?? Super hot cruise, with your dream mates, who actually are your soul mates! 🔥🔥 Ahhh every girl’s dream! 🙊 This is a fast paced read, yet still has an amazing plot! Loved the characters and their stories. Very glad I was introduced to the series!

Return to Hoodoo: A Paranormal Women’s Fiction Novel is the first book in the Boudin, Barbecue, and Hoodoo Book series. At first, I was unsure what to think about the book, but once I got further, I got sucked into Gwen’s story. This paranormal story is set in the familiar but unfamiliar Hoodoo, Texas. I enjoy Gwen’s character and how she speaks about how she has grown comfortable with herself. We all view the past differently when we look back on it, and she has a great voice while explaining where she has come from. Set in a small town, you get a mix of the comfort of home with the gossip of Gwen’s return. She left under unusual circumstances and returns under unusual circumstances as well. I can hear the town gossiping now. Now that I have delved into this series, I look forward to reading more.

I will admit I was a bit skeptical about this read. Reading the themes of romance, paranormal, fantasy mixed in with winter fun, bikers and feuds, something was telling me to just give this book a try and I’m so glad I did! Noelle and Nikolaus can’t deny their attraction although there has been a long lasting feud amongst their families. Their chemistry draws them closer to one another although Noelle has her doubts. The family feuding reminds me a bit of the Capulets and Montages of Romeo and Juliet. They are cautious with the other members when around one another and can be quite confrontational when things seem out of place. Her cousins and grandfathers are the ones opposed to her growing closer to Nikolaus but the female figures in her life seem to be motivating her towards someone who brings out a brighter side of herself. She is torn between her emotions, family and believing the genuinity of true love. One thing I must share with other readers to give this a try is amazingly, funny one liners and the great romantic chemistry amongst the characters. Definitely worth giving this book a read!

Falling For You: A Buckeye Falls Novel is the second book in this small-town romance series. This can be read as a standalone story, but better enjoyed after reading the first book in the series. In this book, CeCe knows what she wants in life and work. She loves working in the kitchen and creating new dishes at the diner. Evan works with CeCe and loves his job (even more because CeCe is there). Will he be able to break down the walls CeCe has put up? I enjoyed CeCe in the first book and was glad to see the focus on her this time. This allows us to discover more about her past and why she has built walls to keep herself from being drawn into a romance. Evan is adorable in his crushing on CeCe. He is a complete optimist and does not let anything get him down. Together the two make a cute romance that is hard to put down. I have been rooting for Evan since the last book, and again glad to see this story play out. I look forward to reading more from this author soon. She has a knack for small-town romances.

Falling For You is the second book in the Buckeye Falls series by this author. CeCe LaRue is a chef at the local diner. Evan Lawson is a waiter at the same diner. The two are good friends, but they think it could be something more. This book explores the challenges couples face when trying to launch friendship into relationship status. I read the first Buckeye Falls book, but I feel this one could stand on its own. The romance scenes are sweet and sensual, with enough description to make you understand what happens but also leaving some room for the reader’s imagination. I love the characters in this story! Max is the best boss ever. Ginny is kind and thoughtful. Natalie is fun and exciting. CeCe is guarded with her emotions, but is an amazing chef. Even has the personality that could make him the perfect catch. I was excited to read their latest adventures. This book didn’t disappoint. I couldn’t put it down! I definitely recommend this one.

In following suit with the first book the in series, this book follows a new set of characters that can interact with each other via their dreams. Jocelyn meets Cameron and Reed. they first meet with Jocelyn is almost 13 and the cousins are 16. Over time, and numerous dreams together, they build a strong friendship. After a tragic accident, Jocelyn pulls away from the dreams and doesn’t dream about the boys for 6 years. Only now, they are all grown up and feelings of friendship begin morphing into romantic ones. Fast forward a couple of years…Jocelyn is now a sought-after wedding photographer shooting a wedding on a cruise ship in Italy. It has been three years since she has seen the men in her dreams. Determined that she had made them up all this time, and falling in love with fictional characters seemed unrealistic, she keeps her distance. However, at the club on the ship, she finds herself face-to-face with them two men from her dream. They proceed to explore their relationship throughout the duration of the cruise. When they are back on dry land, they decide to give the relationship a real try. But there are forces set to tear them apart. However, they are going to have to band together and prove that love is strong enough…or they won’t last. This is another good book in the series. I enjoyed the dream-walking paranormal aspect. I found it hard to like Jocelyn’s character at the beginning because she seemed flighty and came off as hot-and-cold. However, she grew on me as the book progressed. I liked how the boys always had her best interest at heart…even when she wouldn’t see it that way. This is a pretty quick and easy story that I enjoyed reading.

This is the first book in The Club Kings Series and wow it is hot! Brooklyn has a lot in her past that makes her not trust easily. She is just lucky to be alive after all that she has been through. When she meets The 4 Knights they are very much her knights in, well not shining armor but in well made suits. This is a why choose romance and I can see where it would be hard to choose between these 4 men. I can’t wait to read the next book to see what happens next.

Enemies to lovers your thing? Do you like paranormal romance? Maybe you like biker tropes? We have Noelle Frost as our leading lady and Nikolaus Klaus as our leading man. I would be lying if I said Nikolaus didn’t immediately make me go “OH HELLO KLAUS” (ya know vampire diaries…no oh well never mind). Their banters and bickers were super amusing and made me want to keep going. This is the first in a series and reading while it was snowing outside….cherry on top.

This is the 2nd book in the Buckeye Falls series. This author never disappoints. CeCe and Evan’s story is wonderful. She has to come to terms with her past and the fact that Evan is younger than her. Evan on the other hand is happy with who he is and the life he is building. Can he convince CeCe that he is the one for her or will her past ruin it all?

I really enjoyed this book and the narrator was perfect in capturing Gwendolyn. I’m a sucker for strong fierce women and this book did not disappoint. Gwendolyn went many years avoiding her hometown until she is called back to her family home. From the beginning things are not going well and there seems to be a black cloud that is following her after several murders begin to occur shortly after her arrival. This was a book that thoroughly showed that that not all things are as they seem. Couple with the sassiness and humor of Gwendolyn this makes for a fun read.

We are met with Brooklyn, who, despite her past is making huge strides in her life. Then we are met with our “four knights” Aiden, Oliver, Gideon, and Jaxon, who are making Brooklyn question everything she knew. THIS ENDS ON CLIFFHANGER, but I am here for it and cannot wait to continue!

Harry is back after another period of stasis where he regenerates his life force and adapts to become a new configuration, but a lot has changed and so when he finds his way back to Tristan, there are a lot of new things he has to learn, but he is willing and able to do it. He first finds his friend’s house and makes his way to a flower bed so that he can work out when and where he is, feeling relieved is an understatement when he realises that Tristan is still there, but his new configuration confuses Tristan at first, but as soon as he realises that it is Harry, he is very happy to have him back.
As Harry learns about what has come to pass during his stasis, he finds that there are new amazing things to experience, as well as new frustrations and dangers, much like his past lives, there are always new emotions to experience and new dangers to watch out for, but again, life is not a straight line and obstacles are thrown in his way. As night falls and another day moves into the quiet time when Harry is awake, but all other people and things are asleep, he experiences something completely new and scary and so he has to quickly learn how to adapt and what he can do to keep himself safe and get back to Tristan.
As this new situation develops, Harry has to investigate an occurrence which involves the energy which flows throughout the universe and he realises that he may be in a position to help someone, but that it may also be the beginning of a breakthrough of his understanding of his own existence and powers, but will he be able to stay objective which he investigates and decides whether the pros of helping this individual outweigh the cons, or will he put himself in more danger than ever before? This is another in depth look into existence and reality in its many forms and asks the hard philosophical questions in such a way that you learn about life and learn to love the characters all at the same time and this is something which is both enriching and exciting, albeit at times mind boggling in the best possible way.
I really enjoyed this paranormal romance. It was a different take on the typical holiday story with two biker clans – the Frost Clan and the Klaus Clan – being at odds with one another. I wanted the read this now rather than wait months for winter to return as I absolutely love retellings with a twist, so I was hooked just reading the blurb.
I loved the fact the clans were bikers; it was unique to a winter story and added another element I love. I enjoyed the humour that the author brought in, but I can see how some parts may not be to everyone’s taste. The descriptive language used truly created vivid magical scenery which I loved stepping into to follow Noelle Frost and Nikolaus Klaus in their complicated and ‘doomed’ relationship.
I enjoyed most characters and the interactions between the two clans, but unsurprisingly Noelle and Nikolaus had the best interactions. They bounced off each other very well and their banter reminds me of how me and my loved ones can act around each other.
Overall, the writing flowed well, and the story was unique and imaginative. I was gripped throughout and am so happy I found this gem of a book. Can’t wait for the next fun instalment in the series!

Cameron Pompeo has always felt things more strongly than others, he trusts his intuition and on occasion has had inklings which are more than powerful, but he cannot control, or deal with them sometimes, the only thing which he can, is the appearance of a young girl, Jocelyn Parker who appears in his dreams and they get along better than he does with most other people. One night, his cousin Reed Pompeo turns up in his dreams as well and immediately, he can feel a connection between them, so pretty much every night, they spend time in their dreams building a deep friendship until Jocelyn is hurt in an accident which kills her mother and causes her to withdraw from them.
While Cameron and Reed try to manage without Jocelyn, she is buried under the weight of her guilt and the belief that she doesn’t deserve happiness and that the two boys from her dreams make her the happiest she can be, so she pushes them away and suffers more each day for it, but because they are only figments of her dreams, she will get over it, albeit deep down she knows that this isn’t right. In order for her to continue her self punishment, Jocelyn throws herself into existing day to day without them and continuing her life and Cameron and Reed try to do the same, but it is the hardest thing which they have ever had to do.
One day many years later, fate throws the three back together on a Mediterranean cruise where Jocelyn cannot run away and Cameron and Reed are determined to keep her close, so when they do reconnect, the passion and connection strengthens immediately, but what will happen when the cruise is over, will they be able to keep their connection strong, or will outside forces try to rip them apart? This is another steamy romance with an unconventional twist which will keep you hooked throughout as past, present and future collide to create a bond you hope will last.

Falling for You (Buckeye Falls Book 2) by Libby Kay. This is such a fun series and I was super excited it was the story of CeCe and Evan.

Maddie Sutton, Cole Mercer and Charlie Gilbert were just children when they met for the first time, they felt an immediate connection and started to play together and spend as much time with each other as they could, they had inside jokes and shared everything about their lives with each other and as they grew up, their friendship blossomed as well, the only problem was that the only time they spent together was in their dreams.
They all grew up and over time, their friendship developed into something more, but for years, they never acted on it, thinking it was all one sided and that they would have to make Maddie choose between them, but one day all of that changed and they showed each other just how in love with each other they were, but when Maddie starts to become upset and disengage from the two young men, she tells them that she can’t continue this if they aren’t real and are just dreams, so even though she hates to do it, she leaves their shared dream in floods of tears. This leads Charlie to have his doubts as to their shared reality as well, but Cole knows for a fact that they are all three as real in the waking world, as they are in the dreaming one and sets out to finally bring them fully together.
When they finally meet in the flesh, they can no longer deny their true feelings and their bond grows deeper and they know that they will never let each other go, but Cole and Charlie discover that Maddie is in danger, they will do anything to keep her safe, no matter the cost, but will that cost be too high? This is a steamy romance with triple the action and steamy antics throughout where threats loom, but a core of hope threads throughout which pulls you along on the adventure with them.

Noelle Frost is a young woman with tattoos and an attitude to match, she works in the family tavern and serves the bikers she calls family who live with her in their Frost Clan, but she hates how overprotective they are towards her, it cramps her style and leaves her frustrated on a daily basis. Nikolaus Klaus is a young man who also lives with bikers, but he is from the Klaus Clan, they have a similar set up to the Frost Clan, but they have a more laid back view on life, especially when it comes to travelling around and freedom.
One day, Noelle is working in the tavern when someone new comes in and asks for a hot chocolate, this just happens to be her speciality, especially when she spikes it with something a little stronger, but before she has a chance to serve them, they are told that they are not welcome and her family start to make an unusual fuss. The stranger leaves, but Noelle is annoyed with the behaviour of her family, so she follows them to make sure that they aren’t getting into their usual trouble, although they don’t know she is there, so when she sees the stranger again, she cannot help but to approach and talk to him, this is where she learns his name and that she is more than attracted to him.
These chance meetings continue to happen, so when they start to learn more about each other, they realise that they are from rival clans, but they don’t know why that rivalry is there, but amid flirting and more spiked hot chocolate, they realise that they want to know the truth, as well as that they are more than just in lust. As the time passes, will they bend to their attraction, or their families wishes and what will the outcome of that choice be? In this fast paced paranormal romance set in the holiday period, there is a lot of foul language, supernatural fun and a bit of sauce, with a sprinkle of magic thrown in for good measure as secrets abound and the truth is hidden under many layers of familial responsibility and it will keep you guessing right until the end.

This is a fun fast paranormal read about fated mates. It is similar to the first book in the series, with the main characters meeting and spending time together in dreams before realizing each other was real and meeting in real life. With that being the primary similarity between the books, they can both be read as standalone, though if you like one you are surely to like the other.
In this installment, cousins Cameron and Reed meet Joselyn in their dreams. Cameron, having always experienced paranormal and psychic phenomena, didn’t realize his dream girl Joselyn was real until his cousin showed up in the dreams as well. It’s then that he knows the three are meant to be a big part of each other’s lives. Despite knowing this, it’s years before the three meet in real life.
Much like the first book, I loved seeing snippets of the dreams throughout the years. This adds to the emotional factor that is mixed in with a whole lot of steam. This was a quick steamy MFM read about fated mates finding one another.

First of all, let me start by saying that this book comes with a trigger warning that definitely should not be taken lightly. However, having said this, I completely loved this story. I think it was very well written. It is super steamy and spicy for sure! I will say I was not expecting to be taken on this emotional roller coaster. I knew that this book would pack on the steam but I did not expect to have all the feels. Brooklyn is truly an amazing character who has overcome so much but who has also built up so many walls to keep herself safe. However, the walls she has built around her will never be tall enough, she just doesn’t realize this. She meets some amazing club owners who begin to convince her to let her guard down. Who also share a background not so different from hers. The truth is – she needs them and they need her. There is so much in this story that it is nearly impossible to put down until the very end and it leaves you wanting so much more!

This is an author that I have enjoyed reading from the first book I picked up. One of the things I enjoy most about this author’s books is her writing skills and attention to details. This book is no different. This is a story about what happens when your heart is struggling not to like someone but it keeps pulling you back to that someone. I enjoyed how the characters made the story pop. They made the story come to life on every page. I enjoyed watching their growth and their chemistry is off the charts. This is a fast paced romance story that you don’t want to miss. It is engaging and I enjoyed the entertainment value. An easy story to read that will have you coming back for more. I really enjoyed reading this book. I highly recommend this book and this author.
I just love to find new authors and new sereies. This book was the first from this author that I have read and I was not let down at all. I really enjoy paranormal style books and this was a great change to my usual genre. I like how the author brings the characters to life. The story line in the book really flows well as well as the characters chemistry is really explosive.
This book really has a great underlying topic and I am really glad that an author really chose to use it. I cannot wait to be able to read the next instalment in this series. I really could not put this book down and I really enjoyed it. I am on tented hooks waiting for the next one.

This is a great historical romance and the first book that I have read by this author. I thought that it was really well written, detailed and genuinely interesting. The author has created a storyline that feels true to its time. I found myself connecting with the story and I really enjoyed watching it unfold. The characters really worked well with the story that was being told. I liked that we really got to know them and could watch their journey unfolding. I thought this was a thoroughly enjoyable story and I look forward to discovering more of this authors work.

An enjoyable and engaging sweet romance set in the wonderful small town, Buckeye Falls, Ohio. It can be read as a standalone story, however, having read and enjoyed the previous book in the series, I was looking forward to this one and I was not disappointed. The setting of Buckeye Falls was again brought vividly to life by the descriptive narrative, and you really get that small town, everyone knows everyone feeling. CeCe LaRue is focused on her job as a pastry chef, and likes having control in the kitchen. She definitely doesn’t have time for distractions, especially not her sweet, coworker, Evan Lawson. Evan is a chronic optimist, and has a sunny disposition which he brings to his job at the diner. Evan loves his job, but also has a long term crush on CeCe, but he’s been biding his time realising that love can’t be rushed. However, when a face from CeCe’s past turns up in town, as the celebrity chef host of a major food competition, Evan worries he may have left it too late. CeCe was hesitant to enter the competition despite her culinary skills, but when she comes face to face with the celebrity chef she has to confront her painful past. I was fully immersed in the storyline, and loved the main characters and the chemistry between CeCe and Evan. I was cheering them on, hoping they would get their HEA.
