Originally when I decided to read this book, I thought I could read it as a stand alone but it is a much better idea to the series from the beginning to get better context and get to know characters. This book is built into short stories that are emotionally engaging and woven into a common thread amongst the characters. Warnings for triggers are given prior to warning readers of themes. Stories focus on different interwoven themes within queer romance and its ups and downs and obstacles they overcome. Through it all, readers can find some sense of hope and love. It is a beautiful reminder that in all challenges, we are able to overcome and become stronger in the end.

What a sweet book about learning right and wrong. It’s always hard to make good choices. My grandson really enjoyed this one. I’ll be getting my other grandchildren a copy of this. I love the fact that it’s dogs and cats because its easy to relate to. It’s an entertaining story.

I actually enjoyed Trinity and Shooter’s story. These two had some history. Watching them try to fix it was painful at times but as you went along it got a bit better. I enjoy this author’s story because they leave you feeling like you’ve read a real romance. She makes her stories feel like you are there in them. The characters feel so real. As Trinity is sneaking up the stairs after mudding, you can almost feel it. It’s a really good romance that I’d recommend.

I’ve read the beginning half of the series and was so hooked and determined to see what happens next. Bella has recently left her husband and has been on a quest of self discovery. She is an avid romance novel reader and with the help of her friends, starts to explore a side of herself she didn’t know existed. The series is split into 13 novellas so each one is short but very funny, witty, steamy as Bella gets to explore this sexual side of herself through different dating sites. Some of these men become good companions, those who help her question what her true desires are, and mostly she explores with the support of her friends along the way. Reading her thoughts along her self discovery journey is so relatable and makes you feel as though you are living through her experiences.

Wilde – Review by Jennifer Ramos
The Human Mating Site by B.L. Wilde is the complete series that brings you Bella. Bella went through a divorce and we get to follow her on the journey of finding herself. She now finds herself a whole new way of dating, and each book In the set follows her with a guy she has found. Each man is so different and brings something different each step of the way. I really liked Mr. Kinky and Mr., Almost Perfect but how the ended, truly was perfect and I do not want to give so much away on that. Having the full series to read, in one sitting was so good. I love the writing style of the author and how quick I was able to disappear into the book. I found the book fun to read as I needed to know if Bella finds her happily ever after and with WHO!!!!

Wilde Review by Heidi Woodring
This book was just as good as Wrecked. I found myself diving right in. The writing is done to be very engaging. You are captured by the characters. I noted that the ones from Wrecked are intertwined in this one so the books are better read in order. The emotion of the story is felt as you are reading. As Fiend goes through his struggle, you can feel it. This is a powerful story.

This was a well developed story. The Titans series has always been delightful with its drama.. This story did not disappoint. I enjoyed how the story developed. The characters were very well developed. I felt they were kind of like friends to you. Even with the drama and everything else going on they still found time for each other. Right from the beginning I was drawn in. Callum is one of that I’d love to run into in a dark corner. The chemistry was just right which made for great romance.

Oh my goodness, this is the next book in the Buckeye Falls series. Another beautiful winner in my eyes. The author always shows such beautiful creativity in her writing. She makes Buckeye Falls sound like a town that you just want to run away to. I can always picture it like a fall town in Maine. Her characters feel like they could be your best griends. You know that you’re in a town where your business is everyone elses. This is a story that I enjoyed reading. it was like a ride through the country. I loved seeing all the characters. It’s so intimate. You don’t want to leave. You feel every emotion. One of my favorite romance series, I couldn’t put it down. Romance, apples, and love.

This is becoming one of my favorite series. Jessica would like to live a normal life but somehow, adventure follows her. This book took me on a crazy mystery that brough brama, threats, suspense and excitiment. Several times i felt like I was ont he edge of my seat with anticipation. I enjoy the writing. The author gives jus the right amount of detail. It’s sure been a very wonderful ride so far and I can’t wait to see what’s next.
What a lovely way to relate the story of God’s armor for kids to understand it. A sweet and fun way with bright illustrations in little bite-size nibblets to share with your child as your read together. I read this with my grandchildren and it was a large hit. It will be a welcome addition to our little library
Wrecked appears to be the first book in The Merciless Few series by S. Courtney. This is a dramatic MC romance with angst, emotion, chemistry, spice, brotherhood, and interesting characters. This is my first read by Ms. Courtney, so I really didn’t know what to expect from one of her stories- but I love a great MC romance, so I happily snapped up a copy to explore. While this was well-written, and had all the ingredients I look for in an engrossing read- I just couldn’t find my ‘groove’ with this book- and I’m not entirely sure why. I just couldn’t connect with the MC’s, so that made it difficult to fully invest in them and the outcome of their story, like I was hoping to. I have put this book aside, to read again in a week or so, to see if I still feel the same way- so stay tuned, as I might have just been having an ‘off’ reading day this time around. But if you love MC romances, then you might want to grab a copy to explore, and decide for yourself. Hoping things will ‘click’ for me in Book #2. Happy reading…

First, I want to say that these are beautifully done illustrations. I would like to put them all up as pictures in my house. The alphabet chosen for this book seems a wee bit large for young ones but, hey, it’s all good. It’s an awesome book for parents to read with their wee ones. I loved the whole look and feel to this book. A beautiful addition to any family libary.

This is a powerful story of grief, betrayal and a story of looking for redemption. I have been following this series since the first book. This book embarks on a new level as Matthew is struggling to move past his trauma. By accident, he comes across and ends up with the Medici’s. It’s really a wonderful story that has been written so well. The author has done a great job with giving us a picture of what ancient times would have looked like back then. It’s also a little paranormal with vampires, which is such a nice bonus. As with the other stories, this is so intriguing that it just picks you up and pulls you in.

This is a fast paced story. It’s a dramatic MC/crime boss drama story. I found myself feeling all the emotions and rooting for the underdogs. There is a lot going on. This is a new MC series for me and I want more. It is a little steamy and a bit violent but the story is soo good. They are trying to stop trafficking. I really recommend this for those that like MC romance.

This was a good read. I like these kinds of reads. A bit of thriller/a bitg of mystery. I really found that I couldn’t put it down. The characters were very well-developed. The story was very good. Well written with a good flow. Just the right amount of twists and turns and they tied right back in. This is a really good story for mystery/thriller lovers.
I found this to be a very interesting book. What a concept? Living off souls. The book kind of left you thinking. I liked the story and the premise. I found the characters quite intriguing. They fit into the story very well. There was a good flow to it. Overall, I quite enjoyed it.

I can always count on an exciting read from this author. When I finished this story, I felt like I had gone on the emotional ride of a lifetime. The romance of this couple was right there and out for everyone to see. I’m not usually one to enjoy the sports but this series I do. I enjoy the writing because she puts a whole story and not just sports. I feel the characters are relatable and well-developed. I liked the whole story and really couldn’t put it down. I would really recommend this series to sports romance lovers.

Give me some good MC romance. Malice has all that I require in a good romance MC First off, we have hot MC, FMC needs rescuing. Chemistry has to brewing under everything. Let the drama roll. Oh, did this one have a little of everything. I live for the that drama and couldn’t put this down. I really enjoyed the writing. It was so engaging that you felt like you were right in the heart of it. I can get behind recommend this to MC lovers.
I loved how this is a crossover tale into Camelot. It’s well written and quite exciting. The FMC is quite a strong character. I found I didn’t want to put it down It’s an entertaining tale that many fans of Camelot may like.

Where’s Gramma? by Tricia Gardella is such a fun children’s story book- with cute, colourful, and engaging illustrations that really brought the ‘adventure’ to life. It is told in a rhyming/lyrical verse-like style which added an extra element of interest to the overall story. The story is all about the adventures to be had with gramma/what happens at grammas house. This is definitely one fun and adventurous gramma, for sure. Get set for a fun story… Happy Reading!

This little novella was Scott and Beth’s story.We met them inThe Predator series. It’s truly a beautiful story of overcoming challenges thrown into your life. Scott was Prince Charming to Beth’s damsel in distress. He wanted to be there for her. It didn’t seem like she showed her vulnerable side much. Watching this relationship develop was a beautiful thing. The author a pretty realistic view of how they work. It’s such a good story. It gives all the feels. I loved the writing and the characters. This author does a fantastic job with her books.

Fantastic addition to the series. I love how she bases these off real cases. This author does a really good job with her research when writing her stories. This case had me chuckling, smiling, gasping, yelling at my Kindle and enjoying a wonderful story. There are some really exciting twists and turns in this story as they hunt for the art pieces. I have so enjoyed this addition. I will be eagerly awaiting the next.
Great book! As always, I love the illustrations. The story is great. Showing kids what taking your pet to the vet is like is not so scary this way. It also opens up for conversation. I love this series. It’s one of my favorites.

Another fantastic installment in this series! I came away feeling like I’d been on an emotional ride. The adventure was to fix a reputation. That was a heck of a fun ride. I do love it when a wild man is tamed. This author never fails to entertain and toss in a few twists. It is always an exciting adventured to read her stories because I know to buckle up for the ride.

Oh, I loved this story right from the start. James and Tessa have an attraction and watching that is cute, sweet and fun. Watching them also solve the mystery of who’s stalking her at her bakery is quite the whodunit also. This is a case that is both entertaining and full of twists and turns. Old faces are making appearances and this is a definite must read. This is book 2 of the series.

Taste of Honey brings three worlds of a dominant and new-to-submission lifestyles together in one book. All 3 have tropes of a woman who needs saved and is rapidly introduced to the world of BDSM and come to love it, and their doms, immediately.
Penelope is a librarian who finds herself bored and curious in life. She and her best friend Joan talk about their hopes, dreams, love lives, and more. When Joan starts talking about her own experiences, it piques Penelope’s interest. When she receives a gift box at work holding a fun gift and a note, she is definitely curious. As more gifts arrive from “Mr. X”, she cannot keep her mind off of the possibilities, and decides to take him up on his offer of meeting in a hotel room. From there, she is introduced to things she had never imagined before. Penelope keeps learning new things about herself throughout her journey with Mr. X. Will they discover what they both need within each other?
Courtney is a journalist who has a case to investigate that she’s passionate about – her protege is missing after joining what proves to be a slave ring. They specialize in BDSM submissives of assorted training types for sale to buyers, and if Courtney wants to get in, she will have to prove to be a believable and well trained submissive to the men in charge. Lucky for her, Agent Ty Dragon is also pursuing this crowd of people undercover by becoming a Dom in their Club, and helping to properly train the slaves. While they are putting on a show for the criminals trafficking women, they are finding themselves deeper and deeper into caring for one another. Will Dragon be able to protect Courtney in time before she is sold off to the highest bidder? Will she be able to save Laura? Will they stay safe from one another?
Laura has become stranded in Paris and is so desperate that she agrees to enter a courtesan ball to make some money. While she is inexperienced, that is what catches the eye of Nick, a divorced billionaire who attended the auction strictly to get his sister-in-law to leave him alone. This is where he meets Laura and becomes completely entranced with her. What starts as good intentions to properly and safely train a new sub to keep them from being taken advantage of turns into far more. Will Laura save Nick as much as he saved her?

This is a romance that I couldn’t put down. Cameron and Josie’s story really tugged at the heartstrings. With an air of mystery, I found the story pulling me in to see what happens. The story really brings out all the emotions for a roller-coaster ride. The characters are written to be so relatable. You root for them…but will they get together? You’ll have to read to find out.
