I have read a few books from this author and she continues to blow my mind. I love how she makes her books from both characters’ points of view. This is the fourth book of the amazing Red Cage series. I was so excited to read this one I stopped everything and started this one immediately. I could not put this book down until the very end. I can’t wait to see what this amazing author will write about next.
Soleil is so excited to actually see her best friend in person. When she gets there she is told to sleep in her older brother’s room because he is gone. She is surprised when she wakes up to Tripp lying next to her. Soleil knows that Tripp can’t stand her but her world falls apart. She is shocked when Tripp is the one that says he will help her. They get to know each other and sparks fly. Will Soleil get her bad boy after all or is this just a job?

Wow! I feel like I got tripped and am hanging off a cliff. This author wrote a hell of a prequel!!! Talk about a cliffhanger. The chemistry is sparking and gonna blow. I did have my suspicions and now I know they are confirmed. That volcano is going to blow and I have to be there to see Riley and Cole blow. Their parents are creating some family drama. The question is, can these two get through it and come out together on the other side. (cue dramatic music) Until the next book. On a serious note, the author packs a lot into the story with these kiddos. Drama, romance, suicide attempts, affairs, and more drama. I felt like I’m watching 90210, only better. I can’t wait for the first book. Bravo!!!
I fell in love with this book. Adam and Christy are so different, they seem so right together. The attraction and chemistry just works. I loved it all: the story, the characters. I came into the series with this one. I can’t wait to go back and read from the first one. What a fantastic romance.

Hot, hot, hot! Romantic suspense that will put you on the edge of your seat until you get to the end, plus the bonus of lots of steam. The story is terrific. I found the mystery and suspense quite thrilling. I loved the characters. I hope for more of this to come.

The Muffin Shop Murder is the first book in the new “Delilah Crumbworthy Mystery” series by Holly Tierney. It is an intriguing, well-woven cozy mystery, with drama, suspense, quirky characters, and more. I have read most of Ms. Tierney’s books now, and she never disappoints. This mystery proved to be a well thought out and intriguing read. The author wove her plot really well, her attention to detail making this story quite engrossing. If you love a great cozy mystery then you won’t want to miss this- especially if you are looking for an interesting, fun, charming, fairly light-hearted, and entertaining story that will keep you engaged right through to the end. I loved Delilah and can’t wait to see what she gets up to next! Happy Reading!

See the second book was amazing and pager turner. This last book was somewhat sad because of the fact that Elizabeth’s sister is missing and her best friend happens the same thing and still, Lila’s detective skills are at the tip of the point to know who the killer is. If only Elizabeth does not get in the way.

Wow, Winter Austin has me wanting to get the 1st book in this series. Give me chills towards the middle of the book. Poor Lila can’t get the shaking fear that the killer is somewhere watching her every move. I don’t like the fact that Elizabeth used Lila to lure the killer to her knowing that she wants to be free of fear. Funny thing that I live close to Chicago LOL.

This book would be a great one for a pre-teen or teen. Middle school was and interesting time and lets be honest, kind of sucky time. This book shows all of the different things someone might face in middle school. It includes teenage drama, bullying, trying to fit in, finding yourself at that age, and the question we all had at that age… is being popular all that it is cracked up to be? It was well written and a I enjoyed the story the author brought to us even if it was not my preferred genre and I am looking forward to letting my daughter read this in her teens. Happy Reading!
Sharing His Nanny: A Curvy Girl Reverse Harem Romance (Forever Our Girl Book 2)
This is not my go to sub genre but thought I would read it for a change of pace. I’m not at all sorry I did. I’m one who has a hard time focusing on anything else once a book has captured my attention, and this one got me. I found myself up reading way too late on a work night, but thankfully I was working from home so I could sleep a bit later.
Stella is a Goddess, she’s plus size and not ashamed and make no apologies for it. She has principles and sticks by them even if she’s hurting herself in the process. In this case it definitely was a win for her.
Charles is would a little too tight even during what is supposed to a month of debauchery with his best friends and any women they can find. Their plans quickly shifted and they have no idea how wonderful it will end up being.
I throughly enjoyed this and would definitely read this and other books by this author. Love finding unexpected gems.

This was such an amazing book, I could not put it down. The author had my attention from the very first page. The plot reminded me so much about my middle school experience and I related to it a LOT! This book was drama filled just like middle school. It also talks about the bullying, anxiety, and peer pressure that goes on in middle school and on. This author had the plot and characters well thought out! Great job! I can’t wait to read more of her books!!
This was a good read however I think it needed more of storyline. While I understand the plus size story line in LA the book either focused on that or too heavily on the details of the relationship. I was looking for more of a plot! Stella made the very best out of what could have been a very awful situation!

Wow is what I was saying throughout reading this book! If you seek a book with excitement, steamy scenarios, and with a good storyline, this is the book for you! Story centers around Stella, a young adult recently graduated from college and pursuing her ambition of becoming a plus size fashion designer. As she is plus size herself, having clothing that conforms to women of all sizes is a big passion of hers. The unfortunate end of her circumstances is she lacks family and financial support follows through in her time of need. She ends up homeless and turns to her distant stepmother, who has never connected with and has kept Stella at a distance. Her stepmother then comes up with an idea in a moment’s notice and Stella becomes the nanny for her Stepbrother’s, Charles, baby daughter. When they all meet at the beach house, which is known for its wild partying with his buddies. His colleagues and friends come along with the month-long trip but now have to adjust their plans as a result of a baby and her nanny. As they become more acquainted with one another, they start developing an attraction and bring up the possibility of what if the excitement will continue even through the new obstacles. This is definitely worth the read without spilling the beans on more details! Enjoy!

This is book 2 of this series and it was fabulous! I love sports romance full of sizzle and this story of Ryan and Peyton was off the charts.
Ryan is a big time baseball pitcher, with total focus and being all about his team and winning. When Ryan meets Peyton for the first time, it started off the wrong foot right from the beginning… Peyton was dating a married man, whom is on the same baseball team as Ryan and Peyton had no idea. To cover his teammate’s track due to be “about the team”, Ryan covers and to be Peyton’s “fake” date. When fake dating leads to something more…Ryan and Peyton’s spark and sizzle is totally undeniable. What happens when miscommunication, pressuring parents and a tool bag of teammate’s jealousy whom is also married come between Ryan and Peyton?
I loved this story and I highly recommend reading this series in order. I am so looking forward to book # 3.

Stella is a designer for plus-sized clothing. She just needs to find an investor to get her line into production. When she’s pushed into being a nanny for a month, it seems like things are falling into place.
But it might be a little hard, since the father is the first guy she ever crushed on, and also her stepbrother…
It can’t be too hard when an adorable baby is involved, but with three gorgeous men under the same roof, it gets hard to think. Suddenly, Stella has her hands full with two of the men almost nightly.
Her stepbrother keeps his distance while his friends take their time and energy out with Stella, but that doesn’t mean he isn’t looking. It’s only one month. One month and everything, and every one, goes back to the real world. Right?
Sharing His Nanny was a spicy, steamy, taboo filled read. I went in expecting one thing and this was not it. It was well written and I enjoyed the characters (in and out of the bedroom). Every person had some growing up and learning to do and the growth was evident.
If you enjoy spice, taboo, and more men than you can handle, this is a read to definitely check out. If none of those are your thing: stay away, because PHEW! It’s hot in here.

This is the 2nd book in the Forever Our Girl series but this is the first one for me. I didn’t feel like I was missing anything but I do feel the need to go read more from this series. Stella is a plus size woman wanting to design clothes for people like her so they can feel empowered and beautiful. She runs into a giant snag with her funding for her line and would be homeless if her older step brother didn’t take her in to help with the baby he just found out he had. Charles, along with Alex and Jordan are staying in the house for a month. Stella is someone none of them can resist. And let the spice ensue. I loved this body positive story.

This is the 3rd book in the Green Brotherhood: SEAL Team XII, but I didn’t even notice so could be a stand alone. A Navy Seal and a belly dancer, how could you go wrong. Cutter and Zarifah are so sweet together. She is trying to get past her abusive fiancé and he is trying to find a nice girl (not a stripper). Can he keep her safe?

Chatroom with a View is the story of what happens when Troy comes home one day from work to find the unthinkable has happened. His life further unravels when he finds out his ex-girlfriend is pregnant with his baby. As his ex digs further into his life to keep him in hers, she uncovers secrets from his and his family’s past.
A gripping tale that will keep you on the edge of your seat while you read, Glenn Maynard wrote an excellent story. The beginning was a little slow for me but it quickly ramped up and the turns it took were unexpected.

Peyton goes to a party and finds out her ballplayer boyfriend is a married man. His teammate Ryan saves him by pretending that Peyton is his girlfriend. Anything for the team right? For PR reasons, Peyton and Ryan must continue to fake date, him for the team image and her for her job. They both seem to hate each other but then get to realize first impressions aren’t always what they seem.
Some very steamy scenes. It is part of a series but can be read as a stand alone and be fine.

❤️❤️LOVE this one!! That beginning? Outstanding! I was shocked, disgusted and thrilled at all the same time! The meet-cute between these two is Soo different and I adored it! Add in the back and forth banter, which is like fire/ice, and that sets the scene for the book.
This is the second book in the series. Both are amazing! I enjoy the baseball theme in these. The author does a great job pulling me into the story with the wonderfully interesting characters and the dynamic storyline. I wished, hoped, freaked out and was sad all throughout this story. I dont want to forget the chuckles. I wish I could read it for the first time again! Anyway it will be on my re-reads list to enjoy over and over.
I eagerly look forward to more from this series and this author!

Let me start by saying this book is so far outside the realm of what I usually read. Normally, I’m good with steamy content, but I keep it to a heteronormative relationship. This book was the first I have ever read that deals with polyamory. This will not be the last. What I learned through reading this book is that the character depth when it involves relationships of this type is so much deeper than in a heterosexual relationship. The growth between these four characters was tremendous. Not only within their relationship and establishing their boundaries / rules. But also within themselves. I loved the character of Stella. I felt like she was a totally relatable character and the growth within her was truly amazing. She felt like a completely different person at the end of the story, one who truly believed in herself and what she was capable of. I also loved Charles and watching him weigh his feelings regarding everyone. I also really loved the character of Charles’ ex. I felt like the addition of her really added to the story experience. I definitely recommend this story, because I feel that Tori does an amazing job establishing and developing the characters. I also absolutely loved the ending.

Everything was coming up Stella when her boyfriend who was also to be her investor was caught cheating and bad mouthing her and her clothing line for plus size women. Naturally she told him to take his money and stick it.
Unfortunately this left her strapping for cash, she had a deadline to make if she wanted her fashion line out in the world soon. She calls her step-mother in hopes for some financial aid when the step mother gives her an offer she can’t refuse.
Charles, Stella’s step-brother, had a baby with no help to take care of her. This month was supposed to be their annual vacation at the beach house. Stella is offered the job as the baby’s nanny for a month by their mother. Having nowhere to go, Stella decides to give it a try.
Charles is there with two other friends and they are all gorgeous in their own ways. What can go wrong this month?
I didn’t enjoy this book as much as I wanted to only because it had a lot less romance and more crudeness than I expected. I loved Charles, he was sweet, strong, independent and made a wonderful father. Alex was nice and funny and very easy to talk to so I liked him as well. Jordan, well he was a different story. I honestly hated his character. He was smug and bossy and I hated the way he interacted with everyone.
Fortunately for Stella, each man brought something to the table and she was fulfilled in more ways than one.

This book is my favourite one of the series so far. What a connection between the main characters. You could feel it from the moment they interacted and across each and every page. They drew me into the story and had me gripped right to the end. This series is honestly getting better with each book. I thought this one was so well written and engaging. I could have kept reading it long after the book ended. This author was already one of my one click authors and this book is exactly why. I loved this story and cannot wait for whatever comes next.

Stella is an up and coming plus size designer who is happily enjoying life with her friends and family around her, but one birthday evening breaks that happiness right open and the person who she was hoping would invest in her line is out of the picture because of it, but with little other choice in the matter, she has to make a dreaded phone call and ask for help, but when she is asked to hurry to her step-brothers house as soon as she can, she fears the worst. Charles Harlow is a man with a plan for his life, but that all unravels when a baby he is told is his, is thrust upon him and his life changes immediately, he is tall, rich and handsome beyond belief and Stella has always had the hots for him, so when she sees him getting out of a car with a baby in his arms at his Malibu beach house, she doesn’t know what to think, but she can see that her step-mother has a plan which soon becomes all too clear.
As Stella and her step-mother talk about her situation, she is told that she is there so that she can be the live in nanny for Charles’s baby while he works and plays hard, just like always, but Stella will only do it under certain conditions and when Charles hears the discussion, he helps Stella negotiate for a better deal. When it has been decided that Stella will help out for the month, this is when two more hotter than hell men turn up, they are Charles’s best friends and they are just as surprised as Stella that she is there, as well as a baby, but they take things in their stride and pretty much act as they normally would on this annual break of theirs.
As a routine settled in and Stella gets to know the guys, one of whom is a lawyer and the other is a personal trainer, Stella doesn’t know where to look, but when they’re intentions towards her are made clear, she can’t resist them, but when Charles discovers what’s going on, instead of being disgusted, he is looking like he wants to join in. With all the stress of her business and trying to handle two men and the possibility of a third, Stella has no idea what the future holds, never mind what lies beyond this one month together.
Will Charles indulge in the taboo nature of his desires towards Stella and what will the future hold for them all of he does? This is an erotic reverse harem with all the saucy antics you can think of, as well as a meaty streak of confidence in both body and business, as this sassy woman keeps getting challenge after challenge thrown at her in this emotional rollercoaster of a story which will keep you titillated throughout.

This book should be rated xxx and not just because of the seggsy stuff. There is male on male, dominant submissive play and taboo behavior between step siblings. There is not a single chapter of this book that didn’t detail some lurid sexual behavior. The characters, with the exception of Stella, have almost no backstory. I enjoy details that draw one to the characters in the books I take pleasure in. While this story wasn’t for me I am quite sure many out there will enjoy it.

This is the 2nd book I’ve read In this series. These Garza boys!!! Wow. I don’t even know where to begin. Soleil comes to Visit her best friend and they end up staying at her brothers house. Soleil and Tripp have been seriously been into eachother for years but neither had any idea. The first night Tripp returns home and finds a woman in his bed, he thinks it’s Maggie causing Soleil to Almost get what she wants more then just about anything. The guys at Red Cage take on big cases and they charge a lot of Money. I really Like how all the guys all have totally different personalities. Soleil needs help and she cannot afford to pay them but, luckily For her, that doesn’t seem to be a problem. When the Garzas care about you, you will be protected. There’s a lot going in on this Book, definitely suspense, and some steam. I loved how this book was written and just flowed so Easily. Loved the characters, and loved the friendships. Aside from this book, over read True Garza but might have to go back and read the others. I’m still trying to figure out Guy’s story!!

Rowan runs his family’s security firm by day and is a warrior by trade, fighting against the curse laid on his family by the Morrigan centuries ago. (A warrior has to find his talisman before his 28th birthday or he has to options. Become a slave to the Morrigan or become a rogue warrior fighting for his life.) As he nears his 28th birthday, he finds himself trying to beat the clock to find his talisman, his protector. Alyssa just wants to make it through her dissertation on Celtic history. After the loss of her grandmother and her fiancée walking out, she is just not sure how much more she can handle. So, when she finds footprints around her house, she seeks out a security firm to help her safeguard her house. Unbeknownst to her, Rowan is the answer to all of her problems and vice versa. As he thrusts himself into her life and inundates her with information that her grandmother should have given her, she becomes even more overwhelmed. It’s not every day that you find out that you are destined to break a centuries old curse on the families of warriors and talismans. Can she handle all the pressure to defeat Morrigan and her sister and break the curse, once and for all? Or will they all be destined to repeat the process for another century?
This was a fascinating read in the sense that I felt like I was learning and reading a story. The characters all had relatable insecurities as the work together to defeat the Morrigan. I think the author did a wonderful job of writing a wallflower’s perspective of being thrust into an unknown world and trying to navigate everything essentially as an outsider. Having to earn trust is huge, especially when it has been broken before. As the first book in the series, it left the door open for more exciting things to happen. Looking forward to seeing what comes next!

My Pearl Heart was such an amazing romance novel. JN had my attention from the very first page. JN did an amazing job with the characters. Each character had their own story. They characters and plot was well written and thought out. This book was a page turner. My Peal Heart makes you want to read it all in one sitting because you want to know what happens next. I highly recommend if you are into romance books.

As an ancestor of Celtic warriors that have been cursed, Rowen Sheridan must find his talisman or die. The talisman is the one woman who the warrior develops a special one of a kind connection. Orphaned at a young age, Alyssa Macaulay is raised without the knowledge of her family’s history and heritage. Alyssa is thrown into the deep end when she ends up in Rowen’s path. Will she be able to adjust to this new reality? Will Rowen and Alyssa find a HEA? Can they break the curse?
I really enjoyed this story and can’t wait for the next book in the series. The story was well – written and easy to follow. The characters have depth and are relatable, to an extent. This book gives you a little bit of everything; action, mythology, and romance. Worth the read!

I wasn’t sure what to expect with this book but after reading the sleeve I knew I had to read it. Chatroom with a view was far darker than I was expecting; it may be triggering for some. Troy, one of the main characters, character took be through a range of emotions. I started out feeling sympathetic to his history but by the end of the book I found I really did not care for him ( well written character I believe this was the author’s intent). the book was well written, though there were a few places I felt like there was something missing. Even still I would recommend this book. I know I will be reading more of Maynard.
